PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Family members of fallen Sailors gath-ered June 27 at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling’sMain Chapel for a special potluck meal.

According to Pamela Valliere, Navy GoldStar Program president for Navy DistrictWashington, the meal featured dishes pro-vided by attendees that represented favoritefoods of the Sailors whom they lost.

“One woman actually wrote a little bitabout why she brought in this particulardish, and it’s one way for them to share alittle bit more about their loved one andconnect,” she explained.

The event, which ran from noon untilaround 2 p.m., is the first “Dining Out” tobe held on a military base. Previously, mealshave been held at restaurants in diverse loca-tions around the National Capital Region toaccommodate the geographical restrictionssome of the participating families may have.

The Navy Gold Star Program began inOctober of 2014, said Valliere.

“We support survivors of active dutydeaths. It could be combat, accident, sui-cide or illness; so there are a variety of peo-ple in the room - the death of their loved onecould be for a variety of reasons.”

Valliere says the dinners are a mecha-nism for families to come together andspend time with people who can relate totheir experience, without feeling pressured

to discuss it unless they truly want to. Thedinners, she noted, are an extension of theNavy Gold Star Program’s core mission.

“We’re here to support them,” Valliere em-phasized, “and give them whatever they need.”

Gold Star survivors are typically thoseclosest to the deceased member, includingspouses, children and parents.

“While they may not be officially recog-nized as ‘Gold Star’, if someone who was veryclose to a member showed up to an event, wewouldn’t turn them away,” she added.

Basmattie Bishundat lost her son, In-formation Systems Technician 2nd ClassKris Romeo Bishundat, in the attack on thePentagon, Sept. 11, 2001. She attended withKris’s father, Bhola.

“When 9/11 happened, I really didn’tknow much. I didn’t have another motherto talk to, so I was alone,” said Bishundat.

She said she’s never really been involvedin anything like this before.

“That’s why I was surprised, after 14years, to get a call.”

But, she said, she and her husband cameto support other survivors.

“I just feel bad for the newer [survivors].We’ve had 14 years to think about it andwe’ve had every thought you can think of.For them, even 14 years can seem like only afew. I can’t speak for a wife, but as a mother,I can relate. It can be too much,” she said.

Doreen and Pat Cappelaere lost theirdaughter, Lt. j.g. Valerie Delaney, on March11, 2013. Valerie died in an accident during atraining flight. They said they attend the eventsdue to the connection they have with Valliere,whose own son, a Naval Academy Midship-man, was killed in a motorcycle accident.

“We met Pamela and hit it off with herand her husband. Their son and Valeriewere in the same Naval Academy Class,”said Cappelaere.

The Dining Out events take place aboutonce a month. Valliere said everyone paystheir own way and there is no set agenda orspeakers.

DOD NEWS, DEFENSE MEDIA ACTIVITY

The Defense Department’s 2015 WarriorGames, which concluded June 28 at MarineCorps Base Quantico, Virginia, provided anOlympic-style spectacle of warrior-athletescompeting in games of skill not too differentfrom the “arts of war.”

Archery and shooting, cycling and swim-ming, track and field, volleyball and basket-ball events displayed the strength, stamina,balance, spatial awareness, muscular con-trol and sheer will that power top profes-sional athletes as well as successful servicemembers.

Leader Involvement, SupportDefense Department leaders and senior

military commanders have made programslike the Warrior Games a priority in the yearssince American forces became engaged in andbore the costs of two long 21st-century wars.

As a recent example, Deputy DefenseSecretary Bob Work and his wife, Cassandra,visited and spoke with athletes and familiesduring several of the Warrior Games events.And periodic visits to the wounded and toArlington National Cemetery have become avoluntary duty undertaken by most civilianand uniformed leaders.

Adaptive SportsThe Military Adaptive Sports Program

exists to help service members -- primarilythose who served and were wounded, injuredor became ill during the Iraq and Afghanistanwars -- in regaining “quality of life.”

According to its official website, the pro-gram, known as MASP, is designed to engagewounded, ill and injured service membersearly in individualized physical and cogni-tive activities outside of traditional therapysettings. The program’s stated goal is “to in-

spire recovery and physical fitness and en-courage new opportunities for growth andachievement.”

The benefits of physical activity for in-jured service members, the site states, in-clude reduced stress, increased quality oflife, lower blood pressure, weight manage-ment and enhancement of the rehabilitativeprocess.

Program activities include air rifle, airpistol, skeet and trap shooting; archery;baseball and softball; cross-country andtrack; cycling; equine; discus, shot put andjavelin; fishing and hunting; golf; hiking;kayaking and canoeing; rock climbing; ro-deo; sitting volleyball; hockey; snow skiing;surfing; swimming and scuba diving; triath-lon; wheelchair basketball; and yoga.

U.S. Special Operations Command ad-ministers its own form of rehabilitativesports assistance. The Care Coalition is So-com-led for special operations troops andtheir families.

Socom Commander Army Gen. Joseph L.Votel is quoted on the coalition’s home page:

“You kept faith with our nation, and wewill keep faith with you. The Care Coalitionis our action arm to assist in your recovery,rehabilitation and transition. We are com-mitted to you and your family - now, and inthe future.”

Service-Unique SkillsSocom sponsored a team for this year’s

Warrior Games, as did the Army, Navy, AirForce and Marine Corps. Coast Guard mem-bers teamed with Navy sailors, and a teamfrom the United Kingdom, which sponsorsthe “Invictus Games” -- a sister event to theWarrior Games -- also took part.

Totaling 250 warrior-athletes, the teamscompeted for medals in seven events June19-28: cycling, wheelchair basketball, sitting

volleyball, archery, shooting, field eventsand swimming.

Each service develops and emphasizesin its members the skills required by itsoperational domains, typically understoodto include ground, sea, air, space and cy-berspace. So while soldiers and Marinesmight be expected to be the top shooters,shipboard volleyball and basketball expe-rience -- earned during long months at sea-- might make sailors more adept at thoseteam sports.

Marine Corps Base Quantico, which is

about 30 minutes’ travel from the Pentagon,served as the hosting installation and site ofmost of this year’s events. The swimmingcompetition took place at Freedom Aquat-ics in nearby Manassas, Virginia.

The base, known as the “crossroads ofthe Marine Corps,” spreads over nearly 90square miles of Virginia, and is marked byhills, trees, trails, streams and the usualneatly demarcated training, working, hous-ing and community service areas commonto U.S. military installations worldwide.

Three of four Joint Base Anacostia-Bol-ling (JBAB) unaccompanied housing unitswon an A-List Real Estate Award for Cus-tomer Service Excellence based upon Com-mander, Navy Installations Command’s(CNIC) 2014 Resident Satisfaction andOpinion Survey.

The survey, conducted by ChristopherE. Lee & Associates, Inc. for all Navy unac-companied housing units worldwide, askedresidents to rate their facility on a number ofcustomer service measures of effectiveness.

Unique within Naval District Washington(NDW), JBAB manages four of the district’sten unaccompanied housing units in a re-gion that spans the area from Fort Meade toAnnapolis to Dalhgren and Patuxent River.JBAB and Naval Support Activity (NSA)Bethesda are the only two installations tomanagemore than one (NSA Bethesdaman-ages two). Together, JBAB’s unaccompaniedhousing teammanages Enterprise Hall, Fur-nari Hall, the Honor Guard Barracks, andBlanchard Barracks.

Criteria for the “A-List Award” is a cus-tomer service score of 85 percent or greater.Enterprise scored highest in the NDW re-gion with 92.9 percent. Furnari placed thirdwith an 88.8 percent score, and the HonorGuard Barracks also earned the award plac-ing sixth in the region with 86.8 percent sat-isfaction rate among residents.

Culinary Specialist 1st Class AntonioGranderson, manager of the U.S. Air ForceHonor Guard Barracks, said his supervisor,JBAB Unaccompanied Housing DirectorBrian Jackson, while proud of the team’s ac-complishment, did not want the team to becontent with this win because he believesthey can do more. Jackson already set thegoal of earning the top award in 2015, knownas “Platinum A List,” which is achieved byattaining a customer satisfaction rating of93.9 percent, a distinction unattained byany facility within NDW in 2014.

JBAB Commander, Navy Capt. FrankMays, presented a handful of employeesfrom JBAB’s unaccompanied housing teamwith their awards on June 23 at the start ofhis weekly staff meeting, congratulatingthose present as well as the rest of the teamwho couldn’t be there.

“It’s basically a combination of twothings: one, how well they did, and two,how well they were able to get the residentsto respond to the survey. On both countsBrian Jackson’s folks hit it out of the park,”Mays said. “And what happened when Bri-an Jackson told me that they had won theseawards? He told me, ‘We’re going to get onthe Platinum A List next year. So that’s the

attitude and the way it ought to be.’“Normally you don’t mention the folks

who didn’t win the award,” Mays contin-ued, “but Blanchard Barracks was the onlybarracks that didn’t win. And if you look attheir score, they just barely missed it. So thatin and of itself is quite a feat.”

In previous years, CNIC assessed andawarded unoccupied housing on an instal-lation versus an individual barracks ba-sis. Under that methodology JBAB earnedawards each year from 2008 to 2012. Begin-ning in 2014, the survey was conducted atthe individual barracks level.

“There are a lot of people who are re-sponsible for this award that we couldn’tbring because we would overflow the com-mander’s meeting,” said Jackson. “We havethe front desk supervisors, all of our militarysupport, our housekeeping staff, our main-tenance staff. They are just as much a partof this as anyone. They get the grunt workdone and they interact with our residents ona daily basis. They answer the trouble calls,

clean the rooms, clean the common areas.Everything that this award is based upon,they are a big part of it.”

When asked what it meant to him,Granderson touched on what is likely a keyelement of JBAB’s success across their unac-companied housing enterprise.

“It just shows how cohesive a unit weare. If you’re Air Force Honor Guard, Army,Navy, or whatever, we can accommodateyou and we can meet those high standardsthat each branch has. As a building manag-er, if there is ever something you don’t havefor your building, [the others] can give youhelp, assistance, or answer a question. It’slike a big family. That’s what makes thingseasy,” he said.

Building Manager for Enterprise Hall,John Inaldo, whose building earned thehighest marks, said this recognition meansa great deal to him and his team.

“It means that all the hard work that wedid improving the quality of life of the resi-dents: improving the common areas, clean-

ing the buildings, when we get a report thatsomething is broken we fix it right away - allof these things matter to our residents andimprove their quality of life. It’s a very goodthing to know that we’re doing the rightthings, and next year we aim to get the Plati-num Award,” Inaldo said.

Charlene Johnson, building manager forFurnari Hall which houses members of theU.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard said, “It meanswe have great rapport and response ratewith our customers which are the U.S. NavyCeremonial Guard. It means that we’re do-ing something right. If they put in a call forsomething, our job is to see to it that we getit done in a timely fashion. We jump right onit and try to get it done as soon as possible.So this means a lot. It’s a team effort though,so it’s not an ‘I’ thing; it takes all of us. Eventhe front desk they play a part in it too. Aslong as we continue to be incorporated likea family, then everything will run smoothly.”

PUBLIC AFFAIRS

With the price of crude oil increasing sub-stantially since January, motorists have no-ticed a recent uptick at the pump. This recentbump has Exchange officials reaching out toensure drivers are aware of the procedures inplace to keep fuel prices competitive.

The Military Star Card, for example, isthe quickest and easiest way to maximize toget the lowest pump price possible.

“Anytime a customer uses a bank issueddebit or credit card, the gas station pays aportion of the transaction to a third-partyfinancial institution,” said the Exchange’sGeneral Manager Tony Pares. “Becausethe Military Star Card is administered bythe Exchange Credit Program, our Expressis not subject to these additional fees. As aresult, we’re able to pass the savings on tocardholders by taking a nickel off each gal-lon dispensed.”

In addition to the everyday five cents agallon drivers using their Military Star Cardenjoy, the Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling(JBAB) Express periodically offers steeperdiscounts during certain holidays.

Beyond exclusive discounts, ExchangeExpress locations rely on a survey process toensure prices are competitive with the localcommunity.

Specifically, the Exchange conducts dai-ly surveys of at least five local gas stations.Pump prices are then set equal to the lowestprice surveyed for each grade of fuel.

“Because market-based pricing is notcontingent on cost, we survey and changeprices as frequently as necessary to remaincompetitive,” said Pares.

Charging sales tax on fuel can raise ques-tions for shoppers used to the tax-free ben-efit that the Exchange provides on almosteverything, except gas.

While it is true that the Exchange, as aU.S. government instrumentality, is im-mune from state and local taxes, the im-munity specific to fuel has been waived byCongress (Hayden Cartwright Act, 4 U.S.C.104). The Exchange, and by extension itscustomers, also pay federal tax pursuant theU.S. code that covers Federal Tax on gaso-line (26 U.S.C. § 4081(a)).

Accordingly, Exchange pump prices in-clude state, federal and local motor fuel tax-es, as well as underground storage fees, etc.The federal and state taxes, as well as otherapplicable fees, are included in the priceand paid to the appropriate taxing authority.

“Gas pricing is a very complex issue,impacted by world markets and politicaland economic factors,” said Pares. “Withthat said, the Exchange is doing everythingwithin its power to deliver the best valuepossible to drivers at JBAB.”

PHYSICAL SECURITY

After the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, theFederal Aviation Administration (FAA) andthe Transportation Security Administration(TSA) banned nearly all aviation, includingmodel aviation, from any Flight RestrictedZone (FRZ).

Model aviation refers to recreational Un-mannedAircraft Systems (UAS) and/orRemoteControl Aircraft (RCA).

The local FRZ consists of a 30-Nautical

Mile (approximately 26 miles) area aroundthe Reagan National Airport.

Under FAA guidelines, recreationalmodel aircraft may be flown below 400 feetabove ground level, as long as they don’tpose a hazard to people, property, aircraftflight plans and any Flight Restricted Zone.

Per the Federal Aviation Administra-tion, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) islocated in Category B airspace. Category Bairspace is known as the distance from thesurface to 10,000ft., surrounding the na-tion’s busiest airports in terms of airportoperations or passenger enplanements.

The configuration of Category B airspacearea is individually tailored, consists of asurface area and two or more layers (someClass B airspace areas resemble upside-down wedding cakes), and is designed tocontain all published instrument proce-dures once an aircraft enters the airspace.

An air traffic control (ATC) clearance isrequired for all aircraft to operate in thearea, and all aircraft that are so clearedreceive separation services within the air-space.

Due to JBAB’s location within the10-nautical mile radius of Reagan National

Airport Flight Restricted Zone, flying of anyrecreational UAS or RCA on JBAB would bein direct violation of Federal Aviation Ad-ministration (FAA) and TSA guidelines.

Violating that prohibition could result insevere penalties, per 49 U.S. Code § 46307.

49 U.S. Code § 46307 – Violation of Na-tional Defense Airspace: A person thatknowingly or willfully, violates sections ofthis title could be fined under title 18 (U.S.Code), imprisoned for not more than oneyear, or both. Per U.S. Code, no one on JBABis allowed to fly any UAS or RCAs. Doing sowill subject you to the federal law.
