FORT POLK, La. — The Joint Readiness Train-ing Center and Fort Polk retention team has beenrecognized as the top retention team in the U.S.Army’s Forces Command in the large direct re-porting units category.

Brig. Gen. Patrick D. Frank, commander, JRTCand Fort Polk, said the results are an indicationof the outstanding work done by the retentionteam.

“Reenlisting quality Soldiers at the JRTC andFort Polk not only increases the ability of ourteam to provide excellent training to brigadecombat teams and other units before they deploydown range, it also improves the esprit de corpsof units on Fort Polk as they are able to retaintop-notch Soldiers and helps the Army meet itsend-strength goals,” Frank said.

“The JRTC and Fort Polk is known as the pre-miere training center in the Army and by retain-ing our best Soldiers, it ensures we will continueto be the leader in preparing our Armed Forcesfor combat operations.”

Sgt. Maj. James Chrisco, command retentionsergeant major for the JRTC and Fort Polk, saidthe job could not have been accomplished with-out the support of the installation commandteam.

“The main difference I’m seeing is commandinvolvement. We did a 180-degree turnaroundand started seeing results. We informed the dif-ferent subordinate commands of where theirnumbers were and where they needed to be,” hesaid. “Getting positive feedback from the com-manders and their engagement with the reten-

tion team was a huge factor in our success. I’mtalking from company command level all theway to the commanding general.”

The Army announced in September that it hadachieved its goals for the year and signed morethan 68,000 new Soldiers willing to serve the na-tion. FORSCOM groups retention teams into cat-egories so that an installation like the JRTC andFort Polk isn’t competing with smaller installa-

tions or larger teams belonging to XVIII AirborneCorps.

Chrisco said his team points out the quality oflife benefits for Families and that the decision toleave the Army doesn’t only affect the Soldier,but their Families as well. He said sometimesyou must lay out the big picture and let Soldiers

FORT POLK, La. — The Department of De-fense is preparing for the largest patronage ex-pansion for commissary, exchange and certainmorale, welfare and recreation retail facilities inmore than 65 years.

Starting Jan. 1 the Department of Defense andDepartment of Homeland Security are expand-ing in-store commissary and military exchangeshopping privileges as well as Directorate ofFamily Morale, Welfare and Recreationretail facility use to veterans who arePurple Heart recipients, former pris-oners of war or with service-con-nected disabilities and caregiversor family caregivers who are en-rolled as the primary caregiverfor veterans in the Departmentof Veteran Affairs Program ofCompressive Assistance forFamily Caregivers.

Justin Hall, director of the DoDoffice of MWR and Resale Policy saidthere are currently about 6 million householdseligible for the shopping benefit. As of Jan. 1 thatnumber will increase by about 3 million.

“That’s a huge lift across the entire system,”Hall said.

Hall said newly eligible patrons should go tothe visitors center at the installation where theyplan to do most of their shopping to registertheir credentials.

“Thereafter, they will be able to access the in-stallation in the same way as common access

card and DoD ID card holders,” he said.The new customers will pay a fee for using a

credit card at commissaries, except for those us-ing the Military Star card. The initial fee for com-mercial credit cards will be 1.9%; for debit cards,0.5%. Credit card companies charge transactionfees to retailers when customers use their creditcards. There will be a flag built into the system atcommissaries so that when the card is swipedthe fee will be charged. The fee applies only to

new patrons using credit cards in commis-saries, not to those who were previous-

ly authorized to shop.New customers can avoid the

fees by paying by cash, check orusing the Military Star card,which they will be eligible to ap-ply for beginning Jan. 1.

Details regarding identifica-tion requirements for both vet-erans and caregivers are being

finalized by Military, Commu-nity and Family Policy office

(MC&FP). At this time it’s expected vet-erans will use a Veterans Health Identifica-

tion Card (VHIC) and caregivers a letter. Anysuch credit and/or debit card fees only apply tothe groups as stated above. For information onacquiring a VHIC visit www.va.gov/healthbene-fits/enroll or visit a VA medical facility. The VAwill issue eligible caregivers a letter indicatingthey are the primary caregiver or family caregiv-er.

For more on how this will affect Fort Polk,read upcoming issues of the Guardian.

FORT MEADE, Md. — While the Army Com-bat Fitness Test will be the largest overhaul in as-sessing a Soldier’s physical fitness in nearly 40years, it is just one part of the Army’s new healthpush, says the service’s top holistic health officer.

Holistic health and fitnessHolistic Health and Fitness is a multifaceted

strategy to not only ace the ACFT, but improveSoldier individual wellness,

Properly trainedTo overmatch the enemy in multi-domain op-

erations, Soldiers must demonstrate the superiorphysical fitness required for combat by trainingproperly in all aspects of holistic fitness, includ-ing the ACFT.

Be well restedNeglecting sleep can take a negative toll on the

body. Adequate sleep can improve productivity,emotional balance, brain and heart health, theimmune system and vitality, according to the Na-tional Institutes of Health. For maximum opti-mization, officials encourage Soldiers to get atleast eight hours of sleep.

Eat right“How we get up and feel in the morning, how

we recover from exercise, how we utilize energythroughout the day, is all optimized through un-derstanding, and implementing, proper nutri-tion,” said Maj. Brenda Bustillos, a dietician atthe U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command.

Soldiers “should always train to fight,” Bustil-los said. Nourishment immediately before anACFT is also important. “Soldiers should neverstart the day on an empty tank,” she said.

Clear your mindWhen you toe the line on test day, it’s natural

to feel anxiety. Before the stopwatch starts, Sol-diers should clear their minds, take a deep breathand try thinking positively.

Experts say ACFT is one part of holistic health, fitnessBy T.HOMAS BRADINGArmy News Service

WASHINGTON — Soldiers could be workingmore closely with the Air Force in the near fu-ture. As the U.S. military looks to maintain its strategicadvantage over near-peer adversaries Russia andChina, convergence among the Army and AirForce has quickly become a tenet of the multi-do-main concept, a senior Army leader said Oct. 15.

“What I think we’re finding … in terms of ourexperiences in war games with our Air Forcecounterparts, is there’s an increasing mutual de-pendence on the capabilities in order to establish,regain or maintain air superiority,” said Lt. Gen.Eric Wesley, Army Futures Command deputycommander, during an Association of the U.S.Army Annual Meeting and Exposition panel.

Russia and China present notably differentstrategic challenges, Wesley said, and both haveengaged in what leaders have called multiplelayers of standoff in a contested multi-domainbattle space.

In order to combat those potential deadlocks,Wesley cited as an example, the Air Force’s F-35Lightning II combined with the Army’s long-range precision fires and lower earth orbit satel-lites could create a capability that peer adver-saries cannot match.

“That allows you to control the air throughmutual supported effort with convergence,” Wes-ley said. “That multi-domain activity [could cre-ate] convergence of fires at a time and place ofour choosing,” said Air Force Maj. Gen. MichaelFantini, director of the Air Force’s warfighting in-tegration capability.

“We want to do that at a scale and speed thatwe’ve not seen in the past.”

In recent months, Army leaders have dis-cussed the possibility of greater joint efforts incombat operations to effectively compete withnear-peer adversaries. Wesley has met with Fan-tini during the past year to discuss how conver-gence between the two services can strengthenthe joint force.

Fantini said that competing in multi-domainoperations challenges U.S. forces to think multi-laterally. “When you look at space, air (and) cyber capabil-

ities, and the ability to see that from a large per-spective … and the same with foundational nu-clear deterrence, you can’t wish that away,” Fan-tini said. “Those foundational capabilities thatare afforded to the joint force are not inconse-quential in our society. … I think we need to havea more thoughtful engagement strategy and exe-cution strategy on exactly how we execute in thegrey zone.”

Fantini said a combined air operations centerprovides the blueprint for successfully combin-ing joint capabilities. He added that the jointchiefs have agreed that the services must placegreater focus on command and control. Wesleysaid that the U.S. military will need to lean close-ly on command and control capabilities due tothe complexity of combat missions with nearpeers.

“The battlefield that we envision is so hyper-active, I would argue there’s still going to bethings that are unknown and unknowable,” Wes-ley said. “A battlefield that is as hyperactive as

we describe will require us to leverage missioncommand on a scale that our generation has nev-er seen.”

In order to achieve victory, Wesley said theU.S. must maintain its competitive edge, or thestatus quo, and the Army must continually adaptto the changing battlefield.

Wesley identified three objectives for victoryin the competitive battlespace:

• The Army must counter conventional war-fare and cyberattacks. The Army has placed agreater emphasis on shoring up its cybercapabili-ties, assigning special defense cyber teams in-cluding those of the National Guard.

• The second is operational preparation of theenvironment.

• For the third, Wesley said the Army mustdemonstrate deterrence.

“If you want to win a rapid conflict … youhave to be actively engaged in identifying theoverall battle of your opponent every singleday,” Wesley said.

FORT POLK, La. — The 3rd Brigade CombatTeam, 10th Mountain Dvision began adding theArmy’s new Joint Light Tactical Vehicle to theirmotor pool inventory Oct. 22 when unit Soldiersconducted inventories with representatives ofOshkosh Defense, LLC, on the first 14 of 192 ofthe new JLTVs.

Oshkosh was awarded the contract for manu-facturing the JLTV which will replace many ofthe Army and Marine Corps High Mobility Mul-tipurpose Wheeled Vehicles, more commonly re-ferred to as HMMWVs.

“The JLTV program exemplifies the benefit ofstrong ties between the warfighter and acquisi-tion communities," said Bruce Jette, assistant sec-retary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, andTechnology. “With continuous feedback from theuser, our program office is able to reach the rightbalance of technological advancements that willprovide vastly improved capability, survivability,networking power and maneuverability.”

The JLTV family of vehicles restores payloadand performance that were traded from light tac-tical vehicles to add protection for recent con-flicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. JLTVs will giveSoldiers, Marines and their commanders moreoptions in a protected mobility solution that isalso the first vehicle purpose-built for modernbattlefield networks.

The JLTVs at Fort Polk are in two variants:General purpose and utility vehicle.

Jason Lairson, JLTV training specialist forOshkosh, said the JLTVs would be issued to FortPolk units 14 at a time with all 192 expected to bein local units’ hands by Thanksgiving.

“It’s a time consuming process as we have toinventory each piece of equipment associatedwith each vehicle,” Lairson said. “We also haveto provide driver training, and training for thosemechanics who will work on the vehicles.”

Lairson said the JLTV offers Soldiers morehead and leg room, back support, armor upgradeand air conditioning.

Sgt. 1st Class Jimmy Dixon, 710th BrigadeSupport Battalion, 3rd BCT, 10th Mtn Div, servedas a liaison between the 3rd BCT and Oshkosh.

“The comfort in going from a HMMWV to theJLTV is tremendous,” Dixon said. “We’ve reallymade great strides in technology with the JLTV.”

Representatives from FORSCOM G-4 were atFort Polk Oct. 22 to observe to handover of vehi-cles.

FORT POLK, La. — In today’s Army, Un-manned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are a vital assetto the warfighters on the ground by providingreal-time surveillance of the battlespace enablingcommanders to make calculated decisions.Specifically, the RQ-7Bv2 Shadow, an unmannedtactical reconnaissance aerial system capable ofdisplaying full motion video (FMV), is a keycomponent to the success of ground operationsduring Joint Readiness Training Center rotations.Shadow provides early warning to forward re-connaissance elements, creates actionable intelli-gence through detailed information, and assistsvisual and radio sustainment across the battle-field.

Shadow operators and maintainers across theArmy train relentlessly to high standards tomaintain mission readiness and successfully sup-port the engagement and destruction of the ene-my. Shadow platoons are expected to reach 600flight hours each fiscal year resulting in a moreeffective UAS Soldier.

Fort Polk’s UAS Shadow Platoon, Delta Com-pany, 317th Brigade Engineer Battalion, 3rdBrigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division,exceeded the standard by amassing 706 hours forfiscal year 2019, a feat that no other individualShadow platoon in the Army has achieved in agarrison environment.

“Since we do our job more than anyone else inthe Army, we are able to diagnose and trou-bleshoot problems quickly minimizing downtime,” said Chief Warrant Officer 2 JonathanSlothower, UAS operations technician.

The UAS Shadow Platoon not only supports3rd BCT, 10th Mtn Div’s mission, but also worksin tandem with the 1st Battalion, 509th InfantryRegiment “Geronimos” — the JRTC OPFOR. Infiscal year 2019, the UAS Shadow Platoon sup-ported 10 JRTC rotations accumulating 426 hoursof flight time equating to more realistic trainingfor participating units.

The opportunity to support JRTC rotations al-lows operators and maintainers to hone their

skills and effectively increase lethality. “Maximizing flight hours has a direct correla-

tion between capability and experience … themore training UAS operators and maintainers re-ceive, the more lethal they become,” Slothowersaid.

The Shadow Platoon also actively supportscombined arms live fire exercises and offers OneSystem Remote Viewing Terminal classes to as-sist 3rd BCT’s overall readiness.

The Shadow Platoon seeks to exceed the 706flight hour record for fiscal year 2020 by support-

ing JRTC rotations, brigade exercises andthrough training progression flights.

“When it’s time to fly, you fly,” Chief WarrantOfficer 3 Grant Black, UAS operations officersaid. “Expectations are high, the operation tempois high, and to ensure the mission gets done ef-fectively, we have to take advantage of every op-portunity we can to train.”

The UAS Platoon held a UAS Night Oct. 4 toclose out fiscal year 2019 and honor UAS opera-tors and maintainers for their hard work, dedica-tion and accomplishments throughout the year.

Those options include cross trainingand possibly a retention bonus depending onthe military occupation specialty the Soldierfalls under.

Chrisco said the efforts of the retentionteam have an impact on the Army as a whole.

“If we don’t meet the Congressional end

strength, that affects everything includingreadiness,” he said. “We are just a small pieceof that pie but we set that as a goal for theteam. We’ll make our numbers here by beingmore aggressive in tracking and contactingthese Soldiers. That helps us, FORSCOM andthe Army.”

FORT POLK, La. — October is National Den-tal Hygiene Month - a good time to consideryour oral health routine and habits.

“Ideally you should brush your teeth twice aday, floss at least once a day and have a dentalexam and cleaning every six months to preventtooth decay and gum disease,” Holly Morris,Fort Polk Dental Health Command dental hy-gienist, said.

She also recommended not brushing immedi-ately after eating and waiting 15 minutes or soto allow the mouth to get back to a normal phlevel.

Good oral hygiene is more than just brushingand flossing though.

“What we eat and put into our mouths has alarge impact on our oral health. You should lim-it foods and drinks that are highly acidic suchas pickles, lemons, coffee and wine, as well asfoods high in sugar. Moderation is key.” Morrissaid. “You should also stay away from smoking.Smoking impairs your body's ability to heal andfight off germs by restricting blood flow, in-creasing the chances of periodontal disease.

“Early gums disease is usually painless, andoccasional bleeding while brushing or an un-pleasant mouth odor are the only warningsigns. However, left untreated, gum diseaseeventually damages the bones and tissues thatsupport the teeth,” she said

Good dental hygiene practices do more thanjust prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

“Your oral health also affects your overallhealth,” Morris said. “Poor dental health canlead to coronary heart disease, stroke and can

have an adverse effect on diabetes and arthri-tis.”

If you’re not sure about your oral health con-dition, October is the perfect month to visityour dentist and get an expert’s view.

Here’s hoping Fort Polk Families have happy, haunting Halloween holiday

Take handy Halloween safety tips seriously

Fall celebrations like Halloween and Har-vest Day are fun times for children, who candress up in costumes, enjoy parties and eatyummy treats. These celebrations also pro-vide a chance to give out healthy snacks, getphysical activity and focus on safety.

Check out these tips to help make the fes-tivities fun and safe for trick-or-treaters andparty guests.

Trick or treating• Swords, knives and other costume acces-

sories should be short, soft and flexible.• Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Walk in

groups or with a trusted adult.• Fasten reflective tape to costumes and

bags to help drivers see you.• Examine treats for choking hazards and

tampering before eating them. Limit theamount of treats you eat.

• Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treatingto help you see and others see you. Walk anddon’t run from house to house.

• Always test make-up in a small area first.Remove it before bedtime to prevent possibleskin and eye irritation.

• Look both ways before crossing thestreet. Use crosswalks wherever possible.

• Lower your risk for serious eye injury bynot wearing decorative contact lenses.

• Only walk on sidewalks whenever possi-ble, or on the far edge of the road facing traf-fic to stay safe.

• Wear well-fitting masks, costumes andshoes to avoid blocked vision, trips and falls.

• Eat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoideating homemade treats made by strangers.

• Never walk near lit candles or luminar-ies. Be sure to wear flame-resistant costumes.

EntertainingIf you are expecting trick-or-treaters or

party guests, follow these tips to help makethe festivities fun and safe for everyone:

• Provide healthier treats for trick-or-treaters such as low-calorie treats and drinks.For guests, offer a variety of fruits and veg-etables.

• Use party games and trick-or-treat timeas an opportunity for kids to get their dailydose of 60 minutes of physical activity.

• Be sure walking areas and stairs arewell-lit and free of obstacles that could causesomeone to fall.

• Keep candle-lit jack o’lanterns and lumi-naries away from doorsteps, walkways, land-ings and curtains. Place them on sturdytables out of the reach of pets and small chil-dren and never leave them unattended.

• Remind drivers to watch out for trick-or-

treaters and to drive safely.Costume make-upFace paints can be fun on Halloween and

other special occasions. Here are tips to helpkeep your fun from leaving you with a rash,swollen eyelids or other reaction.

Decorating your face with face paint orother makeup lets you see better than youcan if you're wearing a mask. A mask canmake it hard to see where you're going andwatch out for cars. But make sure yourpainted-on designs don't cause problems oftheir own.

• Follow all directions carefully.• Don't decorate your face with things that

aren't intended for your skin.• If your face paint has a very bad smell,

this could be a sign that it is contaminated.Throw it away and use another one.

• Like soap, some things are OK on yourskin, but not in your eyes. Some face paint orother makeup may say on the label that it isnot for use near the eyes. Believe this, even ifthe label has a picture of people wearing itnear their eyes. Be careful to keep makeupfrom getting into your eyes.

• Even products intended for use nearyour eyes can sometimes irritate your skin ifyou use too much.

• If you're decorating your skin withsomething you've never used before, youmight try a dab of it on your arm for a coupleof days to check for an allergic reaction be-fore you put it on your face. This is smart ifyou tend to have allergies.

Color additivesA big part of Halloween makeup is color.

But this is your skin we're talking about.Think about what you're putting on it.

The law says color additives must be ap-proved by FDA for use in cosmetics, includ-ing color additives in face paints and othercosmetics that may be used around Hal-loween time. It also includes theatricalmakeup.

Plus, the FDA has to decide how they maybe used, based on safety information. A colorthat's OK on your tough fingernails or hairmay not be OK on skin. Colors that are OKfor most of your skin may not be OK nearyour eyes.

How do you know which ones are OK touse, and where? Do some detective work andcheck two places:

The list of ingredients on the label. Lookfor the names of the colors. Then check theSummary of Color Additives on FDA's Website. There's a section especially on colors forcosmetics.

If there's a color in your makeup that isn't

on this list, the company that made it is notobeying the law. Don't use it. Even if it's onthe list, check to see if it has FDA's OK foruse near the eyes. If it doesn't, keep it awayfrom your eyes.

For that ghoulish glowThere are two kinds of "glow" effects you

might get from Halloween-type makeup."fluorescent" and "luminescent." Here's thedifference:

• Fluorescent colors: These are the make-you-blink colors sometimes called "neon" or"day-glow." There are eight fluorescent colorsapproved for cosmetics, and like other colors,there are limits on how they may be used.None of them are allowed for use near theeyes. These are their names: D&C OrangeNo. 5, No. 10, and No. 11; D&C Red No. 21,No. 22, No. 27 and No. 28; and D&C YellowNo. 7.

• Luminescent colors: These colors glow inthe dark. In August 2000, FDA approved lu-minescent zinc sulfide for limited cosmeticuse. It's the only luminescent color approvedfor cosmetic use, and it's not for every dayand not for near your eyes. You can recognizeit by its whitish-yellowish-greenish glow.

When the party's over...Don't go to bed with makeup on. Wearing

it too long might irritate your skin, and bitsof makeup can flake off or smear and get intoyour eyes, not to mention mess up your pil-low.

How you take the stuff off is as importantas how you put it on. Remove it the way thelabel says. If it says to remove it with coldcream, use cold cream. If it says to remove itwith soap and water, use soap and water. If itsays to remove it with eye makeup remover,use eye makeup remover.

You get the picture. The same goes for re-moving glue, like the stuff that holds on fakebeards.

Discover trivia about sweet treats For Halloween candy afficianados,

the sweet stuff is one of the most im-portant parts of the spine chilling sea-son.

If you are interested in a few funfacts about the candy you trick or treatfor each year, read on and discoversome things you probably didn’tknow found at www.mentalfloss.com.

• The most popular candy varies bystate. Candy corn takes the title in Ala-bama, while Swedish fish win in Geor-gia. But Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups,Milky Ways and M&Ms are a few ofthe most consistently popular candieselsewhere.

• In Japan, adults can buy Sake fla-vored Kit Kats.

• The Milky Way bar was inspiredby a malted milkshake, which waspopular in the 1920s.

• The two M’s in M&M stand forMars and Murrie. These are the sur-names of the two businessmen — For-est Mars and Bruce Murrie — Whodeveloped and financed the candycoated chocolates.

• Life Savers got their round shapeafter the candy’s inventor — ClarenceCrane — visited a pharmacy and sawa machine making pills that wereround and flat. The rest is history.

• It takes a licking machine (yes it’sa real thing) anywhere from 364 to 411

licks to reach the center of a TootsiePop. Human lickers, on the otherhand, averaged just 144 to 252 licks.

• Naming the Snickers bar hadnothing to do with laughing at a goodjoke. Franklin Mars, named the barafter a beloved racehorse his familyowned.

• There is such a thing as eating toomuch candy. According to the Ameri-can Chemical Society, eating 262 fun-sized Halloween candy bars wouldpoison a 180-pound person. But don'tworry about death by candy: You'dvomit before you’d be able to downthat many candy bars in one sitting.

• Every day, 64 million Tootsie Rollsare made.

Fort Polk Families sit on a trailer as a tractor takes them on a hayride.


FORT POLK, La. — Bayne-Jones Army Com-munity Hospital’s Drive-Thru Flu Clinic offeredTRICARE Prime — active-duty Soldiers, retireesand Family members a unique way to get immu-nized for the flu by rolling down their windowand rolling up their sleeves Oct. 22.

More than 300 beneficiaries received their flushot.

Although the two-hour event didn’t begin un-til 4:30 p.m., the line of cars stretched fromBJACH’s Entrance B down Third Street. TheBJACH team opened up early getting patientsthrough the clinic to alleviate traffic congestionand decrease wait time.

Car after car, filled with Families and somepets, patiently waited their turn as they navigat-ed the parking lot to the immunization area.BJACH set up three immunization lanes to pro-vide safe, quality care in a speedy fashion.BJACH NCOs, security and team members wereat various points throughout the line to help andanswer questions. ID cards were checked, veri-fied and each flu vaccine recipient completed thepaperwork before reaching the actual immuniza-tion site, as well as being screened by on-siteproviders. After being immunized, cars pulledinto vacant slots to wait 15 minutes to ensure thatno one had reactions to the vaccine before head-ing on their way.

“We appreciate people coming and supportingBJACH as we provide quality medical care tothem and their Families,” said Col. Jody L.Dugai, BJACH commander. “We also appreciatetheir patience, because we want to be a goodstewards of people’s time.”

Three Soldiers from the 3/353rd Infantry Regi-ment, Joint Readiness Training Center Opera-tions Group, who were headed to the field, camethrough the line to get their flu shots.

“We wanted to get our flu shot before we leftfor the field,” said Brittany Jeanice, driver of thecar. “This is great and so easy and convenient.”

The same sentiments were echoed by 1st Lt.Russel Mortinger, 1st Battalion, 509th InfantryRegiment.

“We’re in rotation and I wanted to make surethat my Family got their flu shots,” he said. “Thisis a nice thing for Families; we don’t have tobring the kids into the hospital, and then afterthey get their shots, load them back in the carand head home. It’s almost like an old-fashionedhouse call, but it’s in your car. BJACH is doing agreat job.”

Mortinger got his flu shot first as he attemptedto convince his sons, Ansen, age 6 and Rone, age3 that it didn’t hurt. Rone wasn’t too sure aboutthe “not hurt” aspect as he father held him for hisshot. A few tears flowed, but a couple of stickerseasily dried up those tears and the Family waitedtheir 15 minutes before exiting the parking area.

BJACH’s Drive-Thru Flu Vaccine Clinic was

the idea of Randy Cassels, Patient Centered Med-ical Home supervisory nurse.

BJACH’s efforts to get Fort Polk immunizedfor the flu will continue next week as they give anew twist to Halloween with Boo to the Flu, anindoor Trick-or-Treat with flu vaccines on Tues-day from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Participants are encour-aged to park at Entrance B.
