December 2013
Winter Clothing Drive for the Homeless
Landstuhl had their first bit of
snow on November 21st, and we
can all smell winter in the air. For
many of us, this just means turning
up our heaters; but this isn't the
case for everyone. In light of this,
Sandra Johnson from the 86th
Force Support Squadron is putting
on a drive to collect winter clothing
for the homeless. She’s in need of
Shoes, Jackets, sweaters, pants,
long-johns,
underwear, hats, gloves, etc. This
is a DIRECT way to help the local
community. No need to send your
money or goods off to some
far-a-way place hoping it is going
to good use. If interested in
donating, contact Sandra Johnson
at DSN 480-6035.
Student Targeting and Reinforcing Skills or STARS Students meet once a week on
Wednesday @ 14:45-16:00 to receive tutoring sessions from volunteers who are

December 4th, 11th, 18th
January 8th, 15th, 29th
February 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th
March 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th
April 2nd, 16th, 23rd, 30th

Students will come and receive tutoring/mentoring help in all subjects. Some
subject examples are English/spelling, math, Earth science, and social studies.
There will be 3 groups of students: 3rd, 4th, & 5th grade.
Sessions will meet at Ramstein Intermediate School, and the program is in need of
volunteers to help mentor these young men and women who sacrifice so much for
their military families.

Could you be the Next AFN Star?
Ramstein Intermediate School STARS
The PAZ section of USAFE-AFAFRICA Public
Affairs has been busy creating commercials/
spots for COMUSAFE's priority messages. We
have several more projected in the near fu-
ture. One of the delays to completing the
spots is finding actors. I'm requesting your
help in compiling a pool of volunteers that
would be willing to act in public service an-
nouncements we create for air on AFN. This
is an opportunity for your Airmen to be movie
stars. (or at least AFN stars) Would you
please look within your units and encourage
interested volunteers to provide information
requested below directly to TSgt Oneika
Banks or TSgt Jared Frey. We would like to
compile a contact list so we can speak to each
individual, assess their skills, and determine
their placement in upcoming projects. This
contact list will be used for current and future
projects as they become available. We do not
have specific dates, please advise that shoot
dates will be given once acting assessments
and other coordination has been completed.
If interested, please contact the POC’s listed
with this information:

Airmen Helping Airmen Needs YOUR help!
This is a great opportunity for Airmen
that have been stationed here for a
reasonable amount of time and would
be willing to help new airmen just ar-
riving here at Ramstein AB. This new
organization, that’s attached to the
KMC 1st Four will be looking for people
to recruit and eventually be assigned a
new airman; you will be tasked to be
their mentors. This is similar yet differ-
ent than sponsoring someone in your
unit.
This is an opportunity to help someone with any questions, or advice that you can give
them. For example, what are good bullets toward BTZ, information about the KMCC, or any
questions regarding the military. Is this something you have knowledge on and would be
interested in helping with? If yes, please contact the KMC 1st Four Personal Development
Committee: A1C Albert Marquis, A1C Alexander Collins, or A1C Andrea Williams at

Special Olympic Bowling Tournament
Vogelweh Bowling Center is putting on the annual Special
Olympics Bowling Event for about 85 of their amazing athletes
on December 6th 2013 from 0730 to 1300. This is a great
event and supports the military idea of helping out your local
community.
Last year EFMP funded this event and prior to 2011 it was
funded by the Army. However, due to budget constraints,
there are no funds available and they are attempting to
continue this event on donations only. Due to this, we need
lots of volunteers and donations to make this great event
happen. Right now, the event needs volunteers during the
event, and it needs people to volunteer to be buddies for the
athletes. These people would be there to cheer on the
athletes and give them a helping hand if they need it. If you’re
interested in volunteering, donation, or cheering on the athletes, you can contact Melody
Ticebaird at [email protected] or call DSN 480-8992.

The December KMC Top 3 General Membership Meeting is December 17, 2013 at The O’Club on Ramstein. Meeting starts at 11:30; food is served at 11:00!
Do you know of someone who has overcome a personal or professional obsta-cle, someone who perhaps tackled their inner demons? Have you or a peer lost a troop to suicide or are you dealing with PTSD? Has someone experienced a personal loss of a child or colleague? As General Welsh said, "Every Airman has a story" and, in today's busy world and Air Force, seldom do we hear these stories from the source. Help us seek out these individuals that are willing to share their inspirational personal stories in a relaxed setting. The Total Force Development Council will be hosting "Storytellers;" an intimate, raw experience of real stories from our peers. The Storytellers event will be on 12 December, from 1300-1630 in the Hercules Theater. The last Storytellers event was a huge success and had an impressive turn out, let’s help these Airmen share their stories in a comfortable environment by giving them our support. If you’re interested in attending, contact SMSgt Paige Collins or MSgt Adeboyega Adeyemo, or email the [email protected] to reserve your spot.

Upcoming “Ring the Bell” Campaign
KMC Top 3 Upcoming Events and Opportunities
Airman’s Attic Needs Volunteers!
The Airman’s Attic needs
volunteers every Tuesday
through Friday from
11-1300. Each day has 10
volunteer slots available.
You can even volunteer as
an entire unit too! If
interested in volunteering,

“Let’s Connect” Women’s Mentorship
This event is a mentorship
luncheon for female service
members. This months is on
Tuesday, December 10th from
1130-1300 at the Golf Course on
Ramstein. The event is free, but
you can show up at 1100 and buy
lunch there as well. Register at
mil.
Also, on December 10th,
female dorm residents can “Get
Connected” to each other at 1800
at Dorm 2418. This event offers
free food for female dorm
residents!
The time is rapidly approaching to kick off this year's Ring the Bell
campaign! For those unfamiliar with the Ring the Bell program, it's similar
to the Salvation Army Red Kettle program; with 100% of the proceeds going
towards Airmen families in need through Operation Warmheart. For example, some
families may receive gift cards for the commissary, enabling them to enjoy a
home-cooked meal. Last year was a huge success and with your help an
amazing $20K was raised!
The campaign will run on Saturdays and Sundays for three consecutive
weekends beginning 30 Nov and ending 15 Dec. The stations will be at the
KMCC food court entrance, KMCC barber shop entrance, and the Ramstein
Commissary. The Top 3 is organizing this, and need lots of volunteers! If you'd like to
volunteer please contact MSgt Shay Thomas at 0151-6113-2584, or MSgt Ryan
Thuyns at 0151-4140-3197. If you’re more tech-savy, you can sign up to volunteer at
the link below, under the file titled “Ring the Bell Roster 2013”.

General Membership Meeting
The next KMC 5/6
General Membership
Meeting is on
5 December, 2013 at
1130 at the O’Club on
Ramstein Air Base. The
Education Center on
base has been
requested to come and
talk about the changes
to Tuition Assistance for
Fiscal Year 2014, if any.
All are invited to attend!
Fisher House Helping Hands
Next General Membership Meeting will be held on 5 Dec 13, Ramstein O-Club
(Downstairs Dining room). Our guest speaker will be CMSgt Sonia Lee who will speak
with the NCOs on Air Force Special Duty Vectoring Opportunities and how this new
selection process affects NCOs. This topic falls in line with AFI 36-2618, Enlisted Force
Structure, Item 4.1.15: “Pursue opportunities and encourage subordinates to retrain
into Air Force shortage career fields and serve in special duties such as military
training and PME instructor, and recruiter, when appropriate, to balance the force,
enabling the Air Force to meet mission requirements.”
The KMC 5/6 has adopted the Landstuhl Fisher
Houses I and II as one of their Special Projects.
This is a great volunteer opportunity to help
out a wonderful organization. This donation of
your time has such a great impact on the families
and staff of the Fisher Houses and those that will
utilize the facilities in the future. This example of
selflessness reduces a lot of stress from the
shoulders of the Fisher House staff.
As volunteers we provide manning for daily up
keep of the facilities and common areas of both
Fisher Houses. This includes cleaning rooms after
guests have checked out, changing linens,
dusting, mopping and cleaning restrooms.
Volunteers would meet in the Lobby of Fisher
House II at 0845, and meet with the friendly staff
about what needs to be accomplished that day.
The cleaning tasks are usually very easy to
accomplish in under 2 hours if there are enough
volunteers! The house usually cannot
handle more than 10 people for both
houses though.
If you’re interested in volunteering, contact
Tsgt Steven McKinney at
[email protected] or 480-3718.

The 1st Four BROKE the Record, Thanks to you!
On November 8th, 2013 at around 1400, people
from all over the Kaiserslautern Military
Community met up to boost morale with a
unique goal in mind. That goal was to break the
Guinness Book of World Records’ record for most
people consecutively doing push-ups for one
minute.
The previous record for this category was
352 people, achieved by Laboratorios Silanes S.A.
de C.V. (Mexico) at Bosque de Tlalpan Park in
Mexico City, Mexico, on 20 October 2012.
The event started outside at the South Side
Fitness Center Softball Fields, but as the rain
came down, the participants came inside the
gym annex. As people registered, we eventually
got over the required 352 people and continued
to get more! The rough estimate for the final
number of people was 416 people! Based off our
count, we did INDEED beat the Guinness Book of
World Records previous record.
However, the KMC 1st Four still needs to
complete an extensive amount of paperwork and
documents to guarantee to Guinness that we
have integrity and beat the record. Typically, in
the states, we would have an actual Guinness
Judge to verify the record, but since we didn’t
have one of those people, we have to have
witnesses, videos, photos, ticket stubs, and more
to prove it. Once all the paperwork is completed
and sent in, we will get the final thumbs up from
Guinness saying we hold the record! Thank you
to everyone for showing your support and
showing up! Congratulations for being a
Guinness Record Holder!

Jingle Bell Toy Trot 5k Needs Your Help!
The KMC 1st Four has already started the planning
process for a Jingle Bell Toy Trot 5k! This will be a
shared event with the South Side Fitness Center, and
it will be a toy raising event for Toys for Tots. The 5k
will be on December 12th at 1400, and the
registration fee will be an unwrapped gift for a child in
need.
The date is set for the event, but we still need a lot of help from volunteers. We will have a
booth set up in the KMCC advertising the event and getting people to sign up. We will plan to
have people sit there from 1100-1300 on Monday’s through Thursday’s; and on Fridays/
Saturdays we will have two shifts from 1000-1200 and 1200-1400. How much easier could it
get?! Just sit at a booth, collect gifts, and spread the word about this great 5k event.
We will also need 12-15 people for road guard and water station duty for the day of the
event. They will need to report on 12 December at 1300 for duty. The 5k event will also be
providing free hot cocoa for participants thanks to the KMC 1st Four.
If you’re interested in volunteering for this event, contact A1C Audrey Denisyeva at

Recent Legislative Updates
The AFSA Chapter 1674 on Ramstein Air Base
announced legislative updates on November 21,
2013. They’ve picked out the key points for easy
undersanding.
. First, the Senate voted to take up the 2014
National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and
immediately stalled, having only reviewed a few
of the amendments offered by the house, it is
unlikely that much progress will be made before
the congressional break for the holidays. Second,
the Air Force has released guidance on the
Survivor Benefits Plan for same-sex marriages.
Additionally, they announced some
December and January key fiscal Deadlines.
·December 13: The bipartisan House-Senate
budget conference committee presents its fiscal
recommendations.
·December 16: Congress is scheduled to begin its
holiday recess through the end of the year.
·December 31: Look for news regarding a
possible civilian pay increase around this time, or
an extension of the pay freeze, now in its third
year.
They January Key Fiscal Deadlines have also been
identified and are listed below. These are BIG
ones.
·January 1: Federal employees will get a 1
percent across-the-board pay raise, the first such
raise in three years, unless Congress blocks it.
Military members will also get a 1 percent pay
raise unless Congress completes the FY 2014
National Defense Authorization Act and
overrules the President’s desire to reduce the
military pay raise from 1.8 percent [called for by
law] to 1.0 percent.
·January 15: The current continuing resolution
funding the government expires and the
automatic cuts under sequestration take effect
for fiscal 2014 on this date, unless Congress
changes the law before then. Agencies likely will
start announcing furlough plans soon after, if the
sequester remains in place. . . DoD has said it
might have to resort to laying off civilian employ-
ees..

Amsterdam Black History Tour a Success!
11/18/2013 - 50 personnel from the
Kaiserslautern Military Community
recently participated in a cultural
excursion to Amsterdam, the capital and
most populous city of the Netherlands.
The trip took place on 2 November and
was coordinated by the
Kaiserslautern
African-American Heritage
Committee. A wide
representation of the KMC
populace took part in the
experience. Attendees were
from multiple cultural and
social backgrounds to include
local school administrators,
military members, and
dependents with ages ranging
from 5 to 45 years of age.
"The African-American Heritage
Committee is an all-inclusive organization
that welcomes all ethnicities and cultural
backgrounds”, said AAHC President Kevin
Brown. "This was a great opportunity to
provide cultural context in examining
African diaspora in the Netherlands. We
were fortunate to be in a location here in
Europe that offered this unique
experience.”
The Black Heritage Amsterdam Tour
included a three hour guided excursion,
led by Amsterdam Black Heritage Tour
owner, Jennifer Tosch, an Amsterdam
resident of Suriname descent. The tour
began with an introduction at the
National Slave Monument and included a
one hour museum tour with a walk
through of a 17th century cargo ship that
would have been outfitted to transport
slaves from West Africa in route to the
Dutch Colonies. During the ship tour,
attendees were informed on the
arrangement and living conditions of the
human “cargo” that took up to six
months to deliver from Africa to the
colonies. During this portion of the tour,
many members expressed sadness and
grief in hearing the conditions of the
slaves during
transport. “I found it really upsetting, I
was hurt, I was angry”, replied Chaunda
Wharton, when asked how the exhibit
made her feel.
After departing the ship, the group
entered the adjoining museum exhibit
located inside the National Maritime
Museum, entitled “The Dark Chapter.”
The exhibit examined the slave trade
from a maritime perspective, including
exploring a compelling story of a lost
slave ship called the Leusden. Following
the exhibit, the group boarded a canal
vessel to tour the “Hidden History” of
Amsterdam. The group was introduced to
many landmarks, such as Moors Heads on
buildings that identified various
businesses and families directly linked to
the Slave Trade. The canal tour passed
many famous landmarks of the city to
include, the Nemo museum and the
world famous Seven Bridges.
The tour concluded with the group
participating in a Libation ceremony,
ritual representing an offering in memory
of those who have died. One attendee
was inclined to share before departure,
“To be here today to witness and discover
the parallels of these people and my
ancestors was a great experience and a
testament to the triumph of the human
spirit.” 8
