ore than 80 Airmen from Ramstein participated in Exercise Carpathian Spring in Romania April 12 through 21.

The exercise was designed for aircrew to receive upgrade training as well as building partnership capacity with Romanians.

“Sequestration has forced us to be more efficient with our training funds and hours,” said Capt. Michael Trimble, 37th Airlift Squadron C-130J Super Hercules aircraft commander. “We have come to Romania to maximize the training available to us. They have great airspace and terrain.”

While in Romania, executing effective C-130J Super Hercules aircrew training was a priority.

“Aircrew conducted low-level flying and assault landings, while the See EXERCISE, Page 3

T

he War of 1812 is now 200 years removed, and the friendly relations enjoyed since then by the U.S. and Great Britain have long been a source of pride between the two countries. A recent training exercise in the KMC, Operation Rhine Venture, continued that tradition of service members from both

countries working together for the common good.

British soldiers from the Royal Artillery School joined their American air defense counterparts for the weeklong exercise designed to bring certain NATO countries together for professional development, camaraderie and knowledge sharing on their countries’ respective air defense capabilities. German Bundeswehr forces also participated in some of the week’s activities, which

WHY? The question after suicide

Commentary

by Senior Master Sgt. Jeanna Stansbury 786th Force Support Squadron superintendent Why? Who knew a three letter word, one little question, when left unanswered could have such a tremendous effect?

It was a Saturday morning and I had just returned home from coaching my 9-year-old youth basketball team through another game toward their undefeated season. My husband’s phone rang, he came upstairs with phone still in hand and I heard him say, “We’ll be right there.”

He hung up the phone and pulled me close into a hug. He whispered in my ear, “Don’s dead. He committed suicide. Diane (his wife) is there.

She needs you.”

We arrived to a chaotic scene of police cars, ambulances, police members in uniform, Office of Special Investigations agents, squadron and group commanders and their wives all scrambling around, most of them with tears in their eyes. I went to Diane, who was sitting in her car. She kept saying, “I knew he was upset. I shouldn’t have left him alone, I should have stayed with him. I should have known. I just don’t understand. I just don’t understand.”

I spent the next 16 hours with Diane trying to comfort her. She wanted to see her husband.

I kept making phone calls, trying to get answers for her. All they could tell me was that the process and investigation take time. I’ve had a little experience when it comes to suicide; three of

ended in a reception and gift exchange among the participants.

The evolution of the Patriot Missile systems since Operation Desert Storm in 1991, radar, and other technological improvements and doctrinal launching procedures were just a few of the topics covered during the exchange. While the countries involved may not share all of the same equipment or standard operating procedures with their air defense systems, there was still plenty of interest from all in learning about each other’s way

my family members chose suicide as their solution to their temporary problem. Now, a friend, a peer, a mentor had made the same choice and I was left trying to figure out why for his family, for his Airmen, for myself. Even with the experiences in my life, I couldn’t figure it out.

It made no sense.

Don was the chief master sergeant of the security forces squadron, and I talked to him at least once a week. I knew he had challenges at work, but we talked about them and at the end of our conversations I always said, “You good?

You know, I’m always here if you need to talk or vent.” He would say, “Na, I’m good.”

Why didn’t he take advantage of that open door? Why didn’t he use other avenues of help such as Military OneSource, Military Family Life consultants, or our chaplains who are available 24/7? Why did I not see this coming? I should have known. Why did he do this to his family, his friends, his Airmen? You could see the confusion and hurt in every Airman’s eyes across the entire wing.

“If the chief made this choice, what do I do when I have a problem?”

Our job as leaders is to let the Airmen know they always have other options and there is always another choice they can make. For the next few weeks our marching orders were “eyes on every Airman.” Because if we missed it with the chief, who else have we missed?

A year later, I still don’t know why, but I can share with you why not. There is always another

of conducting business.

Participants from each country were quick to cite the many benefits gained from the exercise and hoped the event could be repeated.

“It gives us a chance to learn how they (the British) operate, understand their battlefield personnel structure and build relationships with one of our strongest NATO allies,” said U.S. Army Capt. Todd Coppedge, commander of Charlie Battery, 5th Battalion, 7th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command.

solution, whatever it may be, that you can live with. You may just have to work toward it. Why not? Because suicide is one of the most selfish acts you can choose.

Your choice causes so much pain and anguish for the family and friends left behind; they are the ones who suffer for your choice.

Why not? Because your family, more than 300,000 Airmen, is willing to help you through your problem.

We have an entire staff at the mental health clinic dedicated to helping you do just that — work through your problem. For those Airmen who have heard that going to mental health will affect their career, you heard wrong. I’ve been going off and on for the past few years for various problems I’ve faced, both professionally and personally, and I have worked through each and every one of them with a little help. I’m willing to bet that the 59 Airmen in 2012 who chose a permanent solution to their temporary problem would have been able to work though theirs as well.

Did you know you can get help with your problem through Military OneSource, over the phone, face-to-face or even online and no one has to know?

I promise there is another solution, and if you can’t figure it out on your own then someone will help you. All you have to do is ask. Don’t leave your family, friends, co-workers with that one question they’ll never get the answer to — why?

Barracks saw many of the British getting their first glimpse of the Patriot Missile. The exchange was hardly one-sided, however.

“My Soldiers also have a chance to show their capabilities, and we had a chance to learn from each other,” Coppedge said.

The British soldiers who participated agreed, grateful for their chance to see new weapons systems and share their experiences with NATO comrades-in-arms.

“It’s been a really good experience, and I’d absolutely do it again if given the chance,” said British army

435th Contingency Response Group operated drop zones and supported foreign jumpers,” said Capt. Bradley Buinicky, 86th Operations Support Squadron chief of current operations. “For members of the 86th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, it gave them good exposure to doing their job in a different location.”

Being gone for more than a night required several Airmen from the 86th AMXS to ensure the aircraft were properly maintained.

“We were able to interact with the Romanians and see how they do things maintenance wise,” said Senior Airman Sean Acebedo, 86th AMXS engine mechanic.

“It was a good training mission for us to be able to support.”

Romanian military members observed and became familiarized with maintenance, drop zone operations and pallet building, said Buinicky.

“This is our fifth year of training with the 37th (Airlift

Squadron),” said Romanian Brig. Gen. Adrian Ciolponea, 6th Special Operation Brigade commander. “It’s always a pleasure and we learn a lot from NCOs and officers, pilots and aircrew.

They are all professionals in this job.”

Condensing what would have been a month or two of training in Germany, the aircrew was able to get all the training needed in a little more than a week in Romania.

Six pilots were upgraded and two loadmasters met all qualifications to drop personnel during the training.

Overall, more than 250 Romanian paratroopers were airdropped with about 350 night-vision goggle events over the course of the 10 days.

“It’s going very well,” Trimble said. “We have had excellent jumps, great training for the aircrew, the weather has been spectacular and the support from the Romanians has been very generous. We have nothing to complain about.”

Munitions Airman blows away competition Story and photo by Airman 1st Class Holly Cook 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs Senior Airman Matthew Brown, 86th Munitions Squadron munitions system technician, was recently awarded the Conventional Munitions Systems Maintainer Technician of the Year award for U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa.

“I’m excited to have won this award,” Brown said.

“It feels good to see that my hard work has paid off.”

Hard work is nothing new for Brown. As a member of 86th MUNS, he supports munitions custody accounts for more than four different countries.

Assisting military members around the world is just one of Brown’s primary duties.

“My main goal is to supply warfighters around the world with what they need to get the job done,” Brown said.

Along with distributing munitions to military members, Brown also conducts inventories and inspections, validates allocations and processes expenditures.

“Brown is a very dedicated and technically sound Airman,” said Tech. Sgt. John Morris, Brown’s supervisor. “He is well deserving of this award.”

Utilizing his work ethic and dedication, Brown is no stranger to success.

He won Airman of the Year at the squadron level when he was stationed at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, N.C.

Senior Airman Matthew Brown, 86th Munitions Squadron munitions system technician, explains to his airman leadership class the importance of operations security Monday on Kapaun. Brown was recently awarded the Conventional Munitions Systems Maintainer Technician of the Year for U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa.

CHECK YOUR SPEED If you haven’t already noticed the speed limit signs at installation entry and exit points, please take note. These areas are designated as 30 kph zones based on the high amount of pedestrian, bike and vehicle traffic entering and exiting the base on a daily basis.

Due to the high volume of traffic and congestion at the base gates, the 86th Airlift Wing implemented these speed limits to avoid mishaps and accidents to ensure everyone’s safety as they commute through these areas. Drivers will encounter multiple speed bumps, barriers and bollards as they approach and pass through the gates. Too often, however, drivers accelerate after the last speed bump racing upward of 50 kph in a 30 kph zone, which doesn’t end for quite some distance down the road. The 86th AW went as far as installing digital speed readers to alert the drivers to their speed and keep everyone’s attention focused on safe operation of motor vehicles in these areas.

Just in case you didn’t know, security forces has and will continue to randomly post LEIVTEC camera speed systems at installation entry and exit points to capture those who excessively speed in these areas. Much like the camera speed system off-base, this system is unmanned and violators will receive a citation shortly thereafter, which could bring a suspension of driving privileges with it. Please contribute to the safety of our civilians and Airmen working at the gates as well as the safety of pedestrians and motorists, just slow down, pay close attention and maintain the posted speed limit in these areas.

361st Civil Affairs Brigade holds assumption of command Story and photo by Sgt. Daniel J. Friedberg 7th Civil Support Command, 221st Public Affairs Detachment, 21st Theater Sustainment Command Col. Miguel A. Castellanos assumed command of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command’s 7th Civil Support Command’s 361st Civil Affairs Brigade in a ceremony April 21 at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center gymnasium.

The 7th CSC is the only U.S. Army Reserve command stationed outside the continental U.S. Officiating the ceremony was Brig. Gen. Paul M. Benenati, the 7th CSC commanding general. In his remarks, Benenati expressed a feeling of honor to be standing in front of the formation and also recognized former acting commander Lt. Col. James L. DeRose III for his leadership until a permanent commander was assigned.

Benenati praised the 361st CA Bde. for its significant importance in military history.

Before turning the podium over to Castellanos, Benenati stressed the importance of the Army Reserve as a cost-effective force for the future of U.S. national defense needs.

“The Army cannot go to war without us,” Benenati said.

Castellanos stressed to his new unit the importance of enhancing relationships with allied partner nations.

Castellanos’ most recent assignment was with the 7th Psychological Operations Group

at Moffett Field, Calif., where he was the deputy commander and served as acting group commander for 16 months.

Castellanos has held various leadership positions in Germany, the U.S. and through his deployments to the Middle East and Africa, since receiving his commission as an infantry officer in 1987.

Castellanos also served a year-long tour with the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit at Fort Benning, Ga. and is authorized to wear the “President’s Hundred” tab for his demonstrated marksmanship abilities.

The colonel has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Industrial Arts from The California State University and a masters degree in Strategic Studies from the U.S. Army War College, Carlisle, Penn.

Castellanos promised his Soldiers to give his best and said he too would be expecting the best of his new unit. He also expressed his gratitude to his new Soldiers.

“I thank you for your service,” he said.

The 361st CA Bde. was activated as part of the 7th CSC on Sept. 17, 2010, at Daenner Kaserne in Kaiserslautern.

Since that time, the unit’s Soldiers have deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. They have also supported various U.S. and international operations and exercises.

Also in attendance at the ceremony were members of Castellanos’ family, some of his friends and dignitaries including Col. Wiebe Baron, Royal Netherlands Army.

hree U.S. Postal Service inspectors visited with members of the 86th Communications Squadron April 19 at the Ramstein Northside Post Office.

The purpose of the visit was to observe the day-to-day functions of the Department of Defense’s largest postal operation.

“The USPS came to see how we do things,” said Tech. Sgt. Jamal Graham, Northside Post Office postmaster. “We had been recognized as the best in USAFE, so they wanted to see what we do.”

Senior Airman Chelsea Kemper, Northside Post Office custodian of postal effects, briefed the inspectors on the different sections within the post office. She discussed the procedures for parcel service center, finance, receipt and delivery, customer service, official mail and registered mail sections.

“What we do on a daily basis is important to our customers,” said Kemper, who has been stationed at Ramstein since October 2011. “I enjoy helping the customer…The more we know, the better the customer service we can give.”

The USPS inspectors discussed customer service, security issues and challenges facing the post office which received seven million pounds of mail last year. In particular, the

inspectors marked the cleanliness and organization of the post office grounds and its importance to effective postal operations.

“I have to say this is extremely impressive,” said Gregory Crabb, U.S. Postal Inspection Service inspector in charge of revenue, product and global security. “With as many boxes and packages as you have, this is impressive.”

The 86th CS Airmen continue to make improvements towards their goal to be the best in the Air Force.

“We are opening up a separate branch office for customer service.

This will help us have better connection with the community and be able to help with customers questions longer than we are currently,” Graham said. “We are opening a ‘click and ship’ line to help get the customers

in and out of the post office quicker.

Since ‘click and ship’ packages are already paid for, we can expedite the process so customers do not have to wait.”

The Northside Post Office was named best in U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa and second best in the Air Force for Information Dominance Large Postal Facility in 2012.

USAFE-AFAFRICA considers reduction in forces actions

by Capt. Reba Good U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa Public Affairs

A

ir Force officials announced April 17 that approximately 60 Air Force installations will implement the service’s civilian Reduction in Force authority effective through September to assist in the placement of employees not assigned against funded positions (termed “surplus employees”).

Manpower specialists estimate the RIF may affect up to 20 employees in United States Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa.

However, the final number of employees selected for involuntary separation will not be determined until the RIF process closes.

According to the Air Force, the decision to conduct a civilian RIF depends on whether each installation has a surplus number of employees, but these employees may not necessarily be placed for involuntary separation.

If affected, employees will receive notification at least 60 days prior to adverse action.

The USAFE-AFAFRICA Personnel Division is exploring all options to minimize the impact of the RIF and is researching incentive offers for surplus employ-

ees to voluntarily separate or retire, according to Monique Botting, USAFE-AFAFRICA Personnel Division chief.

“We are doing everything we can to ensure that our USAFE-AFAFRICA employees have multiple options available to them, so they can make the best decisions for their future,” she said. “We are here to assist in any way, especially since they are currently living overseas.”

Throughout the process, manpower specialists across the Air Force will continue to match selected civilians against vacancies for which they qualify in the local area and for potential stateside opportunities until separation.

If selected for separation due to the RIF, some employees may be eligible for a permanent change of station to their home of record.

Once separated, some civilians may have priority entitlements for re-employment for 12 months at their home of record location.

To meet the funding targets in the President’s fiscal 2012 budget, the Air Force was required to reduce more than 16,000 civilian positions.

The Air Force successfully reduced approximately 15,000 positions, minimizing adverse impact to civilian personnel; however, the service must implement its RIF authority, which will provide options to

help place most of the remaining surplus employees.

RIF procedures offer the Air Force greater flexibility in removing civilians from surplus positions by placing them at other positions on the installations while potentially retaining their grade or pay.

In addition, RIF procedures authorize eligible employees who cannot immediately be placed in local vacancies to be registered in the DOD Priority Placement Program.

The civilian reductions started in fiscal 2012 and are not related to the current sequestration actions.

21st TSC holds graduation for Lean Six Sigma black belts Story and photo by Staff Sgt. Warren W. Wright Jr. 21st Theater Sustainment Command Public Affairs The 21st Theater Sustainment Command formally recognized a graduating class of 12 newly trained Lean Six Sigma black belts during a ceremony April 18 on Panzer Kaserne.

The new black belts, nine of which are from the 21st TSC, will be responsible for implementing improvement projects within their organizations in order to increase customer satisfaction levels, productivity and to save money.

Throughout the course, the students “learned the full (problemsolving methodology),” said Maj. Chris Bachmann, the 21st TSC chief, Operations Research System Analysis section. “They learned a suite of tools that allows them to look at problems that fit the LSS methodology in order to improve processes within their organizations.”

Thomas Axtman, the deputy chief of current operations for the 21st TSC, said he learned quite a bit.

“I learned that there is a scientific way to validate what we may or not know by experience is in fact the correct answer. Now I have the calculations, the equations, and the process to scientifically validate

what is correct,” he said.

Bachmann agreed and said the class was very interesting.

“They asked questions, they were interested in what they were learning, and they were able to have a good time,” he said.

Having the ability to enjoy learning was an important part of the process, Bachmann said.

“When you’re digesting as much information as we teach in the class, and if you’re not having fun at the same time, it gets very tough,” he said.

During the four-week course, which was spread out over four months, the newly graduated black belt professionals learned valuable techniques and lessons which they can now take to their organizations to help save money and increase productivity.

“LSS is a great process-management tool that fosters a culture of continuous improvement with a holistic process and methodology that maximizes collective solutions and value by achieving improvements in cost, quality, process speed, and resource utilization. This process is especially important, given our current fiscally constrained environment,” said Col. Barry Diehl, the chief of staff for the 21st TSC. “This is the first performance improvement initiative that I’ve seen that really makes a difference and

really has an impact,” Axtman said.

“Now my long-term goal is to assist the 21st TSC and the Army by taking on these challenges and helping them to be more efficient and less wasteful in a way that makes more sense.”

The graduates represent the first ever black belt certification course which was organized and sponsored by the 21st TSC. “For the short term at least, the 21st TSC is going to be the hub of LSS training within the (U.S. Army Europe) footprint,” Bachmann said.

“This class had folks not only from the 21st TSC, but we also had folks from (Installation Management Command-

Europe), we had folks from NATO, and we had folks from USAREUR.” Bachmann added that the next class will have the same diversity.

“Not only will we have a lot of the staff sections from the 21st represented, but we will also have four individuals from different organizations within USAREUR and two from the Air Force that have signed up,” he said.

Bachmann said he believes it’s not good enough for organizations to just send their service members and employees to the training; they must also see the value in LSS and make its incorporation a priority for the organization.

Ground breaking marks construction of new fuel purging center

by Staff Sgt. Alexander A. Burnett 21st Theater Sustainment Command Public Affairs The Theater Logistics Support Center-Europe hosted a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the beginning of construction of a fuel purging center April 12 at the Kaiserslautern Army Depot.

The groundbreaking involved the traditional digging up the first shovel full of earth and was followed with a plaque presentation.

Included in the ceremonial digging were: Maj. Gen. Aundre F. Piggee, Helmut Haufe, Andreas Schepers, Norbert Hoebel, Donna L. Street and Paul Lindemer.

After digging up the dirt,

Street, the chief of the engineering and construction division, Army Corps of Engineers, presented Piggee, the commanding general of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, with a plaque to mark the occasion.

“This project is going to increase the readiness of our Soldiers and compensate for a facility we were using but had to be closed,” Piggee said. “Fortunately, we have the resources in order to make this project a reality, especially during a time of sequestration.”

All vehicles being retrograded or serviced by the TLSC-E must be purged of fuel, a service originally performed in Mannheim, Germany.

With the closing of military installations, the facility that purged vehicles also closed.

Since then, contractors were

used to perform this service.

“This facility will enable us to perform fuel purging on fuel tank trailers and Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Trucks right here in Kaiserslautern,” said Frank Bernhard, the special assistant to the general manager of the TLSC-E. “This station will keep units ready while saving the Army money.”

The fuel purging station

will be completed in March 2014.

“This facility is the result of efforts from the Theater Logistics Sustainment Center Europe, Army Corps of Engineers and the LBB (Landesbetrieb),” Piggee said. “I am confident that this facility will be completed on time, and we will continue our great support to U.S. Army Europe.”

Don’t get burned — Barbecue safety tips

by Tech. Sgt. Jason Lewis 886th Civil Engineer Squadron The National Fire Protection Association and Ramstein KMC Fire Department remind grilling enthusiasts and basic backyard cooks to remember grilling safety as the outdoor cooking season heats up.

On average, U.S. fire departments respond to 7,900 home fires annually involving grills, hibachis or barbecues, causing 120 reported injuries and $80 million in property damage.

Before you step out on your back patio to begin, there are a few steps you must take to ensure your propane or charcoal barbecue grill is in safe, good working order.

Fire up the grill, not the deck!

• Propane and charcoal barbecue grills must only be used outdoors.

If used indoors, or in any enclosed spaces, such as tents, they pose both a fire hazard and the risk of exposing occupants to toxic gases and potential asphyxiation.

• Position grills well away from siding, deck railing, trees, leaves, brush and overhanging foliage.

• Do not place the grill in high-traffic areas; keep them in a safe distance from lawn games and play areas.

• Keep children and pets away from the grill area.

• Use long-handled grilling tools to give the cook plenty of clearance from heat and flames.

• Periodically, remove grease or fat buildup in trays below the grill so it cannot be ignited by a hot grill.

• Set the grill on stable ground to keep it from toppling over.

Charcoal Grills • Purchase the proper starter fluid and store it out of reach of children and away from heat sources.

• Never add charcoal starter fluid when coals or kindling have already been ignited, and never use any flammable or combustible liquid other than charcoal starter fluid to get the fire going.

• When you are finished grilling, let the coals completely cool before disposing in a metal container and remember to store your charcoal in a cool, dry place to keep it from getting wet.

Propane grills Check the propane cylinder hose for leaks before using it for the first time each year. A light soap and water solution applied to the hose will reveal escaping propane quickly by releasing bubbles. If you determine your grill has a gas leak by smell or the soapy bubble test and there is no flame, follow the listed steps: • Turn off the propane tank and grill.

• If the leak stops, get the grill serviced by a professional before using it again.

• If the leak does not stop, call the

fire department.

If you smell gas while cooking, immediately get away from the grill and call the fire department (112). Do not attempt to move the grill.

For more information, call

the KMC fire prevention office at 480-5940. On Landstuhl, Rhine Ordnance Barracks or Pulaski, call the Army fire prevention office at 493-4500. In case of emergency, dial 112.

KMCC hosts Drug Take-Back Day From the 86th Medical Group pharmacy The 86th Medical Group pharmacy will participate in the National Prescription Drug TakeBack Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Kaiserslautern Military Community Center food court.

The event provides the public an opportunity to prevent medication abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescriptions.

For those who are unable to participate during this time, the 86th MDG pharmacy offers daily disposal of prescriptions through their permanent take-back drop box located in the lobby of the pharmacy. All Army pharmacy facilities in Europe take back discontinued, unwanted or expired prescription medications for disposal during regular pharmacy business hours. These services are free and anonymous, no questions asked.

The Drug Enforcement Administration conducts two National Prescription Drug TakeBack Days per year. Last September, Americans turned in 244 tons of prescription drugs at more

than 5,200 sites. This is the sixth time the 86th MDG has participated in the National Drug Take-Back initiative. Last year, a total of 31 Air Force locations collectively received more than 2,500 pounds of unwanted and unused medications.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs.

Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, patients are now advised that their usual methods for disposal of unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash — both pose potential safety and health hazards.

This event ensures medications are properly disposed of, minimizes impact on the environment and allows our homes and community to become safer.

LRS implements new e-process for GMV licensing

by Staff Sgt. Melanie McBride 86th Vehicle Readiness Squadron Don’t you hate it when you’re trying to get something you need for your job and you have to travel between multiple work centers to get it?

The reasons for travel can vary: improper paperwork, missing signatures or simply a lack of process knowledge.

To alleviate redundancy and confusion, the 86th Vehicle

Readiness Squadron utilized Air Force Smart Operations for the 21st Century principles and implemented a new e-licensing process.

The 86th VRS issues approximately 3,000 government motor vehicle licenses annually.

This means that 3,000 Airmen, host nation and government employees per year made separate trips to the vehicle operations flight to get a new GMV license accomplished.

If anything was wrong with

the paperwork, the individual was sent away for training or to rework the documentation. It is easy to comprehend the frustration of the customer when they would be forced to fight for parking and make multiple trips between offices; we’ve all been there!

Starting in late 2012, the vehicle operations flight office of records and licensing developed a new electronic program designed to greatly reduce the time a

customer and vehicle control officer spend coordinating a GMV license and mitigate the amount of processing errors involved from cradle to grave.

The process is simple; the unit VCO verifies the customer’s state license and ID card information and ensures proper training was accomplished prior to sending an electronic request to OR&L. Shortly thereafter, OR&L will email the license back to the VCO. The VCO can then

print and issue the license to the member and send them on their way. The entire process remains within the unit, encouraging simplicity and familiarity.

In today’s budget environment, all Airmen have to be forward thinking and encourage an atmosphere of continuous process improvement. Despite the high operations tempo and consistent demands, VRS continues to seek out efficiencies and make innovation a top priority.

7th CSC hosts 105th USAR birthday celebration Story and photos by Sgt. 1st Class Matthew Chlosta 7th Civil Support Command Public Affairs The U.S. Army Reserve’s 7th Civil Support Command hosted a ceremony Tuesday at the Kaiserslautern Military Community Center food court to recognize and celebrate the U.S. Army Reserve’s 105th birthday.

Soldiers from various 7th CSC units also conducted equipment demonstrations, established informational display tables and answered questions from patrons.

For more than 100 years, the USAR has been, at times, a strategic force, and after Operation Iraqi Freedom it has shifted to become an enduring operational force. The force was originally called the Medical Reserve Corps when it was signed into law by President Theodore Roosevelt.

According to www.usar.army.mil, the National Defense Act of June 3,

1916, established the Officers Reserve Corps, then on June 4, 1920, the NDA established the Organized Reserve.

USAR Soldiers have been deployed to and participated in every major U.S. war and engagement from the Mexican “Punitive” Expedition in 1916 to World War I from 1917 to 1918 and World War II from 1941 to 1945.

Staff Sgt. Brett Fry, 7th CSC network operations specialist, served four years in the regular Army and nine months as an Army Reserve Soldier. For the last seven years, he has served on active duty as part of Active Guard and Reserve program.

“The U.S. Army Reserves is a great opportunity for people to serve their country,” he said. “In addition to that, the U.S. Army Reserve is an integral part of the U.S. Army and cyber defense.”

According to www.usar.army.mil, the Organized Reserve was redesignated as the Organized Reserve

Corps on March 25, 1948. The Korean War (1950 to 1953) saw more than 240,000 Army Reserve Soldiers called to active duty. More than 70 Army Reserve units served in Korea.

“In the AGR program and the U.S. Army Reserves, in general, the duty positions are more diverse than in the regular Army,” Fry said.

On July 9, 1952, Congress officially established the USAR and the Organized Reserve was deactivated.

The USAR also deployed significant amounts of Soldiers to the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, Desert Shield/ Desert Storm, to Bosnia-Kosovo, and to Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.

“A good analogy of how the U.S. Army Reserve works is the volunteer fire department,” said Brig. Gen. Paul M. Benenati, commanding general of the 7th CSC, in a speech before cutting the Army Reserve birthday cake with the youngest and oldest Soldiers in the 7th CSC.

During his remarks Benenati said that during World War II, U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers liberated Kaiserslautern, the local German town where 7th CSC is currently headquartered on Daenner Kaserne.

“Now, the Army Reserve is a valuable, indispensable part of the Army,” Benenati said.

In today’s asymmetrical and ambiguous warfare environment where there are less visible front lines, the 7th CSC mission is focused on foreign consequence management in the event of a humanitarian crisis in Europe or Africa.

“I think that the Army Reserve is very important. It’s kind of the best of both worlds,” said Spc. David Phinney, a human resource specialist with the 406th Human Resource Company, 7th CSC. “It gives a person an opportunity to do what they love to do in and outside of the military. Onehundred-and-five years of an opportunity like that is a really great thing.”

409th Contracting Support Brigade selects top Soldier NCO

by Rachel Clark 409th Contracting Support Brigade GRAFENWÖHR, Germany — Staff Sgt. Booker Jordan, 903rd Contingency Contracting Battalion, was named the 409th Contracting Support Brigade NCO of the year for the second consecutive year.

The 409th CSB held its annual NCO of the Year competition here March 19 to 21.

Command Sgt. Maj. Bentura Fernandez, from the 409th CSB, this competition showcased the best of the best and prepared the top NCO to represent the 409th CSB at the Army Contracting Command level.

“The Soldiers in this competition represent what I believe the future of the contracting NCO corps should look like,” Fernandez said.

“Besides their physical ability and outstanding Soldier skills, these NCOs have the mental acumen to represent

Army contracting and embody the complete package of an outstanding NCO.” Competitors spent three days facing a variety of physical and mental challenges to test their skills, knowledge and endurance. They tested their Army aptitude, contracting knowledge, physical fitness, warrior tasks and battle drills relevant to today’s operating environment. They also faced board interviews and wrote essays.

For Jordan, going before the NCO board presented him with the greatest challenge.

“This year, I was the last competitor going in,” Jordan said. “As each person went into the board, I was left with my thoughts, which increased my nervousness.”

Competitors were also rated on their marksmanship and land navigation skills during day and night land navigation, proved their mettle in a grueling road march, and tested

SecAF discusses Airmen’s morale

by Jim Garamone American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON — Deployed Airmen are ready and motivated, but those based in the U.S. face fiscal challenges that sap morale, Air Force Secretary Michael B. Donley said here today.

“The Airmen that we send downrange are well-trained — they are pumped,” Donley told the Defense Writers Group. “There’s no doubt they are doing what they signed up to do in the military. They are doing their jobs in a combat environment.”

Donley, the longest-serving Air Force leader, said he has been struck by how connected and educated the force is.

“I can go downrange to an Airman’s call at Bagram (Airfield, Afghanistan) and get questions on sequestration,

Air Force Secretary Michael B. Donley

or tuition assistance or the retirement plan,” he said.

Airmen are connected, and they follow what defense leaders and Congress are doing, the secretary said.

“They know we are living through

challenging times,” he added.

In his experience, Donley said, this “connectedness” is a change for airmen that has had an effect across the institution. Airmen listen when Congress talks about sequestration or budget cuts that last 10 years, he said.

For many of the younger airmen, he noted, this is their first experiences with a constrained fiscal environment.

“Those who have been in 20 to 30 years know there are ups and downs,” he said.

Airmen also know the Air Force faces huge modernization challenges, the secretary said.

“Equipment they are operating is beyond what we thought its service life was going to be,” he said. “And they know that the training environment they come back to ... is not as robust and not as demanding as it used to be.”

Donley took over as acting Air Force secretary in June 2008 after then-Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates asked for then-Air Force Secretary Michael W. Wynne to resign over concern about the Air Force’s focus and performance in its nuclear mission. That was a low point for morale in the Air Force, Donley said, adding that he believes morale has risen overall since then.

“Airmen downrange are performing magnificently,” he said. “Air Force men and women know they are making a difference in the lives of those who serve on the ground.”

The Air Force is key to operations in Afghanistan and around the world, Donley added.

“The Air Force is providing a lot of glue to hold current joint and coalition operations together,” he said.

Airman, author: A novel idea

by Senior Airman Aaron-Forrest Wainwright 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs Airmen have a variety of ways to express their creativity. Some build, play music, take photographs, but one Ramstein Airman shows off his creativity by writing novels.

Capt. Bart Hopkins, 435th Air Ground Operations Wing meteorologist, wrote his first novel during back-to-back deployments to Bosnia.

“I found myself with more spare time while I was deployed than I do at home,” Hopkins said. “The absence of daily family activities like soccer games, scouts and school assemblies freed up

hours of each day.”

The book was co-authored with his friend, David Elliott, who Hopkins had met in 1995 while stationed at Ft. Campbell, Ky. The majority of his first book was written while he was in Bosnia in 2001 and 2002. They were able to pick it back up in 2011 and get it published last year.

“I prefer to be with my family but when that isn’t possible, having something positive to do that I love, such as writing, helps pass the time,” Hopkins said.

Hopkins is originally from Galveston, Texas, but has lived in Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee and South Korea before being stationed here.

“My dad exposed me to books early in my life, which cultivated my passion for reading. The jump from being a reader to being a writer seemed like the most natural extension of something I

already loved,” Hopkins said.

“Life is amazing and I find inspiration and ideas everywhere. Taking ideas and creating stories that people hopefully enjoy, is simply incredible, almost indescribable.

There’s not much I’d rather do.”

Hopkins is now halfway finished with a first draft of his next novel, which he might get published in September.

oldiers and Department of the Army civilians assigned to the 21st Theater Sustainment Command’s 21st Special Troops Battalion completed most of the Army’s annual mandatory training requirements with a training stand-down week, April 15 through 19.

“Making this a reality required an abundance of coordination between local organizations, tenant units and U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern. The garrison and its organizations provided a lot of the classes we needed,” said Master Sgt. Kory Ysen, the 21st STB operations NCO. “By conducting this stand-down week, we improved the overall readiness of the 21st TSC.” Command Soldiers worked diligently throughout the week to provide opportunities to every member of the “First in Support” command to complete the requirements.

tests twice daily on Rhine Ordnance Barracks to accommodate any schedule. Immediately after completing the APFT, Soldiers conducted height and weight screenings and personnel asset inventory.

“The training week was done in a very effective manner,” said Sgt. 1st Class Ivan Narvaez, the construction operations NCO for the 21st TSC. “By offering the APFT and training every day, no matter what the Soldier’s schedule was, they were able to complete every task.”

The training week included daily classroom briefings running from 7 a.m. through 4 p.m. either at the Galaxy Theater on Vogelweh Military Complex or the Daenner Chapel on Daenner Kaserne.

Classes were taught by subject matter experts in sexual harassment assault response and prevention, child abuse and family advocacy, Army Substance Abuse Program, resiliency, Law of War, suicide prevention, force protection, fraternization, and equal opportunity.

qualification on the M-16A2 rifle or M9 pistol everyday at the 7th Army Training Command’s Breitenwald Range, near Landstuhl. Every firer went through the zero process to align their sites properly and a qualification range on paper targets.

Only meters away from the weapons ranges was the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear chamber. Soldiers received instruction on the proper wear of their Mission Oriented Protective Posture gear and their protective masks. After the class, physically capable Soldiers were required to enter the chamber.

“By making Soldiers run through the chamber, it instills confidence in their equipment while simulating what it might be like to operate in a contaminated environment,” said Sgt. 1st Class Daryle Rogers, the CBRN operations NCO for the 21st TSC. “This whole week has been a great experience I think. It allowed everyone to complete their required training in an effective and time efficient manner.”

Meet Ramstein’s friendly gelato man Story and photo by Airman 1st Class Dymekre Allen 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs Fabio Montebello, known by base locals as “Fabio the gelato man,” is the base ice cream man who travels more than an hour from Worms, Germany, every day to deliver frozen treats to Team Ramstein.

“Driving around seeing the smiles on all the familiar faces is what makes the job worth it,” Montebello said. “The money seems not to matter anymore when you can have so many people you can call your friends.”

Fabio has been churning this handmade treat since he was 19 years old and has been delivering here for more than 16 years.

Fabio said he found his love for ice cream with the help of his father and stepmother, who are also in the business of frozen goods. His stepmother owns an ice cream shop, and his father dedicated more than 30 years of his life to ice cream.

“When I’m 80 I’ll still love this job,” he said. “As long as the installation will let me, I’ll always provide the best gelato.”

Fabio could be considered a base celebrity with the amount of faithful customers he’s obtained over the years.

“He’s just a nice guy. I have a banana split from him almost every day,” said Helen Barkorts, Ramstein High School student. “It’s nice to see him around all the time.”

Among Fabio’s 17 different flavors, the favorite of most customers seems to be the “spaghetti ice.”

Spaghetti ice is a scoop of ice cream of your choice followed by three scoops put through a strainer that

stays true to its name. It is then topped with whipped cream, peanuts or coconuts, and a strawberry sauce that Fabio prepares fresh every day.

“It’s creative, you know,” Montebello said.

“People hear the name and assume it’s not something you put on ice cream, but when they see it and try it, they can’t have enough.”

It’s his imagination that draws in customers and his never-say-no attitude that keeps them coming back.

“It’s about the people even though I may not be turning a profit,” Montebello said. “Rain, sleet or snow, I’ll be there for my customers.”

Being on base for so long, Fabio has seen many of the base’s Airmen come and go, but he said it’s those lasting relationships that mean the most.

“I’d like to thank everyone for their support and appreciating what I do, because I definitely appreciate and respect what you guys do,” he said.

VES students mark Earth Day with letters to editor To commemorate Earth Day April 22, and throughout the week, students at Vogelweh Elementary School participated in several environmentally friendly projects, including a schoolwide cleanup project. As a special assignment, one group of fourth graders composed letters to the editor, some of which are printed here.

Other letters are available online at our newly improved website at www. kaiserslauternamerican.com.

DEAR EDITOR, I am writing about why litter is awful for Vogelweh and the earth.

Litter is terrible for Vogelweh because it makes the streets, our homes, and school grounds look dirty. When people throw trash away in trash cans with no lids the trash will blow away and can go into a lake or ocean. Also, some people don’t even throw trash in the garbage cans and people have to pick up after them.

Litter in Vogelweh can affect fish and other sea creatures. If trash blows into the ocean or lake they can eat it, get sick, and even die. Trash can hurt animals by polluting nature and some animals might die out. Over 80% of marine pollution comes from land based activities according to World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

If we throw away waste on land it

can damage our soil and water sources. Trash and chemicals can affect people, because the soil and water are poisoned. This means we can’t drink the water or eat the food that comes from the ground.

Some of my friends at Vogelweh picked up three bags of trash around the grounds of Vogelweh Elementary.

The problem is that there is too much litter. But I have a solution.

I suggest that if a student picks up a piece of trash they should be awarded a “caught being good” ticket. Also there is an event coming up for Earth Day, and I think students should go around school picking up trash and then make a craft out of the stuff they found.

I just read the Kaiserslatern American (KA for short) and saw the announcement for annual spring clean up. They are having a community clean up so our base won’t look dirty and ugly. And this will help our environment so animals won’t get harmed by trash from Vogelweh.

Sincerely, Gracyn Redding DEAR EDITOR, I am writing because I am concerned about pollution. It is bad because over 1 million seabirds and 100,000 sea mammals are killed by pollution each

year. Also every day that a ship sits at dock unloading it releases a ton of smog and toxic, yes TOXIC, pollution. On base people have been going on base have been going into stores and leaving their cars on releasing deadly gases into the atmosphere.

My plan to stop this is to post posters around base to stop pollution.

Sincerely, Taylor Bynum DEAR EDITOR, Earth day is where you would clean

up your community. You would clean up the floors your house and the wall.

We could start from 9:30 to 12:00.

You would clean up like canes and paper. People that are older than 60 they can stay home. We should also be off of school and work. So when we work on picking up the trash we could have a break from 11:00 to 11:15. Litter is one kind pollution.

Crowds of people often leave lots of litter behind.

Sincerely, Anthony Williams

New procedures for Ramstein Bazaar food vendor applicants

by Susan Sharpe Ramstein Welfare Bazaar

P

reparations for the 49th annual Ramstein Welfare Bazaar have already begun. Mark your calendars for Sept. 12 to 15.

This year, the bazaar committee has announced a new food vendor selection process for private organizations that would like to participate. Food vendors will now be chosen on a first come, first serve basis.

Ramstein private organizations that are registered with the 86th Force Support Squadron can now print an application and rules from the Ramstein Officers’ Spouses Club website.

The committee will set up at the Ramstein Officers’ Club from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. May 14 in the Wings Lounge. Lines will start forming at the front door of the club. Representatives from interested private organizations should bring their completed paperwork to the club that morning with a check for $185 to reserve a space.

The 49th annual Ramstein Welfare Bazaar is holding food vendor selections May 14 at the Ramstein Officers’ Club.

Private organizations that are chosen as alternates will also be required to submit a check for the space fee. This fee will be refunded if they do not ultimately participate in the bazaar. These checks will not be deposited until after the July 4 festivities.

The bazaar committee recommends organizations come prepared with a list of at least five different food items they would like to sell at the bazaar.

In order to provide customers with the greatest variety of food items, the committee will limit particular food items to one or two vendors (i.e. only two vendors will be allowed to sell hot dogs or bratwurst). Private organizations that arrive early will have the best chance of getting their top

choices. Organizations that are chosen must participate in mandatory food safety briefing, which will be held at the beginning of August. They will then be required to submit an additional check for $200 for the refundable cleaning fee.

Registered private organizations on Ramstein that have not already done their two yearly fundraisers are eligible to apply for a food vendor slot.

For more information or to download a form, go to the ROSC Bazaar website at www.ramsteinbazaar.org.

If you need additional information, click on the contact tab on the website, which will allow you to submit your questions.

Witches to play tricks Tuesday on ‘Hexennacht’

by Petra Lessoing 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs Germans observe their Labor Day on Wednesday.

May 1 is also a day to welcome spring and chase away the demons of winter the night before.

The night of April 30 is known as “Hexennacht,” or witches night. On Hexennacht, those living off base should keep a watchful eye on their houses and vehicles Tuesday night.

Customarily, children and teenagers play tricks on their neighbors. Tricks include doorbell-ditching, smearing mustard on door handles, hiding floor mats and trash cans, removing garden gates, and wrapping cars in toilet paper.

To be on the safe side, residents should take some precautionary measures, such as parking their cars in the garage and bringing their belongings inside.

Sometimes, older children or adults do destructive things like lifting drainage covers in the middle of the road or moving traffic signs.

Because of this, motorists are asked to be very careful keep a close eye out. These actions create safety hazards and result in property damage.

German police will patrol the neighborhoods Tuesday night and take appropriate action if necessary.

Legend says that during Hexennacht, evil ghosts represented by cold weather, snow and darkness met with witches and demons at Blocksberg hill in the Harz mountains. There, they got into mischief before they took off on broomsticks, pitchforks and billy goats at midnight.

The origin of witches night goes back to pagan times, when people believed evil ghosts tried to prevent the “Queen of Spring” from

entering the country. Witches and demons were masters of people and things, so people did a lot to protect themselves.

They hid billy goats and broomsticks so witches would not be able to ride on them through the night and do evil things. It was an unwritten law that chil-

dren must not get beaten with a broomstick, because it could be a witch’s tool.

Also, socks were put cross-shaped on children’s beds, pentagrams were put over house entrances, or sacred salt was scattered over the threshold.

Residents used several herbs known to ban witches to smoke out houses and stables. Herbs included rue, St. John’s wort and juniper.

Men made a lot of noise with whips and gun shots and lit fires to scare away demons. Cattle was driven

through the fire to secure its fertility for the following year, and young couples jumped over the fire to make sure their love would last forever.

Witches night is also called “Walpurgis” night.

Walpurga was an English saint who worked as a missionary in Germany in the eighth century.

In 761, she became the abbess of a monastery in Heidenheim, which was founded by her two brothers, Willibald and Wunibald, who also were saints. She was known for exorcising demons from the bodies of the sick. Walpurga died in 779, and on May 1, 871, her body was transported to Eischstäett to be reburied next to her brothers.

Another German tradition to observe the beginning of May is to “dance into May.” Various associations and sports clubs sponsor “Tanz in den Mai” with live music in community halls, sports gyms, gasthauses or other facilities that house dancing halls.

In several villages in the KMC, the May tree will be put up the evening of April 30 or on the morning of May 1. Sometimes, this ceremony is combined with a village fest.

The May tree usually is a fir with its lower branches stripped and only the treetop untouched.

The pole is decorated with colorful ribbons and craftsmen’s trade ornaments like sausages for the butchers, pretzels for the bakers, or carved wooden figures. May poles symbolize the beginning of spring and hope for a good harvest.

The legal holiday of Labor Day commemorates May 1, 1890, when the day was proclaimed as the day of the working class by the first international workers’ congress in Paris. It was a day to fight for an eight-hour workday and other working-class rights. Trade unions and workers meet for assemblies, demonstrations and political speeches.

Avignon: historical hotspot of France

by Meghan Augsburger Ramstein High School intern Visiting the provence and the French city of Avignon is like experiencing a time warp. Founded on hundreds of years of history, the entire region reflects its ancient heritage through its architecture and culture. One could say it’s a true “Roman holiday.”

City Attractions Tracing its roots beyond the Roman Empire, Avignon developed its culture from many different influences. Its strongest architectural features resemble those of the papal era between 1309 and 1376.

One of the most popular sites in the city stems from the papal time period.

Located near the center of Avignon, the Palais des Papes (Pope’s Palace) is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site with plenty of historical chambers to discover.

English audio guides are recommended for those who do not read or speak French.

Pont Saint Bénezet, a portion of a 12th century bridge, attracts many tourists as well.

Directly next to the palace is the Cathédrale d’Avignon, a magnificent church built during the 12th century.

Located within the cathedral are the tomb of Pope John XXII and papal robes and relics, dating back hundreds of years.

Across the Rhône River is Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, a small town that has several interesting attractions.

At the top of the town stands Fort Saint André. It offers breathtaking views of Avignon and a beautiful garden to admire.

Down below is a monastery called

the Chartreuse du Val de Bénédiction that features a replica of a monk’s living quarters, frescoes and a unique church that has one missing wall.

A special exhibit has been placed inside the church to provide images of how it would have looked hundreds of years ago with its wall.

Avignon has plenty of museums to visit, too. Many provide art exhibits while others focus on regional specialties such as lavender, wine, soap and perfume.

Sightseeing Outside of Avignon Roman ruins are scattered around Southern France and are perfect for quick excursions. Cities such as Orange, Nimes and Arles integrated Roman architecture into modern day society.

Orange houses one of the three intact theater walls of the Roman Empire. The remaining two are located in Syria and Turkey.

Within the theater wall, two columns and a statue of the emperor still stand, adding to the historical atmosphere. While in the city, don’t miss the Roman triumphal arch, covered in intricate carvings and designs.

Arles, the town made famous by Van Gogh’s paintings, also features a variety of Roman monuments. Near Arles’ city center is the arena, which still hosts bullfighting events, and the amphitheater ruins.

For art enthusiasts, the city of Arles offers walking routes that pass famous sites that Van Gogh painted.

On the outskirts of the town, there is a Roman graveyard called Les Alyscamps. In Arles, the Romans did not bury their dead. Instead, they were placed in stone coffins and left above ground.

The Arles arena has remained intact over the years and is used for bullfighting events.

Photos by Meghan Augsburger

The Pont du Gard was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985.

For more than 100 years, the papacy was located in the city of Avignon.

When the city was pillaged, the sarcophagi were destroyed or used as feed troughs. Now, portions of these coffins lie broken along the pathway to the church, which was built in the 12th century.

Nimes features an amphitheater that has been well preserved, representing a smaller version of the Colosseum in Rome. The Maison Carree, an ancient Roman temple, also lasted through the ages and can still be admired in its original form.

The most astonishing sight located only 30 minutes from Avignon is the Pont du Gard, an ancient Roman aqueduct. The three-tiered masterpiece of hydraulic engineering is an ideal location for taking beautiful photos.

Parking at the Pont du Gard costs €18, which covers the admission price for the museum. Inside the museum, interactive exhibits on the purpose of the aqueduct and how it affected Roman life are available and perfect for families.

If planning on visiting more than once, it is worth it to buy a yearlong pass for €23, which covers the cost of parking.

The Camargue, a popular national park region, is covered in natural wetlands, fostering many different types of animals such as wild horses and bulls. It takes around one hour and 20 minutes to drive to the park.

Along the road to Sainte Marie de la Mer, a small vacation town by the Mediterranean Sea, there are plenty of horse riding ranches and places to stop and admire nature.

Another beautiful attraction is the Camargue Ornithological Park, a sanctuary for native birds such as flamingos and herons. For those wishing to see more birds, horses or bulls in their natural habitats, there is a boat tour that travels straight through the wetlands.

Gastronomy Mirroring Italian cuisine, Provencal dishes use plenty of olive oil, garlic and vegetable bases. Ratatouille, a vegetable stew, is served at most restaurants. Full of zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers and tomatoes, the stew is used as a side dish, filling or full meal.

Common sauces added to dishes include aioli, a type of garlic mayonnaise, and anchovy paste.

At many restaurants, Provencal as well as traditional dishes are listed.

Escargot (snails with parsley and garlic), Crouqe Monsier (grilled ham and cheese sandwich), a variety of baguettes, and different wine-based stews are commonly found on menus.

Due to its close proximity to the sea, cuisine often features different kinds of fish. Bouillabaisse, a popular Provencal soup, is made with various types of fish, onions, tomatoes, saffron and Herbes de Provence.

Herbes de Provence, a commonly used herb mixture, contains dried basil, marjoram, thyme, savory, rosemary and sage.

Though traditionally classified as Spanish cuisine, Paella is also commonly served in cafes and restaurants in southern France.

Delicacies of the Camargue region include Fleur de Sel (sea salt), wild rice and dishes containing bull meat.

Baumholder stands up high speed data network Story and photo by Ignacio “Iggy” Rubalcava U.S. Army Garrison Baumholder Public Affairs

B

aumholder stood up a new data network recently that increases the speed and efficiency of network users in Baumholder. The project upgraded and expanded the voice and data communication systems for the entire installation and brought the quartermaster and clinic areas onto the fiber network.

The Installation Information Infrastructure Modernization Program, or I3MP, upgraded Baumholder’s capacity and reliability of voice and data infrastructure.

“It was really a huge effort, upgrading and growing the voice and data network, but the increased capability, reliability and trustworthiness of the network made it more than worth it,” said Lorinda Risley, I3MP lead for the Network Enterprise Center.

Siemens Government Technologies Inc. was the contracted company responsible for upgrading Baumholder’s communication infrastructure. The company is a leading integrator of Siemens innovative technologies and solutions for mission-critical programs within the Departments of Defense, State and Homeland Security.

The $14 million project began with the first site survey in 2007. Actual construction started in late 2011, coming to completion in March.

The Network Enterprise Center migrated close to 300 network devices and 1,600 users to the new network within a 30 day period.

The installation is now set, from an information infrastructure standpoint for future customers and growth.

Lt. Col. Louis L. King, assistant product manager-Europe; Lt. Col. Nathan J. Bollinger, 102nd Signal Battalion commander; Lt. Col. Michael “Sully” Sullivan; and Bernhard Sandmaier, Nokia Siemens networks manager, team up for a ribbon cutting to commemorate the official completion of the Installation Information Infrastructure Modernization Program.

“With technology always improving, something had to be put in place that will allow all forms of communication flow and allow for future technologies to be rapidly incorporated into the network,” Risley said. “This fiber backbone supports high speed internet data, voice-over-Internet-protocol, video teleconferencing, security devices, and utility monitoring devices over long distances.

“The amount of cooperation and teamwork on

this project by all members of the community has been phenomenal,” Risley continued. “It was a pleasure working with such wonderful professionals and people that truly cared what was left behind for the community when the project was completed. I’m proud of what has been accomplished and of the team that has worked so hard. We are now ready to expand where needed and ensure our warfighters can train as they fight.”

Save tax on imported vehicles

by Robert Szostek U.S. European Command Customs Public Affairs

HEIDELBERG, Germany — U.S. personnel stationed overseas can ship vehicles to the U.S. free of federal tax and duty. This exemption means big savings if you meet three conditions. You must take physical possession of the vehicle prior to shipment, have valid PCS orders and import it for personal use. However, the exemption does not free you from state taxation.

“Most people who miss out on the exemption do not take physical possession of the vehicle before shipment,” said Mike Dean, director of the European Command’s Customs and Border Clearance Agency. “If you have a car shipped directly from the factory, you risk having to pay the 2.5 percent federal import duty.”

Registering a vehicle is the best way to show possession, but you can also prove it by simply putting a copy of your permanent change of station orders in the glove compartment.

Second, you must have a set of official PCS orders in hand before shipping a vehicle. The exemption is not for people on extended leave or temporary duty.

Third, the vehicle must be for your personal use or for use by immediate family members.

“If you had six dependents of driving age,” Dean said, “you could justify importing seven vehicles dutyfree; one for each of them and one for yourself.”

However, it is illegal to use the exemption to import vehicles for third

parties or in order to sell them.

People importing vehicles as part of a PCS can save federal duties and taxes, but state taxes on imported vehicles can be high. You can obtain state tax information from the relevant department of motor vehicles and Internet links to these can be found online at www.hqusareur.army.mil/rmv/ stateside_dmvs.htm.

Call a military customs office to find out more about federal customs exemptions or your local transportation office to learn about shipping procedures and fees.

At The Movies

Visit www.kaiserslauternamerican.com/movies.php for details Safe Haven (PG-13) — An affirming and suspenseful story about a young woman’s struggle to find love again after she arrives in a small North Carolina town. Her reluctance to join the tightknit community raises questions about her past. Slowly, she begins putting down roots, and gains the courage to start a relationship with Alex, a widowed store owner with two young children.

Starring Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel.

The Big Wedding (R) — “The Big Wedding” is an uproarious romantic comedy about a charmingly modern family try-

ing to survive a weekend wedding celebration that has the potential to become a full blown family fiasco. To the amusement of their adult children and friends, long divorced couple Don and Ellie Griffin are once again forced to play the happy couple for the sake of their adopted son’s wedding after his ultra conservative biological mother unexpectedly decides to fly halfway across the world to attend. With all of the wedding guests looking on, the Griffins are hilariously forced to confront their past, present and future.

Starring Amanda Seyfried and Robert De Niro.
