NDW commandant visits JBAB

As part of his visit to JBAB, the commandant of Naval District Washington (NDW), Rear Adm. Yancy Lindsey, toured Child Development Center III. The commandant of Naval District Washington (NDW), Rear Adm. Yancy Lindsey, visited with Sailors during his Aug. 25 trip to Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB).

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

The commandant of Naval District Washington (NDW) visited Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) Aug. 25 to meet the staff, gain a better understanding of their challenges, and hear their ideas for improvement.

The visit also served as a base orientation for the commandant since Rear Adm. Yancy Lindsey took command from Rear Adm. Markham Rich in June.

“I wanted to see the good stuff happening at Joint Base AnacostiaBolling and some of the challenges here to give me a good perspective

on the base, its conditions and the quality of life for its residents and tenants,” Lindsey said. “Every base has its own unique challenges and unique missions, and I think JBAB does a good job of taking care of the folks that live and work here.”

After a mission brief from JBAB leadership, Lindsey, accompanied by his wife Stacey and NDW Command Master Chief Dee Allen, visited Child Development Center III, Blanchard Barracks, Liberty Center, and the Military and Family Support Center (MFSC). They also toured a house located in Rickenbacker Place, as well as received a windshield tour of the installation.

Stacey Lindsey said she enjoys touring installations because it

gives her a better understanding of the quality of life programs available for military families.

At each stop the commandant spoke with the manager of the facility to get their input about current operations and ask what he could do to help. He also expressed his gratitude for their service.

During the tour, JBAB Commander, Navy Capt. Frank Mays and Lindsey discussed challenges such as resources and manning shortfalls, as well as success stories, such as energy initiatives and the Home Educators Program. Hearing about issues affecting the base directly from the installation commander is the main reason the commandant personally visits each installation.

Stacey Lindsey and Family Employment Readiness Manager Patricia Botkins discuss employment opportunities for spouses during Lindsey’s Aug. 25 trip to JBAB. “In a resource constrained environment, it’s good to get leadership out on JBAB’s ‘deckplates’ to see some of our challenges,” Mays said.

“Better yet though, it’s good for

leadership to see how JBAB’s stellar, can-do workforce is confronting these challenges and continues to take customer service to the next level.”

Volunteers help clean JBAB block STORY AND PHOTOS BY CHRISTOPHER HURD JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Volunteers from across the National Capital Region (NCR) participated in the first AdoptA-Block at Joint Base AnacostiaBolling (JBAB) Aug. 19.

The cleanup was sponsored by the NCR’s First Sergeants Council and covered the area outside of JBAB from Arnold gate down to Firth-Sterling gate.

“At this base (JBAB) we want the outside of our gates to look as nice as the inside,” said Master Sgt. Theresa Zupanc, First Sergeant with 811th Force Support Squadron(FSS) at the Pentagon and JBAB Adopt-ABlock coordinator.

The Adopt-A-Block cleanup is a quarterly requirement, but JBAB will hold theirs once a month while the weather is nice. Volunteers meet every third Wednesday of the month at 2 p.m. in the parking lot of bldg. 20 located to the right of Arnold gate.

Volunteers participated in the first JBAB Adopt-A-Block Aug. 19, helping clean up trash right outside the JBAB gates. The program is scheduled for the third Wednesday of every month at 2 p.m.

The program is set up through the city. They provide the garbage bags and gloves. By signing up, the participants are required to adopt a minimum of two square blocks and agree to at least the quarterly clean-up day and weekly litter pickup in the adopted area. The group will also maintain

the agreement for two years.

At the first event, the volunteers were able to pick up nine full bags of trash which included clothes, car parts, and food containers. The event gave JBAB community members the chance to help clean up the area.

“It’s always good to help out

The volunteers were able to pick up nine full bags of trash outside of JBAB between Arnold gate and Firth-Sterling gate. by being able to clean up and give back to the community,” said Airman 1st Class Marcus Corley, a volunteer and JBAB resident attached to the 811th FSS. The NCR’s First Sergeants Council encourages anyone who is interested to come out and help

next month.

Navy boot camp graduates first to earn recruit honor graduate ribbon

BY BRIAN WALSH RECRUIT TRAINING COMMAND PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The first 15 recruits were awarded the new Recruit Honor Graduate Ribbon during their Pass-In-Review (PIR) rehearsal in the Midway Ceremonial Drill Hall at Recruit Training Command (RTC), Aug. 20.

The Honorable Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus approved the award to recognize initial accession enlisted personnel who demonstrate superior performance throughout basic military training in the areas of academics, physical readiness, recruit leadership, and commitment to the Navy Core Values.

“RTC recognizes multiple top performing recruits at graduation, but now the recognition is outwardly visible on an honoree’s uniform,” said Rear Adm. Stephen Evans, commander of Navy Service Training Command (NSTC), who oversees the Navy’s only boot camp. “Wearing the Honor Grad Ribbon will be a visible sign to peers and superiors at the recipient’s future duty stations that the member demonstrated extraordinary excellence and leadership potential during basic military training and is capable of

Honor Recruits earning the ribbon will be authorized to wear it during their PIR graduation ceremony. No more than three percent of graduates from each training group will be designated as Honor Graduates.

“The ribbon is given to recruits who excel in every aspect of their

training at RTC,” said Chief Navy Counselor Tongela Freeman, a recruit division commander at RTC. “Their commitment and performance motivates their shipmates within the division to succeed. These recruits are typically the ones that will take time from their training to help others and are key in bringing the division together to work as a team.”

Seaman Recruit (SR) Joseph Agbingpadua entered boot camp on June 28 and was one of the 15 recruits who were the first recipients of the Recruit Honor Graduate Ribbon. According to Agbingpadua, it was an honor to be selected among his shipmates receiving the ribbon.

“It is special to me to think that in the 239 years of the Navy’s existence, I’m the first to receive the award out of boot camp,” said Agbingpadua. “Through the past eight weeks, my philosophy has been ‘Good, better, and best; never rest until your good is better and your better is best.’

I wouldn’t have received this award if it wasn’t for the leadership from my RDCs and the support from my shipmates in my division.”

In addition to Agbingpadua, the other new Sailors awarded the ribbon include: SR Jamie Murray, SR Matthew Jones, SR Brittany Walker, SR Renata Choi, SR Carlin Hatcher, SR Richard Cassube III, SR Stephen McGahey, SR Allison Revera-Medina, SR Garrett Firestone, SR Jeremy Cryer, SR Hunter Morrow, SR Bethany Vikowski, SR Timothy Seybold, and SR James Bell III. RTC is primarily responsible for conducting the initial Navy orientation and training of new

recruits. The command is commonly referred to as “boot camp” or “recruit training.”

Boot camp is approximately eight weeks, and all enlistees into the United States Navy begin their careers at the command. Training includes physical fitness, seamanship, firearms familiarization, firefighting and shipboard damage control, lessons in Navy heritage and core values, teamwork and discipline.

RTC Great Lakes is the Navy’s only basic training location, and is known as the “Quarterdeck of the Navy.” Today, approximately 38,000 recruits graduate annually from RTC and begin their Navy careers.

Rear Adm. Evans and his NSTC staff are headquartered in Building 1; the historic clock tower building on Naval Station Great Lakes. NSTC oversees 98 percent of initial officer and enlisted accessions training for the Navy.

NSTC also oversees the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) at more than 160 colleges and universities, Officer Training Command at Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island, and Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NJROTC) and Navy National Defense Cadet Corps (NNDCC) citizenship development programs at more than 600 high schools worldwide.

JUMP! program helps mentor area youth BY

SCOTT PAULEY

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIABOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The Joint Base AnacostiaBolling (JBAB) Joint Uniformed Mentoring Program (JUMP!) is looking for service members from all branches and DOD civilians to become mentors to work with school aged children in the local area.

Interested applicants should have a passion for helping children and a desire to inspire the minds of the future.

Applicants must attend one of the information sessions being held on Sept. 9 at the Stewart Theater at bldg.

52 on base from 10 to 11 a.m. or from 2 to 3 p.m.

This will be JBAB’s fourth year of mentoring students at Leckie Elementary School and Hart Middle School in the local D.C. community.

JUMP! is looking to expand its ranks in order to reach even more students this year.

Naval District Washington School Liaison Officer Daniel Dunham said the group

is just looking for members who are able to be consistent with the students and have a passion to help. “Those interested in joining the mentorship team do not need to have experience working with youth or mentoring in the past,” he said. “JUMP! is just looking for members with time and a willingness to guide, inspire and listen.”

Leckie Elementary School, located in nearby Washington D.C., is expecting to have 15 students participate in the program this year out of the

40 total that JUMP! will work with. Tracy Payton, Leckie’s Dean of Students, said participation helps students by allowing them to create a bond with the mentors and to really feel appreciated.

“The children like the idea of someone taking an interest in them,” she said. “This program is about investing in our future. The children are our future.”

For more information, email Daniel Dunham at daniel.l.dunham@navy.mil.

U.S. Airman recognized as ‘hero’ in Paris

BY TECH. SGT. RYAN CRANE HEADQUARTERS U.S. AIR FORCES IN EUROPE AND AIR FORCES AFRICA

U.S. Ambassador to France, Jane D. Hartly, recognized Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone for his actions in saving countless lives during a terrorist attack aboard a train headed toward Paris Aug. 21.

“We often use the word hero, and in this case I know that word has never been more appropriate,” Hartley said.

“They are truly heroes.

When most of us would run away, Spencer, Alek and Anthony ran into the line of fire, saying ‘Let’s go.’ Those words changed the fate of many.”

Stone and his two friends, Aleksander Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler, were on vacation and headed from Amsterdam to Paris when an armed man entered their cabin.

“It wasn’t a conscious decision,” Skarlatos, an Army National Guard Soldier stationed in Oregon said. “We didn’t even have time to think about it. We just acted.”

The trio had just spent the previous three days enjoying Amsterdam on their vacation. They were excited to make it to Paris so they got up early and made their way to the train station.

Their train wasn’t leaving for four hours so they killed time buying souvenirs and, according to them, eating the best ice cream they ever had. They thought their

Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone along with Jane D. Hartly, the U.S. ambassador to France, and his two friends speak at a press conference in Paris Aug. 23 following a foiled attack on a French train. Stone was on vacation with his childhood friends, Aleksander Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler, when an armed gunman entered their train carrying an assault rifle, a handgun and a box cutter. The three friends, with the help of a British passenger, subdued the gunman after his rifle jammed. vacation was off to a great start.

Their train arrived and it was time to depart Amsterdam.

“We had first class tickets,” Stone explained, “but we just found a spot we liked somewhere else on the train.

Turns out our wagon didn’t have Wi-Fi so we decided to use our first class tickets and moved to another wagon.”

After about an hour on the train they were settled in somewhere in Belgium.

“I was asleep with my headphones on and my friend, Alek, was sitting to the left of me and Anthony was sitting to my right across the aisle,” Stone said.

“I wake up and I see Alek moving around saying ‘oh crap! oh crap!’”

Skarlatos motioned to the gunman who entered

the cabin brandishing an AK-style assault rifle.

“I kinda turn around and see the guy,” Stone said, “and he’s got the AK, he’s trying to charge it. I just throw my headphones off and turn around in my seat, get low and kinda look around.”

At this point the gunman had passed Stone and Skarlatos. It was at that moment their lives changed.

“Alek taps me on the shoulder and says ‘go get ‘em!’ and that’s when I got up and I sprinted at him,” he said.

“It was a long sprint. It felt like slow motion.”

“I heard him charge it (the assault rifle) a few more times, and heard a ‘click.’ It still wasn’t working.”

Stone explained that every time he heard a click, he

feared that he would die.

“I heard the ‘click’ and thought, ‘whew! I’m still here,’” he said.

Stone finally made contact with the gunman, throwing his body into him.

The two started grappling.

“I was feeling for the gun and couldn’t find it,” Stone said. “I felt it a couple times but he kept taking it away.

So I just put him in a rear naked choke to protect myself and my friend, Alek, came up and took the AK. But he just kept pulling weapons left and right. He pulled a handgun and it seemed liked he pointed it back at me and I heard it click.”

It is not apparent why the guns malfunctioned so many times, but it gave the trio time to wrestle them away from the gunman.

“I saw him making a slashing motion,” Stone explained. “When I leaned over his shoulder I see he has about a six-inch box cutter blade and I look down and my thumb is hanging halfway off.”

At this point Stone lost his grip on the gunman.

“I let him go and by that point the shooter was in the middle and me, Alek and Anthony are just surrounding him and we just started pounding him,” he said. “I got him in another choke and I choked him out until he went unconscious and my friend kept hitting him in the face with the gun.”

The gunman was down.

The trio began assessing any other threats in the area.

“My friend (pointed) out the guy who got hit in the

neck,” Stone said. “I don’t know how he got hit but he was spurting blood everywhere. So I yelled out ‘I’m a medic I’m a medic!’ and took the guy and held him down. I just stuck my finger in his neck, found what I thought was an artery and just pressed down. I held that position until authorities came.”

At this point, Stone was pretty badly wounded. His thumb was nearly severed and he had sustained gashes that were dangerously close to major arteries. The nurses later told him that he was lucky that the cuts were not further over.

Despite his wounds he never had a second thought about helping someone else.

“I felt like I was the only person who could help him,” Stone said. “I didn’t really care about my injuries at that point because I thought that guy was gonna die, so I wanted to give him a fighting chance.”

Stone said that he believes everything happens for a reason. Every moment in life leads to the next. He said that there was a reason he and his friends were on that train and that they moved to first class.

“I feel good that we were able to save those people there in that right moment,” Stone said.

Stone, 23, has been in the Air Force for nearly three years. His training as a medic prepared him for how to react in a situation like this, but his family taught him to help those who need help.

5

“I would say it was more so how I was raised and the Air Force just gave me the tools I needed to be the person I have always wanted to be I guess,” Stone said.

“There have been a bunch of influential people in my career so far that have just helped me gain the knowledge that I have.”

When asked about his family, Stone cracked a smile.

“Oh yeah; my family is proud of me. My brother is yelling ‘My brother is an international hero!’ screaming over the phone.

My mother, sister, friends, family neighbors — everyone is excited for me.”

The story has been played out in the public light over the past few days and is certainly an intense ride. Many said that it feels like a movie in the making.

Jokingly, Stone said that if they ever do make this into a movie, he knows exactly who he wants to play him.

“Denzel Washington, but I don’t think that would ever happen,” Stone joked.

Despite his fairly calm demeanor only days after the attack, Stone was able to reflect on the event as a day that could have gone a lot differently.

“If it wasn’t for Alek and Anthony, I’d be dead,” Stone said. “I wouldn’t have been able to do it by myself. He definitely woulda’ got me.”

The gunman had multiple magazines and almost 300 rounds of ammunition.

“He seemed like he was ready to fight to the end,” Stone said. “So were we.”

Congratulations to the newest JBAB staff sergeants

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 Sept. 18-20.

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 Sept. 18-20.

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.
