The 2015 Navy Teen Sum-mer Camp Scholarship Program(SCSP) application deadlineis May 3, and although it is aNavy program, all qualified ap-plicants with a parent stationedat Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling(JBAB) are eligible, regardless ofmilitary service branch.

Launched in 2001, the SCSPprovides opportunities for Navyteens to attend one of six all-expenses paid summer camps.

Camps offered this summerinclude: Hike Hawaii, Passportto Europe, Sail Annapolis, ScubaDive Florida, OAC Euro Camp,and Explore Japan. All of theopportunities are supervisedby trained and experiencedNavy Child and Youth Programs(CYP) professionals.

“It’s a scholarship programfor teens to attend specialtycamps that are completelyoutside of the regular norm ofwhat our installation-basedcamps typically do,” said BrentEdwards, Commander, NavyInstallation Command (CNIC)youth programs coordinator.“Overall, the SCSP is intendedto provide our teens with an ex-traordinary program and expe-rience that they wouldn’t neces-sarily find on base.”

Program participants mustbe 13-17 years old, have a 3.0cumulative GPA, and be a de-

pendent of an active-duty Navyor active-duty Navy Reserve ser-vice member. Dependents of AirForce, Army, Coast Guard, andMarine Corps personnel are eli-gible if stationed at a Navy-op-erated joint base, such as JBAB.

“The program is open for 13to 17 year olds, but a lot of theopportunities are only availablefor the 15-17 year olds,” saidEdwards. “We have found thatthat age group is typically a littlemore mature and resilient.”

Every application will be re-viewed by a panel of CNIC judg-es and individually scored.

“We have some specific crite-ria that we’re looking for in ourteens,” said Edwards. “We’relooking at GPA, community ser-vice hours, and extracurricularactivities. We’re also looking attheir answers to the narratives.We have two specific questionsthat we ask our teens to answerand a good weight of the appli-cation score is based on theirresponse.”

Edwards said 150 scholar-ships are available this year. Theapplication is available at www.cnic-n9portal.com/elibrary.

“A lot of teens are busy withend of year finals, SATs, PSATs,employment, girlfriends andboyfriends - we know their plateis full,” said Edwards.

“However, if they’re willingto put forth the effort and com-plete a very simple application,they could potentially have thesummer of a lifetime. It’s nottoo good to be true,” he added.

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) willcelebrate military kids with a Month of theMilitary Child Celebration scheduled forApril 24.

The event takes place from 3-6 p.m., atBolling Green Park, pavilions seven andeight. Families are invited to enjoy free

games, face painting, and a petting zoo.In addition to the celebration, JBAB has

hosted various other activities throughoutApril to celebrate military children, such asa preteen lock-in at the Youth Center heldApril 11-12, which included nine hours offood, fun, crafts, games and staying up pastbed times. Military kids bowled for free April19 at Potomac Lanes, and all JBAB Child andYouth Program (CYP) facilities participatedin Purple Up! Day, April 15.

The Defense Department (DOD) ob-

serves April as the Month of the MilitaryChild.

Established by then-Defense SecretaryCaspar Weinberger in 1986, the month rec-ognizes some 1.9 million U.S. military chil-dren ranging in age from infants to 18 yearsold who have one or both parents servingin the armed forces, said Barbara Thomp-son, the director of DOD’s Office of FamilyReadiness Policy.

“We want to highlight their sacrifices[and] support of the military member in

their families, so it behooves us to take timefrom the busy calendar of our events andrecognize military children,” she said.

Permanent-change-of-station moves,deployments and training activities, amongother facets of military life, can presentunique challenges to children who mustconstantly adjust to distance, unfamiliar-ity and uncertain schedules, Thompson ex-plained.

“It is hard to be a military child,” shesaid. “And they’re doing it super well.”

U.S. AIR FORCE BAND

Fans of Washington-area mili-tary service bands will get a rareopportunity April 28. Members ofensembles from all five premierservice bands will present a livestreaming joint service chamberrecital hosted by the U.S. ArmyBand as part of the “Pershing’sOwn” Concert Series.

The project is the brainchild ofU.S. Army Staff Sgt. Troy Paolan-tonio, fife instrumentalist andassistant drum major of The U.S.Army Old Guard Drum and FifeCorps.

“I knew the great talent wehad in each of these ensembles; Ialways thought it would be a funproject to organize a concert tofeature some of these perform-ers on the same show,” he said.“We share so many similarities inour jobs, but don’t get the chanceto actually perform together. Ithought this concert would helppromote some camaraderie andcreativity among the servicebands.”

When it came to selecting mu-sicians, Paolantonio said, diversi-

ty was key. “The [group] is a littleheavy with Army folks, but it wasreally important to me that wehave each branch of service rep-

resented. We even have a memberof the Coast Guard Band drivingsouth from Connecticut.”

The concert will feature Air-men musicians Tech. Sgt. BrianWahrlich on clarinet, Tech. Sgt.Mandi Harper on voice, MasterSgt. Bryce Bunner on viola, andSenior Master Sgt. Vivian Pod-gainy and Tech. Sgt. ChristineLightner on cello. The concert,which will run approximatelyone hour, will highlight worksby Haydn, Martinu and GeorgeCrumb, as well as a traditionalfife and drum song set and a clos-ing number by Henry Mancini en-titled “Pie in the Face Polka.”

The Joint Service ChamberEnsemble concert begins at 7:30p.m. at Brucker Hall on JointBase Myer-Henderson Hall in Ar-lington, Virginia. Visitors shouldenter through the Hatfield Gate,located at Second Street Southand Washington Boulevard andwill need to present a valid driv-er’s license or Department of De-fense identification to enter. Forthose wishing to view the concertvia the internet, the event will belive-streamed and archived atwww.usarmyband.com.

Forty seriously wounded, illand injured athletes have beenselected to represent the Navyduring the 2015 Department ofDefense (DOD) Warrior GamesJune 19-28 in Quantico, Virginia.

Navy Wounded Warrior(NWW) - Safe Harbor is the Navyand Coast Guard’s wounded war-rior support program. Each of theTeam Navy athletes is enrolled inthe program, which has providedthem with non-medical care andconnected their families andcaregivers to resources and sup-port. NWW also links enrolleesto adaptive sports opportunities,including the annual DOD War-rior Games.

“This year’s Team Navy ros-ter includes wounded warriorathletes in various stages of re-covery, who face a wide rangeof life-altering medical condi-tions,” said NWW Director Capt.Brent Breining. “Although eachhas a different situation, they areunited by a common purpose:to honor their military family,as well as their own families andfriends, by competing to the verybest of their abilities.”

The athletes’ skills wereevaluated last month during the

Wounded Warrior Pacific Trials,which brought together nearly 70wounded warriors at Joint BasePearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii.The roster was assembled aftercareful consultation with TeamNavy’s experienced coachingstaff.

Team Navy brings togetheractive duty and retired Sailorsand Coast Guardsmen fromaround the country, both fromenlisted and officer communi-ties.

FROM THE NATIONALFIRE PROTECTION

ASSOCIATIONFire in the grill, under

hot dogs and burgers, is awelcome sight at the familycookout. But fire anywhereelse can make your summerkick-off barbecue memo-rable for all the wrong rea-sons.

- Propane and charcoalBBQ grills should only beused outdoors.

- The grill should beplaced well away from thehome, deck railings and outfrom under eaves and over-hanging branches.

- Keep children and petsaway from the grill area.

- Keep your grill cleanby removing grease or fatbuildup from the grills andin trays below the grill.

- Never leave your grillunattended.

Charcoal grills- There are several ways

to get the charcoal readyto use. Charcoal chimneystarters allow you to startthe charcoal using newspa-per as a fuel.

- If you use a starter flu-id, use only charcoal starterfluid. Never add charcoalfluid or any other flamma-ble liquids to the fire.

- Keep charcoal fluid outof the reach of children andaway from heat sources.

- There are also electriccharcoal starters, which donot use fire. Be sure to usean extension cord for out-door use.

- When you are finishedgrilling, let the coals com-pletely cool before dispos-ing in a metal container.

Propane grillsCheck the gas tank hose

for leaks before using it forthe first time each year.Apply a light soap and wa-ter solution to the hose. Apropane leak will releasebubbles. If your grill hasa gas leak, by smell or thesoapy bubble test, andthere is no flame, turn offthe gas tank and grill. Ifthe leak stops, get the grillserviced by a professionalbefore using it again. Ifthe leak does not stop, callthe fire department. If yousmell gas while cooking,immediately get away fromthe grill and call the firedepartment. Do not movethe grill.
