Army listens to community concerns about potential force reductions

By Tanja Linton Media Relations Officer

The Department of the Army is reaching out to gather community-unique considerations to support the Army making the best decisions to realign its force structure to 490k to achieve the fiscal reductions required by the Budget Control Act of 2011, while mitigating - to the extent possible - impacts to local communities. This is not sequestration.

Local residents can provide their comments during a listening session 10 a.m. - noon, today at Murr Community Center here.

With an Active Component reduction of 80,000 Soldiers (from 570,000 Soldiers to 490,000 by the end of fiscal year 2017) many installations will be impacted.

Reductions are required to address the need to reduce Army expenditures while reconfiguring the force to support the Army mission.

The Army is evaluating the impact of end-strength reductions and potential realignments on communities surrounding military installations. The Army must ensure it can field and sustain a force of sufficient size, capability and configuration to meet the nation’s current and projected future security and defense requirements.

The Army is conducting Community Listening Sessions in April at up to 30 installations with significant military and civilian populations to collect and consider additional community input in Army decision making; inform relevant audiences of future Army force realignments to ensure single voice communication within the Army; and to communicate the processes the Army is using to make the best decisions to execute the directive to reduce the Army’s end strength. Fort Huachuca is one of those 30 installations.

No decisions about future Army force alignments have not been made at this time.

CSLA training center uses adapter, saves money, time, lives Story by Maranda Flynn Staff Writer

In 2012, Don Meyer, an instructor with the Communications Security Logistics Activity, or CSLA, New Equipment Training team here, created a solution that simplified their In-Line Network Encryptor, or INE, KG-175D training course with a short-term savings to the Army of more than $25,000.

Previous to his solution, each student in the course was required to have two laptop computers to handled red or black operations, due to the lack of multiple Ethernet ports on each. Meyer connected a Universal Serial Bus, or USB, switch to the computers, allowing the Ethernet connection to be made using a USB port.

Introducing this solution alleviated the need for two computers per student, reducing the expenses involved in purchasing and maintaining the hardware, as well as shipping the computers to offsite training locations. Twice as many students can now be trained, minimizing travel costs for multiple trips.

He had mentioned the idea over a year ago, but the proposal requirements

were intense and the time was not available. Eventually, Meyer was instructed to move forward with the idea. With paperwork assistance from a coworker, Guy Cook, Meyer submitted the proposal and it was accepted.

When asked how he felt about his contribution, Meyer said that his main concern was training more personnel effectively, and ensuring they understand the equipment. Incorporating this solution can prevent them from having to move from their physical location, they can just send their information over the network.

Meyer retired from the Army after 22 years as an equipment installer. Prior to becoming an instructor at Fort Huachuca in 2009, Meyer spent two years in Iraq training U.S. Marines on modern equipment for use in the field.

This minor adjustment has proved to be an invaluable solution for the CSLA New Equipment Training team, but it has not yet been approved for use in theater.

USAICoE achieves excellence through collaboration New multimedia center offers an integrated approach to developing instruction

By Regina S. Albrecht Learning Innovation Office, USAICoE

A merger of funding, knowledge and innovation will soon equate to big savings for the U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence which is weeks away from opening its stateof-the-art collaboration laboratory.

With the multipurpose facility, USAICoE organizations will have access to instructional design exper-

tise, the most cutting edge software and development tools and knowledge as well as freedom to develop courseware in a closed network.

“The ‘COLAB’ as we call it, provides a critical facilitation capability where our designers, developers and instructors can work as a team or separately to create effective learning outcomes,” stated Col. Jeff Jennings, deputy commander for trainSee USAICoE, page 3A

Scout speaks!

Fort hosts annual Holocaust observance National Days of Remembrance April 7-14 Never Again: Heeding the Warning Signs The Days of Remembrance are a time to remember the victims and the survivors of the Holocaust and reflect on the meaning of the great sacrifices of all those innocent lives lost to hatred and ignorance. We remember as a way to acknowledge the courage of those who rose up against tyranny. We remember as a way to teach all generations to heed the warning signs and to never again commit mistakes that cause such deep human tragedy. We remember the atrocities of the past because those are the devastating moments in history that leave us forever changed.

Out of the chaos of the Holocaust comes an important lesson on the power of individual and collective actions.

As individuals, we know well that strong and decisive action has the power to create positive outcomes in the face of the most challenging circumstances. By working together, we empower, support and help each other become more resilient. Our individual and collective resilience is what makes us strong and ready as a global force for freedom.

Remembering can be difficult, but it reaffirms our commitment to rejecting all forms of prejudice, bigotry, and hatred in our Army. During this year’s Days of Remembrance, as we mourn those who were lost, salute the liberators who saved lives and honor the survivors of the Holocaust, we urge you to demonstrate respect for all people and to encourage the same from those around you.

Together we are the Strength of the Nation.

Raymond F. Chandler III Sergeant Major of the Army

Raymond T. Odiemo General, United States Army Chief of Staff

John M. McHugh Secretary of the Army

The Military Equal Opportunity Office in conjunction with the U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence invites the public to participate in a Days of Remembrance observance at 1 p.m. Tuesday in Fitch Auditorium here.

Dr. Samuel Caron, a psychologist at the Raymond W. Bliss Army Health Center, will address this year’s theme, “Never Again: Heeding the Warning Signs.”

This year’s theme is a challenge to think about what might motivate people to respond to warning signs of genocide today.

“Memory is what shapes us. Memory is what teaches us. We must understand that’s where our redemption is,” says Holocaust survivor Estelle Laughlin. History teaches that genocide can be prevented if people care to act. The response to hatred does matter and together communities can fulfill the promise of “Never Again.”

Congress established the Days of Remembrance in 1980 as the nation’s annual commemoration of the Holocaust. This year, Days of Remembrance are observed April 7-14.

August Selective Early Retirement Board could affect 1,200 field grade officers

By C. Todd Lopez Army News Service

WASHINGTON -- In August, the Army will convene a Selective Early Retirement Board for lieutenant colonels and colonels. The move is just one part of a larger Army effort to meet its congressionally mandated end strength reduction.

Currently, about 500 colonels and 700 lieutenant colonels in the Army Competitive Category meet the criteria for the Selective Early Retirement Board, or SERB. While the board may select up to 30 percent of those officers for early retirement, it’s expected many officers may opt instead to apply for voluntary retirement.

Those who meet the criteria for the August SERB include active duty colonels in the Army Competitive Category who have been a colonel for more than five years; and lieutenant colonels who have been at least twice non-selected for promotion to colonel.

While the SERB is necessary to both reduce the size of the Army and appropriately shape the officer force for the future, it is a difficult action for the Army to take, said Lt. Gen. Howard B. Bromberg, Army G-1.

“It’s hard to do, because we’re doing it to people who have supported us tremendously with great hon-

or and service to the nation and service to the Army over the last 12 years while we have been engaged in the fight,” Bromberg said.

Bromberg said the SERB is not just about force reduction, it’s also about force shaping and about ensuring opportunities for other officers to move up in rank.

“What we have seen in the last ten years or so is that the average officer is staying about 10 percent longer than the norm,” Bromberg said, saying that colonels that might have retired 25-26 years, a decade ago are now staying for 28 or 29 years in service.

“It’s just because they want to serve, which is very commendable. But unfortunately, in order to shape the Army, we are going to have to bring that down.”

For the Army to meet the mandated end strength goal of 490,000 Soldiers by fiscal year 2017, it must start making cuts now, Bromberg said.

The SERB will meet on or about Aug. 13, 2013.

When the results of that board are approved by the secretary of the Army, which is expected to happen in early January 2014, those officers selected will have no more than seven months before they must retire. It’s expected the retirement date for officers selected by the 2013 SERB will be no later than August 1, 2014.

Officers who know they meet the criteria for the SERB, but who choose to volunteer to retire instead of

face the SERB, can benefit from an extended advancetime for submitting retirement paperwork. Typically, an officer can put in retirement paperwork a year in advance. Bromberg said that has been extended.

An officer could put in retirement paperwork in June, for instance, before the August SERB, and plan his retirement date for September 2014. Officers who choose to voluntarily retire must have their requests in to Human Resources Command no later than July 8, 2013.

USAICoE achieves excellence ...

From USAICoE, page 1A ing, USAICoE. “It offers not only cutting-edge technology, but also an environment where our educators can envision a desired learning outcome and with onsite expertise, can realize that vision,” he added.

The new facility is located in Room 1090 of Riley Barracks, adjacent to USAICoE’s Learning Innovation Office.

LIO, the school’s in-house capability to develop and maintain courseware, will provide technical support to organizations using the lab.

“This investment proves once again ICoE believes in the general tenets of the Army Learning Model and is taking another step toward transformation of the schoolhouse,” stated Leanne Rutherford, LIO director.

“With the command’s commitment to an adaptive learning model, we will continue to lead the way for innovative training and education of MI (military intelligence) Soldiers,” she added.

Rutherford offered some insight into how the idea for the COLAB was initially generated.

“Last year, LIO identified the requirement for additional space to conduct alpha and beta testing and develop on a classified network (secure internet protocol router network),” she said. “This spawned the idea of establishing a facility to support all organizations’ needs to design, build and test highly interactive

and educationally sound products in a collaborative, secure work environment.”

Crawford Scott, information technology architect for LIO, explained how the centralized development area will offer USAICoE a more cost-effective alternative for meeting ALM requirements.

“Organizations and courses do not require daily, local access to software and development tools,” he said. “Consolidating the equipment, software and expertise to a single location will ultimately save USAICoE a lot of money.”

According to Scott, the lab will also fully support a tiger-team approach to development for rapid production of training products.

“The COLAB is further evolving the school’s capability to develop and deliver interactive multimedia instruction to the new millennium Soldier in a timely manner,” Scott said. “It is a perfect catalyst for successful implementation of ALM.” Scott jointly designed and built the lab with Matt Covel, G6 projects manager.

USAICoE’s new multipurpose facility consists of a test and development room, audio booth and video recording studio.

The lab’s test and development room is designed to facilitate collaboration for small and large groups.

Scott provided a technical overview of the new area.

Considered the heart of the facility, he said the center features a 10 ft. diameter round table with a Crestron panel that controls the entire room.

“The table is equipped with both nonsecure internet protocol router access and LIO closed network capabilities,” Scott said. “Networks can be accessed via ports that are built into the table.”

Two grouping of six desks or pods are located on the left side of the table.

Each desk is equipped with three computers connected to available networks (NIPR, SIPR and LIO development).

“Monitors are attached to desks with adjustable arms that allow users to stow displays not in use,” he said. “For collaboration purposes, one large monitor is mounted to the wall at the end of each pod.”

Scott explained that an additional pod and media:scape collaboration table is located to the right of the main table.

“The media:scape station comprises four laptop computer ports that enable users to work together and share ideas through two 24-inch monitors mounted at the foot of the table,” he said.

The COLAB is equipped with various types of software and game and web development tools. Among them are Adobe Creative Suite 6.0 and Captivate 6.0, Unity Game Development Kit and Microsoft Visual Studio 10.

Although much attention is being given to the test and development room

and its collaborative features, Scott stated the facility’s audio booth and video recording studio are equally impressive.

The audio booth comprises a soundproof isolation area as well as professional grade recording and editing equipment. A window and intercom system facilitate communication between the audio and video recording areas.

The video recording studio features soundproofing on the inner walls and a green screen background. It is also equipped with portable recording equipment that can be easily moved from the studio to the field.

Scott stated users may submit requests for services to LIO for audio and visual products.

“At this time, we’re not giving access to the audio booth and video recording studio,” he said. “Both have specialized equipment that require extensive training for use.”

While the audio and visual areas are staffed with a full-time developer, the collaboration room is not.

Scott stated the lab’s close proximity to the LIO instructional design and development teams will be beneficial as organizations and courses begin to collaborate and develop.

“We will be available if users require technical assistance,” he said.

To arrange use of the new facility, access USAICoE’s G3 scheduling system.

CSM Rambert assumes responsibility of 11th Signal Brigade

By Maj. Jennifer R. Butler 11th Signal Brigade PAO

Command Sgt. Maj. Maurice A. Rambert assumed responsibility as the 11th Signal Brigade command sergeant major Friday during a ceremony on historic Brown Parade Field at 10 a.m.

Rambert, replaced Command Sgt. Maj. Earl B. Allen, who was selected as the next command sergeant major of Network Enterprise Technology Command.

Rambert was most recently assigned as the command sergeant major of the 41st Signal Battalion in Yongsan, Korea.

After the traditional passing of the sword, Col. Patrick Dedham, commander, 11th Signal Brigade, welcomed Rambert to the brigade as he said good-bye to Allen, wishing him well in his next assignment.

The transfer of the noncommissioned officer sword symbolizes the passing of responsibility of the brigade from Allen to Rambert. The sword represents the “cutting edge” of professionalism and the “living spirit” of the organization. Sgt. Maj. Ronald G. Samia, 11th Signal Brigade operations sergeant major and commander of troops for the April 5 ceremony, passed the sword to Allen. Allen then passed it to Dedham, who in turn passed the sword to Rambert.

Rambert then removed the sword from its sheath to inspect the sword before re-sheathing the sword and passing it back to Samia. This completed the cycle, and Rambert officially assumed responsibility of the Soldiers of the 11th Signal Brigade.

“Col. Dedham I look forward to serving with you, to uphold your policies, goals and vision for the mighty Thunderbirds,” said Rambert. “Ladies and gentlemen, standing before you are Soldiers of the Army’s most prestigious signal brigade the Thunderbirds.”

Before the ceremony was complete, Allen shared some final thoughts on his time with the 11th Signal Brigade and how they will always be dear to his heart.

“To the leaders and Soldiers, let there be no mistake,” said Allen. “I love the 11th Signal Brigade and I am proud to have been your sergeant major during a critical time in our Army’s history.”

Military Intelligence – this week in history USAICS breaks ground for new academic facility

By Ruth Quinn, Staff Historian USAICoE Command History Office

April 9, 1979 When the first shovel broke the ground on April, 9 1979 for the construction project that would eventually become the headquarters of the U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence, it was the realization of a request that was submitted eight years earlier in October 1972.

In 1971, the U.S. Army Intelligence Center and School, or USAICS, and the Combat Development Command Intelligence Command were moved from Fort Holabird, Md., to Fort Huachuca, Ariz.

That move increased the Fort Huachuca population by almost 3,000. Students were attending school in wooden buildings that were left over from the World War II era when the post was a training base for the 92nd and 93rd Infantry Buffalo Soldiers. New facilities were badly needed if USAICS was going to transition successfully into the future.

Brig. Gen. Albert Stubblebine, commander of USAICS, and Brig. Gen. Kenneth Symmes, deputy commander of U.S. Army Communications Command, participated in the ground-breaking. As initially outlined, the new facility would accommodate an average daily load of 1,200 students and staff and faculty of

833. A solar collector field covering 25,000 square feet was designed and built to funnel the sun’s power for heating and cooling of the buildings by utilizing an absorption cold generator.

The first 3 buildings were dedicated Jan. 14, 1981 comprising a total of 16 classrooms to accommodate 757 students. The Student Support Center became Alvarado Hall, named for Lorenzo Alvarado, a master sergeant in World War I who was responsible for uncovering and defeating German espionage and sabotage activities. He then served as an intelligence agent in the Philippines during World War II. The first tenants were the Staff and Faculty Training Division along with the Training Branch and the Library. Sisler Hall, which housed the Advanced Officers’ Course, was named for George K. Sisler, a first lieutenant who was killed in action during a fierce firefight in Vietnam and who was the first military intelligence officer to receive the Medal of Honor. Walker Hall was named for Capt. John D. Walker, who commanded Company C, First Arizona Volunteer Infantry, during the 1865-66 Apache campaigns. This building was initially used for the MI Officer Basic Course, Tactical Intelligence Officer Course, Warrant Officer Career Courses, NCO Career Courses, and select enlisted courses.

EFMP Respite Care provides support ACS release

Caring for a Family member with special needs, especially severe chronic medical conditions, is an around-the-clock job. There may be no end to a caregiver’s love, but everyone who shoulders such responsibilities needs a break to rest and recharge.

EFMP respite care provides that break. Qualifying Families are eligible for up to 40 hours of respite care a month for each for enrolled Exceptional Family Members depending on the specific needs of that EFM. “Taking care of an individual with special needs is often a 24hour job, and respite care allows the primary care giver some time to take care of their own needs, as well as recharge their batteries,” explained Audrey Peterson-

Hosto, Exceptional Family Member Program manager, adding that “respite care is flexible in the fact it may be provided inside or outside of the home.”

“In the recent past there was a waiting list for those requesting Respite Care Services,” said Peterson-Hosto.

“However, over the last couple of months we have had several respite care recipients PCS to other installations, and currently we do not have a waiting list.”

Army life poses challenges for any Family, but especially for Families with special needs. “It is part of our job, our commitment to the Army Family Covenant, to make sure we are delivering the right services in the right way to support the health and well-being of all Family members,” she said.

Peterson-Hosto is available at Army Community

Service to provide more detailed information to Families. Soldiers or Family members who have questions can call Peterson-Hosto at 533-6871, and also visit the EFMP web page at http://huachuca-www.army.mil/ pages/acs/efmp.html.

Unmanned aerial system Soldiers in Kuwait train to keep ‘eye in the sky’ Story & photos by Spc. Andrew Ingram 1st BCT, 4th Inf. Div.

CAMP BUEHRING, Kuwait – “Taking off is a choice, landing never is.”

This is the message Chief Warrant Officer 2 Dustin Hisel, Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle operations officer, Company A, 1st Special Troops Battalion, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, drills into his unmanned aerial system, or UAS, operators and maintainers daily.

“With any aviation operations attention to detail is crucial,” Hisel said. “If you miss one step in a checklist you’re looking at a potential loss of a ‘bird,’ and possibly a loss of life.”

At Camp Buehring, the UAS Soldiers can fly and maintain the Shadows constantly, honing their skills in preparation for any mission the brigade requires of them, said Hisel.

“I’m a firm believer that flights in support of real-time combat missions are the best training for a [UAS] team,” he said. “The downside is that an inexperienced crew can make a mistake and fail to get Soldiers on the ground the information they need. This deployment is a great opportunity for some of my lessexperienced Soldiers to get that experience without the stakes being so high, because we are here to on a partnership mission versus a combat operation.”

UAS Soldiers deploy Shadows to facilitate numerous roles during operations, from long-range reconnaissance, to targeting enemy forces for air or artillery strikes.

Pfc. Alfred Townsend, UAS maintainer with Company A, said he relishes the chance to work with the Shadow and improve his expertise on its systems on a daily basis.

“Coming out here six days a week, touching a ‘bird’ every day, gives us an amount of experience we can’t match at Fort Carson (Colo.),” Townsend said. “We encounter new problems every day, and we find new ways to solve them. We can’t gain that experience from reading a book or a manual; experience has to be gained by doing.”

The UAS platoon’s current training regimen consists of preparing the Shadow for flight, launching it, maintaining a flight pattern and landing safely.

Hisel said their training program will expand into more complex operations as his Soldiers continue to sharpen their skills.

“Back at Fort Carson we would spend two weeks to a month in the field training, and we may spend half that time getting into a good rhythm,” said Spc. John Szymanski, UAS operator with Company A. “Here at Camp Buehring, we spent the past couple weeks working out all the bugs, and learning local flight procedures. That means we can spend the rest of our time here flying, training and preparing for whatever mission our command passes down to us.”

While flight preparation time varies depending on a flight crew’s experience, Szymanski said a well-trained team can prepare one Shadow while another flies to facilitate continuous

Staff Sgt. John Oehlerking and Spc. John Vance, unmanned aerial system mechanics with Company A, 1st Special Troops Battalion, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, perform pre-flight maintenance checks on an RQ-7B Shadow 200 UAS, at Camp Buehring, Kuwait.

UAS operations.

“Not all of us are at that level yet, but we have some very experienced veterans in this platoon who are squaring us away,” he said.

Hisel said he looks forward to enhancing his Soldiers’ knowledge, skills and proficiency during the platoon’s time at Camp Buehring.

“I expect excellence out of these Soldiers every minute of every day,

and I don’t think I could have asked for a better group of people,” Hisel said.

“Some of these guys are pretty junior, but we have enough experience to train this platoon to an extremely high standard. I think we have the potential to be the best UAS platoon in the Army.”

The UAS Soldiers of Company A will continue training with the Shadow and perfecting their skills throughout the “Raider” Brigade’s deployment.

Spc. John Vance unmanned aerial system mechanic, and UAS operators Spc. Luke North and Spc. Adam Carpio, all assigned to Company A, 1st Special Troops Battalion, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, mount an RQ-7B Shadow 200 UAS onto its launcher prior to a training mission at Camp Buehring, Kuwait.

An RQ-7B Shadow 200 Unmanned Aerial System, flown by UAS operators assigned to Company A, 1st Special Troops Battalion, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, lands safely after a training mission at Camp Buehring, Kuwait. At Camp Buehring the UAS Soldiers can fly and maintain the Shadows constantly, honing their skills in preparation for any mission the brigade requires of them.

Military From the desk of...

By Erin Schnitger School Liaison Officer

Child, Youth and School Services will host the annual Month of the Military Child Celebration from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Thunder Mountain Activity Center.

Army-wide, April is the “Month of the Military Child” and all military children are spotlighted and honored for the challenges they endure in order for their parents to serve our country. Military children are “Proud, Ready, and Resilient,” which is the theme for this year’s event. Through transition, deployments and times of adversity, military children work hard to maintain normalcy and strive for success.

Saturday’s event is free and includes activities, games, displays and a BBQ-style lunch. Fort Huachuca’s CYS Services will be providing craft projects, jewelry making and other activities that will allow children to use their creativity and imagination.

Throughout the day, there will be dance performances, piano recitals, and gymnastics and martial arts demonstrations from a number of our SKIESUnlimited Classes. A big hit that will be returning from last yearthe Bubble Gum Bubble Blowing Contest.

Barney’s Backyard Barnyard will be providing a petting zoo where children can feed and pet bunnies, pigs, a calf, and other farm animals, as well as horses from our Buffalo Corral. Outdoor activities like paintball and mountain biking will be provided by FMWR Rents. Appearances will also be made by the Amazing Spiderman and Captain America. There will be informational tables staffed by organizations such as First Things First, Navy Federal Credit Union, USAA and Grand Canyon University.

Representatives from Fort Huachuca’s Emergency Services will be present to teach children about safety and demonstrate the various equipment they use and the canine handlers from the 483rd Military Work Dog Detachment will be demonstrating their dogs’ skills.

The 111th Military Intelligence Battalion and the 11th Signal Battalion will have static displays outside TMAC to provide children with an idea of the equipment used by the Soldiers. These static displays offer insight into what equipment is used to facilitate communication and keep Soldiers safe in hazardous environments.

Finally, six bikes and helmets will be given away as door prizes during this event. The drawing will be held after lunch and you must be present to win.

Paying tribute to our Military Children Story by Maranda Flynn Staff Writer

For decades, the armed forces have called on people to serve this great nation, and throughout that time, their children have served right alongside them.

In honor of their courage and support, then-Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger designated each April

as the Month of the Military Child in 1986.

Before Weinberger’s proclamation however, it was assumed that these children were no different than any other civilian child.

To someone unfamiliar with the military life style, the contribution that these children provide to their parents can easily go unnoticed. Still, frequent moves, new schools, rotating friendships and family

While the term “military brat” may seem de some, many embrace the term, seeing it as a term ment and respect. As a child of a Soldier, the Traveler” was used in literature dating back t modern acronym for today’s military brat is Born Trained.

separations and reintegrations throughout deployments often result in challenges that most civilian children would never experience.

It is these challenges that set military children apart from the rest. Along with their typical childlike activities, many of them have had to put on a “game face” for a sibling, reassure their parents that all is well when it may not be, take on extra household responsibilities or maintain high spirits during holidays or birthdays without a parent.

elling around Frankfurt, Germany with his family in a Volkswagen van painted like an American flag. Throughout his nine relocations as a military dependant, McFarland experienced things that many civilian children would never know to dream about.

“When you grow up as a military brat, there are a couple things that you pick up on ... you appreciate travel, you appreciate some of the structure that comes with living on a base, and you are exposed to people that, by their very nature, are patriotic and disciplined, with that desire to serve,” he said.

Throughout his military life, both as a dependant and now, McFarland said that he has noticed a common trait. “[Military children] either jump head first into the military lifestyle as they grow or they want nothing to do with it. I have two boys. My youngest has already declared that he is going to go in. He wants to be in military intelligence. The other one, not so much,” he said.

Command Sgt. Maj. Roger Daigle, garrison command sergeant major, also grew up with a significant military presence. At 19, he joined the Army himself, following in his father’s footsteps, who served for a total of 37 years. Daigle has been on active duty for 25 years and said that he plans to retire in the next few years.

Daigle explained that his father had a huge impact on his decision to enlist. “When my dad was National Guard, I en-

joyed seeing the Army trucks and stuff like that,” he said.

“As I grew older and we moved around, and we were at different installations, it grew on me more that I wanted to be in the Army.”

Over the years, there have been many changes that have bettered the life of a military child: post housing has been modernized and now accommodates larger Families; a large variety of emotional and physical support is readily available for dependants, such as counseling, youth programs and child care services; the medical care for Families has increased in quality and availability and technology advancements now allow children to hear their parent’s voice, providing a sense of security while they are apart.

“There is a huge difference for the kids from my experience growing up as a military dependant. The Army cares a lot more for the children now,” Daigle said. “There were always youth services, sports programs and activities like that, but now the Army does so much more for our [Families].”

The experiences that military brats encounter are immeasurable. They get to live history. They learn to adapt, build resiliency and take chances. Growing up in a military community can be challenging, but over and over, they grow up to be successful, worldly and educated.

Whether they go on to join the military or not, these “brats” certainly carry with them a sense of self that can only be learned within this unique way of life.

news/briefs Correction to allergy article The article featuring the Raymond W. Bliss Army Health Center Allergy Clinic on Page 6A of the April 5 Scout was incorrect. The RWBAHC Allergy Clinic no longer provides skin testing, pulmonary function testing and broncho-dialator nebulization due to an actual allergist not in the clinic. Patients need to have a provider at RWBAHC, if they wish to see the allergist for any of the services the health center no longer provides. Patients will need to see their Primary Care Managers for an allergy consult, which will be referred to the allergist in Tucson for allergy testing.

Depending on the patient’s sensitivity, they are either put on allergy meds or the allergist would make the call for them to receive allergy immunotherapy. RWBAHC Allergy Clinic hours are now 7:30-11:45 a.m. and 1-3:45 p.m. with no allergy shots given on Thursday afternoon. For more information, call 520.533.8813.

CSMS raises diabetes awareness through 3K event Story by Gabrielle Kuholski Staff Writer

Get ready, get set, run for your life! Colonel Smith Middle School, or CSMS, will host its second Run For

Your Life 3K Run/Walk April 26 for all members of the Fort Huachuca community in addition to students. The event helps CSMS promote diabetes awareness and physical activity, according to Susan Jacoby, school nurse and RN-C.

Smith Middle School eighth grade student and president of the Step It Up Club, records a video public service announcement at the Fort Huachuca Public Affairs Office commanders access channel studio with Erin Schnitger, Fort Huachuca school liaison, and CSMS eighth grade student Joaquin Diaz. Their message focuses on the importance of a healthy lifestyle as an adolescent and raises awareness on diabetes and childhood obesity.

“We’ve been promoting a healthy lifestyle a good five to eight years here at CSMS, and we’ve had students with diabetes throughout these years,” Jacoby said.

Having juvenile diabetes, Joaquin Diaz, a CSMS eighth grade student, explained what the event means to him.

“It’s important because I’ve gone from having [diabetes] and being so self-conscious about how I look, that I went and got physically fit, and for those kids who have [diabetes] they need to stay physically fit and not give into obesity because you can die that way,” Diaz said.

The Run for Your Life 3K Run/Walk is organized by the CSMS Step It Up Club, which promotes health and fitness among students. Club members are involved in spreading diabetes awareness, creating educational material for classrooms and talking about healthy eating and exercise can affect diabetes.

The club also promotes an activity called “Movement of the Day” or

MOD, where movements are studentchoreographed along with music.

Each classroom is going to develop their own MOD by the direction of the Step It Up Club and will perform them at the assembly that takes place before the 3k run/walk.

In addition to student involvement, the assembly will include guest speakers from Raymond W. Bliss Health Center who will spread the message of diabetes awareness and go over healthy food choices.

“I hope that [participants] connect that increased activity and better, healthy eating is disease-preventing and will help prevent in the long-run, diabetes,” Jacoby said.

The Run For Your Life assembly begins at 1:30 p.m. at CSMS and the run begins at 2:10 p.m. All participants must register on or before Wednesday. Register online at www. fthuachucak12.az.us under Colonel Smith Middle School, Clubs, Step It Up Club. For more information, contact Susan Jacoby at (520) 417-8460 or jacobys@fhasd.org.

Fort Huachuca’s Mavericks finish undefeated Story by Maranda Flynn Staff Writer

The Mavericks, one of the three Fort Huachuca junior division basketball teams, closed out the season undefeated on April 5 at Joyce Clark Middle School in Sierra Vista.

Playing against the Sierra Vista Grizzlies, the Mavericks won the championship game with a final score of 59-40.

Omar Pierre, the Fort Huachuca Garrison S1, volunteered his time as the team coach. He has coached on Fort Huachuca for the last four years but had originally planned to take this year off. However, after many requests from multiple parents, Pierre formed the last minute team right before the season began.

The team is made up of eight boys and one girl, ages 11-13, and all but one of the players attends Colonel Smith Middle School on post. In previous years, Pierre had coached four of the current players.

They practiced twice a week and games were held on Wednesdays and Saturdays, consuming a large amount of time but, their hard work paid off.

“Our biggest highlight was winning the championship after going through the season untouched,” Pierre said. “Most of our victories were 20 plus points.”

When asked why he thought the season went so well, he replied “It was the team concept. There is no “I” in team and that was the big thing. I really think that we are all one team. In order to be elite, you have to play together ... no one was above anyone or left out. It was always for the benefit of the team.”

To celebrate their successful season, an end-of-season party was held at Pizza Hut Bistro in Sierra Vista, Mar. 23. Each player was given a participation plaque provided by the Fort Huachuca Youth Sports and Fitness program. After the championship game, Jack King, Sierra Vista Leisure Services sports coordinator, presented each player with a trophy, and gave the coach a team trophy as well.

Fort Huachuca’s junior and senior basketball divisions are competitive. The purpose is to prepare the players for higher-level organized sports. For more information about Fort Huachuca’s Youth Sports and Fitness program, call 533.0711.
