The RAO is the main focal point of theRetiree Activities Program, an activity estab-lished by an Air Force mandate (Air ForcePolicy Directive 36-31, Personal Affairs) toprovide programs and services to militaryretirees and their families.

According to retired Air Force ChiefMasterSgt. Charles Lucas, RAO area representativeand a JBAB volunteer, the RAO office is look-ing for volunteers to work at the main officelocated in the JBAB headquarters building.

“JBAB welcomes volunteers to help manthe offices Monday through Friday from 10a.m. to 3 p.m.,” he said.

As in my case, I feelthat my more than 35 years of military and[Department of Defense] experience has po-sitioned me to return willingly and providehelp. I am only one of many others whomayfeel the same,” he said.

Swimming, bowling and a flag-foldingclass by the Air Force Honor Guard areamong the recreational activities childrenare enjoying this summer at Joint BaseAnacostia-Bolling (JBAB). The JBAB YouthCenter Summer Camp runs from June 16 toAugust 30.

The summer camp program providesseveral types of activities and events for theapproximately 120 children dropped off atthe youth center every week, according toprogram supervisor and youth center direc-tor Joyce Sheridan.

“Our camp provides a combination ofactivities like water sports, kickball, tennisand other events for our children,” she said.

During one special event, childrenlearned how to fold the American flag in avisit to the youth center by Air Force HonorGuardsmen Staff Sgt. Lawrence Rajab, a na-tive of Miami, Fla., and Senior Airman Rus-sell Helms, a native of Atlanta, Ga.

“I came to show them the basics on howto properly display the flag, dispose the flagand how to properly fold the flag,” said Law-rence.

flag represent. They also learnedthat Francis Scott Key wrote thenational anthem, “The Star Span-gled Banner,” thanks to the HonorGuardsmen.

JBAB summer camp counselorCathy Austin invited the HonorGuard to the summer camp pro-gram to help the children andcounselors learn about the flag.

“I didn’t know how to fold aflag myself, so I wanted the kidsto learn how to fold the flag. Ithought the Honor Guard wouldbe perfect to teach and tell usabout the significance of the flag,”she said.

Nineteen year old Michael Go-dan, also a JBAB summer campcounselor, enjoyed the class andappreciated the visit by the Air-men. “It was good for them tocome here and teach the children.I didn’t know how to do that,” hesaid.

Soon after the flag-folding class,the children in Maritza Medrano’sgroup began to practice what theylearned with a table cloth.

“I am excited and happy thatthey are learning something new,”she said.

Parents can purchase one or all11 weeks of camp to fit their sum-mer plans, according to programdirector Joyce Sheridan.

“You can sign up for the entirecamp or just for a couple of weeks.If you are vacationing with fam-ily, then you will need only a fewweeks of camp,” she said.

Camp costs are based on afamily’s income, thus a single ju-nior enlisted parent, for example,would not pay the same rate as asingle parent who is a GS-15 feder-al employee, Sheridan explained.

The flexibility in terms of costsand scheduling is what manyparents find appealing about thesummer camp program at JBAB.

“It provides a safe environmentfor parents to bring their childrenduring the summer. It is conve-nient and parents like the pricesbetter than what they would findat a summer camp off base,” shesaid.

In one example of convenience,Sheridan referred to a parent whocommutes from Waldorf, Md.,drops off her child at the JBAB

Youth Center for summer campand continues on to her place ofemployment atMarine Corps BaseQuantico in Virginia.

To bridge the gap of differ-entiating medical proficienciesof Navy Corpsmen and Army 68Charlie/Licensed Practical Nurs-es (LPN), Sailors are participatingin a newly-revised Army-basedPhase II training program.

The program that teachespractical nursing specialists toperform preventive, therapeu-tic and emergency nursing careprocedures is now available toSailors for the first time at WalterReed Bethesda. After completingthe requirements of the year-longcourse and passing a national li-censure examination, studentswill be credentialed as LPNs.

Four Sailors assigned to WalterReed National Military MedicalCenter (WRNMMC) joined the 21Soldiers and seven Army Reserv-ists March 3 at San Antonio ArmyMedical Center in Fort Sam Hous-ton, Texas. During the first phaseof the 54-week pilot program,they learned anatomy and physi-ology, pathophysiology as well asmicrobiology. On May 27, the 32students arrived at WRNMMC forPhase II.

Throughout the second-half ofthe course, students will obtainclinical hours in medical, surgicaland specialty areas such as Medi-cal and Surgical Intensive Care

Units along with the PediatricIntensive Care Unit. The futureLPNs will further attend trainingat Fort Belvoir Community Hos-pital, Va., according to Army Sgt.1st Class Steven Brown, Phase IISenior Enlisted Leader and in-structor for the course at WalterReed Bethesda.

“This is a phenomenal oppor-tunity for these junior Corpsmenand Soldiers to collaborativelywork together for a common goal,to be the best licensed practicalnurses the Navy and Army have tooffer,” said Army Maj. Jeff Hillis,Deputy Director for the Phase IIsite. “The in-depth quality of di-dactic instruction, coupled with arobust clinical experience, atteststo Walter Reed Bethesda’s flag-ship of healthcare mantra.”

Hillis indicated the joint-effortpilot program is the first of itskind in the history of the practi-cal nurse course, and is designedto advance the skillset of bothgroups of service members to-ward completion.

“This is a good place to learnand grow,” WRNMMC DirectorBrig. Gen. (Dr.) Jeffrey B. Clarktold students June 5. “I also thinkit’s a good place to develop as aservice member, as a Soldier or aSailor.”

Clark encouraged the studentsto revel and take full advantage ofthe joint setting of Walter Reed

Bethesda with “Army, Navy, [Ma-rine and] Air Force, working asone team.”

“We’re very glad to have youhere … proactively, patient-friendly [and] actively lookingfor ways we can make the patientexperience as positive as we can,”he added.

Navy Hospital Corpsman 3rdClass-Select Charla Watson saidshe was glad to be one of the first

Sailors to participate in a trainingprogram that will provide themthe opportunity to attain creden-tials as Licensed Practical Nurses.

“It was a lot of corpsmen thatfought for this position, and wewere selected accordingly, andI couldn’t be more excited to behere,” said the Sailor.

Watson said she and her threeNavy peers were selected among agroup of 60 Walter Reed Bethesda

corpsmen who submitted appli-cations, and 20 who interviewedbefore a board of directors for theprogram that included senior en-listed LPNs. Each candidate sub-mitted letters of recommendationas well as an application package.Physical Training (PT) and ArmedServices Vocational Aptitude Bat-tery (ASVAB) scores were also re-quired.

“We had to be a Quad ZeroCorpsman, which means wedidn’t have a specialty yet,” sheexplained. “This is something Ithink all of us wanted to do andto open it up for future corpsmenis going to be our goal.”

Joining the Sailors is Army Spc.Alicia Griffin, a combat medicwho reclassified to become anLPN. She said the pilot programis the first course she has takenwith Sailors in her four years ofactive duty in the Army.

“It’s great. I like it,” said Grif-fin, who explained her corps-men classmates share the samemilitary discipline as Soldiers,and agreed they are basically thesame — they just wear differentuniforms.

The 32 students form thefourth LPN class held at WalterReed Bethesda since 2011. Thecurrent class is tentatively sched-uled to complete the pilot pro-gram March 27, 2015.

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)Superstars Dolph Ziggler, R Truth and for-mer WWE Divas Champion Paige sharedstories and laughs as they visited woundedwarriors and staff at the USO Warrior andFamily Center June 23.

Giving back to the military meant morethan simply taking pictures and signingautographs for the wrestlers; it meant timewhere they could brighten up a young fan’sday or listen to anecdotes from the peoplewho serve the country.

“It’s great for us because we are alwayson the go and [the service members] are ac-tually doing the real work that is keeping ussafe at home. It’s a tiny thank you back tothese guys,” said Ziggler.

Truth and Paige echoed those thoughts.“[The troops] stay really humble as well

and it’s nice to visit because they put a smileon our faces so it’s really great to be here,”said Paige. “Everyone is so sweet and wel-coming, it’s like a family.”

“We are giving back,” said Truth. “Thetroops do somuch for us, so the least we can

do is to visit them and lift spirits. We get tostay humble and we get pure enjoyment outof [it]. We are here to encourage [the troops]and they encourage us.”

Many hugs were given, jokes were toldand selfies taken with the Superstars. Forthem, being around people in uniform wasnothing new. Each had family membersserve in the military including Truth’s uncleand father, Paige’s grandfather and Ziggler’sfather.

“My dad was in the army for 25 years, soI had the military crew cut for most of thattime,” said Ziggler. “The military is specialto me because now it’s not just about givingback. You’re helping make somebody’s daybetter. They are actually protecting us andwe are just entertaining people so it putsthings into perspective.”

The stars gave their thanks and evenstopped by a Marines function to show sup-port before leaving the campus.

“It was a great experience for us justto say thank you in person to a few guysand gals who are on the frontlines or havebeen through some damage,” said Ziggler.“Somehow, they still have a smile on theirface and that right there puts a smile on ourface. We are happy to do it and any chancethat we can be back we will.”

Two hundred Soldiers and Airmen fromthe District of Columbia National Guard(DCNG) volunteered to assist and augmentMetropolitan Police, District Departmentof Transportation and Park Police at trafficcontrol and metro points in assisting withcrowd and traffic control July 4.

The traffic/crowd control training ses-sion prior to the operation was held atJoint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB). Traf-fic control personnel conducted scenarioswith civilian vehicles and people acting aswayward pedestrians on Mitscher Roadbetween Thomas Road and Defense Bou-levard.

DCNG Soldiers and Airmen began theirday by being sworn in as Special Policeand preparing vehicles and before gearingup to head out to the National Mall to as-sist local law enforcement. By early after-noon, troops left the staging area on Rob-bins Road in a convoy of military vehiclesthrough JBAB’s Firth Sterling gate.

With the help of Metropolitan Police,the convoy trailed through the city anddesignated points were manned in lessthan half an hour. “DDOT kept good com-munication with us so everybody got totheir points relatively easy,” said Staff Sgt.Kyle Bowmaster, a military policemanfrom the 273rd Military Police Company.

Staff Sgt. Bowmaster along with StaffSgt. William Rogers from the 273rd MPCompany, are responsible for disseminat-ing operational information to the lowestlevel and ensuring that each Soldier on thetraffic control points understand their rolein the mission.

“Already I can tell that the Soldiers areexcited to be in the execution phase,” saidRogers.

Each year, thousands of people fromaround the world gather on the NationalMall to see the Independence Day paradeand fireworks display. This year’s crowdwas larger than previous years.

“We’re excited to be out here to contrib-

ute to a safe and secure Independence Daycelebration in and around the NationalMall,” said Lt. Col. Quvator Joseph, taskforce commander, District of ColumbiaArmy National Guard. “These troops aretrained, equipped and ready to assist as

needed.”President Barack Obama and First Lady

Michelle Obama added to the festivitiesby having a special event honoring servicemembers and their families on the southlawn of the White House. The event includ-

ed a naturalization ceremony, a concertand remarks from the President.

By early evening, the National Mall andsurrounding areas were full of Washingto-nians, tourists and several military mem-bers waiting to see the main attraction, thefireworks display visible in some areas ofthe city several miles away.

The guardsmen remained at their trafficcontrol points and metro points well intothe night until the events came to a close.Despite the long hours, many guardsmenexpressed their satisfaction with the out-come of the mission.

“It’s a wonderful way to interact withthe community and serve our country atthe same time. This is what I signed upfor,” said Sgt. Roger Hughes, a militarypoliceman from the 273rd MP Company.“This is my second year supporting theFourth of July mission on traffic controlpoints and I think that we are improving.The biggest difference is that we were ableto use our military vehicles, which reallymade our presence known. I could tell thatpeople felt safe.”

A vehicle capable of reach-ing speeds up to 50 mph, has nobrakes and requires no speciallicense to operate? As ridiculousas that may sound, there arethousands of them out there inthe hands of recreational boatersup and down the waterways sur-rounding Southern Maryland.

“The most important thinganyone can do for themselves,their family and others aroundthem on the water, is to take asafety boating course and learnwhat they need to know to safelyoperate a vessel on our water-ways,” said Chief Warrant Officer2 Philip Robinson, commandingofficer of Coast Guard Station St.Inigoes, Maryland. “Eight out ofevery 10 boaters who drowned in2013 were operating a boat lessthan 21 feet in length.”

Whether the vessel is a mo-torboat, sailboat, canoe, kayakor jet ski, local agencies such asthe Patuxent River Sail and PowerSquadron or Coast Guard Auxil-iary offer free ongoing boat andwater safety courses that go overeverything any boater needs toknow.

Course topics cover all aspectsof boating safety including neces-sary life safety equipment; federaland state boating laws; personalwatercraft requirements; sound-producing devices; visual distress

signals; docking, undocking andmooring; using charts; weatherand tides; river hazards; emer-gency radio calls; types of buoysand beacons; navigation rulesand filing a float plan, amongmany others.

“We would ask everyone to filea float plan regardless of whetherthey’re in a motorboat, sailboat orjust renting a canoe or kayak forthe day,” Robinson said. “Writedown where you’re going, who’swith you, how long you expectto be out, what safety gear youhave with you — and leave it withsomeone. If you don’t show uplater, they can turn that informa-tion over to the Coast Guard andwe’ll use it to narrow our searchand help us identify where themissing persons might be.”

And while wearing a life jacketmay seem like a no-brainer, manyindividuals wear one incorrectlyrated for the speed of their boat,not properly fitted, or don’t wearone at all.

“A jet ski transits at an ex-tremely high rate of speed andnot every life jacket is rated forthe impact you’d receive fallingoff at that rate of speed, so it’snecessary to have the one youneed,” Robinson explained. “And,in my experience, the majority ofdeaths on the water were peoplenot wearing life jackets; or sever-al were wearing jackets, but theywere too big.”

Simple flotation craft such as

canoes and kayaks can also resultin casualties, Robinson said.

“Canoes are unstable andyou have to balance them so youdon’t tip over; and be careful notto overload them,” he added. “Ifa kayak flips over, you need toknow how to get it back upright.”

Robinson also cautioned boat-ers to always check the weatherbefore heading out and be wary

of lightning and winds that causehigh seas.

“Canoes are made of metaland are susceptible to lightningstrikes,” he said. “They’re alsonot rated for seas. If the windpicks up, it’ll get rough out there.If you see a storm coming in, getoff the water.”

One duty of the Coast Guard isto educate the public.

“We want the same thing theydo — we want them to have agood day on the water; but wealso want them to return homesafely that night,” Robinson said.

Every day, Robinson’s crewrandomly boards vessels to ob-serve the operator for signs ofintoxication, assess their boatingcapability and run through a ves-sel safety checklist.

“As humans, we are naturallydrawn to things that promote easeand convenience; and cell phonescertainly fit the bill. However, wehumans also usually fail to accountfor the unintended consequencesof our actions,” said Jim Ganz, Na-val Support Activity Bethesda Safe-ty Manager. “Cell phone use (inconjunction with driving) is a fineexample of this. We have become“habitualized” to the availability ofcell phones, everywhere and at alltimes. Despite the preponderanceof evidence that demonstratesthe dangers of these actions, andpunitive consequences to gettingcaught doing them, it is difficult tobreak ourselves of these habits.”

Cell phone usage while drivingis an example of distracted driving.According to the National High-way Traffic Safety Administration,distracted driving is any activitythat could divert a person’s atten-tion away from the primary task ofdriving. Although they may seemharmless in nature, other exam-ples of distracted driving includetalking to passengers, eating anddrinking, using a navigation sys-tem or reading a map. These activ-ities require the brain to attemptthe job of multitasking, meaningthat the brain must do two or moreactivities at once. However, multi-

tasking is not possible for the hu-man brain.

“What we do is shuffle betweentasks with our attention on onlyone at a time. Driving and having aconversation involve two thinkingtasks and our brains cannot pro-cess both at the same time,” saidGanz. “So people ask, ‘what aboutwalking and chewing gum? I cando both of those at the same time?’That is because they are both non-thinking tasks and we do not needour brains to process these tasks.Others ask, ‘if driving and talk-ing are both thinking tasks, whatabout talking with passenger?’ Yes,talking with passengers is prettymuch the same as talking on a cellphone, but having passengers inthe vehicle tends to make driving

safer since there is at least one ex-tra pair of eyes on the road.”

Distractions can be divided intothree main types: visual — takingyour eyes off the road to look at abillboard or check self in the mir-ror; manual — taking your handsoff the wheel to reach for a fallenobject or to get a drink of water;and cognitive — taking your mindoff the road while occupied withvisual and manual distractions.

“Texting while driving is oneof the activities that combine allthree primary distractions at once,which is why texting and drivinghas been compared to the impair-ments associated with drinkingand driving” said Ganz. “However,it’s not just about texting. Studieshave shown that drivers who use

handheld devices (including talk-ing on cell phones) are four timesmore likely to get into crashes seri-ous enough to injure themselves orothers, than those not using thesedevices.”

Distracted driving, like thewarnings of not wearing a seatbeltin moving vehicles, has becomea serious issue over the past fewyears.

“The proliferation of cellphones with unlimited textingoffered by just about every cellphone company, and promotionof hands-free devices, includingthose built into vehicle’s audiosystems that are promoted as asafety feature by automobile mak-ers have all contributed to the riseof distracted driving as being a se-rious issue,” said Ganz. “Of all, theexplosion of cell phone use in to-day’s society is the primary mover,but all these others have contrib-uted in part.”

Maryland and Washington D.C.recently banned handheld devicesfor all drivers, and Maryland, D.C.,and Virginia banned texting for alldrivers. These laws are consideredprimary, meaning that a police of-ficer does not need to see anotherviolation to pull you over. In re-gards to all Navy military person-nel, the Navy’s Traffic Safety In-struction (OPNAVINST 5100.12)states all Navy military personnelat all times, all personnel drivingor riding in a motor vehicle on aNavy installation, and all personsdriving or riding in a motor vehicle

owned or leased by the Navy, atall times, on or off base includingrental cars while on official orders.

“More important than anyregulation, law or policy is theneed for drivers to understandtheir actions, the risk they poseto themselves and others, and toaccept personal responsibility forchanging their behavior to reducethis risk. We have seen this in thepast with seat belt use and drink-ing and driving issues. Like theseissues, change will not occur overnight. Again, like these issues,laws alone will have little effect,”said Ganz. “This is why variousorganizations that promote safedriving have developed campaignsto raise awareness and get peopletalking about this issue. Most of uson this installation are active-dutymilitary or Department of Defensecivilians. As such, we are chargedto develop and demonstrate lead-ership in a number of areas. Weare expected to set the example forour friends, families and other co-workers in everything we do. So,regarding this issue, we must lead.Set the example.”

The National Associa-tion for the Advancementof Colored People (NAACP)announced its Departmentof Defense recipients for the2014 Roy Wilkins RenownService Award, with a Sailorfrom Naval District Wash-ington (NDW) representingthe Navy.

Chief Mass Communica-tion Specialist Terry Spain,NDW command climatespecialist (CCS), formerlyknown as equal opportunityadviser, and winners fromother services will be rec-ognized for their leadershiproles during an awards lun-cheon in Las Vegas sched-uled for July 22.

Beyond serving his fel-low Sailors as the commandclimate specialist, Spain isalso an active volunteer inhis community in CharlesCounty, Maryland, where heis a weekly mentor for BigBrothers Big Sisters, a mem-ber of the local NAACP chap-ter, and a volunteer with theAmerican Red Cross.

Before serving his coun-try and community, Spainsaid his original goal was toplay college basketball—un-

til a ruptured appendix dur-ing his senior year of highschool sidelined him formonths and almost took hislife.

“That was a seriouswake up call for me,” hesaid.”That made me theperson I am today and hum-bled me so much, because Ithought nothing could hap-pen—17 with everythinggoing for me—and that oneday changed everything forme.”

So many friends andfamily members came tosee him in the hospital thatnurses had to turn someaway when it got too full, herecalled. “That showed methat people care,” he added,and since then, he has beengiving back.

Earning the NAACPaward has special signifi-cance, Spain said, becausehe gets to follow in thefootsteps of his father, SamSpain, who won the sameaward in 1992 as a MarineCorps master gunnery ser-geant.

“When I told him that Iwas selected for it, I thinkhe was more excited thanI was,” Spain said of his fa-ther, whom he called an

ideal role model.As a mentor and big

brother, Spain said he hasseen firsthand the powerand importance of com-munity in developing kidswho may not be fortunate

enough to have a father oreither parent involved intheir lives.

“If youth today don’t seeor can’t mimic someonethat’s positive, then we’regoing to be lost,” Spain said.

“My goal is to make sure Ido my part. At the end of theday, the kids are the oneswho really matter, and theyreally, genuinely appreciateus coming out.”

Being recognized for

such a prestigious awardfeels great, he added, buthe takes more from seeingyouth he interacts with be-come successful adults.

After 17 years in theNavy,Spain said he is keeping hisoptions open as retirementdraws closer. Whether add-ing a few more years to theNavy, becoming a teacher,or becoming more of acommunity leader with theNAACP, Spain plans to keepgiving back—something hehopes others will do as well.

“I would just encouragepeople to volunteer, and doit not for the accolades youmay achieve, but just be-cause it will make you a bet-ter person,” he said.

The Roy Wilkins RenownService Award, presentedannually to service mem-bers and DOD civilians fromeach branch of the military,is named for the former civilrights activist and leader ofthe NAACP who led manyof the successful civil rightscampaigns in America dur-ing the 1960s.

Ultraviolet rays, or UV ra-diation, is a known carcino-gen that can cause a numberof harmful effects on theskin.

The two types of UV ra-diation that can affect theskin—UVA andUVB—haveboth been linked to skin can-cer and a weakening of theimmune system. They alsocontribute to premature ag-ing of the skin, cataracts andcan cause skin color changes.

Although it’s largely pre-ventable, skin cancer is themost common form of can-cer in the United States withmore than 1 million peoplein the U.S. diagnosed eachyear, according to the U.S.Environmental ProtectionAgency.

EPA surveys indicatemost people are confusedabout the proper use andeffectiveness of sunscreens.When used properly, sun-screens can protect the skinfrom some of the sun’s dam-aging UV radition.

UVA rays are not ab-sorbed by the ozone layerand penetrate deep into theskin, heavily contributing topremature aging. Up to 90percent of the visible skinchanges commonly attrib-uted to aging are caused bysun exposure.

UVB rays are partiallyabsorbed by the ozone layerand mostly affect the surfaceof the skin; these rays are theprimary cause of sunburn.Because of the thinning ofthe ozone layer, the effectsof UVB radiation will posean increased threat until thelayer is restored in the latter

half of the 21st century.Sunscreens protect your

skin by absorbing and/or re-flecting UVA and UVB rays.The FDA requires all sun-screens to contain a sun pro-tection factor, or SPF, label.

The SPF label reveals therelative amount of sunburnprotection a sunscreen can

provide an average userwhen correctly used andwithin date of expiration. Al-though the SPF ratings foundon sunscreen packages applymainly to UVB rays, manysunscreen manufacturersinclude ingredients that pro-tect the skin from some UVArays as well. These broad-

spectrum sunscreens arehighly recommended.

Sunscreens with an SPF ofat least 15 are recommended.You should be aware thatan SPF of 30 is not twice asprotective as an SPF of 15;rather, when properly used,an SPF of 15 protects theskin from 93 percent of UVB

radiation, and an SPF 30 sun-screen provides 97 percentprotection.

Try using a lip balm con-taining SPF not only for yourlips, but under your eyes andon your eye lids; this mini-mizes the chance of it gettingsunscreen intoyoureyeswhichmay sting.
