commanding general’s 5 imperatives #1

Make ready to fight and win We face an unpredictable and capable threat. We must continually ready ourselves to face this enemy because our Nations depend on us to fight and win if necessary. Combat readiness is our most important responsibility as Soldiers and leaders.

#2

Live an honorable life Integrity is essential to our profession of arms because our Nation entrusts us to employ lethal force on its behalf. In return, they expect us to be Soldiers and leaders of character.

We must always do the right thing, on and off duty, live honorably, and be outstanding ambassadors of our country here in the Republic of Korea.

#3

Treat everyone with dignity and respect Build teams and bring others into the fold. Be inclusive and find ways to leverage everyone’s unique contributions in your outfit. Regardless of background, every person deserves to be treated humanely, which includes eliminating sexual assault and harassment from our ranks, one of my top priorities.

#4

Train like your life depends on it We must be lethal experts in our craft. This can only be accomplished through tough, realistic training. Sergeants are our secret weapon; we must educate, train, and empower them with the right resources and appropriate authority to prepare our Soldiers to fight and win.

#5

Foster a positive command climate where safety is incorporated in all we do Inspired leaders develop units that train and play hard, but not at the expense of safety.

Far too many Soldiers are injured in instances where it could have been prevented. Ensure risk management is incorporated into the planning and execution of everything we do, both on and off duty.

David Johnson, a native of Cleveland, Ohio, protocol noncomissioned officer in charge, Headquaters Support Company, Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division. Johnson is currently completing a one-year hardship tour on Camp Red Cloud, South Korea.

STORY BY ARMY.MIL

Sgt. Courtney Smith-Clax What is it?

Throughout April, installations around South Korea will recognize the sacrifices of all military and 2nd Infantry Division ROK/U.S. Combined Division children by celebrating Month of the Military Child. Several thousand children attend and use the services provided by Children and Youth Service across the South Korean Peninsula.

These children also suffer the effects of years of conflict. Many of these children have had one or more parents deploy multiple times.

Why is this important to the Army?

Soldiers cannot focus on the battles or challenges ahead if they are concerned about their children at home. Providing a safe, nurturing environment for military children creates a stronger fighting force.

The Month of the Military Child reinforces this concept, reminds the nation that our servicemembers’ children also serve, and provides an opportunity to thank military children for their bravery.

What has the Army done?

Installations in South Korea will sponsor various activities and

events to recognize the brave service and sacrifices of military children. Activities will range from face painting, putt-putt golf, batting cages, ballet, games and other activities.

Area I will host events celebrating its children with a parade, a bubble launch, kite flying and the block party throughout April.

What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?

The Army is committed to providing military children with a quality of life commensurate with their service and sacrifice. The Army is delivering on the promises made in the Army Family Covenant through increased or enhanced services provided by child, youth and school services; an unprecedented investment in construction of childcare, youth and teen centers; increased emphasis on school support and school transition services; and standardizing and funding programs worldwide that support the military child.

Chaplain’s CorNER BY Chaplain (Maj.) JOHN V. IJEOMA 2ND COMBAT AVIATION BRIGADE MINISTRY TEAM Soldiers often ask me, “How did you know you were ‘called’?”

As the 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade chaplain, I didn’t always know I was being called. I was simply following God’s desire that was put on my heart.

Like the story of Samuel [in the Bible], while living with his master Eli, the high priest, at night Samuel was awoken by a voice calling his name. Initially Samuel went looking in the wrong direction, but with guidance of Eli, Samuel was directed on the right path to his answer.

I was born in a traditional Nigerian Catholic family that attended mass every day and was heavily involved in several religious societies. When I was seven years old, I wanted to be a priest, but I didn’t understand what that entailed.

My parents guided me in listening and understanding my heart’s desire. Like Samuel,

I later realized God was calling me. At the age of 12, I formally began training to become a priest at a seminary.

My life has been blessed after 28 years of priesthood. I am thankful for my parents and others who helped me discern God’s invitation into this union with him and this ministry.

As a priest, I strive to touch the hearts of people as God has touched mine, and I pray that this will continue. I always try to give God and this nation my best, and I enjoy every moment of this ministry.

Servicemembers should ask themselves the same thing. By giving their best, people’s lives are touched.

God’s calling to serve applies to Soldiers, Department of Defense civilians, and family members. Like Samuel, we have to first learn to listen and then how to respond, so we can answer our own calling.

About yellow dust

BY l.t. Col. LEE BURNETT 2ID DIVISION SURGEON

It’s spring, which means it’s Yellow Dust season in South Korea. Yellow Dust, also known as Yellow Sand, Asian Dust or HwangSa occurs every year between the months of March and May. The dust occurs due to winds that kick up clouds of desert sand in Mongolia, China and Kazakhstan, which carry east across Korea, Japan and out into the Pacific Ocean. The severity of the storms has increased due to deforestation in Mongolia and China and drying-up of the Aral Sea in Kazakhstan.

Most of the dust is made-up of fine particles of sand between a 10th to a 100th of the thickness of a sheet of paper. These tiny particles travel through the nose and mouth and are carried deep into the lungs.

With sufficient exposure, yellow dust can cause inflammation and scarring of lung tissue.

In low concentrations the dust does not pose a significant health risk.

However, at higher concentrations the dust can impact the lungs and heart.

Less than 400 μm/m3 are considered safe (Level 1). At 400-800 μm/m3 the 65th Medical Brigade recommends avoiding outdoor activities (Level 2).

At 800 μm/m3 or greater, all personnel should remain indoors unless absolutely necessary (Level 3).

Over the past 20 years as China has industrialized, pollutants have become

a problem. Sulfur, soot, and other toxins and heavy metals are often carried aloft in the dust clouds.

Fortunately many toxins and heavy metals settle out on their trip from China to South Korea, but some will remain. The most effective protection from these toxins is to avoid outdoor activities during Level 2 and Level 3 pollution days.

Wearing a mask does not necessarily provide protection from yellow dust.

The basic surgical masks or cotton masks that are often worn in Asia provide no protection.

Surgical masks are designed to prevent large respiratory droplets from being coughed out. They do not prevent inhalation of small dust particles.

True respirator masks (like the orange duckbill masks sometimes worn in a hospital) can provide limited protection. They are designed to filter out less than 100 μm particles. The M50 Protective Mask also provides protection as it is capable of filtering very small particles.

There are two good free resources to keep track of local air quality: The official Army resource is the 65th Medical Brigade’s Yellow Sand Monitoring System at http://www.korea.amedd.army.mil/webapp/yellowSand/ and Air Korea also offers a Korea-wide view of air quality at http://www.airkorea. or.kr/index.

Soldiers RACE for chance at west point STORY BY Sgt. JESSICA NASSIRIAN PHOTOS BY Cpl. OH, JAE-WOO 210 FA BDE PUBLIC AFFAIRS

(Bottom): Pfc. Mason Mizell, a native of Saint Louis, Missouri, a Healthcare Specialist, Headquarters Support Company, Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division takes part in a medical examination during the Rapid Application Completion Exercise to West Point, at the Combined Troops Aid Station, Camp Casey, South Korea, March 4.

T

he 2nd Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division hosted the Rapid Application Completion Exercise on Camp Casey, South Korea, March 4. Nearly 70 Soldiers from the 2nd Inf. Div and one Soldier from the 176th Finance Company participated in the one day application process.

RACE was developed by Maj. Jason Dupuis. As a prior enlisted Soldier, Dupuis knew the challenges of applying to West Point while serving as a fulltime, active-duty Soldier.

After gaining his commission and becoming the Soldier Admissions Officer at West Point, Dupuis set out to aide other enlisted Soldiers in gaining acceptance to the United States Military Academy.

“I remember how it took a significant effort to get my application completed,” said Dupuis. “I looked at the data and saw the blaring problems, the biggest being completion of the application.”

“I set out to fix it. After many ideas I really got stuck on the Soldier Readiness Process that is conducted before deployments,” said Dupuis. “From this idea West Point branded the acronym RACE.” Beginning at 6 a.m., the Soldiers, labeled as candidates, took part in the first of three phases of the RACE, the candidate fitness assessment. The

CFA consisted of six events: the basket-ball throw, push-ups, sit-ups, shuttle sprint, pull-ups and a one-mile run.

While maximum scores were briefed for each event, the CFA was created to test the overall physical trainability of candidates.

“Were assessing whether or not they’re trainable.

We provide a maximum performance score for candidates to work towards,” said Capt. Thomas L. Comer, RACE CFA officer in charge, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division.

“These candidates are here to begin the application process because, they can bring some of the skill sets of being enlisted to the officer corps.”

Once the CFA was completed, the candidates went on to the Department of Defense Medical Evaluation Review Board. Candidates’ vision, hearing and overall physical health was examined to ensure that they were medically cleared for training.

After completing the initial two areas of the application process, the candidates were guided through a computer-based application process by group mentors who are alumni of West Point.

Among other requirements, candidates had to complete a statement of why they want to attend

the academy.

“I like the idea of [attending] a military academy where I have to focus or lose my chance to commission,” said Pfc. Matthew Lyons, a native of Hebron, Indiana, Combat Engineer, B Co., 91st Eng. Bn., 1st ABCT, 1st Cav. Div. “Leadership means the ability to follow, to look at things from outside of the box and put things in a different perspective to solve a problem.”

“My leadership style would be one that is familyoriented, and focused on fitness and the mission,” said Lyons.

The whole application process was completed in about 11 hours.

“The event was to support Soldiers in completing as much of their packet as possible,” said Carolina Rodriguez, a health promotion officer, RACE community partnership coordinator, with the Eighth Army, Area I special staff.

While the purpose of the RACE to West Point was to get candidates as close to completion of their application as possible, the future commissioning of such candidates is much broader.

“West Point is providing the Army with a well-rounded officer corps, so what that means is that we need Soldiers who’ve had prior enlisted service ... ” said Comer.

An artillery crew in an M109A6 Paladin fires rounds to certify during training at Rodríguez Live Fire Range, South Korea, March 10.

Spc. Jacob Hardy from Battery C, 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, assists in carrying a 95-pound artillery training round to be fired at Rodriguez Live Fire Range, South Korea, March 10.

In 1950, when retired Col. Jong-hwan Lee was 17, his countrymen were fleeing Seoul and other northern cities from advancing communist forces.

After spending five days in basic training and firing only five bullets during that training, the young Korean Augmentee to the U.S. Army, Pfc. Lee, was assigned as a cannon crewmember to Battery A, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division.

He started as the loader, or the “number one man,” on a howitzer and would eventually rise in responsibility to gunner.

“I remember seeing so many artillery rounds at the battle of the Naktong River, and I was one of the ones helping load and fire the artillery,” said Lee, through an interpreter.

This week about 200 Soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment “Dragon,” 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, added to Dragon history by firing their first rounds in Korea since the unit was last here during the Korean War. Crews manning M109A6 Paladins fired 155 mm rounds to certify crews and fire-direction control teams. But the gunnery was about more than certifications.

“It helps Soldiers connect with the history of the unit and all those who went before them,” said Lt. Col. Douglas Hayes, commander, 1st Bn., 82nd FA. “It’s also special when you have Col. Lee visit and talk to troops and tell all of his stories while he was a Korean augmentee with the 82nd Field Artillery during the War.” The Dragon commander has his own personal connection to Korea.

“My Grandfather, retired Col. Douglas Hutchens, was a lieutenant during the Korean War,” said Hayes. “He was an aerial observer. He liked flying so much that after the war he went to flight school and became a pilot.”

On July 18, 1950, the 82nd FA came ashore with 1st Cavalry Division and helped halt the advance of North Korean forces at the Pusan Defensive Line to defend the Korean Peninsula.

Their actions in the defense of the Pusan Line would earn the Dragons the “Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation” during the battle at Taegu, South Korea.

Today that history continues. Much like Lee, Cpl. Tae-young Cho with Battery A, 1st Bn., 82nd FA, is also becoming a “number one man” on a Howitzer with the 82nd FA. “It is very awesome,” said Cho. “It feels like I’m in our history.”

KEY RESOLVE

Pvt. Marquise Chestnut, a native of Columbia, South Carolina, a petroleum supply specialist, 602nd Aviation Support Battalion, 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division, checks a fuel truck gauge to see how much is available for distribution during an exercise at Camp Humphreys, South Korea, March 15.

In modern times, having advanced technology is a contributing factor of mission success; however, one key ingredient can jeopardize it all. Fuel, and without it, equipment such as generators will cease to function and drastically impact the mission.

Alpha Company, 602nd Aviation Support Battalion, 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division Soldiers provided fuel support at a field training exercise on Camp Humphreys, South Korea March 15.

Our job here is supporting the brigade, and we’ve been providing fuel for everything from generators to vehicles needed by the dining facility,” said Sgt. Shaun Green, a native of Dallas, Texas, a supply specialist, A Co., 602nd Avn. Spt. Bn. 2CAB., 2nd Inf. Div. Combined. “We also support the Tactical Operations Center, which is one of our top priorities.”

The generators provide general electricity for the TOC, the dining facility, satellites and other electric components. The exercise also gave Green the opportunity to mentor a Soldier, who has never participated in a field training exercise.

I’m actually learning my own job: what I’m supposed to know in a tactical environment, when I’m downrange, and general knowledge as a fueler,” said Pvt. Marquise Chestnut, a native of Columbia, South Carolina, a petroleum supply specialist, A Co., 602nd Avn. Spt. Bn. 2CAB., 2nd Inf. Div. Combined. “Sgt. Green is helping me out by explaining everything to me in detail and breaking it down on how exactly our job would be if we were actually deployed and in a combat environment.”

Noncommissioned officers are meant to mentor, train, and lead junior Soldiers so they can become future leaders.

“I want him to learn everything, so he can be successful in this career, and the main thing I want him to do is to pay attention to detail,” said Green. “It’s all the little things like making sure the chock blocks and drip pans are placed, and also to make sure he has his proper personal protective equipment.”

As the exercise continued, the fuelers worked hard and diligently to distribute the STORY AND PHOTOS BY Sgt. SINTHIA ROSARIO 5TH MOBILE PUBLIC AFFAIRS DETACHMENT

women’s history modernizes CRC

Bastrop, Texas native, Sgt. 1st Class Matthew Howard, a senior supply sergeant and a Brooklyn, New York native, Cpt. Latrisha Granston, a personnel plans and operations officer in charge, speak during a Women’s History Month Observance on Camp Red Cloud, South Korea, March 24. Both service members are part of Brave Company, Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY Pfc. LEE. JONG-KUK 2ID PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The 2nd Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division logistics office, hosted the Women’s History Month Observance at the Camp Red Cloud Theater on CRC, South Korea, March 24.

March is Women’s History Month. It is a time to celebrate the contributions of women, honor the sacrifices, and accomplishments they have made to not only shape the services, but the country as well.

The theme for this year’s observance is, “Working to Form a More Perfect Union: Honoring Women in Public Service and Government.”

The Women’s History Proclamation states that throughout history, women have driven humanity forward on the path to a more equal and just society, contributing in innumerable ways to our character and progress as a people.

In the face of discrimination and undue hardship, they have never given up on the promise of America: that with hard work and determination, nothing is out of reach.

“It [the observance] shows culture and how women have progressed throughout the

Army,” said Staff Sgt. Tasha Watson, a native of Saltillo, Tennessee, an Equal Opportunity noncommissioned officer, Headquarters Support Company, Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 2nd Inf. Div. Combined. “The month highlights how women have changed from one point to the next and how we are steadily progressing.”

Sgt. 1st Class Matthew Howard, a native of Bastrop, Texas, and a senior supply sergeant, Bravo Company, HHBN, 2nd Inf. Div. Combined, gave an award presentation in honor of women who served in government and public service, women who have broken down the barriers and paved the way for others to follow.

“There are many women who are unselfishly sacrificing their time for their country standing side-by-side with their male counter parts,” said Howard. “There are struggles that all women have endured and are still enduring [for equality].”

“In 2013 Defense Secretary, the Honorable Leon Panetta, announced that the ban on women serving in combat roles would be lifted,” said Howard. “Gen. Martin Dempsey said, ‘The time has come to resend the direct combat exclusion rule of women and to eliminate all unnecessary gender based barri-

ers to service.’”

The guest speaker was, Capt. LaTrisha Granston, a native of Brooklyn, New York, a personnel plans and operations officer in charge, B Co., HHBN, 2nd Inf. Div. Combined. Granston reflected on inspiration she has found in female leaders throughout her Army career.

“Throughout my career, I have seen an abundance of female leaders: females serving in every leadership position at different times,” said Granston. “[I have seen] Platoon sergeants, first sergeants, company commanders, and even a battalion commander and I aspired to be like them.”

Adversity can inspire growth and build leaders within the Army.

“Women are inspiring change in our unit, military, government and the world,” said Granston. “Every one of us can create opportunities for women to excel.”

“Women are no longer just mothers, they hold positions in congress, in government, and now there is even a woman running for president,” said Watson. “The observance was to show and acknowledge that women have come a long way in the Army and other areas of the world.”

In aviation maintenance, attention to detail and discipline are key in keeping an aircraft flying smoothly.

It is not always an easy task having so many moving pieces in play, but Soldiers from Bravo Company, 602nd Aviation Support Battalion, 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division, are up to the challenge.

Soldiers from B Co. are dedicated to their work and provide high-level maintenance, which is needed so pilots can successfully perform their missions.

“What we have here is a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter; the aircraft encountered a hard landing and the impact was so hard that it had to be brought in,” said Sgt. Karl Amundsen, a UH-60 helicopter repairer, B Co., 602nd Avn. Bde., 2nd Inf. Div. Combined. “We had to bring in a civilian structural team to come and repair much of the airframe.”

“Once they [civilian structural team] were done we [B Co.] worked on taking all the components off the aircraft,” said Amundsen. “Now we’re rebuilding from the ground up and reinstalling everything, so that it would be ready to fly.”

As helicopter repairers, they look for cracks, stress, dents or pulls in the airframe. They also check the body panel and look for damaged electronics.

“We [helicopter repairers] look for parts that are not supposed to be on the aircraft; after a certain length of time, they have to be replaced,” said Pfc. Scott Seither, a UH-60 helicopter repairer, B Co., 602nd Avn. Bde., 2nd Inf. Div. Combined. “This kind of inspection is not to catch parts that are defective, but to find items that are becoming worn, so we can replace them.”

Seither spoke about his personal experience with this aircraft.

“We pulled it [aircraft] into the hangar, parts were shattered and metal was sheared off,” he said. “Seeing it taken apart then seeing it being rebuilt, it’s amazing for me.”

The Soldiers are constantly on the move in their workspace, finding problems to solve and fixing them. From the tail rotor to the main rotor.

“This job is always challenging and always something new,” Amundsen said. “It’s all part of making sure the aircraft is 100 percent mission capable.”

The leadership ensures the Soldiers know and understand their roles as helicopter repairers.

“The key thing that we’re trying to instill in our Soldiers in aviation is that it’s very important to have discipline and attention to detail,” Amundsen said.

“Without it, these aircrafts wouldn’t fly the way they need to fly and safely accomplish missions.

Soldiers entered the dark, cold, damp building to find chemical and biological weapons. Their response was crucial to the mission ahead.

They would check specimens from every crevice because what was found in the building would be needed in preparing a case against war crimes.

The scene was set for the Soldiers and Korean Augmention to the United States Army with the 23rd Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Explosive Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division/ ROK-U.S. Combined Division as they conducted quarterly CBRNE training on Camps Stanley and Mobile, South Korea, March 15.

Approximately 700 Soldiers and KATUSAs maintained their certification during the CBRNE exercise evaluation.

“This training is a normal readiness training that prepares us to go into any Weapons of Mass

15

Destruction site,” said Lt. Col. Adam Hilburgh, battalion commander, 23rd CBRNE, 2nd Inf. Div. Combined.

The teams trained for 18 days, including 28 drills, in Mission Oriented Protective Posture, Level-4, the highest level of CBRNE protection from contamination.

Before the chemical teams entered the site, the infantry platoons escorted by CBRNE initial entry teams cleared the building looking for any Improved Explosive Devices, hazards and enemy personnel.

A training scenario was a chemistry lab in a dilapidated building. Teams found 55-gallon drums with florescent liquid on top, empty

munitions shells, a filling station, and a chemical lab with signs, in Hangul, which read “quality inspection.”

The teams reported their findings and received verification from the 23rd CBRNE Bn. to clear the weapons site before continuing the mission.

“Our guys need to be able to identify what’s going on and understand what’s on the site,” said Hilburgh. “We use the current intelligence pictures to tailor our training.”

The teams continued checking the exploitation site while being evaluated by observer/controllers to make sure they were executing the proper sampling or ‘bag and tag’ procedures.

“We tried to give our platoon troop leaders time to correctly go through the procedures and planning,” said Capt. Joshua Frey, an operations officer, 23rd CBRNE Bn., 2nd Inf. Div. Combined. “The junior officers and noncommissioned officers really developed … as they executed the training.”

WARRIOR F I T N ESS BY

OXANA BALAKINA

CAREY GYM SPORTS SPECIALIST The winter season has kept many athletes indoors or in the gym, but good news, spring is here and it’s time to get back outside. TRX suspension training is a great way to mix up your spring workout outdoors.

Suspension training isn’t new, gymnasts have been training on the rings for decades, but only recently TRX was introduced to the general public. The TRX system was invented by ex-Navy SEAL, Randy Hetrick and has been used throughout the military by fitness enthusiasts.

TRX lines can be found in almost every gym and they are beneficial for developing strength, stability, and flexibility. The TRX system is portable and can be used by athletes of various fitness levels.

TRX’s motto is All Core All the Time, and by starting with the basics and keeping proper form, you’ll see rapid improvements. There are over 300 exercises to choose from and to prevent boredom from setting in.

Example of TRX Exercise •Start in a push-up plank position with your feet together, your back flat and your core tight.

•Lower yourself down until your chest is parallel or below your hands.

•Press yourself back up to the starting position making sure to keep your back flat and core tight.

If you are interested in learning to anchor, set and perform proper executions of basic TRX exercises MWR Sports is holding an ongoing Level 1 TRX FORCE Operator’s course.

Eats In Korea A Promise Delivered REVIEW AND PHOTOS BY

Sgt. KELLEN STUART 2ND SUSTAINMENT BDE PUBLIC AFFAIRS My belly argued with me as “To the Colors” and the “Retreat” sounded overhead. As the flag honors noncomissioned officer in charge, I conducted the retirement of the colors ceremony and headed to make peace with the growls, heard only by me.

“Can you take me to Good Neighbor?”

I asked the cab driver.

To which he responded, “Good Neighbor? Good food!”

This was only my second time eating at Good Neighbor, but I was greeted as if I came in to eat every day. I was promptly seated behind the round grill where I was shown how to prepare the Sogalbisal, grilled beef ribs.

Shortly after ordering, I was approached with a multitude of appetizers.

I conducted my pre-combat checks by inventorying everything that was laid in front of me; potato salad, cream corn, kim chi, porcini mushrooms, garlic slices, a sweet vinegary salad, and an onion-based dressing. Check!

Not a moment too soon, my main dish came out. My waiter swiftly cut up the beef ribs along with mushrooms and

onions. The grill began to sizzle and my stomach started to growl - annoyed that I had not taken a bite.

“Wow, I’m glad I skipped lunch today,” I said to myself softly as I bit into my order of Jjin mandu, steamed dumplings.

I quickly grabbed a pair of chopsticks, fumbling for a second, because I am still learning to use them. A couple moments later, Ohyo, the chef, motioned me to dip my dumpling into the onion-based dressing.

Until that moment, I only dipped my dumplings into duck sauce, but from now until the end of time I will use onion-based dressing. The dressing is an item only served at Good Neighbor, which is prepared each morning.

The dressing had a sweet French onion soup taste to it, which complemented the pork inside the dumpling well.

I took the beef ribs, wrapped it in lettuce, added a couple slices of garlic and some of the corn, then ate until the food was gone. Finally the growling calmed and I was satisfied.

As I was leaving Good Neighbor, I mouthed the words on the wall behind the register “We make people happy.” I am happy to say Good Neighbor delivered its promise.

Directions Make a left from gate four out of Camp Carroll, then continue down Seokjeon-ro about a 1/2 mile and the restaurant sits on the right side of the street.

2전투항공여단 헬리콥터 정비는 계속된다

항공 정비에서 세부 사항과 규율에 유의하는 것은 항공기가 부드럽게 운항하는 데 있어서 중요하다. 움직이는 부분들을 점검하기는 쉽지 않은 업 무이지만, 제2보병사단 제2전투항공여단 제602항공보조대대 브라보중대 장병들은 도전하고 있다. 브라보 중대 장병들은 그들의 업무에 헌신적이고 수준 높은 정비를 하는데, 이것은 조종사가 임무를 성공적으로 완수하는데 필수적인 것이다. 브라보 중대 수리공인 칼 아무드센(Sgt. Karl Amundsen) 병장은 “이것은 블랙호크(Black Hawk)이다”며 “이 헬리콥터는 강한 착륙으로 정비를 맡길 수밖에 없었다”고 말했다. 칼은 “우리는 민간인으로 구성된 팀을 불러 기체를 수리하게 하였다”며 “그 다음 우리는 헬리콥터의 모든 부속품을 해체하고 점검한 다음 처음부 터 다시 조립하여 운행할 수 있도록 하였다”고 말했다. 헬리콥터 정비병들은 기체에 어떠한 손상이 가해졌는지 점검하는 것이 그들의 업무 중 하나이다. 그들은 차체 패널을 점검하고 망가진 전자장비 를 찾는다. 브라보 중대의 블랙호크 수리병 스콧 씨더(Pfc. Scott Seither) 일병은 “우리는 항공기에 들어가는 부품 중 너무 오래된 것을 찾아 교체한다”며 “ 우리가 이렇게 자세한 조사를 하는 이유는 상태가 나쁜 것을 찾기 위해서가 아니라 상태가 나빠지기 시작한 것들을 교체하여 사고를 방지하기 위함이 다”고 말했다. 씨더는 이 항공기와 관련된 그의 개인적인 경험을 이야기했다. 씨더가 “우리는 헬기가 정비고에 입고했을때 이런 모든 과정을 시작했다”며 “내가 한국에 처음 왔을 때, 이 항공기의 상태는 말이 아니었다. 부서 진 상태에서 다시 고쳐지기까지의 과정을 모두 지켜보면서, 정말 놀라웠다”고 말했다. 장병들은 그들의 일터에서 항상 바쁘게 문제들은 찾고 정비한다. 어먼드슨이 “이 일은 항상 도전적이고 새롭다”며 “매번 다른 부품들이 고장 나며 수리를 해야 하기 때문에 그렇다,”고 말했다. 그는 “이 모든 것은 항공기가 전적으로 임무를 수행할 수 있는 상태로 만들기 위함이다”고 덧붙엿다. 부대 관리자들은 장병들이 헬리콥터 수리병으로서의 역할을 알고 이해할 수 있도록 힘을 쓴다. 어먼드슨은 “우리가 장병들에게 참된 군인 정신을 일깨워주고 세부적인 사항들에 신경 쓸 수 있도록 항상 노력한다”며 “그들이 없다면, 이 항공기 들은 제대로 작동하여 비행할 수 없을 것이고, 임무도 안전하게 수행할 수 없을 것이다”고 말했다. <기사 및 사진 _ 병장 신디아 로사리오 / 제5기동홍보파견대> <번역 _ 일병 이종국 / 제2보병사단 공보처>

역사를 쌓는 용들의 숨결 이정환 퇴역 육군 대령이 17세였던 1950년, 서울과 한수 이북 지역에 거주하고 있던 피난민들은 공산주의 세력의 남하를 피해 대피하던 중이었 다. 당시 카투사 일병이었던 이정환 퇴역 대령은 단 5일간의 기초 훈련과 5 발의 사격을 마치고 제1기병사단 제82야전포병연대 제1대대 A중대의 포 병으로 배치를 받았다. 그는 처음에는 곡사포(Howitzer)의 탄약수(Loader)로 시작하여 후에는 사수(Gunner)로서 활약하였다. 이정환 퇴역 대령은 “낙동강 전투 당시 수많은 포탄이 날아다니는 것을 보았다”며 “나 또한 포를 장전하고 발사하는 장병 중 하나였다”고 말했다.

3월의 두 번째 주에는 용을 상징하는 제1기병사단 제1기갑전투여단 제 1-82야전포대의 장병 200여 명이 6.25 전쟁 이후 처음으로 한국에서 포탄 사격 훈련을 진행함으로써 “용들의 역사”에 한 획을 그었다. 포병들과 사격지휘통제 조의 검증을 위해 M109A6 팔라딘(Paladin) 자 주포 승무원들은 155mm 포탄을 발사했다. 하지만 무엇보다도 이번 사격 훈련은 단순히 포병들의 검증에만 목표를 두고 있지 않았다.

1-82야전포대 대대장인 중령 더글라스 헤이즈(Lt. Col. Douglas Hayes)는 “[이번 사격 훈련은] 장병들이 부대의 역사와 그들의 선임자들

과 재회하는 데 도움이 됐다”며 “특별히 이정환 퇴역 대령이 부대를 방문 해 장병들에게 자신이 한국 전쟁 당시 제82 야전포병연대의 카투사로서 겪 었던 경험담을 들려주었다”고 말했다. 헤이즈 중령은 한국과 개인적인 연관관계가 있었다. 헤이즈 중령은“나의 할아버지인 더글라스 헛첸스 퇴역 대령(Retired Col. Douglas Hutchens)은 한국 전쟁 당시 위관급 장교였다”며 “그는 항공 관측자로서 비행하는 것을 좋아해 전쟁이 끝나고 비행학교로 가서 조종사 가 되었다”고 말했다.

1950년 7월 18일, 제82야전포병 연대는 제1기병사단과 함께 한반도 에 상륙하여 부산 방어전에서 북한군의 세력을 진압하고 한반도를 방어하 는 데 협력하였다. 부산 방어전에서 그들의 활약으로 대구를 탈환하고, 제82야전포병 연 대는 대한민국 대통령 부대 표창을 받았다. 이러한 부대의 오랜 역사는 지금도 계속 이어지고 있다. 1-82야전포대 A중대 소속의 조태영 상병은 이정환 퇴역 대령처럼 제82 야전포병 연대의 곡사포의 탄약수로 활약할 것이다. 조태영 상병은 이정환 퇴역 대령의 방문에 대해 “굉장하다”며 “마치 나 자신이 역사의 한 부분인 것 같다”고 말했다.

꽃피는 봄이 오면 저는 여자친구가 없는 관

작년 이맘때쯤 논산훈련소에서 만개한 벚꽃과

군대에서 두 번째로 다가온 봄이기에, 입대부터 지

이라는 주제로 질문을 받게 되었습니다. 사실 계로 미팅에 나가겠습니다. 딱 이맘때에는 대

진달래를 보면서 내년에는 기필코 여자친구와 함 금까지 군대에 꽤 오랫동안 있었다는 게 더욱 실감이

꽃놀이 같은 활동을 겨냥하고 하신 질문 같으신 학교에 새내기들이 들어오고 헌내기들도 추억

께 벛꽃 축제를 보러 가겠다고 다짐했던 게 생각납 납니다. 올해 6월 전역인 만큼 남은 군 생활을 잘 마무

데, 여자친구도 없고 꽃가루 알레르기도 있는 팔이 할 겸해서 미팅하고 싶어 하는 여성분들

니다. 그때는 꽃들이 빨리 져버렸으면 좋겠다고 생 리하는 것도 중요하지만, 전역 후 사회로 나가기 위한

관계로 저에겐 외출을 좀 주저하게 되는 계절입 이 많습니다. 특히, 제가 입대 전 마지막으로

각했는데 지금은 정말 아름답고 향기롭게 느껴질 발판을 만들고 그에 따라 준비를 하는 것이 중요하다

니다. 만약 “아직 꽃이 피지 않은 봄”이라 한다 했던 미팅에서 매우 이쁘신 여자분들이 나오

것 같습니다. 인간의 마음이 참 간사하네요. 꽃이 고 여겨집니다. 따라서 이번 봄에는 전역 후 무엇을

면 조금씩 따뜻해지기 시작한 날씨에 힘입어 한 셔서 벌써 기대가 큽니다. 이번 기회에 미팅 피면 공기 맑고 날씨 따뜻한 주말에 여자친구와 같 할지에 대한 계획을 세우고 싶습니다. 먼저, 이번 여 강이나 공원 같은 곳으로 자전거 나들이를 가고 여러 번 나가서 여자친구를 만들고 싶습니다.

이 공원에 놀러가서 돗자리를 깔고 도시락을 먹으 름에 꼭 가고 싶은 유럽 배낭여행 계획을 짜고 싶고,

싶습니다. 굳이 “꽃 피는 봄이 오면 가장 하고 그렇게만 된다면, 여자친구와 벚꽃구경도 가 며 노트북을 가져가 영화도 보고 사진도 찍으며 행 가을이 되어 대학으로 다시 돌아가면 무슨 공부를 할 싶은 것은”을 물으신다면 게임을 좋아하는 사람 고, 여행도 가고, 여러 가지를 함께 하고 싶습

복한 시간을 보냈으면 좋겠습니다. 굳이 먼 곳을 지에 대한 생각을 하고 싶습니다. 또한, 비단 이러한

가지 않아도 한강이나 여의도 공원같이 가까운 곳 단기적인 계획뿐만 아니라 나중에 사회에 진출했을

이기 때문에 야외활동을 삼가며 실내에서 새로 오면 다른 때보다 더 누군가와 함께 있고 싶어

인- 자기 소개를 부탁드립니다 이- 안녕하십니까 사단본부대대 본부지원중 대에서 선임병장으로 복무 중인 병장 이준성 입니다. 1993년 생이며 고려대학교 수학과 에서 3학기까지 재학하다 14년 8월에 입 대했습니다. 선임병장으로 임명되기 전 에는 사단공보처에서 근무했습니다.

병장 이준성 사단본부대대 본부지원중대 선임병장

한 고민을 하는 시간이 되었으면 좋겠습니다.

다. 한미 양국 군의 최신 무기들의 엄청난 화력 과 전시에 수행되는 연합 및 합동작전을 현 장에서 직접 보게 되니 한미 연합 전투력 의 핵심 구성원이 되는 군사외교관으로 서의 자부심이 고취되는 순간이었습니 다.

인- 부대소개를 부탁드립니다 이- 저희 본부지원중대는 제2보병사단/ 한미연합사단이 작전수행태세를 지속할 수 있도록 지휘 및 통제능력을 갖추는데 핵심적인 역할을 하고 있습니다. 전시에 는 비전투원 후송작전(NEO)을 책임지고 있으며 연합작전을 수행하는데 필요한 임무지휘망을 형성해 지원하고 있습니 다. Fight Tonight 그 자체인 부대라고 할 수 있습니다.

인- 전역 후의 계획은? 이- 전역 직후에 잠시 머리를 식히러 여 행을 다녀온 뒤에는 본격적으로 진로에 대한 진지한 고민을 하며 살아갈것 같습 니다. 요즘 20대들이 취업하기도 어렵고 생활해 나가기가 어렵다고 얘기가 많은 데 그런 과정까지 즐기면서 지내려고합 니다. 입대 전 놓고 살았던 학업에도 열 중하고 선임병장을 하며 얻은 경험을 바 탕으로 각종 대외활동을 하면서도 리더 역할을 맡아서 해보고 싶습니다.

인- 여태까지 군대에서 가장 기억에 남 는 에피소드는? 이- 저는 사단 공보처 영상 촬영 및 편집병 으로 근무하며 다수의 훈련에 참관하여 촬 영할 기회가 있었습니다. 그 중 가장 기억 에 남았던 것은 작년 8월에 있었던 통합화 력 격멸훈련 입니다. 광복 70주년을 맞아 건군 이래 최대 규모로 실시된 이 훈련은 대통령께서 참석하실만큼 큰 행사였습니

인- 부대원들에게 한 마디 부탁드립니다. 이- 부족한 저를 믿고 따라주는 중대원 들이 없었더라면 선임병장으로서의 책임을 잘 수행하지 못했을 것입니다. 얼마 남지않은 제 군생활 마무리 잘 할수 있도록 잘 부탁하고 중대원들도 군생활 동안 소중한 시간들 가치있 게 사용하여 건강하게 전역했으면 좋겠습니다.

부활절 부활절은 가장 의미 있는 기독교의 축일 가운데 하나로써 그리스도가 십자가에서 처 형을 당한 후 셋째 날에 부활한 것을 축하하 는 날이다. 따라서 부활절은 가장 오래된 기 독교의 의식 가운데 하나이다. 하지만 이 날 은 사실상 서로 다른 3개의 종교적 전통이 매력적으로 혼합된 것이다. 즉, 부활절 행사 는 기독교의 전통과 유대교, 그리고 이교도 의 전통이 혼합된 것이라고 할 수 있다. 역사적인 기원을 분명하게 단정하기는 어 렵다. 그리스어나 프랑스어의 호칭은 헤브라 이어 유월절인 페샤(Pesā h)에 기초하고 있 고 영어의 이스터(Easter)와 독일어의 오스 테른(Ostern)은 튜턴족(族)의 봄 여신인 에

오스트레(Eostre)에서 파생되었다고 전해 진다. 서기 100년경까지 부활절은 그다지 감동 적인 축제의 형태를 갖추지는 못했지만, 중 요한 축제로 확고하게 자리매김해가는 시기 였다. 하지만 동방교회와 서방교회는 부활절 을 언제로 해야 할 지에 대해 합의점을 찾지 못하고 있었다. 당시 동방교회에서는 유월절 의식에 기초한 평일에 찬성표를 던지며 이를 강하게 주장한 반면, 서방교회는 부활절처럼 중요한 축일은 언제나 일요일이어야 한다는 입장을 견지하고 있었다. 이 문제가 해결될 기미를 보이지 않자, 325년에 콘스탄틴(Constantine) 황제는 이 문제를 니케아(Nicaea) 종교회의에 상정했 다. 이 회의에서는 다른 현안도 조정했지만, 부활절은 반드시 일요일에 지내야 한다고 결 정했다. 덧붙여서 단순히 일요일이 아니라, 춘분 후 첫 번째 보름달이 뜬 다음의 일요일

사랑하는 정은이 보아라♥ 자기야 눈치챘겠지만 이건 내가 자기 몰 래 하는 거야..ㅋㅋ 자기가 나한테 쓴 걸 로 나와 있는 저 편지는 자기가 나에게 재 작년 크리스마스, 우리가 함께한 지 일주 일도 안되었을 때 나에게 써준 편지야. 저 때만 해도 난 아직 자대에 제대로 적응하 지도 못한 갓 일병이었지...그러던 내가 어느새 제대를 앞둔 말년병장이 되어있 고 우리가 함께한 시간도 470일을 향해 서 달려가고 있네요. 돌아보면 순식간이 지만 사실 여기까지 오는 데 많은 일들이 있었고 늘 즐거운 일들만 있었던 건 아니 었어. 하지만 한결같은 자기의 응원과 사 랑 덕분에 멈추지 않고 달릴 수 있었어. 긴 시간 동안 연락도 잘 안 되는 환경에서 쉽지 않았을 텐데 부족한 날 참아주고 아 껴주고 무엇보다 한결같이 기다려줘서 정 말 고마워요 내 사랑♥ 생각해보면 처음 사귈 때는 매일 아침저녁마다 CQ로 달려 내려가서 몇 시간씩 통화하고 자주 편지 를 써도 지치는 줄 몰랐었는데 요즘에는 편지는 좀 자주 못써준 거 같다. 이제부터 는 편지 써달라는 소리가 쏙 들어가게 만 들어줄게! 처음 사귈 때부터 군인이었기 때문에 사실 준 것보다 받은 게 훨씬 많고 기념일도 제대로 챙겨주지 못한 나지만 전역하고 난 다음에는 내가 두 배로 더 잘 하고, 아끼고, 사랑할게요. 주말마다 보는 자기지만 왜 이리 보고 싶은지 모르겠다. 이 편지를 쓰고 있는 지금도 나에게 힘을 주는 나의 사랑스러운 정은아. 같이 힘내 서 한주 마무리 잘하고 곧 만나자! ;)♥♥

이어야 한다는 것이었다. 오늘날 부활절은 3 월 21일 이후 보름달이 뜨는 첫날에 열리는 ‘ 감동적인 축제’이다. 따라서 3월 22일에서 4 월 25일 사이의 모든 일요일이 다 부활절이 될 수 있다. 시간이 흐르면서 부활절은 종교에 앞서 소소한 상징과도 연계되면서 그 모습이 바뀌 어갔다. 달걀, 병아리, 토끼, 사탕 등 부활절 축제에서 사용되는 모든 것들이 부활과 함께 봄을 약속하는 달콤한 상징들이기도 하다
