DIRECT DIRECTOR from the

I would like to start off this month by first recognizing our MCCS/MCAS team for the great job they did in preparing for this year’s Summer Music Festival. I think this was one of the finest family events of the year, the kids had a blast and the adults were able to spend a quality evening with their families in a relaxed atmosphere. A special shout out to Larr y Mask our events coordinator, PMO, Safety, Op’s, Chad Landr y our Club Manager, and their team of professionals. It was a flawless event and the rain held out just long enough for the fireworks. I cannot stress enough how important the team effort was between the Station and MCCS during Friendship Day. The money we raised went directly towards making this a free event for our community.

Thank you for your support.

In October, MCCS is preparing for the upcoming Ball season and Holidays. The Dr y Cleaners and Tailor Shops are busy making final alterations and the Beauty Salon is booking appointments for the ladies. In the midst of these preparations I would like to say Happy Birthday to our Nav y family, ser ving our countr y since October 13, 1775. The Nav y Ball is on October 11 and will be held at Club Iwakuni Grand Ballroom. While this month ushers in a time for celebration, it is important to note that October is also a month dedicated to several important awareness campaigns.

October is federally recognized as National Disability Employment Awareness Month. This month acknowledges those who overcome challenges and participate in our workforce. In 1990, congress took the first step towards fighting the stigma of mental illness by establishing Mental Illness Awareness Week. Despite their illness, people like Vincent van Gogh, Jack Kerouac, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and countless other non-celebrities contribute to our community in many ways. We think of them this month and recognize both their challenges and achievements.

Perhaps the most visible awareness campaign this month is associated with the colors Red, Pink and Purple.

Red Ribbon Week supports Substance Abuse Awareness, pink calls awareness to Breast Cancer Prevention and purple is the color associated with Domestic Violence Awareness. These colors ser ve as the foundation for our October 11 MCCS Ribbon Awareness Color Run, a collaboration of Behavioral Health and Athletics.

The following week, October 18 & 19, MCCS Ser vices hosts the Annual Fall Bazaar and on October 19, Club Iwakuni will host its annual Fall Har vest festival, an adult’s night to relax and unwind after a day of shopping the Fall Bazaar. For those that want a quick adventure in our host nation, schedule October 13 for Yoshino River Rafting with our Outdoor Recreation team or reser ve October 21 for a little Kintai Yoga with Health Promotions.

Our air station youth kick off the Marine Corps Ball season on October 24. The MCCS Youth and Teen Center hosts the Mini Marine Corps Ball and for those who are too young for the ball, the MCCS Librar y offers Halloween at the Librar y. The next day the kids join Health Promotions for the Super Hero Fun Run. Summer might be over and the holidays are on the way, but MCCS still has plenty of activities to keep you busy in between. Please stay safe.

“Semper Fi” John Iwaniec Marine Corps Community Ser vices Director GOOD LUCK ATSUKO ON YOUR NEW ENDEAVOURS! MARKETING TEAM WELCOMES PAUL!

WHO WE ARE CHERIELYN DETIMMERMAN POSITION: SMP OPERATIONS ASSISTANT “My job allows me to express my creativity through our events and I also have the privilege to chaperone SMP trips and see Japan with the servicemembers.”

COMMUNITY ARTICLE COMMUNITY ARTICLE

Ikebana

Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement is much more than just placing flowers in a vase. The art dates back over 500 years and

is a cultural art form in modern-day Japan. Ikebana signifies the appreciation for the beauty of nature, and is a long held tradition.

Silence is encouraged while practicing the art, as it provides the opportunity to appreciate things in nature often overlooked in our busy lives.

Along with the landscape, Ikebana pieces transform throughout the year to become displays of the season. Fresh flowers, leaves, berries, branches and even fruits can become components of a beautiful Ikebana arrangement. Because the art makes use of asymmetrical form and empty space, Ikebana pieces are original, clean and one of a kind.

Create a piece of your own by following these simple steps of the Moribana Basic Upright. Carry this Japanese tradition with you to your next location - wherever that may be!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED: Bowl of water (you must cut the branches underwater when pruning), strong clippers, shallow vase, kenzan frog (poky metal piece to insert stems into).

PFMP ARTICLE

Ways to save in Iwakuni

by Kieu Garcia, Personal Financial Management Specialist Check out web shopping rebate sites (i.e. ebates.com, mrrebates.com, etc.) Most of these sites work on the premise that you will log into their site first and then link to your normal online stores via their site. A cash rebate is then given to you depending on dollars spent.

The Thrift store is a treasure trove for bargain shoppers. Active duty servicemembers can go there for FREE UNIFORMS and more. You will need to show your ID. Before I complete an online order, I always search for discount codes for free shipping, percentages off, or free merchandise.

I

t’s been a little over a year since my family and I landed in Iwakuni. It has been a wonderful year of exploration and adjusting, big emphasis on adjusting: to the weather, to the culture, and to the various costs associated with overseas living. Wanting to keep with our savings goals, I had to discover new ways to save money while stationed in Iwakuni.

The following list are tips I have adopted for my own family and tips that others have shared with me:

Food

Coupons are accepted at the commissary for 6 months after the expiration date.

Pre-clipped coupons can be found in bins located in the library in building 411 or at the commissary.

Don’t want to deal with loose coupons?

Pick up a Commissary Rewards Card at the commissary. Register your card online at w w w.commissaries.com/rewards/ and save by loading digital coupons to the card. Coupons can be loaded via Smartsource.com or you can download the Commissary Rewards - Digital Grocery app onto various smart phones and tablets.

Ask for a Frequency Card at the Crossroads Food Court, purchase nine value meals and receive the 10th value meal FREE. Grocery stores out in town are known to have special discounts on specific days of the week. A Cultural Adaptation Specialist for I&R provided a map of Japanese grocery stores nearby and sales they have during the month.

Shopping

When shopping at the Marine Corps Exchange, it is a good idea to save your receipts. You can ask for a price adjustment if the price of the purchased item drops within 2 weeks of your purchased date. The policy can and has been modified, so do ask the MCX for current price adjustment rules.

Take advantage of price matching at the Marine Corps Exchange .

“Utilize Facebook for great local deals on furniture.” -Deanna O’Neal, Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) Director

Travel

Do you have a flexible schedule? Space-A it. Alexandra Patrocino, LifeSkills Trainer with MCFTB states, “the next Space-A Travel Brief will be in November.”

Rent a car at Car Rental if you plan to drive far. The savings on tolls can be significant.

Sign up for an ETC card. The ETC system allows cars equipped with the technology to drive through toll roads without having to stop, and every month all the toll charges get automatically deducted from the credit card on file. Some tolls are reduced with the use of the ETC card.

“Staycation” at one of the local beaches.

-Deanna O’Neal

Entertainment

Visit the library. Did you know that you can download music for FREE? Read magazines and newspapers for FREE? Get audio and e-books for FREE?!?Like their Facebook page at MCCS Iwakuni-Library and keep up to date with all the various events they host throughout the year.

MagicJack, TextNow, and Skype are just a few of the apps that I use to keep in contact with family back home.

A movie junkie? Buy the 10-punch Reel Card and get the 11th visit free. My favorite part of the Reel Card is that I can skip the long ticket line on Premiere nights.

“Japanese parks, like Kuga Park and Hachigamine Park, have great free activities for kids.” -Deanna O’Neal

Education

Visit the Education Office, first floor of building 411, for Tuition Assistance (TA) and scholarship information. The professionals at the Education office can help you map out an education plan that work with your goals and budget.

Ask UMUC or CTT representatives about their scholarship information. My husband received $150 scholarship for books last term.

Again, the library is a great resource. The library has a book swap where you can look for used textbooks.

Want to learn Japanese? You can learn the basics for FREE using Transparent Language (a mobile application that can be used outside of the library) or Rosetta Stone (only offered in the library).

Here are some more of my favorite tips from Deanna O’Neal, the NMCRS Director: Take advantage of the IronWorks gym: the FREE aerobics classes, the incredibly discounted youth activities, free swimming and the Outdoor Recreation lending services.

Track your spending. Get receipts everywhere, know how you spend at the end of the week, and write it down or take a picture of the receipts. My most used Japanese phrase is “reshiito kudasai”, which means receipt please. Tracking yen and dollar spending can significantly reduce excess spending. When you know how much you are spending, you will spend less.

Set up allotments on MyPay or automatic electronic transfers at your bank for savings and for bills to make sure they are paid before any other money is spent. “Pay yourself first.” It’s easier to save money if you never actually see it in your account.

I adore Japan. I hope you find the same enjoyment from this beautiful country and can enjoy all the experiences that it has to offer, without breaking the bank.

Samuel Johnson said it best, “A man who both spends and saves money is the happiest man, because he has both enjoyments.”

As the holiday season approa ches, it’s important to stay busy in a valuabl e way. There are so many ways to make a positiv e impact on our base commun ity and thrive during this busy time of year. For exampl e, volunte er with your unit, cook dinner for a new mom or someon e in need, sign-u p with MCFTB and become a mentor. MCFTB offers amazin g classe s and trainin g such as L.I.N.K .S that give wonder ful opportu nities to learn more about the Marine Corps as well as the resources and service s here on base. It is also a valuabl e tool in getting to know new spouse s and those that are more “seaso ned.” I have taken L.I.N.K .S at almost duty station and even after my 5th class, I found that I learn someth ing new every time and make new, long lasting friends hips.

If you find yourse lf experie ncing a case of "base fever", get out and explore! Living in a foreign country is truly a unique opportu nity. Attend a local festival or take a train to a new destina tion.

ITT and its friendl y and knowle dgeable staff have countle ss sugges tions and flyers on all of the incredi ble sights Japan has to offer.

For those of you that have recent ly relocated to MCAS Iwakun i, I would highly recomm end a trip over to Outdoor Recrea tion (locate d in the Ironwo rks Gym) to check out all of the fantas tic gear that you can borrow free of charge. There is someth ing for everyo ne, includin g sleds and snowbo ards! The local mounta ins are only a short drive away, just West of Iwakun i. So much fun!

MCCS offers several excitin g activiti es to look forward to during the holiday season. The Jingle Bell Jog is a great way to get some exercis e and get in the holiday spirit! MCFTB has a Cookie Exchan ge. Additio nally, most of the units will host holiday parties and events.

Finally , but most important...re member the simple things, make family your priority and make as many memori es in Japan as possibl e. The place we call home today may be differe nt next month or next year. There is one constant in a happy/s uccess ful militar y family and that constant is adaptability. Stay positiv e and focus on the benefit s of living abroad.

Happy Holiday s!

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ARTICLE

What do the ribbon colors mean?

by Heather I. Payne MA, CACII, Substance Abuse Prevention Specialist

It is that time of the year when you will see people around base wearing different color awareness ribbons in support of issues that are important to them. Did you know that there are actually 60 different awareness ribbons? Here is the meaning of three that you will see worn in the month of October:

Domestic violence can be physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, or spiritual. One in 4 women will experience domestic violence during her lifetime, and every year 1 in 3 women who is a victim of homicide is killed by her current or former partner. BUT remember the victims are not always women. At least one in 6 men report being in an abusive relationship. Wear a purple ribbon to show your support for domestic violence awareness.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women, and 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with it in their lifetime. It is the 2nd leading cause of death in women. It may be rare in men, but an estimated 2,150 men a year are diagnosed with it. Wear a light pink ribbon to show your support for breast cancer awareness.

Color RUN OCTOBER 11 10 AM - 1 PM

Come join Health Promotions, the Substance Abuse Counseling Center and the Family Advocacy Program at Penny Lake where these three ribbons will come together as part of the 1st Annual Ribbon Awareness Color Run. There will be carnival foods, raffles, music and Zumba demonstrations. All authorized personnel are welcome and Commander's Cup points will be awarded for Unit participation and best dressed.

The appearance of commercial sponsors’ logos does not constitute official endorsement by the US Federal Government or the United States Marine Corps.

A red ribbon is worn in honor of Kiki Camarena who lost his life in 1985 while fighting to keep the United States drug free and to show a person’s commitment to a life of being drug free. The first Red Ribbon Week campaign happened in 1988, and it has been held annually since. Come and celebrate Red Ribbon Week aboard MCAS Iwakuni from October 20-25.
