JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING,D.C. – Once you get to know Father LarrySmith and learn of his work as a Catholicpriest for the past 30 years, his arrival toJoint Base Anacostia-Bolling shouldn’t sur-prise you.

A native of Brockton, Mass., Smithserved as a Navy Chaplain for 15 years –traveling around the globe to help spreadgood will and fellowship to service mem-bers from all branches of the armed forces.He was a member of the U.S. 2nd MarineDivision in Kuwait during the Gulf War andlater served on the first American amphibi-ous ship into the Black Sea in 1992. His ca-reer overseas includes various stopsaround Europe, including a two-year tourin Naples, Italy.

Prior to joining JBAB, Smith spent thepast five years serving his Catholic faith inthe civil service arena. He spent much ofthat time at Hanscom Air Force Base inBedford, Mass., which is located just out-side Boston. He’s no stranger to the NewEngland region. Over the course of 14 yearshe split time at various Indian reservationsin Maine and later out west in New Mexico.

As a Jesuit, he said there’s a lot of corre-lation and tradition with Native Americansand that he especially enjoyed this time inhis life. Just like with the military, whichhas its own rich history and culture, hecouldn’t have asked for more.

“I’ve enjoyed all my experiences as apriest. The Navy helped show me the worldand I’ve found this profession to be excit-ing and something different everywhere Igo,” Smith said. “I’ve committed myself tohelping people discover God within their

own culture. I’m not a professional coun-selor, but I can offer spiritual direction ifthat’s what one needs. I will do anything tohelp foster that relationship.”

Smith will serve the Catholic commandat JBAB in a number of ways. In addition toleading Sunday services at the Chapel Cen-ter, he will assist graveside services at Ar-lington National Cemetery, offer pre-mar-ital counseling to service members andwork alongside the base’s religious educa-tion programs.

He also plans on reminding people ofsomething important in their own lives.

“I’m here to answer questions and letpeople know that we’re all responsible forour own faith,” Smith said. “From what I’veseen so far, there’s a strong Catholic com-munity here. I hope to encourage otherCatholics to come to church and not forgetabout us.”

WASHINGTON – Military, civil-ian, contractor personnel, theirfamilies and visitors at Joint Base-Anacostia Bolling (JBAB) are donat-ing food to help feed the hungry inthe National Capital Region (NCR).

Thousands of pounds of non-perishable food, hygiene items, pa-per products and household itemshave already been collected on thebase, but the need to collect muchmore is high.

JBAB, its mission partners andresidents are participating in theU.S. Government-wide Feds FeedFamilies food drive, spearheaded bythe U.S. Office of Personnel Man-agement (OPM).

Now in its fourth year, the annu-al food drive helps fill a gap duringthe summer months when foodbanks and food pantries strugglewith an increase in demand fromfamilies and individuals, while a de-

crease in donations exists.The need is particularly pro-

nounced in the community thatJBAB is a part of. OPM director JohnBerry said, “There is an increasedneed among children who are out ofschool and not benefitting fromschool lunch programs.”

Brenda Richardson, deputychief of staff for D.C. councilmem-ber Marion Barry, JBAB’s local offi-cial said,“Because of job loss and anincrease in unemployment; a weak-ened economy; higher living costsand other issues, compounded bythe recent storm-caused power out-age, there is a dire need. Many peo-ple are still trying to recover fromtheir losses.”

The increased need has morethan tripled, according to the Capi-tal Area Food Bank (CAFB).

To help address the need, whiteCAFB boxes have been placed in anumber of buildings throughoutJBAB to accept food and goods do-nated. Those items will then be re-moved from the boxes and brought

to the Food Bank throughout thefood drive, which ends on Aug. 31.

CAFB receives the collectionsand distributes them through theirnetwork of local food banks andfood pantries that they partner with,according to Molly McGlinchy, aCAFB food resources coordinator.

Mission Partners step upto help out

JBAB mission partners havestepped up to help out.The DefenseIntelligence Agency (DIA) is holdinga "One Can Day" event this month.In addition to this, a friendly com-petition among students at a "GreatLeaders, Great Culture" trainingsession in July produced 1,535pounds of food.

The Defense CommissaryAgency makes it easy for its cus-tomers to donate to the cause. Thestore pre-packages nine pounds offood in bags, which sell for $8.75.Customers in a rush or looking for a

convenient way to help feed thehungry simply purchase the specialbags and deposit them in a shop-ping cart basket on their way out, ex-plained store manager Linda Elliott.

Air Force Master Sgt. JeannieWashington of the 579th MedicalGroup reports that the command isenthusiastically participating in theeffort. The 11th Operations Grouphas also placed collection boxes intheir buildings, utilized by mem-bers of the Air Force Band andHonor Guard.

The Army and Air Force Ex-change Service (AAFES) at JBABplaced boxes in the Exchange and inthe Shoppette, both of which are fre-quented by hundreds of people daily.

JBAB’s privatized housing part-ners have also enthusiasticallyjoined the effort, with boxes locatedat both Lincoln Military Housing’sBellevue Housing and Hunt Com-panies’ Bolling Housing (The Land-ings) Community Centers.

JBAB’s Religious Services depart-ment has placed boxes in both

Chapels and leads the collection ofthe donated items from the boxesaround the base and its delivery toCAFB, Navy Chaplain (Cmdr.) Wes-ley Sloat said.

Not too late to helpor donate

JBAB Commander, Navy Capt.AnthonyT. Calandra, remarked thatit is not too late to donate food andother needed items. He said it is alsonot too late to request a collectionbox or volunteer to help collectingand delivering items to the foodbank.

“Canned fruit; vegetables andproteins, including fish, chicken,beans and peanut butter; grains andcereals; soups, snacks and condi-ments; juice, paper products andhygiene items are most needed,”Calandra said.

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. -- It’s that time ofyear again when school is rightaround the corner and families arehurrying to get everything theyneed in order. This includes generalhealth physicals, which Joint BaseAnacostia-Bolling’s 579th MedicalGroup offers to families for freewhen registered through theirhealthcare network.

Master Sgt. Roopa Schoop, med-ical flight services chief at the 579MDG, said the program has been inplace for two years and that threephysicals are performed on baseduring the months of July and Au-gust. Two clinics have been held sofar this summer – with the thirdscheduled forThursday, Aug. 9 from1 – 3:30 p.m. All physicals are givenat the medical clinic located onBrookley Avenue.

According to Schoop, parentscan make things easy on themselvesif they come in with all the properschool forms necessary for a physi-cal, as the 579 MDG doesn’t carryany of these forms on-site. It’s thegroup’s goal of saving families timeand getting everything done in justone visit.

“It’s just like an annual exam.We

perform a visual check, test theirhearing, check for any chronic illnessand make sure they have updatedvaccinations,” Schoop said.“We alsolook at what the parents are inquir-ing about. If a child is complainingabout their back or constant cough-ing, we need to know about that andparents are always the best conduitfor information.”

Because children develop at theirown rate, Schoop said you can’t treatthem as adults.The process is differ-ent and that’s why it’s important tohave a complete medical recordavailable prior to a scheduled visit.This includes all shot records andlisting of all medications. Parents canstart the process by downloadingschool forms from their respectivecounty’s school website. They canalso call the school administrationoffice for additional information.

Providers at the 579th MDG willwalk children through different clin-ic stations during their visit, whichusually lasts a half-hour countingcheck-in time, Schoop said. All ap-pointments are scheduled throughtricareonline.com. She recom-mends that children wear loose fit-ting clothing for added comfort.Schoop said children should alsobring their prescription eyeglasses,if applicable.

“Our true goal is taking care ofour patients and meeting all their

healthcare needs. These visits arenot about moving children in andout as fast as we can,” Schoop said.“We pride ourselves on putting pa-tient needs first.We want to take care

of this for our families and let ourkids enjoy the rest of their summer.”

The 579th MDG provides freegeneral health physicals to allschool-age children. Appointments

are required and are reserved for en-rolled patients only. A military I.D. isrequired upon arrival.To schedule aphysical, visit tricareonline.com orcall 1-888-999-1212.

AIR FORCE DISTRICT

OF WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, D.C. (AFNS) --Teachers from across the U.S. be-came students for a week duringan Air Force-sponsored ASM In-ternational Materials Camp July13 at Howard University, Washing-ton, D.C.

ASM started the camps for stu-dents in 2000 to make science,technology, engineering and math(STEM) fun. After much success,two years later ASM began holdingcamps for teachers as well. Thecamps have had various sponsorsand this year the U.S. Air Force issponsoring four camps nation-wide at various high schools anduniversities.

During the week-long camp inD.C., 23 teachers came together tolearn how to make STEM fun fortheir students by conducting low-cost, hands-on experiments.

Brig. Gen. Jocelyn Seng, mobi-lization assistant to the militarydeputy, office of the Assistant Sec-retary of the Air Force Acquisition,joined the teachers for their finalday of the camp.

"Ultimately, the future successof the Air Force will depend on ourcontinued innovation and techni-cal excellence," Seng said. "Yourbeing here better ensures the nextgeneration of innovators for ourcountry."

Since the first ASM MaterialsCamp for teachers in 2002, 87 per-cent of the 2,300 teachers who

participated are currently usingtools acquired in the camps.

"I don't care what level of edu-cation you're in -- whether it's el-ementary all the way up to highschool -- at any level, hands-onexperiments provide a greaterlearning experience," said retiredCol. William Edmonds, the JuniorROTC instructor at Space Coast

High School, St. John, Fla. "Thiscamp has shown us a great num-ber of low-cost, hands-on experi-ments we can share with our stu-dents."

The Air Force has sponsoredthe ASM Materials camps since2008 to help promote STEMawareness in the classroomsacross America.

"(The Air Force is) doing this aspartners with ASM internationaland Howard University academiabecause all us are vested in seeingour nation have a stronger back-ground in science and engineer-ing," said Seng.

This particular class had eightJunior ROTC instructors and thepartnership helped all the teach-

ers understand other avenuestheir students get informationfrom.

"This camp has taught me thatthere is a lot of overlap that can betaken advantage of with JROTC,"said Janet Fenstermacher, teacherfrom Yorktown High School, Ar-lington, Va. "This camp has alsohelped me form a much clearerview for students as to the possi-bilities for their career paths."

Dr. James W. Mitchell, theHoward University dean of thecollege of engineering, architec-ture and computer Science, leftthe teachers with some finalthoughts.

"You potentially have the ex-perts for tomorrow, the generalsfor tomorrow, the doctors for to-morrow, and the presidents for to-morrow (in your classrooms),"Mitchell said. "Intellect and po-tential come in diverse and non-conventional sizes, shapes andframes. There are individuals sit-ting in your classroom right nowwho will eclipse anything thatanyone has done in the UnitedStates and we must be prepared torecognize that potential and un-derstand that (as teachers) youhave the power to unlock a futurefor an individual who will dotremendous things to advance theUnited States of America."

Since the initiation of the ASMMaterials Camp for students,5,000 students have participatedand of those, 4,500 have gone onto graduate with a degree in sci-ence or engineering.

BY CHIEF OF NAVAL PERSONNEL PUBLIC AFFAIRS

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy is extending the Vol-untary Sea Duty Program for an additional year and addingHigh Year Tenure waiver consideration as an incentive forsenior enlisted Sailors who volunteer, according to NAVAD-MIN 229/12, released July 26.

Extension of the Voluntary Sea Duty Program (VSDP) ispart of the Navy's coordinated effort to aggressively addressgaps at sea and place Sailors with the right experience levelsand skill sets into high-priority Fleet billets.

Originally announced in January 2012, and updated inNAVADMIN 205/12, VSDP supports the Navy's warfightingmission of operating forward and maintaining readiness byrewarding Sailors with appropriate skills and leadership ex-perience who fill needed at-sea billets.

"VSDP is a unique program that helps the Navy placequalified Sailors with needed skills and experience in theFleet, while giving Sailors real benefits when they volun-teer," said Rear Admiral Tony Kurta, director of Military

Plans and Policy. "Geographic stability for a Sailor and theirfamily, the opportunity to negotiate for choice orders, de-ferment of the Perform-to-Serve window, and now HighYear Tenure waiver consideration - these are just some ofthe benefits Sailors are eligible for through VSDP."

VSDP encourages highly-trained and motivated Sailorsto voluntarily extend their enlistment in their current seaduty billet beyond their prescribed sea tour, to terminateshore duty and accept new orders to a sea duty billet, or toaccept back-to-back sea duty orders beyond their pre-scribed sea/shore flow. The sea duty assignment may be onboard ships, squadrons, or other qualified sea duty assign-ments.

VSDP offers Sailors the opportunity to shape their careermoves and negotiate for specific billets.Volunteers forVSDPwill not be required to accept a billet they do not desire. De-tailers work with volunteers during two Career Manage-ment System/Interactive Detailing (CMS/ID) cycles to finddesirable orders.

Additionally, as announced in NAVADMIN 229/12, Navy

will consider High Year Tenure waivers with VSDP applica-tions for senior Sailors with the appropriate skills and lead-ership experience to fill critical at-sea billets. HYT waiversfor chief petty officers will be considered on a case-by-casebasis, taking into account rating, sea duty manning and theimpact to future advancements.

Sailors accepted into the program can also defer theirPerform-to-Serve (PTS) window to the minimum obligatedservice requirement for the orders negotiated, typically 24months. PTS deferment allows VSDP Sailors to extend theircurrent enlistment for orders or extend at their current as-signment without a PTS quota. By going back to sea, Sailorsare afforded a chance to improve their records and increasetheir competitive edge in PTS through sustained superiorperformance at sea.

Volunteers will be assigned to commands within thesame geographic location as the current command if avail-able, providing the benefit of geographic stability for Sailorsand family members. The Navy will also consider Sailors'requests for out-of-area moves.

Sailors may also be eligible for Sea Duty Incentive Pay(SDIP), a lump-sum payment based on the length of aSailor's sea duty extension or shore duty curtailment.

Active shooter incident need-to-knowsBY THE JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING OFFICE OF EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING,D.C. -- In light of the recent tragedy with theactive shooter incident, the Joint Base Ana-costia-Bolling Office of Emergency Manage-ment would like to inform everyone on sometips on how to respond to an active shooter.

An active shooter is as an armed personwho has used deadly physical force on otherpersons and continues to do so while havingunrestricted access to additional victims.

Below are vital tips of information to helpkeep you safe in an active shooter situation.

EvacuateOnce people are aware that an active

shooter is in their area, they need to evacu-ate. If possible, have an escape route andplan in mind, evacuate regardless of whetherothers agree to follow, leave all belongingsbehind and help others escape.

HideoutIf evacuation is not possible, hiding in a

safe location is necessary. Lock the door andblockade it with heavy furniture, silence allcell phones and turn off any sources of noisein the room, dial 911 to alert police to the ac-tive shooter's location. If speaking is not anoption, then leave the phone line open to al-low the dispatcher to listen. Lastly try to re-

main calm.

Take ActionAs a last resort, only when death is immi-

nent, attempt to disrupt or incapacitate theactive shooter by throwing items and impro-vising weapons, yelling or acting as aggres-sively as possible against him or her.

Ensure to commit to the actions, escape ifpossible.

When law enforcement arrives, remaincalm and follow the police officer's instruc-tions. Place any carried items on the ground,raise both hands and spread all fingers. Keephands visible at all times and avoid makingquick movements toward officers, such as at-tempting to hold onto them for safety. Avoidpointing, screaming or yelling and do not stopto ask officers for help or direction when evac-uating.

After evacuation is complete, provide de-tails about the active shooter to law enforce-ment personnel. Members should provide lo-cation and number of shooters, a physical de-scription of shooters, the number and type ofweaponsusedandnumberandlocationofpo-tential victims.

JBAB leadership and Office of EmergencyManagement would like to keep everyoneboth military, civilian and their families in-formed as much as possible on being proac-tive in emergency situations. For emergencieson JBAB, please dial (202) 433-3333.To reportsuspicious activity on or near JBAB, dial (202)767-5000.

AMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE

WASHINGTON (AFPS) -- Followingmonths of life support systems componentstesting in the F-22 Raptor, officials have "de-termined with confidence" the source of pre-viously unexplained physiological incidents,the director of operations for the Air Force'sAir Combat Command said July 31 at a Pen-tagon news conference.

Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta lastweek approved a gradual lifting of restrictionshe placed on F-22 flights in May.

The combined medical disciplines offlight medicine, toxicology, physiology, hu-man factors and occupational health haveenabled the service to assemble "pieces ofthe mosaic" that reside in the cockpit, Maj.Gen. CharlesW. Lyon, designated by Air ForceSecretary Michael B. Donley in January tolead an investigative task force, said at thenews conference. The general pinpointed theupper pressure garment, oxygen deliveryhoses, quick connection points and on occa-sion, the air filter canister, as root causes ofpreviously unexplained physiological inci-dents in which some pilots complained ofhypoxia-like symptoms.

"As we completed end-to-end testing inthe life support systems components, we areable to piece together the contributing factorsfor our previously unexplained incidents,"Lyon said, crediting an "integrated, collabo-rative approach by government and industry"in helping the Air Force develop its findings.The task force, Lyon said, leveraged the inves-tigative efforts of numerous safety investiga-tion boards and the Air Force's Scientific Ad-visory Board to eliminate contamination asthe root cause of the incidents.

Air Force officials used intensive altitudechamber and centrifuge protocols to isolatevariables in the flight gear and cockpit con-nections, the general said. They also analyzedthousands of samples of gases, volatile andsemi-volatile compounds, solids and liquids,and compared that data to occupational haz-ard standard levels.

"Managing risks to our F-22 force has al-ways been pre-eminent as we work throughthis complex set of factors," Lyon said. "In the

end, there is no 'smoking gun.'"The fleet, grounded for five months last

year, has flown nearly 8,000 sorties totalingmore than 10,000 flight hours since its lastreported unexplained incident in March,Lyon said.

In a recent update to Panetta that led tothe decision to roll back the restrictions, AirForce officials said the service employed thor-ough, in-depth analysis to eliminate contam-ination as a contributing factor to its most re-cent incident and charted a path to eliminateall significant contributing factors today andin the future.

"We left no stone unturned in the inves-tigative process," Lyon said, adding that theservice will continue to move forward withenhancements and fixes as NASA primes toconduct an independent investigation.

The Air Force's investigative process alsoinvolved canvassing the F-22 communities togauge pilot, maintainer and family memberconfidence in the aircraft's safety, Lyon said.

"I recently visited our F-22 bases, and I cantell you, their confidence is high," he said,noting that no hybrid high-altitude flight op-erations and high-maneuverability aircraftcould be completely immune to such inci-dents. "There's no other aircraft our pilotswould rather fly in the service of our nation,"he added.

Panetta has authorized the deployment ofa squadron of F-22 aircraft to Kadena Air Base,Japan, under altitude restrictions using thenorthern Pacific transit route. Upon comple-tion of that mission, the Air Force likely willapprove most long-duration flights, serviceofficials said.

BY COMMANDER, NAVY INSTALLA-TIONS COMMAND PUBLIC AFFAIRS

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- As an-nounced by President Barack ObamaJuly 23, the Navy, in conjunction with thedepartments of Veterans Affairs (VA) andLabor (DOL), is launching a redesignedTransition Assistance Program (TAP) tobetter prepare Sailors for the transitionto civilian life.

The redesigned TAP, named Transi-tion GPS (Goals, Plan, Succeed), is a cru-cial element of the president's plan to re-duce veteran unemployment levels, andaims to bolster and standardize the tran-sition support that Sailors receive in or-der to make them as employment readyas possible.

Pilot courses began in early Julyaboard Naval Air Station (NAS) Jack-sonville, Fla., and Naval Base (NB) Nor-folk, Va. Upon completion of the pilots atall Department of Defense (DOD) sites,Commander Navy Installations Com-mand (CNIC) will roll out Transition GPSto all Navy transition sites. Also, an inter-agency transition to Veterans ProgramOffice team will collect Sailor feedbackas part of a comprehensive evaluation ofthe curriculum and format.

The Transition Assistance Programhas been redesigned into a comprehen-sive, mandatory program that includespre-separation counseling, a military tocivilian skills review, a VA benefits brief-ing and application sign-up, financial

planning support, job search skills build-ing, and individual transition planpreparation.

"Essentially, the Transition GPS corecurriculum expands the current NavyTAP course from four to five days, stan-dardizes the curriculum across the DOD,brings expanded and improved Depart-ment of Labor employment workshopand VA benefits briefings, and allowSailors to complete basic VA benefits ap-plications," said Rise Ruhl, CNIC N913Military Support lead. "It will also meetthe requirements of the recently passedVOW (Veterans Opportunity to Work) actthat mandates all Sailors, including ourReserve Sailors that are being demobi-lized or deactivated, attend TAP Work-shops"

The VOW to Hire Heroes Act, signedinto law by the president Nov. 21, 2011,created the new TAP mandate that allservice members, with limited excep-tions, participate in the TAP program byNovember 2012, to help prepare themfor civilian employment. Navy TAP class-es had more than 33,000 participants infiscal year 2011, about 85 percent of allseparating and retiring Sailors.

"Overall a good experience," saidChief Aviation Machinist Mate LendellYarn, of Patrol Squadron 1. "I took theworkshop seven months ago and stilllearned new information. I'm on termi-nal leave, and I've already begun usingthe information and techniques that Ilearned in class."

AIR FORCE PUBLIC AFFAIRS AGENCY

WASHINGTON-AirForceChiefofStaffGen.Norton Schwartz met with media July 24 in thePentagon to share his thoughts about his nearly40 years of military service in the Air Force andfour years as the Air Force's senior uniformedleader.

"When former Secretary of Defense RobertGates spoke at my Chief of Staff welcoming cer-emonyinAugustof2008,hequippedthatheandI had something in common, that both of uswere planning to retire," Schwartz said. "Indeedwhen he asked me to continue to serve, thoseearlierretirementplanswereputonhold.Today,however, I do plan to retire and am preparing tohang up my blue uniform for the final time."

As the Air Force Chief of Staff, Schwartz hasled approximately 680,000 active-duty, NationalGuard, Reserve and civilian forces serving in theUnited States and around the world. As a mem-ber of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he functions as amilitary advisor to the Secretary of Defense, Na-tional Security Council and the President.

Schwartz rose through the ranks as a specialoperations pilot who also succeeded in staff andjoint assignments.

He took the job as chief "at a particularly tur-bulent time in our Air Force," said Brig. Gen. LesA. Kodlick in his introduction of Schwartz to themedia. However, Schwartz, together with Secre-tary of the Air Force Michael Donley, has had "aprofound impact on the Air Force.

"Quite frankly they have made the Air Forcea better service and fighting force," Kodlick said.

During his tenure, Schwartz introduced the

phrase"All In"whenhespoketoAirmenaroundthe world about how the Air Force is a crucialpart of the joint service team committed to win-ning today's fight. In addition, he implementeda series of programs designed to improve thequality of life, care and services for Airmen andtheir families.

Despite the strides since 2008, Schwartz saidhe is leaving the position during another chal-lenging period as the Air Force contends withfewer available resources, and an increasinglycomplexgeopoliticalandsecurityenvironment.

Nonetheless, Schwartz said he remains con-fident the Air Force will continue to thrive be-cause of America's Airmen.

"(Airmen) are talented," he said. "They arededicated and they will handle today's chal-lenges and tomorrow's contingencies in themanner that has earned America's and the Jointteam's trust over the years.

"Our Airmen have reinvigorated the nuclearenterprise, institutionalizedremotelypilotedair-craft capabilities into our service, strengthenedoursupportandourcareforoneanotherandforour families, clearly demonstrated our commit-ted to the joint fight and established a programof record for the long-range strike family of sys-tems."

Aretirementceremonyforthegeneralwillbeheld August 10 at Joint Base Andrews.

He concluded comments about his 40-yearcareerofservicesaying,"AsSuzieandInowpre-pare to enjoy life after this career of service, wefeel truly privileged to have found a home in theUnited States Air Force, the greatest Air Forcein the world. I will always be proud -- always beproud to consider myself an American Air-man."
