The CNAC consists of members of the KMC and local German officials who regularly meet to discuss noise abatement issues in the community. The meeting was followed by a briefing and demonstration that focused on the Air Force’s new C-5M.

A major focus for the CNAC, of See C-5M, Page 5 SPORTS KITGUM, Uganda – When the command sergeant major of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command arrived in Uganda and met with the sergeants major from the Ugandan People’s Defense Force, their main focus was making Natural Fire 10 a success. The joint and combined training exercise in Uganda offers an opportunity for east African partner nations and the U.S. military to work together to increase regional capabilities in order to respond to complex humanitarian emergencies. Military personnel from Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and the U.S. will participate in this year’s exercise. The meeting between 21st TSC Command Sgt. Maj. David Wood, Ugandan Command Sgt. Maj. Ben Oyana and other Ugandan sergeants major better enabled them to work through any real-world issues that make an event like this a success as both a cooperative exchange of ideas and a military-to-military training exercise involving complex humanitarian emergencies. At this early stage in the exercise, setting up the life support area for the U.S. forces participating in the exercise is a critical step to ensure Natural Fire 10 is successful.

Gen. Mark C. Dillon 86th Airlift Wing Commander Many of you are familiar with the Winston Churchill quote, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” For our servicemembers and their families that give of themselves in service to our great nation, this couldn’t be more true. Every day we serve we give freedom and liberty to millions. Many would say by serving this great nation we’ve already given enough. But traditionally, we give even more. And one way we give more is through the Combined Federal Campaign – Overseas. This year’s CFC-O campaign theme is “Make a difference.” And what a difference you can make. This year’s CFC-O gives you the ability to donate to any of the more than 2,000 participating local, national and international charities that support a variety of significant causes. These are organizations that can truly make a difference in the lives of untold thousands. Last year was another fantastic giving year. Our KMC personnel contributed a total of $800,000 to organizations and charities here in the region and throughout the world. One of the top five priorities of our great Air Force is to take care of our Airmen and their families. If you decide to contribute and you do not have a favorite organization or charity, I encourage you to remember the military communities where we work and live. The CFC-O also offers the tremendous opportunity to contribute locally by selecting contribution code FSYP, for Family Services and Youth Programs. Last year, we received more than $30,000 toward this worthy cause, all of it going right back into our communities. As our CFC-O campaign begins, please remember that you already give by serving your country. You make a difference every day in the lives of millions. Your generosity never ceases to amaze this Airman. And traditionally, we give even more through great programs like CFC-O. Have another great week around the KMC and I am truly thankful for your sacrifice and service to our great nation! Policy letters, operating instructions and you Commentary by Avis Resch 86th Airlift Wing Equal Opportunity Office When was the last time you picked up your unit’s policy letters or operating instructions and read them? Furthermore, why do you think leadership creates policy letters and OIs? Why is it your responsibility to read them? Commanders establish a framework of what’s acceptable or unacceptable within our Air Force communities or to simplify and support existing governing Air Force Instructions or guidance. Policy letters and OIs can also contain leadership messages from senior officials on issues affecting the Air Force and its members. So, let’s begin by familiarizing you with one specific AFI – “Equal Opportunity and Treatment” – and how our local policies build on the guiding principles of the Department of Defense and the Air Force. By beginning with the DOD’s basic instruction, you’ll see how each subsequent policy, down the chain of command, supports it’s over all meaning and finally ends up in an OI. DOD instruction 1350.2 directs us to promote an environment free from personal, The Kaiserslautern American is published by AdvantiPro GmbH, Kaiserslautern, Germany, a private firm in no way connected with the Department of the Air Force or the Department of the Army, under exclusive contract with the 86th Airlift Wing.

Contents of the KA are not necessarily the official view of, or endorsed by, the U.S. government, Department of Defense or Department of the Air Force. The appearance of advertising in this publication, social or institutional barriers that prevent members from rising to the highest level of responsibility possible. It further directs that members shall be evaluated only by individual merit, fitness and capability. AFI 36-1201, “Equal Employment Opportunity Complaints,” and AFI 36-2706, “Military Equal Opportunity Program,” outline how the Air Force will conduct its affairs while remaining free from unlawful discrimination and sexual harassment and will provide equal opportunity and treatment for all members, regardless of color, national origin, race, ethnic group, religion or gender, except as prescribed by statute or policy. In addition, the AFIs state civilians are also protected from discrimination based on age and physical and/or mental disability. Let’s now take a look at one local guiding principle that supports both of these AFIs. Gen. Roger Brady, U.S. Air Forces in Europe commander, states in his EO strategy, “Our responsibility to each other is to provide a workplace and living environment free from discrimination and harassing behavior. The standard is mutual respect, plain and simple. Our diversity is one of our greatest strengths. Commanders and leaders at every level must seek ways to embrace diversity and foster an environment of inclusion – not exclusion.

AdvantiPro staff reserves the right to edit all submitted material. your organizations know that we, the leadership of USAFE, have zero tolerance for violations of equal opportunity, and will quickly address and correct violations.” Each commander, from General Brady all the way to your respective unit commanders, have similar EO policies or OIs. It spans all numbered Air Forces, wings and subordinate units in our Air Force community. So by the time EO information is in your hands there should be no doubt how the DOD, Air Force, major command and unit commanders feel about and the lengths they will go to support the EO philosophy. Now you have an understanding of the principles that govern EO and why policy letters and OIs are important and helpful in disseminating useful information. It’s the leadership’s responsibility to inform you of various issues via policy letters and OIs; however, it’s your responsibility to read them. Reading and understanding these directives is imperative to keeping both active-duty servicemembers and civilians on track. To read any of the EO policy letters in their entirety, contact your unit support staff, call the EO office at 489-8534 or e-mail 86aw.eo@ramstein.af.mil. To learn more about other policies or OIs that pertain to your unit, contact your first sergeant.

The event included a banquet and several guest speakers, who addressed an audience of Soldiers, local-national employees, civilians, families and honored guests during the celebration. Brig. Gen. Patricia E. McQuistion, the commanding general of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, was the senior leader in attendance. After her speech, General McQuistion took time to award numerous ACE employees with length of service awards. Gary Millsap, the director of ACE, spoke about the overall attitude of the personnel working at the facility. “We are all one great big family. We support each other with whatever the issue is, and we work closely with the host nation and surrounding communities,” said Mr. Millsap. “It’s familyoriented here. Miesau as a whole is one great big organization – one big family.” Michael Dubenezic, chief of the inspection division at ACE, spoke about the importance of the event. “I think that it’s a great accomplishment,” he said. “We’ve been here for 60 years, providing the war fighters with the ammunition needed for them to do their jobs.” Miesau Army Depot was founded as Rhine Ammunition Depot May 23, 1949, and was desThe 60th Anniversary of Miesau Army Depot Sept. 25 included demonstrations, music, a banquet and several guest speakers, ignated as a North Atlantic Treaty Organization who addressed an audience of Soldiers, local-national employees, civilians, families and honored guests during the celebration. Army chief of staff discusses issues during LRMC visit During a visit with wounded warriors at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Army Chief of Staff Gen. George W. Casey, Jr., discussed the challenges his Soldiers and their families have successfully faced since 9/11 and explained initiatives underway to help the force – one of them scheduled to begin Oct. 1. Comprehensive Soldier Fitness program General Casey said the first element of the Comprehensive Soldier Fitness program, designed to teach Soldiers to become more resilient in five aspects of total fitness – physical, emotional, social, spiritual and family strength – begins this week with an online assessment every Soldier can take in the privacy of their own room. But CSF doesn’t end there. General Casey said every phase of leadership development training, from basic training to the Army War College, will include progressive instructional courses of CSF to help leaders understand how to build resiliency in themselves and their Soldiers. The most critical element of CSF is set to begin about this time next year, when General Casey said a master resiliency trainer will be placed in every battalion in the Army. MRTs are part of a collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania. About 100 Soldiers have received MRT training at the university, and General Casey said several trainers he has spoken with about the program are excited about taking what they have learned from classroom to battalion. “These are Soldiers helping Soldiers,” General Casey said. “Every one of them has told me they see the value of the training both in their personal and professional lives.” The Army Family Covenant Another quality of life initiative the general covered is the Army Family Covenant See LRMC, Page 7 Page 4 Kaiserslautern American October 9, 2009 Compiled by the 569th USFPS Sept. 29 7:56 a.m.: An Air Force NCO reported a navigation system and DVD player were stolen from his vehicle in Landstuhl. 9:09 a.m.: An Air Force NCO reported a gym bag containing ABU pants, boots, PT gear and toiletries was stolen from her vehicle in Landstuhl.

Griffin U.S. Air Forces in Europe – Headquarters Public Affairs U.S. Air Forces in Europe continues to plan and prepare to guard the health of Airmen, civilians and family members against numerous health issues, including the H1N1 virus. The USAFE Command Surgeon General’s office is coordinating with U.S. European Command’s medical depot, U.S. Army Medical Materiel Center – Europe on the appropriate distribution plan for the H1N1 vaccine when it arrives. The initial focus for vaccination efforts will be on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention high-risk priority groups. “Unlike seasonal flu vaccine supplies, which usually arrive early in the season via large shipments sufficient for the whole population, the H1N1 vaccine will initially have limited availability,” said Lt. Col. Megan McCormick, USAFE Command Public Health officer. “It’s anticipated to begin arriving at USAFE medical facilities sometime in November,” Colonel McCormick said. “Receipt dates for bases will vary and notifications of availability will be communicated by command information channels, though high-risk patients may also be contacted individually.” The CDC recommends inclusion of pregnant women in the first series of vaccine distributions. Other priority categories include care providers for children younger than 6 months, health-care providers and first responders. Deploying troops will also be among the first priority groups, due to their elevated risk under austere living conditions and mission-essential status. “The health and safety of our USAFE community is a priority,” Colonel McCormick said. “Everyone needs to know vaccination plans are in place and being coordinated at every level, and it is expected that supplies will be sufficient so that everyone who wants the vaccine will be able to receive it after those in high-risk groups.” Kaiserslautern American Page 5 C-5M, from Page 1 course, is noise. After witnessing firsthand the enhanced takeoff distance and decreased engine noise of the C-5M, local officials reacted positively to the noticeable difference of the new model to that of its predecessors. Ramstein’s mayor, Klaus Layes, talked about a “definite improvement you can hear.” Susanne Wimmer-Leonhardt, Kaiserslautern mayor, described the difference to be “significantly quieter, significantly higher.” “The differences are tremendous and striking in terms of noise level as well as concerning the climbing speed,” said Mayor Layes. “The C-5M is much quieter and will climb much faster. Refurbishment of the C-5 fleet would constitute a milestone on the road to alleviation of air traffic noise.” The Air Force plans to upgrade 52 of its 111 C-5s to the new M model, with three test aircraft currently in the inventory, said Col. John Gomez, Air Mobility Command Requirements Division chief. The three M models are currently based at Dover Air Force Base, Del., and will be transiting through Ramstein during the Operational Test and Evaluation period that runs until mid-January. “Today’s C-5M demonstration was important and very impressive,” said Brig. Gen. Mark Dillon, 86th AW commander, who also happens to have nearly 1,000 flying hours in the C-5. “The (demonstration) allowed dozens of our host nation community leaders from Kaiserslautern and Spangdahlem a glimpse at one of our Air Force modernization efforts. Rather than just reading about it, our host nation community leaders saw for themselves how a quieter and faster-climbing C-5M will help us meet our noise abatement goals,” General Dillon added. “A special thanks to our teammates from AMC The differences are tremendous and striking in terms of noise level as well as concerning the climbing speed. The C-5M is much quieter and will climb much faster.” — Klaus Layes Ramstein mayor and Lockheed for the tremendous C-5M acoustic demonstration. The demo illustrates your commitment to both our mission here at Ramstein as well as our host-nation partners.” Ramstein is a hub for mobility and airlift operations throughout Europe and the area of responsibility. Though the base owns a variety of theater airlift, distinguished-visitor transport, and aeromedical evacuation aircraft – C-130s, C-40Bs, C-20Hs, C-21s and C-37s – the base regularly hosts a plethora of other military and commercial aircraft and diligently works with local leaders to ensure the mission success of the Air Force operations is not of greater impact to the community. The C-5 Galaxy, one of the world’s largest aircraft, has been the backbone of America’s strategic airlift fleet since the late 1960s. However, years of wear and tear impacted the aircraft’s reliability rates. Yet testing revealed the C-5 fleet had 80 percent of its structural service life remaining. Rather than doing away with the aircraft, Lockheed Martin officials proposed a plan in September 1998 to update the C-5 Galaxy fleet with new avionics and engines. These improvements are predicted to raise the aircraft’s reliability levels. Flu vaccine available now The Ramstein Immunizations Clinic now has flu vaccines available for active-duty members, Department of Defense civilians, retirees and dependents in the form of the Flu Mist vaccine. The flu shot will be available for those patients who can’t get the Flu Mist vaccine due to age or current health conditions. Clinic hours of operation are from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday; 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday; and 8 a.m. to noon Thursday. Mass flu drives are from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Nov. 16, 17 and 23 at the Hercules Theater on Ramstein. For more information, call 479-2530 or 06371-46-2530. Photo by Sgt.

Republic developed an automatic flight control modification that was ready for testing in March 1953, but before engaging the system a number of manual hookups were made to the system to resolve continuing electrical problems. On April 24, 1953, the left-hand F-84 hooked up to the B-29 and activated the automatic system.

Jim Fisher 17th Air Force Public Affairs A delegation of Botswanan forces engaged in a familiarization event at 17th Air Force from Sept. 21 to 24. The Botswanans, like several groups who have made trips to Ramstein Air Base from the African continent recently, were looking to glean expertise and build their military capacity. The Botswana Defense Force contingent focused on the area of enlisted development, said Master Sgt. Deborah Madden, of the 17th Air Force Personnel Directorate, who orchestrated their itinerary here. She and other members of the personnel directorate have been working with the BDF since July 2008, when Air Forces Africa personnelists first traveled to Botswana for a theater security cooperation event. “The purpose of their visit was continuing the engagement on enlisted professional development,” Sergeant Madden said. “We can talk about the activities that build the professionalism of our enlisted corps, but we wanted them to be able to see this first hand. During their visit, they saw enlisted professional development at every level.” Members of the delegation, from the BDF’s Air Arm, visited the Ramstein Airman Leadership School and Kisling NCO Academy at Vogelweh and received orientations on the Air Force’s Senior NCO Academy and Chief’s Leadership Course. They also were treated to a host of development-related briefings by the personnel directorate. Senior Master Sgt. J. Lee Phillips, director of education at the Kisling NCO Academy, said he found the visit enlightening and inspirational. “I hope that they were able to get everything they needed to persuade their leaders on the importance of getting their NCOs the type of training that our predecessors fought so hard for us to obtain today,” Sergeant Phillips said. In addition to recognizing the historical significance of Botswana’s strides toward development of it’s enlisted servicemmbers, Sergeant Phillips said he was awed by the delegation and their status as pioneers in the BDF.

An Army out of balance General Casey also discussed the effects repeat- One member of the delegation, 2nd Lt. Lesedi Kelesitse, is not only a pioneer for her role in enlisted development, but is among the first year group of women permitted to join the BDF in 2008. “Their experience opened my eyes to the importance of our role as we work with African defense forces,” Sergeant Phillips said. “I realized that I was engaging with leaders that would be recognized in history much like our leaders of the past. Lieutenant Kelesitse is very similar to Esther Blake – she was one of the first 30 female airmen in the Botswana Defense Air Arm – incredible! “We showed them the Airmen’s Creed video and as I watched it again, I saw it through their Photo by Master Sgt. Jim Fisher Botswana Forces Military Command Sergeant Major Mogakolodi Sebego (left) and 2nd. Lt. Lesedi Kelesitse view the enlisted heritage display at the Ramstein Airman Leadership School Sept. 22. The Botswana delegation was visiting 17th Air Force at Ramstein on a familiarization engagement from Sept. 21 to 24, which included a series of orientations, tours and panel discussions focused on development of the enlisted force. The visit also included stops at the USAFE NCO Academy, and the 86th Contingency Response Group, among others. ed deployments and the high operations tempo of the past several years have had on Soldiers, their families and the Army as a whole. “We are so weighed down by our current commitment that we can’t do the things we know we need to do to prepare ourselves to do other things, and to sustain the all-volunteer force for the long haul,” General Casey said. However, the general said a plan put into place to put the Army back in balance by the end of 2011 is showing good progress. The four benchmarks for that plan consist of: • Sustaining Soldiers and their families • Continuing to prepare the force for success in conflict • Resetting between deployments • Transformation to a more modern Army eyes. It was one of the most powerful experiences of my life. That creed represents every Airman from the past and future. It is the bond that holds us all together.” Members of the delegation said they were just as impressed with the depth and synchronicity of enlisted development in the Air Force. Maj. Jenamiso Mountain, director of personnel and training for the BDF’s Air Arm, said the cohesive orchestration of training among the different tiers of PME is something he wants to develop in the BDF. “I have learned that there is a smooth transition in development from the Airmen to the chiefs,” Major Mountain said. “We don’t have this back home. So when I get back home, I will make a request through the U.S. Embassy, so that they might consider sending instructors TDY, so we can develop our own instructors. Then we can begin to have training in line with what you have here.” Major Mountain said the uniformity in the curricula across Air Force institutions is key to the success of PME. “Where there are two classes running at Airmen Leadership School, they will run on the same topic in the same minute and hour, with the same standards and expectations. By the end of the day, it encourages Airmen to speak the same language, and it will standardize performance as well,” the major said. Warrant Officer II Bernard Bimbo, also connected to training and development for the Air Arm, said the techniques and strategies could be implemented across the BDF. “I would like to see the development of the entire enlisted corps of the BDF, not just in the Air Arm,” Mr. Bimbo said, also taking time to thank the hosts and organizers of the visit. “I would like to thank the Office of Defense Cooperation and to thank 17th Air Force for everything they have done to educate us, to work with us and be there throughout the week.” As Mr. Bimbo and his delegation begin planning to implement ideas garnered from their visit to Ramstein and Vogelweh, members of Air Forces Africa will also look ahead for more cooperative events with their Botswanan partners. Wounded Warriors During his visit at LRMC, General Casey spent time at the bedside of Soldiers injured in battle and recovering from illnesses that occurred downrange. It is an encounter the general clearly holds special. “When I look at those remarkable Soldiers, it reminds me of the cost of war and it’s something none of us can ever forget,” General Casey said. “I’m always uplifted by their zeal to return to their unit – that bond and camaraderie that comes through. And to the doctors, nurses and care providers, we can’t thank them enough for what they do.” (Courtesy of the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center Public Affairs Office) Page 8 Kaiserslautern American October 9, 2009 Reserve, retired rated officers given active-duty opportunity by Daniel Elkins Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFNS) – The secretary of the Air Force has initiated two voluntary recall-to-active-duty programs and expanded the number of eligible Air Force specialties to help minimize the service’s critical shortage of rated officers. “The rapid expansion of unmanned aircraft systems as well as other emerging missions and rated requirements that directly support contingency operations created a demand for experienced, rated officers that exceeds current Air Force levels,” said Col. William Foote, the Air Force Personnel Center director of personnel services. The Voluntary Retired Rated Officer Recall Program allows the secretary of the Air Force to order retired Air Force rated officers to activeduty. The Voluntary Limited Period Recall Program and Voluntary Permanent Rated Officer Recall Program allow Reserve officers the opportunity to apply for recall to extended active-duty. Rated officers include pilots, combat systems officers and air battle managers. Adriana Bazan, the chief of voluntary offiUGANDA, from Page1 arrangement of U.S. living areas and the logistical issues that might require Ugandan assistance. He also took time to ask if there was any assistance the Ugandan forces needed form their U.S. partners. Command Sergeant Major Wood praised the Ugandan military for its discipline and outlined cer recall operations, said these programs are designed to put experienced and motivated officers back into the Air Force ranks. “There has been a tremendous response to these programs, with more than 500 rated officers selected for recall to active-duty,” Ms. Bazan said. “Applications remain steady, averaging 70 per month.” The success of these programs was lauded by Maj. Gen. Marke Gibson during a recent visit to AFPC. General Gibson, the Air Force director of operations, praised the results of the programs and underscored the operational impact of these critical positions in today’s fight. “These officers possess the knowledge and training to effectively contribute to our success in the joint fight,” General Gibson said. “Their role is crucial as the Air Force boosts its unmanned (aircraft) systems capabilities and leverages our latest technologies across all warfighting domains.” Lt. Col. Deborah Landry, AFPC operations staff assignments branch chief, said officers returning thus far have been assigned to the full spectrum of the Air Force’s rated billets and come from backgrounds as diverse as those retiring later this year to F-111 Aardvark pilots who last flew in Desert Storm. “Each officer brings unique expertise and wisdom to the Air Force mission,” Colonel Landry said. In the fall 2009 assignment cycle, 149 recalled officers were matched to rated staffs, filling critical billets that would have otherwise remained vacant due to the shortage of active-duty officers available to move out of operational flying assignments. In addition, many of those recalled officers who are current and qualified in an Air Force aircraft or are eligible for local training are being utilized in flying assignments. “Unfortunately, there is not enough training available to return every rated officer to an active flying assignment,” she said. “But, every qualified applicant is being offered an assignment and will be a valuable asset to the rated force.” More than 225 officers have already received orders and are returning to active-duty. Information about the rated recall programs, including detailed eligibility criteria and application requirements, can be found on the AFPC’s “ASK” Web site.

You have the power to conserve energy. You can make a difference by saving energy. It took more than 200 million years to form all of the oil beneath the surface of the earth. It has taken 200 years to consume half that endowment. If current rates of consumption continue, the world’s remaining resources of conventional oil will be used up in 40 years. This would not be the end of fossil fuels. The world’s coal resources are much larger and there are vast amounts of unconventional fossil fuels, such as shale oil, tar sands and natural gas, trapped in ice beneath the ocean. At present, these energy resources would produce much harm to the environment and would be very expensive to use. In the future, ways may be found to use some or all of these resources economically and without undue damage to the environment. Advanced technologies may be developed to produce clean, economical energy from other sources. In the meantime, it makes sense to use fossil resources such as oil more efficiently to reduce environmental impacts and buy time to develop new and better energy sources. Two-thirds of the oil we consume powers transportation vehicles and half goes to passenger cars and light trucks. Being a fuel-economy conscious consumer doesn’t mean buying a car you don’t want. Shop around to find a vehicle that gives you all the features you want with the best fuel economy available. This will not only help conserve fuel today, but will signal carmakers to use advanced technology to make cars even more energy efficient in the future. WASHINGTON (AFNS) – Air Force officials have launched a new Web site to showcase the Year of the Air Force Family effort. Airmen and their families can visit www.af.mil/yoaff/index.asp to learn about Air Force-wide initiatives and monthly themes and programs, as well as contact their installation’s Airman Family & Readiness Centers to find out about local events. Earlier this year Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz and Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley designated July 2009 to July 2010 as the “Year of the Air Force Family,” a year-long focus on Air Force programs highlighting the importance of and commitment to the entire Air Force family: all Airmen, married and single; spouses; children; Air Force civilians; extended families; and retirees. “We will devote this year to identifying what we are doing right and what we need to do better to support the entire Air Force family and to rekindle the sense of community that has been our tradition for so many generations,” General Schwartz said. Findings from the April “Caring for People” forum provided direction for the year-long focus that highlights improvements to existing programs. It also introduces new initiatives built on four pillars that meet the unique needs of Air Force fami- Page 9 lies, including health and wellness; Airman and family support; education, development and employment; and Airman and family housing. Together with Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force James Roy, the service’s senior leaders are addressing key areas of concern to Airmen. Some of the programs receiving special emphasis include deployment support, fitness, family safety awareness, exceptional family member programs and single Airmen initiatives. “You can rest assured that taking care of families is a solemn promise we make to each Airman and family and one that Chief Roy, General Schwartz and I each take very seriously,” Secretary Donley said. “And we make this commitment not only because it’s the right thing to do for our Airmen, but because it is the smart thing to do for our Air Force.” Airmen and their families can expect programs and events tailored to the needs of their individual communities. They may include reintroducing family support programs already available to them today, as well as announcing new initiatives that will serve as model Airman and family support programs long into the future. “The strength of the nation’s Air Force is not the platforms we operate or the technologies we employ, as good as they are,” General Schwartz said. “It is our Airmen and their families. The Air Force is a great place to work, live and play. Our intent is to make it even better.” (Courtesy of the 86th Civil Engineer Squadron) During Energy Awareness Month, an excursion to an energy-related site is offered from 5 to 8 p.m. Oct. 22: • Block-Heating Power Plant, Kaiserslautern An educational lunch-time briefing is from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Oct. 28 in Bldg. 521: • Use the sun – free energy For details and to register, call Anja Kempf-Urschel at 480-3723 or e-mail anja.kempf-urschel.de@ ramstein.af.mil.

Sgt. Michael Voss 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs Cleaning, flossing and repairing teeth is nothing unusual for the dentists and technicians at the 86th Medical Group. Each year they see thousands of active-duty members, civilian employees and family members. But family members, especially young children, are really where the dentists get the bang for their proverbial buck. Many recent studies have shown frightening news about significant increases in young children suffering from tooth decay, causing some parents to take notice and ensure their children are receiving proper dental care. With only one full-time pediatric dentist, Lt. Col. (Dr.) John Kersey, at the 86th Dental Clinic, other general dentists such as Maj. (Dr.) Jonathan Evans chip in regularly seeing the many dependent children in the KMC. According to WebMD, most babies get their first tooth around six months and their last primary molars before they turn three. What is very important to keep in mind is your child will keep these “baby” teeth until age 10 or 12, making cleaning and maintaining those 20 teeth very important not only to social imaging, but to overall physical well-being. But as Dr. Evans points out, some of the habits formed at an early age, such as proper or improper brushing, will stick with individuals even into adulthood. “During a child’s visit, we work with not only the patient but the parents as well,” Dr. Evans said. And Dr. Evans holds true to his word. During my son Hayden’s recent first dental exam, he not only cleaned his teeth, but he also took time to show us how to help the 17 month old. “With kids, you are doing the same exam and cleaning,” Dr. Kersey said. “We simply modify the exam a little to facilitate the child’s attention span. We always leave a little time to educate the parents on the importance of being involved in their child’s dental health.” During Hayden’s visit, after cleaning his 10 baby teeth, Dr. Evans explained tricks of the trade to get him used to flossing with help at an early age, and explaining that fluoride supplements may be necessary, particularly if you live off-base. “We always take time to ask the parents if they live off-base, and explain that local water doesn’t contain enough fluoride in it for healthy tooth formation,” Dr. Evans said. “Again, prevention and education is the key,” Dr. Kersey said. In terms of when parents should start administering dental care, many Web sites suggest cleaning the gums of infants, even before the first tooth appears. Dr. Evans suggests to start Courtesy graphic dental care as early as possible. A simple technique of dampening a small piece of textured gauze and wiping down gums after feeding could help children avoid dental health problems in the future enabling a healthy smile, a stronger personal image and perhaps even saving money down the road. Other helpful tips for parents include: • Using a wet toothbrush is sufficient for cleaning toddler teeth. • Children need fluoride in their water supply to strengthen tooth enamel. • Don’t let your child fall asleep with a bottle or sippy cup. If your child wants to go to bed with a drink, fill a sippy cup with water. • Plan your child’s first dental trip at age 1. • Start to floss once teeth are touching. • Remember anything that can stain a white cotton T-shirt can stain teeth.

Brett Bishop, Physical Therapy Element chief, 86th Medical Operations Squadron, and his staff will provide foot and gait screenings to help individuals select the right running shoe for their foot type. “The correct footwear can help prevent or eliminate injuries as you train and perform fitness activities,” Major Bishop said. “In addition to running, we want to promote the full spectrum of fitness to allow individuals to meet the physical demands of deployments, daily work duties, as well as recreational activities while injury-proofing our bodies,” said Lt. Col. Chu Soh, doctor of physical therapy, 86th Medical Group. The Functional Fitness Challenge is designed to challenge physical readiness. Units are encouraged to send teams of four to compete to see who has the most fit to fight battleready Airmen. One of the other important roles physical therapists play in the area of physical activity is to promote the capacity for movement in all patients. Physical therapists use their knowledge, skills, and experience to help people take control of the movement that is critical to their lives. Physical therapists are highly educated, licensed health-care professionals who can help patients reduce pain and improve or restore mobility, in many cases without expensive surgery or the side effects of prescription medications.

There is dense fog, wet leaves and the first black ice. Especially in fog, when there is bad visibility, a lot of accidents and even mass collisions happen due to driving too fast and not keeping enough distance. Officials of the German automobile club ADAC recommend to adjust driving habits and the vehicles’ lights to the circumstances to avoid accidents. Many drivers judge visibility incorrectly and cause accidents through excessive speed. If it’s foggy, motorists should plan on more time if they need to get somewhere, because time pressure is the biggest enemy when visibility is bad. In fall, drivers must expect sudden fog at any time, especially near rivers, lakes, wooded areas and moorland. The following tips can help motorists drive through fog safely: • Turn on the headlights at the first indication of fog. The vehicle will be more visible. • Expect poor visibility when vehicles with lights on approach from the opposite direction. • Turn on the windshield wipers from time to time. If the fog is dense, keep them on constantly. Fog settles on the windshield and limits visibility. • Keep the windows (inside and outside), headlights and tail lights clean. Drive as far to the right as possible, but watch out for bicyclists. Hazard lights should be on for a sudden stop. • In thick fog, keep the radio’s volume low to avoid distraction. • Adjust speed to range of sight. If visibility is only 50 meters ahead, don’t drive faster than 50 kilometers per hour. If it’s 100 meters, don’t drive faster than 80 kph, and if visibility is 150 meters, Courtesy photo Drivers should be extra careful this fall. Foggy conditions lower visibility significantly and increase the likelihood of accidents. Driving the appropriate speed for the road conditions and allowing sufficient following distance will ensure drivers remain accident-free. don’t drive faster than 100 kph. • Always count on vehicles to appear suddenly and the need to brake immediately. • Don’t rely on the back light of the car in front. Keep enough distance, especially when the other car is moving slowly. • Focus on the safety poles, not the center stripes. The poles on the right side always have rectangular reflectors, and those on the left have two round reflectors. The density of fog can be estimated by the distance of those safety poles. On regular roads, the distance between two poles is 25 meters and on the autobahn it’s 50 meters. • Don’t trust normal ability to estimate dis- tance, since fog causes blurriness and simulates greater distances. • Obey all warning signals. ADAC officials say motorists tend to overlook warning boards and blinking lights which warn of notorious “fog holes.” • Driving in fog requires full concentration. Motorists should take more breaks during long rides. • When stopping at a parking lot near the autobahn, leave lights on so approaching drivers can see the vehicle. (Courtesy of German automobile club ADAC) Motorists should be on the lookout for wild game Fall is harvest time, which means right now a lot of agricultural vehicles are on the roads. Driving out from fields, these vehicles bring clay and mud onto roads. According to officials of the German automobile club ADAC, there is an increased risk of accidents, especially for motorcycle drivers. The clay and mud in combination with rain can make roads slippery, almost like black ice. Also, harvest products falling off the vehicles can cause some danger. Motorists should reduce speed and drive extremely carefully along fields and next to agricultural areas. A greater following distance from the car ahead and soft braking also increases safety. Often, motorists don’t see what danger can be caused by agricultural vehicles, such as harvester combines, since they are wider and need more than half the street. When passing, drivers must be very cautious. Motorists have to slow down until the agricultural vehicle leaves the main road. Fall is also the time with an increase in deer crossing in the early morning and at night, say ADAC officials. Every year, about 220,000 deer, 12,000 wild boars and more than 200,000 rabbits are run over and killed. More than 3,300 motorists and passengers are hurt and about 30 people die in these accidents. These wild animals, including foxes, don’t find enough protection on the harvested fields anymore and flee into the forests to find cover. They often have to cross streets and put themselves as well as motorists in danger. In fall, game can be found along avenues with trees, where they eat chestnuts, acorn and fruit that have fallen from trees in preparation for hibernation. In the coming weeks, motorists must drive extremely carefully along fields and forests, especially at dusk and dawn. The rule is wherever there is a forest, there is a deer. And wherever there is one animal, there are more to follow. It’s important to reduce the speed and to be ready to brake at all times. On streets with deer crossing traffic signs, drivers should drive cautiously and pay close attention to their surroundings. If a collision with game happens, the warning lights must be turned on and the vehicle must be secured. Injured persons must be taken care of and the police must be called. The animal should not be touched. Foxes can be infected with rabies and deer, though they may appear unconscious, can kick out. It’s considered poaching if someone takes a deer and puts it in their trunk. This results in the confiscation of the vehicle and a fine, and possibly jail time. Car owners need a written confirmation by the police or the game lessee so the comprehensive insurance will pay for the damage. The game lessee is based on animal protection laws obliged to find an animal that has been hit and hurt, and put it out of its misery.

But Cody knows that the fall season also designates the beginning of the highly successful KMC Ambassadors baseball and softball program. For the first time, Cody will be training with the juniors (13 to 14 years old). “I have attended the program for the last five years because my dad is a coach but this year will be my first year on the big field, so I’m really looking forward to that” Cody said. Courtesy photos Europe All-star Cody Prince delivers a pitch during a Little League World Series game against international champion Chinese-Taipei Aug. 21 in South Williamsport, Penn. The KMC All-star team was one of 16 teams that qualified for the Little League World Series. Jacob Van Parys added, “Even though we just returned from the Little League World Series, I can’t wait to get started.” “Ambassadors is a program that was designed to develop fundamental skills, to teach teamwork and to broaden the players understanding of the game,” said Master Sgt. Ed Prince, U.S. Air Forces in Europe Public Affairs. Sergeant Prince is the president of the Ambassadors and was also the manager for Team Europe at the Little League World Series. This will be the sixth year he has been involved in the program. “The kids that come to the practices have a great attitude and desire to improve which makes coaching fun. The extra time and instruction makes a huge difference when All-stars comes around,” Sergeant Prince said. Ambassadors isn’t just for baseball – it also provides instruction in girls softball. “We provide young ladies the opportunity to improve their softball skills during the off-season. We focus on the techniques and mechanics that will help players throw, hit and catch in a style that will benefit them as they progress in the sport,” said Capt. Randy Pletzer, head coach of the softball program. “We also work on physical conditioning and stretching to ensure safety to help protect the girls from injury. The techniques we use have been taught for the last four years and it’s proven beneficial as we’ve sent five KMC All-star softball teams to the world series in three different divisions. Many of the girls that compete on the All-star teams got their start in Ambassadors.” “I can’t wait to get started. I played on the girls Majors All-star team that lost regionals down in Italy,” Bailey Prince said. “I wish I had been more involved in the Ambassadors practices last year. It may have helped us against Holland, Italy and Poland.” KMC Ambassadors is open to all Department of Defense dependents in Germany between the All-star Crystal Pletzer scoops up a ball during one of the games at the 2009 Senior League World Series, held in Sussex County, Del. ages of 8 and 18. The program offers training and instruction in both softball and baseball. Signups for baseball will be held at noon Sunday at the Ramstein southside baseball field. Specific practice times will be announced during sign-ups. Softball registration has already started, but you can still sign up. Veteran Matt Zembraski knows it all pays off the next year. “We practice throughout the fall, winter and spring and even play in a couple of tournaments at different locations throughout Germany and Europe,” he said. “I know the extra reps will help us continue to improve and hopefully take us to the Junior League World Series next year.” For information regarding the KMC Ambassadors program, call Sergeant Prince at 0173-465-0668 or e-mail tecab242628@yahoo. com.

KMC Airmen earn gold at softball championships RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas – The Air Force women’s softball team, including two KMC Airmen, earned gold medals at the Armed Forces Slow-pitch Softball Championships Sept. 25 at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Fla. Staff Sgt. Lindsay Ciullo, from the 86th Communications Squadron at Ramstein, and Senior Airman Jenn Taylor, from the 21st Operational Weather Squadron at Sembach, were part of the Air Force women’s team who went 6-3 during the tournament and won their third armed forces title in three years. Both women are also members of the Ramstein Lady Rams varsity softball team, which recently finished their 2009 season with a 44-0 record. The Air Force team finished the tournament with the same records as their Army and Navy counterparts, but Air Force took first place after officials calculated head-to-head wins and run differentials. Sergeant Ciullo was among the team’s top hitters, with a .448 average and two RBIs. Coach Cheryl Trapnell said the real key to her team’s wins in the tournament was their outstanding play on defense. “We struggled offensively throughout the (tournament) except for the two games where we hit double digits,” she said. “We had young players in key positions and they stepped up and did a great job too.” The Air Force Sports Program is designed to allow active-duty, National Guard and reserve Air Force personnel an opportunity to participate at Air Force, armed forces, national and international sports events. “We also are ambassadors in the community – we are advocates for the military and the sports program,” Coach Trapnell said. “This team is out in the community representing the Air Force, which is a great recruiting tool and morale builder.” Coach Trapnell said the benefits of having Air Force sports programs can be seen in the community as well as at military bases where they compete against other Department of Defense teams. “Young men and women see this program in action and hear about military jobs, opportunities – and you would not believe the interest that is generated,” Coach Trapnell said. “The interaction with the other services also builds camaraderie between the branches. This is the total force concept in action.” For more information about the U.S. Air Force sports program, visit www.usafsports.com.

The Rogues started off the morning with victory against the 2nd Medical Regiment 12-10 and followed that with another great win against Ragazzi Savi Rugby Club 17-12. These two wins were then followed by the toughest match of the day against the Crocsliders. Despite a good defensive start from the Rogues, the Crocsliders took charge and didn’t look back as they took the game 45-0. However, this two wins to one loss record was good enough to get the Rogues into the cup standings for the playoffs. The Rogues first cup playoff match was against a veteran team from Nuremberg, Germany. What they lacked in experience, the Rogues made up by great teamwork and effort, and Ramstein was victorious 31-10, which put them into the quarter-finals against the British Army Rifles team, primarily all from Fiji. The enthusiasm with the crowd carried over well for the team, but the Fijian-side demonstrated quality skills as they handed Ramstein their second loss 50-0.
