Child Passenger Safety Week:
JBLE hosts car seat checks By Airman 1st Class Kimberly Nagle 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, child safety seats can reduce the risk of death in passenger cars by 71 percent for infants and 54 percent for children ages 1 to 4. In support of National Child Passenger Safety Week, Joint Base Langley-Eustis fire departments hosted child car seat checks on Sept. 14 and 21. “We use this opportunity to provide the public with information on child seat installation,” said Douglas Faber, 733rd Civil Engineer Division assistant chief of fire prevention. “The biggest issues the car seat installers see are misuse and improper installation.” The installers were members of the JBLE fire departments certified by the Virginia Department of Health, and to install and inform on more than 40 different types of car seats. Dexter Craig, 733rd CED firefighter and paramedic, became a car seat technician because he was motivated by those around him to take his safety training to a new level. “As a first-aid and CPR-certified instructor, I felt it was a good choice to learn this aspect of safety,” said Craig. Staff Sgt. Patrick Wentz, 1st Maintenance Squadron aerospace ground equipment craftsman, said he attended the Langley “National Seat Check Saturday” to help give him peace of mind. “I wanted to be able to take my first child home safely,” said Wentz. “I will come in every time I need a new car seat installed.” The CDC suggests there is strong evidence that safety seat distribution, education programs, child safety seat laws and community-wide education campaigns are effective in increasing child safety seat use reducing the numbers of child passenger death due to improperly installed car seats. For more information or to get a car seat installed or checked, call the Langley Fire Department at 764-4091 or the Fort Eustis Fire Department at 878-4281.

The Joint Base Langley-Eustis fire departments hosted car seat checks on Sept. 14 and 21, in support of National Child Passenger Safety Week. Technicians checked the seats for expiration dates, recall possibilities and proper installation.
The CDC and Virginia Highway Safety Office offer the following statistics and tips for car seat safety: ■ In 2010, more than 1,200 children ages 14 and younger died as occupants in motor vehicle crashes, and approximately 171,000 were injured in the United States. ■ Booster seats reduce the risk for serious injury by 45 percent for children ages 4 to 8.

■ Child passengers should never be seated in front of an airbag. Airbags can injure or fatally injure children in a crash that may otherwise have been survivable. ■ The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommend all children should ride rear-facing until two years of age or as long as the safety seat manufacturer allows. ■ Every child passenger needs to be properly restrained in a safety seat, booster seat or seat belt. This means one seat belt for each safety seat or person. Do not share seat belts. ■ Never hold a child on your lap or allow anyone to ride in the cargo area of a station wagon, van or pickup. ■ Check safety seat labels for weight and height limitations. This will assist in picking the safety seat that is right for the child. ■ Each child safety seat needs to be tightly installed
with either a safety belt or LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) to hold it in place. ■ Check the safety seat instructions and the ve-

ARM YOURSELF FOR OPPORTUNITY WITH A CYBERSECURITY DEGREE. Photo by Airman 1st Class R. Alex Durbin
Due to ďŹ scal constraints, operating at maximum efďŹ ciency has become a primary goal for every unit at Joint Base Langley-Eustis.While many units work internally to reach this goal, U.S. Air Force Hospital Langley and McDonald Army Health Center need help from their patients to ensure every dollar health care facilities spend goes towards the community's welfare by avoiding missed appointments.

To win the battle in cyberspace, we need more cyber warriors. University of Maryland University College (UMUC) has answered the call, educating the next generation of cybersecurity specialists in the public and private sectors. Our accessible on-site and online degree programs have been recognized for excellence by NSA and DHS. And many of UMUC’s courses address industry-standard certifications, including several on the DoD 8570 list. UMUC is affordable, too, with scholarships for those who qualify, a no-interest monthly payment plan and participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Because the nation’s battle for cybersecurity can’t afford to be without you.

Operating at maximum efďŹ ciency has become a primary goal for every unit at Joint Base Langley-Eustis due to ďŹ scal constraints. While many units work internally to reach this goal, U.S. Air Force Hospital Langley and McDonald Army Health Center need help from their patients to ensure every dollar health care facilities spend goes towards the community’s welfare by avoiding missed appointments. “We have a saying here at MCAHC,â€? said U.S. Army Capt. Jose Sanfeliz, MCAHC clinical support division chief. “‘An appointment missed by you is an appointment missed by two.’ It means whenever someone misses their appointment, another person who was waiting for a slot could’ve been seen instead if the ďŹ rst patient had canceled the appointment.â€? At MCAHC, each missed clinical appointment costs about $70 due to time lost and prep-time for the patient. With 1,066 no-shows in July alone, MCAHC needlessly spent $75,000, said Sanfeliz. At USAF Hospital Langley, U.S. Air Force Maj. Andy Stewart, USAF Hospital Langley group practice manager, said Langley experiences similar numbers, and he explained how those numbers can be
“Whenever someone misses their appointment, another person who was waiting for a slot could’ve been seen instead if the ďŹ rst patient had canceled the appointment.â€? — U.S. Army Capt. Jose Sanfeliz MCAHC clinical support division chief even larger. “When we present our leadership with our funds lost to no-shows, they usually question why we have $675,000 to $1.1 million lost in a six-month period,â€? explained Stewart. “The reason behind the disparity comes from the surgeries we perform, and the possibility of treating a patient off the installation.â€? Surgeries at Langley can cost up to ďŹ ve times more than a standard clinical appointment. When someone doesn’t show for a surgery appointment, the hospital wastes around $400 in time and preparation costs. Furthermore, missing any appointment usually results in the no-show rescheduling the appointment anyways, which forces the hospital to pay twice for one appointment, said Stewart. SEE NO SHOW PAGE 6

MCAHC and Langley both have systems in place to prevent no-shows through rescheduling and cancellation. “Having people arrive on time, or cancel if they absolutely have to, could save us around $1 million a year,” said Sanfeliz. “The appointment line is open every day, so unless it is a last-minute emergency, anyone can save money by simply rescheduling.” Stewart and Sanfeliz both said cancelling or rescheduling in at least 24 hours could open up an appointment slot for another patient. MCACH and USAF Hospital Langley both utilize the Hampton Roads Appointment Center for appointment scheduling, so patients looking to cancel or reschedule their appointments can call the appointment line. In addition, patients can call clinics directly to cancel an appointment. In this time of fiscal responsibility, working together could mean the difference between breaking the budget and breaking even. Sanfeliz and Stewart said their patients have the ability to be that difference. To cancel or reschedule an appointment, call the Hampton Roads Appointment Center at 1-866-645-458 Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., and from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on holidays and weekends.

JBLE ‘tangos’ during Hispanic Heritage By Airman 1st Class Austin Harvill and Airman Areca Wilson 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
The U.S. military is one of the most diverse communities in the world. Hispanic Heritage Month presents an opportunity for Joint Base Langley-Eustis to commemorate and learn about one of the most prevalent cultures in the great American melting pot. “Hispanic Heritage Month is about celebrating the accomplishments of Hispanic people throughout American history,” said Tracy Campbell, Army Training Support Center program assistant. “From Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, we like to educate the community about Hispanic culture and its impact on our nation.” Fort Eustis and Langley Air Force Base both held luncheons in honor of the observance, as well as a multitude of other events and displays. The Langley Hispanic Heritage Committee coordinated with the Langley Child Development Center to read to the children once a week from Sept. 17 to Oct. 8 on topics about Hispanic culture.

U.S. Army Capt. Nyraliz Sanabria-Rivera, Quartermaster Officer Leader Course instructor, talks about her experience growing up in Puerto Rico and later becoming a Soldier during the Hispanic Heritage Month luncheon at Fort Eustis, Sept. 24.
To bring awareness to the fitness community, the HHC organized a Hispanic Heritage 5k and 10k Fun Run Sept. 25. The “Taster’s Choice” event Oct. 18 tempted the palates of Langley food connoisseurs with a variety of authentic Latin dishes. The HHC will close the observance month with a luncheon Oct. 13 at
11 a.m. at the Langley Club. The HHC was not alone in coordinating all of these events. With the help of the Langley community both on and off base, the HHC could truly make the observance events memorable, said U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Jose Perez, Headquarters Air Combat Command Directorate of Maintenance and Logistics Command aerospace ground equipment manager. “All these events are possible thanks to a very dynamic committee composed of Air Force personnel from different units throughout Langley,” said Perez. “The Taster’s Choice was possible thanks to food contributions made by 10 local Hispanic restaurants. They provided enough food to feed approximately 300 people with cuisine samples from multiple countries including Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Cuba.” For those looking forward to the luncheon on Oct. 13 at Langley, Perez said it will have displays of local talents and culture, and the guest speaker will be Chief Master Sgt. Rolando Pabon, 633rd Medical Group superintendent. Entertainment will be provided by Rhythm in
Blue showcasing some Hispanic musical classics ideal for a historic perspective on Hispanics in the U.S. military. At Fort Eustis, community members had an opportunity to dine on traditional Hispanic foods while listening to Forte’ Trio, a local jazz band. Before the meal, Melissa Walker, a violinist, played music and Capt. Nyraliz Sanabria-Rivera, Quartermaster Basic Officer Leader Course instructor, spoke about her experiences growing up in Puerto Rico and later joining the Army. In addition, the Newport News Woodside High School Dance Magnet performed a variety of dances representing different Hispanic nations and cultures. To continue the awareness for the rest of the observance month, General Stanford Elementary School students crafted artwork for display at the Exchange for the next two weeks. The true goal of every Hispanic Heritage Month event is to not only showcase the beautiful dances, traditional music and the exotic tastes of Hispanic culture, but to celebrate the diversity that makes JBLE such a strong team.

Eighty three thousand. That is how many U.S. Service members were taken as prisoners of war or listed as missing in action in conicts around the world since World War II. The Joint Base Langley-Eustis community honored those brave warriors during the installation’s fourth annual POW/MIA remembrance ceremony at Langley Air Force Base Sept. 19 and 20. Beginning Sept. 19 at 10 a.m., the Air Force Sergeant’s Association Chapter 358 kicked off the events with a 24-hour POW/ MIA Flag Run-Relay. More than 200 runners formed into teams to carry the POW/ MIA ag around Langley’s running trail continuously for 24 hours, passing it from team to team at one-hour intervals. “Reecting on what others have sacriďŹ ced makes every step of the run or walk worth it and the next step that much easier,â€? said U.S Air Force Master Sgt. Rachel Singletary, 633rd Surgical Operations
Squadron radiolog gy ight chief, about participating in the ru un. “If members show up at least once, I gu uarantee they come back every year to sho ow their respect for all POWs/MIAs in some way. It is a small way to say thank you.â€? ded Sept. 20 with the ďŹ The run conclud nal ag relay team making their way to the orial and presenting the POW/MIA memo ag to Master Sgt. Jeffrey Koenig, 633rd Air Base Wing Protocoll superintendent, and the Langley Air Force B Base Honor Guard. Upon receiving the iconiic black and white ag, Koenig and the Ho onor Guard raised the ag to begin the remem mbrance ceremony. The ceremony’s h honored guests included former POWs such h as retired U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. A Alcide Benini, a World War II POW, retired U..S. Army Staff Sgt. Daniel Fenton, a Koreaan War POW, and guest speaker retired U.S.. Army Brig. Gen. Rhonda Cornum, an Operattion Desert Storm POW. Cornum spoke ab bout her experiences as a POW and her mind dset during her captivity, emphasizing the im mportance of mental and emotional preparation as a key to survival
not only as a POW, but in life. She said she learned to turn disadvantages into advantages while detained by Iraqi forces. Following Cornum’s speech, Benini joined Col. John Allen, 633rd ABW commander, in laying a ceremonial wreath on the memorial, representing the nation’s continued commitment to remembering POWs and those MIA. “Upon entering the military, we voluntarily took an oath. We made a personal commitment to our country to protect and defend our American freedoms, to live by a set of military rules and standards agreed upon, to defend our great nation and principles. Our honored guests exempliďŹ ed this commitment,â€? said Staff Sgt. Victor Cruz, Air Combat Command installation and mission support, non commissioned ofďŹ cer in charge of executive assistance. “You strengthen our resolve to account for all still missing, and remind us to remember those who could not be with us today. You are true heroes.â€? For more information about the nation’s POW and MIAs, visit the Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel OfďŹ ce website at http://www.dtic.mil/dpmo.

As the roughly 15,000 Air Force Marathon runners who competed Sept. 21 can attest, form and efďŹ ciency are key to running. Mentoring and guidance can mean the difference between ďŹ nishing and suffering an injury. One of Service members’ most vital duties is to maintain physical ďŹ tness to complete any mission. As medical technology advances and transforms, it offers increasing uses to improve everyday life. At the Health and Wellness Center at Langley Air Force Base, the staff uses advancing technology and gait analysis to help Service members improve their running, from their foot angle to their arm swing. According to Tony Arroyo, HAWC exercise physiologist, gait testing is an assessment used to determine biomechanical abnormalities that may impact performance. The 30-minute test allows an exercise

HAWC FROM PAGE 14 At the HAWC, exercise physiologists use three cameras to observe a runner’s gait, frame-by-frame, to provide advice and personalized information to improve running fundamentals, giving Service members the tools they need to increase performance with the same energy output, said Arroyo. “Our goal is to find [the patient’s] most efficient way of running,” said Arroyo. “We gather information to help them correct their form or give them advice to improve it.” To accomplish this, analysts use footage of patients walking, jogging and running on a treadmill, with and without shoes. The runner performs each segment for approximately two minutes. Once the recordings are completed, the exercise physiologist goes through footage with the runner to give an indepth analysis, identifying posture, stride and foot angle. “We look at the runner’s overall performance to provide personalized, individual advice,” said Arroyo. “We strive to give runners the tools and resources they need to run at their optimum ability.” With the footage, the exercise physiologists not only offer advice to improve performance through proper running style, but they can determine which type of running shoe will benefit the patient’s style and foot arch. Although increasing efficiency is important, Arroyo said the testing can offer more important results. “Inefficient running slows down your run time, but more importantly, it can lead to injuries,” said Arroyo. “Our ultimate goal is to save our patients from hurting themselves.” Once the walk-through is complete, the analyst sends the patient footage and exercises to improve running form. Arroyo said it is paramount for runners to take full advantage of the HAWC’s services. “Gait testing is a huge benefit for our active-duty population,” he said. “[This assessment] is here to help [Service members] improve and maintain readiness and reach their full potential – and be safe while they’re doing it.” For more information or to register, call the HAWC at 764-6321.

Three men in lederhosen played ‘Oompha’ music for the crowd gathered inside the large beer tent. At every table, participants raised steins, exclaiming “Zum Fuhl!” and “Prosit!”, placing their large plates of fried potatoes, cornish hens and vegetable medleys on the crowded tables. For members of the Fort Eustis community, this German celebration came to life Sept. 20 during the annual Oktoberfest celebration. “Oktoberfest is a German holiday celebrating the fall season,” said John Volkers, 733rd Force Support Division director. “Here at Fort Eustis, we hold our own Oktoberfest with all of the trappings. We had a live ‘Oompha’ band, the Happy Dutchmen, traditional German food, like brats and half-chickens and of course, beer.” The food, drink and music were only small aspects of the large festival. It also included two bounce houses, face painting and mini-games available to children, and a “wind tunnel money booth” was available for those wishing to try their luck.

“I have never been to any kind of Oktoberfest before, so this was a new experience for me. The food was tasty, the music was authentic and the atmosphere was really festive.

OKTOBERFEST FROM PAGE 16 “The event was open to everyone who wanted to have a good time,” said Volkers. “These events are meant to raise morale and show appreciation to our Service members, so the more the merrier!” For those who couldn’t get enough Oktoberfest fun, Fort Eustis also hosted a “Kinderfest,” fall festival. In addition to the bouncy houses, face painting and games, children, or “Kinder,” participated in arts, crafts and other youth activities. When the “Oompha” music died down and the last of the food was picked over, Fort Eustis community members happily gave one last “Prosit!” and left the beer tent. Although the festival may be over, Volkers and the 733rd FSD are already looking for another opportunity to give Service members of Fort Eustis the good times they deserve, and plan to continue the Fort Eustis Oktoberfest tradition.

The Army doesn’t know what the global environment will look like in 2030, but it’s going to have to conduct operations when called upon. To prepare, the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command conducted a Unified Quest Deep Futures Wargame at Carlisle Barracks, Pa., Sept. 16-20. The wargame took predictions about the future strategic environments, from insights from the National Intelligence Council 2030 study and other sources including the Army’s own studies. It used that environment as the foundation for two teams to independently wargame the same scenario. While the future strategic environment is unsure, the Army’s wargame worked on a future model predicted by using 40 geostrategic, military, science and technology trends. Included in future predictions were the effects of expanding nation states, nonstate actors that include groups like Hezbollah and al Qaeda, non-government agencies and even large global corporations. Also included in the predictions were the effects of climate change, shifting demographics, urbanization, information and technological trends, said Maj. Gen. Bill Hicks, Army Capabilities Integration Center deputy director. “What you see in terms of the environment – because of this interconnection, which is also reflected in the globalized nature of our society and the increasing technological dependence of global society – [are] events unfolding more quickly,” Hicks said. “You see the second- and third-order effects of those events impacting on a wider scale. That drives us to consider how we influence those events at speed – arrest their acceleration, control those events and try to restore to some degree of stability an area that has gone ‘tilt.’” One team involved in the wargame was equipped as today’s Army, as it is expected to be in 2030. The other team was equipped with “things that are possible but not yet programmed into the Army,” said Hicks. “One of the outcomes of the more tech-

nologically enabled force is that they can respond in the game more rapidly,” Hicks said. “They can cut the time in half, or maybe two-thirds. It allows the political leadership to respond very rapidly. If the event can be responded to over a longer period of time, what we are really doing is giving the president, the secretary and others more political space to maneuver.” While the two teams worked through the challenges of a theoretical conflict more than 17 years in the future, each using a different capability set, they developed insights into how today’s Army can better prepare for an uncertain future. Hicks said this wargame focused on two operational issues; one is the “imperative of speed.” Key findings of the emerging operating environment is the “momentum of human interaction.” Hicks said that includes the information amassed and ideas that can be shared by people through the use of technology, as well as the ability to organize and take action. “That momentum is something we see accelerating into the future which will compress the decision space of our political leadership and drive the imperative for Army forces to be able to respond to it and influence events,” Hicks said. “This creates options both militarily, and, potentially, we should be able to provide more decision space to our political leadership.”
