9 /13 Fort Campbell MWR Life for Families

Fall is Open Season September is a unique month! Nine letters in its name and it’s also the ninth month of the year. William Corlew writes about a few other quirky things this month brings us. This month, I’d like to introduce you to a new series of articles. As a MWR employee, I know about Child, Youth and School Services (CYSS) and have used it for my children in many different ways. But I wasn’t aware that we have a wonderful 4-H partnership within CYSS! It’s not just about agriculture anymore. You can look forward to learning more about what CYSS has to offer in the coming months. From Army Community Service to the Sportsman’s Lodge restauant, MWR has programs and activities to fit your lifestyle. We love to reach out to our Families in the community and support local events, such as Salute Week in Hopkinsville. The week starts with a softball game between Soldiers and Hopkinsville Civilians on September 7 and ends with Trot for Troops on September 14. Be sure to taste test some of the best chili around at the Freedom Friday Chili Cook-off on Friday afternoon, September 13, in downtown Hopkinsville. Entertainment, recipes, education, style tips and volunteering…MWR Life covers it all!

Spotlight on MWR

p e n e a S O n

Fort Campbell is fortunate in many ways. We are a community steeped with pride in the Soldiers who have been and those who are currently a part of this Division and Garrison. In addition, we enjoy wonderful opportunities for sportsmen and women and anyone that enjoys outside activities. The nights are beginning to cool, the leaves are beginning to change; Autumn is here. It’s a time of year that many in this region look forward to every year. Deer season at Fort Campbell opens on September 21 and runs through the end of December. Fort Campbell consists of 105,000 acres, located in four counties: two each in Kentucky and Tennessee. Of this area, more than 62,000 acres are available for hunting, fishing and other recreational activities, when training permits. Before you head out to enjoy the abundance of available activities, you must have an Outdoor Recreation Permit, which is available from the Main Office, located at 6645 101st Airborne Division Road.

Fort Campbell is well known around this area for the whitetail deer harvested every year. Many hunters from the surrounding states plan their weekends around hunting at Fort Campbell. Last year, there were over 15,000 hunting trips taken on Fort Campbell and nearly 900 deer were harvested. Any deer harvested on Fort Campbell is “free” to the surrounding states as far as the number you can harvest. Fort Campbell allows hunters to harvest three deer and no more than one can be antlered. These deer do not count against the number you are allowed to harvest in Tennessee or Kentucky. Plus, if you love to hunt, but do not care to eat the game you hunt, Outdoor Recreation maintains a list of Families who will accept donated venison. In addition to big game

hunting (for deer and wild turkey), there is also plenty of interest in hunting small game which includes squirrel, rabbit, quail, raccoon, fox and bobcat, among others. Waterfowl hunting is also permitted around the lakes and beaver ponds on the installation. All of the appropriate state licenses, tags and permits must be held for each type of game you are hunting. A hunter’s safety course is mandatory to obtain your post permit. All licenses and permits are available through the resale section of the Main Office of Outdoor Recreation. Most of the fees for the post permits go toward funding wildlife management efforts and habitat improvement across the installation. Please be mindful of our regulations that state all weapons brought onto Fort Campbell must be registered with the Provost Marshall’s Office, Law Enforcement Command (PMOLEC) at Gate 4, prior

to being brought on the installation. All weapons must be transported empty and cased coming into and departing from the installation.

Hunting on Fort Campbell is set up on a priority basis, with active duty personnel getting the first opportunity to request an area starting at 8 a.m. two days before the hunt. Next, disabled veterans are able to call in to request an area at 9 a.m., and Retirees and Department of the Army Civilians at 9:30 a.m. At 10:30 a.m., the lines are open to everyone to call for available area assignments. You must obtain an area assignment from Hunting and Fishing prior to going into the training areas, and you are required to check out of that area each night. You may hold only one area assignment at any given time. If you want to try another area, you must turn in one assignment before obtaining another.

The areas that are open for recreational use are always listed on the Fort Campbell MWR website, www.fortcambellmwr.com.

This list is updated weekly during hunting season, after areas are released by units from training obligations.

In addition to hunting, Fort Campbell has two lakes, two stocked trout streams and numerous beaver ponds that are open for fishing. There is a children’s fishing pond for children age

12 and under located just below the Lake Taal dam in Creekside Park. No permits are required for children to fish in this pond. There is also a youth and handicap accessible pond located in Training Area 7 for youth aged 17 and under.

Appropriate licenses and permits are required to fish there. If you decide to try your luck in one of the stocked trout streams, you must have the appropriate state’s trout stamp in addition to your fishing license. Young fishermen may be exempt from this; but, you should check with the Main Office of Outdoor Recreation to ensure you are in compliance with all of the licensing requirements.

Fort Campbell offers other opportunities to get involved in Outdoor Recreation if you are not a hunter or fisher. The Riding Stables offer trail rides on weekends, pony rides for the children and pony parties if you are planning a birthday party or other celebration. They also offer special events and instructional programs like Introduction to Horseback Riding and Horse Care Clinics. Periodically, they will offer camps, ride and dines, date nights, hay rides and other activities focused around horses. There is also a kennel located at the Riding Stables that provides boarding for your pet during vacations, house renovations, deployments or other reasons you need a place for your pet to stay.

Outdoor Recreation operates two campgrounds on post, Eagles Rest and Fletcher’s Fork. Both of these campgrounds offer bathhouses. A laundry, located at Eagles Rest, is available for campers staying at either campground. There are also eleven cabins and cottages to rent for short getaways. Three of these are deluxe facilities which include an indoor restroom and shower.

The paintball field is a great place to do some teambuilding, hone your skills or host a party. They have all the equipment you need, and can accommodate groups of up to 30 people. The paintball field is located on Jordan Springs Road and is open on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 12 noon to 6 p.m. Hours during the week are by appointment only. The paintball field has a resale store, so you can purchase snacks and drinks and make a day of it.

www.fortcampbellmwr.com

If you want to improve your skills prior to hunting season, Outdoor Recreation operates an archery range, a skeet range and a privately owned firearms range. The archery range is located just off of 11th Airborne Division Road, across from the Challenge Course complex. You can use it any time, but if you want help with a new bow or setting your sights, our instructor is available by appointment for training. The skeet range offers skeet, trap and five stand shooting. It hosts three National Skeet Shooting Association events every year, as well as the Eagle Skeet Shooting Club, which holds regular competitions in a league setting. The skeet range has a

variety of shotguns available for rent if you don’t have your own, or if you prefer not to bring yours on post. The privately owned firearms range is located at Range 16, and is open on weekends, holidays and DONSAs. If you would prefer not to bring your own weapon, there are weapons available for rent including AR15s, .22 caliber rifles, M1A1s, 45 caliber, 40 caliber, 22 caliber and 9mm pistols.

No matter your skill level, your preference of game or your status, Outdoor Recreation has your hunting and fishing needs. Please call (270)798-2175 or visit www.fortcampbellmwr.com for additional information.

In the Kitchen

by Tara Goodson

Oktoberfest is right around the corner and Fort Campbell MWR will host a local event on September 28 at Sportsman’s Lodge, where you can enjoy German bier, music and food! All ages are welcome from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; only ages 18 and over from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. If you simply cannot wait for a taste of Germany, treat yourself and your Family to these easy recipes. A stein of Hofbrau or Lowenbrau (available at the Class Six) completes the meal.

Potato Salad (Gisela Childress’ recipe) This recipe should be served warm or at room temperature, it’s slightly salty with a wonderful vinegar bite!

Ingredients: 5 lbs russet potatoes • ¼ cup gourmet salad vinegar • ¼ cup canola oil 1 medium white onion • 4 small chicken bouillon cubes • Salt and pepper to taste Instructions: Boil potatoes whole until cooked through (approx. 15-20 mins.), drain and let cool for 5- 10 mins. While potatoes are cooling, chop onion into small pieces. Dissolve bouillon in ¾ cup hot water. Peel and slice potatoes thinly and place in large bowl. Place onion and potatoes in large bowl, add vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Pour chicken stock over potatoes while still hot and gently combine. Season to taste, adding more salt, pepper and vinegar.

Cucumber Salad and Tomato Salad (Gisela Childress’ recipe) These very light salads have an exhilarating bite that's delicious anytime of the year! A couple of simple tweaks gives you two separate salads or you can combine them (my choice) for a great taste.

Ingredients: 4 large cucumbers • 1/2 large white onion • 1/4 cup gourmet salad vinegar • 1/3 cup canola oil Salt and pepper to taste 12 Roma or 6 large tomatoes • 1/2 large white onion • 1/4 cup gourmet salad vinegar 1/3 cup canola oil • 2 tbsp. sugar • Salt and pepper to taste Instructions: Thinly slice (paper thin) the cucumber and tomato and place in separate bowls. Chop the onion and divide evenly between two bowls, add vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. In the tomato bowl, sprinkle the sugar over the tomato slices. Gently combine all ingredients in each bowl and allow to marinate in the fridge for at least an hour. Serve cold.

Rouladen (Old Family recipe) This traditional Rouladen recipe is for single-serving beef rolls filled with pickles, bacon and brown mustard. The stove-top cooking method locks in the meat's moisture and makes for very juicy rolls.

Ingredients: 6 slices top round • 3 slices lean bacon, uncooked • 1 onion, sliced • 3 garlic dill pickles, sliced 2 tbsp. butter • Mustard, salt, pepper, corn starch • 1 - 2 cups water Instructions: Season beef slices with salt and freshly ground pepper. Thinly spread mustard on top of each slice. Divide bacon, pickle, and onion slices on one end of each slice. Roll up slices, tucking the ends in and securing with skewers, wooden cocktail picks, or thread. Heat butter in skillet.

Brown rouladen well on all sides. Do not crowd rouladen in skillet, or they will not brown nicely. Do in small batches if necessary. Add extra butter if needed. Once all rouladen are well browned, add 1 - 2 cups of hot water, gently stirring up browned bits. Return all Rouladen and any accumulated juices to skillet, bring to simmer and cover. Simmer for about 1 1/2 hours. Remove Rouladen. To thicken gravy, combine about 1-2 tbsp. corn starch in a little cold water and stir gently into cooking liquid until slightly thickened. Season gravy to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. If you wish, add sour cream to the gravy. Remove skewers, picks, or thread to serve Rouladen with their gravy.

CYSS

A Way of Life

by Tammie Heath

4-H is more than a club; it is a way of life. 4-H is a youth organization administered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) with the mission of “engaging youth to reach their fullest potential while advancing the field of youth development.� The name represents four personal development areas of focus for the organization: Head, Heart, Hands and Health.

The goal of 4-H is to develop citizenship, leadership, responsibility and life skills of youth through experiential learning programs and a positive youth development approach.

Though typically thought of as an agriculturally focused organization, today it focuses on citizenship, healthy living, and science, engineering, and technology programs. 4-H is often associated with summer camp, county fairs and state fairs, but now encourages its members to study beyond agriculture and animal husbandry to include photography, conservation,

cooking, public speaking, shooting sports, history and art. 4-H has spread out across the world and regularly awards and sponsors the 4-H International Exchange Program, trips and cultural events.

In the past year, there were 1,916 military youth from our community who represented the Fort Campbell 4-H Community Club. 4-H Clubs are at the heart of Child, Youth

and School Services (CYSS) and can be found in nearly all of our part time, full time and school age facilities. On any given day, you can see our youth putting the goals of 4-H into action. Fort Campbell 4-H members produced 37 exhibit entries in the Western Kentucky State Fair held in Hopkinsville, of which seven youth received purple ribbons! Those seven winners advanced to the Kentucky State Fair in Louisville. In addition to the fair exhibits, Fort Campbell competed in the Communications Curriculums with prepared speeches and two of the youth competed at the State Level Competition. The Fort Campbell 4-H community service project is supporting the Warrior Transition Battalion (WTB) through reading to younger children, helping to maintain the healing garden, organizing holiday baskets and working with their organizational day by helping with arts and crafts projects.

Along with the community service projects held at the WTB, the 4-H youth also marched in parades in Pembroke, Erin and Hopkinsville carrying banners, passing out candy and cleaning up the environment after the parades. If you are interested in becoming a 4-H member or volunteering, please call (270) 461-4542.

Celebrate Nine in Thirty

Off the Beaten Path

by William D. Corlew III

With the overabundance of daily bad news, there are numerous reasons to get excited about the next day. Tomorrow is always special because it gives us something to look forward to, especially if we recently went through a bad day. For example: late for work, it’s raining and you forgot your umbrella, your coffee cup sprang a leak on your brand new Coach purse, your dog decided to use the indoor restroom, you forgot to pay your cell phone bill last month, you realize that you didn’t apply deodorant this morning and my personal favorite - as you lock the door to your house, you discover that your keys are not in your hand.

Whether it’s Pay Day, Hump Day, or Friday, tomorrow is sure to promise a break from the past bad day, or better yet, comic relief from a horrendous week. Take, for example, the month of September – occurs once every year, wedged between August and October; a rather mundane and obscure month, right? As a matter of fact, September is essentially the month you see more people exercising, preparing for the semi-annual Army Physical Fitness Test in October and September is also the kick-off to a new season of NFL! Football aside, it’s the most unique month of the entire year for other reasons.

Here’s why: the month of September consists of nine characters, making it the longestspelled month of the year, and it is the ninth month of the year. Additionally, you may choose to abbreviate September using either SEP or SEPT (the only month that offers a choice of using an abbreviation with four characters). September and December are the only two months of the year that share the exact same days each year. This means that the 1st day of the month will always occur on similar corresponding days and this year we

www.fortcampbellmwr.com

even get an opportunity to celebrate the first Friday the 13th for 2013 (if you miss it, don’t worry, it will return in December). For my old-school readers, one of the most popular songs of all times by Earth, Wind, and Fire opens with, “Do you remember the 21st of September?” Coincidently, September 21 just happens to be the first day of autumn.

Respectively, in the United States, we distinguish Labor Day and Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance to honor the memory of our loved ones and fellow citizens who lost their lives as the result of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, as well as Constitution Day and POW/MIA Recognition Day. Furthermore, during September, we recognize the achievements and contributions of Americans for National Hispanic Heritage Month as well as the athletic prowess of young Americans for National Little League Month. However, according to www.emotionscards.com and www.holidayinsights.com there are many other reasons to celebrate the month of September. Honey Month, Piano Month, Better Breakfast Month, Self Improvement Month, and Baby Safety Month - who knew September could bring such a variety?

On the other hand, September yields acknowledgment to some rather odd and quite humorous celebrations

that seem to contradict other daily observances within the same month. For example, September 5 is Be Late for Something Day and September 6 is Fight Procrastination Day so if you are thinking (like me) of arriving to work a few hours late on the 5 and explain to your supervisor, “Don’t worry – I’ll make it up tomorrow, during Fight Procrastination Day”, you may find your career potential, potentially in peril. Nonetheless, procrastinators always have great excuses for their shortcomings.

They may choose to put off (procrastinate) their late day until Friday the 13th, in order to participate in Blame Some One Else Day. But a word of caution for all procrastinators and ardent believers in the mystic of Friday the 13th being a day of ill luck – Friday the 13th is also Fortune Cookie Day and Defy Superstition Day. For all you sugar aficionados, there are even days in September that rival the finest confectioners of Saint Valentine’s Day: Chocolate Milk Shake Day, on September 12 and National Cream Filled Donut Day, September 14. Now, I’m extremely tolerant to any sugary nutrient; I think any day is appropriate for a box or two of Shipley’s donuts or a baker’s dozen of Krispy Kremes.

Nevertheless, for whatever reason you decide to celebrate a day in September or any month, have fun and make time to spend with others.

While doing so, maybe you can end the

exhaustive debate passed from great-grandparents to those who are self-professed fashionistas: is it acceptable to wear white after Labor Day, or not?

ECFT

ARE YOU R EADY?

by Ben Alejandro and Jessica Goldberg The Go Commando Half Marathon & 5K, powered by CDE Lightband, is the ninth event in the Eagle Challenge Fitness Tour. The event will be held Saturday, October 19, inside Liberty Park in Clarksville. The Go Commando Half Marathon & 5K began in 2011 to promote healthy active lifestyles in the community, and raise money for local organizations. The race route is set on the banks of the Cumberland River and runs through Historic Downtown Clarksville. As a shout out to the troops over at Fort Campbell, and to all those who just enjoy “going commando”, we’re sure you will enjoy this race and the Clarksville area. Be sure to sign up today, as the race is only open to the first 2,000 runners and has SOLD OUT the past two years! You can register online by visiting the link on the Fort Campbell MWR ECFT web page.

The Go Commando Half Marathon & 5K is proud to be the only half marathon in Clarksville that is locally supported and supports local organizations. It is a non-profit event, with proceeds going to Clarksville Area YMCA programs,

the Fort Campbell Historical Foundation, Austin Peay State University and many more.

Learn about all of the partner programs at at www.gocommandoclarksville.com. Runners can choose to make a donation to a charity of their choice, join a running team, or get involved in other ways. To join a running team, visit the Training Groups page. You can also learn more about our non-profit partners during the Health & Fitness Expo presented by The Runners Hub. There, you will be able to speak one-on-one with the non-profits and see how you can get involved in the cause.

Race day will consist of three fantastic events; the Liberty Fun Run presented by Premier Medical Group (for kids ages 10 years and under), the Michelob Ultra 5K, and the Half Marathon powered by CDE Lightband. As an added incentive, race participants will receive a finisher’s medal and great race swag, including the choice between the coveted t-shirt or premium race shorts. Hang out at Liberty Park after the runs for the Post Race Party featuring music, activities and a really good time.

The Half Marathon will begin at 7:30 a.m.

October 19. The start and finish will be inside beautiful Liberty Park. From the park, runners will race along the Cumberland River and into Austin Peay State University, Historic Downtown Clarksville and beyond. The scenic hills that make up the course are a fun challenge. Awards will be given to Top Finishers (male and female) and Masters (male and female). Age group awards will be given to both male and female top three in each division.

The Michelob Ultra 5K will begin at 8 a.m. and run completely inside Liberty Park.

Runners will enjoy a fast, flat course along the Cumberland River.

Children 10 years old and younger now have an event designed just for them! The Liberty Fun Run, presented by Premier Medical Group, will bring children into a non-competitive event that promotes fun, exercise and good sportsmanship.

The Liberty Fun Run is NOT a timed event. All children will receive a medal. The entire course is completely inside Liberty Park.

Parents and older siblings are encouraged to run with their child, or cheer them on along the sidelines. Mascots, spirit teams, and adoring fans will line the route, so join in on the fun!

The Go Commando Health & Fitness Expo, presented by The Runners Hub, will be a two-day event Friday, October 18 and Saturday, October 19. The expo is free and open to the public. Vendors will be on

hand featuring the latest and greatest in health care, fitness, and wellness products. Race participants and community members are free to ask questions, participate in demonstrations, and sample products. Race packet pick-up will be available from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, October 18. Pick up your race packet, bag-o-swag and some really great products from our event sponsors.

A Go Commando Shadow Race will be held in Afghanistan again this year. For the past two years, there has been a Shadow Race overseas, but this will be the largest to date. There will be 200+ Fort Campbell Soldiers running in the USAA Go Commando Shadow Race 2013.

Be Prepared on Race Day If you will be running or watching the event this year, there are a few important things you should know. First, there will not be any vehicles allowed inside Liberty Park. All race participants and spectators must use the satellite parking facilities on Highway 48/13, just one mile from the start line. There will be six shuttle buses running continuously from 6 a.m. to 12 noon Saturday morning. Second, there will not be any bags, purses, or containers of any kind allowed near the start line. All extra baggage can be left at the secure bag check prior to race start.

Participants, please be aware that there will be restricted areas around the start and finish line.

Good luck and we’ll see you at the starting line!

Healthy Habits by Char

Should You Hire a Personal Trainer?

Whether you are new to fitness or you have hit a plateau and can’t get rid of the last 10 pounds, deciding to hire a Personal Trainer can be a big decision.

Personal Trainers come in all shapes and sizes, just like you and I. The difference in each is the knowledge, skill, motivation and character. Hiring one is a very personal choice.

If you hire a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), it is best to research the area or local fitness clubs to see what they offer. Some clubs will offer a Personal Trainer for free with a membership, but there can be stipulations to the contract.

Self-employed Personal Trainers are also very popular.

Many work via contract with a local gym or can even come to your home. Prices for trainers will vary and may be based on location, duration, your goals, their certifications, or more - and can vary from $25 per hour and beyond. Package deals and payment plans are sometimes available to make it a bit more affordable.

You may be able to bring a friend or two and have Group Personal Training sessions that will allow a discount. Some trainers may even offer a free consultation! I suggest you take advantage of that service and do not forget to interview the trainer. You need to decide whether or not you are compatible with them, and also ensure the trainer is certified by a reputable organization. Have a goal for what you would like to achieve in mind before you speak with someone.

Hiring a knowledgeable Personal Trainer should benefit you for the rest of your life, not just for the time you work with them. Most Personal Trainers receive basic nutritional training,

but are not certified nutritionists or dieticians, so you probably won’t receive a menu from them. This is something you should inquire about when you are interviewing your prospective trainers. A common drawback of hiring a CPT is price. In my opinion; it shouldn’t take more than 12 weeks to teach a client what they need to know to keep them on track for the rest of their life. However, the client must be willing to make necessary lifestyle changes in order to be successful! The money paid to a CPT is an investment in you, and therefore, worth every penny.

Some individuals simply want a trainer to hold them accountable and design a training program while others need an intense trainer to push them to their limits and beyond. Each CPT will train differently and have a style all their own, but should also be able to accommodate any individual based on their needs. Whatever the reason you are thinking of hiring a CPT, be sure to do your homework and know what your goal is in order to select the right trainer to lead you to success.

Keeping it Together

Overcoming the Language Barrier

by Jessica Ryan

Growing up in a multilingual household, I never thought my childhood was peculiar. My father is American and my mother is from Thailand. My mother first came to the United States in 1979 to visit her sister, who had recently immigrated to Maryland.

During her visit, she met my dad and fell in

19

love. Needless to say, her one year visit extended to over thirty years. She never had a formal English education. Instead, she learned English from interacting with her co-workers and friends and reading the dictionary. Despite the language barriers, my Family worked together to become a strong and loving unit.

My story echoes the story of another Family at Fort Campbell. Nipharat “Nam” Estrada, her husband 1SG Christian Estrada, of the 52nd Ordnance Group (EOD), and their three daughters Lalita, Alissa, and Jasmine, moved to Fort Campbell two years ago. I first met Nam when I took a picture of her Family at a MWR event. Like my mother, Nam is from Thailand. After realizing we were both Thai, she instantly bowed and greeted me saying “Sawadee ka!” (which means ‘Hello’ in Thai). We quickly bonded and got to know each other’s backgrounds. I realized that our Families had a lot of similarities, and that there are many other military Families just like ours.

Nam and her husband first met in Phitsanulok, Thailand. Her husband was training with the Royal Thai Army. Nam was working at a nearby barber shop. One day, Estrada’s commander asked the barber shop to cut hair for the Soldiers. After getting his haircut by Nam, Estrada asked his commander where the barber shop was located and then visited Nam at the shop.

Nam did not know any English and Estrada was just beginning to learn Thai. Luckily, Estrada’s friend acted as a translator and informed Nam that Estrada wanted to date her. The couple fell in love, eventually married and Nam moved to the United States.

As time passed, the Estradas started raising a Family. They faced the question that many multilingual Families ask - what language(s) do we speak at home? After working with the Royal Thai Army, Estrada learned Thai and speaks to Nam in Thai. Nam speaks to her children in both Thai and English. “They understand Thai when I talk to them,” she stated. However, since her children attend American schools, she understands that her children will use English more at home. Luckily, Nam uses what her children learn in school as a way to improve her English.

Nam also notes how the military provides learning opportunities for non-native English speakers. At Fort Campbell, Nam

takes English as a Second Language (ESL) courses offered by the Army Community Service (ACS) Relocation Readiness Program. The classes are free for military ID cardholders and have childcare vouchers available. “I like to learn a different language and I’m still learning every day,” Nam said. “(Due to ACS’s ESL course) I have the chance to study without worrying about my children.” She is also part of the International Spouses Support Group and regularly meets with other international Spouses at social activities.

Additionally, the Estradas are very involved in MWR events and activ ties. Nam believes that Fort Campbell is the best Army post she has lived in due to the amount of free and low cost events for Families. “I’ve never been to another post that has so much to do like Fort Campbell. Fort Campbell MWR always creates events for the military Families,” she remarked. Her oldest daughter Lalita agreed. “I like MWR because they support the Army and give military kids something to do,” she commented.

Nam recommends that other military Families ‘like’ the Fort Campbell MWR Facebook page and RSVP to upcoming events and activities. She advises other Families to get information from their Family Readiness Groups (FRGs) and pay attention to electronic marquees, signs and flyers around post. Nam believes that Families should take advantage of these events and programs, especially while dealing with deployments. “The events keep my kids busy and active,” she claimed.

Like other military Families, the Estradas moved around the United States and even lived in overseas countries such as Germany and Japan. They plan to move again in the near future. No matter where they live, they keep it together through one language – love. “We just understand each other,” Nam concluded.

Style Your Life

Transforming Single Soldiers into Sophisticated Style Pros

by SGT Robert W. Mitchell

Young Single Soldiers going from the battlefields of the Middle East to the social clubs and corporate board rooms of Civilian life may need a few fashion pointers to make a successful transition. Here is an informative collection of smart advice and neat ways to smoothly swap out your battle-worn TA-50 gear, boots and ACUs for a fresh and clean look with sense, style and taste.

Properly fitting shoes are probably the first step towards looking sharp. As the old saying goes–you can judge a man by his shoes. If you are not used to wearing nice-looking high quality footwear, be ready to pay a little more for a classy pair. A decent pair of high quality, leather dress shoes may be expensive for some, but they will last a while if properly cared-for.

Young Soldiers would do well to wear clothes that make them look mature and responsible. The way you dress is the way you are perceived. If your look is no different than the way you looked back in your high school days, people are not going to take you seriously. Make yourself look a little wiser, like someone with some real world experience.

Toss the super casual clothes (t-shirts, cargo pants, jeans shorts, sweatshirts and sweatpants) and wear dressier, smarter clothes.

The majority of young Single Soldiers do not have the budget to purchase new trousers every other month. Therefore, it would be wise to avoid clothes that are considered “in season.” Faded, tattered jeans are a classic example of this. Soldiers on a budget should avoid these types of purchases; they should stick to a more classic clothing staple.

Whether you are going out for a night on the town, attending your sister’s graduation or your uncle’s retirement party, you are going to need a fairly decent suit at some point. If you think you may need the suit only rarely, try buying a classic single-breasted, two-button suit in gray or navy blue. However, if you think you might need more than one, try buying two or three in a variety

www.fortcampbellmwr.com

of colors and styles. Some stores offer special discounts when buying more than one suit. A decent wardrobe should have some white and light blue cotton-blend dress shirts.

These two colors make up the majority of dress shirts seen on just about any business man throughout the world. The colors blend well with any skin tone or complexion. Try to acquire these shirts at a value price by looking out for sales and discounts.

Jeans are popular, fun and easy to wear, but the styles are always changing: rips, tears, acid and bleach washing, distressed, stone washed, boot cut, wide leg, low rise, slim fit and baggy. Stick to the simple and comfortable jeans, preferably in a dark color. These will look good with a fitted T-shirt for a relaxed, casual look. Wear them with a button down shirt or a sport coat for a smart, business casual, style.

According to a self-proclaimed fashion guru for the Single Soldier community, SPC Joshua R. Charles, dressing to impress for success starts with making a lasting visual impression on those around you.“The classier you look the more attention you attract. There is nothing more desirable to a man than the attention of a woman because of the way he dresses. If you dress in a nice suit and tie, you are going to attract a sophisticated woman. But don’t over dress, though. Slacks and a dress shirt would do just fine for a semi-formal look. You could always add a tie to spice it up,” he explained.

Within his collection of suits are popular name-brands like Kenneth Cole, Armani and Versace. For the everyday Single Soldier unaccustomed to stepping out in style like this, he recommends doing your homework to find the style of clothes you want to wear. “You have to find your style and what captures your attention. To be able to wear a suit well, you have to want to wear a suit. That is the big difference between people who just wear a suit and those who look great wearing a suit. Research the image you want to have,” he said. Wear the clothes, don’t let the clothes wear you.

Home Town Hero

The Army’s Finest

by SGT Robert W. Mitchell Recognizing stand out Soldiers who have gone above and beyond the call of duty through volunteering and community service is no easy task here at the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division. We identified three individuals whose selfless service for others keeps our force ready and resilient. They are all dedicated to Single Soldiers and the communities surrounding Fort Campbell.

They care deeply about their brothers and sisters-in arms, and their actions are in line with Army values.

Taking Care of Our Own Meet SPC Timothy Sullivan, a 13B field artillery Soldier with 1 BCT, Bravo Battery, 2/320th. Sullivan grew up in Mountain View, California. He is committed to taking care of Single Soldiers at his unit and throughout the installation. He frequently volunteers to drive the BOSS van during Single Soldier trips and is often steps up to help BOSS leadership keep track of Soldiers during events. He is instrumental in the planning of events and often suggests programs and activities at the BOSS monthly meetings. Sullivan was recently recognized by his chain of command for his role in saving the life of a fellow Soldier. Sullivan has an approachable personality, yet his posture often causes Soldiers to mistake him for a Sergeant or other figure of authority, an innocent miscue he doesn’t seem to mind.

MWR: How did you get involved in the BOSS program?

Sullivan: Our battery was looking for a BOSS rep, so I decided to do it. I wanted to because it seemed like the right thing to do.

MWR: Why are you always meticulous about taking care of Soldiers?

MWR: Then what?

Sullivan: I started by asking him to tell me his name and where he was from. I tried to get his mind off of what he was thinking about.

My instinct was to get him distracted. We eventually got him to stop thinking about taking his own life.

On Fire for Single Soldiers Sullivan: I learned during a recent BOSS trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. A lot of guys kept coming to me with questions about what we doing, what we were allowed to do and where could we go. They needed answers.

MWR: How did you react to this situation?

Sullivan: I felt I should take responsibility. The BOSS guys put this trip altogether and I wanted to help them out.

MWR: So you saw an opportunity?

Sullivan: That’s right. It was a way to teach young Soldiers to look out for others.

SSG Jason Bretado, a 25F (switching systems operator and maintainer), is with 5th Special Forces Group. Bretado is 13-year active duty Army Soldier who frequently speaks at the BOSS bi-monthly meetings held at D.W. Rec. Bretado also hosts BOSS presentations at his unit level where Soldiers are recognized for their volunteer work and their support of the BOSS program. Bretado created and awarded BOSS certificates to several newly arrived Soldiers to Fort Campbell for giving their time in support of the program’s first Single Soldier Parent event this past July. Bretado’s efforts are exemplary and noteworthy.

MWR: You were recently recognized by being coined by your chain of command for saving a life, tell us more about that.

Sullivan: I was in the barracks and my name was called down the hall. Somebody wanted to know if I had the number to the Chaplain’s office because a Soldier was talking about taking his life. My buddy received a text from the Soldier. I just wanted to get to the guy; I wanted to get to the Soldier as soon as I could. I called my Platoon Sergeant and we drove to the hospital and found the guy in the lobby.

27

MWR: When did you first get involved with BOSS? Bretado: I have been with BOSS since 2008.

When I was stationed at Norfolk, my 1SG brought me to BOSS. At that point I volunteered to become the BOSS Representative for my company. I went to my first

BOSS meeting at Fort Monroe. They were looking for new staff members, so I went ahead and volunteered to be the BOSS Vice President. I started getting integrated with BOSS. MWR: What is the biggest benefit of the BOSS program here at Fort Campbell?

Bretado: My biggest interest in BOSS is what it brings to the Soldiers. The BOSS program has so much to offer the Soldiers and many don’t even know about it. One of the things I remember SGM James telling me at Fort Monroe is that the program is for Soldiers and leadership should ensure Soldiers get everything they are entitled to. Every NCO in the Army should know about BOSS and tell their Soldiers about all it has to offer.

MWR: Why did you join the Army?

Woody, a 68R (food inspector) with the 82nd Combat Support Hospital, 1 MED out of Fort Hood, freely gives up her personal time to volunteer with organizations like BOSS and the USO. When she arrived at her unit last year, her chain of command recognized a selfless service quality in her personality. She was then selected to be the unit BOSS Representative and the unit Morale Committee President, a job she embraced because she is driven to help others.

Woody hails from Albany, Oregon and holds a B.S. in Criminal Justice. She is truly committed to the welfare of others. She has special place in her heart for animals and veterans.

MWR: How did you become involved with the BOSS program?

Woody: I was “voluntold” to be the BOSS rep. My chain of command said my personality fits the position.

MWR: How would you describe your unit?

MWR: How do you feel about being a BOSS representative?

Woody: When I first showed up, I thought it was just another meeting to go to. But when I started to go the meetings, I realized that it is more than what most people think. The guy before me said he didn’t really go to the meetings, he just handed out flyers and that’s it.

Bretado: Growing up, I had always wanted to join the military, but I didn’t know which branch. I saw one of my friends come back on hometown recruiting and he had joined the Army and by seeing that, I made my choice to go with the Army.

MWR: You’ve been deployed to Iraq four times. How has this enhanced your leadership skills?

Bretado: My integration with other Soldiers and other branches has allowed me to see a different skill set in full operation mode and watch each Soldier adapt to different situations.

MWR: What are your duties as the Morale Committee President at your unit?

Woody: We raise money for things like plaques for Soldiers who are PCS’ing. This helps build unit cohesion.

Woody: The unit is highly deployable and that affects morale.

MWR: So how do you improve morale?

Woody: We invite people to come to the Morale Committee and get involved. Some people actually come out, and those who do, become highly motivated.

MWR: What motivates you to do what you do?

Woody: Anything that anyone is willing to put me charge of, I am willing to take on.

MWR: Who is your mentor, your childhood hero?

Woody: My Dad. That is where I got my drive from.

He was so focused on providing for us and getting the job done. He was my hero. He always said, “If God put you here, he knows you can get through it.”

Personal Values, Meet Army Values With little more than one year in the United States Army, SPC Nicole Woody has already made a name for herself at Fort Campbell through volunteering and community service.
