Hello USAG Red Cloud and Area I

Community Members.

Can you believe it? We're already

hitting the Christmas and New Years Eve

Season!!!

Its a great time of the year to spend

with family and celebrate together;

unfortunately, its not the case with many

of our unaccompanied Military and Civilian

members here at Area I. As much as it is a glorious time of the

year, it can also be a very diffi cult time of the year for many

spending it alone, and for many, spending it alone for the fi rst

time. The Army is a big family and we look out for each other

during this time of the year. Please be extra vigilant and watch for

lonely and/or depressed symptoms from our Battle Buddies. Reach

out to them, invite them to your home, get them involved with

FMWR events, or our ACS support team. More importantly, be

there for them and remind them that we/you are their extended

family away from family at home!!!

With that said, FMWR has a lot in store for you during the

month of December SO PLEASE peruse the Zone and get the

latest and greatest with Whats Happening in Area I! Lots of

Christmas Specials and of course our New Years kick it into 2014

celebrations!!

I wish you a very Merry Christmas and an Awesome New Year

2014 see you out and about and dont forget the Christmas

Tree Lighting Ceremonies on the following days Camp Stanley

December 2nd, Camp Casey December 3rd and Camp Red Cloud

on December 16th. The Zone has the full details for you!

The USAG-RC and Area 1 Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (FMWR) Department invites

the community to a Christmas Dinner with Santa and free Christmas presents on December 24, 2013 at

Camp Red Cloud Mitchells Club. This event marks a timeless tradition for Soldiers and Civilian families

and friends, including Korean employees and their families, to share a night of holiday music and a

sumptuous dinner buffet commemorating this Christmas season.

Its hard, especially for Soldiers who are away from their families for the fi rst time. But we at Family

and MWR want them to know that were here for them, says Mitchells Club Manager Mark Onstad.

Were reaching out to leaders to pass the word, letting Soldiers know they dont have to be alone

in their barracks or their apartments this Christmas Eve and encouraging them to join their extended

family for this special Christmas event at Mitchells Club, Onstad says.

As an added Christmas treat, everyone, adults and children, will receive a very special Christmas

present, wrapped with tender loving care and presented by Santa himself, courtesy of the USAG Red

Cloud/Area l FMWR Department.

We want to do something special for Soldiers, Katusas, U.S. and Korean civilian employees and their

family members, so in addition to Santa and the awesome presents hell be giving away, the chef and I

are working a little kitchen magic for Christmas dinner. This will truly be a Christmas Eve to remember

for everyone who attends," Onstad says.

And what a dinner it will be, complete with roast turkey, smoked ham, BBQ Ribs, bread dressing,

mashed potatoes with gravy, rice, sweet yams, green bean casserole, buttered corn, salad bar, seasonal

breads & rolls, eggnog, and a variety of pies and desserts to satisfy anyones sweet tooth.

For most people Christmas is normally a joyous occasion, but for those spending it far away from

home it can be a lonely, stressful time. Why not enjoy Christmas Eve with friends at Mitchells and take

advantage of this very special treat consisting of good food, live holiday music, a free Christmas present

and framed photo with Santa with your dinner buffet purchase. See you there.

DMZ Tour Guidelines

- When viewing the Conference Room, do not touch any equipment belonging to North Korea.

- Do not speak with, make any gesture toward, approach or respond to personnel from the other side.

- Military or other offi cial considerations may prevent entry into the JSA.

- Casual clothes, such as ripped jeans, sleeveless shirts, miniskirts, short pants, military clothes, and sandal/slippers are not permitted during the tour.

- Shaggy or unkempt hair is not allowed.

- Children under 10 years of age are not allowed.

The Joint Security Area (JSA)The JSA resembles a square measuring about 800

meters across. After the Armistice Agreement was

signed, the JSA became a neutral location where

guards from both sides were allowed to move about

freely. It was the only place in the Demilitarized Zone

(DMZ) where the Military Demarcation Line (MDL)

was originally not clearly marked.

That changed after North Korean guards murdered

two United Nations Command (UNC) offi cers with

axes on August 18, 1976. After the Ax Murder

Incident, the MDL was marked within the JSA, and

that marking system continues until today.

The only place where border crossings are allowed

is inside the conference buildings of the Military

Armistice Commission (MAC). The MDL in the JSA is

marked with one hundred and twenty six one-meter

high white stakes at 10 meter intervals. Throughout

the rest of the DMZ, the boundary is marked with

MDL markers. Each side owns six guard posts in the

JSA and no more than thirty fi ve armed guards can

be present on each side.

The JSA is a venue for exchanges and negotiations

between the North and South. A variety of political

and economic issues, cultural conferences and Red

Cross meetings are held in the JSA.

Observation Post (OP) DoraAs the northernmost observatory in South Korea,

OP Dora is located within the DMZ and provides the

closest view of North Korea. Propaganda Village

and Farmland of North Korea lay in view just ahead

as do some areas of Gaeseong. The Gaeseong

Industrial Complex and a bronze statue of Kim Il

Sung can be seen through a telescope.

DMZ Third Tunnel The Third Tunnel was discovered 52 km away from

Seoul in the administrative district of Paju in 1978.

It is 1,635 meters in length, 2 meters in width and 2

meters in height. The tunnels size would allow an

army of thirty thousand fully-armed North Korean

Soldiers to pass through within an hour.

The Third Tunnel is the largest one discovered so

far, indicating North Koreas desire to invade Seoul

during that time.

Cath is more than a little anxious about starting

college. Its hard living apart from her twin sister,

Wren, for the fi rst time ever, and even harder

when Wren seems so excited about it. Everyone

around Cath seems to be confi dent and capable,

from her intimidating roommate to all the fellow

English majors whose cool sophistication she feels

hard-pressed to emulate.

So Cath retreats to the safe haven of her

imagination. Shes an ardent devotee of the Simon

Snow book and movie series (a thinly veiled riff

on Harry Potter), and over the past few years her

fanfi ction set in that world has amassed an avid

BooKS RecommendedReadingfollowing of its own. But as school assignments

and outside stresses begin to crowd her time,

even that beloved escape begins to feel like yet

another hungry subject demanding constant

attention.

Meanwhile, academic setbacks are making her

question if shes on the right track. She worries

about Wren, whose drinking binges are reaching

a troubling frequency. She worries about her dad,

whose bipolar tendencies she fears will take over

now that hes on his own. And she worries about

Levi, her roommates boyfriend, whose reassuring

friendliness and heart-twisting smile is becoming

more precious to her than she can admit.

Cath is a great character, just as introverted,

awkward and nerdy as she is intelligent and witty,

more used to navigating imagined worlds than

actual ones. Refreshingly, these traits are not

derided and suppressed, but refi ned and even

celebrated over the course of this coming-of-age

tale. Yes, Cath will come to realize that real life

can hold its own magic but, reassuringly, she

doesnt gain this at the expense of her imaginary

adventures, but rather by learning to fi nd the

right balance of both.

GUARD YOUR IDENTITY

We know we should be aware of identity theft,

but not all of us take steps to be safe. So says a

news release put out by Experian, one of the big

three credit-reporting agencies.

A survey done by Experian showed that:

Most of us (93 percent) know that identity

theft is a big problem. A smaller number (61

percent) know it would not be hard for someone

to steal their identity, and 67 percent are

concerned it might happen to them.

While the vast majority do secure their digital

information, 55 percent dont always check to

see if a website is secure when shopping online.

(Look for the https in the sites address.) Worse, 63

percent dont have a separate password for each

online account. Translation: We know what we

should be doing to stay protected online, but we

dont always do it.

When we shop online, 57 percent of us

dont always type in the name of the site

were going to. Instead we click on links,

opening us to the risk that were going to

a fraudulent site that only looks like our

destination site a site thats designed to

take our personal information.

Computers and going online arent

our only downfalls. Nearly half of

us never use a password to lock our

smartphone or tablet. Identity thieves

can use the information they fi nd in a

stolen phone or tablet, as well as run

up bills on our accounts.

Only one in three of us stays

secure on social-networking sites

such as Twitter and Facebook,

willingly giving too much

information online: date of birth,

email address or educational

background. Identity thieves can use that

information.

The big item our Social Security number

isnt guarded at all times. We willingly put it on

medical forms (where do those forms end up?) or

job applications (they dont need it unless youre

hired), and we even carry the card in our wallet

where it can be stolen and sold.

During the holidays its especially important

to safeguard personal information. Thieves will

be on the lookout for distracted shoppers who

arent vigilant about walking with an open purse,

stumble onto fraudulent websites for online

shopping or use unsecured mobile phones to

shop.

BUDGETING FOR THE HOLIDAYS

It's the time of year for gift giving, entertaining, holiday parties, and for manyoverspending and

nancial stress. This year, enjoy the season without letting holiday spending get the better of you; the tips

and tools below will help. Setting a realistic holiday budget and making sure to stick to it is the rst step

to enjoying a more affordable and less stressful season. Here are a few ways to handle gift giving and

celebrations without breaking the bank:

1. Set Your BudgetThe best place to start making a holiday budget is to look at your spending during last year's holiday

season. In what areas did you spend more than planned? Next, make a list of the holiday purchases

and events you plan to spend money on this year. Consider all of your major spending categories: gifts,

entertaining, meals, and travelthen estimate how much you can afford to spend in each category. Knowing

your spending goals long beforehand will help you stay on track fi nancially as the season heats up. You

can access your Holiday Budget Calculator at: http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/calculators/calculate/

yourHolidayBudget.php?calcCategory=budget

2. Get CreativeOne great way to save money and wow friends and families is

to get creative. Store-bought gifts are great, but homemade

gifts are often more meaningful and most recipients truly

appreciate your time and effort. Ideas for creative gift

projects are plentiful online such as this one: http://

www.practicalmoneyskills.com/personalfi nance/

savingspending/budgeting/%20http:/www.

tipjunkie.com/category/homemade-gifts/

If you like the idea of a personal touch and

affordability but don't have the time or skill to

make gifts yourself, the ultimate marketplace for

homemade gifts is at: http://www.etsy.com where

you can fi nd crafty items from over 200,000

sellers.


3. Join TogetherInstead of excessively spending on each other this year, join together

with family members to help those who may be less fortunate. Online

opportunities are easy to find, and there are several in the article

Helping Others When Money Is Tight at: http://www.practicalmoneyskills.

com/personalfinance/experts/practicalmoneymatters/columns/

contributions_112108.php Other opportunities for online giving can be

found at Oxfam International on: http://www.oxfam.org/ or ACCION at:

http://www.accion.org

4. Travel WiselyIf you plan on traveling, take some time to determine how much it will

cost you with a Holiday Travel Planner at: http://www.practicalmoneyskills.

com/calculators/calculate/travelBudgeting.php?calcCategory=family

and don't forget these holiday travel planning tips at: http://www.

practicalmoneyskills.com/calculators/calculate/travelTips.html

5. Entertain for LessHolidays are a wonderful time to entertain, but a little planning and

budgeting can help you avoid financial headaches. Consider using a Holiday

Entertainment Planner such as this: http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/

calculators/calculate/entertainmentPlanner.php?calcCategory=family to

help you ensure a fun event that won't tax you financially. Also check out

these Holiday Entertainment Tips at: http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/

budget in shape.

47IN THE ZONE

Adjusting to life in Korea can be a daunting experience for many newcomers, but luckily for them the

U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area l Army Community Service (ACS) offi ce at Camp Casey has a special

program available designed to help with the transition process.

Shortly after arriving in country, newcomers, Soldiers, Family members, civilian personnel and their

families soon realize the many differences between living in South Korea and the U.S., not the least of

which are the language barrier, driving conditions, variety of food and other cultural differences that make

living here interesting and in most cases fun.

But despite these major differences, everyone, whether visiting Korea for the fi rst time or returning for

another tour, can still enjoy their time in Korea and, more specifi cally, their time in the Area l community.

And thats where the ACS Community Newcomers Orientation, offered on the 3rd Monday of every

month at the Camp Casey ACS, can help. The orientation is open to all USFK I.D. card-holders, including

family members and active duty personnel.

The class involves a number of representatives from various departments and organizations within the

Area l community, including subject matter experts from Camp Casey, Camp Red Cloud, and Camp Stanley,

each giving attendees the latest information about their respective activity or program along with tips and

timely advice to help make the transition to Area l easier and more comfortable. Returning members also

benefi t from the class with new, updated information regarding changes in policies, programs or facilities

since their last assignment in country.

Things You Need To Know

ACS Newcomers Orientation Brief Has the Answers


The day long class begins at 8:30 a.m. with welcoming

remarks from either the Casey Garrison Commander or his

appointed representative, who explain the big picture

that encompasses Area l, including the many various

tenant commands and units that call Area l home.

The Newcomers Orientation is designed to give

newcomers, and anyone returning to Korea for a

second or third tour, the latest, most up-to-date

information about what they can expect during

their tour here, says orientation coordinator Mark

Hagelin, ACS Information Referral and Follow-up

Program Manager.

The class is open to everyone and most folks leave

here with a much better understanding of what they

can expect during their time here. We get compliments

all the time from people who complete the class, telling

us how much they learned in such a short time. Its important

information that they can use on a daily basis. Much of the

Mark Hagelin

49IN THE ZonE

information they receive here they cant

get anywhere else, so this class is a

great benefi t to military and civilians

alike, Hagelin says.

A number of subject matter

representatives, including those from

the Legal Offi ce, Non-combatant

Evacuation Operation (NEO), Troop

Medical Clinic, TRICARE, Army

Substance Abuse Program (ASAP),

American Red Cross, Legal Offi ce

and a host of other key partners that

comprise the Area l community present

their programs and answer questions from

attendees.

Its not unusual to hear someone who

attended the briefi ng say later that they thought

they already knew most of the information, only to

discover during the class that they either had it wrong

or didnt know the information in the fi rst place. This is

especially true with attendees who have been here for several

months and thought they knew everything there is to know about Area

l, Hagelin stated.

Military spouses in particular are always impressed with the orientation because they get accurate

and timely information fi rst-hand and can ask questions from the subject matter experts. They really

appreciate that, he says.

Following the classroom portion of the orientation attendees participate in a four-hour tour of the

area that focuses on how to get around in the off-base community using public transportation. The tour

includes a short walk to the Bosan Subway Station near the Camp Casey Main Gate where attendees

are given hands on training on the use of the automated ticket machines and a brief orientation of the

subway system in general.

Once everyone is familiar with the basics, they board the subway bound for Uijeongbu Station

(transportation paid by ACS), the hub for local shopping and dining in Area l, where they visit the

popular Shinsaegae Department complex and underground shopping area before having lunch

(attendees pay for their meal) at any one of the many local restaurants available.

This part of the orientation is especially popular with attendees. Most of them have never used public

transportation here because it can be confusing if youve never tried it before. Once they see how easy

and effi cient it is to get around in Korea, they feel much more comfortable using the system, Hagelin

states.

The Newcomers Orientation class is available once a month and Hagelin says everyone is welcome to

sign up, no matter if youre new to Korea or if youve been here before.

Theres always something new and interesting to be gained from attending the class, he says.

Kaitlyn West

Newcomer to Korea and new Army

wife Kaitlyn West, who hails from

Florida, attended a recent Newcomers

Orientation Brief and had this to say

about her experience:

ITZ: Where were you stationed before arriving in Korea?

West: This is my fi rst time being a military spouse. I recently got married and my husband is in school right now.

ITZ: Are you command sponsored?

West: No.

ITZ: How did you hear about the Newcomers Orientation Brief?

West: I heard about it on Facebook and Ive been to the ACS Offi ce once before and saw the notice about it.

ITZ: So you decided to just show up and see what its all about?

West: Yeah. With me being new to the Army in general, I fi gured it would be good information to know.

ITZ: Was there anything in the class that you already knew?

West: I went through the NEO process before and thought I was familiar with that a little bit, but now I know much more about it. I had heard about some of the other programs, but not in such detail. I also was happy to hear about the volunteering program too.

ITZ: Being a new spouse and new to Korea and the Army, what were your major concerns about coming to Korea?

West: The language barrier, for one. I really didnt know what to expect. The time difference was an issue until I got the hang of it. I kept calling family members back in the States and waking them up in the middle of the night. Once I accidently sent a text message at the wrong time.

ITZ: What is the most diffi cult part of living here versus the States?

West: Knowing where to go for different things. The food too. Not knowing what things are. Im generally not a picky eater, but at least I would like to know what Im eating.

ITZ: Anything else you would like to mention about your time in Korea?

West: Yes. I defi nitely enjoy being here. Its very interesting. Some people I know complain there is nothing to do here, but I think there is. Its really interesting and Im happy to be here.
