‘ORGANIZED CHAOS’ By Staff Sgt. Aubrey White 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

“I can help who’s next,” a deep voice announced from behind a large desk and computer that hide all but his short-cut black hair. A hand reaches out from behind the counter gesturing for the next person in line to approach. A masked woman inches forward, sniffling with each step she takes. Before she could utter one word, a man pushing a shrieking woman in a wheelchair comes bolting toward the desk, a trail of blood following. The deep voice, who is actually a startled young man dressed in military fatigues, jumps up out of his seat at the commotion that ripped through his otherwise peaceful Sunday morning. “Your heart rate goes up, you get tunnel vision, your hands might shake a little bit and you have to say to yourself, ‘calm down, you’ve got this,’ and you focus on what the patient needs,” said U.S. Air Force Maj. Karen Lugg, the emergency room flight commander at the 633rd Medical Operations Squadron, of an emergency situation. “Emergency nursing is just figuring out what it is that could kill you and making sure that does not happen,” she continued. “We’ve got to keep your blood in you, we’ve got to keep you breathing and we’ve got to make sure your heart is beating; after that we can take a deep breath and fix the rest.” Every day the USAF Hospital Langley emergency department staff treats upwards of 100 patients who suffer from a wide variety of ailments ranging from common colds to broken bones; they see it all. What separates this ER from civilian facilities is its dedication to providing care specifically for U.S. Service members and their families. “Lately we’ve been seeing an uptick in our tempo in terms of up to 130 [people]; it’s pretty high daily,” Lugg explained. “We also are the emergency service for a lot of folks from the Navy as well as Army personnel and their dependents.” Because it isn’t up to the staff to determine whether or not a person feels they are having an emergency, Lugg encouraged individuals to go to the ER if they are concerned for their health and cannot see their primary care manager in a timely manner. For this reason, the ER features two sections called the Fast Track and the Main ER. “Fast Track would be for patients that are here for like colds, something that doesn’t need a lot of intervention,” Maj. Johnny Guer-

ra, ER element leader at the 633rd MDOS, explained. “Most of the volumes of the patients that we see are Fast Track and so there might be a little delay in getting to them quickly, but we try and do what we can to make sure they’re seen in a timely manner. “Then we have the main ER for individuals who are coming in with chest pain, abdominal pain, things that are going to require a little bit more invasive stuff like putting in an IV, taking X-rays, ultrasounds, CAT scans,” he continued. “The main ER has approximately 17 beds.” In addition to being mindful of the department’s foundation, Guerra asked that patients refrain from calling them directly to seek treatment over the phone because it is illegal to do so; however, the TRICARE Nurse Advice Line can legally triage over the phone and direct patients to the best treatment route. Lugg and Guerra asserted their doctors, nurses, technicians and administrative staff are highly-skilled professionals prepared to take on the volume of Department of Defense beneficiaries who live in close proximity to Langley. “We meet the standards just like a community hospital or ambulance service would provide,” Guerra explained. “Our folks are at the highest level that is recognized throughout the United States; our docs are board certified; the people that we have in here are the cream of the crop, they’re experts in what they do.” Included in the ER staff are in-house paramedics who respond to all 911 emergencies on base as well as inflight emergencies after 4:30 p.m. “The ER accepts [patients], all day, every day, 365 [days a year]; we’re never closed, there’s no downtime,” Lugg said. “Our motto for the squadron is ‘Med-Ops Never Stops’ and that’s us. We never stop. Our staffing provides the best team care to our patients and it’s constant.” Guerra admitted sometimes the ER staff gets to a point where the work feels repetitive, so building a family-like atmosphere at work and allowing for leave, when possible, helps break up the routine. “Sometimes it’s a juggle and sometimes we might have to tweak things here or there, but that’s important because that’s time to spend with their family and decompress,” Lugg agreed. “You can accomplish mission and try to have some time off as well to replenish your soul.” Despite working through the “organized chaos” that is the ER; both nurses agreed remembering to have empathy for patients goes a long way in their care.

“There was a case one time that had me reﬂect on why I was doing what I was doing,” Guerra recalled of a patient he treated. “She was a very young lady, she was very angry with everyone, and after getting to why she was angry, she basically said she’s got something terminal and she’ll never have a family. She pointed to me saying, ‘You have kids, you have a family, you’re married,’ Her telling me that there are people out there who are hurting, sometimes we don’t know why until they’re able to open up. That made me choke up a lot and that’s the kind of stuff we come across on a daily basis. We need to be a little bit more compassionate regardless of how tough it is. “To do what nobody else will do, a way that nobody else can do, in spite of all we go through; that is to be a nurse,” Guerra continued, reciting a quote by Rawsi Williams, BSN, RN. “We love what we do; we love it. I wouldn’t change it for the world.” For information about Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, medical care, visit www.jble.af.mil/ medicalinformation.asp.

64 construction to affect Fort Eustis commuters By Airman 1st Class Breonna Veal 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Starting Spring 2016, the Virginia Department of Transportation began the first of a three-segment, six-year construction project designed to widen Interstate 64. According to VDOT, the first operationally independent segment in Newport News will span approximately 5.6 miles, from west of Route 143, Jefferson Avenue, exit 255, just east of Route 238, Yorktown Road, exit 247. This corridor of I-64 ties into an eight-lane interstate system to the east and is currently the most congested section of I-64 on the Peninsula. With more than 100,000 motor vehicles travelling through the corridor daily, the project can cause serious delays or even stop traffic during rush hour for many commuters travelling to and from Fort Eustis. While a majority of the work will occur in the median of the interstate, drivers are still encouraged to maintain the lowered speed limit of 55 miles per hour and remain vigilant while changing lanes and passing construction workers. “Orange cones, no phones,” said Paula Miller, Hampton Roads district communications manager for the VDOT. “Even though all drivers should be using handsfree devices while operating a vehicle, it is especially important to be aware of your surroundings when driving through a work zone. As you are on your way home, remember that our workers want to go home at night, too.” To avoid both vehicle accidents and traffic, Fort Eustis commuters are encouraged to take alternate routes to alleviate the congestion that forms at the bottleneck. Listed are alternate routes to and from Fort Eustis. ■ If travelling from Fort Eustis and heading westbound, take Route 60 West to the Busch Gardens Ramp, then get back on to I-64 West. ■ If travelling from Fort Eustis and heading westbound, take Jefferson Ave, Route 143, West until you reenter I-64 West at Exit 247 (Lee Hall). ■ Going I-64 eastbound from Fort Eustis, take Jefferson Ave, route 143 East, to exit 255 towards VA Beach and Hampton to go around the influx of traffic going east. ■ Going I-64 eastbound from Fort Eustis, travel down Fort Eustis Blvd until Route 17 South. Continue until I-64 East at Exit 258. ■ Also, to go around the influx of traffic if headed West, travel down Fort Eustis Blvd until Route 17 North, then continue North until the Colonial Parkway. Take the Colonial Parkway to Route 199 West back to I-64 West. Commuters are also encouraged to check for traffic delays through the free traffic information tools such as their Twitter, @I64VA.

#NOTJUSTAPRIL

(YHQW UHFRJQL]HV LPSRUWDQFH RI ZLQJPHQ DOO \HDU

Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James A. Cody shares a story that inﬂuenced him, both as a senior enlisted leader and the father of a college-aged daughter, during a Sexual Assault Awareness Month event at the Pentagon March 17, 2016.

By Tech. Sgt. Bryan Franks SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMAND INFORMATION

WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Senior leaders kicked off the Air Force’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response #notjustApril campaign March 17 during an event at the Pentagon. The secretary, chief of staff and chief master sgt. of the Air Force joined other Airmen to read testimonies from sexual assault survivors and discussed Airmen’s roles in supporting sexual assault survivors and preventing this crime. The event promoting the #notjustApril campaign came in front of the Defense Department’s ofﬁcial recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April to highlight the importance of Airmen’s engagement all year. Using the Air Force core values as the foundation for her comments, Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James said integrity is imperative in this issue and the Air Force needs to look in the mirror and accept the fact that there is a problem. “I think it’s getting better,” James said. “However, we need to look at ourselves and our shortcomings and identify ways we can continue to improve.” James went on to say that Airmen’s ‘service before self’ is not only answering the nation’s call to serve, but also the call to serve each other. “Survivors of sexual assault deserve the support of the institutional Air Force, but they also deserve the support of their peers and their wingmen,” James said. “Wingmen play

a vital role in building and restoring units’ climate and in supporting victims in their recovery.” James challenged leaders from commanders to frontline supervisors to demonstrate excellence by setting a professional atmosphere, enforcing the standards of conduct, and being prepared to walk the walk. Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III spoke about members of one Air Force – active duty, Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, ofﬁcer, enlisted and civilian Airmen – who stand side by

side and shoulder to shoulder to provide whatever is needed to prevent sexual assault. “We have lots of numbers in the business, as we track different things,” Welsh said. “I would offer to you that the only number that really matters is one. One victim, one criminal, one event, one life shattered, one family shattered, one unit forever affected … now multiply that one person by all the lives that they touch and then multiply that number by 2,400. That’s the impact.” Welsh also said that prevention starts with averting one sexual assault, and it must continue one by one until all are stopped. “It’s about one and the only number more signiﬁcant than that one is zero,” Welsh said. “When we get there, we will celebrate and we will work harder the next day to make sure it stays there.” Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James A. Cody said that in his time as the highest ranking enlisted member in the Air Force, he has evolved how he looks at sexual assault prevention after hearing a friend’s story. His friend’s daughter was excited about joining the Air Force, but as she was getting ready to leave home, she told her father she was afraid of being

raped. When her father asked why, she conﬁded she had been sexually assaulted at a high school party after having a drink. Despite their great relationship, she had been ashamed to tell her father before because he had warned her not to drink and how to dress, and she blamed herself. That’s when Cody realized he had often said the same things to his daughter. “I wasn’t helping her be any safer,” Cody said. “I was really just building up an environment where if something happened she couldn’t feel she could come to me because I had already told her it was her fault every single time I watched her walk out that door.” Cody said the experience changed his dialogue with his daughter and helped him better understand prevention. They began talking about the wingmen she was going out with and who would have her back. “You are going to go out, you are going to experience life,” Cody said. “Our Airmen have to trust each other enough so they know we will always be there for each other. We’re never ever going to blame them for something horriﬁc that’s happening. We are just going to be there to try and help them. We can never rewind the clock, but we can be there to support them.

Carter Names First Female Combatant Commander By Cheryl Pellerin DOD NEWS, DEFENSE MEDIA ACTIVITY

If confirmed, the new Northcom chief will be the first woman to lead a U.S. combatant command.

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY ANNOUNCES ASSOCIATED UNITS PILOT The United States Army announced today the implementation of the Associated Units pilot, establishing formal relationships between identified units across the Active Army, Army Reserve, and the Army National Guard that would allow those units to train together before deployment. "Much of America's Army's capacity is resident in the Reserve Components and we must rely more heavily on them to meet the demands of a complex global environment," Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, Gen. Mark Milley said. "The Associated Units pilot allows us to leverage the capabilities and capacities of the Active Component, Army Reserve and the Army National Guard as One Army." "The Associated Units pilot facilitates readiness and strategic depth across components," Lt. Gen. Jeffrey W. Talley, Chief of Army Reserve said. "These units will train, build readiness, and ultimately fight as One Army." The planned association of Georgia-based units will be the first Associated Units. This summer, Task Force 1-28 Infantry, an Active Army infantry battalion stationed on Fort Benning, Georgia, will be associated with the 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, a Georgia Army National Guard unit.

TIPS FOR GETTING GOOD SLEEP Avoid too much alcohol before bed. In general, alcohol may put you to sleep faster, but it will rob you of good quality sleep, leading to increased awakenings during the night and changes to the structure of your sleep stages. Don’t exercise intensely too close to your bedtime—it can delay your ability to fall asleep partly through increases in core body temperature. We feel tired and sleep best as our daily rhythm in core body temperature begins to naturally lower before habitual bedtime.

Sleep disruption is common among military personnel; often unavoidable during deployments, up-tempo operations, and other evolutions critical to mission success. Several studies indicate a large portion of military members do not routinely get the recommended seven or more hours of sleep each night. This increases the risk of developing insomnia and other sleep disorders. Scientists at the Naval Health Research Center’s (NHRC) Sleep and Fatigue Research Laboratory are studying the sleep concerns warﬁghters face. Their research addresses sleep throughout the continuum of military service; from the new recruit to the transition back to civilian life. There is currently no available ambulatory sleep monitoring device that is operationally-practical and capable of accurate, real-time auto-assessment and user feedback within opera-

tional settings. This capability gap has been identiﬁed at military workshops and meetings as a major obstacle to identifying sleep issues and managing fatigue. The availability of such a device would also allow for reliable at-home monitoring and the ability to gain awareness of how behaviors impact sleep quality before and after operational engagement. To address this gap, the NHRC sleep research team is evaluating new consumer-available technologies in order to determine which, if any, perform well against the gold-standard methods of laboratory-based polysomnography and mobile wrist actigraphy for assessing sleep. NHRC is also conducting studies with colleagues at the Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD) Sleep Clinic to determine if emerging sleep assessment technologies and smart phone applications can be used to help ﬂag suspected sleep disorders and/or supplement the treatment of

insomnia at clinics. It is important to test the effectiveness of these technology packages as stand-alone products, either as a prevention or screening tool or as a ﬁrstline intervention. NHRC is also collaborating with the NMCSD OASIS program, a residential treatment facility for patients with combat-related PTSD, to test the effect of a brief, manualized behavioral treatment program for insomnia. Interventions that target behavioral change have been shown to be effective and long-lasting for many different patient populations experiencing poor sleep. Overall research ﬁndings suggest that inadequate levels of sleep when sustained over time increase the risk of physiological disease (including metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes), may decrease testosterone levels, and lower immune system functioning, allowing greater susceptibility to illness. These are just some of the physiological effects poor sleep can have over time.

Avoid large meals within two-three hours of bedtime. The physiological process of digestion can interfere with sleep, especially after consuming foods high in fat, protein, and spice. If you’re hungry, have a light snack. Intense hunger can keep you awake too. When your stomach is growling, a light snack can take care of the hunger pains without disrupting sleep. Skip the caffeine six hours before bed. Caffeine taken too close to bedtime can also interfere with your body’s ability to fall asleep and obtain restful sleep, more so if you are sensitive to the effects of it. Create a sleep environment that is quiet, dark, and not overly hot. Whenever possible, this includes limiting potential interruptions from pets, roommates, and street noise. Fans, white-noise generating machines and earplugs can help with unwanted noise interruptions. Avoid exposure to bright light at night—this includes overhead lights and light exposure from TVs and handheld electronic devices. Light can impact your ability to fall asleep at your desired bedtime by delaying your body’s internal clock and propensity to fall asleep until a later time. Set a time for going to bed and waking up that is as consistent as possible from one day to the next.
