‘Women at War’ USAREUR deputy surgeon general speaks at clinic By Shayna Brouker
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
How do you go to the bathroom when you’re on a 20-hour mission outside the wire and pulling over means exposing your whole team to enemy fire? How do you get treatment for a urinary tract infection when the clinician comes to your forward operating base only twice a week? How do you ensure you’re on the right type of birth control for the austere environment you are heading toward, or is it possible to not have a period at all while you’re deployed? These are the questions Col. Anne Naclerio, U.S. Army Europe deputy surgeon general, set out to answer when she lent her expertise on a book titled “Women at War.” She wrote the chapter on the issues above and helped edit the collection of chapters with Elspeth Cameron Ritchie, and visited the Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic Aug. 27, a day after Women’s Equality Day and less than a week after the first two women made history by earning their Ranger tabs. Naclerio served on a women’s health See ‘War’ on page 12

Suicide Awareness Day: ‘Don’t let your story be over’ By Shayna Brouker
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
This year, it dawned on Mary Cheney that she is a lot like her mom. She’s 43 — the same age as her mother when she died — and she has a 15-year-old daughter. She too is living in Germany with her husband, a Soldier, just like her mom was. She too works to help Army Families. But that’s where most of the similarities end. Unlike her

mother, Cheney is “making the choice to continue her path.” “Her story wasn’t over,” said Cheney of her mother, who committed suicide after struggling with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder for years when Cheney was 15. “She had feelings of failure, but she was a success. She was an incredible person who had a tragic end.” Cheney chose to share her story publicly for the first time in her life at the garrison Suicide Awareness Day Sept. 3
at the Tony Bass Fitness Center. 5th Signal Command Lt. Col. (Chaplain) Douglas Prentice and Dr. Robert Rucinski from the Behavioral Health Center also spoke, giving tips about what warning signs to look for and the “Ask, Care, Escort” procedure to help someone who might hurt his or herself. Prentice beseeched the audience to look beyond the potential damage to one’s reputation or relationship with the person in question and to “err on the side of life.” He

recounted several occasions during which he intervened. “When you ask, care and escort, you are saving lives,” he said. “When you do, you will look at yourself in the mirror with pride instead of shame that you knew someone’s secret and now they’re dead.” Rucinski made it a point to ask everyone in the room who knew someone who either had taken their own life or tried to to stand up. Nearly everyone in the gym of approximately 100 people stood.

He reminded the audience that the signs can be subtle: idle banter about death and suicide might not just be idle banter. A loss of interest in favorite activities, a sudden change of emotions, even from depressed to happy — because the person has made peace with his or her decision to end their life — or having a close friend or family members who committed suicide can all be indicators to look out for.

Commentary Ask the commander
I must say September is my favorite month and fall/autumn is my favorite season; in that, it’s time to get ready for the wonderful things (fun and not so fun) that happen in the fall of the year. Oddly, you may have noticed that some of the trees have already started losing its leaves and the wind is blowing debris/trash all around. Let’s plan ahead and get started early with seasonal cleanup so when fall cleanup comes along it’s a walk in the park. Command Sgt. Maj.

39th CSA: Initial message to Army By Gen. Mark A. Milley Chief of Staff of the Army
We have the most skilled, ethical, and combat hardened Army in our Nation’s history. No matter where we are around the world, America’s Soldiers are displaying courage, commitment and character. We are demonstrating unparalleled competence and agility. And no matter the challenge, no matter how complex the environment, or how dangerous the situation, our Soldiers fight and win. I am honored to lead this remarkable team. I have three priorities: 1. Readiness: (Current Fight) Our fundamental task is like no other — it is to win in the unforgiving crucible of ground combat. We must ensure the Army remains ready as the world’s premier combat force. Readiness for ground combat is — and will remain — the U.S. Army’s #1 priority. We will always be ready to fight today, and we will always prepare to fight tomorrow. Our most valued assets, indeed, the Nation’s most valued assets, are our Soldiers and our solemn commitment must always be to never send them into harm’s way untrained, poorly led, undermanned, or with less than the best equipment we can provide. Readiness is #1, and there is no other #1. 2. Future Army: (Future Fight) We will do what it takes to build an agile, adaptive Army of the future. We need to listen and learn — first from the Army itself, from other services, from our interagency partners, but also from the private sector, and even from our critics. Developing a lethal, professional and technically competent force requires an openness to new ideas and new ways of doing things in an increasingly complex world. We will change and adapt. 3. Take Care of the Troops: (Always) Every day we must keep foremost in our minds our Soldiers, Civilians and their Families. Our collective strength depends on our people — their mental and physical resilience is at our core. We must always treat each other with respect and lead with integrity. Our Soldiers are the crown jewels of the Nation; we must love them, protect them, and always keep faith with them. I am honored and proud to serve with you. Thank you for your service and commitment to a cause larger than yourselves.

Commentary Copyright infringement by illegal file sharing in Germany Wiesbaden Legal Office Private downloading of music, films and TV series by at-home internet users has become very popular. Those doing so should be aware that downloading copyright-protected material and making it available to the public via peer to peer (P2P) file sharing software is an offense in Germany, and the internet user can be held liable for damages to the copyright holder under German copyright laws. German copyright laws grant the owner of copyrighted work an exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, publicly perform and publicly display the work or to authorize such. Downloading and uploading copyrighted works without permission contravenes the copyright holder’s right of reproduction and distribution. German law firms acting on behalf of proprietors of copyright of literary/
artistic/musical work mail out cease and desist letters to hundreds, if not thousands, of internet users alleging that those users made unauthorized use of such copyrighted work, by way of having illegally downloaded music, audio books or films from the internet and made those works available to other internet users. The wording of these cease-anddesist letters are nearly identical and consist of allegations that on a particular day at a particular time the internet user associated with a specific IP address downloaded a protected work and made it available to other users mainly through a P2P file sharing program. Copyright holders identify illegal downloading activities by using the services of anti-piracy firms to track and search copyrighted works, which often include current chart hits or movies on popular file sharing P2P networks. The firms can then match an upload available
online to a specific IP address. Once an IP address is identified, a court order is applied for. The court order is generally granted ordering internet service providers who store user data to release contact information for the user to whom the investigated IP address is assigned. Requested contact information includes the name and address of the user. As a rule, the individual who contracted with the service provider is legally responsible for any illegal download activity, even if it is carried out by family members, visitors or neighbors. In fact, leaving a WLAN unsecured makes a user responsible for any violations third parties may cause on the network. As a protection it is recommended to set up a username and password for a wireless router or any similar equipment so that only those who know the password are be able to use the Internet connection through the wireless router. It is mandatory to keep the password safe.
If you receive a demand letter from a law firm alleging an illegal download, don’t ignore it. The issued notice letter is generally considered to be legally sufficient. Most attorneys insist on payment of damages, a statement of cease and desist as well as the respective legal fees. Recent statutory amendments to the Copyright Act have introduced a limitation of legal fees in reference to just a cease and desist letter to €147,50. It is advisable to consult an attorney prior to communicating with the law firm, signing any documents, or making any payments. This information paper provides only general guidance. If you require legal advice in relation to a downloading allegation, make an appointment to see a legal assistance attorney at the Wiesbaden Legal Center by calling mil 537-0664 or civ 0611-143-537-0664.

Lighting in housing
Lynette T. said: I live in the stairwell housing. I am concerned that we have no lighting in our parking lot. The whole section of Aummanstrasse is pitch black. It is hard to see anything and our building lights don’t always come on. I believe that this could be a safety issue. Response: Thank you for you for bringing this to our attention. We apologize for your inconvenience. We submitted a service order for our DPW team to fix the existing street lights that are not operating properly around the community. Additionally, as part of our ring road project, we are installing new lights (poles are in place). The installation is expected to be completed by Sept. 18 and hopefully before we have limited natural lighting. There should be good lighting in your parking area when both are operational.

School bus safety is every parent’s responsibility. Only you can keep your children ready. Follow these guidelines now and throughout the school year: • Look at and know your children’s route to and from the bus stop. • Show your children how to go safely to and from the bus stop. Use hands-on instruction. • Stress good behavior on the bus. Good behavior and safety go hand-in-hand. • Report your safety concerns to the school bus office. Children, particularly in kindergarten through second grade, need your supervision to keep them safe. Please take them to and from the bus stop. Wait with them until they have safely boarded the bus. When they return from school, meet them on the same side of the street at the bus stop; do not wait in a parked car or building, nor allow your child to come to you.

News and features News flash ACP drop arm safety notice
There continues to be a problem with vehicles striking the drop arms, or the drop arms striking vehicles, at the Clay Kaserne Access Control Point. These incidents are avoidable and only happen because either the driver fails to stop for the red light at the drop arm, or because the driver is speeding through the ACP and fails to stop for the red light at the drop arm. The drop arms are programmed so that the traffic light will turn red before the drop arm starts moving. Once the light turns red the cycle cannot be interrupted and the drop arm will go down, regardless if there is a vehicle in the way. The drop arm cycle will not start if the light is green and vehicles are continuously passing over the sensor. The two most common causes of these incidents are either drivers not paying attention and continuing through the ACP once the light has turned red, or personnel driving through the ACP in excess of the 30 kph posted speed limit who do not have time to react to the red light and drop arm. If you do happen to hit the drop arm with your vehicle or the drop arm hits your vehicle, this is a traffic accident and Army in Europe Regulation 190-1 requires you to immediately notify the military police. Failure to do so and leaving the scene could result in being titled with Fleeing the Scene of a Traffic Accident.

Operation: Get out of your comfort zone Paul “The Brit” Hughes AFN Wiesbaden
Watching the others take to the concert stage to perform, I was so nervous I felt sick to the pit of my stomach. I was coming up with lastminute ideas on how I could get out of it — something, anything, just so I didn’t have to follow through with it. Prior to this the scariest thing I had ever done was jump out of an aircraft. But now, it was this, the scariest thing ever: to sing in front of an audience for the first time. Despite my best efforts, I couldn’t find a way out of it, other than feigning laryngitis; therefore, I had to go ahead with it. For me, singing in public is terrifying and it is very different than talking to or in front of a large audience because I am pretty sure I am vocally impaired, and every pair of ears in the room is trained on you — listening, judging. So all my life I have point-blank refused to sing in front of anyone it is too far out of my comfort zone. But
because I had committed to doing this and I couldn’t let anyone else down, I went through with it and after I finished, the audience started clapping. All I could think was, wow — I should have sung more songs. I was on cloud nine! It felt amazing to get out of my comfort zone, and now I want to encourage you to find an opportunity to get out of yours. Getting out and about could be really beneficial for you. Considered exploring Europe? Contact FMWR for one of their great trips. Pondered trying something new? Take a photography class at the USO. Want to get healthier? Try a spin class at the fitness center. Getting out of your comfort zone doesn’t have to be an enormous undertaking — it’s just doing something that scares you slightly, or are you anxious about doing. These organizations can help you take those first steps so that it doesn’t seem so daunting, But let’s say for a minute you have done all these courses and
explored all of Europe, what can be next for you? Perhaps you too are shy of singing in the limelight, but have true vocal talent to share with the world. How about Operation Rising Star? It is an Army-run singing competition that has been going for 11 years and has proven to be a great opportunity for active duty service members and Families to compete for stardom, a lot like “American Idol.” To participate you will need to register in advance at www. wiesbaden.armymwr.com. The Wiesbaden auditions are going to be held Sept. 11, 18 and 25 and I am excited to be serving as one of the judges. From one stage frightsuffering performer to another, you can do it. Whether or not you are the Army’s next Rising Star, we all have our comfort zones and we have all been outside of them at some point. Get out of it again and take that first step! Outside of your comfort zone is the magic zone.

CYSS hosts Parent Advisory Board By Karl Weisel
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden FMWR Marketing Office
Parents play a vital role in Child, Youth and School Services — thanks in part to their participation on the Parents Advisory Board. “The good thing about CYSS is that parents can always get involved,” said Farideh Kastens, CYSS Outreach Services director, explaining that with the organization’s open door policy, parents are welcome to eat lunch, play and interact with their children during activities in the various facilities. “Parent involvement is a big part of CYSS,” she added. “The Parent Advisory Board president plays a role in inspecting to ensure that we are meeting the requirements using the Department of Defense checklist. By seeing how the process works they (parents) get a better feeling of the services their children are receiving. They get a better view of where they can help their own child succeed. They can see how their children are learning, playing and interacting with other children.” “It’s essentially parents providing input into child care center operations and activities,” said Peter Witmer, school liaison officer. With a recent turnover in several Parents Advisory Board positions, Kastens said, CYSS is currently seeking new parents to serve on the
board. “Our president just left in June,” said Kastens, explaining that the board meets quarterly with garrison and CYSS representatives to look at ways to enhance services and programs and to encourage more parent involvement. “One of the things they look at is what kinds of things parents need such as parent education classes. They also explore opportunities to do such things as staff appreciation days,” she said. “It’s a way to promote positive involvement in CYSS … to organize such things as extracurricular events and activities, T-shirts, photos.” Like the Parent Teachers Association in the schools, the Parent Advisory Board offers a way to positively influence Child, Youth and School Services, Kastens said. It also provides volunteers with an incentive to get involved, she said, pointing out that registered volunteers earn parent participation points. “By accumulating 10 points they are eligible for a 10 percent discount on CYSS fees for the following month.” For more information about the Parent Advisory Board or to get involved, call Farideh Kastens at civ (0611) 143-548-9351. CYSS parents are also invited to attend the next Parent Advisory Board to be held Sept. 24 at 4:45 p.m. at Army Community Service, Bldg. 7790, in Hainerberg Housing.

Getting wild in Scotland Story and photos by Shayna Brouker
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
The eight-year-old girl timidly held out her hand covered with the heavy leather protective glove. As the hawk soared high above the small crowd, he hung motionless for a moment in the air. Then, spying the treat of raw chicken meat placed on his perch, swooped in low over heads of the audience, stretched out his thorny talons and grasped them around her wrist and began tearing at the meat. Feeding wild birds of prey is not how one envisions their trip to Scotland. Nor is dolphin-watching, but these just a few of the surprises waiting for visitors of the Speyside region in northeast Scotland. A visit to this region of the Highlands, long considered the frontier of the British Isles, is not complete without an encounter with wildlife, tamed or otherwise. You don’t have to go very far out of your way to see sheep, the famous shaggy Highland cows, hawks or dolphins. The aforementioned hawk was found at the North East Falconry Centre, which teaches the medieval art of the falconry (still thriving in Scotland) and holds daily demonstrations for the public. More than two dozen birds, including owls and a feisty American bald eagle, can be found at the center, and are flown daily for exercise. Upon arriving at the center, at the end of a single-lane farm road nestled among the hills, a friendly buck greets visitors, following them around and begging for food. It is a bit unsettling until one realizes he’s essentially a farm dog, looking for pets and treats. He stood still and serene as small children happily stroked his thick coat and fuzzy antlers. Then, over the course of an hour, falconry experts demonstrate the otherworldly flying abilities of their birds of prey. The peregrine falcon, with its superior eyesight and sleek build, was particularly exciting to watch. Its signature dive bomb can reach speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. Swinging its prey on a tether, the expert falconer sometimes had to duck out the way to avoid getting hit. During the final part of their descent, the falcons can’t see what’s directly under them, she explained. Understandably, the falcon was only for show, not visitor interaction. But Hamish the Harris’ hawk, a breed known for its sociability that makes it ideal for falconry training, made friends
with each of the 20 visitors. Every person was able to pose for a picture as Hamish perched on their arm. A small barn owl named Smidge was next, his super-soft feathers a delight to the younger children. But it was clear that the adults too enjoyed the thrill of holding a bird of prey in such close proximity. From land to sea, Scotland is rich in wildlife. While the sea life isn’t quite so accessible, the Scottish Dolphin Centre in Spey Bay on the North Sea coast makes them moreso. The bottlenose dolphins of the North Sea are the largest in the world and share their home here at the mouth of the River Spey with grey seals, herons, otters, ospreys and more. Upon arrival, there were pirate flags waving and children running around dressed as pirates and scallywags. It was Pirate Day. Grabbing some free binoculars and setting out to search for dolphins from the shoreline seemed the best thing to do. However, after half an hour of sitting on the hard stones and pebbles scanning the horizon for dolphins, to no avail, these wildlife watchers called it quits. Perhaps the pirates scared them off. Not far from Spey Bay is a small town called Lossiemouth, which seemed like a good place to stay for the night simply because of the name (and also its amenities, which included a beer brewery and a golf course right on the water). It was here, sitting on benches at a run-down bar sipping the local Windswept brewery craft beer, ignoring a persistent seagull begging for scraps and watching the fiery sun sink down into the horizon, that these adventurers finally saw fins. Like many treasured traveling experiences, the best ones happen when you’re least expecting them. Hawks and dolphins are just a few of the creatures one can encounter traveling in Scotland. Hiking and camping along the River Spey is very doable, with established trails and campsites all along the river. Salmon and fly fishing is a treasured tradition, with the season running February through September – just be sure to inquire with the local fishing association as there may be a cost associated. If you want to get closer to both culture and cattle, why not take a more domesticated approach and stay on a farm? Visit http://www.farmstay.co.uk/ ThingsToDo/CountrysideActivities/ farmtours to see farms that open their fields and homes to visitors. The wilds of Scotland are waiting for you.
A sunset over the North Sea in the town of Lossiemouth provides unexpected opportunities for dolphinwatching. Top photo: Hamish the Harris’ hawk perches on a visitor’s arm as the buck grazes in the background. Photo left: A not-so-wild Shetland pony grazes by a trail in Dufftown.

Army hosts first-ever Armed Forces women’s rugby camp By Gary Sheftick Army News Service
Sixteen service members — half of whom were Soldiers — reported to the military’s first training camp for women’s rugby, Aug. 23. Armed Forces Sports has been working for about a decade to set up a female rugby program, said Steven Dinote, who directs the sports program for the Department of Defense. “It’s been a struggle finding a tournament we can actually participate in,” said Dinote, adding that this year when the week-long training camp ends, the women’s team will compete in the USA Rugby Elite City Sevens Tournament in Philadelphia over the weekend. Several women on the team said they have been waiting excitedly for Armed Forces Sports to stand up a program and have been playing in local clubs and tournaments in the meantime to keep their skills. Rugby has been one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States over the past four or five years, said Army Capt. Andrew Locke, who volunteered to coach the women’s team. He’s leading the players through drills this week on the pitch at Fort Indiantown Gap. Locke, who was a quarterback at U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, his freshman year before switching over to rugby, played on the USA Men’s National Rugby Team last year and now serves as a talent scout and coach for the national team, also known as the Eagles. In addition, he plays as scrum half for the Armed Forces Men’s Team. “The Army wanted to get this off the ground and give women an opportunity to play,” Locke said. The service thought about putting together an All-Army team, he said, but decided that the way to go — at least for the first year — was to establish a joint Armed Forces Team. Marine 1st Lt. Jane Paar is player-captain of the inaugural team. Paar also plays as prop and hooker on the Women’s National Rugby Team and hopes to play with Team USA in the Olympics next year in Rio. “This is an awesome opportu-
nity,” Paar said of being able to captain the Armed Forces team. “I’m really excited.” She said the team has some good runners and everyone’s fit. “What more could you want on a seven’s team,” she asked. In seven’s rugby, seven athletes play seven-minute halves and the game is fast. “It’s physical, it’s mental, it’s such a great sport,” said Paar, adding that it also helps develop military skills. Army Capt. Simona Shipp said rugby develops teamwork. “There’s no such thing as a ‘superstar’ in rugby,” she said, emphasizing that it takes the entire team working together to win. Shipp, a staff judge advocate attorney on Fort Wainwright, Alaska, plays with a Fairbanks rugby club when she’s not on duty. She said rugby helps develop confidence, not only on the pitch, but in other fields as well. “In the middle of calamity, you have to keep a straight head,” she said. Army Capt. Ashley Sorensen goes by the nickname “Viking” because she sometimes wears her blonde hair in two braids when she plays. Sorensen, who serves with the 303rd Ordnance Battalion (Explosive Ordnance Detachment, or EOD) at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, broke the Guinness world record for the fastest mile run in a full bomb suit. Sorensen ran the mile in 11 minutes, 6 seconds and broke the EOD record by more than 2.5 minutes. She brings that same speed and endurance to rugby, though she’s recovering from a knee injury suffered last year when tackled high while playing for the Hawaii Harlequins. Air Force 2nd Lt. Emily Raney said her Army father supports her in the sport. Col. Lance Raney is chief of Consultants and Clinical Policy at the U.S. Army Medical Command headquarters in Falls Church, Va. The younger Raney serves on Hill Air Force Base, Utah, where she plays for the Salt Lake City Slugs recreational rugby team. She also plays as wide receiver, safety and kicker for the Utah Falconz, a semi-pro women’s tackle football
team. Sgt. Cerrin Allyn Eldridge was one of only three enlisted players at the training camp. She’s a parachute rigger for the 725th Brigade Support Battalion on Fort Richardson, Alaska. “I’d like to see the sport grow in the military,” said Eldridge, adding that she was delighted that the Armed Forces women’s rugby program has gotten underway, as her opportunities to play in Alaska were limited. “This gives us an opportunity to come down here and play in beautiful weather against really good teams and meet really other really good rugby players,” she said. The female players have come together to play well as a team in just a few days, she said. “Any kind of rugby team, usually the minute we meet, we all of a sudden start bonding,” Eldridge said. “We all play one of the roughest sports out there. Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Mallory Michaels, a corpsman, was another enlisted player at the training camp. She serves as a full-timer at a Navy Reserve Operational Support Center in New Hampshire. Michaels said she has broken her wrist and all 10 of her fingers at one time or another playing rugby. Sometimes she just splinters them in cardboard to get back in the game that she says she loves so much. As a corpsman, Michaels said she often helps treat other players injured at rugby club games, even though she’s off duty. She said the sport not only provides her fitness training, it also provides training in her military occupational specialty. Michaels began playing rugby at Lock Haven University in central Pennsylvania. She said she felt right at home on Fort Indiantown Gap as Black Hawk helicopters flew along a ridge of the Blue Mountains in the background. None of the players seemed to notice the helicopters landing and taking off as they practiced scrums, rucks, mauls, passing and tackling on this warm August afternoon. They were preparing to scrimmage against several of the Armed Forces Men’s Rugby Team there to help with practice.

Ranger School: ‘All Soldiers welcome’ By C. Todd Lopez Army News Service
From now on, the Army’s Ranger School will be open to any female Soldiers who meet the criteria. That’s the latest from the Army, as spelled out in a Sept. 2 “All Army Activities” message known as an ALARACT. “We must ensure that this training opportunity is available to all Soldiers who are qualified and capable and we continue to look for ways to select, train, and retain the best Soldiers to meet our nation’s needs,” Army Secretary John M. McHugh said. The chief of staff of the Army said the service’s No. 1 priority is combat readiness, and that the leadership development that comes from attending Ranger School is a key component of that. “Giving every qualified Soldier the opportunity to attend the Ranger course, the Army’s premier small unit leadership school, ensures we are maintaining our combat readiness today, tomorrow and for future generations,” Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley said. In January, the Army announced that it would for the first time open Ranger School to women, as part of a “Ranger Course Assessment.” That assessment kicked off in April, as part of Ranger Course 06-15. Two women who entered
Ranger School at that time, 1st Lt. Shaye L. Haver and Capt. Kristen M. Griest, eventually graduated the school Aug. 21, and a third woman is in the final phase of the school in Florida. Now, all women who want to embrace the challenge and the opportunity to earn the Ranger tab will be able to enroll in the school, if they meet the stringent requirements to attend. Maj. Gen. Austin S. Miller, commander of the U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence, said during an Aug. 20 press conference that those same stringent requirements and standards were not changed as part of the Ranger Course Assessment. “Up front, what we’ve been very consistent on is we’ve said there will be no Photo by Spc. Nikayla Shodeen change to the standards ... and there weren’t,” he said. “We Soldiers participate in combatives training during the first gender-integrated Ranger also said ... we’re going to course on Fort Benning, Ga., April 20, 2015. it is timing or deployment or through — and you have to want spokesperson, there are three be professional and objective as we work our way through they are in some school at this to get through — than you will more Ranger Schools schedthis process, which is exactly point in time, they weren’t make it.” uled this year, one in September, what you would expect from able to go to this assessment,” Current Army policy al- one in October, and one in a Ranger-qualified instructor Griest said. “But I know many lows female students who November. or anybody else in the Army.” very qualified women that I successfully complete Ranger He said it usually takes two Just a day before her gradu- can think of that could pass the School to receive a graduation to three months to prepare for ation from Ranger School, Gri- course or at least make a very certificate and be awarded, and Ranger School, so if other est said that for other women good attempt.

assessment team in Afghanistan in 2011 and as a female Soldier, faced many of the issues herself. She went looking for facts and solutions to the issues identified as the chair of the Army’s Women Health Task Force from 2011-2014. While many areas, like body armor that fits a woman’s form, have gotten the needed attention they deserve, she said, the book also addresses other areas that remain more taboo, like sexuality in a war zone and same-sex relationships.

Guardsman to get Soldiers Medal National Guard Bureau Spc. Aleksander R. Skarlatos, one of three Americans who subdued a heavily armed gunman on a Parisbound train, will be awarded the Soldiers Medal - the U.S. Army’s highest award for acts of heroism not involving actual conflict with an enemy. Senior Army leaders announced Tuesday that Skarlatos, a member of the Oregon Army National Guard, will receive the award after reviewing information submitted by the National Guard Bureau. Skarlatos was traveling from Amsterdam to Paris when a gunman emerged from a train lavatory carrying an AK-47 and a Lugar pistol. After hearing the sound of gunfire, Skarlatos called to others on the train to act, then charged the gunman. He then “forcefully wrestled the two firearms from the gunman’s possession,” according to the award submission. “As the gunman fought relentlessly, wielding a box-cutting razor, Spc. Skarlatos seized the assailant’s own rifle to employ as a blunt weapon,” knocking the gunman unconscious, then securing him “with makeshift restraints.” “Spc. Skarlatos’ actions that day epitomize what we mean by a Soldier of character - one who lives by a personal code where dedication to duty and taking care of others is sacred,” said Army Secretary John M. McHugh. “His actions, and those of his fellow serviceman and passengers, exemplify the highest standards of selfless service. We are proud to count him in our ranks.” Skarlatos and two of his childhood friends, Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone and Anthony Sadler, were on vacation traveling from Amsterdam to Paris on the train. Skarlatos is a member the Oregon National Guard’s 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team. He is being awarded the Soldiers Medal “for extraordinary heroism above and beyond the call of duty” and the medal’s citation reads, in part, that “Specialist Skarlatos distinguished himself in a courageous manner, voluntarily accepting risk to his own life,” and that his “brave actions prevented a potentially catastrophic loss of life.” “On behalf of our Army, I commend Spc. Aleksander Skarlatos for his heroic actions Friday that saved hundreds of lives by awarding him the Soldier’s Medal,” said Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley. “His extraordinarily heroic effort, at the risk to his own life, truly exemplifies our Army values. I am proud to call you a hero and a Soldier.” Stone has been similarly nominated for the Airman’s medal, the U.S. Air Force’s highest non-combat award. On Monday, Skarlatos, Stone, Sadler and a British businessman received the Legion d’Honneur - France’s highest recognition - presented in Paris by French President Francois Hollande. “While the investigation into the attack is in its early stages, it is clear that their heroic actions may have prevented a far worse tragedy,” President Barack Obama said in a statement. “We often use the word hero, and in this case I know that word has never been more appropriate,” said Jane D. Hartley, the U.S. Ambassador to France.

For your health
Blisters can slow you down with serious pain By Veronique Hauschild Environmental Scientist Army Public Health Center
Most of us have experienced the pain of having a friction blister. They typically form on the toes, feet and ankles but can also occur on the hands or other places where there is repeated rubbing (such as on the torso from the straps of a heavy backpack). Because these injuries often only cause discomfort and don’t require medical treatment, they are sometimes described as “just a blister.” However, some blisters become serious and temporarily debilitating for Soldiers and athletes. As one of the most common injuries among active duty military, friction blisters can have a notable adverse impact to military readiness. Activities such as marching and running are the most common causes of blisters in the military. You may not be able to avoid activities that put you at risk of developing blisters. However, there are things you can do to minimize the likelihood of developing a blister. While the science is not substantial, studies do provide evidence that some people may have a higher risk of developing blisters. For example, having no foot arch or flat feet, or being of an ethnicity other than African American/Black, can increase your risk of getting a blister. While these factors cannot be changed, other factors that increase risk of blister can be modified. For instance, wearing cotton socks, especially if socks or feet are moist, and using tobacco (including smokeless tobacco) can increase chances you develop blisters. In addition, various “best practices” for preventing blisters are also recommended by medical professionals and professional and amateur athletes. Start with this (best supporting scientific evidence): ADAPTATION: To help your skin become more resistant:
• Increase duration and intensity of blister-causing activities slowly over time. • Use the same shoes, gloves or load weight/shape as you increase activity. SOCKS: Use synthetic moisture wicking blends (no cotton). • Synthetic socks made from acrylic, nylon or polyester that ventilate and wick moisture away from the feet are recommended over cotton socks, to prevent blisters, especially during long distance marching or running. • Wear a double layer of socks (non-cotton), since a second layer stops the first from rubbing against the skin. However, others prefer a single layer loop-stitched sock, as less heat is generated than with two layers. SHOES: Ensure proper fit and maintenance. • Make sure toes do not touch end of shoe while walking, and consider a wide toe box with room for toes to wiggle. • Purchase shoes later in the day since foot size may swell half a size throughout the day or after activity. • Do not leave shoes/boots on radiators or near heaters since this can cause them to shrink and seams to protrude. TAPING AND SKIN COVERINGS: • Zinc Oxide tape has been reported in running communities to prevent blisters from forming or minimizing further injury to an existing blister. Other products referred to as “blister plasters” will expand in response to friction and thus protect the area from blisters forming or getting worse.
Photo coutesy of Army.mil
Less or no supporting scientific evidence: INSOLES: • A closed-cell neoprene insole was found to reduce the incidence of blisters in U.S. Coast Guard recruits. • Properly fitting insoles can reduce blisters, though illfitting insoles can increase them. COATINGS: (Reduce friction with various coating products): • Inexpensive products, such as petroleum jelly, have been commonly advocated by various athletes to prevent blisters on feet, under arms, bra straps or between legs. • While prior study suggested antiperspirants may reduce blisters, there is a risk of skin irritation, so it is not specifically recommended. Potentially less irritating coatings include products such as “Vaseline,” or of more recent popularity, longer lasting non-oily coatings such as “BodyGlide.” (Use of trademarked name does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Army, but is intended only to assist in identification of a specific product.)
Learn to identify and act on suicide warning signs By Anita Spiess, Dr. Eren Watkins, Lt. Col. David Bowerman Army Public Health Center
Your boss gives you a poor performance review. Your girlfriend says, “That’s it. I’m gone.” You’re afraid your pay won’t stretch to cover both your rent and your credit card bill. We have all experienced blows to our self-esteem, problems at work, losses of people important to us and anxiety about how to pay our bills. So if these things are happening to a friend, you can understand how they are feeling. But how do we recognize when that friend is considering suicide? Here are some scenarios that illustrate warning signs and some stressors that might put someone at risk for suicide: Mike was always punctual, safe and careful. These days he is often late to work and has been missing meetings. He’s also driving his motorcycle irresponsibly as if it was a game, cutting in and out of traffic. He had set his sights on Ranger school but recently learned he was not accepted. Major changes in behavior and reckless behavior may signal that a
Page 14
Herald Union
person is contemplating suicide. Jane usually has a glass of wine with dinner. Now she is putting away a pint of bourbon every night. It’s solitary drinking; she is not hanging out with friends like she used to. Her mother died a couple of months ago, so maybe it is related to that. Withdrawal from friends may be a sign of suicidal ideation, and selfmedication with alcohol or drugs increases the risk of negative moods and impulsive behavior. Recently, every conversation with George ends up with a story of some death he has heard about. He even tried to give his guitar to Graham. That seems weird: he used to talk about how proud he was to have such a beautiful instrument. His wife has been threatening divorce this last year. Brooding on death may indicate suicidal thoughts and giving away treasured possessions suggests the threat of suicide is imminent. Warning Signs of Suicide • Changes in behavior • Increases in drug or alcohol use • More frequent talk about death • Mood swings
• Reckless behavior or risky activities • Anxiety or agitation • Giving away possessions • Withdrawal from friends • Rage, desire for revenge • Hopelessness • Feeling trapped • No reason for living, no sense of purpose Suicidal intent or behavior often occurs following a number of stressful events and circumstances. There is no magic solution or special indicator to determine when someone is suicidal. However, learning to identify and act on warning signs can be the first line of defense for a battle buddy who may be in need of extra support during a difficult time. Although Army leadership continues to implement programs and strategies to address this issue, the pulse of the force remains at the grass roots level. Suicide prevention starts with you and your attention to the Soldiers you know best. You may not know why someone is having problems, but you are close enough to Ask, Care, and Escort if necessary.

In “Straight Outta Compton,” five young men, using rhymes and beats, put their frustration and anger about life into the most powerful weapon they had: their music.
The Perfect Guy — In the film, Leah Vaughn (Sanaa Lathan) appears to have the ideal life. She enjoys a challenging, fast-paced career as a lobbyist; Dave (Morris Chestnut), her longterm boyfriend loves her. And yet, at 36, she’s ready to move to the next phase. Marriage and a family seem a logical and welcome step. Dave is not so sure. A bit commitment phobic, his misgivings lead to a painful break up. Enter Carter Duncan (Michael Ealy), a handsome, charming stranger whose path keeps crossing with Leah’s. Caring and solicitous of Leah and her family and friends, their relationship rapidly progresses. It seems Leah has met the perfect guy. But if it seems too good to be true... Soon Carter’s protective nature morphs into something more sinister. It’s clear Leah has to end this new relationship and when she does, her onetime lover becomes her ultimate enemy. It will take every bit of her cunning and resolve to escape and outwit him. Mr. Holmes — A new twist on the world’s most famous detective. 1947, an aging Sherlock Holmes (Ian McKellen) returns from a journey to Japan, where, in search of a rare plant with powerful restorative qualities, he has witnessed the devastation of nuclear warfare. Now, in his remote seaside farmhouse, Holmes faces the end of his days tending to his bees, with only the company of his housekeeper and her young son, Roger. Grappling with the diminishing powers of his mind, Holmes comes to rely upon the boy as he revisits the circumstances of the unsolved case that forced him into retirement, and searches for answers to the mysteries of life and love – before it’s too late. Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials — In this next chapter of the epic “Maze Runner” saga, Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) and his fellow Gladers face their greatest challenge yet: searching for clues about the mysterious and powerful organization known as WCKD. Their journey takes them to the Scorch, a desolate landscape filled with unimaginable obstacles. Teaming up with resistance fighters, the Gladers take on WCKD’s vastly superior forces and uncover its shocking plans for them all.
