Through hard work and dedication, GregLackey, 10, a fifth-grader attending Leckie El-ementary School in D.C., received a brandnew laptop computer with Microsoft Office2007 software courtesy of the Area CoalitionsEducation-Excellence (ACE-E) program. He has spent the last month working with

his mentor, Army 1st Lt. Adam Williams, JointAir Defense Operations Center OperationsCenter officer. Williams applied to be a mentor with the

ACE-E program at the beginning of the 2011school year. He was matched with hismentee, Lackey, who also applied to be amentee. ACE-E is much more than just amentorship experience. Mentors must guideand teach their mentees while working onthree different projects."Being involved in any kind of community

service to include mentoring youth providesa completely different perspective on life,"Williams said. "Getting the opportunity towork with Greg has allowed me to break freeof my walls and see the potential in the gen-erations to come. When it comes to potentialfor the youth of today to achieve greaterthings, our ceiling is their floor."The first project is an autobiography.

Williams and Lackey worked together to ac-complish a three-paragraph essay using Mi-crosoft Word. This initial assignment alsohelped the team learn more about each other. The second project was laying out a budg-

et so the mentee could better understand fi-nancial processes and the value of a dollar.The third project was constructing a pres-

entation using Microsoft PowerPoint. Thepresentation featured the autobiography andbudget. Lackey presented his work to RickNovak, ACE-E President and Andrea Godbey,an ACE-E "Angel" volunteer."It takes a community to raise a child," No-

vak said. "The parts of this community in-clude the loving family and home at JBAB, thecaring Leckie Elementary School staff, and theACE-E volunteer networks of 'technology-fo-cused mentoring.'"Lackey was presented with his laptop

computer during his school lunch hour byWilliams and an ACE-E trustee, Gary Bliss.

"I feel great about receiving the laptop,"Lackey said. "I'm going to use it to e-mail mymentor when I move to Russia."Lackey was the first elementary-

grade student ever to receive a laptopfrom the program.According to the ACE-E program, one of

their goals is to inspire students of publiclysupported schools to complete their educa-tion, and to provide increased opportunitiesfor experiencing self-esteem. One of the

ways they accomplish this goal is by devel-oping a partnership of volunteers from gov-ernment, the military, private sector, and thelocal communities to accomplish a vision ofworld-class education systems in publiclysupported schools. "I would recommend this program to oth-

er kids," Lackey said. "I also learned you cando whatever you want to do if you put yourmind to it."

The mentees aren't the only ones learningsomething through this opportunity though.Mentors may also gain something from theACE-E experience."Honestly, from the moment I stepped

foot into that school I began learning,"Williams said. "One important thing I learnedis that I don't have to lead a student to suc-cess-they naturally want to succeed. If I pro-vide them the tools and the encouragement,success will be the product."

We have a Thanksgivingtradition in my family thatmany families probably share-before we dig into the turkeyand stuffing and all the otherfixins associated with the hol-iday, we go around the tableand each person shares some-thing that they're thankful for. It can be funny or sweet or

poignant, but it should alwaysmake you really take a stepback and think, and be trulygrateful. Everyone has some-thing to be thankful for. So here is why I am thank-

ful at Thanksgiving this year:Anyone on this installation

who knows me on a personalor professional level knows thatI have had a very rough year. Without giving too much

away, my marriage to my firsthusband ended (badly) afternearly five years, to the day.This situation also presentedsome other major complica-tions of its own, leaving me asingle mother of two to dealwith the mess. I also lost myfather and my grandmotheronly two months apart fromeach other this summer. I am not thankful for these

events in and of themselves,but rather for the doors theyopened for me, and for thewingmanship I was shownduring these tough times. After my children's father

left, it forced me to becomemore self-sufficient, and moreaware of my place in my homeand in my children's lives, andit's made me a better mom.As my home and my fam-

ily seemed to be unravelingbefore me, my larger familystepped in to offer help-myAir Force family. My first ser-geant and my supervisorgave me time away fromwork to take care of personalmatters that now demandedmy full attention; my friends,neighbors, co-workers andsenior leaders offered me

understanding and supportin the face of the challenges Iwas up against; the Air Forceoffered me resources to helpme support and care for myfamily. For all of this, I amtruly thankful.Losing my first husband

opened the door for me tomeet my new husband, whois one of the greatest blessingsI've ever received in my entirelife. He has shown me the realmeaning of maturity, love, re-spect, admiration, loyalty andcommitment.Losing my father on the

weekend of July 4th, and mygrandmother just twomonths later, gave me a newperspective on mortality, andto not squander the time andopportunities we're given inlife. I think of him and talkabout him almost every day.It's made me appreciate mymother a little more now thatshe is my only surviving par-ent. I'm trying to make an ef-fort to call more often, be-cause as the sudden loss ofmy dad showed me, you nev-er know when your lastphone call to your lovedones. may be your last phonecall to your loved ones.Once again, when my op-

tions were limited and itseemed I was running out oftime, the Air Force stepped into offer another way.I was able to make it home

to San Antonio in time to saygoodbye to my dad, and I'mthankful for that.You could say that I have

faced trial by fire over thecourse of the past year, but Iam thankful for all of the op-portunities for personalgrowth and maturity I've ex-perienced through it all. I be-lieve it has made me a betterAirman, wife, mother, daugh-ter and friend.Take stock of the events

that have happened in yourlife, and whether they'vemade you a better person.Be thankful for all of yourblessings-even the ones thatcome in disguise.

Giving thanks for blessings(both obvious and not-so-obvious)

Commentary by Ken HarveyFormer Washington Redskins Player

Special to Joint Base Journal

I went to the game and like most ofthe fans there, I received a bit more thanexpected. The game, although filled withmistakes on the part of the Redskins,was a good game. It went into overtimeand was a nail biter until the end. That is the good news; the bad news

that normally follows is that the gamewent into overtime, and the Redskinslost their sixth straight game. We missed opportunities that cost

us the game.

Two PrinciplesThere are two principles here I

would like to speak about:Principle One. When you have a

chance to shine, shine.

The Redskins had the opportunity towin the game and shine, but the droppedballs; fumbles; missed passes; intercep-tions and slips on the field cost us big plays.Rex Grossman had a good game,

completing 25 of 38 passes for 289yards, which resulted in 3 touchdowns,including one he scored. Romo onlypassed for 292 yards. Grossman helped engineer the

touchdown that brought the game to atie with 14 seconds left on the clock andsent the game into overtime.The defensive line did okay also, and

there are some key players that did well. Ryan Kerrigan had a sack and a

blocked pass. There were four sacks to-tal for the day. Overall, the defense didwell but they still allowed 27 points andthat is not good enough to win. Again,shine when you have a chance to shine.Each player should go back and look athow they played individually. Themissed field goals by Graham Gano hurt

but it was not the total game, everyoneplayed a part in the defeat. Principle Two. Don't send ducks to

eagle school.I had just finished reading a book and

the messages were simple - don't send orexpect someone or some team to besomething they are not. As of now theRedskins aren't that good. They have goodplayers, but they are not a good team. I found myself, like everyone else, hap-

py that it was a close game. We have fallenfar to be happy that it was not a blowout. The Redskins have to accept the fact

they are not that good, so they will have todo everything perfect in order to win.They have to realize their strength willcome from working together as a team -from knowledge in the game to going allout until the end, in order to even stand achance to win.

Don't send ducks to eagle school; Cowboys 27, Redskins 24

See REDSKINS, Page 6

John Edward Hasse, curatorof American Music at theSmithsonian National Muse-

um of American History said,"The place was jammed withan audience from age two to90, they absolutely loved it." "They're beyond good. I

have nothing but apprecia-tion for what they do; I al-

ways have," Severinsen saidof the Note. Severinsen's en-thusiasm and high energylevel showed while he con-ducted the band for a mov-ing jazz piece. "I've stood in front of and

have heard a lot of the goodbands, like [Duke] Ellington,[Count] Basie, TommyDorsey, Benny Goodman - Iplayed with quite a few ofthem. I don't think I've everheard any better ensembleplaying, they're just really re-markable," he said.Severinsen received a

Grammy Award for "Best Jazzinstrumental Performance -Big Band" in the 1980s, whilestill leading the band on theTonight Show, hosted byJohnny Carson. Dick Golden, host of Sir-

iusXM radio's weekly musicprogram, American Jazz, andemcee of the Note's Jazz Her-itage series, said, "JohnnyCarson just loved what DocSeverinsen was adding to theprogram. You'd see Carsonwith the pencil [moving withthe music]; he was in lovewith that band."

From retirement tobusy person and snap-

py dresser

Before going to theTonight Show, Severinsenworked in a finance depart-ment while serving in theU.S. Army. "And you knowwhat, we still won the war,"he laughed.Severinsen has played the

Air Force Band in the past.His first experience camesoon after President John FKennedy was assassinated inNovember, 1963, he said."They provided some greatexperiences. And tonight, I'mjust thrilled to be here."After 30 years with the

Tonight Show, Severinsen

said that in 1992, "I went toMexico to retire and instead Ifound these guys playing in aband at a restaurant. I'vebeen playing with them eversince." In addition, now livingin Tennessee, he has keptbusy conducting symphonyPops orchestras and touringwith big bands, he reported.Air Force Lt. Gen. Christo-

pher D. Miller, the service'sdeputy chief of staff forstrategic plans and programs,said, "We had a tremendousaudience tonight. The Air-men of Note did a wonderfuljob and Doc Serverinsen'stalent complimented thembeautifully. It was just atremendous evening; atremendous demonstrationshowing what teamwork cando with our Air Force Bandand a guest artist."Col. Kenneth R. Rizer,

commander of the Air Force's11th Wing and Joint Base An-drews, Md, remarked, "Ithink everyone in the housetonight saw that DocServerinsen is truly a nationalicon. To have him performingwith us is very, very memo-rable. We are just thrilled tohave him."Air Force Tech. Sgt. Paige

Martin, the Note's featuredvocalist and a member of theAir Force since 2003, saidwhen she was growing up,while drifting off to sleep atnight, she heard DocServerinsen and the bandplaying on The Tonight Show."To get the opportunity toplay music with him is like adream come true." Martin commented, "He

is a great friend of the Note;just a super guy and snappydresser to boot!" "He's just anamazing man, he's an origi-nal," Golden said.

Hasse said, "This band isone of the top big bands inthe country and in the world.Its heritage goes back toWorld War II and Glen Miller.They honor him, the AirForce, the country, and thegreat jazz composers andperformers." "The audiences are just

building and building; showafter show," Golden stated."They are not only virtuosos,they are among the kindest,most thoughtful people," headded. "I'm proud the Air Force

and country have this band.They are the top of theirfield," Hasse stated. The Note's manger, Chief

Master Sgt. Dudley Hinote,told a TV news crew coveringthe concert, "The excellencedemonstrated by the musi-cians on stage is a reflectionof the excellence carried outdaily by Airmen stationedaround the world. Their self-less service and sacrifices en-sure the freedoms we enjoyas Americans.""I think it is a great service

that the Airmen of Note andthe Air Force present theseconcerts free of charge, allow-ing people of all income levelsand all ages, to come out andenjoy America's music andjazz," Hasse concluded. Hinote explained,

"Through the power of mu-sic, Airmen of the Air ForceBand open doors in com-munities and help buildand enhance joint andcoalition partnerships,around the world.""God Bless America,"

Martin proudly exclaimedas she left the stage follow-ing the concert.

IT1 Brandon Darby, Defense Intelligence Agency member, is this week's Ace on Deck.Darby was nominated for being a model Sailor and outstanding representative of thequality of people working at JBAB.

What is your favorite part of your job? I enjoy interfacing with great people.

The opportunity to serve with so manyother great service members is truly thebest part of my day.

What's your favorite color, and why? Red, it's all about the Nebraska Corn-

huskers and Kansas City Chiefs!

Where is your hometown? Skidmore, Mo.

What's your favorite candy? Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. They come

in pairs, so there is always one to share.What is your favorite movie quote? The quote is from the movie

"Hoosiers" during a scene where fiveplayers are on the floor functioning as onesingle unit. "Team, team, team. No onemore important than the other."

If you could have any super power,what would it be and why? To fly, I live in Baltimore and that drive

to JBAB everyday is painful.

What would you do if you won $1 million?I currently drive a 1997 Honda Accord

with no air conditioning, I would definite-ly start there. After that I would startthinking long term for my kid's well being.18 years from now college might actuallycost $1 million. It would be a nice start.

Who inspires you, and why? My wife, Jessica. I have twin 20 month

old children, Max and Ava, and the job shedoes with them is truly inspiring. Her pa-tience and support with my Military dutyis unmatched, she is truly the one whoenables me to be successful.

What is your best military memory? By far my best military memory was

manning the rails on my way back homefrom my first deployment aboard the USSRoss. To deploy after September 11th,complete a successful deployment, andthen come back home to people waitingto greet you, it was awesome.

What do you want people to knowabout you? I am a pretty simple guy. I love my

family, sports, and the military. There'snot a lot else to it.

The big blue bussespulled up in front of the JointBase Anacostia-Bolling Com-missary to deliver some veryspecial items. Nearly sixtypreschoolers arrived fromLeckie Elementary School. Leckie is located off-base,

but serves some childrenwho live at JBAB. However,there were many children onthe field trip who had neverbeen on base before.Assistant commissary

store manager Harry Farrelwas at the front door to wel-come the young guests. "We are glad to invite the

kids to the commissary be-cause we want to participatein community events," Farrelsaid. "Plus the commissary isa great place to learn aboutnutrition and we want them tolearn healthy life style habitsnow while they're young." The children are study-

ing nutrition and healthyfood choices in their class-room so the trip to the com-missary was appropriate ac-cording to their teacher, AlvaRowe. Rowe has been ateacher for 30 years andsupports good nutrition. "Right now our classroom

is set up like a grocery storewith the different departmentslike produce and meats," saidRowe. "Some of the childrendon't go to the grocery storewith their parents so this is veryexciting for them," she said.The children walked

through the commissary withFarrel stopping to visit witheach of the department man-agers to learn about the foodin that section. Some of thestudents asked a lot questionsat the seafood department,particularly about the lobsters.

The lobsters helped Roweexplain another teachingpoint for the nutrition in-struction: self-regulation. Shewants the children to knowthat they have choices whenit comes to healthy eating.The children reinforce those

ideas through make believeplay in the classroom. One of the children visiting

the commissary was LaneiTarango, daughter of CorporalAnna Tarango, JBAB SecurityServices. Tarango helped organ-ize the field trip for the students.

"This is the school our kidsgo to and it only makes sensethat we develop a relationshipbetween them and JBAB," saidTarango. "The kids see militarypersonnel in uniform all thetime in their school so they havea curiosity about base already.

This field trip allows them to seewhat a military base looks likeand experience a little bit of themilitary life style."The children paraded

through the store garneringsmiles and nods from otherpeople doing their normal

shopping. The children leftwith a nutritional snackcourtesy of Farrel."We have some things for

them to take back to school,a goody bag to remind themof their visit here," said Farrel."I hope they all come back."

Keys to victory Redskin's keys to victory

against the Seahawks:1. No Turnovers.Washington has turned the

ball over 21 times this year,that's tied for the most in theleague. For them to have anychance on Sunday, they mustprotect the ball.

2. Get off to a good start.One of the hardest places

to get a win is at CenturyLinkfield in Seattle. For the Red-skins to get a win, they need toget an early lead and take thecrowd out of the game.3. Pressure Tarvaris Jackson.The Redskins defensive

has 27 sacks on the year. That'sthe third most in the NFL.Against the Cowboys, theysacked Tony Romo 4 times.

Jackson has been sacked 22times on the season. That'sthe sixth most in the league. Ifthey can get pressure on him,the Redskins can force himinto making mistakes.

PredictionRedskins 20Seahawks 17

sons in the NFL, most recentlywith the Washington Redskins.His 89 quarterback sacks andfour appearances in the ProBowl earned his place in histo-ry as one of the Redskins' great-est players of all time.
