Heritage Spotlight
May 1999: Congress designates Military Appreciation Month
Congress designated May as National Military Appreciation Month in 1999 toensure the nation was given the opportunity to publically demonstrate their appreciation for the sacrifices and successes made by our Service members,past and present. Each year the president makes a proclamation, reminding Americans of the important role the U.S. Armed Forces have playedin the history and development of our country. May was selected because it has most holidays for celebrating and commemorating our military’s achievements. These days include Loyalty Day, Victory in Europe (VE) Day, Armed Forces Day, Military Spouse Appreciation Day and the most wellknown of the May holidays, Memorial Day. National Military Appreciation Month recognizes those on active duty in all branches of service, the National Guard and Reserves including retirees, veterans, and families - more than 90 million Americans and more than 230 years of our nation’s history.

Fight allergies, asthma during awareness month by Staff Sgt. Natasha Stannard 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America recognizes May as allergy and asthma awareness month. That’s easy to believe when one looks at the trees blooming and pollen highlighting cars throughout the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. According to the AAFA, May is an opportune time to educate people about of allergens and preventions as it is peak season for allergy and asthma symptoms. At Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, there are two allergy and immunization clinics, one located at Fort
Eustis and the other located at Langley Air Force Base. Both clinics provide care to military members, their dependents and all TRICARE beneficiaries across the Hampton Roads area. However, some of the services the clinics provide differ as the clinic at Langley is located inside the hospital with an emergency room that can treat acute allergy symptoms immediately, said Valerie Hicks, McDonald Army Health Center licensed practical nurse. Because the Langley clinic is located inside the hospital it is able to provide tests that could have potentially more adverse reactions. Along with skin testing and immunotherapy, the clinic also provides food challenges and venom
testing, said U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Ephrain Alvarez, 633rd Medical Group allergy and immunizations clinic noncommissioned officer in charge. The Fort Eustis clinic provides allergy skin testing and allergy immunotherapy, which is a controlled 3-5 year desensitization method, for allergens ranging from seasonal allergies to hay fever and foods, said Hicks. While the idea of testing the limits of a symptom can be scary, Hicks urges patients to find out what is causing their reactions. “People should get tested so they can find out where their symptoms are coming from,” said Hicks. “We try to identify which allergen is bothering you and work from that point on.” Patients experiencing allergy or asthma symptoms must first make an appointment with their primary care manager, who will determine if a consult to the allergy clinic is necessary. To schedule a consultation with a
PCM at U.S. Air Force Hospital Langley, call 225-7630, and to schedule with McDonald Army Health Center, call 878-7500.

SFS recommends alternate route for morning commute By Airman 1st Class Devin Scott Michaels 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Entering Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, through the West (Armistead) Gate in the morning may be a huge drag to some because of its traffic build-up. Due to the slow stream of traffic, members of the 633rd Security Forces Squadron reassure patrons that their commute doesn’t have to be a source of frustration, and recommend using the LaSalle Gate more frequently. “The Armistead Gate is very congested due to the number of people utilizing it, averaging 23 cars a minute,” said U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Shakira Ham, 633rd SFS desk clerk. “Using the LaSalle Gate instead
during peak morning hours adds a little more mileage to your trip, but you will save time.” Getting to the LaSalle Gate from the Armistead Gate takes approximately five extra minutes and the route directs base patrons in the direction of the Langley’s most commonly visited facilities like the Shoppette and Child Development Center. Not only will using the LaSalle Gate expedite commuters’ morning routines, it also alleviates the pressure put on the security forces members and augmentees who work the gates, ultimately allowing the base to function more efficiently than before. For more information, call the 633rd SFS front desk at 764-5091.

Langley Airman tours with Tops in Blue by Senior Airman Kimberly Nagle 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
A child sits on the kitchen floor banging pots and pans with various cooking utensils creating “music” to his ears. Little did he know, this intimate, tableside performance was only the initial indication of lifelong passion for music. That child, now U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Mark Roberts, a vehicle operator assigned to the 633rd Logistics Readiness Squadron, followed his musical desire and went on to play an instrument in his high school marching band, but decided to put his first love on hold to serve his country. Roberts always had aspirations to see the world, so once he settled into Air Force life he looked into special duty assignments that would fulfill his ambitions while maintaining his commitment to the defend of the nation. The minimal knowledge Roberts had of the Tops in Blue tour group was enough to intrigue him so much he submitted an application to the all-Airman performance group that would take him away from his job for more than nine months, to drive their tour buses and be close to what he loves, music. For the next few weeks, Roberts persistently checked his e-mail in anticipation of an acceptance to travel with the group. “Once I found out I was accepted, I was ecstatic,” he said. “Knowing I was going to get the opportunity to travel was one of the best feelings in the world.”

TOPS IN BLUE FROM PAGE 9 learning how to work a sound board. It meant having to adjust to more than 13-hour workdays and new responsibilities. Despite the amount of hard work Roberts and the rest of the tour group had put into training, they were ready to begin visiting bases all over the world like Aviano Air Base, Italy, and Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. With a mission to promote community relations, support recruiting efforts and serve as ambassadors for the United States of America and the Air Force, Roberts felt the Tops in Blue team opened his eyes to the importance of always acting with the Air Force core values in mind. “The people on the tour will mold you into a better Airman. We held ourselves and each other to a high standard,” he said. “As ambassadors for the U. S. Air Force and also the United States, we were supposed to be the best of the best and make sure we looked the part.” Throughout his time touring with the expeditionary ensemble, Roberts saw that even small acts of kindness and appreciation, like handing out candy dur-
ing the holidays, brought smiles to people defending their country while far away from home and family. “We were constantly reminded that none of what we did was ever for us. We were there for them. After every show in the desert we would walk around and thank everyone for coming and pass out small gifts we brought, and I never saw a frowning face in the crowd,” said Roberts. “Being able to bring joy and smiling faces to those in harm’s way during the time they probably missed home the most was humbling to say the least.” Now back to operating vehicles, Roberts said he tries to find productive things to do with his new active work ethic, such as working on personal music, finding extra tasks to complete at work and volunteering with the community. “I hope to take what I learned while on tour and continue to put it toward my life now,” said Roberts. “I will always remember the people I met and the memories I made along the way. It was an experience I will never want to forget, and hope to experience again.”

Joint Warrior: It’s what we train for By Senior Airman Erin O’Shea 48TH FIGHTER WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
They train for air-to-air combat missions, are rapidly deployable, execute worldwide combat search and rescue (CSAR), and sustain operations around the world during both war and peace. They are RAF Lakenheath’s 56th and 57th Rescue Squadrons, comprised of two weapon systems: the HH60G Pave Hawks and the Guardian Angel pararescuemen, respectively. Both squadrons recently completed a two-week, multinational exercise known as Joint Warrior 15-1 in Scotland. “Here at Joint Warrior we are training for different scenarios that provide us with training for various possibilities we could encounter in the future,” said Staff Sgt. Henry Flores, a 56th RQS special missions aviator. “We started off with different threat possibilities that we could encounter.” Special mission aviators , like Flores, are tasked with firing the Pave Hawk’s .50-caliber machine gun. They also provide CSAR capabilities for both their aircrew and downed personnel, control the aircraft’s hoist and provide protection to the aircraft using their weapons. During the multinational training, military personnel from 14 countries practiced threat-reaction scenarios and flew long missions, both day and night. “Training out here allows us to step away from that possibility of getting complacent of the things that we’re used to seeing every day,” Flores said. “Opening up to a different environment allows us to see different things, provide approaches, and encounter different possibilities we may need to maneuver around.”

Pararescuemen assigned to Royal Air Force Lakenheath’s 57th Rescue Squadron rappel from an HH-60G Pave Hawk in multinational exercise Joint Warrior 15-1 in Scotland, April 21, 2015. About 13,000 personnel from 14 countries participated in the exercise, to strengthen and test their readiness capabilities.
According to Flores, the rescue squadrons find it important to attend exercises like Joint Warrior, to train in various types of situations. During the exercise, they performed tactical combat maneuvers over both land and sea to prepare for real-world operations. “We performed terminal area engagement as well as mountain flying, which gave us the ability to perform high-density altitude training,” said Capt. Sky Jensen, a 56th RQS pilot and chief of weapons and tactics. “They have a great range here for us to be able to shoot our weapons so we can do land training.” Practicing flying and operating in different environ-
ments is an essential part of training for special mission operations, as the squadron can respond to incidents worldwide. “We train for personnel recovery, combat search and rescue missions, medical evacuations; basically a wide variety of what the helicopter can provide,” Flores added. The Guardian Angel pararescuemen, also known as PJs, are responsible for recovering and medically treating personnel involved in hazardous situations. These elite, combat forces are trained to survive in harsh environments. SEE JOINT WARRIOR PAGE 15

JOINT WARRIOR FROM PAGE 14 “We try to make every full mission profile or whatever training we’re doing as realistic as possible,” said Staff Sgt. Christopher Sanders, a 57th RQS pararescueman journeyman. “We use it as a time to bring up short falls we haven’t realized yet so that hopefully they come out in training and not when we’re downrange.” The pararescue community is small, which provides motive for the PJs to work closely together, in an integrated working environment. “PJs by nature - we are all pretty diverse,” Sanders said. “Even though we have a lot of the same training, we have slightly different ways of thinking. By doing training like this, it gets us all on the same page. So, when we do it for real, we don’t have to think about it as much - we pretty much know what’s going to happen.” For Airmen like Flores, who are new to the unit, getting to know the people you fly and train with can be vital. “A lot of these training sorties are helping me get to know the rest of the crew,” Flores said. “So future missions we will be able to mesh a lot better.” Joint Warrior provided them the opportunity to work closely with not only their units, but also military members from different countries. “It’s a great opportunity for us to teach about combat search and rescue, personnel recovery, as well as build that partnership with our allies that play in the exercise and learn about their contribution to future combat capabilities,” Jensen said. Having open communication and learning from one another is a concept that is greatly enforced during these multinational exercises. “The British have been awesome,” Jensen added. “They have housed, supported us, and given us a place to work out of, so building partnership with them has been a great experience for everyone here.”

Soldier uses sports to stay resilient, motivated By Shannon Collins ARMY NEWS SERVICE
Drive, camaraderie and a chance to be an athlete again drove one Army specialist from her hospital room to the archery range, track field and courts here to compete during the Army Trials. Army Reserve Spc. Sydney Davis, a former volunteer firefighter turned medical laboratory technician, participated during the Army Trials, March 28 through April 3, on Fort Bliss, Texas. The trials were held to determine who will compete as part of the Army team during the 2015 Department of Defense Warrior Games, June 19 - 28, on Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia. During the Army Trials, Davis competed in shot put, discus, recurve archery, air rifle, air pistol, wheelchair basketball and sitting volleyball. Showing her competitive spirit, she garnered a gold medal in recurve bow in archery, the bronze medal in air rifle, a silver medal in discus and a silver medal in shot put. She said her wheelchair basketball and sitting volleyball teams also did well. In high school, Davis made it to state competition for discus and shot put and made it to state all four years for basketball. She just started archery two months ago. She moved away from competitive sports after high school, but within the last few months, she has re-engaged to help with post-traumatic stress. She is serving on the Fort Belvoir Warrior Transition Battalion, or WTB, in Virginia. “Sports have done a lot for me,” she said. “It gives me something to look forward to, and it brings a bunch of people, who go through the same things together. We all support each other. We’re competing but at the end of the day, we’re all one team. I’ve given pep talks to several people; several people have given me pep

We’re all in it for the Army, one team.” Davis said adaptive sports have shown her that she is resilient. “Bouncing back, going through something that, to you, is personally traumatizing and being able to overcome, and I’ve been doing that through these sports. These give me self-worth and confidence,” she said, with an ever-present smile. “When you join a WTB, you feel like you’re a broken Soldier, and you don’t really feel like you can put out as much as a normal person could. I don’t like feeling flawed, nobody does. But when I’m able to do this and show what I can do, it pumps me up. Just because I took a step backward does not mean I can’t keep going forward.”

SPORTS FROM PAGE 16 Davis encourages anybody, who may be discouraged, to give adaptive sports a try, especially at the local level. “One time, that’s all it takes. That’s what I did,” she said passionately. “I was in the barracks, alone, watching television every day - just depressed. Everybody kept pushing me to get out and try stuff. I told them I didn’t have any energy. I was like, ‘I’m just going to pity myself in here.’ And one time, that’s all it took. I went out and started archery ... and it’s addicting. When you realize you want to do something and you’re good at it, it gives you that purpose and that drive. One day at a time, you get better and better and soon you’re competing at a level like this and hopefully the Paralympics.” Davis also encourages anybody considering trying out for the Army Trials next year to give it a shot. “When I first got to the Army Trials, I thought I was alone,” she said. “I had doubts about myself. I didn’t think I was good enough or strong enough. But there are so many friends and support. I’m not alone, and neither are you.” She also said the coaches have been phenomenal. “The coaches were fantastic,” Davis said. “They’re first class. These coaches

DoD Seeks Right Standards, Policies for Women in Combat Roles By Terri Moon Cronk DOD NEWS, DEFENSE MEDIA ACTIVITY
Following the 2013 reversal of a policy that prevented women from serving in direct ground combat roles, the Defense Department’s unwavering position has been “the right standards and policies” must exist to support it, a senior Pentagon personnel official said here today. Juliet Beyler, director of officer and enlisted personnel management in the office of the deputy assistant secretary of defense for military personnel policy, addressed the policy angle of the reversal in a discussion of women in combat at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “The experience gained in Iraq and Afghanistan and DoD discussions in 2010, ’11 and ’12 led the [Joint Chiefs of Staff] to the unanimous conclusion the time had come for us to change our thinking,” Beyler said. “The tipping point had been reached.” Now, the presumption is that every specialty should be open to women unless a case can be made to keep it closed, said Beyler, who served in the Marine Corps for 23 years. “That was a big [DoD] decision on assignment policy.” Then-Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey rescinded the direct combat definition and assignment rule in January 2013.
How the Policy Was Changed

“They directed the development of plans, describing how each service and Special Operations Command intends to integrate women into those jobs previously closed jobs [to them],” she said. They also looked at how to review and validate their occupational standards to ensure they’re up-to-date, operationally relevant and applied gender neutrally. Defense Secretary Ash Carter is expected to announce final decisions early next year on integration of remaining closed occupations and any approved exceptions to policy. “Since early 2013, DoD, services and Socom have been thoughtfully and thoroughly implementing this policy change,” Beyler explained. Congress has since been notified by
the services that 91,000 jobs once closed to women are now open to them, she said.
Training, Education Paths Opening “One of the chairman’s guiding principles was to ensure service members are set up for success with viable career paths,” Beyler said. “So, not only are we opening the occupations, we’re identifying and opening all the schools, the skill identifiers and the professional development path. It’s a holistic effort.”

Of the 240,000 positions that are still closed, most are in infantry, armor, artillery and special operations, which Beyler said she knew would be the most difficult to review. “Through this we expect to learn a lot -- possibly more about our existing forces and training pipelines as we will about gender integration, validating the standards regardless of the service member performing them, [and it] will only enhance the quality, readiness and the overall effectiveness of our force,” Beyler said.

DoD sends aircraft to support disasterassistance operations in Nepal DoD News DEFENSE MEDIA ACTIVITY
The United States has sent an Air Force aircraft to Nepal to deliver personnel and cargo in support of disaster-relief operations, according to Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Steve Warren. A magnitude-7.8 earthquake hit the country yesterday, reportedly leaving more than 4,200 dead and more than 7,000 injured. Thousands of people are currently reported to be without food, water or shelter. “This morning at approximately 11:18 a.m., a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster departed from Dover Air Force Base bound for Nepal,� Warren said in a statement released today. “The aircraft is transporting nearly 70
personnel, including a USAID Disaster Assistance Response Team, the Fairfax County Urban Search and Rescue team and several journalists, along with 45 square tons of cargo.â€? The ight is expected to arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal, on April 27, according to Warren. The initial estimated cost for the U.S. Defense Department’s support is approximately $700,000, and there are currently no additional requests for DoD support, ofďŹ cials said on background. At the time of the earthquake, there were 26 DoD personnel and one U.S. C-130 in Nepal to conduct a previously scheduled training exercise. All DoD personnel in Nepal are accounted for, ofďŹ cials said
