COMMENTARY

Responsible Driving is a ‘Two-Way Street’

by Stephen Gray Wallace, M.S. Ed. Chief Executive Officer, SADD Inc.

As high school students pour out of the classroom and into their cars, it’s a good time to consider the dangers of teen driving that are known to escalate during the summer months.

A new study by SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) and a leading insurance company gives parents reason to pause before handing over the keys to their newly released young driver. The report reveals an alarmingly high number of teens who have had “near misses” while behind the wheel. It also delivers some insight into what may be chief contributors to those events – even if they differ from what most young people think.

According to the study, 68 percent of teens admit to having narrowly avoided a crash. Yet, perhaps not surprisingly, young folks are more likely to blame external factors than to point the finger at themselves, even when they are at fault.

Indeed, one in three drivers (34 percent) who say they have had a “near miss” blame another driver, while 21 percent say weather was the primary cause. Yet when asked what they were doing in the car at the time of the incident, teens admitted to an array of distracting or dangerous behaviors: 30 percent were speeding, 21 percent were texting, 20 percent were talking to their passengers and 17 percent were changing songs on their MP3 player.

Ironically, only 9 percent of teens believed excessive speed was the primary

contributor to a close call, while 13 percent said texting while driving was to blame. Another 6 percent passed along responsibility to friends who distracted them.

It’s no surprise that our “close call kids” are likely to report they regularly engage in dangerous or distracted driving behaviors: • 36 percent say they regularly talk on the cell phone while driving; and • 33 percent say they regularly text behind the wheel.

Those numbers are significantly lower for the 32 percent of teen drivers who report never having had a close call.

Despite these disturbing statistics, 92

percent of teens consider themselves to be safe, cautious drivers. The majority are either unaware or unconcerned about the dangers lurking on the roadway once school’s out for summer – a time when young drivers are behind the wheel 44 percent more hours each week than during the rest of the year. Not surprisingly, summer is also the most popular time of year for kids to be driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, June, July and August are the deadliest months for teen motor vehicle fatalities when almost 1,000 teenagers die (994 in 2009).

Close calls cause the majority of teens to change their driving behaviors, but only for a while. Nearly half of them say their renewed commitment to more responsible driving lasted only a month or less. And what improvements in driving habits teens do report are more likely to involve paying better attention to other drivers than to texting or speeding less.

Apparently, it takes a tough lesson – actually getting in a crash – for teen drivers to significantly change their behaviors.

Nearly 70 percent of young adults who have been in a collision say the experience changed their driving habits, with the majority of them (58 percent) saying those improvements are “forever.”

There’s got to be a better way.

Keeping young drivers safe behind the wheel has never been timelier, and some new help is now available. A Parent/Teen Driving Contract developed by Liberty Mutual and SADD can be found at www. libertymutual.com. It is both a conversation starter about safety and a customized agreement that promotes dialogue and saves lives. In short, it helps families create and sustain important driving rules for both sides – because responsibility is, indeed, a two-way street.

Dunwoody Discusses Fiscal Realities

by Amy Perry Production/News Assistant Editor

The most senior quartermaster Soldier in the Army drew a standing-room-only crowd during her June 16 presentation at the Quartermaster Symposium in the Petroleum and Water Department auditorium.

Gen. Ann E. Dunwoody, commanding general of the Army Materiel Command, spoke about the past, present and future of the Army and how the new fiscal budget would affect the corps.

No stranger to Fort Lee, Dunwoody served as the Combined Armed Support Command commanding general in 2004 and returns often for various events on post.

Dunwoody took time to recognize those serving and emphasize the current budget

issues..

“I want to start by thanking you – all of you – for what you do and who you represent,” she said. “Most of us are kind of consumed with the current fiscal realities and day-to-day challenges. I think we should remember that it’s been an incredibly tough, demanding and challenging decade.”

In the last decade, the military has fought in two wars and performed multiple other missions, said Dunwoody. There have been many challenges and even those who question the military’s place in Iraq.

“Despite all the challenges, we’ve made a difference in improving and making a better, peaceful, prosperous future for all of the people of Iraq,” she said.

Aside from the difficulty in Iraq, the military has faced even more issues in Afghanistan, said Dunwoody. Afghanistan

is a landlocked country with few roads and many mountains, which makes a logistician’s job even harder. However, the commanders in charge of the Afghanistan operations have all expressed confidence in logisticians.

“Each and every one of the generals said, ‘Ann, I don’t worry about logistics,’” said Dunwoody. “There is no higher compliment. It is because of you – the logistician – who’s doing the heavy lifting over there. When combat commanders say they don’t worry about logistics and they are in a landlocked country, you have to feel proud for what you are doing, and I’m very proud of you.”

There are still challenges ahead, said Dunwoody. The ones facing the services SEE QM, PAGE 15

Post Preps for Emergency Response Exercise

by Alexia Fields DPTMS

The installation’s emergency response and force protection procedures will be put to the test June 29-30 during a “limited-notice” exercise that will require participation by multiple garrison agencies and the community partners of Fort Lee. All post employees, contractors and guests should expect delays at all gates, traffic congestion on and off post (in the vicinity of Fort Lee), and possible detours during the Antiterrorism/Emergency Management Exercise.

“We appreciate the patience and full cooperation of everyone affected by this important event,” said Scott Brown, chief of the Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security. “This is how we exercise and assess the installation’s ability to respond and recover from an emergency incident. It also helps us identify capability gaps through internal and external assessments.”

Some of the exercise activity that should be antici-

pated by post personnel, according to Brown, includes an increase in emergency vehicle traffic (police cars, ambulances, fire trucks), police directing and/or re-routing traffic and emergency management exercise scenario play (simulated patients and other role players).

“We’re asking everyone on the installation to react to these situations no differently than an actual post emergency,” Brown said. “Give the emergency responders the right of way, follow the instructions of police and emergency officials and always be ready to execute your organization’s shelter-in-place or evacuation plan. That’s the whole idea behind the exercise; treat it like the real thing so we know how it works and what improvements are needed.”

Every community member, military and civilian, is an important part of the installation’s anti-terrorism and force protection plans, Brown noted. Individuals contribute every time they report suspicious behavior or apply one of the protective measures that are outlined in the annual antiterrorism and Threat Awareness Reporting Program

briefings.

Some of the items that should be reported included the following: • Unknown vehicles parked in unusual places or abandoned for prolonged periods • Strange behavior (making notes, taking photos, peaking in doors or windows) in housing areas or administrative buildings • Suspicious packages (especially those left unattended in high-traffic areas) • Curious individuals who seem overly interested in troop activities, post access procedures or Fort Lee security measures “Trust your instincts; if it doesn’t seem right, it probably isn’t,” Brown said. “If you see something suspicious or out of place on the installation, report it to your chain of command or the installation operations center. If you’re off post, report it to the police. It may sound like a cliché, but you really are the first line of defense in the nation’s force protection plan.”

Don’t Be ‘That Guy’ – Drink Responsibly

by Amy Perry Production/News Assistant Editor

The Army Substance Abuse Program is offering a campaign geared toward younger Soldiers.

“That Guy” is a multi-media program that uses online and offline communication with the goal of reducing excessive drinking among young troops, according to the ASAP website. Soldiers can view the website at www. thatguy.com.

The campaign encourages young enlisted personnel to reject binge drinking because it detracts from the things they care about: family, friends, dating, sex, money and reputation.

The campaign uses humor to deliver a serious message and provides virtual tools so you can be part of the effort to eradicate That Guy. The campaign is a reminder to everyone: Don’t Be That Guy! “‘That Guy’ focuses on at-risk drinking among young Soldiers – especially those who may be involved in binge drinking,” said Jacqueline Glenn, Fort Lee’s ASAP prevention coordinator. “It

teaches them about binge drinking and the negative consequences associated with it. They can do different scenarios – similar to a video game – where ‘That Guy’ has to walk through and see the different events that take place when a person is under the influence of alcohol and how they function if they have been drinking excessively.”

Glenn said the program provides Soldiers with a hands-on activity they can relate to as it uses the technology they use every day.

“It’s unique because it targets the younger population, and it’s hands-on,” said Glenn. “They can move the person through the program and they learn at the same time. It’s not the traditional way to give out information – although they are educating the Soldier – because they’ve put it in a simulated game setting.”

Fort Lee’s ASAP has provided posters and brochures that should be distributed throughout the companies and battalions on the installation as part of the prevention program.

The prevention program pro-

vides substance abuse and alcohol educational courses, workshops and seminars to the permanent party and civilians on the installation, said Glenn. They also teach Soldiers and civilians what ASAP offers.

Soldiers can become involved in the ASAP program through command referrals, medical referrals or self-referrals. Command referrals are directed by commanders or supervisors due to suspected problems, positive urinalysis or in response to a Soldier’s actions. Medical referrals are from Kenner Army Health Clinic providers when they want the Soldier to been seen for evaluation and possible treatment. Self-referrals are from the Soldiers who seek help because they believe they may have a problem with alcohol or substance abuse.

In the past, the prevention piece of ASAP and the clinical piece were located separately, but recently they merged.

“There is more of a connection

CONTRIBUTED GRAPHIC

within our office,” said Glenn.

“We are able to go out together when we are doing promotions, workshops or educational training because the clinical staff can give more detailed information.

Overall, I think it’s an ideal relationship with the clinical and education aspect.”

The center also provides outpatient treatment options to include education groups, therapy groups and individual sessions. They also assist Soldiers who require inpatient services and aftercare services after inpatient treatment.

Fort Festival Features Live Music, Fireworks Featuring live music, fireworks and a KidZone packed with activities for the younger crowd, the 50th Anniversary Fourth at the Fort celebration promises all the excitement of its predecessors and more.

Scheduled for July 4, 2-10 p.m., at Williams Stadium, the event is open to the public and admission is free.

A music production called the Masters of Motown will headline the entertainment lineup for the festival. The show consists of stylishly costumed, fully choreographed tributes to the male and female groups that dominated the record charts during the early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s. A 10-member cast will re-create the music of The Supremes, Gladys Knight and The Pips, Smokey Robinson, The Vandellas, The Temptations and others. Performances are scheduled for 3:45 and 5:30 p.m.

Full On, a rock group from the 392nd Army Band, will perform at 7:15 p.m. With a set list that includes classic and contemporary selections (translation: lots of wailing guitar riffs, pounding drum solos and familiar, sing-along vocals), Full On is among the most requested ensembles from the Fort Lee Band.

Rounding out the music portion of the celebration is the scheduled performance by the full 392nd Army Band, starting at 8:30 p.m. The 40-piece group will play a variety of patriotic selections including the popular â&#x20AC;&#x153;1812 Overtureâ&#x20AC;? with cannon fire by a Fort Lee Salute Battery. If that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

put you in the mood for the spectacular fireworks show that will follow the performance, nothing will.

Another popular Fourth at the Fort activity is the KidZone, a youth activity area that offers inflatable rides, a rock wall, a paintball challenge and a human gyro ride.

All rides and games are free from 2-4 p.m. The area will close for one hour to reset for the evening activities. From 5-9 p.m., tickets (on sale for $1 each) will be required for all KidZone activities.

Those planning to participate in the Fort Lee festivities are reminded that pyrotechnics, glass bottles and pets are not permitted during the event. Guests may bring coolers that are no larger than 6 x 6 x 12 inches. Food and beverages will be sold on site.

Fort Lee visitors without a Department of Defense decal on their vehicle should be prepared to show their driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license, proof of insurance and a current vehicle registration as requested by security personnel at the gates. Anyone 18 years of age or older must show a state or government-issued picture ID to gain access to the installation.

C-130 ‘Lands’ at Lee for USAF Training

by Stephen J. Baker Media Relations Officer

A C-130A Hercules joined Fort Lee’s tiny Air Force fleet Saturday when it arrived by truck from Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. The 116-foot-long aircraft no longer has wings and was transported without its tail during a 12day journey that spanned more than 1,500 miles.

The aircraft belongs to the Air Force’s 345th Training Squadron, which will use it to help train Airmen in its Traffic Management and Air Transportation courses here.

The 345th TRS moved its personnel and operations to Fort Lee from Lackland last year, where the C-130A was used for that same purpose.

Air Force Master Sgt. Jon Hanson, the 345th TRS project manager for the C-130A move, said bringing the aircraft to Fort Lee was no easy task.

“If we were at an Air Force base, we’d land the aircraft we were using, pull the wings off and bring it into one of our hangars,” he said. That wasn’t an option this time, given the lack of a runway at Fort Lee and the fact that the training aircraft wasn’t airworthy before the move.

Two other flightless Air Force planes on post include a C-130E and the fuselage of a C-17 Globemaster used to train Soldiers enrolled in courses at the Army’s Transportation School, just across the street from the High Bay where the Air Force is keeping its newly arrived C-130A. Air Force Lt. Col Debbie Kent, commander of the 345th TRS, said an area of the High Bay is already mocked up with pallets and risers to simulate the inside of a C-17.

In fiscal 2011, 983 students will attend the Air Transportation course and 229 will attend the Traffic Management course. Hanson said training them in a realistic environment positively impacts operations on Air Force runways.

“Once the students get to their next duty assignment, they’ll know what they’re getting into,” he PHOTO BY STEPHEN J. BAKER A C-130A Hercules arrives at Fort Lee Saturday to be used in Air Force said. “They’re familiar now with what it’s like training here. to bring loaders up to the But she added that it just isn’t the same as training inside aircraft, so there’s less training time to get these students spun-up on getting the vehicles to the aircraft, or undera real aircraft.

“First off, when you look at the C-17 mock-up as a standing what it takes to lock or tie-down vehicles, because brand new Airman, it doesn’t look like an airplane,” Kent we train them on vehicle tie-downs in the aircraft, too.”

Kent said the 105 personnel in her squadron have a said. “By putting a C-130 in there, you get the visual of exactly what it looks like when you’re inside and are bet- mission to “train the best transportation service profester able to relate to exactly what you have to do. So it of- sionals in the Air Force.” With Fort Lee leading the way for military logistics, it’s a “phenomenal” place to work fers much more realistic training.”

Hanson said the aircraft offers students a “real world” toward that end.

“The leadership here has been really gracious and acfeel. “They’re able to get in, build up those aircraft pallets, process that cargo, put it on the aircraft loaders, put those commodating for all of our needs,” she said. “Everyone pallets onto that aircraft, lock them into that aircraft, pull is very interested in learning about the other service and those loaders back from the aircraft and get that feel for trying to capitalize on any opportunities to train together in the future.” what the real world presents.”

Honoring Military Members, Families Eight Fort Lee military members and their families pose for a group photo in front of the Colonial Downs Race Track in New Kent on Sunday. They were the guests of honor during a military appreciation day that included a round-trip limousine ride to the track and back to post. This is the third year that Colonial Downs has hosted the excursion. The military members pictured are, from left, Petty Officer 1st Class Adam John Speight, Marine Staff Sgt.

Soldiers Tackle Cleanup at Petersburg Park

by Capt. Arlene Williams 266th Quartermaster Battalion

At first glance, Lee Memorial Park in Petersburg looks like any typical curb side play area: a playground for the kids with tennis and basketball courts. However, if you continue along its winding road, you will find a vast lake, a recently built pavilion and acres of woodland that have walking and running trails. This portion of the park, though somewhat forgotten, is where the 56 Soldiers and six cadre members of 266th Quartermaster Battalion, 23rd QM Brigade began their work recently.

Their assignment was to assist the members of Wilcox Watershed Conservancy in restoring the lost features of the park. First Lt. Terrance King of Whiskey Company and WWC Director Bettie Guthrie planned the project.

Soldiers from Whiskey and Tango companies began their work creating trenches and removing debris from the 1-mile walking trail. Other Soldiers assisted in cutting away small trees and removing hanging tree limbs. The trail was eroding due to the lack of drainage. The Soldiers’ trenches will help to mitigate the erosion from the trails.

Soldiers from Tango Co. teamed up with two of the members from WWC to rid a flower bed of excess foliage.

Many of the Soldiers who volunteered their service had prior experience in farming and landscaping. Pvt. Andrew Slocum of Bravo Co. knew exactly how to use the tiller and demonstrated it to his comrades. The Soldiers prepared the bed to be planted with lilies and azaleas in the future.

Behind the pavilion is a hillside embedded with a bricked trail line with azaleas. Overgrown weeds and vines had made it difficult to use or even access this path. Soldiers from Papa and Bravo companies removed all of the plants

Throughout the day volunteers could hear Spc. India Calhoun of Papa Co., call out a reminder to the Soldiers to drink water. She made sure the Soldiers rotated out to get rest and refreshments at the pavilion.

Pvt. Rashad Johnson and five other Soldiers from Papa and Bravo companies were tasked to dig out a fish pond. Initially,

it was assumed that the pond was no more than 2 feet deep.

After the work was done, the pond was 4 feet deep.

Although the project is still underway, the Soldiers of 266th QM Bn. helped jump start the restoration of the park.

Members of the WWC were pleased and thankful of the impact from the Soldiers’ hard work. Many Soldiers thanked the organization for allowing them to give back to the community. Joining this project gave them an opportunity to learn from each other and share their expertise.

TRICARE ID Cards to Change FALLS CHURCH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; TRICARE beneficiaries should make sure they have their Social Security number committed to memory. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be found on new Department of Defense ID cards.

As of June 1, SSNs are no longer printed on new ID cards issued to members of the Uniformed Services, retirees and family members. The new cards will look basically the same, but will have a unique DoD Identification number in place of the SSN. For those eligible for benefits, such as health care, a DoD Benefits number (DBN) will be on the back.

The elimination of visible SSNs is a DoD response to the increasing need to protect the privacy and identity of ID card holders, but it may raise questions when it comes to obtaining health care or pharmacy benefits. Health care providers have always used social security numbers to check TRICARE eligibility and file claims.

For TRICARE beneficiaries, the DBN is most important. Many systems can ac-

cept it already, but beneficiaries using the Military Health System and TRICARE should be prepared to state their SSN (or their sponsorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) when accessing health care or pharmacy benefits.

The change to new IDs for all members and families is expected to take about four years.

Existing ID cards are good until they expire; including retiree cards marked â&#x20AC;&#x153;INDEF.â&#x20AC;?

Beneficiaries who want a new ID without their SSN are advised to make an appointment before making the trip to an ID card facility.

TRICARE beneficiaries and providers can get more information, see ID card samples and view frequently asked questions at www.tricare.mil/ssn.

General information about the removal of SSN from ID cards can be found at www.dmdc.osd.mil/smartcard. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; TRICARE

Small Decisions Crucial for Drivers

by Kathryn C. Weigel Production Assistant

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Small, split-second decisions can have enormous consequences,â&#x20AC;? Kelly G. Narowski, a safe driving speaker, told members of the Petroleum and Water Department Tuesday during one of her nine presentations at Fort Lee this week. Installation and CASCOM Safety Offices sponsored the post-wide training, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drive to Stay Alive.â&#x20AC;?

An Army spouse and government contractor, Narowski also spoke at Fort Lee last spring. She serves on the Fayetteville, N.C., Council for Persons with Disabilities and is a member of the National Spinal Cord Injury Association. Narowski is also a Family Readiness Group adviser at Fort Bragg.

A paraplegic for the last 12 years because of small, unfortunate decisions she made, Narowski is intent on driving home to Soldiers the fragility of their brains and spinal cords: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Think first â&#x20AC;&#x201C; use your mind to protect them!â&#x20AC;?

There was one teenager in the audience Tuesday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 16-year-old Zachary Reese, an intern in the Safety Office who is on the verge of getting his driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license. His first thought as Narowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program unfolded was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m never going to drive again,â&#x20AC;? he said later. As she continued to speak, Reese realized that all the â&#x20AC;&#x153;stupid mistakes (he watched people make in the videos) are easily avoidable.â&#x20AC;?

In the U.S., there are 1.5 million traumatic brain injuries a year. TBIs are the No. 1 cause of death in people under age 33, said Narowski, noting that 30 Americans a day suffer a spinal cord injury. Car crashes claimed 36,000 lives in America last year, she said, noting the number is down from 2009 because more states have primary seat-

Narowski doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;accidentsâ&#x20AC;? when she talks about wrecks. Car crashes happen because of choices, she said, noting that â&#x20AC;&#x153;99.999 percent of fatalities are due to human error. Life is about choices â&#x20AC;&#x201C; personal choices, personal responsibilities.â&#x20AC;?

seat belts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a Soldier,â&#x20AC;? she told the PWD Soldiers and civilians, â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more likely to die on a U.S. highway than in Iraq.â&#x20AC;?

One of the video clips Narowski showed features a young Soldier reminiscing about a dead battle buddy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stupid to lose a buddy over (a seat belt),â&#x20AC;? he said in the video.

Clicking that seatbelt into place is important to Narowski because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what she failed to do when she took the wheel from a friend who decided she was too drunk to drive. However, the absence of seat belts isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only driving hazard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most commonly committed violent crime in America is drunk driving,â&#x20AC;? said Narowski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A third of driving deaths result from drunk driving.â&#x20AC;? She reminded the Soldiers that there is â&#x20AC;&#x153;almost always someone you can call in your chain of commandâ&#x20AC;? when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had too much to drink to drive safely.

Citing the death of Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and three of his friends whose vehicle was hit by a drunk driver, Narowski said that driver is now serving a 54-year prison sentence.

More burdensome than a prison sentence for her, she said, would be the guilt of killing another person while drunk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can you imagine having to live with that?â&#x20AC;? she asked her audience.

Inattention is another serious driver choice, according to Narowski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take driving seriously,â&#x20AC;? she urged her audience. Talking on a hand-held cell phone makes a driver four times more likely to be in a car crash. Talking on a hands-free device cuts that risk in half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Texting and driving â&#x20AC;&#x201C; crazy! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an enormous distraction,â&#x20AC;? and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SEE DRIVE, PAGE 19

“It’s not the reduction that concerns me – it’s how we respond to it,” she said.

“Our track record is not good. After each conflict, we’ve cut the budget, lost vital capabilities. Despite our history with budget reductions, we always anticipate a soft landing; it always ends up more like falling off a cliff.”

Fundamentally, the Army has to manage this reduction differently than ever before, said Dunwoody.

This will mean tough, strategic choices to deal with fewer resources so there aren’t the same negative consequences as before.

“This time we have to make some strategic choices – prioritize the capabilities we need for the future, eliminate redundancies and identify where we are willing to accept risk – while ensuring we don’t lose the decisive edge we’ve honed so well over the last decade,” she said.

The main challenge for logisticians today is to identify what the Army needs the most and what is no longer needed so it can be prepared for the next conflict, said Dunwoody.

“While we are entering an era of very complex, challenging times, we are also entering an era that will present us with some huge opportunities – opportunities to capitalize on the decisive edge we’ve built in the last decade while retaining the capabilities we need for the future,” said Dunwoody.

QM Corps Honors Hall of Fame Inductees, Recognizes New Honorary Leadership

by Amy Perry Production/News Assistant Editor

The Quartermaster Corps honored its 2011 Hall of Fame inductees, said goodbye to one honorary leadership team and welcomed another, and hosted its regimental review during a ceremony Friday at Williams Stadium.

Brig. Gen. Gwen Bingham, Quartermaster General, helped induct six new members to the Quartermaster Corps Hall of Fame: retired Lt. Gen. Charles S. Mahan, retired Maj. Gen. Joseph L. Thompson, retired Lt. Col. A. Newton Horn (deceased), retired Chief Warrant Officer 5 Frank Meeks, retired Chief Warrant Officer 5 Michael Toter and retired 1st Sgt. Charles Shipp.

“Today, we celebrate the magnanimous contributions of men who have given their adult lives in fulfillment of a lifetime of service, duty, love of fellow men and love of this country,” said Bingham during the ceremony. “I count it as an honor and privilege to congratulate all of the 2011

Hall of Fame inductees and their families as we recognize and celebrate your significant and numerous contributions to our corps.

On behalf of the men and women of the Quartermaster Corps, I am proud to acknowledge and celebrate the magnanimous work of (these inductees).

“We know that you will continually support our corps and the many men and women who serve in our ranks today,” she continued. “The body of work and influence among these stalwart hall of fame quartermasters in simply exemplarily and now, tightly woven into the fabric of our rich heritage and lineage.”

Retired Maj. Gen. Robert K. Guest and retired Command Sgt. Maj. Don E. Wells, outgoing honorary colonel and sergeant major of the regiment, passed the regimental corps guidon to retired Maj. Gen. Richard E. Beale and retired Command Sgt. Maj. David Roman, incoming honorary colonel and sergeant major of the regiment, respectively.

Gwen Bingham, Quartermaster General, congratulates retired Chief Warrant Officer 5 Frank Meeks as a Hall of Fame Inductee during the 2011 Quartermaster Corps Hall of Fame Induction ceremony June 17 at Williams Stadium. ceremony, thanked Guest and Wells for their contributions to the corps.

“As we bear witness to the transition of our honorary colonels of the regiment and honorary sergeants major of the regiment, we congratulate both Maj. Gen. retired Ken Guest and Command Sgt. Maj. retired Don Wells for a job well done,” she said. “You have both served our Quartermaster Corps with great pride and selflessness, and we thank you for years of continued excellence and camaraderie.”

After recognizing the military members on the field, Guest said Wells and he were honored by the ceremony. Guest told the troops that his service was through the Vietnam era, and he was around during the transition to volunteerbased service in the military.

“In the ‘80s, the services were rebuilt – and did a painful transition to a volunteer Army,” said Guest. “The cornerstone is

Americans like you who will step forward and serve. That makes our armed forces unique. Less than 1 percent of our population serves, so you’re the top 1 percent. You should feel good about that.”

Bingham said the QM Corps was excited about the incoming honorary leadership.

“For our newly appointed honorary colonel and sergeant major of the regiment, Maj. Gen. retired Richard Beale and Command Sgt. Maj. retired David Roman, we are excited to welcome and congratulate you both on your distinguished appointments,” she said. “Without doubt, we in the Quartermaster Corps are delighted to have you both assisting us and linking our past to the present and perpetuating the rich history, customs and traditions of our regiment.”

Beale said it was a special day for Roman and him.

“Command Sgt. Maj. Roman

and I are two old Soldiers who still understand the call to arms,” he said. “We’re willing to serve.

We’re able to serve and respond when the bugle sounds. We’re grateful for the opportunity to serve once again, and we’re eager to begin our new duties.

“Quite honestly and frankly, we’re most grateful that General Bingham and her staff remembered first, who we are, and second, by our appointments they’ve expressed quite a bit of confidence in our capabilities,” continued Beale. “Our selection to these honorary positions warms the hearts of two Soldiers who dedicated their professional lives to the service of our country and its Soldiers.”

The Quartermaster Review and 2011 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony also included an inspection of troops and a pass in review, all of which were part of the 2011 Quartermaster Corps Symposium.

A Little Run, Just for Fun

About 3,000 troops from the Quartermaster School at Fort Lee joined Brig. Gen. Gwen Bingham, their commandant and the 51st QM general, for a June 16 three-mile run. It was one of the many activities that occurred here during the annual Quartermaster Symposium. As shown in the images above and left, the run was a showcase of varying services and military courses – from the Navy Culinary Specialist “A” School to the Air Force 345th Training Squadron and the Marine Corps Detachment that includes petroleum handlers, riggers and food service personnel. In the photo directly above, 1st Sgt. Garrick Griffin and Staff Sgt. Michael Jones lead the way for the Logistics Noncommissioned Officer Academy formation. Pictured on the left is Pvt. 2 Charese Bova, a petroleum supply student, forming a “V” with her hands to show enthusiasm for her assigned unit – Victor Company, 262nd QM Battalion, led by Capt. Lauren Koban.

‘Listen Up, Kids!’

Actor Tommy Ford, best known for his role as Tommy Strawn in the 1990s sitcom “Martin,” talks about personal responsibility with kids at Fort Lee’s Youth Center June 16. Ford, also a motivational speaker and youth activist, said one key to success is the “ability to recognize and respect leadership and authority.”

DRIVE

— FROM PAGE 14

now illegal in 34 states, Narowski said.

Although she got five speeding tickets as a college student, it took a major crash for Narowski to understand that “traffic laws are there for a reason. Not getting it ended up costing me my legs a couple of years later.” She noted a great deal of science is used in setting traffic laws.

For the few motorcyclists in the audience, Narowski ran through a few reminders – wear an approved helmet as well as durable clothes and gloves, take the class and don’t speed – before moving on to drowsy driving. Lack of adequate sleep is another driving hazard, she said.

Last year Narowski visited a young corporal at Fort Sam Houston in Texas whose Army career is over because she’d been a patient with a minor complaint in an ambulance whose driver fell asleep at the wheel.

Narowski saves her personal story for the end of her presentation. After earning a degree in physiology, she moved to Santa Barbara, Calif., to work as a personal trainer and waitress. Heading to a concert one night, her friend declared herself too drunk to drive and asked Kelly to take the wheel. Narowski had had two martinis to

her friend’s eight or more so she thought she was OK. “I was buzzed, but I ran to the driver’s seat. That was the last time I walked,” she said, because she did not fasten her seatbelt.

She was driving an unfamiliar vehicle on a curvy mountain road at night. She was “buzzed” and in a deep conversation with her friend. The car hit a guard rail.

Narowski hit the steering wheel. Her body then flew around the inside of the vehicle and landed in the back seat. She was left with an exploded thoracic vertebra. Her drunk friend? She did click her seatbelt and walked away without a scratch.

“I understand very well what you can do to yourself in a car, and I don’t want you to go through it,” she told her audience. “I did this to myself.” Along with the use of her legs, said Narowski, she lost bowel and bladder control and has osteoporosis in the bones in her lower body.

Addressing the Soldiers, Narowski said, “You are willing to put your life on the line (in military service) for 310 million people you don’t even know. There are two kinds of people: those who get (driving safety) and those who don’t. Be one who gets it.”

NATICK, Mass. – Personnel from the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command’s Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center are conducting an Army-wide Anthropometric Survey II and will be at Fort Lee through July 18 to update the Army’s anthropometric database.

The ANSUR II project, endorsed and directed by Headquarters, Department of the Army, will ultimately measure 13,000 Soldiers. The collection of Soldier body measurements, representing the different body sizes and shapes present in today’s Army, will result in a database used to improve the design and fit of clothing and individual equipment systems as well as workstations and crew stations used by Soldiers in the near future.

These measurements will be used for a wide range of engineering-related applications.

The ANSUR II team has just completed its efforts at Fort McCoy and began at Fort Lee on Monday. “The support to this important Army effort from Fort Hood, Fort Bliss, Camp Atterbury, Fort Drum and Fort McCoy has been truly outstanding” said Cynthia Blackwell, ANSUR II project leader.

“Just as importantly, the commitment of the leaders and Soldiers of Fort Lee is crucial to this essential Army survey. We look forward to continuing our work with the Fort Lee community during the coming weeks,” Blackwell said.

PASTOR BISHOP SAMUEL WRIGHT SR.

“We Are A Church Where Everybody Is Somebody”

The team includes a research anthropologist, military personnel and civilian contractors. Selected Army units that represent occupational cross-sections of the Army will be screened and individuals will be selected in accordance with a stratified random sampling approach by age, sex and race. They will then be measured and scanned for the database.

Specifically, the measuring team will gather biographical data, 94 traditional body measurements and three-dimensional surface scans of the whole body, head/face and foot on each participant. The standardized body measurements will include some familiar clothing measurements such as chest and waist circumferences, body breadths and depths, as well as some very specialized dimensions like functional leg lengths.

These leg lengths are used to design cockpits and crew stations for combat vehicles, aircraft and other human system platforms.

A three-dimensional whole body scanner will be used to capture body contours and curvatures to help in designing closefitting items such as body armor. A threedimensional head and face scanner will be used to capture the shapes and curvatures needed for designing helmets, goggles, face and respiratory protection. Finally, a foot scanner will be used to capture foot size and shape for footwear design.

FIRE & EMERGENCY SERVICES

Take Precautions With Fireworks Summer officially kicked off Tuesday, which means that the Fourth of July will be here before you know it. And with that celebration, come fireworks.

Fort Lee and several other localities in the area have great fireworks shows, but some people feel the need to create their own pyrotechnics display. Depending on where you live and if you decide to set off fireworks, you need to make sure they are legal to use.

Fort Lee does not allow fireworks or pyrotechnics of any kind to be used on the installation unless authorized by the Garrison Commander in accordance with the Fire Prevention & Protection Regulation, CASCOM & FL SUPPL to AR 420. If you live off post, remember to check local ordinances concerning fireworks as some communities are stricter than others.

If you can legally set off fireworks, follow these basic safety tips to prevent personal injuries or accidental fires: • Keep a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher handy.

• Make sure the area where the fireworks will be set off is free of brush, high grass or any other combustibles.

• Don’t wear clothes that are loose-fitting.

• Don’t light fireworks near any dry grass.

• Only use fireworks that are legal in your area.

• Wear safety goggles while lighting fireworks.

• Don’t light fireworks indoors or under any cover.

• Allow all residues from the fireworks to cool completely before discarding.

• Don’t throw fireworks at people.

• Light only one fireworks device at a time.

• Once you light the firework, move several feet away from it and remain there.

• Don’t carry fireworks in your pocket.

• Keep “spectators” at a safe distance, especially small children.

• When a fireworks device fails to go off, don’t stand above it to see what’s wrong. Douse it with water and dispose of it. Don’t try to relight it.

• Consider your pets when planning to shoot off fireworks. If you have a pet that may chase a fast moving target, or a pet that will be frightened, put it in the house to keep it safe until the display is over.

• Don’t assume you know how to use the fireworks. It is very important that you read the directions and warning labels.

If there are no directions or warning labels, don’t use them.

• Don’t shoot fireworks off in a glass or metal container.

A very safe alternative for kids from the traditional spar-

klers are the fiber optic party wands. They can be bought at many retailers or online for around $2.

It might surprise you to learn that most firework-related injuries involve the hands and fingers. Other injuries involve eyes and about 50 percent of the injuries are burns.

As if these injuries aren’t devastating enough, to really put it into perspective, fireworks can be life threatening if not handled properly, and they are a fire hazard. Fireworks that are set off near brush and homes can cause fires.

We all want to enjoy the summer and to celebrate our nation’s birthday and we should all do it safely. Don’t let injuries or damage from the improper use of fireworks to put a damper on your summer. This year join us as the Fort Lee Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation presents the 50th annual “Fourth at the Fort” Independence Day Celebration July 4, 2-10 p.m., at Williams Stadium on Lee Avenue. Let the professionals do all the work. If you decide to light your own, please remember the provided safety tips.

Fort Lee Fire & Emergency Services actively promotes fire safety to all who work, live and visit Fort Lee. For any questions or assistance, call the Fire Prevention Office at (804) 734-6597.

‘Cooking for Real’ Goes Army Green

by Keith Desbois CASCOM and SCoE Public Affairs

Sunny Anderson, host of Food Network’s “Cooking for Real” show, visited here and Fort Bragg, N.C. to show America that behind every great Soldier is a good meal.

These visits also allowed her to look back on her time in the military, celebrate those in uniform and show why food is often the glue that holds military families together.

Through this special, Anderson, a former U.S. Air Force broadcast journalist, wanted to highlight that food preparation in the military is not “slinging hash.” With her production crew in tow, she undertook a whirlwind tour to see how military food service professionals are trained.

She began her personal and patriotic journey at the Joint Culinary Center of Excellence here May 16-17. Her goal was to showcase the great work of the multi-service culinary instructors and students.

At JCCoE on the first day, Anderson observed advanced culinary students being tested on a three-course practical exam. The class the students were participating in is an intense hands-on program designed to improve the overall skills of an experienced cook. The 25 service members, who represented all branches of the military, had 2.5 hours to complete their meal before being judged by the instructors.

She gave words of encouragement to the students as they chopped, sliced and diced their way through the test.

As each student finished, the creation was displayed for grading. The instructors sampled the dishes and also provided scores for presentation. Anderson eagerly grabbed a fork and tasted the assignments, commenting on the quality of the cuisine and lending some professional critique.

All the students passed the exam, not letting the added presence of a Food Network chef distract them from their mission.

“They knew they had to focus on their practical exam, so the film crew was the least of their concerns. They are professionals,” said Master Chief Petty Officer Justin L. Reed, noncommissioned officer in charge, Advanced Culinary Skills Training Course. “It was a great experience and I’m glad that Sunny got to see that the military creates fine cuisine and that we have actual chefs.”

After the taste test, she was given a tour of the entire school. It is now the home of four of the five branches of services’ basic food training programs and conducts all branches’ advanced training programs.

The final day started early as Anderson arrived at the Field Branch training site where Soldiers were learning the bread and butter of their jobs – cooking for service members in a deployed environment. Advanced individual training students were readying the mobile and combat kitchen trailers to cook breakfast as part of their familiarization training.

Anderson talked with Soldiers and posed for pictures throughout the morning as her cameramen moved between the trailers filming the Soldiers in action and conducting interviews. Once the breakfast of bacon, eggs,

After eating a healthy portion of the “chow,” she noted that it was completely different than when she was in the military years ago. Anderson said the quality of the field rations and the preparation of them had really improved.

The final stop for the crew in the development of this special provided a history lesson on food service in the military. Narrating the tour, Luther Hanson, curator, U.S. Army Quartermaster Museum, provided an in-depth presentation on rations throughout the history of the Army.

He took them through displays containing hardtack (a simple flour cracker) and whiskey rations, and explained the modern Meal, Ready-to-Eat while old Army training films on how to eat the “new Type C ration” played on a monitor in the background. The film crew spent a couple

of hours taking in the wealth of information displayed in the various exhibits.

Finishing up the day’s filming, members of the crew commented on their visit and how their experience differed from their perception of military food.

“Everyone on the crew was thoroughly impressed with the level of dedication and learning at Fort Lee,” said Matthew G. Kells, the producer for Concentric Entertainment Productions. “It is amazing to think that the basics of food service, the rigors of cooking in the field and the intricacies of fine dining can be taught with a consistent level of excellence and be part of the same program.”

The special will air July 2 at 10 a.m. and again July 4 at 6 p.m. on the Food Network channel. Check the Food Network’s website, http://www.foodnetwork.com/ cooking-for-real/index.html, for updates on the show.
