Simple cheek swab leads to renewed hope
By Tech. Sgt. Stacia
Zachary
352nd Special Operations Wing
(Provisional)
RAF MILDENHALL, England
— Today’s American Airmen are
warriors who answered their
nation’s call. Each Airman who
serves gives something essential
to the mission - protecting the
base perimeter, launching aircraft, infiltrating Special Tactics
Airmen into a hostile area or creating an air bridge by delivering
fuel to aircraft while airborne.
Some Airmen continue to
give, even when the mission
ends.
For Capt. Jeffrey Falcone,
321st Special Tactics Squadron
director of operations, giving
more started with a trip to a base
blood drive in 2001.
“In December 2001, I was
donating blood and they were
doing a bone marrow donor registration drive at the same time,”
Falcone said. “During the initial
blood donation interview, I was
asked if I wanted to take part
in the donor registration. Since
it was a simple cheek swab I
gave consent without putting too
much thought into it. I didn’t actually consider what it would be
like to be a donor at that time.”
Individuals who donate have
their samples logged into a national database. This registry
allows medical facilities identify
who could be a potential match
for a person in need of bone marrow. People can be on a registry
for years before being identified
as a potential match, if ever.
“One of the hurdles we face is
the time gap from when a person
donates to when they become a
match,” said Kathryn Bransdtad,
C.W. Bill Young Department of
Defense Marrow Donor Program recruiter. “When we call,
people think we’re telemarketers
because they forget they’ve donated. So, we like to tell people,
Individuals who donate have their samples logged into a
national database. This registry allows medical facilities
identify who could be a potential match for a person in need
of bone marrow. People can be on a registry for years before
being identified as a potential match, if ever.
‘you may have forgotten us, but
we haven’t forgotten you.’ ”
In 2011, Falcone was informed
by the C.W. Bill Young DoD Marrow Donor Program he was a potential match. Although this was
an unexpected call, Falcone very
much wished to help - only problem was he was deploying soon
after this notification. In 2014, the
call came again and this time, he
accepted.
“In April 2014, I was informed
again that I had been identified
as a potential match for a patient
in need of a marrow transplant,”
he said.
Everything moved rapidly
after that. Soon after the notification, Falcone had a phone
consultation with a program
coordinator. This coordinator
discussed the entire process of
testing to see if Falcone was the
perfect match - which a quick
blood sample taken at the hospital on RAF Lakenheath confirmed - up to the donation.
“The donor program made my
appointments for me. All I had to
do was show up. They confirmed
from my blood draws that I was
a match for a 55-year-old male
patient with acute lymphoblastic
leukemia,” Falcone said.
The process involved a lot of
paperwork to include consent
forms, program policies, travel
guidelines and reimbursement
procedures, commander approval, physical instructions and
a health history questionnaire.
“I was given educational
materials as well as some paperwork to complete,” he said.
“I had a specific person from
the program assigned to me the
entire time and they were readily
available to answer questions.
After completing all of the paperwork I was booked for a donation
in June - less than two months
after the initial notification.”
The donor program made all
the travel arrangements, too.
“They pay for flights, hotel,
taxis, food and other related
expenses,” Falcone said. “They
even paid for someone to accompany me during the trip.”
The process that Falcone underwent to donate his bone marrow is called peripheral blood
stem cell donation. This process
takes five days with the first four
days allotted to receive a shot
which boosts the number of stem
cells in a person’s body and one
day of collection which lasted
three hours for Falcone.
“The staff, from start to finish,
was very supportive and attentive,” Falcone said.
Recovery from the bone marrow donation was quicker than
Falcone expected.
“Recovery was no big deal. I
never felt that bad at all — just
tired, minor headaches and muscle aches, Falcone said. “I think
I felt close to 100 percent after
about a week.”
In fact, Falcone said the process was so well enacted and the
people were so professional that
the entire experience was one he
wouldn’t mind repeating.
“I thought about not donating
because of work commitments
and potential side effects, but I
decided those were excuses not
legitimate reasons,” Falcone
said. “Once I started having
more frequent communication
with the donor program, I felt
much better about it because of
how supportive they were.”
One of the donor program’s
objectives is to make the process
as easy as possible. By working
with the DoD, it is able to tap into
a larger pool of donors from a
broad spectrum of nationalities.
“We are able to find more
matches because of the diversity
within the military,” Bransdtad
said. “And, with the amount of
people in the service, we have
a large majority of healthy and
young people who can help.”
One interesting fact about
donating bone marrow samples
is this increases the selection
of candidates who could potentially save a life. Bone marrow
matches greatly depend on the
ethnicity of people. For example,
a person of German-Italian
descent is more likely to find a
match if the donor is of the same
pedigree.
“The diversity of ethnicity is
greater (in the military) which
allows us to get as many people
from these ethnicities as possible,” Bransdtad said. “This
greatly increases the chances of
saving a life.”
Within every person lies the
chance to save a life. The gratitude from Falcone’s bone marrow recipient impacted his life,
too, and is one of the reasons he
will continue to remain on the
bone marrow registry.
“I would definitely do it again,
without hesitation,” Falcone
said. “I received letters from my
recipient and his wife about four
months after the donation. The
gratitude they expressed was
amazing. I had never had anyone
in my life be that thankful for
something I had done. It was a
very humbling and rewarding
experience.”

1st SOLRS Air Commando wins trophy
By Airman 1st Class Andrea Posey
1st Special Operations Wing
Master Sergeant James
Albanesi received the General Lew Allen, Jr., Trophy
for 2014, Feb. 27, at the
Pentagon in recognition of
his outstanding contributions while assigned as the
Forward Area Refueling
Point Manager at the 1st
Special Operations Logistics Readiness Squadron,
on Hurlburt Field.
This trophy is awarded
annually to honor a baselevel officer and a senior
non-commissioned officer
working in aircraft, munitions or missile maintenance. Albanesi earned
this award for his expert
management of the largest Forward Area Refueling Point team in the Air
Force.
“He flawlessly executed
74 forward area refueling
operations, 17 joint combat
readiness exercises and 18
classes,” according to the
award citation. “[This enabled] 4,300 combined joint
special operation personnel the ability to execute
infiltration and resupply
missions for special operations forces in hostile
territory.”
Additionally, Albanesi
established a new nonstandard aviation special
operations force capability
for the MC-12W and UA-28
aircrafts. He also designed
a new four-point and sixpoint configuration, which
increased United States
Special Operations Command vertical lift aircraft
refueling capabilities during operations, according
to the citation.
Albanesi enlisted in the
United States Air Force
in August 1996. His many
assignments include 86th
Supply Squadron, Ramstein
Air Base, Germany and
31st Supply Squadron, Aviano Air Base, Italy. His jobs
throughout his career have
been in the Petroleum Oils
and Lubricant career field.
“Master Sgt. Albanesi and
Hurlburt DFACs get evaluated
By Airman 1st Class Jeff Parkinson
1st Special Operation Wing
Public Affairs
A team of evaluators for
the John L. Hennessy Award
visited Hurlburt’s two dining
facilities Feb. 9 and 10, here.
The team evaluated
the Riptide and Reef Dining Facility management
effectiveness, force readiness support, food quality,
employee and customer relations, resource conservation and safety-awareness
training.
The results of the evaluation will determine which
base will win this year’s
Hennessy Trophy.
The John L. Hennessy
Award is the oldest military
food service award. Established in 1957, it is named
for the late John Hennessy, a
hotel and restaurant executive who served on advisory
boards to improve military
food service.
“Military members dining
at Hurlburt Field are treated
to award-winning food prepared by honored personnel,” said Staff Sgt. Kim
Hayes, 1st Special Operation
Force Support Squadron,
contracting officer representative. “Hurlburt’s dining facilities believe a team
dedicated to excellence can
achieve amazing results.”
Hurlburt’s dining facilities have won the award
seven times in the past, the
most recent being in 2012.
Although the results of
the Hennessy Award will
not be announced until later
this year, one Air Commando was chosen for the Hennessy Travelers’ Association
Award for Excellence.
For exhibiting the highest standards of profession-
alism, attitude and culinary
skill, Airman 1st Class Jonathan Martinez, 1st SOFSS
services apprentice, will attend a week of training on a
continuing education scholarship at the annual Armed
Force Forum for Culinary
Excellence.
“Winning the award was
a blessing, an accomplishment that I was selected
out of everyone who did
extremely well,” he said.
“It made me feel real good
about myself and my team.”

the economy. In 2013 the
unemployment rate was
7.4 percent (15.5 percent
among those 16 to 24
years old) and it was difficult to find employment.”
The jobless rate now is
5.8 percent, lowest in six
years.
“As the economy continues to expand we can
expect recruiting to get
tougher and tougher,”
CNA warns.
As of Sept. 30, 2013, active duty strength stood at
1.37 million, down 41,000
over the previous two
years. That was 600,000
fewer enlisted than were
on active duty in 1973
when the draft ended.
The Marine Corps,
smallest of Department
of Defense services, had
the same number of active duty members in
2013 (196,000) as it did 40
years earlier. Yet over that
period, Army active duty
strength fell 63 percent, to
528,000; Navy strength fell
54 percent, to 320,000; and
Air Force dropped by 46
percent, to under 327,000.
The all-volunteer force
is far more senior than
during the draft-era when
skills were less technical and services needed
fewer careerists. The
services were flush with
quality recruits from 2011
through 2013 due not only
to a poor economy but a
post-war drawdown that
allowed the Army and Marine Corps, in particular,
to be more selective than
in the past.
Recruits are deemed
high quality if they have
at least a high school
diploma and entrance
exam scores that are at or
above the 50th percentile
of test scores nationwide.
In 2013, the proportion of
high-quality recruits was
96 percent for Air Force
and Coast Guard, 82 percent for Navy, 72 percent
for Marine Corps and 61
percent for Army.

The number of Hispanics in uniform is climbing,
though not at a pace to
match Hispanic population growth nationwide.
In 1978, the report notes,
Hispanics were 6.1 percent of accessions; by
2013 they were 15.5 percent, still short of 21.1
percent Hispanics among
all recruit-age youth.
Asians are the fastest
