JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. -- Militarypersonnel from Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling and JointBase Andrews attended yet another, hour-long, safetybriefing where the usual yawns and daydreaming werereplaced with hollers in disbelief and focused listeners.

The 24-year long program 'Street Smart' presentedby Florida Stay Alive from Education (SAFE) Inc. Fire-fighter and Paramedic Vince Easevoli kept the attentionof over 200 military members at JBAB alone, July 10.

Featuring photos and descriptions of real-life trau-ma incidents, 'Street Smart' is a no-holds-barred pres-entation that gets students involved. Easevoli led a dis-cussion on the importance of making responsible de-cisions concerning safety. According to the program'swebsite, "Street Smart is not a lecture. It is a real-lifeview of a person's options."

What was a shock to most, were simply real-worlddriving situations people are put through every five sec-onds around the world every day.

"There are a lot of people who have no idea whathappens to the human body as the result of a carcrash," said Easevoli, founder and teacher of 'StreetSmart'. "They don't have a clue what kinds of medicalprocedures have to be done. Hopefully by showing peo-ple this, it'll be in the back of their mind; they'll take theinformation taught and they'll think twice before mak-ing poor choices."

While drugs and alcohol play a major role in vehiclecrashes and deaths, Easevoli focused the majority of hispresentation to any driver or rider, seatbelt use.

"Especially to the younger age groups where theymight have the opinion of themselves where they'rebulletproof or invincible and nothing bad can happento them. What we do is give away the information to

JBAB personnel get 'Street Smart'


Executive Director Vince Easevoli, Florida Stay Alive from Education (SAFE) Inc., asks Seaman Apprentice Austin Turner, U.S.Navy Ceremonial Guard trainee, a series of driving-related questions while wearing an "uncomfortable" neck brace during a'Street Smart' demonstration at the Bolling Club, July 10, at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling. Easevoli later showed those in atten-dance demonstrations of trauma patients using Turner that wowed the audience to holler and yelp while imagining themselvesin the similar situation. The SAFE program has presented 'Street Smart' to over 850,000 people in high school, college, the U.S.military and the National Football League since 1988 when firefighter and paramedic Vince Easevoli started the program.

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. -- It's been a monthsince his arrival to Joint Base Ana-costia-Bolling, but new vice-com-mander Col. Mike Saunders is set-tling in nicely to his new role onbase and is looking forward to fur-thering its overall mission in the Na-tional Capital Region and localcommunity.

Saunders, a 22-year veteran ofthe Air Force, has an extensivebackground in civil engineeringand a familiarity with theWashing-ton, D.C. area. His first of two as-signments at the Pentagon came in2000 when he was part of the AirForce civil engineering staff. Hewas there again from December2011 to June 2012 prior to joiningJBAB. Along the way his career in-cludes stops at Joint Base Andrewsin nearby Maryland and time at theIndustrial College of the ArmedForces at Fort McNair just downthe Potomac River.

Saunders comes from a militaryfamily, as his father is a retired AirForce senior master sergeant. In re-ality, he admits to being in the AirForce one way or another his entirelife. That's why he also understandswhat it's like growing up as a mili-tary child.

"I went through all the samemoving and changing of schoolsthat a military child typically goesthrough. Those things are nevereasy, but you learn to accept it,"Saunders said. "My father is an idolof mine. He's a primary reason whyI chose this life and why I decided tojoin the Air Force Academy right af-ter high school. It just felt like theright thing to do and it couldn'thave worked out any better for me."

Through the Air Force, Saundershas received numerous opportuni-ties that he's incredibly grateful for.This includes achieving a master'sdegree in civil engineering while at-tending night classes so it wouldn'tinterfere with his daytime job. Asoutstanding an accomplishment asthat is, he's especially thankful fornumerous command opportunitiesincluding three different deployedcommand assignments supportingoperations IRAQI FREEDOM, EN-

DURING FREEDOM and NEWDAWN.

This includes two tours of dutyin Iraq where he led an Expedi-tionary Civil Engineering Squadronand more recently commanded andExpeditionary Mission Support Ad-visory Group that was responsiblefor training Iraqi forces in engineer-ing, security and logistics. Saunderslast visited the country from July toDecember 2011 and led seven dif-ferent transition teams that wereamong the last American servicemembers to leave Iraq as part of thefinal drawdown.

"My first deployment to Iraq wasin 2003 after our initial operationsthere began.To be there at the begin-ning when we were building every-thing up and to return again at theend when we were drawing downprovided a lot of closure," Saunderssaid. "Bases I had previously visitedthat had 30,000 people on it weredown to 900 or at zero already. It waspersonally rewarding to watch Iraqgrow its sovereignty and to hand thekeys over to them at the end.The im-pact of seeing our efforts firsthand issomething I'll never forget."

Since coming aboard here atJBAB, Saunders has been meetingvarious agency leads and otherpersonnel to get a feel for howthings are done on base. He likeswhat he's seen so far in terms ofdedication from the communityand knows JBAB is poised to con-tinue growing in the years ahead.He also hasn't found it difficult totransition here, just different thanwhat he is used to. He attributesthat to its uniqueness of being aNavy-led base and just having tolearn a different approach andprocess to achieving results.

"A big focus for me is to look atthe military-to-civilian conversionthat will be occurring for many ofour airmen. We want to make surethat transition is as easy and asseamless as possible for everyoneinvolved," Saunders said. "We alsowant to make sure our tenant or-ganizations remain successful andthat we continue to provide thesame premier service to those oper-ating on and visiting the base."

Some changes have already tak-en place, such as an Elite Guard nowmanning the gates of JBAB. Saun-ders said other priorities, such as

community outreach, will also beon the forefront. He said the basehas a wonderful relationship withmany differentWashington, D.C. or-ganizations and that it will remaincommitted to nearby schools in-cluding Leckie Elementary Schoolthrough its popular mentorshipprogram for students.

A sports enthusiast, Saundersoccasionally finds time to play golf

in his free time, although he muchprefers tagging along to both of hissons many different sporting activ-ities. His oldest son, Devin, as wellas his youngest, Grant, are very ac-tive in wrestling and Saunders evencoached them at Fort Belvoir up un-til last season.

"I want people to tell mewhat's going on and what's im-portant to them. I need that inter-

action to do my job adequatelyand to help support them," Saun-ders said. "I want to make sureour staff is prepared and that weprovide all the necessary supportfor them to do their jobs to thebest of their ability. I ask everyoneto do their part and help ourteam. Let's work together towardsa common goal and meet our var-ious missions."

Saunders: It's a team concept here at JBAB


Col. Michael Saunders, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling vice commander and Air Force Element commander, has re-cently joined team JBAB as a leader prepared to continue the success of the Nation Premier Joint Base in theNational Capital Region alongside of fellow Airmen, Sailors, Soldiers, Marines and Coast Guard.

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING,D.C.-- Electrical cable failures have prompt-ed a request for help from all personnel atJoint Base Anacostia-Bolling to take meas-ures to immediately reduce electrical use un-til repairs are completed.

The catastrophic failure of an under-ground electrical cable on July 6 and the fail-ure of another cable the night of July 10,threatens the uninterrupted delivery of pow-er to a portion of JBAB.

Joint Base Commander, Navy Capt. An-thony T. Calandra, said three undergroundelectrical feeder cables and a backup cable,all located in the same area, supply powerto a portion of the base. With the two cablefailures, the remaining cable and the back-up are carrying the entire load for that sec-tion of the base. Other sections of the baseare served by different feeder cable and re-main unaffected.

Fearing increased demands for electricwill exceed the capacity of the remaining ca-bles as the temperature increases during theday; Calandra has issued a plea for help fromon-base workers and residents to immedi-ately reduce their use of non-essential elec-trical devices and appliances.

"The feeders we have in use now are car-rying 237 Amps. We expect daytime temper-atures to approach 90 degrees and our loadwill increase. As the number of Amps ap-proaches 300 we'll have to begin load shed-ding," Calandra said.

Load shedding is a deliberate action tak-en by the electric utility provider to reducedemand on the electrical distribution sys-tem (the two remaining cables) and avoidfurther damage.

Calandra asks that all unnecessary andnon-mission essential electrical devices bedisconnected from the electrical distributionsystem by shutting them off and preferably,unplugging them from the electrical outlet,since electric stills flows while simply pow-ered down.

Turning off lights not in use or in areaswith access to natural light; TVs, radios, cof-fee makers, empty refrigerators, extra com-puter monitors (if you have more than one)and other devices are examples he provided."Every little bit helps," he added.

Calandra said, "The goal is to reduce thetotal power draw for the base so we do notthreaten the entire electrical grid's integrityand so we can maintain mission essentialsystems."

PEPCO, the electric utility provider, isworking to repair the cables, but the work isnot something that can be completed quick-ly, given their underground location and theextent of the cable failures. The cause of thefailures and an estimated date of repair com-pletion were not available at press time, ac-cording to a PEPCO spokesperson.

To mitigate the impact on mission essen-tial systems, JBAB's Public Works Depart-ment has plans to further reduce the strainon the electrical grid by using back-up gen-erators in the facilities that have them, Ca-landra assured.

JBAB is committed to providing excep-tional mission support and base servicesthrough pride, teamwork, and excellence,with the cooperation of our mission part-ners, residents, the community and suppliersof services, such as utilities, he concluded.

AMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE

WASHINGTON -- The TransportationSecurity Administration is expanding aprogram that's designed to provide fasterprocessing for traveling service memberspassing through the nation's airportswhile allowing TSA inspectors to concen-trate on threats to travelers' safety, a DODofficial said in testimony here today.

Todd Rosenblum, the principledeputy secretary of defense for home-land defense, praised the TSA effort thatwill expedite processing for military trav-elers. He spoke before the House Com-mittee on Homeland Security's trans-portation security subcommittee.

In prepared testimony, Rosenblumtalked about the TSA effort to expand thePreCheck system. TSA began testing thesystem in November 2011 at the Monterey

Peninsula Airport in California, he said.The system has since been expanded, hesaid, to Reagan-National Airport in Wash-ington, D.C., and Seattle-Tacoma Interna-tional Airport in Washington State.

The PreCheck system is an outgrowthof legislation passed last year -- the Risk-Based Security Screening for Members ofthe Armed Forces Act. Under the pro-gram, service members -- in uniform orwearing civilian clothes -- can presenttheir common access cards and qualifyfor expedited screening lanes.

This builds on past TSA/DOD part-nerships, Rosenblum said.

"U.S. military personnel in uniformwith military identification cards are notrequired to remove their boots or shoesunless they set off an alarm," he said inhis written testimony. TSA also workswith DOD to expedite screening forwounded warriors and their families and

for Honor Flight veterans -- a grass-rootseffort to bring veterans to Washington tovisit their war memorials.

TSA inspectors use the common ac-cess card to instantly identify membersof the armed forces and ensure they arein good standing with the Defense De-partment and the FBI's National Crimi-nal Information Center. Once the checkis completed, the system erases personalinformation.

Rosenblum emphasized that servicemembers do not need to be wearing uni-forms to take advantage of PreCheck.

"DOD is fully committed to continu-ing its long-standing partnership withthe Department of Homeland Securityand the Transportation Safety Adminis-tration to strengthen aviation securitywhile significantly enhancing the travelexperience whenever possible for ourservice members," he said.

TSA expands PreCheck Program

have them see what can happen to themwhen they make poor choices which notonly affects them but affect other peopleas well," said Easevoli. "We travel all overthe world; wherever there's a military in-stallation. We have presented to highschools, universities, the National Foot-ball League and to companies with a lotof drivers, it's not only for younger peo-ple but for adults as well."

From taking a pulse to loading the vic-tim onto a backboard to simulating anintravenous-line being inserted andmuch more, students of 'Street Smart'can see and feel what it's like to try tosave a life, and what it's like to be the vic-tim of trauma.

Seaman Apprentice Austin Turner, U.S.Navy Ceremonial Guard trainee, volun-teered during the presentation for Easevoli tosimulate the steps of a firefighter paramedicin these fast-paced situations. "I will neverdrive or ride without a seatbelt," saidTurner."The program helps everybody learn and tobe aware of what one should and shouldn't

do to prevent accidents in the future."Military installations across the world

have huge thanks to give to not only theFlorida SAFE Inc. and their team's dedica-tion to saving lives but to Anheuser-Buschfor sponsoring the interactive safety brief-ings across the U.S. and overseas; about halfof 'Street Smart' briefings each year are formilitary members.

According to the organization's websiteticker, "852,454 students taught and count-ing."

With the ring now in his possession,Johnson met Precil at the front of the Com-missary for their lunch date. As they wereabout to leave, he mentioned forgettingsomething and that he would be rightback. He asked her to wait there. Precilthen heard her name paged to Aisle 16.

And in the same frozen foods aislewhere they first found each other - herholding sushi and him on one knee - ithappened.

“After a few dates, I felt an instant con-nection and knew she was the one for me.There was no doubt in my mind,” Johnson

said. “I wanted it to be a complete surprise.I thought proposing at the very spot wemet would be the way to go.”

The two were serenaded by onlookersand staff members with claps and congrat-ulations. While plans are still in the earlystages, Precil said the two would get mar-ried in August 2013 in his native home ofNew Orleans.

As for that special moment at the Com-missary that day, it’s something she’ll neverforget.

“I was shocked. I’m still trying to catchmy breath,” Precil said. “I’m looking for-ward to spending my life with him. He’s mylove.”

COMMENTARY BY COL.TOX WILCOX

F. E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE,Wyo. -- Have you ever noticed howeveryleadershipcommentarycomesfrom the top of the chain? Whatabout the opinions of our largestpopulation segment in the military -- our junior enlisted?

Sinceitwasmyturntowriteanar-ticle, I decided to take it to the troopsandreversethecommentaryprocessby publishing a leadership articlewritten by the troops to the folks inleadership positions, at all levels.

I asked Airmen to express theirthoughts, ideas and observations onwhat makes a leader, both good andbad. So this leadership commentaryis for the supervisors, the bosses andleaders ... There is always room forimprovement.

Let's take a look at a few of thedo'sanddon'tsaccordingtothelow-er-ranking future military leaderswhojudgeandscrutinizeouractionson a daily basis. So, from the bottomto the top:

Not all supervisors possess lead-ershipqualities. It'safact,andbelieveus, we notice. From the lowest-rank-ing Airman all the way up throughthe ranks, people appreciate an ap-proachable personality. For the su-pervisor coming in with a mission-only-at-any-costdemeanor, itmakes

youappearunapproachable,makingus nervous, more prone to mistakesand, more than likely, someone wedo not want to emulate.The missionis number one, but without confi-dent and competent people, it willsuffer.We suggest starting the day offwith a greeting, ask about our week-end, be interested; this will put usmore at ease and ready to knock outduties confidently. With this ap-proach, when the time comes tocomplete something expeditiously,we will appreciate and understandyour no-nonsense approach and ex-ecuteyourorderswithouthesitation.You cannot be hard-core and unap-proachableall thetime;thereisabal-ance. Don't be the "pushover" bosseither because, believe it or not, su-pervisors that allow us too muchfreedom, or those that do not drawthe line at acceptable and unaccept-able behavior, or often let things"slide," aren't respected. Think of itlikethis:wearelikeyourteenagekids;we don't like you for your strict rulesand curfews, but we understand andrespect you for it.

Speakingofrespect,wegainmoreand more respect for you when youparticipateinmandatoryorevenvol-untary events with us. If you want tolead us, be involved with us. We un-derstand you can't always be rightthere with us, and we don't want you

with us all the time, but there aretimes we would like to see you theresupporting us. How about comingoutonatrainingdayandgettingalit-tle dirty?We remember a command-er from pre-9/11 days who would al-ways come out for training. It wasnever advertised what day he wascoming, but we got excited at thethought of training side-by-side withthe commander -- especially on theday of searching and handcuffing: achance to handcuff your command-er and not get in trouble? Score! Thecommander would start the trainingday by saying, "In the event we go towar someday and have to fight side-by-side, we must be able to operate. Idon't need any of you being afraid todress my wounds because I wear abird on my lapel and you don't wantto screw it up. In the same sense, Idon'twanttohavetodressyoursandbeafraidofyoudyingbecauseIneverwent to training for a refresher." It's asmallgestureintheheartsandmindsof your subordinates. So supervisors,don't attend training and sit on theside and watch, get out there andtrain with us.

Takingcareofeachotherissome-thing we should be doing at all levels,and there are many ways to take careof us. Knowing the morale and wel-fare of your people is a good start.Leadersatall levelsshouldknowtheir

people, at least who they are or whatthey do, but for the first line supervi-sor, you should know us better thananyone. If the first time you see mydorm room is on the day of a dormroom inspection, I have little respectfor you. Do us all justice by getting toknow us as a person, not just a num-ber. Do you know my wife's name,where I live, what I like to do? Haveyou ever visited me at my residence?Are you there for me to reach out toin a time of uncertainty or need?Thebestsupervisoristheonewhoknowsus and our family situation and iswilling to spend time ensuring ourpersonalandprofessional livesareinorder.

Do you prepare us for the nextstep -- to take over and perform yourjobwhenyouaregone?Weshouldbeable to keep things going when youare gone. Recognition is important;the good supervisor gives us a pat onthebackwhenwedowellandpassesrecognition down to the Airmenwhen the flight or shop does well.Don't take individual credit and bragfor something we helped you do.Recognition keeps us motivated;makes us feel like we are making adifference;challengesustodobetter;and encourages us to look at newways of solving the same old prob-lems. By preparing us to performyour job and recognizing us for good

work, you are grooming us to be fu-ture leaders.

Please pass on your knowledgeand tricks of the trade -- don't keepthem close hold. Give us the knowl-edge to solve those same problemssomeday. Sometimes we may makea mistake, but don't treat it the sameas a crime. We want to do well andsolve problems and sometimes maygo in the wrong direction and causea later problem, but it was an honesteffort to make things better. If we dosomethingstupidorcriminal,wede-serve what we get and want to seediscipline as long as it is evenly ap-plied across the unit. We don't wantan Airman to get the same enlistedperformance report rating or thesamedecorationaswegetifheorshecan't pass the physical fitness test.Take care of those who are meetingthestandardanddon'ttrytolowerorignore the standard for those who donot meet it.

Definitely different perspectiveson a leadership commentary, butone's we should all take seriously.Have you ever sat down with yourAirmen and noncommissioned andaskedthemwhattheylikeanddislikein a leader? I know it would be agreat and personable conversation,and I'm sure you would be sur-prised what could be taught "fromthe bottom to the top."

From the bottom to the top, leadership defined
