Northwest Florida Daily News
Two active-duty service members died within a week of each other earlier this month, both from area motorcycle crashes.
Their deaths ser ve as a reminder of the impor-tance of educating service members about motorcycle safety, a mission military officials have focused on in recent years in an effort to curb the number of fatalities among the ranks.
“We’re really pushing the program everywhere, to keep service members continually aware,” said David Clingerman, the safety program manager for the Army 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne). “All of us have moments in life when we let our guard down, we don’t want that to be on a bike.”
One of his Soldiers, Staff Sgt. Andrew Koerner,
28, died when his motorcy-cle crashed into a pick-up truck on State Road 85 on Feb. 8. A Crestview resi-dent also was killed.
Five days earlier, on Feb. 3, Senior Airman Ignacio Arostegui, a 23-year-old assigned to Eglin Air Force Base, died in a crash on U.S. Highway 98 in Destin.
Since 2008, at least
five active-duty service members have been killed in area motorcycle crash-es, including the two deaths this month, ac-cording to the Daily News library.
Clingerman said service members seem to have a propensity to get on bikes, and in recent years the Department of Defense took note of the number of
fatalities.“A lot of these Soldiers,
they go for pretty long de-ployments, save up some money and, especially the younger ones, they like to buy some toys with that money. A lot end up buying a motorcycle,” he said.
After noticing a trend in their traffic fatalities, the Department of Defense implemented more strin-gent safety requirements for those who choose to ride.
“The crux of our pro-grams are to protect our manpower,” Clingerman said. “They are our most precious resource.”
First, all riders must register with the safety of-fice. More than 1,500 area service members are cur-rently registered motorcy-clists, according to military safety officials.
Riders must attend mandatory motorcycle safety training courses. They have to wear cer-tain protective and reflec-tive clothing, including a helmet.
Eglin and Hurlburt Field hold motorcycle safety rallies. Attendance is required for registered riders.
Clingerman hosts group mentor rides where more
experienced motorcyclists can ride with newer ones to pass on safety tips.
He said the programs appear to be working.
Five or 10 years ago, 30 to 50 service members died in motorcycle crashes each year, he said. Today that number has dropped to 10 or so.
Although he has seen improvement, Koerner’s death still was a blow.
Thankfully, he said, it appeared as though he was wearing all the proper pro-tective gear and operating the bike safely when he crashed.
The Florida Highway Patrol, which is investigat-ing the crash, had not re-leased information about the cause of the wreck by Feb. 23.
On Feb. 20, a spokes-woman for the Okaloosa County Sheriff ’s Office said the cause of Arostegui’s crash remained under investigation.
Deputies still were awaiting results of toxicol-ogy reports.

poRt oF SpAIN, trinidad (USASOC News Service) – Service members
assigned to the 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) and the 160th Special Op-erations Aviation Regiment (Airborne), in support of Special Operations Com-mand South, trained with Trinidad and Tobago Air Guard, Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force (TTDF), Coast Guard Special Naval Unit (SNU) and Multi-Op-erational Police Service (MOPS) as part of a month-long Joint Combined Ex-change Training (JCET) fo-cusing on drug interdiction from Jan. 12 to Feb. 14.
JCETs allow U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF)
possess critical skills, build foreign relationships and gain military and cultural experiences. The JCET al-so allows service members to build rapport, military capacity and relationships with military members from Trinidad and Tobago.
The four-week JCET provided an exceptional opportunity for Green Be-rets from 7th Group and an U.S. aviation element from 160th SOAR (A) to train on marksmanship, equipment maintenance, rappelling, fast-roping, and various other tactical maneuvers with Trinidad and Tobago military members and each other.
“We are building rela-tionships, so if something should happen in the future, and we need to work to-gether again, we facilitate a more advantageous
exchange to accomplish the mission,” said the SOC-SOUTH liaison to the 160th SOAR (A) unit. “This was an excellent example of the cooperation that exists between U.S. SOF ground forces, aviation elements and our partner nation counterparts.”
JCETs also allow U.S. military personnel to improve their teaching skills and gain regional knowledge, and the event serves as a great oppor-tunity to learn from their counterparts.
“If we should ever have to serve side-by-side in the future, it is important that we train and prepare together in a variety of sce-narios and situations,” said a 7th Group team leader. “This will make us more ef-

7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Public Affairs Office
EGLIN AIR FoRcE BASE - Special Forces Soldiers and families gathered to learn the “5 Love Languages” during a three-day retreat held on Florida’s Gulf Coast Feb. 14.
Members of the 7th Spe-cial Forces Group (Airborne) participated in the retreat led by the group chaplain, Capt. Todd Ramey, as part of the Army’s Strong Bonds program.
The Strong Bonds pro-gram helped Soldiers and spouses of 7th Group, many whom experienced multiple combat deployments in re-cent years, understand how to thrive in their marriages
and resolve problems using Dr. Gary Chapman’s “Love Languages.”
Ramey’s teachings dur-ing the seminar centered on lessons included his concept that each person has a par-ticular “Love Language.”
According to Ramey, when a couple initially falls in love, there’s a period of time where faults and bad habits are overlooked.
“Eventually you got to move on but the problem is … you start to realize stuff and things start to creep up and things start to creep into the relationship,” said Ramey. “You start having these little arguments and you don’t know how to deal with those things.”
Spouses, according to Chapman, communicate better and solve problems when each understands and
speaks the other’s “Love Language.” A “Love Lan-guage,” says Chapman, can be any combination of physi-cal touching, gift giving, communicating with mean-ingful words, performing acts of service and spending quality time together.
At the beginning of the program, participants were asked to complete a detailed questionnaire to identify what “Love Language” that best resonates with them.
After learning what “Love Language” they com-municate in, Soldiers and
spouses learned about the details of each language from lessons taught by Ramey and Capt. Ishmael Serrano, the group support battalion’s chaplain, us-ing instruction, games and play-acting.
“Love at some point, has to be a decision. It has to be a choice where we say “hey, I am going to love you,” said Ramey. “You realize “hey, I can’t just love them based on all this feel-good stuff. You start to realize that this love is going to take an effort.”
Soldiers and their spous-es were then treated to date-night on Valentine’s Day evening as their children enjoyed childcare offered as part of the Strong Bonds program. Later in the re-treat, families joined togeth-er on the beach for games and an obstacle course.
The retreat concluded as Ramey spoke about the “Love Languages” children and teenagers use to com-municate with each other and their parents.

Last June the VA Advi-sory Committee on Disabil-ity Compensation privately recommended to Allison A. Hickey, under secretary for benefits, that the Depart-ment of Veterans Affairs consider four steps to ad-dress a “recent surge” in VA compensation awards for sleep apnea.
The proposals, which only now come to light, were drafted the same day com-mittee members received a public briefing on sleep apnea, which confirmed a 25-fold jump in compensation payments since 9/11. The VA briefer also noted that 13 percent of all veterans with service after 9/11 and who draw VA disability pay are being compensated for sleep apnea.
The committee, chaired by retired Army Lt. Gen. James Terry Scott, recom-mended that VA: Have compensation
exams for sleep apnea given exclusively by VA doctors to ensure required sleep tests are properly conducted. Have the Institute of
Medicine conduct a detailed study on the degree of actual disability associated with sleep apnea, particularly for veterans who are prescribed a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine, which under VA regulations results in an automatic rat-ing of 50 percent. Conduct a review of
criteria and methodology for establishing service connec-tion to sleep apnea. Review criteria for es-
tablishing average earning loss for veterans diagnosed with sleep apnea.
Which of these did VA un-dertake over the last seven months?
VA officials can’t point
to any ac-tion taken on these recommen-dations, but said they do inform an ongoing process to overhaul the VA Schedule for Rating
Disabilities (VASRD). They may be “redundant of other research associated with the VASRD revision process. … Any recommendations regarding the rating crite-ria for sleep apnea are still under consideration by the regulation drafter for this body system.”
Ratings “assigned for sleep apnea and all other respiratory conditions are being evaluated on an objec-tive basis, using advances in medical science and data from average earnings loss studies,” the VA said.
Meanwhile, in fiscal 2013 veterans receiving compensation for sleep apnea jumped by another 26 percent, or more than 29,000 beneficiaries, VA data show. As of Oct. 1, 143,278 vets were rated disabled by sleep apnea, and 89 percent of their ratings were at least 50 percent.
Reached by email, Scott confirmed sending a memo-randum to Hickey, which he said, “can be described as an interim report on the issue of sleep apnea,” offering advice on behalf of the committee.
“Our advice is based on our understanding of the issue and does not consider the political environment inside or outside VA,” Scott said. “The Secretary may act on our advice, refer our advice to the VA staff for study, or reject our advice in
whole or in part.”The most common form
of sleep apnea is obstructive. It occurs when breathing is interrupted, usually because soft tissue in the back of the throat collapses, blocking the airway. Breathing inter-ruptions, or apneas, can be frequent and last seconds or longer, causing chronic fatigue if untreated.
Incidence of sleep apnea is rising in tandem with obe-sity rates in this country, say medical experts, although there can be other causes.
The most common path to a VA sleep apnea dis-ability rating, the briefer told the committee, is to be “overweight” and have this common sleep disorder di-agnosed as they separate or retire from service.
In revising the VASRD, officials said veterans would be grandfathered against rating downgrades. Any changes would apply only to new claimants. Discussion raises anxieties, however, and also gives rise to new claims.
A 50-percent rating is a key threshold, making retir-ees eligible to receive both full retirement and VA dis-ability pay, at that rate $822 to $1088 a month, depending on family size. Most retirees rated less than 50 percent see retired pay offset, dol-lar-for-dollar, by VA disability pay.
Of roughly 29,200 veter-ans who began receiving sleep apnea compensation in the last year, 93 percent had ratings of 50 percent or higher. So that proportion, already high, appears to be climbing.
By comparison, a soldier who loses two dominant

fingers, such as a thumb and index finger, also earns a dis-ability rating of 50 percent.
Michael Webster, a fam-ily law attorney in Shalimar, Fla., and former naval avia-tor, complained to the House Veterans Affairs Commit-tee last year of widespread abuse in sleep apnea claims. He called the boom in pay-ments a scam perpetuated mostly by retirees coached toward an easy 50-percent rating. If they snore, he said, they know to order a sleep study. Webster called it an offensive for veterans, like his late father, with “real disabilities.”
Is Under Secretary Hickey concerned about tax dollars being wasted in an explosion of sleep apnea claims?
“It is the position of the Veterans Benefits Ad-ministration that it is never a waste of tax dollars to pay veterans the benefits to which they are legally entitled,” the VA responded. “Our primary concern is to ensure that veterans, their families and their survivors receive disability compen-sation to which they are entitled.”
A staff member for the
House Veterans Affairs Committee investigated Webster’s charges and con-cluded “there does not ap-pear to be widespread abuse of compensation related to this disorder.”
His report is silent on the larger issues raised by VA advisers — whether obstruc-tive sleep apnea is disabling when a CPAP is prescribed and provides relief, and whether CPAP usage should trigger a 50-percent rat-ing. As reported here last year, VA’s own top expert on sleep apnea said if a CPAP gives its user a good night’s sleep, there probably is no disability.
“Many people who have sleep apnea and are on treatment are not disabled. I would say the majority,” said Dr. Samuel Kuna, chief of sleep medicine at the Phila-delphia VA Medical Center.
VA didn’t compensate for sleep apnea before 1996. In 2013, VA apnea payments likely totaled between $1.5 billion to $2 billion a year.

fective on any other future missions.
At the end of the four weeks, a culmination ex-ercise was conducted on Chacachacare Island, the western-most island off of Trinidad, which tested all the skills that were prac-ticed during the JCET. NSU naval boats were used to transport TTDF and 7th Group members, while U.S. military helicopters transported SNU over the forest canopy onto their target. The combined SOF members rappelled onto the Landing Zone and met up with the members traveling via boat during the training scenario. The
teams cleared a building, accomplished their objec-tive and then departed by boat and fast rope via heli-copter when the exercise was complete.
“I felt that we built capa-bilities and interoperability with this unit, and I definite-ly hope that we continue to work together for many years to come,” said a 7th Group team leader.
Trinidad and Tobago’s geographical position, its porous borders, and its di-rect transportation routes to Europe, West Africa, the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean make it an ideal location for drug transshipment.
This exchange greatly benefited Trinidad and To-bago’s security forces get-ting the opportunity to learn new techniques as they protect their nation from the threat of Transnational Organized Crime.
“This was a great train-ing experience,” said a
TTDF member. “Everyone was professional and we all learned from each other. I hope that we can continue this partnership for several years.”
JCETs are also part of Special Operations Com-mand South’s Theater Security Cooperation pro-
gram that enables Special Operations Forces (SOF) train with partner nation military and defense forces overseas.
This type of training is essential in ensuring suc-cessful cooperation during combined missions in mul-tinational environments.
SOCSOUTH, based in Homestead is responsible for all U.S. Special Opera-tions activities in the Carib-bean, Central and South America and serves as the SOF component for U.S. Southern Command under the direction of U.S. Special Operations Command.
