Ceremonial Ghostman haunts JBAB

By Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs

Most people know the rich history of Bolling Air Force Base, but little is known about the northern end of the installation and even less is known about the origin of Enterprise Hall.

Ask around and you’ll hear various stories about what was in building 72 before it became a dormitory. Some say it was simply an office building. Some claim it was

built on a civil war battlefield.

While others insist it was a hospital. What they all agree on is that it’s haunted.

“I just learned a couple of days ago that this used to be a hospital,” said an Enterprise Hall housekeeper who wished to remain anonymous. “Knowing that now, it explains a lot of the mysterious happenings around here — especially the ones that happen late at night.”

Apparently, stories about knocking on doors, disappearing shadow figures and

moaning sounds are not uncommon around Enterprise Hall. Everyone seems to have another piece to a puzzle.

However, the most terrifying story came from a member of the Ceremonial Guard, Seaman Jessie Kidding.

“So, I don’t know if this is true or not, but this is what I’ve heard,” said Kidding. “The story goes, that many years ago, there was a death in one of the barracks rooms. I don’t know how or when the guy died, but he did, and his spirit never left.”

Kidding then proceeded to recount the story his squad leader told him while he was in training.

“He told me that one day his roommate woke up screaming so he went and banged on his door. He said he banged and banged, and when his roommate finally answered — he looked pale and petrified.”

Kidding’s squad leaders said his roommate had been awakened in the early hours of the morning by a soft, moaning noise. When

he opened his eyes, he saw a shadowy, ghostly outline of a man. He couldn’t describe the figure with much detail because the room was dark and the figure was almost translucent. The young Sailor tried to run, but he was paralyzed. He tried to scream, but nothing came out.

“Unable to move or scream, he laid in bed frozen with fear,” said Kidding. “The shadowy figure came closer and closer.

Finally, the roommate felt the paralysis lift and he was able to move and scream — that’s

when he heard his roommate banging.”

Legend has it that the figure is seen regularly around Enterprise Hall. The details are usually the same. It’s always late at night or early in the morning, and the figure is an ethereal, male form that causes anyone around him to be instantly paralyzed.

“He’s known as the Ceremonial Ghostman,” said Kidding.

“He doesn’t make a sound and he hasn’t harmed anyone . yet.”

Happy Halloween!

NDW ‘Makes A Difference’ in local community Story and Photos By Michelle L. Gordon Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs

Nearly 200 service members and families representing each branch of the military volunteered at Naval District Washington (NDW)’s “Make A Difference Day” project held Oct. 24.

“Make A Difference Day” is the nation’s largest day of community service. Currently in its 24th year, “Make A Difference Day” is a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors. Each year NDW chooses a project for all installations within the region to work together and make a difference in the local community. This year the NDW project was Woodlawn Cemetery.

Nestled in the heart of Washington, D.C.’s Ward 7, Woodlawn Cemetery is a historic and sacred ground with a rich history and approximately 36,000 grave sites — all of

which have gone into disrepair.

“There are 23 acres here and about 15 of them are forested,” said Coast Guard Lt. Cdr. Jonathan Schafler, community affairs officer for Coast Guard Headquarters. “The graves are hidden inside the forest, the fencing is poor, and the tombstones are in piles. We want to restore this cemetery so eventually it can be a place of respect and honor for those buried here.”

Cemetery administrative assistant, Jan Fontaine, said Woodlawn is staffed by volunteers so the extra assistance from “Make A Difference Day” was greatly appreciated.

“The military got involved in the last couple of years and they have responded full force,” she said.

“I’ve never seen this many people out here.”

Petty Officer 3rd Class Nathan Lewis, from Naval Support Facility Dahlgren, Dahlgren, Virginia, said he enjoys volunteering and doing his part to honor the individuals buried at Woodlawn Cemetery.

Tombstones at Woodlawn Cemetery date back to 1859. Over the years, as tombstones would fall they would be piled to make the grass easier to cut. Volunteers are working to place each tombstone at its original location.

“It gives me a sense of accomplishment, but I mostly enjoy the opportunity to give back to the community,” he said. “If I had family members buried here knowing people were taking time out of their day to clean up the grave sites would certainly give me a good feeling.”

Established in 1895 as one of the District’s first African American cemeteries, Woodlawn Cemetery is the burial site of the first African American

JBAB’s about to feel the heat

By Story by Scott Pauley Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs

As the coldness of fall signals Jack Frost’s impending arrival, you may be wondering why your office hasn’t turned the thermostat up yet. You might even be remembering that last year your office was used by the rest of the building as a cold storage room, and you’re not too keen on sitting next to everybody’s lunch again this fall. Fear not, the heat is coming.

Tim Min, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB)’s Installation Energy Manager, said the heat normally gets turned on around the installation by

mid-October, but this year the base had to repair the boilers that deliver the heat to all the buildings.

“One of the issues we have this year is that all of our boilers were down hard for leaks and other repairs,” he said. “So that’s taken us a while, but now we will have them all up and running and the heat will be turned on in some buildings beginning this week.”

Now that Public Works has diligently repaired those issues with the boilers, the heat should start to rotate around the base, starting with the critical IT facilities, CDC’s and Berthing buildings where the requirement to start the heat is when the

For all admin and industrial facilities, those temperatures are a high of 60 degrees and a low of 50 degrees. The Commander, Navy Installations Command advises that all installations will attempt to maximize the seasonal transition by targeting four weeks to go without heating or cooling, and only authorizes heat when the internal temperatures of a building reach below 66 degrees for three consecutive days.

Before you purchase a space heater to fight off the cold in your office, remember that there are stringent rules regarding the use of electric heaters on the installation.

Public Works will try to balance the distribution of heat through your building first, but if they are unable to maintain your office at the 68 degree mark then you can apply for a waiver from Public Works to use approved electric heaters in the workplace, he said.

The important thing to remember is that electric heaters are a fire hazard, on top of the fact that they are not an efficient way to heat a room. If you are approved to use a space heater, remember to ensure that the area around it is clear of any potentially flammable materials. But most importantly, remember to stay safe while you try to stay warm.

If you are looking to decompress after a stressful work week or seeking a new career, Bokwa may be just what you need.

What is Bokwa? Bokwa (BOW-qwah) is a fitness exercise fusion. The “bo” comes from light boxing. The “kwa” comes from Kwaito, a free form of dancing in South Africa where people dance in groups allowing them to relax and have fun.

South African native Paul Mavi invented Bokwa fifteen years ago.

“I wanted to create something that is gonna allow people to move freely, with a sense of freedom and with a basic step so they can be able to express themselves,” said Mavi. “Bokwa is basically self-expressions with letters and numbers and everyday people doing simplistic steps to everyday music.”

Bokwa is not like traditional group exercise programs. There is no choreography to learn and no counting steps. Participants use their feet to draw letters and numbers while grooving to the

latest radio jams.

Bokwa is being taught in 57 countries around the world, from Africa to the United Kingdom. The program is attractive to participants based on the simplicity of its steps.

“Other dance programs are choreographed, made so the instructor looks amazing,” says Mavi. “Bokwa is designed so the end-user feels like they can achieve it and be as good as the instructor.”

A second draw to the program is that no particular fitness level is needed. Men, women and children of all ages, sizes, and abilities can participate and even teach classes.

Mavi offers a variety of Bokwa offshoots. Punch & Strike is a program he touts as being great for military participants. It uses a combination of punches and alternating heel and knee strikes set to music. There’s also the Step & Up program for higher intensity exercise. Bokwa H2O is ideal for those who like water aerobics, and Bokwa on Wheels is for those with mobility challenges.

Bokwa is coming to Joint Base Anacostia Bolling (JBAB) on Nov. 20, 21, and 22. Active military and their families, as well as retirees, can join in on

the fun at Fitness Center 1. The 3-day event will offer mutually exclusive activities for all. On Day 1 certified Bokwa instructors will host a master class for all fitness levels to learn the basic six steps of the program followed by a meet and greet with Paul Mavi.

Can’t dance? “No one would know,” said Valetta SuRae, recreation aide at the Functional Fitness Center. “The oddity of it [Bokwa] is that moving while doing the letter L, J and, the number one, looks like you are dancing.”

Day 2 presents a military challenge for competitive participants. Each will learn Punch & Strike techniques to improve cardio conditioning. Afterwards, they will compete in the Ultimate Military Cardio Challenge to win cash prizes.

Day 3 is an opportunity for 50 participants to receive free training to become a Certified Bokwa Instructor, a gateway to a new career.

SuRae is a certified American Council on Exercise (ACE) instructor, a natural fit for the former Army Drill Sergeant. After 24 years of active duty, SuRae earned her ACE certification in three days and the next day she had 25 clients.

She thought this could work for other people and has been actively seeking to bring a certification training program to JBAB to share with her clients, many of whom are military spouses. SuRae saw Bokwa as a great opportunity for the fitness center members who are looking for employment to earn money teaching classes.

“If you exercise here every day, it’s an easy transition,” SuRae said of being a certified instructor. “For those that have served, it’s a taste of being in leadership.”

She sought out Paul Mavi at a Bokwa event in West Virginia and the end result is the upcoming training session next month.

Mavi is eager to showcase Bokwa to the JBAB community at no cost. “It’s more than just another fitness program,” said Mavi. He believes it is a big stress reliever as it distracts participants from everyday problems and gives them a sense of belonging.

For more information or to register go to Eventbrite.com and search for “Paul Mavi” under Washington, D.C. events (The MDW “FREE” Bokwa Ultimate Military Challenge featuring creator Paul Mavi).

Don’t drink and drive, call SoberRide Courtesy of the Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Safety Office

Halloween isn’t always tricks and treats, it can also include parties and for some, alcoholic beverages.

The Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB)

Safety Office wants to remind everyone to drink responsibly, and have a plan to get home safely Oct. 31. One way to make that process easier is to take advantage of the Washington Regional Alcohol Program (WRAP) 2015 Halloween SoberRide.

WRAP’s SoberRide , called one of the nation’s most successful free cab ride programs

for would-be impaired drivers, has helped to ensure greater Washington, DC residents have a safe way home on high-risk holidays.

Since 1993, WRAP has provided over 62,773 safe rides home. Currently, SoberRide operates during the December/January holiday season, St. Patrick’s Day, Cinco de Mayo, Independence Day and Halloween.

Chaplain’s Religious Enrichment Development Operations The Chaplain’s Religious Enrichment Development Operations (CREDO) offers a variety of programs aimed at improving communication, adding resiliency, and training service members in valuable life skills.

Marriage Enrichment Retreat (MER) — Couples enjoy a free weekend at the Hilton Hotel in Crystal City, Virginia, where they learn and apply marriage skills such as communication and problem solving in a fun, small group atmosphere. Using personality inventories, participants learn that differences in marriages can be ways to enhance and complete one another in the marriage journey. The next MER is scheduled for Nov. 20-22.

Personal Resiliency Retreat (PRR) — The PRR highlights the essential components of hindsight, insight, and foresight in order to equip military personnel to accomplish the mission.

Overall, the goal of a PRR is to give participants an opportunity to grow and mature as individuals by reflecting on their lives. The next PRR is scheduled for Nov. 6-8.

All retreats are free including room and meals.They are open to all active duty and reserve military members and their dependents. For pre-registration call 202-404-8830/8831. For more information contact the CREDO office, 202-767-5901/5900, send an email to: credo.ndw.fcm@ navy.mil, or stop by the Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) Chapel and inquire within.

For a free ride home between 10 p.m. Oct. 31 and 4 a.m. Nov. 1, call 1-800-200-TAXI (8294).

SoberRide provides a free cab ride home up to a $30 fare. If the fare is more than $30, you are expected to pay the difference. You must be 21-years-old or older to use the SoberRide.
