Volunteers ignite life-long passion for reading BY LT. CMDR. JIM REMINGTON JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON – Volunteers from Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) and other area bases joined the civic volunteer group City Year Washington on Oct. 25 to kickoff Madeline Leckie Elementary School’s reading program “What’s On Your Shelf?” Their task was to build 200 individual bookshelves and then help each student customize his or her bookshelf to be taken home at the end of the day with paint, brushes, and stencils. Heavy lifting on the volunteer side was carried out by City Year Washington, D.C. City Year, an AmeriCorps program, is a national service organization which unites young adults, ages 17 to 24, from diverse racial, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds for a demanding year of full-time community service, leadership development, and civic engagement. City Year D.C.
leaders Molly Vetter and Matt Zittle directed their team of sixteen and an equal number of JBAB volunteers who were more than excited to help kids build and paint bookshelves on a cold day in October. “That’s what working City Year is all about,” Vetter said. “For City, you volunteer a year of service to the organization. You can come right out of high school or college and say ‘I want to give a year of service giving back to the community.’ It’s an admirable thing. I’ve been able to watch people give a year and grow and I’ve grown myself.” Before any students emerged from the school to the blacktop area where they would spend part of their morning painting their own bookshelves, Zittle accurately predicted some big smiles and excitement to come. “Today will be a very pleasant surprise for a lot of kids at the school. I think they were under the impression that they were just going to be building stuff,” Zittle said. “They
didn’t realize that they would be able to take these bookshelves home.” The day started early with one group of JBAB volunteers assembling small bookshelves, 200 to be exact. The shelves are the center piece of a campaign that Leckie Elementary School Principal Atasha James titled in the form of a question, “What’s On Your Shelf?” Initially Capital One’s philanthropic group The Heart of America Foundation READesign was seeking a partner in Washington’s Ward 8. James spoke with them on behalf of Leckie Elementary and said she also sought a partnership that would be productive and meaningful. “I told them that I want my heart and soul to be poured into reading, because without that our kids are on a rocky foundation,” James said. “And if the students walk away with nothing else from elementary school it should be a real love for reading.” James added that she grew up

Study shows benefits of water taxi service BY PAUL BELLO JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Commander Navy Capt. Anthony T. Calandra discusses the possibility of a water taxi service to the region with Libby Garvey, a council member with Arlington County, and Amanda Chuzi, a transportation aide to Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine.
WASHINGTON – A year-long study commissioned by several area counties, including Prince William, Fairfax, Arlington and Charles County, Md., has determined there is a demand for a water taxi service to ferry commuters across the Potomac River and its tributaries. This comes as a result of the area’s robust population and the market of jobs located along the water, according to the study. Tim Payne, a principal at the firm handling the study, has combed over results that show a sustainable market to support a daily water taxi service to various places in the region, includ-

ing Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB). To gauge a better understanding of this concept, guests from various agencies and municipalities from around the region, including JBAB Commander Navy Capt. Anthony T. Calandra, were invited to take a tour aboard a water taxi Oct. 28. The tour included a visit to the Pentagon’s marina and docking area before returning to JBAB. “In Alexandria alone, we found there are a little more than 1,800 residents who currently work at either the St. Elizabeth’s U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, or at a building on JBAB,” Payne said during the tour. “A service like this could cut their commute and result in having fewer cars on the road during the morning or evening rush hour.”

While it must be decided whether a service like this should be operated by a public entity or through a public-private partnership, Payne said short connections among Alexandria, Reagan National Airport, National Harbor, the Woodrow Wilson Bridge and Washington are certainly worth pursuing. The Potomac Riverboat Company, which hosted the tour, currently operates a fleet of passenger boats out of Alexandria, Va. While providing service to National Harbor, Md., boats routinely dock just two blocks away from Nationals Park during baseball season. The idea of water taxis and ferries in the region has been talked

Cody testifies to commission on total force BY STAFF SGT. DAVID SALANITRI AIR FORCE PUBLIC AFFAIRS AGENCY

Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James A. Cody addressed members of the National Commission on the Structure of the Air Force Oct. 25 in Arlington, Va. During his testimony, Cody gave his perspective on the Air Force’s current total force status, and addressed his concerns for the future.
WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- The Air Force’s senior enlisted Airman testified in front of the National Commission on the Structure of the Air Force Oct. 25 in Arlington, Va., giving his perspective of the total force and the challenges to building the best balance for the future. Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James A. Cody shared his view on how the Air Force has performed as a total force during the past two decades of war, and addressed deployments for activeduty members, Reserve and Air National Guard. During the testimony, Cody said the effective integration and cohesion of the three components over the last 13 years at war has strengthened the relationship of the total force.
“We’ve been extremely successful,” Cody said. A topic heavily discussed and emphasized during the testimony was the concern about future deployment operations tempo for the Air Force. Cody said Airmen have been able to project air power around the world with success, especially during operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. He also noted there is concern about how much longer Airmen can be asked to deploy as often as they do without it negatively affecting Airmen and their families. Currently, active-duty Airmen have a dwell rate of 1:2, and reserve components are charged with deploying at a 1:5 rate. What a 1:2 dwell rate means is for every one month deployed, an Airman is at home station for two months, and for reserve components, for every one month deployed, they’re not deployed for five months.
“Performance has indicated that we are able to do what our nation asks us to do around the world, when they need us to do it,” Cody said. “But that doesn’t mean we can rely on the current construct going into the future.” During recent years, the Air Force has consistently reduced its active-duty force. Through this reduction, Cody is proud of the fact Airmen are accomplishing the missions asked of them. “The good news is our Airmen do get it done every day,” he said. Appointed by the Fiscal Year 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, the commission is reviewing the Air Force’s structure to determine if and how it should change to meet future missions and funding challenges. The commission’s report and recommendations are due to the president by Feb. 1, 2014.
Naval Reserve Officer opportunities available at the U.S. Naval Academy BY LT. TENG K. OOI, AND CAPT. LINDA J. BELTRA NAVAL HOSPITAL JACKSONVILLE
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Any Naval Reserve Officer interested in an opportunity to teach, inspire, and empower the next generation of American leaders to serve our nation, the U.S. Naval Academy needs qualified individuals, especially at the ranks of lieutenant and lieutenant commander, with at least a master’s degree in an appropriate academic discipline to instruct in designated academic departments

an avid reader and wants to impart some of that love on her students and community. The Heart of America told her that it would do whatever it could to help. To date, the organization has donated nearly 2,000 books to the school’s library, making Leckie’s holdings one of the largest library collections among elementary schools nationwide. In addition to library books, Heart of America donated funds for the materials necessary for the students’ personal bookshelves: wood boards cut to size, nails, paint, paint brushes, and more. But even with the materials, Leckie still needed one more ingredient, volunteers to make it all happen. What happened next is a testament to the importance of solid community relations. Dan Dunham, school liaison officer for JBAB and Naval District Washington, has maintained and strengthened the positive relationship the base has with Leckie Elementary. The subject of this potential project came up early in the summer after James heard that Capital One wanted to partner with Leckie. “She started to plant the seed that we’re going to need volunteers and I said ‘When you have a need

you give me a call and we’ll move it though our chain of command to see if we can get some people involved,’” Dunham said. Through JBAB’s solicitation for volunteers on base and through outreach to other National Capital Area bases and Department of Defense (DOD) agencies to include the Marine Barracks Washington and Fort George G. Meade, JBAB managed to pull together more than fifteen volunteers to include Sailors, Airmen, a Marine, and several civilians. “I think it’s a great turnout,” Dunham said. “Believe it or not we had the exact number that we needed. If we had more people we might have had people standing around.” The carpentry crew comprised of Dunham, JBAB Commander Navy Capt. Anthony T. Calandra, a Marine and two Airmen assembled the bookshelves so efficiently that they completed the assembly portion far ahead of schedule. That meant that as each grade made its way outside to the blacktop, each student had an assembled bookshelf to call his or her own, ready to be decorated according to his or her own creativity and vision. The remaining volunteers were assigned to one of five painting stations where they engaged with students, asked questions about what sort of things the students like
from sports teams to characters to hobbies, and then helped develop plans on how to incorporate those subjects and themes into the styling and design of their bookshelf. It was through those initial discussions that the students and volunteers warmed up to one another. Dunham said that the students with their new bookshelves were not the only ones who got something out of the day; the volunteers came away with something, too. “I think the biggest thing that they’re getting is that instant gratification of helping somebody out and getting a reward for that,” Dunham said. “Kids are saying ‘thank you.’ I heard one student saying ‘I’d like to have that uniform,’ and then the Marine said, ‘Well this is the kind of uniform you have to earn. You can’t just buy this off the shelf.’ And the kid was really excited about that.” For Marine Sgt. Ryan Stitzel, of the Marine Barracks Washington, D.C., who has volunteered in a variety of capacities from soup kitchens to tutoring and mentoring middle and high school age kids, this experience was one of the most fun he’s had. He encouraged others who have not volunteered in the D.C. community to seize the opportunities that arise and to get to know the communities around them. “Considering this is an inner-
city area, a lot of people automatically think that a lot of these kids are troublemakers and have a really rough home life, but that’s not the case at all,” Stitzel said. “A lot of them obviously come from really good backgrounds and upbringings because you didn’t have to tell them how to act, they just did it.” When asked what he got out of the event, Airman 1st Class ShaquileGarcias-Phillips, of the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard, responded excitedly, “Joy! Joy! A lot of joy!” Garcias-Phillips also saw the day as an opportunity to pay forward the advice he received from military members that came to his school when he was the age of these Leckie Elementary students. “Back then when I was in school I had military people come to my school like this, and they told us if we wanted to be in the military we had to stay out of trouble,” GarciasPhillips said. “And their advice actually helped me out because here I am in the military and U.S. Air Force Honor Guard. So I just hope that what I told these kids today will help them out, too.” Navy Airmen Miles Franks, a casket bearer and armorer with the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard, said he had nothing but great feelings at the end of the day. “It was fun putting a smile on their faces and changing their per-
spective on arts and crafts. A lot of kids came out here and they didn’t have any motivation and said ‘I don’t know what to do,’” Franks said. “But if you just give them some ideas and interact with them it just brightens them up. I saw a lot of frowns turn into smiles. For all of us, it made us feel great.” For Franks this was only the beginning of what he hopes will be future volunteering opportunities in the Ward 8 community. “I was talking to the staff to see if there are more programs like this because it would be very good for our command to show these kids that our command and the community supports and enjoys them and that there’s a big life ahead of them,” Franks added. “I’d also like to have these kids come see the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard perform and see what the military offers them.” Dunham, speaking of junior service members such as Franks and Garcias-Phillips, said, “We’ve got some service members who are fresh out of boot camp and they’re learning that it’s not just about the drill all the time. This is part of the mission too: giving back to the community and being a good neighbor.”

A coming home of sorts for new chaplain BY PAUL BELLO JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON – Air Force Chaplain (Capt.) Kraig Smith is quite content with his recent assignment to Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB). A native of southern Maryland, he’s already familiar with the area and is excited to join a growing Protestant community on base. Smith joined the Air Force in 2006 after previously serving as a youth minister in nearby Lexington Park, Md. He’s deployed twice in his career – both times to Qatar where he helped counsel foreign workers and many of the natives there. He has also spent time on a missile base in Wyoming and at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, Okla. In addition to leading Protestant services at JBAB, he hopes to start an Airmen’s Ministry Center at Blanchard Barracks that will help focus attention on marriage and provide some outreach for single service members. He has also signed on as a liaison to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and is eager to get involved with the chapel’s youth programs. “I like to think of myself as a teacher

working alongside other services and agencies. That was certainly the case for him in Oklahoma City earlier this year, as Tinker Air Force Base was a focal point in aid for residents whose homes were decimated by an outbreak of tornadoes. Smith made himself available around the clock once Tinker’s Emergency Family Assistance Center (EFAC) was stood up. As a chaplain, he said the biggest challenge is talking to people who outright refuse help. Though, when people do open themselves up, great things can happen. During his career, Smith has seen Airmen more willing to reach out to their colleagues and that he says speaks volumes – particularly when it comes to suicide awareness and understanding the symptoms of depression. As for his “coming home party” to JBAB, it was a pleasant surprise and one for which his family is grateful. He lives on base with his wife, Jennifer, and their two daughters, Kayla and Sierra. “My goal is to stay in the Air Force the standard 20 years. Personally, I would rather wear out than rust out,” Smith said. “I believe the best leadership is one that builds people up. I hope to help people become what they want to be.”

The FDA, along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Hawaii Department of Health are investigating reports of acute non-viral hepatitis in Hawaii where 29 cases are linked to a dietary supplement. The FDA urges consumers to stop using the product while the investigation continues. Distributed by USPlabs LLC in Dallas, Texas, the product is sold nationwide in retail stores and on the internet. The product has been pulled from Joint Base Andrews (JBA) and Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB).

about for many years – usually culminating in a lengthy debate over cost and whether enough commuters would use the service and justify its purpose. Scott Davies, operations development manager for the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), said the idea is now more palatable due to increased traffic congestion on not only the roads, but on railways, as well. He said a marine highway program was
recently designated that includes the Potomac, Anacostia and Occoquan rivers. This could make commercially viable waterway routes eligible for federal funding, Davies said. “We still have a lot to figure out in terms of cost and land use, but having a maritime service is definitely a smart move,” Davies said. “We already have service to some parts and there’s enough to start a small network. It would be a huge benefit to the region.” Since taking command of JBAB, Calandra has been a proponent of having some type of water service to the base. If the project were to move forward, he promised continued support on his end.

Military parenting website assists communication BY AMAANI LYLE
AMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE
WASHINGTON - Service members who deploy or are otherwise separated from their families due to mission needs now have an online resource allowing them to hone their parenting skills as they reconnect with their children. Pam Murphy, the Defense Department’s lead psychologist for the website, said the launch of http://www.militaryparenting.org offers unprecedented, comprehensive and free computer-based training from a service member’s perspective on parenting and building strong relationships with their children. A clinical psychologist with more than 20 years of experience in community and private practice, Murphy said the Integrated Mental Health Strategy Program is a collaborative initiative between the Veterans Affairs Department and DOD. “We initially did an environmental scan of everything within the DOD as well as commercially available, and one of the areas that seemed to be at a deficit was a comprehensive parenting program that looks at the basics,” Murphy said. She noted that while a plethora of parenting information exists online, it was difficult to identify a free, private “militarycentric” program. “This is one of the first of its kind,” Murphy said. The interactive site, she explained, develops and reinforces parenting skills to help families reconnect through in-depth technology solutions that appeal to younger parents. “Many of the parents in the service

Sabrina Siegele, non-commissioned officer in charge of knowledge operations, both of whom work at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash. “We’ve been through so many parenting classes, counseling and therapy, and a lot of the resources and advice is mirrored on this site,” Sabrina said. “This website is excellent -- it’s a one-stop shop instead of jumping around to multiple appointments.” During family separations, Murphy said, applications such as Skype and Facetime can help in keeping families connected, but the military parenting website provides ideas for technology-based activities that can help in reuniting parents and chilDEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PHOTO dren after a deployment. “A lot of times, Air Force Staff Sgt.
