ROK-U.S. medical training program graduates 100th cycleBy Steve DavisArea II Public Affairs
YONGSAN It was a private moment quite plainly
in public that showed how bonds and perhaps lifetimefriendships have developed in a unique six-month
military medical training program that just completed
its 100th cycle.
As Capt. U Se-jo, one of six Korean officers in this
landmark cycle, was receiving handshakes after
graduating Friday, he got a bear hug and a friendly pat
on the shoulder from his mentor Maj. Erik Glover,chief of the Patient Administration Division at 121st
General Hospital.
The program, called the Integrated Service of the
Republic of Korea Military Health Care Personnel
Program, was established 50 years ago to facilitate
wartime coordination between the U.S. and the
Republic of Korea military health care support systemin the event of hostilities. Republic of Korea Army
officers, and sometimes personnel from other services,
work with their U.S. counterparts for six months,
sharing expertise and increasing cultural awareness.More than 400 Republic of Korea medical personnel,
including veterinarians, physicians, dentists, nurses and
medical service corps officers have graduated fromthe program.
The graduates of the 100th cycle were: Maj. Kim
Kyeong; Capt. U Se-jo; Capt. Jung Won-hyeong; Capt.
Kim Sung-hye; Capt. Nam Jeong-min and Lt. JG Kim
Yu-na.
They were congratulated by Brig. Gen. Lee Jae-
soon, superintendent of the Korean Armed Forces
Nursing Academy, Col. Brian D. Allgood, commander
of the 18th Medical Command, and a room full ofother medical personnel at ceremonies Friday at the
121st Gen. Hospital.
Ive learned a lot about U.S. units and how
coordination between the Republic of Korea and
American military will help in a wartime situation,
said U, a ROK Army hospital executive officer before
entering the unique training program in February. Inaddition to learning how the 121st Gen. Hospital Patient
Administration Division operates, he participated in
several field training exercises, including mass casualty
and air evacuation exercises.
Glover said the experience was good for both
services.Capt. U is a member of our team, said Glover.
Hes been fully integrated in our decision-making
process and knows how to execute mission tasks.
Program participants get a good insight and a lot of
practical experience in U.S. medical procedures, saidLt. Col. John Beilman, chief of clinical education for
the 18th Medical Command.In the event that we have to transition to war,
many initial services would be provided by the ROK
Army, as well as our MOU facilities, said Beilman.
If they are able to train alongside us, we know the Republic of Korea Army Nurse Capt Nam Jeong-min takespatient Betty Whittingtons temperature at the 121st GeneralHospital Ambulatory Care Clinic.

WASHINGTON As part of its
largest restructuring since World War
II, the Army announced its plan July 27for stationing its active component
modular Brigade Combat Teams.
The plan includes new organizations
being formed and other units being
returned from overseas locations. The
return of the overseas units adds up to50,000 Soldiers and 150,000 family
members being brought back to bases
in the United States.In the end state, the number of active
modular BCTs will increase from 33 to43, enhancing the active Armys combat
power by 30 percent.
The plan was announced at a
Pentagon press briefing conducted bySpecial Assistant to the Secretary of the
Army unveils active BCT stationing plan
Army Raymond F. DuBois and Army
Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Richard Cody.

MONICA BARRERA
Moving the Army to modularity
represents the largest change of our
Army since 1939, Cody said.
He also explained the benefits theArmy and Soldiers will see from the
stationing plan.
What this does for us is it sets up
the footprint of the United States Army,
Cody said. It optimizes the training
areas. Posts, camps and stations are
structured properly for the newweapons systems we have. It sets us
up for some great training opportunities.
I think, over time, the big winners are
going to be our Army families because
we can put a Soldier and his family at a
post, camp or station there, and leave
them there for four to five years.Cody said the Armys modular force
initiative and stationing plan will better
posture the Army to meet its strategic

Commitment keeps marriage strongMP B lo t t e rThe following entries were excerpted from
the past several weeks military police blotters.
These entries may be incomplete and do not
determine the gui l t or innocence of any
person.
! Military Police were notified of a criminal
trespassing, housebreaking and wrongful damage
to government property. Military Police investigators
revealed through investigation that a civilian
unlawfully gained access to an Army garrison by
climbing over the exterior wall and then entered a
building through an unsecured door. Once inside
the building he broke the glass window of an interior
office with a brick that he acquired from the building
grounds, and then unlawfully entered that office in
an attempt to find food and water. Later, three Soldiers
found the subject sitting in a chair. They detained
him until arrival of military police. Upon arrival of the
military police he was escorted to the MP station
where he would not render a written statement, but
verbally admitted to the above offenses. Korean
National Police were called and escorted him to theKNP detachment for processing.. Estimated cost of
damages is $30.
! An anonymous person notified the military police
of an assault. Two Soldiers were involved in a
physical altercation that resulted in the first Soldier
sustaining a laceration under his left eye. MPs
transported the injured Soldier to a local hospital for
treatment of his injuries and for a command-directed
blood alcohol test, with results pending. The other
Soldier was transported to the MP station where he
was further processed and was not advised of his
legal rights due to his suspected level of intoxication.
He declined a portable breathalyzer test and was
transported to a local hospital for a command-directed
blood alcohol test. Both Soldiers were further
processed, released to their units and advised toreport to the MP station at a later date to be advised
of their legal rights. Investigation continues by MPI.
! Korean National Police notified the military police
of an assault. KNP revealed through investigation
that a Soldier threw a half empty can of beer at a
civilian for reasons unknown, causing a one half-
inch laceration to the center of his forehead that
required medical attention. The Soldier was then
apprehended and transported by the KNP to their
police station for processing. Upon arrival of MPs,
the Soldier was released into military custody and
transported to the MP station for further processing.
Due to the Soldiers suspected level of intoxication,
he was not advised of his legal rights. He was then
administered a portable breathalyzer test with a
reported blood alcohol content of .156 percent.Further investigation revealed that the Soldier was
in an off-limits area during the hours of curfew. The
Soldier was then released to his unit. Investigation
continues by MPI and KNP.

Recently, on a Sunday morning
in chapel, I overheard a
conversation on the causes of thehigh rate of divorce in
the military.
Because I work at
the Public Affairs Office
it was suggested that we
should do an articleabout how the high rate
was due more to all of
the exercises going on in
preparation for deployment than the
actual deployment itself.
It really got me to thinking, and
so I decided to put those thoughtsto paper. Remember, the following
opinions are mine and mine alone and
do not represent those of others.I think there is no question that
military life can be hard on a
marriage. The military trains hard,and they train often. There are
plenty of late nights, long
weekends, field exercises that can
last for weeks and deployments.
In preparation for those
deployments, those late nights, long
weekends and field exercises are

vitally essential to the mission andthe very well being of the Soldiers.
I would much rather endure
them and know that if my Soldier
has to be deployed in harms way,
he will do so with the very best
training available under his belt.
Having been married for a little
over 18 years before I lost myhusband in the war on terrorism, I
can tell you that, even on its best
day, marriage takes a lot of work.During those 18 years there was
frustration, heartache, sadness,
resentment and anger. There wasalso joy, elation, happiness,
contentment and peace.
Above all there was
commitment. We made an
agreement early on in our marriage
that divorce would never be an
option for us. Dont get me wrong,
there were plenty of times when
we each secretly had thoughtsabout it but we never voiced it as
an option never brought it up in
conversation.I found the separations due to
exercises and deployments made
me aware of how very much I
missed him when he wasnt aroundand how much I appreciated the
relationship I had with him.
If I had to attribute one thing to
the high rate of divorce in the
military, I would have to say it is
lack of commitment to the
relationship.It isnt the field exercises or
even the deployments. A strong
relationship can withstand even the
most violent of storms but if
there is no foundation it will washaway. Military life will test that
foundation often.Make the commitment to
strengthen the foundation of your
relationship, and you will be able
to weather any storm that comes
your way.(Editors Note: Sherry Orlando
writes for the Fort Campbell
Courier.)
A strong relationship can
withstand even the most
violent of storms -- but if there
is no foundation it will wash
away.

Patriot Soldiers host visiting ambassadorBy Capt. Jennifer Hurrle35th ADA Brigade
OSAN AIR BASE The 35th Air
Defense Artillery Brigade was selected
to represent the United States Armywhen the U.S. Ambassador to Japan,
the Honorable J. Thomas Schieffer,
toured Osan Air Base July 27.
Shieffers visit was one of many the
35th ADA has hosted since assuming
its mission here in December. With firingbatteries stationed at Osan, Suwon,
Gunsan and Gwangju air bases, the
brigades mission is to deter and defeat
enemy tactical ballistic missile attacks.
The 35th ADA attracts attention due
to not only its recent deployment to
Korea but also its progressiveoperations, said 35th ADA Deputy
Commanding Officer, Maj. Nicholas
Bernhardt. The brigade is at theforefront of Army Transformation, he
said. We are currently conducting the
first fire unit rotations in Korea whilecontinuously maintaining We Fight
Tonight readiness.

while allowing it to continue transforming to meet the future
demands of combatant commanders.
He explained the life cycle management of BCTs is stabilizedthrough three-year rotation cycles. The Army will not be
moving its people around as much this will reduce
turbulence in brigades and battalions, Cody said. This will
stabilize forces and provide for more cohesion within brigadecombat teams.
DuBois said the current plan ties perfectly into the Armys
modular initiative, the return of troops from overseas andbase realignment and closure
recommendations.
The selection of the BCT stations was
a deliberate and analytical process,
DuBois said. In this complex set of chess
moves, it shows that Soldiers and family
members remain the centerpiece of theArmy and life will be more predictable
for them.
DuBois said that the plan is a force
stabilizer for Soldiers and family members and directly impacts
their quality of life.
As a key element of the BCT stationing plan, the Army will
implement the Office of the Secretary of Defenses IntegratedGlobal Presence and Basing Strategy analysis
recommendations by returning up to 50,000 soldiers from
overseas locations by the end of the decade.
DuBois said the Army will not lose its presence overseas
but the reduction of more than half of the forces will be a
significant savings to U.S. taxpayers.
Two key recommendations of the analysis include the returnof the 1st Infantry Division to Fort Riley, Kan., and the
relocation of the 1st Armored Division to Fort Bliss, Texas.
The 1st Infantry Division will return in 2006 and the timing
for the return of the 1st Armored Division is under review.
The Army selected locations for the modular BCTs based
on existing and potential capacities, available training space,
and current locations of similar and supporting units.While the modular brigade combat teams follow historic
division and brigade unit naming conventions, these units are
of a completely different design than their predecessors. The
essence of this transformational design is a new force that
can be deployed singularly or in groups ready for
employment in a variety of designs as self-contained modulesover a dispersed area. Essential to the success of this force
will be the use of Armys installations as platforms from which
to rapidly mobilize and deploy military power.
The Army modular force initiative involves the total
redesign of the operational Army into a larger, more powerful,
more flexible and more rapidly deployable force. It movesaway from a division-centric structure to one built around
the Armys new modular combat team.
Additionally, modularity in combination with rebalancing
the type of units will significantly reduce the stress on theforce because of a more predictable rotational cycle, coupled
with much longer dwell times at home station.
This commitment to minimizing the turbulence for Soldiersand families remains a top
priority for the Army senior
leadership. To reinforce this
commitment, during the
stationing of BCTs and
relocation of units, Soldiers
will move with their familiesand family moves will not be
scheduled until the Soldier
redeploys.

Beilman said technology in both
countries is essentially the same, but the
philosophy for providing health care
services such as evacuation, triage and
mass casualty in times of war or peacemay sometimes differ.
Capt. Judy Elsbury, the 121st GeneralHospitals clinical education division
chief, said Korean participants work
closely with their U.S. counterparts in a
variety of medical areas, and become
familiar with U.S. procedures. During
this cycle, three Republic of Korea Armynurses, two medical services officers
and one Republic of Korea Navy
community health officer learned how
121st Gen. Hospital clinical operations,
preventive medicine and intensive care
departments function. Elsbury added
participants had some legal restrictions,
including administering medication and
certain medical procedures.Capt. Nam Jeong-min learned head
nurse and other duties in the 121st Gen.
Hospital Ambulatory Care Clinic.
We dont have a head nurse position
in our ROK Army outpatient clinic, saidNam, a 2000 graduate of the Republic of
Korea Armed Forces Nursing Academyin Daejon. We have physicians and
medics, but no head nurse.
In addition to learning administrative
and triage procedures, Nam was learning
head nurse duties from Capt. David
Herd, the clinics head nurse.
Herd said Nam was the first Republicof Korea Army nurse to work in the
Ambulatory Care Clinic.
Shes done everything from booking
appointments to checking-in and
screening patients to translating for our
many Korean patients, said Herd. Its
been a wonderful experience for all of us.

Soldiers and civilians attended the first make-up session of
Army-mandated ethics training July 28 at the Camp Red CloudTheater.
Secretary of the Army Francis J. Harvey mandated all
Soldiers and Army civilian employees attend the class because
complex ethic issues arise at every level within the Army.Army officials hope an understanding of basic ethics rules
will help people to avoid actions that violate the Uniform Code
of Military Justice and federal law.
This is important training because people have lost their
jobs and Soldiers have received UCMJ action because of ethics
issues, said Capt. Jennifer ONeill, 2nd Infantry Division

! four principles of ethics! Joint Ethics Regulation! U.S. federal statutes concerning fraud, conflicts of interest
and prohibited political activitiesThe CRC training was the first of many sessions, which

The training covered use of government equipment such

emphasized definitions of waste, fraud and abuse.
Brief personal calls are permitted on government
telephones and cell phones, she said. But it comes down to
common sense.Personal calls should be conducted during a lunch break,
she said.
This big thing is we dont want work to not get done
because youre conducting personal calls, she said.
As far as e-mail and internet access by government employees
and servicemembers, ONeill said some access is allowed.What you cannot do is conduct your personal business
on a government computer, ONeill said. You cannot buyor sell things, your house, your car ... you should do that on
a home computer.
ONeill said very strict penalties exist for accessing
pornographic or extremist Web sites on a government computer.
The class also covered accepting and receiving gifts,
misuse of government resources, fund raising, and dealingswith private organizations.
ONeill said commanders and supervisors should ensure
all subordinates, military and civilian, attend the training
before the end of September. The classes will be offered:! Camp Red Cloud Theater: Aug. 11; Sept. 8, 22, 29! Camp Stanley Theater: Aug. 11, 18; Sept. 8, 15, 22, 29! Camp Casey Theater: Aug. 18, 25; Sept.; 1, 8, 15, 22, 29

GOLSANDONG There is only
one way in or out of this small Korean
village nestled in the Camp Caseyfoothills.
Golsandong residents must travelthrough Camp Casey to get to the
outside world.
All 116
residents have
24-hour base
passes, said
Antonio Vicente,U.S. Army
Garrison, Camp
Casey deputy to the garrison
commander. This allows them access
to their homes whenever they need it.
About 100 years ago, Koreans
formed the village near the present-day
H-221 Helipad. When Camp Casey was
built following the Korean War,
residents moved to a valley outside Gate11.
Since then, the small community hasrelied on especially close relations with
the American base.
We have a great
relationship with
the people of
Golsandong, said
Lt. Col. TerryHodges, USAG-
Casey commander.
Right after I arrived at Camp Casey, I
was invited to a birthday party for one
of the village residents. They treated me
like family.
Paek Mun-kwan, 71, was born inNorth Korea. During the war he found
refuge in Golsandong. Today, he is the
towns patriach and oldest resident.
I worked at Camp Casey for many
years, Paek said.
Paeks residence is one of 48 homes
along a one-lane paved road.Most of Golsandongs residents are
older, said Town Chief Kim Kwang-
su. The average age is between 50-60
years old.
Unlike other communities outside
Lt. Col. Terry Hodges, USAG-Casey commander, meets with Golsandong Town Chief KimKwang-su July 25. The village is only accessible through Camp Casey.

Camp Casey, Golsandong is void of
commerce. There are no stores or
restaurants; the village has a community
center, a small Buddhist temple andhomes.
There is a small sign on Camp Casey
pointing to Gate 11, which leads to the
village; however, many Americans may
not have heard of Golsandong.Paek Mun-kwan, 71
The Korean residents have access
only to the Camp Casey road leading
to their village. They cannot use U.S.
facilities at the base.They can sign in overnight guests
for a maximum of three days, Vicente
explained. They can also request
longer passes in certain
circumstances.
Many of the residents work on
Camp Casey, Kim said.
The serene Golsandong lifestyle islimited to small family farms, raising
dogs and livestock, and visiting with
friends and family.
Golsandong residents enjoy the
security of living next to Camp Casey,
Kim said.These are really good people,
Hodges said. I am very pleased how
they welcome us with open arms.
Hodges, a Mississippi native said
in the American venacular, they are
good folk.
I appreciate their friendship,Hodges said. The language barrier is
erased by their kindness.

or mountains of Afghanistan, said 2nd
Lt. Aaron Willard, STB assistant
operations officer.
Most of the casualties in Iraq aresupport units, Willard said. A majority
of these teams out here are support
Soldiers.
The teams covered dry-fire drills
first, and then blank-fire drills. This was
required before they could move onto
the stress fire. Officials scored Soldierson how well they did.
In order to move on, they had to be
validated to ensure they were oriented
properly, had good muscle awareness,
could shoot while walking and running,
shoot around barriers and shoot safely
next to their buddies.The teams did not just show up
hoping they knew what they were
doing, they had prior CQM training to
prepare them for the competition.
Sgt. Jesse Johnson, 2ID combativesand CQM trainer, trained the teams in
the drills June 24. Sgt. Johnson is my
subject matter expert, Willard said. I
cant take any credit without him. If it
wasnt for him, none of this would be
going on.
Out of the 20 Soldiers who went ontothe stress fire exercise, the Warrior
Readiness Center team prevailed.
The purpose is to train the trainer,
the people who did the best on the stress
shoot will be the trainers, he said.
Willard said the training is not unique
to Area I or Korea but is Army-wide.

They are having fun and asking a lot
of questions.
The group entered the Camp
Casey USO and learned how
Soldiers spend their leisure time. Thetour continued to the Hanson Field
House and swimming pool, the base
library, and a visit to the HHD,
USAG-Casey barracks.
Kim Ho-shin, 15, said the camp
was bigger than what he expected.Its a cool place, he said. I liked
the swimming pool.
Kim said he enjoyed the tour and
liked meeting with foreigners. He said
the students came from many
schools, but his school, in Ilsan, is
about an hour from Camp Casey.
This is a chance for them to better

HHD, USAG-Casey, It gets rid of a
stereotype, because they can see whowe really are.
Steen said many of the students
seemed fascinated by the tanks. As
the bus passed by the 2nd Infantry
Division motor pools with rows
upon rows of M1A1 Abrams Main
Battle Tanks, students let out a
collective ahh.I would like to do something like
this again, said Staff Sgt. Lester
James, HHD, USAG-Casey. The
students were so curious about what
we do. They were like sponges,
asking questions about everything.

Dining facilities go to Army-level competitionDining facilities go to Army-level competitionDining facilities go to Army-level competitionDining facilities go to Army-level competitionDining facilities go to Army-level competitionThree Kingdoms Inn, Warner-Patterson DFAC stake bidin Connelly Awards race; hope to win Army-wide honors
YONGSAN Yongsans Three
Kingdoms Inn and Camp Colberns
Warner-Patterson dining facilities havebeen nominated to represent Korea in the
2005 Army-wide Philip A. Connelly
Awards, which judges dining facility and
field kitchen operations.
Three Kingdoms Inn won Korea-wide
honors in the large facility category,
Warner-Patterson in the small.Both dining facilities were rated for
their achievements in customer service,
food preparation, sanitation and
administration.
Described by its dining facility manager
as the premier large dining facility in the
area, Three Kingdoms Inn hosts visitinggenerals, senators and celebrities, as well
as the bulk of barracks-dwelling U.S. and
Korean Augmentation to the U.S. Army
Soldiers. The facility is operated by Pacific
Agricultural Engineers, or PAE, which has
many government contracts worldwide.
Area II Food Advisor Larry Graham,
evaluates every dining facility in Area IIon a quarterly basis along a whole
checklist of items, said Cho Hong-che,
dining facility manager. Three Kingdoms
came out on top for the last quarter of
last year and the first two quarters of thisyear, and won the Korea-wide large facility
competition.
Warner-Patterson, by comparison,
offers a smaller, home-style environment
to Soldiers in the 304th Signal Battalion,
according to Sgt. 1st Class Pearle
Winkey, DFAC manager.
The whole staff works as a team,
said Winkey. We pull a lot of long hoursto give Soldiers a very friendly
atmosphere.
Of two large and seven small dining
facilities in Area II, Three Kingdoms is
the only one open two full hours for each
meal, and also offers four entre items
on the main line and 10 different items onthe short order line.
We strive for excellence in the food
service program, and want to serveSoldiers the best way possible, said Gary
We strive for excellence in
the food service program,
and want to serve Soldiers
the best way possible.
Italiano, project manager.
According to Italiano, the head count
at the DFAC has been increasing, which
he attributes to positive customer
endorsements.
I remember from when I was in theArmy that breakfast is always the bestmeal of the day, he said. It gets you
started and keeps you running, so having
a good one is especially important. If one
Soldier comes in and has a very good
experience, then hell tell his buddies and
more Soldiers will start coming in to thefacility to get the best food and service
possible.
Italiano says that although Interactive
Customer Evaluations on the dining facility
have been at 100 percent, he is always
willing to take suggestions and strive to
improve his program.
Soldiers expect a good meal and a
comfortable environment to eat in, saidItaliano. Id like to think we do that, with
plasma television screens and large seating
area. We try to provide different options
for the KATUSAs, but we also provide a
good short order menu for U.S. Soldiers.
Italianos recognition that KATUSAs are
their majority consideration, with nearly
three times as many KATUSAS signing in
at breakfast than any others.
They seem to try to develop and serve
Korean style food continuously, said Cpl.
Moon Sung-chul, Area II Support Activity.That kind of effort for Koreans, including
KATUSAS, is an admirable deed.
YONGSAN Military police bike
patrols have been pulling duty all over post
since the end of the school year, placing a
new spin on how people look at MPs aswell as giving officers the opportunity for
a little exercise.
Two to four personnel perform this
special duty every day from 11 a.m. to 7
p.m., drawing from a pool of 14 who are
trained for the position. The Soldiers involved
still have regular duties as an MP, but manydont mind the chance to get out of the office,
and many even look forward to it.
A lot of people like it because theres no
glass between you and the public, said
Master Sgt. Dennis Stockwell, provost
sergeant major. Its a community relations
patrol, and so far weve been getting a lot of
good reactions to seeing our military police
out in public during the day.According to Stockwell, this patrol
typically starts the weekend before school
lets out due to the influx of juveniles on the
streets during the day. It is also for this reason
that the DARE program has traditionally been
closely involved with the bike patrol, in orderto give kids a familiar face to talk to.
It becomes a visible deterrent to
crime, said Sgt. Ryan Hebner, bike
patrol noncommissioned officer in
charge. At the same time, were an
approachable source of information for
the public. Some people who havequestions about traffic laws are more
likely to come up to us and talk to us
than they would another MP in a squad
car, and a lot of people express gratitude
to us for being out in the heat.
Another positive aspect of the bike patrol
is that they are much more maneuverable
than traditional transportation and can cover
more territory.
We can do traffic duties and enforcelaws the same as any MP, but the bikes can
also make it in to some places where a vehicle
might not, said Hebner. Its a force
protection measure because it allows us to
see everything thats going on all over post.
Stockwell and Hebner agreed that theprogram has seen much success in the past
and will probably continue to be used for
those summer months when people like tospend time outdoors.
Its a great program, said Hebner.
Were lucky we have such a small
community that were able to cover
everything with just two or three
patrols. Its not resource intensive andits fun to do.

YONGSAN The quarterly
Exceptional Family Member Program
committee meeting was held recently
at the Community Services Building on
Yongsan South Post. The committee
includes representatives from personnelservices, educational, housing, child
and youth services, and medical
agencies and others who help address
the special medical or educational needs
of families.
Alexander Carter, installation EFMP
coordinator, discussed recent eventsthat included the 19th Annual June
Jamboree and the Community Fun Fare
held in late April. Carter said about 500
people attended the Community Fun
Fare and more than 300 volunteers, 130
children and 55 parents attended theJune Jamboree, which included
bowling, swimming, games and a picnic.
Both events were a great success
and we appreciate everyones
participation, said Carter.
According to Ralph Ford, special
needs advisor for the 18th Medical
Command, more than 2,000servicemembers serving in the Republic
of Korea are enrolled in EFMP, even
though their family members may be
elsewhere. He said around 350
command-sponsored families in Korea
are enrolled in the program.
Possible medical conditionswarranting enrollment in the Exceptional
Family Member Program include
insulin-dependent diabetes; high-risk
newborns; sickle cell disease or other
blood disorders; asthma with a history
of hospitalization; Attention DeficitHyperactivity Disorder; a chronic mental
health disorder; persons requiring
adaptive equipment or the use of a
wheelchair or any other chronic medical
condition requiring intensive follow-up
support.
Sponsors of family members with
special educational needs are also
required to enroll in the program.
Enrolled personnel are screened beforegoing overseas to determine medical or
educational needs, or both, of their
family members.
In some cases, services are not
available to support them in Korea and
they cannot be reassigned here, said
Ford. He said health care services forspecial needs families may be available in
larger medical facilities at Yongsan or Osan
or at local Korean hospitals, sometimes
at the servicemembers expense.
EFMP families are required to
periodically reassess their needs, hesaid, especially if they are moving from
one overseas location to another or
extending in Korea under the Assignment
Incentive Program.
According to AR 608-75, which
governs the program, enrolled
servicemembers must update their
EFMP records every three years, or
sooner if medical or educational
conditions change significantly, said
Ford, adding that some changes could
limit assignment options.For instance, if an asthma condition
goes from mild to moderate asthma, it
could limit where a person may be able
to live on the peninsula. That is why
EFMP updates are required, said Ford.
He said required forms for
enrollment, disenrollment and updatesare available at the Exceptional Family
Member Program offices in Building S-
3567 on Yongsan South Post near the
Seoul American High School soccer
field. The office is open 7:30 a.m.- 4:30
p.m. Mon.-Fri. For information, call738-5000. Servicemembers may call
Carter for advocacy, support groups,
or other general questions, at 738-5311.
Area II Public AffairsQuarterly Exceptional Family Member Program meeting held
YONGSAN Fifty-five years of service was
celebrated by the Korean Service Corps in Area II with
separate organization days July 29 on Yongsan SouthPost and Camp Coiner.
The 9th KSC and the 19th KSC companies both
held an organization day featuring a barbecue, sportsand other events to celebrate another year of successful
mission accomplishment.
KSC personnel are contracted Korean employees
who support the U.S. Army during both peace time
and war. During peace time, they serve in various jobs
such as technicians, bus and truck drivers, forklift
operators, carpenters and other occupations required
for base operations and maintenance. They mobilize
and continue to serve even when war breaks out,
driving ambulances, constructing fortifications and
bridges, and tackling other support tasks during war.
The KSC has been in service ever since theoutbreak of the Korean War in 1950, said Chu NakKyu, acting commander of the 19th KSC Co. Today
is a day for our members, in order to show gratitude
for their hard work for the past year and to buoy up
their spirit for another year of dedication.
Special guests included Directorate of Public Works
division chiefs, Kim Chae-O, now retired 19th KSCCompany commander, and Area II Support Activity
Commander, Col. Ronald C. Stephens.
We appreciate the work they do and we want them
to know how important they are to our mission. Its
vital to everything we do, said Stephens. If it wasnt
for this organization and others like it, we wouldnt be
able to operate.Despite hot weather -- with the highest
temperatures reaching 94 degrees Fahrenheit --
everyone took part in the camaraderie.
It is more important that we use this day more
than as just a day of fun and use it as a chance to
promote friendship among our members and build
cooperation to better our mission capabilities, saidKim Yang-gon.
The weather today was unbelievably hot, but I
still took pleasure in that we all got together from
each work place despite busy schedules. I think thisday is important to build teamwork, Han Sung-su,
19th KSC Co.We all had a great deal of fun today and it is
significant that all members of our company who are
spread out through 23 different work sites had a day
to get together and relax, said Kwon Jung-kyu,
commander, 9th KSC Co.
A meal for 250 people including company members and specialguests was prepared by the company with various dishes,including Korean recipes and a beef steak barbecue.
Members of the 9th Korean Service Corps Company held avolleyball tournament to encourage team work and friendshipbetween its members during the June 22 organization day.

YONGSAN The 1st Replacement Company
Movement Platoon is a unit unlike any other. In addition
to helping incoming Soldiers at the airport, platoon
members are also given the task of making the first
impression of Korea to Soldiers.
This small unit of three [Korean Augmentation tothe U.S. Army] Soldiers and four American Soldiers
works every day transporting Soldiers to Yongsan from
both the Incheon International Airport and Osan Air
Base. Theyre on the bus, as well as inside the terminal
as soon as a flight lands, doing everything they can to
ease a new Soldiers transition into a foreign country.
We man the desk next to the bus station for Soldiersas soon as they come out of the luggage carousels,
and we also have Soldiers inside helping them to get
through customs, said Sgt. Paolo Mendez of the
Movement Platoon. We steer them in the right
direction and make sure to check their ID cards and
orders; that way the 1st Replacement Company canbe ready for them as soon as they get to Yongsan.
According to Mendez, it is in the terminal that the
Movement Platoons KATUSA Soldiers are most useful.
The KATUSAs are a big help, he said. They speak
the language and can coordinate with airport or
customs officials if there is any trouble or confusion.
Theyve solved a lot of problems for us that way.
Although Soldiers will no longer be flying in throughOsan starting in October, the current schedule involves
sending a team to Osan every Tuesday and Thursday
and a team to Incheon every morning at 5 a.m.
During the PCS season its easy to get 15 people

a day at the airport and over a
hundred from Osan, he said.
After October its going to be a lot
more work at Incheon, but we try
to keep track of when the flights
are coming in so we know howmany people to expect.
The Movement Platoon also does
a lot to allay the fears of many
Soldiers who have never been outside
America before.
Everybody has questions,
especially NCOs who want to knowhow to get a job like I have, said
Mendez. Sometimes privates are
too scared to talk, so you just try to
put them at ease in whatever way
you can. Theres a lot you can do
in Korea, and theres no reason foranyone to be scared.
Were the first faces they see in Korea, said StaffSgt. Sammie Williams, Movement Platoon. We give
them the first overall impression of what to expect
here. If we can give them good service and good in
processing, then hopefully the rest of their tour will
be really good for them.Mendez says that another interesting part of the job
is that USO and celebrity tours come through the same
gates as in-processing Soldiers, and members of the
Movement Platoon often get to speak with them.
Most of the Soldiers who participate in this duty
seem to enjoy the experience and find the rewards
far outweigh the responsibilities.
I always tell them, if you keep an open mind and
try to listen to some of the things the local people aretelling you, you can learn a lot, said Williams. Id
like to think Ive helped a few people that way.
Because we are often the first Soldiers they seein Korea, people are always recognizing us later,
even if were just walking around post, he said.
Its really very gratifying. To work in this job you
should be a people person, be able to communicate
and also be a good Soldier, he said. We offer world-
class customer service.

Navigating U.S. passport application process
SEOUL A passport is aninternationally recognized travel document
that verifies the identity and nationality ofthe bearer, and is required to enter and
leave most foreign countries.
Under the U.S./Korea Status of Forces
Agreement, active-duty members of the
U.S. military can enter Korea without apassport by presenting orders and a
military identification card. However
members of the military who intend to
travel on official business to a non-SOFA
country or tourism to any country will
need to apply for a passport. All civilian
travelers need passports.There are three different types of
passports: tourist (blue), official
(brown) and diplomatic (black). TheU.S. State Department is responsible for
issuing passports. U.S. embassies and
consulates accept passport applications,
which are forwarded to the UnitedStates for printing. Generally it takes
from 10 days to two weeks to receive
an issued tourist passport. Official and
diplomatic passports can take up to six
weeks for delivery.

Learning to share the power of our blessing
Always remember this:Every Soldier is looking for
a blessing. The words ran through my mind, every
Soldier is looking for a blessing. Ive never forgottenthese words spoken by a seasoned chaplain and Ive
often recognized the truth of his powerful statement.
As the years went by, I found it not only true of
Soldiers, but true of all people -- everyperson is looking
for a blessing. Like Jabez of old they cry, Oh, that
you would bless me indeed. (1 Chronicles 4:10).People everywhere are looking for a blessing, but
who has the power to bless? I for one believe that
God has the power and I daily ask for his blessings
upon my life. Is God alone in possessing the power to
bless? I believe others have the power to bless.

childs heart is a bucket called My Parents Blessings.
Your children desperately need your blessings.
Sometimes we are tempted to not bless our children.
Like the time a boy was looking through the family
photo album and he asked his mother, Mom, who isthe guy on the beach with you the guy with the
muscles and curly hair? The mother replied, Thats
your father. The boy then said, If thats my father,
whos the chubby bald guy who now lives with us?
In spite of their moments, your children need and
deserve your best blessings.Spouses have the power to bless. Sadly, many
couples fail to recognize this and they instead choose
to give each other the third ring of marriage. First
comes the engagement ring ; Second comes the
wedding ring; Third comes the suffering.
Parents have the power to bless. Deep inside every Suffering is not what your spouse needs. What your
spouse needs is a blessing. I urge you to daily bless your
spouse with generous amounts of love and affection.
Leaders have the power to bless. At the end of the
2003 NBA season, an NBA star retired. This player
had a stellar career. He was a Rookie of the Year, anMVP and a perennial All Star. He was also the last player
to score 70 points in one game. Now some of you are
thinking, thats Michael Jordan, but I am referring
to David Robinson. No doubt M.J. was great, but what
did he leave behind? He left behind records, highlights,
commercials but no successor.David Robinson left behind Tim Duncan!. Robinson
blessed Duncan with room to grow, an opportunity to
lead and the chance to become great.
Someone you know is looking for a blessing and
you have the power to bless that person. May the Lord
be with you as you share the power of a blessing.

The reclining Buddha atWat Pho is 46 meters long and 15 meters high. It is shaped in plaster around a brick core and finished with gold leaf. Wat Pho is the oldest and largest temple in Bangkok,
boasting the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand. The site dates back to the 16th century, but its current history began in 1781 with the complete rebuilding of the monastery.
