The December KMC Top 3 General Membership Mee ng is January 28, 2014 at The O’Club on Ramstein. Mee ng starts at 11:30; food is served at 11:00!

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. This was the case on December 12th from 1300‐1630 in the Hercules Theatre. The Total Force Development Council hosted "Storytellers;" an in mate, raw experience of real stories from our peers. The Storytellers event was a huge success and had an impressive turn out. In an email, SMSgt Amber Mitchell said this of the event, “It was AWESOME!!!” The courageous Airmen who shared their stories with the audience indulged in details ranging from abuse, to PTSD and work related issues. The purpose of the second part of this Storytellers series was to encourage other Airmen to share their stories, and to try to get to know other Airmen’s stories too. With this goal in mind, supervisors and coworkers are encouraged to become closer to their peers and troops so they can become more aware if something is going on with that person, or if that person starts ac ng differently at work. With the success of the two Storytellers events so far, we may expect more of these events to follow in the future.

All are invited to a end!

FisherHouseHelpingHands

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 organiza on. This dona on of

your me has such a great impact on the families

and staff of the Fisher Houses and those that will

u lize the facili es 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 facili es and common areas of both

Fisher Houses. This includes cleaning rooms a er

guests have checked out, changing linens,

dus ng, 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

NewNCOPMEReferenceCurriculum

The KMC 5/6 added a new NCO PME Reference Curriculum (1416‐13 PME Defense Curriculum) to the Supervisor Toolbox on the KMC 5/6 SharePoint Site. You can also get to the document directly via this link: h ps://sp2007.ice.usafe.af.mil/sites/kmc5_6/Supervisor%20Toolbox/1416‐13%20 PME%20Defence%20Curriculum_en.pdf Here is the purpose of the document, to give you a reason to check it out! This document is the result of the best inten ons of a mul na onal team of civilian and military academics drawn from 13 countries. The aim of this document is modest. It does not pretend to be comprehensive nor does it purport to be the last word on NCO professional military educa on. Rather, this

document aims to serve as a reference, a star ng off place, for individuals or organiza ons in NATO member states and partner countries looking to develop and/or supplement their NCO professional military educa on (PME). This document in essence is intended as a start of a dialogue within defense academies/schools about the kind of educa on they aspire to have and wish to impart to their NCO corps. It is not intended to be adopted lockstep but rather to be adapted to fit par cular na onal needs and aspira ons. As a reference document this curriculum can serve to increase greater intellectual and professional interoperability within and between partner countries and NATO alliance members.

JingleBellToyTrot5kaHugeHolidaySuccess!

On December 12th at 1400, approximately 81

registered runners plus about 15 kids showed up

to take part in the Jingle Bell Toy Trot at the

South Side Fitness Center on Ramstein Air Base.

It was a chilly day, but we s ll had a good

turn‐out for the run. The registra on for the

event was an unwrapped toy for a child. In total

we received 77 toys with an approximate store

value of around $800.

Originally the toys were going to be donated

to the St. Nikolaus Orphanage in Landstuhl, but

when contacted about the dona on, the

orphanage said they already had far too many

toys to receive any more. So instead, all the toys

were distributed to foster children throughout

the KMC through ACS and BOSS President SGT

Glagola. ACS and BOSS help support about 465

families and 925 children in the KMC area, and

the toys donated at the 5k are going to a great

cause.

A er the 5k, runners and par cipants were

treated to free hot cocoa thanks to the KMC 1st

Four.

RecentLegislativeUpdatesThe AFSA Chapter 1674 on Ramstein Air Base

announced legisla ve updates on November 21,

2013. They’ve picked out the key points for easy

understanding.

. Probable the biggest thing is the ongoing

House‐Senate Budget Commi ee deal on the

NDAA which if passed will avoid a shutdown and

blunt the impact of sequestra on cuts; but lower

military re ree COLAs for re rees under age 62.

The Compromise House‐Senate FY 2014 NDAA

would also give the President his requested 1.0

percent military pay raise‐‐the smallest since the

start of the all‐volunteer force‐‐simply because it

does not address the issue, poten ally opening

the door for the President to con nue using

Execu ve Orders to bypass the law governing

military pay raises. Full text for the highlights is

below.

1. Bipar san Budget Deal Reached;

Proposes Lowering COLAs for Younger Military

Re rees. A bipar san budget deal has been

struck by the joint House‐Senate Commi ee on

the Budget which would lower sequestra on

cuts and avoid a government shutdown in

January. However, it would s ll have to be

passed by the full House and Senate and signed

by the President (who reportedly supports it) to

take effect.

An ar cle in the Army Times reports, “A

bipar san budget deal to avoid another

government shutdown and reduce the impact of

sequestra on over the next two years includes

thorns for working‐age re rees.

“In a move expected to save $6 billion, the

Bipar san Budget Act announced Tuesday by

Sen. Pa y Murray, D‐Wash., and Rep. Paul Ryan,

D‐Wis., calls for reducing annual cost‐of‐living

adjustments for military re rees under the age of

62.

“Working‐age military re rees would receive an

annual pay adjustment [COLA] that is 1

percentage point less than the rise in consumer

prices. For example, the 1.7 percent COLA that

took effect on Dec. 1 and will first appear in

January checks would be just 0.7 percent for

military re rees under age 62 but s ll be 1.7

percent for older re rees if the proposal were

now in effect.

“The COLA reduc on would be phased in three

years. The December 2014 COLA would be

reduced by 0.25 percent, the December 2015

COLA would be reduced by 0.5 percent and the

full reduc on would take effect with the

December 2016 COLA.

“Disability re rees would not have their COLAs

reduced.

“The plan could come to a vote in the House this

week and, if it passes, be taken up by the Senate

next week.”

NEWS05/312100038/Budget‐deal‐would‐reduce‐

COLAs‐military‐re rees

Of the agreement, the two Budget leaders said

this: House Budget Commi ee Chairman Ryan:

“I’m proud of this agreement. It reduces the

deficit—without raising taxes. And it cuts

spending in a smarter way. It’s a firm step in the

right direc on, and I ask all my colleagues in the

House to support it.”

. NDAA Compromise Bill Released; President to

Get his Way on Smaller Military Pay Raise.

Details of a joint House‐Senate compromise FY

2014 Na onal Defense Authoriza on Bill have

been released. A press release from the House

Armed Services Commi ee provides details. A

few of the features of this compromise bill are

listed here:

•A 1 percent pay raise for military members.

•Rejects all Administra on proposals to increase

or establish new TRICARE fees.

•Includes over 30 provisions or reforms to the

UCMJ related to comba ng sexual assault in the

military.

•Establishes a defini on of a gender‐neutral

occupa onal standard to be used by each mili‐

tary service to develop the standards required

for all military career designators.

•Requires a minimum 180‐day no fica on

before the cancella on of a deployment and a

minimum 120‐day no fica on before a

deployment for individuals for the opera onal

reserves.
