Military Spouse Appreciation Day is just a small token of appreciation for ev-erything military spouses do, said Garri-son Commander Col. James Ellerson Jr.
“Even though we do this one time a year, the reality of it is we need to do this more often because we as Service Members clearly understand that we couldn’t do the things that we do if it wasn’t for the spouses supporting us on a regular basis,” Ellerson said to a ���< ��� �� �2����� ��the Main Exchange,.
Fort Jackson celebrated Military Spouse Apprecia-tion Day May 12 with a cake cutting ceremony at the Main Ex-change. Spouses attending received a tote bag of goodies and carnations.
“This is a really small token,” said Ellerson. “We really appreciate the mili-tary spouses and ‘thank you’ for all the things that you do.”
Afterwards, spouses walked in a fash-ion show wearing clothing found in the Exchange.
May is National Military Ap-preciation Month. As a part of the celebration, every Friday before Mother’s Day is Military Spouse Appreciation Day.
Fort Jackson Commander Maj. Gen. Pete Johnson says that families are the reason the military is able to complete its mission.
“Everyday I’m in awe of how spouses balance all of the demands of their family life, career, kids and balancing the checkbook, and then be able to
manage their Soldier,” he said. “And we Soldiers are a handful sometimes, without question.”

Looking back, Lt. Col. Yvette Brown, commander of 120th Adjutant General Battalion, said having Sgt. 1st Class Lori MacFarland on her team was a blessing in disguise.
“Lori’s ability to switch from drill sergeant to nurse made her one of a kind and she embraced both roles,” said Brown. “Her medical skills allowed her to care for her trainees with a little more passion and equally the drill sergeant in her never let her trainees wallow in self pity or give up their pursuit in becom-ing a United States Soldier.”
The Fort Jackson community took time to remember Mac-Farland during her memorial at Magruder Chapel May 12.
MacFarland joined the Army in November of 2003 and attend-ed Basic Combat Training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri fol-lowed by Health Care Specialist Advanced Individual Training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
She passed away April 15. “Today we bid farewell to an
exceptional Soldier, mother, sis-ter, aunt, colleague and friend,” said Brown during the ser-vice.
Before moving to the 120th Adjutant General Battalion’s Fitness Training Company, MacFarland spent 18 months as a drill sergeant with Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 13th In-fantry Regiment.
It was at 2nd Battalion, 13th Infantry Battalion where Sgt. 1st Class Faiza Evans met MacFarland.
“She had one of the biggest hearts of anyone I have ever known,” said Evans.
MacFarland is survived by her four children Aliyah Alza-djali, Gerardo Escamilla, Johnnie Avery and Eva MacFarland

Active-duty Soldiers have until Tuesday to apply for the Selective Retention Bonus Program, which has some new sweeteners added as a way to entice those now on active duty to continue serving.
For some Soldiers, re-enlistment during the two-week period will mean lump-sum bonuses – extra mon-ey to spend over the summer months, perhaps. For oth-ers, depending on their military occupational specialty, it might be better to wait until the two-week window closes, said Sgt. Maj. Mark A. Thompson, who serves as the senior Army career counselor with Army G-1.
Human Resources Command released Military Per-sonnel Message 17-153 “Selective Retention Bonus Program,” May 10. The new message describes in de-tail the latest plans to encourage Soldiers to stay in the Army through the use of re-enlistment bonuses.
According to the message, 22 MOSs will be removed from the SRB list, with the 11B infantryman, skill level one, being the largest group affected. Thompson said Soldiers serving in those 22 MOSs should take the bo-nus offered by the Army now, because after the two-<���<���<����������+<������������������ �to receive it.
On the other hand, 35 MOSs have been added to the SRB list. However, those Soldiers will need to wait
two weeks in order to take advantage of the bonuses, he said.
The great news is that the $13,000 “kicker” for ������� <��� � ���� +��� )"!= �/2������� �� ����of service remains for all of the bonuses listed in the MILPER, he said, explaining that a kicker is money in addition to the bonus.
For example, an 11B specialist who goes for the SRB within the two-week window would be eligible for both a Tier 3 bonus of $3,000 for a three-year re-enlistment, as well as a $13,000 kicker. The $16,000 would be delivered in a lump sum, or all at once, to the Soldier, Thompson said.

In December 2011, Gen. Ray Odier-no, Chief of Staff of the Army, directed the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command’s Combined Arms Center to look at different options for produc-ing strategic planners and future senior leaders through a doctorate program. The School of Advanced Military Studies, or SAMS, developed the Ad-vanced Strategic Planning and Policy Program, or ASP3, and began enrolling students in a pilot program in August 2012.

“Applying for the program was an opportunity for me to earn a Ph.D., a desire I’ve always had,” said Doward. “I also saw it as a great opportunity to have an effect on the strategic policy level.”

Doward, prior to arriving at USAR-CENT, spent the last two years study-ing at the University of South Carolina, Columbia completing all the require-ments for a doctorate except for his dissertation. He is writing his disser-tation on African-American Army Of- ��� �*���2���� �� �*������� ��-ing the 20th Century, focusing on the timeframe between World War I and the Korean War.

Upon completion of his command, Doward will spend time working on his dissertation and submit a draft and defend his thesis to faculty and com-���������������������� ��<��will read the dissertation and make suggestions for revisions and improve-ments.

Soldiers, non-commissioned officers and drill sergeants began competing in the 2017 Victory Best Warrior Competition Tuesday. The Soldiers are vying to be the best on Fort Jackson before heading to the TRADOC competition to be held on post in July.
The competition has changed from previ-ous years as the candidates took an Army Physical Fitness Test and then conducted
day and night land navigation on the first day. On Wednesday, the candidates stood before a panel of sergeants major answer-ing questions, and even had an on-camera interview.
Later this week, the candidates will com-pete in rifle marksmanship, navigate the fit-to-win course and show proficiency in Army combatives.

MEDDAC FJ highest ranked highest in patient satisfactionBy NICK SPINELLIMEDDAC Public Affairs
According to the most recent Army Medical Command Joint Outpatient Expe-rience Survey, or JOES, Quarterly Report, MEDDAC Fort Jackson has increased in �����2����������<������� ��� �����Region for “Satisfaction with Healthcare” and third for “Courtesy and Respect.” Ad-ditionally, four MEDDAC providers scored a perfect 100 percent satisfaction on the “Best of the Best” quarterly report.
These recognitions show MEDDAC’s �������� �� 2��*���� ��� ����� ������-���� �� ��� ������ ���� ����+ 2�2�������and have resulted in the facility moving up to Tier 3 of the Integrated Resourcing and Incentive System.
“The money that comes back to the ������������<� ������� ��� ;��������(�-sourcing and Incentive System, and is paid out organizations on a quarterly basis,” said Maj. Christopher Blacknall, MEDDAC Chief of Resource Management. “The in-centive is based on the percent of patients that had a positive response about their overall satisfaction, and has four payment tiers.”
JOES combines and standardizes long-standing services. It also includes a sepa-rate monthly survey based on the DHA
TRICARE Outpatient Satisfaction Survey, called JOES-C (where “C” stands for Con-sumer Assessment of Health Providers and Systems).
“JOES is a great way for Army Medi-���� �� �������������� ����+����������experiences,” Blacknall said. “As a way to motivate individual medical treatment
facilities to continue to improve the ben-� ����+�����������/2��������Z����Zprovides a monetary incentive to those fa-cilities that achieve a 95 percent or higher satisfaction score.”
This report marks the highest scores MEDDAC has received since implement-ing the JOES process; however, efforts will
continue to raise scores even higher.“Over the last year, MEDDAC has
earned over $112,000 for excellence in pa-tient satisfaction. With continued effort, the organization could earn even more money, which goes directly back into the organiza-tion and is used to buy new furniture and equipment,” Blacknall said.
JOES works similarly to the former Army Provider-Level Satisfaction Survey. Approximately 72 hours after an appoint-ment, a patient should receive a survey to complete and is asked to respond within �������&�����*�+����� *����������complete and will give health care provid-ers and MEDDAC leadership the feedback to improve quality of care, patient experi-ence and satisfaction.
Recent comments received by the MED-DAC include expressions such as “the best doctor I have ever had,” and “my cares about patients and is always concerned about my health and well-being.”
According to Col. Eric Edwards, MED-DAC commander, those are types of com-ments and reports expected of a clinic dedicated to providing safe, consistent, and accessible patient centered care.
“These reports demonstrate that we are ���������� �� ���� � ����� ���� 2�����*�impact on the quality of care delivered to our patients” he said.

‘Gaining knowledge’
Capt. Matthew Dixon, with the U.S. Army Physical Fitness School, presents six New York City firefighters with U.S. Army Physical Fitness Badges following their completion of a two-week training program at the school. ‘We’re gaining a tremendous amount of understanding and back-ground of what the Army does,’ said Lt. David Gomez, an instructor with the FDNY Fitness Unit. ‘We’re taking their tools and training and implementing them into our fire academy. Previous units that have come down here have laid the foundation, and we’ve utilized a ton of what we’ve learned here at the academy.’

Thompson urged eligible Soldiers to read the MILPER message to determine what changes affect them and to see their servicing career counselors as well, post-haste.
Three important and improved devel-opments have been added to the retention plan spelled out in the MILPER, Thomp-son said.
First, the bonus chart has been format-ted in a new way, he said. In past mes-sages, there have been two tables. Now, there is just one. The change, he said, is designed to make it easier for Soldiers to understand what they may or may not be ����� ����<�������������������*���
Second, there’s a chance for Soldiers to get incentive pay for reclassifying into a critically-short MOS and going to a spe-�� ����������������
For example, say a Soldier is currently assigned to Fort Hood, Texas, as a 15B aircraft power plant repairer. He or she is ������������� ������� ������������
unit. That Soldier can receive incentive money to change MOSs and be assigned to an airborne unit, which most likely would be Fort Bragg, North Carolina, but could also be Fort Carson, Colorado, or a
couple of other locations, Thompson said.That Soldier would get the incentive
money once he or she graduates from ad-vanced individual training and is assigned to an airborne position, he said.
The third improvement is that all Sol-diers who re-enlist will see an increase in the amount of stabilization, Thompson said. Previously, Soldiers re-enlisting for at least three years would get 12 months’ stabilization. Under the new policy, any Soldier with an FY17 ETS can re-enlist and get up to 36 months stabilization, depending on how many years they re-enlist.
Active-duty Soldiers not eligible for an SRB can still get something from the FY17 ETS fund, Thompson said, listing the amounts:
� $10,000 for a three-year re-enlist-ment
� $15,000 for a four-year re-enlistment��)"�"""���� *�%+�����%����������� $25,000 for a six-year re-enlistment� $5,000 for a 12- to 22-month exten-
sion� $7,500 for a 23-month extensionThompson explained that the ETS fund
is something that has never been done be-fore. The genesis of the ETS fund came out of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2017, signed Dec. 27, which man-dated an end-strength increase of the ac-tive component of the Army to 476,000, which is an increase of 16,000 Soldiers.
Sgt. Audrey L. Santana, right, re-enlists on the steps of the Lincoln Me-morial. Administering the oath of enlistment is Col. Bernard Koelsch, deputy director of Defense Media Activity. Many Soldiers who re-enlist this year are eligible for considerable bonuses.
