New employment site empowers potential candidates Special to The Morning Calm Weekly DALLAS  Applying for a job with the Department of Defense’s oldest and largest exchange service is now easier than ever before thanks to an expanded, online career center. With opportunities in retail, food service, procurement, information systems and more, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s (AAFES’) revamped career center offers targeted entry-level, hourly and management opportunities that are searchable by keyword, job title, area of interest and location. “AAFES is a worldwide military command,” said AAFES’ Senior Vice President of Human Resources James Moore. “As a result, we have career opportunities everywhere from the Middle East to Maine for those ready to serve what we consider to be the best customers in the world, America’s Soldiers and Airmen as well as

their Families.” The updated system allows entry-level and management applicants to quickly search and apply for available positions across the AAFES system and even check on the status of jobs previously applied for. Once an initial profile is complete, a “Job Agent” can be created to notify applicants of new positions that match their career interests. AAFES’ revamped career center is available under the “AAFES employment” link at www.aafes.com. “Employment at the BX or PX is much more than just a ‘job,’ it’s a career in which people can truly make a difference,” said Moore. An Equal Employment Opportunity Employer that was recently named the 2nd military spouse friendly employer in America, AAFES currently employs some 45,000 associates at more than 3,100 retail and food establishments across the globe.

Post-Deployment Health Reassesment safeguards Soldier health, wellness Special to The Morning Calm Weekly To safeguard the health and well-being of all Soldiers, the U.S. Army implemented the Post-Deployment Health Reassessment, or PDHRA, in January 2006. A Commander’s Program, the PDHRA gives Soldiers an opportunity to address any health concerns that may emerge following redeployment. It is available to all Soldiers -- Active and Reserve Component -- who have returned from combat. “Returning home and settling back into a routine can be filled with excitement and discovery. The U.S. Army has learned that as time passes, Soldiers may start facing health concerns that they may not have noticed before,” explains LTC Vinette Gordon, who leads the U.S. Army PDHRA program. The Reason for PDHRA Research shows that proactively identifying these health concerns strongly impacts the long-term health and well-being of Soldiers and their Families. The U.S. Army wants to help Soldiers address their health concerns before they develop into more serious problems. How to Complete the PDHRA Soldiers who have returned from a combat deployment since 10 March 2005, must complete the PDHRA. In most cases, the PDHRA takes place 90 to 180 days after redeployment. Commanders will notify Soldiers to participate in the PDHRA process, and Soldiers can log on to Army Knowledge Online to check their PDHRA status under “My Medical Readiness.” To complete the PDHRA, Soldiers fill out DD Form 2900 and speak one-on-one with a health care provider. The health care provider will refer Soldiers for further evaluation and treatment, if necessary. Most Soldiers will complete the PDHRA as part of a unitscheduled event, or through an appointment or walk-in basis. Battlemind II Training As a part of PDHRA, Soldiers also complete Battlemind II training. Battlemind II builds on skills that helped Soldiers survive in combat. The video-based training shows Soldiers how to adapt these skills now that they have returned home. For more information or to view the Battlemind II training video, visit www.battlemind.org To learn more about PDHRA, visit http://fhp.osd.mil/pdhrainfo or the MTF website, if available.

USO Vice President visits USAG-Casey By Jim Cunningham USAG-RC Public Affairs CASEY GARRISON—At the United Services Organization world headquarters in Washington D.C., they want to know first hand what the field offices around the world need to continue their excellent service to Soldiers. For that reason, they sent their Vice President Jack Flanagan to USAG-Casey to find out. “I came out to the Pacific in general and to Korea specifically because I am relatively new to the USO,” Flanagan said. “This is my opportunity to get out and see where the real work gets done and meet the people.” Finding out first hand is what Flanagan is all about, especially given the USAG-Casey USO reputation. “I have the best job at headquarters,” Flanagan said. “Because I am an advocate for the field, it is difficult to advocate unless you see exactly what the people are doing, find out what their needs are, and finding out what headquarters can do to support them better.”

Flanagan’s visit to probe what field offices needed also turned out to be a visit to see how much Korea has changed since his last visit. “The last time I was in Korea was in the 1970’s,” Flanagan said. “This is an opportunity for me to discover how much Korea has changed in the intervening 30 years.” When Flanagan was last in Korea, he was a Navy officer. Although he never lived in Korea, he spent a lot of his career with the Navy in Asia. “I spent four years in Hong Kong and lived in Italy twice during my career,” Flanagan said. Although Flanagan has been with the USO less than a year, he does have a special understanding of what it takes to support the troops in Area I. “I have a special affinity for what the Soldiers here do and the conditions under which they have to live and work. I know the uniformed branches of the services, Morale, Welfare and Recreation, Exchange services, and all the different people that support

the Soldier here have a difficult job under the circumstances. I feel it is our job to give them the best possible support we can.” Flanagan is impressed with the reputation of USAG-Casey’s USO in the Korean community as well as the rapport the organization has with the Soldiers in Area I. “In a time when all support organizations are finding more demands being put on them, it is important to provide that support in the best way the organization can afford it,” Flanagan said. “The USO is a non-profit donor based organization, we do not get support from the United States government.” Flanagan’s probe mission is to find out exactly what the USO is providing for the Soldiers and how they are going about it. “I will take what I have learned back to Washington D.C. and impart it to my colleagues,” Flanagan said. “I will then show them how to provide better support with the same amount of money or show how we are under serving a particular group and improve it.”

Soldier SOFA reps train at Casey: part 2 By Jim Cunningham, USAG-RC Public Affairs (Editor’s note: This is part two of a two part series about training Soldiers and civilians to be SOFA representatives. Part one ran in the Oct. 12 issue of the Morning Calm Weekly.) CASEY GARRISON—The United States-Republic of Korea Status of Forces Agreement controls almost all aspects of stationing U.S. Soldiers in Korea. For all working for the Department of the Army, contractors engaged by the DOA, and Soldiers, the agreement has everything to do with day to day contact with the Korean society. For that reason, the 2nd Infantry Division sent an expert to Camp Casey Sept. 27 to teach Soldiers how to be SOFA representatives. “It is important for Soldiers and civilians to understand the Korean process,” said Capt. Melissa Dasgupta, chief, International and Operational Law, 2nd Infantry Division. “SOFA representatives are in every unit and they teach the Soldiers. These representatives are there for the Soldiers in case they have to be questioned by the Korean National Police.” SOFA representatives are required by United States Forces Korea Regulation 1-44. “USFK Regulation 1-44 says that SOFA representatives must be trained by the legal office,” Dasgupta said. “Every commander as the responsibility to make them available on a 24 hour basis.” The SOFA agreement supersedes relevant domestic law of both nations. Because there are many differences between the justice system in the U.S. and Korea, the SOFA agreement is there as a bond by both governments to protect Soldiers, their dependents, U.S. citizens working for the DOA and their dependents. The SOFA agreement deals with two different sides of foreign criminal jurisdiction

in the Korean process. Exclusive jurisdiction and the prosecutor releases jurisdiction. under the SOFA is in regard to unique When that happens, it is called a Waiver of offenses.

“For civilians, it behooves them to give up their passport,” Dasgupta said. “Some have refused giving up their passport, so we give up responsibility for that person and cannot guarantee the KNP will not arrest them.” For civilians and dependents who surrender their passport, the SOFA representative takes responsibility. “You can temporarily give your passport to the U.S. or you can be at the mercy of the Korean justice system,” Dasgupta said. —See SOFA page 7—

Casey Job Fair offers opportunities for Warriors By Jim Cunningham USAG-RC Public Affairs CASEY GARRISON—Major corporations and the U.S. Army were present at the USAG-Casey Job Fair Oct. 12 to recruit Soldiers into jobs. The Army was there for Soldiers that wanted to re-enlist and the corporations were there to fill many open positions. “I think the most interesting company here this year is Blackwater,” said Ken Schlueter, transition services manager for Area I. “That is a new company and they are here with another new company for us, International Telephone and Telegraph.” Getting corporations interested in coming to Korea was not an easy job, according to Carl Reed, contractor installation manager for the Yongsan Army Career and Alumni Program Center. “I coordinated the job fair for this area today,” Reed said. “It is not easy getting corporations to come all the way to Korea to fill jobs.” There is more than that, which meets the eye when surveying the booths at the job fair. Not only do those corporations have jobs to fill, there is a hidden market as well. “There are many jobs for Soldiers in the corporate market,” said Larry Harris of Military Overseas Recruiting Events. “A resume many start with one company and wind up hiring from another company.” Although the fair at USAG-Casey would only be for one day, they expected to see more than 100 Soldiers inquire

about job opportunities. “I am taking applications for all the companies that are not here today, but will be in Yongsan tomorrow,” said Harry Li of Army Career and Alumni Program. “Wetherford, Booz, Allen, Hamilton, and Deltale Corp. are not present today but I will forward the applications Soldiers leave for them.” Some corporations were recruiting for many different types of vocations within their company. “I am looking for just about every vocation imaginable,” said Susie Porter, recruiter for International Telephone and Telegraph Systems Division. “We do hire from grass cutters to rocket scientists. Right now we have the most openings for our Logistics Civil Augmentation Program. We should start filling those positions around November and December. This is a government contract that ITT has currently won, so we are looking to fill 5,000 jobs.” Rick Weiner, recruiter for Lucas Group, is looking to fill positions all across the United States. “We have seen about 20 Soldiers today,” Weiner said. “We have jobs in logistics, operations, engineering, transportation and management.” Lucas Group, Blackwater, and ITT Corp. were all companies who sent recruiters from the states to fill jobs. “There are so many varied opportunities for Soldiers when they leave the military,” Schlueter said. “All they have to do is take advantage of the job fairs offered here to find a career after their service to the nation.”

5th Annual Volksmarch presses forward at Casey

Soldiers and Family Members had a unique opportunity to participate in the only athletic activity in which children are invited to participate with their parents. The fifth annual Volksmarch was held at USAG-Casey Oct. 13 at the Hanson Field House. “A Volksmarch in Germany is a walk through the mountainside,” said Jim Williams, sports director for USAG-Casey. “Volksmarches usually coincide with the Oktoberfest celebration. Instead of having running events and bike races, we thought we would do just a 5-kilometer walk around the perimeter of USAG-Casey.”A Volksmarch is about much more than a foot race or a sporting event. “A Volksmarch is a walk with friends and associates,” Williams said. “In a run, you are running against the clock. Here children are welcome and we even have awards for children. We give awards to men, women, and children, so we encourage everyone to come out and participate.” The Area I Volksmarch is the only event where children are invited to participate with adults. “This is our third year doing a Volksmarch,” Williams said. “In the future we will have more events to include children.”All total, 14 adults participated in the march and awards were given for first and second places.— U.S. Army Photo By Jim Cunningham

SOFA “Some civilians feel like they are being forced to give up their passports, but it is a choice.” When Soldiers are involved in a crime or incident, their unit is notified. USFK International Law is notified and they are put on International hold. The same happens to civilians when they surrender their passport. When the U.S. asks the Korean government to waive jurisdiction, the U.S. has 21 days to file with the Korean court. The Korean court has 28 days to answer the request. “If the Korean court waives jurisdiction, we notify the unit and remove the Soldier from international hold,” Dasgupta said. “If the alleged offense falls under Policy Letter number 36, the unit must request a release of jurisdiction form the commanding general. If the commanding general releases jurisdiction, the unit will take the appropriate disciplinary action in accordance with the UCMJ. The trial counsel reports the action to the International Law office and we notify the Korean Ministry of Justice of the action.” When the Korean court does not waive jurisdiction, the commanding officer is responsible for: providing a SOFA representative during interrogation by the KNP, ensuring the Soldier has clothes and personal hygiene items if in pre-trial confinement, and maintaining the Soldier’s appearance during the trials.

Continued from page 7 “If a person is in pretrial confinement, you as SOFA representatives may have to go and visit them a lot to help them out,” Dasgupta said. “You will need to help them maintain their appearance.” “For a person to be put in pre-trial confinement, a warrant is required along with a hearing,” Dasgupta said. “The criteria for confining someone before trial will be questions such as ‘is the accused a danger or a flight risk.’ They do require these things in their procedure. Adequate cause is reasonable grounds to believe the accused committed the offense.”In Korean criminal procedure, there will be an indictment before the case is transferred to court. During the trial the accused will be questioned along with witnesses. Any physical evidence will also be presented. After that, the sentencing will take place. If the accused is found guilty, they may appeal, but the process takes between two to 12 months. “In Korea you can continue appealing your judgment,” Dasgupta said. “In the U. S. only certain cases can go to the Supreme Court. In Korea, every single case can go to the Supreme Court. If you do not get the judgment you want, you can keep appealing all the way to the top court in Korea. If you have a Soldier or civilian who wants to appeal, you should let them know they can.” When the Korean court does not waive jurisdiction, a judge advocate will attend all trials and observe to annotate

compliance with the SOFA agreement. All judge advocates that are not trial counsel or defense counsel have orders from the U.S. ambassador to Korea to serve as trial observers, according to Dasgupta. There are basically two ways Korean court cases can turn out. The most common way in lesser offenses is the private settlement. This is when the accused compensates the victim and is released. For more serious crimes, the defense may claim a myriad of reasons for committing the crime. One such defense is “Absence of Mens Rea.” “Mens Rea is a person’s state of mind,” Dasgupta said. “For example, if the defendant is really drunk when committing the crime, then the court will take that state of mind in consideration. That means that the defendant didn’t purposely intend to commit the crime. If that was the defendant’s state of mind when committing the crime, it is important to bring that up at the trial because the judge may give the defendant mercy.” Other factors the Korean court will take in consideration are: committing the crime by mistake, under duress, or in self-defense, according to Dasgupta. Penalties for crimes in Korea can go as far as the death penalty. Penal servitude and imprisonment can be for life or definite sentences from one month to 25 years if the offense is aggravated. It could only be fines or confiscation and civil assessment. “If you injure the driver in a vehicle accident, it is a minimum of three years in

jail,” Dasgupta said. “If you kill the driver in a vehicle accident, it is seven years in jail.” Sentencing for specific crimes such as murder or manslaughter can be the death penalty, life or three to five years based on intent of the accused. Robbery with injury can bring sentences of life or seven plus years. “For anyone who drives in Korea, they should remember even fender-benders are a criminal offense,” Dasgupta said. “Usually they are handled by compensation and private settlement.” Recent legislation in Korea creates increased penalties for a person who assaults or threatens the driver of an automobile. If the driver is injured the sentence is a mandatory minimum of three years. If the driver is killed, the sentence is a mandatory minimum of five years up to life imprisonment. “The Korean courts made this law because there are people in Korean society (not just U.S. Soldiers) that like to beat up taxi cab drivers,” Dasgupta said. “No matter what the reason for the law, it is a very important one to know.” All SOFA representatives are their unit’s expert on foreign criminal jurisdiction in Korea, according to Dasgupta. Their duties are: protect, mentor and guide Soldiers through the processes, get the Soldier to the right place, at the right time and in the right uniform, coordinate with SOFA Advisors, bring appointment orders, and report violations of the SOFA.

The U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan Equal Opportunity Office organized the event with various presentations. “The national observance is a tradition that began 30 years ago on Sept. 17, 1968,” said U.S. Navy Yeoman 3rd Class Daoud Boone, master of ceremonies. “The Hispanic Heritage Month is to celebrate the cultural diversity and unique contributions of the Hispanic community in the U.S.” The event started with a slideshow about Hispanic Americans who have contributed to the U.S. society, like Alex Rodriguez, Gloria Estefan and others. Following the presentation, Seoul American Middle School student Elizabeth Davis gave a solo song and dance performance honoring the

Yecenia Dejesus-Soto read a poem “One face, One Heart,” which her mother wrote. She said that the color of skin does not designate a human and emphasized that we are one. She also expressed her feelings by sharing a piece of her lifetime experiences with the community members. “Hispanic Americans should have great pride in their heritage,” Soto said. “I am glad that Hispanic Heritage Month gives our nation an opportunity to celebrate our contributions.” The main event was the speech by Chief Warrant Officer William Vazquez. He emphasized how ethnic diversity influences the nation in everything from art, sports and the Army itself. “One characteristic that made has the U.S. stronger is her diversity,” Vazquez said. “People from all corners from the globe are serving to make a better country.” — See Hispanic, Page 12 —

Yongsan to compete in ACOE ‘final four’ By David McNally USAG-Y Public Affairs

YONGSAN GARRISON — Officials informed U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan leaders Oct. 8 of their selection as a finalist for the fiscal 2008 Army Communities of Excellence competition. The garrison will now compete as one of four finalists worldwide. “There were a lot of submissions and very few picked,” said Garrison Commander Col. Dave Hall. “This is a great organization. A lot of hard work went into our submission and it will not stop.” A Department of the Army team will visit Yongsan in early November to verify the garrison’s submission packet. Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management Lt. Gen. Robert Wilson said on his Web site that the ACOE program recognizes performance in installlation management. “The program promotes the identification of exemplary business and management practices and also supports the promulgation of these initiatives across the Army,” Wilson wrote. “With the concept of continuous improvement

common to the business world. Finalists compete against a common standard, and not against each other, officials said. Winning garrisons receive both the coveted title of “Army Communities of Excellence” and a financial reward. In fiscal 2007, Camp Zama, Japan won $2 million for their first place selection. Fort Meade, Md. won second and Fort A.P. Hill, Va. took third. “Yongsan has a history of excellence with past ACOE successes,” said Deputy Garrison Commander Don Moses. “This year’s honor of being selected is indicative of the continued excellence and quality of life we provide our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Civilians and their Family Members.” Yongsan has competed in ACOE many times over the years and even won $500,000 as a 2001 finalist. Moses said while the announcement was not expected, it was not a surprise. “Given the day-to-day efforts of the USAG-Y team, we meet the community’s needs and exceed expectations,” Moses said. “Whether we win or not, the fact is that being selected as a finalist reflects the hard work of the garrison.”

Fire Prevention Week sparks interest By Sgt. Jung Jae-hoon USAG-Y Public Affairs

YONGSAN GARRISON — Firefighters teach children how to escape from a second floor using a slide and how to use a water hose to put out the fire. The event is all part of this year’s Fire Prevention Week. The annual event, Oct. 8-13, shines a spotlight on fire safety and is a special event for young children. The U.S. Army Garrison–Yongsan Fire Department, in conjunction with the off-post Yongsan-gu Fire Department, conducted fire prevention activities with Seoul American Elementary School children Oct. 11 at the garrison fire station. “We were asked to participate in training for children,” said Yongsangu Fire Station Safety Manager Park Joo-sang. “We went through a lot, including fire prevention, putting out fires, first aid and much more.” Park said learning about fires and how dangerous they can be is never something you can teach too early. “This exercise will increase the knowledge in fire prevention and also strengthen the relationship between both fire departments,” Park said. “Please tell the community that they could call on us anytime they need to.” This year’s theme is “Practice your Escape Plan,” so children had a chance to learn about escaping fire and how to prevent casualties. The exercise let the children actually participate “You need to have an escape in what firefighters do. They got to go up a fake plan wherever you are. Every- building and use the slides one should know where to go just like when people escape from a burning building. and where to assemble in case Children also had a chance to use a water-filled fire of fire.” extinguisher. “This was really fun John Derengowski because we got to try out a lot of things,” said SAES assistant fire chief 3rd grader Austin Bolander. “The slide was especially good.” Bolander also said he now knows how to remove something from the throat when a person is choking. “In October each year, the anniversary of the great Chicago Fire, we hold fire prevention week,” said Fire Prevention Chief John Derengowski. “You need to have an escape plan wherever you are. Everyone should know where to go and where to assemble in case of fire.”Derengowski said the USAG-Y Fire Department conducted fire

prevention activities all week along. “We gave away 600 hot dogs and 500 hamburgers during last two days at the fire station,” he said. “The USO, Commissary and AAFES donated food, drinks and gift certificates.”Derengowski said more than 1,000 people stopped by the fire station. “I think it was very beneficial to the young students to make them aware of the importance of fire safety, exit plans and smoke detectors,” he said. The station also held a student poster contest that revolved around the year’s theme. Twelve students won Army and Air Force Exchange Service gift certificates ranging from $10 to $25.“Overall, I am very happy with how the week went,” Derengowski said. “We were able to raise community awareness about a very important issue.”

Yongsan remembers the environment

H

ave any of you seen abandoned propane tanks behind buildings on Post? How about car batteries disposed of in our regular trash? Well I have, and I NEED to ask for your help ensuring our household hazardous waste is disposed of properly. At U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan, we offer a “leaning-forward-in-the-foxhole” solution to household hazardous waste disposal. With our drop-off locations, we are attempting to take care of our environment, but this program only works if you know about it. If you need to dispose of any of the following items, we can help: Propane tanks for barbecue grills Household cleaners Household pesticides or herbicides Paint and paint thinners Solvents Small aerosol cans Used motor oil and filters Small batteries Brake/transmission fluid and antifreeze Cooking Oil Toner cartridge

Hispanic After the events, USAG-Y Command Sgt. Maj. Diane Foster presented awards for each participant.“We are diverse but yet we are one,” Foster said. “I am very grateful to the guest speaker

To use this program, call Mr. Kwon at 724-7214 or Mr. Yi at 724-6498. Our environmental professionals can direct you to the most appropriate drop-off point for your hazardous waste and give you any additional information you may require. Some tips to remember: keep products in their original containers and do not mix them. Make sure lids are tightly sealed; label materials that are not in their original containers; place leaking containers in a larger, plastic container with a tight-fitting lid; secure products upright in a cardboard or plastic box so that they do not tip over during transport; ensure adequate ventilation during transport so you are not in danger from toxic fumes. You also need to keep flammables out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat. Of course, it goes with out saying, but do not smoke around hazardous waste. This is your opportunity to help keep the garrison environmentally clean. If you have any questions, please call the Environmental Division at 724-7214 and request assistance to use the program that was designed for you.

Continued from page 9 and all the participants for the part they played in making this month’s observance a success,” said USAG-Y Equal Opportunity Representative Sgt. 1st Class Myra Watson.

Reflecting on the daily sacrifices of love our Servicemembers make so we may live in freedom Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Mitchell Lewis 19th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary)

A

few years ago, I conducted a funeral for a young Army aviator who died in World War II. It took 58 years for his remains to come home from a lonely jungle crash site on a remote Pacific island. As I conducted the service, I realized that this young man was born in the same year and served in the same theater as my father-in-law. My father-inlaw returned to Georgia after the war, married, started a family, entered upon a vocation and enjoyed the fruit of the liberty he helped save. This young aircrew member never had the opportunity to experience any of that, but his sacrifice helped make our world a better place for all. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to talk with the friends and family of many servicemembers who died in combat. It’s amazing how many of them quote this same Bible verse to me: “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). Many of the fallen – and their families – have seen their lives this way. It is a gift of love to the people of their nation and their world. It seems to me that this is what all servicemembers do, wherever and whenever they serve. They lay down their lives for us – sacrificing the companionship of loved ones and the comforts of home – enduring great hardship and danger – subordinating their own needs and wants to the needs of the nation. There is a great price to be paid for the liberties we enjoy, and it’s not just those who don’t come home who

pay that price. If you talk to those who have deployed to combat operations, it won’t take long before you start to hear the personal cost of war. War is scary, lonely, hot, dirty, tiring, and disturbing on so many levels. It can take a terrible toll on families. It has a way of changing the direction of life’s journeys. Some come home without limbs. Some come home with wounds that cannot be seen. They pay this great price as a gift of love to us.

“They lay down their lives for us – sacrificing the companionship of loved ones and the comforts of home – enduring great hardship and danger – subordinating their own needs and wants to the needs of the nation.” Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Mitchell Lewis 19th Sustainment Command Our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coasties will continue to give us the gift of their service. As the recipients of that gift, we have the responsibility before God to honor and use that precious gift wisely. May God strengthen and sustain all those who offer us th gift of their military service. May the memory of those who have gone to their rest never be forgotten, and may those who suffer from wounds of body or spirit find healing for their souls.

THE MORNING CALM

Humphreys Garrison Soldiers, Family Members enjoy Korean culture tour by Stacy Ouellette USAG-H Pubic Affairs Office Sixty Soldiers, Family Members and Civilian employees recently ventured out on a free community relations tour sponsored by Anseong City. The tour was designed to provide U.S. visitors to the Republic of Korea an opportunity to experience the city of Anseong and attractions, which is in driving distance of USAG Humphreys. “I’d encourage everyone to come and go out on these tours. I was here in 1996 and didn’t see much of Korea. On this tour, I was able to see plenty, have two great meals and it was for free. You just can’t beat it,” said Chief Warrant Officer Brian J. Pendley, 3rd Military Intelligence Battalion safety officer. Participants on this tour visited the Anseong Machum Museum, which provides an in-depth history of their well-known brass ware. Through exhibits and relics, visitors can unravel the making of brass ware. Additionally, the group learned about the five agricultural products Anseong is known for -- Korean pears, King grapes, tender beef, ginseng and rice. Other attractions on the tour included two dance shows and the popular Namsadang-Nori, which dancers perform in a circle with instruments and ribbons circling around their heads. “For Soldiers who are hanging out in the barracks and not sure of what to do off-post, this is a great way to get out. The staff escorting our group was helpful, friendly and kept us informed throughout the day. There’s no issue with translations and the bus takes you around to each spot,” said Pendley.

As part of the afternoon entertainment, the group watched traditional Korean dance performances at the Taepyung-Mu Training Center. — U.S. Army Photo By Stacy Ouellette.

Area III Soldiers, Family Members, civilian employees get involved with action plan By Bob McElroy USAG-H Public Affairs Office HUMPHREYS GARRISON — U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys held its annual Army Family Action Plan sessions last week at the Humphreys Community Activities Center. A grass-roots process that involves all members of the community, the AFAP is a means of identifying key issues that affect the quality of life for Soldiers, Families, Civilians and other members of the community. In his opening remarks at the Humphreys Theater USAG Humphreys Commander, Col. John E. Dumoulin, Jr. emphasized that AFAP is a means of making Humphreys a better place to live, work and play. During the conference, he said, the participants would have the opportunity to develop and focus on real issues that affect the community. “We won’t resolve everything but we can send the issues up,” he said. Dumoulin said that much had changed as a result of past AFAP actions. Issues such as TRICARE for Life (a health plan for military retirees 65 years and older), an increase in Servicemember’s Group Life Insurance benefits and a reduction in the number of TRICARE regions in America all began as AFAP issues, he said. Two issues last year’s AFAP teams developed here are now at Department of the Army level, Dumoulin said: Spouse employment opportunities in Korea and the School Voucher System. Following the opening remarks the group moved to the CAC where the work sessions began. There were four work groups to address issues and develop recommendations: Force Support and Entitlements I; Housing, Relocation, and Employment; Medical,

Dental, and Family Services; and Force Support and Entitlements II. As the groups began work facilitators urged the members to use strong words and phrases to define their issues and recommended actions because it increased the chances of the issue moving up to the next level AFAP. “You have an opportunity to make a big difference today,” said Bethany Cerella, the facilitator for the Force Support and Entitlements I work group. The work groups debated and discussed their issues throughout the day, narrowing them down until they were ready to present them to the entire forum. Each work group also developed a humorous skit to illustrate one of their issues. They presented the skits Friday morning to the delight of the group. By the end of the sessions the groups had developed these five issues to go forward to the larger AFAP. The issues and recommendations were: • Issue 1 - Availability of Emergency Medical care plan for off post personnel Recommendations-Provide emergency medical services for all USFK personnel when off post. • Issue 2 - KATUSA soldiers unlimited use of AAFES and DECA facilities Recommendations-Authorize the use of all AAFES and DECA facilities to KATUSA Soldiers. Authorize the purchase of Duty Free goods for KATUSA Soldiers. • Issue 3 - Emergency medical billing in Korean hospitals. • Recommendations-Require TRICARE affiliated local hospitals to bill TRICARE directly for 100 percent of emergency medical services. Require TRICARE to develop a pro-rated reimbursement payment plan for any unauthorized balance.

USAG Humphreys recognizes October as Domestic Abuse Awareness month By Andre Butler USAG-H Public Affairs Office HUMPHREYS GARRISON  USAG Humphreys Army Community Services jump started Domestic Abuse Awareness month Oct. 1 with a Proclamation signing by Col. John E. Dumoulin, Jr., USAG Humphreys commander, at the Community Activities Center. The year’s theme is “Army Strong, Family Strong.” Throughout the month, Family Advocacy Program officials have classes and workshops scheduled to assist those experiencing issues concerning domestic violence or abuse. “We want the community to know that there is zero tolerance for domestic abuse at USAG Humphreys,” said Camille Jackson, a Family Advocacy specialist for Humphreys Army Community Services. “There is no excuse for these types of actions,” she said. According to Jackson, high profile incidents of violence against women in the military, including five domestic homicides at Fort Bragg, N.C. in 2002 and allegations of sexual assault in the United States Air Force Academy have led to an increase in awareness of violence against women in the military, just as it is in the civilian population. “Our commitment to this cause is demonstrated by programs and policies designed to reduce and prevent domestic violence and to assist victims,” Jackson said. “We also offer professional treatment for both victims and offenders,” said Jackson. “We want to educate our troops about this issue and hold those who commit these acts of violence accountable for their actions,” she said. Awareness about domestic abuse is one of the overall missions for AFAP members. “Primarily our role is prevention and education,” said Melissa Lilliewood, USAG Humphreys Family Advocacy Program manager. “And we work toward stopping the violence before it gets started,” she said. The services that AFAP provides are for all members

There is no one particular group of individuals who’re targeted. “We provide prevention on all levels,” Lilliewood said. “That includes the community at large -- Soldiers as well as people who are at risk for any reason,” she said. AFAP has a number of programs in place that can help assist with prevention. Anger and stress management classes are provided weekly at ACS. AFAP conducted a cross-cultural martial workshop Oct. 12, to educate couples on how to deal with cultural differences. A communication’s workshop will be held Oct. 23 at Humphreys ACS. Jackson said this workshop is for anyone involved in a relationship.

The workshop is also for those who’re planning on establishing a relationship in the future. The next information table will be set up at the Blackhorse Dining Facility at USAG Humphreys. “As a community, we must learn to recognize signs of stress and anger,” said Jackson. “Then we can provide assistance to those who are in need,” she said. “We must encourage individuals to seek professional help if the cycle of violence is to be broken.” Editors Note: There is a relationship building workshop scheduled for today at the CAC from 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Army Family Action Plan

Area teens take part in AFAP conference By Bob McElroy USAG-H Public Affairs Office HUMPHREYS GARRISON — Days before the larger Army Family Action Plan conference eight Humphreys teens gathered on Oct. 5 at the Youth Center and developed their own AFAP issue to send forward. Among the topics they discussed were: there are not enough shuttle buses running on post during the weekends; there is no overhead cover at the off-post school bus stops; there should be a newcomer’s briefing for teens just as there is for Soldiers and Spouses and Morale, Welfare and Recreation activities should be made more available to teens. After considerable discussion the teens decided to bring the MWR availability issue forward to the Humphreys AFAP Conference. The Teen issue was: Age limits at MWR recreational activities. Their recommendations were: Have liability waivers for age specific MWR recreational activities and establish designated times for Teens. The teens presented their issue to the Humphreys AFAP on Oct. 12. Charlie Altvater (right) and Vivien Deboar discuss issues during the conference. — U.S. Army Photo By Bob McElroy.

Employers, potential employees search for the right fit at Daegu’s 2007 Job Fair

(Left) A company representative has an attentive audience as he explains to Soldiers the benefits of working for his organization. (Right) Networking was the name of the game at USAG Daegu’s Job Fair, as prospective employers from the U.S. and Korea met curious job and information seekers at the Evergreen Club, Oct. 10. — U.S. Army Photos By Park Hye-ji by Ronald D. Inman USAG Daegu Public Affairs CAMP WALKER — More than 200 job seekers met with more than 20 employers from the United States and the Korean peninsula during USAG Daegu’s annual Job Fair, held Oct. 10 at Camp Walker’s Evergreen Club. “It’s very difficult for people in Korea who are transitioning out of the military or trying to find jobs here,” said Army Career and Alumni Program Counselor Georgia Solseth. “The job fair brings quite a few employers to one place, where attendees can get information and pass out their resumes. It makes job acquisition just a little bit easier.” Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems, CACI, L-3 Communications, STG Inc., ITT Corp. Systems Division, Lucas Group, Blackwater USA and Radiance Technologies were just some of the employers present at the fair. They sought employees in a variety of fields, such as information technology, security, logistics, engineering, sales, management, mechanics, intelligence analysis, business development, training, distribution and systems administration. According to Solseth, the job fair was done in cooperation with Army Community Ser vices’ Employment Readiness Program. ACAP provides pre-separation briefings, transition assistance workshops, counseling related to benefits and the job search process and computers and reference materials to aid all Soldiers with a minimum of 180 days of active duty at the time of their retirement or separation, and to retirees and their family members for life. ERP provides the same range of services as ACAP – but for GS/NAF, DoDDS, DECA, AAFES and private contractor

employees as well. That mix was represented by the turnout for the job fair – 98 active duty, 62 family members, 35 Civilians/contractors and 8 Retirees attended. “We’re here looking for candidates to fill vacancies in our operations in Korea, as well as Japan and Hawaii,” said Bob Bradshaw, department manager for Korean operations, Northrop Grumman. “All of our work is with the U.S. military, mostly with the U.S. Army, so we look for current or former Servicemembers, with the security

clearances and the experience to do the work. We’ve been here at this job fair for the last five years running.” On the other side of the room, Troy Denson, 19th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) legal assistance officer, scanned BAE Systems’ literature, “Just to see what’s available, for the opportunities for jobs as far as contracting, peninsula-wide… logistics and technician-type positions. I was a logistics officer in the Army for 12 years.” Denson was particularly interested in

Soldiers line up to see materials offered by one of the companies attendng the job fair. Information on more than 20 companies was available to job-seekers and those who visited the fair.

BAE, which, according to the company’s Web site, “is a global company engaged in the development, delivery and support of advanced defence and aerospace systems in the air, on land and at sea.” “They’re the third-largest defense contractor in the world, and they’re very popular, as far as their customer base goes,” explained Denson. “It’s really interesting to see all the applications they have for Army and civilian personnel here. “This is the best job fair I’ve been to in my three years here,” said Denson, adding that he’s been to other area job fairs in Korea during that time, “the best turnout, also, for both employers and employees.” As dozens of job-and information-seekers made their way around the crowded room and interacted with company representatives, Contractor Installation Manager Carl W. Reed carefully observed the orchestrated chaos with an approving eye. He manages the ACAP offices at Yongsan and Camp Henry. “We do this at least once a year, either in the fall or spring, and we bring employers from the United States, national and local, and prepare a job fair for our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines, as well as family members, in conjunction with ACS ERP,” Reed said. “We cover family members, military spouses and active duty personnel who are leaving or who have retired from the service – one-stop shopping for jobs.” “It’s a very nice turnout,” said Reed of Daegu’s job fair. “Daegu has always been a very good turnout, and very supportive. We work very hard to get the companies here, and the turnout is very important to us. “It’s a win-win situation for employers and attendees,” concluded Solseth of the job fair. If you missed this year’s job fair, contact Camp Henry’s ACAP office at 768-7571, or ACS ERP at 768-7951 for assistance.

THE MORNING CALM

The two main venues for the festival were staged at the Shincheon River and Dongseong Road. Before the festival, Lumiarte, composed of thousands of lights, aroused public curiosity as it wound along a bridge and a through a forest path, along with formative art displays. “I think the people who planned this prepared very hard. I really enjoyed the festival,” said Susannah Younger of Scotland. “I checked the schedules and picked several performances that I will see. I missed the Samul-no-li (traditional Korean instruments performance) yesterday, but today I was

glad to see the Taekwon military arts. Also, I am looking forward to the flute player later on.” A variety of booths offered visitors, both adults and children, the chance to experience and enjoy works of paper, industrial arts, traditional amusements and face painting. Families and couples came out together to take pictures, smiling happily against a backdrop of thousands of colorfully glittering lights and art displays. The main performance, ‘Daegu Fantasy - Soar Up with Dragon’s Dream’, was held at a stage on the water’s surface. During the 100minute show, a city arts group, military band and orchestra performed harmoniously. An image show with lasers presented a magnificent spectacle, which caused viewers’ emotions to soar, reaching the summit with the end of the performance. “Shincheon was just a common river before, but with this festival, Shincheon became very vivid and alive. Like this colorful festival presents, the variety of colors and lights are very beautiful,” said Eun-sum Ju, who enjoyed the festival with her daughter. If Shincheon was the place for interactive culture and art, Dongseong Road was the place of youth and passion. Along Dongseong Road, popular with young people, comics, B-boys, jazz dancers and rock bands performed. Many people enthusiastically participated in the performances. “This festival gave us a chance to really enjoy and participate in [the performances],” said Sunggeun Park, at the rock band’s show. “I could get rid of all my stress by jumping and shouting along with the rock music.” The three-day festival is over. The lights have been turned off, the displays removed

Kindergartners learn fire prevention at Carroll by Cpl. Jang Won-il USAG Daegu Public Affairs

CAMP CARROLL — “Fire fighters are our friends!” shouted the local children of Chilgok County during a visit by more than 80 students from Chilgok Montessori kindergarten to Camp Carroll’s fire station Oct. 10. The students participated in a fire prevention class and watched fire fighters demonstrate fire extinguishing procedures. The day’s event was part of “Fire Prevention Week,” observed Oct. 7 – 13 throughout the United States and its world-wide installations. The week marks the anniversary of the great Chicago fire of Oct. 9, 1871, which was one of the worst fire disasters in America’s history. The fire took 250 lives and destroyed 17,430 buildings. Fire Prevention Week has been held internationally every year, and has been sponsored by the National Fire Prevention Association. This year’s theme for Fire Prevention Week was “Practice Your Escape Plan.” Throughout the week, Camp Carroll Fire Department had scheduled various fi re safety programs, one of which was the fire prevention class and demonstrations for the Chilgok Montessori kindergarteners. “The kids seemed to have enjoyed it,” said Lee, Yeon-jung, one of eight teachers who participated in the day’s events. “It was a very helpful experience, and also very interesting because you don’t get too many opportunities to actually play

around with fire fighting equipment outside. I had fun myself as well,” she said. The 5-year-old Montessori kindergarten students were given the opportunity to observe and touch gear worn by fire fighters. They also experienced putting out real fires using fire extinguishers, and used water hoses to shoot water from a fire truck with the assistance of Camp Carroll fire crews. Camp Carroll Fire Department has engaged in such events with the local community once every year. Last year, the fire crew visited a local elementary school to conduct a similar fire safety

education session. However, Camp Carroll Fire Inspector Pae, Chin-hyon thinks there is room for improvement. “Having such a great program only once a year is not enough,” said Pae. “I hope we get more chances to open up to the public. It would be great for both the fire department and the community to have more opportunities to gather and build a stronger relationship.” There are three USAG Daegu fire stations loacted on Camp Walker, Camp Henry and Camp Carroll respectively. Each of these fire stations are always ready to support and assist the local Korean community.

by Cpl. Na Kyung-chul USAG Daegu Public Affairs CAMP CARROLL — Local soccer teams pitted their skills against each other Oct. 12- 13 at Camp Carroll’s Story Field in a contest for the right to represent USAG Daegu at the upcoming Eighth Army Company Level Soccer Championship. When it was over, the garrison’s own team had earned the right to represent the garrison for the second year running, by defeating 6th

Ordnance’s squad in a hard-fought 4-3 battle in which the outcome was decided just before the game’s finishing whistle. Weather was perfect for soccer, with cool autumn weather and pristine field conditions on the recently renovated artificial turf field. Four teams representing United States Army Garrison Daegu, 36th Signal Battalion/168th Medical Battalion, 6th Ordnance Battalion and 501st Sustainment Brigade competed for the right to kiss the

victory trophy and be declared Daegu’s champions. USAG Daegu advanced to the final by defeating 501st Sustainment Brigade 4-1 and 6th Ordnance Bn. 2-1. 6th Ordnance Bn. advanced to the final by outscoring 36th Signal Bn. /168th Medical Bn. 2-0 and 501st Sustainment Brigade 2-1. At first, it was expected that USAG Daegu would win easily against 6th Ordnance when they quickly scored two goals early in the match. But 6th Ordnance

had come to play to win, and fired back with two goals of their own. USAG Daegu found the back of the net again — only to have 6th Ordnance answer right back with their own strike. Just seconds before the end of the match, USAG Daegu’s Johnny Blackett used his left foot to put the final nail in 6th Ordnance’s coffin and propel his team to the top of the table as champion of Daegu’s military teams. “I’m glad to take first prize two years in succession,” said Capt. Kim Jong-sang, USAG Daegu ROKA Staff Officer. “It was a great opportunity to unify KATUSA Soldiers and U.S. Soldiers into one team. I’ll never forget this time with my Soldiers.” “We don’t have many opportunities to be with other units’ Soldiers,” said Sgt. Shin Seung-hwan, USAG Daegu Chaplain Assistant. “It was good to meet and have soccer games with other unit’s Soldiers. Furthermore, we became a champion again and I thank God for all of these.” USAG Daegu and runner-up 6th Ordnance advance to the 2007 Eighth Army Company Level Soccer Championships, Oct. 25 – 27 at Story Field on Camp Carroll.
