But it doesn’t hurt that bad ...
Treat your ailments while serving
by Sgt. Chris Smith
Mountaineer staff
We all have known a “Profile Ranger” — a
Soldier who is consistently on profile for ailments
ranging from a stubbed toe to a cold. Unfortunately,
these few have given “being on profile” a bad name
when it is actually something that can be very beneficial for a Soldier.
The reason I bring this up is because there are
many Soldiers in this Army who refuse to go to sick
call because they think they can just deal with the
pain. This is the wrong answer. Even if they did go
on profile, many will begin to disregard it once the
injury is bearable.
To see the ramifications of this problem, let’s
take a look at an old sergeant we’ll call “Gimpy
Glenn.” He has served in the Army for nearly 20
years and has very rarely been on profile.
Gimpy Glenn has always been the Soldier who
could be counted on to conduct physical training,
despite his own injury. He has built up quite a reputation of being a GI Joe in the realm of toughness. The only problem is that when he goes home
at the end of the day he is like an elderly gentleman getting off his feet after a long day — at only
38 years old.
Most of us know of an older Soldier who is in
Gimpy Glenn’s shoes. The majority of these
Soldiers did not want to be classified as being
“broken” during their careers. They often avoided
medics unless the situation was dire and now feel
the ramifications.
We’ve all heard the doctor say to “stay off that
leg until it is better.” But then there’s the need for
promotion points and such, so we ignore the pain
until it becomes unbearable.
Let’s think about it now. I know we’re in a deadly job and have to be ready to operate in dire cir-
Why is it important for
a Soldier to take
advantage of medical
care for their ailments?
cumstances. Yet, when you are not in the extreme
circumstances of war, why cause harm to yourself?
Recruiters have long touted the medical benefits
of the Army; it’s one of the greatest advantages to the
service. It is easy for a Soldier to utilize the medical
system to help treat ailments.
If a Soldier thinks the medical
benefits in the Army are not all that
great, they should ask a family
member how much health care costs
on the civilian sector — they might
be surprised.
I myself had rarely been on profile aside from incidents that had
sent me to the emergency room.
Unfortunately, I am now nearing the
end of my time in the Army and am
finally dealing with my ailments.
One of my biggest problems is
soreness and weakness in my legs
and ankles. I had injured them previously, but instead of getting help and
seeking medical advice, I
“Soldiered” on. Yet, I know now that
if I had gotten the proper medical
care then I wouldn’t be dealing with
these problems now.
The recurrence of a problem
such as sore knees runs a good
chance of being mitigated if it is
attended to. The trip to sick call and
following your physical profile can
help. If the period on your profile is
almost over but your injury isn’t
fully healed, return to sick call and
have a doctor extend it.
We all would love to be that
older person who can do the same
“Sick call is a good
thing to get problems
checked out, but it
is often taken
advantage of.”

Bush applauds ‘heroic’ Iraqi constitution efforts
by Kathleen Rhem
American Forces Press Service
President George W. Bush lauded “the heroic
work” of the Iraqi constitutional committee after
Iraqi officials announced Monday that the committee was granted a seven-day extension to agree on
terms of a draft constitution.
The Iraqi Transitional Administrative Law had
set a Monday deadline for the 275-member
National Assembly to approve a draft constitution.
Shortly before the deadline, the assembly
approved the one-week extension. The original
law that approved the deadline allowed for up to a
six-month extension.
In a statement Monday, Bush said the negotiators’ efforts “are a tribute to democracy and an example that difficult problems can be solved peacefully
through negotiation and dialogue.
“We wish the Iraqi leaders and the Iraqi people
well as the negotiators complete the constitutional
drafting process,” Bush said.
In a State Department briefing Monday,
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said U.S. officials are confident the Iraqis will complete the constitutional process.
“Iraqis have continued to demonstrate their commitment to a new Iraq based on the rule of law and
their desire for a common future,” Rice said. “We are
witnessing democracy at work in Iraq. The new constitution will be the most important document in the
history of the new Iraq.”
Issues holding up final agreement on a constitution include women’s rights and Kurdish autonomy, according to press reports. Rice said the
United States has made it clear that “modern Iraq
will be an Iraq in which women are recognized as
full and equal citizens,” but she refused to secondguess the Iraqi planners on their decisions. She
said the Iraqis are considering “all of the difficult
issues before them.
“We have to remember that this is an enormously
important document,” she said. “And what you have
here is a people who are trying to build a common
future after decades of tyranny.”
Rice stressed that drafting the constitution is
an Iraqi process, but added that the United States
has “been very involved with the Iraqis every
step of the way.”
She said she sees the Iraqis’ continued work
on the draft constitution as a positive sign.
“What that says is that they are really
committed to putting together a
document that they believe in, a
document that can be a foundation
for a free and democratic Iraq for all
Iraqis,” she said.
“They didn’t change the process. They didn’t
walk out of the process. They didn’t try to go
around the process,” she continued. “Instead they
have remained committed to a process to bring
this together for all Iraqis. And I think it’s pretty
impressive what they’ve achieved so far.”

New sexual assault reporting policy
by Beth Reece
Army News Service
Victims of sexual assault may now seek medical
care, counseling and support without triggering an
investigation.
A new Department of Defense policy for confidential, restricted reporting protects victims not ready
or willing to face the criminal investigation process,
but who need medical treatment and counseling.
“Although the department would prefer complete
reporting of sexual assaults to activate both victim services and accountability actions, we believe our first
priority needs to be for victims to be protected, to have
them treated with dignity and respect, and to receive
the medical treatment, care and counseling that they
deserve,” said David Chu, the undersecretary of
defense for policy and readiness.
To use the new restricted-reporting option, victims
should contact the sexual-assault response coordinator
at their local Army Community Service offices, their
healthcare providers or chaplains. Upon notification of
an assault, the SARC will assign a victim advocate to
guide the victim through treatment. Victims who pursue
official investigations through unrestricted reporting
will also be paired with victim advocates.
Advocates provide information on restricted
reporting versus unrestricted reporting, thus helping
victims make more informed decisions about participating in an investigation.
“The advocate is an outsider, someone outside of
the victim’s organization, who will sit down and discuss options with the victim. Although we encourage
victims to report as we discuss their options, we do
not force them to report. This is something we take
very seriously,” said Col. Paris Mack, chief of
Human Factors Division, Human Resources and
Policy Directorate.
Leaders hope that allowing confidentiality will
give victims confidence that their commands care
about their needs and that appropriate agencies will
conduct fair investigations.
The new policy will help commanders discover
how frequently sexual assault occurs in their units, as
SARCs must notify them of incidents within their
commands. Commanders will not learn details that
could identify victims, but will receive enough infor-
mation to enhance training and prevent threats to the
health or safety of others.
The former policy required victims who sought
medical help and counseling to also endure an official investigation. While this led to many victims
going without treatment, it also left leaders in the
dark about how frequently sexual assaults occurred
within their ranks.
The policy memorandum was released March 16,
but did not become effective until June 16 to allow
specialized training for commanders, senior enlisted
advisers, investigators, healthcare providers and others
involved in responding to sexual assault.
DOD defines sexual assault as “intentional sexual
contact, characterized by use of force, physical threat
or abuse of authority, or when the victim does not or
cannot consent.
“Sexual assault includes rape, nonconsensual
sodomy (oral or anal sex), indecent assault (unwanted,
inappropriate sexual contact or fondling), or
attempts to commit these acts. Sexual assault can
occur without regard to gender or spousal relationship or age of victim.”

3rd ACR NCO Academy develops future Iraqi leaders
by Sgt. 1st Class Donald Sparks
3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment
Public Affairs Office
AL KISIK, Iraq — The U.S.
Army Noncommissioned Officer
Corps is known by the rest of the
world as the “backbone” of the Army
and ever since there has been an
Army, NCOs have trained, led and
cared for Soldiers.
In an effort to assist the Iraqi
army to develop its NCO Corps,
the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment
stood up an NCO Academy at
Al Kisik and began its first class
July 16 with more than 50
students attending.
According to Sgt. Maj. Rodney
Placzek, commandant, Brave Rifles
Academy — Al Kisik, the mission
of the school is to help develop
Iraqi NCOs to be capable of
leading, training and motivating its
own soldiers.
“What we’re trying to do here is
develop the middle management part
of their army,” Placzek said. “The
toughest thing we’re facing is trying
to teach them what we, as an Army,
take for granted — for example
something as simple as putting
together a wall locker display.”
Giving an example, Placzek
mentioned if a group of U.S.
Soldiers who’d been through basic
training were given the task to prepare for a room inspection, “You can
pretty much bet everything will be
organized, neat and to a standard.”
“From the first inspection I had
with them and walking through their
rooms, I said, ‘Wow, these guys have
no idea what a standard is for barracks,’” Placzek said. “And taking
that mentality of how they think and
try to transform that to a constant
mentality of leadership is what we’re
facing here.”
The 23-day course, taught in
a small-group environment, is
described by the instructors as a
Primary Leadership Development
Course on “steroids,” with students
receiving instruction on more than
40 topics such as duties and responsibilities of an NCO, dismounted

Military
Lautenberg Amendment ...
Domestic violence affects Soldiers’ careers
by Sgt. Chris Smith
Mountaineer staff
“Don’t beat your wife.” We’ve
all heard this at a weekend safety
briefing, and the consequences for
Soldiers can be heftier than just an
Article 15; their career could be
diminished as well.
The Gun Control Act of 1968
was modified to include the
Lautenberg Amendment as of Sept.
30, 1996, said Master Sgt. Gregory
Sandell, operations sergeant,
Provost Marshal’s Office. The
amendment makes it a felony for
those convicted of even a misdemeanor offense of domestic
violence to ship, transport, possess,
or receive firearms or ammunition.
Members of the military are not
excluded from the amendment
even when involved in official duties.
“I don’t think that our
community, that the
Soldiers, know about the
amendment,” said Sandell.
“We just want to get it
out there so everybody is
aware of it, to include commanders.”
The application of the amendment to Soldiers is outlined in
Field Manual 7-21.13. The manual
explains the ramif ications a
Soldier will face in chapters 3-195
through 3-200.
The amendment also makes it a
felony for anyone to sell or issue a
firearm or ammunition to a person
with a previously mentioned
conviction,
said Sandell.
Military
personnel,
such as
comman-
R E A S O N
ders and sergeants, are included in
this as well.
If Soldiers feel they may have a
qualifying conviction, they will
need to contact the Judge Advocate
General office on post, not the military police, for more information.
“I don’t have all the answers and
neither does individual barracks
lawyers and all that stuff,” said
Sandell. “They need to seek
counsel and make sure
in fact they do
fall into that
category.
Then, if
they do,
they’ll be
able to
advise
them on
what they
need to do
in the
future.”
Soldiers
who fall
under the
amendment
N U M B E R
will be affected by it as they will
become nondeployable — they
won’t be able to carry a weapon.
Yet, Sandell said that under
Department of Defense policy,
Soldiers can still operate some
military weapons systems.
“The prohibitions do not preclude a Soldier from operating
major weapons systems or crewserved weapons, such as tanks, missiles and aircraft,” states Chapter
3-196, FM 7-21.13.
Those in violation of the
Lautenberg Amendment face a
felony conviction if they are caught
in violation of it. Sandell said that
no definitive penalties could be
noted, as the outcome
of such charges is different in
every situation.
Sandell said that Soldiers need
to observe the amendment, “if you
believe that you have a misdemeanor conviction of one of these
offenses or believe it might fall
under this category, then the Soldier
and unit commander need to seek
legal counsel, that’s the first thing.”

movement formations and techniques, universal
human rights and preparing warning and operations orders.
With “positive stress” conditions similar to
PLDC, the students are up before sunrise conducting physical fitness training, performing
barracks maintenance before breakfast and are
“encouraged” to move in an expedient manner
everywhere they go.
There are six instructors from 3rd ACR,
four sergeants first class and two staff
sergeants, who were selected from throughout
the regiment to teach and mentor the students.
“They’re getting, in 23 days, what we go
through in basic training, advanced individual
training, PLDC and probably a little bit of
BNCOC (Basic Noncommissioned Officers
Course),” said Staff Sgt. Dennis Cronin,
instructor, Brave Rifles Academy — Al Kisik.
Every day the students recite their NCO
Creed, created by the instructors, and give their
individual perspective on what they think an
NCO should be, know and do. Also the academy features an honor code for the students to
adhere to during the course.
Despite course materials comprised primarily from Noncommissioned Officer Education
Schools and various Army training manuals,
Placzek doesn’t want to give the impression that
the academy is “Americanizing” the Iraqi army.
“I constantly remind my instructors that this
is for the Iraqi army; we’re not trying to make
them United States citizens,” Placzek said.
“We’re not trying to make them U.S. Army
Soldiers; we’re just trying to get them to develop their systems of leadership with just the
basic principles of how to get things done.”
The program of instruction has not been
without challenges for the instructors. Once
they started teaching and began to see what the
Military
Iraqi soldiers understood, nearly 40 percent of
the POI was changed.
However, the biggest challenge for the
instructors was teaching through an interpreter.
The interpreters share the platform alongside
the instructors and translate the course material
to the students.
“The language barrier is hard and sometimes the interpreter doesn’t know the right
word for what we’re trying to convey during
instruction,” said Cronin.
Initially the students were apprehensive
of the course. The Iraqi army of the past was
officer-centric so NCOs were never put in a
position of authority or given any responsibility for leadership.
Placzek realized right from the start he
had to instill pride in the students and to
impress upon them the importance of their
title as NCOs.
“This academy, from the word ‘go,’ was
done completely by NCOs,” Placzek said. “All
the classes were written by NCOs. Everything
they see all around them was put together by
NCOs and every class will be taught by NCOs.
They needed to know that.”
After the first week of the course it was
evident the students were soaking up their newfound knowledge; so much so they were telling
their fellow comrades and family members
about the classes.
“Once they found out what we were teaching
and what the students were starting to learn
here, the division commander, Gen. Kursheed
himself came to the academy,” Placzek said.
The visit from the 3rd Iraqi army Division
commander validated the importance of the
academy as he motivated the students with a
pep talk.
Kursheed was so impressed with what the
NCOs were learning that he decided he wanted

to send his officers to the academy as well. Placzek and
the general agreed that only one-third of the student
population will be officers.
The class will have an honor graduate for the student who achieves the highest academic score. More
importantly, students who display outstanding communication and leadership skills will be selected to remain
as instructors for the academy, according to Placzek.
His vision for the academy is for half the curriculum to be taught by Iraqi army instructors by the
third cycle. During Class 05-02, the Iraqi Soldiers
will get train-the-trainer training from U.S. Army
instructors and start learning how to teach some of
the instruction to prepare them for the platform.
“We’ve already selected a sergeant major to be the
commandant for the school,” Placzek said. “At the
end of the course, we have four leaders who meet
the qualities we’re looking for to be instructors.”
Nearing the end of the third week the students
have left their mark on the instructors by impressing
them with their desire to learn and their progression
in leadership skills and setting standards.
“After you taught them and they say ‘zain’
which means ‘okay, I got it’ and see they retain the
knowledge, it’s pretty gratifying,” said Staff Sgt.
Donald Harris, instructor. “The learning process has
been awesome. Their motivation level is always
high. You tell them to do something, and they’ll give
you everything they got — they try so hard to
please all the instructors.”
Completing his third day as class leader for
Class 05-01, Sgt. Baban Naseraldin Taha was
exhausted after preparing and leading his classmates
through a raid to capture and detain a suspected terrorist during a practical exercise.
Drenched in sweat, Taha explained how much
the course meant to him and his fellow NCOs.
“This is good for the U.S. Army to help instill
pride in the Iraqi army, particularly in helping Iraqi
NCOs,” Taha said. “We appreciate everything
they’ve done for us. The training here at this academy is very good for our army.”
The goal now for the Iraqi students is to take
back what they learned to their units.
“We have to continue to learn and the Iraqi army
needs this to keep training new Soldiers,” said Sgt.
Salah Youins Zuity. “The information we take from
this course will be valuable for the Iraqi army’s future
and every soldier needs to attend this school.”
Zuity added he was extremely happy with the
course and the chance to learn so much valuable
information on becoming a better leader.
By passing on the knowledge from the U.S.
Army’s 230 years of existence to the Iraqi army,
Cronin feels the academy’s mission will make a difference in the war against terrorism in Iraq.
“They listen to us because they consider us the
best Army in the world and to be trained by us is very
special to them,” Cronin said. “Just watching them
from day one to where they are now three weeks later
is something special. We need to teach them what we
know, teach them to fight for themselves and teach
them to develop standards.”
Long after he’s retired from the military some
day, Harris said his experiences training the Iraqi
army will be something he remembers for the rest of
his life. He already has an Iraqi helmet for his students to autograph as a token for him to treasure.
“I will never forget this,” Harris said. “I’ll look at
a map and point out Iraq and tell my kids I helped
build their NCO Corps. This is the most gratifying
thing I’ve done in the Army.”
A memorial service was held
Wednesday at Soldiers’ Memorial Chapel
to honor four Soldiers recently killed in Iraq.
Those honored were: Staff Sgt. Jason Montefering,
Sgt. Milton Monzon, Spc. Ernest Dallas and
Pfc. Ramon Villatora. All four were assigned
to the Troop K, 3rd Squadron,
3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment.

Suicide ...
Preventive resources
by Spc. Clint Stein
Mountaineer staff
Part of a Soldier’s training in the Army is learning how to kill another
human being when the time comes — but is there training for the Soldier to
help prevent him from killing himself?
With resources and programs in place to help identify and treat suicidal
or depressed Soldiers, the answer is yes.
During times of deployment or after redeployment, Soldiers may become
very stressed due to several matters weighing heavily on their minds. For the
most part, Soldiers who are deployed are trying to focus on a very serious
mission: stay alive and help keep their battle buddies alive as well. If
Soldiers have friends who are killed next to them in combat, it can be a traumatic experience for them to cope with. After experiencing a traumatic event
or conflict in battle, Chap. (Maj.) James Bixler, Family Life Chaplain, said
many times a combat stress team or a chaplain will conduct a debriefing.
Bixler said the reason for the debriefing is to get a sense of how the
Soldiers are reacting to the experience. The Soldiers are able to talk about
what happened and share their perspectives on what they experienced. “It
helps the Soldiers normalize the incident about what they saw or experienced,” said Bixler.
If a Soldier is identified by a member of the combat stress team or chaplain as being depressed or emotionally unstable, Bixler said the Soldier’s
commander will be notified and advised on what to do for him. If the
mental condition of the Soldier is severe, he will be sent to mental health
for evaluation and further treatment. But Bixler said in most instances the
Soldier is able to carry on about his duties.
Bixler said some of the best treatment or resources for Soldiers who are
depressed are their battle buddies. “Soldiers feel comfortable talking with
their friends.” If Soldiers are having problems, their buddies are more than
likely going to be the first ones to know about it, he said.
If Soldiers notice one of their friends is showing signs of depression or
think he or she may be suicidal, there are things they can do to help that
person seek help. Bixler said there is nothing wrong with asking the person
up front if he or she feels depressed or suicidal. Talking to the person and
reassuring them there are options and resources available to them can make
a difference between life and death.
Sometimes a Soldier may think he does not have an option because his
pride is getting in the way, said Bixler. “They (Soldiers) have fears it
(seeking mental help) might make them look incompetent or weak.” Bixler
continued by saying that shouldn’t be the case. If a Soldier is mentally
unstable and his unit is unaware of it, he may jeopardize his safety and the
safety of others. When Soldiers go in to raid a house, they want to know
they can count on the person next to them, said Bixler.
Living in any kind of combat zone during a time of war can be stressful, but there is also the added stress of being separated from family and
loved ones for a year or sometimes longer, too. When Soldiers are away
from the ones they love for long periods of time they may get depressed
and homesick.
Establishing friendships in a Soldier’s section can be very important for
the morale of a Soldier, said Bixler. “Having a buddy system is by far the
best resource for Soldiers.”
Remembering the things one enjoys in life can be another commodity.
“Now, Soldiers have portable DVD players and game machines during
deployments to help keep their morale up.” The living conditions
overseas have also improved since the last rotation, which helps with
Soldiers’ morale.
For added assurance, many units will request suicidal intervention
training that is offered by Army Community Service, which helps train
Soldiers, usually commanders and platoon sergeants, on how to identify
and get help for suicidal Soldiers. The class is not designed to teach the
Soldiers on how to counsel potentially suicidal Soldiers, but how to
identify them as suicidal and get them help, said Jill Nugin, ACS, Family
Advocacy Program specialist.
Person might be
suicidal if he or she:
* Talks about committing suicide
* Has trouble eating or sleeping
* Experiences drastic changes in behavior
* Withdraws from friends and/or
social activities
* Loses interest in hobbies, work, school, etc.
* Prepares for death by making out a will and
final arrangements
* Gives away prized possessions
* Has attempted suicide before
* Takes unnecessary risks
* Has had recent severe losses
* Is preoccupied with death and dying
* Loses interest in their personal appearance
* Increases their use of alcohol
Many times, people who are suicidal don’t really want to kill themselves, said Bixler, but want help. He said they commit suicide when they
think there is no help available and killing themselves is the only way to end
their problems. Many people go through hard times during parts of their
lives, but find resources to help them out. “The fewer resources a person
has, the more extreme the crisis seems to them,” said Bixler.
Many of the Soldiers who have committed suicide or have severe depression had or have relationship problems, said Nugin. The ACS offers couples
workshops to help them plan for deployments. Nugin said one of the best
things couples can do to prepare for deployment and to keep their relationship strong is to set goals and plan. Setting goals creates a mutual interest
when the couple is separated, said Nugin. “Something as simple as reading
the same book can help a long-distance relationship,” she said.
When Soldiers redeploy and are back with their family, readjusting to a
nonhostile environment and adapting can be more stressful than they
thought it would be. During Soldiers’ reintegration, the Fort Carson command policy requires they attend a suicidal awareness and domestic violence
prevention briefing. Nugin said the purpose of these briefings is for
Soldiers to know what resources are available to them if they are having a
hard time adjusting to being home.
Soldiers are also evaluated at the Soldier Readiness Program site by
members of mental health to discuss what could be potential problems for
the Soldiers and evaluate their mental stability. There is also a follow-up
evaluation 90 days after the initial reintegration to help make sure the
Soldier is doing well.
If a Soldier or family member has concerns about someone who
may be severely depressed or suicidal, they can contact the duty chaplain
at 526-3400.

CYS host National Kids Day celebration
by Spc. Clint Stein

The summer break for most school-aged children
has come to a close, but not without a grand finale.
The Child and Youth Services, in conjunction
with the Boys and Girls Club of America Pikes Peak
Region, hosted its 4th annual National Kids Day celebration Aug. 10 at the CYS building.
National Kids Day was started by the Boys and
Girls Club of America and KidsPeace in 2001 to help
honor and recognize children of America by spending
quality time with them. Since then, parents, youth

clubs and other youth organizations across America
have been celebrating National Kids day on the first
Sunday in August.
Although CYS hosted its celebration on a
Wednesday, hundreds of children from the Boys and
Girls Club of America Pikes Peak region, as well as
children from Fort Carson participated in activities,
games and contests throughout the day’s celebration.
The theme for this year’s National Kids Day was
“American Pride.” Steve Hanchett, CYS director, said
a lot of the day’s activities and contests have an
America Pride theme to them. “We’re eating hot
dogs, having a home-run derby and having an applepie-eating contest.”
One of the day’s biggest events was the sidewalkchalk art contest. Children from different age groups
participated in the sidewalk art contest in front of the
CYS building for anyone to see. There were many
drawings on the hot cement pallet. Some children
spent over an hour putting their artistic talents to
work in the midday sun.
Another contest that seemed to attract both
participants and spectators was the apple-pie-eating
contest. Several groups of children, all of different
ages, sat with their hands behind their backs as they
plunged their faces into small apple pies. Within a
few short and messy minutes, an apple-pie-eating
champion was crowned.
For the children who wanted to participate in
activities that were a little cleaner, there were other
things for them to do such as basketball, making their
own necklaces or bracelets, hockey, playing on the

PMO needs vehicles, weapons registered
by Sgt. Chris Smith
Mountaineer staff
If you’re a Soldier, it doesn’t matter
if you live off post; your weapons still
need to be registered. While a Soldier is
doing that, he or she can go ahead and
register their vehicle as well.
Post access is important for
everyone on Fort
Carson, due to
its affect on
installation
safety, said
Spc. Michael
McFarland,
department of
motor vehicles
clerk, 148th
Military Police
Detachment.
McFarland said
all Soldiers, retirees, contractors and
General Staff civilians.
Those registering their vehicle need
to ensure they have proper documentation. All registrants need to have proof
of automobile insurance, proof of registration, stateside driver’s license and a
military or Department of Defense identification card.
Contractors need to also have a
letter of employment that is no more
than seven days old, said McFarland.
The letter needs to be signed by the
point of contact for the contracting company itself.
Motorcycles require a few special
items. The operator will need a driver’s
license with motorcycle endorsement
and a motorcycle safety course card
endorsed by the
Motorcycle Safety
Foundation.
On rental vehicles, drivers need to
ensure they have
the right license
plate number on
the contract.
McFarland said
that has been a problem for many attempting to
get temporary registration for
their rental vehicles.
The influx of redeploying Soldiers
has brought common problems to the
office.
“Mostly the problems we’re having
with Soldiers coming back from deployments is (Soldiers) losing their drivers licenses or not knowing the
grace periods,” said McFarland.
Registering new cars has
also left many people confused.
McFarland said people often
believe that their paper tag is
their registration when it is not.
The driver needs to get a pink
Health Care Professionals .
registration card from the dealership.
Once they have completed registration, the Department of Defense
Form 2220, vehicle registration sticker,
becomes an item the driver is accountable for.
If a servicemember sells a car to
another servicemember, he or she must
scrape those decals off and turn them
back in, said McFarland. Once a decal is
issued to a Soldier, his or her name stays
in the MP’s system until the decals are
turned back in.
Accountability for the decals is
imperative. If there is an exception, such
as the vehicle being totaled, a sworn
statement must be signed. It needs to be
short, simple to the point and signed off
by at least a second lieutenant in the
chain of command.
Once Soldiers have gained access to
post with their vehicle, they also need to
ensure their
weapons are
registered
with the military police. All Soldiers
and family members living within
60 miles of Fort Carson must register
their firearms.
Within 72 hours of arrival at Fort
Carson or purchase of the weapon,
Soldiers need to fill out a Fort Carson
Form 66 and have it signed by their unit
commander. Soldiers need only to bring
the form to the MP station and not the
weapon. Weapons are defined as: pistols, rifles, shotguns, air gun/pellet pistols, stun guns, paint gun, anything powered by a CO2 cartridge and knives
three and a half inches or longer.
“If you don’t register your weapon,
you’re in violation of the law,” said
Master Sgt. Gregory Sandell, operations
sergeant, Provost Marshal’s Office. “It’s
not worth the repercussions. It doesn’t
take much to register a weapon; that
way you can legally store it in the unit
arms room.”

ACS program guides dads-to-be
by Spc. Stephen Kretsinger
Mountaineer staff
Expecting a child can be a nerveracking experience. It’s not often that
male Soldiers sit around the motor pool
and talk about the proper way to change
a diaper, how to take care of a pregnant
wife’s needs or whether it’s better to
breast feed or bottle feed. Army
Community Service has a program that
is a must for any expectant dad who is
looking for a guiding light.
Boot Camp for New Dads is a program that allows expectant dads to learn
the ins and outs of fatherhood from
changing diapers to being the kind of dad
a child can be proud of and look up to.
Boot Camp for New Dads is broken
into three one-hour lunch sessions —
“Becoming a Dad,” “Caring for the
Baby,” and “Caring for Mom.” Lunch is
provided and the sessions run from
Photo by Spc. Stephen Kretsinger
Nate Nugin, mobilization and deployment manager, Army Community
Service, shares advice about fatherhood at Boot Camp for New Dads
in “Dad’s Den” in the Family University building Wednesday.
11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. the first three
Wednesdays of every month.
In the first session, participants talk
about who gave them their idea of what
fatherhood is and talk about that person.
Attendees also discuss the importance
of dads on their children as well as their
hopes and fears for their children.
In the second session, participants
take a quiz of about 20 questions to get
an idea of what they know about taking
care of infants. After taking the quiz, the
group talks about subjects such as
changing diapers, feeding, bathing newborns and various other practical topics
related to fatherhood, using hands-on
training aids if necessary.
Attendees also discuss how
conduct can impact children such as
smoking, drinking and other behaviors
that can hurt or influence children in a
negative way.
Also during the second session, the
participants watch a 10-minute long
movie about Shaking Baby Syndrome.
“It should be shown to every family
expecting a baby, because it’s that
important,” said Nate Nugin, mobilization and deployment manager, ACS.
The last session is open to expectant
mothers as well as the dads. This session
takes a look at what dads need to do,
starting from before the couple is even
expecting to after the child is born, to
taking care of his wife.
“We talk about the relationship,
what the mom needs while she’s carrying the child, after the delivery and as
the child gets older,” said Nugin.
But taking care of mom doesn’t just
mean what you do for her. The course
also talks about how a man takes care of
himself affects mom as well.
“We draw a link between selfcare by dad and how that impacts
mom,” said Nugin. “We talk about
risk-taking behavior and destructive
behavior — smoking, alcohol abuse,
reckless driving, things like that and
their impact.”
At the end of the last session, attendees receive free books on fatherhood, a
diploma and, when available, a T-shirt
with Fort Carson’s Boot Camp for New
Dads logo that Nugin designed himself.
“The back of the shirt says ‘Any
man can be a father, it takes a special
man to be a dad,’” said Nugin.
Boot Camp for New Dads began in
Irvine, Calif., in 1990 when a few
fathers, with their babies in their arms,
held an orientation workshop for men
about to become fathers. When the
“rookies” expressed apprehension about
caring for babies, they were handed a
baby to hold for the first time. Several

No brass, no ammo ...
Amnesty program allows anonymous turn ins
by Spc. Clint Stein
Mountaineer staff
The opportunities for Soldiers and civilians alike
to find and take ammunition or explosive-type items
off a military installation may not be far-fetched —
but what if they regret doing so later?
There is a program in place at
Fort Carson that allows Soldiers
and civilians to turn in found
ammunition and explosives
without any questions or
repercussions.
The amnesty turn ins
will not be used as a basis
for investigations or prosecutions and turn ins can be
anonymous.
The Fort Carson
amnesty program is intended to ensure the maximum
recovery of abandoned military ammunition and explosives,
said Myles Dunlap, quality assurance
specialist ammunition surveillance.
Dunlap said that sometimes a Soldier may think
it’s a good idea to take some ammunition as a souvenir, but later realizes that it wasn’t such a good idea
after all. “This is a chance for them to do the right
thing and not get in trouble.”
However, the amnesty program is not designed to
circumvent normal ammunition and explosive turn
ins for Soldiers.
Dunlap said sometimes ammunition or explosive
devices are turned in when they are
found by new tenants of an
apartment or house. He said
Soldiers have moved out of the
residence and have left behind a
potentially dangerous item
that the new tenants find.
For ammunitions that
are smaller than .50 caliber, Dunlap said people
can transport those to the
ammunition site themselves. The bigger ammunitions or items that people
are not familiar with should
be left to trained professionals, Dunlap said. “The best
rule of thumb is if you don’t
know what it is, stay away from it.”
People can contact the Fort Carson
Explosive Ordnance Company at 5262643 to come and remove larger ammunitions or unknown items.
By Forces Command Regulation
700-4, there is to be one week a year
scheduled for amnesty turn ins. The
amnesty turn in dates for this year will be from

Sept. 6 to 9, but Dunlap said that people can turn in
amnesty items throughout the year.
Abandoned ammunition may be turned in at the
ammunition reclamation area located on Butts Road
one mile south of Butts Army Airfield Monday
through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. If it
is after hours, Dunlap said people can turn in the
amnesty items to the guards.
For more information on amnesty turn-ins, contact the ammunition supply point at 526-4381 or call
the quality assurance office at 526-1795 or 526-1892.
If military ammunition and explosives are
found outside the boundaries of Fort Carson, people
can notify the local civilian
authorities or the
military
police.

From Page 15
months later, the rookies returned as veterans with
their own babies to orient the next group of men, who
in turn returned as veterans, according to the Boot
Camp for New Dads Web site at www.bcnd.org.
Nugin first brought the idea to the Mountain
Post in 2000.
“We were the first Army installation to have
Boot Camp for New Dads,” said Nugin. “We have
probably passed over a hundred boot camp dads
since we started. It was developed as a way to help
guys who are going to be dads for the first time deal
with some of the anxiety and fear that is sometimes
associated with fatherhood.”
It was originally designed to be a one-time, threehour workshop where rookie dads were taught by veteran dads about some of the important aspects of
fatherhood. Fort Carson changed the program to be
made up of three one-hour-long courses due to the
busy schedule of many Soldiers.
“We thought, ‘Why not break it up a little bit and
give guys time to practice and think about some of
these things we talk about,’” said Nugin.
Nugin encourages anybody that wants to be a better dad to attend the program.
“Every time a child comes into the world we meet
new challenges,” said Nugin. “I learn something new
every time. If I get a different group of dads in here, I
learn something I didn’t consider before.”

Church participation is giving back to the Lord
Commentary by Chap. (Maj.)
Noel Johnson
1st Mobilization Brigade
There is nothing like getting next
to nature in a boat on the lake. It
refreshes the soul and calms the weary
mind. I always feel better when I come
in off the water, and whenever I can, I
like to get in the ocean.
Some people like to climb the
tallest mountain peak, and some wait
for the pristine refreshment of pure
white snow. I got a feeling of awe looking up at the stars in Iraq. I guess the
contrast between the raw landscape and
the unexpected majesty of the nighttime sky was startling.
Psalms 19 says, “The heavens
declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after
day they pour forth speech; night after
night they display knowledge.”
God is talking to us through the
illustrations of nature, and we can feel
his presence in his handiwork.
It’s what artists are trying to do;
help you feel what they feel with a
visual painting or sculpture or poem.
Artists intend for you to be so moved
by their work that you want to buy it
and take it home with you to enjoy
whenever you want to feel like the
artist did. Or they sell it to a big distributor or museum so that people can
pay admission and see the work and
feel the strong emotions it evokes.
God is not charging admission to
enjoy the wonders of nature. He is
speaking to you. It’s an invitation.
He says, “I am God of beauty and
majesty; I am Lord of light and the
purveyor of good order and the fruit
of the earth.”
He desires good gifts for us just
like any good father. But like a good
father, he wants us to make a difference, to live in harmony with our
brothers and sisters and keep good
order where we live.
When a man leaves his wife and
children to pursue his own happiness,
we call him a bad father. God is not a
bad father, and he wants to be involved
with our lives. He wants to share time
with us and pass on his legacy of
decency and contribution to society.
People will tell me they don’t need
to go to church because they have an
understanding with God. They get their
spiritual regeneration in nature.
In the story of the prodigal son,
we see that a man who leaves home to
enjoy the fruits of his father’s inheritance without any return on his investment is a bad son, until he changes
his ways and returns home.
Your Heavenly Father is very generous. Everything you have comes

is work to be done.

It is nice to come into the chapel
during the week and take a few quiet
moments to pray. But church is not
church without singing and community prayer. We need to hear the word of
the Lord preached, and we must provide some token of our resources as
an offering. That way, suffering is alleviated, heavy hearts
are unburdened and
loneliness gives way
to fellowship.
God expects us to
participate in the work
of the church, starting
with our presence. If I
need a friend to pray
for me, and you are on
the lake, enjoying the
sights and smells, I am
denied the encouragement of a caring brother or sister in the Lord.

Some of the children spent a lot of time
together in a karaoke room where they could
sing along to some of their favorite songs.
The karaoke machine was not just for the
children, but for adults as well.
Operation Story Time was being conducted
by members of the OutReach Program, where
family members could record themselves on a
compact disc singing karaoke or telling a
story to have it sent to a deployed Soldier.
Family members could also have a photo
taken to be sent as well.
One of the best things about this
program is seeing the amount of love that
goes into these messages, said Randy Moore,
education technician. “A lot of them are
real tear-jerkers.”
Having a CD made and getting it, along
with a photo, sent to a Soldier who is
deployed is free to all military families.
Reservations for Operation Story Time can
be made by calling 524-4218.
When the celebration came to an end, the
children congregated in the CYS gym for
the closing ceremonies. Awards were given
out to first- through third-place winners of
the different contests of the day. The children
were also reminded of what National Kids
Day means.
Hanchett said it is to help show appreciation for the children and to recognize how
special they are. “It’s a celebration of youth
and to spend time with them.”

Fountain-Fort Carson School District Eight ...
Providing opportunities for parents and students
Courtesy
Fountain-Fort Carson
School District Eight
Fountain-Fort Carson School
District Eight staff members are
appreciative of the numerous ways
that parents and guardians are
involved in the education of their
children. When schools and families
work together to support student
learning, children tend to be successful not only at school, but in all
areas of life.
Research has shown that when
parents value education and partner
with schools, the following benefits
occur for students: higher grades and
test scores; better attendance and
more homework completed; fewer
placements in special education;
more positive attitudes and behavior;
higher graduation rates; and greater
enrollment in college.
It is an inspiration to the staff of
the school district to routinely see
and hear parents teaching their
children about the importance
of a good education. School
District Eight is so fortunate to
have parents and guardians who
regularly talk with their chil-
dren about what’s going on at
school. Volunteer at the schools initiate communication with staff,
attend meetings and extracurricular
events, participate on educational
committees, and help their children
with homework.
School District
Eight has an
“open-door”
policy and
invites all
members of
the community to regularly visit
and volunteer at
schools.
Volunteer opportunities include:
helping students
in classrooms,
assisting with
student
supervision, fundraising, off ice
assistance and committee membership at the school or districtwide level.
People can also stay informed
by visiting the district or school Web
sites at http://www.ffc8.org/ffc8.
The district values ideas and
appreciate any suggestions about
improving and achieving the
high standards set for the
staff and students
of School District
Eight.
The district
would also like to
invite interested
community
members and
parents of students receiving special
education
services to
become
members of
the Special
Education
Parent
Advisory
Council.
School district staff will
attend the council meetings and
participate in any work associated
with this parent/school district
partnership.
The council will provide a
collaborative forum for influencing
decision-making and enhancing
the educational services for students
receiving special education
services in the Fountain-Fort
Carson School District.
Goals will include: gaining parent representation from each school
in the district; developing council
membership that is well informed
about special education issues; providing education and training opportunities for parents, community
members and school district staff
regarding special education issues;
ensuring meaningful parent participation opportunities in all aspects
of special education programming;
and providing suggestions, comments and research data to assist
school district staff with the evaluation and enhancement of special
education programming.

Losing yourself ...
Be careful not to fall victim to identity theft
by Capt. Lauren Doyle
Office of the Staff Judge Advocate
Identity theft is a crime in which people obtain key pieces of another’s personal
information, such as Social Security and
driver’s license numbers, and use it for
their own personal gain.
Members of the military, including
retirees, make excellent identity theft targets — lots of people have access to their
information, they have a steady income
and they move around a lot.
There are many actions people perform that make them vulnerable to identity theft. In just one week, someone may
write a check at the grocery store, charge
movie tickets, mail tax returns, change
service providers for a cell phone and
apply for a credit card.
Each one of these actions reveals personal information, such as bank and credit
card account numbers, income information, a Social Security number, and
name, address and phone numbers.
This article will discuss some of the
ways to protect against identity theft
and also steps someone should take if they
are victimized.
Each year, more than 7 million people
are victims of identity theft — this is
roughly 19,180 people every day, 800 per
hour or 13 per minute.
Identity theft is committed by a variety of people. Individuals may use identity
theft as a way to get some quick cash or to
avoid something negative in their own
background — such as bad credit, arrest
warrants or a criminal record.
Illegal aliens may use a Social
Security number to be able to obtain legal
work. Terrorists and street gangs have discovered that this is an easy way to make
money for their illegal actions. No matter
who may be trying to steal an identity, or
for what reason, there are simple steps to
take to prevent becoming a victim.
These steps include:
• Only reveal personal information
when it is absolutely necessary.
• Don’t give out a Social Security
numbers and date of birth.
• Don’t carry a Social Security card in
a wallet.
• Keep credit cards to a minimum.
• Shred all documents that have personal information, such as name, address,
account numbers or other personal identifiers on them.
• Ask banks and credit card companies
not to share personal information.

Story and photos by Spc. Stephen Kretsinger
Mountaineer staff
Fort Carson held a welcome home ceremony for more
than 100 Soldiers from the 2nd Brigade Combat Team at
the Special Events Center Sunday, marking the completion
of the 2nd BCT’s redeployment to the Mountain Post.
The Soldiers were last to arrive at Fort Carson
because they volunteered to stay behind to account for
the brigade’s equipment and make sure it made it to Fort
Carson. The move brings approximately 3,400 new
Soldiers to the Mountain Post.
The plane carrying the Soldiers landed after having
to refuel in Pueblo, when the Colorado Springs
Municipal Airport was fogged in. The Soldiers were
greeted by forward detachment members of the brigade
and local community members offering the Soldiers
food, welcome-home letters and hugs.
The Soldiers were then bused to Fort Carson where
they turned in their weapons. After leaving the manifest
site, the Soldiers were transported to the Special Events
Center for the ceremony.
“It feels wonderful (to be home),” said Spc. Jason
Sutton, Company B, 2nd Forward Support Battalion, 2nd
BCT. “(I’m looking forward to) just having fun with
friends and relaxing.”
The Department of the Army announced last fall that
the unit would relocate to Fort Carson from its home station
in Korea following deployment to Iraq on Aug. 2, 2003.
“We started fighting on Sept. 12 and we didn’t stop
until the day we handed the area over,” said Col. Gary
Patton, commander, 2nd BCT. “It was a tough fight
against terrorism.”
The unit has had many milestones in the last two
years. This was the first time a unit has deployed from
Korea since the Korean War and their area of responsibility in Iraq was one of the toughest areas of the country.
The brigade’s area of responsibility was in the heart of
the Sunni Triangle. The brigade took a supporting role in
Operation Phantom Fury, later known as Operation al-Fajr,
which was the fight to retake Fallujah and keep it secure.
“I’d say we were on the front line of the Global War on
Terrorism, that’s the only way you can put it,” said Patton.
The unit also was on hand to oversee the historic
first free elections in Iraq, said Patton.
“The turnout in our area wasn’t that good, but the
fact is, there was an election. It was safe, it was secure
and the people had a chance to participate — a choice to
participate,” said Patton.
In the last several months, the unit was an integral
part in helping integrate the Iraq Army into the Global
War on Terrorism, said Patton.

Air regulation amendment enhances Carson training
by Susan C. Galentine
Directorate of Environmental
Compliance and Management
The ability to “train as we fight” in a realistic
environment on Fort Carson was furthered July 21
when the Colorado Department of Public Health
and Environment approved amending its 1998 regulation concerning the use of military smoke and
obscurants during training exercises.
According to Sally Atkins, Directorate of
Environmental Compliance and Management Air
Program Coordinator, the amendment removed a threekilometer buffer zone around the perimeter of the
installation in which no smoke could be generated and
removed constraints on the types of smoke allowed to
provide flexibility in adopting new technology.
“This is a significant change to the regulation
and will provide for increased training flexibility
and more realistic training capability,” said Atkins.
“It will allow our Soldiers to use critical training
areas, such as drop zones for airborne operations
and urban war-fighting training complexes, and to
use better technology, such as synthetic graphite.
“It also helps minimize delays in training as the
amendment allows the combined use of our 373,000
training acres at Fort Carson and the Piñon Canyon
Maneuver Site.”
The amendment, which goes into effect Sept.
30, does not change the regulatory requirement of
no visible emissions crossing the installation
boundary. Fort Carson has operational procedures
and controls in place to increase accountability,
which places an emphasis on the proper use of
smoke and obscurant to facilitate training while
ensuring environmental compliance.
Appropriate response measures are also in place
in the unlikely case that smoke drifts toward or
crosses the boundary.
In order to ensure the proposed conditions were
something the military could live with, Atkins credits the success of the regulation amendment to the
help of a comprehensive team of stakeholders,
which included the G-3 7th Infantry Division
(Strategic Plans, Range Division, and Chemical
Division), the Soldier Biological Chemical
Command, the U.S. Air Force, 10th Special Forces
Group (Airborne), Office of the Staff Judge
Advocate and a toxicologist from the U.S. Army
Center for Health Promotion and
Preventive Medicine.
Extensive cooperative work
was required between Fort Carson
and environmental regulators for
three and a half years to conduct
the required research and gain
approval of all the conditions of
the amendment.
“Through painstaking coordination with the CDPHE and the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, we were able to attain the
mutual goal of no visible emissions
off post without crippling combat
effectiveness by placing Soldiers’
lives at risk through artificial constraints,” said Atkins.
The need to permanently
amend the Colorado regulation was
driven by several factors, according to Mike
Heredia, Deputy G3, Strategic Plans Coordinator.
Since the 1998 exemption, there has been a 50percent increase in Soldiers training at Fort Carson
and training requirements have increased greatly
due to combat operations and the Global War on
Terrorism. In addition, technology in smoke and
obscurants has evolved since the 1998 regulation.
In preparation for the regulation amendment,
the G-3 is currently preparing a standard operating
procedure document for training with smoke
and obscurants.
For more information on smoke training, contact the Air Program at 526-6601 or 526-1708.

Fest and Buffalo Barbecue Days are
other worthwhile events.
One of the most famous events in
Manitou Springs is the 50th Pikes Peak
Ascent Saturday, when hundreds of
people run to the top of Pikes Peak,
just for the fun of it. The ascent starts
at 6:30 a.m. in front of City Hall on
Manitou Avenue. The next day, many of
those same people run the Pikes Peak
Marathon, in which people run to the
top of Pikes Peak and then run back
down; just for the challenge. The start
line is in front of City Hall and the finish line is at the corner of Ruxton and
Manitou Avenue.
Call the Chamber of Commerce at
685-5089 for information on any event.
Pick up a visitor’s guide and pamphlets
at the chamber, 354 Manitou Avenue.
To reach Manitou Springs from Fort
Carson, take Highway 115 to Cimarron

ages to the antique, classic games. Unusual
stores sell retro toys, American Indian wares,
art, jewelry, pottery and gifts.
And, there’s that water. Visitors want to
try it; some people take it home in plastic
containers and use it to make their own
carbonated beverages.
There are still nine mineral water springs
open to the public, including springs near Soda
Springs Park and the arcade.
The Chamber of Commerce sponsors
“Springabouts” during summer. At 9:30 a.m.
on Tuesdays and Saturdays, a guide leads a
tour of the various springs. Each spring has
its own unique-tasting water. Guests on the
walkabout should bring a small cup for
tasting the water.
A few remnants of Manitou Springs’ heyday are still visible. The Barker House Hotel is
now a restaurant and retirement apartment
house. The Cliff House survived a fire and
several uses and was restored to its original
use as an elegant hotel and restaurant. The
Briarhurst Manor, where the Bell family lived,
serves as an upscale restaurant.
The Stage Coach Inn — which was
a stage- coach stop between
Colorado Springs and Cripple
Creek and is now a restaurant specializing in beef and buffalo.
Melodrama is performed in dinner
theaters in Manitou Springs, and
the Victorian Miramont castle is
open for tea and tours.
Manitou Springs hosts interesting and unique events, many of
them in Soda Springs Park, in the
heart of downtown Manitou
Springs. Other events are in
Memorial Park, near the Chamber
of Commerce. The Mountain
Music Festival is Aug. 26 to 28,
followed the following weekend
by the Commonwheel Art Co-op

Ordnance unit wins first flag football game of year

Mountaineer staff
Editor’s note: Here is the schedule for Wednesday’s games at the
Mountain Post Sports Complex. The
1st Mobilization Brigade OB vs. the
2nd Brigade Combat Team at 6 p.m.
and 60th Ordnance Company vs. 10th
Combat Support Hospital at 7 p.m.
The 2005 post unit level intramural football season kicked off Tuesday
with three exciting games at the
Mountain Post Sports Complex.
According to Joe Lujan, assistant
intramural sports director, this could
be one of the most exciting football
seasons at the post in the past two
years because of the return to the
Mountain Post of so many Soldiers
who were courageously serving the
nation in the Middle East the past
two years.
There will be 12 teams: 60th
Ordnance; Medical Department
Activity Command; 230th Finance;
Company E, 1st Battalion, 8th
Infantry Regiment; 64th Brigade
Support Battalion; 1st MOB Bde.,
2nd BCT; 10th Combat Support
Hospital; 759th Military Police
Battalion; 1st Squadron, 8th Medical
Battalion; Company B, 1st Squadron,
68th Infantry Regiment; and
Company A, 3rd Squadron, 29th
Field Artillery Regiment, playing in
this year’s league.
In the first contest of the new season, the 60th Ordnance defeated
MEDDAC 18-0 Tuesday night.
The Ordnance team rode the
speedy legs of Terrell Black and a
suffocating defense to victory over a
MEDDAC team was made to seem a
step slow by the overall speed of the
Ordnance unit.
The Ordnance team got on the
scoreboard twice in the first half,
thanks to the nimble feet of Black and
the relentlessness of a defense that
drove the MEDDAC team backwards
most of the game.
The Ordnance team scored its
first touchdown of the game when
quarterback Donnie Marshall threw a
short pass to Black at the six-yard line
and Black did the rest by running

around one defender and bullying his
way through another to get into the
end zone and give the Ordnance team
a 6-0 lead. After getting the twopoint conversation, Ordnance led the
game 8-0. On the very next series the
Ordnance team defense got in on the
fun by first pinning the MEDDAC
team deep in its own territory and
then relentlessly pursuing the MEDDAC quarterback Joe Turbyville into
the end zone for a safety and a 10-0
lead. In the second half, Black continued his one man offensive show
by picking off a MEDDAC pass and
returning it 25 yards for a touchdown
and put the game away for the
Ordnance team.
After the game, Black said the
key to his success was an age-old
theory in football. “Speed kills and I
was able to use my speed tonight,”
Black said.
Nickolaus Krobaq, Ordnance
coach, said his team played well
and they expect that to be the case
this year.
“We have a very solid team that
is motivated to play well and we are
very dedicated to playing this game.
We knew we wanted to vary our
defenses tonight and keep them off
balance and we were able to do that.
We have a chance to be a good team
this year,” Krobaq said.
