and he creates an environment onhis show that is both educational andfun,” she said. “I love that he providesviewers with tips and tricks on howto introduce healthier options intoeveryday cooking.”Chef Jeff said he and his show are

very connected and committed to thenation’s armed services.“We cook on many military bases

around the country,” he said. “Wesaid we wanted to come here anddo something not only to showcaseamazing food that might be a littlehealthier, but to showcase themilitary.We want to show the folks out therethat military folks can burn in thekitchen, too.”Deckert said it’s always a pleasure

to cook with other chefs who are alsopassionate about health and fresh,delicious food.The pair made several lamb dishes

using fresh and seasonal vegetables.“For me the focus is always fresh

ingredients and trying to stay awayfrom processed foods,” she said.She said she also appreciated that

Chef Jeff didn’t skimp on flavorbecause that helps people realizethat healthy food can be flavorfuland delicious.“I do not like the stigma that

healthy food has to taste like card-board or have no flavor, so I like tochange people’s minds,” she said.“When I cook for myself and friends,I like to focus on fresh proteins, veg-etables and some grains.”

Deckert said amazingly tasty foodcan be created by using fresh herbs,spices, vinegars and healthy oils toenhance fresh ingredients.“It’s also a challenge, but like I said,

I love to change people’s minds andsurprise them with dishes that theywould never normally eat, but lovewhen they taste it,” she said.Deckert, 30, was already a classi-

cally-trained chef before she enlistedin the Army in 2010 and said shealways loved cooking as a child.“I always wanted to be in the

kitchen making a mess out of some-thing,” she said.In high school, she participated in

a two-year program called ProStart

which solidified her decision to pursuea career in food service.“Realizing that I could cook and

further my career in food servicemanagement almost seemed surreal,”she said. “How could something soenjoyable turn into a career?”Deckert attended Johnson and

Wales University in Denver, Col.,where she earned an associates inculinary arts and a bachelor’s in foodservice management. She is currentlyworking on her master’s in nutrition.An airtime for Deckert’s Flip My

ridingmotorcycles is a dan-gerous sport, and the onlyway to prevent accidents isfor commanders to allowmore safety rides.“We needmore of these,”

said Sims. “Commandersshy away from these types ofgroups because they thinkSoldiers are being lazy andtrying to get off of workor because they don’t ridethemselves.”Between 1999 and 2010,

the leading cause of deathamong service memberswas motorcycle-relatedaccidents, according tothe Armed Forces HealthSurvei l lance Center,Medical SurveillanceMonthly Report.In 2012, the number of

motor vehicle accidentsdeclined to its lowest level,but motorcycle-relatedfatalities continue to bethe leading cause of death,according to the report.“We are try ing to

mitigate risk involved inriding motorcycles in theNational Capital Region,”said 1st Lt. Shane Cooli.“Ultimately, our goal is toprevent fatalities throughinteractive, collaborativeshared knowledge andshared riding experiencebetween novice riders and

those who have ridden forquite some time.”The Marine Corps

is revamping its currentmotorcycle safety programwhich is detailed inMarineCorps Order 5100.19F.Beta testing for the newprogram begins in spring

2015 in Quantico, Va.,according to Cooli.“What theMarineCorps

is trying to do is providetechniques and proceduresfor safe operation, breakingand cornering in real lifespeeds,” said Cooli. “Thecurrent program, which

theCorps provides throughthemotorcycle safety foun-dation, you only go up toabout 25 miles per hour.Our service members needto know how to stop andcorner at speeds 55 and up,because those are the speedswe are at most often.”
