ANAD to use Direct Hire Authority155 positions to be filled from time-limited appointments

The ability to use Direct Hire Author-ity was issued to industrial base facilities with the appropriated funds for fiscal year 2017.

Currently, this authority is authorized through the end of FY2018 and Anniston Army Depot is preparing to utilize that authority to hire for 155 positions spread across 25 job series.

“Direct Hire Authority places the recruitment process in management’s hands,” said Vivian Henry, director of the Anniston Civilian Personnel Advisory Center.

During the typical hiring process at ANAD, CPAC assists with developing the job announcement, collecting résu-més, issuing qualifications and making referrals.

Under Direct Hire Authority, man-agement has the ability to collect the ré-sumés, review them, identify those they want to select for the position and then they partner with CPAC to determine if those selected qualify for the position.

Employees currently working at ANAD on time-limited appointments, such as those in temporary or term roles, are eligible to apply for the permanent po-sitions which will be opened in February.

Supervisors throughout the installa-tion who have term and temporary em-ployees will receive recruitment bulletins for each position to distribute to those employees.

Each bulletin will include a unique e-mail address to be used for that specific announcement.

“I urge the term and temp employees who are eligible to apply to begin getting their résumés ready,” said Tommy Carl-isle, the depot’s director of Production.

Carlisle encouraged employees to thoroughly describe in detail the job du-ties they perform in the shops.

“We aren’t looking for a copy and paste of a position description,” he said. “We are looking for what you do on a day-to-day basis on the shop floor.”

Though the job announcements will not go through USAJobs.gov, as most an-

nouncements on the installation do, Carl-isle urged employees to utilize the tools in USAJobs to assist with résumé building.

Additionally, the Direct Hire Author-ity process will not utilize Veterans pref-erence.

Any employees who have questions about the process should contact their im-mediate supervisor.

We have all heard it said that two things in life are certain: death and taxes.

Tax season is upon us again. It rolls around every year on April 15.

“All Federal employees shall satisfy in good faith their obli-gations as citizens, including all just financial obligations, espe-cially those such as federal, state and local taxes.” This is one of the 14 basic principles of Ethical Conduct found in the Joint Eth-ics Regulation applicable to all Department of Defense employ-ees.

Visit www.irs.gov for infor-mation and the forms you may need to file your annual tax re-turns.

Failure to pay your taxes may result in serious consequences, including penalties and interest imposed by the Internal Revenue Service, damage to your credit rating and your ability to borrow money, a tax lien on your real estate and disciplinary action at work.

If the clock runs out and you cannot file your tax returns on time, you may obtain an au-tomatic six-month extension of time to file until Oct. 15.

However, the extension to file your tax return does not ex-tend the time to pay taxes due.

If you obtain an automatic extension, you will owe interest on any amount of taxes due and not paid by April 15, plus a late fee penalty.

To obtain an automatic six-month extension, you must file IRS Form 4868 by the April 15 deadline.

Military service members, military retirees and their de-pendents are entitled to tax as-sistance.

Military members and retir-ees may contact the Redstone Arsenal Tax Center for assis-tance.

Appointments are required for use of this service. Contact 256-842-1040 to schedule an ap-pointment.

Tax assistance is also avail-able to military service mem-bers and retirees at militaryone-source.com.

The Exceptional Family Member Program is a mandatory enrollment program for active duty Soldiers.

The month of January has been designated as the Nation-al Mentoring Month.

Currently, Anniston Army Depot’s Mentoring Program partners with Anniston City Schools, Oxford City Schools and Calhoun County Schools.

Mentoring can be a critical component in young people’s lives, helping them make the decisions that ultimately lead to improved opportunities and connections, which has an im-pact in real life.

In 1995, Anniston Army Depot, along with 13 other Army sites across the United States, was selected to partici-pate in a project called Service to the Nation.

ANAD initiated a mentor-ing program in Calhoun Coun-ty in 1996. Depot volunteers spend one hour per week with a student who has been identi-fied as at risk.

Being at-risk often simply means these students need a friend with some normalcy in their life.

ANAD’s mentoring is a one-on-one relationship through which an adult will

foster the development of character and competence in a young person.

The Mentoring Program currently has 20 volunteers who help make a difference in a child’s life. If you would like to learn more about the depot’s Mentoring Program, contact Marilyn Futrell at 256-741-5266.

Tommy Carlisle was named Anniston Army Depot’s director of Production Jan. 8.

Carlisle, a native and resident of Lincoln, Ala., attended Lin-coln High School, graduating in 1985.

He began his career at ANAD in September 1986 on a tem-porary appointment as a turbine engine mechanic while attending Ayers Tech-nical Institute.

He progressed through the Turbine Engine Shop - earning promotions from WG-5 to WG-8 and WG-10.

In 1988, he accepted a permanent position.

During his career, Carlisle has de-ployed to numerous locations through-out the continental U.S. and overseas, assisting Soldiers with repair and main-tenance activities on-site.

His first deployment was to Southwest Asia in October 1990.Upon his return to ANAD, he transferred from the Turbine

Engine Shop to the Combat Vehicle Repair Facility where he as-sisted in overhaul and repair of M1 Abrams tanks.

There, he gained experience and became a journeyman-level mechanic in 1992.

Carlisle credits his success to the mentorship of other leaders.“I’ve had great leadership throughout my career,” said Carl-

isle. “I’ve worked for some great people.”He served as a supervisor in four divisions within the Direc-

torate of Production: Fielding, Reciprocating Drive Train, Weap-ons and Tracked Systems.

Since 2006, he has served as a division chief in three divi-sions: Logistics Management (Fielding), Reciprocating and Tracked Systems.

Tommy was named the deputy director of Production on July 19, 2010.

“During my time on depot, I’ve worked in production all but 11 months,” he said.

That time was served in a temporary appointment as the dep-uty director of Production Management.

Carlisle has been the recipient of numerous awards during his career, including outstanding duty awards, achievements for exceptional service, commanders’ awards and special acts or ser-vice awards.

As the new director of Production, Carlisle’s top priorities are quality and accountability.

“Accountability and making sure the job is done right are the most important things,” he said. “Employees should take pride and ownership in their processes and jobs. We shouldn’t accept second best. We should always strive to be the best because our goal is to equip the war fighters with quality products.”

Construction is scheduled to begin in mid-February to replace the current bridge on the west side of the installa-tion with one which meets Alabama Department of Transportation standards for heavy traffic.

Bridge work to begin in February

In April 2016, all traffic of more than 26 tons was routed through Eulaton Gate, instead of Annis-ton Army Depot’s main gate.

This was due to an evaluation of the bridge’s load capacity, which determined the bridge had a weight limit of 13 to 27 tons, depending upon the configuration of the vehicle.

In mid-February, work is scheduled to begin to replace the bridge.

The Army Corps of Engineers is coordinating the project, which will construct a new bridge to Alabama Department of Transportation specifica-tions for heavy traffic approximately 10 feet to the west of the existing bridge.

“There should be very little impact to traffic during the project because the new bridge will be in place before the old bridge is demolished,” said Jason Wynn, a civil engineer for the depot.

The first phase of the project involves the move-ment of existing utilities to clear a route for the new bridge and its connecting road segments.

Because the new structure will be near the old, a traffic shift will take place near the end of construc-

tion to enable paving of the new segment of road.A sidewalk is planned along the bridge, which

will connect with the one in place on the south end of the existing structure.

The expected completion date for the bridge is the Summer of 2019.

The current bridge was constructed in 1941, at the time the Anniston Ordnance Depot was being built. It was given to the depot by the state of Ala-bama in 2010.

The load determination for the bridge came as a result of a bi-annual bridge audit, which recom-mended all bridges receive posted load limits.

Due to the age of the bridge, little was known of its construction. The depot contracted with a bridge specialist in early 2016 to determine the load limit.

Mike Mathews, the depot’s director of Public Works, asked employees to drive slowly and use caution during the construction process.

“Anytime you are driving in the area of the con-struction, I would ask you to slow down. Make sure you are driving carefully and being very observant of what is going on around you,” said Mathews. “There will still be large trucks coming in, carrying equipment for the bridge construction and some-times there will be workers near the roadway.”

Anniston Army Depot was recently awarded the U.S. Army Materiel Com-mand Industrial Operations Safety Award for fiscal year 2017.

“This achievement was enabled by in-novative approaches to tackling systemic challenges for Risk Management across the industrial operations and have resulted in several best practices for the TACOM Safety Community, specifically work-force engagement as a key component of a Safety Management System,” said Adam Crafard, director of Safety for the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command. “Anniston’s efforts and grow-ing safety culture have supported some of the most significant reductions for injury rates across TACOM in recent history and that trend has continued through the first quarter of FY18.”

Drew Ramsey, chief of the depot’s Safety Office said the award is a reflection of the increased safety awareness employ-ees throughout the depot have shown.

“This award reflects a culture change we are seeing throughout Anniston Army Depot,” said Ramsey. “Employees have begun to truly take ownership of the safety program and consistently look for ways to improve the operations in their areas with a focus on engineering safety into every process and procedure. I’m proud of all our workforce has accomplished.”Target Zero

The Target Zero program and its com-ponents have been responsible for chang-ing the depot’s safety culture. It is one of the elements which led to this award.

Target Zero, first launched in fiscal year 2013, is principally comprised of an inspection team with members from Safety, Industrial Hygiene, the Director-ate of Risk Management, the Directorate of Emergency Services, the Directorate of Production Engineering and the Director-ate of Public Works.

The focus is a proactive, rather than reactive, safety approach.

Some of the elements of the Target Zero program are:

• Safety Bulletins and Safety GramsANAD Safety Office publishes Safety

Bulletins and Safety Grams and distrib-utes them via all-user e-mails. These pub-lications are also distributed directly to

affected populations as risks and hazards are identified.

• ANAD Safety Go-To-Resource Book

The GTR consolidates safety-related documents in one easily accessible binder.

The 15 tabs include sections such as job hazard analyses, six-minute huddle sheets, permits, inventories, lockout/ta-gout procedures, inspection checklists and ANAD Regulation 385-1, Safety & Occu-pational Health.

• Commander’s Accident Review Board

Now a monthly occurrence, the Acci-dent Review Board was first launched in April 2014.

This review board brings together su-pervisors whose respective cost centers have had recordable injuries.

The depot commander addresses each incident and the Safety Office tracks non-conformances to completion.Reporting

The Safety Intelex Automated Report-ing System, better known as Intelex, came to ANAD in FY17.

Over the course of the year, more than 100 supervisors were trained on Intelex.

Intelex allows ANAD to break down data to expose indicators and additional opportunities beyond the injury rates to include injury demographics, which can assist in identifying the most at-risk popu-lations.

With Intelex, the Safety Office not only captures safety hazards and root causes, but also examines these elements against multiple, previously unseen, variables.

This deeper program analysis allows ANAD to mitigate anecdotal biases and provide results through more effective controls that target the appropriate risks.OSHA Challenge

The Occupational Safety and Health Association’s Challenge has three stages, which guide participants from the ini-tial planning and development process through the implementation of an effective safety and health management program.

ANAD is currently working through Stage I, Assess, Learn and Develop, and expects to complete the OSHA Challenge in early FY19.Safety Monitor Program

In FY17, ANAD’s Safety Office re-en-ergized its efforts with the Safety Monitor Program.

More than 140 safety monitors are in place throughout every depot organization.

Additionally, the Directorate of Pro-duction has five full-time safety monitors to support each production value stream. These Value Stream Safety Monitors are embedded in the Industrial Safety Office and are involved directly with supervisors to support the OSHA Challenge initiative.Lockout/Tagout

In FY17, ANAD maintained an inven-tory of 5,289 lockout/tagout procedures.

This is a 25 percent increase in proce-dures as compared to FY16, and a 99 per-cent increase as compared to FY15.

The increase is credited to robust pro-gram oversight and strong management commitment to obtaining 100 percent compliance.

Additionally, 160 authorized employ-ees (those qualified to perform LOTO) were trained in FY17.Fall Protection

Throughout the ANAD industrial area there are 100 fall protection system up-grades in 15 buildings.

In FY17, ANAD’s Safety Office trained 154 employees in fall protection require-ments.

Additionally, ANAD inventoried fixed ladders and determined more than 180 require upgrades under the new OSHA 1910.23 standard.

Work is currently underway to ensure that 100 percent of fixed ladders meet the standard prior to FY19. Machine Guard Program

A team has been established with the Safety Office and Directorate of Produc-tion Engineering for the depot’s machine guard program.

In FY17, the team evaluated 36 indus-trial buildings and more than 800 indus-trial machines to determine which guard(s) were needed to satisfy OSHA require-ments.

Work is currently underway to ensure all guards are purchased or fabricated and installed before FY19.Goals

The Safety Office’s goals for FY18 are to have a Total Case Rate of 3.23 and a Lost Time Case Rate of 0.52. The plan is to have all machine guards acquired or fabricated and full installation complete for the project.

Completion of Stage I of the OSHA Challenge will also occur during FY18.

Fifteen Purple Heart recipients participated in the annual Wounded Warrior Hunt at Anniston Army Depot Jan. 12-14. This is the sixth time the installation has held such an event.

The Purple Heart recipients were provided lodging at the fit-ness center, meals, hunting blinds and transportation during the weekend. Volunteer guides familiar with the area joined them on the hunt.

“These guys have served their country and we try to show some appreciation back to them for their service through this event,” said Andrew Burns, lead recreation specialist for the depot.

Each year, the weekend is a time of deer hunting, storytell-ing and fellowship.

During the event, 12 deer were harvested. The largest was a nine-point buck.

In addition to the Wounded Warrior Hunt, military person-nel, depot employees and retirees were allowed to bow hunt on depot property that weekend.

The event kicked off Jan. 12, with dinner on the installation, giving the hunters a chance to get to know each other and the guides. The two days of hunting began Saturday morning.

Would you purposely drive in front of a train, a tractor-trail-er or even another vehicle?

I hope the answer is a re-sounding, “NO!”

Putting yourself in the way of a M1 Tank, Stryker or other combat vehicle moving at 45 miles per hour or faster can be just as dangerous.

Employees at Anniston Army Depot have given in to temptation and bypassed the barriers at the installation’s Test Track three times since the be-ginning of 2018, according to “near miss” reports.

In one report, a vehicle drove around the barriers while a Stryker was being tested on the track. Strykers are frequently

driven between 62 and 65 miles per hour during testing and an accident could have resulted in significant injuries.

“While an M1 was round-ing the track, an EZGO drove around the downed barriers. They drove around the barriers entering and exiting the track,” said another report.

On a third occasion, during testing of a M109, two separate vehicles ignored the gates and crossed the track. Fortunately, on that occasion, personnel from the Directorate of Emergency Services were on hand and were able to stop the vehicles and rep-rimand the drivers.

When the test track is in operation and the barriers are down, no one should cross the track.

“This continues to be a prob-

lem with personnel crossing the Test Track around the downed barriers while a vehicle is on the track. We are concerned this will lead to serious injuries if not resolved,” said Bobby East-erwood, a heavy mobile equip-ment leader for Final Opera-tions.

It may be difficult to judge how close the heavy mobile equipment vehicle is, or how fast it’s moving, so the gap between the vehicle attempting to cross and the vehicle approaching could be far too small to avoid a potentially fatal collision.

Don’t be tempted to try to get through closed barriers. You can never be sure, so don’t take the risk. Remember, nothing is so important it can’t wait.

Safety is all of our responsi-bility.
