Business breakfast, covenant signing upholds community values By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Fort Belvoir leadership and local partners from the Mount Vernon-Lee community held their annual business breakfast and Army Community Covenant Signing, Feb. 11 at the Belle Haven Country Club. “I’m so blessed to be surrounded by a world-class group of professionals,” said Col. Angie Holbrook, U.S. Army Garrison Fort Belvoir commander. “I especially want to thank you for all of the continued support you’ve provided to Fort Belvoir for so many years.” Holbrook talked about ongoing and completed projects at Fort Belvoir such as the opening of the South Post fire station in August 2016, the opening of the second Fort Belvoir Elementary School and the opening of Staybridge Suites in December 2016. Supervisor Dan Storck, Mount Vernon, said everyone is attending the event because of the importance of community. “Community is what brought us into the world in many ways,” he said. “People have nurtured us and supported us in many ways. In fact, they helped us become everything that we could be. Our community has that role for not only our families and us individually, but really for us to realize some larger and much more important things that we want to achieve in life.” People in the community make sure there are the resources needed

Budget act includes changes to Army sexual assault policy By David Vergun Army News Service Changes to the law covering the review of discharges, the definition of sexual harassment and reporting requirements for the Department of Defense have taken effect. Many of the changes in the law reflect practices already adopted by DoD, according to Col. Walter M. Hudson, chief of the Army’s Criminal Law Division in the Office of the Judge Advocate General. The changes came about when the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2017 was signed into law by the president Dec. 23, Hudson said. The new NDAA is now codified in Title 10 of the United States Code and Public Law. The following are some of the changes that were legislated: REVIEW OF DISCHARGES Former Soldiers with claims of post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury in connection with combat or sexual trauma as a basis for their discharge can now provide medical evidence from the Department of Veterans Affairs or civilian health care providers to discharge review boards as a possible means to upgrade their discharge status. The board is instructed to give “liberal consideration” to that evidence. Through enhanced public outreach, engagement with veterans’ service organizations, military service organizations, and other outside groups, as well as direct outreach to individual veterans, the DoD encourages all veterans who believe they have experienced an error or injustice to request relief from their service’s Board for Correction of Military/Naval Records or Discharge Review Board. For discharge upgrades, if the discharge was less than 15 years ago, veterans should complete DD Form 293 and send it to their service’s dis-

For discharges over 15 years ago, veterans should complete the DD Form 149 and send it to the address on the form. SEXUAL HARASSMENT DEFINITIONS REFINED The definition of sexual harassment that triggers a command investigation will no longer be limited to “the work environment.” It will simply be “the environment,” meaning it could take place anywhere and at any time. This change reflects current training that advises Soldiers that they can be held accountable

Medal of Honor from Page A1 We’ll start with the first black recipient of the award: Army Sgt. William H. Carney, who earned the honor for protecting one of the United States’ greatest symbols during the Civil War -the American flag. Carney was born into slavery in Norfolk, Virginia, in 1840. His family was eventually granted freedom and moved to Massachusetts, where Carney was eager to learn and secretly got involved in academics, despite laws and restrictions that banned blacks from learning to read and write. Carney had wanted to pursue a career in the church, but when the Civil War broke out, he decided the best way he could serve God was by serving in the military to help free the oppressed. In March 1863, Carney joined the Union Army and was attached to Company C, 54th Massachusetts Colored Infantry Regiment, the first official black unit recruited for the Union in the north. Forty other black men served with him, including two of famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass’ sons. Within a few months, Carney’s training would be put to the ultimate test during the unit’s first major combat mission in Charleston, South Carolina. On July 18, 1863, the soldiers of Carney’s regiment led the charge on Fort Wagner. During the battle, the unit’s color guard was shot. Carney, who was just a few feet away, saw the dying man stumble, and he scrambled to catch the falling flag. Despite suffering several serious gunshot wounds himself, Carney kept the symbol of the Union held high as he crawled up the hill to the walls of Fort Wagner, urging his fellow troops to follow him. He planted the flag in the sand at the base of the fort and held it upright until his nearlifeless body was rescued. Even then, though, he didn’t give it up. Many witnesses said Carney refused to give the flag to his rescuers, holding onto it tighter until, with

Post removing hazardous trees By Adrienne Anderson Staff Writer Tree cutting is underway across Fort Belvoir to get rid of dead and dying trees that could be potentially hazardous if they were to fall. With more than a quarter million trees on post, large trees that are diseased or dying, especially those near sidewalks or roads, must be removed to protect people and property. Last year, a white oak tree in front of the Garrison Headquarters was one of more than 150 trees cut down. Arial surveys show the white oak was already a significant tree when the Garrison Headquarters was built in the 1930s. Bryce Bartley, an urban forester and environmental specialist for the Directorate of Public Works’ Environmental and Natural Resources Division said the white oak tree received a bad diagnosis

two summers ago and that’s why it was taken down. Each year, trees are cut down in the fall and winter and replaced during the spring season. Tree removal will continue for several more weeks. The trees are replaced at a ratio of two-to-one, in accordance with post regulations. When the trees are replaced, Bartley said, the trees aren’t always replaced in the same location, especially if the original ones were too close to utilities, for example. According to the Virginia Department of Forestry, trees provide habitat to wildlife and clean water. Trees are home to mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and many insects. Trees also protect watersheds by filtering pollutants carried in water. The tree roots absorb soil water and remove pollutants before releasing them. Virginia has 15.72 million acres of forestland, according to the Virginia Department of Forestry.

Army and Air Force AAFES Welcoming Home All Exchange Service named a of America’s Veterans with Military Friendly® Employer Online Shopping Benefit Army and Air Force Exchange Service, Public Affairs For the fifth consecutive year, the Army and Air Force Exchange Service has been named a Military Friendly® Employer by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs and Military Spouse magazines. The 14th annual list honors companies based on their long-term commitment to hiring veterans, retention programs for veterans and policies on National Guard and Reserve service. “The Exchange is family serving family, and part of that is recognizing the experience and talents that veterans bring to the table,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Luis Reyes, Exchange senior enlisted advisor. “Having been our customers, veterans bring a unique perspective to the Exchange team. We are honored to be recognized as a Military Friendly® Employer and will continue to recruit and hire from this pool of qualified candidates.” The Exchange hired 1,239 veterans worldwide in 2016, and 12 percent of Exchange associates are veterans. To recruit veterans, the Ex-

change partners with the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, Wounded Warrior Project, Operation Warfighter Program, White House Joining Forces, Feds Hire Vets and the Army Reserve Private Public Partnership Office. The Exchange was featured along with other companies earning the Military Friendly® Employer designation in G.I. Jobs magazine’s December edition. This is the fifth consecutive year the Exchange has been recognized as a Military Friendly® Employer. Veterans and others seeking employment with the Exchange can visit www.applymyexchange.com to view job postings. The Exchange is part of the Department of Defense and is directed by a Board of Directors, responsible to the Secretaries of the Army and Air Force through the Chiefs of Staff. To find out more about the Exchange history and mission or to view recent press releases please visit our Web site at http://www. aafes.com/about-exchange/publicaffairs/press-releases.htm or follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/ ExchangePAO.

Army and Air Force Exchange Service, Public Affairs After four years of coordination with the Departments of Defense, Army and Air Force as well as several other federal agencies, the Army and Air Force Exchange Service will welcome home approximately 15 million veterans on Nov. 11. “AAFES is honored to offer this well-deserved benefit to those who raised their right hands, took the oath and served our Nation with honor,” said AAFES Director/CEO Tom Shull. “There are many generations of service members who have not been properly recognized for their sacrifices. The Veterans Online Shopping Benefit acknowledges their service and welcomes them home.” Extending online shopping privileges to all honorably discharged veterans will directly improve family and support programs for Soldiers, Airmen and their families. Consistent with each exchange’s dividend policy, increased earnings as a result of VOSB is expected to generate tens of millions of dollars in increased annual dividends

to Quality-of-Life programs for the military community including contingency operations, Army Child Development Centers, Youth Services and fitness centers, Air Force Outdoor Recreation, combat uniforms, overseas school lunches and more. VOSB also strengthens AAFES’ online business to better serve current shoppers. Including honorably discharged veterans will conservatively double exchanges’ online presence, improving the experience for all shoppers. From technology upgrades to associate training to inventory planning, AAFES has been working on implementation of VOSB since it was first proposed in 2013. As a result, most of the required business capabilities are already in place, and AAFES will be ready for a smooth rollout on Veterans Day. “AAFES, along with its sister exchanges, is ensuring America’s veterans are honored for their service and recognized as Soldiers, Airmen, Marines and Sailors for life,” said Shull. “We look forward to welcoming our veterans home this Veterans Day and every day thereafter.”

Belvoir downs top-ranked NSA Bethesda 66-56 in WAMAC hoops

Timeout Show and tell By Rick Musselman Sports Editor

By Rick Musselman Sports Editor The Fort Belvoir Eagles men’s WAMAC basketball squad combined picture-perfect offensive precision with redefined vehemence in the man-defense department to deliver the top-ranked Naval Support Activity Bethesda Warriors their first defeat of the 2017 season, Saturday at Wells Field House. Riding a crest of momentum that began with the opening tip and steadily built throughout two dynamic periods, the Eagles, under veteran Head Coach Herb Marshall, maintained a lead for the lion’s share of the contest to put a 66-56 victory into the week-6 books. In the end, defense was clearly the key to Belvoir’s upset win. Veteran guards, Anthony Johnson; Deonte Bleach; and Ryan Stephens maintained a brand of man coverage that robbed the visitors of any chance of getting a head of steam built. Down low, center, David Moen, and forward, Robert Kearney, succeeded in boxing out would-be Warrior rebounders while crashing boards with unprecedented dedication deep in the paint.

More than 30 military and civilian members of the Fort Belvoir community converged on North Post Field and Graves Fitness Center, Feb. 7 to try out for positions on the installation’s 2017 elite-level softball teams. According to Justin Fitzgerald, Fort Belvoir’s intramural sports league coordinator and sports facility manager, the aim of the softball program is to give more accomplished players another chance to compete outside of the annual Commander’s Cup intramural league. “This year we’ll be playing in the Fairfax County adult league and we’re hoping to build it up to a WAMAC (Washington Area Military Athletic Conference, a highly competitive sports program for military personnel assigned to duty stations across the Military District of Washington) level,” he said. “Anyone who is assigned or attached to Fort Belvoir can participate in this, and it’s looking like we’re having a great turnout.” Fitzgerald added that the tryouts are open to male and female community members and those prospective players will have multiple chances to demonstrate their skills to coaches and league coordinators through February.

I have something to report this week that might not seem all that noteworthy, but I believe that once you get some background, you’ll find it as monumental as I do. For years, I’ve been bringing my coffee to work in a plastic Burger King cup, mostly because it holds 32 ounces, enough to last me well into the afternoon. More interesting is the fact that, being a conservationist, I’ve used the very same cup for at least the last two. Now, I’m not sure when I originally got this particular cup, but I do know I gave up fast food in late 2014. But, what I never considered is how badly black coffee can stain such a cup over time. Indeed, even the outside of it had gotten pretty rugged looking from spills caused by bouncing around in my Jeep’s drink holder. Upon closer inspection I realized my cup looked a bit like a particularly uncoordinated mechanic had used it to catch engine oil or 30-year-old differential fluid. But like a lot of things in my possession, I figured it served me as it was and didn’t need replacing. But that perception, apparently, wasn’t shared by several people who’d happened to see it when they came into my cubicle. Here are a few examples: “You know, that coffee cup’s really starting to disturb me.” (My last editor) “Boy, that coffee cup’s looking a little funky, isn’t it?” (My current editor) “Man, that coffee cup looks rough.” (A former HQ Bn. commander) “You actually drink out of that?” (A former DTRA CSM) “Oh, man, get me out of here— I’m going to be sick.” (Some volleyball player) While I’m at a bit of a loss as to why folks would react so strongly to a slightly dirty drink cup, a situation worth considering obviously did exist. Well, it may interest everyone here that I’ve finally retired that Burger King cup, having bought myself a shiny stainless steel travel mug that, so far, is working out just fine. I’m sure the environmental people around here can relax, too, since I’m sure word of my old cup spread across the installation.

House basketball action intensifies By Rick Musselman Sports Editor With weeks of skills-refining practice sessions and one regular-season matchup in the books, Fort Belvoir’s up-andcoming athletes are treating spectators to increasingly dynamic exhibitions of precision youth hoops in intense House Basketball League matchups across the age divisions. The league, coordinated each year by Child, Youth and School Services, is comprised of young athletes in the process of learning the game and perfecting the skills necessary to compete on the Barracudas squads in the Fairfax County Youth Basketball League, the next stage in Belvoir’s youth basketball program. Four age divisions—5-6, 7-8, 9-11 and 12-15—are represented each year. House league games are played on Saturdays at Specker Field House, now through April. For more information and game schedules call Jerry Arrington, CYSS sports and fitness director, at (703) 805-9139 or Julie Libert, CYSS sports and fitness assistant director, at (703) 805-9138.

“We’ll be having these tryouts for the next couple of weeks; the women’s sessions will be Mondays and Wednesday at 6 p.m. and the men’s will be Tuesdays and Thursdays at the same time,” he said. Team coach, Jason Naputi, is excited to get the program started at Belvoir since the installation has not recently fielded a team to compete with other squads in the MDW. “We’re really hoping to get as many people out here as we can. There are a lot of installations—like Fort Myer—who have teams and we didn’t have one here,” he said. “The teams are open to active duty, Reserve, retirees, DoD civilians—anybody who works here on Belvoir. Our season starts the second week of March and we’ll be playing our games at Lake Braddock Park.” The prospects spent the evening engaging in infield and outfield drills, demonstrating their ability to take and maintain control of the ball throwing to a designated base or cutoff men, and dialing in their prowess from the batter’s box against a live pitcher.

at the Fairview Park Marriott in the Falls Church area. Stephen Fuller, director of an institute named after him at George Mason University, moderated the forum. Building a cadre of future technology workers is crucial, said S. Tien Wong, CEO of Tech 2000 and Appnetic and chairman of Lore Systems. “We need to get these kids while they’re young and train them properly,” he said. Real economic growth will result from disruptive technologies, new innovations and entrepreneurism, Wong said. The government should remove barriers to facilitate employee recruitment and permit business growth, he said. “We need to encourage risk-taking and entrepreneurial thinking,” Wong said. “We have the assets. The role of government should be to help facilitate that.” Jennifer Aument, Transurban Inc.’s general manager for North America, said the company has a highly diverse workforce, 40 percent of which consists of technology professionals. Lacking the needed high-tech talent in Northern Virginia, Transurban has had to build teams in Texas and California to fill those needs, she said. Aument worried that volatility in the nation’s immigration policies could hurt recruiting, but she seemed optimistic elected officials would avoid a fresh round of federal-budget “sequestration” cuts.

The last time federal officials implemented such reductions, it cost Virginia 158,000 jobs and $9.8 billion in direct spending, Gov. McAuliffe told symposium attendees earlier that morning. Despite that possible threat on the horizon, consumer confidence has spiked sharply in the past few months, Aument said. Technology is making it easier for people to form new companies, said Carlson, who suggested business could be improved further if government contracting became more agile and offered more than just mega-contracts. Amazon has an employee-retraining program that focuses workers on their long-term careers, not just the immediate job at hand, Carlson said. The company benefits from Virginia’s highly educated workforce, she added. “You can throw a stone in this room and talk to somebody who’s done amazing things,” she said. “It’s an ecosystem right here.” Aument pressed for more direct foreign investment and said the region also needs world-class educational offerings, a stable regulatory environment and an effective workforce. Transurban’s leaders are “quite confident” about the future and have between $6 billion and $8 billion worth of infrastructure planned for the area. “You should be pessimistic about your commute,” Aument joked.

The Prince William County Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney Victim Witness Program is seeking candidates to fill a Victim Witness Case Manager position. A Case Manager provides services in accordance with the Virginia Crime Victim and Witness Rights Act and is grant funded by the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services. Duties include: providing written and verbal explanations of Victim and Witness Rights and how to obtain the program's services; providing information and assistance to facilitate notice of judicial proceedings and prisoner status; providing employer and other intercession services; providing accompaniment to court hearings, motions, meetings with prosecutors and law enforcement; assisting victims with completion of notification forms, victims’ compensation applications, confidentiality requests, Victim Impact Statements, restitution requests and any other necessary forms; assisting in obtaining interpreter services for

victims; coordinating with appropriate personnel to facilitate closed preliminary hearings and/or use of closedcircuit testimony; performing activities for the Program such as drafting correspondence, maintaining client and program records, and producing programmatic, statistical, and financial reports; providing crisis intervention services and referrals for counseling and other human services agencies.

WAMAC from page B1

At the opposite end of the hardwood, the Eagles employed highvelocity drives inside by Johnson and guard, Raymond Lindsey, while Kearney and forward, Rodney Monroe continually fired from the three-point arc for a string of clean buckets. Center, Maurice Johnson, mirrored Moen’s total commitment in the lane, barreling inside to snag rebound after rebound to keep his team in possession. The overwhelmed NSA Bethesda, trailing 54-36 late in the second period, found itself having to rely on points from the foul line before Belvoir ball handlers began draining the clock in a frustratingly effective way for the Warriors, keeping the ball rocketing around the perimeter and denying their opponent’s even an opportunity to force a foul. Bethesda managed to narrow the point deficit to 10 in the waning minutes of the contest, but that would be the limit of the Warriors’ late-game fortunes. The Eagles moved up a notch in the 2017 standings with the solid 6656 win. “It came down to the defense today,” Marshall said after the game. “We’ve got a young team out here this year, with only a couple of experienced outside shooters, but this is what we’re looking for in a WAMAC team.” For weekly results, game schedules and standings, visit http://www.quickscores.com/ Orgs/ResultsDisplay.php?OrgDir

Little League, the rules, they are a changin’ By Bill Behring Special to the Belvoir Eagle As I reported earlier, parents should not run out to buy their child a new baseball bat. The bats for players ages 12 and younger that have been authorized in the past, those having a maximum length of 33 inches, a maximum diameter of 2 ¼ inches, and a Bat Performance Factor (BPF) rating of 1.15, are still the norm for this year. However, in January 2018 no bat previously approved will be authorized. All bats for all baseball programs (Little League, Babe Ruth, Pony, etc.) must bear the USA Baseball logo signifying that it meets the USA Baseball Performance Standard. The good news for bats of next year is the barrel of the bat may be a maximum of 2 5/8 inches in diameter. While these are the changes taking place next year,

they are not used this year, which includes the fall 2017 season. Also, for some years now the Department of the Army has required all team managers and coaches to have background checks. In their applications for coaching, the Social Security number must be disclosed. Little League has for many years required all volunteers with repetitive access to youth players (i.e. team parents, scorers, helpers, umpires, etc.) to have background checks but this was only for sexual offences. The checks were made through the U.S. Department of Justice National Sex Offender Public Registry where the SSN was not required. This season the Little League background check must include checking for criminal offences, whereby the SSN must be used as the checks are done through a program titled First Advantage. All volunteers must

complete the Little League volunteer application which includes entering the SSN. Once the check is completed, the number will be obliterated on the form. This check must be completed each season. Some of the playing rules have changed as well: the intentional walk may now be called for by the team manager before a pitch is thrown, but the pitcher will still be charged with “throwing” four pitches. Second, the batter must keep at least one foot in the batter’s box during his entire time at bat. This has previously been the rule but now the batter will be charged with a strike should he step out. Of course, there are some exceptions to this, particularly if the batter thinks he will be hit with the pitch. Volunteer team managers are needed for the Tee Ball and Machine Pitch divisions. If you are in-

terested see Aricka Vaughan in the Youth Sports office at 9500 Barlow Road weekdays, except Fridays. She will give you the Little League volunteer application, the Department of the Army’s volunteer packet, which now includes being fingerprinted, and she’ll tell you everything you need to know about the Fort Belvoir Little League. Registration continues through February. Register at the Sosa building on Belvoir Road at 18th Street. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 7 a.m. 4:30 p.m. Registration is also available on the second Saturday of the month, 8 a.m. - noon.

Military Chefs Gather at Fort Lee Culinary Competition By Terrence Bell U.S. Army Garrison Fort Lee More than four decades later, the military’s premier culinary training event has evolved into something much greater than its meager beginnings. It is larger -- more than 200 competitors compete yearly, substantially more than the few dozen who competed at the start. It is more inclusive -- over the years, the Navy, Coast Guard and Air Force and foreign countries have all thrown their hats into the competitive ring. Camaraderie, Spirit Its appeal to spectators combined with the camaraderie, spirit and competitiveness of participants has made it one of the most unique military training opportunities in the Defense Department, despite ongoing budget restraints, said Chief Warrant Officer 3 J.D. Ward. “This event is healthy despite a fiscal climate of zero growth,” said Ward, the coordinator for the annual Military Culinary Arts Competitive Training Event scheduled at Fort Lee, March 4-9. “We’ve had to reduce the size of the competition and the overall expenditures in order to remain fiscally responsible, but it still remains the largest culinary competition in North America.” The MCACTE, in its 42nd year, was created specifically to improve the culinary skills of participants -- and thus the readiness of the force -- in an environment that is

Contestants compete in a past Military Culinary Arts Competitive Training event at Fort Lee, Va., Feb. 9, 2016. In its 42nd year, the competition endeavors to improve the skills of military food service personnel, thereby enhancing force readiness. intensely competitive yet nurturing and educational. Featured among the American Culinary Federationsanctioned events, are the Armed Forces and Student Chef of the Year competitions as well as a team event pitting installations and services against one another to determine an overall winner. Cooking Demonstrations In addition to the competitive events that will be ongoing from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, MCACTE features live cooking demonstrations, celebrity appearances and food displays that can be described as varied and illustrative. Furthermore, the popular Military Hot Food Kitchen Challenge

-- the event in which the public is invited to try out gourmet-inspired meals prepared during the competition -- will make a return appearance. The meals are $5.55 and seats are available on a first-come basis. Among the changes to this year’s event is a change in venue. The MacLaughlin Fitness Center at Fort Lee will accommodate this year’s competition rather than the Post Field House, which has hosted portions of MCACTE for more than a decade. The change is expected to have minimal impact on the competition from a competitor and spectator perspective, Ward said. Among the differences this year include a change in cooking facili-

ties used in the Military Hot Food Kitchen Challenge. The mobile trailers that were standard in the event will not be used this year, but competitors still employ the same cooking equipment. Diners may not even notice the change, Ward said. “In fact, it may be easier for them to better observe competitors’ cooking,” he said. Ward, who first competed in MCACTE as a private first class, said the competition is full of highlights, but from his viewpoint, the student team of the year event is the most inspirational. Student Team “These are groups of less-experienced, younger Soldiers competing and demonstrating advanced and fundamental cooking skills for the judges,” he said. “It’s a wonderful event because it exposes young service members to the profession in an entirely different light.” The winners in the student event go on to compare their skills against regional winners at the American Culinary Federation competition in July. “It’s an opportunity for those young chefs to compete against their civilian counterparts and demonstrate to the civilian sector just how talented military culinarians can be,” Ward said. The student chef of the year winner also will go on to compete at the same ACF event with the possibility of representing the United States at a 2018 international event in Switzerland.

He got us an approved short sale with $98,000 of forgiveness with No Hit to my Credit Score or Security Clearance. Plus $10,000 Cash Back at Closing! He also helped us purchase our new home within 1 week.” Superlative Job Sid!

He closed my sale with over $124,000 of total mortgage forgiveness, at No Cost to me. This service did not aﬀect my credit score or security clearance.” Semper Fi!

The Best Kept Secret in Real Estate! “Sid helped us when nobody else could. He got us out from under a house that would have plagued our family for years. Somehow he worked directly with our banks, and sold our house for much less than we owed, with complete forgiveness of all remaining balance. We also received $10,000 Cash at closing. The sale has not aﬀected my credit or security clearance.” R. Gussman
