THE KWAJALEIN HOURGLASS

The Kwajalein Hourglass is named for the insignia of the U.S. Army 7th Infantry Division, which liberated the island from the forces of Imperial Japan on Feb. 4, 1944.

The Kwajalein Hourglass is an authorized publication for military personnel, federal em-ployees, contractor workers and their families assigned to U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll. Con-tents of the Hourglass are not necessarily offi -cial views of, or endorsed by, the U.S. Govern-

ment, Department of Defense, Department of the Army or USAKA. It is published Saturdays in ac-cordance with Army Regulation 360-1 and using a network printer by Kwajalein Range Services editorial staff.

Rumor: Youth 13 years of age and older can use Coral Sands Beach and Camp Hamilton. Yes. Youth 13 years of age and older do not require a parent or adult over 21 to access Coral Sands and Camp Hamilton between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. However, the buddy system must be used and all other water safety policies still apply.

Navigation “stick charts” are only found in the Marshall Islands. There are three kinds of stick charts. First, the “Rebbelib,” is a general wave navigational chart that can cover all of the Marshall Islands or specific chain of islands (e.g. Ralik or Ratak). The second type is the “Medo,” which covers only a few islands and is useful for specific voyages. The third type, the “Mattang” or “Wappepe,” identifies wave patterns formed around islands.

Cordially invites you to the Memorial Day ceremonyMonday, the twenty-eighth of May

Two thousand and twelveNine o’clock in the morning

Memorial Day MessageMemorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance

for those who have died in our Nation’s service. Memorial Day was offi cially proclaimed on May 5, 1869, by Gen. John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. It was fi rst observed May 30, 1868, when fl owers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate Soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. We mourn the passing of all Armed Forces personnel and honor those who continue to serve. Traditionally, Memorial Day marks the beginning of the summer season and a time for gathering with family and friends.

Soldiers and civilians must make effective on and off duty risk assessments, to prevent needless accidents or injuries. One of the primary focuses across the Army is privately owned vehicle and motorcycle accident prevention. The majority of fatal traffi c accidents occur off duty and many involve alcohol consumption, reckless driving and a failure to use seatbelts.

I expect leaders to ensure that all personnel are aware of the hazards they are likely to face during the holiday and throughout the summer. Leaders must reinforce the use of the Travel Risk Planing System. Leaders must also stress the importance of the use of seatbelts and the hazards of drinking and driving.

Memorial Day is the fi rst holiday of the summer season. It provides a great opportunity for well-earned relaxation, as well and solemn remembrance of those who made the ultimate sacrifi ce to protect and secure freedom. I encourage all of you to place safety as a top priority during the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

“SECURE THE HIGH GROUND”— Richard P. Formica,

Lieutenant General, USA, Commanding

RetractionIn the May 5 issue of the Hourglass, the Rumor Mill stated there would be a pilot program for teenagers to rent scooters at USAKA. Due to safety concerns, this pilot program has been put on hold.

Article and photos by Sheila GideonManaging Editor

The U.S. dropped approximately 100,000 tons of am-munition during Operation Flintlock (that does not include Japanese ammunition). Ten percent of that ammunition did not detonate and much of it was left behind. The Explosive Ordnance Disposal team on Kwajalein fi nds, on average, one unexploded ordnance per week. Most UXO they dispose of is found courtesy of reports made by residents – whether they found it on Kwajalein, Roi-Namur, Ebeye, Enniburr, Carlson or Gugeegue. Without the help of these reports, dangerous UXO could remain on-island. That’s why the EOD team went to Ebeye Wednesday to educate students on what UXO is and how to recognize, retreat and report it.

EOD Supervisor Brian Bussey and UXO Techni-cian Bryan Harrington visited fi ve schools Wednesday. They gave presentations and handed out pamphlets and coloring books to the students and administrators to help them better recognize UXO. Kwajalein Range Services Special Assistant for RMI Affairs Harden Lelet and RMI Environmental Protection Agency representa-tive Odrikawa Jatios also assisted with the presenta-tions. Lelet contacted the schools and made arrange-ments for the presentations and both Lelet and Jatios helped with Marshallese translation.

Bussey’s main message to the kids was, “Just be-cause UXO is old, doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous.” He further stated that just because bullets (which are most commonly found on the beaches) are not in guns, doesn’t mean they can’t harm you. He recounted

stories when UXO was handled improperly and people were injured and even killed.

Bussey, Lelet and Jatios thoroughly discussed shapes of UXO and compared them to easily recog-nizable objects, such as a teardrop or pineapple. The most common UXO found on Ebeye are grenades, bul-lets and 5-inch projectiles. The EOD team disposed of a 5-inch projectile on Ebeye in February; it was lo-cated near one of the schools. Luckily, the fuze had been sheared off, but that is not always the case when UXO is found.

Lelet and Jatios were critical in getting the message out and making sure the kids really understood how important the information was. While in English there are many words to describe UXO, such as rocket, mortar or grenade, in Marshallese they just call it a bomb. Lelet and Bussey conveyed to the students that regardless of what they call it, they need to remember to recognize, retreat and report.

Bussey said there is usually a spike in reports after they visit and discuss UXO. This time, there was an immediate report. While at the Ebeye Community Cen-ter, Harrington passed out pamphlets to kids at the basketball courts. One immediately told Harrington he recognized ammunition from the pamphlet and had given it to a friend. Harrington told the boy to have his friend report the UXO and turn it in. Before the team could even leave Ebeye, a group of boys brought them a handful of bullets and casings.

The EOD regularly holds education seminars on Kwajalein by visiting the schools or setting up a booth during safety days. They try to visit the Ebeye commu-nity at least once per year.

USAKA resource manager visitsUSAKA Reports

Adriene Fields, Director of Resource Management for U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll,

who is currently located in Hunts-ville, Ala., visited Kwajalein for the fi rst time since coming on duty in her new role. Although the visit was short, the USAKA team pro-vided a series of tours and brief-ings on current and future re-source issues that represent high priorities for the installation. Key topics of discussion included mili-tary construction projects, future unfi nanced requirements and the ongoing transition of base opera-tions to Installation Management Command.

Fields was provided an on-site view of not only Kwajalein facili-ties, but Roi-Namur as well. She received a detailed Reagan Test Site briefi ng which captured key mission requirements and sustain-ment plans for the long term. She also spent some time with the Kwa-jalein Range Services leadership and fi nance proponents, where she discussed the fi elding of the new Army resource management ac-counting system, GEFEBS.

USAKA Deputy to the Command-er, Joe Moscone, was pleased with the visit and said USAKA will ben-efi t from Fields being on the instal-

lation. “Like we tell all of the visi-tors who come to USAKA, actually being here, even for a short time, is vital to their understanding of our operations and our requirements. Getting a real fi rst-hand view on how business is conducted here can’t be truly shown with a Pow-erPoint slide or e-mail”, Moscone said. “With Adriene’s role as our senior fi nancial expert in Hunts-ville, she is also a key advocate for our installation; therefore, coming here to actually meet our govern-ment and contractor team helps us that much more. There is so much change going on at USAKA, not the least of which is our realignment to

IMCOM, support from our CONUS based reach-back team will be cru-cial as we move forward.”

Fields plans on returning to USA-KA in the near future to assist with the planning of the FY13 budget and review other fi nance issues on the island.

“This was a great visit and very useful to see fi rst-hand all of the planned changes that are com-ing this installation”, she stated. “The future of the mission here, and the installation support for that mission, is certainly bright. The information I’ve received will be extremely helpful as important funding decisions are made.”

Then and Now - “Lifeguard Tower”

The Lifeguard Tower at Emon Beach is home to the brave and water-friendly lifeguards of Kwajalein. The retro-looking tower of the 1970s, left, has since been replaced by a more “Kwaj-condition” structure. Still, it provides some shelter from the blistering Kwajalein sun so lifeguards can concentrate on keeping beach bums and swimmers safe.

The Torch Club gathers at the Namo Weto Youth Center Monday for the Run for Heart event to raise money to purchase school supplies for students on Ebeye. The club managed to raise $1,300 from donations.

By Sheila GideonManaging Editor

Students at Kwajalein Jr./Sr. High School fi nished the school year with a fundraiser for their neighboring students. The CYSS Torch Club held their second an-nual “Run for Heart” event Monday. The students collected donations to purchase school supplies for el-ementary students on Ebeye. The run began at 8:30 a.m., in front of the Namo Weto Youth Center. The participants followed a two-mile loop, walking or running their pre-determined distance goal. Partici-pants either took direct donations from community members or were sponsored a pledge per distance.

Students were given pledge sheets and asked members of the community to sponsor them for ei-ther a certain distance or for a di-rect donation. Each participant set a distance goal so they could in-

Torch Club raises money to purchase school supplies for students on Ebeye

form their sponsors of how far they planned to run or walk.

A donation box was set up at the start of the race for those students that just wanted to donate instead of collect pledges. In the end, the students raised a total of $1,300 to purchase school supplies.

Once all the money is gathered, they will purchase the supplies form the Triple J store on Ebeye and send the donations to the vari-ous elementary schools on island. They will purchase basic supplies, like pencils, notebooks and folders.

The Torch Club is a leadership pro-gram run through the youth center. The club consists of seventh- and eighth-grade students. They plan various activities for fellow students, such as dances and day-to-day op-erations at the youth center. The goal of the club is to develop leader-ship and citizenship skills. The club is headed by CYSS Youth Services Director Jared Barrick.

Award Recipients:

Article and photos by Sheila GideonManaging Editor

The dedicated students of Kwa-jalein Jr./Sr. High School were rewarded with recognition May 19 during an awards assembly in the MP Room. Students were acknowl-edged for excellence in various sub-jects. Recognition was not always for excellent academic achieve-ments, but for improvement and perseverance, as well.

U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll/Reagan Test Site Commander Col. Joseph Gaines began the assembly by calling up two students for recognition: Jon-athan Bishop and Colby McGlinn. The two seniors were commended for raising and lowering the American fl ag each school day. Gaines thanked them with a certifi cate of apprecia-tion and Commander’s Coin.

High School Guidance Counselor Jamie Bowers called up 22 students who were given the President’s Award. Recipients were chosen by criteria established by the Presi-dent’s educational award program, and by KHS. Students receiving this award must meet eligibility re-quirements in areas of grades, min-imal scores on standardized tests, be enrolled at least one full semes-ter in the year of the award and must be recommended by school faculty and the principal. Bowers

read aloud a letter from President Barack Obama commending the students for their efforts.

At the end of the assembly, Prin-cipal Al Robinson gave a special presentation. He spoke of a student who arrived at KHS late in the year and overcame several setbacks to become an A/B student. She is on her way to being back on track to graduate on time. This year’s “Come Back Kid” award was given to Renu Nonthra.

One more swim meet on the road to the London Summer Olympics for two localsArticle and photo by Amy LaCostCommunity Contributor

Local swimmers Annie Hepler and Giordan Harris will at-tend the Oceania Swimming

Championships in New Caledonia, scheduled to begin today and end June 3. They have trained hard all year long and have attended other international championship swim meets in Dubai, China, Australia, Palau, Guam and Fiji.

They are each scheduled to par-ticipate in six events, including the 50-meter freestyle, butterfl y, back-stroke and breaststroke, and the 100-meter freestyle and butterfl y. Harris will also swim a 200 individ-ual medley, an event that includes 50 meters of each stroke.

This meet will be the last op-portunity for the swimmers to earn FINA points. FINA, Fédéra-tion Internationale de Natation, is the international governing body of swimming, diving, water polo, synchronized swimming and open water swimming. Points determine who is invited to participate in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

The road to the Olympics has been tough for these young athletes and they have trained hard and partici-pated in all the required meets for the last two years. This will be only the second Olympics the Marshall Islands may be invited to attend.

The Beijing Olympics in 2008 was the fi rst time that the RMI partici-pated. Hepler and Harris have been preparing mentally and physically to do their best at Oceania and will be proud to represent RMI at the Olympics if invited to participate.

Michele Carlson moved to Kwajalein from Knoxville, Tenn. She arrived May 17 and began work as a Project Controls Engineer. Carlson heard about Kwajalein while working at another Bechtel site, so when the job listing opened up she jumped at the opportunity. She is looking for-ward to not having to drive, making new friends and enjoying the laid back island life. While on working on Kwaj she hopes to travel, visit other islands and make new friends.

Move that truck!

In the spirit of “Extreme Makeover Roi-Namur,” the San Juan Construction carpenters parked their truck in front of the new Plumbing/Carpenter Shop prior to the pre-fi nal inspection. They all screamed, “Move that bus!” The truck was driven away from the entrance to allow the inspection team to enter and take a look at the new facility replacing the Korean War shop that was demolished in November 2011. The new building will be turned over to Kwajalein Range Services with a successful fi nal inspection.

Congratulations Team San Juan!
