David Bidwell III, 8, son of David Bidwell Jr., performs a martial arts demonstration during the 13th annual U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa Martial Arts Tournament Feb. 23 on Ramstein. The USAFE-AFAFRICA Martial Arts Tournament is a way for all participants ages 3 to 18 to test their martial arts skills against their peers.

he Ramstein Southside Fitness Center hosted the 13th annual U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa martial arts tournament Feb. 23.

The contest saw participants from as far away as Aviano Air Base, Italy.

Participants’ ages ranged from 3 to 18 years old. Age brackets were arranged and challengers faced off in a battle of martial arts prowess to determine the winner.

Skill levels of those who competed varied. Neverthe-

less, several of the excited young competitors said there was a new level of confidence and enjoyment that was achieved.

“I’m happy,” said David Bidwell III, 8, son of David Bidwell Jr. “I got second (place).”

David said he learned he should always give it his best and have fun during any competition.

The battle for first place in David’s division was close.

“I feel good,” said Jaeden Hose, 8, son of Master Sgt. Mathew Hose, 521st Air Mobility Operations Wing Air See MARTIAL ARTS, Page 3

A German army Dingo vehicle drives through a simulated roadside bomb blast during joint training with the 421st Multifunctional Medical Battalion at Baumholder Training Area Feb. 20. This training helps U.S. Army Europe meet its goal of strengthening the interoperability of its partner nation land forces and sets conditions to build coalitions for future overseas contingency operations.

BAUMHOLDER, Germany — When the heat and flames from an explosion caused by a simulated improvised explosive device blast rocked their Dingo, German soldiers reacted quickly, speeding through the kill zone to safety.

The scenario was part of a counter IED and convoy live fire exercise Feb. 20 here. The 421st Multifunctional Medical Battalion hosted their German partner unit, the 950th Operation Information Battalion.

“When you get an IED going off next to you, it’s very important to stay focused,” said German Lt. Torben Anders.

The Germans’ Dingo, a vehicle similar to the U.S. Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle, was among many German and U.S. vehicles used. The 421st MMB, a subordinate unit of the Sembach-based 30th Medical Command, provided Humvees, a few drivers, simulated casualties and an opposing force. German Polizei provided pyrotechnics with guidance from a Joint Multinational Training Center Counter IED expert.

U.S. Army Staff Sgt. April Riddle, a native of Flint, Mich., normally works as a 421st food inspector. During the training, she played a village elder.

Leadership on duty, balance in life

by Lt. Col. Eric Springer 569th U.S. Forces Police Squadron commander

Commentary

F

ormer Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of State Colin Powell once remarked, “Leadership is the art of accomplishing more than the science of management says is possible.”

As this statement indicates, the difference between leadership and management is not simply semantic, but often is the crucial element in an organization achieving and sustaining its vision, especially during challenging times.

What attributes define leaders, especially those with a balanced approach to life? Having worn an Air Force uniform for nearly 20 years and commanded three squadrons, I’ve had ample opportunities to observe the often vivid distinction between leaders and managers.

What follows is my attempt to

share those lessons, from many sources, which have sustained me as an Airman, husband and father.

Leaders focus on developing and communicating vision, personally and professionally, as opposed to concentrating strictly on limited goals and objectives. This is not to say goals are unimportant; they can often serve as measures of a unit’s effectiveness. However, in a larger sense, they are either accomplished or not; in either case, they’re dead.

A vision, on the other hand, is like the North Star. It’s always out of reach and unattainable, but always there to guide an organization onto the right azimuth.

Leaders make the “hard calls.”

They choose the difficult, honorable path instead of the easy, wrong one.

Consider this story: I commanded a young lieutenant who discovered his subordinates had knowingly been storing unexpended high explosive munitions inappropriately on a range simply because they were too lazy to

return this materiel to the munitions storage area. He had a choice to make at that point: cover up misconduct (the easy path) or hold those responsible accountable and expose his team to scrutiny (the hard path). The lieutenant chose wisely and learned that integrity is really just a word, until you’re on the hot seat.

Leaders learn from the successes and failures of others, but don’t copy their style. A leader’s burden is to inspire the very best in their subordinates and sustain a culture of continuous improvement in their organization. This cannot be accomplished if you’re trying to be someone you aren’t. Be unique; be yourself. If you don’t, you’ll stifle your creativity and continuously fall short.

Leaders realize leading is not necessarily about what they want, but about what their Airmen need and the mission requires. I had a squadron vision statement written prior to taking command of my first squadron along with objec-

tives I wanted to achieve. A good chief redirected me with the knowledge that my squadron had been in combat for half of the last year and was recovering from the sight of seeing our teammates wounded and that maybe I should spend some time figuring out what the squadron needed from me instead of the other way around. It was a great point; we focused on taking care of people and building a high performing team. In the end, we achieved everything we set out to, but we were more apt to do so because of this emphasis.

Leaders “make their own coffee.” To put it bluntly, managers believe “rank has its privileges,” while leaders realize they are first and foremost servants. The only true “privilege” rank affords is the capacity to achieve a greater positive effect for a larger group of people. Leaders show their humanity and humility by doing the seemingly menial tasks nobody See LEADERSHIP, Page 7

Wing Safety recognized as best in Air Force

by Senior Airman Whitney Stork 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

T

he 86th Airlift Wing safety office won the Air Force Chief of Safety Achievement Award for ground safety, Category 2 Feb. 4.

The unit was recognized for its outstanding achievement in ground safety program management for maintaining the largest and most complex base in U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa during 2012.

“There were a bunch of people who came together and helped bring our office into the 21st century,” said Staff Sgt. John Paul Diaz, 86th AW safety office ground safety specialist. “We implemented new technological advances that make tracking data be able to give us a shorter

turnaround time to the squadrons who need it.”

The 86th AW safety office provides service for all of USAFEAFAFRICA. They manage facilities, conduct inspections, track fire and health hazards, as well as manage programs for three wings with 54,000 Americans in the KMC and a $1.25 billion fleet of 29 aircraft.

“For as large of a scale that our program covers, it’s great that the Air Force is capturing and recognizing that,” said Master Sgt. Christopher Wolfe, 86th AW ground safety superintendent. “In general, it’s hard to measure how well we’re doing, so we’re flattered and honored to be able to accept this award.”

This is the first Air Force-level award they have won in three years. The agency has made a drastic transformation over the last

“Disagreement is not disrespect,” said Richard Garsnett, 86th AW safety and occupational health manager. “We share ideas and best practices and remain open to better ways to accomplish solutions to challenging safety topics and issues.”

Hard work and dedication is the focal point of success. In order to thrive, Airmen must work together and strive to be the best and complete the mission at hand.

“The best safety organization operates as a cohesive team and together, no task is too great for the Ramstein safety team,” Garsnett said. “Bottom line, there is no “I” in team. Our Ramstein safety team works as a unified organization to keep Ramstein healthy, successful, flexible and adaptable to change.”

Jaeden also shared David’s viewpoint.

“I feel like I did really good because I’ve been practicing so much,” Jaeden said.

He said all his competitors showed just as much effort as he did and he felt they were all on even playing grounds.

David and Jaeden both took home a lesson of humility and respect for each opponent they faced. Even the parents saw benefits from their children’s participation.

“Martial arts provide a great tool for any child,” said the Thweatt family. “It allows (our son), Xavier, to exercise his body and mind. His morals and discipline have been reinforced through it.”

The Thweatts said they believe Xavier and all those who competed have a stronger sense of accomplishment, confidence and the ability to overcome adversity.

In a sense, David, Jaeden and Xavier encompass the main ideas of warrior fitness and resiliency.

Improving patient safety requires continuous learning and constant communication between caregivers, organizations and patients. As a patient, some of the things you can do to help us provide safe care include: never assume we have all your medical information, keep track of your medical history, work with your provider as a team, follow your treatment plan, know what medications you take, and update your contact information in DEERS. If you know of a process we can improve upon or feel you’ve been harmed in some way, report this through the Interactive Customer Evaluation, or ICE, at http://ice.disa.mil.

First Sergeants’ Corner

Mentorship “Mentor” and “mentorship” are trendy words we use these days, but do we understand what these words truly mean?

Have you ever heard anyone say, “Go mentor that Airman,” or, “Let me mentor you on something”?

Additionally, some people believe their level of rank earns them an automatic ability to spread their mentorship to whomever they choose. This is a false assumption; rank alone does not make a person a mentor.

Unlike a simple adviser, being a mentor is not directed or self-directed; it is earned. A mentor is described as a wise and trusted adviser. Two key words stand out: “wise” and “trusted.”

So, when you advise your Airmen (whether pertaining to on- or off-duty situations and choices), do you understand what they are going through?

Do you know how to help them or get them the proper help? Do you even care? Do you even know what you are talking about? Do they trust you?

Have you created an environment where they know they can count on you when you say you’re going to do something?

While you have expectations for your Airmen, don’t forget they have expectations for you also. In fact, only those Airmen can decide who their mentors are, not you. In other words, mentors are chosen by those needing the mentoring, not by those wanting to be mentors. Yes, a mentor is a title that is earned through a relationship of trust and wisdom, but it is not to be taken lightly. So, are you a mentor, an appointed adviser or neither?

Dumping debt

NCO turns finances around Story and photo by Rick Scavetta U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern Public Affairs When Staff Sgt. Joe Kibe recently vacationed with his family in Spain, his mind rested easy knowing his finances were in order.

That wasn’t the case a year or so ago, before Army resources helped him tackle debts.

Kibe, an NCO with the 903rd Contingency Contracting Command, owed roughly $50,000 when he moved to the KMC in mid-2011. He and his wife, Amy, saw an advertisement for Army Community Service financial readiness classes.

“It can’t hurt to check out ways the Army offers — for free — opportunities to learn how to provide yourself a future,” Kibe said. “We said, ‘Let’s check that out.’”

Each year in late February, during Military Saves week, ACS holds events and seminars to promote financial readiness, said Denise Fesel, who manages the ACS financial readiness program. The week of events reminds troops and their families to get back on the savings path, she said.

“We get caught up in the day. Sometimes we forget,” Fesel said. “It’s like riding a bicycle. You fall off. You might need to be reminded to get back on.”

A former Marine, Kibe, 43, of Mechanicsburg, Pa., worked for FedEx as an independent contractor delivering packages, which earned him a nearly six figure salary — good money, but that’s where the financial problems began.

“You start making money and you think you can live on a higher level,” Kibe said. “You start running the credit cards up, going on vacations, buying a house and buying cars. Your debt to income ratio gets a little out of hand.”

He joined the Pennsylvania National Guard for extra money, became a finance Soldier and, in 2006, volunteered for an Iraq deployment.

Around then, the Kibes took out a $8,000 loan from a mailed convenience check. That grew as high as $19,000.

“That loan turned into a monster. It was a fallback to keep us afloat,” Kibe said. “The percent was so high that every payment went to the interest and late fees. It just kept going up.”

A $15,000 tax-free re-

enlistment bonus, while serving as a finance NCO at Balad Air Base, wasn’t enough for them to get caught up. After his Iraq tour, Kibe decided to stay on active duty. A recruiter offered him $20,000 to leave immediately for Korea.

That meant another year away from family, but they were trying to stay afloat, Kibe said. His next tour, at Fort Drum, N.Y., included housing — but less money.

His house in Pennsylvania was in jeopardy. He had to work a deal with his bank to sell. Hoping for better promotion potential, Kibe reclassified for a new Army job in contracting.

Then he got orders for Germany, moving there with Amy and daughter, Kaylie, 10. His son, Mark, 19, lives stateside. Finances remained a challenge. In fact, he owed roughly $50,000, including payments on a truck and various credit cards and loans.

He’d pay minimums on

bills, sometimes less, Kibe admits.

“We didn’t have a budget,” Kibe said. “We were just living paycheck to paycheck.”

Significant debt affects you mentally and physically, Kibe said, adding how poor sleep, bad eating habits and stress made matters worse.

“That never leaves your mind, whether you’re trying to sleep or at work,” Kibe said. “Those things eat at you.”

Kibe enrolled in Financial Peace University, a 12-week DVD-based course where Dave Ramsey, a faith-based financial expert and motivational speaker, shared ideas on how to dump debt. The program, held at Daenner Kaserne, is run

by U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern’s Religious Support Office.

The Kibes have since turned things around. They See DEBT, Page 9

“Promille” (per mill) means one tenth of a percent blood alcohol: 0,0 Promille: For all drivers, ages 17 to 21, and newly licensed drivers of any age for the first two years.

0,3 Promille: Driving is illegal

if the driver is showing changes in behavior or causes a traffic accident (Relative Fahruntüchtigkeit).

0,5 Promille: If driving with this blood alcohol limit, expect a €500 fine and one month suspension of driver’s license minimum.

1,1 Promille: Driving with a 1,1 blood alcohol limit is a criminal offense.

1,6 Promille: From this point on, it is forbidden to use a bicycle Ways to avoid driving drunk: • Get a designated driver.

• Drink at locations within walking distance of your home.

• Call a cab.

• Search for services that will take both you and your car home if you are drunk.

• Look for public transportation.

• Ask the bartender for help and let him know if you are the designated driver.

• Offer to pay for a cab or drive friends home if they are drunk.

• Drink non-alcoholic beverages.

Stay with your unit policies and drive safe!

Airmen create learning environment, promote wing heritage by 2nd Lt. Kay M. Nissen 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs Members of the 521st Air Mobility Operations Wing unveiled a revamped classroom Feb. 15 at the NCO academy on Kapaun.

The Airmen weren’t a part of a civil engineering construction team, but instead were four volunteers from the 521st AMOW who had a commitment to their wing heritage and professional development.

“I’ve always had a knack for artsy projects and interior design, so I thought this was a great opportunity to show our AMOW support in the NCO academy,” said 1st Lt. Nicole Mancos, 721st Aerial Port Squadron air terminal operations flight commander.

“It was for our future leaders to have a great classroom environment.”

The project started in July 2012 when Senior Master Sgt. Rich Rizzo, 521st AMOW air transportation superintendent, called for volunteers for this unique opportunity. In addition to Mancos, Master Sgt. Colin Loring, 726th Air Mobility Squadron, and Staff Sgt. Lauren Camarena, 721st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, answered the call.

The room included a refurbished brick wall, a custom Airman’s creed mirror and a new paint job. Highlights LEADERSHIP, from Page 2

They shred their own papers, pack their own gear and make their own coffee — and pour a cup for the Airman on duty while they’re at it.

Leaders train their replacements. They build their “legacy” through others.

To paraphrase our Air Force chief of staff, Gen. Mark A. Welsh III, leaders leave their fingerprints on people, not organizations.

Leaders take the time to “sharpen their axe.” Here’s the story: Two lumberjacks go into the woods to see who can bring down the most lum-

included 11 graphics representing the AMOW’s 11 squadrons, which were custom designed by Loring, as well as a mural depicting the locations of the squadrons, which was painted by Mancos.

“It’s very rewarding and a sense of accomplishment,” said Camarena, who contributed to the 250-plus manhours needed to complete the project. “We put our stamp our mark on the wall.”

When they finally compared their lumber piles, they determined the second man had chopped down the most lumber. The first asked incredulously, “How’d you do that? You were taking all of those breaks.” The second answered, “I wasn’t taking a break. I was sharpening up my axe.”

The moral of this story is that leading effectively requires one to commit time each day to taking a step back and keeping their personal and professional “axe” sharp.

In practice, this means dif-

ferent things for different people: a long run for one person, an hour on the Outdoor Recreation Center climbing wall for another. If you’re not keeping your axe sharp, it’s going to quickly become dull.

Leaders follow their gut.

Your brain, as good as it may be, can fail you during the “crunch times” of life, but it will rarely let you down if you are a person of character.

To that end, leaders may often be highly analytical in assessing a situation, but will often decide based upon intuition.

Leaders are inspirational optimists. This isn’t a matter of the glass being half full or

Army jet pilot closes 28-year career with final flight Story and photos by Rick Scavetta U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern As U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 4 Robert Carpenter walks around the twinengine C-20 Gulfstream, he glances at his safety checklist — a routine he’s done every time he’s flown.

Soldiers and civilian maintenance workers stop to talk to him as he boards the jet plane and climbs forward into the cockpit.

“It’s bittersweet that this will be my last flight in the Army,” Carpenter said. “I’m going to miss the camaraderie.

Carpenter, a pilot for the U.S. Army Priority Air Transport Command, Europe Detachment, is part of an elite team of Army pilots and flight stewards who are responsible for flying senior leaders, Congressmen and other dignitaries. After nearly 28 years in uniform, Carpenter will soon retire, leaving behind a storied military aviation career.

“I’m lucky to be working with professionals,” Carpenter said. “I’m lucky to be here. In a lot of situations, previously in combat, I should have been dead.”

He first enlisted in the Marine Reserves in 1985. On active duty, he maintained helicopters before joining the U.S. Army as a warrant officer.

At Fort Rucker, Ala., he learned to fly the UH-1 Iroquois, known commonly as a Huey. He then flew the AH-1 Cobra and the OH-58 Delta, the Kiowa Warrior.

On his right arm, Carpenter wears the 1st Infantry Division combat patch. While taxiing out of the hangar, he recalled how on April 7, 2004, he was shot down in Iraq’s Diyala province, northeast of Baghdad. He and his co-pilot, a female lieutenant, were flying over Baqubah when the enemy attacked with small arms fire and rocket propelled grenades.

Three RPGs targeted the helicopter and one struck a rotor blade. A U.S. Special Forces team below watched as the aircraft began tearing itself apart.

“I didn’t think we were going to make it. I made a mayday call,” Carpenter recalled, his voice drifting off. “We thought we were dead.”

Yet, seven seconds later, they landed in a vacant lot and began to evade hostile forces. Carpenter commandeered an Iraqi’s vehicle to aid their escape, just as friendly forces arrived.

“As I was jumping in, I heard the screeching tires of Humvees coming around the corner. Three Humvees from an MP unit showed up,” Carpenter said.

He later flew a Dash 7 airplane with the 204th Military Intelligence Battalion during four more Iraq tours and served with USAPAT in Afghanistan.

U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 4 Robert Carpenter prepares to fly a twin-engine C-20 Gulfstream, the last flight he would make as a military aviator.

On the Feb. 21 training flight, Chief Warrant Officer 5 Fernando Avila was at the controls beside Carpenter. He recalled the many times they’ve flown together.

“It’s a privilege to do this last flight with him,” Avila said. “After almost 28 years of military service, he deserves credit for serving our nation.”

Last year, while landing at Al Udeid Air Base, near Doha, Qatar, malfunction warnings appeared on their controls. It was a wiring problem, Avila said. Nine other elements failed. But Carpenter remained calm under pressure.

“He got the airplane stopped and we got the passengers to where they needed to be,” Avila said.

“It’s a good feeling to know the level of professionalism and knowledge that he has is there to help you when these things happen.”

Carpenter met his wife Jill in Korea, where she was also in the military. They’ve been married 13 years and have two sons, Dakota and Skylar.

Carpenter’s final Army flight signals the start of a new chapter in their lives, she said.

They have plans to depart Germany in June and he’ll retire in November, she said. Carpenter may fly airplanes as a civilian contractor or return to helicopters, something he misses, he said.

“Through it all, we overcame a lot of heartache with deployments,” Jill Carpenter said. “But, most of all, we’re happy.”

They rented a car, visited the Rock of Gibraltar, and didn’t worry about bills.

“We took the Dave Ramsey information and did the budget and figured every-

thing out,” Kibe said. “The program helped us jumpstart how we were going to handle our finances.”

Soldiers and family members can access a variety

“Theirs is a classic case.

I’m just happy that they took that first step,” Fesel said.

“To watch them continue now, I know they are going to succeed.”

Armstrong’s Club on Vogelweh Military Complex hosted Apollo Night Saturday in the same format as the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem, N.Y. There were boos, there were cheers and one talented musician walked away with the $500 prize.

Apollo Night in the KMC traces its roots to the original event in Harlem and gives members of the KMC a chance to do something out of the ordinary.

Shanda “Dizzy” Misse, host of the Apollo Night, pioneered the event and still hosts today.

Every year she flies back to Germany from the U.S. to host the show.

“I got started here in 2004 with the Vogelweh Community Center director,” Misse said. “We started an Apollo amateur night and expected 50 people but there were about 200 (who) showed up.”

Contestants audition a week in advance to perfect routines and gather the confidence to perform for what, at times, can be a tough crowd.

“This is great. The Apollo Night really brings people together,” said Ricky B, a singer of the two-man band Dukes of Daville. “We enjoy anytime we have a chance to make new fans.”

The audience decided how long a contestant performed. If the crowd was pleased, the con-

testant could finish the performance. But if the mob was not amused, they would heckle until “Sandman” swept them off stage. The winner was decided by the intensity of the crowd’s applause to the performance.

There were 13 contestants who performed.

Some sang well-known songs, others performed completely original works varying from poetry to rap. At the end of the day, John Snow, a drum instructor at the Vogelweh and Ramstein community centers, won the crowd over.

“There is always a nice buzz going on in the military community when Apollo comes up,” Misse said.

Every year, Apollo amateur night keeps growing, drawing in more people to have the opportunity to enjoy a wide array of talented, or talentless, performers. Just last year there were nearly 1,000 people who came to the Apollo Night. The next Apollo Night will be held in July at Armstrong’s Club.

T

he 39th Transportation Battalion (Movement Control) of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command’s 16th Sustainment Brigade officially marked the beginning of their Afghan deployment by casing their unit colors during a ceremony Feb. 22 on Rhine Ordnance Barracks.

Soldiers, family members and other guests were on hand to witness the traditional ceremony where the battalion commander and command sergeant major placed their battalion flag into a case, where it will remain until the unit arrives in Afghanistan and begins their mission.

“The 39th has a distinguished history,” said Lt. Col. Michael S. Knapp, commander of the 39th Trans. Bn. “This is the third time our nation has called on the 39th to deploy since 2001.”

“The 39th Movement Control Battalion is about to embark on one of the toughest and one of the most important missions in Afghanistan,” said Col. Michael C. Snyder, the deputy commanding officer for the 21st TSC. “I can tell you with conviction, this team is well led, motivated, trained and committed to getting the job done.”

Lt. Col. Michael S. Knapp, commander of the 39th Transportation Battalion (Movement Control) of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command’s 16th Sustainment Brigade, and Command Sgt. Maj. Gussie B. Bellinger, command sergeant major of the 39th Trans. Bn., case their battalion flag during a ceremony Feb. 22 on Rhine Ordnance Barracks.

While deployed, the 39th Trans.

Bn. will be the only movement control battalion in the country and will be responsible for all movement

control throughout Afghanistan.

command sergeant major. “I think this is one of the most important things that is leading us out of Afghanistan.”

21st TSC platoon sergeants set example, take care of Soldiers

by Staff Sgt. Alexander A. Burnett 21st Theater Sustainment Command Public Affairs This is a mission performed by selected NCOs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. On any given day, a leader holding this position might work until late at night, run information from the top levels of the Army to his or her Soldiers and even bring aid or counsel to a Soldier in need.

This is the life of a platoon sergeant.

The platoon sergeants of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, Special Troops Battalion, 21st Theater Sustainment Command, have a unique mission they perform in addition to their normal duties.

A platoon sergeant’s duty day officially begins with the first accountability formation held right before physical readiness training. The NCO must have 100 percent visibility of all Soldiers, NCOs and officers within their platoon and report by a number list to the company first sergeant. The platoon sergeant then conducts morning PRT with the company or platoon.

“My morning starts at 5 a.m. when I do early physical readiness training with some of the members of my platoon,” said Sgt. 1st Class Raymond

M. Jones, HHC, STB platoon sergeant and the 21st TSC senior supply sergeant. “When I report to the first sergeant before I do physical readiness training with the rest of the platoon, I have to be able to report all medical appointments, status or meetings for every Soldier.”

Every day it is the platoon sergeant’s mission to take care of all Soldiers in their platoon no matter what the need. Their duties include administering the Army physical fitness test, handling personnel and pay issues, providing professional counsel, conducting inventories, assigning details and taskings, coordinating basic Soldier training, and monitoring Soldier physical fitness development. They perform all of these duties in addition to their primary mission within the command.

“The platoon sergeants here come from all sections and military occupational specialties within this command including legal, logistics, personnel management, supply and maintenance,” said 1st Sgt. Oscar Castellon, the HHC, STB first sergeant.

“Some of their greatest challenges stem from having to balance their daily mission within this command and taking care of the Soldiers within their platoon.”

Unlike platoon sergeants working in combat arms companies, being a platoon sergeant in the “First in

Support” command is an additional duty performed by selected NCOs. In combat arms units, the platoon sergeant coordinates all training, missions and daily life for the Soldiers under their charge. The 21st TSC platoon sergeants face the final challenge of coordinating training and mission requirements around each of the command’s individual section training.

“Every section within this command is working on a different schedule with different appointments, meetings and deadlines,” Jones said. “It is our mission to make sure that these sections take care of their basic Soldier needs while working around their schedules.”

With the high operational tempo and mission requirements within the command, platoon sergeants continue to set the example and take care of their Soldiers. They display a professional attitude and ability every day while accomplishing the many missions with which they are tasked.

“Being a platoon sergeant is a difficult but very rewarding job,” said Sgt. 1st Class Erica Stenson, an HHC, STB platoon sergeant, and operations NCO with the 266th Financial Management Support Center. “Watching Soldiers grow and develop into leaders is one of the best aspects of being a platoon sergeant.”

Customs clearance a must when selling cars in Germany

by Robert Szostek Customs Public Affairs HEIDELBERG, Germany — U.S. personnel must get a customs “Permit to Transfer” when transferring a U.S. Army Europe-plated vehicle to a non-ID cardholder in Germany.

Failure to get the permit could mean a hefty tax demand from German Customs.

“It is essential to get a permit to transfer before you sell, donate or transfer a car to a German car dealer, junkyard or person who is not an ID cardholder,” said Fred Evans, chief of services at the USAREUR Customs Executive Agency in Heidelberg, Germany.

This applies even if the vehicle was wrecked in an accident and you did not receive any money for it, he added.

If you do not obtain this permit, you will eventually fail to clear vehicle registration when it is time to PCS. Customs authorities also may require you to prove what happened to the vehicle.

“This is obviously very difficult if the car was crushed long ago, you are in the middle of clearing out of Europe and you have no record of where the car went,” Evans continued.

If you cannot show what happened to the vehicle, you may be identified in a military police report and subject to disciplinary action. You may also have to pay a hefty tax demand based upon the value of the vehicle in addition to possible fines and penalties from German Customs authorities.

The “Permit to Transfer” (AE Form 550-175B) is available at the U.S. Forces customs office serving your garrison.

More information on selling personal property in Germany the right way is available online at www.hqusareur.army. mil/opm/Infosheet2-AEF550-175B.pdf, in Army in Europe Regulation 550-175, U.S. Forces Customs Controls In Germany, or by contacting your local U.S. forces customs office.

First rotation of personnel, aircraft arrives in Poland by 2nd Lt. Katrina Cheesman 52nd Fighter Wing Public Affairs SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany — The first rotation of aircraft to the Poland Aviation Detachment (Av-Det), Detachment 1, arrived at Powidz Air Base, Poland, on Feb. 22.

For this first rotation, a number of U.S. Air Force 37th Airlift Squadron C-130J Hercules and personnel from Ramstein are training with the Polish Air Force at Powidz Air Base.

It started Feb. 22 and will end March 9.

While types of U.S. aircraft will vary, up to 200 uniformed military personnel and civilian contractors rotate on a quarterly basis.

Sixty-six U.S. Air Force personnel from Ramstein will interact and train with the Polish airmen.

This increased cooperation between the two nations will strengthen international interoperability for NATO allies through regular combined training exercises.

The Av-Det was activated in November 2012 and marked the first enduring presence of U.S. military members on Polish soil.

The Av-Det in Poland makes it possible for Poland to host other allied Air Force elements and to serve as a regional hub for air training and multinational exercises.

“We’re going to see for the first time the fruits of our labor. Having the 37th Airlift Squadron deploy, execute and redeploy successfully will bring a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment to the members of the Av-Det.” — Maj. Matthew Spears, Detachment 1 commander cises to increase air support to NATO. “We’re going to see for the first time the fruits of our labor,” said Maj. Matthew Spears, Detachment 1 commander, on the occasion of the first aircraft and personnel rotation. “Having the 37th Airlift Squadron deploy, execute and redeploy successfully will bring a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment to the members of the Av-Det.” Although U.S. Air Force aircraft have trained previously in Poland, this first rotation differs from other occasions.

“The Av-Det focuses on opportunities to engage with (the Polish air force) on all fronts,” Spears said. “The Av-Det seeks to increase interoperability, not just with our aircrews but across the entire spectrum of both air forces’ capabilities.”

LRMC migrating to DOD email server in March A

lthough the staff at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center will have their email account names changed and moved to a different stateside server Wednesday and Thursday, the transition will be seamless for any beneficiaries corresponding with physicians, nurses, techs and other hospital employees.

The Europe Regional Medical Command servers that house not only LRMC,

but all outlying clinics, such as Kleber and Baumholder, will transition to the Army Enterprise Email service managed by the Defense Information Systems Agency this month. All MEDCOM email accounts ending in “amedd.army.mil” will be migrated by the end of March.

As such, all LRMC email user addresses will change to a standard Department of Defense format being adopt-

ed by all services based on government employment status. The standard name format will be “first.mi.last.persona@mail.mil.”

For example, john.d.smoe. mil@mail.mil for military, john.d.smoe.civ@mail.mil for civilians, john.d.smoe. ln@mail.mil for local nationals and john.d.smoe.ctr@ mail.mil for contractors.

LRMC’s Information Technology Project man-

ager for the transition, Jay Thomson, noted that users will still receive emails to their old address.

“Both email accounts will be active during the transition so nothing is lost,” he said. “A copy of the user’s AMEDD account inbox data will be moved to the DISA server.”

Aside from merging all military services on one server and having DOD users in one unified Global Address

Listing search engine, the accounts will remain active and follow members through permanent change of station moves, temporary duty assignments and unit relocations.

The new accounts will also provide 4 GB of email storage — more than 40 times the current 100 MB limit.

Nutrition key to dental development Smile!

by Airman 1st Class Kelly Gehman 86th Dental Squadron

Did you know poor nutrition can be detrimental to oral health? Nutrition has been identified as a factor in craniofacial development, orally transmittable diseases and other systemic conditions throughout the body. It is important to have a healthy, balanced diet for the development of strong bones and teeth and for the prevention of oral disease.

Craniofacial development starts in the womb. It is important for the mother to have a healthy diet so the baby can be healthy, too. Regular check-ups by a family health care provider or obstetrician will allow deficiencies to be identified early and allow for any necessary intervention to ensure both mother and baby are healthy.

Embracing a balanced, healthy diet and mindset is vital in the prevention of transmissible oral diseases, such as cavities. Calcium is important for the development of healthy bones and teeth, and a healthy diet is important for maintaining them.

A healthy diet consists of selecting foods from the five main food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy and protein foods. Refrain from fad diets that omit or restrict entire food groups; this frequently results in vitamin and mineral deficiencies. For example, eating fresh yellow or green fruits and vegetables have been recognized as beneficial and are rich in vitamins A, C and E.

Dietary deficiencies, such as a lack of vitamin C, can result in scurvy, which is a painful inflammation of the gums. In some cases, dental disease, such as periodontal disease, is made worse due to lack of nutrients necessary for the body to heal.

Bacteria from the mouth that causes periodontal disease has been linked to diabetes and heart disease. A balanced diet can help in prevention and control of these diseases. Choose dental healthy foods, such as unsalted nuts, raw vegetables and plain yogurt, as snacks.

Along with healthy food choices, everybody needs to be conscious of their drink choices as well. Saliva safeguards both hard and soft oral tissues, thus it is important to keep the mouth moist. Suggested beverages include water, particularly fluoridated water and milk. Limit consumptions of sugar-containing drinks, including soda, lemonade, and coffee and tea with added sugar. If sugarless drinks cannot be eliminated, avoid day-long sipping as it is a constant sugar supply to the bacteria on teeth.

Good nutrition with emphasis on a balanced diet and eating habits, including the use of fluoridated water and minimal exposure to sugars, should be practiced along with good oral hygiene for maintaining oral health. Proper oral care and portion control are the building blocks for a healthy mouth and body. Talk to a dental health professional for more information on the effects of nutrition on oral health.

It’s Dental Assistants Recognition Week

Dental assisting continues to diversify and expand. Whether working chair side with the dentist, taking X-rays, or managing the scheduling and duties at the front desk, dental assistants are vital to the success of any dental practice. Dental assistants help make your visit to the dentist productive, safe and as comfortable as possible.

Dental Assistants Recognition Week takes place Sunday to March 9 and is being celebrated by the 86th Dental Squadron in tribute to the commitment and dedication dental assistants exhibit throughout the year.

“Key to Productivity: The Professional Dental Assistant” is the theme for the 36th annual Dental Assistants Recognition Week. This is a time for dental assistants to receive greater recognition for their own unique and diverse contributions to the dental profession and the dental health care of Airmen. Be sure to thank your assistant for their hard work next time you come to the dental clinic.

Fighter pilot, aviation lexicon

by Andy Rhude U.S. Air Forces in Europe Warrior Preparation Center exercise planner Many of the words and phrases used in everyday conversation, especially in the Air Force (for obvious reasons), have their origins from the lexicon of avia-

tion, many specific to fighter pilots, and often people do not even realize this.

I’m not talking just about Hollywood phrases like having “the right stuff” (from the movie of the same name about fighter pilots and astronauts), but actual technical terms that have come to be applied to situations outside their original field.

Here are a few of those.

Behind the Power Curve

Surely we’ve all heard that phrase used to describe being behind in some task, but its origins are technically complicated. It comes from a graph that illustrates the power required by an aircraft to overcome drag at different speeds (sample graph at right). Though not strictly limited to fighters (it applies to all winged aircraft), it is more commonly used in the fighter world because of the slow-speed maneuvering often encountered in a dog-fight.

Essentially, there are two types of drag on an aircraft that must be overcome. Parasite drag (the same drag you feel when you stick your hand out the window of a moving car) increases exponentially with speed. Induced drag (drag from the creation of lift by the wing) actually reduces with speed.

When plotted together, these two drags form a curve — the “power curve” — showing the power required to overcome drag at different speeds at a certain altitude. The lowest point on the power curve shows the speed where the least power is required to maintain level flight at that altitude.

Once you get below that speed, or “behind the power curve,” it actually takes more power to fly slower. In order to speed up, the pilot either has to add power, or descend.

The problem comes in that at some point, some aircraft (older jet fighters for example) can require more power to overcome a slow speed than what is available with the engine, and if the aircraft is low to the ground and can’t descend, this becomes a point of no return. The F-100 Super Sabre was susceptible to this. Just type in “F-100 Sabre Dance” in a search engine and you will find footage of at least one crash illustrating this principle (there were other factors

too, including the design of the F-100 wing).

So, if you find yourself behind in a task, overwhelmed and seemingly unable to catch up and you say you are “behind the power curve,” now you know what it really means.

is more commonly used in the fighter world because of the great speed and altitude changes encountered in a dog-fight, where pilots often find themselves nearing the limits or exceeding them. “Operating outside the envelope” is another variation of this subject. The “envelope” is the area on this graph (below) bounded on the left by the minimum speed, or stall speed, of an aircraft, the top by the maximum altitude it can reach (or is limited to) and the right by the maximum speed it can reach (or is limited to). It is often plotted with sub-envelopes showing maximum sustained turn capability at various G’s (and is usually classified for fighters).

Going beyond the edge of this envelope can be exceeding the design limits of the aircraft and can be dangerous and potentially catastrophic.

So, if you find yourself pushing your own limits and reaching a danger point, you are now known as “pushing the envelope.”

(For more words and phrases in the fighter pilot and aviation lexicon, check out next week’s KA)

Pushing the Envelope

If someone says they are “pushing the envelope,” it is usually taken to mean they are approaching their physical or rules-based limits in some manner, often with dangerous consequences in the balance.

Similar to our previous example of fighter pilot lexicon being applied to situations outside their original field, this one is also graph-based. It comes from an area graph that illustrates the operating speed and altitude ranges of an aircraft. This also is not strictly limited to fighters (it applies to all aircraft), but again

Sexual assault victims find help through SVC

by Airman 1st Class Nate Gettleman 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

T

he special victims council is a new program that helps guide sexual assault victims through the complications of the legal system much like the judge advocate general helps with legal proceedings.

“This is an opt-in program.

All sexual assault victims are made aware of the SVC, but using this resource is not mandatory,” said Capt. Nicole Padgett, KMC sexual

assault response coordinator.

Upon reporting a sexual assault, a victim is made aware of the SVC. The SVC can then help the victim decide how to proceed with their case.

Victims have several options when reporting sexual assaults.

They can either file a restricted or unrestricted report. An unrestricted report is when law enforcement, JAG and chain of command get involved.

In a restricted report, a victim can confidentially report the assault and receive medical treatment, mental health care services, or a variety of support needed without law

enforcement or command involvement.

“There are a lot of great things we can do for an unrestricted report, but we can also offer many types of assistance with a restricted report,” said Capt. Scott Simoneaux, KMC SARC. The fallout from a sexual assault can last for years after the bruises fade away and can affect every aspect of a victim’s life. The SVC helps victims sort out the details so they can continue living their lives as productive members of society.

“This is an outstanding program as it allows for another person to advo-

cate for the victims interest throughout the legal process,” Simoneaux said. “We’re able to offer this service to cases that have been open before the SVC stood up on Jan. 28.”

He said if a sexual assault victim came from Ramstein, the SVC will pull an advocate from another U.S. Air Force’s in Europe and Air Forces Africa base to avoid any conflict of interest.

“We really want to make people aware that the Air Force is taking huge steps on behalf of victims to try to provide more services to them to aid in their healing,” Simoneaux said.

HAWC offers water rehabilitation

T

he Ramstein Health and Wellness Center, in collaboration with the physical therapy clinic and the Ramstein Aquatics Center, created a deep-water rehabilitation class Feb. 5. This class provides exercise alternatives for members medically restricted from high-impact exercise.

With the increasing number of profiles related to running injuries, the HAWC realized members need a medical referral-free fitness resource with the supervision of exercise professionals. Members perform various exercises designed to rehabilitate the member while providing a challenging exercise session. The zero-impact workout is very demanding and speeds up the rehabilitation process while maintaining and promoting cardio respiratory fitness.

“We have a number of Airmen who are very restricted when it comes to physical activity. Some of them are on no running, no walking, no push-ups and no sit-up profiles. In these cases,

many individuals focus primarily on caloric restriction (dieting) and do not have much success,” said exercise physiologist Cesar Alvarez. “Relying solely on calorie restriction is not an ideal answer for weight issues, and the practice is difficult to sustain longterm. It also does nothing to maintain aerobic fitness or address the underlying medical condition.”

Alvarez, who recently PCSd to Ramstein from Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., recommended the program and approached both physical therapy and the aquatics center for their support.

Both Majs. Linda Schemm and Elissa Ballas in physical therapy have been very supportive in referring members to the course. Aquatics center director Dave Besuden and recreation specialist Angela Janssen were very open and accommodating in finding a day and time for the class within their schedule.

“Airmen with a host of injuries such as fractures of the tibia, fibula and foot, stress fractures, ligament injuries

of the lower back, hips, knees and acute strains, sprains or disk herniation can self-refer to the class simply by providing a copy of their profile or they can be referred by their primary care manager or physical therapist,” Alvarez said. “The classes have proven to be quite grueling for our participants. So far, our participants feel really motivated.”

“The class was much more challenging than I expected it to be,” said participant Tech. Sgt. Charles Howhay, 693rd Intelligence Support Squadron. “I didn’t realize how much difficulty I would have balancing in the water. I will definitely be back and have already recommended it to my shop and other members of my squadron.”

Chief Master Sgt. Bill Taylor, Aircraft and Systems Maintenance Branch HQ USAFE A4MA superintendent, agreed and said it’s a great class.

“You don’t realize how much of a workout you are getting until you go to

climb out of the pool and your legs are like rubber! Much more enjoyable then spending 50 minutes on the cross-trainer or treadmill,” he said. “Excellent exercise for folks that need to limit the impact of running. The exercises provide a full body workout.”

Tech. Sgt. Christopher Kaiser from the 721st Aerial Port Squadron said it’s a good class for those who want a workout that makes them sweat.

“I took the class and I was drained when it was done,” he said. “I will be returning, and I definitely recommend this class.”

The HAWC staff, one exercise physiologist and one health fitness specialist will lead the deep water exercise program. They will offer classes to military personnel from 10 to 11 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. For more information, email 86amds.hawc@ramstein.af.mil or call the HAWC at 480-HAWC (4292).

Long live the Kingfish!

O

n Feb. 16 and 17, the Kaiserslautern Kingfish swim team, along with 18 other swim teams, descended on the National Swimming Center of the Netherlands for the 2013 European Forces Swim League Championships.

For the ninth time in 10 years, the Kingfish swam away with the title, besting the runner-up, the Naples Tiger Sharks, by more than 1,000 points, and leading in both the medal (169) and the gold medal (20) counts!

This concluded the second season in a row in which the Kingfish won all the major titles — the league Long Distance Championships, the Divisions meet and the League Individual Championships.

From the first race, the Kingfish took command, with 8-year-olds Annika Zimmerer taking a silver medal in the 100-meter individual medley, and Andrew Hendrickson the fifth place medal. Of the 127 events in which Kaiserslautern had a swimmer or relay team entered, the Kingfish earned at least one medal in 119 of them. Virtually every swimmer on the team contributed points to the team total.

Of course, no championship meet is complete without exciting races and new records, and the Kingfish did not

disappoint, with 13 new team records and one league record. Alexa Hutton, 11, set a new record in the 50-meter fly at 34.56, besting the old record set

by Isabelle Bishop in 2010. Andrew Hendrickson bested the old 100-meter freestyle record of 1:42.62 set by Issac Ha in 2010 with a new time of 1:33.86.

Cooper Peterson, 9, set two new records, one in the 100-meter freestyle at 1:40.85, and the other in the 200-meter freestyle at 3:32.16. Both Matthew Cembrano and Jaden Francis, 10, broke the old 50-meter butterfly record of 43.21, with Cembrano coming in faster at 40.33. Among 15-16 girls, Lexy Meints established new records in the 200-meter and 50-meter freestyle, at 2:21.19 and 28.82 respectively. Her 50-meter freestyle swim not only broke her own team record, but provided one of the most exciting races of the meet, just edging out Alaina Scifo of Lakenheath by .08 seconds. Casey Gallagher and Connor Davis each had new records in the 50-meter freestyle and in the 100meter fly, with new times of 25.90 and 1:01.71 respectively. Everett Plocek, 16, set four new team records and one league record, in the 50-meter freestyle, 100-meter breastroke, 100meter freestyle and the 100-meter butterfly. His 50-meter freestyle was all

Final individual honors also came in the form of pentathlon and high point results. Pentathlon standings are determined by adding swimmers’ best of season times in the freestyle, butterfly, backstroke and breastroke, as well as the individual medley.

Snitch (PG-13) — A father’s teenage son is wrongly accused of a drug distribution crime and is looking at a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 10 years.

Desperate and determined to rescue his son at all costs, he makes a deal with the U.S. attorney to work as an undercover informant and infiltrate a drug cartel on a dangerous mission — risking everything, including his family and his own life.

Starring Dwayne Johnson and Susan Sarandon.

This is 40 (R) — An original comedy that expands upon the story of Pete and Debbie

from the blockbuster hit “Knocked Up” as we see first-hand how they are dealing with their current state of life.

After years of marriage, Pete lives in a house of all females: wife Debbie and their two daughters, 8-year-old Charlotte and 13-year-old Sadie.

As he struggles to keep his record label afloat, he and Debbie must figure out how to forgive, forget and enjoy the rest of their lives — before they kill each other.

Starring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann.
