FORT BELVOIR, Va. — Fort Belvoir Service Members are finding strength and resilience through a groundbreaking boxing program led by Sgt. 1st Class David Pough.

Patrick Plummer, Fort Belvoir's Contract Management Support Officer, realized the need for deeper knowledge by the Contracting Officer Representatives (CORs) he supervised. So, he coordinated with lnstallation Management Command (IMCOM) Sustainment (ID-S) at Redstone Arsenal to boost contracting literacy.

Not abiding to policy at Fort Belvoir’s Access Control Points increases risk of injury and can impede further driving access on the installation, according to COL Joseph Messina, Garrison Commander. Whether it is an intentional act, or distracted driving, such as looking down at GPS guidance, the result is the same: it poses an immediate threat to the installation and the Soldier or Guard at the gate has to respond in a split second. Denial barrier systems at the gate are activated, preventing access from not only the suspicious driver, but also everyone approaching the gate.

Military commissaries will remain open worldwide for a limited amount of time during a potential federal government shutdown, the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) announced.

If a government shutdown hits October 1, one thing is clear: active-duty troops, whether deployed or at home, should expect to keep going to work every day while missing paychecks, starting with the one on October 13.
But many kinds of routine military business may be put on hold.
