Red Cloud leadership meets with Korean business leaders
By Jim Cunningham
USAG-RC Public Affairs
DONGDUCHEON — Col. Larry ‘Pepper’
Jackson and Area I leaders met with members
of the Korean Business Leaders Forum Jan.
7 in the Mustang Club in Bosandong. The
visit had three main purposes and several
goals. The primary purpose is to further
goals of being good neighbors while the U.S.
Army is living and working in the Republic
of Korea. The Red Cloud and Casey
missions include community service outside
the installations and include fostering a
positive social engagement between the U.S.
and Korean communities.
“We did some great things in 2008,”
Jackson said in his opening address. “I look
forward to our working relationship and
solving problems in 2009.”
Among the goals of the meetings
are combating prostitution and human
trafficking, promoting good business
practices and reaching mutual understanding
and compliance with policies involving the
Armed Forces Disciplinary Control Board.
“We have these meetings with the
Dongducheon businessmen quarterly,”
said Ray Myers, USAG-RC Directorate of
Emergency Services director. “We come
together to discuss issues concerning the
entertainment district or other businesses
outside our installations.
Army leadership brought with them
new large poster boards urging everyone to

combat prostitution and human trafficking
by being aware, identifying those involved
and reporting them to the authorities.
“The business leaders do a great job,”
Myers said. “We put statistics up and discuss
certain statistics because if we did not, we
could not illustrate our objectives. We are
basically here to reinforce our goals which
are: combating prostitution and human
trafficking, incidentally, they have been
doing a great job of it, promoting good
business practices, which include not serving
alcohol to minors, good order and discipline
in the clubs, and lastly, good safety and
health practices. All in all, we have a good
relationship with these businessmen.”
Part of the meeting explained the
purpose of the AFDCB and how it works.
The AFDCB reviews matters, which may
adversely affect the health, safety, welfare,
morale, or discipline of military personnel.
The board will invoke off-limits restrictions
when there is substantive evidence indicating
some establishment or area frequented
by military personnel presents conditions
adversely affecting the health, safety, morals,
welfare, morale, or discipline of Soldiers or
military personnel.
The AFDCB will take action on the
following:
• Crime and misconduct (disorders and
lack of discipline)
• Prostitution and Human Trafficking
• Sexually transmitted disease
• Liquor violations

USAG-Casey main gate. The posters were given to the club owners to display in their clubs to
remind patrons to report any significant indicators of prostitution and human trafficking taking
place. — U.S. Army photo by Jim Cunningham
• Racial and other discriminatory
practices in clubs
• Alcohol and drug abuse such as use,
possession, or distribution of narcotics,
marijuana, and dangerous drugs
• Drug abuse paraphernalia
• Criminal or illegal activities involving
cults or hate groups
• Illicit gambling
• Terrorist activity
• Impact of safety as related to disciplinary
actions
• Unfair commercial or consumer
practices
• Unsanitary and other adverse conditions
in establishments frequented by Armed
Forces personnel
• Overcrowding or lack of control over
building occupancy
• Other undesirable conditions that my
adversely affect members of the military or
their families
The purpose of good business practice
discussion allows U.S. Army leadership to
communicate reasonable business practice
standards to Korean business leaders with
hopes of future success, Myers explained.
Good business practices also serve
to enhance the safety and well being of
Status of Forces Agreement members,
combat prostitution and human trafficking,
and reduce Soldier infractions in the
entertainment district. These discussions do
not bind Korean establishments; however,
infractions on issues discussed may result in
an establishment being placed off limits to
U.S. personnel.
Recent concerns pointed out during the
meeting were fights and underage drinking,
and reports of suspected prostitution,
and incidents involving third-country
nationals.
“We have a prostitution and human
trafficking hotline,” Myers said. “It is a single
USAG-RC • PAGE 5
http://imcom.korea.army.mil
number for the peninsula so anyone can
call if they see an indicator of prostitution
or human trafficking. It does not mean
anything is happening, it only means
someone saw an indicator and made a call
to the hotline. We had five hotline calls. I
think this is a sign the system is working. It
is hard to trend or analyze this information.
We do not use the calls to trend or analyze
what is going on in the village.”
Until hotline calls are investigated,
officials do not know if crimes are being
committed, Myers explained. There were
22 assaults reported and seven counts of
underage drinking this quarter in a military
police report.
“We have the Civil Military Operations,”
Myers said. “We have the military police
town patrol. These folks are out here every
single night of the year. We have unit
courtesy patrols who also are out in the
village every night of the year.”
Observations made by these patrols and
statistics taken from the military police
blotter are used to trend what is happening
outside the post, Myers continued.
“Statistics do not always indicate what
is happening in the clubs,” Myers said. “A
good portion of the incidents reported could
have happened outside the clubs, so it is not
an issue with the clubs and the club owners
cannot control it.”
“I think things are going great,” Myers
said. “From the interaction I have seen, I
think our relationship and our interaction
is getting better every quarter.”
In most every matter brought before
the board, the forum has been able to solve
situations without putting any of the clubs
on off limits status, Jackson said in his
closing remarks.
“Based on those statistics I know we have
a very good working relationship and are
successful in our endeavors,” Jackson said.

Warriors celebrate MLK Day on Casey
Inspiring speeches, cool jazz, and images from the Martin Luther King Jr. years bring memories of heartbreak,
strife, struggle and greatness
By Jim Cunningham
USAG-RC Public Affairs
CASEY GARRISON — Soldiers,
Civilians and Family members gathered
Jan. 9 in the USAG-Casey Warrior’s Club
to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day
and heard a rousing rendition of his “I Have
A Dream” speech.
The speech was delivered by Nate Green,
USAG-Casey Community Activity Center
director.
Spectators were treated to a lot more than
the speech; however, when Gloria Prince,
Alcohol and Drug Control Office education
specialist, delivered a poem, “Ain’t I A
Woman,” by American slave, abolitionist,
and women’s rights activist Sojourner Truth
(self-given name of Isabella Baumfree, 1797-
1883). Keynote speaker, Chaplain (Capt.)
Tony Hampton, Chaplain 4-7 Cavalry,
continued, in the same spirit as King, in
delivering his message.
“I hasten to say how humble and honored
I feel to have been asked to speak before you
on such an auspicious day as this,” Hampton
said. “It would be against everything this
nation stands for if we let what is transpiring
in our nation cause the dream of Martin
Luther King Jr. to die. Because of Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. we have been able to carve
through the stratosphere of human kind’s
justice, peace and love and outdistanced
hatred, injustice and racial inequality.”
The only thing everyone seems to
remember about Dr. King is he was a

dreamer, Hampton went on to say.
“Martin Luther King Jr., at the time of
his death, was at a low point of popularity,”
Hampton said. “Few universities wanted
to publish him or wanted to hear from
him during commencement exercises. No
American publisher wanted to publish a
book written by him. He was even being
questioned by his own people about the
relevance of his nonviolent approach. He was
fighting with members of his organizations
about his war in Vietnam speech.”
The notion Dr. King was widely praised
is one of nostalgia and amnesia, Hampton
continued. It was Dr. King who said, “If a
man will not stand for something, he will
fall for anything.”
“Doctor King urged America to rid
itself of every aspect of segregation,”
Hampton said. “He urged American leaders
to stop using the words in the halls that
ring with the sound of nullification and
interposition.”
King urged leaders to stand noble and for
democracy against all enemies foreign and
domestic, Hampton explained.
“As we celebrate this holiday, it is evident
the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
continues,” he said. “Rosa Parks sat so Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. could march. Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. marched so Barack
Obama could run. Barack Obama ran and
won so our children and grandchildren can
live out their dreams.”
A southern style lunch was served to

customer can receive immediate feedback to
questions they may have of military service
providers,” Abney said. “Service providers
are the regular services provided to military
personnel, civilian personnel, and their
families receive in the community.”
There will be no changes in the way ICE
is managed, but feedback will be given to
customers within three working days.
“We want to make sure customers
questions, complaints, or comments are
being answered in a reasonable amount of
time so providers can take action,” Abney
said. “This system also offers providers an
opportunity to improve and expedite their
current programs.”
This ICE system has always been a
tool for quick response to questions from
customers and a way for providers to take
notice of needed improvements to customer
service.
Because the leadership sees a need to
tune-up ICE, so it may help keep support
for the Army Family Covenant and provide
dialogue between customers and providers,
Abney is here to keep the system running
smoothly and efficiently.
“If someone is new in the community
and does not know where to get answers to
questions, this is a way to find those answers,”
Abney said. “Anyone in the community can
use ICE. This is an opportunity to hear their
voices and to address things service providers
may not see.”

If service providers find, by reviewing
ICE comments, their service needs a change,
they can make those changes earlier and
keep abreast of changes their customers
need, Abney explained.
“The ICE program will have more
visibility now with the positioning of this
new customer service officer here in Area
I,” said Kent Garcia, Plans, Analysis, and
Integration Office management analyst.
“There will be more focus on customer
issues and they will be able to respond to
their needs much more quickly.”
ICE helps to identify trends in customer
service and is a good tool for both customers
and service providers, Abney said.“There are
two parts to ICE,” Abney said.
“The computer based ICE where
customers can go online and make their
comments, and a hard copy ICE program.
In the community there will be places where
we call ICE boxes.
These are kiosks where a customer can
stop by and fill out a paper ICE form and
drop it in the box. Part of my responsibility
will be to collect those forms and put them
into the ICE electronic system.”
Currently, there are 22 ICE comment
boxes around the community. If there is not
a comment box where there needs to be one,
part of Abney’s job is to assess where ICE
boxes should be placed. The future will see
computer ICE kiosks in the community,
Abney said.

Donducheon English Camp students visit Casey

By Jim Cunningham
USAG-RC Public Affairs
CASEY GARRISON — Students,
teachers and Donducheon Middle School
officials came to Casey Jan. 9 for a day of
study and play to wrap up their “Dream
English Camp.”
More than 40 students, nine teachers and
four school officials gathered in the Casey
United Services Organization building
to begin the day. They continued with
English language tutoring from 15 Soldiers
of 1-72nd Armor and 15 Soldiers of 2-9
Infantry in the Casey Digital Conference
Center.
“I overheard my Sgt. 1st Class talking
about volunteering to teach the middle
school children from Dongducheon
so I volunteered,” said Pvt. Alexander
Burbank.
“I previously volunteered to teach
elementary students on Saturdays, so I
figured this was another good opportunity
to volunteer.”
The children already speak very good
English, Burbank said, so I taught them
conversational English to improve their
vocabulary.
Teachers found the children could read
the materials offered in the class and spent
the time in class getting to know them.
Classroom study lasted for 90 minutes.
After class, they toured the Camp Hovey
Community Activity Center and Library,
and USAG-Casey Carey Fitness Center and
Commercial Bank.
“Our students study English in school,
but they have no time for practical
use in conversation,” said Mija Kang,
Dongducheon Middle School vice principal.
“Every vacation our school has this English
language camp. The camp last six days and
the teachers teach the students some basic
conversation before coming to USAG-
Casey.”
After five days of practice with English
conversation, the students get practical
experience meeting with and learning
from volunteer Soldiers on Casey, Kang
explained.
“Our students are very shy to speak
English,” Kang said. “After this experience,
they have a lot more confidence in speaking
English with foreigners.”
Korean students begin English studies in
the fourth grade and continue throughout
their school experience, Kang continued.
Activities such as the Dream English Camp
help the students polish their English
skills.
“Our Korean English environment is
different from others,” Kang said. “For
example, in India, and Singapore, their
basic language is English. In Korea, we have
English only in schools, and we do not speak
English at home or in common everyday life.
Our students must take every opportunity
to use their English language skills so they
can become fluent.”
Kang went on to explain even though
Korean students continue English studies
through college; it is still difficult for them
to become fluent because of the lack of
opportunities for daily use in conversation.
Many parents of school age children enroll
them in private English language academies
to give them more opportunities to learn
and polish conversation skills. For the public
school teacher, it is difficult to teach them all
they need in the time allotted for class.
“It is a serious problem,” Kang said.
“Because there isn’t time for using their
English skills, opportunities such as those
today will help the students gain confidence
and polish their skills, and this should
happen more often.”
USAG-Casey hosts the one-day English
language camps twice every year, said Pae,
Tong Su, USAG-Casey community relations
officer.
“The Dongducheon City public school
system sponsors a six day English language
camp,” Pae said. “They began five days ago
and today’s visit is the final day dedicated to
actual face-to-face experience with Soldiers
to gain confidence and polish their speaking
skills.”
All funding is provided by the city of
Dongducheon and USAG-Casey hosts
the students as part of the Good Neighbor
Program, Pae explained.
“The USO coordinated the day for the
students and Soldiers,” Pae said.
The children wound up the day in Casey
Lanes and bowling for two hours before
going home. When they arrived at the center
they found something special.
“I learned the students were coming to
Casey Lanes about three days ago,” said
Gerald Keener, Casey Lanes manager.
“I put together all my leftover Happy
New Year hats and gave them to the students
to wear while they are bowling.”

Stanley Soldiers deliver school supplies, goodies to Seoul orphans

By Jack Loudermilk
USAG-RC Public Affairs
SEOUL — A small group of Soldiers
from Camp Stanley’s 304th Signal Battalion,
along with the camp’s commissary store
manager, arrived at Myung-Jin Orphanage
in Kang-Dong-Gu Jan. 7 with a truck load
of school supplies and other ‘goodies’ for
approximately 100 children.
Capt. Suk Kim, chaplain for the 304th,
said, “We have been building a relationship
with Myung-Jin Orphanage since 2004 but,
since 2007, we have become more actively
involved in their affairs; with assistance
from the Camp Stanley community: Army
Substance Abuse Prevention office; the
commissary and the Pear Blossom .”
Kim said the 304th routinely provides
the children with school supplies, clothing,
candy and English lessons. “Today,” he said,
“we are delivering approximately $1500 or
more in goods.” Support for the orphanage
is the battalion commander’s program, says
Kim, but it is operated by the chapel. He
estimates approximately 50 Soldiers are
actively involved in the program but – two
to three times a year – as many as 120
orphans and their teachers are invited to
Stanley for bowling, soccer or barbecues,
and can involve up to 130 community
volunteers and Soldiers.
“This whole thing is to help relations
between Korea and the United States
government,” Kim said. “We do this from
our hearts; with love and respect toward
the children. This way we can show them
(children and teachers) the reason we are in
Korea.” Commander of the 304th, Lt. Col.
Alfred Francis, in addition to wishing the
children a “Happy New Year,” told them,
“Coming here is really a happy thing for us.
We are going to have a Spring Festival for
you in April. We hope you will come visit
us and have some fun.”
Afterwards, Francis and his group passed
out bags of goodies to the children present.
Less than half of the 100 children living in
the orphanage were present to receive gifts.
The majority were away visiting relatives for
the holiday season.
Jessica Crowl, Camp Stanley Commissary
manager, explained some of the children
have distant relatives and occasionally get to
spend time away from the orphanage.
“We have been supporting requests to
provide goods to the orphanage every since
I have been working here,” Crowl said.
“Anytime they bring me a memorandum
requesting support, we provide donations
… cookies, candy, drinks, juice, fruit, gift
certificates, whatever our vendors are willing
to donate and depending on the request.”
Crowl said she tries to visit the orphanage
as much as possible when invited by the
304th. “I enjoy being around the children
but, she said, “today was very sad. One of
the little boys was so gloomy and I asked
him why. He said his friends (from the
orphanage) were away visiting relatives. He Jessica Crowl (right), Camp Stanley Commissary store manager, helps unload gift bags at

K-16 Air Base gets new indoor pool
By David McNally
USAG-Yongsan Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON — K-16
community members found a new indoor
swimming pool ready to dive into Jan. 7.
A $750,000 project to improve quality
of life at this air base south of Seoul is now
complete, officials said.
“We’ve been trying to get this for the
K-16 community for some time,” said Paul
Robinson, U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan
Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation
director. “This is a very nice addition to our
facilities.”
Robinson said residents will enjoy
a five-lane, 20-meter, heated indoor
swimming pool with a depth of 9.5 feet
in the deep end.
“Both the air and water are heated,”
Robinson said. “For the summer, the
roof will retract.”
Robinson said the is a project funded by
FMWR. “This is bought and paid for with
profits from MWR facilities,” he said. “This
is the community reinvesting in itself.”
K-16 Air Base is home to more
than 1,000 U.S. Servicemembers and
many Family Members. The base is an
enduring installation under the Yongsan
Relocation Plan.
The installation is one of nine
installations that fall under the management
of U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan. USAG-
Yongsan officials are working hard to open
a commissary on the base.

Commentary: Why I decided to become a U.S. citizen
By Rocio Crumley
USAG-Yongsan Community
YONGSAN GARRISON — I originally
came to the United States to get my master’s
degree, but stayed to live and work in my
field of International Affairs in Washington,
D.C. from 1999—2007. I met and married
my husband in 2006. I have been an Army
wife for almost three years now.
In July of 2007, I left my job to
join my husband serving with the 2nd
Infantry Division in Dongducheon.
After almost nine years of living and
working in the U.S., I decided to become
a U.S. citizen through the United States
Citizenship and Immigration Services’
naturalization process.
Becoming a U.S. citizen carries important
duties and responsibilities. Before you make
the decision to pursue U.S. citizenship,
you need to be aware of what you stand
to lose, and what you stand to gain. You
must be sure you are ready to fulfill all your
obligations as a good citizen.
While being overseas with the U.S.
Army, I have had the opportunity to meet
many international spouses married to U.S.
citizens. Many of them do not apply for U.S.
citizenship out of concern they will not be
able to own or inherit land in their home
country. Some of these spouses cannot speak
English very well and are afraid they won’t be
able to pass the citizenship exam. Others do
not apply due to concerns that they will lose

Hall said that community members

Robinson also said K-16 residents can
expect to see a new multipurpose sports
field in 2009.
“We’re investing about $3.2 million into
a multipurpose field for K-16,” he said.
“It’ll really be first class.”
Construction should begin this
spring and last for six to eight months.
The new field will feature artificial
turf, lights, dugouts, new fencing,
scoreboard and a four-lane running
track around the perimeter.

of life for the USAG-Yongsan community,”

Although all these concerns can be valid,

Yongsan community commemorates MLK legacy

By Spc. Jason C. Adolphson
USAG-Yongsan Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON — The Yongsan community
celebrated the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Jan. 7 at
the Multipurpose Training Facility. What would have been
eight days from King’s 80th birthday served as a reminder
of America’s past and the fortitude that secured its future.
With community participation, 1st Signal Brigade
hosted the event. Students from the Seoul American High
School Chorus sang the Korean and American National
Anthems and 1st Sgt. Willie Grandison, Yongsan
Replacement Center, reenacted King writing the “Letter
from Birmingham Jail,” a manifesto from the civil rights
movement. In the skit, Grandison was sitting on a bed
in a cell reading King’s work aloud, which was originally
written on toilette paper.
Sgt. Jesse Thomas, 1st Signal Brigade, delivered excerpts
from the “I Have a Dream” speech. “I watched the tape of
Dr. King’s speech several times before I actually gave it and I
just focused on putting the power in the meaning of what he
was saying,” Thomas said. “The importance is brotherhood
... the importance is treating people like they're human and
that's what Dr King's speech was about.”
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is on the third Monday
of January; however, his actual birthday was Jan 15. The
campaign for a federal holiday in King’s honor began
soon after his assassination. After years of struggle, his
wife, Coretta Scott King, chairperson of the Martin
Luther King Jr. Federal Holiday Commission, presented
six million signatures to congress in the 80s; termed by
a 2006 article in The Nation as “the largest petition in
favor of an issue in U.S. history.”
Americans observed the holiday for the first time in
1986, but it was not fully recognized by all 50 states
until 2000.
Guest Speaker Lt. Col. Charles Mills, Battle
Coordination Detachment, Osan Air Base, said most
of the people in the room were not alive in the time
frame of wide-spread segregation and lynchings, which
were recorded up until 1968, but King provided a “great
tone and setting for today.”
Mills urged the crowd to follow King’s humanitarian
example by reaching out to help others, even in times of
crisis. “We celebrate a day on, a day off - Not a day off,” he
said. “I pass to each and every one of you as we live through
today - The question of a Good Samaritan.”
Some of King’s most notable actions as chief
spokesman during the nonviolent civil rights movement
were the historic Montgomery bus boycott that led to
the Supreme Court striking down racial segregation
on public transportation a year later; and the March
on Washington that drew hundreds of thousands to
the steps of the Lincoln Memorial where he delivered
his address, “I Have a Dream.” His determination
for freedom led to arrests, his home being bombed,
subjection to abuse and death.
“These are things we must remember, otherwise,
it’s just like we are seeing in Israel and Afghanistan
and Iraq ... history repeats itself,” said 1st Signal
Brigade Commander Col. Welton Chase Jr. in closing
comments at the celebration.
The event ended with a birthday cake cutting.

The leader who ‘sets goals, sticks with it and never quits’
By Spc. Jason C. Adolphson
USAG-Yongsan Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON — Command
Sgt. Maj. (Ret.) Alfred Braswell is a veteran
of World War II, Korean War and Vietnam
War. He was wounded in combat in Korea
and three times in Vietnam. He dedicated
30 years of his life to the military and
proceeded to a running 27 years as a Junior
Reserve Officer Training Corps instructor
at Seoul American High School.
“All of the disruptions or struggles along
the way worked out for me and I wouldn’t
change anything if I had it to do over,”
Braswell said.
Braswell has lived the life of a motto he
now shares with his cadets in hopes they
will become the Army’s next strong young
leaders. “Don’t be a quitter, set your goals
and stay with it.”
Braswell’s lifelong journey with the
military started during World War II in
1945. He was an 18-year-old Navy draftee
trying to complete the final semester for his
senior year of high school. The war ended
and he was able to return to his Texarkana,
Texas home to finish high school. Braswell
was drafted again in 1950, but this time
into the Army.

Braswell a shrapnel wound to his leg.

p r i va t e . “ My p ro u d e s t
moment in the military was
when I was promoted to
command sergeant major
because that was my goal. I
achieved it because I stuck
with it,” he said.
After 30 years of service,
once it was time for Braswell
to retire, he said it wasn’t
time for him to quit. “Right
around that time there were
advertisements in the Stars
and Stripes and on TV for
personnel who wanted to be
an instructor for JROTC. “I
had about 15 years under
my belt off and on as a drill
sergeant and figured I’d be
able to help guide young
Command Sgt. Maj. (Ret.) Alfred Braswell leaders.”
Braswell was selected to instruct the
program on Yongsan in 1981, when the
program was first activated in the Republic
of Korea.
Throughout Braswell’s lifetime of
accomplishment that include two Combat
Infantryman Badges, a Legion of Merit,
three Bronze Stars – one for valor, four
Purple Hearts, two Meritorious Service
Medals and four Army Commendation
Medals. He said he never expected to
receive any type of recognition.
Braswell was recently recognized as the
Yongsan Retiree Council’s first “Retiree Icon.”
In November, as part of his recognition, he
received the Noncommissioned Officer
Award, World War II Medallion.
“The ceremony was in the auditorium
in the school and there was a presentation
of everything I had done throughout my
time in the military and JROTC and
there were lots of VIPs,” he said. “I didn’t
believe it could ever happen to me but
it’s a proud moment when someone is
willing to recognize you. Things like
that just never cross my mind when I’m
doing my job.”
The man who never quits said he is
set to retire.
“My projected retirement date is 31
December 2009. Now that’s projected,
I might decide to stay another year,” he
said.
Braswell said if he does retire his plan
is to return to Texas where he will “go sit
under the shade tree,” he said, “I’m gonna
get out and stand in Reveille every morning
and Retreat in the afternoon.”

the right to vote, the ability to petition for
immediate relatives to join you in the U.S.
without being subject to visa limits, and the
ability to travel to many nations without
needing a tourist visa in advance of travel.
In addition to this, citizens are eligible for
certain state and federal jobs, scholarships,
and grants. Although resident aliens can
work in the United States, they cannot work
for the federal government and many state
and municipal governments.
I was personally motivated to seek
citizenship for two reasons. First, I
wanted the right to vote. Although I am
originally from Colombia, one of the
oldest democracies in Latin America, after
living and working in the USA for almost
nine years I wanted to become part of the
American democratic dream. The right to
vote is the most important privilege that
comes with U.S. citizenship. It gives you
the right to participate in the government
and gives you a voice regarding the laws
that are passed. I think it was especially
important to exercise the right to vote in
2008, given its historic importance for last
year’s presidential election.
The second reason I applied for citizenship
was to become eligible to apply for certain
federal jobs. As an Army wife, I will have to
face the challenges of multiple permanent
changes of station as my husband’s career
progresses. Applying for federal jobs within
the Army will enable me to continue my
professional career despite these moves.
Becoming a U.S. Citizen doesn’t
necessarily mean I have to give up my
Colombian citizenship. Colombia and the
United States both allow dual citizenship. It
is important to be aware that this privilege
entitles you to have and exercise rights of
national citizenship in two countries; realize
though that you also can be subject to the
responsibilities of both countries as well.
For me, becoming a U.S citizen has been
an extraordinary privilege. Although I will
always be Colombian, I feel proud to have
become part of the American People - a
nation of many peoples, many races and
many religions, united by our values and
the Constitution of the United States. I am
proud to be a Colombian-American!

USFK Commander tours Yongsan quarters

By David McNally
USAG-Yongsan Public Affairs
The senior military commander in Ko-
rea took time to visit Army housing Jan. 13
at Hannam Village and Yongsan Garrison.
U.S. Forces Korea Commander Gen.
Walter Sharp and his wife Joanne toured a
Hannam Village model apartment display-
ing the end-state of a multimillion dollar
renovation project funded by the Korea
National Housing Corporation. The reno-
vation is set to begin shortly.
Hannam Village is a government-leased
housing area near Yongsan Garrison. The
18-month project will provide U.S. Ser-
vicemembers and their Family Members
with 264 sets of premium apartments.
The Sharps also visited the Hannam
Village Commissary and new Community
Center, as well as a set of company-grade
officer quarters. Later, the group toured
the Headquarters and Headquarters De-
tachment, 524th Military Intelligence Bat-
talion barracks on Yongsan’s South Post.
Finally, the group visited an unaccompa-
nied colonel's quarters.
Yongsan Garrison was first used by U.S.
Forces in 1948. Many of the structures
on post are from the Japanese occupation
of 1910-1945. The installation is closing
at some point in the future as part of the
Yongsan Relocation Plan. As a result, there
are no major construction projects on the
installation.
Installation Management Command-
Korea Region Commander Brig. Gen. John
Uberti told the general of the challenges
facing U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan.
“The Garrison team is constantly iden-
tifying critical points, such as the water
system, electrical grid and infrastructure
and maintaining a balance of capabilities
and quality of life,” Uberti said.
“As part of the Army Family Covenant,
we are committed to providing Soldiers
and Families a quality of life commensu-
rate with their service.”
Uberti said they are improving facilities
and housing because it's the right thing to
do. “We are always aware of the living and
working conditions of our force,” he said.
Even without major construction fund-
ing, USAG-Yongsan continues to invest in
small-scale renovation projects to improve
quality of life. “We continue to do every-
thing we can to bridge the gap during this
time of transition,” said USAG-Yongsan
Commander Col. Dave Hall. “We are ex-
ecuting transformation on the peninsula,
but we are committed to maintaining our
facilities at all bases until they are returned
to the Republic of Korea.” Editor’s Note:

‘Walk to Remember’ to commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. day

By Ken Hall
USAG-Humphreys Public Affairs
USAG-humphreys — Monday will
be a federal holiday in recognition of Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. and while some will
use the holiday to sleep in, kick back and
recharge their batteries – many will brave
the freezing temperatures to participate in
a “Walk to Remember” here.
“It’s a day on, not a day off,” said event
lead organizer Sgt. 1st Class Mark Harris,
2nd Combat Aviation Brigade Equal
Opportunity Noncommissioned Officer. “It’s
a day to remember and I think it’s symbolic
to do a walk on the actual holiday that was
designated to commemorate and to inspire
people to remember Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr., who was instrumental during the
civil rights movement”
Harris said participation in
the event is voluntary.
“People can come out, and
maybe they’ll be reminded that
while they’re out there in the
cold that it’s not just a walk,
but a day to remember,” said
Harris. “It’s my intention to
get everyone involved and when
they look back at the four-day
weekend and they’re asked what they did
during their time off, they can say they were
there at eight o’clock in the morning for a
walk to remember.”
Harris said that while individuals
should be involved in and promote equal
opportunity for everyone in
the Army community it makes
for trouble-free occupation of
down-time and support for this
event is not limited to individual
community members.
“We have great support
for this event from 2nd CAB,
the USO, USA Credit Union,
AAFES and Soldiers across
U S AG - Hu m p h re y s ,” s a i d
Harris. “My biggest support is from my
family – coming out and supporting me and
we all stand together in the community to
make events like this one work.”
The Independence Park event will
begin at 8:20 a.m. with Chaplain (Maj)
Christopher Edwards, 2nd CAB as featured
guest speaker. The Walk to Remember
will begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at
Freedom Field. All Soldiers, Civilians,
Family members and friends are invited to
attend and the event is free.
“The experience I want everyone to
remember is that because someone walked
– not just once, not just twice … because
someone chose to stand up for equal rights
– now I can walk here today in Korea and it’s
important to know where we came from to
know where we’re going because (like lessons
learned in our behavior) if we forget the poor
choices we’ve made, we’ll lose our way.”

Humphreys Dawgs drop a thriller to Suwon
By Ken Hall
USAG-Humphreys Public Affairs
USAG-HUMPHREYS — A down-the-
stretch battle of the Thompsons – one from
Humphreys, the other from Suwon Air Base
– determined the final score as the Dawgs
dropped a tough defensive battle 76-79 to
the Panthers in the closing minutes at the
Super Gym here Saturday.
Fast-break action dictated the game
tempo as the Dawgs stayed within five
points of Suwon throughout most of the
game. The Dawgs pulled ahead briefly
during the closing minutes of the first
period and again during the early minutes
of the second period when Suwon blew five
successive scoring opportunities; each time
the Panthers failed to score Humphreys
pulled down the rebounds, raced down the
court and completed several lay-ups.
“I think the game could have gone a little
better for us,” said Suwon coach Spc. Ginger
Graham, Charlie Battery, 3rd Battalion 2nd
Air Defense Artillery. “We’ll be reviewing
how Humphreys played to understand
what they did so we can play a better game
next time.”
More than 50 spectators were given an
NCAA tournament-like thrill throughout
the game. Cheers roared often from the
stands and the closing efforts by both teams
did not disappoint the crowd.
The final two minutes of the game
evolved into a nail-biter as the Dawgs were
down by four points to the Panthers but

$12.9 billion Humphreys transformation continues
By Lori Yerdon
USAG-Humphreys Public Affairs
USAG-HUMPHREYS — Several years
ago, the plan to move all U.S. Forces Korea
stationed north of the capital city of Seoul
55 miles south to Pyeongtaek set in motion
vast changes for the future of U.S. Army
Garrison Humphreys.
This small installation – formerly home
to Quonset huts and Soldiers on one-year,
unaccompanied tours – is now well on
its way to being a Family-friendly post
with some of the best amenities an Army
installation can offer.
“The volume of work happening here
is immeasurable,” said David Voelker,
acting chief, USAG-Humphreys Master
Planning Division. “Personnel wise, USAG-
Humphreys is going to grow by 271 percent.
As for funding, the entire program right now
is at $12.9 billion, and we’re going to be
adding 25 million square feet of facilities.”
To put it into perspective, Voelker says
25 million square feet equates to about 600
new facilities.
Thus far in the transformation, several
facilities have already opened and are in
use, including three state-of-the-art physical
fitness centers, a child development center
with a capacity for 303 children and the
Humphreys Lodge extension. The lodge’s
upgrade not only doubled the number of
rooms but also added conference space and
several other practical amenities.
Part of the Humphreys master plan
includes barracks equipped with two
elevators, exercise rooms, laundry rooms
and mud rooms, common kitchens, lounge
areas and storage areas, which are scheduled
to open soon.
There are 48 construction projects
underway within the existing 1,210 acres of
‘Park Place’ at Humphreys
Army announces $1.3 billion housing agreement for Korea
Army News Service
arlington, va — The Department
of the Army has reached agreement on terms
of the largest single military housing project
since World War II. The $1.3 billion project
will provide 2400 units of family housing at
U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys, Republic
of Korea. Humphreys Family Communities
LLC, will construct, own, provide equity,
and issue debt for the project.
The project will be called “Park Place” and
balances American-Style residential design
features in a Korean inspired environment
for three, four, and five bedroom units. Park
Place boasts two distinct communities and
will feature high rise residential towers and
a main town center that blends two story
traditional townhomes with store front retail
space. These communities are designed to be
pedestrian friendly and minimize vehicular
traffic. Each neighborhood will have a large
community center, playgrounds, parks,
athletic fields, underground parking, and
abundant open space.
“This project is critical for the U.S. Armed
Forces to meet its treaty commitments to
AREA III
Humphreys. Simultaneously, construction
has begun on adjacent land acquired
through the Yongsan Relocation and Land
Partnership Plan.
“We have two sets of four Soldier
barracks in the process of being built on
Parcel One and work there has gone very
well,” Voelker added.
Work on Parcel K, adjacent to Parcel
One, is underway as well; when the land is
ready for construction it will be the site of
Family housing, a new high school and an
elementary school.
When the transformation is complete,
Humphreys will have almost tripled in size
to 3,538 acres.
Despite the smooth progress of the
construction to date, building a new post
creates considerable challenges.
“Some challenges so far have been

relocate from Seoul and to provide a high
quality of life for our military and their
Families” said General Walter L. Sharp,
Commander U.S. Forces Korea. “The
structure of the project allows for additional
housing both at Humphreys and elsewhere
in Korea as tours are normalized on the
Peninsula”, he added.
Keith Eastin, Assistant Secretary of the
Army (Installations & Environment) said,
“This unique transaction is a first-of-a-kind
concept and a potential roadmap where
developers build privately owned housing
on host-owned land for rental by American
Soldiers and their Families. Operational
mission requirements have led us to this
revolutionary approach in Army Family
housing development.”
Eastin emphasized, “It is a landmark
accomplishment, especially given the current
budget challenges across the Department of
Defense and the volatility in the private
capital markets.”
Military Families assigned to Korea may
enter into a standard lease with HFC and
rent a home at a monthly rate equivalent to
the Overseas Housing Allowance. Joseph
synchronization of projects – forethought
– not just constructing a building, but
ensuring new buildings tie into the master
plan and take an overall holistic look at
facilities, said Voelker.
“Identifying the fact that facilities in the
original master plan were overlooked has
been a challenge as well as ensuring we have
the right amount of space for everyone,” he
said. “Finding solutions to these issues is fun
and challenging.”
But of all of the challenges encountered
thus far, Voelker says “They are all (issues)
we can over come.”
A priority for Humphreys officials
remains to maximize the use of existing
structures and space during construction
while accommodating the needs of the
garrison and ensuring future facilities mesh
into the master plan.
Calcara, Deputy Assistant Secretary of
the Army (Installations & Housing) said,
“By leveraging permitted real estate uses
under the Status of Forces Agreement with
market demand, we are able to produce
affordable housing for individual rentals at
no capital construction investment by the
Army, as well as provide for the operations,
maintenance, property management, and
long-term recapitalization of the asset over
the project life cycle.”
Humphreys Family Communities,
LLC is comprised of Pinnacle Hunt HFC
LLC, the managing member and will be
comprised of affiliates from American
Management Services, Pinnacle and Hunt
ELP, Ltd.
Pinnacle of Irvine, CA, is the second
largest property manager in the Unites States
with more than 175,000 housing units in
their portfolio, including more than 26,000
units for its military partners and clients.
Hunt of El Paso, TX, is an equity
member of HFC, and with experience in
building more than fifty military housing
projects, will assist in the capital structuring
and construction oversight of the project.

“We have running trails incorporated in
the master plan and at the same time, we
want to ensure there’s cross trails so folks
from Family housing will be able to get
across the golf course to do things that they
need to do with ease,” Voelker added.
A key component in the Humphreys
master plan is the Installation Design Guide,
which provides guidance for standardizing
and improving the visual quality and
efficient operation of the installation.
“Essentially, the Installation Design
Guide is an SOP,” said Voelker.
The Humphreys IDG includes standards
and guidelines for the design issues of site
planning: architectural character, colors
and materials; vehicular and pedestrian
circulation; utilities; and landscape elements
including plant materials, seating, signage
and lighting.
The design guidelines also incorporate
sustainable design, energy efficiency,
quality of design, antiterrorism measures,
maintenance efficiency and safety, historical
and cultural considerations into every facet
of Humphreys’ transformation.
Other objectives of the IDG that will
improve Humphreys during and well
after its transformation include the use of
natural areas, such as putting parking lots
behind instead of in front of new buildings,
and ensuring garbage dumpsters and
central utility plants are meshed into the
construction of new facilities.
Looking at the big picture, Humphreys
officials understand that the quality of the
present and future garrison environment has
a direct effect on the people who will live and
work on the installation. They also remain
committed to improving Humphreys’
infrastructure and look forward to becoming
the new home of U.S. Forces Korea during
the next decade.
Samsung C&T, of Seoul, Korea, is
the design-builder and will also provide
construction completion guarantees for the
project. Samsung has successfully completed
more than 1,700 projects, and in 2007
alone, placed over $5 billion in construction
around the world.
The design team is composed of SAMOO
and Heerim, two of the largest and most
accomplished Korean firms, along with
MVE & Partners, a premier US residential
design firms.
The finance team is led by Merrill
Lynch, supported by Bank of America and
Sumitomo Mitsui Bank. HFC will fully
fund all project development, construction,
property management and asset management
services through the use of private debt and
equity, reinvested interim income and
operating cash flow, and interest earnings
on cash balances. The Army will not
provide any financial contributions, loans,
or occupancy guarantees.
Financial closing is scheduled for June
2009, with construction beginning August
2009. The first units are scheduled to be
available for lease in 2012.

me the best of American servicemen who
serve overseas have a more global mind

The interview was progressed in an
informal atmosphere. There were some
casual questions, such as ‘Why did you
apply for this position?’, ‘How is this
position related with your future?’, ‘Have
you been overseas before?’ and some
difficult questions like ‘What do you think
about the relationship between ROK and
U.S.?’. Most of the students answered very
well and tried to give a good impression to
interviewers.
“I think our students have to realize they

The official Web site of the U.S Army gets facelift in new year
By C. Todd Lopez
Army News Service
Come Jan.16, the official Web site of the
United States Army will sport a new look.
The new site features a graphic redesign,
a new "subdued" color palette, and a
downplaying of page graphic elements so
user focus will be on content and not flashy
graphics. Billed as a "refresh" of the "official
homepage of the United States Army," the
newly designed Army.mil will be more than
just a change to the look and feel of the
site, however.
The new Army.mil also includes software
to ensure more streamlined delivery of video
content, additional servers to host content
closer to the user, expanded image galleries,
an increased emphasis on visual products,
and streamlined navigation menus to help
users find information more quickly.
"We wanted to make it easier for visitors
to find what they wanted on the site," said
Lt. Col. Kevin Arata, director of the Army's
online and social media division. "We also
wanted to focus more on visual content and
new media."
Each print story page on the site will
now feature larger photographs at the top of
the page. Articles with multiple photos will
automatically display "slide shows" to make
it easier for users to see all images associated
with a story.
The Army's official Web site has hosted
video content for several years now, but
Arata said the site was having difficulty
handling the bandwidth associated with
video content. The site redesign will feature
software that makes it easier to stream video
content to the user. The site will also utilize
multiple servers strategically placed around
the world, so bandwidth-intensive content
is located closer to the user.
Due to the new video software, video
content can now also be higher quality. And
users can share the best of those videos with
friends and family via mail-to options and
URLs that allow users to embed video into
their own Web pages.
"The neat thing," Arata said, "is that if
I want to share a video I find on Army.mil
with my dad, I can easily do that now."

This week’s USAG-Daegu job profile: Information Technology Specialist

Ms. Kim, Kyong Suk
USAG-Daegu IMO IT Specialist
How do you help USAG-Daegu to
accomplish its mission?
There are various jobs to accomplish at
the IMO section. For instance I take care of
computers, automation, telecommunication,
network and user accounts. I also do
automation lifecycle management, desktop
computer support, Hardware and software
upgrade, network and TCP/IP support,
Audio / Video Support, Requirement
Document, automation trouble shooting,
e-mail setup. I also deal with taking care
of Common Access Card and providing
user e-mail account which require decent
amount of time yet I am always willing to
help customers as best as I can.
What qualities does your job require?
I am an Information Technology
Specialist. This is mostly related to
automation and telecommunication. In
order to accomplish these duties, I always
need to research and study how to use and
control them properly.
What do you like most about your job?
My job is not as easy. If I take few days
off, I always need to study nonetheless
to catch up new products. From my
experience, I understand how customers
may have difficulties with computers. I
try to help these users so that they can
use computer easily and help them with
problems. I am proud and pleased with
myself when the costumers feel the same as
by helping them.
What is the one thing that most people
don’t know about your job?
I want customers to understand that
IMO work usually takes times for approval
which may cause difficulties sometimes.
Despite people always deal with computer
on daily basis, cause problems by not using it
properly. Computer is a machine. Machine
is operated by simple order but many people
do not follow the rules which cause a bigger
problem in a long run. I occasionally see
these problems when I go out for trouble
hooting. I just want you to be patient and
love computers a little bit more.
