Fort Lee CFC Kick-Off Launches Season of Giving Maj. Gen. James L. Hodge, Combined Arms Support Command and Fort Lee commanding general, signs his Combined Federal Campaign pledge card as the season of giving kicks off worldwide. CFC – the only authorized solicitation for federal employees – is the largest and most successful workplace philanthropic fundraiser in the world. In 2010, federal employees raised more than $281.5 million for charitable causes around the world. Fort Lee celebrated CFC’s start with a golf tournament and is set to host a luncheon in November. Unit CFC rep-resentatives will deliver a booklet and pledge card to each member of the unit or organization. Pledges are voluntary and help support local charitable agencies such as Army Community Service, Fort Lee Child, Youth and School Services, the Holiday Helper Association, the Fisher House of Richmond, Inc., and the USO of Hampton Roads and Central Virginia.

The first components of a passenger train that will transport sustainment war-riors to Fort A.P. Hill for field training ar-rived here Wednesday.

Four 138-passenger-capacity railcars are part of a passenger train system that will be comprised of six additional cars and three locomotives scheduled for de-livery early next month. The train will carry mostly advanced individual train-ing Soldiers and cadre to the north-central Virginia post to participate in mandatory field training.

Thurman Brayboy, train operations principal planner, Transportation Corps, said the delivery signals the near-end to a two-year process to change the mode of transport for students currently being

Four 138-passenger railcars await clearance to enter Fort Lee at the Ordnance Campus near Temple Avenue Wednesday. The railcars will be used to trans-port 700-1,200 students weekly to Fort A.P. Hill.

bused to the field sites.“The bottom line is safety,” he said, not-

ing why the change was made. “This is a safer mode of transportation than putting numerous buses on the road at one time.”

Currently, 13 buses transport 700-1,200 students weekly to Fort A.P. Hill for an end-of-cycle event called the Sustainment Warrior Field Training Exercise. Interstate 295 is part of the 63-

mile travel route to the Caroline County installation and is fre-quented hourly by thousands of tourists, regional commuters and commercial transporters headed to the nation’s capital and other population centers along the East Coast.

Brayboy said the next step in making the train operational will be to configure the vehicle components and clear a number of administrative issues.

“Then we will conduct a few trial runs before it actually starts to transport troops,” he said.

Without any delays, said Brayboy, the passenger train should be operational in January.

Fort Lee began transporting students to Fort A.P. Hill two years ago when the Logistics Warrior field training site was

razed to make way for the Ordnance Campus, a consolidation of two schools that were relocated to Fort Lee as a re-sult of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure mandate.

A catastrophic crash of Fort Lee’s computer network could be just a mali-cious email attachment or internet down-load away, cautioned officials of the Network Enterprise Center here.

Users of government computers play an enormous role in network security, said Bill Palmer III, chief of Information Assurance at the NEC. “Even though computers are protected with antivirus software, on networks with firewalls, and have several layers of monitoring devices and programs, bad things can happen.”

There are many recent examples of “bad things happening” in the military domain. A keylogger virus that tracks all data entries was discovered on a net-work for unmanned aerial drones at an Air Force Base in Nevada earlier this month. There have been frequent at-tempts to steal personal information through “phishing” scams that are usu-ally connected to an urgent-sounding email stating accounts must be updated or a penalty will be incurred. Attaching a “must see” picture to an email message, like the Anna Kournikova virus in 2001, is another common hacker trick to intro-duce a worm or virus into a network.

In tandem, these sorts of incidents are the reason for the considerable level of concern by the IA team, and they main-tain a constant awareness campaign to ensure users recognize their role in net-work security.

“The person at the computer usually is the first one to notice that something is not right,” Palmer noted. “The individual might experience sluggish performance, an unusual number of pop-up windows, or a warning message box indicating that the antivirus software has detected a problem. Most of the time, these warn-ing signs and incidents go unreported.”

An “incident” refers to an unusual happening or event that has an adverse effect on a single system or larger seg-ments of the network. There are several types of incidents including malicious code (viruses, worms and Trojans), un-

authorized access (to the computer or data) or espionage (theft of data or in-formation).

“When a user suspects that an incident has occurred (or is occurring), he or she needs to take immediate action,” Palmer emphasized. “Don’t try to fix it yourself or assume that it’s a temporary glitch that’ll just go away. We would rather re-spond to a false alarm than go through the recovery process for a corrupted or infected network.”

The corrective actions of an individu-al user should include the following:

Immediately stop working. Do not save any current documents or files. Do not delete any files or empty the waste basket. Do not attempt any kind of cleaning or clearing of memory.

Disconnect the system from the net-work by unplugging the network cable or turning off the wireless connection. Do not turn the power off. Leave the CPU running and disconnected from the network. Restrict access to the system. Do not let anyone attempt to perform any kind of examination or repair unless authorized by the NEC, the Regional Computer Emergency Response Team or the Army response team.

Immediately notify your local Information Management Office or net-work security officer. If they are not available, notify your supervisor. If they are not present, contact the NEC IA divi-sion.

The “User’s Guide to Incident Response” is located on the NEC’s web-site – www.lee.army.mil/nec/network.en-terprise.center.aspx. Scroll down to the “References” section and click on the “Download File” link next to “Training Materials - User’s Guide to Incident Response.”

“Help us help you,” Palmer conclud-ed. “Keep a copy of the guide in your work area and be familiar with its con-tents. The threat to our government com-puter network is constant and very real, so we want all of our users to take it very seriously and continue the great work of being cautious about suspicious activity while conducting day-to-day computer activities.”

Caution Can Curtail Computer Crashes


Earth-conscious communities across the U.S. will celebrate National Recycling Week Nov. 7-11. The goal of the annual observance is to bring a national focus to recycling and the broader themes of minimizing waste and managing material resources.

Now in its 15th year, recycling week is an established and highly regarded education and “behavioral change” campaign, noted Cindy Rood, Fort Lee’s environmental protection man-ager. The observance aims to improve the environmental benefits of curbside, and industrial and community recycling programs.

According to Rood, Fort Lee’s planned activities for recycling week in-clude the following:

Promotion of the Hazardous Waste Facility in building 7130 – it will be open during normal duty hours and will accept lead acid batteries, paint, re-chargeable batteries and old cell phones.

Advertising two special activities at the Post Exchange – the plastic bag

collection container and the “Dream Machine” plastic and metal drink con-tainer collection point in front of the store.

A post-wide recycling audit will take place Nov. 7-10 in all buildings on the installation. Teams will look for items being thrown in the trash that could be recycled. The office that’s doing the best job of recycling will receive special rec-ognition.

An essay competition for all Fort Lee military members – the topic is “Why a Soldier (Sailor, Marine, Airman) should recycle.’” The essay length should be at least 500, but no more than 1000 words. The deadline for submissions is Nov. 4. Submit entries to the following email address: [email protected]. The prize is $100 for the best essay, as determined by a panel of judges.

Prize giveaways – Fort Lee Commissary vendors will present $25 gift certificates to random customers who use reusable bags at the check-out counter.

The slogan for Fort Lee’s Reusable Bag Campaign is “A Greener Future-It’s in the Bag!” Its goal is to greatly reduce the use of plastic shopping bags at the PX, DeCA and FMWR facilities. The effort is encouraged by the distri-bution of free reusable shopping bags bearing the Fort Lee Recycling Program logo at various installation events. Gift card giveaways at the commissary and the 5-cent credit for each reusable bag used at the exchange facilities continue throughout the year.

Other ways you can participate in the national recycling awareness effort include limiting your day-to-day pur-chases of commercial goods to only products that incorporate or are entirely made from recycled materials, and find-ing other uses for items that are normal-ly thrown away immediately after use.

Observance Promotes Recycling, Reuse

During National Recycle Week (Nov. 7-11), Fort Lee’s Refuse and Recycle Contractor, Mark Dunning Industries, Inc., will sponsor an essay contest. It is open to all active duty military members regardless of rank, age or assignment. The topic is “Why a Soldier (Sailor, Marine, Airman) should Recycle.”

The narrative style is open; however, the content must be original and cannot include previously pub-lished material. Inspiring narratives that encourage maximum participation in Fort Lee’s recycle program and focus on the importance for world-wide aware-ness have the best chance of winning.

Other essay contest guidelines include the follow-ing:

Fort Lee students arriving to Hopewell’s Carter G. Woodson Middle School will have personal guides and po-tential friends waiting to help them adjust to their new sur-roundings.

The Junior Student 2 Student program is in its infancy at Woodson, but has six eager students –two 6th graders, two 7th graders and two 8th graders – ready to help newcomers learn the layout of the school, policies and hallway traffic patterns to name a few of skills the students learned during a recent two day conference.

Student 2 Student is the brainchild of the Military Child Education Coalition and was launched in high schools worldwide before the JS2S program took shape. During their training, the students and their advisors learned how to train other students on methods to support students who are tran-sitioning to or from another school. The focus is student-cen-tered and is student-led, with close supervision. The training, based on three research modules, focuses on meeting very real transitioning student needs with immediate peer cred-ibility, positive peer relationships and valued information.

Woodson’s gifted education teacher, Jane Bujakowski and guidance counselor Bobbi Peck selected six outstand-ing students to attend the training. They are strong indi-viduals who can handle additional responsibilities and are friendly and outgoing.

Eighth graders Gabby Canino and Blaise Michaud ex-plained why they felt JS2S would work well at their school.

The students learned how to incorporate planning, tech-nology, resources, goal setting, support system and ele-ments of transitioning in and out of campuses in each of the modules. Individual teams developed local lesson plans and clear assignments for implementation at their home campuses during the conference. The modules focused on academics, relationships and finding the way.

Canino said she learned a lot about military students dur-ing the training.

“Aspects of school I don’t really think about like which hallway to use or where to sit in the cafeteria could make a new student feel overwhelmed,” she said. “I loved the ac-tivities we participated in at the training. We learned to branch out, and we needed to know all the other students by the end of the two days. They wanted us to learn to meet new people and not to just befriend girls if you are a girl and not just befriend guys if you are a guy. We learned how to make friends and not be shy.”

The confident student said she was excited to be in the program and is looking forward to putting her newly found knowledge to good use.

“I can’t wait for a new student to arrive,” Canino said.

Michaud, a talented artist, is ready to make a difference, as well.

“We recently had a new student join our class, and I’ve realized how much differ-ence peers can make in the lives of others. If we didn’t speak to her in class or wave in the hallway, she might start to think we aren’t wel-coming her,” Michaud said.

Prince George County High School and Hopewell High launched S2S in their schools in 2008.

Moore Middle School, Clements Jr. High School and the Education Center in Prince George County sent students and faculty members to the training.

At Moore Middle, more than 40 students are Moore Mentors. Each of the school’s homerooms have at least one student assigned to help welcome students to the school and provide assistance to both military and nonmilitary newcomers.

Guidance counselor Erica Uber said six of the Moore Mentors were able to attend the JS2S training and learned

Steven Bhatt, a counselor at Clements, said the students are marching forward with the new ambassador skills to make the school feel more like home to all new students.

Luminary Tribute Honors Fallen Troops

More than 6,000 candles will cast their soft light on the graves of Civil War heroes at Poplar Grove National Cemetery during the 6th Annual Luminary observance Nov. 12, 5-8 p.m., in Petersburg.

This grand tribute to Veteran’s Day honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of their country. In addition to the spectacular sight of flickering luminaries across several acres of hallowed grounds, observers will hear the distant sound of bagpipe music echoing over the graves of Union soldiers. Few other tributes to military members who gave and continue to give their lives to de-fend the nation could be more poignant.

The formal program begins at 5:30 p.m. Guests are in-vited to wander the cemetery, see the luminaries and hear stories about some of the soldiers buried there. Over the last several months, the cemetery staff has offered white paper bags to visitors to write messages to their loved ones in harm’s way or to remember an ancestor from the Revolutionary or Civil Wars. These bags are used in the luminary event to light every grave of known and un-known soldiers.

Poplar Grove National Cemetery is located approxi-mately 10 miles east of Fort Lee. The Luminary event is free and open to the public. Free shuttle buses to and from the location will run every 15 minutes. The pickup and drop-off point is the Good Shepherd Baptist Church, 2223 South Crater Road, Petersburg. The last shuttle to the cemetery will leave at 7:30 p.m. Private vehicles are not permitted at the cemetery site.

The national cemetery was established in 1866 and be-came the reburial ground for more than 5,000 Union sol-diers who were previously interred at more than 100 sites throughout Petersburg. Only a few of those buried there have names on their tombstones.

For more information about the 6th Annual Luminary event, contact Elizabeth Dinger at (804) 732-3531, ext. 208.

Airmen and family members of Fort Lee’s 345th Training Squadron formed a team to sup-port a local charity group by fundraising, running and walking in the Step Up for Downs 5K & Family Festival at Short Pump Town Center in Richmond Oct.. The team called them-selves “John Ryleigh’s Roadies” in honor of their team captain John Ryleigh Lindner, a two-year-old with Down’s Syndrome. John is the son of Staff Sgt. John Lindner, an instructor with the 345th TRS here. The team raised more than $5,000 in the weeks leading up to the race with all of the funds going to the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Richmond. The 345th TRS is part of the 37th Training Group, 37th Training Wing at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas.

Air Force Participates in Charity Run


Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation is put-ting the final touches on their plans to transform the Post Field House into a Youth Fall Festival that’s sure to de-light children of all ages.

The second annual festival scheduled for 1-4 p.m. Saturday is free and open to the public.

Among the activities planned are pumpkin decorating, an arts and crafts table, a children’s costume contest, and for the adventurous – a rock wall and a haunted house.

The Chesterfield Children’s Theatre will be perform-ing Vampire Rocks at 1:15 and 2:30 p.m.

“Last year we hosted the first Family Fall Festival and it was a great success,” said Alyssa Kerver, FMWR program manager. “We were excited to again provide a family activity for our community to participate in. It is a chance for families to spend time together having fun, and the best thing about it is that there is no cost.”

Children dressed in costume can compete for Swader’s Sports Park gift cards. Three age groups can compete for best costume, first and second place winners in each cat-egory will be selected.

Children must be 17 years-old or younger to partic-ipate. Age groups are as follows: Four and under, 5-8 years old and 9-17 years old.

(something bad will) happen when you get outside the wire or whether something is going to happen within it. It’s just an unsettling feeling”The qualities you like to see in your fellow Soldiers: “Motivation, discipline, someone who is always striving for that next step.”How can you make the institution better: “By moving up in rank and setting the example for Soldiers and showing them what an NCO is supposed to be.”Your goals: “My personal goal is to have a nice house with the wife and hopefully, no more kids. Professionally, I’m really undecided right now. I’m in the process of looking at other MOSs (Smith will be up for reenlistment soon).”

SAFETY

The fall hunting season is here, and the Fort Lee Safety Office reminds participants that an enjoyable day in the woods begins with good safety planning. Everything from weather conditions and visibility to skill level and firearm capabilities must be considered. During a general firearms deer season, every hunter or person accompanying a hunt-er must wear blaze orange. In addition, all hunters are encouraged to strictly follow three basic rules for hunting safety.

Hunters using tree stands should follow this advice:

and inspect permanent tree stands thoroughly before us-

back to the ground. These recommendations are drawn from the Hunter

Safety Education program. Each year, approximately 16,000 people attend these free classroom courses. The program emphasizes hunting ethics, safety and individual responsibility. Students learn that hunting is about being part of the outdoor experience, observing wildlife in the wild and connecting with the natural world. A successful

hunt is most often measured by the outdoor experience. There are 10 commandments of shooting safety.1. Always point the muzzle in a safe direction. Do

not point a firearm or bow at anything you do not intend

out of the trigger guard until the instant you are ready to -

ever, the safety should never be a substitute for safe fire-arm handling.

2. Give every firearm or bow the same respect as a loaded gun or nocked arrow. Every time you pick up a firearm, the first thing you must do is check to see if it is

that the action is open until ready to be fired. If you do not understand how to determine if it is loaded, do not accept the firearm until someone has safely shown you that it is unloaded. Read your instruction manual carefully before you handle new firearms or bows.

only ammunition you carry correctly matches the gauge or caliber you are shooting. Always carry arrows in a protected cover or quiver. Learn the proper carries. Try to use the two-hand carry whenever possible because it affords you the best muzzle control. Always carry hand-guns with hammers over an empty chamber or cylinder. If you fall, be sure to disassemble the gun and check

Army veteran David Buckley receives some last-minute riding advice from a member of the All American Cowgirl Chicks trick horseback riding team at the Virginia State Fairgrounds in Dumfries Oct. 15. Buckley represented the Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center and the Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center – a local business that provides free thera-peutic riding lessons for veterans – dur-ing an opening military tribute for the Cowgirl Chicks’ performance. LDEC has welcomed more than 600 veterans to its riding program since 2008. The eques-trian center was at the state fair to raise funds for its facilities. Several Fort Lee volunteers contributed to the effort by parking horse trailers, cleaning up and serving food.

when there are persons to your sides, in front of, or behind you. If in doubt, never take a shot. When hunting, wear daylight fluorescent orange so you can be seen from a distance or in heavy cover.

7. Control your emotions when it comes to safety. If you lose control of your temper, you may do some-thing careless. If you have just shot a target or animal, you probably will be excited. At that moment you may turn with a loaded firearm back toward your friends or you might run with a loaded firearm toward a downed animal with the gun safety off. You or someone else may be in danger once you lose control of your emotions. Show discipline. Rehearse in your mind what the safe actions will be. Do not allow your daydreams

to preface good judgment. Show re-straint and pass up shots that have the slightest chance of being unsafe.

8. Wear hearing and eye protec-tion. While shooting at the range, you must wear hearing and eye protection at all times. Firearms are loud and can create noises that are damaging to a person’s hearing. It can be a gradu-al loss of hearing due to outbursts of noise over many years. The damage also could be immediate, especially if your ears are next to a muzzle blast. Vibrations from the blast are enough to create loss of hearing. Wear glass-es to protect your eyes from escap-ing gases, burnt powder (especially in black powder shooting), and other debris.

9. Do not drink alcohol or take drugs before or while handling fire-arms or bow and arrows. Alcohol and drugs impair normal physical and mental body functions and must not be used before or while handling fire-

arms or archery equipment. These substances affect emotions, making it easier to lose control.

10. Be aware of additional circum-stances that require added caution or safety awareness. Just because some-thing is not listed under these “ten commandments of shooting safety” does not mean you can ignore it if it is dangerous. There may be rules such as in muzzle loading or archery or posted at a shooting range that also should be followed. Practice reload-ing safety by following and reading all specific instructions. Practice all commandments of shooting safety. Ensure a safe future for you, others and the shooting sports!

HUNTING— FROM PAGE 10

Poor pitiful spinach and other dark leafy greens have long been the brunt of derogatory comments like, “Yuck!” from a certain segment of com-missary shoppers. If you’re among that group, just listen to what you’re missing.

Spinach is considered one of the world’s healthiest foods by some nutrition experts. It’s load-ed with vitamins K and A, it’s a super source for manganese and folate and cooked spinach is an excellent source of iron – all that and more for only 41 calories per cup!

While spinach is available all year round, twice a year it’s in-season and at its best – right now during the cool months of fall, and again during the cool months of spring. Choose loose spinach that has vibrant, deep green leaves and stems that appear crisp and unblemished – no soft spots, wet plac-es, wilting or yellowing. For bagged spinach or spinach blends, choose the freshest looking bag of the bunch, and pay close attention to the use-by date.

Store loose spinach, unwashed, in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator crisper, where it should keep well for 3 to 4 days. To prepare, snap off the stems at the base of the leaves, place the leaves in a large bowl of cool water and

swish with your hands to loosen any dirt and sand. Remove the leaves from the water, empty the bowl, and repeat this process until no dirt remains in the water. If using the spin-ach in a salad, dry it in a salad spinner or by blotting with paper towels. No need to dry the leaves if they are going to

be cooked. To prepare: Either use leaves

whole or stack and cut crosswise into thin ribbons, or tear into small pieces. The following are instruc-tions for specific modes of cooking spinach:

saucepan with the water from wash-ing clinging to the leaves. Season with salt, cover and cook over me-dium heat just until wilted, about 5 minutes.

in a steamer basket placed over 1 to 2 inches of boiling water. Cover and steam just until wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes.

3-quart baking dish. Cover and cook on high until tender, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring after 3 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.

Remember, you can find the ingredients for all these rec-ipes at your local commissary at significant savings. Kay’s Kitchen offers a few recipes to help spinach become a re-quested dish at your house. To check them out, visit www.commissaries.com.

With Halloween just days away, it’s a good time to make those safe game plans for young trick or treaters. Everything from the costumes they plan to wear to the outdoor decorations that are popular this time of year should be considered.

While most Halloween costumes available commer-cially these days are flame resistant, some offer minimal protection or have loose attachments that can still melt quickly and cause serious burns. Homemade costumes should be an even bigger cause of careful consideration since they often involve cloth, paper or paint that ignites easily near an open flame.

When choosing costumes, look for the flame resistant label and be aware of loose and flowing garments and/or attachments that could come in contact with a hot surface or an open flame. Trekking up a walkway lined with can-dle lit paper bag lanterns or jack-o’-lanterns is dangerous in a wavy flammable costume. Don’t let “trick or treat” turn into “stop, drop and roll.”

To improve safety even farther, illuminate outdoor Halloween props with battery operated candles or a flashlight. Open-flame fires increase by 50 percent dur-ing the latter half of October due to the increased use of

candles, according to the National Fire Protection Association.

Anyone still using open-flame candles for decoration should be sure to keep them away from straw, cornstalks and other combustible decorations as well as walkways that will be used by excited and inattentive kids. The use of open-flame decorations (candles included) is forbidden in administrative areas or community centers on post.

Older holiday decorations with traditional bulbs also pose a fire hazard. They should be carefully installed to ensure they’re nowhere near flammable objects and regularly inspected for cracked or heavily worn wiring.

Consider also that Halloween is traditionally a very busy time for fire and emergency services across the na-tion. Be sure to remind young treat gatherers to stay clear of the street and wait on the sidewalk if they hear an ap-proaching emergency vehicle.

Haunted houses are another popular activity during this time of year. Those operating these terror abodes must understand they are taking on the responsibility of maintaining the safety of their guests. One possible

danger is mistaking smoke or fire as part of the show and not an actual emergency. In the event of a fire, operators must be able to turn on

the lights, warn and make imme-diate egress possible for all guests. Of course, the surest way to guarantee no one

will be hurt or killed in a fire is to prevent it from occurring. So, while setting up and operating a haunted house, keep fire prevention and fire safety as your No. 1 goal.

Keeping fire safety in mind during any holiday cel-ebration is the best way to ensure the festivities leave us with joyous memories instead of painful regrets. Fort Lee Fire and Emergency Services wishes everyone a safe celebration and hopes these tips will prevent that “Halloween fire horror” from happening.

Fort Lee Fire and Emergency Services actively pro-motes fire safety to all who work, live and visit Fort Lee. For questions or assistance, please contact the Fire Prevention Office at (804) 734-6597.

For example, a $10,000 investment earning 8 per-cent compounded quarterly would be worth $22,080 after 10 years; $48,754 af-ter 20 years; and $107,652 after 30 years.

If you can set money aside every month, your sav-ings will grow even faster. According to Dinkytown's "Cool Million" calculator, if you began saving $100 a month at age 21 and earned 8 percent interest, by 65 your account would be worth about $447,000.

Increasing the month-ly contribution to $200 would double that to about $893,000. The riskier the investment, the greater your potential gains – and losses. For example, regular sav-ings accounts typically of-fer very low interest rates in exchange for very low risk of loss. On the other hand, investing in the stock market can potentially earn double-digit investment rates over long periods of time. (Of course, stocks can be a risky short-term invest-ment.)

So why not simply park your money in a safe haven? Simple: inflation. If your money is earning 2 percent interest but the inflation rate is 3 percent, you'll actually net a 1 percent loss.

Using the "Cool Million" $100-a-month example above, if you expect to earn 8 percent interest but factor in a 3.1 percent expected annual inflation rate (the overall average rate since 1925), your account bal-ance at age 65 would be worth more like $117,000 in today's dollars, versus $447,000 unadjusted for in-flation. Bottom line: Don't procrastinate on starting to save.

The five-day Best Warrior Competition, a contest that tests Soldier skills, starts out slowly and ramps up considerably during the final two days. Those final two days are held at the range areas here where the contestants are challenged with everything from combatives to urban op-erations to medical evacuations.

It is a point in the competition in which Soldiers are placed in their native element and where core skills are challenged to the fullest.

No one understands that better than Range Control personnel who are charged with mak-ing sure each range used in the competition is prepared to standard. First Sgt. Laderek Green, Best Warrior’s operations sergeant major for the past three years, said Range Control’s contribu-tions to the event is understated on many levels.

“They do a tremendous job in supporting Best Warrior with a minimum amount of resources,” he said. “And they’ve done this consistently over the years.”

Michael Finnegan, Range Control’s op-eration’s specialist, said its work is even more remarkable considering it has to provide un-wavering support to Best Warrior while simul-taneously fulfilling its normal mission require-ments.

“Three years ago they moved most of the events down here at the range complex, outside (of Fort Lee proper),” he said, “and with the op-erations tempo, that makes it tougher to orches-trate it all with all the other training going on.”

Fort Lee’s population has doubled as a result of the Base Realignment and Closure mandate that brought to Fort Lee thousands more Soldiers in training and a myriad range training requirements.

Finnegan said Range Control begins preparation for Best Warrior in the summer when range use is high. It starts with attending the numerous in-briefs, consulting with lane and event operators and helping to construct the areas used for the competition. It finally moves to maintenance, which can require anything from mowing grass to using heavy equipment such as graders and bulldozers to improve area usability.

The stress fire event, a live-fire exercise in which contes-tants must fire at targets while leading a squad of Soldiers, is one such example of Range Control’s involvement with range events. Over the years, a number of six-feet high berms were built, several old vehicles were brought in and placed throughout the course and huts were constructed to resemble villages in southwest Asia Range Control’s main-

A Best Warrior contestant navigates his way through the competition’s stress fire lane Oct. 7. The lane featured pop-up targets, elevated terrain and other features designed to test Soldiers’ responsiveness under fire.

Range Control Helps to Ready, Maintain Contest Areas While Fulfilling Normal Requirements

tenance mission was highlighted earlier this year when Hurricane Irene swept through the region, causing much damage to the training areas.

“A lot of the structures built for Best Warrior were ru-ined,” said Green. “It was a unique challenge for Range Control to get the ranges back in working order, and it took a lot of good management to overcome those challenges.”

In addition to maintenance, Range Control person-nel have a critical part in the operational aspect of Best Warrior’s weapons qualification events, especially the night fire qualification. That event has garnered national media attention over the years, having been documented in Soldiers magazine and the Army’s official homepage.

“Our guys have to usually re-program the computers in the range towers to meet whatever scenario they want to put the Soldiers through as far as targets coming up and timing,” said Finnegan, “and it really gets intricate with the night fire. Building that program and timing it with the regular program takes a lot of work.”

On top of all the usual requirements, Range Control per-

sonnel have to adaptive as well. Most of them know from prior experience that they may very well have to execute a “plan B” and even a “plan C” to fulfill the requirements of the competition.

“(Best Warrior) can sometimes be an ever-changing event,” said Finnegan. “It will change as the process moves along. If they (the organizers) see it one time and don’t like something, they might want to rearrange it. We are always on our feet for any possible last-minute changes.”

No matter what changes are made, Finnegan said range personnel must keep a keen eye on making sure range sup-port personnel, evaluators and contestants can function in complete safety.

“Safety is the main objective,” he said. “We have to look at everything that is done on the ranges and make sure they meet all of the policies and procedures for the training they intend to conduct.”

Fort Lee is scheduled to host Best Warrior again next year for the ninth time in 11 years the event has been in existence.

QUANTICO – Special agents from the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command are once again warning the American public, as well as citizens from other nations, to be extra vigilant and not to fall prey to Internet scams or impersonation fraud – especially scams that promise true love, but only end up breaking hearts and bank accounts.

CID continues to receive hundreds of reports of various scams involving persons pretending to be U.S. Soldiers serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, according to Army CID special agents.

The victims are most often unsuspecting women, 30 to 55 years old, who think they are romantically involved on the Internet with an American Soldier, when in fact they are being cyber-robbed by perpetrators thou-sands of miles away.

“We cannot stress enough that people need to stop sending money to persons they meet on the Internet and claim to be in the

U.S. military,” said Chris Grey, Army CID’s spokesman. “It is heartbreaking to hear these stories over and again of people who have sent thousands of dollars to someone they have never met and sometimes have never even spoken to on the phone.”

The majority of the “romance scams” as they have been dubbed, are being perpetrated on social media dating-type websites where unsuspecting females are the main target.

The criminals are pretending to be U.S. servicemen, routinely serving in a combat zone. The perpetrators will often take the true rank and name of a U.S. Soldier who is honorably serving his country somewhere in the world, marry that up with some photo-graphs of a Soldier off the Internet, and then build a false identity to begin prowling the Internet for victims.

“We have even seen instances where the Soldier was killed in action and the crooks have used that hero’s identity to perpetrate their twisted scam,” said CID Special Agent

Russel Graves, who has been fielding the hundreds of calls and emails from victims for months.

The scams often involve carefully worded romantic requests for money from the vic-tim to purchase special laptop computers, international telephones, military leave pa-pers, and transportation fees to be used by the fictitious “deployed Soldier” so their false relationship can continue. The scams include asking the victim to send money, of-ten thousands of dollars at a time, to a third party address.

Once victims are hooked, the criminals continue their ruse.

“We’ve even seen instances where the per-petrators are asking the victims for money to “purchase leave papers” from the Army, help pay for medical expenses from combat wounds received, or help pay for their flight home so they can leave the war zone,” said Grey.

These scams are outright theft and are a

grave misrepresentation of the U.S. Army and the tremendous amount of support pro-grams and mechanisms that exist for Soldiers today, especially those serving overseas, said Grey.

Army CID is warning people once again to be very suspicious if they begin a relation-ship on the Internet with someone claiming to be an American Soldier and within a mat-ter of weeks, the alleged Soldier is asking for money, as well as their hand in marriage.

Many of these cases have a distinct pat-tern to them, explained Grey.

“These are not Soldiers. They are thieves. If someone asked you out on a first date and before they picked you up they asked you for $3,000 to fix their car to come get you, many people would find that very suspicious and certainly would not give them the mon-ey. This is the same thing, except over the Internet.” said Grey.

The perpetrators often tell the victims their units do not have telephones or they are not allowed to make calls or they need money to “help keep the Army Internet run-ning.” They often say they are widowers and raising a young child on their own to pull on the heartstrings of their victims.

“We’ve even seen where the crooks said that the Army won’t allow the Soldier to access their personal bank accounts or credit cards,” said Grey.

All lies, according to CID officials. “These perpetrators, often from other

countries and most notably West Africa are good at what they do and quite famil-iar with American culture, but the claims about the Army and its regulations are ri-diculous,” said Grey.

The Army reports that numerous senior officers and enlisted Soldiers throughout the Army have had their identities stolen to be used in these scams.

To date, there have been no reports to Army CID indicating any U.S. service

members have suffered financial loss as a result of these attacks. Photographs and ac-tual names of U.S. service members have been the only thing used. On the contrary, the victims have lost thousands.

“The criminals are preying on the emo-tions and patriotism of their victims,” add-ed Grey.

The U.S. has established numerous task force organizations to deal with this and other growing issues; however, the personnel committing these scams are of-ten using untraceable email addresses on “Gmail, Yahoo!, AOL,” etc., routing ac-counts through numerous locations around the world, and using pay-per-hour Internet cyber cafes, which oftentimes maintain no accountability of use.

The ability of law enforcement to iden-tify these perpetrators is very limited, so CID officials said individuals must stay on the alert and be personally responsible to protect themselves.

“Another critical issue is we don’t want victims who do not report this crime walk-ing away and thinking that a U.S. service-man has ripped them off when in fact that serviceman is honorably serving his coun-

try and often not aware that his pictures or identity have been stolen,” said Grey.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

extremely suspicious if you are asked for money for transportation costs, commu-nication fees, or marriage processing and medical fees.

-tionship with someone, check them out; research what they are telling you with someone who would know such as a cur-rent or former service member.

to actually speak with the person on the phone or are told you cannot write or re-ceive letters in the mail. Servicemen and women serving overseas will often have an APO or FPO mailing address. Internet or not, service members always appreciate a letter in the mail.

about the military and the supposed lack of support and services provided to troops overseas are far from reality – check the facts.

ty or company. Often times the company exists, but has no idea or is not a part of the scam.

KENNER’S CORNER

by Cpl. Terri M. MillerKAHC Radiology Department

Patients may not realize what hap-pens in the Radiology Department at Kenner Army Health Clinic. The technicians take “photos,” but there’s more to it than meets the eye.

If you have ever had an x-ray taken at Kenner, then you have prob-ably seen or used one of our blue aprons. The lead aprons are for ra-diation protection. Medical radiation protections are the science used to shield our patients and staff from the harmful effects of overexposure to radiation. It is utilized to absorb ra-diation between you and the source of the radiation. Low amounts of ra-diation, like the types received from x-rays performed within Kenner, are not as harmful to a person as high-er amounts; however, protection is

needed in all cases.Children and women of child-

bearing age are at higher risk to ra-diation exposure. Children are more at risk to the negative effects of ra-diation because their bodies are still developing. Developing cells are more susceptible to damage than fully developed cells like those in adults. Women of child-bearing age are at a higher risk due to the poten-tial effects on the fetus in pregnancy. X-rays are dangerous for unborn babies because radiation destroys or mutates rapidly developing cells within the fetus.

Pregnancy statements are given to all women of child-bearing age for the purpose of protecting the moth-er and the unborn child. If you are pregnant or think you might be it is important to tell your provider and the radiology department.

Highly sensitive tissues are less tolerant of radiation exposure over others. For example, the thyroid is a sensitive tissue area. Excessive radiation to such tissue can cause damage. This can lead to further health related problems. Shielding prevents damage to tissues. Safety is a major part in effective patient care, and a corner stone for Kenner’s medical practices and operations.

The Radiology Staff at Kenner are an integral part of the patient care team and we are committed to pro-vide you the safest, most efficient care.

Speak to your radiation techni-cian about any radiation questions or concerns you may have. We are here to protect you to the highest de-gree, and provide you with excellent customer service and quality patient care.

Protect Yourself From Radiation Exposure with Aprons

Kenner Army Health Clinic now has a Quick Response code associated with its website. So, how does it work? If you have a smart phone, there is a whole new world of information available to you.

Your phone will then take you directly to the Kenner website which offers contact information and current announcements.


Colonial Heights resident and Army veteran Raymond Budnick offered several Fort Lee arti-facts to Operation Capture History including news-papers from 1943, a Fort Lee guidebook circa 1944 and several post cards. Budnick was stationed at Fort Lee in the ’60s and collects Fort Lee memo-rabilia as a pastime. Operation Capture History was held Saturday and is part of a continuing ef-fort to involve the local community in telling Fort Lee’s story by making historical documents avail-able to help fill in missing details. The Regional Archaeological Curation Facility will continue to accept history documents from the commu-nity. Interested parties may contact Amy Wood, Cultural Resources manager, at [email protected] or call (804) 734-4434 to set up an appointment for scanning the materials.

CASCOM (5-0) and PMO/217th MP Det.(4-1) faced off in an interdivision flag football game Oct.6. CASCOM received the ball to begin the game. Their offense was stalled as they failed to get a first down, forcing them to punt. PMO/217th drove the ball down the field seemingly at will, scoring on a five-yard shovel pass. Kenny Johnson converted on a pass to the back end zone hitting his intended target. CASCOM’s offense continued to be stifled by the PMO defense. CASCOM fell short of a first down as they went for it on fourth and four, giving PMO a short field.

PMO would fail to capitalize on their good field position. On second down, Johnson lofted the ball into double coverage; his errant pass was plucked from the air by Patrick Johns. On CASCOM’s ensuing possession, its quarterback Jarian Durggins scrambled to his right, throwing an ill advised pass down field into the hands of Lamon Whitfield. PMO failed to capitalize on the turnover as time expired in the half.

PMO got the ball in the second half trailing 7-0. Their offense sputtered

after advancing the ball on an offside penalty. It drew a penalty for guarding, pushing them back inside their 5-yard line and punted the ball. Deante Long anxiously awaited the kick; Long juked back and forth through the PMO de-fense, returning the ball to the 30-yard line. With the field position, CASCOM looked poised to score, however, PMO defense didn’t budge, bringing an end to any thoughts CASCOM had of scor-ing.

PMO managed the clock well which was largely attributed to them running the ball through the CASCOM defense.

PMO caught CASCOM off guard with a reverse option to the inside run-ning back. The CASCOM defense went right as the ball carrier broke to the left; the ball was 15 yards upfield before it realized who had it. PMO continued to march the ball up the field.

CASCOM had the run heavy on their mind and fell for a play action fake. The fake sucked the CASCOM defense in and Johnson dumped a pass over the de-fense for a touchdown. On the one point conversion attempt, Johnson rolled to the right, finding his receiver streaking in the back of the end zone to cash in. PMO claimed a 14-6 victory.

PMO Takes On CASCOMby Devin RobinsonFMWR Sports

The 530th CSSB blanked the 111th QM Co. 19-0 in a flag football game played Oct. 11.

The 530th received the ball first as 111th won the coin flip deferring to receive the ball in the second half. The 530th steadily moved the ball up the field. On first down, Tristan Jones scrambled from 40 yard up the right sideline, leaving the defense for a touchdown. Jones was intercepted on a two-point con-version by Christopher Williams. Williams nearly broke for two points as he was walked down at mid field.

The 111th’s offense stalled on their ensu-ing possession. They went three and out and the drive ended with a punt.

The 530th anxiously awaited the kick; upon receiving the ball, the kick returner’s flags fell off without contact as he danced around before being touched. The 530th would strike quick with a five-yard out route going for a score due to bad flag pulling. The wide receiver broke up the sideline for a touchdown, putting them up 12-0. They scored a one point conversion on the exact same play (13-0).

The 111th would sustain good drives throughout the game usually hindered by turnovers. With the last two minutes of the

first half Williams rolled left and converge-dumped ball to Edward Hurley who sprinted for a first down at mid field.

William’s bootleg to the right took off for first after another pass to Hurley on the previ-ous play. This gave 111th good field position before the drive was halted by an interception; giving 530th a chance to extend their lead be-fore halftime. The 530th advanced the ball to midfield on a crossing route but never took a shot at the end zone before time expired.

The 111th took the ball in the second half looking to jump start their offense and chip away at 530th’s 13-0 lead. Their first two plays the managed to move the ball a total of three yards.

Williams scrambled on third down for a first down just past the 20-yard line. On the next play, he zipped a pass between two de-fenders to Johnny Shepherd for another first down. The drive looked promising for 111th. Williams tried to go back to the well one time too many times as the defense stepped in front of pass for an interception. The 530th defender fumbled the ball on the turnover, killing the play and a possible touchdown as he had one defender to beat in the open field. The 530th went onto score a touchdown lat-er in the drive putting them up 19-0 which marked the last touchdown of the game. Time ran out before either team could score.

Separation from a loved one who is deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan can be an emotionally difficult time for all fam-ily members. Most experience low energy levels, feelings of sadness, anger, excitement, restlessness, tension, frustration, resentment and depression. Additionally, there are many challenges for military families to overcome during deploy-ments. It is important to recognize and understand these chal-lenges in order to effectively cope with the separation during deployment.

An important challenge for Soldiers and family members is to avoid the pitfalls often associated with deployments. A common pitfall is arguments prior to deployment. These arguments are generally the result of distress due to the up-coming separation. Realize this distress and try not to take these arguments too seriously. Another pitfall is failure to discuss expectations regarding child-rearing, financial man-agement or intimacy concerns – these issues sometimes can be a source of misperception, distortion and hurt later dur-ing deployment. Soldiers and spouses attempting to resolve these major pitfalls via long distance are often not successful.

Another pitfall is listening to or speaking rumors. It is best not to repeat the rumor. Because of rapid communication, rumors can spread unchecked. Avoiding these pitfalls will

ensure that the stress related to deployment separation will be much more manageable.

Another challenge is to recognize the deployment-related stressors that will impact the Soldier and family during sepa-ration and then develop strategies to cope with these stressors. To help minimize the impact of deployment-related stress, the Soldier and family member(s) can do the following.

Tips for couples:

and personal conduct before deployment.

to the deployed parent, such as letter writing or e-mail access. Make it creative and fun.

-

maintain communications with schools. The bottom line is that the Soldiers and family members

need to remain calm, go slow, stay informed and stay in-volved to cope during these challenges.
