Fort Jackson held a virtual town hall Aug. 10, not to discuss COVID-related is-sues, but rather focus on another important area of the installation – equal opportunity and the post’s climate and culture.

Climate is the mood of an organization, while culture is the sum of the habits and behaviors of that organization, said Brig. Gen. Milford H. “Beags” Beagle Jr., Fort Jackson commander, as he opened the event.

Every year Fort Jackson holds a survey to determine where it is in relation to its cli-mate and culture.

“Embedded in all of that,” Beagle said, “is equal opportunity and how we treat oth-ers with dignity and respect.”

There is a command climate survey coming out in September and Beagle wants

everyone to participate.“If you are part of our workforce at Fort

Jackson, whether civilian or military, we need your support and we need your feed-back,” he said. “We need to hear your voice. Every voice counts when we are talking about something as important as our cli-mate and culture.”

The installation is not immune to the events going across the country, “because we are cut from the cloth of our society; our great nation,” Beagle said. “The Army is not perfect but we strive very hard to ensure we don’t have issues with racism, inclusion or diversity.”

EO helps keep the Army and Fort Jack-son straight and maintain trust in the orga-nization.

Master Sgt. Marritsa Collins, Fort Jack-son’s Equal Opportunity Advisor, said the foundation of the Army’s EO program is based on treating everyone with dignity and

respect.“When you treat them with dignity and

respect you can make a fair observation when rating or promoting an individual,” she said. When you create a culture of inclusion that values everyone, you can “cre-ate a strong and more effective work environment.”

The command climate sur-vey is a key in ensuring the work environment is improved and trust within an organization is maintained.

It is part of an approach that is a “constant loop of feedback where we can improve, where we can assess and look at our climate, our culture and make the right adjustments to where we improve and maintain a healthy climate and culture,” Beagle said.

Even though results of command cli-mate surveys done since March 2018 have

shown increase in respondent rates, Beagle cautioned not to let the minority speak for the majority. The May 2019 survey had a

respondent rate of 26% which is the highest in four years.

Survey results have indicat-ed improvements in six areas of organization effectiveness to one area, organizational processes, “where we still have a bit of concern.” The May 2019 survey showed an improvement in knowledge of

Sexual Harassment/Assault Response Pre-vention.

To get better Fort Jackson uses Tiger Teams that listen and leverage insights across the installation to gain a clearer pic-ture of the challenges and opportunities to improve the post’s climate and culture.

The yearly command climate survey will run from Sept. 14 to Oct. 16.

“I am transitioning from active duty and was able to par-ticipate in the Career Skills Program,” said Sgt. Porch Colts, a 42A – Human Resource Specialist working in the Company D, 3rd Battalion, 60th Infantry Regiment training room. “I was ������������ �������������������������������������}�������,�%��"*����������������������������~�� ������������������of my new job.”

As a component of the Soldier life cycle, the Career Skills Program provides Soldiers with opportunities to participate in career and employment skill training during their last 180 days of military service. CSP opportunities include pre-apprentice-

ships, apprenticeships, internships, employment skills and on the job training in a variety of industries.

The programs are of little to no cost for Soldiers. For pro-grams that do require funding, the Post 911 GI Bill, Montgom-ery GI Bill and Credentialing Assistance can help cover costs.

While not promised, Soldiers often receive employment of-fers while participating in the programs. Like Colts, they will have the ability to step out of their boots and into work shoes within a matter of weeks after leaving military service. Which can also mean peace of mind for transitioning Soldiers who may worry about employment after military service.

“I wish they offered this program when I was getting out,” said Jude Marranco, a 20 plus-year Army military police veter-an and division chief of Fort Jackson’s Army Continuing Edu-

cation Services, or Education Center. The program is interchangeable with skills learned through a

military occupation specialty or a career that peaks a Soldier’s interests. While the main goal of the program is to set Soldiers up for as much success in a civilian career as they were in the military, reduce veteran homelessness, prevent veteran Fami-lies from living below poverty lines, but also ensures a Soldier gets a job in a career they really want.

There are two paths within the program – approved and indi-vidual programs. Approved programs are established programs that have been vetted and approved by Fort Jackson and include the Veteran Affairs Warrior Training Advancement Course and Hiring Our Heroes.

The mission of the SFL-TAP is to successfully transition Soldiers from active duty to the civilian sector by preparing them to be career-ready, mak-ing for educational or entrepreneurial opportunities, and connecting them to avenues that lead to civilian success. The program is a congressionally mandated program requiring that all Soldiers begin their transi-tion no later than 12 months prior to their separation date. It is recommended retirees start the transition process 24 months and all others 18 months before their separation date. It is strongly recommended Soldiers go early and often to increase the chances �����(��������������������������������������from the program.

At a glance, this year’s drill sergeant of the year seems tailor-made for the part, down to the classic squared-jaw, stony-eyed glare capable of striking fear into young re-cruits.

But to Staff Sgt. Erik Rostamo, the award means more than terrifying trainees or roaring the loudest; it’s about turning America’s youth into a skilled combat-ready force.

Still, it’s not hard to picture Rostamo wildly shouting at hundreds of recruits as they scurry off a bus into their ������������������������������������������������ �� �������������������������������� ���������������his brown round hat.

If Hollywood was looking to cast a drill sergeant – he’s their guy. But being a drill sergeant goes beyond the hot-headed characters played on camera, he said. All the blus-������������������������������������������������into highly-skilled warriors. “That’s just not how trainees learn.”

Since graduating from the Army Drill Sergeant Acad-emy at Fort Jackson, South Carolina in October 2018, he’s been the gatekeeper for roughly 600 new troops on their way into the Army, something he said has been “the great-est job in the world.”

Make no mistake – no matter how cool, calm, and col-lected he is, there’s still time for discipline, he said, just like “there’s a time to turn it off and on.”

4th Battalion,39th Infantry Regiment‘I became a soldier ...’

SPC. HANNAH KREUSER, 19Green Bay, Wisconsin

“I joined the Army because I wanted to do something I loved while providing a way to further my education and pursue my career goals.”

“The Army surpassed my expectations because of the numerous opportunities and connections it provides along with the variety of people I’ve been able to meet.”

“The most challenging part of Basic Combat Train-ing was learning how to prevent and treat blisters.”

“My MOS is 42R - Musician (Percussion). I chose this MOS because I love to play music.

“I’d like to thank all the drill sergeants and cadre who worked tirelessly to make sure we were squared away. I look forward to Advanced Individual Training and developing as a Soldier.”

PFC. ZACHARY TREUTING, 23Manassas Park, Virginia

“Serving in the military has been a tradition in my Family and I’m proud to continue it.”

“The Army is easier than I thought it would be. I was expecting more of a physical challenge.”

“I found learning to work with complete strangers to accomplish a mission to be the hardest part of Basic Combat Training.”

“My MOS is 13B – Cannon Crewmember. I chose this MOS because I love being a part of a team and the science of Field Artillery.”

“I look forward to seeing the world and what the Army has to offer.”

PFC. COLLIN FRISCH, 18Bowie, Maryland

“I joined the Army because my wife and I are military brats; I want to lead America’s best.”

“Guiding extremely young trainees was a challenging part of Basic Combat Train-ing. I typically don’t interact with 17-20 year olds in my civilian career, so this was a learning curve.”

NEWS

By DEVON SUITSArmy News Service

The Army has launched the new Digital Garrison mobile app that provides information and facilitates access to a full ar-ray of on-post services, as part of a partnership with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service, or AAFES.

The app, which can be downloaded on Android and Apple devices, provides users with secure access to facility informa-tion and other “quality-of-life” services by consolidating data from three related networks, said Scott Malcom, Army Instal-lation Management Command public affairs director.

“It puts real-time installation information in everybody’s

pockets,” Malcom said. “There are hundreds of thousands of people that access Army installations every day. Almost every one carries a cell phone. The app will add value to their time spent on an installation – whether it is to live, work, train, or play.”

Within the easy-to-use app, Soldiers, Families, veterans, and civilians living or working at a Digital Garrison-enabled post can access resources about their local exchange; Army Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation program; and other services.

More than 60 installations are represented on the app, with plans to add more in future updates, Malcom said. Joint bases operated by other services and select garrisons without sites on

the networks that feed the app will not be incorporated in the initial launch.

Users can customize the app to meet their needs. Digital Garrison will include an installation directory, gate locations ����������������������������������� ��������������-mation, and more, he said.

Soldiers and Families who are new to an area can also ac-cess in-processing and other newcomer material before a per-manent change of station, Malcom said.

“When they do move, they enjoy the continuity provided by an enterprise solution,” he added.

New app serves as guide to on-post services

By DAVID BENNETTArmy Substance Abuse Program Specialist

As more and more products hit the market containing Hemp/CBD with claims of curing most any aliment, it has become very important for our federal employees to understand the policy regarding the use of these products.

The 2018 Agricultural Improvement Act, also known ��� ��������}����� ������������� �������������marijuana within the Controlled Substance Act. How-ever; it must be noted that the bill states the delta-9-tet-rahydrocannabinol, or THC, level of the hemp derived products must be no greater than 0.3% in order to meet �����������������

Hemp/CBD products that exceed the THC threshold are considered a Schedule I Controlled Substance, the same as marijuana. A Schedule I Controlled Substance is a drug or other substance with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.

The Farm Bill has led to many questions regarding the impact of the use of these products on federal drug testing. The Drug-Free Workplace Program position on marijuana has remained unchanged; any product that contains greater than 0.3% of THC can cause a positive drug test for THC for those who fall under the Federal Drug Testing Program. Since the Food and Drug Admin-istration does not certify levels of THC in these products, manufactures are solely responsible for determining the THC content in their products. That puts consumers in a buyer beware situation, which is never good when your

career or future career could be on the line. Studies have shown that some CBD product labels do

not ac��������������������������"���������� ���84 CBD products were tested, nearly 70% of the product labels were found to be inconsistent with the compounds listed. Some products contained unlabeled cannabi-noids, including THC in amounts up to 6.4 mg/mL. In that case, an employee’s drug test may be positive for the THC metabolite, due to the level of THC in the CBD product.

The bottom line is that under the DFWP, there is no legitimate medical explanation for a THC positive test ������ ���� ����� �� ������ ����������� ��� ������������������������� &��������� �'��� ������ +�������-cants and employees within the executive branch agen-cies covered by the DFWP and who are in Test Designat-ed Positions will continue to be tested for THC using the established delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acide test cutoffs. For that reason, not only should all federal agencies inform applicants and employees of the risk that using such products pose, but employees should educate themselves of the risk and possibility that these products may result in a THC positive test.

For more information regarding mandatory testing guidelines you can visit:

By the time he gets home, it’s typically in the late-evening hours. His wife of two years, Nicole – who is expecting their second child in September – and their daughter, Mi-kayla, are usually asleep. A few hours later, while the girls are still in bed, he wakes to start another day. His hat waiting for him in the truck.

“I’ve never heard him complain,” said his brother, Staff Sgt. Ryan Rostamo, an Army recruiter in Buffalo, Minnesota. “Be-ing on drill orders can be harder than being deployed because even though you’re physi-cally home, it’s only for a few hours. My brother has handled it well.”

The days are long, the drill sergeant said, and the hours are taxing for the entire family. Without Nicole, none of it would be possible. She gives him unconditional support, as well as takes on more than her share of family ad-ministrative duties, he said.

“I don’t know how she does it. She is the backbone of our family,” Rostamo said. “It’s hard. At (Basic Combat Training), our chain of command does their best to accommodate time off for drill sergeants, because the fami-lies suffer” due to the long hours.

But the drill sergeants understand their mission, too.

“(Drill sergeants are) responsible for our nation’s sons and daughters,” he said, add-ing it’s a duty that demands excellence and that he doesn’t take lightly. “It’s the greatest responsibility someone could give. I’m tak-ing civilians and turning them into the next ���������� ���������/

New Soldiers will remember their drill sergeants forever, he said. “Drill sergeants need to embrace the long hours, because, for ���� ��������� ���� ��� ������������ ���-�������� �� ��� ��(���������� �����corps.”

Within months, his recruits may be any-where in the world, from riding in combat vehicles in the desert to protecting military assets on installations. Before all that, they’re trained at Fort Leonard Wood, a training in-stallation in the Missouri Ozarks that Ros-tamo represented in this year’s drill sergeant of the year competition.

The post is home to more than 700 other drill sergeants, many were his peers cheering him on.

Last week, during a virtual event hosted by the U.S. Army Center for Initial Military !��������� ��� ������ ������� ��� ���������named the Army’s 2020 DSOY, besting 10 ����������(&�����������

����� ���� ��� ������� .��� ��� ����*��game,” Rostamo said. “They had studs from all across the drill sergeant enterprise, all slugging it out on a board. It was nerve-wracking, it really was.”

As Rostamo’s name was called, his poker

face may not have cracked, but he was physi-cally shaking from jittery nerves, he said. A sign that even the most stoic Soldier is also human. Just being in the running was hon-orable enough, he felt, but having his name called was another level of pride.

“I wanted to bring the (DSOY) title back to Fort Leonard Wood,” he said. “I didn’t win for me – ‘Erik Rostamo’ – I won this for all the drill sergeants there. I won’t be at Fort Leonard Wood forever, so it means the world to bring that honor back there.”

“The leadership and community are ex-tremely proud of Rostamo,” said Command Sgt. Maj. James Breckinridge, the senior en-listed leader at Fort Leonard Wood. “There is no doubt in my mind – and I’m not trying to predict the future – but there is no doubt in my mind that he is going to succeed to the highest levels of the United States Army.”

In roughly 60 days, Rostamo and his fam-ily will move from the Midwest so he can take on a new role – serving as a senior drill sergeant at Fort Eustis, Virginia, where he will advise the Army’s highest-ranking lead-ers on all matters related to initial training.

“When you get to sit at the table with a four-star general, and many more, and advise them on all things drill sergeant for the entire United States Army, that should not be taken lightly,” Breckinridge said. “That is a pretty big deal.”

Since winning, a whirlwind of well wish-es and support have rolled in from across the Army, he said. Text messages, phone calls,

emails, and other types of correspondence has his phone working overtime. If you ask those who know him best, the honor is well deserved.

But if you ask him, it was never about the awards, he said. “The opportunity to take civilians and graduate them as military pro-fessionals is the most iconic feeling in the world. They look up to you, and I just didn’t want to let them down.”

“Feedback is very important to us,” Malcom said. “The app includes a feedback portion where users can communicate and help us shape it going forward. This is not a ‘one and done.’ Users can count on the fact that we will continually optimize the app after launch.”

Leaders will also have the ability to write their own cus-tomized messages and announcements to distribute to the force �����������������������������+�����������������������at the end of August, Malcom said.

Residents of on-post housing can link to their installation’s privatized housing partner, he said. Personnel living in military housing will eventually have a similar capability.

Digital Garrison will become the Army enterprise mobile app for installations, Malcom added. Local app solutions will cease, ensuring all applicable garrisons comply with the Fed-eral Information Security Management Act and other cyberse-

curity protocols.The partnership that brought the Digital Garrison app to life

started in July 2019, Malcom said. At that time, the Exchange, IMCOM, and Army MWR were all developing apps to essen-tially do the same thing – provide information about on-post services or activities.

“The Exchange is honored to partner with the Army to en-�������20@(���(������������������������������������communities,” said Karen Cardin, AAFES senior vice president for customer experience.

The team released a Digital Garrison beta version in January, ��������������������������������������������������#������the limited user evaluation, a total of 10 installations through-out the U.S., including Hawaii and Alaska, and Germany were ������������������������������������������������

“During that process, we learned how garrisons should pre-pare their online data to optimize its presentation in the app,” he said. “We learned that the better a garrison maintains their websites that feed Digital Garrison, the better the garrison is represented in it. The pilot allowed us to work out all the details and provide clear instructions to all the installations feeding the app to prepare their data for transmission.”

The decision to create the app shows the Army’s eagerness to transition from the “industrial age to the information age,” Malcom said.

“The Exchange worked side-by-side with IMCOM to put real-time information in the hands of Soldiers, families and ci-vilians,” Cardin added. “Digital Garrison is another chapter in ������������������ ����'���������������� ����������������our mission to make life better for those who serve.”

“I can tell you that when I was on the trail at Fort Leonard Wood, I had outstand-ing Reservists. I appreciated that they were all squared away and ready to roll. So as long as you are ready to roll, and you’re ready to go, that mentality dimin-ishes rather quickly.”

The fact that the Senior DSL came from the Reserve component may have even been an extra sense of motivation for the Reserve drill sergeant candidates. Regard-less, Capocci knows it was a bonus for her at least.

“It was an honor to train them all, but

doubly so that I was able to touch the Re-serve population of drill sergeants. They have a unique role of being put into an in-tense school while also maintaining their civilian lives. I am glad I was there to re-late to those NCOs who attended as Re-servists,” she explained.

Capocci doesn’t claim one component to be better than another. They merely of-fer different aspects and both come with their own pros and cons. The bottom line is, the component from which a drill ser-geant may come from is irrelevant. It’s the amount of work, passion and commitment ��� ������������ ����� ����� �����into becoming the best drill sergeant is what matters, said Capocci.

“That being said, I highly recommend volunteering for a mission in (Basic Com-bat Training). The two years I did at Fort

Leonard Wood allowed me to see the full picture of basic training, and also how vi-tal the Reserve (Echo) Mission is to the Active Duty side. Without the Reserve drill sergeants supplementing the Active side, the mission would be much more dif-������/�

With her rotation as Senior DSL com-plete, Capocci is now moving onto her next mission – recruiting, which she’s ex-cited about.

“I am looking forward to recruiting and being on both sides of the Soldier experi-ence. I’ve come full circle as a drill ser-geant and it has been quite a journey!”

Though she won’t be ‘under the hat’ anymore, Capocci said she will always be drill sergeant and live the drill sergeant motto of ‘This We’ll Defend.’

“This We’ll Defend represents us all in

the Army, I think, because we are all work-ing towards a goal and that’s the defense of our freedom and our Country. For me, I’ve always taken that to heart. I am a very patriotic person, so ‘This We’ll Defend’ is me, having a part, as minor of a part it is, in defending our freedom in America, and I think that has always been at the crux of my service. I have always been one of those patriotic people who wanted to serve just to serve. I come from a family of mili-tary personnel so defending America’s freedom has always been super impor-tant to me. I know that sounds cheesy, but that’s what it stands for me and that’s what it stands for at the Academy. I know that we are very proud of the Soldiers that we produce here and of the Soldiers that they are going to produce. It’s the second, third and fourth order of effects here.”
