Auto HOBBY CENTER

G N I D L E W S E S R U O C $30 per hour

WELDING Trades for Success The Auto Hobby Center offers welding courses so that you can learn a trade. No one knows the benefits of learning a trade more than Moira Villa, the welding instructor. Villa began welding when she was a freshman in high school. She was accepted into an elective program at her school’s career trades and technical center.

She initially wanted to get into welding because “it looked cool and I've always been hands-on," says Villa.

The program allowed her to complete three years of trade school, alongside airspace computer science engineering students and mechanics, as half of her curriculum. She worked hard but enjoyed the craft so much that she used any free time she had to put fire to metal. Villa graduated as the first female from the program, with six certifications to be proud of. At just 18 years old, Villa was offered a full-time job at $18 an hour welding all day, just as she loved to do in high school. Learning this trade set Villa above her peers and up for success from a young age.

Villa started working at the Auto Hobby Center because she enjoys gearing classes toward her students’ individual schedules and learning paces. She makes sure that each class is safe and that her students are having a lot of fun. This is done by teaching them how to operate the machines and letting them bring in their own projects and ideas to weld. She says that most don’t realize the convenience of learning this trade until they begin classes with her. “You’ll start to notice everything around you in your environment that is welded on buildings, or even think twice about getting on a rollercoaster that isn’t welded well.”

Villa enjoys making the students' schedules her schedule and seeing the moment when it "just clicks" in a student's mind as they’re learning welding skills.

Learn how to weld with Moira at the Auto Hobby Center and see how much fun you can have challenging yourself. You might be surprised at what kind of doors you can open, or seal.

A Legacy of Community

By Samantha Trimble

The Gosser Golf Course was named for Maj. Delbert L. Gosser, a member of the 531st Tactical Fighter Squadron. The pilot died on Jan. 5, 1962 after ejecting from his F-100 Super-Sabre just 10 minutes after takeoff. He ejected safely just north of Misawa but later died at a military hospital. To memorialize the fallen pilot, the course was named the Gosser Memorial Golf Course. Since his passing, the course has been a place of relaxation, friendship, comradery and growth for seven decades. Whether it be in learning a new sport, enhancing your skills, team building, or bilateral relationships, it’s a place for all members of our community.

It takes a total team effort to maintain the Gosser Golf Course and improve programs for Misawa Air Base customers. “The staff at the Gosser Golf Course has been the best team I have had the privilege to work with in my 24 plus year golf career,” says Robert Jacobus, General Manager at the course. Their focus on customer service and work ethic is second to none. The inside team is led by Shinichi Baba, with the assistance of operation clerks, Yukari and Rika.

Chef Wada is the force behind the Lakeview Grille team, pumping out some of the best lunch offerings in Misawa.

Last but not least, Narita is responsible for the golf course conditions and the Clubhouse landscaping.

The maintenance team includes a mechanic and equipment operators that groom the course into one of the best golf facilities in PACAF. Not only do the staff maintain a beautiful and efficiently running course, a little-known fact is that the maintenance team assists with a number of base-wide support efforts, to include snow removal at some of the FSS facilities, sound stage deployment and squadron equipment repair.

If you visited the course this spring, you may have noticed additions to the landscape around the Clubhouse. This blooming foliage is a perfect accompaniment to the cherry blossoms and adds to the relaxing atmosphere that our golf course provides.

One of Jacobus’ goals for 2020 was to improve upon an already aesthetically breathtaking area. Due to the dedication and hard work of the staff, a number of other projects have been completed over the past few years to enhance the operations and add amenities.

The power tee system and lighting upgrades at the Driving Range and the GolfBoards are a couple of items that are not normally found at military courses and we have both here in Misawa. A lot of hard work and ingenuity has gone into keeping all of that grass out there healthy. As soon as the snow melts, the staff work tirelessly to maintain the condition of the grass throughout the summer. Improvements that directly impact the playability and condition of the course include a fairway aerifier and a MicroRain retractable irrigation system, with connection points to tee complexes. Jacobus also led efforts for the team to renovate bunkers, cart paths, and practice putting green areas. Additionally, two chipping greens were added for ease of practice.

"All of these projects would not have been possible without the support of wing, group and squadron leadership over the past few years. They also would not have been possible without the support of our base golfing community and Japanese allies," Jacobus notes. The Gosser Golf Course is just one of the FSS facilities that shows what true community effort can do.

The Gosser Golf Course has consistently led the Air Force in player development programs, to include Get Golf Ready and Kids Drive Free. These programs ensure we are growing the game here in Misawa and adding future players to the sport. Debra Buchanan, daughter of Ret. Maj. Delbert Gosser, visited the course on March 27, 2017. She lost her father when she was just 13 years old. Her father’s service is remembered through each improvement to the course, youth that learns a new skill, or friendship that is created here.

PRO’S CORNER

With most of the summer behind us, it is the perfect time to get out and enjoy the outdoors. With that being said, it is still a time to remember safety when going outside. Drinking water before, during and after outdoor activities is essential to staying hydrated. Sunscreen and insect repellent are also great at protecting your skin from the sun and bugs.

We live in an area surrounded by water and agriculture that relies on flooded fields that are prime breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Last but not least, lightning is always a concern when you are outside. If you hear thunder, please head for shelter and wait for the storm to pass.

See you at the course!

What is your favorite part about working at the Airman & Family Readiness Center?

Military life offers so many benefits to service members and their families. In fact, there are so many benefits available, that service members are often unaware of just what they may be entitled to. Helping these members and their families navigate the unknown of military life is the true reward for those of us in the A&FRC. Knowing that I helped to make life a little bit easier, even in some small way is my favorite part of working at the Airman & Family Readiness Center.

What do you wish the Misawa community knew about your programs?

I would like the community to know that we are accessible. Regardless of your shift or situation, we are here for you. All it takes is a phone call, a drop in, email or Facebook message and we will find a way to help you. Please don’t ever hesitate to come to us with your ideas. We can almost always find a way to provide A&FRC support for your unique situation.

What is your best memory at the Airman & Family Readiness Center?

Watching Misawa Air Base come together as a community is always at the top of my list.

The big events tend to stand out in my memory. Military Spouse Appreciation Day and Multicultural Exchanges have offered the opportunity for the best of Misawa to really shine.
