Editor’s Note: Some last names have been withheld for security purposes. Approximately 500 U.S. Air Force Airmen and families of the 1st and 192nd Fighter Wings celebrated the wings being reunited after a year’s worth of combat missions, Nov. 6, at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia. The celebration served as a way to show Airmen and their families how much the wings appreciated their personal sacrifices over the past year, said Col. Peter Fesler, 1st FW commander. “We can’t go anywhere if our families don’t have a ... support structure while we’re gone,” said Fesler. “Building that community, involving them in this and thanking them for the effort they’ve put into this over the ... last 18 months of nearly continuous deployments is important to us.” During those 18 months, approximately 1,000 members of the 1st and 192nd FWs were assigned to United States Central Command as a part of a theater security package, providing support and stability to southwest Asia. Technical Sergeant James, 1st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron weapons expediter, explained how this event truly showed him how much his leadership cared for him and his family. “I’ve deployed before and my family has fallen off the radar while I was gone and I was initially [worried] that this would be a repeat,” said James. “I was pleasantly surprised that [this time] I really didn’t have to worry about anything
as far as my wife and kids being taken care of.” James’ wife expressed similar sentiments, explaining her gratitude for the support she and her family received during the deployment. “[Leadership and spouses] checked on us all the time; it was wonderful,” said Mrs. James. “We felt like we were a family and that even though my husband was gone, we weren’t left to ourselves.” In addition to showing appreciation for family support, the event also allowed Service members to reconnect with some of their deployed colleagues, giving them a chance to reflect on their experiences. Captain Daniel, 94th Fighter Squadron pilot, said that staying focused and building camaraderie was essential to completing the wings’ mission. “While deployed, you’re working with your brothers and sisters,” said Capt. Daniel. “You see everyone every day, and learning more about them personally and professionally makes us even more like a family.” Amidst the countless training exercises, high operations tempo and deployments, Fesler said the redeployers successfully executed their mission, and have made their home station very proud. Much of that success rested on the notion of their families serving as the team’s backbone, he said. “Thank you for what you do for the wings here...what you’re doing for the Air Force, and most importantly, thank you for what you’re doing for your country,” said Fesler. “I’m truly proud of you. U.S. Service members and families of the 1st and 192nd Fighter Wings play with petting zoo animals during the wings’ homecoming celebration at Langley Air Force Base, Va., Nov. 6, 2015.The celebration allowed Service members and families from the 1st and 192nd FWs to reunite after a year’s worth of combat missions.

-%/( FRPPXQLW\ PHPEHUV FOLS WKHLU ZD\ WR VDYLQJV Calandria Tucker, Airman and Family Readiness Center community readiness consultant, looks at a receipt at a couponing class at Langley Air Force Base, Va., Nov. 6, 2015. A Langley patron was able to save 95 percent of their bill while using coupons during grocery shopping.
by Alisa Deuermeyer 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Imagine filling up a grocery cart but only paying a fraction of the amount at the checkout. That’s what a number of U.S. Air Force Airmen and spouses learned to do at the “Extreme Couponing” class at the Airman and Family Readiness Center at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, Nov. 6, 2015. Couponing has become increasingly popular as more people are looking for ways to save money. During the class, participants learned the tricks and tools required to stretch grocery store dollars. Sharon Rector, Army Community Service community readiness consultant, has taught the class at Fort Eustis for the past two years, before sharing her knowledge with Langley Airmen and spouses. “Shoppers think because they have a coupon, they have to buy it. They don’t,” said Rector. “If it’s something no one in the house eats, don’t buy it.” Rector added that it’s all about shopping smartly and staying organized. Airman 1st Class Kianna Rivera, class participant, already “coupons” but took the class to learn how to be a “varsity player”. Rector defines a “varsity player” as someone who saves 51-100 percent on a grocery bill. To become more advanced at couponing, Rector provided the class with a few organization tips: Q Use a binder, dividers, and plastic baseball card holders. Q Arrange coupons according to categories such as frozen foods, canned goods and baby products. Q Download your grocery store’s layout and organize the coupons by each aisle. Getting organized, as well as the monotony of cutting coupons, are two challenges Senior Master Sgt.

Brian Hinson, class participant, said he faces. “That’s going to be the biggest hurdle to overcome,” he said. “I don’t really have the patience for it, to sit down and do all that couponing and cutting stuff out.” Rector offered advice to the participants to beat the coupon-clipping boredom. Suggesting shoppers stack coupon pages to cut multiple coupons at once instead of one at a time. Also, when watching television, cut coupons during commercials, or make it a family event and have kids or a spouse help. “Tell them every penny we save, we’re going to take this money and go on a trip or we’re going to buy something special for the family,” Rector said. “Get them involved, get them part of the team. It makes it so much easier.” While healthier foods tend to cost more, Rector suggested asking people who work in the meat or produce departments if they have any coupons or deals. With the holidays around the corner, many people are looking to make every dollar count. Here are some money-saving tips Rector shared with the class: Q Make a grocery list. Q Plan meals ahead of time and
try to match up coupons accordingly. Q Look for hidden coupons, including inside boxes or ones that can be combined when purchasing another item. Q Coupons can be used six months after the expiration date. Q Out of state newspapers often have coupons that are better values - ask friends and family to send coupon inserts. Q Download coupons from a number of websites like couponmom.com or afrugalchick.com. Q Check out the “Coupon Corner” inside the ACS building at Fort Eustis for pre-cut coupons. Rector also recommends stocking up on items frequently used during certain times of the year. “Everything that’s associated with Thanksgiving, you’re going to see a lot of sales on that. In the summertime, it’s like hot dogs, drinks, and all that.” In addition to gaining new knowledge, class participants were also given coupon organizers to help get them started. The next couponing class will be at Fort Eustis on Nov. 17, from 5-7 p.m. in the ACS conference room, call 878-3638 to reserve your seat. Contact the A&FRC at 764-3990 for future couponing classes at Langley.

HOHENFELS, Germany (Nov. 9, 2015) -- Although World War I ofďŹ cially ended, June 28, 1919, the ďŹ ghting had stopped several months earlier, â€œâ€Śwhen an armistice‌between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the 11th hour of the eleventh day of the 11th month.â€? President Woodrow Wilson originally declared Nov. 11 as Armistice Day. According to the Veterans Administration, through legislation, passed 61 years ago on June 1, 1954, Nov. 11 became Veterans Day - a day to honor American veterans of all wars. Many of our nation’s veterans have become seasoned warriors over time, some with multiple deployments under their belts; many who have made the military their way of life. America’s military is a strong and ready ďŹ ghting force. Every branch is more integrated than ever be-
fore with strong and diverse talents and capabilities. “Joint forceâ€? has become a common phrase as the military continues to work seamlessly together as comrades in every branch. “The greatest thing about the Army is the camaraderie,â€? said Spc. Judy Mera Rosa, an unmanned aerial vehicle operator, and self-described “military bratâ€? with 10th Engineers Brigade, Headquarters and Headquarters Company. “Camaraderie is what it’s all about, because if you don’t have it; it is just another 9-5.â€? Although her father is a retired Army major, Rosa made the decision to join on her own. “My father deďŹ nitely talked me through it. He shared what he knows and gave me whatever advice he saw ďŹ t,â€? Rosa said. “The Army has helped me grow as a person. I like the structure. The Army gave me some direction and purpose. I have learned more about who I can be for other people, rather than just who I am for myself.â€?

Some have a legacy of service in their Family. Still others bravely blaze a new trail and join the military seeking an opportunity to test themselves and improve their lives. Sgt. Charles Roseboro, a combat engineer with 10th Engineers Brigade, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, from Charlotte, North Carolina, is the ďŹ rst in his Family to ever serve in the military. As one of six siblings, Roseboro wanted to set a good example for his younger siblings. “One of the biggest reasons why I joined the military is because I just felt like I was stuck in time. Sometimes you need to be taken out of your element to actually work on yourself,â€? Roseboro said. “By serving in the Army, my Family can see me doing something a little different than the norm. It’s good for my brothers and sisters to see. There are six of us; we range in age from 14 to 25.â€? The signiďŹ cance of Veterans Day was clear to this young Soldier. “Veteran’s Day is a day that we can sit back and think of the people who have gone overseas, and fought wars for many decades for our country, and in some cases died - much thanks to those
before me,â€? Roseboro said. Becoming a better man for his Family and country is important. “I’ve learned a lot about different cultures, and how people live, and how people value certain things in life,â€? Roseboro said. “When I was in Afghanistan, I would always see this guy at 7:30 in the morning, herding his sheep from one ďŹ eld to another to keep them healthy and give them exercise. I felt like that was something so good, but also so disciplined, because he did it at the same time every morning. I noticed the dedication that he had for his family. I am a different person since I joined the Army; 360 turnaround. I have started a college degree, and I have become more professional.â€? Along with military beneďŹ ts and the potential of personal and professional growth come sacriďŹ ces that most Americans will never experience. President Barack Obama spoke of the sacriďŹ ces of our Veterans and their families in his 2015 Veterans Day Proclamation. “On Veterans Day, we reect on the immeasurable burdens borne by so few

VETERANS DAY FROM PAGE 10 in the name of so many, and we rededicate ourselves to supporting those who have worn America’s uniform and the Families who stand alongside them.â€? Rosa’s husband is also a Soldier, but stationed elsewhere. “Most deďŹ nitely, being away from my husband is my biggest sacriďŹ ce,â€? Rosa said. “We joined the Army together. We’ve been apart for basic training, advanced individual training, and then the last two rotations. We are getting through it - but I miss him, and I want to be in the same room with him.â€? Most Soldiers ďŹ nd their own means of coping with the necessary sacriďŹ ces. Roseboro stays focused on his mission, and big picture outcomes. “The greatest sacriďŹ ces I make being in the military are being away from my 9-month-old son and being away from my Family,â€? Roseboro said. “What kind of evens me out is knowing that right now I am in a state of bettering myself. At a certain point, when it is time for me to hang up my uniform, I have done the best I can to provide for my Family and show them a better route in life.â€? Roseboro touted the beneďŹ ts of military service and encouraged other young men and women to follow his lead. “I would tell any young woman or
• The Peninsula Warrior - Army
young man considering joining the Army - do it,â€? Roseboro said. “Go get a college education. There are so many beneďŹ ts that come with the military; go travel the world. You don’t have to do 20 years, you can just do one contract. There are so many beneďŹ ts as far as the G.I. Bill. You will always be a Soldier. So, once you get out and you’re looking for a job as a civilian, you’ll network with those battle buddies and they can help you out.â€? The president’s proclamation highlighted the importance of caring for our veterans as they return home. “Our true strength as a nation is measured by how we take care of our veterans when they return home,â€? said Obama in his proclamation, which also focused on understanding and supporting our nation’s veterans. “Our veterans left everything they knew and loved and served with exemplary dedication and courage so we could all know a safer America and a more just world. They have been tested in ways the rest of us may never fully understand, and it is our duty to fulďŹ ll our sacred obligation to our veterans and their Families. On Veterans Day, and every day, let us show them the extraordinary gratitude they so rightly deserve, and let us recommit to pledging our full support for them in all they do.

Red Cross needs blood donations Blood and platelet donations decline during the summer months, especially around holidays like Independence Day. Holiday travel causes many donors to be less available to give and many hosting organizations postpone blood drives while people are on vacation. In fact, more than 40 percent of blood and platelet donors indicated plans to travel this Independence Day holiday and these factors often contribute to seasonal blood shortages.
