Pence Gate closes Sunday Tulley becomes 24/7 gate during 6-week closure From Garrison Public Affairs As Belvoir MWR’s annual Oktoberfest ends this year, drivers around Belvoir will notice big changes to their commutes to and from Belvoir. At 9 p.m. Sunday, VDOT officials will close Pence Gate for six weeks, to continue with the agency’s Route 1 Widening Project in the area of Pence Gate. Pence Gate is the Belvoir’s access control point closest to the traffic circle, Fort Belvoir Community Hospital, the Community Center and Fisher House. Drivers coming to Belvoir from the south may notice extra traffic at Tulley Gate, the gate closest to Fairfax County Parkway on Route 1, as Tulley becomes the 24-hour access point during Pence’s closure. To avoid Tulley, from Route 1, drivers can turn left onto Telegraph Road, south of Belvoir’s Davison Army Airfield. Telegraph Road leads to the Fairfax County Parkway and Kingman Gate. Telegraph continues over Fairfax County Parkway to Telegraph Gate, sometimes referred to as Beulah Gate. Drivers who usually get to Pence Gate from Route 1 south, coming from north of Belvoir, are asked to use Walker Gate, off of George Washington Memorial Highway; or turn right onto Jeff Todd Way, left onto Telegraph Road, which brings drivers to Telegraph Gate. Drivers who enter Belvoir through Telegraph Gate are then on Belvoir near the golf course. As Tulley is becoming Belvoir’s See PENCE, Page A8

Be there. Year round.
By Col. Angie Holbrook Fort Belvoir Garrison commander
A
s we see the fall colors spotting the landscape here at Fort Belvoir, we also are bringing our annual Suicide Prevention Campaign, observed each September, to a close. The #BeThere campaign theme was all about letting the people in our life know that, no matter what they are going through, we intend to stand beside them, as we walk together through the challenges life often throws us. The turning of the calendar gave me pause to consider what kind of strides we make every month to recognize and assist this permanent solution our friends, maybe even the person we see in the mirror, consider all too frequently. How do we adequately address such a tragic, personal epidemic? Are we really committed, every day, to “being there” for our teammates? What does that look like every day? With so much adversity in our world, there is one common denominator that every human can identify with - the sting of pain. Sometimes, circumstances not only seem, but are, overwhelming. Sometimes, we cannot see what is on the other side of a difficult struggle or relationship. Sometimes, failing again and again is just more than we can bear. It would just be easier to be done with all this pain. It would certainly be nicer if we had more sun than rain. But, the reality is, it’s going to rain in each of our lives. The questions are: Will we be dressed for the weather? Do we have our umbrellas in good working order? What happens when the water rises and our boats start to take on water? Do we have a resiliency plan to sustain us when it rains for 40 days and nights? Who’s on our safe-person, speed-dial list? Are we sticking around to find out what the response, “I’m fine” truly means when our buddy’s non-verbals tell us a different story? I think our suicide prevention campaign has to run 365 days a year … anything less is unconscionable. The Army reports 107 suicides last year, and 95 in 2014. Staggeringly tragic, as one is too many and any number is a loss to so many families, friends, chains of command, and the Army. Too many of us have been affected by suicide But, what’s the solution? Unfortunately,

Col. Angie Holbrook Fort Belvoir Garrison commander we do not have the answer, the one fix-it-all, or the cookie-cutter of solutions. We do, however, have to slow down from warp speed and start really listening to what our friends are saying loudly with their actions, but silently with their words. We have to be aware when something our friend says just doesn’t seem right. And, more importantly, we have to address it with our buddies right then, right there. That’s where we see real, personal courage.. And, we also know that communication is one of the keys to saving a life. Be there. Be there to ask if they’re OK, not only in times of despair, but, in good times, as well. Be there as frequently as you can … Every day of the month, every month of the year … and not solely on one day of Suicide Prevention Month. You cannot be replaced. I cannot be replaced. It’s going to take all of us to get to the finish line, whether it’s sunny or rainy. Remember to go back to your Ask, Care, Escort, or ACE, trainings. ACE is the Armyapproved model for suicide prevention and awareness training that any Soldier, leader, Army civilian, or family member can use. Training modules are on the Army Suicide Prevention Web site, www.preventsuicide.
ACE teaches people:
Don’t be afraid to ask those hard questions, including: • Are you thinking of hurting yourself? • Do you have a plan? • Do you have the means to go through with this plan? Care about your battle and their situation. Keep in mind it’s their struggle and not yours. Sometimes, we want to “fix” our friends, as if things will get better for them. However, the help they need at times extends beyond your reach. They could need a professional who can help them figure things out, without any biases. Escort your buddy to a behavioral health clinic or to the emergency room, if it’s after hours. Never leave someone who is having suicidal thoughts alone. army.mil. Alternatively, if you feel distressed to the point where you’re considering suicide, please reach out. Talk with a battle buddy, co-worker, chaplain, doctor, family member … anyone who can Be There for you. We are all in this life, on this Earth, together, as one. Please choose to Be There for everyone.

$10 per pay period can help plant 240 trees. $20 can provide healthcare services for 24 mothers and their babies, from pregnancy to post-delivery. $50 can vaccinate 960 children against polio. Those are just some of the examples of how the government’s annual fundraising campaign, the Combined Federal Campaign, can help a variety of recipients. For 55 years, federal employees have contributed more than $8 billion through CFC. Mildred McCullough is a DoD loaned executive for CFC this year and met with garrison directors last week. “Leadership involvement leads to program success,” she told them. “Everyone has a passion to help others,” McCullough said. “We want you to show some love to any of the more than 20,000 charities.” ‘Show some love’ is this year’s campaign theme. The Defense Department has a $9 million goal this year. Of that, the Army has a $1.3 million goal. Lynne Castro, garrison CFC campaign manager, said this year’s garrison CFC goal is $20,000.

Reunions, resources part of Retiree Appreciation Day By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Military retirees got up-to-date on their health, benefits, and available resources Friday, during Retiree Appreciation Day. The all-day event, hosted by the Directorate of Human Resources, included a health fair and briefings. At the end of the event, the Fort Belvoir Exchange hosted a cakecutting. James Newton, a retired sergeant first class, wanted to make sure he stays on top of benefits he may or may not have in the future. “I’m always interested in knowing the benefits they are trying to take away from us, that’s the main reason. And, to see people I used to work with,” Newton said. He and Thomas Mitchel, also a retired sergeant first class, met again at the annual event. Besides wanting to know more about military retiree benefits, Mitchel said he was interested in getting an updated ID card. He and Newton also had questions about Fort Belvoir Community Hospital services. “He and I used to work together many years ago,” Mitchel said. Share your thoughts!

Mitchel retired from the Army in 1982, and Newton retired in 1988. Both said they come to Retiree Appreciation Day each year. “It’s like high school. You run into people you haven’t seen in 20 years,” Newton said. Col. Angie K. Holbrook, U.S. Army Garrison Fort Belvoir commander, and Command Sgt. Maj. Billie Jo Boersma spoke to the retirees and thanked them for their service. Retirees play an integral part in the community, and are important to teaching the next generation of Service members, Holbrook said. “I need you to help teach them the
resiliency that got you through, to where you are today,” she said. When Boersma decided to join the Army, she said it was the men and women who served before her who inspired her to join the military. “That’s who we need to continue our imperative, all-volunteer force. That’s every single one of you, regardless of which service you served in,” Boersma said. Retirees are Service members for life, she said. “Your volunteer service, your support, your comments, your feedback – they help us get better. I really want to take the opportunity to thank you for that,” Holbrook said.

Legal trailblazer ready for next adventure — at 80 By G.H. Cureton Regional Health Command Atlantic Public Affairs Fifty-four years of service to the Army and nation, 36 of them in uniform, come to a close Friday, for Rosauro Lindogan, the office administrator for Regional Health Command-Atlantic Command Judge Advocate. Reflecting on his career, he never thought a significant part of it would be spent in a military uniform — and, for good reason. As a 19-year-old, Lindogan was 5-feet-4 inches tall and weighed 112 pounds. His chances of joining the military — any military — were slim. But, it was a chance he was willing to take. “The Philippine army didn’t want me because I was too skinny, too short,” he said. Determined to serve, Lindogan went to the recruiting office at Naval Station Sangley Point, a former U.S. communication and hospital facility near Manila Bay. “I was interviewed. After the interview, they told me I had to report for the U.S. Armed Forces exam. Two weeks later, I was told I passed the exam and I had to report to Navy boot camp in Orlando (Florida),” he said. The chance to enlist in the U.S. Navy afforded Lindogan, and thousands of the brightest young men in the Philippines, the chance to escape poverty, and was the result of a unique program formalized in 1947, when the U.S. and the Philippines signed a military basing agreement. Filipinos were the only foreign nationals allowed to enlist in the U.S. armed forces without first immigrating to the U.S. and the Navy was the only military branch they could join. A week before he was to begin Navy boot camp, his petition was approved to come to Hawaii to live with his older brother, who already had immigrated to the U.S. A quick phone conversation with his brother convinced him he could enlist in the Navy in Hawaii. “I went to Hawaii and processed with immigration. They said ‘Oh, you are a good candidate for the draft.’ I had no idea what the gentleman was talking about. I asked what the draft was. I thought it was for sports. He said, ‘No. Not for sports. You are too skinny and too short.’” Lindogan found out the draft was for military service. The draft also meant that he would most likely have to wear a U.S. Army uniform. “I was told that I had a choice— sign the form stating that I am willing to get drafted when the time came or I would be deported back to the Philippines,” said Lindogan. “I was scared. I signed the form.” Six months later, a draft notification arrived. It was 1962 and the escalation of the American military presence in Vietnam was soon to follow. For Lindogan, Army basic and combat training awaited at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.

He understood quality and professionalism and did not settle for less than the best from himself and his Soldiers. He could make things happen for the better, when no one else could.” Professionalism allowed Lindogan to rise through the enlisted and warrant officer ranks. And thanks, in part, to a “glowing OER” (Officer Evaluation Report) from Black, who describes himself as a very, very tough rater, Lindogan became the first chief warrant officer 5 in the Army JAG Corps—the highest warrant officer rank in the Army in 1995. “Lindy was an exceptional Soldier,” added Black. “Actually, he is one of the truly great warrant officers. And, if the Army ever builds a statute dedicated to warrant officers — they should make it a statue of Chief Lindogan.”After 36 years in uniform, Lindogan made the transition to federal civilian service in 1998, working for the Department of Justice, Walter Reed Army Medical Center and, most recently, Regional Health Command-Atlantic (RHC-A) at Fort Belvoir. At RHC-A, Lindogan was the office administrator and ensured the medical command’s team of attorneys, paralegals and support staff, has what they need. “He played a key role in helping get everything set up for us during our transition from Walter Reed to Fort Belvoir,” explained Enrique Mendez, deputy command judge advocate, RHCA. This isn’t the first time the two have worked together. “Our paths crossed initially in Panama when I was a captain,” said Mendez, a retired JAG lieutenant colonel. “He was great at mentoring and providing assistance and advice to help legal officers. A good warrant will help to keep young captains in line. He did that.” “I always tried to make sure I did the right thing and that I improved the performance and comradery in the offices in which I worked,” Lindogan said. “I am a people person and you get more support from others when you are helpful, professional. I kept that promise I made to my parents. I am very proud of what I was able to accomplish, as both a Soldier and a civilian.” He is most proud of his family. “I have six children — all successful. That is a part of my legacy in the U.S., too. I thank God I came to the U.S., because, without the U.S., I would not be where I am, nor would my family.” Retirement will not find this 80-year-old slowing down. He already plans to become an entrepreneur in Virginia Beach, Va., starting an import-export company. And, he will continue to find time to run. “Running is my favorite hobby and I run about six miles, three to four times a week. If you slow down, what is left?”

Belvoir Golf Club hosts Member-Guest tournament By Rick Musselman Sports editor Amid ideal weather conditions, nearly 100 Fort Belvoir community members hit the fairways and greens of the Golf Club to compete in the annual Member-Guest Golf Tournament, over the weekend. Golfers squared off in the two-person team event over 36 holes — 18 on the Gunston Course, Saturday, with a 10 a.m. shotgun start; and 18 holes on the Woodlawn Course, Sunday, with a 9 a.m. shotgun start. Saturday’s tournament followed a two-person scramble format, and team handicap was calculated by taking 35 percent of the low handicap and 15 percent of the higher handicap, adding these together and halving the sum. For Sunday’s tournament, golfers followed a “better ball of the partners” format. Men’s team handicap was 80 percent and the ladies’ team handicap was 85 percent. (Handicaps as of Sept. 15.) The Member-Guest Tournament champion (overall winner) was the 36-hole low-net team score of the field. The 36-hole low gross team score was awarded the same prize value as was awarded to the Member-Guest champion. Gross and net prizes for both formats were awarded after the tournament. A “closest to the hole” contest gave competitors a chance to win prizes on all par-3 holes and a hole-inone competition was held throughout tournament play. Final results will be published in the Belvoir Eagle as soon as final scores are tallied.

It seems that I’ve been developing a phobia over the last few years, that I wasn’t even aware of until I went over to Benyaurd Pool to cover this season’s intramural swim meet. Like any other time I’ve worked there, with its heated water and high humidity, I can seldom go more than 20 minutes before my glasses fog over and I’m running the risk of stumbling right into the water (or worse, into some big guy with hairy arms who has a particular disdain for skinny photographers). Sure enough, before the opening heats even finished, I was, once again, blind as a bat and started toward the men’s locker room to grab some towels. That’s when it hit me. Not two paces from the white tiled entrance, such a feeling of discomfort and dismay rose in my chest that I nearly froze in my tracks. A distant memory suddenly flooded my mind and I flashbacked to a regional men’s basketball game I photographed years ago in Baltimore. Regular readers may remember a story I delivered about that night when I had similar trouble with my glasses and found my way into the locker room there. While I was at the sink, wiping sweat and smudges from my lenses, I’d heard a voice. “What camera are you using?” I turned around and instantaneously had every illusion about the institutions of modesty and socially acceptable behavior shattered forever. There before me stood a bearded man wearing a rather determined expression. The problem was, he was completely naked except for a tweed English driving hat on his head. He spoke again. “I’m using 10-megapixels myself.” For once in my life, I was definitively lost for words and my thoughts became a tangle of live wires sparking like fireworks as they, one and all, shorted to ground. How can this be happening? I’m about to spiritually implode and this guy wants a discussion about digital sensors. I can’t even remember how I’d gotten out of that situation that awful day (must be some psychological defense mechanism). But I do know that I’m singularly glad that swim meet only happens once a year.

The Belvoir Barracudas are members of the Fairfax County Youth Basketball League, an organization of 25 local youth clubs in the Washington, D.C., metro area comprised of boys and girls, grades five through eight. The program is designed to enable the youth of its member organizations to learn, grow and develop skills via basketball competition and foster sportsmanship, integrity and fairness. The tryouts give athletes a chance to demonstrate their skills in a comprehensive array of plays and workouts to allow coaches to begin assessing players’ strengths and abilities, and to start assembling teams. Players engage in a variety of stamina-building exercises, as well as drills focusing on passing, dribbling, defense, free-throws, lay-ups and shooting. Try outs will take place Monday, Wednesday, Oct.7, 12, 13 and 14 and all children registered with CYSS can participate. The Barracudas are among the highest ranking organizations in the FCYBL each year, with Belvoir taking home multiple championship titles across every age division. The regular basketball season begins in December and the full season wraps up in March. For more information, email Jerry Arrington, CYSS sports and fitness director, at jerry.r.arrington@us.army.mil; Rashawd Pope, CYSS sports and fitness assistant director, at rashawd.pope@us.army.mil; or Coach Herb Marshall at herbmarshall@msn.com.

Post-level basketball teams forming soon By Rick Musselman Sports editor With a new Washington Area Military Athletics Conference basketball season fast approaching, Belvoir athletes will get a chance to showcase their skills and aim at securing slots on the installation’s elite Eagles team rosters when tryouts begin Oct. 11, 7-8:30 p.m. at Wells Field House. The Fort Belvoir Eagles men’s and women’s basketball teams are perennial contenders in the WAMAC and field some of the area’s finest athletes each year. League coordinators are planning the 2016-17 season and coaches will have their eyes open during tryouts scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursday in October beginning Oct. 11 for the best talent to represent the post in the dynamic league. WAMAC is the official athletics organization for Service members and civilians representing several area military installations from every service branch. The Fort Belvoir basketball teams — the Eagles and the Lady Eagles — compete annually in match ups played Saturdays and Sundays throughout the winter. The WAMAC season concludes with a major doubleelimination championship tournament. During the tryout cycle, Herb
Marshall, Eagles head coach, gives new and returning players a chance to demonstrate their abilities in an extensive array of drills that include three-man down-court passing; free throws; layups; midrange and three-point jumpers and man-to-man drills; as well as grueling defensive maneuvers. Marshall said playing sports in the WAMAC is the highest achievement a military athlete can reach and, as such, every player who comes out each year has to show him they’ve got what it takes — and that includes veterans of the roster. “The returning players have an edge, but they still have to show me they can do it,” he said. “With new units and organizations in town, there are a lot of new athletes; there can always be a new player who can perform as well or better,” he said. “Our mission is first getting a full team together and to practice on a consistent basis so we can work on the game plan and correct some of the deficiencies from previous games. Practice also builds the synergy needed for military basketball at this level. You have to be prepared; it’s more than just a game at this level.” The Belvoir Eagles WAMAC basketball teams play home games at Wells Field House and Graves Fitness Center on North Post.

Operational Support Airlift Activity Flight Detachment changes command By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer The Operational Support Airlift Activity Flight Detachment held a Change of Command Ceremony Sept. 23 at Davison Army Airfield. Maj. Kevin E. Carter relinquished command to Maj. Wayne L. Schaitel. Schaitel will be the organization’s first Army Reserve commander. “Kevin (Carter) did a great job,” said Lt. Col. James Bibb, OSA-A commander. “(He) really cares about their well-being. You don’t see that every day, but with Kevin, you saw that every day.” Carter thanked senior leadership for the mentorship they gave him. “It’s an experience I’ll never forget,” he said, adding that the experience he gained at OSA-A will prepare him for future challenges. The members of OSA-A are “an amazing group of professionals,” whose hard work and dedication help to accomplish the OFD mission, Carter said. Carter’s proud to have called OSA-A home for the past few years. “Thank you for allowing me to be part of it,” Carter said. Schaitel said that he was honored and proud to be the commander of a great organization. “Leadership is taking care of the team … thank you for doing it so well,” Schaitel said to Carter. Schaitel is blessed with a great team, he said. “I owe you all of my support,” Schaitel said, adding that he looked forward to continuing the mission. Before October 2015, OSA-A was known as Army Operational Support Airlift Agency and changed its name to align under The Army Aviation Brigade, Military District of Washington. OFD is the only remaining Operational Support Airlift Command regional flight center after the merger which unified executive and non-executive Operational Support Airlift. With having its first Army Reserve commander, OSA-A is now the first multi-component aviation unit to have active duty, National Guard and Reserve Soldiers.
