The Fort Jackson Leader Page 3 NEWS Post teens learn leadership skills By JENNIFER STRIDE Fort Jackson Leader More than 100 teens between the ages of 10 and 19 attended the second annual leadership development summit at the Solomon Center Friday. Vendors, local professionals and a motivational speaker were on hand to provide the teens with resources and education geared toward leadership. In September, Shaneen Corujo with the Army Community Service Family Advocacy Program conducted a needs assessment in conjunction with Child, Youth and School 6HUYLFHVWR¿QGRXWZKDWWHHQVZDQWHGDQGQHHGHGWROHDUQ about. The resulting focus groups conducted surveys and came up with a comprehensive program for the summit WKDW FDWHUHG WR WKH VSHFL¿F QHHGV LGHQWL¿HG E\ WKH WHHQV Corujo led the summit. “The summit is designed to highlight leadership in the teen community,” Corujo said. “Our goal is to help the teens be able to step out and take that leadership to the next level in their own communities.” Barbara Martin, ACS Employment Readiness Program manager, provided information to teens on various careers and how to write resumes, discussed avenues used to search for jobs, and told them about current job opportunities available through the teen employment program. Brandon Jackson, Destiny Kinsler, Taylor and Ravyn Cunningham from the Fort Jackson Keystone Club piggy-backed off Martin’s class and held mock job interviews. “We want to help teens prepare to enter the workforce,” Corujo said. “The vendors give them a lot of resources and options.” Tim Bowers, a motivational speaker for teens, spoke to the whole group during lunch in an effort to inspire and encourage them to be more proactive in life. “We want to be able to see kids from the military, rural communities, kids from everywhere be more active and take on those leadership roles,” Corujo said. Shirley Anne Flowers Martin, with the Chaplain Family Life Center, talked about goal setting with the teens. She had the teens prepare vision boards, identifying where WKH\VDZWKHPVHOYHVLQ¿YH\HDUVDQGKRZWKH\SODQQHGWR achieve those goals. “I try to be a liaison between our generation and theirs,” Corujo said. “How do you get that energy and that wisdom combined if we don’t communicate?” Natasha Pauling, an attorney with the Richland County Photo by JENNIFER STRIDE A participant checks out items on display during Fort Jackson’s Teen Summit Friday at the Solomon Center. More than 100 teenagers learned about leadership skills throughout the day. Labor Department, spoke with teens about their rights and how to safely exercise those rights.

Social workers with the Family Advocacy Program held sessions focused on teen dating and violence. “We want to spend more on the prevention side and less on the intervention side,” Corujo said. Melody Dees from the United Way Diamonds Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program spoke with teens about parenthood, babies and teen pregnancy and Sandra Barnes from the Army Substance Abuse Program discussed the VLJQL¿FDQWUDPL¿FDWLRQVRIVXEVWDQFHDEXVHDQGDYDLODEOH resources for getting help. Rodney Burgess and Sidney Crawford from South Carolina Youth Challenges provided information to teens on KHDOWK DQG ¿WQHVV DQG &KHU\O /H\VDWK )HOHFLD -RKQVRQ and Brandy Palmer from the Exceptional Family Members Program advised the teens on what resources are available to support teens with special needs. Kevin Lawrence and Terrence Crawford, from the Richland County Sheriff’s Department, and Frederick Johnson, with Fort Jackson’s Directorate of Emergency Services, held open dialogue with the teens in an effort to help bolster relationships between teens and law enforcement. They also informed the teens about volunteer opportunities in the law enforcement community. Corujo said the reason the summit was focused on military teens is that their voice seems to be missing in the civilian population. “They have unique aspects about being military kids,” Corujo said. “We wanted to help them hone in on those skills and teach people who they are and help them get to the level where they will go out in the community and do great things.” Jennifer.L.Stride.civ@mail.mil FORT JACKSON GATE HOURS Gate 1: 5 a.m to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday 3:30 to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, outbound only Closed on weekends and federal holidays Gate 2: Open around the clock Gate 4: 5 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday Closed on weekends and federal holidays Gate 5: 5 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday 3:30 to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, outbound only 5 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday and Sunday Page 4 The Fort Jackson Leader- April 9, 2015 April 9, 2015 The Fort Jackson Leader Page 5 NEWS National Child Abuse Prevention Month Symposium addresses child abuse By WALLACE McBRIDE Fort Jackson Leader Social workers and law enforcement representatives from all over South Carolina gathered at Fort Jackson last week for a discussion about child abuse. “When I talk to Soldiers on Fort Jackson, they know about hitting a child, they know about sexual abuse,” said Greg Lewis, Family Advocacy Program specialist. “But there are some things they don’t know about, like neglect and emotional abuse.” The Family Advocacy Program seminar was designed to highlight less explicit forms of child abuse, he said. Leading the discussion was Sharon Cooper, a consultant and board member for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. “We now have new research that helps us understand that, when children have been victims, it profoundly affects their health long term,” Cooper said. “This is new research that many people don’t know about, and it helps us to recognize how important prevention is going to be.” 7KH GH¿QLWLRQ RI DEXVH KDV HYROYHG over the years to include forms of maltreatment that are not necessarily physiPhoto by WALLACE McBRIDE cal, she said.

Page 16 The Fort Jackson Leader- April 9, 2015 NEWS NCO selected as liaison of the month By CHRISTINA L. MYERS Columbia Recruiting Battalion Sgt. 1st Class Tyrell Osborne, an Army guidance counselor for the Columbia Recruiting Battalion, was recently named the Fort Jackson Military Entrance Processing Station, or MEPS, Army Liaison of the Month. “He is a rare breed of Soldier,” said Master Sgt. Sean Carrigan, who is Osborne’s direct supervisor. Carrigan explained that he challenges everyone who works with him to be perfect. “Sgt. 1st Class Osborne understood immediately that achieving perfection was not what I was really asking. The real challenge is to want to be perfect and he wants to be perfect,” Carrigan said. Osborne’s military journey started with the Alabama National Guard. Given his family’s military history, he knew he was destined to serve. “I had always known I was going to do something with the military because I’m third generation,” Osborne said. “My grandpa was in the Navy, my dad was in the Army during Vietnam, and I have all kinds of aunts and uncles who have served.” Osborne learned of the honor via email from the MEPS commander. He did not know he was in the running before being selected, but was humbled to know others recognized how serious he takes his job. ³,W¶VIXO¿OOLQJWRDFWXDOO\JHWUHFRJQLWLRQ´ Osborne said. “I remember what it’s like to EHDUHFUXLWHURQWKHJURXQGWU\LQJWR¿QG TXDOL¿HG \RXQJ PHQ DQG ZRPHQ IRU WKH Army.

Share April 9, 2015 The Fort Jackson Leader Page 17 NEWS Army to revise tattoo policy By C. TODD LOPEZ Army News Service HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — The Army will update its policy on tattoos during the coming weeks, making it more accommodating to current social norms, the Army’s chief of staff said. During a press conference during the Association of the United States Army Global Force Symposium and Exposition here, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno said the service regularly reviews and makes updates to Army Regulation 670-1. “As part of the regular process that we go through in reviewing regulations, covering the wear and appearance of the Army uniform, and the appearance of our Soldiers, we will be releasing in the coming weeks, an update to that policy, and the most notable change is going to be the change in the tattoo policy in the Army,” Odierno said. Soldiers will no longer be limited to a particular size or number of tattoos permitted on the arms or legs, Odierno said, provided those tattoos are not extremist, indecent, sexist or racist. The policy will, however, continue to prohibit tattoos above the T-shirt neckline, on the head, face, wrists and hands. There will be an exception allowing one ring tattoo on each hand. Odierno said that changes to the policy came after listening to feedback from Soldiers, and after discussion with senior enlisted leaders. “We have listened to the Soldiers,” Odierno said. “I’ve talked to our sergeants major and our non-commissioned of¿FHUVDQGVRPHRIRXURI¿FHUVDQGIUDQNO\VRFLHW\LVFKDQJing its view of tattoos, and I think we need to change along with it.” During an interview last week, Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel Dailey discussed the upcoming change to the Army tattoo policy. He said that the message from the Soldiers he talks to is clear: Soldiers have tattoos, tattoos are acceptable now, and the tattoo policy might affect a decision to re-enlist. “You can’t go anywhere without hearing about the Army’s tattoo policy,” Dailey said. “It came up when I was at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy too. So it’s not just Soldiers, but leaders as well.” The sergeant major said American culture has changed, and that tattoos are more accepted now than they have ever EHHQEHIRUH7KH$UP\LVDUHÀHFWLRQRI$PHULFDQVRFLHW\ Photo by DAVID VERGUN, Army News Service A Soldier displays his grandfathered tattoos under the current Army Regulation 670-1. The number and size of tattoos on the arms and legs will be less restrictive under an updated policy. and American society, he said, accepts tattoos. “I think this is a realization that we are in a different generation,” he said. “Tattoos are more prevalent in young Americans than I think they have ever been throughout American history.” When it was implemented, the current Army tattoo policy did not force out Soldiers who had tattoos below the elbow or knee or above the neck line. However, the policy did require Soldiers to have those tattoos documented. It also limited additional tattoos in those places. “These Soldiers understand that, they know they are grandfathered in,” Dailey said. “But they have fears. We have documented every one of those tattoos, and they expect that could one day be used against them with regards to promotions or things like that.” Dailey said he has asked Soldiers about how the current tattoo policy might affect their decision to separate from military service. He said “overwhelmingly,” Soldiers have said the policy would play a role in their deciding to stay in or to leave. Dailey said he did not want the tattoo policy to be the deciding factor for why a good Soldier might decide to leave the Army. He said he felt that the policy might in some way be at odds with the requirement to maintain an all-volunteer force. “So then we struggle with — do the standards of discipline we’ve established override the needs of what we need to maintain the all-volunteer force, and the quality all-volunteer force, even more so as we draw down?” he asked. “When we move this standard too far to the right, can we actually maintain the all-volunteer force in the future?” Dailey’s discussions with Soldiers and his concerns regarding the effects of the existing tattoo policy on the Army’s ability to maintain the all-volunteer force, were included in his own recommendations regarding the tattoo policy that he made to the Army chief of staff and the Army secretary.

Common STIs include human papillomavirus, or HPV, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, herpes simplex virus, or HSV, syphilis, Hepatitis B and human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV. About half of new STIs occur in people 15-24 years old. STIs are also common among the military active-duty population. More than a third of all Service members are younger than 25. Risk factors for infection and disease trends tend to mirror those observed nationally. Depending on the STI, symptoms can include painful urination, itching, discharge, painful or swollen testicles, bleeding between menstrual cycles, painful intercourse, abdominal or pelvic pain or rashes. More often, an STI may not have noticeable symptoms. Chlamydia, for example, is known as the “silent infection,” and fails to show symptoms in about 80 percent of infected women and 50 percent of infected men. Likewise, syphilis is another STI that often goes unnoticed in early stages. It is on the rise in both civilian and military communities, especially among men who have sex with men. Having an STI can make it easier to get another. Periodic STI testing is often the best way to identify infections. Common high-risk behaviors include having unprotected sex, inconsistent condom use, multiple partners, one night stands, soliciting sex and being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Technology such as “hook-up” apps has also increased STI risks by linking anonymous partners for casual sex. Online profiles can be deceptive, setting you up for a dangerous situation which leaves lingering uncertainty about STIs. The anonymous encounters make it challenging to notify a partner of a positive STI test. All STIs are preventable, many are curable and all can be treated to manage symptoms. Prevention starts by communicating with intimate partners and taking charge of one’s sexual health. Effective ways to reduce your risk include: Using a condom correctly every time when engaging in oral, vaginal or anal sexual activity; Reducing the number of sexual partners and the number of high-risk partners, situations and sex acts; Being in a mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner; Talking to a medical provider about getting tested (every three to six months); Getting the HPV and Hepatitis B vaccines. If you are concerned about your STI risk, you can request testing through your primary care clinic. Military treatment facilities offer free, confidential testing, treatment and counseling for TRICARE beneficiaries. Local public health departments also offer low-cost testing and treatment. For additional information regarding STIs or HPV and Hepatitis B vaccination, contact your primary care provider or preventive medicine department. Remember, prevention starts with you.
