Read for the Win: Ft. Eustis summer reading program By Beverly Joyner 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The Groninger Library’s summer reading program for children, teens and adults officially started here June 27. The free program, which runs through August 14, is designed to assist parents and guardians in promoting and maintaining crucial reading and listening skills for children. It also encourages and supports a love of reading. Pre-registration is required and the program is open to active-duty and retired personnel, civilians, contractors and their family members. Parents and guardians can register their children from 9 to 11 a.m., Monday, through Wednesday. Older participants can sign up from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Wednesday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.,

Thursday and Saturday. “This year’s theme is ‘Read for the Win’,” said Valerie Fashion, Groninger Library director. “Our program offers unlimited possibilities for your child’s discoveries in the wonderful world of books.” Participants can complete a summer reading log to earn prizes and points. Points, equivalent to play money valued at the play money face value, can be earned for reading books, attending library programs and completing program activity sheets. Reading logs must be turned in to the library staff for credit in order to receive prizes, which may be substituted. Readers are not limited to reading library books. Magazines, school and comic books and audiobooks all meet the eligibility requirements. When older children read to younger children, both can earn credit,

said Fashion. A group of Fort Eustis School Age Program children ages 7 to 8 years old were the first to register at the kick-off event. Other groups expected to register throughout the sevenweek program include the Yorktown Navy Child Development Center, Clue Club, Virginia Cooperative Extension and older children from the Fort Eustis School Age Group. “It is important for children of all ages to discover the pleasure that literature offers,” said Fashion. “As parents or guardians, you can help make this happen by reading to your children” and encouraging them to read every day. The Read for the Win program will end with a grand finale party at 11 a.m., August 18 at the library. For more information, contact the Groninger Library at Ft. Eustis at 878-5017.

We want to hear from you. Contact us at 633abw.paedit@us.af.mil, or call 878-4920 or 764-5701.

One year of the 363rd ISS By Joseph Gangemi 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Members of the 363rd Intelligence Support Squadron gathered to celebrate the anniversary of the unit’s activation at Langley Air Force Base, Va., June 24th, 2016. Last June, U.S. Air Force Airmen and civilians came together to establish the mission and vision statement for newly created 363rd ISS, “The 363rd ISS Cyber Cats ... elite professionals assuring cyberspace superiority ... conquering today’s needs, anticipating tomorrow’s challenges.” The squadron, assigned to the 363rd Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Wing, is responsible for precision targeting production, special operations ISR, and full-spectrum analytical support to the tactical warfighter unit, enabling combat power in air, space and cyberspace. “We are here to celebrate a year of accomplishments,” said U.S. Air Force Maj. Jontae McGrew, 363rd ISS commander. Over the past year, the 363rd ISS has provided 21 cyber and information technology training opportunities to enhance their skills and

capabilities, received excellent ratings during Joint Base Langley-Eustis’s first ever cyber readiness and information assurance inspections. The 363rd ISS has also achieved several milestones and implemented benchmark practices which have had a direct impact and brought the squadron seven wing-level and seventeen grouplevel awards. “Standing up the squadron has enabled the 366 ISS to open the doors in the intelligence community,” said U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Adam Jensen, 363rd ISS Cyber Operations flight chief. “[We have] forged relationships with other Langley communication squad-

rons by instituting communication calls and mentoring sessions with other base agencies.” The 363rd ISS continues to build on its history as the first cyberspace operations support squadron in the 363rd Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Wing. The cyber professionals maintain unique targeting systems and sustain reach-back capabilities to the intelligence community, joint warfighters and air operation centers worldwide by providing secure and reliable cyber support for target development, analysis and dissemination. “The 363rd ISR has been successful over the past year due to the hard work and determination of the men and women in the ISS” said U.S. Air Force Col Brian Kravitz, 363rd ISS vice commander. “The 363rd ISS ‘No Comm, No Bomb’ mentality has had a true impact when it comes to targeting for the air operation centers downrange.” The men and women of the 363rd have proven that they value their mission statement, themselves and commitment to the squadron. “To our past, current and future, once a Cyber Cat, always a Cyber Cat” said McGrew.

‘Best of the Big Screen’ brings movies back to Langley Theater

By Staff Sgt. Teresa J. Cleveland 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Movie nights have returned to the base theater here thanks to the 633rd Force Support Squadron. “The name of the program is ‘Best of the Big Screen,’ so we will be showing movies that have recently been featured in local theaters,” said James Murrell, 633rd FSS community programs director. “People may have not had a chance to see them or are interested in seeing again so we want to accommodate that.” The Army and Air Force Exchange Service stopped hosting weekly movie nights at the Langley Theater four years ago due to projected renovation costs. The 633rd FSS acquired

the facility and has since used it for training, special events, talent shows and comedy nights. The squadron decided to bring back the movie program after feedback was received from U.S. service members and their families. “There have been requests from the military community for us to bring back the movie program,” said Murrell. “We want to make sure we are offering a variety of activities for our Airmen and Soldiers and their families to enjoy.” In order to accommodate a wide range of other community program events such as pool parties, block parties and comedy shows, the theater will feature movies approximately every other Friday. Admission is free and conces-

sions are available at a low cost. This past Friday’s movie night featured a family movie, Zootopia, followed by Deadpool for an adult audience. “We want to make it affordable for our service members to bring their families out and enjoy time together,” said Mur-

JBLE SAFETY PRESENTS INDEPENDENCE DAY SAFETY TIPS By Staff Sgt. Teresa J. Cleveland 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, about 230 people go to the emergency room each day with firework-related injuries on days in conjunction with Independence Day. Along with firework hazards, common injuries around the holiday weekend include swimming, camping, hiking and travel mishaps. “We see a lot of mishaps during holiday weekends when people are out and about more,” said U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Victor Jones, 633rd Air Base Wing Safety Office occupational safety technician. “One thing we like to reiterate to Airmen is our Check 3 GPS initiative which means to check to make sure you have the proper gear, a plan and the right skills for whatever activity

you’re engaging in.” Service members are reminded that they should fill out an AF Form 4392-Predeparture Safety Briefing if they are under the age of 26 and going outside the local area. Additionally, if Service members are involved in any type of mishap, they should notify their supervisor immediately, so an AF Form 978-Supervisor Mishap Report can be completed and submitted to the Safety Office. More tips from the Safety Office to help Service members and their families stay safe and enjoy their holiday weekend include: Grilling and fireworks: - Keep heat sources away from flammable items and buildings. Base housing residents are required to place grills at least 10 feet from walls or railings. - Don’t use fireworks close to children or

pets. Never let children hold fireworks. - Always be sure to have a fire extinguisher or water nearby to avoid flare-ups from any unexpended pyrotechnics. Swimming and beach activities: - Make sure to have the appropriate level of skill required for the activity such as swimming, skiing or other water activities. - Always swim at a beach with a lifeguard on duty. - Apply sunblock with at least SPF 15 or higher, depending on individual sensitivity to UVA and UVB rays. Camping and hiking: - Ensure enough food and water is packed for the amount of travel or camping that will occur. - Service members should ensure someone in their chain of command knows where they are going in case of an emergency.

Traveling: - Make sure travelers get enough sleep before traveling, and rest throughout their travel period. - Have a plan in case of congested roads or vehicle accidents. - Ensure the vehicle is prepared for the route to include tires with the appropriate tread and fluids filled. “Whether it is driving, kayaking, skydiving, Check 3 GPS is a tool that you can use to ensure that you are checking yourself and making sure whatever activities you’re going to be involved in, you’re going to be doing them safely,” said Jones. “We understand it’s a great time to enjoy time with family and friends and we want to make sure everyone is safe.” For more information, contact the 633rd ABW Safety Office at Langley at 764-5050 or at Fort Eustis at 501-8226.

Cape Charles, Va

Norfolk, Portsmouth and Newport News are among the top 50 cities in the country with mosquitoes, according to USA Today. There are about 30 mosquito species in the Hampton Roads area, most of which are potential carriers of human viral diseases, according to the 633rd Aeromedical Squadron Public Health Office. Keep the following tips in mind to help reduce mosquito bites this summer: 1. Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants. 2. Stay in places with air conditioning and window and door screens to keep mosquitoes outside. 3. Use Environmental Protection Agency-registered insect repellents with one of the following active ingredients: DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or para-methane-diol. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. 4. Install or repair and use window and door screens. Do not leave doors propped open. 5. Once a week, empty, scrub, turn over, cover or throw out any items that hold water such as tires, buckets, planters, toys, pools, birdbaths, flowerpot saucers or

trash containers. 6. Tightly cover water storage containers such as buckets, cisterns or rain barrels, so mosquitoes cannot get inside to lay eggs. For containers without lids, use wire mesh with holes smaller than an adult mosquito. 7. Use an outdoor flying insect spray where mosquitoes rest. Mosquitoes rest in dark, humid areas such as under patio furniture, or under the carport or garage. When using insecticides, always follow the label instructions. 8. If you have a septic tank, repair cracks or gaps. Cover open vent or plumbing pipes. Use wire mesh with holes smaller than an adult mosquito. 9. Keep mosquitoes from laying eggs inside your home. Once a week, empty and scrub, turn over, cover, or throw out any items that hold water like vases and flowerpot saucers. Mosquitoes rest in dark, humid places like under the sink, in closets, under furniture, or in the laundry room. 10. Do not tamper with any mosquito traps that have been placed throughout the base and off base housing.
