By JOSIE CARLSONFort Jackson Leader

Every year on Memorial Day people find different ways to celebrate and honor the lives of those who made the ulti-mate sacrifice for their country.

For roughly 66 cadre of 165th Infantry Brigade, this year’s Memorial Day called for a workout known as the Murph.

“Many people were excited to participate in the Murph workout, being that it was something different from the routine of our normal training schedule,” said Capt. Justin T. Leugers, as-sistant S-3 for the 165th In-fantry Brigade. “Our plan-ning team went above and beyond to have a DJ, 30-foot American flag as well as the Fort Jackson Police Department and Fire De-partment at the site to start the event with their sirens.”

Named for Lt. Michael P. Murphy, a Navy SEAL killed in action in 2005 and was awarded the Medal of Honor, the Murph workout consists of a 1-mile run, fol-lowed by 100 pull-ups, 200 pushups, and 300 squats. At the end is another 1-mile run.

William Campbell knows a lot about tanks. He has volun-teered with museums on Fort Jackson and most recently the South Carolina National Guard Museum where he helped re-store tracked vehicles. His volunteer work would bring him in close contact with the tanks outside the Basic Combat Training Museum on post.

It wasn’t until a chance encounter with a particular tank brought back a flood of memo-ries to Campbell. A M41A1 tank looked familiar, Campbell said after he noticed the vehicle following Fort Jackson’s Me-morial Day Ceremony at Cen-tennial Park. The park is located directly across the street from museum.

The M41, christened the “Walker Bulldog” after Gen. Walton Walker, was a light tank used in reconnaissance mis-sions, but never saw combat with U.S. forces. Not only were they the same numbers, it was actually the same tank he served in – Vehicle 11, Headquarters, Services Company, 208th Tank Battalion, in the 27th Armored Division of the New York National Guard.

It was “shock” for Campbell to see it he said. “I said no, it’s normally just any 41 they brought in and put and a number on it.” He went and checked with Henry Howe, the BCT Museum curator, “and he said, no that’s on the paperwork when they brought the thing in here.”

“I said this is my old beast in 1955,” Campbell said. “I joined the National Guard in February 1955 and this tank

I was assigned to Headquarters Service 11 in 1955,” Campbell said.

Howe said the museum acquires “our vehicle (macro arti-facts) through the Tank and Automotive Command. On occa-sion, we can receive them through the Center of Military His-tory. Normally, those are the older vehicles.” And with some of the artifacts paperwork backs up the lineage.

The M41 sits near a UH-1 helicopter that is painted like it was during its service in the Vietnam War.

THE PROGRAM WILL PROVIDE A VENUE FOR MENTORSHIP, FELLOWSHIP AND HOPEFULLY A PLACE WHERE WOMEN FEEL THEY TRULY BELONG.

Female mentorship program begins at Fort JacksonBy VERAN HILL Fort Jackson Public Affairs

Female Soldiers met at post headquarters to kick off Fort Jackson’s chapter of the Female Mentoring and Morale Program June 8. The pro-gram provides female Soldiers a safe place to ad-dress personal and professional issues that occur while serving in the Army.

The meeting began with Fort Jackson Com-mander Brig. Gen. Milford H. “Beags” Beagle, Jr., thanking the Soldiers for their effort and time to start FMMP on post.

“Giving up your time is an effort to plant a seed for somebody else and I think this is going to make things much better, even with some of the challenges we’re having across our Army,” Beagle said.

“The program will provide a venue for men-torship, fellowship and hopefully a place where women feel they truly belong,” said Col. Tara Hall, Moncrief Army Health Clinic commander.

As a junior officer, married with two children,

Hall had a difficult time finding a female mentor she could relate to; finally, during a critical time in her career, she found a female mentor who en-couraged her to remain on active duty, Hall said.

The FMMP provides personal and profes-sional development to all female commissioned, noncommissioned and warrant officers. The pro-gram aims to strengthen the Army by coaching, mentoring, and providing network sessions for female Soldiers.

“We will offer more than just mentoring, we will offer morale building events,” said Lt. Col. Lynette Jones, president of Fort Jackson’s FMMP and deputy chief of staff, Army Reserve for Fort Jackson.

“Any female mentorship and morale program is critical for female Soldiers to seek guidance from peers and all levels of leadership,” said Col. Renee MacDonald, deputy chief of staff, Army National Guard for Fort Jackson.

The FMMP establishes a network to ask ques-tions, share ideas, communicate and resolve any challenges within the workplace, and it provides

a place for Soldiers to motivate each other and share stories about their careers, MacDonald said.

Jones said, “In general the military is a map and in order to successfully navigate this map you need a compass.”

Female Soldiers here at Fort Jackson need to know that the FMMP is available and it will pro-vide that compass for those who need to navigate through everyday Army life. The FJ chapter is in its early stages of development and the aim is to have a trusted agent who has volunteered, been vetted and is willing to serve as a mentor, Jones said.

“The mentor will be chosen by the female Soldier who is seeking the mentoring session be-cause I believe a Soldier should choose their own mentor and the mentor should not choose them,” Jones said.

The FMMP is targeted for female Soldiers; however, the FJ chapter will have events that are open for all to attend. The program is not aimed to create an “us vs. them” organization, but a pro-gram to foster understanding for all.

2nd Battalion,13th Infantry Regiment‘why i serve’

PVT. TAWRENCE GRIFFIN, 20 Dallas

“My grandfather served and I’ve known since I was 11 years old that I would join the Army and be like him. I have many Family mem-bers who have served in the Army.”

“Basic Combat Training is exactly what I imagined. I got out of my comfort zone and became a better person.”

“The most challenging things about BCT were be-ing away from my Family and not being able to eat or do what I wanted.”

“My MOS is 42A - Human Resources Specialist. I chose this MOS because I know I’ll be able to find a career outside the military.”

PVT. SYLER PRICE, 19 Chandler, Arizona

“My father was my big-gest influence for joining the Army. Although he was in the Marine Corps, I know it would make him proud. I joined to better myself and because I love my country.”

“I didn’t know what to expect of Basic Combat Training.”

“The most challenging part of Basic Combat Train-ing was being away from Family.”

“My MOS is 12N - Horizontal Construction En-gineer. I chose this MOS because as a reservist it transitioned into my goals and civilian life the best.”

PVT. EVA JASMINE AMBRIZ, 29 Bakersfield, California

“I have a lot of friends and Family members who have served in the military and their experience is what in-spired me to join. It’s some-thing I’ve always wanted to do and experience.”

“Due to COVID-19, I didn’t know what to expect of Basic Combat Training. I knew things would be a little different and challenging.”

“During BCT, I found it challenging to be in an all female platoon, and trying to learn and retain so much information.”

“My MOS is 68J - Medical Logistic Specialist. I chose this MOS because I want to continue to pur-sue a career in the medical field.”

PVT. ANDREA ZAYEK, 19 Joliet, Illinois

“My Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps in-structors were the people who influenced me into joining the Army. I loved the environment I was in during JROTC and wanted to learn a multitude of new life skills for future jobs.”

“I imagined Basic Com-bat Training to be much worse than it was. My fear was because I wasn’t the most physically fit before coming.”

“The most challenging things about BCT were the Jacob’s Ladder during the obstacle course and the Forge’s 10 mile ruck march. They were both mentally challenging.”

My MOS is 25N - Nodal Network Systems Opera-tor. I chose this MOS because I can use the learned skills in the civilian world.”

SPC. SARAH McLAIN, 30 Suffolk, Virgina

“My father was in the Navy for 24 years and he heavily influenced my decision to join the military. Joining the Army will better my future.”

“I imagined Basic Com-bat Training to be difficult and knew I would learn new skills.”

“Working together as a team and focusing on attention-to-detail were challenging things during BCT.”

“My MOS is 25S – Satellite Communications Systems Operator/Maintainer. I chose this MOS because it transitions well into the civilian world.”

PFC. GRIFFIN STUART, 19Des Moines, Iowa

“Among the many reasons to joining the Army, the life skills and job training it pro-vides influenced me the most. Having the ability to gain leadership and occupational skills that translate to the civil-ian workforce was something that I could not pass up.”

“I imagined Basic Combat Training to be extremely physical, demanding, and requiring me to push myself past my limits. It was also mentally and emotionally challenging.”

“The most challenging thing about BCT was finding the strength and discipline everyday to give 100% in everything I did, whether big or small.”

“My MOS is 13B – Cannon Crewmember. I chose this MOS because I wanted an occupation that would be both challenging and rewarding.”

Soldiers will soon shoulder the responsi-bilities of noncommissioned officers earlier in their careers, following a new Army directive that will promote all junior enlisted members to the rank of corporal prior to making ser-geant.

Beginning July 1, all Soldiers with the rank of specialist who have been recommend-ed for advancement by a promotion board and

completed the Basic Leader Course, or BLC, will be laterally promoted to corporal, a junior NCO.

Soldiers who currently hold the corporal rank must qualify for the promotion board and graduate from BLC to remain corporals, or they will be laterally assigned back to the grade of specialist.

Further, Soldiers who meet the require-ments will wear the corporal rank regardless of the designated grade of their assigned duty positions as they make the transition to the

NCO corps.Soldiers will not receive additional pay

when making corporal, nor will they lose any of their base salary if they transition back to specialist, said Sgt. Maj. Kenyatta Gaskins, Directorate of Military Personnel Manage-ment sergeant major.

The directive will apply to active-duty Soldiers and Active Guard/Reserve members. The instruction will apply to the Army Re-serve starting Oct. 1.

“We want to get after leading, teaching and

mentoring our junior enlisted Soldiers early,” Gaskins said. “This is a junior leader develop-ment process and that’s how we’re looking at this.”

In the past, the Army selected Soldiers with leadership potential to higher graded positions to become corporals. Now Soldiers who have been recommended for promotion to sergeant and completed the required train-ing will have that distinction.

By ROBERT TIMMONSFort Jackson Public Affairs

Before Fort Jackson’s commander Brig. Gen. Milford H. “Beags” Beagle Jr passes on the reins of Fort Jackson in his change of command ceremony June 18, he sat down and discussed his tenure here with the Fort Jackson Leader staff.

Q. How would you characterize your time here as commanding general?

A. If I had to summarize it in one word, or a couple of words, it would be gratifying. Gratifying in the sense of, you know, you get to come and command an or-ganization in your own state and being an installation commander and the CG of the Army Training Center. You are in charge of, I think, the best mission in the Army – training Soldiers for the Army.

Q. Who or what would you credit for making your tenure here successful?

A. “I would have to give credit to the whole team. That sounds like a lot of people but it has been the entire team. If you look back at what we’ve done col-lectively, in my three years here, that wasn’t only a

person on the staff, I mean, that was everybody really coming together as a team. The hardest thing on an installation like this, because we are not a numbered division, is that sense of team cohesion. This is all for Fort Jackson.

“I don’t care who you work for, or what reporting chain you’ve got, we are all in the same house – one team. I’ve used that mantra consistently. So the things that we’ve won, the accolades we’ve received when people come to see Fort Jackson … they see all of this for Fort Jackson. And I think we have all coalesced very nicely around who we are as an installation.”

Q. What has been your fondest memory as Commanding General?

A. “I think the thing I still enjoy every day is being able to come out of my house, whether it be late in the evening or early in the morning, and you hear the voices of Soldiers. You’re not going to get that every-where. You can go to any other place, you can prob-ably hear firing ranges or a weapon system firing, but just to hear voices in the distance; that refreshes you. It reminds you what your purpose is, just by listening.”

Q. As you go into a tactical unit, what type of mental changes do you have to prepare for?

A. “Just a mindset, a mind change related to the mission because here we’re regenerating (the force) and now I will be going back to operating. It’s really a luxury to see or receive and be on the receiving end of what you produced for the past three years, and now you’ve got to fully complete the transformation in the Soldiers. But being on the other end of what we started, the operating force completes. So now I’ve sat on both sides of it – generating and then being on the receiving end. Now you have to complete that process of transforming civilians completely into Sol-diers. And that’s the biggest mindset adjustment that I’ll have to make. “

Q. How would you say your time as Fort Jack-son’s commander compares to the other assign-ments you’ve had in your career?

A. “It’s hard to compare it. But again, it is very, very gratifying in the sense of what I’ve been able to do, what I get to do every day; the outreach with the com-munity; and the internal outreach across the entire installation. That’s something that up until this point in my career you don’t experience unless you are the senior commander or commanding general.

I WOULD WANT MY LEGACY TO BE SIMPLY THAT I CARE.

AROUND THE ARMY

PinContinued from Page 9

Gaskins said that the length of time a Sol-dier spends as a corporal will vary but each Soldier will be expected to wear the rank for a period of time before transitioning to ser-geant.

“This is a change in culture,” said Gaskins, who held the rank of corporal earlier in his career. “This is not something we’re used to.”

The change coincides with the Army’s

plans to invest more in the leadership devel-opment of younger Soldiers, supporting Sgt. Maj. of the Army Michael A. Grinston’s “This is My Squad” initiative. That effort includes a push to further strengthen the Army’s junior NCO corps, and will instill more than just leadership skills.

Promotion boards to sergeant and staff sergeant include situational-based questions on sexual harassment, misuse of drugs and alcohol and suicide prevention. Soldiers will also be quizzed on suicide prevention, physi-cal fitness, and mental health to gauge their reaction to such incidents and to make sure they can care for Soldiers in those situations.

Hurricane Season is here! Are you prepared?NEWS

Leader Staff Reports

The 2021 Hurricane Season began June 1 and ends on Nov. 30. During this time South Carolina, due to its geographical location, is vulnerable to hurricanes, tropical storms and other related weather disturbances. The Fort Jackson Protection Division encourages the community to plan for natural disasters.

The National Oceanic and Atmo-spheric Administration, known as NOAA, predicts there will be from 13 to 20 named storms (winds greater than 39 mph or higher), of which six to 10 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including three to five major hurricanes (Category 3, 4, or 5 with winds of 111 mph or higher) is expected.

Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Water-bury, Fort Jackson’s interim emergen-cy manager, cautions the community to prepare for events that may take place such as blackouts/power losses, floods, traffic jams, property loss and even displacement due to damages to the home.

“We cannot affect a natural disas-ter, like a tropical storm or hurricane, from happening,” he said. “But we can equip yourself with knowledge and prepare our circle of influence in advance for any catastrophe that might occur.”

To properly prepare for hurri-cane season items like food, water, medications, clothes, tools, fuel, etc. should to be gathered and stored so they can be reached when needed. An assessment of capabilities should be conducted, these questions may aid in determining your state of readiness:

1. How will you know if a storm or hurricane is approaching Fort Jack-son? How will your Family be noti-fied?

2. Are your personal, vehicle and home kits equipped and accessible? Do you know how to use your equip-ment? How about your Family?

3. Are all your important docu-ments stored in a safe location? Can your Family reach them if needed?

4. Is your vehicle well maintained in case you have to evacuate?

5. If you have to evacuate, where

will you go?6. Do you have emergency funds

put aside? Can your family access them?

7. Have your medications and those of your loved ones replenished?

8. What will you do with your pets?

These questions are critical, an-swering them honestly will give you a clear understanding of how prepared you are and what areas need to be im-proved. Remember, readiness equals survival.

Recommended Items to Include in a Basic Emergency Supply Kit:n Water and non-perishable food for one

weekn Extra cell phone battery or chargern Battery-powered or hand crank radio that

can receive NOAA Weather Radio tone alerts and extra batteriesn Flashlight n Extra batteriesn First aid kitn Whistle (to signal for help)n Face mask (to help filter contaminated air) n Plastic sheeting and duct tape (to shelter-

in-place)n Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic

ties (for personal sanitation)n Basic Tool Kit (Non-spark wrench, pliers,

screw driver, etc)n Manual can opener (if kit contains canned

food)n Local mapsn Cell phone with chargers and a backup bat-

tery

Additional Items to Consider Adding to an Emergency Supply Kit:n Prescription medications and glassesn Non-prescription medications such as pain

relievers, anti-diarrhea medication, antacids or laxativesn Infant formula, bottles, diapers, wipes and

diaper rash creamn Pet food, water and supplies for your petn Important family documents such as copies

of insurance policies, identification and bank ac-count records in a portable waterproof containern Cash and change or Traveler’s checksn Emergency reference material such as a

first aid book

n Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each per-son.n Complete change of clothing appropriate

for your climate and sturdy shoesn Fire Extinguishern Matches in a waterproof containern Feminine supplies, personal hygiene items

and hand sanitizern Mess kits, Paper cups, plates and dispos-

able utensils, paper towelsn Paper and penciln Books, games, puzzles or other activities

for children

Maintaining Your KitAfter assembling your kit remember to main-

tain it so it is ready when needed:n Keep canned food in a cool, dry place.n Store boxed food in tightly closed plastic or

metal containers.n Replace expired items as needed.n Re-think your needs every year and update

your kit, as your family’s needs change.

Kit Storage LocationsSince you do not know where you will be

when an emergency occurs, prepare supplies for home, work and cars.n Home: Keep this kit in a designated place

and have it ready in case you have to leave your home quickly. Make sure all family members know where the kit is kept.n Work: Be prepared to shelter at work for

at least 24 hours. Your work kit should include food, water and other necessities like medicines, as well as comfortable walking shoes, stored in a “grab and go” case.n Car: In case you are stranded, keep a kit of

emergency supplies in your car.Source: www.ready.gov

This is the third time a student from the school has received that honor.

Pinckney student named Speech AmbassadorBy ROBERT TIMMONSFort Jackson Public Affairs

C.C. Pinckney Elementary School’s Noah Bumgardner was named the 2021 South Carolina Speech Hearing Asso-ciation’s Student Ambassador award.

This is the third time a C.C. Pinckney Elementary School student has received the honor.

“It shows me that Fort Jackson students have it going on,” said Kerrie Ammons, Speech Language Pathologist for C.C. Pinckney. “The parents on the installation do everything that

they can to make sure their children are successful not only in academics, but in speech and language as well.”

Ammons nominated Bumgardner because he “shows per-severance and hard work,” she said. “It’s important that he also likes to talk about his progress and share his good speech and language skills with his peers.”

Noah through this therapy “has shown a desire to improve and an excitement to share his progress with others and an overall picture of resilience,” Ammons said.

Noah’s mother Sgt. Maj. Darla Bumgardner with the Army Training Center said it is a “godsend” to be on Fort Jackson

and for her son to be at the school because “the teachers and Dr. Ammons even through COVID have just been wonder-ful.”

“These teachers and the inclusion of the students, the way they allow him to interact with everybody and the way they encourage him has been absolutely phenomenal,” Darla said.

The school has helped Noah gain confidence and it shows in the excitement he has to learn.

“He’s always had difficulty with speech, but with Dr. Am-mons and her team ... he’s just so excited to learn,” Darla said. “He was excited to be in school.”

TankContinued from Page 5

“In the 20-years I have been with the museum, this is the second time someone has recognized a specific vehicle they have operated or flew,” Howe said. “The other time was the UH-1 Huey Helicop-ter.”

The last time Campbell remembers seeing the tank was when he drove it during an Armed Forces Day parade in downtown Syracuse, New York. He would see the ve-hicle for years cleaning it up and restoring it before the re-alization set in.

As he and some trainees cleaned it, he “never dreamed that was my old tank.”

Seeing the vehicle’s num-bers brought a flood of fond memories, Campbell said.

“He was a very good tank,” he said. “He was loud. He was a gas hog and it was loud. You could hear it com-ing a mile away. But it was fast.”

For Howe helping people remember the past is a part of his mission he cherishes.

“I think an enduring role of any museum is to help people reminisce and recall events of their past,” he said. “In Bill’s case, the M41 was able to connect with his early days in the Army, nearly 70 years ago.”

This M41A1 ‘Walker Bulldog’ light tank from the 27th Armored Division’s (New York National Guard), 208th Tank Battalion sits outside the Basic Combat Training Mu-seum. A veteran recently discov-ered the tank to be the one he crewed in the 1950s.

“What you get to touch and the impact is so great because of the size of the organization. That’s been the biggest difference in this job compared to others.”

Q. How will you remember how the installation handled the COVID-19 pandemic?

A. “We handled it better than anybody. With no doubt, I can say that with a straight face because had the largest population in our training pipeline, and we did not have to stop what we’re doing.

“We brought more things online – programs, services, schools (you name it). We brought all those things back online and never had to take a step back. We just kind of kept go-ing forward. The one thing I said out in the community is that Fort Jackson doesn’t have reverse in our transmission – it’s just drive. It’s been slow and it’s been very deliberate, but we’ve not had to stop and take these big steps backwards. Everything is deliberately falling into place. We’ve just been very methodical and deliberate in doing that, and it’s been phenomenal to watch how we operated throughout COVID.”

Q. How would your legacy to be after you leave? You’re looking back, in let’s say 10 years.

A. “Somebody asked me that question when I first got here, and literally, I keep it on a piece of paper. They said, ‘Sir, you gotta think about what you want your legacy to be,’ and I looked at that for whole year before I decided what it was. Then finally it hit me one day. I said, I would want my legacy to be simply that I care.

“I care not about training, not about emails. I cared about this installation, the people on the installation, what we do, how we do it. My legacy as long as people know it, or how they get a sense of it, was I really cared about this place.”

Q. Is there anything you would like to say to the Fort Jackson community as you’re leaving?

A. To the community at large, thank you to everybody that I won’t get to personally thank face-to-face just for the support and following my vision and the lead that I set. Every com-manding general will move the ball, but in three years I think we moved the ball a long way because we had additional innings, additional time to do it. Everybody kept rolling in the same di-rection. I am very appreciative of that in the fact we continue to change our culture. Just don’t forget what we do in terms of our mission here and what Fort Jackson means to our Army. Some-times I think that gets lost over time.

But you think about the visitors who come here and how many times they’ve come - that’s for a reason. Once everybody saw it, they’re like, ‘Holy Cow, this is one of the best gems in our Army.’ And people just didn’t know. So I wouldn’t want anybody here to forget that fact.”

Q. Is there anything you would like to add?A. We’ve had some bad spots here lately, but if I count back,

we have way more bright spots than we can shake a stick at over time. I am just very thankful for the connection and relation-ship that we’ve gotten with the community.”

Members of the South Carolina Helicopter Aquatic Recue Team responded to a call to rescue a hiker stranded on a moun-tain ledge at Table Rock State Park Jan. 5, 2017.

The hiker was airlifted from the mountain at around 9:25 a.m. after reportedly being stranded for several hours after suffering a fall of approximately 70 feet. The request for assistance came from the Pickens County emergency management authorities.

According to crew reports, the request for support from SC-HART was initiated when rescuers on site realized that use of a helicopter was going to be the most effective means of reaching and extracting the hiker.

“It was key to use a helicopter to rescue the hiker. Due to difficult conditions, the rescuers on the ground couldn’t reach him,” said Chief Warrant Officer 4 Tripp Hutto, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 151st Aviation Regi-ment UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter pilot. “We could see from the air, it looked like the closest they could get to him was about 80 feet.”

After the call for support was received through State Emer-gency Management channels, both the civilian and military components of the SC-HART rescuers were simultaneously ac-tivated.

The South Carolina Army National Guard UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter and crew deployed from McEntire Joint Na-tional Guard Base in Eastover. They picked up a team of rescu-ers from Pickens County at the South Carolina National Guard’s Army Aviation Support Facility 2 in Greenville, prior to moving to Table Rock to conduct the rescue.

Following extraction, the SC-HART helicopter landed near a pre-positioned ambulance on site, where the hiker was released

to Pickens County Emergency Medical Support personnel.“The rescue went smoothly and was conducted without inci-

dent,” said Hutto. “The SC-HART team works well together due to partnerships developed through past training and real world events, including the statewide flooding in 2015. This allowed for a seamless rescue.”
