U.S. Army Training Center and Fort Jackson Commander Brig. Gen. Milford “Beags” Beagle, Jr. hosted a housing town hall Dec. 4 along with the Fort Jackson Housing Division and Balfour Beatty staff to address resident’s concerns and issues. Residents had a chance to raise their concerns and have their voices heard by top personnel and staff.

“The thing I am most comfortable about is our communication,” Beagle said. “Whether it’s good, bad or indifferent. We want everyone to have an equal opportunity to speak and speak for your issues.”

Beagle said feedback was the best result of the quarterly town hall meetings. He said feedback, comment cards and personal contact with residents offers installation leadership the best look into the issues and

concerns residents have and creates the opportunity to address those issues and concerns to make strides in improving and resolving them.

“We are in a position where we are going to pursue perfection,” Beagle said. “It’s never going to be perfect, but we are going to pursue it and that pursuit is never going to stop.”

Roughly 30 Soldiers, civilians, retirees and their Families attended the hour long town hall held at Victory Hall. While the number of in-person attendees may have seemed small, the meeting was live streamed through the Fort Jackson Housing Division’s Facebook page so residents unable to attend could still listen in and voice their con-cerns. Each Facebook comment was delivered to the commander and panel by a moderator to be discussed in real time for virtual attendees.

Next to address the attendees was Garrison Commander Col. John “Wes” Hankins. Hankins spoke about items of concern that have been addressed since the last quarterly housing town hall that included: se-curing approval to spend $5 million dollars on housing repairs and improvements; collecting data based on residents’ concerns of speed-ing in housing areas; replacing the current landscaping contractor; and launching the second Army housing survey to residents satisfaction improvements since the last survey in April of this year.

‘I became a soldier ...’

SGT. MYESHIA GIBBONS, 29Sylvainia, Georgia

“I wanted a purpose in life and I wanted my Family to be proud. I come from a very poor Family. We didn’t have money for college. I had scholarships but I wanted something bigger and I wanted my mom to be proud of me. What better way than to serve your country?”

“I think the biggest challenge (of my career) has been change and the time I spend away from my Family.”

“My MOS is 36B – Financial Management Techni-cian. I chose this MOS because I was never taught �� '��*��because I realized how important it is to know how to budget, money management and the value of a dollar.”

“I am looking forward to growing and teaching Sol-diers coming up behind me the value of being in the military. It took me a while to know I really love this.”

MAJ. MATTHEW KILEY, 39Indianapolis

“I enlisted right after Sept. 11 and have been in since. I had a sense of duty and patriotism. I felt like I had to do something and join. I am ��"��Family to join the military.”

“It’s hard to really prepare for the time away from Fam-ily. Over the years I have mobilized and deployed numerous times and no mat-ter how well you prepare mentally, it’s still hard being away from home.”

“We have been able to obtain $5 million from our reinvestment account that we are going to be able to reinvest in our community,” Hankins said.

Hankins continued explaining the funds to be reinvested would help re-place 105 roofs, repair 50 drainage outlets, replace 43 patio doors, demolish

30 sheds, clean 17 storm water inlets to prevent sewer backup during rain storms and improve the parking area on Phillips Court.

After covering feedback from previous town halls ��*�� virtually, to address any continuing concerns. The pan-el was available to answer questions and take notes of concerns and issues to follow up with residents in the following week.

As the town hall came to a close, those who were not comfortable addressing any concerns publicly were invited to speak with panel members personally after the town hall concluded.

“We don’t know what we don’t know,” Beagle said as he expressed the need for residents to attend future town halls and complete customer satisfaction surveys.

He also encouraged the leadership of Fort Jackson Soldiers to attend the town halls to help advocate for their unit members who are unable to attend the meet-ings due to training schedules. He asked all leadership teams to share the information from the meetings with their Soldiers and to communicate any of their con-cerns or issues during future town hall meetings with-leadership.

“If we don’t have the voices below speaking, we need a voice to speak for those voices and continue to carry that message forward.” Beagle said. “Spread the

word. Let them know what’s occurring.”To contact the Fort Jackson Housing Division, call 751-9343. To reach the

Belfour Beatty Community Manager, call 738-8275 or the Project Manager at 790-7913.

IF WE DON’T HAVE THE VOICES BELOW SPEAKING, WE NEED A VOICE TO SPEAK FOR THOSE VOICES AND CONTINUE TO CARRY THAT MESSAGE FORWARD.

Ann Garner, director of Public Works, speaks about how Fort Jackson is aiming to improve on-post housing. Garner also highlighted the processes by which housing residents can ensure their questions and concerns can be heard.

The tent containing mounds of synthetic snow seemed to draw the largest crowd as children threw snowballs at each other and waved their arms and legs as they created snow an-gels. While the snow may have been synthetic, it acted like real snow minus the cold.

The Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recre-ation made the tree lighting ceremony possible with months of preparation and a staff of volunteers to help make the event a success. DFMWR staff arranged the evening’s entertainment

provided by the Ukulele Choir from C.C. Pinckney Elementary School, 282nd Army Band and Child Develop-ment Center Children’s Choir. Trainees getting ready to start Victory Block Leave also helped ensure the event was a success through their work setting up tents, chairs and bounce castles.

“We are setting up and taking down the event today,” said Pvt. Andrew Es-trada, a 20-year-old trainee assigned to the 120th Adjutant General Battalion (Reception). “It was fun.”

Estrada said he and his team of nine spent the whole day setting up for the ceremony and that helping set up the event got him in the holiday spirit and increased his anticipation of Victory

Block Leave. He said he will travel to Ohio to spend the holi-days with his Family and friends. “I’m looking forward to be-ing home and playing with my dog again,” he said.

Estrada wasn’t the only one to get into the holiday spirit �� X�� -lies laughed and spent time together with fellow Families and friends creating reindeer antler hats and Santa beards made of ��

After the tree lighting, the attendees were invited to ride ��

“It’s a wagon ride a little over a half mile through lights,” said Rose Ann Turner, operations division chief for DFMWR. “Our theme is patriotic. So far over 1,000 have been through it.”

Turner said that several agencies such as the Directorate of Public Works, Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers and teams of volunteers and DFMWR staff helped complete the light display in time for the holiday season.

Visitors rode through the light display that featured glowing �� #�� *��4�� -riers and the Statue of Liberty.

Turner said that the tree lighting ceremony and Liberty Lights display will return in 2020 and planning is happening now to make the next event bigger.
