Taking this survey

From 175th Financial Management
YONGSAN GARRISON — The De-
fense Travel Management Office has
extended the Living Pattern Survey to
May 15.
The participation rate has been low
for all locations to include Seoul, Camp
Casey, Daegu, Camp Humphrey, Osan,
and Chinhae. This is your chance to di-
rectly affect the amount of cost of liv-
ing allowance in your pay.
The key to a successful LPS is
maximum participation and accurate
data.  Therefore, all Service members
stationed in Korea for more than three
months are being asked to take the
survey at: http://175fmc.korea.army.

Historic signing opens doors

to identify what percentage of their
shopping is performed on and off-post.
For the off-post shopping, it requires
members to identify their primary off-
post shopping locations for each cat-
egory on a list of goods and services.
The results of the LPS are used to com-
plete the Retail Price Schedule, which
is the second part of the COLA Cam-
paign. The results of the LPS and RPS
generate the new baseline for COLA in
Korea.
The survey is highly encouraged be-
cause it will affect future COLA rates in
Korea. For more information, call the

From a Department of Veterans Affairs
WASHINGTON — Veterans dealing with symptoms
of post-traumatic stress disorder can turn to their smart-
phones for help any time with the “PTSD Coach” applica-
tion created by the Veterans Affairs and Defense depart-
ments.
“This is about giving veterans and service members
the help they earned when and where they need it,” Vet-
erans Affairs Secretary Eric K. Shinseki said. “We hope
they, their families and friends download this free app.
Understanding PTSD and those who live with it is too
important to ignore.”
PTSD Coach lets users track their symptoms, links
them with local sources of support, provides accurate in-
formation and helpful individualized strategies for man-
aging symptoms, officials said. The app is now available
for download from the iTunes Store and will be available
for Android devices by the end of the spring.
“This application acknowledges the frequency with
which our warriors and veterans use technology and al-
lows them to get help when and where they feel most
comfortable,” said Dr. Jonathan Woodson, assistant sec-
retary of defense for health affairs.
PTSD Coach is primarily designed to enhance services
for individuals who are already receiving mental health
care, though it is helpful for those considering enter-
ing mental health care and those who just want to learn
more about post-traumatic stress, officials said.
“This is a great service we are providing to veterans,
service members, their families and friends, but it should
not be seen as a replacement for traditional therapy,” said
Dr. Robert Petzel, VA’s undersecretary for health. “Vet-
erans should utilize all of the benefits they have earned
with their service, and one of the best things about this
app is it will get veterans connected to the places that are
out there to provide help.”
The application is one of the first in a series of jointly
designed resources by the VA National Center for PTSD
and the Defense Department’s National Center for Tele-
health and Technology to help service members, veter-
ans, their families and friends manage their readjust-
ment challenges and get anonymous assistance, officials
said. x

From American Forces
Press Service
WASHINGTON — The deadline for
eligible service members, veterans and
their beneficiaries to apply for Retro-
active Stop Loss Special Pay has been
extended to Oct. 21, allowing those eli-
gible more time to apply for the ben-
efits they’ve earned under the program
guidelines.
The deadline extension is included
in Continuing Resolution H.R. 1473,
signed by President Obama April 15
providing funding for federal govern-
ment operations through Oct. 21.
The RSLSP was established to com-
pensate for the hardships military
members encountered when their ser-
vice was involuntarily extended under
Stop Loss Authority between Sept. 11,
2001, and Sept. 30, 2009. Eligible mem-
bers or their beneficiaries may submit
a claim to their respective military
service in order to receive the benefit
of $500 for each full or partial month
served in a Stop Loss status.
When RSLSP began on Oct. 21,
2009, the services estimated 145,000
service members, veterans and ben-
eficiaries were eligible for this benefit.
Because the majority of those eligible
had separated from the military, the
services have engaged in extensive and
persistent outreach efforts over the
past 18 months.
Outreach efforts including direct
mail and engaging military and vet-
eran service organizations, social net-
works and media outlets, will continue
through Oct. 21.
To apply, or for more information on
RSLSP, including submission require-
ments and service-specific links, go to

The following entries were ex-
cerpted from the police blotters
the previous week. These entries
may be incomplete and do not
imply guilt or innocence.
USAG Red Cloud
Larceny to Private Property:
Unknown person(s), by un-
known means, gained access to
Hovey Soccer Field and removed
Victim’s assault bag containing
a wallet, Military ID, State ID,
Social Security Card, room key,
identification tags, cell phone
and $300 which was unsecured
and unattended. Estimated cost
of loss is unknown. This is a final
report.

USAG Yongsan
Base Pass Violation: Subject
signed her sister on base to catch
the bus and departed without
her. Subject failed to maintain
positive control of her visitor
when she departed base. She fur-
ther stated she did not read the
base visitor policy rules. Subject
was issued a Violation of the base
Escort/Visitor Pass Policy Letter,
was processed and released to
her unit. This is a final report.

USAG Humphreys
Traffic Accident: Subject 1
was operating a private vehicle
failed to judge proper clearance
and struck Subject 2’s private
vehicle who was making an im-
proper turn. Subject 1 rendered
a written statement admitting
to the offense. Korean National
Police deferred jurisdiction due
to both parties being at fault and
agreeing to a private settlement
through insurance companies.
Estimated cost of damage is un-
known. This is a final report.
Cheonggye Berlin Square
Being one of the world’s only divided countries, Korea knows firsthand the pain of war and separation, and so the times call
for peaceful, prudent solutions. Germany was able to stand back up on its own after a devastating world war, and South Korea
was able to realize “the miracle on the Han River,’’ becoming the only country in the world to become an aid-giving nation from
an aid recipient. In terms of reunification, unlike the fall of the Berlin Wall, the elimination of the demarcation line here seems
an increasingly elusive one. A part of the Berlin Wall, shown here, can be found at the southern end of Cheonggye Stream’s
Jangtong Bridge. These concrete sections were installed in 2005 as a symbolic gesture wishing peace and reunification of the
Koreas. The area, called Berlin Square, also features a traditional German-style street lamp that was fashioned over a century
ago, as well as bear-shaped statues after the city’s representative animal. The piece of wall, measuring 3.5 meters high and
3 meters wide, at first seems like a contemporary art installation. The West German side of the wall is covered with graffiti
from the times praying for peace and reunification, while the East German part is empty, suggesting that access to the area
had been restricted. — U.S. Army photo by Pvt. Jeong Yee-taek.

USAG Daegu
Traffic Accident: Subject, op-
erating a private vehicle, while
following too close, struck Vic-
tim’s private vehicle. Korean Na-
tional Police responded and filed
a report. Both parties reported
utilization of their seat belts.
Osan Air Base
Underage Drinking: Sub-
ject was administered a random
portable breath test at the Main
Gate with a result of .022 percent
blood alcohol concentration. A
check of Subject’s ID card re-
vealed he was under the legal age
to consume alcoholic beverages.
Subject was transported to the
provost marshal’s office and ad-
vised of his legal rights. He was
then processed and released to
his unit. This is a final report.
Kunsan Air Base
Assault: Victim and Subject
were involved in a verbal alter-
cation in an off post establish-
ment. Subject harassed Victim,
slammed his plate into Victim’s
face and fled the scene. Victim
rendered a statement attesting to
the incident. Investigation con-
tinues by security forces.

Campaign Plan 3.0: Our guide
By Col. Kathleen A. Gavle
Daegu Garrison Commander
DAEGU GARRISON — It’s great to
be back in Daegu after my week in San
Antonio --I think we all returned with
renewed pride in and ambition for our
community. I joined several members
of the USAG Daegu team and lead-
ers from all corners of the Installation
Management Command enterprise for
the annual Installation Management
Symposium, hosted by the Association
of the U. S. Army (AUSA).
Why hold an IMCOM Symposium?
There are many reasons, not the least
of which is the chance for those of us
whose business is taking care of the
Army’s home and Families to meet face
to face and share ideas and successes
– to fine tune our ability to take care
of the Soldiers, Families, and Civilians
who make up our communities. The
symposium highlighted the direction
of IMCOM and its programs and put
that direction into the broader context
of the Army’s way ahead for the next
several years. The overarching theme
this year was Sustainability, and the
workshops addressed fiscal sustain-
ability; energy and environmental
sustainability; and human capital. The
speakers were impressive, and there
was no shortage of good ideas across
the force!
A key benefit of this particular
symposium was the simultaneous oc-
currence of three others, including
AUSA, FMWRC, and BOSS. We were
privileged to hear from several Army
leaders, and the variety of displays
and workshops provided opportuni-
ties to discuss a wide range of ideas
for building strong units, Families and
communities. Award presentations
all week proved the caliber of excel-
lence across the IMCOM work force.
Congratulations to the BOSS Soldiers

The Army Community Covenant is
a formal commitment of support by lo-
cal communities to Soldiers and their
Families and is designed to develop
and foster community partnerships
with the Army, working to improve
quality of life.

NEWS THE MORNING CALM
of IMCOM Korea for their special rec-
ognition!
One of the features of the IMCOM
Symposium was the rollout of version
3 of the IMCOM Campaign Plan. You
can take a look at the plan yourself
by visiting www.imcom.army.mil/hq/
about/campaign_plan/.
What makes the IMCOM Campaign
Plan important to you?
Put simply, the Campaign Plan is a
framework for building Army Commu-
nities of Excellence. Make no mistake
about it - U.S. Army Garrison Daegu
is one of those Communities of Excel-
lence. Can we get better? Sure we can,
and the Campaign Plan provides the
road map for continual improvement.
It begins with a “shared vision that will
focus our efforts and establish irrevers-
ible momentum to achieve the higher
levels of performance our Army de-
serves.”
It goes on to direct our energy across
six lines of effort that enable us to pro-
vide Soldiers, Civilians and Families
with a quality of life commensurate
with the quality of their service. You
may see a poster in many of our facili-
ties that highlights these lines of effort:
1. Soldier, Family and Civilian Readi-
ness; 2. Soldier, Family and Civilian
Well-being; 3. Leader and Workforce
Development; 4. Installation Readi-
ness; 5. Safety; and 6. Energy and Wa-
ter Efficiency and Security. Underpin-
ning all of these lines of effort are the
concepts of sustainability, resilience,
innovation, stewardship, partnership,
communication and safety.
My staff and I will continue to use
these lines of effort to shape our de-
livery of support and services to the
community, and we’ll use the tools
we gathered over the past week to do
things better. USAG Daegu is commit-
ted to putting excellence in action for
Area IV and to carrying our Commu-
nity of Excellence into the future as an
enduring hub for the Army in Korea.

phreys,” Kim said. “Let’s continue to
make efforts to be good neighbors to
each other, and to construct a happy
and beautiful Pyeongtaek City.”
Humphreys Garrison and the city
of Pyeongtaek have an unyielding rela-
tionship and the signing of the agree-
ment further solidifies that relation-
ship.
“The signing of this agreement this
afternoon also signifies an expansion
of the relationship between Camp
Humphreys and Pyeongtaek,” Sharp
said. “As this Garrison continues to
grow, USFK’s ties with the City will
also continue to strengthen.” x

Activities strengthen bond, friendships
among U.S., KATASA, Korean Soldiers
By Sgt. Mark A. Moore II
2nd Infantry Division Public Affairs
CAMP CASEY – The 2nd Infantry
Division’s annual Warrior Friendship
Week ended April 22 with an awards
ceremony at Camp Casey’s Hanson
Fitness Center.
Teams comprised of Korean
Augmentation to the U.S. Army and
U.S. Soldiers competed in basketball,
golf, wrestling, gimajeon or human
horseback riding, jokgu or volleyball
using the feet, tug-of-war, and relay
races.
Several Korean cultural events
and demonstrations were also held
on the final day.
Warrior Friendship Week provides
Soldiers with a unique opportunity
to strengthen the bonds between
U.S., Republic of Korea and KATUSA
Soldiers, one warrior said.
“When we compete as a team
we are able to strengthen our
friendships,” said Pfc. Tayla A. Luiz,
a combat medic with Headquarters
Support Company, Division Special
Troops Battalion, 2nd Infantry
Division on Camp Red Cloud.
“Knowing each other on a more
USAG-RC • PAGE 5

personal level makes us want to
help each other more when we work
together in our specific job fields.”
Friendship and strong bonds are
important in building team and unit
cohesion. However, understanding
the cultural differences between U.S.,
KATUSA and ROK Soldiers helps to
further strengthen these bonds, the
2nd Infantry Division commander
said.
“Warrior Friendship Week gives
Soldiers a better understanding of 2ID taekwondo team (above) and the Seoul Women’s University cheerleader team (below) perform
the cultural differences between us,” during Warrior Friendship Week at Camp Casey’s Hanson Field House April 22.
said Maj. Gen. Michael S. Tucker,
commanding general of the 2nd Inf.
Div. “KATUSA and ROK Soldiers
are like our brothers, we could not
complete our mission without them.”
“I like how were able to come
together today to participate in
Warrior Friendship Week,” said Pfc.
Daniel E. Wheeler, an infantryman
with A Company 1st Battalion, 72nd
Armor Regiment stationed at Camp
Casey.
“It brought American and
KATUSA Soldiers together as a team,
that’s the most important part. We
won today because we worked as a
team.” x

O – N. Colonization – the soon to be
first ever 8th grade spelling champion
from Casey Elementary School said
somewhat hesitantly as the pressure
mounted and she fought to overcome
competition jitters.
Champion Sydney Williams and the
other students began the competition
with a spelling bee-off in their
classrooms a week earlier to determine
the top participants before advancing
to the championship round in the
school library here April 20.
“The students had some time to
study for the bee in their off time
outside of class,” said Shelly Kennedy,
Casey Elementary School principal.
“They proved today that they are all
very intelligent and have great study
skills. The younger kids did so well that
we had to switch to the upper grade
level words for them.”
The participants all said they were a
little nervous, but had a good time and
enjoyed the competition.
“I felt like I was going to faint at first,”
said Sydney Williams, 14, daughter of
Staff Sgt. Ellis Williams, and the 8th
grade champion. “I had more fun than
I thought I was going to have, though.
I strived through it and it turned out to
be a great competition.

CAMP CASEY – Students from
Casey Elementary School and their
counterparts from a local Korean
school gathered in the Exchange
parking lot here April 21 to celebrate
Earth Day and learn about how they
can take an active role in preserving
the environment.
The Directorate of Public Works’
Environmental Division has been
organizing the event that includes a
poster contest for children from local
schools for 10 years.
“It is inspiring to see a lot of children
here learning how to appreciate
Mother Nature and our environment,”
said Everett Langford, Ph.D.,
Environmental Division director, to
the 40 students in attendance.
“I want to encourage you to stay
actively involved with environmental
protection; there were a lot of good
thoughts and initiatives with the
posters.”
Children from Casey Elementary
School and Kyungmin International
Christian School in Uijeongbu
participated in a poster contest. Their
work was on display in the Exchange
lobby the prior week and prizes were
awarded to the winners by Brent
Abare, U.S. Army Garrison Casey
deputy to the garrison commander.
“The purpose of ceremony today is
to recognize our children for bringing
about awareness of our stewardship
for our great planet earth,” Abare said.
“We should be aware to do all we
can to prevent pollution and take care
of our natural resources.”
THE MORNING CALM
I was really impressed with everybody’s
spelling ability. I totally thought I was
going to miss some of those words,
but I managed to spell them correctly
which shocked me.”
Williams was not only excited about
winning the competition but had
another prize in store.
“My mom promised me a new MP3
player if I won so I’m really looking
forward to that,” she said with a smile
on her face.
Other champions are Levi Kunnas,
kindergarten, Brice Williams, 1st
grade, Jasmine Shaw, 2nd grade,
Divina D’Haiti, 3rd grade, Heewon
Kang, 4th grade, Angela Root, 5th
grade, Kimberly Perry, 6th grade and
Morgan Lonergan, 7th grade.
Kennedy said that while the school
is new, the students are studying hard
and have the potential to do great
things.
“Everything we do at Casey
Elementary School is the first because
we are a brand new school, but when
kids come out to competitions and
events like these and show that they
work hard and are very intelligent, it
shows that the school has great things
to look forward to in the future,” she
said.

CAMP CASEY – Country music
recording artist Darryl Worley brought
his unique style and patriotic melodies
to entertain Area I Soldiers at the Carey
Fitness Center here April 22 as part of
Warrior Friendship Week.
A proud supporter of the military,
Worley has made more trips to Iraq
and Afghanistan than most Soldiers.
Since 2002, Worley has taken part in
more than 15 tours that entertained
troops who were deployed in support
of operations Iraqi Freedom and
Enduring Freedom.
Soldiers and their Families swayed
to romantic melodies, and sang along

with many of Worley’s hits, but this
was a military crowd. When Worley’s
band began the introduction to his
chart topping hit “Have You Forgotten,”
the crowd came to life.
As the band began to play, Worley
recalled that it was on his way home
from his first trip to Afghanistan in
2002 that he decided to write that
song. He then thanked the servicemen
and women for being his inspiration
and their service.
It was only a short time later that
Worley sang his latest military-
inspired hit, “Unsung Heroes,” which
was introduced last year during his
God and Country Tour.
“I had probably 200 different
individuals in the service approach me
in all different places, all over the world,
and everyone of them said the same
thing, ‘next time you’re inspired to
write something for the military, write
something about our families,” the
singer said. “Write something to lift up
the people at home that are just sitting
there waiting, and wondering, and
worrying, and they’re the real heroes.”
The single is available for free
download to all servicemen and
women at www.darrylworley.com.
After the band played a double
encore, Maj. Gen. Michael Tucker,
commanding general of the 2nd
Infantry Division, presented Worley
with a token of appreciation and his
commander’s coin for excellence.
Worley spent the next two hours
signing autographs and talking to

CAMP CASEY – The first Warrior
Country Invitational Strong Man /
Woman Competition was held at
Schoonover Bowl here April 23.
Participants challenged themselves
through six events: tire flips, farmer’s
walk (a 200-yard run with two 5-gallon
water jugs), atlas stone (lifting
dumbbells of increasing weight to
platforms), weighted rope pull, truck
push and medicine ball throw.
“We’ve taken events from the

“We don’t have some of the

and stones, we have water jugs and a

The event was open to all USFK

and dynamic,” Behr said. “These are
tasks that every Soldier completes
downrange. The stations were designed
to test the competitors’ physical and
mental endurance in a practical way.”
Entrants had to finish each station
and were judged on time and distance.
“I like to test the limits of my body,
and show my Soldiers that there’s
more to do in Korea than going out
to the ville,” said Kristoffer Sibbaluca,
a platoon leader assigned to Co. C,
1st Battalion, 72nd Armor Regiment.
“Fitness is a big thing for me and my
company. I came out here to represent
my unit by winning.”
Sibbaluca ended up taking first
place in the men’s division.
First place for the women’s division
went to Marvalee Decambre, a supply
noncommissioned officer assigned
to C Co., 302nd Brigade Support
Battalion.
The next DFMWR event is the Army

dying planet, not for people to say that
they have helped the world for one day.
But it doesn’t work that way. Basically,
Earth Day is every day.
I do admit that I used to not care that
much about the Earth. “Let somebody
else take care of the problem. I already
have enough to do,” I would think, or
“I’m not going to be around when pol-
lution destroys the world.” Then one
day I stopped thinking dumb. If every-
one thinks the way I did, the Earth will
never heal. So, by the time people fully
understand what’s going on, would it
be too late? Personally, I do hope no
one will ever know the answer to that

YONGSAN GARRISON — Per-
sonal Property Shipping and Pro-
cessing Offices experience their peak
movement season each year from May
through August.
During these months, there are as
many personal property shipments as
the rest of the year combined. As such,
customers are reminded to plan their
moves well in advance. Customers who
are within the 90 days of their Date Ex-
pected to Return from Overseas (or
DEROS) and still do not have reas-
signment instructions, should contact
their order-issuing authority as soon as
possible in order to expedite process-
ing and issuance of their orders.
Service members, retirees, and
DoD employees are advised to make
counseling appointments with Trans-
portation Offices (known as PPPO) in
their area immediately upon receipt of
PCS/Travel Orders. In order to obtain
desired packing and pick up dates,
customers should make counseling
appointments at least three weeks in
advance to alleviate conflicts that may
occur with desired packing and pick
up dates. When scheduling dates, cus-

U.S. Navy Sailors remember Cheonan tragedy

By Mass Communication
Specialist 1st Class Brianna K.
Dandridge Commander,
Naval Forces Korea Public Affairs
SEOUL — Sailors from Commander
Naval Forces Korea and Republic of Ko-
rea navies honored the Sailors lost on
ROK ship Cheonan (PCC-772) as part of
a memorial and bell ringing ceremony
April 20.
Cheonan sank March 26, 2010 tak-
ing the lives of 46 sailors onboard and
Warrant Officer Han Jun-ho who died
during subsequent rescue operations.
“We are here to honor and remember
their service to the sea,” said Rear Ad-
miral Pete Gumataotao, Commander
Naval Forces Korea. “As we in the United
States Navy will never forget the Sailors
of USS Cole and USS Stark, we will never
forget the Sailors of Cheonan.”
The ceremony began with a brief in-
vocation and speech by Republic of Ko-
rea Lt. Kim, Chong- wook, flag lieuten-
ant to Gumataotao.
Kim served aboard Cheonan as weap-
ons control officer in 2005 and expressed
condolences for the 46 sailors, who went
down with Cheonan. “I was in deep grief
before her shortly, tried to recollect the
past time I had spent with her, and bur-
ied those beautiful memories within my
heart forever,” said Kim.
Taps were played and two bells were
rung during the ceremony, to honor
each of the servicemen who lost their
lives while serving on Cheonan.
“Those who gave their self in service
of their country will never be forgotten,”
said Gumataotao.

Defense review considers budget cuts
By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Robert M.
Gates said the comprehensive defense review he
plans to launch soon will ensure any further defense
budget cuts are based on a well-thought-out analysis
of the consequences of decisions made.
“The worst of all possible worlds, in my view, is to
give the entire Department of Defense a haircut that
basically says ‘Everybody is going to cut ‘x’ percent,’”
Gates told reporters April 21 during a Pentagon news
briefing. “That is the way we got the ‘hollow’ military
in the 1970s and the 1990s.”
Gates said he does not know exactly how much
of the additional $400 billion that President Barack
Obama seeks to cut from national security program
budgets between now and 2023 will come from DOD.
The secretary said he’s gratified that Obama has
agreed to wait for the findings of a comprehensive
DOD review before making specific budgetary deci-
sions.
“I want to frame this so that options and conse-
quences and risks are taken into account as budget
decisions are made, first by the president, and then
by the Congress,” Gates said.
“What I hope to do is frame this in a way that says,
‘If you want to cut this number of dollars, here are
the consequences for force structure. Here are your
choices in terms of capabilities that will be reduced

Marine Corps Gen. James E. Cartwright, vice
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the review
will involve important strategic considerations about
quantities and capabilities.
Cartwright said the review could challenge some
long-held assumptions, such as the department’s
ability to fight two major theater conflicts simulta-
neously.
Some people believe that funding the Defense
Department at the rate of inflation for the next 12
years could identify much of the cost savings that
Obama seeks, Gates said.
However, he noted, that approach wouldn’t ac-
count for costs for health-care, fuel and critical big-
ticket investments. x

CAMP HUMPHREYS — The eggs
and candy went quickly, but the smiles
and laughter stayed a while during the
Eggstravaganza here April 23.
Hundreds of children took part in
the festivities at Zoeckler Field, be-
ginning with egg-gathering at 11 a.m.
Children excitedly snatched the 15,000
eggs, each filled with candy or a toy,
and stuffed them in the plastic bags
provided by the event sponsor, Family
and Morale, Welfare and Recreation.
For those under 6, the eggs were in
plain sight, but those in the 7-t0-10 age
group had to search for theirs.
In addition to the chocolates and
other candy, attendees were treated to
music, inflatables, free food, and visits
from the Easter Bunny and other over-
sized animals. x

of the more than 15,000 eggs, each of
which contained candy or other prize.—

Meanwhile, a couple of blocks down the road, Spc.
Mary Mott could not fall asleep. She was excited but
also anxious. It was a mixture of emotions all rolled
into one.
As the team leader for the Antenna Mast Group
under the Fire Direction Section, Mott was responsi-
ble for training new Soldiers on the team. It was only
a couple months before that Mott herself was con-
sidered the new Soldier, but Mott matured quickly
and earned a team leader spot.

Mott’s arrival in Korea, and she enrolled in the Army
Incentive Program to stay one more year here.
The 24 year-old Appalachian State University
graduate had a sound training plan for her Soldiers.
“The training took months … and it took place in
three phases,” Mott explained. “I first had the new
crew study the technical manuals, and then I have
them observe the experienced crews conducting
their drills, and finally I have them execute drills
themselves under my close supervision. It was a good
training plan and I knew my crews were ready.”
In a few hours, she will get the chance to prove
she is right.
As that time approaches, Pfc. Davey Martin is
looking up at the ceiling of his room. He, too, was
feeling anxious about the evaluation.
It has been only six months since he first saw the
imposing Iron Horse Statue outside of the battalion
headquarters.
He thought “time really flew by when you have so
much to learn in such a short amount of time.”

ACS can help with credit report access

By Barbara Brown
Army Community Service
CAMP HUMPHREYS — Anyone
needing help obtaining their credit re-
ports and scores can contact the Army
Community Service Financial Readi-
ness Program at 753-6522, or stop by
Building 1127.
A credit report is information about
a person’s financial history. A credit
score is a number that is calculated
based on all of the information in a
credit report. The report can include
auto loans, mortgages, credit cards,
student loans, collections, judgments,
liens and bankruptcies. The score is
like a grade that tells financial compa-
nies how risky it would be for them to
loan money.
Credit reports are compiled by
three major companies: Equifax, Ex-
perian and TransUnion. The company
that calculates credit scores is usually
Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO), whose
web site is myficoscore.com. Lenders
will purchase credit reports and FICO
scores to help them make decisions
about extending credit.
The five primary factors that im-
pact a credit score are: delinquent
payments; the amount of available
credit a person has; the length of the
person’s credit history; the number of
times someone has applied for credit;
and outstanding credit. A credit score
fluctuates depending on the informa-
tion available when the report is ac-
cessed.
If denying credit, the lender must
provide the person who applied a copy
of the report and score they used to
make their decision. Persons can get
a free copy of their credit report every
year from each of the three major com-
panies at annualcreditreport.com
Creditors are not required to report
to all three bureaus, meaning these re-
ports may vary in content, so it is ad-
visable to examine each one.
If there are errors, they can be dis-
puted. Provide a clear explanation of
the issue and include any supporting
documents. Be sure to keep copies of
all correspondence, as well as the date
it was sent. When issue is resolved, the
bureau will update the report and no-
tify the person of the change. If unable
to resolve a discrepancy, file a state-
ment under 100 words with the bureau
explaining the dispute. This statement
will be included in credit reports for as
long as the item in question remains
on the report. x

6-52 ADA from Page 21
The 20-years old communication specialist never
learned about the Information Coordination Central
(ICC, the equipment he is currently assigned to) dur-
ing Advanced Individual Training at Fort Gordon,
Ga.
“Since I got to the unit, I was able to learn how to
operate every single radio inside the ICC and every-
thing else I need to learn communication-wise to get
us through the air battles,” said Martin, who is as-
signed to the first crew under the Fire Direction Sec-
tion. “Thankfully I had a wonderful group of leaders
and first line supervisors in FDS that really cared for
me and ensured I am trained well.”
All the sweat and effort will pay off when they
become certified in the next few hours, Martin con-
stantly reminded himself. He forced himself not to
think otherwise.
PATRIOT Gunnery Table VIII evaluation is an ex-
tremely important event for an air defense artillery
unit. It poses grueling physical and mental challeng-
es to all air defense Soldiers. The first portion of the
evaluation consists of an inspection of equipment
mission capability and maintenance paperwork.
Evaluators examine equipment and supporting doc-
uments meticulously. Many units fail the evaluation
within the first half hour of the inspection.
The second part of the evaluation is the simula-
tion of wartime situation where the battalion Fire
Direction Section, receives a movement order and
road marches and places all its equipment onto an-
other location and then quickly assumes posture to
conduct and manage air battles against hostile aerial
threats. This portion of the process is timed.
“Before you could attempt a Gunnery Table VIII
evaluation, the individual within the team must first
be able to accomplish all the tasks under Gunnery
Tables I through VI,” Tristan said. “Table VIII is really
the culmination of all these tasks.”
“We trained hard and put in a lot of efforts to pre-
pare for the Table VIII evaluations,” Mott added.
The Battalion Fire Direction Section, as the higher
echelon unit above firing batteries, must face anoth-
er challenge.
“The hardest part is really the coordination … for
the FDS to successfully pass its certification, it relies
on our subordinate firing units to do their part and
provide us with timely support,” Tristan said. “This is
a criteria that is unique to the FDS.”
Fast forward to the next afternoon, where the FDS
team is about to find out whether their hard work
and efforts have paid off.
As the dust settles and the FDS vehicles are finally
placed on their new location and ready to defend the
South Korea airspace, all there is left to do for the
team is to wait for the results.
“Time always seem to pass slower during waiting
time after evaluation,” Mott said.
Finally, the evaluators came out and smiled.
“You could hear on the headset the cheering of
Bates and his crew inside the ICC,” Tristan said.
Mott celebrated by giving her crew members
high-fives.
“We put our best foot forward and we succeeded,”
she told them.
As Bates and his crew came out of the ICC, Tristan
greeted them with a big handshake and words of
congratulation.
“We can celebrate now but the battle is not over,”
Tristan reminded everyone. “Remember that even
though the FDS has passed today, our brothers in
communication relay group and other firing batter-
ies will be conducting their table VIII next week.”
“Let’s do everything we can in our power to sup-
port them.” Bates added. “In the air defense world,

Lifeguard training key to summer fun at the pool

USAG Public Affairs
DAEGU GARRISON — With the feel
of summer fast approaching, many are
already thinking of ways to beat the
heat. Among the first thing that comes
to mind is a trip to the beach or a nice,
cool and inviting pool. Friends are
checking their schedules and making
plans. Even shopping malls are getting
into the swing of things displaying
swimsuits for every shape and size.
Like many other locations, U.S.
Army Garrison Daegu’s Camp Walker
is preparing for some summer fun,
holding lifeguard training for 20
candidates April 11 at Kelly Gym.
According to Douglas S. Timpson,
Senior Station Manager of American
Red Cross Korea Region, the training
was designed to cover a number of core
lifesaving measures. He said, “The
significance of the Lifeguard Training
is the ‘safety’. Obviously, Soldiers and
Family members need to be swimming
in a safe environment. They need to
feel comfortable in knowing that in an
emergency situation they can be taken
care of. It is required by regulation
that we have trained lifeguards on
duty. It’s also a responsible action by
commands to have trained lifeguards
on duty.”
Training for the lifeguard candidates
included specific training techniques
such as: victim recognition, scanning
and observation, positioning and
rotation, and performing CPR. In
addition, the candidates learned
safety maneuvers involving saving
drowning victims, as well as how
to react to respirator and cardiac
emergency situations.
Timpson said all lifeguards are
trained under those requirements
stipulated by the American Red Cross.
“These are very critical techniques
for our candidates. The team concept
is very much a part of the training.
It helps that they act as a team as
they react to emergency situations.
Upon successful completion of the
final test, they will have adhered

Fall Back Plan band raises the roof at the Hilltop Club
Fall Back Plan band put on a hot and enthusiastic two-hour concert Apr. 13 Apr. at the Hilltop Club on Camp Walker, leaving
the USAG Daegu and Area IV community with fond memories and craving for more. The tour to the Land of the Morning
Calm was just one of many quality-of-life initiatives made possible through Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR).
Donice Cully, vocalist with Fall Back Plan, said of the band’s intent, “We want to send a message of embracing your power,
and your own accomplishments. We do that in the song ‘Dance in the Reign’. It’s pretty much about being proud of yourself.”
The Area IV community showed their support for the band with screams of approval, dancing and singing along with one of the
hottest high energy bands to visit the peninsula. — U.S. Army photo by Lee Seung-bin

American Eatery on Camp Henry offer visitors a touch of home

DAEGU GARRISON — A famous
designer once said, “Eating is not
merely a material pleasure. Eating
well gives a spectacular joy to life and
contributes immensely to goodwill and
happy companionship. It is of great
importance to the morale.” On Camp

Eatery seem have taken to heart the
latter part of this quote. Monday

referred, serves up a sandwich or a dish
that puts the “d” in “delicious.”

an early morning routine for several
