Happy Veterans Day! Thank You For Your Service.

“Did you enlist or were you drafted?”“Do you get yelled at a lot?”“Have you ever served in a war?”“Why did you join?”“What did your first day in the service feel like?”“Do you get scared sometimes in your job?”These were some of the questions asked by students at Leckie

Elementary School during their Veterans Day special assem-bly held Nov. 9 in the school gymnasium.

Students in 3rd grade through 6th grade attended the as-sembly and Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) president Larissa Camilleri served as the event moderator. The assem-bly included a Veterans Day panel of five Airmen from Joint

Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB), who each explained why they joined the military and what they do for the Air Force.

“This gave the students a broader perspective,” said Camilleri. “Most of them aren’t familiar with the military community and it helps them understand that they are people too.”

Leckie Elementary is JBAB’s Partner in Education. Military kids make up about one-third of the school’s population, and many of them call JBAB home. The Veterans Day panel was an opportunity to expose all of the students to military careers outside of what they see on TV and in movies, as well as clear up any misconceptions the students had about military life.

“Do you get to see your parents?” asked third grader Lyric Johnson.

“We are just like you, or like your parents I should say,” said Air Force Senior Master Sgt. Robert Jones. “We have lives, we have jobs and we have parents. Sometimes they visit us and sometimes we visit them. We have children just like you and we want them to see their grandparents.”

Jones, who lives in Oxon Hill, Maryland, said he volunteered to participate in the panel because he wanted to give back to his local community.

“I live not too far from here,” he said. “This area is near and dear to my heart so I wanted to come show my support.”

This was the first Veterans Day event hosted by the school and Camilleri said she hopes to continue the tradition. She said she already has ideas on how to expand it for next year.

were too nervous to ask their questions during the presentation so they waited to ask them one-on-one.

Imagine sitting in the cold waiting room of your doctor’s office, knowing that the news you’re about to hear is potentially life changing. You’ve lived your life the best way you could, making sure to eat healthy, exercise regular-ly and take your vitamins. You’re within your healthy weight range, and there’s no history of cancer in your family. Cancer doesn’t seem to care though. Naomi Willoughby, a volunteer with the American Cancer Society (ACS) and a breast cancer survivor, lived this nightmare, and she’s come through it with a renewed faith and a resolve to help others in her position.

“I was devastated and yes I cried and I felt hopeless and that my life span and expectan-cy would be cut short,” she said, describing her reaction to the news that she had stage one breast cancer. “Being a woman of faith, the faith kicked in a little bit later. It took me a few minutes to get myself together, but I did. I got angry at God, because I believed myself to be a woman of faith trusting in my God and my Lord and Savior.”

Willoughby did all the right things, and by all accounts was a healthy person with no reason to suspect that she would be in this unfathom-able position. “I try to maintain a healthy diet. I’m in my weight division. I exercise when I can. I thought I was doing everything right to be healthy,” she said. “But as you know, cancer has no respect of persons. It affects black, white, rich, poor, fat, skinny, healthy and not healthy. It just goes about seeking who it can devour. So I was angry because I was thinking I did every-thing right.”

Willoughby’s experiences aren’t entire-ly unique. The ACS estimates that there are about 231,840 new cases of invasive breast cancer already and about 60,290 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be diagnosed (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of

breast cancer) leading to about 40,290 women who will die from breast cancer. The ACS also reports that breast cancer is the second lead-ing cause of cancer death in women, exceeded only by lung cancer, and the chance that breast cancer will be responsible for a woman’s death is about 1 in 36 (about 3 percent).

Janet Grund, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB)’s Health Promotion Coordinator, said mammograms are important as a yearly pre-ventative exam to help catch breast cancer in its early stages and increase the chance of sur-vival.

“Our Disease manager for the 579th Medi-cal Group, Julia Focht, scrubs the list of bene-ficiaries that are higher risk and then requests to set up a mammogram appointment for them throughout the National Capital Region, wherever and whenever is most convenient for them,” she said. “It increases your survival rate by 50 percent if you can get a mammo-gram and detect it early. Also, it decreases the chance that you’ll have to go through chemo-therapy or radiation, and really gives you more options in your recovery.”

The problem is not getting people to sched-ule a mammogram, said Grund, but getting them to keep that appointment and not tie up the radiology sections that offer it with missed appointments. “How do you know if you are at risk really, unless you get a mammogram and make sure,” she said.

For more information on mammograms around the National Capital Region, and to make an appointment with the 579th Medical Group on JBAB, call (888) 999-1212.

“You’re not in this alone. We are here to walk with you. Get your mammogram. Do it for yourself, and do it for your family and all those who love you,” said Willoughby. “There is a calling and a purpose on your life. We need you. Your life matters and you’re very valuable. Get that mammogram, and live life even more abundantly.”

Breast Cancer awareness is a year-round issue

To give military shoppers peace of mind this holiday season, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) is extending its return policy for items purchased between Nov. 1 and Dec. 24.

The Exchange’s standard policy al-lows returns anywhere from up to 15 to 90 days of purchase with a sales

receipt. The holiday return/exchange policy extends these terms through Jan. 31, 2016.

“For service members who are get-ting a jump on holiday shopping, the Exchange’s extended return policy ensures a gift can be returned if it miss-es the mark,” said General Manager Tony Pares. “The Joint Base Anacos-

tia-Bolling Exchange wants to make re-turns as simple as possible for military shoppers.”

Shoppers can also return items pur-chased through shopmyexchange.com at the Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Exchange. For more information about the extended refund policy, shoppers can visit customer service.

Commentary by Michelle L. Gordon

Editor, Joint Base Journal

Keeping my kids out of the street is almost a full-time job when they play outside.

Fortunately I live on a cul-de-sac, which does reduce traffic, but does not eliminate it com-pletely. Cars drive faster than I prefer down our street and more frequently than they should for a circle. But, for the most part, I feel my kids are pretty safe — even in the street. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not advocating play-ing in the street, but kids don’t always listen.

So, when I learned about the speeding concerns on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB), I want-ed to help the residents, specif-ically the parents of young chil-dren who live on Duncan Avenue. Their message is not long, their demands are not many — they simply want drivers to slow down.

As the editor of the Joint Base Journal, I received an email de-scribing the situation last week. The author was looking for more avenues to reach her fellow JBAB drivers. She mentioned that she and other Duncan Avenue resi-dents have been in contact with

both Hunt Housing and JBAB leadership to address the speed-ing issue — and address it they have.

New four-way stop signs will soon be placed at the intersec-tions of Duncan Avenue and Tyndall Street, and Duncan Avenue and Angell Street. New “Slow Children at Play” signs are now up. A crosswalk was recent-ly added to safely allow Dun-can families to cross from their homes to the sidewalk on the other side of the street — the only sidewalk along Duncan Avenue. The speed limit on Duncan Av-enue was reduced from 25 to 20 mph, and JBAB Police increased their patrols to catch violators during peak times.

All of these methods are good indicators that the prime con-cern for both JBAB leadership and Hunt Housing is the safety of their residents, “It is something we take very seriously which is why we are implementing all of these new measures” said JBAB Vice Commander, Air Force Col. Kendall Peters.

Peters also added that Duncan Avenue is unique because it is used by both housing residents and the base populace. As a member of the latter category I

never really thought about it. However, the opening statement of the email I received from the Duncan resident caught my eye, “There is a small community of houses that reside on Duncan Avenue. Many drive by not pay-ing too much attention. Some probably don’t even notice the five duplexes that hide behind the large trees, but we are here. We call this home.”

It wasn’t angry, or hateful, or even disgruntled. It was simply a reminder that while Duncan Avenue may be the quickest route to your office or a great shortcut to bypass traffic on Chappie James Boulevard, it is also where kids ride bikes with-out training wheels for the first time. It is where new scooters get a spin around the neighborhood. It is where footballs get tossed around in the front yard and then bounce into the street on an incomplete pass. It is where moms and dads push strollers, pull wagons and take walks as a family. It is, for the most part, a neighborhood street.

We’re all busy, and no doubt late for something, but speeding is never the answer to lateness. Please respect the posted speed limit on Duncan Avenue and if possible, use Chappie James Boulevard instead. At 30 mph, the speed limit is faster there anyway.

Naval District Washington Fire and Emergency Services (NDW F&ES) took part in an evacuation exercise on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) on Nov. 5 to simulate the rescue of an injured construction worker in a pos-sible confined space.

The mock drill rescue was conduct-ed per an agreement between District of Columbia Water and Sewer Author-ity (DC Water) and NDW F&ES as re-quired by a construction contract for DC Water’s Clean Rivers Project.

The Clean Rivers Project is a long-term program with the goal of mini-

mizing sewer overflow into the Ana-costia and Potomac Rivers and Rock Creek. Currently, waste overflows into area rivers when there are heavy rainfalls. Part of the tunnel infrastruc-ture that funnels the waste resides below JBAB.

The drill was a proactive measure to ensure safety at the construction site. Corman Construction Com-pany has been contracted by DC Water to expand the tunnels under JBAB that capture the waste. Ac-cording to Justin Brown, safety en-gineer, another company is building

a shaft 50-feet in diameter on JBAB. “We are going to build a diversion structure to divert the excess flows into the shaft,” said Brown.

While NDW F&ES was responsi-ble for conducting the exercise, the two construction crews of 30 workers were required to observe the evacua-tion drill. “We’re working in confined spaces and if somebody was to lose consciousness, we want to make sure everybody is familiar with the rescue procedures,” said Richard Barnes, safe-ty engineer for Corman Construction.

“We don’t have a lot of calls for con-

fined space,” said NDW F&ES District Fire Chief Jeff Williams. “Our team is ready [and] we have the equipment to do what we need to do. It’s a good training environment and we are go-ing to take advantage of it.”

Seventeen fire and emergency per-sonnel were onsite for the exercise to include JBAB, the Washington Navy Yard and the Naval Research Lab. With a rescue dummy in place at the construction to represent an inca-pacitated worker, the first responders began to lower a metered white hose where the faux victim laid.

“The meter will pull up the air to me-ter the environment ... is to make sure there is enough oxygen, [and] make sure there is no carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide down there,” said Wil-liams. “It is measuring for hydrogen sulfide, which is an explosive gas, es-pecially with piping and sewers.”

According to the District Fire Chief, the meter also tests for what he calls explosive limits. “If there is anything down there that is explosive, any type of vapor or gas, it’ll pick it up and give us a reading,” said Williams. “If we get that, then, of course, we stop and make sure our people are properly geared up. Do a little bit of research because we have our hazmat unit here and then determine what [is] our plan of action.”

If it is a dangerous environment, the rescuers can use fans to blow fresh air

in to rid the area of contamination. If all the readings are good and there is nothing flammable they will lower a ladder to the incident site and send a member of the fire and EMS team down to determine if it is a victim or a body recovery. If it is a body recovery the pace is slower, but they are still concerned with getting them out. If it is a victim, they will attend to the victim, check for and tend to injuries, and get them out as quickly as possible.

In this drill scenario, the readings were clear and rescuers used the ae-rial device of the firetruck ladder as an anchoring point to the hoist the vic-tim up in a Stokes Rescue Basket. The end result was a technical rope rescue with several key players on hand to ensure its success.

The safety officer monitored the health and safety of the all personnel at the incident scene. The “rescue”, the person in the hole, tended to the vic-tim and administered medical care. The rigging captain was responsible for making sure that equipment was anchored properly. The air monitor keeps abreast of the environmental conditions as reported by the meter. In addition, there was a host of per-sonnel to pitch in where and when needed.

“We don’t have a lot of opportu-nities for confined space rescues … and that’s a good thing,” said Williams. “This was a good training exercise.”

The Air Force Honor Guard and Navy Ceremo-nial Guard have partnered again for a 2nd Annual 5k Run. This year the event is called Turkey Trot and it’s coming to Joint Base Ana-costia-Bolling (JBAB).

For the cost of a canned good, or any non-perish-able food item, you can earn a t-shirt, possibly win a tur-key, and feed families in the Washington, D.C. area — all while getting some light ex-ercise.

Last year’s race took place at Joint Base Andrews. Race coordinator Staff Sgt. Law-rence Rajab, a member of the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard (Pallbearer Flight), handed the reigns for this year’s race to Tech. Sgt. Maurice Chaney, a fellow U.S. Air Force Honor Guard member.

Chaney is the non-com-missioned officer in charge of Drill. He had different plans in mind for the race location. “I want to hold it here, on this base,” said Chaney. “I want to get ev-erybody else involved, the other communities, the

Navy community, the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agen-cy) community and the ci-vilians on base.”

The first race race didn’t have a formal name. Chaney settled on “Turkey Trot” based on previous races that he had done while sta-tioned abroad. The Aerobic Center normally does a 5k, but agreed to partner with Chaney to do this one.

With roughly 150 race participants, 4,500 pounds of food donations were col-lected. The Honor Guard and Ceremonial Guard packaged meals and deliv-ered them to the Capital

Area Food Bank in Virginia, and then to two separate Boys and Girls Clubs in Maryland and Washington, D.C.

Chaney‘s goal for this year is to collect at least 5,000 pounds of food con-tributions. That target is al-ready within reach, with the nearly 2,000 collected and standing by for distribution. All donations are stored in the “H” — the center of the Honor Guard campus.

The first two participants in the race to cross the fin-ish line will each win a tur-key, while still helping fam-ilies in need through their

own donation and partici-pation.

The race is schedule for Friday, Nov. 20 and starts at 7 a.m. in front of the aerobic

center. No pre-registration is required. Food donations are not mandatory for par-ticipation, but are strongly encouraged.

The Chaplain’s Religious Enrichment Development Operations (CREDO) offers a variety of programs aimed at improving communication, adding resiliency, and training service members in valuable life skills.

Marriage Enrichment Retreat (MER) — Couples enjoy a free weekend at the Hilton Hotel in Crystal City, Virginia, where they learn and apply marriage skills such as communication and problem solving in a fun, small group atmosphere. Using personality inventories, participants learn that differences in marriages can be ways to enhance and complete one another in the marriage journey. The next MER is scheduled for Nov. 20-22.

Personal Resiliency Retreat (PRR) — The PRR highlights the essential components of hind-sight, insight, and foresight in order to equip military personnel to accomplish the mission. Over-all, the goal of a PRR is to give participants an opportunity to grow and mature as individuals by reflecting on their lives. The next PRR is scheduled for Dec. 4-6

All retreats are free including room and meals.They are open to all active duty and reserve military members and their dependents. For pre-registration call 202-404-8830/8831.

perfect one as he limped away with a 2-4 record for the week putting him back in sole possession of last place. Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) Commander, Navy Capt. Frank Mays, continued on his near robotic streak, putting up a consistent 4-2 record and maintaining his overall lead. This week’s games should be another close matchup as the commanders vie for the lead. Follow along with the action on our Facebook page, www.face-book.com/jbabdc, and make sure you cheer on our guest picker for the week!
