WASHINGTON – You just signed up for a Facebook profile and a four-star general already wants to be your friend. Good thing right? Not likely.

Fake profiles, impostors and online scams litter the social media landscape, and as social media evolves, so do the tactics of online crooks. As social media use becomes more prevalent in today’s Army, many Army leaders and Soldiers recognize that effective social media education is the best way to keep Soldiers from falling into the traps set by social media scam artists.

“It’s still the wild west out there,” said

Army stresses caution, education to combat social media scammersDo you know who your ‘friends’ are?Social Media DivisionOffice of the Chief of Public Affairs

Staff Sgt. Dale Sweetnam, the noncom-missioned officer in charge of the Online and Social Media Division in the Office of the Chief of Public Affairs. “You have to stay vigilant, protect your information and always be on the lookout for social media scams.”

The Army authorizes the use of social media in both official and personal ca-pacities, but Sweetnam said the threats are always present so education is key. Social media scam artists work tirelessly to steal personal information, impersonate Soldiers and try to acquire sensitive information.

“We are all familiar with the Nigerian money scam emails that used to plague our email accounts a few years ago, right? Well

now that our online use has evolved, so have scammers,” said Maj. Juanita Chang, the Army’s director of OSMD.

“If you are a scammer who wants to build someone’s trust and then con them into sending you money, doesn’t it make sense to steal the identity of someone America trusts – and nobody is held in higher esteem than our military members, so they make a lucrative case to impersonate,” said Chang. “People inherently trust the military and wouldn’t imagine being conned by a Soldier or a general with a chest full of medals.”

In 2009, the Robin Sage Experiment effectively demonstrated how people re-spond to social media scams. In December of 2009, Provide Security, a cyber security

company, created fake Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin profiles for a person they named “Robin Sage.” Sage claimed to be “Cyber Threat Analyst.”

Over the next few months, the fake per-sona collected hundreds of friends and over time, slowly extracted sensitive information from those in the intelligence and cyber communities.

Not only does the Robin Sage Experi-ment demonstrate how easy it is for someone to penetrate social media circles, it shows that even some of the most security-minded individuals are still susceptible to attacks.

Not every social media scam is as com-

Zama citizens visit historical monuments on Camp Zama

Photos by Tetsuo NakaharaApproximately 60 students from Asunaro University view the “Sobudai Monument,” the largest of all the Japanese Imperial Military Academy monuments on Camp Zama, Friday near the installation’s main gate. There are more than 25 JIMA monu-ments on Camp Zama, which were dedicated to the academy campus by the staff and students between 1937 and 1945.

A tour of some of Camp Zama’s key historical sites was given to approximately 60 students from Asunaro University when they came to the installation Friday for a daylong educational visit.

Asunaro University, run by the Zama City office, was founded to raise the educa-tional motivation for elderly citizens there. The students must be over 60 years old to enroll in the school. Currently, more than 170 students attend to learn various subjects of lifelong study such as culture, history and local community.

The tour was focused on providing the students a glimpse of some of the histori-cal monuments related to Rikugun Shikan Gakko, the Japanese Imperial Military Academy formerly housed on the installa-tion. There are more than 25 JIMA monu-ments on Camp Zama, all of which were dedicated to the academy campus by staff and students between 1937 and 1945.

The group walked from monument to monument as they were told the history of Camp Zama. The sites they visited dur-ing the tour included Bldg. 533 (the Boy Scout Troop 34 hut), the Otakebi Shrine, the Music Theater Workshop, and several stone monuments.

For the culmination of the tour, the stu-dents visited the “emperor’s shelter,” which is located near the Camp Zama Chapel. The shelter was originally built in 1942, and is a 55-foot-long zigzagging tunnel. Several members of the group mentioned feelings of nostalgia as they walked through the shelter.

“It’s been 15 years since I visited Camp Zama the last time,” said Kohei Domon, a student at Asunaro University. “I remember that I felt like I was in America as soon as I walked onto the base then. But today, I’m surprised to see that there are many Japa-nese historical sites inside of the base. The Music Theater Workshop is still the original structure, and the emperor’s shelter looked very strong. I felt the friendship between Japan and the U.S. after seeing that the U.S. military maintained these Japanese historical monuments.”

At the end of the tour, the group visited the “Sobudai Monument” near the main gate, which is the largest of all the Military Academy monuments on Camp Zama.

After observ-ing the graduation ceremony of the 50th graduating class in the late 1930s, the Em-peror told Army Minister General Gen. Sugiyama to name the cam-pus Sobudai – the Military Training Heights in Sagami – after the name mentioned in an epic of Crown Prince Yamato Takeru, described in the Ancient Chronicles of Ja-pan. The Sobudai monument was concealed in the

ground by a group of soldiers at the academy shortly after Japan’s surrender to the Allies in 1945. It remained buried until it was restored to its original spot in 1947.

“Most of our students moved into Zama City after they had married and wanted to take up residence there,” said Kenya Uematsu, director of the Zama City East Region Culture Center. “We try to give opportunities to our students to know more about Zama City. The Japanese Imperial Military Academy and Camp Zama are two of the major sites in the modern history of Zama City. It’s a great learning opportunity to think about Zama City. I hope this will help give the students a vision for how to develop their local community.”

In 1895, the War Department issued General Order 46 directing commanders to establish an Exchange at every post. Since then, Exchange associates have faithfully served alongside the servicemembers of the United States during peace and times of war. Whether at Camp Zama or Bagram Air Base, they live the Exchange’s motto: “We Go Where You Go.”

Exactly 116 years later, the Camp Zama Exchange is marking the oc-casion by offering 16 cents off per gallon of gas from Monday through Wednesday when patrons use their Military Star Card or Military Star Rewards Card.

The discount comes in addition to the everyday five-cent discount Military Star cardholders enjoy when filling up at the Camp Zama Gas Sta-tion. The promotion is just the latest example of the discounts and deals of-fered by the Exchange during holidays and other special occasions.

“It is our way of saying thanks,” said the Exchange’s General Man-ager, Shirley A. Huth. “If it were not for the warfighters of the United States military, the Exchange would not be where it is today.”

To apply for the Military Star Card and Military Star Rewards Card, log onto www.shopmyexchange.com and click the link to Exchange Credit Program or visit the customer ser-vice department at the Camp Zama Exchange.

SOCIAL MEDIA, from Page 1

-plex and thought out as the Robin Sage experiment. In many cases, people will simply go online, become “friends” with a Soldier in uniform, steal the photo and use it as their own profile photo. Some individuals have actually taken the identity of a deceased Soldier and used as to solicit money from unsuspecting victims.

One such incident was reported by the New York Post earlier this year. It happens to deceased Soldiers, active Soldiers and even Army leaders.

“I spend a few hours a week searching social media platforms for people posing as Army leaders,” Sweetnam said. “We work hard to protect the digital integrity of our Army leaders. It’s disappointing to find that there are so many scam artists out there, but for now, that’s just the way it is.”

Sweetnam said that fake pages also exist for Army organizations, so he suggested that those interested in finding official Army social media presences should check out the Army’s Social Media Directory.

Sweetnam said that regardless of how involved you are with social media, it’s important to always be on the lookout for scams. He said that you should never “friend” someone you don’t actually know in person on Facebook. You should also do periodic Google searches for your name to make sure nobody is using your name and likeness for personal gain. And, of course, always keep operations security in mind.

“OPSEC should always be the paramount concern,” said Sweetnam. “Throughout our Army career, we are trained on the impor-tance of OPSEC. Maintaining information security should apply not only during deployments, but each time you sign on to Facebook or Tweet.”

Sweetnam said OSMD has produced and distributed dozens of training docu-ments detailing effective and safe social media use.

These materials can be found on the Army’s Slideshare site. One of the more comprehensive resources developed by the

OSMD is the Social Media Handbook which examines everything from blogging to using social media for crisis communications.

To stay safe, the Online and Social Media Division suggests that social media users take several precautions when using social media.

• It’s important to not share information that users don’t want to become public.

• Verify a “friend” request by phone or other means before allowing access. Group “friends” (e.g., real life, co-workers, strang-ers, etc.) and control access permissions based on the groups.

• Take a close look at all privacy settings. Set security options to allow visibility to “friends only.”

• Users should be careful about what they post about their personal and profes-sional lives on social media platforms. Once something is out there, users can’t control where it goes.

• Be cautious when listing job, military

organization, education and contact infor-mation.

• Ensure that information posted online has no significant value to the enemy. Al-ways assume that the enemy is reading every post made to a social media platform.

• Closely review photos before they go online. Make sure they do not give away sensitive information which could be dan-gerous if released.

• Make sure to talk to family about op-erations security and what can and cannot be posted.

• Create different, strong passwords for each online account. Never give password information away.

“Social media is an exciting space,” said Sweetnam. “There is a lot the Army can achieve using social media and there are endless benefits for Soldiers and their families. But we have to be safe and we have to be on the lookout for those who wish to ruin a good thing.”

Energy-saving notice

Due to the current state of emergency and the limited electrical power generation capability across Japan, the following measures will be implemented immediately:

1. Turn off all unnecessary lights, especially in office spaces, classrooms and conference rooms, and turn down all remaining individual lighting levels where possible.

2. Turn off Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems. If shutdown is not possible during this heating season, turn thermostats down to 68 degrees or be-low. Reduce settings to 55 degrees at the end of the day.

3. Turn off all appliances when not in use.4. Maximize use of natural ventilation where feasible

and dress appropriately to maximize individual comfort.5. Clean or replace your air-conditioner filters.6. Maximize use of day-lighting in work areas an class-

rooms (use of sunlight in lieu of conventional power).7. Set computers, monitors, printers, copiers, and other

business equipment to their energy-saving modes, and turn them off if not in use and at the end of the day or as instructed by the 78th Signal Battalion.

8. Minimize energy usage during peak demand hours from 5 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. The major peaks occur from noon to 6 p.m. during normal work and school hours. The energy use during this period can be reduced by “load shedding,” thereby reducing the demand at the time the Garrison needs it the most.

9. Use laptop computers (preferably on battery power when possible). They consume 90 percent less energy than standard computers.

10. If possible, do not make photocopies or print docu-ments, and conduct all business electronically. Use e-mail instead of sending memorandums and faxing documents.

11. Limit the use of your vehicle. If vehicles will be used, implement carpooling and plan your trips accordingly. Use the public mass transportation system when available.

Post-Combat Stress SupportA support group to assist those experiencing symptoms of post-combat stress is offered from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesdays at Army Community Service.

Zama community flips for BOSS Talent ShowBy dustin PerryTorii Editor

Photos by Dustin PerryFrancisco Acfalle, 12, does a handstand as part of a dance routine he performed Friday at the Community Activity Center during the second annual BOSS Talent Show.

For the second year in a row, community members here were asked the question: “So you think you’ve got talent?” And on Friday night in front of a sold-out crowd, more than a dozen eager performers responded overwhelmingly in the affirmative.

The indoor stage at Camp Zama’s Com-munity Activity Center belonged to the eclectic gathering of competitors in a talent show organized by the Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers program here. The event continued its original intent of being an av-enue of expression for local talent of all ages and genres, the BOSS president said.

“I didn’t want it to be just singing and dancing,” Sgt. Valery Valtrain said last year in regard to the show’s inception. “I want whatever – gymnastics, jugglers – I want everyone to come out and see what they have to offer.”

The promotional push for Friday’s talent show was massive in comparison to last year’s, said Valtrain, a move to which she attributes both the sold-out attendance and the increased number of participants. The show was also moved inside – a change from its being hosted on the CAC’s outdoor pavilion. All these factors led to an event Valtrain said is “building momentum” and “can only get better and better.”

“I was really impressed,” Valtrain said of this year’s show. “I think just being able to express yourself and do something different is always good. You feel free expressing something that you would normally keep inside.”

The competition was divided among age groups, with the youngest performers taking the stage first. The returning dance duo of Brittany Street and Maria Cabral – this time with the new, sequel-esque moniker “Black Magic 2” – put on a lively choreographed performance that started the show on a high note and got the crowd sufficiently warmed up.

Other competitors in the 5-to-12-year-old division included a brother-sister team working together as hype man and dancer, respectively, to the tune of rapper Flo Rida’s “Low”; a Hawaiian hula-dance troupe;

and the lightning-quick hip-hop moves of Francisco Acfalle, who then invited Maria on stage for an impromptu dance-off.

Following a brief intermission, the performers in the 18-and-older division were next. Valtrain, performing in a non-competitive capacity, opened the second half with an impassioned song/poem recitation and a demonstration of her own dance skills.

Next was Aysha Pereira, 19, who wowed the audience with a cover of the Katy Perry ballad “Thinking of You” on acoustic gui-tar. The young performer, who said she’s only been practicing the instrument for a short while, signed up to compete the day before the talent show – her first ever – was held.

“At first I got kind of nervous, but the type of person I am, I used it to my advan-tage,” said Pereira. “I was thinking, ‘These people don’t really know me, so if I mess up it’ll be OK.’”

Pereira’s presence on stage was assured and commanding as she strummed and sang her way through the up-tempo song. She performs often for friends and family members “just trying to entertain them,” and clearly had the same effect on the audience. They voted her as the first-place winner in her age division.

“I was just most confident playing that song; it was just something I was most comfortable with and knew very well, so I decided to go with it,” she said.

The show was rounded out a number of impressive acts to include a poem recitation; a song performed on keyboard accompani-ment by Capt. Lauren Parker, assigned to Medical Department Activity – Japan; and the storytelling stylings of Staff Sgt. How-ard Thompson, assigned to the U.S. Army Garrison – Japan Chaplain’s Office.

Pereira lauded the variety of acts and performers at the talent show, saying she was glad to have been a part of the experi-ence.

“It was good hearing the stories and po-ems, watching the dancers and other people show their talents,” she said. “I think the talent show is a very good way for people to display their talents that other people in the community might not know they have.”

Access to care at BG Sams U.S. Army Health Clinic is available 24/7. The clinic is not open 24/7 but our triage line is available 24/7. When calling the clinic at 263-4127, our staff will notify a provider who will call you back. The provider will advise you if you can wait until the clinic opens, or if you need to seek medical care elsewhere.

Host-nation hospitals do not operate in the same manner as in the U.S. Local hospitals do not have to see you when you present at their ER. That is why we want you to call us first. If our provider thinks this is a medical emergency, that provider will engage our EMS staff including a translator. Please carry an emergency wallet card with information on who to call for medi-cal assistance. These cards are available at the clinic and at various community events such as CIE and Medical Morning.

Recently we have noticed an increase of calls to the “911” number. This is the emer-gency number which activates the MPs, our ambulance, EMTs and translators. If you have a life-threatening medical emergency, call “911” on post or “119” off post. If you are feeling sick or have an injury that does not meet the criteria for life, limb or eyesight, call the clinic at 263-4127 and push option 1 for triage nurse or 24/7 medical advice. Our provider on call will advise you on what options are available.

Don’t let swimmer’s ear keep you out of the wateraaP staff ReportAmerican Academy of Pediatrics

Swimming is a great way for children to stay active, especially during the sum-mer months. However, the combination of heat, humidity and water can lead to an ear condition called acute otitis externa, more commonly known as swimmer’s ear.

The infection is often caused by bacte-ria being carried into the outer ear canal. Symptoms of swimmer’s ear include red-ness, swelling, itching, drainage of pus and pain.

What follows are some tips from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to prevent and treat swimmer’s ear:

• Use a bathing cap, ear plugs or custom-fitted swim molds when swimming to keep water out of ears.

• Dry your ears thoroughly after swim-ming or showering.

• Tilt your head and hold each ear fac-ing down to allow water to escape the ear canal.

• Pull your earlobe in different directions while the ear is faced down to help water drain out.

• If water is still in the ears, consider using a hair dryer to move air within the ear canal. Be sure the hair dryer is on the lowest heat and speed setting, and hold it several inches from the ear.

• Don’t put objects, including cotton-tip swabs, pencils, paperclips or fingers, in the ear canal.

• Don’t try to remove ear wax. It helps protect your ear canal from infection.

• If you think the ear canal is blocked by ear wax, consult your pediatrician rather than trying to remove it yourself.

• Consult your pediatrician about using commercial alcohol-based ear drops.

• Drops should not be used by people with ear tubes, damaged ear drums, outer ear infection or ear drainage (pus or liquid coming from the ear).

File photoSwimmers of all ages need to take precautions to avoid a condition called acute otitis externa, more commonly known as swimmer’s ear. The infection is caused by bacteria being carried into the outer ear canal and can lead to swelling and pain.
