Service members enjoy Defenders of Freedom Appreciation Day STORY & PHOTOS BY MASS COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST 3RD CLASS DION DAWSON JOINT BASE ANACOSTIABOLLING - With more than 5,000 personnel and their family members playing games, riding roller coasters and having fun, Naval District Washington's (NDW) Morale Welfare and Recreation (MWR) program recently held the Defenders of Freedom Appreciation Day for all military and Department of Defense employees at the Six Flags of America theme park. With a concert by legendary southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd for the first 5,000 ticket holders and a reduced rate at the ticket gates, service members really enjoyed the experience and was thankful for the opportunity. "This is my first time ever visiting Six Flags and it was worth the wait," said Seaman Dewaylon Farr, a member of the Navy Ceremonial Guard marching platoon at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling. "MWR always has something for service members and our families. This event was amazing. I got on rides, relaxed and enjoyed every minute of it."

Gary Rossington, founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, expressed the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for the military and looked forward to the audience enjoying the music and taking a little time to forget about daily stressors. "I hope [the audience] gets a lot out of us playing for them. We hope that they just like the music and forget their blues and troubles, and forget war for an hour and a half and just listen." "None of us had to go serve overseas or be on the front lines, so we feel blessed that way," said Rossington. "We try to help anyway we can, we've played for a lot of benefits for them and try to help the wounded warriors. We are just behind our troops, we think the best thing that this country has is the military." According to Lee Bell, MWR regional program manager, MWR wanted to put together a large scale event that impacted a greater number of personnel within the region. His staff worked together with Navy Entertainment, which provides quality live entertainment to military members and their families, to book Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Suicide Prevention Month commentary series COMMENTARY BY CHIEF MASTER SGT. RICHARD SIMONSEN JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING SENIOR ENLISTED LEADER

Part Three: Resilience Bad things happen to all of us. Sometimes it is just a minor irritant, but at other times, it is a major hurt. How we deal with these setbacks is the key to our resilience. Resilience is a current buzzword a lot of folks are using, but what does it mean? It comes from Latin and is derived from the present participle form of the verb resilīre meaning to spring back or rebound. The present participle gives a verb the sense of a continuing action like jumping and running. Of course you already knew all of that from your high school grammar and etymology courses, right? According to the American Psychological Association, “resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress.” These stressors can come from disparate sources, but some of the most common ones are family and relationship problems, serious health issues, or negative financial or workplace

situations. The good news is that resiliency can be built through positive actions, thoughts and behaviors. There is no resiliency technical order or easy checklist to follow. What works for one person may not work for another. There are, however, a basket of tools and techniques that every one of us can choose from to help bounce back after an incident instead of psychologically languishing in the midst of life’s negative events. The APA offers 10 tips for resilience in a time of war. The first is to make connections by keeping in touch with family and friends and seriously considering your spiritual health as well. Next, the APA suggests helping yourself by helping others. Volunteer work with community organizations can be empowering and give you a sense of purpose. Thirdly, maintaining a daily routine can help give you a sense of stability when the world feels chaotic. The fourth tip for resilience in time of war is to take care of your body as well as taking time to enjoy leisure activities. Next, the APA suggests taking a break from the news, especially right before going to bed when you need to wind down to go to sleep. The sixth tip is to have an emergency plan in place to help you feel

Strength, resiliency, knowing your people... key elements of suicide prevention BY AIR FORCE STAFF SGT. ANNA OLUICH 579TH MEDICAL GROUP JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING

Suicide prevention is more than training, it’s more than a pamphlet; it is about people - our greatest asset.When someone chooses to take their own life, the loss has a great impact on family, friends, and our military mission. For those who’ve been affected by suicide there are a lot of questions which usually go unanswered:

“Why?”, “How could someone take their life?”, “What could I have done to prevent this?” While the answers to these questions are important, the unfortunate truth is that despite our best efforts, we may not be able to prevent all suicides. We are a military under great demands. Now more than ever, we are operating under stress and at a high tempo. Add to this other everyday

Likewise, the APA suggests putting together an emergency kit including the phone numbers of loved ones so you can reconnect as soon as possible. The APA’s eighth tip for resilience is to nurture a positive view of you. Recall the times in your past when you overcame adversity and draw on those skills as you face the current challenge. Next, the APA reminds us to keep things in perspective by looking at things in a broader context and with a longer timeframe. Many people have successfully faced similar issues and you can too. Finally, maintain an optimistic and positive outlook by considering the positive things in your life even in the midst of hardship.

JBAB Exchange committed to low prices BY AMY BRANDT JB ANDREWS/JBAB/WALTER REED CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE

According to a recent article by PC World, more than half of U.S. adult mobile phone owners used a handset for shopping assistance while in stores during the 2011 holiday season. Additionally, a quarter of these shoppers went online to see if they could find a better price for a product they were considering buying.

DOD to revise sexual assault prevention training BY CLAUDETTE ROULO AMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE

WASHINGTON – Calling sexual assault “an affront to basic human values,” Pentagon Press Secretary George Little announced today that the Defense Department is revising its sexual assault prevention and response training requirements. In a Pentagon news conference, Little said Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta repeatedly has stated that there is no place for sexual assault in the military or in the department. “[Sexual assault] is a crime that hurts survivors, their families, their friends and their units,” he added. “In turn, sexual assault reduces overall military readiness.” The defense secretary has taken numerous steps to ensure the department is doing all it can not only to prevent sexual assaults, Little said, but also to ensure a climate that supports victims’ ability and desire to report the crime and to hold perpetrators accountable.

Some of those steps include: -- Elevating disposition authority for the most serious sexual assault offenses; -- Working with Congress to establish “special victims unit” capabilities in each of the services so specially trained investigators and prosecutors can assist when necessary;

-- Implementing an integrated data system called the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database for tracking sexual assault reports and managing cases while protecting victim confidentiality; -- Establishing a new policy giving service members who report a sexual assault an option to quickly transfer from their unit or installation as a way to protect them from possible harassment and to remove them from proximity to the alleged perpetrator; -- Establishing a credentialing and certification program aligned with national standards to enhance the quality of support from sexual assault victims’ advocates; -- Issuing a new policy requiring the retention of sexual assault records for 50 years; and -- Enhancing training for investigators and attorneys in evidence collection, interviewing and interacting with sexual assault survivors. “The goal of this department is to establish a culture free from the crime of sexual assault,” Little said, “and one that deters potential perpetrators and supports survivors.” The Defense Department has a zero tolerance policy for sexual assault, Little said, noting that the health of the force is a major priority for Panetta. “We must hold perpetrators accountable, and we must do

everything we can to prevent [sexual assault] in the first place,” he added. “The focus is on ensuring that we do everything that we can to provide complete and comprehensive training, that we create a safe environment for our service members, especially when they enter the force, … and on ensuring accountability,” Little said. And accountability is most appropriately delivered through the chain of command, he added. “One very important part of that process is ensuring that commanders and senior enlisted leaders are properly trained to set the right tone in their units and respond appropriately to any instances of sexual assault within their commands and organizations,” the press secretary said. In January, Panetta directed a review across all services of pre-command sexual assault prevention and response training, Little said. The defense secretary received the results of the report earlier this year, and based on those results is now directing further action, he said. Each of the service secretaries and the undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness were directed to develop and implement standardized requirements and learning objectives for sexual assault prevention and response training, Little said. The intent is to improve the awareness and response of prospective

commanders and senior enlisted leaders, he explained. “At the same time, it is clear that the department must continue to do more to prevent sexual assault, especially in initial military training environments,” Little said. “Our newest service members are the most vulnerable and most likely to experience a sexual assault.” With this in mind, Panetta today also directed a thorough review of the policies and procedures related to all military training of enlisted personnel and commissioned officers, Little said. “That review will assess initial training in several areas,” he told reporters, including the selection, training and oversight of instructors and leaders who directly supervise trainees and officer candidates; the ratio of instructors to students; and the ratio of leaders in the chain of command to instructors. The review, scheduled to be completed by February, also will assess potential benefits of increasing the number of female instructors conducting initial military training. “All members of the military and this department must have an environment that is free from sexual assault,” Little said. “The department remains strongly committed to providing that environment and ensuring the safety and security of those entrusted in our care.”

Civil Air Patrol a key responder in times of emergencies BY PAUL BELLO JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. – The Civil Air Patrol, the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, is a non-profit organization with roughly 61,000 volunteer members nationwide. It performs nearly 90 percent of all U.S. inland search and rescue missions, as well as operations with Homeland Security, disaster relief and counter-drug missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling is home to the Civil Air Patrol's National Capital Wing headquarters and its Challenger 1 Cadet Squadron – the sister squadron to the Air Force Honor Guard. The wing is the primary point of contact for all CAP activities and Air Force support missions in theWashington, D.C., metro area. It has approximately 150 volunteers supporting such initiatives as communications, ground support and emergency response. Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Mark Bailey serves as the wing’s coordinator for emergency services. He joined CAP in 1973 as a cadet and has been with them ever since. In addition to providing search and rescue aircraft for the nation’s capital, he said CAP has assisted law enforcement agencies inVirginia, Maryland and as far asWestVirginia and Pennsylvania. “When resources are stretched, we’re a second alarm and back-up to other agencies,” Bailey said. “We listen for distress signals and provide guidance to rescue responders on the ground. We can have anywhere from 50 people on any given operation, such as trying to locate a missing aircraft or airplane parts.”

Civil Air Patrol cadets practice land navigation skills to prepare for ground search and rescue team certification. Because CAP is a federal resource, Bailey said disaster relief is also in its purview. It’s assisted in several hurricane and tornado operations over the years by providing damage reconnaissance and land surveys whenever asked. Aircraft for CAP fly out of Davison Army Airfield at Fort Belvoir, Va. – the same place where it conducts annual training exercises for Homeland Security. Though, Bailey agrees that its cadet program is clearly one of the region’s “best kept secrets.” He said members play a leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to many aspiring pilots – regardless of age. “I once worked as a civil engineer, but I always had this desire to fly airplanes. After joining CAP, I decided to pursue my pilot’s license through the organization’s cadet program,” Bailey said. “It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. This is a way for

About 35 percent of our volunteers are all pilots.” Cadets could start training as young as 13, Bailey said. However, to receive a pilot’s license, he added that one must be at least 18 years of age and have completed the required 40 hours of flight time.

Absentee Voting Awareness Week BY MIKE CHAPMAN, DIRECTOR PERSONNEL SUPPORT DETACHMENT JBAB VOTING OFFICER

stressors such as living away from home, relationship issues, legal concerns or economic strain.These stressors combined, cause some people to find themselves mentally stretched to the limit. Strengthening our own resolve and maintaining resilience under stress, increases how fast we bounce back from difficult times. Remember, seeking help is not a sign of weakness and does not have to impact someone’s career. It shows wisdom and good judgment by using the available resources to resolve issues early. Taking care of each other goes beyond rank, title, or position. It is seeing a Soldier, Sailor, Marine, Airmen, Coast Guardsman, civilian or contractor first and foremost as a human being. It’s about building relationships and recognizing the value of each person.

Face of Defense: ‘Golden Hour Box’ developer reflects on career CHRISTINE JUNE ARMED SERVICES BLOOD PROGRAM OFFICE

FALLS CHURCH,Va – One of the men who helped to invent a “box” that could save lives on the battlefield said he joined the Army for “three years -- tops.” “That was 31 years ago,” Army Col. Francisco Rentas added with a smile, remembering what he said to his family gathered at Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico, on his way to basic training. “Everybody was crying, and I told them that it was for two or three years. I told them I would be back.” A native of Ponce, Puerto Rico, Rentas had every intention of returning home to his parents, sister and brothers. “Every time we go by Fort Buchanan, we always remember -just like a movie -- Francis sitting on a small wooden bench, carrying a small handbag,” said his sister Hilda Rocafort, who was 12 years old when Rentas was born. “When he didn’t return in two or three years as we expected, we were sad because of the distance, but deep inside, we knew that he was happy. He was focused on new achievements.” And there would be a multitude of worthy achievements, including one that has made a lasting difference in the lives of his military fam-

Army Col. Frank Rentas, director of the Armed Services Blood Program, hosts a teleconference discussing an upcoming lessons- learned workshop in his Falls Church, Va., office, March 30. ily -- the invention of the Golden Hour Human BloodTransport Container. The 10-inch-square Golden Hour box is a device that carries blood far forward to the battlefield.

No effective combat-environment, thermal, blood-carrying container existed in 2002 when U.S. troops were fighting in Afghanistan, far away from any fixed medical facility.

Rentas retires from the Army in a ceremony Sept. 21, as his latest tour of duty -- director of the Armed Services Blood Program Office -winds to a close. In this role, he has overseen the disposition of blood

products to the combat theater and elsewhere throughout the military medical community. “[Special Forces units] needed a container to carry red blood cells that could operate in Afghanistan’s desert and mountainous terrain and maintain the cells without freezing or cooking them,” said Dr. Victor MacDonald, product manager and subject matter expert on blood products for the Pharmaceutical Systems Project Management Office at the U.S. Army Medical Material Development Activity at Fort Detrick, Md. Transporting blood, which is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, is no simple task. MacDonald said red blood cells must be preserved at the correct temperature -- 1 to 6 degrees Celsius or 34 to 43 degrees Fahrenheit - to be viable for transfusion. “The beauty of the Golden Hour container is that it preserves red blood cells without the use of electricity, batteries or even ice,” said MacDonald, a member of the original invention team. The team received the Army’s 2003 Greatest Invention Award. Rentas’ path toward the science of blood banking would begin with his Army enlistment as a clinical

Pentagon official explains Asia-Pacific focus High retention leads to BY ARMY SGT. 1ST CLASS TYRONE C. MARSHALL JR. AMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The entire U.S. government has made a concerted effort to improve U.S.China relations while implementing the tenets in the defense strategic guidance, a senior Pentagon official said Sept. 24. Speaking to an audience at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Kathleen Hicks, principal deputy undersecretary of defense for policy explained the U.S. military's strategic shift in focus toward the Asia-Pacific region. "The investment of time and resources that the entire U.S. government is making in our relationships in this region includes a strong emphasis on improving relations with China," she said. But as President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta and Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter have emphasized, the rebalance is not just about China, she added. "It is not just about the U.S. goal in the region, and it's not an attempt by the U.S. to contain China," she said. Hicks said the need for rebalancing became apparent in 2011 as the Defense Department's senior leaders, along with the president's staff, engaged in a strategic review of how to achieve the objectives of the national defense strategy amid changes to the geo-strategic and resource environments.

"The end of the war in Iraq and the onset of our transition to Afghan leadership for security in Operation Enduring Freedom were among the dynamics we felt necessitated a re-look prior to the next [Quadrennial Defense Review]," she said. Hicks noted Clinton, Panetta and Carter all have visited Asia in recent months. "These travels provide our leaders venue to describe the United States vision for a prosperous and peaceful Asia-Pacific," she said. "[It will be] supported by a shared commitment to the values of free and open commerce, unimpeded access to the global commons and a system based on a rule of law. "This vision scans the spectrum of our diplomatic, economic and defense policies," she continued. "Our whole-of-government efforts include strengthening our alliances and partnerships, deepening working relationships with emerging powers, engaging in and strengthening multilateral institutions, expanding trade and investment and advancing principles of democracy and human rights." Hicks said the rebalancing reflects the larger picture of the entire region "including U.S. engagement with China, including military-to-military relations." "The stability and prosperity in this region will be shaped by our ability to work together," she said. Hicks explained some of the changes to come during the course of the rebalancing to the region. "As U.S. forces return from

Afghanistan and reset globally, one of our priorities is having forces present and positioned in the Pacific to assure regional allies and partners, deter threats to regional stability and prevail in conflicts if necessary," she said. "ThisincludestheArmyaligning specific forces to U.S. Pacific Command, as well as the return of Marine Corps units to the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force," Hicks said. "We'realsoshiftingouroverallnaval presence to the Pacific region." She noted that Panetta has said the United States intends to have 60 percent of its naval assets based in the Pacific by 2020. "The department continues to work with our allies and partners in the region to increase the number and size of bilateral and multilateral exercises," Hicks said. "For example, just a few weeks ago, and for the first time, Indonesian [forces] participated alongside Thai, U.S., and Australian fighters in the biannual exercise 'Pitch Black' in Australia's northern territory." Hicks said these exercises and training with allied and partner militaries are essential to the United States remaining the "security partner of choice" in the region, while encouraging others to share the burden. "Our forward presence and engagement play an essential role in strengthening the capabilities of Pacific nations to defend and secure themselves," she said. "Building strong partnership in the AsiaPacific region requires us to sustain and enhance American military strength there."

promotion board delay BY TECH. SGT. SHAWN J. JONES AIR FORCE PUBLIC AFFAIRS AGENCY

WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Air Force officials announced they will delay the Line of the Air Force promotion board for captains commissioned in 2005 from its anticipated December 2013 date. Air Force officials made the announcement Sept. 25 as they released the 2013 Selection Board Schedule. Record retention rates coupled with Defense Officer Personnel Management Act restrictions have resulted in a delay that will move this board into 2014. The Line of the Air Force board, which does not affect judge advocates, chaplains or health profession officers, will be pushed back approximately nine months. The major's board for judge advocates will also be delayed for scheduling reasons, but this delay will not affect projected pin-on dates. Public law prevents the Air Force from carrying a surplus of officers in grades of major, lieutenant colonel and colonel. "If the Air Force were to continue at the pin-on rates common

over the past several years, the total number of majors would surpass the total allowable by the law," said Lt. Col. Emi Izawa, chief of the Military Force Policy Division. Izawa said the delay in the 2005 year group's promotion board does not drive a later pin-on date -- high retention did that. Delaying the board moves it closer to the start of that year group's pin-on date so the Air Force can comply with Office of the Secretary of Defense policy and congressional expectations. The 2014 Selection Board Schedule will be released in the summer of 2013. "The delay is a product of high retention rates and public law and not related to force management programs or budget cuts," said Lt. Gen. Darrell Jones, Air Force deputy chief of staff for Manpower, Personnel, and Services. Jones emphasized the board delay will not make the affected officers less competitive for future promotion consideration throughout their career.

laboratory technician in 1981. He said he wanted to be an enlisted soldier even though he had just earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of Puerto Rico. Before a year was up, Rentas met his wife of 30 years. They now have two daughters. He stayed enlisted for almost six years, attaining the rank of sergeant before earning a direct commission in 1987 as a second lieutenant in the Army’s Medical Service Corps. “I really enjoyed working in the lab behind the bench, testing blood and other samples -- plus, I was married,” said Rentas, with his smile returning as he explained how his three-year homecoming never happened. And for those whose lives have been saved by preserved blood products close at hand, many would agree that it is a very good thing that Rentas decided to make the Army a career. “How [the Golden Hour container] works,” Rentas explained, “is that there are panels inside the container that you freeze ahead of time, and when these panels go from frozen to liquid, everything inside stays at 4 degrees Celsius for about 72 to 75 hours, depending on the temperature outside.” Success of the Golden Hour container, Rentas and MacDonald said, is evident by the fact that it is still in use today -- not only in the U.S. military and civilian medical communities, but also in several countries. “And not just for blood,” Rentas

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING said,“A lot of medical professionals are using the box for other temperature-sensitive, life-saving medical supplies -- platelets, vaccines and medications -- during emergencies as well as on the battlefield today.” “I know how important it is to have more time available to use blood products for patients,” said Robert Rentas, a younger brother of the colonel and administrator of the Instituto de Radioterapia del Este in Humacao, Puerto Rico. “I feel very proud to have Francis as a brother, and I am completely sure that from heaven our Mami and Papi are smiling for all of his accomplishments, and for being a great father and husband.” Through his 30 years of service, Rentas’ achievements include service as chief of military laboratories and blood bank centers; more than 20 medals, honors and awards; close to 50 published presentations and publications; a master’s degree; a fellowship in blood banking; and a doctorate in clinical laboratory science. But being a part of military blood banking – the noble mission of saving lives -- has always inspired him, he said. “Our motivation is driven by the pictures of those returning in flagdraped caskets that could not be saved or those of a young wife with two children at her husband’s funeral,”saidRentas,whoplanstocontinue working in blood banking when he enters the civilian workforce. “Every member of the Armed Services Blood Program throughout the world works hard to ensure we do whatever we can to take care of our customers while maintaining the safety of the military blood supply,” he said. “I will miss them all.”
