Prepare for 2019 hurricane season By Airman 1st Class Sarah Dowe

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS

Hurricane season began June 1, and continues through November 30. The peak risk of hurricanes in the Hampton Roads area occurs late August through late October. The greatest threat from hurricanes is the flooding and flood surge that occurs in tidal areas. In order to better prepare, residents are encouraged to determine in which evacuation zone their home is located. “Zones are designated A through D,” said Daniel Wyrick, 633rd Civil Engineer Squadron emergency management specialist. “Zones provide residents with clarity on whether they should evacuate in an emergency or shelter at home, based on their physical street address and the nature of the emergency.” One of the best precautions people can take is creating a detailed plan, Wyrick said. “Develop a plan for where your family would relocate to,” said Wyrick. “Educate your family on your plan, and what should be in your emergency kit. Review your plan and your kit annually before hurricane season and ensure it’s ready.” Having renters insurance and/or flood insurance can help in the event of a hurricane, but people should keep in mind that most property insurance policies don’t cover flood losses. Pet owners need to look at their pet as a family member and know what their needs are. “Have a pet carrier, have a backup of any meds, and of course food and water,” said Wyrick. “Also, if you’re planning to relocate to a shelter, ensure it’s a pet-friendly shelter before you arrive to avoid stress on you and your pet.”

Plan and prepare

An emergency supply kit tailored to their specific needs, focusing on these areas: ■ Non-perishable food/water (1 gallon per person, per day, for at least 3 days) ■ Emergency communications (a copy of important phone numbers) ■ Medical needs, prescription medications ■ Critical documents, copies of insurance policies, bank account records, identification cards ■ Tools and safety items, can opener for food ■ Moist hygiene and sanitation towelettes, plastic bags for sanitation A go-bag for each family member should consist of personal items: ■ Clothing ■ Sturdy shoes ■ Rain/waterproof outer clothing and other items that complement your emergency supply kit Other important things to have in mind: ■ Keep your cars fuel tank full ■ Have cash on hand

OCPs roll out at JBLE-Langley By Tech. Sgt. Teresa Gallagher 633D AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS

The Military Clothing Sales facility at Langley Air Force Base will begin selling unisex and female-specific Operational Camouflage Pattern, or OCP, uniforms on August 5, 2019. “Airmen have a lot of pride in their professional appearance, and it’s exciting to get new uniforms. Changing what we wear every day is significant and can take some preparation,” said U.S. Air Force Col. Clinton Ross, 633rd Air Base Wing commander. “Service members have been anxiously awaiting their arrival here at Langley and we’re excited they’re finally here.” Due to high demand and limited supply, U.S. Air Force Airmen stationed at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, will

be authorized to purchase up to two sets of OCPs. Airmen must bring a printed copy of their orders with them to MCS which can be obtained online through the virtual Military Personnel Flight website. “Service members must show proof of service branch, grade, and orders as proof of authorization to purchase at Langley MCS,” said Amanda Hartfield, JBLE Army and Air Force Exchange Service general manager. “Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve personnel should utilize their normal unit uniform acquisition processes to obtain OCPs.” The MCS will have additional support and extended operating hours August 5-10. The MCS and alterations shop will have additional personnel available to assist with increased customer traffic, and provide guidance on proper wear of the uniform.

Launch Operating Hours August 5-9: 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. August 10: 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.

On-site boot representatives will be present to assist Airmen with boot sizing and selection as well. Hartfield also recommends personnel order nametapes early to ensure arrival before purchasing uniforms on August 5 as the order typically takes five to seven business days. Airmen are also encouraged to purchase flag, organization and higher headquarter command patches early to ensure they are prepared for duty. Airmen can also refer to AFI 36-2903, Dress and Appearance or visit the Dress and Appearance page on the AFPC website at www.afpc.af.mil/Career-Management/Dress-andAppearance, for detailed information on proper uniform wear and requirements.

Simulators prepare MDG for real-world scenarios By Airman 1st Class Alexandra Singer 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS

A patient lays on the ground bleeding, breaths getting weaker and heart rate dropping low. It’s up to medical personnel to stabilize them before it’s too late. Aaaaand CUT! The simulation is over and a briefing is given on what went right and wrong. Luckily the patient wasn’t human, but a simulator “dummy” used to prepare the 633rd Medical Group Airmen on real-world scenarios. “They blink, they breathe, even the baby simulators have motion, they cry, I can program it to talk,” said Raymond Jernigan, 633rd MDG simulator operator. “They can be programmed to have

physiological responses – I’ll set the vital signs.” The training with simulators usually begins with a pre-brief from Jernigan, going over how to use the simulators and what they can do. A lot of the simulators can be used as part of the certification training, such as the Laerdal SimNewB. These are the neonatal baby simulators that prepare the labor and delivery section on the neonatal resuscitation program (NRP). They can simulate breathing and be given vitals based on the specified training for which they are used. The 633rd MDG Education and Training office also uses the simulators regularly for training. “This allows us to do things that we couldn’t really do with humans,” said U.S.

Airman 1st Class Monique Wood, 633rd Medical Group medical technician (center) is briefed on what to expect during training with a Laerdal SimNewB simulator at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, July 10. The simulators can be used for a wide range of scenarios.

Air Force Tech. Sgt. Brandon Broadbent, 633rd Medical Operations Squadron NCOIC, Education and Training. “These really allow us to simulate injuries that we

couldn’t otherwise do, so that’s a significant advantage when you’re talking about prepping people for combat situations.” Based on the training, the

simulators can be programmed to have specific vital signs. Jernigan can set the heart rate, blood pressure, pulse, etc. According to the numbers set, the students will do what they need to in order to stabilize the patient. “They’re used to help bring realism to training. From my understanding, they used to have animal testing or people testing on each other,” Jernigan said. “This provides a body that you can use and get a reaction from in a less stressful environment. One thing about a simulator – you can’t kill it.” The simulators can be used for a wide range of scenarios. It can be something as simple as treating a bee sting to a mock code blue, meaning the patient is having cardiac issues. With the training on the simulators, Airmen can better prepare themselves for realworld scenarios involving trauma, illness or administering life-saving skills.

F-22 DEMO TEAM HEADS TO 'SUPER BOWL' OF AIR SHOWS By 2nd Lt Samuel Eckholm

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS

The F-22 Raptor Demonstration Team heads to Oshkosh, Wisconsin for the ‘Super Bowl’ of air shows, July 22-28, 2019. Attracting over 500,000 spectators from 80 different countries, while bringing in over 10,000 aircraft, EAA AirVenture holds the title as the largest air show in the world. Based out of Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, the F-22 Demo Team travels to 20 air shows each season to showcase the performance and capabilities of the world’s premier 5th-generation fighter aircraft. The Raptor was last seen at Oshkosh back in 2015 and will be making its return

as part of this year’s air show theme, ‘The Year of the Fighter.’ “We are all thrilled to be headed to Oshkosh and have been looking forward to the show for the entire season,” said U.S. Air Force Maj. Paul Lopez, F-22 Demo Team commander. “Getting to reconnect with many of the performers we’ve met at previous shows while being a part of this year’s fighter theme are what I am most looking forward to.” With origins dating back 60 years ago, AirVenture has evolved from a small gathering of aircraft and aviators into a grand, weeklong event known as ‘The World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration.’ U.S. Air Force Capt.

observer, grew up just 15 minutes from Oshkosh, and is looking forward to bringing his family out to see his team in action. “Looking back, I remember the excitement I felt as a kid while watching the air show and all of the planes fly in,” Resch said. “Fast forward to today, being able to fly the F-22 and be a part of a team that will bring the excitement to the kids in attendance

who were just like me, definitely makes it all worth it.” The F-22 Demo Team is nearing the midpoint of their season and has participated in shows ranging from California to Florida. While each show is unique and gives the team an opportunity to achieve its mission of recruiting, retaining and inspiring the next generation, Oshkosh will be unlike anything the

team has experienced thus far. “The blood, sweat and tears has caused this year’s demo season to blossom into something extraordinary,” said U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Emanuel Knowlton, F-22 Demo Team superintendent. “We are all stoked to participate alongside the other fantastic performers at the mecca of all air shows in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.”

Mid-Atlantic Honor Guard Academy draws cadets from every region in Civil Air Patrol By 1st Lt Rachael J. Mercer

MID-ATLANTIC HONOR GUARD ACADEMY JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS

Cadets and senior members of Civil Air Patrol gathered at Joint Base Langley-Eustis for the 2019 Mid-Atlantic Honor Guard Academy. The MAR Honor Guard Academy has been held in various locations since its inception in 2003, including Fort Pickett in Blackstone, Virginia, and the North Carolina Justice Academy in Salemburg, N.C. However, this year the move to Joint Base Langley-Eustis will allow cadets from every region in Civil Air Patrol to work with official United States Air Force Honor Guard Members. In addition, senior members who are part of the fairly new NonCommissioned Officer Corps of Civil Air Patrol are responsible in large part for the training

and for communicating the Academy’s emphasis on excellence throughout the week. Civil Air Patrol has eight regions, with at least one member representing each at this event. Civil Air Patrol has 52 wings which includes every state plus the National-Capitol Wing of Washington, D.C., and the Puerto Rico Wing. The Puerto Rico Wing, the National-Capitol Wing and 30 other state-based wings have cadets attending this weeklong Academy. The goal of this Academy is to train cadets to respectfully and properly perform the duties of a Color Guard or Honor Guard, including presenting the United States flag at ceremonies, folding the United States Flag at a memorial service, or properly placing a wreath during a ceremony. High emphasis is placed on

understanding honor, respecting oneself and one another, and working with an expectation of excellence at all times. In addition to the skills they acquired through practice and repetition, cadets left this Academy July 20 having made long-term friendships with cadets from all over the United States of America. Finally, cadets who graduate from this Academy have earned the right to wear the Honor Guard Academy patch on their Airman’s Battle Dress Uniform, and also a National Cadet Special Activities ribbon on their Blues Uniform. Cadets attending this event range from 12 to 20 years old. To apply to attend this Academy, cadets must have completed at least one Civil Air Patrol encampment plus receive the endorsement of their squadron commander and wing commander.

U.S. Air Force

Cadets from all eight regions of Civil Air Patrol, including 30 states, the National-Capitol Wing and the Puerto Rico Wing, attended the Mid-Atlantic Region’s Honor Guard Academy on Joint Base Langley-Eustis, July 14-20.

Civil Air Patrol, the longtime all-volunteer U.S. Air Force auxiliary, is the newest member of the Air Force’s Total Force. In this role, CAP operates a fleet of 560 aircraft, performs about 90 percent of continental U.S. inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and is credited by the AFRCC with saving an

average of 80 lives annually. CAP’s 60,000 members also perform homeland security, disaster relief and drug interdiction missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. In addition, CAP plays a leading role in aerospace/ STEM education, and its members serve as mentors to over 25,000 young people participating in CAP’s Cadet Programs.

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, NEV.

The F-22 Raptor is one of the U.S. Air Force’s fifth generation fighter aircraft, performing both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions allowing full realization of operational concepts vital to the 21st century fight. With the combination of sensor capability, integrated avionics, and advanced situational awareness technology, the F-22 Raptor airframe allows the pilot to track, identify, shoot and neutralize threats before being detected. “[The F-22] is basically a giant computer,” said U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. David Geller, 94th Aircraft Maintenance Unit integrated avionics craftsmen. “So honestly, think of us as the Geek Squad for the F-22.” If one of the computer components malfunctions, it is the job of the integrated avionics specialists to correct the issue and get the aircraft flying as soon as possible. “Without avionics specialists, we could not fly this aircraft,” said Senior Master Sgt. Brian Hunter, 94th AMU superintendent. “We need their specialty. They take care of everything from communication, radar and radar warning – everything the pilot needs to successfully accomplish the mission.” Due to the simulated deployed environment of Red Flag 19-3, the integrated avionics specialists must know how the aircraft reacts to a different environment. Whether it’s the high temperatures, the dry weather, the harsh sun or anything else that may affect the aircraft, the specialists have to adapt to the changes to keep the F-22 operational. “At the end of the day we ensure that every time our avionics specialists go out and respond to [an issue] that they are giving the most effective and timely fix so we can get that aircraft back into the fight,” Hunter said. If a problem occurs, the specialists first try to solve the problem on the flightline by speaking with the pilot about what the issue may be.

Serve your country, save lives By Lori Kullberg 3RD MRB

FORT KNOX, KEN.

Being passionate about America and those that protect its borders is what the U.S. Army looks for in health care professionals. Army Medicine provides sustained health services and state-of-the-art research in support of our readiness while caring for America’s Sons and Daughters. Helping others and being a leader in the healthcare field is the primary mission of the U.S. Army Medical Department (AMEDD) and a worthy choice for anyone driven by the desire to care for others at the same time as serving their country. The AMEDD is considered one of the largest healthcare systems in the world, employing over 138,000 personnel, operating more than 400 medical centers, clinics and research fa-

cilities globally. More than three million Soldiers, Family members, dependent survivors, retirees, Army Reservists and National Guard members utilize these Army facilities. There are six AMEDD officer branches (known as corps); Dental Corps, Medical Corps, Medical Service Corps, Specialist Corps, Nurse Corps, and Veterinary Corps. With over 90 areas of concentration to choose from, there are a wide range of opportunities and benefits for an Army medical professional. Maj. Steven Schauer, Emergency Medicine Physician with the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, states he got into medicine because of his passion for science. “Medicine is an applied science in taking care of people,” Schauer describes.

The Army provides a way to achieve academic goals without the stressors of debt or financial problems. The program supports students as they navigate through school and culminate with their residency. HPSP students hold the officer

rank of 2nd Lieutenant during school and are promoted to Captain upon graduation.
