10 THINGS YOU MUST CARRY IN YOUR CAR DURING WINTER

1. PORTABLE PHONE CHARGER/BATTERY

It's like a scene straight out of a horror movie: you’re stuck in a ditch on a deserted road . . . and your cell phone battery is at 1%. Keep a car charger in your vehicle, but also a portable battery or power bank. If you're unable to start your car, a phone charger that plugs into your car's USB port or cigarette lighter won't do any good. A portable battery, on the other hand, will charge your phone on-the-go, wherever you go, regardless of whether or not your car starts.

2. ICE SCRAPER

When you park outside in the cold, you risk coming back to a car that's frosted over with a frustrating layer of snow or ice. Keep an ice scraper with a long handle in your car so you can easily clear off your windows, mirrors and lights before driving.

3. SHOVEL

If you get stuck in a snow pile or mud puddle, a shovel can save the day. You can dig out from around a tire that's spinning, or add fresh snow or dirt to the mix to improve your the tire's grip. You probably don’t want to lug a full-sized shovel around, so look for a compact, foldable one that takes up minimal space in your trunk. Some grocery stores and hardware stores also stock miniature snow shovels during the winter months for just this reason!

4. BAG OF SAND OR KITTY LITTER

Keeping a few bags of sand or kitty litter in your car has a couple of beneﬁts. First, the added weight in the trunk can help rear-wheel vehicles gain traction on slippery roads. Second, the sand or kitty litter can actually be poured around your tires if they get stuck in snow, slush or ice. It will provide that extra grit your tires need to gain traction and get you moving. PRO-TIP: Did you know, you can also use your car's floor mats to get your car out of slippery situations!

P T STOP

5. HAZARD TRIANGLES OR LED FLASHERS

If your car slides off the road or you get into a fender bender, hazard triangles or LED ﬂashers can give approaching cars a "heads up," but also mark your location. In less than clear conditions, these visible warning signs give passing cars more time to reduce their speed and avoid hitting your vehicle, while helping emergency personnel spot your location more easily.

6. FLASHLIGHT

A ﬂashlight, like hazard triangles, can be useful for signaling to passing vehicles, digging around in the trunk after dark, or dealing with problems under the hood. It will also be invaluable if you need to walk to get assistance at night.

7. BLANKETS & EXTRA COLD-WEATHER CLOTHES

If you drive from garage-to-garage during the winter, you might not dress for the elements. In an emergency, getting caught without warm clothes could make it more difficult to deal with the situation at hand. Keep a few blankets in your trunk, as well as any old sweatshirts, warm socks, boots and thick pants that you don’t mind keeping in your car for the season. If you're tight on space, opt for a pocket-sized heat reﬂective blanket. Stick some mittens and a warm hat in your glove box and you’re all set for the unexpected!

8. SNACKS & WATER

It may be a rare occurrence nowadays, but people can get stuck in their car for days during blizzards. Keep a stash of non-perishable snacks and bottles of water in the car, just in case. Even if you only have to sit tight for a couple of hours while waiting for a tow truck, you'll be more comfortable with a bite to eat!

9. FIRST AID KIT

Make an appointment at the Pit Stop garage to have your car checked out before the winter hits. Pit Stop provides a pre-trip inspection. We check your car out for the winter.

You never know what you’ll need in an emergency. Purchase a ﬁrst aid kit or make your own with some bandages, adhesive tape, antibiotic ointment, scissors, gauze and any medications you think you might need.

10. JUMPER CABLES

You can't jump start your car battery without jumper cables. It's as simple as that. Low temperatures put additional strain on your battery and can turn a weak battery into a dead battery overnight. Keep a pair of jumper cables in your trunk, especially if your battery is more than three years old. If you turn your keys and nothing happens, you can get a jump from a friend, relative or passing driver. Leisure TIMES | 27

Education Training LEARN JAPANESE using AF Military Tuition Assistance!

Did you know that you can use Military Tuition Assistance (MilTA) to fund Japanese language classes while you are stationed in Japan? AFI regulations allow Airmen to use MilTA to fund up to 12 semester hours of language classes under the Foreign Language – Host Country education goal. You must be in-country on approved orders before MilTA can be approved. These classes can be taken on base or online.

*Contact the Misawa Education Office at DSN 226-4201 or MisawaEducationOffice@us.af.mil. You can also follow the Misawa AB Education & Training Facebook page for updates regarding voluntary education programs at facebook.com/MisawasEducationTrainingSection or scan the QR code above.

How to Get Started: 1.

Attend a Military Tuition Assistance Briefing to learn the benefits and rules of using TA.* 2. Send a copy of valid orders to the Education Office.* 3. Create your Education Goal in AFVEC. 4. Take Japanese classes. 5. Once six semester hours are completed, the Airman is required to take the Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT) within 60 days of course completion. A second DLPT is required after the Airman completes 12 semester hours, also within 60 days of completion.

What is your favorite part about worki working at Outdoor Recreation? Outdoor Recreation (ODR) has given me the opportunities to learn and grow as a military recreation professional. Also, being able to assist our customers and making their day better in any way makes it one of my favorite parts of working here.
