You’re having trouble sleeping during the work week and a friend is concerned about your performance. “I have something that might help,” he says. He hands you a small pill to take that night and you take it before bed; instantly falling sound asleep. You awake the next morning, feeling refreshed and well-rested. The feeling is exactly what you needed, so you take a pill the next night. After keeping this routine for several nights, you realize you could get used to the feeling. Unknowingly, this is the start of an abuse problem, and possibly the end of your career. Prescription drug abuse is the use of a medication in a way not intended by the prescribing doctor. PDA or problematic use includes everything from taking a friend’s prescription painkiller for your backache, to snorting or injecting ground-up pills to get high. Although records show that prescription drug abuse on Joint Base LangleyEustis have gone down tremendously over the years due to awareness campaigns, in September 2012, the Institute of Medicine released a report to the members of Congress with findings stating the number of active-duty Service members who misused prescription drugs rose from 2 percent in 2002 to 11 percent in 2008. These findings show prescription drug abuse is still an on-going issue among Service members. “Anyone can develop a tolerance and
Heritage Spotlight Benjamin D. Foulois was a United States Army general who learned to fly the first military planes purchased from the Wright Brothers. Before his passing at the age of 87 on April 25, 1967, he led strategic development of the Air Force in the United States. He became the first military aviator as an airship pilot and achieved numerous other military aviation “firsts,” including first military observer on a cross-country flight with Orville Wright; first military man to teach himself to fly; one of two Americans to first use a plane

dependence on alcohol,” said Capt. Anita Yates, head of the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment program at Langley. “The same is true for prescription medications.” In a study held in the United States by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2009, 52 million citizens ages 12 and up had used prescription medications non-medically, and seven million did so routinely. “Using controlled prescription drugs that have not been prescribed to you, or using drugs prescribed to you that have expired could be a punishable of-

fense,” said Capt. Jon Calandruccio, 633rd Air Base Wing Judge Advocate Office attorney. According to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, any person who wrongfully uses, possesses, manufactures, distributes or imports illegal drugs into an installation, vessel, vehicle, or aircraft used by or under control of the armed forces shall be punished as a court-martial. “Using prescription drugs over the prescribed amount, or for any other purpose rather than what they have been prescribed for is also punishable by UCMJ action. It is comparable to using street drugs,” said Calandruccio. This may ultimately lead to a military discharge, and, consequently, trouble with obtaining civilian employment later. “Ignoring the problem will make it worse,” said Yates. “Instead, encourage people to talk with a physician or to contact ADAPT for assistance.”
Benjamin D. Foulois in combat; and the first chief of staff of the U.S. Army Air Corps to be a military aviator. Foulois’ first aviation assignment was to the Aeronautical Division, U.S. Signal Corps, where he operated the first dirigible balloon of the U.S. Government. The crash of the Wright Military Flyer, procured at the same time by the Army on its final test flight, September 17, 1908, claimed the first U.S. military airplane fatality, 1st Lt. Thomas E. Selfridge, and also injured Orville Wright. The Wright brothers spent 10 months fol-
lowing the fatal crash making engineering improvements to the airplane. By July 1909, Orville was ready to complete the acceptance test for the Signal Corps. On July 30, 1909, Foulois’ first flight in an airplane was the evaluation test flight from Fort Myer to Alexandria, Va. Pilot Orville Wright and Navigator Foulois broke previous speed, altitude and cross-country duration records, flying 42.5 mph at 400 feet for 10 miles. The Army purchased this Wright Model A Military Flyer, which became “Signal Corps No. 1.”

Free skin care and pampering services. Free massages. Free wine tasting. What do these things have in common, other than being free? These services are provided by the more than 85 different vendors and non-profit agencies that will be participating in the 633rd Force Support Squadron’s seventh annual “Evening Under the Stars” free joint military spouse appreciation event, where military spouses from all services can enjoy an evening of pampering, relaxation and socializing. “The overall concept is just a thank you to the spouses,” said Master Sgt. Dawn Chapman, 633rd FSS readiness noncommissioned officer. “As military members, we get awards and decorations, but our spouses do not. This is just a way for us to say ‘Thank you for what you do, and thank you to your family for their sacrifices.’” Military Spouse Appreciation Day, which falls on the Friday before Mother’s Day annually, is a way to give back and celebrate the strength of military spouses nationwide. In honoring this holiday, the 633rd FSS hosts “Evening Under the Stars” in the month of May. This year, the event is from 5 to 8 p.m. May 30 inside the Hampton Roads Convention Center, and is open to all military spouses

with a Department of Defense-issued identification card. This includes Guard, reserve and dual-military spouses, as well as spouses of retired Service members. Chapman said the event not only pro-
vides spouses with a social atmosphere, it also serves as a networking opportunity. “It provides an avenue [for spouses] to find out what is available in the community, as well as meet other spouses from dif-
ferent services,” said Chapman. “A spouse also might want to become a representative for one of these vendors and might be able to start a home-based business as a result of coming to the event.” Some of the vendors at the event include cosmetic and skin care services, massage therapists, accessory vendors, military readiness agencies and additional military resources. There are also vendors that cater toward interests of male spouses, such as representatives from a local flight school. The Army and Air Force Exchange Service will also be offering wine tasting at the event. Because of this and the spousefocused atmosphere, children are not allowed, said Chapman. In addition to the resources and opportunities “Evening Under the Stars” provides to military spouses, the event also benefits Service members, said Chapman. “For our military members, it’s important to know their spouse is getting taken care of and pampered,” she said. “It helps to alleviate stress, and it helps to know if their spouse has a problem, they have someone to reach out to. We, as a joint service, care about our spouses.” For more information on the event or to sign up as a volunteer, contact Master Sgt. Dawn Chapman at 764-3990 or dawn.chapman@langley.af.mil, or Master Sgt. Dawn Moninger at dawn.moninger@langley.af.mil.
Military spouse field exercise scheduled at Fort Eustis By Airman 1st Class R. Alex Durbin 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
The Army Wife Network’s Spouse Field Exercise is scheduled to be held at the Fort Eustis Club May 16 from 5 to 9 p.m., and May 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Fort Eustis. The seminar is led by AWN co-founders, and authors of “1,001 Things To Love About Military Life,” Tara Crooks and Star Henderson. The event is designed to empower military families, and offers military-life survival tips, practical military family resources, networking opportunities, gift bags and giveaways, resource bags and complimentary taco and dessert bars. “Less than 1 percent of our U.S. population serves in
the military, and their families have taken the brunt of the sacrifice of war,” said Henderson. “This event aims to rejuvenate military families.” Free childcare is also available through Parent Central. All reservations for childcare must be made by May 2. Parent Central can be reached Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at (757) 878-4025. The event is not just open to Army spouses, but everyone involved in the military community of all service branches. “During struggling and uncertain times, it is very easy to lose your rose-colored glasses and become overwhelmed with worry and doubt about this military journey,” said Crooks. “We encourage everyone to attend and network to strengthen bonds. It’s a great reminder of why we love this life.”
Both speakers are greatly experienced, and can identify with the challenges of military families. After leaving active-duty service, Henderson wanted to continue serving. After deploying as a Soldier and earning a counseling degree, she was uniquely qualified to help military families with the trials they face. Crooks founded Army Wife Talk Radio in 2005 during her husband’s first deployment, and has since garnered a following in the subsequent years. “Our fans are our military family,” she said. “There is nothing like helping one of our brothers or sisters in arms by leading them to a resource to make their life a little easier.” To register, visit www.armywifenetwork.com, and find the event listing under the “Events” tab.

The “Better Foods, Better Bodies” campaign recently selected Langley Air Force Base as a pilot base for its promotional initiative. From how Airmen shop at the commissary, to the meals they choose to eat, this movement is designed to help Service members and “Think about what their families make health- you are consuming and ier selections. how it impacts you.” “I want people to make — Monica Richardson an informed choice. If 633rd Medical Group Health you are choosing the lesshealthy option, I want it and Wellness Center flight chief to be a conscious decision versus not even thinking about it,” said Monica Richardson, 633rd Medical Group Health and Wellness Center flight chief. “Think about what you are consuming and how it impacts you.” Richardson saw first-hand evidence of how new Airmen were making meal choices during a briefing at the First Term Airman’s Center, where she introduced the BFBB website. “Since the dining facility is closed, I asked the Airmen where they were eating,” said Richardson. “Some were shopping at the commissary and cooking their own meals, but others we eating fast food every day.” SEE HEALTHY PAGE 14

The 733rd Civil Engineer Division earned the 2013 Virginia Governor’s Environmental Excellence Gold Medal Award April 10 for the success of their sustainability program. The award, granted on behalf of Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, recognizes the division’s significant contributions toward environmental protection and conservation in the sustainability category through its Environmental Management System, an International Standard for Organization 14001 initiative designed to drive and track progress through measurable objectives and targets. Arba Williamson, the 733rd CED Pollution Prevention Branch chief, said the current sustainability program began in 2004, and since has produced continuous improvement in reducing pollution, energy and water
consumption, and solid waste production while increasing recycling. In partnership with the Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Eustis closely monitored recent facility expansion and renovations to construct twenty Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-certified (LEED) buildings. As a Chesapeake Bay Partner, the installation has initiated storm water best management practices, and has inserted Low Impact Development (LID) aspects into many construction and paving projects. Additionally, the sustainability program has ensured healthy forested lands, initiated efforts to control invasive species and balanced wildlife and ecological factors to protect the installation’s training areas, which are integral in fulfilling Army and Department of Defense-level training requirements.

Maj. Gen. Lawrence Wells, 9th Air Force commander, passes the guidon to Col. John J. Allen Jr., the newly appointed 633rd Air Base Wing commander, during the wing change of command ceremony at LangleyAir Force Base,April 22.Allen assumed command of the wing from Col. Korvin D.Auch.
Col. John J. Allen Jr. assumed command of the 633rd Air Base Wing, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, in a ceremony at Langley Air Force Base, Va., April 22. As the colors passed between the two colonels in a time-honored tradition, so did the responsibility for the 37,000 Service members, civilian employees and their families serving at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, a duty Allen does not take lightly. “As we stare down a future marked with challenge and opportunity, it comforts me to know that we have that professionalism and leadership from which to draw as we continue to deliver worldclass mission support to our partners on JBLE and around the region,” Allen said during the change of command. Although many challenges exist, including the current fiscal climate, Allen believes his predecessors and the two installations’ past teamwork creates a strong foundation to build on. “We’ve been through challenges like this,” he said. “But I would argue that we came out stronger, thanks to the ingenuity of our Airmen and Soldiers, and our civilian Airmen and Soldiers at this joint base.” Allen also recognized the important support the surrounding communities
provide to the mission. “It is clear to me that this joint installation enjoys strong community ties,” he said, “I look forward to joining with you and maintaining those ties.” Maj. Gen. Lawrence Wells, 9th Air Force commander, believes Allen is the right person for the job, highlighting his past responsibilities as the senior military assistant to the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Environment and Logistics, and commander of the 1st Expeditionary Civil Engineering Group in Southwest Asia. “You bring a leadership style that’s been steeped in jointness, that enhances the transparency and cooperation that we need and you’ve got a proven track record of success,” Wells said. “To the men and women of the 633rd Air Base Wing, you’re going to remain in strong and steady hands.” Allen previously served at Langley Air Force Base as part of the 1st Civil Engineer Squadron. He is a 1990 graduate of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., where he earned a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering and his commission from the Reserve Officer Training Corps. Col. Korvin D. Auch, who commanded the wing since June 2011, transferred to U.S. Central Command at MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., as the director of manpower and personnel.

The sustainability program’s accomplishments include: ■ Water conservation efforts decreased water usage 17.5 percent from fiscal year 2009 to FY 2012. ■ Air emissions decreased 43.8 percent from FY 2008 to FY 2012 and remain well below permit limits. ■ The overall municipal solid waste stream decreased 29.9 percent from FY 2008 to FY 2012, and most dramatically in FY 2012. Fort Eustis also increased the recycling and diversion rate significantly from 39 percent in FY 2008 to 51 percent in FY 2012. ■ Since 2009, operational hazardous waste generation has steadily decreased by 26.1 percent. ■ Total electricity usage decreased 53.6 percent from FY 2009 to FY 2012. ■ Gasoline usage decreased 22.7 percent from FY 2007 to FY 2012. Diesel usage decreased 19.9 percent from FY 2007 to FY 2012. ■ Partnership with the Army CoE to construct one LEED Platinum facility, two LEED Gold facilities and 17 LEED Silver certifiable buildings, contributing to further water, energy and other environmental improvements. ■ Integration of LID apparatuses into base-level projects, notably a storm drain filter system, swales, retention ponds and 10 rain gardens. ■ Since 2007, the 733rd CED improved 125 acres of forested land, treated more than 725 acres of invasive plant species and protected 100 percent of the post’s more than 2,000 acres of wetlands through delineation and designating buffer areas. Williamson said the EMS is driven through three crossfunctional teams comprised of 733rd CED experts and representatives from organizations across the installation. These teams meet to establish sustainability and conservation goals, and representatives take findings back to their organizations to determine how they can improve resource usage. “They go back and say, “We can do a better job. We have environmental responsibilities; we can turn off the lights, and we can use less water,’” he explained. “They work together to do those things that contribute to sustainability.” Emma Watterson, a pollution prevention support specialist to the EMS, explained how metering resource usage is one of the division’s primary vectors in continuing their success in sustainability. “All large buildings on post will have meters. Our new buildings already do, and we will retrofit older buildings with meters,” she said. “These meters allow us to go to a commander or director and tell them how much water, gas and electricity they’re using and develop ways to reduce usage.” “Our thrust here is to follow DOD and Air Force sustainability philosophy and policy to conserve resources – water, air, fuels, energy – and reduce wastes of all types, as well as recycling and reusing materials,” Williamson said. “We’re doing all that we do to ensure that Fort Eustis is here and healthy for as long as the DOD needs us to be.”

Recognize and respond:
Steps to help notice and prevent child abuse se By Airman 1st Class Austin Harvill 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
“Children are our future. It is important we keep them safe and cared for.” Take a piece of paper. Crush it in your fist. Throw it to the ground. Scream at it. Release all your stresses of the day into that scrap of parchment. Now straighten it out. Obviously, you will still be able to see the wrinkles and the tears left from your actions. For a child who suffers abuse, they are treated like that paper, and their scars cannot be removed, just like the wrinkles of the paper. “Children are our future,” said Linda Hough, 633rd Medical Group Family Advocacy Program outreach manager. “It is important we keep them safe and cared for.” Child Abuse Prevention Month and the Month of the Military Child both fall in April, which prompted Hough and her associates to share as much information about child abuse prevention and awareness as possible. CAPM began in 1983 with the intent of reducing violence in all forms against children through the concentrated efforts of the government and local communities. Since then, child abuse awareness issues take the forefront of April events. At the backbone of these events are community

Helpguide, a nonprofit resource for child abuse awareness and prevention, shared a few warning signs of child abuse to look for (see sidebar at right). While knowing the signs is paramount to child safety, there isn’t a specific “place” where child abuse can happen. If the signs are apparent, make the report regardless of the child’s caretakers or

the neighborhood they live in. With the entire stigma regarding child abuse, it is important for parents or other caretakers to know there are resources available if they feel raising their child has become too difficult. Joint Base Langley-Eustis provides des those same resources for Service members and community members alike in the Hampton Roads area. “When a [caretaker] begins feeling frustrated or angry with the child, they need to step back and take a break,” said Hyman. “There are programs on the installations for parents to get the help they need.” The Family Advocacy Program, Military Family Life Consultants and the CDC all have programs to help parents foster a healthy relationship with their children, such as behavioral counseling, parenting seminars and programs designed so parents can take a break to revive the love and care they have for their kids when life seems overwhelming. As our most precious commodity, children need to be safe and happy, and the vigilance and love provided by everyone in the community, not just caretakers, ensures their safety.
For more information on these programs, or to report child abuse and neglect call Langley Family Advocacy at (757) 764-2427 or the Fort Eustis office at (757) 878-0807.

6LJQV RI FKLOG DEXVH Physical abuse • Unexplained or frequent injury • Overly alert, skiddish to touch • Seems afraid to go home • Inappropriate clothing to perhaps cover up injuries, such as long-sleeves on a hot day Emotional abuse • Withdrawn, fearful or anxious about making mistakes • Shows extremes in behavior • Seems detached from the caregiver or caregivers • Acts as an adult (takes care of other children) or inappropriately infantile (rock-throwing, tantrums)
Effects of child abuse through the words of Veronica Thomas, a survivor of abuse: • “A girl once told me she cut herself one time for every abuse she endured. When I saw her arm, she had more than 150 cuts.” • “I work with a woman who was abused since she was an infant. Due to her abuse, she has developed a multiple-personality disorder.” • “To me, people who went through child abuse aren’t victims, they are survivors. Surviving means learning to control what happened to you, not the other way around.” • “Abuse confuses a child’s morals and ideas of authority. A child will believe abuse is okay because adults are always right; they are brainwashed.” • “A lot of people have come up to me with their stories. I’ve had an 80-year-old woman tell me her story before; it is never too late to lift that weight off your shoulders.”

That is when Richardson stressed the BFBB campaign. Although there are many different sites to help implement healthy eating habits, BFBB is a convenient “onestop-shop” that provides simple, evidence-based information. The site may be accessed via smart phone by scanning the quick response (QR) code on the promotional posters and table tents located throughout the base. The website also provides seven different recipes a month that are both healthy and appetizing, said Richardson. It also creates a shopping list for those recipes, showing what is needed and how much of each ingredient is required. Saving time by not having to plan out meals or create lists makes BFBB an easy, healthy option, she said. To ensure those healthy choices are available around base, some of the Langley’s facilities have made changes to support the campaign. The Langley Commissary offers coupons in correlation to some of the items found in BFBB recipes, while the Shoppette provides healthy breakfast and lunch choices, such as fruit and granola bars. “If the only option is a doughnut, what are people going to eat? The doughnut,”

said Richardson. “If they have the option of the doughnut, a piece of fruit and other nutritional options, people may be more likely to make the healthy choice.” Although this pilot program ends in May, the HAWC hopes the results acquired from Langley will better shape the program, and potentially implement BFBB Air Forcewide so that all Airmen may benefit from the healthy eating campaign.

Maj. Gen. Bradley W. May, senior commander of Army Element Eustis, will host a community listening session on proposed Army end-strength reductions April 30 at 6 p.m. inside Jacobs Theater, located at 647 Monroe Avenue on Fort Eustis. The session, which is open to the public, will provide an opportunity for elected officials, local community leaders and residents to offer comments for the Army to consider about reorganization, and to mitigate socioeconomic impact on the communities that surround Fort Eustis as much as possible. The Army must reduce its active component by 80,000 Soldiers – from 570,000 to 490,000 -- and eliminate eight brigade combat teams by 2017 to achieve the fiscal reductions required by the Budget Control Act of 2011. The Army conducted a Programmatic Environmental Assessment at 21 installations, including Fort Eustis, to evaluate the environmental and socioeconomic impacts from proposed action to realign the Army’s force structure between fiscal year 2013 through fiscal year 2017. The results of the PEA show no significant environmental impact, but significant socioeconomic impacts were identified at most of the installations. The results are contained in a “Finding of No Significant Impact,” available for review at http://aec.army.mil/usaec/ nepa/Army2020FNSI.pdf. The proposed force structure changes are not related to sequestration, and the Army will not make any decisions until all available options are analyzed. The Fort Eustis community listening session is one of about 30 that have been, or will be, conducted across the country to assist the Army in making the best decisions. Attendees who do not have a Department of Defense identification card should arrive early, and must enter the main gate’s visitor line via Fort Eustis Boulevard with a valid driver’s license, valid vehicle registration, safety inspection and proof of insurance to obtain a pass. Due to ongoing construction on Fort Eustis Boulevard, allow additional time to enter the installation. Directions to Jacobs Theater from main gate via Fort Eustis Boulevard: After receiving a visitor pass and entering through the main gate, continue straight through the traffic circle to stay on Washington Boulevard. Turn right onto Jackson Avenue. Turn right onto Monroe Avenue. Jacobs Theater is on the left. Media interested in providing coverage of the community listening session are asked to contact Stephanie Slater, Public Affairs Officer at (757) 501-7043 or (757) 7758108 by 4 p.m., April 29.

Children from the NASA Langley Research Center’s Child Development Center participate in a fire safety demonstration presented by the Fort Eustis fire department April 17. Douglas Faber (below), 733rd Civil Engineer Division Fire and Emergency Services assistant chief of fire prevention and public education, and the Fort Eustis fire department traveled to the NASA CDC to teach kids about the importance of fire safety and prevention.
Smith, who also spent 21 years in the U.S. Air Force, explained the importance of informing children about smoke detectors, and making kids aware of what to do in emergencies. “A lot of these children are waking up in their beds and sitting straight
up,” said Smith. “We teach them they need to roll out of bed, not sit straight up.” The demonstration isn’t just for kids. Educating the parents is also very important, because there can be additional concerns of which they are unaware. During a fire emergency, fire trucks and firefighters may seem frightening to children. With proper education, parents can help children feel comfortable with, and around, firefighters. Additionally, practicing exit drills in the home, having a plan and meeting place can help families prepare in case of emergencies. Checking smoke detectors monthly is also a beneficial in fire safety and prevention. By shedding light on the importance of fire safety and teaching young children what to be aware of, the 733rd CED ensures kids are being taught lessons that can potentially save their lives, as well as the lives of others.
For more information or to schedule a demonstration on Joint Base Langley-Eustis, contact Douglas Faber at (757) 878-4281, ext. 321 or e-mail douglas.e.faber.civ@mail.com. Off-base organizations should contact Vicki Bowker, Fort Eustis Public Affairs specialist, at (757) 878-4920.

As smoke fills a home, the oncesleeping occupants rush to escape, not realizing a young child may still be sleeping through the shrill sound of the smoke detector. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, children may not wake up once a smoke detector begins to go off. This alarming fact is one of the reasons fire departments conduct training with families and children, to get the children acquainted with the sound that a smoke detector makes. The Fort Eustis, Va., fire department traveled to the NASA Langley Research Center’s Child Development Center April 17 to teach kids about the importance of fire safety and prevention. “It’s life safety, because anything can happen at any time,” explained Douglas Faber, 733rd Civil Engineer Division Fire and Emergency Services assistant fire chief of fire prevention and public education. “Children need this training to be able to survive in a time of crisis.” Members from the fire department visited the CDC to conduct a handson educational training on proper safety techniques, and how to prevent fires. Inside a trailer decorated to resemble a small home, children watched an interactive video. Following the video, the children demonstrated their knowledge by answering questions about fire safety and prevention. The children were also tested on what they learned by displaying the proper way to evacuate a home if they see or smell smoke in the household. “We want to get these kids in an environment that is fun,” said Carneal Smith, 733rd CED Fire and Emergency Services fire inspector. “This type of environment allows for them to be more appreciative, as well as learn more.”
