I CG works to betterquality of life, keepEngineers relevantBy Betty ThompsonESSAYONS Staff

Since Maj. Gen. Robert Flowerstook command here on Jul. 25, Flow-ers strives to accomplish two majorgoals that are also part of his jobresponsibilities.

As commander of the U.S. ArmyEngineer Center and Fort LeonardWood, Flowers expects to make asubstantial improvement in the qual-ity of life for everyone serving here.As commandant of the U.S ArmyEngineer School, Flowers also plansto make the Engineers a relevantforce. He would like to provide theArmy Corps of Engineers with theproper game plan for the future and

secure the resources, personnel andfinances, to enable Engineers to bea relevant force for the Army intothe next century. "By that (relevantforce), I mean a full contributor ofthe combined arms team."

Aside from his two other goals,Flowers ultimately seeks to createthe environment at Fort LeonardWood and within the Engineers"where people wake up in the morn-ing and are excited about going towork.

"Generally, people who feel liketheir organization cares about themand is looking out for their welfaretend to do better within their orga-nization," he said.

Although the Maneuver Sup-port Center calls for some changes,Flowers expects the transition to bea long term positive thing. The postwill continue to be "Home of theEngineers," according to Flowers.

"I think when you make room in

CFC ends, falls short of $333,000 goalO Installation extendscampaign extra weekbut misses by $2,500By Elaine SampsonESSAYONS Staff

This year's Combined FederalCampaign ended Friday with theinstallation missing its $333,000 goalby only $2,500.

The extra week of the campaignbrought in more than $30,000 dollarsin contributions.

"The extra week got us muchcloser to goal," said Sharon Hay-ward, CFC director.

The extra week of the campaigngave soldiers who were not here forthe beginning of the campaign thechance to donate. This extra weekalso gave the rest of the post anextra chance to donate, said Hay-ward.

"I want to say thanks to every-one who participated in thecampaign. I consider it a success,even though we did not make goal,almost 100 percent of the post wascontacted," said Hayward.

The money donated to the CFCnot only goes to help soldiers andtheir families, but also those in thesurrounding communities.

Filling vacated buildings andmoving people out of the old WorldWar II buildings is one of the goalsof the Directorate of Public Workshere.

To help accomplish this goal,four organizations on Fort LeonardWood will move to Building 498,between Truman Education Centerand the Credit Union, during the

spring and summer of FY 1998.These activities are the Direc-

torate of Information ManagementPostal System, the Print Plant, theArmy and Air Force Exchange Ser-vices administrative offices and theU.S. Post Office.

"The main objective is to getthese activities out of the WorldWar II buildings they are in and putthem in a more community servicearea," said Dan Harrison, Chief ofEngineer Division, Directorate ofPublic Works.

After the old buildings are va-cated they will be demolished. Bymoving the activities into the va-cant Building 498 and out of the oldWorld War II buildings, the post is

The money that Boys and GirlsTown receives supports many ofthe programs offered. Some of theprograms include sexual abuseclasses, drug and alcohol abuseclasses and the wagon trail program,explained Lisa VanBuskirk, directorof development at Boys and GirlsTown.

"We rely heavily on private andcorporate donations, we are veryappreciative," said VanBuskirk.

Two localquestions from the media following a smoke stations, KY3 and KOLR10, filmed and broad-demonstrations here Tuesday. Wooten and his casted the demonstration Tuesday.

Despite all of his goals, Flowers alsoexplained that prioritizing becomeshis biggest challenge as resourcesget constrained.

"As resources get constrainedwithin the federal budget, there's areal press on all of the services, theArmy in particular, to live withinthose constrained resources. TheArmy gets about 23 percent of theDepartment of Defense budget," saidFlowers. Although the Army hasthe majority of the personnel, thealloted portion continues to shrinkmaking it harder to train to standard,provide an acceptable quality of lifeand operate the bases, according toFlowers.

To help with prioritizing, Flow-ers admits that he seeks andwelcomes input from the post's per-sonnel, factors that into his thinking,and develops a plan for the future.

Flowers, a native of Pennsylva-nia, entered the military upon

graduation from the Virginia Mili-tary Institute and commissioning asa second lieutenant in 1969. He com-pleted Airborne and Ranger train ingafter his gra(luation and com,,rsioning.

His civilian and military cdusa:tion includes a master's degree incivil engineering from the Univer-sity of Virginia, the Engineer Basicand Advanced Courses, Commandand General Staff College, and theNational War College. Flowers isalso a registered professional engi-neer in the state of Virginia.

Job fairs preferred recruiting methodSuccess depends on how job seekers market their skills

By David Smith, Jr.Special to the ESSAYONSJob Fairs are quickly

becoming the preferredrecruiting method for

employers of all sizes. Compa-nies and agencies are able toreach a large number of jobseekers in a short span of timeand best of all, in a singlelocation. This recruiting vehiclewill continue to grow and we willsee job fairs advertised morefrequently in all communities.

Job seekers need to beprepared to market their skillseffectively to these job fairemployers. When I think of jobfair preparation, I think of theword "Success". Success as itrelates to the job fair processmeans the following: S: standsfor Strategy - you must have afair strategy to effectivelymarket your credentials. Thisstrategy doesn't need to becomplicated or complex,justanswer the following question:

What do I want to achieve as aresult of this job fair? Then write ashort plan to outline the step bystep procedures you will have tofollow in order to reach your goal.

The U in success stands for"Uniform", the level of dress thatwill be required for the job fair.Ask yourself what professionalattire do I need to wear in order toachieve my goal? Depending onthe job position you have targetedyou may be required to wear abusiness suit or maybe a nice pairof pants, or skirt and a nice shirt orblouse. Research the job positionand organizations in the field todetermine this level of dress.

The first C in success standsfor "Correspondence". Ensure thatyou have an effective resume tohand out at the job fair. If you areunsure of the position you areapplying for or if you want toapply for a number of positions,leave the objective off yourresume. This is known at a job fairresume. If you are sure of thepositions you are applying for then

prepare a number of targetedresumes for the event.

The second C in successstands for "Confidence". Youmust have confidence when youprepare for and enter the site ofthe job fair. You have to believein yourself in order to marketyour skills to any employer oryou will have a difficult timenavigating through the employ-ment market.

The E in success stands for"Enthusiasm". You must have anintense desire to achieve your jobfair goal by marketing your skillsto each employer with enthusi-asm. Let the employer know whatyou are after and do it withinspiration. Employers arelooking for highly motivatedemployees who are good problemsolvers.

The second S in successstands for "Selling". Everythingthat you do at the job fair in-volves selling your image andmarketable skills. You will beobserved by employers from the

time you enter the job fair untilthe time you leave the facility.Always be conscious of this factand remain professional through-out the event rather you arestanding in line or interviewingwith an employer.

The third and last S insuccess stands for "Success". Ifyou follow the above steps in the"Success" process this is thefeeling you will achieve whenreviewing the numerous joboffers that will come your way asyou professionally market yourskills at the job fairs you attend.Having a strategy, dressing in theright uniform, handing out theright correspondence (resume),displaying confidence, andenthusiasm, selling your imageand marketable skills, will resultin career and job search success.Enjoy your next job fair withsuccess.

HEADQUARTERSU.S. Army Engineer Center and Fort Leonard Wood

Office of the Commanding General

November 4, 1997

To The Fort Leonard Wood Community:

I want to thank the personnel of Fort Leonard Wood and express my

sincere appreciation for your support during the Fall 1997 Combined Federal

Campaign. This year, once again, you have shown that you "Care Enough to

Share" by unselfishly giving to those in need.

You have contributed more than $330,000 to many different national and

local charitable organizations. Those few minutes that you took to complete

your pledge cards will mean meals for hungry children, relief for families during

a crisis, further work on cures for diseases, environmental protection, and

renewed hope for millions of people in our global community. The donations

you provided, money which could have easily been used for self and families,

will help someone you may never meet or support a cause that you may never

need. Your thoughtfulness and generosity is overwhelming.

Again, I extend my personal thanks to you, the exceptional soldiers and

civilians of Fort Leonard Wood. Without you the Combined Federal Campaign

would not be possible. )

New TDA being drafted by I)M here to prepare for changesBy Elaine SampsonESSAYONS Staff

When the Military Policeand Chemical Schools arrive

from Fort McClellan, Ala., the

installation's personnel andequipment needs will change.

To help prepare for thosechanges, the Directorate of

Resource Management (alongwith Fort Leonard Wood and

Fort McClellan) is preparing a

new Table of Distribution and

Allowance, said Brent Formy-

Duval. chief manaement and

tanpower analysis division forDRM.

A TDA records the manpower

and equipment required and

authorized for each activity, he

explained.

The TDA also establishes

Military Police and Chemical

School Brigades, consolidates

combat and training developments

from the three schools, and

consolidates the Noncommis-

sioned Officer Academies, saidFormy-Duval.

The first draft of the fiscalyear 2000 Maneuver SupportCenter TDA will be shared withFort Leonard Wood and FortMcClellan by mid-November,said Formy-Duval. TheMANSCEN TDA will becompleted after the installationreceives manpower guidancefrom the Training and DoctrineCommand in mid-December,concluded Formy-Duval.

Environmenally frienly disposalChipper used to convert leav es,downed trees, broken leaves intomulch for landscaping here

Story and photo by Kim BrownESSAYONS Staff

s we approach the 21st century, it hasbecome increasingly evident that inhabit-ants of Earth must be more sensitive to the

environment. Fort Leonard Wood has adopted anenvironmentally friendly way of disposing of leaves,

downed trees, and broken limbs.The post acquired a "chipper" three years ago

that converts the downed trees, broken limbs, and

leaves into mulch. The mulch product is used onpost in areas such as the troop units and family

housing.The "chipper" is mounted on a trailer and is

powered by a six-cylinder motor. It is equipped with

a 36-inch blade (in diameter). The wood products arefed in at an angle, which allows them to be chopped

up into mulch."Mulch is used in landscaping. It holds moisture

in the summertime and cuts down on the growth of

weeds. That lowers trimming that must be done. This

is the mulch that is available to family housing

occupants at self help," said Glen Arrington, plants

and base service manager for Rust Constructors Inc.

( formally Harbert Yeargin).Other benefits derived from mulch include the

nutrients it produces for plants and that it is less

expensive than fertiiizer.'When wood chips rot they feed the soil just

like a fertilizer creating a rich soil," Arrington

explained.The chipper also saves money.

"Not only is the chipper desirable because of itsenvironmental impact, it saves money. Before we hadit, we were buying $8,000 to $ 10,000 worth of mulch

per summer. The chipper cost $15,000, so it saves usmoney," said Dan James, landscape architect at theDirectorate of Public Works here.

"Right now we have a large stock pile of mulchdue to BRAC (the base re-alignment and closure

project). Many trees had to be removed for theconstruction. There is about 1,000 to 1,200 cubic

yaids of mulch in this pile... A dump truck holds fivecubic yards of mulch. The biggest demand for mulchis in the spring. We will go through 1,000 cubic yards

on post by the end of summer," James said.

Influenza immunizations for military,high-risk retiree, pediatric population

eneral Leonard WoodArmy Community Hospitalbegan admnistering the flu

vaccination here since Oct. 20.However, the flu vaccinations

are being administered at differentdates, times, and locations arescheduled for eligible militarypersonnel, high-risk retirees, andpediatric personnel.

and one soldier to annotate the

roster during the unit's time ofimmunization.

A make-up period is sched-

uled for mid-December to immu-nize active duty personnel not

present during their unit's

scheduled time due to leave or

temporary duty assignments.

For high-risk retirees and thepediatric population, the flu

vaccine has been administeredsince Oct. 20.

Immunizations will be given atthe General Leonard Wood Army

Community Hospital ImmunizationClinic on a walk-in basis, Mondaythrough Friday, from 0800-1130and 1300-1600.

All patients should report tothe Allergy/Immunization Recep-tion area, Internal Medicine Clinic,Room 519(5th floor). After formcompletion, patients will report tothe Immunication Clinic to receivethe vaccine. Patients receivingthe vaccine must remain in theClinic for 20 minutes for observa-tion of any adverse reactionsoccurring as a result of theirimmunization

All pediatric patients willreceive the vaccine by prescrip-tion only. Children 9 and olderreceive one (0.5m1) dose. Children8 and younger receive two (0.25ml) doses, one month apart. Ifthere is a question of whether achild is high risk, parents cancontact their primary care pro-vider.

Battle buddy broters at OSUT hereBoth join military for similarreasons at same time, placeStory and photo by Elaine SampsonESSAYONS Staff

Battle buddies going through one-Station-UnitTraining are supposed to be there for eachother through thick and thin-a bond built

like that of biothers.

For one set of oSUT trainees, the brotherhoodbond was established before they even arrived atFort Leonard Wood.

Pvt. Bradley Miles, 21, and Pvt. Jeremiah.Miles,18, are biological brothers and battle buddies with A

Company, 35th Engineer Battalion.Both Bradley and Jeremiah joined the National

Guard for college money."Jeremiah was joining, I saw that he was getting

a lot of money for college and thought it was a goodidea," said Bradley.

Both brothers also enlisted with the samerecruiter, got stationed at the same installation, andcoincidentally got assigned to the same company.

Jeremiah. who explained being apprehensiveprior to coming to OSUT training, is happy to havesomeone to talk to.

"I was relieved, I did not want to be split up,"said Bradley.

Although the two did not choose each other asbattle buddies, both ended up together since they

share bunk beds that are arrangedalphabetically.

The two explained that theyenjoy being buddies.

"It is nice to have someoneyou know going through the same

thing you are," said Jeremiah."I will remember this for my

whole life," stated Bradley, whofeels that their experiences willbring them closer as brothers.

"This was something hardto do and we did it together,"Jeremiah added.

For Jeremiah, his role as abattle buddy ended up being alittle more strenuous than usualwhen Bradley broke his leg duringan Army Physical Fitness Test.Jeremiah stepped in and helpedBradley make it through the twoweeks of training he would haveotherwise missed,

Bradley, who would havebeen recycled if he missed thetraining, explains his frustration.

"I felt pretty bad, becausehe would have to be restarted andmeet new people," said Jeremiah.

"I felt bad about leavinghim here, I did not want to quit onhim," concluded Bradley.

Bradley's determinationcombined with Jeremiah's helpmade it possible for the two to

., stay together with only one weekleft until graduation.

Takea Wal ontheBy Kim BrownESSAYONS Staff

oyotes, foxes, groundhogs, deer, skunks,

raccoons, possums and minks are just a fewexamples of the wildlife that coexists with the

people who live and work on Fort Leonard Wood.The total land area on post is 62,9 I1. The MarkTwain National Forest, which largely accounts forthe abundance of wildlife on post, surrounds theinstallation on three sides.

For the most part, the coexistence is peaceful,causing few problems for either man or beast.However, there are times when disharmony canoccur. For instance, there are about 20 collisionsinvolving deer and automobiles on post each year.

Other problems include things like "horneinvasions." Animals such as moles, groundhogs,skunks, and other small animals will enter throughcrawl spaces seeking shelter, said post chief gamewarden Robert Struckmeier.

Moreover, some of the wildlife on post can posea danger to pets.

"Once I saw a coyote carrying something in itsmouth. As I approached it, he dropped it and ranaway It turned out to be a newborn puppy," he

recalled.The wild canine had no intentions of adopting

this pup as his own. The puppy was destined to bethe coyote's next meal.

Those that live and work on post need to beaware that the wildlife is here and that they need notfear it.

"Some people get all excited when they see acoyote and call us. When you see wildlife, just watchand enjoy it. For the most part, if you don't bother it,it won't bother you," he said.

Many species of wildlife are chiefly active at

night. Among the post's nocturnal inhabitants are

skunks, possums, moles, mink and groundhogs.They seek shelter during the day and use the twilight

hours to forage for food.There is a herbivore that even has a day, which

is set aside in its honor. That is Groundhogs Day.Legend says that if a groundhog sees its shadow onFeb. 2, winter will continue for six more weeks. In theevent it does not then spring can commence. Thegroundhog is a fur-bearing animal with an especiallythick and tough hide. Native Americans knew thisand used the groundhogs durable hide for the solesof their moccasins..

Some peopleget all excitedwhen they see acoyote and callus. When yousee wildlife, justwatch and enjoyit. For the mostpart, if you don'tbother it, it won'tbother you."

Robert StruckmeierGame warden

There seems to be more wildlife scrambling

around post than before, said Struckmeier. This does

not necessarily mean there has been an increase in

the population of the animals. Some wild residents

on post have been served with eviction notices.

Many of the animals had chosen to seek shelter

under the old World War 11 barracks on post that

have been demolished recently, Struckmeier added.

"It was warm shelter for them. Wildlife like foxes,

ground hogs, skunks and the like used the buildings

as dens. Once there was a famil'y of foxes that lived,

under there and in the evening they would bring the

little ones out to play," he said.

Struckmeier warned that people need to realizethese are wild animals and that they can create

problems by feeding them. When wildlife becomes

accustomed to getting free meals from humans, the

animals can become an aggressive nuisance. They

are wild and should be left wild, he explained.Appealing as some of the animals may be, it is

not a good idea to try to domesticate them. They

can't be vaccinated and may carry dangerous

diseases. Skunks are especially prone to being rabies

carriers, though they may not exhibit any obvious

symptoms. Skunks are nocturnal animals that feed

heavily on insects, and enter the cantonment areas at

night in search of bugs attracted to night-lights, he

added.Other forms of wildlife also proswl cantonment

areas looking for food. It is not a good idea to leave

dog food out at night as it entices animals such as

coyotes, foxes, and raccoons. Wild animals areopportunistic and will take what they can get,

explained Struckmeier.

Lastly, Struckmeier cautions that "spotlighting"is illegal both on post and in the state of Missouri. In

the past people have taken high-powered spotlightsout at night just to observe the wildlife. Favorite

spots for this activity are the golf course and along

the Big Piney River. Even if the aim is not to hunt,

such activity is illegal."We want to warn people of this law because some

may not be aware that it is illegal," he said.Wildlife is a beautiful part of nature. But we all

must exercise responsibility when observing it. We

must be aware of the possible detrimental effects

humans can impose on the natural order of things in

the wild.

Foxes have a single mate and usually pair for life.

Raccoons are known for their mask-like markings on the face.

Coyotes are known for their eerie howls, usually heard during thee vena, night, or early morning.

DoD forums seek public comments ontransfer of military rangesAmerican Forces Press Service

Public comments on rules for environmentallysafe transfers of military training ranges to civilian

use are invited at a series of DoD regional meetingsstarting this month.

The first forums were held Oct. 22 in Jackson-ville, Fla., and Wednesday in Baltimore. Other

meetings will be held Wednesday in Kansas City,Mo., and Dec. 10 in Reno, Nev. All will be from 3 to 9

p.m. local time.The services are giving up ranges previously

used for ordnance training and weapons testing as

part of the base realignment and closure process and

other transfer arrangements The forums will examine

potential environmental impacts of issuing a "RangeRule" vs. alternatives and will help decision makersassess resulting plans.

"Years of day-to-day experience in managing

environmental programs have taught us many

valuable lessons," said Sherri W. Goodman, deputy

undersecretary of defense for environmental secu-

rity. "One of the most important lessons is that

public involvement is key to our overall success."

The meetings will include exhibits and get-

acquainted sessions with the DoD Range Rule team,

composed of technical, legal, health and safety

specialists. Question and answer periods throughout

the day will become part of the public record.

The forums will also give the public the chance

to review and comment on an environmental impact

statement to be prepared in connection with the

rules.Future forum locations are::J Kansas City - Crowne Plaza Hotel, 4445 Main

St.; (816) 531-3000.

Environmental training support centerchanges name to reflect new missionArmy News Service

A new name, and a little extra. The U. S. Army

Corps of Engineers' Environmental Training SupportCenter became the Army Environmental AwarenessResource Center Oct. 1, 1997.

"We do indeed support environmental training,but our scope has widened along with the needs of

the modern Army, and we wanted a name that

reflects what we actually do," said Mary Hodgens of

the center's information team.The center offers numerous environmentally-

related support services and products to the Depart-ment of the Army Headquarters, Army EnvironmentalCenter, Corps of Engineers, and Army installations.Services include support for environmental trainingand awareness, assistance with resources and sourcelists, and project management services.

"Personnel are always available to answerinquiries onenvironmental awareness and training and fillrequests for off-the-shelf and custom trainingmaterial," promised Hodgens.

Products include developing printed materialssuch as brochures, soldiers field cards, Rolodexcards, placards, posters, diagrams and stickers.Creation of videotape presentations, from scriptingand editing, to voiceovers and duplication, is alsopart of the Center's environmental awarenessmission.

"Installations or activities pay only the directcost of reproduction and distribution of projects, andmany of our products are free. Salaries and overheadare on us, except for contracts required for videoproduction," said Hodgens.

Medical care summary

All Army hospitals areaccredited by the Joint Commis-sion on Accreditation of HealthCare Organizations. Army hospi-tals' average scores have ex-ceeded the national average forthe past six years.

Eighty-eight percent of Armyphysicians who have completedtheir residency training havepassed the exams to be BoardCertified, a higher rate thancivilian health maintenanceorganizations which average 79percent board certification amongprimary-care physicians and 82percent among specialists,according to a study by U.S.News & World Report magazine(Oct. 13, 1997).

The same U.S. News andWorld Report study also showsvery favorable comparison for themilitary system as opposed to topcivilian HMOs in other areas suchas preventive medicine (childimmunizations, prenatal care,mammograms) and patient satis-faction according to availabledata.

The Army's graduate medicaleducation programs are recog-nized by residency review commit-tees as some of best in thecountry. We have 23 residencyand 59 fellowship graduatemedical programs, with a greaterthan 93 percent board certificationpass rate on the first attempt (wellabove the national average).

Army patients file malpracticeclaims less frequently than dopatients in the civilian system.After adjusting for the SupremeCourt's Feres decision, whichdoes not allow active-dutysoldiers to file claims, the Armyhas had between 9 and 12 suchcases per 100 physicians in recentyears. For comparison, a leadingcivilian malpractice insurer, St.Paul Marine and Fire Insurance,receives 13 to 15 claims per 100physicians annually.

We have an effective systemin place to deal with Army doctorswho do not perform well. Localfacilities conduct risk-manage-ment reviews, and if risks areconsidered significant, the casegoes to the credentials committee,which can recommend that the

facility commander modify orrevoke privileges. The rates ofthese adverse privileging actionsare about the same as amongcivilian medical facilities.

Army physicians are notallowed to see patients until ahospital credentials committee hasverified their qualifications. Thisincludes medical education andcertification as well as valid,current, and unrestricted statelicenses, which physicians arerequired to obtain within a yearafter completing their internships.

We recently discovered that afew active-duty Army physiciansare working under a specialOklahoma license that may berestrictive. As of mid-September1997, we have identified 8 physi-cians, out of more than 4300 in thesystem, who have this speciallicense. Commanders werecontacted and advised that these8 physicians must be immediatelyremoved from clinical dutiespending a review of these speciallicenses.

The Army Medical Depart-ment reports physicians to theNational Practitioners Data Bankwhen claims are paid and when itis determined that standards ofcare were not met by the practitio-ner. We currently have numerousopen cases awaiting informationon legal settlements and/orjudgment notices for these cases.Once this information is provided,expeditious reviews and reports toNPDB will be conducted asappropriate.

Civilian External Peer ReviewPanels, which reviewed over100,000 cases over a 7-yearperiod, concluded that militarycare meets, and often exceeds,accepted standards of care.Specific outcomes, including suchmeasures as infections and othercomplications, are generally lowerin the military than in the civiliancommunity.

We must be careful to takeseriously the problems identified,to not respond defensively, andto not over-react. As usual wemust take a balanced approachand remember that we exist toserve to the best of our ability.We will fix the problems and tellour story-a story of qualitymedicine, practiced by dedicated

professionals. (The summary ispart of a commentary by ArmySurgeon General, Lt. Gen. RonaldBlanck.)

Veterans Day message

On Veterans Day we honorthe service and sacrifice of themen and women who haveproudly worn the uniform of theUnited States military. Since theRevolutionary War, in times ofpeace and in times of conflict,more than 42 million of America'ssons and daughters have servedin our Armed Forces. Throughtheir unflagging efforts, ourNation remains the world'sstrongest force for peace, free-dom, and democracy.

This year marks the 50thAnniversary of the Marshall Plan,perhaps the greatest strategy ofpreventive defense in modernhistory. Conceived by a soldier,General George C. Marshall, Jr.,the Marshall Plan rekindled hopefor reconciliation and reconstruc-tion in post-World War IIEurope. In the wake of devasta-tion, the commitment of theUnited States to help Europeanshelpthemselves provided a noblefoundation for peace and prosper-ity that we continue to build ontoday. With the end of the ColdWar and the fall of the BerlinWall, America is again offeredopportunities of engagement inbolstering democratic institutionsand extending the circle ofsecurity. The individuals whomake up the United States Armywill continue to play a key andhistoric role in that effort.

For 222 years, our military hasdefended the interests andfurthered the ideals of our "GreatExperiment," the United States ofAmerica. The global arena haschanged greatly during the lasttwo centuries, and our ArmedForces have changed with it. Inthe face of change, however, oneconstant remains-the unfailingvalor, dignity, and courage of ourpatriots in uniform. From ValleyForge to Desert Storm, from SanJuan Hill to Operation Joint Guard,the spirit and selfless serviceof the American soldier shinebrightly in the annals of history.(The above is a joint messagefrom the Honorable Togo D. WestJr., Secretary of the Army, andGeneral Dennis J. Reimer, ArmyChief of Staff.)

D delegation delegations on hand forCENTRAZBAT'97 notonly observed the Central

Asian Battalion training but got a first-hand look --and taste -- of the region's history and culture.

From the moment it arrived Sept. 13, the DoDdelegation led by Katherine Kelleher was treated to arich tapestry of exotic locales and tantalizing treats bythe enthusiastic hosts in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.Kelleher, deputy assistant secretary of defense forRussia, the Ukraine and Eurasia, graciously acceptedthe hospitality. By the end of her week-long visit,however, she and everyone had that plaintive look intheir eyes that seemed to say, "Please, no more food."

The venues were as tantalizing as the menus,ranging from the mayor's mansion in ancientSamarkand to urtas (large shepherd's tents lined withcolorful silk and wool carpets) in a Kazak village.

Modern buses whisking the delegates from placeto place shared the narrow highways with herds ofcattle, goats, even camels. Sometimes, it appearedentire communities turned out to see and greet thevisitors. At one stop, an American lieutenant colonelwith a Polaroid camera took pictures of the children,then parceled them out to the eager youngsters withoutstretched hands.

Entering Samarkand on the ancient Silk Road inUzbekistan, the entourage passed the ruins of amountaintop fortress built by Alexander the Great andlearned about Ulugh Beigh, a 15th century scientist andIslamic heretic who developed the world's largestsextant. Earlier this century, an 11-meters long sectionof the sextant was discovered in the ruins of thescientists' observatory and now is on display.

Here also the group viewed the splendor of Bi BiHanym, a 15th century mosque also called the BigFriday Mosque. Uzbek Muslims consider the site asecond Mecca - two visits in a year count as onesojourn to Islam's holiest city, at far less expense toeconomically strapped Uzbekies. Eleveni of 24 mosquesbuilt in Samarkand between the 14th and 17th centuriesremain standing, punctuated by an 1 Ith centurymineret.

Even the events surrounding th'ercise-itselfexposed the delegations to the Central Asian culture.At opening and closing ceremonies, first inKazakhstan, then Uzbekistan, musicians performed andyoung men and women displayed their prowess onhdrseback.

More than once, they showed off a favorite gamecalled "Catch the Girl." In the game, a young woman

gallops off upon herhorse, chased by ayoung man also onhorseback. The objectis for the boy to catchup with the girl andkiss her while bothremain at full gallop. Ifhe doesn't accomplishthe feat in a quartermile, the girl becomesthe pursuer. Catchingup to the boy, shethen beats him on theback repeatedly with a

Not to be outdone,members of the 82nd Airborne ran from their file acrossthe field to join in, and the attention in the reviewingstand soon shifted from the stage to the field.

Toward the end of the show, hundreds ofsoldiers from the United States and several CentralAsian republics stood arm in arm, swaying slowly tothe music in a gesture of friendship and mutualrespect.

Surprising chan eBy Douglas GillertAmerican Forces Press ServiceAs the air-conditioned tour bus bobbed

and swayed along the narrow, unevenhighway leading south out of Kazakhstan,

Army Col. Ralph Bruner recalled a 9-year-old conver-sation.

"In January 1988, my office mate and I wonderedaloud when the Berlin Wall would come down,"Bruner said. "We agreed it would be at least 10years. It's now 1997, and the wall has been downseven years."

Bruner's point was there's no way he could haveconceived being a U.S. Army officer in 1997 baseddeep within geographic space formerly controlled bythe Soviet Union. Conceding shortsightedness,Bruner said he's delighted to serve as defenseattache in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan.To him, it means simply this:

The Central Asians also want to continue larger-scale activities. "When they feel they are ready, theywould like to be called upon to perform a UnitedNations' mission," Bruner said. To attain this goal,the republics want to expand the battalion to brigadesize.

Whatever its eventual size, the Central Asian;w! force and DoD will follow up the latest exercise with

Fort Polk, La., and Cooperative Osprey at Camp Lejeune,N.C. As in past exercises, they will meld lessons they

learn with their experiences under Soviet rule, Brunersaid.

All Central Asian republics had some basis for amilitary force left over after the Soviet pullout, theattache said. This includes Soviet aircraft, tanks andother equipment. Many of the republics' military offic-ers formerly served as Soviet officers. Kazakhstan alsowas the site of scores of Soviet nuclear missiles thathave been dismantled and removed.

The republics' challenge today, Bruner said, is tobuild militaries they believe best suit their needs. ForKazakhstan - and the others - this probably meansa blend of Soviet and U.S. operational styles. Bruner'sjob entails representing DoD's interests, including es-tablishing an NCO corps in the Kazakhstani military.

"The system of noncommissioned officers we havein the United States, Great Britain, Germany and otherWestern militaries didn't exist in the Soviet military anddoesn't exist here," Bruner said. "But Kazakhstan hastaken steps to develop such a corps and broke groundlast year for an NCO academy."The United States will help train an NCO cadre that cantrain other NCOs in the Kazakhstani military, he said.

The need for a noncommissioned officer corpsarose from a defense ministry mandate to improveKazakhstani soldiers' lives.

"One of the possible advantages of an NCO corpsis to have a group of experienced sergeants who under-stand the lot of soldiers and are sympathetic to them butwho also deal with officers and have to carry out theirorders," Bruner said. The NCOs could help the officers-- traditionally detached from soldiers.- better under-stand and appreciate soldiers needs, Bruner said.

A former minister of defense also sought to end thepractice of hazing soldiers, carried over from Sovietdays. A 1995 report from Kazakhstan's attorney general'soffice revealed 100 soldiers had died at the hands ofcomrades or superiors during the preceding year.

"I find the fact of the statement an extremely wel-come sign of openness," Bruner said. "They have takenimportant steps to eradicate hazing. If it isn't eliminated,the military and state leaders know full well the army willnot improve. This is maybe the most fundamental thingthey are doing."

Besides improving the way soldiers are treated,Kazakhstan would like to make military service volun-tary. "It's mandatory now, but not everyone is calledup," Bruner said. "The country wants to get to the pointwhere it has a sufficient tax base to pay for at least apartly volunteer force."

Women are among the military volunteers the coun-try would seek, Bruner said. Currently, uniformedKazakhstani women serve mostly in a limited area of

specialties - linguists and nurses, for example. How-ever, some older women trained and served under the

Soviets in specialties normally held by men. In fact, oneof Kazakhstan's most experienced parachutists is awoman in her late 30s, with some 4,000 jumps to hercredit, Bruner said.

"The Kazakhstan military is open-minded aboutwomen," he said, "but they haven't fully developed

their ideas about what roles women should play in thefuture."

While the Kazakhstani military finds its own way in

the new world order, the United States has some pri-mary hopes for the region, Bruner said. "We're inter-ested in the independence of Kazakhstan and all theserepublics. We're interested in regional stability, andwe're interested in nonproliferation of nuclear weap-ons and weapons of mass destruction.

"We're interested in those things that will lead toa more peaceful relationship between these states anda greater manifestation of democracy within their gov-ernments."

DPW on all post reconstruction projects. The post

office will decide whom their contract goes to, he

explained.Mosley Construction began the project Oct. 1 by

stripping the interior of the building. The electrical

system in the building is being completely replaced so

that each activity can be individually metered, he con-

tinued.The $400,000 construction project should take ap-

drill sergeants appreciate their new issue."I haven't picked it up yet, but I think it's a good

idea. It shows that somebody supports us," said Sgt.

Koegler explained that receiving the award here

was special because his time here has been the highlight

of his career, so far."I was very proud. First I was surprised, and proud

to receive the award. It was great for me to receive it

here," said Koegler.After being at Fort Leonard Wood for more than

five years, Koegler feels that he is really a part of the

post community.Koegler joined the German Army Corps of Engi-

neers in 1970. His prior assignments in Koblenz, Germany,

include operations sergeant, platoon leader and senior

NCO. His assignment on Fort Leonard Wood began in

1992.

0 Post employee travelsto D.C. for women'smemorial dedicationBy Kim BrownESSAYONS Staff

mong the estimated crowd of30,000 at the Women in MilitaryService in America Memorial

dedication Oct. 1 8 was a Fort Leonard Woodcivilian employee who retired from the Armyafter serving 20 years. The memorial, which isat the entrance of Arlington National Cem-etery, honors the 1.8 million women that haveserved their country since the RevolutionaryWar.

"It is great that the nation has finallyrecognized that females were part of militaryhistory. Excitement just filled the air, it wasawesome to be a part of the dedication," saidDarlene Graves, an office automation clerk atthe Civilian Personnel Advisory Center.

Graves retired two years ago as a staffsergeant (promotable). "I loved being in theArmy. The sense of discipline, respect,security, and the organized way of life were allthings that made me enjoy being in the

Army," said Graves.Graves was in the company of thousands ofother women that share her sentiments aboutthe military. Among them was a 101-year-oldveteran of World War I, Frieda Hardin. Hardinserved in the U.S. Navy from 1918 to 1920. Notonly did the centenarian attend the event, sheaddressed the crowd.

"....To those young women who may bethinking of a career in the military service, Isay go for it you will find a world of opportu-nities waiting for you," Hardin exclaimed.

Not only did women veterans attend thededication, but there were many men therealso. "The men came to show respect for thesupport they received during the war," saidGraves.

"Some of the women came wearing theirold uniforms. Fascinating stories were toldabout why they entered the service. Itbrought out energy and pride in the women. Itwas wonderful to be a part of it," Graves said.

Dignitaries on hand for the dedicationincluded; Vice President Al Gore and wife,Tipper. Also Attorney General Janet Reno,Defense Secretary William Cohen, Army Chiefof Staff Gen. Dennis Reimer and Secretary ofthe Army Togo West were present for thededication.

Easy tips to help safeguard your familyI Determine if

your home isemotionally safeBy 'Ted NicholsSpecial to ESSAYONS

There is no better way toend a day than to "headhome." That's how most of

us feel. We are safe there. Home iswhere we hang our hat, let downour guard and refresh our spirit. Weknow that Dorothy was right,"There's no place like home!"

Yet, strong locks on the doorswill not keep out every danger. Ifyour home is emotionally unsafe, itmay be quite a scary place to go.

Could your home ormarriage be emotionally unsafe?The furniture is all in place -- the

rooms are lovingly decorated.Photos of a smiling family areeverywhere. But is your home safe?Take the quiz below. It can help you

uncover and recognize possible

sources of emotional danger in yourmarriage and family relationships

How many of these potentiallyhigh risk behaviors are prevalent inyour home or existed in either youor your spouse's family of origin?O Members of this family, ingeneral, are hesitant to speak freelyabout their feelings.Q Members walk oin eggshellsaround a certain family member.Q The family seems more like agroup of individual islands.U The feelings of one person tendto dominate the entire family.Q When asked how they feel,family members tend to respondwith what they think.Q This family seems to be emotionally crisis prone. It is frequently inemotional upheaval.Q Members of this family tend tocommunicate how they feel towardone another by expressing it to athird family memberQ Members generally tend to look

to only one family member to getemotional needs met.

Emotional safety in yourhome is determined by whathappens when feelings are ex-pressed. Ask yourself thesequestions:U Is the response usually nega-tive'?1. Family members turn away ortune out the person speaking(withdrawal and ignoring).2. Emotions are readily discounted("you don't really feel that way." or"You're just too sensitive.")3. Hostility and anger are expressed.4. Shared feelings are used later toblackmail the person.U Do emotional reactions go toextremes?1. No emotion is expressed (oneextreme).2. Only positive or always negativeemotions are expressed (anotherextreme).3. Emotions dominate reason--theyare constantly too intense.4. Emotional distancing shows upas a lack of attention: (She says:"The kids and I found this reallyneat place to skate today." He says,"That's fine, Honey. What did youand the kids do today?")5. One person's emotions aredependent upon the emotions ofanother family member (unhealthyemotional dependency).U Are emotions used as tools orweapons?1I Pouting, blame and withdrawalare all tools of emotional manipula-tion. When used on a child, this isnot only unsafe, it is an abuse ofpower and authority.

2. Manipulation is an indirect wayto communicate feelings. [A muchbetter way is to be direct by using

"I Statements." For example: "I feel(state feeling) when you (statebehavior)because (state effects on you)." " Iwould appreciate it if you would(state requested behavior change)."3. Anger--. a healthy emotion-is

used in the family as an aggressiveway to control.4. Emotions expressed indirectly arealso unsafe. (Children tell mom theirfrustrations about Dad. Mom tellsDad. Dad responds to Mom withhow he feels about the children.Mother translates this message tothe children.) This ruins bondingbetween the father and his children.U Five Common Emotional Mis-takes1. Assuming that healthy emotionalcommunication is automatic. It isn't.Unhealthy patterns, often learnedas we grow up, must be identified,dismantled and replaced with newhealthy emotional patterns.2. Assuming current emotionalpatterns are acceptable withoutevaluation. Unnoticed inter-generational patterns may bekeeping your home "unsafe."3. Assuming someone should

automatically know how you feel.("You should have known I wouldfeel that way!" is a commonlyexpressed emotional fallacy.)4. Not taking responsibility forwhether we do or do not expressour feelings. ("I'm just not good atit.")5. Blaming someone else for how wefeel. ("He made me so mad!")Actually no one can make you mad.You choose to be mad. You are stillin control.U Five Characteristics of a SafeHome1. Family members don't blame eachother for their emotional shortcom-ings. They gain intimacy byworking together on emotionalissues.2. Family members don't defend ordeny their inappropriate emotionsor failure to express emotion. Theylisten to what others say and when

they learn that a particular emo-tional expression is hurting some-one else, they stop it.3. Responsible love is practiced.Family members want what is bestfor everyone in the family, includingthemselves. They don't allowinappropriate emotions to beexpressed because this also affectsthe person who is expressingemotions responsibly.4. Family members are quick toforgive. The forgiven are quick tochange.5. The only eggshells in the homeare around real eggs. All familymembers know what they arefeeling and are comfortable talkingabout how they feel. No onerepresses feelings for fear ofreprisal.(Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Nichols is the

director of the Chaplain Famiily LifeCenter.)

Secretary of Defense spot lightsimportance of military familiesO2 Declares Nov.23-29 Family LifeWeek for DoDBy Ted NicholsSpecial to ESSAYONS

Fort Leonard Wood and thesurrounding community willcelebrate Family Life Week at

Fort Leonard Wood from Nov. 23-29. The week of Thanksgiving istraditionally the time for reminis-cence, gratitude, and enjoyment ofour families. A myriad of programsare planned that will provide ourfamilies opportunities to learn andgrow and capitalize on the time theyspend together.

"I am please to designate theweek of Nov. 23 as "Military FamiliesAppreciation Week" in the Depart-ment of Defense. It is fitting, during

the week of Thanksgiving, we givespecial tribute and thanks to ourmilitary families," said William Cohen,secretary of Defense.

"We take great pride in thesupport of the spouses, children,parents and other family membersof our married and single active andreserve forces," he said. "Thesignificant contributions andpersonal sacrifices they make everyday of the year are invaluable to themission and to the morale of ourarmed forces.

"Frequent moves and extendedfamily separations make military andfamily life unique and challenging.In recognition of that, we arecontinuously working to improvethe quality of life for the militarycommunity," Cohen said. "Iencourage our military members andtheir families to take full advantageof the many local community and

family support programs we havedeveloped over the years. Theseprograms, ranging from excellentrecreational activities to outstand-ing parenting programs, aredesigned to enrich the uniquelifestyle of our military members andtheir loved ones."

Highlight of the week willbe selection of the Fanmily of theYear. If you know of a family thatis a model of family values,

community service, friendship andpatriotism worthy of distinction,maybe its time they deserve somerecognition.

Nomination forms are availablethrough chain of command, unitchaplains or Army CommunityServices.(Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Nichi,!. i. the

enhance life.Thanksgiving is not only a time

for celebrating together over a mealwith friends and family, and a timeof expressing thanks to God for ourmany blessings, but a time ofsharing blessings with others, atime of being a blessing to others. Itcan be a time when families decidehow they will celebrate Holy daysand holidays.

Truly we live in a time whenHoly days and holidays havebecome so commercial and franticwith things to do, that meanings arelost. The Family Advent Gather-ings, Nov. 23 and 30, are eventswhen families can gather to focuson the meaning of Holy days andprepare hearts and homes for them.

Advent is a time of hoping, ofexpectation, of wishing, of longing,of waiting for the activity of Godamong us. It is a time of preparationfor and reflection on the coming ofGod in Jesus Christ in the past, thepresent and the future. It is a time

when we rethink the meaning offorgiveness, hope, peace, joy, andlove in the midst of our time.

Reflecting on and waiting forChrist is like waiting for one'sspouse or parent's return from atour of duty; like waiting for thelight to conquer darkness; likebeing the only one like yourself (oryour family) in a group; like trulynaming our feelings or pain in afamily; like discovering one may bea part of a problem, then repentingand accepting how God wantsthings to be different.

Christ, whom we adore andfollow, incarnated the good news ofGod's forgiveness and love, espe-cially for the poor, the oppressed andthe captive. How then shall wecelebrate God's love during Advent,Christmas and Epiphany? Shouldnot we who are God's families, dofor those who are poor, oppressed,needy, lonely, depressed and ill?Shouldn't we "unplug the Christ-mas machine" and put love and joyback into the season?

Tight was the only way to describe the

action Oct. 27, as the 577th Engineer Battalionfaced off against the 554th Engineer Battalion to

play the game of the week. This was definitely an

intense bout since the first game took 40 minutes

alone to determine the 577th Engineer Battalion

the winner. After that marathon game, 577th

Engineer Battalion must have remembered that

they had another game at 7 p.m., because theytook the second game 15:- 1 in under 20 minutes.

The 577th had just enough time to get a

small rest before beating the ball around with

2nd Battalion 10th Infantry Regiment. The 577th

must have not had enough down time along with

the fact that 2-.10 Infantry played awesome,slamming most of what 577th Engineer Battalion

had to offer right back at them, giving 2-10

Infantry a match win of 15-10 and 15-13.Meanwhile, on the other court, Medical
