PHoto and StoRy By cHaRleS MeltonCommunity Information Manager

Each day that Fort Irwin and the National Training Center’s recycled water, or tertiary treated water, program is in use, more than 1.8 billion drops of water or 200,000 to 300,000 gallons of water are saved, which is a signifi-cant effort in any climate, but especially in the

Mojave Desert, where Fort Irwin is located.The recycled water is being used to irrigate

six locations, including recreational fields and other grassy areas across the installation, with plans to expand the use of the recycled water in the near future.

“We live in the desert and we have a limited water supply. That is a fact,” said Fort Irwin Garrison Commander, Col. James Chevallier.

“Every gallon of water of this type, tertiary treated water, is a gallon of water that we don’t use as drinking water of otherwise.”

This capability extends the sustainability and viability of Fort Irwin by buying time on the limited water supply the installation has, Col. Chevallier said, noting that another

Fort Irwin saves billions of drops of water through recycling program

Do we have phobiasor are they just hang-ups?

BY BOB LUCASCommentator

When one starts thinking about the vari-ous hang ups and phobias that could possibly affect a human being, it is mind boggling. In my humble opinion, the various phobias had to be invented just so we had a name for a hang up or mental problem … sometimes known as a disorder. Maybe it is a ploy to allow us to complain about something we fear, hate, or just plain tolerate. For instance, there is a phobia for just about anything in existence that could affect us. The fear of rid-ing in a car is amaxophobia and the fear of walking is ambulophobia. I guess that would lead one to have domatophobia, which is fear of being in a house “forever.”

One problem I had as a young person was looking up when someone was talk-ing to me. They actually had a name for it called anablephobia. I did not like eating chicken when I was younger, hence the fear of chickens (alektorophobia). I used to love eating peanut butter, but hated that it always stuck to the roof of my mouth … well, that is called arachibutyrophobia.

I used to fear slime and toads, maybe from the early days of watching scary movies or times when my brothers pushed me into the water. In those cases, I had an excuse which

was blennophobia and bufonophobia. I worked with other employees at one time and found out why they hated it when I brought up new ideas … they were centophobia people, which is the fear of new things or ideas. Maybe I fear bicycles (cyclophobia) because I fell over on one many years ago or am afraid of accidents (dystychiphobia) because I had my share of accidents both in vehicles and on motorcycles.

My children at one time were fearful of work (ergophobia) and at being laughed at which is called gelotophobia. We cannot get away with anything anymore, can we? It appears we cannot do anything these days without having a phobia of some kind. Those who stay in their homes must be fearful of the sun which is heliophobia or the fog which is homichlophobia. I actually once met people that were fearful of ideas (ideophobia) or who feared computers (logizomechanophobia). I often wondered if they really feared ideas and computers or just wanted to survive without the wonderful world of information. It seems to me that optophobia would be a huge problem, since it concerns the fear of opening one’s eyes. If one can see, why not open the eyes?

Not sure I understand that one. The los-ing end of the stick would be panophobia, which is the fear of everything or the fear of

wealth, which is plutophobia. I don’t know anyone that would fear getting more money to spend.

Some of the phobias are a little bit ri-diculous such as the fear of being tickled by feathers (pteronophobia) or the fear of be-ing evaluated negatively in social situations (social phobia).

If one wanted to live out in the desolate lands of civilization, they might have a fear of telephones (telephonophobia) or fear of words (verbophobia).

Our fear of anger or being angry (angropho-bia) could lead us to fear someone’s opinions (allodoxaphobia) which could lead us to an undue fear of pain (agliophobia) and ultimately help us to fear insanity (agateophobia).

No matter the phobia, they all have a purpose in life. I just happen to believe the many phobia lead us to more excuses on why we are the way we are … or is that also a phobia. Take care all and thanks for serv-ing your nation. It is an honorable calling for an honorable people … those who serve and families who also serve through the absences of a spouse or loved one in hard times. Thanks again!

ICE, frompage 2

The following are a sampling of ICE submissions at Fort Ir-win in the past three weeks. If the customer requests a response, Service Providers are expected to respond to the customer within three business days and post follow-up notes in ICE.

Einstein BagelsCustomer Comment: How could they not be listed??!!

We love them. They work hard to make sure their products and services stay new and fresh. The gals who work there are wonderful and always friendly. Einstein was the first place we ate when we moved here and it’s the last place we’re going tomorrow before we drive out. They are the one food location we will be sad to leave. We wish we could take them with us! Agency Response: I e-mailed the guest to thank them for bringing this to our attention and to thank them for their wonderful comments and for eating with us at Fort Irwin.

Reel Time TheaterCustomer Comment: When looking through the paper,

it was nice to see a couple movies that I would actually pay to go see, like Shrek, Ironman 2, and Robinhood. If you could get more movies along this line, I would actually come back. Maybe like the Harry Potter movie that will be coming out or the New Twilight series coming out and offer it more than one night. I look forward to seeing more. Agency Response: Thanked the customer for using ICE so AAFES can better serve our guest and our valued customers.

potential option to extend the installation’s water resources is not to irrigate at all.

“We don’t have a lot of green remaining in our slice of the desert,” he said. “The residents on this installation will tell you that green in the form of a grass, a tree, a bush is a key aspect of their quality of life at Fort Irwin.”

The project does three things for the installa-tion: it significantly reduces the amount of waste Fort Irwin puts in ponds, extends the sustainabil-ity at Fort Irwin and is going to help extend the sustainability at Fort Irwin without sacrificing the quality of life for Soldiers, Family members and civilians who live and work at Fort Irwin, he said.

“This is a classic win-win situation,” Col. Che-vallier added.

It took about seven years to get the project com-pleted from design and construction through the permitting and commissioning process, explained CH2M Hill Fort Irwin UPP Engineering Manager Scott Boettcher.

“The project wouldn’t have been possible with-out a lot of cooperation and collaboration locally,” Boettcher said.

The project benefits many things at Fort Irwin including offsetting the drain on the installation’s aquifer as well as reducing the amount of water going into the installation’s wastewater pond system, he said.

Recycled water is most commonly used for land-scape irrigation of schools grounds, parks, and golf courses, and more recently, however, it also has been used for recreation purposes, habitat restoration, and commercial uses such as paper production, heating and cooling, he said in an earlier interview.

Recycled water has been used safely in Califor-nia for more than four decades, and although it frequently meets the same standards as drinking water, recycled water is not used or intended for consumption, Boettcher said.

‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ surveyBY JIM GARAMONEAmerican Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON — Noting the importance of getting the opinions of those who would be most affected by a possible repeal of the so-called “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” law that bans gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military, Defense Sec-retary Robert M. Gates today urged servicemembers to provide their input.

About 400,000 servicemem-bers are receiving an e-mail sur-vey seeking their opinions, and the department has an online in-box at https://dadt.csd.disa.mil/ for additional feedback from common access card holders.

“I think it is very important for us to understand from our men and women in uniform the challenges that they see,” Gates said during a Pentagon news conference today, noting that the department needs their views on the subject and the challenges they see to implementing a pos-sible change to the law.

Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the department needs objective information that the survey can deliver, and emphasized that no one is drawing conclusions about the survey until it is finished.

“To reach out at this point and try to predict either what they might say or what the results might say, I just think it’s too early with respect to that,” the chairman said.

Army Gen. Carter F. Ham, commander of U.S. Army Europe,

and Jeh Johnson, the Pentagon’s top lawyer, are leading a review panel that’s assessing the current law.

“I would say that this survey is a very important element of this effort, in part because while General Ham and General Counsel Jeh Johnson have talked to thousands of troops in dozens of military facilities, we have gotten several tens of thousands of comments and

views by e-mail in response to the request for people’s thoughts on this,” Gates said. “This size sampling is obviously the most significant element of getting the views of the troops.”

The survey — released yes-terday — will go to 200,000 active duty servicemembers and 200,000 reserve-component personnel. Officials estimate it will take 30 minutes to complete the survey, and the deadline for returning them is Aug. 15. An-other survey will go to 150,000 family members in August.

Gates insisted on doubling the sample size to its current level.

“The original proposal was to sample 100,000 active-duty and 100,000 in the reserve com-

ponent,” he said. “I strongly suggested that they double the size of the sample — that I wanted a significant percentage of the force to have an opportunity to offer their views on this.”

The survey is confidential, the secretary pointed out.“I strongly encourage gays and lesbians who are in the military to fill

out these forms,” Gates said. “We’ve organized this in a way to protect their privacy and the confidentiality of their responses through a third party, and it’s important that we hear from them as well as everybody else. But I think we’re satisfied that this is an important element of this effort, and that it’s being done in a very professional way.”

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and Navy Adm.Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, speak during a press conference at the Pentagon, July 8, 2010. During the briefing, Gates urged servicemembers to provide their input to an e-mail survey seeking their opinions about a possible repeal of the so-called “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” law.

This program is designed to assist clients with life issues that might affect their well being, and their ability to perform work duties. EAP services include: screening/assessment, referral, individual, group and family counseling. The EAP provides professional assistance for a wide range of personal and family concerns such as stress management, relationship and family issues, depression, substance abuse and work-related problems.

Military dependents, civilian employees and their family members as well as military retirees and their family members are eligible for EAP services.

The EAP coordinator also offers employee awareness and education classes. These classes meet the two-hour annual employee education requirements (in accordance with Army Regulation 600-85) for all civilian employees.

The EAP provides employees with a valuable resource for helping them cope with a wide variety of issues on and off the job.

10 11Col. Laughlin hands Blackhorse reigns to Col. Aguto

STORY BY SGT. GIANCARLO CASEM11th ACR Public Affairs

The 63rd Colonel of the 11th Armored Cav-alry Regiment, Col. Paul Laughlin, handed over his command to the incoming commander, Col. Antonio Aguto, during a change of command ceremony at Fort Irwin, Calif., June 30.

The ceremony also saw the commands of all three squadrons change hands. Laughlin as-sumed command in June, 2008, and has served as the 63rd Colonel of the Regiment for two years. From here, Laughlin will serve as the Military Advisor to the Minister of Defense of Afghanistan.

“We, the outgoing command teams, were well aware of the great gift given to us these past two years,” Laughlin said. “Command is always a privilege. Command in time of war is a distinct

honor. Part of the honor was knowing how lucky we were in that we did our part in training the force and we were allowed to lead, develop, make mistakes and be entrusted with large formations of Blackhorse Troopers. To put it succinctly, it was the highlight of our professional lives being part of the Blackhorse Team.”

During his farewell speech, Laughlin thanked his command team and the rest of the Blackhorse Troopers for their performance during his tenure as the commander.

“It was a hell of ride,” Laughlin said. “We’ve got you all to thank for some very special memo-ries. We’ve trained hard and long, cared for each other, kept accountability, shown amazing agil-ity and have had a good time doing it. Truth be told, that’s a monumental feat considering what we do month in and month out, you know it is almost miraculous.

“But miracles happen because you did routine things routinely every single day and you were committed to excellence. These are the reasons why I was so proud to wear this patch and be part of the team. I sincerely thank each and every one of you for your service to the Regiment, our Army and Nation.”

The incoming commander, Col. Antonio Aguto, previously commanded the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment and deployed with the unit in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

The new squadron commanders and com-mand sergeant’s majors also took command of their first formation during the ceremony.

The outgoing 1st Squadron commander, Lt. Col. Todd Walsh relinquished his command to Lt. Col. Christopher Doneski, while Command Sgt. Major William Tramel assumed responsibil-ity from Command Sgt. Maj. Steven Mulig.

The 2nd Squadron command team of Lt. Col. Mike Hester and Command Sgt. Maj. Scott Peare handed the reins of Eaglehorse Squadron to Lt. Col. A. Brian Robertson and Sgt. Maj. Stephen Young.

Regimental Support Squadron transferred command from Lt. Col. Andrew Cooper to Lt. Col. Lance Eldred.

The new commander and squadron command teams all vow to continue the tradition of hard work that their predecessors embodied.

“Blackhorse, you look awesome and I, along with all our new squadron commanders and command sergeants major are particularly proud and humbled to be standing here in front of you today,” Aguto said in his speech.

“Thank you to you and the Blackhorse Families for your continued sacrifice in service to our nation.”

Company commanders from the Regimental Support Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, and their guidon bearers, salute the official reviewing party fol-lowing the Regiment’s change of command ceremony.

Troopers from 2nd Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, led by their new commander, Lt. Col. A. Brian Robertson, salute as they pass by the official review-ing party, June 30. Robertson assumed command from Lt. Col. Mike Hester.

14Soldier returns for third NTC rotation

STORY AND PHOTO BYSPC. KANDI L. HUGGINS1st HBCT Public Affairs

Sgt Terraine Jones, an ammunition team chief for Alpha Battery, 1st Battalion, 5th Field Artillery, 1st Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, is training in his third rotation at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, Calif., during the month of July.

Although the time Jones has spent here so far has been preparing and planning for the mission is scheduled to begin within the fol-lowing week, Jones said he hopes the training he will receive during this rotation will push him beyond his limits.

“Everything evolves with time,” Jones said. “The experiences have continued to get better, situations are more detailed, missions have become more complex, and the learning experience has increased with each rotation. Tempers will flare, muscles will be sore and everyone will be overloaded, but it’s all great for self improvement which not only helps

in the work place and combat, but also help with (an individual) having everyday success.”

Some training experiences Jones said he experienced during his previous NTC rota-tions included vehicle mount and dismount, combat life saving (CLS), survival training, forward operating base (FOB) security, quick reaction force (QRF) training and time sensi-tive targeting (TST) which included getting on and off a Blackhawk helicopter.

“They throw things your way that might not ever happen while deployed,” Jones said. “But that helps you maintain your military bearing and stay calm in order for you to think in real-time situations.”

Jones said this aspect of NTC training has helped him read different situations and give better guidance to his soldiers because it promotes self-improvement.

“I am able to lead from the front by ex-ample and that makes it easier for my Soldiers to trust what I say by seeing and experiencing themselves that I know what I am doing,” Jones said.

Although Jones is looking forward to the training and experiences he will gain during this rotation of NTC from a combat per-spective, he has taken the time to notice an improvement from a personal perspective.

The living quarters have improved, the Soldier said. Chow, the latrines and trash seem the same which were always kept up well, he added.

Jones also couldn’t help but notice the weather. With temperatures usually ranging in the high 90s and low 100s during the day, it could cause serious heat casualties while Soldiers are training.

Some ways, Soldiers can endure training during this extreme heat are to eat prop-erly, drink water, maintain proper hygiene and have the desire to push themselves,Jones said.

“Motivation goes a long way here and hav-ing the desire within helps push you,” Jones said. “The weather is out of our control but what we can do, as Soldiers, is to stay eager, disciplined and focused.”

Army Wounded Warrior ProgramSymposium puts GI Bill transferability among top issues

BY TODD FOGLE AND AW2Army News Service

WASHINGTON — Being able to transfer GI Bill benefits to dependents if medically retired rates high among concerns for wounded warriors.

That concern, and four others, were identified as priorities by the 65 severely wounded Soldiers, veterans, and family members who participated in the 2010 Army Wounded Warrior Program Symposium June 21-25 in San Antonio, Texas.

“The AW2 Symposium is about listening to those who have been through it and learn-ing first-hand about ways we can continue to improve how we care for our most severely wounded, injured and ill Soldiers, veterans and their families — then take action,” said AW2 Program Director Col. Jim Rice. “These delegates were the voice of the Army’s 7,000 severely wounded Soldiers and we listen very closely to what they say.”

The top issues were chosen from more than 80 topics that were discussed in five focus groups: medical, careers, family, Soldier sup-port and veteran affairs.

The issues prioritized as the top five at the AW2 symposium were:

Eligibility requirements for concurrent receipt of disability pay for medically retired servicemembersPost 9/11 GI Bill transferability to de-pendents for all medically retired service membersMandatory training of VA health-care staff on post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuriesTransferring from temporary disability retirement to permanent disability retire-ment for wounded warriorsBenefits and entitlements informa-tion to wounded warrior primarycaregivers

AW2 Soldiers, veterans and families submit-ted issues prior to the symposium for consider-ation. Issues were also submitted via the AW2 website at www.AW2.army.mil.

Lt. Col. Debra Cisney, AW2 operations of-ficer, said, “It’s not just a one-time shot,” as she explained that website visitors can also check the status of issues online.

After the symposium the issues are forward-ed on — some to the Army Family Action Plan program and others to Veterans Affairs. Cisney said there were actually 11 issues discussed at the symposium.

Priorities identified at the AW2 Symposium will be submitted for consideration at the Army Family Action Plan conference in January. There will be 12 delegates from AW2 invited to the AFAP conference in January. At that confer-ence, like at the AW2 Symposium, participants will prioritize their issues of concern.

Army-wide priorities identified at the AFAP conference will then move into the hands of Army senior leadership.

Bob Moore, a spokesman for Warrior Transition Command, said he’s confident that some of the issues identified by the Soldiers at the AW2 symposium will pass muster at AFAP make it into the hands of the secretary of the Army and chief of staff.

“We’ve had an extraordinary success rate,” Moore said. He also said Army senior leader-ship has a success rate of addressing the issues presented to them.

Issues raised at previous symposiums that have been resolved include expanded facilities to treat traumatic brain injuries and a stipend for primary caregivers of severely wounded servicemembers to the creation of the AW2 Community Support Network and a $10,000 increase in VA housing benefits.

AW2 Symposium delegate and veteran, Matt Staton, said, “I can leave this event knowing that my voice, and the voices of the Soldiers I represent, will be heard. “The AW2 Symposium is an excellent process for the Army to listen and to improve warrior care. All the delegates leave with the knowl-edge that a lot of people in the Army are striving to improve the care we wounded warriors receive.”

For the last six years, AW2 has served the most severely wounded, injured, and ill Sol-diers, veterans, and their Families. AW2 assists and advocates for them as part of the Army’s Warrior Transition Command.

Service members become citizens in ceremony

Celebrating Fourth of July in IraqSTOrY AND phOTO BY SGT. 1ST CLASS rOGEr DEY Army News Service

CAMP VICTORY, Iraq — One hundred fifty-six service-members from 56 different countries recited the Oath of Citi-zenship in the rotunda of Al Faw Palace and marked the Fourth of July as the day they became American citizens.

This, the 17th naturalization ceremony held in Iraq for ser-vicemembers who have been serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, was also the second Independence Day naturalization ceremony at Al Faw Palace attended by Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

“What a sight you are today. What a powerful symbol you represent to those who yearn for freedom all across the world,” Biden said to the of the servicemembers who came from coun-tries ranging from Bolivia to Thailand.

“On this Fourth of July weekend, I’m reminded that you have carried the torch of our founding fathers, the one that they lit 234 years ago. You carried it around the world,” he said.

Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, commanding general, United States Forces-Iraq, pointed out that the servicemembers tak-ing part in the ceremony have already been serving their adopted country.

“I’m extremely grateful to have such an outstanding group joining the ranks of our citizenry,” he said. “You came to our country seeking freedom. And before you even enjoyed the rights of full citizenship, you held up your right hand and swore to sup-port and defend that freedom, both at home and abroad. You volunteered to go into harm’s way in defense of your new nation.”

Although many of those in attendance have been wait-ing for years to become citizens, they were able to take advantage of a streamlined process for foreign-born mem-bers of the U.S. Armed Forces serving during a period of recognized hostilities.

Pfc. Jean David Jeannite, a Soldier with 1st Brigade Combat Team’s Special Troops Battalion, 1st Infantry Division, couldn’t contain his enthusiasm about the day for which he had been waiting 22 years.

“Today was the greatest day of my life,” Jeannite said with a grin. “I’m finally, officially, part of the U.S., the greatest country in the world. I’m loving it. It’s unbelievable to be part of this. The vice president, wow! This is the highlight of my life!”

Jeannite, from Bradenton, Fla., came to the U.S. from Port au Prince, Haiti, when he was nine-years-old. Many of the new citizens also took the opportunity to register to vote and apply for their new passports immediately following the ceremony.

Spc. Stephen Mashol, with Headquarters Company, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, was

preparing his passport application with the help of his first-line leader, Staff Sgt. Shawn Blackwell.

Mashol immigrated to the U.S. as a refugee from the vio-lence in Sudan in 2003 and was happy to have been a part of this ceremony.

“I was supposed to be in the last ceremony,” Mashol said. “I wasn’t happy for missing that ceremony, but now I’m more happy because this is a great day — the Fourth of July, and the vice president is here ... there is more happiness to this day, so that’s making me proud to be American.”

One hundred fifty-six foreign-born U.S. service members from 56 countries serving with United States Forces-Iraq, take the oath of citizenship during a July 4 naturalization ceremony at Camp Victory’s Al Faw palace. Vice president Joseph r. Biden, Jr. spoke at the event, the 17th such ceremony held in Iraq since 2003.
