DFMWR Team members Highlight Fort Buchanan Has Talent! We would like to thank those employees whose efforts led to a make-over of the Fort Buchanan Golf Club Pro-Shop. Michael Ortíz & Victor Martínez from the Golf Club along with Mr. Luis Andino, on loan from Child and Youth Services, were instrumental in replacing the old, outdated and worn out carpet with a new laminate wood floor. Manuel Martínez from the Golf Club, then followed up with a new paint job. The overall result was an end product second to none. Further, the cost was a fraction of what would have been paid had the project been contracted. Many thanks to these gentlemen for their efforts and the pride they showed throughout the completion of the project. By: Jerry Hesby, Business Operations Division Chief
Accreditation Achieved! CYSS would like to announce that the School Age Center has achieved their accreditation! Thanks to all the School Age Center staff for supporting our Soldiers and their Families and for ensuring consistency on what they do to maintain quality in our programs. My congratulations for a work well done. Input from children, parents, families and staff were considered during the process of improvement. Hurray! Such good news for one of the Army’s finest and most professional school age programs.

What’s Hot in our Programs? DFMWR Recycles The Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (DFMWR) is joining forces with the Directorate of Public Works (DPW) in their recycling efforts. During the month of April, DFMWR facilities will receive blue recycling bins and will be recycling paper, card board, plastic and aluminum. The campaign will create awareness of the program amongst DFMWR employees and will explain the benefits of recycling. Family and MWR is exercising leadership initiatives in the reduction of Solid waste that are typically incinerated or sent to a landfill. DFMWR’s goal is to have all their facilities in compliance by April 30th, 2012. Recycling can be beneficial to the environment, save precious energy, and conserve resources.

Keeping the promise...
Army Family Covenant
“It’s No Secret… Everyone Can Help. Keep Army Children Safe and Healthy.”
APRIL: CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH Child abuse is a social problem, and finding solutions depends on involvement among people throughout the community. We must dedicate ourselves to preventing these tragedies. We must commit ourselves to protect our children, and keep them safe. The effects of child abuse are felt by whole communities, and need to be addressed by the all. Effective child abuse prevention programs succeed because of partnerships created among social service agencies, schools, religious and civic organizations, law enforcement agencies, and the business community. Everyone should become more aware of the negative effects of child abuse and its prevention within the community, and become involved in supporting parents to raise their children in a safe and nurturing environment. For this reason, the Family Advocacy Program (FAP) provides different Family well-being events, classes, and workshops throughout the year. Please contact FAP for schedule of classes and events at 787-707-3709/3698. We encourage all to protect our children by recognizing, SFTQPOEJOH and reporting ALL child abuse and neglect!

Child Abuse Prevention Month Garrison Commander’s Proclamation
THE BLUE RIBBON STORY During the month of April the Family Advocacy Program is distributing the blue ribbon pin as a symbol for child abuse/neglect prevention. The story behind this symbol is as follows: In spring of 1989, a Virginia grandmother began the blue ribbon campaign as a tribute to her grandson. The three-year-old died at the hands of his mother’s abusive boyfriend. Since that time, concerned citizens all over the Country have worn the blue ribbon as a symbol of the need to prevent child abuse and neglect. By: Ms. Wilda Díaz, Family Advocacy Program Manager
The Army Family Advocacy Program (FAP) preventive education initiatives provide Soldiers, DA Civilians, and Family members information about child abuse and its harmful effects on Army Families and the Army mission. FAP is an essential resource at Fort Buchanan engaging in long standing prevention efforts positively affecting the Army and civilian community. The theme for Army Child Abuse Prevention Month is “It’s No Secret… Everyone Can Help. Keep Army Children Safe and Healthy.” As commander of this Garrison it is my goal to ensure that happens. April is also designated as the Month of the Military Child and what better way to honor children in military Families than to keep them safe and provide for their health and well being. In 2012, after more than 10 years with increased OPTEMPO and multiple deployments, child abuse is not the greatest problem facing the Army and its Families. However, the Army rates while lower than in the civilian community did go up on 2010 after two years (2008 and 2009) of lower rates. If in the Army, the numbers are lower, we are still dedicated to prevention.
The truth of child abuse remains the same. It happens. It has a profound effect on the child victims. It takes place in a Family context where other problems exist that degrade Family functioning. And the statistics do not tell us the whole story. Some child abuse and neglect remains unseen and unreported -- with consequences that grow and spread, affecting the community, and in our case, the Army mission. Child abuse is no secret. We still need to build and maintain awareness. When homes and communities take care of their children, the whole community becomes a healthier place. FAP’s successful prevention campaign asks that everyone: • “Recognize” signs of distress that can lead to abuse and take action • “Rethink” wellness and ways to stay healthy • “Reach Out” for professional help, and • “Report” child abuse and neglect And everyone needs to know the safety and health of Army children rests in all of our hands. 1

Resilience and Special Needs Battling the Mind Bugs
By Elizabeth Newell
Most everyone has dealt with a buggy software program one that seems to work perfectly until a little glitch throws things out of whack. And it’s likely you’ve had workdays that played out that way, says business adviser and author Larry J. Bloom, adding managers must battle the bugs in their minds that trigger mistakes and poor choices. In his book The Cure for Corporate Stupidity: Avoid the Mind Bugs That Cause Smart People to Make Bad Decisions, Bloom says humans develop poor thinking habits based on innate survival instincts. This is especially true in the workplace, where managers face stress factors such as a shortage of time to complete projects, unclear objectives, and resistance to new ideas. People are susceptible to errors in judgment based on distorted perceptions of reality. Even when they know their intuitions can be wrong, he says, folks often are reluctant to abandon their judgments. Managers in particular are likely to identify specific results they want to reach and attach strong feelings to them. Overconfidence and a sense of infallibility, which are common among leaders who have ascended the ranks quickly, serve as a “breeding ground for the mind bug,” Bloom says. These are not character flaws, he notes, so much as a re-

flection that success tends to be based on the appearance of being informed rather than actual information. Bloom points to common mind bugs, including: • The assumption error-basing decisions on notions you believe are true without challenging them. • Data rejection a reflexive dismissal of new facts because they contradict norms. • Experience bias the belief that future events will occur in a specific way based on prior outcomes, even though conditions might differ. These skewed thought processes lead work teams to spend far more time fixing decisions that go wrong than ensuring they go right in the first place. Even then they are dealing with symptoms rather than the real problem. But there are specific steps managers can take to avoid bad decisions that can plague large organizations such as government agencies. Like in any pest control effort, the first step is to identify the nuisance and how it’s affecting your environment. Conduct a mental virus scan. Ask yourself which of the mind bugs you are most vulnerable to personally and which your employees are most susceptible to as a group. Bloom suggests scanning for mind bugs in four areas: • Sufficiency (Do you have the correct inputs?) • Accuracy (Are the inputs truthful?) • Beliefs (How do you color your decision process?) • Social (What is the influence of others?) Working through these categories systematically can help you identify pockets of vulnerability. Next, you should work through the possible consequences of this glitchy thinking and the ways you can overcome personal mind bugs and marshal your team to combat collective bugs. After going through this process individually, it can be helpful to host a group discussion about the issues and how you would like to address them going forward. In a non-confrontational setting, where the focus is on collective mind bugs rather than any one individual’s shortcomings, employees are more likely to have a productive discussion of how they can hold each other accountable and challenge conventional thinking. That way decisions are more likely to be based on facts, trends and information rather than bias.

Volunteering is a defining part of the American experience. From the Minutemen at Lexington to today’s all volunteer force, the Army relies on the fundamental connection between volunteerism and citizenship. The strength of the Army lies in its Soldiers, and the strength of Army communities lies in the talents and contributions of its members. Volunteerism stabilizes our Army communities by contributing to community cohesion, increasing self-reliance, and enhancing the well-being of our Soldiers, their Families and Civilians. The twenty-first century brings new challenges for our Nation and the military. The Army is undergoing monumental transformation to increase the force’s relevance and readiness to face the uncertainties of today’s global challenges, enabling it to pursue ways of war that are increasingly rapid, simultaneous, and non-contiguous. So too must the Army transform its volunteer programs to remain relevant to an Army increasingly deployed and capable of meeting emerging needs. This new reality drives the need to transform volunteerism within our Army communities. Organizations utilizing volunteers in our Army communities have found themselves challenged to fill volunteer positions. Changes in the Army community such as the increasing number of dual income families, rapid pace of today’s life, and increasingly deployed force, have decreased the traditional pool of volunteers. Today people seek new ways to volunteer, often looking for shortterm commitments or volunteer op-

portunities with their Families, from their homes, and during evenings and weekends. The Army and the organizations that utilize volunteers must seek new ways to engage people to continue to harness the power of people who believe that one person can make a difference.

The AVC is an umbrella that encompasses all volunteers and organizations using volunteers ensuring that the programs are relevant and volunteers are ready to meet the challenges facing Soldiers and their families.

April is Month of the Military Child
Month of the Military Child: A time to thank our Heroes’ heroes Editorial by William Bradner Installation Management Command
It’s the pre-school child who—without being asked—passes his dessert to his little sister, simply because she looks sad. It’s the second-grader who bravely puts a picture of her father at the head of the table for her birthday party, and the fifthgrade siblings who donates all their earnings from their lemonade stand to the USO that both their parents passed through on the way to Iraq. It’s the junior high band member who asks if the spring concert can be dedicated to our deployed service members, and it’s the high school cheerleader who organizes a “care package” drive. It’s the college graduate who clings just a little longer to her father, wishing that her mother was at the commencement ceremony instead of in Afghanistan. These are our military children; our Nation’s heroes. With so much media attention focused on the Soldiers returning from war and the sacrifices they’ve made for our freedom, we don’t want to overlook the youth who quietly support them in the background. Approximately two million children have experienced the deployment of one or both of their parents in the last ten years. They brave their own battlefields. They rely on an inner strength to face each day. They swallow their 4
fears and disappointment because they know that their Soldier-parent is doing something important. They inspire us with their resiliency. It’s hard for the average American to fathom how well our children cope. How those who are old enough to understand dread an unexpected knock on the door. How much joy they feel when their uniformed parent steps off the airplane in a sea of red, white and blue. Like the Soldier on the battlefield who pushes forward because he has to, they push forward, counting the days and hours until the end of the deployment. Our military children are heroes. Let’s not let them be unsung heroes. Military installations around the world have celebrated the Month of the Military Child each April since 1986. Communities will host fairs, youth centers will sponsor special events, and garrisons around the world will take a little time this month to honor military kids, and thank them for their service. It’s a relatively common sight today to see a stranger say “thanks for your service” to a service member in uniform. This month, take it a step further… take a moment to thank the child holding his or her hand. Their heroism deserves our gratitude.
MOMC is special month dedicated to honoring and acknowledging our courageous and resilient military children. It has been estimated that more than one million of America’s children have at least one parent currently serving in the military. First introduced in 1986 by former Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger, MOMC is celebrated around the world through special events, activities, and programs. Fort Buchanan’s CYS Services will be hosting the Kick-off Event April 3rd, 3:30 pm -5:30 pm at Bldg. 1000. CYSS will also host an Easter Egg Hunt, Deployed Student Days, and a special event at the Exchange Food Court as part of the celebration. For more details please call 787-707-3569.

Earth Day was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson on April, twenty-two 1970. He was worried about the growing environmental crisis and attempted to make it a known and discussed issue. Beginning as an environmental teach-in in Philadelphia on April sixteen lasting until April twenty-two, with no official governing body, it grew at the grassroots level to a global day of environmental awareness. At the 1st Earth Day in Fairmont Park, Philadelphia visitors included ; Senator Edmund Muskie ( author of the Clean Air Act, 1970 ), Ralph Nader, Ian McHarg Landscape designer, George Wald a Nobel prize-winning Harvard Biochemist, Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott and poet Allen Ginsberg. Since that point, regular folks like me and you have thrown themselves into expressing the issues of environmentally aware actions including recycling, energy conservation and reducing and / or reusing dispensable items. Today it is a worldwide event that represents the commitment of the United States and other countries to environment security. Active Duty military, civilian personnel, Families and the local community contribute significantly to the impact of this event. Join us as we celebrate Planet Earth. This year’s theme: Net Zero Energy & Water for Resource Conservation, highlights our readiness goals, environmental successes, and our dedication to conducting forward-looking stewardship programs. Army Green is Army Strong!

ENTERTAINMENT Community Club & Conference Center Bowling Center News for April
The Community Club and Conference Center once again participated in the Caribbean Bridal Expo and Marketplace celebrated at the Puerto Rico Convention Center the weekend of February 25th & 26th, 2012.

Golf Cook CIA trained!! No, it’s not “The Company” it’s “The Culinary Institute of America”. Mr. Rafael Ayala, who has been with the Golf Club since 1999 recently attended the “CIA” basic and intermediate culinary arts classes in San Antonio Texas. Mr. Ayala joined other MWR employees from around the world in an immersion program that included various food preparation techniques, food presentation, portion control, pricing and benefits of comparative/smart shopping to control costs. During the period of February 20th through March 2nd 2012, Rafael and the other students studied, prepared and presented breakfast, lunch and dinner menus & items. Meals prepared were then tasted and critiqued by CIA staff and other students. When asked to comment on the value of the training, Rafael stated the cost control/pricing segment was great as it taught all how quickly profits can decrease if recipes are not followed or portions are not controlled. Based on what he learned at the CIA, Rafael will be assisting in revamping the Golf Snack Bar menu and recipes, and also be a key to training existing and new staff in menu techniques. 12
The month of April brings many things to mind: April showers, Spring cleaning, Easter Bunnies and Taxes. It is the month when most people feel a sense of rebirth and renewal. For Christians around the world, Easter Sunday is a day to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. It marks the end of Lent, a forty-day period of fasting, prayer and penance. Join us for our annual Easter Brunch on Sunday April 8th from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm and be sure to bring the kids so that they can participate of the Easter Egg Hunt!
Golf Course Complex WPRGA Tournament Despite a gloomy start, the smiles of the ladies of the Women’s Puerto Rico Golf Association, (WPRGA) quickly brightened the skies over Fort Buchanan Tuesday, February 28th 2012. Thirty-eight ladies from the association participated in a two person Ringer tournament throughout the day, with the team of Nildita Medina & Rebekah Alfond finishing in first place. This event marks the return of the WPRGA to Fort Buchanan. Ladies participating were impressed with course conditions and services provided. At the conclusion of the event the ladies were briefed on the new DFMWR Card program and membership promo-
tion. Based on their impressions of the course, several of the ladies opted to apply for the DFMWR card while here. The management and staff congratulates participants and winners on their play and hopes to see frequent visits by all the ladies of the WPRGA. For more information call 787-707-3980.

MWR Offerings
The Army will survey members of its communities worldwide as part of an effort to improve morale, welfare and recreation programs. The survey, conducted by the Marketing Research and Analysis Branch of the Family and MWR Programs directorate, U.S. Army Installation Management Command, seeks to identify what customers are interested in, whether they are using available services and if so, how satisfied they are with the programming their garrison has to offer. The marketing branch will distribute the survey to randomly selected participants at 75 garrisons. “The survey is going to give us the information we need to make sound business decisions based on customer interest,” said Joseph Rayzor, marketing chief for Family and MWR Programs. Those selected to participate in the Army MWR Services Survey will be contacted by email. Follow-up messages will be sent by postal mail. Survey answers can be submitted online or through traditional means. The survey will remain open through mid April. Results will be analyzed and compiled into a report by summer 2012.
