Members of the Navy Cer-emonial Guard and the Air ForceHonor Guard, based at Joint BaseAnacostia-Bolling (JBAB) deliveredThanksgiving meals to residents oftheDistrict of Columbia onNov. 25.

The group arrived at the Boysand Girls Club on Benning Road inWard 7 around 10 a.m., deliveringmore than 1,200 pounds of food.

The food was added as a contri-bution to a larger effort aimed atfeeding more than 3,700 familiesin the District.

Volunteers at the Food 4 Fami-lies event, including students fromlocal schools and youth groups,then took those food donationsand added them to prepared boxescontaining the basic elements of aThanksgiving meal. This includedgreens, stuffing, potatoes, and aturkey.

According to Linda Jo Smith,the event coordinator, the pres-ence of uniformed members andmilitary donations was a big deal.“To have the [military] baskets

come and make Food 4 Familieslarger than it was the year beforeis really nice for so many homelesspeople that need food,” she said.

Airman 1st Class Amber Mar-cum said she was glad to volunteerbecause she understands what itmeans to the families who will re-ceive the baskets. “It’s extremelyvaluable,” she related, “I grew uppoor so I know what it’s like to notnecessarily have the necessities forwhat would be considered a tradi-tional Thanksgiving dinner.”

In the afternoon, once themeals have been assembled, thevolunteer Sailors and Airmenjoined members of the Metropoli-tan Police Department to deliverbaskets to families who had suf-fered particular hardships andwith whom the members of thedepartment had built a specialconnection.

The first stop was the home ofFanny Cheeks, an elderly residentof D.C. and survivor of elder abuseat the hands of her own daughter.

Despite frigid temperatures inthe low teens, Joint Base Anacos-tia-Bolling (JBAB) experienced re-cord-breaking attendance at thisyear’s town hall meeting, Nov. 18at the base Chapel.

With over 120 JBAB employ-ees present, the town hall meet-ing focused on the way-ahead forseasonal changes, training oppor-tunities for civilians, traffic safetyand the future of the base.

JBAB Commander, Navy Capt.Frank Mays, opened the meetingup with an overview of upcomingevents and mandatory training -to include a Holiday Safety Stan-

down on Nov. 19, a tree lightingceremony Dec. 3 and the com-mand’s holiday party on Dec. 11,to be held at the JBAB BowlingCenter from noon to 3:30 p.m.

Mays then discussed what toexpect as we transition into thewinter season, and how it will af-fect heating in facilities aroundbase.

Applicable only to Command-er, Navy Installations Command(CNIC) funded facilities, Mays ex-plained that temperature settingsswitch over to heating, four weeksafter securing air conditioning, orwhen interior space temperaturesare below 66 degrees for threeconsecutive days.

For sleeping areas, child de-velopment centers and critical in-

formation technology facilities inparticular, the heat is turned onwhen there is an extended fore-cast (7-10 days) indicating cool-ing trends for five consecutivedays, with highs below 65 degreesand lows below 55 degrees.

According to Mays, all CNICfacility thermostats should be setand maintained at 68 degrees,during the heating season facili-ties not funded by CNIC, are en-couraged to follow the same guid-ance.

For Joint Base Anacostia Bol-ling’s former security officer,Richard Basile, his last day atwork doesn’t seem to bring outbehaviors you might expect fromsomeone retiring after more than40 years of doing work related tolaw enforcement.

Basile served on details forthree secretaries of defense overthe course of his career, includ-ing Caspar Weinberger and DickCheney.

Since arriving at JBAB in 2011,his responsibilities have beenbroad, encompassing everythingrequired to keep the security de-partment equipped, trained andstaffed 24/7.

“As a security officer,” he ex-plains, “I’m responsible for staff-ing, budgeting, the executing ofthe budget, and the security ofthe population that reside, work,and visit this base - providing asafe and secure environment forthem.”

He said he will always be proudof the work he did here. “I thinkmy biggest accomplishments aretwofold,” he says, “transformingthe department from a militaryhalf-civilian to full civilian policeforce and forging a good workingrelationship with Fraternal Orderof Police (FOP).”

He describes security’s role inpreparing for a number of scenar-ios including weather emergen-cies (snow, ice, and hurricanes),terrorist attack and general crime(robberies). As security officer, he

has to make sure they’re trainedto respond and offers an example:

“The insider threat - whichis big - [is] like what happenedat the Navy Yard. We supportedthem. We went up in our forceprotection measures - we trainedfor that prior to [the event]. If wehadn’t trained for it, we may nothave been able to support or dowhat we did.”

Basile’s experience began in1972 when he joined the U.S.Army. In 1973, he was sent to Ger-many to work as a technician spe-cializing in radio repair and radioteletype.

While there, the Army deter-mined his specialty was over-

staffed while military police (MP)were understaffed. Basile was thenselected to become an Army MP.

“That’s how I started my ca-reer with law enforcement -- be-ing a divisional MP,” says Basile,“From the divisional MP, afterabout four years, I moved into thegarrison MP station - the provostmarshall’s office.”

“At the provost marshall’s of-fice I worked everything in therefor the next four years - anti-terrorism, physical security, evi-dence custodian, police investiga-tions, all of that,” he continues. “Imoved from there into the ArmyCID program (Criminal Investiga-tion Division). I worked there for

the next 10-11 years and I retiredas a special agent in charge.”

It wasn’t very long before hewas mentoring future law en-forcement officers, “When I re-tired, I moved in to teach for Cen-tral Texas College, police science,and I taught a few classes forUniversity of Maryland - criminaljustice.”

In 1997, he took a job as anassistant civilian misconduct/school liaison officer with theArmy in Europe. That began hissecond career as a law enforce-ment expert working with the fed-eral government, one that even-tually brought him here to JBAB.

It has been 22 years sinceBasile’s 1992 retirement from theArmy as a security expert and chiefwarrant officer. According to thepeople who shared their storiesof working with him, he’s made alifelong commitment to serving,protecting and mentoring.

One of those is retired Navychief petty officer Jeff Elwood.Elwood is a physical security spe-cialist for JBAB. He served as amaster-at-arms for 24 years, butbelieves Basile had a tremendousimpact in building a resume thatmade him qualified to do the jobhe’s doing now.

Their first meeting came af-ter he transferred from guided-missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald(DDG 62) in Japan to Ingleside,Texas in May of 2007. Basile wasthe deputy security officer at thebase.

Elwood’s brother died twodays after he arrived. In responseBasile made sure Elwood and his

family were taken care of.“He did everything in his pow-

er to make sure I got home to burymy brother, grieve, and take careof family business, he said. So,that was a very important partof my life that he was a part of.I can do nothing but thank himfor reaching out and helping myfamily.”

Their relationship as mentorand mentee began when Elwoodreturned.

“When I got back there was nopressure to get things moving,”he says. “It was ‘You take yourtime, we know this is a hard thingto deal with.’ But me being whoI am - I’m an attacker - I have tobe busy. I have to be engaged withsomething.”

So he did. Basile respondedaccordingly.

“I took the bull by the horns,”recounts Elwood, “and I tell you- he guided me and mentored meon policies in the law enforcementfield that I’d never been exposedto. At that point I was used to deal-ing with military my whole life. Itwas easy tomentor Sailors becauseSailors want to be mentored. It’s adifferent dynamic when you walkinto a civilian world. I went to himmultiple times with questions ofhow to approach, deal with, praise,reprimand civilians - how to disci-pline properly. He gave me excel-lent guidance.

Elwood clarifies that the rela-tionship wasn’t all talk.

“Sometimes he told me, ‘That’snot the right way to do it. You’regonnamake amess if you do it thatway.’ He was one of the ones that

On his last day of work at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB), outgoing secu-rity chief Richard Basile stops by the Arnold Gate to check on officers. Basilefirst enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1973 and has spent the last 40 years incareers related to law enforcement. While at JBAB, he oversaw the transitionfrom partially military to an entirely civilian security department.

COMMANDANT, NAVAL DISTRICT

WASHINGTON

Team 88,Last month Vice Adm. Dixon

Smith relieved Vice Adm. Frenchas the fifth Commander, Navy In-stallations Command (CNIC).

In this month’s Comman-dant’s Corner, I want to discussAdmiral Smith’s guiding prin-ciples.

Guiding principles provideoverarching objectives for the en-terprise that enable us to developstrategies and set goals for ourorganizations. We will use thisCommander’s Intent to align ouractions, aid our decision makingand synchronize actions acrossthe enterprise.

CNIC Guiding Principles:• Take customer service to the

next levelo “Can-do” attitudes that re-

sult in positive experiences• Be brilliant on the basics

o Know and execute policy /doctrine; perfect our guidance

• Make smart business deci-sions

o Advance enterprise align-ment; seek efficiency and ROI

• Live a culture of continuousimprovement

o Base appearance, sharing oflessons, critical introspection

• Represent Navy to the sur-rounding community

o Installations are the face ofthe Navy; it’s about relationships

Customer Service:First, we must recognize our-

selves as not just a customer ser-vice organization but a customer-focused organization. As we pro-vide support across our businesslines we should never lose focuson the end user or of the foun-dational fact that our mission isto enable the mission success ofour customers - whether they aremission partner tenants (Fleet),individual Sailors or GovernmentCivilians (Fighter), or Navy Fami-lies. I encourage you to know

your customers and communi-cate with them often, take everyopportunity to give your custom-ers a positive experience.

Brilliant on the Basics:Build a solid foundation based

on an expert knowledge of andcompliance with governing in-structions. It sounds overly sim-ple, and perhaps it is, but youneed to be clear that you’re ex-ecuting the mission you are sup-posed to be, in accordance withthe appropriate guidance. To putit another way, do the right thingthe right way. If you feel the guid-ance is not helpful, insufficient,confusing or just flat wrong, raiseit to the right level of leadershipand let’s get it fixed.

Smart Business Decisions:Improving organizational ef-

ficiency is always a worthy objec-tive. In an austere environment -and we are in a long-term austereenvironment - it’s imperative towork hard at executing the mis-

sion at the lowest cost, therebymaximizing efficiency. That isachieved through a combinationof three basic methodologies:disciplined execution, processimprovement, and innovation, ormore likely, some combination ofthe three.

At the same time, we shouldbe looking at getting the mostreturn on our dollars spent, i.e.,maximizing effectiveness. Knowand understand the differencebetween efficiency and effective-ness - they aren’t the same thing,and they aren’t mutually exclu-sive - we should carefully evalu-ate which approach is appropri-ate for the particular situation.

Continuous Improvement:Do not use COL (Common Op-

erating Level) 4 as a crutch. Le-verage your resources to executefunctions in a manner that is rep-resentative of this professionalorganization. Your team deservesto be proud of the services theyprovide. Find innovative waysto achieve customer satisfaction

even when you don’t have all theresources we would like. Focus ongetting better every day.

Represent the Navy:This is an “All hands” assign-

ment and our responsibility to-ward professional conduct doesnot end at the fence line. Weare part of the communities sur-rounding our installations. Thecommunities in which we live de-pend on us just like we depend onthem. That relationship must benurtured; never forget that eachand every one of us represents theNavy in some way to someone.

I am proud of how far we’vecome in the past year and youshould be as well. These guidingprinciples provide clear directionon how we should focus our ef-forts going forward. Please knowI am committed toward support-ing your efforts in achieving mis-sion objectives.

Thanks Team 88,Keep Charging

Joint Base Anacostia-BollingCommander, Navy Capt. FrankMays, spoke at the monthly An-acostia Coordinating Council(ACC) meeting, held Nov. 25 atthe Anacostia Smithsonian Mu-seum. More than 50 members at-tended the meeting.

Founded in 1983, the ACC isa volunteer group of business,elected, appointed and civicleaders, residents and other gov-ernmental, non-governmentaland neighborhood organizations,focused on the revitalization ofAnacostia and its adjacent neigh-borhoods. Together, the councilorganizes community support toaddress a large amount of social,economic and cultural issues thatface the community.

After being introduced by ACCChairperson, Arrington Dixon,Mays opened the meeting upwith his heartfelt condolences forthe family, friends and colleaguesof former District of ColumbiaMayor and the late Ward 8 Coun-cilmember, Marion Barry, whopassed away suddenly two daysbefore. Barry was a strong sup-porter of ACC and its work for thecommunity.

“He was a positive force in thecommunity. His work for the peo-ple of Ward 8 and in the District

has helped many people and willlong be remembered. As residentsand workers in Ward 8, his loss istruly a loss for all of us at JBAB aswell,” said Mays. Mays then pre-

sented an overview of the base,explaining its recent history ofbecoming a joint base, to its morethan 5,000 residents and 15,000employees who work there today.

“We try to be a good neighbor,so we work hard with the com-munity and we have several pro-grams in place.” Mays explained.

The programs Mays men-

tioned included the weekly men-torship sessions with students atLeckie Elementary School andHart Middle School, and the foodand coat drives that JBAB con-ducts for those in need, living inthe Ward 7 and 8 communities.

He also informed attendeesabout employment opportunitieson base, some of which require asecurity clearance and those thatdo not. There are jobs in culinaryarts and in housekeeping, in ad-dition to the need for police offi-cers. These jobs are all available,through the usajobs.gov website,he stated.

Mays then opened the floor upfor questions and provided an-swers.

One of the ACC membersasked if JBAB does anythingfor Black History Month. In re-sponse, Mays explained that inFebruary, the base organizes andparticipates in community ser-vice projects each year, and hewelcomed suggestions from thegroup’s members for future com-memorative events.

After a few more questions,Mays concluded by saying, “I re-ally appreciate you inviting mehere today and look forward toseeing you all again soon.”

Attendees thanked Mays forcoming and exchanged goodbyesfor an enjoyable Thanksgivingholiday.

ment, her daughter was stealingher social security check, leav-ing Cheeks to live in conditionsof “squalor.” Police say theneighborhood “drug boys” werestealing electricity and water tohelp her. When the police gotinvolved during an investigation,they contacted another daughterof Cheeks who came to take careof her. A man, who heard aboutthe situation, donated the use ofan apartment - where they nowreside - for a year.

Cheeks and two of her otherdaughters accepted the basket offood from the police and servicemembers, with warm smiles andhandshakes all around. She saidshe thought the uniformed folkswere nice and she appreciatedthe gift. From there, the groupheaded up to a hospital in north-west D.C. to visit Jaydan Stancil,a 9-year-old victim who was shotin the head in the crossfire of agang-related shooting Oct. 3.

Police rushed Stancil to anearby trauma center, wheredoctors told Stancil’s parents andpolice there was nothing theycould do, and they expected theboy to survive only 30 to 45 min-utes, according to Monique Nich-ols, Stancil’s mother.

The doctors arranged for aminister to pray with Stancil andhis family. During the prayer, overStancil’s seemingly lifeless body,

he pulled his hand away, Nicholssaid. “That told me and the Min-ister that our son was conscious.Jaydan pulling his hand awaygave him another chance at life,”she stated.

Amazingly, the boy foughtimpending death, survived anemergency operation and is nowrecuperating in a hospital playingwith an indoor basketball fromhis wheelchair.

Police Officer ShannonStrange entered Stancil’s hospi-tal room and dropped the box offood in front of him as the groupof service members followed.Strange was one of three policeofficers who initially respondedto the call when Stancil was shotand who transported him to thetrauma center.

During the service members’visit, Stancil was shy, focusedmostly on the small basketballhoop hung up on the wall in hisroom. When he was asked aboutthe attention and everything go-ing on, he just kept focused andsaid, “I’d rather play basketball.”

Nichols said she appreciatedall the love and support, includ-ing the visit from the military.“This is really special,” she said,“for the military and the officersof the law to come by - to reachout to me and Jaydan.”

Survey results indicate thatthe JBAB workforce has a high jobsatisfaction and an organization-al commitment in the workplace.

The lack of sufficient fundingfor some training programs andworkshops were among the con-cerns expressed in the survey,Mays reported.

In response to identified con-cerns, Mays and his leadershipteam has already implementedfive of the six recommended ac-tions resulting from the survey,including:

• Conducting an annual Com-manding Officer Call, for com-munication and solicit feedbackfrom personnel

• Development of a Plan ofthe Week document, distributedto all personnel, so they can beaware of command’s activities

• Emphasizing the impor-tance of facilitating flow of com-munication from the departmentheads to all levels in the depart-ment

• Requiring all departmentheads to conduct weekly meet-ings for all divisions within their

organization• Conducting specific training

that targets team buildingThe next Command Climate

Survey will be conducted, begin-ning January 2015 and Mays en-couraged all employees to takethe time to complete the survey.

Following Mays, Stuart Mar-shall, JBAB’s command supportdirector, reminded the commu-nity to slow down when drivingaround base, especially during pe-riods of darkness and reduced vis-ibility during inclement weather.

Regarding transportation, inapproximately 14 months the baseis hoping to have a D.C. streetcarthat will provide mass transpor-

tation services from JBAB to theAnacostia Metrorail station.

Marshall also informed audi-ence members that in the nextcouple of years, solar cells will beadded throughout the base, con-tributing to the installation’s pro-active energy savings and environ-mental stewardship.

“We hope to make them aes-thetically-pleasing; they will bemostly on rooftops,” Marshallsaid.

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB)held a Holiday Safety Stand-downevent at the main chapel Nov. 20.

JBAB safety specialist, Dean McK-insey, said the event was successful. In2013, the safety office switched its pre-sentation format to a “job fair” format,which has repeatedly been praised as abetter experience for attendees.

“When we had the theater formatwith people sitting in the theater,they felt bored having to sit there fortwo to three hours, depending on thesession,” said McKinsey. “We had amorning session and an afternoon ses-sion and we did that for two days. Theydidn’t like that format. So we tried thisformat — we call it the job fair format— where they walk around to each sta-tion, at their leisure and they like thatformat better. It keeps them movingand it keeps them interested.”

Topics included traffic safety, sui-cide awareness, drug and alcoholabuse, food safety, fire safety, childsafety, decorating safely, outdoor safe-ty and sexual assault prevention andresponse.

Part of holiday safety includeswatching out for others and makingsmart personal decisions.

In addition to the risk of injuringor killing other drivers, OperationsSpecialist Chief Petty Officer, TimothyFreeman, the JBAB drug abuse pro-gram advisor said it’s important duringthe holidays to make sure everyone re-members the estimated $10,000 price

tag of getting caught driving under theinfluence.

“The holidays are where you get alot of drinkers,” said Freeman, “You getservice members who are away fromtheir families and who can’t go home.They find other service members andthey get together and end up bingedrinking.”

If those service members choose todrive, he said, it could come with seri-ous consequences.

At least one participant said she

was reminded of a few things duringthe event.

“I’ve learned about not burningdown the tree and how to properly dofood,” said Angelica Collins-Flowers,who works at Child Development Cen-ter 3.

“It’s good coming through here sowe can get the resources we need incase something does happen. I hadforgotten food temps. My husbanddoes all the cooking, so that was a re-fresher for me,” she explained.

In 2009, Edgar Jimenez,a retired Marine and a vol-unteer at Project Givebackand Myrna Rodriguez, amilitary spouse and a vol-unteer project coordinatorat a local financial servicescompany, agreed to part-ner with JBAB’s CommunityServices Program, to providethe weeks’ worth of food, in-cluding a complete Thanks-giving dinner and dessert,two fish meals, two chickenmeals, breakfast meals,fresh fruits, vegetables anddry goods.

According to CoastGuard Command MasterChief, Shane Hooker, whovolunteered at the event andhelped coordinate and pri-oritize a list of Coast Guardfamilies in need, 130 boxeswere evenly distributed toeach of the five military ser-vices, and to the familiesthat requested them, basedon need.

“It’s awesome becausewe have very junior people,some of which are singleparents and may be strug-gling financially, that areaway from home and fam-ily, can be hard. So to havesomething like this thathelps take care of them, isreally helpful and great,”said Hooker.

For example, one of the

recipients of Project Give-back is a single Airman,with five children and nofamily in the area to help,“so for them this is huge,”Hooker explained. “It’s im-portant that we’re takingcare of our people and it’sgreat that the local commu-nity wants to help too.”

Coast Guardsman ZaidFilluel, from Virginia, wasappreciative of the helpfrom the neighboring com-munity, Project Givebackand its donors to help himensure he could provide forhis wife and four kids dur-ing the holiday.

With over 17 years ofmilitary service, it means alot to Filluel to get supportfrom the Coast Guard andthe community, he said.

“It means a lot, becausethe Coast Guard is my fam-ily and I grew up in the CoastGuard,” said Filluel. “Thefact that they are here, ontheir off-duty time and help-ing out means a lot. My fam-ily and I really appreciatethe support the Coast Guardhas always given us.”

Some 30 volunteers atJBAB moved the 130 boxesof food from a large truck tothe personal vehicles of mil-itary families and checkedoff names as recipients gottheir food. This full-serviceeffort was also a learning ex-perience for the young vol-unteers visiting from a localJob Corps center.

“What a pleasure it is tohave partnered with JBABthis year. This has given usan opportunity to say ‘weare here to support you, weappreciate you, we haven’tforgotten about you andhere’s to you,’” said Rox-anne Chin, center director atthe Ward 8 Job Corps center.

Chin explained thatmany of the students at thecenter are from Ward 8, andfor her, it means a lot toteach them about the impor-tance of paying it forward, asthey have been fortunate toreceive support, includingsome food and coats fromJBAB’s Community ServiceProgram and more impor-

tantly, the job corps organi-zation, which provides themwith a place to live, eat andreceive professional devel-opment training.

“Thanksgiving is not justa day, it’s a time of feelingand reflection, even if wehave very little; we are justvery happy to be able tohelp,” Chin said.

Michael Showell, a17-year-old volunteer andJob Corps student, said itwas a privilege to be thereand support the militarybecause “sometimes peopletake things for granted, so tobe able to help someone en-joy their Thanksgiving, thatmeans a lot.”

PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Families and friends from theJoint Base Anacostia-Bolling(JBAB) community came togetherto enjoy a Family Fun Day Nov.22, in recognition of MilitaryFamily Appreciation Month.

The annual event was filledwith a day of fun activities forfamilies and friends, fitness give-aways and nutritional snacks,promoting physical fitness and ahealthy lifestyle.

Families participated in field-goal competitions, agility races,a beanbag toss, football throwingand more.

“It’s a great opportunity toget moving and have fun bond-ing as a family,” said SuzetteMcKenzie, who enjoyed the daywith her husband, Air Force Col.Scott McKenzie, and their threechildren Spencer, Samantha andShannon.

Ten-year-old Spencer said hisfavorite activity of the day waskicking the field goal with his old-er sister Samantha, while Shan-non enjoyed the running drills.

Scott jokingly said his favoriteactivity was, “getting to laugh atmy wife as she kicks the ball.”

For the second year in a row,the event was held in conjunctionwith the Military Youth Athletic

Conference (MYAC) champion-ship soccer game, with teamsof 12-year-olds who played inthe morning and a group of 7 to9-year-olds who played that af-ternoon.

“We decided to make it onebig fun day, especially since it’s

the end of the soccer season andthis is a good way to get everyoneout for some fresh air and to geteducated on nutritional facts andenjoy some healthy, physical fit-ness,” explained Ricardo Bailey,Warfare and Family Readinessyouth and sports fitness director.

The young soccer players in-cluded kids from Joint Base An-drews [Team USA] versus thechildren who live at JBAB [TeamUnited].

“It’s nice to be able to have thekids get out; the social interac-tion with his peers, and also the

physical fitness piece is alwaysgreat too,” said Air Force TechSgt. Ron Lerch, who lives on JBABwith his wife and three kids. Lerchand his wife came out to supporttheir 9-year-old son, Marcus, whoplayed in the MYAC tournament.

With over 200 people in at-tendance, between the familyactivities and the MYAC tourna-ments, Bailey explained that asdirector sports and youth fitness,his scope is to help in keeping themilitary community educated onfitness and health, while provid-ing opportunities for them to en-gage in those types of activities.

“This is a good way to get thekids and their parents out tospend time together and get awayfrom the video games; encourag-ing them to get up, get out and toget fit,” Bailey said.

Upon receiving the no-tice, Airmen will have 30days to complete the actionby submitting the complet-ed signed AF Form 594 andall necessary supportingdocuments to the financeoffice. Failure to respondto the notice, and completethe required action withinthe 30 days, will result inan immediate reductionof BAH entitlements to thesingle rate effective the31st day and all dependent-based entitlements will bestopped.

Entitlements will not beretroactively reestablishedat the with-dependent rateas of the date of reduction,but will be reestablished asof the date that all requireddocumentation is submit-ted to finance.

Air Force basic allowance forhousing recertification project

Editor’s Note - This story and image originally appearedin the Bolling Air Force Base (BAFB) newspaper, The BollingBeam, Dec. 2, 1983. Minimal edits were made to ensure thetranscription conforms to current newswriting standards.BAFB is one of three military properties that now constituteJoint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB).

Poor television reception is almost a thing of the past nowthat 95 percent of Bolling’s family housing is ready for cablehook-up.

“Houses on Westover and Duncan Avenues, plus theHonor Guard dormitory are being finished up at this time,”said Joe Marinich, regional manager for Mercure Tele-communications, Inc. “Every home will be cable-ready byChristmas,” he said, “even if we have to shovel through thesnow to get it done.”

According to Marinich, some houses may not have thecable outlet installed. “This is probably because no one washome when the installers were in the neighborhood. Butdon’t fret,” he said. “If you decide to purchase cable service,installation and hook-up can be done at the same time.’’

After all housing units are complete, the final stage, ca-ble installation in the institutional buildings begins. “Thesefacilities, including certain lounge and recreation areas,should be completed by the end of January,’’ said Marinich.

Almost half of the housing units are already subscribingto the service, says the regional manager.

“We’ve gotten good feedback from the customers andare always seeking new ways to improve service.”

As a bonus to subscribers, the company will be airing anew program, called BRAVO, nightly on channel 28 untilDec. 15. The new programming will replace the Home The-ater Network.

For customer convenience, an on-base office is nowopen, Mondays through Fridays, 1-5 p.m.

‘’The new office, located in room 132 in Cheshire Halldormitory, makes it easier to pay bills, change program sub-scriptions and sign-up for service,” Marinich said.

Warfighter & Family Readiness Events

let me fall on my face to help me learn whatit means to deal with those certain civilianissues. And I appreciate it. It helped me un-derstand that there’s no one way to do it.There’s different ways to do it. He was awe-some about it and would provide me greatfeedback on it.”

A couple of years after they began work-ing together, Ingleside was selected for clo-sure under the Base Realignment and Clo-sure program. Basile took a job in Sigonellabefore the process was complete.

“He left and we closed and guess what?I went to NCIS Sigonella and I knew himthere. I didn’t work for him, but we met upsocially and when I retired from the Navy,he’s the one who encouraged me to applyhere. I accepted the position offered to meby human resources. It was a competitiveopening, but I feel he reached out to me be-cause he knew what I’m capable of. I feel Iam where I am today because of Mr. Basileand I owe him a lot.”

Sergeant Hugh Johnson works day shiftshere at JBAB. He’s also the FOP Vice Chair-man for Naval District Washington. He’sworn that hat for eight years. Johnson saysthe importance of the FOP comes down tothe basics.

“We deal with disciplinary actions, laborconcerns, fair treatment to our collectivebargaining officers - which is the sergeanton down,” he says. “We have meetings todiscuss the concerns of the officers assignedto JBAB and we try to deal with conflicts atthe office point before it goes further outto the legal aspect - arbitrations, courts orwhat have you.”

His example includes working condi-tions of the officers currently working atthe entry control points (ECPs) in winterweather.

“On our ECPs there was no heat on thelanes where our guys were standing,” saysJohnson. “The concern came to Mr. Basile.Mr. Basile had a team go out and take a lookat it to survey it and to take a look at exactlywhat our officers are dealing with. He un-derstood the concern, it made sense and hewas able to get it into the budget for us toget some heaters outside for our officers.”

Johnson adds that working with Basile asa representative of the FOP has been “excel-lent.”

“Since he’s been here, we’ve had no is-sues that have had to go to an arbitrationlevel. With discipline issues, we’ve beenable to knock suspensions down to rep-rimand. We’ve been able to send officersthat may have issues to counseling as op-posed to suspensions and terminations,”says Johnson. “He’s a professional. I thinkbecause of the fact that he has time in themilitary and with CID, he understands theneeds of the officers.”

Basile doesn’t disagree with how oth-ers seem to perceive him. He embraces thelabel of mentor and decent guy, and notesit as something that has made the last fourdecades worth the work.

“The thing I take away most and I lookat is the people,” he says, smiling. “I’ve hada chance to touch their lives and mentorthem. There’s an agent that was on Carter’ssecurity team with the secret service - hethanks me. Agents I know that are work-ing with things - talking with me and that- those are the things that I look and takeaway with me, ‘I had a positive impact.’And you know, you’re not going to havethat with everybody. There’s gonna bethose people that they don’t want to hear,they don’t want to listen, and that’s ok. Allyou can do is provide, give them the toolsand if they choose to use them, they couldbe successful. They COULD be. There’s noguarantee.”
