21st Theater Sustainment Command
arrived in Uganda and met with the
sergeants major from the Ugandan

focus was making Natural Fire 10

The joint and combined training exercise in Uganda offers an
opportunity for east African partner

complex humanitarian emergencies.
Military personnel from Burundi,

Make a difference by donating to CFC-O
by Brig. 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,

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

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.

with a celebration Sept. 25.
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.”

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.”

USAFE plans for
H1N1 vaccine
distribution
by 1st Lt J.D. 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.”

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

concerning the climbing speed.

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.

Botswanan forces explore enlisted development
by Master Sgt. 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.

• Standardizing and funding existing family

• Improving Soldier and family housing
• Ensuring excellence in schools, youth services and child care
• Expanding education and employment opportunities for family members
“We’re making progress along all five lines,
and we’re committed to take them to the next
level,” General Casey said.

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.”

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.

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. Click on “Voluntary Officer

some specific training he was hoping could be
arranged for the participating U.S. forces.
“When I was out at your range yesterday, I
noticed the way your soldiers build shelters,”
Command Sergeant Major Wood said. “I would
like you to show our Soldiers how to do that –
how to chop the bamboo and set up shelters.”
The meeting ended with the presentation of the
21st TSC coin to Sergeant Major Oyana, but perhaps the most important thing taken away from
the meeting was what was said shortly after the
initial introductions and handshakes.
“We have to come together to make this happen,” Command Sergeant Major Wood said.
“To work as a team,” the Ugandan sergeants
major replied in unison.

Conserve resources for
the future of planet
October is Energy Awareness
Month. 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

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-

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.”

86th DS emphasizes early preventative care
by Tech. 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

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.

Ramstein helps
Take Off Pounds
Sensibly
by Rita Marquez-Lohr
Ramstein TOPS leader
Are you frustrated, discouraged or depressed about your
weight or size?
Come join others at Ramstein in a group called Take off
Pounds Sensibly, or TOPS. TOPS members have struggled with
the same issues and are now supporting each other in dealing
with their weight.
The support group is just that – a place where others can come
where there are no items to buy, no food to purchase, just unconditional support through discussions, informational articles, education, sharing and guest speakers.
TOPS Club, Inc. is a nonprofit, noncommercial weight-loss
support organization based in Milwaukee, Wis., with chapters located worldwide. Its two-fold objective is to encourage
healthy lifestyles through weight-management support groups
and to sponsor obesity research.
The Ramstein chapter meets from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. every
Tuesday. There are many upcoming events scheduled to take
place over the next few months.
There will be a psychologist who will visit and give a presentation on lifestyle changes and weight loss. A tour of the
commissary is scheduled with a briefing on reading nutrition
labels. Another guest speaker will provide the group with tips
on using herbs and spices to liven up meals. Additionally, there
is a meditation lesson scheduled to teach how to relax. Meetings
also include various presentations by members.
TOPS offers fitness activities such as a walk and instructions
on the use of resistance bands and isometric exercises. Everyone
is encouraged to find a plan that works best for them on how to
lose weight.
There is no specific plan or packaged food items to buy. There
are lots of ideas and success stories exchanged and plenty of
moral support.
Men and woman alike are invited to join. Ideas and suggestions on activities the group can participate in are welcomed and
encouraged.
This is our support group and we do our very best to keep
everyone’s interests in mind as well the limitations some people
have. If you are not able to participate in a physical activity we
plan, you are not obligated to do it. You are welcome to do what
you can. We are there to share and support.
Features of TOPS
• A system of competition and recognition to provide
additional support
• TOPS’ healthy lifestyle guide “The Choice is Mine”
contains details about the exchange system for meal planning as
well as motivational tips and practical advice
• TOPS News – membership magazine included in TOPS’
annual membership fee

Autumn means foggy driving conditions
Autumn is here and this means motorists are
required to be extremely careful in traffic now.
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,

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.

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.

2010 ambassadors baseball/softball program gears up
by Ami Prince
Thirteen-year-old Cody Prince doesn’t normally look forward to the cold weather creeping
into southern Germany. 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.

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

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.”

Ambassadors program, call Sergeant Prince at

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.”

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

Rogues into the cup standings for the
playoffs.
The Rogues first cup playoff match was
against a veteran team from Nuremberg,

quarter-finals against the British Army

Hi everyone! I’m a stay-at-home mom that
wants to CLEP some tests for college and
was wondering if anyone wanted to join
me. I know how hard it is to try and study
for something on your own, especially with
little ones, so I thought maybe we could
help each other out. I don’t know how often
we’d meet, or when; but if there’s enough
interest in this, maybe we could rent a room
somewhere? Or at my house? I’m flexible!
Email me at naughtykittycat13@hotmail.
com or cal 06372-806-4026 and we’ll figure
something out!
