U.S. Service members and shoppers exit the Base Exchange at Langley Air Force Base, Va., July 28, 2015. Since March 2014, the Exchange has undergone numerous constructional upgrades, such as an expanded ﬂoor plan, raised ceilings and more food and shopping options.

Langley BX undergoes upgrades by Senior Airman Breonna Veal 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Construction at the Exchange at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, is set to wrap up in fall 2015, according Army and Air Force Exchange Services ofﬁcials. The construction effort began in March 2014 and is intended to provide customers an up-to-date shopping facility with a more diverse selection of dining and retail options, while making the building more spacious, said Antonio Porter Sr., Joint Base LangleyEustis Exchange general manager. “We have expanded the retail sales ﬂoor square footage by 8,000 square feet,” said Porter. “With the expansion, we are able to bring in more of an assortment of national brands that our customers are accustomed to seeing in the retailer’s outside the gate, as well

as a new look to our Bath and Body Shop section.” Among the changes, Porter said shoppers can now enjoy a new section.

“BE FIT is an Exchange program targeted to our military customer base in partnership with our efforts to maintain a healthier and active lifestyle through the expansion of athletic apparel and footwear in a more redeﬁned location,” said Porter. Prior to renovations, Porter said the Exchange had a limited food court area. Now the food court boasts several businesses enhance the overall shopping experience. “We have expanded the Food Court and raised the ceiling height in our Exchange Mall,” said Porter. “This allows customer to have better visibility of our operation and a more conceptual feel.” Even with the most recent advancements, Porter added the Exchange will continue to look at all of its operations to ensure the customers’ experience is top priority every day.

Special delivery: Langley baby born in unusual setting by Senior Airman Aubrey White 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Editor’s Note: The names of individuals in this article have been withheld for security purposes. At 4:30 p.m., personnel at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, dispersed from their workplaces and scurried to their cars. As U.S. Air Force Airmen made their trek to respective destinations, an anxious husband tapped his ﬁnger on the steering wheel of his car, careful not to concern his wife. “I’m catching every red light,” he thought to himself. “We’re so close.” As the husband obsessed over the gleaming red light before him, his wife, Katie, sat in the passenger seat, attempting to regulate her breathing and withstand the pain she endured every few

minutes. At nearly 40 weeks pregnant, Katie began active labor. She tried her hardest not to push during what seemed to take a lifetime to get to USAF Hospital Langley. They barely missed the ﬂurry of personnel leaving for the day when they pulled into the hospital parking lot. Luckily, a few Airmen stayed at work for a little longer than usual. “Have a good evening, I’ll see you in the morning,” Staff Sgt. Lee Ford, 633rd MDSS outpatient noncommissioned ofﬁcer in charge, said to a coworker. Ford walked out of the hospital doors and was on his way to the gym when he heard a voice call for help. “I need a wheelchair!” a woman exclaimed from somewhere in the sea of cars.

Ford rushed back into the hospital, then to the area from where he heard the woman call, now with a wheel chair in tow. The wife cried out in agony. “It’s going to be alright,” said Lynette Lyles, 633rd Medical Support Squadron unit deployment manager, who had nearly driven by when she saw the couple in distress. “Just breathe; we’ll help you get in the chair.” Ford and Lyles hastily but cautiously assisted Katie into the wheelchair. “The baby’s coming out, I can’t hold on any longer,” Katie bellowed while beads of sweat rolled down her face. The emotional triad escorted Katie and newborn baby, Alexander, into the hospital and up to labor and delivery where a team of Airmen were prepared to ensure they were healthy. “The staff was just awesome and very professional,” the husband said. “They were calm, as much as you can be in that situation, so that really helped.” The storm settled and Katie and her husband looked amorously at their new baby, forgetting about the chaotic day

they bore. “I don’t think anyone’s really ready for a situation like that,” Ford said when thinking back on the experience. “Ultimately we just had to do what we could at that moment to get the patient taken care of. Anyone here at the 633rd would have done exactly what we had done.” Agreeing with Ford’s account, Lyles, a retired Airman, said sometimes Airmen get bogged down with annual Self Aid and Buddy Care training, but it’s important to take the preparation seriously. “You’ll never know what training you’ll need,” she said. “As an admin, I’ll never have the same training as a med tech or a provider would have for that situation, but having some training and being able to help [was reassuring].” In the end, the baby was healthy and resting in his mother’s arms; Lyles was off to tell her daughter about what she just did; and Ford continued on his way to the gym. “I went to the gym, all these people were around me with all their different days going on and I just thought, ‘If only you knew,’” Ford said.

Fort Eustis celebrates ACS’ 50th birthday by Staff Sgt. Natasha Stannard Joint Base Langley-Eustis community members celebrated the U.S. Army Community Service’s 50th birthday at the bowling center at Fort Eustis, Virginia, July 22, 2015. ACS provides a comprehensive, coordinated and responsive framework of services that enhances readiness for Soldiers, civilian employees and their families. Such services include outreach, ﬁnancial and employment opportunities, family member and relocation assistance services. According to Army Morale, Welfare and Recreation, ACS was based off of Army Emergency Relief, which was created to alleviate social welfare problems of Soldiers and their Families during World War II. The AER was later designated as the Personnel Affairs Ofﬁces and continued the same mission for Army families. In operation until the end of WWII, the PAO provided the framework for development of ACS more than 20 years later. Since the ACS’ start in 1965, its volunteers have ensured the success of meaningful assistance to Army families. According to U.S. Army Maj. Gen.

Anthony Funkhouser, Center for Initial Military Training commander, since the ACS’s establishment at Fort Eustis in 1967, the center continues to serve as a cornerstone of support for families by increasing the amount of services it provides to meet the changing needs of the Army family. “The amount of people here reflects how important ACS is to our community,” said Funkhouser. “ACS contributes a lot and really helps our families especially during deployments.” Retired U.S. Army Col. Aaron Dotson, who stood up the Fort Eustis ACS, attended the birthday celebration, said that when the program first started during the Vietnam conflict, it was a haven that directed families to various services. “Metaphorically speaking, ACS is that balm where you come and you can get healing, comfort, reassurance and hope where hope has been lost,” said the 91-year-old retiree. “I’m very proud of ACS and what it is doing today. There are so many wonderful changes that have taken place and it is a pleasure to be a part of this celebration.” For more information about the ACS’ history, visit http://www.armymwr. com/acs-bday.aspx.

Making the Air Force a part-time job by Senior Airman Breonna Veal 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Serving as an active-duty U.S. Service member isn’t the only way Air Force Airmen can provide support, dedication or service. More than 70,000 U.S. Air Force Reserve Airmen perform approximately 20 percent of the department of the Air Force’s workload, including traditional ﬂying and other specialized missions. For Airmen leaving the Air Force after four or 20 years, the AFR gives Airmen the opportunity to continue serving while pursuing personal goals, said Tech. Sgt. Ronald Reyes, Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, in-service recruiter. “The AFR is a part-time component of active-duty Air Force,” said Reyes. “Parttime jobs in the AFR give you the time and ﬁnancial support to continue your

education or begin a civilian career.” Through the Palace Chase or Palace Front programs, active-duty Airmen can transition to the AFR. To Palace Chase, enlisted Service members must complete at least half of their first term contract and commissioned officers must complete at least two-thirds of their initial total active-duty service commitment by the requested date of separation, said Reyes. However, if an enlisted member or officer is within six months of their date of separation, they are only eligible for the Palace Front program. Once those interested speak to an inservice recruiter, they must gather documents needed for the transition. From there, they choose a position at a base of choice. Reyes said there is typically a Reserve wing or unit in almost every activeduty Air Force Base, which gives partici-

Over 70,000 U.S. Air Force Airmen make up the Air Force Reserve, performing about 20 percent of the mission. Many active-duty Service members, from all branches of the U.S. military, transition to the AFR each year through the Palace Chase and Palace Front programs.

pants a wide range of options. If eligible and selected for the program, service members will sever their current contract and transfer to an available reserve position. While participants end their commitment early, they must

pledge a predetermined amount of time to their new branch of service. “For Palace Chase, enlisted members have to double whatever time they have left and officers would have to triple the time they have left,” said Reyes. “However, signing up for six years in the AFR allows you to have access to Tuition Assistance, which is provided to active-duty Service members, and the Reserve G.I. Bill.” Transferring to the AFR requires Service members to answer the call of duty one weekend a month and two weeks throughout the year, allowing members to maintain a personal life of their choosing and attain goals outside of military service. “In my experience, the main reasons active-duty members separate is to pursue either a full-time career, be a full-time student or be a full-time parent,” said Reyes. “Transitioning into the AFR could be more beneficial depending on the individual because of the flexibility the reserves has to offer.” For more information, contact Reyes at 764-4085.

Comedian pays it forward to military

Comedian pays it forward to military by Staff Sgt. Natasha Stannard 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Fred McKinnon paced before his turn on stage, but he was double-dog dared by a coworker, so there was no turning back. Luckily for the Hampton, Virginia, native, when the microphone hit his balmy hands, he felt right at home as the crowd at a local comedy club erupted with laughter. For the past two years, the routine of going from nerves to glory hasn’t changed. “If you see me before I go on stage, you’d think ‘this guy is a nervous wreck,’” said McKinnon. “I’ll be almost sick to my stomach, pacing back and forth, but as soon as I touch the microphone all that goes away.” McKinnon, a U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command information technology specialist, started his stand-up routines at various comedy clubs around the Hampton Roads area before the military took a special interest in having him perform for U.S. Air Force Airmen and Soldiers at Joint Base Langley-Eustis clubs and community centers, as well as local Veterans Affairs hospitals and centers. “We wanted to bring entertainment to our community,” said Azeb Aweke, Fort Eustis Club director. “He’s been really great, the whole program is very entertaining. He’s very versatile and bases performances on what military members are going through, which is probably why they enjoy it so much.”

For McKinnon, a former U.S. Army signal officer, performing at JBLE and VA hospitals and centers isn’t just about getting a few laughs, but rather to pay it forward. “Standing before military crowds provides a sense of honor because I know that I am one of them,” said McKinnon. “The things our military members go through to serve our country, including going to war and dealing with issues like substance abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder, are difficult; so to have someone going through those issues come up and say ‘hey, you made me laugh’ is worth more than any amount of money I can get.” McKinnon also said that much of his success as a comedian is owed to lessons he learned through being a Soldier, as the job required organization, leadership skills and confidence to speak in front of others, as well as the ability to receive critical feedback. As a comedian, McKinnon said these skills all come into play when he prepares for crowds of different ages and backgrounds at a variety of venues ranging from restaurants to comedy clubs and military gatherings. “When I was in the military, I always looked to the next level,” said McKinnon. “So with comedy, I looked at what the pros were doing and copied them.” One of the biggest aids McKinnon said he picked up on from the start was taking notes, but he took it a step further.

COMEDIAN FROM PAGE 6 “I would see other comedians writing feverishly on these notepads and wonder what they’re doing. Now it’s funny because these other comedians come in with these little notepads and I come in with this 50-page binder filled with typed and categorized jokes,” said McKinnon, adding that categorization gives him a variety to choose from for his eclectic crowds. “When people see the binder, they usually tell me I’m insane, but to me it’s just what the military instilled with attention to detail.” The binder and McKinnon’s experience as a military leader have helped him through a few acts that could have gone bad, like when children showed up to an all adult event, he said. “In the military you’re put in positions where you sometimes have to make decisions on the fly and it’s the same with comedy.” said McKinnon. “If I go into a particular room, I may walk in understanding that it’s going to be this type of crowd and assume they’re going to like a certain type of joke. If they don’t, I need to be able to switch mid-stream because your success is dependent upon the crowd receiving what you have to say.” While McKinnon’s versatile style has lead him to open for comedy headliners, McKinnon is happy to continue supporting his hometown and military installations around the world. “I do it because I love it,” said McKinnon, “I’m not going to quit my day job, but I couldn’t imagine not making someone laugh because making someone laugh for at least five minutes can change the course of someone’s day.” For more information about McKinnon’s shows, visit http://www.iamteamfred.com/ and http://new.jbleforcesupport.com/.
