Academic program could boost Soldier retention Garrison sees change in enlisted leader

Credentialing, along with changes to promotion boards, helps ensure the best are promoted and retained By Joe Lacdan Army News Service

he Army could add to its record retention numbers by providing more incentive for Soldiers to stay on duty, the service’s top enlisted leader said. The Army has been testing a pilot program for academic credentialing at Fort Hood, Texas, and plans to extend the program to several major installations by the end of 2019, said Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel Dailey. The Army plans to spread the program to all installations in fiscal year 2020. Recently, the Army provided 110 A5 A2 A4

bachelor’s degrees to senior NCOs who attended the Sergeants Major Academy at Fort Bliss, Texas. Dailey said the Army will provide Soldiers with some college credit or professional credentialing for each level of NCO training. “The expectation is we give something back for that service,” Dailey said at an Association of the U.S. Army breakfast in Washington, D.C. “Not just be able to say that you served and sacrificed, but (getting) tangible results. That’s what we owe to the American people–is a better product, to be more productive in their hometowns.” Dailey said the Army has been working out the finer points of the program to ensure higher quality training for Service members and deciding how agencies will get payment. The program will also be available to National Guard and Army Reserve members. Dailey said the Army has been A6

HOUSING INFORMATION Compiled by USAG Fort Belvoir Public Affairs

Garrison hosting residents at Town Hall Tuesday Discussion of improvements, future benchmarks expected By Paul Lara Belvoir Eagle

ort Belvoir Garrison hosts a Quarterly Housing Town Hall at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at Thurman Auditorium to update residents about the progress of safety and housing improvements since a May Town Hall and outline existing challenges and plans of action to ensure every home and barracks meets acceptable standards.

Since February, Belvoir has been part of an Army-wide initiative to identify housing issues, with the highest priority on problems affecting life, health and safety, including removing Soldiers and Families in homes with mold or lead paint, while crews eliminate the identified hazards. The heightened tempo of activity required new channels of communication, including a special Garrison Commander’s Housing Hot-

line for residents to communicate concerns directly to leadership. Garrison Commander Col. Michael Greenberg told residents in May that he personally reviews emergency work orders. The Michaels Organization also created an online portal for residents to report problems, send a photo of the issue, and get notification of maintenance timelines. All residents are welcome to attend.

Army urges caution, vigilance in cyberspace Think before you click or share information By Rick Musselman Belvoir Eagle During August, the Army observes Antiterrorism Awareness Month—the annual call to action for Soldiers, Army civilians, retirees and Family members to recognize the dangers posed by terrorism and to be prepared to help combat terrorism. Perhaps the most active and pernicious “battlefields” in today’s global climate is cyberspace, and the fact the world is so comprehensively connected through the internet indicates the critical need for safeguards to protect national security and our own privacy and interests.

Social networking can be dangerous According to the National Security Agency, social networking sites promote social behavior and encourage users to share information and inherently trust the information from those they are connected to within the network. In fact, social networking sites can present an operations security risk to military units and a direct risk to people. When information is posted onto a social networking site, it should no longer be considered private.

The basics Individual social media users can help minimize these threats, said Mark Aaron, U.S. Army

Cyber Command antiterrorism officer. “Basic cyber security doesn’t have to take a great deal of effort,” Aaron said. “Always use antivirus software, network firewalls and wireless router passwords. And, disconnect from the internet when not in use. Back up your computer regularly; restrict access to its accounts; delete email from unknown sources; and use hard-to-guess passwords and keep them private. Never provide personal information like Social Security or credit card numbers, birth dates, etc., with non-secure and unfamiliar web sites.”

Did you know? “A family’s posts to keep friends up-to-date on their vacation led to their home being burglarized while they were away,” Aaron said. “New computer viruses and Trojans that successfully target information on social networking sites are on the rise, and information on social networking sites has led to people losing job offers, getting fired, and even being arrested. Social networking sites have become a haven for identity thieves and con artists trying to use your information against you; and several kidnapping, rape and murder cases have been linked to social networking sites, where the victims first connected with their attackers. According to the al-Qaida handbook, terrorists

search online for data about government personnel and all matters related to them. “Adversaries prefer easy targets. Keep your computer security up-to-date and make yourself a hard target,” Aaron added. “Never log in from risky public locations and don’t depend on social media sites for confidentiality: Even social media sites that aren’t publicly open by design can become so due to hacking, security errors and poor data-management practices. In some cases, a site’s terms of service explicitly gives the site ownership of all your posted content. Treat links and files carefully. Social engineers and hackers often post links in comments that try to trick people into downloading an update, security patch, or game.” These are just a few precautions to keep our online activities secure.

PRINCE WILLIAN COUNTY FAIR

Chaplains remain vital to the mission after 244 years By Paul Lara Belvoir Eagle

eadquarters Battalion made the most of its Summer Bash by combining the fun-filled event with the 244th Anniversary of the Army Chaplains Corps, Friday in Specker Field House. “I want to congratulate the Chaplain Corps – 244 years. You guys don’t look a year over 200,” Battalion Commander Lt. Col. Andrew Wilbraham, said. “The Chaplain Corps was kind enough to allow us to combine these events, and this is for the Soldiers. You work hard every day, and don’t always get the recognition you deserve, so we put this together for you.” Garrison Chaplain Col. Robert Hart invited the youngest Religious Affairs Specialist, Specialist Ian Hovey, and Father Col. Joe Fluery as the oldest representative to help cut the birthday cake. Installation Management Command Chaplain Col. Yvonne Hudson reminded the attendees the Chaplains Corps was founded on July 29, 1775, when the Continental Congress authorized one chaplain for each regiment in the Continental Army. “General George Washington believed that ministers in the Army would ensure God’s providence, protection and favor, in combat. He wanted ministers to encourage, console and support the Soldiers. He also wanted his chaplains to be physical, moral and ethical reminders of the family and the community they left behind,” said Hudson. She said chaplains have not wavered from Washington’s original intent. “We nurture the living, care for the wounded, and honor the fallen. Chaplains do not perform this mission alone. We are joined by religious affairs specialists; fellow Soldiers; directors of religious education; civilians; over 14,000 volunteers in IMCOM; countless private organizations and, of course, our very precious Family members.”

From Garrison, page A1 Perry continued by saying Belvoir garrison has the best directors and civilian workforce within IMCOM. “Garrison operations are not something a Soldier is taught. The ability to take an MI (military intelligence) Soldier who knew nothing about installation operations and give him enough information to make me dangerous speaks volumes on your capability and professionalism,” he told the directors and workforce. “Without your patience and leadership, I would not be where I am today.”

CSM lauds staff professionalism Perry commended garrison teams for their efforts in several major events on Fort Belvoir, including Oktoberfests; Smucker’s Mission Breakfast; NFL Play football camp; the Lt. Dan Band, and the Maddie and Tae Concert. “These events spanned the entire garrison and it took a team from each and every directorate and special staff to make these events successful,” Perry said. He also had high regards for the Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security, who he called the workhorse of the installation. “From set up to tear down, they ensure every event is professional, which highlights the best of the installaPhoto by Paul Lara tion,” he said.

Soldier going for eSports title NCO takes on world’s best in online gaming By Rick Musselman Sports Editor

ne of Fort Belvoir’s own is competing on a team of fellow Service members in a major eSports video-gaming event. Earlier this year, Sgt. Michael Torelli, Troop Command-South Battalion Retention NCO, and four Army teammates—Maj. Travis Pagan; Staff Sgt. Johnpaul Taylor; Staff Sgt. Matthew Graham and Sgt. Jorge Clavell-Cruz—earned a spot to compete in the Mythic Dungeon International - World of Warcraft Tournament. The team has continued to advance in the competition that culminates with the global finals, scheduled for October or November. Simply, eSports is competition using video games. Most commonly, eSports takes the form of organized, multiplayer video game competitions, particularly between professional players, individually or as teams.

A little known Army program The Army’s eSports program is an Army Recruiting Command outreach effort designed to connect the Army and the American population through a shared passion for gaming, said Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Jones, program NCOIC. “Gaming as a medium has been growing consistently,” Jones said. “Soldiers have grown up as gamers long before they joined the Army. We’re actually putting a light on the gaming community, itself, showing it’s not just a specific kind of person who plays video games. Everybody can enjoy this medium together, and it is a great way to grow the community at large.”

Mythic Dungeon challenges Army’s best The Mythic Dungeon International, or MDI, where Torelli and his teammates are competing, is a global program that pits the best Mythic Dungeon teams from across the world in a head-to-head race to the finish line. Teams are divided into two global divisions, playing against other teams in their division during two seasons throughout the year. The top teams from both divisions clash twice throughout the year, with only one team taking home the title of Mythic Dungeon Champions. Out of the 1,400 active-duty gamers signed up to compete in the U.S.

Army eSports discord, Torelli and his team were the only qualified candidates to earn a spot to compete in the time trial events by completing a set number of dungeons in an allotted amount of time during a two-week window. “The time trial is a unique event in regards to the amount of time you have to practice,” Torelli said. “The dungeons we are going to be competing in are released on Thursday each week of the competition. During that point, we are allowed to run the dungeon as many times as we want to practice and clean up our run times, making them as fast as possible. On Saturday, the event begins allowing us only five attempts at three unique and different dungeons with different affixes. After the time trials are completed the top eight teams are then selected to compete in the MDI Cup.

Gaming a growing phenomenon “During the first and second MDI Cup, more than 330,000 people watched the Twitch streams that were broadcasted that Saturday and Sunday,” Torelli added. “Overcoming limited playtime and practice time (only on weekends when our Families would allow us) the Army eSports team qualified and is currently competing in the MDI. “During our first week of the time trial … with zero practices … we ranked 50th out of 129 in America. (During) our second week of the time trials, also with zero practice, we ranked 12th in America.” As of this writing, Torelli and his team are engaged in the next level of competition. “Currently, the team has another tournament (this week). If we qualify, based off of our standings from that, we’ll be eligible for the MDI Cup Saturday and Sunday,” he said. “After that, the next dates for the tournament are Aug. 15-20.” The Belvoir Eagle will provide an update on Torelli’s team tournament results when available.

First Responders meet with Families at National Night Out By Paul Lara Belvoir Eagle

etting to know your neighbors and surroundings creates a safer community. That is why Pullen Field was glistening with police lights and the sound of sirens, as Families stopped by Tuesday to visit Fort Belvoir responders during National Night Out. Fort Belvoir Police Chief Johnnie Kibler said a first encounter with police should not be a tense, confrontational moment, and National Night Out is designed to bring police and communities together under positive circumstances. “The more that the community sees law enforcement and they meet them in nonconfrontational situations, the better. This allows us to build a level of trust with the community and deal with them in a friendly atmosphere and let them know we’re here to help,” Kibler said.

Families visit sponsoring organizations at National Night Out on Pullen Field, Tuesday.

Garrison commander vs. military working dog Garrison commander Col. Michael Greenberg and Command Sgt. Maj. Jason Young were also on hand to thank everyone for attending. Unlike most communities which limit the event to police, Fort Belvoir’s NNO includes other first responders. The garrison commander donned a bite suit for the military working dog demonstration, and took off in a futile sprint, as Megan, a military working dog, did her job and took him down. Good girl, Megan!

Planning a PCS to Fort Belvoir? Be sure to budget, expect surprises by Paul Lara Belvoir Eagle

Budget for relocation

CSing and moving your personal possessions is already stressful, but it can be worse if you fail to plan for the difference in housing costs, according to the Financial Readiness Program Manager with Fort Belvoir Army Community Service. Michelle Godfrey says there are a couple entitlements to plan on, starting with DLA, or dislocation allowance, knowing what your per-diem rates will be for lodging, meals and food during the move. Godfrey also advises that you can get an understanding of the difference in housing costs by examining the rates for Basic Allowance for Housing at your destination. “It’s important when viewing the BAH rates, which are published on the net, to use the ZIP code of the installation you are going to. It will give you a good idea what to expect to pay for rent, and what you can afford if you’re going to purchase a home,” Godfrey said. Godfrey cited an example that if your BAH is going to jump from $500 to $2500, that is reflective of the much higher housing costs you’ll encounter. Some of the most important discussions before a move involve conversations with your sponsor, who can clue you in to housing costs, which, in the National Capital Region, means less expensive the farther south you go from Fort Belvoir into Prince William County, and more expensive as you head north into Springfield and Alexandria.

Godfrey recommends Soldiers maintain a relocation budget that includes one month’s rent and a deposit of the same amount, as well as potential deposits for utilities. Don’t forget to budget for groceries and some items for the home you’ll need to get started. Add to that any possible pet fees and up to $50 per adult in rental application fees. “In this area, it can run from $4,000 to $6,000,” Godfrey said. “I recommend that people create your own PCS account, so you can cover some of those costs prior to your BAH changes taking effect, since there is a lag in that reimbursement.”

Inbound and outbound tips About 90 days before a move make sure to do an assessment of your apartment or house and what you may be responsible for, such as carpet cleaning, painting and touching up nail holes. Godfrey said it’s important to know if you will have additional moving costs with enough time to procure the funds. According to Headquarters Battalion Command Sgt. Maj Robert Cleveland, the two most important points are getting to Military Personnel Division, which welcomes you on post, and getting to your finance appointment. “Your BAH drastically changes from pretty much anywhere else in the United States, and they can help you get squared away from the beginning,” he said.

Defense Threat Reduction Agency makes Aerospace Data Facility-East latest By Rick Musselman victim Sports Editor By Rick Musselman Sports Editor

Despite sweltering heat, humidity and approaching thunderstorms, undefeated Defense Threat Reduction Agency kept bats con-

necting and runners rounding the bags through four innings, to trounce Aerospace Data FacilityEast, 15-0, in a late-season, intramural softball matchup, July 2 at Graves Field. DTRA, one of the ablest softball squads in Belvoir’s intramurals league, claiming more championship titles, and Commander’s Cup trophies than any other unit on the installation came to Graves Field with a roster full of veteran athletes

ort Belvoir community members and mission-partner personnel got a rare chance to get in an early morning workout with senior Army and garrison leaders, July 30 at Specker Field House, during a Functional Fitness class. Nearly 100 installation employees spent an hour working their muscles with Maj. Gen. Omar Jones, the new Joint Force Headquarters/National Capital Region and Military District of Washington commanding general; and Col. Michael Greenberg, Fort Belvoir Garrison commander.

Functional Fitness Benefits All The Functional Fitness series is a specialized exercise program, offered in six-week cycles throughout the year, which focuses on total-body conditioning through cardio, aerobics and core strength conditioning. There are lunchtime sessions on select days for Service members and civilians looking to take a midday break from duties and office tasks to stay Army Strong. Through dynamic training, metabolic conditioning and extreme training, this Army-wide program engages military personnel and civilians in strenuous physical activity during 60-minute sessions. For Soldiers, Functional Fitness focuses on developing skills they can use to increase operational readiness and performance by emphasizing mobility, strength, restoration and energy-system development. The aim of this special session was to allow garrison employees to train Photos by Rick Musselman with upper Army leadership and showcase Belvoir’s fitness program.

Army’s going. Since the early 1980s, the Army did the Army Physical Fitness Test and in the morning we did pushups, sit ups and we ran. “The new Combat Fitness Test really is a test the Army wants you to train for. You’ll get better holistic fitness and, for the uniformed folks, the things you’re going to get good at, physically, are the things Soldiers are asked to do in combat,” Jones said. “So, a workout like this is exactly what the Army needs us to do to prevent injuries and get into absolutely fantastic muscular and cardiovascular shape. “I know this isn’t easy; it requires a lot of hours, a lot of effort and a lot of commitment from each and every one of you.

Commander’s Cup title race enters final stretch Defense Logistics Agency leads pack by big margin By Rick Musselman Sports Editor DLA forward, Mark Loman, goes up for the shot as JPPSO defender, Reginald Hawkins, applies the pressure during the FY19 intramural basketball championship final, Feb. 28 at Wells Field House. DLA took the runner-up trophy in the hoops final, but leads the overall Commander’s Cup title race by 36 points.

ith the final stretch of the FY19 Commander’s Cup race fast approaching, it’s time, once again, to take a look at the overall rankings picture and identify the major contenders. As is the case with most Fort Belvoir Commander’s Cup title runs, the Big Five—Defense Logistics Agency, 249th Engineer Battalion, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Fort Belvoir Community Hospital and U.S. Army Legal Services Agency—started 2019 as the undisputed favorites. And, at this point in the schedule, those units occupy the top five slots. After evaluating the numbers, however, the big question is: can anyone catch up to DLA—a unit that has steadily risen up through the standings over the last five years. Having already claimed the first-place trophies in racquetball and tennis; runner-up distinctions in basketball and volleyball; and third-place finishes in Formation Run, soccer and softball, DLA is sitting firmly at the top of the heap, with 158 points. The nearest opponent to this powerhouse squad is the 249th Engineer Battalion, currently carrying 122 points, after taking first place in the Formation Run and varsity softball; second-place in flag football; and fielding enough athletes in each sport to earn consistent participation points. Despite standing as one of the most dedicated units on post, in terms of determination and focus (and the solid performances across the spectrum of athletics that have resulted), the Engineers are still 36 points behind the defending champions.

DTRA, FBCH and USALSA have yet to break 100 Like last year, the softball season looked to be a potential rankings game changer, at least with respect to the second- , third- and fourth-place slots. DTRA, entering the post-season with an impressive, 11-1 record, was poised take a massive step forward with a championship win on the ball diamond, and the fifth-seeded 249th Engineers (8-4) entered the tournament series riding a crest of momentum after a string of late-season wins. However, the 249th was eliminated in the quarterfinal round by the colossus 911th Technical Rescue Engineer Battalion, and both FBCH and USALSA suffered elimination in the opening rounds. DTRA, despite a tantamount effort, fell in the championship final to 911th TREC, which claimed its third softball trophy in as many years. DTRA’s second-place finish and the 249th Engineer Battalions quarterfinal elimination gave DLA some breathing room. Still, it’s conceivable the 249th could unleash some serious performances in bowling, golf, swimming and the cross-country run and narrow the gap for a singular upset title win. But, if history is any indication of outcomes, the 249th will have its work cut out for it. DLA has won the last two bowling tournaments, the last two golf titles and took the runner-up trophy in the FY18 swim meet. For information about Fort Belvoir’s intramural sports program and the annual Commander’s Cup title race, call Justin Fitzgerald, league coordinator, 703-806-5093. Athletes can also contact their unit representative to sign up and for schedules.
