Soldier’s life 


Leader Staff 

A Fort Jackson range instructor is credited with 

saving a private’s life earlier this week at Remagen 

Hand Grenade Range. 

Staff Sgt. Ruben Delvalle saved Pvt. Donald 

Tharp, Company F, 1st Battalion, 34th Infantry 

Regiment, when the Basic Combat Training Soldier 

failed to successfully throw a live hand grenade 

around 11:30 a.m., Monday. 

“The Soldier did everything correctly until he was 

told to throw the grenade,” said Sgt. 1st Class Michael 

Gilpatric, an instructor with Company B, Victory 

Support Battalion. “When he threw it, he threw it 

straight to the ground instead of out of the bay.” 

Delvalle, following his training, instinctively 

picked up Tharp and threw him over the bay wall and 

followed suit to the other side before the grenade 

exploded. There were no injuries. 

“Staff Sergeant Delvalle was relaxed as anyone 

could be following the mishap. You would have

Hood Street school temporarily back in business 


Leader Staff 

Hood Street Elementary School will not be 

closing after all. Delays in construction at C.C. 

Pinckney Elementary School have forced 

school officials to house students at the school 

which closed in May. 

“The construction work on C.C. Pinckney 

School has had a number of unexpected delays 

and setbacks,” said Dr. Joseph Guiendon, 

superintendent of Fort Jackson schools. “We 

do not expect the school to be operational for 

the scheduled beginning of our school year.” 

Hood Street will house third through sixth 

grades that are assigned to C.C. Pinckney 

while Pierce Terrace Elementary School will 

house pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, firstand 

second-grade students. 

“This could last for a while,” Guiendon 

said. “We understand it is a burden on our staff 

and our parents. We will provide periodic 

updates to them.” 

Opening day remains as planned for first 

through sixth grades on Aug. 20 and prekindergarten 

and kindergarten on Aug. 27. 

Faculty and staff members will begin on Aug. 

13 to set up classrooms and plan for the 

upcoming school year. 

“As soon as the construction contractors 

and the quality assurance teams release the 

Pinckney School for habitation, we will make 

decisions for relocating the staff and students 

from the former Hood Street Elementary 

School to the renovated Pinckney facility,” 

Guiendon said. 

Renovation work at C.C. Pinckney, which 

included new air conditioning and heating, 

flooring and roof, has been ongoing since last 

year and has suffered several delays. 

“It has been a mess,” Guiendon said. “In 

spite of this issue we have a mission to continue. 

We are going to keep getting better no matter 

where we are.” 

Hood Street, which was built in 1964, 

closed in May due to a decline in the number 

of families living on the installation and the 

resulting decrease in student enrollment.

Respite available for Soldiers with EFMP children 

Mike A. Glasch 

Leader Staff 

Soldiers with children in the Exceptional Family 

Member Program can now get some temporary relief 

from the stress of everyday life. EFMP, offered through 

Army Community Service, has started offering respite 

care for qualifying families. 

“The Army has just provided all ACS offices with 

respite care EFMP funding,” said Cheryl Jackson, EFMP 

manager. “Respite care was one of the big AFAP (Army 

Family Action Plan) issues a few years ago.” 

Families that meet certain requirements, and are 

enrolled in EFMP, are eligible for up to 40 hours of 

respite care, per child, every month. Currently the service 

is only offered at on-post child care centers, but Jackson 

said she is working with agencies off post that can provide 

in-home skilled nursing for those children requiring 

medical supervision such as a premature baby. 

“One concern we found with Soldiers and their families 

moving from installation to installation, not having 

their extended family readily available, is that it was hard 

for parents with special needs children to have a night 

out,” Jackson said. “We would hear from the parents, ‘Is 

Winters (continued from Page 1) 

was a tough competition.” 

The four-day event tested three NCOs and three Soldiers in overall 

fitness, oral and written communication skills, knowledge of warrior 

tasks and battle drills, marksmanship and general military subjects. 

Staff Sgt. Blake Simms, an Army Ranger from Fort Benning, Ga., 

and Spc. Hubbard Harvey, an armor crewman from Fort Knox, Ky., were 

named NCO and Soldier of the Year, respectively. 

The most physically challenging aspect of the competition, Winters 

said, was the urban orienteering event which began at 5 a.m. and tested 

not only their basic knowledge of Soldier skills but how quick they could 

think on their feet when faced with an Improvised Explosive Device or 

suicide bomber. 

“We marched all over Fort Eustis with a rucksack on,” he said. “That 

was probably the toughest part. I did pretty well during the board review 

and on the M-4 range.” 

Winters said he will begin to train soon to serve as TRADOC’s runner-up 

at the 2007 Army NCO and Soldier of the Year “Best Warrior” 

competition slated for Sept. 30 through Oct. 8 at Fort Lee, Va., and 

Washington, D.C. 

“I won’t train as intensely, but I will continue to remain as sharp as I 

can possibly be,” he said. 

Winters, who has been in the Army for four years, has completed the 

Warrior Leader Course, the Combat Lifesaver Course and is trained as a 

driver on the HMMWV, the five-ton and the two-and-a-half ton. His first 

assignment was with the 94th Engineer Battalion (Heavy) in Germany. 

He was deployed to Iraq for 12 months while serving with that battalion. 

A native of Gladewater, Texas, he is married and has two children, a 

son and a daughter. He plans to attend Officer Candidate School to continue 

his Army career. 

“After Wednesday’s board, we (the sergeants major) were discussing 

who would probably win this thing and we realized that we would come 

out ahead if any one of these competitors were selected,” said Command 

Sgt. Maj. John Sparks, TRADOC command sergeant major. “I think that 

says something about the quality of Soldiers we see here today. They 

don’t know how to quit. In fact, I don’t think they would even associate 

with someone who is a quitter. 

“Imagine all the levels — company, regiment, brigade, command — 

they have already climbed to get here. All of them are winners and I congratulate 

them for everything they have accomplished,” he said. 

The 2006 TRADOC Soldier of the Year was Sgt. April Johnigan, who 

represented Fort Jackson and the U.S. Army Accessions Command. 

Johnigan is now assigned to the HHD 10th Transportation Battalion, 7th 

Sustainment Brigade at Fort Eustis. 


there any help for us? Is there any relief for us to leave our 

child with a special need with someone we can rely on so 

we can have a night out — a date?’ Or maybe mom just 

needs to take a nap and needs to be away from that child.” 

While the respite program deals with children, the 

EFMP aids all family members (children and adult) with 

special needs. 

Under AR 608-75 (Exceptional Family Member 

Program), EFMP is a mandated enrollment Army program 

that works with military and civilian agencies to 

provide comprehensive and coordinated medical, educational, 

housing, community support and personnel services 

to families with special needs. An exceptional family 

member is a family member, regardless of age, with 

any physical, emotional, developmental or intellectual 

disorder that requires special treatment, therapy, education, 

training or counseling. 

“It’s designed for Soldiers, to let the Army know that 

they have family members with special needs,” said 

Jackson. “Once a Soldier enrolls in EFMP on behalf of 

his family member, that information becomes a part of 

their permanent record at DA and the Soldier’s record is 

flagged. 

Job well done 

That way, when the Soldier comes up for relocation 

the Army knows they need to send that family to an area 

where there are appropriate medical or educational services 

to assist that family member.” 

In addition to respite care, EFMP offers a variety of 

programs and services; including a support group which 

meets the fourth Tuesday of every month. 

“It helps the Soldier realize there are others out there 

sharing the same ups and downs, ins and outs, questions 

and concerns,” said Jackson. “It also allows the children 

to network with other children and play without the stigma 

of not quite fitting in.” 

Jackson encourages Soldiers enrolled in EFMP to contact 

her as soon as they receive permanent change of station 

orders. 

“What I would like to do is personally get them connected 

with their next EFMP manager. That way they can 

start putting things in action — arranging for schools, 

support groups, medical services and housing special 

needs.”

Soldiers to learn about mTBI, PTSD 

Mike A. Glasch 

Leader Staff 

By mid-October every Soldier on Fort Jackson will be 

able to identify the symptoms, and know how to seek help 

for the two most common conditions that result from combat 

— mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post traumatic 

stress disorder (PTSD). 

Two weeks ago the Army launched a “chain-teaching” 

program for mTBI and PTSD with the requirement that 

every active-duty and reserve-component Soldier receive 

the training by Oct. 18. It is an interactive training system 

that uses a series of video sequences, PowerPoint slides 

and an accompanying script. 

It will be taught from the top of the chain of command 

downward. Leaders on Fort Jackson have started their 

training and will be passing it down to their Soldiers during 

the coming weeks. 

It is rare for the Army to use the chain-teaching 

method. For Maj. Rodney Villanueva, chief, department 

of psychiatry, Moncrief Army Community Hospital, it 

shows just how serious the Army leadership is about 

changing the attitude about mental health. 

“The fact that the Army is taking time to say, ‘Okay 

everyone, you need to take the time to learn about this and 

you need to learn about it in a specific period of time,’ 

shows the great importance the Army is putting on the 

awareness of these conditions,” he said. “It shows sensitivity 

and a commitment to increase awareness and make 

leadership understand. There may be leaders who have 

certain negative views about these conditions. This is 

adding legitimacy, telling the line commanders ‘You need 

to take care of your Soldiers, these are real conditions.’” 

According to Villanueva, 20 percent to 30 percent of 

Soldiers returning from combat will have some type of 

psychological symptom. They may not be diagnosed with

full PTSD, but they may be having difficulties in many 

areas — depression, marital difficulties and anxiety. 

“That’s a significant number,” he said. “It is very 

important to understand that anyone who is exposed to 

any type of combat action is at risk of suffering from post 

traumatic stress. The briefing talks about post combat 

stress, a compilation of symptoms that result from combat 

action. One of the possible outcomes can be PTSD, but 

there can be others — anxiety, depression, substance 

abuse, marital difficulties and physical difficulties.” 

Like post combat stress, mTBI can go undetected since 

there may not be any physical evidence of an injury. 

“Brain injury can result from a blow to head, or an 

indirect blow such as an IED explosion. It can cause you 

to have a concussion, a situation where your brain is shaken 

within your skull,” explained Villanueva. “Common 

symptoms include dizziness, headaches, memory 

changes, irritabilities and changes in personality. It needs 

to be diagnosed as soon as possible. If a concussion doesn’t 

get treated, a second concussion could result in permanent 

brain damage.”

In addition to recognizing the symptoms of mTBI and 

post combat stress, one of the major intents of the chainteaching 

program is to get Soldiers and leaders to understand 

that seeking mental-health assistance is not a sign of 

weakness, and that a Soldier’s career is endangered not by 

treatment, but by allowing a mental-health condition to 

worsen without proper care. 

“It’s like any medical condition, if you have them you 

need to seek help,” said Villanueva. “Your career may be 

more in jeopardy if you don’t seek help because it’s likely 

the conditions you are suffering from won’t get better 

on their own.” 

In addition to the initial 90-day window, the commanding 

general of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine 

Command foresees it being incorporated into initial entry 

training so that new Soldiers entering the Army after 

October will be exposed to the program. 

“My initial thinking is that it should be incorporated 

into BCT,” said Gen. William Wallace. “But with the current 

POI (program of instruction) we may have to move it 

to AIT, but certainly before a Soldier graduates their initial 

entry training and reports to their first unit.” 

Wallace also said he expects the chain-teaching program 

to become an annual training requirement. 

That prediction is reinforced with Villanueva’s assessment 

that there will be an increase in the number of 

Soldiers needing mental health treatment, “With our continued 

operations in Iraq and Afghanistan we will be seeing 

a greater number of Soldiers returning from combat 

who may be having difficulties with post combat stress 

and mTBI.” 

The chain-teaching program can be downloaded from 

the Army Knowledge Online home page. There is also a 

separate program for Family Readiness Groups.

Well-Being Corner 

What is a focus group? Who attends? 

Christina Garza 

AFAP Coordinator 

A focus group is an open forum for 

Soldiers, retirees, veterans, family members, 

teens, civilian employees, drill 

sergeant spouses and surviving spouses to 

voice concerns about life on Fort 

Jackson. Any issues or concerns raised 

will be written up and briefed to the garrison 

commander. Issues are then sent for 

review and resolution to the affected 

directorate or organization, which will 

report back with the issue’s status. 

The issue can be active (being 

worked), complete (they fixed it) or can 

be voted at the quarterly Well Being 

Action Council to be forwarded to the 

commanding general (issues requiring 

higher level approval) or deemed unattainable 

(not able to fix it). 

Once the issue status has been determined, 

we will report it via the Fort 

Jackson Web site www.jackson.army.mil, 

and updates in the Well Being Corner 

weekly article in The Leader newspaper. 

This process only works when we have 

participation from community members. 

The focus groups are a part of the 

Community FIRST initiative, which 

addresses issues that cannot be solved by 

the Interactive Customer Evaluation system. 

This quarter there are three focus 

groups: retirees, Soldiers and drill 

sergeant spouses, and we are seeking participation 

for the last two groups. 

The first focus group of the quarter — 

the Retiree Focus Group — was held July 

12. The retiree community responded 

well and raised a total of eight issues to 

the garrison command. 

The Soldier’s Focus Group will be 

held Aug. 9, and we are in need of active 

duty, Reserve and National Guard 

Soldiers of various ranks to attend. 

Soldier participation is an integral part of 

how well Fort Jackson is working for the 

entire community and to improving quality 

of life. 

On Aug. 23, the first Drill Sergeant 

Spouses Focus Group will be held. We 

want to hear issues and concerns from 

spouses of drill sergeants at Fort Jackson. 

We realize being the spouse of a drill 

sergeant has its challenges, and we need 

to hear about them. 

If you would like to attend either of 

these focus groups, please call 751-3425. 

Both of these focus groups will be held 

from 8 a.m. to noon at the Plans, Analysis 

and Integration Office, Building 3499. 

The Community FIRST/AFAP is an 

ongoing process that allows community 

members to submit issues that cannot be 

fixed by the ICE system. Issues can be 

submitted through the Well-Being home 

page or Community FIRST/AFAP ICE 

link, whether it affects Fort Jackson or the 

Army; feedback is important. Help us 

help the community by submitting issues 

and recommendations online at

Sgt. 1st Class Mark Henderson, operations NCO with the Army’s Rapid Equipping Force, installs a new surveillance 

system on Camp Victory, Baghdad. The system is called the Rapid Deployment Integrated 

Surveillance System, or RDISS. 

New surveillance camera 

minimizes danger in Iraq 

Rapid Equipping Force 

Army News Service 

Fort Belvoir, Va. –– A new surveillance system that 

minimizes Soldiers’ exposure to harm while providing 

continual observation in operating areas has been fielded 

in Iraq after just three weeks of design and manufacturing. 

The Army’s Rapid Equipping Force developed the 

Rapid Deployment Integrated Surveillance System, or 

RDISS, to improve situational awareness for Soldiers at 

joint security stations and combat outposts throughout 

Iraq. 

“There are a lot of areas, especially obscured areas, 

around the combat outposts and we needed a way to cut 

down on exposing the troops to this broad danger,” said 

Sgt. 1st Class Mark Henderson, REF operations NCO. 

The REF partnered with Exponent Inc., an engineering 

and scientific consulting firm, to develop the RDISS, 

which can be installed quickly and with minimal training. 

AAFES, SmartPay make good cents 

Judd Anstey 

Army and Air Force Exchange Service 

DALLAS –– The competitive prices 

and convenience Army & Air Force 

Exchange Service operations offer military 

shoppers don’t end at work. 

In fact, all authorized GSA 

SmartPay(r) Card holders can quickly and 

easily get the items their unit or office 

needs without leaving the installation or, 

if making a purchase through the 

Exchange Online Store, without even 

leaving their desks. 

Whether shopping in-store, online at 

www.aafes.com or through an Exchange 

Catalog, GSA cardholders who procure 

items through BX/PX operations save 

time as there is no need to carry, show and 

explain a state tax exemption letter 

because almost everything the exchange 

carries is already free of taxation. 

Purchases made through AAFES activities 

also save Department of Defense 

money as exchange operations proactively 

survey and review product assortments to 

ensure prices are routinely lower than the 

competition. 

Beyond convenience and cost effectiveness, 

GSA card transactions made 

through AAFES also generate dividends

“In this environment, where a potential sniper lurks 

around every corner, having the capability to maintain 

persistent surveillance while minimizing the risk to the 

Soldiers is a must,” said Lt. Col. Daniel Shea, REF team 

leader in Iraq. 

REF staff trained more than 100 Soldiers, Marines and 

civilians from 20 brigades in the last two months to 

install, troubleshoot and maintain the system. 

“It’s a very simple system to install and monitor, yet 

the benefits are priceless. I know of a few occasions in 

which using RDISS has averted dangerous situations 

downrange. It’s already proven its worth,” Shea said. 

REF plans to deploy hundreds of systems to Iraq and 

Afghanistan by year’s end. 

“RDISS is a definitive asset when it comes to persistent 

surveillance, and as long as joint security stations 

and combat outposts remain targets of opportunity for 

enemy forces, RDISS will be there to help the Soldiers,” 

Shea said. 

used to support Army, Air Force, Marine 

and Navy Morale, Welfare and Recreation 

programs. 

“AAFES is a military command with a 

dual mission to provide quality goods and 

services at competitively low prices and 

generate earnings to support MWR programs,” 

said AAFES’ Chief of 

Communications Lt. Col. Dean 

Thurmond. “This structure ensures that all 

unit and office related GSA purchases 

made through BX/PX operations not only 

are a judicious use of funds, but also a 

generous contribution that helps support 

critical military quality of life efforts.” 

VA’s suicide hot line 

begins operations 


WASHINGTON — To ensure veterans with 

emotional crises have round-the-clock access to 

trained professionals, the Department of Veterans 

Affairs has opened a national suicide prevention hot 

line for veterans. 

“Veterans need to know these VA professionals 

are literally a phone call away,” said Secretary of 

Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson. “All service members 

who experience the stresses of combat can have 

wounds on their minds as well as their bodies. 

Veterans should see mental-health services as another 

benefit they have earned, which the men and 

women of the VA are honored to provide.” 

The toll-free hot line number is 1-800-273-TALK 

(8255). VA’s hot line will be staffed by mental health 

professionals in Canandaigua, N.Y. They will take 

toll-free calls from across the country and work 

closely with local VA mental-health providers to 

help callers. 

To operate the national hot line, VA is partnering 

with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration of the Department of 

Health and Human Services. 

“The hot line will put veterans in touch — any 

time of the day or night, any day of the week, from 

anywhere in the country — with trained, caring professionals 

who can help,” added Nicholson. “This is 

another example of the VA’s commitment to provide 

world-class health care for our nation’s veterans, 

especially combat veterans newly returned from Iraq 

and Afghanistan.” 

The suicide hot line is among several enhancements 

to mental-health care that Nicholson has 

announced this year. In mid-July, the department’s 

top mental-health professionals convened here to 

review the services provided to veterans of the War 

on Terror. 

VA is the largest provider of mental health care in 

the nation. This year, the department will spend 

about $3 billion for mental-health. More than 9,000 

mental-health professionals, backed up by primarycare 

physicians and other health professionals in 

every VA medical center and outpatient clinic, provide 

mental-health care to about 1 million veterans 

each year. 

Department of Defense civilians who 

are not normally entitled to exchange privileges, 

but authorized to make organizational 

purchases, need only show their 

SmartPay(r) Card and a government ID 

card to make official purchases. 

In 2006, GSA SmartPay(r) purchases 

helped generate more than $200 for muchneeded 

Morale, Welfare and Recreation 

programs. 

These funds are used in support of 

Youth Services, Armed Forces Recreation 

Centers, post functions and other quality 

of life initiatives enjoyed by military families 

on installations across the globe.

Army News Feature 

TV show recounts military 

subsistence history 

T. Anthony Bell 


FORT LEE, Va. –– While researching the evolution 

of military subsistence, producers of the Food Network 

show, “The Secret Life Of ...,” looked no further than the 

U.S. military to find the world’s best-fed fighting force. 

That trail led them to the heart of military subsistence, 

the Quartermaster Center and School at Fort Lee, 

Va., where service members and civilians have spent the 

past 47 years working to keep warriors’ minds off their 

stomachs and on the mission. 

A five-man production crew visited the center last 

month to shoot scenes for a 30-minute show featuring 

military subsistence, which is expected to air in 

November or December. 

“Our show will detail back in the day, ancient times,” 

said Philip Brody, the show’s director and writer. “We’ll 

go back to the Roman army and kind of trace military 

meals to today. This (Fort Lee) is really the pinnacle of 

providing quality meals in army-sized quantities and 

adhering to what wasn’t done back then.” 

On air since 2003, “The Secret Life Of ...” highlights 

the history of food and why people eat what they eat. 

The production crew shot footage of food service specialists 

training in mobile, portable kitchens, and interviewed 

some of the Army’s culinary professionals, like 

Chief Warrant Officer 5 Jack C. Van Zanten. 

“I think the show will give our civilian counterparts 

an idea of what food service Soldiers have to do and 

some of the challenges they face in preparing meals in a 

field environment,” said Van Zanten, the Army’s food 

service advisor. 

George Duran, show host and a Europe-trained culinary 

artist, said he and other crewmembers held lessthan-ideal 

perceptions of Army food service before their 

visit. But those perceptions changed. 

“Having gone through culinary school in France, this 

is quite similar, actually, to what I’ve been through in 

terms of my studies,” he said. 

Duran was referring 

to the curriculum and 

facilities within the 

Advanced Culinary 

Skills Course, where 

the military’s best 

cooks earn their stripes 

in the kitchen. 

Many of the students 

enrolled in the

course are destined to be enlisted aides, military members 

who prepare meals for generals and admirals among 

other duties. 

The crew was afforded the opportunity to sample 

some of their culinary creations. 

Again, their perceptions 

George Duran 

“The Secret Life Of ...” show host 

improved. 

“I think you do have a stereotypical 

image of something that 

is just not going to be very good, 

the mystery meat or something 

like that,” said Kerry Lambert, 

supervising producer. “It 

absolutely wasn’t, I mean, that

chicken was really, really good.” 

The production crew spent about six hours gathering 

content to support the show’s storyline. But more importantly, 

they gained a greater understanding of Army food 

service and the training that goes into feeding Soldiers. 

“I always have expectations of what I’m going to see 

from the research I’ve done,” said Brody, “and I’ve got 

to say that my expectations have been exceeded.” 

Army Center of Excellence, Subsistence provides 

training to more than 5,000 service members in all 

aspects of food service annually under its U.S. Army 

Culinary Arts Program.

Mired in mud 

Soldiers train at Fort Jackson’s Mire Pit to learn how to “un-stick” vehicles 


Leader Staff 

Only a select few of those going through Fort 

Jackson’s Wheel Vehicle Mechanic School, 187th 

Ordnance Batallion, are given the opportunity to get 

down and dirty in the infamous “mire pit.” 

Those chosen for the Additional Skills Identifier 

H8 Recovery Course are taught all aspects of recovering 

a vehicle to include towing and retrieval of a 

mired, nosed or overturned track vehicle. 

One of their last challenges before graduation is 

to recover an M-1084 cargo truck out of the waistlevel 

pit filled with water and mud. 

“The principles used to recover a truck from the 

mud are the same whether it is stuck in sand, snow 

or mud,” said Sgt. 1st Class Jeffrey Morin, ASI 

noncommissioned officer in charge. “Soldiers will

Ordnance Battalion’s field training exercise site for the Vehicle Recovery Course.

Recovery Course attempt to clean up after emerging from the

exercise site. 

see the same, or similar, to our mire pit set up when 

deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan.” 

The exercise begins with a truck being driven 

straight into the mire pit where it is instantly stuck 

in the sticky mud. Soldiers then enter the murky 

water and walk around the truck, going underwater 

to check the condition of each axle. 

“We take the temperature of the water in the 

mire pit, and if it is below 40 degrees we don’t do it 

because of the risk of hypothermia,” Morin said. 

Next, Soldiers estimate the situation and calculate 

the mechanical advantage needed and obtain 

the resistance of the stuck truck. Once the physics 

are figured out, an M-1089 tactical vehicle is called 

in to tow the truck out. First, however, the Soldiers 

must rig up cables and pulleys to the mired vehicle 

and attach them to the tow truck. 

If the Soldier’s calculations and cable riggings 

are done correctly the vehicle emerges from the 

mire pit muddied but still in working condition. 

Selection for the ASI H8 Recovery Course is 

based on the total Soldier concept, Morin said, 

including academic average, Soldierization, physical 

fitness, discipline and motivation. 

The course trains approximately 500 Soldiers a 

year. They are given 85 hours of course instruction 

with 12 instructors who have an average of 12 years 

of mechanical experience in the Army or civilian 

sector. Soldiers are taught vehicle recovery fundamentals, 

operating communication equipment and 

operation of the hydraulic system of the M-88A1 

and M-88A2 to operate all aspects of the recovery 

vehicle.

QHow often do I need to be immunized? 

A Immunizations 

for pneumococcal disease, 

measles, mumps and rubella usually are administered 

once, and may protect you for life. 

Those born before 1956 may require a second measles 

vaccination. The Influenza vaccine must be administered 

yearly due to the appearance of new strains of virus which 

are not addressed by previous vaccines.

Chapel 

Restoring 

the spirit 

after war 

Chaplain (Maj.) Stephen W. Austin 

U.S. Army Chaplain Center and School 

Veterans Affairs psychiatrist Dr. Larry 

Dewey, in his book, War and Redemption 

(Ashgate, 2004), discusses the bond 

between Soldiers in combat –– a bond so 

strong that the memory of a buddy lost 

can be one of the most difficult experiences 

a veteran brings home from war. 

He relates the experience of one 

Vietnam veteran whom he calls “Larry.” 

A Special Forces officer, Larry spent two 

and a half years in Southeast Asia, leading 

his men in operations where their 

lives were often at risk. 

Larry was a deeply religious person 

who relied on his faith for the wisdom 

and courage to lead his troops. Even with 

his faith, he found coming home difficult. 

One experience in particular continued 

to trouble him — toward the end of his 

final tour in Vietnam, he and his men 

responded to a company that had just 

been ambushed. 

They filled their “Huey” with casualties 

and headed for the nearest field hospital. 

On the way, he held a young dying 

Soldier in the final minutes of his life - 

assuming the guilt for failing to save the 

life of this fellow warrior. 

With the imprint of this memory and 

others, Larry left Vietnam with a great 

deal of anger and bitterness. 

For some time after his return, he 

watched himself cycle downward in selfdestructive 

behaviors. Finally –– and fortunately 

–– the prospect of losing his wife 

and children jolted him enough to give 

new insight into himself. He said: 

“What I found . . . was that holding on 

to that bitterness and hate keeps the 

wounds open. You have to give up even 

justified bitterness and hate to fully heal 

the emotional and spiritual wounds of 

war. God can help you do this, but you 

have to help yourself too.” (p. 218) 

He sought help from the medical community, 

and he deliberately committed his 

war burden to God –– setting his life on a 

different trajectory. 

We know that the burden of war continues 

past redeployment –– indeed, the 

warrior’s greatest challenge may be coming 

home. Blessedly, God’s redemptive 

power can restore wholeness even to the 

brokenness of war. Recall the prayer of 

Psalm 80: 

Restore us, O God; 

make your face shine upon us, 

that we may be saved.

Avoiding diploma mills on the Internet 

Felix Scott Mason 

Legal Intern 

Getting a college or graduate degree online can be a 

convenient way to learn and grow intellectually while 

also having time to work. However, it can also be a path 

to disaster. While there are many 

legitimate online degree programs, 

there are those whose 

sole purpose is to make a profit. 

These programs are called 

“diploma mills.” A diploma mill is 

described by Merriam-Webster’s 

Online Dictionary as “a usually 

unregulated institution of higher 

education granting degrees with 

few or no academic requirements.” 

Diploma mills might look good up front but their 

degrees are not legitimate and are even illegal in some 

states. Using a bogus degree to get a job or promotion is 

illegal in Oregon, New Jersey, Indiana, North Dakota 

and Nevada and diploma mills are banned in Tennessee. 

Even in states where they are not illegal, getting 

caught with a fake degree is bad for your career. Any 

employer who does their homework will discover that 

the degree is a fake. A bogus degree will not impress 

employers and is a waste of your money. The goal is to 

avoid getting a degree from a diploma mill. 

The following are signs that a program is an unac- 

credited diploma mill and not a legitimate school: 

1. The degree can be earned in less time than a degree 

from an accredited postsecondary institution. 

2. Some diploma mills will list accreditation by organizations 

that are not recognized by the U.S. Department 

of Education or the Council for Higher Education 

Accreditation. 

3. The school places unrealistic emphasis on offering 

college credits for “lifetime” or “real world” experiences. 

4. Tuition is paid on a per-degree basis. Accredited 

institutions charge by credit hours, course or semester. 

5. There is little or no interaction with professors. 

6. The name of the school is similar to a reputable 

university. 

7. The school’s address is a box number or suite. 

Remember, the easiest sign is little or no required 

academic work to earn a degree. Diploma mills that do 

require any real work will require a level of academic 

work that is below that of an accredited school. As with 

most things in life, “if it sounds too good to be true, it 

probably is.” There are many reputable online institutions, 

and it is important to remember that you can get a 

good education online. 

There are many ways to find out if a school you are 

considering is legitimate. The U.S. Department of 

Education has published a list of schools that are accredited 

by accrediting agencies recognized by the Secretary 

Legal Assistance Office 

Fort Jackson’s Legal Assistance Office is located 

in the Office of the Staff Judge Advocate, 9475 

Kershaw Rd., and is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., 

Mondays through Thursdays. Appointments can be 

made by calling 751-4287. 

The office accepts walk-ins for living wills, health 

care powers of attorney and durable powers of attorney, 

1:30-3:30 p.m, Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

Walk-ins are welcome for general legal questions 

and are accepted 1:30-4 p.m., Wednesdays. 

of Education. 

This list can be found at http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation. 

Contacting The Better Business Bureau of 

Columbia online at www.columbia.bbb.org or by phone 

at 254-2525 or contacting the state attorney general’s 

office at www.naag.org, is a good way to see if a school 

is operating legally in a state or if it has had any complaints 

filed against it. 

The U.S. Department of Education is a good resource 

on the issue of diploma mills and accreditation and can 

be found at www.ed.gov/students/prep/college/diplomamills/index.html. 

By keeping informed, you can protect 

yourself from a bogus degree and earn a degree that 

counts.

EAP until the problem is resolved. 

QWhat is a supervisory referral? 

ASometimes supervisors recommend employees 

speak with the EAPC because they’re having 

problems at their workplace. At the first meeting, information 

will be gathered to gain an understanding of the 

problems leading to the supervisory referral. Employees 

will be asked to sign a release of information that allows 

the EAPC to speak with the supervisor to ensure you 

have followed through with the referral. No further 

information will be shared by the EAPC about the 

employee unless consent by the employee is given. 

Editor’s Note: The hours of operation for the EAP 

are from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. 

Call 751-5007 to find out more about EAP or to set up

Sports 

Water aerobics at Knight Pool ... dive in! 

Pamela Greene 

Recreation Specialist 

Water Aerobics is a great way to bring spice and 

variety back to a sluggish workout routine. 

Think about exercising every muscle and every joint 

in your body — all at the same time. That is what 

happens with water aerobics. Not only do you 

get a fabulous workout, but you avoid impact 

and stress on joints as well. Injury rates go 

down and participants are able to focus more on 

the workout and less on pain. 

There are multiple benefits of water aerobics: it does 

not cause any kind of stress or jerk on the joints and is 

extremely safe. Usually workouts last about an hour. 

You can expect all exercise components to be addressed

Post first sergeant trains athletes, Soldiers 

Heath Hamacher 

Leader Staff 

A Fort Jackson first sergeant is well known in athletic 

circles as the go-to person to help train athletes, and his 

newest undertaking is getting his long-time friend C.J. 

Wallace, who signed with the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks 

on May 2, back in shape. 

When Wallace, a former University of Washington 

football standout, stepped off the plane at the Charlotte- 

Douglas International Airport, 1st Sgt. Dean Durham, 

company first sergeant, Company A, 1st Battalion, 13th 

Infantry Regiment, said, “You’re fat.” 

“I knew then that I was in for a treat,” said the softspoken 

Wallace, smiling. 

Durham has known Wallace since the now 22-yearold 

defensive back played youth football in Sacramento, 

Calif. They attended the same church and often worked 

out together. However, Wallace’s trip to Fort Jackson 

was not a social visit. He was here to train. 

“He is like a son to me, but he’s not here to hang out, 

and he’s not here to club,” Durham said. “This is solely a 

mission to take care of business. His team is counting on 

him to do big things.” 

Durham, a 24-year Army veteran and long-time 

strength and conditioning coach, has trained numerous 

professional athletes throughout the years. He majored in 

physical education at California State University — 

Sacramento, and his client list has included former 

Sacramento Monarch Danielle Viglione and current 

Houston Texan, Ephraim Salaam. Former major-league 

slugger Greg Vaughn once called Durham for advice on 

improving bat speed. 

The fact that he agreed to train Wallace speaks volumes 

about the rookie’s character. 

“If I endorse an athlete, not only is he ready to go 

physically, but he’s ready to go mentally, as well,” 

Durham said. “I’m not going to deliver you a dysfunctional 

piece of garbage.” 

Wallace decided to fly all the way from Sacramento 

because the Seahawks requested that he report to training 

camp — which began Sunday — at 218 pounds. At 

224, Wallace wasn’t far from his target weight but was 

heavier than he had ever been. He knew just the trick for 

dropping the extra pounds. 

“The first sergeant always puts me through hard, 

demanding workouts,” Wallace said. “They don’t get 

much tougher than his. I came here because I know what 

I’m going to get. He’s been real successful in my career, 

and you can’t shy away from what’s working.” 

Durham’s first move was to change Wallace’s eating 

habits. The diet that included “pretty much whatever” he 

felt like eating now consisted of foods that are more 

healthy such as oatmeal, fruit, chicken breasts and salad. 

Durham planned 12 days of brutal physical training 

that consisted of running, weight lifting and plenty of 

position-specific exercises. Much of the cardiovascular 

training took place at Coleman’s Gym (affectionately 

called “the sweatbox” by the pair) and Patton Field, 

while Perez Fitness Center was the preferred location for 

weight training. 

The two-a-day routines also included plenty of core 

exercises geared toward improving Wallace’s explosiveness, 

and plenty of homework for Durham. 

“I keep journals and take meticulous notes on athletes,” 

Durham said. “I’ve spent hours recording them 

and watching their motions, because one thing I did in 

Sacramento (Durham once owned a state-of-the-art gym 

there) was guarantee an improvement in athleticism.” 

C.J.Wallace, under the watchful eye of 1st Sgt. Dean Durham, goes through a strenuous leg workout at the Perez 

Fitness Center July 23. 

Former University of Louisville linebacker, Jeremy 

Freitag, has trained with Durham. Freitag made the transition 

from football player to professional fighter and 

credits Durham with helping him. 

“He helped me a lot with understanding how to use 

my strength,” Freitag said. “I had strength from playing 

football, but he showed me how to use strength and 

speed together.” 

In addition to Durham’s knowledge, his occupation 

plays a role in effective training, according to Wallace. 

“He brings that Army mentality and he’s not going to 

show you any sympathy,” he said. “If there’s something 

seriously wrong, that’s different. But if he thinks you’re 

cup caking during a workout, you’ll get no sympathy.” 

Accustomed to the Mediterranean-like climate of his 

Northern California home and the mild climate of the 

Pacific Northwest, Wallace found Fort Jackson’s humid, 

subtropical environment unfamiliar but valuable. 

“I think it’s been positive for my weight loss because 

I’m constantly sweating, you know, getting toxins out,” 

he said. “It was hot out in Sacramento, but here you’ve 

got the heat and humidity.” 

Durham said Wallace is a good person and an exceptional 

athlete, and that he saw something special in him a 

long time ago. 

“I told his dad when he was a 9-year-old that he was 

going into the NFL,” Durham said. “I knew if he stayed 

on track, worked hard and became a coachable player, 

he’d make it.” 

Wallace said he was thrilled — but not surprised — at 

the news he’d be playing the game he loves at its highest 

level. “The game don’t change, it just gets faster,” he 

said. “So, I plan on getting faster.” 

Thanks to his time at Fort Jackson and Durham’s 

wickedly effective training routines, Wallace has already 

Photo by Heath Hamacher 

gotten faster. After less than two weeks here, he reported 

to training camp in Kirkland, Wash., July 26 well under 

the requested weight. 

He said he feels like a new man and can’t wait to 

show it off at training camp. 

“I just want to be the best, and to do that you’ve got 

to work the hardest and be around people who are going 

to demand the best out of you,” Wallace said. “Working 

with the first sergeant, the facilities here — everything’s 

been great. This is the perfect place to train and I wouldn’t 

mind coming back.” 

Durham feels good about the person and athlete he’s 

delivering to the Seattle Seahawks — and said he plans 

to continue training athletes in his spare time — but said 

he never loses sight of his number one mission. 

“My first priority is getting these young warriors 

ready to go out there and defend the Constitution of the 

United States,” he said. 

Durham talked about the possibility of returning to 

Sacramento one day, or maybe opening up a gym in 

South Carolina to help “bring up” children. High on his 

list of priorities is giving something back to “God, to 

parents and to the community.” 

His phone rings regularly, with agents, athletes and 

coaches offering jobs and asking when he plans on coming 

back. For now though — at least for a couple more 

years — Durham is happy where he is. 

“I’m losing money by being here, but it’s for a much 

greater cause,” he said. “Athletes will run up and down 

the field, hit balls over fences or shoot baskets and make 

millions of dollars, but not Soldiers. I want to do my part 

to ensure they make it back to their loved ones.” 

Making people better than they were when he got 

them. That’s what it’s all about.
