Tax center saves big bucksStory and photo by Senior Airman Nicole Sikorski 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

W ith W-2s and 1040s on many people’s minds, it is that time of year again — tax season.

Taxes can be a daunting endeav-or despite all of the resources available.

To help alleviate that stress, more than 60 volunteers at the Ramstein Tax Center work through the months of February to June to save Airmen money.

The tax center offers free fi ling of federal and state taxes for service members, retirees and dependents in the KMC, which saves them money and helps reduce the confusion of fi l-ing on their own.

Volunteers saved active-duty mil-itary members at Ramstein more than $170,000 in extra fees in 2013, fi led more than 1,200 tax returns and refunded them more than $2.5 million.

“I enjoy volunteering to help with taxes,” said Senior Airman Ashley Cassell, 86th Airlift Wing judge advo-cate tax paralegal. “It was intimidat-ing at fi rst to think about dealing with taxes, but it is rewarding to help people learn what they are eligible to claim and making sure they are fi ling correctly.”

Volunteers attend a 40-hour week-

long class before the tax season begins.

In addition to the classroom por-tion, online training offers courses on subjects such as W-2s, stocks,

interest, rental properties and interna-tional returns. Tax center volunteers are required, at a minimum, to be cer-tifi ed on military tax returns.

Volunteers help a wide variety of

customers at Ramstein, which include junior Airmen who are new to fi ling tax returns.

Tax center volunteers � le tax returns for customers March 6 on Ramstein. The tax center � les federal and state taxes for active duty military, dependents and retirees free of charge.

USAFE-AFAFRICA recognizes 2014 Outstanding Airmenby Staff Sgt. Ryan CraneU.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa Public Affairs

During the U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa annual awards ceremony March 5 at Ramstein, Gen. Frank Gorenc, USAFE-AFAFRICA

commander, and Chief Master Sgt. James E. Davis, USAFE-AFAFRICA command chief, recognized the best Airmen in the command for 2014.

The awards recognize Airmen for superior leadership, job performance, community involvement and personal achievements.

Gorenc took to the stage to congrat-ulate all of the winners and nominees from this year’s competition.

“Tonight is all about excellence,” Gorenc said. “We are acknowledging those winners here tonight, but what we’re not recognizing here tonight is the unbelievable talent these Airmen

competed against at the wing level to get here.”

The general went on to explain that the Airmen who competed for this award are stewards of innovation.

“Innovation is all about doing it

faster, doing it better and doing it cheaper,” Gorenc said. “It’s about the mission, and it’s this mission innovation that we’re attempting to capture. I’m confident that with the Airmen you saw tonight and those that competed, we’re up to the task. And regardless of what happens in the future, when the nation calls on our Air Force, we’re going to deliver precise combat power from the air, first time, every time.”

‘Gone phishing’ email exercise tests cybersecurity on Ramsteinby Kimberly Parker86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Airmen were put to the test when the 86th Airlift Wing inspector general and the 86th Communications Squadron executed a cyber-security phishing email exercise Feb. 26 on

Ramstein.The purpose of the exercise was two-fold: to

test network users’ computer training and readiness and to test the responses of both the information assurance office and the unit information assurance officer.

Phishing emails are crafted to look genuine and are tools for cyber criminals to use in order to gain access to a computer or network. They attempt to trick users into unwittingly opening attachments or clicking on links that lead to malware and viruses that can compromise computers.

In this exercise the email was titled, “Changes to military retirement,” and was sent from the organi-zation “Ramstein/A1.”

While USAFE/A1 is a legitimate organization designation, Ramstein/A1 is fictitious. This was done intentionally to demonstrate that cyber crimi-nals do research and try to closely mimic facts, said Capt. Jesse Nelson, 86th CS operations flight com-mander.

“The goal was to make the email as realistic and believable as possible,” he said. “Gone are the days of the obvious (phishing) attempts.”

Master Sgt. Annette Owens and Master Sgt. Anthony Ford, both lead wing readiness inspec-tion planners for the 86th IG office, worked with

Nelson and the 86th CS Information Assurance and Cyber Vulnerability offices to carefully craft the exercise.

Nelson explained there were two primary warn-ing signs users should have questioned: first, the fictitious email sender, “Ramstein A/1,” and second, the attachment contained in the email that was not digitally signed.

“This was a good opportunity to really test our user computer security training and demonstrate the importance,” Nelson said. “It only takes one person to compromise the network.”

Owens also added that the exercise was a good reminder for all users to be more vigilant when it comes to cybersecurity and protecting the network. It is important to maintain mission readiness.

“It is important to remember that our network is only as strong as our weakest link,” Ford said.

The inspection team provided a few tips to help protect the network: Always look for a digital sig-nature, be more skeptical and vigilant, and review the response card that should be located next to the computer.

Nelson also added that it is important to remem-ber that network security is not just something the communication squadron takes care of — it is a shared responsibility and starts with the user.

Ford gave credit to the cyber vulnerability manage-ment office that worked hard to ensure the exercise was a success. The team crafted a well-designed phish-ing email that became an eye-opener for many after it caught them hook, line and sinker.

Results for the inspection are still being com-piled.

With that, service members are faced with an overwhelming amount of choices on how to file their returns, said Airman 1st Class Destin Coleman, 86th Communications Squadron administrative apprentice.

“Being that it was my first time filing my taxes it was a little bit confusing,” Coleman said. “I am not very educated in finances, but you are responsible for getting involved when they are your own. I tried to file on my own prior to my appointment, but I had a lot of ques-tions. The volunteers here were able to help me understand my return while filing my taxes for free.”

Free tax filing is not only helpful to junior Airmen during their first tax return, but it is also beneficial to those in need of a helping hand in the midst of a busy schedule.

“My experience at the tax center has been great,” said Master Sgt. Cornelius Richardson, 86th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron flight chief. “The volunteers have been very professional and helped me understand everything about my refund. I’m glad they’re here for us. When you are overseas with your family, a lot of the time you are busy with work and getting to your taxes is hard. Having someone to help you is much appreci-ated.”

While helping service members save when they can, volunteers at the tax center hope to enrich the quality of life for military members and their families through their services.

Although military members stationed overseas are allotted an additional two months to file, taxes owed are still due no later than April 15; otherwise, interest will be accrued.

To schedule an appointment, call the tax center at 480-1040.

USAFE Airman earns AF medical awardStory and photo by Staff Sgt. Armando A. Schwier-Morales86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

The Air Force recently named a Ramstein Airman as one of its best medical service members in 2014.

Tech. Sgt. Jessica Green, U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa surgeon general resource adviser, was awarded the Outstanding Enlisted Health Services Management Noncommissioned Officer of the Year for 2014 for excelling in her major command and local community.

“It’s a complete shock, because there are so many outstanding resource advisers here,” Green said. “To be rec-ognized for what you do is an amaz-ing feeling. I know I don’t represent myself; I represent (resource manag-ers) as a whole.”

Green’s job is to take care of nearly 34,000 military and civilian Airmen by ensuring there is no lapse in care by managing the money for medical services in Europe and Africa. She sees the money is sent to the right locations and is distributed to medical facilities that need it.

“If I don’t do my job, then medical services won’t be there for military members or dependents,” Green said. “Knowing that I have a direct impact on patients’ care makes me feel really good.”

She conducted congressionally

mandated audits that came back with zero discrepancies. She also recouped $400,000 and reallocated $300,000 back into USAFE-AFAFRICA from $7 million worth of contracts.

“The level of genuine dedication to her duties and fellow Airmen goes beyond words,” said Master Sgt. Frederik White, USAFE-AFAFRICA surgeon general medical resources and support branch NCO in charge. “She truly epitomizes the whole Airman concept. She is well deserv-ing of the award; it feels great to see

this NCO recognized for all that she does every day.”

She is happy with the work she does during the duty day, but Green said she is also proud of developing future leaders as a work of duty and volunteering.

As the KMC 5/6 president, Green raised more than $90,000 for seven organizations and four wounded warrior programs. She also helped develop future leaders with leader-ship management courses and co-chaired the Total Force Development

Council, a body of Airmen dedicated to improving KMC service members.

“When I am able to do work and volunteer with the (KMC), it’s always rewarding,” Green said. “Being able to have an impact makes me proud.”

Green said she is thankful for the support she gets from her friends, co-workers and family in helping her receive the award, but she said she also knows she must lead by example and continue striving for perfection.

Tech. Sgt. Jessica Green, U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa surgeon general resource adviser, laughs while listening to Airmen during a leadership management class for junior Airmen March 6 at Ramstein.

AF waives renters insurance obligation in privatized housingby Breanne Smith Air Force Civil Engineer Center Public Affairs

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas — Airmen signing a lease to live in priva-tized homes on base may no longer be covered by a renters insurance provision, due to a recent Department of Defense change in basic allowance for housing.

The Department of Defense opted to eliminate the renters insurance component of BAH, an aver-age of $20 dollars each month per member, as of Jan. 1.

As a result of the BAH reduction, the Air Force removed requirements to provide renters insurance to military tenants at no cost previously included in privatized housing projects — a decision made to protect both Airmen and the housing program, said Mark Correll, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Environment, Safety and Infrastructure.

“Cuts to BAH inevitably affect the program in some manner,” he said. “When that happens, it’s our job to ensure adequate funding for the homes, core services and amenities in our housing com-munities.”

The policy change doesn’t negate current lease obligations to provide renters insurance. It does, however, allow housing project owners the flex-ibility to independently decide if they will con-tinue to provide renters insurance as part of a new or renewed lease. As a result, Airmen who live in privatized housing may have to purchase renters insurance out of pocket, as their colleagues who live off base currently do.

Although the Air Force doesn’t require Airmen to maintain independent rental insurance coverage, Correll said it has always been highly recommended for all Airmen, whether they live on or off base, to fully cover their personal property and provide liability coverage.

“Under the Claims Act, the government provides up to $40,000 worth of coverage to all Airmen who live in privatized housing situated on government-owned land,” he said, “However, it does not apply at a few projects where some or all of the privatized housing is located on private land. Also, that coverage only applies to personal belongings; it does not provide liability coverage and reimbursements may be limited under the Claims Act. Liability coverage is recom-mended to cover damage you, your pet or your belong-ings might cause to the house and other property.”

Local housing management or legal offices can help Airmen understand how the Act applies to their situation.

The Housing Privatization Program, managed by the Air Force Civil Engineer Center, uses private sector financing and expertise to provide necessary housing faster and more efficiently than traditional military construction processes allow.

Today, the Air Force’s HP program boasts more than 53,000 high-quality homes in its inventory, a success that Robert Moriarty, the AFCEC instal-lations director, attributes to careful planning and investment protection.

“More than $8 billion has been invested in this program with the expectation that these develop-ments will last 50 years,” he said. “That includes the cost of initial construction, renovations, mainte-nance and operation, as well as the costs associated with out-year development and sustainment plans — all of this depends on income from the BAH.”

The Air Force remains committed to providing quality housing communities where Air Force fami-lies will choose to live, Moriarty said.

by Staff Sgt. Warren W. Wright Jr.21st Theater Sustainment Command Public Affairs

When most people think of jobs in the Army, they don’t realize the multitude of opportuni-ties available to recruits looking to join. One 21st Theater Sustainment Command sergeant major, however, found instant harmony when he enlisted into the Army nearly 28 years ago.

Sgt. Maj. Shawn M. Firch, outgoing 21st TSC secretary general staff sergeant major and incoming command sergeant major of the Army School of Music in Norfolk, Virginia, has had an enormous passion for music most of his life. When it came time for his brother to join the Army, the idea struck a sour note until he learned of a surprising opportunity right on key.

“The recruiter was at my house trying to recruit my brother, which he eventually did, and when I walked in from band practice the recruit-er asked if I was interested in joining the Army,” Firch said. “I said heck no, I have no desire to go into the military whatsoever.”

Upon seeing Firch with his trumpet in hand, the recruiter responded with the perfect pitch, mention-ing the Army has bands. “Oh, really?” the trumpeter replied.

“I then sat down with him, received all of the information, and the next thing I knew I was on my way to Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, to take an audition,” Firch said. “I actually joined the Army and shipped off to basic training before my brother.”

Firch, a native of Germantown, Ohio, first became interested in playing music in fifth grade when a band came to his school and played for the students in an effort to get people involved with the band.

“I remember very vividly sitting on the bus and the band was going out to the football field for prac-tice and I saw someone with a trumpet,” Firch said. “I thought to myself, ‘Wow, that’s cool. It’s only got three buttons so how hard can it be? I want to play that.’ And that’s where it started.”

For Firch, being an Army musician and a musi-cian in general is much more than just a job.

“My favorite part about being a musician has been sharing my musical performance with other people for their enjoyment,” Firch said. “As I always tell people, music is a part of everybody’s life.”

Music has even played an instrumental role in shap-ing Firch’s private life. While stationed in Bamberg, Firch was performing in a ceremony in Wiesbaden — something he’s done many times before. However, this gig was different — this time, he would meet the woman who would become his wife.

“I was out visiting with a cousin when we met,” said Veronika Firch, Firch’s wife. “We decided to go out and we just connected.”

They have been married for 15 years, and music has become just as much a part of Veronika’s life as it has been for her husband.

“We often go to many different concerts,” Veronika said. “I definitely encourage him. I like to sit and listen to the different songs he’s learning to play on the guitar and I definitely try to support him as much as I can.”

Even when Veronika was accepting her U.S. citizenship, Firch and his musical passion were involved.

“There were a lot of people there becoming U.S. citizens and he was there playing for us and it was amazing,” Veronika said. “He wasn’t actually play-ing, but conducting the band. He stopped the whole band just so he could talk to me and congratulate me.”

Firch’s support to those he cares about extends well outside of his immediate family and definitely includes his Army band of brothers.

One noncommissioned officer, Sgt. 1st Class Bill

Hobson, a logistics and resources manager with the U.S. Army Europe Band and Chorus, served with Firch while on deployment to Iraq in 2006. He recalled how Firch was a no- nonsense kind of guy who did what he needed to do — take care of his fellow Soldiers.

“When we went to Iraq, the division tasked us with a lot of stuff other than music to do and rather than fold and let the band handle the task,” Hobson said. “He battled it out and was able to figure out a way to split the band in order to make sure that both music and duty were covered so that everyone could con-tinue their professional development, be able to practice, be able to perform and raise the morale of the troops. It was very important to him that we were able to do our actual job and bring morale to the troops that were going out to the fight.”

Hobson said Firch not only provided support to his Soldiers on duty, but his leadership struck

a note in his Soldiers’ personal lives as well.One example was when Firch took the time to go

see Hobson perform. “My rock band played downrange and (Firch)

made it a point to come out and watch,” Hobson said. “When I saw him digging it, it really made my day.”

As a senior enlisted leader, Firch does not get the opportunity to play in Army bands anymore, how-ever, that does not keep him from continuing with his passion for music.

“My primary instrument has been the trumpet for pretty much my whole life,” Firch said. “Now, I don’t play the trumpet very often at all.”

But another instrument struck a chord with the sergeant major.

“About two years ago, I got passionate about learning the guitar,” Firch said. “So I went with a friend who’s a retired musician in the Army band, and we sat down in (a guitar store) in Washington state, hooked up a guitar and from then on I’ve had the guitar fever.”

Firch practices playing the guitar almost every night at home, and on certain occasions has even brought his guitar into work to help teach others how to play.

Firch said he eagerly looks forward to his new gig.

Approximately 30 patients have been treated with positive results through the Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy pro-gram since it was donated to LRMC last October by the Wounded Warrior Project. Results have been good, said Maj. (Dr.) Michael Valdovinos, chief of outpatient behavioral health.

“It’s an extremely effective treat-ment because it is a patient’s personal-ized reality that they learn to process, control and regulate,” Valdovinos said. “Visual memory is powerful, and if I can use that to help patients create their own movie scene, then they can move into it to rewrite their own script.”

The outpatient behavioral health

team uses VRET to help patients with a specific part of their trauma they might not have successfully resolved through other forms of treatment. For example, Valdovinos said he had a patient who felt like he emotionally just couldn’t get past losing his best

friend during a firefight in a building where they were ambushed.

Valdovinos said they were able to recreate the scenario of the build-ing, and when the service member “walked” into the building for the first time since the incident, he was very

anxious at first, but was able to remain in the virtual doorway of the building for about 15 minutes.

The service member experienced the scenario over and over again until he was able to enter the building and move around with mortars going off and insurgents attacking in the streets below. Valdovinos said this repetition of virtually recreating the anxiety- proving event helps decrease the anxi-ety symptoms and fear surrounding it. At the same time, it’s helping service members learn to process the negative thoughts surrounding the trauma.

LRMC has the Army’s largest out-patient behavioral health clinic in Europe and is the only Army instal-lation in Europe to offer VRET. The Landstuhl Outpatient Behavioral Health Clinic also offers the capability using this innovative therapy to teach mindfulness and other relaxation tech-niques. Dr. Kendra Jorgensen-Wagers is a clinician who, in addition to using VRET to treat PTSD, offers VRET to treat chronic pain.

by Capt. Mary Andrea Ugaddan 212th Combat Support Hospital Public Affairs

The 212th Combat Support Hospital celebrated Resolute Day Feb. 27 with a challenging and creative physical readiness training session focused on Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness in support of the Army’s ready and resilient campaign plan.

Working as a team to achieve the highest cumulative points, Soldiers navigated through a total of five sta-tions: caterpillar pushup, guerilla drill, Humvee push, sandbag relay and pull ups.

During the caterpillar pushup, the team formed a circle and had their feet on the next person’s shoulder. Each push up completed as a unit earned points. For the guerilla drill, the team did a set of lunges, shoulder rolls and fireman’s carry for 50 meters to score. For the Humvee challenge, the team scored one point for every Humvee pushed for a distance of 200 meters. The sandbag relay was next, where each 15-pound sandbag carried one lap around the track (roughly 320 meters) earned a point. At the pullup bars, for every three pullups, a team-scored a point.

A platoon from 212th CSH Headquarters Detachment won the event with a score of 976 points fol-lowed by a platoon from B Company in second place with 833 points. The finale was a mystery event, which was later revealed as tug of war between officers and senior noncomissioned officers against the staff sergeants and below. B Company staff sergeants and below emerged as the tug of war champions.

Resolute Day is the last day of Hospital Readiness Week when all of its Soldiers, a great majority of whom are health care providers at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, train together. It is an excellent time for Soldiers to experience the tenets of the Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness firsthand, building resilience and enhancing performance through the five dimensions of strength: social, emotion-al, family, physical and spiritual.

Once every quarter, the CSH con-ducts a physical readiness train-ing incorporating the principles of Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness. Under the guidance of 212th CSH Command Sgt. Maj. Michael Howard, events are conceptualized and executed through the unit’s mas-ter resiliency trainer and the unit min-istry team.

In the past, the CSH participated in zumba as well as a battle-focused team obstacle course with resilien-

cy pointers creatively injected in the physical readiness training.

The 160th Forward Surgical Team took the lead in planning, organizing and executing this quarter’s fun, inno-vative and challenging Resolute Day physical readiness training.

When asked how they came up with the idea, Maj. Gustavo Moreno, commander of the 160th, said the Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness calls for “applying the team concept in everyday activities and not only when there is a mission.”

“The relay course was a great opportunity for Soldiers to problem-solve and think critically as a team,” said Sgt. David Renfroe, one of the NCOs who conceptualized the event.

Pfc. Ian Harrison, a B Company medic who has been with the CSH since April 2014, said, “Today’s phys-ical readiness training event was the best team building experience I’ve had since being with CSH.”

JA warns against office betting poolsCourtesy of the 86th Airlift Wing Judge Advocate Office

March Madness is here, and though it is an exciting time of year, it can also be a potentially dangerous time for Airmen who are unaware of Department of Defense regulations regarding gam-bling.

With the beginning of the NCAA basketball tour-nament, many will be creating brackets and betting money on their picks to win each round, but before putting your money in an office pool, the following guidance is important to remember.

According to the Joint Ethics Regulation (DOD 5500.7-R), DOD employees shall neither partici-pate in gambling activities while on base nor while on duty. This includes both military and civilian personnel.

Gambling has been found to consist of three ele-ments: an activity requiring payment or wagering something of value, an element of “chance” and a goal to win a reward or prize.

Although some Airmen may believe their bracket picks involve a level of skill, there is simply too much of an element of chance involved. NCAA tournament betting is gambling. Also, officers need to remember that gambling with a subordinate may constitute a violation of Articles 133 and 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The potential for this to occur is much higher when participating in an office pool. It is not worth risking your career.

Furthermore, DOD personnel should not use their office computers to bet during March Madness or at any other time. Besides violating the Joint Ethics Regulation, this might be considered a misuse of government property.

For example, there was an instance where a group of people ran a fantasy football league on their gov-ernment computers.

Each member paid $10 to play, and the win-ner was obligated to buy pizza for the rest of the group, actually spending more than he even won. The members only participated in the fantasy football league during breaks and at lunch time; however, this was still found to be gambling. These activities were also a misuse of government resources because the computers were government property.

If anyone is considering betting on the NCAA tournament, they should remain informed about Air Force regulations regarding such activities. Those who are unsure if a gambling-type activity is per-mitted should contact the Staff Judge Advocate’s office at 480-5911.

CSH gets creative with physical readiness training“I’m very excited about the

assignment,” Firch said. “I will get the opportunity to lead at more of a level that has a strategic impact on the Army band field and how it supports the overall mission of the Army.”

For Army band members, there are only eight sergeants major throughout the entire Army, and of those eight, only one is nom-inated to be the command ser-geant major of the Army School of Music.

“He’s an excellent choice for (command sergeant major) of the Army School of Music,” said Sgt. Maj. Pedro Quiñones, the USAREUR Band and Chorus sergeant major. “I competed for that board as well and when his name came up I was covered with mixed emotions. I was sad that I didn’t get selected, but happy that Firch was. It is definitely right on point that he was selected for that position.”

“He’s an awesome leader and I think he’s going to bring a new perspective to the school of music and I think he’s definitely up for the challenge,” Hobson added.

Firch’s appointment as the com-mand sergeant major of the Army School of Music will go a long way in helping him reinforce his convic-tion that the Army music program is a valuable component to the Army family.

“I’m really passionate about the Army music program and how we contribute to the overall mission of the Army,” Firch said. “It’s a passion of mine to ensure that Army music stays relevant, ready and uti-lized by other organizations.”

21st TSC CSM recognizes MP for ‘doing the right thing’Story and photo by Staff Sgt. Warren W. Wright Jr.21st Theater Sustainment Command Public Affairs

Command Sgt. Maj. Rodney J. Rhoades, senior enlisted

leader of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, rec-ognized a military police member for his integrity and doing the right thing dur-ing a gathering March 5 on Sembach Kaserne.

The command sergeant major frequently recognizes his Soldiers for stellar perfor-mance, but this presentation was unique. Rhoades recog-nized the young MP for writ-ing him a parking ticket.

While on patrol earli-er this month, Pvt. Connor Stennett, an MP with the 92nd MP Company, 709th MP Battalion and 18th MP Brigade, issued Rhoades a parking citation for park-ing in a loading zone at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center.

“We have to do what’s right, and I applaud you each and every day for doing what’s right,” Rhoades said to Stennett and the other MPs of the 92nd.

For a junior enlisted

Soldier and an MP, sometimes it can be difficult to do the right thing when it comes to dealing with senior leader-ship.

“He did exactly what a professional law enforce-ment officer would do,” said 1st Sgt. Edgar Ford, 92nd MP Co. first sergeant. “We’re very proud of him. He hasn’t been here very long, but he’s motivated and he’s

out there trying to make a dif-ference.”

For Rhoades, receiving the parking citation was a chance for him to identify something he was doing wrong and make a correction.

“Five times I parked there after seeing others do the same thing,” Rhoades said. “I followed what everybody else was doing.”

“After receiving the ticket I

looked up at this big pole and it said, ‘Drop off and pick up zone only,’” Rhoades con-tinued. “He took care of me. Five times I parked there and I was taking away from some-one dropping off or picking up their children. I don’t want to do that, but I wasn’t paying attention.”

Rhoades added that Stennett did the right thing in intervening and that it’s

important for military mem-bers, regardless of rank, to understand that no one is above the law.

“He gave me a ticket that made me recognize and iden-tify something I wasn’t pay-ing attention to,” Rhoades said. “He did his job and it matters.”

For the Soldiers of the 92nd, Stennett’s actions were not any different than how each member is expected to act.

“We want to provide pro-fessional law enforcement to the community and, if we’re doing that, then rank or posi-tion doesn’t matter,” Ford said. “The only thing that matters is what is presented in front of the police officer.”

While Stennett did not rec-ognize right away who he was issuing the parking cita-tion to, he said that given any other situation or someone of any other rank he “wouldn’t have done anything differ-ent.”

For Stennett, having Rhoades personally travel to the 92nd and speak to the company meant a lot to him and the other Soldiers.

“I feel pretty honored,” Stennett said. “I am just fresh out of (advanced individual training) and it was nice to be recognized for doing my job.”

US, German logistics commands renew partnershipby Ronnie Schelby 21st Theater Sustainment Command Public Affairs

Maj. Gen. John O’Connor, 21st Theater Sustainment Command com-mander, and Maj. Gen. Hans Erich Antoni, Bundeswehr Logistics Command commander, signed a Memorandum of Agreement March 5 at Panzer Kaserne. This event marked the first formal renewal of the U.S.-German military logistics partnership in almost 20 years.

The world was different 20 years ago. At that time, NATO involvement overseas focused on reforger mis-sions. These Cold War-era exercises were conducted to ensure that NATO could deploy forces overseas quickly, if needed.

“Reforger exercises demonstrated NATO alliance resolve that countered communist threats to peace, freedom and prosperity,” O’Connor said.

“Today’s challenges, in what only can be described as an increas-ingly destabilizing global secu-rity environment, can best be tackled by identifying common ground among partners and by pursu-ing a mutually beneficial cooperation in selected areas,” Antoni said. “In our case, in the area of military logistics.”

The renewal of the partnership agreement comes at a time in which the Army is focused on improv-ing military interoperability and capacity with partners and allies in Europe — a concept coined “Strong Europe.”

Formal NATO partnerships are central to the Strong Europe frame-work.

“They (help) educate, train and develop leaders, increasing readiness and enabling the alliance,” O’Connor said. “Our bilateral agree-ment testifies to the strength and power of our shared vision. Moving

forward, we will forge strong teams while ensuring peace and stability throughout the region.”

After the signing ceremony, the official party toured a number of

support centers for the 21st TSC, including the Theater Logistics Support Center-Europe, maintenance activity Kaiserslautern and the 6966th Truck Transportation Terminal.

Not only the Irish observe St. Patrick’s Day Mondayby Petra Lessoing86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

The Irish celebrate a national and religious holiday Monday — St. Patrick’s Day.

St. Patrick’s Day is a day to honor Ireland’s first Christian missionary. March 17 is also an official holi-day in Northern Ireland, the British overseas territory of Montserrat and the Canadian province of Newfoundland. Even in many other countries, Irish emigrants and even non-Irish celebrate the day with festivals, parades and other events.

The St. Patrick’s Day cus-tom came to America in 1737. The first parade with 770 par-ticipants was held in 1843 in

Chicago. Today, more than 100 cities in the states hold St. Patrick’s Day parades, the largest of which is in New York City.

In Germany, the Irish in Munich hold their 20th St. Patrick’s Day parade start-ing at noon Sunday from Münchner Freiheit leading to Odeonsplatz. At 12:45 p.m., a shamrock will be blessed and dignitaries will hold speech-es before and after a parade party with an entertaining program that will continue until 5:30 p.m.

Another event highlight-ing St. Patrick’s Day will be the “Greening Flash Mob.” Visitors are asked to wear something green, come to Marienplatz and watch how the lights of Munich’s city hall change to green at 6:15 p.m. Tuesday.

In fact, St. Patrick was not Irish. He was reportedly born in Scotland around 385 near the town of Dumbarton. His

real name is believed to be Maewyn Succat and his par-ents belonged to a Roman family of high rank.

Patrick lived a normal life for 16 years before he

was captured by pirates and forced into slavery in Ireland. He was never interested in God or the church, but being away from home and all alone, he turned to God and learned to pray while herd-ing sheep.

After being a slave for six years, Patrick dreamed that God told him it was time to go home. So he escaped on foot across 200 miles of unknown land. After an adventurous sea voyage, he finally returned home.

A couple of months later he visited St. Martin’s mon-astery at Tours and the island sanctuary of Lerins. Patrick placed himself under the guidance of a bishop, St. Germain. Several years later he was promoted to priest-hood. He engaged in mis-sionary works, and after the bishop recommend-ed Patrick to the Pope, he traveled to Rome. Pope Celestine entrusted Patrick with the mission of bringing Christianity to Ireland.

Since he learned the Celtic language during his years of slavery, it was easy for him to spread the word of Christianity. He conquered one kingdom after another and destroyed Paganism.

Despite several death threats, Patrick baptized, con-firmed, preached and built churches, schools and monas-teries. St. Patrick was arrested several times, but he managed to escape each time. He suc-ceeded in converting almost

the entire population of the island.

Patrick died on March 17, 461, in Downpatrick, Ireland. That’s why St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated March 17.

There are many legends to tell about Patrick. One says he used the shamrock, which resembles a three-leafed clo-ver, to explain the meaning of the trinity. He used it in his sermons to represent how the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. His followers adopt-ed the custom of wearing a shamrock on his feast day.

Finding a four-leafed clo-ver on St. Patrick’s Day is supposed to bring double good luck.

Kissing the Blarney Stone supposedly brings the kiss-er the gift of persuasive elo-quence. The stone is set in the wall of the castle tower in the Irish village of Blarney. It is hard to reach being between the main castle wall and the parapet. Kissers have to lie on their backs and bend back-

ward and downward, holding iron bars for support.

The origins of the Blarney Stone’s magical properties aren’t clear, but one legend says that an old woman cast a spell on the stone to reward a king who had saved her from drowning.

Also associated with the Irish holiday are leprechauns. Otherwise known as Irish fairies, leprechauns are small, unsociable, unfriendly men, who live alone. They are dressed like shoemakers, with a cocked hat and a leather apron.

Legend says they possess a hidden pot of gold. If the leprechaun is caught by a treasure hunter, he must give the hunter the location of the gold. If the leprechaun can trick the hunter and vanish, all hopes of finding the treasure are lost.

The color green is asso-ciated with St. Patrick’s Day because it is the color of spring, a shamrock and a color in Ireland’s flag.

In many countries, peo-ple wear something green. School children started a tra-dition of their own — pinch-ing classmates who forgot to wear green.

The Association for the Advancement of German-French Partnership will sponsor its 21st annu-al Easter market from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Sunday at Niederkirchen’s Westpfalzhalle. Volunteers helped to decorate the com-munity hall with colorful flowers and Easter decorations to lure a lot of visitors from all over.

“We want to offer our visi-tors a special and unique market atmosphere,” said the association’s executive committee mem-ber Jürgen Feind. “Numerous exhibitors will display their handcrafted art items, arti-cles of daily use and Easter decorations.” Artists will offer handmade wooden items, flo-

ristic Easter items, baskets, ceramics, jewelry, glass products, tatting and turning works, clay objects for the house and the garden, brooms, brushes, natural soap, bird houses and acces-sories for the house.

“Like each year, we’ll offer French culinary specialties and selected wines from Germany and France,” said Jürgen Kupfer, chef in charge of the event. “We also serve homemade cakes and coffee.”

Children can participate in a children’s raffle and a painting contest.

Admission fee is €1. Children under 14 are admitted free.

“The diversified exhibition of Easter items is worth a visit and I’m sure that every visitor will find something,” Feind said.

Niederkirchen is located north of Otterberg, past Schallodenbach.

Spring market, car exhibition lures visitorsby Petra Lessoing86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

On Saturday and Sunday, Kaiserslautern’s advertising associa-tion, Kaiser in Lautern, will offer a spring market combined with a car exhibition and Sunday shopping. The city of Kaiserslautern is co-spon-soring the event as a way to say goodbye to winter and promote local businesses.

The annual event called “Lautern bursts into bloom,” will highlight the beginning of spring with a variety of activities, stage performances, fash-ions shows and food specialties in the center of town both Saturday and Sunday.

“We expect several thousands of visitors and want to show them what all we have to offer,” said Alexander Hess, chief of the Kaiserslautern advertising association.

On Sunday, stores will be open from 1 to 6 p.m., and a car exhibi-tion will display the latest vehicles on Stiftsplatz.

Stores, restaurant and pub owners, as well as other various institutions, will present a diversifi ed program to entertain and lure costumers and families asking them to take part in numerous activities and enjoy special offers.

“The traditional primrose pyramid will be set up on Schillerplatz,” Hess

said. “We will pass out more than 3,000 primroses to visitors.”

Other activities will include local sports clubs presenting performanc-es on a stage at Schillerplatz. The clubs ask that visitors take part in “Fit in Lautern.” A local dancing school, ballet studio and square dance club will also be there to entertain the audience.

Radio station RPR1 will have a stage set up in front of their studio in Fackelstrasse. They will present an unplugged entertainment pro-gram and offer guided tours of the studio.

In Riesenstrasse, a local kindergar-ten, will offer face painting, a bouncy castle, balloons, coffee and cakes. The local rabbit breeding association will present living Easter rabbits, and the Easter bunny will show up to surprise children with sweets.

A free kiddie train will start and stop on Schillerplatz.

Fashion shows are scheduled to highlight the new spring collection on Pirmasenser Strasse and Rummel-strasse.

Food booths will be set up in dif-ferent locations, and a French market will serve delicacies on Kerstrasse.

Various bands and walking acts will provide entertainment in the streets.

These bands and walking acts will also perform Sunday starting at 11 a.m. For more information, visit www.werbegemeinschaft-kl.de.

For their first stop of a multi-country tour, the USO brought Indianapolis Colts players Andrew Luck and Dwayne Allen; Colts coach Chuck Pagano; Pittsburgh Steelers player David DeCastro; and entertainers Philip Phillips, Dennis Haysbert, Miss America 2015 Kira Kazantsev, Ace Young, Diana DeGarmo and Jason “Wee Man” Acuna to Ramstein to visit military members and their families.

Stars make small stop for big thanks

by Senior Airman Damon Kasberg86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Team Ramstein welcomed 10 celebrities to the base during the USO Spring Troop Visit March 3.

The tour was led by Adm. James Winnefeld Jr., vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and included Colts coach Chuck Pagano; Colts players Andrew Luck and Dwayne Allen; Pittsburgh Steelers player David DeCastro; and entertainers Diana DeGarmo, Ace Young, Dennis Haysbert, Miss America 2015 Kira Kazantsev, Phillip Phillips and

Jason “Wee Man” Acuna. The group is traveling the world to thank military

members and their families for what they do.“America’s military — men and women who rep-

resent the best of our communities — is serving in all corners of the globe to protect our great nation and our freedoms,” Winnefeld said. “As we embark on this eight-day seven-country USO tour, our group of athletes and entertainers will express their personal gratitude to those serving by sharing their talents.”

Though the celebrities were only on the ground at Ramstein for three hours, they still made time to

visit service members at the 37th Airlift Squadron and Kaiserslautern Military Community Center, where they performed for an audience of several hundred.

“It’s great to be here with all these service men and service women,” said Luck, quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts. “I have a high respect for what the military does, what the men and women sacrifice for our country. We really appreciate everything they do.”

The tour is designed to be a moment-filled trip, complete with high-energy shows and memorable base visits. For many service members the design was perfect, creating a moment they would never forget.

“It’s a fantastic experience and one I will remember for the rest of my life,” said Airman 1st Class Scott Braun, 86th Aerospace Medicine Squadron bioen-vironmental engineering technician. “It was great to have American celebrities and stars bring us a slice of home to Germany. They are a fantastic group of people who seemed like they wanted and really enjoyed being here and talking to the military members.”

Ramstein was the first stop for the group, and though they only got a small taste of the mission here, they will no doubt see the impact the armed forces makes around the world and the influence their visit will have on those serving away from home.

Story and photo by Airman 1st Class Tryphena Mayhugh86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Banding together, forging lasting bonds and rising up to face adversity head-on are concepts often related to the armed forces, but these connec-tions are not limited to the battlefield - at least not the traditional ones.

The KMC Eagles formed such a bond in a hockey rink, and it spread to other aspects of their lives.

“All cliches aside, we play to have fun,” said Staff Sgt. Adam Sacchetti, 86th Security Forces Squadron unit fitness program manager and KMC Eagles coach. “This is a team that’s like a family. Airmen come and go, but the players make the most of what we have by not only playing the sport we all love, but also volunteering and helping within the community.”

For many players on the team, put-ting on the jersey and giving every-thing to back up fellow teammates on the ice is only half the job.

“The best time to be an Eagle is when we are out in the community doing various events,” said Staff Sgt. Brandyn Shelly, 86th Vehicle Readiness Squadron unit material control purchas-ing agent and player for the team. “We have an opportunity to know the real person under the jersey and a chance to make a difference in their lives. It brings us together as a family.

“The Eagles come out in full force to events around the community,” Shelly continued. “We participate in events from 5Ks to cooking for wounded warriors to raising money for charities around the KMC. The Eagles family will be there and do anything we can to help others.”

Knowing that time can be a limita-tion for some members who may only be in the area for a season or two, the players do what they can to keep morale high and provide an environ-ment that allows the team to feel like equals.

“Rank doesn’t apply here,” Sacchetti said. “I’m not a staff sergeant; I’m just Adam, or ‘Boston’ as some may say. We have junior enlisted to colonels, retirees, dependents and spouses alike. When it comes to the ice, you suit up and you are a fellow Eagle.”

A close-knit team can provide rewards on the ice as much as it can for the member’s personal lives. The Eagles faced off against teams from all across Europe in the Armed Forces Alpine Classic Hockey Tournament Feb. 12 to 14 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, and ultimately won, becom-ing the 23rd annual AFAC Division 1 Champions.

“It’s the most coveted trophy to win here,” Sacchetti said. “You have real bragging rights, because the winner is known as the best armed forces team in Europe. It says a lot about our team, but it also says a lot about the KMC. As those final 10 seconds ticked off the clock and we won the champion-ship 4-2, it defined the result of our hard work. I feel it reflects exactly how the people on our team show their willingness to go further than they think they can for one another - we play for each other on this team.”

The Eagles’ dedication to one anoth-er does not end with current members of the team. Airman 1st Class Zachary Cuddeback, a team member killed by a gunman at Frankfurt Airport March 2, 2011, is still remembered and hon-ored today.

“No one currently on the Eagles

1 team now has played with Airman Cuddeback, but remembering him is something that is carried on from year to year,” Sacchetti said. “He is never forgotten. We maintain a saying that once an Eagle always an Eagle, and Cudde (his nickname) will always be one of us.”

The team has found many differ-ent avenues to show respect to their fallen teammate. Cuddeback’s jersey, No. 16, has been retired and hangs in his squadron, the 86th VRS. The Eagles organization also created the Cuddeback Cup, which is an annu-al hockey tournament hosted by the KMC Eagles.

“We invite up to 14 teams from all over Germany to participate in this competition in honor of Cuddeback,” Sacchetti said. “Fortunately, in the two times this tournament has occurred thus far, we are the two-time defend-ing champs.”

As another way to show respect, more than 20 members of the Eagles

and their families, along with other members of the community, par-ticipated in the fourth annual A1C Zachary Cuddeback Memorial 5K run, held Feb. 28 at the Ramstein Southside Fitness Center.

“It honors Airman Cuddeback by remembering all the good he did and all the lives that he impacted,” Shelly said. “Cuddeback had an impact on everyone at the 5K, even if they did not meet him personally. It hits the Eagles especially hard because he played for the Eagles and was a part of our hockey family. Participating in the memorial run is just one of the ways that we can remember him and his time with the KMC Eagles.”

Though the Eagles 1 team may be constantly changing members, the feelings of camaraderie and fellow-ship continue to be passed along as the next players come in, teaching the next generation to give 100 percent to the team, the community and the Air Force.

Cinderella

Young Ella’s merchant father remar-ries following the death of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new step-mother and her daughters Anastasia and Drisella into the family home. But, when Ella’s father unexpectedly passes away, she � nds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family. Finally relegated to nothing more than a servant girl covered in ashes, and spitefully renamed Cinderella, Ella easily begins to lose hope. Yet, despite the cruelty in� ict-ed upon her, Ella is determined to honor her mother’s dying words and to “have courage and be kind.” She

will not give in to despair nor despise those who mistreat her. And then there is the dashing stranger she meets in the woods. Unaware that he is really a prince, not merely an apprentice at the palace, Ella � nally feels she has met a kindred soul. It appears her fortunes may be about to change when the palace sends out an open invitation for all maidens to attend a ball, raising Ella’s hopes of once again encountering the charm-ing Kit.

Starring Lily James, Cate Blanchett

Seventh Sun

An evil is about to be unleashed that will reignite the war between the forces of the supernatural and humankind once more. Master Gregory is a knight who imprisoned the malevolently powerful witch, Mother Malkin, centuries ago. But now she has escaped and is seeking vengeance.

Starring Julianne Moore, Je� Bridges

Chappie

Every child comes into the world full of promise, and none more so than Chappie: he is gifted, special, a prodigy. Like any child, Chappie will come under the in� uence of his sur-roundings -- some good, some bad -- and he will rely on his heart and soul to � nd his way in the world and become his own man. But there’s one thing that makes Chappie dif-ferent from anyone else: he is a robot. The � rst robot with the ability to think and feel for himself. His life, his story, will change the way the world looks at robots and humans forever.

Starring Sharlto Copley, Dev Patel
