A Program Executive Officer
(PEO) summit met Sept. 3 and 4 at
Fort Sill as senior leaders from the
materiel development community
and the Fires Center of Excellence
(FCoE) exchanged vision, priority
and strategy.
The semi-annual event also gave
Maj. Gen. John Rossi, Fort Sill and

adviser, said the summit kept lines
of communication open between
materiel developers and the FCoE.
It also reiterated the Fires vision
and the role it plays with all contributing offices.
“This continuous dialogue reinforces to all what the Fires priorities are and helps prioritize
materiel developers’ efforts to
meet those priorities,” said
Wilson.
The PEO website states its mission is to develop, acquire, field
and sustain affordable ... equipment to improve Soldier dominance in Army operations today
and in the future.

It has been almost two and a half
years since the May 20, 2012, suicide bomber attack on the Soldiers
from the Fort Sill based 214th Fires
Brigade in Afghanistan that killed
two officers, numerous Afghan
adults and children, and left 1st Lt.
Ryan Timoney unconscious on the
roadside.
For all those involved, recovery
is still a continuing process they
battle everyday, especially newly
promoted Captain Timoney.
After the attack,Timoney, a field
artillery platoon leader, regained
consciousness following 12 days
of treatment at Walter Reed
National Military Medical Center
in Maryland. Even so, he was still
extremely disoriented.
“It took a period of two months
to regain meaningful consciousness as several ball bearings went
into or through my body, including
a bearing that flew straight
through my brain, entering
through the left and stopping after
hitting the interior of the right side
of my skull,”he said.
Part of his skull had to be

The Fires community welcomed a general
officer to its ranks with the promotion of Col.
Christopher Spillman to brigadier general
Sept. 5, at the Old Post Quadrangle here.
Spillman is the 40th Army Air Defense
Artillery School commandant and chief of
ADA.
Hundreds of service members, DA civilians,
family, friends and community leaders attended the 9 a.m. ceremony to honor Spillman, a
former assistant commandant of the ADA
School.
In his invocation, Chaplain (Col.) Matthew
Pawlikowski, Fort Sill Garrison chaplain said:

AIR
FIELD,
Afghanistan — When a suicide
bomber detonated his vehicle near
a U.S. Army convoy Aug. 24, in
Nangarhar province, Afghanistan,
it tested all their training and would
be a clear reminder that their war
was far from over.
The blast sent a six-man crew
into the air and continued to roll
their 15-ton vehicle off the road
after it landed.
During the blast, Spc. Kelii Torres,
a

observer
with
Headquarters and Headquarters
Company, 1st Battalion, 502nd
Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade
Combat Team, 101st Airborne
Division (Air Assault), was knocked
out and woke up to the confusion
that was caused by a concussion.
“We were sitting back there and
heard a loud explosion,”he recalled.
“For a moment, I didn’t know who it
hit until I felt our vehicle go up in
the air when it went up in the air; it
was all in slow motion.”
See PURPLE HEART, Page 3A
“Through his promotion to brigadier general,
may we see a clearer and brighter vision of the
future of not only the air defense artillery, but
the Army entire.Through his leadership and in
his administration of law, regulation and justice, may we see vice restrained, and virtue and
discipline increased.”
Ceremony host Maj. Gen. John Rossi, Fires
Center of Excellence and For Sill commanding
general, welcomed Spillman to the general
officer ranks, noting there are only about 200
brigadier generals in the half-million activeduty Army.
“The ratio is pretty significant of the span
and control and duties they have,”Rossi said.

donned the SAMC medallion after
proving themselves worthy.
“I feel like it’s a culminating
event for myself and a lot of people. I don’t feel like this award is
just mine because a lot of people
helped me get here. People had to
believe in me and obviously them
to put us in this position and help
us get ready and give us their
experiences and their guidance in
order to be where we’re at right
now, and now it’s our turn,” said
Delgado.
Command Sgt. Maj. Brian
Lindsey,
Fires
Center
of
Excellence and Fort Sill CSM, was
the guest speaker. He said the
three inductees were the example
to follow when speaking of good
leadership.
“We must always remember that
as a leader none of us are given
the authority, status and position
as a personal reward to enjoy for
comfort. We are given them so that
we may be of greater service to
our subordinates, units and fami-
lies. A noncommissioned officer
cannot lead without determination,”said Lindsey.“As a leader you
don’t choose the best or most
opportune times to lead. A good
leader takes the challenge whenever and wherever it presents
itself.”
Each inductee took up the challenge to strive to be a part of the
distinguished club and the process
took months, and in some cases
years, to accomplish.

In this instance affordable
is certainly a key word.
Rossi expressed the luxury
of allocating money to technological concepts that do
not clearly demonstrate
added value toward future
requirements
is
gone.
However, the summit provided a forum for parties to
clarify where value would be
added toward capability
gaps, to prioritize them and
to identify where risk must
be assumed. By achieving a
common
understanding,
summit participants departed with a better understanding of Fire’s portfolio priorities and how to apply
resources to exercise fiscal
discipline.
The summit looked at
developmental and materiel
solutions for both Fires
branches moving through
the Program Objective
Management process, a
near-term period until 2021,
and the Long Range
Investment Requirements
Analysis (LIRA), that reaches out to 2048. This process
looks at dated capability as
well as planned-for and projected weapons systems, and
considers alternatives that
will come with time.
“We know with technology there are things that
become obsolete. There’s a
value in knowing when this
may occur, or when threats
may change. That is a good
indication that there needs
to be a solution past that
obsolete time frame. Though
we cannot describe what
that solution may be, instead
the CG communicates a
vision from which we can
place science and technology dollars to get after determinants that will shape
materiel solutions 20 to 30
years from now,” said
Wilson.
Although the summit primarily looked at materiel,
the CG’s vision also communicated aspects of training
and leader development that
will impact everyone. Wilson
said analysis may suggest
changes to force structure or
what is taught in the artillery
schoolhouses.
“This may also further
determine the responsibilities of our officers, noncommissioned and Soldiers as
we change our force structure to be more lethal and
more efficient,”he said.
However, any analysis,
debate
or
discussion
though returns to one central idea.
“The constant repeat of
the vision for others to
assimilate helps everyone
move forward in understanding how it pertains to
them,” said Wilson. “It also
helps determine where they
should focus their development and provides insight

into what the future Army
will look like.”
In addition to the CG’s
vision statement being the
focal point of the summit,
strategic communication
messages were scrutinized
as well. Review of these
messages confirmed material developers and the Fires
Center are communicating
along the same lines of
thought.
In turn, this sends a consistent message to Army
leaders of what the priorities
are here, the colonel said.
A third value of the summit pertained to a much
more basic premise: a get
acquainted session. In addition to Rossi, who took command of Fort Sill in June,
many other key leaders only
recently moved into their
current positions.
Wilson added he received
positive feedback from the
PEOs of the Fires Center’s
efforts to hold three key
meetings that engaged the
material development and
research and development
communities within the last
14 months.
“The focused approach
will shape and share the
Fires vision so that capability gaps are addressed and
solution sets are determined
with a unified voice,”he said.
“The summit further
strengthened a cohesive
team as we go into these
periods of industry engagements, POM and LIRA in
building the Fires future,”
said Wilson.
The summit was one of
the first events in which
Rossi will share his vision
for Fires. In a later gathering, scheduled for Sept. 26,
Rossi will convey his intent
for advancing institutional
and operational Fires training and promoting effective
support to Soldiers and families at Fort Sill.

plenty of talent in the
colonel ranks, but Spillman
was selected because he is
the consummate quiet professional, and a well-rounded officer.
“This guy is ‘steady Eddie.’
There’s no flash, there’s no
drama, there’s no calling you
for everything,” Rossi said.
He just makes it happen.
Although some colonels
may have significant expertise in a single dimension,
Spillman “has done just
about everything for the
Army in some very tough
jobs,”Rossi said.
He was a short-range air
defense officer, a Patriot missile officer, he’s commanded
at every level, he’s trained
leaders at the then-Battle
Command Training Program
at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.,
and he’s deployed worldwide, Rossi said.
Rossi described Spillman
as a visionary.
“He’s three steps ahead of
most people, already thinking out what he’s going to
do,” Rossi said. “He breaks
the barriers of groupthink
instantly and he’s an
aggressive thinker.”
During the ceremony,
Rossi presented Spillman

Spillman said he was
thrilled to be able to continue in the Army, and couldn’t
think of a more rewarding
profession than be a Soldier.
“I’ve been very fortunate
because I’ve had the opportunity to ride on the shoulders of many, many great
Soldiers
and
leaders
throughout
my
Army
career,” said Spillman, who
is a 1985 ROTC graduate of
California State University San Bernadino.
Spillman thanked a dozen
Soldiers, officer and enlisted, by name and friends
who helped inspire and
shape him as a leader.
One of those was Wiggins,
whom he called “the finest
noncommissioned officer
I’ve ever known. He’s just an
incredible natural leader.”

Then, smoke filled the compartment of
their MAXPRO and when it started to roll, he
was knocked unconscious.
When he hit his head on radio equipment,
he remembered, for a split second, that he
was going to die, but then, he woke up to Spc.
Dalton Trimble, their gunner who was
thrown from the vehicle, yelling for his rifle.
“My first thought was that I needed to get
out and pull security,”he said.“Then, I started
to check if everyone was all right.”
Within seconds, their squad leaders, their
platoon sergeant, Sgt. 1st Class Justin
Richardson, and their unit medic Spc.
Michael Wayman, who Torres affectionately
called “Doc,”came running to their aid.
Meanwhile, Dinh, their driver, was shaken
up, but alert. He quickly went to his platoon
leader’s aid and cut him out of his seat belt.
Most of the six-man crew survived the
incident with short-term injuries while the
rest will undergo recovery time in America.
The crew, by all accounts, performed their
duties after the blast as they have been
trained to do.
“As a platoon sergeant, I’m extremely
proud of how they all performed,” said
Richardson. “All the guys performed above
and beyond that day they knew what to do
and executed quickly which made the evacuation fast.”

was the first that left the Soldiers still wondering how this could have happened to them.
Back at Forward Operating Base Fenty’s
Charlie Medical Clinic, Torres was still in
shock and the events of the day were surreal,
but in the quiet, and with his fellow
crewmembers, he began to break down.
“I started crying,”Torres admitted.“Trimble
kept telling me that it was all right.”
As time passed,Torres said he took hold of
his emotions and by knowing everyone else
in his team was all right as well, he rushed to
the phone to call his wife, Keano, in
Clarksville,Tenn.
“She was a wreck, but she was glad to
know that I was OK,”he said.
He also called his father, Ernest Torres, a
retired sergeant first class, who lives in
Lawton.
Although he’s happy to be going home
tohis wife he’s upset to be leaving his combat
brethren behind at FOB Fenty.
“I just wanted that big welcome home ceremony with them but I’ll be there to welcome
them home,”he said.

properly with his prosthetic,
but it is a piano class that he
says has been the best therapy for his brain.
“Arthur Bloom, a composer
and
pianist,
created
Musicorps, which is a charity
that puts instruments into the
hands and limbs of wounded
warriors and teaches them to
play,” said Timoney. “Playing
music involves many different parts of the brain, and
learning to play the piano has
helped me improve my memory, coordination and ability
to multitask.”
Playing the piano is something he looks forward to
and shows him the strides of
improvement he is making.
“Old brains can learn new
tricks; I highly recommend
learning to play an instrument,”he said.
Though his time as a
patient is not very enjoyable, he keeps a positive attitude through the challenges
and appreciates the opportunities afforded to him.
“I won’t complain about
daily life here because when
something is exciting, it usually is not a good thing. I have
been trying to take advantage of the time that I have to

Jacksonville, Fla. in August.

prepare for my next phase in
life, personally and professionally, while doing things
that I enjoy like reading and
playing board games.”
He credits the many great
people who have helped him
through his roughest phases
for giving their all during
his many times of need.
“My wife, Kelby, was my
girlfriend when I deployed,
and upon hearing of my
injury, she left everything
behind to be with me. My
parents, Greg and Diane,
were also with me through
the worst of it as well as
other family members who
have helped and supported
me in every way possible.”
Kelby has stayed with
Timoney on the East Coast
since the attack, eventually
getting married in Florida in
March of last year.
Through all the hard
times, he is extremely thankful for the medical staff who
have aided him each day
these past few years.
“In my experience, the
uniformed doctors and
nurses have been reliably
honest, dedicated and good
at their jobs,”he said.“I have
had my life in their hands
several times now and have
a deep respect for what they
do and their work ethic.”
Along with the struggles
of everyday medical treatment, Timoney fell victim to
theft of his medical docu-
3A
ments by an employee while
in treatment at a hospital in
Florida. Police later found
the documents and fingerprints of a criminal who
would later plead guilty and
was sentenced to six years
in prison. Timoney and his
wife participated in the sentencing and feel fortunate
that the theft of his identity
did not cause as much damage as it could have.
Timoney and Kelby, along
with their dog Nemo,are living
at Walter Reed and plan to
move to Austin,Texas,upon his
pending medical retirement.
Army Wounded Warrior
units work to ensure each
injured Soldier receives the
best treatment available and
is cared for as much as possible before transitioning
them through the retirement
process. Timoney is almost
at the end of the treatment
process as he is awaiting
final paperwork and ratings
from the Army and Veterans
Affairs disability boards.
Upon retirement, he plans
to return to school to earn a
graduate degree in math or
economics. He hopes to be in
Texas within the next year
and start school in the next
two years. He is fully aware
that being a student is going
to bring on tough challenges,
but is ready to take it on.
“Since I cannot read as
well as most students and
am limited by my seizures
and medications, it is going
to take me longer but
patience and discipline will
be my key contributors to my
success at school and any
other project I may begin.”
The 214th Fires Brigade
plans to welcome Timoney
and his wife as the hosts of
this year’s Fallen Soldier
Memorial Run Nov. 26 here.
The run started three years
ago following the attack that
Timoney was involved in.
“I am an easily identified
veteran of a popular war and
have received a tremendous
amount of support, but others
have not been as fortunate,”
he said. “The next time you
find a veteran from Vietnam,
Iraq or Afghanistan, or any
of our other wars, let them
know that you appreciate
their sacrifices, even if you
don’t understand them, you
might change a life.”

Post brigade hosts blood drive
Story, photo
By Spc. Joe Dees
214th Fires Brigade
Soldiers from batteries
and battalions throughout
the 214th Fires Brigade
came together Sept. 2 to do
their part in saving lives and
serving the Lawton-Fort Sill
community with a daylong
blood drive.
American Red Cross
trucks pulled up to brigade
headquarters that morning,
and the phlebotomists wasted no time in their task: transforming a conference room
into a fully functional and
efficient blood donation center. Tables and chairs were
moved out or stacked aside,
cubicles were erected to serve
as information processing
centers and chairs were
aligned into waiting areas.
Red Cross vehicles continued to arrive and more and
more workers bustled about
wearing blue scrubs under
long, white lab coats, some
checking equipment and
others preparing snacks for
the Soldiers resting and
recovering. This dedication
and mobility on the part of
the American Red Cross was
critical to the scale of the
blood drive’s success.
“Donating from right here
at brigade headquarters is
really convenient,” said Staff
Sgt.
Jason
LeClerc,
Headquarters
and
Headquarters Battery, 214th
Fires Brigade. “I will admit
that I haven’t given blood in
almost 10 years, but with
this happening right here I
had no more excuses.”
Throughout the day,
Soldiers streamed into the
donation center offering
their time and blood in the
hopes of enriching and saving lives, but unfortunately
several were turned away
because of recent travels to
the
Middle
East
or
Afghanistan, a factor the
American Red Cross says is
common in military blood
drives. All told, the “Leaders
Brigade” had over 50
Soldiers donate over 60
pints of blood, beating the
organizer’s goal by more
than 20 percent.
“I donate blood every
chance I get,” said a smiling

Sgt. Amber Harris, 696th Forward Support Company, watches as a phlebotomist from the American Red Cross prepares to draw blood. The 214th Fires Brigade held a blood
drive at brigade headquarters Sept. 2, and over 50 Soldiers
donated more than 60 pints of blood.
Artillery, as she watched the
phlebotomist prepare her
arm. “Somebody’s donated
blood saved my Tata’s
[grandfather’s] life, and I like
that by doing something this
simple and easy I can do the
same for somebody else’s
loved one.”
According
to
the
American Red Cross, 9.2
million Americans donate
over 15.7 million pints of
blood per year and each pint
can save up to three lives.
The Soldiers of the 214th
Fires Brigade continue to
lead and serve their country
and community on and off
the battlefield.
If you are interested in
being a leader and lifesaver
by donating blood, contact
the American Red Cross or
find more information at
www.redcrossblood.org.
The American Red Cross
at
Reynolds
Army
Community Hospital, in
partnership with the Dental
Activity, Fort Sill, will offer
dental assistant training for
military sponsored ID card
holders beginning Jan. 6.
Through the training ID
card holders may obtain
training that will make them
marketable for civilian sector jobs. Application packets
can be picked up at the
American Red Cross office
at RACH on the third Floor,
or
at
DENTAC
Headquarters,
Sheridan
Hall, Bldg. 652 Hamilton
Road. Applications must
returned by Nov. 14.
Interviews for the six
available slots will begin the
first week of December.
The dental assistant training is a five-month, 40-hourper-week
program.
It
includes 120 hours of classroom instruction. Participants will also gain 500
hours of chair side instruction.
Selection will be determined via interview. Those
selected will receive intense
training in all aspects of dental assisting from dental
radiology to dental anatomy,
and from sterilizing dental
instruments to chair side
clinic time.
Application packets specify all preliminary requirements, criteria and guidelines that will determine
selection of trainees, as well
as standards of conduct
required of the selectees.
Questions can be directed to
the Red Cross at 580-5582132.
Those selected must be
prepared to complete Red
Cross online in-processing
and orientation, acquire all
necessary immunizations
and other additional program specific training, to
include basic lifesaving.
Selectees must also be prepared to provide their own
transportation and child
care during training.
Appreciation days offer free estate planning to retirees, families
Courtesy Fort Sill
Legal Assistance Office
Fort Sill staff judge advocates
will again offer free estate planning legal assistance to retired
service members and their spouses
attending the 36th Annual Retiree
Appreciation Days Sept. 18-19
here.
To help ensure they can be seen
by an attorney, retirees should
schedule legal assistance appointments in advance of the event.
To provide the best services,
each spouse will see a separate
attorney and will require individ-
ual appointments. Legal assistance is in the Welcome Center,
Building 4700 Mow-Way Road,
fourth floor.
Attorneys will prepare wills,
advance directives, medical and
durable powers of attorney and
revocable transfer on death deeds
to help clients put their legal
affairs in order.
Retirees may call 580-4425058/5059 to schedule individual
appointments and request an
estate planning questionnaire they
need to complete before their
appointments.
An advance directive, or living
will, is a valuable document
informing family members and
health care providers of the lifesustaining treatment one wants to
receive or decline if terminally ill,
persistently unconscious or suffering from the end stage of a progressive, deteriorating disease.
Organ donation may also be elected if desired.
A power of attorney legally
empowers an individual to act on
behalf of another. A durable power
of attorney remains effective even
if the principal becomes incapacitated or incompetent. It allows the
person named to make decisions
and act during periods of incapacity.This may help avoid what could
otherwise be an expensive
guardianship or conservatorship
proceeding for an incapacitated or
incompetent adult.
A revocable transfer on death
deed is available to clients owning
real property in Oklahoma. The
deed enables the owner to transfer
legal title to his or her real property to another person upon the
owner’s death, without that property having to go through the probate process. Clients who want to
create a transfer on death deed
will need to bring a copy of the
property title deed with them to
their appointment.
Preparing an estate plan
includes making advance decisions about end-of-life treatment
and appointing an agent who will
act for you if you become unable to
make decisions for yourself. This
can provide personal peace of
mind and relieve family members
of making difficult decisions at
times of great stress.
Again, there is no charge to
retirees and their eligible family
members for these important legal
services.

Exercise tests mutual support
By Capt. Jeffrey Caslen
75th Field Artillery Brigade PAO
The 75th Field Artillery Brigade exercised
with 1st Squadron, 6th Air Cavalry Sept. 4-5
here.
First-6th Cav is stationed at Fort Riley,
Kan., and is part of 1st Infantry Division’s
Combat Aviation Brigade. The training
event was a rare occurrence for the 75th, as
the brigade trains on the suppression of air
defense missions, but never with actual aviation assets close by.
“The Air Force relies on our rockets and
missiles to suppress the enemy so they have
a safe path to their targets,”said 1st Lt. Nick
Bowers, 75th FA Brigade fire control officer.
Although the Air Force was not training,
1-6th Cav’s maneuvers simulated having
jets flying nearby. Helicopters and fixedwinged aircraft follow the same protocols in
the air when a unit is firing artillery. It takes
a lot of planning and coordination to ensure
aviation assets are safe in the air while rockets are flying at targets in their direction.
“It is important that we’re able to synchronize our fires with the helicopters in the air,
because if they fly in the area before all the
rounds land, the effects on the ground can
damage the helicopters in the air,”explained
Bowers.
“We set up air corridors that restrict
movement of air assets for a certain amount
of time. Once the final round lands, the hel-

unit’s activities in the field. Ghika is a British Army general on assignment at Fort Riley.
icopters can fly in and engage their targets,”
he continued.“It’s pretty impressive to see it
happen — even if it’s training.”
Synchronizing training with artillery
units is not common for aviation units. A
majority of the time, aviation assets will
simulate artillery during their training.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Clayton Cable was
one of the 14 OH-58 Kiowa pilots who flew
the four-hour flight from Fort Riley, for the
training here.
“We don’t do too much training with
artillery, so this is really cool to do,” said
Cable.“Actually, I have never done this with
live rounds. It’s a bit eerie to see a rocket
coming at [your direction] while you’re in
the air.”
The Kiowa helicopter is an aerial platform
that flies reconnaissance and security missions. During operations Iraqi Freedom and
Enduring Freedom, they performed many
close combat attack missions, supporting
forces on the ground that were in contact
with enemy forces.
After 13 years of counter-insurgency style
combat, 1-6th Cav is returning back to traditional training for linear wars. It is important for these Kiowa pilots to learn how to
call for fire while in the air so they can continue their mission.
“Artillery is our primary means to continue if we get in contact,”said Cable.“If we can
use artillery instead of our weapons, we will
use it.”

“Our team motto this year is:
Team matters more than ability,”
said Rivera. “Team building starts
with the team and a sense of values. I look at how well they work
together, if they work as a team for
a common goal, their sense of values and their athletic ability.”
Among those players seeking to
three-peat in the tournament is
Fort Sill Staff Sgt. Dane Miller, A
Battery, 2nd Battalion, 18th Field
Artillery, who made the team for a
second year in a row.
“I feel honored to be selected to
the team and couldn’t do this without the support from my family
and especially my chain of command including my commander,
Captain Gregory Chaney, and my
platoon leader, Second Lieutenant
Charlie Lawrence,” he said.“I have
the same excitement as last year
and now that I’ve been here a year,
it’s much more intense because we
are defending the gold for the second time.”
Rivera said the character of the

A triathlete begins the wet, windy cycling portion of the Body vs. Earth
Triathlon Sept. 6 at LETRA. The weather played a role slowing down the
top finishers’ times by several minutes from past years, said race organizers.
Triathletes overcome earth, contend with rain
The top women’s finisher was Deirdre
Morgenthaler with a time of 1:51:53.
Shane Dunlevy, Fort Sill Community
Recreation officer, described the event as “a
short, fun triathlon.
“Most triathlons end with a run on hard
pavement, but ours ends with a little twist — a
trail run,”he said.“Participants have told us that
it’s a hard run, but that they enjoy it.”
Before the start, swimmers sat in the lake’s
warm water. They groaned as Dunlevy called
them out for a safety and rules brief. The wet
swimmers shivered as the temperature in the
low 60s and strong winds chilled their bodies.
Dunlevy said the athletes’ safety was paramount, and officials monitored weather
reports. Any threat of lightning would have
aborted the event.

The Body vs. Earth Triathlon was also versus
weather as heavy rains and winds played a role
in the 16th annual event Sept. 6.
Despite the conditions, 73 athletes participated in the 500-meter swim, 18-mile bicycle race
and 4-mile trail run at Lake Elmer Thomas
Recreation Area here.
Scott Anderson, of Cache, finished first with
a time of 1 hour, 12 minutes and 44 seconds.
“It such a great feeling to come up here and
be able to push myself even with the wind and
the rain and to stick with it,”said Anderson, 42,
who is a retiring major with Reynolds Army
Community Hospital and on terminal leave.
“It’s such a mental victory.”
Roller derby
The 580 RollerGirls are hosting their first mashup of
skaters from across the area to

p.m.Tickets are $12 at the door,
$2 off with student or military
ID. Children 12 and under get
in free. For more information
visit www.580rollergirls.com.
“We could have called the event regardless of
where we were in the triathlon,”he said.
Dunlevy said the top finishers usually have a
time around the 55-minute mark, so weather
was a factor in the results.
Anderson said the rain might have helped on
the run.
“The rain kept everything (sand, rocks) kind
of packed down, so I was able to push it the
whole time,”he said.
One athlete noted on the cycling portion the
wind was a cross wind the nine-miles out and
definitely a head wind after the turnaround.
Dunlevy thanked all the athletes.
“We have a lot of repeat participants, and we
enjoy seeing those guys every year and hearing
their war stories about the event,”he said.

Program develops strong Army spouses
(Tracy) Bannister to say no
it’s
the
commander’s
responsibility and depending on what the commander
wants is how the FRG is
going to look. If you don’t
participate, your spouse is
not going to get in trouble.
You’re not going to ruin
their career because you’re
not the FRG leader,” said
Simley.
FRGs were originally created as a means to disseminate information quickly to
family members during a
time of deployment, but
Simley stressed their usefulness during stateside missions as well.
“It’s about being able to
have someone to talk to. If
something happens to you
as a spouse, if your spouse
deployed then you really
might need some help, but
even if your spouse is here,
things like resources available on postdo you know
them? If you don’t then you
can go to your FRG and
they can guide you in the
right direction,”said Simley.
GSAS also covered topics
from Army structure to how
to be a part of a care team in
the case of a casualty in a
unit.
Milam said even though
she has been a military
spouse of 13 years the portion of GSAS pertaining to

Growing Spouses Army
Strong (GSAS) is a program
meant to equip those who are
along for the Army ride with
a better understanding of
what they are undertaking.
“For me personally as a
spouse to have begun very
early on receiving training
on military language, customs and courtesies and
acronyms; it enables me to
have a better communication with my spouse and to
understand more about
what he’s doing and why
he’s having to do it,” said
Rusty Milam, a Fort Sill first
sergeant’s spouse. “It allows
me to have more of a knowledge base which enables me
to feel empowered and to
feel like a part of his career
instead of apart from his
career.”
Originally, GSAS was for
officer spouses only, but
recently they have asked
first sergeant spouses to
attend after the Sergeant
Major of the Army’s wife
visited and made the suggestion.
“They maybe have seen a
lot of this, but they are a
great resource for the captain and lieutenant spouses
to give them guidance as
well,” said Melita Simley,
GSAS adviser.
GSAS covers the gamut of
what
a
spouse
may
encounter, but a good portion of the course deals with
how a spouse may find a
sense of community with
social media was eye opening.
The course, Social Media
Awareness taught by Lt. Col.
Rory Crooks, Strategic
Communications commander, and John Dorsey, strategic
planner, is meant to give the
spouses a better understanding of how much impact
social media can have.
“When my husband first
went to Iraq our communication was letters and that
one phone call a month after
he stood in line for hours to
talk for five to seven minutes
on the phone,”said Milam.
She said the next time he
deployed they were able to
talk over Skype and the phone
calls were more frequent.
“Communication has just
kept getting easier ... at the
same time allowing communication to be more dangerous to our troops and also to
the families left behind,”said
Milam.
The class teaches the
spouses about operational
security and how it’s seldom
one piece of information
shared online that leads to a
violation.
“The person out there
that’s doing their due diligence is checking any pages
that are affiliated with that
unit and using bits and
pieces of what they get to
form the picture,” said
Dorsey.
Students in Growing Spouses Army Strong (GSAS) work
together to come up with solutions to different hypothetical
situations dealing with family readiness groups Sept. 4 at
the Graham Resiliency Training Center. GSAS is a four-day
course that helps spouses better understand Army life and
know what resources are available to them as they support
their Soldiers.
those who are experiencing GSAS explains it is not
the military in a similar way required.
“They think they have to
— through the unit’s family
be the FRG leader, or coreadiness group.
“We’re rebuilding our leader and we bring in Col.

this was a good time for me
to experience this course,”
said Milam.

He said as technology
grows exponentially the
spouses need to be aware of
things that may unintentionally cause harm like geotagging.
“Understanding that if you
have that service turned on
on your phone and then you
post photos the GPS information is embedded in those
photos.”
The class also teaches
spouses how to properly
begin their FRG roles
through
social
media.
Dorsey said any public facing medium representing
the Army, like a unit FRG
page,
requires
prior
approval from the post public affairs office.
“The first thing you need
to do, whether you’re taking
over a Facebook page, or
you’re launching a new one,
is to call 580-442-4500 and
talk to PAO and one let them
know what you’re about to
undertake or what you’re
assuming.”
GSAS wrapped up with a
leadership panel which
allowed the students to ask
post leaders and spouses
questions about their experiences. Afterward they held a
graduation luncheon at

GSAS is held four times a
year. For more information

Bird hunters doing well
Last week I wrote about dove hunting, but let me remind
you that dove season is open and the results are some of the
best they have been in many years on Fort Sill.
Before you go be sure that besides your hunting license
and Fort Sill permits that youth have a Migratory Bird
Harvest Information Program (HIP) permit when hunting
these birds.
Next to open is the early teal season which runs Sept. 1328. Bag limits are six daily, 12 in possession after the first
day, 18 in possession after the second day. Jump shooting is
available at most of the ponds on post, and you can make
your own blind as long as it doesn’t conflict with other
users.
We have seen some flocks of teal, and if we can get another front or two through here, we should see even more moving in during the next few weeks.Teal are somewhat smallish ducks, but boy can they hit the gas pedal. Be prepared
for some fast shooting if you find them.
As an added bonus and as a way to manage the resident
population of Canada geese, the Oklahoma Department of
Wildlife Conservation will hold a special Canada goose season Sept. 13-22.The daily bag limit will be eight birds, 16 in
possession after the first day, and 24 in possession after the
second day. Hopefully, this season will not only furnish
additional hunting trips, but also give us a way to reduce the
resident Canada geese and keep them within reasonable
numbers.
Considering the mess geese make of greens, local golfers
might want to buy a hunting license and help remove some
of these villains of the golf course. The problem with this
hunt is managing to find the geese out in the country where
you can hunt them. They seem to like the city life.
Hunters who participate in the early teal or the special
resident Canada goose season must have a resident or nonresident Oklahoma Hunting License, an Oklahoma

Waterfowl Hunting Permit ($10) and a federal duck stamp
($15).
Also, don’t forget your Harvest Information Program
(HIP) permit ($3) or go on the computer and get it for free
at the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation website www.wildlifedepartment.com. It’s the same one you get
for dove hunting so you only need to do it once.That’s how the
department determines the harvest of all migratory game
birds, including waterfowl.
Youth hunts
It’s time to get the kids ready for special kids only hunts.
First is the Youth Deer Gun hunt Oct. 10-12 followed by
our first big Youth Waterfowl Hunt Oct. 17-19. Kids get to
have first crack at the deer and waterfowl with a gun, some
education and free food. Both offer a chance to introduce a
child to hunting and pass on the legacy.
Next week’s article will fill in the details, but it will be
worth saving a spot on the calendar. The kids always enjoy
these events and the adults get a real kick out of them also.
In preparation for the upcoming seasons don’t forget to
take a Fort Sill Sportsmen Safety Class. The next one is
Sept. 20 at 9 a.m. in the Natural Resources Classroom in
Building 1465. Another class is Sept. 29 at 6 p.m. These are
the last ones before deer and elk archery seasons start so
don’t put it off till the last minute and miss out on some
great hunting. Call Sportsmen Services at 580-442-3553 for
information.

Team
From Page 1B
Rivera’s team approach has rubbed
off on Miller.
“It’s really like being a Soldier
because as Soldiers, we train together
to ensure we are a cohesive unit and
each of us has a job to perform. That’s
exactly how we train for the softball
team. We all work together to achieve a
common goal,” he said. “Last year, I
wasn’t sure how this helped me as a
Soldier. But, it has now become clear
that it’s about winning, and, the way to
win is to work together as a team to get
the job accomplished.”
Miller, a Multiple Launch Rocket
System crewmember, attributes the
team cohesion to the Army being a val-
ues-based organization; the team carries that mindset to its play.
“Everyone is already on the same
page. There is a lot of character and
integrity among the players, and it
helps us to come together as a team.
Being part of this is a really big morale
booster for us Soldiers. Athletic programs like this are great for Soldiers
because we get a chance to push ourselves to compete and take pride in
representing our units, battalions and
the Army. It allows us to further develop as Soldiers,”he said.
Miller said daily team-building exercises help the players gel as a team.
“The coaches have a good philosophy in that regard.They want us to stay
together and practice together and it
really helps. We’ve learned each
other’s strengths and where we can
5B
help each other. It’s like I have 14 battle buddies,”he said.
Having played the tourney here last
year, Miller hopes Fort Sill will show
that home-team spirit to support the
Soldiers.
“Hopefully, commanders will give
the go ahead to send Soldiers out to
support us,” he said. “It may just seem
like a softball game, but to us players
it’s about pride and representing the
Army, and to me, it’s about representing Fort Sill.”
Last year, Fort Sill’s Marines who
attended the games chanted and did all
kinds of stuff to show their support to
the Marine Corps softball team, Miller
said.
“It would be fun to see a lot of
Soldiers there rooting us on like that,”
he said.
