Armed Forces Retirement Home residents visit JBAB

BY LT. CMDR. JIM REMINGTON

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) hosted nine residents of the Armed Forces Retirement Home June 5 as part of JBAB Vietnam War 50th Anniversary Commemoration Day. Between the nine in attendance, the veterans collectively served the United States from World War II through Operation Desert Storm. The center, home to 468 veterans, offers visits such as this one to JBAB as part of a larger program that keep its residents active with opportunities to visit different local destinations five days each week.

Retired Army Chief Warrant Officer 3 Chuck Daniels, a resident at the home for more than a year and a half, said their day at JBAB began with lunch at the Bolling Club.

“It was very good and I appreciate being invited. They treated us very well,” Daniels said.

Charles Vishee, a resident of more than three years and an Air Force veteran who served from 1946 to 1969, including tours of service in Korean and Vietnam wars, said he enjoyed the lunch they had on arrival at the base, “It was a long, leisurely and excellent lunch. They did an excellent job of service and presentation.”

Following lunch, the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard and U.S Navy Ceremonial Guard drill teams performed well rehearsed, challenging routines to honor JBAB’s guests.

“I was really impressed with it. I’m sure it took a lot of practice. They really looked sharp,” said retired Air Force Staff Sgt. Jack E. Beck, a 20-year veteran of the Air Force and resident of the home.

Vishee, who served as a flight engineer superintendent on four airframes during his career including the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, the Boeing B-50 Superfortress, the Boeing KC-97 Stratofreighter, and the Lockheed EC-121 Warning Star said, “I was so impressed. It just brought tears and made my heart flutter.”

Daniels, who spent 10 years as a combat engineer, another eight years in guided surface to surface missiles, and finished his final seven years in communications to include service with the Green Berets, said he regularly takes advan-

tage of the trips and activities that the Armed Forces Retirement Home officers to include two visits now to JBAB. “I was down here for the 50th anniversary of World War II flyover and it was great. So they take us to all these events.

They’re always looking out for us. They try to keep us busy.

And some of the fellas take advantage of it, some of them don’t,” Daniels said.

Even on campus Daniels said he has plenty to keep him busy.

“It’s great over there. They’ve got a theater in house.

They’ve got a fishing pond. They’ve got a golf course, arts and crafts. There are a lot of activities if you want to take advantage of them.”

Daniels also has good memories of the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard Drill Team’s performance just a few months ago at an antique car show that he attended and at which he also displayed his 1988 Mercedes sports car that has only 40,000 miles on it.

To conclude the ceremony, two U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guardsmen folded and presented the United States flag to Beck, who received it on behalf of all of the Armed Forces Retirement Home’s residents.

“I was very honored to receive this flag,” Beck said. “On behalf of my fellow constituents, we gratefully appreciate the receipt of this flag, and I’ll pass it along to our director so we can use it at the home and make sure that they mention that we got it here.”

The JBAB Vietnam War 50th Anniversary Commemoration Day was held as part of a nationwide program initiated in 2008 by the Secretary of Defense. The program officially launched in May 2012 with a presidential proclamation stating: In recognition of a chapter in our Nation’s history that must never be forgotten, let us renew our sacred commitment to those who answered our country’s call in Vietnam and those who awaited their safe return. Beginning on Memorial Day 2012, the Federal Government will partner with local governments, private organizations, and communities across America to participate in the Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War – a 13-year program to honor and give thanks to a generation of proud Americans who saw our country through one of the most challenging missions we have ever faced. While no words will ever be fully worthy of their service, nor any honor truly befitting their sacrifice, let us remember that it is never too late to pay tribute to the men and women who answered the call of duty with courage and valor. Let us renew our commitment to the fullest possible accounting for those who have not returned.

Throughout this Commemoration, let us strive to live up to their example by showing our Vietnam veterans, their families, and all who have served the fullest respect and support of a grateful Nation.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 28, 2012, through November 11, 2025, as the Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War.

Energy tip: ‘Current sensing’ power strips combat ‘vampire loads’

BY JEREMY K. JOHNSON JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Choose the right power strip and you can help combat the ‘vampire’ effect certain electronic devices have on energy consumption.

That’s the latest energy tip from Tim Min, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling’s installation energy manager.

“These strips are easy to use and they can reduce vampire loads,” explained Min. The term ‘vampire load’ refers to the energy that is consumed by electrical devices plugged-in, but in ‘standby mode’ or not in use. The practice results in electricity being wasted for non-productive purposes.

The power strips Min recommends to counter this effect are called “current sensing” strips.

JBAB base police to drivers: slow down

BY JEREMY K. JOHNSON JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) base police officers are enforcing speed limits on base and issuing tickets to violators.

According to Lt. Joseph Mitchell, a JBAB police watch commander, the number one concern related to speeding is the safety of pedestrians.

“We have a heavy amount of pedestrian traffic on base,” emphasized Mitchell. “In the past, we have had a couple of pedestrians struck by vehicles. There were no major injuries, but still, the safety of the populous and the employees who work here is our priority.”

Mitchell noted traffic is heaviest in the morning hours, identifying areas on the north side of the base and near DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) as some of the busiest for pedestrian traffic.

Although there are no fines, consequences for speeding can be serious. The typical penalty is issuance of a ticket with points; however, certain violations, including speeding 10 miles per hour or more above the posted limit in residential areas, can result in a 14-day suspension of driving privileges on base.

Additionally, ticketed infractions will be reported to the driver’s supervisor or sponsor (as appropriate).

The top speed permitted at JBAB is 35 miles per hour on main thoroughfares; it drops significantly in areas around the Child Development Centers and housing.

While drivers have the responsibility to be aware of their speed and surroundings, added Mitchell, pedestrians should also exercise good judgment to reduce their risk of being injured.

“The best thing pedestrians can do is take advantage of the crosswalks we have,” he explained. “And people love to run here in the morning, but I’ve stopped runners who didn’t have the proper reflective gear on.”

For runners, he advised, the best place to stay safe and U.S. NAVY PHOTO BY MICHELLE L. GORDON get a good outdoor run is the track located on Chappie Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) base police officers are enforcing speed limits on base and issuing tickets to violators.

National Capital Region First Sergeants Council presented Air Force Staff Sgt. Brittany Freeze with the Diamond Sharp Award June 3. “You are strong, you are feisty and you get the job done,” said council president Master Sgt. Taneka Lyles when she presented the award to Freeze. Lyles said the Diamond Sharp Award recognizes individuals who reach beyond their unit to make a difference throughout both the base and the community. “Recipients can be military or civilian,” said Lyles. “It’s specifically for those people who help out in phenomenal ways.

[Staff] Sgt. Freeze is that Airman.” Freeze has served in the Air Force for more than eight years and has previously been stationed in Japan, Korea, Germany, and Oklahoma. She arrived at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) eight months ago and currently serves as the executive assistant to JBAB’s Senior Enlisted Leader.

JBAB Vacation Bible School registration opens soon

BY MICHELLE L. GORDON JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

This summer Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) kids are invited to embark on an icy expedition at JBAB Chapel as they learn to overcome obstacles during Vacation Bible School (VBS).

The Mount Everest themed program will be held at JBAB Chapel July 13-17, and is open to children in preschool through sixth grade. Preschoolers must turn 4 years old by Dec. 31, 2015 and be potty trained to participate. Early registration is encouraged.

“Registration begins June 20 and it will continue until the classes are full,” said Peggy Eyler, JBAB’s protestant religious education coordinator. “It’s a very popular program, so classes usually fill up within the first couple of weeks,” she added.

During VBS, Eyler said the chapel will transform into a mountain adventure, where kids travel to different stations singing songs, going on bible expeditions, and completing arts and crafts projects – all of which link back to the lesson of the day.

“What the children are going to discover is that they can conquer all challenges with God’s mighty power,” she said. “That’s what Everest is all about.”

In addition to traditional VBS, the JBAB program also includes an annual mission project. Coordinated by JBAB’s Catholic

1051302

Religious Education Coordinator, Lynn Wolfkill, this year’s project will benefit a local Washington, D.C. shelter.

“Each year we try to do something different,” said Wolfkill. “This year the tithes and offerings will go to Martha’s Table. We try to keep it local so our kids will be helping underprivileged kids in their own area.”

Wolfkill said the children set a monetary goal at the beginning of the week and they are encouraged to earn money so they can contribute toward it.

“We like for them to do chores and other nice things around the house or for their neighbors to earn the money,” she said.

“We collect it each morning and, at the end of the week, it’s given as a donation in the children’s name.”

Eyler and Wolfkill have each taught religious education at JBAB for nearly 20 years; both said VBS would not be possible without volunteers.

“It takes a lot of people to make VBS happen and we are blessed with many volunteers who want to share their talents,” said Eyler. “The kids get to experience the bible through hearing stories, doing activities and singing songs. They also get to meet new friends. Vacation Bible School is a very unique approach to religious education and it takes a lot of people to make it happen.”

JBAB VBS is free to attend and is open to everyone with access to the base. For more information, call 202-757-5900.

Pentagon updates Equal Opportunity policy to include sexual orientation

BY DEFENSE MEDIA ACTIVITY AND JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Speaking at a DOD-Pentagon Pride Month event held June 9, Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced the Defense Department has updated its military equal opportunity program to protect service members against discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Delivering remarks at the fourth Pride event to be held at the Pentagon since 2012, he said the department has made a lasting commitment to living the values it defends, including treating everyone equally.

“We have to focus relentlessly on the mission, which means the thing that matters most about a person is what they can contribute to it,” Carter said.

The update, he said, “ensures that the department, like the rest of the federal government, treats sexual-orientation-based discrimination the same way it treats discrimination based on race, religion, color, sex, age and national origin.”

Fighting Discrimination “With this policy revision, we are now ensuring that service members are afforded protection against discrimination in the department’s military equal opportunity program, provided to all military members,” DOD spokesman Navy Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen said.

Service members now will be able to use command channels, the DOD Inspector General’s Office and the military equal opportunity process, just as DOD civilians are able to use civilian equal employment opportunity programs to resolve discrimi-

Commissary scheduled for ‘reset’ in June

The department’s experience during the years since the ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy was repealed indicates that the military equal opportunity program gives complainants greater access to resolution options, Christensen added, and gives commanders access to trained equal opportunity advisors during the complaints process.

“I’m very proud of the work that the military services have put into this over the last several months,” Carter said, “because discrimination of any kind has no place in America’s armed forces.”

Bolling Commissary at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) will be closed all day June 23-24 to undergo a “reset” of its retail space.

The store will close at 4 p.m. on June 22 and resume normal operating hours the morning of June 25.

According to Michelle Garrard, assistant commissary officer, the reset will include replacing hardware, implementing a new layout of the “dry goods” areas, and changing some of the inventory.

“The commissary will have a new look, including new shelves and new items on those shelves,” said Garrard.

According to a release by DeCA (Defense Commissary Agency), the reset is part of an agency-wide program that systematically changes how products are displayed on shelving throughout a commissary in order to better serve customer shopping patterns.

The goal is to give commissaries worldwide a more customer-friendly product flow

and a layout that is as consistent as possible from location to location, according to Tracie L. Russ, DeCA’s Directory of Sales.

“Although we have to take into consideration that no two commissaries are constructed exactly alike, a customer-friendly product flow means dog food will be next to pet supplies instead of the charcoal, peanut butter is best found next to the jam, and you shouldn’t have to cruise three different aisles to find all your cleaning products.

It’s a simple matter of making the commissary layout more sensible by ‘resetting’ the store,” she said.

Knowing the reset will mean a different layout, Garrard said customers should be assured the commissary team is ready to assist.

“We’ll also be providing a map for people so they can find their items,” she added.

DeCA says as part of the agency-wide reset, generic item locators will also be available on individual commissary web pages.

Store web pages are under the locations link at http://www.commissaries.com, along with store hours, contact information, store news and special customer service features.
