Airmen were involved with members of the Polish air force
Oct. 14 through today during the fiscal
year’s first rotation of aircraft to the
U.S. Air Force Aviation Detachment
in Poland.
U.S. and Polish air force members
trained and learned from each other
on several airlift functions, including
flight controls and aircraft maintenance. As part of the continued partnership, this is the second time this
year Airmen from the 37th Airlift
Squadron trained with the Polish air
force.
“It’s great being able to work with
our Polish counterparts because they
deal with some of the same issues we
do,” said Capt. Scott Vander Ploeg,
37th Airlift Squadron Av-Det Rotation

reparing more than 1,000 security forces
members for deployments every year falls
on the shoulders of less than 20 cadre from
the 435th Air Ground Operations Wing operating
out of Baumholder, Germany. The cadre are there
to guide security forces Airmen to reach their optimal capabilities.
Senior Airman Jesse Koritar, 435th Security
Forces Squadron combat tactics technician, ensures
all security forces members passing through his
class are capable of performing 24 core security
forces tasks, ranging from nighttime operations,
fire control measures and urban operations.
“This is the type of training environment where
mistakes are allowed and improved upon,” Koritar
said. “We aim to mold everyone into a squad leader
so safety will never be an issue.”
Cadre use class members to shape even the lowest ranking Airman into a leader. Koritar instills
student-driven lessons inside his teaching structure.
“We always aim to leave an impact,” Koritar
said. “There is already years of experience and
multiple deployments completed within every
squad arriving here. Cadre facilitate and guide the
learning and refreshing process. The knowledge to
complete the mission is already instilled in every
defender that passes through; we just reaffirm and
consolidate what they already know.”
Confidence built within each other and within a
squad is paramount to the Creek Defender course.

Halloween core values
COMMENTARY
by Col. Ray Briggs
86th Maintenance Group
commander
It was three nights before
Halloween, and Staff Sgt. Randy
Brown was sleeping. He was
dreaming of his upcoming trip to
Frankfurt airport with his fiancee,
Susan, from the 86th Force Support
Squadron. They were about to fly
to the U.S. to get married.
In his dream, a traffic jam had
forced them off of the autobahn
and onto a lonely stretch of highway near Frankenstein Castle
outside of Darmstadt. The locals
know strange things still happen
around the woods near Frankenstein
Castle. Locals tell a 150-year-old
story about a mad woodsman who
used his ax to do unspeakable
things. The ghost of the mad woodsman is said to still haunt the woods
near Frankenstein Castle today.
It was raining and already dark,
but Randy was only thinking of
Susan and getting to the airport.
Susan was uncomfortable with
Randy’s driving on the winding
road in the rain. She asked where
they were. Sensing her unease,
Randy decided it would be better
to not tell her about Frankenstein
Castle and the local legend of the
area, so he made up a story about a
fairytale from outside Darmstadt.
He slowed as he passed a disabled vehicle, pretending to see if
they needed assistance; he had no
real intention of stopping as all he
could think of was getting to the
airport. Randy was now concentrating on the GPS as it recalculated for the um-teenth time,
hoping it would get them rerouted
back to the autobahn and on the
way to Frankfurt.
As he looked up, he saw a shadowy figure with an ax standing in
the middle of the road. He swerved,
losing control of the vehicle and
slid down an embankment. The

car was not damaged and no one
was hurt, but it was stuck in the
mud.
Randy and Susan looked up
to see the shadowy, ax-wielding
figure standing in front of them.
As the ax came thundering down
into the car, Randy awoke with a
fright. He couldn’t help but think,
“If only I had practiced integrity
first and told the truth about where
we were, this would not have happened.”
The next night, Randy was
again dreaming of his drive to the
Frankfurt airport. Just as before, it
was raining, dark and traffic had
pushed them off of the autobahn onto
the back roads near Frankenstein
Castle.
As the GPS recalculated, Susan
asked about where they were in her
uneasy manner. This time, Randy
knew he should tell her the truth.
He told her about Frankenstein
Castle and the legend of the mad
woodsman.
It didn’t make Susan feel any
better, but he knew he had told the
truth. He slowed as he passed the
disabled vehicle, but continued on,
just as he had done the night before.
Randy focused on the GPS, only
to look up to see a shadowy figure
with an ax standing in the middle of
the road. He swerved, lost control
of the vehicle and slid down the
embankment. The car was undamaged and there were no injuries, but
they were stuck. Randy and Susan
looked up to see the ax-wielding
ghost standing in front of them.
As his ax came crashing down
onto the car, Randy was startled
awake. He couldn’t help but think,
“If only I had practiced service
before self and assisted the disabled vehicle, this would not have
happened.”

again dreaming of his drive to the

had pushed them off of the autobahn onto the back roads near
Frankenstein Castle. The GPS continued to recalculate, and Susan
asked the uneasy question about
where they were. Again, Randy
told the truth about the castle and
the legend of the mad woodsman.
As they approached a disabled
vehicle, he stopped and rendered
assistance. He helped the stranded
driver place his warning triangle
100 meters from the vehicle and
changed a flat tire. Randy wasn’t
prepared for the evening’s rain and
ended up soaking wet and cold,
even though it only took 15 minutes to help the stranger. They
should still be able to make it to the
airport on time, if they could find
their way back to the autobahn.
After getting back to his car,
Randy was shivering from the cold
and dripping wet. Shaking water
from his brow, he looked up to
see a shadowy figure with an ax
standing in the middle of the road.
The car swerved and slid down

an embankment, undamaged and
without injuries, but stuck in the
mud. Driver and passenger looked
up to see the shadowy, ax-wielding figure standing in front of the
car.
Again, the ax came crashing
down onto the car, and Randy suddenly awoke with a cold sweat. He
couldn’t help but think, “If only I
had practiced excellence and been
prepared for the conditions of the
evening, this would not have happened.”
It was time for the Randy and
Susan’s drive to the Frankfurt
airport, and this was no
dream.
Just like his dreams the previous
three nights, it was raining, dark
and traffic had pushed them off of
the autobahn onto the back roads
near Frankenstein Castle.
The GPS continued to recalculate, but Susan was following on the
map they had prepared in advance.

Soldiers at Vogelweh remember fallen CID special agent
Story and photos
by Rick Scavetta
U.S. Army Garrison
Rheinland-Pfalz
S
unshine and somber music filled
Vogelweh’s chapel as Army law
enforcement Soldiers honored
the memory of Sgt. Joseph
Peters — the first special agent
from the Army’s Criminal
Investigation
Command,
known as CID — to die in
combat since the command
was established in 1971.
Peters, 24, of Springfield,
Mo., was killed Oct. 6 by
enemy explosives in Zhari
District, near Kandahar,
Afghanistan.
“The thin blue line is truly
thinner today,” said Sgt. Justin
Link, using a colloquial term
for police forces known well
to the gathering of mostly
military police Soldiers.
Peters enlisted in 2007,
working in Army intelligence. He deployed to Iraq
in 2008 and 2009. Promoted
to sergeant in 2010, Peters
became a CID special agent
and was posted to the 286th
Military Police Detachment
in Vicenza, Italy — a closeknit team of 12 Soldiers
and Italian employees. At
Caserma Ederle, Peters
investigated 60 felony-level
cases. He was a diligent and
determined agent who liked
to break the seriousness of
police work with good humor,
said Chief Warrant Officer 2
Chris Kellenberger.
“He
worked
hard,”
Kellenberger said. “He was
fun to be around. He liked to
have a good time and loved
what he was doing. He’d be
serious when he needed to to
get his job done.”
In April 2013, he deployed
to Afghanistan in support
of U.S. Special Operations
Command. Part of an elite
team, Peters took part in classified missions in remote
areas.
At the service, Peters’ wife
Ashley and their son Gabriel
sat in the first pews with
Peters’ parents, Dennis and
Debbie. The family traveled
from Missouri to take part in
the memorial. Soldiers quietly reflected as Pfc. Anthony
Oliveira, from the Wiesbaden
CID unit, played a spiritual
song on his guitar. Outside,
Soldiers from the 18th
Military Police Brigade fired
volleys followed by a bugler
sounding taps.
Although
casualties
among CID Soldiers are rare,
the dangers they face each
day — either in garrison or
deployed to combat zones —
are not, said Lt. Col. Sarah K.
Albrycht, commander of the
5th MP Battalion.
“The loss of agent Peters
was a shock,” Albrycht said.
“It hurts so much to lose one
of your own.”
Peters was posthumously
awarded the Bronze Star with
valor, the Purple Heart, the
Meritorious Service Medal,
the Afghanistan Campaign
Medal, the NATO Medal and
the Combat Action Badge.
The U.S. Army Europe
command team, Lt. Gen.
Donald M. Campbell Jr. and
Command Sgt. Maj. David S.
Davenport Sr., attended the
service, as did several senior
Army and Air Force leaders from the KMC. After a
chaplain’s prayer, Peters’ coworkers and friends spoke
about their fallen comrade.
Soldiers from the Sembach-based 18th Military Police Brigade render a rifle
salute in honor of Sgt. Joseph Peters during a service at Vogelweh chapel.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Chris Kellenberger, Sgt. Joseph Peters’ supervisor, gives the eulogy during a memorial for
Peters, the first special agent from the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command to die in combat since the command formed in 1971.
For a few days, the office
was in disbelief, Kellenberger
said.
“Since then, we’ve accepted it. It’s the nature of what
we volunteered to do,”
Kellenberger said. “With that
acceptance, we’ve become a
little more lighthearted. We
tell stories about Joe.”
Peters was both mentor and
friend to Link, 26, of North
Brunswick, N.J., who arrived
in Vicenza a year after Peters.
As CID agents, they investigated felony crimes from
assaults to drugs and larcenies.
“We started working
cases together. He was my
partner,” Link said. “He was
a ‘bro’ at heart. He was the
guy who, when we’re getting ready to go home, would
ask, ‘Who wants to go get a
beer?’”
Close in age and younger than their colleagues, the
agents found solace at the
Arena, Caserma Ederle’s onpost watering hole, talking
over Hefeweizen beers — a
way to leave the day’s stressors behind.

spends the majority of
the year on the road doing what
some would call the impossible.
While traditional maintenance
squadrons are fixing everyday
outages, these Airmen are called
upon when it seems no one has
the answer.
The squadron provides specialized Air Force maintenance support for Department
of Defense computer and infor-
mation systems within the U.S.
European Command area. They
also present theater commanders
with emergency restoration, preventative maintenance, training
expertise and maintenance support exceeding base-level capabilities. These Airmen receive
extensive training and received
certifications that exceed what
base-level personnel require.
“We have a unique mission
here, and we’re diverse with
a good range of knowledge
between all of the sections and
personnel,” said Master Sgt.
Chet Fine, 1st CMXS operations
flight chief. “We work as the
9-1-1 of the comm maintenance
world. As soon as we get a call
for support, we are usually on
the road within 48 hours.”
The three sections that make
up the squadron are operations, plans and programs and
the regional maintenance center. Each section holds their
own specialist on maintenance
aspects from cables and vehicles
to airfield weather equipment.

Showcasing base pride with mass cleaning
Airman John Crover, 86th Civil Engineer Squadron operations manager, gathers leaves
during a base clean up Monday on Ramstein. The first of the two clean-up days directed the
KMC to tidy up the interiors and exteriors of base facilities. The second day was focused on
base housing areas. During the base clean up, KMC personnel picked up trash around their
surrounding areas and gathered leaves and debris.
Soldiers from the 21st Theater
Sustainment Command’s 21st Special
Troops Battalion conducted land navigation training Oct. 15 to 17 to prepare for the Warrior Leader Course in
the KMC.
Training began on Panzer Kaserne
with classroom instruction covering
every aspect of land navigation. Soldiers
learned about terrain features, including
hills, valleys, ridges, saddles and draws,
and how to read the legend on a map.
They also received instruction on how
to orient a map and determine its scale,
said Sgt. 1st Class Jose Garnica, an
operations NCO assigned to the 21st
STB and the course instructor.
“Land navigation is something a
lot of these Soldiers don’t use in their
day-to-day mission, but it is something all Soldiers need to keep close to
their heart,” Garnica said. “In a time
when people rely so heavily on technology, it’s important to know how
to use a map in case those electronic
systems fail.”
The class continued with instruction
on reading an eight-digit grid coordinate and plotting it on a map. After
plotting multiple points, the students
learned to determine an azimuth and
distance between two points. Finally,
Garnica taught them the basics of terrain association and how to identify
the location of terrain features in relation to a plotted point.
“Plotting points, determining the
azimuth, determining distance and

Command’s 1st Human Resources Sustainment
Command, checks his azimuth during land
navigation training.
terrain association will help these
Soldiers find their points quicker,”
Garnica said. “When they go to the
Warrior Leader Course they will go
into it with a better understanding of
multiple ways to find their points.”
On the third day of training, the
Soldiers put everything they learned
into practice with LANDNAV lanes
on Rhine Ordnance Barracks. The
“Always Ready” Soldiers received
starting grid coordinates, a map, a
compass, a protractor and four points
to find. During the first iteration the
Soldiers operated in buddy teams,
during a second iteration they had
to navigate alone, said Spc. Billy L.
Phillips, a human resources specialist
assigned to the 21st TSC’s 1st Human
Resources Sustainment Command.
“At first getting through the terrain
in the woods was difficult, but as we
became more comfortable with what
we were doing it got easier to find
our points,” Phillips said. “I think this
training is going to help all of us when
we get to WLC. Having this knowledge and experience will lead us to
success.”

able to work together in a different way.”
As long-time allies, the U.S. and Poland continue to build
partnership capacity together at the Av-Det, and missions
like this help to strengthen that important alliance.
“By working with our counterparts, we are able to
increase the capabilities of ourselves and our allies around
us,” Vander Ploeg said. “It’s important to do because if we

FTAC builds foundation
for professional Airmen

T
he basics, check. The training,
check. Now, on to professionalism.
From the intensity of basic military training to the countless hours
of sitting in class gaining career knowledge,
the time finally comes to use those skills
and become military professionals. This is
the path all Air Force members must take in
their first month as the new faces of the Air
Force.
First-Term Airman Center instructors are
responsible for taking new Airmen and shaping them into contributing members of the
Air Force. They provide key information needed to prosper as Airmen begin their Air Force
career.
“We provide them with the information
they’re going to use for the rest of their
career,” said Staff Sgt. Robert Hockenhull,
86th Force Support Squadron FTAC
instructor. “Every briefing is important and
they will need this information at some point
in their career.”
Along with teaching the basics of being
an Airman during the eight-day course, the
instructors assist by helping them with wingmenship.
“It’s about molding them into Airmen
and helping them become great people,”
Hockenhull said. “We’ve built an environment
Share yoeusr!
adventur
that allows them to become closer with their
fellow wingmen and come out of their shells
in our group activities.”
FTAC instructors haven’t always had
the job of training Airmen. The instructors
teaching the courses are from many different
career fields and use their different experiences to provide a variety of knowledge to the
Airmen.
“I have worked with nearly every
career field in the Air Force,” said Staff Sgt.
James Gettis, 86th Force Support Squadron
FTAC instructor. “Because instructors come
from different jobs, we can answer a lot of
questions the Airmen have about what the
operational Air Force is like.”
Gettis said the transition from trainee to
professional is the best time to teach new Air
Force ambassadors important aspects they
need to know.
“This is the most crucial part,” Gettis said.
“The transition can be rough, but they made
a great decision in their life. Wearing the uniform is a matter of pride and dedication to
something greater than themselves … they can
go to bed at the end of the night saying they are
professional and they have to learn to present
themselves as such.”
FTAC instructors provide leadership skills
from the front as well as followership skills
needed to be successful in their Air Force
career. With their new found Air Force knowledge Airmen have the tools they need to perform their job and be a functional member of
the Air Force.

The bystander effect
by Senior Airman Trevor Rhynes
I
magine yourself walking down the street,
minding your own business, on your way
home from a long day at work. It’s getting dark and someone in your peripheral
vision stumbles down some stairs they
didn’t see.
The sidewalk and the street nearby is full of traffic. There’s plenty of other people to help out, right?
Someone else will stop to see if that person is OK,
right?
A person stumbling on two or three stairs isn’t
that serious of a situation, but having the mentality
that someone else nearby will help could lead to that
person not getting help in a dire moment.
“The bystander mentality can be avoided by just
taking the risk and stepping in,” said Tech. Sgt.
Lenny Mejia, 693rd Intelligence Support Squadron
cyber systems operations technician. “Don’t worry
about the feelings of discomfort or embarrassment
and just do it.”
Mejia was one of several individuals who came to
someone’s aid when they were riding a bicycle near
the Belgian Support Unit and fell.
“I noticed a cyclist who was about to traverse the
steps of a walking path that’s across the parking lot
of the Belgian bar,” Mejia said. “I saw the cyclist
was about to experience a bad fall and then saw he
was no longer on the walking path. I quickly turned
the vehicle around and saw if I could help.”
Two others who were driving also stopped to
give aid. The women stayed with the bicyclist while
Mejia ran to call an ambulance.
“He had two big road rashes with bleeding at the
top left of his forehead and cheek,” Mejia said. “If
not for his helmet the injuries sustained would have
been immediately life threatening. His fall was hard
enough that his front tire was bent and elliptical in
shape.”
“The ambulance arrived in a few minutes,” said
Airman 1st Class Ryan Dulude, 24th Intelligence
Squadron signals analyst. “I saw the accident while
walking home from work and came over to see
what I could do. The medical personnel had me help
move the individual into the ambulance.”
Without the individuals who stopped to help, the
cyclist might have been left to get help on his own,
Mejia said.
“It’s important to stop and offer help if you see
something happen,” Dulude said. “People should
take the time and assist if they’re needed. What
would you do if you were hurt but no one stopped
to help you?”
The cyclist was treated by medical technicians
and released from care shortly after arriving at the
hospital.

She joked about the GPS’s inability to keep up
with her. She knew they were traveling near
Frankenstein Castle and asked Randy what he
knew about the area. Randy told her about the legend of the mad woodsman.
As they approached a disabled vehicle, they
rendered assistance.
He donned his rain gear and gloves, pulling a
poncho hat over his head. He helped the stranded
driver place his warning triangle and changed a
flat tire. It only took 15 minutes, and because he
had planned for extra time on his drive, they still
had plenty of time to make it to the airport.
After getting back to his car, Susan said how
impressed she was with Randy. He was prepared
for the drive, had an alternate plan to deal with
traffic and was a good citizen by helping the
stranded driver. The two drove on, staying alert,
minding their speed, and working as a team. They
passed a shadowy figure who appeared to be holding an ax, which made Susan gasp.
As Randy stayed focused on the road, they
drove by the figure and realized that it was just a
scarecrow decoration put out for Halloween.
The bend on the road and unusual lighting
made it appear to be in the road. As they returned
to the autobahn and continued to Frankfurt airport, both Randy and Susan knew the importance of living the core values of integrity, service and excellence. They had no doubt
that it was going to be great wedding.
New granulator machine puts money back into Army’s pocket
Story and photo by Staff Sgt.
Warren W. Wright Jr.
A
mid intense budgetary concerns and with units across
the Department of Defense
striving to save money, one
organization has found a
way to bring money back into the
Army by selling something most
Soldiers see as garbage after a day at
the range.
The Ammunition Center Europe,
a subordinate organization to the
Theater Logistics Support CenterEurope, has recently acquired a brass
granulator machine with the ability to
break used and empty brass ammunition cartridges into tiny flakes, which
can then be sold for a profit.
“We now have the ability to granulate
the brass here and then we can sell it to
local contractors,” said Juan C. Gomez,
chief of ACE’s material management
division. “Sixty percent of the proceeds
that we make out of the sale will go to
the Army and 40 percent of the proceeds
we can request for improvement of our
facilities and installation.”
Current estimates show that the
machine has the ability to shred
enough brass to earn between
$370,000 and $400,000 each quarter
for the foreseeable future.
“It’s important because we’re saving the government money by granulating our own brass,” said Darren
Williams, a munitions handler with
ACE. “It’s more like a recycling program within the organization.”
Prior to receiving the granulator
machine, ACE stored used brass at
the Miesau Army Depot. During that
10-year period, the organization has
accumulated more than 1,800 short
tons of spent brass, ranging from .50
caliber rounds all the way down to
5.56 mm rounds.
Back then, “the normal process was
to collect the brass and turn it into the
Defense Logistics Agency, however,
we were encountering too many problems,” Gomez said. “When we turned
the items into the DLA, they would
screen it, and as soon as they found
a live round they would return everything back to us.”
The process of constantly shipping
large quantities of brass back and
forth between locations because of
one or two live rounds in the bin
became too tedious and expensive to
maintain, so ACE decided to use some
of the empty munitions bunkers at the
depot to store the rounds.
“That was creating a big problem
for us because we had to transport it
over there, then we had to go back

and transport it here, rescreen it and
transport it back to them,” Gomez
said. “The machine was not available
to us 10 years ago, and now that it is
available, we can deal with our own
brass.”
Currently, the operation is in a pilot
stage, testing the capabilities of the
machine and making sure everything
works correctly. The project is slated
to become fully operational Monday.
“When we become fully operation-
al we expect to be able to granulate up
to 1,000 rounds per hour and we will
be working on a daily basis,” Williams
said. “The process is going very well
because during the pilot stage we have
moved past a lot of barriers.
“It feels good to be out here doing
this job,” Williams added. “We’re
in the process of bringing money
back into our organization and to our
community — we’re making money
instead of spending money.”

Watch for vampires in your home
T
hey’re called vampire electronics.
They suck energy even when turned
off and can drive up the energy
bills of unwary consumers. Although
this eerie-sounding term can result
in chilling home energy bills, the solution is
not as scary. To keep energy bills down and
consumption in check, the key is to identify the
electronic culprits and drive a stake through their
power-hungry hearts.
Counted among the legions of vampire electronics in most homes are portable music players,
mobile phones and televisions. Even microwaves,
stoves and washing machines can take on vampire-like qualities. Small appliances and electronic
devices, such as clocks, remote controls and battery chargers, continue zapping energy when not in
use.
Many vampire electronics lurk in the average
home, making the potential for energy waste shocking.
For instance, a sleek plasma television moni-
tor can suck up to 1,450 kilowatt hours of energy annually, which translates into approximately
$320 per year using local electrical rates. A video
game console consumes about 230 kilowatt hours
annually while in active standby mode, ringing
up a bill of about $50 a year. Even the average
home computer uses a whopping 310 kWh
annually when in standby mode, costing about $70
a year.
Halloween is a great time for the KMC to exorcise these electrical demons from their homes. It
is the small things, such as leaving the cell phone
charger plugged in or power tools in their chargers
that use constant energy.
Over time, a great deal of power is consumed.
As people prepare to winterize their homes, they
should also devise a strategy to minimize the
amount of energy their homes use, even when
they’re not around or sleeping. Here are some suggestions:
• When finished charging devices such as a mobile phone or tablet, disconnect the device and
unplug the charger. Even if the device isn’t connected, energy continues to seep out through the
charger itself.
• Unplug all major appliances when heading out on vacation. Even when devices such as the microwave, stove and washing machine aren’t in use, they
continue to gobble energy.
• Turn all computers monitors and printers off. Though this equipment may automatically convert
to sleep mode, it keeps draining energy.
• Rather than leaving a light on to deter burglars, install a timer. This way, lights are on for only a
short period rather than all day.
• Purchase a power strip that can turn several appliances off at the same time so plugging-in and
un-plugging is easier and more convenient.
Taking simple steps like these, can make a big
difference when it comes to monthly energy bills.
Armed with the knowledge of vampire electronics,
residents can slay them before their wallet is sucked
dry.

Energy conservation: One person can make a change

Squadron commander
As autumn prepares us for
our winter slumber, there are
many events that come with
the season: village farmers

winter stews and soups, all of
which warm our bones.
We plan our Halloween
parties and fall feasts to invite
folks over for fun and fellowship. But, do you celebrate October as Energy
Conservation Month? I know.

We are going to have a good

impact one person can have
on the energy consumed daily,

you to do the math, but I do

This is energy down the drain.

using energy and you are getting nothing from it.
• Get a quick car check. To save gas, drive the speed
limit, accelerate and decelerate slower, remove excess/
unneeded weight, reduce
unnecessary idling and miles
traveled, and make sure tires
are properly inflated. Having a serviceable vehicle and
operating it conservatively
can save gas and money.

• Use coffee mugs instead of disposable cups. Next time

HONOR, from Page 3
A heavy metal music fan and budding guitarist, Peters was known
for his energy. In Italy, they visited
castles and nearby Soave. Another
memorable trip was to the Edelweiss
Lodge and Resort in GarmischPartenkirchen, Germany.
“He loved to get out. He didn’t
like sitting at home. He always wanted to do something,” Link said. “He
had a lot of energy. That rubbed off
on everybody in the office.”
When Peters deployed, Link
missed hanging out with his buddy.
The office was much quieter.
That Sunday, Oct. 6, Link was
catching up on “Breaking Bad”
episodes when Peters’ wife, Ashley,
sent him a message from the states
saying his friend was dead. He sat
for a couple of minutes just shaking
his head.
“I was expecting it to just be a
mistake, to find out a couple hours
later that it was the wrong Joe Peters
or (they) mixed his Social Security
number up or something,” Link said.
“I just couldn’t believe it.”
Link called Staff Sgt. Brian
Mason, who was at home looking for
his keys and getting ready for supper
with his girlfriend.
“I got some news for you (about
Joe),” Mason recalled Link saying.
“Joe (died).”
Mason, 31, of Carlsbad, N.M.,
tried to keep his composure, but the
tears came quickly.
“It was devastating. I was in disbelief,” Mason said. “It was a very
somber moment for me.”
Peters was two weeks shy of
coming home, Link said. While
on assignment in Germany, Link
found a case of Samuel Adams
Octoberfest beer, to celebrate once
Peters returned. The case was never
opened. Peters’ friends plan to drink
it and celebrate his memory, Link
said.
Shortly before his death, Peters
mailed a flag he’d carried on a mission to Mason. But Mason, who also
served in Afghanistan, wanted to
wait until Peters returned to Vicenza
to open it — a decision he said he
now regrets.
“I was looking forward to him
coming back,” Mason said.
A week after Peters’ death, Mason
looked inside. Along with the flag
was a hand-scrawled note filled with
Peters’ comical sense of humor,
Mason said, both smiling and tearful as he recalled his friend’s gesture.
“I waited to open it,” Mason said.
“I never got a chance to say, ‘Thank
you.’”

his squad during an urban operations evaluation Oct. 17 in Baumholder, Germany.
CADRE, from Page 1
Using the squad to teach and better
itself pushes each group of defenders
to believe in themselves no matter what
they might face.
“Trust is the most important aspect we
emphasize here,” Koritar said. “Once
the trust is built in each squad, guiding
them to be where they need to reach
is simple. It’s how we operate here to
complete our mission and secure a safe
area of operation while deployed.”
Building toward a safe deployed
location is why cadres like Koritar
strive for perfecting any flaws while
teaching. Bringing home every last service member safely is their goal.
“There are a lot of stressful situations anyone can face while deployed,”
said Airman 1st Class Marcel Baca,
100th Security Forces Squadron Creek
Defender student. “I feel much more
confident in my ability to tackle these
situations after going through this
program. Cadre, like Koritar, really
pushed us to find the answer we needed
by looking inside ourselves.”

Drug Take-Back Day
by Capt. Richard Smith
86th Medical Support Squadron
T
he 86th Medical Group
pharmacy will participate
in the National Prescription
Drug Take-Back Day from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the
Kaiserslautern Military Community
Center food court.
The event provides the public
with an opportunity to prevent medication abuse and theft by ridding
their homes of potentially dangerous
expired, unused and unwanted prescriptions.
For those who are unable to participate during this time, the 86th
MDG pharmacy offers daily disposal
of prescriptions through their permanent take-back drop box located
in the lobby of the pharmacy. All
Army pharmacy facilities in Europe
take discontinued, unwanted or
expired prescription medications for
disposal during regular pharmacy
business hours. These services are
free and anonymous, no questions
asked.
The Drug Enforcement Administration conducts two National
Prescription Drug Take-Back Days
per year. In April, Americans turned
in 742,497 pounds (371 tons) of prescription drugs at more than 5,829
locations. This is the seventh time
the 86th MDG has participated in the
National Drug Take-Back initiative.
This initiative addresses a vital
public safety and public health issue.
Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are
alarmingly high, as are the number of
accidental poisonings and overdoses
due to these drugs.
Studies show that a majority of
abused prescription drugs are obtained
from family and friends, including
from the home medicine cabinet. In
addition, patients are now advised
that their usual methods for disposal
of unused medicines — flushing them
down the toilet or throwing them in
the trash — both pose potential safety
and health hazards.
This event ensures medications
are properly disposed of, minimizes impact on the environment and
allows our homes and community to
become safer.

midst of something very difficult and we want to help people understand the problems
that they are going through are
temporary.”
Organizations within the
military are focused on reducing suicides. Some of these
organizations include the
mental health clinic, chaplain
services and a crisis hotline
for military members and
their families.
“I work closely with the
chaplains, Airman & Family
Readiness Center, and military family life consultants
so that we can all work
together on how we can make
sure people get the right help
they need,” Brewton said.
“We are constantly trying
to get the information out to
people that we are here to
help.”
The Air Force is a family
with agencies setup to help
deal with various problems
Airmen and their families
face so that they never believe
suicide should be the solution.
“The Ask, Care and Escort
program is a suicide prevention program where you
remember to ask, care and
escort members we are worried about,” said Staff Sgt.
Nichole Kuck, 86th MDS
mental health flight mental
health technician. “We reinforce resiliency and suicide
prevention to help people
overcome life challenges so
you won’t even come to the
point where you (might be
thinking of taking your own
life).”
The U.S. Air Force is dedicated to the care and well
being of the physical, mental
and spiritual health of Airmen
and their families. With the
ACE program, every Airmen
is on the frontline in helping
prevent suicide.
When Airmen seek help
for their wingmen and themselves, it works toward our
goal to end suicide amongst
our ranks.

air defense operations. The “First in
Support” Soldiers worked tirelessly,
for up to 16 hours a day to ensure each
piece of equipment met the standard
for international transport, said Staff
Sgt. Tyler P. Jackson, the transportation movement and installation staging area supervisor with the 21st TSC.
“This team was comprised of
Soldiers from throughout the 21st and
this is really their first time working
together,” Jackson said. “They put in
a lot of hard work and they worked
some long hours, but they got the job
done.”
Prior to the inspections, Jackson
gave a class to the entire team how
to properly conduct their mission and
interact with their 5-7 ADA counterparts.
“For most of these Soldiers this is
their first time working on a mission
like this so it is important for them to
understand what is inspected and how
to do it right,” Jackson said. “They
handled this mission professionally
and worked very well with the air
defense Soldiers.”
During the first week of inspections, the 21st TSC team worked

units. If a fault was found, the units
worked together to fix the equipment and prepare it for rail load, said
Sgt. 1st Class Kimberlie S. Harris,
the staff movment NCO with the 21st

“The inspections, services and
documentation checks are all done
to ensure this equipment does not
get held up in transit,” Harris said.
“As these containers and vehicles go

“If we can’t fix something there really isn’t
anyone above us who
can, so we always have
to find a solution,” said
Fine. “There isn’t anything that we can’t either
fix or find a solution to,
that’s why our motto is
‘when all else fails … we
don’t!’”
This unique squadron
is one of three Air Force
wide and spends more
than 100 days a year
on average on the road
because they are in such
high demand. When they
aren’t traveling, they are
at Kapaun training for
the next possible scenario.
“We feel important when we come to
work,” said Tech. Sgt.
Thomas Stockton, 1st
CMXS regional maintenance technician. “We
impact all of USAFEAFAFRICA and without us, a lot of missions
would have failed.”
According to the
Airmen who work in the
squadron, being part of
such a large mission and
the effect they have on
the rest of the Air Force
is what makes it so great
to come to work every
day and be part of such a
unique squadron.
Although the personnel spend a greater part
of the year traveling,
most of them still have
families at home, Fine
said. They could easily
go out and get this job
as a civilian and get paid
a lot more, but most of
them stay just because
they love this mission
and the camaraderie
throughout the shop, it’s
like a family.
The Airmen of this
highly dedicated squadron prove time and
time again why they are
so good at what they
do.

traveling, deployments
and training their no-fail
attitude allows them to
strive for perfection in
every challenge coming

Retiree Appreciation Day information fair
Story and photo by
Senior Airman Jose L. Leon
The 86th Airlift Wing Retiree Activities
Office held an information fair from
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday at the Ramstein
Officers’ Club to celebrate Retiree
Appreciation Day.
Brig. Gen. Patrick X. Mordente, 86th
Airlift Wing commander, kicked off the
event.
Representatives from legal, Tricare, the
pharmacy, identification card offices, customs and the KMC Retiree Council, as
well as other organizations, gave briefings
on updates to programs and answered
questions from the crowd.
“One of the things we try to do is get
people more curious about things and try
to find out issues they are having,” said
Lou De Andrade, KMC retiree council
president. “It is important to show that the
services care for the retirees.”
De Andrade worked with the Air Force
and Army to organize the guest speakers
and information fair. Attendees were able
to ask questions when they were done
speaking by visiting them at their respective booth for more information.
“Keeping up with what is going on
Retirees visit one of the informational booths set up for Retiree Appreciation Day Tuesday on

answer questions from the audience.
in the military is what most retirees fail
to do,” said retired Army Sgt. 1st Class
James Hadnot. “There is a great deal of
information here for us to take care of
ourselves and our families.”
The 86th Medical Group also offered
immunization shots at their booth. Other
things offered at the booths were blood
pressure tests, eye examinations and informational items.
In addition to the Retiree Appreciation
Day, Pulaski and Ramstein dental
clinics will be open for retirees from
8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday on Pulaski and
8 a.m. to noon on Ramstein for exams,
oral cancer screenings, cleanings and
X-rays.

Donate today, save a life tomorrow
by Senior Airman Whitney Stork
The 86th Communications Squadron sponsored a blood drive
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 18 in the Kaiserslautern Military
Community Center food court.
The event is dependent solely on volunteers donating their
time and blood. The Armed Services Blood Program only collects blood from the military community and all the blood that is
collected stays in the community.
“The ASBP works hard to replenish blood supplies that ultimately save lives in theater and across the military community,”
said Emily Hayes, American Red Cross assistant station manager. “It’s especially important for those that are eligible to give
blood and try to donate while they can.”
Every pint of blood that is collected can save up to three lives.
There was a total of 45 pints of blood collected, which equates
to 135 lives that could be saved.
“I think it’s important to donate because of the lives you can
save with something so easy and it’s no more painful than getting a shot or something fast like that,” said Tech. Sgt. Erin
Zorzy, 86th Maintenance Squadron Precision Measurement
Equipment Lab supervisor.
Although it is encouraged to donate, there are certain restrictions preventing some people to donate. Some of those restrictions include:
• Having a cold, flu or fever
• Had acupuncture in the past 12 months
• Weigh less than 110 pounds
• Acquired a tattoo or permanent make-up outside the U.S.
within the last 12 months
• Been pregnant in the last six weeks or are currently pregnant
• Have had Hepatitis after your 11th birthday
“Many warriors are deferred from donating due to service
overseas and many civilians are ineligible due to time spent in
Europe,” Hayes said. “To ensure the safety of blood donation for
donors and recipients, all volunteer blood donors must be evaluated to determine their eligibility to give blood.”
Along with the restrictions, participants must know the name
of any medication that has been taken and immunizations administered in the past four weeks and every place visited outside the
U.S. or Canada since 1980 to include deployments.
For further information on how to donate, contact the
American Red Cross at 480-2171 or 06371-47-2171.

Voice of the KMC
by Airman Dymekre Allen
Former Army specialist Isaac
Roosevelt, known on local television as “Mr. Funky,” works as an
accounting technician for the
86th Force Support Squadron on
Ramstein.
Roosevelt came to Europe in 1989
with the Army. After returning from
Operation Desert Storm, he separated and pursued a musical career.
Roosevelt is one of the lucky few who
will compete on the television show
“The Voice of Germany” and hopes to
“get lucky” for a chance to win cash
prizes and the hearts of fans and the
people of the KMC.
Q: How long have you been singing?
A: I have been singing all of my
life. As a child, my mom was the
director for our church choir, and she
inspired me. I went on to be a singer
for the 76th Army Band.
Q: What influenced you to be a
participant on “The Voice?”
A: Originally, I was contacted by
one of the producers of the show and
I performed with members of the
past seasons like Rino Galiano, Laura
Martin, Butch Williams, and Charles
Simmons to name a few. For me, it
does not even matter if I win. I know
it’s a funny little soap opera, but I can
appreciate the soap-opera aspect if I
get to make music influencing millions of people.
Q: What was your reaction when
you realized you were selected to be
on the show?
A: I was super proud and modest at
the same time, to know I was selected
to try out for the blind auditions. The
Pro Sieben Television Station released
information that only 150 people were
invited and 64 percent were women. I
was very lucky.
Q: With all the great talent on the
show, what do you think your chances are for coming out on top in the
competition?
A: My chances for coming out on
top in the competition are just as much
as everyone else’s. I think my experience will give me a big advantage. I
was assigned to the 76th Army Band

as a singer, so I have a lot of stage
experience and working with bands.
However, in the end, you only have a
few seconds to “win” the coaches over
because the audience is not involved
in the blind auditions. It is just you
and the backs of 4 chairs. The judges
are trying to win also and like poker
try to pick the best hand to win with.
You hope to give them something they
can feel in 90 seconds.
Q: What is your favorite part about
being in the competition?
A: My favorite part about the show
is meeting the main players of the
music business and witnessing all the
great musicians and talents. Just being
able to give them all I have to give and
seeing the best compete is something
that is intriguing about the competition because you’re having fun and
enjoying every second of the 15 minutes of fame.
Q: What’s been the most challenging thing about the competition so
far?
A: The most challenging part for
me is juggling my job here and leavSee VOICE, Page 26

10th AAMDC Soldiers earn Combat Lifesaver certification
Story and photo by
Staff Sgt. John Zumer
10th Army Air and Missile Defense
Medics play a vital role on today’s
battlefield, treating the injured before
their delivery to better equipped
medical facilities. But have you
ever wondered what happens to an
injured Soldier if a medic isn’t available immediately? Soldiers with the
10th Army Air and Missile Defense
Command, through recent combat
lifesaver training, are now better able
to provide initial medical care to the
injured before any medic appears.
U.S. Army Sgt. Stephen Walkosz,
battalion senior line medic, 5th
Battalion 7th Air Defense Artillery
Regiment, 10th Army Air and
Missile Defense Command, served
as an instructor for the most recent
CLS class held at Rhine Ordnance
Barracks, Oct. 15 to 18. It’s a class
that Walkosz usually teaches at least
once, and sometimes twice monthly.
“The main duty of a CLS-trained
Soldier is to assist the medics, which
usually means acting as a first responder,” Walkosz said.
U.S. Army Europe has set a require-
ment for one CLS bag and one CLStrained Soldier to be assigned to each
combat vehicle. The bag includes items
needed to treat battlefield casualties,
such as bandages, tourniquets, needles, etc. Additionally, refresher training must be completed annually for
Soldiers to maintain their CLS status.
Three days of classroom instruction
preceded a final day of field exercises,
where Soldiers took part in tactical
scenarios designed by Walkosz and
his medical team. Amidst pumped-in
noise, mud, woods and close-quarters,
Soldiers were evaluated on subjects
like casualty care, opening and managing a casualty’s airway, completing
a combat casualty care card, controlling bleeding, treating chest injuries
and requesting medical evacuation for
the injured.
“We expect them to get flustered,”
said Walkosz, who did his part during
the scenarios to get Soldiers to think
about all aspects of the mission, not
just the immediate tasks before them.
For U.S. Army Sgt. Ronin Shehu, a
Patriot missile engagement controller
with Headquarters and Headquarters
Battery,
10th
AAMDC,
the
chance to attend the CLS class is
something he feels other Soldiers

should do when given the opportunity.
“CLS Soldiers may not have the
experience of medics, but it’s still a
crucial skill that’s often overlooked,”
Shehu said.
Shehu found the chest decompression, tourniquets, airway management
and breathing control areas of instruction the most valuable, but was especially grateful for the chance to put it
all together in a fast-paced field environment.
Walkosz agreed, noting that classroom learning can never duplicate the
sights, sounds and rush of adrenaline
that Soldiers will experience in a real
tactical situation
“We want to see that when under
stress, they still meet the standard,”
he said.

No chewing gum on ground
A machine for used chewing gum can be found next to the Stiftskirche in the center of Kaiserslautern until midNovember. Citizens are asked to dispose of their gum in the machine and not spit it on the ground, where they stick
and become difficult to dispose of. The machines for used chewing gum keep the city from having to use expensive
lasers to clean the streets. This idea was highlighted during a scientific idea contest. Six ideas were chosen and
worked by scientists in research groups and institutes. Two more machines are set up at the corner of Schneiderand Marktstrasse and on Fackelstrasse 38.

Soldiers from the 30th Medical Command furl their unit colors during a recent ceremony at U.S. Army Garrison
Rheinland-Pfalz.
30th Medical Command inactivates,
reverts to 30th Medical Brigade
WIESBADEN, Germany — The 30th
Medical Command inactivated and the unit
reverted to the 30th Medical Brigade during a
ceremony Oct. 18 in Sembach.
Changing from a command to a brigade
will not change the unit’s mission. The change
results in a lower number of personnel and
affects who has direct oversight for the brigade. The 30th MEDCOM used to be a subordinate unit to European Regional Medical
Command but now, as 30th MED BDE, is
subordinate to U.S. Army Europe.
The 30th MED BDE will provide expeditionary theater level medical command
and control, health service support, force
health protection and medical synchronization of assigned and attached medical forces.
All of this is in support of U.S. Army Europe,
and any directed global contingency operations.
The brigade, which traces its roots back
to 1933 when it was activated as the 30th
Medical Regiment, was reorganized as the
30th Medical Command on Oct. 16, 2008.
In 2009, it became the first Theater Medical
Command to deploy to Afghanistan.

U.S. Air Forces in Europe and
Air Forces Africa Postal Operations
The following USPS mailing tips are provided to help ensure packages arrive safely and
undamaged:
The 2013 holiday season mailing dates for
postal customers assigned to the European
theater are:
The Box
Choose a box with enough room for cushioning material around the contents. When
reusing a box, cover up or black out any old
labels and markings.
Space Available Mail — Nov. 26
Parcel Airlift — Dec. 3
First Class/Priority Mail — Dec. 10
Priority Mail Express — Dec. 17
These dates are for mail originating in
Europe and destined to locations in the U.S.
Mail originating in the U.S. and sent to
European military addresses use similar mailing dates.
U.S. Air Forces Europe and Air Force Africa
postal patrons should plan ahead and mail
early to ensure letters, cards, and packages
arrive at intended U.S. destinations in time for
the holidays.
Customers can avoid long lines at the post
office when they mail early and can take
advantage of using the cheaper, although slower, space available mail service military post
offices offer in Europe.
Space available mail service takes longer to
arrive at end destinations and moves on a space
available basis once it arrives in the states. If
customers want faster service, they should
consider using priority mail or priority mail
express service. It costs more, but these classes
of mail get preferred and or expedited service.
Most mail accepted at military post offices
in Europe is flown to the U.S. on commercial
aircraft. Costumers should keep in mind, packages transiting through the mail stream are
handled numerous times, and therefore proper
packaging is important.
Cushioning
Place cushioning around items. Close and
gently shake the box to see whether there is
enough padding.
Sealing
Tape the box shut and reinforce the seams with
two-inch-wide tape. Use clear or brown packaging tape, reinforced packing tape or paper tape.
Size
The weight of a package cannot exceed 70
pounds. When using Priority Mail Express
or Priority Mail services for faster delivery,
length plus girth (distance around the thickest
part of the package) cannot exceed 108 inches.
When using space available mail, the total cannot be more than 130 inches.
Parcel airlift mail is a service that provides
air transportation for parcels on a spaceavailable basis. It is available for Parcel Post
items not exceeding 30 pounds in weight or 60
inches in combined length and girth.
Correct Address
Using a complete and correct address is
critical for timely delivery. Contact your local
postmaster for additional information on how
mail is dispatched and received at your location, and for advice on the best service to use
based on your mailing needs.

ing my family in Mannheim.
Although my commander and
fellow colleagues are very supportive, this is somewhat of a
strain on the entire operation.
Recording the blind auditions
took a week and I could not go
home to my family.
Q: How does being a former
military member play in to the
challenges you face in the competition?
A: Being a former military
member plays a very important
role in the show. In the end,
they want an interesting story
to tell and although “The Voice”
is center stage, who you are
as an individual supports your
level of interest for the viewers.
Although this is only its third
season, “The Voice of Germany”
is one of the most successful shows for the Pro Sieben
television station so it has to
be entertaining and hold the
audience’s attention and make
them keep coming back for
more. The German people and
U.S. military have a very long
history and solidarity and I represent the American military,
proudly.
Q: If you win, what’s your
next move?
My first goal if I win is to take
a very long vacation. Possibly
to Arcadia, Fla., and then come
back and get to work on writing
hits. Winning the show puts a
lot of pressure on the talent. My
philosophy is the music business
is 50 percent hard work and 50
percent luck. I have been doing
the hard work for more than 20
years and it is time for me to get
lucky. Keep your fingers crossed.
Q: How has being on the
show affected your personal
life?
A: So far, I have been able
to balance everything, but
I am starting to feel the pressure. People coming up to me
on the street and even doing this
interview, it’s a lot to take in. I
think the biggest reality check
though is having a regular job
every day.
Q: If you don’t come out
the victor by the end will you
continue to pursue a career in
music?
A: Music is my life and my
passion, to give it up is like asking me to stop breathing. The
show must go on.

Same sex marriage policy clarified
by Staff Sgt. David Salanitri
Air Force Public Affairs Agency,
Operating Location
WASHINGTON — The Air Force
recently published guidance clarifying the
service’s policy on implementation of
same sex marriage.
The guidance clarifies how Airmen may
be eligible for administrative absence to
obtain legal marriage, if the state or country they are stationed in does not yet recognize same sex marriage.
In order to be granted administrative
absence, the Airman must be located more
than 100 miles from a U.S. state, the
District of Columbia or other jurisdictions
that allows the couple to marry. According
to the policy, if two service members are
part of a couple and desire to get married,
both members may be granted an administrative absence if qualified.
Members may be granted up to seven
days if stationed in the continental United
States, and up to 10 days if stationed
overseas. The waiting period, required by
law, to obtain a legal marriage from the
jurisdiction nearest the assignment location is what determines the days. Also, a
maximum of two travel days is authorized
if stationed in the continental U.S., and
five days is authorized if the member is
stationed overseas.
“This will allow all Airmen to be recognized equally under the law in regards to
spousal benefits,” said Maj. Mark Cipolla,
Air Force force management policy division.
In order to determine eligibility, refer
to AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program.

Ramstein holds annual Wendelinus market
by Petra Lessoing
Ramstein-Miesenbach will hold its
annual Wendelinusmarkt 11 a.m. to
7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday in the
center of town.
“Ramstein’s advertising association
started sponsoring Wendelinus market
28 years ago,” said Ralf Hechler, chief
of the association. “We gave the fest
a new character and keep stores open
noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.”
Wendelinus market will feature
about 80 exhibitors presenting arts,
crafts and other merchandise. It also
includes a French market with culinary specialties such as patés, terrines, cremant, champagne, crepes
and tarte flambée. A flower truck from
the Netherlands will bring fresh flowers and children can enjoy rides on
merry-go-rounds.
The history of Wendelinusmarkt
dates back to the beginning of the 18th
century when most village residents
were farmers, and an epidemic threatened Ramstein’s cattle. People started
praying to Saint Wendelinus, the saint of
plague, who was asked for help in case
of contagious diseases. They promised
to celebrate the day of Saint Wendelinus
each year if the epidemic would end.
The first celebration was on a
Monday in 1710. People didn’t want
to work that day and schools were
closed. Relatives living outside of

Exhibitors and vendors sell their merchandise during Ramstein’s Wendelinus market Saturday and Sunday.
Ramstein came to visit, went to confession and listened to the fest sermon
conducted by several priests from
three altars, for 12 hours, without
interruption.
Afterwards, people stopped at the
chestnut carnival in front of the church,
where rosaries, crucifixes, prayer
books, candles and chestnuts were
sold. Years ago, the 12-hour prayer
was moved to Sunday, and the local
Catholic holiday lost its importance.
“We will start Wendelinus market
with a short memorial service at 11
a.m. Saturday near the intersection next
to the museum,” said Hechler. “All visitors can bring their pets to have them
blessed by our Catholic priest.”
After the traditional animal blessing, Mayor Stefan Layes will tap the
first keg of beer.
Swap meet lures model train enthusiasts
by Petra Lessoing
The culture center in RamsteinMiesenbach, Haus des Bürgers, will
turn into a mecca for model train enthusiasts Sunday. The Model Train Friends
Westpfalz will host their 43rd Model
Train Swap Meet from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“Exhibitors and clubs from throughout Germany and neighboring countries will present everything dealing
with model trains and accessories,”
said organizer Hans-Günther Wenner.
“This swap meet is the biggest of its
kind in Southwest Germany.”
More than 40 exhibitors and associations will display a variety of model
trains, accessories and tin toys.
Organizers don’t only want the
event to be a swap meet, but they also
want to make sure that unique items
are on display.
“Like in recent years we had many
requests for display tables, but unfortunately we were not able to give
a positive answer to each requester,
since there is only a limited space
capacity,” said Wenner.
Besides new items, there will be
used locomotives, carriages, tracks,
signals, houses, lamps, bridges and
spare parts.
“New and long-time model train
collectors can get good advice here
and find some neat bargains,” said
Wenner. “Collectors who specialize
in garden railroad track items, will be
able to find the items they need.”
Newly bought stuff can be tested
right away on special test tracks.
Visitors will be able to admire dolls,
tin toys and other hobby items.
A model train café can be found in
the foyer of the Haus des Bürgers.
Admission fee is €3 for adults and
€1 for youth. Children under 7 are
admitted free.

OSI: Help stop
fraud in KMC
The Air Force Office of Special Investigations’
13th Field Investigations Squadron, Economic
Crimes Division, is accomplishing one of the Air
Force’s top priorities: to detect, defeat and deter
fraud impacting force acquisitions and base-level
capabilities.
In much the same way the Eagle Eyes program
relies on citizens to report suspicious indicators
of terrorism, economic crime investigations often
rely on conscientious government employees
and contractors to report suspected fraud, waste or
abuse.
The federal government is beset by fraud on all
fronts. For instance, in fiscal year 2012, the U.S.
Department of Justice secured nearly $5 billion in
settlements and judgments under the False Claims
Act in cases involving fraud against the government. Moreover, amounts recovered under the False
Claims Act in 2012 exceeded the previous one-year
record by $1.7 billion, according to the Justice
Department’s website, www.justice.gov.
“It’s the people out there doing their job who actually detect fraud,” said OSI Special Agent Lawrence
Valdez. “Law enforcement personnel can’t be everywhere at all the times, so we rely on the government
personnel to be a force multiplier in identifying
fraudulent or suspicious activities.”
In general terms, fraud is “a willful misrepresentation for the purpose of obtaining something of
value.” Fraud costs American taxpayers more than
the combined annual spending of many countries in
the world.
Examples of fraud investigations include false
pay and allowance claims, Government Purchase
Card, acquisition and construction, and fraud within
services provided on base. Two recent cases investigated by OSI at Ramstein recovered more than $3
million, which was later used to fund other projects
in the KMC. Both investigations revealed contractors intentionally deceived the government for monetary gain. The success of both investigations relied
heavily on individuals reporting suspicious activity
to OSI and its law enforcement partners.
OSI Special Agent Tanner Collins emphasized
the “big picture” in terms of what results from fraud
investigations.
“There are measurable dollar savings, accidents
are prevented and lives preserved,” he said. “Taken
together, these things enhance our combat readiness
and increase the public’s confidence in the U.S. Air
Force.”
OSI provides briefings to educate base personnel
about fraud.
“We don’t expect everyone to know what constitutes fraud or how to identify it,” Valdez said. “We
are always looking for opportunities to give fraud
awareness briefings and to educate people in all
career fields about common fraud schemes.”
To request a fraud awareness briefing or to
report suspicious behavior, contact OSI 13 FIS
ECD at 0631-536-8341 or 489-8341, or by email at
afosi.13fis.ol-j@ogn.af.mil.Callers. Writers have the

Escape Plan (R) — Ray Breslin is the
world’s top authority on prison structural
security, who finds himself having to put
his skills to the test when he is framed for
a crime and sent up to a prison he helped
design. He must escape and figure out who
put him behind bars.
Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and
Sylvester Stallone.
Carrie (R) — Carrie White is a lonely
and awkward teen who is constantly bullied at school by her peers, and beaten at
home at the hands of her religious mother.
But Carrie has a secret: She’s been blessed
with the terrifying power of telekinesis; and
when her peers decide to pull a prank on
her at prom, they’ll soon learn a deadly lesson: If you play with fire, you get burned.
Starring Chloe Moretz and Julianne
Moore.
