New Hours of Operation and More at the JEBLC Lake Bradford
New Hours of Operation and More at the JEBLC Lake Bradford Rental Center E! NG E L L A E CH H T E june 19 TAK Don’t miss this popular summer run at JEBLC’s Rockwell Hall Gym. Everyone who completes the run will receive an award. Details are on page 6! The JEB Little Creek Outdoor Rental Center has added new weekend hours and they are now open daily (except on holidays)! This will make renting equipment more available to fit within your schedule and will continue through the spring and summer seasons. If you are unfamiliar with the location of the Lake Bradford Rental Center, it can be found with ease! Just enter the base through Gate 5 on Independence Boulevard, continue past the library and Navy College building (on D Street) and you’ll find it in building 3022, on the left. Our convenient location and quick service will allow you to have lots of time to pick up the equipment and still get the job done. Spring is here and we have all the right tools to make caring for your lawn easy. From aerators to help your lawn “breathe”, tillers to break up the soil and lawn mowers and clippers for that perfect manicure, there is a large inventory of equipment available for you to achieve a beautiful lawn that your neighbors will envy. We can also provide assistance in getting to know the equipment before you get it home. All of our tools are thoroughly checked and maintained before and after being rented for your safety. This article continues on page 2. Click here for current information on MWR employment opportunities. See pages 4 & 5! LAKE BRADFORD RENTAL CENTER For big outdoor parties, we have party tents, tables, chairs and more for gatherings for up to 500 guests. Coolers and ice are also available for your drinks or to keep your food cold until you start cooking and we carry a number of large charcoal cookers and chafing dishes. And don’t forget that we have dunk tanks for your guests to really cool off in! This year we will be adding some more equipment including cornhole and childrens’ bounce houses for command functions. JEBLCFS BASE COMMANDER Captain Frank E. Hughlett For early-season fishing enthusiasts, remember you can reserve a boat for the whole weekend by making sure to call by the prior Wednesday.

All campers have onboard air conditioning and heat to make sure you and your family have a comfortable trip. Plus, if you forgot your hitch at home, we have them available to rent too. We are conveniently located across the street from the beautiful Lake Bradford and Seal Park where there are many opportunities for recreation, plenty of parking for visitors and bathrooms available in season. If you haven’t visited Lake Bradford in the spring or summer, you are missing out! You’ll find a well-kept and family-friendly, tree-shaded park with lots of playground equipment for the kids, picnic facilities and beautiful views of the lake. There is also a ramp designated for launching watercraft located at the far end of the park Stop by today and pick up a brochure with a complete listing of available equipment and rental rates. Feel free to give our friendly and helpful staff a call at 462-7516. Have a fun spring & summer! MWR FUNDING INFORMATION We would like to address some important information with our readers about the different categories of MWR funding and how they can affect the ways that JEBLCFS MWR programs, facilities and services can be offered. Additionally, we are including JEB Little Creek-Fort Story FY-14 Ops Plan details for each category so that our patrons can understand the reasons some decisions have been made such as why hours of core programs have been reduced, etc. To begin, there are three funding sources for MWR programs. Funds appropriated by Congress and provided by the Navy to run all mission essential MWR functions are called appropriated funds (APF). Funds generated by MWR activities (food & beverage, golf, bowling, etc.) are nonappropriated funds (NAF). There are also non-appropriated funds that are paid to MWR by the Navy Exchange System, from a portion of their profits, that are called Navy Exchange Non-Appropriated Dividends. Knowing the differences between the funding streams for MWR programs can answer some frequently asked questions. Patrons may not have knowledge of MWR funding or understand why, for example, the fitness, library and Liberty programs must reduce their hours due to funding, but (at the same time) the bowling center can be renovated, or a brand-new cart barn can be built at the golf course. The UFM funding supplied for some MWR programs comes directly from the U.S. Government. NAF revenue is generated by base MWR programs and facilities, and JEBLCFS is able to recapitalize with it more freely. There is some confusion about what MWR really has control of in its programs and at its facilities. For example, a frequent complaint about the fitness program is the operation of the air conditioning system at the Rockwell Hall Gym. Unfortunately, MWR is not responsible for running or servicing the building’s air conditioning system and cannot adjust it when temperature issues arise. MWR is just a tenant in the facility. The same can be said for issues with broken saunas inside the building. That equipment is under NAVFAC control and maintenance. Some comments from JEBLCFS MWR patrons indicate that it seems like MWR is in the “profit” business. For some MWR programs, that is very true. The bowling center, the golf course, the marina, the outdoor rental center and more must make money to keep their doors open and maintain their staffing, facilities and equipment. They operate for profit just like all of the businesses outside the base gates. However, the gyms, libraries, Liberty centers and some other programs are funded by the government...hence the services are free to all eligible patrons.

Retired Navy Aviation Support Equipment Technician 2nd Class (AW/SW) Marlon Bevans Commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic and Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor are proud to host the 2014 Wounded Warrior Team Navy Trials June 4-7 at Naval Station Norfolk. Nearly 80 seriously wounded, ill and injured Sailors and Coast Guardsmen from across the country will compete for a place on Team Navy 2014. Spectators are encouraged to attend the event to support the wounded warriors and enjoy an inspirational display of perseverance and sportsmanship. During the competition, wounded warriors will go head-to-head in archery; cycling; track and field; shooting; seated volleyball; swimming; and wheelchair basketball. For many wounded warriors, taking part in the event represents a major milestone in their path to recovery. Retired Navy Aviation Support Equipment Technician 2nd Class (AW/SW) Marlon Bevans is among 10 local athletes competing at the trials. “Sports keep my mind off my injury and focused on a goal. I feel some pain, but the pain is a sign that I am alive,” he said. Bevans was injured in April 2010 in a motorcycle accident that left him in a coma. He sustained a traumatic brain injury and severe trauma to his upper extremities. “Before I went to my first sports camp, I thought I had it bad in life. But then I saw people who had lost more than I did, and that motivated me to feel thankful for what I have. And I just hope to use my experiences to motivate other people,” he said. 2014 - Norfolk, VA ! s e t a m p i h S r u o Y n o r e Che Bevans will compete alongside Active Duty and retired service members with upper-body, lower-body and spinal cord injuries; serious illnesses; traumatic brain injuries; visual impairment; and post-traumatic stress disorder. During the competition, medals will be awarded to the top three athletes in the events or heats within each sport. Ultimately, 40 athletes will be selected for Team Navy and advance to the 2014 Warrior Games, the fifth annual competition among wounded warriors from all branches of military service. “The excitement at a wheelchair basketball game can inspire these athletes to move past their injuries to embrace the fullness of life. It can give them the hope to remove barriers,” said Navy Cmdr. William Middleton, the director for CREDO Naval District Washington, who attended last year’s Warrior Games. e. er h t ily m fa r ou y d an ou y We hope to see Go Tea m Navy!
