As you travel around Europe, you are likely to see some increases in host nation security efforts, as well as in U.S. Army Europe’s garrison security posture. U.S. Army Europe’s Antiterrorism Division would like to remind everyone that the command’s common goal is to ensure it is postured to counter the threat of terrorism and provide a safe and secure environment for everyone. You may see additional security guards, Soldiers and military police in and around U.S. Army Europe installations, more frequent and thorough security checks and inspections, and other random security activities. It is the collective efforts of security professionals, Soldiers, civilian workers and family members who help keep everyone safe. Given the significant and persistent threat the world faces, one way to execute

News and features Newborn passports
Ask the
Anonymous said: I inquired with the passport office to have a passport issued to our newborn baby. The earliest available appointment is 49 days out. This is unacceptable. I contacted the passport offices in other garrisons in Germany and can have an appointment made in Stuttgart tomorrow or Baumholder on Monday. While traveling to another garrison is an alternative, it is not convenient to take off time off work and travel two hours out of my way to submit the appropriate paperwork. In addition, I would have to return to that office to pick up the passport once it arrives. How can I get this application processed sooner? Why is it that there is such a delay in this process here in Wiesbaden? What is being done to reduce the turnaround time?
Response: We’re working on an appointment basis to be able to accommodate our customers. We hired new employees for the passport section, but unfortunately they are not allowed to process passports until they complete the Passport Agent Certification by the Department of State. All passport agents must have a secret clearance before they can be certified. In the meantime, we will have a Passport Outreach on October 5 from9 a.m. to 2 p.m.. There you will have the opportunity to process the request for your newborn Birth Certificate and Passport.
Crosswalks on Hainerberg
Anonymous said: I strong-
Garrison ly recommend an assessment be conducted on the lack of available crosswalks in the vicinity of Hainerberg Elementary/Middle Schools. The recent construction and potential change in bus/car traffic add additional risk to children crossing Virginiastrasse in the Hainerberg housing area. Virginiastrasse currently has zero cross walks. These factors increase the risk to children crossing this street before and after school, when traffic flow is at its highest. Thank you for your attention with this matter.
Response: Officials from the Directorate of Emergency Services, Directorate of Public Works, Anti-terrorism/Force protection, Safety and school administrators met on site to discuss back–to-school traffic, signage and crosswalks on Aug. 16th. This is the result of our meeting and initiatives that will be put in place prior to school starting.
Euros to dollars conversion
Anonymous said: My experience at the Deutsche Kantine is always a good one in terms of service and food quality. I am concerned, however, about the price exchange from Euro to dollars. It seems that they do not follow the daily exchange rate...ever. My
coworker paid for our meals on a day that the exchange rate should have been 1.00 euro = $1.12 U.S. dollars. The conversion for those meals on that day was actually 1.00 Euro = $1. 48 US dollars. On another occasion I purchased two drinks for the total cost of 4.00 Euro. Because I only had U.S. currency, the price of the drinks was $5.36 when it should have been about 4.48 Euro according to the conversion rate for that day. What I want to know is whether they have a set conversion that they use regardless of that day’s currency conversion rate. When I asked the woman working the register why it was always that high, she stated it was the bank’s fault, and they had no control over it. What did she mean by this?
Feedback:
Response: We have coordinated with the Kantine contractor and found that, although they use Community Bank’s exchange rate, there was an error at the register. The Kantine co-owner admits to providing you inaccurate information in the haste of busy operations that day; she now understands the error, and both operators will strive to ensure this does not happen in the future. ----------------------------------Editor’s note: In some cases, questions and answers have been summarized to address multiple concerns about a similar issue.

USAG PAO departs after 15 years By Anemone Rueger USAG Wiesbaden PAO
Precisely 70 years ago a young German prisoner of war got on a boat in New York and sailed homeward with one of the last groups that were released from Camp Farragut, Idaho. He had served on the cruel Eastern Front in Russia and received the German Iron Cross for delivering food to his dying comrades under Rueger fire in the pocket of Welikie Luki, the ‘little Stalingrad’, in the winter of 1942. When the opportunity arose some time later in Northern Italy, he ran. He ended up on the cotton plantations of Arizona and the beet root fields of Idaho and Montana. His eyes would light up whenever he spoke of “the Amis” later in life. When Brig. Gen. Klink of the Landeskommando Hesse pinned the Bundeswehr’s silver Cross of Honor on that POW’s granddaughter – me – last week, I was completely taken by surprise. My first thought was: this looks just like grandpa’s Iron Cross! But how undeserving I felt. I’ve had it easy, relatively speaking; never had to make the decisions that generation had to make; never had a gun put into my hands under a ruthless regime that
changed the face of Europe forever. I got to experience the good part – seeing my country come back together, after spending my childhood on the wrong side of the German-German border and longing for freedom that seemed unattainable; serving Holocaust survivors in Israel and Ukraine as an ambassador of the people whose prayers I stand on and who made it through 40 years of communism in my part of the world; then landing a job with the very “Amis” grandpa appreciated so much. People made me feel part of the team from day 1 back in Hanau’s 104th ASG, some 15 years ago, took me to lunch on day 2 without asking about my title, and let me interpret, which is what I had trained for, and even thanked me for it! I’ve received more opportunities to grow than I could have dreamed of. How memorable was the 10-week public affairs class in Ft. Meade, Maryland, and the experience of American team spirit as we worked through our assignments, between visits to the Shenandoah Valley and the Naval Academy in Annapolis. Four years later I got the opportunity to build up a team myself. Wiesbaden was calling. Networking days, media interviews, days bent over strategic paperwork to develop our PAO vision… Going from

Driveway repairs set for Aukamm community Story and photo by Amy L. Bugala

A facility improvement project is scheduled to begin in the Aukamm Community to make it easier and safer for residents with two vehicles to enter and exit their driveways. The project will repair and widen the entrance to a majority of the driveways in Aukamm to allow two vehicles side-by-side access to the street.

The work involves replacing grassy areas with gravel, cutting and laying paving stones to match the existing driveways, and modifying the curbstones which required approval from the City of Wiesbaden.

During construction, residents will be unable to use their driveways and are asked to park their vehicles on the street or in available parking at Bldg. 7215. Construction will take place between the hours of approximately 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday and may result in a temporary increase in noise and dust. A total of 96 driveways along Rheinland, Hamburg, Wuerttemberg and Bremen Strasses are included in the overall plan and will be scheduled for work as funding becomes available.

News flash Hainerberg Traffic Update
A new road segment along Virginiaweg is now open to all one-way traffic travelling from Texasstrasse to Arizonastrasse (in the direction of the Exchange to the Commissary) to facilitate the flow of traffic around Hainerberg. A portion of Texasstrasse near the chapel now facilitates two-way traffic to provide vehicle access to facilities on Mississippistrasse. The section of Texasstrasse that passes in front of the elementary and middle schools is still one-way traffic in the direction of the Exchange. Access to the Self-Help Home Improvement Store or S.H.I.P. is still possible.
Clay traffic update
Heerstrasse and King Streets are closed now through Sept. 16 due to construction. During this phase of road construction, drivers can reach the Clay Shoppette using Wheaton Avenue (road in front of Health Clinic); however, drivers will exit the Shoppette area via Orms Avenue and navigate to their destination using the outer ring road. To access services in building 1201 on King Street (Army Wellness Center, Soldier Medical Readiness Center, Red Cross, Army Public Health Nursing and the SHARP program office) drivers can travel down Wheaton Avenue and use the Orms Avenue detour. Upcoming road closures at the same intersection include: ● Sept. 19 to Oct. 16, Lucas Street will be closed. ● Oct. 24 to 28, the entire intersection will be closed for final paving. (Heerstrasse, King St., Lucas Ave. and Wheaton Ave.) ● Oct. 31, a portion of Wheaton Avenue directly in front of the Health Clinic will be closed to through traffic.

Find out what to expect and what you can do to help make the process smoother Story and photo by Amy L. Bugala
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs
Is your refrigerator running…? Most people know the punchline to the joke, but for customers dealing with a broken or failed appliance the inconvenience isn’t funny. Appliance repair is no joke to Mike Trail, chief of the Wiesbaden Furnishings Management Office located at the McCully Support Center in Wackernheim. The FMO manages the issuance, delivery, maintenance and repair of more than 17,500 appliances installed in government and off-post housing throughout Wiesbaden and an inventory of more than 36,000 pieces of temporary household furniture. Trail wants to help customers understand what to expect should an appliance break down and need to be repaired or replaced. “Currently the most efficient way to report a broken or failed appliance is to call civ (0611) 143-548-4424,” said Trail. The service desk takes calls from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and coordinates 20 appliance repair technician home visits per day along with initial delivery. The FMO offers 10 service appointments from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and 10 appointments between noon to 4:30 p.m. “Customers should plan to be home during the entire block of time to receive service,” Trail said. The service desk is manned by up to three people; however callers are advised that they are currently short staffed, so the line may always seem busy. “We are aware many customers receive a busy signal when calling in an appliance repair. We ask for community patience as we work to implement systematic improvements to manage the high volume of calls,” said Eddie Johnson, director, DPW. Customers can also report a broken appliance via email at usarmy. wiesbaden.imcom-europe.list.dpwcustomer-rep@mail.mil; however, calling the repair in is still the most efficient method as no follow-on coordination is required said Trail.

Pictured are (left to right) Sandra Ruffin, Mike Trail, Thomas Troschin, Dirk Fuhr and Sabine Reitz. (Team members not present Frank Suckert and Bruno Hoehl). When reporting a broken appliance by phone or email customers must have the U.S. Property Sticker information located on the appliance available to help the service desk representative identify the equipment. (see image, right) 1. MLFB No. 2. Inventory No. 3. Installation year 4. Newer models may have a label with a barcode; the required number is printed underneath (ex. 0000012345-SAFWIES). Customers should also be prepared to provide a detailed description of the problem; i.e. “the water doesn’t drain from my washer, the refrigerator is not staying cold, the broiler in my oven does not work,” etc. Once reported a repair technician will service the appliance at the residence within one to two days. “Unfortunately a broken appliance is an inconvenience, not an emergency,” said Trail so it is rare to have same day service to assess or replace an appliance. Additionally, he says the age of an appliance is not a reason for replacement. Trail says non-functioning refrigerators and ranges may be replaced same day if notified prior to noon. FMO manages an inventory of a variety of brand name appliances with the goal to repair before replacing. “We acknowledge that over the course of the last year customers experienced a delay in receiving replacement washers and dryers. There was a contractual issue that temporarily reduced inventory. The
The information on the Property of U.S. Government, label located on appliances, is required when calling the service desk. issue is now resolved,” said Johnson. “It is still possible a broken 2012 appliance could be replaced with an older model,” Trail said. “You get the best of us every day, and the best of what we have every day, but every day is different.” Eighty-percent of Wiesbaden’s appliances are repaired by the technicians; however, Trail recommends customers conduct periodic maintenance according to their appliance manual to avoid ever having to make the call. Some routine maintenance includes cleaning dryer lint traps regularly, using the correct laundry detergent and amount, not overloading clothes washers, adding special salt to dishwashers, and routinely running an empty load through the washing machine. “We have pdfs of appliance manuals available, many in English, if you have lost or misplaced yours, just call,” he said.

As Antiterrorism (AT) Awareness Month winds to a close, it’s important to remember that vigilance is required year-round to protect ourselves from the global threat of terrorism. “The awareness month program presented an opportunity to highlight the seriousness of this important topic given today’s threat environment,” said HQ IMCOM Protection Branch Chief Dale Roth. “But it is always important to take extraordinary action to increase awareness across our Army communities worldwide, all year long.” “The only way to prevent, protect, mitigate, respond and recover collectively and as individuals when faced with a hostile situation is to know what to watch for, and how to respond,” Roth explained. “Our personnel must remain mindful of the potential circumstances that could develop,” Roth said, “placing them as a target of opportunity or consequential victim of a terrorist attack.” Multiple attacks over the past year in both our homeland and abroad have resulted in increased force protection ac-

tions on our installations, but there still remains a need to remain vigilant and maintain an ever increasing awareness of activities around us. Threats may range from local criminal activity and insider threat actions to violent terrorists and radicalized active shooters to breaches in our security through the use of unmanned aerial systems or cyber-attacks. As these threats continue, so must our vigilance, to include maintaining a keen awareness and understanding of actions to take when observing and responding to these activities. As individuals and units, we must synchronize awareness efforts to avoid circumstances that could increase risk of becoming a target. For example, become current on all required antiterrorism and active shooter training, rehearse individual and collective response options, maintain high vigilance and awareness, and know when
and how to report any suspicious activity. “It is imperative that not only leaders but all Army personnel participate in AT Awareness activities yearround,” Roth said. “We must be consistent in reinforcing the importance of protecting our Army communities against this ever-evolving and persistent terrorist threat.” Roth encourages family members, dependents and nonCAC card holders to take the “Level I Antiterrorism Class” available at Joint Knowledge Online, or JKO at http://jko. jten.mil. From the homepage click “Enter JKO.” At the bottom of the page there is an option for Non-CAC card holders under the title “JSUS007: Level I Antiterrorism Awareness Training.” After completing the training, Roth encourages parents to discuss what they’ve learned with children in an age-appropriate manner. “Keeping us safe is everyone’s responsibility,” he said. “Year round.”

A normal BP would be a systolic range as 100-120; the diastolic range 60-80. One doctor gave me multiple prescriptions for quinine. He said, “When it gets over 200 take this, and wait 15 minutes for it to work. It should bring the pressure down.” Hypertension is known as, “the Silent Killer,” it has no warnings, and you feel fine. This February I began training with Rey Drummond. Rey’s workouts were totally different. I was doing boot camp stuff…OMG! Since working with Rey, I now own five sweat bands. He has me lifting weights, twisting my body, speed walking, pull-ups, and pushups. I was panting, sweating, sore and aching from using my body for the first time in years. I am a 60 plus-yearold software engineer, which means I sit most of my day. As a black female with high

Voting assistance officers stand ready to help By C. Todd Lopez Army News Service
This being an election year, Soldiers, along with every other American, will have a crucial choice to make come Nov. 8: “Do I vote, or do I not?” The Army doesn’t require Soldiers to vote in the presidential election. But the Army is making sure that for those Soldiers who want to take advantage of the freedom they signed up to defend, they can cast a vote from wherever they are in the world. Rachel Gilman, who manages the Army Voting Assistance Program, oversees the more than 3,000 voting assistance officers Army-wide who are out on the front lines providing Soldiers the tools and information they need to get registered to vote, and to get a
ballot for the upcoming election delivered into their hands. “Our program really focuses on awareness, assistance, providing education, and really training voters about where to go and what information they need,” Gilman said. “Voting is a very personal choice. If they decide to vote, we are there to help and assist them. We don’t force people to vote. If somebody wants to make changes on issues that are important in their hometowns and communities, that’s what we are there to provide assistance about.” Soldiers who want to vote in November should act now, Gilman said. The way to do that is to seek out a unit voting assistance officer, whether stateside, forward-stationed overseas, or deployed, and then fill out a Federal Post Card Application. “The FPCA ... that’s your form, your go-to form,” for voting, Gilman said. The FPCA, also known as GSA Standard Form 76, starts

the process of getting a Soldier registered to vote in their correct voting district. It also lets the election officials from their voting district know where to send their ballot. The FPCA is not just for Solders, but for any voter who needs to cast a ballot when they are away from where they would normally vote. To get the FPCA, Soldiers can download it from the Federal Voting Assistance Program website at FVAP.gov, or visit a voting assistance officer wherever they are stationed. The voting assistance officer can also help Soldiers determine what state, and what location within that state, is their official voting district. That information is required on the FPCA. Soldiers can also use the FVAP website to make that determination. “There is a great voting wizard there that can help them,” Gilman said. Soldiers who are interested in voting this November can

look on the FVAP.gov website to determine deadlines for when they can register in their state, when they should request a ballot, and when they have to mail that ballot back to their voting official. Every state has different requirements, Gilman said, but kicking off the process now is better than waiting. “It’s really important, especially for overseas voters and those Soldiers who are deployed. Once they receive their ballot, it’s really important that they immediately fill it out and send it back due to the mailing time,” she said. The Army won’t make Soldiers vote, or even register to vote, Gilman said. But she thinks it’s important that they do so — preserving the right to vote, she said, is one of the reasons that Soldiers serve in the first place. “I think it’s really important for Soldiers to vote, because it’s a freedom they defend,” Gilman said. “I think it’s an opportunity
to have their voices heard. It’s important for them if they want to change issues in their communities, their home towns, for their families. I think it’s very important that they have their voices heard.” According to a 2014 Federal Voting Assistance Program report to Congress, in 2014, 69 percent of the active-duty Army was registered to vote, compared with 65 percent of the civilian population. When it comes to actually voting, about 20 percent of active-duty Soldiers voted in the 2014 election, while 42 percent of the general population voted.

Ingo Sauer, with the German Federal Forestry Service, demonstrates safe chainsaw maintenance at the DPW Safety Stand-down Aug. 26. about safety not just in their particular job, but in a more well-rounded sense as well, since all employees will get a chance to see demonstrations in a variety of fields. “We’re trying to bring the subject of safety to the surface,” he said. “If you feel confident in your environment and in control of your environment, accidents usually don’t occur.” Mara Hupfeld, a gardener with DPW, said she learned some things at the event that could help her stay safe on the job. One trick she learned for putting in protective ear plugs is to tug on her earlobe so that they get inserted properly. “Someone could be working in the field 10, 20 years and learn something here that may be useful,” she said. Hupfeld also was surprised to know how much pressure is being put on her body when jumping from a vehicle — something many workers do regularly. A spe-
cial pad showed that a person of 60 kilos can put a half ton of force on their body when jumping, which demonstrated just how much wear and tear a person’s knees, for example, might withstand if the activity is done repeatedly over time. “We’re trying to raise awareness as we go through our job hazard safety analysis,” said Eddie Johnson, director, DPW. Many garrison and German agencies made the event possible, said Christine Mbakeh, chief operations and maintenance safety coordinator with DPW. They provided giveaways, demonstrations, vision and hearing tests as well as their expertise. The Directorate of Emergency Services, Safety, the Occupational Health Nurse and the American Red Cross contributed to the event, as well as the German Federal Forestry service, the Polizei and several other host nation agencies.

Fielding new equipment with advanced technology enhances the ability to detect dangerous materials and improves the quality of searches at access control points and security checkpoints. Some of these technologies are now available at Army Europe installations. U.S. Army Europe is employing new equipment with advanced detection capability at installations throughout the region according to a force protection specialist in U.S. Army Europe’s Antiterrorism Division. Coupled with expanded measures designed to reduce the terrorist threat, U.S. Army Europe’s security professionals are working closely with host nation partners to maintain a robust deterrence and response capability, the force protection specialist explained. “As we implement these new technologies, visitors to installations may experience
delays or other inconveniences when accessing our facilities,” the force protection specialist said. “However, we anticipate these delays will be minimal, and short-term as we adjust our procedures.” The Antiterrorism Division recommends everyone consider building additional time into travel schedules to alleviate the possible effects of those delays. Security starts with everyone’s involvement, such as remaining vigilant, reporting suspicious activity and making prudent personal decisions. Today’s operating environment has changed and we must change with it — fielding new technology and adapting our security procedures are just one aspect of keeping our personnel and communities safe. “Anyone stationed in Europe is encourage to follow U.S. Army Europe’s Antiterrorism Division on Facebook and Twitter,” the force protection specialist said. “Army Europe’s Antiterrorism Division regularly posts information on upcoming protests and demonstrations so people can

Free and reduced meals program
Families have the option to apply for the Free and Reduced Meal Program for the upcoming school year. Applying for a free or reduced price meal plan used to require parents to apply with a School Liaison Officer though Army Child, Youth and School Services or Air Force Squadron Youth Services. Finding out where to go, getting your documents together, filling out a paper application, having to wait for it to be hand processed, and then get it registered with AAFES at a different location wasn’t exactly a “customer friendly” process. Great news! The Free and Reduced Meal application process is now available online at https:// freeandreducedapps.aafes.com. Here’s what this means for you: •No more running all over post looking for where to apply. •Apply in the privacy of your home with an online application and few mouse clicks. •Only one application per family covers all your children.
Receive confirmation of your child’s status typically within 24 hours. Lunch account is automatically updated to reflect the free or reduced status. “What about my LES? Do I have to scan and send it?” you may ask. Nope! There is an annual verification that will happen each October. At that time 3 percent of all participants will be randomly selected for verification. Those individuals will be contacted and given instructions on how to provide the required documentation for the verification. Student lunches are regulated and subsidized by the USDA. All student lunches are subsidized by the USDA to some degree, even “full priced” meals. Lunch meals claimed under the Free and Reduced Program receive higher reimbursement rates from the USDA. The higher reimbursement rates helps minimize DoDDS’ monetary contributions to the Student Meal Program which means more DoDDS money goes towards other educational needs. Many families who would qualify don’t apply.

News and features At Air Assault School, students turn mantras into instinct By Abigail Meyer Fort Bliss, Texas
FORT BLISS, Texas — At the base of the Fort Bliss Air Assault School rappel tower, hundreds of rucksacks are lined up in neat rows. Students sit patiently awaiting instruction. Groups of two pass by, always jogging, repeating ‘Air Assault!’ in unison, over and over. This is a training environment that fosters discipline and attention to detail. “It’s not only mentally challenging, it’s very physically challenging as well,” said Sgt. 1st Class Jose Ramirez, noncommissioned officer in charge, Fort Bliss Air Assault School, Iron Training Detachment, 1st Armored Division. “We have a lot of exams, a lot of data that they have to keep up with … It’s also a very condensed course. A lot of information’s being given to the students in a matter of days, and they have to be tested in the next day or so.” Standing in line, students waited for their turn down the tower. It was day seven of the 12-day course. With arms folded, they made their way to the edge, reciting the mantra to the cadre, “Right hand, brake hand.” (Descending the ropes, students use their right hand to “brake.”) Students start the course by walking down the wall and, by the end of it, they will exit an airborne helicopter, rappelling to the ground. “Safety is one of the biggest things,” Ramirez explained. “We do emphasize (the mantras) later on when we’re going out of the aircraft or while they’re doing anything with dangerous equipment. … We try to instill it in their brain so it becomes natural instinct.” Any Soldier can attend the course, with the permission of their command. This cycle, the course is attended by 36 students from various units outside of Fort Bliss — Soldiers from active duty, National

Students rappel down a 30-foot tower as part of the rappel phase of Air Assault School at Fort Bliss, Texas, Aug. 19. The most recent air assault class graduated Aug. 24. Guard, Reserve and three Airmen. “They’re learning the fundamentals of air assault operations, moving equipment and personnel, also as an attack force,” Ramirez said. “They’ll know every helicopter used in the Army
arsenal, the capabilities in the Army and how they can use it for each of those, either to transport equipment or for any support as far as attack is concerned.” The course is physically and mentally demanding. To graduate, students must complete an obstacle course, a two-mile run, a six-mile march, then a 12mil foot march, and two hand written tests, one on hand and arm signals and another an inspection with the sling loads. Student Sgt. Maj. Jamie Price said he was glad to be back with Soldiers after graduating from the Army Sergeants Major Academy here at Fort Bliss in June. “I’m motivated every day because, with your peers, it’s a lot different than it is with a lot more junior Soldiers and junior officers,” said Price, who is en route to Fort Campbell, Kentucky, for his next duty assignment. Soldiers shouldn’t attend the course on a whim, according to Capt. Jacqlyn Tsao, assigned to Indianapolis Recruiting Battalion, Indiana. She knew what she was getting herself into and highly recommends preparing beforehand. “Definitely be physically fit coming in here,” she said. “It doesn’t matter how fit you are, if you’ve never used that muscle group before you’re not going to be able to do it. Ruck march as much as possible.” Soldiers conquered the rappel tower and the descent from Black Hawk helicopters, adding a new skillset to their repertoire and a new badge for their uniform. The most recent course graduated 174 students Aug. 24, 2016. Air Assault School is held once a quarter. The Iron Training Detachment plans to hold a Rappel Master Course in October. You must be air assault qualified to attend.
Army Europe band represents America in Scotland By U.S. Army Europe EDINBURGH, Scotland — U.S. Army Europe’s Band and Chorus has been busy representing the U.S. Army with daily performances at the 2016 Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo at the historic Edinburgh Castle. The U.S. Army Europe Band and Chorus, which is the only group from the United States to perform at this year’s Tattoo, has been performing alongside British military bands, Highland Dancers, the Jordanian Armed Forces Band and Drill Team, the Nepal Army Band, and the New Zealand Army Band, as well as conducting outreach working with other military bands and performance groups to share American-style music and give instrument demonstrations. “The Tattoo has grown to become one of the longest-running and most successful military and cultural extravaganzas in the world,” said Retried British Brig. Gen. David Allfrey, chief executive and producer of the Royal Edinburgh
Military Tattoo, at a press conference before the 2016 Tattoo started. “The Tattoo is so much more than a military spectacle; it’s a unique opportunity to bring together a wide variety of people in a single moment of celebration. You will arrive as strangers but depart as friends.” Military tattoos are performances designed to connect worldwide audiences with international military traditions, history, and esprit de corps. The Edinburgh Castle has been home to the military musical performances since 1950. In that time, it has hosted performers from nearly 50 countries from across six continents. According to the concert series’ website, performers from over 48 countries have taken part in the Tattoo, and around 30 percent of the 220,000 people in the audience each year are from outside of Scotland. This year’s tattoo began Aug. 5, and will run through Aug. 27.

Pediatrics consolidates on clinic main floor By Maj. Jeremy Schroeder Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic
The Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic is consolidating all pediatric services to the main floor of the clinic to improve care coordination and patient experience starting Sept. 6. Dr. Elizabeth Kramer’s pediatric team, currently located on the second floor/ white team hallway will co-locate with Dr. Bill Edwards team on the main floor. The move will create a new pediatric hallway which is intended to provide better care through improved sharing of resources and communication between the pediatric teams. According to Lt. Col. David Escobedo, WAHC medical director, the clinic currently provides care to over 2,100 pediatric patients in the community from birth to age 17. “The move was an exciting opportunity to improve the care we provide to the families we serve in the Wiesbaden footprint,” said Escobedo. Parents and patients also benefit from the co-location of services as it brings pediatrics closer to support services already located on the main floor such as, immunizations, Exceptional Family Member Program, pharmacy, lab and radiology. The move will reduce movement between the different floors of the clinic which can be difficult for parents escorting children and carrying extra bags and strollers said Escobedo. Patients should be aware other providers and capabilities will be relocating as a result of the pediatrics consolidation. The Exceptional Family Member Program coordinator will move across the hall on the main floor while the Telehealth resources will move from the second floor/white hallway to the main floor. New signage is scheduled to be replaced over time. If you need assistance locating a service please see the front desk clerks.

Youth physical campaign a success By Sgt. Trevor Varner
Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic
Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic just completed their summer youth physical campaign to ensure children are medically qualified to participate in Child, Youth, & School Services (CYS) sports and school activities. These screenings include a review of your child’s current health, medical history, medications, and a full physical. Active duty families and retirees who are TRICARE Prime
Herald Union
can schedule CYS youth physicals with their medical provider any day throughout the year. WAHC dedicated a Friday afternoon a month, for the past five months, to provide youth physical appointments to all non-TRICARE Prime beneficiaries such as children of Department of Defense civilians/contractors/DoDEA. “These CYS physical days ensure non-beneficiaries in our community have the opportunity to be screened to ensure
they are ready for school, sports, and other CYS activities,” said Lt. Col. Nelson So, WAHC commander. This opportunity has been offered to non-beneficiaries for the last six months and since May 2016, the WAHC has completed over 270 CYS physicals on these designated days. The next CYS Physical campaign will kick off in Spring 2017. Stay tuned for details to ensure your child is ready to spring into action!

DALLAS – The Army and Air Force Exchange Service will implement several improvements to its overseas school lunch program this year. Starting in the fall semester, the Exchange will expand menu options, bring in higher-quality food ingredients and implement a new electronic payment system. The changes come in response to requests from students and parents and will enable the Exchange to serve a wider variety of students than previously possible, said Dora Rivas, school nutrition program specialist for the Army and Air Force Exchange Service. “It’s a big challenge to meet the needs of all of our students, and we have such a diverse population across the world with a lot of different unique preferences,” she said. “This will improve the offerings and hopefully please both students and faculty alike.”
