Editors Note: This story is part of an ongoing series that covers many of the cities surrounding Langley Air Force Base and Fort Eustis. It isn’t often that a person gets the opportunity to walk the same streets as George Washington. Fortunately, for residents of York County, this unique experience is an everyday occurrence. Located on the Virginia Peninsula between the James and York Rivers, the 108-square-mile county also boasts more than 200 miles of coastline. “Our entire waterfront area was developed in 2005 to include both shopping and dining options for our guests,” said Kristi Olsen, York County tourism development manger. “We also have events held there round that are free to attend.” Waterfront visitors can participate in guided tours, as well as fishing or sailing charters – all of which are offered at a minimum 10 percent discount for military personnel and their families. York County also includes miles of sandy beaches, perfect for a day in the sun with the family. “If you are a beach lover, our beach is a gem that not many people know about,” said James Noel, York County Office of Economic Development director. “It’s got great amenities, and the opportunities are endless.” Visitors can also check out the Waterman’s Museum, which showcases the lifestyle of those who make their living on the Yorktown waterfront. The influence of those early watermen, featured by the museum, is still present, in the form of seafood processing and ship building and repair.
Heritage Spotlight

Historic Yorktown offers visitors a glimpse of history as they walk the same streets as Gen. George Washington and learn about the American Revolution and Civil War. It is also home to the world class museum, Yorktown Victory Center, which is a living-history museum.
Just a few blocks from the waterfront sits the Yorktown Victory Center, Historic Yorktown and the Yorktown Battlefield. Some history showcased at these museums include how the port of Yorktown, which still remains the seat of government, was the site of the final battle of the American Revolution. Yorktown also played an important role during the Civil War, serving as a major port to supply both northern and southern towns, depending on who held the city at the time. “Yorktown Victory Center [is a recreated living history museum] and the Yorktown battlefield are both world-class museums,” said Olsen. “They do a phenomenal job of bringing history alive.” Additionally, the Victory Center mu-
seum focuses on all aspects of the Civil War and is currently building a brand new museum, called “The American Revolution Museum,” which will feature artifacts telling the whole story of the Revolutionary War. According to the Yorktown tourism website, visitors wanting to tour Historic Yorktown should begin their visit inside The Gallery at York Hall, where they can pick up brochures, maps, coupons and hop on a free trolley to see points of interest, attractions and museums. To show their appreciation of Service members and their families, York County offers military members free admission on July Fourth, Memorial Day, Yorktown day and Veterans Day. SEE YORK PAGE 11
Oct. 17, 1781: The Siege of Yorktown
The Siege of Yorktown was a decisive victory by a combined force of American Continental Army troops led by General George Washington and French Army troops led by the Comte de Rochambeau over a British Army commanded by British lord and Lieutenant General, Charles Cornwallis. As the culmination of the Yorktown campaign, the siege proved to be the last major land battle of the American
Revolutionary War in North America. On the morning of Oct. 17, 1781, after heavy bombardment and increased attacks by American and French forces, as well as the unsuccessful evacuation and escape attempt across the York River by the British, Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown. The capture of both him and his army prompted the British government to negotiate an end to the conflict.

3HUVRQQHO LQIRUPDWLRQ GXULQJ JRYHUQPHQW VKXWGRZQ From the 633rd Air Base Wing Public Affairs Office The government shutdown is still in effect. Fortunately, nearly 90 percent of furloughed Department of Defense civilian employees were asked to return to work per guidance from Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel. This includes most civilians working at Joint Base Langley-Eustis. “This is significant because our civilian workforce contributes extraordinary talent, commitment and mission expertise in support of our Service members and our mission,” said Col. John J. Allen Jr., 633rd Air Base Wing commander. Still, while several services around both installations returned to normal earlier this week, many others remain affected by the shutdown.
Military and civilian pay As of press time, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service confirmed that military and civilian members will receive their pay on time under the Pay for Our Military Act signed by the president Sept. 30. DFAS was given authority to pay primarily all military pay and allowances for Oct. 15 payments, with primary exclusions including inactive duty training (IDT) activities. “POMA allows us to provide pay and allowances for civilians who provide support for members of the Armed Forces,” said Robert Hale, DOD comptroller and chief financial officer. Pay for the four furlough days will be delayed until a budget or continuing resolution funding government operations is passed and signed into law. “From day one, our primary focus has been to rapidly get as many people back to work as soon as possible, and we will continue those efforts. We are a team, a family - [we] always have been,” said Eric K. Fanning, acting secretary of the Air Force. “We will not be a fully-functioning organization until the last member returns.” Health care benefits continue, regardless of furlough status, according to the Office of Personnel Management’s guidance on emergency furlough procedures. During furlough, unpaid health, vision and dental premiums are paid in full when normal pay resumes.
According to Army and Air Force PCS move guidance, no stop movements have been issued. Service members who had PCS orders in hand prior to Oct. 1 will be allowed to proceed with their PCS. As of press time, PCS orders dated on or after Oct. 1 for technical or flying training, accessions and separations are authorized. No other PCS orders will be authenticated until obligation authority is received. All other Service members should continue with the PCS process, but must wait for funding to be authenticated before they are able to complete their move. Continual communication with outbound assignment personnel is highly encouraged. Moves with an order date on or after Oct. 1 will be limited as follows: ■ Moves to an excepted activity will continue. ■ Moves from an excepted activity will continue only to the extent the commander of the excepted activity determines it essential to the mission or required to enhance support. ■ Accession and training moves associated with recruitment and initial entry raining will continue, along with subsequent movement to first station. ■ All movements to comply with separation instructions will continue.
Thrift Savings Plan
Temporary Duty (TDY) travel
The Thrift Savings Plan and Federal Employees Retirement System, which are part of civilian employees’ retirement benefits, will continue investment activities during the government shutdown, even if contributions from civilians cease, according to a release from the Thrift Savings Plan board.
All TDY travel must be approved by a wing commander or higher. The only travel currently being approved is for those in direct support of the war in Afghanistan, or travel related to safety of life and property protection, and travel related to foreign relations.
Permanent change of station (PCS) travel
Commissaries
Morale, welfare and recreation and non-appropriated fund activities
Stateside commissaries that closed due to the government shutdown resumed normal operations effective Oct. 7. While commissaries are back to their normal operating schedules, it may take three to five business days to get the shelves fully stocked, depending on store size.
Operations necessary to support “excepted activities” (activities or programs that were not affected by furlough or shutdown) will continue. Examples of these excepted activities include operation of dining facilities, physical training and child care activities required to support readiness.
Local installation updates ID and Access Services Langley Military Personnel Flight ■ MPF Customer Service functions will remain shut down until further notice. ■ No change in normal operations of the Force Management, Career Development and NAF HR offices. ■ For more information, contact 2251816.

In the sci-fi realm, cryogenics is popularly used in preserving human remains to be revived in another era. As fascinating as the concept of life after ice may be, the 379th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron cryogenics shop applies practical uses of this science supporting operations through the entire U.S. Air Forces Central Command area of responsibility. “Liquid oxygen is mainly used for aircraft to support the breathing systems and liquid nitrogen is typically used to cool down equipment,” said Senior Airman John Justiniano, a 379th ELRS cryogenics technician deployed from Joint Base Langley-Eustis, and hails from New York City, N.Y.

Millions of Americans are victims of identity theft and credit fraud each year, and Airmen are no exception. Identity theft occurs when someone steals another’s personal information and uses it without permission. Credit fraud happens when someone steals another’s credit information and opens accounts in that name. Resolving these issues not only takes time and money, but can also leave victims with damaged finances and credit histories. Thieves are resourceful, with many ways of finding or acquiring user’s personal information. While there is no way to completely prevent identity theft and credit fraud, there are ways to reduce the risk of either happening.
Preventative measures Protecting personal information before a problem arises can decrease the chances of becoming a victim of identity theft or credit fraud. Some of these easy steps can become regular habits that make the theft of personal identity more difficult for potential thieves. ■ Destroy records containing personal information. Many thieves obtain personal information by rummaging through garbage, both personal and private. Consider shredding or tearing up any credit card statements, paid bills, documents containing your personal information, and even junk mail with names and addresses on them. ■ Secure mail. Thieves may attempt to access mailboxes and their contents before the mail carrier, so regularly checking and emptying mailboxes is critical. Additionally, consider locking mailboxes or obtaining a post office box for increased security. Mailing bill payments and financially-sensitive items from a secured mailbox or post office can also limit thieves’ ability to access these items. ■ Protect Social Security numbers. Social Security numbers are among the most personally identifiable pieces of information – and can provide the
Many thieves obtain personal information by rummaging through garbage, both personal and private. Consider shredding or tearing up any credit card statements, paid bills, documents containing your personal information, and even junk mail with names and addresses on them. gateway to a victim’s identity. Do not carry Social Security cards in purses or wallets, as they can easily be stolen or lost. Service members should avoid showing their military IDs for identification purposes, as their SSN may be printed on the back. Consider using another form of state-issued identification instead. ■ Monitor credit reports. Each person is entitled to one free annual credit report from each of the three reporting agencies: Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. To request a report, visit AnnualCreditReport.com or call 1-877-322-8228. Users may also request a free report from each agency on a rotating basis, allowing them to check every four months. Checking more than once a year can allow users to spot discrepancies or alerts early. Review the report carefully for problems, be able to identify and recognize each account on the report, and keep alert for any unauthorized credit checks. This can be the first sign of an identity issue. When requesting a report, users
will have to provide their name, address, SSN, date of birth, and answers to personal questions regarding their financial history. Each company may ask different questions to ensure security. Companies may charge a fee for additional reports. To request a report, contact: Equifax: 1-800-685-1111 or www.equifax.com; Experian: 1-888-397-3742 or www.experian.com; or TransUnion: 1-800-9168800 or www.transunion.com. ■ Closely monitor credit card statements and bank accounts. Look for unauthorized and unrecognized charges or withdrawals on bank statements. Thieves may only need a credit card number to make purchases, without stealing other elements of a user’s identity. Banks sometimes monitor for such fraudulent charges, but it is ultimately the cardholder’s responsibility to report problems. Do not rely on the bank to check on accounts.
Signs of a Problem As you are taking the recommended steps to prevent the theft of your information, it is important to be on guard for any signs of a problem so you can spot it early. Watch for unexplained charges to or withdrawals from your bank accounts, unfamiliar accounts or charges on your credit report, or debt collector calls regarding debts that you didn’t incur. Also look out for IRS notices indicating that multiple tax returns were filed under your name for the same year, as a thief may be trying to obtain a refund. Immediately check your accounts if you receive notice of a data breach or security compromise at a company where you do business or have an account. Finally, be on the lookout for merchants not accepting your checks, medical providers sending you bills for services you didn’t use, or health plans rejecting your insurance claims because records indicate you have already reached your benefit limit. These may all be signs that someone is attempting to use your information. SEE IDENTITY PAGE 7

IDENTITY FROM PAGE 6
Steps to take If users suspect their identity or information has been stolen, there are several steps to take as soon as possible. â– Contact the credit reporting agencies. Upon noticing a problem, users should call one of the reporting agencies to ask them to put an initial fraud alert on their credit report. This agency will alert other agencies, making it harder for thieves to open more accounts in the user’s name. Any business must verify a user’s identity by contacting them before it issuing credit if there is an alert on the user’s account. Ensure agencies have correct contact information. For civilians, this alert will remain on their account for 90 days, renewable for an additional 90 days after that period expires. Active duty Service members can request an Active Duty Fraud Alert that lasts one year. If a user provides evidence, such as a police report, they can request that the alert last for seven years. An alert also entitles users to request an additional free credit report from each of the reporting agencies, even if they have already requested a free annual report. Record the date of the call, and keep copies of any correspondence. â– Contact the companies through which the thieves opened accounts. Users can call the company involved and ask to speak to their fraud or security departments to report the fraud. If there is an unauthorized charge on their bank account or credit card, account holders should call the bank involved to request that those charges be removed. Record the dates of any conversations or letters, follow up all oral communication in writing, and keep copies of all correspondence. Send all correspondence by certiďŹ ed mail, and ask for a return receipt. â– File an Identity Theft Report. Even though it is very difďŹ cult to catch a thief who, by deďŹ nition, is not using his own identity, ďŹ ling a report with the Federal Trade Commission and local law enforcement will help protect users going forward. Users can use these reports to get fraudulent information removed from credit reports, stop debt collection resulting from the theft, place an extended fraud alert on credit reports, and get information from companies about accounts opened or misused. To ďŹ le a complaint with the FTC, visit www.ftc.gov/ complaint, complete as much of the form as possible, and save the complaint reference number. Save and/or print a copy of the afďŹ davit. Users can also call the FTC at 1-877438-4338 or 1-866-653-4261 to give their report to a representative. Ask for a copy of the reference number and afďŹ davit password, as users can go online and print a copy of your afďŹ davit. Next, ďŹ le a police report. Bring a copy of the afďŹ davit, any other proof of the theft, a governmentissued photo ID, and proof of address to the police department. Ask for a copy of the report for records. By taking preventative measures and remaining vigilant, users can greatly reduce the risk of becoming a victim of identity theft and credit fraud. However, there is no way to completely prevent identity theft and credit fraud. For assistance, make an appointment to visit the Law Center during legal assistance hours by calling 764-3277.

Flood water churned violently beneath the Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopter’s twin rotors as it cut through the smoky skyline. After landing on the torn but level concrete near a local community center, its ramp lowered and Soldiers began unloading much-needed supplies. For the Soldiers on board, this mission was only the latest in a long line of tasks, ranging from casualty evacuation to ďŹ reďŹ ghting. While most aviation units have separate attack, troop transport and medical helicopters, allowing them to accomplish special missions, the 5th Battalion, 159th Aviation Regiment, stationed at Fort Eustis, is different from every other brand of aviation unit. They can do it all. “This airframe can do pretty much whatever we need it to do,â€? said U.S. Army Capt. Hector Rodriguez, 159th Avn. Reg., B Company commander. The CH-47 can carry up to 33 personnel, 20,000 pounds internally or externally and, with the proper load out, it can even help ďŹ ght ďŹ res. Rodriguez said the CH-47 airframe is perfect for the unit, which ďŹ nds itself lifting off when others need support. “Our main mission has always been heavy-lift transportation,â€? said Rodriguez. “When your standard convoys can’t reach a location, like in the Afghan mountains, we are called in to get the troops what they need to succeed.â€? With the ability to also carry containers externally, the CH-47 can haul anything from standard shipping containers to humvees - and everything in between. The CH-47 can also handle environmental restraints better than other choppers, said Rodriguez. “When other choppers like [Sikorsky UH-60] Blackhawks go up against the dry, hot conditions in a desert-combat environment, their lift capabilities are severely limit-
ed,� said Rodriguez. “Al-though the CH-47 may be on nditions, it can still affected by the adverse conditions, errs, and that means carry more than its brothers, err, putting fewer of the cargo can go out faster, our Soldiers in danger.� in n-rotor helicopter The sight of a big twin-rotor ng g to some, but a may not be intimidating yb bus.� If space alCH-47 is not just a “sky co ommodate a door lows, the CH-47 can accommodate t chopper and gunner on the ramp off the d right i h sides id off the h on the forward left and craft.

Instead of landing troops and artillery placements, the twin-rotor chopper can be used for standard cargo transport, ďŹ reďŹ ghting and casualty evactuation. “In the unfortunate event of a mass casualty situation, standard medical evacuation might not be expedient enough to save as many lives as possible,â€? said Rodriguez. “In that instance, my guys can load up our birds with litters and pick up all the people we can and transport them to a medical facility.â€? While the crew cannot provide as much medical attention as a medevac helicopter, it can still move casualties to a better location for treatment. Luckily for the unit, the chopper also has the ability to prevent mass casualty. With the ability to carry about 2,000 pounds of water, CH-47’s have been used to put out forest and structural ďŹ res. “If the emergency encompasses ďŹ re, you can guarantee we will have our ďŹ re buckets ready to deploy,â€? said Rodriguez. “If we arrive on scene right after the onset of a disaster, our ability to dump literally thousands of gallons of water can prevent casualties.â€? Once on site, Rodriguez and his team usually plan for 72 hours of ďŹ re prevention and casualty evacuation. Afterward, the unit stays as long as necessary to accommodate supply and personnel transport until the federal government or local civil authorities

Additionally, liquid oxygen is provided to medical evacuation teams to support critical patient care, Russell added. As the hub for receipt, maintenance and shipping of liquid oxygen and nitrogen, the 379th ELRS cryogenics shop saves the Air Force approximately $802,000 each year. All of the products are purchased locally and then air lifted to forward operating bases saving time and money needed to convoy trucks in and out of those locations, Russell explained. They also perform all of the sampling and maintenance, eliminating other cost factors. Upon delivery, the cryogenics Airmen take a gas sample from the truck and send it to the Air Force Petroleum Agency Fuels Laboratory for testing. “We have to make sure the sample is good and there are no contaminates prior to filling our tanks with the gas,” Justiniano said. “If there are contaminates, we have to deny it and get another receipt.” When tanks are needed to support operations, they are filled, inspected and staged at the cargo yard, he explained. The team is also responsible for hooking the tanks to the aircraft prior to take off. Cryogenics technicians work suited from head to toe protecting them from serious injuries caused by the extreme temperatures of the substances they handle. Comparable to a burn one could sustain from a fire, cryogenic burns can freeze and kill human skin and tissues. “It’s never fun to wear a snow suit when it’s 115 degrees outside, but for safety reasons, we do it anyway,” Russell said. “From hearing protection to the face shield; wearing personal protective equipment is a necessity. It’s like a football player wearing a helmet - you’ve got to wear it.” These Airmen provide a crucial product directly supporting air operations throughout the AOR. “My team works very hard every day to get the mission done,” Russell said. “Since our arrival, those who had little or no experience have become expert technicians who now complete the mission and make it look easy.”

Joyce Richmond, mother of U.S.Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Denise “Mik� Mikolajczyk, putts a golf ball during the 5th annual Langley Chief's Group “Chief Mik� Golf Tournament at Langley Air Force Base, Oct. 4.The tournament is held in honor of the late Chief Mik.
The Langley Chiefs Group held the annual “Chief Mikâ€? Golf Tournament at the Eaglewood Golf Course at Langley Air Force Base, Oct. 4. Approximately 100 golfers attended the tournament, raising more than $2,900 to aid Langley’s enlisted Airmen with scholarship programs, morale initiatives, ďŹ nancial aid, base and community activities and awards ceremonies. The tournament, named after U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Denise Mikolajczyk, or “Chief Mik,â€? who died in 2009 as a result of a benign tumor blocking her mitral valve, pays homage to her positive inuence and contributions to the Air Force. Those who knew Chief Mik regarded her as a model servant leader who always put Airmen ďŹ rst. Before pass-

ing away in 2009, Chief Mik was stationed at Langley Air Force Base and served as the Manpower Functional Manager for Headquarters Air Combat Command’s Directorate of Manpower, Personnel and Services. The Langley Chiefs Group made a pledge to keep Chief Mik’s spirit alive by holding an annual golf tournament to honor her legacy of serving and caring for Airmen. According to Chief Master Sgt. Bionca Lindsey, tournament organizer and Langley Chiefs Group representative, the goal for the event was to not only remember the legacy of Chief Mik, but represent her caring and serving spirit that impacted Airmen
and their families around the world. “We are hoping this event will bring out members of the base and community to spend time together and to pay respect to a fallen Airman and her family,� said Lindsey. “[By doing that] we hope to raise enough money to offset every request for aid we receive throughout the year for enlisted men and women.� Langley Airmen were not the only golfers in attendance. Joyce Richmond, Chief Mik’s mother, participated in the tournament and appreciated that her daughter’s passion for taking care of Airmen continues. SEE GOLF PAGE 11

GOLF FROM PAGE 10 “She was always trying to help somebody,” said Richmond. “The whole time Denise was in the Air Force, she [took care of] her fellow Airmen.” Although Richmond is proud of her daughter’s legacy, she’s more pleased the tournament reminds people of the importance Chief Mik placed in helping those in need. “It’s absolutely marvelous that the Chief’s Group named this tournament after Denise,” said Richmond. “This is our fifth year here, and it’s [inspiring] to see new people each time who have heard about her. I think the fact the tournament benefits enlisted personnel is the best possible memorial for Denise. That’s what she would have wanted.”

Jim Taccogno, a Joint Base Langley-Eustis spouse who suffers from ulcerative Colitis, carries his 20-monthold daughter, Jonsie, during the “Take Steps for Crohn’s & colitis Walk,� which took place at MountTrashmore in Virginia Beach, Oct. 6. Jonsie, Jim and his wife, U.S. Air Force Capt. Charee Taccogno, 633rd Medical Group family health clinic registered nurse, were part of a team from Langley Air Force Base who came to support the event.
“The hardest thing is the pain in my m joints. There are times when I can n’t even move in the morning.â€? Jim Taccogno, a Joint Base Langley-Eustis spouse who suffers from m ulcerative colitis, shook his head as a he described living with the diseasse for more than a decade. Between th he embarrassing and frequent restroom m breaks, abdominal cramps and paiin, Jim said he was ready to take a stan nd against the disease. He decided to take that stand Occt. 6. As Survivor’s “Eye of the Tigerrâ€? blasted through speakers at the starrting line at Mount Trashmore, in Viirginia Beach. Jim, his family and a team m of supporters from Langley Air Forcce Base, joined a large crowd of peop ple walking to combat Crohn’s diseasse and ulcerative colitis. The event, known as the “Take Step ps for Crohn’s & Colitis Walk,â€? was spon nsored by the Crohn’s and Colitis Foun ndation of America, a non-proďŹ t, volun nteer-driven organization committed to ďŹ nding cures for both diseases. Crohn’s disease is a chronic inam mmatory condition that affects the entiire gastrointestinal tract. colitis is a sim milar condition that affects only the colo on. Both diseases are often difďŹ cult to diagnose, leaving affected individuals in in ntense, sometimes debilitating, pain. Jim has been dealing with colitis since he was diagnosed a decade ago. Since then, he has experienced a multitude of symptoms on a rollercoaster of intenssity. After Jim and his family moved to Viirginia, his colitis intensiďŹ ed to the poin nt where he had to be hospitalized. “I was using the restroom about 25 2 times a day, nearly every hour,â€? he saiid. “I could barely move. I wasn’t sleepin ng. My joints hurt so bad I couldn’t eveen chew a banana.â€?

“It’s very hard to cope sometimes. It’s hard living with someone who is in chronic pain. We can’t really be spontaneous.� – Air Force Capt. Charee Taccogno 633rd Medical Group family health clinic registered nurse
After checking into U.S. Air Force Hospital Langley, Jim was diagnosed with severe dehydration and referred to a specialist in Richmond. So far, the treatments have been yielding posi-
tive results, but the Taccognos are well aware that colitis can be a degenerative disease. “It’s very hard to cope sometimes,� said Jim’s wife, Air Force Capt. Charee Taccogno, 633rd Medical Group family health clinic registered nurse. “It’s hard living with someone who is in chronic pain. We can’t really be spontaneous.� For Jim, colitis has limited his ability to hold a normal job, enjoy family outings and play tennis at the level he was accustomed at prior to his diagnosis. “I’ve been playing tennis my whole life,� he said. “Now, I have to teach myself what my new 100 percent is.
There are a lot of times I come home completely exhausted because I overexerted myself on the court.â€? Jim said the summer months, coupled with Virginia’s warm weather, have taken their toll on his condition, forcing him to limit his activities even further. “I’m not nearly as active as I used to be,â€? Jim said. “I just don’t recover anymore, especially in the summer.â€? Charee said that even though Jim’s treatments have been promising, the disease is so advanced that the next step would be to remove a portion of his colon, if medication fails. Learning to do spontaneous things on her own has been a difďŹ cult, but necessary, adjustment, as Jim works to reduce the level of stress in his own life. “Controlling symptoms can be directly impacted by how much stress a person carries around,â€? Charee said. “Right now, Jim has taken on the role of fulltime dad to our daughter, Jonsie.â€? When Jonsie was born, nearly 20 months ago, both her parents were worried that the disease could be passed genetically. Fortunately, even though Crohn’s and colitis affect roughly one in every 200 Americans, the diseases seem to be caused more by environmental factors, rather than hereditary ones. “Both of the kids I grew up next door to have colitis,â€? Jim said. “It’s hard to say what causes it. Each case is unique and we are still learning so much about the disease itself.â€? Both the awareness and ďŹ ght against the diseases were central themes at the walk that Jim, Charee and Jonsie all participated in. Jim said he had been looking for a support group, and this event was a big step toward achieving that goal. “It’s so easy to think that you are on your own little island,â€? Jim said. “I’m really amazed to see so many people here, rallying behind this cause.â€?

What you need to know: • What are Crohn’s & Colitis? Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are both major categories of Inammatory Bowel Diseases. IBD affects an estimated 1.4 million Americans. These chronic diseases tend to run in families and they affect males and females equally. • Crohn’s disease is a chronic inammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract and may affect any part from the mouth to the anus. • Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inammatory condition limited to the colon, otherwise known as the large intestine. • Both illnesses do have one strong feature in common. They are marked by an abnormal response by the body’s immune system. The immune system is composed of various cells and proteins. Normally, these protect the body from infection. In people with Crohn’s disease, however, the immune system reacts inappropriately.

Understanding when you should use urgent care From Health Net Federal Services
ARM YOURSELF FOR OPPORTUNITY WITH A CYBERSECURITY DEGREE.
TRICARE
Do you know when to use an urgent care clinic instead of an emergency room? Health Net Federal Services, LLC, the managed care contractor for the TRICARE North Region, wants to help Service members take charge of their health by providing information that may help in selecting the appropriate health care facility when needed. Urgent care is needed to prevent an injury or illness from becoming a serious health risk. Examples of urgent care conditions include a sprained ankle, persistent cold or sore throat. There are many benefits to using an urgent care clinic, as they are conveniently located and have shorter wait times than emergency rooms. It is appropriate to use an urgent care clinic when your primary care manager (PCM) is not available, such as after hours or on weekends. Urgent care is not the same as a medical emergency, which threatens life, limb or eyesight. If you or someone you know is experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. TRICARE Prime, TRICARE Prime Remote and TRICARE Young Adult Prime members need a referral before going to an urgent care clinic. To obtain a refer-
ral, beneficiaries should call their PCM or Military Treatment Facility (MTF). If you are unable to reach your PCM or MTF, call Health Net Federal Services at 1-877-TRICARE (1-877-874-2273). When TRICARE Prime, TRICARE Prime Remote and TRICARE Young Adult Prime members use an urgent care clinic without a referral, they are choosing the Point of Service option, which has higher out-of-pocket costs. The Point of Service option does not apply to active-duty Service members, so they may be responsible for the entire cost of care. To find an urgent care clinic, beneficiaries should use the Network Provider Directory to locate one near them. Type in the ZIP code, and under specialty, select “Urgent Care Center” or “Convenient Care Clinic.” You may also call 1-877-TRICARE (1-877-8742273) for assistance. For more information about urgent care, visit www.hnfs.com, then click “I’m a Beneficiary,” then “Urgent Care” from the “Authorizations” menu.
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.
OBESITY FROM PAGE 14 The goal of the Fort Eustis program is to combat the growing number of obese children and adults, said Shoemaker. Obese children have an 80 percent chance of becoming obese adults. As a result, they are more at risk for associated adult health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, stroke, cancer and osteoarthritis, according to the CDC. The financial implications add up to $14 billion per year in direct health care costs. Americans spend approximately 9 percent of their total medical costs on obesity-related illnesses. Additional-
ly, there are psychosocial consequences that can hinder academic and social functioning and persist into adulthood, said Shoemaker. “These severe consequences underscore the critical importance of children and teens to participate in physical activity and engage in healthy eating habits,” Shoemaker said. “Childhood obesity is entirely preventable. It’s up to adults to encourage these healthy habits.” Any families interested in participating in Kids Move should discuss the program with their primary care manager at McDonald Army Health Center. For more information, contact in the Pediatric Clinic at 878-7500.

SHE SNORES MORE THAN I DO, BUT I STILL LOVE MY HUMAN. — BANDIT adopted 11-26-09
Growing up with a life of adversity, even living in his car at times, was hard for U.S. Army Spc. Stephen Maynus, Fort Eustis chaplain assistant, but one thing that remained constant since middle school was his desire to be a Soldier. In addition to his aspirations to join the Army, Maynus wanted to help other people, even if it meant making sacrifices, but it wasn’t until he joined the Army that he found out about the chaplain assistant career field and how it could fulfill both desires That longing stayed with him through high school, but his family encouraged him to go to college and get his degree. Deciding to give college a chance, Maynus attended Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, N.Y. “I really didn’t know what I wanted to do besides join the Army, so I was just going to college for a [general] degree,” Maynus said. “I thought with the job market the way it was, I might be better off in the Army.” In 2010, President Barack Obama spoke to Maynus’ college. “While I was attending school, [President Obama] came and gave a speech about patriotism and selfsacrifice,” Maynus said. “After hear-

ing that speech and talking to the recruiters, I enlisted.” Maynus joined the Army in 2011 with the intent of becoming an explosive ordnance technician, but instead joined the chaplain assistant corps. “When I first signed up, I didn’t even know the chaplain assistant career field existed,” Maynus said. “I really wasn’t sure what to expect.” With just a little over a year in service, Maynus says it has already been a rewarding experience. “When I help people, it’s very real, and in some cases I can see the impact almost instantly,” he said. As a chaplain assistant, Maynus says he is a “jack of all trades.” In addition to the day-to-day tasks every Soldier accomplishes, he also provides many key services to Fort Eustis Soldiers.

ASSISTANT FROM PAGE 16 “We conduct suicide prevention training and pre-counseling meetings before individuals see the chaplain,” Maynus said. “I am also trained to respond and help [those] who may be dealing with suicidal thoughts.” According to Maynus, though he does not wear the cross on his uniform like a chaplain, he still takes his role very seriously. “Reputation is the currency of the chaplain corps and being respected is very important,” he said. “I’m an extension of my chaplain, and it’s rewarding when people trust you to help them even though I don’t wear the cross.” Maynus recalls a time when he was preparing to give a prayer before a noncommissioned officer induction ceremony that this trust was put into play. “We had a break before the ceremony got started and an NCO in the room brought over a Soldier to talk with me,” Maynus said. “Their unit had just lost someone and [the Soldier] was taking it hard and needed someone to talk to.” Despite his many duties and the long hours, there is one aspect of the job that

Maynus enjoys more than others. “I love being able to help other people exercise their religion in full,” he said. “When I can help others meet their spiritual needs, it fulfills me.” Whether helping people meet their spiritual needs or counseling his fellow Soldiers, Maynus knows his work isn’t just satisfying – it is a way to give back to the country he loves.

Fort Eustis spouse performs with choir on ‘America’s Got Talent’ By Staff Sgt. Wesley Farnsworth 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Singing has been Sonjia Penny’s passion since she first performed in a highschool talent show. Little did she know her voice would lead her to become a member of a musical choir performing on the reality television show “America’s Got Talent.” The American Military Spouses Choir is made up of 50 to 100 military spouses representing every branch of the military, from across the United States. The choir includes music teachers and directors, women with theater backgrounds and spouses who just love to perform. “I was at a spouses’ luncheon and another spouse had brought an email she received advertising auditions to perform at the Kennedy Center with [singer and songwriter] David Foster,” Penny said. “I love to sing, so I went over to check it out.” Penny said she loves being around other military spouses because they share similar experiences and are easily able to form strong bonds. When she found out she would be singing with other spouses at the Kennedy Center, she jumped at the chance. She went straight home that evening and sent an email to the choir’s organizers who put the call out. “About 48 other women were selected,” Penny said. “We met the day before the performance for the first time and started rehearsing.” After that performance, the group con-
“The audience in Chicago immediately started applauding when they announced we were part of a military spouses’ choir. It was then that I realized that we are not just representing ourselves, but every military spouse out there.” — Sonjia Penny military spouse at Fort Eustis who is a member of the Military Spouses Choir
tinued to practice. Less than a year later, they auditioned for “America’s Got Talent” in Chicago. “We had a little time to prepare for the auditions,” Penny said. “However, because we are scattered across the country, we normally practiced together via Skype, which is very interesting.” Penny says that the group got a nice surprise when they all walked out onto the stage in Chicago. “The audience in Chicago immediately started applauding when they announced we were part of a military spouses’ choir,” Penny said. “It was then that I realized that we are not just representing ourselves, but every military spouse out there.” After making the cut in Chicago, the group went to Las Vegas where judges immediately qualified them for the live shows held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. “I was shocked when I first heard we were going to be performing live,” Penny said. “But after that, I started to get re-

ally excited.” The group performed in two live shows in New York. But according to Penny, every day was different when it came to preparing for the show. “In the days prior to the show, you do a lot of vocal warm-ups, stage checks, wardrobe and whatever else the show needs,” Penny said. “You have to be very flexible because you don’t get your itinerary for the day until that morning.” Prior to participating, Penny said she had “no idea” how much went into a live taping, and what the contestants really saw while they were on stage. “It’s a surreal experience to be standing on stage watching the judges, knowing that you are on a live television show,” she added. After the show is over and the show’s judges have gave their critiques, voting opened up to viewers who called in or texted to vote on their favorite performance of the night. “When you are waiting for the voting to begin after you perform, you are won-

dering ‘will we get through?’ but then you get a sense of relief because the pressure is off. It’s all in the voter’s hands now,” Penny said. “We knew we did our best on stage and we were just thankful to be there and to have had the chance to perform on that stage where so many giants have been. Plus, it enabled us to get our story out there and bring awareness to the roles a military spouse plays.” Those nerves returned when it came time for the results show. “They do such a long pause to hype it up. It’s nerve-wracking,” she said. “I was shocked when we made it through the first performance,” Penny said. “But we were all okay when we didn’t make it through the second performance. There were no tears shed; we were just happy to have had the chance to perform.” Penny said even though their “America’s Got Talent” experience is over, the women still share a strong bond, and will continue to perform together. “It’s a wonderful group of women I perform with,” Penny said. “I’m really excited to see what the future holds for us.” Military spouses interested in auditioning for the Military Spouses Choir can visit www.cammomusic.org for audition information.

Feast for families: Fort Eustis hosts dinner for families of deployed heroes Airman 1st Class Austin Harvill 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
The Fort Eustis Regimental Memorial Chapel community hosted a dinner for families of deployed Service members Oct. 8. During the dinner, families received a free meal and an opportunity to speak about any issues they might have while their Service members are away. While parents were attending a discussion group with U.S. Army Maj. Scott Daniel, Fort Eustis family life chaplain, members of the chapel took care of the children, allowing spouses to attend the discussion group without distractions. “We hold these dinners quarterly in order to accommodate new families and to give veteran families a break from at-home stressors,” said Daniel. “It also gives family members a chance to interact with one another and share their concerns, which solidifies the community and brings a lot of family members out of their shell.” Daniel hopes families of all deployed Service members, regardless of branch of service, will come partake in the chapel’s dinners. “Every Service member is a hero, and every family member misses their hero,” said Daniel. “Our chapel community is eager to reach out to those families and bring them here for some emotional and spiritual healing.” For Shantyle Power, wife of deployed Sgt. Adam Power, 53rd Transportation Battalion Soldier, the event was a chance for her to embrace the community, especially since this is the first deployment she’s experienced. “It is stressful to take on the household,” said Power during the discussion group. “It’s hard enough to keep up with my kids, so this is a welcome break.”

Families line up for dinner in the chapel at Fort Eustis, Oct. 8.The chapel hosted a dinner for families of deployed Service members, where families could discuss hardships and find support.
Daniel spoke about the dangers of bottling up emotions and suggested different ways for families to cope with a deployment, whether through the chapel, support agencies or each other. Daniel also gave his personal account of a deployment, and expressed his desire for families to seek the help they need. “I know when I deploy, my wife has a tendency to gather the kids around her, hunker down and stay inside for a few days,” said Daniel to the group. “Every time, I remind her she isn’t alone in this struggle. [We’re] more than just a community here - [We’re] is a family.” For families who will currently have a deployed Service member, or will in the future, the next dinner is scheduled for Dec. 10 at the chapel.
0LOLWDU\ 3ROLFH 'HVN &RPPXQLW\ 6XSSRUW The 633rd and 733rd Security Forces Squadrons’ military police desks are the link to servicing the Joint Base LangleyEustis community. The 633rd SFS station is located at 63 Sweeney Blvd., at Langley Air Force Base, and the 733rd SFS Military Police station is located at the corner of Washington Boulevard and Jackson Avenue at Fort Eustis. Between Aug. 20 and Sept. 27, the 733rd SFS reported 4 traffic violations, including one count of driving without insurance. AFI 91-207 states it is each Service member’s responsibility to adhere to all state traffic laws, while on or off a military instillation. Additionally, the 733rd reported 18 criminal violations occurred including Fort Eustis Service members, dependents and civilian personnel. Included in the 18
counts, were two counts of driving while intoxicated. According to Department of Defense Directive 1010.7, intoxicated driving is incompatible with the maintenance of high standards of performance, military discipline, personnel reliability and readiness of military units and supporting activities. Intoxicated driving is strictly prohibited and can lead to severe reprimand to protect the lives of Service members and the community. According to the 733rd SFS, the Joint Base Langley-Eustis community can often be lulled into a false sense of security due to its status as a military installation, but the primary offense reported is petty larceny, or theft. Many times, thefts occur when individuals leave vehicles and residences unsecured and unattended. The most effective measure to stop theft is to lock doors and secure your per-
sonal property. Even when making a quick trip to a store or clinic, locking your residence or vehicle is an effective deterrent. Remove your valuables including jewelry, wallets and phones from your car and while on a shopping trip, place your purchases in the trunk when possible, as most thefts are opportunistic. The 733rd SFS said it is up to each member of the JBLE community to take proactive measures in order to uphold a safe and secure community. For non-emergencies, call the 633rd SFS non-emergency help desk at 7647766, or the 733rd SFS help desk at 878-4555. Non-emergency calls consist of general questions, parking issues and stolen property. Emergency calls are those that threaten life and limb, and should always be reported by dialing 911.
