Fort Eustis will host a series of events aspart of the Army-wide suicide preventionstand-down day, scheduled for Sept. 27.

Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III, the Army’s vicechief of staff, ordered the Army-wide sui-cide stand-down as a way to empowerleadership to prevent further loss of lifefrom suicide.

“The Army dedicates a significantamount of resources to prevent loss of lifedue to suicides, but we haven’t turnedthe corner. That is why we are invigorat-ing our efforts,” said Maj. Gen. BradleyW. May, the senior commander of ArmyElement Eustis and deputy commandinggeneral of Initial Military Training.

The stand-down was issued after Aus-tin visited installations around the Armyand listened to Soldier feedback and sug-gestions, said Walter O. Morales, chief ofthe Army Suicide Prevention Program.

“He realized more work was needed toaddress the issue of suicides in the Armyand to ensure the awareness and trainingmomentum continues,” Morales said.

The day-long slate of events at Fort Eustiswill feature a “run for resilience,” a two-and-a-half mile run-walk in the early morninghours; “command time,” reserved for Sol-diers to conduct peer-to-peer and leader-ledactivities; a senior leader luncheon; suicideprevention awareness training at the Reg-imental Memorial Chapel and a Compre-hensive Fitness Fair at the Fort Eustis Club.

Bob Delaney, a National Basketball As-sociation referee and victim of post-trau-matic stress, will serve as guest speak-er at the senior leader luncheon and willalso speak to Soldiers, civilians and familymembers at Jacobs Theater at 3 p.m. Del-aney, who suffered from PTSD as a resultof his service as a New Jersey state troop-er, hopes to empower leadership to en-gage with Soldiers and communicate thatit is acceptable to ask for help.

The Army stand-down is meant to fa-miliarize all members of the Army familywith the health promotion, risk reduction,

suicide prevention, and comprehensiveSoldier and family-fitness resources avail-able in the Army. The stand-down willalso focus on how to improve the healthand discipline of the force, and how to re-duce the stigma associated with seekingcare for behavioral health issues.

The last Army-wide suicide preventionstand-down took place in 2009. Duringthat event, Morales said, the Army usedthe “chain teach” approach to push infor-mation down to Soldiers.

“For example, theArmy required that spe-cific training materials would be used andspecific training requirements met, althoughsome supplemental training was allowed,such as leader-led discussions,” he said.

This time, Morales said, the stand-downwill be different.

“Activities and training will be less pre-scriptive,” he said. “Commanders now havethe flexibility to assess the needs of their unitsand customize the training and activities.”

Although the stand-down is just for oneday, Morales said training and activitieswill be conducted throughout September,which is recognized in the Army as Sui-cide Prevention Month. Efforts will likelycontinue into October, particularly for theReserve Component.

The theme this year for Suicide PreventionMonth – “A healthy force is a ready force” –reflects the Army’s awareness that healthypeopleandmissiongotogether,Moralessaid.

“We’re not just worried about suicides;we’re concerned with the overall fitnessand well-being of our Soldiers, Army ci-vilians, and family members,” he said. “Itis especially important that leaders leadthe charge in changing the Army culture,wherever seeking help for suicide or otherissues is stigmatized.”

All Service members can think backthrough their careers, no matter howlong, and name at least one person whoimpacted and shaped them to be the per-son they are today.

Those who knew Chief Master Sgt. De-nise Mikolajczyk thought of her as a role-model. She is fondly remembered as aleader, model Airman and the epitome ofwhat a chief should be.

In January 2009, Mikolajczyk died as aresult of a benign tumor that blocked hermitral valve. Mikolajczyk was stationedat Langley Air Force Base, Va., where sheserved as the manpower functional man-ager for Air Combat Command’s Director-ate of Manpower, Personnel and Services.

“I was hurt when I got the phone call,”said Chief Master Sgt. Walt Bonner, AirCombat Command base operating supportmanpower requirements section chief, fullof emotion. “I just couldn’t believe it.”

Bonner thinks of Mikolajczyk as an im-portant influence on his career - and life.

“She had high expectations, but she ledby example,” said Bonner. “I wouldn’t bethe chief I am today if it wasn’t for her.”

According to Bonner, Mikolajczykloved interacting with Airmen, andwould often take time from her scheduleto speak to young Airmen during theirbriefings at the First Term Airmen Center.

“She truly cared about Airmen,” saidBonner. “I try to provide the same leader-ship for my Airmen every day.”

Although Bonner said he would not bethe same person without Mikolajczyk’s

guidance, she was more than a career men-tor. Mikolajczyk was a close friend to Bon-ner and his family, and is considered by heand his wife, Linda, to have been instru-mental in their relationship.

Mikolajczyk helped keep Linda and Waltin contact and remained supportive of thecouple while Walt was deployed during theearly stages of their relationship.

“You don’t want to lose her,” Miko-lajezyk said to Bonner many years ago.“She’s the one.”

When Bonner and Linda were married,Mikolajczyk was there to show her con-tinued support for her friends.

“She was our best man,” said Linda,with a laugh.

The couple remained close to Mikolajc-zyk, and their two families would oftenspend time together. After a time, howev-er, military life forced them move apart.

After her death, the Langley Chief’sGroup renamed their annual golf outingin her honor. The tournament now servesas an annual memorialization to pass onthe legacy of Mikolajczyk.

This year’s tournament marks the thirdannual outing, and is scheduled to be heldOct. 5, at the Eaglewood Golf Course atLangley Air Force Base, Va.

All proceeds from the outing are donatedto enlisted programs throughout Langley, in-cluding Airman Leadership School, the basehonor guard and others. Those who knewMikolajczyk can attest to her goodwill andgiving nature, as these traits are carried onthrough the tournament.

“In life she was very giving, and shehelped everyone,” said Bonner. “This outingis a great representation of her personality.”

“When I was growing up some familymembers had what we referred to as the‘family disease’ that ran on my mother’sside. It was killing people.”

Retired Chief Master Sgt. Helen Noelpaused, shifting uncomfortably in her chair.

“I didn’t know it was killing me too.”It started when Noel began feeling tired

all the time. Noel made an appointmentat U.S. Air Force Hospital Langley withDr. (Lt. Col.) Kevin Kaps. After severaltests, Kaps diagnosed Noel with a vita-min B-12 deficiency.

“If a doctor says you are B-12 deficient,how many people would know that couldbe fatal?” Noel said. “I didn’t.”

Noel was told her B-12 level was 89. Thisterrified her, because according to the U.S.National Library of Medicine, normal B-12values should be between 200 and 900

picograms per milliliter. This diagnosiscaused her to question how her B-12 lev-els could be so low. The answer led her ona journey into her family’s past, a journeythat would shake Noel to her very core.

The Rosenwald FundandTuskegee Studies

Noel was able to trace the ‘family dis-ease’ to a little-known medical study de-signed to record the natural history ofsyphilis in the African-American popula-tion. Initially, it included 600 men – 399with the disease and 201 without. It wascalled the “Tuskegee Study of UntreatedSyphilis in the Negro Male.”

According to the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention, the study beganin 1932 as U.S. Public Health Service medi-cal personnel conducted these tests withoutthe benefit of patients’ informed consent.

Researchers told subjects they were beingtreated for “bad blood,” a local term whichdescribed a multitude of illnesses, includ-ing syphilis, anemia and fatigue. Howev-er, none of the subjects received the propercare promised to them.

Originally, the study was supposed tolast six months. It went on for 40 years.

“My family was presumably part of astudy that preceded the Tuskegee Study,”Noel said. “It was during the Great Depres-sion; many African Americans were mi-grating throughout the country.”

She was referring to the Julius Rosen-wald Fund Syphilis Seroprevalence Stud-ies, which began in 1929, and had virtu-ally the same scope and doctrine as theTuskegee Study. African-Americans werediagnosed, in some cases inaccurately,with syphilis – and then treated with im-proper methods, including prescribinghigh doses of mercury.

“The mercury they were treating thesepatients with was passed on congenital-ly to children,” Noel said. “They werepassing it on to different generations.It was really the worst possible time to

conduct a study like this.”

MercuryTreatments

According to Harvard University, treat-ing syphilis with mercury, while seeming-ly barbaric by today’s medical standards,was a common practice since its initial dis-covery in 1494, and well into the early 20thcentury. This resulted in tooth loss; mouth,throat and skin ulcerations; neurologicaldamage and death in the initial patients.The ramifications to future generationshave not fully been explored.

During the Tuskegee Study, subjectswere given free medical exams, freemeals and burial insurance, in exchangefor their participation.

“It’s not surprising that African-Ameri-cans went along with the study when youthink about that time frame [and] people’smindsets,” Noel said. “Through my ownresearch, I learned that mercury depletes aperson’s B-12 level. What gives people theright to experiment on human beings with-out their knowledge and consent?”

The issue found a voice when the Associ-ated Press published a story on the Tuskeg-ee Study in July 1972. The subsequent pub-

lic outcry led to the Assistant Secretary forHealth and Scientific Affairs to appoint apanel to review the study. While it was re-vealed that the study subjects had freelyagreed to be examined and treated, no ev-idence suggested that the researchers hadinformed them of the study or its true pur-pose. Often, according to the CDC, the sub-jects were misled by the researchers to en-sure cooperation.

During the study, adequate treatmentwas often withheld.

“Even when penicillin became the drugof choice for syphilis in 1947, researchersdid not offer it to the subjects,” accordingto the CDC report. “The advisory panelfound nothing to show that subjects wereever given the choice of quitting the study,even with this new, highly effective treat-ment became widely used.”

The last direct participant to the Tuske-gee study died in January 2004. Currently,there are 15 descendants of study subjectsreceiving medical and health benefits forcongenital conditions.

Noel said several members of her fam-ily have become ill or passed away fromdiseases which could be directly related

to congenital mercury poisoning. She saidKaps’ accurate diagnosis gave her a newlease on life.

“He was a heavenly angel assigned tome,” she said. “I attribute him and his ac-tions to saving my life. Had he not beenso aggressive in my treatment, I wouldnot be here today.”

The Road Ahead

Noel said she counts her days alive asa blessing. After her B-12 treatments shefeels wonderful – like she could run amarathon. She is not looking to exact ven-geance on the ghosts of her family’s past.But she is looking toward the future.

“This was never an issue of race,” Noelsaid. “This was an issue of human rights.”

Noel encourages people to pay attentionto the levels of B-12 in their system, notinga severe deficiency could be fatal if left un-treated for more than three years. The CDCalso states that one in every 31 adults overthe age of 51 have a B-12 deficiency.

“I’m not the type of person to blame oth-ers for the wrongs that have been committedhere,” she said. “You can’t change the past,but you can educate the next generation.”

FeatureStory

By Senior Airman Jarad A. Denton633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Captain Rebecca Bush watched as themessage was passed from the U.S. AirForce doctor, through two translators,and finally reaching the woman whowaited patiently with her sister inside atent that served as a makeshift hospital inHuancavelica, Peru.

The final translator dropped the pro-verbial bombshell in Quechua, the nativelanguage of the woman.

“You have cancer.”The woman’s eyes began to fill with

tears as the doctor further explained thather stomach pain was due to pancreaticcancer, which had spread throughout herbody. She only had weeks to live.

“Thank you,” the woman said, earnest-ly, before leaving the hospital with hersister – their eyes filled with tears.

Bush, who normally works with the633rd Inpatient Operations Squadron asa neonatal intensive care nurse, shookher head sadly as she remembered thiswoman.

“I never saw her again,” Bush said.“It makes you wonder what happens tothese people after they leave.”

While on a five-week medical missionto Peru, the Texas native worked in theemergency room, helping treat local res-idents who came to the hospital tent inneed of medical care.

“I was very much out of my comfortzone,” she said. “But I loved every sec-ond of it.”

The mission was part of New Horizons2012, a joint medical and civil engineer-ing assistance mission which ran fromJune 4 to Aug. 31, 2012. According to theU.S. embassy in Lima, Peru, the missionBush took part in at Huancavelica pro-vided free medical and surgical proce-

dures for more than 7,000 people.“They were so appreciative,” Bush

said. “It made me realize how much wetake for granted here.”

Children from a local orphanagecame to the hospital one day for routinecheckups. Bush said they would repeatthe same phrase over and over. Finally,she asked a translator what they were allsaying.

“Don’t forget us,” he said.With that in mind, Bush walked

through the tent and noticed a youngboy, another member of the orphanage,staring at her. She walked over and saidhello, but he did not speak English andthere were no translators nearby. Instead

of talking, the boy showed Bush why hehad been staring.

On a plain piece of paper he had drawnBush, smiling in her uniform.

“We were like movie stars,” she said.

Bush said their gratitude sometimesmade the various differences in lifestyleand living conditions readily apparent.

“They work really, really hard andhave nothing,” Bush said. “We work re-ally hard and it pays off – we can see oursuccess.”

Despite the hardships she saw inPeru, Bush would not trade her experi-ence in the country, or her time in the AirForce, for anything. She said her journeythrough Huancavelica only strengthenedher own appreciation for life in America.

“I will say that the grass isn’t any green-er,” Bush said, smiling. “It’s just a differ-ent shade.”

The McDonald Army Health Centeris hosting a 2012 National PrescriptionDrug Take-Back Day event Sept. 29 at theFort Eustis, Va., Post Exchange from 10a.m. to 2 p.m.

This drug take-back day event will givethe Fort Eustis community an opportu-nity to dispose of unwanted and unusedprescription drugs that may be piling upat home, in a medicine cabinet or bath-room drawer.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Admin-istration initiated National PrescriptionDrug Take-Back Day in September 2010to encourage Americans to turn in un-used or expired prescribed medicationfor proper disposal.

After reports showed that 242,000pounds of prescription drugs had beenturned in, Congress passed legislationamending the Controlled Substances Actto allow the DEA to develop a more per-

manent process for people to safely andconveniently dispose of their prescriptiondrugs. This resulted in take-back sites be-ing made available in all 50 states andU.S. territories.

According to DEA Administrator Mi-chele M. Leonhart, these events have“dramatically reduced the risk of pre-scription drug diversion and abuse, andincreased awareness of this critical publichealth issue.”

“The amount of prescription drugsturned in by the American public dur-ing the past three Take-Back Day eventsspeaks volumes about the need to devel-op a convenient way to rid homes of un-wanted or expired prescription drugs,”Leonhart said.

The U.S. Army is onboard with provid-ing continued support of this initiative, aswell. In a collaborative effort, U.S. ArmyInstallation Management Command andU.S. Army Medical Command are coor-dinating Army support on Army instal-lations. MDAHC Pharmacy Services per-

sonnel will host the Take-Back Day here.The Health Center’s support of this ini-tiative is bringing national focus to theissue of pharmaceutical controlled sub-stance abuse.

As the Health Center gears up to hostthis event once again, it is working close-ly with local DEA and law enforcementofficials to carry out the proper proce-dures for accepting, handling and dispos-ing of all medications collected.

Along with members of the ProvostMarshal’s office, Sgt. 1st Class TaurusBuck, Pharmacy Services non-commis-sioned officer-in-charge, will be presentthroughout this event to monitor the col-lection process.

According to Buck, this event will edu-cate the community of the dangers associ-ated with keeping unwanted medicationsin the home, as well as the effects thesemedications can have on our environ-ment if residents flush these drugs downthe toilet – something the Health Centerwarns against. Unfortunately, communi-

ty residents are often unaware of the po-tential dangers associated with flushingdrugs down the toilet or tossing themaway in the trash as a means of disposal.

The Health Center’s clinical pharma-cist and acting chief of pharmacy, Dr.Heather Pena, BCPS, said it is not healthyto dispose of medications this way. Ac-cording to Pena, the prescription drugtake-back events present a great opportu-nity for patients to dispose of their medi-cations safely.

“Drugs should never enter into our wa-ter supply, and therefore flushing or put-ting medications down the sink is bad forour environment,” said Pena, adding thatit is also imperative that patients do notjust throw their medications in the trash.

“Children or animals may take thesemedications out of the garbage and in-gest them. The best way to [prevent] thisis to crush the medications and then mixthem with used coffee grounds or kittylitter and then throw this mixture away,”Pena said.

We have all done it -- we are too busy thatday, we have too much work to do or we justdo not feel like going. When we decide toskip appointments, we do not think we havedone any harm.

Some of us might even say, “Maybe I lefta spot open for someone else,” and casuallybrush off the incident.

However, for places that operate by ap-pointment, such as the finance office or theU.S. Air Force Hospital Langley, this can leadto money, time and personnel losses.

“When a member doesn’t make an ap-pointment, that is a time slot lost,” said Air-man 1st Class Kaitlynn Privett, 633rd AirBase Wing special action technician. “Withmandatory appointments, that means weknow they will reschedule, taking up anoth-er time slot.”

At the finance office, roughly 10 percentof appointments are “no-shows” for man-datory separations and retirement briefings.Since Service members must attend the brief-ingtofinalize theseactions,personnelhaveto

scramble to ensure that no-shows ultimate-ly “do show,” causing a disruption in workflow.

The ripple-effect caused by one no-showcould affect the finance office’s other mis-sions, which in turn can affect other Servicemembers looking for assistance.

If the Service member knows the appoint-ment must be cancelled, Privett said a notifi-cation 24 hours ahead of the appointment, ata minimum, is preferred.

“The notification gives us an opportuni-ty to fill the spot again,” said Privett. “So theschedule is more or less the same.”

If you doubt the actual impacts of missedappointments, just look at the evidence.

The Department of Defense measures mili-taryhealthcarevalueinaccordancewithstan-dards used by the Centers for Medicare andMedicaid.

From those measurements, Hospital Lang-ley expends an estimated $128,186 on no-

shows. That money is going to waste since apatient is not being treated.

Of the 4,327 no-shows at Hospital Langleyfrom May 1 to July 31, 2012, 35 percent wereactive duty Airmen. In the family health clin-ic, roughly 50 percent of no-shows are activedutyAir ForceAirmen and family members.

So how does one person make a differ-ence?

Aphysician in the family health clinic sees,on average, about 20 patients a day. If 26 peo-ple (thedailynumberofno-showsat thefam-ily health clinic) miss an appointment, essen-tially one physician is not being used per dayin the family health clinic.

But for the staff, the numbers do not mat-ter. It is the lack of care being given to patientsthat matters most.

“We’re here to keep people healthy,” saidStewart. “I’m not happy until everyone canget an appointment whenever they want.”

Stewart and the medical community fol-

low a continuity of care. This means that apatient should interact with the same medi-cal team whenever possible. Stewart said thatpatient health increases once a continuity ofcare is established. When people cannot getthe appointments they need with a familiarphysician, that continuity of care is broken.Establishing continuity of care becomes moredifficult with a high number of no-shows.

No-shows do more than upset bank ac-counts or physician interaction; they have thepotential to impede emergency personnel.

“When there are no-shows, we have tosend folks down to the emergency room fornon-emergencies,” said Stewart. “That in-creases the cost of routine procedures andplaces other, more urgent patients furtherback in the line for treatment.”

In the end, appointment-oriented person-nel agree that no-shows cause frustration forthe staff and Service members. This preventspersonnel from giving Service members thequality care that everyone deserves.

“When a customer is frustrated, we wantto let them know we are working for them,”said Privett. “We are here for their benefit, al-ways.”

It is estimated that USAF Hospital Langley expends $128,186on no-shows. That money is going to waste.

Fort Eustis, Va. is located at one of themost historic regions in the United States,nestled among sites that tell the story ofhow the nation was born through coloni-zation, battle and commerce.As expected,the history of the area makes finding arti-facts and remnants of the past very likely.

Afew hundred yards inside the woods,at the post’s Training Area #23, lies the re-mains of the Davis and Kimpton Brick-yard – a late 19th-century-era complexthat used locally-dug clay and industrialmachinery to manufacture bricks.

While little remains of the brickyard,the artifacts are preserved in a way thatexplains the manufacturing process. Therusted, piecemeal setup includes the hulkof a boiler and steam engine, which drovea system of pulleys automating a majori-ty of the process.

Pieces of a disintegrator, used to grindthe clay and other elements into a uni-form consistency, rest in a shallow, brick-walled pit. A worker would use a pugmill and brick machine to shape the claycomposite into a long rectangular lengthof brick, cutting the mass into the pieces.

The pieces were then fired in a kiln,where they hardened into finished brick.

Like other pieces of machinery, remains ofthe kiln, including trenches, brick founda-tions, and even pieces of the kiln door as-sembly, remain.

According to Christopher McDaid, the733rd Civil Engineer Division’s culturalresources manager, workers unearthedclay from large borrow pits in the earthadjacent to the machinery. Workers dugthe pits out toward the Warwick River,

leaving a small earthen dam to preventflooding. Small man-made locks allowedworkers to allow river water into the claypits, softening the clay for easy removal.

From the pits, workers carted the clayto the machinery along a rail system.Remnants of the rail system, including anoverturned cart embedded in the soil, arestill visible. Even parts of a crudely fash-ioned road remain, which was built usinga patchwork of waste bricks, or unusableproduct from the brickyard.

McDaid said records indicate the brick-yard opened in 1898, officially closingin 1918 when the War Department pur-chased the land to establish Camp Abra-ham Eustis. However, he believes manu-facturing ceased several years prior to thepurchase, as the brickyard owners hastilyaccepted the purchase amount and aban-doned their equipment.

Surviving records from 1906 summa-rize the brick-making business in easternVirginia, but neither Davis nor Kimptonis mentioned. McDaid believes the smalloperation simply could not competeagainst larger, more industrialized oper-ations in the area, and ceased production.

“Kimpton sold out to Davis after six oreight years, and the property started to beused as collateral for other actions, suchas a loan or a deed of trust, by the time

the government purchased the land,”McDaid said. “The owners basicallysaid ‘thank you for the money, we’re outof here.’ That leads me to believe it hadstopped being economically viable by thetime the government came in.”

McDaid said he is most surprised theartifacts have remained in the woods overtime.

“It’s surprising it survived the Sec-ond World War,” he said, noting the era’sscrap metal drives to fuel war production.“Perhaps it was too far back off the beat-en path and too bulky for anyone to both-er with.”

McDaid said the brick manufacturingoperation is integrally related to both thelocal history and to general trends withinthe industry.

“The high integrity of the remains is animportant characteristic of the site since itallows for a comprehensive understand-ing of an applied manufacturing processin a technological and regional historiccontext,” he explained.

As with all areas of Fort Eustis, unau-thorized access is strictly prohibited. Thearea is regularly patrolled by military po-lice and state authorities. For more in-formation about the Davis and KimptonBrickyard, contact McDaid by [email protected].

from 1898 to the early 1900s, used these machines to power a series of lines and pulleys, which automated much of the brick-making process.

Amidst the quaint store fronts, ca-fes and brick-hewn streets of Colo-nial Williamsburg, Va., the U.S. mili-tary’s world-class musicians took thestage to celebrate the nation’s Consti-tution in a rousing, patriotic concertat Merchant’s Square, Sept. 15.

Soldiers of the U.S. Army Train-ing and Doctrine Command Bandand Airmen from the U.S. Air ForceHeritage of America Band joinedforces to perform an 80-minute setof songs in honor of ConstitutionDay. These songs included patri-otic classics, contemporary coun-try hits and cinematic scores. Ap-proximately 50 performers deckedout in their respective service dressuniforms participated.

The Colonial Williamsburg Fifeand Drum Corps joined the show,as well, marching clad in their dis-tinctive red uniforms and regaliaand performing traditional Amer-ican marches.

Throughout the show, guest nar-rator Raymond Jones, an on-airpersonality from a local public ra-dio station, guided fans in atten-dance through the storied histo-ry of the birth of the country, fromcolonization through revolutionand independence. Character ac-tors portraying presidents GeorgeWashington and James Madisonperformed historic speeches pro-moting the show’s titular theme,“To Support and Defend.”

U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Jeff Warner,the AFHOA Band commander, saidMerchant’s Square’s colonial charmand American ancestry provided theperfect site for the Constitution Dayperformance. This year marked thefourth year the AFHOA Band per-formed in the show, and the secondyear it joined forces with TRADOC.

“Williamsburg is a place whereboth commands have interact-ed with the community for manyyears. What better place to have thisconcert than in the seat of Americanhistory?,” said Warner. “When weachieved joint basing a few yearsago, we saw this as the perfect op-portunity to represent the joint baseto the peninsula community.”

U.S. Army Maj. Leo Pena, thecommander of the TRADOC Band,echoed Warner’s sentiment.

“We’re always happy to reach outand be part of the community, as it’swhat we do as a band,” Pena said.“It’s even better to enjoy doing theshow in this joint partnership. Welook forward to these opportunities.”

The local community appreciat-ed the show, with hundreds pack-

ing Merchant’s Square’s brickstreets. Fans camped in lawnchairs, watched from sidewalksand cafe patios, and listened fromstorefronts – any place they couldto get a glimpse of the band andthe sound of the music.

Melissa Baylor, a Williamsburgresident and mother of two, calledthe performance “outstanding,”and said she was more than hap-py to bring her children out to en-joy the “wonderful weather andbeautiful music.”

The TRADOC Band accomplishedmore than 400 mission performanc-es in the last year, with nearly 15concert performances. The AFHOABand tallies nearly 300 performanc-es annually, with a growing sched-ule slated for 2013.

AIR FORCE NEWS SERVICE

Secretary of the Air Force MichaelDonley, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen.Mark A. Welsh III and Chief MasterSgt. of the Air Force James Roy issuedthe following message to the Airmenof the United States Air Force:

As we celebrate the United StatesAir Force’s 65th birthday, we salute allof the dedicated Airmen who serve orhave served in our Nation’s youngestand most innovative Service.

Throughout our proud history, theAir Force has embraced the technolo-gy that continues to revolutionize ourcapabilities in air, space and cyber-space. We owe an enormous debt tothe ground-breaking visionaries andengineering pioneers who broughtthe technology of flight to life, and tothe professional strategists and tacti-cians who imagined the military pos-sibilities of these new technologiesand propelled the science, theory andapplication forward.

While our Service enjoys an un-breakable connection to state-of-the-art technology, we must never for-get that everything we do dependson our people, the living engine ofour Air Force. Today, more than ever,the Air Force can take pride that ourService culture promotes and bene-

fits from the know-how, determina-tion, and commitment of a diversegroup of men and women who em-body our Core Values – IntegrityFirst, Service Before Self, and Excel-lence In All We Do – while pursuingadaptive and innovative solutionsfor our Nation’s security.

Every day, our Airmen have an op-portunity to add a bright new chap-ter to the Air Force story by serving

Working togeth-er in common purpose as one AirForce, we will keep America securetoday and for all the years to come.

Happy birthday, Air Force! AimHigh ... Fly, Fight, and Win!

Although the term HEDIS is com-monly used in a healthcare environ-ment, many who hear mention of thisacronym may wonder what it actual-ly means.

So, what is HEDIS?Healthcare Effectiveness Data In-

formation Set (HEDIS) is a tool usedby McDonald Army Health Center tomeasure performance on breast can-cer screening, cervical cancer screen-ing, colorectal cancer screening, com-prehensive diabetes care, and use ofappropriated medications for people

with asthma, Chlamydia and well-child screenings.

HEDIS data are collected throughmedical charts and insurance claimsfor hospitalizations, medical officevisits and procedures.

For example, a measure titled“Well Child Screening” monitors thefrequency of well-child visits duringthe first 15 months of life. The planreports the number of children con-tinuously enrolled to a military treat-ment facility (MTF) which receivessix or more well-child visits duringthe first 15 months of life. Plans maycollect data for this measure by re-viewing insurance claims billed to

TriCare and MTF appointments.The goal for McDonald Army

Health Center is to be “green” in allperformance measures and to ensurepatients are current on all screeningsas they apply to individual patients.

The next time an individual is infor an appointment, they can asktheir provider about screenings toensure they are up to date. They arepreventative measures performedeither by receiving a phone call fromthe health center’s nursing staff orthrough the mail.

Don’t ignore any of these measures.These health screenings are conduct-ed to ensure patients a healthy life.

For a military spouse, movingconstantly is not necessarily a bene-fit when it comes to finding a job.

While Service members receive or-ders and a place to continue their ca-reers, their spouses are often left tofind their own job at the new location.

At least, that used to be the caseuntil the Civilian Personnel Officeat Langley Air Force Base, Va. of-fered the Spousal Preference Pro-gram to all spouses of active dutyService members.

“Before, spouses had to be previ-ously federally employed to utilizeour program,” said Sloan Maurice,633rd Force Support Squadron hu-man resources assistant. “Now, allspouses of active-duty Service mem-bers can utilize our services.”

Maurice helps spouses find jobsfunded by appropriated funds,government jobs that fall underwage grade or general schedule po-sitions. In order to receive aid fromthe CPO, spouses must registerwith the CPO, provide a copy of or-ders from the active-duty member,attach any school transcripts andfile a federal-style resume.

For those new to the Air Force,“wage grade” and “general sched-ule” hardly describe what kind ofwork an employee will be doing. Inessence, GS positions tend to leanmore towards clerical and admin-istrative positions, while WG po-sitions are more physical and la-bor-intensive. Depending on whichfields are available, a resume shouldbe adjusted accordingly.

But what is a federal-style resume?A federal-style resume is more de-

tailed than an average resume and

more complicated. The Airman andFamily Readiness Center can helpspouses write this resume. Spousescan also visit www.usajobs.gov, andaccess an online resume tutorial. Thewebsite also lists available jobs.

After the registration and filing pro-cess, spouses will sit down with a CPOstaff member and go over the pro-gram, as well as discuss any questions.

Spouses have two years from thedate the active-duty Service member’sorders were drafted to be employed.Spouses will also be removed from theSpousal Preference Program if theyturn down an offered position. Also,if a spouse finds a job independentlywhile registered in the program andturns it down, the spouse will be re-moved from the program.

Aside from appropriated funds,there are also non-appropriated fundspositions. These jobs are not backedby the government, but instead bycivilian companies. NAF also has aSpousal Preference Program.

“What’s great about NAF applica-

tions is that it can be done entirely on-line,” said Marion Grubb, 633rd FSShuman resources officer. “However,we are always here if an applicant hasany questions.”

All applicants must go to www.naf-jobs.org and create a profile. To com-plete the process, applicants must at-tach a digital resume (it does not haveto be federal style), a digital copy ofthe active-duty Service member’s or-ders and any transcripts the appli-cant might have.

If spouses are aware of a move,they have an additional 30 days be-fore the reporting date on the ordersto look for jobs at their new location,said Grubb.

NAF positions also have pay bandssimilar to the GS and WG pay grades;however, Child and Youth Servicesfollows its own pay scale.

With the help of the CPO, all spous-es have the ability to not only find em-ployment quickly, but also the abilityto continue a career while living thesometimes chaotic military lifestyle.

Spousal Preference Programhelps military spouses find jobs

at (757) 764-2992 for the Langley AFB office, or (757) 878-5100 for the Fort Eustis office.
