Bush: North Korea to be ‘held to account’ for WMD transfers
By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON — The United States will hold
North Korea responsible if it attempts to transfer nuclear
bombs or other weapons of mass destruction to
America’s enemies, President Bush said recently on a
national television news show.
On a segment of ABC television’s “This Week,”
host George Stephanopoulos asked Bush about the
current status of U.S. relations with North Korea
following that nation’s Oct. 9 announcement it had
successfully tested a nuclear bomb.
North Korea would “be held to account” if it
attempted to sell or transfer nuclear weapons to Iran
or al Qaeda, Bush told Stephanopoulos.
If it were discovered that North Korea was about
to transfer a nuclear weapon, then “we would stop
the transfer,” Bush said, whether it occurred via ships
or airplanes.
Bush said North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il should
realize his nation would face “a grave consequence” if
it tried to engage in WMD proliferation.
The United Nations’ Security Council recently
passed resolution 1718 that placed a number of

sanctions on North Korea to prevent it from exporting
destructive technology to terrorists or rogue nations.
China, North Korea’s key benefactor, has reportedly
urged Kim to back off from his nuclear program. Bush
said China’s support of the U.N. sanctions against
North Korea “surprised a lot of people.” The Chinese,
Bush added, also are now inspecting incoming cargo
from North Korea.

Soldiers still have time
to vote absentee
By Sgt. Sara Wood
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON – Servicemembers
and U.S. citizens living overseas still have
time to register, request a ballot and vote
in November’s mid-term elections, the
Defense Department official in charge
of the absentee voting program said
Oct. 18.
While the registration deadlines for
some states have passed, absentee
voters can still register and request a
ballot from about 30 states, said Polli
Brunelli, director of the Federal Voting
Assistance Program. She also urged
overseas citizens who have received a
ballot to complete it and send it in to
ensure their votes are counted.
“If you’ve gotten your ballot, vote it
and return it,” Brunelli said. “If you
haven’t gotten your ballot, if you
haven’t registered and you want to
register, there’s still time to do it in many
states.”
The Federal Voting Assistance
Program Web site, at <AHREF=”HTTP:
www.fvap.gov?target=”_blank”http://
www.fvap.gov, has state-by-state
information on registration and voting
deadlines. The site also offers a feature
that lists electronic voting options for
absentee voters, such as faxing or e-
mailing ballots.
Because the mail system can be
irregular, many states are instituting
these electronic options for absentee
voters, Brunelli said. It’s up to the
individual states to decide what is
acceptable, she said, but about 35 states
allow a blank ballot to be faxed to
overseas citizens, and about 26 states
allow a voter to send back a voted ballot
by fax. These electronic options are
helpful for troops deployed overseas,

who often can’t rely on the mail system,
she noted.
“We’re trying to make voting as easy
as possible,” she said. “It really isn’t that
complicated.”
Electronic voting procedures do
bring a certain amount of risk for
confidentiality, Brunelli acknowledged.
Because of that, voters who wish to use
electronic procedures have to sign a
security waiver saying they understand
the risks, she said.
If overseas citizens have not received
their ballots yet, they can use a Federal
Write-in Absentee Ballot, which is
available at U.S. embassies, consulates
and military installations, Brunelli said.
These ballots are accepted by all
states and allow the citizen to vote for
federal offices, she said. However, if
someone has completed the write-in
ballot and receives a state ballot later,
he or she should still complete and send
in the state ballot, she said.
The military has about 1.4 million
potential absentee voters, and federal
employees serving overseas and other
citizens living overseas bring that
number up to a potential 6 million,
Brunelli said.
Absentee voters usually participate at
high rates in presidential elections, but
often the smaller elections, like next
month’s, don’t get the participation they
should, she said.
“It’s important to vote in all
elections,” she said. “Mid-term elections
are incredibly important to the military
member, to your families. It’s your
chance to voice your opinion and make
a determination on who’s going to
represent you. It’s an opportunity to
participate in the electoral process; we
want to encourage everyone to do that.

Charlie Daniels: I have the greatest
admiration for people in uniform
By Jim Cunningham
Area I Public Affairs
CAMP RED CLOUD—The devil
may have gone down to Georgia but
Charlie Daniels and his sextet came
here Sunday to entertain Soldiers.
Daniels has been entertaining troops
for a long time.
“The first out-of-country show I
did for American troops was in
Greenland in about 1964 or 1965,” said
Daniels, leading country music
virtuoso of violin and guitar, and leader
of the band. “I have been doing this
for a long time.”
Daniels has a very good reason for
entertaining the troops.
“I can’t carry a gun,” Daniels said.
“I can carry a fiddle and a guitar.”
His admiration for the American
Soldier has deep roots.
“I come from a time during World
War II, that is where my brand of
patriotism comes from,” Daniels said.
“I have the greatest admiration for the
people in uniform. I think they are the
greatest bunch of people in the world.
“What is so wrong with American
youth that get in trouble day-in and
day-out is so right with the military.
They are healthy, they are drug free,
they are responsible, and they respond
to authority, they are just great.
Especially now with the all volunteer
military you get people who want to
be here and that makes a lot of
difference. The more time I spend
with our troops, the more admiration
I have for them. I know for a fact
that without our military there would
be no America.
“We would not last 50 days without
our military,” Daniels said. “All we have
got standing between us, without the
help of God -- and of course, we always
have to have that -- and death by
terrorist is these people in uniform. I’m
very pro-military.”
Daniels plays for military men and
women both in and out of the United
States.
“It doesn’t matter if it is Afghanistan,
Iraq, Korea or troops in the states, we
are proud to entertain them anywhere
they are,” he said.
Daniels has criteria for when he
plays, and when he will stop playing
music all together.
“When it stops being fun is when I
will stop playing,” Daniels said. “I just
love playing. I get excited every time I
pick up an instrument.”
Like many bands led by today’s
virtuoso instrumentalists, the Charlie
Daniels band is very eclectic.

Those moments topped off with a trap
set drum solo that would make Buddy
Rich proud.
Every set followed another new set,
especially when Daniels featured his
most requested tunes, some written
more than 30 years ago.
It was fitting that the audience
serenaded the band with refrains of

the USO gave gifts to two Dongducheon

third annual Dongducheon Volunteer
Expo.
The USO highlighted its Virtues
Program by setting up booths for
simple, quick conversational English
manned by the participating Soldier
volunteers from the 2nd Battalion 9th
Infantry Regiment. There were
Soldiers reading books to elementary
students, as well as Soldiers
exchanging English phrases with
middle and high school students.
Soldiers also conversed in basic
English with adults attending the fair.
“The Volunteer Expo is another great
opportunity for Soldiers to experience
being a part of an event this big while
being away from home,” said Sally
Manuelita Hall, manager of the Camp
Casey USO in Area 1. “It gives them an
opportunity to interact with the citizens
of Dongducheon during their

Not only were the citizens of

“The Soldiers manning the USO

‘what’s your name.’”
The Aeshin and the My Home
orphanages are two orphanages the USO
works with, and each received gifts
from the Soldiers of the Battle Command
Training Program.
“The BCTP civilians, contractors and
military personnel have been here many
times and visited the orphanages in the
past, and basically asked if we could
make a contribution,” said Lt. Col.
Earleywine, commander of BCTP,
Operation Charlie, Fort Leavenworth.
“We wanted to make some sort of
contribution,” Earleywine said. “The
USO has been the voice for us and
helped our coordinator, Sgt. 1st. Class
Urrutia of BCTP, make this happen. Hall
and Urrutia exchanged e-mails weeks
before we arrived in Korea. Everybody
in the USO has been very helpful.”
In addition, many retired Soldiers
and civilians volunteer for the USO and
work with the orphanages.
“I just volunteer to help the children,”
said Malcolm White, a retired Soldier.
“I have been volunteering for the USO
now for two years. I am prior service
and now that I am retired, I have come
back to Korea and picked up helping at
the USO again. I used to teach in two
of the schools in the USO Virtues

The significance of the gifts the USO

Sgt. James Grant
HHC, 1-72 Armor Battalion
CAMP CASEY — During the early morning hours
of Sept. 29. elements of Headquarters and
Headquarters Company 1-72 Armor Battalion were
moving toward their objective. This, however, was
no ordinary mission. As the men of HHC 1-72 arrived
at the objective they were greeted with smiling faces,
warm handshakes, hot coffee and the laughter of
dozens of school children.
The Shalom House located in Dongducheon was
day of hard labor from the officers, NCOs, and
Soldiers of HHC as a “thank you” for the many
wonderful services they provide. Men more used to
waging war than creating smiles undertook everything
from leaf raking to interior and exterior painting to
landscaping.
“Even though the children came and went so
quickly this morning it was nice to see their smiling
faces and hear their squeals of laughter,” said Staff
Sgt. Jerry Marmo from HHC 1-72 Sniper Section. “It
reminded me of my children back home in Kentucky.
That was all the payment I needed for a day of hard
work.”
The building exterior was painted, windows were
washed, a stairwell banister was polished, hallways
cleaned out; that being no easy task according to the
crew who tackled it.
A mechanical lift was employed to facilitate the
painting of the second and third floors of the building
while Soldiers took turns in the basket slinging and
scraping paint. A group of warriors ascended to the
roof and cleaned out gutters while another, perhaps
less-fortunate group, swept and collected the results
of the gutter clean out down at ground level.
At days end, as the work winds down and the long
list of tasks was complete, HHC 1-72 Armor began a
slow retreat back to their area of operation, leaving
this objective better than they found it, which is quite
unusual for a group trained and proficient in the all-
too-ugly art of warfare.

KSC practices annual wartime mobilization exercise

By Cpl. Lee Yang-won
Area II Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON —
Hundreds of Korean Service Corps
employees acted out their wartime
mobilization plan like giant chess
pieces on the floor of a packed Trent
Gymnasium Oct. 19.
The annual exercise provided a
visual concept for units to see how
the mobilization process would work
during wartime.
“This is good opportunity for the
U.S. supported units to see actual
training,” said Korean Service Corps
Battalion Sgt. Maj. Henry Garrett. “We
want to show them an actual wartime
expansion of the KSC Battalion.”

companies from JSA through Busan,”
Garrett said. “However, during time
of war contingences, we expand from
16 to over 200 companies.”
Garret said KSC personnel would
also expand from 2,100 to more than
30,000 members. Because of military
transitions, the KSC battalion
conducts the mobilization drill every
year.
“This drill is a great opportunity to
meet our counterparts,” said 37th KSC
Company Pak Chol-su. “We can
confirm our roles with the U.S.
supported units and also together
reform some aspects of wartime
strategies.”
Eighth U.S. Army Commander Lt.
Gen. David P. Valcourt observed KSC
servicemembers during the drill.
“It’s clearly the function and
wartime tasks of this battalion that are
key enablers of the 8th U.S. Army and
the alliance of the defense of Korea,”
Valcourt said. “We owe it to ourselves
to make sure we are [reviewing] the
individual tasks of our KSCs and also
the collective tasks.”
Valcourt said he appreciated the
battalion’s work and how the
leadership got prepared for the
exercise.

Korean employee to retire
after 51 years of service
By Cpl. Lee Yang-won
Area II Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON — Just a few years after the
closing days of the Korean War, a 17-year-old Korean boy
applied for a job at a U.S. military base near Seoul. Since
then, he served scores of years as a tire shop engineer,
maintenance mechanic, and storage clerk.
Now, after 51 years of commitment to the U.S. military,
69-year-old Kim Yong-chin is on the brink of retiring.
“I didn’t have any knowledge of my job back then, so I
had to learn step-by-step for about two years,” Kim said. “I
started my career as a tire shop mechanic when I was 17
years old.”
He said those were the hard times, but his consistent
performance as a tire shop mechanic would eventually pay
off. He was promoted to maintenance mechanic.
“I was a maintenance mechanic for 10 years and a storage
clerk for another 10 years,” Kim said. “After those years,
the government offered me a spot as a stock control clerk.”
For the next 14 years, Kim was in charge of supervising
maintenance equipment.
When the military deactivated Kim’s battalion in 1994, he
took charge of the Area II milk plant at K-16 Air Base south

‘Barney the Bus’ teaches school bus safety Schools observe
By David McNally
Area II Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON — The little yellow bus
Red Ribbon Week
spoke to people and tooted its horn. “Barney the Bus”
was on duty at the Main Exchange Oct. 18, to raise
awareness about National School Bus Safety Week.
School transportation workers accompanied Barney
and met face-to-face with community members.
“The overall objective was to be proactive in
promoting student safety,” said Department of Defense
Dependent Schools employee Ken Bakameyer.
Bakameyer and coworker Fred Vandersys met with
more than 175 Yongsan residents entering the Main
Exchange during lunchtime.
“We had interaction with a lot of parents who have
kids in school,” Bakameyer said. “It was good.”
Barney is a remote-control bus with big blinking eye
and a penchant for making kids smile.
Bakameyer and Vandersys handed out literature and
free pencils designed to teach school bus safety.
National School Bus Safety Week is observed
during the third week of October across the United
States.
The National School Transportation Association
pushes out information kids should know about school
bus safety:
„ The bus driver and others cannot see you if you are
standing closer than 10 feet from the bus. Stay out of
the danger zone!
„ If something falls under or near the bus, tell the driver.
Never try to pick it up yourself!
„ While waiting for the bus, stay in a safe place away
from the street.
„ When you get on or off the bus, look for the bus
safety lights and make sure they are flashing.
„ Be alert to traffic. When you get on or off the

„ When the driver says it is safe to cross the street,
remember to cross in front of the bus.
„ Stay in your seat and sit quietly so that the driver is
not distracted.
“I think we made a difference,” Bakameyer said.
“We were able to explain the importance of school
bus safety and the community’s role in promoting
pedestrian safety.”

YONGSAN GARRISON — This week across
America school children joined together to work
toward a drug-free nation. At Yongsan, students
observed Red Ribbon Week.
Adolescent Substance Abuse Counseling
Service worked with Seoul American High
School and Middle School students to promote
events.
The two schools and ASACS combined forces
to raise awareness of Students Against
Destructive Decision-making.
The original goal of SADD was to help young
people say “no” to drinking and driving, but the
goal expanded on to drugs.
Red Ribbon Week is designed to promote
healthy and drug-free lifestyles by offering
positive activities and events in which teens can
get involved.
“We had a 10K fun run at Collier Field Oct.
21,” said ASACS Counsleor Shelia Bryant. “We
were very pleased to have over 100 runners
participate and much excitement and energy

Military retirees get salute
By Capt. Stacy Ouellette
8th U.S. Army Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON — More
than 150 retirees from across the
peninsula participated in the first Korea
Retiree Appreciation Day Oct. 14 here.
“The purpose of today’s event is
to appreciate the retirees,” said Event
Coordinator Byron Ellison. “We have
a slogan called ‘still serving,’ which
means even though individuals are
retired, they’re still an intricate part
of the community.”
Ellison said they appreciate retirees
not only for the hard work as active
duty servicemembers, but as
contributing members of the
community.
After registering at the Main Post
Club, retirees received a gift bag with
a commemorative mug and hat
marking the event. Many retirees
brought family members with them to
celebrate the day.
A free retiree luncheon began at 11:30
a.m. and included raffle drawings with
gift certificates, electronics and other
donated items as prizes.
Eighth U.S. Army Commanding
General Lt. Gen. David P. Valcourt
addressed the group during the
luncheon.
“We are very excited about having
the very first on the entire peninsula

Following Valcourt’s comments
Retirement Services Officer John
“Jack” Terwiel spoke about three
important components when
volunteering full time: community,
commitment, and caring.
People set up a variety of booths
to provide important information to
retirees and guests.
Don Bornowski, a U.S. Forces
Korea employee and retired warrant
officer has been serving in Korea for
the last 18 years. He started out on
active duty and transferred into the
civilian military sector after retiring
with more than 22 years of service.
“I was surprised and honored by
the Soldiers on active duty who took
the time on a weekend to give up there
time to make us feel at home and their
display of kindness to the retirees that
they haven’t forgotten,” he said.
“We’re all a team over here and it’s
an important connection between
retirees and active duty soldiers.”

“His enthusiasm and commitment

“He’s unbelievably diligent and makes
the workflow fluent. He’s like a father
who we could look up to.”
Kim is due to retire later this month.
He said he does not have specific
plans for the future, but will likely
spend more time with his family. His
working days may be limited, but his
incessant ardor and commitment
toward his job may be an everlasting
treasure for Area II.

The Morning Calm Weekly
Make the Right Moves When it Comes to PCS
By Capt. Cesar B. Casal
Military Claims Division
PCS moves are an inevitable part of life for military
members and their families. Shipment of household
goods can be one of the most challenging aspects of
PCS moves, so it’s important to take a few precautions
before the movers even arrive.
Document Your Property Before the Move
Before the movers arrive, document the most significant
items. Significant items include electronics, antiques,
fine china and crystal items. Collect receipts and
appraisals for valuable items. Take photographs or video
of everything in the home. For electronics, take pictures
or video of the item while it’s turned on.
If you have a large DVD or CD collection, take pictures
of both the DVD/CD jackets and the DVDs/CDs
themselves. Note the number of discs on the inventory
sheet. Ensure that your receipts, appraisals, photos and
videotapes are not shipped with the property. Leave
them with a relative, hand carry them, or mail them
separately from the household goods.
Consider Insurance Options
If the property is lost or destroyed, the Army claims
office will only be able to pay the depreciated value of
the property. They calculate this by finding the cost of
replacing the property and then depreciating this value
by a set percentage per year. The purpose of depreciation
is to arrive at a fair compensation amount for both the
member and the government.
The Army claims office also has maximum amounts it
can pay for certain items. For example, the maximum
amount payable for a plasma or flat panel TV is $2,500.
If this amount is not adequate or if there are a number of
expensive items, members may want to consider
obtaining private insurance. Before purchasing a policy
however, make sure it will apply to an OCONUS move
to or from Korea.
Set Aside Items You Do Not Want Shipped
Before the movers arrive, set aside any items that you
do not want shipped. It is not advised to ship small
valuable items such as jewelry, MP3 players, cell-phones,
and cameras. Cash and coin collections should never
be shipped because there may not be anything to recover
if they are lost or stolen.
Supervise the Movers
Have food and drink ready for the movers when they
arrive. Happy movers will be more careful with your
items and will do a better job overall. Think of this as
the best insurance $20 can buy.
When the movers arrive, watch how they pack the
property. Pay particular attention to how the movers
complete the inventory. Ensure electronics and other
valuable items are listed with specificity, with serial and
model numbers if possible.
Collect serial numbers and model numbers for items
before the movers arrive so they can easily write them
into the inventory. It is the movers’ job to prepare an
adequate inventory. If the movers are uncooperative,
call the transportation office immediately.
The movers will list pre-existing damage to furniture
using a special code that the inventory sheet will explain.
For example “BR 2” may indicate that the bottom of a
piece of furniture is broken. If you disagree with the
description of damage, annotate your disagreement at
the bottom of the inventory. Review the inventory list
carefully before signing it.
High Value Items
Some movers may offer a form to list all items that have
Oct. 27, 2006
http://ima.korea.army.mil/morningcalmweekly 13
a value of $100 or more. Both the client and the carrier
will sign the form. This form will accompany your
shipment and will be reviewed upon delivery of your
goods at your new home. Use of this form to ensure a
$500 MP3 player is indeed packed in that box with the
stuffed animals.
If the mover does not provide a form as part of their
inventory, use your own form, have the carrier review
and sign it, and insist that it be included as part of the
inventory.
After the Move Deadlines: 70 days and 2 years
When the household goods arrive at the new duty station,
inspect the shipment carefully. If any items were lost
or damaged during delivery, be sure to annotate this on
the DD Form 1840, a pink form the movers will give
you before they depart.
After delivery, there’s an additional 70 days to report
any loss or damage discovered once the movers leave.
This can be done on the back of the pink form, labeled
DD Form 1840-R. The pink form must be returned to
the nearest claims office within 70 days of the date the
goods were delivered.
Once the form is turned in, the claims office will give
instructions for filing a claim. Claimants have two years
from the date the goods were delivered to file a claim.
File the claim as soon as possible because failure to file
within the two year time period may result in the claim
being denied.
Taking a few precautions before the move can save a
great deal of stress later. Contact the nearest Army claims
office with any questions about PCS moves. Contact
the Yongsan claims office, located in the Army
Community Services Building, in the Client Legal Services
Office, for information at 738-8111.

(Ryan Phillippe, Adam Beach)
February 1945. Even as victory in
Europe was finally within reach, the
war in the Pacific raged on. One of
the most crucial and bloodiest
battles of the war was the struggle
for the island of Iwo Jima, which
culminated with what would become
one of the most iconic images in
history:The raising of the American
flag on Mount Suribachi. The inspiring
photo capturing that moment

With everything on the line, the Marine

Between the promise and its fulfillment
By Chaplain (Capt.) Robert Gresser The prophet Ezekiel spoke during time of into his very life and existence. The apostle Peter
2-2 Aviation Battalion unfulfilled promises. Israel was defeated and exiled refers to this as “participating in the divine nature.”

T
he Bible is considered a “holy book” by
many faith groups. In it are many
promises. It guarantees a life of prosperity
in a land flowing with milk and honey. It speaks of
peace and happiness. However, we are far from
this reality. Instead of prosperity, we are faced with
hunger and poverty. Instead of peace, we are at
war. Instead of happiness, we are faced with
personal and national tragedies. In short, we live in
the time between the promise and its fulfillment.
The ancient prophet Isaiah lived in an age of
uncertainty. His nation was at war. Yet Isaiah
encouraged his people not to fear. He promised
God’s strength and help. He promised God’s
presence. In the time between the promise and its
fulfillment, God’s presence will accompany us.
to Babylon (modern day Iraq). Written near
Baghdad, the book’s author assures the people that
God is with them even in their captivity. The people
longed to go back to Israel, but until this was
accomplished, God would stay with them in
Babylon.
For Christians, the most radical example of
God’s abiding presence is found in Jesus, the
Christ. Christians believe that Jesus is God made
flesh. Like us, he lived between the promise and its
fulfillment. Yet, his presence among us guarantees
the fulfillment of all God’s promises. Whatever it
means to be human, Jesus experienced birth,
growth, joy, sadness, disappointment, longing, and
eventually death. By and through this radical
identification with humanity, God has brought us
This participation in the divine nature guarantees
that we will experience the fulfillment of all of
God’s promises. By identifying with us in death,
God guarantees we will identify with him in life.
This life is the resurrection. Jesus rose, therefore
we will rise. Death is not the end. Suffering will be
vindicated. Heartache will be healed.
God has participated in our nature by living and
dying in the time between the promise and its
fulfillment. Thus, we will participate in God’s
nature in the time of fulfillment. Because he lives,
we will live.
God will “wipe every tear from our eyes,” and
we will experience the time when “there will be no
more death or mourning or crying or pain.” This is
our hope.

Spooky Hallow comes to Camp Humphreys
Tricks, treats on tap
for Area III ghouls
By Mike Mooney
Area III MWR
CAMP HUMPHREYS – Ghosts, goblins,
witches and ghouls will gather at the Zoeckler
Station Sports Field at Camp Humphreys
Tuesday for the annual Return to Spooky
Hallow Halloween celebration.
Created by Area III Morale, Welfare and
Recreation seven years ago to provide a safe
trick-or-treat environment for children here,
the Return to Spooky Hallow has developed
into one of the most interesting Halloween
celebrations anywhere in the military.
“Spooky Hallow was created because Camp
Humphreys has very limited on-post family
housing that is widely separated,” explained
Director of MWR Dave Watson. “In addition,
Halloween is not a Korean holiday
“We originally held it in the Camp
Humphreys downtown area. It was then
moved to the front of the PX Mall, and then
Daytona West. As the celebration gets bigger
and bigger, so does the space we need. That’s
why we moved to the Zoeckler Sports Field
this year. It gives us more room for a better
Spooky Hallow, including some new
attractions.”
The newest of the attractions this year will

to wander too close to Spooly Hallow at Camp Humphreys
be the BOSS Haunted Woods.
“We’re asking people to park at the Area III
Headquarters parking lot and enter Spooky
Hallow from there,” Watson said. “As they
come across the field, they will reach a fork:
Cowards and small kids will go to the right;
while fools and others to the left where they
will enter the Haunted Woods.”
The cowards and small children will
proceed to the Commander’s Community
Center Building, where they will be greeted by
costumed characters in the G-rated Haunted
The Morning Calm Weekly
House. The fools and others will go through
the Haunted Woods and into 527th Military
Intelligence’s Haunted Maze.
The Intelligence unit will keep the maze
open today through Tuesday as a unit fund-
raiser. However, admission is free for Spooky
Hallow.
The next stop will be the CCC Pavilion,
where children walking-age-through-12 years
old will receive their Spooky Hallow T-shirt,
Trick or Treat bag and the first of their
Halloween goodies – including a bag of blood
and a pumpkin whoopee cushion.
Everyone then proceeds to the Sports Field
where units and private organizations will have
their trick-or-treat booths and attractions.
Trick-or-treating will go to about 6:30 pm,
when everyone will move to the stage for the
Costume Parades and Costume Judging
Contests. The Filipino band, JBL, will be
playing -- in costume, of course.
Camp Humphreys units traditionally operate
trick-or-treat booths at Spooky Hallow. But, in
recent years, Soldiers have gotten very
creative.
“We have had haunted tents, haunted
ambulances, haunted Humvees, graveyards and
even a Nightmare Café where they served
delicacies such as kitty litter balls, worms and
eye balls,” Watson said.

Wolf’s got an ‘ACE In The Hole’
By Senior Airman Stephen Collier
8th Fighter Wing Public Affairs
KUNSAN AIR BASE — Wolf
Pack members got another way to
kick back and relax after a hard day of
work with the Oct. 5 grand opening
of the Wolf’s ACE In The Hole
recreation center.
The center, sponsored by Airmen
Committed to Excellence, offers
entertainment for all Wolf Pack
members. It features four high-speed
internet access computers equipped
with Web cameras, two 60-inch
plasma televisions, a new pool table,
the latest video game consoles and a
juice bar.
The center is “just another step in
the right direction to provide additional
entertainment alternatives for our
deserving Airmen,” said Chief Master
Sgt. Reggie Williams, 8th Fighter Wing
command chief.
“We are part of a community
trying to make a positive difference
in the lives of our Wolf Pack
warriors who are prepared to
sacrifice their lives daily in the
defense of our great nation and the
Republic of Korea,” Williams said.
Funding for the facility -- PACAF
and Kunsan’s first non-alcoholic
facility --was also a challenge, as the
Wolf Pack looked for an opportunity
to create this type of environment. In
early February, the 8th Fighter Wing
prepared the base for inspection as Air
Force Installation Excellence Award
inspectors filed through. They
selected the installation as a finalist for
the annual award.
Although the Wolf Pack didn’t win,
contenders still took home a chunk of
earnings for their base. Out of the
winnings, Col. Jeffrey Lofgren

Humphreys holds quarterly town hall

By Susan Barkley
Area III Public Affairs
CAMP HUMPHREYS – The quarterly Camp
Humphreys Town Hall meeting, held Oct. 17 in the
Community Activity Center, attracted about 75 people
who wanted to hear the latest news about the installation
as well as advising the commander of their issues and
concerns.
Col. Michael J. Taliento Jr., commander, Area III
Support Activity, began the meeting by reviewing issues
from the last town hall held July 18, previewing near-
term changes and then opened the floor to the audience
for new issues, concerns and questions.
George Ricker, Camp Humphreys general manger,
advised the group that the decision to require a Military
Star Card to pay for AFN satellite decoder services
was not made at the local level and cannot be changed
at that level, but said he will continue to research the
issue.
Ricker then listened to comments regarding the
