Lt. Col. Tulifua relinquishes command of 1st Bn., WTB By Amanda Stewart Staff writer Lt. Col. John Tulifua relinquished command of 1st Battalion, Warrior Transition Brigade, at a ceremony in Belvoir’s Thurman Auditorium, Friday. Col. Christopher Boyle, Warrior Transition Brigade, commander, praised Tulifua for his work leading the battalion, which helps manage the care and transition of wounded, ill and injured Soldiers, for the last two years. “One fact I think is absolutely undeniable, and that is the unit that John is turning over is better than it was two years ago,” Boyle said. “He’s found ways to solve problems and to move the unit forward often, as we all know here, under incredibly challenging conditions.” Under Tulifua’s leadership, Boyle said, the battalion went through changes that resulted in improving medical management, transition readiness and career education readiness for its Soldiers. “It’s been massive and it has affected hundreds of Soldiers, many of whom have moved on and now are living productive lives as Veterans as they continue to serve their communities and our nation,” Boyle said. “But, equally as important, I think we need to consider what John has done individually for Soldiers.” Boyle said Tulifua’s commitment to helping individual Soldiers has improved many lives and helped many families. “I’ve realized how many Soldiers have been positively affected by John’s personal intervention. Not by policy or procedure, but by his personal intervention,” Boyle said. In his remarks, Tulifua gave credit to the team he led for the work they have done to help wounded Soldiers and their families. “It’s been an honor and a privilege to serve, caring for our seriously wounded, ill and injured Soldiers and

Energy security, ‘reduced footprint’ top priorities for lieutenant general By C. Todd Lopez Army News Recently promoted Lt. Gen. Gwen Bingham is the first officer in a decade to serve as the assistant chief of staff for Installation Management without also serving as commander of Installation Management Command. Bingham still has a lot on her plate, though. She oversees the planning of funding and development of management policy for more than 150 installations. That includes every property worldwide in the Army inventory. The Army recently decided to split her present role from the other command, adding a new three-star general to its roster, Lt. Gen. Kenneth Dahl, to serve as commander of Installation Management Command, which is headquartered in Fort Sam Houston, Texas. In that role, Dahl oversees the day-to-day management of about 68 Army installations. That division of the commands, Bingham said, should allow both her and Dahl to focus better on their respective areas. “Installation management is complex business,” Bingham said. Freed from day-to-day responsibility of managing those 68 installations, which required her predecessor to travel regularly between Fort Sam Houston and the Pentagon, Bingham can now focus on developing regulations, programs and directives that support Soldiers and family members, and funding a wide array of properties and programs, at a time when Army budgets are being pared. Bingham said her top priority mirrors that of Secretary of the Army Eric K. Fanning and Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Mark A. Milley: readiness. For Army installations, that

ings from infrastructure reductions were aimed entirely at force readiness, the Army could double the number of combat training center rotations it currently funds each year. Among Bingham’s other responsibilities is to provide oversight of morale, welfare, and recreation programs and family support programs Army-wide. According to Bingham, such programs sustain 1 million Soldiers and 2.2 million family members across the Army. With declining budgets, she is looking to identify efficiencies and build and strengthen partnerships to sustain that vital support for Soldiers and families. “Realistically speaking, we won’t be able to do everything at the same level that we used to do it,” she admitted. “But, I can assure you, we will spare no effort to make sure our Soldiers and their families have that quality of life they so richly deserve.” She believes that partnerships with military service organizations offer one solution to maintaining continued support for Soldiers and their families. “Any which way that we can partner to help retain as many of those programs we’ve had in the past, we are certainly going to do that,” she said. “We’ve been doing that already. That’s not a new initiative. Partnerships occur at every level on the installation.” Bingham has served in the Army for nearly 35 years, receiving her commission in August 1981 after graduating with a degree in management from the University of Alabama. She was sworn in as the assistant chief of staff for Installation Management on June 29 and stepped into the role the next day. She is the Army’s second AfricanAmerican woman to make lieutenant general.

Free financial seminar focuses on credit scores By Amanda Stewart Staff writer Understanding your credit score is key to understanding your financial health, a financial counselor told an audience at the Fort Belvoir Community Center, July 21. Shannon Lindstrom, a senior financial counselor at Pentagon Federal Credit Union, presented a seminar entitled “Score More with Good Credit” at a “Dine and Learn” event presented by the credit union, Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers and the Community Center. At the free seminar, Lindstrom explained the components that make up your credit score, things that can lower your score and things you can do to improve your score. Lindstrom said maintaining a good credit score is something people have to constantly work at. “It’s like a game you have to keep playing constantly to get your score and keep it where you want it to be,” she said. Lindstrom said that using credit is good, but consumers need to know how to use it and be careful not to do things that will damage their credit. “I’m not a believer that credit is bad,” she said. “It’s not bad that we use credit, we just have to learn how to use it responsibly.”
Credit scores range from 300 to 850 and the higher the score the better, Lindstrom said. Generally, scores of 730 and up are considered “pretty excellent,” she said. The five factors that help determine a person’s credit score are their payment history, credit utilization, credit inquiries, length of credit history and credit mix, Lindstrom said. Doing things like falling behind on credit card payments, filing for bankruptcy, foreclosing on a house, maxing out your credit and credit cards, and accumulating large amounts of debt can damage your credit score, Lindstrom said. But, damage to your credit score can be repaired, she said. “If you have something bad happen, it’s not the be all and end all of everything, because life happens,” Lindstrom said. By paying off credit cards, making on-time payments and correcting other mistakes made, consumers can begin to rebuild their credit, she said. Lindstrom recommends monitoring your credit by requesting free reports from annualcreditreport.com and working to correct any problems shown in the reports. Audience members said they learned a lot of valuable information about credit scores at the seminar.

National Night Out is held in communities nationwide each year on the first Tuesday of August and is a “community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie,” according to the National Association of Town Watch, which introduced the first event in 1984. The event gives police officers a chance to get to know members of the community they serve, said Johnnie D. Kibler, Fort Belvoir chief of police. “It’s a chance for law enforcement and community members to develop a relationship and to interact in a non-emergency situation,” said Kibler. Often, the first time community members interact with the police officers is when they call upon them during an emergency, he said. “The whole premise of community-oriented policing is to develop personal relationships with the community. without it being a stressful situation,” Kibler said.

Timeout Madness in the streets By Rick Musselman Sports editor

Fort Belvoir Community Hospital runners approach the finish line of the 2016 intramural Formation Run to claim the first-place title with a time of 41:23, June 10 at Pullen Field.
Belvoir Hospital gaining speed in 2016 Commander’s Cup race By Rick Musselman Sports editor Every year, it seems the winner of the annual MWR intramural sports Commander’s Cup title race is decided in the very last heats of the final competition of the season. But, this year, it’s starting to look a little different, in that one unit will be leading the pack into the final four events — both in points and the level of pure desire. Throughout each Cup season, the field is usually dominated by what has come to be called the Big Three — a trio of units renowned for their collective athletic ability, determination and unit pride that leads to ultimate victory in nearly every sport in the lineup. These powerhouse teams — defending Cup champion Defense Threat Reduction Agency, 2014 title winner Fort Belvoir Community Hospital, and 2012 victor U.S. Army Legal Services Agency — can always be found fighting to
the end to secure the number they need to claim the Cup, and those point totals are always so close that the season-closing competition becomes the final battleground where the champion is decided, historically by the narrowest of margins. 2016 is no exception in terms of the Big Three leading the field, but FBCH is the unit carrying a marked advantage as the race heads into its final two months, putting enormous pressure on its top-tier brethren. From the opening events of this year’s title run, Belvoir Hospital has built a level of momentum that has kept the unit in the lead for the duration. Having secured first-place trophies in Combatives, flag football, formation run, soccer and softball, and earning 16 additional points for its participation in WAMAC-level basketball and the Army Ten-Miler, the point totals are clearly indicating that the perennial contenders have kept their sights sharply focused on reclaiming the
Cup, no matter what the competition threw its way. It’s also grown increasingly clear that FBCH will be approaching the last quarter of the season even more focused and hungry than it’s obviously been throughout the year, especially after coming so close to taking the 2015 Cup, narrowly falling to DTRA at the swim meet, the final event of the FY15 race. Judging by FBCH’s performance and determination on the fields and courts this time around (clearly illustrated by its sweeping 5 – 0 soccer championship victory over defending champ, Defense Logistics Agency, June 8, and its dominating 16 – 10 softball victory over Big-Three rival USALSA in the June 30 softball final, which came right on the heels of denying the same opponent its fourth formation run title in five years), challengers have come to know they’ll need an innovative approach to dislodge this hungry unit from its See CUP, Page B3
This is Rick Musselman, sports editor for the Belvoir Eagle, putting out an all points advisory: the general populace has gone stark raving cuckoo. Last Thursday night, at approximately 8:15 p.m. EST, I stepped onto my porch to sip some coffee and enjoy a relaxing, quiet evening of watching the river flow by under the flickering glow of the gas lamps lining the cobblestone walkways. What I was faced with was anything but a Norman Rockwell snapshot of small-town Americana. The streets were thronged with hundreds of people of all ages, and every one of them was staring obsessively at a cell phone screen as they walked along with the slow, attuned gait of a first-time hunter or perhaps, in some cases, a retirement-age green keeper with precedent-setting hemorrhoids. Always one to investigate peculiarities (which might explain some bee stings and poison ivy I got as a kid), I decided to walk down to the main drag to see if this curious development was widespread, and sure enough, there were even more people there doing the exact same thing. True to my somewhat gothic perception of things, I first noticed their stern faces, eerily aglow like those of vigilantes gathered in the deserted back lot of a clapboard late-1600s church house. Well, as it turned out, the witch-hunt analogy soon became quite apropos— they were playing something called Pokemon Go, a nation-sweeping virtual-reality game that involves cell-phone users trying to track down and capture characters that appear amid digital representations of the actual environs they’re playing in. Some even made it a family thing, bringing snacks, bug spray and water bowls for the dog. I half expected to see even the dogs toting a phone or tablet. I’m old enough to have seen a lot of fads but never have I witnessed such mass strangeness in a town scarcely a mile across. Even more intriguing is that these Pokemon Go “sessions” happen day and night, with some wrapping up at 3 a.m. Either I’ve gotten too old to appreciate innocuous fun or human beings are increasingly deciding that virtual reality is more fulfilling than the one the world came with.

CUP
From Page B1 deeply rooted position at the top of the standings. Still, the 2016 race is anything but a done deal at this point. Second-ranked USALSA currently trails FBCH by 30 points, a comparatively large gap for late July, but the 2012 Commander’s Cup champion still has a chance to make up some ground in the forthcoming events. With a championship win in racquetball and runner-up distinctions in the formation run and softball, the legal team has managed to stay in the hunt for the trophy. And DTRA, having brought down a championship win in volleyball and a runner-up placing in racquetball, still has a narrow chance to sweep some upcoming tournaments and keep its hopes alive to secure yet another Cup title. For a unit like DTRA, one that has won more Commander’s Cup titles than any other unit on post (four in the last six years), pulling out a strong finish is hardly out of the question. The first competition of the final four events of 2016 is the bowling tournament — scheduled for Aug. 8 — an event that FBCH won last season by nearly 400 total pins over DTRA. On Aug. 18, the units converge on the fairways and greens of the Belvoir Golf Club to face off in the intramural golf championship, which DTRA won in 2015 over then-defend-

Will FBCH continue to build on its lead and take possession of a second victory in three years? Has USALSA decided that it’s time to take back the Cup with a similar performance to the one that shocked and inspired the whole sports program at Fort Belvoir in 2012? Will DTRA give its opponents a clear demonstration of its well-known and well-earned reputation for overcoming seemingly impossible odds late in the game?

ACS
From Page A1 Christine Zappala, a military spouse, has used ACS before to help her cope with her husband’s deployment. “The first time my husband left for Korea, there was a spouse support group. I used to come in the evenings and enjoy spending time with other ladies who were going through the same experience,” she said. Having the support group, and participating, was uplifting, Zappala said.
Tammye Braddy, ACS director, said everything ACS and volunteers do is for the community, and nothing could be done without the staff and volunteers. “(They) do everything they can to the best of their abilities,” Braddy said. “We push forward. We put our best foot forward to get things done.” Laureen Dupree, Financial Reading Program manager, was recognized for being the longestserving employee. She started as a volunteer with ACS in 1989. “If you know Laureen, you know this is her passion,” Mitchell said, adding that Dupree was
dedicated and committed to helping spouses with employment. ACS was created July 25, 1965, to help Service members and their families. Today, the organization boasts several organizations under it, including the Army Family Action Plan; Army Volunteer Corps; Soldier and Family Assistance Center; and Survivor Outreach Services. ACS programs help active-duty Service members, retirees, civilian employees, and family members. For a complete list of ACS programs and events, visit belvoir.armymwr.com/us/belvoir/programs/ acs.

Beat the heat with preparation By Chris Frazier U.S. Army Combat Readiness Center
BELVO RT

FO
The hottest months of the year are here and health organizations nationwide are urging Soldiers and civilians to start preparing now to prevent heat illnesses. Each year in the U.S., an average of 658 people die as a result of extreme heat, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC recommends everyone take the necessary steps to protect themselves, such as staying cool, hydrated and prepared. The Army is not immune to heat injury and hundreds of Soldiers also suffer from heat illness each year. “Despite our best efforts, the incidence of heat-related illnesses has remained stable,” said Maj. David DeGroot, U.S. Army Public Health Center (Provisional), Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md. “Over the past five years, more than 200 Soldiers have been hospitalized due to heat stroke each year, and over 1,000 additional Soldiers have been hospitalized for other heat illnesses.” Fortunately, leaders and Soldiers can take preventive measures to reduce the risk of serious heat illness. DeGroot said leaders should arrange training schedules so the most strenuous activities take place in the early morning rather than
1935
1935
during the hottest part of the day. “Likewise, strenuous activities should not be scheduled back-toback,” DeGroot said. “There is a cumulative effect of repetitive days of training in warm or hot conditions. Therefore, leaders might also need to modify training based on the prior day’s weather and their Soldiers’ activity level.” Soldiers can help reduce their risk by taking care of their bodies. DeGroot said an out-of-shape male Soldier is at three times the risk of suffering an exertional heat injury, while a Soldier who is both out of shape and overweight is at eight times the risk. “Preparing for the heat starts with a year-round approach to maintaining physical fitness and a healthy body weight,” DeGroot said. Soldiers and leaders must also remember proper hydration can help prevent heat illness. While there is no consensus for the best method of determining hydration status in the field, DeGroot said the combination of first morning urine color assessment, body weight changes and thirst sensation can be helpful indicators. The presence of two of those three markers indicates dehydration is likely, while three out of three indicates dehydration is very likely.

WORK IN THE MEDIA BUSINESS!
Do you enjoy helping local businesses market their products and services? Are you a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment? Northern Virginia Media Services/InsideNoVa.com is hiring two outside account executives to build and manage advertising campaigns for local businesses.
OUTSIDE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE:  Working out of either our Woodbridge or our McLean office, this rep will sell print and digital advertising to local businesses. You’ll be given a book of business but will be expected to build that territory.

Position is full-time and offers a suite of benefits, including medical insurance, a 401(k) and paid time off. Northern Virginia Media Services publishes four local weekly newspapers, in Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William and Stafford counties; two military base newspapers, at Fort Belvoir and Marine Corps Base Quantico; Washington FAMILY Magazine, and the region’s leading news website, InsideNoVa.com. Our newspapers reach 130,000 households a week, and InsideNoVa has nearly 400,000 unique visitors a month.
