Maryland senator: Getting involved the most important thing women can do BY TAMARA CALANDRA
SPECIAL TO JOINT BASE JOURNAL

Sen. Katherine Klausmeier, a state legislator from Maryland, was the guest speaker during a Women’s Equality Day luncheon at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Aug. 22.
WASHINGTON - A Maryland state senator told attendees at Joint Base Anacostia Bolling’s (JBAB) Women’s Equality Day luncheon that getting involved is the most important thing women can do. Sen. Katherine Klausmeier, a legislator in Maryland since 1995, said her involvement in public matters started 25 years ago, joining the local ParentTeacher Association (PTA). She quickly became the president of the organization at a time when a new school was desperately needed. As PTA president, she had the opportunity to address the Board of Education and help justify the need for the new school “I was nervous and did not want to do it,” she reflected. “I thought I signed up to sell fundraising gift wrap.” Regardless, she did do it – and was successful in getting the new school, as well as several more new schools that followed.
“I was able to pull everyone together to work as a team,” she said. “I felt really good about that.” That success and involvement lead to further endeavors. In the early 1990s, she served as vice president for the Commission for Women in Baltimore County, where she focused on issues such as domestic violence and the Family and Medical Leave Act. She described her involvement as a “domino effect,” resulting in her election to the House of Delegates in 1995. “Politics were completely new to me, Klausmeier said. “Twenty five years ago I hardly knew who our President was.” Klausmeier said she worked hard, knocking on doors, raising funds and campaigning for issues that she believed were important. “You just go out there and do what you need to do,” she emphasized. Klausmeier pointed out that women have had the right to vote for less than 100 years, and she is planning a celebration to commemorate the centennial anniversary in 2020.
Although women have come a long way, Klausmeier said they have further to go. She acknowledged she is often treated different than her male colleagues. “Sometimes you just have to keep fighting for what you believe in,” she said. The luncheon’s audience gained insight into what others before them believed in; hearing about the history of equality for women. Women’s Equality Day celebrates and recognizes the struggle for women’s rights, which dates back to 1777 when females lost the right to vote in New York. In 1848, leaders such as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Staton organized and convened the first Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, NY. Anthony was arrested with some of her supporters for trying to vote and was held on a $1,000 bond. The judge

Air Force announces PT test enhancements to start Oct. 1 BY STAFF SGT. DAVID SALINITRI SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE PUBLIC AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Air Force senior leadership announced enhancements to the Air Force’s Physical Fitness Assessment program, to be implemented Oct. 1. In a letter to Airmen Aug. 20, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III explained the results of the comprehensive review, highlighting the strength of the program and the need for slight improvements. “We have a tremendous program that has fundamentally changed the Air Force’s overall fitness level over the past few years,” Welsh said. “The PFT itself is not going to change. But even the best program can be improved upon, so we are making changes in four different areas to enhance the overall program.”
Of the changes coming Oct. 1, the most significant is to the abdominal circumference portion of the test. The AC assesses an Airman’s body composition. Since the Air Force implemented the newest fitness program guidelines in October 2010, only .03 percent of Airmen have failed the AC portion of the test and passed the other three components with a composite score of 75 or higher. “In the future, if an Airman fails the AC portion of the test, and passes each of the other three components, we’ll measure that Airman using the Body Mass Index taping guidance in DoD instructions,” Welsh said. “If the Airman meets the DoD BMI standard, they pass the PFT.” Because AC measurement is integrated into the testing procedure, the Air Force is currently the only branch of the Department of Defense not required to have a separate

wing commanders, adjusting passing standards for Airmen who can only test on one component of assessment, and changing and simplifying the walk test. In addition to these efforts, senior leaders are reviewing how fitness performance is documented on performance reports as part of a larger effort to examine the performance report itself. Those results are expected in the near future. Though senior leaders are looking to improve the current fitness program, Welsh said he is proud of the Air Force program, and the physically fit culture it has helped to cultivate. “I believe we have DoD’s best designed, best run fitness program, and as a result, we have a force ready for any mission our nation asks us to execute,” he said. “I’m extremely proud of how far we’ve come with our fitness culture.”

Air Force offers potential model for future MWR programs BY DONNA MILES AMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE
WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- For a glimpse into how the military services might provide quality morale, welfare and recreation services and programs despite continuing budget pressures, the transformation program the Air Force Services directorate has been rolling out for the past two and a half years is worth a look. Each service administers its own quality-of-life programs, and the offerings vary widely -- even within a service’s installations, depending on the location, the size and demographic of the population served, said Ed Miles, the Department of Defense MWR policy director. So even as the entire military suffers the effects of budget cuts and sequestration, each service is looking for new efficiencies and innovations to minimize reductions to their programs and services. In some cases, as demonstrated by the Air Force’s services transformation initiative, it’s actually improving the quality and accessibility of MWR -- despite cuts in both the appropriated funding and staffing required to provide quality-of-life programs. The effort began with an extensive review of existing programs and services and an assessment of which most directly affect readiness in the event that all can’t be fully funded, said Col. Thomas Joyce, the services director at the Air Force Personnel Center in San Antonio, Texas. Based on those findings, senior Air Force leaders designated six core activities: fitness, appropriated-fund dining facilities, child and youth care, youth activities, outdoor recreation programs, and libraries, he said. “We have identified core programs that, if we only have ‘X’ amount of money, these are the ‘must-haves’ from an enterprise standpoint in terms of their contribution to readiness and developing and sustaining resilient Airmen and families,” Joyce said. Meanwhile, Air Force officials unveiled several pilot programs to

One, now offered at six Air Force bases, enables Airmen, their families and civilian employees to visit their base fitness center at their convenience, even after the paid staff has left for the day. By swiping their common access card at the front entrance, they can work out 24/7, unaffected by reduced manning that has affected many fitness centers, said Michael Bensen, the deputy services director. The experiment, introduced in March, has proven itself a winner at Joint Base Andrews, Md.; F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo.; Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark.; Scott Air Force Base, Ill.; Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash.; and Tinker Air Force Base, Okla. Less than halfway through what was planned as a year-long pilot program, Air Force officials already have asked
for Defense Department approval to expand it servicewide. Another initiative, moving forward at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, bundles many of the services activities under one roof. The new Eielson City Center opened in late March in a former base exchange complex, now includes a community center, golf simulator, television lounge, snack bar, pool tables, air hockey and foosball tables, library, movies, exercise equipment and a kids’ playland. The arrangement makes it convenient for Airmen and their families to relax and unwind, particularly during the long Alaskan winters. At the same time, it enabled base officials to consolidate many the administrative and logistical functions required to run the programs and activities. The Air Force is considering expanding this “community commons concept” for more testing
Phase 1 construction begins at 79th MDG on Joint Base Andrews BY MELANIE MOORE AND ROBERT GRAHAM 79TH MEDICAL WING
JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. -- The Family Health and Pediatric Clinics will relocate to the Temporary Medical Buildings on the south end of the Malcolm Grow Medical Clinic and Surgery Center campus Sept. 3, as Phase 1 of the military construction project begins at Joint Base Andrews, Md. These modular trailers are located near the intersection of West Perimeter and Boston Roads. Most patient parking will also relocate to the current staff parking lot near the Temporary Medical Buildings. A large portion of the patient parking located near the main
entrance of MGMCSC will be closed due to construction activities. Phase 1 also includes the relocation of the 779th Medical Group Education and Training Office to the second floor of the MGMCSC, B-wing. This phase of military construction is anticipated to continue through 2014. The construction project involves multiple phases, and these clinics are expected to operate in the Temporary Medical Buildings well into 2015. Patients may contact the appointment line at (888) 999-1212 to confirm their appointment location. In addition, clinic signage, electronic kiosks, the medical wing’s website located at www.79MDW.af.mil and staff members in the clinic will help to direct patients during the construction.
and possible servicewide use, Bensen reported. “If you think about it, this is how a town parks and recreation program operates. It gives you synergies from a programming perspective,” he said. One of the challenges of quality-of-life programs, Joyce said, is recognizing when to eliminate an existing service or program. In some cases, the Air Force has found value in partnering with municipalities and private companies outside their gates to provide what the military no longer can. In one successful example, officials at Joint Base Andrews have teamed with the commercial outdoor recreation company REI to provide rappelling, kayaking and other recreational programs and instruction. Base participants get discounts, and the Air Force saves the costs of running its own programs, Bensen noted.
“You get a quality experience at a reduced cost,” he said. One of the most popular initiatives being rolled out by Air Force Services targets appropriated-fund dining facilities. Recognizing that Airmen with meal cards typically were eating just one meal a day at their dining facilities, Air Force officials set out to win them back. The Air Force Personnel Center funded a new food transformation initiative at five bases, hiring commercial food service providers to make their appropriated-fund dining facilities more like commercial restaurants. Airmen with food service specialties now get to work directly with private-sector professionals, delivering higher-quality services at a lower cost. As a result, Airmen are eating twice as many meals at their dining facilities, and their civilian counterparts on base are joining them, Bensen reported. And when Airmen at the participating bases aren’t close to their dining facilities at mealtime or simply want a change of pace, they can use their common access cards to dine at the base club, bowling alley or other food-service activity. With rave reviews since the initiative kicked off in October 2010, officials are moving forward with five additional pilot bases, Bensen said. Bensen was quick to acknowledge that what works at one installation might not work everywhere. “Every installation has different dynamics, so in all these initiatives, we can’t take a cookie-cutter approach,” he said. But all installations, Joyce said, share the common goal of mission readiness. “Ultimately, the services transformation initiative is about building and sustaining resilient airmen and families,” he said. “As we transform our programs, we always have in the back of our minds what we are here for: food services, fitness and family so we can build and sustain resilient Airmen and their families across the Air Force who carry out their jobs in support of the mission, day-in and day-out.”

Celebrating women’s history of equality in the Navy BY CHIEF JESSICA MYERS OFFICE OF WOMEN’S POLICY
WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Commands are encouraged to celebrate women’s history of equality in the Navy during Women’s Equality Day Aug. 26, as announced by Naval Administrative Message 209/13. This annual observance celebrates the contributions women have made throughout history working toward full equality in the United States. Women’s Equality Day was established by Congress in 1971 to commemorate the long struggle of generations of women to gain the right to vote. According to the National Women’s History Project, while originally created to commemorate the passing of the 19th Amendment, the observance today recognizes the anniversary of women’s suffrage and of the continued efforts toward equality. When the United States was founded, female citizens were denied basic rights as compared to the nation’s male citizens. Married women could not own property, women had no legal claim to any money they might earn, and women did not have the right to vote. It was not until 1848 that the movement for women’s rights was launched on a national level with a convention in Seneca Falls, New York. Before narrowing their political focus to women’s rights, abolitionists Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, known as “suffragists,” along with Susan B. Anthony and other activists, formed organizations that raised public awareness and lobbied the government to grant voting rights to women. Fighting for the right to vote became a centerpiece of the women’s rights movement. Women’s official role in the Navy began in 1908, with the establishment of the Navy Nurse Corps. During World War I, the Naval Reserve Act of 1916 allowed for enlistment of qualified “persons.” A year later, the Navy authorized the enlistment of women, designated as “Yeoman (F),” unofficially known as “Yeomanettes.” Women serving in the Navy as Nurses and Yeomanettes served their nation before they had the right to vote.

The two-day event, themed “Stronger Self, Stronger Service,” offers opportunities for personal and professional development. It was not until 72 years after the suffrage movement began that these groups emerged victorious with the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution on August 18, 1920. On Election Day that same year, more than 8 million women across the United States voted for the first time. Throughout the nation this past March, hundreds of college students and generations of women celebrated the centennial of the original Women’s Suffrage Procession in Washington, D.C., March 3, 1913. Women who sought the right to vote dressed in Greek-style costumes or academic robes with “Votes for Women” sashes proudly displayed. Thousands of women marched from the United States Capitol down Pennsylvania Avenue to the front of the White House, the

day before President Woodrow Wilson’s inauguration. This event pushed women’s suffrage into the national spotlight. This year also marked the 65th Anniversary of the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act, signed June 12, 1948, shortly after the end of World War II. This Act provided women permanent status in the United States Armed Services, although women had been serving unofficially since the American Revolutionary War. Before the establishment of the Continental Navy, numerous women served in the states’ navies, including the galleys of the Pennsylvania Navy and as nurses in the Maryland Navy, laying the foundation for women’s service onboard

The Women’s Suffrage Movement entered the national political arena in 1912 when Theodore Roosevelt ran against Woodrow Wilson with a progressive platform that included Women’s Suffrage. Although he lost the election, on the eve of Wilson’s inauguration, hundreds of females paraded for women’s rights and were attacked and injured by a mob, but no arrests were made.

After years of lobbying states to ratify the amendment, Tennessee became the first state to do so. The 19th Amendment, the Susan B. Anthony Amendment, became law on Aug. 26, 1920. JBAB Commander, Navy Capt. Anthony T. Calandra, shared that “the rights of women today rest on the backs of the brave pioneers of long ago.” “Though women have made great strides and continue to do so each and every day – especially in the military services – females continue to work toward equal treatment in other aspects of life,” Calandra said. “Women today still face many challenges and have more to accomplish. I encourage all to keep moving forward,” he concluded.

The National Museum of the United States Navy, Cold War Gallery and Display Ship Barry as well as the entrance to the Washington Navy Yard through the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail will remain open through the Labor Day holiday.
Riverwalk access to DC Navy Museums open holiday weekend BY NAVAL HISTORY AND HERITAGE COMMAND COMMUNICATION OUTREACH DIVISION WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The National Museum of the United States Navy, Cold War Gallery and Display Ship Barry as well as the entrance to the Washington Navy Yard through the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail will remain open through the Labor Day holiday to ease the flow of holiday foot traffic, said Naval History and Heritage Command officials, Aug. 27. The month-long initiative, that allows visitors to enter the Washington Navy Yard through the Riverwalk and temporarily extends the hours of Display Ship Barry, permitting sightseers to easily view the Navy’s historic exhibits both on and off the yard, started Aug. 1 and will end after Labor Day. Signs placed along the Riverwalk direct visitors to the Washington Navy Yard entrance located at the Taylor Building, housing the Cold War Gallery. All adult visitors are required to present photo identification to enter. The museums and display ship will be open to visitors 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sunday and Labor Day. After Labor Day, the Riverwalk entrance through the Cold War Gallery will be closed until further notice. Located at the Washington Navy Yard, the National Museum of the U.S. Navy displays art and artifacts from the Revolutionary War, Antarctic exploration, World War I and World War II, as well as showcasing submarine and deep-sea innovations. Visitors will enjoy peering through a submarine periscope, learning about underwater exploration and diving, and maneuvering WWIIera artifacts. The Cold War Gallery, opened in October, displays a large submarine section, including a view of living and working conditions, artifacts from Vietnam POWs, displays from the Korean War, as well as an interactive exhibit called the “Lion’s Den.” Display Ship Barry is one of only three remaining Forrest Sherman class destroyers. Barry is the third ship to bear the name of the illustrious Revolutionary War naval hero, Commodore John Barry. She supported the 1958 Marine and Army airborne unit landing in Beirut, Lebanon. In 1962, she was a member of the task force that quarantined Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis in response to evidence that Soviet missiles had been installed on the island. In 1979, Barry joined the Middle East Force for Persian Gulf service during the very tense period that accompanied the Iranian Revolution. In 1981-1982 Barry made her final deployment in that area. USS Barry was decommissioned in 1982 and arrived at the Washington Navy Yard in 1983.
CNO releases navigation plan for 2014-2018 BY MCC(SW/AW) JULIANNE METZGER CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS PUBLIC AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON - Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Jonathan Greenert has released his navigation plan for the Navy for 2014 to 2018 to the fleet. Drawing from the Sailing Directions and the three tenets of Warfighting First, Operate Forward and Be Ready, the navigation plan defines the course and speed the Navy will follow to organize, train and equip over the next several years. Greenert also addresses budgetary concerns about Continuing Resolutions, Sequestration and preparations for the FY2014 budget in the document.
“Our first consideration is the ability to fight and win today, while building the ability to win tomorrow,” Greenert said. “Regardless of reductions, we will continue to operate forward with ready forces, where it matters, when it matters.” Greenert stated that despite future reduction to Navy’s budget that may impact the ability to maintain the overall size of the fleet, the Navy will ensure that the deployable force is proficient and ready. This will include fielding and improving “kill chains,” utilizing the electromagnetic spectrum and maintaining the Navy’s undersea dominance. The document also addresses the rebalance toward the Asia-Pacific region, a strategy that will compel the Navy to add ships to the Forward De-
ployed Naval Force, and increase the number of ships which are Forward Stationed or Forward Operating. “The Navy and Marine Corps are our nation’s ‘away team’,” Greenert said. “History demonstrates the Navy is at its best when we are forward and ready to respond.” Lastly, the Navigation Plan stresses the importance of having Sailors and Civilians that are ready to tackle tomorrow’s challenges by being personally prepared, confident and proficient. “We will sustain our forces’ warfighting capability and ability to operate forward through effective maintenance and timely modernization,” Greenert said. “Ready Sailors and Civilians remain the source of the Navy’s warfighting capability.”

Tobacco Use in Military and Veteran Populations.” Although tobacco use causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung diseases, and even impotence, it can also cause other problems that directly impact warfighters, such as reduced endurance, decreased night vision, hearing loss, decreased wound healing, and increased post-operative complications. Furthermore, DOD officials estimate that tobacco use costs $1.6 billion annually in medical costs and decreases work productivity -- a preventable expense the DOD can ill afford in the current austere fiscal climate, Oh said. Based on DOD survey data, 17 percent of Airmen smoke cigarettes, a figure slightly less than the national average. Nine percent use smokeless tobacco, a number well above the 2 percent national average. “We need to change how tobacco is perceived by Airmen and call it out as the enemy that it is, with adverse impact on health, mission performance,
and the economic sustainability of our warfighting capabilities,” Oh said. A humorous promotional video, contest rules, and additional information can be found at www.health. mil/FightTheEnemy. Winners will be announced in conjunction with the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout. The first prize winner’s video will be featured on the Fight the Enemy website. Winners will receive official recognition and thanks from DOD senior leaders, and all entrants will receive a gift of appreciation. “The Fight the Enemy contest is a fun way for the DOD community to come up an effective message on how we can win the battle against tobacco,” Oh said.. “I know we have some very creative Airmen and family members out there who are up to the challenge.” For more information on how tobacco use affects you and those in your environment, as well as ways to quit tobacco, visit www.ucanquit2.org/.

WOMEN n

Friday, August 30, 2013
continued from 4
ships during the Civil War and the Spanish-American War. As women’s roles in the Navy continued to develop during the latter part of the 20th century, so did their progress toward equality. In 1973, the Navy authorized aviation training for women. It was also this same year that the Supreme Court ruled that inequities in benefits for the dependents of military women were unconstitutional, abolishing pregnancy as a reason for mandatory separation. Before 1973, military women with dependents were not authorized housing, and their dependents were ineligible for the benefits and privileges afforded the dependents of male military members, such as medical, commissary and post exchange. In 1975, Congress authorized admission of women to the military academies. Three years later, women were first assigned to supply and noncombatant ships. Women’s opportunities in the Navy significantly increased in 1993 following the repeal of the combat exclusion law, which allowed officer and enlisted women to serve on combatant ships and in combat aviation. It was also during this same time period that the Navy
01040367
conducted the first feasibility study on women entering submarine community. Seventeen years later, in 2010, Navy announced a policy change allowing female officers to serve on submarines. Earlier this year, the Secretary of Defense and Joint Chiefs of Staff announced immediate rescission of 1994 Direct Ground Combat Definition and Assignment Rule. In accordance with the Secretary’s guidance, Navy developed and submitted a plan to implement the rescission, through which Navy envisions no closed occupations, a very limited number of closed positions, and equal professional opportunity for females in every officer designator and enlisted rating in the Navy. Today, over 67,000 women serve in the Navy in the active and Reserve components, comprising 18 percent of the Total Force. There are currently 38 female flag officers, two female Fleet Master Chiefs, and one female Force Master Chief in the Navy. Additionally, nearly 50,000 women serve across the Navy in a wide range of specialties as civilian employees, with 67 female senior executive service members. All Navy commands are encouraged to reflect on and celebrate the accomplishments of women throughout the armed services during this observance.
