Veterans need special ID to shop at Exchange, Commissary Department of Veterans Affairs
T
he Defense Department has announced expanded commissary, Military Service Exchange and MWR access Jan. 1, and established a standard for physical access to military installations. Veterans and primary family caregivers who are eligible and want to take advantage of in-person benefits must have a Veterans Health Identification Card, or VHIC. Primary family caregivers must have an eligibility letter from VA’s Office of Community Care. Veterans use VHICs for identification and check-in at VA appointments, but, under the new program, will also use them for base access. Veterans eligible solely under this act who are eligible for a VHIC must use this credential for in-person installation and privilege access. The card must display the Veteran’s eligibility status, for example, Purple Heart recipient; former POW; or service-connected. Veterans eligible solely under this act who are not enrolled in or are not eligible to enroll in VA health care, or who are enrolled in VA health care, but do not have a VHIC, will not have access to installations for inperson commissary, exchange, and MWR retail privileges, but will have full access to online exchanges and American Forces Travel. Medal of Honor recipients and Veterans with 100 percent serviceconnected disability ratings are eligible for DoD credentials under DoD policy.

Cost of living increase approved for military retirees
Department of Defense he Department of Defense announced annual cost of living adjustments that will benefit military retirees and survivors during calendar year 2020. Most military retirees will receive a 1.6 percent increase to their retired pay beginning with the pay they receive on January 1. Likewise, survivors of members who died on active or inactive duty, or survivors of military retirees who participated in the Survivor Benefit Plan will, in most cases, see a 1.6 percent increase to their annuities beginning in January. Survivors who are eligible for the Special Survivor Indemnity Allowance will also receive an increase to their SSIA payments that reflects this 1.6 percent adjustment. Those military retirees who retired during calendar year 2019, and all military retirees who retired under the REDUX retirement system receive a slightly different annual cost of living adjustment. The complete list of updates to military retired and retainer pay, and survivor annuities, allowances, and premiums can be found at https:// militarypay.defense.gov/Pay/Retirement/Cola.aspx.

Take precautions during influenza season the flu by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth or eyes. Appropriate cough etiquette and hand washing helps prevent the spread of germs. Period of Contagiousness: Healthy adults can infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to seven days after. Children and some people with weakened immune systems may pass the virus for longer than seven days. However, people are most contagious in the first three to four days after their illness begins. Symptoms typically begin about two days (but can range from one to four days) after the virus enters the body. Some people can also be infected but have no symptoms.

nfluenza is a contagious respiratory illness caused by two main types of the flu virus: Types A and B. The influenza A and B viruses that routinely spread in people are responsible for seasonal flu epidemics each year. Both can cause mild to severe illness with symptoms including fever, sore throat, runny nose, muscle aches, headache, coughing and general fatigue. Serious outcomes of infection can result in hospitalization or death. Some people, such as elderly people, young children and people with certain health conditions are at a higher risk of serious complications. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated annually.
Prevention: The best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated every year. Good health habits like covering your cough and washing your hands often can help stop the spread of germs and prevent respiratory illnesses. There are also antiviral drugs that can be used to treat and prevent flu.
Simple ways to prevent spreading the flu to others include:
How It Spreads: Most experts think that viruses spread primarily by droplets made when infected people cough, sneeze or talk. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people up to 6 feet away, or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Less often, a person might get
• Avoiding close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too. • Staying home from work or school, and not running errands when you are sick. • Covering your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick. Flu and other serious respiratory illnesses, like respiratory syncytial virus, whooping cough, and severe acute respiratory syndrome are spread by cough, sneezing or unclean hands. • Washing your hands often. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.

But when projects arose, I was doing graphic design projects, as I could, and it lead to people knowing who I am and what I can do. When they saw my passion, they pushed me down to Army graphics at the
Pentagon in 2010.” After a couple years at the Pentagon, Loter said he was fortunate enough to transfer to Fort Bragg, N.C., and apply his craft with Special Operations, where he stayed for nearly 8 years. “They had me doing a variety of things, like jumping out of airplanes; photography; videography; graphic design and social media. It amplified my skill set, exponentially.”
Combat Artists Needed To try to increase the program, the Army has now opened the Combat Artist position to all career fields, and Loter hopes his legacy will be increase the size and scope of the program. Loter said to excel as a combat artist, several professional attributes are important. “This position requires the whole package – you need to be technically sound, so you can produce good artwork that can communicate exactly what you’re trying to convey; you have to be tactically sound on several levels; and you
have to have interpersonal tact that is able to withstand the high levels of leadership you’re going to be dealing with,” he said. To apply for the residency, Loter submitted a biography, portfolio and an artist’s vision. He said his vision is to produce pieces that might not typically be in the Army’s existing art collection, and he is keen to put one of his other passions on canvas. “I want to produce artwork that increasingly gets better by the time I leave here, to the point where it becomes very memorable. The best thing I can do is create a piece that becomes memorable and stays with them for a very long time.” In his first month of residency, he completed his first piece. “Scanning” is a charcoal pastel on paper, that depicts his 2008 deployment with the 7th Special Forces Group in Afghanistan. It was a four-day operation in the Zeriko Valley, rescuing 15 prisoners from the Taliban, and shows a Green Beret pulling security detail on the rooftop. Loter said he feels incredibly fortunate to have been given such an opportunity to represent the Army. The residency program is for three to four years, “but, I’ll stay as long as they let me,” he said with a chuckle.

T
he 12th Aviation Battalion got its FY20 intramural basketball campaign off to a promising start, when the squad prevailed over Office of the Chief Army Reserve, 46-28, in an intense season opener, Dec. 3 at Wells Field House. The contest between these two equally matched offenses quickly unfolded as a continuous struggle to penetrate their opponents’ zone formation around the lane, forcing shooters to operate outside around the three-point arc. But, 12th Aviation Bn. point guard, Marcus Camarena, soon dialed in his accuracy and unleashed a string of clean 3-pointers from the perimeter that put his squad out front by 5. Adding to the battalion’s fortunes were the no-let-up efforts of center-forward, Alex Denton; and guards, Nick Munda, Alex Kimble and Mauricio Farias, who finally managed to get inside the lane for some highaltitude lay-ins. OCAR, fielding a roster full of seasoned athletes, including forward, Andrey Ansley; and shooting guards, Arthur Jones IV, Clarence Dawsey Photos by Rick Musselman and Jasmine Wells—shifted its defensive approach to man-to-man and DTRA second baseman, Rich Goad, drills one up the middle for a base managed slow 12th late-season Aviation Bn.’s fortunes. softball At the opposite end of the hit duringto his team’s intramural matchup against court, Ansley, Jones and Dawsey executed a series of lane drives that ADF-E, July 2 at Graves Field.

Sonic Boom Track Club named to AAU’s Top 100 Volunteers recognized for service By Rick Musselman Belvoir Eagle
O
n Oct. 1, the Amateur Athletic Union named Belvoir’s Sonic Boom Track Club to its Top 100 collection of outstanding teams, in recognition of its volunteers who work throughout the organization’s seasons to support the program. Sonic Boom’s volunteers ensure its more than 100 member-athletes are prepared to face off against some of the most accomplished youth sports clubs in the area. “Each year, AAU Track and Field has almost 2,000 clubs filled with young athletes, and we realize these clubs are grounded with coaches and parents who provide the foundation in which future athletic and academic stars will be produced,” said Madison Evans, AAU Track and Field sports coordinator. “It’s our desire to acknowledge programs that show exemplary efforts in the development of the youth of, not only this country, but throughout the world. “While we are aware that clubs vary in size, we also understand the tremendous efforts it takes to manage the larger clubs,” Evans added. “And, naming clubs to the Top 100 is our way of saying ‘thanks’ to the programs that reach the larger number of athletes and are providing positive academic and athletic opportunities.” “Fort Belvoir Sonic Boom Track Club Commissioner Coach Richard Herman’s encouragement of the young athletes and the work of the coaches and volunteers of the program is what this AAU award represents,” said Bronte Montgomery, Sonic Boom Track Club parent volunteer. “While the program is the only one of its kind in the Army, it’s success has resulted in continued support from the Fort Belvoir Garrison and Youth Sports Program Director, Jerry Arrington, who understands the value of impactful youth sports programs. “The AAU’s commitment to ‘Providing Positive Academic and Athletic Opportunities’ to youth around the world, is the same mantra Herman envisioned, when he started the club in 2000 to provide military high school students options for competitive track and field,” Montgomery added. “Alton Greene serves as head coach and often imparts words of wisdom to the athletes.” According to Montgomery, Sonic Boom Track and Field serves as a developmental program focusing on the core fundamentals of proper movement; strength; agility; coordination; nutrition and the mental aspects of the sport, including discipline to achieve desired outcomes. While hard work is required, the coaches impress the importance of academics, teamwork, character and perseverance. Youth athletes of all skill levels participate and their coaches reinforce that the objective is to set goals and strive to attain them, a concept that follows into their everyday lives; it’s not just about taking first place, Montgomery said. The coaches celebrate athletes for attaining personal bests, allows them to see they’ve made progress and can work hard to
tackle a new goal. The Sonic Boom Developmental Track Meet is the first meet of the season for our region, and offers the full complement of track and field events. The program provides athletes the chance to develop and is not focused only on those with stellar talent. “Our coaches include active-duty Soldiers; retirees, DoD civilians, local community members and parents,” Montgomery said. “Head Coach Alton Greene oversees the program with a dedicated coaching staff and volunteers who spend countless hours at weekly practices and most Saturdays or Sundays. In the spring and summer, they spend at least 10 hours a day motivating athletes at track meets in the DMV area. The coaches all agree it’s a labor of love for the sport and the athletes. The volunteers and parents bear all the travel expenses to meets, including Junior Olympic competitions, as they are not able to fundraise due to ethics limitations. “Coach Herman believes it’s befitting the club to be recognized as it celebrates 20 years in 2020,” Montgomery added. “His motto, ‘Today’s Champions, Tomorrow’s Leaders’ has been evident in the athletes who have come through the program. He knows he couldn’t support Belvoir’s youth and be recognized for this prestigious award without the dedicated coaches and volunteers. A man of few words, Herman emailed the volunteers after being notified of the award, simply saying, ‘thanks for a job well done.’ “Congratulations Coach Herman and the Sonic Boom family on this prestigious award, for the impact you’ve made in the lives of our youth and for representing Fort Belvoir with excellence” Montgomery said.

Scholarships for military children By Mike Perron Defense Commissary Agency
T
he Scholarships for Military Children Program for the 2020 – 2021 school year kicks off Monday, marking its 20th year of awarding grants to military families and celebrating the commissary’s role in enhancing their quality of life. The program is administered by Fisher House Foundation, a nonprofit organization that helps Service members and their families, and is funded primarily through the generosity of manufacturers and suppliers whose products are sold at military commissaries worldwide. “The foundation underwrites all the expenses for administering the program, so a company donating $10,000, for example, would be assured that their donation resulted in five scholarship grants of $2,000 each,” says Jim Weiskopf, Fisher House Foundation vice president, and administrator of the Scholarships for Military Children Program. “And we have done this for 19 years now. In those 19 years, there have been more than 100,000 applications submitted, with 11,314 recipients selected, sharing a total of $19,126,000. The program is truly a success story.” There will be at least one recipient selected at every commissary location where qualified applications are received, and additional recipients will be selected based on a prorated basis, so more applicants will be selected from those commissaries with larger numbers of applicants. For scholarship year 2020-21, Fisher House Foundation will award 500 scholarship grants of $2,000 each. The selection process begins immediately after the Feb. 24 deadline for entries. The application, including essay question, will be available for download from the Scholarships for Military Children website (militaryscholar.org) beginning Monday. There, you’ll also find answers to frequently asked questions and other information about the program.
