EDITOR’S NOTE “A piece of paper.”

That’s the answer I would have given if you asked me what getting a degree meant to me as a freshman in college. It was something that needed to be done, a necessary step to move forward with the rest of my life.

How wrong I was. What I had thought was a means to an end was a chrysalis that transformed me in ways I couldn’t have imagined. For that, I owe a great deal to my advisor and professor, Kathy Johnson, and professor Eric Hage who both guided and encouraged me all the way to graduation and beyond.

This issue of Horizons focuses on back-to-school, the FSS version. Inside, you’ll not only find information on the more practical side of enrollment and resources, but also how education, whether it’s a degree, seminar, or course, changes our perspectives.

It’s not all about papers and PowerPoints, though. At the center of education are people: mentors, teachers, fellow students, facilitators, and administrators.

Acknowledging and celebrating that support is important; many of us would struggle to achieve our fullest potential without them.

Don’t miss out on the abundant opportunities at Yokota to continue learning and growing through classes and mentorship. Education gives us more than we ask for and there’s no telling where it might lead you.

FSS SPOTLIGHT

Ssgt Diego Villarreal Keeps it Real Through Education & Innovation

At the risk of leaning too hard into Air Force jargon, if given only one adjective to describe SSgt Diego Villarreal, it would be “hard-charger.”

Over the course of his eight-year service, he has deployed three times: to the UAE, Qatar, and Iraq. Before PCS-ing to Yokota, he was stationed at Luke AB in Arizona. Although trained in vehicle maintenance, Villarreal has consistently sought ways to make a difference in the Air Force. Learning about his accomplishments, it’s clear that his determination is fueled by his passion for education.

Since March, he has been the NCOIC of the Professional Development Center, taking on his new responsibilities with stride while continuing to challenge himself.

“When I was offered the PDC position, it initially consisted of scheduling courses, coordinating with instructors, and updating course materials.

However, as I worked in this position, I decided I wanted to try teaching and holding seminars on my own. After taking Yokota University’s instructor’s course, I began teaching and found a love for education and leadership development in myself and others,” SSgt Villarreal explained.

He teaches multiple courses, including some that he created himself.

These include: • The Struggles of Being a Leader—educating audiences on the dayto-day struggles of being in leadership positions, from Junior Enlisted up to SNCOs. • Stress Management and Seeking Help—destigmatizing seeking assistance when needed, and teaching healthy coping and stress relief mechanisms for everyday use.

• Effective Followership—showing audiences how to be good followers who think critically, provide constructive feedback to leaders, and lead laterally when needed.

The Professional Development Center, or PDC, offers non-academic training, seminars, and courses. Their motto encompasses just that: cultivating the next generation of Airmen through personal growth, professional development, and a warrior scholar culture. From leadership to mental health, they cover a broad spectrum of material with the goal of enhancing the careers of active duty members, civilians, dependents, and local nationals.

MSgt Nathaniel Inwood, the Yokota Professional Development Center Development Advisor, confirms SSgt Villarreal’s hard work. “SSgt Villarreal made an impression in his initial interview to where we knew immediately, he was the right person for the position, and he has not disappointed. He hit the ground running and never looked back since he came into the position. He has far exceeded the expectations and has been a powerhouse that continues to push the growth of YU. His passion for teaching and taking care of people can be easily identified if you spend two minutes talking with him. It has been a large part of why he has flourished at the PDC and is why he is such a critical part of the PDC Team.

I am excited to see what else he accomplishes during his tenure as the PDC NCOIC!” Outside of work, SSgt Villarreal is a gamer, a proud cat dad, and an amazing cook.

YOKOTA UNIVERSITY Building the Professional Warriors of Tomorrow

Nested in the Professional Development Center is a fledgling institution that has already demonstrated itself as a powerhouse of opportunity for learning and growth: Yokota University.

Founded in 2023, Yokota University is a relatively new establishment on base. Although it is not a university in the traditional sense, efforts are underway to achieve accreditation which would allow participants to receive college credits for some courses. From first-term airmen to officers, YU was created to provide professional and personal development opportunities to everyone on base.

Staff Sergeant Villarreal, the NCOIC of the PDC, explained that the university’s main goal is to “equip every individual who attends our courses with the tools needed to develop into great leaders and mentors.” Courses are held seminarstyle and are meant to inspire discussion. “This allows people to talk about the topics at hand, bring their perspectives to the table, and learn from each other as much as they learn from the instructors,” said Villarreal. “Learning to lead is a continuous effort that must be practiced and improved throughout one’s career, preventing stagnation and complacency.”

Lecturers are sourced locally. In addition to activeduty personnel, UMGC professors volunteer their time to teach courses within their field of expertise—for free. This is hugely beneficial to the Yokota community, especially for those who are looking to experience college without committing to a degree. “We set up classes with them that fall within their realms of expertise,

allowing YU students to have instruction from subject-matter experts,” Villarreal explained.

In June, they launched Yokota’s first-ever NCO Foundations Course. While the curriculum is standardized throughout the entire Air Force, the 15 NCOs who participated brought fresh perspectives and thoughtful feedback to the course. More recently, YU hosted Yokota’s firstever First Term Officer’s Course. Another class that’s also offered is FTEC– First Term Enlisted Course.

Across all of these lectures, one of the most important aspects is the ability to network. No matter their rank, making connections can help ensure that they have a fulfilling stay on base and may even set them up for the rest of their careers with life-long friends. In the works is a new Junior Enlisted Foundations Course and an SNCO Foundations Course.

As they continue to expand, they plan to partner with more entities on base including the First Four, 5/6, Top Three clubs, M&FRC, and many more, tailoring their courses and offerings to match the needs of their students.

The future looks bright for Yokota University and Villarreal is excited: “We strive to give students the best opportunities and cannot wait to see what the future holds for our organization. Thank you to everyone who strives to learn and better themselves through continuous learning. You make Yokota University’s mission worth it!”

Learning to be a Leader: Airman Leadership School I

t wouldn’t be a back-to-school edition of Horizons without acknowledging Airman Leadership School, or ALS. As the first level of Professional Military Education (PME) that enlisted Airmen and select civilians receive, the fiveweek course is a transformative experience for all participants.

“Our mission is to grow Airmen and develop them into competent supervisors that can accomplish their mission and take care of tomorrow’s Air Force,” said ALS Commandant, Master Sergeant Alex Kelley.

While short in length compared to a standard college semester, the gravity of the course should not be underestimated. “Often, the hardest part in the adjustment is being responsible for someone else and realizing the impacts your decisions can have on their career,” said Kelley.

Senior Airman John Sale, a lead plans and programs technician for the 374th Logistics Readiness Squadron, graduated with the 24-Delta Class. Sale had anticipated learning a lot more administrative work.

Wendy Iwamoto

“Going into ALS, I thought that we’d be focused on the more administrative aspects of being an NCO, learning how to write bullets and paperwork,” Sale said. “What I found was that it was so much less about the task-oriented focus and more about how leadership is multi-faceted. Your leadership is so much more about what you can do for your people, rather than just telling people what to do.”

Senior Airman Jared Griffin echoed Sale’s findings. Both empowering and eye-opening, he noted that ALS made him more confident and gave him more clarity on his role in the Air Force’s mission. “Going through ALS made me realize that even as a Senior Airman, you still have tools to take care of people.”

It’s not just military personnel who find ALS to be revelatory to their job.

Wendy Iwamoto, an employee management relations lead specialist at the Civilian Personnel Office, was the first Japanese local national to complete ALS at Yokota in class 23-F. “I feel incredibly honored and humbled to be the first Japanese national to complete this program. I owe this achievement to my FSS leaders who believed in me and trusted me to pave the way for other Japanese nationals,” she said.

Shannon Hawkins She found the course enriched her understanding of her work on a day-today basis.

“I learned about the core values of the Air Force and the true meaning of the mission we support,” Iwamoto added. “I gained insights that I didn’t even know I was missing, which have equipped me to better understand and support our active-duty supervisors who seek our advice and counsel.”

Shannon Hawkins, an operations clerk at the Force Support Squadron Marketing Office, graduated with class 24-D. She too felt that ALS was an opportunity to gain insight into her job.

“Even some of the aspects of the marketing office that you wouldn’t necessarily connect to the mission are part of the mission,” said Hawkins.

“During COVID, for example, the marketing office was critical in ensuring that facilities had proper signage displayed. We might not be on the flight line, but we are still doing important work to support the base community and the mission as a whole.”

Hawkins was also the recipient of the Commandant’s Award. The Commandant Award is given at the discretion of the ALS commandant to the individual who made the most significant contribution to the overall success of their class.

In summation of the experience, Sale noted, “Your service will demand so much more from you than it can give back. That’s what service is. So, when it comes to leadership, the people are the mission.”

LIFE & LEISURE SPONSORED BY YOU: MAKING YOKOTA FEEL LIKE HOME

Pictured: SSgt Westley Jacobus with his wife Sakiko and daughter Yuna.

HOME IS WHERE THE AIR FORCE SENDS YOU. T

LIFE & LEISURE

hat’s the adage many use to armor themselves against the stresses of PCS-ing. With the average military family moving every two to three years, adapting to a new community is very much part of the lifestyle. However, it can still be difficult even for seasoned veterans. There are no two ways about it: adjusting to a new place, making new friends, and helping children get situated is a lot for anyone, whether married, married with children, or single.

Pile all of that on top of moving to a foreign country, and you’ve got a Fujisized mountain of questions, conundrums, and, quite frankly, headaches.

Enter the Sponsorship Program. Designed to serve as the link between the inbound member and family and the unit, the program is vital to ensuring newly arrived personnel feel welcomed and comfortable at their new base.

Whether it’s giving them a tour or just answering questions, a sponsor has the power to give their sponsee a first and lasting impression of their duty station. Ideally, sponsors volunteer to do so, but they can also be assigned.

Once a sponsor is established, they receive training through the Military and Family Readiness Center. The training provides them with the resources and information they need to pass along to their sponsees.

Senior Airman Bryan Scanapieco volunteered as a sponsor. “Having been through the process of being a first-term Airman overseas, I knew that I would need to answer a lot of questions, and I did.” Another important aspect that Scanapieco mentioned was giving sponsees a tour. “Making sure they have a general idea of where everything is on base helps them feel a little more at home.” The experience was beneficial not only for his sponsee but for himself as well. His first sponsee was someone he had deployed with previously.

When his second sponsee arrived, he asked his first how he could improve and become a better sponsor. “It was really good to get that feedback, that way I could be more helpful.” For Scanapieco, patience is key. “When you’re new, you have a lot of questions, and it’s easy to forget what that’s like,” he says. Getting the answers that he needed helped him a lot during his first few weeks at Yokota.

Staff Sargent Westley Jacobus came to the Sponsorship Program as a form of alchemy. Having been a sponsor for three years at two different bases, Jacobus’ goal is to ensure that incoming personnel have what they need to make a smooth transition. A difficult PCS to Kunsan AB inspired him to take the reins as a sponsor. “It was during COVID, so that added to the complication of moving there and not having a good sponsor. I didn’t want what happened to me to happen to anyone else, so I took my experience and let that inform the way I help my sponsees.” Jacobus pointed to communication as the linchpin to a successful transition. “Contact them early and often. Continue to check in and ask if they need anything over the first few weeks. Often, questions come to people as they encounter different situations,” he added.

It can be hard to be away from everyone and everything you’ve ever known.

Both Scanapieco and Jacobus agree that newcomers should try to get out and explore Japan as much as possible. “It’s an amazing country with an incredibly rich culture,” says Jacobus. Both also agree that it’s important to build a chosen family while here, whether it’s a partner or friends. Meeting people and forming relationships have helped them both feel at home. When asked about advice for those who may be nervous about PCS-ing, Scanapieco offered this: “For me, it comes back to the four pillars of resiliency: mental, physical, social, and spiritual. Making sure you fulfill those aspects of your life is essential to a successful tour at any duty station.”

There are many aspects of our lives that are out of our control in the military.

While moving is a huge mental and emotional hurdle, there are people and resources that can help. Being a sponsor doesn’t just impact one family or one individual but ripples outward.

“At the end of the day, I think sponsorship equates to readiness. The faster newcomers are able to adjust to their new surroundings, the faster they are able to be mission-capable. They are really a bridge to help ease the stress of PCS and the tools to embrace the community and assignment, to focus on what's important,” said Gloria Bun, the Community Readiness Consultant at the M&FRC. Active duty members and their families are sent all over the world to make the mission happen. To those incoming or having PCS’ed to Yokota over the summer, welcome! We hope you enjoy your time in your new home.

Uniforms at University: Earning Stripes and Degrees LIFE & LEISURE

The kids are headed back to school; why not you?

A

ccording to Pew Research, “92% of enlisted personnel have completed high school or some college. ”No matter where you fall on that spectrum, the Education and Training Center can help you reach your educational goals.

They provide step-by-step guidance in selecting and enrolling in programs.

Not active duty? No problem! The Education and Training Center also supports spouses and dependents in their educational journeys.

Fitting classes into an active duty lifestyle can seem daunting. Service members and spouses alike need to juggle the requirements of a high-tempo mission and the unpredictability of military life. While those aspects should be taken into consideration when looking into schooling, they shouldn’t deter anyone. Taylor Howland, the Civilian Training Manager for the Education Center, encourages those interested in pursuing their education. “We have counselors with degrees in adult education who can assist you through the entire process.”

Selecting a degree program that accepts tuition assistance is made easy by the DoD. The DoD MOU website lists all participating universities. All institutions listed must be regionally accredited, so there is no question of legitimacy when it comes to selecting a program. Howland notes that active duty individuals must attend a briefing about their tuition assistance benefits, held every Tuesday at 2 p.m. at the Education Center.

New college students are required to take a class with UMGC or EmbryRiddle to acclimate to college-level work and receive any support they may need. “You have a lot of options and flexibility as far as if you prefer taking online classes or in-person classes at night. The in-person classes are always full, and it’s great to see the interest in the classroom setting.” says Howland.

Another option is earning credits through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). The first attempt at the CLEP test is free, regardless of the result, offering a great way to complete general education credits.

It’s never too early or too late to start thinking about attending college. Stop by the Education and Training Center today and let them help you achieve your educational goals!

MEET SOME OF OUR TALENTED INSTRUCTORS

Kayoko Hara has been teaching ballet at Yokota for 25 years. Ballet has been a lifelong passion for her, beginning her studies at the Shimada Ballet School at the age of four. She received further training at the Tani Momoko Ballet School and the Unique Ballet Theater. At twenty-three,

Jason Angove moved to Japan from his homeland, New Zealand, in his late teens.

During that time, he took up dancing and martial arts, eventually working as a professional dancer in Japan for over 15 years. He appeared in numerous TV commercials, music videos, and stage shows. For the past 20 years, he has been running an English school and dance studio in Hachioji, gaining extensive experience working with young children. Although Jason’s classes are divided into age groups, they are all suitable for beginners.

With over 37 years of teaching experience and numerous accolades, Yasushi Abe is an accomplished educator and competitor. As a P.E. teacher, he has received widespread recognition for his expertise both in the classroom and on the dojo mat.

His achievements include a letter of appreciation from the Governor of Tokyo and winning the All Japan Teachers Karate-Do Tournament for eight consecutive years, setting a world champion record.

she decided to share the magic of ballet by becoming a teacher. Kayoko focuses on establishing basic ballet movements.

Given the transient nature of her students, her goal is to ensure they acquire and refine the skills needed to succeed in any dance studio.
