KMC receives COLA decreaseby Senior Airman Jonathan Stefanko86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Service members in the KMC will notice a pay decrease effective March 16 based on the results of a recent cost of liv-ing allowance survey and Retail Price

Schedule study.The COLA index for all KMC members will

decline by two points; however, the COLA decrease will vary from person to person based on indi-vidual categories, resulting in less pay for KMC members.

“There are many factors that go into how much COLA an individual receives,” said Senior Airman Richard Narvaez, 86th CPTS fi nancial service jour-neyman. “The pay difference will depend on time in service, number of dependents, marital status and so on. It won’t be the same for everyone.”

The RPS study and COLA survey are conducted annually to adjust COLA values based on the cost of living in the area.

“The RPS is used to compare the price of goods and services overseas with the average prices for equivalent goods and services in the U.S.,” said Master Sgt. Kevin Hazen, 86th Comptroller

Squadron chief of customer service. “The result of this comparison is an index that refl ects a cost of living.”

The exchange rate is also a determining factor in how COLA fl uctuates.

“COLA will constantly change since it will adjust to how well the U.S. dollar is doing compared to the euro,” Narvaez said. “It’s best to understand the types of services that banks offer that will most closely match the current exchanges.”

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas — Effective Sept. 30, military members will no longer be able to carry more than 60 days of leave into the next fi scal year, in accordance with 2013 National Defense Authorization Act require-ments.

Unless they are approved for spe-cial leave accrual, regular Air Force and Active Guard Reserve, or AGR, members who have more than 60 days of leave must use it or lose it by Oct. 1, 2015.

The 2010 NDAA included a provi-sion that allowed members to carry up to 75 days of leave forward to the new fi scal year because of limited leave opportunities tied to deployments and other mission requirements. The 2013

75-day leave carry-over ends Sept. 30

An open letter to my Airmen — AGOW styleby Col. Christopher Barnett435th Air Ground Operations Wing

When I came on board 20 months ago, it did not take long for me to realize the Air Ground

Operations Wing, and then sub-sequently the Air Expeditionary Wing, are like no other wings I have ever been associated with.

The AGOW has over 1,200 Airmen from 81 career fields spread across three continents, which are unbelievably effective at execut-ing our five mission areas: expe-ditionary airfields on demand, joint airpower integration, multi-theater operational support and sustainment, premier specialty training, and building partnership capacity.

In Africa, we have over 900 deployed Airmen employing expe-ditionary airpower and ensuring

access through base operation sup-port-integrator; personnel recovery; intelligence, surveillance and recon-naissance; and remotely piloted air-craft operations.

Last year had no shortage of surprises. The crisis with Russian separatists in Ukraine and the Ebola outbreak in Africa were unexpect-ed challenges, and our two wings were tasked for both events. This is despite the fact that AGOW was already performing over 130 opera-tions in 54 countries, training over 3,000 security forces, civil engi-neering, services and personnel Airmen, while supporting over 100 exercises around the area of respon-siblity. It was a busy year, to say the least, and you collectively rose to the challenge and surpassed all expectations.

We live in an age of fiscal con-straint; however, it is also an age of opportunity. Our Airmen are smart-er than ever, and their expertise and

creativity are what keeps the mis-sion going.

Airmen like Tech. Sgt. Robert Grotefend was a crucial member of the 435th AMS team that created the Landing Zone Program. This program generated 10 certified LZ surveyors and eight certified LZ operators, giving U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa its first organic capability to perform these functions — all with a zero manpower cost to the command and savings on the order of $25,000 per survey.

Senior Airman Jose Torres engi-neered a do-it-yourself solution to drainage issues we were having at one of our sites in Africa. Thanks to his out-of-the-box thinking and fabrication skills, the site now has working washers and dryers — a huge quality of life win for folks living in austere conditions.

Family is the foundation of our success. We have a great Air Force

family, but I have to highlight our spouses and children, who forfeit so much of their wants and needs for us. I cannot overstate how much they do for us behind the scenes to help make the mission go. Our 2014 Key Spouse of the Year, Alicia Barnett (no relation), led the “Books for Africa” project, which provided books and journals to an Ethiopian village. That, just as much as the missions our air advisers exe-cute, builds partnership capacity.

As we continue through 2015, there is no doubt that our AORs will continue to have strategic impor-tance to the United States and its allies. So, here is my challenge to you. Stay light. Stay lethal. Continue to execute the mission with the excellence that only you can, but remember to take care of yourselves, your peers and your families. I am humbled to be associ-ated with you, and I cannot wait to see all of your future successes.

Carter takes office as 25th defense secretaryby Cheryl PellerinDepartment of Defense News, Defense Media Activity

WASHINGTON — Ash Carter became the 25th secretary of defense Feb. 17 after having served previously as deputy defense secretary, defense acquisition chief and assistant secre-tary for global strategic affairs.

President Barack Obama nominat-ed Carter for the position, calling Carter an innovator and a reformer who knows the Defense Department inside and out.

“On Day One, he’s going to hit the ground running,” the president said.

At his Feb. 4 Senate Armed Services

Committee confirmation hearing, Carter described the work that lies ahead for him and the department.

“I think we are in a time where the number and severity of risks is some-thing I’ve not seen before in my life,” he told the Senate panel.

For Carter, the job will include dealing with coalition responsibilities in Afghanistan and Iraq, and what he described as “the malignant and sav-age terrorism” emanating from tur-moil in the Middle East and North Africa.

He’ll also take on what has become a reversion to what he’s called old-style security thinking in parts of Europe, long-standing tensions and

rapid changes in Asia, a continuing imperative to counter the spread of weapons of mass destruction, and dangers in new domains such as cyber.

Carter’s own expertise, experience, travels and interests in defense and national security have prepared him precisely to deal with these challenges and more.

As former Sen. Joe Lieberman said in introductory remarks during Carter’s hearing, “It would really be hard to find someone to serve as sec-retary of defense who combines as much practical Pentagon experience with so deep a background in national security policy as Ash Carter.”

NDAA extended that provi-sion through the end of fiscal year 2015.

“Airmen need to be aware of the change so that they can plan leave accordingly and ensure their leave bal-ance is 60 days or fewer by the end of the fiscal year,” said 1st Lt. Nate Strickland, Air Force Personnel Center spe-cial programs branch chief. “Even if you don’t have more

than 60 days now, by Sept. 30, you may accrue enough leave time to be over the limit.”

Some Reserve members could be affected as well, said Lt. Col. Belinda Petersen, Air Reserve Personnel Center public affairs.

“All Reserve members accrue leave when they are on active-duty orders for 30 days or longer, and Active Guard Reserve members accrue leave the same way regular Air Force members do, so the extension

expiration will affect them,” she said. “If you aren’t sure wheth-er or not you’re affected, you should talk to your supervi-sor, or contact your military personnel section for informa-tion.”

Members who have approved special leave accru-al are exempted from the use-or-lose rule, Strickland said.

Special leave accru-al approval is for members who couldn’t use their leave

because of a national emer-gency, crisis, catastrophe or national security situations.

“SLA is only granted when Airmen cannot take leave under those circumstances,” the lieutenant said.

Air Force retirees who do not have a myPers account can find instructions to cre-ate an account at www.

retirees.af.mil/shared/media/ document/AFD-120510-068.pdf.

Editor’s note: SLA will automatically start for mem-bers deployed to a HFP/IDP area for a continuous period of at least 120 days. For other situations (i.e., catastrophe, national emergency or crisis or operations in defense of national security), it must be approved by the wing com-mander.

Airmen earn 1,671 college credits during CLEP-a-thonStory and photos by Senior Airman Damon Kasberg86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Just as people gather to begin the first steps of a marathon, hundreds of Airmen from Ramstein Air Base flocked to the National Testing Center to earn 1,671 college cred-its during the CLEP-a-thon Feb. 9 to 13.

The weeklong event gave Airmen the opportunity to test for college credits

that go toward their Community College of the Air Force degree or any upper-level degree an individu-al might be working on.

“I had never taken a CLEP before this week, and now I’ve completed 28 college credits,” said Airman 1st Class Jasmine Hunt, 693rd Intelligence Support Squadron cyber system operator.

In order to earn their CCAF degree, Airmen must complete 64 credit hours. Although the journey may seem long to some, the CLEP-a-thon allowed Airmen to complete as many credit hours as they wanted and helped Airmen sprint to their CCAF goal instead of slowly strolling.

College Level Examination Programs and DANTES Subject Standardized Tests are based on the premise that some individuals enrolling in college have already learned part of what is taught there. These programs allow individuals to demon-strate their college level learning by taking exami-nations that assess the knowledge and skills taught in college courses.

“By taking and passing a CLEP or DSST exam, students can earn their degree much faster,” said Michael Jones, 86th Force Support Squadron edu-cation services specialist. “A great example of this is Airman Hunt. During this last CLEP-a-thon, she earned over 25 college credits. This is just about the equivalent of one year of college, and she did it in one week.”

To add a little competitive edge to the CLEP-a-thon, the Ramstein Education Office had Airmen write their name on a bulletin board every time they passed a test to see which squadron could have the

most Airmen earn credits. After five days of test-ing, the results are in. The 86th Security Forces Squadron had the most Airmen participate, and they passed a total of 40 tests.

“There were more than 700 tests given through-out the week, and it was great seeing so many people participate,” Jones said. “While the CLEP-a-thon may be over, anyone can still sign up to take a test. As long as they are command-sponsored, it does not matter what branch of military they fall under.”

Though the CLEP-a-thon has ended, unlike a marathon, the race to seek knowledge and bet-ter oneself never ends. Airmen are still able to schedule test dates for any course they wish to earn credits for by contacting their on-base education center.

Airmen wait their turn to test during a CLEP-a-thon Feb. 13 on Ramstein. The weeklong event held by the education center gave Airmen the opportunity to take CLEPs and DSSTs on the spot with more than 700 tests being completed and 1,671 college credits earned. The credits earned go toward the individual’s Community College of the Air Force degree or any upper-level degree they may be working toward with the convenience of not having to schedule test dates weeks in advance.

Names of Airmen who’ve successfully passed a test during a CLEP-a-thon hang on a board Feb. 13 on Ramstein.

by Christian FührerChapel Next volunteer

In 1996, two Protestant chaplains at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, developed a novel form of contempo-rary Protestant worship. Their idea was to put more empha-sis on the needs of young military families and to pro-vide a Christ-centered spiri-tual experience in a come-as-you-are worship atmosphere. Barely four years later, the new concept became known as Chapel Next, a designation it retains to this day.

In the summer of 2012, a Chapel Next service was initiated at Kaiserslautern’s Daenner Chapel by Chaplain (Col.) Marc A. Gauthier, who at that time served as the 21st Theater Sustainment Command command chaplain at nearby Panzer Kaserne. The new service soon attract-ed people from all walks of contemporary Protestant life in the KMC.

Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Douglas L. Prentice, 21st TSC deputy command chaplain and cur-rent senior pastor of Chapel Next at Daenner Chapel, said the service focuses on “con-necting with God, connecting with each other and connect-ing others with God. Many people in today’s military look for authenticity in faith, for a house of worship where they can meet fellow believ-

ers and experience Christ’s unconditional love in a casual atmosphere.”

Isaac S. Smith, a long-time Kaiserslautern resident who has been attending Protestant services at Daenner Chapel for many years, added, “Once the new service had start-ed, the congregation began to grow with people coming from all over the commu-nity. It is encouraging to see people from many different backgrounds coming together for prayer and worship.”

No fewer than eight chaplains from U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz units are part of Chapel Next’s pastoral team with each chap-lain holding responsibility for a particular activity.

While most of these chap-lains “were raised in differ-ent Protestant traditions, they build on the common plat-form of the Chapel Next wor-ship concept and thus form a genuine team,” said Chaplain (Capt.) Joshua H. Kim, Special Troops Battalion, 21st TSC.

Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Douglas C. Swift, U.S. Army NATO, who is also part of Chapel Next’s pastoral team, said, “Chaplains take turns preaching on Sundays, but all agree on the fundamen-tals that define Chapel Next: down-to-earth, scripture-based, authentic preaching that imparts a key message.”

Chapel Next offers a wide

range of activities in which to get involved. Apart from small group gatherings, break-fast fellowships, a fellowship meal on the first Sunday of the month, children’s church during worship services, and a vibrant contemporary music and worship ministry, Chapel Next encourages members to join community-wide Christian activities, such as Club Beyond, Protestant Men of the Chapel and Protestant Women of the Chapel.

From time to time, Chapel Next members support out-reach projects sponsored by other organizations in the community.

“Last fall, we volunteered with the Kaiserslautern Kindergraves Memorial Foundation to clean up the graves of American mili-tary children buried on Kaiserslautern’s main ceme-tery between 1952 and 1971,” said Mary Migala, Chapel Next parish and religious

education coordinator. “It was a wonderful activity that brought together more than 20 members of our congregation and a great outreach opportu-nity that helped us minister to other parts of the community.”

Chapel Next services begin at 10 a.m. every Sunday, and child care is provided.

Outside in blustery, cold wind and freezing temperatures, Army North conducted a Training Proficiency External Evaluation of the 7th Civil Support Command’s 773rd Civil Support Team’s unit readiness to respond to a real-world Chemical, Biological, Radiological or Nuclear event, Feb. 2 to 12.

The scenario evaluated on Feb. 6 involved possible criminal activity and radioactive material.

“We are being evaluated on our ability to react to an incident,” said Staff Sgt. Shawn McKenna, site survey team leader with the 773rd

CST. “It would be weapons of mass destruction or a chemical spill.

“We will determine the radioactive material source and identification,” McKenna continued. “We will use our detection equipment to locate and ID the radioactive isotope.”

Capt. Jon Underberg, survey team leader, 773rd CST, gave an initial mis-sion brief before the team launched their site survey mission. ARNORTH evaluates the 773rd every 12 to 18 months, he said.

“They’re doing an external evalua-tion,” Underberg said. “They are here to validate our unit for real-world CBRN missions.”

Transportation to a service member’s next duty loca-tion is an important part of one’s career. Without

aerial port squadrons around the world, Airmen would have a harder time getting to their bases, especially if that base is overseas.

The 721st Aerial Port Squadron, operating out of Ramstein Air Base, is a hub for air travel throughout Europe and is one of the largest aerial ports in the mili-tary.

“The 721st APS provides freight, passenger and fleet ser-vices to all aircraft transiting in and out of Ramstein,” said Master Sgt. Darlene Clement, 721st APS Passenger Services Operations NCO in charge. “We get around 13,000 passengers that fly through this terminal during the slower months and just above 20,000 during the busier months.”

Flights to and from Ramstein not only include service mem-bers who are permanently chang-ing duty stations, but they also offer space available flights for Department of Defense ID card-holders who travel for leisure. The Space-A flights are a service the terminal offers, but there are requirements that must be met in order to use this service.

“If you have a DOD ID card, it’s in your best interest to come to

the terminal to see if you’re eligi-ble to fly Space-A,” Clement said. “We get a lot of passengers that get their information from third parties and it’s inaccurate when they get here. If you come in and ask us 100 questions, we will give you 100 answers.”

Many of the passengers who fly Space-A are command-sponsored dependents or active-duty service members on leave; however, there are other people who can fly under different circumstances, such as non-appropriated fund employees under emergency conditions.

“I’ve had a lot of customer ser-vice-oriented jobs in my life and working here has made me real-ize that I love working with peo-ple,” said Airman 1st Class Judge Wright, 721st APS Passenger Services agent. “It’s easy to think you’re just putting people on

vacation, but if you really take a second to think about it, the people you’re getting home might have been deployed and just want to see their families. Being able to be a part of that makes my job rewarding.”

In addition to transporting ser-vice members and their families, the terminal personnel have their hands on other important mis-sions.

“We have missions ranging from presidential to special opera-tions,” Wright said. “We pretty much have our hands in every-thing; that’s the cool part of our job.”

Whether it’s sending people off to complete the mission, getting troops home or having the presi-dent pass through, the job of the 721st APS is to take care of cus-tomers.

The 86th Civil Engineer Group host-ed a training day Feb. 12 with its engineering technicians and explo-sive ordnance disposal Airmen

teaching a core task to fellow comrades who are qualified in other CE skill sets.

Training days, or Prime BEEF days, allow Airmen to hone and develop their skills in dif-ferent areas. During this day, the engineering technicians and EOD shared the knowledge they use every day on reading maps and compasses to teach land navigation to more than 190 Airmen across career fields.

“I am glad I could use my everyday skills to help out my CE brothers,” said Senior Airman Raymond Cage, 86th Civil Engineer Squadron training instructor. “I know that maybe the next Prime BEEF day anyone else in CE could be teaching me something, so I am doing my best to show them what I know.”

Land navigation is a task all civil engineer Airmen are required to understand and perform. One of the reasons is because, at any time, tech-nology may fail them.

“With 12 AFSCs, we find ourselves spread out throughout the world,” said Tech. Sgt. Samuel Lewis, 786th Civil Engineer Squadron Prime BEEF training NCO in charge. “This also means that we will be outside the wire and we must be able to stand up a bare base. Our engineers must be able to navigate and have the foundation if (for whatever reason) they get lost or their technology breaks.”

Training Airmen is not a regular occurrence for Cage or other Airmen in the engineering techni-cian career field team. On a normal day, an 86th CES engineering technician may go from main-taining floor plants to surveying and creating detailed maps for tactical use.

“We like to think we provide some of the best maps around,” said Senior Airman Dwayne Stewart, 86th CES instructor. “I like my job and the impact I have on the Ramstein and KMC mission.”

Stewart said he hopes the training and the engi-neer technician’s dedication to the mission allows a few more civil engineers to know the founda-tion of land navigation and understand how engi-neer technicians impact the mission.

The Warrior Transition Battalion-Europe hosted the European Regional Warrior Games time trials for wounded warriors across Europe Feb. 13 on Vogelweh.

The time trials are a competition to see how warriors stack up against their fellow brothers-in-arms in track

and field and other competitive events.“A big part of the Warrior Transition Battalion

is adaptive sports, which is a part of our recovery process,” said Army Staff Sgt. Ollie Knowland, Warrior Transition Unit wounded warrior. “Every day, the unit does different things to help us recover, and this event is one of those efforts.”

Wounded warriors from Baumholder, Kaiserslautern, Wiesbaden, Stuttgart, Vilseck and Grafenwöhr came out to compete in the events.

“Our events today include air rifle, the 1,500-meter run, 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash, shot put and discus,” said Dr. Linda A. Steil, Warrior Transition Battalion-Europe adaptive recondition-ing site coordinator for the military adaptive sports program. “We also have a 30-kilometer bike time trial and a 20-kilometer recumbent bike time trial on Rhine Ordnance Barracks.”

Whether the contestants make it to the Warrior

Games or not, the Warrior Transition Battalion is dedicated to helping service members along in the recovery process.

“Our ultimate goal is to return these service mem-bers to active duty,” Steil said. “If not, we want to return them to a new normal so they can function

well in society and progress. There’s a satisfaction that comes with being able to watch a person return to functioning normally.”

The Marine Corps will be hosting the Wounded Warrior Games in Quantico, Virginia, starting in mid-June.

rehearsal and a separate decontamina-tion and medical brief as ARNORTH observer/controllers looked on.

Underneath their protective suits, each member of the site survey team wore a small beeper-type device called a Thermal Luminous Detector that measures radiation in the air. The TLD monitored their radiation expo-

sure, which is limited by the opera-tional exposure guidance.

The medical team is composed of two 773rd CST Soldiers who take care of the survey team in case of an emergency. They check vital signs beforehand and upon return from the site survey.

As the medical team headed out of the briefing tent, they also received coaching, mentoring and feed-

back from ARNORTH O/CT Mark Stiftinger, Department of the Army civilian.

“His brief gave us valuable insight,” said Capt. Shawnda Bass, 773rd CST’s medical officer.

It has been going well, has solidi-fied things being done right and has identified things that can be improved, he added.

The overall ARNORTH TPE was

summed up by John Nonemaker, division chief of the Civil Support Training Activity with ARNORTH.

He said the ARNORTH O/CTs are another set of eyes for the 773rd CST commander to make an “assessment of the readiness of his unit.”

“It’s a tool commanders can use to understand where they’re at and pro-vide information for best practices,” Nonemaker said.

Word ScrambleUnscramble these Air Force squadron nicknames

Good day, or “Guten Tag,” my fur-less followers. This week I took time off from the Ramstein mission to focus on a local event — Fasching!

It was time to celebrate and party, with cheese! Well, I hope you got your party on, because by the time you read this, it will be over. Let’s discuss what Fasching is.

Traditionally, it was celebrated by the Roman Catholic communities of Germany, Switzerland and Austria, but now it is celebrated everywhere in dif-ferent forms.

A similar event with close roots is Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, celebrated in New Orleans. I had a cousin in New Orleans who used to play with a jazz band; he played the tambourine with his mouth.

Humans celebrate with a variety of things, including parades and dressing up like animals. I mean, look at me. How can you not want to dress like an awesome, cheese-loving pup?

So, when do the celebrations hap-pen? “Weiberfastnacht,” the Thursday before Ash Wednesday, is the start. The weekend afterward is full of communi-ty events and parties. “Rosenmontag,” or Rose Monday, is when most of the

large scale celebrations happen. Then you have “Fastnachtsdienstag,” the last day to party. So, you had a whole week to involve yourself in the culture. I know I enjoyed the parade in Ramstein village Tuesday.

So, friends, things may vary since everybody celebrates differently, but everybody likes to party. So I hope you had a Fasching-great time and that you keep enjoying the local culture.

The community of Olsbrücken will observe a special custom Sunday after Fasching — the burning of winter.

The hiking club Pfälzerwaldverein will co-sponsor this annual event,

which has been held since 1990.Hikers interested in joining the spring bon-

fire will meet at 6 p.m. at the Dorfplatz (village square) in Olsbrücken. The mayor will hold an opening speech, and village officials will sell torches for €2. The torchlight procession will then proceed through the village up to the old sports field on Oberberg hill.

“We will walk for about 2 kilometers to our forest hut on Oberberg hill,” said Ronny Faul, chairman of the PWV hiking club Olsbrücken. “It should take about 35 minutes.”

Usually, about two to three weeks prior to the event, members of the hiking group start putting up a 4.5-meter-high pile of wood to be burned near the sports field.

“Christmas trees from local residents are used to make this pile,” Faul said.

When all hikers have arrived, they will throw their torches into the pile under the supervision of the local fire department. The fire will start, and winter will be burned.

“Our club is running a hut on that hill, where sausages and beverages will be served,” Faul said. “We expect about 500 to 600 guests to join this annual event.”

For more information, visit www.pwv- olsbruecken.de.

Other communities in the Pfalz will say goodbye to winter with so-called summer day

parades leading through the town, ending with the burning of piles or figures made of straw and wood.

In the wine-growing village of Neuleiningen, the burning of winter and parade will take place at 2:30 p.m. March 15.

More celebrations will start at 2:30 p.m. in Speyer, where after the parade a snowman will be burned.

The wine-growing community of Forst is known for its parade with a performance presenting the fight between winter and summer. Activities will begin at 2 p.m. March 15.

Story and photo by Airman 1st Class Tryphena Mayhugh86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

When working in a profession that strongly recommends, and even requires, a healthy life-style, it can be confusing or overwhelming to know what is and is not true regarding health and fitness.

The Healthy Living Class held at Health Promotion (formerly the Health and Wellness Center) provides the answers to questions one might have in pursuit of a healthier lifestyle.

“Most people look to the Internet for answers and it’s full of misinformation,” said 1st Lt. Lindsey Leitz, Health Promotion nutri-tion program manag-er and class instructor. “One example of a myth commonly believed is that eating after a cer-tain point in the night will cause you to gain weight.”

According to informa-tion provided in the class, it is actually better to eat a minimum of three meals a day plus snacks, con-suming healthy options every two to four hours up to the time one retires. This allows the body’s metabolism to remain at its peak performance.

“Metabolism is like a fire,” Leitz said. “There has to be enough wood on the fire to let it burn; we need to eat to keep fueling the fire. We have to get rid of the guilt surrounding eating the things we enjoy.”

The purpose of the 90-minute class is to educate attendees on healthy eating so what is discussed can be applied to everyday life.

“This course teaches you valuable tools and how to change your mindset,” said Lt. Col. James Mullinax, 2nd Air Postal Squadron commander. “I came to the class because I’m

trying to live a healthy, balanced lifestyle.”A mindset taught in the class is that fad diets

and denying little pleasures is not the best course toward being healthy.

“All foods fit,” Leitz said. “That’s my main point. If you realize you have a sweet tooth, you shouldn’t cut out sweets all together. You have a sweet tooth. Instead, only have one sweet a day, and don’t shackle yourself to one kind. Change it up each day, just in moderation.”

The concepts taught in class can be applied to all walks of life, fitness goals or health issues.

“I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone interested in taking it,” Mullinax said. “You don’t have to be part of a program

to attend.”Airmen are not the

only members of the community to whom the class is offered.

The class is available to anyone — active-duty, dependents or locals with base access, Leitz said.

“They can walk in based off our calendar schedule (located in the Health Promotion lobby and on Facebook), or they can call and ask for class times,” she said. “My only requirement is punctuality. If anyone arrives late, I ask them to

return at a later date.“I’m also available to bring the class to

them,” Leitz continued. “I can come out to units and teach the course or give a 10-minute brief at commanders’ calls.”

It can be difficult trying to juggle work and personal schedules with a consistent healthy diet. The Healthy Living Class provides the tools for Airmen and anyone else to keep that struggle bal-anced. When all Airmen are fit to fight, the Air Force can continue to fly, fight and win.

For more information, call 480-4292 or 06371-47-4292.

Sembach fi fth-graders begin Read and Ride Programby Shane SharpEurope Regional Medical Command Public Affairs

Fifth-graders at Sembach Middle School are combining exercise and aca-demics in a recently implemented Read and Ride pilot program designed to boost physical activity and reading time.

With the Read and Ride program, students spend three 20-minute ses-sions per week reading while they pedal on small, stationary cycles. These sessions may seem short, but the program doubles the amount of structured physical activity the stu-dents get per week and increases silent, sustained reading time by about 40 percent on a weekly basis, said Dr. Cynthia Jackson, instructional systems specialist for P.E./Health Education at the Department of Defense Education Activity-Europe.

Initial feedback from the reading riders is positive.

“It’s pretty fun,” said fi fth-grader Curtis Gardner. “I have a BMX bike at home, and in the summer I like to ride it down a big hill. I like to read sports books, too. This is like combining them together, so it makes it real fun.”

The program is a partnership between DODEA Europe, Army

Europe Regional Medical Command, the Rheinland-Pfalz Sergeant Morales Club and the local chapter of the Association of the U.S. Army.

Army Maj. Jessica Counts, ERMC System for Health program manager, introduced the Read and Ride pro-gram, which is being used in some U.S. schools, to Jackson as a way to increase the amount of physical activ-ity students receive on a weekly basis. As part of the Performance TRIAD, the Army surgeon general recommends 150 minutes of activity per week. Counts found a willing collaborator in Jackson for the pilot program; Jackson was also seeking ways to promote physical activity for students.

“Physical activity is part of the Army surgeon general’s Performance TRIAD, which also promotes improve-ments in sleep and nutrition habits in addition to adequate exercise,” said Brig. Gen. Van Coots, commander of Europe Regional Medical Command. “This program is an excellent example of what the Performance TRIAD is all about. Small improvements in critical areas can make a big difference.”

“Increasing reading competency is a top goal of the Sembach Middle School so we thought the program would be a good fi t,” Jackson said.

“We contacted the P.E. teacher, Mr. Street, who helped spearhead the initiative and recruit teachers. The Sembach Middle School fi fth-grade teachers Ms. DeGavage and Ms. Steigerwalt enthusiastically agreed to become part of the pilot.”

Identifying classes to participate in the program was only half of the start-up work. The program still needed enough pedals for all the fi fth-grade feet at the middle school.

Jackson said NCOs with the 21st Theater Sustainment Command arranged for the Rheinland-Pfalz Sergeant Morales Club to fund half of the equipment costs. The other half of the costs were provided by the local chapter and regional organi-zation of the AUSA.

After arrangements were made to purchase the necessary low-pro-fi le cycle units, the program began in January and has been met with enthu-siasm from both teachers and students.

“We are glad our school was cho-sen for the pilot,” said Rosemary DeGavage, Sembach Middle School fi fth-grade teacher. “When they asked if we were interested, we said, ‘You bet!’ It’s wonderful to have an opportu-nity to start something like this, and the students have loved being involved. If we are busy in the classroom and end

up late for Read and Ride time, they are quick to let me know. It’s some-thing they really look forward to.”

The Read and Ride program is designed so the students have owner-ship in their progress.

“This is a student program,” Jackson said. “They track their own data in areas like reading competency, fi tness tests and body mass index. They established their baseline data in January, and they will test again in April and then in June. Once the data is compiled, if the results are posi-tive, we will offer (the Read and Ride Program) up to other schools.”

Early results are encouraging, espe-cially in reading.

“We’ve already seen improve-ment in their excitement for reading,” Jackson said.

The students seem to agree, but they also brought up one critical area that can make or break the experience on an individual level.

“Pedaling on the bikes makes it more interesting. I’m so into my book I don’t even notice how much I’m pedaling,” said fi fth-grader Isabella Taylor. “Of course, if you don’t have a book you like, it would be boring and it would feel like it was lasting forever.”

Teaching children proper oral hygiene care at a young age is an invest-ment they will carry

throughout their lives. When parents take their own den-

tal hygiene seriously, it continually reinforces the importance of a healthy mouth to their children. Starting chil-dren on the path to good oral hygiene early is imperative to success — perhaps earlier than many might think.

A child’s initial visit to the dentist should happen within six months after the first tooth comes in. This is usually right around his or her first birthday. This first visit will equip parents with essential pediatric oral hygiene tips and also familiarizes the child with the dental office.

It is important for children to feel comfortable during the first visit, and the way parents prepare them can be the most important factor. It is best

for parents to start a conversation with their child that builds excitement and lets them know they get to smile a lot and show off their beautiful teeth.

It’s completely normal for chil-dren to be a bit apprehensive at first. However, they look up to Mom and Dad more than anyone else. When parents remain calm and encouraging throughout the process, children are likely to respond similarly.

What exactly can parents expect from the first visit?

The dental clinic’s pediatrics team provides a full examination of the children’s teeth and gums so they can monitor growth and development. They offer a gentle cleaning, dem-onstrate several proper techniques to correctly brush and floss, and finish up with a bubble-gum or straw-berry flavored fluoride treatment.

For children ages 4 and older, the clinic may also take X-rays to see in between their teeth. The children usually love to look at their X-rays as the dentist tells them all about their teeth.

Like adults, children should visit the dentist every six to 12 months. In between visits, parents remain the most significant role-model to teach their child healthy oral hygiene prac-tices.

Strong, healthy teeth early in child-

hood often results in confident chil-dren and greatly improves their qual-ity of life.

Parents should call the Ramstein Dental Clinic at 479-2210 or 06371-46-2210 to schedule their child for his or her first dental examination.

The best way for children to start feeling comfortable at the dentist is for parents to build excite-ment and let them know they get to show off their beautiful teeth.

Soldiers dominate Armed Forces Cross Countryby Tim HippsU.S. Army Installation Management Command

BOULDER, Colorado — The All-Army men swept the top six spots and the women claimed four of their top six positions as the black and gold dominated the 2015 Armed Forces Cross Country Championships at Flatirons Golf Course, Feb. 7.

The Army men’s dominance marked the first time in U.S. Armed Forces Cross Country history that a team has swept the top six spots, said Ken Polk, Armed Forces Sports program manager.

Army Reserve Pfc. Stanley Kebenei, of Fayetteville, Arkansas, won the men’s 12-kilome-ter race in 37 minutes, 28 seconds. Spc. Caroline Jepleting, of Landstuhl, Germany, won the women’s eight-kilometer race in 30:01.

The Armed Forces Championships were run in conjunction with the USA Track and Field Winter National Cross Country Championships, and the top six finishers in both races automatically quali-

fied for Team USA at the International Amateur Athletics Federation 2015 World Cross Country Championships, which will take place in Guiyang, China, March 28.

U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program, or WCAP, runner Spc. Augustus Maiyo, of Fort Carson, Colorado, was second among Armed Forces men with a time of 37:29, followed by Spc. Emmanual Bor (38:47), of Fort Bliss, Texas; WCAP Spc. Aron Rono (38:52), of Fort Carson; Spc. Samuel Kosgei (39:38), of Fort Riley, Kansas; and Spc. Laban Sialo (39:55), of Fort Carson.

The top five finishers for each squad counted in the Armed Forces men’s team scoring. The Army men won with 15 points, followed by Air Force (37), Navy (46) and Marine Corps (55).

Navy Lt. Amanda Rice (31:00), of Naval Air Facility Atsugi, Japan, was second among Armed Forces women, followed by Pfc. Susan Tanui (31:05), of Fort Riley, Kansas. First Lt. Chelsea Prahl (fifth in 31:22), of Joint Base Lewis-McChord,

Washington, and former WCAP Maj. Emily Potter (sixth in 31:43), of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, rounded out the All-Army women’s scor-ing.

The top four finishers for each squad counted in the Armed Forces women’s team scoring. The Army women prevailed with 15 points, followed by Air Force (60), Navy (60) and Marine Corps (71).

Chris Derrick, of Portland, Oregon, won the USA open men’s division with a time of 36:18, and was followed by Robert Curtis (36:48), of Rochester, Michigan, and Dathan Ritzenhein (36:51), of Belmont, Michigan. Kebenei and Maiyo finished eighth and ninth, respectively, and may advance to the world championships as alternates. Although Jepleting won the Armed Forces women’s division, she did not qualify for the world champi-onships.

The Gambler

Jim Bennett is a risk taker. Both an English professor and a high-stakes gambler, Bennett bets it all when he borrows from a gangster and o� ers his own life as collateral. Always one step ahead, Bennett pits his creditor against the opera-tor of a gambling ring and leaves his dysfunctional relationship with his wealthy mother in his wake. He plays both sides, immersing him-self in an illicit, underground world while garnering the attention of Frank, a loan shark with a pater-nal interest in Bennett’s future. As his relationship with a student deepens, Bennett must take the ultimate risk for a second chance.

Starring Jessica Lange, Mark Wahlberg
