CG’S CORNER

“Winning Matters” was the message the 40th Chief of Staff of the Army, Gen. James McConville told leaders in several small group sessions during his visit of Fort Jackson Aug. 1. “Winning matters … but we must do it the right way,” he reiterated to Soldiers throughout the day.

The good news for Fort Jackson is that we are cer-tainly on the right path with regards to winning. Winning �� in a contest or competition.” In our case, we are not in a competition with other installations. As I see it, we are in competition with ourselves and our identity.

��Training and Doctrine Command installations is a sense of team. “Why is that?” you may ask. On division-level installations, such as the 82nd Airborne Division, 101st Infantry Division or the 10th Mountain Division, the division already has an overarching identity, lineage, and history. The central mission of a division is the common focal point for support, unity of effort, and continuity for the rest of the installation. My senses and experi-ences tell me we have a historical lineage at Fort Jackson that is unrivaled by any divisional post. But a unifying and common command and control structure is not the norm on our, or any other, TRADOC installation. Based on a variety of tenant units which are often referred to as “Partners in Excellence” each with a different chain of command and command and control structure, it is a challenge to establish a true sense of unity and team cohesion.

Nevertheless, something different is occurring at Fort Jackson. One of my routine sayings is, “We all have one label … Fort Jackson.” But what does this mean? Individual Soldiers and civilians, units, and other tenant � �� Fort Jackson regardless of good news, bad news, or the

command and control chain in which they report. In this sense, you can report to IMCOM, MEDCOM, or CIMT to name a few, but the fact remains that you are located at Fort Jackson which becomes the “label” under which your unit operates.

Over the course of the past eight months, Fort Jackson has been “winning” in a collective way. Some say all of the stars are simply aligning at the right time, others say it is simply luck, and still others say it is all one big coincidence.

Leader Staff Reports

U.S. Army Training Center and Fort Jackson Commander Brig. Gen. Mil-ford “Beags” Beagle, Jr., and a panel of representatives asked residents “not to suffer in silence” and report housing issues during a town hall Sept. 10. Fort Jackson post residents were in attendance, along with residents watching a live stream, to discuss any housing issues that have arisen since the last town hall about three months ago.

“I thank you for being here, your time is very valuable,” Beagle said. “We want every voice to be heard. We want to entertain as many questions as pos-sible. If we don’t answer your questions, please come up. I will stay as long as it takes as well as the rest of the team.”

Fort Jackson holds town halls quarterly for post residents to speak directly �� with as little impact to daily living. The town hall addresses the main problem of customer satisfaction between the post residents and Balfour Betty housing ��

The relationship between Fort Jackson and Balfour Beatty has to be better, Beagle said answering a question submitted online about any changes in the relationship.

“We have got to make it better,” Beagle said. “The relationship is what it is at this point. We can only make it better … It’s going to take every person, every resident in our partnership to make this right. “

Part of that is done through communication.“You shouldn’t have to sit on a issue for weeks,” Beagle said as he asked

residents to report issues. “There are information hotlines if someone hasn’t responded to you within 24 hours. Don’t sit on top of an issue for weeks and say ‘I have had an issue for weeks,’ call the number.”

Col. Wes Hankins, Fort Jackson Garrsion Commander, listens as Paula Cook with Balfour Beatty answers questions during a quarterly town hall held Sept. 10 at the Joe E. Mann ballroom.

Hurricane Dorian had dominated news headlines for weeks. Viewers were able to watch as Dorian whipped the Bahamas. As Dorian grew closer to the East Coast, con-cerns mounted as the hurricanes made its way closer to South Carolina.

A mandatory evacuation of the states coastline meant local Columbia businesses were booming as hurricane �� shelves at grocery stores looked less and less full. Even Fort Jackson felt the surge of incoming per-sonnel from Joint Base Charleston who were temporarily housed until the storm passed.

The most recent crew of trainees to help with efforts were from 3rd Battalion, 34th Infantry Regiment, who graduated Sept. 12. These trainees offered post residents a sense of relief knowing they would be provided with nec-essary sandbags to help prevent storm damages from Hur-ricane Dorian and any future hurricanes that may form later this year.

Fort Jackson’s Army Community Service welcomed Cassandra Mc-Neal-Harris as she taught military Families how to save hundreds or thou-sands of dollars using coupons in a workshop on Sept. 10. She even taught a few handy tricks on how to double or triple savings using not only paper coupons, but digital coupons and smartphone apps as well.

“It takes a lot of practice and depends on the store and cashier,” Mc-Neal-Harris said. “It gets easier but they have more guidelines than they did before.”

Those guidelines she spoke about are essential to maximize savings when using coupons. She explained how each store has it’s own policy �� one time and whether or not a certain store offers double or triple coupon values on certain days.

“Couponing requires time, discipline and organization,” she said.McNeal-Harris said how coupons are available from a variety of sourc-

SOCIAL MEDIA SECURITY:

Tips from an Army special agentBy C. TODD LOPEZDefense.gov

Even the most innocuous data posted to a social media feed can be married up with other publicly available infor-mation to provide online criminals the tools they need to exploit members of the military or general public, an Army special agent said.

Special Agent Deric Palmer, program manager for the Digital Personal Protection Program, part of the Major Cy-bercrime Unit at the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Com-mand, explained how those who aren’t careful or aren’t paying attention can unwittingly provide scammers and other online criminals all the information they need to ex-ploit them.

Social media accounts, Palmer said, serve as fertile ground for digging up the kinds of information that can be used to impersonate someone, steal identities or break into other online accounts, such as banking or insurance.

A Facebook page, for example, might contain current and past physical addresses where a person has lived, �� -cant events such as birthdays and anniversaries, hobbies and other interests. Just browsing a Facebook page, Palm-�� shows, political and religious leanings.

HousingContinued from Page 3

While the number of housing issues are much smaller in comparison to other military installations, maintenance and emergency housing issues do occur on Fort Jackson. Beagle explained how there is still a problem of the timeliness of work orders on the post.

“We have to get better at the responsiveness,” he said. �{��!�� 6��"

Beagle showed a slide during the town hall to map out his plan to improve housing concerns through three objec-tives aimed at improving customer satisfaction rates, reduc-ing the time it takes to complete submitted work orders and to exceed military standards.

He added future town halls will be held once every three

months. Future meetings would provide residents with the status of previous town halls and address any new concerns that arise. Beagle encouraged all the residents to participate in the town halls to ensure housing issues are addressed and every residents concerns would be heard.

“We don’t know what we don’t know,” he said. “Some may continue to suffer in silence so we have to increase participation.”

“Don’t suffer in silence,” she said. “It’s a community effort, it’s a shared responsibility, it’s

our community and you are the eyes and ears of that com-munity,” said Hankins. “We appreciate all the feedback. We look at those opportunities to excel, opportunities to sup-�� >��@��!��6��7��;��6��7��-tions.

Fort Jackson remains committed to improving the over-all satisfaction of housing residents by continuing to hold town hall meeting, addressing housing concerns with resi-dents and the staff of Balfour Betty and continuing to ad-dress housing concerns from residents as they arise.

Brig. Gen. Milford H. “Beags” Beagle Jr., Fort Jackson commander, listens intently to a question poised during a quarterly housing town hall held Sept. 10. The town hall, the third held by Fort Jackson, followed up on previous town halls. Beagle reiterated the housing community shouldn’t ‘suffer in silence’ and should report problems. The town hall was the first that took questions from social media.

WinningContinued from Page 2

I wouldn’t discredit any of those views, but I will add that one thing has proven itself to be true for many years; winning is contagious. Our unify-ing theme has become winning at an unprecedented level.

The feeling of a sense of purpose, knowing that the individual and organizational efforts are appreci-ated, and that hard work produces top results is a �� !�� Fort Jackson has received many accolades in its 102-year history and I would venture to say that never has our installation received, earned, and won, so many

accolades in such a short time and across the breadth of our installation. In this sense, we have proven that we have committed, hardworking, and talented in-dividuals and organizations. It also expresses to the outside that we respect and value teamwork.

&�� sustain at an installation as diverse as Fort Jackson and yet we are doing it. We are winning! And within the intent of the 40th CSA, we are doing it the right way; with cooperation, espirit de corps, and good old-fashioned teamwork.

The chart on page 2 is a testament to our instal-lation’s desire to win as a team. I appreciate all of �� !� 7�� Partners in Excellence to not only meet the standard but to consistently exceed it.

Thank you for what you do and for pursuing ex-cellence as a team. WE ARE…TEAM JACKSON!

CouponsContinued from Page 8

Wendy Campbell, a representative of the Fort Jackson Ex-change, also spoke to the class members to inform them of the coupon policy at The Exchange. She said coupons are always welcome at The Exchange as long as they are not expired, tampered with and do not exceed the price of the item being purchased.

“We don’t charge you any taxes,” Campbell said. “We are saving you a lot by coming to us on-post.”

Small notebooks were passed out to each attendee to help start a “price book.” McNeal-Harris said writing down the price of commonly used items at a variety of stores can help ��

“The more you do it, the more comfortable you get with it,” she said.

McNeal-Harris also talked about building a stockpile. While the term stock pile may sound familiar to TV watchers and disaster preppers, she encouraged to start slowly building a stock pile of items a household uses daily. This can include paper products such as toilet paper and paper towels, cleaning supplies and pet food and treats. She encouraged the class to buy for the future and know how much product the household uses and when too much has been accumulated, donate it.

She spoke about school supplies she had stockpiled throughout the year and how she then donated them to her extended Family members and her local church.

McNeal-Harris explained how easily it is to be fooled while shopping by store promotions such as 10 for $10 deals and bigger is not necessarily better. She said it can be easy to get caught up in a savings deal by purchasing 10 of cer-tain items for $10 when the items are normally only a dollar

when purchased alone and that buying a larger size product is not always cheaper than purchasing a smaller version of the same product. She also encouraged shoppers to make sure and check your receipts for any errors or over charges.

After couponing for more than 10 years, McNeal-Harris

said she and her husband are able to travel throughout the year using the savings she gets from coupon shopping. Her adventures include traveling, purchasing

“I don’t pay full price for anything (when using coupons and store deals),” said McNeal-Harris. “It’s worth it.”

SocialContinued from Page 11

All that, he said, serves as “an attack vector” that an unscrupulous person can use to commu-nicate with users further and gain their trust. Ad-ditional communications can bring out even more details that might later be used to break into on-line accounts or exploit users in other ways. Some social media users, Palmer added, even volunteer critical information that could be used to access �� +�� divulge if they were asked by a stranger.

Some online memes, he noted, pose as games that get users to volunteer information that, cou-pled with other easily obtainable information, can be used to exploit them. A quick search online re-veals a simple graphic meme that purportedly al-lows users to choose “your new cat name” and then post the results, along with the meme itself, on their own social media feed.

For the “cat name” meme, users would use the last digit of their phone number as a selector for �� 0�� 4 �� choose from a list of 12 middle names, and their favorite color to choose from a list of eight poten-tial last names.

A user might end up with “Count Sassy Pants” as a silly name for their cat. When they post that on their social media feed, along with the meme image itself, would-be criminals will know their phone number ends in 8, they were born in either August or September, and that their favorite color is yellow. Coupled with data already on their so-cial media feed, and with data that can be obtained from data brokers, the information makes it easier to exploit users, Palmer explained.

Military personnel also are candidates to be im-personated online -- malicious users might opt to use imagery of real-world service members avail-able online to exploit other users. The U.S. mili-tary is one of the most trusted institutions in the nation, and online criminals, Palmer said, take ad-vantage of that.

“The U.S. military is viewed as a prestigious ��'''� !�+�� *��'�&!�+�� '� !�� !�� 5'�'�general, unwitting people will respect me immedi-ately.”

With that respect, he said, a criminal can exploit other users while pretending to be a member of the 5'�'��'��+�� 7�� +�� $��tape visible. “It immediately makes you a target,” the special agent said.

% ��;�� +�� <��-cido said keeping oneself secure on social media ��&�� '*

“Most social media platforms have step-by-step guides on exactly how to do this,” he said. “This will keep personal information from getting into the hands of individuals looking to exploit it.”

Salcido also offered advice on keeping safe $�� %�� '�
