JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. -- What does exca-vating prehistoric artifacts have todo with military installations in theNational Capital Region?

Katherine Klepper, a natural re-source specialist based at theWashington Navy Yard, can answerthat.

It doesn't readily occur to mostpeople, but what is known today asJoint Base Anacostia-Bolling andBellevue Housing was once hometo ancient peoples as long ago as7500 B.C.-and there's evidence toprove it.

Items from two different peri-ods in history have been uncov-ered on JBAB and in BellevueHousing, illustrating how far backin time people have been settled inthe area.

"Arrowheads and most recently,pottery fragments have been founddating back to the Archaic Period,7500-1100 B.C., and the WoodlandPeriod, 1100 B.C. to about 1608A.D.," said Klepper, whose back-ground is in urban and environ-mental planning and historicpreservation.

Exactly what groups of peoplethese artifacts may have belongedto is unclear, said Julie Darsie, re-gional cultural resource, also at theWashington Navy Yard. She calledthe pottery fragments, "probablythe most significant find in the areato date," especially because, with

no lugs and a nearly-flat base, the16-inch-wide, 12-inch-deep potwas able to be almost entirely re-constructed with the pieces recov-ered from the site.

"It makes sense that peoplewould have settled here as far backas prehistoric times because of theproximity to the Potomac and Ana-costia Rivers," said Klepper. "Manyancient peoples settled near bodies

of water, usually using the landnearby to grow food and raise ani-mals."

According to the National ParkService website, D.C.'s maritimeheritage dates back as far as 14,000years when the first known groupof Native Americans settled thearea. These groups of people weresemi-nomadic hunter-gathererswho supplemented their diets by

fishing, while later peoples lived insmall permanent settlementsalong the Anacostia and PotomacRivers. About 1,000 years ago, peo-ple began establishing large per-manent villages near stream con-fluences, and a horticultural econ-omy.

The pottery shards were foundin an active construction site onJBAB about 300 feet from the Po-tomac River.

Artifacts that are unearthed goto the Maryland ArchaeologicalConservation Laboratory (MACLab), a state-of-the-art archaeolog-ical research, conservation, andcuration facility located at JeffersonPatterson Park & Museum, theState Museum of Archaeology, insouthern Maryland. The MAC Labis a clearinghouse for archaeologi-cal collections recovered fromland-based and underwater proj-ects conducted by State and Feder-al agencies throughout Maryland.Artifacts may be stored or used inexhibits or studies.

"This is one of my favoritethings about my job-when we findsomething unexpected and inter-esting," said Darsie. "When wemake a find like this, it's somethingthe whole field of archaeology getsexcited about."

Klepper agreed."In this way, the military is in a

unique position to preserve prehis-toric artifacts like this for futuregenerations."

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. - Military life is fullof demands, at home and at work.To help meet the challenges of bal-ancing a military career and a fami-ly, service members who are legallyand primarily responsible for thecare of another person are requiredto draw up family care plans (FCPs).

"Family care plans take theguesswork out of figuring out who isgoing to look after a service mem-ber's minor children or dependentadult family members when mili-tary responsibilities, deployments,normal and extended workinghours, temporary assigned duties(TAD) or weekend duties arise," saidNavy Lt. Melvin Stringfellow, JBABManpower and Personnel. "Keep-ing FCPs current ensures Sailors,their units and their families will al-ways be mission-ready."

In the Navy, FCPs are requiredfor all Sailors who are single parentsof minor children; married dual-

service member couples with minorchildren; or Sailors who are legallyresponsible for an adult familymember who is incapable of pro-viding for themselves in the absenceof the member.

A new FCP is required whenmembers report to a new duty sta-tion, change caregiver circum-stances, or when change in person-al or family circumstances occur,such as the birth or adoption of anew child, or when the member as-sumes sole care for an elderly or in-capacitated family member.

Each FCP must contain a familycare certificate (NAVPERS 1740/6),family care plan arrangements(NAVPERS 1740/7), as well as allpertinent legal documents, such ascustody or separation agreements,custody and support orders, or di-vorce decrees.

Experts advise service membersto take simple, common sense stepswith alternate caregivers to be aswell prepared as possible.

"One of the documents requiredin most FCPs is a special power ofattorney for the alternate caregiver,"said Stringfellow. "Make sure the

person you're trusting with yourchildren knows and understandstheir responsibilities."

Ensuring that all documents areup to date can save service mem-bers and caregivers a great deal oftime and trouble as well, he said.

"Check all ID cards to make surethey're not expired, update yourDEERS, your will, and if you haven'talready, sign up for Service Mem-bers Group Life Insurance and keepbeneficiaries up to date," saidStringfellow.

Stringfellow also highly recom-mended members make sure theirfinances are in order, arrange forfood, housing, transportation andemergency needs, and make all nec-essary funds available to caregivers.

Failure to provide or maintain aneffective, up-to-date FCP couldhave serious repercussions, up toand including administrative sepa-ration from the Navy.

For more information on FCPs,consult you legal office, fleet andfamily support center, your com-mand FCP coordinator, or searchfamily care plans on the Navy Per-sonnel Center website.

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO -- LACK-LAND, Texas -- Airmen and families have anew resource at their fingertips with the re-cent release of an updated and revised socialmedia guide by the Air Force Public AffairsAgency in San Antonio, Texas.

The guide features sections geared to-ward all Total Force members and their fam-ilies as well as Air Force leaders. It highlightstopics including using social media effec-tively, security awareness, social media plat-forms, public affairs programs and socialmedia policy among others.

"Our social media team has made greatstrides in updating this guide," said LarryClavette, Air Force Public Affairs Agency di-rector. "Airmen and families will see a lot ofinformation they can apply to their socialnetworking practices, whether they've beenusing social media for years or are just com-ing onboard with the technology."

While information on social media hasbeen around for several years, the types ofplatforms people use evolve and new onesstart up nearly every day. No matter whichsocial media platform you use, and whetheryou use social media personally or profes-sionally, many basic principles apply.

Operations security ranks first and fore-most in the minds of many military mem-

bers, but the casual nature of social mediacan easily lead to inadvertent sharing of sen-sitive personal information via personalprofiles and accounts. Everyone shouldmake sure they share personal informationonly with people they trust and understandthat no matter how secure they set up theirown accounts friends can unintentionallyshare details about their lives with peoplewho may have malicious intentions.

Though the desire to protect personal in-formation is one reason people may not joinsocial media platforms, unfamiliarity withthe platforms is another commonly citedreason for staying out of the social mediaarena.

social media so this guide doesn't fo-cus on how to set up new personal ac-counts," said Capt. Amber Millerchip,the deputy director of public commu-nications at AFPAA. "Instead, we fo-cused on how to communicate moreeffectively on some of the most com-monly used social media platforms.Wehope everyone finds something in theguide they can use in their personal orprofessional communications on theseplatforms."

For most Airmen and family mem-bers, the first half of the guide, alongwith the social media policy references,frequently asked questions and glos-sary at the end, cover the basics theyneed to successfully navigate socialnetworks. Unit leaders and public af-fairs Airmen will benefit from all thosesections plus the sections addressingsocial media and a public affairs pro-

gram and social media and AFPAA."Social media is another tool in a

public affairs toolkit," said TanyaSchusler, the chief of social media atAFPAA. "The new guide will help anyAir Force public affairs office start orimprove their social media program.The two most important things to re-member are to have a communicationplan and to engage with followers. So-cial media is supposed to be fun butthat doesn't mean it shouldn't be a de-liberate process."

As units share their Airmen's storieslocally, they might also consider send-ing stories, photographs and videoswith wider Air Force appeal to AFPAAso they can be featured on the main of-ficial United States Air Force social me-dia properties. The section in the guidediscussing social media and AFPAAoutlines how to submit those productsand also touches on a growing area inAir Force emerging technology use -the development of mobile applica-tions.

"We understand how mobile appli-cations can help Airmen and familiesin the Air Force, and we encouragefolks to leverage technology in accom-plishing their jobs more efficiently,"said Clavette.

"What we ask everyone to do is besmart about developing applicationsfor official use. There are many thingsto consider from impact on missioncompletion and potential risks to a va-riety of costs in development andmaintenance of an app. AFPAA is thefocal point for mobile applications de-velopment, so we need folks to contactus for guidance before jumping intothis area."

Airmen can download a copy of theguide from the social media tab atwww.af.mil, the official website of theU.S. Air Force or by selecting the link.Questions and comments about theguide can be directed to the AFPAA So-cial Media Division via the contact in-formation on the guide's back cover.
