Career fair to connect military spouses to area employers

A military spouse interacts with potential employers during a previous career fair at Fort Jackson. More then 50 employers will be attending the next Fort Jackson Community Career Fair, scheduled for 9 a.m.-noon, March 14 at the NCO Club.

Fort Jackson Army Community Service Employment Readi-ness Program is committed to helping military spouses in achiev-ing their career goals by connecting them with more than 50 em-ployers at the Fort Jackson Community Career Fair 9 a.m.-noon, March 14 at the NCO Club.

Today’s military spouses are skilled, motivated, have sound work values and strong work ethics – highly valued by Ameri-ca’s top employers. The ERP’s goal is to bridge the gap between talented military spouses and the business community which is looking for a readily available, diverse and talented pool of can-didates.

One of the biggest concerns about job seekers have is that they submit hundreds of on-line resumes, but never receive an �� alled in for an interview.

Career fairs provide individuals face-to-face networking opportunities, giving a job seeker the “biggest bang for their buck”, by being able to meet a large number of employers in a short amount of time and all under one roof.

Joanne B., military spouse, attended a Fort Jackson Career Fair and said that “the employers were so understanding of the military lifestyle and why my resume had several employment gaps. They focused on the skills that I had to offer, not when I was unemployed due to frequent moves. They made me feel like a true professional.”

The ACS Employment Readiness Program understands the need for spouses and how employment not only impacts them

as an individual, but how it contributes to the overall readiness of the military family.

Spouses tells us every day that they need to be able to have their own identity, apart from being a spouse and the military ��"��"� �� '��-tive self-esteem and to be able to contribute to the family in-come. Therefore, being employed is very important to them.

%��z� �� "�� [�-tal role in our military retention. If the spouse is not able to achieve a successful career path when faced with all the mili-tary lifestyle challenges, service members are more apt to get out of the military so their spouse can accomplish their profes-sional goals.

“Career Fairs are a great opportunity to see what companies are in the area, especially as a newly arrived spouse to Fort Jackson like myself”, said Hazel W. “We had just PCS’d from overseas and this was a perfect way to transition back to US workforce.”

She also stated that one recruiter still contacts her regularly when there are employment opportunities that meet her skill set.

For more information on how the Army Community Service Employment Readiness Program can help you meet your em-ployment and education goals please call 803-751-9460/5452. The Fort Jackson Military Community Career Fair is open to all military ID card holders, veterans, Family members, surviving spouses and DOD civilian employees. List of participating em-ployers participating in this event can be view at the ACS ERP website at: https://jackson.armymwr.com/us/jackson/programs/employment-readiness-program.

Throughout Fort Jackson’s 100-year history there has been a series of events that have transformed the post into the premier training installation in the Army. Included in these is the desegregation of basic training and the integra-tion of female Soldiers into basic training platoons.

At Fort Jackson’s penultimate lecture in its centennial series Feb. 10, attendees learned how the post “mixed it up” from author and scholar Dr. Andrew Myers, and the installa-�� z�� "��K�� K��

Since 1917, African-Americans and women have served in various capacities on Fort Jackson but it wasn’t until after President Harry Truman ended military racial segregation with Executive Order No. 9981 that all races trained and served together.

Myers, author of the book “Black, White and Olive Drab,” said integrated training didn’t start immediately. It (��[�� Z�� ̀ ��;��^�� Korean War that forced the integration to step up.

He wrote in his book about the racial integration of Fort Jackson that “the inability to provide basic training for these nearly 10,000 black Soldiers was the crucial factor in decid-ing to mix the races.”

Commanders at all levels helped propel integration in Fort Jackson.

“Leadership from the top helped make integration at Fort

Jackson possible, but it would not have been successful without leadership at the lower echelons as well,” he said.

The effort to integrate men and women into basic train-ing companies began in 1976, but it wasn’t until 1994 that the total integration of Army training was made perma-nent.

C.C. Pinckney Elementary School stu-dents learn how physical activity can rein-force their learning of health in ways older generations could only dream of.

“I remember when I was growing up I formed some really bad eating habits be-cause I believed in the American way of ‘as long as I’m exercising enough I won’t get fat and I can eat anything I want,’” said Darren Seamster, a physical education teacher. “That type of mentality has been formed in a lot of people. If you want to be the best performer you want to be, you have to put the proper fuel in your body.”

C.C. Pinckney Elementary School’s STEM in the Gym event held Feb. 9 brought together students and volunteers from around post to help educate the chil-dren on how to be healthier.

“You pretty much use science, tech-

nology, engineering and math in everyday life,” said Dan Ferreira, physical therapist with C.C. Pinckney Elementary, about the STEM in the Gym event.

Students attending the STEM at the Gym were able to test themselves through physical activities while also learning from a myriad of experts including how to properly brush their teeth from active-duty Army dentists.

#��<�� a parent of a C.C. Pinckney student, said, “I think it’s a great event for the kids to see what’s out there. You know you’ve got various physical activities they can do and it equates to everyday life. They are having fun while learning. That is the biggest posi-tive of this event.”

When Ferreira was growing up he learned about being healthy in school but not the way Pinckney students are being taught.

It’s day zero and the heat at Fort Jack-son in July is sweltering.

A group of new initial entry recruits stand at attention, forming a sea of green in their newly issued OCPs, as they wait ,with anticipation on their tender faces, for ��

As Staff Sgt. Christopher Hudec makes his way over to the newest trainees ready to serve their country, the looks on their faces switches from fear of what’s to come to pure astonishment.

Just two short months ago Hudec had undergone a major surgery.

As he gallops towards the Soldiers on crutches, the place where his left leg is supposed to be is noticeably missing a piece.

When his doctor suggested removing

it, there was no hesitation. The only thing Hudec fears as a Soldier is failing the mis-sion and if his leg was going to slow him down, he didn’t need it.

Hudec meets the gazes of the young Soldiers.

“If you keep staring at it,” he yells. “I’m going to be put it on you,”

Head on collisionIt’s two years later and Hudec’s left

limb now has eight different parts that attach to it. There’s one for everything: swimming, climbing, running, etc.

“There’s all kind of stories about how I lost part of my leg. The drill sergeants will tell the trainees to be careful at a course because that’s how I lost it,” he laughs. “I never lie about what happen. I never pre-tend I lost it on duty.”

South Carolina National Guard units from across the state sent their best Soldiers and Airmen to compete in the annual Best Warrior Competition at McCrady Training Center, Jan. 28-Feb. 1, 2017.

“I’m very proud of you warriors, so let’s get to the point,” said Command Sgt. Maj. Russell Vickery, State Command Sergeant Major for the SCNG, before announcing the win-ners.

Sgt. Jacob Platts and Spc. Jackson Pride are the 2017 Best Warriors for South Carolina National Guard.

Competitors went through urban warfare situa-�� '�� [�(��"�� (�� Z��and warrior tasks and battle drills relevant to today’s opera-tional environment.

“It’s been a great, long weekend,” said Maj. Gen. Rob-ert E. Livingston Jr., Adjutant General for South Carolina. “Tremendous work. CSM, you have taken this event to the Z��[��_�

Every event earned the competitor points and the winners would be named at the awards ceremony at the end. Event coordinators were keeping the tallies out of sight from the competitors so no one knew who was in the lead.

Livingston added, “What does it mean to our overall mission?

USARCENT hosts Facebook town hallBy SGT. VICTOR EVERHART JR.USARCENT Public Affairs

U.S. Army Central hosted a live Face-book Family Town Hall for Soldiers and their families Feb. 2, at Patton Hall, Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina.

Lt. Gen. Michael Garrett, USARCENT commanding general, and Command Sgt. Maj. Eric Dostie, USARCENT command sergeant major, hosted the event. Garrett said the real purpose of the town hall was to “allow the command access to the com-mand team.”

Garret opened the family town hall with comments about the uniqueness of a three-star headquarters being located on an Air Force installation and some of the challeng-es that come with it stating, “It’s not bad, it’s just different and holding these types of events gives us an opportunity to share those thoughts you or your family may be having or those improvements you believe will make a difference.”

K�� ^��with a thank you to all the Soldiers located in the main command post and the Soldiers helping accomplish the USARCENT mis-sion.

In his closing comments Garrett told USARCENT Soldiers that being more pro-active on base and attending town hall meet-

ings with the base commander is going to be huge for incoming personnel stating, “if we make our needs and requirements heard, the

Air Force will do their best to see that we are accommodated to the best of their abil-ity, but it starts with your involvement.”

Q: What role does USARCENT have in shaping the local community?

A: The 20th Fighter Wing is mainly responsible for the relationship with the community, but USARCENT supports the base commander and are good team members. Keeping up with the Shaw Air Force Base web page as well as social media is the best way to see opportunities to put your impact on the community.

Q: The main gym here on base is 24 hours what’s the chances we could get the annex to be 24 hours?

A: There are no plans to make the an-nex 24 hours because of manning at this time, but it is an issue we have heard and are looking into.

Q: The 441 gate closures are con-fusing, they’re based on holidays and school closures is there any way we can get the gate closures standard-ized?

A: In the near future the 441 gate should be open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Q: What will Third Army do if any-thing to commemorate Third Army’s involvement in WWI?

A: We don’t have anything currently planned but we will do something.

Q: With the shift to the new medical facility on Shaw Air Force Base does that include any additional services, doctors, and appointments or make any new treatments available here?

A: No there will be no additional ser-vices rendered, the move is more for con-solidating the surrounding clinics into one building.

Q: Are there any unintended conse-quences of the changes being made at the hospital at Fort Jackson with the rumored shut down?

A: With regard to the hospital being turned into a clinic yes there are some. There will no longer be any inpatient ser-vices because it will be a clinic and not a hospital. That in itself will have a great impact. A lot of the services rendered at the hospital will now be outsourced to the medical network.

Q: Considering the current DA ci-vilian hiring freeze, do you anticipate USARCENT will receive an exception to policy and what risk do you antici-pate by not receiving an exception to policy?

A: We’re realistically looking at four or �#��%�� &��

debt and issues our leadership have deemed important are the reason these things are being done. The mission will get accomplished with what we have but prioritizing our requirements will be huge for us going forward.

Q: What’s the likelihood of us get-ting a mini shoppette or a clothing and sales on our side of the base?

A: There’s a plan in place, but we’re ��&�&�� &�� #� �� from that but it is in the works.

Q: South Carolina is a concealed carry state. What is the policy for con-cealed carry on Shaw Air Force Base?

A: There is no concealed carry allowed on Shaw Air Force Base.

Q: The counselors on Shaw are great but they can’t do anything for Army personnel. Is there a plan in place to bring representation from Fort Jack-son here to help Soldiers with their education questions and processes?

A: It is in the works but the hard part with this is coordinating with all the Sol-diers and ensuring that the information is put out there for them to utilize it. As it stands Soldiers have to go to Fort Jack-son for their education needs.
