Free assistance available to furloughed civilian employees BY PAUL BELLO JOINT BASE ANACOSTIABOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON - Crisis counseling has gone up approximately 60 percent at Joint Base AnacostiaBolling (JBAB) recently, according to officials. Air Force Chaplain (Maj.) Robin Stephenson-Bratcher, one of JBAB’s chaplains, said the increase is furlough and sequestration related. Accordingly, JBAB chaplains have recently undertaken advanced interactive training and are ready to assist Department of Defense (DoD) civilians affected by the furlough. (See related story in this edition of Joint Base Journal) Besides talking to a base chaplain, another potential resource is the Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This offers a variety of services to civilians, as well as their families. Counselors with the program also provide crisis intervention and help employees deal with a multitude of problems, such as emotional, relationship, family, alcohol, drug, financial and job concerns. Department of Defense (DoD) civilians complement their mili-

Navy Chaplain (Cmdr.) Wes Sloat, shares an update regarding resources available to furloughed DOD civilians, including the Federal Employee Education Assistance (FEEA) program, suicide prevention hotline and financial counseling help with Freddy Edison, an office manager at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling’s Religious Services department, now that DOD civilians have gotten their first paycheck which reflects a 20 percent pay cut. Bolling (JBAB), supporting civilian personnel is just as important as helping a service member. When concerned about the
emotional health of a civilian coworker, health studies over the years have shown it’s best to sit down with that person and discuss
the situation. This provides an opportunity to express one’s job related concerns and offer help to the individual.
Federal Employee Education Assistance Fund provides emergency furlough assistance BY LEA JOHNSON SPECIAL TO JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING
The following article was originally published in the June 28 edition of Joint Base Journal. WASHINGTON-Civilians have been planning for the upcoming furlough for much of 2013; however, even with all the preparation leading up to the week of July 8, some civilians may find they need a little help to stay above the financial undertow. Enter the Federal Employee Education and Assistance Fund (FEEA). According to Robyn Kehoe, director of
field operations, FEEA was created in 1986 and is modeled to work like the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society and Air Force Aid Society by providing emergency assistance in the form of loans, grants and scholarships to civilian federal employees and their families. “Loans are available to someone who is having financial hardship through no fault of their own,” Kehoe said. Civilians impacted by the furlough may be eligible for an emergency loan up to $1,000 through FEEA if they have been a federal employee for at least one year and demonstrate a basic living need, such as assistance paying rent or utilities.
“The advantage of these loans is that they are no interest. Civilians pay back the loan through an allotment a little at a time,” Kehoe said. “We are geared toward this population and all the money that gets paid back then goes back to help another federal family.” Provided all required documents are submitted with the loan application, civilians should receive their check within a week. Kehoe said checks are made out to a creditor, a landlord or leasing agent for example, and loans are not granted to assist with paying credit card bills or other similar personal debt. Additionally, Kehoe added, “Employees
INSIDE
cannot apply until they receive a short paycheck. We won’t accept any applications filled out in anticipation of the furlough.” Assistance from FEEA is available any time, not just during this government furlough. FEEA is funded largely through donations, including contributions from the Combined Federal Campaign. “We have contributed $20 million in aid to federal civilians and their families,” Kehoe said. “We are proud of that and we are proud to serve the men and women who serve our country, even though they’re not in uniform.” For more information or to fill out an application, visit feea.org.

STEM summer camp draws students, parents BY JOHN J. JOYCE NSWC DAHLGREN DIVISION CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS
Parents listened intently as Navy and Virginia Demonstration Project (VDP) leaders spoke about the annual week-long VDP summer academy and its potential to transform their children’s outlook on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and positively impact students’ academic and career decisions. The VDP STEM summer camp, sponsored by the National Defense Education Program (NDEP) held Parent Day on June 26 and allowed students participants to wow their parents. Parents watched in amazement as their children - among 95 middle school students - used STEM skills to solve problems of Navy interest at the camp held June 24-28. The students joined their mentors - 19 Navy scientists and engineers and 19 middle school teachers - to work in teams on STEM summer camp activities and projects impacting simulated naval robotic missions. “This year the students displayed excitement and were engaged in all of the STEM events,” said Jane
Bachman, VDP STEM Dahlgren Academy Director. “It was our first year at King George Middle School (KGMS) and our first year hosting a “Parent Day” for parents to see first-hand what their child is experiencing during the STEM focus week.” In addition to Dahlgren School, the participating middle schools included Fredericksburg City, King George, Spotsylvania and Stafford school districts. “Students worked hard on their STEM activities and excitement filled the air,” said Bachman. “Watching the team collaboration among the students is inspiring as they not only help their team members but other teams as well. Our junior mentors have been working hard and expanding their leadership skills.” Navy officials - including Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) Commander Capt. Michael Smith - anticipate the students may one day use their STEM skills at Naval Warfare Center laboratories to design future technologies supporting U.S. warfighters and America’s homeland defense and security. The NDEP VDP goal is to

increase the attraction of the Navy’s Warfare Centers and Shipyards as an eventual place of employment for students participating in the program. “STEM career information is packed into one week,” said Bachman, an NSWCDD lead scientist. “The goal of the academy is to provide middle school students with a variety of STEM activities as they interact with our Dahlgren scientists and engineers and STEM focused middle school teachers.” The program teams up teachers with practicing scientists and engineers from the mentor-rich environment at the Naval Warfare Centers. During the school year, science and math themes featuring robotics problems are integrated throughout the curriculum. Moreover, the College of William and Mary impacted VDP and the summer camp by developing a curriculum for students who learn about STEM at military bases and providing training to Navy Warfare Center mentors. NDEP’s VDP process is more than students learning how to program robots or build, assemble and demonstrate the projects. It’s also about team building

NDEP VDP originated under the Office of Naval Research N-STAR (Naval Research - Science and
Technology for America’s Readiness), a science and technology workforce development program launched in 2004 by the Office of Na-
val Research. It was initiated to show a diversity of preteens and teens that math, science and engineering are fascinating, fun and socially relevant. Since its inception, VDP’s ultimate goal has been to establish educational outreach programs at other Navy research and development centers throughout the country. The initiative could eventually expand beyond the Navy and evolve into a national demonstration project encompassing all Department of Defense laboratories in a sustained effort to secure the long-term competitiveness of America’s science and technology workforce by hooking more kids on math and science at an earlier age. As a result, the number of students earning university degrees in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology is expected to exponentially increase. “On behalf of the VDP STEM Dahlgren Academy Planning Team, we thank all of the students, parents, VIPs, mentors, behind-the-scene workers and KGMS for their participation and encouragement in our STEM program as we highlight STEM careers,” said Bachman.
Resident Energy Conservation Program ‘mock’ billing to begin throughout Naval District Washington

NAVAL DISTRICT WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON – The Air Force 579th Medical Group is offering school and sports physicals at Joint Base AnacostiaBolling (JBAB) to eligible youth, beginning July 23. The medical exams are being offered during the afternoons of July 23; Aug. 6 and Aug. 20, according to Group Practice Manager, Air Force Capt. Andrew Inselmann. “For many schools and youth activities, a health physical is the first assignment,” Inselmann stated. Inselmann stated that personnel receiving the exams need to remember to bring the school’s or team’s required and other appropriate medical and participation forms; immunization records; and any corrective eye wear the youth may need during the exam. He recommends that personnel undergoing the exam wear loose fitting clothes. If a school district requires a skin PPD (tuberculosis) test, the student must allot enough time in his/her schedule in order to return 48 hours after the exam to allow a healthcare provider to interpret the results of the PPD test. To make an appointment or for more information, call 888-999-1212 or make an appointment online at www.tricareonline. com or www.relayhealth.com.
WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Accountability for electrical consumption to each resident of Navy Public Private Venture (PPV) housing will soon be the responsibility of residents and mock billing for the Resident Energy Conservation Program (RECP) for Naval District Washington will begin July 1. “It’s important to note that you and your family will reap the benefits of the money that is saved by this program,” said Vice Adm. William French, commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC), in a video message to the fleet. “First with the refund from energy savings you and your family create by staying below the average normal usage rate. Second, the vast majority of the RECP cost savings will be reinvested back into the local PPV community to sustain high-quality homes and neighborhood amenities such as playgrounds, facilities and landscaping.” Prior to the commencement of the live billing cycle in October, residents throughout Naval District Washington (NDW) participating in RECP will be provided a threemonth “mock” billing period beginning July 1 to Sept. 30 to allow residents to evaluate
PUBLIC AFFAIRS
their home energy consumption before the program begins. “The mock bills are intended to show your actual electrical consumption and billing costs, and how it compares with other homes in your like-type group,” said Julie Barnes, regional Navy Housing Program manager for NDW. “All billing costs will be based on the same electric rate charged for a particular housing area.” Barnes recommends that residents review their mock bills, compare their monthly usage with the normal usage band, and consider adjusting their consumption habits as needed to minimize personal costs. Additionally, the RECP will have no impact on residents’ Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH). According to CNIC, an allowance for normal utilities is a part of the BAH. BAH includes an allowance for utilities such as electricity, gas or other heating fuels, and water/sewer. The BAH includes the cost of utilities based on averages from residents living in the private sector who are directly responsible for paying for their utilities. The RECP is intended to encourage residents to achieve normal usage and to reward them for conservation beyond normal expectations. Residents who conserve and stay within the normal range will incur no out-of-pocket utility expenses. CNIC recommends that those who wish
to conserve make easy changes around the house. Simple adjustments to home thermostats to minimize heating and cooling, and wise use of hot water, lighting and appliances can also contribute significantly to energy savings. In cases where utility consumption is high, residents can also request that their property manager perform an energy audit to identify energy saving strategies specific to their home. Residents are also reminded to keep up with any fees incurred through over-usage. Those with a past due account will receive delinquency notice letters and a late fee. Extreme delinquencies can result in a notice to vacate housing and can potentially affect a resident’s credit. The PPV partnership will work with residents to arrange payment plans if help is needed making payments. NDW residents can expect mock billing to begin July 1 with the first mock statement being mailed August 15. Residents will not be financially responsible for utility usage during this period. The actual billing period begins Oct. 1, and the first ‘live’ bill will be mailed Nov. 14. Residents will be expected to pay for their usage above the ‘normal usage’ band or will be eligible to receive a rebate if their usage is below the band.

Chaplains embrace hands-on approach to suicide intervention BY PAUL BELLO JOINT BASE ANACOSTIABOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON – There are no easy answers when discussing suicide. It leaves friends, family and loved ones emotionally devastated. In recent years, suicide among all branches of the U.S. military has grown at an alarming rate. With government furloughs hitting the home front, there’s a concerted effort by leaders to reach out to DOD civilians in need of help or some type of counseling. Chaplains at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) and other Naval District Washington (NDW) installations have been proactive to ensure that they are properly trained and able to respond to any crisis situation. NDW has partnered with a public service corporation that focuses on understanding and preventing suicide. Since 1983, more than one million community participants have been trained in suicide intervention through the program, named Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST). Navy Chaplain (Capt.) Gary Clore, regional chaplain for NDW, has been involved with ASIST for close to two years. He said it offers a comprehensive, handson approach that considers the type of individual at risk, as well as that person’s surrounding environment. By taking all that into consideration, he believes it’s the best possible of way of reaching out to someone who needs help.

Navy Chaplain (Capt.) Gary Clore, regional chaplain for Naval District Washington; Navy Chaplain (Cmdr.) Wesley Sloat, command chaplain Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling and Air Force Chaplain (Maj.) Robin Stephenson-Bratcher, of Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling’s Chapel Center, have all participated in the program ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training). “ASIST workshops are designed for caregivers, like chaplains, social workers and other professionals, who want to feel more comfortable and confident in preventing the immediate risk of suicide,” Clore said. “The program has a lot rooted in moral values. It’s a great model of getting caregivers, or gate keepers as we call them, the training they need to act accordingly.” Clore likens ASIST to cardiopulmonary resusci-
tation (CPR), adding that it’s “training to pull people out of the river and back to shore.” There’s also an intensified effort for military organizations to partner with one another when it comes to preventative measures. Commander, Naval Installations Command (CNIC) is currently engaging to make programs like ASIST worldwide, Clore said. “Life is sacred – and so is confidentiality. That’s something we can’t stress enough
when someone comes to us for guidance,” Clore said. “People must trust us completely in order for this process to work. It doesn’t work any other way.” Navy Chaplain (Cmdr.) Wesley Sloat, JBAB’s senior chaplain, started with ASIST as a recent student. He is now one of 10 trainers within NDW. According to him, while the military has talked about suicide prevention for decades, it’s never been discussed or presented in a
manner quite this way. “This program is systematic and easy to follow. One day you practice being the person at risk. The next day you’re the one providing assistance. It’s much more interactive than any training I’ve had before,” Sloat said. “The program stresses identifiers to watch out for. This can be difficult because not everyone is in the same place in life. That’s why active listening is taught and why it’s such an important
part of the process.” Under the ASIST model, Sloat said there are three phases that a caregiver or “gate keeper” learns about in order to bring people assistance. They are to connect, understand and assist. When connecting, an individual is trained to ask questions about why someone is contemplating suicide. It’s then important to listen and understand the reasons that person has for living. The final phase of assisting allows a caregiver to develop a safe plan with someone and then follow up on those commitments. While this happens, you let an individual come to his or her own conclusions, Sloat said. “I used the ASIST model when a Navy Sailor came to me for help about a year ago. He had a plethora of issues, but I was able to determine that his girlfriend was not the problem,” Sloat added. “She was a clear positive sign in his life. He then realized that relationship was all too important and something to build on. We got him help and he’s doing great now.” Air Force Chaplain (Maj.) Robin Stephenson-Bratcher, who works with Sloat at JBAB, has been involved with programs like ASIST throughout her military career. She would like to see it utilized more across all its platforms. In light of furloughs and government sequestration, Bratcher said counseling has gone up approximately 60 percent on JBAB the past year.

Direct bus or ferry service to Joint Base, plus $245 month to you? It may be possible! BY JOSEPH P CIRONE
JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON – Direct bus or ferry service to Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) from Prince William, Fairfax, Prince George’s, Charles counties or other areas may be a possibility for the future. For more than a year, JBAB Commander, Navy Capt. Anthony T. Calandra, has been supporting initiatives that would result in viable public transportation options to and from JBAB. Calandra envisions reliable and fairly priced commuter bus and ferry service, eligible for DOD’s public transportation incentive program, which provides up to $245 per month to personnel as a non-taxable benefit, to subsidize their local commute to and from work. In addition, base residents and visitors would also benefit from use of the transportation options, although not be eligible for the transit subsidy. The bus and ferry options being considered include comfortable seating on highspeed catamaran style ferries, offering free Wi-Fi and a snack bar, and luxury coach
busses, both with direct passenger service to JBAB. The ferry service may initially operate from Woodbridge or Alexandria, Va., or both, according to Marc Oliphant, Naval District Washington’s regional employee transportation coordinator. “Traveling along the river would offer incredible travel time reliability because there’s never a traffic jam out there,” he said. Ferry expansion to other pickup locations in Virginia and Maryland in the future is also possible, according to officials. Depending on commuter interest and demand, commuter bus service may initially include multiple locations in both Virginia and Maryland to JBAB, the officials stated. JBAB Public Works (DPW) and Naval Facilities and Engineering Command Washington (NAVFAC Washington) community planners are working jointly to attract transit providers interested in exploring the possibilities. To gauge the interest of personnel who commute to, live on or visit JBAB or the nearby Department of Homeland Security (DHS) U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, which will be occupied later this year, a short survey is available online until the end of July. The survey, being conducted by the
Northern Virginia Regional Commission (NVRC), a political subdivision (government agency) and a regional council of fourteen member local governments in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington DC., has more than 60 years of experience providing information, professional and technical services to its members, to serve as a mechanism for regional coordination. Its staff includes experts in research, demography, civil engineering, planning and human services. “So we can get a realistic dataset, it is very important that as many people as possible who may benefit from direct public transportation to and from JBAB complete the survey,” Calandra emphasized. The survey, which takes about ten minutes to complete, is found at: http://survey. wbanda.com//cfmc/nvrc/j13430c/index. php. Calandra, DPW and JBAB’s Community Relations personnel have also been working with community leaders, governmental leaders and planners in the District of Columbia to increase public transportation to and from JBAB. Initiatives include easing access from the nearby MetroRail station at Anacostia, via the district’s Street Car project, which is
scheduled to begin passenger service in the next year. Another objective being worked on by the team is having MetroBus service come onto the base as soon as possible, making it even more convenient for personnel who live, work or visit JBAB to take public transportation and have the ability to enjoy lunch, dinner or shop in the Ward 8 community, of which JBAB is a part of, and those retail, fitness, recreational, cultural and other opportunities that are being established in Congress Heights, Anacostia and near the future DHS site, visible from JBAB, as well as have a link with the MetroRail station. “Being good neighbors; good stewards of our environment and lowering the stress levels for all who commute to work each day are all among the many reasons we are seriously committed to increasing public transportation; use of car, van and bus pools; bicycle transportation and reducing traffic on the area’s roadways,” Calandra affirmed. “We know the community; its leaders and the elected leaders in the District, as a whole, share our resolve and are doing what they can to support our common goals,” Calandra concluded.

WASHINGTON – The second week long summer camp for youth wrapped up earlier this week on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB). The summer camp, conducted by the Naval Support Activity Washington (NSAW), began July 15. The camp utilizes the Navy’s Drug Education for Youth (DEFY) program. Children of military members, civilian employees and contractors ages 9-12 attended the eight-day camp, which included discussions about drug resistance, bullying and peer pressure. Camp members also engaged in numerous activities, while also being treated to a demonstration by the
U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard, a trip to the National Zoo, and a tour of the display ship USS Barry (DD-933) at the Washington Navy Yard. Machinist Mate 1st Class Jason Simmons, one of the NSAW DEFY coordinators for this year’s camp, has been with the program for three years. When he first started, the summer camp only drew 13 children. This year, more than 30 signed up to participate. “We use our time at camp to teach kids about making good decisions in life and respecting one another,” Simmons said. “The activities and places we go also keep them interested. It’s a learning experience, but a lot of fun at the same time.” The program begins with the summer camp and continues throughout the year with monthly meetings that ultimately culminate in a graduation for attendees.

Station Washington: Protecting the nation’s capital BY PETTY OFFICER 3RD CLASS LISA FERDINAND COAST GUARD STATION WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON - As the summer sun sets over Washington, D.C., the sky turns a spectacular golden hue as members of Coast Guard Station Washington head out for another mission. From ensuring public safety and security on the water along the country’s most iconic landmarks to multi-agency national security and law enforcement missions, a “typical day” at Station Washington is anything but typical. While Washington is a seasonal boating area, the commanding officer of the station, Lt. Celina Ladyga, says the crew stays busy all year with operations and special national security events like the presidential inauguration and State of the Union address. “It’s really quite a wide breadth of Coast Guard missions that we do here,” Ladyga said. Station Washington was established after Sept. 11, she said, and its primary responsibility is homeland security. “We do a heavy amount of protection of maritime critical infrastructure, but we also do all of the traditional Coast Guard missions, such as search and rescue and public boater outreach,” she said. Station members were active in National Safe Boating Week in May, meeting with local boaters and reminding them of the important tips for staying safe on the water, including wearing a life vest, filing a float plan

During another weekend, Station Washington crews conducted patrols for Operation Dry Water, a national crackdown on boaters operating vessels under the influence. National Safe Boating Week and Operation Dry Water are both multi-agency efforts aimed at keeping the American public safe on the water. Ladyga said maintaining relationships with local, state and federal partners is important, especially with overlapping jurisdictions or complex cases. “The multi-agency connection and partnerships are very critical in this area,” she said. “Ultimately everybody has the same goal – to ensure the safety and security of the American public.” Ladyga also shared advice for boaters who are heading out on the Potomac River and other waterways around the nation’s capital.

9-digit ZIP codes mandatory for Gold Star program implemented mobile Fleet Post Office addresses at installations, commissaries BY DEBBIE DORTCH NAVSUP CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS
MECHANICSBURG, Pa. (NNS) -- Effective immediately, family, friends, and businesses sending mail to Navy mobile units must use a nine-digit ZIP code to ensure delivery, according to an ALNAV message released July 12 by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus. Mail not addressed correctly, including mail already en route, will be returned to the sender as undeliverable. “Every mobile unit - ships, squadrons, detachments, et cetera - has a unique ninedigit ZIP code,” said Naval Supply Systems Command Postal Policy Division Director Thomas Rittle. “Commanding officers will provide the correct ZIP codes to Sailors so they can notify their correspondents about the new address requirement.”
According to the message, “The United States Postal Service (USPS) is resizing military mail processing operations from two coastal locations to one located in Chicago, Ill. to gain efficiencies in military mail delivery. As part of this effort, new procedures affecting configuration of mobile Fleet Post Office (FPO) addresses have been implemented to completely leverage automated mail sorting equipment and reduce manual sorting workload.” USPS automated equipment is set up to read the nine-digit ZIP code separated with a dash between the first five digits and the last four digits. The nine-digit ZIP code is required for all classes of mail. The ALNAV message is available at http://www.public.navy.mil/bupersnpc/reference/messages/Documents/ALNAVS/ALN2013/ALN13047.txt.

WASHINGTON - As of June 30, all Navy installations, including Joint Base Anacostia Bolling, have reserved parking spots in front of the Commissary, Exchange, the Medical Clinic and the Warfighter and Family Readiness buildings for families of fallen service members. The reserved parking spots are part of a program called the Gold Star Family program, which provides family members of fallen active duty military members easy and unescorted access to Navy installations, commissaries, and other base support services. Family members can also attend on-base events and ceremonies without having to arrange for an escort. The Gold Star name comes from a tra-
dition started during World War I, when families hung gold stars in their windows to honor a child killed in military service to the nation. In 1928, twenty-five mothers met in Washington D.C. to establish the Gold Star Mothers organization. In 1967 Congress standardized the service banners and established a program to issue Gold Star lapel pins to all immediate family members of service members killed in combat, or who died in a theater of war. Some details regarding the issuance of Gold Star base access cards are still being finalized, however, if a family member has received a Gold Star lapel pin, he or she will be eligible to receive a base access card and use the Gold Star parking on base. Family members of fallen service members can contact the Department of the Navy Casualty Assistance Calls Officer program, in order to register for the program, if needed.

Navy Gateway Inns and Suites partners with commercial hotels to save travel dollars WASHINGTON (Navy News Service) -- The Navy’s primary lodging facilities for travelers on official orders (also available to Department of Defense (DoD) travelers), Navy Gateway Inns & Suites (NGIS), is expanding lodging opportunities. NGIS is partnering with commercial hotels in close proximity to Navy installations to accommodate guests when on base DoD government lodging is at full occupancy. Currently, DoD travelers on official orders to an installation may encounter an NGIS with no lodging availability. Travelers are then required to locate a local commercial hotel on their own after receiving a Certificate of Non-Availability (CNA). NGIS is taking on that responsibility for the traveler. In certain markets, this can be quite a challenge. First, the traveler must find a commercial property within a short commute to the base with a rate of per diem or lower, and most importantly; safe to reside in during their temporary duty. The Navy Lodging Program has seen the hurdles travelers face and has implemented a solution by partnering with commercial hotels.
“Our priority is to maximize on-base DoD government lodging and then also to provide safe, secure hotels that meet our DoD traveler requirements by establishing relationships with commercial hotel partners in close proximity of the Navy base,” said Tamara Davis, Navy Lodging Program manager. Travelers do not have to worry about finding lodging on their own in an area they are not familiar with, or being placed in a hotel that is less than desirable, that’s what the Navy Lodging Program mission is - to take care of our travelers whether they’re staying on base or off base.” The Navy Commercial Lodging Program’s hotel partners must meet established criteria. This criterion involves passing an annual inspection to ensure the property meets DOD Lodging Standards and DoD Fire, Safety and Health criteria, with contracted room rates at per diem or lower, and be within a 30 minute commute for the traveler. Prior to a TDY traveler receiving a CNA for commercial lodging the following steps will be followed: (1) Check availability at
NGIS (On base lodging); (2) if no availability at NGIS, Navy Lodge will be contacted; (3) if no availability at Navy Lodge and there is no commercial lodging program, the traveler will receive a CNA requiring the traveler to locate a hotel within per diem. The Navy Commercial Lodging Program introduces multiple benefits for travelers: convenience, safety, travel savings and mission accomplishment. This program has proven very successful in markets such as Guam; Washington, D.C.; Bethesda, Md.; Fort Worth, Texas; Jacksonville and Mayport, Fla.; Seal Beach and San Diego, Calif. As the Navy Commercial Lodging Program continues to expand to new markets/locations, travelers will be assured of lodging accommodations to meet their travel needs with one phone call to 1-877-NAVY-BED. NGIS Commercial Lodging Partnership Program also generates revenue which supports the NGIS lodging programs at headquarters and at the installation. For NGIS reservations and locations, visit http://ngis.dodlodging.net/.

Tough choices ahead for Army Family programs BY J.D. LEIPOLD ARMY NEWS SERVICE
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. - Speaking before 500 service spouses and educators, July 8, the Army’s vice chief of staff didn’t pull any punches about the negative impact continued sequestration could have on military programs for children. During a presentation at the Military Child Education Coalition’s 15th national training seminar, Vice Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. John F. Campbell made clear that fiscal woes facing the country and the Army as it transitions out of Afghanistan and changes into a leaner force structure will also mean leaner funding for programs. “I used to say that everything in Afghanistan was hard, but this is really hard and has to do with sequestration; it has to do with budget; it has to do with downsizing,” Campbell said. The general said that what is happening now is not new, however. He pointed out that the conclusion of every major conflict has also involved a downsizing of military forces.
01040295
Two weeks ago the Army announced just such a cut. The number of active brigade combat teams, known as BCTs, in the Army will be reduced from 45 to 33. Army leaders also said at the time they expected to eventually name an additional brigade to be eliminated. It’s expected that eventually a total of 13 BCTs would be eliminated — many Soldiers in those brigades would move into other brigades. Those moves are in response to force cuts put forth in the Budget Control Act of 2011. That act mandated an Army reduction in end strength of 80,000 Soldiers. That reduction will reduce the force to 490,000 Soldiers by 2017. The reduction does not take into consideration any additional cuts that might need to be made as a result of sequestration. Campbell said that if sequestration continues, the Army would have to continue downsizing — possibly by an additional 100,000 Soldiers from the active, Army National Guard and Army Reserve forces. “[Secretary of the Army John M. McHugh and Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Ray

Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. John F. Campbell told attendees at the Military Child Education Coalition’s 15th national training seminar July 8 that the Army would be facing tough choices on what Family programs would remain following sequestration. Odierno] are committed to making sure that the critical Family programs, and the programs that have the most impact on our children will continue to be funded at the levels they are now,” Campbell said. Campbell also said the Army’s chief of staff is determined to keep the school liaison officers program at
the same funding levels currently in effect, though the Army doesn’t yet know if its fiscal year 2014 budget request will be fully funded. Campbell said the Army’s goal is to make sure programs that “benefit our children most, and that give us the biggest bang for the buck” are able to continue. “But we shouldn’t fool
ourselves,” he said. “It’s not going to be the way it was the last 10 years — our nation cannot afford it.” The vice chief also explained that money for many Army programs came as part of funding tied to fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — funding known as the “overseas contingency operations,”
or OCO, budget. Now that the Army is out of Iraq, and moving ahead with pulling out of Afghanistan, OCO funding for those conflicts will diminish. “We had different programs that came on board because we could, and in most cases it was for the right reasons,” Campbell said. “What we’re doing now is taking a look at all these programs and making sure we’re not redundant where we don’t have to be.” Campbell said the Army would try to do the best it could with the budget it gets. “The bottom line is, the programs that we have we’re taking a very hard look at and making sure we pick the right programs that impact the most people — but that will be different at each post, camp or station,” he said. “So we’re going to power down and depend upon the senior mission and division commanders to provide us that input.” Campbell said audience members, upon returning to their home stations, could serve as advocates to their commanders for programs that work, and could also draw attention to those programs that do not work.
