Hospital pharmacist selected to lead national organization By Alex Snyder Belvoir Hospital Public Affairs The College of Psychiatric and Neurologic Pharmacists, CPNP, has elected Megan Ehret, Fort Belvoir Community Hospital’s Behavioral Health Clinical Pharmacy Specialist, to serve as the president of their board of directors until 2019. “As a young practitioner, it is exciting to be selected to serve a growing profession,” Ehret said. “The opportunity to lead my fellow neuropsychiatric pharmacists is truly humbling. I am thrilled to undertake this role.” Ehret currently trains incoming behavioral health residents in pharmacological practices, and provides direct patient care, including treatment assessment and medication management activities. She will continue to do so during her tenure with CPNP. She has been with the hospital since 2015 and her colleagues and supervisors say she plays an important role in their clinic. “Dr. Ehret has been a tremendous asset to the FBCH and the directorate, since joining our staff,” said Lt. Col. Elizabeth Brent, director for behavioral health. “She brings a depth of expertise in psychopharmacology that enhances the care of FBCH patients as well as the readiness of our other clinical staff and trainees.

tranquility within the chaotic mind.” While on medication to keep racing thoughts, stemming from posttraumatic stress disorder, at bay so he could sleep, Kennedy took up sketching. He’d done it on occasion over the years, but never took it seriously. “I never really thought I was that good, at all,” he said. One day, while sitting around, Kennedy said he drew on his sketchpad. “I wasn’t really paying attention to what I was doing at all. I had a
couple of random lines I’d drawn,” he said. It was often hard for him to draw something he had formed in his mind as he had trouble focusing and felt he lacked the skills to produce something of substance. “But, for some reason, that night it became a lot easier,” Kennedy said. “Everything in my head was kind of cleared out, which is what the medication essentially does.

Belvoir Hospital delivers bundles of joy Pre-natal Centering program an option By Fort Belvoir Community Hospital Public Affairs Army Maj. Olivia Nunn, a public affairs officer, recently gave birth to her second child at Fort Belvoir Community Hospital – a son, Gideon. Nunn and her husband, Army Maj. Lawrence Nunn, a cyber officer, said they chose Belvoir Hospital for her pre-natal care and delivery because of the care and attention they received from staff. “Whether in labor and delivery or the mother/baby side, the staff here made sure we were taken care of,” Olivia said. “Even with shift changes and staff rotations, the care felt seamless.” “Our nurse, Courtney, was so attentive, knowledgeable and personable. By the time Gideon arrived, it felt like she was our friend instead of our nurse,” Lawrence added. Belvoir Hospital offers many amenities the Nunns found helpful during their stay, such as Baby Friendly trained staff and “roomingin,” where newborns do not go to a facility nursery, but instead stay with their parents at all times. “Even though this is my second child, I still have questions,” said Olivia. “I like having (Gideon) in the room with me, because I can ask the staff any questions I may have about his care or behavior as they occur. We’re very happy with our care here.” Although Olivia received standard pre-natal care, Belvoir Hospital offers a variety of options, including being seen by a certified midwife or in Centering Pregnancy groups. Centering Pregnancy meetings are facilitated by a clinician and provide health assessment, education and support in a group setting. This community approach to care allows expectant parents to get conventional obstetrics and additional services, like lactation consulting and nutrition guidance, all in one setting. “The best thing about Centering Pregnancy is that it increases a patient’s access to care, as well
Olivia Nunn and her newborn son. as increasing the quality of care they receive,” said Navy Cmdr. Kim Shaughnessy, chief of obstetrics and gynecology, and a certified midwife at Belvoir Hospital. Each centering group enrolls 10 to 12 women with similar due dates, explained Shaughnessy. The groups meet every four weeks until around 28 weeks gestational age, when they’re then held every two. Held in recently updated facilities, each meeting lasts around two hours and includes instruction and medical care, like recommended immunizations and fetal monitoring. “When you compare traditional, one-on-one, pre-natal visits that are 20 minutes to the time we spend in each centering group, this gives women more time with their provider,” said Army Maj. Sabrina Bowers, a certified nurse midwife at

FBCH. “Women are more engaged in their care by taking and documenting their own vital signs. Also, our patient population is often away from family and may not have an established support system here. Centering provides an avenue toward developing lasting friendships. Being with others who are going through a similar experience provides an opportunity for support.” Socialization is a main factor in many patients’ decision to choose centering over traditional care, according to many of the current participants in the option at Belvoir Hospital. “We had just PCSd here,” said Elizabeth Bossey, a centering participant who had her first child last year. “Many of our friends have children who are older, or have chosen to remain childless.

with them about pregnancy when they’re at a completely different place in their life. This group has given us a group of friends where we’re all on the same page. Everyone understands and can relate. That is so helpful.” While the social effects of the program are undeniable, some of the biggest benefits are rooted in the health and well-being of mother and baby, said Shaughnessy. “Compared with traditional maternity care, Centering is, by far and away, my favorite way to provide care,” said Shaughnessy. “The use of it has been shown to reduce unnecessary medical interventions during delivery and help in developing positive parenting skills. Centering is scientifically and evidentially proven to be beneficial for our patients, and to produce the best outcomes in their care.”

INSCOM hosts National Intelligence Director By Sgt. Jeff Storrier INSCOM Public Affairs The Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper visited the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command headquarters at the Nolan Building on Belvoir, Jan. 4. Clapper met with Maj. Gen. Christopher S. Ballard, INSCOM commanding general; and several senior staff members, and had a town-hall style forum where he engaged in discussion with more than 500 personnel from INSCOM’s headquarters and 14 outstations around the globe. Clapper’s visit will likely
be his last to INSCOM in his role as DNI as he is set to retire Jan. 20, after more than 50 years of military and government service. “I so much appreciate days like today - getting out and seeing people and what they are doing in the Army,” Clapper said of his visit to INSCOM HQ. Clapper spoke about the experience he’d gained throughout his career in intelligence, which began as a second lieutenant in the Air Force in 1963 and included a tour in South Korea in the mid-1980s, when he spent most of his time with Army personnel.

“I call it my 2-year enlistment in the Army,” Clapper said. “I learned a lot about a business I was already in, especially at a tactical level.” It was in Korea that Clapper began to realize the Army has an institutional commitment to military intelligence that is unmatched. “This command, and the Army, is very special to me.” he said. Clapper’s father was in the Army and was assigned to the Army Security Agency which, in 1977, became INSCOM. When asked to reflect on the changes he’d seen throughout a life-

New class starts course on Belvoir Submitted by James Kennedy Fort Belvoir CGSC On Jan. 5, the U.S. Army Command and General Staff School Fort Belvoir Campus welcomed the next class of 118 students for the Command and General Officer Staff Officers Course. The campus instructs active-duty; Reserve; and National Guard Army officers and interagency civilians during the 16week resident course taught three times a year. The Belvoir campus, in Barden Education Center, has educated officers since 2005. Students in this course session are from all branches of the Army and include two federal civilians. Col. Douglas Cardinale, director, Command and General Staff School, welcomed the students with a discussion on why they are here and
what his expectations are of them when they graduate the course. Students attending the Belvoir campus get the same resident instruction provided during the CGSOC common core at the school’s main campus at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. During the course, students get training and education in leadership; force management; joint operations; joint and unified operational art; military history; Army doctrine and planning. The course’s purpose is to prepare field-grade officers to plan and conduct unified land operations in leadership positions on Army, joint, multinational and interagency staffs. Guest speakers and site visits to local organizations and agencies supplement the instruction. Graduation is set for April 20.
Warning, request from Belvoir DES Submitted by Fort Belvoir Directorate of Emergency Services The Fort Belvoir Police Department is investigating a series of vehicle thefts that have happened over the past few months. We want to remind residents to secure their vehicles and their garage doors. All vehicle thefts have been crimes of opportunity, meaning there has been zero forced entry and the keys to the vehicles have been left in plain view along with the doors being left unlocked. When se-
curing your vehicle at the end of the day, take that extra second to double check your car doors. Additionally, watch your garage door close all the way and also check that your entry door to the garage is locked. Extra efforts on everyone’s parts for accountability of their property helps prevent property loss. Anyone with information about any recent vehicle thefts on the installation is asked to contact the Fort Belvoir Police Department, 703-806-3104. Callers may remain anonymous. 4.7x13.5-FortBelvoir-Ad.indd 2

Art from page A1 With everything being gone in my head, I looked down at a couple of lines that I drew, and I found them kind of interesting. I saw shapes, and I started making more lines and eventually connecting things here and there not paying attention to what I was doing. I was completely blank.” He continued to sketch to calm his mind and stopped taking his medication — replacing it with his art. Using art to relax wasn’t always easy for him. He had taken art therapy classes, but didn’t like how controlled they were. Previous attempts to draw caused Kennedy anxiety and frustration. He also has hand tremors, but overcomes that by drawing short lines and curves, rotating the paper, and erasing as necessary. Eventually, Kennedy started using computer software to edit his artwork, adding colors and textures to it. “Sharing (my art) with people became interesting because every person I would show my stuff to would see different things in it,” he said. “You could almost tell things about that person by what they look

at first.” Be it the details or the overall pictures, Kennedy said he also looks at his drawings to figure out what they mean. “Really, when all the sketches come out — you eliminate the thinking and the manipulation that you typically try to do with thoughts before they become words or any other form of expression. It’s very raw. So, what’s going on with my hand when it starts drawing, especially when it starts to turn into something, so to speak, even though I don’t have any direction? I still think that’s something subconscious.” The principle is to be in the moment and try to not worry about everything else. “It really does help a lot, once you can let go of stuff and just focus on what you’re doing in the moment — not where you’re going, not where you’ve been,” Kennedy said. “Stop trying to think two or three steps ahead and just look at it … focus on where your pencil is.” In the end, you’ll see everything slow down, he said. “It helps ground you and be in the actual moment of where you are, which is really the only way you can ever find actual peace,” Kennedy said.

DCATS defeats OCAR in intramural hoops By Rick Musselman Sports Editor Defense Communications and Army Transmissions Systems brought a brand of unrelenting intensity to the hardwood that proved insurmountable for the Office of the Chief Army Reserve when the squads faced off in a fierce intramural basketball showdown, Jan. 4 at Wells Field House. DCATS’ offense, spearheaded by the no-let-up efforts of guards, Andrew Johnson and Kyle Ashley, wasted no time applying a level of dedication and focus that kicked the scoreboard in gear from the opening possession. Maintaining a strategic, rapid-fire passing game around the perimeter, Johnson and Ashley connected with forwards, Lamont Dixon and Andre Baker, for some early buckets along the baseline. Adding to OCAR’s defensive challenges, center, Chris Sheppard, constantly haunted the lane, applying textbook picks and bringing down a series of rebounds. Recognizing DCATS’s commitment to driving the lane at all costs, guards, Julius Downing and Tevon Horton, applied a full-court press that managed to slow their opponents’ gains. At the opposite end of the court, Downing took advantage of some fleeting vacancies in the DCATS 3-2 zone, finding forwards, Michael Krough; Jason Konadu; and R.J. Pringle open near the low posts for some hard-won scores deep in the paint. But, DCATS quickly made up the lost ground with a trio of clean threepointers from Dixon and Baker and clearly held the advantage by the mid-game break, leading 31-19 at the horn. Second-period action got underway with OCAR intensifying its offensive approach. Downing began driving through the lane with authority, aiming to draw some fouls as Konadu and Pringle focused on opening up some opportunities inside, courtesy of Krough’s stellar picks. The revamped strategy began to pay some dividends and OCAR narrowed the gap on the

Dogs By Rick Musselman Sports Editor Ages ago, one of my relatives had this saying that “even an old dog knows when he’s disliked,” and ever since I first heard it, it’s occasionally popped back into my head. In some ways, it’s related to the notion that dogs are good judges of character in that they can sense certain vibes coming off someone and, fortunately, 99 percent of the time I’ve had good luck hanging out with dogs and every other kind of animal I’ve come across. They’re fine company for a stroll in the woods and conversation is usually quite easy. However, after 50 years on this planet enjoying animals, I have to finally admit that there’s a breed of dog that (astonishingly) seems to have some kind of deep-seated attitude toward me—and interestingly enough, it’s the breed I’ve never had much use for after one bit me as a kid. As always I took my two-week vacation over the holidays and enjoyed many a stroll through my little waterfront town, camera in hand, savoring a brief break from the thrills, spills and unrelenting intensity of military sports. One foggy evening, as I made my way toward the footbridge near the town limits, I came across a middleaged woman walking along the cobblestones with her dog—one of those Pomeranians whose face (with the fur that sticks out in all directions) has always looked like Yosemite Sam after a Bugs Bunny-planted stick of dynamite let fly. Well, the minute this fourlegged “gentleman” made eye contact with me, he started yapping and growling like a thing possessed, snatching against his owner’s leash as if he’d like nothing better than to get busy chewing my esophagus out. I tried to disarm this situation with a kindly greeting but he responded with full-on barks that people in Loudoun County probably heard—utterly impossible, even to communicate with. I finally decided that retreat was best for all concerned. He stopped barking, but kept looking back as if he’d activated some weird targeting system that would mark me for another day. Maybe I shouldn’t have jokingly called those dogs “pomegranates” over the years. Word must’ve gotten out.

Belvoir athletes recognized by Capitol Military Soccer By Rick Musselman Sports Editor Capitol Military Soccer League, the Washington, D.C. area’s varsity soccer organization comprised of the best athletes in the Military District of Washington, recently recognized several players for their excellent performance during the 2016 season. According to a press release, awards for top goalkeeper, defensive most valuable player, and most valuable player were voted on by team captains (first-, second-, and thirdplace votes worth 5, 3, and 1 points). Captains nominated players from their own team, but could not vote for their own players. Three athletes who have competed in multiple Commander’s Cup intramural seasons at Fort Belvoir were among the awardees. Richard Pina and Devonte Ecford placed high in the Golden Ball, Most Valuable Player category; and Eldon Cleary was recognized among the Defensive Most Valuable Players. Furthermore, according to Andy Green, market analyst, DLA Strategic Materials, and veteran intramurals participant at Belvoir, Ecford—who also made the All-Navy team last year—will be trying out for the prestigious World Military Games U.S. Soccer Team.

Little League season right around the corner By Bill Behring President, Fort Belvoir Little League Have you noticed? Daylight is staying with us a little longer each day. That means the baseball season is just around the corner. MLB pitchers and catchers report to spring training a month from Saturday. And, soon after, on April 22, it’s opening day for the Fort Belvoir Little League’s 2017 spring season. We think your children will enjoy being part of the celebration and the upcoming season. Registration continues through February at the Sosa building on Belvoir Road at 18th Street. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Registration is also available the second Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to noon. Players, both boys and girls, 9 and older, will
participate in tryout sessions to determine which team he or she will be on. These tryout sessions, or evaluations, will be conducted March 11 and 18 and weekday evenings during that week. All candidates should attend a minimum of two of the three sessions offered so team managers can perform a comprehensive evaluation of their talent. They are encouraged to attend all the sessions since, as with all volunteers, not all team managers may be available for each session. Should a candidate have an “off day” he will have other opportunities to create a better impression. Once the tryout sessions are completed, managers will meet and select the players for their team. Once the “draft” is complete, managers will notify parents about which team their child is on and when and where he conducts practice. The sessions are at the 21st Street baseball Complex, across from the Thrift Shop. If there’s
inclement weather, sessions are moved to Specker Field House. However, times will shift to Saturday afternoons, to avoid conflict with the in-progress basketball program. Weekday evening sessions will be announced after the March 11 session. The Saturday tryout sessions for 9-year-old players is at 9:30 a.m.; 10-year-old players, 11 a.m.; and 11- and 12-year-old players at 12:30 p.m. Parents get a detailed copy of the schedule at registration. Players ages 13 - 16 will be contacted for tryouts, if there are enough registrations to form more than one team. Registered players ages 4 - 8 do not have tryouts and are placed on teams, as much as possible, with others in their neighborhoods. Check the Belvoir Eagle for updates on the league and game summaries once the season begins. For any questions on baseball, email coac bill2@verizon.net.

DoD honors Army efforts in acquisition By Lisa Ferdinando Army News Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Work and his acquisition chief, Frank Kendall, honored an Army organization and joint Army effort, Jan. 6 for excellence in acquisition, innovation and cost savings. The 2016 David Packard Excellence in Acquisition and the Should Cost and Innovation Awards recognize extraordinary achievements that represent the “best and brightest of acquisition” and of the Defense Department, Work told attendees of the Pentagon ceremony. Among the recipients of the 2016 David Packard Excellence in Acquisition awards -- the Defense Department’s highest acquisition team honor -- was the Army’s Project Manager Maneuver Ammunition Systems. Other recipients of the Packard Award were the Next Generation Jammer Increment 1 team and the Special Operations Command’s Acquisition Rapid Response Light Tactical Vehicle team. The Should Cost and Innovation Award went to the Joint Program Office, Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, or JLTV team, for the Army and Marine Corps. The winners demonstrated superior program management and accomplishment in the successful

novative acquisition strategy and rapid delivery of non-DoD standard ammunitions to Iraq, Afghanistan, and domestic and other allied partners engaged in counterterrorism. The swelling demands on a lim-
ited supplier base had slowed delivery times, so Project Manager Maneuver Ammunition Systems relied on an innovative systems contracts approach, coupled with the establishment of a global urgent supply. Requirements with delivery times of 12 to 24 months were reduced to 6 months, and in some cases, when partnering with other government agencies, less than three months. The Joint Program Office, Joint Light Tactical Vehicles was awarded the Should Cost and Innovation Award for implementing “should cost” initiatives that resulted in significant cost savings. The Joint Program Office used competitive prototyping to provide cost and performance data for the JLTV. The cost and performance data were then used to develop an innovative source-selection criteria to inform industry’s design decisions. The first JLTVs were turned over to the Army and Marine Corps in September for reliability and mobility testing, and officials said the program is on schedule. The contract is anticipated to save $2.2 billion in life-cycle sustainment costs for vehicles. In total, the competitive strategy and vehicle design are estimated to save $7.9 billion across the final JLTV fleet.
