Army Community Service (ACS)

is always concerned with the

safety of Fort Drum’s Soldiers

and Families. When one thinks of

safety, physical harm is often the

first thing that comes to mind.

There are however, many areas in

our lives that pose safety concerns

and are therefore addressed by

ACS Programs. Of the twelve

programs in ACS, the following

five address certain safety con-

cerns:

Many Soldiers and Families are

threatened by identity theft and

financial scams. The Financial

Readiness Program at ACS rec-

ommends that you run your own

credit every four months utilizing

a different credit reporting agency

each time. You can minimize risk

by putting an active duty status

alert on your credit report to pre-

vent unauthorized use of your

credit. ACS Financial counselors

are available to meet confidentially

to address your financial needs.

Another area of safety concern is

your online safety. Lets face it,

today we communicate, recreate,

National Safety Month Observed in June

educate, and work via the inter-

net. Social networking, while

providing information at your

fingertips, can be both beneficial

and harmful at the same time.

Military Families have the added

worry of operational security

issues as well as personal secu-

rity. Mobilization and Deploy-

ment teaches a class in Opera-

tional Security. The class is de-

signed to teach Families what is

and is not appropriate to share

on Facebook. Together class

participants receive eye opening

examples of how one can fall

victim to the less secure side of

social media.

Posing yet another threat to your

safety is using the internet in

your job search. For instance,

Employment Readiness can

teach you ways to protect your

online identity while uploading

your resume and utilizing such

social networking sites as

Linked-In.

The Family Advocacy Program

(FAP) is another area in which

ACS looks out for your safety.

FAP provides Soldiers and

Families with the tools to

skillfully parent utilizing

proven positive discipline

techniques, parenting men-

tors through their New Par-

ent Support Program and

educational classes to pro-

mote awareness regarding

domestic violence, stress and

anger management tech-

niques, communication and

sexual assault prevention.

In honor of National Safety

Month, Relocation Readi-

ness has teamed up with the

Light Fighter School to

offer a basic self defense

class to their Hearts Apart

and International Spouses

Groups.

Remember, Personal Safety

involves many aspects of our

lives. Let ACS help ensure

your personal safety. Come

in and see how we can help!

Remember– Think ACS

First!

When you think about

Army Community Service

(ACS) have you ever stopped to con-

sider that ACS Saves Soldiers and

Families money and time. Lets look at

how:

Army Emergency Relief (AER) is a

better alternative to a Soldier in need

of emergency money than civilian

lending counterparts when you con-

sider that the national bank average

lending rate is 3.25% and worse by far

are the payday loans averaging about

426%. A cash advance on a credit

card would cost $13.99 finance charge

and an annual interest rate of almost

57%. The AER lending rate is 0%.

Army Family Team Building leader-

ship development seminars are free

whereas the cost of a single leadership

development seminar in the private

industry sector is approximately

$195.00.

Employment Readiness (ERP) The

current national average for a head-

hunter to find someone a job is 15%-20%

of first year’s salary. Cost for ERP = $0.

Exceptional Family Member Program

(EFMP) Average rate for a Respite Care

provider is $15-$20 per hour. Cost to

EFMP Families for Respite Care= $0.

Relocation Readiness Program

(RELO) Need the essentials when you

first arrive or are waiting to leave? The

lending closet has your essentials-pots,

table, chairs, sleeping mats, etc. For a

Family of four to purchase these necessi-

ties as a hold over cost would be $558.93.

RELO charge for these items=$0.

This is just a sampling of the monetary

savings ACS provides to Soldiers and

Families. Please remember that all ACS

Services are provided to you by trained

professionals and are free of charge.

How can ACS save you time? Let us

count the minutes….

Don’t wait weeks for an appointment

for issues that can be supported or ques-

tions that can be answered today!

ACS is conveniently located within two

miles of all units and housing areas on

post and easily accessible from off post

housing through the Mt. Belvedere

Gate. Many of our services are available

on a walk in basis. Some of our more

procedural services do require appoint-

ments. Same day services include but

are not limited to: Counseling Services

(MFLC) Lending Closet, Parenting Sup-

port and many others.

We know that just as your money is pre-

cious to you- so is your TIME! For

more information on what ACS offers,

low.

Regarding Resilience: Tips, tools and techniques for practicing resilience everyday!

By Jenn Eichner, MRT 772-2848

Hope your summer season is starting

off full of positive energy and

thoughts!! Have you been practicing

your resilience skills? Have you had

fewer nights, lying awake in bed

allowing your mind to race in worry?

If not, you may be having issue with

Putting It In Perspective.

Putting It In Perspective (PIIP) is a

resilience skill that helps build

optimism by not allowing one to

catastrophize in thought. Catastro-

phizing is when you waste critical

energy ruminating about the irrational

worst case outcomes of a situation,

which prevents you from taking

purposeful action. The goal of PIIP is

to lower anxiety so that you can accu-

rately assess the situation and deal

with it. Keep in mind that this is very

different from identifying the worst

case and contingency planning.

Contingency planning is productive.

Catastrophizing is counterproductive.

Say you are faced with an activating

event like your child failing a test. Do

you ever then find your emotions lead-

ing you down a path of despair and

thought processes that have your child

ruined for life over this and destined

to have a dead end job and a life of

struggles? If you have had this type of

experience, you have been a victim of

catastrophizing! It is easy to get caught in

this type of downward spiral due to the

fact that for many of us seeing the nega-

tive can be much easier than finding a

positive.

The goal of PIIP is to lower anxiety so

that you can accurately assess the situa-

tion and deal with it.

The goal is NOT to pretend “all is well,”

to deny real problems, or to take away

anxiety completely. There are four steps

into pulling out of a tail spin and putting

things back into perspective:

Step 1: List worst case outcomes.

Step 2: List best case outcomes.

Step 3: List most likely outcomes.

Step 4: Identify plan for dealing with

most likely.

It seems easy enough, right? It can be

tough. Other things come into play that

distract us from getting back on track

like, thinking traps, iceberg beliefs and the

inability to truly problem solve. So when

you are completing the steps – really go

to the extremes and back. List “Worst

Case” as a chain - keep asking “And then

what happens?” or another similar ques-

Putting it in Perspective-And Keeping it There! tion (e.g., “What’s next?” “What else?”

“What was your next thought?”). Don’t

stop until you’ve exhausted what is

running through your head then rate

your mood, focus, and energy level

while you are in worst case scenario

thought. Do the same for the “Best

Case” scenario thought process. Then

finally, list the “Most Likely” out-

comes, focusing on emotions, behav-

iors and other people. Check for accu-

racy and rate your mood, focus and

energy level while creating the Most

Likely list. Develop a plan for dealing

with the Most Likely outcomes. Com-

pleting the steps in order, will truly help

you to see where your thinking is of

track and how to get your thoughts

back in your control.

Give it a try. You may even get a good

laugh while completing the exercise.

Sometimes it is just downright funny to

see what extremes your thoughts can

take you to. As in all resilience

exercises, you have to be true to it. If

you only go so far, you will only get so

far!

Have a great month – good luck and

good thoughts!

For military Fami-

lies, the spring and

summer months

are known as PCS

(Permanent

Change of Duty

Station) Season.

With this in mind,

Army Community

Service’s Reloca-

tion Readiness Program (RELO), becomes

particularly busy as their programming is

designed to ensure that Soldiers and Fami-

lies both arriving to and departing from

Fort Drum, experience a smooth, stress

free move.

Soldiers and their Families arriving at Fort

Drum will be welcomed by a friendly,

knowledgeable staff of professionals who

can help with many aspects of relocation

ranging from borrowing household items if

your belongings have yet to arrive to immi-

gration and naturalization assistance for

Spouses and children of active-duty service

members, retirees, and Department of the

Army civilians.

When a Soldier first arrives, the initial set-

tling in process can be challenging. That is

why he or she is encouraged to attend the

Newcomer’s Orientation given by Reloca-

tion Readiness in which various agency

briefers explain on post resources, all of

the various ACS services as well as interest-

ing information about the area. Relocation

Readiness also offers the Drum Family

Welcome Tour. This narrated tour in-

cludes on post points of interest as well as

a tour of the surrounding community. If

our Soldiers and Families are awaiting

housing and currently in a hotel, Army

Community service offers them a full

kitchen and Family area in order to prepare

a home cooked meal and relax with the

Family. If our Soldiers and Families need

to borrow basic household items while

they await the shipment of their personal

items, they may borrow items such as

dishes, sleeping mats, playpens and or car

seats for up to a thirty day lending period.

Sometimes, the initial settling in period is

complicated by language barriers and im-

migration issues. Relocation Readiness

offers English for Speakers of another

Language Classes and assistance is available

for petitions pertaining to Spouses and

children of active-duty service members,

retirees, and Department of the Army civil-

ians. Services include providing informa-

tion on what forms and documentation are

required for obtaining permanent residence

(LPR) and U.S. citizenship. Anyone with

immigration related legal issues should

consult with a licensed immigration attor-

ney.

For Soldiers and Families departing Fort

Drum, the Relocation Readiness Program

offers one-on-one appointments to help

sort out the questions regarding their des-

tination. Relo also organizes and facili-

tates the CONUS and OCONUS PCS

briefs. These briefs are designed to pre-

pare you for your move. If you know

what to expect , the stress of moving is

reduced.

Relocation Readiness has a saying in

honor of Northern New York’s agricul-

tural roots and all the dairy farms in the

area. “Let us help you make a smooth

Moo-ve” They punctuate this point by

handing out “stress cows” for their clients

to squeeze.! So, whether you are arriving

to Fort Drum or heading for “greener

pastures,” Relo is here to make the proc-

ess easier.

Putting all “cheesy puns” aside, check out

what Relocation Readiness has to offer

and you will be pleasantly surprised.

On May 3, North Country Children's Clinic was awarded a $6,000 "Give Kids a Smile" grant from the New York state Dental Foundation to fund free oral health care for Ft. Drum Families. The funds will allow dental hygienists to attend WIC Clinics at Mountain Community Homes Rhicard Hills and Adirondack

Creek Community Centers, where they will provide dental screenings and fluoride treatments at no charge to Families who are visiting the clinic. The new services will be added to Baby Teeth Basics a dental health education program funded by the Spouses Club of Ft. Drum and the Samaritan Auxiliary.

Baby Teeth Basics provides new parents with educational materials and supplies to keep their infant's first teeth healthy. For information on the WIC Program call 782-9222 or visit www.childrens-clinic.org.

Things to do After the Move - Finding a New Dentist Moving can be tough. Making new

friends, finding your way around a new

town, and adjusting to a new school are

just some of the challenges. Perhaps

the most challenging aspect of a move,

besides finding someone to cut your

hair, is finding a dentist. With these

few steps, we hope to take the bite out

of finding a new dentist.

1. Be wary of advertising. In an area

like Fort Drum, there should be no

reason for a dentist to advertise. A

dentist is someone you automatically go

to twice a year, thus there is a base of

repeating customers.

2. If you like your current dentist, ask

them for a referral before you leave.

This is especially true for an orthodon-

tist. An orthodontist can refer you to

someone that uses a compatible tech-

nique. There is also a smaller pool of

orthodontists, and they may have gone

to school with someone that practices

in the area you are going to.

3. If that doesn’t work, once you get to

the area talk to neighbors and get

names of people they use.

4. Then call the local dental associa-

tion. They know the area and can tell

you if there is anything that you should

be aware of. The person you are talk-

ing to might even make a recommenda-

tion.

After all of these steps, it can come to

down to what’s most convenient to

you.

COL Noel Nicolle spoke at Give a Kid a

Smile Award Ceremony

“What sunshine is to flowers,

smiles are to humanity. These are

but trifles, to be sure; but scattered

along life's pathway, the good they

do is inconceivable.”

Joseph Addison

Moving with the military may not be

the easiest thing you’ve ever done but it

can be one of the luckiest. Lucky?

Yes, lucky. Moving can be a great ex-

perience and the start of a new adven-

ture. Who knows what good fortune

awaits you at your new duty station. So

to make the move part little easier, here

are 7 things you can do to decrease

your stress and maybe even increase

your luck!

1. Lots of great information on your

new installation is just a click away.

The Military Installations web page

at

www.militaryinstallations.dod.mil is

the place to start. Not only does it

give you tons of great information

but also there are links to the post’s

home page and a list of important

phone numbers. The Relocation

office at ACS can print this out for

you and may have been stationed

at your new station at some point

themselves.

2. Buy a new shower curtain when

you get to your new place. Also,

wash the old one with a load of

towels before you leave. Once the

old one is dry, it can be folded and

used for all kind of other uses such

as liner for the trunk of your car, a

barrier between your picnic blanket

and the grass, and if you have to

change a tire it will help you keep

your clothes clean.

3. Do all your laundry before the

movers come but give your washer

time with the lid open and the wa-

ter purged; this will just make sure

that the washer is dry when you go

to move it. In addition, while you

have the drier away from the wall

make sure you clean the vent of

any lint.

4. Don’t buy anything you need

until you have opened all your

boxes. You will be surprised at

how many of your old things will

work in your new house if you get

chance to see what all you own.

5. The post Thrift Shop and the local

thrift stores are possible gold

mines. Not only is the post thrift

shop the place to donate and con-

sign all of the things you don’t

want to take with you, but it is also

the place to find all the things you

need for your new house.

6. Start a list of things to keep with

you through your move. You can

use Plan My Move on the

www.militaryinstallations.dod.mil

web page. They have a good list

for important paperwork and

phone numbers you should take,

as well as reminders of what

charger you need to take. Re-

member that a will is a document

that should not travel with you;

mail it to your new address.

7. If you are enrolling your kids into

new schools then you will need to

know what documents you need

to bring with you. Contact you

School Liason Office at 772-

3214/1311 They can help ensure

your child’s transition is a smooth

one. It’s also good practice to

bring a copy of the front and back

(make sure you get the ISBN

number) of the text books your

kids are using now. It’s a good

idea to have copies of their last

test that show the level of their

skills. An initiative of the Military

Child Education Coalition,

www.schoolquest.org has tons of

good information and the ability

to let you create a virtual file

drawer.

ite tips with us, email them to

Negotiating Job Offers

Hello all you job seekers! Here we are

beginning a new month and exciting

things are going on all around us. But

for many of you it is the job seeking

that is exciting, well maybe just a little

bit. This month our featured topic is

Negotiating Job Offers. With the right

information and preparation, you will

be able to negotiate for the higher sal-

ary you want and achieve positive re-

sults. For many it is not easy to accom-

plish, however, negotiating job offers is

the last step and the trickiest part of

securing a new job or keeping yourself

happy in your current one. Through

negotiation you and your employer or

future employer are discussing certain

conditions and expectations in terms of

workload and compensation.

Research has suggested that 4 out of 5

companies consider some form of sal-

ary negotiation, however the studies

also show that only a small percentage

of applicants actually enter into nego-

tiations with future employers. You do

not have to be an expert at negotiating

to successfully negotiate a job offer;

however, it can be intimidating to do

so. With practice and proper planning,

you can prepare yourself to feel com-

fortable in the negotiating process.

To be successful in negotiating a salary

you must think about the two major

stages. The first step is the preparation

and planning stage and the second

stage is your actual negotiation. This is

where you will apply your good com-

munication skills and it is also where all

the information is shared. Preparation

and planning involves research, gather-

ing information and planning your

strategy to negotiate. There are four

components to consider in this stage:

Determine your competitive mar-

ket-value by knowing what you are

worth

Determine your company-value by

showing what you are worth to the

company

Calculate your acceptable salary

range

Evaluate the entire compensation

package including benefits

After you have collected all this infor-

mation, you are ready to plan. Consider

different alternatives and decide how

you will implement your communica-

tion and proposal effectively to the

hiring official. Remain positive and

confident throughout the negotiation

process; continue to sell yourself when

negotiating a higher salary. Show the

company that you are a valuable asset

and are worth the $$$.

If you are interested in learning more

about Negotiating Job Offers, please

sign up for our upcoming workshop

scheduled for June 20 at 0930. You can

sign up by calling 315-772-1090/9611.
