It’s ready, set, dough for the Meals, Ready-to-Eat pizza.

Scientists in the Combat Feeding Direc-torate at the Natick Soldier Research, Devel-opment and Engineering Center have over-come the obstacles inherent in creating and producing a shelf-stable pizza to be included in the MRE.

Most people are used to eating pizza that’s fresh or frozen, but creating a pizza for the �� in combat presents a series of unique scien-�� =\Q��(��<��for three years in temperatures up to 80 de-grees Fahrenheit. Moreover, achieving this extended shelf life with the combination of traditional pizza ingredients is particularly ��(��

Prior to NSRDEC’s Combat Feeding Di-rectorate taking on the challenge, developing a pizza that meets all these requirements had

never been done before. Fortunately for the Soldier, CFD was up to the task. CFD scien-tists are longtime experts in developing foods for the military and NASA.

CFD used a combination of technologies involving water activity, pH levels and in-novative packaging to create a shelf-stable pizza. Initial pizza prototypes developed by CFD were successful at the lab level.

Z�(�� food industry began larger scale production of the pizza. Foods made for the commercial market do not need to withstand the strin-gent requirements of foods developed for the military or the space program. CFD’s exper-tise and experience were needed to solve the problems posed by larger scale production.

CFD conducted three large-scale tests to make sure the pizza was producible at two different food processing plants. The tests were also carried out to verify the capability of the plants to produce pizza that adhered to ��&��"Z��&�� &�� &�� &��

quality.Combat feeding subject matter experts

provided on the ground technical support during the multiple large-scale production tests to ensure the pizza’s success.

“Partnership with industry is essential to ensure that what works in government labo-ratories is practical and achievable in a com-mercial full-scale production setting,” said Stephen Moody, director of NSRDEC’s CFD.

CFD then conducted a user evaluation of the commercially produced item with troops. Based on positive results, CFD recommend-ed the pizza for inclusion in the MRE.

“This product is a great example of us-ing food science to meet the challenging and unique requirements for military rations,” said Moody.

~��(��<��&�&&��&��be assembled into MREs beginning in March 2018.

Thanks to the hardworking military food experts at CFD, Soldiers will get their piece of the pie and then some, in the near future.

Thriving at Fort Jackson


By LATRICE LANGSTONFort Jackson Leader

A group of more than 80 individuals passed through the gates of Fort Jackson March 15 to get a glimpse of the day-to-day operations, see how Soldiers train and the initial steps of that training.

As a fairly new arrival to Fort Jackson, I joined the tour and along with the others, were transported in the same white buses used to transport trainees entering into service.

The 120th Adjutant General Battalion (Reception) was our ��&��$�� <�� "��Jackson. I felt both honored and unworthy to sit in the battal-ion classroom, where so many of our past and present heroes and heroines have sat before. Honored for the opportunity to walk where countless men and women who have dedicated their lives to protect my freedom have walked and unworthy because I never found the courage to do what ��

We then headed to Hilton Field where we witnessed the 2nd Bat-talion, 13th Infantry Regiment graduation. I found it amazing to see the stands packed with Fam-ily members and friends, showing support for the new Soldiers on the ��

After graduation we toured the Basic Combat Training Museum, observed trainees navigat-�� Drill Sergeant Academy Dining Facility.

The most exciting part of the tour for me was visiting the Basic Combat Training barracks because it reminded me of a memorable, albeit slightly embarrassing, time on a photo shoot.

On my second day on the job, I went over to a company to complete a work task; while looking for cadre I walked into ��<��(�<��$��;��<��-tive smell of cleaning supplies and a trainee letting me know that I was in the wrong place.

I’ve seen depictions of military barracks on exhibit in mu-seums but the opportunity to see the barracks that our trainees live in now was super interesting. I really wanted to see if the barracks were as clean as they smelled. More often than not, the only people who have any knowledge of what the inside of a bay looks like are the individuals who had lived in them for eight weeks, the drill sergeants and the cadre. Here I was an outsider being given the opportunity to see what it was all about and for the record; yes it did look as clean as it smelled.

The Come Meet Your Army tour delivered on its promise and I would encourage anyone who has served or know some-one who has served to attend this tour for a better understand-ing of what goes into training here at Fort Jackson.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. The theme for 2018 is “Strong Communities Strengthen Families.” There are three key messages to consider this year.

~�� $�� <�� (��+��&��you must stay a step ahead of your child and sometimes build on your parenting skills. That might mean taking a parenting class &�� ^� � �� Family time together. Play is a good way to get to know your child. Attend parent-teacher conferences. Attend and cheer on your child when she plays sports. Learn all you can about

developmental milestones and celebrate these achievements with your child.

The second key is be attentive. Consis-tent care and supervision help kids thrive. Put down your phone, iPad, tablet or what-ever gaming device and pay attention to your child. Distracted parenting may lead to child neglect due to improper supervision. Listen �� &�� play with your toddler. Bat a few balls around with your school age child. Get to know your ��^�(��&��(�� Let your child know that you really love him.

The third key is be supportive. Using car-ing words and doing small actions make a <� ��((��+&&��^��-

ments. Let her know that you appreciate her. Thank her for cleaning the kitchen. Thank him for taking out the trash. Saying thank you is just a small way of expressing appreciation. If she knows what you like she will be more apt to repeat the good behavior. Spend time with each child when time permits. A simple outing for ice cream can be a great bonding experience.

Within a few years your child will be an adult and on his own. Parental satisfaction can be achieved when he says, “Mom, Dad, do you remember when …” You smile because you know your informed, attentive and sup-portive parenting skills will be repeated with your grandchildren.

�;��$�� -tion to be a profession? What characteristics �� &��(��profession?

The Army white paper “The Profession of Arms” describes professions as entities that “produce uniquely expert work.” They are entities that have public trust to provide unique services to American society. From �� &��&��meets this criterion because it defends and provides security to the American people. It is a profession because the American people entrusts it with their security. It is a trust derived from the mandate given to it through the Constitution to provide the country security and to defend it “against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

The service ethos, Warrior Ethos, Consti-��(��(��make the military a profession of arms.

Military service ethos is inherent in the ethics that governs the military, which ensures the military is accountable for their actions to maintain public trust. It is on this &��&��&�<��military can defend and provide security to American society without abusing its powers. In addition, our military is subor-dinate to civilian authority. Only a profes-�� relationship. The service ethos ensures the military lives up to the public trust.

The Warrior Ethos embodies the cama-raderie Soldiers exhibit as members of the military. It is a shared value and bonds that Soldiers exhibit with their comrades due to a common identity. The Warrior Ethos is a �� -tion dedicated to the service of the society. The Warrior Ethos is what drives Soldiers to risk personal injury and even death to save ��(��%��^��~��%��^��&�� nor leave a fallen comrade. On that pledge, %��(�� &��(��&��(�� beliefs greater than they are.

EIBContinued from Page 3

For Pfc. Marco Salas, from 2nd Battalion, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment at the National Train-ing Center in Fort Irwin, going through the testing has been a pleasant surprise due to the cadre help-ing him during train up for the testing.

Salas said he was at Fort Jackson because “NTC doesn’t have their own EIB (testing) anymore.”

“The cadre is great here,” he said. “They do a great job of explaining it. If you don’t understand �� $�� &�(�� _��can better understand how to complete it properly.

Y�� (��$��earned his EIB in 2007 when he was at Fort Polk.

“When I was a younger pup and didn’t know any better, didn’t know what it meant; I just went out and trained on it” and got an EIB.

It wasn’t as easy as that, he added.“It’s tough. I think historically it’s been like

15 percent (of candidates) across the board every year” earn the EIB, Young said. “For some guys ��(��(��^�� task.”

~�� Q;V� �� (�� (�� <��messing up on an event can cause them to be dis-��`��%�� &��]��overs” it depends on the event.

If they “no go” on any individual tasks “like ri-��$��&��~��^��_�Y�� If the candidate messes up on an event they can get retested, but “if they double no-go any task or single no-go three different tasks they are done.”

Some of the tasks seem simple, but luck can play a factor.

Young said hand grenades are some of the

toughest because “there is a little luck there. If it lands on that fuse it can go any direction. You have to be a pretty skilled guy with a grenade to where you are, kind of, ruling luck out.”

Salas, a rookie candidate said taking time to pay attention to the slightest detail pays off.

]~��(��&��(��(��&�� -

tention to detail,” he said. “What usually gets peo-ple is that they forget something. You either get out of sequence or you catch it quickly so you don’t get out of sequence. It pays to pay attention to detail.”

Candidates will continue testing until Friday when they will face a daunting road march before being awarded the skill badge during a ceremony.

With the high operational tempo of drill sergeants and others on Fort Jackson having a one-stop Soldier Readiness Processing program aides leaders access-ing their troops quickly. Some SRPs in the Army look only at a Soldier’s medical readiness – not Fort Jack-son.

The SRPs on Fort Jackson take it one step further – they look holistically at the whole Soldier not just for their medical needs but for others like getting knowl-edge of programs like the Army Substance Abuse Pro-

gram as well.One of the aims of the Holistic SRP is “to make

sure they have all their requirements done and two to make sure they are medically” taken care of, said Staff Sgt. Nathanial Alejandro with the Reception Medical Center, while Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 34th Infan-try Regiment and the U.S. Army Chaplain Center and School cycled through.

It’s not just medical. “It’s all the other places too” like Army Community Service, Army Substance Abuse Program, and Military and Family Life Coun-seling,” he added. “If they need shots or hearing we can give them that too.”

ArmsContinued from Page 11

If the military is not a professional or-ganization, individuals within it can pur-��&�� &�-nity and disregard to the group’s shared values.

Additionally, the Constitution provides the legal framework for the military as a profession. Under Title 10 of the U.S Code, Congress established the legal framework for the Army and mandated it in conjunc-tion with other branches of the military to provide security, protect and defend Unit-ed States’ territories and interests. This mandate is borne out of the trust the public has in the military as a professional body, seen as being capable to defend American society. If the public did not have such ��&��(�-sionalism, Congress will not have given it such mandate, or have faith it will submit to civilian authority. However, the military is a professional organization, guided by ethics and values that maintains the public

trust by remaining subordinate to the civil-ian authority and the constitution.

The oath is another attribute that makes the military a profession. Every member of the military takes the oath before join-ing.

The oath reminds every member of the organization’s values he or she must up-hold. The oath binds every person coming into the military to conform to standards, values and ethics that guide the service. By taking the oath, all members of the military agree to conduct themselves ac-cordingly or risk punishment for violating rules.

”

The oath binds ev-ery person coming

into the military to

conform to stan-dards, values and

ethics that guide

the service.

When Winnie Tataw was named Fort Jackson’s Youth of the Year for the second time recently, it culminated years of hard work and effort to become the best youth ambassador she could be.

“She has been and re-mains a sterling example of a sincere and dedicated member of the Fort Jackson Boys and Girls Club,” he said. “She places the well-<�� (� �� <�� own and this is the mark of a good leader … she has been �� &�� (��younger club members and many of them look forward to seeing and interacting with her daily.”

Tataw said she began attending the club after her parents signed her up but kept going “because of the amazing and car-ing staff and colorful personalities of the youth center kids.”

She credits the club as being an integral part of her success.Tataw said the club “lets the kids of the community connect

with other in the community as well as build stronger bonds” with each other. The title of Youth of the Year “prepares me to be more social and independent while also being a “well-rounded leader,” she added.

Katona said he appreciated the support of the com-munity and agencies that participated in the connection day.

The connection event was important to Katona be-cause it hits him right at home.

“I have a 7-year-old, 11-year-old and a 12-year-old so this type of events really hits home,” he said, “and the more we can get Families and kids involved in the Army with their Moms and Dads is a big win.”

For Katona’s spouse Kathy, Saturday’s event was about face-to-face interaction.

“I think the age of technology has created a isolated community, ” Kathy said. “I thought an event focused on face to face interaction would be the best thing to build a connected community. Community is important; it will take time to build the community but it’s impor-tant to take the time to build especially in the military.”

The 193rd’s Connecting Day / Informational Day at the Solomon Center also provided an opportunity to just relax.

“Day in and day out Soldiers and their families mem-bers work very hard to keep the operations of the unit going forward,” said Command Sgt. Maj. James Hill, the brigade’s senior enlisted leader. “So today is a day where we can all come together, let our hair back, so-cialize and get to know each other while having a good time in the process and our kids and Family members get to connect.”
