Morning Calm

Because we are a military community, the
worlds events are the topic of many conversationsin our homes, at the PX and even in our schools.
Make certain that our children are paying attentionto these conversations.
Children may have fear or anxiety because of
what they see on television, hear from their friends
on the playground, or hear from other
conversations. Subtle changes in parents moods
and behaviors can affect children especially if
they witness reactions in their parents that they havenot seen before.
Many times parents are unsure if their childs
response to the news of war is within the normal
range. Remembering that each child is unique, below
you will find a guide that will help you understand
age-appropriate responses as well as age-appropriate
topics for discussion.Young children (below the age of 7 or 8) might
react with fear and anxiety. This could cause some
children to become clingy and to have trouble with
TTTTTalking with childrenalking with childrenalking with childrenalking with childrenalking with children

separation. Others might have some difficulty going
to bed or staying asleep.
Parents should be prepared to spend extra time to
comfort and reassure them about their own safety and
the safety of loved ones. Parents can also help childrenunderstand why other people may be reacting to the
war in different ways.
To help reduce childrens fears and anxieties,
parents should consider limiting young childrensexposure to television coverage about the war.
Children may begin to show more war play, use
tough talk, or have mock battles. Although this canbe disturbing to adults, it is a very normal way that
children try to make sense of things that have made a
strong impression on them. As an alternative, parents
could encourage children to express themselves
through art, music or poetry. Dont be surprised,
however, if the themes expressed in these activities
include aspects of war (e.g., fighting, death, displaysof military power).
Parents may want to initiate conversations with
older children (age 10 or so) about the events they
have seen on television. It is important to allow older
children to participate in viewing and talking about the
news if they want to. It is also wise to encourage their
continued participation in the normal routines andactivities that they enjoy. This will bring normalcy to
life and help diminish anxieties.
Children often want to find out more about what,
where, and why as a way of trying to understand
things they find confusing. Parents need to be
prepared to answer these questions, or at least be
willing to help find an age-appropriate answer.Finally, children may find some comfort in the
days and weeks ahead by doing something or taking
some kind of action that makes them feel like they
are making a difference. You can help them withspecific projects at home, in school or as part of an
informal or organized group. Although you might
have some suggestions for these projects, considerallowing children to come up with their own ideas
for what they can do to help. Taking action can help
children feel more empowered in confusing times.
Children that have a parent deployed may
experience anxiety due to the news of specific battles
in the area in which their parent is deployed. Consider
limiting anxiety by previewing the news andnewspaper articles before your child has the
opportunity to view it.
For information on supporting your child in dealing
with the issue of war, deployment or anxiety, contact
the appropriate counselor for assistance: Janine Parker
(grades K-1), Melissa Royalty (2-3) and Rydell
Wilkins (4-5), at 736-4613.(Editors Note: Melissa Royalty is a counselor for
grades 2-3 at Seoul American Elementary School.)
The RSOI/Foal Eagle 06
exercise presents a great
opportunity for our entire
U.S. Forces Korea team to assess our
mission essential tasks and operating
procedures for supporting receiving,staging, onward movement and
integration of on- and offshore forces
into the fight.
I know that everyone in USFK
will work hard to gain the maximum
training benefit from this exercise.
Should war come, our success willbe largely determined by our ability
to execute RSOI to standard.
During RSOI/FE06, we will see
our formations executing high-risk
training. I accept this risk, but only
with the right risk management
procedures and the mitigation of all
r i sk fac to rs to no t more thanmoderate with senior supervision,
and preferably to low.
In all this, it is essential that
commanders and leaders at al l
echelons engage with their outfits
to ensu re safe execu t ion . As
exerc i se p lay p rogresses , the
potential for accidents increases.To exercise safely, we have to
defeat complacency overconfidence
and indeed fatigue. It is important
to review lessons learned formprev ious t ra in ing exerc i ses to

ensure we understand the challenges
fac ing ou r fo rces and work to
mitigate those factors.
In o rder to ensu re we se t
conditions for safe execution of
RSOI and Foal Eagle, we must allaggressively embrace composite
r i sk managemen t and r i sk
mitigation.
Commanders are responsible and
first-line leaders are the decisive
po in t in th i s e f fo r t . I wan t
commanders to empowersubordinates, while holding them
accountable for the safety of their
servicemembers, crews, teams and
squads.
I expec t l eaders and
servicemembers to be thoroughly
familiar with risk assessment and
risk mitigation guidance regardingair, ground, sea and port operations.
Success of this exercise will be
measured against our execution of
battle tasks, management of tactical
risks for changing situations and,
importantly, how safely we conduct
the operation.
I am deeply committed to the
achievement of our RSOI and Foal
Eagle training objectives. I am also
equally insistent that we execute thetraining safely.
No serious injury or loss of life
is absolutely achievable in this
upcoming exercise domain.
Commanders and leaders, take
charge of your uni ts .
Servicemembers , I want you totrain and exercise safely.
Thanks to al l four your
commitment to our great Republic
of Korea ally and the security of this
magn i f icen t l and . I g rea t ly
appreciate what you do and the
professionalism you exhibit in doing
it.We go together!

SEOUL Seventy-nine Sailorsassigned to Commander, U.S. Naval
Forces Korea took the semi-annual,
Navy-wide advancement test cycle
that ended March 16 when the Navy
Seamen (E-3) put down their pencils.
Petty officer second classes (E-5)
took the examination March 2 andthird classes (E-4) took the
examination March 9.
The 200-question test, offered in
the spring and fall, assesses each
sailors knowledge of Navy Basic
Military Requirements and the sailorsspecialty or rating.
The test score, however, is one offour main criteria used to determine
advancement. A final multiple of total
points is composed of the test score,
evaluation average, points for awards
and points for passing the test but notadvancing.
Advancement is based on an
evaluation of the whole sailor that
includes test score and performance,
said Chief of Naval Operations-
directed Command Master Chief Petty
Officer Michael C. Bruner. How theyact, wear their uniform, perform on
the job and how
they do on thescore decides
whether they
move up in
rank or not.Education
Services
Officer, and
Test Control
Officer, Chief
Personnel Specialist Sylvan Franklyn
said though there are many factorsinvolved in ascending to the next pay
grade, the test determines the bulk of
the score. That means sitting down

with the Bibliography (Bibs) and Navy
instruction books and studying.Using the Bibs to study is the best
way to improve your chances of getting
advanced. Good evaluation and award
points counts towards advancement,
the more personal awards you have the
more points you earn going into the
exam, Franklyn said.But for sailors whose rates are the
most competitive, only
the most diligent
advance.
Yeoman Second
Class Kari Betancourttook the first class test
for the sixth time.
I print out the
bibliography for the
exam and then make a
binder with all the
references and then I go through eachreference and try to summarize things
to make practice questions to help me
study, Betancourt said.
Test results will be out in June and
for those who have prepared properly,
the reward may mean more respect,
responsibility and money. Still not
everyone will advance, but accordingto Betancourt that is not reason
enough to let frustration overwhelm
her efforts to succeed.
Until I pass I wont get
discouraged, I know it may take some
time to make rate, said Betancourt.
In the end, when I make first class,it will definitely be worth it.
CNFK is the regional commander for
the U.S. Navy in the Republic of Korea

RODRIGUEZ RANGE Lined up in a file,
the M1 Abrams tanks named Cold Pimpin,
Crimson Knight, Death Wish and Doin
Time stood proudly with cannons raised and
ready for Soldiers to fire the newest
ammunition in their arsenal during a live-fireexercise held at Rodriguez Range March 7.
Soldiers with the 1st Heavy Brigade Combat
Team conducted a short sustainment gunneryexercise to test new canister rounds that will
accompany heat and sabot rounds currently in
their munitions store.
This is the first time were firing thesecanister rounds and the live fire enables
Soldiers to see what it can do, said Maj. Chris
Connolly, operations officer, 2nd Battalion, 9th
Infantry
Regiment.
According
to adocument
released by
1st HBCT,
the newcanisters turn
the tanks into
a giantshotgun. At
100 meters
the new
round
pulverized a
cinder-block
wall and theenemy behind
it. After
several test
shoots at a
utility
vehicle, all
scores were100 percent,
leaving the
vehicle destroyed.
The shot spreads are of 3/8-inch ball
bearings spewing from the main gun. The shot
is a consistent 10 meter spread for every 100
meters. There are 1,100 of
these deadly marbles in
every canister fired.
Massive power on agroup of infantry quickly
is the main purpose of the
round, thats what it was
made for, said Kim Dean,
a TRADOC Systems
Manager-Abrams
contractor from FortKnox, Ky.
The exercise tested fire
at dummy troops fromranges of 200, 300, 400
meters, and 100 meters at
troops in the wood lines.
Kim said the maximumeffective range of the
round is 500 meters.
Heat and sabot rounds
are primarily anti-vehicle. Tanks are best at
killing other tanks. Sabot rounds will put a
hole in a wall. Heat rounds will burn a hole
through a lot of armor, but again, it just makesa hole.
Canister rounds will give us that spread
like a shotgun, that will be more effective than
heat or sabot rounds to eliminate enemy spreadout in the weeds. It would be like trying to
take a sledge hammer to take out a gnat.A canister round is anti-personnel but can
also be used to clear away wire, obstacles,
mine fields, knock down walls and suppress a
bunker. It gives the tank a lot more capabilities
in a restrictive environment, Connolly said.
Soldiers who fired these
rounds speculated what thenew round could do and
how easily it would be to
work with.
My expectation of the
new round is it will knock
down some freakin walls and
put holes in stuff, said Spc.Mark Lannholm, a 2-9 Inf. gunner. Coming out
here gives us the advantage of seeing how thenew round performs and actually getting the feel
of it. Instead of just training on electronics, you
actually get to take crews down and have

commander. We think it should do a great job
of suppressing troop targets without collateral
effects which is what were having a hard
time doing in Iraq.This will make it much easier and Soldiers
wont be as limited to what they can dopertaining to the rules of engagement.
The exercise consisted of 10 targets of
varying distances including mine fields,
cement walls, dummy troops, utility vehiclesand bunkers.
The rounds riddled these targets with
multiple wounds. Many of the targets
resembled spaghetti strainers
because of all the holes put
through them. However, not
everyone was impressed.I thought it wouldve been a
bigger spread, said Pfc. Benjamin
Guillon, a tank uploader. It was a
light round though, so it wasnt
hard to load.Whatever the opinions were at the range,
Soldiers were able to test the new round andsee what it can do to varying targets.
It was a great event and a great
opportunity for all the Soldiers out here to see
what the Armys coming up with, said Jason
Dunm, tank commander, 2-9 Inf.
The concrete target (top) proved no matchfor a direct hit from the new cannister round(bottom).
Soldiers relax by their tanks prior to engaging targets with new cannister ammunition atRodriguez Range March 7.
My expectation of thenew round is it will knock
down some freakin walls
and put holes in stuff.

By Pfc. Lee Seung HyubSecond Infantry Division Public Affairs
RODRIGUEZ RANGE The 2nd
Infantry Division invited community
leaders of Pocheon City to RodriguezRange, to provide a better understanding
of how and why they train the way they
do here.
First Heavy Brigade Combat TeamCommander Col. Michael Feil hosted the
visit on March 6.
An Army bus drove the visitors around
the range, passing the Military Operations
in Urban Terrain training site.
Looking down from a hill, the MOUT
training site consisted of traditional Koreanhouses with kiwa roofs and some urban-
style buildings like those seen on a movie
set.
Laser beams are used instead of live
fires here, Feil said.As for the graves around the range,
Feil said, Families are allowed to visit
their decendants graves and conduct their
traditional rituals.
Next, they went to see the Warrior
Valley training site.
To protect the natural stream bed,
either side of the water is blocked by
cement, Feils said, assuring local citizens
the Army had taken measures to protect
the landscape.
There are two good benefits to using
this site. One is that live-fire rounds willnot fly out of the training site, furthermore,
the valley will reduce the noise, Feil said.
From there, the bus headed to the range
tower, the highest point at Rodriquez
Range.
At the tower building, Meals Ready to
Eat, and fruit was available for the visitors.
Pfc. Seo Sang Myun, Headquarters andHeadquarters Company, 1st HBCT,
demonstrated how to boil the MRE for
the visitors before Feil continued his brief.
Feil mentioned the two priorities that
U.S. Forces Korea commanders had
come up with. One was ensuring peaceand stability of the peninsula. The second
was enhancing warfighting readiness.
He also said there are three factors to
being safe and to preserving the
environment.
He mentioned the safety for the localcommunity, the safety and preservation
for the Soldiers and the preservation of
local terrain.
Rodriguez Range opens to local leaders
By firing at the mountain, we can
ensure the safety of the Soldiers as well
as that of the local people, Feil said. In
addition to force protection, we almostalways fire at wooden targets, not on
metal targets so that the rounds will not
bounce off.
I train here almost every day and the
relationship with the local people here is
very important. We will continue to
coordinate with Eighth Army to preventaccidents from occurring and to carry on
the agreement we have made with the
Republic of Korea, Feil said.Lee Yong Jik, the community leader
of Oga-sam-ree said tanks destroyed the
drainage road and he wished something
would be done to fix it.The vice mayor of Pocheon City was
informed by Kim Hyong Nam, the
community relations officer at Camp
Casey Enclave, that there existed a proper
channel to resolve such problems and
explained the process to communityleaders.
Today was a good opportunity for the
Army to hear the voice of the local people
in person, said Hwang Yung Chul, the
vice mayor of Pocheon City.First Heavy Brigade Combat TeamCommander Col. Michael Feil assists a visitor

CAMP CASEY Camp Caseys Leisure Travel Office, oncelocated in the Morale Welfare and Recreation building, has moved
to Building 2408 behind the Post Exchange.
With the move, the LTO has consolidated with the Official
Travel Office and become the Commercial Travel Office.
The reason for the change is because both offices were
providing virtually the same services but were divided into two
separate entities because the needs of the customers weredifferent.
The Leisure Travel Office provided airline tickets for personal
travel to the United States or anywhere else abroad.On the other hand, the Official Travel Office provided tickets
for official travel such as permanent change of station, temporary
duty and emergency leave.
Because they were providing almost the same services, many
customers ended up in the wrong office.
To reduce confusion it was decided to consolidate the offices.Furthermore, the decrease in traffic due to the amount of Soldiers
now stationed at Camp Casey didnt require two offices.
Leisure TLeisure TLeisure TLeisure TLeisure Travel Office moves, expands servicesravel Office moves, expands servicesravel Office moves, expands servicesravel Office moves, expands servicesravel Office moves, expands servicesBefore our offices were consolidated, I worked for
the Official Travel Office and there were a lot of leisure
travel customers coming into our office, said Kim
Myung-Hui, site manager. So we had to send the
customers to the Leisure Travel Office and heard a lotof complaints.
Since merging, those problems are a thing of the past.
However, another problem has occurred. Since the LTO
has moved, some customers had difficulty finding them.
After the consolidation, customers who want leisure
travel have decreased because of difficulty finding our
office, said Oh Eun-Young, sales representative.
The CTO provides almost every airline ticket fromAmerican Airlines to Korean Air and also has tour
programs.
We are providing all kinds of airline tickets for the
lowest price, said Lee Hyunju, sales representative. We
also have a tour programs such as China and Japan.
The CTOs operation hours are from 9 a.m. to 5p.m. weekdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

KIM POK MAN
The 2006 Warrior Division Post Level Invitational Soccer Tournament was held at Carey PhysicalFitness Center, Camp Casey, March 11-23. The Camp Casey Team A won the championshipby defeating Camp Red Cloud by the score of 1-0. Both of these teams will represent WarriorCountry (Area I) in the 2006 Eighth United States Army Indoor Soccer Championship, April 21-23at Area IVs Camp Carroll, Waegan, Area IV.
CAMP CASEY After a brutal
two-day tournament, indoor soccer
teams from Camp Casey and CampRed Cloud met for the Area I Indoor
Soccer Championship.Unlike outdoor soccer, the indoor
game only allows five players per
team on the playing surface
including the goalie. Goalies are also
not allowed to use their hands to
block a shot on the small goal.
Usually played on a basketballcourt, the indoor game can also be
very rough and fast-paced.
Coming out of the losers bracket
the CRC team needed two wins over
Camp Casey A to take home the
Area I Championship.Before the game, CRC playerRogerlio Pineda said, we expect to
have a great match.
Back and forth it went in the first

half, with no team able to gain an edge.
That was until Camp Caseys
Alvaro Barragan received a long
pass from midcourt and put the ballinto the back of the net, giving the
Casey team a 1-0 lead at the half.
But the Casey team did not stopthere. Less than a minute into the
second half Leroy Tolo gave a swift
kick to the ball out of midair putting
it into the goal for a 2-0 lead.I knew the ball was going in
once it hit my foot, Tolo said.
The 2-0 lead was too much for
the CRC team to overcome, as they
were unable to get the ball into the
Casey teams net after repeated
attempts.The game was hard but it was
good to win, Tolo said.
Im very happy we won because
thats what weve been practicingfor the last month, said Caseys
Adan Alfaro.
SEOUL The Han River welcomed thousandsof area runners and 2nd Infantry Division Soldiers
competing in the Seoul Marathon with a fresh breeze
at the Han River Park March 5.
The annual international competition is a
prestigious event, celebrating its ninth anniversary
this year. About 12,000 amateur runners participate
in this event each year, which boasts the largestforeign competition among Korean marathons.
The event consisted of four course selections
including six kilometer, 12 km, 21.0975 km (half-
marathon course), and 42.195 km (full-marathon
course).The 9th Annual Seoul Marathon Race featuredabout 250 Soldiers from 1st Heavy Brigade Combat
Team, Fires Brigade, 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade
and Special Troops Battalion.
The Soldiers arrived early at Han River Park signing
up at the Good Neighbor tent, set up by the Eighth
U.S. Army, to pick up their numbers and chips.
The electronic chips were used for the time check

course.
My section chief encouraged me to enter this
event and here I am ready to run, said Pfc. Kim
Dong Yoon, Headquarters and Headquarter Company,1st Bn., 15th Field Artillery, who participated in the
half-marathon course run. The scenery here is
beautiful and the air is very fresh. I think its going
to be a great run today.
The full course group was divided into two groups,
A and B. The A group consisted of runners
with a recorded run time under 2 hours, 40 minutes.As the starting gun alerted runners to begin the
race, the Eighth Army Band began playing music
lifting the crowd to its feet among shouts ofencouragement as the A runners went by followed
by the B group.
After a couple of hours the lead group of the half-
marathon race reached the finish line determiningthe event champion.
Although 2ID Soldiers didnt come in as the
winners, many finished the course proving they are
truly Warriors of the 2nd Infantry Division.

Have you been wondering whether or not you can
deduct that contribution to the Combined FederalCampaign? Or maybe youd like to know how much
income tax you should tell your employer to withhold?
Well, wonder no longer; because the Internal Revenue
Service has a very useful Web site that can easily
answer these questions and many others.
The Web site is www.irs.gov. Whether youve
already finished this years personal income taxes, orare working to meet an extended deadline, the
homepage has a number of links to useful information.
On the left hand side, there is a link called Wheres
My Refund? Youll need your social security number,
your filing status and the amount of your refund.
Click Submit and you should be told when your
refund was sent to you or directly deposited in youraccount.
Note that sometimes the amount of refund you
expected to receive is different from the amount the
IRS actually gives you. This is usually due to simple
math errors on your part.
In cases like this, the IRS simply makes the correctionfor you and sends you the correct amount.
Another useful link on the IRS home page is entitled
Frequently Asked Questions. This link is in the middle,
along the bottom. Click on this and the site will take you
to a list of topics -- you can search by category or by

on the keyword list, so be sure to check both.You can find all kinds of topics here -- tax treatment
of Independent Retirement Accounts, IRS procedures
and information for U.S. citizens living abroad -- just to
name a few.
A third useful link is the Taxpayer Advocate. This
one is right next to the Frequently Asked Questions
link. The taxpayer advocate may be able to help you ifyou have an ongoing issue with the IRS that you have
been trying to resolve.
If youre having problems with the IRS, it is a good
idea to call them and try to work it out. The IRS offers

Area II explores options to restore public works services,
prays for injured Korean Service Corps employees
By David McNallyArea II Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON The March 16 fire that
devastated much of the Yongsan public works and Korean
Service Corps compounds also left its mark on the
employees who worked there.
Some employees found out about the blaze afterreporting for duty, only to find their offices and
workshops completely destroyed. Others, like Carpenter
Shop Foreman Yim Mu-ho, were called moments after
the fire was discovered.
When I saw the fire, I felt helpless, Yim said. I just
stood and watched the buildings burn for three hours.
Yim couldnt get near his building because of theongoing emergency response.
Approximately 185 Korean employees were displaced
by the fire. About 70 Korean employees worked in YimsU-shaped Building 1300, a 1958-vintage wood and
cinderblock structure that was home to carpentry,
masonry and other shops.
A U.S. Army employee for 36 years, he said this wasthe worst thing that has ever happened.
I feel devastated, Yim said. I dont know what the
future will bring. At the moment, we feel lost.
In the hours after firefighters extinguished the flames,
some employees ventured a look at their offices.Heating Branch worker Chae Tu-sok searched what
was left of his desk in Building 1346.
Chae found a set of keys and walked slowly away
from his desk.
Director of Public Works Col. Paul Legere met with
Chae and other DPW employees Friday afternoon toreassure and encourage them.
We are a DPW family and well get through this
together, Legere said. Well take care of you.
Legere said equipment would be replaced and the
organization would be better than it was in providing
services to Yongsan Garrisons 25,000-plus residents.
At the meeting, 8th U.S. Army claims personnel toldemployees how to file for loss of work uniforms or
other personal property in the burned buildings.
Legere said his staff is now working from temporaryfacilities and still answering work orders.
The impact of the fire should be transparent to our
customers, he said.
For DPW employees like Yim, who have invested muchof their lives working for the U.S. Army, the fire may be
out, but rebuilding from the ashes is far from over.

YONGSAN GARRISON Three
Korean Service Corps employees were
seriously injured March 16 in an early
morning fire that destroyed several
Yongsan Garrison buildings.The men are being treated for burns at
a local Korean hospital.
The blaze destroyed one Korean
Service Corps building and two adjacent
Directorate of Public Works buildings thathoused offices and workshops.
Our prayers go out to the KoreanService Corps employees and their
families, said Area II Commander Col.
Ron Stephens. We wish for their speedy
recovery.
The Area II Support Activity Fire
Department responded to the huge firearound 1:55 a.m. Korean firefighters from
nine Seoul districts also responded with
63 fire trucks and more than 130
personnel. The fire was contained within
about five hours, though hot spots were
still being extinguished throughout the day.
Stephens thanked the Korean firedepartments that responded under a
mutual assistance agreement with the
Area II Support Activity Fire Department.
Without their help, we may have lost
many more buildings, Stephens said.
Area II Fire Chief Alex Temporado said
the fire is the largest in memory at YongsanGarrison.
My senior firefighters, who have been
here for more than 35 years, say this was
the largest fire they have ever fought,
said Temporado.The impact of the fire was immediate.
Gate 1 was closed until around 6:20 a.m.
as Korea National Police personnel
secured the outside perimeter. Korean fire
trucks, red lights flashing in the dark rainy
night, lined the avenue across from the
USO at Camp Kim as firefighters blastedwater over the garrison wall. At the peak
of the fire, flames shot high into the sky.Inside, Area II Support Activity
firefighters battled the blaze as Directorate
of Public Works and other personnel
braved dense smoke to empty buildings
of paint and other flammable materials incase the fire spread.
In addition to offices and workshops,
we lost a lot of tools, supplies and other
equipment, said Director of Public Works
Col. Paul Legere, adding that eight fire-
damaged DPW trucks are repairable.
Legere said a cost assessment is underway to accurately estimate the total
amount of damage.
He said that offices and shops once
housed in the lost buildings will be relocated
and tools and equipment will be replaced
as quickly as possible.
Its been a shock, but were still inbusiness. Some installation services may
be affected, but there has been no impact
on service order requests.
The cause of the fire is under investigation
by the Korea National Police and the U.S.
Army Criminal Investigation Division.

YONGSAN GARRISON About 15 Yongsancommunity members learned about AIDS March 10 at a
public lecture at the Dragon Hill Lodge.The University of Maryland University College invites the
public to free lectures on important social issues about fivetimes a year as a community service.
Dr. Cho Myung-hwan, AIDS Society of Asia and thePacific president, gave a presentation about AIDS deadliness
and how to protect against it.Forty million people are
infected with HIV, Cho said.Among them, 30 millionpeople die from AIDS, a
subordinate symptom after a victim is infected by HIV.Cho talked about how the virus destroys a persons
immune system and what pre-tests are available.Unfortunately, we dont have a vaccine for AIDS, he
said.Cho explained how a cocktail of 27 drugs helps patients
live longer.He mentioned several partially successful vaccines that
only work for certain ethnic groups.

Public lectures cover social, education issuesCho also detailed the economic loss due to HIV that can
be devastating to a nation in the long run.
Last year among the HIV-infected patients, half of them
were young kids from 14 years of age to 24, he said. These
people are the ones that will eventually lead our future.
Of the 15 AIDS lecture attendees, many were UMUC
students, but some used the information to further their
knowledge for graduate studies.Im a graduate student studying the AIDS epidemic, and
this lecture has been really helpful, said 1st Lt. Adrian Alina.
I think its important for the military to inform Soldiers of
AIDS and HIV awareness.
Cho pointed out prejudices some people
have against HIV patients. The truth, he said,
is that HIV can only be transferred by bodyfluids.
I always had a vague idea what AIDS was, said Kim
Hak-sun, another lecture attendee. Now I know clearly how
HIV actually kills a person.
Cho said after getting his doctorate he wanted to share his
studies about AIDS with the community.
I have been doing lectures about AIDS since 1991, hesaid. I think its important for everyone to be aware of AIDS.

YONGJU TRAINING CENTER
K-16 Air Base Soldiers took out some
aggression March 4 by blasting each
other with paintballs.
The 28 Soldiers split off into red and
blue teams for two capture-the-flaggames at Yongju Training Center,
alternating offense and defense.
Although the bus ride down lasted
nearly three hours, many Soldiers felt
the travel time was well worth the
experience.This was probably the best Morale,
Welfare and Recreation trip Ive ever
been on, said Spc. McKenna
McClellan, 2nd Brigade, 2nd AviationRegiment. I managed to get some of
my friends together and just have a really
good time doing a fun group activity.Everyone wore protective masks and
reviewed a few safety rules before
beginning the first game.
Youre all military personnel, and
youve all done this before, so you know
the rules, said Eric Yim, K-16
Community Activity Center director.Stay at a safe shooting distance and
announce close kills. These things are
washable, but if you get a bruise it stays
for a little while.
Far from being a flat battle arena,
K-16 Air Base Soldiers have paintball blast
players in Yongju have a whole
mountain at their disposal, complete
with crunching leaves, thorny vines and
fallen branches.McClellan said getting shot with a
paintball hurts about as much as the
sticks and trees jabbing during the game.
Ive played before, but never quite
like this, she said.
Some players had fun applying
combat strategy to their game.
We broke off into three squads in

adventure, folk village tour
order to flank them left and right while
the center kept them occupied, said
blue team captain Sgt. Neil Rerucha,
2nd Brigade, 2nd Aviation Regiment.We tried to use combat movements to
get up the mountain and camouflage
ourselves, so I think this was really great
from a military standpoint.
Other players were a bit less
technical.
Dont get shot, said red team
captain Sgt. Jacob Mohn, 2nd Brigade,
2nd Aviation Regiment. Take cover. We
dont really have a strategy, were justgoing to run in and beat them.
The blue team won the first game
by storming the top of the mountain and
overwhelming the defenders.
The second game ended differently,
however, with the red attackers racingin and stealing their opponents flag
while most of the defending squads
were busy elsewhere.
We wanted to set up a few ambush
sites, which we did, but we still didnt
see them, Rerucha said.
Rerucha wrongly assumed that thered team had gone up the valley.
The force we sent out to meet them
didnt work out, he said.
Following the paintball games, the
group ate lunch at a village located within
walking distance of the paintball course.Following a brief tour of the area, it
was back to the bus for a three-hour
ride back to K-16 Air Base.
Yim said this trip was so successful
he is already planning future paintball
events.
K-16 wants to challenge Yongsan,
so Im trying to set up something likethat, Yim said. Were looking at
different courses, but this is the only
one Ive seen that allows you to go up
into the mountains; get out into nature
and have fun.

YONGSAN GARRISON The
Army Troop Command saluted women
March 14 at the Dragon Hill Lodge,during a Womens History Month
celebration.
Guest speaker Col. Donna Alberto,
secretary Combined Joint Staff, focused
largely on one womans struggle to
open the Women in Military Service for
America Memorial at Arlington NationalCemetery, Va.
Alberto said that one woman was
retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Wilma L.
Vaught.
One wonders how one woman
could possibly affect an entire
community, but you can, Alberto said.Vaught was one woman who touched
not only every woman in the armed
forces, but every woman who preceded
her, even into the American Revolution.
One of Vaughts greatest
contributions, in addition to the
dedication of the Arlington memorial,was a database listing every woman who
ever served her country, to include
American Red Cross workers before
women were allowed in the military.
When I saw the opening of that
memorial, I was so awestruck and so
touched by the show of support that I
immediately committed myself to
volunteer there, Alberto said. Eversince [then], I have tried to start some
outreach wherever I have beenstationed.
This years theme was builders of
communities and dreams.
Another important part of the
ceremony involved nine women dressedup as famous figures in history. Each
woman read a short paragraph about
the woman she represented, and then
invited the audience to guess her identity.
The women represented were figures
like Condoleezza Rice, Oprah Winfrey
and Clara Barton.I thought that was the best part of
the ceremony, said Michelle Van-
Woodfork. We dont often hear about
the women who opened the doors for
us, and it was interesting that there were
so many the audience couldnt name.Several other presentations, such as
a poetry reading and duet, honored the
accomplishments of women.
I enjoyed the ceremony, and I
especially appreciated seeing so many
men here, said Rosemary Dow, who
dressed as Clara Barton. In a lot ofplaces women are still held back, but
its good for our little girls to have role
models like these to look up to, and I
think its making a difference.

Resources available to document newborns citizenship
SEOUL If you are an American parent of a
newborn child, the child most likely is entitled to
U.S. citizenship. Parents should apply on behalf ofthe child for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad
issued by the American Citizen Services Unit at the
U.S. Embassy in Seoul.
Before receiving a U.S. passport or a Social
Security number, the child needs to be
documented as a U.S. citizen. Since there areseveral requirements, it is important to start the
CRBA process as soon as possible after the child
is born.
If the child will travel outside Korea, he or she
will need a U.S. passport. In addition, Korean
Immigration requires that parents of U.S. citizen
children obtain a Korean visa in their childspassport within 30 days of the childs birth, if the
child will remain in Korea for more than 30 days.
Failure to apply for a childs Korean visa couldresult in a fine levied by Korean Immigration.
Only the childs parents or legal guardian may
apply for a CRBA on the childs behalf. The CRBAapplication must be signed before a United States
consular officer or a designated military official.Applying for CRBA, Passport and SSN
Most parents choose to apply for their childs
U.S. passport at the same time as the CRBA. It
takes about two weeks to process an application for
a passport because the application is forwarded tothe United States, where the passport is printed.
The childs passport and CRBA can be sent by
military courier delivery service for pick up from a
military passport acceptance agent or may be picked
up at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul. The CRBA
application includes the application for a Social
Security card. The childs Social Security card will
be sent directly to the parent by the Social SecurityAdministration. Please allow from three to six
months for the card to arrive.
Both parents must bring their child to either the
American Citizen Services Unit of the Embassy or
one of the USFK passport acceptance facilities
located at Camp Casey (for all of Area 1), CampHenry (Daegu), Camp Hialeah (Busan), K-2 Air Base
(Daegu), Kunsan Air Base, Osan Air Base or
Yongsan Garrison.
Parents will need to present on behalf of their
child:
! Application for a Consular Report of Birth
Abroad (DS-2029/SS-5);
! Application for a U.S. Passport DS-11;
! Two passport photographs of the child (2-
inches-by-2-inches on a white background, eyesopen, with parents hands hidden from view);
! $147 fee ($82 for the passport and $65 for the
CRBA) payable by money order made out to
Cashier FMC, American Embassy Seoul ifapplying at a USFK base; if applying at the U.S.
Embassy, U.S. dollars or Korean won equivalent in
cash or by credit card.
! Evidence of the childs birth, such as an
original U.S. military hospital certificate, which must
be signed and sealed by the doctor or a hospital
administrator, or a Korean hospital birth certificate,which must be accompanied by an English
translation;
! Evidence of U.S. citizenship of the parent(s),
which can be one of the following: full-validity U.S.
passport, U.S. birth certificate, CRBA,
naturalization/citizenship certificate, and/or CRBA
for a previous child of the same marriage bornoverseas. Evidence of citizenship documents must
be either an original or a copy certified by theissuing agency. A photocopy or a true copy
cannot be accepted;
! Evidence of identity: a valid photo ID such as
a military ID card or drivers license;
! If only one parent is a U.S. citizen, evidence
of the American parent having resided in the U.S. orbeen with the U.S. military for at least five years,
two years of which were after the age of 14.
! If married, an original or certified copy of the
marriage certificate issued by a city, state, or foreign
government;
! Evidence of legal termination of any
previous marriages, such as original or certified
copies of all divorce or annulment decrees ordeath certificates. For a Korean citizen, the
Family Census Register is acceptable proof of
legal termination of a prior marriage. An English
translation must be included.
! Confirmation of paternity if the father is
the only U.S. citizen and the parents are notmarried.
CRBA and passport regulations are complex
and reflect changes to U.S. law as enacted by
Congress. For downloadable forms and up-to-
date information about documenting a child as a
U.S. citizen, visit the Embassy Web site at
www.asktheconsul.org.

Passover traditions provide meaningful lessonsPassover traditions provide meaningful lessonsPassover traditions provide meaningful lessonsPassover traditions provide meaningful lessonsPassover traditions provide meaningful lessons
Passover, which begins April 12 at sundown,
concludes at nightfall April 20. The night before
Passover, the house and the car are searched forleaven (bread), which tradition dictates should be
burnt or sold by the next morning.The first two days and the last two days of
Passover are major holy days and work-related
activities are not allowed. Work is permitted during
the intermediate days.
The story of Passover is told in the book of
Exodus. Jewish people were slaves to the rulers in
Egypt for more than two centuries. Moses receivesa divine call at the burning bush to lead the Jewish
people out of bondage. Ten plagues were visited on
the Egyptians. The final one, death of firstborn
sons, passes over the Jewish homes and the
Egyptian king agrees to let the people go. With no
time to wait for bread to rise, the Jews eat roasted
lamb with unleavened bread and bitter herbs the

first observance of Passover. Moses then leads theJewish people through the Red Sea to Mount Sinai
where they receive the Torah.
Passover, as the holiday of spring, symbolizes
renewal, freedom and deliverance, and has alwayscaptured the American imagination. Thomas
Jefferson proposed for the U.S. national seal adepiction of the Israelites in the desert, led by a
cloud and a pillar of fire (Exodus 13:21). Benjamin
Franklins proposal was Moses lifting his staff,
splitting the sea (Exodus 14:16) with the motto
Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to G-d.
Almost a century later, the chorus of the spiritual
calling for freedom from slavery began with Godown, Moses, and ended with Let my people go.
The Passover Seder, the traditional holiday meal
of the first and second nights of the festival, is an
opportunity for all members of the family to join
together in thanksgiving. The story of the Exodus
is retold through songs, prayers and stories. EachSeder participant symbolically experiences the
bitterness of slavery by eating the bitter herbs,
and feels the joy of being redeemed by drinking
four cups of wine and eating a festive meal.
The special biblical precept that is identified with
Passover is the eating of and getting rid of allleavened food for the entire eight days of the
holiday. Matzah is called the bread of afflictionbecause it was fed to the Jewish slaves in Egypt.
When eaten during the Seder, it brings back
memories of the Egyptian experience. A deeper
insight into the matzah is that the flat unleavened
bread represents humility, which is the beginning of
liberation and spiritual growth. Only a person who
can acknowledge his own shortcomings and submitto a higher wisdom can free himself from his own
limitations.
May we all be blessed this holiday season to pass
over limitations and realize the infinite potential in
every aspect of life.
