The event is sponsoredby the Washington Area Top3, an organization for thetop three Air Force enlistedranks in and around Wash-ington.

According to Air ForceMaster Sgt. Kyle Smith, theprimary purpose of speedmentoring is to allow juniorNCOs an opportunity tospeak one-on-one with ex-perienced enlisted leadersand discuss career concerns.

“We do 10 rounds of eightminutes each. That gives the

mentorees a chance to meet10 different potential men-tors, and then they’ll walkaway with their information.If they make a connection –if there’s something theywant to pursue – they can

contact them later.”Smith said the mentors

BY MILITARY HEALTH SYSTEMCOMMUNICATIONS OFFICE

It’s not unusual to find AirForce Capt. Meredith Schuldtplaying on the floor.

As a pediatrician at Joint BaseAnacostia-Bolling in Washing-ton, D.C., she spends most of herday seeing patients ranging fromnewborns to teenagers. Playingwith toys on the floor, she said, isa good way to communicate withchildren.

Schuldt doesn’t mind. “I’ma big kid sometimes,” she said,laughing.

Playing is just one way a pe-diatrician’s role is different fromthat of a general practitioner whocares for adults. Years ago, a men-tor told Schuldt some doctors canfollow a script and do every examthe same way. But children don’talways follow the script, and pe-diatricians have to be ready to

change the order of the exam andget what they can when they can.“When I get buy-in and accom-plish the exam of an 18-month-old who wants nothing to do withme, that is fulfilling.”

A big part of Schuldt’s workdeals with preventing some of theissues that could become biggerproblems later - such as obesity,diabetes, high blood pressure andother things that can result froman accumulation of bad habitsearly in life. She said she wantsparents to have all the tools theyneed to help their children devel-op and thrive.

Schuldt identifies with thechallenges her patients face, espe-cially moving from location to lo-cation. She’s not a military “brat,”but her father was in sales, andher family moved often - six timesbefore she joined the military. Infact, since joining the Air Forcein 2008 and attending the Uni-

formed Services University of theHealth Sciences, Schuldt has re-mained close to Washington, D.C.- the longest she has ever lived inone place. In addition, she’s themom of 4-month-old daughter.That helps her relate to what par-ents are going through.

Schuldt wants parents to seepediatrics as a support system, aplace where parents can get helpovercoming challenges and tapinto resources outside the clinic.The Military Health System offersmany support structures, suchas nutritionists, lactation con-sultants and behavioral healthspecialists, as well as on-baseresources to support families asthey move around the world.

“I’m not just here to treat earinfections and fill out schoolforms,” she said. “The military is abig family. If parents have needs,pediatricians are here to help.”

Pediatricians serve as important resources for parents

Thirty Sailors, Marines, Airmenand Soldiers stationed at JointBase Anacostia-Bolling washedcars during two shifts on April 23at JBAB’s Shoppette to raise fundsfor Navy Marine Corps Relief Soci-ety (NMCRS).

The group began at 10 a.m. andcontinued until 2:30 p.m.

Tammie Thompson, who worksat JBAB, said she was initially un-aware of the event, but took ad-vantage of the opportunity to gether own SUV clean.

“I didn’t want to wash my vehi-cle. I saw [the sign] and I know thatanytime the military is out heredoing a car wash it is for a reason.

If it’s [for] donations, I have noproblem doing that because I’mretired military and I have done itmyself.”

Electronics Technician 1stClass Travis Williams, who led theeffort, said the effort was mannedentirely by volunteers who wantedto support a good cause. The groupworked for donations only, with noset price for each wash.

region, representing a varietyof AFSCs (Air Force SpecialtyCodes),” he explained. “We’vegot everything from intel tomedical to cops to first sergeants– so really a variety of peoplewith different specialties and abroad range of experiences forthese [junior] NCOs to talk to.”

Air Force Staff Sgt. CortezWillis said he attended the eventbecause he’s new to being anNCO.

“I am a new NCO. I want to

be great, and I felt that this eventcould help me be prepared,” hesaid. “This mentoring sessionhelped me understand how toprepare for stressors and pri-oritize my schedule within atimeframe. I also learned I canonly control what I can controlwithin my range.”

Smith said the last sessionwas held in October, adding thatthe goal is to make Speed Men-toring a quarterly event.

Willis suggested many morejunior NCOs could benefit fromfuture events.

“I recommend this mentor-ing session for the junior en-listed who would like to pick thebrains of different styles of lead-ership for themselves,” he said.

Joint Base Anacostia-BollingHome Educators (JBABHE) went“back in time” to the pioneerdays, April 16, taking about 60children from JBAB Youth Centeron a unique spring break trip.

Children experienced churn-ing butter, making lemonade,potato sack races, marble-tossingand washing clothes on a realwashboard using homemadesoap.

The event was eye-opening formany of the youth who attended.

Elliot Hansen, a 1st gradestudent, was excited about theunique experiences. “My favor-ite part was shaking the cream tomake butter,” she exclaimed.

Many of the JBABHE clubshosted specific parts of the Pio-neer Day experience, includingcostumes made by the SewingClub and student art displays.

Home educator Ben Borelliworked with his 18-year-old sonMatt to set up a sutler camp andmining experience while wearingbeards and period clothing.

Children used a mining panfilled with dirt to search forhomemade Fool’s Gold. After agi-tating and sifting the mixture toexpose the gold, they traded it forgold bubble gum.

The Air Force Band brass en-semble Blue 82, lead by Tech.Sgt. David Balandrin, played pe-riod pieces and taught the groupabout historical musical instru-ments.

STAFF JUDGE ADVOCATE, JOINT BASE

ANACOSTIA-BOLLING

Q: What can cause an individual to bebarred from base?

As the Installation Commander, NavyCapt. Frank Mays is responsible for main-taining a safe and secure community onJoint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB). Inorder to carry out this task, he has the au-thority to prohibit certain individuals fromcoming on base, also known as issuing a“barment” order.

Most barment orders are issued be-cause an individual has committed mis-conduct that is a threat to the good orderand security of the base. Examples of thiskind of misconduct might include threat-ening violence against other members ofthe JBAB community, refusing to complywith members of the JBAB police force,or getting into physical altercations withother individuals on base. Similarly, anindividual who distributes drugs on baseor who steals from the Exchange, Commis-sary, or other individuals, might be barred.

In each case of misconduct, the command-ing officer will consider all of the facts andcircumstances to determine whether bar-ment is appropriate and necessary to pre-serve the security and good order of JBAB.

In addition, regulations issued by theChief of Naval Operations and Command-er, Navy Installations Command requirethat all sex offenders be barred from ac-cess to any Navy base, including JBAB.Navy policy also prohibits sex offendersfrom occupying base housing, includingpublic-private venture housing, such asthe Hunt and Lincoln housing communi-ties on JBAB.

The terms of each barment order aretailored to the reason it is being issued. Inmany cases, if an individual’s conduct isa threat to the entirety of the JBAB com-munity, the commanding officer will barthat person from coming onto JBAB at all.In other cases, such as thefts from the Ex-change, Mays may only prohibit the per-son from going into the store he was steal-ing from. The exact scope of the barmentdepends on what is necessary to maintainthe good order and security of JBAB.
