DLA Energy supports New Horizons spacecraft’s mission to Pluto By DLA Energy Public Affairs The Defense Logistics Agency Energy’s support now extends to the edge of the solar system as NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft came close to Pluto. Propellants used along the spacecraft’s journey, the fuel and other products used in the Atlas V rocket that launched New Horizons were all procured, stored and transported by DLA Energy. “We not only helped to launch the satellite via the Atlas V rocket and the products we had on the rocket itself, but we also provided the New Horizons spacecraft with mono-propellant hydrazine for its thrusters,” said Doug Smith, DLA Energy Aerospace Energy Supplier division chief. “The New Horizons spacecraft has been traveling for more than nine years now, positioning itself on product we provided them.” Hydrazine is used in the thrusters on the New Horizons for trajectory adjustments or for attitude control. DLA Energy is the integrated material manager for space and spacerelated products and services for the Defense Department, federal agencies, government contractors and academia. As such, it is responsible for procuring, storing and transporting those products. Successful delivery of hydrazine requires negotiating a long-term supply contract and all associated contract administration throughout the life of the contract, Smith explained. Delivery orders are put in place to ensure product deliveries, and inventory managers oversee the inventory of five different grades and two different blends of the product. Transporters

Celebrate 50th anniversary of ACS at community party By Amanda Stewart Staff writer Army Community Service provides help to Soldiers and family members who have recently moved, are new parents, need financial advice, need counseling or support services, need emergency loans and who have many other needs.

It offers the chance to become involved in the community, meet new people, and learn new skills and get help with employment.” The Army-wide community service program was developed by Lt. Col.

DLA inducts 5 former employees into Hall of Fame By Beth Reece DLA Public Affairs Five former Defense Logistics Agency employees who helped build the agency’s reputation as a worldclass logistics provider were inducted into the agency’s Hall of Fame July 14 at the McNamara Headquarters Complex on Fort Belvoir. This year’s inductees are heroes who individually and collectively enhanced the nation’s military readiness, said Air Force Lt. Gen. Andy Busch, DLA director. Inductees are: • Stephen Byus, a former DLA Land and Maritime employee and Navy reservist who was killed while deployed to Afghanistan in 2014. • Richard Connelly, who held numerous senior positions throughout DLA, including director of Defense Energy Supply Center, now DLA Energy. • Retired Army Lt. Gen. Robert Dail, who served as DLA director from August 2006 to November 2008. • Mae DeVincentis, who became DLA’s first civilian vice director in 2010 after serving as director of DLA Logistics Operations and DLA Information Operations. • Ivan Hall, former director of land supplier operations at Defense Supply Center Columbus, now DLA Land and Maritime. Byus began working for DLA Land and Maritime in July 2008 through the Defense Supply Center Columbus Corporate Intern Program. He helped revitalize the resolution specialist employee development team and improved the division’s audit readiness. “He was very successful in learning his craft and, as a six-year employee, he loved to not only make himself better, but make everybody around him better as well,” Busch said. In July 2014, Byus volunteered to deploy to Afghanistan to help the Afghan military improve its maintenance and supply systems. On Sept. 16, he was heading downtown to brief the Afghan minister of defense for logistics when the two-vehicle convoy he was in was attacked. He
became the first DLA employees killed in the decade-long war. “Those who had the opportunity to work with Steve knew him as an open-minded team player, a mentor, a caring person and a superb supervisor who loved his country. He was a terrific father and loving husband, a compassionate son and engaging family member,” said Byus’ brother, Matt, who accepted the honor along with Byus’ father, Randy. While new inductees must be separated from the agency for three years before they may be considered for the DLA Hall of Fame, Busch and Ted Case, DLA vice director, waived that rule to make an exception for Byus and other DLA employees who are killed in action while supporting the agency’s mission. Connelly began his DLA career as an intern and rose in rank to having titles such as DLA comptroller; administrator of the Defense National Stockpile Center, now DLA Strategic Materials; director of DLA Support Services, now DLA Installation Support; and Defense Energy Support Center, now DLA Energy. Connelly is known for moving the agency from an appropriated funding model to the more business-oriented Defense Working Capital Fund. He also implemented unit-cost resourcing, an accurate way of reporting the

true costs of products and services. “There are countless people I have to thank for being here today,” he said. “To be associated with other legends in the DLA Hall of Fame has been remarkable.” Dail led the agency during one of DLA’s biggest transformations as it took on logistics functions from the services as a result of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Act. He also forged lasting relationships with industry and championed innovative methods of measuring supply-chain effectiveness that resulted in precise delivery for warfighters engaged in operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. “Bob Dail is the reason why I am here today. He’s been a mentor of mine since he hired me to work with him in 2007,” Busch said. Dail described DLA’s global workforce as the secret weapon of enduring greatness. “Just as Andy Busch is finding out right now, when I would travel out and meet people at our locations and sense their spirit and observe their professionalism, they inspired me to come back and try to give them the leadership that they so rightly deserved as free Americans supporting their country,” he said. DeVincentis began her 37-year DLA career as a GS-2 at what was
then called the Defense Personnel Support Center Clothing Factory. She has since had a hand in major innovations. Today, DLA conducts billions of dollars of business using e-commerce platforms DeVincentis helped create, Busch said. “Honestly, I would have to name everybody in this agency if I was to thank everyone who had a hand in my success. The team here continues to do a lot of great things, and that’s what it’s really all about, not me, but the team,” DeVincentis said, adding that she preferred her induction to be a symbol of the collective accomplishments of employees throughout the DLA enterprise. “As witnessed by Steve Byus, there’s no price people in this agency will refuse to pay to take care of the warfighter, and that is a very significant and unique aspect of DLA that you don’t find in any civilian organization,” she added. Hall’s government service began in 1979 with the Defense Contract Management Agency and ended at DLA Land and Maritime. His leadership as deputy director of land supplier operations increased the readiness and survivability of warfighters in Iraq and Afghanistan, and he is best known for implementing DLA’s first long-term contracts with major equipment manufacturers. “When I talk about the transition or evolution of DLA going from a parts supplier to the long-term contract environment, certainly we stand on the foundation of what you did,” Busch said. Hall credited his former employees, peers and leaders for helping him become the best he could be. “I’m honored and humbled by my selection to the DLA Hall of Fame. Rarely does a single individual achieve success without help from others, and I have many people to thank,” he said. The DLA Hall of Fame was created in 1998 to recognize the contributions of military and civilian employees who’ve served in a myriad of positions throughout the agency. Inductees receive a medal and a plaque denoting their induction.

The Belvoir Enlisted Spouses’ Club has a free Summer Bash from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Lewis Village Park. The event includes food, giveaways and games and more fun family activities. The club hosts a similar event each summer, said Rachel Marston, BESC vice president. “It’s geared towards welcoming families who are new to Fort Belvoir and introducing them to the community that’s here,” Marston said. The club encourages new families to attend the event to meet their neighbors on and near Fort Belvoir. “People should come to see the kind of community that’s here at Fort Belvoir, to be a part of it and to experience it first-hand,” Marston said. In addition to the summer bash, the enlisted spouses’ club has many other events planned this year, including the annual Oktoberfest Bazaar Oct. 3 and 4, which helps raise money for the club’s military dependent scholarship program. This year, the club is also planning several events near Fort Belvoir, at locations in Fairfax County, Marston said. On July 18, the club held an outreach event at Nalls Produce, in the Alexandria area, and future events are planned there in August and September. “We are trying to engage, not only within the gates of Belvoir, but also out in the community,” Marston said.

Four Convenient Locations to Serve You!
Improve sleep habits through cognitive behavioral changes
Photo by Adrienne Anderson
Pamela Sjolinder, regional education coordinator at the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center, talks to wounded warriors Tuesday at the Soldier and Family Assistance Center, about sleep hygiene and improving sleep habits through cognitive behavioral therapy. Anyone can develop sleep problems. Having a poor sleeping environment; health problems; eating too much before bed; consuming alcohol; sharing a bed with someone who has sleep problems; grieving or loss and stress are just some problems that can increase the risk of sleep problems, according to the website After Deployment. Insomnia is the most common sleep problem, Sjolinder said. Insomnia includes having a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep; waking up many times each night; feeling anxious, depressed or irritable; according to After Deployment.
But, there are ways to deal with insomnia instead of turning to prescription drugs or alcohol, which can actually make sleep problems worse. The Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center suggests several ways to help improve your sleep: • Don’t exercise close to bedtime. • Do relaxing, non-stimulating activities before bed. Instead of playing video games, watching TV or reading in bed, try doing yoga stretches, taking a warm shower or soaking in a tub. Don’t use electronic devices or read a book in bed. • Go to bed only when you are sleepy.
Belvoir Eagle
Sleep — we all need it, but how often do you get a good night’s sleep? Pamela Sjolinder, regional education coordinator at the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center, addressed sleep hygiene problems Tuesday at the Soldier and Family Assistance Center. “When Service members are deployed, just their work environment alone in theater, creates a whole different sleep-wake cycle,” Sjolinder said. “If they are in the middle of something, they can’t go to bed obviously. When they are deployed, their body is forced to adapt to whatever the environment is, whatever their duty schedules are.” Other things can alter sleep schedules for Service members, including needing to be alert at all times or needing to stay awake for a long time, she said. These are occurrences that can happen, regardless of whether a Service member has post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury or any other stresses. “So, Service members come back with their sleep-wake cycle all messed up,” Sjolinder said, adding that Service members who have issues such as TBI or PTSD tend to have worse sleep problems. “Service members have more to deal with when it comes to sleep,” she said. “Sleep is a huge issue for recovery and for our returning Service members.”
If you have a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep within 1520 minutes, get up and go out of the room. Keep lights dim and do activities that promote relaxation. Avoid electronic devices. • Get as much exposure to natural light as possible, by being outside or near a window. • Keep a regular sleep schedule by going to bed and getting up at the same time, regardless of how much sleep you get. There are also apps created for those addressing sleep problems including Life Armor, an app by After Deployment and developed by the Department of Defense’s National Center of Telehealth and Technology. The app’s purpose is to provide the military community with information, assessments and self-management tools for mental health issues. Another app is the CBT-iCoach app, created in collaboration between the Department of Veterans Affairs’ National Center for PTSD, Stanford University Medical Center and the Defense’s National Center of Telehealth and Technology. The app takes an evidence-based approach to sleep problems by helping people create and maintain a sleep diary, understanding sleep basics, changing bad sleep habits and practicing relaxation and cognitive exercises for better sleep.

Wheeled Vehicle Recovery Course promotes safety By Sgt. 1st Class Phillip Eugene 80th Training Command Public Affairs
Pfc. Justin Barker wants safety procedures from the Army’s Wheeled Vehicle Recovery Course implemented at his civilian workplace. The Reserve Soldier is a wheeled vehicle mechanic assigned to 319th Quartermaster Battalion, Twinsburg, Ohio, and he’s a tow truck operator as a civilian. He attended the WVRC at Regional Training Site Maintenance Fort Devens, Mass. Safety aspects of the WVRC Barker wants implemented include, wearing gloves when handling chains and winches; ensuring people are out of the way during recovery operations; and stepping over cables instead of on them. He also wants his coworkers to adopt the military’s hand signals, which, he says, are more concise than the ones he’s accustomed to as a tow truck operator.
“I’m definitely gonna tell my boss about it and try to have him give me a raise,” Barker said. He learned to operate a tow truck through on-the-job training, so the WVRC is the only formal training Barker has received. The course teaches active Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve enlisted personnel to operate and maintain recovery vehicles and related equipment. Students also learn to employ standard procedures for rigging, recovering, and towing wheeled vehicles. One of the challenges students face during the course is the safe recovery of a vehicle from a mire pit. The instructors purposely put the vehicle into the pit to try and make the training as realistic as possible. Assigning a specific task to each individual before going out on a recovery mission is another practice Barker learned at the course, which he plans on introducing to his civilian workplace.

Application packets should include the Soldier’s photo and resume and two letters of recommendation from a colonel or higher. Soldiers must also present their last five NCOERs and prove they've passed the Army Physical Fitness test. "Many of your traditional military customs and interpersonal skills were definitely used. Overall, I recommend this program to any individual," Price said. Selected Soldiers, who serve in the 92G Food Service MOS, will be enrolled in the Advanced Culinary Skills Training Course and Enlisted Aide Training
Course on Fort Lee, Va., which run for five and three weeks, respectively. Soldiers who are non-food service personnel will first complete the four-week Basic Food Service Course.

Of the approximately 80 positions available for aides, the Army maintains a high retention rate. For Price, his service to Gen. David M. Rodriguez, commander of the U.S. Army Africa Command, forged a lifelong bond. "I still reach out to (Rodriguez) to this day. You're a part of a close-knit family and that relationship is great personally and professionally," Price said.

Belvoir Eagle
Enlisted aides are considered an elite group of staff sergeants and sergeants first class, whose organizational, technical and interpersonal skills are valued among the general officers with whom they serve. Enlisted aides prepare and conduct official social functions and activities such as dinners. This includes buying and preparing food and beverage services in the officer's quarters at up to a 5-star entertaining level. Aides may also be responsible for maintaining their quarters, uniforms and military personal equipment. "You want to alleviate those minor things that may distract from daily duties. You make the job a lot easier and smoother," said Sgt. 1st Class Christian D. Price, a former enlisted aide, who serves as the Army enlisted aide and special programs manager, U.S. Army Human Resources Command. Aides serve in all Army commands worldwide. In recent years, the program has opened up to all military operational specialties, or MOSs. "The Army is broadening the scope and looking to invest significant resources to develop a competitive program to select highly qualified Soldiers," Price said. The Enlisted Aide Program looks for Soldiers who consider the Army a career, are self-motivated and assume responsibility with limited guidance, he said. All enlisted aides must be physically, mentally and ethically fit for duty, able to pass a background check and attain secret clearance. The program's upcoming selection panel is Sept.

Exchange doubling gas savings over weekend AAFES Public Affairs
Belvoir Eagle
In honor of its 120th anniversary, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is pumping up gas savings by doubling the discount for Military Star® cardholders. From Friday through Sunday, drivers fueling up with the card at Belvoir gas stations will get 10 cents off per gallon instead of the everyday 5-cents-per-gallon discount. “The extra savings are a part of the Exchange’s celebration of its 120 years of service to Soldiers and their families,” said Bill Shoffner, Fort Belvoir Exchange general manager. “The extra discount at the pump is just one of the many special promotions we will have to coincide with the anniversary.” Besides the typical discount of 5 cents per gallon on all gas purchases, cardholders can get a 10 percent discount on all Exchange food court purchases year-round. For information about the features and benefits of the Military Star® card, shoppers can visit www.myecp.com.
Shoppers can win in back-to-school sweepstakes AAFES Public Affairs Military shoppers can get a head start on their back-to-school shopping list with $5,000 in prizes from the Army & Air Force Exchange Service, Hershey and Mars. Through Aug. 20, authorized shoppers worldwide can enter for a chance to win one of 10 $500 Exchange gift cards. “Back-to-school shopping can be stressful for both parents and students,” said Army Col. Karen Fleming, the Exchange’s deputy director of logistics. “These prizes should help start the school year off right.” Shoppers can log in to shopmyexchange.com/sweepstakes to enter. No purchase is necessary and entrants do not need to be present to win. The sweepstakes prize drawings are on or about Sept. 4.

From Page A1 the needs of military families. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Harold K. Johnson officially announced the creation of ACS on July 25, 1965. Today, ACS serves the Army community with their daily life and emergency needs through programs such as the Exceptional Family Member Program, which offers support to families with children with special needs; the Financial Readiness program; the Employment Readiness program, which helps family members, retirees and others in their search for employment; the Relocation Assistance program, which helps Service members and families preparing to move; the Victim Advocate Program, which helps victims of domestic violence; and the Army Emergency Relief Pro-
gram, which provides loans to Service members in need. Retired Command Sgt. Maj. Benjamin Scott said he used ACS services several times in his career, including twice when he needed Army Emergency Relief loans. He also relied on the Employment Readiness Program and became a Resiliency Training Assistant, he said, adding that he considers ACS “one of the best organizations the Army has ever created.” “As you can tell, this organization has touched my life from the very beginning to the end of my career and I am only one of hundreds of thousands of Soldiers who can say that ACS has had a positive effect on my life,” Scott said. For more information about ACS programs and services, call 703-8054590.

Barbecue has been something of a hobby for Jeff Grover for many years. Now, with the help of Warrior Transition, he hopes to make it his career. Warrior Transition is a northern Virginia-based non-profit that aims to help people transition from the military to civilian careers by giving them the training and support to start their own business. “Our goal is to train warriors and teach them what they need to know to start their own businesses,” said John Trujillo, who founded the 501(c)3 program in 2008. The Warrior Transition Getting Entrepreneurial Program provides veterans, retirees and others transitioning from the military with a free, one-day workshop taught by entrepreneurship expert Larry Farrell. The group has conducted two workshops on Fort Belvoir. “He goes through everything, top to bottom … By the end of the day, we’ve taken them through the whole process and they know everything a successful business owner needs to know,” Trujillo said. Grover attended the first workshop at the USO Warrior and Family Center at Fort Belvoir and is preparing to start his own mobile BBQ business, thanks to help from Warrior Transition, Premier Panning Group Wealth Management and Custom Pits, which built a competition BBQ smoker for him. Grover and Warrior Transition are celebrating the start of Grover’s business with a BBQ at the Fort Belvoir USO Center today, for people who have been invited. Grover, who is in the process of leaving the Air Force after five years
in the Reserves and eight years of active duty, said his interest in barbecue started years ago when he served with a man from Texas. “He was big into barbecue and I had never really cooked much before,” said Grover. “He taught me how to smoke barbecue.” Grover said, soon after that, he entered a barbecue competition and won. Then, he was hooked. Later, after he joined the reserves, Grover built a smoker and made barbecue for his chief’s retirement party. Then, cooking barbecue for his unit became a regular thing. With his new mobile smoker, Grover, who lives in Maryland, hopes to build a successful business by selling his food near the Naval Academy in Annapolis and at events for the military community in that area. Grover said he has been busy filing paperwork and taking care of other administrative tasks needed to do business in Maryland, but he is excited to get his business going. “I want to thank Warrior Transition, because none of this would be possible without them. Really none of this would be possible without John,” Grover said. Trujillo said about 60 people have gone through the Warrior Training entrepreneurship workshops so far and the group hopes to offer the workshop to about 100 people at the AUSA conference in October. “We help them to set up their own businesses because, when they do that, they’re in control of everything,” Trujillo said. “They can set up something they will love.” For information about Warrior Transition, visit www.warriortransition.com.

Markham School Age Center students, Austin Shoemaker, 12, left, and Caden Mulvey, 11, test their endurance at the sit-up station during the 2015 Child, Youth and School Services Fitness Challenge, Friday.
Markham SAC students compete in fitness challenge By Rick Musselman Sports editor Nearly 130 students from Fort Belvoir’s Markham School Age Center demonstrated their commitment to physical fitness and healthy living by participating in the 2015 Fitness Challenge, Friday at the SAC. The event, sponsored by Child, Youth and School Services and the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, provided 128 young athletes
a variety of challenges that tested their fitness levels and provided a chance to compete against each other in a friendly atmosphere. According to Julie Libert, CYSS sports and fitness assistant director, a part of this annual event focuses on determining participants’ overall fitness levels. “We are testing the children to see how fit they are and determine their strength,” she said.

Belvoir CYSS offers sports for all ages By Rick Musselman Sports editor Every year, Fort Belvoir’s Child, Youth and School Services offers a wide range of sports and fitness programs geared to provide athletic opportunities to community youth ages 3-18, regardless of skill level and experience. With the fall season fast approaching, registration is under way for house and select basketball, tackle and flag football, cheerleading, house and select league soccer and Little League baseball. The select tackle football, basketball and soccer programs, which compete each year in the Fairfax Country Youth League, are intended for more experienced play-
ers aiming to represent Belvoir in games against several youth sports organizations across the Washington, D.C. area. The house leagues are intended for younger, less experienced athletes who are looking for opportunities to learn the basics of the game and develop their skills before advancing to the more competitive programs.
Football and Cheer Camp
This year’s football and cheer camp, which runs Monday – July 31, enables young athletes to develop the skills and physical conditioning they’ll need to perform safely and effectively in the upcoming youth football season. They, like See CYSS, Page B4

In covering sports on a daily basis over four years now, I think I’ve made contact with every agency, command and mission-partner on the entire post. And if there’s one thing they all share — at least from my observations of the athletic teams they field for the annual Commander’s Cup race — it’s unit pride. Every athlete here wants to earn those trophies for their respective company, battalion, command or agency, and seldom do they give much thought to personal recognition. It’s said that the military is all about being a team player, committing to putting the best use of one’s talents and skills to the successful completion of the mission. Well, that’s certainly been proven on the fields and courts during the sports seasons. Every year I try to pick the one unit that seems to embody that level of unit pride — along with sportsmanship, integrity and drive — to the highest degree, and I have to say, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency is one organization that consistently stands out as a true champion. DTRA is undeniably the most successful athletic organization on post, and it’s won the coveted Commander’s Cup three times just in the four years that I’ve been here. (I’ll add that the 2012 loss to the U.S. Army Legal Services Agency is still a delicate topic I’d recommend avoiding if you find yourself chatting one day with a DTRA athlete.) While pure athletic talent and preparation are always present (and that’s true of every unit here), I’ve struggle to identify the “secret ingredient” that propels DTRA to such finishes every year. But last week, during the softball championship, I think I figured out at least one part of it. Something you don’t often see at games is a general officer among the spectators, but for that one U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. John P. Horner, DTRA’s deputy director, came out and provided support for the team, just as two of DTRA’s most senior NCOs have regularly done over the years. That says a lot about a unit, and may have helped USALSA take victory three years ago, with then-Brig. Gen. Thomas E. Ayers attending most of the events. What got me to thinking about all this was a comment that DTRA head softball coach, Mickey Freeland, made in the bottom of the seventh inning when it became clear that his team would win the title again. “Listen, I don’t want to see any big celebrations until we’ve gone over there and congratulated our opponents.” Enough said.

Youth athletes prep for fall soccer season By Rick Musselman Sports editor

More than 50 Fort Belvoir youth athletes began training for the 2015 Child, Youth and School Services fall soccer season with a week-long physical conditioning and skillsdevelopment camp, last week at Fremont Field. The annual program, open to boys and girls ages 4-12, gives beginnerlevel athletes a chance to learn the basics of dribbling, passing, trapping and shooting the ball, and provides experienced players a chance to refine those skills before the official
season kicks off in September. Teams are formed in four age divisions — 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, and 10-12 — and games are played Saturdays at Fremont Field through November. For more information about the league, call Jerry Arrington, Child, Youth and School Services sports and fitness director, at 703-805-9139; or Rashawd Pope, CYSS sports assistant director, at 703-805-1257.

The event included four fitness “stations,” including sit-ups, pushups, a shuttle run and a v-sit reach event, which measures forward flexibility from a sitting position. According to Jerry Arrington, CYSS youth sports and fitness director, the annual Fitness Challenge’s success depends entirely on the work many volunteers from Fort Belvoir Community Hospital and the Thrift Shop, as well as parents and Markham SAC teachers, put into these and other CYSS events throughout the year. They work for a couple of weeks, getting all the Child Development Centers involved for a real competition, he said. CYSS youth sports program specialists — including Aricka Vaughan and Alex Taylor — supervised each station and cheered the athletes on throughout the morning. Several Soldiers and Sailors assigned to Fort Belvoir also helped at the stations as the children enthusiastically competed. CYSS provided snacks after the athletes completed the final station and each child received a special recognition certificate for their hard work. The CYSS Fitness Challenge is one of many examples of Fort Belvoir’s and the U. S. Army’s effort to promote physical fitness, proper nutrition and active lifestyles from the earliest ages. In addition to the annual challenge, Fort Belvoir hosts the pre-K Olympics, the Armed Forces Kid’s Run, the Track-or-Treat run in October and other events aimed to help children across the installation build athletic skills and a strong sense of sportsmanship while maintaining health and fitness. For more information regarding CYSS recreational and athletic programs, call Libert at 703805-913 or the School Age Center at 703-805-9100.

workout routines. These routines are adjusted based on a child’s starting level of fitness and experience in the sport. “The camp provides age-appropriate skill lessons through station-based training across the 5 to 15 year-old age range,” she said. “They feature safe, non-contact football instruction and athletic development and teach players how to maintain good eating habits and hydration maintenance.”
Smart Start
For the youngest members of the Belvoir community, CYSS offers the Start Smart program, a variety of specialized instructional and training clinics to help military-dependent children ages 3-5 learn the basics of sports and to develop the skills necessary to compete on organized teams once they reach qualifying age, according to Jerry
Mikhail Pierre, 4, practices throwing the ball into play during Fort Belvoir's Child, Youth and School Services Start Smart soccer clinic, Oct. 8 at Specker Field House. Arrington, CYSS sports and fitness director. “The Start Smart program started after the National Alliance for Youth Sports — a nonprofit 501(c) (3) organization that aims to make the sports experience safe, fun and healthy for all children — conducted a survey in 1989 and determined that children in the 3-5 year-old age group didn’t have the motor skills they would need to play sports later,” Arrington said. “So, we developed the Start Smart program to teach and develop those skills to get the children better prepared to start out in the (organized) leagues when they’re old enough.” Arrington and Libert, as well as Rashawd Pope, CYSS sports and fitness assistant director, and several CYSS sports and fitness specialists, conduct the Start Smart classes at various times during the year. “In the spring we do the Start Smart baseball, soccer and golf, and we added tennis to the program in 2013,” Arrington said. “We do this three times a year,” Libert added. “In January, we’ll start basketball and sports development.” Registration for the annual Start Smart soccer and football instructional programs kicks off Monday. Regardless of age, experience or ability, youth across Fort Belvoir can always find safe, healthy and competitive activities to make leisure time enjoyable and continually enriching.

Fall baseball season gearing up Because two of the Belvoir fields have lighting, Belvoir Little League expects to play more weekday games at home. Players 12 and older will play and practice on other league fields as Belvoir’s senior field is undergoing construction, due to Route 1 widening. Teams are formed according to the player’s ages. Kids ages 6-8 will play on machine- or coach-pitch teams. Those age 8, who will be 9 in the spring, through age 11 will be divided into one of two divisions, minor or major, depending on skills at preseason practices. Players 12-14 will be in the junior division. Once teams are formed, individual team managers will set their practice schedule based on their free time and field availability. Games will start after school begins, generally twice per week — once on a weekday and again on Saturday. The season generally runs to Halloween but may go through mid-November if the weather cooperates. Email coachbill2@verizon.net for answers on all baseball questions and check the Sports & Recreation section of the Belvoir Eagle each Thursday for updates on fall baseball and other sports at Fort Belvoir.

Registration for the coming fall Little League baseball season is in its final weeks. The sign-up period closes on or about Aug. 14 so teams can be formed and practices conducted, and games can start the week school begins. Registration takes place at the Markham School Age Center, 9500 Barlow Road at Mount Vernon Road. Walk-ins are usually accepted but, due to a staff shortage, appointments are recommended. Call 703-805-1908 for an appointment or with questions about the registration process and requirements. The number of registrations determines the number of teams that are formed and the game schedule. Boys and girls ages 7-14 are eligible to play. Sixyear-old players turning 7 by next spring may also register. Practice sessions for all players take place about Aug. 17 to evaluate existing talent for placement on appropriate teams. The fall program is considerably smaller than the spring and all ages will play games with other neighboring leagues in the district. The leagues will meet soon to plan the season, mostly game rules and schedules.

Golf Club encourages community to join
B6
By Rick Musselman Sports editor Since the Fort Belvoir Golf Club opened its doors to the general public, interest in taking up the sport is growing rapidly across the installation and the Washington, D.C. metro area. According to Tim Coolican, golf club director, now that everyone can play at the popular facility on North Post, without necessarily having any affiliation with the military, the Golf Club is offering major discounts and new programs to coincide with the membership initiative that he hopes will draw more patrons, from beginner to experienced, to the game. “Our big goal this year is to grow the game of golf, not only on our post but in the local community,” Coolican said. “Anyone can just come in and join. Of course, if you are military, you still get a substantial discount. Something else we really wanted to do, since we’re doing some construction (for the National Museum of the United States Army), is making a reduction in fees — we’ve lowering our membership fee up to 25 percent.” Supplementing the great new rates are several new programs that Coolican hopes will attract new players to the Club, regardless of their golfing skills. “(In addition to the expanded eligibility and lower fees), we’re also offering the Get Golf Ready program, which is a PGA initiative that includes five lessons and range balls that basically gets you ready for the season. And, it’s open to golfers and non-golfers. We’re also doing something special this year called Tee It Forward, where we’re creating new tees that are way far forward. The reason many people don’t play golf is because the game is hard when they first start. So, we’re trying to make it easier. Of course, the more experienced and accomplished golfers will have their regular tees. The big thing is, there’s been a decline in golfing because golf is intimidating to go out there if you’ve never played or hit a range ball. But, with Tee It Forward it gets you way out there, close to the green.” The new membership drive is under way, so everyone who has considered learning the game and playing on Belvoir’s scenic Gunston and Woodlawn courses can sign up at any time. Coolican said that the new membership initiative is already yielding the results he and his staff were hoping for. “(When) the membership drive started, we signed up a lot of new members,” he said. “The membership drive is continual now and the membership discount is available immediately; we’re really pushing hard to get people to join.” Coolican would also like to remind everyone on post that the Golf Club has recognized the issue of accessibility to the installation itself, as many non-DoD affiliated patrons who do not have Common Access Cards often encounter delays getting access to the installation. “We’ve discussed the accessibility issue with Frank Hentschel, Fort Belvoir Directorate of Emergency Services director, and we’re finalizing plans to issue our golf members a six-month pass (to make it easier to get to the Golf Club).” Prospective golfers should get a visitors pass the first time they come in through one of Fort Belvoir’s access gates, added Lidia Slominski, Belvoir DFMWR marketing specialist. The Fort Belvoir Golf Club is at 8450 Beulah St., North Post, and offers two scenic and challenging courses; a fully stocked pro shop; several major annual tournaments; adult and youth instructional programs; adaptive golf for wounded Service members sponsored by the Fort Belvoir Warrior Transition Battalion; and the new Niblick’s Grill that provides a comfortable dining atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. “The layout and natural terrain of these courses are amazing,” Coolican said. “The clubhouse and driving range areas are excellent avenues to grow
