COMMENTARY

by Jennifer Piver-Renna, Ph.D., Health Promotion & Wellness PortfolioU.S. Army Public Health Command (Provisional)

Nothing defines the summer season better than the ultimate vacation. In 2009, U.S. residents logged 1.5 billion trips for leisure purposes and most often traveled to visit relatives, shop, visit friends, sightsee and visit beaches. When the kids are out of school and the weather is warm, airports and highways are packed during the months of June, July and August with travelers eager to reach destinations more exciting, fun or relaxing.

Preparing for an upcoming vacation requires a good deal of planning. We put a lot of thought into where we’d like to go, how we’ll get there, where we’ll stay

and what we’ll do. In the midst of making those preparations, however, remember to plan for your safety as well. While vacations are meant to relieve stress, they often include traveling to unfamiliar locations and situations that can place you at greater risk of injury, illness or crime.

To help make your next vacation worry-free, follow these simple travel tips:

Tell a trusted friend. Make sure someone knows where you are going, the route you plan to take and when you plan to arrive and return. Give them the phone number of the place where you are staying and your cell phone number so they can contact you in case of an emergency.

Route it out. Know before you leave the route you plan to take. Make an itinerary

and include contact information for the airline and rental car company. If you’re driving, identify safe places to stop for a meal or to stretch your legs about every two hours.

Action plan for emergencies. Pack a basic first aid kit and copies of important paperwork, especially for international travel. If you’re traveling with children, make sure they know what to do if they become lost or separated from you.

Vigilance is key. Educate yourself on the area before you head out to explore. Always stay alert and aware of your surroundings.

Exercise caution when discussing your vacation plans. You may be making polite conversation when you talk to neighbors or co-workers or post on social

networking sites about your vacation plans, but remember that you are also advertising that you won’t be home for a specific length of time.

Lock it up. Keep your valuables safe by locking up your house and leaving the key with a friend, not under a doormat. When you arrive at your hotel, ensure that the door to your room can be adequately secured. Do not leave valuables in plain sight in your rental car.

Follow these simple tips to keep you and your family safe this summer and create positive memories of your vacation. Safe travels!

USAPHC Offers Summer Vacation Safety Tips

The Department of the Army requires that the public be informed on a regular basis that military ranges, impact areas and training areas are restricted to authorized personnel only.

All non-authorized personnel must stay away from danger areas (range fans) for active ranges, areas known to contain unexploded munitions also known as “duds” and comply with range safety regulations.

The true size and shape of an impact zone and danger areas may change daily, depending upon the training mission and type of weapon

being fired.Entry into any range, training area

or impact zone is prohibited without prior coordination with Department of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security Range Control. Permission may be requested by calling (804) 765-2286 or 765-2287.

The official Range Bulletin is published weekly. It includes the live fire schedule and activities, training area schedules and other pertinent information.

The Range Bulletin is available in Fort Lee Public folders or by calling Range Control.

The public is reminded to be aware that unexploded ordnance and munitions may be present in areas other than the ranges.

Some of these may be more than 100 years old but can remain dangerous.

If a suspected ordnance is found it should not be touched. Report it immediately to the Range Control Office at the above number.

Everyone is asked to treat the ranges with respect and remain vigilant while present on them.

The final project under the installation’s base align-ment construction plan is near completion.

A $3 million Mifflin Hall parking lot is part of instal-lation’s $1.7 billion Base Realignment and Closure plan implemented in 2005.

The project included the demolition of the old Mifflin Hall and the addition of a parade field and more than 800 parking spaces, said Anthony J. Weaver, resident engi-neer, Army Corps of Engineers, Norfolk District.

Two wing parking lots were completed within the past year. The Sgt. Seay Parade Field is scheduled to be com-pleted by the end of the week. The main parking lot, a pave-over and expansion of an older parking lot, was ex-pected to be completed last week, but the project hit a snag.

“We ran into problems with the soils in the existing parking lot,” said Weaver. “The soil is typical of what you might find at Fort Lee – a kind of clay silt that is really susceptible to moisture.”

Weaver said the quality of clay soil and a wet winter sea-son combined to make the surface unsuitable for pavement.

“We have some remediation work to do there,” he said, noting that additional funds will be needed to complete the project. Still, he expects it to be finished in a few weeks.

“I would say (the project will be complete) by mid-to-late August,” said Weaver.

When complete, the parking lot will total 832 spaces situated between Byrd and Adams avenues. The irrigated, 300 by 260-foot parade field will feature flag holders close to Mifflin Hall and a reviewing stand on the opposite end of the field.

“When it’s done it will be a really nice area,” said

Weaver. “The landscaping will look good, the parking will be improved and it really will benefit the community.”

The new Mifflin Hall, home of the Combined Arms Support Command headquarters element, was completed in January 2010. The new parking area sits where the old Mifflin Hall was located. The old building stood 49 years and was formerly home to the Quartermaster Center and School.

A Fort Lee Soldier has been recognizedfor his work in Afghanistan.

Sgt. 1st Class Chad W. Parkening, atransportation management coordina-tor, was recently named an Excellencein Traffic Management Award winnerby the Military Surface Deployment andDistribution Command,headquartered at Scott AirForce Base, Ill.

Parkening, assignedto the Combined ArmsSupport Command’sAnalysis and IntegrationDivision, was one of eight2011 awardees cited bythe U.S. TransportationCommand element. He saidthe award is a mark of dis-tinction.

“This award means a lotto me,” said the 36-year-oldTorrance, Calif., native. “Itsays I’ve achieved some-thing beyond the average.It really sets me apart frommy peers.”

The ETMA winners are honored for awide-range of transportation duties includ-ing support for transportation program-ming initiatives, deployment readinessoperations, ammunition and hazardousmaterial delivery, classified material han-dling, military airlift routing and logisticssupport. The awardees represent agenciesand organizations throughout the federalgovernment.

Parkening earned the accolade as a re-sult of his deployment to Afghanistan lastyear. While assigned to the CombinedJoint Special Operations Task Force –Afghanistan, Joint Logistics Cell, he han-dled transportation coordination for rotaryand fixed-wing aircraft and host-nationtrucking and passenger movement for allspecial operations efforts.

“We moved around 2,000 troops andcoordinated more than 200 airdrops fortroops in combat,” said Parkening.

Airdrop or aerial delivery is the prac-tice of dropping supplies and equipmentfrom airborne aircraft. It is the preferred

Parkening

method of delivery for friendly forces inAfghanistan, a mountainous country thatlacks a modern road system.

“Without airdrops, there would beSoldiers who wouldn’t be fed, whowouldn’t have mail, who wouldn’t havefood, water … the whole shebang,” saidParkening. “They wouldn’t be able to per-form their missions.”

Earl Driver, Parkening’s supervisor inthe Lessons Learned andQuality Assurance sec-tion, submitted him forthe award after his arrivalat Fort Lee.

“He’s an outstandingSoldier,” said Driver. “Iknew he just returnedfrom Afghanistan. Wetalked about the greatwork that he did theresupporting the specialoperations forces. It wasjust remarkable to hearwhat he’d done as a trafficmanagement coordinator.He is very deserving.”

Driver, who added thatParkening’s good work

continues at Fort Lee, said he thoughtParkening had a good chance of winning,despite the fact that he has never submit-ted anyone for the award.

“I was confident that his (award) packetwould be very competitive if not at the topof the heap anyway,” he said. “I wasn’tthat surprised. He’s that good.”

Parkening said he attributes his workethic to the training and mentorship he’sreceived over his 18-year career, namelyhis experiences while assigned to the 7thSpecial Forces Group at Fort Bragg, N.C.

“They (the special operators) assistedme in learning their way of conductingsustainment and logistics operations,” hesaid. “Not that it was any different thanwhat’s done by the conventional forces,but they manage things differently. Thatwas an attribute – learning how to do andgo out and applying what I learned.”

Parkening will be officially recog-nized Sept. 14 at the National DefenseTransportation Agency’s Global LogisticsConference scheduled to take place inPhoenix.

Members of the Fort Lee community gathered Tuesday on the Kenner Army Health Clinic front lawn to say farewell to one commander and welcome another.

Maj. Gen. Carla Hawley-Bowland, com-manding general of the North Atlantic Regional Medical Command, oversaw the passing of colors from outgoing com-mander, Col. Vivian T. Hutson, to incoming commander, Col. Joseph S. Pina, during a change of command ceremony.

Hawley-Bowland said she enjoys chang-es of command because they give her the opportunity to recognize commanders and their staffs of dedicated professionals.

“Today is a special day when we say farewell to an exceptional commander and leader, Col. Vivian Hutson,” said Hawley-Bowland. “Your leadership and compas-sion touched the lives of your Soldiers, your patients and members of the local commu-nity.”

During Hutson’s tenure as commander and even under the strain of the BRAC moves, Hawley-Bowland said KAHC was recognized for its improved customer ser-vice and performance by the Army surgeon general.

“Colonel Hutson transformed the cul-ture at Kenner with her philosophy of mov-ing from good to great,” she said. “Kenner received the surgeon general’s award for most improved customer service in 2010 and also received the surgeon general’s award for performance in both 2010 and 2011.”

Pina Assumes Command of KAHC

In 2010, the Joint Commission gave KAHC a perfect, no findings score during its triennial survey.

“You rarely ever get that,” Hawley-Bowland said. “These awards and accredi-tation are a testament to the incredible job by Colonel Hutson and her dedicated team. Vivian, I thank you for your outstanding service in this assignment.”

Effective communication and “look-ing for the win-win” while working with people are important to Kenner Army Health Clinic’s new commander, Col. Thomas S. Pina. The critical care and pulmonary specialist took com-mand of KAHC Tuesday. A native of Cape Verde Islands, Africa, Pina and his family come to Fort Lee after 14 years in Hawaii.

Of the professionals working with him at Kenner, Pina said, “We care. We will do everything possible within our means to provide the best quality care and hear what (our clients) have to say. There are tough decisions that will have to be made for budgetary reasons.”

Pina plans to use good communica-tion to keep in touch with Kenner’s cli-ent base, he said.

As an infant, Pina immigrated to New York City with his parents. He grew up in Rhode Island where he graduated from high school and Brown University before earning a medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania. Pina completed his internship and residency in internal medicine at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

While assigned to Cutler Army Hospital, Fort Devens, Mass., he was deployed to the Persian Gulf area dur-ing the first Gulf War in 1990. After completing his tour at Cutler as chief of

internal medicine, he did a fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medi-cine at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Wash., and the University of Washington.

Pina served as chief of pulmonary and critical care medicine and then chief of the Department of Medicine at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu until he deployed to Iraq in 2008. During his Operation Iraqi Freedom deployment, he served as chief of critical care medi-cine and assistant deputy commander for clinical services with the 10th Combat Support Hospital. Returning to Tripler, Pina served as deputy surgeon for the U.S. Army, Pacific, until his transfer to Kenner.

While in the Pacific, Pina did ex-tensive work on international medical exchanges in Asia and Australia. He chaired the U.S. Science Committee of the U.S. Secretariat of the Asian Pacific Military Medicine Conference, for which he was deputy chair in 2010.

While building relationships that would sustain the medical missions, Pina searched for what people and groups share. “I looked for commonali-ties like families,” he said. “I’m always looking for the win-win” in situations.

Gen. Ulysses S. Grant called it “the saddest affair Ihave witnessed in the war.” While managing to kill 278Confederate soldiers instantly, the Union Army’s plan to diga tunnel beneath the South’s defensive line and detonate fourtons of explosives underneath them backfired. On July 30,1864, more than 1,500 Union soldiers were killed in the of-fensive following the explosion in one of Petersburg’s mostfamous battles, the Battle of the Crater.

Celebrating the 147th anniversary of the Battle of theCrater, the Petersburg National Battlefield will hold a com-memoration event July 30-31. Participants will discovermore about the battle and explore the fascinating lives of thesoldiers who fought and died there.

With a campaign between Grant and Confederate Gen.Robert E. Lee lasting almost 10 months in the area, thePetersburg National Battlefield is rich in Civil War storieslike the Battle of the Crater. Seventy thousand Confederateand Union soldiers lost their lives in those 10 months, thelongest siege of any American war. Many major offensiveswere fought in the area during that time including the battlesat Weldon Railroad, Reams Station, Burgess Hill, Hatcher’sRun, Fort Stedman and Five Forks.

More than just preserving the history of some of the mostimportant battles in the Civil War, the Petersburg NationalBattlefield offers a variety of historical, educational, enter-tainment and physical activities year-round. Though namedthe Petersburg National Battlefield, the national park also ex-tends to areas in Dinwiddie and Hopewell. It is host to artil-lery demonstrations, tours, a summer concert series, environ-mental camps, mounted trails rides and star-gazing events.

History buffs enjoy the preservation of Civil War arti-facts, architecture and stories inherent on battlefield grounds.Nature lovers find various plant and animal life along thehiking trails and benefit from the environmental camps of-fered there. Children and adults can take pleasure in the con-cert series, mounted trail rides and the combination of historyand nature at the Petersburg National Battlefield.

Fees to enter the park are nominal: $5 per vehicle or $15for an annual pass.

SERVING ALL MILITARY!


by Patrick BuffettManaging Editor

Any initiative that “takes America’s sons and daughters off the battlefield and out of harm’s way but still gets the job done” is definitely worth exploring, noted William F. Moore, CASCOM deputy to the commanding gen-eral, during opening remarks at a robotics seminar here Tuesday.

“We want to tap into your ex-pertise,” Moore told the 40-plus attendees from Lockheed Martin, the Joint Ground Robotics Enterprise, the U.S. Navy Diverse Technologies Corporation, the Army Capabilities Integration Center and other big names in the arena of future force develop-ment.

“Tell us how we can support the warfighter without placing that Soldier in the cab or in the line of fire,” Moore said. “That’s

what we’re hoping to achieve here over the next few days.”

With that, the CASCOM Robotic Technologies for Logistic Distribution Seminar was under-way. The agenda for the three-day event included a series of tech-nology briefings, with titles like “Agile Robotics,” “Battlefield Extraction Assist Robot,” “Cargo Unmanned Aerial System” and “Hybrid Airship Fuel Freighter.”

Attendees were asked to use that information while building possible sustainment solutions for a fictitious combat scenario in which logistical support had to be delivered quickly, in different types of weather and terrain, and under varying types of hostile and noncombatant activity. The ultimate goal was to develop in-novative, out-of-the-box plans that “reduced man-hours of risk” while maintaining adequate lev-els of support.

“I call it a discovery event,” said Sam Jones, a functional ana-lyst in the CASCOM Sustainment Battle Lab – the agency that orga-nized the seminar. “Here, we have an opportunity to look at many different options and collaborate with other subject matter experts without distraction. That’s usual-ly not possible in an office setting where you can get so busy put-ting out fires you can’t see past the end of your nose.”

The results of the seminar will be far-reaching, Jones also noted. Each of the Sustainment Centers of Excellence across the Army has been tasked by the Training and Doctrine Command to study its primary mission functions (lines of effort in military ver-nacular) and offer up new ideas that could benefit the warfighter. The concepts collected during this “Campaign of Learning” will help the Army’s senior leaders

decide which avenues of future force development are plausible.

“Putting it another way that’s even more meaningful, what we accomplish during this seminar

could save a Soldier’s life some-day,” Jones concluded. “That’s the bottom line of everything we do in the battle lab, and it moti-vates us every day.”

FOCUS ON SUSTAINMENT

by Matthew MontgomeryCASCOM Public Affairs

Research shows that the millennial generation can text, surf the internet, chat with friends, watch television and listen to music all while doing their school work. This has prompted the Army’s implementation of new training pilot programs that capitalize on the unique learning styles and multi-tasking ability of today’s Soldier.

One of the programs is Smart Training, which uses these abilities in a constructive manner to increase knowledge re-tention and provide the Army with a better trained Soldier. According to Sgt. 1st Class Darrell Richards, course manager with the Transportation School’s Motor Transport Operator Course, the new training is characterized by shorter instruction blocks, peer-to-peer coaching and more engaging lessons.

“We are trying to get away from traditional PowerPoint training because it doesn’t work with this new generation of Soldiers,” said Richards. “The way millennials learn today is a lot different than how Soldiers learned in the past. They are in a digital learning environment, so the old method of stay-ing focused on one subject doesn’t hold their attention and we end up losing them.”

The Transportation School, which is part of CASCOM, is the proponent for the course. The 58th Transportation

Battalion, 3rd Chemical Brigade, located at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., volunteered to conduct the pilot program for the Training and Doctrine Command and has already graduated one class using this training method. The MTOC is respon-sible for training 75 percent of the Army’s drivers.

The MTOC pilot program is an example of how Army training commands are using new methods to reach the mil-lennial generation of Soldiers. The model fits into the new training mentality that shifts from topic to topic to keep stu-dents engaged. The training integrates ideas from the Army Learning Concept, Army CAPSTONE Concept and the Army Training Concept 2012-2020.

The course introduces students to the basics of operating and maintaining the Family of Medium Tactical Truck 5-ton cargo truck, Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck load handling system, and the M915 tractor semi-trailer. The pilot program has taken students from the traditional seven-week training program that focused on one vehicle for a week, to a more comprehensive program.

“For the first week, it is still general knowledge, but weeks two and three are now called ground operations,” said Richards. “This means instead of having only one vehicle per week, now we have all three vehicle systems. The ad-vantage is that the students stay engaged and receive more driving time.”

Trans School Offers a ‘Smart’er Way to Train

While packing more hands-on training into the same time line might seem difficult, Richards contends the students are getting the same instruction. “We have the same information, we’ve just restructured the method of delivery to meet their learning style.”

This concept is carried out for the remainder of training. Weeks four and five focus on convoy operations. Instead of convoying one vehicle type per week under the old training, they now use all three vehicles during the two-week period.

Students receive instruction using the M915 tractor semi-trailer during the Mobile Transport Operator Course at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.

RICHMOND – As a cost saving mea-sure, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles will significantly reduce the amount of 3 x 8 ½-inch card stock it uses and begin printing most vehicle registration cards on standard 8 ½ x 11-inch paper. The new format took effect July 1.

The standard-size registration cards will contain all of the same information that is on the smaller cards. This new format is expected to save more than $57,000 per year.

“DMV is committed to reducing spending during these fiscally challeng-ing times,” said DMV Commissioner Richard D. Holcomb. “Reducing card stock is just one of the many ways we are achieving our goal of cutting costs while

maintaining quality customer service.”Registrations renewed online,

through the mail or via telephone will still be printed on the smaller registra-tion cards.

Most overload permits, operating au-thority clip cards, sales person licenses and non-repairable certificates also will be printed on standard 8 ½ x 11-inch paper.

You can view a sample paper registration at www.dmv.now.com/webdoc/citizen/vehicles/pdf/sample_reg_card.pdf.

Under a bright blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds Fort Lee residents enjoyed a day of fun and appreciation Saturday during the Life at Lee hosted by the Fort Lee Commonwealth Communities, LLC, better known as the Villages at Fort Lee.

The third annual event brought more than 1,000 residents to the Sisisky Boulevard Community Center where installation organizations and agencies, vendors, games and activities pro-vided information and entertainment.

Community managers were on hand to greet residents and help them get registered for a free barbecue lunch provided by Nanny’s Catering and tickets for the many door prizes provided by the sponsors – Minol (the company that manages residents’ utility billing), the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, Home Depot, Strosnider Chevrolet – and the Villages at Fort Lee. More than 20 prizes and gifts were raffled during the three-hour event including a flat screen television, an iPad 2, a Sony PlayStation and a Nintendo Xbox Kinect.

Parents relaxed on the lawn while children participated in sack races, corn hole games, fishing and frolicking in the splash park.

Fort Lee Fire and Emergency Service’s Smoke House was a popular attraction along with the fire engine-shaped bounce house. The event honors service members and their families,

said leasing manager, Priscilla Lewis. “This is a way to bring the community on post together to

experience all the benefits that Fort Lee has to offer.”

Neighbors Ashley Priebe and Kim Gimble agreed it was a great event and a chance to meet commu-nity members and enjoy what the installation has to offer.

“The Villages treat us very well,” said Staff Sgt. Richard Melendez as he watched three of his four chil-dren participate in the activities. “They are awesome and always go above and beyond to serve us.”

The Life at Lee event is the larg-est scale resident celebration the Villages host annually. Smaller community-based events are held throughout the year.

Lewis said block parties are host-ed for the Village with the largest participation in the quarterly resi-dent surveys, incentives are provid-ed for residents with the best curb appeal and yard beautification.

To find out more about programs in the Villages, call (804) 733-1558.

Residents Gather for Appreciation, Celebration Life at Lee

Kim Gimble and Ashley Priebe set up a central location on the lawn near the children’s activities during the Life at Lee event Saturday. The two mothers were able to watch their children enjoy the attrac-tions while relaxing nearby. Infant Lawson Priebe had all the com-forts of home for the afternoon celebration.

Marcus Melendez tries his luck with a fishing game while his mom looks on. The simple-look-ing contest was more challenging than he an-ticipated but in the end he caught his fish and won a prize. Fishing was one of several games employees of the Villages at Fort Lee organized for the youngest military members here.

Since her first day as the post commander’s wife, Michelle Hodge has hit the ground running to show her support of the Fort Lee community.

“This is what I’ve done from day one – I try to make a good impression and take part in my community,” said Michelle. “I always encourage other spouses to join me. Going to events is a great way to support our Soldiers.”

Michelle, the spouse to Maj. Gen. James L. Hodge, CASCOM and Fort Lee commanding general, keeps her schedule full with events across post, from changes of com-mand to deployment and redeployment ceremonies and may-be an open house or graduation event for good measure.

“By attending the events that involve Soldiers, I feel like I’m offering my best support to Fort Lee,” she said. “During those moments, I look for opportunities to mentor and sup-port our families – I just love them and I hope that shows in everything I do.”

Recognizing her role as the first lady of Fort Lee, Michelle is adept at listening, understanding and offering words of encouragement or even advice when needed. She said she realizes that a generational gap may exist between younger families and her, but that does not dissuade her from that all-important mission of keeping the Army Family together.

“I love our young spouses – but I feel like we keep getting further and further away from them as well as our young troops,” Michelle said. “I think it’s so important to mentor them and tell them it’s OK – it’s OK to admit you’re stressed or to have concerns. We all come from diverse backgrounds but we all come together as an Army Family. We’re here to support each other.”

Getting involved has always been the key to survival for Army Families, Michelle noted. It’s one of the surest ways to familiarize yourself with the community and get to know people and services who can help families tackle those try-ing times every military family faces.

“Always try to know your community – know at least one neighbor, know at least one person in your Soldier’s unit – because it’s going to help you especially in times of deployment or family crisis,” she said. “Your Army Family will always be there for you. I totally believe that because they’ve been there for us in good and bad. I feel like we all come together for a common goal – we are supporting the Army, even if we don’t wear a uniform. By supporting that Soldier, you’re supporting your country.”

Fort Lee represents a unique challenge for the new com-mand team as it’s primarily a training installation. It also has several tenants, and it can be difficult to figure out what the installation needs, said Michelle, noting her desire to know about most events on post.

“It’s a very steep learning curve to try to wrap my arms around Soldiers and families and understand how I, as the commander’s spouse, can make sure they are being taken care of – that they are getting the classes they need, they are getting the support they need, that the (Family Readiness Groups) are up and running, that they are being taken care

CASCOM CG Spouse Encourages All to Get Involved

of with housing,” she said. “It was difficult at first because I was used to being part of a division.”

In a division, the central focus tends to be deployments and training for deployments, whereas Fort Lee is more di-verse and has a group that deploys, but it also has multiple schools and agencies with various missions.

Attending post events comes naturally for Michelle, as she said she’s done it from day one. After being married to Hodge at 20 years old, with him fresh out of West Point, she said they moved to Fort Eustis where she had great men-tors.

“One of them said something about volunteering at Red Cross and they were having a blood drive,” she said. “I thought ‘OK, I’ll try that.’ I went to the blood drive and there’s all these troops in there, and I just got involved help-ing them. I thought it was great and so much fun.

“I was getting to know Soldiers and figuring out what they do in the Army because I was not an Army brat,” Michelle continued. “I didn’t know anything about the military – I came in so blindly.”

Another event she got involved with right from the begin-ning was the spouses’ club – and she said she always tracked down the club whenever they moved to a new installation. The first luncheon she attended still had spouses sporting hats and gloves.

“I remember some new Army friends who would go with me (to the luncheons) and they would never go back,” Michelle said. “They saw some of the older Army ways and

were afraid of that. I wasn’t at all – I just thought, ‘You just make the best of wherever you are.’ I always tried to think of that – no matter what assignment or organization. That’s just life – whether it’s military or civilian – you’re going to run into things you may not agree with, but you just have to make the best of it.”

The Hodges recently attended a two-star conference where they learned about different initiatives in the Army and Michelle said she had an opportunity to talk to other spouses who are part of a post command team.

“The great thing about these conferences is being able to network with other post commanders’ spouses,” she said. “We share the issues we see at the installations. It makes me realize that everyone has the same concerns.”

Most of the spouses there have been part of the Army fam-ily for several decades, said Michelle, and she realizes that most families have been in the Army only in a time of war.

“We had the years of Cold War and training – but we didn’t have the concerns, worries and needs of spouses now,” she said. “We really have to do a better job of being more open, more empathetic. We don’t really know what it’s like to have your husband in battle all the time and constantly deployed.

“I feel like I’ve always had a good appreciation of the younger spouses, but I feel like I have a better understanding of what they are going through now,” Michelle continued. “I am more empathetic now when the Soldiers want to make a career change. I understand a little bit more each year with the stress that war brings – they are in survival mode, trying to keep their families together.”

For spouses new to the Army or new to an installation, she encourages them to join the installation spouses’ club and to visit Army Community Service to get involved.

“I’ve never gone on a post and waited for someone to come to me,” she said. “I always start with the spouses club – I know I can get involved there and they go out into the community. They aren’t just a luncheon group – but the so-cial networking there is key.

“I also visit the ACS and find out what they have,” Michelle continued. “They aren’t going to come and knock on your door – but they are there. Once you start knowing what’s there, you can empower yourself.”

Michelle said being an Army spouse has made her inde-pendent, and learning about what’s available has helped her make it through deployments.

“I didn’t always know if I could get in contact with my husband, especially when he was deployed, to make deci-sions at home,” she said. “I didn’t want to bother him with minor decisions at home that were really irrelevant or some-thing he couldn’t change – that would just add stress to his day and he needed to be mission focused.

“It makes you proud of yourself – you’re concerned about deployment and worried about your husband on the front lines – but once you get through it and look back to think about the things you did – it makes you proud of yourself,” she continued. “It really gives you a sense of pride because you know you can do it. When the next deployment comes up, you’re better prepared.”

Turning her attention to Pina, the in-coming commander, Hawley-Bowland said she recently served with him at Pacific Regional Medical Command in Hawaii, and she expressed confidence in his abilities.

“Colonel Pina will do a great job here,” she said. “Joseph, I know you will continue the record of excellence that has been established at Kenner, and you will make your own mark on the command.”

Hutson thanked everyone for attend-ing and thanked her staff at Kenner.

“To the Soldiers, it has been reward-ing to me to see you accomplish things you didn’t know you could do before,” she said. “You’re amazing and your en-thusiasm and energy motivates me ev-ery day.

“To all of Kenner, it has been the greatest privilege and honor to serve with you – your spirit and dedication are shown in the results of the Joint Commission survey last year and the

many awards we’ve received for pro-ductivity, patient safety and customer satisfaction,” Hutson continued. “I will take from here a better appreciation of what a great team can accomplish to-gether.”

Pina also thanked everyone for at-tending the ceremony.

“Not only did we get to celebrate a great leader in Colonel Hutson, we are launching the opportunity for me to serve our military, dependents, retirees and veterans of Fort Lee,” he said.

Taking time out to recognize his new staff, he commented on the awards and perfect score on the accreditation.

“To the Kenner Army Health Clinic – your reputation is well deserved,” Pina said. “From your outstanding quality and productivity awards, to your suc-cessful civilian partnerships in the com-munity, by all accounts, you are the pre-miere outpatient medical facility in the Army. I will do my duty and (provide my best) service as your commander.”

Lt. Gen. Robert L. Caslen visited the Combined Arms Support Command July 7 to see new training initiatives firsthand and learn about how leader development is being implemented at the Army Logistics University.

Caslen is the commanding general for the Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth. He also serves as the deputy commanding general for Combined Arms, Training and Doctrine Command, where one of his major priorities is leader devel-opment. For this reason, he was very in-terested in how CASCOM is training new officers and using digital technology in the classroom.

According to William F. Moore, CASCOM deputy to the commanding gen-eral, “Lt. Gen. Caslen heard great things about our ‘Connecting Soldiers to Digital Media’ initiatives.” For this reason, he wanted to see how CASCOM was imple-menting the new CSDM program that fo-cuses on getting new technology into the hands of military personnel.

To accomplish this, Caslen was provid-ed an overview of CASCOM training and leader development as they relate to Army Learning Concept 2015 doctrine. He was then briefed on the current status of CSDA

programs by members of the Technology Integration Branch, and how they are lead-ing the Army in application development.

Following the briefings, Caslen joined ALU students at one of the newest build-ings on the installation, the Navy/Air Force dining facility. The small but diverse group of captains shared a meal with the general in an intimate setting that afforded them the opportunity to discuss a variety of topics.

“He loves to talk to new captains, and we are the largest producer of captains career course graduates in the Army,” said Moore. “The last time he visited CASCOM, he spoke to more than 450 captains and he couldn’t believe we had that many attend-ing ALU.

“This meeting served as a great opportu-nity for him to mentor the captains and dis-cuss Army initiatives,” Moore continued. “He also explained why we are implement-ing certain programs and got deep into the discussion of the Profession of Arms and how important it is. He finished with the importance of Army values and how they apply to every aspect of life.”

Moore said the visit was beneficial for CASCOM as it allowed the organization to showcase current training. It also provided Caslen with a comprehensive look at how leader development is being transformed with the use of technology and application implementation in the classroom.

A new graphic image was recently unveiled to illustrate the basics of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. What a healthy meal looks like is now represented by a colorful plate divid-ed into four wedges representing fruits, vegetables, grains and proteins, plus a small circle, where a drinking glass would sit, represent-ing dairy. The new graphic, referred to as “MyPlate,” replaces the familiar “MyPyramid” image as an easy-to-un-derstand visual cue to help consumers adopt the healthy eating habits detailed in the dietary guidelines.

There are plenty of details you’ll want to know as you begin to build your own healthy plate. All of those are available at

www.choosemyplate.gov. If you’re used to using the familiar www.mypyramid.gov address, don’t worry, it will still take you to the right place. The dietary guidelines themselves are still the same, including

these three concepts you can start to imple-ment right away:Balancing calories

• Enjoy your food, but eat less.

• Avoid oversized portions.Foods to increase

• Make half your plate fruits and veg-etables.

• Make at least half your grain choic-es whole grains.

• Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1 per-cent) milk.Foods to reduce

• Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread and frozen meals, and choose the foods with lower numbers.

• Drink water instead of sugary drinks.

“What we’re doing with Smart Training is spending no more than two hours on one task, then switching to another,” said Richards. “All these tasks tie back to the same end goal of teaching.”

Week six stays the same with tactical operations and weapon system familiariza-tion. However, under the new program there is an eight-hour scenario-based tactical convoy operation built in to capture all of the tasks learned in the course. This allows the students to learn the most current tech-niques being used to support the warfighter.

This method of instruc-tion has already produced positive results. The average miles a class drives has risen from 21,000 to 29,000 – an increase of more than 38 percent with the first group. Richards said the result is a better trained Soldier being sent to the field.

“The students are doing better under the new meth-ods,” said Richards. “We’ve already seen an increase in test scores and knowledge retention.”

Plans for the future include implementing a peer-to-peer instructional program where students assist in training.

“We are going to start us-ing peer instructors with the next group,” said Richards. “These are student instruc-tors that we identify as pick-ing up the concepts and material quickly. Once iden-tified, they will test out of a subject and then be allowed to help their fellow students grasp the concepts.”

Richards was pleased with the feedback following the first class and said his team of instructors is looking for-ward to implementing new changes to training as the pi-lot program progresses.

The transition from military to civilian life is always difficult, but veterans with disabilities may face addi-tional challenges. It is important to stay informed about the many programs and services available when making that transition. For some veterans with disabilities, as-sistive technology and adaptive equipment can increase, maintain or improve their functional capabilities and make it possible for a person to live as independently as possible at home, at work, at school and in the com-munity.

Assistive technology is any item, piece of equipment or product used to increase, maintain or improve func-tional capabilities of individuals with disabilities. An AT device can range from a low-tech piece of equipment at low cost, to a high-tech piece of equipment that can be very expensive. Examples of low-tech equipment in-clude a brace or crutch, a reaching stick, a pen/pencil grip or an adapted bottle opener. A powered wheelchair, stair lift or an adapted computer are examples of high-tech devices. There are many AT products available to meet the unique needs of each individual, and an AT assessment can help identify the best AT device to meet one’s needs.

Veterans receiving services through the Department of Veterans Affairs can obtain needed assistive technol-ogy through the Prosthetics and Sensory Aids Services Program. Veterans with service-connected disabilities can also receive financial assistance to purchase or modify an automobile through the Automobile Adaptive Equipment Program or to make their home more acces-sible through the Home Improvements and Structural Alterations Program. To obtain more information on these VA benefits, call 1-877-222-8387 or visit www.prosthetics.va.gov.

The Virginia Assistive Technology System is a state-wide program authorized and funded by the Assistive

Technology Act of 2004, and administered by the Virginia Department of Rehabilitative Services. The mission of VATS is increasing awareness, accessibil-ity and acquisition of assistive technology. Through the VATS Information and Referral System, callers can ac-cess information on assistive technology products, fund-ing options, and resources that range from therapists to service providers to vendors of assistive technology de-vices and services. Contact VATS at 1-800-435-8490 or visit its website at www.vats.org.

There are many other resources available to pay for Assistive Technology in Virginia. Clients of one of the state disability agencies who need AT to function inde-pendently at work, at home or in your community may find the agency will pay for what they need. Those with private health insurance may submit a claim to cover the cost of medical equipment. People on Medicaid who need AT for medical conditions find Medicaid will purchase the device(s).

Persons who do not qualify for any of these resourc-es can apply for a loan from the NewWell Fund. The NewWell Fund provides loans to purchase assistive technology, including vehicles and home modifica-tions, with longer repayment terms, low monthly pay-ments and low interest rates. NewWell also manages the Consumer Services Funds, which is a fund of last resort for persons with minimal income. Contact them at 1-866-835-5976 or visit www.NewWellFund.org for more details.

The Virginia Office for Protection and Advocacy can provide information, technical assistance and, in some cases, legal representation. For assistance in obtaining assistive technology, contact VOPA at (804) 225-2042 or 1-800-552-3962.

Seconds And Not Quite The Real Deal


by Capt. Damian NottinghamExecutive Officer, B Company, 266th Quartermaster Battalion

While searching for things to do in the Fort Lee area, many people think their choices are limited to battle-fields, museums or shopping. From this point forward, 187 Soldiers of Bravo Company, 266th Quartermaster Battalion, will think of “Street Wars.”

The Soldiers attended the “Street Wars” event on July 1 at the Virginia Motorsports Park in Dinwiddie County. The park sits 10 minutes southwest of Fort Lee off U.S. Route 1. Park Manager Trey Dodson catered to Soldiers and tailored the events to highlight the Army’s presence.

All drag races take place on a quarter-mile track. The competitions feature muscle cars, dragsters, modified pick-up trucks, speed bikes and street racers. Between races, Bravo Company Soldiers displayed their physical fitness in a car pushing contest. The Soldiers also let loose in a big wheel race and shared information about their hometown with the spectators.

The evening commenced with the opening of the con-cession stands. Automobile owners showed off their cars to spectators. The Soldiers were in awe as they experi-enced everything from Philly Cheese Steaks and Coca-Cola to an enhanced 1971 Chevy Nova. The 60-acre parking pit was packed with classics, dragsters and home-made racers.

As the races began with two cars approaching the track, the crowd clearly favored the ’81 Camaro over the ’85 Mustang. A Virginia Motorsports Park pit employee sprayed water on the roadway. Both drivers used the oppor-tunity to rev their engines, peel out and spread a plume of tire smoke and smell over the audience. The crowd roared

with excitement and sat on the edg-es of the seats with anticipation for the upcoming race. The cars got set. The light turned yellow, signaling to the drivers that the race was about to start . . . then green!

The engines wailed, and in a flash the cars took off. Nine seconds and 32 milliseconds later the ’85 Mustang crossed the line beating the Camaro by less than a second. This was just the start of a night with hundreds of races filled with burn-outs, poppa-wheelies, engine fires, near crashes and machines that could reach more than 150 miles per hour in less than eight seconds star-ing from a halted position.

During the intermission, as the park employees cleaned the track, the Soldiers provided the entertainment. The four pla-toons of Bravo Company selected their top six competi-tors to represent their platoon in a car pushing contest. The track was shortened to 200 meters to prevent ex-haustion but still allow the Soldiers to pick up speed dur-ing the footrace. The Pit Bulls went first and scored 24 seconds, and then came the Bloodhounds who scored 21 seconds.

Up next were the two senior platoons, the Greyhounds and the Rottweilers. The Greyhounds lined up first and had a quick start. The squad gave its all and racked up an amazing time of 19 seconds. The company’s senior pla-toon, the Rottweilers, laughed off the Greyhound time and

taunted the previous platoons over the public address sys-tem. The squad lined up to start, and when the light turned green they began to push, and when they crossed the line the score prompter flashed 22 seconds. The Greyhounds had won. Their efforts were forever immortalized in a Virginia Motorsports Park trophy.

The races continued into the night. Bulldog Company par-ticipated in numerous other events, and morale was high go-ing into the Independence Day weekend. Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation funded the company outing.

Virginia Motorsports is just outside Petersburg at 8018 Boydton Plank Road. For information about events and costs, call (804) 862-1160.

Commissary customers can al-ways expect to see average savings of 30 percent or more in their stores. However, the Defense Commissary Agency recently unveiled new pro-motional signs to illuminate even greater deals, said the agency’s di-rector and CEO.

DeCA’s new promotional sign program is a joint effort with the commissary’s industry partners that will help customers get the most value from their commissary benefit, said Joseph H. Jeu. The signs, marked as “Extra Savings,” “Everyday Savings” and “Hot New Item,” began showing up in stores June 1.

“The signs are sturdy, eye-catching and help draw more attention to both the extra discounts available in their commissaries during promotional periods and to everyday savings,” he said. “The messages and the colorful graph-ics communicate the tremendous value our customers ex-perience as they consistently use their benefit.”

As a benefit, commissaries sell products at cost. However, certain items are discounted beyond normal store savings during promotional periods or as special dai-ly sales items. Previous sales signs required ties, clips, ar-

rows and tape to keep them on the shelves. The ensemble made for a cluttered shelf area. Also, the old signs were printed on paper that was often curled up, especially when exposed to moisture in refrigerated and frozen food departments.

The new signs are printed on vinyl that’s more durable and coordinates well with standard price labels and electronic shelf labels. Along with communicat-ing promotion, the signs also include the product name, sale price and the amount

of savings. “Extra Savings” indicate products that are part of a

promotional package, such as a special on barbecue sauc-es and other related grilling items. “Everyday Savings” point to items marked as daily low price sales. They aren’t necessarily tied to any promotional packages. And last, “Hot New Item” represents products that have been intro-duced to the store within the past three months.

“We see these signs as a shopping multiplier that helps our customers identify where the best savings are,” said DeCA Sales Director Chris Burns. “This is yet another example of where DeCA and its network of industry partners – manufacturers, vendors, suppliers and brokers –have worked together to promote the value of the com-missary benefit.”

WASHINGTON – The Army Wounded Warrior program’s 7th Annual Symposium is taking place this week in Orlando, Fla., with focused discussions that will identify the most important transition and care is-sues facing Soldiers and their families.

More than 90 wounded, ill and injured Soldiers, veterans and family members will participate in intensive group discussions based on their personal experiences. They will ultimately identify the top five issues in Soldier care, which span topics affecting families, Warrior Transition Units, finance and veterans affairs, explained Col. Greg Gadson, director of AW2.

“Simply put, this event is about listen-ing to those who have been through it and learning about ways we can continue to improve how we care for our most se-verely wounded, injured and ill Soldiers, veterans and their families, and then take action,” Gadson said.

During the conference, Sarah Gannaway,

wife of injured Soldier Maj. Bruce Gannaway, spoke about her family’s expe-rience with injury, rehabilitation and con-tinued active-duty service with the Army, and the challenges the family faced. In December of 2007, Bruce stepped on an im-provised explosive device. He lost his left leg below the knee but returned to duty.

The major requires wheelchair acces-sible housing, but because he is no longer in a Warrior Transition Unit, he does not receive priority placement for housing, his wife explained.

“Through the Residential Communities Initiative, the Army has done admirable things to improve the quality of housing available to active-duty families,” Sarah said, “but it can be very difficult to get housing at a garrison because supply is limited and waiting lists are long.”

The Gannaways anticipate coming as-signments to be about two years long each, but because of the 12- to 18-month waiting lists, securing housing is a regular chal-lenge. Sarah believes the AW2 program is a valuable way for wounded Soldiers and

families to identify problems, like housing challenges, and find solutions.

“Each of the issues brought up dur-ing this symposium deserves a fair listen and some thoughtful discussion about what could be done to fix the problem. Ultimately, the goal is for everyone’s life-style to get a little freer,” she said.

Retired Sgt. Maj. Taylor Njagu, who suffers from post-traumatic stress in addi-tion to other injuries, also spoke during the conference about transitioning as an in-jured Soldier into a civilian job. He wants to encourage employers to find better av-enues for screening resumes so Soldiers, whose civilian skills may not be readily apparent, won’t be filtered out of the ap-plication process too early in an automated system.

Njagu credits AW2 for helping him through his own transition and finding a civilian job. He now works for the Naval Facilities and Training Command.

“I decided to participate in the 2011 AW2 Symposium because I want to cham-pion the causes of the wounded warriors

and their families,” Njagu said. “I love them and their families and have been in their shoes. They deserve the best the na-tion has to offer because they gave the best they had to offer: themselves.”

The AW2 Symposium runs through July 22.

Previous symposia have produced im-provements in access to treatment for traumatic brain injury at all military in-stallations, the creation of Soldier Family Assistance Centers, new legislation that gives a monthly stipend to caregivers, an additional $10,000 in Department of Veterans Affairs housing benefits and ex-panded Traumatic Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance coverage, Gadson said.

“The Army is committed to provid-ing the best possible care and support to every Soldier who becomes wounded, ill or injured,” Gadson added, “And we can always make it better. I know that every single delegate here this week has a great perspective on how to improve the system for those who are wounded today and in years to come.”

Most pet-owners love spending the long, sunny days of summer outdoors with our furry companions, but being overea-ger in hot weather can spell danger, warns American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals experts.

Take these simple precautions to help pre-vent your pet from overheating. And if you suspect your pet is suffering from heat stroke, get help from your veterinarian immediately.Made in the Shade

Pets can get dehydrated quickly, so give them plenty of fresh, clean water when it’s hot outdoors. Make sure your pets have a shady place to get out of the sun, be careful to not over-exercise them, and keep them in-doors when it’s extremely hot.Know the Warning Signs

Symptoms of overheating in pets include excessive panting or difficulty breathing, in-creased heart and respiratory rate, drooling, mild weakness, stupor or even collapse. They

can also include seizures, bloody diarrhea and vomit along with an elevated body tem-perature exceeding 104 degrees. No Parking

Never leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle. On a hot day, a parked car can become a furnace in no time – even with the windows open – which could lead to fatal heat stroke. Summer Style

Giving your dog a lightweight summer hair-cut helps prevent overheating. Shave down to a 1-inch length, never to the skin, so your dog still has some protection from the sun. Street Smarts

When the temperature is very high, don’t let your dog linger on hot asphalt. Being so close the ground, a pet’s body can heat up quickly, and sensitive paw pads can burn. Keep walks during these times to a minimum.

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training will be available at Fort Lee this fall, as a result of the collaboration between Kenner Army Health Clinic Department of Behavioral Health and the Virginia Department of Health.

ASIST is a two-day workshop that pre-pares caregivers of all backgrounds to provide suicide first aid to persons at risk. ASIST is similar to a Basic Life Course, ex-cept the focus is to aid those at risk of suicide. Therefore, this workshop is not exclusively for clinicians. ASIST also allows partici-pants opportunities to network and partner with other community-based organizations.

ASIST helps participants to explore their experiences and attitudes about suicide, de-velop a better understanding of the needs of a person at risk of suicide, learn how to use suicide first aid to meet those needs, and build awareness and enhance skills that most individuals already possess.

ASIST is presented during two days of practical training in both large and small groups and is very interactive.

The sessions are set for Oct. 18-19 and

Nov. 8-9 at the Memorial Chapel.There is no fee to attend the training, but

KAHC asks that participants register only if their schedule allows commitment to the two full days. Meals are not provided. ASIST will provide a training manual. Certificates and CEUs (if applicable) will not be given to applicants who miss any part of the train-ing.

Once registered, participants will receive more details on training times. There is am-ple free parking at the chapel.

The minimum number per class is 15 with a maximum of 35. To enter Fort Lee, you must have proper identification and proof of current insurance.

To register for the October session, visit www.surveymonkey.com/s/FtLeeASISTOctober. To register for the November session, visit www.surveymonkey.com/s/FtLeeASISTNovember.

The rural health team includes nurse educators and social workers offering a variety of services to meet veteran health care needs. The program pro-vides health education and services to veterans living in rural central Virginia communities. The team also partici-

pates in a wide array of community and state events including fairs, festivals and other activities.

Community partners are also in-cluded in the event to enhance outreach capabilities for veterans and their fami-lies. Participants include the Virginia Wounded Warriors Project, the Women Veterans Program, MyHealtheVet and other organizations.

“OEF/OIF veterans presumed to have a medical condition believed to be associated with their military service are eligible for five years of free care at any veterans medical center,” accord-ing to Ruth Miller, Women Veteran’s Outreach Program coordinator.
