Thanksgiving Meal ScheduleBy SENIOR AIRMAN DEREK SEIFERTArmy News Service
Roughly 100 U.S. Army Soldiers gathered at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, Nov. 17-21, for the opportunity to earn the newest badge available to Soldiers. However, only three succeeded in earning the Expert Soldier ���������� ��������������������������������have had to earn the ESB.
The ESB course requires Soldiers to pass all components of the Army Combat Fitness Test within the last six months and scoring at least an 80 percent in all events. After the ACFT, eligible Soldiers will have to pass day and night land navigation to move forward to the medical, patrol and weapon lanes. Each lane has 10 tasks and candidates must pass each to continue then culminates with a 12-mile ruck march.
“We’re trying to make sure every Soldier gets back to their warrior skills and battle drills,” said Command Sgt. Maj. Edward Mitchell, command sergeant major at Center for Initial Military Training. “The Skill Level 10 task that every Soldier must be able to do in order to survive in combat.”

“I was on temporary duty in Tennessee when my husband called and told me what happened. I was devastated when I heard about it,” said Elizabeth Rodriguez. “I am so thankful they take their training so seriously.”
Rodriguez is mother to 15-month-old Eliana, who attends child care at one of Fort Jackson’s Child Development Cen-ters. November 7 was a typical day for Eliana while attending childcare when she suddenly turned blue and lost conscious-ness. Eliana had begun choking on a piece of strawberry served during snack time.
“We were just sitting down for snack and she began to
cough,” said Kristy France-Baldwin, program assistant for Hood Street Child Development Center. “I realized she was choking. Protocol states we start back blows. It didn’t work and she turned limp and stopped breathing.”
The back blows France-Baldwin began had little effect to dislodge the food stuck in Eliana’s airway. France-Baldwin said she became emotional out of fear and began crying. That was when Gwendolyn Jefferson, assistant director at Parent Central Services, stepped in to assist.
“Thank God she was there,” France-Baldwin said. “She kept saying, ‘You can do this.’”
Jefferson happened to be at the CDC to pick up her grand-daughter when she heard the commotion coming from another room. She stepped down the hall and saw the event unfolding
and offered words of encouragement to her co-worker.“Sometimes when you’re nervous you don’t forget (you’re
training), you just need a little help,” said Jefferson. She de-livered that help. “She knew what she needed to do, she just needed that little extra (encouragement).”
As Jefferson repeated the words “You can do this,” France-���� ��� ����� ������� ��� ��� ����� ���� ����� ��� ������� ����step of CPR to help clear the bite of strawberry from her air-way despite her emotions.
“All I could think was breath baby, breath,” France-Bald-win said. “Suddenly she woke up as if nothing had happened. I was so excited.”

� A facility with a central heating system has a localized malfunction so part of the building is not heated;
� Only a small fraction of a large facility is occupied, such as a shipping desk in an unheated warehouse.
Statistics about damage caused by space heaters in the workplace are not readily available, but public information is available on the effects of poorly utilized space heaters. Between 2005 and 2009, space heaters caused 32 percent of ������������������������������������������������������-sands of injuries and civilian deaths.
Just say no to space heaters?It would be easy to “just say no,” and totally discourage
the use of space heaters or ban them altogether, but the real-ity remains that no matter how much we tweak the HVAC systems, some areas of the workplace can be just plain cold. On top of that, some workers may have medical conditions that require extra warmth, even when the heating season temperature range is within the Army Regulation 420-1 es-tablished requirement of 68°F +/- 2°F work temperatures.
Space heaters may be permitted temporarily to be used for buildings HVAC malfunctions or personal medical con-dition, but must be used safely in the workplace. These pre-
cautionary requirements include:� The facility manager has
checked that use of the space heat-er will not cause problems with the current electrical load (espe-cially in older buildings) in the re-quired area and that the need can’t be met by adjusting the building HVAC system (after contacting the Directorate of Public Works).
� The space heater is kept away from any combustible ma-terial (refer to the space heater’s manufacturer instructions).
� The space heater is always turned off when the area being heated is not occupied.
� Nothing is ever placed on top of or touching the space heater.
� The space heater is plugged directly into a wall outlet. Do not use extension cords or power strips because of the risk of over-������������������������
����������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������������������������area to decrease, depending on where the thermostat and air returns������������������������������������!�������������
heating.The Fire Department has set some additional
rules, including:� All heaters must be Underwriters Listed ap-
proved for their intended use.� Only electric type heaters are allowed (no gaso-
line or kerosene).� Heaters must have a tip-over automatic shut-
down feature in all directions and only placed on the "����
� Heaters must be kept at least three feet from all ���������������������#�����#�������������#����$�#������cans, and paper boxes.
� Heaters must be monitored when in operation and unplugged when not in use.
� Heaters must be taken out of service immedi-ately and repaired by a competent person if any part of the heater is damaged or the cord is frayed or de-fective.
� Do not use heaters in rooms that will not be continually occupied.
��%���������������������������������������������or exit areas.
Before any space heater can be used on a tempo-rary basis, the facility manager must submit the space heater request form for approval to the Fort Jackson Energy Man-ager at 751-6192 and the Fort Jackson Fire Department at 751-1611.
Before any space heater can be used in a facility on a temporary ba-sis, the facility manager must submit the space heater request form for approval to the Fort Jack-son Energy Manager at 751-6192 and the Fort Jack-son Fire Depart-ment at 751-1611.

Gen. Gus Perna, commanding general of U.S. Army Materiel Command, encouraged Army In-stallation Management Command leaders to “think big and get moving” on continuing improvements to Soldier and Family quality of life initiatives.
“We are here to improve life for Families,” Perna said Nov. 18 during the third-quarter major subor-dinate command update at IMCOM headquarters. IMCOM is a major subordinate command of AMC.
The goal is to create an “assignment of choice” atmosphere at all Army installations, he said.
“I want every installation to be the number one choice, and you are the group to help us get to that,” Perna said. “The key question leaders should ask themselves is, ‘Does it make Army Families happier?’”
Maj. Gen. Timothy P. McGuire, IMCOM Act-ing Commanding General, outlined recent quality
of life highlights in housing, facility investment strategy, and ways of addressing AMC focus areas ����������������$���
McGuire also presented the schedule at the Gar-rison Commander’s Conference, Nov. 19 in San Antonio.
Perna said he wants to hear from commanders on what changes they think are needed, and he urged IMCOM professionals to consider what is best for the Army collectively.

He presented data on installation quality of life assessments; spouse employment opportunities and other programs.
Perna praised IMCOM’s efforts to date and discussed the way ahead.
“Our ability to present the data is our key to success, something peo-ple can understand,” Perna said. “We need to have clarity on each garrison, and we need to be graphic so senior leaders can understand the options available to them.”
Other topics addressed at the quarterly update were base opera-tions and services in support of Army priorities, such as housing, historic homes and the barracks management program. Topics also included pro-viding easier base access for Gold Star Families, honorably discharged veterans, and development of the Digital Garrison mobile app.
Perna encouraged IMCOM pro-fessionals to change the business model to sustain the Army’s good work.
“We need to lead our way through this, not react, and not think the way we always have,” he said. “We need to prioritize funding and provide a solid foundation for the future.”

France-Baldwin said after Eliana gained full consciousness she left the room in the care of another teacher for a moment. She felt sick, a common reaction in the aftermath ��� ��������� ��� ����� `�������"���]� ��-action according to the Psychologist World website.
Once composed, she returned to the room and sat with Eliana until her father came to the center to pick up his daughter. He took Eliana to the Emergency Department where she was later discharged with a clean bill of health.

All CDC personnel are required to com-������_���������������� ���������������� ����begin working within the CDC. Each em-ployee also completes refresher training an-nually to ensure their skills remain sharp in an event such as Eliana’s.
Bolton explained she, along with fellow CDC staff, watched the closed-circuit televi-sion surveillance footage of the event to see how France-Baldwin and Jefferson handled the situation. The footage was used as real-time example of what could occur during a normal day on the job and reinforce the im-���������������������������������������������they receive.

After France-Baldwin and Jefferson ac-cepted their awards, they moved to the back

More than 50 children sing on the steps of the South Carolina Statehouse Nov. 24 to celebrate the lighting of the tree and ushering in the start of the holiday season during the 53rd Annual Governor’s Carolighting. Attendees were treated to musical performances, refreshments of hot cocoa and coffee, and more than a million lights that lit the 50-foot-tall tree.

LightingContinued from Page 13
Mullins and the rest of his band mates played several songs through-out the event along with several choir and a capella groups, bands and hand bell team to set the musical ambiance during the lighting of the tree.
Children and adults danced and sang along to the carols as they were played. Even furry family members were invited to take part in the fes-tivities. One young husky dog even joined in on a round of “Deck the Halls,” leaving those nearest with a smile and chuckle.
Hot cocoa and coffee were served to attendees to help stave off the eve-ning chill as early arrivers hunted down choice places around the State House’s front lawn to set up chairs and blankets to relax and enjoy the show with their families. Some even dressed for the occasion by wearing their ugliest sweaters, reindeer antlers and Santa hats.
Attendees waited in anticipation as Gov. McMaster and his wife Peggy approached the podium to light the tree.
“The talent that you see up here is
one example of the great talent and great future we have for our state,” McMaster said. “Merry Christmas.”
The McMasters and Nichols led a countdown from 10, everyone in at-tendance turned to watch roughly a million lights on the tree lite up. The 50-foot-tall tree can be seen for sev-eral blocks down the streets leading to the State House and illuminate the monuments standing nearby.
As the governor returned to his seat, he was greeted by U.S. Army Training Center and Fort Jackson Commander Brig. Gen. Milford “Beags” Beagle Jr.
The Cocktails, a University of South Carolina all-female a cappella group, sang “O Christmas Tree” after the tree was lit.
Several more song and the bene-diction were delivered as the Caro-lighting came to an end and the at-tendees moved to surround the tree to admire the lights and take photos of families standing in front of it.
“If you missed it, you missed it,” Mullins said. “Next year don’t miss it.”
For those who did miss the event, the 53rd Annual Governor’s Caro-lighting can be watched on YouTube and photos can be found using #gov-ernorscarolighting on social media sites.

Gas cham-ber tearsTrainees of Company C, 2nd Battalion, 60th Infantry Regi-ment, wave their arms and gasp for fresh air as they exit the “gas chamber.” Entering the chamber wearing protec-tive equipment helps them have faith in their protective equipment in the event of a Chemical, Biological, Radio-logical or Nuclear attack. The trainees were exposed to a mild pepper gas that causes eyes to water, noses to run, mouth and throat to burn, and
slight coughing.

According to Mitchell, all Soldiers are eligible to try out for the ESB except for those in military occupational specialties of 68W (combat medic specialist), 18 series (Special Forces) and 11 series (infantry). This badge is meant to raise the bar and standards for Soldiers.
“Soldiers are now getting a taste of what it means to be an elite Soldier,” Mitchell said. “That’s what I mean when I say we’re raising the bar, we’re raising the level and we’re raising the performance of all Soldiers across the Army.”

“(The ESB is) exhausting and challenging but a great experience overall,” Morin said. “I feel like I have really accomplished something and it was a good test to evaluate how well you could complete the task required.”
Mitchell indicated that units across the service should begin preparing their Soldiers for the ESB.
“If you are not getting ready to do an Expert Soldier Badge, then you are wrong,” Mitchell said. “That means you’re not going to challenge your Soldiers, you’re not going to challenge yourself and guess what, you’re not going to meet the lethality of ������������ �{������$��������������������������is one competition that will make sure the Soldiers ������ ���������������������������������������anytime, anyplace and anywhere.”

Family HourStudents and their Families gather at Pierce Terrace Elementary School to enjoy a Thanksgiving style meal together. While meals were offered to parents, some brought bagged lunches to the school and enjoyed lunch with their children and friends. The meal also offered Families a chance to enjoy quality time together as the holiday season ramps up and life can become busy and hectic with fall sports, after school activities and holiday travel.
