Speak up, speak out against sexual assaultby Senior Airman Hailey Haux86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

“I am not a victim of sexual assault. I am a survivor.”

One word can mean the difference between making the decision to get help, or allowing someone else’s deci-sion to dictate your well-being.

April is Sexual Assault Prevention Awareness Month, and to bring the issue to people’s attention the Ramstein Sexual Assault Prevention and Response team invited Claire Russo to tell her story and answer questions in a small-group forum.

“I heard Claire Russo speak at an Army event last year, and her message was powerful,” said Carmen Schott, Ramstein sexual assault response coordinator. “We felt that it would be benefi cial for our community to hear her story in a small-group format. It ensured a comfortable atmosphere for individuals to ask questions, which helped foster open communication and small-group discussion about the topic.”

Russo spoke at three small-group sessions and was able to answer a number of questions for those who attended.

“The defi nition of resilience means the ability of something to return to its original shape after it has been pulled, stretched, pressed or bent,” Russo said. “Resiliency is not a trait. It’s a process that someone goes through during a traumatic situation.”

Since age 11, Russo was fi xated on joining the Marine Corps, because she wanted to be held to the highest stan-

dards. When she went to college, she joined the training there.

“My fi rst assignment was in California,” she said. “I had barely been there a month when the Marine Corps’ birthday ball came up. I attend-ed with my cousin, also an offi cer in the Marines, and he introduced me to several of his friends who were all pilots.”

As the night went on, Russo could only remember bits and pieces of what had happened to her.

435th CRG trains with Kosovo Security Forceby Tech. Sgt. Brandon Williams435th Contingency Response Group

The 435th Air Ground Operations Wing hosted three members of the Kosovo Security Force for a fi refi ght-ing fundamentals course conducted April 7 to 11 on Ramstein.

Airmen from the 435th Contin-gency Response Group’s Air Adviser Branch coordinated the event while the course was run by instructors from the 435th Construction and Training Squadron’s U.S. Air Forces in Europe Fire Academy.

Tech. Sgt. James Hickman, 435th CTS fi re and rescue contingency train-ing NCOIC, commended the experi-ence the KSF soldiers brought to the course.

“I was impressed with the level of technical rescue training they already had,” he said. “We took advantage of the opportunity to exchange techniques, and I feel that we directly impacted their abilities to enhance their growing rescue response programs and capabili-ties.”

The event included instruction for incident management control, crash rescue tactics and strategies, rope res-cue and patient packaging techniques, and confi ned space familiarization. The KSF soldiers also toured KMC Fire Station 1, aircraft and structural fi re simulators and a C-130J Super Hercules. All elements of the course were designed to familiarize KSF fi rst

Character, experience are keys to successful leadershipby Lt. Col. James Mullinax2nd Air Postal Squadron commander

Our Air Force is undergoing significant changes as we move toward becoming a smaller, more capable fighting force. As we prog-ress, the need for Airmen to step forward and fill the gap has never been more important, and the lead-ership they display will make all the difference.

Some may ask, “How do you become a leader, and what spe-cial characteristics are required to lead the Air Force’s greatest asset?” Answer: our Airmen. I would like to relay a few beliefs that I have developed over the past 21 years of service that I believe will be essen-tial in the days ahead.

The first key trait in a leader is character. Character is nothing more than the combination of the Air Force’s core values. A leader must do what is right and be a shin-

ing example for all other Airmen. That is integrity. Leaders are self-less in their actions and make deci-sions based on fact, not on person-al gain, and always place service before self. In addition, a lead-er always displays and demands excellence in every activity.

Put into a more simple form, character is who you are as a person and is a reflection of what others think of you. A person said to have good character typically excels as a leader. This is largely because peo-ple are willing to listen to them and to follow them out of confidence, knowing the leader has everyone’s best interests at heart. An effective leader makes time for Airmen, lis-tens to their problems and gets out of the office and visits them where they work.

The second key is building per-sonal experience. One of my favor-ite books is “American Generalship: Character is Everything: The Art of Command,” by Edgar F. Puryear.

Puryear uses the introduction to set the stage for the rest of the book by forcing the reader to ponder the question of whether a person is a born leader or if leadership is taught.

Gen. Carl A. Spaatz, first chief of staff of the Air Force, believed “… you must be born with cer-tain characteristics, but it’s more a case of what takes place after you are born that decides whether or not you are going to be a lead-er.” Leaders learn in two ways: by hands-on experience and by obser-vation.

Airmen learn by doing. If you stay in the same duty position or location too long, your growth stag-nates. You begin to suffer from tun-nel vision, only seeing the small portion of the Air Force you know. Simply put, you become comfort-able. Good leaders step outside their comfort zone and ask for increased responsibility. Only by stepping up do you learn, both from

success and from failure, how you fit into the overall Air Force mis-sion.

Airmen also learn by observing. The key to success in this aspect is observing Airmen who make deci-sions. When you observe those in leadership positions, you learn not only why they made a certain deci-sion, but also the thought process behind it. Using a few cliches, observing others develops your ability to “think outside the box” and to “see the big picture.”

The history of the Air Force is full of change, and the Air Force of the future requires an increased level of commitment from all of those who decide to serve. As a very wise chief master sergeant recently told me, Airmen can be outstanding or they can be out standing by the gate. Are you ready to become the leader all Airmen need, deserve and demand, or will you be watching from the other side of the fence?

Children wave their pinwheels during the opening ceremony of the Month of the Military Child April 3 at Minick Field. Baumholder’s Child, Youth and School Services teamed up with Army Community Service and the Baumholder schools recently to present a united front in the fight against child abuse and to raise awareness for autism.See CHILDREN, Page 6

Baumholder’s Child, Youth and Schools Services teamed up with Army Community Service and the Baumholder schools recently to pres-ent a united front in the fight against child abuse and to raise awareness for autism.

With April being the Month of the Military Child, educators and caregiv-ers seized this opportunity to bring attention to the topics of child abuse and autism by coordinating a new and novel program to kick off the annual obser-vance. For the first time, children from Smith and Wetzel elementary schools participated in a volksmarch at Minick Field, followed by a signing of procla-mations by Lt. Col. Mike Sullivan, U.S.

Army Garrison Baumholder command-er, and Command Sgt. Major R. Scott Creighton, proclaiming the garrison’s commitment to fighting child abuse and raising awareness for autism.

The volksmarch was led by the Baumholder middle and high school Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps

After the march, Sullivan put the event into perspective for the children.

“There are big events going on this month. Number one, it’s the Month of the Military Child, and you are all wonderful military children. Number two, we want to make sure we’re doing everything we can to prevent child abuse. And number three, we want to make sure everybody knows about autism, making people aware about

Baumholder focuses on its children


she said. “I woke up in a hotel room naked and didn’t really know where I was. The guy was lying in bed not even acknowledging me. When I finally got home I remember thinking, ‘I am never going to tell anyone about this.’”

Sexual assault allegations weren’t received very well by commanders. Russo said a fellow female officer trainee reported a sexual assault dur-ing training and was ridiculed and doubted by her superi-ors and ultimately removed from training. Russo wanted to keep her own assault to herself until her cousin found out and reported the incident.

After years of battling with boards, judges and office scrutiny, Russo decided her time in the Marine Corps had to come to an end, how-ever, her fight with sexual assault wasn’t yet over. Russo now goes around to different military instillations to raise awareness of this crime and encourage people to speak up.

“Seek help, know your resources and let people help you,” Russo said during a small-group discussion. “You must help others as well. It’s easy to say, ‘I’m sorry this happened to you,’ then walk away. We need to help each other.”

Taking an active role in the aftermath of a sexual assault allows access to Air Force resources, and, if an unrestricted report is made, it can prevent an attacker from assaulting someone else.

“As a SARC and licensed clinical social worker, I feel

it is crucial for community members to put a face to a name and to see firsthand how sexual assault victims are impacted,” Schott said. “Hearing their stories helps others realize that this could happen to anyone — our friend, sister or brother.”

There are resources avail-able to help those affected by sexual assault. To contact a sexual assault response coor-dinator, call the SARC main line at 480-7272, the SARC hotline at 06371-47-7272, or SAPR on-call at 0172-821-4871.

“You’re not getting any flak; you’re not getting any fighters. You’re just hurrying back home. That’s all it amounts to,” said Troy Hollar while at Chievres Air Base, Belgium, the very base where flak batteries brought down his B-17 Flying Fortress on April 13, 1944.

Seventy years later, the World War II technical sergeant and top turret gunner is back at the site where the Belgian resis-tance helped him and fellow Royal Flush crew members escape the Nazis. Hollar was recognized at a commemoration for his aircrew and later was made an honorary citizen of the town of Silly where he safely parachuted to after his plane was hit.

Members of the 424th Air Base Squadron Color Guard, which is part of the 86th Operations Group, took part in the ceremony, recognizing the events that happened that day so many years ago.

“April 13 was just like any other mission day for a member of the 384th Bomb Group,” Hollar said. “You get up at 4 a.m., breakfast at 5, go to the gun shack, wipe your gun dry, put it together, get your parachute, go to a briefing at 6 and go to your plane.”

But that day it wasn’t just another mission for the crew of the Royal Flush.

At the briefing, Hollar found out the targets were ball bearing plants in Schweinfurt, Germany. The parts were critical to German tanks and aircraft.

“That was one of the hardest targets to get,” he said. Additionally, they were flying a different aircraft

that day. Because the Royal Flush was in for repairs, the aircraft was a newer model, and that small dif-ference would come into play later in the day.

“In loading my gun, I hit the wrong switch that I didn’t know was there, and about 20 rounds of ammo piled up on top of the gun,” he said. “It had to be put back one round at a time. We were almost to France by the time I got that right.”

When they got close to the target, the fighters hit them hard.

“Sometimes fighters would attack three abreast,” Hollar said. “Sometimes from the rear they would

attack rolling while firing to confuse the gunners. There was no damage to our group though. When we turned in to make the bomb run, you could see the flak all over the city, a solid wall of flak just like a heavy cloud, and you wonder how you can fly an airplane through all that and still come out the other side, but when we got in, it wasn’t quite that bad.

“As we were coming out, I looked back and watched the wing behind us come out of the flak,” he continued. “It was like they would just pop out of it like from heavy clouds. When (we were on our way back), the navigator called over the intercom that it was 10 minutes to the channel. Very shortly after that (the Germans at Chièvres Air Base) started firing at us. They had us zeroed in right away. Two flak burst in front

and back, one on our right wing tip and one on the left.”

There was nothing he could do but watch, he said. “It was like that for a few bursts, then one hit

the tip of our left wing,” Hollar said. “It knocked us way up over on our right wing. That scared me, because I thought it might fall into a tailspin and I would have a real hard time getting out.”

The pilot got the plane level, but their wing was on fire and they were in a flat spin, Hollar added.

Hollar went to the bomb bay doors to parachute out, but the release cable for the doors wasn’t there

Turkish CMSAF visits RamsteinChief Master Sgt. of the Turkish air force Nazmi Harmanci learns how to operate the water hose in a fire truck during a visit to the Ramstein Fire Department April 8. Harmanci’s first visit to Ramstein focused on seeing the enlisted Airmen and the programs they support, as well as the professional military education they receive.

responders with procedures for in-flight or ground emergencies.

The training expanded on the skill sets of the KSF soldiers who attended the course, as they are all part of the KSF Search and Rescue Company.

Pvt. Kushtrim Hyseni, KSF search and rescue tech-nician, said he looked forward to putting the skills to use.

“The firefighting training materials we’ve received during the course have been very good, especially the hands on portions,” Hyseni said. “It was beneficial to take what we have learned here and apply it to the KSF mission.”

The KSF members wish to increase their firefight-ing capacity as they transition from an emergency response force into a NATO compliant army by 2019. This BPC event goes toward the United States and Kosovo’s mutual goals to achieve full operating capa-bility and enhance interoperability with NATO Allies.

what it is and how we can help all of our friends,” he said.

Deployments are a fact of life in the military, and Army Community Service Director Ricky Gibbons pointed out that children experience the same stress associated with deploy-ments as adults, but it is not always noticed.

“I think sometimes our chil-dren don’t get the attention that they should. Military children undergo as much stress with deployments as the parents do. It’s just that they manifest it a little bit differently. So it’s really important for us to be aware how these kids operate in a mili-

tary environment and do every-thing we can to support them,” Gibbons said.

Jason Etchell, who heads up Baumholder’s Child, Youth and School Services, said the Month of the Military Child provides an opportunity to think about what military children mean to the community.

“I think it’s a time just to reflect, particularly on how pre-cious our children are, the con-tributions they make and the sacrifices they make. We think a lot about the spouses and the Soldiers, but sometimes we may forget about the kids, and this is really a month about our chil-dren — protecting our children and celebrating them and really

just recognizing the importance they play in the family and the quality of life here,” Etchell said.

Sullivan also pointed out the importance of recognizing the sacrifices of military children to the parents, teachers and care-givers who participated in the opening ceremony events for the Month of the Military Child.

“Military children go through so much, and too often we forget that they have to go through the same stressful experiences we do,” Sullivan said. “The fact that we can take at least one month out of the year to recognize their valuable contributions and their invaluable experiences I think is absolutely critical.”

Marching to patriotic music through smoke into a gymnasium on Miesau, Soldiers from the 212th Combat Support Hospital, 30th Medical Brigade, 21st Theater Sustainment Command were wel-comed home April 6 with cheering and applause from family and friends.

For approximately nine months, the Soldiers provided medical care to U.S. Soldiers, guard force and detainees inside the Afghan National Detention Facility in Parwan, Afghanistan. They also trained, advised and assisted the Afghan National Army medics to provide comparable care to the detainees.

“As Soldiers, we anticipate taking care of Soldiers, and there we are taking care of people that are the enemy, and we need to treat them with dignity and respect,” said Lt. Col. Stephen Linck, 212th CSH detachment officer in charge. “We have such a wonderful team that we had no issues treat-ing people with dignity and respect; everybody was a patient, and nobody was a prisoner or detainee.”

The Soldiers of the 212th CSH played a signifi-cant role in a difficult mission with strategic impli-cations.

“The most challenging thing was finding a way to decompress at the end of the day. I turned to the gym,” said Sgt. Ashley Powell, 212th CSH lab NCOIC.

The Soldiers expressed their excitement to be home but also reflected on their accomplishments

and the impact they left on Afghanistan.“We have effectively transitioned all the

detainees to the Afghans. We helped build a clinic for them, so they are now seeing their own sick call with ANA providers, doctors, physician assistants and nurses. They have their own radiology and dental,” said Spc. Kevin Floyd, health care specialist.

Lisa Floyd, spouse of Spc. Floyd, sat in the crowd with a toddler by her side and a baby in her arms and a giant smile on her face.

“I have been preparing for this day for several weeks now,” Lisa Floyd said. “I feel like a teenager here, sitting and waiting.”

Upon arrival to their home station, the Soldiers raved about sleeping in their own bed again, taking a shower without shoes, eating their favorite restaurant fries, driv-ing their car again and spending time with

their loved ones. Not only can they go home to their favorite things, but they can go home proud.

“This is a very difficult mission, but we have a wonderful team, and they did wonderful work. They will have a lasting impact on Afghanistan, because I am confident that the people in the custody under the Afghan Law there will be treated appropriately,” Linck said. “We have given the Afghans what they need to succeed.”

More than 16,000 U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa Airmen must

revalidate their dependents to con-tinue receiving basic housing allow-ance or overseas housing allowance at the with-dependent rate. This requirement also applies to military members occupying family housing.

The command’s revalidation efforts are part of the Air Force’s service-wide mandate for Airmen to revali-date their dependents by Dec. 31. The command’s goal is to have all re- validations completed by Oct. 31.

This one-time, Air Force-wide re-certification process will allow the Air Force to validate Airmen’s basic allowance for housing entitle-ments, ensuring every dollar of the $5.4 billion the service spends annu-ally on BAH is fully auditable, said Master Sgt. Temeka M. Stewart, USAFE-AFAFRICA Financial Management financial operations manager.

The Innovation and Transformation Office is leading the command’s revalidation efforts and has developed a plan for all Airmen to revalidate

their dependents, said Lt. Col. Stephen Cristofori, USAFE-AFAFRICA ITO deputy chief.

According to the plan, base comp-troller squadrons will establish a schedule for comptrollers to meet with individual Airmen to revalidate dependents. Airmen will then be noti-

fied of their revalidation appointment time and informed what supporting documentation will be required.

“At those appointments, recertifi-cation will be accomplished on the spot,” Cristofori said. “The whole process should take no more than 10 minutes.”

To revalidate dependents, Airmen must complete Air Force Form 594, Application and Authorization to Start, Stop or Change Basic Allow-ance for Quarters or Dependency Determination. The form (along with

ENKOPING, Sweden — A snap of cold air engulfed Sweden as more than 2,500 military service members and civilians from more than 50

nations participated in Viking 14, a command post exercise hosted every three years since 1999 by the Swedish armed forces and Folke Bernadotte Academy, March 31 to April 10.

Approximately 20 7th Civil Support Command Soldiers with the 361st Civil Affairs Brigade also partici-

pated in the event. The CPX was spread out

across eight exercise sites in five different countries, including the Republic of Georgia, Bulgaria, Ireland, Serbia and four in Sweden.

The training scenario depicted the fake country of “Bogaland” six months after the country emerged from a civil war.

“Viking 14 is a multina-tional crisis response exer-cise,” said Army Capt. Joshua

Koncar, logistics officer, 361st CA Bde., 7th CSC.

According to the exercise pocket guide, “the aim of exercise Viking 14 is to pre-pare, train and educate partici-pants — civilian, military and police — to cooperate effec-tively and meet the challenges of current and future multidi-mensional crisis response and peace operations.”

In past and during some present conflicts and disas-ter responses, including

those currently going on in Afghanistan, Haiti and sev-eral countries in Western Africa, a joint multinational military-civilian-led com-mand, sometimes headed by NATO, is stood up to imple-ment a United Nations peace-keeping and stability opera-tion based on Chapters VI, VII and/or VIII from the U.N. charter.

The staff sections during Viking 14 were designed to simulate the current roles of the U.N. and NATO’s International Security and Assistance Force in Afghanistan and also drew upon current and past crisis response experiences in the Middle East and Africa, said Swedish army Maj. Richard Kjaergaard, Viking 14 exer-cise public affairs officer.

Ramstein hosts ‘Happy Hour’ with recovered alcoholicby Staff Sgt. Kris Levasseur86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

It was time for happy hour at the Hercules Theater, but no one was serv-ing drinks. Disguised as a stand-up comedy routine, this happy hour turned into a training session on avoiding at-risk drinking, sexual assault, drugs and suicide.

Comedian Bernie McGrenahan vis-ited Ramstein April 14 to talk to ser-vice members about his own life expe-riences with sexual situations, alcohol, drugs and suicide, passing his very serious message through comedy.

The U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz Army Substance Abuse Program invited McGrenahan to visit the KMC, which included shows for the Sembach and Baumholder Army communities. McGrenahan tackled relationships, the military, cars, his height, toilet paper and his experiences with his disabled brother before telling his own tale of the hardship alcohol and drugs have had on his life.

He said he started drinking as a teenager, telling the tale of how he and his friends would “only drink on the weekends” and “one night a week.” His “one night a week” of drinking quickly became two, then three nights, plus weekends.

McGrenahan said this downward spiral due to alcohol continued through much of his young life. After two DUIs, being fired from his job, being

kicked out of school and being forced to move back home with his mother, he was still not convinced he had a drinking problem.

He did, however, notice that alcohol and drugs were starting to take a toll on his brother Scott.

He said Scott was stealing money, started acting moody and depressed, and skipped work. When he confronted his brother, Scott claimed to have things under control. An hour later McGrenahan was on his way home when he noticed police cruisers and

an ambulance outside his house. His sister came running out of the house hysterical telling him not to go in the house. Scott had shot himself in the heart.

“When my brother took his life that day, that young, handsome man didn’t think before he pulled the trigger that standing behind him was his mother and his father, his brother, his sister, his other brother, his uncles, his grand-parents, and all his cousins, and 40 of us took that bullet with him,” he said. “It went through every one of us and traveled in our heart and out our back. We live with that hole in our soul the rest of our lives.”

Even this traumatic event wasn’t enough to show McGrenahan that he had a problem with alcohol though. It wasn’t until his third DUI charge and six months in the Los Angeles County Jail that he set himself straight.

While doing his time in county jail, he took a hard look at himself and knew he had to turn his life around. He made a vow to his mother and stayed true to that moment by not having a drop of alcohol in 22 years.

“I have a story to tell just like everyone else,” McGrenahan said. “It’s what you do with that story that makes a difference, and I hope my story can help you.”

McGrenahan will continue his “Happy Hour” tour throughout the military and continue to share his life altering decisions through comedy.

course of the exercise in ways to weave their collective decision-making process and objectives using a compre-hensive approach to increase cooperation and interoper-ability between partner nations, he added.

“The Swedish armed forces did a really good job devel-oping a real life (like) scenario with regards to U.N. man-dated crisis response,” Koncar said.

The training exercise with more than 90 different non-governmental organizations and international organizations focused on the parallel missions that occur during opera-tions in a post crisis/conflict area to help unstable areas become stable and make steady progress going forward.

“I think, first of all, working with the international envi-ronment is a great opportunity,” said Lithuanian army Maj. Gediminas Latvys, currently a student at the Baltic Defense College and an officer in the Lithuanian army. Latvys grad-uated from the U.S. Army Civil Affairs course in 2004 and has deployed to Kosovo and Afghanistan.

The CPX’s NATO Joint Forces Command operated side by side with two equivalent and parallel civilian com-mands, the U.N. Headquarters and the European Union’s Civil Administration Mission (EUCAM).

The 7th CSC Soldiers from the 361st CA Bde. worked together with partner nations’ civil military cooperation (CIMIC) Soldiers and civilians to exercise their readiness for any future manmade crisis or natural disaster or post conflict as part of the exercise’s Land Component Command under the “Bogaland” Forces, or BFOR HQ, which report-ed to the fictional NATO Joint Forces Command.

“Our goals include assisting our NATO partners in devel-oping their civil-military capabilities as well as developing our own,” said Army Lt. Col. Keith Gawrys, functional spe-cialist with the 361st CA Bde., 7th CSC, who works for a civilian defense contractor in his day job. “We are also here to bridge the gap between NATO and U.S. civil-military doctrine. The U.S. speaks ‘Civil Affairs,’ and NATO speaks ‘CIMIC,’ or civil military cooperation.”

The joint multinational military-civilian exercise par-ticipants trained in how to weave their collective deci-sion-making process and objectives using a comprehen-sive approach to increase cooperation and interoperability between partner nations.

“It’s very relevant to use in these types of exercises the comprehensive approach by having military and civilian working side by side,” Latvys said. “Our daily interactions and cooperation with the civilians help to better understand the contemporary operational environment and plan appro-priate civil-military operations. We conduct the meetings and planning process together because this is what we do when deployed to a theater of operation whether it is in peace time or war time.”

Viking 14 gave the military participants the chance to work closely with NATO, UN, EU, NGOs, GOs and other international organizations at the same time, “because when they deploy, that is the reality they will see on the ground,” said Angelica Bille-Bergman, a Swedish armed forces CIMIC exercise planner.

“All organizations have cultures and a way to handle various situations,” Bille-Bergman said. “This is an excel-lent opportunity to learn from each other, get to know each other’s cultures and work in this type of environment. You’re able to work closely with each other, which enhanc-es cooperation and the speed of the mission.”

Koncar said the main takeaway was a greater level of understanding of how to interact with non-government agencies, as well as other nations during a crisis response.

“What is most important is the understanding between the civilians and the military, so that they make their mis-takes here,” said Swedish armed forces Maj. Gen. Bengt Andersson, Viking 14 military exercise director. “So when they go to the field, there are (none).”

Since 1986, members of the Department of Defense have designated April as Month of the Military Child. The annual observance is designed to rec-

ognize and honor the ongoing sacrifices of military children around the world.

Military installations are hosting activities and special programming throughout April to show their support for the many thousands of children who serve alongside their par-ents through combat deployments and frequent moves.

Air Force Master Sgt. Rachel Herrick and her family are stationed in the KMC. Herrick said she’s grateful for her children’s support during her more than 17 years of military ser-vice, and she’s proud to return the favor.

“I think it’s great, because we get to rec-ognize the children that stand behind most of us military members and give us the strength to get through many of the tough times that we have, whether it’s long TDYs or a deployment to a very far off location,” Herrick said. “Those little smiles and those faces are what get us through it, and to have a month to let them know that it’s them that is our strength, I think it’s an amazing

thing that we as a military have.” Herrick’s daughter, Saige, 8, considers her-

self somewhat of a pro when it comes to military life. She easily rattles off a long list of places she’s lived or visited while serving with her mother. The list includes everywhere from Texas to Hawaii and now Germany.

“I’ve been a military child a long time, and I’ve gone through a lot of things. It’s scary sometimes, but also really fun. You get to do different things and see different things. I like Germany a lot but other places are fun, too. Not just Germany,” Saige said.

Herrick and Saige added that they also relied on close family, cards and letters, and FaceTime chats to help them endure difficult separations that can often accompany military life.

“I think we as parents just need to remember how awesome they are and what strength they give us and to say thank you to them and to never forget how cool we are to have amazing children like this that support us through every-thing,” Herrick said.

In honor of Month of the Military Child, the Army and Air Force will sponsor a Month of the Military Child International Children’s Festival from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Pulaski Park on Pulaski Barracks. The opening ceremony is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. This annual event for community members will fea-ture free food, games, music and more.

on this model. Fortunately, one of the other crew mem-bers knew what to do and Hollar was able to jump.

“The pilot was still at the controls with the wing on fire,” Hollar said. “I just put my hands out, one to keep my head from hitting the bomb bay doors and the other held over the rip cord so it wouldn’t catch anything.

“After the rush of the air after you leave the plane, everything is dead calm. There’s no sensation of move-ment or falling or nothing. You could have gone to sleep if you had enough time,” he continued.

Only four of the crew mem-bers were able to parachute and escape the explosion and ensuing crash.

Antonio de La Serna, 11 at the time, witnessed the crash.

“We were playing at the chateau when we saw the plane coming in,” de La Serna said. “I still remember the sound as the plane was head-ing down. Then there was the explosion. A few seconds later we saw two parachutes com-ing down. We didn’t see the

others but heard about them later.”

After hitting the ground, Hollar started looking for the best direction to quickly get into hiding. Being farm country, there weren’t many choices.

“(After landing) I just started to cross the pasture to (the) trees and I heard people calling,” he said. “I looked back and these two civilians were frantically calling and waving for me to hurry back. I rushed back, and they started walking real fast toward the house. The (German soldiers) reached my landing site and started firing at us.

“We ran around the house, and there was a big hay stack there with a hole in it at the bottom,” he continued. “I jumped into that, and they stuffed it closed.”

Hollar said his head was only about six inches under the straw, and he could hear the German soldiers talking to the Belgians, asking where the American went. Fortunately, the Belgians didn’t give up his position. After a couple of hours the Belgians brought him some warm milk and a sandwich, but he only ate half the sandwich and put the other

half in his pocket. “I didn’t know when I

would get anything else,” he said.

Later that night, he was whisked across pastures to another house where a big supper was waiting for him, he said.

After about a month in Fouleng, they moved him to Brussels where he spent five months in hiding with numer-ous Belgian families. He was provided a fake passport with the name Camille Juanau, and on his work card he was listed as an editor.

On Sept. 3, 1944, British troops liberated Brussels and soon after, Hollar started his trip back to rejoin the U.S. Army.

Hollar said he doesn’t remember the resistance mem-bers much, but has fond mem-ories of the members of the families he lived with.

“They were real nice and kind and did just about any-thing for my well-being,” he added.

Hollar enlisted in the regu-lar Army on Nov. 19, 1941, and was discharged Nov. 1, 1945. He served for the entire U.S. involvement in the war.

NATO air chiefs meet at Allied Air CommandNATO air chiefs

and senior officers from 25 Allied Air

Forces arrived at Ramstein April 7 to convene for the NATO Air Chiefs Symposium 2014.

Gen. Frank Gorenc, commander of Allied Air Command, invited his nation-al colleagues to discuss cur-rent air-related issues April 8.

“I thank you for your lead-ership in organizing, training and equipping your respec-tive air forces, which will continue to fuel our Alliance’s asymmetric advantage,” Gorenc said during his wel-come remarks.

The commander of AIRCOM hosts gatherings

of NATO air chiefs annually. This year’s meeting took the form of a working sympo-sium.

One item of discussion was the current situation around Ukraine. The participants dis-cussed what Air can do in support of the North Atlantic Council-approved crisis response measures, how to coordinate recent force offer-ings for NATO’s Baltic Air Policing and Air activities under the NATO military partnership and cooperation with Ukraine.

The symposium agenda focused primarily on capa-bility development, enhanc-ing training and exercises, reinforcing the NATO com-

mand structure and NATO force structure relationship, and strengthening NATO’s air policing policies. Other dis-cussions covered the future of the Alliance’s Ballistic Missile Defense mission and the Joint Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance project. Updates were provided on the Air Command and Control System as a facilitator and the NATO Tactical Evaluation Program as a quality assur-ance tool. The Joint Air Power Competence Center in Kalkar, Germany, of which Gorenc is the director, pre-sented its latest research on the future vector for NATO air forces.

“I am unbelievably opti-

mistic about our future,” Gorenc said as he bade fare-well to his fellow Airmen in the late afternoon of April 8. “Today’s meaningful discus-sions continue to reinforce my confidence in our abil-ity to provide precise combat power from the air.”

In the margins of the sym-posium, some of the air chiefs used their stay at Ramstein to meet with their national ele-ments to discuss administra-tive matters.

In total, 25 Allied air forc-es contribute to AIRCOM by sending their person-nel. Sweden and Finland, both members of NATO’s Partnership for Peace pro-gram, also provide staff mem-

ber support to the headquar-ters.

AIRCOM is in the lead for all NATO air and missile defense activities, including 24/7 air policing, monitor-ing of the Alliance airspace across Europe and standing up a Joint Force Air Component to control Allied air forces during a NATO operation. AIRCOM is comprised of the Headquarters in Ramstein; two Combined Air Operation Centers in Uedem, Germany, and Torrejon, Spain; and the Deployable Air Command and Control Center at Poggio Renatico, Italy.

step-by-step instructions, resources to locate support-ing documentation and fre-quently asked questions) can be found at the USAFE- AFAFRICA website in the “spotlights” section.

Airmen can also find this information on the USAFE-AFAFRICA ITO Dependent Revalidation page on the USAFE-AFAFRICA Portal, however, a common access card is required to access the site.

Once the form is com-pleted, Airmen must print it without signing it. Then, they should bring the completed unsigned form, their mili-tary identification card and all required supporting docu-mentation to their revalida-tion appointment. Supporting documentation must be in its original form, as copies won’t be accepted. To min-imize the inconvenience to Airmen, they do not need to go to their finance office — USAFE-AFAFRICA comp-troller squadrons will send representatives to their units in the near future.

Airmen should visit the website and wait for official notification prior to contact-

ing their local finance office, Cristofori said.

Additionally, Airmen should find their supporting documents now.

“Finding marriage and birth certificates can be difficult given the number of moves we in the military have,” Cristofori said. “Hopefully, people keep their important documents organized in a safe place. If they can’t find them, now is the time to reach out to the counties, cities, states and possibly countries to get them.”

Supporting documentation includes marriage certificates, birth certificates for dependent children, divorce decrees and approved Defense Finance and Accounting Service let-ters authorizing secondary dependency.

Cristofori also stressed the command is finaliz-ing a process specifically for deployed Airmen and members of geographically separated units. However, he said the most important thing Airmen can do now, is obtain the required documentation they need to revalidate depen-dents.

The revalidation is being done to ensure the Air Force is audit ready as a result of a

Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness mandate out-lined in the FY 2010 National Defense Authorization, Stewart said.

“When we say the Air Force is not audit compliant, that doesn’t mean that money is missing or misspent,” said Doug Bennett, deputy assis-tant secretary of the Air Force for financial operations. It means supporting documen-tation entitling members for with dependent rate BAH or OHA is not available.

Cristofori also emphasized that the command will work with individual unit leader-ship to help Airmen complete the revalidation process.

“Our Airmen are vital to our mission and are our most important asset,” Cristofori added. “We know our Airmen are focused on the mission, and they have personal com-mitments they must keep. We are going to do all we can to ensure they complete the revalidation process with as little stress as possible so their pay will be unaffected.”

Airmen can find instruc-tions and many answers to revalidation questions by vis-iting the USAFE-AFAFRICA website or the USAFE-AFAFRICA Portal.

AF tests Google Glass for battlefield useby Senior Airman Alexander W. RiedelAir Force News Service

FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. — Whether trying to coordinate multiple aircraft in a three-dimensional battlespace, calling in precise close air support or evacuating person-nel caught behind enemy lines, effective mul-titasking is at the heart of the mission for Air Force special operators.

Researchers with the 711th Human Performance Wing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, are now working to make missions lighter and faster for Airmen by test-ing Google Glass and its head-mounted optical see-through display technology for potential battlefield use.

Still in beta-testing as part of Google’s Explorer program, the trials are conducted by the Battlefield Air Targeting, Man-Aided Knowledge, or BATMA(N) group, an advanced technology demonstration and research pro-gram commissioned by the Air Force Special Operations Command to develop, build and investigate advanced wearable technologies.

“Trying to interact in the battlespace places a lot of burden on the dismounted battle-field Airmen,” said Dr. Gregory Burnett, the

chief engineer of the BATMA(N) program. “BATMA(N) is a constant endeavor to try to improve tactical decision making and reduce the human error associated with our Airmen’s mission set.”

A combination between a hardware and software product, Google Glass is based on Google’s own Android operating system and can leverage a great majority of modern smart-phone capabilities while remaining light and allowing for largely hands-free operation.

“Its most distinguishing feature is that its screen sits above the user’s right eye,” said Andres Calvo, software developer and civil-ian contractor with the 711th HPW. “What that means is that the screen is off by default. Whenever you need to access the information, you either look up, or you touch on the track-pad and only then will the screen turn on.”

While aircraft pilots have been using varia-tions of heads-up displays for years, with the latest iteration being incorporated in the new helmets worn by F-35 Lightning II pilots, the engineers said the tactical ground missions put high demands on the operators over extended periods of time and varying environments.

U.S. Army Annual Fundraising Campaign1 March through 15 May 2014

http://www.aerhq.org/dnn563/Donations/ArmyAnnualCampaign.aspx


by Petra Lessoing86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Residents living off-base might experience some weird things happening in their neighborhood Wednesday night. Residents should keep a watchful eye on their houses and vehicles Wednesday when Germans observe “Hexennacht,” or Witches Night.

Vehicles should be parked in garages and any loose items around the house, such as door mats, decoration items and flower pots, should be placed inside so they won’t be stolen by late-night prank-sters.

Legend says that on the night of April 30, evil ghosts represented by cold weather, snow and dark-ness meet with witches and demons at Blocksberg hill in the Harz mountains. There, they get into mischief before they take off on their broomsticks, pitchforks and billy goats at midnight.

Today, it’s a custom for mainly children and teen-agers to play tricks on neighbors. They ring door-bells and run off, put mustard on door handles, hide floor mats and trash cans, remove garden gates and wrap cars in toilet paper.

Sometimes, older children or adults do destruc-tive things like lifting drainage covers in the middle of the road or moving traffic signs. Motorists are asked to be very careful at night and the following morning, because these actions create safety haz-ards and result in property damage. German Polizei will patrol the neighborhoods that night and take appropriate action, if necessary.

The origin of witches night goes back to Pagan times, when people believed evil ghosts tried to pre-vent the “Queen of Spring” from entering the coun-try. Witches and demons were masters of people and things, so people did a lot to protect themselves.

They hid billy goats and broomsticks so witches would not be able to ride on them through the night and do evil things. It was an unwritten law that chil-dren must not get beaten with a broomstick, because it could be a witch’s tool.

Also, socks were put cross-shaped on children’s beds, pentagrams were put over house entrances or sacred salt was scattered over the threshold. Residents used several herbs known to ban witches

to smoke out houses and stables. Herbs included rue, St. John’s wort and juniper.

Another German tradition that is observed at the beginning of May is the “dance into May.” Various associations and sports clubs sponsor “Tanz in den Mai” with live music in community halls, sports gyms, or other facilities that house dancing halls.

Dances will be offered at 8 p.m. in Katzweiler’s community hall, Lautertalhalle and in the Dorfgemeinschaftshaus in Elschbach.

In several villages in the KMC, the May tree will be put up and May fest will be celebrated. Sometimes this ceremony is combined with a vil-lage fest.

The May tree usually is a fir with the lower branches stripped and only the treetop untouched. The pole is decorated with colorful ribbons and craftsmen’s trade ornaments like sausages for the butchers, pretzels for the bakers, or carved wooden figures. May poles symbolize the beginning of spring and hope for a good harvest.

On Wednesday, May trees will be put up at 7 p.m. on Rathausplatz in Schallodenbach and 6 p.m. on Drehenthalerhof (part of Otterberg). On Thursday, May fests will start at 10:30 a.m. Thursday in the school yard in Niederkirchen; 10 a.m. at the Dorfplatz in Hirschhorn and the Dorfplatz in Bruchmühlbach; and 11 a.m. in Obernheim-Kirchenarnbach.

Germany and some other European countries also observe Labor Day Thursday. Labor Day is a legal holiday, and stores will be closed.

In 1890, May 1 was proclaimed as the day of the working class by the first international workers’ congress in Paris. It was a day to fight for an eight-hour workday and other working-class rights.

Nowadays, trade unions and workers meet for assemblies, demonstrations and political speeches.

POV shipping program undergoes changesby Mitch ChandranHeadquarters Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command

SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill — The Department of Defense’s privately owned vehicle shipping program will undergo several changes starting Thursday.

Several vehicle processing centers, where pri-vately owned vehicles are dropped off and picked up, will relocate.

With the exception of eight cities that will close their vehicle processing locations, many others will remain in the same city, but provide services at a different location and street address. Others, primarily overseas, will continue to operate at the same address and location, simply under new man-agement.

In addition, a new website, www.pcsmypov.com, has been established for service members to request and track their POV shipments.

A new contractor will manage daily vehicle pro-cessing at vehicle processing centers worldwide.

International Auto Logistics will assume the con-tract from American Auto Logistics to manage the daily activities associated with the POV contract for processing service member’s vehicles worldwide.

Eight of the current 46 VPCs will permanently close Thursday in both U.S. and overseas locations.

VPCs slated for closure in the U.S. are located in New Orleans, La.; Edison, N.J.; Orlando, Fla.; and Oakland, Calif.

Overseas vehicle processing centers that are now closed, or are slated for closure, include Mannheim, Germany (closed); Royal Air Force Croughton, England; RAF Menwith Hill, England; and Seville, Spain.

“It is important to note that American Auto Logistics will still be on hand at these eight VPC locations until Aug. 1 to service already pro-cessed vehicles until each VPC becomes empty,” said Craig McKinley, supervisory transportation management specialist for the personal property directorate. “These eight VPCs on the closure list will not accept new vehicles for processing after April 30.”

Additionally, AAL’s website, www. whereismypov.com, will remain active until all vehicles in their possession have been delivered.

For more information, contact the transportation office or personal property office.

Starting Thursday, customers who desire to ship their privately owned vehicle should call to make an appointment at a vehicle processing center.

For U.S. domestic appointments: 855-389-9499For appointments in Germany: 0800-227-7447For any other locations: 00800-227-7447Each year, DOD ships about 68,000 privately

owned vehicles with about 8,500 of them requiring storage for some length of time.

The following overseas VPCs will be vacat-ed by American Auto Logistics on Wednesday and then closed for all but emergency drop-offs

with International Auto Logistics Thursday to May 2. The facilities will reopen May 5 for all vehicles.

To aid in the transition, Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command urges cus-tomers to reduce traffic and provide the additional time needed for contractors to transition responsi-bilities:

Education Notes

MK Air Base showcases capabilities during Different School WeekStory and photo by Staff Sgt. Alexander A. Burnett 21st Theater Sustainment Command Public Affairs

MIHAIL KOGALNICEANU, Romania — Romanian and U.S. ser-vice members and airport employees showcased their occupational special-ties and unique service equipment dur-ing Different School Week April 7 to 11 at Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base.

Different School Week is done all over Romania every year. The purpose is to get children out of the classroom and learn in a different environment. There are many fi eld trips planned to different locations, said Air Force Maj. James J. Muniz, deputy senior airfi eld authority for MK Air Base.

“We did not set this up on our own, but were asked to participate by the Romanian military and civil air-fi eld,” Muniz said. “It was very much a joint mission between the U.S. and Romanian militaries and the civil side of the airport.”

The mission of military personnel hosting Romanian students ranging from age 6 to 18 on MK Air Base was to show them the various Romanian and U.S. missions. Throughout the week, more than 800 Romanian stu-dents from 15 schools visited. They enjoyed static displays and interacted with the U.S. Army, Marines, Air Force and Navy, as well as the Romanian air force.

“Not only did the military get a chance to show off their unique mis-sions here at MK, but the civilian airport also hosted these children,” Muniz said. “This is important because Romania is our host, and this is a great opportunity for us to show them what we do.”

The Romanian children were

free to explore several static dis-plays from the tenant units of MK Air Base. The joint fi re department, which includes Soldiers from multiple units and Airmen from the 48th Civil Engineering Squadron, brought two fi re trucks and let the students climb into the cab and use the sirens. The Air Force also showed off the front-mount-ed hoses by spraying water into the air.

Security forces Airmen from the 52nd Security Forces Squadron and military police Soldiers from the 202nd Military Police Company, 93rd Military Police Battalion, 89th Military Police Brigade brought a police squad car and showed the school children how to use the radio and external speaker systems. They also let the students try on their protective vests, helmets and masks. Finally, they let the children try on their handcuffs and hold collapsible batons.

“It was fun showing the kids how to use the loud speakers on our vehicle and hearing them talk to their friends from inside the squad car,” said Pfc. Tyheem A. Alphonso, military police-man assigned to the 202nd MP Co. “They were all really excited to be here, and you could tell by the smiles on their faces they were having a good time.”

The Romanian air force had its own static displays, showcasing the IAR-330 Puma helicopter and the MIG-21 Lancer jet. Children were allowed to climb into the jet’s cockpit and wear a pilot’s helmet and mask. As an added bonus, U.S. service members were also afforded the opportunity to explore the Romanian aircraft.

“Climbing into the jet was awe-some,” said U.S. Army Maj. Edward A. Brown, 21st Theater Sustainment Command’s Regional Support Element

communications offi cer. “Not many people will get an opportunity to see Romanian military equipment, let alone climb in and see it up close.”

The Air Force’s 780th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron also highlighted its aircraft with a static displayed C-17 aircraft. Children were allowed to climb up the loading ramp, explore the cargo hold and see the cockpit. Some groups of school children even saw a C-17 take off from MK Air Base dur-ing their visit.

The 780th EAS also displayed a de-icing vehicle, used to clear an aircraft’s external hull of ice, and elevated cargo loader, designed to raise personnel up to unload an aircraft.

The Marine Corps’ Black Sea Rotational Force, 3rd Battalion, 8th Marines brought a variety of vehi-cles and weapons for the Romanian school children to hold and see. They brought mortar tubes, M-240 and M-2

machine-guns, up-armored Humvees, vehicle retrieval trucks and construc-tion vehicles. The students could hold the weapons, look down optic scopes and climb into their various vehicles.

“It’s great that these kids get a chance to come out here and hang out with us for a little while. Kids always enjoy get-ting to play with our weapons systems,” said Lance Cpl. Dylan B. Hanks, squad leader assigned to BSRF. “This is also a good opportunity for them to meet us and see that we’re friendly.”

As the week drew to a close, the groups of Romanian children left with a better understanding of U.S. and Romanian military capabilities and equipment.

“This is nothing new to me since my father is in the Romanian air force, but my friends are very excited to see this,” said Julian Cozme, son of Romanian air force Maj. Vasile Cozme. “They are amazed by this.”

21st TSC Soldiers build camaraderie through command runby Staff Sgt. Warren W. Wright Jr.21st Theater Sustainment Command Public Affairs

More than 600 Soldiers and civilians from across the 21st Theater Sustainment Command participated in the 21st TSC’s Ready Strong command run April 11 on Rhine Ordnance Barracks in Kaiserslautern.

The more than three-mile run, which was led by Maj. Gen. John R. O’Connor and Command Sgt. Maj. Rodney J. Rhoades, commanding general and command sergeant major of the 21st TSC, was designed to build camaraderie and enhance team-work among fellow Soldiers.

“What a great way to bring in spring … with a great ‘Team 21’ run,” O’Connor said.

Runs like the Ready Strong event build resiliency and teamwork, Rhoades said.

“It brings the team together to build esprit de corps and enjoy life as a Soldier together,” he said.

The morning began with hundreds of Soldiers

from the 21st TSC’s subordinate commands gath-ering in formation and stretching before the day’s event.

Prior to the start of the run, the 18th Military Police Brigade uncased their colors in recogni-tion of their return from an eight-month tour in Afghanistan.

“We couldn’t be more proud of your accomplish-ments and what you’ve done to set the conditions for success in Afghanistan,” O’Connor told the bri-gade members. “Welcome back.”

After the casing ceremony, the massive formation moved out and began running down the road into the backwoods areas of ROB.

With loud cadences echoing throughout the for-mation, the line of motivated Soldiers almost a mile long stretched down the calm streets as the morning sun began to break the horizon.

“It was a good pace,” Rhoades said. “It was a great run and all of the Soldiers stuck with it and

stayed motivated.”Holding organizational events such as the com-

mand run is a way for “Team 21” to learn more about each other’s fellow teammates and at the same time learning a little about how far they can push themselves individually.

“That’s how we should start each and every day, with a little bit of comprehensive Soldier fitness,” O’Connor said. “It’s all about physical; it’s all about mental; it’s all about spiritual; it’s all about family; and it’s all about the social aspect of our lives. You bring it all together, and you add that balance into your life.”

After the run, as the Soldiers gathered around the small parking area where the run started and tried to catch their breath, O’Connor energetically spoke to the crowd on the future of the 21st TSC, the role Soldiers play in the safety and well-being of their fellow comrades, and the importance of comprehen-sive Soldier fitness.

Transcendence (PG-13) — Dr. Will Caster is the foremost researcher in the fi eld of artifi -cial intelligence, working to cre-ate a sentient machine that com-bines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His highly controver-

sial experiments have made him famous, but they have also made him the prime target of extrem-ists who will do whatever it takes to stop him. In their attempt to destroy Will, they inadvertently

become the catalyst for him to succeed.Starring Johnny Depp and Rebecca Hall.
