Family Members Launch Playground Project

by Amy Perry Production/News Assistant Editor

Fort Lee Family members shared their ideas for a dream playground during an Aug. 9 gathering here. Participating children drew their favorite play equipment in the colors of their choice while parents worked on the logistics of building a playground with kid-friendly materials.

With help from KaBOOM! – a national non-profit group that builds and refurbishes playgrounds across the nation – and the Dr Pepper/Snapple Group, the Fort Lee Commonwealth Communities has begun the early stages of conceptualizing a dream playground that will be built in the Monroe Manor housing area.

The design day was the kick-off for the eight-week project that will culminate in a new play area to be built on Oct. 6.

“We did a site walk for the build,” said Allie Farrington, KaBOOM! project manager. “The youth portion is where kids draw what they want on their dream playground. Another portion of the design day brings the adults from the community together to organize committees for food, logistics, youth activities, etc. They will plan everything up until the actual build day.”

The playground will be built in about six hours with more than 250 volunteers – mostly Fort Lee residents – and will be based on the children’s designs and color scheme, said Farrington.

“It’s good for the kids to be involved so they can be part of a big project, as well as see their parents and friends participate because they want to do something good in the community,” she said.

The Dr Pepper/Snapple Group is funding this build as part of a $15 million, three-year plan to build and refurbish 2,000 playgrounds with KaBOOM. “Partnering with KABOOM is just one of the things we do,” said Kevin Rodden, a Dr Pepper/Snapple Group national account executive. “It’s a corporate culture of ours. What we are supposed to do as employees is give back to the community in some fashion.”

Rodden, who is on the military sales team, said his counterpart in the organization helped to build a playground at Camp Pendleton, Calif., last year and he is anxious to complete a similar project on the East Coast. Since he regularly works with the Defense Commissary Agency headquarters, also located on Fort Lee, this location was the first that came to mind.

Jaleel Dowd, a Fort Lee Family member, works hard on designing a dream playground during an Aug. 9 Design Day. “We are excited to do this project on Fort Lee,” he said. “I’d be excited no matter which military base it was on because the military Family is the most important family we have. I’ve been doing my job for eight years – and working with DeCA – and there’s no better family that this project can service.”

Several Families were available at the design day and they said they enjoyed sharing ideas for the new playground.

“We wanted to be able to help out with a good project,” said Sharon Dowd, a mother at the event. “We’re excited about the park. I know my son will have a lot of fun helping to build the play area.”

Wounded Vet Shares Story During Post Visit

by Patrick Buffett Managing Editor

Wounded warrior Marissa Strock paid a visit to Charlie Company, 832nd Ordnance Battalion here Monday evening.

The 27-year-old veteran shared her story with roughly 200 advanced individual training Soldiers at an outdoor gathering on the company’s physical training quad. Most of the participating troops are currently attending the Army’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal Course.

“I’m not a professional speaker, and I’m never sure what I should say when I’m asked to talk to groups like this,” said Strock as she introduced herself. “I suppose I could talk about my short military career, which started at Fort Jackson (S.C.). Man, what I wouldn’t give to run up to that water tower again … if any of you went to basic there, you know what I’m talking about.

“After that, I attended AIT and became a military cop.

The first unit I was assigned to (the 170th Military Police Company, Fort Lewis, Wash.,) was already deployed

when I got there, and they were short on personnel, so they threw a bunch of equipment at me, gave me some quick training and put me on a plane to Iraq.”

Like many Soldiers deploying directly after initial entry training, Strock was barely out of her teens. She described herself as the “girl who hung out with the weird-colored hair and piercings crowd” in high school and admitted that her introduction to the war-fighting environment was “a huge wake-up call.”

“I learned to shut up and listen,” she told the Charlie Company Soldiers in her pull-no-punches style. “I know you learned a lot in basic and they’re showing you how to do a job here, but they can’t teach you everything. Use your head and listen to whatever advice the experienced Soldiers – the NCOs – are giving you. That’s the stuff that kicks in when it gets bad.”

And it did “get bad” for Strock while she served as a gunner during reconnaissance missions. She witnessed eight attacks with explosive weapons and described an incident in which her team assisted badly burned Soldiers after an ambush on a fuel convoy. On Thanksgiving Day

in 2005, while patrolling the southern Baghdad area known as the “Triangle of Death,” her Humvee was hit by a command-detonated IED. It was a violent blast that instantly killed both the team leader, Staff Sgt. Steven Reynolds, and the driver, Spc. Marc A. Delgado.

Strock was thrown backward by the explosion and knocked unconscious. In addition to serious leg wounds, she had traumatic brain injury and a broken wrist, collarbone and arm. Cranial swelling left her in a coma for nearly a month. Few expected her to survive. She subsequently had both legs amputated below the knee, but she fought back and soon found herself on the road to recovery.

“I’m not the type who gives up on anything if I want it bad enough,” Strock told the Charlie Company Soldiers.

“At that time, I would have gone right back to work as a military policeman if the Army approved it. But it didn’t work out and I had to forget the idea of continuing my military service. That’s my one regret; not fighting even SEE LEE VISIT, PAGE 5

Lee NCO Mentors Children of the Fallen

Despite serving his country as a member of the Quartermaster Corps for more than 15 years, Master Sergeant Justin Broadwater felt he was getting more from his service than he was giving.

New Installation Chaplain Takes Reins, Pulpit

by Kimberly K. Fritz Family/Community Life Reporter

Team Lee welcomed a new Combined Arms Support Command and U.S. Army Garrison, Fort Lee chaplain last month, when Chaplain (Col.) Chet Egert and his wife of 31 years, Rhoda, arrived here for their final Army assignment.

“I am happy to be here supporting the command and Maj. Gen. Larry D. Wyche,” Egert said. “I want to give him and the community the best support I can,” Egert said.

He said he knows commanders have lots of needs in their efforts to support Soldiers and their Families.

There are challenges as well.

Egert is ordained by the Assemblies of God and holds degrees from Oral Roberts University and the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary. He is also a graduate of the Army’s Command and General Staff College and the Army War College.

Egert, who has been an Army chaplain for 28 years, just completed a four-year assignment as the XVIII Airborne Corps chaplain at Fort Bragg, N.C. “You can do all kinds of things if you have time and money,” he said. “At my previous assignments at Fort Bragg and Fort Hood, there were more than 100 chaplains. When you have more resources you can do more things. On a post this size, chaplains have only so much time that they can invest in programs outside of counseling.”

Egert said because placing chaplains in U.S. Army Forces Command units takes priority over placing them at U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command units –

The diamond ring you want.

The price you deserve.

WE BUY GOLD AND SILVER!

like the ones here – creating a shortage of both chaplains and extra programs.

“The budget is certainly one of my challenges,” he said. “Getting more funds to support programs like the Strong Bonds program that promotes retreats for Families, single Soldiers and couples would certainly go a long way.”

He said chaplains meet and greet people, check on the unit morale, meet newcomers, ensure they are getting acquainted with the installation and counsel Soldiers when they need it. It makes it difficult to do more than that with the current chaplain staff.

Affectionately describing the work of Army chaplains with Soldiers as “ministering by walking around,” Egert said his goal is to support the chaplains and ensure they can do their duties and minister to their Soldiers.

Defense Has Vital Role in Catastrophe Planning

by Claudette Roulo

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Defense Department makes valuable contributions in U.S. disaster preparedness planning, a senior defense official said Wednesday.

At a panel discussion sponsored by the Heritage Foundation, Paul N. Stockton, assistant secretary of defense for homeland defense and Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s security, addressed the role the Pentagon plays in disaster planning and response.

Thanks to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Stockton said, he got â&#x20AC;&#x153;a big wake-up callâ&#x20AC;? during a 2011 national exercise that simulated the events surrounding a magnitude 7.7 earthquake in the New Madrid Seismic Zone, which touches on the states of Tennessee, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, and Kentucky. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That scenario would have produced destruction on a scale that would differ from Hurricane Katrina in two important dimensions,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First of all, on a quantitative scale, we would have had many, many more casualties over a much wider geographic area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a second dimension that I believe is even more important,â&#x20AC;? he continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A seismic event of that scale would produce a long-term loss of power â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a loss of electric power for weeks to months over a multistate region.â&#x20AC;? Such a power loss would result in the cascading failure of critical infrastructure, he said.

Gas stations would be closed, Stockton said. Water would be in short supply, because electric pumps are needed to draw water from aquifers hundreds of feet underground, and urban wildfires would rage through cities, he added.

The Defense Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenge is how to better position itself to support civil authorities during disaster response activities, Stockton said. Building resilience against cascading failures of critical infrastructure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even when it is owned by the private sector â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is essential to mission assurance, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our responsibility to the Department of Defense is to ensure that we can still execute the core missions of the department that the president assigns to us, even if critical infrastructure goes down,â&#x20AC;? Stockton said.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a question of if a complex catastrophe will strike, he said, but when. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to continue to improve our â&#x20AC;Ś capacity to provide support to civil authorities when the call comes,â&#x20AC;?

Stockton said.

To that end, Stockton pointed to a new complex catastrophe initiative signed by Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta that would enable DOD to bring all of its capabilities, from all components, to bear in support of civil authorities. The initiative will make defense support of civil authorities faster and more effective in delivering life-saving and lifesustaining requirements, Stockton said.

No More Vehicle Decals

New Access Gate Procedures at Lee Take Effect Sept. 1 Department of Defense vehicle stickers or temporary day passes will no longer be required for motor vehicles entering Fort Lee after the Sept. 1 implementation of a revised DoD policy (ALARACT 343/2011). “We are doing away with the need to have stickers on privately owned vehicles,” said Fort Lee Provost Marshal Maj. David Martin.

The change, designed to protect military members, will allow non-DoD visitors to drive to any access point or gate, show a government-issued identification such as a driver’s license and enter the post without stopping at the Lee Gate visitor’s center to get a pass. The visitor center is set to close under the change, which will result in cost savings for the government.

Fort Lee, home of the Combined Arms Support Command and Sustainment Center of Excellence, is ahead of many Army posts in the implementation of the new policy. Some Air Force and Navy bases have already instituted this change, Martin said. He also re-emphasized the primary purpose of protecting personnel who work on military installations.

“Across the board, it is a matter of force protection,” he said. “(A decal) doesn’t always identify a vehicle as belonging to a Department of Defense employee, and just having the sticker can potentially make an individual a target.”

In this post-Sept. 11 era, Defense Department personnel are at an increased risk of being targeted by terrorists.

Martin cited the May 2007 case in which six men were arrested and charged with planning to gain access to Fort Dix, N.J., to kill as many Soldiers as they could. “There should be no question in anyone’s mind that the terrorist threat to military personnel is real,” he added.

Any step to reduce the visibility of military personnel would naturally decrease the possibility of individual service members being targeted by terrorists. Martin also mentioned other measures like mandatory anti-terrorism training each

As of Sept. 1, vehicle decals and visitors passes will no longer be required at any of the Fort Lee access points. year and not requiring military personnel to wear uniforms during official travel, and said that eliminating base decals on vehicles is just another step that will further decrease the risk to service members.

Lead Sgt. Rico Williams with the Police Operations section here noted that the requirement for base decals and temporary access passes has been around for many years – well before 9-11. The possibility of terrorists trying to obtain or counterfeit base decals has always been a threat as well. Furthermore, DoD personnel haven’t always been accountable for the decals they were issued – some were improperly transferred from one car to another or not removed when the car was sold. It wasn’t uncommon to find vehicles with DoD stickers still attached in used car lots.

Thinking along those lines, and the fact that anyone with a sticker or pass is still required to show a valid military identification card and is subject to random inspection, “the decal requirement seems redundant,” Williams said.

“The change in access procedures should also increase awareness and add emphasis to the thorough inspection

of identification documents,” he added. “Requiring police and security personnel to perform checks for a valid driver’s license and a current registration is a more effective way to ensure the accuracy of these documents than checking them only when drivers apply for a decal.”

Martin noted that existing decals don’t have to be removed from vehicles when the new access rules go into effect. All post stickers will be accepted until their expiration.

The PMO emphasized that all vehicles driven onto Fort Lee are still required to be properly licensed, registered and insured according to state and local laws. Those entering the post are subject to a 100 percent identification check and inspection by security personnel.

To address the issue of suspended base driving privileges, Fort Lee will create a database (including pictures) of those whose privileges have been revoked.

AR 385-10 still requires motorcycle riders on military bases to present the certification card that proves they have completed the required safety course.

The projected financial benefit of eliminating base decals service-wide is fairly significant. While it will result in an annual savings of approximately $39,000 per year for Fort Lee, the tally is more than $500,000 Army-wide for printing costs alone, said Williams. The requirement to process applications for decals and temporary passes will be eliminated as well, resulting in reduced costs for personnel. In addition, the time standing in line to renew temporary passes and apply for decals would also be saved.

“Everyone still needs to remain vigilant to the terrorist threat and not let bureaucracy stand in the way of positive change where it’s needed,” said Williams. “Force protection is still a top Army priority.”

Broadwater said he hopes more Fort Lee Soldiers will find time to volunteer for causes like TAPS. “I know how hard it is to find time to get away from work or home, especially in a Training and Doctrine Command environment,” he said.

“However, finding the time to do this could make a big difference in the life of a child.”

Fort Lee Families can learn about TAPS through the Army Community Service Survivor Outreach Support program.

“TAPS is a wonderful program and one that we support,” said Angie Bellamy, an SOS coordinator. “We always give Families we are assisting information about the camps and how to contact TAPS.” Bellamy said TAPS offers camps and mentorships things that SOS does not.

“Their services offer great resources that assist SOS,” she said. “Many of our Families have used TAPS at one point or another. It’s a great resource for support for children and spouses who are dealing with grief and loss of a service member.”

Ultimately, Broadwater said he would like to see more military members from all of the services volunteer to help children who seek comfort from TAPS. “We can learn so much about ourselves just giving to others,” he said. “I feel honored getting the chance to help out.”

Transitioning Lee Soldiers Get CDL Training

by Amy Perry Production/News Assistance Editor

The Transportation School conducted a pilot program here in early August to give Soldiers additional training that will assist them with their transition out of the service.

Recently, focus was brought on veterans who transition out of the military and can’t locate work. So, many organizations within the Army are focusing on credentials that transfer to the civilian job market, and the Trans School believes it has found a way to get its Soldiers prepared for the next step.

“Several military occupational specialties that had the highest unemployment rate were looked at and one of them identified was 88 Mikes (motor transport operator),” said Jeffrey E. Skinner, chief of the Army Drivers Standardization Office.

“The Virginia governor asked how he could help those veterans get their civilian driver’s license to transfer easier. He asked his Department of Motor Vehicles commissioner to work with us to find a solution.”

The only thing that stops a military truck driver from transitioning into the civilian world is a CDL, said Skinner.

“So we had a meeting with the DMV and coordinated a waiver for our 88 Mikes,” said Skinner. “Virginia is now one of 22 states that offer the waiver to allow 88 Mikes to receive their CDL through this program.”

The waiver allows any Soldier with more than two years of documented driving experience on a particular vehicle to test for the CDL. However, the Virginia DMV wanted to do more.

Some Soldiers may have a lot of driving experience, but not enough for the waiver, said Skinner.

So, the Trans Corps is putting effort into a pilot program that gives transitioning Soldiers a condensed course in commercial driving to assist them with earning a commercial driving license. A CDL is mandatory for many jobs in the civilian sector and even includes jobs outside of the trucking industry.

“This program helps our fellow logisticians – our quartermaster or ordnance Soldiers,” said Skinner. “We are assisting Fort Lee with training Soldiers who need to get over that training hump so they can earn a CDL. This is for transitioning Soldiers who are looking for a job in that field or for a job that may require a CDL.” Fort Lee is the first in the state to push this new pilot program. Marine Corps Base Quantico and Fort Pickett are working to get the program started.

Basically, the program gives the Soldiers several weeks of condensed training to prepare for their CDL written and driving tests. Several days are spent learning the rules and regulations for the written portion. Since the program requires some documented driving experience with large vehicles, the Soldiers get more than a week of driver refresher training. They practice parking maneuvers and driving on I-95.

After their training is complete, Andrew Williams, the senior licensing instructor manager of the 508th Transportation Company, 262nd Quartermaster Battalion, 23rd QM Brigade, gives the students a driving exam that is accepted by the VA DMV. Williams is a state-certified third-party CDL tester.

“This course was a great opportunity to add a CDL to my resume,” said Caster. “Before I heard about the course, others suggested to me to get a CDL permit at least for my transition into the civilian sector, and now I’ll have the opportunity to get an license.”

Zero Tolerance in Army for Bullying, Hazing

by David Vergun Army News Service

WASHINGTON – All service members have a personal responsibility to intervene in and stop any occurrences of hazing or bullying, said Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, in a recent statement. “(This behavior) undermines our values, tarnishes our profession and erodes the trust that bonds us,” Dempsey said.

A recent letter signed by Secretary of the Army John M. McHugh, Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Ray Odierno and Sgt. Maj. of the Army Raymond F. Chandler III, underscores the chairman’s position.

“The very foundation of what we do depends on trust, and trust depends on the treatment of all Soldiers with dignity and respect by fellow Soldiers and leaders,” the letter reads. “Without this, our profession is placed in jeopardy, our readiness suffers and our mission success is at risk.”

The Army’s senior leadership said that hazing or bullying has no place in any component of the Army, amongst neither Soldiers nor civilians. It will not be tolerated, they said.

Hazing, a type of bullying that is usually tied to organizational initiation rituals, can be both physical and mental, said Dr. Rene Robichaux, the Army’s social work program manager.

Robichaux said hazing often occurs in “elite” military units, and that much of it is psychological and directed at newcomers. He explained that hazing is often rationalized as necessary for one to become “hardened” or “inoculated” for the rigors of combat. He said there is a gray area between what is considered effective training and what may cross the line into hazing-related bullying.

Robichaux said he became aware first-hand of ritual-

ized hazing during his college fraternity days. He experienced it again in 1967, while going through qualifications on a Navy submarine.

There, he said, there was no gray area.

“I knew it was definitely hazing, and that it was timelimited, and completely tied to the time that it took to become proficient on that submarine.”

The best way to curtail hazing is for unit leaders to get involved and not turn a blind eye to this behavior, said Robichaux.

While hazing often happens in elite military units as a form of initiation, bullying can occur in any unit and even within Soldier Families.

“Bullies were often once bullied themselves as children and some are not even aware that they are bullying,” Robichaux said. “The abusive behavior can be physical, but more often is psychological, talking down to someone, treating them as inferior or inadequate, constantly criticizing and controlling their behavior.”

Both bullying and hazing can result in psychological stress, depression and in some cases, “could result in a longer term response that would fit the diagnostic requirements of post-traumatic stress disorder,” Robichaux said.

Bullies or victims of bullies are often attracted to the military for positive reasons.

“They often have experienced abuse and neglect as children,” Robichaux said. “The negative behavior of their parents may have been unpredictable. Perhaps they came home late after a night of drinking and meted out punishment in unexpected or inappropriate ways.”

The military often can provide the predictability such individuals did not have when they were younger.

“The military structure seen in basic training and [advanced individual training] is appealing because of the predictability and routine, which for the Soldier coming

from a chaotic background, equates to safety, you’re told what to do and when to do it,” he said. “After a year or two, however, they often get into a marital relationship, move off base, get into financial difficulties or have relationship problems, and the bullying/abusive behaviors begin to emerge.”

Bullies can also be found higher up in the ranks.

Although leaders are supposed to look out for the welfare of their Soldiers, they are sometimes the ones who do the bullying.

“I worked in a section once where the department supervisor, a very large and intimidating colonel, would verbally threaten people and get right in their face,” Robichaux said. “In today’s organizational climate, he would have been removed and forced to retire. Fifteen years ago the leadership elected to move his victims to safe locations, while allowing him to continue his abusive behavior until he retired after 30 years of service.”

In cases where supervisors are themselves the bullies, Robichaux advised going up the chain of command to the supervisor’s boss to report the abuse. He said if that person’s supervisor doesn’t act, then the inspector general, or in some cases the equal employment opportunity representative, should be notified.

“Unfortunately, I’ve never known a case of a bully voluntarily seeking help,” he said.

For Soldiers and Family members suffering from abuse there is help available. He said Army social workers are in an excellent position to assist. He said social workers can be found in family advocacy, where they investigate child abuse and domestic violence. Others assist in direct support of wounded warriors or practice in primary care, behavior health, and marriage and family therapy. Other professionals can help as well, including chaplains, counselors and first sergeants.

Ordnance BOLC Students Honor Veterans Class 12-009 of the Ordnance Basic Officer Leader Course recently wrapped up a community service poject with a ceremony at the Sitter and Barfoot Veterans Care Center in Richimond.

The student leaders spent the week at the center enjoying quality time with the veterans of conflicts past. They visited residents in their rooms and put their amazing stories to paper to be remembered forever.

During the concluding ceremony, the student leaders who made lasting individual friendships presented a framed history to the veterans. “The positive feedback from veterans and their loved ones keeps coming in,” said Mandy Fisher, Sitter and Barfoot’s director of Volunteer Activities. “Our residents love spending time with young leaders as much as these officers love spending time with the veterans,” .

It is the Ordnance BOLC man-

ager’s intent to continue to chooseSitter and Barfoot Veterans Care Center as the premier establishment for upcoming lieutenants to visit.

There is a lot that can be learned while spending quality time with our heroes.

“Our veterans have made history, fought for our rights, and paid it forward for all Americans. Hence, it is imperative that their untold stories are captured and showcased,” said Capt.Luke Medvegy.

Medvegy instructs class 12-009 as the trainer adviser counselor. The course is overseen by Maj. Michelle Nhambure as the Ordnance BOLC manager and Lt. Col. Edward W. Gawlik, who is the Basic Officer Leader Division’s course director. The students belong to Charlie Company, 71st Transportation Battalion, commanded by Capt.

Aaron Williams.

Frank Rivero, former chief mortuary affairs noncommissioned officer for JMAC, during his Aug. 1 retirement ceremony here. The sergeant major was being honored for his 32 years of service and his “commitment to bringing home fallen warriors.”

While the presentation was a first for Fort Lee, the national Quilts of Valor Organization has awarded more than 67,000 commemorative quilts to U.S. service members (active and retired) nationwide. The hand-stitched quilts include various patriotic images and the words Courage, Perseverance, Hope, Family and Love.

Make Way for a New Home

by Habitat for Humanity Second lieutenants Hong Phuong Nguyen and Daniel Krus from the Quartermaster Basic Officer Leaders Course, Class 12-006, perform demolition work during a lateJuly Tri-Cities Habitat for Humanity volunteer project in Petersburg. About half of the young Army officers helped the organization with the demolition of a run-down house to clear the site for a new home. Others contributed cleanup work at the Habitat for Humanity’s downtown ReStore facility. Charlene Funderburg, the on-site supervisor, said, “It means so much to me to see the Soldiers come out and support the community. It says a lot about the individuals who serve in the military because a lot of them stationed at Fort Lee aren’t from the area yet they still give back to the community and that means a lot.”
