‘Directly from the source’Command Sgt. Maj. David Davenport, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command senior enlisted leader, speaks to members of Fort Jackson’s 120th Ad-jutant General Battalion (Reception) during a mentoring session at the University of South Carolina’s Reserve Officer Training Corps Department, Jan. 31.


By ROBERT TIMMONSFort Jackson Leader

For Command Sgt. Maj. David Davenport, Training and Doctrine Command’s senior enlisted leader, getting out and talking with Soldiers is the best way to train.

On Tuesday, Davenport met with Soldiers from Fort Jackson’s 120th Adjutant General Battalion (Reception) �� %��'� )� �� #��%�� ])��Training Corps Department, to help mentor them to be-come better leaders and get more involved in their train-ing.

� ��$�� < ��they arrive to start basic training on Fort Jackson

“It is a huge difference between talking with your Sol-diers and talking at your Soldiers,” Davenport said. “My leadership style over the years is talking with the Soldiers because I don’t have all the answers. If you involve peo-ple in the discussion you’d be amazed about what you can learn or get a good idea to kind of build … to think about the future of our NCO corps.”

Davenport discussed how various Army programs in-cluding promotions, the Army Career Tracker, the NCO 20/20 program, and how select-train-educate-promote, or STEP, will help build the Army’s future leaders.

For the 120th’s top enlisted Soldier getting Davenport to come down and speak to his battalion was special.

“One of TRADOC’s leading priorities is leader de-velopment,” said Command Sgt. Maj. Christian Carr, the 120th’s senior enlisted leader. “I thought there was no one better to come and talk to us about leader development than the TRADOC (command) sergeant major.

“It says a lot to have him come down to the battal-ion level to talk to a group of Soldiers. It just shows how much he cares about Soldiers.”

Carr’s battalion was the only unit on Fort Jackson Dav-enport was coming to speak with he said.

“He’s only coming to see us, so it’s kind of cool.”

Davenport travels roughly four days per week to meet and talk with the troops.

“I just think you’ve got to reach out and talk with them,” Davenport said. “They can hear directly from the �� -ions come into play about why we are doing something. So they get a chance to ask me directly and hopefully I am able to explain it to them in manner that creates buy-in.”

|�� )�� there is no greater position in the Army than being a leader of Soldiers,” he added. When given that opportunity, lead-ers should focus on leading and taking care of Soldiers.

Davenport advised leaders to “take the hard jobs. Do � ��%��'�*��'��X��)��Soldiers are the center of your leadership style.”

For the NCO in charge of the battalion’s personnel sec-tion, the mentorship session was an excellent way for him to improve his leadership skills and provided building tools to create young leaders.

Staff Sgt. Chong Kang said, “I think it’s a very good opportunity, I mean it’s the TRADOC CSM, and you usu-ally wouldn’t get an opportunity like this. I think it’s great we got him to come down and train us about the NCO 20/20 and the things that are actually going on (in the Army).

“It will help me to lead my Soldiers and develop them as well.”

Do the very best you can and make sure first and foremost our Soldiers are the

Changes made to Army sexual assault policy

BEASLEY

By DEMETRIA MOSLEYFort Jackson Leader

Her black robe drapes against her frame as she leans forward in her seat with a look of confusion on her face. While resting her chin on her hand, which is curved into a small ball, she looks down at the defendant and says:

“Counsel, I don’t even know where to start with that analysis.”

About 25 years ago, she had been a hard <�X��<�� )�� hallways to her classes, now Lit. Col. Pau-lette Burton of the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals comes back to her alma mater as an associate judge.

“When I came in everything still looked the same,” said Burton. “I had to catch my breath because it felt like I never left.”

As part of an outreach program for the Army Judge Advocate General Corps, Burton, along with chief judge Brig. Gen. Stuart W. Risch and senior judge Col.

Kenneth Tozzi, visited the University of South Carolina’s Law School Jan. 24 - 25.

During their visit to the school, the judges talked with students during a lun-cheon, taught a trial advocacy class and listen to oral arguments for a real case.

“Having them here is giving us a di-verse view of law then what we see day to day in law school,” said Anthony D’elia < ��%��%��'�� '��is a member of the Servicemembers and Veterans in Law organization on USC.

The judges visit four law schools per year. They decided to come to USC be-cause of Burton’s connection to the school.

The oral arguments took place in the Strom Thurmond auditorium. Students were able to witness real Army lawyers go before the judges to make their cases.

“My heart dropped with I walked into the auditorium,” said Burton. “The last time I was in here I was taking the bar exam. It made me nervous all over again.”

Risch said their visit to law schools

around the country isn’t to serve as a means to recruit for the corps, but to let people, who otherwise wouldn’t know anything about it, become familiar with what they do.

“When people see uniforms, they start asking questions,” said Capt. Amanda Wil-liams, a commissioner for the JAG Corps.

USC law student Sgt. Edward Brash-er, a National Guardsman from Mullens, South Carolina, says although he really enjoys law, he likes the idea of being able to be both an infantryman and a future lawyer.

“I’m an infantryman and I really like it,” said Brasher. “I’m not sure if I’ll join V^�� < �� +� �� <� � �� *�� +�wouldn’t be able to do both.”

JAG was established in 1775. It is the ��<��

“I always have to tell people when they’re interested in JAG that you’re al-ways going to be a Soldier no matter what,” he said. “You’re not a lawyer then �� <�'��You’re Soldiers that also happen to be law-yers.”

Soldiers who ‘happen to be lawyers’‘You’re always a Soldier first,’ explains chief judge of the Army court of criminal appeals, Brig. Gen. Stuart Risch, to a group of law students at Uni-versity of South Carolina Jan. 24. ‘You have to be a jack of all trades, not a one trick pony.’

IMCOM program helps save $900 millionBy LESLIE HARGETTand WILLIAM BRADNERIMCOM

Unemployment compensation for ��%�� ^��'��year 2016 dropped to the lowest amount recorded in 13 years.

The Army ended the year at $172.8 million, according to the Department of Labor’s unemployment compensation report. Army expenditures had peaked ��$��~>�>�� time expenditures dropped below $200 million since 2003.

In the last four years the Army has saved over $900 million in cost avoid-ance for unemployment compensation expenditures through programs like the IMCOM Soldier for Life Transition Assistance Program, which prepares �� )�� '�� civilian sector when they leave active service.

The program provides transitioning

services to Soldiers who have completed at least 180 days of continuous active duty service. SFL-TAP consists of com-prehensive three-day workshops at se-lected IMCOM installations worldwide. Professionally-trained facilitators from �� '�� %�� )�� -tary family support services, the DOL and Department of Veterans Affairs present the workshops.

�� ^�-my’s bill for unemployment compensa-tion, along with the reduction in the na-tional Veteran unemployment rate, can be attributed to the diligence of the teams at IMCOM’s SFL-TAP centers who are �� important mission,” said IMCOM Com-mand Sgt. Maj. Melissa Judkins.

IMCOM executes SFL-TAP by pro-viding resources, guidance and support to 73 centers world-wide. The command markets the program to Soldiers, pro-vides direct funding and manpower, de-velops standardized training and moni-

tors the execution of the program.When Soldiers receive unemploy-

ment compensation from a state agency, DOL bills the Army for reimbursement. Reducing the number of Soldiers receiv-ing compensation by assisting them in their transition to the civilian sector ben-��*� �� ^��'�� )��%-ernment in cost avoidance savings.

In 2016 alone, over 117,000 Soldiers successfully transitioned into the civil-ian community using SFL-TAP services.

“We are excited to see that more ^��'�%��)��they transition off of active duty service, �� )�<�� %�� )�� -ployment compensation,” said Walter Herd, SFL-TAP director, based out of the U.S. Army Human Resources Com-mand at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

Although experience shows veterans generally enjoy a favorable employment rate in the nation’s job market, many vet-��'��)��successfully in the civilian labor market.

SFL-TAP Centers help Soldiers alleviate ��'� ��'�� )��and prepare them for success.

IMCOM SFL-TAP Centers have partnered with the DOL, Department of Defense, the Small Business Adminis-tration, and VA to provide employment and training information to Soldiers and their eligible spouses within one year of their separation or two years of their re-tirement from the military.

“This is a positive step for our Sol-diers and our nation as we continue to support and provide the assistance Sol-diers need as they transition off of ac-tive-duty service,” Judkins said.

“However, as we transition 90,000-plus Soldiers per year for the next 3-5 years, it’s imperative for the Army to maintain the momentum to keep Veteran unemployment low and continue to re-duce UCX for the Army,” she concluded.

Rose Edmond retires after 30 yearsRose Edmond speaks with guests Jan. 30 at her retirement ceremony. Edmond worked for more than 30 years at Fort Jackson.

By DEMETRIA MOSLEYFort Jackson Leader

Rose Edmond pauses for a few sec-onds to gather her thoughts.

While searching for the right words, she looks out into the crowd and into the faces of the people who, for the last three decades, have supported her. These are the faces of Service members, coworkers, friends and family.

Edmond grips the microphone in her hand and tries not to let her emotions get to her.

“I was trying to hold it all together, but today’s going to do it for me,” she said.

After 30 years of service to military personnel and families, Edmond retired from being Fort Jackson’s Chief of Child and Youth Services.

“I think we in child services are the most hardest working personnel in the Garrison,” said Edmond. “I couldn’t have

done anything without the team of people that supported me.”

A retirement ceremony was thrown for her on Jan. 30. More than 100 people showed up to see Edmond off.

Chris Welde, who works at Child and Youth Services Headquarters, said Ed-mond was her mentor.

“We both started out together in this �� <�� and she’s still a legend now,” said Welde.

Edmond says that best part of her job was seeing the growth of childcare at Fort Jackson. She especially takes pride in the extending of childcare hours to 4 a.m. to 9 p.m. which placed less stress on drill sergeants with children.

“We start off at a job, then in a few years move to something else,” said Gar-rison Commander Col. James Ellerson Jr. “To have 30 years in one place shows a true commitment to what you believe in.”

‘So I guess I can’t change your mind about retiring?’ asked FMWR Director Dan Ahern, right, during a retirement ceremony Jan. 30 for Fort Jackson’s Chief of Child and Youth Services Rose Edmond, left.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for U.S. womenBy VICKY DERDERIANArmy Public Health Nurse

With the recent death of actress Carrie Fisher, best known for her role as Princess Leia in the “Star Wars” franchise, focus is not only on the untimely demise of this actress, but also on her cause of death at age 60. Fisher died as a result of a heart attack which is directly related to coronary heart disease.

The fact is: heart disease is the number one killer of women, responsible for one out of three deaths each year.

February is dedicated to heart healthy awareness. Heart disease is the leading cause of death among both men and women in the United States. While heart disease refers to numerous cardiac conditions, a heart attack, or medically referred to as a myocardial infarction, occurs when the coronary arteries become blocked and oxygenated blood cannot reach the heart. �%��'��'��*��=Q>��̂ ��(��heart attack, but the signs and symptoms are often very different for women. The variance is often at-tributed to the difference in the plaque formation in the arteries.

Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances in the blood.

While women may have the classic signs of se-vere chest pain with radiation down an arm or up the neck, many women may describe their symptoms

��X��zz��<��X��shortness of breath, fatigue, and back pain. It is vital that women are aware of non-classical signs of a heart attack so that treatment is not delayed. Statistics show that women are more likely to put off seeking care longer than men. One study showed that the median delay in time from the onset of symptoms was 54 hours for women and 16 hours for men.

Prevention is the key, and knowing what your risk factors are and which are manageable can make all the difference.

The website “My Life Check” (mylifecheck.heart.org) was developed by the American Heart Associa-tion with the goal to improve health by educating � ��*�� z��%��know their numbers for: total cholesterol, hdl (good) cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and body mass index or BMI. This site provides numerical pa-rameters and interventions to improve the numbers and outcome in the area or areas that are inconsistent with the suggested norms.

The Center for Disease Control and the American College of Cardiology have published staggering data and statistics that focus on manageable risks which have directly affected heart disease in women:

� More than 200,000 women die each year from ��X��%��'��*��

� 48 percent of adult women have a total choles-terol of over 200mg/dl (normal is below 200).

� 58 percent of Caucasian women, 80 percent of African-American women, and 74 percent of Hispan-ic-American women are overweight or obese.

� 50 percent of Caucasian women, 64 percent of African-American women , 60 percent of Hispanic <�� >�� )� �^��@[�� +��women are sedentary and get no leisure time physical activity.
