you today ... over 50 years after the historical ‘ I Have a Dream’ speech, was it a fantasy? Was it impractical? Or was it unrealistic? ”

The event also included a musical performance by Angela McMullen, an inspirational dance by Tech. Sgt. Janelle Ramsey, 86th Aeromedical Evacuation Squa dron, and a speech by Solomon U do-Aka, a Ramstein

ig c ool fres an o on first place in an oratorical speech contest.

U do-Aka’s speech focused on K ing’s works that he performed in an effort to better the lives of others that continue to inspire change.

In his speech, U do-Aka said K ing’s life represented service to others and de otion to ac ie e ent t at in -enced the lives of those he touched

through his actions that were for a greater cause than his own comfort.

U do-Aka went on to speak about how K ing’s life was not only an

exa le of sel essness t also an example of why one should be proud to be an American.

Davis echoed similar sentiments as he contemplated K ing’s dream.

“When you don’t have a lot of t ings o ll find o rself drea ing about everything,” Davis said. “Our dreams are tied to our purpose in life, and it’s extremely important for each of s to f lfill t at r ose de el-oping and pursuing such important dreams like Dr. K ing.”

Davis encouraged the audience to not be afraid to dream the impossible.

The event ended with clos-ing remarks from Brig. Gen. Jon T. Thomas, 86th Airlift Wing command-er, reminding the crowd that Martin L uther K ing Jr. Day is not a day off work but rather a day on which to work toward individual dreams.

Solomon Udo-Aka, a Ramstein High School freshman, presents his first-place winning oratorical speech during a Martin Luther King Jr. observance ceremony Jan. 12 on Ramstein. Udo-Aka’s speech focused on King’s life and work as an inspiration and servant to others.

USAFE switchboard operators connect, assist globallyStory and photo by Airman 1st Class Larissa Greatwood86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

“U SAFE switchboard operator, how may I help you? ” is a short phrase many who have called the U .S. Air Forces in Europe consolidated switchboard may be familiar with.

The 40 members of the Telephone Operations Facility, located on Ramstein, work 24/ 7, 365 days a year to service not only Ramstein and U SAFE but Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines and U .S. State Department personnel all over the world.

The facility directly impacts 14 bases located out-side of the continental U .S., though they have the ability to connect callers from base to base regardless of location. They receive approximately 1.5 million calls per year.

With such a busy j ob, the operators keep their main priority in mind: customer service.

o eti es e re one of t e first i ressions someone has when they are stationed overseas,” said Pia-Maria Sakuda, 86th Communications Squa dron chief of telephone operations. “( Newcomers) will call us and ask where certain things are or who they should talk to, so we keep a level of profes-sionalis to ens re t eir first i ression is ositi e There should be no q uestion about perfect customer service.”

In line with their customer service priority, Sakuda said the average answer time for 85 percent of the

calls they receive is less than one second. During bus-ier hours, the maximum answer time is four seconds.

Because the operators speak with people around the world on a daily basis, they speak nine different lang ages in total and are re ired to e ostl ent in a minimum of three.

“I speak three languages: German, Italian and, of course, English, ” said Christel Piscione, 86th CS consolidated switchboard operator. “I can also speak

a little bit of French, but j ust enough for basic com-munication.”

Because the operators work consistently through-o t t e ear a da said it is i ortant to find an efficient a to sc ed le eac erson s s ifts

“I adj ust the shift schedule based off of the call traffic al e a da said t 3 e recei e t e most calls so we need the most people. At seven in the morning we start with fewer people, and throughout the day, more and more people come in. We typically have two people in the middle of the night to ensure the switchboard is constantly manned.”

Piscione said her favorite part of the j ob is talking to people and being able to provide assistance.

Operators at the U SAFE consolidated switchboard all understand the importance of what they do and take great pride to provide q uality service, Sakuda explained.

“We are not employed ( by civilians) , so that’s what makes us uniq ue, ” Sakuda said. “We are here to ultimately support the military, and for that reason, I know we’re important. The military has bases in less civiliz ed areas, so we become especially useful in those cases because we can connect to anyone. We are supporting Europe, but we are not limited.”

The consolidated switchboard operators are the middlemen who can connect callers to more than 30, 000 telephone numbers. Though it may seem like a simple process, they make the little connections, which in turn form a strong connection between allied partner nations all over the world.

Christel Piscione, 86th Communications Squadron consolidat-ed switchboard operator, answers and connects a call Jan. 4 on Ramstein. Piscione speaks English, German, Italian and a little French, which helps her assist people of different nationalities.

US citizens released from Iranian prison arrive at RamsteinCourtesy of Landstuhl Regional Medical Center Public Affairs

Three U .S. citiz ens recent-ly released from detention in Iran arrived at L andstuhl Regional Medical Center via Ramstein late evening Jan. 17 and have begun their reintegration process.

Trained and highly-capa-ble military health profes-sionals at L RMC are evalu-ating their condition, provid-ing any necessary medical care and assisting in their recovery process. There is no pre-determined amount of time involved in the rein-tegration process.

The L RMC team is sen-sitive to what the patients have been through and will proceed with their reinte-gration at a pace in which they are comfortable. The ultimate goal is to help the returnees j oin their families and society as they continue their path of recovery from their ordeal.

“My staff and I share in the excitement to wel-come these Americans to L andstuhl Regional Medical Center, where we are hon-ored to care for them, ” said Col. James L aterz a, L RMC commander. “Our team is focused on determining their medical needs in a safe envi-ronment to assist them on their road to recovery.”

Each returnee initial-ly received a full medical assessment, to ensure that any acute needs were imme-diately addressed, L aterz a explained. From there, a deliberate reintegration

rocess egan s ecificall designed to suit each indi-viduals’ personal needs.

The process includes for-al str ct red riefings and

will allow each returnee to speak with the medical team about any other issues. A critical part of this process is the decompression period that maximiz es the health and welfare of each returnee.

Family members assist

in the reintegration process as the assessment continues and medical professionals monitor the patients’ treat-ment and progress.

“As these returnees undergo treatment, we will preserve their privacy con-sistent with Federal priva-cy laws and regulations, ” L aterz a said. “Once our por-tion is completed, we will coordinate a smooth tran-sition for each returnee to their continuing treatment location.

“We are committed to ensuring each of these citi-ens is fir l gro nded on

their path to health.”L RMC is the most forward-

placed Army medical cen-ter and the largest American hospital outside the U nited States. L RMC has treated more than 90, 000 wounded and ill service members and civilians from Afghanistan and Iraq . Combat operations, combined with rapid aero-medical evacuation capabili-ties, created a complex mili-

tary trauma system in which L RMC serves as the sole link between “downrange” care and subseq uent long-term care in the U nited States and other Coalition nations. As a result, L RMC is often

referred to as a prism, or cen-ter of an hourglass, receiving a wide variety of patients that L RMC treats and then medi-cally evacuates to appropri-ate destinations throughout the world.

Imagine life without Biomedical Sciences Corpsby Lt. Col. Juan Ramirez86th Aerospace Medicine Squadron

Have you ever given thought as to what life would be like without your friendly neighborhood Bio edical ciences Cor s fficers g ess would be no, unless you' re a BSC, but I suspect in order to answer that que stion or understand how your life would be affected, you would need a bit more background on who we are and what we do.

The idea for a separate but eq ual corps for commis-sioned officers o ser e as non-n rses sicians dentists and administrators was the idea of Col. Alvin

change. Soon after, Air Force Surgeon General L t. Gen. Richard Bohannon presented the thought that allied health professionals such as physical thera-pists, pharmacists, dietitians and the like req uired a separate corps for proper force development.

Today, the BSC consists of approximately 2,400 officers co rised of 1 ir Force ecialt Codes encompassing 18 specialties.

We are found in command, staff, research and clinical j obs, as well as many non-traditional medi-

cal roles. We are found deployed and at home sta-tions and e s all a e t e a orit of offi-cers o d find at a local edical gro

Watch me touch, watch me goAirmen land a Ramstein C-130J Super Hercules on the runway as they conduct a touch-and-go landing Jan. 14 on Ramstein. Airmen from the 37th Airlift Squadron transport troops and supplies across a variety of airfields and must practice the touch-and-go to ready them for any situation that may arise during landing. A touch-and-go allows Airmen to train on their ability to land and react to “emergency” situations and familiarizes pilots with their aircraft. Constant training ensures Airmen are able to respond anywhere they are needed.


to Dinuba, California, a small town about 30 miles southeast of Fresno, and the place where Perez ’s father had been work-ing for a number of years. Perez completed high school there and then continued her education by receiving her bachelor’s degree at Fresno State U niversity in Physical Education. Her degree was a maj or milestone in her life, but her goals did not stop there.

From an early age Perez wanted to j oin the Army as soon as she graduated college.

“I love physical education and knew I could fall back on it if my dream of being in the Army didn’t work out for me,” Perez said.

In February 2014, Perez realiz ed her dream and j oined the Army as a specialist.

“I saw the good for me in j oining the Army,” she said.

After attending basic and advanced training at Ft. L eonard Wood, Missouri, Pere landed at er first d t station as a truck driver for the 39th Transportation Battalion, 21st TSC. She qui ckly changed her position and became the driver for Command Sgt. Maj . Rodney Rhoades, the senior enlisted advisor for the 21st TSC.

Perez was promoted to ser-geant in November 2015. The normal progression for a spe-cialist to be promoted to ser-geant is 36 months.

“Sgt. Perez is an outstand-ing NCO who will go as far as she wants to in the Army,” Rhoades said. “I am very proud of this milestone that she has reached so qui ckly. Her promotion to sergeant within 21 months again shows how committed she is to the Army and to her career.”

Perez credits reaching this milestone, along with all oth-ers she has accomplished, to the strong family ties she has developed throughout the years.

“I believe that love for my family is the most important aspect in my life, because they give me unconditional support. Regardless of the time or occa-sion, my family has always been there for me, ” Perez said. “Every little step or big goal I have achieved is thanks to the education and support my family has given me.”

Perez feels proud to serve as a Soldier in the 21st TSC, and says she could not be in a better place. She views her Army peers, mentors and leaders as her second fam-ily, and she brings the same values to her military fam-ily that she learned growing up, including respect, loyalty and hard work. Just as Perez considers her family her back-bone of strength, respect and love, she feels that as an NCO she now has the opportunity to be the backbone for those Soldiers she hopes to soon support.

“I feel lucky to have two families,” Perez said. “As a leader, I will carry on the tra-ditions, customs and courte-sies of the U .S. Army. I want to give the Army my motiva-tion, dedication and knowl-edge to support our mission on a daily basis. I know I have a long way to go, but I will get there.”

Another aspect of Perez is that she has been play-ing soccer since she attended elementary school in Mexico. When she became a U .S. citiz en, she continued play-ing for the soccer team in Dinuba. She has continued her z est for soccer by j oin-ing the TSG K aiserslautern Frauenfussball, a local wom-en’s soccer team.

“I love to play soccer. I love the teamwork, the work-out and meeting new people,” Perez said. “I am also hoping to learn some German.”

Pere s exi ilit o en-ness and desire to improve in all areas of her life help her to exceed her performance at anything she attempts. Her current plan is to be a career Soldier, to serve 20 years and continue to progress, not only for her Soldiers but for the Army mission.

“I want to be in the Army long enough to lead and become a command sergeant maj or,” she said.

Perez plans on taking more military classes in order to contin e to create a terrific promotion packet that con-tinues to make her stand out above the other NCOs.

“I want to build a great career so that I get promoted on my own merits, ” Perez said. “I am motivated to have Soldiers under me that I can support and assist in becoming better Soldiers themselves.”

Lentil Stew with Vienna SausagesIngredients (for 4 people)4 cups of lentils, soaked the night before in water. (Allow the water to stand 1 inch above the top of the lentils.)2 cups chopped onions1 cup leek rings4 large carrots � nely diced4-6 medium size potatoes peeled and diced (optional)8 Vienna sausages or 4 pairs, whole 1 pound Kassler, whole (get it on the econo-my)1 cup diced bacon1 tablespoons margarine or ghee6-8 cups water or stock (the water you soaked the lentils in will do nicely)1-2 teaspoons salt (depending on how salty the Kassler is)½ -1 teaspoon black ground pepper

Use a large soup pot. Let the margarine or ghee get hot. Add diced bacon, onions, car-

rots, potatoes, leek, and lentils. Let roast until you get a nice aroma. Add 2-3 cups of liquid. Let it reduce and add more liquid. Add the Kassler. Reduce the heat and put on the lid. Let it simmer for 2 – 2 ½ hours. Stir every 15 minutes. If you don’t stir every 15 minutes gently, you will have burned vegetables and the Kassler will fall apart. Taste to make sure the taste is the level you desire. Now is the time to add a bit more spice if you like. Add the Vienna sausages 15 minutes before serv-ing to allow them to simmer a bit.

A nice side dish for this meal is Spaetzle. You can � nd them in your local German grocery store or refer back to the previous recipe from the January 8 edition of your Kaiserslautern American to see how to make Spaetzle from scratch.

To serve, put Spaetzle on one side of a warm plate. On the other side put the lentils. Slice the Kassler in 4 equal slices and add to plate. Last, put a pair of Vienna sausages on the plate. � e lentils are full of starch so they make a thick vegetable paste. It can be served in a bowl or on the plate with the meat and Spaetzle. Many Germans prefer a bit of vin-egar in their lentils. You can set a bottle of vinegar on the table to meet individual taste preferences.

See you next week!

LRMC goes tobacco-free Feb. 1Courtesy of Landstuhl Regional Medical Center Public Affairs

Beginning Feb. 1, L and-stuhl Regional Medical Center will become a tobac-co-free medical campus. No smoking will be permit-ted on the L RMC campus, which extends to the green perimeter fence surrounding the hospital.

The policy applies to all employees, patients and visi-tors at the hospital. Tobacco products and tobacco-related products that will be pro-hibited include cigarettes, cigars, pipes, smokeless tobacco such as snuff, snus and chewing tobacco, and electronic nicotine devices such as electronic cigarettes.

The new policy is being implemented in support of the Army surgeon general’s

Army Medicine Healthcare Covenant, which promotes tobacco-free living and implements tobacco-free medical campuses. The ini-tiative is also in support of the 2020 Department of Defense goal for creating a tobacco-free workforce and installations. By becoming a tobacco-free medical cam-pus, the U .S. Army Medical Command policy is extend-ing the tobacco-free z ones from the current 50 feet to encompass the entire medi-cal campus.

Tobacco use and smoking-related diseases are the lead-ing causes of devastating, yet preventable and reversible, diseases in the U nited States. The tobacco-free living ini-tiative is being implement-ed throughout MEDCOM to create a tobacco-free com-munity that promotes the

overall health of military personnel, family members, retirees and all employees on MEDCOM campuses as well as protecting patients from second- and third-hand tobacco haz ards.

L imiting tobacco use is not uniq ue to military medi-cine. More than 3, 700 civil-ian health care institutions have adopted tobacco-free campus policies, to include the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins. Federal agen-cies such as the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Health and Human Services are also tobacco-free campuses.

Within the DOD, an increasing number of Navy, Air Force and Army medi-cal treatment facilities have already implemented tobac-co-free campus policies. Despite initial concerns, the transition to a tobacco-free campus has gone smoothly and is well-accepted by the maj ority of patients, visitors and staff.

The timing of the Feb. 1 initiati e is s ecific to the L RMC facilities locat-ed within the green perim-eter fence immediately sur-rounding the hospital. Other medical facilities operated and sustained by MEDCOM in Europe are scheduled

to become tobacco free no later than May 2016. Those MEDCOM facilities include Army health clinics, Army veterinary clinics, Army den-tal clinics and Army Public Health Command Europe.

The MEDCOM poli-cy applies to all personnel assigned to and working for MEDCOM, to include mil-itary, civilians, contractors and local national employ-ees. It also applies to anyone seeking health care, visitors and people from other agen-cies and businesses that oper-ate within or visit MEDCOM facilities and other campuses where MEDCOM facilities reside. For service members assigned to MEDCOM, the rule also applies anytime while in uniform.

For all U .S. Army MEDCOM service mem-bers and civilians who work at L RMC, the policy means they can no longer use tobacco products during the duty day. L ocal national employees will be allowed to use tobacco products during non-duty hours such as lunch breaks during the work day.

Those employees, as well as visitors, will be req uired to smoke in designated areas outside the medical campus. Future designated areas in compliance with the new

policy are only a few min-utes’ walk from current des-ignated smoking areas. Signs will be placed in current tobacco-use areas to direct people to the new designated areas.

“We understand the hard-ship this lifestyle change can create for some users of tobacco products, but U .S. Army Medical Command is taking the lead to improve the overall health for every-one in the MEDCOM family, as well for those we are hon-ored to serve – our patients, ” said L RMC Commander Col. James L aterz a. “As medical providers, every leader and employee should become a part of this health educa-tion process by modeling healthy behaviors to every-one around them by reducing or q uitting their own tobacco use and supporting others who desire to do the same.

“We want to help every-one succeed in supporting this new healthy lifestyle initiative, so we are increas-ing our efforts to help those who would like assistance in reducing or q uitting their use of tobacco products, ” L aterz a continued.

Health care providers, health educators, tobac-co facilitators and Army Wellness Center staff are all trained to support employee and patient tobacco reduc-tion and cessation efforts.

At L RMC, tobacco ces-sation services are avail-able for TRICARE and non-TRICARE eligible beneficiaries by calling the L RMC Army Wellness

Each year, many people set New Year’s resolu-tions, some they keep and some they don’t. To have an incredible experience while stationed in Germany, here are seven New Year’s resolutions o s o ld defi nitel ee

• op t e m oo to e . Perhaps, try to shop for your groceries there for a full month. Strive to always try a new item not found in American food stores.

• F t e e p t ome e e. Check out “Tips on Booking a Cheap Ryanair Flight” at www.MilitaryInGermany.com. Find a free long weekend and book a destination that has the best price. You will discover and explore a new place that you normally would not have chosen. Or for the more daring, go on a “Blind

Boo ing ig t it ro ings ere o oo o r ig t at rando it one lo fi xed rice

starting at €33. You are able to select a category of what type of trip you would like to take, and t en o fi nd o t o r s r rise destination at t e end of the booking. To try Blind Booking, visit www.eurowings.com/ skysales/ BlindBooking.aspx? culture= en-GB

• t e o p op t e be o . Beaches in Europe can be a different

experience than the ones we are used to in the U .S. Catch some rays in mainland Spain or Italy or even discover the beauty of German beaches.

• Fee t e pee o t . Travel to a new city on a fast German ICE train while sitting back and relaxing. Have a croissant and sip some wine. They even have “Saver-tickets” starting at €29 when you travel within Germany.

• ep o t p. Pack the car with drinks and food, and plan your gas stops with the

sso F el fi nder ra el on fa o s ro tes s c as the German Romantic Road, or do it the old fash-ion way and j ust grab a map and go.

• p o e o o to . Small villages have amaz ing charm and history j ust waiting to be discovered. See where the locals go, perhaps a park or lake. Join them in the local pubs or family owned restaurants. L ike they say, “strangers are

st friends o a en t et et

• e e e m o . L earn more than the basic vocabulary or phrases like “Wo ist der Bahnhof? ” which means “Where is the train station? ” You can also learn words that will help you be more a part of the conversation. Here are some ideas:

Exactly — “Genau” ( geh-NOW) Maybe — “Vielleicht” ( feel-L AICHT) Nice — “Schoen” ( schun) All right — “Alles klar” ( AHL -us klahr) reat — oll tol Fine — “Prima” ( PREE-ma) Fantastic — “Fantastisch” ( fan-TAHSH-tish) L ikewise — “Gleichfalls” ( GL AISH-fahls) Doesn’t matter — “Macht Nichts” ( MAHK T-

nichts) No difference — “Ganz Egal” ( GAHNZ-ay-

gahl) All is well — “Alles Gut” ( AHL -us goot) Fabulous — “Fabelhaft” ( FAH-bull-hahft)

Happy New Year from the Military in Germany tea

Airman 1st Class Zachary Ohannessian, 86th Maintenance Squadron crew chief, scrubs the wing of a Ramstein C-130J Super Hercules Jan. 4 on Ramstein. The wash is preparation work for the aircraft’s C-2 isochronal inspection.

Airman Drew Thurau, 86th Maintenance Squadron crew chief, sprays water on the wing of a Ramstein C-130J Super Hercules during a pre-isochronal inspection wash Jan. 4 on Ramstein. An ISO inspection is a scheduled, extensive examination of an aircraft to maintain its functionality and perform preven-tive maintenance.

86th Maintenance Squadron Airmen wash a Ramstein C-130J Super Hercules before a C-2 isochronal inspection Jan. 4 on Ramstein. This examination marks the 14th and final C-2 ISO inspection for the 86th Airlift Wing until 2020.

Capt. Rachel Weiler, 86th Maintenance Squadron maintenance flight commander, washes the under-belly of a Ramstein C-130J Super Hercules Jan. 4 on Ramstein. The wash was performed before the aircraft’s C-2 isochronal inspection.

Maintainers clean before painting, inspectingStory and photos by Staff Sgt. Timothy Moore86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

“Clean before applying paint” is a direction many people may disregard during a home improvement proj ect, but they are words that are well-heeded by the members of the 86th Maintenance Sq uadron isochro-nal inspection section.

Proper washing and painting is crucial in maintain-ing the aircraft assigned to Ramstein.

“( It) is for corrosion prevention, ” said Tech. Sgt. Andrew K ohn, 86th MX S ISO dock coordinator. “You want to get all the grime and grit that gathered while it was out.

“We don’t always land on international runways, ” K ohn added. “We ( often) land on dirt runways with rocks, so you’re going to get nicks and things wrong with your plane.”

For this reason, K ohn said they wash and paint the aircraft in conj unction with the regularly scheduled ISO inspections.

An ISO inspection is a scheduled, extensive exami-nation of an aircraft to maintain its functionality and perform preventive maintenance. The inspections can

vary in time and complexity, with inspections catego-riz ed as either A, B, C-1 or C-2 checks.

“The C-2 check, which is the most in-depth, is what we’re coming up on right now, ” K ohn said. “Anything and everything that you have on this aircraft is going to be touched by us.”

This C-2 check marks the end of an ISO inspec-tion period of the 14 C-130Js assigned to Ramstein. After this C-2 inspection, Ramstein will not be due for another one until 2020.

“For the 86th Airlift Wing, that means more reliabil-ity on the aircraft side, ” K ohn said.

The inspections involve Airmen from multiple shops in the 86th MX S, but each aspect of the process adds value to getting the aircraft back into operations.

“I had never heard about having to wash an air-craft, and then I got here. In my second or third week I was told I was going to wash, ” said Airman 1st Class Ryan K uiper, 86th MX S aerospace main-tenance apprentice. “It’s an experience I’ll never forget, that’s for sure.”

The Airmen have one day to get the entire aircraft washed. As such, K uiper said the wash day can be long and physically taxing.

“It’s cool to see the plane go from dirty to clean, ” K uiper said.

Though the painting is mostly j ust touch-up spot painting, it is still an important method to prevent cor-rosion and extend the life of the aircraft.

nce t e aircraft is as ed and ainted it t en offi-cially goes into inspection, which is broken up into loo and fix ases

“They are very in-depth inspections, ” K uiper said. “The planes get taken apart and put back together.”

The ISO section typically looks for the items that o ld ca se ission sto age first t t e c ec e er -

thing from burned-out light bulbs to cracked airframes.“You learn how things operate, what goes wrong

more than others, ” K uiper said. “During the inspec-tion, you learn why things are more important than other things.”

K uiper said the inspection is better than the wash because, though they are still on a time crunch, they are allowed more than the one day that completing the wash req uires.

Each C-2 inspection takes approximately two weeks to return the aircraft to operational status, but it all begins with a wash and paint j ob.

Snow and ice are slippery hazards. De-icing salt has long been the most common way to clear snow and ice from sidewalks, roadways and driveways.

While it’s convenient, there are drawbacks.Ecosystems adjacent to salted roads are often damaged by the contact. Plants are damaged or killed, water and soil is contaminated, and in severe cases, wildlife can become ill or die. Salt can also cause serious damage to lawns and gardens.

Hold the salt, please!What you can do• Use as little de-icing salt as possible. • Using a small amount of de-icer before a snowfall helps reduce the amount of product needed.• On dry days, sweep up loose salt to prevent the excess being washed into the environment.• Try sand or kitty litter.• Use elbow grease — shovel quickly, use a broom and something to break any ice. In Germany, there are several re-usable salt-free abrasives available.
