[FroM the editor]

It’s springtime, the loveliest time of year in Washington D.C., when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and the weather tries to be at its best. Spring is also the time of month when we in MCCS Henderson Hall are busiest.

We have a full issue, reflecting these and many other events in April and May, especially, that MCCS Henderson Hall holds, starting with the “Pinwheels for Prevention” initiative on page 5.

Bart MacMillan, a regular contributor, addresses the sometimes humorous misconceptions about the GI Bill. Read his article beginning on page 6.

Ciara Lawton of the Behavioral Health Branch explains myths about Domestic Violence on page 8, and Diane Waters, also of the Behavioral Health Branch, gives an overview of the New Parent Support Program. Lastly, Debbie Baker shares her enthusiasm for the upcoming resource fair. Speaking of fairs, the annual Children’s Fair is April 13, and the Spring Education and Career Fair is April 18 (check them out on pages 13 and 14, respectively.)

We are excited about a new way to connect with you: our new mobile website. We designed web content specifically to be viewed on-the-go. See our mobile version at www.M.mccsHH.com, and please let us know what you think.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month

The Pinwheels for Prevention campaign was developed in 2008 by Prevent Child Abuse America. This yearly campaign features a blue pinwheel as the symbol for child abuse and neglect prevention nationwide. The pinwheel is a symbol of hope, health, and happiness

and was chosen as a way to encourage community participation in the prevention of child abuse.

For the third consecutive year, the Family Advocacy Program of Marine & Family Programs at MCCS Henderson Hall is excited to have the Marine Corps community involved with planting a pinwheel garden on the Henderson Hall portion of the joint base. The garden provides Marines and civilian Marines an opportunity to personally plant a pinwheel to take a stand against abuse.

It is truly everyone’s duty to protect children in the community from abuse and neglect. We can only achieve this by drawing attention to this important issue and recognizing abuse as unacceptable in our military and civilian community. By planting a pinwheel you are participating in the fight to end child abuse and neglect. With each pinwheel planted, our children are thought of and recognized as an important part of our future. We are reminded that it is our responsibility to protect those who are too young to protect themselves. I encourage you to get involved, to understand the meaning behind the blue pinwheels you see on base, and be proud to be part of a community that fights to end abuse against children.

Quick Facts on Child Abuse in the U.S. from Childhelp*• A report of child abuse is made every ten seconds• Almost five children die every day as a result of child abuse• Child abuse occurs at every socioeconomic level, across ethnic and cultural lines,

within all religions and at all levels of education• About 30% of abused and neglected children will later abuse their own children, continuing the

horrible cycle of abuse.*

Marines and civilian Marines are mandated to report suspected child abuse and neglect to the appropriate authorities. To report suspected child abuse or neglect please call the National child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-cHILD. If you are concerned about a Marine corps or military family, also call the Family Advocacy Program, Marine & Family Programs, MccS Henderson Hall, at 703-614-7204.

[Marine & FaMilY prograMS]

the Marine chose the Post 9/11 option, then the $1,200 paid into the MGIB would be refunded. The $1,200 is added to the 36th MHA check, which means that it is sent actually to the person who is using the benefit; in other words, if the child dependent is receiving the MHA payment, the $1200 would be sent to the child. The Marine officer asked our office how he could get the money back from his son!

(Marine & Family Programs will goabove and beyond to assist our Marines, veterans and their families; but, we will resist the urge to play referee over internal family money matters!)

When I told this officer that it was between him and his son, he sighed, saying

payouts most of the time (but do not automatically assume this!).

The student veteran using Post 9/11 benefits should plan on contact with both the school’s VA official AND financial aid office every semester of enrollment. The VA official certifies enrollment for the VA regional office, which then cuts the checks. One of those checks will be sent to the school’s financial aid office to be applied to the veteran’s student tuition account.

The other checks — the Chapter 30 monthly stipend, and the Chapter 33 book and Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) stipends — are usually directly deposited into the veteran’s bank account. I’ve encountered servicemembers who did not realize this, and were subsequently late with payments due, unaware that the payments were supposed to come from

them, not the VA; surprisingly, they were also unaware of the increases to their accounts due to the VA deposits! The only payment the VA makes directly to a school is the Post 9/11 tuition payment (and, if applicable, the Yellow Ribbon payment).

Some younger separating servicemembers I’ve encountered will not realize, until it is too late, that monthly stipend payments are prorated if school is not in session for the entire month. A specific example is found in the traditional semester schedule of a late August start date and a mid-December end date. The

A young Lance Corporal Marine sat in my office recently and announced, “I heard you could

buy a house with your GI Bill.”Curious as this misunderstanding may

be, it points to the fact that when the Post 9/11 GI Bill option became available in 2009, servicemembers and veterans had much more information to consider in making the best use of their GI Bill benefits.

This article addresses some of the misunderstandings often encountered regarding the two GI Bill options available to fulltime active duty servicemembers: the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB, known as Chapter 30) and the Post 9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33).

The GI Bill website — www.gibill.va.gov — is loaded with much valuable information. Chapter 30 is earned with

a combination of service and a payroll deduction totaling $1200, while Chapter 33 is earned solely by service. How these are paid out when the veteran uses the benefit is explained in MUCH detail on the website. (The details can be a bit confusing and overwhelming!)

The Veterans Administration’s recommendation, if both options are available, is that the veteran should select the school, first, then contact that school’s VA official to see how each option works in that school’s context. This is highly sound advice! The Post 9/11 benefit will have, admittedly, the most generous

by Bart MacMillan

full payment will be made for the months of September, October and November, while partial payments are made for August and December. I have seen a few veterans living off campus who struggled to make ends meet in those months when the MHA payment was less than 50% of the full monthly amount.

The Chapter 33 MHA payment will be about $675 (approximately 50% of the national average BAH rate for E-5+Dependents) if the entire semester’s course load is taken through online courses. Initially, Post 9/11 benefits did NOT include a MHA payment if the entire course load was taken online, but Congress voted in an adjustment to this policy effective October 2010.

All GI Bill payout amounts make the assumption that the veteran is attending school at the minimum full time student rate. What constitutes a minimum full time course load may vary greatly from school to school, but the VA may adjust the monthly stipend check appropriately downward under either option if a veteran starts the term with a minimum full time course load, then drops one of those courses at any point in the school’s Drop/Add period. This also, has been a surprise to some unsuspecting student veterans.

The option of transferring GI Bill benefits to family dependents became a reality with the Post 9/11 program. This meant that the monthly stipend payments would be routed directly to the spouse’s or child dependent’s account. This led to a humorous misunderstanding on the part of one Marine officer, who noted correctly, that if both GI Bill options were available to the Marine and

“I heard you could buy a house with your GI Bill.”

“I suppose you’re right!” The uniform may change, but the parental issues usually do not!

One other misconception comes with the Yellow Ribbon benefit on the Post 9/11 option. “Yellow Ribbon” is an agreement between the VA and the school, which can select which degrees and the amount it wishes to participate. Generally, baccalaureate degrees are combined together.

Graduate degrees are a different matter. Also, the schools need to renew this agreement on a yearly basis. Your degree may be there NOW, but do not assume it will be there for the next academic year, or that “Yellow Ribbon” will cover all remaining tuition.

GI BILL OPTIONS: A FEW POPULAR MISCOThe information to sort through for

servicemembers wanting to use GI Bill benefits remains daunting. The Post 9/11 option enables much individuality in using it to each servicemember’s needs, yet it is easy to overlook a crucial detail or consequence under unique circumstances. The VA’s advice remains sound: contact the school VA official (or your education office) before activating your GI Bill benefits!

There are often many myths surrounding domestic violence and its effects on both the offender and the victim. For example, many feel that domestic violence

is something that only affects certain races or genders, but, in actuality, domestic violence does not discriminate across lines of race, culture, nationality or gender (Mills, L. G, 2000). Below you will find a set of myths and facts based on the book It Shouldn’t Hurt to Go Home, that may help someone have a better understanding of domestic violence.

MYth #1 “doMeStiC violenCe doeS not aFFeCt ManY people.”

According to It Shouldn’t Hurt to Go Home, domestic violence is the most common — but least reported — crime in the United States, often because victims may feel too embarrassed or ashamed to get help.

MYth #2 “doMeStiC violenCe iS onlY phYSiCal aBUSe.”

Physical violence is only one dynamic of domestic violence. Other forms of domestic violence include emotional, sexual, economic, and psychological abuse. At times, the offender may use control, manipulation, and even power to intimidate their spouse or intimate partner.

MYth #3 “DomEStic AbUSE iS JUSt A momENtARy LoSS of tEmPER.”

Domestic abuse is actually the opposite of momentary loss of temper. Offenders often make a conscious decision to abuse and control their partner through fear; this is often a part of the domestic violence cycle of abuse.

MYth #4 “the viCtiM Can alWaYS WalK aWaY FroM the relationShip.”

Victims often believe that they don’t have any place to go where they will be safe. The offender usually knows where the victims’ families and friends live and will often threaten to “find” them if they left. This often makes it even harder for the victim to leave. In order for a victim to leave successfully they will have to have a secure plan, money, and a strong support network.

MYth #5 “drinKing and drUg aBUSe CaUSe doMeStiC violenCe.”

Drinking and using drugs as a means for violent behavior is often an excuse that the offender uses. At times there can be a correlation with substance abuse and domestic violence, but one does not cause the other. Substance abuse can lower a person’s

inhibitions and increase the severity of the domestic related problem.

EFMP Resource Fair by Debbie Baker


Don’t miss the 3rd Annual Joint Services Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP)

Resource Fair on Saturday, April 6, from 10 AM to 2 PM, at the Joint Base Andrews Youth Center, 4700 Yuma Road, Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, 20762. This event, a collaborative endeavor by the Joint Services EFMP of the National Capital Region, which includes the MCCS Henderson Hall EFMP, will provide military and Department of Defense (DoD) families with exceptional family members an opportunity to learn all about community and military resources and services that may enhance their lives and those of their family members.

Exhibitors from the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia will have displays throughout the day. In

support of this year’s theme, “Family and Caregiver Wellness,” chair massages will be available. A light lunch will be provided, and attendees can attend break-out sessions held afterward. The session entitled “Safety Issues for People with Exceptional Needs” will be given by Army LTC Scott Campbell, president of the board of directors of the Autism Society of Northern Virginia and a member of the Virginia Autism Public Safety Workshop. Other breakout sessions include “How to Handle Compassion Fatigue for Caregivers” and “TRICARE-ECHO Supports & Resources.” Thedeadline for registration was March 19, 2013. Last year’s EFMP Resource Fair, held at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, featured over 40 exhibitors and included a presentation by Isabel Hodge of the Office of Community Support for Military

Families with Special Needs. This was followedbyadiscussionandQ&Awitha panel that included Ms. Hodge along with parents, service members, medical providers, and advocates. We hope that this year’s event will be an even greater success, with more participants, exhibitors, and informative sessions.

The Resource Fair is open to all DoD identification card holders and their guests. For more information. please see the event website at andrewsfss.com/mfsc/efmp.html.
