Delegates representing ev-eryone from teens to Soldiers in the Baumholder community came together Feb. 17 and 18 for the annual Army Family Action Plan conference to try and improve the Army’s qual-ity of life

They gathered to voice what is and isn’t working locally and Army wide and recommend ways to make changes or im-prove what’s not working.

At the close of the con-ference Lt. Col. (P) Paul Pfahler, U.S. Army Garri-son Baumholder commander, thanked the delegates for all of their work and explained that the garrison would handle all issues that could be resolved lo-cally. Issues having Army wide impact would be forwarded to the next AFAP level for further discussion or action.

An abbreviated version of all the issues discussed at the AFAP conference follows. The full scope of the issues and the recommendations were edited for publication. A complete, un-edited version is available on line at www.baumholder.army.mil

Medical and DentalDownrange dental care

Deployed Soldiers experi-ence a lack of dental care, including routine check-ups and minor dental procedures. This lack of care results in a large number of Soldiers that develop extensive dental condi-tions. The already understaffed dental clinics expend time and resources correcting the issues that developed downrange.Recommendation

Appoint a dental profes-sional on the Combat Logistic Patrols to provide a continuous mode of dental support for Soldiers. Standard health care

Army families are experi-encing difficulty in obtaining standardized care across the Department of Defense. Dif-ficulties arise when family members and Soldiers seek services at non-Army facilities and later find out that the ser-vices provided do not suffice for Army regulated processes.Recommendations

Improving quality of life is AFAP focus

Photo by Ignacio “Iggy” Rubalcava

Delegates from the medical and dental group address ideas to improve Soldier care.Establish a standardized

SOP for all branches across the Department of Defense.

Ensure that all Department of Defense medical providers can access the records of all DoD ID card holders.EFMP screening

Army Families are experi-encing difficulty in obtaining timely and accurate information regarding their dependents’ EFMP screening information prior to their arrival at their OCONUS duty station. Recommendations

Ensure all Soldiers with dependents are provided a man-datory briefing regarding the EFMP screening process prior to graduation from Advanced Individual Training, One Sta-tion Unit Training, and Officer’s Basic Course, etc.

Ensure that all Soldiers en-rolling dependents into DEERS be provided with an EFMP screening information packet.

Establish an electronic me-dium (i.e. Army EFMP web site) for spouses and Soldiers to access regarding the procedures associated with completing the EFMP screening.

TeensStudent activity bus

There are limited off-post transportation options for those who need transportation to and from inter and intra post activities. Recommendation

Establish subsidized activity bus services to outlying towns to

take students home after activi-ties and provide shuttle service to other area installations. Quality information

Community information methods and access are lim-ited and need to be directed toward teens. Teens want to be involved in communication and to have briefings on current issues and.Recommendation

Establish a Teen CIB in correlation with teen town hall meetings. Establish a Facebook account. E-mail the daily bul-letins to students. Regularly update Baumholder web page.

Benefits, entitlementsPregnant Soldiers

Single pregnant Soldiers are not assigned to family housing until the birth of the child.

The current regulation re-quires the Soldier to stay in the barracks until the birth of her child. Since she has not been authorized quarters, the Soldier and her baby depart the hospital with no home to go to. Recommendation

The regulation should be changed to allow pregnant single Soldiers to obtain Family housing at least by their fifth month of pregnancy. Utility entitlements

Military personnel with de-pendents are forced to survive off of utilities based on a flat rate. The current regulation states that Soldiers with multiple dependents living off-post are to receive the same utility rate as a

Soldier with one dependent.Recommendation

The regulation should be changed to allow military families to receive utility entitle-ments based on a tier system per number of dependents as opposed to a flat rate. Pay as you go meal cards

Single Soldiers and Soldiers who are geographically single in the rank of E-5 and below are required to have meal deduc-tions taken out of their pay.

Soldiers are getting charged meal deductions regardless of whether they utilize the dining facility. Recommendation

Change the USAREUR pol-icy so that Soldiers are charged only for meals that they eat in the dining facility i.e. the “pay as you go” system.

Consumer groupAAFES and consumers’ needs

AAFES is out of touch with their core consumer base. This is evident in the lack of personnel during peek hours, long turn around time for products and poor quality of service. Recommendations

Train and enforce employ-ment standards to enhance professionalism.

Adjust work hours to meet the needs of consumers.

Standardize and post time frame for products or services rendered.

Enforce “Soldiers first pol-icy.” Bachelors, bachelorettes

Geographical bachelors and bachelorettes have no program-ming in terms of support groups or MWR opportunities. Recommendations

Institute MWR trips geared toward geographically sepa-rated Soldiers, to include single parents.

Create support groups for geographically separated Sol-diers through ACS. JAG limitations

Soldiers experience limited legal assistance due to JAG law-yers’ individual state licensing and specialties. Many civilian legal issues are unable to be addressed by military attorneys. The result is large out of pocket expenses for the Soldier. Recommendations

Institute an inter-military referral program to incorporate the state licensing and legal specialty.

Revise AR 27-10 to include a reimbursement program for civilian legal fees.

Family support groupOCONUS in-processing

The Total Army Sponsorship Program, AR 600-8-8, has been more specifically tailored to fit the needs of Soldiers PCSing from CONUS to CONUS and it neglects to address PCSing OCONUS. The SGATE site fails to function properly and personnel do not receive a spon-sor until after arriving overseas if they received one at all.Recommendations

Publish a change to AR 600-8-8 tailored specifically to PCSing overseas.

Sponsorship should be es-tablished as a permanent posi-tion, rather than an additional duty. Child care policies

Spouses who pursue higher education during deployments are not able to gain any prefer-ence for full time child care slots according to CYSS policy. Spouses who are able to use the post 9-11 GI Bill benefits are limited by the lack of available full time childcare slots. Recommendations

Change policy so full time (12 credit hours) student parents are given the same priority pref-erence as employed parents.

Burg Lichtenberg is the sight of the annual motorcycle riders chapel service.

By Tim HippsFMWRC Public Affairs

Recording artist Leigh Jones is humbled to headline the I. A.M. STRONG Tour headed to 24 Army installations dur-ing the next two months. She will perform in Baumholder at the Wagon Wheel Theatre on March 15 from 7-9 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m.

The concert and comedy show is designed to raise aware-ness about the prevention of sexual assault and harassment among Soldiers and military Family members.

“I love to meet these men and women face to face and shake their hands and look right into their eyes and just thank them for all they have done for us,” said Jones, who will be joined on the tour by hip-hop band Animate Objects, professional comedians and Soldier talent. “We are so, so lucky to have them in our lives, so to be able to do a small thing like this is a big deal.”

The Army G-1 presenta-tion, produced by the Army Entertainment Division of the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command, is dedicated to eliminating sexual assault.

The I. A.M. STRONG ac-ronym stands for intervene, act

Leigh Jones headlines I.A.M. Strong tourand motivate others to stop sexual ha-rassment, assaults and sexually of-fensive language, innuendo and ges-tures that create an environment friendly to abuse. Toleration of these acts among troops has been reduced to zero, Army leaders say. Strong, quite simply, is the Army way.

The entertain-ment tour was de-signed to help mili-tary communities realize:lWhen I recog-

nize a threat to my fellow Soldiers, I will have the per-sonal courage to intervene and pre-vent sexual assault. I will condemn acts of sexual harass-ment. I will not abide obscene gestures, language or behavior. I am a warrior and a member of a team. I will intervene.lYou are my brother, my

sister, my fellow Soldier. It is my duty to stand up for you, no matter the time or place. I will take action. I will do what’s

right. I will prevent sexual harassment and assault. I will not tolerate sexually offensive behavior. I will act.lWe are American Soldiers,

motivated to keep our fellow Soldiers safe. It is our mission to prevent sexual harassment and assault. We will denounce

sexual misconduct. As Soldiers, we are all motivated to take ac-tion. We are strongest together.

Jones’ a lbum, “Music in my Soul,” features “Free Fall,” a song that delivers part of the Army’s message loudly and clearly dur-ing the tale of a defiant girlfriend who stands her ground against being subjected to her boyfriend’s con-venience.

“We want to en-courage people to be strong,” Jones said. “We want to encourage the preven-tion of suicide and sexual harassment. We hear that’s a big thing among Soldiers, which is such a shame. We just want people to stay positive.”

“Just being able to go on any kind of a tour is abso-lutely incredible,” she said. “It is just more than rewarding for me to be able to give something back to these men and women who are giving so much of their lives for us. It’s such a humbling experience. There is no other place that I’d rather be singing.

Jones will perform for Sol-diers at community recreation centers or designated facilities, followed by meet-and-greet autograph signing/photo ses-sions with all attendees. She also will visit dining facilities to have lunch, interact and sign autographs until the last Soldier leaves.

“Beyond the entertainment, I love just hanging,” Jones said. “I love to get a feel for their personalities and just hang out, have a good time, and let them know that we’re real people and we go through ups and downs just like they do. You’ve just got to be positive through it all.

“They are away from their Families, and when we’re on the road, we get lonely. But we really have no idea what they go through. I have this song called “Cold in L.A.,” and some of the Soldiers were from California. It was really good to just get a feel for the actual human being behind this huge force.”

“I’m just grateful, thankful, and I’m humble to be a part of such a huge movement with this I. A.M. STRONG Tour,” Jones concluded. “This is go-ing to touch a lot of peoples’ lives and I’m so blessed to be a part of it.”
