U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden has a new commander sergeant major after a change-of-responsibility
ceremony Aug. 21 at the Clay Kaserne chapel.
Command Sgt. Maj. Larry Addington was tasked
with the responsibility of U.S. Army Garrison Wies-
baden by Garrison Commander Col. Mary Martin after
outgoing Command Sgt. Maj. Roy Rocco presented her
the colors, signifying his time at the garrison was over.
“Sgt. Maj. Addington, I welcome you,” said Martin
in a speech after the ceremonial transfer. “There’s a
lot of great things to see and do here — hopefully
you enjoy the journey and you and your family feel
welcome here.”
To her outgoing command sergeant major, Martin
offered her thanks and well wishes for his journey
ahead.
“Thirteen months ago when I arrived in Wiesbaden,
I was met by Command Sgt. Maj. Rocco,” Martin
said. “From that day forward, I had a battle buddy.

Commentary
Ask the commander
First, please help me welcome Command Sgt.
Maj. Larry E. Addington and his family to U.S. Army
Garrison Wiesbaden, Our Home in Germany. CSM
Addington, I’m looking forward to the journey and all
you will do to make a difference in USAG Wiesbaden.
On to the commentary: As always, thank you
for your comments, concerns and most of all, your
observations; together we can make USAG Wiesbaden one of the best communities in our Army. As
we continue with our progress, let us be mindful to
take extra care in making the areas in and around the
Garrison look the very best; yes, I know the extreme
heat of summer caused the grass to be a little brown
but some of you have done some amazingly creative
things to beautify your space. For that, we thank you
and please keep it up!
Some of my (and your) favorite holidays will be
here before we know it and we are getting geared up
to make USAG Wiesbaden look and feel more like the
holidays we’ve come accustomed to know back home
(wherever home is/was) — we’ll have more details for
you at our next Community Information Exchange.
In the meantime, and back to what’s happening
soon, school starts on Aug. 31 (kids, your vacation is
almost over) so let’s get ready to start the school year
off with safety and patience in mind. Therefore, give
yourself ample time to make it through the Hainerberg
ACP (the first day of school may feel like when we
first opened the ACP); don’t drop your student off
in unsafe, non-drop off areas; and when available,
please utilize the school bus service to save time. We
are looking forward to a fabulous school year — I
hope you are too! Vielen Dank!

Tax Center
concludes
season
BOSS bids farewell to Rocco
By Capt. Rufus Allen
Special to the Herald Union
Filing taxes can be difficult anywhere,
but living overseas often makes the process
more burdensome for many taxpayers.
With later filing deadlines, time zone
differences, and the complexities of living
in a foreign taxing jurisdiction and multiple
treaties, Americans often get confused
before they can file their Form 1040 with
the IRS.
In response, the Army has continued
to provide tax assistance centers, where
Soldiers, retirees and overseas civilian
employees can receive top-of-the-line tax
preparation services at no cost.
On June 15, the Wiesbaden Tax
Assistance Center closed its doors on
the 2014 tax preparation cycle after a
successful four and a half months providing
tax services to the U.S. Army Garrison
Wiesbaden community. Having returned
over $4.1 million to the USAG Wiesbaden
community in refunds and saved tax
preparation fees, the tax center has come
to be an important benefit for Soldiers,
civilians and retirees alike.
Almost 1,400 Families took advantage
of this free service, saving them $630,000
in tax preparation fees. Clients’ satisfaction
with the convenience of the service, and
the the courtesy and professionalism of
the staff, was reflected in a 100 percent
satisfaction rating in the Interactive
Customer Evaluation system.
While many tax issues can be made
incredibly difficult by living overseas, the
Wiesbaden Tax Center preparers rose to
the occasion, filing over 262 Schedule E
rental home income schedules, claiming
Earned Income Credits for 111 military
families, and preparing 229 paper returns
for our retirees protected by the U.S./
German tax treaty provisions.
The Tax Center managed all of this
with fewer staff, both Soldiers and civilian
employees. The Tax Center reacted,
implementing new policies to speed
returns and provide maximum coverage
to all taxpayers. Even facing challenges,
the Wiesbaden Tax Center met its goal
of providing quality tax preparation
services to the taxpayers in the Wiesbaden
community.
If you value this service, we invite
you to file a positive Interactive Customer

Family, friends and the USAG Wiesbaden community
By Paul “The Brit” Hughes
AFN Wiesbaden
You can pick your friends, but you can’t pick your family.
When I got a moment away from the microphone
after a particularly busy show, I took stock of the wealth
of information that had been just been submitted to AFN
Wiesbaden by the community and I had a thought; this
amazing community that I have become a part of, with its
fantastic people, is much like a family.
Like any family, we all have an Aunt Iris or Uncle Pete
who we must tolerate at social gatherings and holidays. But
there are also others in the family that we gravitate toward
and share our lives with.
A friend of mine is leaving Wiesbaden in a few weeks
and moving back to the U.S. You can literally see the grief
on her face whenever she talks about going back “home”
because for her, this is home. She has made many friends,
many memories and truly gotten the most out of her time
here in Germany. She fully experienced the closeness of
this expatriate family.
Her experience made me think about all the things
here that contribute to creating a sense of community and
family in Wiesbaden. From events such as the USO’s Sun
and Fun day to online forums for pet owners and spouses
to the annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony — they
all help build community.
The closeness of the community also means that though
Aunt Iris and Uncle Pete are not people you may choose to
spend the most time with, you are inclined to respect and
accept them. It’s the same with your neighbor, the people
in your unit, or even your boss — you can’t pick them but
they are part of your family.
There is something about being a part of an ever-changing
English-speaking community in a foreign country that
speeds up the “getting to know you” period and to seek out
the good in people. In past communities I have lived in I
haven’t always had the capacity to see the best in everyone,
but it is different here in Wiesbaden.
The perpetual transition that binds us together will ultimately pull us apart and like summers, people, including
Aunt Iris and Uncle Pete, will come and go. Maybe there
is something to be learned or gained from them before
they leave. They are all part of your ever-changing family.
For those of you that I have met, thank you for being a
part of my wonderful experience of this community. For
those of you who are new then whether it is organized by
Army Community Service, Morale, Welfare and Recreation,
the USO, the Red Cross, Better Opportunities for Single
Soldiers or any other of our great organizations — I look
forward to meeting you there and welcome to the family.
Yes, even you, Uncle Pete and Aunt Iris.
You can hear more from Paul “The Brit” on AFN Wiesbaden, weekday mornings from 6-10 a.m. on 98.7 FM.

capable of controlling the pet. Young children under
the age of 12 without adult supervision may be
considered incapable of controlling the pet.
Any dog that has the tendency to attack people
or other animals will be muzzled and kept on a
short leash when out of quarters. Owners and
victims of pets involved in biting incidents must
report them tothe military police. Dogs and cats
are not allowed to relieve themselves on balconies
or playgrounds, or within 50 feet of residential
buildings. Pet owners must clean up excrement
from their pets.

post. It’s discouraging to see other riders not have to
follow procedure and be allowed entry on the post.
Isn’t there something that can be done by the guards
allowing access to these riders who aren’t wearing
complete PPE? Perhaps make them park outside the
gate and walk in if they aren’t wearing proper gear?
Response: Thank you for your observations regarding motorcycle PPE. We share your concerns
for the safety of the riders out there; however, there
are a couple things that make your recommendations
difficult. First, regulatory restrictions regarding PPE
only apply to U.S. Forces personnel, which includes
Soldiers, Army Civilians, contractors and Family
members. Host Nation personnel are encouraged
to wear PPE, but they are only required to wear a
helmet. Second, the Pond guards are contracted for
installation security.
They are specifically prohibited from being used
for other duties not related to installation access
control. As such, they can’t be used to enforce traffic laws. What we can do is remind our MPs to look
for individuals who may be in violation and address
them appropriately.
Occasionally, we direct the MPs to watch the
entrance and exit routes for things like seatbelts and
cell phone use. We can easily add PPE to the list of
things for them to check.
Vehicle registration praise
Anonymous said: My husband and I had an appointment at Vehicle Registration. The ability to make
appointments at Vehicle Registration is the greatest
idea! The waiting room was full when we arrived,
and I was glad that we didn’t have to wait. The staff
took excellent care of us.
They were friendly, fast, and efficient. In my 16
years of being an Army spouse, this was the best
interaction with a Vehicle Registration that I have
ever experienced. They provided the best customer
service that I have received.
Really great repair
Melinda S. said: Today I had a gentleman here
to fix the dishwasher.
He was very polite and efficient. Very knowledgeable about what was going on. He also wished me a
good day. Sometimes, something as a few kind words
goes a long way.
Thank you for all that you do over there in making
sure we have good operating appliances.

At Home With a Teenager:
Program encourages parents to ‘start the conversation’
By Karl Weisel
Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation Marketing
Office
Living with a teenager can be perplexing.
And anyone who has experienced the tumult of
adolescence can tell you that living with parents can
be equally challenging.
That’s where the Wiesbaden School Liaison Office’s and AFN-Wiesbaden’s new “At Home With a
Teenager” public service announcement campaign
enters the picture.
“We want to encourage parents, teachers and students to ‘start the conversation’ — to start talking to
one another,” said Peter Witmer, U.S. Army Garrison
Wiesbaden school liaison officer.

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
“Haggis is really just honest sausage,” remarked a fellow diner of Scotland’s unofficial national dish — considered repulsive by those unfamiliar
with how other less, say, offensive sausage is constructed. Made from sheep’s
organs minced with onions, oatmeal and spices, then encased in a sheep’s
stomach, it is at once unassuming and appetizing.
As is Speyside, home to the world’s heaviest concentration of whiskey
distilleries — 43, give or take — nestled in the northeast region of the Highlands. Such a lofty title would seem to impart a boastfulness to the residents
of this area, but based on a three-day immersion, this does not appear to be
the case. Visitors will find boundless hospitality, self-deprecating personali-

ties and scenic countryside in Speyside. And yes, haggis does pair very well
with a dram of sweet scotch.
Speyside gets its name from the River Spey, which snakes its way from
Loch Spey 107 miles to the North Seat. It’s ideal for salmon spawning and
whiskey distilling, which source pure spring water from the Highlands. Combined with barley fermented in huge “mash tuns,” which is then cooked and
distilled in massive copper stills and casked in oak barrels for anywhere from
two to dozens of years – this is essentially how “the water of life” is made.
Some distilleries are open to visitors. Some are not. It seemed that those
not open to the public preferred to focus on perfecting their craft.
However, ubiquitous Glenfiddich, known as the world’s best-selling single
malt whiskey, has turned its distillery into a veritable theme park for scotch
lovers, complete with educational tours, a visitor’s center and a restaurant.

Michelle shared insights like
the Scots’ tendency to serve a small
pitcher of water to add to scotch to
“open it up” as some varieties taste
better that way. Some key verbiage
to learn include the “angel’s share,”
or the 1-2 percent of whiskey that
evaporates from the barrels every
year, and “the head, the heart and the
tail” named for each step of the distilling process. (The main difference
between Irish whiskey and Scotch
whiskey is of course geography,
and that whiskey is distilled three
times and scotch, twice). Slàinte
is Scottish Gaelic for “your good
health” — i.e., cheers.
The distilleries in Dufftown are
so heavily concentrated that you can
walk to nine of them in a few hours.
Michelle stopped outside every one
and explained the history of the distillery and how its whiskey is made,
followed by a small dram (that’s
“nip” in Scottish) to taste. Paired with
unseasonably sunny skies dappling
dense green shires, fields of shaggy
cows and crumbling castles every few
miles, it makes for an exceptionally
enjoyable afternoon.
However, the history of the Spey-
side scotch industry, as she shared,
is not quite as smooth and sweet as
a 16-year Balvenie. Men working in
the distilleries drank whiskey all day,
and stole whatever their employer
didn’t ration them, as was expected.
The idea that there is now a whiskey
store in downtown Dufftown is actually laughable to many of the older
residents.
“Whiskey was like a currency
in Dufftown,” she explained. “Only
tourists bought whiskey instead of
stealing it.”
“Whiskey was
like a currency in
Dufftown.”
But in the 1970s, a local doctor,
observing the ill effects of all-day
whiskey consumption on his patients
and their family lives, implored the
distillery managers to limit their
consumption. Nowadays it’s illegal
to drink while on the job. If discovered, the workers have to complete
an alcohol abuse prevention program.

US Airman recognized as ‘hero’ in Paris
By Tech. Sgt. Ryan Crane
Headquarters U.S. Air Forces in Europe
and Air Forces Africa
U.S. Ambassador to France, Jane D. Hartly, recognized Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone for his actions in
saving countless lives during a terrorist attack aboard
a train headed toward Paris Aug. 21, 2015.
“We often use the word hero, and in this case I
know that word has never been more appropriate,”
Hartley said.
“They are truly heroes. When most of us would
run away, Spencer, Alek and Anthony ran into the
line of fire, saying ‘Let’s go.’ Those words changed
the fate of many.”
Stone and his two friends, Aleksander Skarlatos
and Anthony Sadler, were on vacation and headed
from Amsterdam to Paris when an armed man entered
their cabin.
“It wasn’t a conscious decision,” Skarlatos, an Army
National Guard Soldier stationed in Oregon said. “We
didn’t even have time to think about it. We just acted.”
The trio had just spent the previous three days
enjoying Amsterdam on their vacation. They were
excited to make it to Paris so they got up early and
made their way to the train station. Their train wasn’t
leaving for four hours so they killed time buying
souvenirs and, according to them, eating the best ice
cream they ever had. They thought their vacation was
off to a great start.
Their train arrived and it was time to depart Amsterdam.
“We had first class tickets,” Stone explained, “but
we just found a spot we liked somewhere else on the
train. Turns out our wagon didn’t have Wi-Fi so we
decided to use our first class tickets and moved to
another wagon.”
After about an hour on the train they were settled
in somewhere in Belgium.
“I was asleep with my headphones on and my
friend, Alek, was sitting to the left of me and Anthony
was sitting to my right across the aisle. I wake up and
I see Alek moving around saying ‘oh crap! oh crap!’”
Skarlatos motioned to the gunman who entered the
cabin brandishing an AK-style assault rifle.
“I kinda turn around and see the guy,” said Stone,
“and he’s got the AK, he’s trying to charge it. I just
throw my headphones off and turn around in my seat,
get low and kinda look around.”
At this point the gunman had passed Stone and
Skarlatos. It was at that moment their lives changed.
“Alek taps me on the shoulder and says ‘go get
‘em!’ and that’s when I got up and I sprinted at him.”
“It was a long sprint. It felt like slow motion.”
“I heard him charge it [the assault rifle] a few more
times, and heard a ‘click.’ It still wasn’t working.”
Stone explained that every time he heard a “click,”
he feared that he would die.
“I heard the ‘click’ and thought, ‘whew! I’m still
here.’”
Stone finally made contact with the gunman,
throwing his body into him. The two started grappling.
“I was feeling for the gun and couldn’t find it,”
Stone said. “I felt it a couple times but he kept taking it away. So I just put him in a rear naked choke
to protect myself and my friend, Alek, came up and
took the AK. But he just kept pulling weapons left

his childhood friends, Skarlatos and Sadler, when an armed gunman entered their train carrying
an assault rifle, a handgun and a box cutter. The three friends, with the help of a British passenger,
subdued the gunman after his rifle jammed. Stone is an ambulance service technician with the
65th Medical Operations Squadron stationed at Lajes Field, Azores.
and right. He pulled a handgun and it seemed liked
he pointed it back at me and I heard it click.”
It is not apparent why the guns malfunctioned so
many times, but it gave the trio time to wrestle them
away from the gunman.
“I saw him making a slashing motion,” Stone
explained. “When I leaned over his shoulder I see he
has about a six-inch box cutter blade and I look down
and my thumb is hanging halfway off.”
At this point Stone lost his grip on the gunman.
“I let him go and by that point the shooter was in
the middle and me, Alek and Anthony are just surrounding him and we just started pounding him. I got
him in another choke and I choked him out until he
went unconscious and my friend kept hitting him in
the face with the gun.”
The gunman was down. The trio began assessing
any other threats in the area.
“My friend [pointed] out the guy who got hit in the
neck,” Stone said. “I don’t know how he got hit but he
was spurting blood everywhere. So I yelled out ‘I’m
a medic I’m a medic!’ and took the guy and held him
down. I just stuck my finger in his neck, found what
I thought was an artery and just pressed down. I held
that position until authorities came.”
At this point, Stone was pretty badly wounded.
His thumb was nearly severed and he had sustained
gashes that were dangerously close to major arteries.
The nurses later told him that he was lucky that the
cuts were not further over.
Despite his wounds he never had a second thought
about helping someone else.
“I felt like I was the only person who could help
him,” Stone said. “I didn’t really care about my injuries
at that point because I thought that guy was gonna die,
so I wanted to give him a fighting chance.”
Stone said that he believes everything happens for
a reason. Every moment in life leads to the next. He
said that there was a reason him and his friends were
on that train and that they moved to first class.
“I feel good that we were able to save those people
there in that right moment,” Stone said.
Stone, 23, has been in the Air Force for nearly three
years. His training as a medic prepared him for how
to react in a situation like this, but his family taught
him to help those who need help.
“I would say it was more so how I was raised and
the Air Force just gave me the tools I needed to be
the person I have always wanted to be I guess,” Stone
said. “There have a been a bunch of influential people
in my career so far that have just helped me gain the
knowledge that I have.”
When asked about his family, Stone cracked a smile.
“Oh yeah. My family is proud of me. My brother is
yelling ‘My brother is an international hero!’ screaming over the phone. My mother, sister, friends, family
neighbors — everyone is excited for me.”
The story has been played out in the public light
over the past few days and is certainly an intense ride.
Many said that it feels like a movie in the making.
Jokingly, Stone said that if they ever do make this into
a movie, he knows exactly who he wants to play him.
“Denzel Washington, but I don’t think that would
ever happen,” Stone joked.
Despite his fairly calm demeanor only days after
the attack, Stone was able to reflect on the event as a
day that could have gone a lot differently.
“If it wasn’t for Alek and Anthony, I’d be dead,”
Stone said. “I wouldn’t have been able to do it by
myself. He definitely woulda’ got me.”
The gunman had multiple magazines and almost
300 rounds of ammunition.
“He seemed like he was ready to fight to the end,”
Stone said. “So were we.”

First female Rangers graduate school
By Army News Service
For the first two women who earned the Ranger
tab, attending the Ranger School was all about honing
leadership skills and being better leaders for the Army.
1st Lt. Shaye L. Haver and Capt. Kristen M. Griest,
both graduates of the U.S. Military Academy at West
Point, New York, were among the 96 Soldiers who
graduated Ranger School at Fort Benning, Georgia,
Aug. 21.
“I knew how badly I wanted to go [to Ranger
School] when I was a second lieutenant, before I
became a platoon leader,” Griest said, during an Aug.
20 press conference. “I was hoping to go to this course
because it is the best training the Army can provide, and
I wanted to have that training before I had a platoon.”
Haver, an AH-64 Apache pilot, said she wanted to
go to Ranger School because she knew it would make
her a better leader for her Soldiers.
“The reasons I chose to come were the same as the
men here: to get the experience of the elite leadership
school ... and to give me the opportunity to lead my
Soldiers the best that I can,” said Haver. “I think if
females continue to come to this course, they can
be encouraged by what we have accomplished, but
hopefully they’re encouraged by the legacy that the
Ranger community has left.”
Maj. Gen. Austin S. Miller, commander of the U.S.
Army Maneuver Center of Excellence, said during a
news conference that the two women accomplished
every trial and test, both physically and mentally,
that was exacted upon the 94 men who also finished.
“Up front, what we’ve been very consistent on is
we’ve said there will be no change to the standards
... and there weren’t,” he said. “We also said ... we’re
going to be professional and objective as we work
our way through this process, which is exactly what
you would expect from a Ranger-qualified instructor
or anybody else in the Army.”
While Grist and Haver are the first two women to
graduate Ranger School, they said it was evident from
their male classmates that their performance in the
school — and as teammates — was more important
than their gender.
Haver said that during the course, it might have
been a natural assumption that the female students
would have wanted to band together for support, but
that was not the case. Instead, she said, support came
from those Soldiers closest to them — as it would
be in combat.
“We immediately integrated in our squad and
became teammates that way,” Haver said. “It was
never about the women trying to beat the men through
Ranger School, or the women banding together for
any reason in Ranger School. When you are sucking, it’s the person immediately next to you [that you
rely on.] And how we were dispersed throughout the
companies didn’t afford for a woman to be there. And
quite frankly, I didn’t think we needed that support.
We needed support from our Ranger buddies next to
us. We intentionally tried to rely on our squad mates,
because they are the closest to us, and not the females
around us.”
Fellow Ranger School graduates said they were
impressed with Griest and Haver’s abilities, and that
it didn’t make a difference that they were women.
2nd Lt. Erickson D. Krogh, an infantry officer, said
“at the end of the day, everyone was a Ranger and it
was the same throughout as long as the team pulled
through and accomplished the mission.”
“When we were given resupply and you’re given
2,000 rounds of machine-gun ammo, the last thing
you’re caring about is whether your Ranger buddy is
a man or a women — because you’re not carrying all
2,000 rounds by yourself,” added 2nd Lt. Michael V.
Janowski, also an infantry officer.
For the future, Griest said she wants to consider
further roles in combat arms that might one day open
to women. Already she said she is looking into civil
affairs, a part of the special operations community.
She said she is open to doing more.
“I am interested to see what new doors open to
women,” Griest said. “I think Special Forces is something I would definitely be interested in, if my timeline
permits for that. Currently I am trying to pursue civil
affairs, which is under the special operations umbrella,
and which is open to women. But there are also several
other options out there. I am honestly not very decided
about it. It is something I am looking at pursuing if
more opportunities open to women.”
Haver said she wants to stay in aviation, to be the
best she can be, and to go as far as she can.
“I think in the past decade ... females have served
in those combat roles. I myself am attack aviation,
which I plan to continue to serve in, in my role as
an aviator. I can’t speak to what other females will
decide to do if those doors are opened. But I can say
I plan to stay with aviation as far as that will let me
go, and hope to serve as far as leadership will let me
in my positon.”
Soldiers must complete school before promotion
By Todd C. Lopez
Army News Service
Soldiers will no longer be promoted
without first having successfully completed related professional military
education, or PME, courses, according
to recently-signed Army Directive.
Soldiers will need to complete their
schooling before they are allowed their
new stripes.
“By linking structured self-development and the NCO Education System
[NCOES] to subsequent promotion,
we better prepare NCOs [noncommissioned officers] for the complexities of
today’s operational environment while
reinforcing the benefits of a deliberate,
continuous, sequential and progressive
professional development strategy,”
wrote Army Secretary John M. McHugh
in Army Directive 2015-31, which was
released Aug. 13.
Beginning with the January 2016
promotion month, pinning on the sergeant will require that Soldiers have first
completed the “Basic Leader Course,”
which was formally known as the “War-
rior Leader Course.” For Soldiers who
want to pin on staff sergeant rank, they
must first have completed the Advanced
Leader Course.
“Soldiers on the recommended list
who are not graduates of the respective
course will not be considered fully qualified for promotion pin-on regardless of
their accumulated promotion points,”
the directive reads. “These Soldiers will
remain on the recommended list in a
promotable status, but they will not be
selected for promotion pin-on until they
become fully qualified by completing
the required course and a promotion
requirement exists.”
Soldiers expecting to pin on sergeant
first class as a result of a fiscal year 2016
selection board must first complete the
Senior Leader Course before pinning
on their new rank.
“Conditions are set so we can enforce
a standard for Soldiers to complete professional military education – that is the
NCOES platform – before promotion to
the grade in which it was designed to support,” said Gerald J. Purcell, personnel
policy integrator within the Army G-1.
Purcell said that a Soldier, who is
otherwise qualified to be promoted from
corporal or specialist to sergeant, will
be on the promotion list. But when that
Soldier’s name is next to fill an Army
promotion requirement, if that Soldier is
found to have not completed PME – for
a specialist seeking sergeant, this means
Basic Leader Course – then the Soldier
will be passed up for that promotion.
“There will be a filter in place that
takes their name off the list of fullyqualified names,” Purcell said. “They
will get skipped. Even if they have
more promotion points, they will not
be considered fully-qualified to pin the
grade of sergeant on.”
The Soldier who is skipped for promotion due to a lack of PME still stays
on the promotion list. But once that
Soldier gets the PME, he or she doesn’t
automatically get stripes. Instead, the
Soldier will have to wait for a future
requirement.
Since the 1980s, Purcell said, the
Army has allowed “conditional promotions,” where Soldiers could get
their stripes without having had the
www.wiesbaden.army.mil ......................................................................... Aug. 27, 2015
corresponding professional military
education.
“We had NCOs walking around who
weren’t school-trained, with a follow-on
requirement they complete the training
or they were going to be reduced,” he
said. “Today, the leadership believes
there is a capability to provide Soldiers
an opportunity to go to training, complete the training, and consequently,
have all of the fundamental training in
place before they are asked to perform
at the next higher grade.”
With the new PME requirement,
a Soldier’s stripes will not just be an
indicator of rank or pay – it will be
an indicator that the Soldier has been
trained as a leader, Purcell said.
“When you see a Soldier wearing a
sergeant rank, you know that Soldier
is going to have been trained formally
through an education system to prepare him or her and give them tools
to succeed at that grade,” Purcell said.
“So the Soldier is going to have all the
tools in their kit bag to fully succeed at
their grade.”

Protection against infectious diseases
By Abimbola Adeola
Program Evaluator
U�S� Army Public Health Command
The recent measles outbreak at Disneyland along
with the rate of vaccine refusal by parents has started
a national debate on immunizations (also known as
“vaccines” or “shots”). These events have raised questions, such as: Am I protected/immune to diseases?
How do I develop protection/immunity? Are there
vaccines to prevent me from getting diseases?
Vaccines against disease are said to be one of the
greatest public health interventions of the 20th century.
Although vaccination is seen as a major achievement
in health and wellness around the world, the discussion about vaccines continues.
There is a distinct difference between vaccination
and immunization although the terms are often used
interchangeably. In a nutshell, vaccines cause immunization. Vaccination is the injection of a killed or
weakened organism like a virus, bacteria or parasite
that causes a particular disease or set of diseases. It
produces immunity (protection) in the body against
the organism so it cannot cause illness or it decreases
the seriousness of an illness.
Immunization is the process by which an individual
becomes immune or protected from diseases. This
can happen when an individual comes in contact with
the organism causing a disease or when an individual
receives antibodies. Antibodies are proteins in the body
that attack disease-causing organisms naturally like
through breast milk or through human intervention
such as getting a vaccine. It is important to note that
vaccines are not available for all diseases. No one can
predict when and where the next disease outbreak will
occur, so make sure that you and your family members
are protected by being up-to-date on vaccines.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and its Advisory Committee on Immunization
Practices currently have recommendations for different vaccines for all ages to help prevent against
many, but not all infectious diseases. Vaccination
schedules and recommended vaccines are outlined
below for each age group:
• Children (birth through 6 years old)
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/downloads/
parent-ver-sch-0-6yrs.pdf
• Preteens and teens (7 through 18 years old)
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/who/teens/down
loads/parent-version-schedule-7-18yrs.pdf
• Adults
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/down
loads/adult/adult-combined-schedule.pdf
Remember to always ask your health provider any
questions that you have about your immunization
status, recommended vaccines and booster shots. It’s
also important to work with your health care provider,
as not everyone may be eligible to receive all the
recommended vaccines depending on their current
health status or medical history.
Remember the famous saying: “An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure,” so make sure
you take the necessary steps to ensure you and your
family members are protected.
If you plan to travel, check the travel alerts and
vaccine requirements.
Mindfulness-based stress reduction finds a place in the military
By Ms. Shannon Russ (G8)
Mindfulness-based meditation and the military are
generally two things that one would not associate with
one another.
But on Fort Sam Houston, Texas, Dr. Valerie Rice, chief
of the U.S.Army Research Laboratory’s Human Research
and Engineering Directorate Army Medical Department
Field Element in SanAntonio, has participated in theArmy
Study Program since 2012. She has led a study entitled
“Evaluating Next Generation Resiliency Training using
the Virtual World of Second Life” for the last four years.
This study, along with her two related 2015 studies
“Fortifying and Amplifying Resiliency Training” and
“Expeditious Resiliency: Examining a 5-day Intensive
Mindfulness Training,” which were recently funded,
have allowed Rice and her team to work with active-duty
military and veterans to examine the potential benefits of
mindfulness-based stress reduction for conditions such
as post traumatic stress disorder, also known as PTSD,
depression, chronic pain, and anxiety among others.
The practice of “mindfulness, or being in the moment,”
uses age-old meditation practices, offering practitioners
Page 16
Herald Union
an outlet for stress relief, Rice
said.
Members of Rice’s research
team are not only educated on
the topics the study proposes
to address, but each member
must participate in both the
online and in-person portions
of the study as a prerequisite to
joining the research team. This
gives each member a unique
understanding and perspective
of the study and of the issues
and methods that participants
are hoping to address.
Additionally, it builds a
Photo coutesy of Army.mil
trust and camaraderie between
participants and the research
team, which is important in a situation, where individuals
may be revealing their deepest thoughts and fears.
Members of the Army Study Program Management
Office, or ASPMO, team were invited to participate in an
online mindfulness mediation session to gain an understanding of the experience. The virtual world, Second Life,
is a 3-D computer environment, where avatars represent
the individuals, who are participating.
In the virtual world participants are able to design
the avatars to represent themselves, and even have the
option to disguise the sound of their voice to the other
participants. The virtual world includes not only the lodge,
where participants meet, practice meditation, and have
open discussions; but walking trails, horse stables, and
other relaxing activities for participants.
“The virtual world reduces the anxiety that comes
from going into a behavioral health center by offering
anonymity,” Rice said. “There is still a stigma we have
to confront that asking for help is a sign of weakness.”
A group of previous study participants came out to
the Stillwell House on Fort Sam Houston to greet the
team from ASPMO and to discuss their experience and
outcomes pertaining to the study. It was made clear during
the discussion that the group environment — whether inperson or through the virtual world — is greatly beneficial
and builds a supportive network for those participating.
Participants also experienced some positive unexpected benefits, such as weight loss, improved sleep, lower
blood pressure, reduced anger, and increased calmness.
The ages, backgrounds, and ailments of participants
varied greatly. The participants are active-duty military
and military veterans, and range in age from 22-75 years.
One young woman was experiencing severe chronic
pain resulting from an intensely stressful work environment. After participating in the mindfulness-based stress
reduction study, her pain has decreased so significantly
that her medication has been cut to a fraction of what she
required before learning the techniques and practices the
study allowed her to acquire.
Another participant shared his intimate story of being
the sole survivor of a military helicopter accident. The
immense stress caused by the accident, as well as the issues that arose during the investigation, gave him cause
to seek out assistance.
He received “a free banana that happened to have a
flyer about the study attached.”
“I really just wanted a banana, but read the flyer and
decided it was worth looking into further,” he recalled.
As a result of the positive experience he has had
with the mindfulness meditation, he is sharing his story
on larger stages in hopes of eliminating the stereotype
associated with such practices and encouraging other
military service members to participate.
The study, which has competed for and been awarded
funding each of the last four years, has shown tremendous
success in helping Soldiers and veterans.According to one
article, evidence shows that participants are still employing the mediation methods they learned six months after
participation has ceased.
If virtual training proves effective, “we can support
Soldiers and veterans anywhere there is an Internet connection and a computer,” Rice said.

be deceiving. Tony and Elizabeth Jordan’s
world is actually crumbling under the strain
of a failing marriage. While Tony basks in
his professional success and flirts with
temptation, Elizabeth resigns herself to
increasing bitterness. But their lives take

feelings of inadequacy and a desperate
need for love, money and fame. With a

until a tragic accident leaves his wife dead
and sends him into a downward spiral. His

a new man: one that is agile, fearsome
and uncompromising in the ring while
thoughtful, loving and disciplined outside
of it. Now, as he works to regain custody
of his daughter and mounts a professional
comeback, Billy must face his demons
head-on as he learns that, sometimes,
your greatest opponent can be yourself.
