Team Ramstein hosts international jump week

by Airman 1st Class Trevor Rhynes 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Six countries provided more than 150 paratroopers to participate in International Jump Week hosted by the 435th Contingency Response Group from Sunday to today near Ramstein.

The paratroopers came from the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the U.S. Air Force and Army and jumped from two C-130J Super Hercules aircraft and one C-17 provided from the Heavy Airlift Wing from Papa Air Base, Hungary. “International Jump Week is an opportunity for U.S. and partner forces to get together for five or six days here,” said Col. Mark Visconi, 435th Contingency Response Group commander.

“We practiced jumps into Alzey, Germany, to trade tactics, techniques and procedures as well as build partnerships between multiple forces.”

The 435th CRG hosts the event with help from members of various Air Force and Army units in the area.

“The Contingency Response Group hosts this event, but we have members from all across the 435th Air Ground Operations Wing. There is a significant amount of planning between aircrews, and personnel,” Visconi said. “The 37th Airlift Squadron and the Heavy Airlift Wing brought the aircraft here. There’s also coordination with our See JUMP, Page 7

ing mission requirements and dwindling resources.

Breedlove comes to USAFE from Washington, D.C., where he served as vice chief of staff of the Air Force and was responsible for a broad set of requirements and responsibilities. He managed major acquisition programs, such as Joint Strike Fighter and the LongRange Strike Bomber. No matter the project, his focus remained on accomplishing

the Air Force mission in a constrained fiscal environment with limited resources.

“I think my past assignment will help me make decisions here at USAFE and also help me interact with our NATO partners” he said. “I have a good understanding of the priorities of the chief and secretary of the Air Force.”

The general said there will be no immediate changes in USAFE, but said his priorities

LIFESTYLES

Gen. Philip M. Breedlove, new U.S. Air Forces in Europe commander, outlined his priorities, vision, challenges and personal experiences during an interview Aug. 8 on Ramstein.

“I am so proud of this command — our Airmen have accomplished so much in these past three years,” said

Breedlove who left Ramstein in 2009 after serving as 3rd Air Force commander. “We have an incredibly huge mission here, taking care of two vastly different combatant commands in EUCOM and AFRICOM, on two huge continents spanning over 100 countries.”

As fiscal constraints continue to be a concern throughout the Air Force, USAFE leadership is faced with balanc-

fall into three areas: mission, Airmen and families.

“Mission is first. Secondly, I truly believe the Airmen are our primary weapon system.

Many nations in the world have great air forces; many nations in our world may rival us as our Air Force gets smaller, but no nation in the world has the Airmen that we have,” Breedlove said.

Commentary

Make the tough call

by Chief Master Sgt. Keith Pudlowski 86th Medical Group superintendent For years now, we have lived with and complained about inflated Enlisted Performance Reports that plague our rating system. It has been addressed as a failure of the rater to make the “tough call.”

The finger is continually pointed at those first-line supervisors for lack of fortitude in being reluctant to provide markdowns or reduced ratings. Raters are seen as the culprits and the entity that needs to right this wrong.

I have to say, sorry, but I beg to differ. We, as leaders, own respon-

sibility for the current state of our rating system. Leadership allowed ratings to get inflated; and through our reluctance to change perceptions have become a barrier to fixing the issue.

Raters have been conditioned by the feedback provided by leaders through the years, either verbally or implied. The onus is on leaders to have the philosophical change in how we view reports and to communicate that to the raters. Leaders have to be the ones to start making the “tough call,” and begin to accept that a markdown does not degrade the overall rating. A “4” EPR is “Above Average” and does not imply the Airman is a slug with problems.

Please don’t misread my message, I believe wholeheartedly in “Excellence in All We Do” as the goal and standard. In an organization with America’s finest, most dedicated and highly skilled men and women the rating system we should have, being labeled above average would still be pretty good and would warrant merit and not condemnation by one’s superiors.

I’m not advocating for a lessening of standards, only realistic ratings and perceptions based on those ratings.

Why is a “firewall 5” EPR viewed so drastically different from a “5” EPR with a markdown?

Are they not both “Truly Among the Best?” Why the enormous and

impacting disparity? Leaders have escalated the negativity associated with markdowns to the point that a markdown overshadows the actual overall rating. Raters wouldn’t be so hesitant to markdown Airmen if leaders accepted and focused more on the overall rating.

Why do we disapprove or request letters of justification for decorations on Airmen with consistent ratings of “5” on EPRs, but with markdowns? Aren’t the “5/Truly Among the Best” ratings not justification for rewarding their performance? Again, what message have we relayed to our raters when a markdown is interpreted so dramatSee CALL, Page 7

ACTION LINE

Speeding on Lawn Avenue issue answered Editor’s Note. The following commander’s action line question was edited for accuracy, brevity and clarity.

QUESTION: There is a continuing trend on Lawn Avenue, between Arnold Circle and Harmon Avenue (the main road adjacent to the bowling alley).

I’ve called law enforcement requesting assistance and informed them of this problem.

The response I get seems to be one of concern, but not priority. There is an issue with motorists exceeding the 30 km/h speed limit down that roadway, which is frequently crossed by pedestrians on a daily basis. Bike-patrol stings and posted squad cars have done little to dissuade excessive speeding down this roadway.

As a pedestrian, I cross this roadway multiple times a day for duty and I utilize the crosswalk directly in line with Bldg. 2108, to and from the Chili’s parking lot. I make a point of that because over the past year, I had five incidents of nearly being hit. I filed a complaint and reported the incident to security forces. I have fellow Airmen and customers daily who all had similar situations.

This driving attitude carries itself into the

adjoining parking lot where motorists drive in excess of 20 to 30 km/h. This issue is further complicated by the lack of a walking path between vehicles. Why can’t we put speed humps in this area?

I appreciate your attention to this matter. If I can be of any further assistance, please let me know.

RESPONSE: Thanks for bringing these safety items to our attention. Speed humps are considered a traffic-calming device, not a traffic-control device, and are used mainly for school zones and residential streets. They are not considered transit (routes for busses or trucks) or snow routes. A site must have a legitimate speeding problem verified by observation and radar surveys with the 85th percentile speed at least 5 mph (8 km/h) above the posted speed limit.

Lawn Avenue between Arnold Circle and Harmon Avenue is classified as a secondary roadway (non-residential). The posted speed limit is 30 km/h and the 85th percentile is 32 km/h. The average daily traffic flow is 4,698 vehicles with 16 percent being truck traffic.

route. Data collected indicated the average gap time between vehicles was 30.70 seconds, well above the eight second minimum required for pedestrians to cross the street. Based on data collected and the guidelines provided, speed humps will not be used. However, 86th Civil Engineer Squadron will add crosswalk signage at both crosswalk locations.

Once the new signage is installed, CE will monitor the traffic along Lawn Avenue again.

The parking lot for Bldg. 2140 is a multi-use parking lot with no definitive destination.

Two crosswalks across the length of the parking lot would eliminate much needed parking stalls. The speed limit for these parking lots is 15 km/h as specified in AWI 31-201 chapter 4.2.2. Security forces will engage with those driving in excess of the posted speed limit.

CE will add reminder speed limit signs at the entrances along with speed limit markings on the pavement. The Ramstein Air Base traffic engineer will monitor the situation and keep in contact with 86th Security Forces Squadron and 86th Force Support Squadron with regards to future issues or concerns with the Bldg. 2140 parking lot.

COMMANDER, from Page 1

Taking care of the Airmen to enable, train and equip them properly will be one of his focuses, he said. He believes that to accomplish the mission and be an effective Airman, individuals must have their personal priorities in order, and, he said, that begins with the family.

After 33 years of marriage to his wife Cindy, Breedlove developed a mantra that he’s coveted for most of his career.

“The family was before the Air Force, the family was during the Air Force, and the family is after the Air Force,” he said. “Family is permanent and the Air Force is temporary.”

With family needs met, the mission takes care of itself, he added.

The Breedloves are no strangers to Europe. This is their seventh tour to the continent, and their fifth tour to Germany. He’s served as commander, 31st Fighter Wing, Aviano Air Base, Italy; vice commander, 16th Air Force, Ramstein AB, Germany; and commander 3rd AF. His first assignment to Germany with the Air Force was as a captain, F-16 Falcon pilot.

“Captain Breedlove was really focused on being an incredible F-16 pilot,” Breedlove reminisced. “As I come back, it’s not my job to be the ace on the base anymore; it’s my job to organize, train and equip our force to ensure our Airmen meet the demands of both AFRICOM and EUCOM.”

Page 3

Breedlove will don several hats in his tenure as the USAFE commander. He is in command of U.S. Air Forces Africa and the Allied Air Command and is the director of Joint Air Power Competence Center.

He said he understands the importance of maintaining a fair balance between work and life, and credits his wife for keeping him grounded and focused on their children. A southern gentleman at heart, Breedlove was born and raised in Atlanta, Ga. “Fried okra, cream corn and sliced red tomatoes,” he said, smiling as he stated his favorite meal. As a Georgia Tech graduate, he spoke on how he thought his Yellow Jackets would fare this football season.

“I will tell you that every year Georgia Tech faces challenges, and they just seem to keep having winning seasons, and keep getting to the bowl games,” he said.

“While they play great football, I am more proud that they graduate a lot of people with engineering degrees who go on to do something other than football.”

Besides football, Breedlove enjoys riding motorcycles. He owns a Harley-Davidson Street Glide and plans to take trips when time permits.

“Motorcycling is a part of my family,” he said.

“It’s a passion of mine, but more importantly is my passion for motorcycle safety.”

He admits that motorcycle riding can be dangerous, and encourages Airmen to wear protective equipment properly and receive proper training.

Gen. Philip M. Breedlove is interviewed by American Forces Network, Aug. 8 on Ramstein. Breedlove is now commander of U.S. Air Forces in Europe, U.S. Air Forces Africa and Allied Air Command Ramstein.

“The only way to be an old man like me riding a motorcycle is to ride a motorcycle like an old man,” he said.

In his change of command, he acknowledged the changes he’s seen USAFE Airmen undergo, and said he was blown away by how they accomplished missions in Libya and handled other conflicts.

“I am jealous for not having been here while we conducted missions in places like Libya,” he said.

“Day to day, our Airmen do incredible work, and I am proud to be back on the team.”

Welsh ‘humbled’ to serve as AF chief of staff

by Tech. Sgt. Shawn J. Jones Air Force Public Affairs Agency JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. (AFNS) — The Air Force chief of staff flag passed to the service’s 20th chief in a ceremony here Aug. 10.

Gen. Mark A. Welsh III, a 36-year Airman, stepped into the position, taking over for Gen. Norton Schwartz, who also retired from the Air Force during the ceremony.

“Mark is respected throughout the Air Force for his exceptional leadership and ability to connect with Airmen,” Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley said.

Raised in an Air Force family, Welsh said he found a role model in his father, a decorated combat pilot.

“Today, I think he’d be proud of me,” Welsh said.

“And any day a kid can make his dad proud is a great day.”

Welsh emphasized the need for Airmen to understand the importance of the other services in joint operations, but also said Airmen shouldn’t underestimate the combat capabilities of their own service in

winning today’s fight.

“No one else can bring what we bring to the fight, and any real warfighter knows that,” he said. “Don’t ever doubt yourself or this service.

Welsh also addressed his stance on issues affecting the well-being of Airmen.

“When it comes to Airman resiliency, suicide prevention, and sexual assault prevention and response, I believe you’re either part of the solution or you’re part of the problem,” he said. “There is no middle ground.”

Welsh also said the Air Force must shape the future and that will require innovative thinking and different approaches to problems, along with modernization.

Welsh was nominated by the president May 10 and confirmed by the Senate on Aug. 2.

In his previous position as the commander of U. S. Air Forces in Europe, he was in charge of Air Force activities in an area of operations covering nearly one-fifth of the globe.

Welsh, a 1976 graduate of the Air Force Academy, has served in numerous operation-

al, command and staff positions, such as commandant of cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy, vice commander of Air Education and Training Command and associate director for military affairs at the Central Intelligence Agency.

“When I became a squadron commander, I felt excited.

When I became a wing commander, I felt proud. When I became a major command commander, I felt privileged and a little bit old,” he said.

“Today when I was sworn in as chief of staff of the Air Force, I felt humbled to be given the honor of leading its incredible Airmen.”

His experience includes nearly 3,300 flying hours, most of which came in the A-10 Thunderbolt II and F-16 Fighting Falcon.

As the ceremony ushered in a new chapter in Air Force history, it also served as the final chapter for Schwartz’s four years as the service’s senior uniformed leader and his more than 39 years of military service.

Schwartz’s career began in1973 after graduating from the Air Force Academy. He has logged more than 4,400

flying hours and participated in military operations in Vietnam, Iraq and Cambodia.

“Anyone looking for an example of Air Force core values need look no further than Gen. Norty Schwartz,” Donley said.

“Thank you for your lasting contribution to our Air Force and the character and quality of your service.”

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta presented Schwartz with the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, which is awarded to service members who perform exceptionally meritorious service in a posi-

tion of great responsibility.

The award citation highlighted his success in restoring excellence in the Air Force nuclear mission, his efforts to partner with joint and coalition teammates in support of operations worldwide, modernizing the Air Force’s air and space inventories, and care for Airmen and families.

Schwartz’s wife Suzie was also recognized for her devotion to Airmen and family support programs.

“The Air Force has afforded us an honorable and rewarding journey for the entirety of our adult lives,” Schwartz said

Army cadets training in KMC gain leadership experience

by Rick Scavetta U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern Crouching before whirling helicopter blades in full combat gear, Kevin Zuniga prepared to rush a simulated casualty into the waiting aircraft.

Wafting colored smoke marked Miesau Army Depot’s landing zone, as Zuniga joined 212th Combat Support Hospital Soldiers to rush their patient onboard. Zuniga, a Reserve Officers’ Training Corps cadet from Texas A&M International University, said summer training sharpens skills he’ll need as an Army officer.

“Every experience you get is going to shape you as a leader,” Zuniga said. “This one has been amazing.”

Army units throughout the KMC hosted dozens of ROTC cadets from stateside universities this summer. The cadets learned firsthand how Army units work and how leaders conduct themselves — valuable tools for their future.

“I’m more confident going to my unit after I graduate knowing that I have a little bit of experience in a real unit, rather than just straight out of ROTC,” said Claire Marlow, a cadet from the University of Washington, one of eight ROTC cadets hosted by the 212th CSH. During Cadet Troop Leader Training, cadets shadow Army officers and lead Soldiers through a variety of situations. On Aug. 2, the 212th CSH enlisted the help of Company C, 1st Battalion, 214th Aviation Regiment, a medical evacuation helicopter unit based nearby at U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern’s Landstuhl heliport, to show cadets how to evacuate wounded troops from the battlefield.

“Afterward, one of the cadets had the opportunity to come with us to train in a simulator in Illesheim and participate with an instructor pilot,” said Capt.

Michael Chase, the Company C operations officer.

At the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, 42 cadets served as platoon leaders in non-deploying battalions of the 18th Engineer, 18th Military Police

and 16th Sustainment Brigades. During their stay, Matthew Turnbull was exposed to work at LRMC’s they also had a unique opportunity — a meeting anesthesia department.

School to start: be ready, be safe

by Staff Sgt. Travis Edwards 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

S

chool is starting and the stores are filled with notebooks, pens, pencils and calculators; children are getting anxious as parents ready themselves to place their trust in the teachers of the KMC schools.

But, the start of school Aug. 27 comes with some safety concerns. One of the biggest topics for the Kaiserslautern district school office and Ramstein leadership at all levels is the safety of all children while transiting to and from school, especially on the first day. “Dozens of school staff, teachers and district personnel will be working hand-in-hand with (safety officials) and security forces members to watch out and

ensure everyone is safe and knows the rules on the first day and everyday,” said Mike Bryant, Kaiserslautern School District safety and security officer. “It’s a big day for all of us; we want to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible the first day for the children.”

In addition to encouraging safety in school, parents are reminded to keep a watchful eye on youngsters as they make their way to and from school.

(KMC SE and Security officer) Bryant recommends small children be escorted by an older sibling, parent or guardian, especially on the first day of school with the multitudes of other children all heading to the same destination. Active escorting by responsible caregivers helps promote safety and security. Vigilance by parents, neighbors and other adults “is what’s really going to make the difference,” said Lt. Col. Eric Springer, the

569th U.S. Forces Police Squadron and senior community law enforcement officer for the Kaiserslautern Military Community. “Our community and its safety is our No. 1 concern and priority.”

Bryant added that parents should be teaching children to not speak to, get in a vehicle with or accept gifts from strangers.

friends here at Rhine Ordnance Barracks with the 5th Quartermaster Company, 21st Theater Sustainment Command.”

The daily jumps wouldn’t have been possible without the riggers from the 5th QM Co. packing the parachutes used, coordinating with the Air Force and hosting the training before jumps, said Staff Sgt. Tyler Buckingham, the NCO in charge of air operations. That partnership was key to a successful event.

“Our procedures within the aircraft are different, but all static-line parachutes are mostly the same,” Buckingham said. “You just jump out and count to four.”

Training was conducted Sunday for the week’s jumps at Rhine Ordnance Barracks.

“We began training Sunday, doing some basic intro briefs, parachute training and training with our various jumpmasters in a model C-130,” Visconi said. “We went over basics to ensure familiarity because each nation represented here speaks a different language and we wanted to make sure we’re all on the same page.”

Training with the German jumpmasters breaks the monotony out of the usual jumping, said Sgt. Johnny Connish, an Army parachute rigger.

“Anytime we get the chance to get together and get different training, this is a good time,” he added. The training and preparation work beforehand led to successful jumps throughout the week.

“This is my first jump in Germany, I’ve been here about three weeks,” said Senior Airman CALL, from Page 2

ically unworthy as to negate recognizing three or four years of admirable performance with a medal?

Not too long ago I sat in a mentoring session where the briefer stated that “paperwork” should be on record in order to give an Airman a “4” EPR. Let’s examine that potential scenario:

Christopher Zavala, 435th Security Forces Squadron combat tactics NCO. “It was great, I couldn’t have asked for better weather, the sun is out and there were no winds and I landed softly on the drop zone. Everything came together perfectly.”

Cpl. Benjamin Wilkinson, a 5th Quartermaster Detachment air operations noncommissioned officer, said camaraderie with foreign forces is important to him.

“You have people from all over the world, jumping out of airplanes,” said Wilkinson, a native of Purdue, Mo. “It’s a good chance to work with everybody and see how they do their jobs.

NATO leaders and Visconi both agreed that building partnerships through this week-long event will probably be the most important thing taken from International Jump Week.

“We have a very good comradeship, it’s very good how we all came together to jump here this week,” said Maj. Tim Holzaptel, Airborne Brigade 373 deputy commander. “For me and my battalion it’s a great experience to build up partnerships, share techniques and just get to know our counterparts better.”

“Going beyond learning the various techniques and procedures each country carries out in the aircraft before jumps, the biggest thing we’ll learn throughout the week is how we build partnerships between our various forces,” Visconi said.

“That relationship building will probably be the biggest piece that we all pull away from International Jump Week, what individuals and units we could call and know we can count on them in crisis or contingency.”

“Airman Snuffy, have a seat. I’ve been observing your duty performance of late and I have noticed it has consistently been above average, this is unacceptable.

You have disgraced the unit and yourself. Here is your letter of counseling.

If your level of performance does not improve you can expect the next

time we discuss this matter I will be presenting you with a letter of reprimand.” Really? Leaders cannot continue to spread the message that a “4/Above Average” EPR is simply substandard behavior or performance.

Raters have reacted to the message we deliver. We as leaders have to change our perception and begin to communicate a new message if we

expect the rating system to improve and deflate. Our rating system needs an overhaul. But, it’s not a new performance reporting form that is the answer. Change lies with leadership.

We need reality back in our system and to correct our perception of the meaning of average, above average and truly among the best. Trust and communication is key.

Ramstein Airman selected to receive DOD Award

by Airman 1st Class Hailey Haux 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs An Airman with the 86th Communications Squadron on Ramstein was selected July 20 to receive the 2012 National Image, Inc., Meritorious Service Award.

Senior Airman Miranda Snyder, wing information assurance technician, is scheduled to leave for Los Angeles mid September to receive the award.

“I was completely caught off guard,” said Snyder.

“I am still blown out of the water, but I am proud and incredibly appreciative.”

Generally, each branch of service recognizes one individual each year. The award is given to exceptional Airmen who take care of people in their community.

Snyder’s nomination packet included a list of organizations she volunteers for on a regular basis

including: the post office, tax center, Fisher House, Contingency Aeromedical Staging Facility and Women’s History Committee.

This mother of a one year old considers helping others as a hobby.

“I just love to help others,” said Snyder.

Since the age of 11, the Eugene, Ore., native already had the compassion for helping others.

Working at a mortgage company, her job prior to enlisting, Snyder recruited a group of co-workers to help build a Habitat for Humanity home in Tucson, Ariz. She also assisted in the Basket for Babies event for the March of Dimes.

Snyder helped care for elementary school aged children, was a Eugene Handball Association tournament coordinator and provided the United Way organization with many donations since 2006.

“This award is recognition for her effort,” said Master Sgt. Dennis Palmer, 86th CS wing informa-

tion assurance superintendent.

When she first got here Snyder was motivated and dedicated, Palmer said.

“Honestly, I wasn’t surprised Miranda was selected for the award,” said Senior Master Sgt. Israel Jaeger, 86th CS plans and resources flight chief.

“She exemplifies spirit and intent, the hallmark of this award.”

Snyder said she joined the Air Force because she felt like she wasn’t doing enough.

“I am always looking for more ways to help out,” said Snyder.

Snyder was floored when she was told she was selected in front of 30 of her co-workers.

“Miranda is an exemplary Airman,” said Jaeger.

“She’s a mother, wife, daughter and Airman. Not only is her work ethic impeccable, but she puts forth the extra effort to get involved in the community, all to make a difference.”

LRMC receives 2012 VFW Armed Forces Award

by Chuck Roberts Landstuhl Regional Medical Center Public Affairs

L

andstuhl Regional Medical Center joined the ranks of retired Lt. Gen. Colin L. Powell, The Prisoners of War (in absentia), and retired Brig. Gen. (Dr.) Rhonda L. Cornum July 23 when it received the 2012 Veterans of Foreign Wars Armed Forces Award.

The award is presented annually by the VFW to recognize extraordinary achievement by members of the Armed Forces in such a manner to reflect the highest traditions of service to the Armed Forces, the nation and to its national security.

In presenting the award at its 113th national convention, Richard L. DeNoyer, commanderin-chief of the VFW, acknowledged the selfless service and sacrifice of the LRMC staff as shown by previous award recipients such as Cornum, who became an Iraqi prisoner of war after her Blackhawk helicopter was shot down during a February 1991 search and rescue mission for the

pilot of a downed F-16 during the Gulf War. Cornum received the award in 2009, Powell in 1988 and The Prisoners of War (in absentia) in 1971.

“Taking care of the wounded and sick is not an easy task, and we know how taxing that can be on a caregiver,” DeNoyer said. “The VFW holds Landstuhl and its staff in the highest regard for their steadfast efforts, and we hope this expresses our gratitude to all that are involved in their immensely important operation.

Landstuhl Regional Medical Center provides our American communities with hope and optimism with every service member they are able to send home safely to their families, and for that we in the VFW, and indeed all of America, are grateful. “We also thank you for your outstanding contributions to our nation and for your dedication to the health and wellbeing of United States service members.

The unwavering and enthusiastic employees and members of Landstuhl Regional Medical Center should be recognized for their tremendous

efforts, and we hope they know how essential they are to the survival and the spirits of America’s finest and their loved ones at home.”

In receiving the award, Col. Barbara Holcomb, LRMC commander, acknowledged the continued tremendous support the hospital receives from the VFW and her great honor in accepting the award on behalf of the LRMC staff, as well as paying homage to the wounded warriors they are honored to serve. More than 68,000 U.S. and coalition service members have been treated at LRMC from Afghanistan and Iraq. Of those, approximately 14,000 – the equivalency of about 20 battalions – have been able to return to duty.

“They want to know how is my buddy and how soon can I go back,” said Holcomb of the response she most often hears while visiting wounded warriors.

“We have a tremendous Armed Forces and these young men and women that come through truly love what they’re doing and love supporting the nation and fighting for what they believe in and what we all believe in.”

Airmen study to become 360 degree leaders

by Airman 1st Class Trevor Rhynes 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs More than 30 Airmen from throughout Ramstein participated in a 360-degree leadership course offered through the Kaiserslautern Military Community Top III Total Force Development Council.

This course and others like it are designed to give Airmen of all ranks a chance to develop their leadership skills. This specific course taught participants how to lead those above, below and how to lead peers.

“I wanted to figure out how to lead up, more than lead someone adjacent to me or below me, because I’m an A1C so I don’t have many people below me,” said Airman 1st Class Joseph Quincan, class

participant. “Leading up is more of a challenge I think, because where I work everything is based on experience, knowledge and rank.”

This course taught Airmen that leadership isn’t solely about position, but influence as well.

“Participants learned that you can be a leader at any level, leadership is about influence not about what position you fill,” said Master Sgt. Jacob Peterse, course facilitator. “It’s about how much influence you have with others and how you can use that influence to steer things with a leadership perspective.”

For Quincan, this class demonstrated that in order to lead up, you have to lead yourself.

“John Maxwell explained it very well, saying that you have to have confidence in yourself first to be

the best you can be,” Quincan said. “People who have that experience and/ or rank will look for you to influence them. If they see that you’re the best that you can be, they may be influenced by you.”

Studying leadership is important for all ranks to do, it gives different perspectives to one’s leadership style, Peterse said.

“Leadership at all levels, from Airmen through Senior NCO to officers we all have people above and below us. That gives us a reason to study leadership,” he said. “This course gives names to things that people already do and it gives people ideas for new things to try to become a better leader.”

Leadership courses are taught four times a month.

7th ARCOM holds inaugural reunion at Tompkins Barracks

by Sgt. 1st Class Matthew Chlosta 7th CSC PAO TOMPKINS BARRACKS, Schwetzingen, Germany — Many Soldiers say the Army is a lot like a family. Similar to some families, the Army also has a tradition of holding reunions for unit members and their families to remember and reminisce about their shared experiences and significant life events.

Under towering pines in their former headquarters building, the former 7th U.S. Army Reserve Command continued this tradition by holding their inaugural 7th ARCOM alumni reunion on Aug. 11.

“There have been a couple of occasions where we met, retired Army Col. Phil Lopez, 64, former chief of staff, 7th ARCOM, who immigrated from Cuba at 16, to Warsaw, Ind., said. “[But] this is a means of getting everybody together.”

The day kicked off with a photo in

front of the American flag and “old” flag pole on the parade field; a tour of the old headquarters building and then a PowerPoint presentation on the history of the 7th ARCOM and its transformation into the current 7th Civil Support Command.

7th ARCOM was activated Jan. 15, 1986 to provide command and control for USAR units assigned to U. S. Army Europe according to retired Army Col. Albert J. Gardner, 58, a St. Louis, Mo., native, a former 7th ARCOM member and current 7th CSC command executive officer, said.

“I came because the 7th ARCOM was my first reserve unit after my active duty tour,” retired Army Lt. Col. Carol Fontanese, 51, who is from Pittsburgh, Pa., a former member of the 7th ARCOM, said. “For me, this is like my family. Today is bittersweet. I see people I haven’t seen for a very long time.”

A few of the 7th ARCOM’s significant achievements included the deployment of USAR units to Operation

Desert Shield and Desert Storm and the activation of the USAREUR Mobilization Support Center, which mobilized over 3,000 reservists; also all of 7th ARCOM’s 23 subordinate units were mobilized during Operation Joint Endeavour & Operation Joint Guardian, some twice.

“The significance is to pay tribute to the camaraderie and esprit de corps developed and experience of individuals assigned to the 7th both past and present, Gardner said.

In 2006, 7th ARCOM began its transformation planning; USAREUR directed the command to focus their theater support on consequence management and civil affairs.

The 7th ARCOM headquarters element moved to Kaiserslautern permanently in the summer of 2008 and was reflagged as the 7th CSC. “It was great, it’s outstanding,” New York City, N.Y. native, Army Staff Sgt. Julio Rivera, 56, a former member of the 7th ARCOM and current noncommissioned officer in charge for the 7th

CSC supply room, said. “It brought me in contact with people I lost touch with and I hope we do it again.” According to Lopez, who was the lead organizer of the event, the 7th ARCOM plans to hold another reunion in the future based on positive feedback from the participants.

“It’s important, it’s part of our family tradition,” retired Army Staff Sgt. Joel Trammell, 52, a Chicago, Ill. native, who worked for the secretary general staff at 7th ARCOM and has deployed to Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan, said.

“We were a family at 7th ARCOM. It’s a great idea and I hope they keep doing it.”

After the briefing at Tompkins Barracks, the group of more than 50 alumni and family members gathered for lunch at a restaurant in downtown Schwetzingen and then drove to Heidelberg to enjoy a boat cruise on the Neckar River with a final dinner in the city to end the day.

“The handshakes, the hugs, this is what it’s all about,” Lopez said.

Fence removal symbolic of joint unity Story and photo by Rick Scavetta U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern In the woods behind Kapaun Air Station, Airman 1st Class Michael Callaghan snipped barb wire from fencing as Airman 1st Class Nicholas Diibon dug out fence posts.

Nearby, on Vogelweh’s main street, fellow 786th Civil Engineer Squadron Airmen tore through concrete on a Cold War-era guard shack. Their goal: open the area for pedestrians and vehicles to move freely between the two Air Force bases and Pulaski Barracks, said Tech Sgt. Leonard Collins, who oversaw the project.

“It’s about two miles worth of fences and three guard shacks that needed to be removed,” said Collins, 28, from Riverside, Calif. “It’s a pretty big project.”

Eight Airmen worked for more than a month to complete the removal, collecting 100 tons of debris from the guard shacks, Collins said. Roughly 150 fence posts were recycled. Passing by, Lt. Col. Lars Zetterstrom watched the crews removing the barriers and thought the Army should do likewise.

“This effort is indicative of the overall relationship we have here in the Kaiserslautern Military Community,” said Zetterstrom, commander of U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern, who ordered the garrison’s public works directorate to remove 885 feet of fencing from Pulaski Barracks, near the traffic circle linking the Army post to Vogelweh and Kapaun.

Blurring physical lines is more than just aesthetics, it’s symbolic of the Army and Air Force togetherness, Zetterstrom said.

“Tearing down fences between two Air Force bases and an Army installation represents what’s happening in our community,” Zetterstrom said.

Airman 1st Class Michael Callaghan helps fellow 786th Civil Engineer Squadron Airmen remove fences from Kapaun Air Station, part of an effort to open up the area between Army and Air Force bases in Kaiserslautern.

“The Army and the Air Force are really starting to cooperate together, to find better ways to provide for our joint service members and their families.”

In the past, both services built fences to deter external threats. But those physical barriers eventually had an impact on Army and Air Force cooperation, Zetterstrom said. In fact, the demarcation had more to do with the KMC’s past than the current joint community, where Army and Air Force live side by side and use the same on-post services, he said.

With the barriers now removed, heavy trucks

making deliveries now move easier through roadways. Airmen on Kapaun have a direct path to the commissary, bowling alley and eateries. Service members can also use the area for short hikes.

“These three installations are now integrated into a joint community that should appear seamless to the public,” Zetterstrom said. “It really makes the whole area look more visually appealing.” *** To hear more about the history of Pulaski, Kapaun and Vogelweh, visit http://soundcloud.com/ army-kaiserslautern.

10th AAMDC Soldiers earn German Proficiency Badge

by Staff Sgt. John Zumer 10th AAMDC Public Affairs Many Soldiers around the world have possibly thought at least once in their military careers what it must be like to serve in other armies.

Twenty U.S. Army Soldiers from the 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command are now able to partially answer such a question because of recent joint training July 23 to 26 in Ingolstadt, Germany, with their German army counterparts.

The Soldiers gathered at Max Immelmann Kaserne to participate in four action-packed days of contests that mimic the physical and military testing that German soldiers must regularly undergo. For most, it was their first chance to get a front row seat to the training methods and standards of another army. Regardless of the novelty of the situation and differences in language, those involved were grateful for the chance to earn the coveted German Proficiency Badge.

“I’d recommend it to anybody. It was a great experience to interact with other soldiers,” said U.S. Army Spc. Scott Clark, a wheeled vehicle mechanic with Service Co., 5th Battalion, 7th Air Defense Artillery Regiment.

A Soldier from the 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command receives instruction on the MG3 machine gun from a German Luftwaffe airman July 24 in Ingolstadt, Germany. The 10th AAMDC saw 20 of its Soldiers competing for the right to wear the German Proficiency Badge, an award that recognizes proficiency in small arms weapons and physical fitness standards identical to what German soldiers must achieve.

The German Proficiency Badge allows non-German Soldiers to experience physical fitness and weapons qualification testing similar to what the Bundeswehr, or German armed forces, put their own troops through. Fitness events included a 3k run, the shot or stone put, long jump, high jump and sprinting. Any hopes of catching some rest after the trip to Max Immelmann

Kaserne in Ingolstadt were quickly put aside, however, as the busy schedule planned by organizers dictated otherwise.

“After we arrived, had lunch, and were assigned rooms, we had to complete a 12-kilometer road march,” said U.S. Army Maj. Manny Ortiz, the G4 deputy for the 10th AAMDC. As demanding as a ruck march

within hours of arrival may have been, it might have been one of the easier physical tests soldiers had to endure.

Ortiz said any participant who had failed to prepare for the jumping and sprinting events, thinking they would be like a Sunday walk in the park, was sadly mistaken.

The four days spent training with their new German friends passed quickly according to many participants, and a greater appreciation for those allies wearing a different uniform was a common refrain among 10th AAMDC Soldiers. Any preconceptions about the German soldiers being considerably different were also put to rest.

“Getting to meet and spend time with the Germans, as I had never met my military counterparts, is what I’ll remember most. Everybody was extremely nice,” Clark said.

Ortiz agreed, noting that he had trained with the armed forces of many countries before coming to Ingolstadt for his initial encounter with the German armed forces. While those previous training opportunities had been beneficial, he said they now take a back seat.

“This is the best experience (training) that I’ve had since I came to Germany,” he said.

30th MEDCOM Headquarters settles in Sembach

by Capt. Danielle Hamer 30th MEDCOM Public Affairs

T

he 30th Medical Command has nearly finished unpacking the last boxes after a summer-long move to the unit’s new home at Sembach Kaserne.

The 30th MEDCOM provides medical support for combat, humanitarian assistance and training missions for U.S. European Command, U.S. Army Europe, U.S. Africa Command, and Operations Enduring Freedom and Kosovo Force.

Classes And Training

The unit’s move from Heidelberg is part of the U.S. Army’s ongoing transformation effort in Europe.

“Planning started over a year ago when former commander Col. John Cho toured the buildings on Sembach. We began the physical move in July,” said Maj. Richard Floyd, 30th MEDCOM’s deputy logistics officer.

The unit’s greatest challenges were timing the relocation and whether or not the buildings would be ready for the unit to occupy, Floyd said. The move consisted of two major components: equipment and personnel.

» Join ACS for Family Resiliency Training, a free seminar designed specifically for family members to help you build a stronger family unit by teaching you the skills to increase your resiliency and core competencies including optimism, mental agility, self-actualization and character strengths.

“Moving desks and computers was the easy part, but personnel are more complex,” Floyd said.

To reduce uncertainty for Soldiers and their families, the unit encouraged families to be involved through town hall meetings and social media forums. For Staff Sgt. Michael Linder, relocating went very well, he said.

“I liked living in Heidelberg, the town was really great,” Linder said.

“But it’s nice here. And the move was easy and quick.”

A brief call to Heidelberg’s housing office was all it took, he said. A moving truck arrived and could deliver his

course being offered through Family Advocacy. In this class learn the keys to better communication, effective listening and understanding taught in a fun learning atmosphere.

Otterberg holds old town fest today to Sunday

by Petra Lessoing 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs Otterberg will celebrate its “Altstadtfest,” old town fest, today through Sunday.

The Altstadtfest takes place every two years, in turn with spring fest. It will be set up around the Abbey Church and on Kirchplatz in the historical part of Otterberg.

“For the first time during Altstadtfest, medieval camps will be put up behind the church,” said Carola Ibrom from the Otterberg Tourist Information office. Two medieval groups will display the life in the Middle Ages and inform visitors about that time.

The fest will begin at 7 p.m. today and Mayor Martin Müller and the Otterberg Spring Queen, Laura I, will officially open it from a stage on Kirchplatz at 7:30 p.m.

The band The Twins with

guest will start entertaining the audience at 8 p.m.

Local clubs and associations will sell food specialties and drinks in the streets of the medieval part of town.

Visitors can taste various Palatinate dishes, numerous beers, wines and cocktails.

There will also be grilled ham, spare ribs, roasted pork, soup, bratwurst, currywurst, wurst salad and French fries.

“Local specialties will be the Otterberger and the Wallonenberger,” said Ibrom.

“They are both hamburgers, the Otterburger with lettuce and the Wallonenburger with cole slaw. And both come with a bun that shows a squirrel since the squirrel is the symbol in Otterberg’s crest.”

Saturday, vendors’ and food booths will open at 6 p.m. Hobby artists will sell a variety of items such as jewelry and art and craft items and a basket maker will show off his profession.

Musical entertainment will start at 8 p.m. with Tijuana Band.

Proceeds will go to the new parish home.

Shaunna Cook, the 2010 KMC Operation Rising Star finalist, practices her performance. The contest, sponsored annually by the U.S. Army Family & Morale, Welfare and Recreation, is holding auditions Sept. 13 at KMC Onstage on Kleber Kaserne.

Kaiserslautern Military Community’s Operation Rising Star, an annual vocal performance contest, takes place Sept. 22 at the Armstrong Club ballroom on Vogelweh.

Mandatory a cappella auditions for the contest are Sept. 13 at 6:30 p.m., at KMC Onstage at Kleber Kaserne, said Jim Sohre, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern’s entertainment director.

“You can’t win if you don’t enter so get your application in now,” Sohre said.

The contest has taken off in recent years, partly because contestants earn the chance, if selected, to fly to the States for the grand finals, Sohre said.

“At the garrison level, talented participants get the opportunity to perform for their peers and score good prizes,” Sohre said.

Last year, first-place winner Kristi Menyfield was one of 12 contestants selected to compete at Army-level “Each garrison’s first place winner gets nominated to the grand finals,” Sohre said. “We were very proud of Kristi’s outstanding performance.”

Local garrison winners who place in the top three, earn cash prizes from $100 to $500. Another highlight is the “Spirit Award” – a $300 prize for the unit or family readiness group that demonstrates the best support for their contestant. Singers passing this hurdle compete at KMC Operation Rising Star, a public event that starts at 7 p.m. on Sept. 22. Tickets are $3.

“We’re looking forward to a great lineup at Armstrong’s and hope to have another top Kaiserslautern contestant this year,” Sohre said.

The contest is for all active duty, National Guard or Reserve service members, from any branch, and family members over 18, who have a valid military ID card. Entrants must be in amateur status at the time of the contests.

Other rules and conditions are outlined on the official application, available at KMC Onstage or online at: www.OpRisingStar.com. For more information call 0631-411-6252.

Week-long camp is ‘smashing’ success for KMC kids Story and photo by Staff Sgt. Travis Edwards 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

T

wenty-one children from the KMC got a chance to dip into a multitude of different extra-curricular activities during the Youth Center’s Smash Camp Aug. 6 through 10 at the Youth Instructional building here.

Smash camp is a five-day camp that allows children to try their hand at acrobatics, ballet, jazz, tap, Broadway, art, Yoga and Jeet Kun Do, among other activities.

“We’ve done this camp four times already throughout the summer and it’s for two reasons: to help give the children something constructive to do during the summer and to give them a little taste of everything they can do for after school activities,” said Jody Blevins, a career dance instructor who also works for the Youth Center. “It’s seven hours of fun that they absolutely love.”

Blevins is joined by Nina Moore, Youth Center dance and Smash Camp instructor who is majoring in dance at Brigham Young University, Utah.

“I’ve volunteered at the Youth Center for the last two years, so this is my third year here and my first year working full time for the Youth center,” Moore said. “It’s been great, I love it and the kids love it.”

Jody Blevins, KMC Youth Center dance instructor, shows a Smash Camp attendee how to do a bridge during Day One of Smash Camp Aug. 6 at the Youth Instructional building on Ramstein. Smash camps allow children to try their hand at acrobatics, ballet and jazz, among other activities.

The Youth Instructional building recently reopened in June and features three rooms: a dance room with a Marley floor, which is a special perfor-

mance surface, suitable for dancing and a martial arts room with a soft mat covering the entire floor and a wide-open gymnastics room, which features uneven bars, two balance beams, a trampoline, a vault and a spring floor.

This was the fourth and final smash camp of the 2012 summer. With two instructors, the camp can accommodate up to 26 children ages 6 to 18 for about $110 for the whole week.

“This is the kind of camp I went to as a kid and I still have those memories,” said Tina Whitney, KMC Youth Center instructional director and creator of the KMC Smash Camp. “I still remember how much fun it was and all the new people I met.

I was exposed to so many new things and loved them; and I wanted to give that feeling to our military families.”

The camp was a smashing success for the children as well.

“My mom and I were searching for things to do for fun during the summer and out popped Smash Camp,” said Maddi Navid, 13, stepdaughter of Maj. Lance Benson and Smash Camp participant. “It had all different kinds of activities and we decided, ‘That looks like fun.’”

“The teachers were my favorite because they have a lot of fun with what they are doing and they make learning the dances fun,” she added. “I would definitely do it again.”

Smoke alarms required in Rheinland-Pfalz

by Tech. Sgt. Ryon Miller KMC Fire and Emergency Services Fire is a deadly threat to any household. It can strike anywhere, at any time. In a study conducted by the National Fire Protection Association, they determined that almost twothirds of residential home fire deaths between 2005 and 2009 resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

A home fire can and might happen to you. Smoke alarms are the easiest, most cost-efficient way to alert your family of a developing fire. The more smoke alarms you have installed in your home, the more your chances increase that you will be alerted to a fire. You must be prepared and have the knowledge to escape safely. Fire is darker, smokier, hotter and faster than you can imagine. You must know what fire is like to increase the chances of a safe escape. The following are four important facts to remember: Smoke Is Dark. Most people expect fire to be light. For this reason, people have been trapped in their homes because they could not find their way out in the dark — they didn’t have a flashlight and didn’t practice an escape plan.

Smoke Can Be Deadly. Since most

fire fatalities occur between 2 and 6 a.m. when most people are sleeping — the only thing standing between the deadly fumes of fire and a safe escape maybe the piercing sound of a smoke alarm.

Fire Has Intense Heat. Fire can cause the temperature to rise several hundred degrees in seconds. The heat is so intense it can cause the human body to stop functioning altogether — one breath can cause severe lung damage. The heat alone can cause someone to become unconscious and not be able to escape.

Time Is Critical. A residential home can be easily consumed in flames in less than five minutes from the start of a fire. You must know what to do in order to help get you and your family out safely. A closed door is often the best way to stall a fire. By closing the door, you may save yourself seconds to use an alternate escape route.

What most people don’t realize is there are specific regulations and laws that govern the manufacturing, installation, maintenance and testing of smoke alarms not only in the U.S., but also in Germany and the State of Rheinland-Pfalz specifically. Within the U.S., these guidelines can be found online in

the U.S. Fire Administration Stateby-State Residential Smoke Alarm Requirements manual, as well as in the National Fire Protection Agency Codes and Standards. In the state of Rheinland-Pfalz, the requirements for the installation of smoke alarms is laid out in the Landesbauordnung (State Construction Law for RheinlandPfalz).

Some of the same requirements can found in both the NFPA and Landesbauordnung, these requirements are that smoke alarms must be installed in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area, in the path of egress and on every level of the home.

What this means for all military and civilian members working and living on a military installation is all smoke alarms will be installed and maintained by the installation in accordance with the NFPA to include all other applicable laws and regulations to ensure the high levels of safety are present.

For those members residing within the local communities’ cities and villages of Rheinland-Pfalz, it is the responsibility of the homeowner or landlord to install smoke alarms in accordance with the state law to ensure the safety of occupants. However, the occupant is responsible for testing smoke detec-

tors (recommended monthly) to ensure operability and for replacement of batteries as necessary.

It’s not just enough to install or have smoke alarms installed within your residence, you also must maintain them. Smoke alarms are easy to maintain; yet, improper maintenance is one of the biggest reasons smoke alarms fail. It is very important that you remember to maintain all your smoke alarms not just one or two of them. To ensure your smoke alarms are working properly you can follow these simple actions: • Test your smoke alarms weekly by pressing the test button.

• Replace the battery in each smoke alarm at least once a year. Better yet, when you change your clock for daylight savings time, change your battery.

• Never remove the battery except when replacing it with a fresh battery.

• Clean the smoke alarm at least once a year.

• When in doubt, always remember to follow the instructions in the product’s user’s manual for specific instructions on how to install and maintain your smoke alarms.

For questions, contact the KMC Fire Department, Fire Prevention Section in Bldg. 571 on Ramstein, or call 480-5940 or 06371-47-5940.

8 years later, wounded warrior returns for LRMC visit

by Chuck Roberts Landstuhl Regional Medical Center Public Affairs Landstuhl Regional Medical Center was one of many stops on the long road to recovery for Brian Kolfage, but one he does not remember.

That changed Aug. 1 when Kolfage visited the hospital where he was treated eight years ago when he lost an arm and both legs from a 107 mm mortar blast that landed about 5 feet away from the former Air Force Security Forces specialist on Sept.

11, 2004, at Balad Air Base in Iraq.

Kolfage is now completing his degree in architecture at the University of Arizona, but was able to make the return journey to LRMC with his wife, Nikki, at the invitation of the Wounded Warrior Project that has allowed other former patients to retrace their road to recovery.

Kolfage said he has no memory of being a patient at LRMC, and said it was strange feeling visiting areas such as the entrance to the Emergency Department where he arrived on a stretcher in an ambulance bus.

During his visit, Kolfage shared his long and successful healing process with staff and patients.

Two patients in one of the rooms he visited were amputees who had just arrived from Afghanistan.

Kolfage offered reassurance during their discussion that included questions such as whether he is able to drive a car. Hearing that driving,

walking and other normal activities are all possible has added credibility when it comes from a fellow amputee, said Kolfage.

“They can see I’ve been to hell and back and know they can trust me. You can see the hope and trust in their eyes because they know they can trust me,” Kolfage said afterward at the LRMC Fisher House where he was able to reunite with Vivian Wilson, current manager of the two LRMC Fisher Houses and manager of the Fisher Houses at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in 2004 where Kolfage and his wife resided for several months during his recovery. “It was incredibly heartwarming to see Brian after so many years, looking healthy and happy with his beautiful wife at his side and pursuing his dreams,” said Wilson.

Although not on staff when Kolfage was treated at LRMC, Capt.

Kathleen Casper has treated numerous seriously injured Wounded Warriors during her seven years as an Army nurse.

Casper said the staff is always grateful for the opportunity to meet former patients such as Kolfage, the patient who “wasn’t supposed to live.”

“It was very meaningful to see Brian who has done so well,” said Casper, an ICU nurse. “He’s just like a normal, everyday guy now.”

Casper said Kolfage reflects the same selfless service she sees in so many of her patients. “These guys give everything. Their injuries are something they didn’t ask for … they

tug on my heartstrings.”

LRMC is the largest American hospital outside of the United States and the only Level I Trauma Center overseas, as verified by the American College of Surgeons.

LRMC provides medical care for more than 245,000 U.S. military per-

sonnel and their families within U.S. European Command. LRMC has served as an evacuation and treatment center for more than 68,000 U.S. servicemembers and civilians injured in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as servicemembers from 51 coalition forces.

Pushing to the point of exhaustion: who does it benefit?

by Airman 1st Class Hailey Haux 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs Why do we push ourselves to the point of exhaustion? Some exercise and others push themselves for an adrenalin rush.

On July 27, we did it for charity.

The Event The Viking Challenge is a 24-hour walk/run-athon where participants raised money to help benefit the Fisher House in Landstuhl, Germany.

I participated in the 2012 Viking Challenge and was not prepared for the swell of pride coupled with exhaustion I was going to experience. Starting at noon, our eight-man team was required to keep at least one team member on the track either walking or running for 24 hours; I did both.

Even though I had planned on being there the majority of the 24 hours, I never gave much thought to how far I would walk or run, until we got a few laps in and began to calculate how far we could potentially go. With many breaks to rest our feet and mostly walking, we figured we could go at least 26.2 miles—a marathon. Then and there, I decided to make that my goal.

Raider Week

Attention all potential Kaiserslautern High School football players for the 2012 season. The Kaiserslautern High School football team will be sponsoring Raider Week until Saturday. Raider Week is in-school training only for KHS football players to help them prepare for the 2012 football season.

Half marathon

The Ramstein Fitness Center will host a half marathon at 8 a.m. Sept. 8. Check-in will be at 7 a.m. The half marathon is open to all ID cardholders. Participants must

Challenges Faced The temperature reached a high of 90 degrees Fahrenheit making the afternoon almost unbearable.

Even though the sun was out and the heat was on, everyone kept a positive attitude and showed esprit de corps through the entire 24 hours.

With a surplus of upbeat music playing over the speakers, it was easy for me to stay motivated even during the wee hours of the morning. As 2 and 3 a.m. hit things seemed to blur together, then a second wind came on and I felt like I could go on forever.

That was until the last seven brutal miles. “Just put one foot in front of the other,” I said.

It took everything I had to keep going. Even with the breaks, hydration and music pounding in my ears; I wouldn’t have been able to do it without my team.

We kept reminding each other what we were there for. No matter how bad I wanted to give up and go home, I knew that if I did, I would be disappointed in myself. I’m glad I decided to keep going because I reached 26 miles with a few hours to spare. Then I was determined to push myself to an even 30. I did it, and yes my feet still hurt. As a team we had a combined total of 184.6 miles.

During the month before the event my team took to

Facebook and asked friends, family and co-workers to donate to a good cause. We raised more than $800.

Afterthoughts Never in my life had I walked or ran more than eight miles. There was no need, but for the Viking Challenge, it was worth it.

The Viking Challenge has been, by far, one of the most intense charity events I have participated in.

My favorite part was not that I got out of a day of work, or that I got to brag to friends and family back home about what I was doing; it was getting the chance to see everyone come together for a good cause.

It was seeing the many things people came dressed as: Wonder Woman, Spiderman, Captain America, leprechauns and hippies all made an appearance.

It was hearing the laughter and seeing the smiles on everyone’s face; they knew that they were there for something greater than themselves.

There are no words to express the abundance of pride I had that my team and I exceeded our goals by pushing ourselves to the point of exhaustion and beyond; all for a charity that gives back to service members in need.

Will I do it again next year? Absolutely.
