JBAB kids learn about performing arts, life skills STORY AND PHOTOS BY MICHELLE L. GORDON JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Children from throughout Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) took the stage July 17 to perform “Blackbeard the Pirate” for their families and friends as part of a weeklong performing arts camp.

The camp is part of Missoula Children’s Theatre, the largest touring children’s theatre in the country. A team of two Tour Actor/ Directors (TADs) arrived at JBAB July 13 and held auditions at JBAB Youth Center. More than 70 kids auditioned; 56 ultimately earned a part in this year’s production. Rehearsals began that day and continued throughout the week with the performance scheduled to take place July 17 at Bolling Club.

“The show is basically this person on the beach, Jolly Roger, played by myself, talking to these beach bums about a pirate treasure that was buried on this beach,” said Ilanna Tariff, one of the Missoula TADs. “The story goes back and forth between present day and 300 years ago, when Blackbeard and his crew found the treasure.

The morale of the story: true treasures aren’t found in a box.”

The cast was comprised of kids ages 5 to 17, including several Missoula veteran participants.

Charis Vander Hamm, 12, who played “Bluebeard,” said this was her fifth performance with Missoula Children’s Theatre and she encourages all kids to give it a chance.

“The costumes and props are really awesome, and it’s just fun to be able to meet new people,” said Vander Hamm. “It’s a really great way to learn how to act and you can do it even if you’re shy. Just overcome that fear and be bold.”

“Missoula Children’s Theatre has been coming here at least 15 years and we’ve never repeated a performance; it’s always something new,” said Joyce Sheridan, JBAB Youth Center director. “It’s

Based in Missoula, Montana, Missoula Children’s Theatre is the largest touring children’s theatre in the country.

Throughout the year, 35 teams of two Tour Actor/Directors (TADs) travel the United States, as well as 16 other countries, providing performing arts camps on military bases and in local communities. Missoula has visited Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling for at least 15 years. This year’s production, “Blackbeard the Pirate,” was held July 13-17. great because it provides a safe introduction to theater for the kids and the whole family. They bring everything with them - the costumes, the lighting, the set - it really makes it easy for the families.”

In addition to teaching fundamentals of theater, the experience also provides an opportunity to learn the lessons of group dynamics.

“We’re trying to develop life skills in these kids through participation in the performing arts; that’s our goal,” said Carlysle Garland, Missoula TAD. “We’re trying to teach them confidence and self-esteem, how to respect others, how to work as a team, and how to focus [to] work from a plan, organizational skills, and courage.

“These are all lessons they can apply during real-life situations like sports teams, school work, and group work. They’re learning that although everyone is different, and everyone comes from different paths of life, everyone is there to accomplish the same goal.”

Lieutenant Maynard of the Royal Sailors, portrayed by Syndney Vanhorn, finds Blackbeard’s treasure, and discovers that it contains water from the fountain of youth.

The story is told from the perspective of Jolly Roger, portrayed by Missoula TAD Ilanna Tariff (bottom left).

Jolly Roger tells the story of Blackbeard’s treasure to the “beach bums.”

According to Jolly Roger, Blackbeard charged the sand crabs with protecting the location of his treasure.

Each Missoula Children’s Theatre production includes costumes, sets, lights, sound and full make-up for the cast.

Meet Kimberly Lahm, JBAB’s Sexual Assault Response Coordinator

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

Kimberly Lahm is the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC) at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB).

She is a very busy person.

Lahm’s job as SARC includes training Navy personnel around Navy District Washington (NDW) on matters related to Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR), and being responsible for a team of sexual assault victim advocates within the same area.

Her area of responsibility includes JBAB, Joint Base Andrews, U.S. Naval Research Lab, Fort Belvoir, and the Pentagon.

By the numbers - since she began her job in September of 2013 - she’s provided more than 550 hours of training to more than three-thousand people.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist who has been practicing for nearly 14 years, Lahm is familiar with a wide variety of situations including domestic violence, child abuse and interpersonal violence.

She’s worked with the Navy for eight years, starting at JBAB in 2007, and much of her career has been in family advocacy, including clinical counseling and intervention programs.

She’s also served as a family advocacy program analyst for Commander, Navy Installations Command.

Lahm sat down and spoke with us about SAPR and some of the things she’d like people to know about the program.

JBJ: Thanks for taking the time to chat with us. So, what does your job entail?

KL: The Sexual Assault Response Coordinator is essentially the subject matter expert for the SAPR program. I’m the installation

SARC here, which means that I’m the lead there’s an Air Force SARC with whom I work very closely, as well as a SARC for DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency). We collaborate on awareness events.

KL: The SAPR program has two elements.

The first is victim care. We want to make sure that victims of sexual assault - whether they’re active duty military, reservists or military dependents ages 18 or older - get the support and assistance they need. Our program serves victims who are assaulted by a non-intimate perpetrator - strangers, someone the victim has been dating and ‘relationships’ of that nature. Assault by an intimate partner or spouse falls under Family Advocacy.

KL: To make sure victims get the care they need, part of our job is to make sure the sexual assault victim advocates get the training and credentials they need. The advocates are volunteers from each of the different commands. They’re either active duty or DOD civilians and employees.

KL: The other aspect of this job is prevention. We spend a lot of time - I’d say a majority of time - is spent on the prevention end of that. That’s doing training for the general population. So, I do general military training, INDOCs (orientation training) and specialized training for first responders.

JBJ: And the response piece?

KL: Sure. What’s important for people to know is that we have a 24/7 phone number. If they’re not quite sure which program is the right choice for them, we encourage them to call us and we’ll support them and provide them with whatever they need if SAPR isn’t the right fit for them.

JBJ: What programs focus on prevention?

KL: The primary one is one that the Navy is focused on as a whole is bystander in-

tervention. Part of that is empowering and educating folks on how to intervene when they see things that don’t seem to sit well for them. That includes addressing things that are on the ‘continuum of harm’ like sexual harassment in the workplace. We spend a lot of time talking about bystander intervention.

There’s a separate program the Navy the provides through command leadership to train its people on bystander intervention, but all of our training also talks about that topic.

KL: Another piece of prevention training we do here every month - I meet with the new unaccompanied housing members for the Navy. They’re required to participate in the training within 30 days of checking in to the barracks. It’s a specific training to talk about prevention efforts in the barracks.

Again, a lot of the focus is on educating them about bystander intervention - what

it is and helping them work through what their options are in a variety of situations.

KL: We also spend a lot of time talking about consent as it relates to sexual assault, because we know a high number of sexual assaults involve alcohol. Alcohol facilitated sexual assault is fairly prevalent through the general population. So we spend time talking about taking care of friends when they’re out drinking and they see somebody is vulnerable because they may have had too much to drink. How do they get that person out of a potentially dangerous situation?

JBJ: How would you define bystander intervention?

KL: Bystander intervention involves actively preventing a potentially harmful or dangerous situation. It’s identifying a potential situation and intervening, whether it’s directly or indirectly. Bystanders can play a tremendous role. Sometimes they think that it means being a big hero and intervening when they see an assault actually happening. That could be, but most likely what they’re going to see is a potential victim being targeted by someone else and getting a gut feeling that something doesn’t feel right. We talk about how to intervene in a way that’s tactful, but keeps that person who is vulnerable safe.

After the interview, Lahm emphasized the importance of keeping a list of resources for sexual assault response close at hand.

To reach the 24/7 JBAB/Pentagon Hotline, dial 202-767-7272. To reach a 24/7 victim advocate, dial 202-258-6717. The DOD Safe Helpline is also available at 1-877-995-5247.

Medical group completes “all hazards” training exercise

BY CHRISTOPHER HURD JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The 579th Medical Support Squadron here held an annual “all hazards” field training exercise July 15 at the base medical facility.

The exercise is designed to test the team during real world hazard scenarios.

“We are trying to assess our disaster teams’ ability to respond and recover from a terrorist attack,” said Air Force 1st Lt. Samantha J. Brown, squadron medical readiness officer, “making sure no matter what happens we are carrying on our medical mission.”

During the exercise, teams are tested in their ability to deal with chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) attacks.

This CBRNE scenario involved a terrorist attack using chemical warfare.

In the morning, the medical readiness team briefed team leaders on the situation. Team leaders then briefed their teams, put on decontamination suits and began to setup operations to assist simulated patients.

In this scenario, because emergency care is 45 minutes away, patients needed to be decontaminated and treated before they could leave the base for more definitive care.

Outside of the clinic, the teams worked in stages to usher patients through.

First, patients went through security to check for weapons and then for mobility to arrange transport if needed.

Next, they were brought through primary triage, where team members looked for life-threating injuries and tagged them into minimal, delayed or immediate help categories based on symptoms.

Patients were then moved to decontamination, where they were sprayed and washed to get rid of all contaminants.

Throughout the process, teams constantly worked together.

“We all help each other out,” said Air Force Maj. David Schindler, general dentist and triage team chief for the medical group. “The sooner we can get them through every stage, the sooner we can help save their lives.”

Following decontamination, patients were seen by the secondary triage team to determine if their symptoms or status had changed.

After assessment, they were moved into the clinic to see the patient administration team.

The 579th Medical Group’s decontamination team waits to treat simulated patients during their annual all hazards training exercise July 15 outside of the base clinic.

From there they were seen by the minimal, delayed and immediate clinical teams, who worked to get them the care they needed. The mental health, pharmacy and lab teams provided support for the clinical teams.

The two-hour exercise is designed to put pressure on the clinic teams and prepare them in case a real world event occurs.

“I think it is awesome that they give us challenges and push us in a way that we wouldn’t really expect,’ said Air Force Capt. Rahul Kumar, general dentist and decontam-

ination team chief for the medical group. “Every year we learn from it and try to get better.”

Schindler added, each year they change up the scenario and keep the members guessing and it’s that type of challenge that prepares the staff for a potential real life event.

“I think if you can mimic the sense of urgency, the hustle, the adrenaline pumping, the curveballs, you will be better prepared to handle adversity the next time you are in a real world event,” he said.

PHOTO COURTESY OF U.S. AIR FORCE HONOR GUARD

On July 17, 2015 the Air Force Honor Guard dedicated one of its classrooms in honor of retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Robert L. Smolen. Smolen, who passed away May 18, 2014, served as commander for the Air Force District of Washington from April 2006 to June 2007. Smolen’s widow, Mrs. Adriane Smolen, donated 15 items of memorabilia to the Air Force Honor Guard; valued at over $5,000. The classroom dedication ceremony had the Honor Guard Commander, Air Force Maj. Peter Tritsch Jr., as the host and the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force, Gen. Larry Spencer, as the guest speaker. The Air Force Honor Guard coordinated with the Air Force historian, legal office, education center and Mrs. Smolen in order to accept the donated memorabilia to display in its classroom. The classroom renovation/dedication effort took six weeks with 21 volunteers providing over 200 man-hours to complete.

The Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) Judge Advocate office (JAG), located in Bldg. 20, Suite 49, is ready to assist service members with their legal problems.

The office is open Monday through Friday by appointment only with walk ups available for power of attorney from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“We are trying to get the word out about the services we offer,” said Navy Lt. Colin A. Hood, base legal assistance attorney. “So that people on base know that they can come to us for certain types of legal assistance.”

The office is available to all active duty personal, individuals eligible for retirement pay and reservists who are either deploying or have orders for 30 days or longer, he said.

“We are primarily concerned with readiness and issues that affect your ability to do your job,” he said. Common things they see are wills, estate planning, divorces and landlord tenant issues.

They also offer assistance with creditors, credit card debt, fraud, breaking your apartment or car lease, immigration paperwork, custody disputes, adoptions, identity theft and can help you find legal counsel or advise you on the best course of action in court proceedings.

“We have some great services here and we want to help as many people as possible,” Hood said.

Some people seem to have a stigma about asking for help with legal issues but they shouldn’t, he said.

“Everyone can run into legal problems,” he said. “They aren’t anything to be embarrassed about. We are here to help and the sooner you can get to us the more we can head off any problems you have.”

If you need legal assistance please call the base JAG at 202-767-5297 and set up an appointment today.

JBAB Airmen selected for master sergeant

5

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

The Air Force selected 5,301 technical sergeants out of 23,619 eligible for promotion to master sergeant July 16; the following day, selectees celebrated at Bolling Club with a party hosted by the Washington Area Top III. According to a release from the Air Force Personnel Center, this is the first master sergeant promotion cycle to incorporate a two-phase selection process. The twophase process included a phase I score based on Weighted Airman Promotion System factors (enlisted performance reports, time in grade, time-in-service, decorations points, promotion fitness examination, and skills knowledge test scores). Eligible Airmen whose phase I scores met the cutoff for their control Air Force specialty code are then considered for promotion during the phase II central evaluation board.

During the celebration, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling’s (JBAB) Senior Enlisted Leader, Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Kloeppel, talked about what the selection for promotion to master sergeant represents.

“These individuals truly are making history because this is the first go-around for this new process,” said Kloeppel. “Right now it’s all about performance and staunch leadership. The board recognized leadership from every person in this room wearing those new ‘tacked-on’ stripes.”

Navy Capt. Frank Mays, JBAB commander, echoed Kloeppel’s thoughts on leadership, as well as encouraged the selectees to begin the transition into their new role.

“You are currently tech sergeants, you’re known for your technical expertise and

be able to make that transition seamlessly.”

Technical Sgt. Thony Dorvil, non-commissioned officer of promotions at the Military Personnel Flight on JBAB said he understands the additional requirements associated with the rank of master sergeant and he’s ready to assume his new leadership role.

“Up until tech sergeant it’s about making the next stripe, but as a master sergeant it’s more about everybody else you support,” said Dorvil. “As you go higher in rank you become a bigger servant to your troops and hopefully become that leader that they all need.”
