Only rain down the drain: JBLE tips for environmental excellence by Staff Sgt. Natasha Stannard 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
In an effort to remain good stewards of the local community and environment, Joint Base Langley-Eustis environmental elements are educating personnel on pollution prevention methods and enforcing standards.
Fort Eustis environmental efforts The 733rd Civil Engineer Division is urging base residents to practice proper housekeeping procedures such as not washing or repairing vehicles near storm water drains on base and disposing of waste, oils and grease properly. Following these procedures is not only something the base community should do as good stewards of the environment, but to abide by the Clean Water Act, a Federal act requiring permits limiting the amount of pollution that discharges through storm water systems including drains, pipes, ditches, gutters, roads and other structures that channel into local waterways, said Ron Holcomb, 733rd CED environmental protection specialist. “If we don’t do everything we can to stay in compliance, the state would have to review our E4 [extraordinary environmental excellence] status because part of it is staying in compliance with all permits,” said Holcomb. According to Holcomb, the permit restricts vehicle repair and washing including hired commercial mobile car washing companies on the installation’s residencies as harmful pollutants from vehicles and cleaners go into the storm water drains that lead into local waterways. “If car washes are going on in residences, the base will get a violation,” said Holcomb. “You can wash cars in the grass because that’s going to soak into the ground. You can also wash at a facility because the water drains into a sanitary sewer, but you cannot do it in the street, residence driveway or parking lot.” Holcomb added that vehicle mainte-
nance is also limited to the auto skills center because the center houses proper waste management equipment. This includes any type of maintenance ranging from oil changes to engine work. Another aspect of pollution prevention is cleaning up after pets at the dog park, which is near an outfall that leads to the Warwick River. “That pet waste will go to the Warwick River and we will get in trouble,” said Holcomb. “People just have to police themselves and carry a plastic bag to clean after their animals.” Holcomb added that base members should not release any debris or liquids other than water near drainage areas especially curbs that lead directly to them. “Only rain goes down the drain,” he said adding residents must properly dispose of medications, oil and grease to avoid sewer blockages that could overflow into the storm water systems. Holcomb’s tips for grease disposal are: ■ Collect oil and grease in containers such as an empty milk jug. ■ Use a paper towel to wipe excess grease after pouring it into collection containers. ■ Remove oil and grease from kitchen items with scrapers, towels and brooms. ■ Keep grease out of wash water. ■ Place food scraps in collection containers. “If you do come on our installation you will see that we are great stewards of the environment. We are keeping the James River fishable and swimmable,” said Holcomb.
Langley Air Force Base environmental efforts For the 633rd Civil Engineer Squadron Environmental Element, the base storm drain system is a major focal point because of the base’s close proximity to the Back River. “Storm drains, unlike sewer lines, do not get treated prior to entering our waterways,” said U.S. Air Force 2nd Lt. Trevor Webber, 633rd CES Environmental Element pollution prevention program manager. “When trash, debris or
pollutants are left on the roads, they flow directly into the Back River and Chesapeake Bay.” To keep the local waterways clear of trash and pollutants, the 633rd CES environmental team installed safe drains at high volume inlets near industrial operations and deployed absorbent booms in several storm system outfalls as a barrier to collect petroleum residues that may enter the drains from parking lots, the airfield, and other paved surfaces during rainfall. “Both of these systems aid us in complying with Federal and State regulations that help us maintain a clean and healthy bay,” said Webber. While washing cars in driveways and roadways is permitted on Langley AFB and Bethel Manor, Webber encourages people to use car washes because they keep oil and debris out of the waterways. Webber also encourages people to look at what communities offer for preservation efforts adding that in Hampton Roads there are chemical and electronics collection days where residents can drop off items that may be harmful to the environment. Throughout the year, JBLE also educates Airmen and Soldiers on proper waste management and environmental efforts, and encourages Service members to practice and share what they learn. “As a part of the Hampton Roads community, we need to set an example for our neighbors both on and off base,” said Webber. “Our local community trusts us and we must maintain that trust by being environmental stewards. Clean the Bay Day and Earth Week clean-ups are very effective events, but being proactive by educating the public is the best way to prevent pollution threats.” For more information on Fort Eustis environmental efforts and initiatives as well as annual reports, visit http:// www.jble.af.mil/library/hurricaneinformation/index.asp.

More than 40 U.S. Service members and Tuskegee Airmen Inc. Tidewater Chapter attendees gathered for a mural unveiling at the Exchange at Langley Air Force Base, Va., June 18, 2015. The Langley Exchange manager, Army and Air Force Exchange Services Marketing Office and the Tuskegee Airmen Inc. Tidewater Chapter crafted the mural to honor the lives of three deceased members of the local Tuskegee Airmen Inc. chapter; Ret. Lt. Col. Frances L. Horne Sr., Ret. Chief Master Sgt. Grant S. Williams Sr., and Mr. Lawrence “Larry” E. Anderson Jr. “The Tuskegee Airmen Mural was done to honor the contributions of the men and women of the Tuskegee Experience during World War II,” said U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Tony Levine, 718th Intelligence Squadron superintendent. “The display will remind and educate military members and civilians on the con-
tributions of these trailblazers for years to come.” During WWII, the Tuskegee Airmen of WWII were a group of African American pilots, navigators, bombardiers, maintainers, support staff and instructors who faced racial discrimination while serving in the Army Air Corps. Despite the hardships, the 992 Airmen completed 1,578 combat missions and 179 bomber escort missions, and earned three Distinguished Unit Citations. For Levine, honoring these aviation pioneers is an important part of remembering history. “It is important to always honor the accomplishments and perpetuate the history of African-Americans who participated in the Army Air Corps during WWII,” added Levine. “I am profoundly proud, honored, and humbled to stand on the shoulders of these great men and women that paved the way for all of us today.” For more information, visit the chapter’s website at http://www.tai-tidewaterchapter.com.

JUNE 26, 2015 Safeguarding Lives: The Airmen of Aircrew Flight Equipment
Langley AFE Airmen safeguard pilots’ lives by Airman 1st Class Devin Scott Michaels 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
A U.S. Air Force pilot flies over a hazardous region, when suddenly one of the engines explodes without warning. Threats on the ground shot the aircraft and there is no choice but to eject. A chain reaction occurs to incorporate a quick egression from the plane, followed by the deployment of a parachute and the actuation of a survival kit. Thanks to the Airmen of aircrew flight equipment, another Service member gets to return home and hug his family again. Aircrew flight equipment Airmen repair, maintain and prepare the gear necessary for air-combat mission success with minimal casualty. The 1st Operations Support Group AFE Airmen at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, consider their daily routines a matter of life and death--an approach they take to work each day. “We take what we do very seriously,” said Tech. Sgt. Ephraim Stacy, 1st Operations Support Squadron AFE craftsman. “I think our attitude toward the job ensures the safety of pilots in the field.” Stacy explained all AFE Airmen review technical orders while working to ensure mishaps do not occur. “It’s never safe for us to operate according to verbal instruction of how it was done yesterday,” said Stacy. “The technical orders that itemize and explain each aspect of what we need to do always change. We can’t just go by, ‘Well I remember, we did it like this a little while ago,’ or ‘So-and-so told me it was done like this.’ We constantly have to follow direct, written instruction; otherwise a single inconsistency could allow a death to occur where life should have been preserved.” Tech. Sgt. Nicholias Sanders, 94th Fighter Squadron AFE noncommissioned officer in charge, said error cannot exist in the AFE career field, and continual compliance with specific technical orders should protect the lives of pilots now and in the future. When preparing parachutes and survival equipment,

AFE AIRMEN FROM PAGE 8 Staff Sgt. Kenneth McBride, 1st OSS AFE noncommissioned officer in charge, said even the shop’s indoor climate must remain within a specific range of variables to mitigate the potential for environmental corrosion. “If the temperature is too warm and humid, it produces condensation and the equipment might mold,” said McBride. “If the air is too cool and dry, friction will produce static electricity, which would cause unwanted electrical conduction within the materials.” Parachutes, ejection seats and survival kits are not the only items AFE Airmen prepare for pilots. The Airmen of 1st OSS AFE section also prepare nightvision, anti-G force and communication equipment. “Not everything we supply is designed to support a flyer’s life in the case of an immediate emergency,” said Airman 1st Class Marc Tinker, 1st OSS AFE apprentice. “A lot is designed to sustain their consciousness, awareness and overall safety during flight.” Landing an aircraft at night may be complicated without totally functional

night vision goggles. The AFE Airmen maintain all NVGs to a certain standard in order to provide aircrew improved situational awareness during periods of low illumination. Anti-G force trousers also prove crucial for a safe flight, inflating during high-G force situations set on by the inertia of the aircraft. “The inflation helps regulate blood flow through the body,” said Airman 1st Class Annemarie Prozzillo, 1st OSS AFE apprentice. “If blood doesn’t continue to flow through all parts of the body, they may lose consciousness or control of the aircraft.” Prozzillo said even the smallest penetration can cause an significant air leak which can result in a potential mishap, meaning the AFE technicians must replace, test and prepare new equipment regularly. Needing to eject from an aircraft is one thing, but losing consciousness or control of the body may be an even worse scenario. That is why the Airmen of the 1st OSS AFE take their jobs so seriously; they know the pilots’ lives may depend on their products someday.

Nearly 70 U.S. Air Force Junior ROTC cadets from Hampton Roads area high schools attended the annual Shadow Day at Langley Air Force Base, June 23, 2015, to get a first-hand look at Air Force operations. The Shadow Day is part of a week-long Air Force Junior ROTC Summer Leadership program hosted at Langley. Throughout the week, cadets experience physical fitness tests, academic evaluations, dorm and uniform inspections, and drill competitions. During the Shadow Day, the cadets followed Airmen from different career fields to see exactly how Langley Airmen contribute to the mission on a daily basis. Cadets watched demonstrations and visited work centers including civil engineering, intelligence, logistics readiness, medical, communications, maintenance, public affairs, operations support and security forces. Staff Sgt. Jasper Roberts, 1st Operations Support Squadron aircrew flight equipment technician and Mobile, Alabama native, showed the cadets the process of handling aircrew flight equipment, such as parachutes, survival kits and helmets. “I really enjoyed the opportunity for mentorship because I was able to showcase a different side of how we make jets fly,” said Roberts. “The cadets were really enthusiastic to learn the importance of what we do and how it fits into the big picture of the mission.” Senior Airman Brandon Burns, 1st OSS airfield management shift lead and Miami native, said he wanted to give the cadets the entire scope of what his job entails, including flight plans, flight tracking and runway maintenance.
“It was exciting to show that there isn’t one aspect of my job that is more important than another, but that all are extremely important to the mission,” said Burns. “Being shadowed makes me feel really good, because I didn’t think [my] briefing would have as big of an impact on the cadets as it has, and that I can potentially influence their future career choices.” In addition to seeing operational aspects of the mission, cadets were given an up-close look at security forces protocols, such as use of force and weapons safety. According to Tech. Sgt. Franklin Mosley, 633rd Security Forces Squadron trainer and Lawton, Oklahoma native, Shadow Day offered the cadets an opportunity to learn proper techniques in an interactive environment. “The cadets were able to see that through the different [use of force simulator] scenarios, we have to still maintain the ability to engage or handle a situation while still executing proper safety techniques,” said Mosley. “It was great to be able to show them what we do on a daily basis, and the tools we use to execute our mission. They were able to get an understanding of our training and culture; that we operate as a team, and these fundamentals carry whether home station or deployed.” Cadet Jeremiah Gaulding, a student at Newport News’ Menchville High School, said the experience touring airfield management gave him greater insights into the Air Force as a whole. “It showed me that everyone is important, that everyone does [his or her] own job, but it’s for one goal - to keep everyone safe,” said Gaulding. “Seeing the different types of jobs also showed me that there are more options than what I even thought, or that you can start off in one job and end up doing something different, but still remain in the Air Force.”

By David Vergun ARMY NEWS SERVICE
Military Occupational Specialty, or MOS 12B, Combat Engineer is now open to all female enlisted Soldiers of all components, according to Army Directive 201527. The June 16 directive from Army Secretary John M. McHugh makes available 20,563 additional positions for women and opens the last of the 16 engineer MOSs, which were closed to women. The only positions not open to women in engineering are in certain special operations units. Female ofďŹ cers were previously assigned as combat engineers “to provide a support network for junior female Soldiers and to offer advice to the unit’s male leadership,â€? said McHugh, who signed Army Directive 2014-16, June 17, 2014, making that happen. Col. Linda Sheimo, chief of the Command Programs and Policy Division at the Directorate of Military Personnel Management, Army G-1, said the decision to open these positions to female Soldiers was made after U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command completed extensive validation studies. “The Army remains on the cutting edge of determining scientiďŹ cally-based occupational accessions standards for all military occupational specialties,â€? Sheimo said. “Validating these physical standards enhances our ability to predict an applicant’s ability to perform

the critical, physically demanding tasks of MOSs.â€? Women, as well as men, who do not meet the standards, will not be allowed into MOS 12B, or, for that matter, any other MOS, she emphasized. She explained that the standards are, and will remain, fair and transparent. “The Army’s plan is to continue removing barriers to allow the best-qualiďŹ ed Soldiers to serve in any position, where they are capable of performing to standard,â€? Sheimo said. “This is about enhancing force capability and readiness while retaining the trust and conďŹ dence of the American people in our Army’s ability to defend the nation.â€?

The 2015 Department of Defense Warrior Games opened June 19, with about 250 athletes from the U.S. and U.K. gathering at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, to compete for a different victory: celebrating their new lives and their enduring abilities. Their disabilities are often evident; their warrior spirit is more so. The Warrior Games were established in 2010 and initially operated by the U.S. Olympic Committee. This year, the lead for the events has transferred to the U.S. military, with the Marine Corps serving as the first sponsor service.
Honoring warrior skills Defense Secretary Ash Carter spoke at the opening ceremony. “The Warrior Games -- you … the participants in the Warrior Games, you’re the pinnacle of DOD adaptive sports programs -- activities that have helped our men and women heal together … in mind, in body, and soul,” he said. Generations of warriors have served their nations when the most desperate call came: “Go to war,” the defense secretary said. The Warrior Games showcase their survival, he added. Carter noted that over the past year, more than 150,000 U.S. wounded warriors have participated in 28 sports camps and 51 clinics, among other activities.

U.S. Marine Corps for hosting the games at Quantico, the defense secretary offered a special welcome to the British competitors and defense and legislative representatives present. “I want to extend a warm, warm welcome to our British friends and allies -- to the 40 competitors and their guests and to Maj. Gen. (Richard) Cripwell. It’s our privilege to welcome you and our other distinguished guests,” he said. “We’re all here because of these incredible competitors -- the warrior-athletes competing from our total force: active, Guard and Reserve alike -- the Army, the Navy … the Marine Corps … the Coast Guard, the Air Force, the U.S. Special Operations Command and the British Armed Forces,” Carter continued.
Athletes inspiring others The secretary said he knew the athletes spent long hours in training for the competition. “And after inspiring us with your service on duty, you continue to do so this week … on the court, around the track and in the pool,” the secretary said. Carter also said he wanted to publicly acknowledge and thank “the family members, the caregivers, the medical professionals, the coaches, friends (and) countless others who’ve supported our warrior-athletes on their journeys to these games.” Scheduled events through June 28 include wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball, cycling, archery, field events, shooting, swimming and a wheelchair rugby exhibition.
Info: The 2015 DoD Warrior Games will feature eight sporting events with approximately 250 athletes representing teams from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy/Coast Guard, Air Force, U.S. Special Operations Command, and the British Armed Forces. Adaptive sports and athletic reconditioning activities play a fundamental role in the recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration of our service members and veterans. The events of the 2015 DoD Warrior Games promote the resiliency and warrior spirit of our wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, caregivers, and families.

Face of Defense: Best Friends Close Army Careers Together By Adrienne Anderson FORT BELVOIR EAGLE
FORT BELVOIR, Va., June 22, 2015 – Two soldiers are celebrating their lifelong friendship and marking the close of their military careers here this month. Army 1st Sgt. Shana Tinsley and Army Sgt. 1st Class Victoria Buggs joined the military together in 1995. The inseparable pair were born and raised in Gary, Indiana, where they met in high school. Now, 20 years later, they are retiring.

The two joined the Army on the buddy system, which allowed them to go through basic training and Advanced Individual Training together. However, after completing training, the two weren’t stationed together. “Even in basic and AIT, we got in trouble together,” Tinsley said about her closeness with Buggs, as they grew up and went through the military together. During their first assignment, Tinsley was stationed in Bamberg, Germany, and Buggs served in Darmstadt, Germany. Up until Tinsley transferred to Northern Virginia six years ago, the two never had an assignment together. Despite that, they did what they could to keep in touch. Tinsley is first sergeant at Fort Belvoir Garrison Headquarters and Headquarters Company. Buggs worked at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency. Tinsley said she and Buggs would try to coordinate their vacation time together, so they could spend time together. Or, they would visit each other if they were stationed close to each other. Both are married and have children. Their families stay in contact, as well.
Post-retirement Plans to Travel, Relax After retirement, both women have big plans to spend more time with their families, travel and relax. “Both of us have been deployed, we

have been separated from our families, we have been to a lot of military schools, we have been separated [from each other] -- we have a lot of history together,” Tinsley said. “Now we are really focusing the next year on traveling, on us and our families.” The two also have plans for their own businesses. Buggs has already started her business, while Tinsley said she will focus on starting her own. They said they will be able to focus on themselves and accomplish new things. “Changing from soldier to … being able to hang out and get our nails done and get a pedicure together -- actually get some color,” Buggs said. “We are female, but getting that femininity back as a wife and a beautiful woman.” Buggs retired last week, and Tinsley is set to retire June 26. “[Retiring] is something that we really wanted to do together because we valued our time in the service and … we are ready to start a new chapter in our lives,” Tinsley said. “We’ll still be together on the other side.”

Enlisted evaluation, promotion systems to use new EPR forms, forced distribution, stratiď€ cation restrictions By Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs AIR FORCE NEWS SERVICE
With static closeout dates for each rank in place, the Air Force announced it will update the enlisted performance report forms and utilize new forced distribution and senior rater stratiďŹ cation restrictions to round out the incremental changes to enlisted evaluation and promotion systems with performance as the driving factor in promotions. For technical sergeants and below, forced distribution limits the top-two promotion recommendations a commander is authorized to give to promotion-eligible Airmen. The restrictions under forced distribution are tied to historical promotion rates in each grade designed to ensure those Airmen receiving a top tier promotion recommendation have a distinct advantage for promotion. The total number of forced distribution quotas is based on the total number of promotion-eligible Airmen a commander has in a speciďŹ c grade on the SCOD. “The revised enlisted evaluation system provides ratees with meaningful feedback on rater expectations, a reliable, long-term cumulative record of performance and a clear indication of their promotion potential,â€? said Lt. Gen. Sam Cox, the deputy chief of staff for manpower, personnel and services. “With nearly 90 percent of Airmen receiving ‘truly among the best’ assessments, a better means of identifying the top performers was absolutely necessary.â€? New regular Air Force promotion eligibility cutoff dates for promotions to master sergeant and technical sergeant took effect this past fall to correlate with the new SCODs and in support of the master sergeant pro-

Senior raters will be restricted to endorsing only the top 10 percent of their master sergeant promotion-eligibles for promotions to senior master sergeant, and the top 20 percent of their senior master sergeant promotion-eligibles for promotions to chief master sergeant. The forced distribution process was built with similarities to the senior airman below-the-zone promotion process. There will be large units, with enough Airmen “The revised enlisted evaluation system provides ratees with meaningful feedback on to earn outright promotion allocations, and small units which will roll-up nominated promotion eligibles to rater expectations, a reliable, long-term cuan Enlisted Forced Distribution Panel led by the senior mulative record of performance and a clear rater. indication of their promotion potential.
