Fort Belvoir DFMWR Director Berry Patrick, left, is surprised by Stephen Brooks, U. S. Army Garrison Fort Belvoir Deputy Commander, his command team and staff; with an award of the Order of the White Plume, Feb. 16 at the Fort Belvoir Officers’ Club.
Belvoir director receives top MWR award By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Berry Patrick, Fort Belvoir’s MWR director, recalled the phone call from his staff about a broken pipe at the Officers’ Club. Patrick was informed people needed to be evacuated from the building. With a building as old as the Officers’ Club, he said he wasn’t surprised. “When I got the call that there was a problem – it was believable,” he said. However, when he got to the club, he was taken aback by the people still in the building. He was so focused on locating the pipe issue that he didn’t suspect the real reason he was called to the club. He was even more surprised to find his wife there. Still confused by the situation, Patrick said she insisted he sit down. Then, he was informed there would be a presentation. Patrick was presented with the prestigious Order of the White Plume, the top Army MWR award. “We’re so lucky to have Berry Patrick here at Fort Belvoir as our director,” said Stephen Brooks, deputy to the garrison commander. “He has made such a difference in nearly every job he’s ever had.”
Patrick started his career with MWR in the late-1970s as a young, enlisted Soldier. In 1975, while living on Fort Gordon, he said he lived across from the recreation center. He wanted to do something productive and was encouraged to volunteer with MWR, which was called Special Services back then. He volunteered at the recreation and youth centers at Fort Gordon, volunteered as a youth sports coach and ran a summer camp. It was these opportunities that got him hooked on working within MWR. “I made it a career goal to go into MWR,” he said. Since beginning his career, Patrick said he’s had four tours as MWR director. Having worked from the very bottom and working his way up led him to have a number of experiences that made him skilled. “Over time, with all of those different experiences, he started building up a broad technical expertise,” Brooks said. “In addition to that, he’s a very talented person, and he’s a great leader because he has such great ethics.” Brooks said Patrick “walks the talk” when it comes to leadership and has excellent business acumen. “He would never ask a subor-
dinate to do something that he wouldn’t do himself,” Brooks said. Patrick’s skills were tested when he worked was as MWR director at U.S. Army Garrison BadenWurttemberg in Germany. There were four communities, with 1,200 people in the garrison. They had to close two of the four communities, with tasks including redistributing property and equipment; helping people find jobs; and continuing to run MWR services until the last people left. Such a large task was difficult, he said. At Fort Belvoir, Brooks said Patrick and his team have made the installation’s programs one of the best in the Army. For example, three years ago, the golf course almost closed, but MWR was able to revamp the course by cutting costs and having an effective marketing plan. “We went from being at risk of closing the only Army golf course in the National Capital Region, to being the best run golf course in the entire Army,” Brooks said. These, and other achievements, couldn’t be accomplished without help, Patrick said. “I received the award, but you don’t receive that kind of award without having a really good team and staff that does the hard work every day,” he said.

National Ground Intelligence Center welcomes new commander By National Ground Intelligence Center, Rivanna Station The National Ground Intelligence Center on Rivanna Station welcomed its incoming commander and paid tribute to the departing commander at a change-of-command ceremony Feb. 16, in NGIC’s Nicholson Auditorium. Col. Dana Rucinski assumed command from outgoing commander, Col. Ketti C. Davison, who served the center since 2015. Maj. Gen. Christopher S. Ballard, commanding general, U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command, Fort Belvoir, was the event’s host. During his remarks, Ballard said that commanders are expected to leverage every ounce of individual talent, encourage every spark of collective initiative, and to create a unity of purpose within the unit that accomplishes every given mission. “The Art of Leadership demands a commander use many tools and methods to accomplish that mission—to motivate, cajole, discipline, encourage, and inspire,” Ballard said. “They are taught to be good stewards of the resources entrusted to them; to hoard all blame to themselves and share all accolades with the entire formation.” “This ceremony should remind us that despite our best efforts to achieve the most effective or efficient business model and confidently use terms like “enterprise solutions”, “federated production”, and “corporate culture”…this is not a business,” Ballard said. “Our ‘business’ is to protect Soldiers’ lives and produce relevant, timely, accurate intelligence that enable commanders’ to be decisive.” The Soldiers and civilians who perform such a vital role for our commanders’ forces serving around the globe were also honored in the ceremony. Ballard officially welcomed Rucinski to the NGIC and INSCOM and extended best wishes on her new command. “We especially recognize the tremendous work Col. Ketti Davison has done in leading this remarkable organization for the past 22 months and welcome Col. Dana Rucinski, who will lead NGIC into the fu-
ture,” Ballard said. “NGIC is made up of true professionals; conducting unparalleled technical, operational, and intelligence support to critical strategic missions. You have provided that essential, doctorate-level intelligence support to the Department of Defense; field commanders; research development communities and national policy makers.” During Davison’s remarks, she said being a commander at the center reinforced the importance of remembering the purpose of the mission that inspires her service in the Army as a Soldier. “I have been honored and humbled by the opportunity to lead such a unique organization with an incredibly talented workforce whose reputation for excellence and integrity is recognized across the globe,” Davison said. Davison said the Amy’s operational concept is to win in a complex world by understanding the asymmetric landscape. “You simply cannot understand this complex world without NGIC,” Davison said. “Only NGIC has the subject matter experts with countless years of experience and extensive depth of knowledge across all aspects of the land and human domains that underpin our current fights and will ensure our nation wins the wars of the future.” Davison ended by wishing her successor, Rucinski, a great future at NGIC and in Charlottesville. “Dana, congratulations, you are now leading the most talented workforce on the face of the planet. They will never let you down,” Davison said. Rucinski said she was humbled by the opportunity to join the NGIC team after experiencing firsthand the difference that NGIC makes to our Soldiers who have been engaged in long, tough fights against determined, adaptive adversaries. “I look forward to serving the Army here at the National Ground Intelligence Center for the next two years,” Rucinski said. “This is an exciting time for the intelligence community and I can’t imagine a better place to do the work of the American people than right here in Charlottesville.”

Celebrating Women’s History Month: Women Aviators By Tracey Lyles Army Live Blog When one thinks of women in aviation, the image of Amelia Earhart normally comes to mind. However, were you aware that women have been flying since the late 1700s, when, in 1784, Elisabeth Thible became the first woman to fly in a hot air balloon; and, in 1798, Jeanne Labrosse was the first woman to fly solo, also in a balloon. Women aviators displayed their skills in aeronautical engineering when E. Lillian Todd in 1906, became the first woman to design and build an airplane, though it never flew. Two years later, Madame Therese Peltier became the first woman to fly an airplane solo. Women aviators of color refused to allow race and gender discrimination hinder their dreams of flying planes, as evidenced by Bessie Colman who, in 1921, became the first African American, male or female, to earn a pilot’s license. Ten years later, Katherine Cheung became the first woman of Chinese ancestry to earn a pilot’s license. Let us not forget the women who have helped pioneer space travel. Sally Ride, the first American woman to travel to space in 1983, remains the youngest American astronaut to have traveled to space, having done so at age 32.
Dr. Mae C. Jemison became the first African American woman to travel in space when she went into orbit aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor Sept. 12, 1992. Liu Yang served as a crew member on the space mission Shenzhou 9. On June 16, 2012, Yang became the first Chinese woman in space. Unfortunately, pioneer women aviators were not immune to tragedy in the sky. In 1809, Marie Madeleine Sopie Blanchard became the first woman to die while both flying in and watching fireworks in her hydrogen balloon. Sadly, on July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly solo from Hawaii to the American mainland and the first president of the NinetyNines, an organization made up of women pilots; was lost over the Pacific Ocean. It is the most well-known tragedy involving a female aviator. Indian-born astronaut Kalpana Chawla, who has the distinction of being the first Indian woman in space, perished with six other crew members when space shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere Feb. 1, 2003. Christa McAuliffe, the first teacher in space, was one of seven crew members killed in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, which was in January 1986. From hot air and hydrogen balloons to aircraft to space shuttles, women aviators continue to make strides as well as history.

Belvoir Soldiers honored in NCO induction ceremony By Jocelyn Broussard Army INSCOM Public Affairs Fort Belvoir welcomed 29 Soldiers into the Army’s Noncommissioned Officer Corps during a ceremony hosted by the U.S. Army Geospatial Intelligence Battalion in Belvoir’s Thurman Auditorium, Friday. The NCO Induction Ceremony is a tradition for Soldiers who have been promoted to the rank of sergeant. Senior NCOs convey to newly promoted sergeants the special pride and sense of esteem felt when a young Soldier enters the NCO Corps. “It’s a big deal for an NCO to make the right of passage from follower to leader. To celebrate it with them is an honor,” said Command Sgt. Maj. Jason Gonzales from the U.S. Army Geospatial Intelligence Battalion, who served as the ceremony’s presiding official. Three NCOs representing NCOs of the past, present and future lit candles displayed behind wooden “N,” “C” and “O” letters. A red candle represented valor; a white candle, honor and integrity; and a blue candle, vigilance. Guest speaker, Command Sgt. Maj. William G. Bruns, U.S. Army Cyber Command and Second Army, shared his experiences with the audience and emphasized that leading is not an easy task. “Induction into the NCO Corps is not automatic. It’s a tremendous accomplishment and, definitely, hard earned,” Bruns said. “Leading Soldiers is an awesome responsibility that should not be taken lightly. It is hard work and a great privilege.” Bruns shared his four leadership principles, which have become a way of life for him and his family. He used the acronym “SLRP” for Standards and Discipline, Leadership and Development, (Professional) Relationships and People. “Sergeants are the first line of standards and discipline,” Bruns said. “It is very important that you understand what the regulation is saying and you are in direct and complete compliance 24/7, not just at work. Remember, standards don’t move and neither should your character. A young Soldier is always watching whether you are at work or Walmart, so always be professional.” Bruns emphasized that standards and discipline can either elevate or destroy a team or squad. He informed the Soldiers to use their power and influence wisely. “It is essential that we treat our NCOs with fairness and candor, constantly developing our younger leaders, so they are prepared for various conflicts and challenges,” Bruns added. As their names were called, the Soldiers walked through the NCO arch, signifying their transition from junior enlisted to NCO.

Archers from various regions across Virginia compete in a 2017 Virginia Bowhunters Association archery tournament, Saturday at Outdoor Recreation’s Indoor Range.
Belvoir hosts state archery competition By Rick Musselman Sports Editor Nearly 30 bow hunters and competitive archers converged at Fort Belvoir’s newly renovated Indoor Archery Range to compete in a 2017 Virginia Bowhunters Association indoor sectional championship tournament, Saturday and Sunday. The event, sponsored by MWR and Outdoor Recreation, gave some of the state’s most accomplished long- and compound-bow practitioners a chance to face off against each other across several age divisions, each vying to ultimately claim the crown of state champion at the end of the year-long tournament. Belvoir Bowhunters; Bowhunters of Rockingham; Kingsboro Bowmen and Sherwood Archers are the hosting archery organizations for the 2017 state indoor sectionals. BOR is the lead club to consolidate all the results. According to Dale Bakari, Belvoir Bowhunters president, staging the competition at Belvoir marked
a special partnership between the installation’s command team and MWR, and the sportsmen and -women from all over the region who have made the archery programs so popular. “Fort Belvoir has enjoyed a national reputation for its archery program and has produced numerous national champions. This wonderful facility is the result of a joint effort by MWR staff and the Belvoir Bowhunters. We’re proud of the building and the archery program here, and believe both have a bright future,” he said. “We’ve hosted this tournament for several years and each time it’s a resounding success, in terms of participation and the support provided by the Belvoir Bowhunters and the MWR staff. I’m very proud of the long tradition and association Fort Belvoir has with the Belvoir Bowhunters and the VBA,” Bakari said. Archers competed in three rounds on Saturday and Sunday in eight age and skill divisions. Participants fired at a regulation, five-disk target
array (40 cm square) and the shooters who planted the arrowhead closest to the centers advanced to the ensuing rounds. “There will also be shoots later this year that will take advantage of our indoor ranges and I hope archers plan to spend some time here enjoying those activities,” Bakari added. George Dickson, Fort Belvoir DFMWR business operations officer; and Kristin Kinnamon, community recreation chief, attended the event on behalf of Col.

About a month ago, when rain and wind was battering the region with almost hurricane-like zeal, I realized I’d left my notes from a ball game in my Jeep. Looking out my office window, I kept trying to think up other things I could do without having to go out into that mess. After cleaning my desk, picking up some carpet lint and disinfecting the phone, I realized I was out of excuses, grabbed my umbrella and headed out. No sooner was I on the sidewalk that a gust of wind buffeted the compound, flipping my umbrella inside-out and nearly knocking me down. Indeed, it made it nearly impossible to keep hold of the umbrella, and even in its messed up state, it felt like it was pulling me along like a water ski towline. That’s when the gears in my head meshed and an idea was born. Somebody once said that the best ideas don’t need to be written down to remember, because the good ones stay with you, returning to your thoughts over and over again in random yet cyclic repetitions. Well, with that in mind, this one must have been grand because it stayed with me all day long and I spent my entire commute home working out the particulars. What I envisioned was Umbrella Boarding—standing on a skateboard with an open umbrella, eliminating the need to ever put shoe to asphalt. Now, I figured I’d need not just an ordinary umbrella, but one of those giant golf varieties (although I still can’t grasp how you play golf holding one) and, as it happens, I’d picked one up on sale at a hardware store a few years ago and had yet to find a use for it. Of course, by the time I got home the wind had slackened, and after several ensuing days of deadcalm conditions, the idea went temporarily out of my head. Still, I remain committed to this project; I just hope I don’t have the luck I had the day I saw Mary Poppins and then tried to use an umbrella to float off my dad’s tool shed roof.

Coed volleyball tourney returns to Belvoir By Rick Musselman Sports Editor Fort Belvoir is again hosting one of the most action-packed sporting events of the year, April 15 at Wells Field House to salute the Military District of Washington and give Service members and civilians from area military installations a chance to participate in some friendly competition. The 4th annual Coed Invitational Volleyball Tournament, sponsored by Fort Belvoir DFMWR, will draw nearly 100 athletes from all over the Washington, D.C., area. Last year, players from Fort Lee; Joint Base Andrews; Joint Base Langley – Eustis; U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters; and the Navy Research Lab, competed against several Belvoir teams in a one-day, tournament. Justin Fitzgerald, Belvoir’s intramural sports program coordinator and sports facility manager, hosts the tournament, with first serve at 8 a.m. “This began the year before last when we called this the Mother’s Day Invitation tournament; we just moved it up a bit in 2015,” said Richard Tatem, Fort Belvoir fitness coordinator, in 2016. “This is meant to give players from all over the MDW a chance to come out and compete on a level a little higher than intramurals and to build some camaraderie.” Team rosters will be made up of 12 players (18 and older) with a minimum of two females on the court at all times. Following USVA rules, squads will play a minimum of three matches (21-point score cap), consisting of three sets and the top six teams will advance to a singleelimination tournament. Awards will include 1st and 2nd place team, 1st and 2nd place individual, one all-tournament coach, and one most valuable player. The cost is $150 per team and each team must submit a Letter of Intent and team roster form, along with their registration payment, by 6 p.m., April 1 at Graves Fitness Center. At that time, registration will be locked and the final schedule will be produced to be distributed by 6 p.m. April 12. Registration forms may be completed in advance and turned in at Graves or mailed, with payment, to the address on the form. Hampton Inn and Suites is offering reduced rates to visiting teams. Show your team registration form to receive the reduced rate. The local Hampton Inn & Suites is at 8843 Richmond Highway, Alexandria, Va. 22309. Call them at 703-619-7026.

Crosswalk safety tips for walkers, drivers, riders From Installation Safety Office Whether you walk, bike or drive, take 5 seconds to follow crosswalk safety guidelines. Pedestrians • Always cross at marked crosswalks. You forfeit your rights as a pedestrian if you cross elsewhere. • Obey any pedestrian signals and look left-right-left to make sure the road is clear both ways before crossing. • If a vehicle approaches, make eye contact with the driver to be sure he/she sees you before you cross.
• Look before walking past stopped vehicles. Do not cross just because a driver waves you on. Be sure all lanes are clear first. • Remember that bicyclists are not considered pedestrians unless they are walking their bikes. Otherwise, they are considered vehicles. Bicyclists • Yield to pedestrians. • Remember that bicyclists are not considered pedestrians unless they are walking their bikes. Otherwise, they are considered vehicles and forfeit their rights as pedestrians in the case of an accident or ci-
tation. • Use marked bike paths or multi-use paths when available. • Obey vehicular traffic signals and laws on the roadways. • Use extra caution as you transition between bike paths, roads and sidewalks. Be aware that your actions are unpredictable to drivers and pedestrians. Drivers • Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and at intersections. • Be prepared to stop at all marked crosswalks. Stay alert and reduce speed in areas with cross-
walks. • Be alert for bicyclists and skateboarders whose approaches to the crosswalk may be much swifter than pedestrians’. • Come to a complete stop if pedestrians are crossing or preparing to cross. • Wait until pedestrians have crossed at least one lane past the lane you are in before resuming travel. • Never pass another vehicle that has stopped or is slowing down at a crosswalk.

For hospital staff member, giving back is all in a day’s work By Alex Snyder Belvoir Hospital Public Affairs Every year, more than 2 million women worldwide are diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer, but survival rates are largely determined by where a woman lives in the world, with many deaths in developing countries deemed preventable by U.S. healthcare standards. In an effort to help those without access to regular screenings for the diseases, Fort Belvoir Community Hospital cytotechnologist, Myriam Jean-Alexis, recently traveled to Haiti with the collaborations of American Society of Cytopathology and Innovating Health International, along with the Haitian Ministry of Health, to open the first pathology lab in the country and train pathology workers in identifying cervical and breast cancer cells. “The test for identifying these types of cancers takes no more than a few minutes to carry out,” said Jean-Alexis, who spent two weeks in Cap Haitien, Haiti. The test is brief and painless, inexpensive and life-saving. Yet, all too often in Haiti, cervical cancer goes undiagnosed, she added. In Haiti, which historically has limited health infrastructure and widespread poverty, the disease often goes undetected until it is too late. “No structured screening program is in place. So, when women come

Health Organization, and it is often fatal. A 2014 WHO report shows that out of 3,100 women killed by cancer in Haiti, nearly one fifth died of cervical cancer. By contrast, in countries like the U.S., cervical cancer is nowhere near the most common cancer. This is, in part, because early detection and treatment can prevent precancerous lesions from growing – something that requires trained staff and regular check-ups. Vaccines to prevent
human papillomavirus, or HPV, cervical cancer’s main cause, are also available in more affluent countries. “Cervical cancer is a disease of great inequities that mainly affects the most vulnerable groups of women,” said Dr. Macarena Pérez Castells in a report of the Pan American Health Organization. “Mortality rates are seven times higher in (Latin America and the Caribbean) compared to North America, and the gap is projected to widen even further by 2025.” Jean-Alexis and others at Belvoir Hospital hope to close that gap by further volunteering in the country. “The program that (Jean-Alexis) participated in is going to be in Haiti for a long time,” said Sgt. 1st Class Kevin Atiase, acting supervisor and senior enlisted leader of the hospital’s pathology department. “Early detection is key. To be able to assist patients with a diagnosis when the disease is at a low level is important. Lives are saved because of the work that we do in our profession. It’s important to bring that care to underprivileged people around the globe.” Added Jean-Alexis, “Whenever there is an opportunity to help those more unfortunate than ourselves, especially women, who are often not offered the same rights and access as females in the United States, we should. It’s rewarding for us who do it and it’s rewarding for those who are receiving our care.”

Take the pledge: Military Saves Week promotes financial health By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Fort Belvoir Army Community Service’s Financial Readiness Program kicked off Military Saves Week, Monday. The campaign’s goal is to promote excellent savings habits and help military and their families become financially healthy. “Sometimes, when we have a goal, if we don’t use that SMART acronym where we make it specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and put a timeline – then we fail to accomplish those goals,” said Michele Godfrey, personal financial counselor, adding that the goals are up to each individual. “You are in charge of your finances.” She encouraged others to take the pledge to start their savings goals. Stephen Brooks, deputy to the garrison commander, signed the Military Saves Week Proclamation on behalf of Col. Angie Holbrook, garrison commander. Brooks recalled his 31-year military career where he started as an enlisted Soldier. “When you’re young, you don’t have much money and the world looks very intimidating to you and everything looks very expensive to you,” he said. It can be a challenge to become stable, especially if you lack financial knowledge, Brooks said. Finances are the top issue of conflict in families. “This is why we emphasize financial readiness. It’s to alleviate potential issues in military families and to give young Soldiers and their families good grounding on basic finances (such as) how to stay out of debt or save your money using the gift of compounding.” When you’re young, you may not realize that if you save a small amount of money over time, that money compounds through interest, he said. “This is what our financial planners do,”

Enlisted spouses club hosting gala for scholarship fund By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer The Belvoir Enlisted Spouses’ Club is hosting its second scholarship gala in support of military family members and their education. The gala is from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., March 11 at the Hilton Springfield. “The club wanted to put together a fun event that celebrates the scholarship fund,” said Rachel Marston, BESC president, adding that the gala is a way for military families to come together. “This gala is for us, and our children, to help pursue higher education.” The theme for the gala is “delivering dreams,” which focuses on helping others achieve their goals. Sometimes while pursuing education, people forget about tuition, Marston said. “The tuition portion doesn’t get thought about when applying and pursuing education,” she said. “We don’t want tuition to be a deterrent
for families. We want to encourage and motivate military dependents to continue pursuing their dreams.” Tickets are $50 to $400, and all proceeds go to the Belvoir Enlisted Spouses’ Club Scholarship Fund and welfare events. The gala includes a silent auction, food, dancing and a cash bar. While the gala supports a serious cause, Marston wants guests to know that it will be a down-toearth affair put on by spouses. It encourages fun and a chance to get out and get dressed up. “It’s a close and intimate one that’s going to be enjoyable,” she said. “It’s a fun a way to put together and raise money, and have good food and good company.” Everyone is welcome at the gala. People who want to go are encouraged to buy tickets as soon as possible. For up-to-date information and tickets, visit www.eventbrite. com and search for Fort Belvoir Scholarship Gala.

Belvoir Briefs Bird volunteers needed
Do you enjoy nature and walking in the outdoors? If so, here’s an opportunity for you. Belvoir’s Natural Resources Division is looking for volunteers to monitor blue bird boxes throughout post, including numerous villages and Accotink Bay Wildlife Refuge. No experience is needed, as anyone who is interested will get training. Volunteers typically spend an hour or two a month, working as a member of a team, counting and recording eggs and chicks in next boxes especially designed for blue birds. Young students, accompanied by an adult, are welcome. The boxes are occupied only from April to August. Interested volunteers are asked to contact Kevin Walter at DPW, 703-805-3969, to learn more or sign up.
Clean-up volunteers needed
The 29th Annual Potomac River Watershed Cleanup is April 2, from 9 a.m. to noon, rain or shine, along the shores of Belvoir. Volunteers will clean up the shorelines of Accotink Bay and Dogue Creek. The Alice Ferguson Foundation provides gloves and bags. Volunteers are asked to dress in old, weather-appropriate, work clothes, as watershed cleanups can be wet and muddy. Many volunteers bring a change of clothes or shoes for the trip home. Adults; children; families; organizations; scouts and community groups are all encouraged to par-
ticipate. Inclement weather before April 2 will impact the Bay’s water level and the amount of shoreline exposed at low tide. Volunteers will meet at the Accotink Bay Wildlife Environmental Education Center. To volunteer, call Kevin Walter, 703-805-3969.
