Leader Staff Reports

Fifty Civilian Aides to the Secretary of the Army rubbed elbows with Soldiers and leaders of Fort Jackson and the Midlands during the 2019 CASA Conference May 20-24.

These civilian aids, often referred to as CA-SAs, are business and community leaders ap-pointed to advise and work with local military leaders to bridge the gap between Army and civil-ian communities. CASAs also assist with Army recruiting efforts and advise the Secretary of the Army on public sentiments towards the Army.

“A lot of my focus is going to be opening the door for recruiting,” said Bud Martin, the CASA from North Carolina. “We talked about today in a lot of the meetings we had. In the end it’s all about recruiting, recruiting, recruiting.”

Martin added the visit to Fort Jackson helps them understand more of what goes on during

training so they can paint an accurate picture for those who are looking to join the service.

“We think we ought to be able to at least pres-ent that to the young people and let them decide,” he added.

“I think we gave every one of the civilian aides to the Secretary of the Army an opportunity that they can take home to their communities and talk to young recruits about what it’s like in Ba-sic Combat Training,” said Kevin Shwedo, the CASA for South Carolina. Shwedo also leads the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles.

“We’ve got to be able to look America’s par-ents in the eye and say all the training is realistic,” Shwedo said. “We are going to prepare (Soldiers). We are never going to send them into harm’s way without the world’s best training.”

Staff Sgt. David Hunsperger, an instructor at Victory Tower, speaks to a group of trainees during a visit by Civilian Aides to the Secretary of the Army during the CASAs visit May 20. The aides were on Fort Jackson as part of a conference where they learned about how Basic Combat Training is conducted and how they can positively affect recruiting.

FORT JACKSON WORSHIP SCHEDULE

By DR. TREVA ANDERSONCertified Mental Performance Consultant

Last week, I discussed internal motivation and sticking with a plan to change behavior. Once we have our motivation focused on in-ternal sources, we need to address our health-related behavior.

For me, once I was focused on my values and my identity as an active mom, I shifted my focus to making changes to my daily habits.

Daily habits tend to have a huge impact on our health and frequently these small things add up. I stopped adding creamer and sugar to my coffee. I started bringing salads for lunch. I committed to run three days a week. I found I was more likely to follow through on my quest to stay healthy if I started my

day with a run, so I restructured my morn-ings to allow for that time.

Research suggests our ability to practice self-regulation wanes by the end of the day. So if you want to create a new behavior, con-sider the morning when you are more likely to stick to the habit. I also realized I feel tre-mendous after a 15-minute run compared to not exercising because “I don’t have enough time.” I had to stop using time as an excuse and admit that if it’s a priority to me, I’ll make the time.

Consider your daily/weekly habits. What changes can you make to progress towards a healthier you?

[�� ~�� *�� 8� �~�� 8� �� 8� �� -cally running – to a growth mindset. I be-lieved I wasn’t a runner. I played soccer in high school, but did not see myself as be-

ing capable of running for the sake of run- ��&�� 8��~�� *��holding me back, diminishing my focus on changing my behavior and leading to blame and excuses (such as lack of time, too hot, bad knees, etc.). So I focused on the process rather than focus on the distance – I focused on how I felt while I ran. I felt strong and at peace while running, and I realized I looked forward to my 20 minutes of running in the morning.

Fort Jackson offered monthly free 5k walk/run races and I jumped at the chance to have my kids join me. They were reluctant to ��8��/��8�� and it was a struggle at times to coach them to continue to run when they got tired, but quickly that became a thing we did together. I recently dealt with a minor injury and they kept asking me when we could run another

5K because they missed running races with me. This continues to reinforce my ‘active mom’ source of motivation.

The last piece for me was to allow my-self to be a priority. I had the habit of mak-ing everything else a higher priority, such as the mission, my kids and husband, and my �� 8��

I had to admit to myself that was a choice I made and I was the only one who had the ability to change it. I had to start thinking of eating healthy and exercising as an invest-ment in myself. It was worth it for me to ask my husband to help with the kids while I went for a run. It was worth it to ask my boss ��~ ��* �� !�&�� $#�� late because I really wanted to run 2-3 miles before work.

The goal is to improve their physical performance both at the gym and in real life.

At least 60 people participate in the installation’s daily CrossFit workouts. Many do so remotely.

While Fort Jackson’s group of Cross-Fit enthusiasts have met at Vanguard Gym for years, they have been temporar-ily uprooted with ongoing renovations at the facility.

“TCB is homeless right now,” Martin said.

Even when they can’t train face-to-face, Richard “Rick” Ellis, a Level Two �� *�� Q�� Fort Jackson CrossFitters in the loop. He posts workouts to the app SugarWOD, �� Q� �� [�X� ��every day.

“We have a saying … routine is the en-emy,” Ellis said, so “(CrossFit) workouts change all the time.”

People of all ages take part, from kids to grandparents.

�[��8��to be at (to join) … we work you up slow-ly,” Ellis said. “Safety is our number one concern.”

“I turned 40 in February,” Martin said. “TCB has helped me manage that big birthday. I’m in better shape now than I was in my 20s.”

A year after retiring from the Army, he weighed more than he ever had before.

He heard about CrossFit and decided

to give it a shot. He was hooked.“There was no turning back,” Ellis

said.CrossFit workouts include cardio and

weightlifting exercises “geared toward things we do all the time,” like picking �� !!� �� !� �� Ellis said.

“I always refer to … what CrossFit �� !�� !�� ^��high intensity,” he explained.

On Memorial Day, TCB Cross-Fit members came together to host the MURPH, a special CrossFit challenge commemorating Lt. Michael Murphy, a Navy SEAL killed in combat. The event included two one-mile runs, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups and 300 air squats, wearing body armor weighing up to 20 pounds.

“It’s the community part” that keeps people going during these workouts, El-lis said. “We have fun together.”

“(CrossFit) for me is about the people. It’s the feeling that keeps me coming back — the feeling of being accepted and pushed and encouraged,” Martin said. “There’s zero judgment.”

While formal CrossFit classes are temporarily suspended, once Vanguard Gym is back in working order, classes will resume, free to anyone with a DOD authorized ID, according to the following schedule, subject to change:

� 6-7 a.m. and noon to 1 p.m. Mon-day-Friday.

� 6-7 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Fri-day.

� 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. the last Saturday of every month.

In the meantime, anyone interested in an extra challenge can contact Ellis on Facebook or at [email protected] to set up a time and place to complete � �� *��Q�� *�� !� �� Q��correctly during a set amount of time under the supervision of a coach win a T-Shirt that says “I earned my STRIPES” — standing for Strength, Toughness, Re-silience, Intensity, Power, Endurance and Scars.

Several years after starting that journey, I’m still on it. I still have moments of struggle. Mi-nor injuries, work and family demands provide a regular stream of opportunities to readjust. At this point, I can say that the struggle has all been worth it. I have noticed when I invest the

time and energy to take care of myself properly, I am happier, more energetic, and more produc-tive at work. There are still small habits I want to change or reinforce. Through this I have learned to focus my mindset and motivation and my be-havior will follow.

To become Soldiers, trainees currently must qualify with an assigned weapon, hitting at least 23 of 40 presented targets from three positions. Lead-ership tells them when to change their magazines and provides other logistical details.

“It’s not very realistic. It’s very canned … we’re basically telling the trainees what to do,” Ruopp said.

That will no longer be the case after the changes take effect. Soldiers-to-be will have to navigate the challenges on their own.

It’s all about “being more hands off,” Ruopp said.

To add to the challenge, as many as four tar-gets, rather than the current maximum of two, will appear simultaneously, for a limited time only, with the addition of a barrier, and there will be four positions to shoot from compared to the cur-rent three.

ToolsContinued from Page 3

Fort Jackson was a unique place for the aides to visit because it runs the en-tire gamut of active duty, Reserve and National Guard, while also having close ties to recruitment and military entry.

Brig. Gen. Milford H. “Beags” Bea-gle Jr., post commander, told the CASAs there are two particularly unique aspects of Fort Jackson – the processing station and the recruiting battalion. “We have a very close connection with our recruit-ing and our (Military Entry Processing) Station” on the installation, he said.

The CASAs also heard how the Army is connecting with local commu-nities.

“Communities embrace us wherever we are,” Beagle said during the confer-ence. The focus is “to remain relevant for tomorrow … we have to be ready for everything;” threats are always chang-ing. Fort Jackson trains more than half the Soldiers entering the Army with tough, realistic training because “it’s going to be expected” that Soldiers are prepared for combat.

For the South Carolina National Guard, reaching the community is para-mount.

“Being part of something is impor-tant to people, that’s why it’s important for us to connect to our local communi-ties, and we do that by being in 41 of the 46 counties in South Carolina,” said Maj. Gen. Van McCarty, the Adjutant General of South Carolina to the group May 20. “We want to continue to be a community based organization.”

Maj. Gen. Kenneth Jones, 81st Readiness Division commander, said he found the conference to be a “great venue” to share information about how the Army Reserves “is changing to meet the evolving threat environment,” and highlighted “some of the unique chal-lenges warrior-citizens have with sus-taining readiness.”

+��* �� !��Y��and Reserve, the conference also in-cluded visits to the U.S. Army Drill Sergeant Academy, a Soldier induction ceremony, and BCT graduation.

(Editor’s note: Elyssa Vondra, Les-lie Ann Sully, 81st Readiness Division, and the South Carolina National Guard contributed to this report.)
