Partners in Education reception kicks off with focus on health, wellness By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer The Fort Belvoir community and education partners held their annual Partners in Education reception Friday at the Officers’ Club, kicking off the start of a yearlong commitment to supporting students. PIE incorporates commitment and support to understanding the installation and the community, said Col. Angie Holbrook, U.S. Army Garrison Fort Belvoir commander. “Volunteers are our secret sauce. They enhance the educational environment of the military and the civilian youth and embody what we call Army Core Values: leadership, duty, respect and integrity,” she said. Her son will be able to finish high school in Fairfax County and she said she likes what the surrounding schools have to offer to children. “What I’ve seen in the Northern Virginia region is that there is a strong desire to, not only our military children, but to all children, have the support they need to be successful,” Holbrook said. The partnership between the military and the community is about preparing all students for their future, she said. Sgt. 1st Class David Rosen, keynote speaker, spoke about the importance of sleep, activity and nutrition to maintain energy throughout the day; and about being a positive role model to kids. Rosen is NCOIC and deputy chief of staff for public health for the Office of the Surgeon General. He described the typical day for

Competition raises Special Forces awareness, honors fallen Green Beret By U.S. Army Recruiting Command Public Affairs Though the Special Operations Recruiting Battalion's mission is relatively small — just 5,239 this year — finding enough qualified Soldiers can be challenging, because many do not fully understand the job, according to the SORB's senior enlisted leader. "Oftentimes, (we) find chains of command believe the SORB is recruiting their best and brightest Soldiers," Command Sgt. Maj. Ryan Razon said. "This simply is not true. We recruit great Soldiers from all units. Additionally, we recruit for an Army mission, and it's our obligation to ensure we fully support the Army's objectives, not just our own units." He said events like the third annual Staff Sgt. Joshua Mills Commando Competition held Sept. 8 at Fort Bliss, Texas, help clear up misperceptions about special operations recruiting and help the battalion build positive relationships with other units. "It shows the different divisions and units that the SORB cares about the development of their Soldiers," Razon said. "We're good stewards. My Soldiers expose their Soldiers to some specialized training. "Not only do we recruit Soldiers and put them in special operations, but we also give back in the form of training and development (including) training on land navigation and communications training to signal battalions, and we often offer training on psychological operations and civil affairs to deploying units." Organized by the Fort Bragg, N.C.,-based battalion, the Fort Bliss competition, in its third year, serves as a recruiting tool for special operations, while honoring the life and sacrifice of Green Beret Staff Sgt. Joshua Mills, who was killed in Afghanistan in September 2009 when

thing I strive for," Newquist said. "It's been exhilarating and pretty stressful, but I look forward to talking with these recruiters." Though Tommy and Celeste Mills, Staff Sgt. Joshua Mills' parents, lost their son while he was serving his country, they remain ardent supporters of the Army's Special Forces mission and attend the competition every year in a show of support for Soldiers who have those aspirations. "We are extremely proud (of our son), but one of the things we hope these young men recognize that aspire to the same thing, is that they can do it -- it's a matter of heart and dedication, but they can do it," Celeste said. The Mills' 7-year-old grandson, Malaki, Joshua's son, is already talking about following in his father's footsteps. "To say that it grabs at your heart is an understatement, because you've already experienced the worst thing that can happen to a family," Celeste said. "And now, you realize that this very precious only child of your son is interested in the same thing. But again, my thought goes back to the idea, if he aspires to be the best that he can be, why would I ever not want him to do that. To me, that's what Special Forces is - the very best there is. And if you can meet that challenge head on and become a part of it, by all means, there's no greater service." SORB conducts the Sgt. 1st Class Duane Thornsbury Competition at Fort Stewart, Ga., Nov. 16, during Marne Week, a team-building and esprit de corps exercise for the 3rd Infantry Division. Assigned to the 10th Special Forces Group, Thornsbury died during a combat mission in Iraq in September 2009 after a non-hostile vehicle rollover.

Disabled employees important to organizations, businesses Submitted by Disability Program The history of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, DEAM, dates back to 1945, when Congress declared the first week in October each year as National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week. In 1962, the word “physically” was dropped to acknowledge people with all types of disabilities. In 1988, the federal legislature expanded the week to a month and changed the name to NDEAM. Observed in October, NDEAM is a nationwide campaign celebrating the skills and talents workers with disabilities bring to our workplaces. NDEAM’s true spirit lies in the many grassroots observances held nationwide every year. This year’s theme, #Inclusion-

Works, was created with input from a wide variety of its organizations, including those representing employers; people with disabilities and their families; and federal, state and local agencies. The hope is that the hashtag theme spurs people and groups to post images and stimulate discussion on social media about the many ways “inclusion works,” and inspires socialmedia awareness of workers with disabilities. Disability plays an important role in workforce diversity and organizations and businesses benefit by having a wider variety of tools to confront challenges. People with questions about disability in the work force may contact Karen Ruby, Disability Program manager, 703-805-5383.

In a news release, Belvoir’s school liaison officers said the event recognized the outstanding voluntary contributions between community education partners and their school(s) and reaffirms their commitment. PIE enhances the educational and supportive environment of military and civilian youth through volunteer contributions. Partners in Education volunteers

can help with an Adopt-A-School program; scholarship initiatives; field trips; workshops; and apprenticeships. PIE also shows cooperation and understanding between the installation and the community and invests in the future. “Thank you for support, as our area schools can use the support of all of our professional community on Fort Belvoir,” wrote Wendy O’Sullivan, a Belvoir school liaison officer. “The schools on or near Belvoir have the largest number of military students, with some schools having double the mobility rate of the average rate for the Fairfax County Public School District. Any support goes a long way.”

Fort Belvoir professionals from all backgrounds are invited to participate in the Partners in Education program to support the education and career goals of students in Fort Belvoir’s feeder schools. The schools include Fort Belvoir Elementary School campus, Whitman Middle School and Mount Vernon High School. Wendy O’Sullivan, Fort Belvoir school liaison officer, said they are especially needed at Mount Vernon High. “We are hoping to get support for their new cyber security program, whether it’s from the installation or the organizations on Fort Belvoir, that are able to come and really support that program,” she said. It’s important to be mentors to students through the PIE program, said Jamie Albers, Fort Belvoir school liaison officer. “I think that it gives students an opportunity to see what jobs professionals do and how students can relate their abilities, especially in the science, technology, engineer-

ing and mathematics fields,” Albers said. It’s shaping future generations and giving them mentors, she said. “It’s having the professional community share their knowledge and expertise and be able to be role models for our kids in school,” O’Sullivan said. “It’s to want them to stay in school and … while in school, to perform at their best, because it shows that there is a life beyond school. As teenagers, we don’t always see it that way. But, that support from the adult, professional community shows there really is a life after high school and your decisions now will affect that.” O’Sullivan described Belvoir’s feeder schools as having the highest rate of mobility in Fairfax County. “They could use whatever support from the professional community that surrounds them,” she said. “When we ask for support for different school events, we’d love to hear ‘yes, we can support and we will make it happen.’” If you or your organization is interested in volunteering at schools, contact the SLOs at Jamie.albers2. naf@mail.mil and ena.w.osullivan. naf@mail.mil.

249th Engineers down DTRA 35-18 in flag football By Rick Musselman Sports editor The 249th Engineer Battalion and Defense Threat Reduction Agency treated spectators to an actionpacked, high-scoring offensive showdown when the perennial Commander’s Cup contenders met at North Post Field for a week-three intramural flag football match up, Sept. 27. The 2014 champion Engineers wasted no time unveiling the brand of surgical precision that has taxed opponents throughout every season. Veteran quarterback, Matt Antal, a highly instinctive athlete who utilizes the perfect combination of speed, agility and spot-on passing, repeatedly connected with receivers, Christan Atwater, Ricky Tua, Eric White and Roderick Edwards for scores. The Engineers’ success was aided in large measure by the efforts of lineman, Travis Tofi, who provided the near-impenetrable protection, and outside linebacker, Chris Jose, who harassed DTRA receivers on every play and added a critical, third-quarter pick to his game stats that led to another score for his team. But DTRA, unquestionably one of the most successful units on Belvoir, came to the gridiron ready to demonstrate the unit cohesion, raw talent and exhaustive preparation that earned the unit four Commander’s Cup titles in six years. Quarterback, Andrew Spaulding, focused on the passing game from the opening possession. Bringing to bear his undeniable ability to read the defense and scramble out of the pocket, the quick-thinking QB hit receiver, Dillon Marrone, for three touchdowns, while running back, Javier Gomez, and wide receiver, Dave Williams, contributed to the cause with aboveand-beyond efforts all over the secondary for massive gains. The back-and-forth struggle to take the lead continued all the way up to the final three minutes of the contest. DTRA, trailing by 8 with the Engineers in possession at their own 30-yard line, poured on the coals with a ferocious blitz. The no-letup pass rush forced Antal out of the pocket toward the sideline where he fired deep over the middle. Gomez suddenly appeared in the secondary and made the pick

Timeout

Rain games By Rick Musselman Sports editor All my life, I’ve been intrigued by how bummed out people get on rainy days — especially sportsminded folks who have to find something else to do when games get canceled. But, for me and my friends back in the 1970s, a wet forecast heralded open season for some seriously fun outdoor recreation. Of course, in that technologically vacuous era, we had to use a bit of imagination to keep ourselves engaged. But, once the ideas hit, there was never a dull moment, especially when the rain began to fall. I remember one week in 1976 when a hurricane developed off the North Carolina coast, and, here in Northern Virginia, we got a week’s worth of downpours. Well, as it happens, I lived at the top of a steep hill that had a drainage ditch running alongside the pavement — a shallow gully that became a raging river when heavy rain moved in. One afternoon, while we were wading around with our jeans rolled up, our discussion turned to whitewater rafting. The next thing you knew, we’d run home, gotten inflatable rafts and old inner tubes, and spent the afternoon racing down that drainage ditch in the pouring rain, as puzzled drivers slowed to watch. Later that summer, a friend of mine — one Lemo Collins — gave everybody a call on a rainy Saturday and invited us over to check out “the coolest thing ever.” Without much discussion or hesitation, we got on our bikes and headed over. Lemo’s house had a long, steep concrete driveway, and, when it rained, the runoff ran down its smooth surface like a tidal bore on the Mississippi. Lemo had discovered that if you put a Styrofoam ceiling tile inside a trash bag, you could slide down that driveway like an Olympic luger. After a while, we even got good enough to make the sharp turn at the bottom and get caught in the rapids running along the curb, which would take you all the way to the bottom of the cul-desac. Needless to say, I had many a case of white wrinkled feet and soaked clothes growing up, but I wouldn’t trade those rainy-day adventures for love or money.

DFMWR hosts Oktoberfest Volksmarch event By Rick Musselman Sports editor

Despite chilly temperatures and periods of drizzling rain, nearly 100 Fort Belvoir community members participated in the 2016 Volksmarch 5K and 10K events during the installation’s annual Oktoberfest celebration, Saturday near Fremont Field. The Volksmarch, or ‘people’s walk, from the German translation, is a yearly chance for Service members, military families and civilians to participate in a non-competitive trek along a scenic route on Belvoir’s North Post during the installation’s four-day festivities

dedicated to showcasing German heritage, culture and cuisine. According to Kristin Mayer, Fort Belvoir Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, management analyst and Volksmarch host and coordinator, the event is a highly popular part of Oktoberfest each year, drawing hundreds of participants. The walks are hosted in partnership with the Northern Virginia Volksmarchers, a walking club founded in 1983 to give active people a chance to participate in organized walking events throughout Northern Virginia. Volksmarches are also part of a large, international program that hosts walking

events worldwide. Registrants keep a record of their participations and progress and work toward reaching personal goals, in terms of distances covered over a specific time period. Walkers follow a designated route across North Post marked with arrows along the streets. For more information about the annual Volksmarch visit http://belvoir.armymwr. com/us/belvoir or http://www.scenicroutes. us/nvv.

Red Birds Team Two takes on Woodlawn Team Two By Bill Behring Special to the Belvoir Eagle Fort Belvoir fall Little League Baseball action continued Sept. 20 when Red Birds Team Two hosted Woodlawn’s Team Two at Belvoir’s 21st Street Baseball Complex. In the first inning, with Justin Elsea on the mound, the Red Birds held Woodlawn hitless and induced three outs. In Belvoir’s first inning, four runs scored on four hits, the fourth being a bases- clearing triple by Gavin Yomes. Woodlawn tied the game at 4 in the second on a series of walks. Belvoir plated one run in the bottom of the frame to break the tie, when

Mateo Rodas was granted a base on balls. He subsequently worked his way to third on wild pitches and walks, and scored on an infield hit by Keith Knight. In the top of the third for Woodlawn, which, due to time constraints, became the “declared” last inning, four more runs crossed the plate without the benefit of a hit, granting Woodlawn an 8-5 lead. William Johnson walked, advanced to third on two successive outs, and scored Belvoir’s sixth run on an error. Belvoir then loaded the bases. Kyler Elsea appeared at the plate and produced a bases-clearing triple to right field.

The Red Birds took the win, 9-8. In Junior Division play, the Red Birds visited Alexandria Team One at Simpson Field, Alexandria. In the first inning, Alexandria scored five runs — the maximum per inning in the fall season in the division — on walks and errors. They plated another run in the third, four in the fourth and one in the fifth and took the win, 11-4. Belvoir’s Hunter Schmick and Jacob Murphy were brick walls behind the plate as Eli Steiner and Charles Brazel each worked two innings from the mound. Bailey Cape came on to complete the game in the fifth, getting three outs from five Alexan-

dria batters. The Red Birds scoring didn’t come until the fifth inning when Murphy drew a lead-off walk and then stole his way home on a wild pitches and miscues. Eli Steiner then drew a five-pitch walk and advanced to second on a stolen base. Jordan Bozeman sent a rocket shot to shortstop that got through, bringing Steiner home for the second run. Bozeman subsequently stole second and third, eventually scoring on a wild pitch as Ashton Tourne was at the plate. Charles Brazel scored the fourth run when Briare Jones was hit with a pitch. Final score: 11-4 Alexandria.

October is Army Cybersecurity Awareness Month, an annual campaign to increase awareness of cybersecurity practices that help improve the Army’s overall security posture. This year's theme is “Cyber Secure: Mission Ready," which emphasizes the importance of cybersecurity to protect the Army against cyber threats that endanger Soldiers, compromise information systems and threaten mission success.

Cyber attacks threaten Army systems and information every day, putting operations and people at risk. Strengthening Army cybersecurity is critical to all Army warfighting operations and business functions. Cybersecurity is everyone's responsibility. All members of the Total Army — Soldiers, civilians, and family members play a key role in protecting information systems.

What has the Army done?

Cybersecurity Awareness Month provides a focused opportunity to review individual responsibilities and procedures for safeguarding Army assets; and to inform people of the potential threat for non-compliance. It is paramount that the force understands cybersecurity is a critical aspect of everyday business and operational activities. Army leaders are taking steps to ensure Soldiers, civilians and contractors understand their online actions may have consequences and know

What efforts are planned for the future?

The Army will continue to promote robust and real-world training to raise awareness of cybersecurity responsibilities and compliance. As the Army becomes increasingly dependent on information technology, cybersecurity threats pose an ever-greater challenge. To help mitigate these risks, the Army will continue to grow its cybersecurity awareness and build a culture to improve cybersecurity and Army mission readiness.
