Vol. 6, No. 12 March 27, 2015

BY JEREMY K. JOHNSON

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING

Leadership from a dozen jointmilitary bases met March 18 and19 at Joint Base Anacostia-Bol-ling for the 2015 Joint Base Com-manders Forum.

The forum, held at BollingClub, was organized by U.S. AirForce Col. Eric Turner, deputy di-rector of basing for the Office ofthe Secretary of Defense (OSD).

Turner said the annual gather-ing is designed to help joint basecommanders address the chal-lenges that come with combiningbases.

The initial meetings, he ex-plained, began during the imple-mentation of the 2005 Base Re-alignment and Closure (BRAC)mandated creation of joint bases.They focused on individual bas-es, resolving issues immediatelyrelated to transitioning. As thatprocess began to wind downand move into the finer points ofstreamlining joint operations, themeetings took a different direc-tion and started to become gen-eral feedback and brainstormingsessions.

“The OSD basing office begana regular drumbeat of getting to-gether all of the stakeholders, typ-ically by base, to work through allthe various issues,” said Turner.

“That has since evolved into anannual meeting where we get allof the joint base commanders to-gether as well as all of the princi-pal members of all of the militaryservices that oversee installationsupport.

“It’s essentially a forum wherewe discuss common challengesexperienced across the jointbases, including solutions somehave found that may be useful toothers, and then a look at wherethe Department of Defense - andeven Congress - are looking totake joint bases in general.”

When the commanders andtheir teams come together in oneroom, he continued, there are op-portunities to hear multiple voic-es with outside perspective - abenefit that increases the chanceof finding solutions.

“One of the things we’ve no-ticed with joint bases is thatyou’re bringing together per-sonnel and families from mul-tiple service backgrounds. You’rebringing together Army familiesand Air Force families and Navyfamilies,” Turned observed.

“You’re bringing together those

missions into a single entity beingrun by just one of the services. Asan example, at Anacostia-Bollingyou’re bringing together both theNavy and the Air Force into aninstallation now being run andmanaged by the Navy. One of thechallenges we’ve seen over thepast couple of years is looking athow the Air Force mission and AirForce families work within a Navy-run system when they’ve been inthe military for ten years, but mayonly have been stationed at AirForce installations.

“So, [at the forum] one of thethings we look to do is figure outhow to bridge that - how to makea single community on a jointbase where it doesn’t matter ifyou’re a Soldier, Sailor, Airmanor Marine.”

Turner pointed to confusinglabeling of common services onmilitary bases as a good exampleof issues the group has success-fully tackled.

“Last year we had a long dis-cussion on the branding at jointbases. If a base has a family sup-port center, but the sign out frontsays it’s a soldier support centeror it’s a sailor support center,family members from other ser-vices may not understand whatthat facility can do for them. Wediscussed labeling and what wecan do for the community to help

them understand where they canget assistance for all kinds ofthings,” he said.

“We discussed it again thisyear and we’re seeing progressacross several joint bases wherethey’re starting to put into play acommon vernacular that doesn’thave anything to do with onespecific service, but tends to theneeds of any military memberand their family.”

Turner also sees the forum asa way to put current fiscal chal-lenges into perspective, allowingeach joint base leadership teaman opportunity to see how othersare handling reduced financialresources.

“Certainly, the Department ofDefense has had a fiscal challengeover the last two years with bud-gets and manpower,” he noted.

“FY’13 was a challenge withsequestration,” he said, referringto the fiscal year. “FY’14 was a lit-tle better, but not entirely wherewe would have liked to have been.

“Even with the resourcing chal-lenges, every one of the bases iscontinuing to do what they can tosupport the mission, and they’redoing a good job at that. From allreports that we saw, every one ofthe missions - whether it’s flying,training, logistics or a cyber mis-sion - is getting first class supportfrom their host service.”

PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling(JBAB) police encourage all basepersonnel and residents to beaware of their digital footprintand maintain strong privacy set-tings on all social media websites.

The request comes just daysafter the terrorist group known asthe Islamic State of Iraq and theLevant (ISIL) published personalcontact information for U.S. ser-vice members, calling for Ameri-can sympathizers to kill them.

Larry Stevenson, JBAB antiter-rorism officer, said while there isa heightened awareness, he doesnot expect anyone to stop usingsocial media completely. Rather,he wants people to practice goodoperations security.

“Operations Security, or OP-SEC, is the process by which weprotect information that can be

used against us,” said Stevenson.“We don’t want to live in fear, butat the same time, we have to doa reality check. ISIL is recruitingpersonnel through social media- that’s why it’s really a concernnow. We have to be aware of theinformation we share.”

To practice good social mediaOPSEC, Stevenson recommendsstrong, secure passwords (a com-bination of uppercase and lower-case letters, numbers and specialcharacters), as well as periodicallychecking privacy settings.

Twitter allows users to keeptweets private, and Facebook offersa “view as” function, which allowsusers to see what their profile lookslike to the general public. He alsocautions against accepting friendrequests from someone you don’tknow. Similar privacy settings canbe found on other social media siteslike Instagram and LinkedIn.

“Know who you’re friends with,”said Stevenson. “However, even ifyou know your friends, you don’tknow who they are friends with, soyou have to be careful who you link-

up with on social media.”JBAB Crime Prevention Officer

Sgt. Bianca Burgos said geotaggingand location-based social-network-ing are also threats.

“Geotagging is the process ofadding geographical identificationto photographs, video, websites andtext messages,” she said. “It is theequivalent of adding a 10-digit gridcoordinate to everything you poston the Internet. Geotags are au-tomatically embedded in picturestaken with smartphones unless thefeature has been disabled.”

Location-based social network-ing is a similar concept. A varietyof applications capitalize on users’desire to broadcast their geographiclocation.

“All communication can be in-tercepted and once it is online, it’sthere forever,” said Stevenson. “Ifyou don’t want it repeated thendon’t say it, don’t text it, don’t postit. Limit what you put out there andkeep information to a minimumbecause there is always a possibilitythat it could wind-up in the wronghands.

“We are the eyes and ears forour country, so we have to be care-ful of the things that we do and say,and we have to be aware of our sur-roundings at all times,” said Ste-venson. “If you see something, saysomething. Report it.”

To report suspicious activity,call the JBAB security office, 202-767-5000.

Smart social media is part of operations security“We are the eyes and ears for our country, so we have to be

careful of the things that we do and say...”- Larry Stevenson, JBAB Antiterrorism Officer

BRANDON PARKERU.S. NAVY CEREMONIAL GUARD

PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard com-pleted a three-day mission to New York Cityculminating with marching in the St. Pat-rick’s Day Parade, March 18.

“We’ve supported this mission in thepast and I would certainly like to make it astaple of our schedule each year, because itis a great opportunity to showcase the com-mand and promote a positive image for theNavy in front of hundreds of thousands ofpeople,” said Cmdr. John Giuseppe, com-manding officer, U.S. Navy CeremonialGuard. “It’s also a great opportunity for ourSailors, who work very hard throughout theyear to experience not only the parade butliberty as a mission. I’m extremely appre-ciative of the support from Naval DistrictWashington and quite frankly, the NewYorkers; they welcomed us with open arms.I hope it’s a tradition that we continue for along time.”

The Guardsmen were excited to go toNew York and be able to march in the pa-rade.

“My favorite part of the trip was definite-ly the parade,” said Seaman Kevin Sanders,a U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guardsman. “To beable to march down 5th Avenue and listento everyone scream his or her support wasreally nice. I marched behind the Drill Teamas a super, which means if anyone droppedtheir rifle, I would get them a new one, or ifa cover blew away, I would get it and put itback on their head. I didn’t have to pick upany dropped rifles, but it was windy that dayand a lot of covers blew off.”

Marching in the parade wasn’t the onlything the group participated in.

“We were lucky enough to coordinatewith the folks at the 9/11 memorial atground-zero in New York,” said CommandMaster Chief Christian Detje, command

master chief of the U.S. Navy CeremonialGuard. “We took the Guardsmen to the 9/11memorial. It was a very somber moment forall of our Sailors, from E-1 all the way to O-5,to share what the nation lost that day. Someof these Sailors joined because of 9/11, andsome of these Sailors are from New York andexperienced the loss personally.”

Detje said that seeing a familiar name onthe wall memorializing the victims of the9/11 attacks had an impact on the Sailorswho’ve trained to be Guardsmen.

“I think seeing former Guardsman Elec-tronics Technician 1st Class Brian Moss’name on the wall, who died at the Pentagonduring the attack and is the namesake of ourtrainee hall, really affected them,” he said.

The day after visiting the 9/11 memorial,the unit first visited two national morningshows for some television face time, andlater met some well-known denizens of NewYork City.

“We got a chance to go to Good MorningAmerica and the Today Show and get somenational exposure,” said Detje. “We also got

the chance to shake hands with various tourgroups coming through and share how greatit is to be a United States Sailor. That nightwe were blessed to have our Color Guard goto the gala for the St. Patrick’s Day Paradeand got a chance to meet Cardinal (Timo-thy) Dolin and a number of dignitaries of theparade. It was a good experience for every-body.”

Another part of the mission was liberty -projecting a positive face of the Navy to thepublic. A single incident could have riskedruining the entire trip.

“I thought they behaved fantastically,”said Detje. “I was extremely proud to betheir command master chief. They showedNew York why the United States Navy is thebest Navy in the world because they workhard and then go out and be professionalmen and women during liberty. TheseSailors come right out of boot camp, sothey don’t get to experience deployment.A three-day visit, essentially a port visit, to

New York is great exposure to what life willbe like in the fleet. I couldn’t be more proudof them.”

Giuseppe judged the mission successful.“The Guardsmen performed brilliantly,”

he explained. “I asked three things of them.I asked them to ensure their drill and uni-forms were impeccable, and they were flaw-less. I asked them to meet all of their obliga-tions and muster times and be respectful ofall the New Yorkers and visitors to the city,and they absolutely did. Finally, I askedthem to enjoy liberty in a responsible man-ner, and we had zero liberty incidents.”

He added that wasn’t surprised by theoutcome.

“Quite frankly, I expected that becauseour Sailors here are very professional, theyunderstand our mission is very high profileand they hold themselves accountable bothon and off duty,” said Giuseppe. “I had veryhigh expectations, and as always the Guards-man met and exceeded those expectations.”

Warfighter Family &Readiness launched a newBingo program March 17 atBolling Club.

The new program in-cludes three weekly oppor-tunities to play the game,with two different ap-proaches.

The first is paper Bingo,a traditional game wherecards are purchased andplayers mark their cards us-ing ink daubers. To win, thistraditional version requiresplayers to pay close attentionand catch all of the letter andnumber combinations.

The second option, how-ever, is electronic Bingo.Participants can purchasemultiple cards and playthem all at the same time onelectronic devices that auto-matically monitor the game.

John Robinette, direc-tor of Warfighter Family &Readiness, said the electron-ic option makes it easier for

people who want to up theirodds.

“They’ll input your infor-mation when you purchaseyour cards,” he explained.“The device does the rest.It’ll play each one. Thenumber of cards [it tracks]

depends on how many youwant to play at a time.”

Both approaches requirethe player to call out “Bingo”when they have the correctmatches.

Sessions include mul-tiple games and are sched-

uled for Tuesdays at 11:30a.m. (11 games), Thursdaysat 5:30 p.m. (38 games), andSundays at 12:30 p.m. (38games).

“We’re hoping with the11:30 a.m., service memberswill come in and play duringtheir lunch break,” said Rob-inette, noting the programwill operate on a trial basisfor now to determine wheth-er it can be self-sustaining.

He clarified, saying,“We’ll try it for a couple ofmonths. We need about 80people per session to breakeven. If we can’t, we’ll cutback the sessions; if thatdoesn’t work, we’ll discon-tinue it.”

There was a lot of thoughtput into bringing Bingo toJBAB, he added. He listedtwo of the reasons for goingforward with it.

“It’s not only a programfor our customers and rec-reation program,” said Robi-nette. “We also want it to bea revenue stream to gener-ate income for the club and

MWR (Morale, Welfare andRecreation).”

John Puskar, Bingo call-er, volunteered to call thegames after his co-workerssuggested it.

Puskar normally works asa service and resource advi-sor at Bolling Club, takingreservations and connectingcustomers with the cateringoffice for parties, adding helooks to help by “basicallyassisting any way I can.”

Chuckling, he noted thathis educational backgroundwas one of the deciding fac-tors in taking the duties ofBingo caller. “Being part ofthe club, we needed volun-teers. I have a very good call-ing voice; I went to the Con-necticut School of Broad-casting, so I know how toproject.”

The actual training tobe a caller was provided byPlanet Bingo, the vendor re-sponsible for providing theequipment for the games.

At the first event, patronMimi Reyes, who described

herself as someone who hasbeen a military dependent“for a very long time,” saidshe showed up just for funafter a friend and MWR em-ployee told her about it.

“I’m not a regular player,but I’ve played before,” shesaid. “I do enjoy it.”

At each session, snacksand drinks are available, butvary depending on the ses-sion. On Tuesdays, lunch isfree for all players. Thursdaysessions include free coffeeand tea with a la carte snackoptions, while Sunday play-ers can enjoy free snacks,coffee and tea.

Each session takes placeat Bolling Club in the Bingohall on the first floor.

Robinette emphasizedthat patrons can join a ses-sion at anytime, as long asthere are still games left toplay.
