Teachers and the principal were outside to welcome parents and children, as well as direct them to their child s room. Every new school year is exciting Fort Jackson students head back to class Photo by ROBERT TIMMONS Staff Sgt. Marvin Carey, with Delta Company, 1st Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment, says goodbye to his children, Marvin and Jade, and gives a word of advice before the first day of school at C.C. Pinckney. By ROBERT TIMMONS and MARK MANICONE Fort Jackson Leader School is back in session. Students and their parents lined up outside the two elementary schools on Fort Jackson waiting to enter and meet their new teachers Tuesday. It s always an amazing feeling, said Staff Sgt. Marvin Carey, from Delta Company, 1st Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment after he dropped off his twin third graders Marvin and Jade at C.C. Pinckney Elementary School. His children are always excited and nervous about the new school year, but he told them to have fun and meet new kids. Less than a mile away at Pierce Terrace Elementary School, Principal Raymond Burk was looking forward to the school year as well. Every new school year is exciting, and we aim constantly to raise the bar by learning, teaching and supporting all students, Burk said. Our faculty is truly focused on the students, and that focus makes a difference, Burk said. The Among the changes at Pierce Terrace that helps students is a new faculty member. We have a new full-time counselor now, which is very exciting, Burk said. She helps support the social and emotional foundations on top of the academic standard. They used to share counselors with C.C. Pinckney, who would only be available for two days, and if there was an emergency or pressing issue at the other school that counselor would leave. The schools are aiming to increase students knowledge and creative skills. We are helping support those 21st century skills and creativity, that s our goal, Burk said. At C.C. Pinckney, educators are looking to make the year more successful than the past, its principal said. The outlook for the new school year is for C.C. Pinckney as a school unit to raise the bar, Dr. Theresa Harvey said. We will be working together collaboratively to support all students and to ensure that all of our students learn and are successful this school year. FOR MORE PHOTOS see page 23
4 How World War I helped give U.S. women the right to vote By DR. KAYLEEN HUGHES Army News Service More than one hundred years ago, on April 6, 1917, Congress voted to declare war on Germany and the nations allied with it. The most momentous event to confront the new century, the World War I was fought mainly in Europe between August 1914 and November The U.S. government did sumption of unlimited German submarine attacks on American shipping in the spring of The entry of the United States into the the longstanding national campaign to win women s right to vote. Many feminists shelved their activism between 1917 and 1919 to support various relief and war in dustry efforts. The scope of women s service to the na tion during World War I foreshadowed their involvement in World War II. For example, they served overseas as nurses, humanitarian relief workers, physicians, telephone opera tors, linguists, ambulance drivers, entertain ers and Soldier support workers of all sorts. American women also participated in a wide variety of homefront activities such as munitions production and other defense in usually handled by men, including raising funds through liberty loan drives and lead ing the effort to produce and conserve food needed by Soldiers overseas. The mainstream suffragists decision to focus on the nation s needs during this time of crisis proved to help their cause. Their ac tivities in support of the war helped convince many Americans, including President Wood row Wilson, that all of the country s female citizens deserved the right to vote. The political cartoon featured in this ar ticle, by William C. Morris for The Brook lyn Magazine, published on Nov. 10, 1917, makes a clear connection between American women s wartime service and woman s suf frage.

First impressions Civilians and veterans get the full Army treatment By MARK MANICONE Fort Jackson Leader Get off my bus! It is a phrase Soldiers in Training know all too well after they arrive at the 120th Adjutant General Battalion and are welcomed enthusiastically to Fort Jackson. Except this time instead of frightened SITs storming off the white buses, it was some 40 shell-shocked civilians. They were a part of Fort Jackson s Come Meet Your Army tour, a community outreach program which aims to give civilians, and some veterans, a taste of what Fort Jackson does for the Army and the surrounding community. Cunningham, a 16-year-old considering joining the military. I get to learn a lot of general things about the Army. But these civilians and veterans weren t expecting quite the reception that the drill sergeants enthusiastically gave them. After failing to depart the bus in allotted 20 seconds, these tourists found themselves put in the front leaning rest position and pushing down the fort. After the proper Army welcome had been given, the tour moved into the battalion s Carolina Room where Col. Mark Shade, Fort Jackson deputy commander, gave them a briefing on the history and mission of Fort Jackson. See VETERANS: Page 15 Sgt. 1st Class Cruz Rodriguez, a drill sergeant with 3rd Battalion, 34th Infantry Regiment, explains to guests how Soldiers in Training complete obstacles on the confidence course.
7 LIVING c Photos by WALLACE McBRIDE The new school year at Fort Jackson began Tuesday morning, but the post s Youth Sports department got things started a little early with a color run Saturday. Runners of all ages began to line up at 9 a.m. at the Youth Sports Complex, where they darted through clouds of colored chalk dust as they made their way around the course. Afterward, children enjoyed a variety of activities set up at the location, including an obstacle course, a bounce house and kick ball games.
8 Post celebrates women s equality By MARK MANICONE Fort Jackson Leader Fort Jackson Dental Activity hosted the annual Women s Equality Day luncheon Aug. 18 in commemoration of the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. The luncheon highlighted the 93rd anniversary of women s right to vote and recognized other accomplishments of and by women. It s mostly recognition, and celebration, of our right to vote, and it shows how far we ve come said Sgt. Samantha Escamilla. I mean, we ve just had a female run for president. Representatives from all units on post were present, as well as distinguished guests and members of the post command structure. The highlight of the equality day luncheon was guest speaker Mary King from a local television station. When I was asked to speak at the Women s Day Luncheon, I was thinking, Well, where do I start? she said. And that s because women have always had an impact on the lives of others, she said. Women have been around just as long as men have, and have been able to contribute multiple ideas, inventions and accomplishments. Women have been credited with the patents for inventions we use daily such as the windshield wiper, the circular saw and the dishwasher. Rosa Parks, helped advance the civil rights movement, so that not only women but also people of color would be recognized as equals. As I started researching Women s Equality Day, I realized that a lot of women did amazing things before they even had the right to vote, King said. A lot of women have paved the way to get where we are now. One experience in particular resonated with King while she was in the infancy of her career: A woman came up to me, and she was in her we didn t get to do the talking but we paved the way so that you could, King said. It was just a humbling moment. Those women that progressed, despite the limitations of their times, paved the way for American women to set the bar as high as it is today. Women can now serve their country in the military, some can even deploy in combat arms jobs. Fort Jackson trains 60 percent of the Army s women Soldiers today. Women have always been an integral part of this country, and they continue to push the envelope with each accomplishment. It has certainly made me say, thank you, King said. I ll never get to meet these women, but I get to do what I love because of them. Photo by MARK MANICONE Sgt.

Everything from PTs to nameplates were up for grabs. Turnout remains high for reclamation sale By MARK MANICONE Fort Jackson Leader Sitting in a warehouse with little to no ventilation in the South Carolina summer, surrounded by a crowd doesn t exactly sound like anyone s cup of tea. But for many Soldiers and their Families, the hot discounts were certainly worth the heat at the AAFES Reclamation Sale. It s a good opportunity to stockpile gear without killing your bank account, said Staff Sgt. Richie Richardson. I can get about 10 uniforms for about half the price of new ones. Every gear item imaginable lay in huge storage bins, which lined the Soldiers crowding bins, that one sergeant started calling out sizes of uniforms and tossing them to Soldiers who responded. - turned in gear, but that task has now shifted the Exchange services. Sharon Morrison, Exchange store manager. Soldiers got most items at a 75 percent discount, which is why, despite the muggy weather, the turnout remained high. In the beginning there weren t as many Soldiers as there was with the about getting all the gear to the people that can use it, and do that in a way that will help out Soldiers bank accounts. this stuff at a 75 percent discount, so there s not much money to make. The AAFES Reclamation Sale had their warehouse full of used gear and sweaty Soldiers. The temperature was so hot in the warehouse, that stepping outside felt like air conditioning.

Even though his view was dampened Skerrit remained positive. The weather is what the weather is, he said. I mean, Mother Nature is going to throw things at us and we have to adapt and overcome. The parachutists had a special view of the eclipse, thousands of feet in the air, but they had a show to put on. It was really cool, I mean we are touring and we want to see it, but at the same time you want to put on a good show, said the Golden Knight s Master Sgt. Jen Davidson. It was a really awesome opportunity. Even though they had a sky view of the eclipse the parachutists passed around a pair of glasses. When we were circling around one of the guys had a pair of glasses so when the plane banked the right way we could see it, she added. It was really cool to see it while we were circling above. While some across the Midlands experienced total darkness for over two minutes, Hilton Field only got as dark as late evening due to the cloud cover. To see it go to darkness and come back was, like, wow! said Dale Austin, one of Fort Jackson s safety from behind the clouds the moon still partially blocking it. Elsewhere on Fort Jackson Soldiers and drill sergeants of Bravo Company, 4th Battalion, 39th Infantry Regiment paused for a moment to prepare for and watch the eclipse, but cloud cover and rain hid the eclipse from sight.

Mark Shade, Fort Jackson deputy commander, gives a briefing on Fort Jackson s history and evolving mission, to people with the Come Meet Your Army tour. Shade explained all aspects of the process it takes to make civilians into Soldiers. Tour Continued from Page 6 Our mission here is to take civilians and make them into Soldiers, Shade said. We break you back down, so we can build you back up. Shade also provided details on how they train the soldiers and the change in training methods compared to ered entry salaries for those who the Army spends on each soldier for the duration of BCT. What got me was just the amount of things they have to go through, said Joseph Piermarini who was on the tour with his grandfather. The amount of small details they pay attention to, shows the amount of care they put into each Soldier. At the conclusion of the briefing, the tour moved to watch the 1st Battalion, 34th Infantry Regiment graduate. The battalion had all six companies graduate this cycle, and the tour got the It gives them a little flavor of the heat, and our training.

You got to have a little patriotism to see how we build our Soldiers. After seeing some motivational speaking of the drill sergeants to the privates, the tour s next phase was a visit to the Basic Combat Training museum. Here guests got to see the evolution of the Army s basic combat training routines and lifestyle over the years, and how Fort Jackson has adapted to those changing times and mission standards. Putting a drill sergeant from BCT in charge helps people see how BCT is, Rodriguez said. It helps to build that community repertoire, that community relationship, with Fort Jackson.
