Editor’s note: This is the fifth in a
six-part series about medical response
capabilities for deployed service
members from start to finish and the
various milestones for care and transportation of combat-wounded troops
throughout Afghanistan.
Finally, the wounded warrior is out
of Afghanistan. The troop is out of
harm’s way, but he still needs treatment before heading home. This is
when the staff of Landstuhl Regional
Medical Center plays a crucial role
in the troop’s medical transition from
downrange.
In some lucky cases this is the
troop’s final treatment, while others
will continue treatment stateside. In
either case, LRMC will serve as their
medical gateway.
LRMC is the largest U.S. military
hospital outside of the U.S. and is

The mil-to-mil training program allows Soldiers from the
21st TSC to partner with military
members from allied nations to
exchange training practices and
operating procedures. The goal of
the training was to familiarize the
Bulgarians with U.S. procedures
for future combined operations,
said Spc. Rachael L. Chiarelli,
squad leader assigned to the 557th
Med. Co.

What the heck is an AGOW?
COMMENTARY
by Col. Joe McFall
435th Air Ground Operations Wing commander
“What the heck is an AGOW?” I have heard
that question more than once during my seven
months as the commander. In fact, when I found
out I was getting this assignment, I asked the
same question.
If you don’t know what the AGOW is, don’t
feel bad. There are only two in the U.S. Air
Force, and they haven’t been around long. This
year marks the fifth anniversary of the 435th
AGOW here in Europe and the 93rd AGOW
based at Moody Air Force Base, Ga. However,
even the other AGOW looks nothing like ours.
So, with that in mind, let’s talk about the past,
present and future of this unique organization.
AGOW stands for Air Ground Operations
Wing. In 2009, when the 435th Air Base Wing
transferred mission support operations to the
host 86th Airlift Wing, the 435th AGOW was
formed. This new organization brought together
a diverse set of groups and squadrons, many of
which directly reported to U.S. Air Forces in
Europe and Air Forces Africa and the 3rd AF.
The reasoning behind the origins of the wing is
less than clear. Our official history states: “We
received a unique mix of battlefield Airmen from
different specialties: tactical air control parties
and air liaison officers, airborne-qualified airfield
defenders, civil engineering construction crews,
combat and theater communications specialists,
and battlefield weathermen.”
Our current historian takes a bit of a differTRAINING, from Page 1
most of our medics do,” Chiarelli said. “Our goal here is not
to teach them how to perform these tasks but to show them
how U.S. Soldiers perform them, so we can work together
in future operations.”
In the first two days of training, the Soldiers from the
557th Med. Co. demonstrated the use of U.S. tourniquets
to stop bleeding, the use of U.S. bandages, the procedure for performing a needle-chest decompression, how
to call for medical evacuation and how to move a casualty. The Bulgarian soldiers practiced each procedure on a
medical dummy. The initial portion of training concluded
with a trip to the 421st MMB training building, The Viper
Pit.
“The Viper Pit is a building where we can conduct indoor combat lifesaver lanes at a fast-paced combat speed,”
The Kaiserslautern American is published by
AdvantiPro GmbH, Kaiserslautern, Germany, a private
firm in no way connected with the Department of the
Air Force or the Department of the Army, under exclusive contract with the 86th Airlift Wing.
This commercial enterprise newspaper is an authorized publication for members of the military services
overseas.
Contents of the KA are not necessarily the official view of, or endorsed by, the U.S. government,
Department of Defense or Department of the Air Force.
The appearance of advertising in this publication,
ent slant by observing that the original concept
behind an AGOW was to focus on the close-air
support mission. Our sister wing at Moody is
structured in this manner: “provid(ing) … ground
combat forces capable of integrating air and space
power into the ground scheme of maneuver.”
While we in the 435th also gained USAFEAFAFRICA’s only operational TACPs and battlefield weathermen, this was just the tip of the
iceberg. Realistically, I think it is fair to say
the wing brought together all of the operational
missions in the command that didn’t already fit
under a traditional wing structure.
Presently, our organization consists of an Air
& Space Communications Group, an Air Support
Operations Group, and a Contingency Response
Group, headquartered at Ramstein, with geographically separated units at seven locations
across Germany and Italy. Our communications
professionals provide expeditionary communications; theater command and control, intelligence,
surveillance and reconnaissance system administration; engineering and installation of communications systems; and theater airfield maintenance.
Our ASOG warriors integrate air, space and
weather capabilities into the U.S. Army Europe
scheme of maneuver, as well as provide all operational weather support from Lajes, Portugal,
to the Middle East and the North Pole to South
Africa. Our CRG Airmen provide expeditionary airfield operations; capstone pre-deployment
training to defenders; civil engineers and force
supporters; theater construction and mobile aircraft arresting system support; and the com-
mand’s only professional air advisers branch.
Like me, you are probably saying to yourself,
“That is a lot of diverse stuff,” and you are right.
However, our Airmen make it look easy. In the
last six months, across 36 countries, four combatant commands and numerous named operations and exercises, they have delivered each and
every time. We have cool toys and cool missions,
but it is our cool Airmen who get the job done
and will keep getting it done in the future.
Hmmm. The future. What’s in store for the
AGOW? Certainly, diverse missions, diverse
locations and diverse customers fill our crystal
ball. However, we also see one common theme
that unifies this wing — the airfield. A couple of
months ago, when the commander of USAFEAFAFRICA visited the AGOW, he made a comment that the airfield is a weapons system. That
statement resonates with us as different pieces
and parts of this wing have unique capabilities to
employ the “airfield” at a time and place of the
warfighter’s choosing. Airfield systems and C2
— airfield operations, sustainment, construction
and repair, airfield force and resource protection
— direct airpower from the airfield. It’s all here
in one wing — the ability to deploy an “airfield
on demand.”
So, there you go. In 500 to 700 words, you got
the past, present and future of the 435th AGOW.
I close by saying, “Happy birthday, AGOW!” As
the wing’s motto states, you have been, are and
will be “First to the Fight, Lethal and Light,”
ensuring this command stays “Forward, Ready,
Now!”
said Pfc. Travis W. Sinfellow, combat medic with the 557th
Med. Co. “Here we can demonstrate how to provide care
to our casualty under stress while maneuvering around
obstacles. It shows how we may conduct an operation when
deployed.”
The final two days of the visit consisted of training with
different aircraft for medical evacuation. The Bulgarian delegation observed and participated in a simulated evacuation
using a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter in Landstuhl Feb. 12.
They also trained with members of the Air Force on a C-130
Super Hercules Feb. 13 on Ramstein.
The Bulgarian medical soldiers departed Germany Feb.
14 and all hailed the visit as a resounding success.
“This training was very thorough and interesting for us,”
said Bulgarian Sgt. Maj. Teodora Kodzhabasheva. “In the
future if our countries work together in operations, it will be
easier to communicate and understand what is happening.”

INJURY, from Page 1
known for its care of America’s warriors. Whether from Afghanistan, Iraq,
Africa, Europe or little known remote
sites, military personnel receive world
class quality care here.
“A lot of our patients are delivered
from the reach missions coming from
Afghanistan,” said DeeDee Price,
LRMC intensive care unit clinical
staff nurse. “After the patients land on
Ramstein Air Base they are transported to LRMC, where they will receive
treatment or surgery within 24 hours.”
Price has been a nurse at LRMC
for many years and has witnessed
the hospital at its peak in 2006 to the
steady decrease in combat operations
and injured troops.
“During the Iraq War we would
see burn patients, and then when we
transferred toward Afghanistan the
focus was on amputees,” Price said.
“Fortunately, we have seen a decrease
in patients coming over from the
reach missions.”
If the patient’s injury is devastating,
the hospital works with the service
member’s department to fly their family members to LRMC.
“I take care of all my patients as if
they were my son or daughter,” Price
said. “It makes you feel good in your
heart that you can help them get better
and home to their family.”
The treatment and care that Price
and the LRMC staff provide help get
wounded warriors like U.S. Army Sgt.
Karl Berlinger back home.
Berlinger was deployed to Kandahar
Air Field as a scout. His unit was on
its way back to the airfield after a
perimeter patrol when they got hit by
an improvised explosive device. The
IED blew the door inward slamming

across Berlinger’s left foot.
“We took a hard hit, almost everyone had some sort of injury from the
blast,” Berlinger said.
After a brief stay at Bagram Airfield
he was flown to LRMC on a C-17
Globemaster III reach mission. Within
one hour at the hospital he was getting
treatment for his wounds.
“I was only there for a short time,
and they did everything for me all in the
same day,” he said. “I appreciate how
smooth they have made this transition
for me back to the civilian world.”
Berlinger’s wife had just given
birth to their second child when he left
for Afghanistan. His family went to
the states during his deployment but
with help from his unit and the staff
at LRMC, they will be in Germany to
welcome him home.
“When I get home I’m going to hold
my wife and my daughter, even with my
crutches,” he said jokingly. “I also can’t
wait to hold my newborn. She was so
tiny when I left and, looking at all the
pictures my wife sent, the baby looks
like she has grown into a big kid.”
Because of the excellent care and
professionalism of the LRMC staff,
Berlinger will be home in a couple of days. After hearing the news,
Berlinger became ecstatic and began
thanking the staff.
“I told them ‘thank you’ for taking
care of me and getting me better, so I
can go back home soon and be with
my family,” Berlinger said.
Innovator of the Month
INNOVATOR: Master Sgt. Andrew Graham, Fuels Information Service Center section chief
UNIT: 86th Logistics Readiness Squadron
ACTION: Graham reduced manpower requirements by 37
percent by combining the fuels support equipment and
prevention maintenance teams. He doubled available maintenance manpower within the flight and redesigned and
cut inspection and service times by 50 percent. He also increased the percentage of mission capable fuels vehicles
from 88 to 94 percent. Graham helps lead the way in the Air
Force’s fourth largest defense fuel support point by not only
being an innovator himself, but by helping teach other fuels
Airmen to be leaders in innovation themselves.

21st OWS keeps eyes on skies
Story and photo by Airman Dymekre Allen
A bright, sunny day at work can turn chaotic in
an instant with strong winds that can tip vehicles,
hail and lightning powerful enough to damage large
aircraft.
The only hope of protecting cargo, aircraft and
lives rides on the eyes of the watchmen. They
are the men and women of the 21st Operational
Weather Squadron who tirelessly survey the skies
to give foresight hours in advance to prevent major
weather damage.
The 21st OWS provides commanders and operators with accurate and timely situational awareness
in support of the U.S. Air Force, joint and combined
operations across U.S. European Command and
U.S. Africa Command. They are also responsible
for round-the-clock weather support across four
major locations covering the globe.
“We keep our eyes on the storms,” said Staff
Sgt. Justin Poston, 21st OWS regional forecast
supervisor. “It’s a very challenging and detail oriented career field, because weather is unpredictable, so we need to be patient to be able to push out
adequate information in order to keep the communities safe.”
The OWS is a unique squadron with a Naval
Aviation Forecast Detachment embedded to provide forecast support to the numerous naval bases
in theater.
“Working alongside the Air Force gives us a larger
spectrum of knowledge,” said Petty Officer 1st Class
Larry Pacquer, 21st OWS regional forecast supervisor. “By working in a joint environment and coming

ensure the safety of cargo, aircraft and lives.
from different training backgrounds, we have the
ability to put multiple eyes on a single problem to see
what actions are best for the mission.”
In an emergency situation the OWS has the capability to provide weather warnings, notify local
communities and alert airfields in a timely manner.
“In bad weather we give those in danger a
30-hour notice,” Poston said. “The faster we collect
data and send it out, the more potential we have to
save lives.”
Whether it’s open sky missions or combat oper-
ations, the OWS is critical in maintaining the
effectiveness of the global Air Force mission.
Their support is visible Air Force-wide and
helps keep more than 50 thousand personnel
informed of expected weather conditions and aid
in protecting more than 30 billion dollars worth of
DOD assets.
These weather wizards keep an owl’s eye on
the sky, continuously watching and waiting for the
smallest inkling of a storm to provide global outreach and support to all those in need.

Experienced Airmen wanted: Continue your career in the AF Reserve
by Master Sgt. Shawn J. Jones
Air Force Reserve Command
Recruiting Service
F
orce management programs
will push thousands of activeduty Airmen out of their jobs,
but opportunities exist in the
Air Force Reserve for Airmen
who don’t want to hang up their uniforms for good.
“Force management will cost many
Airmen their jobs, but not necessarily their careers,” said Col. Steve
Fulaytar, Air Force Reserve director
of recruiting. “They can continue their
service as Citizen Airmen.”
Reserve service provides a benefits package highlighted by programs
familiar to most Airmen such as tuition
assistance, Post 9-11 G.I. Bill trans-
ferability options, and the opportunity
to work toward a military retirement
plan. Additionally, low-cost healthcare insurance is available to reservists at significantly lower rates than
comparable plans, and enlistment
bonuses are available for some career
fields at specific duty locations.
Airmen transitioning into the
Reserve stand to receive many
benefits, but they also provide
plenty of benefits themselves. New
Citizen Airmen who have active-duty
experience are valuable to Reserve
units, because they are missionready.
“When an active-duty Airman
decides to continue their career in
the Reserve, everyone wins,” Fulaytar
said. “The Airman retains the benefits of continued service, the Reserve
gains an Airman who can contribute
immediately and the regular Air Force
has one less Airman that must be
involuntarily separated.”
One key difference between active
and Reserve service is that Citizen
Airmen won’t have to relocate to
suit the needs of the Air Force. Many
reservists spend the majority of their
career with one unit and only agree to
a permanent change of station when
the timing is right for them.
Airmen who are ready to separate
don’t have to wait until their original enlistment or commission obligation is complete. The Palace Chase
program enables Airmen to separate from their active enlistment or
commission as long as they continue
their service with the Reserve component.
Airmen should be aware; the
recruiting process is somewhat different from when they joined the
active-duty Air Force. Once Airmen
are deemed eligible for Reserve service, they must work with an in-service recruiter to locate a duty location
and position that meets their needs.
“Our Reserve units love fully qualified Airmen who can hit the ground
running,” Fulaytar said, “but finding
duty positions for new recruits takes
time, so they can help themselves by
contacting their in-service recruiter as
soon as possible.”
The in-service recruiter at Ramstein
is Master Sgt. Dominique Hogan. She
can be reached at 480-3940.

Joint airdrop in Greece:
Combined efforts key to success
Story and photos by
Staff Sgt. Kris Levasseur
ELEFSINA, Greece — In true Greek
fashion, a few select service members from
the KMC undertook a momentous task.
Though lacking the same herculean strength
outlined in Greek mythology, these Airmen
made up for it with sheer determination and the
will to succeed in their task — appropriately
named Stolen Cerberus, a two-week flight
training deployment to Elefsina, Greece, Feb.
2 to 14.
Matching the legend started by Hercules —
or Heracles in the original Greek translation
— Airmen and Soldiers from the Joint Airdrop
Inspection team set out on a seemingly simple
task that proved more daunting than originally
expected: provide the means to safely and
effectively drop cargo and paratroopers out of
a C-130J Super Hercules.
Due to several recent rainstorms, conditions
at the drop zones in Greece were extremely
muddy, which made it unsafe for jumpers and
difficult to recover dropped cargo.
“Because of the mud, there were a lot of
problems dropping on the zones,” said Tech.
Sgt. Andrew Holsenback, 86th Operations
Support Squadron wing weapons and tactics
flight chief. “Our job requires us to survey
each zone and ensure it is safe for use. We also
monitor conditions from the ground during
drops to make sure everything goes well.”
Holsenback added that even with the problems, the cooperation of our Greek partners
made the airdrop success during this mission
possible. They also dropped Greek equipment
and jumpers, and coordinated closely with
their counterparts in the Hellenic military.
“We’ve had a lot of interaction with the

Greeks during these two weeks, which
has been great,” he said. “They want
to learn from us, and we want to learn
from them, so having the opportunity
to get this type of hands-on experience has been amazing.”
The cooperation from the Greek
service members allowed U.S. and
Hellenic forces a chance to see airdrop operations in a new way. Chief
Warrant Officer 4 Orlando Villegas,
21st Theater Sustainment Command
airdrop adviser, said there were a lot
of differences in the way both nations
perform airdrops.
“We have been so involved with
each other’s operations during this
trip, which has been invaluable for the
U.S. and Greek forces,” he said. “It
allows both countries to see the differences and hopefully take some of
that knowledge to improve our cooperation in the future. It only makes us
better.”
He added that it was the combined
efforts during this mission that led to
its success.
Though not performing the 12
labors of Hercules, the JAI service
members met the challenges during
Stolen Cerberus with the sole mission
of honing their skills while increasing
their capability with their NATO partners in Greece. They accomplished
this task with flying colors, proving
not only that the airframe lives up to
the name of Hercules, but they are
worthy of the legend as well.

Band regional band journeyman. “We travel all
over representing our nations. It’s key that we show
humility among nations.”
The USAFE-AFAFRICA Brass Band is a large
symphonic ensemble comprised of 11 brass players, two percussionists and one vocalist from the
USAFE-AFAFRICA Band at Ramstein.
The bands bring the military tradition of brass
and percussion to a wide variety of different countries and cultural backgrounds without losing the
understanding.
“It’s a universal language,” said Master Sgt.
Steven Schaughency, USAFE-AFAFRICA Band
director of special projects and productions.
“When we are playing there is no language barrier,
because we are all reading the same thing. We all
understand it, and that allows us to play perfectly
together.”
In a large concert hall or at an outdoor festival,
the bands showcase a diverse repertoire of traditional classical artistry, well-known jazz, as well as
other favorites reflecting the group’s American and
Luxemburg roots.
For most of the members it is an honor to work
with musicians from around the world, because it
allows them to grow as musicians as well as a team.
“In the short time we’ve spent together, we have
already created a bond amongst one another,”
Schaughency said. “The uniform is the only thing
that sets us apart. If we all wore white shirts and
blue jeans you’d never know we are from two different countries.”
The two bands may have differences, but according to both sides they want the same outcome.
Senior Airman Matt Kirkpatrick, U.S. Air Forces in Europe and
Air Forces Africa Band member, plays his trumpet Feb. 10.
“We both want to create art that brings people together,” said Monique Bernotte, Luxemburg
Military Brass Band member. “There’s no segregation — no division in music. There is only the sound
of joint instruments playing in harmony for all.”
The bands use the international language of
music to foster cultural relations and promote international diplomacy wherever they perform.
“It’s a unique experience,” Bernotte said. “It’s a
combination of both sides using their instruments to
build unity throughout Europe.”

Airman 1st Class Enoch Wentland, 86th Maintenance Squadron crew
chief, scrubs the wing of a C-130J Super Hercules Feb. 10 on Ramstein.
What is an Air Force without a mission? What
is a mission without aircraft? And what is an aircraft without its maintainers?
Airmen from the 86th Maintenance Squadron
and the 86th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron
wash C-130J Super Hercules aircraft twice a
month to prevent corrosion and clear the aircraft
of any foreign object damage.
By keeping them clean, it ensures the aircraft
are capable and ready for any and all mission
operations.
“Keeping major structural components clean
helps improve the lifespan of aircraft thus keeping them in the air longer,” said Staff Sgt. Joshua
Schoerner, 86th MXS aerospace maintenance
craftsman. “Our mission is maintenance, and this
is one of our most important missions that tends
to be overlooked.”
Every C-130J Super Hercules on base is
washed every 180 days as a preventative measure
against the elements. For each of these washes,
the maintainers have a 10-man rotation per shift
that are allotted a 24-hour time period to wash,
scrub and re-grease the aircraft.
“What we do is important,” said Airman 1st
Class Enoch Wentland, 86th MXS crew chief.
“We check and wash every inch of the aircraft
and clean all the gears. This helps us identify any
damage that may have been missed.”
According to the maintainers, even with something as simple as washing the aircraft there are
many physical and chemical hazards that could
potentially endanger their safety.
“Safety is absolutely paramount,” Schoerner
said. “We brief our Airmen again and again, so
before they even begin to think about touching
the aircraft, they’re thinking of what the proper
equipment is and what they need to be aware of
when they are washing the C-130s.
“These chemicals can be dangerous,” he
added. “If it gets in your eyes or on your skin,
it can cause a lot of harm. That’s why we take it
one step at a time and take every precaution to
prevent making mistakes.”
Though sometimes overlooked, aircraft washing is a vital part of the Air Force mission. If the
aircraft were not washed they would begin to
corrode and cause damage, yielding it unsafe to
operate.
Schoerner said maintainers continue to conduct thorough checks and washes to extend the
effectiveness of the aircraft by years as well as
provide a good looking bird for the KMC.
Innovative leadership takes a creative thinker
by Lt. Col. Sheri Bennington
700th Contracting Squadron
commander
What is innovative leadership? Why
do we need innovative leaders? What
makes your leadership style (or skills)
innovative? Are you a creative, leftbrained military member surrounded
by right-brained, rule-oriented, critical thinkers? Leadership is needed in
a variety of aspects. Traditional leftbrained (think liberal arts types) and
traditional right-brained people (think
science and math) are both needed in
the leadership arena, but for all you
liberal arts, creative thinkers, your
time to excel in our Air Force is now.
How many times have you heard
“think outside the box” but have felt
there was limited encouragement
from your supervisors? Our current
Air Force leadership and more specifically your wing leadership are
focused on listening to all Airmen.
Our top AF leaders have made transformation in your Air Force a top priority by encouraging outside-the-box
thinking and providing venues to put
your suggestions for process improvements, task elimination, new ideas —
you name it — into action. At no other
time in my 20 years of active service
do I remember the ability to really
think about something and then being
able to follow through with a proposal
to respectfully eliminate “stuff” that
is non-value added.
Let me repeat this message in a
different way: In my more than 20
years in the Air Force, there has never
been a time when new ideas and tech-
niques were more welcomed. From
the chief of staff of the Air Force all
the way to first-line supervisors, leaders are primed to come up with and/
or solicit new ideas, new processes
and new ways of doing things, which
could lead to cost savings for your
Air Force with the emphasis on cost
savings. No longer can we, the Air
Force, continue to do things “the way
they’ve always been done.” Leaders at
all levels should demand and support

2014 Military Saves Campaign
by Sara Miller
Ramstein Airman & Family Readiness Center
T
he Ramstein Airman & Family Readiness
Center is gearing up for the 2014 Military
Saves Campaign. The Department of
Defense has designated Monday as the start of
Military Saves Week. As part of the larger nationwide America Saves Campaign, Military Saves
is conducted in cooperation with the Consumer
Federation of America.
While the Military Saves Campaign is an ongoing effort throughout the year, Military Saves Week
is an opportunity for the entire military community
to come together for a common goal. With the help
of local resources, including military banks and
credit unions, the focus is on the financial readiness of military members and families to help them
reduce debt and save money. Military Saves Week
provides opportunities to learn practical personal
financial planning and management skills. This
year’s Military Saves Week theme is “Set a Goal.
Make a Plan. Save Automatically.”
The A&FRC will be kicking off Military Saves
Week Tuesday with their annual Financial Fair at
the Kaiserslautern Military Community Center.
“This year we’re hoping to raise the awareness of the importance of reviewing your finances,
leadership, from page 13
creative ideas and productive
changes due to challenges
with our Air Force budget
and personnel reductions we
will face over the next five
years.
All leaders at all levels must
create and foster a culture of
innovative thinking starting at
their lowest levels. There has
to be “buy-in” from all levels.
Supervisors must be willing
deciding what you want to save for and setting up
a system that will allow you to save automatically.
Our Financial Fair is a great opportunity for service
members and their families to get their financial
questions answered by the financial experts who
will be available,” said Heidi Goodbar, A&FRC
personal financial readiness program manager.
Goodbar is also very excited to announce that
additional personal financial counselors will be
available throughout the campaign for individual
financial consultations.

Supervisors must seek venues
to shed light on new ideas at
the next level of supervision,
so these great ideas come to
life and ultimately get enough
attention at the right level for
action to be taken. Key to
this is listening to and acting
upon the input. If, as leaders,
we continue to solicit input,
but never act upon it, our
young, newest Airmen will
cease to respect our decisionmaking (aka leadership) abilities.

must ask ourselves, “Can it
be done better?” Can we quit
doing it? Can it be accomplished in a new/different
way? Within your area of
control, do you insist upon an
atmosphere that fosters creativity and encourages innovative thoughts? That rewards
new ideas? Even within the
most mundane and regulatory-controlled careers/job
series (where there is little
to no margin for error —
think missile control officer
or a nuclear plant controller), there are ways to make
your innovation known and
adopted. Said a different way,
don’t be afraid, because innovative leadership is now in
season. Take the time to think
about what kind of innovation you can contribute or
facilitate for your Air Force.
Now is the time to think

Electronic cigarette use increasing among Airmen
by Air Force Medical Support Agency
Health Promotions
FALLs church, Va. — Electronic cigarette
use is becoming a popular alternative to traditional
cigarettes, but the upward trend is becoming a concern for health care providers.
The battery-operated products, known as ecigarettes, are designed to deliver nicotine, flavor
and other chemicals as a vapor that is inhaled by the
user. According to data from the 2011 Department
of Defense Survey of Health Related Behaviors,
e-cigarettes have been tried by 5 percent of Airmen,
and 2.2 percent of Airmen have used e-cigarettes in
the past year.
“Airmen are using e-cigarettes at a level comparable to the civilian adult population. But e-cigarette
use is rapidly growing among youths and have been
used by 10 percent of high school students,” said
Col. (Dr.) John Oh, chief of health promotion, Air
Force Medical Support Agency, citing data from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
While e-cigarettes have been advertised as a
“safer” alternative to conventional cigarettes, studies have found potentially harmful ingredients are
contained in the product, including nitrosamines,
diethylene glycol and animal carcinogens. Oh cautioned Airmen against using e-cigarettes as a substitute for smoking.
“Not enough is known about the long-term safety
of e-cigarettes to definitely state that they are safe,”
he said.
The Food and Drug Administration categorizes
e-cigarettes as a tobacco product. Regulatory guidance, however, is pending, so e-cigarettes are marketed without any of the restrictions of conventional
cigarettes, and they may be sold to minors, advertised widely and marketed without warning labels.
“There is a real concern that unfettered access
to and marketing of e-cigarettes will create a generation of youths hooked on nicotine, and this trend
could lead to greater traditional cigarette or other
smokeless tobacco use,” Oh said.
Air Force Instruction 40-102, Tobacco Use,
establishes a tobacco policy in the Air Force and
explicitly includes e-cigarettes under the definition
of tobacco, subjecting the product to all the restrictions implemented for cigarettes, cigars and smokeless tobacco. The Air Force is the first service to
establish an e-cigarette policy.
Although e-cigarettes have passionate devotees,
the Air Force position is to treat e-cigarettes as any
other tobacco product.
Oh said future changes to policy will be made
based on the scientific evidence and in consultation
with subject matter experts, both within and outside
the Department of Defense.

Mentors make their mark
Story and photo by Sara Pavich
On a sunny Tuesday at the Ramstein Golf
Course, female Airmen of all ranks and ages
gathered for a discussion. In a crowded room,
women spoke and listened, relying on each
other’s knowledge in an effort to learn how to
tackle everyday challenges.
This discussion was one of the increasingly
popular events related to Let’s Connect, a program dedicated to establishing mentorship ties
between women in the Air Force. The forum is
designed to confront issues unique to women
balancing a military career and a personal life
at home. It is the brainchild of Chief Master
Sgt. JoAnne Bass, 86th Operations Group
superintendent, who recognized the need
to strengthen connections between female
Airmen after reflecting on her own experiences
as a wife, mother and Airman.
“We have set standards, and those don’t change
based on whether you’re a female or not,” Bass
said. “We still have a responsibility to do everything every other Airman has to do. However, as
female Airmen, in particular, it can be challenging to balance all of it, so if we can help through
our experiences, we’ve done our job.”
Let’s Connect has three separate forums,
each working toward the larger goal of progressing professional lives through mentorship. In addition to the panel discussions
attended by all ranks of Airmen, there is a
program dedicated to connecting with female
Airmen living in the dorms and a another program briefing at the First Term Airman Center
on Ramstein.
In Tuesday’s seminar, four female panelists
spoke about the importance of physical health
and wellness. The discussion began with the
assurance that any subject related to the topic
Second Lt. Magin Day, U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air
Forces Africa watch officer, listens to a Let’s Connect seminar attendee share her experiences with staying physically fit while overcoming an injury. Airmen of all ranks
attended the seminar Feb. 11 on Ramstein to discuss the
importance of physical health in professional life.
was safe to speak about without judgment.
Airmen shared concerns, thoughts, problems
and suggestions openly with one another.
The seminar was the first of four of the
“New Year, New You” topic meant to explore
the Four Pillars of Resiliency with female
Airmen, the first of which is the “physical pillar.” Panelists discussed healthy exercise and
nutrition habits that could lead to greater success in the workplace. Each month a new topic
is carefully chosen for exploration in regards
to the relevant role it plays in the careers of
every Airman.
“Our No. 1 goal is to develop Airmen professionally,” Bass said. “And, if they get some ‘personal’ development out of it, that’s great too.”
While the topics that are discussed are generally relevant to both men and women, many
can be difficult to discuss with someone of the
opposite gender.
“They touched on a lot of topics I wanted
to ask questions about,” said Airman 1st Class

OSB or eSERB coming up? Better check ‘My Board File’
by Sgt. Michael Reinsch
U.S. Army Europe Public Affairs
WIESBADEN, Germany — Captains and
majors affected by the upcoming Officer Separation
Boards and enhanced Selective Early Retirement
Boards need to review and certify their records
using the “My Board File” tool on the Human
Resources Command website.
Across U.S. Army Europe, there are 575 majors
and captains who are subject to the upcoming
boards, which will look at captains in year groups
’06 through ’08 and majors in year groups ’99
through ’03.
The captains’ boards will meet from March 4
through 20, and the majors’ boards will meet from
April 22 through May 13.
The “My Board File” tool allows officers who
will be considered by the upcoming boards to
review and certify board documents.
The selection board will also see this file, which
includes:
• The officer’s official photo
• Their Officer Record Brief
• Documents from the performance section of
the Official Military Personnel File
If there are errors or missing documents in the
“My Board File,” officers will need to correct those
records in their official files for their “My Board
File” to be updated.
If you need to correct your records, your S1 is
your primary point of contact. Your branch assignment officer can also assist if you need to update
your OMPF or ORB.
In the last 10 to 12 years, file reviews indicate many personnel records have not received
regular scrutiny for accuracy and completeness.
Leaders who have officers subject to the boards
should engage these officers to ensure that they
understand the importance and necessity of this
review.

Men, beware of women Thursday!
by Petra Lessoing
Thursday is one of the highlights of
the Fasching season.
“Altweiberfasching,” or old women’s Fasching, is a day specifically
reserved for females and a day when
men should beware of women.
Altweiberfasching is always
observed the Thursday before Rose
Monday. Traditionally, females dress
as old women or witches. Women
meet in the morning, walk down the
streets, sing songs and, in some towns,
they storm the town halls. The women
constantly look for victims — men
wearing ties. As soon as they see a
man with a tie — on the street, in a
store, in an office — they get out a
pair of scissors and “attack” the man,
cutting off his tie.
Depending on the area in which the
tie cutting is performed, the woman
might ask the man to either buy her
a drink or lose the tie, or she cuts the
tie and kisses the man. Women are
allowed to act crazy that day and have
fun without their “better halves.”
The tradition of women participating in Fasching goes back to the
15th century when, during sermons,
priests would complain about the
exchange of clothes between women
and men. In 1558, the city council of
Überlingen at Lake Constance was
forced to prohibit women’s Fasching
celebrations in female taverns and
dormitories because women would
behave “indecently.” But the women
referred to their female rights, such as
drinking and dancing during specific
Fasching days.
Altweiberfasching also marks the
status of women in the 15th and 16th
centuries. During this time, wives had
well-defined rights, since they were
the budget keepers. During the crazy
season, they sat in judgment of other
women who didn’t clean the house
or didn’t take care of the children.
Later, in several towns in Southern
Germany, it became customary to
sit in judgment of men. Women usually met in the conference rooms
of town halls, an in honor of this,
women today still “storm” town halls
on Altweiberfasching as a way to take
control and become fully liberated as
on no other day.
In the 17th century, in the Münstertal
valley in the Alsace area in France,
women walked through the streets with
a decorated billygoat, which symbolized fertility, and a horse carrying
two kegs of wine. Men weren’t even
allowed to observe this procedure from
their windows. If a man risked entering
a tavern where females celebrated, he
was captured or his hat was taken away
from him. Only by buying wine did he
get it back.
In Köln, which is one of
the main locations to celebrate
Altweiberfasching and street carnival, women started protesting against
the male government in the 1880s.
The three most important people of
Fasching in Köln — the prince, the
peasant and the virgin, who actually
is a man dressed like a woman —
officially open Köln’s street carnival.
During the opening session, the lord
mayor calls out the official carnival
shout “Kölle Alaaf.” Now it’s up to
the women to start their hunt.
In Ramstein-Miesenbach, at 11:11
a.m. Thursday, women in disguise

will storm the Rathaus (town hall)
and capture men. They will take the
men outdoors and tie them to the
“Narrenbrunnen,” or fool’s fountain.
Then, the “Altweiber” will cut the
men’s ties and, for the fee of at least
€1.11, captives will be set free again.
Traditionally, women who cut ties
that day hang them up as trophies. And
men don’t always notice the attack on
time, because it’s not necessarily just
women in disguise who do it, but also
normally dressed females at work.
Ramstein-Miesenbach’s culture
center, Haus des Bürgers, will host
an Altweiber Fasching party at 8 p.m.
with the band Habachtlaer and DJ
Andy. Tickets cost €10.
The Altweiberfasching event in
Niederkrichen’s Westpfalzhalle will
begin at 8 p.m. Thursday.This year’s
motto is “Ällis im Wunderland.” The
band The Candies will perform. Doors
will open at 7 p.m. Tickets cost €10.
Another Altweiberfasching dance
party will start at 8 p.m. Thursday
in Erfenbach’s Kreuzsteinhalle. The
dance and party band Favorits will
perform. Tickets cost €10.
The Kaiserslautern Carnival
Club will start its event at 7 p.m.
at its club house, An der Kalause,
in Kaiserslautern (next to the
Gartenschau office).
Pay attention to your infant’s oral hygiene
by Tech. Sgt. Jessica McNabb
86th Dental Squadron
Glorious day! A baby is on the way. So much to
do and so little time to do it. There are checklists
for everything, so you should be good to go, right?
Make sure oral hygiene is on your little bundle of
joy’s checklist. That’s right. As soon as they get
those pearly whites, you need to be prepared to take
care of them.
More than 40 percent of children have cavities by
the time they reach kindergarten. Early childhood
cavities are 32 times more likely to occur in infants
who consume a high sugar diet and whose parents
have not been taught proper oral hygiene methods.
Cavities in baby teeth can affect children’s
growth, which result in significant pain and poten-
tially life-threatening infection, and diminish overall quality of life. Did you know cavities are considered a disease? They are a chronic, infectious and
transmissible disease that can easily be prevented
with proper oral health care.
Your family dentist has all of the information
you need, but here are some helpful hints to start
you off.
One thing most parents do not think about is the
transmission or passing of cavity-causing bacteria
between mother and baby or even between siblings.
Something so small as drinking from a sibling’s cup
or cleaning off a pacifier with your mouth can transfer the bacteria to the baby. Avoiding saliva-sharing
behaviors can help prevent early childhood cavities.
According to the American Academy of Pediatric
Dentistry, every baby should get a dental exam from
a dentist or qualified health care professional by
6 months of age. This initial assessment should
evaluate their risk of developing oral diseases of
soft and hard tissues, including a cavity-risk assessment, provide education on infant oral health, and
evaluate and optimize fluoride exposure.
Good oral hygiene techniques should start as
soon as you see that first baby tooth. Cleaning the
teeth as soon as they erupt with a soft toothbrush or
wash rag will help reduce bacteria buildup. Tooth
brushing should be performed for children by a
parent twice daily, using a soft toothbrush of ageappropriate size up to the age of at least 6.
Ramstein’s chief of pediatric dentistry, Col. John
Kersey, said he believes a good rule of thumb is
