Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) hosted nine residentsof the Armed Forces Retirement Home June 5 as part of JBABVietnamWar 50th Anniversary Commemoration Day.

Between the nine in attendance, the veterans collectivelyserved the United States fromWorld War II through Opera-tion Desert Storm. The center, home to 468 veterans, offersvisits such as this one to JBAB as part of a larger programthat keep its residents active with opportunities to visit dif-ferent local destinations five days each week.

Retired Army Chief Warrant Officer 3 Chuck Daniels, aresident at the home for more than a year and a half, saidtheir day at JBAB began with lunch at the Bolling Club.

“It was very good and I appreciate being invited. Theytreated us very well,” Daniels said.

Charles Vishee, a resident of more than three years andan Air Force veteran who served from 1946 to 1969, includ-ing tours of service in Korean and Vietnam wars, said heenjoyed the lunch they had on arrival at the base, “It was along, leisurely and excellent lunch. They did an excellent jobof service and presentation.”

Following lunch, the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard andU.S Navy Ceremonial Guard drill teams performed well re-hearsed, challenging routines to honor JBAB’s guests.

“I was really impressed with it. I’m sure it took a lot ofpractice. They really looked sharp,” said retired Air ForceStaff Sgt. Jack E. Beck, a 20-year veteran of the Air Force andresident of the home.

Vishee, who served as a flight engineer superintendenton four airframes during his career including the BoeingB-29 Superfortress, the Boeing B-50 Superfortress, the Boe-ing KC-97 Stratofreighter, and the Lockheed EC-121 Warn-ing Star said, “I was so impressed. It just brought tears andmade my heart flutter.”

Daniels, who spent 10 years as a combat engineer, an-other eight years in guided surface to surface missiles, andfinished his final seven years in communications to includeservice with the Green Berets, said he regularly takes advan-

tage of the trips and activities that the Armed Forces Retire-ment Home officers to include two visits now to JBAB.

“I was down here for the 50th anniversary of World WarII flyover and it was great. So they take us to all these events.They’re always looking out for us. They try to keep us busy.And some of the fellas take advantage of it, some of themdon’t,” Daniels said.

EvenoncampusDaniels saidhehasplenty tokeephimbusy.“It’s great over there. They’ve got a theater in house.

They’ve got a fishing pond. They’ve got a golf course, artsand crafts. There are a lot of activities if you want to takeadvantage of them.”

Daniels also has good memories of the U.S. Navy Cer-emonial Guard Drill Team’s performance just a fewmonthsago at an antique car show that he attended and at whichhe also displayed his 1988Mercedes sports car that has only40,000 miles on it.

To conclude the ceremony, two U.S. Navy CeremonialGuardsmen folded and presented the United States flag toBeck, who received it on behalf of all of the Armed ForcesRetirement Home’s residents.

“I was very honored to receive this flag,” Beck said. “Onbehalf of my fellow constituents, we gratefully appreciatethe receipt of this flag, and I’ll pass it along to our director sowe can use it at the home and make sure that they mentionthat we got it here.”

The JBAB VietnamWar 50th Anniversary CommemorationDaywas held as part of a nationwide program initiated in 2008by the Secretary ofDefense. Theprogramofficially launched inMay 2012 with a presidential proclamation stating:

In recognition of a chapter in our Nation’s history thatmust never be forgotten, let us renew our sacred commit-ment to those who answered our country’s call in Vietnamand those who awaited their safe return. Beginning on Me-morial Day 2012, the Federal Government will partner withlocal governments, private organizations, and communitiesacross America to participate in the Commemoration of the50th Anniversary of the VietnamWar – a 13-year program tohonor and give thanks to a generation of proud Americanswho saw our country through one of the most challengingmissions we have ever faced. While no words will ever be fullyworthy of their service, nor any honor truly befitting theirsacrifice, let us remember that it is never too late to pay trib-ute to the men and women who answered the call of dutywith courage and valor. Let us renew our commitment to thefullest possible accounting for those who have not returned.Throughout this Commemoration, let us strive to live up totheir example by showing our Vietnam veterans, their fami-lies, and all who have served the fullest respect and supportof a grateful Nation.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of theUnited States of America, by virtue of the authority vested inme by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, dohereby proclaim May 28, 2012, through November 11, 2025,as the Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Viet-nam War.

Choose the right power strip and you can help combatthe ‘vampire’ effect certain electronic devices have on en-ergy consumption.

That’s the latest energy tip from Tim Min, Joint BaseAnacostia-Bolling’s installation energy manager.

“These strips are easy to use and they can reduce vam-pire loads,” explained Min.

The term ‘vampire load’ refers to the energy that is con-sumed by electrical devices plugged-in, but in ‘standbymode’ or not in use. The practice results in electricity beingwasted for non-productive purposes.

The power strips Min recommends to counter this effectare called “current sensing” strips.

The devices come inmultiple configurations, including acombination of both sensing and non-sensing outlets.

Min suggested the strips would work well for many gov-ernment customers who want to be energy friendly whilealso complying with operational requirements.

“For offices where computers are required to stay on, itworks well and allows other devices to be shut off automati-cally,” he said.

Several are available for purchase through the GSA web-site (U.S. General Services Administration), he added, hope-fully making the decision to switch even easier.

EnergyStar.gov lists power strips with timers and occu-pancy sensors as additional energy saving options.

For more information, call Tim Min at 202-767-8615 orvisit EnergyStar.gov.

U.S. NAVY PHOTO BY MICHELLE L. GORDON

National Capital Region First Sergeants Council presented Air Force Staff Sgt. Brittany Freeze with the DiamondSharp Award June 3. “You are strong, you are feisty and you get the job done,” said council president Master Sgt.Taneka Lyles when she presented the award to Freeze. Lyles said the Diamond Sharp Award recognizes individu-als who reach beyond their unit to make a difference throughout both the base and the community. “Recipientscan be military or civilian,” said Lyles. “It’s specifically for those people who help out in phenomenal ways.[Staff] Sgt. Freeze is that Airman.” Freeze has served in the Air Force for more than eight years and has previ-ously been stationed in Japan, Korea, Germany, and Oklahoma. She arrived at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB)eight months ago and currently serves as the executive assistant to JBAB’s Senior Enlisted Leader.

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) base police officersare enforcing speed limits on base and issuing tickets toviolators.

According to Lt. Joseph Mitchell, a JBAB police watchcommander, the number one concern related to speedingis the safety of pedestrians.

“We have a heavy amount of pedestrian traffic on base,”emphasized Mitchell. “In the past, we have had a couple ofpedestrians struck by vehicles. There were no major inju-ries, but still, the safety of the populous and the employeeswho work here is our priority.”

Mitchell noted traffic is heaviest in the morning hours,identifying areas on the north side of the base and near DIA(Defense Intelligence Agency) as some of the busiest for pe-destrian traffic.

Although there are no fines, consequences for speedingcan be serious. The typical penalty is issuance of a ticket withpoints; however, certain violations, including speeding 10miles per hour or more above the posted limit in residentialareas, can result in a 14-day suspension of driving privilegeson base.

Additionally, ticketed infractions will be reported to thedriver’s supervisor or sponsor (as appropriate).

The top speed permitted at JBAB is 35 miles per hour onmain thoroughfares; it drops significantly in areas aroundthe Child Development Centers and housing.

While drivers have the responsibility to be aware oftheir speed and surroundings, added Mitchell, pedestriansshould also exercise good judgment to reduce their risk ofbeing injured.

“The best thing pedestrians can do is take advantage ofthe crosswalks we have,” he explained. “And people loveto run here in the morning, but I’ve stopped runners whodidn’t have the proper reflective gear on.”

For runners, he advised, the best place to stay safe andget a good outdoor run is the track located on ChappieJames Boulevard across from the Commissary.

This summer Joint Base Anacostia-Bol-ling (JBAB) kids are invited to embark on anicy expedition at JBAB Chapel as they learnto overcome obstacles during Vacation Bi-ble School (VBS).

The Mount Everest themed program willbe held at JBAB Chapel July 13-17, and isopen to children in preschool through sixthgrade. Preschoolers must turn 4 years old byDec. 31, 2015 and be potty trained to partici-pate. Early registration is encouraged.

“Registration begins June 20 and it willcontinue until the classes are full,” saidPeggy Eyler, JBAB’s protestant religiouseducation coordinator. “It’s a very popularprogram, so classes usually fill up within thefirst couple of weeks,” she added.

During VBS, Eyler said the chapel willtransform into a mountain adventure,where kids travel to different stations sing-ing songs, going on bible expeditions, andcompleting arts and crafts projects – all ofwhich link back to the lesson of the day.

“What the children are going to discoveris that they can conquer all challenges withGod’s mighty power,” she said. “That’s whatEverest is all about.”

In addition to traditional VBS, the JBABprogram also includes an annual missionproject. Coordinated by JBAB’s Catholic

Religious Education Coordinator, LynnWolfkill, this year’s project will benefit a lo-cal Washington, D.C. shelter.

“Each year we try to do something differ-ent,” said Wolfkill. “This year the tithes andofferings will go to Martha’s Table. We tryto keep it local so our kids will be helpingunderprivileged kids in their own area.”

Wolfkill said the children set a monetarygoal at the beginning of the week and theyare encouraged to earn money so they cancontribute toward it.

“We like for them to do chores and othernice things around the house or for theirneighbors to earn the money,” she said.“We collect it each morning and, at the endof the week, it’s given as a donation in thechildren’s name.”

Eyler and Wolfkill have each taught reli-gious education at JBAB for nearly 20 years;both said VBS would not be possible withoutvolunteers.

“It takes a lot of people to make VBS hap-pen and we are blessed with many volun-teers who want to share their talents,” saidEyler. “The kids get to experience the biblethrough hearing stories, doing activitiesand singing songs. They also get to meetnew friends. Vacation Bible School is a veryunique approach to religious education andit takes a lot of people to make it happen.”

JBAB VBS is free to attend and is open toeveryone with access to the base. For moreinformation, call 202-757-5900.

Speaking at aDOD-Pentagon PrideMonthevent held June 9, Defense Secretary AshCarter announced the Defense Departmenthas updated its military equal opportunityprogram to protect service members againstdiscrimination based on sexual orientation.

Delivering remarks at the fourth Prideevent to be held at the Pentagon since 2012,he said the department has made a lastingcommitment to living the values it defends,including treating everyone equally.

“We have to focus relentlessly on themission, which means the thing that mat-ters most about a person is what they cancontribute to it,” Carter said.

The update, he said, “ensures that thedepartment, like the rest of the federal gov-ernment, treats sexual-orientation-baseddiscrimination the same way it treats dis-crimination based on race, religion, color,sex, age and national origin.”

Fighting Discrimination

“With this policy revision, we are nowensuring that service members are affordedprotection against discrimination in the de-partment’s military equal opportunity pro-gram, provided to all military members,”DOD spokesmanNavy Lt. Cmdr. Nate Chris-tensen said.

Service members now will be able touse command channels, the DOD Inspec-tor General’s Office and the military equalopportunity process, just as DOD civiliansare able to use civilian equal employmentopportunity programs to resolve discrimi-

nation complaints based on sexual orienta-tion, he said.

The department’s experience during theyears since the ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ poli-cy was repealed indicates that the militaryequal opportunity program gives complain-ants greater access to resolution options,Christensen added, and gives commandersaccess to trained equal opportunity advisorsduring the complaints process.

“I’m very proud of the work that themilitary services have put into this over thelast several months,” Carter said, “becausediscrimination of any kind has no place inAmerica’s armed forces.”

Bolling Commissary at Joint Base An-acostia-Bolling (JBAB) will be closed allday June 23-24 to undergo a “reset” of itsretail space.

The store will close at 4 p.m. on June 22and resume normal operating hours themorning of June 25.

According to Michelle Garrard, assistantcommissary officer, the reset will include re-placing hardware, implementing a new lay-out of the “dry goods” areas, and changingsome of the inventory.

“The commissary will have a new look,including new shelves and new items onthose shelves,” said Garrard.

According to a release by DeCA (DefenseCommissary Agency), the reset is part of anagency-wide program that systematicallychanges how products are displayed onshelving throughout a commissary in orderto better serve customer shopping patterns.

The goal is to give commissaries world-wide amore customer-friendly product flow

and a layout that is as consistent as possiblefrom location to location, according to Tra-cie L. Russ, DeCA’s Directory of Sales.

“Although we have to take into consid-eration that no two commissaries are con-structed exactly alike, a customer-friendlyproduct flow means dog food will be nextto pet supplies instead of the charcoal, pea-nut butter is best found next to the jam, andyou shouldn’t have to cruise three differentaisles to find all your cleaning products.It’s a simple matter of making the commis-sary layout more sensible by ‘resetting’ thestore,” she said.

Knowing the reset will mean a differentlayout, Garrard said customers should be as-sured the commissary team is ready to assist.

“We’ll also be providing amap for peopleso they can find their items,” she added.

DeCA says as part of the agency-wide re-set, generic item locators will also be avail-able on individual commissary web pages.Store web pages are under the locations linkat http://www.commissaries.com, alongwith store hours, contact information, storenews and special customer service features.
