PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Children from throughout JointBase Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB)took the stage July 17 to perform“Blackbeard the Pirate” for theirfamilies and friends as part of aweeklong performing arts camp.

The camp is part of MissoulaChildren’s Theatre, the largesttouring children’s theatre in thecountry. A team of two Tour Actor/Directors (TADs) arrived at JBABJuly 13 and held auditions at JBABYouth Center. More than 70 kidsauditioned; 56 ultimately earned apart in this year’s production. Re-hearsals began that day and con-tinued throughout the week withthe performance scheduled to takeplace July 17 at Bolling Club.

“The show is basically thisperson on the beach, Jolly Roger,played by myself, talking to thesebeach bums about a pirate treasurethat was buried on this beach,”said Ilanna Tariff, one of the Mis-soula TADs. “The story goes backand forth between present day and300 years ago, when Blackbeardand his crew found the treasure.The morale of the story: true trea-sures aren’t found in a box.”

The cast was comprised of kidsages 5 to 17, including several Mis-soula veteran participants.

Charis Vander Hamm, 12, whoplayed “Bluebeard,” said this washer fifth performance with Missou-la Children’s Theatre and she en-courages all kids to give it a chance.

“The costumes and props arereally awesome, and it’s just fun tobe able to meet new people,” saidVander Hamm. “It’s a really greatway to learn how to act and youcan do it even if you’re shy. Justovercome that fear and be bold.”

“Missoula Children’s Theatrehas been coming here at least 15years and we’ve never repeateda performance; it’s always some-thing new,” said Joyce Sheridan,JBAB Youth Center director. “It’s

great because it provides a safe in-troduction to theater for the kidsand the whole family. They bringeverything with them - the cos-tumes, the lighting, the set - it re-ally makes it easy for the families.”

In addition to teaching funda-mentals of theater, the experiencealso provides an opportunity tolearn the lessons of group dynamics.

“We’re trying to develop lifeskills in these kids through par-ticipation in the performing arts;that’s our goal,” said Carlysle Gar-land, Missoula TAD. “We’re try-ing to teach them confidence andself-esteem, how to respect others,how to work as a team, and how tofocus [to] work from a plan, orga-nizational skills, and courage.

“These are all lessons they canapply during real-life situationslike sports teams, school work, andgroup work. They’re learning thatalthough everyone is different,and everyone comes from differ-ent paths of life, everyone is thereto accomplish the same goal.”

JBAB kids learn about performing arts, life skills

Based in Missoula, Montana, Missoula Children’s Theatre is the largest touring children’s theatre in the country.Throughout the year, 35 teams of two Tour Actor/Directors (TADs) travel the United States, as well as 16 othercountries, providing performing arts camps on military bases and in local communities. Missoula has visited JointBase Anacostia-Bolling for at least 15 years. This year’s production, “Blackbeard the Pirate,” was held July 13-17.

According to Jolly Roger, Blackbeard charged the sand crabs with protecting the location of his treasure.Each Missoula Children’s Theatre production includes costumes, sets, lights, sound andfull make-up for the cast.

Lieutenant Maynard of the Royal Sail-ors, portrayed by Syndney Vanhorn,finds Blackbeard’s treasure, and dis-covers that it contains water from thefountain of youth.

The story is told from the perspective of Jolly Roger, portrayed by Missoula TAD Ilanna Tariff (bottom left).Jolly Roger tells the story of Blackbeard’s treasure to the “beach bums.”

PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Kimberly Lahm is the Sexual Assault Re-sponse Coordinator (SARC) at Joint BaseAnacostia-Bolling (JBAB).

She is a very busy person.Lahm’s job as SARC includes training

Navy personnel around Navy District Wash-ington (NDW) on matters related to SexualAssault Prevention and Response (SAPR),and being responsible for a team of sexualassault victim advocates within the samearea.

Her area of responsibility includes JBAB,Joint Base Andrews, U.S. Naval ResearchLab, Fort Belvoir, and the Pentagon.

By the numbers - since she began her jobin September of 2013 - she’s provided morethan 550 hours of training to more thanthree-thousand people.

As a licensed marriage and family thera-pist who has been practicing for nearly 14years, Lahm is familiar with a wide varietyof situations including domestic violence,child abuse and interpersonal violence.

She’s worked with the Navy for eightyears, starting at JBAB in 2007, and muchof her career has been in family advocacy,including clinical counseling and interven-tion programs.

She’s also served as a family advocacyprogram analyst for Commander, Navy In-stallations Command.

Lahm sat down and spoke with us aboutSAPR and some of the things she’d like peo-ple to know about the program.

JBJ: Thanks for taking the time to chatwith us. So, what does your job entail?

KL: The Sexual Assault Response Coordi-nator is essentially the subject matter expertfor the SAPR program. I’m the installation

SARC here, which means that I’m the lead -there’s an Air Force SARC with whom I workvery closely, as well as a SARC for DIA (De-fense Intelligence Agency). We collaborateon awareness events.

KL: The SAPR program has two elements.The first is victim care. We want to makesure that victims of sexual assault - whetherthey’re active duty military, reservists ormilitary dependents ages 18 or older - getthe support and assistance they need. Ourprogram serves victims who are assaultedby a non-intimate perpetrator - strangers,someone the victim has been dating and‘relationships’ of that nature. Assault by anintimate partner or spouse falls under Fam-ily Advocacy.

KL: To make sure victims get the carethey need, part of our job is to make surethe sexual assault victim advocates get thetraining and credentials they need. The ad-vocates are volunteers from each of the dif-ferent commands. They’re either active dutyor DOD civilians and employees.

KL: The other aspect of this job is preven-tion. We spend a lot of time - I’d say amajor-ity of time - is spent on the prevention endof that. That’s doing training for the generalpopulation. So, I do general military train-ing, INDOCs (orientation training) and spe-cialized training for first responders.

JBJ: And the response piece?KL: Sure. What’s important for people

to know is that we have a 24/7 phone num-ber. If they’re not quite sure which programis the right choice for them, we encouragethem to call us and we’ll support them andprovide them with whatever they need ifSAPR isn’t the right fit for them.

JBJ: What programs focus on prevention?KL: The primary one is one that the Navy

is focused on as a whole is bystander in-

tervention. Part of that is empowering andeducating folks on how to intervene whenthey see things that don’t seem to sit well forthem. That includes addressing things thatare on the ‘continuum of harm’ like sexualharassment in the workplace. We spend a lotof time talking about bystander intervention.There’s a separate program theNavy the pro-vides through command leadership to trainits people on bystander intervention, but allof our training also talks about that topic.

KL: Another piece of prevention trainingwe do here every month - I meet with thenew unaccompanied housing members forthe Navy. They’re required to participate inthe training within 30 days of checking in tothe barracks. It’s a specific training to talkabout prevention efforts in the barracks.Again, a lot of the focus is on educatingthem about bystander intervention - what

it is and helping them work through whattheir options are in a variety of situations.

KL: We also spend a lot of time talkingabout consent as it relates to sexual assault,because we know a high number of sexualassaults involve alcohol. Alcohol facilitatedsexual assault is fairly prevalent throughthe general population. So we spend timetalking about taking care of friends whenthey’re out drinking and they see somebodyis vulnerable because theymay have had toomuch to drink. How do they get that personout of a potentially dangerous situation?

JBJ: How would you define bystander in-tervention?

KL: Bystander intervention involves ac-tively preventing a potentially harmful ordangerous situation. It’s identifying a po-tential situation and intervening, whetherit’s directly or indirectly. Bystanders canplay a tremendous role. Sometimes theythink that it means being a big hero andintervening when they see an assault ac-tually happening. That could be, but mostlikely what they’re going to see is a potentialvictim being targeted by someone else andgetting a gut feeling that something doesn’tfeel right. We talk about how to intervene ina way that’s tactful, but keeps that personwho is vulnerable safe.

After the interview, Lahm emphasizedthe importance of keeping a list of resourc-es for sexual assault response close at hand.To reach the 24/7 JBAB/Pentagon Hotline,dial 202-767-7272. To reach a 24/7 victimadvocate, dial 202-258-6717. The DOD SafeHelpline is also available at 1-877-995-5247.

The 579th Medical Support Squadron here held an an-nual “all hazards” field training exercise July 15 at the basemedical facility.

The exercise is designed to test the team during realworld hazard scenarios.

“We are trying to assess our disaster teams’ ability to re-spond and recover from a terrorist attack,” said Air Force 1stLt. Samantha J. Brown, squadron medical readiness officer,“making sure no matter what happens we are carrying onour medical mission.”

During the exercise, teams are tested in their ability todeal with chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and ex-plosive (CBRNE) attacks.

This CBRNE scenario involved a terrorist attack usingchemical warfare.

In themorning, the medical readiness team briefed teamleaders on the situation. Team leaders then briefed theirteams, put on decontamination suits and began to setupoperations to assist simulated patients.

In this scenario, because emergency care is 45 minutesaway, patients needed to be decontaminated and treatedbefore they could leave the base for more definitive care.

Outside of the clinic, the teams worked in stages to usherpatients through.

First, patients went through security to check for weap-ons and then for mobility to arrange transport if needed.

Next, they were brought through primary triage, whereteammembers looked for life-threating injuries and taggedthem into minimal, delayed or immediate help categoriesbased on symptoms.

Patients were then moved to decontamination, wherethey were sprayed andwashed to get rid of all contaminants.

Throughout theprocess, teamsconstantlyworked together.“We all help each other out,” said Air Force Maj. Da-

vid Schindler, general dentist and triage team chief for themedical group. “The sooner we can get them through everystage, the sooner we can help save their lives.”

Following decontamination, patients were seen by thesecondary triage team to determine if their symptoms orstatus had changed.

After assessment, they were moved into the clinic to seethe patient administration team.

From there they were seen by the minimal, delayed andimmediate clinical teams, who worked to get them the carethey needed. The mental health, pharmacy and lab teamsprovided support for the clinical teams.

The two-hour exercise is designed to put pressure on theclinic teams and prepare them in case a real world eventoccurs.

“I think it is awesome that they give us challenges andpush us in a way that we wouldn’t really expect,’ said AirForce Capt. Rahul Kumar, general dentist and decontam-

ination team chief for the medical group. “Every year welearn from it and try to get better.”

Schindler added, each year they change up the scenarioand keep the members guessing and it’s that type of chal-lenge that prepares the staff for a potential real life event.

“I think if you canmimic the sense of urgency, the hustle,the adrenaline pumping, the curveballs, you will be betterprepared to handle adversity the next time you are in a realworld event,” he said.

The Air Force selected 5,301 technicalsergeants out of 23,619 eligible for promo-tion to master sergeant July 16; the follow-ing day, selectees celebrated at Bolling Clubwith a party hosted by the Washington AreaTop III.

According to a release from the Air ForcePersonnel Center, this is the first mastersergeant promotion cycle to incorporatea two-phase selection process. The two-phase process included a phase I scorebased on Weighted Airman Promotion Sys-tem factors (enlisted performance reports,time in grade, time-in-service, decorationspoints, promotion fitness examination, andskills knowledge test scores). Eligible Air-men whose phase I scores met the cutofffor their control Air Force specialty code arethen considered for promotion during thephase II central evaluation board.

During the celebration, Joint Base An-acostia-Bolling’s (JBAB) Senior EnlistedLeader, Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Kloeppel,talked about what the selection for promo-tion to master sergeant represents.

“These individuals truly are making his-tory because this is the first go-around forthis new process,” said Kloeppel. “Rightnow it’s all about performance and staunchleadership. The board recognized leader-ship from every person in this room wear-ing those new ‘tacked-on’ stripes.”

Navy Capt. FrankMays, JBAB command-er, echoed Kloeppel’s thoughts on leader-ship, as well as encouraged the selectees tobegin the transition into their new role.

“You are currently tech sergeants, you’reknown for your technical expertise and

you’re first line supervision,” said Mays.“Now that you’ve been selected for mastersergeant, you’re expected to transition toleadership and operational competence.Trust the system; you know that it works.And as the system has worked, you’ve beenselected formaster sergeant, and you should

be able to make that transition seamlessly.”Technical Sgt. Thony Dorvil, non-com-

missioned officer of promotions at the Mili-tary Personnel Flight on JBAB said he under-stands the additional requirements associat-ed with the rank of master sergeant and he’sready to assume his new leadership role.

“Up until tech sergeant it’s about mak-ing the next stripe, but as a master sergeantit’s more about everybody else you sup-port,” said Dorvil. “As you go higher in rankyou become a bigger servant to your troopsand hopefully become that leader that theyall need.”
