Home Town Hero
“We Make Sure We All Work Together” by Tara Goodson SGT Nicole Kline is a rare sight among her fellow Soldiers. She is one of 22 females currently assigned to 160th SOAR(A). In itself, that is an accomplishment, but SGT Kline is not one to talk about herself. As is the common theme with the Night Stalkers, her focus is on teamwork and what she can do to help a fellow Soldier. She was chosen as July’s Hometown Hero based on her First Sergeant’s assessment of her being a great Soldier who has proven her skill in Garrison and downrange. Currently she is assigned as the Property Book Office NCOIC at the Regiment Headquarters level, but is looking forward to the expansion of MOS’s, available to females in the 160th SOAR(A), into the line units. Sitting down to get a bit of insight to what it is like to be a female in the 160th SOAR(A) community made me realize, SGT Kline is similar to any other Soldier assigned there regardless of gender.
bubble, to challenge myself and to become healthier then I was prior to enlisting. MWR Life: What inspired you to join the Army? I was in a Young Marines program in school for a short time and enjoyed it. But my daily life is what inspired me. I was tired of doing the same thing every single day; I felt I wasn’t making any forward progression. I knew I was ready for changes and challenges. That is exactly what I got and more! My mom initially thought I was joking when I told her I was joining the Army, but once I left to go to the MEPS station, she
Kline: I have met amazing people in the Army but there are a few leaders I will always be thankful for. Most do not realize the impact of taking their personal time to mentor and their dedication to train upcoming leaders like myself. SGM Chris Kaus for challenging me, SFC Jill Guilfoyle for molding me from a junior enlisted Soldier into a Non Commissioned Officer, and SFC Cain Bassett for always sharing his knowledge and career opportunities in the Quartermaster field. These three leaders had a huge impact on me and my career.
Kline: I enlisted in the Army to do something exciting with my life, to travel and see the world, but most importantly to serve my country. Within my first four years I got to do just that and even more. The Army has been very good to me. I enlisted in the Army when I was only 23 years old and I thought I was a grown woman already! I thank the Army for STILL helping me learn and grow into the Soldier and leader that I am today. I am far more confident, responsible and a better team player now. It took a bit but I realized that I am not capable of taking on everything by myself. I learned to rely on my teammates to achieve a common goal. Assessing for the 160th SOAR(A) solidified the need for teamwork.
Kline: Prior to enlisting, I was fairly quiet; more of an observer instead of an active participant. The Army has taught me to get out of my

Kline: A few of my greatest accomplishments have been moving up in ranks and making my Family proud. It’s such a great feeling of accomplishment to know that you are moving forward. There is nothing like making Mama proud! Mentoring Soldiers, seeing them get promoted and become leaders is always very humbling. MWR Life: During your career, was there someone in your leadership who really inspired or mentored you, maybe someone who helped drive you to be a better Soldier?
MWR Life: Why did you enlist in the Army?
MWR Life: How do you feel the military has helped you become the person you are today?
MWR Life: What do you feel have been some of your greatest accomplishments since you have been in the service?
MWR Life: How many times have you deployed and what are some of the major differences you notice from your first deployment to the next?
realized I was serious. She has been supportive from that moment on and has been my biggest supporter? Whether it was through basic, AIT or selection process, she has encouraged me to go after what I want to achieve.
Kline: I have deployed three times. I served a 15 month deployment with an Engineer Company supporting Crater Repair in Tikrit, Iraq; 11 months with a Sustainment Brigade in Q-West, Iraq and lastly I supported NATO Forces in Bagram, Afghanistan. All three were very different; from the living arrangements such as living in a two man CHU then living in an eight man B-Hut, to the mission at hand. Each group and Unit of people I deployed with was different. In my opinion, that can make or break morale in a deployed environment.
MWR Life: If you were to advise the single Soldier population, what is the most important piece of advice you would share with them? Kline: Manage your money, save so that you won’t have to depend on someone else to take care of you and take care of your credit. You will be so thankful in the long run! I took care of my credit while I was younger and I was afraid of credit cards because of all of the horror stories I had heard about them. Now that I have more knowledge and experience I use them responsibly and to my advantage. If you make a large purchase, don't be afraid to seek advice from your leadership or seek assistance at the Consumer Affairs Office. MWR Life: What do you think is the key to your success in the Army? Kline: There are several things that have made me successful. A few include: taking advantage of opportunities presented to me, not being afraid to lead and making sure that I take care of my career. One of my NCOs who was hard on me coming up once told me “No one can take care of yourself the way that you can take care of yourself.” -SFC Erica Perkins. I tell that to my friends, Family and co-workers now. That piece of advice really struck home when I was approached to assess for the 160th (SOAR)A.
I was nearly to the end of my contract with the Army when I received an email from a Recruiter. Initially, I thought it was spam and nearly deleted it. But something kept nagging me to open it. After a bit, I did and verified it was a real email from a real recruiter. I researched the opportunity and quickly changed my mindset from disbelief that a recruiter had approached me about assessing to one of overcoming the challenge of becoming a female Soldier in the 160th (SOAR)A. I won’t exaggerate, the physical aspect was something that worried me, but I needed to prove to myself and my fellow Soldiers that I could complete the assessment. I think I earned the respect of my teammates quickly and they certainly earned mine.
“The entire team is about teamwork, if someone isn’t pulling their weight, then the entire team can fail. We make sure we all work together.”
MWR Life: Is there a message that you would like to share with the Fort Campbell Community? Kline: Take advantage of all of the things there are to do around us! Get out there and be active, but more importantly stay safe. Take care of one another.

American Muscle The Quest for Affordable Power
All Revved Up
by Joe Weekly Cave men of yesteryear are not much different than men today. The pursuit of speed and power may have started with a race down a snow covered mountaintop on a fur pelt. No prize, no reward and no justification- just simple bragging rights for whoever won the race. That kind of mentality hasn’t changed. We still have the need for speed and power, only now we use our cars instead of pelts. It wasn’t until 1955, when Chrysler released the C-300, that we finally had the blueprints for a muscle car. A huge engine with plenty of horsepower placed into a smaller, lightweight car body fulfilled every speed demon’s fantasies. Aptly named, the C-300 developed 300 horsepower from a 5.4L (331 cubic inch) V-8. Chevrolet responded with their world famous second generation 1958 “Tri-Power” model developing 315HP. Not to be out done, Ford released its Starliner series producing 375HP in 1961. The race had begun create and sell the best muscle car. With the spread of stock car racing, manufacturers now had dynamic showrooms filled with prospective clients. The saying, “Win on Sunday, sell on Monday!” became the motto for all car salesmen. GTO designer John Delorean began assessing what kind of person would drive each brand or type of car. Compared to other GM managers who used demographic data and buyer surveys, Delorean set the standard high. He marketed the Pontiac brand to the younger buyer with a decent job (and paycheck), who was looking for a bit of excitement. In doing so, he essentially identified the ideal muscle car driver. With the introduction of the 1964 GTO option, Delorean bypassed normal GM channels and added a huge engine, high performance tires and an off the shelf Hurst shifter, making this model a driver’s car. GM management feared this new car would overshadow their flagship model and forced Pontiac to only release 5000 of the design. They also priced the car as a high dollar option available by special order only to drive sales to their other models. Within months of release, 30,000 orders were placed! Suddenly an affordable, high powered, well performing car was available to the average person. The foundation for the Muscle Car era had been laid.
Next, Chrysler released the Dodge Charger, Challenger, and the Plymouth Roadrunner within a few short years. They made up for the late arrival to the market with unbeatable power plants like the 440 Magnum and 426 Hemi. Ford developed a similar way of thinking by offering the Mustang in 1965. While cheaper, lighter, and better looking than its counterparts, it wasn’t as powerful. In the late 1960s, the unforgettable Carol Shelby worked with Ford to release the Shelby KR powered by a 428 Cobra Jet. The Muscle Car era was officially in full swing. By the
end of 1970, increasing insurance costs and a sudden gas shortage put a strangle hold on the Muscle Car. Fast forward 20 years and most of the first generation Muscle Car owners are parents with teenagers. The time was right for a
second generation of Muscle Car drivers. Able to develop similar power numbers while complying with stricter regulations and smaller displacement, these newer models bridged the gap between parent and child. Speed another five years down the road and it’s like the late 1960s again. It’s not difficult at this time to find a Challenger, Camaro, or Mustang at any stoplight. Once more, the Big Three are making street eating machines with power levels only dreamed about in the 1960’s. What began as a marketing technique designed to appeal to the younger buyer in the mid 1960s ended up creating a bond parents and children have for the love of speed and affordability. The Muscle Car era helped shape what the American Motorist would come to expect from today’s cars. Although the look of a muscle car has changed, designers today have placed subtle features that trace their lineage back to the first generation. Look for the sleek lines of a Camaro or the large wheel base of a Challenger and you will see the ghosts in the designs. In today’s market we no longer have Chevelle, Starliner, or Roadrunner, but we have their cousins. It’s not uncommon to find more than 400HP clad in new body panels that resemble those days of old. With the addition of the Pony Car segment, we have a second generation of the big muscle, lightweight car mentality. Thanks to designers like John Delorean, Carol Shelby, and others, we will always have a standard with which to judge these new contenders.

Parking Lot Car Shows A Big Summertime Draw Blazing fast vehicles tricked out with a crazy hyped-up sound system would draw all kinds of people to the popular parking lot car and audio shows, according to Soldiers stationed here at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. “I would put (audio) systems and custom designed seats in my ride,” SPC Kimberly R. Payne said. Payne is the Treasurer for the Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers (BOSS) program here at Fort Campbell. While Payne said she is not much of a car show fanatic, she said she would be more likely to attend this type of event if a famous talent accompanied the show.
“It would probably be a big turnout if you brought in someone famous like the rapper 50 Cent. You gotta have a concert, a sound system, a decked out interior…like you’d see on MTV’s ‘Pimp My Ride’,” she explained. Popular talent like 50 would be more of a draw than the cars themselves, according

to Payne. “Famous singers and rappers would make for a great outing and a pleasurable time outside of the house, to get out and enjoy and to mingle among other Single Soldiers.” Payne said if given the chance to trick-out her car, she would “get a 2014 black Chevy Camaro, deck it out with 22-inch rims and put a serious BOSE surround sound system in it that would blast the hottest hip hop and R&B music on the Billboard charts.” The BOSS program at Fort Irwin did just that recently with a car and audio show in June of this year that featured Grammy-award winning rapper, Ludacris. That event, the “Cali Swag Car Show” featured vehicles judged in different categories such as the Top 20 Cars, Top 10 Bikes, Top 10 Trucks, Special Award, People’s Choice Award and Best of Show. Hailing from Los Angeles, California, Fort Campbell BOSS Vice President Joshua R. Charles is fan of the low-riding vehicle rather than the souped-up Honda, Camaro or Escalade typically seen at parking lot car shows. Lowriders, Charles said, are usually older cars outfitted with fancy mechanical equipment to make it bounce. “Lowriders are different. They consist of anything older than the 1980s - like Oldsmobile Cutlass Supremes, and Buick Regals. The main cars are usually cars from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s,” he said.
Charles said the older the car, the better the low rider classification. These cars are dropped and equipped with hydraulic systems that quickly lift the cars up and down. “These cars will sometimes ride as low as three to four inches off of the ground. They became famous during the seventies and eighties,” he said. Charles has seen some low riders here at Fort Campbell, but not many. Past shows have featured a combination event where cars and their sounds systems were judged. On average, 80 to 120 vehicles participated in the car show portion of the event and 30 to 55 cars participated in the audio portion of the event. The last show included cars and trucks. Winners were awarded trophies for placing 1st, 2nd and 3rd in 25 categories such as Best of Show, Best Car Club Showing and People’s Choice. Cash prizes were also awarded for best performers. On the first Friday of every month, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Memory Lane Cruisers holds “Cruisin’ the Riverside” behind O’Reilly Auto Parts on Riverside Drive in Clarksville. This is an event that the entire Family can enjoy. On the first Saturday of every month, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., they meet at Governor’s Square Mall, near the Food Court and Sears Auto Center. Each month they spotlight different vehicles. On July 6, they’ll have a special space reserved for Corvettes. They also feature a DJ with Oldies music and a 50/50 cash drawing. These are just a couple of the many Parking Lot Car Shows that Memory Lane Cruisers holds. You can find more information about Memory Lane Cruisers at www.memorylanecruisers.net.

Game Time
It’s Time For Training Camp by Adam Slyfield We’re finally nearing the end of a long wait for America's favorite sport – FOOTBALL! NFL training camps are the official start to the new season. There aren’t any official games or even exhibition games until August, so this is a less interesting part of the season for the casual fan. However, every year around July is the most important part of the year for the owners, coaches and players. Training camps are pivotal for front office personnel and coaches; deciding which players will be a good fit to put their team on the road to winning a Super Bowl. Each team must trim an eighty man roster down to fifty-three players by the end of the summer, usually around one week before the first regular season game. Probably the toughest job for the coaches and front office is telling a player he is cut from the team crushing his dream. This player can only hope to get another chance, either with a different team or on a practice squad, patiently waiting for his time to take the field in a real game and prove his worth. This time is also used for coaches to stress their game plan to the players. Whether you are a seasoned coach like New England Patriots Bill Belichick or a newly acquired coach making his head coaching debut in the NFL like Chicago Bears Marc Trestman, the challenges can be difficult. They may be bringing a new style to a veteran team or teaching new players their methods. Training Camp is even more important to the players. This is the time to show everyone why you deserve to be on the final team of fifty-three men: the men who will fight together all year for the same goal of becoming a champion. Rookies use training camp to prove why they are ready to take the next step in their career and play in the NFL, earning the million dollar contracts they were given back in May during the NFL draft. Veteran players, who have been around
the league for years and know the routine, use training camp to get back to regular season shape and get used to the speed of the game again. The best opportunity for a young player to make the roster can be special teams. Special teams are made up of 11-man units that specialize in specific areas of play. Four
the Philadelphia Eagles for three seasons. Papale made his mark on special teams. This was a fairy tale that came true and such a feel-good story that it was even made into a movie in 2006; “Invincible” starring Mark Wahlberg as Vince Papale. But don't get too excited and start doing wind sprints
special teams units exist: the group of players that handles punts, kickoffs and punt returns; the unit that handles field goals and extra point attempts; the group that takes care of kickoff returns; and the unit that attempts to block field goal and extra point attempts. Whether you are covering kickoffs or blocking for field goals, many players are on the team just for these specific plays. In 1976, then new head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, Dick Vermeil, decided to have an open tryout inviting anyone who thought they could play in the NFL to compete for a chance to join training camp and have a shot of playing for the Eagles. It was thought to be just a publicity stunt to get fans excited about the upcoming season but one man, Vince Papale, was chosen to join training camp and became a member of
in your back yard getting ready for this year’s tryouts. It was a once in a lifetime thing and no other person has made a team through open tryouts since. If you want to give the NFL $275 (the cost of an open tryout) and risk embarrassment, you are more than welcome to give it a try - like kicker Katie Hnida who became the first female to try out for an NFL team, but only lasted two kicks - missing both by a far margin. You might want to leave the training camps to the rookies coming out of college and the pros who know what it takes to make it in the NFL. Training camps might not be the most exciting part of the season for the fans, but it is the most important part if you want your team to succeed in the regular season and be prepared to contend for a Super Bowl title.

Spotlight on MWR
by Jessica Ryan
I first heard the term “mancave” in 2009 while watching I Love You, Man and thought to myself “who wouldn’t want a sweet garage full of cool stuff in their house?” Too bad many of us do not have the funds or space to assemble such a mancave in our homes. Luckily, here at Fort Campbell, you do not have to look too far to find the ultimate mancave. The Zone, located on 3910 Indiana Avenue, is Fort Campbell’s very own mancave and is the ideal place for the high energy gaming and entertainment experience. Formerly known as Froggy’s Sports Bar, The Zone underwent a nearly yearlong $720,000 renovation and opened its doors to the public in August 2011. Fort Campbell needed a place where Soldiers can escape from stresses of military life and The Zone was designed to fill that need. Unlike many other Family and Morale,
Welfare and Recreation (MWR) facilities, all patrons must be at least eighteen years of age to enter the building. In the main area, patrons can sit at one of the nine gaming stations. All stations are equipped with 55” LCD high definition (HD), flat screen televisions and gaming chairs. The gaming chairs have several features, such as built-in speakers and AFM technology vibration, which give players the ability to immerse themselves into the game. Patrons are allowed to bring their own games or borrow one, free of charge, from The Zone’s game library – which has been sponsored and kept fresh each month by USAA. In addition, there is an arcade area where patrons can play games or shoot pool at one of the four billiards tables. The Zone possesses other unique components which embody “the ultimate mancave” label. Around the main area, the facility
has over ten flat screen televisions on the walls as well as five HD projector screens. The numerous televisions and projector screens make The Zone the perfect location for watching major sporting events. In the past, The Zone has hosted viewing parties for the NFL Super Bowl, NCAA March Madness and UFC Fight Nights. Furthermore, the venue is fully equipped to host live entertainment acts. Musical artists such as 101Rock, the 101st Airborne Division rock band; dueling pianos group Shake, Rattle & Roll; and the Fort Campbell 2012 Operation Rising Star contestants have graced the Zone stage. More recently, the Operation Comedy tour brought established comedians Tony Roberts, Jon Stites and Todd McComas to The Zone in May. Special events are often free to attend, although some events have entry fees and VIP opportunities so patrons can get more bang for their buck. For those looking for a more private viewing experience, there are two movie theater rooms. Guests can get the full cinema experience without going to the local movie theater. Each theater room has surround sound system and twelve leather recliners with built-in “butt kickers” and cup holders. Patrons can bring their own movies to watch or rent a movie from the on-site Insta-Flix machine. Although it is known for its high energy elements, The Zone is also an ideal place for Soldiers and Civilians to relax. The Zone is a hot spot to grab lunch or dinner at its café and bar. The café offers a bar area and a menu including tasty appetizers, specialty pizzas, burgers, sandwiches and adult beverages (patrons must be age 21 and over to drink alcohol). On a typical day, many patrons will sit in the main area, enjoy a meal and utilize The Zone’s free Wi-Fi service and internet jukebox. What makes The Zone a unique place is that it distinguishes itself from other “Warrior Zone”-like facilities. While it is sometimes mistaken as a Warrior Zone, The Zone offers an escapism element which Warrior Zones do not. Patrons will never see any Army memorabilia or decorations displayed inside the building. This provides Soldiers the opportunity to temporarily step away from military life in a safe and nearby environment. The Zone is located at 3910 Indiana Avenue. Their hours of operation are Sunday to Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to midnight. You will also find The Zone open normal hours on holidays! For more information about The Zone and its upcoming special events, please visitwww.fortcampbellmwr.com, www.facebook.com/fortcampbellmwr, or call (270) 461-0603.

Grilled Desserts
In The Kitchen
by Tara Goodson
Grilled desserts are a breeze with these yummy recipes courtesy of www. about.com. Fruit Kebabs with Chocolate Sauce 2 ripe bananas, peeled • 6 slices pound cake (1/2 inch thick cut into 1 inch squares) 2 medium ripe nectarines or peaches • 6 whole strawberries, stemmed 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips • 1 5-ounce can evaporated milk (2/3 cup) 2/3 cup sugar • 1/4 cup butter or margarine To prepare sauce, melt chocolate chips and butter or margarine over low heat in a small saucepan. Add in the sugar and slowly add the evaporated milk. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and stir for 8 minutes. Remove and set aside. Remove pits from peaches or nectarines and cut the fruit into wedges. Slice the bananas and pound cake into 1-inch squares. Thread the peaches or nectarines, cake, and bananas alternately onto six 12-inch-long skewers. To each skewer add one strawberry. Grill each kebab about 5 minutes or until cake is lightly browned, making sure to turn only once. To serve, push contents from skewers onto dessert plates and lightly drizzle with warm chocolate sauce. Grilled Pineapple Sundae 1 pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1 inch slices • 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons melted butter • 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon cinnamon • 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream Combine brown sugar, butter, lemon juice and cinnamon and mix until even. Brush mixture over pineapple slices. Place pineapple slice on preheated grill over a high heat and grill for about 1 minute per side or until browned. Remove from grill and immediately top with a scoop of ice cream and serve. These are best if the pineapple is warm when you eat it. Grilled Cinnamon Apples 2 apples, cored and cut into 1/4 inch slices • 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup lemon juice • 2 tablespoons brown sugar • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Preheat grill for medium heat. Combine water and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add apple slices to mixture. In a small bowl combine cinnamon and sugar. Place apples on grill rack and allow to cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, turning once. Once cooked, place apples on a large dish and sprinkle with sugar mixture.

Family Finances
by Silke Murray Couponers’ strategies are changing. They are not confined to only clipping the Sunday newspaper’s inserted coupons and running to the store with their coupon stash. More consumers search online for coupons and good deals on websites like Groupon, LivingSocial, and Retailmenot, just to name a few. This enables them to extend their savings and become more frugal shoppers. The vast number of websites and services available online can be overwhelming. Signing up for every daily e-mailing lists or coupon offers could be disastrous. The best places to start are the stores where you routinely shop. Use websites that allow you to customize your search options and tailor your shopping to your specific needs. This will keep the websites you shop at down to a manageable number. Make sure that the website links are correct and that the website uses a secure service for payment. Signing up on illegitimate websites could expose your personal or financial information. This causes a security issue and could result in computer repairs or identity theft recovery.
Do not feel pressured into using coupons to buy products you’re not shopping for. Remember to spend your money on the items you need, not just because you have coupons for them. Just because something is on sale does not mean that purchase will still fit in your budget. Your home printer could be key to capturing some good deals. After finding that 40% off coupon on the perfect Christmas gift for dad is not the time to discover that your printer is out of ink or paper. Attempting to print a one-time deal when your printer is not ready could lead you to missing out on some great deals. Understand any limitations that the stores you shop at may have on accepting printed online coupons and any limitations on multiple purchases.
Keeping these tips in mind can keep you financially safe while you save. For more information about online couponing, contact the ACS Financial Readiness Program at (270) 798-5518.

by Keri McPeak
paced, high energy performance in which stories are told through song and dance.
This year the Soldier Show celebrates 30 years of being “Ready and Resilient” by paying tribute to many of our nation’s milestones such as the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, the 75th anniversary of “God Bless America,” the 60th anniversary of the Korean War armistice, and the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Vietnam War. There are also tie-ins that will not only touch your heart but demonstrate the importance of the Army’s intramural sports programs, Sexual
Harassment and Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP) program, suicide prevention, post-traumatic stress disorder, and the need to be able to continue reaching out to your fellow Soldier - not just in combat, but in everyday life. There will be two performances at Wilson Theater - 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on July 20.

Fly Past the CHAOS
Style Your Life
by Tara Goodson
If you had a chance to attend the ReTreat Round Robin during Fort Campbell Military Spouse Appreciation Week this year, you are familiar with the FlyLady, Marla Cilley. Marla is the founder of a self-help group that offers advice on housekeeping and organizing. Like the military, Marla has an abundance of acronyms; the best known one is CHAOS.
to the five weeks or partial weeks of the month. You can break your house into whatever zones you choose, she uses the entrance, front porch and dining room as Zone 1, the kitchen is Zone 2, the main bathroom and one other room in the house is Zone 3, the master bedroom is Zone 4 and the living room is Zone 5. Each day, spend 15 minutes working in your zone for that week and you’ll start to notice the positive changes. If you sign up for the FlyLady emails, then each day you will receive a “mission” with a detailed cleaning task in the current zone. These can be used until you establish your own zones and routines.
Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome It happens, to all of us. We get busy with deployments, trainings, work, volunteering, and children. Tackling chores becomes just that - a chore. Next thing you know, you cannot allow anyone to see the mess your home has become. Following the tips and advice from Marla, you can transform your home into the haven you deserve. If you didn’t have a chance to attend, don’t fret…we have the tips here. BabySteps and Routines BabySteps are one of the FlyLady’s main concepts for getting your home and life inorder. Her list of BabySteps will take you through a series of 31 small daily tasks which introduce and then reinforce aspects of cleaning and de-cluttering; building up to creating personalized routines for morning, afternoon and evening.
and bring in fewer items, rather than attempting to organize them. This de-cluttering is done 15 minutes at a time. One such exercise is FlyLady's “27-fling Boogie,” in which the follower quickly selects 27 items in their home to discard or give away. Weekly Routines Marla advises the use of weekly routines, whereby each weekday is assigned an additional task or focus; Monday is daily cleaning, Wednesday is errand day, Thursday is grocery day and Friday is desk day, focusing on paperwork and finances, as well as the day to de-clutter the car.
Shine Your Sink Marla asserts that even in a messy kitchen, the cleaned-out and polished sink provides positive reiforcement to the person who cleaned it, encouraging further cleaning in the rest of the room and home.
Weekly Home Blessing Marla’s adaption of the Pam Young and Peggy Jones’ “Slipshod Clean ing” is the one-hour housecleaning mission called the weekly home blessing. Using timers, followers are instructed to vacuum, dust, mop, empty trash, change bed sheets and clean up old magazines. Each task is allocated ten minutes only.
15 Minutes at a Time Marla recommends using a timer and to work for only 15 minutes at a time. The short time commitment helps stop procrastination, and reduces opportunities to get sidetracked or bored.
Get Dressed to Shoes Marla insists that her followers get dressed to lace-up shoes before beginning their housekeeping tasks. “With shoes on those feet of yours, your mind says, Okay, it’s time to go to work.”
Clutter Cannot Be Organized Marla recommends that her followers get rid of excess items in their homes,
Zones Marla divides a house into five sections or zones, which are allocated
www.fortcampbellmwr.com
Control Journal Marla advises the use of a Control Journal, a household management notebook or binder, to store the owner's routines, lists and other important household information. FlyLady Reminders Daily reminders of the routines, zones and missions, as well as testimonials of the system and products, are sent to subscribers of the FlyLady list. Perfectionism leads to Procrastination FlyLady asserts that the most frequent reason for procrastination and inefficacy is perfectionism, as people won't start a task if they think they don't have the time or the ability to do it perfectly. Some frequently repeated sayings in this respect include: “good enough is good enough” or “housework done incorrectly still blesses your Family”. No Whining Marla often repeats that her website, chat room and Facebook page are “No Whining Zones” and that “If you can’t say anything nice, say nothing at all”. With the advice given here and on her website, www.flylady.net, you can take the stress and CHAOS out of your life and enjoy your home and Family.

Freedom Fest
Bright Lights
Returns to Fort Campbell by Mary Negron The Fourth of July is just days away and what better to celebrate the Independence of the United States than watching the best fireworks show in town and having fun all week long at the USAA and MWR Independence Carnival! This year’s carnival will feature Belle City Amusement rides, skill games and traditional midway food and drinks from Tuesday, July 2 through Saturday, July 6. The 2013 USAA and MWR Independence Day Carnival times and prices are listed in the article on page 7. • The midway will include: 20 major adult rides, 12 children’s rides, 8 food concessions and 25 skill games. • Adult rides will cost 4 tickets. • Children’s rides will cost 3 tickets. • Skill games will cost no more than $4 per attempt. For the parents, we recommend that you walk around the Carnival to check all the rides before purchasing a wristband for your child. Many rides have height restrictions and we do not want you to buy a wristband if your small child can only get on a couple of rides. If that is the case we recommend buying the individual tickets or the discount sheets. Once you purchase your tickets or wristbands, all sales are final. It’s a carnival and we all know what that means! Food - lots and lots of food, often deep fried and on a stick! There are few places where you can find corn dogs, cotton candy and slushy lemonades all in one place, which is why the 2013 USAA and Fort Campbell MWR Independence Carnival is the
www.fortcampbellmwr.com
ultimate food destination for the week. Everyone is welcome to come to this celebration on Fort Campbell. Patrons without a military I.D. (Active duty, Retiree, Family member, DoD Civilian, on-post contractors), who will be attending the carnival from July 2 through July 6, will need to obtain a visitor’s pass at Gate 4 or 7. Drivers must present a valid driver’s license, proof of insurance and vehicle registration to obtain a visitor’s pass. Anyone over the age of 16 must present a valid photo I.D. upon entering the Installation. Our University of Phoenix Independence Day festivities will be a celebration for all ages- featuring food, drinks, music, rides, games and fireworks for the grand finale. Starting at 6 p.m. the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) Band will take the stage and entertain us with some great music. The USAA Fireworks will begin at dark, approximately 9 p.m. Traffic restrictions will be in place following the fireworks display on July 4. Wickham Road will be one-way (towards Gate 4) from 47th Street to 42nd Street, and one-way (towards Gate 7) from 47th Street to 52nd Street. Traffic will flow normally during all other carnival times.
Personal fireworks are prohibited in accordance with Fort Campbell Regulation 420-24, paragraph 14-16. For additional information on the 2013 USAA and MWR Independence Carnival, July 4th festivities and other events on post, please call MWR Public Relations at (270) 798-7535.
