Chaplains from around the National Capital Region, including chaplains from the west coast, listen as they are given an overview of why it is important to maintain confidential communications with service members and their families during a professional development course held at the Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Chapel Center.
WASHINGTON – Senior Navy and Marine Corps chaplains from the National Capital Region, including visiting chaplains from up and down the west coast, recently took part in a three-day professional development training course at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) that focuses on pastoral care and the importance of confidentiality when dealing with service members and their families. The course, which was hosted by the (JBAB) Chapel Center, was also a foray into how chaplains can get better engaged with their base commands and respective communities. Back in 2008, the U.S. Navy announced an official campaign to help educate service members, families and leadership on the importance of confidential communi-
cations with a chaplain. From this “sacred trust” comes many variables, according to Chaplain (Lt. Cmdr.) David Cullen, deputy director of professional development for the Naval Chaplaincy School and Center (NCSC) in Columbia, S.C. As per Navy policy, Cullen said it’s vital that service members and families have the right and privilege to confidential communication. Chaplains also have the obligation and responsibility to protect and guard communications disclosed to them, while commanders must honor and support the relationship between an individual and a chaplain. He noted that chaplains can also not be compelled to share information that is told to them in confidence. “Chaplains offer service members a safe place to talk – one

Hundreds turn out for Hiring Our Heroes regional job fair BY PAUL BELLO JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON – A nationwide initiative that helps veterans, service members and military spouses find meaningful employment returned to Joint Base AnacostiaBolling (JBAB) Nov. 1, as more than 450 registered job seekers swarmed the Bolling Club to participate in the National Capital Region’s Hiring Our Heroes and Military Spouse Employment Partnership Job Fair. The program, which was launched by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce three years ago, has worked with a vast network of state and local chambers, as well as many public and private organizations in communities around the country. Those partnerships have resulted in nearly 600 hiring fairs and have

helped more than 20,000 veterans and spouses find jobs. JBAB Commander Navy Capt. Anthony T. Calandra, who normally shies away from preferential treatment, welcomed guests to the event and joked that he was happy to use his reserved parking space at the Bolling Club. “I’m so glad I have that space because the lot is full. I don’t see any parking anywhere,” Calandra said. “We’ve always been committed to bringing potential opportunities to potential employees. With the quality of employees and great companies here today, I’m sure there will be some job offers made.” Co-sponsored on base by JBAB’s Military Family Support Center, more than 100 employers from the region signed up for the event, which included resume workshops
and tips on how to land a job interview. Perla Romo-Knudstrup, a resident of nearby Fort Washington, Md., is just one success story that has come as a result of the Hiring Our Heroes Job Fair. A Navy spouse, Knudstrup was unemployed and looking for a fulltime job earlier this year when she came across a posting on Facebook for a Hiring Our Heroes event this past summer in Silver Spring, Md. She attended not knowing what to expect – which turned out to be a great decision on her part. “I have a master’s degree in business administration and was looking for some kind of accounting or finance position. I met a recruiter with Jordan Tempchin and Associates and, before long, I was hired

nent of AF excellence. The Air Force Memorial is a treasured monument to Air Force members past and present. Overlooking the Pentagon, Arlington National Cemetery and Washing-
ton, D.C. this Monday, Nov. 11 at 11 a.m. a vocalist and brass quintet will perform the National Anthem and ceremonial music respectively at a Veteran’s Day ceremony. Also on Monday, Nov. 11 at 11
a.m., the Concert Band will serve as the military band for the annual Veteran’s Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. Normally presided over by the president and vice president, this event represents one of the most significant appearances for the band on the yearly calendar. With coverage on major cable outlets, this ceremony offers the opportunity for honor veterans from all services on the international stage. And finally, in its most unique and complex configuration, the Airmen of Note will combine forces with the Air Force Strings and Singing Sergeants for a live television broadcast from Maryland Public Television studio in Owings Mills, Md. “America’s Veterans - A Musical Tribute” will also be broadcast on other public television networks and streamed live over the Internet. Collaborating with our civilian counterparts from the music industry and broadcasting world, we will welcome the conductor of Baltimore’s Soulful Symphony Darin Atwater and local Maryland resident, vocalist Risa Larson. Returning for his second appearance with the band, Washington’s NBC4 newsman Aaron Gilchrist will serve as emcee for the broadcast. Look for the broadcast on MPT, or live streamed over the Internet on Sunday, Nov. 10 at 8 p.m.

landra said Building P-21 has a storied history dating back to the late 1930s.
Along with its counterpart, the current headquarters Building P-20, both were
born out of what became known as Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal – a series of economic development programs throughout that decade. Building P-21 was originally a visitor’s center before being converted into a school. It also served for a short time as Bolling’s official headquarters building, Calandra said. “We’ve gone full-circle in using this building for housing. As a joint base, we need to combine things,” Calandra said. “It was ridiculous to have two separate housing offices. Now people can come here and find out about opportunities at one location.” Calandra added that Bolling is considered one of three birth places of the U.S. Air Force by historians and that he’s happy to see a building like this continue to have a place in the community.

when striving for increased morale and mission readiness. While chaplains are not bound by mandatory reporting requirements, he said chaplains will always assist in guiding an individual to the appropriate resources. “Confidentiality is particularly important when someone feels they have nowhere else to go,” said Chaplain (Cmdr.) Wesley Sloat, command chaplain at JBAB. “Someone could also be worried about command involvement or potential impact on their career. This course deals with all that
and how to properly approach a situation.” The confidential relationship extends to written communications like letters, emails and text messages, Cullen said. This includes beyond the death of someone making a disclosure. The NCSC provides professional development training at fleet locations throughout the Navy and Marine Corps.

WASHINGTON – As one office, it’s now “one-stop shopping” for those looking for housing aboard Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB), according to Ginger Speake, director of the newly revamped Housing Services Center at Building P-21 across from Arnold Gate. Consolidation has made it possible for two previously separate housing offices on base to merge into one location, while still providing all the resources necessary to accommodate families looking for housing. “We initially were hoping to do this in early October to celebrate the third anniversary of JBAB, but it’s better late than never,” Speake said during a ribbon cutting ceremony Nov.

DOD celebrates Native American Heritage Month BY ARMY SGT. 1ST CLASS TYRONE C. MARSHALL JR. AMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE
WASHINGTON - The Defense Department will celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of Native Americans and Alaska natives during November in observance of Native American Heritage Month. November was designated such as month by President George H.W. Bush in 1990. Joe Sarcinella, DOD’s senior advisor and liaison for Native American Affairs, discussed the department’s efforts to recognize Native Americans and their contributions to the country dating back to Revolutionary War. “DOD is really committed to celebrating all sorts of diversity — race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation,” Sarcinella said. “I really feel that they’re leading the charge and November just happens to be that time of the year when we can focus on Native Americans.” In addition to his senior advisor duties, Sarcinella manages the Native American Lands and Environment Mitigation program, which deals with cleanup of DOD activities on tribal lands and other treaty lands. “I’m also the lead trainer,” he said. “I’m in charge of managing American Indian Cultural Communication Course and the Native Hawaiian Cultural Communication Course as well where I go … instruct DOD personnel … as how to consult with indigenous people.” Sarcinella said he also leads outreach for tribal people. “I interface with all of
01039932
the federal departments and agencies on inter-agency collaboration and working with Native American governments.” Native American Heritage Month “is an opportunity for the department to recognize that contribution and the rich cultures that there are,” Sarcinella said. “There are 566 federally recognized tribes throughout the lower 48 [states] and Alaska.” Sarcinella said the theme of this year’s observance is: “Guiding Our Destiny with Heritage and Tradition.” Many people don’t realize that the Indian Wars were fought “all the way through the late 1800s,” he said. “But actually, [some American Indian] tribes were fighting right alongside colonials during the Revolutionary War.” Many people today, he said, are aware of the important contributions made by the Navaho code talkers’ in the Pacific campaign during World War II, and Sarcinella said he believes Native Americans and Alaskan natives now have the highest per capita rate of military service of any ethnic group throughout the U.S. He noted that Native Americans and Alaska natives make up almost 16,000 members of the active force, and that nearly 160,000 others are veterans. “In 2008, President [George W.] Bush posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor to Woodrow Wilson Keeble, who was a Sisseton Wahpeton tribal member from Lake Traverse Sioux, and that was for his valor during the Korean War,” Sarcinella said. In addition, there are about 6,000 Native American DOD civilian employees.
Native Americans may constitute “a small part of the population, but we contribute a lot,” Sarcinella said. The Defense Department also wants to increase those numbers through outreach. “The Office of Diversity Management and Equal Opportunity — they do a lot of outreach with different professional organizations.” Sarcinella also spoke of DOD’s outreach efforts with the American Indian Sciences and Engineering Society, and SAIGE — the Society of American Indian Government Employees. “University outreach is a big one too,” he said. “Reaching out to different tribal conferences and gatherings, like [the] National Conference of American Indians.” Sarcinella noted that President Barack Obama created the White House Council on Native American Affairs, and DOD submitted its list of goals to increase outreach and partnerships with Native American governments. “It’s a new angle that DOD is taking,” he said. “It’s not so much consulting with tribes but actually considering creating ongoing relationships with them. It’s really an exciting time right now.” Sarcinella said the best thing Native Americans and Alaska natives can do for themselves is “professional development and education.” “Education is a huge priority in Indian Country,” he noted. “With that education, and trying to give yourself newer opportunities and develop those skill sets that you have, there’s a great amount of opportunity at DOD.”

Air Force receives four DOD Best Disability Program awards BY STAFF SGT. DAVID SALANITRI AIR FORCE PUBLIC AFFAIRS AGENCY
WASHINGTON (AFNS) — The Air Force received the Secretary of Defense trophy for the best disability program among large military components and three civilian Airmen were also recognized for their during a recent ceremony at the Pentagon. For the past 33 years, the Office of Diversity Management and Equal Opportunity has organized an awards ceremony to recognize outstanding service members and Department of Defense (DOD) civilian personnel with disabilities. The program recognizes recipients for outstanding achievement in the hiring, retention and advancement of individuals with disabilities. This was the second year in the row the Air Force won the award; the Navy finished second. “Your support of our employees with disabilities and our wounded, ill and injured soldiers is critical to inclusion and full participation and equal opportunity,” said Lt. Gen. Michael Linnington, Personnel and Readiness military deputy to the undersecretary of defense. “Thank you for taking those responsibilities seriously.” In addition to the Air Force award, the Office of Diversity Management and Equal Opportunity recognized three civilian Airmen. They could not attend due to sequestration at the time. Dale Jenks, the Instructional Technologies Unit flight chief, is assigned to the 37th Training Support Squadron, at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. He is the expert on interactive multimedia instruction, or IMI, and leads efforts to develop and design IMI to support technical training throughout the Air Force. Despite manning shortages, Jenks’ managerial skills enabled his flight to provide total quality service to customers in
all facets of training, according to his nomination package. In 2012, he led the ITU to a “no findings” performance, receiving five “strengths” from the Air Education and Training Command compliance inspection team. Robert Vickers is the 96th Security Forces Squadron resource adviser, at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. Vickers is responsible for tracking all financial actions and obtaining all appropriate resources for the most deployed unit in the Air Force Materiel Command. In 2012, Vickers flawlessly committed 99.96 percent of the 96th SFS operations and management budget, according to his nomination package. Not only was he able to successfully appropriate the funds, but he was the main focal point in nearly doubling the original budget from $620,000 to $1.08 million in operations and management funds. According to his official nomination, Vickers’ commitment to excellence and pursuit of improvement were instrumental as he ensured 96th SFS members had all the required gear needed to successfully protect vital national security assets. He also volunteered more than 150 hours of his off-duty

time to assisting fellow injured service members through the Wounded Warrior Project. John Henry was recognized for his contributions as the 65th Civil Engineer Squadron operations flight deputy commander at Lajes Field, Azores, Portugal. Henry led a diverse workforce composed of 254 American and Portuguese personnel, entrusted with the repair and maintenance of 829 facilities valued at $2.3 billion. His managerial skills led his flight to complete more than 8,000 jobs with a 96 percent on time rating, the second best in U.S. Air Forces in Europe. Additionally, Henry established a recurring maintenance program achieving an impressive 100 percent completion rate, according to his nomination package. Throughout the ceremony, a consistent theme was present — DOD’s commitment to employing disabled civilians and wounded veterans. “As the largest federal employer, many people expect DOD to lead the way in hiring individuals with disabilities, including our nation’s veterans,” Linnington said. “I think that expectation is well-founded ... We are committed to rising to the challenge.”
