Yeonjudae: Summit of Gwanaksan
Gwanaksan (Mountain) is located south of Seoul, and is renowned for its magnificent scenery. The very summit of the moun-
tain has earned its historic name, Yeonjudae, since the fall of the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392). According to lore, many Goryeo
loyalists fled deep into the mountain and lamented their lost capital city, Songdo (now Gaeseong province in North Korea)
after the Joseon Dynasty conquered Goryeo in 1392. Yeonjuam is a Buddhist temple located at the summit of the mountain
which was founded by Uisangdaesa, a famous Buddhist monk from the Silla Dynasty. Originally called Gwanaksa Temple, it
was later recognized as a national temple by King Taejo during the Joseon Dynasty. —HDR photo by Russell Wicke

CAMP RED CLOUD – Like millions
of English obsessed students in South
Korea, this 6th grader from Geumo
Elementary School in Uijeongbu just
wanted an opportunity to practice his
newfound second language with native
speakers. Last week he realized his
dream at the first ever English Camp
hosted by the U.S. Army here.
“I always wanted to practice my
English, but there’s no place to
practice,” Jeon Jae-hyeok said during
the second day. “My friends and I are
interested in meeting western people
to talk.”
Jeon was one of the 31 6th grade
students representing each of
Uijeongbu’s elementary schools at
the inaugural Boo! English Camp co-
hosted by the City of Uijeongbu and
U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud May
24-27.
In addition to practicing and
improving their English speaking
skills, the students also participated
in sports, toured the 2nd Infantry
Division Museum, post library and fire
station, spent an entire day at the Paju
English Village and were treated to the
animated movie “Rango” by the Army
and Air Force Exchange Service – all
with the intent to give them insight
into American culture and the life of a
Soldier.
Kil Kwang-chun, USAG Red Cloud
community relations officer and camp
coordinator, was proud of how the
Soldier volunteers bonded with the
students.
“It was good to see the Soldiers
and the students learn each other’s
culture and become friends,” he said.
“The way the Soldiers were so actively
involved with the students ensured
that everyone had fun and learned
something new at the same time.”
The feeling was mutual among
the Soldiers, some of whom noted
how enjoyable it was to work with
the students and possibly make a
difference in their lives.
“It’s amazing working with the
kids,” said 1st Sgt. Trinette Robinson,
Headquarters and Headquarters
Company, USAG Red Cloud, on the
second day of the camp. “They are
all intelligent and talented. Most of
them are 13 years old, but they are all
good with English. I’m glad I had the
opportunity to make an imprint on
their lives. They definitely made an
imprint on mine.”
At the conclusion of the camp,
Richard Davis, USAG Red Cloud
deputy to the garrison commander,
and Roh Man-kyun, City of Uijeongbu
public affairs officer, congratulated
the students during a ceremony at
Mitchell’s Club.
“Through this English Camp our
students were able to experience
everyday English with U.S. and
KATUSA Soldiers,” Roh said in Korean.
“It helped ease their burden of learning
English, which will really help them
further improve their English skills.”
Davis thanked the parents and
teachers for sending the children.
Kil said he hopes to hold the camp
several times a year to give more
students an opportunity to attend. x

Division Soldiers compete for Best Warrior

By Pfc. Choi Jung-hwan
2nd Infantry Division Public Affairs
CAMP RED CLOUD - This year’s
2nd Infantry Division Best Warrior
competition was conducted from
May 17 to 20 at Warrior Base to boost
morale and provide a great learning
opportunity for Soldiers.
Selected Soldiers from the 2nd
Infantry Division competed in several
tasks such as rucksack march, shoot-
house, land navigation, combatives,
Army Physical Fitness Test and rifle
qualification. The Soldiers participating
in the competition represent their
brigades. Three - one NCO, one junior
enlisted, and one KATUSA - with the
highest points advanced to the Eighth
U.S. Army competition, May 23-27.
Second Infantry Division Command
Sergeant Major Michael P. Eyer visited
Warrior Base to encourage the Soldiers.
“It is more than a competition since
it motivates Soldiers to do well during
their daily activities with their units to
achieve higher standards,” said Eyer.
For some Soldiers this was a great
chance to get out of the office.
“Since I work as a supply clerk in
an office, I don’t get to experience real
combat training often. This is a great
opportunity to learn combat skills,”
said Cpl. Park Hyun-jun, a supply clerk
with 3-2nd Aviation Regiment at K-16
Air Base.
“This is not an everyday opportunity,
so I am going to try my best in this
competition and hopefully win in the
end,” he said.
This year’s competition was
coordinated to include the most up-
to-date military skills.
“Many changes were made for
this year’s event according to lessons
learned in Operation Iraqi Freedom
and Operation Enduring Freedom,”
said Eyer, who designed the event.
“The winners will go on to compete
in the Eighth Army competition and
there are no losers since they will go
back to their organizations and be
better Soldiers, help with training
and elevate the level of competencies
within their organizations”
The winners are Staff Sgt. Sean
Swint, B Company, 1st 38th Field
Artillery Regiment, 2ID NCO of
the Year; Pfc. Robert Sanders,

Support Company, 3rd Battalion, 2nd

13 division Soldiers earn prestigious badge

By Sgt. Mark A. Moore II
2nd Infantry Division Public Affairs
CAMP RED CLOUD – Eighteen-
days ago 170 medics from across
Eighth U.S. Army and the Tripler Army
Medical Center in Hawaii stood in a
hard-packed-dirt staging area ready
to begin what might be the most
exhausting 11 days of their lives.
In the May 13 edition
of the Indianhead, a story
detailed what Soldiers in
the medical field would
endure during the EFMB
training and qualification
lanes.
In that story Spc. David M. Sanders,
a medic with Headquarters and
Headquarters Company, 1st Brigade
Special Troops Battalion on Camp
Hovey, said only three percent of
medics currently have the badge. At
the time he seemed unsure of whether
he would have what it takes to earn an
EFMB.
However, Sanders remained
optimistic. He also expressed his
enthusiasm about having the
opportunity to receive the training.
The EFMB lanes continued, and
on May 18 Sanders and the other
remaining candidates began the
second to last day of testing.
The number of Soldiers fighting
to earn a badge had been drastically
reduced.
“Only 40 soldiers are left out here,”
said Sgt. Major Clayetea Stanley, a test
board member and standards bearer
for the EFMB lanes.
Sanders said, “I didn’t expect to
make it this far. I want to get it, but I
don’t expect to get it.”
He went on to complete
three-testing lanes that
day. At that day’s end, lane
scores were handed out
and two Soldiers learned
that they would not be
competing in the final phase of testing.
Only 38 Soldiers remained to start
the foot march on the following day,
Sanders was one of them.
Sanders said he had one final
obstacle to overcome, a 12-mile foot
march that must be finished in less
than four hours.
“I walked as fast as I could and ran
down the hills,” said Sanders. “I made
it with nine minutes left.”
He went on to explain that it was
easy to stay motivated because of the
instructors that ran beside them and
encouraged them to continue.
“It was like rank didn’t exist out
there, everyone just wanted you to
complete the training at that point,”
said Sanders.
It was easy to hear the exhaustion in
his voice as he expressed how it felt to
receive an EFMB.
“I was really happy to get it,” said
Sanders “I was so tired it was easy to
stay calm when they pinned it on.”
After completing the EFMB lanes
Sanders took time to reflect on the past
11 days and found that he had honed
far more than medical skills.
“I learned a lot about
(communications), how to talk on the
radios and how to fill them, also about
(chemical, biological, radiological and
nuclear),” Sanders said. “These are
things we don’t do every day as medics.”
With the closing ceremony
complete Sanders and 27 other medics
proved their mettle, earning the right
to wear an EFMB.
2ID medics who have earned
the right to wear the EFMB are Pfc.

“Today is such a meaningful day that our two na-
tions hold this festival together in this lovely spring
season,” said Hong. “I’m really expecting the special
and meaningful festival and performance today. I
hope this festival will be the best opportunity that
you can share each nation’s culture and enjoy the time
here.”
The celebrating performances were provided by
the EUSA Band and Bupyeong Pungmul Team. EUSA
Band played various songs including some Korean
pop music sung by Korean Augmentation to the U.S.
Army soldiers.
Bupyeong Pungmul Team then took the stage to
showcase other Korean traditional performances,
carrying on the excitement they had during the pre-
performance.
The performance was so exciting that the crowd
even stepped onto the stage and participated in the
performance by dancing together with the Bupyeong
Pungmul Team.
“Garrison Yongsan values relationships with out-
side organizations to help us improve our quality of
life,” said Huber. “Deepening our non-governmental
organization relationships is just one way we are
supporting the Installation Management Command
Campaign Plan.” x

YONGSAN GARRISON - Prepara-
tion is the greatest weapon one can
have against the unknown. With this
in mind, U. S. Army Garrison Yongsan
emergency services, including Mili-
tary Police, Criminal Investigation
Division and the 121st Troop Medical
Clinic, conducted an ‘active shooter’
Force Protection Exercise at Commis-
key’s club May 26.
The exercise, simulating a lone
gunman staging an attack on a club
filled with Servicemembers, was mod-
eled after tragic shootings such as the
Fort Hood and Virginia Tech attacks.
In those scenarios, a lone gunman at-
tacked unsuspecting groups without
warning in a crowded area, causing
several casualties.

By training using a similar scenar-
io, the Yongsan first responders incor-
porated real-time scenarios in a safe
training environment, said Staff Sgt.
Nicholas Cunningham of the 142nd
Military Police Company.
“It gives Soldiers an adrenaline
rush to see how it would actually take
place,” Cunningham said. “Hopefully
not, but it might take place. So this
gives them experience with it.”
The exercise began with a call
placed to the Yongsan Police station,
followed by several people calling in
at once.
The callers screamed, cursed and
begged for help to arrive as the gun-
man shouted in the other room, using
his Air-Soft gun to fire on the wound-
ed and dead on the floor. Within min-
utes, Military Police arrived to find
one of the victims escaping through
parents as part of the Family Advocacy
and New Parent Support Programs.
At the beginning of the ceremony,

tic welcome.

Less than a minute after they ar-
rived, the threat was eliminated and
Military Police began to survey the
area. An ambulance was called in, the
area sealed off and those still ‘alive’
after the attack evacuated to the hos-
pital.
The scene outside Commiskey’s
was just as hectic. The Yongsan Fire
Department and MP K-9 units were
called in to assist, making sure the
attacker didn’t place a bomb in the
building. Across the street, USAG

the attack.

Soldiers and their spouses,” she said.
“This event is even more important
due to the fact that we are all away
from loved ones.”
For expectant parents, this baby
shower provided many kinds of educa-
tional games. Games included activi-
ties such as a race for who will be the
fastest to change a diaper, a baby foods
tasting competition that required ac-
curate guessing, a challenge to see who
can be the first to unscramble words
while listening to a baby cry, and many
more.
Each of the games rewarded par-
ticipants with prizes such as baby toys,
first aid kits, baby hygiene necessi-
ties, and infant clothing. They also
provided participants a chance to win
door prizes including a crib and mat-
tress, a jogging stroller, diaper pails,
eight custom-made diapers, cakes and
a complete emergency safety kit.
Organizers hosted two workshops
titled, “baby makes 3” and “baby on

Busan and Mokpo were selected by
the Republic of Korea Ministry of Ed-
ucation, Science and Technology to be
a part of the English Camp.
The program is designed to intro-
duce Korean students to U.S. Forces
Korea, its personnel, missions and
policies through a series of organized,
interactive and educational activities
conducted on U.S. installations.
Most of the students have not lived
in the United States or another Eng-
lish-speaking country.
Selection was based on their Eng-
lish-speaking ability and willingness
to participate in a home-stay program.
Throughout a week, students took
classes at Seoul American High School
and visited to the Joint Security Area,
Camp Humphreys, the wreckage of
the ROK Navy Ship Cheonan and the
Korean War Memorial Museum.

High School voluntarily escorted the
Korean students.
“A lot of things made me decide to
be involved in this event,” said Danari
White, a SAHS 9th grade student es-
cort. “I learned a lot about Korea.”
On the last day, participants and
student escorts played basketball and
dodge ball. Lunch was catered by the
Army and Air Force Exchange Service
and the Korean students enjoyed their
last meal on post.
“It was too short for me compared
with a week in a school,” said Eom
Hyo-yun of Mokdong High School. “I
was very satisfied with this program
and hope more students have chance
to take this program.”
“It was very nice opportunity, in-
cluding field trips to JSA and the
Cheonan ship. All the staff, including
the Korean augmentees and host fam-
ilies were kind to me,” said Ko Young-
min of Mokpo High School.
“In general, we enjoyed volunteer-
ing and bringing a high school stu-
dent into my house was different and
kind of adventure,” said John Kuyken-

certificates to the Korean participants
and awards to the SAHS student es-
corts.
During the ceremony, Sharp spoke
to the students, calling them the fu-

“I also want to thank you to Korean
high school students who volunteered
and participated in this program,” said
Sharp. “Your openness to experience
another culture is truly remarkable. I
challenge each of you to continue to
contribute to the Republic of Korea
and U.S. Alliance.
“I hope this week is just a start for
you to engage our community and

Koreans tend to U.S. veterans’ cemetery in Korea

By Master Sgt. Gary L. Qualls, Jr.
8th Army Information Operations

YONGSAN GARRISON — Koreans and Ameri-

cans joined together to pay respect to 37 graves be-
longing to American veterans of World War II, the
Korean War and the Vietnam War in a Memorial Day
ceremony at Yanghawgin District Seoul Foreigners’
Cemetery May 27.
The cemetery is a place where the graves of com-
batants, until recent years, have been largely forgot-
ten and obscured by tall grass in unkempt grave sites.
One hundred and twenty-six children of veterans are
also buried at the cemetery.
The Association of Korea-U.S.A. Friendship Al-
liance has done much to improve the grave sites in
recent years, carrying out the arduous work of re-
pairing the burial mounds, planting and cutting
grass, helping reset the tombstones (a project which
area Masonic lodges took on), and providing for the
general upkeep of the grave sites. And, 23 personnel
from the 8th U.S. Army Judge Advocate General of-
fice prepared for the Memorial Day by placing flags
and flowers and picking up debris on the American
grave sites that morning.
On a serene Seoul day, Korean and American
friends, both military and civilian, incl. Deputy
Commanding General Brig. Gen. David J. Conboy
, 96-year-old Korean War hero Park, Yung-Chang,
and Chairwoman Hong, Seung-Ok, Chairwoman of
the Korea-U.S Friendship Alliance, sang hymns, of-
fered prayers, read scriptures, spoke, and otherwise
paid homage to the American heroes. The keynote Chaplain (Col.) Arthur. C. Pace honors the memory of a Korean war veteran at the Seoul Foreigners’ Cemetery in a

Exchange Smooth Move web resource designed to ease PCS stress

Exchange Pacific Public Affairs
CAMP FOSTER, Japan – As school
lets out at locations throughout the
Pacific Region in June, many military
service members and their families
will be choosing summer as the time
to make their permanent change of
station (PCS) moves.
With this in mind, the Army and
Air Force Exchange Service designed
a web-based resource with the goal
of making this transition time a little
easier for the military family, especially
during the busy summer PCS season.
The Exchange’s Smooth Move PCS
Headquarters page, found at www.
shopmyexchange.com, connects mili-
tary service members to a host of vari-
ous sites which provide information
on money saving offers, planning a
move, financial services, checklists
and points of contact for education
and employment at their PCS destina-
tion among many other PCS tips.
“The Exchange realizes how hard it
can be when military service members
and their families PCS, and that’s why
we designed our PCS Headquarters to
help them experience a truly smooth
move,” said Sgt. Maj. James Pigford,
senior enlisted advisor, Exchange Pa-
cific Region.
“It was important for us to provide
them with a resource that not only
makes their PCS a little more afford-
able but also gives them an all-encom-
passing support system, providing
them with access to anything they may
need during this transitional time.”
The PCS Headquarters web page
features an Exchange “Welcome to the
Neighborhood” coupon book full of
special offers aimed at helping mili-
tary families save money during a PCS
move.
Military service members can also
find a link to the Exchange Credit Pro-
gram which provides special promo-
tions revolving around refurnishing
a house or apartment or replenishing
household goods.
Along with money saving offers
and promotions, the PCS Headquar-
ters page links to the Military Moving
Center site which provides online sup-
port to military families who need to
switch their utility services or compare
the prices of utility services in the loca-
tions to which they will be moving.
The Military Homefront Plan My
Move link gives military families ac-
cess to benefit and entitlement infor-
mation and checklists for planning
a move as well as points of contact to
consider when time to PCS.
If military families are seeking as-
sistance with their finances, child-
care or need to talk to someone due
to emotional stress, they can also use
the PCS Headquarters page to link to
Military One Source, a Department of
Defense resource, which provides sup-
port 24-hours a day, seven days a week.

SUWON CITY — Through dances, games, food,
and a luau, Soldiers of the 6th Battalion, 52nd Air
Defense Artillery Battalion celebrated Asian Pacific
American Heritage Month this week with creativity
and enthusiasm, not to mention satisfied appetites.
The celebration attracted hundreds of Soldiers
and Families, as well as local nationals from Peo-
ple to People International and Korean American
Friendship Alliance, as they gathered in front of the
Suwon Community Activity Center to enjoy an after-
noon filled with fun and culture.
According to Spc. Pavela Fiaui, the primary orga-
nizer of the celebration, the intent behind the cel-
ebration is “to showcase the richness and uniqueness
of the Asian and Pacific culture to the Soldiers and
Families of the Iron Horse Battalion.”
Indeed, the culture of Korea, Samoa, Philippines,
Fiji, Tahiti, and Hawaii were vividly and faithfully
portrayed through sight, sound, and taste, as the vol-
unteers eagerly interacted with the audience.
“What I really love about this event is that it is
completely run by Soldier volunteers who loved their
cultural background so much that they cannot wait
to share it with the rest of the world,” said Fiaui, who
is of Samoan descent. “And you can tell their passion
just by looking at them.” Soldiers from the 6th Battalion, 52nd Air Defense Artillery dress as Fijian warriors and perform a traditional dance

and motor vehicle safety training.
Sergeant Keith Myles is an avid
swimmer who is looking forward to
the wide variety of water sports avail-
able in Korea. So he welcomed the
chance to hone his skills at the surviv-
al stroke, a technique which conserves
energy and prevents muscle fatigue in
case a swimmer needs to stay afloat for
a prolonged time.
“This is great training,” Myles said.
“Soldiers are learning how to prevent
overexertion and increase survivability
in the water if they ever fell overboard
on a boat or hurt themselves during
water sports.”
According to Myles, all swimmers,
no matter the skill level, are “suscep-
tible to muscle fatigue,” so it is cru-
cial for everyone to learn the survival
stroke.
The instructors separated the ad-
vanced swimmers from less skilled
ones and provided individual feed-
back on ways to improve.
“I cannot emphasize how impor-
tant water safety training is, especially

BOSS patrols win ‘best event’

By Pvt. Han, Jae-ho
jaeo.han@korea.army.mil
CAMP HUMPHREYS — The
Better Opportunities for Single Sol-
diers (BOSS) program here won the
medium category best event award at
the Department of Army BOSS confer-
ence in San Antonio on April 21.
The award recognized the results of
the “I Am a BOSS” Buddy Program, a
walking patrol which began in March
2010.
The patrols take place twice a
month, on Fridays during payday
weekends, and are intended to raise
awareness of a battle buddy system,
as well as decreasing the risk of sexual
assaults. Volunteers from the instal-
lation, including single Soldiers, ser-
geants and civilians, participate in the
program. Volunteers visit bars and
clubs off post to guard against possible
sexual assaults. BOSS vehicles also pa-
trol on-post areas that buses cannot
reach.
As evident from the award, the pro-
gram has been very successful. The
number of volunteers is increasing
each week, and the program has led to
increased awareness of the importance
of taking care of Soldiers and Families.
Those who have been escorted by
the patrols report that they appreciate
it.
“The program has been very suc-
cessful because it is reaching the Sol-
diers on a peer to peer level. This is
not something that is mandated or
commanded,” former BOSS chapter
President, Spc. Donna Leis said. “Vol-
unteers really enjoy helping to prevent
sexual assaults, and we have seen some
really amazing results.” x

Talon cooks prep for competition

IMCOM-Korea contest
follows Connelly victory
By Sgt. 1st Class Robert People
2nd CAB Public Affairs
CAMP RED CLOUD — After winning the
Camp Humphreys Philip A. Connelly award April 11,
Soldiers from the Talon dining facility are preparing
for the Installation Management Command-Korea
competition June 21.
The Philip A. Connelly Awards Program’s goals
are to: improve food service professionalism; provide
recognition for excellence in food service and prepa-
ration in both garrison and field kitchen operations;
and to provide a higher level of competition and ap-
propriate recognition at installation and Army levels.
Sergeant 1st Class Irving A. Murillo, the Talon
dining facility manager, said the dining facility was
evaluated by the Camp Humphreys installation food
program manager, David Duffie, and the installation
food management specialist, Ms. Jimelyn E. Neal.
“The competition was to evaluate food prepara-
tion, presentation and taste,” Murillo said. “It also
evaluates administrative documentation and cus-
tomer service.”
Murillo said that the winner of the IMCOM com-
petition will then compete at the Department of the
Army level. He said a few of the key areas are the
ordering and inspection of the food, creation of the
menus and the food preparation. Murillo said the
competition does not evaluate anything aside from
normal operations.
“The competition also ensures that we are follow-
ing the basic guidelines of food service preparation,”
he said.
Specialist Lesean Ford, a member of E Co., 4th
Battalion, 2nd Aviation Regiment., said she enjoyed
the experience of being able to teach the new Sol-
diers as they all prepared for this competition.
“I’ve been in the Army for almost seven years and
this is my third duty station,” Ford said. “This is the
first time I’ve had the opportunity to teach other Sol-
diers.”
Ford said while she didn’t observe any areas of
substandard performance, she would like to see
some improvement from the Soldiers in the area of
food preparation time.
Sergeant Jeremy Bogle, a member of E Co., 4-2nd,
said new Soldiers were good for this competition be-
cause they are learning many of the standards for the
very first time.
“They’re young, they’re not stuck in their ways
and they can be more easily taught that this is the
standard,” Bogle said. “They do not have the bad
influences that we sometimes have to try and fight
against.”
“T
he competition also
ensures we are following basic
guidelines of food preparation.”
- Sgt. 1st Class Iriving Murillo
Talon DFAC manager
Bogle said while the Soldiers received great train-
ing and instruction from the noncommissioned of-
ficers, he hopes that this will help them to gain the
confidence for the IMCOM competition and in the
future.
“One of the biggest things I hope the Soldiers gain
before our next competition is the confidence level,”
he said. “The NCOs were really hands-on with them
providing a lot of guidance and I hope that by the
next time, the Soldiers will have developed enough
self-confidence to say, ‘I got this.’”
Murillo said while this is the first duty station of
many of his Soldiers, this competition has been a
great learning experience. “My hopes,” he said, “are
that from these competitions, my Soldiers gain the
basic food service knowledge.” x

“On behalf of my team, I want to

Colonel Joseph P. Moore, United

for noncombatant evacuation demon-

USAG DAEGU
USAG Daegu leaders discusses health and Soldier fitness
Photo and story by Im Hae-na
USAG Daegu Public Affairs
DAEGU GARRISON — In
recognition of National Women’s Health
Month, I sat down with Col. Kathleen
Gavle, Commander, USAG Daegu in a
brief interview about the importance of
good health, and how being physically
fit is so important to the Soldier and the
Army’s mission regarding readiness and
preparedness. The following represent
some of the high points from that
interview
Q : How important is women’s
health in the U.S. Army?
A : It’s important for all Soldiers to be
healthy. It’s a part of readiness that is an
inherent responsibility of all Soldiers.
Maintaining healthy habits for eating,
exercise, and medical care ensures we can
accomplish our mission, but also ensures
a better quality of life over the long term.
Soldiering can be harder on the body than
many professions – regular maintenance
keeps us able to absorb those stresses and
minimize any long term impact.
Q : Why the does the Army
emphasize women’s health?
A : The Army emphasizes health for
all Soldiers, but we recognize that there
are some risks and challenges that are
unique to women, just as there are those
that are unique to men. Women need to
be aware of what is required to take care
of themselves throughout the different
phases of life.
Q : How could a woman’s health,
impact on her Army responsibilities?
The same question can be asked
regarding the male soldier.
A : A Soldier’s health is a key factor of
readiness for men and women. We are
expected to maintain readiness for any
mission anywhere, and time. Much of
this is an individual responsibility and
Discard those habits you do not need and begin the ones you do need
By Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Milton Johnson
USAG Daegu Garrison Chaplain
DAEGU GARRISON — Dr. John
Maxwell, from Enjoy Life Ministries
in Bonita, California, wrote the
following: “You may know me. I’m
your constant companion.
I’m your greatest helper; your
heaviest burden. I will push you
onward or drag you down to failure.
I’m at your command. Half the tasks
you do might as well be turned over to
me. I’m able to do them quickly, and
I’m able to do them the same every
time, if that is what you want. I’m
easily managed; all you have to do is
be firm with me.
Show me exactly how you want it
done and after a few lessons I’ll do
it automatically. I am the servant of
all great men and women; of course
the servant of failures too. But I work
with all the precision of a marvelous
computer, with the intelligence of a
human being.
You may run me for a profit, or
you may run me to ruin; it makes no
difference to me. Take me. Be easy
with me and I will destroy you. Be firm
with me and I will put the world at
your feet. Who am I? I’m habit”
In the Bible, Daniel 6:10 states:
“Now when Daniel learned the decree
had been published, he went home to
his upstairs room where the windows
opened toward Jerusalem.
Three times a day he got down on

Ricketts, Administrative officer, Command Group, USAG Daegu. The Commander is
very supportive of efforts to educate the USAG Daegu and Southeast Hub of increased
fitness and health awareness.
failure to accept that responsibility can
affect a Soldier’s ability to contribute to
his/her team. Poor heath can lead to
any number of problems for a soldier,
including a lessened ability to deal with
every day stresses. Every Soldier makes
a difference in a unit - we need them to
take their health seriously.
Women, of course, have the challenge
of pregnancy that significantly impacts
combat readiness. When a Soldier is
pregnant, it’s critical for her to maintain
or establish healthy habits to give her
baby the best possible start in life. It’s
also critical for the Soldier’s ability to
care for her child and for her ability to
recover to the Army’s fitness standards.
Pregnancy does not absolve us of our
responsibilities as Soldiers.
Q : What advice or guidance would
you give to promote health awareness
his knees and prayed, giving thanks
to his God as he had done before!”
Daniel had a habit of prayer. Earlier in
the book of Daniel we learn that out
of habit Daniel listened to God and
ate things that were good for his body.
Listen to the following concerning
habits:
Like Paul, I shall forget those things
that are behind and press forward;
Like David, lift up mine eyes unto
the hills whence cometh my help –
help comes from the Lord;
Like Abraham, trust implicitly in
my God;
Like Enoch, walk in daily fellowship
with my heavenly father;
Like Jehoshaphat, prepare my heart
to seek God;
THE MORNING CALM
to women and their families?
A : Take it seriously – has so much of
an impact on self-image, energy to care
for Families, long term quality of life.
Appreciate your family’s health history to
understand your personal risk factors. It’s
important to be a role model for children.
Q : How important is health to
work performance?
A : Very important. Go back to basic
readiness. Energy and strength to do a
job and to accomplish the mission in any
condition, to include combat. Also to
contribute to the team, squad, platoon,
company --- the Army is a team sport,
and all have a role in making the team
successful.
Q : When is a good time to start a
fitness plan?
A : Any time. Every little bit helps
the cause.
Like Moses, choose rather to suffer
than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a
season;
Like Daniel, commune with God
at all times;
Like Job, be patient under all
circumstances;
Like Caleb, and Joshua, refuse to
be discouraged because of superior
numbers;
Like Gideon, advance even though
my friends are few;
Like Aaron and Hur, uphold the
hands of my leaders with prayer and
practical support;
Like Andrew, strive to lead my
brothers and sisters to God;
Like Stephen, express a forgiving
spirit toward all who seek my heart;
Realizing that I cannot hope to
achieve those objectives from my own
strength. I shall rely upon the power
of God, for I can do all things in Him
who strengthens me.
We all have habits. Some are good
and some are not so good. Habits
should help build us up and not tear
us down. Take a few moments to
examine the habits you have.
Are there some that control you?
Are there some that hinder your
relationship with God? Are there some
you have been meaning to start and
have not?
After you take this habit inventory,
ask God for courage and will power to
discard those habits you do not need
and begin the ones you do need.x

AAFES brings the comfort of home to Soldiers serving abroad
Photo and story by Lee Seung-bin
USAG Daegu Public Affairs
DAEGU GARRISON — This is Part
I in a two -part interview with Paula
Henderson, AAFES General Manager,
USAG Daegu and the Southeast Hub.
The soap you use for washing in the
morning, the foods you eat for lunch,
the books you read and the bed you
sleep in at night --all of these are among
the many items that can be found and
supplied by Army & Air Force Exchange
Service (AAFES). For more than 115 years,
AAFES has not only brought to us merely
material pleasure, but a spectacular joy
of life that contributes immensely to
goodwill and happy companionship.
Paula Henderson is the general
manager at the Korea Southern
Exchange. She is responsible for all
AAFES activities on the installations.
As such, she supports providing the
troops with merchandise and services
vital to maintaining their quality of
life in peacetime, contingency, and
wartime environments. I set down with
Paula Henderson and asked her some
questions I thought would arouse the
reader’s curiosity.
Q: How do you determine whether
new products are of value to or for the
U.S. Army community?
A: There are many things we take into
consideration when selecting what we
sell in our stores --pricing, value, size of
community, demographics, community
classification.
There are buying teams for all
departments and sub departments of our
AAFES facilities. We have a centralized
buying office in Dallas and vendors
can come to us there and present new
products to us. Also, our buyers scour
trade magazines looking for the latest
and greatest products for our military
customers. They do site visits to other
retail facilities throughout the U.S. to
see the items they offer. New items are
either added on a trial basis as a one-time
purchase or it will be added to our regular
stock assortment. If added as a one-time
purchase, sales of the item are monitored
Yi, Su-yong, Store Manager, Camp Walker Main Exchange, discusses customer feedback and satisfaction with Paula Henderson,
AAFES Korea Southern Exchange General Manager.
USAG DAEGU USAG-D • PAGE 27
http://daegu.korea.army.mil
and if it is a successful product, it may
be added to our regular assortment. We
will only buy well-produced, high quality
merchandise, and if a product does not
meet safety standards, it will not be
purchased. We also listen to customer
feedback about items they would like
to see in their stores and forward that
feed back to our Dallas headquarters.
We supplement our centralized buying
with some local procurement such as
electronics manufactured in Korea,
Korean foods and Korean souvenirs.
Q: If the AAFES doesn’t have
something the customer needs, what
can you do to satisfy them?
A: We can get merchandise in two
ways. We have something called ‘The
Shuttle Program’. If we don’t have
something a customer wants, we can
get merchandise from Osan or Yongsan
brought here for our customers. The
other is ‘The Special Order’. Customers
come to us and tell “what they want” we
check the bigger stores and bring it to
here. We try to get it here for them. Just
they can come to our store and buy it.
We try to do that within approximately
five days.
Q: From beginning to end, what
procedures are followed to bring
such products as foods, books,
DVDs, electronic appliances that are
brought into and displayed in the
AAFES?
A: Headquarter buyers scout the
industries to find goods for our stores.
Goods must meet our safety standards,
cost of goods, sell price and value. The
items are contracted by our headquarter
buyers and contractors, added to our stock
assortment, set to POG (Plan-o-grams)
and by store stocking levels, brought into
our stores through AAFES warehouse or
vendor direct deliveries, delivered and
received by stockroom employees at

and shampoos things like that.
Q: Which AAFES facility usually
has the highest sales?
A: Osan and Yongsan AAFES facilities
now have the highest sales in Korea right
now. The Camp Walker main store is
the highest sales in the Southeast Hub.
The second highest sales are the Camp
Carroll Exchange.
Q: Only the customer who has
a U.S. ID card can enter the AAFES.
What is the reason?
A: The U.S. government has
the SOFA agreements with Korea
government, saying that only ID card
holders are allowed to enter and buy the
merchandises in our facilities. Also, the
U.S. basically same thing is that only ID
card holders are allowed to shop in our
facilities. This is because of a law the U.S.
Government put together that stipulates
only ID card holders are allowed to shop
in AAFES facilities.

general manager for the Korea Southern
Exchange, in the June 10 issue of the

Vehicle fires and summer safety things to keep in mind
Story and photos by Andrew Allen
USAG Daegu Deputy Fire Chief
DAEGU GARRISON — As an eighteen
year old rookie firefighter, I watched a
fire consume 4 teenagers on a farm road
after they had gone joy riding and rolled
their car; they had ditched school that
day after lunch period. No one else for
miles, straight road, clear cut fields on
both sides; a farmer called it in when he
heard the wreck from his home. They
were alive and awake when the fire killed
them, they were pinned and could not
get out, I know, I will not ever forget; the
20lbs fire extinguisher on the patrol car I
had was no match against the fire;
We as leaders, supervisors and friends
need to be aware that we are all
susceptible to vehicle accidents and
fires. No matter how good the driver
is, that other guy is not; that guy will
slam on the breaks, swerve, cut in
front, or any other crazy thing when
you least expect it! Driving, passenger,
chauffeured around, riding in a taxi or
bus, we must be mindful of our safety.
If you do not take action to correct a
problem, even if that means getting out
and walking, you are lining yourself up
to participate in a vehicle collision and
possible fire.
Most deaths involving vehicle fires
occur after a survivable vehicle accident.
As in building fires, most vehicle fire
deaths occur in ones and twos; you and a
friend. We as individuals can help reduce
the loss of life due to vehicle fires by just
being safer drivers and always wearing
your seat belt.
Who is the most susceptible; you
USAG DAEGU THE MORNING CALM
know it, teens and young adults face
the highest risk of dying in a highway
vehicle fire.
When we look at vehicle fires, not just
vehicle fire deaths, what are the causes
of these fires? Nearly half the time,
mechanical failure or malfunction,
such as leaks, breaks, backfires or worn-
out parts are to blame. Nearly one out
of four were from electrical failure or
malfunction. Equipment failure is a
more common cause of fire among older
vehicles. Two-thirds of highway vehicle
fires start in the engine compartment,
or wheel area. Last, summer time is the
time for the most car fires; make sure you
and your vehicle are ready for long road
trips her in Korea or home on leave.
Here are some safety tips:
1. Wear your seat belt & Drive to arrive.
2. Maintain your car to arrive in style,
not behind a tow truck. An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure.
3. Have any mechanical or electrical
problems repaired promptly, even on
your “Hooptie”.
