New leader takes charge at FBCH By Fort Belvoir Community Hospital Strategic Communications Office

ort Belvoir Community Hospital welcomed a new hospital director, May 15 at Fort Belvoir’s Thurman Auditorium. During the change of authority ceremony, Navy Capt. Cynthia Judy, Nurse Corps, relieved Col. Rodney Gonzalez of hospital command. Maj. Gen. Ronald Place, director of the Transitional Intermediate Management Organization, officiated the ceremony. “Today, we bid farewell to Col. Rodney Gonzalez, a military officer who is a true champion of the advancement of healthcare and readiness.” Place said, “and, we are very fortunate to welcome Capt. Cynthia Judy, a proven and respected leader within the Military Health System. Her experience and expertise make her uniquely suited for this role.” Place added, “The MHS is integrating readiness and health, and this hospital will continue to lead with optimal readiness.”

The outgoing director thanked everyone in attendance and thanked those who were unable to attend because they were “providing care and services for the patients who need them right now.” Judy’s previous assignment was commanding officer of the U.S. Naval Hospital at Rota, Spain. Before that, she was the executive officer of the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chi-

cago, Ill., which was the nation’s first fully integrated federal health-care center between the Defense and Veterans departments. As the hospital’s new director, Judy performed her first official act by receiving the unit colors from Place. Her second official act was to pass those colors to the hospital’s senior enlisted leader, Command Sgt. Maj. Stephen Moreno, signifying her trust and confidence in the organiza-

tion’s leaders. Judy addressed the ceremony attendees with these words, “You are an incredible team, here at Fort Belvoir Community Hospital — that I already knew. You have a strong reputation in the National Capital Region and throughout the Military Health System. Together, we will continue to set the MHS’s standard of healthcare by providing high-quality care with compassion and respect.”

Bike to work to boost health, stay in shape By Paul Lara Special to the Eagle Dozens of Fort Belvoir workers chose a clean, healthy and fun way to commute during Bike to Work Day, Friday. The Garrison Safety Office was on hand at Walker Gate with a pit stop for the morning riders, offering energy bars, water, and T-shirts for everyone who had registered. The trend of cycling to work is growing, according to John Nicklas, Garrison Safety Office, with nearly 50 riders signed up to

HOUSING INFORMATION CSM Commentary: What About the Barracks? Garrison CSM: Barracks renovations scheduled over the next 2 years By CSM Corey Perry Fort Belvoir Command Sgt. Maj.

s many may be aware, the Army has a housing crisis. When the Army privatized accompanied housing, it took away the requirement for chains of command to visit their Soldiers and check on their living conditions. Over the last three months, that has all changed and now, a Service member’s leadership, along with Garrison, are proactively involved in the conditions our Service members’ families live in. Since then, questions have arisen, including what about the single Soldiers and who’s focusing on barracks. Similar to Army privatized housing; the Army is having issues with unaccompanied housing, or the barracks. Leaders are in the barracks now more than ever and issues are handled promptly. I must start off by saying we are fortunate here at Fort Belvoir, when it comes to barracks. Yes, we’ve had problems with mold and living conditions in the past,

but those issues are few and far between nowadays. To understand where we are today, people need an understanding of the history of unaccompanied housing management.

Changes to barracks management From the late 1990s into early 2000, with the focus on single Soldiers’ quality of life and privacy, there was less and less leader interaction with Soldiers living in the barracks. This was compounded with the Global War on Terrorism and the units’ focus on training and deployments. The second- and third-order effects were a lack of leader presence in the barracks and resolution of needed repairs. Before 2008, military units managed the barracks separately from garrison or other units. This led to underuse and a lack of a consistency in managing barracks. In 2012, Army headquarters created the First Sergeants Barracks Program 2020, or FSBP. It took the responsibility of the unit and centralized barracks management (assignments, terminations, inspections, etc.) under garrison housing professionals. Although this allowed units to focus on mission requirements and reduced the number of certificates of nonavailability, saving the Army

money, it also had some unintended consequences. The biggest consequence, just like privatized housing, was the lack of leadership involvement in the barracks. This resulted in degraded living conditions and repair work not being reported. Since units did not own the barracks, they felt there was no requirement from them to be in the barracks. Some were even operating under the assumption they were not allowed to do inspections in the barracks and must respect their Soldiers’ privacy. This was not the intent of FSBP. With the lack of leader presence, barracks aging faster than they can be maintained and limited resources, the quality of our barracks significantly decreased. As a result, in May 2018, the Army rescinded FSBP and issued a replacement executive order, establishing the Army Barracks Management Program The program’s purpose is to get back to unit ownership at the lowest command level, with the help of garrison personnel. The primary difference between these programs is that ABMP assigns responsibility for permanent party barracks management to the company or equivalent level, whereas the FSBP authorized barracks management at the brigade or equivalent level, but put a majority of the requirements

Some construction on the barracks has already begun. The renovations are expected to be completed in about two years.

Renovations will take 2 years Fort Belvoir has eight barracks buildings, six of which were built in 1974 and require a lot of attention. The other two were built in 2012, when the Fort Belvoir Warrior Transition Battalion was activated. Although we have an aging fleet of barracks, we are in the process of a multi-million dollar restoration

OR FINISH ONE YOU’VE STARTED

From Commentary, page A2 project for four of our oldest barracks to ensure our Service members are living in the best conditions. The project will take about two years and will not reduce the barracks capacity or space. Our current barracks offer approximately 165 square feet, per two-person room. After renovations, each unit will have a four-room suite with a common kitchen, living room and dining area. This is key, as Fort Belvoir doesn’t have a dining facility. My hope is that the kitchen will encourage healthy eating habits and keep Service members away from fast food options. Soldiers will also have a private sleeping space, bathroom, shower, and a shared, stackable washer and dryer in each room. Another barracks issue was mold. In the older buildings, a lot of moisture was introduced through the HVAC system, causing conditions that encouraged mold growth, if precautions were not taken. This has been remedied with taking centralized units offline and putting individual wall units in each room, allowing

This remedy will also be present in the barracks restoration project. We all come from different backgrounds and you cannot assume everyone has the same cleanliness standards as the Army. Despite the unaccompanied housing management program being implemented, the only way to ensure our Soldiers are living in a healthy and safe environment is for leaders at all echelons to get into the barracks and see how their Service members are living. Teach them how to maintain a clean, safe, and healthy environment and then hold them accountable.

Reimbursement for spouse licensing, certifications authorized SecArmy signed new directive May 1, retroactive to Dec. 12, 2017 Provided by Headquarters, Deputy Chief of Staff Army G-1

ecretary of the Army Mark T. Esper signed the directive May 1, to ease the burden on spouses applying for new state licensing or certifications due to following their Soldier spouse to a new post in another state.

What is it? Army Directive 2019-18, Reimbursement for State Licensure and Certification Costs for the Spouse of a Soldier Arising from a Permanent Change of Station, establishes a policy to reimburse qualified costs associated with state licensures and certifications when spouses undergo a permanent change of station with their Soldier

to another state.

including exam and registration fees that are imposed by the state of the new duty station to secure a license or certification in the spouse’s same profession while in the previous state may be eligible for reimbursement.

What are the Army’s current and past efforts? The Army developed this directive to correct the fact that there was no previous policy or directive for reimbursing military spouses licensure and certification costs that result from a relocation across state lines. The Army will reimburse qualified relicensing costs for spouses. These are costs to cover examination and registration fees imposed by the state of the new duty station. This allows spouses to secure a license or recertification in the new duty station for the same profession as in the original duty station. The new policy is effective retroactive to Dec. 12, 2017, and applies to the Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserve. The Army will provide policy details to commanders, Soldiers and Army spouses through official

messaging and Military OneSource. The Defense State Liaison Office continues to work with all states to make it easier for Army spouses to transfer their licenses when relocating.

What continued efforts does the Army have planned? The Army will provide instructions for filing reimbursement through the permanent change of station process and ensure funding is available through the military pay and allowances account. Reimbursement may not exceed $500 in connection with each reassignment. Costs,

Why is this important to the Army? The Army is dedicated to supporting families and has a history of championing spouse employment. Spouses in professionally licensed fields face challenges resulting from delays and the cost of transferring licenses to a new state. By mitigating these barriers, the Army improves quality of life for Soldiers and families and eases the stress of transferring duty stations with consideration for long-term career implications.

From Bicycle, page A1 they sign up, but they supported Bike to Work Day. Nicklas said, “In the previous years we had a maximum of 15 riders, total, participate.” Christian Mostert, co-owner of Rats Cycles on Fort Belvoir, noted that Washington, D.C. has seen an 8-percent rise in bicycle commuters, despite the national trend, which has fallen by more than 3 percent since its peak in 2014, according to the League of American Bicyclists. “Bike to Work Day is important, because it allows people to be

healthy and maintain fitness while you pursue your career. I know here on Fort Belvoir, there are a lot of people who bike to work at the Pentagon every day – in all conditions,” Mostert said. “This is one day to recognize them and to support that effort.” Craig Flewelling, with the Center for Army Analysis, doesn’t have quite as long a ride to work, but he agrees it is important to do it every day. “I live right outside Telegraph Gate, so I only have about a 3-mile bike ride to work. I sit at a desk all day, so it’s nice, right after work, to be able to stretch my legs instead of sitting in a car again. I do it to keep in shape, too. It forces me

to get those six miles of riding in every day.” Rolling up on her vintage, fixed-gear cruiser bike she bought while stationed in Finland, Jenelle Davis is glad to support the effort of increased biking. “I enjoy that you’re outdoors and you get exercise doing something you have to do anyway – you have to go to the store, so ride your bike there.” Davis says she feels comfortable riding on Fort Belvoir, even with her children riding along behind her, with drivers giving her plenty of space. Offices and employers on post can take several steps to become a bicycle-friendly workplace, including appointing a bicycle coordinator; providing shower and changing facilities, or the time to use those at the closest location; offer financial incentives; and permit a more relaxed dress code on specified biking days.

Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month Provided by Headquarters, Department of the Army, G-1

What is it? Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month celebrates the important contributions of individuals of Asian/Pacific Islander descent to the nation, both historically and in today's society. The month of May was chosen for this commemoration because it marks the anniversary of the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants to America, May 7, 1843, and the completion of the transcontinental railroad by predominantly Chinese laborers, May 10, 1869. The theme for 2019 is Unite Our Mission by Engaging Each Other. This year’s theme is a continuation of the “Unite” series and focuses on leadership and engagement to advance the AAPI community.

What is the Army doing? The Army commemorates and celebrates the contributions of

Asian and Pacific Islanders to the nation and the Army. Asian and Pacific Islander American warriors have served in America's Army since the Civil War. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the all Japanese-American unit from WWII, is still one of the most highly decorated units in military history. This distinguished unit earned 9,485 Purple Hearts, eight Presidential Unit Citations, and 21 of its members were awarded Medals of Honor. In October 2017, Congress awarded the Congressional Gold Medal to Filipino veterans of World War II in honor of 260,000 Filipinos who fought alongside American forces during the war.

What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future? Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month stands as a reminder of the strength the Army has gained, and will gain, through a high-quality, diverse, all-

backgrounds. Diversity makes the Army better and more equipped to meet the challenges and threats of the future. The Army continues to cultivate a climate of trust and respect to allow every Soldier to thrive and achieve their full potential.

Why is this important to the Army?

The Army firmly values the principles of diversity and inclusion and continues to lead American society in maximizing the potential of future leaders from all

Individuals of Asian and Pacific Islander descent have historically served in the Army with great valor and distinction and continue to be critical members of the Army team. They play vital roles in today's Army as Soldiers, Army civilians and family members. Nearly 59,000 Soldiers who identify as Asian American/Pacific Islander serve in the Total Force (~ 29,000 regular Army; ~ 14,000 National Guard; ~ 15,000 Army Reserve.) The contributions and achievements of individuals of Asian/Pacific Islander descent illustrates the strength of a diverse Army.

Observance speaker urges cross-race mentoring By Margaret Steele Public Affairs Specialist

o observe Asian-American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a guest speaker told her audience to choose opportunities to mentor and to learn about our colleagues. Lt. Col. Hyo Jin Cho, a supply branch chief for the National Guard Bureau, spoke to an audience, last week at the Community Center. As a pre-teen, she moved with her family from South Korea to near Baltimore. “I didn’t speak English, and gained weight from the American food that was new to me. That, and my adjustment to American culture led to low self-esteem,” she said. “We all have biases,” she said, adding that she remembers, from when she was an eighth-grader, telling her white friends she didn’t want to go to a certain high school because it had too many black people. “Sometimes, you never know if someone is going to have a negative stereotype about you or someone else, for any reason … sexual orientation, race, religion, gender,” she said. “One thing for sure, though, through actions and dialog, we can change negative stereotypes.” Addressing current and future leaders in the crowd, Cho said, “No matter who you are or where you come from, as long as you show you really care about and learn about

each Soldier and member of your team, they will rise up to the occasion when called upon. “Learn about each other and appreciate what everyone brings to the table,” she said. “To become a good leader, take time and get to know your team members who all come from different cultures, backgrounds and beliefs. We have to appreciate those differences and take time to learn those differences.” Cho talked of her own workplace that consists of military, contractors, females, males, prior-military and no military experience. “We are truly efficient and effective because of our diversity,” she said. In giving three pieces of advice to the audience, Cho said: “First, be cognizant of your

Whether they look like you, act like you, talk like you, we’re all part of the team,” she said. Secondly, mentor someone and find many mentors, even if it means getting out of a comfort zone. Mentoring provides a huge benefit,

but, she said mentoring doesn’t happen often enough. “However, it shouldn’t be an option for leaders,” she said. “I am here, today, because of great mentors in my life.” L a s t l y, C h o a d v i s e d t h a t people know that everyone brings something to the table, no matter the situation.

Athletes face off in Strong B.A.N.D.S. wheelchair hoops By Rick Musselman Sports Editor

By Rick Musselman Sports Editor Nearly 200 members of Fort Belvoir’s youth community, and nearly as many parents, came out to Pullen Track, Saturday to compete in the 2019 America’s Armed Forces Kids Run. The event, sponsored by Belvoir’s MWR and Child and Youth Services, gives military children a chance to compete each year in a variety of distance runs in different age groups to celebrate Armed Forces Day. President Harry S. Truman established the annual holiday in 1949 for citizens to thank U.S. military members for their patriotic service in support of the country. Jerry Arrington, CYS sports and fitness director, along with Julie Libert and Rashawd Pope, CYS sports and fitness assistant directors, coordinated the Kids

As part of the Army’s annual Strong B.A.N.D.S. initiative, eight Soldiers assigned to the Fort Belvoir Warrior Transition Battalion squared off in an intense wheelchair basketball showdown, May 15 at Wells Field House. Strong B.A.N.D.S. is a fitness program designed to empower military and civilian personnel to make positive changes to their health. The event, hosted by Justin Fitzgerald, Fort Belvoir intramural sports coordinator, gave community members a chance to witness one of the most dynamic and fastpaced sports in the Army’s adaptive athletics program. Soldiers divided themselves up into four-man squads and spent the next hour engaging in a full-contact melee, which resulted in a series of scores from all over the hardwood and completely blurred the line between men’s basketball and a demolition derby. No one was hurt and everyone seemed to have fun, which was the point. For a complete breakdown of the activities offered during the Strong B.A.N.D.S. program, go to https://belvoir.armymwr. com/promos/2019-strong-bands.

Belvoir community commits to fitness with Strong B.A.N.D.S. By Rick Musselman Sports Editor On May 1, Fort Belvoir’s MWR sports and fitness teams kicked off the Army’s annual Strong B.A.N.D.S. initiative—a force-wide program designed to empower military and civilian personnel to make positive changes to their overall health. “The goal of the Strong B.A.N.D.S. — Strong Balance, Activity, Nutrition, Determination and Strength— campaign is to promote the numerous programs and activities, taking place at various garrisons, which highlight the opportunities for Soldiers and families to stay physically and mentally fit,” said Calvin Simpson, Fort Belvoir MWR fitness specialist. “Installation Management Command, G‐9 Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Programs created this promotion to energize and inspire communities Army-wide about healthy lifestyles that support resiliency,” Simpson added. “The Strong B.A.N.D.S. promotion is a chance to showcase the great fitness programs we are already hosting, while fostering camaraderie, cohesiveness and a sense of total community.” One of the most popular activities offered this month is the Functional Fitness program—a highly specialized fitness series, offered in six-week cycles throughout the year, that focuses on total-body condition-

Belvoir Soldiers and civilians work out at the medicine ball lift station during a Strong B.A.N.D.S. Functional Fitness session, May 14 at Specker Field House. ing through cardio, aerobics and core strength conditioning. Through Dynamic Training, Metabolic Conditioning and Extreme Training, this 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. More than 40 Belvoir community members converged on Specker Field House to push their endurance to the limit, May 14. According to Simpson, these workouts allow participants to visit nu-

merous “stations” offering an array of specific exercises designed to target isolated areas of the body. “We utilize all types of equipment, from barbells, dumbbells, kettle bells, jump ropes, battle ropes, med balls, slam balls and TRX straps,” he said. “Any given day, you’ll utilize any of these pieces of equipment. And, instead of repeating workout routines throughout the week, you get a new workout each and every day. Some classes you will rotate by repetition and other classes you will rotate by time.” Simpson added that the Functional Fitness training program provides all the necessary tools and guidance to build total-body fitness.

However, the results entirely depend on how dedicated and driven each person remains throughout the sixweek cycles. “When it comes to the class itself, the workouts range from dynamic exercises, metabolic conditioning and extreme conditioning,” he said. “One thing I like to tell people is that you're going to get out of the class exactly what you put into it. The class is designed for you to work at you own pace. We get people who come to the class with all different physical conditions and each one of them is able to get a maximum workout. I like to encourage individuals to focus on themselves and their own goals and not be worried about the person to their left or their right. This helps remove the intimidation factor and allows individuals to freely work out.” For a complete breakdown of the activities offered during the Strong B.A.N.D.S. program, go to https:// belvoir.armymwr.com/promos/2019strong-bands.

From Kids Run, page B1 Run, with help from fitness program specialists and volunteer parents. Arrington said the Armed Forces Kids Run is a popular event aimed at getting more children actively involved in competition and providing an alternative athletic activity for youth who choose not to participate in the installation’s organized team sports. “We’ve been doing this for the last 15 years. It’s one of the fitness programs we have to try to get kids involved in running,” he said. “Not all kids play team or individual sports. This is an opportunity for those kids who are not comfortable with playing on a team. This event is in May every year to celebrate Armed Forces Day and it’s just for kids to have a chance to get out, run and enjoy themselves.” The Armed Forces Kids Run was open to children ages 4-13 and the individual distance runs are geared toward three separate levels of athletic development.

Runners competing in the 4-6 year old age division leave the starting line of the 2019 Armed Forces Kid’s Run, Saturday at Fort Belvoir’s Pullen Track. “We have the 4 to 6-year-old run, which is twice around the track, or a half mile. Then we have the 7 to 8-year-old race, which covers one mile. The 2-mile run is for the 9 to 13 year old age group,” Arrington said. In keeping with the familycentered tradition of the Armed

Forces Kids Run, many moms and dads joined their children in the races as well. For information about the Armed Forces Kids Run call Julie Libert, CYS sports and fitness assistant director, 703-805-9138 or visit https://belvoir.armymwr.com/ categories/cys-services.

When Jake Messier dropped out of college in his junior year to join the U.S. Marine Corps, he promised his dad that he would see the world and that he’d finish college. Messier served as combat correspondent, traveling to 43 countries and covering stories about fellow servicemembers. During his last assignment in Tokyo, he made good on the second part of his promise too, completing a bachelor’s degree from UMUC. At age 45, he founded Olderpreneur Coach, a consulting service for older entrepreneurs, and HEARD Strategy & Storytelling, a marketing firm that created jobs for furloughed employees during the recent government shutdown.
