Defense Logistics Agency gets new director By Dianne Ryder DLA Public Affairs Maj. Gen. Darrell Williams was simultaneously promoted to lieutenant general and appointed the Defense Logistic Agency’s 19th director in a ceremony, June 16 at the McNamara Headquarters Complex on Fort Belvoir. Williams previously served as commanding general of U.S. Army Combined Arms Support Command/Sustainment Center of Excellence at Fort Lee, Va. This is his second assignment with DLA; his first was as commander of DLA Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio, from September 2010 to July 2012. Despite the time difference, Gen. Vincent Brooks, commander, U.S. Forces Korea, officiated the promotion ceremony via video teleconference. “I believe that Darrell Williams is probably the most well-rounded logistician I’ve encountered in my career — and that is tall praise with the people (present) in that room,” Brooks said. “Darrell is a unique package when you put everything together and look at all he’s accomplished, as a person and a professional.” Brooks expounded on Williams’ varied experience at the tactical, operational and wholesale global levels. “Pretty much, the whole world has been a place touched by Darrell Williams and his service,” Brooks said. “His institutional experiences are unparalleled, as well.” Brooks joked that Williams “only had three master’s degrees” but noted the distinction of Williams’ selection as a small-group instructor at the Quartermaster School early in his career, where he trained fellow Service members to become proficient logisticians. Later, Williams graduated from Army’s Command and General Staff College’s School of Advanced Military Studies, where he learned the “art of war,” Brooks said. “There are not many logisticians who have taken that course,” he said. “Darrell Williams is one of them, and has demonstrated his extraordinary knowledge in applying what he learned there time and time again.” “Our nation has chosen well, and we will all be the beneficiaries because of this elevation that’s about to happen,” Brooks said. Brooks then administered the oath of office to Williams. After Williams’ wife, son and daughter affixed the shoulder boards of his new rank, Williams’ brother, James Williams, a Vietnam veteran, presented his brother with a beret with his new lieutenant general rank and saluted him. James MacStravic, performing the duties of the under secretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics, officiated the assumption of responsibility. He talked about DLA’s important role partnering with AT&L to support

Defense Department goals. “Your mission, expertise and experience will continue to be valued at the highest level,” he said. “Darrell, your expansive experience, demonstrated leadership qualities and absolute support to the warfighter will be a great asset here at DLA. You’ve been described as a great mentor and a ‘people first’ leader, and I have no doubt the DLA workforce will continue to thrive under your leadership.” MacStravic then presented the DLA command flag to Williams, assisted by Command Sgt. Maj. Charles Tobin, DLA’s senior enlisted leader. Williams opened his remarks to the audience by stating his leadership philosophy. “If you take care of your people, the mission will happen,” Williams said. He pointed out that the ceremony was not about him. “It’s about God, it’s about family and it’s about service to nation.” Williams said, early in his career, he had a hard time believing this promotion would come but said he now faces the opportunity with “confident humility — confident that the military has provided me with the requisite background experience, yet humbled by the enormity of the responsibility for leading a critical, global Department of Defense agency,” he added. Williams highlighted the importance of his career success to his family. “My task has been to take care of troops and

their families, take care of my own family and to follow the dimly lit path in front of me,” he said. Williams thanked his immediate family members for their support. “(It’s) been a priceless asset to our military, and frankly, to my effectiveness as a military officer.” Williams recalled his initial service in ROTC as an obligatory means toward a scholarship, but noted, “Somewhere along the path, I fell in love with our troops and families and bought into the idea of service before self.” Williams thanked troops and civilians and former agency directors, especially former DLA Director Air Force Lt. Gen. Andrew Busch, who retired May 11 and could not be present at the ceremony. Previous DLA directors Navy Vice Adm. Mark Harnitchek and Navy Vice Adm. Alan Thompson were in the audience. As a Department of Defense combat support agency, DLA provides the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, federal agencies, and partner nations with a variety of logistics, acquisition and technical services. The agency sources and provides nearly all of the consumable items America’s military forces need to operate, from food, fuel and energy, to uniforms, medical supplies, and construction and barrier equipment. DLA also supplies 86 percent of the military’s spare parts.

Let’s cultivate a conversation, appreciate our comrades Commentary by Col. Angie Holbrook Fort Belvoir Garrison Commander On June 26, we observe the Army’s June commemoration - LGBT - Lesbian Gay Bi-sexual Transgender Month at Fort Belvoir. Our theme is, “Cultivating the Conversation,” and we are hosting a panel discussion with members from the LGBT community and legal, clergy and medical personnel to become more familiar with the issues the LGBT community faces and how it affects military service. The best part of this panel discussion will be what you, the audience, bring - your thoughts and questions. We hope that, as we discuss how we all live, work and play together as a force; we will also come to value each other’s perspectives and how we live our lives. Mutual respect is a key component for teammates. Our goal going forward is that the conversation continues long after the event has ended. As the first LGBT observance at Belvoir, for many, this is a celebration; the first time they feel able to share in the open the life which before they only felt safe to live in the shadows. For others, there may be dissonance. Some may not be sure how they feel about the topic. Many religious beliefs or family values may have taught them the LGBT lifestyle is not one they understand or can agree with. Since the repeal of “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy in 2011, gay Service members have been allowed to serve openly and live honestly, the same way their straight battle buddies have always been afforded - the ideals that they are created equal and are endowed with “unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” regardless if other people understand or not. Our Army continues to be the great melting pot of American society, reflecting the rich diversity from which it’s drawn. As Soldiers, we hold to the highest standards to serve as a model and pattern for our nation to follow. Men and women who step forward and take the oath do so knowing the peril that awaits them; knowing the higher ideals and values to which they are called to uphold as an example for the world to see. We do so willingly “without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion,” because freedom needs a guardian and you and I are that guardian. A guardian does battle against enemies who come to harm what is precious. If the guardian loses and the enemy wins, the precious things we treasure are cast before swine and trampled. The things we hold dear will mean little and that will be the beginning of the end. As members of the same team, we must continue to strive to stay engaged with our team-

Eagle Volume 25 Issue 23

Defense Department observes LGBT Pride Month By DoD News Defense Media Activity The Defense Department observes June as LGBT Pride Month to recognize DoD’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Service members and civilians. DoD Pride, an employee resource group, hosted an annual celebration, June 12 at the Pentagon.

Holbrook mates and stoke the fire of our relationships to ensure everyone, no matter their personal belief systems, is treated with dignity and respect and like a fellow team member. Regardless of where you are on the issue, I think everyone would agree that the attitudes of today’s society are changing, in that the same policies that defined homosexuality as a mental defect more than 50 years ago have shifted. After the Supreme Court ruling that struck down the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013, the Defense Department announced it would extend spousal and family benefits for same-sex marriages that would be the same as those given for traditional marriages. Another phase line was crossed when the ban on service by openly transgender people in the military was repealed on July 1, 2016. Clearly, this is not our grandfather’s, or even our father’s, Army. The LGBT movement is a social movement that advocates for equalized acceptance in society. And, while you cannot legislate people to treat everyone fairly in every encounter, it is a start in the macro-sense to begin to change the paradigm. In military service, the most important thing we can count on is the trust we have in the Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine, and Coast Guardsman on either side of us. When bullets fly and chaos is all around, the stability of familiar friendly faces from our comrades will be the grounding force that keeps us from falling apart when everything around us tells us should turn back. It’s at this point that no one really cares what one’s sexual preference is. All that really matters is the person you are sharing the foxhole with has your back

Celebrating Diversity “As we celebrate the diversity of the total force, we honor all who have answered the call to serve, and their unwavering commitment to our shared mission,” he wrote. “During June, let us celebrate the diversity of the DoD workforce and rededicate ourselves to equity, dignity and respect for all.” and you have theirs. That is the indomitable spirit of the American fighting Soldier. You can drag him through mud, have her charge up hills, sleep deprive him, and think you have stolen her last ounce of hope. But, if that troop is so fortunate to have their battle buddy, white or black; rich or poor, gay or straight - and you are an enemy of the American cause heaven help you. The best way to combat ignorance is with education. The best way to combat hate is with love. There has never been a more resilient, spirited force than the one that fills our ranks today. No conflict has lasted as long as the one we are still in today. Being a Soldier requires more than courage. It requires the most sincere sacrifice of yourself for something greater than yourself. If we dare judge another, it should be that a person chooses to love, not by who they choose to love.

Aviation battalion’s C Company gets new leader By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Capt. Terikazu Onoda relinquished command of C Company, 12th Aviation Battalion, to Capt. Jareth Huber, June 15 at Davison Army Airfield. Lt. Col. Edward Meyers, 12th Aviation Battalion commander, said he was grateful for the leadership Onoda provided his company. Onoda became commander of C Company a little more than a year ago and, in that time, he’s accomplished more than others who had double the time. “What I truly value most … is Teri’s ability to bring a diverse group of pilots together and create a family,” Meyers said. Thanks to Onoda’s leadership, C Company established partnerships with the local community, flew more than 200 hours and helped to instill unit pride, Meyers said. Huber is no stranger to the 12th Aviation Battalion, he said. “Captain Huber has already (made) an impact on this unit, while serving as battalion adjutant,” Meyers said. “As such, he’s been a pivotal figure in the success of the battalion’s functionality.” The achievements made by the company, while under Onoda, were “nothing short of remarkable,” Huber said; but he will continue to lead a successful unit. Onoda described the harrowing journey he’s faced since he was in a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter, with two others, that crashed in Maryland in April. Onoda and one other crewman survived, while 22-year-old Spc. Jeremy Tomlin died from the crash. 12th Aviation Battalion Soldiers have unbreakable wills and spirits, which also repre-

C Company Soldiers always focus on the mission and are always willing to support each other. This was especially shown during and after the events of the crash. Onoda said he’d never forget the words a fellow Soldier said to him at the crash, “‘Don’t go anywhere brother, I’m right here with you.’”

Throughout his ordeal, with the support of family, friends and his unit, he said he would leave his position full of pride and honor at having been able to be around such wonderful people. “To my brothers and sisters, my CONAIR family -- thank you. I’m incredibly humbled to have the constant support you have given me and my family,” Onoda said.

Airfield gets new company first sergeant By Adrienne Anderson Staff Writer First Sgt. Clarence Davis relinquished his position in A Company, 12th Aviation Battalion to 1st Sgt. Michael Miller, June 16 during a Change of Responsibility ceremony at Davison Army Airfield. Capt. Steven Galbreath, A Company, 12th Aviation Battalion commander, said he first met Davis in 2015. “Immediately upon meeting him, I knew that we’d make a great team,” he said. Galbreath always relied on Davis to speak for Soldiers and to advocate on their behalf. Galbreath thanked Davis for his leadership and mentorship abilities, adding that he was a “true friend to everyone on the Viper team.” “We hold our standards high … no doubt you’ll live up to the standards,” Galbreath said about Miller. Being first sergeant of the company provided Davis with a true learning experience and allowed him to lead from the front, Davis said. “Serving as a first sergeant is one of the most rewarding jobs I could hope for,” he said. To A Company, Davis said they may not be the largest or the loudest unit, but they still are a major player in the battalion and play a role in the outcome of 12th Aviation Battalion’s success. The company has 35 personnel in it, according to

Former Night Vision director entering Hall of Fame Submitted by CERDEC Rudolf G. Buser, former director of Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center’s Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate, from 1988 – 1996, is one of five honorees being inducted into the Communications-Electronics Command’s Hall of Fame, Friday at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md. Three of the five inductees are from CERDEC, whose Night Vision Labs are on Fort Belvoir. Born in Ludwigshafen, Germany, Buser began his 38-year civil service career in 1958 at Fort Monmouth’s Institute for Exploratory Research in New Jersey, where he pioneered laser developments for radars, aided surveillance, and target acquisition. During his tenure as Night Vision director, “Rudy” helped structure the Army’s investment in electronics, laser and sensor technologies. Some of these, including the Forward Looking Infrared thermal sensor; the Thermal Weapon Sight; and the Driver’s Vision Enhancer, are still used. Under his direction, new methodologies were introduced to insert state-ofthe-art technology into fielded systems, including introducing Second Generation Forward Looking Infrared Horizontal Technology Integration. This concept, postulated by Buser, offered significant improvements in warfighting capabilities across the force structure. It enabled platforms to see the same battlefield, while helping maintain the integrity of

existing configurations, and commonality – all while incurring low-cost logistical and maintenance support. This novel approach, later pursued by the Army for Aviation Platform Application, resulted in a life-cycle cost savings then estimated at $820 million. He was a champion of integrating government and industry teams to conduct research and development, to develop critical sensor technology, while maximizing limited resources. Buser’s pioneering efforts in laser technology have helped the military and commercial sector realize the significance of such technology. Buser died Feb. 15, 2007. But, his impact is still felt, as his efforts catapulted the Defense Department from daytime, symmetric warfare to an asymmetric battlefield where our forces are able to carry out missions under the cover of darkness and, ultimately, “Own the Night.” Other inductees this year are: Raymond Filler; Robert Giordano; retired Command Sgt. Maj. Ray Lane and retired Lt. Gen. Alfred Mallette.

2nd IO Bn welcomes new command team By Spc. Derek Christensen 1st IO Public Affairs 2nd Information Operations Battalion, 1st Information Operations Command (Land), held its Change of Command and Responsibility Ceremony, where Lt. Col John F. Whitfield, Jr. relinquished command to Lt. Col. Kevin T. Riley and Sgt. Maj. Wesley C. Davis passed responsibility to Command Sgt. Maj. Michael T. Helton at Wood Theater, June 9. The event featured a special guest, Lt. Gen. Paul M. Nakasone, commander, U.S. Army Cyber Command, who greeted family members of the incoming and outgoing leaders before the ceremony. Col. James A. Skelton, 1st IO commander, welcomed the incoming command team and their families and expressed optimism about the battalion’s future. “This unit is poised to continue its outstanding reputation,” he said. “I look forward to watching 2nd IO Battalion grow, as we advance in operationalizing the command in a continually changing information

environment.” Skelton also spoke highly of the outgoing team. “There is no doubt that 2nd IO Battalion’s operational readiness is much-improved, as a direct result of your leadership.” Upon assuming command, Riley, who most recently served with Human Resources Command as a career manager and assignment officer, thanked the Whitfield family for their cordial reception before speaking about 2nd IO Battalion’s future. “I can think of no place I’d rather be today,” Riley said. “I look forward to working with all of you, side-byside, as we shape our future.” Riley ended his remarks by combining the brigade and battalion mottos, “Victory! Fear the dragon!” Having commanded the battalion since 2015, Whitfield will move on to the U.S. Army War College. He assured his successor he “is inheriting the premier cyber warrior force who will continue to serve our nation and our Army with the same passion and commitment they are known for.” Riley and Helton will lead the formation into a future filled with evolving cyber threats.

Hiking through history

Belvoir Ruins and Potomac Overlook Provided by DPW Along the eastern shore, atop cliffs that overlook the Potomac River and Accokeek, Md., sits the Belvoir Ruins and Potomac Overlook Trail. The breathtaking views we experience today have been enjoyed since the 18th century. The word “Belvoir” is French for “beautiful to see,” a sentiment, no doubt, felt by Col. William Fairfax. He settled the property in 1736 and completed the construction of his manor house and supporting structures in 1741. Centuries later, the site of this home sets the stage for the layout of the Potomac Overlook Trail. The site bore witness to pivotal events in our nation’s history, from launching George Washington’s social status, to the War of 1812; a walk through history is available right in our own backyard. The Belvoir Ruins and Potomac Overlook Trail begins at the Fairfax Village Community Center parking lot. A short stroll through the forest opens up upon what is known as the Belvoir Ruins. Here, the footprint of the Fairfax Manor is outlined and a variety of educational signs explain its history. Archaeological investigations at the site helped create the outline for the remains of the complex that burned down in 1783, leaving visitors with a sense of the complex’s layout. Interpretive signs also show pictures of the artifacts recovered from the site that give a glimpse into the lives of this highly influential family. The prominence of the Fairfax family is one that may not be fully realized by those of us working and living at Belvoir. In fact, it would be a more accurate statement to say that George Washington was privileged to enjoy a close friendship with the Fairfax family, rather than the other way around, at least initially. Not only were the Washington and Fairfax families close friends, they were also related through marriage. The president’s older half-brother, Lawrence Washington, married Anne Fairfax, the daughter of Col. William Fairfax, the cousin of Lord Thomas Fairfax, for whom the county was named. This connection to the Fairfax family helped George Washington rise up the social ladder of the Virginia gentry. In fact, it was this friendship that helped gain Washington his initial employment as a land surveyor. Just north of the manor house is an obelisk that stands in memory of Washington’s friends: Col. Fairfax; his wife, Deborah; and two of their sons. As hikers make their way to

Belvoir Ruins trail begins along Forney Loop, in Fairfax Village, and winds around the remains of Belvoir Manor Mansion, one of Virginia’s earliest plantations. where the front of the home faced the river, a newly established spur to the trail heads east and explores the spots where two cannon fortresses were located during the War of 1812. The cannon located here likely fired on British forces as they made their way up the Potomac after they burned the City of Washington. To the south of the homestead

begins the Potomac Overlook Trail. The trail traverses the cliff edges with various lookout points, historical signage, and benches to take in the view. Years of erosion have taken a toll on the trail’s southern part, causing a short section to be closed, leading to the establishment of a new section that eventually meets up with the current trail.

Bald eagles and ospreys can be seen perched high atop the cliffs, almost as if they are guarding the Belvoir ruins. Whether you are a historian or searching for a leisurely, relaxing stroll to take in the views, there is a little something for everyone here. So dust off your history books, grab your binoculars, and take a hike!

Fun Run draws huge turnout By Rick Musselman Sports Editor More than 200 Fort Belvoir community members converged on the Exchange early Friday morning to compete in the 2017 MWR-Exchange Fun Run, a massive increase from the AAFES 3-miler race in 2016 when unseasonably cool temperatures and drizzling rain limited the turnout to 40, said Karen Anderson, Exchange Safety and Health chair. The event, sponsored by MWR sports and fitness and AAFES was hosted by Bill Shoffner, Exchange general manager; Lt. Col. Christopher Tomlinson, Fort Belvoir garrison’s Headquarters Battalion commander; and Anthony Leon, Kawamura Human Fitness Center fitness program specialist. It came about when MWR joined forces with the Exchange to stage such an event to promote health and fitness across the installation, according to Sheila Edwards, Belvoir sports program director.

DTRA dominates in softball, books victory By Rick Musselman Sports Editor

Photo by Rick Musselman

DTRA shortstop, Grant Sharp, dishes the ball over to second for the forced out during his team’s intramural softball match up against CMRL.

Defense Threat Reduction Agency, unquestionably one of the most successful units in Belvoir athletics, brought its veteran roster and legendary unit cohesion fully to bear to summarily trounce Countermeasure Research Laboratory, 32-7 in an intramural softball hit-fest, June 12 at Pullen Field. DTRA has presented major obstacles to any opponent it has encountered throughout its celebrated history. With many softball and Commander’s Cup trophies displayed at its headquarters, the squad’s well known focus, work ethic and dedication to the cause, through consistently surgical fielding and power-hitting, came through loud and clear when CMRL drew the short straw to face the colossus on the ball diamond. Spearheaded by shortstop, Grant Sharp; first baseman, Rich Goad; second baseman, Phil Makayan; pitcher, Al Guerrero; and centerfielders, Gage Levak and Erik Viergutz—a coalition of players who have competed together for years—DTRA wasted no time finding its rhythm early and kicking the scoreboard into overdrive.

While I don’t necessarily loathe performing all those tedious household tasks we all have to face— making the bed, doing the dishes and wiping down the countertops— they do occasionally get old, to the point where I’ll put them off until minutes before someone’s due to arrive. But, I have learned to apply a little make-believe to these jobs, like pretending the dirty dishes will turn into gold bars once they hit the drying rack or imagining I’m driving around on that Zamboni ice resurfacer between periods at a hockey match while mopping the floor. Weird, I know. Well, with all the rain this spring, my grass-cutting sessions have multiplied exponentially, and those too, have gotten a bit tiresome. Last weekend I decided to break the monotony of the job and have a little artistic fun with it. There’s a bird bath in the center of the backyard, and that’s usually where I start, cutting a ring around its base as one might do around a tree. But this time, instead of starting my normal course back and forth across the property in straight lines, I kept going in ever widening circles around the birdbath, aiming to accomplish something artistic like those storied crop circles that shook everybody up a while back. It took a little doing trying to keep perfect rings going but I finally wound up at the edges of the yard, anxious to go upstairs and admire my masterpiece from the bathroom window. But, when I shut off the mower I found my head was swimming like the devil. Who’d have thought that project would have skewed my equilibrium, but it does kind of make sense. Anyway, I staggered around for a minute, getting my bearings, when I heard a voice from the street. “You OK, partner? Little early in the day to be hittin’ the sauce like that, don’t ya think?” I turned around cautiously and saw a man walking his dog. “Uh, just a little inner-ear trouble,” I said, already exasperated with him. “I don’t know, buddy. Just look at that yard,” he replied. There ain’t a straight line in it.” So much for appreciating the arts.

CMRL pitcher, Rodney Holmes, delivers the throw during his team’s intramural softball showdown with DTRA.

In addition to DTRA’s seemingly endless supply of hitting prowess, CMRL’s biggest challenge was minimizing costly fielding errors that plagued the squad from the opening inning—a situation that greatly aided DTRA runners to continually advance around the bags for scores. CMRL shortstop, Zac Vavrek, managed to slow things down with some outstanding grounder conversions, and right fielder, Ashley Clack, stayed busy getting the ball back in to second base to limit a number of DTRA’s would-be doubles and triples to singles. But the effort proved insufficient to stem the building tide. In the top of the third, already leading by 9, DTRA’s bats came alive in dramatic fashion. Goad drove 2 in via a double to center, Levak added a 2-run RBI single to his game stats, Viergutz brought 1 across the plate with a triple down the first base line, and right fielder, Scott Romanoff, cracked a double to right for another 1-run RBI. Sprinkled into the mix were perfectly placed singles up the middle from Sharp; third baseman, Scott Miller; catcher, Robert Richards; left fielder, Mark Hansberger; and extra hitters, William Eckles and Gheorghe Cormos, that CMRL found impossible to thwart as the onslaught continued. In the fifth frame, CMRL got a promising rally out of the starting gate, which included base hits

from Clack; Vavrek; pitcher, Rodney Holmes; second baseman, Omar Colon-Padilla; and left fielder, Mike Ferrick. Then, with two on base, first baseman, Brian Nelson, stepped up a belted a screamer to the left centerfield fence for a 3-run in-the-park homer. Unfortunately for CMRL, DTRA’s defense quickly brought things back under control with trademark fly grabs from Levak, Makayan and Goad. Back in the dugout, DTRA gave CMRL an encore exhibition of hitting precision that soon put the game completely out of reach. A series of singles from Sharp, Miller and Levak set the stage for another string of scores when Viergutz doubled for a 2-run RBI and Goad later cleaned the bags with a basesloaded triple to the left field fence, effectively bringing the curtain down on any hope for a comeback rally from CMRL. Final score: DTRA 32, CMRL 7. For regular-season results and standings visit http://www.quickscores.com/belvoirmwr.

Fort Hunt Warrior Ben Mellinger and Gabe Rudasill tackle a Royal Irish runner during the 2017 National High School Rugby Championship tournament, May 17 in Kansas City.

Fort Hunt Warriors travel to Missouri for rugby championship By John Dacey Special to the Belvoir Eagle Last month, the Fort Hunt Warriors traveled to Kansas City, Missouri, to participate in the invitational Boys National High School Rugby Championship tournament. Despite a stellar spring season, they fell in the final to Royal Irish from Indiana, 18-16. The Warriors brought a 17-2 record into the tournament, including a 5-0-0 grand slam of the inaugural Mid-Atlantic Premier League, a new boys high school league made up of teams in Virginia, D.C., and Pennsylvania, including perennial national rugby powerhouse Gonzaga College HS. The Warriors also went undefeated in Rugby Virginia, winning their fourth state championship in six years, May 13. For much of the spring season, the Warriors were the top-ranked high school club rugby team in the U.S. In the national championship quarterfinals, the number-one seeded Warriors faced the big and aggressive Elsie Allen Lobos out of California’s Central Valley. The Warriors took a while to find their footing, but finished the game convincingly with a 40-13 win to advance to the tournament semi-final. In the semifinals, the Warriors faced another California team, defending national champions, Granite Bay. The game was hard and fast from the opening kickoff, but true to the game plan, the Warriors scored first early on, played strong defense and held off Granite Bay to claim a 10-8 victory. On the tournament’s third and final day, the Warriors went into the national championship game against the Royal Irish from Indianapolis, last year’s runner-up. While this was the Warriors’ first trip to the national championship tournament, the Royal Irish had played in six national championship games, and had won three times. The Warriors came into the final ranked number one, but were missing their top player due to injury and were considered an underdog against the more-experienced Royal Irish. To the surprise of many fans and to the shock of the Royal Irish, the Warriors came out hitting

The Warriors took the lead early on a bruising try by prop Bailey Iboleon. Even when the Royal Irish regained their composure in the second half, the best they could do was to tie the score at 11, only to see the Warriors to pull ahead 16-11 on shifty run by fullback Daiimon Cleveland. Unfortunately, with 90 seconds left in the match, the Royal Irish drove to the Fort Hunt goal line and scored to tie the game at 16. Royal Irish made the difficult conversion from the sideline, and the Warriors ran out of time, falling 18-16. Despite the extremely disappointing loss in the championship match, the Fort Hunt Warriors returned to Virginia as the national high school rugby runner-up. Captain Sean Dowling summed it up. “This year was the culmination of four years of hard work for the seniors,” he said. “We had set a goal as freshmen to win the national championship. Although we came up just shy of that goal, we earned the respect of the U.S. Rugby community and cemented ourselves as a team capable

of winning a national championship, year in and year out.” After the tournament, seven Warriors players were named as players of the tournament: flyhalf, Robert Figley; center, Erik Roach; wing, Andrei Golding; prop, Sean Dowling; lock, Zack Monson; flanker, Jack McCrossin; and number eight, Dan Trump. In all, 13 current Warriors players have been selected for representative sides, the East Coast U-19 team and the national U-19 and U-20 teams. The Warriors, a club sport established in 2011 as part of the Fort Hunt Youth Athletic Association, draws players from 11 high schools across Northern Virginia, including numerous athletes from West Potomac High School. In addition to their recent national success, the Warriors varsity team has a cumulative record of 91-15. The team includes a 1st side, a 2nd side, and a JV side. It is open to all high school students and no experience is needed. More information is available at www.forthuntrugby.org. The Warriors are grateful to the parents and sponsors for their magnificent support, through a season that began in January.

Sgt. Tijshawna Moore at Belvoir Police Department dispatch, June 16. Moore was recognized for recently completing the rigorous Fly Away Security Team (FAST) Training at Andrews Air Force Base, Md.

A FAST first for Belvoir MP By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer

#DeclareYourDay @QLNational

Sgt. Tijshawna Moore, a military police officer and dispatcher for the 212th Military Police Detachment, became the first female Soldier to complete Fly-Away Security Team training, or FAST, at Joint Base Andrews. The training, also called “PreRaven,” prepares participants for aircraft security missions. It’s the first level of training, and those who complete it can move on to receive training in the Phoenix Raven program. Moore described the first week of three as the most harrowing for her, with physical and Armament Systems and Procedures baton training every day. She also learned verbal judo, which teaches how to persuade people in high-risk situations, and did Redman fights. But, throughout it all, the most important characteristic of the training was teamwork, she said. “I was the only Army Soldier and the only female with a group of Airmen,” she said, adding that, because of the situation, she was standoffish at first. “But, by the end of the whole experience, we all came together as one; it was like we were a family at the end.” The training also pushed Moore to the limits. She was injured in the first week and had hip pain that made it difficult for her to walk. However, she refused to quit. “I tried to stick it out because … I didn’t want to fail out,” she said. “I wanted to quit so many times, but I stuck it through, because the people

I was with made sure that I did the best you can.” After getting emergency care and doctors telling her if she’d come earlier they’d have told her to not continue the training, Moore pushed through successfully. “Right now, I’m going through physical therapy to help with my hips,” she said. “I’m just doing everything I can to make sure I’m healthy. I don’t regret anything. I’m glad that I pushed through it and that I didn’t quit, to be honest.” Despite her injuries and her status as the only woman in the group, she received no special treatment she said. “We were all a team. But, the instructors didn’t treat me any differently because I was injured, and they didn’t treat me any differently because I was woman,” Moore said. “They made sure we understood what a team was. They made sure that we finished together.” The training not only taught her a lot about herself, but helped boost her confidence. She said the instructors appointed her as class leader on the second day of training. “That means they saw more potential in me than I did in myself,” Moore said. Once she she’s received the certificate, she realized she wanted to see how far she could test the waters, she said. Before the training, she wasn’t sure what she wanted to do in her military career, but now she has a new focus. “I want to show that anyone can do what they put they put their minds to,” she said. “That’s what I think every day when I put that uniform on.”

Fireworks: What you should know Submitted by Fort Belvoir DES Fire and Emergency Services Division The Fort Belvoir Fire and Emergency Services Division wants to ensure that everyone takes steps to prevent Independence Day festivities from turning into a tragedy at family picnics, outings to the beach and neighborhood barbecues. Each July 4, hundreds of children are permanently disfigured due to burns by fireworks. Here’s what you should know: • On Fort Belvoir, all fireworks are illegal to own or discharge, including gold-label sparklers. Snapand-pop noise makers, snakes, and party poppers are the only fireworks authorized on Belvoir. • Each year, fireworks in the U.S. cause approximately 12 deaths, 2,000 serious eye injuries, and 5,000 other injuries, including amputated fingers. • Although many people mistakenly believe sparklers are safe, they burn at 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit nearly hot enough to melt gold. Celebrate wisely • Teach children that fireworks are not toys. Explain the dangers of explosives and fireworks to your children. • Do not allow children to handle fireworks, including sparklers. Set a good example and do not handle fireworks or sparklers yourself.

• Get the proper permits and insurance before holding any public fireworks display. Enjoy the thrill of fireworks and pyrotechnics at public displays by licensed professionals. Buying fireworks • Roadside stands in Virginia are inspected and permitted by the jurisdiction’s fire marshal. The Commonwealth of Virginia has an authorized list of approved fireworks and municipalities often make that list more stringent. • Consumers who want to buy fireworks should ensure a roadside fireworks stand is permitted by the local jurisdiction and check with the jurisdiction where they live for local fireworks ordinances and approved fireworks lists. Be careful and have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend. For more information about fireworks, contact the Fort Belvoir Fire Marshal’s Office, 703-805-2091.

The Army and Air Force Exchange Service is taking some of the stress of moving to a new duty station off Service members’ shoulders this PCS season. Through Aug. 9, Service members can present their orders to any AAFES customer service desk and get an Operation PCS Benefit Card. The card entitles Service members to 5 percent off qualifying purchases of $100 or more when they use their Military Star card in stores or at www.shopmyexchange.com. Benefit cards are valid for 90 days from issuance date. “PCS’ing is no picnic, and the associated costs are known to cause sticker shock,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Luis Reyes, the Exchange’s senior enlisted adviser. “Shopping with the Exchange’s Operation PCS Benefit Card may help military families ease some of the financial burdens of moving to a new duty station.” Soldiers and Airmen may use the Operation PCS Benefit Card on as many qualifying transactions as they wish. The card does not apply to fuel purchases, gift cards and uniforms or purchases at restaurants,

concessions, the Exchange Online Mall and other services’ exchanges. To apply for a Military Star card, authorized shoppers can visit www. MyECP.com. The card’s benefits include: • 10.99 percent interest rate—the lowest flat rate among store cards • No annual, late or over-limit fees • 10 percent off first-day purchases • 10 percent off Exchange food court purchases • 5 cents per gallon savings at Exchange gas stations • Free standard shipping at shopmyexchange.com With every purchase, cardholders can also earn rewards program points.

Bridging ceremony celebrates Belvoir sixth-graders By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Fort Belvoir Upper School sixthgraders are moving on to middle school and the upper school hosted a bridging ceremony marking the occasion, Monday. This is the first time the ceremony was conducted at the school. Fort Belvoir Elementary School campus opened for the 2016-2017 school year after renovation of Fort Belvoir Primary School, formerly Fort Belvoir Elementary School, and the new edition of Fort Belvoir Upper School. Theresa Carhart, upper school principal, congratulated the students for successfully advancing to their next journey. She described the students’ experiences as being similar to Col. Angie Holbrook, Fort Belvoir Garrison commander. She described Holbrook as being the shortest kid in the class, and that Holbrook was also the oldest of three children. Holbrook participated in many sports, including basketball, track and softball while in school, and her favorite subject was language arts. Carhart reminded the kids they could be what they wanted to be, just like Holbrook, who achieved many things in her life. “Realize your future is full of endless opportunities,” Carhart said. “You can become anything that you can dream.”
