October marks Energy Action Month, and at Joint Base LangleyEustis, Virginia, the energy program teams are working to meet objectives coinciding with Executive Order 13693: Planning for Federal Sustainability in the next decade. This year, the action month focuses on setting goals for the future such as implementing more sustainable operations to promote building energy conservation, efﬁciency and management by reducing energy intensity by 2.5 percent, and improving water use efﬁciency and management measures by reducing potable water consumption by 36 percent by year 2025, said Peter Phan, 733rd Mission Support

Group Civil Engineer Division operations flight base energy manager. JBLE currently hosts projects ranging from weather stripping doors for insulation, installing more energy-efficient lighting, solar tracking skylights and boiler controls, and replacing heating systems saving the installation approximately 1 billion dollars in energy costs and about 334.6 thousand units of energy, said Phan. The energy team is also looking at solar energy to supplement power grids and geothermal heating ventilating and air conditioning systems, said Phan. While the installation CE operations flights are heading up many initiatives, for Phan, the most important part of the energy program is educating others.

“With all these projects saving energy and money, the biggest investment we can make is to educate the public on what they can do on a daily basis to help save energy and that is where Energy Awareness Month comes into play,” said Phan. Phan added things that everyone can do to save energy and costs are: Q Turn off lights when not in use Q Keep windows and doors closed Q Unplug items not in use Q Turn off monitors when not in use and at the end of the day Q Turn off water when brushing your teeth Q Keep space heating temperature at a reasonable level For more information on Energy Action Month visit, http://energy.gov/ eere/femp/energy-action-month.

2015 Military Veterans Awards

Each October, Fort Eustis Fire Department personnel don pink shirts to raise awareness for breast cancer, but this year, the cause hits close to home as a member of their team, Donna Haynes, was recently diagnosed with the disease. “At some point in your life, you will know someone who has cancer, and breast cancer is a huge issue, so if we can help the cause or bring awareness to it, why not do something,” said Dale E. Hankins, 733rd Civil Engineer Division Fort Eustis Fire and Emergency Services fire chief. “This year it’s personal to everyone here at the fire department. There isn’t anyone in our flight who doesn’t know Donna--she’s very outgoing and is so caring that she would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it.” Donna, who has worked at Fort Eustis for 24 years and has been a part of the Civil Engineer Division for 17 years,

was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer on Sept. 24, 2015. According to Haynes, she was lucky the abnormality was even found during her annual mammogram as it was roughly 8 millimeters in diameter and hidden at the back of the breast plate, making it difﬁcult to locate. “They said if I wasn’t doing my mammograms, it would be several years before I’d even be able to feel the lump - it was that tiny,” said Haynes. “The oncologist said it was amazing the technician even saw it because it was so far back and so small. If it was in there any longer, we’d be looking at a different stage of cancer ... I’d be at a Stage 3 or a Stage 4 where your chances of survival are whole lot less than they are at a Stage 1.” Now that the cancer was found, Haynes starts her ﬁrst step in treatment this month with the tumor removal. After the extraction, the doctors will test her lymph nodes to determine whether SEE BREAST CANCER PAGE 7

BREAST CANCER FROM PAGE 6 the cancer has affected them, which determines whether she remains a Stage 1 patient or becomes a Stage 2. At Stage 1, she currently faces four chemotherapy treatments, and at Stage 2 those treatments double. As soon as the chemotherapy is complete, she will go through 33 days of radiation therapy to destroy any remaining cancer cells. Haynes knows she faces weeks of having barely enough strength to get out of bed coupled with more complications ranging from nausea to severe pain as the chemotherapy attacks not only the cancer, but her entire immune system. With that ahead, she has times where she has to sit and catch her breath as it escapes with thoughts of scenarios she could encounter, but the fear subsides when Haynes reminds herself that she is the one in control, not the cancer. “I still have my moments; I’ll sit and this overwhelming feeling will come, and I’ll have my crying moments,” Haynes explained. “I’m scared, mad and overwhelmed with everything, but you have to get past those. I’m dealing with it, and I am going to ﬁght it the

whole way ... you can’t let the bad eat you up because trying to do your treatments isn’t going to work as well when you’re in a down situation.” When she can’t hold back her tears and lets them roll down her face while in her car or shower, Haynes tells herself, “It’s okay this is just a thing that I am going to get through and take care of.” What makes it easier is that she isn’t taking care of it alone, Haynes said. Her support comes from not only her family, including her daughter and coworkers, but also from her bowling team and church groups who display their individual acts of support through prayer, awareness campaigns or hugs. “If you’re alone and you don’t have people to talk to about it or be there just to be there, you will get in that depressed state,” said Hayes. “And, it helps to talk not just for support, but to educate others.” As Haynes enters the beginning phase of her recovery, rather than considering her diagnosis a setback, she’ll use her experience and knowledge as a tool to educate and advocate the importance of prevention from a battler’s perspective.

U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 633rd Medical Group participated in a mass casualty training exercise at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, Oct. 13-15. During the exercise, the medics practiced building an Air Force theater hospital, like the facility used during humanitarian relief operations in West Africa, which allowed for advanced treatment of simulated casualties. According to Lt. Col. Kara Gormont, 633rd Medical Support Squadron and Global Response Force commander, the training was integral because Langley medics are a part of one of four GRFs in the Air Force, and must maintain the ability to quickly deploy within 72-hours’ notice and execute decisive-action operations worldwide. “As medics, this is not our normal day-to-day workload, so training helps to ensure when we are called to deploy, the team is functional and able to meet critical windows to treat patients,” said Senior Master Sgt. Jennifer Howell, 633rd Medical Support Squadron superintendent. “We need to be able to do this with limited support from [civil

www.peninsulawarrior.com

engineers] and [the logistic readiness squadron] as they are working on setting up base camp and other functions in a deployed setting.” Only one-third of the Airmen who participated in the training also played roles in the West Africa Ebola missions, so the majority of the medics received initial training on in-theater hospital set-up. “The ﬁrst tent we set up was not put up as easily and quickly as the tenth tent,” “At times, the seasoned members were forced to slow down and learn along with the new Airmen; not only does everyone learn their role, but we also learn how to do things better because the newer Airmen have great ideas.” Whether participants were seasoned or new medics, Howell said the training did a good job of mimicking real world operations because the medics must be able to be incredibly ﬂexible and creative while deployed. “The best part about being part of a unique deployment mission like the GRF is knowing that when we deploy we are going to be a part of something bigger,” said Howell. “[In Liberia] we had the opportunity to do something bigger than us and our little piece of the puzzle made a huge impact on the overall mission.”

New course for E7s begins as part of NCO education overhaul By Gary Sheftick ARMY NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON -- A new Master Leader Course pilot begins this week as part of a revamping of noncommissioned officer, or NCO, education and professional development. “As you may or may not know, the Master Leader Course is now official,” said Command Sgt. Maj. David S. Davenport Sr. of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, or TRADOC, speaking during a forum at the Association of the United States Army Annual Meeting and Exposition, Oct. 14. The first pilot of the course for sergeants first class is now being taught on Fort Bliss, Texas. The new course will eventually be required for promotion to master sergeant and is part of a renewed emphasis across the Army on NCO education. There’s a push to eliminate the current backlog of more than 14,000 NCOs, who have not gone to their required professional military education, or PME, Davenport said. “Deferments are causing a huge disruption,” Davenport said. In the future, instead of just saying that an NCO can’t go to school due to an operational conflict, commanders will need to say when that NCO can go to school, Davenport said. PME requirements for promotion will no longer be waived for NCOs, he said, beginning next year. Enforcing education requirements comes as a widening of STEP, which stands for selection, training, education and promotion. It was first used to require master sergeants and first sergeants to attend the Sergeants Major Academy, or USASMA, to get promoted and now it’s expanding to all NCO ranks. It’s simple, but everyone must understand, Davenport said, “You will not be promoted until you attend the appropriate level of PME.” Other upcoming changes include: Q Establishing the NCO Professional

Development System (per HQDA EXORD 235-15) Q Renaming of the Warrior Leader Course to Basic Leader Course Q Using a digital job book that documents all training for Soldiers as part of the Digital Training Management System, or DTMS Q Redesign of the USASMA Q Establishment of the Institution for NCO Professional Development, or INCOPOD Q Development of an Executive Leader Course for command sergeants major Q Publicizing more broadening opportunities for NCOs Q Providing a “digital rucksack” to students that includes course materials, apps and technical manuals Q Requiring Army Service School Academic Reports, or DA 1059s, to include date of a Soldier’s last physical fitness test, along with a height and weight statement The effective date of the last change and others may be determined by a proponency conference taking place this week, Davenport said. The changes will be “revolutionary,” not just “evolutionary” like past changes to NCO professional development, said Davenport and retired Sgt. Maj. of the Army Kenneth Preston, who served as moderator for the panel discussion. “Noncommissioned officers and their Soldiers must be ready to perform [their] missions in an increasingly complex world in which they find themselves today,” Preston said. “This is an opportunity for the NCO Corps to take charge of NCOES [Noncommissioned Officer Education System] of how we educate our noncommissioned officers,” said retired Command Sgt. Maj. John D. Sparks, who is now director of TRADOC’s Institute for Professional Development. “You’ve got to own NCOES,” Sparks told NCOs in the room about rebalancing the NCO Education System. “Training is the fulcrum for manning and equipping,” said Command Sgt. Maj. Scott Schroeder of U.S. Army Forc-

Command Sgt. Maj. David S. Davenport Sr. of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command speaks about changes to NCO education and professsional development during a forum at the Association of the U.S. Army Annual Meeting and Exposition, in Washington, D.C., Oct. 14, 2015.

“This is an opportunity for the NCO Corps to take charge of NCOES [Noncommissioned Ofﬁcer Education System] of how we educate our noncommissioned ofﬁcers,” — Retired Command Sgt. Maj. John D. Sparks Director of TRADOC’s Institute for Professional Development

es Command. “We must develop systems and policies” that enable PME to sync with deployments and operational missions, Schroeder said. He and retired Lt. Col. Ernie Boyd of U.S. Army Forces Command, or FORSCOM, discussed the new Sustainable Readiness Model, or SRM, which will be used for Army Force Generation. Many broadening opportunities for NCOs exist in the Army today that are not used to full advantage, Sparks said.

Davenport said there will be a “shaking up” of broadening opportunities, to ensure all of the opportunities are widely known. “We’ve got to deﬁne what broadening is,” said Schroeder, explaining that the term is used for everything from fellowships to drill instructor assignments. A “hybrid solution” needs to be developed to meet both operational and educational requirements, Schroeder said. More frequent classes might be one solution, he said. Leveraging technology might be another, Davenport said. One thing is certain, Schroeder said, “We can’t go back to where we used to be.” “We can’t continue to do business as usual,” he added. The solutions can’t be made “in a stovepipe,” Schroeder said, and must be discussed “across our staff sections.” While G3 (operations and training) is usually the proponent for schools, G1 (personnel) and other sections also need to be involved. More guidance on NCO professional development is expected in December, Davenport said, with a third fragmentary order to be released in the spring.

Summary Court Ofﬁcer

Red Cross needs blood donations

The Summary Court Ofﬁcer detailed to secure and make proper disposition of the personal effects of Tech. Sgt. Jesse Schierloh is Capt. Capt Jeff Dekkinga, 27th Intelligence Squadron. Anyone having knowledge of money or property due to deceased or claims against the deceased’s estate, contact Dekkinga at (757) 225-8709 or (618) 444-9925.

Blood and platelet donations decline during the summer months, especially around holidays like Independence Day. Holiday travel causes many donors to be less available to give and many hosting organizations postpone blood drives while people are on vacation. In fact, more than 40 percent of blood and platelet donors indicated plans to travel this Independence Day holiday and these factors often contribute to seasonal blood shortages. To donate blood or for more information, call (800) 733-2767, or visit redcrossblood.org.
