Busier stores, bustling streets and colorful decorations -- the tell-tale signs the holidays are around the corner. The festive atmosphere fosters the spirit of giving, but it’s important to remember fiscal responsibility throughout the year. It can be easy to overspend during the holidays, creating a major financial issue for the new year. According to the American Research Group, the average shopper spends approximately $1,000 during the holiday season. Maureen Waldrop-Elam, Langley Air Force Base Airman and Family Readiness Center personal financial management specialist, and Paul Walker, Fort Eustis Army Community Service financial readiness program manager, provide classes to learn how to prepare and recover from holiday spending. Waldrop-Elam said the best way to avoid overspending is to create a budget and stick to it and it is important to create a budget to ensure funds are allocated properly. By creating a list or using a holiday gift smartphone app, shoppers can manage spending and follow their budget. Shoppers often overlook smaller-ticket items, but it is important to include them in the budget, as costs can accumulate quickly, Waldrop-Elam explained. She recommends planning ahead for holiday expenses, including travel, decorations and gifts to ensure financial stability. “Savings should be automatic and uninterrupted during the holiday season,” said Walker. “Limit the use of credit, by setting spending limits or using cash.” Waldrop-Elam said shoppers with a smaller budget should consider giving home-made gifts as an alternative. “If you have a large family, doing ‘Secret Santa’ or drawing names from a hat can be a better option,” said Waldrop-Elam. Another inexpensive alternative to buying gifts is donating time, said Waldrop-Elam. If a loved one supports
Heritage Spotlight On the afternoon of Nov. 19, 1863, then-President Abraham Lincoln delivered what would become arguably one of the most famous speeches in American history at the dedication of the military cemetery in Gettysburg, Pa. Lincoln had been planning to make a public statement on the significance of the Civil War and the struggle against slavery for some time, and in early November, he received an invitation to speak at the dedication of the Gettysburg battlefield, which was being transformed into a cemetery for the soldiers who had died in the battle.

a charity or organization, volunteering in their name is a cost-effective option. “Time is money, and your time is a gift,” said Waldrop-Elam. “Being willing to give time to help an organization, that shows you care, which is what the holidays are about.” Waldrop-Elam said shoppers can avoid the hassle and hustle of last-minute shopping by taking advantage of layaway programs. “Layaway is a wonderful option for individuals to spread spending over an extended period of time,” said Waldrop-Elam. “The Exchange offers layaway, and it is an excellent resource for those who need it.” Layaway also allows shoppers to save for big-ticket items. Waldrop-Elam recommends setting aside money from each pay period throughout the year to alleviate credit card debt resulting from holiday spending. If using a credit card is necessary, have a plan to pay off the debt in less than three months. “Being aware of your financial situation through the whole year is key so the holidays are not a surprise,” said Waldrop-Elam. For more information or to register for a financial class, call AFRC at 764-3990 or ACS at 803-3638.
The Gettysburg Address In just over two minutes, Lincoln reiterated the principles of human equality laid out by the Declaration of Independence and proclaimed the Civil War as a struggle for the preservation of the Union for the attending citizens who had grown weary of the conflict. Lincoln, who began his address with the now well-known phrase, “Four score and seven years ago,” reminded the assembled crowd of the Founding Fathers’ vision, which established a nation that was dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. He addressed the country’s civil war, which
was testing the endurance of American revolutionary ideals, and honored the soldiers who fought at Gettysburg. Lincoln then succinctly stated the purpose of the Northern war effort by stating, “It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion, that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

VeteransDay
Obama, Hagel pledge support for U.S. veterans By Donna Miles
President Barack Obama places a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns with the help of an honor guard Soldier during a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Nov. 11.
AMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE
President Barack Obama commemorated Veterans Day Nov. 11 in Washington at Arlington National Cemetery, calling the holiday a reminder of the nation’s “sacred obligation” to those who have “fought for our freedom and stood sentry for our security” throughout America’s history. “The United States must never forget those who have stood apart, volunteering their service and putting their lives on the line so the rest of us might live in a country and a world that is safer, freer and more just,” Obama said. “This is the gift they have given us. This is the debt that we owe them.” Obama laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns at 11 a.m. – the exact time the original armistice was declared on Nov. 11, 1918, marking the end of World War I – before his comments in the Arlington National Cemetery amphitheater. Speaking to hundreds of veterans from every U.S. campaign, including 107-yearold World War II veteran Richard Overton, Obama said this commitment is particularly important as forces in Afghanistan return home from the nation’s

longest war. “On tour after tour after tour in Iraq and Afghanistan ... the 9/11 generation has met every mission we have asked of them,” Obama said. “Today we can say that because of their heroic service, the core of Al-Qaida is on the path to defeat, our nation is more secure and our homeland is safer.” He emphasized the importance of ensuring the service and sacrifice that made this possible isn’t forgotten after the mission is complete.
“Even though this time of war is coming to a close, our time of service to our newest veterans has only just begun,” he said. Just as the United States must ensure its troops are the best led, trained and equipped, Obama said, “we have to devote just as much energy and passion to making sure we have the best-cared for, best-treated and best-respected veterans in the world. “So when we talk about fulfilling our promises to our veterans, we don’t just
mean for a few years,” he said. “We mean now, tomorrow and forever. And not just for generations past, but for this generation of veterans and all who will follow.” Obama promised to ensure the United States continues its unprecedented support for veterans, with measures to provide the services and benefits they have earned, including the Joining Forces campaign, which is helping veterans translate their experience into meaningful employment, and the Post-9/11 GI Bill program, which recently reached a milestone in awarding educational benefits to the 1 millionth recipient. “That is our promise to you and all who’ve served, to be there, to support you when you come home every step of the way,” he said. “As a nation, we will strive to be worthy of the sacrifices you have made.” Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki, who introduced the president at the ceremony, praised the unwavering support the nation provides its veterans, survivors and their families. “Veterans Day is about celebrating and honoring our veterans who have given so much for the rest of us,” he said. “It’s not just a one-day-a-year event. It an abiding commitment, every day of every year.”

Every Service member goes through Basic Military Training and technical school, but many may not realize after graduating, they have earned up to 28 of the 64 required credits for an Associate of Applied Science degree through the Community College of the Air Force. Education Center advisors at Langley Air Force Base can help Service members create a plan and work toward earning their CCAF degree in less time than they think. The first step in maximizing educational benefits is to find out what credits have been earned already through military training and which are still needed. For Airmen who attended college before enlisting, many credits, like general education requirements, apply to their CCAF degree. Airmen must request official transcripts from those courses and submit them to the Education Center to be evaluated. “We want Airmen to stretch their time and money as much as possible when it comes to school,” said Ronald Duquette, 633rd Force Support Squadron education service specialist. “If an Airman has taken a general education class before they joined the Air Force, there’s no reason they should have to take it again.” Airmen also earn credits from technical education credits from upgrade training in their career fields, and noncommissioned officers who graduate from professional military education courses, like Airman Leadership School or NCO Academy, will earn up to ten college credits that will be applied to their CCAF degree. “PME courses are a great way for Airmen to earn credits for college,” said Duquette. “They are learning what is required of them as Airmen, as well as gaining leadership and management experience that can be applied to their degree plan.” The Education Center also facilitates College Level Examination Program and Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Ed-

If an individual fails a test, they must wait 180 days before reattempting and must pay $105. Even that fee is most often less than the cost of textbooks used in classes, said Bullock, which cost an average of $175 per class or $900 per year. For many individuals seeking higher education, the hardest thing to do is take the first step. The Education Center staff can help get Airmen on the right track to achieving their educational goals. Once Airmen have earned all possible credits through transfer credits, PME courses, and CLEP and DANTES testing, the next steps, using tuition assistance and the G.I. Bill, will ensure Airmen are well on their way to earning their CCAF degree.

As the colder months arrive, hunters head into the woods looking for deer, turkeys and other game, meaning Joint Base Langley-Eustis is preparing for another hunting season. While hunting program directors encourage the JBLE community to take advantage of both installations’ hunting areas this year, safety is their primary focus. Whether beginners and children first learning to hunt or seasoned enthusiasts, JBLE has policies in place to make a safe hunting experience for everyone. “Our program has been running for more than 25 years without a safety incident,” said U.S. Air Force Maj. Sam Gaglio, Langley Air Force Base hunting program coordinator. “One of my goals as the coordinator is to raise the safety standards.” Joe Dumas, Fort Eustis hunting program director, says the safe environment is what attracts people to the JBLE hunting areas.

Eric Brazzale sets up his high-seat and then pulls his muzzle-loading rifle up to his tree stand before hunting at Fort Eustis, Nov. 5. Hunters on Joint Base Langley-Eustis are required to use a harness and other safety equipment when hunting in a high-seat or tree stand.
“The safety programs are what makes hunting on JBLE special,” said Dumas. “Our goal is to make the environment as safe as possible.” According to the Virginia Department
of Game and Inland Fisheries, one major requirement for hunters is a state hunting license that can be obtained off base. A hunter’s safety course is also required for children ages 12-15 and first-time hunters.
In addition to state law, JBLE requires all hunters, regardless of age or experience, to complete a hunter’s safety course before hunting on the installations. The safety course is offered both on and off base, as well as online at the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries website. Safety courses completed on another base or state will satisfy the requirement. At Langley, it is mandatory for hunters to supply five documents, which cover liability, transportation of weapons and criminal activity checks, according to Gaglio. Additionally, at the beginning of each archery season, hunters must also pass a five-shot accuracy test that ranges from 1525 yards. “The accuracy test is not to turn people away from hunting,” explained Gaglio. “We want to ensure the weapons are adjusted and everyone knows how to use their equipment correctly.” SEE HUNTING PAGE 9

Maintaining a military force requires more than just equipment and people. Breeding a sense of camaraderie takes years, as does the culture and tradition which aim to unite every Service member. The Joint Base Langley-Eustis protocol office serves to uphold that culture, as well as the traditions and history of the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army. “The military culture gives all of us a shared identity; it creates solidarity,” said U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Mary Atkinson, 633rd Air Base Wing protocol specialist. “Protocol preserves that culture through ceremonies by enforcing our age-old traditions.” Since the beginning of American military history, the tasks of defining a rank structure and establishing leaders have been paramount. Service members had to recognize leaders in battle and understand whose orders to follow to achieve mission success. Promotion and change of command cere-

monies were created to formalize leadership designations. As time went on and these ceremonies evolved, unit flags were created and placed next to the American flag, dignitaries were seated according to rank and other traditions were adopted that are still an integral part of ceremonies today. While technology has changed much of how the military communicates, units still hold official ceremonies to convey changing leadership, and protocol offices aim to maintain those traditions.

Chris Copeland, right, 633rd Air Base Wing protocol deputy chief, and Ricky Gibson, 633rd ABW protocol specialist, make last-minute changes to the seating arrangement at an assumption of command ceremony at Langley Air Force Base, Nov. 4. The 633rd ABW protocol office manages both Fort Eustis and Langley protocol missions under the 633rd ABW.
PROTOCOL FROM PAGE 6 Protocol officials also assist the base commander in preparation of tours, distinguished-guest visits, and change of command, retirement or promotion ceremonies, and provide information on proper flag placement, courtesies and logistics preparation, said Atkinson. “If you take a party planner and a project manager and put them together, you get an idea of what we do,” said 1st Lt. Chris Copeland, 633rd ABW protocol deputy chief. “We communicate across our two installations and our two command units to provide our Service members with what they need to adhere to traditions.” Because Fort Eustis and Langley contain the headquarters for the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command and Air Combat Command respectively, the protocol offices at the installation level only cover units that fall under the 633rd ABW, said Copeland. Most of the time, Copeland said the protocol office works hand-in-hand with command-level offices to provide a more complete experience for incoming dignitaries or special guests. The protocol office also sets up itineraries for commanders, vice commanders or distinguished visitors. This way, leadership can dedicate time to communicating with the base populace or coordinate efforts with DVs. “A lot of my work comes from making lodging reservations or adding a personal touch to a [DV’s] stay at JBLE,” said Atkinson. “Our senior leadership has worked hard to achieve their positions, so we want to show them our respect and allow them to continue the mission without missing a beat.” Whether she is writing personal greetings to a general or working with young Airmen and Soldiers who have been promoted for the first time, there is one thing Atkinson believes makes the whole process worthwhile. “When I work on events, I really get to see the big picture and learn about all the changes in the Air Force and the Army,” said Atkinson. “But even among all those changes, I know what I do will keep one thing from changing -- the culture that makes us all family.”

“I was honored to be the one to carry his casket. To me, folding his flag was the closest I could get to saying goodbye.” While serving on the Langley Air Force Base Honor Guard, U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Matthew Mendez, 633rd Logistics Readiness Squadron fuels distribution operator, requested to be a pall bearer at the funeral of Senior Airman Ozziyel Nunnally, former 633rd LRS fuels distribution operator -- and close friend. Mendez’s ultimate act of wingmanship was indicative of his commitment to go the extra mile, something he said he gleaned from mentors throughout his life. Mendez’s foundation for excellence and

selflessness began with his father, who instilled responsibility and the ability to know what is right, not only for himself but for his family. He said his dad showed him true selflessness and dedication by sacrificing quality time to provide for his family. “I [learned from] what my father did for us [as a family]...[to] help me to be the man I am today,” he said. Mendez said the lessons of dedication his father taught him influenced him to join the U.S. Air Force – a decision he made to demonstrate commitment to his country and family. After arriving at Langley, his first duty station, Mendez said he found mentors to assist in guiding him down a positive career path, including Nunnally, who provided him with helpful problem-solving skills and work knowledge. “Nunnally taught me a lot about our job when I first got here,” said Mendez. “Since he worked in the control center, he would help me anytime I had a question.” Tech. Sgt. Jason Karras, former 633rd LRS fuels distribution noncommissioned officer in charge, was another mentor to whom Mendez attributes his success. Karras provided him with additional duties, allowing Mendez the opportunity to take charge of his career. “Mendez is very eager and enthusiastic; the type of [qualities] we like to see in an Airman,” said Karras. “When [important] opportunities come up, he is typically one of the first Airmen we [think of].” According to Mendez’s leadership, within his first year in the Air Force, he showed potential in his career field and demonstrated high levels of professionalism. Mendez showcased his attention to detail during an inspection when he noticed a discrepancy on the placement of a fire extinguisher while on the flight line, causing a potential hindrance for the retardant to reach the aircraft in the event of a fuel fire. This vital correction was something inspectors had not witnessed during prior inspections at other installations. “He is the kind of Airman that will put

forth the effort – a self-motivator,” said Staff Sgt. Christopher Lasher, 633rd LRS fuels laboratory supervisor. “Other Airmen look [up] to him as a role model.” Because of his dedication to excellence, Mendez was then selected to refuel Air Force One during President Barack Obama’s stop at Langley in February 2013. As a result of his hard work, Mendez’s leadership chose him to represent the installation in the base honor guard. As a result of his mentors’ guidance, Mendez began to display leadership and wingmanship qualities by mentoring fellow Airmen in their skill-level upgrade training. “He is the epitome of core values,” said Lasher. “Mendez is not afraid to stand up for what is right and he will stop to help anybody.” The values Mendez embodies were tested one day after he received a phone call from a coworker. Nunnally, his friend and colleague, had died from injuries sustained in a car accident. Prior to the accident, Mendez had received a text from Nunnally asking if he wanted to hang out that weekend, but Mendez already had plans with his wife. “I still have his number in my phone, and I will never get rid of it,” said Mendez. “A lot of regret ran through me, and I wish
I would have hung out with him. I didn’t know it would have been the last time.” The following Monday, the honor guard NCOIC asked Mendez to be part of the firing party for Nunnally’s funeral. Mendez knew he wanted to honor his friend in a larger capacity, and instead asked to fold the flag in honor of his friend. “The day of the funeral was sad and I tried not to show emotion because you have to keep your military bearing [while performing ceremonies],” said Mendez. “The toughest part was marching up to his casket. I had to stay strong for him.” For Mendez, folding a flag that had flown over Langley was a more fitting tribute to his friend. The flag is a symbol of the Air Force’s appreciation for a fallen Service member’s honorable and faithful service. Like Mendez aspired to do throughout his career, he put forth his best performance – something he said Nunnally deserved. Mendez said in losing his friend, he learned a critical life lesson – not to take things for granted. As a new father, he hopes to instill that lesson in his son; as a wingman, he wants to impart this wisdom to fellow Airmen. “[Nunnally] taught me a lot. I feel like he is still here helping me help others,” Mendez said. “I hope I can take what he did for me and pass it onto someone else.”

According to hunting program managers, safety is a top priority to the hunting areas on Joint Base Langley-Eustis.
HUNTING FROM PAGE 5 Once hunters pass all requirements, sessions at Langley begin at sunrise and run for two four-hour sessions on Saturdays, holidays and scheduled down-days. Hunters are assigned tree stands where they must remain for the entire session, which allows the program directors to maintain accountability. “Each tree stand requires a hunter-supplied safety harness so the hunter won’t get hurt if they fall off the stand,â€? said Gaglio. “Once the hunting starts, no one is allowed to leave the stand until it’s over to avoid someone [accidently] shooting another hunter.â€? According to Gaglio, program personnel routinely check and inspect the stands, in addition to marking and clearing trails from debris and poison ivy. Although Virginia state law requires a 100-square-inch blaze orange outer garment, due to each tree stand’s proximity to one another, a 400-square-inch one is required. “It’s our goal to continue to improve the hunting safety requirements for Langley,â€? said Gaglio. “We want this program to be a place where any hunter, beginner or expert, can come to and enjoy themselves.â€? Similar to Langley, Fort Eustis’ program requires a tree-stand assignment to maintain accountability, but also offers high-chair hunting. The program personnel also maintain and inspect the equipment provided for the safety of the hunters. The Fort Eustis hunting program is open every day except Thursday and Sunday and Dumas said the program permits hunting in speciďŹ c training areas so the staff knows exactly where everyone will hunt. Also, hunters are required to wear the state-mandated 100-square-inch blaze orange outer garment. In addition to safety rules, Eustis established a new hunting council this season, which serves as a communicator between hunters and the program, said Dumas. “The council will be a huge asset to the program,â€? said Dumas. “They will help spread information, clear paths, scout for game and help support the hunting program in many ways. The council will be someone the hunters can talk about issues or concerns. They’re going to play a huge role in making this a great hunting season.â€? Those interested must contact the program directors prior to hunting: â– Langley Air Force Base – Alternate director Kevin Graves at langleygw@aol.com or 685-9462 â– Fort Eustis – Joe Dumas at joseph.dumas.1@us.af.mil or 878-2610

As the weather begins to change outside, the climate inside needs to be adjusted, resulting in air conditioning units shutting down and heating units starting up. The U.S. Air Force Airmen of the 633rd Civil Engineer Squadron heating, ventilation and air conditioning shop are responsible for making the change happen. The shop oversees operations and repairs to all systems in more than 230 buildings around Langley Air Force Base, ensuring temperature standards are met to reduce costs and keep the base environmentally conscious. To make the switch from cooling to heat, the HVAC shop follows an Air Combat Command policy that dictates heating may not begin until outside air temperature drops to 55 degrees Fahrenheit for four consecutive days. The policy also states administrative spaces are to be kept at 69 F, shop spaces at 65 F and warehouse spaces at 60 F. Temperatures have to be above 75 F for four consecutive days before the shop can begin the transition back to air conditioning. With heat transition completed as of Oct. 25, Langley will not only see a drop in its electricity bill, but will also become more “green,� as facilities begin using natural gas to warm work centers and residence halls instead of electricity, said Donald White, 633rd CES base energy manager and utility engineer. “Natural gas helps us be more environmentally friendly,� said Mr. White. “Many electricity plants in Virginia still use coal and nuclear power to create electricity, which pollutes air. “Using natural gas in the winter for heating is also less expensive, because electricity costs about two to three times more for each British thermal unit [BTU].� SEE HVAC PAGE 15

As part of the worldwide commemoration by the Defense Commissary Agency, the Langley Air Force Base commissary held a flag revealing ceremony to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War, Nov. 9. The ceremony was held to recognize the service, valor and sacrifice of the Service members who served in the Vietnam War, and also present a new Department of Defense sponsored Vietnam War 50th anniversary flag. Vietnam veterans from the local Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 824 and other retired Service members were in attendance. “I was proud to serve in Vietnam. I was proud to serve my country,” said retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Jim Shamblem, local VFW member. Shamblem recalled memories of returning from Vietnam and receiving a different homecoming than the Soldiers after the Korean War and World War II.
“We didn’t get a parade – we got spit on,” said S Shamblem. “As Vietnam veterans, we dedicate o ourselves to making sure active-duty Service members never get treated like we did.” m U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. David Huber, 633rd Misssion Support Group deputy commander, who had ffamily members serve in the Vietnam War, spoke d during the presentation. “I have served in a few conflicts myself, so it was an honor to attend the event,” said Huber. w ““It was a great opportunity to pay tribute to those w who served before me.” As the speakers finished, the VFW members revealed the commemoration flag. Shamblem read v tthe flag’s description, becoming overwhelmed w with emotion as he read. “The seal’s blue background is the same colo or as the nation in the United States flag. When p placed next to the World War II and the Koreaan War Commemoration flags, the Vietnam War C Commemoration flag will signify Vietnam veteraans taking their rightful place among generations o of U.S. veterans.”

A Women’s Health doctor at U.S. Air Force Hospital Langley is transforming the way medical procedures are performed at Langley Air Force Base. With new cutting-edge technology and 3-D tools, U.S. Air Force Dr. [Maj.] Arthur Greenwood, 633rd Medical Operation Squadron Women’s Health staff obstetrician-gynecologist, hopes to provide better services while leading the way for new medical procedures. Greenwood performed his four-year residency training at Wake Forest University in Winston Salem, N.C., where he learned the advanced laparoscopic skills he brought to USAF Hospital Langley. Greenwood is currently the only surgeon performing single-incision laparoscopic hysterectomies in the U.S. Air Force. Traditionally, hysterectomies are performed through multiple incisions on the abdomen, but Greenwood performs both traditional and single-incision hysterectomies as needed. By using the advanced method, Greenwood only needs to make a single incision in the patient’s navel, and as a result, patients can expect faster suture time and improved accuracy and precision during the procedure. “Previously, women didn’t have a choice when it came to hysterectomies,” said Greenwood. “While not everyone is eligible for a single-incision laparoscopic hysterectomy, women at least now have options.” Greenwood takes pride in performing
“Previously, women didn’t have a choice when it came to hysterectomies. While not everyone is eligible for a single-incision laparoscopic hysterectomy, women at least now have options.” — Dr. [Maj.] Arthur Greenwood 633rd Medical Operation Squadron Women’s Health staff obstetrician-gynecologist

U.S. Air Force Dr. [Maj.] Arthur Greenwood, 633rd Medical Operation Squadron staff obstetrician-gynecologist, washes his hands prior to surgery at Langley Air Force Base, Nov. 8. Greenwood works in the Women’s Health clinic and specializes in single-incision laparoscopic hysterectomies.
his duties and most recently was the first doctor at Langley to use 3-D technology. During a single-incision hysterectomy, he used the 3-D scope. “I’ve been able to perform five or six surgeries using 3-D glasses, monitor and a [two-charge-coupled] laparoscope,” said Greenwood. “I wear glasses just like in the movies, and it allows me to view everything in three dimensions as opposed to viewing it flat and 2-D.” Recently, Greenwood performed a single-incision laparoscopic hysterectomy on a patient who would normally need multiple incisions. Because of the 3-D laparoscope, the patient recovered quicker and with less discomfort. The laparoscope can be bent up to 100 degrees in four directions which provides additional angles of the tissue during the procedure. The flexibility allows surgeons to move through smaller spaces with precision, especially during technically-difficult procedures. SEE HEALTH PAGE 15
NOVEMBER 15, 2013
HEALTH FROM PAGE 14 The laparoscope uses two cameras, each with its own signal, to mimic human eyesight. The signals are processed by a video system to generate a high-resolution 3-D image. The image is then displayed on a monitor and viewed through the glasses, providing a realistic, three-dimensional image allowing surgeons to perform precise procedures. While Greenwood is the only surgeon at USAF Hospital Langley able to perform these procedures, he believes that without a great team by his side, the mission wouldn’t succeed. “I am proud I am able to provide this service, but it’s important to remember everybody in this clinic does a fantastic job,” said Greenwood. “It is important to me that the part I do provide is top-notch.” For more information about single incision laparoscopic hysterectomies, speak with your primary-care physician.

HVAC FROM PAGE 11 Although all HVAC units at Langley use natural gas, Langley’s buildings will have one of two different pipe systems, depending on when they were built – two or four pipe. Two-pipe systems, typically found in older buildings, can only carry cold or hot water to heat or cool a building. The HVAC shop must visit facilities with these systems and manually switch them over from air conditioning to heat, and vice versa. Four-pipe systems, typically found in buildings built in the last 15-20 years, allow both hot and cold water to run simultaneously. They are usually controlled by an automation system that switches as the weather warrants. To maximize unit service life and cost savings, the HVAC shop repairs older systems, as long as the unit is not inefficient, said White. “The process of switching over from [air conditioning] to heat can take up to seven hours [for two-pipe systems],” said Shelby Brown, HVAC shop foreman. “We had four crews working 80 hours to make the transition happen.” Senior Airman Christopher White, 633rd CES HVAC journeyman, was one of the crew members responsible for making the switch. This time last year, White was an airman first class and learning the ropes. Now he is supervising a team and teaching Airmen. “When I and two other Airmen started the changeover to heat, we had more than 20 buildings we were responsible for,” said Airman White. “Each one of those buildings took us about 30 minutes to complete, unless we found parts that needed to be replaced during our inspection, which would [cause the transition to take longer].” Now that the transition has been completed and Langley is ready for the cold weather, the HVAC shop is responding to service calls on a daily basis, which White says only makes his job more enjoyable. “It is a never-ending cycle, but it’s rewarding to help others,” said White.

According to the Department of the Army, more than 80 Soldiers died in fiscal year 2013 in personal vehicle accidents, some of which involved Soldiers driving under the influence, distracted or not wearing a seatbelt.

This past Veterans Day, many families remembered veterans who paid the ultimate price for freedom. Some laid flowers near gravestones, grieving for a Service member close to them. According to the Department of the Army, more than 80 Soldiers who died last year might still be here today if only they had given up their keys after a few drinks -- or even just wore a seatbelt. For Soldiers at Fort Eustis, a paramedic team from Miami showed them what happens in an automobile accident during a presentation at Jacobs Theater Nov. 7, and why they should think twice about their safety – and the safety of others. The paramedics are members of “Street Smart,” a program designed to show drivers and young adults the dangers of irresponsible driving through a series of graphic presentations and demonstrations ranging from real-life accident photos to an interactive demonstration of aiding surviving car-accident victims. “Most Service members have been briefed on safe driving more times than they can count,” said Bob Longworth, 633rd Air Base Wing safety chief. “The ‘Street Smart’ paramedics don’t give a generic brief, they show [Service members] what happens in an accident before
they learn firsthand.” Ralph Jimenez and Oscar Duran, both paramedics from Dade County, Fla., presented audience members numerous graphic photos of car-accident victims. After each set of photos, they explained how the deaths occurred, dispelling myths about the ineffectiveness of seatbelts and emphasizing the science behind a car crash. “Most people don’t really understand the ‘deadly equation,’” said Jimenez. “If you’re driving at 45 miles per hour, everything in the car is going 45 miles per hour. So when you come to a complete and immediate stop, your body flies against the steering wheel, windshield and everything else at that speed. Without a seatbelt, you are 22 times more likely to die in that crash. It is that simple.” The team brought one audience member onstage and reenacted a step-by-step scenario of what paramedics do upon arrival at a near-fatal traffic accident. “We put our volunteer through the paces,” said Duran. “We show them the long needles, tubes and other equipment and methods we use to ensure a car crash survivor does just that -- survives.” U.S. Army Sgt. Maj. Russell Merchant, 1st Battalion, 222nd Aviation Regiment operations sergeant major, explained the value of the presentation. SEE STREET PAGE 17

CSAF launches initiative to improve communication Air Force News Service As part of a series of recent efforts to enhance communication with Airmen, U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III released the first of a new video series called “Airman to Airman.” With all the issues facing the department over the last year, Welsh said the videos serve as an opportunity to inform Airmen on the challenges ahead, but more importantly, to help them understand the logic behind certain decisions. “This is about keeping you informed about what the Air Force’s position is on certain issues and challenges,” Welsh said. “We must do better at communicating these issues with our Airmen. They need to ... understand the reasons decisions are made.” In his first message, Welsh talked about one of the repercussions of sequestration –
becoming a smaller Air Force. “How much smaller remains to be seen,” said Welsh. “It will be a balance between capability, capacity and readiness that we’re going to be walking through the next 10 years. You just need to know that we’re spending a lot of time and energy trying to figure out how to do this the right way.” In addition to Welsh’s video messages, Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James Cody met with Airmen for roundtables and other broadcast forums, and Welsh and Cody are both active on social media. “Airmen have questions and concerns,” said Cody. “We need to be there to provide answers and address these concerns.” The “Airman to Airman” videos will be distributed on www.af.mil, the Air Force Portal and various social media platforms. To view the first video, visit www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbE2QhXN1hg.
STREET FROM PAGE 16 “The presentation did a great job of reaching our Soldiers,” said Merchant. “When [the volunteer] went on stage, [the paramedics] went through a very plausible scenario involving a [homecoming] party many Soldiers have experienced.” Merchant also said the presentation’s attention to detail added to the effect on the audience. “[The presenters] let the audience know what would be happening moment to moment,” said Merchant. “They explained how the victim would feel everything since they can’t use pain medication, and demonstrated what would happen if the victim’s airway collapsed.” Jimenez and Duran hope to educate their audiences with their experiences, but want to do more than just teach, especially when they present to Service members. “When we visit our Service members, the presentation really takes on a whole new meaning for us,” said Jimenez. “We appreciate their service and if nothing else, we hope this presentation will keep them safe so we may continue to honor their sacrifices and they can continue to protect our freedom.”

Results from a recent study that looked at how battleďŹ eld-born vibrations, like those from blasts and heavy armored vehicles, are leading scientists to rethink military vehicle testing and evaluation methods to potentially improve automotive and aviation industry standards. A group of U.S. Army and University of Maryland researchers and engineers have developed reliability tests to better capture unforeseen failures in ground and air vehicle designs. Ed Habtour, U.S. Army Research Laboratory principal project investigator, said the physics of failure, or PoF, based reliability models and test methods developed by ARL, the U.S. Army Materiel Systems Activity Analysis, the Aberdeen Test Center, the University of Maryland’s Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering, TEAM Corporation and the Data Physics Corporation were run on the TEAM Tensor 900 Six Degrees of Freedom, referred to as 6-DoF shaker, one of only two in the world. The project received support from the industry-government consortium which sponsors research at CALCE. The consortium consists of leading electronics manufacturers and users from both military and commercial arenas, said Dr. Abhijit Dasgupta, University of Maryland’s CALCE professor. Instead of the current practice of vibrating a product sequentially for every axis, the Tensor 900 is capable of vibrating a product in three translational and three rotational motions simultaneously. Results provide a way for researchers to better understand how components fail under rigorous conditions where vibration is extreme. With the information, ground and air vehicles can be built better to guard against known vulnerabilities. The sequential and simultaneous
Results from a recent study that looked at how battleďŹ eldborn vibrations, like those from blasts and heavy armored vehicles, are leading scientists to rethink military vehicle testing and evaluation methods to potentially improve automotive and aviation industry standards.
vibration comparison studies have shown the traditional sequential axial testing is inadequate, expensive, time consuming and provides misleading non-conservative reliability predictions. “When we saw the results, it was surprising to us, so we wanted to make sure we could repeat them,â€? said Habtour. “[The test results could] really change the way industry conducts vibration testing.â€? The current military standard calls for systems, equipment and other machinery and devices to withstand tough climate conditions. Military Standard 810G is the current speciďŹ cation the Department of Defense
has in place for equipment and the same standard has been adopted by the automotive, aerospace and electronics industry. Changes to the military standard are going to impact these industries positively by improving reliability while reducing testing time and cost, Habtour said. ARL is working closely with the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command, Aberdeen Test Center and Redstone Testing Center to update testing standards such as MIL-STD810G, based on the research. “In military applications, the reliability of components and devices play a vital role in mission success, and these devices provide crucial tasks such as control guidance, communication and reconnaissance,â€? Habtour said. For years, the military has relied on commercially-available components that are not designed for military applications, but this has led to concerns their reliability in harsh battleďŹ eld environments. Nonetheless, these components can be easily adapted with the aid of the multi-axial shaker that can simulate a “realworldâ€? vibratory environment.
