Club and the MWR Pool.
My wife’s father was undergoing chemotherapy
and we were sending all the money we could
spare to pay medical expenses. He contracted
pneumonia and died very suddenly. We
needed to make arrangements to travel to the
Philippines and we needed money for funeral
expenses. Mr. Lionel Grant, Army Emergency
Relief Officer, went out of his way to help us.
He explained the system and evaluated our
financial needs to make sure that we would
not be burdened by the loan payments. He
helped us make contact with people who had
information we needed. He came in early and
stayed after hours to make sure he would be
available when we needed him. He worked
very long hours to make sure we would not
be rushed and miss our flight. He was very
professional and sympathetic throughout the
process. We were and are very grateful for his
timely help in our hour of stress and need.

This comment is in regard to Mr. Mark Mills,
Employment Readiness Program Manager. I am
glad to see he is still making things happen at
Benning. I miss the area very much. If it wasn’t
for him I probably wouldn’t have my career
that I have today. He really gave me my start!!!
- Ice Comment
Very thankful for the 1st Division Staff and their
love and care for our children. Ms. Gretchen
and Ms. Tracy have gone above and beyond
to accommodate my family and we really
appreciate a facility that we can always count
on to meet our needs! Thank you.

Though MWR has eight outdoor recreation areas available to you yearround, warmer weather means more opportunities to enjoy our outdoor
activities and facilities. Among our most popular – the monthly Family Fishing
Nights at Russ Park on Main Post and Family Campouts at Kings Pond.
Kings Pond is billed as a rustic campground, which means you get the
feel of primitive camping without having to dig a latrine. We have indoor
plumbing, a playground and picnic pavilions. The park centers on a 75acre pond, which is off limits for swimming but great for fishing, boating and
watching wildlife. Keep an eye out for gators and snakes and the elusive
red-cockaded woodpecker. Make sure you have a fishing license, a life
vest and a healthy respect for the wildlife.
We host the popular (and free!) Kings Pond Family Campout five times
a year during temperate weather in the spring and fall. This event starts at
noon Saturday and ends Sunday morning. Saturday activities include free
games, fishing, kayaking and more. Bring your own camping equipment,
tents or campers, or rent them at Outdoor Recreation. Campouts are
scheduled for Mar 21, Apr 18, May 16, Sept 19 and Oct 17.
Kings Pond also hosts Glamping (Pretty Primitive Camping), Mar 14-15
for a fun mother and daughter campout. Activities include kayaking, a
scavenger hunt, nail painting, crafts, campfire treats, and much more. The
cost is $20 per person (minimum age 5) that includes dinner on Saturday
and breakfast on Sunday. Space is limited and registration is required.
Russ Park and Kings Pond may be our most popular outdoor facilities, but
you’ll want to head to Weems Pond when you want to be alone with the
other people who want to be alone. You will enjoy fishing and camping
at the Weems primitive dry campsite just south of Harmony Church off
Jamestown Road. Here, you’ll catch bass, brim, catfish and crappie.
Reservations are required. The cost is $10 per night. Call 706-545-7978.
Twilight Pond near Kelley Hill offers a very large pavilion with picnic table
seating space for 120 people and charcoal grills all around the pond. Like
most of our fishing spots, Twilight is off limits for swimming, but perfect for
boating and fishing. Here you find an abundance of bass, bluegill, catfish
and crappie.
You can reserve a picnic pavilion at any of our parks or ponds free, but
you must reserve it to assure its available when you need it. For a complete
list of recreation areas and directions, go to benningmwr.com.
For all your fishing and camping needs, visit Outdoor Recreation on Main
Post, or give them a call at 706-545-7978 to reserve your spot at Family
Fishing Night or the Kings Pond Campout.

Fort Benning’s Auto Skills Center offers a new service to remove the

Replacing your headlights costs more than $300 - why spend that much
money if they work perfectly fine? Unlike those spray applications folks
offer at your local gas station, restoration removes the damage; it
doesn’t cover it up. Your like-new headlights will last for years. Call
706-545-2337.

Lot, commonly called the
Lemon Lot, on Gaudette

The cost is $11 for 30 days.
Remember, have the crew

it. They’ll do it for free!

|history|
The most kids know of St. Patrick ‘s Day is that
you must wear green or you’ll get a pinch from
your friends. Adults see the day as an occasion
to celebrate, sometimes with green beer and
other assorted alcoholic beverages. However,
few really know what they are celebrating or
why the holiday is so important, particularly in
the Americas.
Today, people of all backgrounds celebrate St.
Patrick’s Day, especially throughout the United
States, Canada and Australia. Although North
America is home to the largest productions,
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated in many other
locations far from Ireland, including Japan,
Singapore and Russia.
In modern-day Ireland, St. Patrick’s Day has
traditionally been a religious occasion. In fact,
up until the 1970s, Irish laws mandated that
pubs be closed on March 17. Beginning in
1995, however, the Irish government began a
national campaign to use interest in St. Patrick’s
Day to drive tourism and showcase Ireland
and Irish culture to the rest of the world. Today,
approximately 1 million people annually take
part in Ireland‘s St. Patrick’s Festival in Dublin,
a multi-day celebration featuring parades,
concerts, outdoor theater productions and
fireworks shows.

BETTER OPPORTUNITIES FOR
SINGLE SOLDIERS
Though Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers was founded in
1989 for the benefit of the more than half of all US Soldiers who are
single, these days the program welcomes all Soldiers - all ranks and
ages - as well as authorized MWR patrons, including Civilians. BOSS
members participate in a number of exciting activities, including
trips, and they benefit from various discounts and free passes to
shows and sporting events. Of course, they’re well known in the
community, on post and off, for the many hours they devote to
volunteering.
COMPONENTS OF BOSS
Quality of Life/Well Being: This includes issues that influence
the morale, living environment or growth and development of
Soldiers. Examples include problems in living quarters, parking, PX/
Commissary issues and concerns about utilities, such as telephone
or cable service.
Community Service: Activities are planned with on and off-post
agencies. Many programs ask us to provide volunteer support for
their projects, which have proven to be worthwhile for everyone
involved. Soldiers acknowledge that volunteering makes a
noticeable difference in their lives and the lives of others. All
community service projects provide the opportunity to increase
awareness about the BOSS program while demonstrating the
outstanding character of BOSS Soldiers.
Recreation and Leisure: Ideas for trips and events are planned and
supported by BOSS Soldiers and coordinated through the BOSS
advisor and president. They must receive military and Civilian chain
of command approval. Money raised through BOSS fundraisers
often pays for a portion of expenses associated with the activity.
