WHO WE ARE BIRGITTA SNYDER

DIRECT DIRECTOR from the

This month our community begins returning to our normal routines; school is in session, summer is coming to a close and new residents to the air station are settling in.

MCCS continues to keep up with the needs of our community and we received some great suggestions worthy of implementing. The South Side Barber Shop customers have a new awning to shelter them from the weather.

We also changed the hours of operation so our customers can get their cuts earlier in the day. New mothers no longer have to run home to nurse their infants; they can now visit the new “Nursing Nook,” outside of Americable to take care of their child care needs. We also have new fuel pumps on board to replace the North Side fuel dispensers and are working to get them installed in the near future. The new pumps will be able to accommodate credit cards. Additionally we are in the process of purchasing a computer, printer and FA X machine for the Librar y so our customers can have a Kinkos type ser vice capability. We are always looking for new food concepts including healthier food items. We will be adding salads to the offerings at the North Side Marine Mart in the new future. As part of our drive to better our customer ser vice we will be coming out with a customer ser vice sur vey in all of our activities this month so please let us know how we are doing and what areas we can improve. Your ideas and comments are important to us so please keep them coming.

September 15 - October 15 is designated Hispanic Heritage Month. The United States is a collection of many cultures and we are proud to set aside this month to recognize the contributions and achievements from Hispanic Americans. The month of September hosts several other notable awareness days. September 19 is National POW/MIA Recognition Day; this annual event honors prisoners of war, those missing in action and their families. We also highlight our government's commitment to account for them. Several health awareness campaigns also take place this month, most notable include Cancer Awareness, National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recover y Month and National Suicide Prevention Week.

Aboard the air station, MCCS continues to provide great events to keep ever yone engaged during their stay in Japan. The highly awaited Summer Music Festival takes place on September 6 at Penny Lake. This all FREE event includes live music, kids land and free food for our air station community. This is a great way to wrap up the summer season and give a special thanks to our ser vice members and their families. As in previous years, we wrap up the evening with a spectacular fireworks display! I encourage our entire air station family to come out and enjoy this event, the fun starts at 4 PM and fireworks start at 9:30 PM. MCCS Iwakuni is a ver y active member of the Boys and Girls Club of America (BGCA). Our annual Boys and Girls Club Day for Kids Event is on September 20 behind Crossroads Food Court and is hosted by the Family Care Branch (253-5549). There are great activities for the kids, and some parents have been spotted joining in the fun! Club Iwakuni (253-3633) is hosting a night to remember with the return of the Murder Myster y Dinner on September 20. This is a chance to get dressed up for a night of great food and socialization with friends, reser ve your table and tr y to solve the myster y.

What would a Marine installation be without fitness activities? Semper Fit offers something for ever y age.

On September 13, join Youth Sports in the Opening Ceremony for Soccer (253-5777). On September 16, Health Promotions (253-5051) begins their FIT Girls Boot Camp and on September 21, Athletics hosts our 27th Annual Triathlon (253-5654). Join the competition or cheer on the athletes throughout the month of September. The summer may be over, but the activities keep going with MCCS, Giving our Best for a Better Community.

usic is one of the most popular of liberal arts majors in our time. Sounds created by vibration become emotions created from deep within a listener. There is a health profession today that uses the power of music as an instrument for good. I will get into the aspects of what music therapy is and go to an interview with a soon to be practicing musical therapist, who helps me to answer many questions.

Music therapy has been practiced since World War II to address personal, mental and emotional needs, which may be a shared goal in a group setting, or an individual client's goal.

Kaitlin Emmert, a native of southern Indiana, is a recent graduate from the University of Evansville with a major in Music Therapy, who in October will begin her internship as a music therapist in Cleveland, Ohio. She is proficient in the violin, flute, guitar and familiar with most other instruments.

&

LISTEN!

She says that in certain settings she encourages her clients to pick up their favorite instrument, and either play to the beat of their own drum or play along with a song that was chosen by her, which meets their individual needs.

Kaitlin says that music therapists enjoy recording their own tunes with apps and other software, it helps make a more personalized song for her client to feel pride in. These "interactive experiences" are a "guide to personal discovery."

When I asked what a typical session went like Kaitlin said, "We would typically open up with a 'Hello Song' which would be different depending on the client, then we just check in, ask questions, and gauge the music we're going to be playing.

Sometimes we will just listen to music and other times the client will play an instrument, and then we will do a closing song, the same one every time chosen specifically for the client."

These practices prove to be effective for all age groups, "Womb to Tomb" and can treat specific maladies such as Alzheimer's, autism, depression, and hospice settings such as a neo-natal department.

Kaitlin says that her preferred environment is a hospice setting, because she enjoys the interactions and feels that the most positive change possible is there.

In closing, music is a powerful medium for emotional guidance. Music Therapists have dedicated their careers to helping others unlock their musical passions.

While these are wonderful and worthwhile efforts, no one needs to have their own music therapist to find a song that speaks to them. Just stop, and listen.

by Tiffany Cunin, CSCS, PES

Everyone from beginners to conditioned athletes can benefit from adding resistance bands/tubes to their current strength training programs. When using resistance bands, the training possibilities are endless. Bands offer constant resistance and users are able to create resistance from all directions and achieve a greater range of motion than with other training modalities such as machines. Now is the time to start getting ready for the Ball!

The resistance band workout outlined below is a perfect complement to the Bodyweight Ball Gown Workout (“The Preview,” August 2014).

• Loss of a significant, intimate relationship (divorce, separation, or a break-up).

• Financial problems or excessive spending.

• Binge drinking/substance abuse.

• Multiple deployments.

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

• Feelings of hopelessness.

• Intense anxiety and/or depression • Talking or writing about death or a sudden change in behavior.

• Uncontrolled anger or sudden mood change.

• Committing multiple crimes.

awareness through participating in their Venture out excursions that teach you everything from riding the bus and train to shopping in Japanese grocery stores.

Are you going to get a part-time job, PPD can show you the way; Career Resources develops your skills in resume writing and our Personal Financial Management Consultant helps develop your skills in creating a savings plan to support your financial goals.

RE, YOU ARE HE NOW THAT TO YOU GOING WHAT ARE IME? UR FREE T DO WITH YO

The PPD team supports YOU from the beginning to end of your time in Iwakuni.

Living in another country is challenging enough, but living in another country while being a representative under the Status of Forces Agreement is an entirely different experience. The Station Leadership requires each member to attend the Welcome Aboard Brief to cover the many additional considerations involved with this new experience. PPD facilitates this brief on behalf of the Station Leadership complete with a cultural brief and bus tour to develop your skills living abroad under the Status of Forces Agreement.

The first person to contact most incoming community members is their sponsor.

PPD facilitates the Sponsorship Training Program, providing valuable resources to develop the skills needed for that person that reaches out to you while you are still researching the area. Sponsorship Training is offered through Information and Relocation.

Now that you are here, what are you going to do with your free time? PPD has the answers; the Information and Relocation office has answers to include on and off base resources. If you are interested in exploring, the team offers a way for you to develop basic Japanese skills and experience our host nation through their Cultural Adaptation tours and classes. Develop your

P

ersonal and Professional Development (PPD) is an ambiguous classification, yet the title encapsulates the broad variety of information literacy and support services that prepare Marines and their Families for success.

A good friend of mine once said, “Two years is going to pass no matter what, you can have a degree at the end of the two years or not”; some Marines and Family members choose to develop their academic career while they are in Iwakuni. PPD’s Education Office will teach you and walk you through developing an academic plan.

They will work with you on how to transfer your current role to college credit as well as providing basic testing services with personalized service. The education office also maintains the Department of Defense contractual relationship with University of Mar yland Universit y and Central Texas College as our on-site Education Institutions. Once you are enrolled you may be looking for a quiet place to study, again PPD is here for you.

PPD is responsible for our Premiere Library; there are only a few in the Marine Corps.

The Library team develops your skills in information literacy, assisting you in navigating the search for that perfect piece of information needed for a report. They will also help you find a DVD to take home for your study break. There are spaces available for group meetings and a large screen TV with internet access if you would like to reserve it for a skype chat or video study group.

The process of development occurs throughout your time in Iwakuni as well as your entire career. The transition team helps outgoing Marines develop a clear path towards their next level of accomplishment. Whether it is academia, a career or a trade industry, the transition team facilitates an engaging presentation with practical exercises to prepare participants for success. Stop by the Marine and Family Services, Building 411; share your dreams, we will work with you to develop the reality.
