Operational Camouflage Pattern Army Combat Uniforms available July 1U.S. Army News Release

The Army officially an-nounced this week the re-lease of the Operational Camouflage Pattern in Sol-dier uniforms. The Opera-tional Camouflage Pattern will be available for pur-chase in military clothing sales stores beginning July 1.

Stores will receive the uniforms over a period of six months from July to November, and new Sol-diers will receive Opera-tional Camouflage Pattern Army Combat Uniforms, or ACUs, beginning Janu-ary 2016. The Operational Camouflage Pattern was selected following the most comprehensive uniform camouflage testing effort ever undertaken by the Army, reflecting the Army’s

paramount commitment to force protection.

Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel A. Dailey encour-aged enlisted Soldiers to purchase new uniforms with their annual clothing allowance. “All enlisted Soldiers receive an annual stipend for the purchase of uniforms and accessories. I myself will wait until I am issued my clothing al-lowance before purchasing a uniform with the Opera-tional Camouflage Pattern. I encourage all Soldiers and leaders to do the same by budgeting for a new uniform, belt, boots, and T-shirts as you receive your clothing allowance over the next two to three years.”

The cost of the uniform in the Operational Camou-flage Pattern will be similar to the cost of the uniform in

the Universal Cam-ouflage Pattern. En-listed Soldiers will continue to receive a clothing allow-ance to replace their worn uni-forms.

Uniforms and equipment in the Operation-al Camouflage Pattern will be available for U.S. Army Na-tional Guard, U.S. Army Re-serve, and Senior Reserve Officer Training Corps during summer 2016.

Soldiers are au-thorized to mix and match T-shirts, belts, and boots with either the

Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern or the Opera-

tional Camouflage Pattern during the

transition peri-od expected to run through Oct. 1, 2019. To further ease the change, Soldiers who already have

Flame Resistant ACUs in the Op-

erational Enduring Freedom Camou-flage Pattern will be authorized to wear them during the transition.

“I have asked non-commissioned officers to ensure their Sol-

diers understand that during this transition period, several uniforms

and variations will be au-thorized in our formations,” Dailey said. “Presenting a professional appearance is very important to Soldiers. But we will not inconve-nience or burden our troops. We will still be the most le-thal fighting force the world has even known even if our belts don’t match for the next few years.”

In addition to the cam-ouflage change, the Opera-tional Camouflage Pattern ACUs will incorporate mi-nor design changes. These include redesigned shoul-der sleeve pockets with a zipper opening, no trouser drawstring, a button on the lower calf pocket, two pen pockets on the sleeve instead of three, and the elimination of the elbow and knee patch hook and loop.

Fort Wainwright welcomes new garrison command sergeant majorTeresa WhiteFort Wainwright PAO

The first thing you notice and ad-mire about the new Garrison Com-mand Sergeant Major, Kevin M. King, is that he’s approachable. As impres-sive as his 22-year Army career has been, it is his kind smile and tone that leave the first impression, traits that put both Soldiers and civilians around him at ease. The next things you notice as he confidently answers questions about his experience, new position and the direction of the Army is his articulate knowledge of his profession and his commitment to the success of his Soldiers.

We will always remember Military moves forward for moose seasonStaff report USARAK PAO

Fort Wainwright and U.S. Army Alaska will

publish a list of the available Interior Alaska mili-tary lands available for moose hunting four weeks ahead of the normal timetable this year. The early announcement will be made no later than July 17 to allow hunters to better schedule and resource their hunts.

General moose season on military lands will begin Aug. 28 and run through Sept. 30. This timeframe encompasses set up to completion of all hunting activities. Most, but not all, popular hunting areas will be available for the entire du-ration due to military training requirements.

Currently, the Air Force will conclude opera-tions in the Oklahoma Impact Area by Sept. 14. Most of the hunting areas in the Donnelly Train-ing Area West will be available for moose hunting and other public recreation from 12:01 a.m. Sept. 15 through Sept. 25.

Prevention and early detection can improve men’s healthLauren A. ShireyProgram Evaluator,U.S. Army Public Health Command

American men are at risk for living less healthy and shorter lives than American women. According to the Men’s Health Network, this risk may be a “silent health crisis” in the United States and is also one that we can act on.

There are several reasons that men may be at higher risk for sickness and death than women. For example, a report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention states that women are 100 percent more likely to visit the doctor for annu-al exams and for services to support health than men.

Men are also more likely than women to smoke ciga-rettes, to die in motor vehi-cle accidents and experience other preventable events. According to the Men’s Health Network, for young-er men, much of the differ-ence comes from increased risk-taking and suicide. So-ciety also often does not pro-mote healthy behaviors for boys and men.

Men aren’t the only ones affected by these health is-sues and these risks. Since women generally live lon-ger than men, they see their dads, brothers, sons, husbands and friends suf-fer or die early. Each June, the nation celebrates Men’s Health Month to increase awareness of preventable

health issues and encourage early detection and treat-ment for men and boys. To reduce men’s health risks and identify and treat any health conditions or diseas-es early, focus on the follow-ing three areas:

Make Healthy Lifestyle Choices

• Get quality sleep, en-gage in physical activity and improve nutrition. These are the focus of the Army Medicine’s Performance Triad campaign and they are fundamental mecha-nisms to optimize health.

• Do not smoke and avoid secondhand smoke.

• Drink alcohol only in moderation and find a desig-nated driver to ensure that no one drinks and drives.

Army Wellness Centers and installation resourc-es such as athletic centers and recreational programs can help make and continue these important changes for health.

Taking care of mental and emotional health is also of key importance. Men often experience stress and suffer from depression. They are also less likely to seek help for depression than women and are four times as likely to commit suicide as wom-en. Depression affects over-all health and well-being and shouldn’t be ignored. To help improve mental and emotional health:

• Find ways to de-stress, including maximizing phys-ical activity and sleep.

• Talk to a chaplain or health care professional, if there is a struggle with neg-ative thoughts, excessive worries or hopelessness.

• If there are suicidal thoughts or plans for sui-cide, speak to a chaplain, behavioral health profes-sional, healthcare provider or to a member of the chain of command immediately.

Get Regular Health Exams

• Schedule an appoint-ment to see a health care provider for a health check-up at least once per year.

• Go to the exam pre-pared to share personal medical history, including current or past substance

use, risk factors for sexu-ally transmitted diseases, diet and exercise habits and symptoms of depression. Although it may seem hard to share, it is important to communicate this informa-tion to the medical provid-er.

• Bring up any questions or concerns about any par-ticular health issues, signs, or symptoms with the pro-vider during the exam.

Get Screened for Early De-tection

Early detection of many conditions or diseases can lead to early treatment and can often reduce suffering or risk of death. To ensure appropriate preventive screenings are received and to increase chances of find-

ing any health issue early:

• Know the medical histo-ry of family and share it with the health care provider. If a family member was recently diagnosed with a disease, be sure to update this informa-tion with the provider. Know-ing family medical history can help the provider identify any screenings that might be of special importance.

• Keep any follow-up screening appointments that the provider recommends. Screenings like colonoscopies, blood pressure checks and blood tests are all important parts of prevention and early detection of illness and disease.

Women are in a unique position to help men to overcome barriers they face in getting health care and in detecting potential health risks or diseases early. Men can be supported through positive encouragement and letting them know it is a sign of strength to prevent and address health risks or conditions. Men and women can both help boys and teen-agers develop these habits early in life, which is the best course of prevention.

For more information on how to make healthy lifestyle choices, obtain a health exam or seek early screening, contact your pri-mary care provider.

Fire Safe Summer

Staff ReportFort Wainwright Fire and Emergency Services

Summer is a time for fun in the sun, a time spent with friends and family en-joying the outdoors. While you’re making memories and enjoy-ing your Alaskan sum-mer, remember to keep a few fire safety tips in mind so an unexpect-ed emergency doesn’t stop the fun.

Keep BBQ grills at least 15 feet from all structures, and do not leave them un-attended. Ensure all BBQ grills and outside cooking appliances are placed on non-flamma-ble surfaces. Do not grill on wooden decks or under eaves or over-hangs. Never grill/bar-becue in enclosed areas because carbon monox-ide is produced. Before

using a grill, check the connection between the propane tank and the fuel line. Make sure the venturi tubes – where the air and gas mix – are not blocked. Be careful when using lighter fluid, and never add fluid to an already lit fire because the flames can flash back up into the container and explode.

If using a charcoal grill, dispose of hot coals properly; always douse them with plenty of water and stir them to ensure that the fire is out. Never place them in plastic, paper or wooden containers. Do not throw hot coals in the garbage or in a dumpster.

Loose clothing can easily catch fire while cooking at a barbecue. It is safest to avoid this type of clothing while cooking. Make sure ev-eryone knows to Stop,

Drop and Roll in case a piece of clothing does catch fire. Call 911, if a burn warrants serious medical attention.

If your summer plans involve camp-fires, keep them small and don’t let them get out of hand. Build campfires where they will not spread, away from dry grass and leaves. Keep plenty of water and a shovel around to douse the fire when you’re done. Stir it and douse it again with water. Nev-er leave campfires un-attended.

Summer should be a time for fun and mak-ing happy memories. Knowing and follow-ing a few fire safety tips will help everyone have a safe season. The Fort Wainwright Fire Department would like to wish ev-eryone a fun and safe summer.

King: New CSM hits the ground runningNEWS

nas, Michigan, Texas and Colorado, to name a few. No stranger to cold tem-peratures, King, a native of Vermont, spent the better part of a decade here at Fort Wainwright, which included several deployments, from 2001 to 2009. While climb-ing the ranks, he has been a drill sergeant and the senior military instructor for a uni-versity ROTC program.

King’s award list is an extensive array of hard-earned medals, ribbons and badges. He is a recip-ient of the Honorable Or-der of Saint Barbara, Saint George, and is a member of the prestigious Aud-ie Murphy Club. He also holds an Associate Degree in Business Management, a Bachelors of Implied Man-agement and a Masters in Leadership Development.

When asked why he orig-inally joined the Army, King responded, “I don’t honestly know. Coming out of college,

I had an unexciting job at a printing company. One day, I stopped in to talk to a re-cruiter and two weeks lat-er I was in basic training. It wasn’t for the college or the travel. It wasn’t a fam-ily tradition. I think it was for the change, doing some-thing that I felt good about, and the challenge.”

Personal Life

While stationed at Fort Wainwright several years ago, King met and married his wife, Karisa. They have two children, Ashlyn, 16, and Kaden, 9.

“It’s so great to be back at Fort Wainwright; returning was definitely at the top of the [assignment] list,” said King. “It’s nice to know where everything is and to recognize so many faces. Though there have been some change over the years, it’s still Fort Wainwright; it’s still Fairbanks.”

With a family that likes to be outdoors, King says that

any free time is normally dedicated to his active son who enjoys motocross, little league and shooting, among many other activities.

“My wife is from here. Grandma and grandpa are here. Out of all the adults, I’m the oddball,” said King. “I love being outdoors. Like my son, I enjoy many sports, but I am not big into hunt-ing or fishing. I leave that to the grandparents. Don’t get me wrong – I do love to keep my freezer stocked with that stuff though.”

King and his Family will be the first to move into Fort Wainwright’s newest housing community, Tanana Trails, next week.

Garrison Position

King assumed respon-sibility of Garrison Com-mand Sergeant Major, June 3. With his combat arms, tenant unit and deployment experience to draw from, he plans to hit the ground running in support of his

Soldiers and their Families. In the forefront of his mind is nurturing and strength-ening existing community relationships and building more.

“I know what it’s like to live, work and train in an arctic environment. I un-derstand what tenant units need. I can make the best of training opportunities and facilities,” said King. “I pride myself on being plugged-in, from the junior level to the senior level. I am approachable and flexible, positive and resourceful. I don’t like the word ‘no.’ I’m not a ‘no’ type of guy when it comes to the mission, an issue, my Soldiers and their Families.”

His advice for the Soldiers hoping to be in his position one day is to be thoroughly committed.

“If you’re a Soldier in to-day’s Army, you really have to accept that you’re a ser-vant leader and go above and beyond in the things that you do,” advised King.

“With that drive, you’ll move up and affect a lot of people in a good way. Keep looking forward. Develop yourself. Build your resume. Not only will this help your Army career, but it will ben-efit you in the civilian job market when your uniform comes off.”

King reminds current Soldiers, high school and college graduates that you don’t have to put in 20 years of service to be a tremen-dous asset to the American public, and to take advan-tage of the fact that joining the military comes with the benefits of higher education or education loan repayment and the chance to hone cov-eted skills or skill sets.

“There is nothing like leading American men and women on a daily basis,” said King. “In the civilian world, there are managers and CEOs, but considering the environments in which Soldiers operate and the tasks asked of us…this is something special.”

Summer is in full swing and the children are enjoying it. They have been cooped up all winter and have a lot of pent up energy. That is a great thing, but with all that going on, they may not be paying atten-tion to safety. As adults, we need to be looking out for them.

• Before they head out to the playground or backyard, make sure the area is free of debris, trash and other items that can hurt them or they can put in their mouths. Look over the equipment; if anything looks unsafe, call your housing manager to look at it.

• When you pull out the scoot-er, bicycle and other toys, check them out and make sure they are in working order.

• Make sure your children watch out for cars and traffic – even in parking lots! This includes staying clear of them whenever possible.

• Talk to your kids about keep-ing an eye out for vehicles in the roadway, traffic safety, using side-walks, crossing streets and using traffic signals whenever possible.

• Obey speed limits. The speed limit in residential areas is 15 MPH.

• Drivers need to keep an eye out for kids playing in the streets, especially in the late hours. With the longer days, kids will be out

later. If you see a ball in the street, slow down; there is probably a child chasing it.

• Children have a curfew. Fort Wainwright Policy Letter # 33 states that everyone under 18 years old are required to be in quarters or accompanied by a parent or guardian during curfew hours. Sunday through Thursday: 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.; Friday through Saturday: 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Information about avail-able and restricted lands will be published through the USARTRAK iSportsman web page http://usartrak.isportsman.net, local news media, the Fort Wainwright website and Facebook page, local fliers and community meetings, and at the Fair-banks and Delta Junction Alaska Department of Fish and Game offices.

All sportsmen 16 and old-er choosing to recreate on military lands must regis-ter for a free access permit which can be obtained online at http://usartrak.isports-man.net, or at one of three kiosk locations: Fort Wain-wright Visitors Center, Fort Greely Visitors Center, and the Fort Wainwright Natural Resource Office.

The public will have on-line access to view which mil-itary lands are open to rec-reation, to include hunting, but will be required to have a Fort Wainwright Recreation Access Permit in their pos-session prior to entering Fort Wainwright lands.

To ensure the safety of both sportsmen and Army personnel, Fort Wainwright Law Enforcement in part-nership with Alaska Wildlife Troopers, will significantly increase active patrolling and enforcement of hunt-ing regulations on military lands. Sportsmen will need to be extra vigilant to ensure they are accessing only those lands available to public rec-reation.

Fort Wainwright and US-ARAK understand the im-portance of hunting in the Interior and are working diligently to provide reason-able access to training lands during moose season. Fort

Wainwright and USARAK are partnering closely with the U.S. Air Force, the Alas-ka Department of Fish and Game, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Alaska State Troopers and the Bu-reau of Land Management to ensure a safe and enjoyable hunting season for everyone involved.

The Army reserves the right to adjust the available lands for hunting in order to facilitate unscheduled critical training in support of worldwide deployments. Maintaining military readi-ness to respond to worldwide contingencies is our No. 1 priority.

For more information, contact the Fort Wainwright Natural Resource Office at (907) 361-9686 during nor-mal business hours from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. If no one is available, please leave a message and they will re-turn your call.

NEWSGiant voice upgrades no small taskSenior Airman Ashley N. Taylor354th Fighter Wing PAO

As technology continually changes, so have the means of communicating, especial-ly during emergencies.

From AtHoc, an emer-gency notification system, to emails and Facebook, Eielson has multiple sources to dis-seminate information, but one loud voice can be heard even if cell phone or internet service is unavailable.

“The Giant Voice system is the most direct and fastest means for command post to communicate emergencies to the base’s population,” said Master Sgt. John Sperling, the 354th Communications Squadron noncommissioned officer in charge of radio frequency transmission sys-tems. “’Exercise, exercise, exercise’ is a familiar phrase often heard over the speak-ers, which helps our warf-ighters prepare to respond to emergency situations.”

To ensure the Giant Voice reaches its maximum poten-tial, members from the 354th CS radio frequency transmis-sion systems shop are work-ing rapidly and efficiently to install the new system.

“The older system was installed in 2003 and aged quickly due to the harsh win-ters,” Sperling said. “All elec-tronics, stacks and controllers will be replaced, increasing the effectiveness of the system by 26 percent. Depending on how many speaker cells are on a stack, each one can have a range of 5,800 feet.”

The radio frequency transmissions shop spear-headed the large task, but the project’s completion date is months ahead of schedule thanks to the assis-tance of other CS members and Airmen from the 354th Civil Engineer Squadron.

“CE has helped us out tre-mendously; the utilization

of their crane and boom lift has quadrupled the speed of the installation,” Sperling said. “The Dirt Boyz have been very flexible and are always eager to help out.”

The Dirt Boyz lent their support with crane opera-tions and provided 30-foot lifting straps to assist in re-placing the old system.

“We enjoy helping out other shops whenever we can provide the support,” said Staff Sgt. Randy Hare, the 354th CES pavements and equipment vehicle con-trol officer. “It’s nice to work together and allow our Airmen time operating the crane and seeing how the rigging system works.”

The new system is ex-pected to save more than 600 man-hours annually in maintenance and the ease of the new controllers will help in future troubleshoot-ing, allowing Icemen the safety of having the Giant Voice available in times of crisis.

Alaska Air Guardsmen deploy to Middle EastStaff Sgt. Edward Eagerton 176th Wing PAO

Approximately 26 mem-bers of the Alaska Air Na-tional Guard’s 176th Civil Engineer Squadron depart-ed Sunday morning for a six-month deployment to the Middle East in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Before deploying, they will conduct additional training for a month in Tex-as, said Chief Master Sgt. Keith Wilson, chief of plans and programs, 176th CES.

Their first stop will be Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, where they will par-ticipate in the Evasion and Conduct After Capture course, Wilson explained. Afterward, they travel to Fort Bliss where they will train for three weeks on combat skills.

The primary mission of the 176th CES will be to support U.S. Central Com-mand with minor construc-tion projects in their area of operations, according to Lt. Col. Jack Evans, command-er of the 176th CES.

“This is a unique mis-sion,” said Evans. “Typical-

ly, when we deploy, we go to a static location and do maintenance for established facilities. This time, we’re going to be sending guys to eight different countries outside the wire. They will be doing construction proj-ects instead of maintaining established bases.”

Once at Fort Bliss, the civil engineer personnel will join with members of other Guard, Reserve and active duty units to form an ap-proximately 170-member expeditionary civil engineer group.

Evans, who will be the deployed commander of the group, noted that this de-ployment is particularly sig-nificant for his unit because they will be the lead in a combined group that will be predominantly made up of Guardsmen.

“Fifty-nine percent of us will be Guardsmen, 24 per-cent Reservists and 13 per-cent Active duty,” he said.

Senior Airman Amado Cordero, a heating, ventila-tion, air conditioning and re-frigeration specialist, is one of the 176th CES members going on this deployment. Like many Guardsmen,

Cordero works full-time in the civilian workforce and performs his part-time Air National Guard career one weekend per month and two weeks per year.

He said that his full-time job working in construction closely ties in with his job in the Guard.

“On the civilian side, I stick with construction,” he said. “That’s why HVAC works well for me, because I do a little bit of everything. I do plumbing, insulation, heavy-equipment operation, and structural and electrical work. This is all pretty fa-miliar to me.”

Cordero said that he feels driven and enjoys deploy-ing.

“For me, it’s being in uni-form and doing this job that I enjoy most,” he said. “Do-ing this job on either the ci-vilian side or in uniform are two totally different feel-ings. I feel more of a sense of accomplishment because I feel like I’m contributing to something greater. I’m looking forward to this de-ployment.”

The members of the 176th CES spent the last year training for this de-

ployment, explained Wilson.“We knew what mile-

stones we had to make to be ready to deploy, so we planned our training to meet those requirements,” he said. “I’m very proud of these guys. They’ve re-ally come together, got all of their training accom-plished, and I’m proud of their attitudes and their ea-gerness to serve.”

“I want them to come back safely, first of all,” add-ed Evans, “but I also want them to come back knowl-edgeable that they’ve done the job they trained to do in civil engineering. We’re also excited that we’re the lead unit. They only pick one Guard unit a year to be the lead, and this time, it’s us. It means a lot to our guys.”

Patience is appreciated. Every attempt will be made to keep interruptions to a minimum. Please address any questions or concerns to Mike Kondus, NHC devel-opment manager, at 356-7149.

GAFFNEY ROAD CONSTRUCTIONGaffney Road is undergoing construction. The

affected portion of Gaffney Road will be from Marks Street west to Old Meridian (near the railroad track crossing). Gaffney will be closed from Apple to Marks Street west, and the road will be reduced to one lane in each direction be-tween Apple Street and Old Meridian. Motorists are encouraged to remain patient and use cau-tion when travelling within the work site. It is anticipated this project will last five weeks.

BOWLING ALLEY CONSTRUCTIONThe speed limit in truck crossing zones is 10

mph. Delays should be minor but drivers should plan accordingly. Construction is estimated to be complete September 2016.

CONSTRUCTION SEASONAlong with construction season comes addi-

tional vehicle traffic through the Hursey Gate. Personnel entering the gate during peak traffic hours in the morning and midday can expect some delays at the gate. One way to mitigate de-lays is for personnel to either show up at the gate earlier or later for their work day. This will help offset some of the increased traffic flow during peak hours. This is an option and if used should first be approved by supervisors and leadership. The Security Forces Squadron will use all avail-able resources to maximize the use of available entry lanes. We thank you for your patience and cooperation as we move through another suc-cessful construction season.

Staff Sgt. Kirsten Wicker354th Fighter Wing PAO

Summer in Alaska is officially here and for mo-torcycle enthusiasts that means it’s time to gas up the tank and hit the open road on two wheels.

As May’s National Motorcycle Safety Aware-ness month draws to a close, 354th Fighter Wing ground safety officials remind Airmen, family members and civilians to practice safe motorcy-cle riding that could save a life in the event of a mishap.

“Alaska has the potential to be a great place to ride, but it can also be a dangerous place,” said Staff Sgt. Devon Ellis, a 354th FW ground safe-ty technician. “There are safety considerations unique to Alaska to be aware of when riding here that are different than when riding in other loca-tions.”

Ellis advises riders to remember there are often long distances between gas stations, road condi-tions that include construction zones are hazard-ous, fatigue can influence judgment and reaction time, and remain aware of other drivers, particu-larly those driving rented recreational vehicles.

A motorcyclist is 26 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a traffic crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Although speed and alcohol con-sumption are large contributing factors to motor-cycle accidents, the agency found two-thirds of fatal motorcycle crashes involve a motorcycle and another vehicle. Motorists either do not see the oncoming motorcycle, or the motorist doesn’t see the motorcycle in time to avoid a crash.

“Really look out for rented RVs, often driven by tourists driving across the state, because many times those drivers are not familiar with driving a vehicle that large and may not be looking out for motorcycles,” Ellis said. “Keep in mind construc-tion zones can have a lot of gravel on the roadway or heavy equipment operating nearby. Pay atten-tion to how tired you are and how much fuel you have when riding long distances.”

While riding can be fun and liberating, base safety officials also remind everyone to ensure personal protective equipment is worn at all times while operating a motorcycle. According to the Air Force Safety Center, 13 Airmen were killed in off-duty motorcycle crashes in fiscal year 2014.

Although none of the deaths occurred in Alaska, riders are still encouraged to continue safe riding for mishap prevention.

“If you ride a motorcycle, on base or off base, you must wear correct personal protective gear,” Ellis said. “The same rules apply to civilian and De-fense Department ID card holders on base.”

Personal protective equipment applies at all times and includes a certified Department of Transportation helmet that properly fastens under the chin, impact or shatter-resistant eye protection such as goggles or a face shield, long sleeved shirt or jacket, long pants, full-fingered gloves, and stur-dy, over-the-ankle boots. It is recommended, but not mandatory, for riders to wear a reflective gar-ment that will assist other drivers in seeing them.

Individuals planning to ride this summer must complete a free Motorcycle Safety Foundation course, either Beginner Rider Course or Expe-rienced Rider Course, offered June 12 and June 25-27, possess a valid driver’s license with an “M” endorsement and follow all personal protective equipment guidance.

“Riders also need to register on the motorcycle unit safety tracking tool, known as MUSTT and at-tend the pre-season riding briefing given by the wing safety office,” said Ellis. “The weather is nice and we encourage Icemen to have fun riding this summer, but to also be safe when they head out.”

Additional considerations for safe riding include ensuring preventative maintenance is completed with an inspection of the tires, wheels, controls, lights, oil and bike chassis. Riders must also obey speed limits and never mix alcohol with motor-cycle riding. Consuming alcohol and driving any motorized vehicle, to include a motorcycle or all-terrain vehicle, greatly increases the chances of having an accident.

“Alcohol affects balance and coordination, which are essential to operating a motorcycle,” Ellis said. “Just avoid drinking alcohol completely if you plan to ride; it’s never a good idea to begin with.”
