Home sweet home
New program aims to inspire pride among housing residents By Chrystal Smith
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
It may not be home for good, but for thousands of Wiesbaden residents it’s certainly home for now. And because the Army family housing areas serve as places of communion, recreation and relaxation for Soldiers and families,
garrison leaders are making extra efforts to ensure its upkeep by inspiring more pride among the residents. “The housing areas draw a lot of attention from the highest ranking officers in the community on down,” said Sgt. 1st Class Russell Warren, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden housing noncommissioned officer, of the good and bad attention that recent practices by various residents of the five community housing areas have stirred up among leaders.
responUSAG Wiesbaden is respon sible for 1,767 housing units, which houses about 1,460 Soldiers plus their family members. “Stairwell” units usually house nine to 12 families in an average of 12,500 square feet per building; about 860 to 1,500 square feet per family. Given such close accommodations, a neglectful tenant’s residual bad habits can quickly encroach on the neighboring families’ living spaces.

Ready and Resilient Addressing alcohol abuse, building stronger teams By Lt. Gen. Donald M. Campbell Jr. U.S. Army Europe Commander
Over the last few months I have had the opportunity to visit several units within U.S. Army Europe and speak with commanders and leaders, both military and civilian, at every level. I am continually impressed by the world-class Soldiers and civilians we have in our workforce, accomplishing a complex, strategic mission here in Europe every day. That’s why it’s especially difficult for me every morning when I review the Military Police blotter reports from across USAREUR, and whether it is an assault, sexual or otherwise, a DUI or other types of misconduct, many incidents involve alcohol. The correlation is not coincidental. Heavy drinking and overindulgence in alcohol is a challenge that we must address directly and person-
ally as leaders. I want all leaders at every level to talk to your teams about responsible use of alcohol, set conditions that encourage subordinate leader and peer support, and personally engage your Soldiers. I am certain that if we reduce overindulgence in alcohol we will reduce acts of indiscipline which run counter to our Army values and save lives. Abuse of alcohol is all too often an indicator of underlying issues that require vigilance and intervention from leaders at every level in the chain of command. Our most precious asset — our people — deserve nothing but the best care and support. At the first and earliest indicators, take action and get our teammates the resources they need to get back on track. This is a winnable fight;

continue to talk to your Soldiers, civilians and families about the hazards of overindulgence in alcohol and the consequences of that behavior. Establish barracks security protocols and periodically conduct no-notice walk-throughs of common areas. Care about your Soldiers, civilians and family members at all times, including when they are off duty or off-post. Together we can combat these problems that degrade our profession and destroy lives. I hold leaders responsible for instilling the essence of our Army Values and Warrior Ethos into their Soldiers so they are not words on a card, but rather a way of life.

Tabitha Yaffe and her family, who were celebrating with the ACS, have been patrons of the ACS’s services for eight years, and said its variety of offerings has benefited her family greatly — especially during their recent relocation to Wiesbaden. “We made good use of the ACS when we first got here,” she said. “ACS makes you feel comfortable when you arrive here.” Yaffe said she learned of the ACS years ago and has used traditional programs and services such as the lending closet and New Parent Support Program. “They were very helpful,” she said speaking of the center at her previous location, Fort Benning, Ga., and ACS in general. “It’s very much person-to-person. It (doesn’t feel like) the Army structure; it’s low hassle.” She also said that new class offerings have piqued her interest to give back to the community through its various services as a volunteer. “We are now in a position to pass on the knowl-

Special ops aviation officer commands 1-214th By Chrystal Smith
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
Goodbye open skies and special missions around the globe. Hello small cubicle somewhere in the bowels of the Pentagon. That is the new scenery Lt. Col Edwin Brouse’s looked ahead to as he said farewell and relinquished command of the 1st Battalion, 214th Aviation Regiment, to Lt. Col. Mark Kappelman during a change of command ceremony July 30 at the airfield on Clay Kaserne in Wiesbaden. Along with the passing of the command colors, Brouse passed the responsibility of 650 personnel, 49 aircraft — UH60s, C12s/UC35 belonging to VIP general support aviation battalions located in Belgium, Heidelberg, Grafenwöhr, Hohenfels, Landstuhl, Stuttgart and Wiesbaden — to the welldecorated and travelled aviation officer. Kappelman served in five deployments and other places around the world. “You’re the absolute right command team to take this unit to the top,” said Brouse to the incoming commander and his wife Kelly.
During Brouse’s command the unit received a number of honors. Awards and recognitions include the 2011 and 2013 Army Award for Maintenance Excellence, Culinary Warrior of the Year, Petroleum Excellence Award, Dustoff Association Rescue and Crew Chief of the Year. The unit also completed missions in austere and disparate locations around the globe. A few of note include the assumption of the Central Region Medevac mission during Operation Enduring Freedom, numerous deployments to Kuwait, a humanitarian mission to Montenegro where it provided key life support in terms of food, medical aid and rescue.

Kappelman commanded the Special Operations Aviation Training Battalion before being selected to command the 1-214th. He returns to Germany having been assigned earlier in his career at Giebelstadt Army Airfield. “We are happy to be in Germany again and look forward to working with our friends and allies in this new setting,” Kappelman said.

STEM Camp: Developing next-generation engineers Story and photos by Chrystal Smith
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
Getting up early during the summer break is a drag for some students. But the “STEMulation” offered at one Department of Defense Dependents Schools summer camp had students leaping out of bed — eager to see what the day had in store. The RoboWarriors Robotics club hosted STEM Camp Aug. 5-9 for sixth- through ninth-graders to spread the good news of engineering. The third iteration of the camp, tied into Department of Defense Education Activity’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Math initiative, was a handson workshop that hosted 70 campers and was focused on engineering. “We are reaching into the middle school to stimulate their school’s STEM program,” said Frank Pendzich, Wiesbaden High School instructor of engineering and technology. Every morning began with a teambuilding project that encouraged the students to work together to solve various problems. Pendzich said he wanted to expose the youths to the 10-step method of problem-solving in hopes of triggering creativeness. “Children are often taught to copy ideas. When you hear words and phrases like ‘I’m confused,’ ‘I don’t know what to do,’ ‘I don’t understand,’ it implies that one is in a copy mode and doesn’t really know how to tap into their creativity,” said Pendzich, adding that in industry it’s

For your health
Regular checkups key to good men’s health James W. Cartwright U.S. Army Public Health Command
If you are a male, you have most likely seen a doctor out of necessity. But when confronted with specific questions about men’s health you may have some hesitation. In searching the wisdom of the Internet on men’s health, it turns out that men are pretty special when it comes to taking health risks. In fact, men are more likely than women to smoke and drink, make unhealthy or risky choices, and put off regular checkups or seek medical care. Overall, evidence indicates that men ought to pay more attention to their health and well-being. Because most men understand things relating to cars, an analogy may help to put things into perspective. Statements like, “Your car gets routine
checkups, so should you,” and references to “Men’s Health Tuneup Schedule” might be helpful, but the fact is many men neglect their car’s maintenance. Delaying regular tuneups of your vehicle, putting off checkups, and waiting for the oil light to come on to get the oil changed is standard behavior. Bald tires are not replaced until your wife or sister notices and obsesses about your safety. But what are the real reasons that men do not seek medical care? WebMD cited a number of possible reasons men avoid medical care. Among those reasons are “stoicism, high cost, busy schedules, challenges of getting an appointment or the embarrassing possibility of the digital rectal exam.” To the relief of many men, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force rejected the idea that the standard annual physi-
cal exam is an effective tool for improving the health of patients. They suggest that exams needed to be tailored to the age, health risks and preferences of the patient. If you are a man, you might like this, but do not be surprised if your wife likes the car analogy better. So what should men do to maintain good health? It turns out that it’s really quite simple. Most experts agree that men should: g Not smoke g Be physically active g Know your body g Eat a healthy diet g Maintain a healthy weight g Manage stress levels
Frankfurt–Paris in less than 4 hours. From 39 Euros. By high speed trains ICE or TGV.
g Sleep well g Only drink alcohol in moderation. Note that these measures also enhance mental and spiritual wellness, which is important since m e n h a v e higher suicide rates t h a n women. In addition, it is important to partner with your physician to choose a preventive healthcare program suited to your special needs. Many of the major health risks that men face, such as colon cancer or heart disease, can be prevented. They also are easier to treat when found early. To ensure your body continues to be fit and ready, eat healthfully, sleep well, be physically active and follow a preventive maintenance schedule such as: R Regular blood pressure screenings. R Cholesterol screenings for all men 35 and up, or 20 and
up if there are other risk factors. R Colorectal cancer screening age 50 and up. R Tetanus booster every 10 years for men over 50. R Flu shots every year for men over 50. R Prostate cancer screenings based on individual factors. R Diabetes screenings for adults who have high blood pressure or high cholesterol. R Monthly self exam for irregular moles with annual visit to a dermatologist for complete exam. R The American Cancer Society recommends annual cancer screenings with a testicular exam. Just as one would educate oneself when it’s time to take care of the car, the same should be done when inquiring about personal health.

Matt Damon (right) plays Max in the action/adventure drama “Elysium.” The movie is set in 2154, where he fights to bring equality to two polarized worlds.
Elysium (PG-13) — In the year 2154 two classes of people exist — the very wealthy who live on pristine man-middle space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes, a hard-line government official, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn’t stop the people of Earth trying to get in by any means they can. When unlucky Max is backed into a corner, he agrees to take one daunting mission that if successful will not only save his life, but could bring equality to their polarized worlds. Stars Matt Damon and Jodie Foster. Planes (PG) — The all-new story offers an exciting cast of characters and centers on Dusty’s high-flying dream. But Dusty’s not exactly built for racing, so he turns to a seasoned naval aviator who helps Dusty qualify to take on the defending champ of the race circuit. Dusty’s courage is put to the ultimate test as he aims to reach heights he never dreamed possible, giving a spellbound world the inspiration to soar. Stars the voices of Val Kilmer, Priyanka Chopra, Anthony Edwards, Teri Hatcher and Julia Louis- Dreyfus. We’re The Millers (R) — David Burke is a small-time pot dealer whose clientele includes chefs and soccer moms, but no children — after all, he has his scruples. So what could go wrong? Plenty. Preferring to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio of gutter punks. Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad. Stars Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts, Jason Sudeikis and Ed Helms. Kick-Ass 2 (R) — Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irrelevant Kick-Ass. After KickAss’ insane bravery inspire a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes, our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist, reborn with a new name, only the blade-wielding Hit Girl can prevent their annihilation. Stars Jim Carey, Chloe Moretz and Aaron TaylorJohnson. Jobs (PG-13) — “Jobs” details the major moments and defining characters that influenced Steve Jobs on a daily basis from 1971 through 2000. Jobs plunges into the depths of his character, creating an intense dialogue-driven story that is as much a sweeping epic as it is an immensely personal portrait of Steve Jobs’ life. Stars Ashton Kutcher, Amanda Crew, Lukas Haas and James Woods.
