The DOL Transportation Office, located at Bldg 1384 (One Stop), will close May 4, from noon to 1:30 p.m.  Normal operations will resume after that.


On May 5, all FMWR programs will be unable to process credit card payments due to a system upgrade from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. We would like to inform those who will be using FMWR programs on May 5 that all payments will need to be made on a cash basis.


The future opening of a new Child Development Center on Eisenhower Avenue in the vacant Kouma Dining Facility will cause an adjustment to the Eisenhower Avenue closure during morning physical fitness hours. A review of the existing route to identify a better solution was initiated by Interactive Customer Evaluation comments from Soldiers and civilian employees concerning traffic issues. To see the new PT route, effective April 30, visit this website: http://goo.gl/2LdwM External Link, Click “Download the Original size of this photo” at the top of the page, and click the open button in the dialog box that appears. You will then be able to zoom in and out on the map using your computer’s photo viewer.
Although a controlled route for running has been designated, vehicle drivers must remain aware that they could encounter Soldiers marching or running on Fort Knox after the designated hour and on roads other than the controlled route. When this occurs drivers must reduce their speed to 10 mph or less when passing Soldiers.
Things to remember:
* All vehicle traffic must reduce speed to 10 mph or less when passing Soldiers marching or running on Fort Knox roads.
* Units will start to emplace barriers at 6:15 a.m. in order to clear the route of all vehicle traffic prior to 6:30 a.m. and remove the barriers between 7:30-7:45 a.m.
* Soldiers will direct vehicular traffic off the route as they place barriers and assume four manned traffic control points along the route at high risk intersections (see map) to assist i* guiding drivers at designated cross-over points.
* The route will remain closed to vehicle traffic from 6:30-7:30 a.m.
* The route will not close during federal holidays or during Fort Knox installation-wide training holidays.
* Individual runners not running during the prescribed PT hour must run on sidewalks or the shoulder of the road if sidewalks are not present, so as not to impede vehicle traffic. Runners will wear a reflective belt or vest while running on Fort Knox. Headphones and iPods will not be worn while running.
* Unit formations will only run on the controlled route during the designated fitness hour and will not, at any time, run on Bullion Boulevard, Spearhead Division Avenue, Eisenhower Avenue, Dixie Street, Brandenburg Station Road, Main Range Road, Baker Road or Wilson Road.
* Special event runs will occur at times with prior approval of the garrison commander and advance notification and advertisement to the community.
The adjusted route will close the following sections of road between 6:15 and 7:30 a.m.:
1. Old Ironsides Avenue from Eisenhower Avenue to 1st Infantry Division Road (previously Brave Rifles Road).
2. 1st Infantry Division Road from Knox Street, crossing Wilson, to St. Lawrence Street
3. St. Lawrence Street from Potomac to Upton, North Delaware street to Eisenhower Avenue.
4. Eisenhower Avenue at the intersection of Delaware Street to the bottom of Main Range Road.
Soldiers and the civilian workforce will have access to the 1st Infantry Division Road dining facility via the TCP at Hell on Wheels and 1st Infantry Division Road. Jordan Dental Clinic employees and patients can access the clinic via the new rear access road via Wilson Road during the PT hour. Parking at Jordan Dental Clinic is reserved for dental clinic employees and patients only. Parking violators will be subject to ticketing.


The Military Personnel Division- located in bldg 2020-Rockenbach Hall will be processing ROTC Cadets on the dates indicated below.  If ID card services are required, Cadets will have priority at the ID card Facility located in building 1384- White Hall.

SECURITY, SAFETY, AND WELL BEING

Message #12 COPING AFTER A DISASTER:

Traumatic events often cause feelings of helplessness, anxiety and aggression. Know that it will take time before you start to feel better.

* There are many things you can do to cope with traumatic events. Consider  talking to family, friends and clergy for support.
* You may need to consider seeking professional help if you feel sad or depressed for more than two weeks, or if you are not able to take care of
your family or do your job.
* You may need to help your children or other family members cope with their feelings about the disaster.

CHILDRENS NEEDS
After a tornado, children may be afraid the storm will come back again. They may even think the disaster is punishment for something they did. Knowing
what to expect after a tornado will help calm their fears. Here are some suggestions for helping children after a tornado:
* Talk about your own experiences with severe storms or read a book about tornadoes together.
* Encourage your child to express feelings of fear. Listen carefully and show understanding.
* Offer reassurance. Tell your child that the situation is not permanent, and provide physical reassurance by spending time together and displaying
affection.
* Include your child in clean-up activities. It is comforting to children to watch the household begin to return to normal and to have a job to do.

FIRE HYDRANT TESTING

1. The Ft. Knox Fire Department will begin testing 20% of the post fire hydrants during the month of May.

2. During this time frame while the Ft. Knox Fire Department is testing hydrants, it is advisable that everyone run their water until clear when washing clothes, bathing, drinking, as water will tend to be cloudy.

3. The Fort Knox Fire Department would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to the residents and work force of Fort Knox.


Fire Evacuation for People with Special Needs

It is vitally important to make and practice escape plans. In the event of a fire, remember, time is the biggest enemy and every second counts! Involve the assistance of a building manager, family member, or an entrusted friend when practicing your fire escape plan. Know at least two exits from every room, if you use a walker or wheelchair, check all exits to make sure they get through the doorways. Practice opening locked or barred doors and windows. When a fire occurs, do not waste any time saving property. Leave the area immediately. Once out, stay out.

HR Tip of the Week

Army Civilian Record Brief (CRB)

The Department of the Army has developed a Civilian Record Brief (CRB) for all Civilian Appropriated Fund and Non-Appropriated Fund (NAF) employees.  Currently there is no specific Local National version of the Civilian Record brief, but plans are in place for that future capability.

The CRB is a one-page snapshot of an employee's official data pulled from various sources, such as My Biz, Defense Civilian Personnel Data System (DCPDS), and Training Management Systems.  A sample CRB along with the CRB Quick Guide is attached for your convenience.  By putting all of this information on a single, easily viewed document, you will have an uncomplicated method for reviewing your data contained in your My Biz and DCPDS records and taking steps, if necessary, to update or correct the data.

The 10 sections of data reported on the CRB are a concise reflection of your work experience, education, training, awards, professional licenses and certifications, performance ratings, foreign language proficiency, security investigation status, personal and emergency contact information, position description, current and previous assignment history, and other data regarding your federal civilian service. 

You can review and update your CRB through the CPOL Portal by navigating to www.cpol.army.mil click on the Employee tab, then "Go!" in the Employee Data portlet.  The link to the CRB is located in the left pane under Self Service Applications.

Please Note!  We are expecting VERY heavy volumes of traffic to this new tool over the coming weeks as you and all of our thousands of Army colleagues log in and try it out.  Please be patient and if you experience slow response times or an error, we ask that you simply try again a little later in the day. 

Keeping your CRB updated is voluntary on your part, but you are encouraged to review your CRB for accuracy, and update it as necessary following the easy instructions in the attached Quick Guide.  Your supervisor may also view your CRB; however, the CRB does not contain any information that is not already accessible by supervisors.  It is merely an additional resource that places pertinent information on a single page making it more accessible, and reviewable, by you and your supervisor.
Look for our next HR Tip on FASCLASS

On July 5, 2011, the Transit Authority of Kentucky (TACK) began service of a Fare Free Post Shuttle.  The Free Shuttles run Monday thru Friday from 8 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., no weekends or holidays.  This allows our Service Member and workforce who use the mass transit program to move around Fort Knox but the service is available to Service Members, Family Members, civilians, contractor and guest.  The Shuttle is a space available service and Uniformed Service Members do have priority.  While this is a new service, we have started out small but have the capability to grow and encourage feedback from the riders.  If you have any comments, suggestions or concerns contact 624-2307.
