Belvoir student wins nationwide MWR contest

By Jessica Marie Ryan Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command

Young lives. Big stories. These four words capture the way of life for military children. If asked "what does it mean to be a military child?" each child — no matter how young they are — will have an interesting story to share.

Elisa Solomon, a senior at Mount Vernon High School in Alexandria, Va., answered with more than just storytelling in mind. She understood the "emotional rollercoaster" that children like her experience and wanted to let them know they are not alone.

Solomon used the power of words to express her feelings about military life. She penned her thoughts in a poem entitled "I Know."

"I wanted to let other military children know that they are not alone, and I know what they're going through," she said.

In her poem, she spoke about common challenges military children go through, like frequent moves, deployments and goodbyes.

"Military families go through a lot at times, and are heroes as much as the Soldiers they stand behind," she wrote in one line.

Belvoir Hospital clinic has 20/20 vision for our forces’ future

By Alexandra Snyder Fort Belvoir Community Hospital Public Affairs

In an effort to improve troop efficiency on and off the battlefield, Fort Belvoir Community Hospital offers refractive eye surgery for all qualified, active-duty Service members.

With great success in reducing dependence on glasses and contact lenses and a short wait time, the Warfighter Refractive Eye Surgery Program and Research Center aims to enhance a service member’s readiness and battlefield performance. By improving their vision, Soldiers are able to perform tasks they currently must use contacts or glasses to perform, said Lt Col. Bruce Rivers, program director.

“Imagine being able to deploy without glasses, or inserts in your gasmask,” said Rivers. “These surgeries allow us to improve upon the already-able warrior by making their vision more reliable, and therefore, making that Service member more combat effective.” Furthermore,

A Fort Belvoir Technology Exposition is today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Belvoir Officers’ Club. More than 40 exhibitors are expected to demonstrate communication, cyber and cloud technology; systems integration; network solutions; defense and homeland security equipment; storage solutions; data management; computer hard- and software; wireless; medical; and more.

The tech expo is free, open to everyone and includes demonstrations and giveaways.

Experts: Suicide rates spike in spring, summer

By Amanda Stewart Staff writer

Upcoming suicide prevention trainings

Spring is here and with the season comes an increase in suicide rates, experts say.

There’s a common misconception that suicides peak around the holidays, said Milagros “Millie” Frank, Belvoir’s suicide prevention program manager.

But, while some people do battle what Frank calls the “holiday blues,” suicide experts say winter is also when many people go into “semi-hibernation” when they work less, see fewer people and are exposed to fewer common stressors.

In spring and summer, those stressors come back and may trigger suicidal thoughts in some people, Frank said, and so suicide rates actually tend to be highest in those seasons.

“In the winter, we kind of go into slow-mode. People are taking leave and vacations and it’s not really ‘business as usual,’” Frank said.

“But, in spring and summer, your workload often increases, you are interacting with people more and there’s more stress.”

Frank recently distributed a suicide prevention resource guide to command and organization leaders on the installation in an effort to highlight the increased risk of suicides this time of year and to help

Suicide and Substance Awareness Training

• When: Two sessions, 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m., May 25 • Where: Wood Theater, 6050 Abbott Road, Bldg. 2120 • What: Training will include sessions on substance abuse awareness, suicide prevention and the Employee Assistance Program.

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST)

• When: May 18 and 19 • What: Two-day training on suicide first-aid intervention, aimed at primary gatekeepers

For more information, contact Milagros Frank, suicide prevention program manager, 703-805-5529, Milagros.frank.civ@mail.mil. prevent them.

“Really we need to be mindful of the trend and kind of do a pulse check and just be prepared,” Frank said.

Among the stressors that can pop up in the spring and summer seasons are chronic work-related stresses, stress about finding child care in the summer, stress about PCS-ing, stress about preparing for retirement and, this year, stress about politics, Frank said.

To combat the stress and lower

risks for suicidal thoughts, Frank suggests doing things like exercising; participating in outdoor activities in the warm spring weather; taking advantage of activities and special events on the installation and in the local area; speaking to supervisors about work-related stress and problems; and finding a counselor to speak to, if needed.

Spring is a traditionally a time for cleaning, and Frank suggests that people can do some mental spring cleaning, too.

“If you feel a burnout coming on, then it’s time to do an inventory, time to clean out that closet, metaphorically,” she said.

Frank said parents should also monitor their children and teens for stress, as they prepare for standardized tests, high school graduation and college.

“Nobody’s really immune from it and we should be monitoring our children who may be going through things that are stressful for them,” Frank said.

Frank also advises that command and organization leaders should be aware that some of their employees may be going through difficult times and be sensitive to that.

“As a community, we just have to work a little harder to be mindful of what people are going through,” Frank said. “You need to be aware of these things for yourself and for others. Sometimes, it’s not us that needs the help. You can save somebody else’s life.”

Online safety is a topic that society should take more seriously, said Dede Wallace, victim assistant specialist with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations.

According to the Pew Research Center, 87 percent of American adults use the Internet based on 2014 statistics. Internet usage is similar across age groups, but starts to decrease as individuals get older. Most people use social media, with a sharp decline in social media usage for the 65 and older population.

Zoe Day, 17, isn’t a typical teenage Internet user and doesn’t spend a lot of time on social media. Zoe doesn’t have a Facebook page, although she uses Twitter and Instagram to follow people.

She refrains from putting personal details on the Internet and never friends or follows anyone she doesn’t know. She said her cautious behavior on the Internet is due to having watched what happens to others.

“I don’t have to make the mistakes myself,” she said.

Although Erica Henry, a parent of a teenager, is from a different generation than Zoe, Henry is also a cautious

Internet user.

Henry has a Facebook page but rarely posts anything, she said. She’s is adamant about keeping her information guarded on the Internet.

“If we go places, we don’t post where we are at because that’s letting someone know we’re not at home,” Henry said.

Both Day and Henry agreed that it was important to watch what you say on the Internet, whether it’s a potential employer looking at your social media accounts or a criminal trying to steal your information – less is better.

The largest groups who over share on the Internet are also the most vulnerable, Wallace said. Teenagers aren’t always paying attention to what they say on the Internet and elderly individuals, who may not be tech-savvy, may provide information freely without realizing the harm in doing so.

Phishing, online dating scams, work-at-home scams and account hacking are just a few ways people attempt to get your information, according to the website OnGuardOnline.

Learn, or teach others, about how to spot Internet scams and the actions to take if you think you are a victim.

Funeral Honors Team shows respect, gratitude More Soldiers needed for team

By Amanda Stewart Staff writer As a hearse pulled up to a quiet Manassas cemetery on a sunny afternoon last week, three Soldiers in freshly pressed dress blues were there to greet it.

The Soldiers, members of Fort Belvoir’s funeral honors team, marched behind the American flag-draped casket as pallbearers carried it to the gravesite. They played Taps on a bugle. They folded and presented the flag to the veteran’s family.

The ritual is one played out in cemeteries across the country and, for members of Belvoir’s team, it is an honor to pay respect to veterans and Service members who have died.

“It’s sort of a final payment of respect to the Service member,” said Sgt. 1st Class Jorge Vera, the funeral team’s coordinator and NCOIC. “For the family, it’s giving that sense of respect and sense of gratitude.”

Belvoir’s team is part of the Casualty Assistance Center and is responsible for providing services in 18 counties in Virginia and three in West Virginia. The team regularly travels to cemeteries in Culpeper,

Manassas, Quantico and throughout the area to provide military honors.

Three Soldiers currently make up the funeral honors team at Belvoir, but more are needed to fulfill the team’s mission and meet the requests they get, said Vera and Fabian Reinoso Marchena, casualty branch chief.

The team relies on Belvoir’s mission partners and tenant organizations to provide Soldiers to serve a six-month tour of duty on the funeral team.

“Our greatest challenge is we need to get units to agree to send Soldiers,” Reinoso Marchena said. “We need all units on Fort Belvoir to provide support.”

Since December, the funeral team has been comprised of Vera; Sgt. Kesha Hall, a surgical technician at Fort Belvoir Community Hospital; and Spc. Shane Bradley, INSCOM military police.

“It’s definitely an honor,” Hall said of serving on the funeral honors team. “You get to hear about and learn about different people who have served and be part of paying them respect.”

Belvoir’s funeral honors team can provide honors at up to two funerals a day, depending on the location, and averages between 11 and 15 funerals a month, Vera

The team gets requests to provide honors at as many as 45 to 50 funerals a month, but cannot fulfill all of the requests and often works with the National Guard,

which provides support, he said.

Vera describes the act of providing simple or full military honors to a deceased veteran or Service member as an “act of

Volunteer honor guard Sgt. 1st Class Jorge Vera presents the flag to the family of World War II veteran George Morrissey during the March 16 funeral in Manassas.

Fort Belvoir is seeking additional honor guard volunteers. solemnity and a last act of respect.”

“It’s reverence. It’s giving a final thank you and respect to them,” Vera said. “We get thank yous all the time from family members and I always tell them, ‘Thank you.’”

Vera said the most emotional part of at the funeral honors ceremony often comes when he is presenting the folded flag to a family member.

“It’s just our final way of saying thank

you. We recognize the weekends your loved one missed, the times he was deployed. We recognize all of those missed birthdays and Christmases and this is our final way to let the family know we are grateful, you have our respect and our gratitude,” Vera said.

Many of the funerals Belvoir’s team attends are for veterans of World War II and the Korean War. On March 16, the team presented simple military honors to George Morrissey, a World War II veteran who died March 12, at age 98. Vera said family members often appear relieved and comforted that the veterans are remembered and recognized so long after their service.

“As we are standing and presenting honors, you can look and see in the family ... that breath of fresh air, of relief, that sigh of relief that ‘They’re here. They’re here for my Jimmy or my Johnny, to pay them that respect,’” Vera said.

Reinoso Marchena said the CAC’s goal is establish a permanent funeral honors team with more members, so that the team can attend more funerals and have enough people to provide full military honors easily.

Vera said serving on the funeral honors team is a rewarding experience.

“It’s rewarding on the inside to know that you are participating in something like that,” he said.

Vera said he has had the opportunity to speak to veterans from World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars and funerals he has attended and they’ve expressed their gratitude to him.

“You can see it in their eyes, the sense of relief, the feeling that ‘They haven’t forgotten us, even as days go by,’” he said.

Last week, I came down with a bad sinus infection that required a doctor’s visit. What’s that have to do with sports and recreation on a military post, you might ask? Absolutely nothing, but I feel my experience with the “treatments” for it warranted some kind of record that would serve as a future reminder for myself and perhaps a warning for others.

In fact, so challenging was one of the prescribed “cures” that the first time I employed it, I thought about the Army’s resilience program and how I really wished I’d taken a few of those courses myself.

Aside from the standard run of antibiotics (which ended up making me belabor what’s worse, the illness or the cure with the perpetual upset stomach and nervousness), I was given these ear drops that looked and smelled more like some kind of witch’s tincture than modern medicine. While they went in easily, I was effectively deaf for 48 hours when they refused to reverse course. Indeed I spent two days hearing the gurgling, churning sounds of a miniature submarine engaged in tactical maneuvers in the X-ray sector of my brain.

To combat this, I was given a kind of super-antihistamine that was supposed to help clear any congestion that might remain after the antibiotics were through. I supposed they functioned somewhat as intended, but they shared the same effect as the antibiotics — nervousness. So, now I spent my days feeling like I was in a hurry all over.

Then there was a steroidal anti-inflammatory, something I’d never taken before. Cautious about new meds, I made the mistake of researching it online. Now, keeping in mind my already shaky state, I read that one possible side effect of steroid use was “feelings of depersonalization, anxiety, panic, delusions and psychotic See TIMEOUT, Page B4

Defense Threat Reduction Agency – Team A spike specialist, Andrew Aldrian, goes up for the jam during his team's intramural volleyball showdown against Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate, March 16 at Wells Field House.

DTRA sweeps NVESD 3-0 in volleyball

By Rick Musselman Sports editor Defense Threat Reduction Agency (Team A) gave spectators a high-velocity showcase of the surgical offensive precision and perfectly choreographed efforts on defense that have led the unit to countless championship berths when it downed second-ranked Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate 3-0 in an intramural volleyball match series, March 16 at Wells Field House.

When athletes took the court, DTRA-A knew it would have to maintain near perfect execution throughout the showdown, considering the talent and extensive post-season experience on the other side of the net. NVESD came to the game with highly seasoned spike experts, Alan Krzywicki and Jody Todd, ready for business at the net, with Mike Lanier bringing his wellestablished bump and dig talents to bear in the backcourt. Adding to the challenge facing DTRA-A was husband-and-wife team, Diane and Gene Klager, who demonstrated their abilities to provide Todd and Krzywicki the scoring opportunities throughout the opening exchanges.

Fully utilizing the high-altitude

spike abilities of veterans, Andrew Aldrian, Jon Goe, Greg McIntyre and T.J. Dierks, DTRA-A poured on the offensive coals from the opening serves and quickly gained the upper hand in the first match.

DTRA once again relied on the legendary team cohesion that’s earned the organization more Commander’s Cup titles than any other unit on post. The no-compromise bump-and-set efforts of Mike Patterson and Brian Polser in the backcourt enabled Aldrian and Goe to continuously drill the ball to the floor deep in NVESD territory. Defensively, Nate Allen and Aaron Poulin, kept the squad’s progress running smoothly forward with multiple digs and saves along the side and backlines.

NVESD applied every tool in its arsenal to build some momentum and balance the scales, but DTRA’s renowned focus, precision and total commitment to teamwork in every aspect of the game proved insurmountable and the perennial contender swept into the winner’s circle with 21-9, 21-10 and 21-12 victories going into the week-2 books.

Intramural volleyball games are played Mondays and Wednesdays, starting at 6:15 p.m. at Wells Field House.

From Page B1 episodes.” That settled that.

But, by far the worst prescription was the Inquisition-like “sinus washer” — a large bottle filled with saline that gets jetted up the nose thrice daily. I used it once, and thereafter formulated the lawsuit I planned to file against not only its manufacturer, but also the doctor and the pharmacist. No one should take such a loathsome violation of their person lying down, and I, for one, demand justice.

I should’ve at least called a policeman.

FBES hosts science fair, STEAM night

By Amanda Stewart Staff writer Fort Belvoir Elementary School students had the chance to display their scientific discoveries, and make some new ones, at the school’s annual science fair, March 16.

The school’s hallways were lined with tri-fold boards displaying science fair projects completed by classes and individual students on topics ranging from infrared lights to fingerprints to air pressure to doggy breath. Projects by sixth grade students, whose entries were judged, were on display in the cafeteria.

The event doubled as the school’s STEAM family night and families filed through the gym and library to participate in hands-on activities on a variety of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics topics.

“It’s a chance for families to come and be involved in what their kids are learning,” said Nancy Rowland, Fort Belvoir Elementary School’s STEAM coordinator. “For the kids, it’s a chance for them to be proud of their work. It’s just a night of good family fun.”

Between 300 and 400 people had registered to attend the event, Rowland said.

cell phone photos while Brayden stomped on an empty 2-liter soda bottle to send a small rocket launching into the air.

“This is our first one and we are enjoying it,” Lois said. “They have lots of interesting things here.”

In the hallway, Katresha Bailey was browsing the selection of student projects with her sons, Marcus Jr., 10, and Kaden, 6.

“It’s interesting to see all of the projects and they’re all so different,” said Bailey. “All of the kids come up with their own creative ideas and it’s really interesting to see.”

Marcus, a fifth-grader, and Kaden, a first-grader, were eager to show off their science projects.

Kaden’s project, titled “3D Shapes,” was a display of shapes made with toothpicks and marshmallows. Marcus completed a project in which he tested whether the type of cookie sheet used increases the likelihood of cookies burning.

He titled his project, “Can you blame the burnt ones on the cookie sheet?”

Well, can you?

“Yes,” Marcus said. “The aluminum cookie sheet is the best because it doesn’t absorb as much heat.”

Marcus and Kaden both said they enjoyed making their science fair projects.

“I loved it,” Marcus said, “because it was about food.”

VISION From Page A1

has to offer its Service members.”

The WRESP-RC offers several options for reducing one’s dependency on prescription glasses and corrective lenses.

“Our goal is to offer corrective surgeries to everyone eligible, minimize risks and review alternatives with patients who should not have surgery,” Rivers said. “Because of the numerous vision correction options we’re able to offer here, we are able to take care of populations who previously wouldn’t have qualified, because of thin corneas or very high prescriptions.”

There are several forms of laser refractive surgery available and the most commonly performed procedures, such as are photorefractive keratectomy, PRK, and laserassisted in situ keratomileusis, or LASIK, use a laser to change the cornea’s shape to correct vision or “refractive error.”

An optimal refractive candidate has a stable eyeglass prescription and no underlying eye conditions, like glaucoma, cataracts or corneal diseases, Rivers said. For patients who may not qualify due to thin corneas, underlying medical conditions, or higher levels of correction, the clinic offers implantable contact lenses. These lenses are more invasive, but offer the same corrective results as LASIK or PRK. Patients are only considered candidates for ICL’s when PRK or LASIK is not a safe option, said Rivers.

Before surgery a comprehensive eye exam, that includes measurements of the corrective error, topographical mapping of the corneas, measurement of eye pressure and a complete dilated exam, is performed on each candidate to determine which procedure best fits their vision goals.

As the surgery is elective, patients should only participate once they are satisfied with having all of their questions and concerns answered, said Maj. Samantha Rodgers, a re-

SOLOMON

From Page A1 written pieces.

As a daughter of two retired Army lieutenants colonel and a former participant in Child, Youth and School Services programs at Fort Belvoir, she had the right voice to convey the struggles and obstacles that military children face.

"I have found that, during the many military moves, it is best for me to write about my experiences," she said.

Through poetry, she found a way to touch many people beyond just other military children.

"Everyone who heard or read 'I Know' was very moved by it, both military and non-military alike," said her mother, Cheryl Solomon. "As they listened (or read) and reflected, many were brought to tears, including some 'old, crusty' Soldiers."

fractive eye surgeon in the clinic.

“Refractive surgery is not for everybody, but, if you are tired of wearing glasses or contacts, then you should come in for a consultation,” said Rodgers. “In most cases, the results are dramatic and patients are very happy with the results.”

The WRESP-RC also serves as a U.S. Army Research Center for refractive surgery. Investigators at the WRESP-RC enroll subjects in several approved research protocols. Studies focus on safety, efficacy and visual performance after laser refractive surgery, with particular regard to aspects of military importance. Part of the research effort is geared toward developing treatment strategies that will improve a Service member’s mission readiness and advancing wound healing. Studies of Refractive Surgery in the U.S. Army have found (Hammond et al.) improved overall individual and unit readiness after refractive surgery. Furthermore, studies of military performance after refractive surgery (Bower et al. Subramanian et al.) support the operational benefits of refractive surgery.

“We have excellent, highly-skilled staff and state-of-the-art equipment, Rivers said. “Most of our surgeons have undergone refractive surgery and are more than happy to give you their personal as well as their professional opinion about the procedure.

Our experience as clinicians in the field means the service we provide is unrivaled. It’s a privilege to take care of our nation’s heroes and ensure that they’re fit to fight, every day.”

Though the WRESP-RC can accommodate up to 40 patients a week, refractive eye surgeries are not offered to retirees or Service members’ family members.

There is no referral needed for patients considering the procedure; however, command approval is required. Those interested in any of the refractive eye surgeries offered can visit www.fbch.capmed.mil/healthcare/refractivesurgery.aspx for more information or to fill out consultation request and command approval forms.

Elisa was thrilled to find out that she won the contest last year. "I was in disbelief, because this contest was open to every U.S. military child around the world," she said.

She will transition from being a military child to becoming a Soldier in the near future. This fall, she plans to attend Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Va., where she will play on the women's lacrosse team and join the Army ROTC program. She hopes to earn a doctorate in physical therapy at VCU and enter the Army as a physical therapist.

Elisa and her family hope her poem will inspire other military children to enter the "Young Lives, BIG Stories" contest this year.

"This contest allows military children to share their stories with everyone," she said. "The more participants there are, the more people will know what it's like for military children around the world."

Belvoir Bowhunters host state tournament

By Sara A. Taylor Community Relations Officer

Competitive archers from across the Commonwealth of Virginia came to Fort Belvoir’s Archery Center, Tompkins Basin Indoor Range, March 12-13 to compete in the Virginia Bowhunter Association State Indoor Sectional Championship. Of the 144 archers who competed, 58 of them were from Belvoir’s archery club, the Belvoir Bowhunters, which hosted the state championship.

Each game during the tournament consisted of four ends, or rounds, with five arrows per end. Archers had four minutes to shoot five arrows. Archers were grouped by equipment, shooting styles, age and gender. All archers, except Peewees and Cubs who shot from 10 yards away, shot targets at a distance of 20 yards. To shoot a perfect game, an archer had to shoot a 300 round, consisting of 60 arrows.

The room was full of archers, children and adults, males and females, waiting to shoot to attempt to score the perfect game. The oldest and the youngest archers of the day found themselves in the first group to shoot.

A couple of archers stood between the oldest archer, 71-year-old Russ Hatchel, and the youngest, 8-year-old Phoenix Dishman. While there is more than a 60 year age gap between these two archers, they both said they love shooting their bows and arrows. Hatchel has been shooting since the 90s and Dishman started shooting recently after seeing his older brother shoot.

“The sport of archery is just as diverse as the equipment that archers use,” said Bakari Dale, president, Belvoir Bowhunters Club. “We have people shooting traditional bows; freestyle compound bows; hunting bows; lever bows and long bows. We operate at Belvoir off of a Straight Arrow Principle: ‘Never judge an arrow by the color of it’s feathers, but how straight the arrow flies.’”

Overall, Dale believes the event “went exceptionally well.” He was especially happy to have U.S. Army Garrison, Fort Belvoir’s Command Sergeant Major Scott

Command Sgt. Maj. Scott Guillory, U.S. Army Garrison Fort Belvoir, removes his arrows from the target after shooting his bow. The Belvoir Bowhunters hosted the Virginia Bow Hunters State Indoor Sectional Championship, March 12-13 at Belvoir’s Archery Center.

Guillory, come and speak during the opening ceremony.

“The CSM set the perfect motivational tone for youth and adult competitive archers,” Dale said. “Seeing the Virginia Archery Community coming out to compete and have fun together scored a perfect 300 in my book.”

This year marked the 75th anniversary of the Virginia Bowhunters Association. This state indoor sectional tournament is the first official tournament of the year,” Dale said. Belvoir and the Belvoir Bowhunters have been hosting VBA tournaments for more than a decade.

According to Dale, the Belvoir Bowhunters conduct club shooting events every month from January until August. The club also serves Belvoir’s Soldiers and family in the sports of archery and bow hunting. Club members regularly help Belvoir’s Outdoor Recreation and Wounded Warriors by providing instructors who teach archery’s basics to those in the community.

This 11 yr old (normally) relaxed boy deserves another loving home where he can thrive without worrying about being chased!

Bilbo is very curious and is observant. He likes his butt and tail scratched and giving nose kisses. He will be cuddly when he is more relaxed; he used to lay on my his person’s chest to get petted. Bilbo also enjoys playing with laser lights, and feather toys.
