If you aren’t a Soldier leaving the military or a veteran seeking a career change, please find one and tell him or her my story. The Army Career and Alumni Program works, and I am proof.

ACAP opened the door to my second career. I re-tired from the U.S. Army after 22 years in September 2005 and went to work as a Department of the Army Civilian the next month. I

started with the program a year earlier, which al-lowed me plenty of time to hone my resume to perfec-tion. Without the support of ACAP during the resume process, I would have been lost.

ACAP also taught me the ins and outs of the Army’s Civilian Personnel Online website – cpol.army.mil. I learned to use the job de-scriptions on the Army’s FASCLASS service, which helped me develop my re-sume. The Veterans’ Affairs and Department of Labor

briefing guided me as I re-tired and started drawing VA benefits. I got the in-formation I needed to com-plete my bachelor’s degree using the VA Vocational Rehabilitation Program. You have to engage in order to receive something out of it.

Without the Army Career Alumni Program, I would not have had the opportu-nity to start a second career after the military.

ACAP has been around for more than 20 years in different forms. Today, we

need it more than ever. Unemployment compensa-tion for veterans reached its highest peak in fiscal 2012 – around $515 million.

In the face of rising veteran unemployment, Congress passed and the president signed the Veterans Opportunity to Work to Hire Heroes (VOW Act). Part of the act requires the Defense Department to prepare all service members departing the military after Nov. 28, 2012, for a non-stressful en-try into the job market.

Through ACAP, the Army was already prepared to meet the VOW Act re-quirement. The U.S. Army Installation Management Command operates ACAP centers on 64 garrisons

around the world in support of this Army-wide program.

ACAP designed a five-day track of comprehensive training to prepare the ser-vice member and Family for transition. The program takes a strategic approach to comprehensive resume preparation, and job prepa-ration training, interview techniques and other steps toward successful civilian life. ACAP also organizes hiring events and has taken the lead in getting Soldiers hired into the private sector. The goal is for every depart-ing Soldier to have a job.

But ACAP is more than mandatory VOW Act train-ing. Retiring Soldiers can use ACAP training and placement services up to

two years before retirement. Non-retiring Soldiers can start one year before sepa-ration. Reserve component Soldiers on active duty for 180 day or more can take part. Non-retiring veterans and non-Army retirees can use ACAP for up to 180 days after separation. Army retirees can use ACAP on a space available basis for the rest of their lives.

My story is proof ACAP has been there for Soldiers. Today’s ACAP does an even better job. Isn’t that worth passing along?

Until last year, the Social Security Administration sent tax-payers an annual statement show-ing a complete record of their tax-able earnings as well as estimated retirement, disability and survivor benefits based on those earnings. Unfortunately, budget constraints brought an end to those yearly mailings.

But there’s good news: Social Security has resumed mailing pa-per statements to workers 60 and

older who aren’t already receiv-ing benefits. And, they recently launched a new Social Security Statement tool that allows you to access the same information on-line.

Once you’ve created an account, you can log in anytime and:

-ability and survivor benefits avail-able to you under different work, earnings and retirement age sce-narios.

your Social Security Statement. To create your online account,

go to www.ssa.gov/mystatement and follow the directions. You must have a valid email address, Social Security number, U.S. mailing ad-dress and be at least age 18.

You’ll need to verify your iden-tity by providing personal infor-mation (birth date, Social Security number, current address, etc.) and complete several questions with answers only you should know. Social Security contracts with credit bureau Experian to design these questions based on their re-cords about your credit history.

Once your identity has been verified, you can create a pass-

word-protected account. Social Security emphasizes that you may sign into or create an account to ac-cess only your own information. Unauthorized use could subject you to criminal and/or civil penal-ties.

It’s important to review your Social Security statement at least annually to ensure your on-file infor-mation is correct. For example, make sure that your taxable earnings have been reported correctly by your em-ployer – or you, if self-employed.

If you spot any errors, contact Social Security at (800) 772-1213, or visit your local office. You’ll need copies of your W-2 form or tax return for any impacted years.

Twelve of the 23rd Quartermaster Brigade’s fin-est Soldiers demonstrated their urban combat and other battle skills during the second day of the Best Warrior Competition here Tuesday.

This annual competition at Fort Lee tests competencies in several performance-based tasks. It is a three-day annual event that encompasses five individual competitions – Soldier and non-commissioned officer of the year, instructor of the year, advanced in-dividual training platoon sergeant of the year and retention NCO of the year. The winners will repre-sent the brigade in higher-level competitions scheduled to be held during the coming months.

BEST WARRIOR

Quartermaster Soldiers compete for top honors

On Monday, the contes-tants participated in an Army Physical Fitness Test, ap-peared before a board of se-nior noncommissioned offi-cers and completed a written exam/essay.

Tuesday, which might be described as Best Warrior’s “meat and potatoes” course, required Soldiers to complete a six-mile road march and later lead a squad through a building with suspected enemy fighters. They were required to strategically enter a room, subdue hostiles and extract the target us-ing by-the-book techniques.

Pfc. William Doty, a SOY con-testant, said he had a misstep on one of the tasks but was none-theless satisfied with his perfor-mance, especially the room- clear-ing portion.

“We came in quietly,” he said, “which made it easy to go in and take what we needed.”

The room-clearing event en-compassed several tasks the Army considers essential for survival in combat to include rendering first aid and reacting to chemi-cal threats, said Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Cameron, NCO in charge of the event.

“We’re doing this type of stuff all the time over in Afghanistan,” he said. “No matter what the military occupational specialty is, they’re still going to utilize these techniques just like those in the combat arms career field. These skills are part of the foundation for all Soldiers.”

Staff Sgt. James Phillips, a par-ticipant in the IOY contest, said

the competition was “fun” and something that serves as a refresher on foundational skills.

“It really gives you the opportunity to brush up on things you haven’t done in a while, assess how other peo-ple accomplish it, and maybe take it back and learn from it,” said the 262nd QM Battalion Soldier.

Sgt. 1st Class Ramsey Omuoreh, an AIT platoon ser-geant representing the 266th QM Bn., agreed but added the competitive spirit of the event pushes the contestants to their limits.

“It’s a good time for us to come together and share ideas,” he said. “It brings out the best in the best.”

Best Warrior concluded Wednesday, and the scores of the competitors were not disclosed. The winners will be announced Friday at an awards ceremony scheduled to take place at the Aerial Delivery and Field ServicesDepartment auditorium.

A kick-off obser-vance for the 2013 Army Emergency Relief Campaign took place Feb. 28 at the post theater.

The event featured the Strong Beginnings class from Child, Youth and School Services and the 392nd Army Band, and it was organized to increase awareness of the annual drive and the AER pro-gram.

This year’s goal is $105,000. Last year, Fort Lee received more than $1.36 million in assistance, with more than $112,557 of that being grants.

The campaign runs

through May 15. All con-tributions are tax deduct-ible and can be made to the general fund or to specified programs such as educa-tion scholarships or widow assistance.

Active duty Soldiers and retirees can make dona-tions via allotments, while all others can contribute by cash or check.

The guest speaker was retired Command Sgt. Maj. Charles Durr Jr., the emer-gency assistance administra-tor for AER. These kickoff events are important, he said, because they give Soldiers an opportunity to learn more about the program, and while donations are impor-tant, bringing awareness to the program and campaign are vital as well.

AER campaignkicks off

“In the past four years, AER has assisted more than 270,000 Soldiers and dis-persed $315 million, with nearly 20 percent in the form of grants,” said Durr. “The campaign period is a great

time to make sure Soldiers and their families fully understand eligibility for assistance and who has ac-cess to the funds.”

Unit points of contact are available to accept do-

nations and will provide more information as the campaign continues.

“AER is important be-cause the assistance pro-vides help in a variety of emergency situations, in-

cluding travel, food, mort-gage, utilities, vehicle re-pair, medical and dental care or funeral expenses,” said Stephanie Parker, Army Community Service director.

Amy PerryCol. Rodney D. Edge and Command Sgt. Maj. Sheila Nelson, the Fort Lee garrison command team, sign their Army Emergency Relief campaign forms during the annual kickoff Feb. 28 at the post theater. Fort Lee’s goal for this year is $105,000.

DALLAS – Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye, Hulk and Black Widow are all making their way to military installations around the world via one million free comic books published exclusively for the armed forces by the Army & Air Force Exchange Service and Marvel Custom Solutions.

The new full-color comic, “Double Vision,” opens five years in the future, with the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes locked into a desperate battle with the hi-tech ter-rorist group Hydra, who are finally on the brink of conquering America. But when the rebellious Hawkeye begins asking the wrong questions, can the Avengers uncov-er a sinister conspiracy before it’s too late?

“We are thrilled that the Exchange and Marvel continue to work together to pro-vide these complimentary comics to mili-tary members serving our country at home and abroad,” said the Exchange’s Senior

Enlisted Advisor Chief Master Sgt. Tony Pearson. “We could not have imagined when the first military-only comic came out in 2005 that, eight years later, the 14th install-ment in the series would be shipping out.”

“Everyone at Marvel considers the members of the armed forces to be our true heroes, so we’ve assembled a top-tier creative team to deliver 22 pages of action and adventure in the Mighty Marvel man-ner,” said Editor Bill Rosemann. “Thanks to writer William Harms and artist Tom Grummett, you’ll see Captain America sling his shield, Thor hurl his hammer…and the Hulk eat hamburgers. Only the men and women of the U.S. military can get this collector’s item issue, and best of all, it’s free!”

The Avengers in “Double Vision” is cur-rently available at Exchanges worldwide.

Eighteen military chefs got the 38th Annual Military Culinary Arts Competitive Training Event sizzling Tuesday as they competed for Armed Forces Chef of the Year.

The competition – which earns the top chef one of the most prestigious individual titles of the event – pits the food-preparers against a mystery basket. They are required to cook a four-course meal for four people and do it all in four hours.

Chief Warrant Officer 3 Charles Talley Jr., this year’s coordinator for the event, said they played it safe with the baskets this year.

“We wanted to be more fiscally responsible,” he said. “The baskets still had challenges.”

Some of the items the chefs received were quail, scallops, whole flounder, rack of lamb, quinoa, cranberries, Edam cheese and white yams, among other ingredients.

“If I generated a mystery basket that had too many odd items, are they really going to be able to bring that back to their dining facility?” Talley asked. “You can get quail in a dining facility. You can get lamb or flounder. They aren’t going to have escargot in a dining facility.”

In the past, the competitors have received some odd items, and Sgt. 1st Class Motavia Alston, an independent competitor, said this year’s mystery basket was a relief to see.

“Two years ago, I got frog legs in a mystery basket,” he said. “This year, there was nothing like that. It was much easier.”

Alston – who has competed for several years – said the event went a lot smoother for him this time.

“Each year, my game plan gets a lot better,” he said. “Overall, I was pretty pleased with how everything came out. I wasn’t late so that was the key thing.”

Another participant who has competed for several years, finally achieved his goal here. Senior Chief Petty Officer Derrick Davenport, an enlisted aide for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, received the event’s only gold medal. Although the official announcement of who won the title won’t be made until March 15, Davenport is relieved his hard work has finally paid off.

“I felt like it was four years of preparation,” he said, after seeing the medal tally. “It feels good – it’s a weight off my shoulders. It doesn’t mean I’m going to stop competing, it just means I’ve reached a goal that I was striving for.

“I work with two previous winners of the Chef of the Year, so I always get a hard time from them,” Davenport continued. “That was part of my motivation to do my best, not get so stressed and have some fun with cooking this year. “

During the event, he said he felt like he was doing better than he has in the past, although he was worried after receiving the critique from the judges.

“In the critique, the judges are very firm and let you know areas where you can improve, so I thought I didn’t do as well as I thought I did,” he said. “When I saw the gold medal (on the medal tally) there, I was shocked.”

The competitive training event concludes with an award ceremony March 15, and public days will continue through March 13. The public is invited to the Post Field House, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., during the public viewing days to check out the military chefs in action.

Discussing his life-changing encoun-ters with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and thanking U.S. troops for being “beacons of hope” for America’s future, actor Tim Reid delivered a powerful keynote address dur-ing the Feb. 28 African-American/Black History Month observance here.

Reid’s talk was preceded by a 90-min-ute talent showcase that included singing, dancing, poetry readings and a mini-play titled “Journeys,” performed by members of the 71st Transportation Battalion.

A jazz ensemble from the 392nd Army Band opened the observance and received a standing ovation following intense brass and bass-driven performances of two well-known Aretha Franklin tunes, “Chain of Fools” and “Respect,” featuring Staff Sgt. Terra Allen as the vocalist. The entertain-ment lineup also included the Virginia State University Sankofa Dance Theater group, Thomasine Bowling-Hill (poetry) and Crystal Bullock (dance), students from Carter G. Woodson Middle School (his-toric recitations), and Kameela Wadsworth and 2nd Lt. Agaalofa Tauane (vocalists).

Opening his remarks, Reid said, “I am humbled by the opportunity to join you today on this, the last day of our annual celebration of the history of Americans with African descent. And I have to say it was one of the most colorful and variety-packed observances I’ve ever seen. Leave it to the military to put on one heck of a show.”

He then highlighted some of his bet-ter-known television characters like Venus Flytrap on “WKRP in Cincinnati,” Downtown Brown on the show “Simon and Simon” and Tia and Tamara’s father in the WB series “Sister, Sister.”

“It has been one heck of a ride,” he said, “and I’ve met many people of great char-acter along the way.”

Recalling the influences of his grand-mother who only had a 6th-grade educa-tion but was the “wisest person he ever knew,” Reid said his first encounter with MLK was her idea.

“I was a problem teenager ... a hoodlum ... one of those at-risk black kids from a broken home living in poverty. I was also an underachiever and hell bent on stay-ing that way,” said Reid, who hails from Norfolk.

“It reached the point where I was fac-ing the possibility of being sent to re-form school, and my grandmother called the pastor of her church and asked him

to speak to me. They refused to give up. They saw something that I didn’t know was there.”

The pastor told Reid that Dr. King would be speaking at the church on Sunday and asked for help with security. As a result, he and a friend had an opportunity to spend several hours with the famed civil rights leader.

“It was like being with a rock star,” he said. “I had never met anyone like that in my life. It was clear to see that he was a man of great character. He had gravitas. And, after that eventful day, I decided that if education could turn out someone like that, maybe going to school wasn’t a bad idea and the civil rights thing that I always heard a lot about might be something I should get involved in.”

Three years later, on Aug. 28, 1963, Reid and some friends traveled to the na-

tional mall in Washington D.C. Arriving well before dawn, they fell asleep at the base of the Washington Monument and were awakened by the music of Peter, Paul and Mary as they sang “If I Had a Hammer.”

“We were soon joined by tens of thou-sands of people. I had never seen anything like it, and it is a day that I will never for-get. It challenged and changed my life. For a while, I was able to march just a few rows back from Dr. King, A Philip Randolph and Roy Wilkins. I found a perch in a small tree where I listened to that famous speech.

“Up until that point, I was a Black Panther advocate and thought violence was the only way to make this nation grant us our freedom. Dr. King changed my mind that day. He washed my heart of hatred. I went back to college … and became presi-

dent of the student chapter of the NAACP with his words still ringing in my head.”

Reid said the pursuit of Dr. King’s vision is just as important today, and it should go beyond matters of race and equality. In just about every speech he made, MLK spoke of his dreams for the future and the day when children “would not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

Focusing on the latter half of those fa-mous words, Reid posed the following question: “Where are the people of good character today?”

“Most of us are running around full of doubt and scared to death,” he said. “There is far too much negative energy in our world these days. Folks are all twit-tering about it being the end of the world and why the nation’s problems are always someone else’s fault. Well, I don’t twitter, and I refuse to take on the role of victim amid all this foolishness. I come from a long line of survivors, and I know I have young men and women like you covering my flank. There is no reason to be afraid.”

The greatest achievers throughout his-tory were successful because, first and foremost, they were persons of good char-acter, Reid continued. “There was a time when people survived because the alterna-tive was simply not acceptable. Men and women made decisions that were based on what was best for their families and their communities. They didn’t have (ma-jor news agencies) that told them what to think. They used their instincts and thought for themselves. And yes, they sometimes made mistakes, but just like my grandma would say, ‘junior, do something even if it’s wrong … don’t just sit there.”

Nearing the conclusion of his remarks, Reid offered a note of thanks to the service members in attendance and complemented them for being persons of good character.

“What you do every day as Soldiers and defenders of freedom has had a major im-pact on my view of young people of this generation,” he said as he told the story of a recent overseas visit where a wound-ed Soldier in a hospital told him that he wasn’t ready to return home because his unit downrange still needed him. “You’ve been asked to defend this country in war. I declare that we also need you in our time of peace. The discipline that you have nur-tured, the love of your country, the cour-age that you possess, the ability to focus on an assigned task … all of it is needed back here at home. If character does con-trol fate, then the fate of our country, our communities rests with people like you.”

Capt. Lisa ReidJCCoE dietician

March is National Nutrition Month, and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is celebrating the 40 years it has devoted to bringing greater attention to the importance of good nutrition and the role that a Registered Dietitian can play in achieving this goal.

This year’s theme is “Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day,” recognizing that peo-

ple can pursue the goal of good nutrition in their own unique ways with the help of a credentialed nutrition professional.

Next week’s article will delve further into how a diet that recognizes an indi-vidual’s unique needs can lead to opti-mum nutrition and wellbeing.

Until then, be sure to stop by the Post Field House to enjoy some of the excit-ing events at the 38th Annual Military Culinary Arts Competitive Training Event.

March focuses on nutrition

ROC Drill examines Army sustainment formations

The Combined Arms Support Command will host the Global Logistics 2020 Rehearsal of Concept Drill from March 11-15, at Fort Lee.

The purpose of the drill is to examine Army sus-tainment formations from the battalion back through the industrial base in or-der to identify the roles, missions and capabilities supporting the Army 2020 concept; identify gaps and redundancies in the logis-tics force; identify Reserve component capabilities for increased integration; un-derstand logistics integra-tion within the operational force; and identify the mis-sion command and support relationships required to provide seamless support to the warfighter.

CASCOM, a major subordinate command of U.S. Army TRADOC, is responsible for training more than 185,000 stu-dents annually through 541 courses taught by the Ordnance, Quartermaster and Transportation schools, Soldier Support Institute and the Army Logistics University.

CASCOM and the Army Materiel Command have led an effort to examine the global logistics enter-prise to develop potential solutions to support future Army sustainment opera-tions. The ROC drill is a supporting effort, which will help define the mis-sions, roles and respon-sibilities of sustainment formations supporting the future operating environ-ment.

The effort will inform the Army Functional Concept for Sustainment, the capstone document for sustainment capability de-velopment.

The end state will pro-vide recommendations on the priority of effort for shaping sustainment capabilities in support of Unified Land Operations. The results of this ROC drill will be briefed to the Chief of Staff of the Army.

Participation in the drill is open to the entire sustainment community through the DCO (Defense Connect Online) system.

All commands, in all components, are encour-aged to commit the time to

participate and nominate a command “voter” on key issues.

To participate in the discussion, access the ROC drill through Army Knowledge Online on the Sustainment Knowledge Network at https://www.us.army.mil/suite/page/37246.

Once on the site, click on the “SKN Live Calendar” on the top right corner of the page, and then click on the “Global Logistics ROC Drill” for that date and fol-low the instructions. A Common Access Card is required for this system.

Battalion and higher level commands within all components can nominate themselves to be “voting members” on issues via email. Go to [email protected].

Representatives select-ed must be able to speak for their command and commit to participate in all four days of the event.

KENNER CONNECTION | SPIRITUAL DOMAIN

Robert S.Brown,MD,PhDStaff Psychiatrist, Department ofBehavioral Health, KAHC

“Wars may be fought withweapons, but they are wonby men. It is the spirit of themen who follow and of theman who leads that gains thevictory”

– Gen. George Patton“To this end, it is the duty

of commanding officers inevery echelon to develop tothe highest degree the con-ditions and influences cal-culated to promote health,morals and spiritual valuesof the personnel under theircommand.”

– Gen. George C. Marshall“Leadership is a potent

combination of strategy and

character. But if you have tobe without one, be withoutstrategy.”– Gen. Norman Schwartzkopf

The Army has long ac-knowledged the importanceof the spiritual welfare of itsSoldiers.

Perhaps because of the re-cent decade of combat in twocountries, the Army has re-newed its interest in mattersof the spirit. Currently, forexample, the ComprehensiveSoldier Fitness Programgives preeminence to thespiritual domain. It is alsoidentified as a critical ele-ment of the Army ResiliencyProgram.

A line in “Scent of aWoman,” a movie vividly

depicting an Army officerwith untreated post-trau-matic stress disorder fromdeployment to Vietnam,said, “there is no prosthe-sis for an amputated spirit.”Combating terrorism is, atits least, spiritually taxing.For some of our Soldiers, itleads to painful despair thatwell may be partly spiritual;despair requiring support toregain spiritual health.

Ancient Greek philosophy,from which our concept ofdemocracy is derived, helda tripartite view of humanbeings, that each person hasa mind, a body and a spirit.Our spiritual nature is diffi-cult to define. It is too oftenneglected. Sadly, our spiri-tual nature may bring us ourworst misery, for example,when it is high-jacked by theradically religious.

On the other hand,“healthy minded religion,”as defined by William James

a century ago, may be one ofour greatest sources of joy.

“It is what it is” is one ofthe common sayings of ourtime. However, it is impor-tant to realize that the mean-ing we give to our experi-ences determines its effectsupon us. It is never “it iswhat it is.” It is always whatit means to us. Some of themost vital meanings we giveto our encounters come fromour spiritual values.

We believe our Post-Deployment SpiritualDomain Group Therapy pro-vides a unique opportunityfor Soldiers to thoughtfullyreflect upon the impact ofcombat on their deeply heldbeliefs; the value of mean-ingful spiritual health; andthe identification and appli-cation of resources to helpreduce the inconsistencybetween what a Soldier be-lieves is ethically correct andmorally right and how the

Soldiers lives his or her lifeday to day.

In a word, Soldiers inthis group will learn how tosoothe an injured or dam-aged spirit as they reestab-lish strong attachments witheach other.

The Post-DeploymentSpiritual Domain Groupmeets in the Departmentof Behavioral HealthWednesdays, 2-3:30 p.m.,and is led by me. The groupalso may be co-led byDr. James E. Walker, pro-gram manager, ProviderResiliency, and GloriaTrainor.
