Road Trip: Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans, Louisiana

Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans is a base of the United States military located in Belle Chasse, unincorporated Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, United States. NAS JRB New Orleans is home to a Navy Reserve strike fighter squadron and a fleet logistics support squadron, the 159th Fighter Wing (159 FW) of the Louisiana Air National Guard, Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans, a detachment of a Marine Corps Reserve light helicopter attack squadron, as well as other US Navy & US Army activities.

As home to commands representing multiple government agencies, NAS JRB New Orleans supports a unique population who live, work or serve onboard the installation. On a daily basis, NAS JRB New Orleans is a constant center of activity for air operations, ground operations and a variety of family support services.

From major military construction projects to the replacement of the smallest segment of sidewalk, NAS JRB New Orleans consistently and aggressively implements improvements to operations support, quality of life and the safety of personnel.

NAS JRB New Orleans regularly interacts with government and community organizations to improve public relations and ensure the Navy is recognized as a good steward of public funds and an involved member of the local community.

With the oldest and largest state charter school on board a DOD installation and an “A” school recipient, Belle Chasse Academy, NAS JRB New Orleans provides superior educational services to more than 900 K-8 students. Along with the more than 900 family units onboard the installation, NAS JRB New Orleans is easily recognizable as a superb family environment.

The base has a 24/7 operating schedule to support both the 159 FW's NORAD air sovereignty/homeland defense requirements and for Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans search and rescue/maritime law enforcement/port security missions. It contains a military airport known as Alvin Callender Field which is located three nautical miles south of the central business district of New Orleans.

With Us in the Valley

Read: Psalm 23

I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Psalm 23:4

As Hannah Wilberforce (aunt of British abolitionist William Wilberforce) lay dying, she wrote a letter in which she mentioned hearing about the death of a fellow believer in Jesus: “Happy is the dear man who is gone to glory, now in the presence of Jesus, whom unseen he loved. My heart seemed to jump for joy.” Then she described her own situation: “Myself, better and worse; Jesus, as good as ever.”

Her words make me think of Psalm 23, where David writes, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley [the valley of the shadow of death], I will fear no evil, for you are with me” (v. 4). Those words leap from the page because it’s there, in the middle of the valley of the shadow of death, where David’s description of God turns deeply personal. He moves from talking about God in the beginning of the psalm—“the Lord is my shepherd” (v. 1)—to talking to Him: “for you are with me” (v. 4, italics added).

How reassuring it is to know that almighty God who “brought forth the whole world” (90:2) is so compassionate that He walks with us through even the most difficult places. Whether our situation turns better or worse, we can turn to our Shepherd, Savior, and Friend and find Him “as good as ever.” So good that death itself is vanquished, and we will “dwell in the house of the Lord forever” (23:6). — James Banks

How does it comfort you to know that Jesus our Shepherd is always with you? How can you share that hope with someone today?

My Shepherd, thank You for Your perfect faithfulness and kindness to me. Help me to stay near You today.

Bible in a year: Isaiah 23–25; Philippians 1

Good evening, lauren, and thank you for today's Road Trip: Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans, Louisiana.

In 1982, one of my (retired Marine Lt. Col.) dad’s best friends was the C.O. of the Marine contingent. I was working a summer job on an offshore platform, crewchanging out of Venice. They would let me sleep at their house on base...which was an antebellum house. The whole base was an old plantation, and the commmanding admiral lived in the big house.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, unique, for the road trippers!

My nephew owns a house in Crown Point, Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.

When there would be ‘activity’ on the Belle Chase base, which meant that there were much aircraft landing and taking off at the base. This was usually when they would have “practice alerts.”

We always knew in advance when this ‘activity’ was going to happen.

We would go ‘fishing’ in Bayou Barataria in my nephew’s boat so that we could watch all of the aircraft pass almost directly over us to land at the base. They were mostly A-10 Warthogs which we would see but there would sometimes be F-14s, also. Did we catch fish? Nah, we were there to watch the aircraft! ;-)
