ARLINGTON, Va. —   Everyone who drives an Army vehicle must complete a new online course designed to make people think about driving safer. The Accident Avoidance Course now is available through the Army Knowledge Online Learning Management Services.

Refresher training must be completed every four four years. The course meets the four-year refresher training requirements of Army Regulation 38555 and Army Regulation 600-55.

The vote is in: Military Idol is a hit By Spc. Stephanie Pearson Area I Public Affairs

CAMP CASEY — The Gateway Club was  packed Saturday afternoon as the final round of competition kicked off. Backstage, singers  paced, warming up their voices, checking their  outfits and praying the crowd would love them. In the audience, Soldiers, civilians and family members waited with ballots in hand to choose the first Area I Military Idol. The Military Idol competition is a Community and Family Support Center program based on, and in coordination with, popular reality television show “American Idol.” Soldiers who think they have what it takes auditioned Labor Day weekend at preliminary round competitions on Camps Casey and Red Cloud, singing without accompaniment for a  panel of three of judges. The judges picked 10 hopefuls from each camp to compete in a semifinal round Sept. 30 at the Camp Red Cloud theater. This time it was the audience members

who voted for their favorites, choosing 10

CAMP CASEY   — Spc. Sonya Hackman, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, Area I, almost didn’t compete in the final round of the Military Idol competition. “I had so much going on at the time,” Hackman explained. “I’m preparing for the promotion board and going to school, and I had mid-term exams, a Class-A and barracks inspection, and Military Idol finals all in one week. I was trying to prioritize, and at the time Military Idol see med like the lowest thing on my list.” Luckily, Hackman found the time to squeeze it in, and now she is thankful she did. Hackman is the first Area I Military Idol, winning the title Saturday at the Gateway Club. “I couldn’t believe I won,” Hackman said. “If  you think about it, I’m just a little country girl f rom

as she did,” he said. “I just wanted to support her   beca use she’s in my compa ny. I didn’t know she could sing like that.” Beniquez joined a group of Soldiers from CRC who made the trip to Camp Casey to support Hackman, and said he knew she would win. “As soon as she went up on stage I knew it,” he said. “She was great -- nobody even compared to her.” The crowd apparently agreed, rising to their feet to give Hackman a standing ovation for her soulful rendition of Deborah Cox’s song “How Did You Get Here?”

KoreanServ erviiceCorps Corps movesto toCam CampStanley  By Margaret Banish-Donaldson Area I Public Affairs

CAMP STANLEY — The 15th Korean Service Corps Company has a new home. The company moved from Camp Red Cloud to Camp Stanley Sept. 30 as part of the 2nd Infantry Division transformation. To improve the work environment of the KSC Company, Building 2383 was renovated for their new offices. In addition to minor repairs, officials had the roof  fixed, walls painted and doors replaced in preparation of  the unit’s transition. At a cost of $42,000 and a little over  one month’s work, William Kapaku, deputy to the CRC garrison commander, said the 15th KSC now has a worldclass facility. “We culminated that action with today’s ribbon-cutting ceremony,” said Kapaku. “This is our Area I and CRC garrison commitment to a proud and strong partnership with the Korean Service Corps, who have always answered our calls for fire to support the warfighter here on the Korean peninsula.” In March 1954, the 15th KSC Company was formed in Uijeongbu with 350 personnel to support the Special Troops Unit, Headquarters, I Corps Group at Camp Red Cloud. The 15th KSC combined with the 20th KSC in July 1971; in September 1992, the 15th KSC Co. began to support the U.S. Army garrison.

“Acrossofthe peninsula, theindirect-hire 15th KSC civilians Company is composed Korean National who  perform combat service support duties,” said Hwang Sunkun, 15th KSC Co. commander. The KSC supports the activities of the 2nd Infantry Division, 19th Theater Support Command, 18th Medical Command and the Defense Commissary Agency.

YONGSAN GARRISON  — Securit y offici als hailed the arrival of a new mobile scanning system Sept. 23 with a technology demonstration at the Area II headquarters parking lot. The $790,000 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter truck scans vehicles it passes and produces high-resolution, realtime X-rays. “We simply turn it on and have cars drive past us so we can scan them,” said Robert Britton, a technical training specialist with American Science and Engineering, the developer and contractor for the technology. “It sends X-rays out into the vehicles a nd examines the signals we get back to create a complete digitized map of the interior of the vehicle,” he explained. Britton said parts of the technology have been around for at least 15 years; however, his company developed and patented a unique

The Korean guards are two of six Yongsan security officials who attended a two-day training session Sept. 26-27 with the mobile scanner manufacturer. “Wee feel very excited to “W learn about this technology,” said Kim Kwang-su, one of the guards.   “We teach operators to look for anomalies and asymmetries,” Britton said. “Anomalies are like ‘Sesame Street,’ you PHOTOS  BY D AVID M CNALLY know, one of these things Korean sec security urity g uard Kim Ku-hyun (rig (right) ht) an and d Kim KwangKwang-su su review a sc scanned anned X-ray image image of  is not like the other. a v vehic ehicle le w waiting aiting to ent enter er Yongs Yongsan an Army G arrison S Sept. ept. 27.

To this extent, the envelopes that their  collection letters come in cannot imply that you owe money. They cannot try to collect money from you using a postcard.

Hanbok - A Korean tradition  By Park Myung-joon Langua guage, ge, reli religio gion n CAMP HENRY – Lan and cultural traditions such as dance, food, housing and fashion play an important role in the preservation and expression of cultural identity. In multi-

Age, gender, occasion and occupation call for different kinds of  hanbok. Therefore, hanbok’s form, materials and designs provide a glimpse into the Korean lifestyle, while its colors indicate the values and worldview of the Korean people.

ethnic nations such as China and the United States, styles of traditional fashions are diverse. But in Korea, a country with only one ethnicity, there is only one traditional style of fashion – hanbok. The hanbok style first appeared about 2,000 years ago. From that time, the  basic shape and appearance of hanbok  have changed very little. The basis of the hanbok design differs from Western clothing. The hanbok is  bas ed on fla t and str aig ht lin es, as opposed to Western clothing, which is  based on dimensional dimensional and curved lines. lines. “This gave (the) hanbok unique pros and cons,” said a master hanbok maker  Kim Bok-yeon. Having the base in straight lines gives hanboks a unique beauty when

“For the bureaucratic people, white cloth was a way to show their privilege and their nobility. Only using white fabric made them restrict their movements and speech to what was proper,” said Kim. Hanbok was also a way of hiding one’s appearance and forcing others to look for inner beauty. This illustrates the Korean way of determining people’s value, not by appearance but inner mind, which comes from the Confusionist culture. “Hanbok might mask the beauty that can be seen by outward appearances,  but tha t hel ps show cas e your inne r   be au ty to ot he rs . Th at ’s th e bi g difference with Western clothes—not showing outer beauty. The emphasis on inner beauty should be the attractive  point of hanbok,” hanbok,” said Kim.

compared with Western clothing, said Kim. One way to truly appreciate hanbok is to see the lines of the skirt moving when the wind blows, she said. Because hanbok is not form-fitting to the body, the straight-line design offers enough space to allow the wearer  to feel comfortable. “When I wore (a) hanbok, it was actually very comfortable, and I could move around. It was made out of some type of silk material, which felt good against my skin. It was a good experience to wear,” said Pvt. Joseph C. Schablik, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 19th Theater Support Command.

Most of the process of hanbok is still done by hand. Spc. Joanne Pae, 109th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment, had a chance to visit Kim’s hanbok design house and see the actual process.  “I really enjoyed the hand stitching that she had done, and you don’t find anything like that back in the United States. It looks machine made. The dress that she showed us was one of  the most beautiful dresses that I had ever  seen. It was gorgeous,” Pae said. “Wearing “W earing hanbok is just like wearing Korean tradition on your skin,” Kim said. “Trying it on is one way to know and experience the Korean Culture.”

2005 Soldier Show returns r eturns four four to Humphreys Humphreys By Roger Edwards Area III Public Affairs

CAMP HUMPHREYS – Four  members of the Humphreys family returned Sept. 29 to entertain a packed house in the 2005 Soldier Show. Spc. Abraham Hazbun, Sgt. Allison Carpenter, Staff Sgt. Kent Kramer and 1st Lt. Christina Fanitzi were among the 19 entertainers and technicians who filled the Humphreys Gym with song and dance for about 600 of their  fellow Soldiers. The 90-minute  progr am incl uded songs r anging fr om the theme from “Carwash” and a comic rendition of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” to rap, rhythm and blues, rock, country, gospel and patriotic music all presented under the collective title “Operation America Cares.” “The message of the show,”

according to Director Victor Hurtado, “is that it doesn’t matter how tough we are, and it doesn’t matter how fit to fight we are, Soldiers are still human and longing for the familiar and America’s affection.” Carpenter is a member of  Humphreys 527th Military Intelligence Battalion, who sings and dances during the production, and juggles and twirls batons. “The Soldier Show has  been a grea t oppor tunit y,” she said . “I’ve been singing and dancing since I was two years old and this has been a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see what the life of an entertainer on the road is like. But it’s almost over and I’m looking forward to getting back.” Carpenter will only be returning to Humphreys for a short time, just long enough to clear and move on to her  next assignment. Fanitzi, who was a member of the 30th Military Intelligence Battalion, is no stranger to entertainment. Before auditioning for the Soldier Show, Fanitzi appeared on stage in “42nd Street,” “Bye Bye Birdie” and the Army’s “Stars of Tomorrow”

CAMP HUMPHREYS – Soldiers working and living in the Zoeckler Station area of Camp Humphreys now have a new place to play. MWR has opened a “MiniCAC,” a game room with table tennis, foosball, darts and a chinning bar; in building 1319 across the street from the Z-Station complex. The project was initiated when Capt. Rich Malaga focused attention on the fact that, with the Nightwatch closure for remodeling, his Soldiers had no ready

access to on base relaxation facilities other than  bow li ng and gol f. “To get to any th ing els e on bas e, ” he said, “they had to take the bus. There were a lot who simply turned left and went to town instead.” His idea was to open a recreational room near where his Soldiers live and work. Humphreys MWR decided to do something about it.

AFTB training helps build stronger Army By Galen Putnam Area IV Public Affairs

CAMP HENRY – Soldiers learn about the Army, its customs and how it functions through extensive training and ongoing first-hand experience. Things are a bit different, however, for the family members, civilian employees and others who make up the “Army Family.” To help close that knowledge gap, the Army offers a training program to help community members better  understand what the Army is all about, improve life skills, enhance professional growth, develop leadership skills and more. Devised at an Army Family Action Plan conference following Operation Desert Dese rt Storm, Army Family Team Building is a three-phase training program designed to teach family members and others how to cope with Army life, to support the Soldier and to contribute to the Army’s overall success. “The goal is for participants to learn, grow their   potential, then train others,” others,” said Vicki Kingston, Area

IV Support Activity coordinator. “AFTB helps people learn AFTB/AFAP to adjust to Army life and then develop additional skills that can benefit the individual, their family and the community.” An important assumption is that if spouses are equipped to handle the unique challenges of military life, Soldiers will be able to better concentrate on the mission. Although AFTB is geared toward family members, Kingston pointed out the training is available avail able to all community members, including Soldiers – who receive promotion points for attending. Level I training covers Army basics such as the chain of command, acronyms, entitlements and similar  topics. Level II training branches into more complex topics such as relationship building, effective leadership,

Level III training delves into more in-depth subjects like coaching, mentoring and advising, teambuilding, motivating others, problem-solving techniques, and more. Level III training was held at Camp Henry Sept. 22   23 with 10 participants. Camp Hialeah conducted  –  23 Level I training Sept. 14 with 23 students taking part. “I didn’t know about AFTB until I got to Daegu. I took Phase I and met a l ot of people and that gave me confidence so I decided to continue,” said L evel III student Ok Yong Yong West, an administrative support assistant with the Area IV Support Activity Directorate of Human Resources, whose husband is a military retiree. “I wish they had something like this 20 years ago. It would have made me much more effective as a family member and as a m ember  of the community.” AFTB classes are offered throughout the year at

camps Henry, Hialeah and Carroll. The next class will  be a Korean-Language Level I course at Camp Carroll Carroll Oct. 28. An AFTB Instructor Training Course will be held Nov. 30 – Dec. 1 at Camp Henry. Graduation for  ITC students will be held in conjunction with a ceremony marking the 11th birthday of AFTB 11 a.m. Dec. 2, at the Evergreen Community Comm unity Club. All students and instructors who participated participate d in Levels I – III during the past year are invited to attend and to be recognized. “When the spouse is happy, the Soldier is happy. It is a reciprocating process,” said Level III participant Bethany Cerella, a painter and Army Community Service volunteer whose husband is on active duty. “I learned a lot about group management, conflict management and other, critical concepts I haven’t been exposed to as an artist.” In Area IV Level I and II classes are offered once or twice a quarter. Level III training is held twice each year. The Instructor Training Course is held once a year. Off-peninsula AFTB courses for advanced students include the Master Training Course, which is offered twice each year, and the Core Instructor  Training Course that is offered every two years. “Jae Bowers, our AFTB coordinator, managed to get people from all walks of life, including active duty, duty, to participate. That’s important because the  participants learn not only from the presenters but from each other as well,” said Walter Brockmann, Camp Hialeah Army Community Service director. “The ‘coming together’ or ‘chip-in’ mentality is very much alive here at Camp Hialeah. AFTB very much enhances that mindset.” For information or to sign up for an AFTB course in Daegu or Camp Carroll, Carroll , call Vicki Kingston at 768-7232. At Camp Hialeah, call Jae Bowers at 763-7271 763-7271.. Level I – III training is also available via the Internet. The AFTB Web site is: www.aftb.org.
