Pulling together to support the battalion promotes enthusiasm and camaraderie among the young Soldiers. This is going to take us about a day and a half to dig this bunker, said Poaha, but he added that supporting the effort to win the contest was exciting. Sergeant John Gifford, who oversaw the prepa-
rations for the inspection, said, We have received a lot of support from across the Brigade, helping us to get ready. Private First Class Erica Asbury was nervous about their upcoming inspection, but said, We have done well no matter what, but it would be great to win. The inspection will be held in early November. x
SUWON AIR BASE The 6th Battalion, 52nd Air Defense Artillery is rightfully proud of its dining facility. Over the past year, the chefs and food service NCOs have labored to put their best foot forward in the Philip A. Connelly competition, a Department of the Army contest designed to promote excellence in food service. Their hard work has resulted in the Iron Horse Battalion being nominated to represent Eighth Army in the Field Kitchen category. Next week, the Department of the Army will send inspectors out to observe the DFAC personnel at work, serving their fellow Soldiers with hot food in the field, sustaining the fighting force. The stakes are high, and the Soldiers are responding to the tension by pulling together to build the best possible field kitchen on Suwon Air Base. In preparation for the inspection, the battalion has built a field kitchen environment, complete with gravel walkways, sandbagged and secured dining tents, and bunkers able to provide 360-degree security. Digging in Koreas hard red clay and sweating in the crisp autumn air, Soldiers from across the Battalion, worked to support their fellow Iron Horse soldiers. Private Justin Poaha, 21, of Palolo, Hawaii, took charge of a detail tasked with digging out a .50 caliber machine gun emplacement. It is good PT, he said, outlining the plan to build five-foot deep bunkers with roofs and secure firing points. Working with him were Pvt. Kevin Brooks, 20, of Memphis, Tenn.; Pvt. Brian Dilley, 22, of Milwaukee; Pfc. Daniel Kellogg, 22, of Monmouth, Ill.; and Pvt. Charles Johnson, 23, of Atlanta.

Baekjes royal family and political leaders had escaped from Korean peninsula to Wae (old name of Japan in Korean) with many artists, craftsmen, musicians, so its culture was continued in Japan. Joon Auci, with Child and Youth Service, said, Thank you very much for providing me with an opportunity. I was unaware of the accomplishment of the Baekje dynasty and its implication of influencing the culture of Japan. During this trip I felt a genuine kindness from the cultural ministry staff. Most people said they would like to come back if there is another trip next year. Their feedback about the tour including hotel and food was very positive.

I visited the Cagsawa ruin in the town of Daraga, which is about five miles from Legazpi on the island of Luzon in the Philippines Sept. 6. All that remains of the Franciscan church, which was built in 1724, is the belfry and some part of the convent. The Feb. 1, 1814 eruption of the Mayon Volcano (behind it) buried the town of Cagsawa under volcanic ash and also reportedly claimed the lives of 1,200 people, including hundreds who took refuge in the church. The ruin is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Bicol Province and provides a terrific view of the active Mayon Volcano, which last erupted in December 2009.

YONGSAN GARRISON - Fire safety, as Yongsan Deputy Fire Chief Brad Bowling said, should be a year-round priority for every Family. However, for one week in October, fire safety comes to the fore as the U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan Fire Department holds Fire Prevention Week. Yongsan Fire Fighters welcomed the community to their fire station with an open house Oct. 12, to teach Soldiers, civilians and children from Seoul American Elementary School the importance of fire safety. This years open house included demonstrations from the Seoul Fire Department, who brought a burning building simulator and fire extinguisher trainers for the students of SAES. Students were given a chance to navigate through the burning structure to the fire escape, where an emergency slide led them to safety. On the other end, students handled training extinguishers used by the Seoul Fire Department for their own firemen. This works out perfect for us, be-

cause we just learned the lessons yesterday, said SAES 4th Grade Teacher Kim Gold. So now we get to put it into practice. Its all extra practice, which is never a harmful thing. On the other side of the fire station, the USO served up a barbecue feast for everyone. AFN set up a table across from the barbecue area to produce a live broadcast, and a bouncy castle was set up for children, with fire safety reminders written on the inside walls. This is the one time of year we bring fire safety to the forefront, say hey, here it is. We show it, teach it, and make it fun, Bowling said. We try to put the word out that its not just this week, that its a year-round thing. The event was the result of months of coordination between the Seoul Fire Department, the Yongsan Fire Department and the USO, working off the comments and requests from previous years events. Yongsan Fire Chief Alex Temporado said that all of the agencies make sure to mark their calendars for the event every year. For the community, Temporado believes that Fire Prevention Week gives the community a broader respect for the fire department. You have professionals here in the Yongsan community that are willing and ready to put their lives on the line for the lives of the community, Temporado said. x

YONGSAN GARRISON - In honor of Fire Prevention Week, Seoul American Elementary School kids visited Yongsan Fire Department Oct. 14. All the classes toured the fire station and listened to lessons about how the department operates in normal times and in emergencies. They then received proper fire prevention education by fire fighters. They first watched a fire safety video and learned how to evacuate from different scenes or accidents and protect themselves from the fire. After the safety class, students were given a chance to look around the fire station and at a variety of equipment and fire engines which have different roles and purposes to run. The highlight of the event was all participants had
to practice evacuating from the building filled with smoke where they could barely see in front of them and had to rely on dim lights and sounds. Sparky the fire dog welcomed each student after accomplishing the safety training and the visitors took a group photo with him after the lesson. x
I LOVE Myeongdong - just as the sign in that area says. Im a size 10 but find that there are so many fashionable clothes that fit me. I also love Dongdaemun. There are areas for larger women that boast some very stylish shirts, jackets, and dresses. Oh, and if you go over to Time Square mall there is a huge underground area with fashionable clothes for $5 and up. There are a lot of larger shirts that you are supposed to wear with tights which is the fashion area. Im not small and Ive never had an issue finding shirts and skirts here. Pants are more difficult. Happy shopping.

been a good team member in his job as a data analyst, but with his previous experience in other systems, he was able to help others with his knowledge and skills. When Bryan came to Korea the facilities both on and off post served as a challenge as few of them were equipped to handle the disabled. For the 65th support office, the team pulled together and made their own renovations, fixing the parking lot and the ramp to give Bryan more access. Though the main facilities on post, including the PX, Commissary and Dragon Hill Lodge, have full handicap access, office buildings, including the 65th Medical Brigade office where Bryan works may not be up to code. For the disabled to have access to buildings or getting around the community, it might be a bit difficult because it doesnt conform to the Disability Act for access to those people. Since we have older buildings without automatic doors or elevators, it can be quite difficult compared to stateside. Even with the challenges that it brings, Bryan continues to provide resource and data management for the 65th Medical Brigade. His one goal, though, is to make sure that others know that he isnt alone. I would like to see this program give a little insight to the community, Bryan said. Mostly on how they can help disabled veterans and employees have better access to buildings or other areas they may not be able to access. As for his manager, Chase, theres no regret when he talks about hiring Bryan. Mr. Bryan has come a long way, and he loves to work by himself, said Chase. He doesnt rely on people for his day to day life.x

Additionally, Bowling encouraged anyone who might have questions about fire safety, smoke detectors, car seat inspections, or anything else related to fire safety to contact the fire department at any
time all year long. Fire Prevention Week is the one week in the year that the Fire Department gets to send out a message about fire safety, which is important and needs to be followed not just for one week, but all year round, stated Bowling. x

OSAN AIR BASE Even with their high-tech radars and Patriot missiles capabilities used to counter an enemy attack, the 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade knows how to get back to basics. On Oct. 8, the brigade leadership executed a Rehearsal of Concept (ROC) Drill for their upcoming Field Training Exercise (FTX) at the Suwon Air Base Gymnasium. Colonel Eric L. Sanchez began the drill by thanking the Brigade S3 shop for putting together the sand table brigade leaders would use to brief him on their understanding of the operation. We all know it was the NCOs and Soldiers who spent all the time putting this together for us, Sanchez said, referring to the layout in the gymnasium. The concept known as a ROC drill is nothing new to the Army, said Maj. Jason Townsend, 35th ADA operations officer. Our key task was to follow the commanders intent and execute the drill to ensure our subordinate commanders, two levels down, understand and can articulate their mission back to the brigade leadership. Soldiers assigned to the brigade S3 section, spent much of the day before the event setting up the gym, using camouflage netting to illustrate the rugged terrain the units would encounter during the exercise. Once the terrain was in place, Soldiers used numerous other materials to show the road networks, key terrain, and each wartime location. Each battery and company commander and first briefed the brigade commander and command sergeant major on their scheme of maneuver and concept of support for the FTX. They moved throughout the sand table, explaining their mission and how they will mitigate different situations they may encounter. The exercise was a great opportunity for leaders to work together on how the plan was going to play itself out, said Sgt. 1st Class Arnall Spann, 35th ADA fire control officer NCOIC. It gave us a chance to work directly in the same environment that we would in the event of war, while helping us visualize how we are going to exercise
our wartime mission and how we get to our wartime locations. This ROC drill also afforded our command team to see that our junior commanders have thought through the entire process of deploying their Soldiers to a remote location and challenged the entire staff to think through the support that we should be given the firing units. You can only make so much sense of an operation order on paper, but once you see it on the ground it makes more sense, Townsend said. Soldiers confirmed that the drills help them better understand the entire picture of an operation. x

Was inspired this year to make both my daughters MUMMY costumes out of their dads old white tshirts. Still sewing but they are looking great.
Im gonna disguise like a skeleton or monster. Ive never had a Halloween party before, but Ive always dreamed about wearing Halloween costumes. I will wear a black gown which can cover whole my body, and a skeleton mask which was used in a favorite horror movie Scream. I wanna frighten my friends and parents with those costumes in a dark night only with candles.
