Firefighters with United States Army Garrison-Daegu Department of Emergency Services chop their way through a roof during training on Camp Walker. U.S. Army photo by Jeong, Hyuk Soo wall does not collapse, not an easy task. Pulling a ceiling down is another skill that if not done right can spell disaster. This would not be bad if it was only lightweight tiles, but it rarely is. Light fixtures, insulation, ductwork, and anything else up there, can crash down in the blink of an eye, injuring a firefighter, he added. Pointing out other opportunities the training afforded, Allen said, The crews also practiced putting holes in the roof. We call it ventilation. This is a skill that is needed fast on any working fire, so firefighters can get into a building and rescue victims. Without ventilation the building holds in fire, heat and smoke. Firefighters do love to train, and this sort of training is very valuable to us, Allen added. However, we firefighters ask you to prevent fires from starting, so we do not have to come to your home or office. Fires cost a lot of money and lives are forever changed or destroyed. x

Area I Drunk and Disorderly conduct, communicating a threat; assault on Military Police, disrespect to an NCO. While in an off-post establishment, the subjects left elbow brushed against an unknown person due to the heavily crowded area. The unknown person became visibly agitated, at which time witness No. 1 instructed him to walk out of the club in order to diffuse the situation. As witness No. 1 was escorting the unknown person out of the club, the subject blocked the exit. Witness No. 1 and witness No. 2 instructed the subject to clear the exit multiple times but he did not comply. Witness No. 1 advised the subject that if he did not comply with MPs instruction, he would be arrested. The subject became belligerent, shouting obscene words and making inappropriate statements directed at the Military Police. Witness No. 1 and MP No. 1 secured the subjects arms and positioned him against a wall. The subject resisted apprehension and continued shouted words. While conducting a search of the subject, he kicked MP No. 2 in the chest with his left foot and threatened him again. The subject was transported to the Provost Marshals Office, where he was given an blood alcohol test, with a result of 0.179 percent. The subject was released to his unit with instructions to report to the PMO at a later time. At that time, the subject was advised of his legal rights, which he invoked. Area II Curfew violation, failure to identify. The subject refused to surrender his military identification card to Korean National Police, stating he was a school teacher and a shop owner of an off-post establishment. The subject was unable to produce any documentation of this and was apprehended and transported to the Yongsan KNP Station where a search revealed an active duty military ID card. The subject was transported to the PMO where he was advised of his legal rights, which he invoked. Area III Assaulted consummated by battery. The subject and victim were involved in a verbal altercation which turned physical when the subject struck the victim in the face. The subject was apprehended and transported to the PMO. He was given a blood alcohol test, with a result of 0.173 percent. The subject was administered a DD Form 1920 and was not advised of his legal right due to his level of intoxication.
This image is taken from the first level of the four-level Noksapyung Subway Station right outside of Yongsan Garrisons gate 4. The station is cylindrical in shape and demonstrates the vast amount of underground construction necessary to build the structure. A large dome, which is only a fraction of the building, can be seen from above ground just as if it were an iceberg. The subway cars and rails are found at the lowest level, but there is much more to this station than its promise of transportation. There are multiple shops, creative seasonal decorations and a scaled-down model of the station itself. Noksapyung isnt the only subway station in Korea built with creativity.

At Camp Caseys Community Activity Center Jan. 4, 11 foreign-born members of the U.S. military community were sworn in as naturalized citizens of the United States. Of the 11, eight were U.S. Soldiers, the others wives of Soldiers. It was the first naturalization ceremony ever held in Area I. At left, administering the Oath of Allegiance, is Walter L. Haith, field office director with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in Seoul. U.S. Army photo by Pfc. Lee Jae-gwang
Pfc. Phannamat Shunnak of Thailand was one of 11 from the Area I community who became naturalized U.S. citizens Jan 4 at Camp Casey. U.S. Army photo by Pfc. Lee Jae-gwang to contribute to the good of our nation, and the world. Among the new citizens was Pfc. Phannamat Shunnak, 26, a truck driver assigned to Company G, 115th Field Artillery, at Camp Hovey. Her mother works at a shopette at Fort Hood, Texas, she said, and had already been there about ten years when in 2007 Shunnak joined her mother there. Actually, my mom, she wants me to become citizen, thats the main reason, Shunnak said after the ceremony. First of all, I got U.S. passport and I
dont need to hold Green Card or be worried Im going to lose it, because thats very important, she said. So now I have just passport Im good to go. Asked what she understood was the point made during the ceremony about citizenship carrying certain responsibilities, she said I think that means, now we become American, so thats mean that we have to serve this country and protect against all the enemies this country. Another of the new citizens was Zhanna Spelling, 25, born in Vladivostok. Her fathers Russian, her mother from Kazakhstan. Shes married to Sgt. Adrian Spelling, 22, a radar operator at Camp Hovey with Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 1st Battalion, 15th Field Artillery. Becoming a citizen, she said, only makes sense because I plan to live in the States with my husband for the rest of my life and I really like American. Its a good country. Its a big accomplishment, said her husband. To begin with, its a long process, so its a great fulfillment to finally have that done. Also, he said, it gives her the ability to get a job as a U.S. citizen and things like that.And now that she has that, no matter where we go, she has the same opportunities as everybody else and thats a good feeling to have, that she can go out and do her own thing and she doesnt need me to survive. x

YANGJU Every Thursday night after closing formation at Camp Red Cloud, Pfc. Jeon Chul-yeon and Pfc. Lee Jae-keun change into civilian clothes, grab dinner at the chow hall, then take an on-post taxi to Yangju, a city about 15 minutes away. There, at the Ganab Elementary School, they spend an hour with a handful of third- and fifth-graders, partly to teach them simple English and partly to just exert a friendly good influence as mentors. Both Jeon and Lee are KATUSA soldiers, South Korean troops assigned
interested. The kids tend to see the KATUSAs differently than their regular teachers, said third-grade teacher Kim Jin-ha. They could approach students like brothers and this fact made the kids feel much more comfortable, Kim said. The kids especially enjoy the games and hanging out with the KATUSAS. And they were crazy about the visit they made last November to Camp Red Cloud as guests of its Republic of Korea Army Staff Office. We went to the food court and we had pizza, which was really, really good, said Jung Seo-young, an 11-yearold fifth-grader. I loved it, she said. x

while Patsel answered Indonesia. When neither student correctly guessed Mali as the country where Timbuktu is, Battle had won the bee. Patsel displayed exemplary sportsmanship by immediately shaking Battles hand and accentuating it with a chest bump. Battle said mandatory study sessions at home helped him win. My mom made me study all day, he said. There was no Xbox or 360. Im kind of glad she made me. I really didnt think I was going to win. There are a lot of smart kids here. Patsel said maternal influence impacted him as well. Every single day, I would be on nationalgeographic.com and my mom made me study an atlas. Other participants were Savannah Hoagland, Prescott Farris, Sante Devera-Waden, Lenningrad Generoso, Sydney Munoz, Naya Johnson, Aerial Rouse, and Hunter Herring. x

More gratitude and positivity for the WONDERFUL things we have here at Camp Humphreys! We have so many great programs, sporting events, and people here! So many people get caught up in negativity of living so far away from the States that the many positive aspects are overshadowed. Hoping to see more positivity!

ried filing separately for a variety of reasons. However, if you do file married filing separately you will be taxed at a higher rate, which means you will pay more in taxes then if you filed jointly. And, the difference can be quite high. There are also restrictions on your adjustments, credits, and deductions. In order to be eligible for the head of household status you must be unmarried or considered unmarried for tax purposes, have paid for more than half the costs to keep a home, and have a qualifying person living with you. A qualifying person must be a relative and meet certain requirements. It is a more favorable filing status than single or married filing separately, but if you dont meet any one of the three prongs, you cannot choose this filing status. Next, determine your number of dependents. For each dependent you get a $3,700 exemption. You also get a personal exemption for yourself and your spouse of $3,700 each. In order to claim the dependent exemptions, the person must be a qualifying child or a qualifying relative. A qualifying child is determined based on age, relationship, residency, support, and child filing status. The child must be under 19 years old, or 24 years old if a full-time student at the end of the year. The qualifying relative is for a person that does not meet the qualifying child test, but is still dependent on you. This can include parents as well as inlaws. It does not have to be a relative so long as that person lived with you all year. The support requirement is basically the same and there are no age limitations. Under this category though, the dependent must have gross income less than $3,700. x

The program seeks to educate eligible voters about the importance of voting and provide every opportunity to register. 2012 is a crucial year for the Nation as a whole, especially in our military community. Exercise your right as a Soldier and vote, said Lt. Col. Rajesh Lobrecht, 19th Expeditionary Sustainment Command Deputy G-1, Voting Assistance Officer. January is an important month for military and overseas voters because it marks the beginning of a new year and due to recent changes to federal and state laws, USFK service members are now encouraged to complete registration every year. I have always voted in the past, but this is the first time I will cast an absentee ballot, said Spc. Tabatha
