More than 25 employers are expected to be available for the Soldier For Life — Transition Assistance Program Hiring Fair, scheduled from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 10, at Truman Education Center.

Employers will be providing opportunities in fields such as government, trucking, health care, law enforcement, retail sales, electronics, defense and more.

“The hiring fair provides a means for job seekers to potentially interview for multiple jobs all at one location,” said Alfredia Williams, transition services specialist.

Williams said she encourages participants to dress for an interview, bring a resume and be prepared to network and possibly receive

job offers. “It is imperative that job seekers make

sure their resume is correct, updated and in a professional format. They should also prepare for a telephonic and/or face-to-face interview during the hiring fair,” she said. The SFL-TAP office can provide resume as-sistance. “The right resume may even result in an on-the-spot interview,” Williams said.

SFL—TAP is a program designed to ensure all eligible transitioning service members have the education, training and counseling neces-sary to be career-ready when they separate from active-duty service.   “SFL-TAP does an excellent job of preparing employment and education workshops that prepare transitioning Soldiers for meaningful

U.S. Army Garrison Fort Leonard Wood is getting a clearer picture of what is

working and what’s not on the instal-lation. Members of the garrison Interac-tive Customer Evaluation Program team are now engaging community members who normally might not complete an ICE card about garrison programs and services, by conduct-ing on-the-spot customer surveys.

“After observing multiple forums where various stakeholders were asked or tasked to attend, it became obvious we were getting attendees who had not necessarily experienced all the helpful/support programs offered,” said Mike Alley, management analyst.

For example, many spouses work during the day, so the majority of garrison feedback was coming from non-working spouses at weekday forums. The same, could be said for military retirees; while many work on the installation, there are numerous others living the area who do not have daily post interaction.

“The challenge was to engage all our stakeholders, and the best way to do that was to find out where they congregated and when, and engage them there,” Alley said.

Leaders began seeking feedback in places such as BOSS meetings or ven-ues such as spouse group meetings.

“We’ve established a very simple survey form and have conducted surveys at places like the Exchange pharmacy, and asked questions like,

‘How do you rate the services at the gates/guards?’ We do the same at various food courts; sometimes looking for specific patrons, like joint-service Families,” Alley said.

He said they con-ducted surveys at the an-nual Fort Leonard Wood Retiree Appreciation Day, and gathered helpful data from the retiree population about their priorities above and beyond just medical care.

Service members who use the Specker Dining Facility, are one example of how the com-munity has benefited from this initiative. As a stake-holder group, Alley said they usually didn’t receive a lot of specific feedback from them.

“By engaging those service members at that location, we were quickly able to learn it’s very crowd-ed there,” Alley said. “Several Ma-rines specifically said they didn’t like the fact that they ended up running through mud to get to the north en-trance from the parking lot, because no sidewalk had ever connected that side of the building. (The Directorate of Public Works) engaged and fixed that shortfall in pretty short order.”

Alley said the former Maneuver Support Center of Excellence and Fort Leonard commanding general saw the ICE Program serving as the installation suggestion program.

The Interactive Customer Evaluation program is considered the ultimate “suggestion” program for the installation. Service providers are seeking sug-gestions, includ-ing positive and negative feedback.

QR codes are future of feedback

March is National Women’s History Month, and the Bruce C. Clarke Library will have many materials on display and available for check-out.

The National Women’s His-tory Project was established

by President Jimmy Carter in 1980 and devel-ops the national theme and a list of honor-ees. This year’s theme is “Work-ing to Form a More Perfect Union: Honor-

ing Women in Public Service and Government.” Two of this year’s honorees have mili-tary connections: Oveta Culp Hobby, World War II director of the Women’s Army Aux-iliary Corps and first Secre-tary of the U.S. Department

What I learned in the ArmyBy Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Isaiah GilletteSpecial to GUIDON

This is the last timeI will write a chaplain’s column

for an Army newspaper. I retire this coming sum-mer, after 21 years of active duty.

During a career in the Army, a person can pick up many odds and ends of information — both

useful and useless. Here is a small col-lection of random ob-servations and advice from this chaplain’s

foxhole:— Double and triple-

check your map, before driving your Humvee up the side of a moun-tain (this is experience speaking).

— The religious denomination you dislike the most will always have the nicest chaplains.

— There will always be a “new and improved” uniform to buy.

— With a box of chem-lights you can have an awesome candle-light field service.

— Standing at some-one’s front door for a next-of-kin notification is like being Moses before the burning bush: you are standing on holy ground, and people’s lives are about to change forever.

— The first time I

saluted for the national anthem, I got a lump in my throat. I still do.

— Under the most challenging and primi-tive of field conditions, senior NCOs can still brew amazing coffee.

— A powerful warrior, who is also really smart, is a winning combina-tion; the United States Army has many of them.

— Most of my brother priests in the civilian world have no idea what I do. I really enjoy tell-ing them.

— Every time I ask Army couples how they met, they laugh and have a funny story to tell.

— Army spouses are just plain amazing; espe-cially mine.

— Most Soldiers have someone back home praying for their safety, so I mostly pray for their victory (and also for their safety).

— I preached to the Army Chaplain School on Sept. 12, 2001. How do you speak what’s in your heart, the day after 9/11?

— Living on Meals, Ready-to-Eat will create a barter economy, so try to get the meals with the jalapeño cheese spread, as this is a valuable item of exchange.

— Sometimes, hope re-ally is a course of action.

— When you open the Bible, you have “Re-ceived the Mission,” and have the commander’s intent.

God’s peace be upon all. (Editor’s note: Gil-

lette is the Family Life chaplain.)

Maj. Gen. Kent Savre, MSCoE and Fort Leonard Wood commanding general, has built upon that, seeing the need to conduct surveys at critical customer service locations.

“We’ve run with that mission,” Alley said.

The usage of the ICE program is also being encouraged at events such as the weekly Arrive Strong Community Orientation held at the Fort Leonard Wood USO. Alley said new arrivals are assured the garrison commander reads comment cards weekly.

“We tell people during briefs that it doesn’t matter what they want to sug-gest, and they can suggest or comment

about anything,” Alley said. “Tell us what you’re thinking or what you’d like to have. If you miss something from your previous duty station, let us know, and we’ll try to make it happen.”

A new career-development program, the Garrison Unleashed Talent team, which serves as an effort to increase the understanding of the garrison integrated work process among a competitively selected group of civil-ian employees, will also be used to help improve the ICE feedback program.

“Part of what they will be doing is go-ing out and getting ICE comments from individuals from different services garrison provides,” said Mark Premont, director, Plans Analysis and Integra-tion Office. “Some services we don’t get

very many ice comments, so we want to point them in that direction.”

Premont said using the GUT team will help boost the initiative’s success and help them learn more about receiv-ing customer feedback, all while get-ting a better understanding of garrison operations.

Alley said he encourages customers to take part in the ICE Program. Survey cards are available at the different providers on post. There are also quick response, or QR, codes posted around the installation that customers can scan with their smart phones to leave feed-back. Customers can also visit the Fort Leonard Wood home page, www.wood.army.mil, and click on the ICE link at the bottom of the page.

response codes, also known as QR codes. “Ninety percent of our current entries are manually

input,” Alley said. “We just don’t have the long-term man-power to keep that up. Digital input will be the norm one day, and the method will be QR Codes.”

Alley said moving in that direction is a cultural change for some.

“The QR code is a big part of the future because someday paper has to go away,” Alley said.

He said the Fort Leonard Wood Tax Center has had more than 700 ICE cards submitted this year, but only four of the submissions were from QR codes.

“From a cultural standpoint, it is a challenge to change, but we have to get there. (There was a time) when people did things manually, but then we went to the Internet. Some people did not like it at first, but you better be onboard today.

QR codes are the future. They save money and guarantee your comment is going to get in.”

For those unsure of how to scan a QR code, Alley said they have partnered with the Exchange to help ease the transition. Customers can go to the phone service kiosk at the Exchange and staff members will show them how to download a QR code ap, no matter what kind of phone or service provider they may have.

of Health, Education, and Welfare and Dorothy Stratton World War II director of the SPARS (Coast Guard Wom-en’s Reserve), first full-time dean of women at Purdue University, and executive director of the Girl Scouts of the USA.

It often seems that the history of women is written in invisible ink. Even when recognized in their own times, women are frequently left out of the history books. American women of ev-ery race, class, and ethnic background served as early

leaders in the forefront of ev-ery major progressive social change movement. American women were leaders, not only in education but in securing their own rights of suffrage and equal opportunity. In the abolitionist, emancipation, industrial labor, civil rights and peace movements among others, they have helped create a fair and just society for all.

The Bruce C. Clarke Library has thousands of print titles on women’s his-tory, some of which include: “American Heroines: the Spirited Women Who Shaped Our Country” by Kay Bai-

ley Hutchinson; “Founding Mothers: The Women Who Raised Our Nation,” by Cokie Roberts; and “Born for Lib-erty: a History of Women in America,” by Sara Evans.

The four major wars in which American women served after World War II can be split into two pairs. Korea and Vietnam were con-flicts fought in Asian coun-tries divided by the politics of the Cold War. The Persian Gulf War and the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq were fought in the Middle East and grew out of tensions over aggression in that region and, in the latter instance,

the 9/11 attacks. For women, the first two wars signaled fewer advances in their roles in military service, but in the two recent wars, the areas of women’s participation have expanded immensely and there have been recent changes in the definitions of military jobs women are authorized to do.

Women veterans are encouraged to share their experiences in the Library of Congress’s Veteran’s History Project at www.loc.gov/vets/. Participants can be veterans, a Family members, an inter-viewer, or person donating a veteran’s collection.

The Bruce C. Clarke Library has print and digital titles on women in the military, and has a wealth of information in media, e-books, and digital reference materials.

For instance, our electronic book collection has hundreds of titles on the subject of women’s history, and our U.S. History Reference Center has magazine and newspaper articles about women. If you want to search for your female ancestors, we have access to Ancestry Plus and Heritage Quest databases.

civilian employment and education opportunities,” Williams said.

“One of the phases of the Army’s Soldier for Life initiative, Reinte-grate Strong, is all about prepar-ing our service members and their Families for their transition back into civilian life,” Williams said.

She said program leaders are thankful for the employers willing to hire service members, veterans and their spouses, which has resulted in a reduction of the unemployment rate in Missouri.

“Employers commitment to continue hiring veterans and Family members build future ambassadors and strong communities,” Williams said.
