erald Union H Vol. XXII, No. 19 Wiesbaden: Your home in Germany Tapping off friendship July 2, 2015 Naturalization ceremony welcomes new Americans Story and photos by Shayna Brouker U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office On any other work day, Yasmin Farria would be sitting behind a window in this spacious room, processing paperwork for hopeful citizens one-by-one. It took a fiancé visa, a green card and years of paperwork and waiting to get to this point, but today, she is on the other side of the window, so to speak, and will become a citizen of the United States of America. Farria, a native German, employee with the Non-immigrant Visa section at the U.S. Consulate in Frankfurt and a Wiesbaden spouse, was one of 12 candidates for naturalization to receive her citizenship at a ceremony June 25 in Frankfurt.

Gen. David Halverson Installation Management Command Commanding General July Fourth is a great occasion in our country and a day to celebrate with patriotism. John Adams, the first vice president and second president of the United States, helped write the Declaration of Independence. He said, “I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other.” Independence Day remains a national celebration just as President Adams predicted. We encourage you to celebrate in the spirit of independence and patriotism that has endured for 239 years. As Army professionals who protect our freedom, we must remain aware of the risks present at July Fourth festivities. Outdoor activities are a source of sunburn and heat injuries. Drink plenty of water and take frequent breaks when working or playing in hot weather. Water activities are also popular during the July Fourth weekend. Wear life jackets while boating, swim only in supervised areas and obey posted signs. Pay attention to weather conditions and get out of the water at the first sign of bad weather. Alcohol doesn’t mix with boating, swimming or driving. Watch your consumption and don’t drink if you will operate any type of vehicle. Give a responsible person details on where you will be and how long you will be gone for added safety. Enjoy Independence Day as you celebrate with family and friends. Please be safe because our nation needs each one of us to support and defend this great country. Once a Soldier, Always a Soldier. Soldier for Life! Retaliation and sexual assault Capt. Bridget Karns U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Legal Office When a sexual assault happens to a member of a unit or office, it can lead to a variety of emotions, feelings or opinions. It is important for command and peers to understand the consequences of how they interact and respond to a victim of a sexual assault. It is especially important that there is no retaliation against a victim of sexual assault. Within the Department of Defense, retaliation encompasses both professional and social retaliation, which is a chargeable offense under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Professional retaliation is described by the DoD, as “taking or threatening to take an adverse personnel action or withholding or threatening to withhold a favorable personnel action, with respect to a member of the Armed Forces, because the member made a protected communication (e.g. filed a report of sexual assault).” This can also include the punishment of victims for minor “collateral misconduct,” which only came to the attention of the command because the victim came forward to report a sexual assault. Fear of punishment for collateral misconduct remains a major obstacle for service member victims to come forward with a sexual assault report. The DoD has also recognized that retaliation can take place outside the workplace in social settings which “includes social ostracism and such acts of maltreatment committed by peers of the victim or by other persons because the member made a protected communication.” Human Rights Watch recently conducted a study into retaliation against U.S. military members who reported a sexual assault. In the survey, many of the victims felt that the aftermath and fall-out of the sexual assault, to include bullying and isolation from their peers, to damage to their careers, was worse than the assault itself. In essence, these survivors of a sexual assault were being re-victimized by the commands and peers who should be supporting them, as “everyone is told from day one that the military is your family…If you are sexually assaulted it takes on an incestuous dynamic. It is that level of betrayal. Then it goes to your command—if the command handles it badly, that’s another level of betrayal. Every time the system fails, another layer of betrayal (Retaliation against Sexual Assault Survivors in the US Military, Human Rights Watch, May 2015, 7).” This issue has not only been addressed by concerned outside agencies such as Human Rights Watch, but also by the DoD itself. On June 19, 2014, the secretary of the Army issued Army Directive 2014-20 (Prohibition of Retaliation Against Soldiers for Reporting a Criminal Offense). The directive states that “no Soldier may retaliate against a victim, an alleged victim or another member of the Armed Forces based on that individual’s report of a criminal offense.” The provisions of this directive are punitive, meaning that if there is retaliation, that person may be punished under Article 92 of the UCMJ. Retaliation, either by peers or the command, socially or professionally, is not tolerated. Allegations of retaliation will be investigation by the appropriate Inspector General’s office and appropriate action will be taken against those violating the directive. Victims who report a sexual assault deserve the support and respect of their commands and peers, not ostracism and threats. If you have questions, please feel free to contact your nearest law center. In Wiesbaden, the Legal Assistance Office is in the Welcome Center, Bldg. 1023W on Clay Kaserne or call mil: 537-0664; or civ: (0611) 134-537-0664.

But don’t leave Germany without a valid Status of Forces Agreement, or SOFA stamp or card because you will need it when you come back to Germany. German immigration officials report that U.S. forces family members and civilians are showing up at Frankfurt International Airport and Ramstein Air Base terminals without proper documentation. German officials have been very lenient in the past. However, they have noticed an increase in personnel leaving and re-entering Germany without a SOFA stamp or card. “Military members stationed in Germany are required to present a military ID card, service travel orders and, if on leave, a valid leave form when leaving or entering Germany,” said Wil Respress, chief of the U.S. Army Customs Agency – Europe office at Ramstein Air Base. For family members and civilian employees, a valid passport and SOFA stamp or card are required to cross the German border. When questioned about SOFA cards, many travelers stated they were not aware that this is a mandatory requirement. However, the wording on the stamp or card makes the intent clear: “The bearer is a member of a civilian component, or dependent, of a member of a force or civilian component of the United States of America and is entitled to unrestricted entry into and exit from the Federal Republic of Germany”. “Please ensure your family members have SOFA stamps or cards to comply with German immigration requirements,” Respress added. Violators can face harsh fines and possibly even deportation, he stressed. Please contact your servicing passport office to obtain a SOFA card. Finally, travelers should inform themselves of general entry requirements of any foreign country they will be visiting well in advance of their departure to ensure they have the required type of passport and, if applicable, visa. Contact the Wiesbaden Passport Office located in Bldg. 1023N, Room 161. The office is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday 8:30-11:30 a.m. for walk-ins and 1-4 p.m. for appointments and walk-ins on a space-available basis.

Continued from page 1 “I feel very good about becoming a U.S. citizen today,” she said. “I feel like it was time.” Pvt. 1st Class Marianne Franco, 19 and a native of Baguio City, the Philippines, has been in the Army a little over a year and was sent to Germany a little after — but can’t travel outside of Germany because she doesn’t have a U.S. passport. Her first stop upon receiving her citizenship — and passport — will be Paris to celebrate her 20th birthday, she said. “This means so much to me,” she said. “I get to travel. And whenever we say the Soldier’s Creed, I will feel even more proud now that I have the title of ‘citizen.’ It feels so good.” Farria, Franco and the other candidates, from nine different countries, gathered on the lawn at the consulate to hear from Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, León Rodríguez, himself the son of Cuban immigrants who came to America seeking freedom and opportunity. “They came to discover the wonder that is the United States,” he said of his parents. “[Democracy] must be protected by those that would undermine it. You are here because you are doing the unexpected. I urge you to continue doing the unexpected. Vote, participate civilly and volunteer in your communities.” With that, the new citizens received their certificates. The naturalization ceremony June 25 was held at the Frankfurt Consulate. “I welcome you to your new American family,” said Karen Fitzgerald, field director at Frankfurt.

Sheryl Lyons served as the guest speaker. “Be that NCO that Soldiers turn to for advice and counsel rather than to a Facebook page or app,” she encouraged the inductees. The Sgt. Morales Club process itself demands candidates to step outside of their comfort zone that further prepared them for leadership roles. The board asks questions that test what a leader would do in a certain situation, rather than recite memorized answers. “You have to stay focused,” said Clemons. “Every day junior Soldiers look to us for mentorship, so that one day they’ll take our place. The questions get you thinking how you would apply leadership.” Lyons also had special words for the Dr. Mary E. Walker award recipients. The award recognizes 1st Sgt. Dexter Clemons stands with his certificate of membership in the Sgt. Morales Club, shouldered by Wiesbaden Chapter President 1st Sgt. Todd Parsons and U.S. Army Europe Command Sgt. Maj. Sheryl Lyons, during a ceremony June 22. military spouses for “outstanding dedication and exemplary volunteerism” to improving the quality of life for USAREUR Soldiers and their Families. Dr. Mary Walker is the only woman in U.S. history to receive the Medal of Honor “This award is special to me,” she said, describing the role Dr. Walker played as one of the first female doctors in 1855, a time when women were not supposed to be physicians. “She faced danger and she was imprisoned, but her dedication to her fellow human beings outweighed her difficulties. For the things you do for us, thank you. Without you, our communities would become despondent.” Joe Bednash has been on the Booster Board for the past three and a half years, which contributed $60,000 to Wiesbaden High School clubs, remodeled the Amelia Earhart Playhouse, saving over $25,000 in cost and built a habitat for the high school’s “Jake the Snake,” saving over 2,000 euros — just to name a few projects. “It’s a huge honor for me to be recognized,” he said. “I just do whatever I have to do to support my kids.” Jessica Curtis is a strong supporter of local Boy Scouts of America troops, serving in many roles, including merit badge counselor, assistant Scoutmaster, crew advisor, district trainer, troop committee chair and Rheingold district chair. She mentored more than 15 Scouts on their path to becoming Eagle Scouts. This dedication led to her selection as Barbarossa District Executive, overseeing all Boy Scouts of America units in the Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, Kaiserslautern, Ramstein, Landstuhl, Sembach and Baumholder communities. “I think this event is the epitome of volunteer program,” said Lyon. “I’m blown away by the number of people here. It’s testament to the volunteerism present in this community, and I hope to doing more of these ceremonies in the future.” 50 Years in business COLLISON CENTER We at Auto Hollmann would like to invite you to stop by and visit our Collision Center.

The changes to the cards are federally mandated, said Sam Yousef, the DHRA identification card and benefits policy program manager, in a DoD News interview June 16. Beginning in July, only new CACs will be issued with the changes -- encircled letters “W” for military and civilian employees, “G” for contractors and “B” for foreign nationals, Yousef said. The encircled letter will appear under the card’s expiration date. The letters will accompany white, green or blue bands across the cards, so security officials who cannot discern color can rely on the letter instead, Yousef said. Security officials will recognize the new format as valid DOD cards on military installations both stateside and overseas. Another change on the CAC will be varied type size to accommodate the length of employees’ names, he said. Standard type size is 10 point, but 7-point type will be used for longer names, he explained. Yousef emphasized that DOD employees with up-to-date CACs do not need to get new cards. The new format will only be issued for new and expiring cards. “The change is going to be implemented through the natural life cycle of the cards, so people don’t need to have their cards replaced for this purpose,” he said. New CAC holders and those whose cards are about to expire can update them at their Defense Eligibility Enrollment Reporting System ID card office, Yousef said. SecDef visits Grafenwoehr Sgt. Kenneth D. Reed 7th Army Joint Multinational Training Command Public Affairs Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter ended his European tour with a visit to the Grafenwoehr Training Area and the 7th Army Joint Multinational Training Command today. “It is not a birth right that the people of America and Germany get to live the way they do now,” said Secretary Carter. “We have to continue to work hard to protect our people and that underlines the importance of the training you are doing here”. His stop in Bavaria, Germany, is the last of the countries he visited this week, including Estonia and Belgium. While here he participated in a series of meetings with European defense ministers and to participate in his first NATO Ministerial as Secretary of Defense. While in Grafenwoehr, Carter met with U.S. and Romanian Soldiers participating in U.S. Army Europe’s Exercise Combined Resolve IV. He observed a combined arms life fire training exercise which demonstrated the superior firepower capabilities possible through tactical level teamwork and successful interoperability. The training also showcased the capabilities of the Grafenwoehr Training Area and its ability to integrate a variety of weapons platforms for realistic training. The Photo by Markus Rauchenberger The Secretary of Defense of the United States of America, the Honorable Ashton Carter, speaks with Brig. Gen. Chris Cavoli, commanding general of the 7th Army Joint Multinational Training Command, during a visit to the U.S. Army’s Grafenwoehr Training Area, June 26. live fire training included the AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter, the M1A2 Abrams Tank, the M2A3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle, the M109A6 Paladin SelfPropelled Howitzer, and the Romanian BTR-80 Armored Personnel Carrier, as well as light infantry Romanian Soldiers. This live fire exercise was the culmination of Combined Resolve IV. The Combined Resolve series of exercises was designed to train participants to function together in a multinational and integrated environment and train U.S. Army rotational forces to Europe to be more flex- ible, agile and better able to operate alongside allies and partners. After observing training, Carter had lunch with junior officers, spoke about the mission in Europe and took questions from Soldiers living and training in the Grafenwoehr community. “You are deterring aggression, you are preparing to respond to crises, you are preparing to deal with terrorism and this is necessary for a civilized society to exist. You do it with your colleagues here in Europe because they see things the way you do, they share a lot of the same values that we have, so they are natural allies because we stand for the same things. That is the best kind of ally you can possibly have. Secretary Carter ended his visit by individually thanking every Soldier present for their service.

New IMCOM Voluntary Placement Program launches By HQ IMCOM Civilian Personnel Branch U.S. Army Installation Management Command The Installation Management Command’s new Voluntary Placement Program will give first consideration to internal employees wishing to move overseas or return to the continental U.S. from an overseas position. Beginning June 30 eligible permanent IMCOM GS-09 and above (or wage grade equivalent) employees were able to apply to available positions posted on an AKO portal on a weekly basis. The goal of the program is to allow current employees an opportunity to volunteer for career-broadening assignments within the command before considering outside applicants. At this time, the program does not include opportunities for CONUS to CONUS or OCONUS to OCONUS movement, and does not extend to nonappropriated fund (NAF) employees due to regulatory issues. Employees may apply for multiple positions, but are limited to using a single resume during any given week. In accordance with DoD Priority www.wiesbaden.army.mil ........................................................................... July 2, 2015 Placement Program policy, valid job offers made under the IVPP will be considered legitimate for IMCOM OCONUS employees registered in PPP. Declining an IVPP valid job offer may result in removal from PPP and may subject the employee to adverse action. OCONUS PPP registrants should submit resumes only for positions they are prepared to accept. Herald Union Page 13 For your health Prevention and early detection can improve men’s health By Lauren A. Shirey U�S� Army Public Health Command American men are at risk for living less healthy and shorter lives than American women. According to the Men’s Health Network, this risk may be a “silent health crisis” in the United States and is also one that we can act on. There are several reasons that men may be at higher risk for sickness and death than women. For example, a report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that women are 100 percent more likely to visit the doctor for annual exams and for services to support health than men. Men are also more likely than women to smoke cigarettes, to die in motor vehicle accidents and experience other preventable events. According to the Men’s Health Network, for younger men, much of the difference comes from increased risk-taking and suicide. Society also often does not promote healthy behaviors for boys and men. Men aren’t the only ones affected by these health issues and these risks. Since women generally live longer than men, they see their dads, brothers, sons, husbands and friends suffer or die early. Each June, the nation celebrates Men’s Health Month to increase awareness of preventable health issues and encourage early detection and treatment for men and boys. To reduce men’s health risks and identify and treat any health conditions or diseases early, focus on the following three areas: Make healthy lifestyle choices • Get quality sleep, engage in physical activity and improve nutrition. These are the focus of the Army Medicine’s Performance Triad campaign and they are fundamental mechanisms to optimize health. • Do not smoke and avoid secondhand smoke. • Drink alcohol only in moderation and find a designated driver to ensure that no one drinks and drives. Army Wellness Centers, and installation resources such as athletic centers and recreational programs, can help make and continue these important changes for health. Taking care of mental and emotional health is also of key importance. Men often experience stress and suffer from depression. They are also less likely to seek help for depression than women are and are four times as likely to commit suicide as women. Depression affects overall health and well-being and shouldn’t be ignored. To help improve mental and emotional health: • Find ways to de-stress, including maximizing physical activity and sleep. • Talk to a chaplain or health care professional if there is a struggle with negative thoughts, excessive worries or hopelessness. • If there are suicidal thoughts or plans for suicide, speak to a chaplain, behavioral health professional, healthcare provider or to a member of the chain of command immediately. Get regular health exams • Schedule an appointment to see a health care provider for a health checkup at least once per year. • Go to the exam prepared to share personal medical history, including current or past substance use, risk factors for sexually transmitted diseases, diet and exercise habits and symptoms of Photo courtesy of U.S. Army Sgt. Nicholas Johnson, U.S. Forces Korea Soldier of the Year, finishes the pushup portion of the Army Physical Fitness Test during the 6th Annual Department of the Army Best Warrior Competition at Fort Lee, Va. depression. Although it may seem hard to share, it is important to communicate this information to the medical provider. • Bring up any questions or concerns about any particular health issues, signs, or symptoms with the provider during the exam. Get screened for early detection Early detection of many conditions or diseases can lead to early treatment and can often reduce suffering or risk of death. To ensure appropriate preventive screenings are received and to increase chances of finding any health issue early: • Know the medical history of family and share it with the health care provider. If a family member was recently diagnosed with a disease, be sure to update this information with the provider. Knowing family medical history can help the provider identify any screenings that might be of special importance. • Keep any follow-up screening appointments that the provider recommends. Screenings like colonoscopies, blood pressure checks and blood tests are all important parts of prevention and early detection of illness and disease. Women are in a unique position to help men to overcome barriers they face in getting health care and in detecting potential health risks or diseases early. Men can be supported through positive encouragement and letting them know it is a sign of strength to prevent and address health risks or conditions. Men and women can both help boys and teenagers develop these habits early in life, which is the best course of prevention. For more information on how to make healthy lifestyle choices, obtain a health exam or seek early screening, contact your primary care provider. Veterans Affairs asks service members, veterans to monitor health with Burn Pit Registry Type of waste burned By the Department of Veterans Affairs Burn pits were a common way to get rid of waste at military sites in Iraq and Afghanistan. At this time, research does not show evidence of long-term health problems from exposure to burn pits. However, the VA continues to study the health of deployed Veterans. Health effects from burn pit smoke toxins in burn pit smoke may affect the skin, eyes, respiratory and cardiovascular systems, gastrointestinal tract and internal organs. Veterans who were closer to burn pit smoke or exposed for longer periods may be at greater risk. Health effects depend on a number of other factors, such as the kind of waste being burned and wind direction. Page 14 Herald Union Most of the irritation is temporary and resolves once the exposure is gone. This includes eye irritation and burning, coughing and throat irritation, breathing difficulties, and skin itching and rashes. The high level of fine dust and pollution common in Iraq and Afghanistan may pose a greater danger for respiratory illnesses than exposure to burn pits, according to a 2011 Institute of Medicine report. The type of waste products burned in burn pits include, but are not limited to: chemicals, paint, medical and human waste, metal/aluminum cans, munitions and other unexploded ordnance, petroleum and lubricant products, plastics, rubber, wood and discarded food. Health concerns Burning waste in open air pits can cause more pollution than controlled burning, such as in an incinerator. Health concerns? If you are concerned about your exposure to burn pits, talk to your health care provider or local VA Environmental Health Coordinator. VA health care is available to all combat Veterans for conditions possibly related to service for five years after discharge. Not enrolled in the VA health care system? Apply online. Action plan VA, in coordination with the Department of Defense, has developed a joint action plan to improve outreach, clinical care, surveillance, and research. Action plan Read the Feb. 4, 2013 notice in the Federal Register to learn more about VA’s strategy and action plan. Registry Join the Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry to help us learn more about potential health effects. Check your eligibility and sign up through an online questionnaire. Veterans may file a claim for disability compensation for health problems they believe are related to exposure to burn pits during military service. VA decides these claims on a case-by-case basis. File a claim online. Read Federal Benefits for Veterans, Dependents and Survivors to learn more about VA benefits.

Reese finds himself in a new and unfamiliar version of the past, where he is faced with unlikely allies, including the Guardian (Arnold Schwarzenegger), dangerous new enemies, and an unexpected new mission: To reset the future… Movie plots Minions — The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters—from T. rex to Napoleon—the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he—alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob—ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award® winner Sandra Bullock), the world’s first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind...from annihilation. Additionally, Minions is eaturing a soundtrack of hit music from the ’60s that still permeates our culture today. Poltergeist — Legendary filmmaker Sam Raimi (“Spiderman,” “Evil Dead”, “The Grudge”) and director Gil Kenan (“Monster House”) contemporize the classic tale about a family whose suburban home is haunted by evil forces.

Max — A precision-trained military dog, Max serves on the frontlines in Afghanistan alongside his handler, U.S. Marine Kyle Wincott. But when things go terribly wrong on maneuvers, Kyle is mortally wounded and Max, traumatized by the loss of his best friend, is unable to remain in service. Shipped stateside, the only human he seems willing to connect with is Kyle’s teenage brother, Justin, so Max is adopted by Kyle’s family, essentially saving his life. But Justin has issues of his own, such as living up to his father’s expectations for him; he isn’t interested in taking responsibility for his brother’s troubled dog. However, Max may be Justin’s only chance to discover what really happened to his brother that day on the front, and with the help of a tough-talking young teen, Carmen, who has a way with dogs, Justin begins to appreciate his canine companion. Justin’s growing trust in Max helps the four-legged veteran revert back to his heroic self, and as the pair race against time to unravel the mystery, they find more excitement—and danger—than they bargained for. But they each might also find an unlikely new best friend…in each other. www.wiesbaden.army.mil ...........................................................................

The fest, which began June 26 and runs through July 4, is being held on Hainerberg in the old PX parking lot and features rides, games, entertainment, and of course, food. “Wiesbaden residents and our neighboring communities have been welcoming us to their events with open “This really is arms,” said USAG our home in Wiesbaden Commander Col.

Gen. Ben Hodges. “Tonight we have the great opportunity to meet our neighbors in Wiesbaden and the surrounding communities,” Hodges said at the opening ceremonies. “It is an honor that you [our German neighbors] are celebrating with us.” Hodges added that he hoped everyone would go home, after the fest opening, having met someone from the other nation that they had not met yet. Gabriele Wolf, city counselor and representative of the lord mayor of the City of Wiesbaden at the opening ceremony, echoed General Hodges statements on friendship. “We, the City of Wiesbaden, are happy about the great relationships we have with you,” she said. “We are happy you have organized the festival and invited us out to it. People are excited to come back.” The festival is open to everyone and runs from noon to midnight everyday through July 4. The community is invited to watch fireworks at approximately 11 p.m. at the German-American Friendship Fest on Hainerberg. There will also be live music from noon until midnight.

While Roman historians described the Celts as head hunters and fierce warriors, modern historians have attempted to gain a more rounded depiction of those who resided throughout Europe living in farming communities, as shepherds and creating handicrafts that are still admired to this day. A visit to the Keltenwelt am Glauberg (Celtic World on the Glau Mountain) offers a glimpse into this ancient cultural heritage. Located northeast of Frankfurt, near the former U.S. military community in Büdingen, the Keltenwelt museum and surrounding open-air exhibits provide a unique way for people of all ages to explore this littleknown civilization. A giant burial mound, surrounded by intriguing trenches (possibly used by ancient priests) is set among rolling fields of bright yellow rapeseed plants. Overlooking this vast pastoral landscape is the museum which features a collection of jewelry, weapons, a complete statue of a Celtic warrior leader and exhibits detailing the language, lifestyles and other ties that united this Visitors observe a Celtic warrior leader as depicted cultural heritage in places from today’s Czech Republic in a sandstone statue unearthed in a nearby burial to northern Spain, Germany to Ireland. mound.
