You are God’s pumpkin Chaplain (Capt.) Robert Patterson 832nd Ordnance Battalion Chaplain
For most of the country, the crisp cool air of Fall has arrived. Leaves are changing color,
Christmas decorations are popping up in stores, cooks are dusting off their Thanksgiving recipes, and the candy aisles are overflowing with giant bags of sweet treats in anticipation of Halloween. A popular symbol of
LIGHT both the Fall season and Halloween is the pumpkin. I read recently that being a Christian is a lot like being a pumpkin. The connection follows. Just like a family excitedly searching the patch for their special pumpkin to be proudly displayed on their porch, the scripture tells us the Lord chooses us. He looks past all the dirt and imperfections on our surface and sees what we will become when He
is finished with his work in us. The Bible describes how God picks us up from the dirt and sin of the world and washes us off with his forgiveness. Then he opens us up and cleans out the inside. It requires some carving and may be a difficult process to undergo as He carefully removes all the seeds of doubt, hate, greed and fear, and replaces them with seeds of faith, hope
and love. The result of these internal changes are seen on the outside as our countenance is changed, revealing a new smile and a face through which his light shines out into the darkness for all to see. The good news this Halloween is that through faith in God, an everyday, ordinary squash can be transformed into a lantern of light, shining as a beacon in the dark night, and

COVER
The time of year is quickly approaching when our community comes together in support of military members during the holiday season. Pilots fly into the Chesterfield Airport to drop off toys. Agencies hold hat and mitten drives. Local companies hold fund raisers to deliver truck loads of items. Companies make donations of bikes and tricycles. Individuals donate children’s books, wagons and toys. Organizations volunteer and make monetary donations, and individuals drive to various locations to pick up and
deliver toys … It’s a true testimony to the dedication and gratitude our community has for our military. For those service members who need a little help with gifts for their children during the season, the Holiday Helper Program is there to assist. Help with a warm meal and a live tree with wrapped toys underneath are just a few of the many things Holiday Helper does for our military each year. For our families temporarily residing at the Fisher House in Richmond, Holiday Helper works directly with the director to ensure the needs of each family member are met.

Pick takes command of Fort Lee band Amy Perry Production/News Assistant Editor
Warrant Officer Kevin L. Pick took charge of the 392nd Army Band during an assumption of command ceremony Monday in one of the band’s rehearsal halls. Col. Paul K. Brooks, Fort Lee garrison commander, passed the guidon to Pick during the event and said he was impressed with the band leader’s biography, which covers a wide range of musical experience – most of it happening before he even joined the military. “Despite your credentials, I cannot express the significance or the magnitude of the responsibility you’re accepting today,” Brooks said. “You must never lose sight of that. You must accept and embrace the responsibility to lead these Soldiers – to prepare them as band members and Soldiers; to train them as world-class musicians and as war-fighters, prepared to do what is required to support our nation.” Saying that Pick’s new Soldiers are the future of Army music and of the Army
itself, Brooks said Pick has a lot on his shoulders to prepare them for their future careers. “It is now your responsibility to help them realize their potential, to teach them, to guide them and to train them,” he said. “We have great expectations of you. You will be challenged, but I have the utmost confidence in your ability to get the job done.” After thanking everyone who attended, Pick said he looked forward to his opportunity to serve as the band commander for the 392nd. “Today, I take on the responsibility that will be the most rewarding and challenging position of my career,” he said. “I’m charged to build a winning team of disciplined, fit and motivated Soldiers who will be able to accomplish any mission, anywhere. “I’m honored and humbled to be serving as the commander of this magnificent group of smart and talented Soldiermusicians,” Pick continued. “We have a lot of hard work ahead, but I know you will continue to work as … professionals.”

Renovation work at the Fort Lee Commissary is almost complete and Frank Hart, the store director, said he is thrilled with the results. “The store is looking great,” he said. “We have made many improvements, and I think our customers appreciate all that we have done to enhance their shopping experience.” Hart realizes that the renovation process was not easy on patrons and offered his thanks for their support over the past several months. “We really do appreciate the fact you continued to shop at our commissary, even though at times it was not an ideal situation,” he said. “We appreciate all of our customers and truly enjoy providing the commissary benefit to military families and retirees.” The extent of the renovation project and the fact the facility maintained most of its regular operations throughout the process is worthy of recognition. The results deserve a nod as well. They include new restrooms and updated checkout stands and cash registers at the front of the facility. The produce area was expanded, allowing the facility to stock more organic products. An additional 48 feet of shelf space was added to the chill and dairy section, which allows for expansion and greater selection in that department. In the interest of be-

ing more energy-efficient, other upgrades include a new roof, energy efficient water heaters and lighting, and a new heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. Furthermore, the whole store has a new décor package to tie everything together. While a few customers expressed frustration with the new layout which they have yet to figure out, most give the new look and modernized amenities an enthusiastic thumbs up. George Rimiller, a military retiree, said he particularly likes the seafood and produce departments. “The seafood department here is great,” he said. “They have a good selection and the prices are very reasonable. I also think they have a great produce section here; a good selection of fruits and vegetables.”
Angela Sanders, a military spouse, said she likes everything about the renovations, and especially appreciates the bakery and seafood departments. “I come to the seafood department about twice a month to get fresh fish,” she said. “I got some catfish last week and it was amazing. I love the deli and bakery; my favorite item is the zucchini walnut loaf.” Knowing how important the holidays are to his customers and how busy the store can be as families prepare for those large family meals, Hart touted two time-saving options for shoppers. The first is the special holiday merchandise section located just inside the entrance of the store. It is stocked with many of the items for traditional holiday dishes. SEE STORE, PAGE 18

AMERICA’S MILITARY | SPOTLIGHT
63& .$5, %2<(5 Unit: 392nd Army Band Age: 22 MOS: 42 Romeo, Bandsman What instruments do you play? “The flute and the piccolo.” Why did you join the Army? “I got a degree from Ohio State in Flute Performance, and I was looking for the next step. I heard about the Army’s band program. That’s the only reason I started looking into the Army at all; to get paid to play. That’s the goal, that’s why I am here.” How long have you been in the Army? “About 10 months, including training” What’s the best part of your job: “Feeling the moments when we affect the crowd. Being part of a special moment when we connect, when the crowd leans in and you feel them really appreciate a moment that you produce. As my secondary duty, I am the public affairs person for the band. In addition to rehearsing and playing daily, I take pictures at a lot of the events where we perform and I post
them on Facebook. I also do publicity for events coming up. The best part of the (public affairs) job is getting the “money shot” – the one you know is going to be good. When I post it later on Face Book or wherever, I know I am going to get great feedback about catching that moment.” Qualities you admire in your fellow Soldiers: “Dependability is a big one and just the fact that we’re all a great support system for each other. We all are like a big family in the unit, in the band here. The fact that you can count on everyone, no matter what you need them for.” Best thing about the Army: “The unity I feel with my fellow Soldiers. The feeling of family that comes with being in a group like the Army. You all share a lot of experiences and just feel at home with people from different backgrounds.” If you weren’t in the Army, what would you be doing? “I would probably still be in school getting my master’s degree. That’s another great thing about the Army. Even if this doesn’t become my
career, I will still have support and opportunities to go back to school, even while I am in the Army. That is something that I would love to keep pursuing as well.” Hobbies: “Reading, biking and hiking.” Favorite author: “Ayn Rand.”
Favorite books: “‘Anthem’ and ‘Fountainhead’” (both by Ayn Rand) Who inspired you? “Marina Piccinini, a flute player who teaches at the Peabody Conservatory at John Hopkins University. She was somebody I listened to growing up and always motivated me to keep getting better at my craft.” Other languages spoken: “French. I would like to take the language test for the Army and be able to provide that skill in any way that it may become useful while I am here.” What is the one thing you can’t live without: “My flute, for sure. Even if it is not playing for other people, playing and practicing is so fulfilling for me.” If you could have dinner with a celebrity or someone in history who would it be? “Jean-Pierre Rampal, French flutist” Three words to describe yourself: “Perseverant, dedicated and passionate.” Goals: “To improve every day. Whether it be music, or my job, or relationships or just as a person. Just whatever it is that I am doing.” – Compiled by Trish Muntean, Family/Community Life reporter

Surprise parties for retiring federal workers at Fort Lee are fairly common. Surprise softball games, however, fall into a much rarer category. The latter was chosen as the appropriate sendoff for Thomas Ariail, a government civilian employee and former Army Quartermaster officer with more than 30 years of combined federal service. His staff in the Captain’s Career Course Training Department at the Army Logistics University organized a cook-out and sports contest that took place Friday at the baseball field on A Avenue. The whole affair was kept hush-hush until Ariail was notified of an “urgent matter that required his immediate attention.� “I was abruptly taken out of a meeting with my boss this afternoon and literally driven over here to this ballfield for what turned out to be a very wonderful celebration,� said Ariail

Ariail succinctly answered that
question. “The team knows I’m a bit of a sports enthusiast, so (this type of sendoff) really is a perfect fit.� Ariail is one of those sustainment lifers who call the Fort Lee area “home.� Cherished memories include long-time friends like John Whiteside – a supplier of many snack-bar hotdogs to young officers in training at the logistics SEE SOFTBALL, PAGE 18

HOLIDAYS | Community helps offer
holiday joy for military families Continued from page 2 military affiliation just want to ensure our service members have a bright and joyous holiday. Many help service members as a way to say thank you for their service and sacrifices made while defending our country. Holiday Helper is an all-volunteer organization. From the board of directors to the wrappers who decorate the service member’s selections on shopping days, it takes time and commitment to make this event successful. Support comes from
community members, business leaders, elected officials, military commanders, state and federal employees, corporation/ industry employees, churches, school groups, grants, foundations, associations, and many others. Fort Lee units conduct toy runs, toy drives and even compete with each other to raise funds – all to benefit and support their own. Fort Lee agencies and directorates hold golf tournaments, motorcycle poker runs, pancake breakfasts, chili cook-offs and other events to do their part in supporting military families. All of this support allows
Holiday Helper to provide toys to more than 1,000 children annually. There are families facing “situations” about which most of us are unaware. For them, this program is a blessing. Mothers have arrived at the toy store in tears, so grateful to know that their children will have gifts under the tree. Parents have shown such gratitude for the outpouring of support that they have come back to the Holiday Helper toy store to volunteer. Holiday Helper provides support where the need is greatest. And, with continued community support, future opportunities to include scholarships for children of our junior ranking military are possible. Commanders, donors and volunteers
are invited to attend the Holiday Helper toy store Open House Dec. 12, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Fort Lee leaders and civilians are encouraged to tour the facility to see what our community has been able to accomplish to benefit our military families. Military shopping days are Dec. 16-17. Units will be notified of their scheduled date and time to shop. If anyone has questions regarding the program, visit the website at www.holidayhelperassociation. com or send an email to email@ holidayhelperassociation.com. Nomination forms went out to commanders Monday. The completed forms are due back no later than Dec. 1. Get the nominations in early so coordination efforts can begin.

+ROLGD\ IDYRULWH ¶:KLWH &KULVWPDV· RSHQV DW /HH 7KHDWHU 1RY If you are dreaming of a white Christmas, the Lee Theater is the place to be in November. Kick off the holiday season with the musical “White Christmas,”which opens Nov. 7 and plays until Nov. 23. “White Christmas” performances are Fridays and Saturdays, Nov. 7, 8, 14, 15, 21 and 22 at 8 p.m., and Sundays, Nov. 9, 16 and 23 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $13 (adults) and $7 (youth). “The production tells the story of two ex-Army pals who team up with a pair of singing sisters to put on a show to save a picturesque Vermont ski lodge that has fallen on hard times. The stage version of “White Christmas” is based on the beloved 1954 film starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen. “‘White Christmas’ is usually at the top of the list of favorite holiday movies,” said director and choreographer Amy Perdue. “The musical
is not exactly the same, but what it does have in common with the movie is great singing, dancing, laughter and romance. This show is a holiday gift that should be on everyone’s Christmas list.” The script is by David Ives and Paul Blake and the show features some of Irving Berlin’s most memorable songs: “I Love a Piano,” “How Deep is the Ocean,” “The Best Things Happen While You’re Dancing,” “Snow,” “Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep,” and of course “White Christmas.” “Irving Berlin had a knack for writing timeless tunes that listeners can’t get out of their head – not that they would want to,” said musical director Joshua N. Wortham. “You can’t help but walk away from this show singing the familiar refrains of songs like ‘White Christmas’ or ‘Blue Skies.’ Some writers are able to capture a melody, a mood, a memory in such a spe-
cial way that generations have and will continue to be captivated by such tunes. I dare you not to get caught up in the charming nostalgia that is the foundation of this show,”said Wortham. Charles Wissinger and Travis West star as World War II veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis. After the war, Bob and Phil enjoy a successful song-and-dance career. With romance on their minds, the two follow the Haynes Sisters, a duo of beautiful singing sisters en route to their Christmas show at the lodge in Vermont. The talented sisters are portrayed by Mellen Minton Heggie (Betty) and Jenny Fralin (Judy). The lodge just happens to be owned by Bob and Phil’s former Army commander. The building and its owner have fallen on hard times – no snow, no guests – so plans are made for a big show to save the resort. A little mischief, a few misunderstandings

Survey will assess advisory panel option Fort Lee is conducting a survey to determine if a Restoration Advisory Board, which is designed to increase environmental awareness between the installation and the community, would be supported by local participants. A RAB is made up of representatives from local, state, and federal agencies, and interested citizens who reflect the diverse interests of the local community. The RAB would serve as a forum to exchange information between Fort Lee and the community regarding ongoing environmental restoration activities and those planned for the future. If sufficient interest is indicated, Fort Lee would petition the local community for volunteers to serve one year on the RAB. Members would be required to attend regular meetings and training on the restoration program. They also would review, evaluate and comment on plans relating to ongoing environmental restoration activities here. To complete a community interest survey or to ask questions about it, contact the Restoration Program Manager at (804) 734-5068 or harold.hennigar.ctr@ mail.mil. Requests for information also may be mailed to the Restoration Program Manager at the Fort Lee Environmental Management Office, ATTN: Harold Hennigar, 825 19th St., Fort Lee, VA 23801. – Environmental Management Office

When Marines hear the quote – “We’ve been looking for the enemy for some time now. We’ve finally found him. We’re surrounded. That simplifies things.” – they will tell you that Marine Corps legend Lt. Gen. Lewis B. “Chesty” Puller cited that remark during the fight at Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War. Who is this Chesty Puller? Only the most decorated Marine in the Corp’s 239-year history. As a tribute to the many accomplishments Puller made to the Corps and his country, the U.S. Marine Corps Detachment Fort Lee embarked on its 21st annual Chesty Puller run Friday. The detachment completed the 66-mile journey by relay and in a formation run – with more than 300 Marines – for the last four miles through the town of Saluda to his grave site at Christ Church. “We are here today to pay trib-

ute to Lt. Gen. Lewis B. ‘Chesty’ Puller and his leadership, tenacity and unbending commitment to Marines,” Lt. Col. Thomas H.
Gilley IV, detachment commanding officer, said to the gathered Marines. “As a band of brothers, we will reflect on the legacy of
Chesty Puller and pay proper tribute to him.” Puller was born in West Point on June 26, 1898, and joined the Marine Corps in 1918. He served in World War I, the Banana Wars, World War II and the Korean Conflict until 1955 when he retired at the rank of lieutenant general. While at the cemetery, Marines took turns reading excerpts from his biography, highlighting his many accomplishments. Puller earned five Navy Cross medals during his career and the citations were discussed to emphasize his leadership abilities. Marines who participated in the run said the event is something special that not every Marine gets to experience. “It is a true honor to be at the gravesite of Lt. Gen. Puller, one of the greatest generals in the Marine Corps, one of the greatest generals in the world,” said Pvt. Antwan Powell, Alpha Company student. “It is an extremely great feeling to be part of this run today and be one
of the few who have participated in this event over the years.” At the end of the readings, Gilley and Master Gunnery Sgt. Tony C. Smith, Marine Corps Food Service School staff noncommissioned officer in charge, placed wreaths at Puller and his wife Virginia’s grave markers as a salute to their service. They also offered up a toast in his honor. Puller died Oct. 11, 1971, at the age of 73 after a long illness. Puller remains a well-known figure in Marine Corps history with both true and exaggerated tales of his experiences being constantly handed down by Marines. They are told of his legendary feats starting the first days of boot camp. Many cadences are dedicated to Puller. Along with earning five Navy Crosses, some of his other awards and decorations include; Army Distinguished Service Cross (equivalent to the Navy Cross); Silver Star Medal; Legion of Merit with combat “V” (2nd award); Bronze Star with combat “V”; Purple Heart; Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal (2nd award); World War I Victory Medal; Haitian Campaign Medal; Nicaraguan Campaign Medal; China Service Medal; AsiaticPacific Campaign Medal; World War II Victory Medal and Korean Service Medal.

)RUW /HH KDV \HDU ROG 4XDUWHUPDVWHU FRQQHFWLRQ After the bloody stalemate at Cold Harbor on the outskirts of Richmond in 1864, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and his Army of the Potomac turned south to the important transportation hub of Petersburg. If Grant could take the city and choke off supplies to Richmond he could starve out the Confederate capital and force Gen. Robert E. Lee to surrender or force the abandonment of Petersburg/ On June 15, Grant moved his headquarters, including the Quartermaster Department, to City Point (in the present day Hopewell). Located at the confluence of the James and Appomattox rivers, roughly 10 miles northeast of Petersburg, it was an important transportation hub. The Union headquarters was served by the rivers and the nearby rail line, which pro-
vided a link to the soughtafter city. After the initial assault on Petersburg failed, Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia dug in for a long fight. As the Union army attempted to flank Confederate troops, each army became entrenched encircling the outskirts of Petersburg. While Grant’s supply depot grew, his troops took advantage of the City Point line to supply its forces at the front. In late August, neither army made any significant headway, and Grant finally lamented that it “may be months yet” before they take Richmond. At the prompting of Gen. George Meade, he authorized the construction of a connecting spur of the existing railroad that would reach from Pitkin Station – on the existing City Point line – to
the Weldon railroad on the southwest. This new line used troops and supplies coming from City Point and dispersed them along the Union front, a logistical advantage the Confederacy lacked. Construction of the rail started on Sept. 1 and by Sept. 10, seven miles had been laid. The new line passed through the western boundary of present-day Fort Lee and a small area of the railroad bed is preserved as an archaeological site. Through documentary and archaeological research, artifacts and information have been recovered that verify the site, first as a location of conflict during the initial attack on Petersburg, then as a logistical thoroughfare for the railroad and as a reserve camp site for Union forces. In addition to the advan-
tage created by the railway, the area now encompassed by the post served as a valuable intermediary position between City Point and the front lines. Houses that once belonged to families such as the Bryant’s the Armistead’s and the Burchette’s were abandoned and taken over by Union forces. The large homes were used as headquarters, hospitals, and reserve and supply camps while many of the smaller outbuildings were salvaged.

CDC offers information on Ebola, tips for preventing disease Ebola, previously known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a rare and deadly disease caused by infection with one of the Ebola virus strains. Ebola can cause disease in humans and nonhuman primates such as monkeys, gorillas and chimpanzees. Ebola viruses are found in several African countries. Ebola was first discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Since then, outbreaks have appeared sporadically in Africa. More than 10,000 cases have been reported in three West African countries; however, the United States only has had four confirmed cases of Ebola, stemming from travel-associated contact and local transmission. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has offered the following frequently asked questions. For more on Ebola, visit www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola. How do I protect myself against Ebola? If you must travel to an area affected by the 2014 Ebola outbreak, protect yourself by doing the following: • Wash hands frequently or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. • Avoid contact with blood and body fluids of any person, particularly someone who is sick. • Do not handle items that may have come in contact with an infected person’s blood or body fluids. • Do not touch the body of someone who has died from Ebola. • Do not touch bats and nonhuman primates or their blood and fluids and do not touch or eat raw meat prepared from these animals. • Avoid facilities in West Africa where Ebola patients are being treated. The U.S. Embassy or consulate is often able to provide advice on medical facilities. • Seek medical care immediately if you develop fever, headache, muscle pain, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, or unexplained bruising or bleeding. • Limit contact with other people until and when you go to the doctor. Do not travel anywhere else besides a health care facility. CDC has issued a Warning, Level 3 travel notice for U.S. citizens to avoid nonessential travel to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra

Leone. CDC also has issued an Alert, Level 2 travel notice for the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A small number of Ebola cases have been reported in the DRC, though current information indicates that this outbreak is not related to the ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa. What does CDC’s Travel Alert Level 3 mean to U.S. travelers? CDC recommends that U.S. residents avoid nonessential travel to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. If you must travel (for example, to do for humanitarian aid work in response to the outbreak) protect yourself by following CDC’s advice for avoiding contact with the blood and body fluids of people who are ill with Ebola. Travel notices are designed to inform travelers and clinicians about current health issues related to specific destinations. These issues may arise from disease outbreaks, special events or gatherings, natural disasters, or other conditions that may affect travelers’ health. A level 3 alert means that there is a high risk to travelers and that CDC advises that travelers avoid nonessential travel. I am a U.S. resident experiencing some flu-like symptoms (e.g. fever, headache, muscle aches). How do I know if I have seasonal influenza or Ebola? Seasonal influenza and Ebola virus in-
fection can cause some similar symptoms. However, of these viruses, your symptoms are most likely caused by seasonal influenza, which is very common. Millions of people are infected, hundreds of thousands are hospitalized and thousands die from flu each year. In the United States, fall and winter is the time for flu. While the exact timing and duration of flu seasons vary, outbreaks often begin in October and can last as late as May. Most of the time, flu activity peaks between December and February. It is usually not possible to determine whether a patient has seasonal influenza or Ebola infection based on symptoms alone. However, there are tests to detect seasonal influenza and Ebola infection. Your doctor will determine if you should be tested for these illnesses based on your symptoms, clinical presentation and recent travel or exposure history. What is being done to prevent ill travelers in West Africa from getting on a plane? CDC’s Division of Global Migration and Quarantine is working with airlines, airports and ministries of health to provide technical assistance for the development of exit screening and travel restrictions in the affected areas. This includes: • Assessing the ability of Ebola-
affected countries and airports to conduct exit screening, • Assisting with development of exit screening protocols, • Training staff on exit screening protocols and appropriate PPE use, and • Training in-country staff to provide future trainings. What do I do if I’m returning to the U.S. from the area where the outbreak is occurring? After you return, pay attention to your health. Monitor your health for 21 days if you were in an area with an Ebola outbreak, especially if you were in contact with blood or body fluids, items that have come in contact with blood or body fluids, animals or raw meat, or facilities where Ebola patients were being treated or participated in burial rituals. Seek medical care immediately if you develop fever, headache, muscle pain, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, or unexplained bruising or bleeding. Tell your doctor about recent travel and symptoms before going to his or her office or the emergency room. Advance notice will help the doctor care for you and protect other people who may be in the office. Why were the ill Americans with Ebola brought to the U.S. for treatment? How is CDC protecting the American public? A U.S. citizen has the right to return to the United States. Although CDC can use several measures to prevent disease from being introduced here, it must balance the public health risk to others with the rights of the individual. In this situation, the patients who came back to the United States for care were transported with appropriate infection control procedures in place to prevent the disease from being transmitted to others. Ebola poses no substantial risk to the U.S. general population. CDC recognizes that Ebola causes a lot of public worry and concern, but its mission is to protect the health of all Americans, including those who may become ill while overseas. Ebola patients can be transported and managed safely when appropriate precautions are used. (A town hall meeting for installation employees is scheduled for 1 p.m. Nov. 6 at the Post Theater. A second article with localized information related to the Ebola outbreak will be published in next week’s Traveller.) – Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

SOFTBALL | Thomas Ariail is
recognized for 30 years of federal service Continued from page 5 university. “He is now 83 years old,” Ariail said, “and I still see him often because he’s right down the hall from where I work.” During Ariail’s 23-year stint as an Army officer, he held command and staff positions in several combat-arms organizations including the 82nd Airborne Division, the 1st Armor Division and the 3rd Infantry Division. He also was an aide-de-camp for the commanding general, Army Readiness and Mobilization Region IV, and an assignment officer for quartermaster majors at the U.S. Army Personnel Command. He was a lieutenant colonel when he retired from the service. He went on to work for the Commonwealth of Virginia and General Dynamics Corporation for the next six years before transitioning to a faculty position at ALU. Over the past few decades, Ariail said the “fundamentals of sustainment” haven’t changed much, but the effort to build multifunctional logisticians at the leadership level has grown by leaps and bounds. “I think it’s one of the smartest things (our sustainment leaders) have done in this business,” he added. “We’re building a logistics corps where we recognize that officers, particularly at company- and field-grade level, need to be well-versed across the spectrum of supply and services to solve any problems that arise. I think that’s a magnificent approach and

it has made us much more responsive to (operational requirements).” Ariail’s departing words of advice to current and future students of CLC3 (or ALU in general for that matter) are simple – take ownership of “your” career field. “Frankly, we can put the best (logisticians) on earth on the (teaching platform), but the value that’s obtained from the course comes from what the student puts into it ... how much they participate. So, it’s important to capitalize on the opportunity the Army has given you. This is 20 weeks (length of CLC3) when you should reflect and learn. I’ve always turned the needle toward (the students) to make sure they understand that they really, truly get from it what they put into it.” The CLC3 faculty members who organized the ballgame began assembling around home plate for a group photo with Ariail. He settled into their midst with the ease of a long-time coach who invested the time to build strong bonds with his players. “I treasure my time and my association with these magnificent instructors,” Ariail said with a bit of wistfulness. “This is a fabulous department with individuals who are totally committed to turning out first-class logisticians. There are none finer in our Army.” When Ariail is officially retired, he said he’ll spend two weeks “doing every single thing I want to do when I want to do it.” After that, he plans to stay active through volunteer service that helps people with disabilities and veterans.
“By having most of the items consolidated in one section, customers can go down the line of displays in that area and pick the items they want, saving time,” Hart said. The store director also reminded the community about the Click2Go grocery ordering service. The Fort Lee Commissary is

Customers can order grocery items online at www. commissaries.com and pick them up curbside anytime between 11 a.m. - 7 p.m., Tuesday-Friday.

5XOHV UHVWULFW SROLWLFDO DFWLYLW\ E\ '2' SHUVRQQHO WASHINGTON – With election day on Tuesday, it’s important to keep in mind that military members and Defense Department civilians are subject to rules that regulate their involvement in political activities. Several sets of rules help to protect the integrity of the political process, DOD officials said. DOD Directive 1344.10 applies to members of the armed forces – whether they serve on active duty, as members of the reserve components not on active duty, as National Guard members in a non-federal status or military retirees. In addition, the Hatch Act applies to federal civilian employees as well as widely published DOD guidance that discusses participation in political campaigns and elections. These rules are designed to prevent mil-
itary members’ or federal civilian employees’ participation in political activities that imply – or even appear to imply – official sponsorship, approval or endorsement, officials said. The concern, they explained, is that actual or perceived partisanship could undermine the legitimacy of the military profession and department. That’s not to imply, however, that military members and civilian employees can’t participate in politics. In fact, DOD has a longstanding policy of encouraging members to carry out the obligations of citizenship, officials said. DOD encourages its military and civilian members to register to vote and vote as they choose, they said. Both groups can sign nominating petitions for candidates and express their personal opinions about candidates and issues. However, officials emphasized, they
can do so only if they don’t act as, or aren’t perceived as, representatives of the armed forces in carrying out these activities. Beyond that, the list of do’s and don’ts differs depending on whether the employee is a member of the armed forces, a career civil service employee, a political appointee or a member of the career Senior Executive Service, officials said. Military members, for example, may attend political meetings or rallies only as spectators and not in uniform. They’re not permitted to make public political speeches, serve in any official capacity in partisan groups, or participate in partisan political campaigns or conventions. They also are barred from engaging in any political activities while in uniform. Soldiers are not allowed to display political signs at their housing units on military installations, however, they can place political stickers on their vehicles, but not large signs, banners or posters. Most civilian DOD employees, whose political activities are governed by the Hatch Act, are permitted to be active in and speak before political gatherings and
serve as officers of political parties or partisan groups, officials said. These activities, however, cannot involve fundraising. Civilian employees also are permitted to manage campaigns, distribute literature, write political articles or serve as a spokesperson for a party or candidate. While civilian employees may place political stickers and signs on their personal vehicles, they are not allowed to display political items or photographs of candidates in their office space. There are, however, exceptions to this, including but not limited to Senior Executive Service. While the do’s and don’ts concerning political activity may vary, the basic tenets hold true for all DOD employees. The bottom line, officials said, is that they should steer clear of any activity that may be reasonably viewed as directly or indirectly associating DOD or the military with a partisan political activity, or that “is otherwise contrary to the spirit or intent” of the rules described. – Army News Service
