Eighth U.S. Army Soldiers pledge allegiance to the U.S. flag after officially becoming American citizens during a naturalization ceremony at Yongsan July 6. A total
of 40 Soldiers took part in the ceremony. This ceremony was the last of six held in overseas locations including one in Kuwait, Germany, Guam, and two in Iraq.

40 Soldiers become U.S. citizens at Yongsan ceremony

By Spc. Brandon Moreno
EUSA Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON —There are certain freedoms
Americans are born into such as freedom of speech or
the right to vote. One freedom U.S. citizens share with
the rest of the world is the right to serve in the American
military. The thing that makes serving in the U.S. military
unique is it gives non-U.S. citizens the opportunity to
become American.
Forty U.S. Soldiers were officially made American when
they were naturalized in a ceremony at the U.S. Embassy
Club located on Yongsan July 6.
A keynote speech was given by Lt. Gen. David
Valcourt, commander of the 8th U.S. Army. He also
presented the Soldiers with their certificates of
naturalization.
Many of the Soldiers who were naturalized had very
different paths they followed toward becoming an
American citizen.
“I spent a good chunk of my life in Liberia,” said Sgt.
Jerome Gibson, an eye technician with 18th Medical
Command. “My parents were evangelists so I spent a lot
of time growing up in many different countries along the
western coast of Africa. I came to the states in 2000, I had
just turned 18,” he said.
Although Gibson spent his life in Africa, he was like
many young Americans who decide to become Soldiers.
“I came to the states because I wanted to see all the
fun things and experience all the great advantages my
family told me of,” Gibson said. “I had been to private
school all my life. When I came to the states I finished
high school, then I told my mother I wanted to work and

take a break from the hassle of private schooling. So a few
months after graduating from high school, I joined the
military. So far it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever
made,” he explained.
Perhaps Gibson’s intentions were solely on taking a break
and serving the U.S., but he eventually took advantage of
his Army benefits by becoming a legal citizen.
“I gave naturalization a thought, but I wasn’t pushing for
it,” Gibson said. “My parents nagged me for some time, but
I wasn’t in a rush. When I joined the military I simply wanted
to serve this nation. About a year ago I heard on the radio
about how if you are serving in the U.S. military you can be
naturalized. So I asked my command and sure enough it was
true. So here I am today, an American citizen,” he said.
In the future he plans on advancing his career within the
Army.
“In the future I plan on switching from green to gold,”
Gibson said.
Another Soldier who was naturalized joined because he
felt he had some unique qualities that would be very
advantageous to the Army.
“I originally left Iran because my dad worked for the
government and found better work elsewhere, which
eventually led us to the states,” said Pvt. Ali Asad, an infantry
man with the 2nd Infantry Division. “From the beginning he
wanted me to join the Army. My reasons for joining were
definitely not citizenship. It’s just a perk that goes along
with the job. I joined because I wanted to be an infantry man

and go to Iraq. I figured I could be very helpful to the U.S.
Army because I know how to speak Turkish, Persian and
Arabic, plus I am familiar with the culture,” he said.
Whether it was to experience the American life or a family
situation, each of the individuals naturalized are unique in
the sense they all have their own stories as to why they
came to the states. One thing they all hold in common for
future stories is they are now Americans serving in the
United States Army together.

AFN Korea Update
AFN-K remains vital force in news, entertainment
By Cpt. Paradon Silpasornprasit
AFN-K Public Affairs Officer
YONGSAN — For more than half a century, American
Forces Network-Korea has been broadcasting radio and
television service to the thousands who serve in the Republic
of Korea. It is dedicated to bringing the latest in quality
programming, news, entertainment and command information
to audiences throughout the peninsula.
Known as the “Frontline Network,” AFN-K is located in
five locations throughout the Republic of Korea and is made
up of more than 120 Servicemembers and Civilians, poised to
take military radio and television to new heights.
Today, AFN-K continues its excellent record of service by
undergoing a series of sweeping changes to its programming.
It has accomplished many AFN-K “firsts” in the past year,
from live 12-hour radio shows to live broadcasts of its nightly
news and format changes. It has also expanded its reach to a
worldwide audience via the popular Internet site YouTube.
“AFN-Korea has come a long way from its early days of
broadcasting,” said Wally Cornelison, AFN-K operations
manager, “Through satellite technology, we are able to do things
that were unheard of just a few years ago. Viewers can now
enjoy live major breaking news, sporting events and
entertainment.”
In addition to providing entertainment, AFN-K serves as
an avenue for its audience to advertise their organizations,
people, events or important messages. It is the job of the
network to tell the stories of servicemembers and their families.
Through AFN-K, messages are broadcast not only within the
Republic of Korea but to the entire world.
American Forces Network-Korea can be found on the radio
and television as well as the World Wide Web. Radio listeners
can tune in to Eagle FM and Thunder AM in different areas for
chart-topping hits, news and command information. Television
viewers will find a variety of shows and programming on AFN-
Prime Pacific, which airs AFN-K’s nightly newscast and offers
a variety of shows for the entire family. There’s something for
everyone on AFN. AFN-K is also on the Internet. Log on to
www.afnkorea.net to see the latest stories, make song requests,
look at weather and access the host of important information
on what’s going on in the local area. “I think AFN offers a
wide range of great programs to watch,” said Jessica Zeller,
AFN-K viewer. “My family and I depend on it for much of our
SIGHTS AND SOUNDS: Off-post Events and Activities
Seoul Fishmarket (Open Daily)
The Department of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries
operates the Noryangjin Fish Market which is Seoul’s largest
market for marine products. This 66,000 square meter facility
houses 700 shops selling fresh and dried fish and squid
from 15 fishing ports around Korea and is very easy to find
from Yongsan. It also includes numerous restaurants, an
auction floor, and an adjacent agricultural section. A vist to
the market can be a very intersting experience for both youth
and adults as it offers a first-hand look at many of the local
fish products and plenty of opportunities to purchase or
simply look at an amazing variety of living fish and other sea
creatures. Located on the south western end of the market,
visitors will also find a fresh produce, spice and vegetable
market. Open from 3 a.m. to 9 p.m., retailers work every day
while wholesalers take off Sundays and holidays.
Directions: Take subway line 1 to the Noryangjin Station.
There are also plenty of paid parking options directly at the
market building.
Seoul Namdaemun Market (Open Daily)
Namdaemun, which literally means “South Gate,” was as one
might imagine the location of the southern entrance through
the wall that used to surround Seoul. The wall is long gone,
but the gate still remains standing proudly in the rotary
adjacent to one of the busiest markets in Korea, Namdaemun.
Namdaemun is a barometer of Seoul`s economic situation
and where Seoulites and tourists can comparison shop for

news and entertainment.”
Here’s what’s in store for the AFN-K audience: Later this summer,
AFN-K will launch its “Design Your AFN Commercial” contest, in
which DoD cardholders can submit ideas for commercials. At the
end of this year the network’s Web site will undergo a major redesign
to give visitors a more user friendly site and faster access to
information. A new system of inserting command information on
different AFN channels is scheduled to go online allowing
commanders more flexibility to get messages out to the troops.
The entire backdrop of the television newscast is scheduled to
change, giving AFN-K a new look. Radio programming will be
standardized so listeners will hear the same music selections
throughout the peninsula. All this is an effort to ensure that the
quality and level of service AFN-K brings to its audience is
unmatched anywhere in the world.
As AFN-K moves through the 21st century, it remains committed
to the mission of serving those who serve in the Republic of Korea.
While serving overseas, its audience can count on the best in
programming to make them feel a little closer to home.

Nightly Newscast weekdays 6:45 p.m. and 10 p.m.

the lowest prices on all sorts of goods. The streets are teeming
with shopkeepers selling their wares in English, Japanese and
Korean. So tourists concerned about a language barrier shouldn’t
hesitate to visit this world-famous shopping paradise.
Directions: Take subway line number 4 and get off at Hoehyeon
Station to see Namdaemun. Although the market is a short drive
from Yongsan, taking the subway is recommended since parking
can be expensive and hard to find.
Chungmuro Pet Street
As the name would indicate, Chungmuro Pet Street is full of pet
stores, animal hospitals and pet grooming shops. These shops
line the street on either side, shoulder to shoulder. Known by
Koreans simply as "Aewangyeon Market," meaning "Puppy
Market," this pet market was established in the late 70s. The best
time to visit Chungmuro Pet Street is on Sundays, walk down the
street and look at all the cute puppies, cats and other pets through
the shop windows. Pet lovers will find them irresistibly adorable.
The shops mostly sell puppies. But the variety of dogs won`t
disappoint you, with dalmatians, poodles, pit-bulls terriers, Korean
Jindo dogs, which are named after the island they originated from,
and so on.
Directions: Take subway line number 3 or 4 to Chungmuro Station.
It’s a short walk from there.

SEOUL, South Korea — One Hundred
and Seventeen outstanding United States
Forces Korea Servicemembers were
honored at a dinner hosted by the Korean
Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs
at Building 63 June 29.
The dinner ended a three-day cultural
orientation tour for USFK Service
members, sponsored by the MPVA to
educate attendees on the history, culture
and people of the Republic of Korea.
“For the past three days, you traveled
across Korea before coming to this

provided you a good opportunity to see,
learn, and understand Korea better and the
memories you gained stay with you,” said
Minister Kim, Jung Bok, Ministry of
Patriots and Veteran's Affairs Minister.
Kim took a moment to recognize 12
attendees with Family Members who
served in the Republic of Korea during the
Korean War.
“Tonight, we have with us twelve
Service members whose Family Members
are Korean War Veterans. Serving in Korea
generation after generation is a symbol of

to share their experiences with
representatives of their commands who
were also invited guests at the dinner. Many
of the Servicemembers who participated on
the tour were eager to share their experience
with others.
“I read a lot about the areas we visited
ahead of time so it was great to see them in
person. This tour was a new way to
understand the Korean culture I’m living
in and the importance of why we’re serving
here,” said Navy Lt. Robert Atkinson,

Area I celebrates Independence Day
By Jim Cunningham
USAG-RC Public Affairs
USAG-CASEY—Daylong plans to celebrate
America’s Independence Day became soggy early
July 4, so senior leadership decided to move the
festivities indoors to Carey Fitness Center. Not all
venues could remain and set up in Carey, so only
the local Korean entertainment, Korean Pop music
stars, and the famed Nanta group from Seoul,
performed during the afternoon. All was not lost;
however, because all other festivities were
rescheduled July 8.
“It is the Fourth of July and these Soldiers deserve
the very best,” said Maj. Gen. James Coggin, 2nd
Infantry Division commander. “That is what Morale,
Welfare, and Recreation has delivered to us today.”
“We have a world class line up and we are going
to work through the rain, which means we are going
to have a great day, so thanks to everybody who put
this together because the Soldiers appreciate it.”
The block party was postponed. All the vendors
and outdoor activities resumed July 8.
“What a great way to celebrate our independence
we won so many years ago,” said Lt. Col. Terry
Hodges, USAG-Casey garrison commander. “And
now when we consider the alliance we have with
Korea, which is more than 50 years old, we can see
independence in that with democracy, it is so

inspiring. What a great way to celebrate; the young
children here are the future leaders of Korea, and
the young Soldiers here are the future leaders of
America. There could be no better collaboration.”
Events were originally scheduled for indoors
remained on schedule. Boxing matches remained at
the Camp Hovey Fitness Center and musical
entertainment remained in the evening at the
Warrior’s Club.
“We are not going to let the weather deter us.
We moved most of the family entertainment to July
8,” Hodges said. “Instead of having one day we have
made it into a long term celebration. The rain gave
us some interesting challenges but we will pull it off
in the end. We held off as long as we could for the
weather call, but things turned out for the best
anyway.”
As many as 21 separate events were put in motion
for the extended Independence Day celebration.
“We have three main acts on stage today, and we
have the Korean Dynasty Horseback riders. Plus,
we have 13 carnival games and live horseback riding,
a Freedom Train ride and the Casey fire truck ride,”
said Frank De Silva, MWR marketing director.
“Children can get on the fire truck and take a ride
and they can ride on the Freedom Train from the Korean cheerleaders perform among troops during the
main gate to the commissary parking lot.” Independence Day celebration July 4 in Carey Fitness

Safety duty officers train at Red Cloud

By Jim Cunningham
USAG-RC Public Affairs
USAG-RED CLOUD—Safety
measures are now adapted to meet the
demands of changes in Area I and the
2nd Infantry Division.
Since the ultimate safety
responsibility for preserving human and
material resources in all brigade,
battalion and company level units rests
solely with the commander, the U.S.
Army sees the need to require
additional duty safety officers or
noncommissioned officers be trained
in all safety aspects. These additional
collateral duty safety officers will assist
the commanders with all elements of
the U.S. Army safety programs when
there is no assigned safety officer. For
that reason, all units, brigades,
battalions and company level units will
appoint individuals to serve as ADSOs.
Individuals must be trained to know
how to initiate and sustain unit safety
programs, understand and use
composite risk management processes,
conduct safety surveys, report and
investigate accidents, ensure safety in
tactical operations, and promote safety
in garrison and off-duty activities,
including privately owned vehicle
accident prevention.
“I am conducting three day courses
in conjunction with experts from the
2nd Infantry Division and Area I,” said
Kiman “James” Kang, 2ID safety
officer. “Federal regulations OSHA 29
CFR and the Army Standards AR 385-
10 require all organizations, military
and civilian, to have a written safety
program for their activity. Individuals
need to be appointed to oversee the
program to ensure safety of
operational and personal procedures
and processes.”
Those individuals that are appointed
the ADSO/NCO will need to be
trained before they can function as
safety officers.
Selected Soldiers and Civilians will
attend three day, 24 hour, ADSO/NCO
training. The course will be offered
quarterly at building S-546 on Camp
Casey. Each Company and above-
level command and equivalent Civilian
Organizations will appoint an ADSO/
NCO to be the sole point of contact
for the commander on written orders.
“Before the appointed student can
take the class they must complete an
ADSO course online and bring a copy
of his/her appointment orders and the
certification of completion from the
CRC online training to class,” Kang
said. “These newly trained safety
officers will assist commanders in
preventing accidents in all areas of
operations during peacetime and
combat, which enhances their unit’s
ability to maximize and sustain unit’s
operational readiness and mission
capabilities.”
When the appointed students
complete the training, they will have
increased knowledge on mission
safety, tactical and nontactical, and
enhanced understanding of Army
Safety Program regulations and
standards, according to Kang.
Subjects covered in the classes are
Accident Prevention and Reporting,
Privately Owned Vehicle and
Motorcycle Safety, Explosives Safety,
Radiation Safety, Fire Prevention and
Protection, Respiratory Protection,
Composite Risk Assessment,
Environmental Protection, Hearing
Conservation, Hazardous
Communication, Tactical Safety,
Seasonal Safety and Job Hazard
Analysis.
“I believe that when all concerned
have appointed and trained ADCOs it
will greatly enhance not only personal
safety, but relieve the Army, Area I
command and 2ID, from any potential
liability,” Kang said. “These newly
trained safety officers will be the key
in preventing personal injury or
occupational illness due to hazardous
work conditions or working
environments.”

Independence from Page 5

The planning and coordination took
a large effort from MWR, Army and
Air Force Exchange Service, and
others involved.
“I was asked to be the main
coordinator for this event back in early
May,” De Silva said. “The rain caused
a huge disappointment because we
had lots of people here, but we saved
the day by putting the Korean acts that
could not come back on July 8 in
Carey Fitness Center, so everyone
could enjoy the entertainment.
“We really ended up doing two
Fourth of July events in one week. We
had more than 18 boxing matches in
the fitness center and the house was
packed.”
With all the last minute changes
made in schedules and arrangements
for all the acts and events, there were
no complaints from the performers or
the Soldiers who benefited from the
celebration.
“The logistics were difficult, but no
one complained about the changes.
They all understood the reasons for the
postponement and understood the
changes were necessary,” said John
Antes, MWR entertainment
coordinator. “We heard no complaints,
only compliments.”
Because of the success, even with
rain delays and postponements, the
celebration was a huge success and
inspired the coordinators to plan
another similar celebration in the
future.
“We are planning to do something
similar to this for Labor Day,” De Silva
said. “After all, the weather is better
in September.”
More than 4,000 carnival prizes
were given away, and to some, they
had to compete and win.
Even though Pvt. Michael Harris of
the 702nd cannot keep the tomahawk
he pitched to win the tomahawk-
throwing contest, he took a trophy
home with him.
“I wish I could put the tomahawk
next to the trophy in the display, but
they will not let me do that,” Harris
said. “I didn’t do any kind of training
for this competition. I just wanted to
have a good time and I guess luck was
on my side.
“I used to pitch baseball when I was
younger. I will display the trophy on
my dresser next to my remote
controlled racing car.”
Most large events such as the Area
I Independence Day celebration, have
to have organizers on the ground
making sure certain events happen on
time.
“I am in charge of the tomahawk
throwing competition and the face
painting for the children,” said Charles
Lyons, Army Family Action Plan/Army
Family Team Building coordinator.
“Even in this heat and humidity I would
guess there are about 1,000 people
here now.”
“MWR marketing group did an
outstanding job for this event today,”
Lyons said. “They continually worked
with the community resources to create A Soldier tries to stay on the mechanical bull during July 4 festivities
this great celebration today.” in Warrior Park on Camp Casey July 8.

Country singer Chris Cagle gets in touch with the Yongsan community July 4 at Collier Field House.
Chris Cagle hits Yongsan with ‘wild country’
By Pfc. Im Jin-min
USAG-Yongsan Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON —
More than 700 Yongsan Community
members flocked to listen to country
music singer and songwriter Chris
Cagle at Collier Field House July 4,
despite a heavy monsoon rain earlier
in the day.
Chris Cagle is one of the leading
country musicians famous for his
debut single, “My Love Goes On and
On” which reached the charts in
2000, and his other hits such as
“Laredo”, and “What a Beautiful
Day”, - all peaking on the music
charts.
Cagle performed in a string of
Morale, Welfare and Recreation
shows at military bases in Korea since
June 29. He also visited the Korean
Demilitarized Zone.
Cagle captured country music fans
with an energetic and passionate
performance. Community members
cheered in the sweaty heat as they left
their seats to crowd around the stage.
Music lovers danced along near the
stage, some swung hands side-by-side,
while others simply lifted their arms to
wave with the rhythm.
Amanda Laird was one of the first
fans to dash up to the stage.
“I love country, and I love Cagle,”
Laird said. “He put on a great show
with his hit songs, and it was a lot of
fun. Cagle knows how to capture his
fans on stage.”
The concert ended when U.S.
Army Garrison-Yongsan Commander
Col. Ronald Stevens thanked Cagle
and his band by presenting them with
an American eagle statue. Many fans
lined up hoping to get an autograph.
“It’s a privilege to be here,” said
base guitarist Eddie Dunbar. “Our
hearts are full when we come up on
stage and the fans are with us 100
percent.”
Dunbar added that the members of
the band were honored to perform for
the troops and their families.
“We are genuine in our heartfelt
belief that what the troops are doing is
providing freedom for the Americans,”
Dunbar said. “I think this show was a
success, thanks to the incredible
cooperation between the Korean and
American Yongsan Community
members.”
Chris Cagle also performed at
Daegu, Dongducheon and Pyeongtaek
throughout the first week of July.

Leaders for 21st Century’ briefing
USAG-Yongsan Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON — The Department of the
Army G-3 will present a briefing July 20 for civilian
employees and their military supervisors on “Civilian
Leaders for the 21st Century.”
“The briefing is really focused on educating Department
of the Army civilians and their military supervisors on the
future,” said U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan Human
Resources Director Steven Carpenter. “I encourage civilian
employees who are interested in professional development
to attend.”
As part of the Army’s Civilian Leader Development
Program, the briefing will cover civilian employee training,
education and career experiences that promise to develop
“adaptive” leaders, Carpenter said.
“This briefing is going to touch on leadership during times
of change and uncertainty,” he said.
More than ever before, the Army of the 21st Century
will rely on top quality civilians in professional, technical
and leadership positions to provide a continuity of operations
and expertise essential to national defense, according to
the Army Civilian Personnel Online Web site.
“Developing future leaders in the face of decreasing
resources and a smaller force means taking advantage of
every developmental opportunity,” Carpenter said.
The CPOL Web site states that, “A trained and ready
Army will always require leaders who are professionals in
every way -- leaders who exemplify traditional Army values
and professional ethics.”
“These are just some of the topics this briefing will cover,”
Carpenter said.
The briefing is available at 9-11 a.m. or 1-3 p.m. July 20
at Balboni Theater.

YONGSAN GARRISON — Famous pop

idols flew all the way from the United States to
make about 800 Yongsan fans go wild July 7 at
the Main Post Club parking lot.
“Twin pop artists” Nina Sky and “Queen of
Reggaeton” Adassa performed at Yongsan
Garrison, one of the stops of a week-long Korea
tour. The opening band, “Second Nature” also
warmed up the crowds to move to the music.
Adassa began her rhythmical Latin-dance
songs promptly at 8 p.m., and made the crowd go
wild with her performance.
“The Soldiers are serving our country for a big
purpose, something that takes a lot of guts and
dedication,” said Adassa. “So, being able to say
thank you even in the least possible way and if
my talent can help say that, then I definitely want
to come and show my appreciation.”
Dancing with the fans, Adassa connected with
the crowd and made them feel as if they were
right at home.
“We’re happy to be here in Korea and honored
to perform for you,” said Nina Sky member
Natalie Albino before singing the first song. “We
love you guys and we hope you enjoy this.”
Natalie and Nicole Albino, identical twins, took
the stage and shook the packed parking lot with CPL. KIM SANG-WOOK

Soldiers required to provide care for Family Members
Family
By 1st Holly B. Nostrant
USAG Humphreys Legal Center
Did you know that Soldiers are required to
support separated family members? If a court order
or written agreement does not exist, Army
Regulation (AR) 608-99 calculates a Soldier’s
obligation based on BAH RC/T married full rates.
AR 608-99 not only applies to those who are
separated and in the process of getting a divorce,
but also to soldiers who are geographically separated
from their families. Since most soldiers are stationed
in Korea without their family members, both soldiers
and commanders must be aware of AR 608-99.
Information for Soldiers
Q: Why should I care about AR 608-99?
A: Soldiers who violate AR 608-99 may be
punished under the UCMJ or subject to other
adverse action. Punishment can occur even if your
family members have not complained or your
commander has not counseled you.
Q: What if a court orders me to pay financial
support?
A: AR 608-99 requires Soldiers to follow all
court orders. If you fail to obey a court order, your
commander may issue a lawful order to comply.
Q: What if I have a written support agreement?
A: AR 608-99 requires you to pay the amount
stated in the agreement. If the agreement does not
state an amount, you must pay an amount based
on the appropriate BAH RC/T rate.
Q: What happens if I do not pay on time?
A: If you fall behind on payments, you are in
violation of AR 608-99.
Q: Do I have to pay if I do not receive BAH?
What if my spouse committed adultery?
A: AR 608-99 provides no exceptions. You are
required to support your family members even if you
do not receive BAH or your spouse has committed
adultery.
Q: If I pay more than required, do I get credit?
A: No. AR 608-99 only discusses the minimum
amount that you are required to pay.
Q: How do I have to send payments to my
family?
A: If you have a court order or written agreement,
you must follow what it requires. Otherwise, the
following methods are all acceptable: cash, check,
money order, electronic funds transfer, voluntary
allotment, involuntary allotment and garnishment.
Keep a record of all payments.
Q: Is providing money my only option?
A: No. You can also meet AR 608-99
requirements by paying non-government housing
expenses that you are legally responsible for (i.e.
your name is on the bill). This includes rent,
mortgage, and essential utilities such as gas, water,
and electricity.
Q: What if my family lives in government
housing?
A: If your family lives in government housing,
AR 608-99 does not require you to send financial
support to them. However, if other family members
do not live there, you must support them.
Q: What if my spouse and I are both on active
duty?
A: If you have no children, there is no obligation
to support your active duty spouse under AR 608-
99. If you have children, the non-custodial parent
must pay the custodial parent an amount equal to
BAH RC/T Differential.
July 13, 2007
http://ima.korea.army.mil 13
Q: What if I have more than one set of family
members? For example, I am married and I have
children from a previous relationship that live with
the other parent.
A: Any family members covered by a court
order or written agreement must be paid the amount
specified. All others must be paid a pro-rata share
of your BAH RC/T Married Full rate. Each share
is based upon the total number of family members.
Information for Commanders
Q: When do I have to get involved?
A: You must get involved whenever a family
member makes a complaint. A family member may
contact you by any means, including by phone, letter,
fax and email.
Q: What should I do if a family member contacts
me?
A: You must start a commander’s inquiry. Not
only are you expected to personally review the
case, but you are required to send a written reply
to the family member.
Q: What should I do in a commander’s inquiry?
A: You should look at the facts to determine
whether a violation exists. Let the soldier know
what is happening.
Q: What if my soldier has fallen behind on his
or her payments?
A: You can encourage, but not order, the soldier
to pay arrearages under AR 608-99.

Morning Calm Weekly Newspaper for more

Discover a summer of fun
Commentary by David McNally
USAG-Yongsan Public Affairs
YONGIN — One way to beat the
summer heat is by visiting one of
Korea’s premiere amusement parks.
Everland Amusement Park offers
the daily “Summer Splash Parade”
ending with a spectacular water show.
But just a warning, if you’re sitting
in the bleachers, make sure you have
an umbrella or raincoat. You will get
drenched. The characters in the
parade carry squirt guns, but many
spectators join the fun with their own
water weapons. It all makes for a wet
and fun-filled experience.
The parade is just one attraction at
the park. Visitors will find roller
coasters, plume rides, a giant Ferris
wheel and rides for all levels of the
fearless and not so fearless.
Everland is only 27 miles south of
Seoul, but the trip down Highway 1
often takes an hour or more. The
weekend traffic is the most
challenging. Sometimes you might
think everyone on the road is headed
to Everland. But battling the traffic
and crowds is apparently worth it if

snacks to feed to the monkeys. The

spot is to watch the sea lions swim next

35th ADA gets new commander

By Pfc. Gretchen Goodrich
35th Air Defense Artillery Public Affairs

OSAN AIR BASE -The 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade held a change
of command ceremony in the Black Cat hangar at Osan Air Base July 3.
Col. James H. Dickinson succeeds Col. John G. Rossi, who leaves after two
years as the 35th ADA Brigade commander for a position as the chief of staff
at Fort Bliss, Texas.
“There is no better job in the world then to lead, train and care for our
Soldiers,” said Dickinson. “I recognize this and fully accept the responsibility
and challenges.”
Challenges for Dickinson may surface, as with Rossi during his reign as
commander. From rotating battalions to various exercises, the brigade has
undergone major changes over the past months.
“We’ve pushed ourselves pretty hard,” said Rossi.
“A tough mission requires tougher training and the toughest soldiers.”
From fixing trucks in the rain, to completing training in extreme heat, even to
visiting orphanages, the soldiers of the brigade have been trained to be tough
and well-rounded.
Soldiers under the 35th ADA Brigade provide air defense protection for
South Korea by destroying ballistic missiles through the use of the Patriot Missile
System.
The Soldiers are responsible for performing one of the most important,
complicated and strategic missions in theater, said Dickinson.
“The soldiers today are able to perform their mission because of the efforts
and leadership of Col. Rossi,” said Dickinson. “My strategy is simply to build
upon John’s great work.”
Having worked as a platoon leader in the 35th ADA BDE years ago, Dickinson
already has his foot in the door.
“I stood at the port of Pusan, preparing my soldiers and equipment for Team
Spirit,” said Dickinson.
Dickinson served as the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion, 7th ADA
that recently moved here from Fort Bliss, Texas. Not only is Dickinson back in PFC. GRETCHEN GOODRICH

Soldiers remember warriors before us

By Spc. Natalie E. Kapteyn
501st SBDE Public Affairs

CAMP CARROLL - Hiking up the surrounding

hills outside post gates may give a Soldier an idea of
the terrain and weather a Korean War Veteran
endured.
Thirty Soldiers from the 6th Ordnance Battalion
experienced this while climbing up Hill 303 behind
Camp Carroll for their 5th Annual Hill 303 Memorial
Ceremony, June 29.
“It is really hard to get up the hill but it’s worth it
as a reminder of the 41 Soldiers who died here.”
said Spc. Darnell W. Gibson, unit supply specialist,
6th OD BN.
“Forty-one Soldiers were taken captive and then
killed here by the North Korean Army, and we
organize this event annually to honor those Soldiers,”
said Capt. Benjamin J. Steichen, commander, 84th
Ordnance Company, and organizer of this year’s
ceremony.
“It’s important to remember those who fought for
our freedom and to honor them,” said Sgt. Sangerine
S. Jarrett, personal administration sergeant, 6th OD
BN. “Even though it took me four hours to climb up
to be here,” she added with a laugh.
The Soldiers were joined by members of the
Korean Veterans Association who interact with the SPC. NATALIE E. KAPTEYN

The ceremony began with a welcome and
introduction by Lt. Col. Eric D. Maratta, commander,
6th OD BN.

DAEGU - Soldiers and students
gathered around for the closing dinner
of the 7th Korean American
Friendship Circle at the GS Plaza
Hotel July 2.
KAFC is an organization whose
purpose is to bring Koreans and
Americans to share and experience
each others culture and lifestyle.
“I feel great about giving all
participants an opportunity for a brand
new experience, and expect students
to have a new way of thinking after
the circle,” said Kim In-nam, president
of KAFC. “I hope the students
understand the importance of the
alliance between Korea and United
States, and look forward to the
experienced students helping national
interest by cultural exchange.”
Participants include Soldiers, their
Family Members and university
students from the Daegu area seemed
to have a good experience during the
circle--which is not easy to have
without the friendship.
“KAFC kicks off twice a year, it
starts every semester based on s
theKorean school schedule.The 7th
KAFC started in March. A long journey
has ended July 2,” said Maj. Gary
Bantad, 19th Sustainment Command

“It has been a wonderful experience
for me,” said Lee Song-min, participant
of the KAFC, also intern of 19th ESC.
“It’s really hard to get invited to a
foreigner’s house in Korea. Rather
than eat in a restaurant, we preferred
to cook, and have meal by ourselves at
home. Although we did not meet many
times, but still we had much of fun when
were meeting.”
Participants including the students
and American sponsors seemed to have
good experience during the event,
which is not easy to have without the
friendship circle.
