 Aloha everyone and welcome to the Community Information Exchange. I'm Rick Black, the Director of Public Affairs for U.S. Army Garrison, Hawaii. We are attempting to broadcast live today. We are recording, and we will post this recording on Facebook after the event. If you are joining us in person today, please use the microphones in the room for any questions. If you're looking for a copy of today's slides, they are on our website at home.army.mil and click on the link for Community Information Exchange on the right and then click the month. Shown is today's agenda where we have focused on a handful of community information topics from our presenters. There are still tremendous amounts of information available in the additional information section of the slides that are available on our website. At this time, I'd like to turn the program over to the command teams for opening remarks. Aloha and good afternoon, everybody, or good morning for at least a few more minutes and then good afternoon here in about 20. On behalf of Gen 11's and Command Sergeant Major Henry, I'd like to thank you for coming out to today's CIE and then for all the folks dialed in, thank you for dialing in and attending today's event. I'd like to open with just four things and then I'll hand it over to the other command group to provide some other opening comments. First is I'd like to thank the community for their patience during and while we continue to monitor our water situation here on Schofield, we're certainly looking for any feedback as we try to be completely transparent with you on what happened. But I think we're in a good spot or we're in a better spot and we're not completely out of the woods but do appreciate everybody's patience as we work through that and resolve that situation. The second thing I'd like to highlight and you'll see throughout the slide deck if you attended the CIE's in the past, we've tried to really hit the hot topics by the different garrison sections and then provided the backup slides that either handed out or downloaded online or just seen online, sort of the flyers and things like that. What we found is we had slides that, you know, like 200 slide slide deck that really was sort of cumbersome to go through. So we're hitting high points and then you'll have the backups for the command teams out there, the units that want to post flyers that reinforce some of these efforts. With that, I would highlight two slides that are in there in their CIE and that we'll cover. The first is the tenant satisfaction survey that is currently ongoing. We send a message out through command teams that should hopefully have gotten out through the family readiness groups or soldier family readiness groups. We have a window now where you can go on and provide DOD. It's not to IPC or to anybody, but directly to the Department of Defense on the satisfaction of housing and things like that on post. And so I'd encourage everybody to please participate in that. I think right now we're at about 13 percent. Our goal is to get about 50 percent. So we're quite a bit of ways from achieving our goal. And we'll have a flyer and in the slides is an opportunity to get QR code or certainly an address to get that. The final point I've got and I would highlight is it is the Army Emergency Relief Campaign season to give and many of our soldiers, if you don't know this benefit from AER, I will share with you that after 28 years in the Army, AER has evolved into a very user friendly and supportive system to our soldiers and their families. When I first joined it was very difficult to get an AER loan and many soldiers said why should I give? They never give any money and so there was a lot of confusion and I compliment and really congratulate the leadership of AER and one raising money and establishing ways to support soldiers and families which really is mostly through grants. Grants means you don't have to pay it back and so I'd encourage everyone to give. There's several ways to give, but it is the AER season. The easiest way is the PX when you pay, you can donate through that pay system or through the kiosk, but there's other ways as well and so I'd highlight that slide and that information that's coming up. Again, thank you for attending. I'll pass it over to our Garrison Command Team and then we'll get started with our briefing. Good morning, team. Just to add for the Army Tenant Satisfaction Survey, so that survey is going to run through the 18th of April, so only for a couple more weeks here. So I'd greatly appreciate logging on. IPC had sent out the email in order to give us a feedback on that survey. And then two is Colonel Garcia had mentioned Army Emergency Relief, so to date our team has given about $6,000. The goal was 75 and then last year the team over at ACS handed out just over $2.1 million. So we got some work to do in terms of additional awareness and then for contributions. Good to go, Rick. Let's get started. Okay, great. I do have confirmation that our live feed did start right at the beginning of the CIE, so I would ask those joining us virtually, please post questions as comment on the Facebook and we can get to your answers live. We'll follow up in the coming days. So thank you, sir. So we'll proceed with today's exchange of information from our panel starting with Dennis Duck from DFMWR. Hi, good morning, everybody. I appreciate the opportunity to be here this morning. We have several things we want to talk about just a little very briefly. So April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and here to tell us how Army Community Services plans to raise awareness of that is Perry Vaugh. Hi, good morning. Thank you, Mr. Duck. My name is Perry. I am with Army Community Service Family Advocacy Program. As Mr. Duck had mentioned, April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. It is a time to raise awareness of the importance of protecting children from abuse and neglect. This month is focused on educating individuals and community members on the signs of abuse, how to prevent it, and how to report it. This year's theme is Rock Solid Families Starts Here. In support of the campaign, we have planned many activities throughout the month of April. Our first event is the Child Safety Fair scheduled for Friday, April 5th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. here at the tropics. We have presenters discussing different safety topics and over 20 organizations offering information and resources. On Thursday, April 11th, we will have our superhero run walk event. This will take place at 6.30 a.m. at Wayan Field. We encourage all participants to dress up in their favorite superhero costume and join us in that fun run. In addition to these two events, we also have outreach tables that will be placed at different locations, both on the south and on the north, and we'll also be doing a weekly sign waving at different locations as well, just to get the message out into the community. All of these events are free and open to the community. For more information, you could call us at ACS. That number is 808-787-4227 or follow us on our Facebook page to get the latest information on our activities. If you know or suspect abuses occurring, please contact our installation, reporting point of contact, which is our military police. You can contact Schofel Barracks at 808-655-5555 or Fort Schafter at 808-438-9395 and Child Protective Services at 808-832-5300. Thank you for your time, and we hope to see you all at our event. Great. Thank you, Perry. So we talked a little bit about AER. If you want to know how we're progressing towards our $75,000 goal this year, you'll see the red and white thermometers at most main post gates, and you can see how our donations are adding up. FunFest is here, finally, Saturday, this Saturday, the day after tomorrow. The excellent 5K fun run, the FunFest itself, Earth Day, the travel fair, vendors, sponsors. It's going to be a great time. Hope to see everybody out at Way and Field, 9 o'clock on Saturday. The Hanger Entertainment Center is reopening its bowling lanes with Hyper Bowl. That's happening on Tuesday at 11 o'clock. So they've extended their hours at the Hanger to Tuesday and Wednesday, adding lunch. And to celebrate the opening of the Hyper Bowl, anybody coming in for lunch Tuesday through Friday next week will get one free game so they can experience the lights and the sounds and the sensors and everything that makes up Hyper Bowl. So join us out at the Hanger sometime for lunch next week. The Yusar High installation volunteer recognition ceremony is set for 1 May. If your units and yourselves don't have your nominations in yet, tomorrow is the deadline. Not on this slide, Easter Sunday, Haleakena is hosting a brunch. This normally sells out every year, but as of today, there are still a few spaces left. So if you'd like to reserve a seat, you can call Haleakena at 787-4011. And then for more information on the events on this slide and the many, many other things that are going on at DFMWR, please join us on any of our social media sites or join us on our website. It's HIMWR.com and everything that we're doing is right there, including ways to get a job. So we just had all the kids off of school last week for spring break, then we had them off for Prince Gujio Day, tomorrow is Good Friday, your kids will be off again, 15th purple up day. So April is also the month of the military child and we encourage everyone to recognize the important role military children play in our community. So we're asking you to purple up. On April 15th, wear purple, it's that easy. Hope to see all of you at Fun Fest on Saturday, that's all I've got for you this morning. All right. Thank you, Dennis. Appreciate it. We'll continue our exchange with Staff Sergeant Van from BOSS. Good morning. So for the rest of this month, we still have a lot of great opportunities that you can take advantage of. Today we have a finance class where we're teaching soldiers how to budget your money, increase your credit score, and also if you're looking into buying a vehicle, what type of questions should you ask? So we're going to be doing that today at 1600 right here in Tropics. It is open for the first 30 soldiers, so please reach out to us if you have any questions. And then also tomorrow we have game night. So with our game night, it is going to be at the hangar. We have it from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. With the game night, we're going to be providing all types of games, services that you can play. We have spades, dominoes, blackjack, phase 10 monopoly. Come on out with us. We also will have the bar open, as well as food purchases available. If you want to participate, we do work with the drunk driving prevention program. And with that, we'll be able to provide a shuttle service all night. We're going to be picking up and dropping off soldiers so there's no drinking and driving. So if you'd like to participate with us, that will be tomorrow. And Saturday we have our next deep sea fishing. So for the month of April, we have multiple events, including our boss PT. We have sunrise hikes, dodge ball PT, flag football, can jam, kick ball. We also have a snorkeling event coming up on the 13th of April. What's nice with a snorkeling is that we do have a ton of equipment that we can let you borrow. You just have to coordinate with our team if you need assistance with that. So you can either borrow equipment or if you want to use your own, you can meet us out there. But we have a great snorkeling event coming up. We have another deep sea fishing on the 13th, and then tons of volunteer opportunities. So again, if you have any soldiers that's looking to get out there, help out the community, you're trying to get your MLVSM, get those volunteer hours, we can help you with that. So we have Access Surf, the first Saturday and the third Wednesday of the month. And then we have a beach cleanup on the 27th, and then also a car wash happening on the 20th. Not only are we doing things outside, but we're also inside. So if there's something else that you're interested in, we have karaoke night that we're going to be helping out again at the hangar two different times on the fourth and the 11th. We have Dungeons and Dragons right here in Tropics. That's going to be on the 12th. And then on the 19th is game night. So again, any of the events that we offer, we do provide transportation. It doesn't matter where you live on Oahu, we will pick you up and drop you off. You just have to coordinate with us. If anybody has any questions, our office is located right here in Tropics on the second floor. So you can always reach out to us. We have phone, email. We have the group chats. There's many ways you can get ahold of us, but we are always available for you. Pending any questions? Sir Fan, when is the next meeting and who can attend? Sir Major, the next meeting is always going to be the first Tuesday. So the first Tuesday of April is going to be on the second. It's right here in Tropics. It's at 1,400. Anybody can attend. It is a requirement for all boss representatives, but we do encourage all leaders to come out. Whether you are a Florence EO, a Barracks manager, that's also great because if you have any issues with your quality of life issues, you can bring them up in that form as well. And then can you also talk about the traveling trophies that we're starting? So we have a huge traveling trophy that is going to be presented for the boss volunteer of the quarter and then the boss representative of the quarter. So this trophy is huge. And you're going to be able to take that if you win to your company or your battalion. You can bring it back and it's definitely bragging rights. So we are providing that for the quarter soldier that's getting those nominations, but we are giving out all kinds of awards. Every single month we give out the best boss rep of the month and the best volunteer of the month. And then if there's any other activities that you're doing that are great, we will call you out. We love giving you out awards. The other one that we're doing as well is for the battalion command team. So the battalion that is most supporting of the boss program between attending the various events, the boss monthly meeting, so on and so forth. And then that'll get handed out quarterly at one of the boss monthly meetings. All right. Thanks, Sergeant Pham. We will continue with director of human resources, Matt Matunas. Hey, good morning team. Matt Matunas here. I've just got a couple of topics I want to talk about this morning. As we head into PCS season and it's really starting to ramp up right now and remind our leadership teams specifically, take a look at your sponsorship programs. Make sure your unit sponsorship coordinators are assigning sponsors to those incoming soldiers because they're not just going out, they're coming in as well. So we want to make sure we welcome them to the USAR HOA team appropriately. There's three different trainings available. Those are listed on the slide either through the eSponsorship website, ACT, and a plug for ACS. They provide sponsorship training twice a month. Our USAR Hawaii sponsorship coordinator Ms. Hounani Tabakal, she's over in the DHR. And there's her contact information on the bottom of the slide. If you need to have your coordinators reach out and get any information or additional resources from her. Next slide, please. So our Education Services Officer is currently on leave. So I'm filling in for him. Next slide, please. How many of our young soldiers in here have heard of BSAP before? So basic skills education program. We've added numerous additional classes. And just two weeks ago, I was honored to be part of a ceremony over at the Education Center where we had numerous soldiers that increased their GT scores anywhere from 95 to 120, basically so they can get into Warrant Officer programs, Green to Gold, AMED programs, things of that sort. So take advantage of this. We've added numerous additional classes. Also please reach out to our Education Services team if you'd like to have them come out to your unit and provide the classes. We're more than welcome to do that as well. So a lot of soldiers lately have been increasing their scores 20 to 25 points, which is just phenomenal. And last but not least, our next College Education Fair is going to be on the 26th of June over at 604 Bullroom from 10 to 1600. We're going to have over 30 educational institutions over there to support soldiers and their families as well. So all our community members are welcome to attend. Pending any questions? Thank you. Thanks, Matt. We'll continue our information exchange with the Director of Emergency Services, Jim Tyler. Hello, team. Jim Tyler, I'm standing in for the director, Colonel Green. Our topic today is a Neighborhood Watch program and our efforts to reenergize this program within use for all communities. The program is meant to supplement our efforts to fight, but more importantly, prevent crime from happening in our communities. Strong community involvement in a good, solid neighborhood watch programs have historically shown to reduce crime by up to 15%. The program is designed to educate our communities about crimes in their respective areas, establish improved communications with neighbors and law enforcement, and to improve overall security practices and posture. Slide, please. We have 10 neighborhoods and 86 playgrounds under user hop control, some of which are in areas without 24-7 access control, all of which are vulnerable to some form of crime. Between 2021 and 2023, we experienced more than 2,800 crimes. We believe it important to share these numbers with you and also share our standing against other installations throughout the Army and the surrounding Oahu community. Slide, please. The upper portion of this slide is a snapshot comparison. It depicts crime rates of military communities against their respective host crime rates, or host community crime rates. Note that our Army populations do fare better than host community rates. For example, to the left side of the slide, use for all rates are roughly 1 quarter of a Oahu's rate and approximately 1 third of the national average. Of course, one crime is too many and rebooting this program gives us the opportunity to work closer with the community and unify our efforts to eliminate crime. We will be surveying residents of Wheeler Army Airfield and Hillamano Military Reservations next week to gauge community interest and participation in this program. And we plan updates of our progress at future CIEs and at the resident advisory boards. Listed in the lower portion of this slide includes our continued efforts to reduce crime through operation safer garrison roadside compliance checks, random access measures that select gates, and targeted surveillance operations in areas experiencing increased crime trends. Pending your questions, I'll be followed by Justin Turnbow. He is our Army Wildland Fire Chief to discuss the pending prescribed burn. Justin, before you get started, please come on up, but before you get started, I'd like to reiterate to everyone in the audience and our outstations, you see the slide and we can say we are, in terms of crime rates, better than the U.S. average, better than most other military garrisons on the mainland or around the world. But to be very clear, our standard is, we hold very high as to try and get that to zero. And so one of the efforts, as we have looked at this across the U.S. Army Hawaiian leadership, is what else can we do? And I give compliments to Jim and Colonel Green who've looked at and what he briefed you on, is implementing the Neighborhood Watch Program. What the statistics really show is we've taken briefings on this, looked at it as that the best prevention of crime is generally neighbor-to-neighbor engagement and discussion and when something this doesn't seem right, to call it up. And so I'd ask that one, you understand, we want to get that to zero. It's a lofty goal, but we're not going to shy away from it. And two, please, if you see something, report it, because that's where we get our best defense against crime, regardless of where you live on Oahu or other military installations, okay? So thank you very much. Okay, Justin, now you're all clear. Let's talk wildfires. Good morning, my name's Justin Turnbos. Mr. Teller said, I'm the wildland fire program manager here for the Army. Coming up this April, April 15th to the 20th, we'll be conducting our annual prescribed fire. This is the seventh consecutive year we've done the prescribed fire. It's approximately 1700 acres and it's across the West Range, which is right out that way. Last week, you probably saw some smoke coming up from out of there, and if you're up at about three o'clock in the morning last Thursday, you probably saw a whole lot. The good news is those were seven wildfires that we had. They burned about 800 acres of our proposed area. We have several objectives up there. We have a primary, secondary and tertiary objective. The areas that burned last week were our primary and secondary objectives that we were going to do for the prescribed fire. So good news is that's going to shorten the duration of this year's event. Generally speaking, it takes us three to five days to conduct the burn because of what's already burned. It's going to take us probably about two days to wrap this up and be done with it. One of the reasons why we burn, main reason why we burn, is to protect threatening dangerous species habitat, also reduced unwanted wildfires on the range from training events. When we burn, we reduce the fuel loads out there. So if we have a fire, it's easier for us to fight. It's easier for us to put it out and it's better for you guys to get back to training. Some of you probably don't want to hear that, but that's why we're out there. In the event that the weather is bad and we're not able to burn in April, we have a alternative date, which is May 13th through the 18th. And I know that's during high school graduation and that's kind of a problem, so we're sensitive to that. We try to limit any sort of impacts to our communities and our neighbors by burning with a certain prescription. And what that means is we have certain thresholds that we have to follow, including advising of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service that guarantees that our smoke will get up and out of the area, out over the ocean with mental impacts to our neighbors and our communities. And any other questions, that's all I have. Thank you. All right, thanks, Justin. We'll continue with Director of Public Works with Tony Ganey. Good afternoon, I'm Tony Ganey, Director of Public Works. Really two things, one was mentioned by the command team earlier, is the Army Tenant Satisfaction Survey. It is live from four March to 18 April. So if you haven't, if you live in Army Family Housing, haven't already taken the survey about 10 minutes, maybe 15, please do so. We're about four weeks into the survey and we have about three weeks remaining. The goal is 30% or higher participation in the survey. We're currently, as of this morning, 16.2%. So we're about halfway there. The benefit of the survey is it's directly from you as the residents on what's going well and what can be improved. And it informs Army senior leaders in terms of where to apply their resources in Army Family Housing. So it matters and your voice what determines how we move forward with that. So please do take the survey. Now if you haven't received a notification to take the survey, there are other ways besides the email sent to you so you can go online or contact Sol directly. So it's the company that's doing the survey. It's a third party Army Housing Survey at acelassociates.com. It's on the next slide, next slide please. You can scan the QR code and apply that way. And if you haven't seen it in your email, check your junk mail just in case. It potentially could be in there. But other than that, also, Island Palm also sent out notifications through their channel on how to take the survey. Again, important for determining resources for Army Family Housing and your voice matters in that respect. Just a quick question for the group. Are soldiers in the barracks encouraged to take that survey as well? Does it cover beyond just housing or is it all quality of life issues on post? It's Army Family Housing for this particular survey. Okay, so we're focused on folks living in housing and not soldiers in the barracks. For this particular survey, correct. Okay, I just want to alleviate some tasks for some of our soldiers in the barracks there. Okay, so the second thing I want to talk about is just really one road closure. Next slide, please. We're repairing a roof building 204 on Wheeler Army Airfield and Stirling Road right adjacent to the building. We will have to close that road for safety considerations and also for use of equipment moving around in order to do roof repair. So that road will be closed within the vicinity of Building 204 on Wheeler Army Airfield for really, since yesterday till 31 May. It's a small segment. It should be minimal disruption to traffic in that area. Essentially, there's no right turn coming off of Right Avenue or the Santa's Dumont coming from the other direction. The pedestrian will be rerouted around the building so that you don't walk into that, essentially a construction area. And again, it's really for safety concern. So pending any question, that's all I have. All right. Thank you, Tony. We will now move on with our Religious Support Office and Chaplain Lohort. Hey, good afternoon, everybody. I appreciate the opportunity to be here to speak with you. Thank you for taking the time to come out. Again, my name is Joe Lawhorn. It's my privilege to be your Garrison Chaplain. You can see the slide there with the phone number. In case you didn't know where we were located, we're here at Schofield Barracks right next to Mainpost Chapel. We're on the second floor right above Peterson CDC. So if you've got any Religious Support needs or if there's anything that our team can do to support you in that, feel free to reach out. Maybe a phone number, come see us. You can hit us up on Facebook too. Really encourage that for you. I don't have a slide for this because this isn't the primary focus of my presentation today, but I did wanna remind everybody in the room, maybe you're new, maybe you're just getting here and you didn't know this. Here in Oahu, United States Army, Hawaii, we have religious services that happen all over this island. Right now we're up to around 19 different services of all faiths. We meet in seven different locations. So we've got something for everybody if you're interested in a weekend service. The other thing I'll tell you is that we've got a plethora of activities, religious sport activities that happen through the week, Monday through Saturday in our religious education programming. Anybody who's interested in children's ministry, women's ministry, youth ministry, we've got all kinds of things, opportunities, little communities, opportunities for you to get involved with. Life is just better when you do life with other people in the context of a community. So I definitely ask for you to consider that if you've got questions, again, feel free to reach out. The other thing that I wanna highlight is that at the Religious Support Office, we have what we call the Family Life Counseling Center. We have a chaplain who works there who is credentialed as a marriage and family therapist. So this is like a step above your unit chaplain when it comes to counseling. And so if you've got an ID card, you are eligible to go get free 100% confidential counseling with our family life counselor. Okay, so he does individual counseling, couples counseling, marriage counseling, family counseling, kids counseling. If it's counseling, he does it. And so I just wanna remind you of that to take advantage of it. I believe everybody needs counseling. Okay, the focus of this presentation is really the hot topic of what we call Holy Week and you've got the slide up there. So throughout this month, the Religious Support Office has been conducting events in support of the Lent Season, which is very important to people. And then of course we're in what we call Holy Week this week as many people are gonna celebrate Easter this coming weekend. The slide that you see before you there is just a summary of some of the Catholic community events that have happened. Many of them have already happened, but if you look on the right hand of the slide, beginning where it says Holy Thursday, that's tonight. So even tonight we've got Catholic events that are happening both AO North and AO South. Start at Holy Thursday and just go right on down to the culmination on Easter Sunday, which is this 31 March. All kinds of events, all kinds of opportunities for you to take part of as part of the Catholic community. Again, if you got any questions, feel free to reach out to us about some of the specifics. Next slide please. So that was the Catholic rundown. Here's the Protestant rundown. If you're a Protestant of any faith, again some of these have already happened because we've been doing them throughout the months, leading up to this season. But if you look on the left hand side of this slide at the bottom where it says Monty Thursday, some of you are like, what does that even mean? Some of you know what that means. It's a holy celebration that centers around what we call the Last Supper and the Jesus washing the disciples feet. There's gonna be events centered around that theme, both at Fort DeRussey Chapel down in the South and then at Soldiers Chapel here. This is, again, this is tonight. And then you can see some of the other events that are scheduled beginning tomorrow and then through the weekend. Over on the right hand side of the slide, you see some information about Easter sunrise services which hopefully you've heard something about already. But I'll go into more detail on that in the next and last slide that I have. If you could switch to the last slide, please. Okay, everybody knows what Sunday is, right? It's Easter. In Christian circles, it's an important day because we celebrate what we believe is the risen Christ and we're gonna be having, we're gonna have our normal religious services on that day, right? So at their normally scheduled times, but in addition to that, we're gonna be conducting Easter sunrise services in both AO North and AO South. In AO North, we're gonna do it at Wayan Field. It's gonna be at 6.30 in the morning. And the service in AO South will be at the, there's a pavilion that's right outside the headquarters of Usurpack. It's a covered pavilion, exact same thing. It'll start at 6.30. So at 6.30 in the morning, on Sunday, the flag will go off, everybody will salute. You'll hear the cannon and then the worship service will start. It's gonna be completely casual and formal. We're not gonna have the band there. So feel free to come as you are if that's something that you're interested in. Completely casual, it's just gonna be centered and focused exclusively on worship. There'll be some refreshments afterwards at both locations. So again, Easter sunrise services, Wayan Field here in the North, 06.30. Fort Shafter right outside of Usurpack headquarters under the pavilion, 06.30 in AO South. I think I've covered everything that I came here to say. Unless anybody's got any questions, I'm gonna hand this mic to our commissary friends. All right, thank you, chaplain. Thank you. Just as he mentioned, we'll now hear from Monica from the Defense Commissary Agency. Good morning, team. I wanted to talk about one of the biggest topics right now. We have our, the commissary will be going bagless starting April 30th. This is in support of the agency's efforts to meet state and federal laws as well as reduce waste in landfills on the island. If you wish to voice your concern, we have a link on the slide. Some of the other events that we have going on right now, tomorrow we'll be collaborating with AFIS and honoring our Vietnam veterans with a pinning ceremony from 10 to noon. We also have our store inventory coming up 15 through 16 April. There will be no changes to operational hours and the only changes that you will see products will be pushed to the back of the shelves. We also have our Click2Go program that we would love for you to try out. We have over 40 pickup slots. This is from 08 to 200 every day, every 30 minutes. And we just have plenty of job openings all the time. That's all I have, pinning any questions? I just have one question to make sure we're clear. As we go bagless, does that include the bags that are used for produce in the produce section? No, sir, not at this time. Okay, so if a customer comes, they can grab one of those clear bags, put bell peppers or carrots or whatever they're buying in those and still use those. It's the bags in the front of the commissary that are used and that's paper and plastic will be going away. Yes, sir, correct. Okay, thank you very much. Thank you, have a great day. Oh, and yeah, and Carl McGunna will grab it. The meat section will still have bags or will not? Yes. Yes, we'll have bags. Okay, so meat and vegetables will still be in bags. To pack your bags out is bagless. Awesome, thank you. Okay, thank you. Thank you to our panel today. Shown is a calendar at a glance with the next three months of significant events. Again, there is also much more information available in the additional information section of the slides available online. At this time, I'll pause for any questions in the room. And I see no one running for the microphones and I'll also check for any remaining questions from the online audience. I see no indication. So at this time, I'll turn it over to the command teams for any closing comments. All right, if anybody decides they have a question while we're doing closing comments, that is still perfectly absolutely allowed. So don't be afraid to be the first one to stand up. Last time we recognized the first question, ask her for their willingness to volunteer. So I'll just sort of summarize some of the theme, I think is important in the asses and it's really, it hits through a couple of them, but it's really community and the community and the installation doesn't function unless we all work together. And that includes finding the positives, helping each other out, but also finding the negatives and giving feedback or where you think you have valid input. So if there is something that you see out there and you think, hey, that doesn't make sense to me or why are we doing that? Don't feel you're not raising an issue, you're not raising a complaint if you're coming with an observation of a problem that you observe and a recommendation for how that could be addressed or even if you don't have a great idea, say, hey, I see this as a problem, I'm not sure what to do, but I think we should address it. That isn't an issue and that is what we should all be committed to every single day is identifying where we can all improve and that is just a simple life goal and how we should function in any organization we're a partner. So I appreciate the people out there willing to do that. In terms of the community, we hit a little bit on terms of the religious services that are coming up but we all get very involved inside the units and the mission and that is our number one priority and after we take care of the mission and our family then really the next is community but take a look at where you're plugging into the community out there and where are you providing something back into the community, whether it be simply a sponsorship and somebody news coming in and you're saying reaching out and positively saying, hey, I'm here, what do you need? How do I help you out? Or whether it's you're looking at a family or a friend and saying, hey, they're having a hard time and I sat in the CIE and I was tracking and Chaplain Lawhorn mentioned, if I wanna do the military family life chaplain counseling, confidential counseling down there, it's not, you go down there and you don't have to be religious or if it's something in ACS or if it's AER, there's a lot and we need to be appreciative and understand that the military community does a lot to support itself. There's always things we can do better to find those but help each other find the support that exists out there to make every single day a little bit better or to lift those burdens where they exist where you have a teammate who's struggling because I guarantee there's somebody out there on the installation who knows the answer or has a resource that you can plug into to get help and I'll do the final pitch really for ACS and Perry and the team that sits over there. If you don't know, if you walk in the front door ACS that's right over there, PX Commissary Area and say, I need help with X, they may not be the building but they absolutely will work tirelessly to find you what building that is. So come together, help each other out and really that is what I, sort of the pitch for this one is community is find those ways to plug in and identify where other people need assistance. And along that same thing for assistance. So if you're a single service member in here, so the boss forum that's gonna take place on the 2nd of April, so a part of that boss meeting is quality of life. So we talk about quality of life that are potentially some things on the installation that we need to improve. Everything's from something that maybe happened into a barracks to potholes. You name it, it's brought up in that forum. So if you have something that's another feedback mechanism for single soldiers, geo-bachelors is the boss forum. And then thanks to the team that puts us on between TV2, all the installation partners, Garrison up here and then thanks to each of you for being here to get this information and then share the information. The backup slides are in here, the amount of information of things that are going on in our community, it is substantial. So please, someone else can use this information to continue to better this community. So thank you. One last pause for any questions and options and I'll hand it to you to close out so I don't see anybody coming up. And no questions online, Rick, right? Okay. I started out by just thanking all of you in the community and the outstations for your patience with the ongoing water repairs and monitoring and I just reiterate that thanks to all of you. Thank you again for your patience and thank you to our DPW team and really the entire group of folks sitting up here and the people behind them and behind the scenes that do so much. I live on post I have for about four or five years now and I know Tony Ganey and I know when the stuff comes across my email of an issue I kind of have to take a deep breath and realize that have a bit of patience, a bit of grace for him but DPW in particular this week works tirelessly to maintain the systems that we've got and on top of that improve them and so there's a long term plan, it doesn't come very quickly but there's a long term plan to improve them to improve the systems and when you see some of the pictures that Tony sends and he updates the user all commander and command star major and the command team there are folks going down, digging down 20 to 30 feet underground jumping in holes to repair pipes and we acknowledge the systems are old they will get updated but there's a tremendous amount of work that goes to repairing them and so I just, it's not easy but I extend my thanks to them as well as the entire team up here for all they do. This forum has solved some problems and we continue as Colonel McGonagall stated to push to bring the problems forward here and let us know. An example of that was the ticket for our college kids that can come back, the dependents that are in school and they have that authorization and there was a very lengthy process and we've shortened that through Matt's team and all they've done. We're looking to solve or lower our crime rates and Colonel Green and Jim briefed today about how we're looking to stand up neighborhood watch communities that report. There are lots of things out there I know that we all want to solve so please as you think through them, jot them down. No, nobody will be turned away to ask questions or bring things forward. We're here to identify those issues and solve them including things we find from our single soldiers in the barracks. You know, we're here to solve those as well and make this a better community for all of us and our veterans that come on post and their families that come to visit. So thank you for all you do. I think we're done. Have a great day.
