GC updates mission partners, local leaders

By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Garrison leadership hosted the 2016 Community Relations Breakfast, Tuesday at the Officers’ Club.

The breakfast brought post leaders and community leaders from outside the gates together to discuss ongoing projects and updates.

“It really does take a team to make a community,” said Col. Michelle Mitchell, U.S. Army Garrison Fort Belvoir commander, adding that everyone does a phenomenal job working together.

Mitchell discussed ongoing changes on the installation, including personnel increases. There are more than 119,000 personnel on the installation. More than 33,000 of them work on post, with more than 9,000 working in Belvoir North.

There are also 67,000 active duty, Reserve, retirees, and family members who live within a 40-mile radius who come on to post. Belvoir also has 145 mission partners who provide services to the Army and Department of Defense.

Belvoir has grown, with an increase of 24,000 people in the past six years, Mitchell said. By the end of fiscal year 2018, the Army will reduce 45,000 military positions and 117,000 civilian positions. Fort Belvoir will see a reduction by the end of fiscal year 2017, although it will only affect 2 percent of the Belvoir population.

HHD, 1st IO holds change of command ceremony

By Amanda Stewart Staff writer Capt. Karen V. DeLoria assumed command of Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 1st Information Operations Command (Land) at a change of command ceremony, Friday.

At the ceremony in Thurman Hall, command of the detachment transitioned from outgoing commander Capt. Michael J. Miller to DeLoria.

“A change of command is an important moment in time for any organization,” said Col. Jayson M. Spade, commander, 1st Information Operations Command. “In any duty position, an officer’s primary responsibility is to provide leadership for the Soldiers in his or her charge. At the company grade, the zenith of leadership is company command. The company commander is the most challenging, most demanding and, ultimately, the most rewarding job to which any captain can aspire.”

Spade praised Miller for his accomplishments as HHD commander.

Memorial Day Safety Message 2016

emorial Day is a national holiday set aside to honor men and women in uniform who have given their lives in service to our country.

As we pay our respects, remember the Army’s greatest assets are our people – Soldiers, civilians, retirees and Mitchell families. ARMY SAFE – ARMY STRONG reflects our mission, and our goal.

The days from Memorial Day through Labor

Day are considered to be the “101 Critical Days of Summer” because, statistically, we will have more accidents during this period of the year than any other. The campaign encourages every member of the Army Family to get out and enjoy all that summer has to offer, while also being vigilant about safety. Each and every member of the Fort Belvoir team is responsible for safety!

The major hazards most of us face during the summer months are recreational activities and vacation trips. Swimming, boating, fishing, and bicycling are activities that can end in tragedy if safety rules and standards are not followed.

Around the home, lawn chemicals, charcoal lighter, propane barbecue grills, and other ar-

ticles present hazards to adults and children.

Remember, it takes proactive leadership, discipline and teamwork to ensure everyone in the Fort Belvoir community stays safe this holiday.

If traveling, drive safely and use good judgment when participating in any activity. Please don’t drink and drive; don’t drive distracted; drive drowsy or fatigued; and always use your seatbelts. Use https://safety.army.mil/TRiPS to plan your travels. As valuable team members of this command, we want everyone to stay safe!

Have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day holiday weekend!

Van Noy summer reading program kicks off June 4

By Amanda Stewart Staff writer Van Noy Library wants to help Fort Belvoir children avoid the “summer slide.”

The term refers to the tendency of children to lose some of what they learned during the school year during summer break. One way to stop it is through summer reading, said Nilya Carrato, Van Noy Library’s supervisory librarian.

Fort Belvoir Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, Outdoor Recreation and Child Youth and School Services are partnering for this year’s summer reading program, with the theme, “Read for the Win!” The theme aims to tie the program into the upcoming Summer Olympics and events related to the theme will be held at the library all summer, Carrato said.

“We want to encourage all ages to come to the library and to keep reading this summer,” Carrato said.

The program kicks off June 4 with a fun run and family field day

at Tompkins River Basin.

The day’s events begin at 8 a.m. with the Color Run for children ages 5-16, followed by the field day beginning at 10 a.m. At field day, families can participate in activities including egg and spoon races, three-legged races, sack races, relay races, Simon Says and more. Children who participate in five events get an Olympic-style medal. There will also be a hot dog cookout from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and families can camp at Tompkins River Basin overnight.

Throughout the kick-off event, children will be able to sign up for the summer reading program. After June 4, participants can sign up at the library.

Then, all summer long, Van Noy Library will host special activities for teens on Tuesdays and school age children on Thursdays. Story times for children ages 5 and younger will be held at 10:30 a.m., Wednesdays through the summer, as they are throughout the year. Details about each week’s programs for the different age groups will be announced on

the Belvoir DFMWR website, Belvoir.armymwr.com, on the Belvoir DFMWR Facebook page and at the library.

The summer reading program ends with a closing party and bike rodeo at Specker Field House Aug. 6.

The goal of the program is to keep children and teens interested in reading throughout the summer, said Carrato and librarian Katie Buxbaum.

“This is my favorite time of year,” said Buxbaum, who has helped organize and lead the program for several years. “It’s always encouraging to see how many kids we get to participate.”

Last year, 853 children and teens registered to participate in the program. It’s important for families to know that the summer reading program is a Department of Defensewide program, so families moving to other installations this summer will be able to participate at Belvoir and at their new installation, Carrato said.

This year, young readers in the

program will be challenged to record the number of minutes they spend reading and will earn prizes for reaching the 500- and 1,000-minute marks.

“This year, we’re tracking by time instead of by the number of books, because that’s a better way to encourage reluctant readers,” said Carrato.

Older children and teens will be challenged to read books from different genres and categories and will win prizes when they reach their goals.

“It helps them to try different books and challenges them to read books they may not have considered,” Carrato said.

Carrato and Buxbaum said they hope to see many young readers participate in this year’s summer reading program.

“We just want everyone to keep reading all summer so they don’t fall behind when school starts again,” Carrato said.

For more information, call Van Noy Library, 703-806-3323.

Reduce costs, waste by dropping off recyclables

By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer You might not pay attention to where your garbage goes, but it costs the installation to dispose of material waste. However, besides reducing costs, recycling cuts down on what ends up in landfills.

“The main benefit is cost avoidance,” said Fred David, Directorate of Public Works, environmental protection specialist. “It’s about how much you’re saving (and) taking out of the waste stream.”

Once recycle bins at the center are filled, the materials are processed and made into bales, which are shipped out weekly to a facility in Maryland to be sold. Revenue collected from the sale of the materials goes back to maintaining the center and then to Fort Belvoir.

Each week, the Fort Belvoir Recycling Center sends off 37 tons of recyclables to be sold, David said.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans generated 254 million tons of trash in 2013. Eighty-seven tons of it were recycled and composted.

Recycling center staff picks up recyclables from office buildings each week and accepts drop-off materials. People who drop off their recyclables have to sort them in bins at the front of the recycling center. The drop-off system is open all the time.

The recycling center, 6010 Pohick Road, accepts scrap metal, plastic, paper, used motor oil, glass, cardboard, aluminum and even electronics.

In November, the center is expected to start taking food waste for composting.

To reduce your waste, the EPA suggests buying reusable or refillable products, buying in bulk

Installation Safety Day highlights safety tips, equipment

By Amanda Stewart Staff writer Live power lines, fire engines, ladder trucks, inert explosives, boats, safety gear and hand washing techniques were just a few of the things on display, May 19 during the Fort Belvoir Installation Safety Day. The annual event, organized

by Belvoir’s safety office, serves as a kick-off to the military’s 101 Critical Days of Summer, an annual campaign to promote summer safety between Memorial Day and Labor Day, said Bridget Smalls, safety specialist.

“Whether people are swimming, riding bicycles or motorcycles, or traveling, we want people to remember safety this summer, wherever they go,” Smalls said.

The event was held at the new motorcycle training center classroom building on 16th Street and began with remarks by U.S. Army Garrison Fort Belvoir Command Sgt. Maj. Scott Guillory.

“Safety on Belvoir is paramount,” Guillory said. “It’s a priority for the command team, but it’s also everyone’s responsibility.”

At the event, Belvoir community members browsed equipment displays and informational booths provided by the Fort Belvoir’s police and fire departments; the 911th Technical Rescue Engineer Company; the 212th Military Police Detachment; the 55th Ordnance Company and more.

John Fasulo, a counter mine instructor for the Army, brought a display of inert explosives, mines and IEDs to the event. Fasulo has taught mine awareness classes for many years and says it is important for people who work with the Army to learn about the different kinds of devices.

“That’s why I do what I do, because it’s important for people do-

Bernie O’Bannon, a safety specialist for Dominion Virginia Power, led a demonstration about the dangers of live power lines.

Dominion workers touched various items, including a hot dog that ignited, to a demonstration live power line to show how dangerous it is to touch or attempt to move a power line.

“The main thing I want you to

take away from this today is stay away from downed power lines ...

They are dangerous. They will kill you,” O’Bannon said.

Fort Belvoir Community Hospital was also on hand to distribute information about infectious diseases and disease control.

Venus Greenfield, with the hospital’s infectious disease control department, helped attendees review their hand-washing skills by instructing them to put their hands in a black light box after washing their hands.

“Usually, people miss spots when they are washing their hands,” Greenfield said. “We’re here to talk about the importance of washing your hands properly.”

Smalls said she hoped community members learned tips to keep safe this summer, and throughout the year.

“Safety is important and we want everyone who works on Belvoir, who visits and who lives here to keep that in mind,” Smalls said.

FBCH defeats WTB 8-4 in softball

By Rick Musselman Sports editor

Fort Belvoir Community Hospital lived up to its legendary reputation for keeping focus sharp and intensity at full steam for the duration of any contest, when it downed the equally tenacious Fort Belvoir Warrior Transition Battalion 8-4 in a close intramural softball match up, May16 at North Post Field.

Taking advantage of clear skies and dry field conditions after weeks of near constant rain, both squads hit the diamond committed to utilizing the experience and talent across their respective rosters to get the 2016 season off in the right direction with a solid win in week 2.

Belvoir Hospital took to the plate at the top of the first inning and got its campaign off to a promising start with base hits from shortstop, Julio Soto; veteran third baseman, Donovan Oxendine; and power-hitting first baseman, Montez Bonner.

Seasoned left fielder, Duane Quaryl; second baseman, Nicole Lara, and pitcher, Vincent Williams, kept the early momentum building with shots up the middle off of WTB pitcher, Sherrie Sanders’ spot-on throws down the pipe.

NGA downs 1st Bn. IO 11-4 in softball

By Rick Musselman Sports editor National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, undeniably one of the finest squads in the Belvoir intramural leagues, employed its tried-and-true blend of powerhitting and surgical execution in the field to maintain its undefeated status at the top of the west division rankings with an 11-4 victory over the 1st Battalion, Information Operations Command, May 19 at Pullen Field.

NGA kicked off the week-2 contest with a sterling exhibition of the precision hitting and daring advances around the bags that have led the unit to countless playoff berths over the years. After having denied their opponents any opportunities with spot-on defensive plays in the top of the opening frame, NGA went to work from the batter’s box. Veteran pitcher, Brett Hurm; third baseman, Nick Dispenza; shortstop, Marc Greene; and designated hitter, Mike Myles, woke the scoreboard up with massive shots to deep center and left field off of IO pitcher, Stanley Collins. Left fielder, Elliot Serpa, another long-standing veteran of the powerhouse squad, See NGA, Page B3

Well, you’ll never believe it, but last week I bought myself a CB radio — weird, huh?

Here’s what happened.

I’ve said a thousand times before what a great era the 1970s were for a kid in the suburbs of Virginia — long before the internet, social media and smart phones made their dubious appearances. While there’s certainly more to choose from now in the entertainment and recreation departments, I’ve always missed the kind of simple nuts-and-bolts approach we had to having fun.

A big part of every weekend for me, once I’d had my fill of baseball, riding bikes or rummaging through the local trash heap, was taking a spin into the back country with my dad in his pickup truck. The best thing about that old Ford F100 was its CB radio on which you could listen in on all variety of fascinating (and often inscrutable) conversations.

Of course, when cell phones became prominent, CBs kind of played out, but I never really stopped thinking about the craze in the 70s when everybody who was anybody owned one. They certainly made long drives and traffic jams more palatable.

Fast forward to last week, when I was online trying to find something cool to install on my already pretty well equipped Jeep.

Lo and behold, I stumbled on CB radios. The first thing I learned (after my shock that somebody still made them) was how cheap they are now. Then I started playing back all those fascinating conversations I’d heard and how long I’d spent learning that “trucker language.”

Then I pressed the “order now” button on the screen.

I’ve had this thing installed now for about a week and I can’t tell you how listening to other people chat has expanded my world. It’s like I’ve stumbled upon a new dimension of reality that the internet and virtual gaming can’t hold a candle to. Already I’ve discovered a new frontier at the edges of the English language — amazing examples of the profane that precede “traffic jam” and “lousy driver.”

At any rate, to this new gadget I can truly give a big 10-4.

Santos succeeded in drilling one down the third base line to bring Lee across, but an ensuing groundout to Lara and a fly grab to Williams put the pressure back on WTB, still trailing 8-4.

WTB’s promising comeback effort came to a sudden end when Oxendine snagged a rocketing line drive down the third base line and brought the curtains down on the contest, granting Belvoir Hospital the 8-4 week-2 victory.

Intramural softball games are played Mondays – Thursdays at Graves Fitness Center and Pullen Fields, starting at 6:15 p.m.

FBCH

From Page B1 shortstop, Manuel Oquendo, and third baseman, Erick Urias, shut the operation down with surgical grounder grabs and scorching throws over to Chris Santos manning the first base bag.

WTB came up short in the next three frames, suffering fly-outs that found the gloves of Quaryl out along the left field fence, and Williams and Oxendine in the infield. But in the bottom of the fourth inning, with FBCH’s lead holding steady with a 4-0 lead, WTB bats came alive and helped narrow the deficit to 4-3 courtesy of screaming hits from Urias; Santos; catcher, Mike Brown; and second baseman, Robert Rivera.

The contest soon transformed into a defensive battle of wills, with both squads repeatedly denying their opponents any and all opportunities with precision in-fielding and aboveand-beyond efforts out in the grass.

In the top of the fifth inning, Bonner ushered in a FBCH scoring rally with a massive shot to the centerfield fence for a double. Soto and Oxendine followed up with a pair of singles that propelled Bonner in.

National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency shortstop, Nick Dispenza, connects for a shot to deep centerfield during his team’s intramural softball match up against 1st Battalion, Information Operations Command, May 19 at Pullen Field.

NGA

From Page B1 added to the onslaught with a long RBI screamer to left. Right centerfielder, Chris Heath, and second baseman, Taylor Cavanaugh, followed up with shots up the middle to bring another two in to establish a solid 4-0 advantage when the IO infield finally got the dust to settle.

Despite their opponents’ early fortunes, IO quickly demonstrated that it had brought its own arsenal of talent to the diamond and used it to the fullest in the top of the second. Shortstop, Marcus Bailey, got NGA’s attention straight away when he belted one to the centerfield fence for an in-the-park homer. First baseman and relief pitcher, Eugene Maggioncalda, then claimed a base with a shot to shallow right for a single, and second baseman, Eric Hill, propelled his teammate to second with a single of his own to left.

Then things got interesting.

With two on, IO power hitter, Travis Harvey, stepped up and drilled a screamer to the left field fence for another homerun that tied the game at 4. Fortunately for NGA, Hurm quieted down the rally by snagging a pair of rocketing line drives, and Serpa followed those up with a grab out in the grass.

The scoreboard quieted down for the next two innings, with both squads employing textbook defense

all over the field. IO third baseman, Tobin Johnson, put an impressive play into his stats when he pinched a hard-charging Dispenza at the bag for the third out of the frame, and Bailey and Hill joined forces with Maggioncalda to execute a pictureperfect double play to bring the fourth inning to a close.

Unfortunately for 1st Battalion, NGA had evidently saved its best for last. Dispenza and Cavanaugh ushered in a scales-tipping hit fest with singles to center that left centerfielder, Clay Castro, punctuated with an RBI double to left. Catcher, Jennifer Belokon, took advantage of an IO fielding error to claim second base off a single down the first base line before designated hitter, Sarah Gamm, sent her teammate to third via a blooper to shallow right. Keeping the late-game burst of momentum alive, Hurm, Serpa, Heath and Greene all added base hits to their game stats and first baseman, Bill Watts, put an exclamation point on the rally with an RBI shot to deep center.

IO finally managed to still the floodwaters with a pair of grabs out in the grass and a grounder conversion between Bailey and Maggioncalda. But the NGA defense made quick work of 1st Battalion’s final at bat, and a trio of pop fly grabs shut down IO’s attempt to regain the upper hand.

Final Score: NGA 11, 1st Battalion, IO 4.

Little League baseball week-5 updates

By Bill Behring Special to the Eagle With near continuous rain forcing cancellation of two weeks’ worth of baseball games, Belvoir’s two Major Division teams, the Giants and Angels, managed to find a window of comparatively dry weather to make up a game.

The Giants landed on the board first, with four runs. With two on, Antron Campbell was issued a base on balls. Marcel Picard then drilled a shot to right field, scoring the three. Marcel, in turn, was driven in when Steven Persons ripped a single to left field. Picard, then on the mound, held the Indians scoreless in their first.

In the second inning, the Giants scored four

more runs without the benefit of a hit.

In the Indians half of the second, Ty Fisher was walked and subsequently scored as Robert Wysocki drilled one to right field for a double. Wysocki was left at third when the inning ended.

The third inning saw a repeat of the first two, as four runs were plated but on only one hit from the bat of Timmy Turner punching it to right centerfield. The Indians were again scoreless in their third, despite two being on by walks. Three consecutive outs followed, one of which was caused by Jacob Murphy who popped up into an infield fly situation.

As is usually the case when this happen, many fans exclaim, “What’s an infield fly?” To briefly explain, when there are runners on first and second

base, or first, second and third, with fewer than two outs, and the batter pops the ball up, he is declared out, even if the ball is not caught. The ball being live, the runners may advance at their own peril.

The reason for the rule is to prevent the defensive team from getting a “cheap” double play. For if it was not there, the fielder could drop the ball on purpose, pick it up and throw to two bases for two outs.

Giants again scored four in the top of the fourth without a hit. The Indians plated two more in their fourth as both Fisher and Wysocki were on with walks, scoring when Brayden Belton singled to left.

After the fourth inning, with a scoring difference greater than 10, the game was called.

Giants took the win 16-3.

SAC students awarded for dedication to fitness

By Rick Musselman Sports editor

One hundred twenty-five Fort Belvoir children were recognized Monday at the Markham School Age Center for completing the Presidential Active Lifestyle challenge, a nationwide program that invites children to commit to regular exercise and maintain healthy habits for an eight-week period.

According to Julie Libert, Fort Belvoir Child, Youth and School Services Health and Sports assistant director, the program gives children a chance to establish physical fitness early in their lives.

“The Presidential Active Lifestyle is geared toward younger children and teens who want to set themselves on the road to a healthier life through physical activity and healthy food choices,” she said. “The participants commit to physical activity for 60 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, for eight weeks. They could choose all kinds of activities to meet their goal— running, walking, stretching, step-

ping, basketball, dancing, swimming and so on.”

Libert added that participants were required to report on their development and levels of improvement at the start of each week.

“They kept track of their progress by filling out an activity log every day for a week and then turned it in for a new one on Mondays,” she said. “Once they turned their logs in, their progress was posted on the bulletin board by the front office in the School Age Center that would show everyone how they were doing.”

Libert said the award recipients put in a lot of effort and determination to make it through the Challenge. For some of them, staying in the program was a particular challenge, in that they were also involved in other sports activities during the same time period.

Many children at Fort Belvoir are involved in sports that require exercise. That kind of workout time counts toward meeting the Active Lifestyle requirement of being active for five

Bike ride highlights ‘sharing the road’

By Amanda Stewart Staff writer As part of Installation Safety Day, May 19 a group of cyclists participated in a Bicycle Safety Awareness ride around the installation.

The group, including U.S. Army Garrison Fort Belvoir Command Sgt. Maj. Scott Guillory, was led by members of the Fairfax County Police Department’s bicycle patrol team. They rode an eight-mile route around the installation as part of an effort to remind everyone to “Share the Road,” said safety specialist Bridget Smalls.

“We want to remind people to use the proper equipment when they are riding bicycles and to remind everyone, bicyclists and drivers, to share the road,” Smalls said.

The safety office also hosted a “pit stop” for cyclists outside Walker Gate, May 20 for Bike to Work Day and as part of Fairfax County’s

Share the Road campaign.

Sharing the Road in Virginia, a Northern Virginia Regional Commission campaign, offers the following safety tips for bicyclists and motorists to safely share the road:

• Obey all traffic signs, signals, lights and markings • Ride on the right side, with traffic • When turning, use motor vehicle turn lane • Stay as far to the right as you safely can or use the shoulder • Ride no more than two side by side • Ride single file when moving slower than traffic • Obey signs that restrict riding on interstate highways and limited access roads • Yield to pedestrians • When riding on the sidewalk, call to pedes-

trians when approaching from behind and to pass, and give right of way to pedestrians • Use hand signals for turns and stops • Use white headlamps visible to 500 feet, rear reflectors and a red taillight when bicycling between sunset and sunrise • Don’t wear earphones in both ears

Motorists

• Approach and pass bicyclists at a reasonable speed • Allow at least two feet, preferably three feet or more at higher speeds, between you and bicyclists when passing • Yield to pedestrians and bicyclists in a crosswalk • When turning, yield to pedestrians and bicyclists For more information and safety tips, visit sharevaroads.org.

Auditor General presents leadership awards on Belvoir

By Amanda Stewart Staff writer The Auditor General presented awards to 31 of the agency’s employees at the Auditor General 2015 Leadership Awards ceremony, May 18 at the Fort Belvoir Officers’ Club.

The awardees, selected from 532 Army Audit Agency employees, were nominated by their co-workers or supervisors in one of four categories, motivation, team-building, communication and innovation expertise.

Acting Secretary of the Army Patrick J. Murphy attended the ceremony, along with many of the awardees’ family and friends, who traveled from throughout the country to attend.

“It’s a great day for our agency and it’s one of those events that not only reminds me of why we do what we do, but how very well our agency employees do it,” Randall L. Exley, the Auditor General, said.

Exley praised the awardees, and all of the agency’s employees for the work they do to improve efficiency and to help the Army better serve Soldiers and their families.

“We at the Army Audit Agency don’t engage in combat, but our audits help ensure Soldiers are trained and equipped for the job and have the technological edge to be better. We don’t fire weapons, but we make sure the weapons developed for our Soldiers are bought efficiently, operate properly, are tested well, logistically supported and work when needed,” Exley said.

Exley said that the agency’s work has “helped the Army save billions of dollars … that can be used for Soldiers’ and their families’ needs.”

“In fact, our agency identifies about $2 billion every year that the Army can use for other purposes and to meet Soldiers’ needs,” Exley said.

In addition to the TAG award, the awardees received either the Commander’s Award for Civilian Service, for first-time awardees; or the Superior Civilian Service Award, for repeat recipients.

Military kids can enter to win $500 Exchange gift card Exchange public affairs Military kids will have the chance to fill their toy boxes with something this summer, thanks to the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s 2016 Toyland Sweepstakes.

Through June 17, children of authorized Exchange customers can submit in 10 words or less what it means to them to be a “military brat” at www.shopmyexchange.com/ sweepstakes. Children who enter must be between ages 3 and 12.

One first-place winner gets a $500 Exchange gift card and a caricature drawn by the Exchange’s inhouse artist. The caricature will be put in the 2016 Toyland toy book, promotional materials for Month of the Military Child in April and a variety of other marketing materials next year. A second-place winner gets

a $250 Exchange gift card, and third place gets a $100 Exchange gift card.

The Exchange’s 2016 Toyland toy book is the Exchange’s holiday toy guide, with toys available in-store and online.

“Changing schools, friends and surroundings so often isn’t easy for military children,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Sean Applegate, Exchange senior enlisted adviser. “One of the few constants in their lives are the toys they carry with them from duty station to duty station. That’s why we want our smallest shoppers to have the opportunity to participate in this worldwide event to celebrate summer savings, fun and, of course, toys.”

An in-house panel will judge the written submissions on or by July 22. No purchase is necessary to enter or win.

Sweet! Military shoppers can win Exchange gift cards Exchange public affairs Military shoppers can savor the sweet taste of victory with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s latest sweepstakes, which puts $3,000 in prizes in winners’ hands.

Through July 7, authorized shoppers worldwide can enter the Airheads/Mentos Sweepstakes at www. shopmyexchange.com/sweepstakes.

Prizes include: • A $1,000 Exchange gift card

• Two $500 Exchange gift cards • Four $250 Exchange gift cards “Seven lucky shoppers will walk away winners this summer — and that’s a pretty sweet deal,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Sean Applegate, the Exchange’s senior enlisted adviser. “Treating our Soldiers, Airmen, families and retirees to prizes is our way of acknowledging all they do for our country.”

No purchase is necessary to enter the sweepstakes. Winners will

be drawn on or about July 14.

The Army & Air Force Exchange Service goes where Soldiers, Airmen and their families go to improve the quality of their lives through goods and services provided. Exchange earnings provide dividends to support military morale, welfare and recreation programs. The Exchange, part of the DoD, is directed by a board of directors, responsible to the Secretaries of the Army and Air Force through the Chiefs of Staff.

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. The ideal candidate will have some business-to-business sales experience, but it does not necessarily have to be in the media industry. More critical skills are a willingness to call on new businesses and an ability to make persuasive presentations.

DIGITAL MEDIA ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE: We’re seeking a digitally-savvy salesperson to work with local businesses on online marketing efforts, ranging from website development to display advertising, text messaging and social media management. You’ll build a list of your own accounts as well as become an in-house digital expert for other account executives. This position requires a fundamental knowledge of digital advertising and marketing, an ability to make persuasive presentations, and a willingness to call on new businesses.

Both positions are full-time and offer 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.

To apply for either position, send resume and brief cover letter to Bruce Potter at bpotter@Insidenova.com.

Application deadline is June 1.
