Leckie Elementary honors JBAB Airmen at Veterans Day assembly Story and photos By Michelle L. Gordon Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs

“Did you enlist or were you drafted?”

“Do you get yelled at a lot?”

“Have you ever served in a war?”

“Why did you join?”

“What did your first day in the service feel like?”

“Do you get scared sometimes in your job?”

These were some of the questions asked by students at Leckie Elementary School during their Veterans Day special assembly held Nov. 9 in the school gymnasium.

Students in 3rd grade through 6th grade attended the assembly and Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) president Larissa Camilleri served as the event moderator. The assembly included a Veterans Day panel of five Airmen from Joint

Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB), who each explained why they joined the military and what they do for the Air Force.

“This gave the students a broader perspective,” said Camilleri.

“Most of them aren’t familiar with the military community and it helps them understand that they are people too.”

Leckie Elementary is JBAB’s Partner in Education. Military kids make up about one-third of the school’s population, and many of them call JBAB home. The Veterans Day panel was an opportunity to expose all of the students to military careers outside of what they see on TV and in movies, as well as clear up any misconceptions the students had about military life.

“Do you get to see your parents?” asked third grader Lyric Johnson.

“We are just like you, or like your parents I should say,” said Air Force Senior Master Sgt. Robert Jones. “We have lives, we have jobs and we have parents. Sometimes they visit us and sometimes we visit them. We have children just like you and we want them to see their grandparents.”

Jones, who lives in Oxon Hill, Maryland, said he volunteered to participate in the panel because he wanted to give back to his local community.

“I live not too far from here,” he said. “This area is near and dear to my heart so I wanted to come show my support.”

This was the first Veterans Day event hosted by the school and Camilleri said she hopes to continue the tradition. She said she already has ideas on how to expand it for next year.

Following the Veterans Day assembly at Leckie Elementary on Nov. 9. the students enjoyed visiting with the service members and asking follow-up questions. Many of the students said they were too nervous to ask their questions during the presentation so they waited to ask them one-on-one.

Breast Cancer awareness is a year-round issue

By Scott Pauley Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs

Imagine sitting in the cold waiting room of your doctor’s office, knowing that the news you’re about to hear is potentially life changing.

You’ve lived your life the best way you could, making sure to eat healthy, exercise regularly and take your vitamins. You’re within your healthy weight range, and there’s no history of cancer in your family. Cancer doesn’t seem to care though. Naomi Willoughby, a volunteer with the American Cancer Society (ACS) and a breast cancer survivor, lived this nightmare, and she’s come through it with a renewed faith and a resolve to help others in her position.

“I was devastated and yes I cried and I felt hopeless and that my life span and expectancy would be cut short,” she said, describing her reaction to the news that she had stage one breast cancer. “Being a woman of faith, the faith kicked in a little bit later. It took me a few minutes to get myself together, but I did. I got angry at God, because I believed myself to be a woman of faith trusting in my God and my Lord and Savior.”

Willoughby did all the right things, and by all accounts was a healthy person with no reason to suspect that she would be in this unfathomable position. “I try to maintain a healthy diet.

I’m in my weight division. I exercise when I can.

I thought I was doing everything right to be healthy,” she said. “But as you know, cancer has no respect of persons. It affects black, white, rich, poor, fat, skinny, healthy and not healthy.

It just goes about seeking who it can devour. So I was angry because I was thinking I did everything right.”

Willoughby’s experiences aren’t entirely unique. The ACS estimates that there are about 231,840 new cases of invasive breast cancer already and about 60,290 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be diagnosed (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of

breast cancer) leading to about 40,290 women who will die from breast cancer. The ACS also reports that breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, exceeded only by lung cancer, and the chance that breast cancer will be responsible for a woman’s death is about 1 in 36 (about 3 percent).

Janet Grund, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB)’s Health Promotion Coordinator, said mammograms are important as a yearly preventative exam to help catch breast cancer in its early stages and increase the chance of survival.

“Our Disease manager for the 579th Medical Group, Julia Focht, scrubs the list of beneficiaries that are higher risk and then requests to set up a mammogram appointment for them throughout the National Capital Region, wherever and whenever is most convenient for them,” she said. “It increases your survival rate by 50 percent if you can get a mammogram and detect it early. Also, it decreases the chance that you’ll have to go through chemotherapy or radiation, and really gives you more options in your recovery.”

The problem is not getting people to schedule a mammogram, said Grund, but getting them to keep that appointment and not tie up the radiology sections that offer it with missed appointments. “How do you know if you are at risk really, unless you get a mammogram and make sure,” she said.

For more information on mammograms around the National Capital Region, and to make an appointment with the 579th Medical Group on JBAB, call (888) 999-1212.

“You’re not in this alone. We are here to walk with you. Get your mammogram. Do it for yourself, and do it for your family and all those who love you,” said Willoughby. “There is a calling and a purpose on your life. We need you. Your life matters and you’re very valuable.

Get that mammogram, and live life even more abundantly.”

Slow,

children at play Commentary by Michelle L. Gordon Editor, Joint Base Journal

Keeping my kids out of the street is almost a full-time job when they play outside.

Fortunately I live on a cul-desac, which does reduce traffic, but does not eliminate it completely. Cars drive faster than I prefer down our street and more frequently than they should for a circle. But, for the most part, I feel my kids are pretty safe — even in the street. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not advocating playing in the street, but kids don’t always listen.

So, when I learned about the speeding concerns on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB), I wanted to help the residents, specifically the parents of young children who live on Duncan Avenue.

Their message is not long, their demands are not many — they simply want drivers to slow down.

As the editor of the Joint Base Journal, I received an email describing the situation last week.

The author was looking for more avenues to reach her fellow JBAB drivers. She mentioned that she and other Duncan Avenue residents have been in contact with

To give military shoppers peace of mind this holiday season, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) is extending its return policy for items purchased between Nov. 1 and Dec. 24.

The Exchange’s standard policy allows returns anywhere from up to 15 to 90 days of purchase with a sales

both Hunt Housing and JBAB leadership to address the speeding issue — and address it they have.

New four-way stop signs will soon be placed at the intersections of Duncan Avenue and Tyndall Street, and Duncan Avenue and Angell Street. New “Slow Children at Play” signs are now up. A crosswalk was recently added to safely allow Duncan families to cross from their homes to the sidewalk on the other side of the street — the only sidewalk along Duncan Avenue.

The speed limit on Duncan Avenue was reduced from 25 to 20 mph, and JBAB Police increased their patrols to catch violators during peak times.

All of these methods are good indicators that the prime concern for both JBAB leadership and Hunt Housing is the safety of their residents, “It is something we take very seriously which is why we are implementing all of these new measures” said JBAB Vice Commander, Air Force Col. Kendall Peters.

Peters also added that Duncan Avenue is unique because it is used by both housing residents and the base populace. As a member of the latter category I

never really thought about it.

However, the opening statement of the email I received from the Duncan resident caught my eye, “There is a small community of houses that reside on Duncan Avenue. Many drive by not paying too much attention. Some probably don’t even notice the five duplexes that hide behind the large trees, but we are here.

We call this home.”

It wasn’t angry, or hateful, or even disgruntled. It was simply a reminder that while Duncan Avenue may be the quickest route to your office or a great shortcut to bypass traffic on Chappie James Boulevard, it is also where kids ride bikes without training wheels for the first time. It is where new scooters get a spin around the neighborhood.

It is where footballs get tossed around in the front yard and then bounce into the street on an incomplete pass. It is where moms and dads push strollers, pull wagons and take walks as a family. It is, for the most part, a neighborhood street.

We’re all busy, and no doubt late for something, but speeding is never the answer to lateness.

Please respect the posted speed limit on Duncan Avenue and if possible, use Chappie James Boulevard instead. At 30 mph, the speed limit is faster there anyway.

Turkey Trot is a chance to get fit, fight hunger

By Tamara Ward Joint Base Journal Staff Photojournalist

The Air Force Honor Guard and Navy Ceremonial Guard have partnered again for a 2nd Annual 5k Run. This year the event is called Turkey Trot and it’s coming to Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB).

For the cost of a canned good, or any non-perishable food item, you can earn a t-shirt, possibly win a turkey, and feed families in the Washington, D.C. area — all while getting some light exercise.

Last year’s race took place at Joint Base Andrews. Race coordinator Staff Sgt. Lawrence Rajab, a member of the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard (Pallbearer Flight), handed the reigns for this year’s race to Tech. Sgt. Maurice Chaney, a fellow U.S. Air Force Honor Guard member.

Chaney is the non-commissioned officer in charge of Drill. He had different plans in mind for the race location. “I want to hold it here, on this base,” said Chaney. “I want to get everybody else involved, the other communities, the

Navy community, the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) community and the civilians on base.”

The first race race didn’t have a formal name. Chaney settled on “Turkey Trot” based on previous races that he had done while stationed abroad. The Aerobic Center normally does a 5k, but agreed to partner with Chaney to do this one.

With roughly 150 race participants, 4,500 pounds of food donations were collected. The Honor Guard and Ceremonial Guard packaged meals and delivered them to the Capital

Area Food Bank in Virginia, and then to two separate Boys and Girls Clubs in Maryland and Washington, D.C. Chaney‘s goal for this year is to collect at least 5,000 pounds of food contributions. That target is already within reach, with the nearly 2,000 collected and standing by for distribution.

All donations are stored in the “H” — the center of the Honor Guard campus.

The first two participants in the race to cross the finish line will each win a turkey, while still helping families in need through their

JBAB Fire EMS

play pivotal role in rescue exercise for clean water effort Story and photos by Tamara Ward Joint Base Journal Photojournalist

NDW F&ES hoist a rescue dummy to safety during training exercise while construction workers look on. The drill is a requirement for a DC Water contract on JBAB to expand sewage tunnels.

Naval District Washington Fire and Emergency Services (NDW F&ES) took part in an evacuation exercise on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) on Nov. 5 to simulate the rescue of an injured construction worker in a possible confined space.

The mock drill rescue was conducted per an agreement between District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water) and NDW F&ES as required by a construction contract for DC Water’s Clean Rivers Project.

The Clean Rivers Project is a longterm program with the goal of mini-

mizing sewer overflow into the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers and Rock Creek. Currently, waste overflows into area rivers when there are heavy rainfalls. Part of the tunnel infrastructure that funnels the waste resides below JBAB. The drill was a proactive measure to ensure safety at the construction site. Corman Construction Company has been contracted by DC Water to expand the tunnels under JBAB that capture the waste. According to Justin Brown, safety engineer, another company is building

a shaft 50-feet in diameter on JBAB. “We are going to build a diversion structure to divert the excess flows into the shaft,” said Brown.

While NDW F&ES was responsible for conducting the exercise, the two construction crews of 30 workers were required to observe the evacuation drill. “We’re working in confined spaces and if somebody was to lose consciousness, we want to make sure everybody is familiar with the rescue procedures,” said Richard Barnes, safety engineer for Corman Construction.

“We don’t have a lot of calls for con-

The race is schedule for Friday, Nov. 20 and starts at 7 a.m. in front of the aerobic

fined space,” said NDW F&ES District Fire Chief Jeff Williams. “Our team is ready [and] we have the equipment to do what we need to do. It’s a good training environment and we are going to take advantage of it.”

Seventeen fire and emergency personnel were onsite for the exercise to include JBAB, the Washington Navy Yard and the Naval Research Lab. With a rescue dummy in place at the construction to represent an incapacitated worker, the first responders began to lower a metered white hose where the faux victim laid.

“The meter will pull up the air to meter the environment ... is to make sure there is enough oxygen, [and] make sure there is no carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide down there,” said Williams. “It is measuring for hydrogen sulfide, which is an explosive gas, especially with piping and sewers.”

According to the District Fire Chief, the meter also tests for what he calls explosive limits. “If there is anything down there that is explosive, any type of vapor or gas, it’ll pick it up and give us a reading,” said Williams. “If we get that, then, of course, we stop and make sure our people are properly geared up. Do a little bit of research because we have our hazmat unit here and then determine what [is] our plan of action.”

If it is a dangerous environment, the rescuers can use fans to blow fresh air

in to rid the area of contamination. If all the readings are good and there is nothing flammable they will lower a ladder to the incident site and send a member of the fire and EMS team down to determine if it is a victim or a body recovery. If it is a body recovery the pace is slower, but they are still concerned with getting them out. If it is a victim, they will attend to the victim, check for and tend to injuries, and get them out as quickly as possible.

In this drill scenario, the readings were clear and rescuers used the aerial device of the firetruck ladder as an anchoring point to the hoist the victim up in a Stokes Rescue Basket. The end result was a technical rope rescue with several key players on hand to ensure its success.

The safety officer monitored the health and safety of the all personnel at the incident scene. The “rescue”, the person in the hole, tended to the victim and administered medical care.

The rigging captain was responsible for making sure that equipment was anchored properly. The air monitor keeps abreast of the environmental conditions as reported by the meter.

In addition, there was a host of personnel to pitch in where and when needed.

“We don’t have a lot of opportunities for confined space rescues … and that’s a good thing,” said Williams.

“This was a good training exercise.”
