YONGSAN Servicemembers in Korea willsoon join the ranks of other Department of Defensepersonnel who are already are using the DefenseTravel System, a new government system being
used to file travel vouchers.Finance officials at Yongsan Army Garrison and
Camp Casey are fielding the system, said JudyKintner, program management office. DTS beganfielding in 2001 at 27 pilot locations after beingenvisioned in the mid-1990s.
Travelers log on to the DTS Web site using theircommon access card to file travel vouchers.
Some of the benefits DTS brings travelers arefast, electronic reimbursement of travel expenses,a reduction in time spent administering travel,reduced paperwork and automated payment ofgovernment travel charge cards.
This program will significantly reduce thenumber of man-hours used to process thepaperwork involved in a TDY, Kintner said.
Kintner added the amount of money currentlyspent processing TDY vouchers will also bereduced.
It costs $37 to have the Defense FinanceAccounting System process each voucher, Kintnersaid. That is going to go up to $53 next year. WithDTS, it will cost $2.20.
Finance expects online

WASHINGTON, D.C. Some families in new
privatized housing on Army installations may notice
technicians reading their utility meters beginning this
month.
The meters are being read to determine an averagemonthly consumption rate for electricity, gas and
heating oil, officials said.
Eventually, military families living in privatized housingon post will become responsible for their utilities, said
Don Spigelmyer, director of the Residential Communities
Initiative, which has privatized housing at 16 installations.
The utility billing will probably take place in 2006
after average consumption rates are computed and
Soldiers have had a year of mock bills that reflect
their usage, Spigelmyer said. When actual billing
begins, those families that use less than the average
rate will earn a rebate, he said, and those who usemore will need to pay the difference.
If you conserve, you can save money, said Ivan
Bolden, RCI program manager for policy.Families in the new and renovated privatized housing
at six installations will start receiving mock utilitybills early next year, Bolden said. These mock billswill only help residents track their use of energy, Bolden
explained, and will not involve any payment for thefirst year.
Along with the mock bills, families will also receivemonthly energy tips and training on how to be more
energy efficient.
Under the one-year mock billing program, residents
will have the chance to see how much energy theyre
using and make improvements, if necessary, before
they become responsible for consumption, Bolden
said.Installations participating in the mock billing
program include:
Fort Carson, Colo.Fort Hood, Texas
Fort Meade, Md.
Fort Bragg, N.C.
Fort Stewart, Ga.Fort Campbell, Ky.
Under RCI, a portion of Soldiers Basic Allowance
for Housing is used as payment for utilities. Beginningin 2006, Soldiers in privatized housing who use less
than the average amount of utilities will be rewarded
with rebates or credit.
Those who go over their average will be billed,
Spigelmyer said. If a Soldier and his or her family use
utilities in a conscientious manner, their BAH should
cover all costs, rent and utilities, in privatized housing,
Spigelmyer said.
The Department of Defense established the policyto conserve energy and track usage, said Rhonda
Hayes, deputy director of the Armys RCI program.
In the future, she said all of the military services will
hold residents in privatized housing responsible for
their utility usage.
They felt the only way to bring about conservation

I want you all to know that there are so many greatopportunities and ways to spend your summer. I know youteens think that spending your summer sleeping till all hours
of the day, watching TV, and doing just about nothing wouldbe great. Well, I decided to spend my summer a little
differently and experienced the best summer of my life.This summer I served as a lifeguard at Osan Air Base. I
worked six days aweek for about six
hours a day. Being alifeguard keeps youphysically in shape,
and greatly improvesyour swimming skills.And one of the fun benefits of being a lifeguard is getting a
tan!There is one day in particular I will never forget: the day I
saved a boys life. It was Sunday and the sun was high in the
sky. I had just climbed onto the stand and blew my whistle,signaling the break had ended. I began scanning the water.
As all the kids excitedly jumped into the pool, I glanced to
the deep end. I watched a boy jump out into the 12-footarea. A second later he began yelling and thrashing aroundwildly.
I stood up just as another boy jumped into the pool and
swam over to the boy yelling. The frightened boy grabbedonto his friend and they both went under.
I immediately blew my whistle three times alerting theother lifeguards there was an emergency. Then, I jumpedinto the water and swam quickly toward the boys.
I grabbed onto the boys and began talking to them inorder to calm them down.
The boy that had jumped in to save his friend told me he
was OK and swam to the side. When I reached the side, my
fellow lifeguards pulled the coughing and still frightened boy
from the pool.
I pulled myself out and stood there a moment trying to
calm my pounding heart. Believe me, my heart has never
pounded so fast in my entire life. That was definitely an
experience I will never forget!When I think about saving that boys life, I know I did
my job well. Everything I learned working this summer has
changed my life for the better.
I encourage all teens who feel like doing nothing during
your summer to consider what I have said. Consider what
you can do to make a difference in your life and the lives of
others.
Life is full of great opportunities to serve others, serve
the community, and to also come away from it with an
experience you will never forget.Watch for the next available lifeguard training course and
also take advantage of the American Red Cross andcardiopulmonary resuscitation training.
Plan today, so you can to do something more with your
summer.

The following entries wereexcerpted from the past several
weeks military police blotters.
These entries may be incomplete
and do not determine the guilt or
innocence of any person.
Military police were notified recently of
an unlawful entry. Investigation disclosed
that a U.S. Soldier damaged the front
security gate of the Class Six store while
trying to forcibly enter after business hours
in order to get his keys. Two workers
returned to the store and found the soldier
in the store; the soldier tried to flee but
was detained by the workers. MPs arrived
and detected alcohol on the soldiersbreath. The soldier failed a series of field
sobriety tests, was transported to the Provost
Marshal Office, where he invoked his rights
and requested a lawyer. The soldier was
released to his unit. He returned to the
PMO after consulting with a lawyer and
rendered a written sworn statement admitting
to the offenses. An investigation continues
by military police investigators.
Military police were notified recently of
an assaul t consummated by ba t te ry ,
disorderly conduct (drunkenness) and failure
to obey an order or regulation (underage
drinking). An investigation disclosed thattwo servicemembers were involved in a
verbal altercation that turned physical when
one Soldier punched the other in the face.
They continued to fight until the fight was
broken up by another Soldier. The two
combatants were then apprehended and
transported to the military police station
where they were administered a series of
field sobriety test, which they failed. They
received a command directed blood alcohol
test, were further processed and released
to their unit. Both soldiers later reported
to the PMO and provided written statements
attesting to the incident. Investigation
continues by military police investigators.
A second later he began
yelling and thrashing
around wildly.
Because it gives the new Soldier
a chance to get know his or herduty station.

RAMADI, Iraq Soldiers who
deployed to Iraq from Korea a month
ago began a sweeping operation in Ar-Ramadi Sept. 30 to deny anti-coalition
forces safe haven, round up suspected
anti-coalition leaders, and find weapons
caches.
This is the third brigade-leveloperation in as many weeks, officials
said, with the goal of increasing the
security environment for the residents
of Ar-Ramadi by keeping enemy forces
on the run.
We will not abandon Iraqi cities and
see them suffer the same fate as
Fallujah, said Warrant Officer
Christopher Wallitsch, targeting officer
for the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 2ndInfantry Division. We are determined
to maintain our foothold in this city and
drive out those who choose to disrupt
peace and stability here.
This operation closely follows
Operation Longhorn, last weeks
operation that officials said was
successful in routing insurgents and
criminal fighters in the city. Thisoperation, named Operation Bulldog,
netted 75 anti-coalition fighters, as well
as scores of ammunition, weapons
systems, maps, and communications
equipment.
This brigade combat team will
remain relentless in its pursuit of fighters

The units fighting on the groundcontinue to work with Iraqi andmultinational forces to bring peace toRamadi, officials said.
We cant do it alone, said Wallitsch.
It will take a consistent, coordinatedeffort between all friendly forces in the
area.
The 2nd Brigade Combat team,
although an Army unit, is assigned tothe 1st Marine Division at Camp BlueDiamond, Iraq, and is augmented witha Marine infantry battalion.
The 2nd BCT deployed from the
Republic of Korea in August to replace
1st Infantry Division, which wasoperating in the Ramadi area for oneyear.
The Army recently announced the2nd BCT will not return to its home
station of Korea after its tour in Iraq isfinished in one year. Instead, the brigade
will be restationed at Fort Carson, Colo.

Department of Defense News Release
YONGSAN Remains believed to be those of
American soldiers missing in action from the Korean War
have been recovered by two teams of United States
specialists and will be repatriated 10 a.m. today to U.S.
control at Yongsan Army Garrisons Knight Field.
The repatriation marks the fifth and final remains
recovery operation in North Korea this year.
Since 1996, 32 joint operations have been conducted
in North Korea, during which remains believed to be those
of more than 200 soldiers have been recovered. Of the88,000 U.S. service members missing in action from all
conflicts, more than 8,100 are from the Korean War.
The remains are to be repatriated overland across the
demilitarized zone, as was done for the first four recovery
operations in 2004.
Specialists from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting
Command comprised the 27-man U.S. element of the
recovery teams. The first team operated near the Chosin
Reservoir where the 1st Marine Division and the Armys
7th Infantry Division fought Chinese forces November-
December 1950. Approximately 1,000 Americans are
missing in action from the Chosin campaign.
The second team recovered remains in Unsan County
about 60 miles north of Pyongyang. This area was the
site of battles between communist forces and the U.S.Armys 1st Cavalry and 25th Infantry divisions in
November 1950.
The remains will be flown to Hickam Air Force Base,
Hawaii, where the forensic identification process will take
place in the JPAC laboratory.
The joint remains recovery work resulted from
negotiations with North Korea led by the Defense POW/
Missing Personnel Office.

and went to an Apache Longbow flight
simulator for a briefing on cockpit
procedures and a preview of the actual
flight to come as the others watched.
The VIPs were then escorted to an
aircraft parking area, where Ahn climbed
into a waiting Apache Longbow whilethe others were briefed at a static display
nearby.
Ahn flew with Chief Warrant Officer
3 Jeff Johnson, 6th Cavalry Brigade
master gunner, on a half-hour mission
in the vicinity of Camp Humphreys.
Following the flight, Ahn said he had
been very impressed by the aircraft.
The AH-64D Apache Longbow, first
fielded in Korea in 2001, is the Armys
heavy division or corps attack
helicopter. It has fire control radar, fire-
and-forget radar-guided Hellfire missiles
and cockpit management and digitization
enhancements that provide increasedlethality and survivability. Manned by a
two-person crew, the AH-64D has a
combat mission speed of 167 mph and
a combat range of 300 miles. The
Longbow also has 2.75-inch rockets
and a 30 mm cannon and a computerized
heads-up display that allows pilots to
actively track and engage as many as
16 active targets at a time and monitor
even more.
Though Ahns familiarization flight
had been planned for some time, it came
one day after the Republic of Korea and
the U.S. announced a phased withdrawal
of 12,500 United States forces over the
next few years. The United States
maintains that the introduction of
technologically superior weapons
systems like the Apache Longbow and
the enhanced Patriot missile already
OfficialOfficialOfficialOfficialOfficial from Page 5fielded here and other advanced systems
more than compensates for the phased
withdrawal of boots-on-the-ground.
According to brigade S-1, Maj.
William Coker, Ahn asked a lot of
questions during his initial briefing at 6th
Cavalry Brigade headquarters.Dr. Ahn asked very detailed
questions, said Coker. He wanted
specific knowledge about how the 6th
Cavalry Brigade offers greater firepower
even though we have sent one AH-64A
Apache squadron back to the states for
Longbow upgrade.
The 1st Squadron, 6th Cavalry cased
its colors at Camp Eagle earlier this year
and shipped its 21 AH-64A Apache
helicopters to the United States to be
upgraded to the Apache Longbow, the
AH-64D.
Coker said the brigade has greater
firepower even without its firstsquadron because of the Longbows
improved battlefield versatility, enhanced
communications, improved drive train
and rotor system, improved sights and
sensors and an advanced integrated
weapons system.
Ahn is former deputy C3 and deputy
chief of staff for Combined Forces
Command, and former senior ROK
member of the United Nations Command
Military Armistice Commission.
After his flight, Ahn presented
Ministry of National Defense coins to
pilot Johnson and two Longbow crew
chiefs, Spcs. William Small and
Christopher Kiser, before going to lunch
at the 6th Cavalry Brigades
Blackhorse dining facility.

Savings from the system has already
amounted to more than $56 million.
That's just 2003. It doesn't include
paying workers to process the
paperwork, Kintner said.
The automated payment of
government charge cards is one of thebest things about DTS, Kintner said.
This takes much of the after-the-fact
bill paying responsibility away from thetraveler.
Once a voucher is approved,
payment to the travelers government
travel charge card account is made
electronically.
There are currently 250 sites wherethe system has been set up, according
to DTS officials.
The system will be deployed to more
than 11,000 locations by the middle of
the decade, officials said, at which point
DTS will support more than 90 percentof all DoD business travel.
The goal is to have the system fully
implemented by 2006, Kintner said.
That's all of DoD.

Hayes said, adding that there would be
no incentive otherwise.
Just like the off-post person is
responsible (for utilities), the person
living on post in privatized housing will
be responsible too, Bolden said.
Only new and renovated houses willreceive the mock bills, Bolden said,
because these homes are energy
efficient, or energy-star compliant,
which he said is the industry term.
The majority of old quarters are not
individually metered, Bolden said, so it

Under the RCI program, more than37,000 family housing units at a dozeninstallations have been turned over toprivate developers. The companiesmanage the housing and collect rentthrough Soldiers Basic Allowance for

Its all about providing qualityhousing for the Soldiers and theirfamilies and using our nations energyin a wise manner, Bolden said.

Mondays and Wednesdays.
Usually we get 25-50 Soldiers for a
day, Wade explained. But, there is a
deadline coming up, so we shot 120
official photos in one day.After the Soldier reviews and
approves the photograph, VISC
transmits the image to the Department
of the Army Photograph Management
Information System.
Staff Sgt. Dennis Carpenter,
Company B, 102nd Military Intelligence
Battalion, said he went through a Class-
A inspection at his unit.They want to make sure everything
is in proper order, Carpenter said. I
got a lot of support from my chain of
command.
Carpenter said he was happy with
his official photograph.
This guy here is good, he said. He
put a lot of effort into making the
uniform look good.

PANMUNJOM With the Vietnam
War over, the 1976 incident on the Korean
demilitarized zone axe murders broughtU.S. troops back to the grim reality of
facing an enemy.
We were enraged at what happened
inside the JSA, said Mike Bilbo, a
specialist 4 at the time of the attack.
We wanted to go to war.
War was not the response U.S.
leaders chose.
After the 1976 axe murder incident at
the demilitarized zone, the President had
many options.
The tree was going to be cut down,
said Wayne Johnson, in his book Get the
Flags Up.
Johnson said his unit was going to help
make sure it was cut down, and to
protect the men that were going to be
doing the cutting. In case the North
Koreans had any ideas, we were there to
make them think twice.
There were a lot of questions from
the troops about the pick handles, and
another officer did his best to explain the
theory behind minimal show of force,
said Charles Ladd, a second lieutenant at
the time. There was a lot of grumbling,
but Soldiers do what they are told if they
trust their leadership. I credit our
noncommissioned officers for keeping
things together.
Operation Paul Bunyan
Everything was ready Aug. 21, 1976.
All units in Operation Paul Bunyan were
in position.
At 6:45 a.m., United Nations Joint
Security Area Commander Lt. Col. Victor
Vierra gave a message to the joint-duty
officer to be handed to his North Korean
counterpart. The message stated, At 7
a.m. this day, a UNC work force will enter
the JSA and commence to pruning the
tree in the vicinity of Checkpoint 3.
In addition, the message stated that
should there be no interference, and the
work force would depart the JSA
compound after completing the mission.
Obviously, we were apprehensive
about the reaction we would get, Vierra
said. Its not every day that you are
the point man for a potential second
Korean War.
At 7 a.m., Task Force Vierra entered
the JSA security compound and moved
directly to the Poplar tree next toCheckpoint 3. There were 16 2nd
Engineer Battalion Soldiers charged with
cutting the tree down.
In addition, Soldiers from Company
A, 2nd Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment
moved into position as a quick reaction
force to support the task force along
with 1st Batallion, 38th Field Artillery
and a few military aircraft.
I was in the lead truck of the convoy,
said Mark Luttrull, a specialist 4 at the
time. It was quiet, but the men were
full of resolve. We knew we stood on
the brink of war, and we would be the
first to know.
As engineers began cutting down the
tree, there was little reaction from the
North Koreans. According to accounts,
the North Koreans were totally taken
by surprise, and had no clue about what
they should do. The show of force made
by the ROK and U.S. forces was
unexpected.
Finally, after days of planning thetrees demise, U.S. and ROK Soldiers
cut the tree, branch by branch, until all
there was left was the stump.
After the final branch came down,
Vierra, who commanded the entire
operation, relayed to higher
headquarters, The tree is down.
We didnt really take our time
(getting out of the DMZ after the tree
was down), said Bill Fergueson, a
specialist 4 at the time. But, we sure
werent in a hurry to get out of there
either. We did our job, not a single shot
was fired and nobody else was going
to die. We wanted to savor the moment
so we could have something to
remember.
After a moment of reflection, TaskForce Vierra, the JSA Security Force
and all vehicles departed.
Aftermath
But, Operation Paul Bunyan was not
over. Only the overt part of the
operation had been completed. Over the
next few weeks U.S. forces remained
on a high state of alert.
When we withdrew, we took cover
between two hills just outside of
Panmunjom, Johnson said. Weapons
were now distributed and the men were
very alert to the possibility of trouble
from the KPA. We were no longer in
Panmunjom this was the DMZ, ourdomain.
My company commander was
called down to Camp Liberty Bell for a
briefing, he said. When we broke into
view of Camp Liberty Bell, he
immediately noticed that the three
flagpoles were barren, he said. We
had no idea if the camp would even exist
by mid-morning so we never raised the
U.S., Korean and UN flags. Instead,
they had been tucked away in one of
the vehicles so that they would not fall
into enemy hands. Get the flags up,
he ordered.
Once the flags were up and things
quieted down in the JSA area,
everything seemed to return back to
normal for the Soldiers, or as close as
it could get. But, these Soldiers now had
the time to reflect on the lessons they
learned before, during and after the axe
murders and Operation Paul Bunyan.
(Editors note: This is part two of a
three part series on the 1976 DMZ axe
murders)

CAMP CASEY In 1905, the
Armys first school for cooks and
bakers opened at Fort Riley, Kan. Up to
this point, Soldiers prepared their own
meals with issued rations.
The Army has come a long way since
creating the Mobile Kitchen Truck, or
MKT for short. The first mule-drawn
MKTs were used in World War I.
The 509th Personnel Services Battalion
incorporated an MKT during a four-day
field training exercise Sept. 24-26.
The purpose of having the MKT atthis FTX was to validate the abilities of
the cooks and MKT to support the
battalion in a wartime situation, said Capt.
William Vick Jr., Headquarter and
Headquarters Detachment commander.
They did a superb job.
Its our mission to support the
Soldiers, and boost their morale by

preparing an outstanding meal forthem, Spc. Michael Dillard,
Headquarters Detachment said.
Detachment Soldiers, who normally
work at the Division Support Command
dining facility, provided breakfast and
dinner meals for the 509th Soldiers
during the exercise.
Our supplies are limited as to what
we receive, but were always trying to
think of new ways to make it better than
what is issued to us, Dillard said.
On the first evening, the food-service
Soldiers served what they refer to as the
Thanksgiving meal. Dillard said its one
of the most popular meals with turkey,gravy and all the fixings.
At first I was hesitant about how
the food would taste since this was the
first time Ive had meals prepared
through an MKT, said Pvt. Princess
Gibbs, Detachment A. It was a positive
experience, not only for me, but the

The inside of the truck is dark and
filled with smoke, and has four obstacles
the children have to negotiate: stairs, a
slide, a hidden door and a backdraft
simulation. The children had to crawl
and use their hands to find the way out,
which simulates conditions that might
be present in a real fire.

Three camps in Korea did well in the
competition. Camp Hialeah placed
second in the best event contest. CampsEagle and Long took second place for
an extra-small installation in the best

The people who attended the

Command Sgt. Maj. Yolanda Lomax,
senior noncommissioned officer for
Area I and a representative at the

members competed against six other
extra-small installations Armywide.
Lomax said each group gave a
multimedia presentation. But, each group
also displayed a BOSS board. The
three-panel display highlighted threethemes:

Recreation and leisure
The BOSS board, Hegard explained,
was what the participants used to judge
the overall best BOSS program.

Hegard said. Ive been told this

meals while in the field.
We work together as a great team,
Dillard said. We can accomplish
anything together. Each person gives
100 percent effort and it shows.
Each team member has a specific
responsibility, he said, which allows the
operations to run smoothly.
The Soldiers are highly trained, said

both in garrison and field environments.Because of the time it takes from set
up to clean up, the MKT teams can only
provide two hot meals each day. The
MKT team in this exercise can feed up
to 350 people.
The MKT was incorporated as part
of sergeants time training for the
battalion in the weeks before the
exercise. The cooks practiced their craft
to give Soldiers a taste of what to expect
during the field training exercise.

We were pretty isolated at Camp
Falling Water.
Cox begins his broadcast day at 5
a.m. weekdays. He said the new studio
is full of new broadcast equipment.
I know the staff likes being here,
Vallone said. The infrastructure,barracks and work environment are a
lot better at Camp Casey.
The new facility is located near
Maude Hall, on the first floor of a
building once occupied by a Corps of
Engineers project office. Vallone said
there is still work to be done.
When we took over the building, it
was pretty much bare walls, Vallone
said. Once the engineers left, we
cleaned up and moved our broadcast
equipment in.
Vallone said he plans to work toward
making the building into a premiere
broadcast facility.I think its a great thing were back
at Casey, closer to the Soldiers, Vallone
said.
Cox spends 4 hours on the air during
his morning show, playing music, news
and interviewing community officials.
He fills the rest of his duty day writing
and producing radio commercials, or
spots, which air throughout the
broadcast day on Eagle FM and
Thunder AM. He also plans his next
show and updates the music.
The Eagle FM signal is broadcast
throughout Warrior Country on 88.5
and 88.3 FM. The station also has an
alternate service, Thunder AM, on 1197
and 1440 AM. American Forces
Network-Casey features an afternoon
show from 3-6 p.m. weekdays.
The biggest part of the project was
getting the installation of the broadcast
equipment, Vallone said. Our
leadership gave us a deadline of Oct. 1,
and we beat that by 10 days.

Please be
patient with
us as we
work in this

This years fall sports program is
well underway. Weve got 550 kids
playing soccer on 39 teams. And Im
very excited to say that we have, for
the first time, a flag football league, with
14 teams, totaling 224 players.
Another topic I want to mention is
fall clean-up. I want to remind
commanders, units and residents of
their responsibility to conduct fall clean-
up in their respective areas. The fallclean-up period is Oct. 25-28 for unit,
activity and troop billet areas, and Oct.
29 for bachelor officer, bachelor enlisted
and family quarters. Residents and unit
personnel can visit the Self-Help store
to pick up mowers, rakes and other
cleaning equipment to meet the
scheduled dates listed above.
I encourage you to do your part in
keeping Yongsan and Area II the
assignment of choice in Korea.
On another note Id like to remind
you about the post pet policy and our
athletic fields. Pets are being allowed
to roam all over the post to includeplaygrounds and ball fields. I know
you wouldnt do it, but there are some
people who just dont care about
standards.
If you see someone letting their pets

Goode said the new center will help
organizations by
preventing loss of
productivity.
In the past, to
reset their PIN,
users (had to) return to (the) 1stReplacement Companys identification

caused loss of work productivity,
diversion of resources from card
issuance, and threatened the ability to

They dont have to go through the
hassle of waiting in long lines at the

added.
Newer Department of Defense
identification cards have a computer
chip embedded with 32-kilobytes ofmemory.
Officials envision the new card as a
gateway to computer networks and
eventually facility access.
The new cards are required to
digitally sign and encrypt e-mail.Current identification cards are being
phased out.

artil lery shell here Wednesday.
Officials alerted and evacuated
Blackhawk Village near Gate 37.
The Area II Fire Department and
military police soon arrived at the
scene.
Immediately, we asked the military
police to clear the area, said Alex
Temporado, Area II fire chief. The
loop road on the northwest side of the
village was blocked to pedestrians and
traffic and about 12 families in
housing adjacent to the area were
evacuated.
An explosive ordnance detonation
team arrived to determine if the round
was safe to move.
We discovered that the device was
safe to transport with minimal
incident, said Staff Sgt. Scott
Rominger, 718th Explosive Ordnance
Detonation Company, one of a three-
man team.
The ammunition was a 76 mm
artillery round, Scott said.
The EOD team speculated that the
round was from the Korean War-era.
The DPW construction crew
unearthed the round while digging with
a backhoe.
Community officials canceled
scheduled soccer games near the site,
and encouraged the use of the youth
service facilities while emergency
response team dealt with the device.

that person pets are not allowed on the
playgrounds or ball fields. There are no
exceptions to this policy.There are three reasons that come to
mind when pets are allowed to run
everywhere: 1) unrestrained pets may
become aggressive around children and
could frighten or, heaven forbid, bite a
child; 2) some children are asthmatic or
susceptible to lice or ringworm from
associating with animals; and 3) if
owners do not clean up after their pets,
the pets leave residue andor urinate where
athletes or children play.These are unacceptable practices and
will not be tolerated.

http://ima.korea.army.mil/morningcalmweekly 15The Morning Calm Weekly Chaplain Oct. 15, 2004
By: Chaplain (Maj.) Stephen Cruys23rd Area Support Group
How do you measure how you are doing? How
do you judge if you are better off than you were
years ago? How about days ago? Hours? Lets get
right down to it. The truth is, we answer this question,
Are you better off now than you werewhenever,
by talking about the things we have. Whether we
measure our wealth in dollars or diamonds, stocks or
bonds, cars or homes, we all measure how were
doing by our things.
And maybe we should. Our things are important.
Our homes provide more than a place to stay dry and
warm and raise our families. They provide security.
Chaplain: How well off are you?Chaplain: How well off are you?Chaplain: How well off are you?Chaplain: How well off are you?Chaplain: How well off are you?Our cars do more than move us from one place to
another. They bring us to our jobs and our kids school
activities and sporting events things that provide
meaning for us and give us an internal sense of worth.
Things do matter. But the question remains, Howdo you measure if you are better off now than?
Scripture is full of examples of people who are
well off. Some become even better off as the story
unfolds while some become worse off. What becomes
clear as you read the stories of the wealthy and the
not so wealthy is that how well off they are isnt the
point of the story at all. Its how they use their wealth
that matters. Jesus once told a man, who was mad at
his brother for not sharing his inheritance to, Be on
your guard against all kinds of greed; for ones life
does not consist in the abundance of possessions.
His point is well taken. Its not what youve got; its
what you do with it that matters.
I pulled up behind a car the other day with a bumper
sticker on it that read, Life is a test. It is only a test. Ifthis were your actual life, you would have been given
better instructions. Its easy to resonate with the writers
sentiment. We live in a less than perfect world surrounded
by less than perfect people. And yet, here we are. Maybe
were better off than we were years ago. Maybe we
arent. Perhaps thats not even the right question. Or
perhaps, just perhaps, how you answer that question
depends on how you measure what youre worth.

Area III Public Affairs Office
DANGJIN Just a few minutes southwest
of Camp Humphreys, the Sapgyoho Marine Park
is an interesting day trip that shows how sailors
lived and fought aboard two vintage war ships.
A landing ship and a destroyer, both U.S.
Navy vessels transferred to the Republic of
Korea Navy, have been converted into floating
museums with galleries and exhibits throughout
their expansive hulls.
Visitors can wander at their own pace
through the nicely-designed exhibits. Though
there are no English translations, most of the
exhibits are understandable. They depict the
uniforms, weapons and the lifestyle of sailorsthat served aboard the ships.
Guests can squeeze through narrow
passageways past the galley, state rooms or
operations centers and up stairs to the bridge,
where captains once issued orders.
During World War II, about 1,050 landing
ship transports, or LSTs, were built to to carry
troops and supplies to American and allied troops
fighting in Europe and the Pacific theaters. When
the war ended, most of the LSTs werescrapped, modified or given to navies of other
countries. Some remained in service and saw
action in Korea, Vietnam and even the Cuban
Blockade.
The destroyer docked at the marine park was
formerly the USS Rogers. Named for three
brothers killed in action aboard the USS New
Orleans during the Battle of Tassafaronga in the
Solomon Islands, it is a Gearing class destroyer
launched in November 1944. It saw action in
World War II, the Korean War and in Vietnam.
The USS Rogers was decommissioned in
October 1980 and transferred in July 1981 to the
Republic of Korea Navy and renamed Jeong Ju.
After exploring the ships, visitors can viewother dockside exhibits, including an amphibious
landing craft and seaplanes, or visit the souvenir
shop, restaurant and photo gallery nearby.
Entrance fee is 5,000 won for adults, 4,000
won for children and 3,000 won for Soldiers
and students.

CAMP HUMPHREYS Those are not mermaids being
placed into the Zoeckler Station Outdoor Swimming Pool atCamp Humphreys.
But for activity-starved fishermen, its just about as good.
The outdoor swimming pool, which closed for the seasonjust after Labor Day, has remained filled with water thats
turned just a little bit green in preparation for the second ever
Jethro Bodine C-ment Pond Fishing Derby 10 a.m. Saturday.
Trout weighing 3-to-5 pounds each have been purchased
from a Korean trout farm and will be placed in the swimming
pool to provide a novel f ishing opportunity.
Our goal in the Area III Morale, Welfare & Recreation
program is to provide unusual and different activities to keep
our soldiers, airmen, civilian employees and family members
entertained, said Area III Sports Director Jim Howell. Iguess a fishing derby in a swimming pool qualifies as
something unique.
Inspiration for the Fishing Derby was provided by JethroBodine of Beverly Hillbillys fame who made fishin in the C-
ment Pond famous throughout the U.S.
The speckled trout, which average a kilo each, are being
trucked from a trout farm near Koreas east coast and will be
put in the pool upon arrival.
We havent added any chemicals to the pool since we
closed it, Howell said, so the chlorine has dissipated, making
it safe for the fish. The water is a little green from the algae,
but its pure, which is what the fish need.
The Fishing Derby starts at 10 a.m. and wraps up about 3
p.m. Entry is $5 for adults. Children may fish for free.
Fishermen will be allowed to catch up to three fish, which
they can clean and cook at the pool or take home with them.
