Show your patriotismThe Fourth of July, or Independence Day, is a federal holiday that celebrates the adoption

of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Here at Fort Campbell, we celebrate it with agreat carnival, music, fun and the best fireworks show around. Inside this issue, you’ll find information about this year’s carnival, fireworks and July 4th festivities. I really love the fact theClarksville always holds their Independence Day celebration on July 3rd. That way, we all can enjoyboth of them! After the celebrations are over, there’s still a lot to do here. July is a great time to livein this area. There are so many opportunities for outdoor recreation and Family activities – there’sno reason to sit inside the house and watch TV or play video games. Grab your friends, gather yourFamily; and find something fun to do! If you need help planning a vacation or a staycation, just contact Leisure Travel Services and let them assist you. While you are out and about, try a few ofthe suggestions from the BOSS President, SGT Robert Mitchell, on 101 ways to be patriotic. Enjoy your Summer because it always goes by faster than we think it will.

“You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns,tanks, and Soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with Family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.” ~ Erma Bombeck

Local Independence Day CelebrationsIn the Know

Blazing fast vehicles tricked out with acrazy hyped-up sound system would draw allkinds of people to the popular parking lot carand audio shows, according to Soldiers stationed here at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

“I would put (audio) systems and custom designed seats in my ride,”SPC Kimberly R. Payne said.

Payne is the Treasurer for the BetterOpportunities for Single Soldiers (BOSS) program here at Fort Campbell. While Paynesaid she is not much of a car show fanatic, shesaid she would be more likely to attend this typeof event if a famous talent accompanied the show.

“It would probably be a big turnout if you brought in someone famous like the rapper 50 Cent. You gotta have a concert, asound system, a decked out interior…like you’dsee on MTV’s ‘Pimp My Ride’,” she explained.

Popular talent like 50 would be moreof a draw than the cars themselves, according

to Payne. “Famous singers and rappers wouldmake for a great outing and a pleasurable timeoutside of the house, to get out and enjoy andto mingle among other Single Soldiers.”

Payne said if given the chance to trick-out her car, she would “get a 2014 blackChevy Camaro, deck it out with 22-inch rims andput a serious BOSE surround sound system in itthat would blast the hottest hip hop and R&Bmusic on the Billboard charts.”

The BOSS program at Fort Irwin didjust that recently with a car and audio show inJune of this year that featured Grammy-awardwinning rapper, Ludacris.

That event, the “Cali Swag Car Show”featured vehicles judged indifferent categories such asthe Top 20 Cars, Top 10Bikes, Top 10 Trucks, SpecialAward, People’s ChoiceAward and Best of Show.

Hailing from LosAngeles, California, FortCampbell BOSS Vice President Joshua R. Charlesis fan of the low-riding vehicle rather than thesouped-up Honda, Camaroor Escalade typically seen atparking lot car shows.

Lowriders, Charlessaid, are usually older cars outfitted with fancymechanical equipment to make it bounce.

“Lowriders are different. They consistof anything older than the 1980s - like Oldsmobile Cutlass Supremes, and Buick Regals. The main cars are usually cars from the40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s,” he said.

Charles said the older the car, the better the low rider classification. These cars aredropped and equipped with hydraulic systemsthat quickly lift the cars up and down.

“These cars will sometimes ride as lowas three to four inches off of the ground. Theybecame famous during the seventies and eighties,” he said.

Charles has seen some low riders hereat Fort Campbell, but not many.

Past shows have featured a combina-tion event where cars and their sounds systemswere judged. On average, 80 to 120 vehiclesparticipated in the car show portion of the eventand 30 to 55 cars participated in the audio portion of the event. The last show included carsand trucks. Winners were awarded trophies forplacing 1st, 2nd and 3rd in 25 categories suchas Best of Show, Best Car Club Showing andPeople’s Choice. Cash prizes were also awardedfor best performers.

On the first Friday of every month,from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Memory Lane Cruisersholds “Cruisin’ the Riverside” behind O’ReillyAuto Parts on Riverside Drive in Clarksville. Thisis an event that the entire Family can enjoy. Onthe first Saturday of every month, from 5 p.m. to9 p.m., they meet at Governor’s Square Mall,near the Food Court and Sears Auto Center.Each month they spotlight different vehicles. OnJuly 6, they’ll have a special space reserved forCorvettes. They also feature a DJ with Oldiesmusic and a 50/50 cash drawing. These are justa couple of the many Parking Lot Car Shows thatMemory Lane Cruisers holds. You can find moreinformation about Memory Lane Cruisers atwww.memorylanecruisers.net.

We’re finally nearing the end ofa long wait for America's favorite sport –FOOTBALL! NFL training camps are the official start to the new season. Therearen’t any official games or even exhibition games until August, so this is aless interesting part of the season for thecasual fan. However, every year aroundJuly is the most important partof the year for the owners,coaches and players.

Training camps are pivotal for front office personneland coaches; deciding whichplayers will be a good fit to puttheir team on the road to winning a Super Bowl. Eachteam must trim an eighty manroster down to fifty-three players by the end of the summer, usually around oneweek before the first regularseason game. Probably thetoughest job for the coachesand front office is telling aplayer he is cut from the team -crushing his dream. This playercan only hope to get anotherchance, either with a differentteam or on a practice squad, patiently waiting for his time totake the field in a real game andprove his worth.

This time is also usedfor coaches to stress their gameplan to the players. Whether you are aseasoned coach like New England Patriots Bill Belichick or a newly acquiredcoach making his head coaching debutin the NFL like Chicago Bears Marc Trestman, the challenges can be difficult.They may be bringing a new style to aveteran team or teaching new playerstheir methods.

Training Camp is even more important to the players. This is the timeto show everyone why you deserve to beon the final team of fifty-three men: themen who will fight together all year forthe same goal of becoming a champion.Rookies use training camp to prove whythey are ready to take the next step intheir career and play in the NFL, earningthe million dollar contracts they weregiven back in May during the NFL draft.Veteran players, who have been around

the league for years and know the rou-tine, use training camp to get back toregular season shape and get used to thespeed of the game again. The best opportunity for a young player to makethe roster can be special teams. Specialteams are made up of 11-man units thatspecialize in specific areas of play. Four

special teams units exist: the group ofplayers that handles punts, kickoffs andpunt returns; the unit that handles fieldgoals and extra point attempts; thegroup that takes care of kickoff returns;and the unit that attempts to block fieldgoal and extra point attempts. Whetheryou are covering kickoffs or blocking forfield goals, many players are on the teamjust for these specific plays.

In 1976, then new head coach ofthe Philadelphia Eagles, Dick Vermeil, decided to have an open tryout invitinganyone who thought they could play inthe NFL to compete for a chance to join training camp and have a shot of playingfor the Eagles. It was thought to be justa publicity stunt to get fans excitedabout the upcoming season but oneman, Vince Papale, was chosen to jointraining camp and became a member of

the Philadelphia Eagles for three seasons. Papale made his mark on special teams. This was a fairy tale thatcame true and such a feel-good storythat it was even made into a movie in2006; “Invincible” starring MarkWahlberg as Vince Papale. But don't gettoo excited and start doing wind sprints

in your back yard getting ready for thisyear’s tryouts. It was a once in a lifetimething and no other person has made ateam through open tryouts since. If youwant to give the NFL $275 (the cost of anopen tryout) and risk embarrassment,you are more than welcome to give it atry - like kicker Katie Hnida who becamethe first female to try out for an NFLteam, but only lasted two kicks - missingboth by a far margin. You might want toleave the training camps to the rookiescoming out of college and the pros whoknow what it takes to make it in the NFL.

Training camps might not be themost exciting part of the season for thefans, but it is the most important part ifyou want your team to succeed in theregular season and be prepared to contend for a Super Bowl title.

Spotlight on MWR

I first heard the term “mancave” in 2009while watching I Love You, Man and thought to myself “who wouldn’t want a sweet garage full ofcool stuff in their house?” Too bad many of us donot have the funds or space to assemble such amancave in our homes. Luckily, here at Fort Campbell, you do not have to look too far to findthe ultimate mancave. The Zone, located on 3910Indiana Avenue, is Fort Campbell’s very own mancave and is the ideal place for the high energygaming and entertainment experience.

Formerly known as Froggy’s Sports Bar,The Zone underwent a nearly yearlong $720,000renovation and opened its doors to the public inAugust 2011. Fort Campbell needed a place whereSoldiers can escape from stresses of military life andThe Zone was designed to fill that need.

Unlike many other Family and Morale,

Welfare and Recreation (MWR) facilities, all patronsmust be at least eighteen years of age to enter thebuilding. In the main area, patrons can sit at one ofthe nine gaming stations. All stations are equippedwith 55” LCD high definition (HD), flat screen televisions and gaming chairs. The gaming chairshave several features, such as built-in speakers andAFM technology vibration, which give players theability to immerse themselves into the game. Patrons are allowed to bring their own games orborrow one, free of charge, from The Zone’s gamelibrary – which has been sponsored and kept fresheach month by USAA. In addition, there is an arcade area where patrons can play games or shootpool at one of the four billiards tables.

The Zone possesses other unique components which embody “the ultimate mancave” label. Around the main area, the facility

has over ten flat screen televisions on the walls aswell as five HD projector screens. The numeroustelevisions and projector screens make The Zonethe perfect location for watching major sportingevents. In the past, The Zone has hosted viewingparties for the NFL Super Bowl, NCAA March Madness and UFC Fight Nights.

Furthermore, the venue is fully equippedto host live entertainment acts. Musical artists suchas 101Rock, the 101st Airborne Division rock band;dueling pianos group Shake, Rattle & Roll; and theFort Campbell 2012 Operation Rising Star contestants have graced the Zone stage. More recently, the Operation Comedy tour brought established comedians Tony Roberts, Jon Stitesand Todd McComas to The Zone in May. Specialevents are often free to attend, although someevents have entry fees and VIP opportunities so patrons can get more bang for their buck.

For those looking for a more privateviewing experience, there are two movie theaterrooms. Guests can get the full cinema experiencewithout going to the local movie theater. Each theater room has surround sound system andtwelve leather recliners with built-in “butt kickers”and cup holders. Patrons can bring their ownmovies to watch or rent a movie from the on-siteInsta-Flix machine.

Although it is known for its high energyelements, The Zone is also an ideal place for Soldiers and Civilians to relax. The Zone is a hotspot to grab lunch or dinner at its café and bar. Thecafé offers a bar area and a menu including tastyappetizers, specialty pizzas, burgers, sandwichesand adult beverages (patrons must be age 21 andover to drink alcohol). On a typical day, many patrons will sit in the main area, enjoy a meal and utilize The Zone’s free Wi-Fi service and internet jukebox.

What makes The Zone a unique place isthat it distinguishes itself from other “WarriorZone”-like facilities. While it is sometimes mistakenas a Warrior Zone, The Zone offers an escapism element which Warrior Zones do not. Patrons willnever see any Army memorabilia or decorationsdisplayed inside the building. This provides Soldiersthe opportunity to temporarily step away from military life in a safe and nearby environment.

The Zone is located at 3910 Indiana Avenue. Their hours of operation are Sunday toThursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to midnight. You will also find TheZone open normal hours on holidays! For more information about The Zone and its upcoming spe-cial events, please visitwww.fortcampbellmwr.com,www.facebook.com/fortcampbellmwr, or call(270) 461-0603.

Couponers’ strategies are changing.They are not confined to only clipping theSunday newspaper’s inserted coupons andrunning to the store with their coupon stash. More consumers search online for couponsand good deals on websites like Groupon,LivingSocial, and Retailmenot, just to name afew. This enables them to extend their savingsand become more frugal shoppers.

The vast number of websites andservices available online can be overwhelm-ing. Signing up for every daily e-mailing listsor coupon offers could be disastrous. Thebest places to start are the stores where you routinely shop. Use websites that allow you tocustomize your search options and tailor yourshopping to your specific needs. This willkeep the websites you shop at down to a manageable number. Make sure that thewebsite links are correct and that the websiteuses a secure service for payment. Signing upon illegitimate websites could expose yourpersonal or financial information. This causesa security issue and could result in computerrepairs or identity theft recovery.

Do not feel pressuredinto using coupons to buyproducts you’re not shoppingfor. Remember to spend yourmoney on the items you need,not just because you havecoupons for them. Just because something is on saledoes not mean that purchasewill still fit in your budget.

Your home printercould be key to capturingsome good deals. After findingthat 40% off coupon on the perfect Christmas gift for dadis not the time to discover thatyour printer is out of ink orpaper. Attempting to print aone-time deal when yourprinter is not ready could leadyou to missing out on some great deals. Understand any limitations that the stores you shop at may have on accepting printedonline coupons and any limitations on multiple purchases.

Keeping these tips in mind can keepyou financially safe while you save. For moreinformation about online couponing, contactthe ACS Financial Readiness Program at(270) 798-5518.

Fly Past the CHAOS

www.fortcampbellmwr.com

by Tara Goodson

If you had a chance to attendthe ReTreat Round Robin during FortCampbell Military Spouse AppreciationWeek this year, you are familiar with the FlyLady, Marla Cilley. Marla is thefounder of a self-help group that offersadvice on housekeeping and organizing.Like the military, Marla has an abundance of acronyms; the best knownone is CHAOS.

Can’tHaveAnyoneOverSyndrome

It happens, to all of us. We getbusy with deployments, trainings, work,volunteering, and children. Tacklingchores becomes just that - a chore. Nextthing you know, you cannot allow anyoneto see the mess your home has become.Following the tips and advice from Marla,you can transform your home into thehaven you deserve. If you didn’t have achance to attend, don’t fret…we have thetips here.

BabySteps and RoutinesBabySteps are one of the FlyLady’s main concepts for getting your home and life inorder. Her list of BabySteps will take you through a series of 31 small daily tasks which introduce and then reinforce aspects of cleaning and de-cluttering; building up to creating personalized routines for morning, afternoon and evening.

Shine Your SinkMarla asserts that even in a messy kitchen, the cleaned-out and pol-ished sink provides positive reiforce-ment to the person who cleaned it, encouraging further cleaning in the rest of the room and home.

15 Minutes at a TimeMarla recommends using a timer andto work for only 15 minutes at a time.The short time commitment helps stop procrastination, and reduces opportunities to get sidetracked or bored.

Clutter Cannot Be OrganizedMarla recommends that her followersget rid of excess items in their homes,

and bring in fewer items, rather thanattempting to organize them. This de-cluttering is done 15 minutes at a time. One such exercise is FlyLady's “27-fling Boogie,” in which the follower quickly selects 27 items in their home to discard or give away.

Weekly RoutinesMarla advises the use of weekly routines, whereby each weekday is assigned an additional task or focus; Monday is daily cleaning, Wednesday is errand day, Thursday is grocery day and Friday is desk day, focusing on paperwork and finances, as well as the day to de-clutter the car.

Weekly Home BlessingMarla’s adaption of the Pam Young and Peggy Jones’ “Slipshod Cleaning” is the one-hour housecleaning mission called the weekly home blessing. Using timers, followers are instructed to vacuum, dust, mop, empty trash, change bed sheets and clean up old magazines. Each task is allocated ten minutes only.

Get Dressed to ShoesMarla insists that her followers get dressed to lace-up shoes before beginning their housekeeping tasks. “With shoes on those feet of yours, your mind says, Okay, it’s time to go to work.”

ZonesMarla divides a house into five sections or zones, which are allocated

to the five weeks or partial weeks of the month. You can break your house into whatever zones you choose, she uses the entrance, front porch and dining room as Zone 1, the kitchen is Zone 2, the main bathroom and one other room in the house is Zone 3, the master bedroom is Zone 4 and the living room is Zone 5. Each day, spend 15 minutes working in your zone for that week and you’ll start to notice the positive changes. If you sign up for the FlyLady emails, then each day you will receive a “mission” with a detailed cleaning task in the current zone. These can be used until you establish your own zones and routines.

Control JournalMarla advises the use of a Control Journal, a household management notebook or binder, to store the owner's routines, lists and other important household information.

FlyLady RemindersDaily reminders of the routines, zones and missions, as well as testimonials of the system and products, are sent to subscribers of the FlyLady list.

Perfectionism leads to ProcrastinationFlyLady asserts that the most frequent reason for procrastination and inefficacy is perfectionism, as people won't start a task if they think they don't have the time or the ability to do it perfectly. Some frequently repeated sayings in this respect include: “good enough is good enough” or “housework done incorrectly still blesses your Family”.

No WhiningMarla often repeats that her website, chat room and Facebook page are “No Whining Zones” and that “If you can’t say anything nice, say nothing at all”.

With the advice given here andon her website, www.flylady.net, you cantake the stress and CHAOS out of yourlife and enjoy your home and Family.

Cave men of yesteryear are not muchdifferent than men today. The pursuit of speedand power may have started with a race down asnow covered mountaintop on a fur pelt. Noprize, no reward and no justification- just simplebragging rights for whoever won the race. Thatkind of mentality hasn’t changed. We still havethe need for speed and power, only now we useour cars instead of pelts.

It wasn’t until 1955, when Chrysler released the C-300, that we finally had the blueprints for a muscle car. A huge engine withplenty of horsepower placed into a smaller,lightweight car body fulfilled every speeddemon’s fantasies. Aptly named, the C-300 developed 300 horsepower from a 5.4L (331 cubic inch) V-8. Chevrolet responded withtheir world famous second generation1958 “Tri-Power” model developing315HP. Not to be out done, Ford released its Starliner series producing375HP in 1961. The race had beguncreate and sell the best muscle car.

With the spread of stock carracing, manufacturers now had dynamic showrooms filled withprospective clients. The saying, “Winon Sunday, sell on Monday!” becamethe motto for all car salesmen. GTOdesigner John Delorean began assessing what kind of person woulddrive each brand or type of car. Compared to other GM managers who used demographic data and buyer surveys, Deloreanset the standard high. He marketed the Pontiacbrand to the younger buyer with a decent job(and paycheck), who was looking for a bit of excitement. In doing so, he essentially identified the ideal muscle car driver. With theintroduction of the 1964 GTO option, Deloreanbypassed normal GM channels and added ahuge engine, high performance tires and an offthe shelf Hurst shifter, making this model a driver’s car. GM management feared this newcar would overshadow their flagship model andforced Pontiac to only release 5000 of the design. They also priced the car as a high dollaroption available by special order only to drivesales to their other models. Within months of release, 30,000 orders were placed! Suddenly an affordable, high powered, well performing car was available to the averageperson. The foundation for the Muscle Car erahad been laid.

Next, Chrysler releasedthe Dodge Charger, Challenger,and the Plymouth Roadrunnerwithin a few short years. Theymade up for the late arrival tothe market with unbeatablepower plants like the 440 Magnum and 426 Hemi. Ford developed a similar way of think-ing by offering the Mustang in1965. While cheaper, lighter, andbetter looking than its counter-parts, it wasn’t as powerful. Inthe late 1960s, the unforgettableCarol Shelby worked with Ford to release theShelby KR powered by a 428 Cobra Jet. TheMuscle Car era was officially in full swing. By the

end of 1970, increasing insurance costs and asudden gas shortage put a strangle hold on theMuscle Car. Fast forward 20 years and most ofthe first generation Muscle Car owners are parents with teenagers. The time was right for a

second generation of Muscle Car drivers. Ableto develop similar power numbers while complying with stricter regulations and smallerdisplacement, these newer models bridged thegap between parent and child. Speed anotherfive years down the road and it’s like the late1960s again. It’s not difficult at this time to finda Challenger, Camaro, or Mustang at any stoplight. Once more, the Big Three are makingstreet eating machines with power levels onlydreamed about in the 1960’s.

What began as a marketing techniquedesigned to appeal to the younger buyer in themid 1960s ended up creating a bond parentsand children have for the love of speed and affordability. The Muscle Car era helped shapewhat the American Motorist would come to expect from today’s cars. Although the look of amuscle car has changed, designers today haveplaced subtle features that trace their lineageback to the first generation. Look for the sleeklines of a Camaro or the large wheel base of aChallenger and you will see the ghosts in the

designs. In today’s market weno longer have Chevelle, Starliner, or Roadrunner, butwe have their cousins. It’s notuncommon to find more than400HP clad in new body panels that resemble thosedays of old. With the additionof the Pony Car segment, wehave a second generation ofthe big muscle, lightweightcar mentality. Thanks to designers like John Delorean,Carol Shelby, and others, wewill always have a standardwith which to judge these newcontenders.

Home Town Hero

SGT Nicole Kline is a rare sight amongher fellow Soldiers. She is one of 22 females currently assigned to 160th SOAR(A). In itself,that is an accomplishment, but SGT Kline is notone to talk about herself. As is the commontheme with the Night Stalkers, her focus is onteamwork and what she can do to help a fellowSoldier. She was chosen as July’s HometownHero based on her First Sergeant’s assessmentof her being a great Soldier who has proven herskill in Garrison and downrange. Currently she isassigned as the Property Book Office NCOIC atthe Regiment Headquarters level, but is lookingforward to the expansion ofMOS’s, available to females in the160th SOAR(A), into the line units.Sitting down to get a bit of insightto what it is like to be a female inthe 160th SOAR(A) communitymade me realize, SGT Kline is similar to any other Soldier as-signed there regardless of gender.

MWR Life: Why did you enlist inthe Army?

Kline: I enlisted in the Army to dosomething exciting with my life, totravel and see the world, but mostimportantly to serve my country.Within my first four years I got todo just that and even more. TheArmy has been very good to me. I enlisted in the Army when I wasonly 23 years old and I thought I was a grown woman already! I thank the Army for STILL helpingme learn and grow into the Soldier and leader that I am today.I am far more confident, responsi-ble and a better team player now.It took a bit but I realized that I amnot capable of taking on every-thing by myself. I learned to relyon my teammates to achieve acommon goal. Assessing for the160th SOAR(A) solidified the need for teamwork.

MWR Life: How do you feel the military hashelped you become the person you are today?

Kline: Prior to enlisting, I was fairly quiet; moreof an observer instead of an active participant.The Army has taught me to get out of my

bubble, to challenge myself and to becomehealthier then I was prior to enlisting.

MWR Life: What inspired you to join the Army?I was in a Young Marines program in school fora short time and enjoyed it. But my daily life iswhat inspired me. I was tired of doing the samething every single day; I felt I wasn’t making anyforward progression. I knew I was ready forchanges and challenges. That is exactly what I got and more! My mom initially thought I wasjoking when I told her I was joining the Army, butonce I left to go to the MEPS station, she

realized I was serious. She has been supportivefrom that moment on and has been my biggestsupporter? Whether it was through basic, AIT or selection process, she has encouraged me togo after what I want to achieve.

MWR Life: What do you feel have been some ofyour greatest accomplishments since you havebeen in the service?

Kline: A few of my greatest accomplishmentshave been moving up in ranks and making my Family proud. It’s such a great feeling of accomplishment to know that you are movingforward. There is nothing like making Mamaproud! Mentoring Soldiers, seeing them get pro-moted and become leaders is always very hum-bling.

MWR Life: During your career, wasthere someone in your leadership whoreally inspired or mentored you, maybesomeone who helped drive you to be abetter Soldier?

Kline: I have met amazing people in theArmy but there are a few leaders I willalways be thankful for. Most do not realize the impact of taking their personal time to mentor and their dedication to train upcoming leaderslike myself. SGM Chris Kaus for challenging me, SFC Jill Guilfoyle formolding me from a junior enlisted Soldier into a Non Commissioned Officer, and SFC Cain Bassett for alwayssharing his knowledge and career opportunities in the Quartermasterfield. These three leaders had a hugeimpact on me and my career.

MWR Life: How many times have youdeployed and what are some of themajor differences you notice from yourfirst deployment to the next?

Kline: I have deployed three times. I served a 15 month deployment withan Engineer Company supportingCrater Repair in Tikrit, Iraq; 11 monthswith a Sustainment Brigade in Q-West,Iraq and lastly I supported NATOForces in Bagram, Afghanistan. Allthree were very different; from the liv-ing arrangements such as living in a two

man CHU then living in an eight man B-Hut, tothe mission at hand. Each group and Unit ofpeople I deployed with was different. In myopinion, that can make or break morale in a deployed environment.

“We Make Sure We All Work Together”by Tara Goodson

MWR Life: If you were to advise the single Soldier population, what is the most importantpiece of advice you would share with them?

Kline: Manage your money, save so that youwon’t have to depend on someone else to takecare of you and take care of your credit. You willbe so thankful in the long run! I took care of mycredit while I was younger and I was afraid ofcredit cards because of all of the horror storiesI had heard about them. Now that I have moreknowledge and experience I use them responsi-bly and to my advantage. If you make a largepurchase, don't be afraid to seek advice fromyour leadership or seek assistance at the Consumer Affairs Office.

MWR Life: What do you think is the key to yoursuccess in the Army?

Kline: There are several things that have mademe successful. A few include: taking advantageof opportunities presented to me, not beingafraid to lead and making sure that I take care ofmy career. One of my NCOs who was hard onme coming up once told me “No one can takecare of yourself the way that you can take care ofyourself.” -SFC Erica Perkins. I tell that to myfriends, Family and co-workers now. That pieceof advice really struck home when I was approached to assess for the 160th (SOAR)A.

I was nearly to the end of my contract with theArmy when I received an email from a Recruiter.Initially, I thought it was spam and nearly deletedit. But something kept nagging me to open it.After a bit, I did and verified it was areal email from a real recruiter. I researched the opportunity andquickly changed my mindset fromdisbelief that a recruiter had approached me about assessing toone of overcoming the challenge ofbecoming a female Soldier in the160th (SOAR)A. I won’t exaggerate,the physical aspect was somethingthat worried me, but I needed toprove to myself and my fellow Soldiers that I could complete the assessment. I think I earned the re-spect of my teammates quickly andthey certainly earned mine.

MWR Life: Is there a message thatyou would like to share with the FortCampbell Community?

Kline: Take advantage of all of thethings there are to do around us! Getout there and be active, but moreimportantly stay safe. Take care ofone another.

“The entire team is about teamwork, ifsomeone isn’t pulling their weight, then the entire team can fail. We make sure we all work together.”
