“A pilot ejected over Alaska,”said the voice on the phone. “Theparachute on the jet was one thatyou packed.”

For a few seconds, panic rushedover him. His signature was on thatparachute’s checklist – someone’s lifewas in his hands. A feeling of dreadbegan to swell in his stomach.

His mind began racing with ques-tions:didheperformtherightchecks?Did he use the correct cord? Did hefollow the technical orders correctly?Did he do everything right?

As this mental play-by-play contin-ued for what seemed like an eternity,the voice on the other line interjected.

“Everything’s fine,” said the voice.“The pilot landed safely.”

“Thank you,” said Tech Sgt. RalphWilliams, 1st Operations SupportSquadron aircrew flight equipmentcraftsman, letting out a huge sigh ofrelief. “Thank you so much.”

For Williams, the outcome of thatpilot’s ejection meant he had just ex-perienced the first “save” of his ca-reer, having occurred only a fewyears after he joined the Air Force.

Having been a parachute techni-cian for 12 years, Williams knows

great responsibility rests in his abil-ity to perform his job correctly. Forall aircrew flight equipment techni-cians, whether handling parachutes,survival kits or helmets, any pieceof equipment they touch has the po-tential to save a pilot’s life.

For Senior Airman Roland Sper-beck, 1st Operations Support Squad-ron survival aircrew flight equip-ment technician, the idea of havinga “save” comes with mixed feelings.

“We want the ‘save,’ but at thesame time we don’t,” he said. “Wedon’t want that chance that someonemight die, but having a ‘save’ meanswe’re doing something right.”

According to Williams, the processof ensuring that AFE technicians dotheir job correctly relies heavily oninspections, continuity checks andtechnical orders. Paying extremelyclose attention to detail and knowingthe technical aspects of the job mustbe a priority, he said.

“Getting the pilot down safely

is our number one job,” he said. “Itmight take you 20 extra minutes tolook over something again, but that’swhat you do. You start to think of thebigger picture.”

Although the safety of the pilotsis the primary focus for aircrewflight equipment technicians, theyare not the only people to considerwhile performing inspections, saidTech. Sgt. William Richardson, non-commissioned officer in charge ofthe 1st Operations Support Squad-ron T-38 AFE section.

“We provide the pilots with gearso if they go down in the event of amishap, they’re going to get downsafely so they can get home to theirfamilies,” said Richardson. “Know-ing that is the best part of the job.”

For Williams, one of the most re-warding aspects of his job is beingable to train others through sharingknowledge and experiences.

The process of ensuring that AFE technicians do their jobcorrectly relies heavily on inspections, continuity checks and

technical orders. Paying extremely close attention to detail andknowing the technical aspects of the job must be a priority.


“I love teaching people that they have equipment intheir hands that can potentially save someone’s life,”said Williams. “It’s a good feeling to know I can reallyput my word to what I’m training – when I tell them I’vebeen using this technical order, following every step andthat I have had two ‘saves.’”

Regardless of any ‘saves’ or awards that may comewith the job, Williams said there is an overall pride thatcomes from being an aircrew flight equipment techni-cian. The unique nature of packing parachutes is whathe loves the most.

“When I tell people outside of the military that I packparachutes for a fighter jet ejection seat, their eyes lightup and they say ‘wow, that’s really important – you arereally saving someone’s life,’” he said. “It doesn’t get oldto me – I love packing parachutes. You really can’t do itanywhere else.”

Aircrew flight equipment technicians play a critical rolein the scope of today’s mission. Whether handling para-chutes or survival kits, it is clear that the lives of our pilotsaren’t left in the hands of just anyone, but in those of eliteAirmen who not only take extreme pride in their jobs, butunderstand how attention to detail is key to the success ofthe Air Force. Just one extra stitch on a piece of flight equip-ment can mean the difference between whether or not a pi-lot lands safely – a ‘save’ that all Airmen can take pride in.

The Disability Evaluation System nowmakes it easier for injured or ill Soldiersto file claims with the Department ofVeterans Affairs and determine their fit-ness to continue military service.

Formerly known as the Medical Eval-uation Board process, the DES combinesDepartment of Defense and VA disabili-ty claim processes under one system.

In the past, injured Soldiers were re-quired to complete the MEB process be-fore filing their claim with the VA. Underthe new process, Soldiers file claims withthe VAwhile they are being evaluated bythe U.S. Army to determine their fitnessto continue serving.

Furthermore, through the addition ofthe Soldier’s Medical Evaluation BoardCounsel, Soldiers now have access to anattorney to assist them in understandingthe medical board process. In the past,personnel only had access to legal coun-sel if and when they elected a formal ap-pearance before the Physical EvaluationBoard, which determines fitness.

“Many Soldiers went through theMEB process not completely under-standing their basic rights,” said PatriceJones, a paralegal specialist with FortEustis’ MEBC. “The MEB process is onethat Soldiers don’t always get a clearunderstanding of until they’ve gonethrough it. By then, it really is too late.”

At Fort Eustis, attorney Nicholas Mau-rer assists Soldiers in deciphering the

narrative summary and the ratings theyreceive from the Army and the VA. Priorto arriving at Fort Eustis, Maurer servedas an Army Reserve Judge Advocaterepresenting Soldiers in PEB cases.

“Oftentimes, Soldiers are not clear asto why they received certain ratings anddecisions,” Jones explained. “Mr. Maur-er offers guidance as to how to gather ap-propriate medical evidence that may notordinarily be considered in their case.”

The Fort Eustis MEBC office also servesSoldiers stationed at Fort Lee, Joint Expe-ditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, allother detached Army units in the Hamp-ton Roads area and the Army Reservistsand National Guardsmen assigned to Vir-ginia’s Community-Based Warrior Tran-sition Unit.

FeatureStory

By Airman 1st Class Teresa Aber633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

She grew up an Army brat.With both parents in the U.S. Army, she

moved from place to place every two tothree years, all while adopting strong per-sonal standards.

When people asked where she was from,her response was always Maryland, but onlybecause her family spent more time therethan anywhere else.

Despite moving so often, she managed toexcel in school, keeping a 3.8 grade point av-erage and acting as the student council presi-dent at her high school. She applied and wasaccepted to several colleges. She picked herschool of choice, reserved a dorm room andwent to freshman orientation.

Then she decided to enlist in the U.S. AirForce. After spending so much time work-ing hard in school and planning for college,friends and family members were shocked ather decision.

Senior Airman Alexis Shaw, 633rd SurgicalOperations Squadron health service manage-ment technician, faced a lot of opposition fromthose around her when she shared the news.

“My parents were the only ones that werereally supportive,” Shaw said. “Other familyand friends couldn’t understand why I hadso much going for me in school, yet I decid-ed to join the Air Force.”

Shaw defended her choice to family andfriends, telling them that it was not an ob-ligation, it was not beneath her and no oneforced her to join. To Shaw, it was a privilege.

“My parents instilled a lot of values into mewhen I was young,” Shaw said. “To me, theAirForce core values are things we should live byeveryday as people, not just as Airmen.”

Shaw continuously demonstrates a per-sonal commitment to those core values, serv-ing as the president of Airmen Committedto Excellence, and is the Williams Hall dorm

council president. Shaw also volunteers sev-eral hours at the Hampton Veterans AffairsMedical Center and the Peninsula Society forthe Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

“I wanted to go to college, but I didn’t wantto wait four years to finish my degree beforeI could start my career and start helping peo-ple,” Shaw said. “I knew if I joined the AirForce, that I could start helping people rightaway and go to school while I was doing it.”

Shaw still had to deal with critics after shejoined the Air Force. When she arrived at the633rd MSGS, she was told that getting pro-moted Below-The-Zone was out of her reach.That didn’t stop her.

BTZ is a competitive early promotion pro-gram offered to enlisted Air Force personnelfrom the grade of Airman 1st Class to SeniorAirman. This early promotion opportunityis restricted to elite Airmen who stand outfrom their peers and perform duties at a lev-el above their current rank.

“I was told that Airmen in my career fieldalmost never get BTZ because my job mightnot seem as important to the outside world,”Shaw said. “Once I was told I couldn’t makeit, I wanted to do everything in my power toprove them wrong.”

Even after meeting her BTZ goal, Shawcontinued to impress those around her. ChiefMaster Sgt. Steve Betancourt, 633rd MedicalGroup superintendent, has heard Shaw’sname at several Chief’s Group and LangleyTop Three meetings.

“Senior Airman Shaw epitomizes what thecore values are all about,” Betancourt said.“It’s obvious that she not only meets stan-dards, but exceeds them in every way.”

So what advice would a high-speed Air-man like Shaw give to new Airmen?

“Always continue to work hard,” she said.“Don’t ever let someone else deter you fromyour goals. There’s always going to be some-one who’s going to tell you that you can’t doit, so ignore them and stay focused.”

damage, with every step I thought, “Ifthere is one IED, there are most certainlytwo.” I walked in the footsteps of the secu-rity forces Soldier in front of me; somehowI felt that would make me safe.

On Oct. 16, 2009, I lost two friends whentheir Humvee rolled over an IED. Twomembers of the team were killed in action,and two others were wounded. One of theteam members killed was an Army special-ist with two young children. He was mysecurity detail on missions. The other wasan Army sergeant, who was driving theHumvee at the time of the incident.

As soon as I heard the news, I collapsed.I photographed the dignified transfer

of their remains. I actually knew theseguys; had gone on missions with them. Iwas supposed to have gone on that mis-sion, and felt guilty in some measurethat I wasn’t there. Some people wouldcall that lucky I guess – not me. I shouldhave been there.

I often think about the loss of my twofriends and hope their families know howmuch they loved them, and pray they’llfind peace. Documenting their dignifiedtransfers and capturing their memorial ser-vices are still the saddest and most tragicevents of my deployment.

The daily grind

When I made it to my home station atLajes Field, Azores, everything seemedso trivial, mundane and unimportant,compared to what I did downrange. Ifelt I did not belong here anymore, I be-longed back in Afghanistan. I couldn’thelp but feel useless and struggled tofind purpose in my job.

So much had changed. Life had movedon without me. I didn’t fit in at home orwork and I didn’t recognize the music onthe radio, shows on TV or movies in thetheater. I struggled to find my place inthe world to which I had returned.

I knew I needed help and made an ap-pointment with my primary care man-ager. I was prescribed an anti-depressantwith the assurance that would help withmy feelings of rage, sadness, and hope-lessness. But I had no idea what I wassupposed to do after that.

About a month before my perma-nent change of station, I felt that goingto the mental health clinic would be use-

less since I would have to leave and startover again when I got to my new dutystation anyway.

I know things happen for a reasonand my PCS back to Joint Base Anacos-tia-Bolling, D.C., only reinforced this.Before being stationed at Lajes Field, Iwas stationed at Bolling Air Force Base.Once I received my orders and read“Bolling,” I became very upset. Whywould they send me back to where I justwas, why PCS me at all then? Being sta-tioned at Bolling was the best place tobe, come to find out.

I PCS’d to my new duty station andput on a happy face, looking forward toa new beginning. Pretending I was notbothered, yet inside being overwhelmedand still filled with rage and sadness.

The facade didn’t last long. I began tohave angry outbursts at work. My Air-men would see me crying in my officeand when they would ask why, I wouldjust explain how I felt so sad and angryall the time, and apologize. Recognizingthat this was not normal, I sought ther-apy at the base mental health clinic, andshortly thereafter, I was given the pre-liminary diagnosis of post-traumaticstress disorder.

My therapist offered me a choice be-tween intense counseling on base or thetrauma recovery program at Walter ReedArmy Medical Center in Washington, D.C.

With Christmas a few weeks awayand my son coming to visit me, I didn’twant to chance not seeing him and opt-ed for intense counseling. My therapywas emotionally charged, and there wereuncomfortable conversations about mydeployment and the feelings that camealong with it.

Shortly before my son’s visit, I confidedto my therapist that I understood the men-tality of why people kill themselves overthis condition. I spent the rest of the visitreassuring him that I was not suicidal.

My therapist met with me every weekfor four weeks until my son arrived. Myson is my world, and like any non-cus-todial parent, I looked forward to thisvisit with all my heart. While I enjoyedour time together, inside there was guiltand sadness that I could not see him ev-ery day and the visit made me more re-gretful for not being totally engagedwith him.

Langley Air Force Base units from the 633rd Air Base Wconducted an exercise, Dec. 11 through 14. to improve tha forward base while providing combat air power in a c

The first operational phase of this combined unit exercand deploy large groups of people to various simulated

By Airman 1st Class Austin Harvill

After deploying and employing Airmen at Raptor Town, the coreof the mission changed to executing and sustaining the Air Forcemission in a deployed location.

At the 633rd Communications Squadron Unit Control Center,2nd Lt. Keisha Salandy, 633rd CS UCC flight chief during the exer-cise, primed her squadron for success – despite the complicationsof the simulated deployed environment.

“Our goal was to maintain continuity of our systems,” said Sa-landy. “We needed to keep phone, radio and internet communica-tion running non-stop so other units could accomplish their goals.”

Salandy said the 633rd CS accomplished that mission without fail.After setting up the communications at Raptor Town, multiple callscame in to fix faulty equipment or other issues with the network.

Most communication problems arose from the specific phonelines assigned to the huts initially and similar problems with con-nection ports and cables. However, the newly implemented SecretInternet Protocol Router network quickly became a priority for theteam. The command and control aspect of the mission relies heav-ily on SIPR network access to allow a free-flow of classified, de-tailed information to pass from in-the-field personnel to their re-spective command sections

After hectic night fixing connections and maintaining the newSIPR network, Salandy said no complaints were sent to the com-munication focal point. To Salandy, zero complaints stems from aprofessional workforce.

Another challenge issued to the communication team came inthe form of faulty equipment. Without being able to acquire newequipment, the team either had to create new equipment, such as

The exercise kicked off with a simulated-mass de-ployment of Airmen and cargo to an expedition-ary environment. Nearly 400 personnel received de-ployment orders Dec. 11, starting a chain reaction ofactivity. Within 24 hours, those personnel and 300tons of cargo deployed to an expeditionary environ-ment, simulating a mass deployment.

“The main intent of the first phase of the exerciseshowed we could get our Airmen and cargo to a de-ployed environment in a moment’s notice,” saidCapt. Kady Pauley, 633rd Force Support Squadronmilitary personnel section chief.

Airmen in Phase I participated in a processingsimulation that mimicked what they would en-counter in an actual rapid-deployment situation.

During the line-processing, those deploying at-tended briefings, were checked for deployment el-igibility and were issued required equipment. Air-men checked, organized and prepared all cargo to betransported to the expeditionary location.

Pauley reminded Airmen of the importance of en-suring all training certificates are in order at all times.

“All Airmen need to be ready to deploy at anytime,” said Pauley. “If you aren’t prepared, the only

person you hurt is your Wingman.”With the Airmen on their way to the simulated-ex-

peditionary environment at Raptor Town, Langley,the next phase of the CUE began. Officials taskedAirmen with establishing a working base in a for-eign environment, which could include treating andpossibly saving the lives of critically-injured Servicemembers.

As I entered the tent, my eyes darted frantically, try-ing to comprehend what was going on. A mortar at-tack had just struck the base. Medical personnel rushedpeople in on stretchers – wounds and burns coveredtheir arms and faces. The personnel hurriedly movedthroughout the tent, bumping into me as they tried totend to the wounded as quickly as possible.

The piercing screams of those in pain overpoweredthe voices of medics and doctors. I felt a sudden senseof panic, in awe of the scene unfolding before my eyes.

I had to remind myself that this was just part of theCUE. Exercises such as the CUE are designed to trainand prepare Airmen to deploy and operate in hostileenvironments. For medical personnel, the deployedmission is critical.

In the midst of the chaos in the medical tent, Staff Sgt.John Wendell, 633rd Medical Supply Squadron logis-tics technician, explained the importance of the med-ical mission.

“We triage patients, specify the severity of their injuriesin order to treat them and prepare them for air evacuationif necessary,” said Wendell, as he spoke loudly over themultitude of voices. “If they have minor injuries, we wantto get them back to fighting condition, or get them stabi-lized until they can get to a more advanced facility for fur-ther treatment if the injuries are severe.”

As a logistics technician, Wendell said the medical sup-ply mission plays an important role not just at a home sta-tion, but especially in an expeditionary environment.

“We procure vital supplies and equipment necessaryfor the doctors and technicians throughout the rest ofthe hospital to properly perform their jobs,” said Wen-dell. “These exercises provide a great opportunity forAir Force members to exhibit the reason we all joinedthe military.”

While in this simulated-deployed environment, med-ical personnel took on many different roles. Tech Sgt.Damian Sharpe, 633rd Medical Operations Squadronnoncommissioned officer in charge of element two ofprimary care, played the role of chief of medical securi-ty during the CUE.

“It’s important to make sure the medical personnelare safe,” said Sharpe. “Downrange, it can mean lifeor death if you don’t properly account for patients asthey come in.”

That concept became a startling reality for Sharpeduring one of his deployments to Afghanistan. Hisjob there was to cut clothes off of patients in orderput leads on them. When an Afghan patient came in,Sharpe discovered something in his garments thatshook him to the core.

“There was a grenade in his pocket. If he had beenconscious enough to pull it, it would’ve taken out an in-tensive care unit, nurses and technicians,” said Sharpe.“I will never forget that. It was really eye-opening andshowed the importance of security.”

Having been deployed four times, Sharpe said exer-cises like the CUE prepare personnel for what to ex-pect downrange.

“This is as close to the real world as you can get here,”he said. “It gives you a really good idea of what to expect.

As I looked around the tent, the panic I felt earlierhad subsided. The injured were no longer crying outfor help, and the activity had slowed to normal oper-ations. Even though this was an exercise, it was clearthat in the aftermath of the attack, medical personnelhad successfully accomplished their mission – savingthe lives of fellow Airmen.

From this response by medical personnel, as well asother aspects of CUE employment, came the frame-work necessary to survive in this hostile location.

As the CUE came to a close, Airmen from the 633rd CSand every other squadron were able to remove their mis-sion-oriented protective posture gear, knowing they werevastly more prepared to handle deployment to hostile lo-cations and employment of expeditionary missions.

ess the SIPR network, it was the communication team’s missionget security forces back online. Without access to another router,

he team could not replace the 633rd SFS’s faulty router. In typicaleployment fashion, the 633rd CS delegated an information pointithin their structure to the 633rd SFS, which prevented securityrces from losing access to a critical network.Time and again, Salandy learned adaptability was the key to suc-

alandy. “It was amazing to see how they worked with, and over-ame, the obstacles in their paths.”

Langley Air Force Base is taking astep into the future, utilizing an ener-gy source that doesn’t burn fossil fu-els such as coal, gas or oil. A sourceavailable 24 hours a day, 365 days ayear. A source saving the communityan average of $344,000 a year.

There are approximately 50 con-struction projects planned for Lang-ley Air Force Base. Possibly the mostground breaking project to improvethe base involves the 633rd Civil En-gineering Squadron working withcontractors to bring geothermal en-ergy, energy that is generated andstored within the Earth, to the AirCombat Command campus.

“This project will eliminate the useof electricity or natural gas to createheat,” said Dan Porter, 633rd CESchief of construction management.“Instead of using cooling towers or

boilers, we will use ground sourcewells to heat and cool buildings.”

These wells consist of a system ofpipes buried approximately 400 feetbelow the earth’s surface. The plan-et absorbs 47 percent of the sun’s en-ergy, in the form of clean, renew-able energy. The buried pipes takethis heat and use it to bring warmthto buildings in the winter, and coolbuildings during the summer.

By using these geo-exchange sys-tems, Joint-Base Langley Eustis isexpected to save approximately onepercent of the base’s energy and11 percent of its annual water con-sumption.

Compared to the current operationcost of boilers, cooling towers andpump stations, the estimated cost tomaintain a ground source heat pumpsystem is expected to be approxi-mately $189,243 lower each year.

While ACC personnel will expe-rience uninterrupted heating and

cooling efficiency at their work cen-ters, they can expect diminishedparking availability during the con-struction. According to Porter, thewells are being buried beneath twoof the largest parking lots on thecampus, as well as next to the Lang-ley Marina – making these parkingspaces unusable while the wells arebeing drilled.

However, the parking situation isa small discomfort compared to thebenefits of greenhouse gas reduc-tion. The project is estimated to elim-inate 662 metric tons, equivalent tothe emissions from electricity usedin 99 homes each year.

Personnel can expect constructionon these geo-exchange systems, in-cluding repaving parking lots, to becompleted by May 2013.

“It is a long, drawn-out process,”said Porter. “But the resources wewill be saving will make it worth itin the end.”

Supporting ourmilitary—when they’re abroad and when they come home—is an important part of who we are.

That’s one of the reasons we’ve helped pilot the national Troops to Energy Jobs program, which links military

veterans to jobs inthe energy sector. We’re proud that ourcompany’s commitment to service members and their

familieswas recognized when we received the Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award—the highest

honor given tocompaniesemployingmilitary veterans. It’s also led toDominion being nameda “Top 100Military

Friendly Employer” three years in a row. But what we’remost proud of are the dedicatedmen and women

who’veserved ourcountry so bravely. We’re honored to stand behind them—and work beside them.

From 633rd Air Base Wing Public AffairsJOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS

The holiday season is a time of celebra-tion when families gather and memoriesare made. But for members of an all-vol-unteer, expeditionary military deploy-ments during the holiday season are anecessary sacrifice.

The depths of kindness from strangerscan be a welcome send off, during a diffi-cult parting, during those difficult partings.

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Byron Ir-ving, Airman 1st Class Candice Hildeb-rand and Senior Airman Cody Hancock,all from the 633rd Contracting Squadron,took their friend and coworker, SeniorAirman Aneury Evangelista to the Nor-folk Airport Dec. 17, to see him off as heleft on his first deployment. After gettingchecked in and seeing that Evangelista’sflight was delayed, the four stood by thegate, talking to pass the time.

An elderly woman with a big smile onher face and tears in her eyes approachedthe Airmen.

“Thank you all so much,” she said, andoffered to buy them dinner. The four Air-men were surprised by the woman’s spon-taneous generosity, thanking her with hugsand good wishes.

Afterward, the Airmen went to one ofthe airport restaurants, sat down to sharea meal, ordering a round of appetizers toshare before their friend’s departure. Af-terward, Evangelista asked for the bill.

“Your bill has already been taken care of,compliments of the table in the corner,” theserver said with a smile. “Just between us,that was only the first table to ask. Threeothers asked if they could do the same.”

Stunned by the overwhelming gener-osity of strangers, the Airmen made theirway to the table to thank the couple whopaid for their meal.

Thanks to the kindness and goodhearts of people from the communi-ty that day, Evangelista was sent on hisfirst deployment with the sentiment ofthe community, “good luck over there,young man. We’re proud of you and be-hind you all the way.”
