WASHINGTON – For a littlemore than three years, AndreaGodbey has exemplified whatbeing an “involved” communitymember is all about. The militaryspouse from Joint Base Anacos-tia-Bolling (JBAB) has served asa volunteer at nearby Leckie El-ementary School – doing every-thing from organizing bake salesto becoming an active and mosttrusted member of the school’sParent Teachers’ Association(PTA).

She was also instrumental inintroducing the school to thecommunity-based program AreaCoalitions for Education – Excel-lence (ACE-E) - a nonprofit or-ganization that prides itself onreaching out to inner-city youththrough its military mentorshipprogram. Two years after ACE-E began at Leckie, more than 30students have gone on to receivefree laptop computers uponcompletion of the organization’stechnology course, Godbey said.

Of course, her list of accom-plishments doesn’t end there.A former librarian, she helpedrevamp the school’s library byseparating books into proper sec-

tions, as well as filtering out old,outdated content for some much-needed newer releases. She hasalso gotten her hands dirty whilevolunteering during the school’sannual Beautification Day proj-ect.

She has been a central figurein the classroom, as well. Alongthe way, Godbey has immersedherself with various student re-lated projects, including classpresentations and food tastingson various cultures around theglobe. She has also served onLeckie’s School Advisory Team,where a group of parents and fac-ulty members team up to discusssuch issues as budgeting.

“I was so visible at the schoolthat other parents assumed Ijust worked there full-time. Theydidn’t know I was a volunteer,”Godbey said. “I’ve enjoyed eachand every moment at Leckie. Mytime as a volunteer has been themost personally rewarding in mylife.”

It’s a bittersweet time for God-bey. With her husband recentlygetting new orders, the family willbe packing up and leaving JBABthis summer. With regret, she willnot be able to continue as a vol-

WASHINGTON—Beginning July 8 andcontinuing through fiscal year 2013, govern-ment civilians will take a 20 percent cut inhours, meaning a 20 percent cut in pay.

Civilian employees can’t control the im-plications of the furlough on their paycheck,but they can control their attitude and howthey prepare their families.

To help civilians manage the stress thatcomes with the furlough, the Military andFamily Support Center (MFSC) is offering aone-hour Managing Your Finances DuringFurlough class.

David Roe, MFSC personal financialmanager, talks civilians through the bud-geting portion of the class, covering topicsranging from maintaining credit to movingyour money around to cover all the bills.“My goal is to show people that even withthe loss of income, they can still do certainthings in their household that will get themthrough these hard times,” Roe said.

It’s hard for people to talk about theireconomic situation, Roe said, but it’s betterfor everyone to prepare now than to be introuble with debt later. As he puts it, “Thebank isn’t offering to cut my mortgage by20 percent just because my pay is cut.” Mis-managing credit to cover expenses couldpotentially affect a security investigationdown the road.

And the furlough affects more than just

the health of those pocketbooks. Accordingto Cheryl Pile, MFSC education services fa-cilitator, money gives us a sense of securityand when that security is stripped away, weare left feeling vulnerable.

“My portion (of the class) focuses in onstress management. My main focus is help-ing people thinking about what their stressmanagement plan is and help them realizethat the way they think about the situationis really going to change how they feel andact,” she said.

During class discussions, Pile said, civil-ians usually have a few things they are ex-cited to have the time for on their day off-whether it be running errands or spendingtime with their children. “I try to get every-one to focus on what you can get out of itwith the time that you gain rather than themoney you lose,” she said.

Pile also talks about resiliency, how tobounce back from these challenges, andhow families can find no cost activities toalleviate stress.

Upcoming classes will be held: July 212-1 p.m. and 4-5 p.m. building 72; July 1112-1 p.m. and 4-5 p.m. building 13; July 1712-1 p.m. and 4-5 p.m. WNY; July 23 12-1p.m. and 4-5 p.m. building 72.

Arrangements can also be made for theclass or portions of the class to be taughtat staff meetings or during training days oremployees can log in through Defense Con-nect Online during scheduled class times.

NAVY HISTORY AND HERITAGE COMMAND

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- A new exhibit,“1813 Don’t Give Up the Ship” opened atthe National Museum of the United StatesNavy at the Washington Navy Yard, June17. The exhibit features ships’ and Sailors’armament as well as posters describing theaide that the Navy rendered the U.S. Armyduring theGreat Lakes battles two centuriesago.

During the War of 1812, the Navy’s pri-mary responsibility was supporting theArmy on inland waters. The exhibit will beon display until mid-October 2013 at theNational Museum of the U.S. Navy at theWashington Navy Yard in D.C.

“It was a purple action,” said JenniferMarland, National Museum of the UnitedStates Navy curator. “It was the Navy insupport of an Army position, very similarto the same types of actions we are doingtodaywherewe are all working together as aunified Department of Defense team.”

The new exhibit centers on that supportand the soldiers who were drafted to fight.

“We focused on the land battles of mi-litia units on the Great Lakes,” said Clar-issa Frank, National Museum of the UnitedStates Navy museum technician.. “A lot ofthe guys on the ships were frontier soldiersthat were pressed into service”[who felt ob-ligated] “ to go out and defeat the British.”

According to Frank, visitors to the ex-hibit can expect to see many of the tools ofthe battles.

“They could learn about the weaponsthey used to carry. We have a lot of enlistedNCO (Non Commissioned Officer) swordsand some of the muskets and pistols theymight have carried. So basically, they canlearn about the tools [Sailors] might havecarried on ship, what to do during a board-ing action, who might have been on thefighting top with the Chambers Gun straf-ing all the boarders that came in.”

One of the centerpieces of the exhibit isthat Chambers Gun. The multi-barrelledgun was developed for the US Navy duringthe War of 1812 and patented by its creatorgunsmith Joseph Chambers in 1814. Theshots came out of the seven barrels in se-quence, so that the gun could be mountedon a frigate’s fighting top and swept alongthe decks.

“It is one of the first rapid fire guns -called swivel guns,” Frank said. “You couldsay it is the first early machine gun. It wasa gun that could fire rapidly - in two min-utes it could dispense around 224 rounds.So when you have boarders coming on theship in the initial action it would be great..But it would take a couple hours to load be-cause you have to individually put the bul-lets in each chamber.

Also, you can’t stop it once you startedit, like a “Roman Candle.” Once it started itwas continuous for twominutes.

Once the museum takes down the ex-hibition it may never come back becausea lot of the armaments are on loan.

“They are mostly from private collec-

AIR FORCE 579TH MEDICAL GROUP

June is Posttraumatic StressDisorder (PTSD) AwarenessMonth and the 579th MedicalGroup invites you to get involvedin spreading the word aboutPTSD treatment and recovery. Ev-eryone needs to know that PTSDtreatment can help.

Raising awareness is impor-tant to combat the negative im-ages and stigma associated withthe disorder as well as to encour-age those with symptoms to seekassistance. JBAB Senior EnlistedLeader, Chief Master Sgt. Simon-sen, echoed this when he stated

“Posttraumatic Stress Disordercan be very debilitating for suf-ferers. The condition’s symp-toms can ebb and flow, makingeven life’s basic tasks nearly im-possible. The invisibleness of the

disorder masks its seriousness;sometimes those who do notunderstand what a Wingman isgoing through can be unsympa-thetic out of ignorance. By takingtime to learn about PTSD, we canall be more understanding andencouraging.”

Many will experience stress-related symptoms following atraumatic event such as com-bat exposure, physical or sexualassault, or a serious accident.These symptoms include: relivingthe event either through dreamsor feeling as though you are goingthrough the trauma again, avoid-ing situations, people or thingswhich remind you of the event,

feeling numb, feeling “keyed up,”or agitated.

Symptoms usually start soonafter the traumatic event, howev-er for some people they may notappear until months or years afterthe trauma. Symptoms may alsocome and go over many years,depending on other pressures orsuccesses. You should keep trackof your symptoms and talk tosomeone you trust about them. Ifyou have symptoms that last lon-ger than 4 weeks, cause you greatdistress, or disrupt your work orhome life, you should seek pro-fessional help.

Please visit www.ptsd.va.govfor resources, links, and personal

stories about PTSD, for the publicand professionals. Through a vari-ety of topics you can take steps to:

• Know more about PTSD• Challenge your beliefs• Explore various treatment op-

AMERICAN FORCESPRESS SERVICE

WASHINGTON - The DefenseDepartment has established theworld’s first brain tissue reposi-tory to help researchers under-stand the underlying mechanismsof traumatic brain injury in servicemembers, Pentagon

officials announced recently.The announcement follows a

symposium that Defense SecretaryChuck Hagel convened, in which agroup of senior defense officialsand experts in the medical fieldand from outside organizationsdiscussed advancements and ar-eas of collaboration regardingtraumatic brain injury.

“We have been at war for morethan a decade, and our men andwomen have sacrificed,” said Dr.Jonathan Woodson, assistant sec-retary of defense for health affairs.“The military health care system isbringing all the resources it can tobetter understand how to prevent,diagnose and treat traumatic braininjuries and to ensure that servicemembers have productive andlong, quality lives.

“Our research efforts and treat-ment protocols are all geared to-ward improving care for thesevictims,” Woodson continued.“And that will have benefits to theAmerican public at large.”

The Center for Neuroscienceand Regenerative Medicine BrainTissue Repository for TraumaticBrain Injury was established atthe Uniformed Services Univer-sity of the Health Sciences inBethesda, Md., with a multiyeargrant from the U.S. Army MedicalResearch and Materiel Commandto advance the understanding andtreatment of TBI in service mem-bers.

“Little is known about the long-term effects of traumatic braininjury on military service mem-bers,” said Dr. Daniel Perl, a neu-ropathologist and director of thebrain tissue repository. “By study-ing these tissues, along with accessto clinical information associated

with them, we hope to more rap-idly address the biologic mecha-nisms by which head trauma leadsto chronic traumatic encephalopa-thy.”

CTE is a neurodegenerative dis-order that involves the progressiveaccumulation of the protein tau innerve cells within certain regionsof the brain. As the tau proteinaccumulates, it disturbs functionand appears to lead to symptomsseen in affected patients such asboxers and, more recently, footballplayers withmultiple head trauma.

Defense Department research-ers will look at the brain tissuesamples to characterize the neu-ropathologic features of TBI inservice members. Important ques-tions to be addressed include“What does blast exposure do tothe brain?” and “Do the differentforms of brain injury experiencedin the military lead to CTE?”

Service members exposed toblasts “are coming home withtroubling, persistent problems andwe don’t know the nature of this,whether it’s related to psychiatricresponses from engagement inwarfare or related to actual dam-age to the brain, as seen in footballplayers,” Perl said. “We hope toaddress these findings and developapproaches to detecting accumu-lated tau in the living individual asa means of diagnosing CTE duringlife -- and, ultimately, create bettertherapies or ways to prevent theinjury in the first place.”

“We are learning though theprocess of discovery the effects ofrepetitive mild traumatic brain in-jury, and also how to prevent thisissue of chronic traumatic enceph-alopathy,” Woodson said. “Thebrain tissue repository will enableus to learn even more about howwe can treat injuries and preventfuture calamity for service mem-bers.”

For further information ondonation to the brain tissue re-pository for traumatic brain in-jury, email the repository teamat [email protected] or call1-855-DON-8TBI (855-366-8824).

DoD establishes tissue bankto study brain injuries BY PATRICK GORDON

NDWWATERLINE WRITER

WASHINGTON - Driverscoming on to Naval DistrictWashington (NDW) installa-tions may notice a change at thegates this summer. Effective July1, NDW installations will no lon-ger require vehicles to displayDepartment of Defense (DOD)vehicle decals for base access.

The elimination of the use ofvehicle decals for vehicle regis-tration, in order to access Navyinstallations, was directed bythe Assistant Secretary of theNavy (Energy, Installations &Environment) memorandumdated March 18, 2011.

Previously, the vehicle decalprogram registration processprovided a simple way for basesecurity to verify the vehicle hadbeen properly registered withthe state, confirm the driverhad adequate liability insur-ance, and confirm the driverwas authorized to operate thevehicle. NDW installations havebeen provided guidance to de-velop implementation plans ofthe new policy and associatedpolicies for vehicle base access,parking, and other installation-wide driving concerns.

“Some have viewed the de-cal as a credentialing for baseaccess,” said Tony Reid, Com-mander Navy Installation Com-mand (CNIC) N3AT programmanager. “Credentialing forbase access has always beenbased on individuals havingproper identification, such as aDepartment of Defense-issuedidentification card. Vehicle

decals were used to ensure ve-hicles on Navy installationscomplied with state require-ments for vehicle registrationand insurance. State programshave become more uniformand efficient, eliminating oneof the main reasons for vehicledecals.”

Security is also a prime con-cern for all DON installations.Since Sept. 11, 2001, 100 per-cent I.D. card checks have beenimplemented at all DOD instal-lations. With this security mea-sure in place, the decals havebecome redundant, and in somecases, a concern.

“In addition to the expensein administering the program,other issues prompting thechange in policy include decalsbeing moved from vehicle to ve-hicle or easily counterfeited andcars sold to non-Department ofthe Navy personnel with cur-rent decal still attached posedadditional security risks toNavy installations,” said Timo-thy White, CNIC N3AT law en-forcement assistant programmanager. “In addition to ourpolicy of conducting randomAnti-terrorism checks, we willconduct command authorizedadministrative checks, similarto the way security departmentsconduct Driving-Under-the-In-fluence checks.

White said these administra-tive checks will check identi-fication and vehicle licensing,and that security personnelwill continue to rely on the as-sistance of the military com-munity to report suspicious orabandoned cars, and any other

security concerns. He addedthat frequent visitors to instal-lations requiring decals mayleave them on the vehicle untilthe expiration date. Otherwise,it is recommended that the de-cal be removed.

Reid said that persons us-ing privately-owned vehicleson Navy installations will stillbe required to meet state andlocal requirements includingvalid insurance, vehicle safetyinspections, registration, andproof of motorcycle safety train-ing where applicable. Addition-ally, the policy change will notaffect visiting procedures toNavy installations, as visitorswill continue to use the normalvisitor procedures establishedby the installation commandingofficer.

Reid added that contractoraccess will be managed sepa-rately. Contractors either re-ceive a temporary pass for a onetrip visit or they register underthe Navy commercial accesscontrol system that providesbackground checks and periodicreviews to allow them to be is-sued an annual valid credentialfor access to Navy installationsfor official business.

Parking will be managedat the installation level usinga CNIC-generated templatebased on current color codingsystem (blue for officers, redfor enlisted, and green for De-partment of the Navy civilians).The template provides for somestandardization at all CNIC in-stallations, but allows for mi-nor changes to accommodateunique local circumstances.

Be prepared for an emergency: Yourhousehold emergency supply kit unteer at Leckie. However, her

efforts in the community willnot be forgotten.

“Andrea has been such aninstrumental part of the PTA.We’ve raised approximately$6,000 in the time she’s beenaboard,” said Hattie McDuff-ie, PTA president and chap-lain with the MetropolitanPolice Department. “Her pas-sion and dedication speaksvolumes as to who she is as aperson. I’m going to miss herso much.”

Leckie school principal Jer-mall Wright, who will be leav-ing the Washington area him-self this summer for a positionwith a school district in Colo-rado, added similar praisewhen asked about Godbey.

“She is the most engagedparent I’ve ever come across,”

Wright said. “I came aboardas principal around the sametime she started as a volun-teer. I couldn’t have asked foranyone better to work with.She’s the best.”

Air Force Staff Sgt. DavinaStone, a certified pharmacytechnician with the 579thMedical Group, also has fondmemories of working along-side Godbey. Together, theyhelped organize a poisonprevention day where ser-vice members got a chance tospeak to children outside thegates.

“It’s obvious she caresabout the people that sur-round her. She stays involvedin just about everything youcan think of,” Stone said.“Even with her busy schedule,she still manages to find timeto drop off her famous choco-late chip cookies. We’ve beenvery fortunate to have her onthis base and in this commu-nity.”
