Members of the 633rd Civil Engineer Squadron will break ground on installing new traffic changes at Bethel Manor, Joint Base Langley-Eustis’ off-base housing area in Hampton, Va., Sept. 19, 2016. 633 CES will be installing barriers and a set of spikes at the entrance on First Street, making it an exit only gate.

Bethel Manor housing area to receive traffic changes By Senior Airman Kimberly Nagle 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Joint Base Langley-Eustis off-base housing areas in Hampton, Virginia will experience traffic changes beginning Sept. 19, 2016. Members of the 633rd Civil Engineer Squadron will be installing barriers and a set of spikes at the entrance on First Street, making it an exit only gate. 633rd Air Base Wing leadership implemented changes due to an influx of crime in the housing area over the last three years, to keep patrons safe and secure. U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Francis Sands, 633rd Security Forces Squadron Police Services and Confinement NCO said that the entrance off of Raptor Boulevard, along

with the pedestrian gates will be open at all times. “The personnel who live on the Frontier Crossing side will be the most affected by the changes instead of entering at First Street, they now will have to drive all the way around,” said Sands. “Commuters should plan for additional traffic on Big Bethel Road and adjust their travel times.” In addition to the changes, the Bethel Manor school gate will now be locked from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily. The gates will be opened for evening activities. Even though more security measures are being implemented, Sands encourages those who live in the area to remain vigilant by locking all of their doors and vehicles. Questions or concerns can be directed to 633rd SFS Police Services at 764-7766/764-7767.

Fire safety: Useful tips News Release 633RD CIVIL ENGINEER SQUADRON FIRE DEPARTMENT

Itâ€™s 2 a.m., and your family are sound asleep. You are awakened by a smell of smoke coming from the hallway. Tired and confused from the effects of the smoke, you know you need to get to safety, but you and your family are trapped inside the bedrooms because the fire started while everyone was asleep. Why

â€˘

Peninsula Warrior - Air Force

did the smoke detectors not sound? Statistics show that many people experience this scenario every day. According to the National Fire Protection Association, half of home fire deaths result from fires reported between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most people are asleep. Three out of five fire deaths happen from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported home fires in half. In 2014, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 367,500 home structure fires. These fires caused 2,745 deaths, 11,825 injuries, and $6.8 billion in direct damage. In fires considered large enough to activate the smoke alarm, hardwired alarms operated 94% of the time, while battery powered alarms operated 80% of the time. Joint Base Langley-Eustis Fire Department is teaming up with NFPA during Fire Prevention Week, October 9-15, 2016, to urge residents to â€œDonâ€™t Wait: Check the Date! Replace Smoke Alarms

Every 10 Yearsâ€?. This yearâ€™s theme focuses on smoke alarm replacement comes as the result of a recent survey conducted by NFPA, which showed that only a small percentage of people know how old their smoke alarms are or how often they need to be replaced. Smoke detectors play a vital role in home fire safety, but they have to be working properly. People think they are safe because smoke detectors are in their homes. However, it takes regular testing to ensure everything is working properly. Part of that effort is making sure you know how old the smoke alarms in your home are, and recommend that theyâ€™re replaced every 10 years. The age of a smoke alarm can be determined by looking for the date of manufacture on the back or side of the alarm, and to replace the units 10 years from that date. Helpful tips concerning smoke detectors are: Âˇ Test the power of the detector to ensure itâ€™s working Âˇ Check the smoke sensor to make sure the unit is working correctly

3 Âˇ Test detectors at least once each month Âˇ Clean the detector Âˇ Insert new batteries twice each year Âˇ Replace the smoke detector ever 10 years or if malfunction occurs. JBLE Fire Department will be hosting our annual fire station open house as well as several other appearances around base during Fire Prevention Week to promote â€œDonâ€™t Wait: Check the Date! Replace Smoke Alarms Every 10 Yearsâ€?. Through these educational, family-oriented activities, residents can learn more about maintaining or replacing their home smoke detectors, as well as the power of prevention. To find out more about Fire Prevention Week programs and activities on JBLE, please contact the Langley AFB Fire Department at 764-4222 or email 633ces. cef.firepreve@us.af.mil or contact Ft Eustis Fire Department at 878-3131 ext 321.

JBLE hosts NCO transition course, induction ceremony By Staff Sgt. Teresa J. Cleveland 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

STAY INFORMED WWW.MILITARYNEWS.COM

The Langley Club 5/6 hosted the first NCO transition course and induction ceremony at Joint Base LangleyEustis, Virginia, Sept. 7 through 9, 2016. Following the promotion selection release on Aug. 25, 2016, 150 staff sergeant selects attended the transition course and induction ceremony. The transition course acted as a refresher from Airman Leadership School, where Senior Airmen learn to lead and become supervisors. The course material helped guide Airmen into becoming successful supervisors that generate job satisfaction amongst their subordinates. “We don’t want to keep repeating the same informa-

September 16, 2016 tion even though it is vital information,” said U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Dustin, 10th Intelligence Squadron section chief and transition course instructor. “We want to show them how to create a thinking work center where everybody feels empowered and involved.” In addition to the transition course, the future NCO’s were honored with an induction ceremony. During the induction ceremony, the guest speaker, Master Sgt. Jeffery Vogel, 1st Operations Support Squadron superintendent, advised Airmen to hold themselves accountable for their actions and the actions of their subordinates. According to Senior Airman Timothy, 10th Intelligence Squadron cyber systems operator, who attended both events, the first ever transition course and induction ceremony hold great significance with the installation’s 100-year history. “I think it really speaks to the heritage of the base,” said Timothy. “It’s been around for a long time and they continue to honor their people in new ways.” Dustin hopes those who attended the events take what they learned back to their work centers. “We want to make sure they view their Airmen as leaders and treat them as such,” said Dustin. “View them as creative and innovative people, inspire them and remind them that everything they do is a learning experience. The more they learn, the more competent they become.” Langley Club 5/6 hopes to continue these events annually once promotion lists have been released.

Every Airman plays a role in suicide prevention By J.D. Levite AIR FORCE SURGEON GENERAL PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The Air Force is determined to prevent suicide, but an Airman doesn’t need to be a specialist or doctor to do that. Sometimes all it takes is starting a conversation. Everyone has a role to play. That’s a key part of the Defense Department’s #BeThere campaign, which encourages making a difference through every day connections. “We’re sending the message that it’s OK to have problems and it’s OK to talk about them. Having problems and talking about them with people you work with openly is a sign of strength, not weakness,” said Maj. Joel Foster, chief of Air Force Deployment Health who supports the suicide prevention program with annual training. “The fact that everyone can intervene is part of the messaging we’re trying to promote. Every Airman is a censor.” He said Airmen should look out for certain red flags, like changes in mood or behavior, substance abuse, indications of problems at home or domestic violence. Problems like these can lead to thoughts of suicide, but a person is only going to notice if they’re paying attention. For this reason, supervisors, commanders, first sergeants, and peers need to get to know their Airmen more personally because they’re the ones Airmen should feel comfortable turning to for help. “Supervisors and commanders really need to get involved with their Airmen and get to know them personally so they can identify when things are not going well,” Foster said. “They can see subtle changes in their behavior, and in their personality and in their work productivity, so they can intervene early and help that Airman get the tools and

the right resources that they need.” Commanders have a huge role to play in preventing suicides because they have such a large amount of influence, Foster said. “They have the influence to create an environment that is conducive to help-seeking behavior, to promoting a healthy lifestyle and encouraging a sense of balance in life,” Foster said. “If we have all of those factors operating, then Airmen will feel a sense of connectedness. They’ll have a strong support system to buffer against the stressors of life.” There are already a number of resources for Airmen in need, such as Wingman Online or Military One Source, and the Air Force is introducing new initiatives all the time. For example, Airmen always have access to mental health clinics on base when they need help. Plus, they can always find military and family life consultants at Airman and Family Readiness Centers. Something new the Air Force is doing is embedding military and family life consultants directly into the squadrons. MFLCs don’t replace mental health or medical services, but they do provide access to a short-term counseling service. Airmen with embedded MFLCs will have increased access to this service at the point where they need it. “We’re decreasing the barriers, decreasing the stigma, increasing availability and increasing the use of services,” Foster said. “They know the culture of the squadron they’re a part of and that makes it easier for Airmen to trust them and feel like they can go to them.” He said by catching things early or referring Airmen to the appropriate care at the right time, MFLCs could help Airmen in all four areas of Air Force resilience by keeping them physically, emo-

tionally, psychologically and spiritually fit. “The bottom line here is if you have your life well-ordered, and you are engaged in all four domains of Airmen fitness, suicide is not something you would resort to,” he said. The Air Force is also collaborating with chaplains, who have 100 percent confidentiality when Airmen need someone to talk to about the troubles they’re facing. Foster said they’re working with the chief of chaplains to give chaplains the tools to enhance their ability to assess suicidal risk. “We’re hoping to give them the tools to be more effective in evaluating the level of risk of Airmen,” Foster said. “Then they can use that information to inform Airmen about the next steps to take and what they need to do to get the right services.” Foster said recent studies have shown when one person commits suicide it can impact up to 100 other people that they knew and worked with, and eventually those numbers can impact productivity and readiness. If one suicide can impact that many people, then it’s important for an organization, like the Air Force, that values its people, to develop concrete ways to prevent it. “Every Airman matters and every single Airman has a role to play and makes a difference,” Foster said. Airmen should think about all the different ways they can #BeThere for friends, family, fellow service members, and veterans. Other helpful resources are the Wingman Toolkit and the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-8255

A 10-minute test: JBLE PJ delivers daughter By Tech. Sgt. Katie Gar Ward 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

When U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Travis Shaw left for work the morning of Aug. 9, he couldn’t have imagined that just hours later, his combat lifesaving skills would be tested in an emergency situation most pararescue specialists don’t traditionally encounter. But rather than treating a service member on the battlefield, Shaw found himself helping his wife deliver their daughter, Clara Elyse, at the bottom of the staircase in their home in Yorktown, Virginia. Up until that day, Shaw, assigned to Air Combat Command, had never delivered a baby before. Pararescue specialists, or PJs, receive some obstetrics and gynecology experience during paramedic training, but their primary focus is on trauma relating to search, rescue, and personnel recovery, said Shaw. “I think most PJs would say that they are probably a lot more comfortable treating someone who has had two legs blasted off rather than delivering a baby. That’s my bread and butter, and I’m very comfortable with that,” he said. “I’ve had a little bit of OB-GYN experience while going through paramedic training, but that was about 10 years ago. But it’s funny how it all comes back to you.” And with only 10 minutes elapsing from when his wife Shalina’s water broke to when baby Clara was born, those skills had to come back quickly. Shaw decided to only work a few hours that morning rather than a whole day, and it was only 30 minutes prior to delivery that Shaw called the hospital to notify them of her sporadic contractions. “It went from just sort of irregular here and there to really strong, it’s happening right now,” said Shalina. “And about 5 to 10 minutes later, [Shalina] had a strong contraction and her water broke,” said Shaw. Even though Shaw called 911, it was clear to him from the increase in Shalina’s contractions that Clara was not going to wait for emergency medical technicians to arrive. “Right after that, I rushed down to put the bags in the car, anticipating that we were going to leave soon,”

The Shaw family experienced a unique situation when their daughter Clara was born in their home in Yorktown, Va., Aug. 9, 2016. With only 10 minutes between her water breaking and the birth, Shalina Shaw said she had no doubt her husband, U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Travis Shaw Air Combat Command, pararescue specialist, would be able to deliver Clara safely.

Shalina Shaw holds her newborn daughter, Clara, in her home in Yorktown, Va. Aug. 25, 2016. Shalina gave birth to Clara at the bottom of her staircase, and her husband U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Travis Shaw, Air Combat Command pararescue specialist, relied on his medical training to help deliver Clara.

said Shaw. “She had another contraction while I was down here, and I went up and brought her down the stairs and literally we got right here,” said Shaw, gesturing to the bottom of the stairs, “and she said ‘It’s

coming right now!’” “And she came right out,” said Shalina. Luckily Shalina’s mother was visiting and began helping Shaw where she could, which entailed grabbing towels and keeping the couple’s 3-year-old son Nolan away from the commotion. After delivering Clara, Shaw set her down on a blanket and waited for emergency medical services to arrive. He was initially concerned about Clara’s breathing due to some mucous in her mouth, and when EMS came, Shaw’s emergency medical instincts were still in full swing. “I was in ‘PJ mode’ – I’d say 80 percent PJ, 20 percent dad,” he said. “I started barking orders at [EMS], ‘I need some [oxygen] and some suction!’ They were giving me this funny look, and one of the medics asked, ‘Are you the dad?’ They actually thought I was a provider from one of the other fire stations.” Three weeks have passed since baby Clara’s birth in the family’s home, and both Shaw and Shalina say the events of that day are still very vivid. Even though delivering Clara in the hospital would have been more ideal, Shalina said she was completely comfortable with the situation. “Knowing he has the medical background that he has, and the abilities to asses the situation and make

September 16, 2016 sure everything is alright…I just sort of expect that from you, to be commanding and know what you are doing, so it wasn’t surprising to me,” said Shalina as she looked at her husband. “I have complete trust in his abilities, so I was never worried about anything.” Shaw echoed his wife’s sentiments. “When I went through my paramedic training to become a PJ, I was thinking the training would be mostly for my brothers and sisters in arms. I feel real fortunate that the Air Force has given me the opportunity to have all [those] skills and knowledge, because it definitely came in handy here,” said Shaw. “[Clara] turned out just fine. That’s the most important part, and so that when you look back on it, now we have a cool story to tell.”

DOD makes prescription drug disposal easy for beneficiaries By Terri Moon Cronk

abuse,” he said. The Drug Take Back program is in line with the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy efforts to decrease prescription drug and opioid abuse, Jones noted. Proper medicine disposal also reduces the amount of drugs that seep into the environment through water supplies and landfills when thrown into the trash, he said, adding that practicing good medication habits can improve one’s health.

How it works, what’s accepted

DOD NEWS, DEFENSE MEDIA ACTIVITY

Defense Department health care beneficiaries can now safely and easily dispose of expired and unused medications by bringing them to a military treatment facility or, in some cases, picking up a mailing envelope from the installation to send for destruction of the medications free of charge, Dr. George Jones, the chief of the Defense Health Agency’s Pharmacy Operations Division, said Sept. 12. The new Drug Take Back program allows for disposal of expired and unused prescription and overthe-counter medications to cut the risks of accidental or even intentional drug misuse for medications such as opioids, Jones said. “DOD and the (Military Health System) are committed to reducing the risk of prescription and overthe-counter drug abuse in the military community, supporting the nation’s efforts to reduce opioid

Military medical facility pharmacies can accept legal prescription and over-the-counter bottled pills, tablets and capsules, ointments, creams, lotions, powders and liquid medications that are no more than 4 ounces, Jones said, adding that pet medications are also included in the program. Patients can take drugs to their military treatment facility or send them by mail in a special envelope available at some pharmacies, he said. A partial list of items that are not accepted for disposal by pharmacies include aerosol spray cans, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, needles, syringes, sharps containers, trash, mercury thermometers, batteries and chemicals. Jones said the Environmental Protection Agency has guidelines on disposing such items. “It’s an opportunity for patients to get (drugs) out of their medicine cabinets, cars, homes or wherever they may have medications stored,” he said, adding that

disposing of outdated drugs also keeps them away from children.

DOD first to have nationwide program A 2014 change in rules at the Drug Enforcement Administration now permits military treatment facilities to accept and dispose of medications. The DOD became the first federal agency that “leaned forward” and put the program in place nationwide for its beneficiaries, he noted. “DOD is a subset of the population as a whole. If there is a concern across the population at large, it could be an issue for our beneficiaries. We wanted to ensure the opportunity was there for our patients. Expired (medications) and drugs that are sitting around could create the chance for misuse,” Jones said. Additionally, medicinal expiration dates exist for a reason, and Jones encourages people to watch dates on medication packaging to make sure they get the desired results of the medicine, rather than an unexpected reaction. The DOD has participated with law enforcement and the DEA for many years in drug take-back events, said Cmdr. Phung Nguyen of the U.S. Public Health Service, a pharmacist at DHA’s Pharmacy Operations Division. “We’ve so far collected over 60,000 pounds of drugs for disposal in DOD alone since January 2014,” Nguyen said. “It’s a fully recognized program. We’ve always worked with DEA and felt this effort was necessary.” MILITARY SAVINGS OVER

In Japan people believed this ancient bird lived for a 1,000 years. Legend has it that, if you fold 1000 paper cranes, your prayers will be answered. Volunteers of the Walk have folded this many with our prayers for peace, not only for those who presently suffer from depression but also for those who have died by suicide.
