Forum brings military, civilian religious leaders together By Staff Sgt. Teresa J. Cleveland

Ministers, pastors and deacons from the Hampton Roads community gathered with Joint Base Langley-Eustis chaplains for the first Shared Ministry Forum here, Oct. 11, 2018. The forum brought on- and off-post religious leaders together to build relationships and provide information to support service members within their community. “We know that not all of the service members who work here are coming to the chapel services on base--a lot of them are going to churches in the local community,” said U.S. Army Chaplain (Col.) James Palmer, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command chaplain. “The intent here is to just make the local religious leaders aware of some of the resources that are available to the service members here on post as well as off post.” The forum focused on domestic violence and how religious leaders can counsel and support service members who may have issues unique to military families. Lunch was provided for
attendees to allow time for discussion and feedback on forum topics. “We selected October to do this because it’s Domestic Violence Prevention Month,” Palmer said. “It’s also Pastor Appreciation Month so we wanted to show we appreciate them and we’re here to support them.” Representatives from Family Advocacy and the Hampton Veterans Affairs Medical Center Intimate Partner Violence Assistance Program presented information on resources and programs available to Service members and their families within their organizations. Larry Rieger, Saint Michael and All Angels Charismatic Episcopal Church resident deacon, teaches ethics and leadership with the ROTC programs at the College of William and Mary, and Christopher Newport University. He believes this forum can help him better educate cadets about the challenges they are going to have to face as officers in the U.S. military and how they can support their units. “There are unique problems service members deal with and this forum provides exposure to those stressors to those of us off-base,” Rieger said. “The

more local communities understand these stressors, the more they can focus their ministry programs to deal with them.” Chaplains from JBLE hope to continue fostering their relationship with religious leaders in the community by hosting more forums like this one covering a variety of topics in the future.

The Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard plan is designed to minimize aircraft exposure to potentially hazardous wildlife strikes during airfield and flying operations at Joint Base Langley-Eustis. “When the base was bought over 100 years ago, they weren’t thinking they’d be flying F-22 Raptors—bird strikes were not a thought,” said Jay Carr, USDA/WS wildlife biologist assigned to the 1st Fighter Wing Safety Office. “Wetlands were purchased

thinking it was cheap. No one wanted them and no one would get upset at the government purchasing it. “Now here we are, on a peninsula that has a landfill less than three miles away on one side, on the other side we’ve got a national wildlife refuge, and most of our airfield is spotted with wetlands, which attracts a significant variety of bird species.” Habitat management is the main way to keep wildlife off the airfield by making it undesirable in terms of food, water and shelter. According to Carr, grass management is probably the number one priority. The BASH program works with landscapers to keep the grass on the flightline between 7 to 14 inches long, so small mammals aren’t seen by predatory birds who, in turn, get frustrated and leave to hunt elsewhere. The grass is also maintained so it doesn’t get long enough to produce seeds and leave a buffet on the ground. Working in conjunction with entomology to control insects that could attract wildlife also helps with habitat management.

Firefighters assigned to the 633rd Civil Engineer Squadron participated in a Rescue Technician One Course, here, from Sept. 24 to Oct. 18, 2018. Instructors from the 312th Training Squadron at Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas, taught 11 U.S. Air Force Airmen how to run emergencies during rescue operations over the
course of 18 training days. This included both classroom and hands-on training. “All right, so we start with block one, (which are) normal rope rescue principles and tying knots, what gears are rated at and things like that,” said U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Max Ribera, 312th Training Squadron Rescue Technician Course instructor supervisor. “Everything builds on itself so, we then (move on) to low angle rescue then we start doing rappelling to a victim and
pickoffs of suspended victims, which is just a victim on the line, passed out.” According to Ribera, the firefighters participated in several exercises where they constructed systems to rescue simulated victims via rappelling. The firefighters also built and completed a highline, which is an advanced technical expert build, before moving on to their final rope rescue scenario and confined space training. Although the training meant the firefighters had to absorb a lot of information in a short time, Staff Sgt. Isaac Sunnock, 633rd CES lead firefighter, said that it is well worth it having instructors on location to train the most Airmen at one time. “Here at Langley, we do have rescue missions,” Sunnock said. “We have a rescue truck, so it’s always better for us when we have more (trained people) because that’s more guys that know what they’re doing. So, this just frees up a lot of time and resources for our shifts.” The firefighters at Langley don’t often have to recue vic-
tims at low or high angles or in confined spaces, but Sunnock stressed that preparedness is key when responding to emergencies. “It’s not something that is frequently used, but just like anything with our job, just because it’s not frequently used, it doesn’t mean we don’t need to be proficient at it,” Sunnock said. “When it does happen, we
do need experts at the ready so that we can respond accordingly and rescue someone when they need us.” Whether or not these Airmen will be called to perform the skills during this training, the 633rd CES Fire Department is prepared to respond to emergencies and aid those who may need them in times of distress.
U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 633rd Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Department participate in low-angle rescue training at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, Sept. 28, 2018. The firefighters participated in a Rescue Technician One course from Sept. 24 to Oct. 18.

Dental assistant program trains volunteers for a career in dentistry By 2nd Lt. Samuel Eckholm 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, VA.
The Red Cross Dental Assistant Program is back up and running, giving volunteers an opportunity to build a foundation for a career in dentistry at Joint Base Langley-Eustis now through March. The six-month program provides hands on training for those with little to no dental experience, and is open to all military family members and retirees ages 18 and up. Volunteers selected for the program work full-time from 6:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. weekdays. “Throughout the program, volunteers are given the unique opportunity to learn about various dental specialties,” said
U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Angela Dunston, 633rd Dental Squadron Technician. During the first phase, volunteers accomplish classroom training where they learn about dental instruments, anatomy, and physiology. The next phase consists of hands-on training where volunteers shadow other assistants. During the final phase, volunteers have the opportunity to assist dentists on their own. Upon completion of the program, volunteers receive an official American Red Cross Volunteer certificate of training. While this certificate will not qualify them as dental assistants, training hours can translate into transfer credits for programs that provide full certification. The program began in Sep-
tember, the first time it has been offered at Langley since 2008. Two individuals are currently enrolled in the program, Megan Barnard and Delci Davies. Barnard, whose father is retired Air Force, first heard about the program from her mother who served as a dental assistant volunteer years ago. “The most rewarding part of the program has been the onthe-job training,” Barnard said. “I have been able to learn so much from the hands on experience.” Davies, a military spouse, hopes to become a dental hygienist and took advantage of this program to get into the field and learn as much as she can before continuing her education. “This was the perfect opportunity for me to start my career

as a dental hygienist and I have loved having the opportunity to learn so much about the dental field,” Davies said. Both volunteers highly recommend the program to anyone interested in the dental field and said it is the best way to get your foot in the door.
“The dental assistant volunteers do a lot for the squadron,” Dunston said. “We all appreciate how they are willing to give their time to learn a trade while also stepping in to help the squadron complete its mission each day.”

JBLE Soldiers, Airmen load up on deployment readiness By Airman 1st Class Monica Roybal and Capt. Derrick A. Dixon
633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND 7TH TRANSPORTATION BRIGADE (EXPEDITIONARY) JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, VA.
U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the 11th Transportation Battalion, 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary) and U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 733rd Logistics Readiness Squadron participated in a joint training exercise at Joint Base LangleyEustis, Oct. 15-21, 2018. Soldiers from Fort Story, Fort Lee and Fort Eustis participated in pre-deployment operations training, which included arrival and departure air eld control group operations at Langley Air Force Base and rail load and sling load training at Fort Eustis. Members from Fort Story’s 119th Inland Cargo Transfer Company analyzed each unit’s ability to execute air deployment procedures. Soldiers from the battalion conducted a joint inspection with the 733rd Logistics Readiness Squadron prior to staging on the ight line. After the load was checked, Soldiers loaded their equipment on a U.S. Air Force C-5M Super Galaxy from Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, 9th Airlift Squadron. “The training is very realistic because we have a real aircraft on the ground,” said U.S. Army 2nd Lt. Makayla Rose, 119th ICTC, 11th Bn., 7th Trans. Bde. (Ex.) 2nd Platoon leader and of cer in charge of the training. “We are going through all the requirements as if we were going through a deployment through the small air terminal at Langley.” According to Rose, the participating units typically partake in simulated training and she believes this exercise was particularly impactful because the physical learning environment enabled Soldiers to fully grasp practices and procedures which will help them in the future when they are tasked with a real world mission and assist with building a stronger relationship between the Army and Air Force. For sling load operations, personnel connect equipment to the bottom of
001WLA10262018.indd A8-A9
a helicopter, adding the capability of moving equipment ship-to-shore. The training was set up to allow the unit to become pro cient in ship-to-shore movement of cargo and equipment and improve the unit’s Logistic Over the Shore capabilities. “The training perfects the ship-toshore capability,” said 1st Lt. Carlos Botero, 11th Trans. Bn., 7th Trans. Bde. (Ex.) plans of cer. “Soldiers get handson training which improves familiarity.” Soldiers from the 119th ICTC conducted the rail loading operation site as companies within the battalion were tasked to upload and download six pieces of equipment on the railcar at Hanks Yard at Fort Eustis. Earlier in the year, Soldiers went to Fort Erwin, California for training to become certied in rail load operations. “We haven’t done a lot of rail load training, which leaves a gap,” Staff Sgt. Ethan Severance, 119th ICTC, 11th Bn., transportation management coordinator and NCO in charge of the training. “Not a lot of Soldiers get a chance to conduct the training. The training lls in that gap and is a great opportunity for the Soldiers and the unit as a whole.” The Soldiers at the rail load training were in charge of driving the vehicles on the railcars, tying the vehicles to the railcar and eventually unloading the car. “The training is a remarkable opportunity, add to that working with sister services, and it brings the training to another level,” said Lt. Col. Damien Boffardi, 11th Trans. Bn., 7th Trans. Bde. (Ex.) commander. “Being able to go and do allows us to identify strengths, and where and what we need to build on. It also brings awareness, a level of understanding, and allows Soldiers to become experts in their craft.” The training will conclude with a two-week eld training exercise to prepare Soldiers within the battalion for future deployments.

| keeping wildlife off the airfield
CONTINUED FROM 3 However, some animals with the ability to adapt can be quite difficult. Populations of North American bird species that pose hazards to aviation have increased dramatically and many species have adapted to urban environments, including Canada geese, brown pelicans, gulls, bald eagles and vultures. Though managing the habitat is important, dispersal of wildlife remains a critical part of the program. Permits with federal and state government allow BASH program personnel to trap and relocate wildlife away from the airfield. They also carry out studies on how long it takes birds to come back and how far away they must be taken to not come back at all. “There are also 16 propane cannons around the airfield and we have one of the more advanced systems, the Scare Wars system,” Carr said. “Some of them have speakers that make bird in distress sounds
and all of them have the ability to discharge a propane driven bang.” Along with the propane cannons, the team uses non-lethal pyrotechnics and sound emitting equipment to scare off birds as well as spikes on the flightline approach lights to prevent birds from perching near takeoff and landing paths. The last option is to kill wildlife; it has been done before with the appropriate permits, but only when it is completely unavoidable. Since 1985, Langley AFB has experienced over 600 recorded wildlife strikes at a cost of over $6.5 million in repairs to aircraft. This cost doesn’t take into account labor, downtime or the risk of loss of life. “We had a strike last year, as a matter of fact, where we struck multiple shore birds,” Carr said. “With 5th generation aircraft everything is expensive, and the cost was over $2.5 million for one bird strike.” These are figures that officials at
•
www.peninsulawarrior.com
Langley AFB have had to grow accustomed to. “Unfortunately that has become the new norm, when you had bird strikes 10-15 years ago it was hard to reach a million dollars,” Carr said. “But we start adding that 5th generation element and the price goes up.” The BASH program is required by Air Force Instruction to develop a Bird Hazard Working Group for all wildlife strikes to be reported and recorded. After an incident is reported, everything from blood samples to feathers are gathered, documented and sent to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, District of Columbia, by the team. At the Smithsonian Institute, they have a feather identification lab and specialize in bird strike identification backed by a large DNA and feather databank. “Over time, data points are gathered and studied,” Carr said. “With that information, we can say things like ‘hey, we are striking a lot of
species A, what’s driving that species to want to be here?’ and that’s kind of how you long-term maintain changes to the airfield to prevent bird strikes.” At the end of the day, some bird strikes are avoidable while others aren’t. According to Carr, sometimes maintaining the airfield for one kind of bird will attract another kind of bird; it’s important to think about which bird poses a greater threat and develop an accurate risk assessment. “The BASH program is an essential operation for the safety and success of Langley AFB’s 1st FW-the first enemy our pilots encounter should not be the local wildlife,” said James Powell USDA/WS southeast district supervisor. “By reducing the number of wildlife encounters around the airfield, USDA/WS keeps our pilots and the planes they operate safe. The BASH program is a key component to keeping our airmen combat ready to maintain global power for America.”

The 3rd Infantry Old Guard marches the flags to the Monument to Alliance and Victory during the Yorktown Day parade at Colonial National Historic Park, Virginia, Oct. 19, 2018. Oct. 19, 2018 marked the 237th anniversary of the Battle of Yorktown.
The city of Yorktown and Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia celebrated the 237th anniversary of the victory at Yorktown Oct. 19, 2018. Every year, Yorktown hosts a parade in remembrance of the Battle of Yorktown with formations from the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, U.S. Marines and the U.S. Navy. In addition to the parade, community members and U.S. Armed Forces leaders attended a wreath-laying ceremony, a 3rd Infantry Old Guard Fife and
Drum performance and a Revolutionary War guided tour. “The military participation in events like the Yorktown Day parade is important because it gives our nation a sense of security,” said U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Alexander Bustard, Langley Honor Guard superintendent. “They want to know that their defense is in good hands--seeing a traditional marching performance gives them that security. Seeing our youngest and bravest carry on the spark of legacies past is inspirational to every spectator.” Approximately 1000 people were
attendance for the celebration and over 1000 military and civilian personnel participated in the parade. According to Mike Byrd, Colonial National Historical Park Yorktown Day coordinator, celebrating Yorktown day is important due to the historical impact the Siege of Yorktown had for the United States. The victory allowed the United States to pursue freedom from Britain and become an independent nation. With the surrender of General Charles Cornwallis to the colonial forces, it lead to the eventual surrender of the British army and the colonies gaining their independence. The Battle of Yorktown happened on September 28, 1781 in Yorktown, Virginia. General George Washington commanded a French and Continental 17,000-troop force against a British force of 9,000 troops.

Carve your very own Raptor pumpkin! 1. Cut away excess paper. 2. Dampen the stencil to apply it to the pumpkin. 3. Use toothpicks to hold the stencil in place. 4. Cut away black areas of stencil. TIP: If you line the black areas with toothpicks poked through the stencil, it makes cutting away big chunks easier! (Think cutting on the dotted line)

Manpower shortage impacts 633rd Medical Group services
The 633rd Medical Group strives to provide Trusted Care to all they serve, while supporting many deployed and home-station missions.

This action is being taken to ensure patients receive the care they deserve within the established standards. There will be no enrollment changes or action taken to any patients who are already enrolled at the 633rd Medical Group, regardless of category. For questions regarding TRICARE benefits, or for enrollment assistance to locate the best medical facility to meet healthcare needs, contact the TRICARE Information line at 1-800-TRICARE or 1-800-874-2273.
