Fort Lee Honored As Army Community of Excellence

by Kimberly K. Fritz Family/Community Life Reporter

Each year, installations from around the world compete in the Army Chief of Staff’s Army Communities of Excellence Program that recognizes superior performance in installation management. This year, Fort Lee earned an honorable mention in the competition that encourages and rewards installations that optimize their environment and demonstrate a commitment to facilities and exceptional customer service.

Members of the garrison command group and the Plans, Analysis and Integration Directorate traveled to the Pentagon Tuesday for a ceremony honoring winners in several categories.

“This program is indeed a wonderful opportunity to recognize the great work that is being done in our Army garrisons,” said Katherine Hammack, Assistant Secretary of the Army, Installations, Energy and Environment. “It is an honor to recognize the individuals who have helped make the Army (community) a better

place to live, work and grow.”

Hammack said she is amazed at how the Army has progressed in the last few years.

Fort Lee has seen a great deal of growth, doubling in size and student output and still improving services and continually focusing on military Families.

This is the first time Fort Lee has earned an award in the program. Garrison Commander Col. Rodney D. Edge said it was an honor to win and that he looks forward to future wins where the installation benefits monetarily. The higher the award level, the larger the reward for the installation, thus creating more programs and facilities for Families.

Fort Lee’s award speaks volumes about the installations ability to support mission readiness by providing Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines and Families with state-of-theart facilities, world-class services and the best working and living conditions and overall quality of life that they so richly deserve, said Mike White, PAIO analyst. “We are always striving to do better and improve our community.”

Forty-Niners Host Change of Responsibility Ceremony

by T. Anthony Bell Senior Writer/Special Projects

The installation’s only active duty U.S. Forces Command unit held what was probably its last change of responsibility ceremony last week.

The 49th Quartermaster Group saw the reins of responsibility pass from Command Sgt. Maj. Romeo Montez III to Sgt. Maj. Jay A. Porter April 27 at the Post Field House.

Maj. Gen. James L. Hodge and Command Sgt. Maj. James E. Riddick, respectively the commanding general and command sergeant major, Combined Arms Support Command, were on hand for the event. Brig. Gen. Gwen Bingham and Command Sgt. Maj. James K. Sims, the Quartermaster School commandant and command sergeant major, were in attendance as well. The 49th’s commander, Col. Rodney Fogg, was the presiding officer.

The 49th QM Group headquarters element and other units are scheduled to deactivate later this year.

Porter, a native of Kentucky, was previously the top enlisted Soldier for the 49th’s 530th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion Provisional. During his remarks, he thanked all who supported him, proclaimed his intentions as a leader and asserted to his new commander that “finishing this journey is just as important as how we started this journey.”

Finishing the journey will hold special significance for Porter and the command team. Elements of 49th QM Group

down the group and do it with honor and with the unit’s traditions and legacy in mind is the bigger piece.”

The man Porter replaces, Montez, has served as command sergeant major in the unit’s deactivated 240th QM Bn. and took his position at the group level in the spring of last year. Fogg said during his remarks that Montez was everything a noncommissioned officer should be – tough, fair, caring, humble and willing to learn. He was reminded of those qualities during an event earlier in the day.

“This morning after the group run, all of the Soldiers stacked up to shake his hand, give him a hug and say ‘thank you,’” he said. “He has more former Soldiers who drop by to tell him ‘thank you’ than anyone I have ever known.

“They come by to see him to say, ‘Thanks.’ Thanks for being tough. Thanks for showing them the way; for being a great example… This is the essence of leadership, of the PHOTO BY T.

Memorial Chapel Addition Grows Family Life Footprint

by Kimberly K. Fritz Family/Community Life Reporter

The Fort Lee Family Life Center, housed in Memorial Chapel, is getting a bigger space to fill its needs.

The $784,000 addition to the center is under construction now and is projected to be completed (weather permitting) before the end of the year. The construction is not affecting any of the services offered at Memorial Chapel.

The chapel annex will create additional rooms that will be used for educational classes, meetings and other purposes, said Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Robert Nay, the deputy installation chaplain.

The addition has been in the works for years, said Donna Calandra, Memorial Chapel building and program coordinator.

“It was the vision of Maj. Gen. James E. Chambers to put all the Family activities together at Fort Lee,” she said.

Calandra said Chambers, who was a previous commanding general of the Combined Arms Support Command and Fort Lee, had a vision for the area that is now the Child, Youth and School Services campus and Memorial Chapel. All are in close proximity to Family Housing. The Family Life Center is used for a plethora of activities including personal and professional counseling and de-

velopment.

The center and its programs are open to all DoD personnel, Nay said.

“Any one in need is welcome here,” he said.

Calandra likened the center to an all-purpose center on the installation.

It is home to Wednesday night “Dinner and Discipleship,” a pre-school story hour, a place for Prince George students who live in the Villages at Fort Lee to receive tutoring and much more.

“This is a community house,” said Nay. “Military members and their Families can find sanctuary for rest. It is a place to get closer to God and their neighbors. This is a place to better themselves, rejuvenate themselves. The end result is to have a more resilient military member and Family members.”

Nay said chapels aren’t just for Sunday services or when there is trouble in your life.

“A chapel is a place for good times and celebration, renewal, reflection and growth,” he said. “Whatever season of life you are in, the chapel is a community place where we can encourage and comfort one another.”

Likening the Family Life Center to painter Robert Cole’s “The Voyage of Life,” Nay said the chapel is a place for all the phases of life – childhood, youth, manhood and old age and the annex will provide more space to gather and encourage one another through our lives.

The first Family Readiness Group meeting at Kenner Army Health Clinic is set for May 17, 5 p.m., in the facility’s first floor break room. All members of the KAHC community are invited.

Those who plan to attend and would be interested in on-site child care and those who need more information may call Capt. Marie Daniell at (804) 332-8086.

Survivor Day The Fort Lee community is invited to join public safety partners from across the Central Virginia region in Survivor Day on May 5. This event is an opportunity for residents to learn how to live safely through natural disasters and other emergencies. Each family will receive one free Survivor Starter Kit. Classes will be provided in Hopewell, Colonial Heights, Petersburg and the counties of Chesterfield, Henrico, Richmond, Hanover, Charles City, New Kent, Powhatan, Goochland and Louisa.

Pre-registration online or by phone is required because seating is limited.

Check in for the event begins at 8 a.m., and class will be 9 a.m. - noon.

To find exact locations of classes and register, visit www.survivorday.com or call 211.

Vehicle Repairs Vehicle repairs and oil changes should not be performed in post housing areas, according to Section 8.4 of the Fort Lee Resident Handbook.

To work on a privately owned vehicle, residents are to use the Fort Lee Auto Craft Shop because it provides a safer environment and the proper tools and equipments to make repair jobs easier, accord-

ing to the Installation Safety Office.

The Auto Craft Shop is on Battle Drive in building 9035 behind the Holiday Helper warehouse. Hours are Wednesday-Friday, noon - 8 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.

For details, call (804) 734-6859.

Manager Meetings The Main Exchange at Fort Lee is hosting a Meet the Manager event on May 11. Authorized customers will have an opportunity to share their comments and suggestions with the main store, sales and merchandise, and human resources managers from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The Food Court and Express Store managers will be available 1-2:30 p.m.

Iraq War Tribute The National Memorial Day Parade will include the first special public tribute in Washington, D.C., to the Iraq War generation. All Iraq veterans and active duty military are encouraged to participate to honor the sacrifices of their fallen comrades.

The parade will be May 28, 2 p.m., on Constitution Avenue. It will be televised nationwide. The parade was founded and is organized by American Veterans Center, a non-profit organization, and is presented by Boeing.

For details, visit www. nationalmemorialdayparade.com.

Veterans and Families of the fallen can call (703) 302-1012, ext. 227.

KAHC ‘No Shows’ Kenner Army Health Clinic is asking patients to help reduce its “no show” rate. Patients to fail who show up or call to cancel appointments negatively affect the productivity of the health care provider teams, waste time and money and take an appointment away from someone who may need it, said KAHC officials.

A scheduled appointment can be canceled by calling 1-866-533-5242 at any time. Clients are asked to cancel appointments at least 24 hours in advance or as soon as they know they will not be able to keep an appointment.

In addition to taking care of students, the company also has the responsibility of administrative support for the permanent party instructors and battalion staff.

Petersburg Gathering Perfect for Gear-heads If you refer to indigestion as “gunk in your carburetor” and find the smell of gasoline a bit alluring, there’s an event in Old Towne Petersburg you need to check out.

Thursday Night Thunder is a classic car and motorcycle show that continues weekly, 6-9 p.m., through October. The location is the corner of North Sycamore and East Bank streets in Old Towne. The show is free to the public and participants.

All makes and models of vehicles are welcome. This is a great opportunity for “gearheads” to show off and marvel over those classic or juiced-up

cars, pickups and motorcycles that require many hours of tuning, tinkering and tender-loving care.

No registration is required for Thursday Night Thunder.

Anyone who wants to showcase a vehicle can just find one of the reserved spots (starting at 5:30 p.m.) near the intersection of Sycamore and Bank streets.

Arrivals will continue through the evening until the parking lots are full. The parking area is vast but limited, so arrive early to get a prime space to show off your ride.

The Thursday Night Thunder event site is also located in the

midst of Petersburg’s vibrant downtown shopping and dining district.

Participants have a green light for checking out the many shops, restaurants, art galleries and historic architecture found in Old Towne.

Enjoy live music at many venues including the Thursday Concerts at the Old Towne Civic Center, which also occur weekly, 7 p.m. to midnight, through Sept. 6. Admission to that event is $10, with a $2 discount for military ID card holders. To see the list of featured bands, visit

Army Launches New Site for Civilian Development

by Julia Bobick Office of the Army G-3/5/7

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; To improve access to information and increase participation in Army Civilian training and leader development opportunities, the Army G-3/5/7 Training Directorateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Civilian Training and Leader Development Division launched a one-stop website consolidating information about career program occupational and functional training, competitive professional development and leader development opportunities, as well as application procedures and course registration links.

The site at www.civiliantraining.army.mil serves as an integrated resource for civilian employees, supervisors and Army leaders interested in learning more about the training and opportunities available to the Army Civilian corps. Since several Army organizations administer the various leader development courses, developmental assignments and training, Army civilians and supervisors have in the past had to visit several different sites to find out about mandatory training and professional development opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to provide civilians and supervisors a

FAITH AND HOPE TEMPLE CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST

comprehensive site to help them more easily navigate the myriad opportunities in Army civilian training and leader development,â&#x20AC;? said Vicki Brown, chief of the Civilian Training and Leader Development Division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our goal to ensure all civilians know about the available training, often at little or no cost to their units, and take advantage of the training that fits into their individual career goals and supports their organization outcomes.â&#x20AC;?

The updated website includes course descriptions, prerequisites and registration links forArmy Civilian Education System, or CES, courses, Supervisor Development Course requirements, Competitive Professional Development and Academic Degree Training, advanced opportunities like Senior Service College, Army Congressional Fellowship Program and the Defense Senior Leadership Development Program, as well as career management tools like Army Career Tracker.

The Civilian Training and Leader Development Catalog (when fully deployed on the site) will be the official resource for information on centrally managed civilian training, professional and leader development training opportunities, replacing the information currently found in the Army Civilian Training, Education and Development System catalog. <RX DUH LQYLWHG WR

PETERSBURG & HOPEWELL

Under the provisions of 40 CFR 300.415(b)(2)(vi), the United States Army is establishing land use controls (LUCs) at installations within the Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP) to protect human health from potential hazards at Munitions Response Sites (MRS). These LUCs are interim or non â&#x20AC;&#x201C;time critical removal actions (NTCRA) implemented at MMRP sites until such time as these sites have been investigated and/or remediated. Fort Lee has one MRS, the former 1000â&#x20AC;? 0.50-Caliber Machine Gun Range, which is eligible for LUCs as an interim action while the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) process continues. A second site, a former Rocket Range, is currently being inspected and may be eligible for these interim actions at a later date. Before a LUC can be finalized and implemented an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA) must be completed and presented to the public for review and comment. The EE/CA for the Fort Lee will be available for review from May 7, 2012 to June 6, 2012 at the Appomattox Regional Library [Hopewell Library â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 209 East Cawson Street, Hopewell, VA 23860, (804) 458-6329] and on-post at the Fort Lee Community Library, Army Logistics University, Building 12420, 2nd Floor, 34th Street, Fort Lee, VA 23801, (804) 765-8095]. Comments regarding the EE/CA should be submitted in writing to the attention of Hank Hennigar, Fort Lee IRP Program Manager, US Army Combined Arms Support & Fort Lee (IMNE-LEE-PWE), 1816 Shop Road, Fort Lee, VA 23801-1604, Phone: (804) 734-5068, e-mail: usarmy.lee.imcom.mbx.leee-mmrp@mail.mil.
