eadiness and health are intimately intertwined. Being medically ready is critical for deployable Soldiers who need to be ready to fight and win today’s wars.

gt. 1st Class Jay Martin, a trumpet player in the Army’s Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, openly admits he was never really athletic. “I was not athletic until my mid-forties and I started racing BMX bicycles, believe it or not,” said Martin. Biking was his new hobby until an accident Jan. 6, 2018, at an indoor bike park. Martin knew immediately on impact that his legs were not going to be the same. After immediate surgery he learned he would never walk again. As he transitioned through the Warrior Transition Battalion at Fort Belvoir, he decided not to give up on biking and used it in his adaptive reconditioning. “Hand cycling is different, be-

cause your arms are not your legs –it’s all arms and upper body. I’m pretty much limited from the chest up. It’s hard, but once I got fitted in the bike, I realized I have to get in there and keep going, because practice makes perfect,” said Martin. He won a bronze medal for his classification in hand cycling for Team Army at this year’s Department of Defense Warrior Games in Tampa. Martin knew about the games before his accident but now realized he could participate. He explains why he believes the Warrior Games are important. “Just like sports are important for kids with developing personality and growth, sports at this point for injured or handicapped individuals is the same kind of thing . . . it shapes development and helps you

Col. Michael Greenberg, Garrison commander, discusses Fort Belvoir housing concerns with Secretary of the Army, Hon. Ryan D. McCarthy; Sgt. Maj. of the Army, Michael A. Grinston; and Senator Tim Kaine during their visit with families on Ft. Belvoir, Va., Monday.

to ensure each installation has the necessary government housing personnel to implement thorough oversight and planning measures. Kaine admitted there are challenges, but noted that if the NDAA passes, the reforms put into place become law. “That will give the military significantly more tools to use in exercising oversight over the housing partners. The military has already started to do some good work. Part of this abdication in the past was the incentive payments that were just being paid to the contractors, even if they weren’t doing a good job,” he said.

Outcome-based incentives McCarthy agreed, and said business is about incentives, and that those incentives need realignment. “The formula for incentives has to align to the outcomes you want. You have to put business systems in place to manage and oversee the progress – a lot of that wasn’t there,” the secretary said. “Over the last 9 months, we’ve developed these; we’ve delegated the appropriate authorities to drive towards the outcomes you want. There’s physics involved to see whether or not they work. In the event they don’t work, we’ll make those changes.” “I would say the message to residents is that the pain you’re experiencing in your own life – and especially with your kids and your Families – is making a big impression on us,” Kaine added. “The reforms we’re making stem directly from the conversations you’re having with us, and so you need to keep communicating, so we can know whether they’re working or not, or whether we need to do different things.” Kaine said one of his provisions in the NDAA is a 100 percent, noexcuse standard, for a checklist of transitioning homes between families – something that garrison leadership has already established on Belvoir. “The other thing that’s going to be absolutely critical is the continued involvement of military families and letting us know what the issue is,” Kaine noted. “(Belvoir Garrison commander) Colonel Greenberg and I were talking about a Belvoir family housing network of about 350 people on Facebook that share stories. One of the families we met with today said, ‘we wouldn’t have known what to do with our problem, had we not talked to one of the members of this informal advocacy group and they helped walk us through what we needed to do.’” “We’re going to continue to need our military Families and organizations coming to hearings and raising this issue before us – that’s why we’re getting some of the progress we’re getting, because of the push we’re getting from these military families. We need to thank them for that, because they’ll keep us on task.” McCarthy said new processes will take time to put in place and formalize, and may take weeks or months, in some cases, to change. “That’s a tough place to be when you’re displaced and you’re living in a hotel. We know that, and that’s what’s hard about this … the physics involved with making these changes, and why I keep coming back to the senator’s comment – a day feels like a week when you’re in that situation,” McCarthy said. “We’re trying to move as quickly as we can, but we won’t know for a little while until we have the opportunity to evaluate those adjustments and whether or not it’s made the changes we expect.”

National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month Fort Belvoir Army Substance Abuse Program observes the National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month Campaign during December to reduce the number of alcohol- and drug-related traffic violations in and around the community. Drug-impaired driving is dangerous and can cause devastating harm to others. According to 2017 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics, 45% of the drivers killed in a fatal crash, who were tested for drugs, tested positive. If you are going to celebrate with alcohol, have a designated driver. Only use medications as prescribed. The goal is to see drivers arrive safely to their travel destinations. Also, the ASAP Program has partnered with the Washington Regional Alcohol Program to distribute flyers and cards to the community. The WRAP offers free rides home, up to a $15 fare, from 10 p.m.-4 a.m., nightly from Dec. 20 to Jan. 1. For more information, visit SoberRide, www.soberride.com, or contact the Belvoir ASAP Prevention Coordinator, 703-805-1010.

This application provides a fully automated, medical readiness picture to the commander, enhancing the ability to make an informed deployability determination on his/her Soldiers,” said Green. The portal also facilitates communication between commanders and providers through a messaging application, and allows commanders to address the unit’s medical readiness in a timely manner. Maj. Duane Thomas, chief nurse officer in charge, said Service members can call 571-231-7334 to reach central scheduling. There, they can explain the type of exam they need, and which National Capital Region clinic they want to use. “The only thing the Service member has to do is to complete the online survey, ideally, before calling for the appointment. This is needed because support staff are required to complete a record review prior to your appointment and cannot access it without the online assessment,” he said.

Keep holiday spending in check  By Rick Musselman Belvoir Eagle

hile the holidays may be a joyous time for many, sometimes the season can bring along financial stressors that can be overwhelming. From holiday travel, gift shopping, to meal preparations and even hosting holiday festivities, this time of year can leave people financially overextended and emotionally exhausted. Fortunately, Belvoir’s Financial Readiness Program offers tips to stay within our budgets and avoid piling on high interest rate balances on credit cards.

Avoid debt “Try to stay away from credit card spending, using emergency funds, and taking out loans to purchase gifts, which can cause additional stress long after the holiday season is over,” said Taneshia Gray, Army Community Service. “Set a practical limit for holiday purchases to include miscellaneous expenses. Plan for your ‘needs’ and not your ‘wants.’” Gray said it’s also a good idea to put a little money aside before the “spending season” begins and keep an eye out for deals earlier in the year. “Establish a special savings account now to prepare for holiday expenses next year and purchase holiday gifts throughout the year during major sale events.”

Get creative, keep perspective

Photo by Capt. Chad Nixon

“If you’re creative and specialize in certain crafts, consider making holiday gifts yourself,” Gray said. “And, remind yourself that the holidays are not about

gift giving, but spending time with loved ones. If you usually host holiday parties, maybe this year, consider attending one instead. Another option—instead of buying gifts for everyone—is to consider playing Secret Santa with friends and family to decrease the amount of gifts you would normally have to buy. Also, avoid buying gift cards as gifts. Research indicates that people spend more with them, because gift cards are associated with a dollar amount.”

ACS here for you “Fort Belvoir Army Community Service has a wealth of resources and programs to help military families this time of year,” Gray said. “Such programs include the Financial Readiness Program, Employment Readiness Program, and Family Advocacy Program. Come over and sit with a personal financial counselor to get a handle on your current financial situation and master budgeting for, not only just the holidays, but future finances, as well. Work with the financial counselor to develop a spending plan for the holiday season, to ensure you don’t accumulate more debt.” The Fort Belvoir Financial Readiness Program is a resource for information on money matters; financial topics like military pay, checkbook and debit card management; financial responsibility; credit reporting; debt elimination strategies; saving, investing and budgeting. For information about the FRP, call 571-231-7025.

How to keep pets safe during the holidays Water additives to trees: Hazards, including aspirin or sugar, can be potentially fatal for pets. Ornaments: Broken ornaments can cause injury and ingested ornaments can cause foreign body obstruction, toxicity or severe gastroenteritis. Keep homemade ornaments, especially those made from dough, high and away from pets. Tinsel, strings: These can be tempting for pets to eat, resulting in a linear (bunching) obstruction of a dog or cat’s small intestines. Without immediate surgical correction, the tinsel or string will rip through the intestines and cause death. Electric lights: These can cause electrocution, burns and/or lifethreatening, pulmonary edema in a pet’s lungs. Be sure to unplug electric decorations while you are not around, as pets can often chew the cords. Flowers, festive plants: Mistletoe; pine; cedar; holly; and poinsettias can be dangerous and poisonous to pets that eat them. We recommend printing out a list of plants that are toxic to your pets, so you can avoid having them in your home. Lists of what is toxic for dogs and cats are available from aspca.org.

Pets can unwittingly get themselves in trouble during the holiday season. A few simple precautions can keep your pet safe and healthy. By Capt. William Ciancarelli Fort Belvoir Veterinary Center

n this second in a series of information about pet safety, this information, from the Belvoir Veterinary Center, details the dangers of pets and holiday decorations.

Christmas trees: Sometimes, pets can make hazards for us, by trying to climb Christmas trees or break ornaments. Consider having your tree tied down to a ceiling or door frame.

Candles: For your family’s safety at home, never leave a pet alone with a lit candle, as it could result in a fire. Potpourris: Liquid potpourris have essential oils and cationic detergents that can severely harm a pet’s mouth, eyes and skin. If you expect to host guests this season, keep an eye on the front and back doors as guests enter or leave the house, as pets may get out and become lost. Ensure identification tags and microchips are on/in your pets, as microchips are often are how lost pet parents get reunited with their owners. Pet owners who are unsure if their pet has a microchip can find out through a visit to the Vet Center and microchips are easily implanted during appointments. During parties and all the time, trash should be kept in a closed container or in a hard-to-reach area, away from pets.

New law removes limits on Veterans Affairs home loans Defense Department Office of Financial Readiness

ave time and money when you are ready to buy a home. Turn to the Department of Veterans Affairs, or VA. Its new website is a one-stop shop for information and updates on benefits you may qualify to receive as an active-duty Service member. People who visit the site can find facts about VA-backed home loans and eligibility requirements. With a VA loan, you can finance up to 100 percent of your purchase price and get into your new home with little or no money down. Beginning Jan. 1, a new law, Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act of 2019, removes all VA limits on the amount that qualifying buyers can borrow with no money down. The limit is currently $484,350 for a single-family house in a typical county in the U.S. Buyers still have to meet their lenders’ income, credit and other requirements. To get a VA home loan, Service members must complete a fourstep process. • Select the type of housing benefit. • Complete a Certificate of Eligibility for Home Loan application, or COE. • Include supporting documents. • Submit the claim. The COE is vital to the home-loan process. It allows users to calculate their VA home loan benefits and entitlements. The COE verifies to the home loan lender that you are eligible for a VA-backed loan. Let the VA and the Department of Defense Office of Financial Readiness help you take advantage of your military benefits.

Exchange celebrates 50-year employee By Margaret Steele Belvoir Eagle

evin Gaquin started working for the Exchange during the Vietnam War. At the time, depending on when a man’s birthday was, companies might not want to hire, thinking they’d invest in training and then the young man would be called up to for duty. But, Gaquin was told ‘the Photo by Margaret Steele post was hiring,’ and applied to work for the Exchange in 1969. Ray Estes, left, from the Exchange; Kevin Gaquin, who works in the Belvoir Last month, 50 years later, the Exchange recognized his five Exchange Facilities Maintenance decades of work. Office; and Michael Smietana, from Gaquin received coins the Exchange, celebrate Gaquin’s 50 from the Exchange’s director years of working for the Exchange on and chief operating officer, Fort Belvoir. through Michael Smietana, the Exchange’s senior vice president of real estate. “Thank you for your service, not only to AAFES, but the Department of Defense and all the customers around the world,” Smietana told Gaquin. “I don’t think you realize how much you touch customers around the world. You inspire people. Hard work is an example for others and every bit of your service is greatly appreciated.” Gaquin, who works in the organization’s facilities maintenance office, said what he likes about the job is that every day is different, even if it means having to work longer to get a task done. The 50-year employee’s advice for those entering the workforce? “Find a job you’re going to like, so you can enjoy it and be there for several years,” Gaquin, who has no plans to retire, said.

Team Enlisted overpowers officers in Turkey Bowl By Rick Musselman Belvoir Eagle

or the fourth time in many years, Team Enlisted claimed the annual 1st Information Operations Command Turkey Bowl flag football championship title— this time, booking a dominating 40-2 victory over Team Officers, Nov. 27 at Pullen Field. According to Sgt. 1st Class Aaron Barfield, NCOIC, Mission Assurance Detachment, 2nd Battalion, IO Command, and event coordinator, the contest is part of an “ongoing and storied tradition that pits officers and noncommissioned officers against each other in friendly competition. Leveraging all their physical skills and mental agility, the officers and NCOs challenge each other for the coveted trophy. While the Turkey Bowl features two teams on the gridiron struggling to outmaneuver each other into the end zone, it’s also a time of bonding. The Turkey Bowl offers an opportunity for the entire 1st IO team to strengthen our ties with teammates, family, and friends.” “This is a proud tradition with 1st IO Command, officers versus NCOs, and it’s about

friendly competition and having a good time,” added Col. Brian Mellen, 1st IO commander and Team Officers captain. “Let’s enjoy the game, enjoy the camaraderie. Have a good time and be safe out there.” Bruised egos and hurt feelings ended up being a distinct possibility when the dust finally settled on what ended up being a singularly lopsided matchup. The Enlisted offense, spearheaded by quarterback, 1st Sgt. Zachary Moon, wasted no time moving the ball down the field with a stellar passing game that exploited any and every opportunity provided by the Officers’ defense. Connecting with Sgt. 1st Class Ian Stanley and Sgt. Dacoda Worth, the NCOs booked a string of touchdowns. The early fortunes, combined with Team Enlisted’s no-prisoners approach to defense—which resulted in a trio of interceptions and a pair of sacks—sent the officers to the bench at halftime trailing, 28-2. The second half quickly unfolded as an

encore performance of Team Enlisted’s surgical execution on offense, combined with the same dogged determination on the opposite side of the line of scrimmage. Yet another string of spot-on passes resulted in another two touchdowns while the defense shut down every attempt by the officers to get a miracle comeback effort off the ground. The game clock finally expired with Team Enlisted on top 40-2, earning the Enlisted its fourth consecutive Turkey Bowl title. While a win always feels good, the game was about more than just scoring points and taking home trophies, said Command Sgt. Maj. John Cuevas, 1st Battalion, 1st IO Command. “This is really about camaraderie and teambuilding,” he said. “It gives these Soldiers an opportunity to get just out here and play each other.” “I have to give a big shout-out to the friends and family of IO who came out today. Unfortunately, it’s become a tradition that we get slaughtered,” Mellen said after the game. “But it was a good, hard-fought game and I really appreciate everyone sticking to the spirit of the game and that nobody got hurt.”
