The Army Family Team Building program celebrated its 21st birthday at the Army Community Service at Fort Eustis, Virginia, Dec. 16, 2015. According to Nikiesha Virgil, the AFTB program manager, the program is open to all members of the Joint Base Langley-Eustis community, and is a volunteer-run program designed to teach family members the skills and resources needed to become self-reliant, self-sufficient and resilient members of the military community. “The purpose of the AFTB is to help Soldiers, family members and civilians become better well-rounded individuals,” said Virgil. “We teach family members about military life and how they find their place in that life. We also teach them how they can become a part of and function in a military environment, and how to better leaders, not only, in terms of a professional environment but also in their families, communities and organizations, in which they belong.”
“The purpose of the AFTB is to help Soldiers, family members and civilians become better well-rounded individuals.We teach family members about military life and how they find their place in that life.” — Nikiesha Virgil AFTB program manager
Beginning in 1992, the AFTB concept started between senior leaders and spouses who saw a need to educate family members on military life. A policy letter was signed by the then U.S. Army Chief of Staff, General Dennis J. Reimer, and Sergeant Major of the Army Richard E. Hall, Dec. 19,

The Army Family Team Building (AFTB) celebrated its 21st birthday, at the Army Community Service at Fort Eustis, Va., Dec. 16, 2015.The AFTB is a unique program which gives participants an understanding of Army culture, personal growth and leadership skills hosted monthly.
1994, declaring the AFTB as an official Army program. Organized in three different levels of classes, the first level teaches basic information about the Army. Family members, civilians and some Soldiers are taught how to maneuver through daily challenges by learning acronyms, utilizing community resources, attaining financial readiness and understanding the mission of the Army. In the second level, the module teaches participants how to not only improve personal relationships and communications, but the importance of stress management. Dealing with crisis, grief and unexpected change is also very important in this set of classes, said Virgil. The third and final set of classes helps participants tap into their leadership skills through effective communication techniques and the ability to mentor others. “Soldiers have access to [many] resources that enable them to really understand their place in the military,” said Virgil. “This program is designed to give an in depth focus on the family members’ needs and how those needs change.” For the last 21 years, the AFTB has remained flexible in its teachings as a
way to consistently meet the needs of family members by undergoing periodic reviews and updates. Changes in duty location, job stressors and deployments can all take a toll on one’s family. The classes, which can be taken more than once, help family members and Soldiers understand change in not only in their personal lives but in the military as well. “People often need the skills to deal with that ever-changing, constantly evolving environment,” said Virgil. “Our courses not only help people understand change but also adapt to it. This great service given to our family members is to essentially help them grasp what the Soldiers might go through.” Whether it is a Soldier who already knows the rank and structure or the mission of the Army, to a new spouse who is coming in, most say they have learned something, said Virgil. “In my opinion, the goal of the AFTB is to enable the individual to thrive in not only a military environment but as a citizen of the world,” concluded Virgil. For more information, to volunteer or to sign up for classes, call the ACS at 878-3638.

Approximately 83 U.S. Service members, their families and civilian employees gathered outside Anderson Field House at Fort Eustis, Virginia, to participate in the 5K kickoff for the Civilian Fitness Commander’s Cup Challenge, Jan. 7, 2016. According to Darlene Basuedayva, Fort Eustis health promotion ofďŹ cer, the Fort Eustis Community Health Promotion Council initiated the six-month competition to reinvigorate the ďŹ tness culture for civilian community members at Joint Base Langley-Eustis. “We wanted to make sure we got our civilians moving as part of the performance triad, which includes getting enough sleep, nutrition and physical ďŹ tness,â€? said Basuedayva, The challenge highlights Army Regulation 663, which allows for Department of Defense employees to participate in three hours of command-sponsored ďŹ tness activities per week. Throughout the challenge, the Health Promotions OfďŹ ce will host activities ranging from â€œďŹ tness lunchand-learns,â€? to runs and free ďŹ tness assessments as a way to promote challenge participation. According to Basuedayva, the challenge not only gets participants into shape, but encourages them to become more aware of their physical activities and health practices in general as it requires tallying points earned from events throughout the challenge.

CIVILIAN COMMANDER’S CUP FROM PAGE 3 For some participants, the importance of ďŹ tness improvements was established before the kickoff began. “I stopped running last year ... and I’d been giving all these excuses as to why I hadn’t started again, so this was the perfect opportunity,â€? said Rebecca Betit, a program analyst with U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command’s G1/4. Betit took advantage of attending the competitions kickoff to not only get back into working out, but to build camaraderie with coworkers. “I think this is great because the guy sitting next to you is encouraging you,â€? said Betit. “I work with Jojuan Huber, who helped organize the challenge. She sits two desks away from me, so the motivation is constantly there.â€? Diane Hamlet, the memorial affairs coordinator for the Fort Eustis Casualty Assistance Center, also felt the challenge was a way to promote esprit de corps between civilians and their military counterparts. “I like to be part of team environments,
and I think this promotes such,â€? said Hamlet. “It allows the civilians to feel a part of what the military that they support.â€? While a civilian competition, military members including installation leadership participated to support their civilian team members in their ďŹ tness journey. “We really have a symbiotic relationship,â€? said Maj. Gen. Anthony C. Funkhouser, commander of TRADOC Center for Initial Military Training. “Our organizations are made up of military members and DoD civilians - we’re one team one ďŹ ght - so together this is a part of sharing the same initiatives to take care of the civilian’s health and welfare as well.â€? While the 5K kicked off the start of the challenge, those interested in participating can still register through Feb. 10, by emailing civilianďŹ tnessjble@gmail.com. Upon registration, entrants will receive a welcome email detailing the competitions events as well as a breakdown of the contest’s points system.
