with Santa
The USAG-RC and Area 1 Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (FMWR) Department invites
the community to a Christmas Dinner with Santa and free Christmas presents on December 24, 2013 at
Camp Red Cloud Mitchell’s Club. This event marks a timeless tradition for Soldiers and Civilian families
and friends, including Korean employees and their families, to share a night of holiday music and a
sumptuous dinner buffet commemorating this Christmas season.
“It’s hard, especially for Soldiers who are away from their families for the first time. But we at Family
and MWR want them to know that we’re here for them,” says Mitchell’s Club Manager Mark Onstad.
“We’re reaching out to leaders to pass the word, letting Soldiers know they don’t have to be alone
in their barracks or their apartments this Christmas Eve and encouraging them to join their extended
family for this special Christmas event at Mitchell’s Club,” Onstad says.
As an added Christmas treat, everyone, adults and children, will receive a very special Christmas
present, wrapped with tender loving care and presented by Santa himself, courtesy of the USAG Red
Cloud/Area l FMWR Department.
“We want to do something special for Soldiers, Katusas, U.S. and Korean civilian employees and their
family members, so in addition to Santa and the awesome presents he’ll be giving away, the chef and I
are working a little kitchen magic for Christmas dinner. This will truly be a Christmas Eve to remember
for everyone who attends," Onstad says.
And what a dinner it will be, complete with roast turkey, smoked ham, BBQ Ribs, bread dressing,
mashed potatoes with gravy, rice, sweet yams, green bean casserole, buttered corn, salad bar, seasonal
breads & rolls, eggnog, and a variety of pies and desserts to satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth.
For most people Christmas is normally a joyous occasion, but for those spending it far away from
home it can be a lonely, stressful time. Why not enjoy Christmas Eve with friends at Mitchell’s and take
advantage of this very special treat consisting of good food, live holiday music, a free Christmas present
and framed photo with Santa with your dinner buffet purchase. See you there.

BUDGETING

FOR THE HOLIDAYS
It's the time of year for gift giving, entertaining, holiday parties, and for many–overspending and
ﬁnancial stress. This year, enjoy the season without letting holiday spending get the better of you; the tips
and tools below will help. Setting a realistic holiday budget and making sure to stick to it is the ﬁrst step
to enjoying a more affordable and less stressful season. Here are a few ways to handle gift giving and
celebrations without breaking the bank:

1. Set Your Budget
The best place to start making a holiday budget is to look at your spending during last year's holiday
season. In what areas did you spend more than planned? Next, make a list of the holiday purchases
and events you plan to spend money on this year. Consider all of your major spending categories: gifts,
entertaining, meals, and travel–then estimate how much you can afford to spend in each category. Knowing
your spending goals long beforehand will help you stay on track financially as the season heats up. You
can access your Holiday Budget Calculator at: http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/calculators/calculate/
yourHolidayBudget.php?calcCategory=budget

2. Get Creative
One great way to save money and wow friends and families is
to get creative. Store-bought gifts are great, but homemade
gifts are often more meaningful and most recipients truly
appreciate your time and effort. Ideas for creative gift
projects are plentiful online such as this one: http://
www.practicalmoneyskills.com/personalfinance/
savingspending/budgeting/%20http:/www.
tipjunkie.com/category/homemade-gifts/
If you like the idea of a personal touch and
affordability but don't have the time or skill to
make gifts yourself, the ultimate marketplace for
homemade gifts is at: http://www.etsy.com where
you can find crafty items from over 200,000
sellers.

46


3. Join Together
Instead of excessively spending on each other this year, join together
with family members to help those who may be less fortunate. Online
opportunities are easy to find, and there are several in the article
Helping Others When Money Is Tight at: http://www.practicalmoneyskills.
com/personalfinance/experts/practicalmoneymatters/columns/
contributions_112108.php Other opportunities for online giving can be
found at Oxfam International on: http://www.oxfam.org/ or ACCION at:
http://www.accion.org

4. Travel Wisely
If you plan on traveling, take some time to determine how much it will
cost you with a Holiday Travel Planner at: http://www.practicalmoneyskills.
com/calculators/calculate/travelBudgeting.php?calcCategory=family
and don't forget these holiday travel planning tips at: http://www.
practicalmoneyskills.com/calculators/calculate/travelTips.html

5. Entertain for Less
Holidays are a wonderful time to entertain, but a little planning and
budgeting can help you avoid financial headaches. Consider using a Holiday
Entertainment Planner such as this: http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/
calculators/calculate/entertainmentPlanner.php?calcCategory=family to
help you ensure a fun event that won't tax you financially. Also check out
these Holiday Entertainment Tips at: http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/

budget in shape.

THINGS
YOU
NEED
TO
KNOW
ACS Newcomer’s Orientation Class
Has the Answers
Story Photos by SGT Micus Ralls
Adjusting to life in Korea can be a daunting experience for many newcomers, but luckily for them the
U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area l Army Community Service (ACS) office at Camp Casey has a special
program available designed to help with the transition process.
Shortly after arriving in country, newcomers, Soldiers, Family members, civilian personnel and their
families soon realize the many differences between living in South Korea and the U.S., not the least of
which are the language barrier, driving conditions, variety of food and other cultural differences that make
living here interesting and in most cases fun.
But despite these major differences, everyone, whether visiting Korea for the first time or returning for
another tour, can still enjoy their time in Korea and, more specifically, their time in the Area l community.
And that’s where the ACS ‘Community Newcomers’ Orientation,’ offered on the 3rd Monday of every
month at the Camp Casey ACS, can help. The orientation is open to all USFK I.D. card-holders, including
family members and active duty personnel.
The class involves a number of representatives from various departments and organizations within the
Area l community, including subject matter experts from Camp Casey, Camp Red Cloud, and Camp Stanley,
each giving attendees the latest information about their respective activity or program along with tips and
timely advice to help make the transition to Area l easier and more comfortable. Returning members also
benefit from the class with new, updated information regarding changes in policies, programs or facilities
since their last assignment in country.

48


The day long class begins at 8:30 a.m. with welcoming

Mark Hagelin

remarks from either the Casey Garrison Commander or his
appointed representative, who explain the ‘big picture’
that encompasses Area l, including the many various
tenant commands and units that call Area l home.
“The Newcomer’s Orientation is designed to give
newcomers, and anyone returning to Korea for a
second or third tour, the latest, most up-to-date
information about what they can expect during
their tour here,” says orientation coordinator Mark
Hagelin, ACS Information Referral and Follow-up
Program Manager.
“The class is open to everyone and most folks leave
here with a much better understanding of what they
can expect during their time here. We get compliments
all the time from people who complete the class, telling
us how much they learned in such a short time. It’s important
information that they can use on a daily basis. Much of the

IN THE ZonE

49

information they receive here they can’t
get anywhere else, so this class is a
great benefit to military and civilians
alike,” Hagelin says.
A number of subject matter
representatives, including those from
the Legal Office, Non-combatant
Evacuation Operation (NEO), Troop
Medical Clinic, TRICARE, Army
Substance Abuse Program (ASAP),
American Red Cross, Legal Office
and a host of other key partners that
comprise the Area l community present
their programs and answer questions from
attendees.
“It’s not unusual to hear someone who
attended the briefing say later that they thought
they already knew most of the information, only to
discover during the class that they either had it wrong
or didn’t know the information in the first place. This is
especially true with attendees who have been here for several
months and thought they knew everything there is to know about Area
l,” Hagelin stated.
“Military spouses in particular are always impressed with the orientation because they get accurate
and timely information first-hand and can ask questions from the subject matter experts. They really
appreciate that,” he says.
Following the classroom portion of the orientation attendees participate in a four-hour tour of the
area that focuses on how to get around in the off-base community using public transportation. The tour
includes a short walk to the Bosan Subway Station near the Camp Casey Main Gate where attendees
are given hands on training on the use of the automated ticket machines and a brief orientation of the
subway system in general.
Once everyone is familiar with the basics, they board the subway bound for Uijeongbu Station
(transportation paid by ACS), the hub for local shopping and dining in Area l, where they visit the
popular Shinsaegae Department complex and underground shopping area before having lunch
(attendees pay for their meal) at any one of the many local restaurants available.
“This part of the orientation is especially popular with attendees. Most of them have never used public
transportation here because it can be confusing if you’ve never tried it before. Once they see how easy
and efficient it is to get around in Korea, they feel much more comfortable using the system,” Hagelin
states.
The Newcomer’s Orientation class is available once a month and Hagelin says everyone is welcome to
sign up, no matter if you’re new to Korea or if you’ve been here before.
“There’s always something new and interesting to be gained from attending the class,” he says.
For more information or to sign up for the next Newcomer's Orientation Class, call 730-3107.

Kaitlyn West

Newcomer to Korea and new Army
wife Kaitlyn West, who hails from
Florida, attended a recent Newcomer’s
Orientation Brief and had this to say
about her experience:
ITZ: Where were you stationed before arriving in Korea?
West: This is my first time being a military spouse. I recently got married and my husband is in school right
now.
ITZ: Are you command sponsored?
West: No.
ITZ: How did you hear about the Newcomer’s Orientation Brief?
West: I heard about it on Facebook and I’ve been to the ACS Office once before and saw the notice about it.
ITZ: So you decided to just show up and see what it’s all about?
West: Yeah. With me being new to the Army in general, I figured it would be good information to know.
ITZ: Was there anything in the class that you already knew?
West: I went through the NEO process before and thought I was familiar with that a little bit, but now I
know much more about it. I had heard about some of the other programs, but not in such detail. I also was
happy to hear about the volunteering program too.
ITZ: Being a new spouse and new to Korea and the Army, what were your major concerns about coming to
Korea?
West: The language barrier, for one. I really didn’t know what to expect. The time difference was an issue
until I got the hang of it. I kept calling family members back in the States and waking them up in the middle
of the night. Once I accidently sent a text message at the wrong time.
ITZ: What is the most difficult part of living here versus the States?
West: Knowing where to go for different things. The food too. Not knowing what things are. I’m generally
not a picky eater, but at least I would like to know what I’m eating.
ITZ: Anything else you would like to mention about your time in Korea?
West: Yes. I definitely enjoy being here. It’s very interesting. Some people I know complain there is nothing
to do here, but I think there is. It’s really interesting and I’m happy to be here.

USAG Red Cloud, Casey and Area I

Volunteer of the Month
HHC 1-72 AR
The First Tank Volunteer Program, under the
direction of SFC Vannak R. Sim and Sergeant
Lenin L. Osorio of HHC Scout Platoon, provides
opportunities throughout the year for Soldiers
and their Family Members to interact with local
Korean citizens and to explore the countryside.
Soldiers of First Tank participated in multiple
volunteer activities in the community in recent
months, including cleaning rivers, community
parks and beaches as well as indoor events such
as cooking and cleaning for the elderly and
volunteer work at area schools. Volunteers
also worked with the Camp Casey USO,
providing assistance during training activities.
By volunteering their time and expertise,
1-72 Armor Battalion Soldiers gain valuable life
lessons while providing valuable service to their
host country. Some Soldiers are now eligible
for medals and other special recognition for
their outstanding community service efforts.
The First Tank Volunteer Program encourages
Soldiers to spend some of their free time in
productive ways. As a result, many volunteer at
least once every month, some more frequently,
to help build stronger ties between the two
countries by volunteering to assist in a number
of community projects. Well done!

Interested in volunteering to improve your resume for future possible employment?
Call the Camp Casey Army Community Service (ACS) front desk at 730-3107 for more
information. They'll be happy to assist you.
