Fort Jackson has developed a

hardy response. Fort Jackson is a very synergistic

post.

— Aljournal“Ajaye” Franklin,

Fort Jackson’s Suicide Pre-vention Program manager

“

”

By ELYSSA VONDRAFort Jackson Leader

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness month, and Fort Jackson is playing its part.

Over the next 30 days, a number of initiatives and events will take place to raise awareness for suicide prevention. Although there are ongoing suicide prevention efforts throughout the year, ��'��(��&�)��the secular and the religious forces on post will have a leading role.

“It’s like our Christmas in September,” said Al-journal “Ajaye” Franklin, manager of Fort Jack-son’s Suicide Prevention Program.

On Tuesday, ACE cards were distributed at gates one and two. ACE stands for Ask, Care, Es-cort. This is the Army motto for helping people who exhibit suicidal tendencies, Franklin said. It

means that when an individual is acting atypical-ly, a person close to them should ask about their mindset, pay attention to how they respond and get them help if needed.

Last year, about 3,500 cards were distributed in September. Franklin hopes they will pass out at least that many again in 2018.

Also upcoming are two informal “chat and chew” luncheons Sept. 5 and Sept. 12.

These free lunches will provide an opportunity for the community to openly discuss suicide pre-vention. Last year, two were held in September and about 20 people showed up to each, Franklin said.

These events are key because when community members are “brown-bagging it … that’s often when the most important discussions occur,” he said.

In previous “chat and chews,” topics such as

when abnormal characteristics should be ad-dressed have been discussed. A forum will help answer questions posed by the community, with Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Rodie Lamb leading the spiri-tual component of the discussion.

On Sept. 17-18, the Solomon Center will host suicide prevention training. Community partners and a panel will be available to provide informa-tion to participants with questions about suicide prevention.

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training, or ASIST, will be taught on post Sept. 27-28. Chap-lains also act as teachers during these sessions.

“We train our leaders as well,” Lamb said. Chaplains visit units and look for opportunities to talk to Soldiers about their emotional wellbeing, he added.

Post raises suicide prevention awarenessSoldiers help each other over an obstacle during the Rubicon Command Team Challenge at Fort Jackson in 2016. September is Suicide Prevention Awareness month, and the installation is ramping up its regular efforts in recognition of the national event.

PreventionContinued from Page 3

“Finding purpose and meaning in life” and provid-ing education, a “community of belonging,” and a “fo-cus on helping others” is how the church brings hope to people with thoughts of suicide, said Lamb, Fort Jackson’s deputy Garrison chaplain.

“People are hurting out there,” he added. Opening the conversation about suicide prevention is where chaplains come in during suicide prevention aware-ness month. Generating awareness for the cause – per-haps even through the pulpit – is another role of the religious community this September.

Counseling Soldiers is a daily task for Fort Jackson chaplains. They are non-reporters, so what is told to ��&�_��receive their assistance, Lamb said.

Franklin said the Department of Defense mandates the installation observe the month, but the community has been able to go above and beyond expectations because of its members’ receptivity.

“Fort Jackson has developed a hardy response,” Franklin said. “Fort Jackson is a very synergistic post.”

Taking time to prevent suicide is pivotal to the mis-sion of the Army because suicide is a massive threat to the lives of Soldiers, especially those between 18 and 30 years old, Franklin said.

Fort Jackson has a “high number of ideations,” Franklin said; a lot of Soldiers report suicidal thoughts ��&�_�'�(�� >��of suicides” that are actually carried out.

A compilation of issues often leads to suicidal tendencies, Franklin said. For instance, relationship �� '��combine to make someone feel helpless and hopeless. These feelings can lead to thoughts of suicide, he said.

_�(�� Q�� (��suicide. Knowing loved ones’ typical attributes is im-portant. If something changes for the worse, and a per-son’s mood and/or behavior sombers, it can be more easily detected. The “ACE” model can then be used to prevent suicide.

“Suicide impacts us all,” Franklin said. No one is immune to being overtaken by helplessness and hope-lessness. Suicide doesn’t discriminate by rank, income or nationality.

“We have to develop an attitude that everyone is important,” Franklin continued. Every person’s feel-ings need to be honored.

The Army ACE Suicide Intervention Training Program, developed by U.S. Army Public

Health Command (Provisional) behavioral health experts, includes the distribution of

ACE cards to Soldiers which list risk factors and warning signs for suicide.

“I tell you this is not something that we have to do; it is something that we get to do,” said Brig. Gen. Milford “Beags” Beagle Jr, Fort Jackson’s commander, as the post pre-pared to honor Soldiers and civilians during a quarterly awards ceremony.

Fort Jackson honors its community’s achievements during the ceremony every three months. The installation recognized more than 100 awardees during the event Aug. 30 at the NCO Club.

“A lot of times we don’t do the small things – we don’t say thank you,” Beagle added.

The ceremony is a way the post connects with its command team.

“Today for myself and (Command Sgt. Maj. Jerimiah Gan) and everyone in the audi-ence, we are going to say thank you,” he said.

Beagle added he values thanking the Sol-diers and civilians “very highly.”

“When you take that time it means a lot.”

“My MOS is 42R, Musician. I chose this MOS because it has always been my passion to collabo-rate and perform with other talented musicians. That is what I mainly look forward to once I start my job.

“The most challenging thing for me (about Basic Combat Training) was the mental aspect and con-stantly pushing myself past limits I thought I had. Trying to give 110 percent every day mentally and physically was exhausting for me, having never pushed myself that hard before.”

“There were a lot of times throughout Basic Com-bat Training where I questioned why I enlisted. Even toward the end, I questioned it. However, I met some really great leaders who reminded me that I enlisted to step outside my comfort zone and to push myself to do something bigger than myself.

Back to schoolWhile most students have already completed their first week of the new school year, pre-kindergarten students at Pierce Terrace Elementary School didn’t arrive on campus until Sept. 5. Teachers welcomed students as their young pupils were dropped off throughout the day.

Up for a challengeThe Non-commissioned Officers Academy, Soldier Support In-stitute, held a Commandant’s Challenge Aug. 30 at Darby Field to build esprit de corps between students from the Human Re-sources and Financial Management Advanced and Senior Leader courses. The challenge saw students go through relay races, de-termine who could do the most push-ups, and flip tires the fastest.

As Suhr has expanded his business, he met many service members and veterans who are utilizing their talents in new and creative ways. The more he spoke with people, the more he realized the need for them to have a voice. Suhr started the The Patriot Moose blog, where he features in-terviews with veterans who are engaged in a craft. The response has been positive

and he has considered starting a podcast, featuring veteran-craftsmen as guests.

“Our nation is forever affected by the Global War on Terrorism. With that '�� (��like TBI, PTSD and suicide,” Suhr said. “While those are undoubtedly factors that are part of today’s veteran, it is my sincere wish that we don’t ascribe such a narrow-minded label. I want the American public to know that the veteran who stands be-side, behind, or in front of us has skill sets �� =�� vehicle they drove, and the uniform they wore.”

When a hurricane is6-18 hours from arriving:

� Turn on your TV/radio, or check your city/county website every 30 minutes to get the latest weather updates and emergency instructions.

� Charge your cell phone so you will have a full battery in case you lose power.

� When a hurricane is six hours from arriving, if you’re not in an area that is recommended for evacuation, plan to stay at home or where you are and let friends and family know where you are.

� Close storm shutters and stay away from windows. Flying glass from broken windows could injure you.

� Turn your refrigerator or freezer to the coldest setting and open only when necessary. If you lose power, food will last longer. Keep a thermometer in the refrigerator to check the food tempera-ture when the power is restored.

BatteryContinued from Page 11

All that added weight means Soldiers can get fatigued more easily, are more susceptible to injury and are less able to maneuver nimbly, she noted.

By 2025, the wattage and battery weight is expected to roughly double, she said, citing discussions with the Soldier Lethality Cross-Functional Team and Augmented Reality Cross-Functional Team.

That estimate is based on anticipated power requirements of such gear as new augmented reality equipment and a next-generation squad

weapon, she said. On top of that, discussions are taking place in the Army about the possi-bility of doubling the duration of the standard 72-hour patrol, said her colleague, Noel Soto, a systems engineer with Army Research, Devel-opment, and Engineering Command.

It’s come to the point that Soldiers are los-��of the weight they carry and they are function-ing more like “pack animals,” he said.

Douglas said Army researchers are experi-menting with ways to make batteries more powerful and last longer so fewer need to be carried.

To do that, the researchers are trying to make batteries more energy dense by replacing �� '��=��gas, and in hybrid batteries use manganese di-

oxide. However, the high temperatures required

for that process have made them prohibitively expensive, so the researchers are looking for ways to bring the cost down, even as they ex-periment with other chemicals, she said.

Another solution would be to “add power consumption decision point to acquisition pro-grams,” she said, noting that requirement is currently absent.

Soto said his team in Natick, Massachu-setts, is working on a number of experiments to decrease the weight and number of batteries Soldiers must carry. They include:

� Wearable solar panels that are comfort-��=��'��

� A backpack frame kinetic harvester that produces energy for rechargeable batteries

from slight movements of the Soldier’s ruck-sack during dismounted patrols

� A kinetic knee harvester that produces energy for rechargeable batteries from move-ments of the Soldier’s legs

The kinetic knee harvesters have received favorable reviews from Soldiers doing user �� &�X��}�� '��Soldiers are moving downhill.

The backpack frame kinetic harvesters are ��'�� he said, as that’s when their rucksacks wobble the most. Soldiers are taught to tightly fasten everything down on their person, but in this �� (�� Q��Q� �� (�� &� X��doesn’t sit well with Soldiers, who prefer the kinetic knee harvesters.

South Carolina Guard and Colombia discuss military justice systemsBy CAPT. TAMMY MUCKENFUSSSouth Carolina National Guard

A team of legal advisors from the Colom-bian Army met with South Carolina Army National Guard leadership and Judge Advo-cate General’s Aug. 27-31 to discuss the trans-formation of the Colombian Military Justice systems.

The Colombian Army and the South Caro-lina National Guard have collaborated through the State Partnership Program since 2012. Through the SPP, National Guard and partner countries conduct engagements in support of defense security goals in cooperative, mutu-��&

This particular engagement and exchange of information was intended to give military legal advisors and lawyers from the Colom-bian Army’s strategic planning department the opportunity to observe civilian and military judicial systems in the United States. During ��(�� (��<��(��-sity of South Carolina’s School of Law, met Supreme Court judges with the Court of Ap-peals, went to the United States District Court to observe a trial by a U.S. Magistrate Judge and met with South Carolina’s Adjutant Gen-eral, Maj. Gen. Robert E. Livingston, Jr.

“It’s an honor to host our Colombian part-ners here in South Carolina,” said Livingston to Colonel Fransy Ayala, the Director of Plan-

ning and Legal Policies for the National Army of Colombia during the meeting. “It’s truly been incredible to observe the military trans-formation and peace process as it has evolved. Every person in Colombia has been touched personally by the internal transformation and it’s amazing how gracefully you’ve accepted former combatants into your country.”

“One goal of the visit was to identify some of Colombia’s current legal reform efforts that South Carolina may be able to support,” said Maj. Matt Pinckney, Subject Matter Coordina-tor for the SPP Legal Team. “Our guests were particularly interested in our recent efforts with some of their colleagues to provide a le-gal foundation for a reserve component simi-

lar to the National Guard’s. They were also interested in the unique talents and continuity of personnel that the SPP legal team offers.”
