to attend the Holocaust Day
of Remembrance event.
“We must always remember the
past and learn from its mistakes to
create to a better present and future
for ourselves and our children,” said
Chaplain (Capt.) Gary Davidson, 86th
Airlift Wing. “The Holocaust in my
opinion is one of the darkest chapters
in human history and there are a lot of
lessons we need to learn from to build
a better life.”

At nearly every rank of the Air
Force there is a professional development course awaiting completion. But
what happens when there is a lull in
training?
Where do NCOs and senior
NCOs go to reaffirm their values, norms
and supervisory skills? What can they
do to reinvigorate their core values?
This was the question the Air Force
set out to answer and the reason for
Air Force-wide professional enhancement seminars.
“It’s possible for Airmen to get
frustrated on their way to becoming
great leaders, but these courses help
by allowing them to sit and talk with
peers who are sharing in the same
supervisory conflicts,” said Master
Sgt. Etienne Tousignant, 86th Force
Support Squadron career assistance
adviser.
Tousignant added that the future of
the Air Force relies on its NCOs to
step up into the given roles.

promote those changes for the better,”

Dr. Seuss on leadership
by Col. Randall Reed
521st Air Mobility Wing
I
am not the first and certainly not the
last to turn to Theodor Geisel, better
known as children’s author Dr. Seuss,
for a light-hearted look at leadership.
Quip for quip, let’s see what we can learn from
a few rhymes from childhood times.
Commentary
1. “Unless someone like you cares a whole
awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s
not.” (From “The Lorax”) Every one of us can
make a difference, both for the mission and for
another individual. If we want improvement,
then let’s make it happen.
2. “The more that you read, the more things
you will know. The more that you learn, the
more places you’ll go.” (From “I Can Read
With My Eyes Shut!”) We all understand the
importance of professional military education,
but we must do more than that. A good place to
start is the chief of staff of the Air Force reading list. My recommendation is “Leading With
Honor: Leadership Lessons from the Hanoi
Hilton,” by former Air Force officer Lee Ellis.
He uses the backdrop of life as a Vietnam prisoner of war to discuss one of the most fascinating human behaviors — leadership. My favorite part of the book is his formula for success:
Purpose plus passion equals success. Success
really is a first class ticket for the ride of life.
Prepare for the trip with reading and learning.
3. “It’s not about what it is, it’s about what
it can become.” (From “The Lorax”) Airmen
are never satisfied with the achievements of
SEMINAR, from Page 1
Professional Enhancement Programs. The specifics and
standardization of senior NCO and NCO PE were established in 2009, nearly 10 years after the career assistance
advisor program was created, which was for retention
purposes. Both courses are geared toward growing the
enlisted core professionally.
“The seminar was very informative and beneficial,”
said Staff Sgt. Michael Carreon, 86th Logistics Readiness
Squadron unit deployment manager. “I learned how to better take care of my Airmen who work with me and how to
find their strengths and weaknesses, to help them whenever problems arise.”

Contents of the KA are not necessarily the official view

Defense or Department of the Air Force.
The appearance of advertising in this publication,
yesterday. I’ve heard it said that the best way to
predict the future is to make it. So, what are we
waiting for?
“I’ll Teach My Dog 100 Words”) This one is
simple; don’t take things at face value. Dig into
it,a then decide.
4. “It all began with a shoe on the wall. A shoe
on the wall shouldn’t be there at all.” (From
“Wacky Wednesday”) I can’t count the many
times I’ve walked past an opportunity to make
a correction to fix something that wasn’t right.
I’m sure that I’m the only one who’s ever done
that, so do me a favor and don’t start. Continue
to pick up pieces of trash on your way to the duty
station. Continue to remind neighbors to respect
quiet hours. Continue to confront unprofessional
behavior. No more Wacky Wednesdays!
7. “I’m telling you this ’cause you’re one
of my friends. My alphabet starts where your
alphabet ends!” (From “On Beyond Zebra!”)
We are all connected, no one is isolated. Look
to the left, look to the right. Take care of the
individual by your side and never leave them
behind. Sound familiar?
5. “And what would you do if you met a
jibboo?” (From “Oh, The Thinks You Can
Think!”) This is all about readiness! I’ve had
the opportunity to hear firsthand accounts of
readiness from the former captain of the USS
Cole, Cmdr. Kirk Lippold, as well as retired
United Airlines Captain Al Haynes. Lippold’s
ship was the target of a terrorist attack while
Haynes’s aircraft suffered a catastrophic failure,
forcing him to crash land at Sioux City, Iowa.
In each case, these leaders faced unique circumstances that were not in the training or operating
manuals. Nevertheless, they stared down their
fears and saved the lives of others because they
trained for the unexpected. Moments before
their worst day, they could not have told you
what they would do if they met a jibboo. In
the end it didn’t matter; they were the best at
their craft and they were ready for anything. So
bring it!
6. “Don’t judge a book by its cover” (From
8. “And what happened then? Well, in
Whoville they say that the Grinch’s small heart
grew three sizes that day” (From “How the
Grinch Stole Christmas! And other stories”)
When we have a sense of purpose, passion and
commitment, there is no limit to the good we
can do. I know at least two times a year when
Airmen’s hearts grow many sizes in a single day
— when we donate to the Air Force Assistance
Fund and the Combined Federal Campaign.
Do we really need to wait for semiannual campaigns to make a difference? Of course not!
Donating money has its place, but there are
plenty of other ways to keep from leaving an
Airman behind.
When we take a moment to think about it,
Dr. Seuss provides a number of leadership
insights. While they may seem whimsical on
the surface, the underlying meanings are actually quite profound. But I would be remiss if I
did not address the most fundamental leadership
principle from his most famous work, “The Cat
In the Hat.”
“Fun is good.” Let’s not forget to have fun.
Following a fun leader is, well, fun!

‘Every dollar counts’ ushers in new savings culture
by Amaani Lyle
Air Force Public Affairs
WASHINGTON — With budgets shrinking, Air
Force leaders are calling on Airmen to share their
best money-saving ideas through the Every Dollar
Counts campaign.
In the wake of sequestration, the initiative marks
a cultural shift that empowers Airmen to find and
recommend areas for savings that may be used to
support readiness needs, said Air Force Vice Chief
of Staff Gen. Larry Spencer.
Beginning May 1, Airmen can submit their
cost-reducing ideas via the Airmen Powered by
Innovation websites while at home, the office or
on their smartphone. Links to those sites will be
released soon.
Both uniformed and civilian Air Force members
can participate in the monthlong open call for ideas
and share their creative and efficient ways to save
money and time.
“When things get tough, Airmen figure out a
way to get it done,” Spencer said. “We have some
of the most innovative folks in the world, so I
know there are ideas about how we can do things
better.”
Spencer’s resource management and budgetrelated background amplifies the urgency to mine
those ideas.
“We stopped flying one-third of Air Force activeduty combat-coded fighter squadrons in April, and
we’re projected to slow down or stop the flow
of aircraft and engines in the depots,” Spencer
said.
Furthermore, he said, the Air Force must trim
about $11 billion in the last half of fiscal year 2013.
Additionally, our overseas contingency operations
funding is almost $2 billion short so we have to
make up that difference as well.
And the challenge is compounded by the sequester timeline, which officially began March 1.
“We have to squeeze a year’s worth of cuts into
about six months,” Spencer said of the Air Force
budget. “So there’s a lot of money to be taken out
of our budget in a short period of time ... I’ve never
seen anything quite like it.”
Airmen at every level should feel less encumbered by perhaps dated or unnecessary Air Force
Instructions or guidelines when brainstorming costcutting measures, the general said.
“Airmen Powered by Innovation means go into
that file of good ideas that were maybe ‘too hard
to do,’ pull them out and submit them,” Spencer
said. “If it’s a good idea and requires an Air Force
Instruction change, then we’ll see if we can do that.”
Spencer wants Airmen to submit their ideas
regardless of the idea’s potential savings.
“Whether it’s $500, $1 million or $30 million,
we want to hear it because those dollars add up,”
he said.
“We’re taking every angle we can to manage
our money and ‘buy’ as much mission as we can,”
he added. “In that sense, every Airman, whether
they’re at a wing or headquarters can help.”

ager, read a poem about the Holocaust.
Marianne von Hagen-Baralt spoke about her grandfather,
Albrecht von Hagen, who assisted with the assassination
attempt on Adolf Hitler and her experience growing up in postwar Germany.
Von Hagen was assigned to the Africa campaign during
World War II, where he got to know Claus Graf Schenk von
Stauffenberg. They discovered they had mutual feelings for the
fate of Germany’s future and joined the resistance movement
against the Nazis.
“(Von Hagen) was the courier between the locations where
he retrieved the explosives (to who needed it),” said HagenBaralt. “(Von Hagen) was sentenced to death and hanged on
Aug. 8, 1944, for his involvement (in the assassination attempt
on Hitler.)”
Von Hagen’s explosives were used during Operation Valkerie,
the most successful attempt on Hitler’s life, during a meeting
at the secret military headquarters, known as The Wolf’s Lair.
“(Marianne von Hagen-Baralt’s) relatives were involved
in fighting against Hitler and those who supported him,”
Davidson said. “Today, we heard from her how important it is
to defend justice and freedom, and she wants to pass the lesson
on of peace and tolerance to the next generation just as I do.”

Spencer said the Every Dollar Counts campaign
does not just focus on our wings but includes those
large centrally managed accounts as well.
“The Centralized Asset Management Office at
Wright Patterson AFB manages the money we
spend on flying hours, sustaining space operations
and depot operations — over $16 billion — so
we’re taking a close review of that account to determine how we can stretch those dollars,” Spencer
said. “This is an opportunity to not only look at
homegrown ideas, but broader ideas that affect the
larger Air Force as well.”
The general expressed optimism in quickly finding solutions through ideas.
“Innovation is what we’re all about,” Spencer
said. “This is our family and we’re going to get
through this because we’ve got great Airmen to help
see us through this.”

Earth Day 2013: Conserve today, secure tomorrow
From the 86th Civil Engineer Squadron
On Monday, more than 1 billion people in 192
countries worldwide will celebrate Earth Day.
Earth Day was first celebrated in the U.S. on
April 22, 1970. U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson from
Wisconsin initiated the national day of education.
The decision was made to create the day because
more than 20 million Americans demonstrated in
coast-to-coast rallies. They were protesting because
they wanted a healthy, sustainable environment.
The event was so successful it led to the creation of
the Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered
Species Acts.
As a result, Americans began honoring Earth Day
on April 22 every year. In 1990, Earth Day went
global in 141 countries, and the event continues to
spread internationally, providing a powerful focal
point so people can demonstrate their commitment
to being good stewards of the environment.
The aim for a clean environment continues as the
possibility of climate change becomes more apparent every day. Scientists worldwide have found
evidence suggesting the need to take action is more
important than ever.
As we have seen in recent news, larger and more
frequent storms are occurring; you only have to
remember Huricane Sandy in 2012. The Mississippi
River experienced two 500-year floods in 20 years,
in 1993 and 2011, while Nashville suffered from
the equivalent of a 1,000-year flood that caused
$2 billion in damages in 2010. Though these may
seem like extreme examples, they are becoming
more common. If we don’t rethink our consumer
behavior, we could steer our communities into an
ecological crisis.
We don’t have to give up our lifestyles in order to
effect a change; we only need to make smarter decisions. Do you really need to buy a new cell phone
every 12 months? Can you use the old cotton shirt
as a rag instead of buying new rags? Are you willing to purchase products from the many companies
who use sustainable practices whenever possible?
There is a popular movement toward sustainable
consumerism occurring in the U.S., which promotes
purchasing goods that are produced with the minimum amount of resource consumed in the production of those goods.
Sustainable consumerism can best be described
with an organic farmers market. The food is grown
without chemicals and shipped to a local market
where it is purchased by the consumer. A large
supermarket provides goods that are grown thousands of miles away, sometimes in a location that
requires extensive irrigation; with various chemicals
applied to increase the production of the food; and
ships the food to a large store that consumes large
amount of electricity where it is purchased by the
consumer.
Farmers markets provide minimum resources
used to produce a product that provides just as much,
if not more, benefit to the consumer - you. Did you
know many nearby cities, including Kaiserslautern,
hold regular farmers markets?
Each of us can play a part in reducing our ecological footprint. Start with small steps, like changing your conventional light bulbs to energy saving
bulbs, such as LED or CTL bulbs. These more efficient bulbs use 80 percent less energy and can last
10 times longer. Imagine, just replacing 10 bulbs
will pay for themselves within one year, saving
you about €25 per year, and reduce 14 kilograms of
carbon emissions from being produced by electrical
companies each year.
Additionally, fully powering off electronics, or
even unplugging them, instead of keeping them on
standby will save both energy and money, as will
washing your clothes at a lower temperature to
reduce hot water bills.
Another way to reduce the impact you have on the
environment is to replace large vehicles with more
fuel-efficient models.
Vehicles powered by alternative fuel sources, like
electricity and biofuels, are becoming increasingly
available and more affordable. Simply giving your
vehicle regular tune-ups, ensuring your tires are
inflated to the proper air pressure, and driving more
conservatively will increase your vehicle’s efficiency.
Keep in mind reducing the number of trips you take
in your car, taking public transportation, car-pooling,
bicycling, walking, or shopping at neighborhood
stores can reduce the impact to the environment as
well.
During Earth Day 2013, think about all the little
things you can do that will save money at home
and at work, protect the environment, and help your
family to focus on sustainability.

importance of maintaining our facilities and the significance of taking
pride in where we live and work,
the 86th Airlift Wing is pleased to
announce its spring cleanup event
Thursday and April 26.
All Ramstein, Kapaun and
Vogelweh Air Station tenant units and
military family housing residents are
expected to participate. This year, the
86th AW is pleased to partner with
U.S. Army Garrision Kaiserslautern to
accomplish a joint operations spring
cleanup across the KMC.
In addition to spring cleanup, we
will also be implementing the 86th
AW Base Pride Program. The intent of
the Base Pride Program is to encourage all personnel to take pride in the
appearance of the KMC.
This is accomplished by assigning each unit to specific areas of
responsibility (similar to the Adopt A
Highway program). Each group and
tenant on Ramstein, Vogelweh and
Kapaun has a designated area where
they must ensure a neat, healthy and
clean appearance. A base pride checklist will be provided to the group and
tenant points of contact to facilitate
the cleanup expectations.
The Base Pride Program does not
release facility managers from their
current responsibilities to clean within 100 feet of their facility. Instead,
it supplements the facility manager
program by assigning ownership to
all other areas beyond the immediate
vicinity of a facility.
The intent of this program is to
encourage all community members
to take pride in the appearance of the
base and provide commanders with an
organized and effective means to initiate such efforts.
Base pride days are scheduled
whenever deemed necessary by the
86th AW leadership, at a minimum of
twice a year in conjunction with fall
and spring cleanup days.
On Thursday, the focus will be on
cleaning administrative and industrial
facilities, grounds, and common areas
across the KMC. Objectives include
litter collecting, weed pulling, trimming overgrown shrubs, tidying plant
beds, removing tree limbs and pine
cones, and raking and bagging leaves.
Friday is specifically set aside for
members of the MFH community
to focus attention on common areas
like playgrounds, walkways and areas
around the underground dumpsters.
Residents will receive instructions
in their mailboxes indicating their
respective gathering location.
Spring cleanup points of contact
will be at these locations to provide
supplies and further instructions. With
participation mandatory for housing
residents, this is a great opportunity
to team with your neighbors to foster
community pride in the areas where
you and your families live and play.
During the spring cleanup activities,
the 786th Civil Engineer Squadron
will coordinate additional trash pickup services. Cleanup participants can
simply place debris on the curbs of
major roadways.
Biodegradable items should be in
two piles — one for small wood
branches up to four inches in diameter, and another for larger branches.
Refuse/trash debris can be placed in
the nearest underground dumpster, or
also on the curbside near the biode-
gradable items. Items such as batteries, glass, bulk paper and metal should
be taken to the nearest recycling center: Ramstein, Bldg. 5146, 06371-474191; or Kapaun, Bldg. 2820, 0631536-6280). The 786th CES customer
service desk can be reached by phone
at 489-6623/7703/7107 or 0631-5366623/7703/7107.
The KMC Self-Help Store, Bldg.
510 on Ramstein, has a variety of
equipment, tools and materials available to assist units in this cleanup.
Facility managers, first sergeants,
airman dorm leaders and squadron
commanders may check out hand
tools, power tools, weed and hedge
trimmers, power washers, rakes, shovels, and other tools and material that
will assist in getting the work done.
They can be contacted at 480-5034 or
06371-47-5034.
The spring cleanup days and the
86th AW Base Pride Program are
sure to improve the appearance of our
KMC military installations. We look
forward to everyone’s participation as
we work together to make the KMC a
better place to work and live.

AWARD, from Page 5
advocate general and the sergeant major of the Army.
“It is my distinct pleasure to congratulate you (Berry
and Hillberry) on your outstanding achievement,” said
Sgt. Maj. of the Army Raymond F. Chandler. “Your professionalism, dedication and willingness to succeed are
qualities that make our Army and nation a great one.”
On Oct. 19, 2012, both NCOs met with other paralegal Soldiers from all over Europe in Heidelberg,
Germany, for a full day of competing. They began with
the Army physical fitness test and immediately moved
into an eight-mile ruck march with a 35-pound field
pack.
Next, the Soldiers conducted a weapons qualification
on an engagement skills trainer and went through five
warrior skills assessment stations including land navigation and first aid. Finally, each Soldier completed a
50-question military occupational specialty specific
exam and an oral board before all chief paralegals
assigned in Europe, said Sgt. Maj. Diana C. Clark, the
USAREUR command paralegal.
“For anyone who doesn’t know, standing before a
board consisting entirely of paralegals can be somewhat unnerving,” Clark said with a laugh. “These two
demonstrated that they are among the best Soldiers and
are carrying on in Army tradition by winning this competition.”
Both winners expressed their joy in winning the competition after the award ceremony.
“It was a great experience, having the chance to
compete against my battle buddies in this competition,”
Berry said. “Every NCO I’ve ever had always pushed
me to be the best. It is great to be counted among the
best in my field, but what I really enjoyed was competing alongside my battle buddies.”

AF restarts tuition assistance
by Staff Sgt. David Salanitri
Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs
WASHINGTON — The Air Force has officially
restarted military tuition assistance, effective immediately.
The service restarted the program as a result
of the Consolidated and Further Continuing
Appropriations Act of 2013, where Congress called
for the MTA program to continue in the current fiscal year.
As a result of the restart, the program will resume
the same benefits as before. Airmen are eligible
for up to $4,500 per fiscal year and a maximum of
$250 per semester hour or quarter hour equivalent
to cover tuition and allowable fees. Military tuition
assistance is not available retroactively to cover
courses taken and paid for using any other funding source during the suspension of military tuition
assistance.
“Military tuition assistance will be the same pro-
gram Airmen are used to,” said Russell Frasz, the
director of Force Development. “The same policies
and procedures will be in place.”
With this change, current and future Airmen
will be given another tool to develop
professionally through advanced education, Frasz
said.
“Voluntary education and military tuition assistance programs continue to be integral to the
recruiting, retention and readiness of Airmen and
contribute to institutional competencies,” said Kim
Yates, the Air Force Voluntary Education chief. “In
the long term, the Air Force will still be able to
leverage the learning achieved by Airmen to ensure
a dynamic, flexible force able to work in uncertain
environments around the world. The will have the
ability to think critically.”
Looking to the future, Frasz notes that they are
trying to maintain the balance of the military tuition
assistance benefits while also ensuring the force is
ready and equipped for operations.
“We are working with senior leaders to develop
a way ahead for fiscal year 2014 that takes into
account both the value of the (military tuition
assistance) program as well as maintaining the
financial health of the program within funding constraints.”
Though times may seem uncertain, Frasz wants
to reassure Airmen of senior leaders’ commitment
to Airmen and their education.
The Air Force continues to value education as a
force multiplier and Airmen should take advantage
of educational opportunities making them more proficient in their profession, setting them up for success in their career.
Like all organizations going through sequestration and budgetary struggles, Frasz is committed to
fighting for the best Air Force possible.
“Fiscal constraints create a challenge that Air
Force leadership continues to work through,” he
said. “We strive to meet the needs of Airmen and
the Air Force.”
Emergency leave: Do you know what to do?
by Master Sgt. Lora Bright
Headquarters U.S. Air Forces in
Europe Staff Judge Advocate
You may find yourself wondering
why a master sergeant from the Staff
Judge Advocate’s Office is writing
about emergency leave. After all, I
am not a subject matter expert on the
topic. After a recent situation within
my office, I wanted to share some
valuable information that may help if
you ever find yourself in an unfortunate situation and need to get home in
a hurry. Emergency leave is an entitlement I hope you never need to use, but
if you do need it, here’s some information that may be helpful to you.
Emergency leave is chargeable
leave granted for personal or family
emergencies involving your immediate family or that of your spouse.
Specifically included are parents (and
stepparents), children, siblings, sole
surviving blood relatives, or anyone
who served in-loco-parentis.
What does in-loco-parentis mean
to you? This covers individuals who
stood in place of a member’s parent(s)
for a period of at least five years
before the member became 21 years
of age or entered military service
and provided a home, food, clothing,
medical care, and other necessities,
and gave moral, disciplinary guidance, and affection. Did a grandparent
raise you? If so, you might be eligible
for emergency leave to travel home
if they have a situation that requires
your presence.
Who do you contact in the event of
an emergency? Call your supervisor
and first sergeant immediately. Also,
request your family members back
home get in touch with the American
Red Cross right away to verify the
emergency and provide critical information to decision makers. Early contact with these people will ensure
you get home as soon as possible.
What if you’re TDY when a tragedy
occurs? Thankfully, first sergeants are
just about everywhere. Find one, tell
them you need help and I guarantee
you will get immediate assistance.
We all know living overseas can be
expensive and unexpected trips can
drain bank accounts. Here’s the good
news: In a verified emergency leave
situation, the Air Force will pay to get
you and your family back home. The
Joint Federal Travel Regulation authorizes funding for emergency travel for
military members and/or their dependents. Space-required government
transportation must be used if reasonably available, but you may also work
through your local SATO office for
assistance. After normal duty hours,
call the 24-hour hotline.
Even if you don’t meet the technical requirements to be considered
for emergency leave, it is possible to
elevate your priority for Space-A travel.
“Unit commanders can make a
determination for a travel category
upgrade and send a request letter to
the passenger terminal. This can bump
a member to a priority higher than
those members on ordinary leave,”
said Staff Sgt. Keith Booze, NCOIC
of Personnel Actions for Headquarters
U.S. Air Forces in Europe.
Please note, this “bump in priority” is only effective for the flight out;
it has no impact on priority for the
returning flight.
Did you know Department of
Defense civilian workers may also
potentially be entitled to emergency
leave travel?
“Depending on their contract and
status, civilians or their spouses may
be eligible and should contact the
Civilian Personnel Office for more
information,” Booze said.
Regardless of the individual relationship, when you learn of a lifethreatening situation or death of a
family member and you need to
go home, you should immediately contact your supervisor and first
sergeant. They are armed with the
tools to help determine emergency
leave eligibility and the steps required
to get you home as quickly as possible.

Command organization hosts largest CPI course in AF history
Story and photo by
Tech. Sgt. James M. Hodgman
U.S. Air Forces in Europe and
Air Forces Africa Public Affairs
A
irmen first class to colonels and civilians
from more than 10 Air Force specialties
discussed ways to improve work center
processes and remove waste during the
Air Force Smart Operations for the 21st
Century Continuous Process Improvement Course
here April 1 to 4.
The four-day class, also referred to as the Green
Belt Process Improvement Course, consisted of 55
students, the largest CPI course in Air Force history.
Janet Boyd, a senior CPI analyst with the U.S. Air
Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa Business
Transformation Office and the lead instructor for the
class, said she’s proud of how the BTO team came
together to support the class.
“We are used to working in smaller classes so
everyone in the BTO had to put our heads together,
because there were a lot of logistics involved in this,”
Boyd said. “Everyone applied their input. I had a lot
of help from the BTO team and the class wouldn’t
have been possible without everyone on the team
contributing; that’s why this was successful.
“I was a little nervous about the class because the
class was so large and it had never been attempted
before,” she added. “I was proud to be a part of it.”
The CPI course is designed to teach people how
to identify and eliminate non-value added activities
within processes.
Staff Sgt. Bronshay M. Limson, a quality assurance inspector for the 86th Medical Operations
Squadron, said he enjoyed the CPI course and has
already started applying process improvement tools
in his office.
“The tools I learned in the CPI class will give me
the opportunity to analyze our current processes and
ask the questions,” Limson said. “Is there any value
to the way we conduct business now and where is
the waste that can be trimmed?
“I have already started and my co-workers are on
board with some of the improvements,” he continued. “For example, my job requires a lot of walking and at the end of the night a detailed brief is
provided to the production supervisor about all QA
(quality assurance) inspections done that day.”
Much of this walking Limson describes requires
Airmen to leave their work areas to reference Air
Force Instructions. This reduces the time Airmen
have to perform their specific mission.
“I made the suggestion of installing commonly
used AFIs on our e-tools to cut down on the time
needed to walk back to the office and look up the
reference,” Limson said. “This improvement not
only gives time back to inspectors, but also gives
leadership a much needed head start in case a root

cause analyst report must be accomplished.”
Before attending the CPI course, students were
asked to review processes in their units and identify a task that could be performed more efficiently.
The students then used the eight step problem solving model, along with other tools, to find ways to
enhance that particular inefficiency. Students also
worked to develop solutions in small groups.
The class tackled some important topics including the officer performance report process, assigning people to the appropriate Air Expeditionary
Force band and scheduling squadron leave.
Capt. Stuart G. Jessup, an operations flight commander with the 86th Communications Squadron,
was a member of the group that tried to develop a
solution to the AEF assignment process. He said the
class was a valuable experience.
“Every person assigned to USAFE is assigned
to an AEF band; however, we’re not currently at
100 percent. We worked on ways to tighten up the
process to bring the command into compliance,”
Jessup said.
While working a deployment issue doesn’t sound
like something that falls in the communications
specialty arena, Jessup said the way the CPI course
teaches students to analyze problems provided a
foundation to analyze processes in his unit.
“Even though we were working a problem that
didn’t relate to the communications squadron specifically, the analysis tools can still be applied to the
communications squadron and are applicable to IT
type questions as well,” he said.
“One thing I took away is not rushing to jump to
a conclusion,” Jessup added. “The eight step problem solving model forces you to break down the
problem before you start running toward a solution
to make sure you’re running in the right direction.”
A major focus area of the CPI class is finding
ways to enhance processes thereby making those
processes more efficient, something everyone can
benefit from, said Thomas L. Jones, a process
improvement and business strategy analyst with the
USAFE-AFAFRICA BTO.
“Especially with the environment we’re operating
in today with the budget and resource constraints
we have, it’s even more important that everyone is
engaged and keeps an eye toward improvements in
their areas,” Jones said.
The command completed 26 AFSO 21 projects in
2012, which led to more than $6 million in savings
and a reduction in man-hours of 90,000, according
to the USAFE-AFAFRICA BTO.
The CPI course is open to all Airmen and civilians assigned to the USAFE-AFAFRICA theater.
Currently, the course is offered here and at Royal
Air Force Lakenheath and Mildenhall in the United
Kingdom.

National Laboratory Week
recognizing vital role of lab professionals in health care
by Master Sgt. Daniel Santiago
Landstuhl Regional Medical Center
Military Laboratory Technician
National Laboratory Week takes place from
Monday to April 26, but what it highlights is
more than 1.5 million tests performed annually at
Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. In addition,
LRMC labs also provide testing services to 17
outlying military health care facilities in Belgium,
Germany and Italy.
The agency responsible for those tests is
the LRMC Department of Pathology and Area
Laboratory Services, which consists of six divisions: area laboratory compliance and consultation
services, anatomic pathology, blood services, central operations, core lab and infectious disease.
A dedicated staff comprised of more than 150
military, civilian and local national is responsible for
handling the massive workload. Much of the work is
performed out of sight of the rest of the hospital.
“We are happy to honor these unsung heroes of
the hospital during National Laboratory Week. They
work around the clock to generate the critical results
that count for our patients,” said Lt. Col. Michael
Licata, director for the DPALS.
Some of the most important steps in lab testing begin within phlebotomy and central operations. LRMC phlebotomists, medical professionals who draw blood from patients for various lab
tests and procedures, draw blood for inpatients and
more than 100 outpatients each day. In 2012, central operations received and processed more than
120,000 samples from outlying clinics, 26,000
patient drop-off samples and 25,000 samples from
theater.
“Central operations is the hub for all lab samples
for LRMC and its footprints,” said Capt. Farah
Jayman, central operations officer in charge. “It also
sends close to 2,500 specimens to reference labs
each month.”
The infectious diseases lab works closely with
clinicians to provide early diagnosis and optimum
management of infectious diseases. It is home to
what Maj. Edward Ager, infectious disease OIC,
describes as “the microbe experts who identify
infectious agents in body fluids and tissues.”
Despite the advanced technology employed in
microbiology, however, Ager said there is little
automation used by LRMC lab technicians.
“Most of the work depends on the experience, the
eyes and even the nose of the technologist,” he said.
Blood services is home to LRMC’s Blood Donor
Center, the blood bank and tissue services. The
donor center conducted more than 150 blood drives
last year, which yielded approximately 5,615 units
of blood and 479 units of platelets, while the blood
bank processes these donations and provides blood
to patients throughout European Command and
Africa Command. In 2012, 1,500 blood products
were transfused to LRMC patients, said blood services director Lt. Col. Robin Whitacre.
The core lab comprises hematology, chemistry,
endocrinology, noncellular immunology, and urinalysis and coagulation labs. The core lab is highly
automated with cutting-edge technology used to
perform more than 1 million clinical tests annually.
“Core lab is the heart of the laboratory,” said core
lab NCOIC Sgt. 1st Class Ryan Doutt.
Anatomic pathology consists of cytology and
histology. Cytology prepares and screens more than
2,100 gynecological and non-gynecological slides
monthly to rule out malignancies, while histology
prepares, cuts and stains more than 150 surgical,
cytology and autopsy tissue blocks daily for microscopic examination by eight surgical pathologists.

also provides reporting of 19 point-of-care testing sites
within LRMC by constantly monitoring and inspecting for compliance with the College of American
Pathologist and Joint Commission standards.
They are also a consulting and monitoring agency for all 17 Army laboratories within the Europe
Regional Medical Command footprint.
“Constant oversight and on-site visits were key
to the accreditation of all 17 Army health clinics by
the College of American Pathologist,” said ALCCS
OIC Maj. Jimmey Labit.
“We are proud of our team. They are an excellent
group of laboratory professionals working behind
the scenes to provide timely and accurate results to
improve patient’s health,” said DPALS lab manager
Lt. Col. Tracey Wilson.
AF officials announce civilian reduction in force
WASHINGTON — In a continuing effort to meet the Department of
Defense funding targets in the FY12
President’s Budget and re-balance the
civilian workforce, approximately 60
Air Force installations will implement
civilian reduction in force authorities
effective through about Aug. 23, to
assist in the placement of employees
not assigned against funded positions
(termed “surplus employees”).
These actions started in FY12 and
are not related to the current sequestration actions.
To meet the funding targets in the
FY12 President’s Budget, the Air
Force was required to reduce more
than 16,000 civilian positions. The
Air Force was able to successfully
reduce approximately 15,000 posi-
tions minimizing adverse impact to
civilian personnel, but now needs to
use RIF authorities, which will provide options to help place most of
the remaining civilians on unfunded
positions.
RIF procedures allow greater flexibility for employees to be placed at
their installations and still retain their
grade or pay. In addition, the use of
RIF procedures allows for eligible
employees who cannot immediately
be placed in local vacancies to be
registered in the Priority Placement
Program.
“Voluntary efforts to balance the
civilian workforce in FY12 have gotten us significantly closer to funded
levels, but we still have a way to
go in placing the number of sur-
plus employees to funded vacancies,
and RIF authorities will enable us to
achieve that goal,” said Brig. Gen.
Gina Grosso, the director of force
management policy for the Air Force.
“The Air Force recognizes and strives
to balance the invaluable contributions of our civilian workforce with
the fiscal realities under which the
Department of Defense and the government as a whole are operating. We
continue to focus on minimizing the
impact on our current civilian workforce and their families.”
As the Air Force continues to shape
the work force, starting the RIF procedures will provide installations greater
flexibility to further realign and rebalance the civilian force.
“Usually a reduction in force has
negative perception, but the use of
RIF procedures will allow many
employees to be retained and continue employment with the Air Force,”
Grosso said. “We want to assure
everyone involved with this process
that we remain committed to minimizing the impacts during these times of
transition.”
The processes available use reduction in force procedures to determine employee placement rights into
vacancies as well as provide the flexibility to waive qualifications to create
more placement options.

employment, reduction in force and

Don’t store government equipment in cars
by Tech. Sgt. Chad Thompson
86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
It’s an all-too-common occurrence
in any part of the world — that sick
feeling you get when you are walking
up to your car and see a pile of glass
around it. Someone has smashed your
window and stolen your valuables –
but could you have avoided being a
target?
The KMC Crime Watch program,
which started Jan. 1, has been used to
track trends in crimes being committed in the community, such as larcenies, vandalism and assaults, with the
main focus on trying to reduce vehicle
break-ins.
Master Sgt. Scott Vermeire, 86th
Security Forces Squadron intelligence
flight superintendent, heads up the
program and said one of the biggest
issues here is people leaving their car
doors unlocked.
“There were 31 larcenies in the
month of March, with 22 of those
being…vehicle break-ins,” Vermeire
said. “More than 80 percent of those
reported occurred due to a vehicle
being unlocked.”
Of those, he said 14 of the vehicle
break-ins had government items stolen out of them. Anything from cell
phones and laptops to gas masks and
other professional gear; thousands of
dollars of government equipment has
been stolen out of cars.
Some tips to use to avoid being a
“soft” target are:
• Lock your car. It might sound
simple but people often leave their
cars unlocked even on base. Make a
habit to lock your car at all times.
• Park near other cars and use parking garages when possible. Some people would think parking away from
vehicles would be safe — it might
keep you from a ding or two but
being away from other cars also
makes it a target to criminals. Parking
in a garage is safer than parking on
the street.
• Never hide spare keys in or
around the car. Experienced thieves
know all the hiding places. If your
vehicle is parked outside your house
and there is a spare key in it, a good
thief just got access to your home.
• Don’t make your vehicles stand
out as being an American car. Remove
all your local team stickers and anything that really stands out as being
a foreigner. The less someone thinks
there may be something hiding, the
better the chances the thief will walk
right by.
• Don’t leave things in plain sight.
Lock items in the glove box or put
them in the trunk. If it’s not visible
it is less likely to draw attention. It’s
also advised to never leave anything
in the vehicle overnight or for extended periods.
Even if someone takes the appropriate measures, there is still a possibility
of being a quick-handed thief’s victim, but be aware that if government
equipment is involved, the local judge
advocate office will be called.
“In most cases involving personal
property, you would file a report for
the lost items with your insurance
company and hopefully get reimbursed by your car insurance,” said
Richard Desmond, 86th Airlift Wing
judge advocate office. “However, in
the case of government-issued equipment, a report of survey is required
to determine whether the loss of the
government equipment was due to the
military member’s own negligence or
intentional misconduct.”
When a member reports the loss
of government equipment, the unit
maintaining the equipment initiates
the ROS, he added. An investigation
into how the government equipment
was lost is also initiated.
When it comes to professional
gear everyone should know they are
responsible for items even if they are
lost or stolen.
“Everyone needs to know they can
be held financially liable for lost or
damaged government-issued items
if a ROS investigation determines
their negligence was the cause for
the loss or damage,” Desmond said.
“Financial liability can include up to
one month’s pay.”
An example of negligence is if
someone knowingly stores government equipment in plain sight in a
vehicle and the item gets stolen, he
explained. Also, deliberate misuse of
government property could be just as
costly to an Airman.
“A report of survey will be conducted by an investigating officer who
is appointed by the unit commander,
and even in the case of someone being
found negligent there is always the
opportunity to appeal the determination of financial liability,” Desmond
said.
“It’s a case-by-case basis whether
someone was negligent or not, and
the facts of each case are critical,”
he said. “If someone had his government equipment in the trunk of his

21st STB hosts Best Warrior Competition

Staff Sgt. Alexander A. Burnett
21st Theater Sustainment Command
Public Affairs
T
welve Soldiers, NCOs and officers competed in this year’s 21st Special Troops
Battalion, 21st Theater Sustainment
Command Best Warrior competition
March 28 through April 4.
The competitors came from throughout the 21st
STB including Headquarters and Headquarters
Company, 266th Financial Management Support
Center and 5th Quartermaster Detachment. The
warriors came from a variety of Soldiering backgrounds from brand new privates to warriors with
multiple deployments, and each of them came to
win.
“This is a great competition and I am happy to
be a part of it,” said Pfc. Shane T. Waite, an intelligence analyst assigned to the 21st TSC. “I think
everyone is giving their all in this competition… it’s
definitely tough.”
The competition began in Landstuhl with a
qualification range. Each warrior zeroed and
qualified to the best of their ability with their
assigned weapon which included the M16 rifle and
M9 pistol.
On April 1, the competition resumed at 4:30 a.m.
on Rhine Ordnance Barracks for pre-combat inspections and an alternate event Army physical fitness
test. The Soldiers conducted the push-up and sit-up
events in the Army Combat Uniform and running
shoes. They also conducted the two-mile run event
in the same uniform while carrying an M16, said
Master Sgt. Kory L. Ysen, the 21st STB operations
sergeant.
The competitors immediately went from the
APFT into a 12-mile timed ruck-march with a
50-pound pack.
“The ruck-march was definitely the hardest part
of the competition,” said Pvt. Kyle M. Stephens, a
parachute rigger assigned to the 5th QM Det., 21st
STB. “We were already tired from doing the PT-test
so rucking 12 miles on top of that really took it out
of us.”
The day ended with a first aid evaluation followed by a stress-shooting and reflexive-fire range.
The stress-shoot and reflexive-fire range was conducted on Panzer Kaserne at the Engagement Skills
Trainer 2000.
“Before they got to fire, we made the competitors do various exercises to tire them out,” Ysen
said. “The goal for the cadre is to make sure each
of these warriors goes home completely exhausted
every day. Then, they come back the next day and
we wear them out all over again.”
The following day began at 6:30 a.m. with individual evaluations on the competitor’s ability to
instruct physical readiness training. Each warrior
was heavily scrutinized on each exercise. One false
move, wrong command or improper cadence would
cost points.
The competition moved into a classroom for individual weapons and grenade familiarity and then
back outdoors for a media engagement lane.
“The Soldiers were graded on their ability
to interact with civilian news media. They were
asked questions based on a fictional sexual
harassment incident that occurred on the base,”
said Sgt. 1st Class Ian M. Camejo Jr., the 21st
TSC public affairs operations NCO. “The Soldiers
were evaluated based on how well they answered
the questions accurately while not providing information that wasn’t releasable to the media at that
time.”
Following the media engagement lane, the warriors went into squad tactical exercises including:
move under direct and indirect fire and four-man
litter carries for 600 meters.
Due to scheduling constraints, the next day of
competition began in the afternoon with Modern
Army Combatives. Each competitor was paired
against someone of equal weight and conducted a
combatives spar for up to six minutes or submission. Warriors received points for gaining control,
mounts, bars and submissions.
“Make no mistake, it doesn’t seem like a long
time but six minutes of combatives is exhausting,”
Ysen said.
The competition then moved to the land-navigation course on Rhine Ordnance Barracks for both
day-time and night-time land navigation. This portion of the competition took each warrior into the
early morning hours of April 4.
At 6:30 a.m. April 4, each competitor submitted
an essay about one of three topics: suicide prevention, training management and how to keep Soldiers
in the Army. An hour later, each warrior appeared
before a board of five sergeants major to be evaluated on appearance, military bearing, military knowledge and to discuss their essay.

Only hours later, before a battalion formation,
the winners of the competition were announced.
The Best Warrior, enlisted category and overall
competition winner was Spc. Casey J. Mayfield, an
information systems specialist assigned to the 21st
TSC communication section. The Best Warrior,
NCO category winner was Sgt. Matthew J. Langton,
a parachute rigger inspector and tester assigned to
the 5th QM Det. The Best Warrior, officer category
winner was 1st Lt. Philip M. Messina, the executive
officer of the 5th QM Det.
“It feels great to be the winner, I put everything
I had into it and it paid off,” Mayfield said. “For
people who want to participate in this kind of event
in the future, don’t focus so hard on the physical
portion but get your mind and Soldier skills prepared.”

Learn the signs of autism, act early
by Capt. Veronica Bailey McMorris
Landstuhl Regional Medical Center
Army public health nurse
O
ver the past 20 years, researchers,
scientists and medical providers have
worked tirelessly to understand the
multiple symptoms and difficulties parents are faced with when trying to understand their
child’s behavior that can be difficult, confusing,
conflicting, odd and unexplained.
Autism is thought to be the result of many different underlying physical and genetic factors.
There are also many theories which support
and deny that autism is caused by environmental
exposures and vaccinations, among other things.
All this continues to add to the confusion and frustration of parents who are trying to understand the
complexities of their child’s situation.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
defines autism as an individual group of disorders
known as the Autism Spectrum Disorders. ASDs are
developmental disabilities that affect social interaction and communication.
Autism Spectrum Disorder is complex and
often difficult for families and professionals
alike to understand. Parents and caregivers who
have autistic children may experience many challenges. Children with autism learn at a different developmental rate than most children.
Multiple educational approaches can significantly improve the quality of life for the child and
family.
Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability. The cost of care for a child diagnosed with ASD can be astronomical, but the cost
can be reduced through early diagnosis and intervention.
In response to the needs of families coping with
ASD, the Combating Autism Act of 2006 authorized nearly $1 billion in expenditures to combat
the Autism Spectrum Disorders of Autism, Asperger
syndrome, Rett syndrome, childhood disintegrative
disorder and PDD-NOS through screening, education, early intervention, prompt referrals for treatment and services, and research.
Autism does not discriminate; it affects children
of all races, ethnic backgrounds and economic
status. Taking the time to learn the early signs of
autism can benefit a child.
It is imperative that parents learn the
initial behaviors of ASD and act immediately to
get their child evaluated.
Parents should be aware of the following warning signs:
» At 12 months of age, the child does not
babble, coo or gesture (i.e. point, wave and
grasp)
» At 18 months of age, the child does not look
at the primary care giver or point when the child
wants to show you something; the child does
not look when the primary care giver points to
something or does not use imagination in pretend
play.
If the child does not show these normal behaviors, then the child may be at risk for autism. If a
child lacks these minor but normal behavioral communication skills, alert your primary care provider
immediately.
There are several resources available in the
Kaiserslautern community. For help in evaluating a
child for autism, contact the local Autism Support
Group at 480-5100/5900 and the Exceptional Family
Member Program coordinator at 493-4094/4934091.

Great grades matter: Force Support for Super Scholars!
As the school year is starting to wind down and
the weather is starting to warm up, and children and
families are getting ready for great summer adventures, the question on many parents’ minds is how to
keep their children learning during the school summer recess.
Luckily, the 86th Force Support Squadron knows
the end of the year is not the time to slow down if
children want to be super scholars. We also know
inspiring children to keep studying can be difficult
as the sun starts to shine, so we are here to help
with Force Support for Super Scholars, an academic
incentive program for youth in fourth grade and up.
To claim your reward, just stop by the Ramstein
or Vogelweh youth centers with your report card
showing grades of A and B or better and receive a
booklet filled with special deals from our FSS facilities, including Chili’s, Romano’s Macaroni Grill,
Outdoor Recreation, Ramstein and Vogelweh bowling centers, the Ramstein Aquatics Center, Youth
Programs — a value of more than $120 per booklet!
“Promoting academic success is one of the priority
outcomes of all our youth and school age programs, so
we are always looking for ways to share the message
of how critical school success is for setting youth on
the right path to become productive adults,” said Josie
Cordova, chief of the airmen and family services flight.
The idea was developed as a part of the weeklong festivities celebrating the 22-year partnership
between military youth programs and the Boys &
Girls Clubs of America. On Monday, a variety of
programs and special events started to highlight the
importance of military youth centers and BGCA
programs. We show that our programs build healthy
lifestyles, character and citizenship, resilience, academic success and fun. The timing of the events
could not be more perfect since April is also the
Month of the Military Child.
As the AFN commercial says, if you want to go fast,
go alone; if you want to go far, go together. The truth
of this statement can be found in the numerous opportunities offered to our youth through the military partnership with BGCA. In developing the concept for the
Super Scholar incentive, it was obvious that the best
partnerships exist right inside the 86th FSS.
“When the idea for the reward booklet was
presented, the response from our FSS facilities
was absolutely overwhelming,” Cordova said. “We
never could have anticipated the generous offers
that can be found in the coupons, from free meals,
to day passes at the aquatics center, and free games
of bowling or time on the climbing wall.”
These offers also incorporate several of the other
key outcomes, including healthy lifestyle through fitness activities and spending quality time together as a
family over a healthy meal to build family resilience.
“We are really excited about the incentive book and
the positive impact it can have on motivating kids to
do well in school,” said Kaureen Whittaker, assistant
director for youth programs. “It is also great to have
the chance to share our daily programs that support
school success, like Power Hour for homework help,
National Science day that brought in a robotics project
for kids, or the digital arts festival that introduces kids
to claymation, movie making or music tech.”
The most recent survey from the National Center
for Education Statistics found that out of 34 countries
surveyed, the U.S. ranked 14th in reading, 17th in science and 25th in math. These statistics demonstrate
the need for us to keep our focus on continuing to
encourage children to work hard in school, as well as
giving them interactive and hands-on ways to practice the skills they are learning in school. Creating
enjoyable, high yield learning activities that engage
youth in fun programs is truly the mission of our Air
Force youth centers. After school clubs like gardening, CSI Mysteries, Mission Impossible, Outdoor
Survival, International Cooking or Club Tech capture
the imaginations and talents of our kids and help
them realize what they are capable of achieving.
And with summer right around the corner, these programs are more important than ever as studies show
most youth will lose about two months of gradelevel equivalency in math computation and up to two
months in reading achievement.
The Summer Learning Initiative also gives youth
the access to clubs that will keep them learning all
summer. You will be able to check out all the possibilities in May when summer camp registration
opens on our website at 9 a.m. May 20. To learn more
about the Super Scholar incentive program or any
of our youth center activities, stop by Bldg. 428 on
Ramstein or Bldg. 1057 on Vogelweh, or call 0637147-6444 or 0631-536-6504. More details can also be
found online at www.86fss.com under the family tab.

Honoring military children around the world
Story and photo by
Airman 1st Class Holly Cook
Started in 1986 by former Defense Secretary
Caspar Weinberger, Month of the Military Child
is held to honor the children of U.S. military members.
According to the 786th Force Support Squadron
personnel systems manager, there are 8,978 military
children in the KMC. Month of the Military Child
emphasizes the important role children play in the
armed forces community.
“It’s important to remind everyone that it’s not
just the military member who serves, the children
are serving also,” said Shaquita Ponder, 86th Force
Support Squadron family child care program manager.
Supporting the children through moves from different duty stations and deployments is important,
said Josie Cordova, 86th FSS chief of airman and
family services.
“Being home while my mom was deployed was
rough but it made me stronger,” said Alyssa Mason,
daughter of Chief Master Sgt. Jessica Mason, U.S.
Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa A1 chief
enlisted manager. “Her being gone made me a lot
closer with my sisters.”
Whether it’s adjusting to a new base or coping
with a family member’s deployment, the KMC has
multiple facilities for children to go to.
“I like coming to the Ramstein Youth Center
after school,” Mason said. “I get to hang out with
my friends, help younger children, and the staff is
always really nice and helpful.”
Though moving might be tough, some military children can find the bright side to all the life
changes.
“I enjoy moving to different places because I get
to see different places that I might not get to see
again,” Mason said. “I get to see things that most
American kids my age never see.”
The KMC CDCs and youth centers are
holding different events throughout the month
of April to celebrate the Month of the Military
Child and to raise awareness to different childhood
issues.
The 86th FSS will be holding a Solidarity
Sleep Out in front of the Kaiserslautern Military
Community Center today, said Cordova. The sleep
out is being held to raise money and awareness of
homeless teens.
Teens from around the KMC are coming out to
sleep in front of the KMCC from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m.
with only card board boxes or sleeping bags, Ponder
said. They aren’t allowed to bring any electronic
devices so they can experience what it is like to be
homeless.

Bicyclists must obey regulations
by Petra Lessoing
Bicyclists must always ride on the right-hand side
of the street.
With warmer weather the time for bicyclists
has come. Before the first ride, the bike should be
checked to see if it still is in a good condition and
safe.
To be safe and comfortable, the bicycle must be
put into the right position correspondingly to the
person’s size and height. The height of the frame,
the length of the pedals, the shape of the handlebars
and saddle have to be taken into consideration.
To avoid becoming a security risk in traffic, good
visibility and correct lights are extremely important.
German traffic regulations require properly
installed lights consisting of a white front light, a
dynamo, a red rear light, a white front and a red
rear reflector as well as yellow front and rear wheel
pedal reflectors.
The classical dynamo can be supported by battery-run lights — if the bicyclist has to stop at an
intersection, the lights will still work and provide
visibility. A warning bell and a dual brake system
are also required.
Bicyclists must take care of their own safety by
wearing a helmet, bright or light-colored clothes and
protection for body parts, which easily get injured.
On military installations, bicyclists must wear a
properly fastened and approved helmet, which must
meet the American National Standards institute,
Snell Memorial Foundation Standards, or Economic
Commission Europe Standards for bicycle helmets.
To avoid risky situations, it is very important
to drive on bicycle paths if available. In April, the
fine for bikers not using marked bicycle paths, was
raised to €20. It is not allowed to ride on sidewalks.
The following traffic regulations must be obeyed:
• It’s forbidden to ride a bike the wrong way
on a one-way street unless a specific sign located
under the one-way street sign permits it. The sign
has the symbol of a bike and says “frei” (free) or
“Radfahrer frei” (free for bicyclists).
• When turning, hand signals must be used.
• Carriers are needed to transport packages or
groceries.
• Children up to 8 years old must ride on sidewalks. When the road must be crossed, they must
push the bike across.
• Bicyclists are authorized to have a passenger
only if the passenger is not more than 7 years old and
the bicyclist is at least 16 years old. An additional
seat and footrests must be provided for the passenger.
• It is not allowed to ride side by side in traffic.
• Bicyclists are required to ride in a single file
outside city limits.
• It is allowed to pass slowly on the right of
stopped vehicles (for example, at a stop light) if
there is at least one meter between the bicycle and
the vehicle being passed.
• Bicyclists are required to slow down and stop,
if necessary, for passengers entering or exiting buses
on bicycle paths.
To park the bike, cyclists should use a solid lock
and chain the bike’s frame and the front and rear
wheel if possible to a non-moving object such as a
bike rack or light pole.
Some communities have their own bicycle registration or theft-prevention system. The local military police or security forces station or installation

Bicyclists riding at night should ensure they have the properly
installed lights.
coordinator can provide registration information.
German Polizei will fine bicyclists disobeying
German traffic regulations such as ignoring red traffic lights (fine is €45), or driving bikes with serious
defects. Bicyclists riding intoxicated risk to lose
their driver’s license.
First spring culinary hike takes place in Wolfstein
by Petra Lessoing
After the successful culinary hike in Rodenbach in September that saw about
10,000 visitors, organizers will offer their first spring culinary hike starting at
11 a.m. Saturday in Wolfstein.
The six-kilometer walk will lead through a nice landscape near Wolfstein.
Several food and beverage stations will be placed along the panorama-route
where hikers can enjoy traditional “pfälzisch” dishes, international specialties
and wines from regional and French vintners.
Caterers will serve meat dumplings with sauce, chestnut and potato bratwurst, salmon smoked on a Finnish kota grill, flammkuchen and crepes.
Regional butchers will offer French red wine meat and original “IdarObersteiner” steaks.
Local tradesmen will open their shops longer than on regular Saturdays, so participants can combine the culinary hike with a shopping tour through Wolfstein.
Children can have their faces painted and have fun on a jumping castle.
A traditional “Palatinate Evening” with musical entertainment will take place
after the hike at 7 p.m. at Rathausplatz. The Gospel Friends from ReichenbachSteegen will perform a gospel concert 7:30 p.m. in the protestant church.
Starting point of the hike is the Rathausplatz in the center of Wolfstein. For
the GPS, type in: Im Tauchental 3, 67752 Wolfstein. The town is located on
B270, north of Kreimbach-Kaulbach.
For more information about the hike, visit www.kulinarische-wanderung.de.

Mailing prohibited items risks penalties
A
uthorized U.S. citizens in
Germany receive a variety of goods and products through the military
postal system from family, friends and
online retail companies in the states.
The majority of the mail received is
processed and made available to customers without interruption.
However, the post offices continue to receive some parcels that
contain items that are prohibited and/or restricted for import into
Germany.
When German customs officials
inspect the post offices and notice a
violation, parcels are routinely seized
and detained.
A sampling of prohibited items
includes:
• Beef jerky and canned meat
products, including dog and cat
food
• Coffee, alcohol and tobacco products
• Prescription drugs from pharmacies and non-prescription medicines,
including supplements, diet pills and
vitamins
• Dairy products
• Firearms without proper permits,
ammunition and fireworks
• Counterfeit goods, including purses,
shoes, clothing, CDs, DVDs and any
merchandise that violates trademark
agreements
In addition, customers should be
aware that use of the military postal
system to receive and send goods and
merchandise for the purpose of resale,
resulting in a financial gain, is strictly
prohibited. The resale prohibition violates Department of Defense mail regulations and host nation customs laws.
Violators could face penalties or fines
from German customs and may also
jeopardize their mailing privileges,
including a temporary mailing suspension, limited privileges or a permanent
revocation of privileges.
Retired military patrons face additional restrictions. In accordance with
U.S. European Command Instruction
8703.01, military retirees in Germany
may only receive goods and merchandise from commercial mailers with a
value of €22 or less and €45 or less
from personal mailers. These restrictions are in addition to the 16 ounce
weight limit.

Summertime scams prove all that glitters is not gold
by Robert Szostek
U.S. Army Europe Office of the Provost Marshal
Public Affairs
HEIDELBERG, Germany — People can run
into bad luck while they are on the road and become
legitimate candidates for charity. Unfortunately,
others are simply up to no good, warn officials at the
U.S. Army Europe Office of the Provost Marshal.
“With the onset of summer we again expect to see
cases of swindlers trying to defraud Americans traveling around Europe,” said Joseph Day, USAREUR
OPM law enforcement chief.
Officials said one type of common scam involves
someone in a vehicle flagging down other vehicles
to get money by falsely claiming to need help. This
kind of approach often happens close to a barracks
gate, at a highway rest stop or on a road outside a
town where vehicles must move slowly.
Sometimes the scammers offer drivers what
appears to be gold jewelry as “collateral” so they
can pay a “loan” back later, OPM officials said, but
the rings and chains usually turn out to be worthless
brass imitations.
OPM experts warned of a second scam that
involves a con artist stopping an intended victim and
claiming to have run out of money at a trade fair. The
scammer then offers to sell the victim his expensive
goods — often jackets or coats — at a huge discount
so he can buy gas to get home. But the fancy brandname articles are nothing but cheap fakes.
Police in Bavaria recently reported another variation of the gold scam in which beggars give passersby a gold ring that they claim no longer fits.
If someone accepts the gift, the man or woman
then begs them for money and can become quite
aggressive. Again, the supposed gold ring turns out
to be brass.
To avoid being scammed, Day recommends that
members of the U.S. forces community in Europe
keep these tips in mind:
• Beware of distractions if you are in your car
alone. Someone talking to you on the driver’s side
of the car could be trying to divert your attention
while a buddy steals your purse or wallet from the
other side.
• Offers that sound too good to be true, usually
are. Articles with fancy brand names and gold jewelry are most likely cheap imitations.
• Always consider the relationship between the
trouble a person claims he is in and what he is asking for. People in real need rarely ask for more than
what is absolutely necessary.
• Never give large amounts of money to anyone
on the road. The most anyone should need is enough
to fill a tank with gas.
Officials also noted that the German automobile
association, ADAC, reports that travelers should also
be aware that in some regions gangs may be involved
in trying to scam motorists on main highways.
Courtesy photo
The crooks, they say, generally drive large, dark
sedans and try to get drivers to stop with hand gestures, flashing lights or a raised gas container. When
their victim stops, they demand financial help for
their families or try to sell fake jewelry. If the victim
gives up little or no cash, the solicitation can turn
into a robbery.
ADAC advises drivers who encounter such situations to not stop, but continue driving.
Day advises that anyone approached in this manner write down the person’s license plate number
and contact the nearest military or civil police station.
