Report of Surveys – It’s everyone’s responsibility
by Malik Sultan
86th Logistics Readiness Group
COMMENTARY
A
Report of Survey is the
required
documenting process for any Air
Force property that has
been lost, damaged or
destroyed at an expense of $500
or more. This includes supply and
material management, automatic
data processing equipment, land
mobile radios, housing, individual
protection equipment, some onetime purchases and all government
vehicles, including leased and rented vehicles. This is a mandated
program reportable and directly
responsible to the wing commander.
During fiscal year 2012, the
86th Airlift Wing reported a loss
of $1.2 million (an increase of
$676,000 from the previous year).
This increase and total loss is unacceptable for a military and civilian
community that has been entrusted to safeguard our resources.
Although the fault cannot be placed
on one entity, responsibility can
be imposed down to the personal
level, and our commanders will
enforce maximum accountability.
A recent ROS AFSO21 event pinpointed equipment accountability,
reporting and training as the primary program shortfalls.
Equipment
accountability
is not only the responsibility of
each unit’s equipment custodian, it is also the responsibility of
each member of the unit. Military
members and civilian employees
are responsible for all resources
in their possession and around
them. This pertains to computers
being moved without documentation, mobility gear being left in
vehicles, damage to housing
units and damage to vehicles. In
essence, we need to protect our
government resources as if they
were our own. Under the wing’s
new ROS initiative, all negligent
personnel will be held accountable
for losses and damages under their
control as outlined in Air Force
Manual 23-220.
Reporting is our second shortfall
within the ROS program. Contrary
to belief, the ROS process is fairly
simple and is totally electronic. Our
problem is that we are not reporting. During the AFSO21 event,
four units submitted reports that
listed an item that has been missing for more than 365 days. This
means the annual inventories had
been conducted incorrectly or not
at all. There were also 35 units that
had not reported a single loss. Is
this possible? Yes, but quite unlikely. As a wing, we must inventory at
least annually and report our losses
immediately. As an improvement,
a system of inventory checks and
balances will be implemented to
identify units that have losses and
have not reported them.
Our final shortfall is training.
Our current squadron commander, equipment custodian and unit
ROS manager training programs
are being revised. Every individual in these key positions will be
retrained regardless of their previous training dates. This training will be conducted by the
86th Logistics Readiness Group
ROS office, 86th Medical Group,
86th Communications Squadron
and the 86th Logistics Readiness
Squadron. Each squadron will be
required to provide alternate and
primary equipment custodians and
ROS managers. These individuals
will be directly responsible to their
respective commanders and will be
the focal point for lost, damaged
or destroyed resources within their
control. With that being said, these
selected individuals must take their
training seriously and actively execute the duties appointed to them.
During this time of sequestration, or any other time for that
matter, we simply cannot afford
$1.2 million in losses annually. In
the future, these losses will also
come at a price to some of our
total force members. Although loss
prevention is our most important
issue, some members and/or civilians may experience a financial
burden should they be found liable
in a ROS investigation. Our new
program is scheduled to be fully
operational in FY 2014. The 86th
AW has always excelled whenever
met with adversity, and I’m sure
we can overcome this challenge as
well. It is vitally important to protect our resources, so we can protect our families and our country.
1st Sergeants’ Corner: What is your legacy?
by Senior Master Sgt. Ray Bradley
86th Vehicle Readiness Squadron
first sergeant
A couple of years ago my son was in my living
room with a box of cereal. He grabbed the box and
started spinning it around. Can you guess what happened next? Of course you can. Cereal went flying
everywhere. After, he looked at me in sheer terror.
Our conversation went something like this:
“What were you thinking?” I said.
“Dad, the box was closed!”
I could almost hear the fear in his voice and see
his smile on the inside.
“Son, just because you closed the top of the box
doesn’t mean it won’t fly open,” I said.
“I will eat them off the floor, Dad,” he said.

“Our technicians have disposed of hundreds of thousands of pounds of explosives
over the past 10 years,” said
Capt. Brandon Goebel, 886th
Civil Engineer Squadron EOD
flight commander. “Between
home station and contingency
operations, an EOD technician
can be expected to destroy
explosive hazards ranging
from small arms ammunition
to 2,000 pound airdropped
bombs.”
As an air and space expeditionary force enabler, the
EOD flight has a high deployment rate, as the bulk of their
mission takes place downrange.
EOD teams train extensively for deployment scenarios,
such as roadside bombs and
improvised explosive devices.
“We are part of an everevolving game of cat and
mouse with our adversaries,”
Goebel said. “One side will
modify their tactics and procedures while the other adjusts

greatest challenge of EOD,
and only continuous training

The job downrange is
extremely hazardous. EOD
members put their lives on
the line every day to get the
job done.
Ramstein EOD supports
various missions, including
operations Iraqi Freedom and
Enduring Freedom, as well
as presidential travel, range
clearance and humanitarian
operations.
“EOD is such a small career
field that has been through so
much together. It is one of the
tightest communities in the
military,” Goebel said.

“We are honored to have

Lt. Col. Kurt Kehoe, brigade
executive officer. “The entire
brigade has been extremely busy with consolidating
our headquarters and keeping the mission of support to
EUCOM and AFRICOM.”
Officers from the brigade, part of the Military
Surface Deployment and

updated Fraser on European

his recent visits with the

Enduring Freedom.
“It was important to hear
his views of how the strategic picture links together,”

One Airman’s story of resilience
by Airman 1st Class Trevor Rhynes
“I grew up with a hard working father and a
great mom who was active in the community …
I was very fortunate,” said Master Sgt. Etienne
Tousignant, 86th Force Support Squadron career
assistance adviser. “So, when I tell my story people always wonder, ‘What’s wrong with this guy?
Where did he go wrong?’”
Tousignant’s real story started when he was a
mischievous youngster.
“The summer after my junior year was when I got
busted for the first time by the police. One of my
friends and I were at a store and we shoplifted,” he
said. “When my parents came to pick me up, they
gave me a look when they got there that made me
think it was the end of the world.”
Life didn’t get any better for Tousignant. People
began to bully and haze him. He was threatened with
expulsion after a confrontation in the locker room.
“One day after ski practice, the best skier on the
team took my clothes and ran out into the hallway.
I put on what clothes I had and ran out after him,”
he said. “That’s when my whole world changed,
because I assaulted him.
“I got carted off to a juvenile detention center and
sat in solitary confinement, where they slid food
under a crack in the door,” the Anchorage, Alaska,
native said.
Without an outside view, Tousignant didn’t know
what time of day it was. His only view was a storage area.
Tousignant said he gave up spending time with
other people to spend time by himself.
“I didn’t want anything to do with whatever was
going on around me, so I would voluntarily go back
to solitary and stay there,” he said. “I don’t remember when, but eventually, we got carted off to the
courtroom.”
The court found the person Tousignant assaulted was a bully, but still sentenced Tousignant
to two years probation and hours of community
service.
After the hearing, Tousignant couldn’t leave
his parents’ sight and couldn’t go back to school
because he was expelled from the district.
His only option was homes chooling, but
Tousignant’s mother wanted more for him. He went
to Fairbanks, Alaska, where he stayed with three
different families.
He graduated high school, told his parents he
was joining the Air Force and left for San Antonio
months later.
“After graduating basic training, I knew that I
never wanted to make a mistake again,” he said.
“This created a lot of anxiety for me, so when I
showed up to work late once I broke into tears.”
Tousignant went on to Kadena Air Base, Japan,
where the tropical island was a big change from
Alaska.
“I had no idea what to do with myself when I got
there, so I drank,” he said. “I ended up making a
friend who later on found me with a bottle in one
hand and a knife in the other. He told his chain of
command, who told mine.”
His supervisor sat him down and gave Tousignant
two options: get help yourself or the commander
would order him to get help.
“My supervisor put me in the car, drove me to
mental health and I self-identified, which was the
best choice I ever made,” he said.
Tousignant credits the camaraderie of the NCOs
and the Airmen for helping him through his situation.
“At that point in my life I believed five things
to be true: I wasn’t staying in the Air Force, that I
would never get married, never be an NCO, didn’t
believe in God and that I wasn’t going to live very
long,” he said. “I thought that was going to be my
life, but through those people I found that none of
that was true.
“I found my spirituality, made staff sergeant,
found out that the Air Force was good for me and I
wanted to stay in because of the people, and it was
great when I met my first wife,” he continued.
They dated for a year before getting married. Two
months after they got married, his wife started having problems at work.
“Things started getting difficult for her. She was
battling with supervisors because she felt she was
overworked,” he said. “She was miserable. Her
battles at work coupled with events in her youth led
to emotional problems.”
Another two months passed when Tousignant

Moran, both 86th Force Support Squadron career assistance
advisers, work with Airmen every day to inform them of their
options and benefits. Tousignant faced many challenges

through his spirituality.
found his wife lying in the bath tub next to a knife
with alcohol and countless pills.
He took her to the hospital against her wishes,
where her stomach was pumped and she was
checked into the clinic.
“I visited her every day, but she was mad at me
for putting her in the hospital,” he said. “Even after
my own issues, I couldn’t relate to what she was
going through. As time went on, I got more distant from her, and after a year or so, our marriage
ended.”
Hindsight led Tousignant to believe there is never
a bad opportunity to talk to a military family life consultant, saying he’s done it at every base he’s been.
“I’ve been asked, ‘Why are you so driven? Why
do you get so involved?’ and I tell them it’s because
I changed somebody’s life in high school. I took
what could have been theirs and changed it forever,”
he said. “I don’t know how to do things any other
way. If I could spend the rest of my life helping people out I would and I will, because I have something
to make up for as far as I’m concerned.”
Times of stress remind Tousignant of a movie
quote: “Life’s a garden. Dig it. Never give up. Keep
on keeping on.”

21st TSC, 10th AAMDC Soldiers earn Best Warrior title
by Staff Sgt. Warren W. Wright Jr. and Staff Sgt. John Zumer
21st Theater Sustainment Command Public Affairs and
10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command Public Affairs
Soldiers from two major Army units in the KMC tested their mettle
recently, undertaking a grueling competition. The title says it all —
“Best Warrior.”
In Kaiserslautern, 16 Soldiers from the 10th Army Air and Missile
Defense Command recently tested their strength, stamina and resolve
during a 72-hour competition that measured Soldier skills, physical
endurance and rifle marksmanship, among others.
In Grafenwöhr, 19 Soldiers from 21st Theater Sustainment Command

CHIEF’S CORNER
Are you a
‘capital A’ Airman?
by Chief Master Sgt. Lewis Holston Jr.
37th Airlift Squadron superintendent
Are you a “capital A” Airman? The second
part of this question is: Are there any “lower
case A” Airmen? Are we so caught up in who
we are that we really need to differentiate
between a “capital A” Airman as opposed
to the Airman we profess to be according to
our creed? Our Air Force is suffering from an
identity crisis. The pride we have in the rank
and position we hold sometimes blurs the
focus on our warrior ethos.
There are no “lower case A,” or little,
Airmen in our Air Force. Even if one looks
at the youngest among our force, they are all
spelled with a capital A, and that is appropriate.
These assumed “lower case A” Airmen
make up the majority of the blood, sweat and
tears it takes to fly, fight and win in today’s
Air Force. They are working the long hours to
get the job done and will ultimately be at the
tip of the spear pulling the triggers that kill
the enemies of our nation. Let’s get over ourselves and lead these wingmen, leaders and
warriors to the victories our nation demands.
As one reads this, they may think it only
speaks to the junior enlisted ranks, but that
would be a wrong assumption. We are all
Airmen and warriors who have answered our
nation’s call. It’s time we leave the grammar
class to our English teachers and get on with
leading our people at every level despite their
position.
The art of leadership is not about who we
are, but rather what we do to influence Airmen
to accomplish the complex mission set before
us. A lot of time is spent crafting visions
and mission statements that encapsulate each
Airman at every stage of their development.
We want to ensure everyone is included as we
chart these paths to success. Here’s a suggestion: Say what needs to be said, do what needs
to be done and serve every Airman with equal
dedication.
If one asks a Marine, Soldier, Sailor or
Guardian whether they are a capital M, S or
G, they might get looks of confusion. We can
learn a great deal from our joint partners about
heritage, time-honored traditions and pride in
the uniforms they wear in service to our great
nation. It seems that sometimes as Airmen we
are still trying to find our place among our
joint partners. There should be great pride
in the fact that we are Airmen and part of a
mighty force. Our core competencies and distinct capabilities should speak for themselves.
We bring a decisive force to and above the
battlefield. We are warriors pitted side by side
with our joint and coalition partners. There is
no place for “lower case A” Airmen in today’s
Air Force.

10th EAEF help support wounded warriors
by Airman 1st Class
Dymekre Allen
The 10th Expeditionary Aeromedical Evacuation Flight is comprised of 84 highly trained and
qualified Airmen from evacuation squadrons and medical units
throughout the Air Force Reserve,
Guard and active duty whose
mission is to provide in-flight medical care and bring home wounded
warriors.
“We have a unique mission here
on Ramstein,” said Capt. Brian
Cortellessa, critical care air transport team nurse. “It’s very rewarding to do what we do … we provide downrange expert support for
anyone that is evacuated on our
flights.”
The 10th EAEF consists of a crew
management team responsible for
leadership, logistics and administration. The flight conducts tours
ranging from 30 to 180 days and
is currently located here to support
air evacuation missions for U.S.
Central command, European command and Africa command.
Within the EAEF there are four
specialized critical care air transport teams. Each team is comprised of three medical technicians
who create and operate a portable
intensive care unit on board any
transport aircraft and turn almost
any airframe into a flying intensive
care unit within minutes.
“We are saving lives,” said Maj.
David Legendre, 10th EAEF director of operations. “The service
members do their part downrange
to help support the mission, so
heaven forbid if anything should
happen to them we could provide
support in less than 24 hours.”
CCATT teams have a physician
specializing in an area such as
critical care, emergency medicine,
anesthesiology and surgery, along
with a critical care nurse and a
respiratory therapist.
The EAEF also works alongside
the tactical critical care evacuation
teams that remain downrange to
provide as much medical treatment as possible to patients in
critical condition before they are
evacuated back to Ramstein.
“When warfighters are in need,
they know that we’ll always be
here to provide them with care,”
Cortellesa said.
The 10th EAEF also ensures
they provide adequate medical support to not only service members but to any
coalition members or civilians who
are in need of their skills.
Legendre said the EAEF are
protectors of life who are dedicated to their mission and their
joint effort to support the medical
groups here on Ramstein.
“I couldn’t think of a better
population of people to provide
my expertise to,” Cortellesa said.
“I’m proud of the work we do in
the EAEF.”

An Army Reserve physician assigned to
the 196th Medical Support Unit of the 21st
Theater Sustainment Command’s 7th Civil
Support Command assisted in a partner nation
training event with the Bulgarian army May
14 to 18.
Neurologist Maj. James Joubert shared
his expertise in the training that focused
on increasing understanding of the chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear
equipment and consequence management
environments.
“This is really gratifying to participate in
promoting a partnership with a similar unit
from a foreign country,” Joubert said. “This
unique opportunity allows for me to increase
my medical skills as an Army physician. I
enjoy being a part of this process, as it is so
radically different from what I do in my civilian capacity.”
When not participating in unit training
each month, Joubert works as a Department
of the Army civilian neurologist at the
Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. He is
one of only 10 neurologists in the U.S. Army
Reserve.
“I am excited for the 196th MSU and their
opportunity of being able to work with the
773rd Civil Support Team in the months to
come,” Joubert said. “In comparison to units
that I have worked with in the past, this is a
specialized niche that the 196th MSU is creating for itself.”
This is not the first time that Joubert
has worked with foreign military
members.
“We were tasked to evaluate and make recommendations to a foreign military hospital
as to how they could process and deliver their
medical care,” Joubert said.
“Major Joubert is an expert in his field,”
said Col. Jenifer J. Hug, commander of the
196th MSU. “It has been a pleasure having
someone of his stature in our unit.”
When asked about the experience of working with his fellow reservists, Joubert said,
“It has been a pleasure working with the 7th
CSC. The Soldiers here are clearly masters of
their trade.”

“We are here to learn what

“This is a new and exciting chapter

21st TSC unit recognized as Army’s ‘top engineers’
From the U.S. Army Europe
Public Affairs Office
T
he 42nd Clearance Company, a 21st
Theater Sustainment Command unit, was
recently recognized as the Army’s top
engineer unit
During a May 16 ceremony, Lt. Gen.
Thomas P. Bostick, U.S. Army chief of engineers
and commanding general of the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers, presented the company with the
Itschner Award for the unit’s accomplishments in
Afghanistan. Prior to the ceremony, Bostick met
with Maj. Gen. Aundre Piggee, 21st TSC commander, at the command’s Kaiserslautern headquarters on
Panzer Kaserne.
“It really recognizes not only the leaders but the
entire team. The Soldiers in that unit, the family
members in that unit and their higher headquarters
all worked together as a team, so everybody is really
proud of them,” Bostick said.
Named in honor of Lt. Gen. Emerson C. Itschner,
the award is presented annually to the active component’s most outstanding engineer company. Since
2010, the Bamberg-based unit served as U.S. Army
Europe’s sole route clearance unit. Their mission is
to find and destroy roadside bombs and other explosive hazards to allow friendly forces free access to
roads to conduct their missions.
The unit supported the 172nd Infantry Brigade
and German troops during pre-deployment training. In early 2012, the unit deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, working in
Afghanistan’s Ghazni Province alongside three brigades, two U.S. and one Polish.

and utilized this experience to help establish a close
relationship with each of the two (Polish) battalions,” said 1st Lt. David Brink, the executive officer
for the 42nd Clearance Company.
By deployment’s end, the unit conducted more
than 500 missions both in vehicles and on foot,
clearing more than 30,000 kilometers of roads
and finding and disabling more than 150 explosive hazards. The 42nd also mentored Afghan
National Army forces on route-clearance, unit
logistics and maintenance programs.
Throughout the deployment, the Soldiers distinguished themselves not only as a unit, but as
individuals as well. Soldiers from the 42nd earned
a MacArthur Leadership Award, six Bronze Star
medals with V devices for valor and numerous
other awards at the regional command level and
below.
The unit is now preparing to move to Fort Knox,
Ky., as part of USAREUR’s transformation.

Personal information must be protected

M
any of our enemies are constantly
trying to steal information, which, in
the wrong hands, could hinder the
mission. Terrorists, identity thieves
and hackers are focused on the regression of our
freedom.
The Air Force is determined to protect the information we are charged to safeguard.
“Personal identifiable information is information
about an individual that identifies, links, relates,
is unique to, or describes him or her, like Social
Security number, age, military rank, civilian grade,
marital status, race, salary, home or office (and
any other) information that is linked or linkable to
a specified individual,” said Paula Thomas, 86th
Communication Squadron freedom of information
act and privacy act officer.
The release of PII can cause serious problems
and even put Airmen, their families and the Air
Force at risk.
The information the U.S. government has about
individuals must be balanced with their privacy invasion rights and must be protected against
unwarranted invasions of their privacy, stemming
from federal agencies’ collection, maintenance, use
and disclosure of personal information about an
individual.
“The possibility of a breach of personal
information, coupled with potential identity theft,
are paramount adversities,” said Airman 1st Class
Justin Grimm, 86th CS Freedom of Information
Act and Privacy Act specialist. “The loss of control,
compromise, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized
acquisition, unauthorized access, or any similar
term referring to situations where persons other
than authorized personnel have access or potential
access to PII.”
Usually, a PII incident is a careless mistake.
Nonetheless, the free world could be at stake.
For this reason, operational security is important
to ensure steps are being taken to protect our information.
“The best way to prevent an incident is to
think OPSEC on a daily basis,” Grimm said. “No
one can make you give up your personal information”
Protecting this information is everyone’s responsibility.

The Combat Dining In was a multinational event that included water fights, an obstacle course and a feast of hamburgers and steaks. Military members from the U.S., Canada and surrounding
European countries entered themselves into this year’s engagement. The event led off with a social hour that evolved into a water gun and balloon fight putting countries and sister services against
each other. Combatants were encouraged to scrounge up a variety of uniforms to wear. Combat kilts and battle dress uniform formal dresses layered with gun bandoliers were not an uncommon
sight. Chief Master Sgt. James Morris, 86th Airlift Wing command chief, presided over the event and led the delegation of military members through rounds of toasting. Morris also ensured the
obstacle course was never empty of competitors.

“The Best Warrior event
tests the abilities of the junior
enlisted, NCOs and officers
within the command,” said Sgt.
1st Class Daryle Rogers, the
21st TSC competition’s operations sergeant. “It puts them
out of their comfort zone, and
it tests them in all of their basic
Soldiering skills in items that
they don’t normally touch.”
“The events have been very
challenging, and the competition has a nice flow to it,” said
competitor Sgt. Christopher
Lamp, a healthcare specialist
with the 21st TSC’s 7th Civil
Support Command. “You don’t
really know what you’re going
to do until you get there.”
For most Soldiers, the
opportunity to meet a new
group of Soldiers and build
lasting relationships is just as
important as the chance to
win the competition.
“One of the first things you
do when you get here is you
size people up, but by the
end of that first day you’re
already friends,” Lamp said.
“Even though you’re competing against each other, you
want to know how each other
did and sometimes you want
to help each other out.”

Handlers care for Airmen of a different breed
by Senior Airman
Caitlin O’Neil-McKeown
“Get ‘em! Halt! Heel!”
These are examples of commands
given by Staff Sgt. Michael Judy,
86th Security Forces military working
dog handler, to his 2-year-old military
working dog, Risky.
The start of these puppies’ new
lives is the day they are selected
to become a military working
dog.
“The MWDs are procured through
the 341st Training Squadron located at Lackland Air Force Base,
Texas,” said Tech. Sgt. Nicholas
Ramsey, 86th Security Forces
Squadron MWD training manager.
“The length of the training depends on
the dog, roughly 90 days, to include
narcotic and explosive detection and
another 90 days of patrols. After they
have achieved certifications they are
then transferred throughout the four
branches of the military.”

nel master and four trainers, they are
the U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air
Forces Africa’s lead kennel.
The main goal is to stay vigilant
and increase proficiency. Military
working dogs and their handlers train
in a wide variety of scenarios and
environments.
“Before each shift we try to train
with the dog,” Judy said. “Even if
it’s just the basic centerline drills or
playing catch, the dogs are having
fun. At the same time it’s teaching
obedience and helping to build that
relationship with the dog.”
Ramsey said the training establishes a close bond between working
dogs and their handlers, allowing
them to work efficiently together to
protect the base and its residents. That
bond is what enables the handler to
trust his canine partner to detect those
threats.
What happens when a handler is
selected for a deployment?
“A dog and handler will deploy
together,” Ramsey said. “Once a
dog and his handler get tapped for a
deployment, they will go to a regional
training center.”
During the preparation phase,
dogs are put through rigorous
training to ensure they can perform a variety of tasks, including
implementing take downs, detect-
ing explosives and locating drugs
in hostile environments. The
diverse training also prepares the
working dog team for possible missions and deployments to unpredictable and potentially dangerous locations.
“During a deployment, you
build a great bond with your dog,”
Ramsey said. “You care for them,
you live with them and, if you go
to work with the Army and Marines
outside the fence, you are depending on your dog to detect any
explosives that can harm the guys
behind you. So that bond is important.”
Handlers don’t just work with
professional K-9s daily, they
find satisfaction in watching these
young dogs grow into military working dogs.
“I look forward to coming to work
every day,” Judy said. “Seeing all the
goals you set for the dog as much as
you can and see how far they are willing to go, after you build that rapport
with them, you praise them and they
work hard. It’s better than any award I
will ever receive.”

Furloughs affect USAFE-AFAFRICA employees
by Capt. Reba Good
U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa
Public Affairs
More than 1,760 U.S. Air Forces in Europe
and Air Forces Africa employees are among the
Department of Defense civilians required to take 11
furlough days beginning July 8.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced the
recent furlough decision during a town hall meeting
May 14 in Alexandria, Va. He said employees will
have to take off one day a week from July until the
end of September.
Lt. Gen. Noel T. Jones, USAFE-AFAFRICA
commander, said the impact will be felt across the
command.
“This decision affects our civilian Airmen at all
levels, and we are going to do everything we can to
help them through this difficult time,” he said.
Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley and
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh III said
they had hoped to avoid furloughs entirely, but they
noted unprecedented times have demanded tough
decisions.
“We recognize the significant impact this action
will have on our civilian Airmen, their families and
our mission,” Donley and Welsh said in a U.S. Air
Force press release. “But the unprecedented budget
choices we’ve faced during this extraordinary year
have forced painful decisions to avoid further degradation in our missions.”
Furloughing civilians in USAFE-AFAFRICA
will save the DOD an estimated $5.38 million in
fiscal 2013.
Hagel said the furloughs will affect every military
department and almost every agency, with limited
exceptions.
Approximately 10 percent of USAFEAFAFRICA’s civilian workforce — employees in
child and youth care, health and safety, and intelligence operations positions — will be exempt from
the furlough.
USAFE-AFAFRICA employees identified to be
furloughed will receive written notification between
May 28 and June 5.
Furloughed employees should contact their local
civilian personnel section and Airman & Family
Readiness Center for information on local employee assistance programs, community resources and
counseling services.

Lifelong love of books leads to prestigious award
Story and photo by Dijon Rolle
U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern Public Affairs
W
hen asked about her favorite
book, Tiffany Hughey, a U.S.
Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
library technician, was surpris-
ingly stumped.
That’s one of the most difficult questions anyone
had ever asked her, she said.
“There are just too many,” Hughey said. “But if
I had to chose, it would be ‘The Color Purple,’ by
Alice Walker, and ‘10-10-10,’ by Suzy Welch, and
finance books from Suze Orman. Those are my
favorite books.”
The Federal Library and Information Network, or
FEDLINK, recently named Hughey 2012 Federal
Library Technician of the Year. The organization of
federal agencies works closely with the Library of
Congress.
While the award is a first for the KMC,
Hughey’s dedication and love of libraries goes
back to her upbringing. Her interest in books began
at a very early age and remained with her, Hughey
said.
“We didn’t have a lot growing up, and my
mom always instilled in us education, reading and
going to the library because it’s free,” said Hughey,
who’s served as a garrison library technician for
the past three years. “It’s just been so important
to us and to my family. My mom always read.
She was an avid reader and would read anywhere
from four to five books a week. So it was just
instilled in us.”
The Cleveland, Ohio, native admitted she was
shocked when she found out that she had won. She
hopes the award will shine the spotlight on others
across the community.
“It’s kind of two-fold. I’m excited and I’m
appreciative of the award. For me, it puts a positive light on libraries. It puts us out there more than
what people would kind of see us as and it just
makes the garrison look good. I’m happy about it,”
she said.
Shawn Friend-Begin, the garrison’s supervisory
librarian, nominated Hughey. She praised Hughey’s
efforts in organizing and staffing the garrison’s

“It’s kind of two-fold. I’m excited and

partnerships with children’s programs in the garrison. She also highlighted Hughey’s improvements
to programming, services and her role in training
staff.
“The awards highlight the important work being
accomplished on a daily basis by federal employees,” Friend-Begin said. “Locally, it highlights
the community members and the impact Army
libraries have in the community — professionally,
recreationally and educationally. And, more importantly, the award shows how one very dedicated and
driven civil servant can impact a community so
strongly.”
FEDLINK presented the awards during an
event Wednesday at the Library of Congress in
Washington, D.C. The 2012 Federal Librarian
of the Year award went to Joyce Greene at the
George C. Marshall European Center for
Security Studies in Garmisch-Partenkirchen,
Germany. The winners’ names remain on permanent display in the FEDLINK offices at the Library
of Congress.

Memorial cleanup for
65th anniversary of Berlin Airlift
Photos by Airman 1st Class Jordan Castelan
Members from the KMC were among those who volunteered their time to freshen and restore aircraft and the
surrounding memorial at the Berlin Airlift Memorial May 18 near Frankfurt International Airport. The Berlin
Airlift was a joint nation effort, consisting of the U.S. Air Force, British Royal Air Force, Royal Australian Air
Force, Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal New Zealand Air Force and South African Air Force, which flew more
than 200,000 flights in a single year and provided up to 4,700 tons of goods daily. Thirty-one Americans lost
their lives in an effort to supply Germany’s biggest city. In their honor and to commemorate their substantial
effort, memorials stand in Berlin and near Frankfurt. Each prong on the memorial represents one of the three
air corridors used during Operation Vittles and the names of the U.S. and British Airmen killed in the process
are inscribed on each memorial base. This year marks the 65th anniversary of the airlift.
USAFE-AFAFRICA infrastructure under pressure
From staff reports
Public Affairs
is seeing the ripple effects from sequestration.
Budget cuts for this fiscal year to facilities sustainment and restoration are expected to cause readiness
issues now and into the future.
Lt. Gen. Tom Jones, USAFE-AFAFRICA
interim commander, said these cuts will affect
USAFE-AFAFRICA installations’ ability to serve
as conduits for mobility, communications, and
logistics.
“USAFE-AFAFRICA brings critical capabilities to accomplish missions we have regularly
performed in the past and are expected to perform in the future,” Jones said. “Airpower is vital
to the success of U.S. European Command, U.S.
“We need every Airman to identify
ways to reduce infrastructure spending.
Innovative, frugal thinking in this area
is the key to success.”
— Lt. Gen. Tom Jones, USAFE-AFAFRICA interim commander
Africa Command, and other combatant commands
in world-wide operations.”
Airmen and aircraft assigned to USAFEAFAFRICA are responsible for 105 countries
on two continents covering territory spanning
19.7 million square miles. The forces here are
positioned in key locations designed to enable personnel to rapidly reposition into hotspots in Europe,
the Middle East, Africa and other contingencies
across the globe.
“The current threat environment requires the ability and flexibility to provide multilateral response
options to complex, cross-national security threats,”
Jones said.
While the threat environment includes fluid and
ever-changing factors, USAFE-AFAFRICA infrastructure demands require long-term programming
and planning.
“We’ve had to defer four runway repair projects,”
said Col. Mark Hering, USAFE-AFAFRICA deputy
director of operations. “While we chose those that
had the least impact to operations, we understand
that any deferment can increase the risk to aircraft
and even some risk to aircrews.”
Air Force leaders have focused significant attention on sequestration’s impact on current flight
operations, but little mention has been made
of the impact shrinking operations and maintenance appropriations are having on future costs.
USAFE-AFAFRICA civil engineers work to prevent mission stoppages, however, mission degradation will occur.
“It is critical that we carefully manage the risk
associated with infrastructure decisions” Jones said.
“We are becoming increasingly more selective in
where our limited sustainment dollars go.”
It’s important to understand the timeline of construction and its funding. There is often a delay
between paying for and executing construction
projects.
“We’re executing new projects on an emergency basis only, even as we complete construction of lower-priority projects that were funded
in prior fiscal years,” said Brig. Gen. Warren
Berry, USAFE-AFAFRICA director of logistics,
installations and mission support. “There can be
a significant time lapse between when a construction project is approved and funded, and when
actual work begins. After groundbreaking, it can
take months or even years for projects to be completed.”
The approach to spending cuts must be
deliberate even with an “emergencies only” mindset.
“We need every Airman to identify ways to
reduce infrastructure spending,” Jones said.
“Innovative, frugal thinking in this area is the key
to success.”

Engineers build sets for high school production
by 2nd Lt. Abraham Richardson
15th Engineer Battalion,
VILSECK, Germany — Soldiers with the 21st
Theater Sustainment Command’s 15th Engineer
Battalion, 18th Engineer Brigade, put their carpentry skills to use in April constructing stage props
for Vilseck High School’s production of “The Little
Mermaid.”
“There is nothing better than putting the knowledge and skills of your military occupation specialty to use for a good cause,” said Warrant Officer
Carlene S. Davis, officer in charge of the project
and a member of the 902nd Vertical Construction
Company of the 15th Engineer Bn. “It started with
a hunt for volunteer opportunities for Soldiers to
stay proficient in MOS fields. What we got was a
rewarding and fun way to give back to our community.”
The high school performed a theatrical version of
“The Little Mermaid” on the first and second weekends of May.
Sgt. Allen Clapper, Spc. Brandon Barrett,
Spc. Deandre Gavin and Pvt. Diallo Young used
their creativity and carpentry skills to create stage
scenes.
King Triton’s throne, a little love boat, a ship, sea
floor rocks, sea floor waves, Ariel’s grotto (hideout),
Ursula’s cauldron and coral reefs were among the
creations.
“The project was estimated to cost well over

$1,200,” Davis said. “The Soldiers, however,
worked with old, recyclable materials, bringing
the cost down to only $508. In the end, the project
was both an exciting and rewarding way to get our
Soldiers engaged in their MOS related skills and in

ILAW technicians help Airmen with legal processes
Story and photo by
Airman 1st Class Dymekre Allen
International law judge advocate legal technicians
look to improve deficiencies in the legal support process by speaking to German authorities, informing
service members and providing adequate assistance
in solving legal issues for Airmen and local nationals.
Legal technicians act as a go-between for the
German law and U.S. personnel. They maintain
responsibilities that can be broken down into three
primary categories: criminal, civil and traffic.
Claudia Weigel and Heide Schmitt, ILAW JA
legal technicians, are responsible for the civil and
traffic ticket programs. They serve German traffic tickets, subpoenas for court, writ of payment
orders, writ of executions, petitions for paternity
and divorce, and other civil matters.
“In an ideal world, every contacted person
responds after the first email notification within the
given deadline,” said Matthias Voelker, 86th Airlift
Wing German legal adviser. “We just want to help
people before it becomes a problem.”
The head of the criminal process and waiver of
criminal jurisdiction, Petra Bryant, paralegal specialist, handles primarily foreign proceedings. She ensures
waivers of criminal jurisdiction concerning service
members in the KMC, including serving all the indictments, penal orders, driving while intoxicated tickets,
as well as other German criminal processes.
These legal technicians work alongside Voelker,

better. He got picked to deploy and was
very excited about it (insert ominous
music here).
Jerry fell asleep on post while deployed
and received an Article 15 for his actions.
Wait a second, this isn’t supposed to happen; he was on the road to recovery. I
wasn’t prepared for this. What do I do
now?
When Jerry returned from his deployment, I did the same thing I did before. I
sat him down and gave him feedback. We
set another road map to recovery, and I
told him this wasn’t going to be easy.
One year later, Jerry was selected for promotion to staff sergeant. A year after that,
he replaced me in a resume-hire job when
I was selected for assignment to Aviano Air
Base, Italy. Today, he is a first sergeant in the
Air Force, responsible for taking care of our
greatest asset — our Airmen.
As you can see, my son is a work in
progress and challenges me every day.
However, Jerry overcame some early
career obstacles and is now part of an
extremely talented group of men and
women.
Are you willing to work with your
troubled Airmen? Will you set those tough
standards? Will you push them to excel?
If so, they will surprise you. What will be
your legacy?

Aponte April 7 on Ramstein.
tance in accordance with German law. As a team,
they serve more than 4,000 traffic tickets and several hundred other forms of documentation each year.
“By checking emails regularly and paying attention to due dates, Airmen can help legal improve
their work efficiency thus making for a faster pro-
cess in resolving legal issues,” Bryant said. “We
would like to drastically decrease the numbers of
tickets by the end of the fiscal year.”

Airmen submit innovative ideas by the thousands
by Senior Airman Jamie Jaggers
Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs
WASHINGTON — More than 8,000 money-saving
ideas have cascaded into the Pentagon from across the
Air Force this month.
Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Larry Spencer
launched the Airmen Powered by Innovation Challenge
May 1, challenging uniformed and civilian Airmen to
find places to save money across the service, no matter
how big or small.
“If there are things we can do better, if there are
things we can stop doing, or if there are ideas (Airmen)
have on how we can better manage our money... we
want to hear it,” Spencer said.
When Airmen click “submit,” on one of two
websites, their ideas fall directly into the hands of
Spencer’s team of action officers here, who dedicate
their time to receiving ideas and tasking them out for
consideration.
“Chaotic, at best, is what it’s like working in here,
because all these ideas are flowing through consider-
ably. It takes me personally, on average, about 10-15
minutes to process each idea,” Master Sgt. Joel Meyer
said.
Meyer, a security forces Airman by trade, said this is
a unique opportunity for today’s Airmen.
“It’s an opportunity for Airmen in the field to provide
an idea straight to the top, and not have that filter of
that staff sergeant on their flight, or master sergeant, or
(operations) officer,” Meyer said. “They don’t have to
go through any of that ... they can get (their idea) right
to General Spencer.”
Airmen who may be holding back due to reservations
about confidentiality should think again.
“The people who are responsible for filtering that
(submission) and looking into it deeper — they have
no idea who it is. So don’t be apprehensive. Submit it,”
Meyer said.
Uniformed and civilian Airmen can submit their
ideas on how to squeeze the most out of every
Air Force dollar via the Air Force portal, or
EveryDollar.DoDLive.Mil; the opportunity is live until
June 1.

Mental health partners with Red Nose Institute to boost morale for deployed troops
by Carmen Schott
Ramstein Family Advocacy
Psychiatric illness is no
laughing matter, but humor
and lightheartedness can help
us all get through the stresses
of military life and deployment.
The Red Nose Institute is a
nonprofit corporation founded
by a retired Air Force veteran
and psychiatric nurse. The goal
of the Red Nose Institute is
to put a smile on the faces of
troops overseas. Designed by
a clown and with the help of
friends from around the world,
this program was launched in
July 2007. The institute’s mission is to help encourage individuals who care about our
military to donate red foam
noses. The noses are mailed to
U.S. service members deployed
overseas. A letter is enclosed in
each package telling military
members how extremely proud
of them we are and how thankful we are for their service.
Servicemen and women are
encouraged to share the noses
with others who might need to
smile or share them with nearby
children. The underlying goal
is to relieve stress and promote
resiliency.
The Ramstein Mental Health
clinic has joined forces with
the Red Nose Institute in May
to send the red foam noses to
the deployed 86th MDOS personnel who are serving overseas at this time. If you would
like to send noses to your coworkers and deployed service
members, you can contact the
Red Nose Institute online at
www.therednoseinstitute.com.
They will send red noses for
free to deployed service members in your squadron or unit.

Encourage overseas visitors to include travel insurance on checklist
by Bonnie DeJesus
Landstuhl Regional Medical
Center Public Affairs
N
o one wants to think
there could be a medical emergency when
they’re on vacation
or traveling to visit friends
or relatives. But the reality
is, some people on vacation
end up in European hospitals or require outpatient
care on the local economy.
Reasons
for
these
unplanned mishaps include
car accidents, strokes or heart
attacks, falls resulting in broken bones or head injuries,
flu or the sudden realization
their prescription medication
has run out. In some cases,
patients have to be in ICU for
weeks or months.
In other instances such
as car or motorcycle accidents, more than one member of a visiting family may
require medical attention or
hospitalization. And one of
the worst-case scenarios is
a patient not being able to
return home on a commercial
aircraft and requiring a medical flight back to the U.S. A
medical flight alone can cost
approximately $13,000 or
more depending on the need
for medical equipment and
accompanying medical personnel.
All of these examples have
the potential to create extreme
financial hardship for those
involved if medical insurance
is not available.
For these, reasons, people living in Europe who
are expecting visitors should
advise them to ensure
they obtain health care insurance coverage before their
visit.
Folks who are not in possession of a military/retiree/
DOD civilian Identification
Card are not eligible for
care at a Military Treatment
Facility except for emergencies to save sight, life or
limb.
Even those who have an ID
card may be sent off a military
post for care if an appointment isn’t available. Or, if a
medical need arises when a
military treatment facility is
not nearby, the patient would
need to seek care at a facility on the economy wherever
they are.
Medicare does not pay
for healthcare outside the U.S.
Some private health insurances also do not pay for
healthcare
outside
the
U.S. Some will not pay
directly to a hospital. This
results in patients having
to pay their bills up front
and file with the health
insurance company for reimbursement.

Service members living in Europe who are expecting visitors should advise
them to obtain health care insurance coverage before their visit.
ing travel insurance should
carefully research what is covered and if there is a limit on
the coverage. Does the travel
insurance include a medical
flight back home? Will the
travel insurance pay hospitals
directly or do they require
the patient to pay up front
and then file for reimbursement?
If a person buys travel
insurance for $10,000 worth
of coverage, that coverage
may not be very useful if the
buyer cannot afford to pay
$10,000 up front to the hospital if the bill should amount
to that.
Knowing your visitors
can be treated if a medical
need arises ensures a worry
free stay for both hosts and
guests.
Baumholder honors fallen Soldiers

B
aumholder honored its fallen Soldiers
May 17 during their annual Fallen Soldier
Memorial Run. More than 200 runners,
walkers, strollers and dog walkers showed up for
the annual run.
The names of Baumholder’s fallen were posted
along the run. Lt. Col. Mike Sullivan, U.S. Army
Garrison Baumholder commander, told the runners
before the race to remember these fallen Soldiers
and to never forget why they paid the ultimate price.
First place in the men’s category went to
Magnencio Sembrano from the 240th Quartermaster
Company who burned up the 5 kilometer course
in 15:53 minutes. Second place was claimed by
Michael Pikul from the 557th Medical Company
who finished in 16:29 minutes. Curtis Willson from
the 504th Signal Company turned in a time of 16:46
for third place.
Heather Ricks from the 64th Medical Veterinary
Detachment was the fastest woman of the day with a
time of 20:38 minutes. Jessica Pekar finished second
with a time of 22:22 minutes and Elizabeth Glass
from the 421st Multifunctional Medical Battalion
was third with a 25:50 finish.
Henry Treston, 8, had the fastest feet for the
youth with a time of 42:58 minutes. Ava Refile
is only five years old but she turned in a time of
47:02 minutes to finish second for the youth.
Third place for the youth went to Rakeem Refile, 8,

with a time of 51:53 minutes.
“The atmosphere was joyous and there were no
accidents or injuries to report,” said Anthony “G
Man” Ramsey, sports specialist from the Hall of
Champions.
“We extend a special thanks to Lt. Col. Mike
Sullivan, and Sgt. Maj. Ronald Caswell for their
steadfast support and to the Health Clinic and Red
Cross for their health promotion support,” said
Ramsey.
Next community run will be the Army Birthday
Run on June 13.

Deadlift: Proper technique can reduce injury
Story and photo by Cesar Alvarez
Ramstein Health and Wellness Center
health and fitness specialist
T
here is one exercise that can, if repeatedly performed poorly, lead to injuries
of “lumbago,” or lower back injuries —
it’s the deadlift.
The deadlift is a weight training
exercise where a loaded barbell is lifted
off the ground from a stabilized, bent
over position. It is considered among strength and
conditioning professionals as one of the big three
exercises to be included in an overall strength training program.
Anyone unfamiliar with the intricacies of
the deadlift could easily assume it is simple to
execute, with basically nothing more than bending
down, grasping a barbell and standing up. A movement pattern simple in appearance should not be
judged entirely based on perception.
Two of the most common mistakes when
performing this exercise are rounding the back
during the initial pull and hyperextending the
Fun run/walk-a-thon
The Sembach National Junior Honor Society
Fun Run/Walk-A-Thon will be held from 3 to
6 p.m. June 1 at the Vogelweh track, next to the
commissary. The fun run will be held to earn
money for the Wounded Warrior Project and the
NJHS. For more information about the Wounded
Warrior Project, visit www.woundedwarriorproject.
org. For more information about the fun run, contact
Linda Gheysen at [email protected] or
0630-25398 or 496-7040.
Clinic sports physicals
The 86th Medical Group will be conducting
sports physicals by appointment only June 8 for
youth ages 6 to 18 enrolled at the Ramstein Clinic.
The physicals will be performed from 8 a.m. to
3:45 p.m. at the Ramstein Clinic, Bldg. 2114 (main
clinic) and are valid for one year. Appointments can
now be made by calling 479-CARE (2273) or 0637146-2273. The appointments clerks will assist you in
finding an appointment that works for your children.
The MDG will provide all necessary paperwork for
this examination. Annual health screening physicals
are required for students who wish to participate in
sports. Families need to arrive 30 minutes prior to
the scheduled appointment to complete paperwork
and the necessary pre-examination testing. If a child
wears glasses, please bring them to the appointment
and have your children wear comfortable clothing,
such as a T-shirt and a pair of shorts.
Football conditioning

program is offering two football conditioning classes for children and youth in first to 12 grade.
back or jerking the weight up at the end of the exercise.
Typically, the term deadlift is associated with
both conventional and nonconventional styles. An
individual’s lifting style should be based on their
body and not on someone’s physical characteristics.
These proper techniques will prevent many of
the injuries associated with this lift:
• Keep feet flat and shoulder width apart
• Grasp the barbell with an alternated grip (one
with one palm up and one down) or both facing
down slightly wider than shoulder width apart
• Arms are outside the knees with elbows
extended
• Stand up keeping the barbell close to the shins
• Keep chest held up and out squeezing shoulder
blades together.
If you would like more information about
proper lifting techniques or beginning a basic
weightlifting program, email the HAWC at
[email protected] or call them at
480-HAWC (4292).
Classes take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 17 to
