Climb a Wall of Adventure

by Christine Albus

“Getting to the top is optional. Getting down is mandatory.” This is a quote taken from Ed Viesturs, a high-altitude mountaineer who has climbed fourteen of the world’s highest peaks.

I think about this “optional” aspect as I stare up at the multi-colored, 20-foot rock climbing wall located in Fort Knox’s Smith Physical Fitness Center (PFC). Upon further investigation, I find the rock climbing wall is designed to introduce beginners to the elements of rock climbing as well as appeal to the more advanced rock climbing enthusiasts.

Did you know that rock climbing is a low impact activity that burns up to 800 calories per hour? Not only is rock climbing a great physical activity, it is free to Active Duty, Family Members, Retirees, DoD Civilians and Contractors of all ages.

I decide that I will not let the rock wall intimidate or defeat me, and I try my hardest to get to the top. The first step is signing a waiver acknowledging there is some risk involved, the participant is in good health and will adhere to all safety standards. Next, there are two options: bouldering or top-roping.

Bouldering occurs on the 14 x 60 foot wall and is available to all levels of experience and to all ages. Bouldering works on technique and upper body strength. All first time users will receive a safety briefing from the staff. The staff will also provide a tutorial in basic rock climbing techniques. If you are familiar with bouldering and have been briefed on safety practices, you are free to use the wall at your convenience.

Top-roping uses ropes and harnesses on a 22 x 60 foot wall. Top-roping involves fluid body movement, strength and

endurance. To use the top-roping wall, a participant needs to take the Belay Class that covers knots, techniques, and climbing communication.

A “test-out” option is available for advanced rock climbers.

As a beginner, who could not make it to the top but landed safely on the “crash pads,” I have much to learn about bouldering and I am fascinated by all the rock climbing wall opportunities available. Smith PFC provides several different climbing classes to all different levels of climbers. The climbing wall is also available to reserve for Soldier PT, birthday parties, Family Readiness Groups, or office team building. To reserve a time, call (502) 624-1413.

What could be more adventurous than the rock climbing walls? Ryan Noble, Fort Knox Adventure Program Coordinator, provides adrenaline-pumping opportunities for youth, individuals, Families, and groups. The Adventure Program takes advantage of the natural resources around us and includes excursions such as whitewater rafting, kayaking, zip-lining, canoeing, water-skiing, hiking and more.

“Participants do not need to be experts. They just need the desire to have some fun in the great outdoors,” said Noble.

All excursions include instruction, equipment, transportation, and meals for a low cost. “Meeting new people with similar interests while learning about the environment through challenging experiences that promote personal growth and teamwork is priceless,” says Noble.

Army Family Team Building Benefits Everyone

by Iva Pearlstein

Army Family Team Building is for anyone needing to acclimate themselves to Military lifestye and will benefit from the courses and services offered through Army Family Team Building (AFTB). A series of classes organized into three levels, along with Navigating Knox, are filled with useful information and tips for the members of the Fort Knox community. Taught by dedicated, trained volunteers, the courses form a program with the primary objective of improving the readiness of the force by teaching and promoting personal and Family readiness. Jeanette Hack, Program Manager, believes everyone who participates will benefit from the courses and services, and states, “You don’t know what you don’t know.”

Although the training courses can be taken online, they have been updated for the first time since 2006 for today’s Army, and the fresher content is currently only available in the classroom. Above and beyond the more relevant subject matter, the classroom offers participants a sense of community along with the chance to meet others in similar situations. Contacts can be made or strengthened that continue beyond the classroom. With an average class size of 8-10, but no less than a minimum of five participants, group dynamics are guaranteed. For participants requiring childcare, it is free while they are attending AFTB programs as long as they preregister at the Child Development Center (CDC).

Navigating Knox is offered on a monthly basis and the schedule is available through Army Community Service (ACS).

Thanks to lively interaction, participating in the new Level K class with five others with varying levels of Military experience is beneficial. Sharing experiences results in new insights, not just for the participants, but the instructors also learn information they can share in future classes. During introductions at a recent AFTB Level K class, one participant announced, “I’m doing AFTB for the second time for the updated content and to meet new people.” Multiple instructors with expertise in the topics that they present enhance and add variety to the two-day program.

Over the 3-level program, a broad range of subject matter is covered. The Knowledge (K) Level includes Military life along with various financial and legal topics. Additionally, an overview of Military culture is presented through acronyms, chain of command, ceremonies, Volunteers who join the staff of qualified ACS instructors also traditions, and etiquette for social functions.

The Hostess House eventually bid farewell to its hotel duties and began a tour of new responsibilities.

Although it is unclear when the building discontinued use as a guest house, it did welcome patients after the post hospital burned down for unknown reasons in 1928.

The Visitor’s House was renamed the Station Hospital until 1934.

Around the time of World War II, the Hostess House was the division headquarters for Old Ironsides 1st Armored Division. Since then, the building has been utilized for a variety of missions. Like many vintage buildings on Fort Knox, it has rich character steeped in history.

Unlike the others however, the Hostess House can claim construction during the World War I era and, as one of post’s oldest structures; it is also believed by some of the current occupants to possibly be haunted.

If you would like to learn if this building is really haunted, what major motion picture it appeared in, or what it is being used for currently, check out “Have You Seen This Fort Knox Building? Part II: Haunted” in the July issue of Opportunity Knox!

In September 1918, prior to being a permanent installation, Camp Knox initiated construction on what would be a U.S. Army artillery camp. The construction was not keeping pace with the daily arrival of troops as the numbers piled in well over 9,000. Most of the Cadets and Soldiers found abominable accommodations in “tent cities.” The camp was in dire need of more permanent facilities.

The National Catholic War Council (NCWC) promptly responded by building a house that acted as both hostess and temporary quarters for guests in August 1919 at a cost of $50,000. The NCWC Guest House was in its prime, “by far the finest structure on Camp Knox.”

Visitors were entertained within this large building that had fourteen guest rooms, a large dining area, lounges, and writing rooms. The NCWC of the Knights of Columbus appointed a permanent chaplain in charge of the facility while it was called the Hostess House or the Visitor’s House.

Camp Knox became a permanent post in 1932, gaining the title of Fort Knox. The housing shortage did not end with the new name though. In 1933, the acting post commander, COL Adna R. Chaffee, Jr., struggled Sources with inadequate boarding space for incoming Soldiers. • R.

Army Birthday 238 Years Strong!

“This we’ll defend”

by Iva Pearlstein

The Revolutionary War Soldiers joined together in an Army for the defense of liberty in 1775; the same as those in today’s Army – 238 years later! With approval by Congress on June 14, 1775, our nation’s leaders established the Continental Army which began our American tradition of defending liberty. Celebrated by the Army Birthday are the continued honor, loyalty and bravery of our Soldiers’ service along with the steadfast support of our local communities for our Soldiers and their Families.

Army Strong Day activities take place all around Fort Knox during June 7-22 and are a celebration of the Army’s Birthday and its strength today. Several highlighted events are being held on the actual birthday, June 14. The United States Army Mission Support Brigade (USAMSB,) which features technologically advanced vehicles and equipment will be on display at the Main Exchange parking lot from 9 AM until 3 PM. A ceremony officially reopening the newly updated and renovated Patton Museum will take place starting at 10 AM. The Commander’s Cup Presentation and cutting of the Army Birthday cake will be at 3 PM. Then capping off the day is the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Ball beginning with cocktail hour at 6:30 PM. Sporting events and other activities will also take place throughout the Army Strong Day celebration period. The Army Birthday 10 Mile Run and 5k Run will be held on June 15 at the Gammon

knoxmwr.com

Physical Fitness Center (PFC). The 10 Mile Run begins at 7 AM and the 5k Run begins at 7:10 AM. Registration is online at www.knoxmwr.com.

Awards will be presented and the top four male and the top two female finishers will qualify to represent Fort Knox in the 10 Mile Race at the AUSA Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. this October. At the finish line, t-shirts will be distributed and refreshments will be available.

Chair massages will also be provided at the races by “Health, Harmony and Nature.”

Shannon Wolfrum, Director, Sports and Fitness, urges everyone to register for one of the two races. “It’s fun, healthy and Families or units can participate together,” said Wolfrum. Volunteers are needed for the race events and those interested can contact Wolfrum at (502) 624-8180.

Look online and within your unit for more details on other sporting events that are part of the Army Strong Day activities; including golf, swimming, bowling, Frisbee football, softball, volleyball and basketball.

Opportunities to relax can be enjoyed during the Weinfest starting at 5 PM on June 7 at the Saber & Quill, and while watching the Miss USO Pageant at the Waybur Theater on June 9 from 10 AM to 4 PM. The Trace Adkins concert on June 22 is certain to be an exciting conclusion to the Army Strong Days!

Teens will also be rewarded with a special prize bag after completing their first reading folder, and be eligible to win random weekly prizes and the Grand Prize. The folders will contain several challenging options to be completed in order to receive a prize bag.

The adult program runs June 1 through August 31. It will be especially designed to encourage reading but also incorporate other Library and MWR events held at Fort Knox. There will be author events held (June 27, July 1, July 27 and August 15), and a Budget Travel program (July 18) all in support of adult reading.

Program completers will receive an incentive along with a chance at a Grand Prize.

The Summer Reading Program is sponsored

by Harshaw Trane, Fort Knox Federal Credit Union, Fort Knox Spouses & Community Club, and Snappy Tomato Pizza.
