3rd Inf. Div. commanding general
Candidly the saddest news that acommander can receive is that a Soldierin his or her charge has fallen. In com-bat, the risks are understood by every member of the team. In garrison, theloss is all the more tragic.
On Sunday, two new Dog FaceSoldiers were returning from TybeeIsland when the car that they were in leftthe road, and crashed. They lost their
lives on a day that should have beenfilled with joy. We are left to determine what went
wrong, learn from mistakes, and takeappropriate action so that this does nothappen again.
We had reached a significant mile-stone. We had gone 200 days without afatality.
As an organization, we
had taken steps to increaseawareness across the force.There are signs on the high- ways to remind drivers of their obligations. There were incentive days off forevery hundred daysreached without a fatality.
We had incorporatedsafety briefings at the low-est levels that were vignettebased. We said that leaders
were to be engaged in thelives of their Soldiers andthat leaders would be in the hearts of their Soldiers.
There were safety videos and anemphasis on planning. And we investedmoney in facilities so that Soldiers couldhave alternate sources of entertainment.
Indeed, we celebrated success, and I
am certain that there was a
formula at work thathelped to decrease the risk of accidents like the onelast Sunday. There is nosuch thing as an unavoid-able accident.
So I ask myself, what went wrong?
We will have help indetermining the cause of this tragic accident. In themeantime we pause and
think of the loved onesthat our Soldiers leftbehind.
The summer months are approach-ing.
Here in Iraq, we consider the risks that we face on every mission. We take stepsto minimize those risks. Every Soldierand every leader wants above all else to
return home wh

One look at your lawn and you immediately know our regionis in a severe drought. Fire danger is at extreme levels, and it’s
likely to become even more dangerous. Fort Stewart’s rainfallover the past 13 months is more than 22 inches below normal,and wild land fire managers say this serious deficit will proba-bly get worse before it gets better.
Combine the drought conditions with the following sce-nario: Fort Stewart Soldiers have been training hard for
activities down range. Installation forestry officials requestedand received assistance from the Georgia Forestry Commission which responded with three bulldozers and fire plows fromsurrounding counties.
The two-agency team was able to bring the fire under control
the following day, and gunnery training resumed. Althoughcontained, the fire was not extinguished, and Forestry Branchmonitored and extinguished threatening flames for the nextcouple of weeks, relieving forestry branch fire crews to assist with other fires off-post with the Georgia Forestry Commissionin Liberty, Chatham and Long counties.

Alcohol is generally considered to be a con-tributing factor in half of all fatal traffic crash-es. As the concentration of alcohol in the
blood increases, the likelihood of a driverbeing involved in a traffic accident increasesgreatly. Safe and efficient driving depends onaccurately identifying elements of the trafficscene, making a correct interpretation of it,and making the proper response.
The effect of alcohol on the physicalresponse of an individual is usually obvious.Reaction time is slowed, coordination isreduced, and their speech may be slurred.
The effect on vision is not so obvious, yet 85to 90 percent of the information we receive
concerning the traffic scene comes throughthe eyes. Without a clear picture, accident freedriving is next to impossible.
How does alcohol affect the seeing process? Alcohol usually has a relaxing effect, resulting in less voluntary controlover all general body mus-cle responses. The delicatecontrol of the fine, discretemuscles, which move andfocus the eyes, is particular-ly affected by alcohol. Alcohol can cause a ten-dency to move the headinstead of the eyes whilefollowing an object.
Light enters the eyethrough the pupil and pass-es through the lens, whichfocuses light rays on the sensitive retina. Anything, which interferes with this operation,
affects the impulses, which are transmitted tothe brain. This in turn affects the clarity of thepicture interpreted by the brain. When the
brain receives a fuzzy picture, it is unable tomake an appropriate response to the traffic
scene. Alcohol reduces control over light
entering the eye. In order to see clearly,the right amount of light must reach theretina. This is controlled by the pupil, which acts like a camera shutter. Theopaque iris (the colored portion of theeye) closes the pupil opening (black area) so that on bright days the pupil isreduced to limit the amount of lightentering the eye and thus protect theretina. At night the pupil is enlarged toallow the maximum amount of light toenter. This process is slowed by alcohol.
Alcohol distorts eye focus. If the muscleresponsible for focusing of images is relaxed
by alcohol, a distortion of light rays appears onthe retina. This interferes with the impulsessent to the brain, resulting in a faulty picture of
the traffic scene. Alcohol reduc

As with most personnel issues the
command does not publicize informa-
tion about specific sexual offenders.
There are, however, state laws and
military regulations with registration
requirements that apply to convicted
sex offenders. The Installation Staff
Judge Advocate published an article in
the March 1 edition of the Frontline
which clarifies how registered sex
offender laws are applied on post.
Director of Public
Works/Govenment Military
HousingQ: Why are some residents not
removing their trash cans from the
sidewalks after the trash has been
icked up? Trash cans are being left
on the sidewalks and residents have
to walk around the cans due to them
blocking the sidewalks. The trash is
being picked up at 9 a.m. What is
being done? At other installations
residents are cited.
A: Per the resident guide, trash and
recycle containers are to be returned to
storage areas after trash and recy-
clables have been emptied. GMH
Quality Assurance is currently citing
residents for not storing containers
properly after pick-up. GMH will
continue to identify and issue discrep-ancy notices for areas that are not in
compliance.
Q: I live on Han Circle. Recently,
th t h t ff t i i
addressed on Feb. 2. As of Feb. 13
the road has been repaired, and an
unserviceable gutter and low hanging
branches were removed. GMH
requests that residents submit work
orders for issues of this nature at 408-
2466 (Stewart) and 259-2147
(Hunter) to ensure it is addressed
promptly.
Directorate of Emergency
ServicesQ: There are crossing guards and
MPs directing traffic, but no one is
being ticketed for speeding.
A: The primary focus of the MPs
supporting the crossing guard program
is to control traffic in and around the
cross walks used by the children to
create a safe environment.
Additionally, MPs run radar at random
locations during the school crossing
guard times to enforce speed limits
and protect the children. The MPs
who run radar are not at
the school crossing
guard program every
day due to traffic acci-
dents and other law
enforcement missions.
Directorate of
Plans TrainingMobilization and
SecurityQ: I live in Bryan
Village South and the
rendered since the Revolutionary War
and play a significant part in a Soldiers
life, basically regulating their work
day. Additionally, turning the volume
down is not an option since the speak-
er systems are tied to the installation’s
early warning system. The EWS is
critical to quickly and accurately noti-
fy all personnel of threats and gives
instructions to assure their safety and
ability to respond. From terrorist
threats to approaching tornados, the
installation must be able to instantly
reach mass audience and targeted indi-
viduals, whether they are outdoors or
inside sound-proof buildings.
DPW/GMHQ: My concern is the playground
behind my residence. The area has
old equipment and it has not been kept up. I do not want my son playing
out there.
A: Playgrounds are inspected on a
regular basis for serviceability, trash,
and graffiti. The playground in ques-
tion was inspected and found to be ser-
viceable with the exception of a bro-
ken swing. The broken swing has
been replaced. In the event that a
playground needs attention prior to
scheduled maintenance, residents can
submit a work order/report deficien-
cies to the GMH work order line at
408-2466 (Stewart) and 259-2147
(Hunter) to initiate repairs/grounds
maintenance.
Q: I have lived here for three and
a half years and I have concerns
about GMH. It is difficult to get
things done and it is frustrating. I
called and no one has returned my
calls. For example, I was told by
maintenance that I did not know how to work the thermostat. I changed the
filters and was told that they were not
put in correctly. I replaced them in
the same way as I
found the old filters.
A: GMH strives to
provide the absolute
best customer service
and quality mainte-
nance repairs to our res-
idents. GMH continues
to emphasize quality
customer care and re-
enforces this by addi-
tional training and
implementing quality
assurance measures. In

My spouse just opened our first checking account. May I also sign the checks?
Normally, if your name is not on the account, you will not beable to sign the checks. If you want to be able to sign checks,the two of you should go to the bank and speak to a bank offi-cer about having your name added to the account.
Our bank is not in the local area and my spouse will be deploying. The account is in my spouse’s name. Does my
power of attorney, which authorizes me to write checks,allow me to pay the bills and get money while my spouse is gone?
While your power of attorney does legally authorize you to write and cash checks, you may have a problem because a bank is not required to accept your spouse's power of attorney. Toprevent a problem, you should immediately contact the bank to see if they will honor the power of attorney. Many banks willonly honor their own special power of attorney and, if this is the
case, you should ask them to send you one. The legal assis-tance office can help you incomple a power of attorney formfrom your bank.
