Belvoir garrison gets new CSM By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Garrison Command Sgt. Maj. Billie Jo Boersma relinquished her position to Command Sgt. Maj. Corey Perry, Oct. 3 at Thurman Hall. Before the official ceremony, Boersma was awarded the Legion of Merit from Maj. Gen. Michael Howard, commanding general of Joint Force Headquarters-National Capital Region and the U.S. Military District of Washington. Lt. Col. Christopher Tomlinson, then garrison commander, said it was a bittersweet day as they let go of an accomplished leader who is also a Soldier’s Soldier, he said, referring to Boersma. “You have been an unwavering model of discipline, candor and charity – a true team player,” Tomlinson said. “That’s what describes Command Sgt. Maj. Boersma the best. He listed several of her accomplishments over the past year, including revitalizing the monthly senior enlisted leadership council and being a strong proponent for BOSS, or Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers, a program dedicated to improving single Soldiers’ lives. “This last year has presented many successes and challenges. But, through most of this we have kept our focus on the idea of servant leadership,” Tomlinson said, “through accomplishing the mission, taking care of Soldiers and civilians, and doing our best to shape our outcomes.” Boersma described her time at garrison command as one of the most meaningful jobs she’s had in the 25 years she’s been in the Army. “Thanks for allowing me to serve with and for each and every one of you,” she said, adding that those within the garrison never wavered in their achievement toward greatness.

Together you will never fail,” she said. Boersma told Perry that he’ll take the garrison to new heights. “You have been flexible and patient during this entire transition with all of my drama. You are a true professional,” she said. Her only advice for him is that he leads the team with his heart. “This team will help make sure you succeed,” she said. Boersma who is retiring from the Army, said the one thing she won’t miss is her military-required hairstyle. “I am ready to be done with the buns,” she said. Tomlinson welcomed Perry to the command team and said he looked forward to working with him. “I, and you, know you are about

Garrison commander discusses recent absence By Col. Angie Holbrook Fort Belvoir Garrison Commander Recently, I had an extended absence from the office to get some much-needed medical and mental health care. Though I didn’t want to admit it, I made excuses for constant migraines that had taken over my life after a combat deployment to Iraq. These migraines were unaddressed for nearly a decade. As Belvoir’s garrison commander, I think it’s important we don’t shy away from hard topics and conversations that face our force and our families in these very challenging times. Everyone who’s raised their right hand swearing allegiance to the Constitution understands the implications and environment when they take that oath. As warriors, we are charged to fight and win our nation’s wars. That, alone, can take on many forms and can have many effects on those who carry out those orders.
Holbrook We all -- military, civilian and families -- have fought our own battles and bear the toll of what operational stress can do to our bodies, minds and spirits over time, whether that battle is on deployment or within our shores. When we talk about the values we want in a warrior, courage usually tops that list. Whenever someone chooses to be vulnerable enough
to say, “I know something is not right and I want help to make it right,” it’s as courageous as charging a hill. Stopping to get “help” probably scares some of you reading this. What keeps us from getting the help we need? I think I came up with almost every excuse in the book not to go and get help. But, I finally did, and I now realize I waited too long before my body started reacting. No one should let it get so bad before they go see someone to address their concerns. Make sure someone listens to you, because you are your own best advocate. There are ways to get back, but you need to make the first move. Talk to your primary care manager; a therapist; counselor; friend. They can get you plugged in to the right network. I’ve provided a number of links below that may be helpful; don’t settle for unanswered questions or diagnoses. It was not easy to step away from running this post for three months to address some long-held issues. But,
being your garrison commander and the mother of a young man is exceptionally important. I also had to remember I cannot be good to anyone else if I don’t take care of myself, first. I want to thank my IMCOM and MDW leadership for their support; send out a special thank you to Fort Belvoir’s world-class garrison staff for its hard work; and give a big shout out to the amazing professionals at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence, NICoE. No one gets through life alone and we need everyone on this team.

Women’s Health Month: Time to reset your health care habits By Navy Vice Adm. Raquel Bono Director, Defense Health Agency I was recently a speaker at a women’s leadership symposium and was asked for strategies for proactively managing one’s health, when faced with hectic schedules and numerous responsibilities. I could totally relate and the timing couldn’t be better. October is Women’s Health Month and a great time to remember that we, as women, owe it to ourselves and our loved ones to make our health a priority. Focusing on healthy lifestyle habits; ensuring we get regular checkups and immunizations; and being our own best advocates for care help us live healthier, happier lives. I’m encouraging women to take command of their health by resolving to do three things today that will make a difference in your tomorrows. First - get to the heart of the matter. Heart disease accounts for about one in every four deaths in women each year and is the leading cause of death for women in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. You can take steps to reduce your risk through healthier habits and lifestyle changes, like limiting alcohol consumption; not smoking; eating plenty of vegetables and fruits; getting quality sleep; reducing stress; and exercising.

how to focus on physical activity and managing weight. Second - Do not slack off on preventive care, including regular checkups; cancer screenings including colonoscopies; and reproductive health care. TRICARE covers well-women exams for those 65 and younger. Keeping up with immunizations is another essential, preventive measure and doctors will advise scheduling immunizations during regular checkups. Finally - Be a strong advocate for your own health. Some time ago, I was at my doctor’s office discussing a recurring issue I was having. Despite being a physician and hospital commander at the time, he doubted my problem because a lab result had not yet been added to my record. This kind of dismissal of a patient’s concerns undermines health care delivery. We, at the Defense Health Agency, are committed to ensuring every member of our beneficiary population of 9.4 million people gets personalized, responsive and respectful care. By taking charge of your wellness and lifestyle habits, and clearly expressing your health concerns and questions, you become an active partner with your provider in staying healthy. Women’s Health Month can be your starting point to reset your habits – and make lifelong differences in your health and wellness. Let’s take command of our health.

Belvoir athletes take their marks for the women’s 200-yard freestyle relay during the FY17 intramural swim meet.
DTRA wins Commander’s Cup swim meet By Rick Musselman Sports Editor True to historic form, Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s male and female swimmers turned in excellent performances across the spectrum of events to best U.S. Army Legal Services Agency and claim the 2017 intramural swim meet title— it’s 11th in as many years. Dominating the event—which included individual medley, freestyle, breast stroke, back stroke, butterfly and relay—DTRA athletes wrapped up their Commander’s Cup title race in fourth place. Nearly 200 athletes and spectators crowded Benyaurd Indoor Pool to witness the showdown between the “Big Four” and cheer their fellow Service members and civilian athletes on throughout the critical contest.

I was at the Golf Club last week covering the Ladies Golf Association’s annual Memorial Tournament—unquestionably one my favorite events of the year, mostly because the air’s getting cool, the scenery’s beautiful and I can get a little free exercise walking around those hilly courses. (We’ve already discussed the golf cart situation.) Anyway, another benefit of such events is the always curious sports editor’s opportunity to find cool stuff lying around in the woods. I’d never realized how rich the landscape was around here until that morning when I helped some golfers look around in the underbrush for a wayward ball. Like many things in life, you have to put a little effort into locating the good stuff, especially in the woods at golf courses during the leaf season, but I can tell you it’s worth it. Aside from about 5,000 golf tees and a fair number of lost balls (which don’t really seem to me to be very unreasonable things to find at a golf course), there are all variety of natural artifacts one can discover and even consider taking home (if you were of a selfish and ecologically unsound ilk). That day when I was shuffling through the woods around the Woodlawn Course’s 10th green, I spotted perhaps the most geometrically perfect spider web I’d ever seen, along with some outstanding rock specimens. There were also some unusually large pine cones I could do very nicely with and, of course, there were groundhogs, without which no morning in the woods would be complete. Another pleasing bonus is the bonanza available for bird watchers. Think how revered and seldom-sighted our national bird— the majestic bald eagle—is, and very few can attest to ever seeing one live and in Technicolor. Well, it just so happens that bald eagles are very nearly a dime a dozen here. (Of course, it helps we have Mason Neck Refuge just down the creek.) Now, the greens keepers at the Golf Club run a tight ship, so you won’t find any interesting manmade refuse, but if you’re looking for a little excitement in the finding-cool-stuff department, it’s the place to be, for sure. It’ll bring out the kid in everyone.

Youth athletes try out for basketball teams By Rick Musselman Sports Editor Nearly 100 youth athletes from Fort Belvoir’s CYS sports program tried out for slots on the 2017-18 Barracudas Youth Basketball teams, over the last two weeks at Specker Field House. The Belvoir Barracudas are members of the Fairfax County Youth Basketball League, a metro-area athletic program comprised of boys and girls, grades five through eight, who compete each year against some 25 local youth clubs. FCYBL enables the youth of its member organizations to learn, grow and develop skills through basketball competition; and foster sportsmanship, integrity and fairness, according to the league’s mission statement. The two-week tryout cycle gave this year’s athletes a chance to dem-
onstrate their skills in a comprehensive array of plays and workouts that allow coaches to assess players’ strengths and abilities, and to start assembling teams. Players engage in a variety of stamina-building exercises, and drills focusing on passing; dribbling; defense; free-throws; lay-ups and shooting. Alton Green, Barracudas basketball program commissioner; and Herb Marshall, deputy commissioner, coordinated the tryout sessions with several CYS youth sports and fitness specialists and trainers. Tryouts wrap up today and Friday at Specker Field House, 6 - 7:30 p.m. All children registered with CYS can participate. The Belvoir Barracudas regular basketball season runs from December-March. For information, email Jerry Arrington, jerry.r.arrington@ us.army.mil; Coach Greene, alton. greene@yahoo.com; or Coach Marshall, herbmarshall@msn.com.

Staff Sgt. Ross Alewine, left, with friend, Steve Smutak, Fort Belvoir WTB adaptive sports coordinator. The two completed the Army Ten-Miler in racing wheelchairs, Sunday.
Warriors roll through Army Ten-Miler By Mary Therese Griffin Warrior Care and Transition Staff Sgt. Ross Alewine of Belvoir’s Warrior Transition Battalion has seen his share of combat and injuries. The 29-year-old Infantryman from South Carolina has a motto when it comes to his story: “Don’t remember me, remember there is always a way.” And where there’s a will there’s a way. Alewine competed in regional trials at Fort Benning last fall for the chance to go on to Army Trials, where he was recognized as “Outstanding” in all seven events he competed in: track and field; air rifle; air pistol; archery; sitting volleyball; wheelchair basketball and swimming. Despite his impressive performance, Alewine did not make it to the Defense Department’s Warrior Games, because he had to have reconstructive shoulder surgery to repair injuries sustained during his last deployment to Afghanistan. Alewine recovered from his surgery and ran in the Army Ten-Miler, Sunday in Washington D.C., sort of. Shoulder and leg injuries, along with Traumatic Brain Injury and Post-Traumatic Stress, have made things challenging at times for Alewine, but he continues to push forward. Assigned to the WTB at Belvoir, Alewine is learning to adapt to his new normal, which has led him to find encouragement and inspiration from others. One of those people is Belvoir’s site coordinator, Steve Smutak, who has been in a wheelchair since a childhood accident. Smutak has helped Alewine learn to use a racing wheelchair and they “rolled” their way through D.C. as they completed the Army Ten-Miler.
Staff Sgt. Ross Alewine, lower right, prepares for a cycling competition at the 2016 regional trials at Fort Benning, Ga. “I told Steve I wanted to race in a wheelchair with him. I’ve been training since August with wheelchair basketball and track racing in the chair, building my arm strength, and it’s really hard,” Alewine said. “I asked him if I could do this with him because I believe there is always a way.” Smutak and the WTB are heroes to Alewine and the help they have given him goes beyond sporting events. He credits them with “getting him off the couch” after his injuries. “A lot of folks get a bad attitude. I don’t look at it like that,” Alewine said. “I realize now there is always somebody like you and you shouldn’t give up on yourself. The best part is that there is always help and you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for it.”
Alewine now finds himself volunteering with organizations like On the Edge and One Way or Another, helping, specifically, kids who have disabilities and veterans with traumatic experiences. All of this activity keeps him thinking about his future as he is nearing retirement from the Army. “The WTB is the gateway to your future, in my opinion. I thought I was done. I was an athlete in high school and my world changed after my injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan. My world is different, now,” Alewine said. After spending the next year at a technical college, he said he plans to transfer to Clemson University in his home state to pursue his goal of becoming an occupational therapist. Alewine’s road to becoming an OT is part of his own reconditioning in a big way. He believes his own injuries and recovery will provide him the unique perspective to understand what his patients are going through. “It helps when you can relate to someone’s struggles, I know I had them,” he said. Despite those struggles, Alewine wouldn’t change a thing. “It’s a small price to pay to serve my country. I was in charge of 10 Soldiers and I brought them all home to their families. That is priceless.” As Alewine begins the road to becoming an OT, he had a 10-mile detour through Washington D.C. While he admits he could have run the Army TenMiler wearing an Intrepid Dynamic Exoskeletal Orthosis or IDEO brace, albeit slowly, Alewine was looking forward to completing it in a racing wheelchair with his friend by his side. It’s not about who has the best time; for Alewine it’s more about time well spent rolling toward his future.

TRICARE changes coming Jan. 1 Submitted by Belvoir Hospital Beginning Jan. 1, there will be changes to the TRICARE benefit, as a result of the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act and TRICARE 2017 region consolidation. Service members, retirees and families will see major reforms to their TRICARE benefit and are encouraged to take command of their own health care. Across all military services, the Military Health System serves a diverse population of 9.4 million worldwide. Although maybe not as visible of a change, the changes coming next year are on the scale of when the military converted from CHAMPUS to TRICARE in the 1990s. The benefit remains exceptional and, in these changes, no one will lose any coverage they have. Some highlights are: * TRICARE Select replaces TRICARE Standard and TRICARE Extra on Jan. 1, 2018. Select combines the features of Standard and Extra in a single plan. Select enrollees may get
care from any TRICARE authorized provider without a referral or authorization. Enrollees who get services from TRICARE network providers will pay lower cost-sharing amounts for network care. * All current TRICARE beneficiaries will be automatically enrolled in their respective plan on Jan. 1. Prime enrollees will remain in TRICARE Prime. Standard and Extra beneficiaries will be enrolled in TRICARE Select. * Beneficiary out-of-pocket costs will be updated. The most current cost info is available from Go to www.tricare.mil/about/ changes/. * On Jan. 1, TRICARE’s North and South regions will combine to form TRICARE East; while TRICARE West remains mostly unchanged. Humana Military will administer the new East region and Health Net Federal Services will administer the West region. This change will allow better coordination between military hospitals and clinics and civilian health care providers in each region.
