Langley Youth Programs wins Program of the Year by Airman 1st Class Derek Seifert 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
The Langley Youth Programs at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia continued their winning streak upon being named Program of the Year by Boys and Girls Club of America while competing against all military installations and BGCAs throughout the Virginia and Washington D.C. area in 2015. This year marks the program’s third victory since 2013 at the local, state and regional levels of the competition. Each year, youth programs, which is affiliated with the Boys and Girls Club of America and 4-H, submits a package to enter the program’s children into five individual categories, including character and leadership development, education and career development, the arts, sports, fitness and recreation, and health and wellness. Packets are submitted in the spring and then reviewed by a board of members who vote and select the award winners. The winners are, then, announced at the State Level Youth of the Year Competition. “It feels excellent,” said Shanda Allmond-Misse, Langley Youth Programs chief. “Seeing the team pull together and make changes and adapt

to new policies and turn around and win awards. It helped the staff see the job they were doing for the kids was amazing.” Youth Programs serve 120 kids enrolled into their three services. The center also provides summer and holiday camps. “The purpose of this center is for us to take care of children of active duty members, their families, contractors, and retirees,” said Allmond-Misse. “So [they] can focus on the mission.” The youth program offers three ser-
vices; youth, school-age, and sports programs, which include several activities and services for different age groups. “The [awards] gives us the idea we’re on the right track and inspires the staff to do more and give more to the program,” said Allmond-Misse. The youth program is open to children ages 6 to 18, offering open recreation time in the gym, video games, instructional classes, pool tables and the opportunity to relax. The school-aged program also provides care for children between 5 and 12 before and after school. “These [staff members] become the second parent during deployments,” said Allmond-Misse. “ We become the second parent during a divorce. We become the safety net when things are going on at home or things are going on at school. We are the third party the kids can come talk to.” The sports program offers children between the ages 5 and 18 an opportunity to participate in baseball, flag football, wrestling, cheerleading and many others depending on the season.

JBLE Legal Corner: Avoiding ‘bird-dogging’ Commentary by 2nd Lt. Cynthia McGrath 633RD AIR BASE WING LEGAL OFFICE
Scams aimed at taking advantage of U.S. military members are nothing new; however, one such scam, “bird-dogging,” has re-emerged as a threat to Service members’ financial security. Bird-dogging refers to the act of soliciting sales for a third party and is illegal both on and off base. One example occurs when a person serves as an unlicensed car broker who is paid to bring their friends into a dealership and per-
suade them to buy a car. The scam is often used in conjunction with other rip-offs. Consider the following real-world examples: (1) The drop-off: An acquaintance, friend or stranger offers a ride to a car dealer and then leaves the victim stranded. The seemingly concerned car dealership then pressures the stranded individual into buying a car to get home. (2) The lemon: Taking advantage of lack of knowledge and reliance on a recommendation, victims buy a defective car, or a car without applicable warran-
ty. (3) The yo-yo: The car dealer persuades a victim to sign a credit contract that they claim is final; however, the dealer later informs the target that the first transaction was canceled and either the car must be returned or a contract signed with worse terms. (4) Plain old fraud: A car dealer filling out loan documents submits quotes that do not match the car sold or interest rate offered. When the target receives the SEE BIRD-DOGGING PAGE 11

7th Trans. Bde. (Ex.) gains proďŹ ciency at C/JLOTS by Staff Reports 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Preparation The 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary), completed its annual Combined/Joint Logistics over the Shore exercise Aug. 6, 2015. During the mission, which began May 11, the 7th Transs Bde (Ex.) assigned the 10th Transportation Battalion as the task force in charge of terminal operations. U.S. Army Maj. Charles G. Fyffe said the battalion and the 7th Trans. Bde. (Ex.) prepared more than a year for the event and the long range execution plan for the command guided unit operations to several split-based locations across U.S. Army PaciďŹ c Command. “We began this year with a high-paced training plan focused on the successful execution of the C/JLOTS exercise in Korea scheduled and executed last month,â€? said Fyffe. The C/JLOTS ‘15 train-up began with a communication’s exercise and a tactical operations center exercise from Oct. 23-24, 2014. That exercise enhanced the unit’s ability to deploy and redeploy all
battalion headquarter elements and conduct watercraft and ground communication, in-transit visibility, staff operations, and enhanced tactical communications proďŹ ciency, said Fyffe. “The training improved staff reporting procedures, support tasks to units, and unit cohesion while also validating Battalion Communications Systems in accordance with Army standardsâ€? said Fyffe. “We adjusted our training to tailor it to the mission requirements based on the objectives of the operationâ€? From Dec. 8-12, 2014, the battallion expanded on training by conducting a ďŹ eld training exercise incorporating cargo transfer, seaport operations, in-transit visibility, land and sea convoy operations, motor transport, and staff operations all while executing an emergency deployment response exercise for a unit tasked for a defense chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear response force mission. According to Fyffe, communications training targeted developing a battle staff capable of effectively conducting

Upon completion of training, the units validated the proďŹ ciency and deployability of every platform and also identiďŹ ed shortfalls to correct before the validation C/JLOTS exercise that took place Feb. 23 through March 7, 2015 and ultimately validation for C/J LOTS ‘15 in Korea. Extensive planning and coordination allowed for 7th Trans. Brig. (Ex.) to successfully conduct a fully involved operation on Anzio Beach located at Fort Eustis, Virginia. During the exercise, the unit conducted terminal operations that validated the unit on in-stream modular causeway system construction, throughput operations, and LOTS command and control procedures. The successful build of an in-stream roll-on rolloff discharge facility and the in-stream build and stab of the Trident Pier were the key events of the exercise and set the stage for the execution of C/JLOTS ‘15 Korea.
Execution While executing C/JLOTS Korea 2015, the Brigade was attached to Expeditionary Strike Group Three, commanded by U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Daniel H. Fillion, who served as the Joint Task Force commander. “The Task Force beneďŹ ted greatly as it began to understand its mission and strategic importance of Army Watercraft to the success of the exercise,â€? said Fyffe. “This understanding, allowed unit planners to provide critical analysis and detailed planning that assisted Expeditionary Strike Group Three in operational planning as well as working with the III Marine Expeditionary Force to identify customer requirements for the exercise. Once operations commenced, the planners quickly assessed our capability and immediately adjusted the plan for vessel transport to maximize the throughput capability of the Task Force as well as increasing the training effect for the exercise.â€? During the operation, the JTF formulated detailed maritime tracking products and scheduling procedures in order to ensure constant support to the III Marine Expeditionary Force and the Republic of Korea by using four different vessel transport modes with various load sets to perform ship-to-shore delivery of more than 150 pieces of rolling stock for both countries. “The exercise also enabled the JTF to open new lines

of communication with outside agencies as well as combined and joint partners, leading to successful training missions with the U.S. Navy, U.S. Forces Korea, U.S. Marines, and the Republic of Korea Marine and Navy Forces,� said Fyffe. “This coordination created excellent training opportunities for Task Force Soldiers as well as 7th Trans. Brig. (Ex.) mariners.� The exercise also incorporated total force watercraft operations for Expeditionary Strike Group Three by integrating U.S. Army Reserve maritime partners including the 464th Transportation Company, 949th Floating Craft Company, 483rd Transportation Terminal Battalion, and the 651st Harbormaster Detachment as well as attached Army, Marine, Navy, and Coast Guard.

During the exercise, the JTF was able to validate its ability to execute command and control of assigned joint and combined forces. In addition, the JTF established and validated cargo throughput requirements for future missions. They also validated the United States Forces Korea’s ability to conduct C/JLOTS operations on the west coast of Korea employing a 1840 feet Trident Pier over 400 meter tidal ats with the assigned and available stocks for the ďŹ rst time. “Overall, the Operation was a total success and according to Fillion, ‘We have completed our mission here and have deterred aggression by demonstrating this strategic capability for the ďŹ rst time ever with our combined partners in Korea,’â€? said Fyffe.

With more than a decade of combined experience in leading U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, four former commanding generals traveled to TRADOC to discuss current initiatives and challenges facing the command. Gen. David G. Perkins, TRADOC’s commanding general, welcomed retired Gens. William R. Richardson, John W. Foss, William W. Hartzog and William S. Wallace to Fort Eustis, Virginia, for the Former TRADOC Commanders’ Forum July 30, 2015. Perkins began by thanking the commanders for their participation and noting not only the impact they had on TRADOC and the Army, but also the valued knowledge they continue to share with current TRADOC leaders. “It’s really amazing to sit there and actually hear how these things came about; you really do get the ground truth,” Perkins said, referring to initiatives like the School of Advanced Military Studies and Field Manual 100-5. Because of the wealth of historical knowledge in the room, Perkins emphasized the importance of learning from the commanders’ previous experiences. He added that although some challenges may seem new, they are very similar to challenges the former commanders have faced. “As we tackle some of these things – when you peel the onion back at the macro-level, it’s not that much of a new problem,” he said. “It may have a new characteristic … but it’s still about applying combat power.” Throughout the day, the former commanders asked questions, provided observations and offered input as TRADOC leaders provided updates on initiatives including Force 2025 and Beyond, Army University and Soldier 2020. The commanders also learned how the Asymmetric Warfare Group and Rapid Equipping Force continue to help the future force win in a complex world. Wallace, who commanded TRADOC from 2005 to 2008, said the event was very educational. “Thank you for capturing a signifi-
cant part of the TRADOC brain trust and locking them in the Morelli Auditorium,” Wallace said jokingly. “It was very useful, and very informative.” Richardson, TRADOC’s fourth commanding general, said he appreciated the wealth of experience in the command, and he was proud of all that TRADOC has accomplished. “It makes me very proud to know that I had a part of it years ago, and I mean just this little bit – compared to what you guys do today – and it’s fantastic,” said Richardson, who commanded TRADOC from 1983 to 1986.
“As we tackle some of these things – when you peel the onion back at the macro-level, it’s not that much of a new problem. “It may have a new characteristic … but it’s still about applying combat power.” — Gen. David G. Perkins TRADOC’s commanding general
“And not enough people, I think, really understand what you do for the Army – with respect to what goes on here, as far as concepts, requirements, training, education and all the rest. I’m very proud of you and your folks here, and I just want to thank all of you for being there.” As the forum came to a close, Perkins thanked the former commanders for their time and effort in continuing to shape the Army, calling them great examples of Soldiers for life. “Because you’re constantly involved – emotionally, intellectually and physically – with what the Army’s doing, you’re a great example – for those of us that continue to serve – that your service is never actually over,” Perkins said. “I hope you can see your fingerprints all over what’s going on – directly and indirectly – because you’re there, and they’re lasting.”

ACC commander releases new command strategy by ACC Public Affairs HEADQUARTERS AIR COMBAT COMMAND
Gen. Hawk Carlisle, commander of Air Combat Command released the ACC’s 2015 command strategy “Securing the High Ground” today. The principles the document outlines are designed to chart a deliberate course for ACC that will transform today’s Combat Air Force into the CAF of tomorrow. “This strategy outlines my priorities for ACC and provides a roadmap to ensure the Combat Air Force can provide unmatched air dominance for our Nation now and into the forseeable future,” said Carlisle. The strategy is based around Carlisle’s three priorities: ■ Provide for Today: Deliver the great-
est amount of combat capability to meet our national security objectives and win our nation’s wars. ■ Prepare for the Future: Balanced capabilities and capacity to meet the demands of a complex and uncertain world. ■ The Foundation of Airpower: Airmen and their families. “Our job is to provide the maximum amount of capability we can to the combatant commanders,” Carlisle said. “As the lead for five of the Air Force’s 12 core functions, we have to build the best Air Force we can now and in the future given the resources the American people provide us.” Carlisle noted that ensuring the Air Force’s capacity and capability to successfully meet those five functions--air superiority, global integrated ISR, glob-
Air Combat Command’s Strategic Plan 2015
al precision attack, personnel recovery, and command and control--would be a challenging undertaking in what has become a increasingly complex and uncertain environment. However, he add-
7
ed he was confident that the command’s Airmen were up to the task. “Our Airmen are our asymmetric advantage over any adversary that we may face,” he said. “We must make sure they’re resilient and have everything they need to face the unique challenges of military life, and set conditions that support joint force objectives and the national military strategy.” Within the strategy, Carlisle noted that despite having “more mission than we have people, time or money” he was confident in the command’s future and its enduring commitment to “protecting the foundation of airpower and securing the high ground for America.” “ACC has a proud heritage of meeting difficult challenges with success,” he wrote. “That will not change as we go forward.” A copy of the 2015 ACC Command Strategy is available for review and download at http://www.acc.af.mil/shared/ media/document/AFD-150810-026.pdf.

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
As most U.S. Air Force Airmen dispersed during lunchtime, a small group of female Airmen came together for an afternoon of empowerment and planning during the inaugural Women Warrior Luncheon at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, Aug. 12, 2015. The luncheon, hosted by 633rd Air Base Wing Chapel staff, facilitated communication between junior Airmen and seasoned leaders with the intent to support each other as military women. “Even though we’re all Airmen, women still are in the minority and it is sometimes difďŹ cult to ďŹ nd each other and ďŹ nd out that you have commonalities,â€? said Chap. (Lt. Col.) Christine Blice-Baum, 633rd ABW deputy wing chaplain. “There’s something about women linked together that offers encouragement and empowerment.â€? According to Blice-Baum, targeting junior-enlisted Airmen helps build the Wingman Concept and reinforces resiliency through relations for new Airmen. With issues like suicide and sexual assault affecting many military women, Blice-Baum said Women Warrior networking with the appropriate agencies will create safeties for women to help mitigate or lessen those types of occurrences. As for the expectations for the future of the group, Blice-Baum said she hopes the group takes on a charac-

BIRD-DOGGING FROM PAGE 2 loan paperwork from the bank, the dealer refuses to take the car back because it was already driven off the lot. (5) Covering up the dirt: A car dealer fails to disclose, or lies about, a vehicle’s mileage or prior history. (6) Bait and switch: The target responds to an ad for a specific car on precise credit terms and then the dealer claims not to have the car or the terms. This can also occur when a dealer advertises a specific trade-in price, then later claims to realize the value was overestimated and tries to reduce the offer. Under Virginia Code § 46.2-1537, it is illegal to engage in paid referral system without getting a license as a sales broker employed by a dealership. Additionally, under some circumstances, a Service member can be charged with Uniformed Code of Military Justice Article 92, which prohibits certain forms of solicitation, or with UCMJ Article 134, which violates good order and discipline. The following list is compiled of tips to assist in scam avoidance: Remain vigilant. Shopping at a big dealership does not mean someone is safe from scammers. If buying a used car, check the odometer against the listed mileage on the paperwork; watch out for a prior history of accidents; be wary of cars that have been sold multiple times by the same dealer; and consider using www.vehiclehistory.gov to look into a car’s history before buying. Do research. Research how similar products compare; how much others are selling the item for; and the reputation of the seller. Have a backup plan and call a command representative for help. Read and confirm everything. Call the bank before leaving the car lot to confirm all of the purchase information. If filling out paperwork, read the entire document. The document represents the complete agreement, so anything the dealer verbally agrees to must be included in the written contract. If something does not make sense then wait. Consult others for help or seek legal assistance on big transactions. Think twice before cosigning because if a friend is getting swindled or if the friend is the scammer, the victim could be left with the entire bill. If deciding to co-sign for someone, treat the transaction as your own. Report problems to chain of command, financial management or base legal office as soon as there is an issue. Seeking assistance from base officials could prevent the same scammer from taking advantage of someone else.

LAFBCommunity SOAR Commissioning Opportunity The Scholarships for Outstanding Airmen is a commander’s program to select top-flight enlisted members for commissioning. SOAR offers active-duty enlisted personnel the opportunity to earn a commission who can complete all bachelor degree and commissioning requirements in two to four years as an Air Force ROTC cadet. Selections are made at the MAJCOM level for most Airmen. The Langley Education Center will accept application packages until Aug. 31 at 1:30 p.m. As application packages must be to Air Combat Command by Sept. 1, no late packages will be accepted.

Red Cross needs blood donations Blood and platelet donations decline during the summer months, especially around holidays like Independence Day.
