A U.S. Service member has major plans for the upcoming Labor Day weekend. He has made the decision to drive to his destination immediately following a long work day, which included morning unit physical training. He assumes he will be alert enough to drive the six hours to his destination, but little does he know, fatigue will set in. According to the Air Force Safety Center, fatigue is the state of feeling very tired, weary or sleepy resulting from insufďŹ cient sleep, prolonged mental or physical work or extended periods of stress or anxiety. The National Highway TrafďŹ c Safety Administration estimates that possible causes of about 100,000 police reported road crashes each year are due to driver drowsiness and fatigue. Within the Air Force in 2013, 45 percent of reported mishaps indentiďŹ ed fatigue as a possible factor. According to the Administration, most drivers have experienced fatigue as the trance-like state caused by staring too long at the white lines in the center of the road. Road trance can result in slow perceptions, reaction times and can leave drivers unable to remember how they reached their destination. Because the symptoms of fatigue can vary in intensity, they are broken down into two categories: acute and chronic. Acute fatigue is a result of short periods of heavy physical or mental work as well as short-term sleep-loss. Effects of acute fatigue can be reversed by taking breaks and sleeping. Chronic fatigue is a constant protracted state of tiredness that cannot be

ďŹ xed by rest alone. A person with the disease will likely have u like symptoms that can last up to six months. Signs of fatigue can include: â– Falling asleep against your will or micro sleeps â– Irritability â– Depression â– Giddiness â– Loss of appetite â– Digestive problems â– Increased susceptibility to illness Those signs are signals that should trigger a fatigued individual to get some rest, because fatigue could be fatal. Contacting a personal primary care manager may be needed if rest does alleviate symptoms. If driving after a long day, try these tips to help make that drive possible: â– Bring snacks and water.

salty snacks, and consider packing fruits, which provide energy between meals. â– Avoid over-eating. Try light meals and regular intervals. Don’t drive on an empty stomach, but over-eating can increase fatigue. Stay hydrated while driving – water is the best choice. â– Don’t try to make long trips all at once. If possible try to limit driving to 12 hours per day, and budget time to stop and rest. Consider breaking your trip into sections with stops to sleep and recharge along the way. For more information about how to avoid becoming fatigued, contact the 633rd Air Base Wing Safety OfďŹ ce at 633ABW/SEGroundSafety@us.af.mil or to make an appointment contact the USAF Langley Hospital appointment line at 225-7630.

Hurricane Katrina Air Force Base, Virginia, made their way to Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi, to assist with recovery efforts. After the hurricane, the Hammer ACE team was instrumental to restoring communications, which lead to reopening the ight line for heavy transport aircraft to bring aid, supplies and more personnel. The Military Surface De-

ployment and Distribution Command at Fort Eustis, Virginia, also spearheaded U.S. Transportation Command efforts in the damaged areas. Additionaly, 5th Battalion, 159th Aviation Regiment Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopters were sent from Felker Army Air Field for search-and-rescue operations, remote aid drops and more.

Eustis experiences ‘day in the fast lane’ with NASCAR driver By Staff Sgt. Katie Gar Ward 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

U.S. Army Soldiers from the 128th Aviation Brigade and 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary), along with members of the Joint Base Langley-Eustis community experienced a day in the fast lane during a visit from NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick at Fort Eustis, Aug. 20. Harvick stopped at Fort Eustis to learn about the installation’s different missions, as well as to thank Soldiers for their service. His visit included tours of the 128th Avn. Bde., and 3rd Port, as well as stops at the 7th Trans. Bde. (Ex.) Resolute Dining Facility and the Fort Eustis Exchange. During his tour with B Company, 1st Battalion, 210th Avn. Regiment, 128th Avn. Bde., Harvick simulated flying an Apache helicopter using the Virtual Interactive Environment simulator, which mechanics use to solve problems pilots might experience during flight. “I was a little shocked at how advanced the technology is. It’s very similar to what we do from a simulation side, all the things we have available for our cars,” said Harvick. “To see the processes and the Soldiers going through them is something that is a bit more advanced than I expected, which is great to see.” For U.S. Army Pvt. Christian McCain, B Co., 1-210th Avn. Rgt., 128th Avn. Bde. Armament/Electrical/Avionic Systems Repair student, the tour allowed students to showcase their installation and maintenance capabilities, and was a great way to reinforce their training. “We’re in school for so long, it’s really

[impactful] to have people come and see what we do,” said McCain. “I felt honored and appreciated, because [Harvick] is famous, and for him to come and thank us for what we’re doing means a lot.” After touring the 128th Avn. Bde. and visiting with Soldiers and families at the Exchange, Harvick boarded the Landing Craft Utility 2001 “Runnymede” at 3rd Port. There, he spoke with Soldiers and received a tour and capabilities brief from Lt. Col. Kimberly Nash, 10th Trans. Bn., 7th Trans. Bde. (Ex) commander. “While on the vessel, [Harvick] told Soldiers when his grades weren’t good, his parents didn’t let him race, so it gave him a sense of purpose.,” said Nash. “Our Soldiers [also] come into the Army with a sense of purpose, a mission, and they are part of the team. I love the fact that Soldiers were able to speak with him and share stories, because it shows them anything is possible, and is also an opportunity for them to show their capabilities to people who don’t see it every day.” At the end of his visit, Harvick expressed an appreciation for the Soldiers and gratitude for being able to learn about the different missions they are involved in. “It was great learning about the facilities, the ships and Apaches, and seeing [what] it takes to make every different division [come together],” said Harvick. “Meeting the Soldiers and being able to hear where they’re from, hear their stories and talk about what they do [demonstrates] that in the end, it’s the people who make it all go around. The [Soldiers] are the ones who let us do what we do, who make those sacrifices, and we can’t thank them enough.” U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 John Willis, 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary) watercraft operations officer, speaks with Lt. Col. Kimberly Nash, 10th Trans. Bn., 7th Trans. Bde. (Ex) commander, and NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick during a visit to 3rd Port at Fort Eustis, Aug. 20.

Heisman Trophy Winner and mental health advocate Herschel Walker will visit Joint Base Langley-Eustis Sept. 16 and 17. Walker will deliver his message of facing mental health issues and seeking help. Outside of his extensive football career, Walker battled Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder. DID is characterized by two or more distinct personalities within the afflicted. It is rare and relatively unknown, so seeking help was an eyeopener for Walker, as he saw a lot of other people working on their mental health.

Because of his disorder, Herschel approached the Patriot Support Program, a military mental health advocate organization, to help U.S. Service members. From their partnership, the Patriot Support Anti-Stigma Campaign was born. As the spokesman, Walker travels from base-to-base sharing his story, encouraging members to seek help as he did. “People think you lose your masculinity and I’m here to say that you don’t – you’re not less of a person,” he said during a visit to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. “There is no shame in asking for help – I did.” Service members are encouraged to check here regularly, as Walker’s itinerary is subject to change leading up to his visit.

When a U.S. Service member deploys, family members may feel as though they lost their connection to people and activities on base. To combat this, Joint Base LangleyEustis provides programs and services for the families of deployed members so they remain involved in the military community. U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Dawn Chapman, 633rd Force Support Squadron Readiness noncommissioned officer, believes it is essential to keep in touch with deployed Service members’ families. “It is important to keep up with family members so they know they have a support system,” said Chapman. “The feeling of having someone to reach out to is much better than feeling alone.” To make sure the families do not feel alone, squadron personnel should reach out to families to check on them when their spouse, parent or loved one is deployed. Key Spouses play a role in communicating with families. The Airman and Family Readiness Center Readiness team also contacts the spouses via email if military members provide their information. Langley Air Force Base and Fort Eustis have a variety of classes and activities families of deployed Service members can partake in. For details about the following programs, call the Airman and Family Readiness Center at 764-3990 or 764-3994 and the Army Community Service at 878-3638. ■ Monthly deployed newsletter, a newsletter provided to families of deployed military members full of information and resources. ■ Monthly Hearts Apart events, for families of deployed members, or members on an unaccompanied short tour. ■ Give Parents a Break, five hours of free childcare for Active Duty Air Force families feeling stress due to deployments, remote assignments, temporary duty , caring for a child with special needs or an emergency situation. ■ Car Care Because We Care, a free oil change and inspection of the family vehicle for those gone more than 30 days at the Langley Auto Skills Hobby Shop. ■ Army Community Service programs, which assist deploying troops with a variety of services from information on play groups, coping with stress during the deployment

cycle, establishing family finances, and providing extensive resources to assist Service members and their families during the deployment cycle and reintegration. ■ The Fort Eustis Mobilization Deployment Program, which provides training/ briefings for all Service members and their families to prepare them with survival techniques and resources during the deployment cycle. ■ The Fort Eustis Mobilization Deployment Specialist program, which provides workshops for children of deploying Service members. Information and referral services, Career Focus programs, financial management classes, Air Force Aid, Relocation assistance, Exceptional Family Member assistance and volunteer resources are also available for families from the A & FRC and the ACS. Other agencies that have programs for deployed Service members’ families include: ■ School Liaison Offices, Langley - 2251885 and Fort Eustis - 878-3514 ■ Behavioral Health Flights, Langley 764-6840 and Fort Eustis - 314-7558 ■ Langley Health and Wellness Center, 764-6321 ■ Legal Offices, Langley - 764-3277 and Fort Eustis - 878-3031 ■ Chapels, Langley - 764-7876 and Fort Eustis - 878-1316, 1317, or 2202 ■ Military OneSource, http://www. militaryonesource.mil/ ■ Military Family Life Counselors 755-5511 Chapman encouraged families to participate in the activities and services provided for them. “Programs are there to help family members be able to sustain the household when the member is deployed,” Chapman added. “It is important for them to know that they have a support system in place at JBLE.”

What you need to know in the aftermath of a storm By Senior Airman Kayla Newman 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

As August comes to an end, the heart of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season begins. Three depressions and two hurricanes have occurred so far and U.S. Service members at Joint Base Langley-Eustis should continue to prepare to evacuate the local area if there is a severe storm threat. An evacuation will be ordered in the event of unusual or emergency circumstances, issued by the installation commander or other responsible authority. Once personnel assigned to JBLE are given the allclear to return, there are several things to be aware of when coming home after a mandatory evacuation. Depending on the severity of the storm, damage to homes and flooding in areas may have occurred. Ensuring the proper precautions are taken can help alleviate any added stressors. According to the American Red Cross, the following are important steps in the process of returning home from an evacuation: ■ If possible, keep children and pets away from hazards and floodwater. ■ Beware of rodents, snakes, insects and other animals that may be on the property. ■ Before entering a home, ensure there are no damaged power lines, gas lines, foundation cracks or oth-

er exterior damage. ■ If the scent of natural gas or propane or a hissing sound can be identified, immediately leave the area and contact the fire department. ■ If a home is flooded, assume it is contaminated with mold. Mold increases health risks for individuals with asthma, allergies and other breathing conditions. ■ Turn the main electrical power and water systems off until a professional can ensure that they are safe. ■ Check the ceiling and floor for signs of sagging. Water can become trapped in ceilings and floors may be unsafe to walk on. After ensuring home safety, checking on evacuation allowances and entitlements is another vital step post hurricane. According to the 633rd Comptroller Squadron entitlements briefing, evacuees should consider the following information: ❑ The use of the government travel card is authorized and mandated for authorized members. Dependents are not authorized use of the GTC. ❑ Military personnel without a GTC and dependents of deployed spouses are entitled to a cash advance. ❑ Evacuation orders will identify the minimum and maximum mileage of travel to be reimbursed. ❑ Travel that occurs prior to the evacuation autho-

rization will not be reimbursed. ❑ Lodging, meals and incidental rates are based on the location of evacuation. ❑ Service members will be reimbursed $0.56 per mile. ❑ For reimbursement, personnel must travel the Scan this QR code with minimum distance indi- a mobile device to view cated on the official or- hurricane evacuation ders. entitlement inform ❑ Once returning to ation provided by the JBLE, mass briefings will 633rd Comptroller be scheduled to fill out Squadron. travel vouchers. ❑ Bring all receipts for hotel, airline and any reimbursable expenses to the briefing. Joint Travel Regulations, volumes one and two, provide guidance for evacuation allowances and can be found at http://perdiem.hqda.pentagon.mil/ perdiem/. For more information regarding hurricane evacuations and your return visit, www.jble.af.mil/library/ hurricaneinformation/index.asp, or contact your Unit Deployment Manager or first sergeant.

CMSAF discusses the ‘way ahead’ for Airmen By Rich Lamance AIR FORCE NEWS SERVICE

The Air Force’s top enlisted leader focused on the future force, the new enlisted evaluation system and professional development during the Air Force Sergeants Association Professional Airmen’s Conference in Jacksonville, Florida, Aug. 19. Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James A. Cody addressed an audience of Airmen, former enlisted and retired NCO members of the association where he talked about the challenges of a smaller Air Force and the impact it is having and will have on its Airmen. Cody emphasized that today and tomorrow’s Air Force will be the smallest, most globally engaged force in its history and that programs such as evaluations, promotions and professional education will need to evolve as the Air Force as a service evolves. “If we’re going to develop leaders of the future, and ask them to do things that today we don’t even know have to be done, we have to evolve,” Cody said. Cody said he believes that Airmen develop along a path much like the structure of a pyramid. “If we’re going to develop Airmen of the future, it’s important not to just measure Airmen functionally, not to just make sure they are exquisite at their job. They have to have greater breadth and depth in a professional force like this. You have to think about the development of special duties and how it builds an Airman in a different way.” Cody said he believes the Air Force needs to look at how to manage Airmen as a human capital strategy, looking out for the needs of the Air Force, while continuing to purposefully nurture and grow its Airmen along the way. “When you have a smaller force, you have to make sure the Airmen have the skill sets needed,” Cody said. “Maybe 10 years ago, this idea that (Airmen) would have a lot more say in what (they) would be doing for our Air Force was reasonable. We had enough people to allow for it, we

had enough qualified people to do what we needed to do. “When you get smaller, you can’t do that. You can’t allow yourself to fall short because the minute you fall short you’re creating that hole for everyone to catch up. If we need you to do something as a staff sergeant, we need you to do something as a staff sergeant. So that when you’re a master sergeant you’ll have the skills to do what our Air Force needs you to do.” Cody said he believes that Airmen have to rethink about what their commitment to serve is about. “You can’t be solely functional. You can’t be so connected that when your Air Force asks you to do something else that you can’t be the most dedicated Airman and do what your nation expects.” Cody said that the enlisted evaluation system today, from an execution standpoint and from a human factor, cannot be executed. That is why changes will be critical. “For the first time, performance will count. Most of our Airmen are outstanding performers,” he said. “They exceed expectations. That doesn’t mean we’re going to promote all of them at the same time. That’s not possible. It never has been possible. They can be great performers but it’s just not quite their time. So that’s where we’re going. “We’re still going to promote the same number of people. This year there were 9,600 people selected for staff sergeant. If we had this new system in place, and we were getting ready to promote, guess how many people would get promoted – about 9,600. It would be the same amount of people it would just be a different group of people.

Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James A. Cody speaks to an audience of current, former and retired Airmen at the Air Force Sergeants Association Professional Airmen’s Conference in Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 19.

“This has to evolve. You’re the most educated, the most experienced, the most dedicated Airmen in the history of the world. We’re going to reevaluate the factors. We’re going to phase these things in to give Airmen time to adjust to it. We’re going to put performance first. You’ll know exactly what’s expected of you and if you don’t do it, you won’t progress.” Cody also said that moving forward, the education Airmen receive will be really important. “There’s been a study by the Department of Education, from kindergarten all the way through to PhD-level work, that says blended learning is the best way to learn. Use a mix of online with a mix of residence brings them a higher level of cognitive ability. We value both. We’ve already gotten there with the Senior NCO Academy.”

Cody said the feedback he has received has been that the course is difficult, but feels that if Airmen aren’t pushing themselves, they’re not improving. “We’re looking to take you to the next level as leaders. We’ve already started to adjust curriculum at the NCO academy. There will be every opportunity for Airmen to take the courses they need to meet their window of opportunity to promote.” But Cody made it clear that all Airmen have a role not only in their careers, but in helping the Air Force grow and evolve in the years ahead. “The future will be uncertain, and it will be Airmen just like you who will take us through that,” he said. “This has been the toughest time in my career, seeing Airmen who have done everything the Air Force has asked them to do, and we’ve had to look them in the eye and say ‘thank you but we’re unable to ask you to serve any longer.’ I wish it could be different, so do “If we’re going to develop Airmen of the future, it’s important not to the SecAF and chief of staff. just measure Airmen functionally, not to just make sure they are exqui“But at the end of the day, we’re here to site at their job.

Traditionally, the Taiwanese Army was compiled of a combination of draft and volunteer Soldiers.

to improve retainability. Before any of that could happen, the two forces had to learn to trust each other, said Jackson. “It is about respect, trust and kindness,� said Jackson. “Building a relationship takes work.� Once trust was built, the team was able to visit the Taiwanese Army on an annual basis. Every October, the Taiwanese delegation visits USARPAC to discuss and cement plans for the remaining years – they call it the Executive Steering Group. At the end of their visit, an agreement will be signed, said Jackson.

During annual visits to the Taiwanese Army, the USARPAC team spoke with many units to learn about their operations. Jackson noticed a lack of personnel equivalent to U.S. Army career counselors. Career counselors are used to help guide Soldiers throughout their career whether they want to make service a lifelong commitment or they want to separate once their contract is fulďŹ lled. The USARPAC team used their mobile retention training program to teach a few Soldiers from various units how to provide career counseling to other Soldiers. The team used this method of teaching because the Taiwanese Army had no way of sending their Soldiers to a school. “During the mobile retention training, Soldiers were taught who to council, what to council about, how to build and sustain a program, among other things,â€? said Jackson. “The focus was to learn how to retain a Soldier.â€? As a way of showing the trust built between the two forces, the Taiwanese Army named Jackson an honorary alumnus of their Army Academy. “I am very much humbled that I was trusted to take part in Taiwanese history,â€? said Jackson. “It was about giving my all; honesty, respect and loyalty.â€? Although her time with the USARPAC has ended as Jackson is now at Fort Eustis, she said she will continue to keep in touch with the Taiwanese Army and offer any assistance she can.

PAID ADVERTISEMENT O P E N L E T T E R T O O U R M I L I TA R Y C O M M U N I T Y There is no company that feels more passionately than USA Discounters about our nation’s service members and the sacrifices they make for our country. Recently, there has been some media coverage questioning our commitment. That media coverage is just plain wrong and we wanted you to hear the facts. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) examined every aspect of our company for a year. After that review, they raised a concern over a single issue - related to a $5 fee we charged service members as a condition of credit - a fee that was passed on to a third party company. USA Discounters made no profit and, in fact, lost money, in connection with the fees in question. We disagreed with the CFPB’s conclusion but realized our communications with customers about the fee could have been better. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. We agreed to return the $5 fee to our customers and pay a penalty of $50,000. We severed our relationship with the third-party vendor to which the fee was paid and eliminated the fee from all future transactions. Despite what you may have read, there was no allegation that USA Discounters “scammed” or “tricked” anyone. Language like that is painful for us to hear. It is untrue, unfair and unethical. Over the last few months we have begun making a number of other changes as well - on our own accord - simply because it is the right thing to do. These include: n Publishing a Customer Bill of Rights and “USA Way”- guidelines on how the company treats customers n Making available additional in-store materials to help customers better understand credit obligations, what they are agreeing to and how credit works n Further expanding the number of disclosures provided to customers to make every aspect of the transaction as clear as possible, including information about what happens in the event a customer defaults n Upgrading employee training and improving customer service operations And that’s just the beginning. Over the next few months we’ll be implementing a number of other initiatives - all of which are designed to ensure the relationship with our customers and their experience with us consistently exceed expectations. We are proud of the company’s 20 year plus history serving the military. If you’ve read anything about USA Discounters recently and have any questions about any details - large or small - please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us by emailing MilitarySupport@USADiscounters.net or calling 800-583-5515. We would be happy to talk to you about any aspect of our business. Thank you very much. Sincerely,

With the Joint Base Langley-Eustis summer safety campaign coming to a close, personnel have an opportunity to test all of the knowledge they have on the subject of summer safety. There is no exam and, no, there won’t be a basewide commander’s call on the subject. Instead, community members have an opportunity to enjoy the end-all of summer fun – Labor Day weekend. Whether playing, partying or prone under the sun, Labor Day weekend brings out more than 34.1 million travelling Americans, according to the Automobile Association of America. With so many people out and about, it is important to have a solid plan. During this time, JBLE community members should take all of the advice safety office personnel presented in order to plan accordingly and play safe. While there are nearly infinite opportunities available for fun, there are some common categories to be aware of during this Labor Day weekend.

JBLE members encouraged to help prevent credit card fraud By Airman 1st Class Areca T. Wilson 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

“Today is your lucky day! You have been chosen by the (name sweepstakes) to receive a free trip to the Bahamas. All we need is your credit card number and expiration date to verify you as the lucky winner.” According to the Federal Reserve, though credit card fraud only impacts a fraction of one percent of all purchases made with plastic, it represents one of the biggest concerns among consumers. U.S. Service members are not immune to this misfortune. Credit card fraud occurs when someone uses another person’s credit card to make purchases without their knowledge or consent. U.S. Air Force Capt. Katherine Edwards, 633rd Air Base Wing Legal Office assistant staff judge advocate, knows credit card fraud can be potentially devastating for those who are affected. “Along with stress and worry, credit card fraud can cause cash-flow problems,” she said. “It may affect the [victims’s] credit score, which may adversely affect the ability to rent an apartment, get a loan and eventually a security clearance.” Though it may not be possible to completely avoid this type of fraud, Edwards gave some suggestions to help Service members remain vigilant. “Use your debit card as a credit card [because] it does not require entering a pin,” said Edwards. “Check credit card bills every month for unauthorized use, or more often online or on your phone. These steps do not necessarily prevent fraud but they will help you to catch it quicker.” The following steps were provided by the Office of the Attorney General Victim Notification Program to help lower Service members’ chances of falling victim to credit card fraud: ■ Destroy records with personal information. Tear up or shred credit card statements, documents with personally identifiable information. ■ Secure mail. Empty mailboxes quickly and lock them or obtain a post office box. ■ Monitor credit report. Everyone is entitled to a free annual credit report from each of the three reporting agencies: Experian, TransUnion and Equifax. Visit AnnualCreditReport.com, the official site sponsored by the three reporting agencies, to request a credit report and review it for discrepancies. Also

monitor for unauthorized credit checks. ■ Reduce the number of credit cards actively used to a bare minimum. Carry only one or two cards around and cancel all unused accounts. Although they are not used, their account numbers are recorded in your credit report, which can be used by identity thieves. ■ Never give credit card numbers or other personal information over the telephone unless you have a trusted business relationship with the company and you have initiated the call. Identity thieves have been known to call their victims with a fake story. While following the preceding steps can help lower the chances of being a victim of credit card fraud, they do not ensure immunity. If credit card fraud does become an issue, Edwards advises Service members not waste any time. “Contact your credit card company immediately, file a police report and follow procedures for disputes by credit card companies,” said Edwards. “If the dispute is unsuccessful, visit the 633rd Air Base Wing Legal Office for assistance. For assistance, Service members, their dependents and retirees can make an appointment with any legal assistance attorney at the 633rd ABW Legal Office. Legal assistance is by appointment only Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Walk-ins from active duty Service members only are accepted on Friday. The Langley Air Force Base Law Center can be contacted at 764-3277 and the Fort Eustis Law Center can be contacted at 878-3031.

There’s a growing disconnect between Americans and their Army. A 2011 Pew Research Center survey found that only 57 percent of civilian respondents, ages 30 to 49, said they had an immediate family member who served. The percentage dropped to one-third, among respondents ages 18 to 29. While a draft would produce a new generation of veterans from across the socioeconomic spectrum, lawmakers and the military itself are generally not advocating that, for a number of good reasons, including cost and a possible increase in disciplinary problems, similar to those seen during the Vietnam era. I saw this negative consequence first-hand from draftees, after enlisting in the Marine Corps, in 1974, just a year after the All-Volunteer Force was only beginning to gain momentum. However, there are a number of steps that can be taken to at least reacquaint Americans with their Army. In July 2014, about 100 captains from across the Army met at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, with the Army chief of staff to discuss, among many other things, the need to reacquaint Americans with their Army. They brainstormed a number of ideas, including visiting radio and TV stations to do public service announcements, particularly around the time of the Army birthday each June. The PSAs could focus on why the Army is great, why they’re proud to be a part of it and so on. Radio and TV stations are usually receptive to PSAs. There’s almost always someone at the station who will be glad to assist, usually the person with a military background, or someone who has a military family member. I have first-hand experience making hundreds of PSAs in the 1980s for the Marine Corps, so that’s how I know. At that meeting with the captains, known as Solarium 2014, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno said: “One of the problems the Army has is that it doesn’t talk a lot about itself and what we’ve accomplished. We

should be proud of who we are and what we’ve accomplished.” Besides doing public service announcements, Odierno suggested going to universities, Rotary clubs and other venues, and simply sitting down and talking “about who we are. People have misperceptions about what the Army is all about and misperceptions even about us as individuals.” The problem going to universities, or high schools for that matter, is that educators often have negative views about the military. In the case of high schools, success is usually measured by the percentage of graduates who go on to college, not those who enlist. One approach would be to first introduce yourself and tell them you’re not a recruiter. I taught high school and at the university for a while, and I know that teachers and professors often like to have guest visitors. For instance, I used to invite local business leaders to speak in my economics class. History teachers might like a visit from a Soldier who helped make history in Iraq or Afghanistan. English teachers might too for that matter. The shop teacher might like to get a visit by a Soldier who fixes trucks or tanks or welds. And so on. Besides the Rotary clubs, there are literally thousands of non-profit organizations that are desperately look-

ing for guest speakers during their monthly meetings. The bonus for the Soldiers is that these volunteer activities always shine on resumes and a free meal is often thrown in as well. Best of all, though, is the good feeling you’ll experience. Soldiers on active duty, as well as National Guard or Army Reserve, could benefit. Those who separated or retired could be goodwill ambassadors for the Army as well. Many Soldiers are humble about their experiences in the Army, especially during wartime. So perhaps some practice with friends or family would help in opening up. People are genuinely interested in hearing from Soldiers. I constantly hear Soldiers and other uniformed personnel getting “thank you for your service” greetings from civilians over the last 13 years – something I rarely recall before that time. Soldiers can talk about anything they like: travels to other countries, jobs, wartime experiences, camaraderie. An excellent topic would be the Army Profession, which is commitment, character and competence based on values and trust – something the sergeant major of the Army talks about passionately all the time and probably will keep talking about after he retires.

Fort Eustis hosts ceremony for Women’s Equality Day By Staff Sgt. Teresa J.C. Aber 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary) hosted a Women’s Equality Day ceremony at Fort Eustis, Aug. 22. Women’s Equality Day is celebrated on Aug. 26, and this year marked the 94th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which granted women the right to vote. The event focused on how U.S. Service members, both male and female, can learn from women’s sacrifices. The ceremony featured a poem reading, biographies of women in history, a reading of the Women’s Equality Day presidential proclamation and a speech by guest speaker, U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Tammy Smith, Army Reserve deputy chief of staff. During the ceremony, Lt. Col. Kimberly Nash, 10th Transportation Battalion, 7th Trans. Brigade (Expeditionary) commander, expressed her belief that Soldiers must never forget the lessons of history. “We should look toward our ancestors; those proud and great women who risked their families, their reputations and their very lives to create America,” said Nash. “Then we must look to our future – a future created by you strong men and women who gathered to celebrate the strides made in the past for women’s equality [and] continue that pursuit of equality for the future.” Members of the 7th Trans.

“We should look toward our ancestors; those proud and great women who risked their families, their reputations and their very lives to create America.

SOME HONORS AREN’T WORN

ON YOUR CHEST

— Lt. Col. Kimberly Nash 10th Transportation Battalion, 7th Trans. Brigade (Expeditionary) commander of Representatives to run for the Democratic presidential nomination. Smith believes servicewomen sometimes take the “American Dream” for granted. “It’s hard for us to imagine there was ever a time when women couldn’t vote or serve in the Armed Forces,” said Smith. “We have to honor the women who fought for us to have the same rights as men – the women who paved the way for us to serve in leadership positions in and out of the military.” Women now serve in every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces with the highest percentages serving in the Army and the Air Force. Events like the Women’s Equality Day ceremony shed light on important moments in history, while encouraging both men and women to strive for excellence.

Nominations are being accepted and reviewed for inclusion in Portraits in Courage, Vol. IX, now through Oct. 13. “For seven years now Portraits in Courage has told Airmen’s stories of courage, valor and heroism,” said Lt. Col. Paul Baldwin, the Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs Engagement Division deputy. “Airmen perform incredible feats every day and their stories exemplify our warrior ethos. This is an excellent way to share them.” Air Force officials said packages should focus on leadership, valor, courage, exemplary performance and commitment, or service above self in either a combat, combat support role or extraordinary event outside the normal call of duty. Submissions should highlight the nominees’ accomplishments during the previous two years and appeal to an audience of Airmen, their families and civilians.

The 300-500 word pieces, officials added, should be in narrative format and not only shed light on the Airman’s career field, but relate a compelling story that reinforces the service’s core values, culture and the Airman’s Creed. Packages must include the nominees’ biography, SURF, nomination form and three supporting high-resolution digital photos (no less than 300 pixels per inch), featuring the Airman in action and donned in his or her Airman battle uniform, flight-duty uniform or equivalent tactical uniform. Individuals wishing to submit a story should contact their base public affairs office and submit their nomination packages to their respective major command, two-letter or direct reporting unit, who can each send up to five packages. Questions regarding submissions can be emailed to usaf.pentagon.safpa.mbx.portraits-in-courage@mail.mil. To view previous editions of Portraits in Courage, visit http://static. dma.mil/usaf/courage/.

The following is an example of a narrative submission: “Veronica [Cox] is an intel Airman. She was acting as an intel analyst when the earthquake devastated Japan and all the aftermath that came. Because she spoke fluent Japanese, she volunteered to help any way she could. So one night, sitting on a Pave Hawk helicopter doing damage assessment and intel collection from that helicopter they flew over an area of the local landscape where she saw a bunch of rocks arranged on the ground in the low light that looked like Japanese characters. So she asked the pilot to descend. She saw that no kidding, it was a sign calling for help. She directed him to go lower, and they found 200 isolated civilians. She hoisted down to the roof of the building they were in and when her feet hit the top of the roof she yelled in Japanese, “We’re the U.S. Air Force and we’re here to help.” …What an incredible story. She helped save 200 lives that night. And on nine more combat search and rescue missions she saved a lot more.” – General Welsh, CSAF

Soldiers are urged to take advantage of free financial counseling available at all installations, to help avoid the pitfalls that could put them under a mountain of debt.

ARMY NEWS SERVICE

“Need money fast? Need a new car? No problem! Instant approval for members of the military!” While advertisements for immediate cash and merchandise are appealing, service members can land in hot water if they are not careful. Soldiers, especially junior-enlisted members, are targets for high-interest car loans, or payday loans with exorbitant rates, said Maj. Emma Parsons, Department of the Army banking officer. “There are a lot of predatory lenders out there,” she said. Soldiers should proceed with caution, she said, noting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says a small-dollar payday loan could equate to an annual percentage rate of nearly 400 percent. Unaffordable debt coupled with service charges and late fees can quickly spin out of control, putting unsuspecting service members under a mountain of debt, she said. That is why it is so important for Sol-

diers to have a plan for their money. Part of the mandatory services that onpost financial institutions provide are counseling and education partnered with Army-trained personal financial managers, Parsons said. Trained financial counselors are present on every installation, she said. Soldiers are urged to meet with a counselor and utilize

these free services, to help avoid the pitfalls that would put them in financial straits. Talking to the financial expert can put the situation in perspective and help the service member navigate away from avoidable problems such as spending beyond one’s means and signing on to a quick loan loaded with fees and a high interest rate, she said.

While emergencies do arise, counseling can guide a service member on how to manage money and what are the best options when those situations do occur, she said.

Financial readiness Falling into debt impacts readiness and morale, and directly affects the work performance of the Soldier, Parsons said. Soldiers who become delinquent on their debts could have their wages garnished, and risk losing a promotion or a high-level security clearance. For the most junior Soldiers, this might be the first time they are receiving a paycheck, said Maj. Helen Thomas, the banking liaison officer at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. It’s important they spend wisely and not fall into the trap for quick money or gleaming new merchandise they don’t need and can’t afford. “I see it all the time. Young Soldiers come to us for counseling after they’re in a financial bind; we want to help them before the problem happens,” she said. “Let’s catch them before they make those decisions,” she said.
