Sgt. Andrew Mahoney received the Silver Star Medal for his heroic actions in Afghanistan that saved the lives of 24 people. In August 2012, Mahoney and another soldier disrupted a suicide bomber attack on their patrol by tackling the bomber to the ground, where he detonated his vest. Mahoney was injured but continued to secure the area. The attack killed 4 soldiers and wounded others. At a ceremony, Mahoney was praised for his bravery and humility, though he said he was just doing his job.

Sgt.MahoneyreceivesSilverStarMedalBy Maj. Christopher Thomas
4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team Public
Affairs Officer, 4th Infantry Division
Sgt. Andrew Mahoney received the nation’s third
highest award for valor in combat for his actions
while serving in Afghanistan, during a ceremony
Monday at the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team,
4th Infantry Division, headquarters.
Maj. Gen. Paul J. LaCamera, commanding
general, 4th Inf. Div. and Fort Carson, presented the
Silver Star Medal to Mahoney, in front of several
hundred members of the “Mountain Warrior”
Brigade, his Family and Gold Star
Family members.
Lt. Col. Neal Doherty,
commander, 4th Special Troops
Battalion, 4th IBCT, 4th Inf.
Div., described Mahoney as a
humble Soldier and leader.
“If you asked him about that
day, he will tell you he was just
doing his job,” said Doherty.
Mahoney distinguished him-
self Aug. 8, when two suicide
bombers approached Col. James
Mingus, then 4th BCT commander,
and other members of the com-
mand group as they moved on foot from a coalition
base to the Kunar Provincial Governor’s Compound
for a security meeting. Mahoney and Personal
Security Detachment Commander Capt. Florent
Groberg, identified a suspicious individual with an
abnormal bulge protruding from his clothing moving
toward the patrol.
Taking immediate and spontaneous action, fully
believing the individual to be targeting Mingus with a
suicide vest, Mahoney and Groberg charged the
individual to prevent him from entering the patrol.
They threw the attacker to the ground where he then
detonated his suicide vest, wounding Mahoney and
Groberg. Mahoney and Groberg’s
actions greatly disrupted the attack,
preventing an even greater loss of
life, according to the citation.
A second suicide bomber
targeted the patrol in the aftermath of
the first attack, detonating his vest,
killing and wounding several
members of the patrol. In spite of his
own injuries, Mahoney maintained
focus on securing the brigade com-
mander and other survivors.
Killed in the blast were 4th BCT
Command Sgt. Maj. Kevin Griffin;
Maj. Thomas Kennedy; brigade
fire support officer; Maj. Walter Gray, brigade air
liaison officer; and Ragaei Abdelfattah, U.S. Agency
for International Development representative. Several
other members of the brigade’s leadership were
seriously wounded along with senior State
Department representative Jeff Lodinsky.
LaCamera praised Mahoney’s valor and courage.
“He’s selfless, humble, courageous and willing to
give his life for the mission and his fellow Soldiers,”
LaCamera said. “Your actions represent the valor and
spirit and the leadership of our NCO corps.
“The backbone of our great Army; it is not the
weapons or equipment, but the men and women like
Sgt. Mahoney, that make the U.S. military the
greatest in the world,” he said.
After the ceremony, Mahoney, a communications
noncommissioned officer, thanked those in attendance,
and honored those who could not be there.
“Definitely honored, it’s a bittersweet day,” he
said. “I wish I could go back and play the whole day
over again, but it is definitely an honor to stand
before all these people and receive this award.”
Mahoney’s heroic actions protected the 24
other Soldiers in the patrol, but to him, he was just
doing his job.
His wife Melanie Mahoney sees it differently.
“I’m just so happy. He’s my hero,” she said. “Even
if he doesn’t think so, every day, (he’s) my hero.”
“If you asked
him about that
day, he will tell
you he was just
doing his job.”

Crisscrossing Fort Carson in the
post shuttle, Spc. Devin Matthew
Sexton proved to be a courteous,
professional and efficient driver.
“I enjoyed it. I felt like I was able
to give back to the single Soldiers.
For many, that’s their only mode
of transportation,” said Sexton, a
tanker with 1st Battalion, 66th Armor
Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade
Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division.
Throughout his 15 weeks as a
shuttle driver, Sexton earned numerous
compliments from riders who
commended him for his enthusiasm
and effort to make each ride enjoyable.
“I like meeting new people
and learning about them,” he said.
“One day I picked up a guy from
Iraq. He was an interpreter and now
he’s a Soldier. … I like learning
about other Soldiers.”
Sexton said he operated the shuttle
every other day, including weekends
and holidays. Shifts ranged from seven
to 11 hours, depending on the day. On
his days off, he trained and prepared
for an upcoming deployment.
“On our days off we were doing
pre-deployment (Soldier Readiness
Processing),” he said. “We had to
go in and do online courses, packing
and preparation.”
Despite the heavy workload,
Sexton remained upbeat, listening
to country music and Christian rock
stations as he drove the streets of
the Mountain Post.
“I was listening to the Christian
station and picked up a guy. He
started talking to me and he said that
the music helped him decide to attend
church and he asked to be dropped
off at the chapel,” said Sexton. “That
opened my eyes that there was more
happening out there than me driving.”

It takes leadership to stop
sexual harassment, assaultBy Maj. Gen. Paul J. LaCamera
Commanding general, 4th Infantry
Division and Fort Carson
Sexual assault and harassment has
been a problem within the military. It is
still an issue within our ranks at Joint
Task Force Carson.
One might say “we have left our
fallen comrades behind.”
It must be eliminated.
Former Secretary of Defense Leon
Panetta estimated 19,000 sexual assaults
occurred within the military in 2011.
From 2010-2012, statistics show 158
founded sex related offenses occurred at
Fort Carson, with approximately 50 founded offenses
occurring each year.
This is unacceptable.
Every Soldier, noncommissioned officer and officer
knows this is unacceptable.
It is time for this to change. And in order to change,
Fort Carson leaders and Soldiers must hold themselves and
each other to a high standard.
Leadership and enforcement are key to stopping this
behavior. Sexual harassment and assault diminishes and
undermines our combat readiness, our commitment to the
Warrior Ethos and our roles as protectors of this nation. Our
leaders and our Soldiers must take ownership of this problem.
To eliminate sexual assault and harassment, we need to
invoke a cultural change. That change begins with leaders.
No more will we tolerate the off-color humor, the
sexually-suggestive verbiage and the degrading treatment
toward our fellow men and women in uniform. The key to
eliminating this behavior is not tolerating it, and therefore,
our leaders must enforce the standards. Sexual harassment
and assault are splinters within our ranks.
The building of cohesive, highly
trained teams at the lowest level is required
to fulfill our obligation of winning our
nation’s wars. Our success is reliant
on trust where Soldiers depend on the
person to the left and the right to
accomplish the mission.
Incidents of harassment and assault
destroy that cohesiveness. It destroys
units and organizations.
More importantly, it destroys Soldiers.
Our leaders at the lowest levels must
enforce standards of conduct. Our squad,
platoon, and company-level leadership
need to be vigilant of these indicators
and must enforce the Army standards.
In addition to upholding these standards, leadership
must also create a trusting environment, so if a Soldier
experiences harassment or assault, he or she feels
confident in reporting the incident.
And confident their leadership will act.
Oftentimes, victims do not feel confident in reporting
incidents of harassment and assault for fear of being
blamed or that the accused is “protected.”
Strong leadership results in trust.
Victims must trust their chain of command to act;
otherwise they will not report these incidents and the
cycle of harassment and assault continues.
Eradicating sexual assault requires that leaders be
engaged at the lowest level. There is no gray area.
We will continue to educate but what is needed
now more than ever is enforcement of the standard;
enforcement of our Army values; enforcement of treating
all with dignity and respect; and accountability.
We must make the hunters the hunted.
I challenge all of you to live the Soldier’s Creed
and never leave a fallen comrade behind.

CG, CSM visit deployed troopsStory and photo by Spc. Andrew Ingram
1st Armored Brigade Combat Team Public
Affairs Office, 4th Infantry Division
CAMP BUEHRING, Kuwait — The com-
manding general and senior enlisted leader of 4th
Infantry Division and Fort Carson visited Soldiers of
1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Inf. Div., at
Camp Buehring, Kuwait, April 17.
The visit marked Maj. Gen. Paul J. LaCamera’s first
interaction with the “Raider” Brigade’s deployed troops
since taking command of the “Ivy” Division in March.
“All I can promise you is good leadership,”
LaCamera said, sharing his command philosophy
with troops assembled for the re-enlistment of more
than 50 Soldiers. “The road ahead may be difficult,
and I can’t promise you will have all the amenities
of home, but you deserve good leadership.You require
it, and I promise you will have it.”
LaCamera administered the Oath of Enlistment
to the re-enlisting Soldiers, affirming their continued
service to the nation.
Command Sgt. Maj.
Brian Stall encouraged the
Soldiers to remain resilient
throughout the deployment,
and commended the re-
enlisting Soldiers for their
continued commitment to
the Army.
“I want you to know how
truly proud we are of all of
you, for the sacrifices you
are making out here,” said
Stall. “Few have the courage
to choose this profession,
and to continue serving is a
testament to your character.”
Listening to the division
leaders’ words highlighted
the importance of the
brigade’s mission for many
Soldiers, said Spc. Ricky
McKnight, Company A, 4th
Brigade Support Battalion,
1st ABCT.

DPW sets heating to cooling season transition scheduleBy Bruce Gronczniak
Operations and Maintenance
Division, Directorate of
Public Works
The Directorate of Public Works
operations and maintenance contractor,
Fort Carson Support Services, begins
the seasonal transition from heating to
cooling in installation facilities May 1.
The process, which includes turning
off heating and turning on cooling
systems for the summer, takes
approximately four weeks, but due to
limited funding and manpower it
could take up to 60 days. The transition
is prioritized, based on the type of
facility to maximize comfort for
building occupants. DPW and FCSS
request customer patience as the
transition takes place.
The following is a tentative
schedule, subject to change as weather
dictates, for shutting down and
isolating heating systems. During this
period, buildings’ cooling systems will
also be turned on for the upcoming
cooling season.
May 1-22: All child care facilities,
Soldier barracks, community service
facilities (chapels, theater, Special
Events Center, legal, etc.), operational
dining facilities and post and division
headquarters buildings.
May 23-June 30: All remaining
buildings, facilities and industrial areas.
During cooling season, the temper-
ature for comfort cooling is set in
accordance with the 4th Infantry
Division’s fiscal 2013 Energy
Efficiency Measures policy.
The policy requires that areas with
thermostat-controlled air conditioning
are not cooled to a temperature lower
than 74 degrees. DPW maintains
appropriate cooling temperatures for
those facility systems controlled by the
Energy Management Control System.
Air conditioners should not be
turned on when the outside temperature
is below 72 degrees, and must be
turned off at close of business each
day, unless the facility is occupied
or has sensitive equipment needing
cooling, such as computer main-
frames and servers.
If cooling is needed lower than the
policy temperature ranges outlined, an
exception must be requested through
DPW. For more information, call
the DPW at 526-9241.
After seasonal transition, cooling
systems that do not appear to be
operating properly in a facility should
be reported to FCSS at 526-5345 to
request a service order for repairs.
“It is very important for us to see our leadership,”
McKnight said. “By coming to see us at Camp
Buehring, they reminded us why we are here and
what we are accomplishing. It was very motivating
to see them.”
After the re-enlistment, the 4th Inf. Div. leaders
had lunch with brigade company commanders and
first sergeants, met with the brigade’s senior staff
to discuss their command philosophy and highlight
the importance of sharing resiliency lessons with
Raider Soldiers.
LaCamera then visited the Camp Buehring
Training Village, where he observed Soldiers
honing their warrior skills.
“It was a little nerve-wracking, but the extra
pressure made all of us perform a little bit better,”
said Spc. Marcus Yancey, transportation specialist,
Company A, 4th BSB, after completing combat
lifesaver course training lanes.
LaCamera and Stall visited the Raider Soldiers
following a weeklong trip to Afghanistan.

5. 5April 26, 2013 — MOUNTAINEER
ASAPreachesSoldiersthroughcomedyStory and photos by
Staff Sgt. Wallace Bonner
4th Infantry Division Public Affairs
“Alcohol and drug prevention briefs are tough;
how do you make that topic interesting and keep
everyone’s attention?”
Bernie McGrenahan’s answer to his own
question is “entertainment,” which he brought
to 734 members of the Fort Carson community
through two, one-hour shows at the McMahon
Auditorium, April 18, sponsored by the Army
Substance Abuse Program.
“I figure that if I can get (the audience)
laughing, if you’ll let me bring you some comedy and
maybe entertain you, then maybe you’ll trust
me and let me tell my story,” said McGrenahan.
“It’s all fact. It’s true, and it’s from the heart.”
The comedian’s comfortable stage presence,
ability to connect and easy humor kept the audience
in a constant chuckle for the entertainment portion,
the first half of the show. McGrenahan’s seamless
transition into the alcohol and drug abuse portion,
coupled with his storytelling ability, made the
alcohol abuse part of the show.
“It was amazing, it was a lot better than
PowerPoint,” said Pvt. Zachary Grieger, Company D,
1st Battalion, 66th Armor Regiment, 1st Armored
Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division.
“I didn’t quit laughing the whole time, except for
when (he was) talking about his brother.”
McGrenahan used both his own personal
experience of alcohol abuse, from a teenager
until he was 24; and his brother’s drinking, which led
to his suicide, to reach Soldiers about the
dangers of alcohol.
The comedian’s sharing of the intimate details
of his life in regard to alcohol addiction was
appreciated by the Soldiers.
“I liked that he put some real-life testimony
with it,” said Staff Sgt. Walter Johnson, Company D,
1st Bn., 66th Armor Reg. “The personal testimony
lets Soldiers know they can beat (alcohol).
“Being able to laugh at the same time (as
learning) has been a great benefit,” said Johnson.
“This put a beautiful spin on a tough subject.”
McGrenahan went longer than scheduled, which
he said was due to the powerful connection he had
with the audience, and that he wanted to make sure
the message really came across to the Soldiers.
“I know alcohol like a book, and I know about
Soldiers,” McGrenahan said. “I know what it is to
have a couple drinks and have a good time, but I also
know what it is like to drink too much and
have it affect my life, and every area of my life; my
finances, my relationships and my job.
“I just want to help Soldiers identify that ‘yes,
I do have it under control,’ or possibly ‘I’ve been
under stress and drinking too much, and this
person helped me realize it. I’m going to go speak to
my resources and get on track.’”
McGrenahan said the best part of doing the
ASAP show is connecting with the audience,
and the emails he receives from people that see
his performances.
He shared one he had received after a show:
“‘Hey man, I just left your show, and honestly,
you have me thinking about myself. Your story hit me
more than anyone else’s has, ever. I’ve used ASAP
before, when I first came back from deployment. It
helped me not go all-out stupid drunk, but I still
continue to drink.’”
The sender also asked for advice on how he could
control his drinking.
McGrenahan said when he receives an email
that states, “‘You made me realize that maybe
I have a problem,’ or ‘You made me realize that
I don’t want to go down that path, you helped me
open my eyes,’ that’s the payoff right there.”
Susanne Watts, ASAP prevention coordinator,
was pleased with how McGrenahan was received.
“I think it went well,” said Watts. “I don’t think
people minded that it went long; I didn’t see people
doing the cell phone checks or checking their
watches. I think they were engaged. We’ve tried scare
tactics before; they don’t work so well.”
Watts said ASAP tries to bring in something
different with each big campaign. The next one will
be Summer Sense, which will focus on all the outside
events that typically include the use of alcohol.
Comedian Bernie McGrenahan entertains Fort Carson
community members during an Army Substance Abuse
Program show at McMahon Auditorium, April 18. McGrenahan
performed a comedy routine prior to engaging the audience
with his own experiences with alcohol addiction.
“I figure that if I can get (the audience)
laughing, if you’ll let me bring you
some comedy and maybe entertain
you, then maybe you’ll trust me and
let me tell my story. It’s all fact. It’s
true, and it’s from the heart.”

“Demand Soars For Knee Arthritis Treatment FDA
Approved, Covered By Most Insurance Even Medicare”
Osteo Relief Institute offers effective, technologically enhanced arthritis treatment…
prepares for overwhelming demand as news of its results spread across the El Paso County area...
El Paso County – Arthritis sufferers can’t get it
fast enough and doctors offering it can’t keep up
with the demand.
“Results are truly impressive and patients are
thrilled,” says the staff at Osteo Relief Institute For
Spine, Joint And Neuropathy Pain located at 1465
Kelly Johnson Blvd. Suite 100.
They are referring to their innovative arthritis
treatment program featuring Hyalgan at The Osteo
Relief Institute in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
They’ve found that the response has been a little
overwhelming. Once patients found out there is an
FDA approved, Doctor administered arthritis treat-
ment that actually works – without the side effects
of toxic pain pills or risks of replacement surgery -
What Is This Treatment
And How Does It Work?
If you are suffering with knee (or other joint)
arthritis and pain, you are not alone. Degenera-
tive joint disease or “arthritis” affects 21 million
Ameri- cans and typically involves the weight
bearing joints – like your knees. According to the
American College of Rheumatology, nearly 70%
of people over the age of 70 have x-ray evidence of
the disease (and the ranks much younger victimsof
-
cantly).
The worst thing is: Arthritis can be devastat-
ing. The pain can keep you up at night and make
getting out of bed and moving around a daunting
task. The pain and stiffness
can drain all the happiness
and joy right out of a per-
son’s life.
And up until now, treat-
ment options have been lim-
ited, not that good... or that
appealing to most patients.
The basic protocol has
been a steady diet of toxic
pain pills until your joints
completely wear out and
then it’s time to surgically
replace the knee joint.
But Now Things Have Changed
Osteoarthritis is a joint disease that mostly
affects the cartilage. Cartilage is the tissue that
covers the ends on bones in a joint. When healthy,
cartilage allows bones to glide smoothly over one
another and acts as a shock absorber.
Your “normal” knee also contains a small
lubricates the joint – much like oil lubricates the
engine of your car.
In osteoarthritis, the cartilage breaks down
lubricating properties and “dries up.” This is like
running your car with very old or no oil at all. Now
as you attempt to use your knee(s), there is not
enough lubrication which causes bones to grind
together resulting in pain, swelling, stiffness and
the joint continues to wear out. This is a vicious
cycle and can lead to bone-on-bone rubbing and
excruciating pain.
problem. They simply mask the pain so you do not
feel the pain as your joints continue to deteriorate.
The eventual repercussions of this are obvious.
Hyalgan Is Very Different
And here is why: It contains hyaluronate, one of
Hyalgan is precisely introduced directly into your
knee joint in a series of 3-5 treatments (depend-
ing on severity) over a 4 to 6 week period. This
instantly cushions the joint, reduces friction and
allows greater motion with less pain or no pain at
all in some cases.
Hyalgan treatment not only lubricates the joint,
but it acts as a shock absorber helping reduce
Here’s something very important to consider:
Even though Hyalgan IS a natural substance and is
NOT considered a drug, it is NOT something you
can get at your local health food store. It is scien-
companies, FDA approved and can ONLY adminis-
What’s Results Can You Expect?
Pharmaceuticals and their FDA clearance research,
“A course of Hyalgan treatment– will relieve pain
in a majority of patients for 6 months without the
-
tory drug (NSAID) therapy. In many patients, the
effect of Hyalgan is likely to last even longer than
6 months.”
And the best part is: Since Hyalgan is a natural
substance; it can be used over and over without
risk. If it works for you, you may be able to look
forward to years with less pain.
Who Should Consider Hyalgan Therapy, Where
Can You Get It And When Should You Start?
You should certainly consider Hyalgan therapy
if you have been diagnosed with knee arthritis
or told you need a knee replacement. If you have
not been diagnosed with arthritis but have either
climbing stairs or loss of motion in the knee – you
should consider a screening to determine what the
cause of your problem may be. If you have any of
those issues mentioned, there is
a very good chance you already
have - or are starting to get arthri-
tis.
Very Important –
Do Not Wait Here’s Why...
Studies indicate that if the
arthritis is caught soon enough,
the cushioning effect of the of
the treatments, may help slow
the progression and help many
avoid joint replacement surgery
all together. In other words, the
sooner you start – the sooner you
may see results.
Does the procedure hurt? A local anesthetic is
given and the procedure is virtually painless. Most
patients say it feels like nothing more than a slight
“pinching” sensation... that’s it.
Why Treatments At Osteo Relief Institute
Are So Extremely Precise
Our doctors are particularly well trained in
state-of-the-art digital motion imaging which al-
lows them to see inside the joint and get the natural
cushioning Hyalgan medicine exactly where it
needs to go. This makes sure treatments have the
best possibility for maximum success. This is very
important because studies clearly indicate that doc-
tors doing these types of proce-
dures - without digital imaging
- can miss the joint space up to
30% of the time.
How To Check Out This
Breakthrough Treatment And
See It Is Right For You-
For FREE
All the doctors at Osteo
Relief Institute are extremely
excited about the response and
results with this wonderful treat-
ment and would like to share it
with as many arthritis sufferers
as possible.
But There Is A Problem...
Even though Hyalgan can help
many patients, it is not a wonder cure. It does not
help everyone.
For that reason, every potential patient should
have a free knee screening. You will only be ac-
cepted if we feel you are most likely to get the pain
relief and outcome you are looking for.
That’s why Osteo Relief Institute would like to
invite you to come in for a knee arthritis screening
at no cost to see if you actually are a candidate for
a comprehensive evaluation and Hyalgan treat-
ments.

Explosions run in Spc. Matthew Kumpe’s Family.
“My wife and I are in the fireworks business,” said Mike
Kumpe, Matthew Kumpe’s father. “But we have nothing
like this. This is a little bit bigger.”
Three generations of Kumpes joined other Families of the
663rd Ordnance Company, 242nd Explosive Ordnance Disposal
Battalion, 71st Ordnance Group (EOD), at Range 121 for the
Family Demo Day, Saturday.
“I think this is a good thing,” Mike Kumpe said. “Talking,
visiting, bringing Families in, I think it’s nice they get acquainted.
And seeing the explosions are exciting.”
Family members witnessed explosive demonstrations put on by
EOD Soldiers, test-drove military robots and tried on bomb suits.
“It’s always fun to see more,” said Lauren Bagley, wife of
Sgt. Matthew Bagley. “That way when they talk about it, you
know what they’re talking about.”
Sadie Savannah donned an EOD Bomb Disposal Suit,
getting a taste of an EOD technician’s world.
“It’s so heavy,” she said. “It hurts your neck.”
Savannah said the suit was hot and made her feel
claustrophobic.
“I give them major props for being able to do that,” she said.
“This event is a good way to spend more time together with
loved ones before the deployment,” said 1st Lt. Patrick Ting,
officer in charge for the event.
Set to deploy in the summer, EOD techs enjoyed the
opportunity to bond with their spouses and children.
“It’s a nice thing to do and it doesn’t happen often,” said 1st
Lt. Adam Lawrence. “We’re about to leave soon so it’s fun to get
the Families together.”
Matthew Kumpe’s children said they enjoyed operating
the robots.
“I like that you see it through your glasses,” said Kamton
Kumpe, 10.
“It was like seeing it through an Iron Man suit,” Kedan
Kumpe, 9, said.
“It’s fun for them,” Matthew Kumpe said. “They only get
to hear secondhand what we do. They know, but it’s not the
same as being out here.”

Expert Infantryman Badge
56 earn honorStory and photo by
Spc. Nelson Robles
4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team
Public Affairs Office, 4th Infantry Division
Nearly 500 Soldiers demonstrated
basic and advanced soldiering techniques
during the Expert Infantrymen Badge
qualification, April 15-19.
Initially, 498 candidates from the
4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 4th
Infantry Division, began the EIB
qualification, which is awarded based
on an individual’s physical fitness and
demonstrated ability to perform many
skills, such as weapons and equipment
use, maintenance and basic first aid.
“We’ve been training up since January,
just going through the basic tasks,” said
Pfc. Kristopher Bramlett, Company A, 1st
Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment. “There
is an EIB handbook that you go over at night
so you can dream of (receiving) the EIB.”
Prior to actual testing, Soldiers must
complete the Army Physical Fitness Test
and qualify with their issued weapon.
After meeting the APFT and weapon
qualification standards for the EIB, the
remaining tasks are broken into three
training lanes that test a Soldier’s abilities
in different scenarios, said Master Sgt.
Mark Eckstrom, Headquarters and
Headquarters Company, 2nd Bn., 12th
Inf. Reg. The traffic control point, urban
operations and patrol lane each allow for
no more than two errors before failure,
and once a lane has been failed, the Soldier
is eliminated from the qualification.
Those who made it to the final day of
qualification faced the final task of complet-
ing a 12-mile ruck march through the tank
trails of Fort Carson in less than three hours.
“It takes a lot of motivation,
time and dedication,” said Pfc. Isaiah
Ferrer, Company A, 1st Bn., 12th Inf.
Reg., the first junior enlisted Soldier
to complete the ruck march. “I
just wanted to prove something
to myself, that I know I can do
something like this in the future.”
Only 56 Soldiers conquered the
challenge, as they stood in formation
with their backs straight and chests
out while they received their badges
from their battalion commanders
and noncommissioned officers.

Story and photos by Andrea Sutherland
Mountaineer staff
Sgt. John Henry Rocklein hunched over the table,
steadying his hands.
“Breathe, man. Breathe,” said one of his teammates,
anxiously watching, but unable to help.
Rocklein, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th
Infantry Division, set the needle and thread down, balling his
hands into fists to try and maintain control. He’d just performed
30 pushups and was now attempting to push a piece of thread
through the eye of a needle.
Focused, Rocklein gingerly threaded the needle, holding it
up for the observer to see.
“You’re good,” said the observer and performance
expert for the Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness
Training Center.
Rocklein dropped the needle and ran with his teammates to
the next obstacle.
Across the field, more teams of Soldiers performed
physical and mental tasks as part of the culminating obstacle
course for the weeklong Comprehensive Soldier and Family
Fitness Leader Development Course, April 15-19.
“We know there are changes when we increase energy,” said
Steve DeWiggins, lead performance expert. “Decision making is
more difficult, cognitive capacity is reduced and focus narrows.”
Knowing this, DeWiggins said the instructors for the
training center developed tactics to help Soldiers maintain
control in stressful situations.
For 40 hours, Soldiers from various units learned energy
management, effective goal setting, confidence building and
attention control.
“We’re concerned with the holistic Soldier,” said Nick
Bartley, performance expert. “We’re helping them be mentally
and emotionally strong.”
An Armywide endeavor, the Comprehensive Soldier and
Family Fitness program’s goal is to help Soldiers train, practice
and refine their psychological strength.
At Fort Carson, contractors with degrees in sports
psychology implemented the first Leader Development
Soldiers attempt to complete wooden puzzles during an obstacle course April 19 as part of the
culminating event of the Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness leader development course.
Soldiers were challenged with physical and mental obstacles to complete.
Course for Soldiers, noncommissioned officers and officers
from numerous units.
“We’re hoping they spread what they learn here onto other
Soldiers in their units,” Bartley said.
The week began with an initial obstacle course to test
Soldiers’ abilities, then moved to the classroom for physical
and cognitive lessons in applied performance. At the end of
the week, Soldiers completed a different obstacle course to
test the skills they learned.
Soldiers completed 12 tasks that required physical and mental
components, including transferring heavy items from one end of
the field to the other while staying within a narrow boundary,
listening to audio with three layers of information and answering
questions based on what was heard and completing two puzzles
with large wooden blocks within a six-minute time limit.
Staff Sgt. Dustin Kerrins, 2nd Battalion, 12th Infantry
Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 4th Inf. Div.,
said he was determined to complete the wooden puzzle, which
thwarted him earlier in the week.
“I don’t like it when puzzles beat me,” he said, laughing.
Kerrins’ team didn’t complete the task during the first
obstacle course and he said he copied down the patterns,
working them over in his head throughout the week.
Although he wasn’t able to physically move and complete
the puzzles during the second obstacle course, he successfully
directed his teammate.
“As a team, we worked better the second time,”
said Staff Sgt. James Reigle, Company B, Warrior
Transition Battalion. “We refocused and discussed
the tasks. … We learned from a collective brain.
We were faster and more efficient.”
Other Soldiers agreed, saying throughout the
week they learned their teammates’ strengths and
weaknesses and how best to motivate them. They
said learning how to bounce back from frustrating
circumstances by remaining flexible and positive
allowed them to meet goals.
“The whole course tested our mental endurance,”
Kerrins said. “We knocked 11 minutes off our time
and finished first. It took a lot of teamwork.”
Sgt. John Henry Rocklein, 2nd Armored
Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division,
threads a needle during the final obstacle
course for the Comprehensive Soldier and
Family Fitness leader development course,
April 19. Rocklein, along with Soldiers,
noncommissioned officers and officers,
completed the weeklong course.

‘Warhorse’ trains up for Spartan RaceStory and photos by
Staff Sgt. Andrew Porch
2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team Public
Affairs Office, 4th Infantry Division
The Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and
Recreation is hosting the Spartan Military Sprint May
4-5 at Iron Horse Park. The event is a four-mile run
consisting of obstacles such as object carries, spear
throwing and barbed-wire crawl, is coming to Fort
Carson May 4-5, and Soldiers of the “Warhorse”
Brigade are teaming up to take on the challenge.
About 10 Soldiers from Headquarters and
Headquarters Troop, 2nd Special Troops Battalion, 2nd
Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division,
are training to make sure they are up to the task.
“I have been waiting for a race to come around
to Colorado Springs for some time,” said Staff Sgt.
Charles Giordano intelli-
gence analyst, HHT. “I did it
in Arizona before I came to
Fort Carson, and I thought it
was a good team-building
exercise for the section.
For the past few weeks
the Soldiers have been
conducting physical training
in preparation for the event.
Their regimen includes
weight training, both upper
and lower body; cardio train-
ing, consisting of multiple
three-to-five mile runs a
week; and core training,
aimed at training multiple
muscle groups at once.
The Spartan Military Sprint will test the
Soldiers’ full array of athletic ability.
“A lot of the obstacles are about using your
strength, but also using your body as a whole unit to
move over and around different obstacles,” said
Sgt. Joseph Baffaro, counterintelligence agent, HHT.
Leaders from the brigade intelligence shop
wanted a way to increase teamwork, but also to let
the Soldiers see their leaders in a different light.
“It really concentrates on building a team,” said
Giordano. “Soldiers tend to just see you in the work
environment, and to do something outside of the
Army — and do something as a group — makes them
see who you are as a person.”
The training will not only help the Soldiers
prepare for the race, but will increase their overall
knowledge on physical training.
“I hope they get an idea of different things they
can do for physical training on their own,” said
Baffaro. “Keeping in mind that physical strength
training and endurance is a constant thing for both
your personal development and keeping your state
of physical fitness high in the military.”

sold out, but people can register until May 1 for the
May 5 race.

Through sheer determination,
Sgt. 1st Class Keoki Smythe has set
the standard for what it takes to
represent the Army cycling team at
the Warrior Games.
“He is that omega, he is that
distance machine,” said Master Sgt.
Jarrett Jongema, noncommissioned
officer in charge, Warrior Games. “He
is one of those guys, when I bring him to
the (training camps), I use him for the
assessment. You have to be able to ride
as well as him. People selected to the
team have to be able to ride at his level.”
For Smythe, it is not one major
accident, but a multitude of injuries
that have led him to be eligible to
participate in the Warrior Games.
“For me it is a little bit different
(than for other competitors), because I
don’t have that traumatic injury from
downrange; my injuries are an accumu-
lation of deploying, jumping out of
airplanes, ruck running, and just being
in the Army,” said Smythe, Company B,
Warrior Transition Battalion.
Smythe said he was introduced to
cycling through the WTB, during the
Ride 2 Recovery, an event that helps
wounded warriors get into cycling.
“It was more motivation for me,
because I am with peers that have
injuries, and I am able to relate and talk
with them,” Smythe said. “The ones
that really stand out are the double
amputees that hand cycle, and they are
just hammering it home. I am just
trying to finish the ride, and these guys
are like, ‘hurry up, let’s go.’ Now that
I am going through the process of a
medical evaluation board and I want
to stay in (the Army); (cycling) is a
way to show my command and peers
that I am still viable as a Soldier.”
The Warrior Games are designed to
introduce injured servicemembers and
veterans to Paralympic sports competi-
tion, and encourage them to stay physi-
cally active when they return to their
local communities following the event.

The games are comprised of five
U.S. teams, representing the Army,
Marine Corps, Navy/Coast Guard, Air
Force and Special Operations, as well
as one international team from the
United Kingdom. Teams will compete
in seven sports including archery,
cycling, shooting, sitting-volleyball,
swimming, track and field and
wheelchair basketball.
Jongema said Smythe’s positive
and humble attitude has brought
inspiration to others.
“He has such a great jovial
attitude and you never see him get
mad, but I like how the minute he gets
on that bike, he changes,” Jongema
said. “It is not that the smiles go away,
but he becomes so focused on what
he is doing. That says a lot for me in
terms of selecting someone (for theArmy
team). The other athletes gravitate
towards his capability and listen to
him; even my coaches.”
Smythe’s positive outlook on life
and his embodiment of the professional
Soldier leaves an example for others
to look up to.
“When I look at him, I see someone
who upholds the Army Values and is a
good friend,” said Sgt. 1st Class Noel
Vargas, platoon sergeant, Company B,
Warrior Transition Battalion. “He is a
go-getter. He is one of the guys that you
want to follow. If for some reason
you ever doubt yourself, he is the first
one to pick you back up and give you
motivation to continue on. I think he
is a model Soldier, especially for
Soldiers in the WTB, the ones that,
either physically or mentally, are at
a disadvantage.”
Vargas said Smythe exemplifies
the Army’s “never quit” attitude.
“He is in the Warrior Games, and I
applaud him for that, because he found
something instead of giving up,” he said.
Smythe said his goals are to
do the best he can for Team Army,
hopefully making the podium for
cycling and sitting-volleyball, enjoying
time with teammates and making
friends with other teams he will meet
at the games.
“The Marines, Air Force,
Navy/Coast Guard, and the Brits will
be at the games; it will be interesting to
see what life is like for them, the
obstacles that they deal with, and being
able to relate to what we all go
through,” Smythe said.

14. 15April 26, 2013 — MOUNTAINEER
Editor’s note: The following information is
provided by the Installation Security Division to
let community members know how to identify and
report suspicious activity.
Immediately report suspicious activities to
local law enforcement, even if you think it may be
nothing. On post, call 526-8286.
If you see suspicious behavior, do not confront
the individuals involved.
Take note of the details:
Size; jot down the number of people,
gender, ages and physical descriptions
Activity; describe exactly what they are doing
Location; provide exact location
Uniform; describe what they are wearing,
including shoes
Time; provide date, time and duration
of activity
Equipment; describe vehicle, make, color,
license plate, camera, guns, etc.
Suspicious activity is often recalled after an event.
We must train ourselves to be on the lookout for things
that are out of the ordinary and arouse suspicions.
Keep in mind, those who commit terrorist acts:
— Usually live among us without appearing
suspicious while planning and preparing for their
attack. They may be a neighbor, student or friend.
— Often they will need training or equipment that
will arouse suspicion.
— Need to conduct surveillance on possible targets and
gather information on the planned attack location.
All of these things make terrorists vulnerable to
detection by those watching for certain characteristics.
Learn to recognize the difference between normal
and abnormal behavior. It can be a fine line.
Stay alert in daily travels and routines and
get to know:
— Who your neighbors are
— What cars are normally in the neighborhood
— Who regularly makes deliveries at work and in
the neighborhood
Staying alert is not about becoming paranoid.
Staying alert is being aware of one’s surroundings.
Be alert to indications of possible trouble, which
may include:
— A local activity that could indicate problems in
your community.
— Previous activity or crimes
— Controversial issues being debated
— Suspicious thefts
Note: One of the clues that led to the recent
break up of a terrorist plot was that several of
the cell members were spotted celebrating in an
apartment complex on the anniversary of 9/11.
It is impossible to identify a terrorist by
appearance, nationality or language.
A terrorist threat can only be identified by
observing or hearing about suspicious activity
that may lead to a criminal act.
Identifying suspicious activity is not a difficult
science. Rely on judgment. Suspicion of a threat
can be confirmed with only one incident or it
could take a series of incidents.
Suspicions will need to be based on:
— Experience
— Judgment
— Common sense
Here is an example of unusual interest in high risk
or symbolic targets: While at a high profile location,
a person nearby is taking several photos. While that,
in itself, is not unusual, you notice that the person is
only taking photos of the location’s surveillance
cameras, entrance crash barriers and access control
procedures. This is not normal for a tourist.
Actions that cause a heightened sense of
suspicion include:
— Suspicious or unusual interest
— Surveillance suspicious in nature
— Inappropriate photographs or videos
— Note taking
— Drawing of diagrams
— Annotating maps
— Use of binoculars or night vision devices
Unusual or suspicious activity does not necessarily
mean that terrorist activity is happening, but
be aware of the following suspicious behaviors:
— Individuals acting secretively and suspiciously
— Anyone avoiding eye contact
— People departing quickly when seen
or approached
— Individuals in places they don’t belong
— People overdressed for the type of weather
— A strong odor coming from a building or vehicle
— An overloaded vehicle
— Fluid leaking from a vehicle, other than the
engine or gas tank
Many of the 9/11 terrorists were in the country
illegally and using fraudulent identification.
Altering or using false government identification
in any way and for any purpose is against the law.
Fraudulent IDs include:
— Driver’s license
— Social Security cards
— Passports
— Birth certificates
— Green cards
If you believe someone is using or has altered
government identification, notify law enforcement
authorities. Do not request to see another person’s
ID when not appropriate; allow law enforcement
agencies to do the investigating.
Terrorists, when not acting alone, need
to meet with their conspirators and
often times work within a cell.
Pay attention to visitors and
guests that:
— Arrive and leave at unusual hours
— Try not to be noticed
— Act in a suspicious manner
— Park an unusual distance
from the meeting
— Have an unusual number of unrelated
people living together
— Not all people who maintain
privacy are terrorists, but people
intent on doing illegal acts want to
be left alone.
Signs that may raise suspicions:
— People only allowed into their
home with plenty of prior notice
— Locks changed often
— Certain rooms kept off limits
— Tables and pieces of furniture
are covered
— Maid service not allowed in a hotel room
— Hotel room service always accepted
outside the door
— Deliveries only accepted at the hotel
front desk or outside a closed door
Deliveries are a common method
for terrorists to carry out their attacks.
Be aware of:
— Vehicles with hazardous
material parked or driving in an
inappropriate area
— Unusual deliveries of chemicals
or fertilizer
— Unattended bags or boxes in a
public access place
— Fire extinguishers that may have been moved
or tampered with
— Unusual or unexpected mail
Terrorists need supplies to carry out their attacks
and accomplish their goals.
Pay attention to unusual purchases, rentals or
thefts, to include:
— Police, security, public utility, mail carrier or
airline uniforms and equipment
— Explosives
— Weapons
— Ammunition
— Propane bottles
— Toxic chemicals
— Vehicles able to contain or haul hazardous materials
Additional suspicious activity may include:
— Someone bragging or talking about plans to
harm citizens in violent attacks or who claims
membership in a terrorist organization that
espouses killing innocent people.
— Suspicious packages, luggage or mail that have
been abandoned in a crowded place such as an
office building, airport, school or shopping center.
— Suspicious letter or package that arrives in your
mailbox. Stay away from the letter or package
and don’t shake, bump or sniff it. If handled,
wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
— Someone suspiciously exiting a secured, nonpublic
area near a train or bus depot, airport, tunnel,
bridge, government building or tourist attraction.
— Any type of activity or circumstance that seems
frightening or unusual within the normal routines
of the neighborhood, community or workplace.
— Someone unfamiliar loitering in a parking
lot, government building or around a school
or playground.
— Anyone asking a lot of questions — especially
concerning routes, loads or drop-off times.

SHARP officials to Soldiers:
We’re here, we’ll listenBy Andrea Sutherland
Mountaineer staff
Editor’s note: The following recounts true
stories of sexual harassment and assault experienced
by three Soldiers — a private first class, a sergeant
and a sergeant first class. Their names have been
removed at their request to protect their privacy.
At another Army post, in what feels like
another life, three male Soldiers raped a female
private first class.
She knew her attackers. They all served
in the same company. Two were her noncom-
missioned officers.
“They were my friends,” she said. “I said
‘no,’ and I fought as hard as I could.”
After the attack, she didn’t go to the police.
She didn’t seek medical help. And she didn’t tell
her commanders.
“I was a private,” she
said. “There was no way
(my commanders) would
believe a private over a
specialist and two NCOs.”
She said her pride took
over and she “soldiered up,”
keeping the attack to herself.
She became angry. She
didn’t sleep and she lost
weight. She attempted suicide.
When she admitted to
counselors that she’d been raped,
she said the Army provided
a litany of services, none of
which she felt would help.
“The Army threw all these
people at me, all these people
pushing me to talk,” she said.
But she wasn’t ready to
talk. She wasn’t ready to relive
what was arguably the worst
day of her life.
Then she met the represen-
tative for the post’s Sexual
Harassment/Assault Response
and Prevention program.
“The SHARP (representative) was the first
person that didn’t ask me anything,” she said. “At
first I thought she was just another lady trying to
get into my head. But she didn’t push. She
waited. She waited for me to lose it.”
The statistics
According to an Army study conducted between
fiscal 2006-2011, more than 8,000 Soldiers
committed sex offenses including 2,683 rape offenses.
At Fort Carson, between calendar years 2010-
2012, 158 founded sex related offenses occurred.
Of those offenses, 111 were sexual assaults.
To help prevent and educate the Soldier population
about harassment and assault, as well as provide an
outlet for victims, the Army created SHARP in 2008.
An offshoot of the Army’s Sexual Assault
Prevention and Response and Prevention of
Sexual Harassment programs,
SHARP trained Soldiers
as victim advocates, with
representatives at the brigade,
battalion and company levels,
providing Soldiers a confidant
within their unit.
There are currently 579
trained SHARP representatives
at Fort Carson with 11 civilians
at Army Community Service,
said Sgt. 1st Class Anthony
Maldonado, 4th Infantry
Division SHARP representative.
In April, to promote Sexual
Assault Awareness Month,
SHARP endorsed information
booths and a postwide safety
stand down day. It premiered the
documentary “The Invisible
War,” bringing attention to
the military’s treatment of
servicemembers who have
experienced an assault.
Each quarter, SHARP
representatives provide National
Organization Victim Assistance
certifications and training
for SHARP mobile training teams.
And while the goal is to reduce the number
of assaults, it is equally important to bring attention
to and reduce sexual harassment, Maldonado said.,
4th Infantry Division SHARP representative.
“We’re emphasizing sexual harassment and
not being a passive bystander,” he said. “Assault is
the end state. It begins with harassment.”
Recognizing harassment
For most of her service, the sergeant first
class didn’t realize she was being harassed.
When she was pregnant with her first child,
an officer offered to help her “induce labor.”
A first sergeant sent her inappropriate texts
telling her how beautiful she was, even though he
was married with a wife and children.
“I didn’t realize that most of my career I’ve
been harassed,” said the female sergeant first class
and one of the SHARP representatives at Fort
Carson. “I didn’t know or recognize what was
happening to me and that I could report it.”
Not recognizing sexual harassment is
common for both male and female Soldiers,
Maldonado said.
“It’s systematic across the Army,” he said.
When Soldiers are new to a unit, they want to
fit in, Maldonado said. In order to fit in, Soldiers
compromise their tolerance or values. They let
the crude jokes and off-color humor slide in order
to be accepted.
“It’s human nature to want to fit in,” he said.
“We bring down our barriers and values to fit
in. We may think some things are wrong, but we
don’t say anything.”
Maldonado said that while SHARP officials
hope to reach a short-term goal directing Soldiers
to services, the attitude and behavior regarding
sexual harassment and assault must change at the
unit level, the individual level.
“Leaders must enforce dignity, respect and
standards,” he said. “Is (harassment) something
we can change in training? No. It’s up to the
individual (to change).”
“Leaders must
enforce dignity,
respect and
standards. Is
(harassment)
something we can
change in training?
No. It’s up to
the individual
(to change).”

Soldiers show pride in post cleanupStory and photo by
Staff Sgt. Ruth Pagán
2nd Armored Brigade Combat
Team Public Affairs Office,
4th Infantry Division
As the bitter cold wind sliced
through his fleece jacket, 1st Lt.
Chatlin Magee clapped his hands
together for warmth, tucked his chin
into his chest away from the wind,
and continued to scan his section for
bits of garbage he may have missed.
The lieutenant led fellow 2nd
Armored Brigade Combat Team,
4th Infantry Division, Soldiers
alongside other Arapahoe Village
community members during post
cleanup April 17, as part of a
semiannual initiative to beautify
and maintain Fort Carson.
“We are all out here to help the
morale of the community,” said Magee,
assistant operations officer, 2nd Special
Troops Battalion, 2nd ABCT, 4th Inf.
Div. “The weather isn’t the best, but
that doesn’t matter; we still want to be
here to get this area looking good.”
Soldiers who live in the area, as
well as volunteers, came together to
pick up garbage, perform lawn
maintenance and make small repairs
to window screens and fences.
“It means a lot for the Soldiers
to come out and help, because no
one can do everything by themselves,”
said Aubrey Guillotte, Arapahoe
Village mayor.
The Soldiers began the day by
forming a line and walking through
the neighborhood, picking up every
piece of garbage they came across.
“It’s going to feel good, coming
home and seeing everything look
clean and nice,” said Arapahoe
Village resident Pvt. Darin Stevens,
Headquarters and Headquarters
Company, 204th Brigade
Support Battalion.
Around noon, the snow became
heavy, and Soldiers were released to
go back to their living quarters.
“With the snow and the cold
temperatures, being outside just
got too dangerous; we decided to
release Soldiers to work in their
own yards. That way, they can judge
if they are getting too cold, and can
go inside and warm up,” Magee said.
Although the day was cut short,
Soldiers enjoyed the opportunity to
help out the community.
“It feels good knowing Soldiers
are taking pride in their area,” said
volunteer Sgt. Casey Thomas,
Company B, 204th BSB.
Soldiers with 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team,
4th Infantry Division, look for garbage to collect
during the post cleanup in Arapahoe Village, April 17.

Holocaust descendant speaks to SoldiersStory and photo by
Sgt. Eric Glassey
4th Infantry Division Public
Affairs Office
Never again.
This was Helena Atlas-Acuna’s
message as she shared her parents’
ordeal with Soldiers during the
Holocaust National Days
of Remembrance at the
Elkhorn Conference
Center, April 16.
“I hope they gleen
that the holocaust actu-
ally happened, because
there are a lot of deniers
out there,” said Helena
Atlas-Acuna, daughter
of Holocaust survivors
David and Sally Atlas.
“So we want to keep the
stories … alive and in
front of people. The
whole point of this is …
to prevent something
like this from ever
happening again.”
The Pueblo native
spoke about how the
indifference of people
allowed Adolf Hitler
to wipe out millions
of people.
“First of all, what
makes it unique is that
it was state-sponsored,
systematic persecution and annihilation
of European Jews by Nazi Germany
from the years 1933-1945, with Jews
being the primary target,” Atlas-Acuna
said. “But they also had other
targets the Nazis perceived inferior
to the Arian race.
“What makes this genocide
unique in all of history is that it was
premeditated and planned,” she said.
“It was not just a bunch of thugs
running around killing people willy-
nilly. It started with forced labor and
concentration camps, then on to ghettos
and what they considered the ‘Final
Solution,’ the extermination camps.”
Her husband, Michael Atlas-
Acuna, a Pueblo native who works
with various Jewish organizations
to help educate and inform people
about the Pueblo Jewish history and
anti-Semitism, also took to the podium.
“First of all, I’m honored to be here
and sharing with the military,” Michael
Atlas-Acuna said. “We wouldn’t be here
if it wasn’t for the military to fight for
our freedoms and do these things. For
me, it was a great honor
for our small community
to be asked to come and
do this at Fort Carson.
“What is anti-
Semitism?” he asked
the attendees. “Anti-
Semitism is prejudice,
hatred or discrimination
against Jews or reasons
connected to the Jewish
heritage. The term
was coined in the late
1930s in Germany.”
Staff Sgt. Austin
Johnson, undergoing
training to be an equal
opportunity representa-
tive for Company A, 1st
Battalion, 67th Armor
Regiment, 2nd Armored
Brigade Combat Team,
4th Infantry Division,
reflected on the value
days like this have in
the military.

ordeals during the Holocaust, at an observance

19. SHARP officials and Soldiers
recognize this may be easier said
than done.
“The people who (harass) you
are often the ones closest to you,”
said a female sergeant.
On her first tour in Iraq, the
sergeant said she spoke up about being
harassed by her male counterparts.
“I was working and I heard
(the male Soldiers) playing a game,”
she said. “They told me they were
playing ‘How many beers would it
take for me to (expletive) them.’
The specialist said zero.”
She said the specialist, whom
she considered a friend and a
brother, grabbed her leg.
“I stopped it,” she said.
“But then he told our commanders
that I was being disrespectful. That
impacted me.”
“Bystanders are just as much of
the problem as the person committing
the act,” said the sergeant first class
SHARP representative. “If you don’t
correct the behavior, you’re setting
a new standard. … If you turn a
blind eye or a deaf ear, you’re setting
a low standard.
“There’s a tactful way of
saying what’s right,” she said. “They
might be mad at you at first, but
in the long run, they will have
more respect for you.”
A resolution
For the private first class, things
are improving.
“When I got here, I wanted to
forget about it,” she said.
Her SHARP representative, the
sergeant first class, reminded her
that she still had support.
When the private first class
attended the Article 32 hearing
involving her attackers, her SHARP
representative escorted her.
“I thought I could do this by
myself,” said the private first class.
“But I couldn’t.
“If it wasn’t for SHARP, I wouldn’t
be here. I don’t like to swallow my
pride and ask for help. But I know
they’re going to answer their phone.
I know I’m not bothering them if I
call later at night to talk things out.”
SHARP officials said this is
their mission, their purpose.
“We can’t tell you when you’re
going to be ready to talk,” Maldonado
said. “We don’t have a policy stating,
‘If this happened to you Monday,
you have to disclose it by the close
of business Tuesday. Here’s a list
of people you need to see.’
“It’s not on our time; it’s on the
individual’s time.”
Maldonado said Fort Carson
offers numerous support groups, but
the individual must decide when the
time is right to use those networks.
In the meantime, SHARP
representatives will be there.
“(Sexual harassment and
assault) is not going to change
overnight,” Maldonado said. “We
have to start here as a group, in
our units and pass that along to the
younger generations.”
For many Soldiers, talking about
the experience is the first step.
“If we start speaking and start
talking, even more will come
forward,” said the private first class.
“Eventually (sexual harassment and
assault) will go down. We have
good support now; we’re not just
going to fall through the cracks.”
As the private first class continues
with her Army career, she hopes she
can one day use her experience to
help others, perhaps become a
SHARP representative herself.
“I want to be able to do that for
someone else,” she said. “I’m not
there yet, but I’m getting there.”

Avalanche honors service
By Cpl. William Smith
4th Infantry Division
Public Affairs Office
DENVER — The stadium erupted
with cheers as the Colorado Avalanche
took the ice for its pregame warm-up
Sunday, donning special camouflage
jerseys as a show of support for
the men and women who serve
the nation in uniform.
Servicemembers and their
Families from throughout the
Front Range were honored during the
course of the Colorado Avalanche’s
second annual Military Appreciation
Night at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
After warm-ups concluded, the
crowd grew quiet as the red carpet
was rolled onto the ice. Cheers
erupted as each branch of the
military was announced, as five
members representing each
service — to include five Fort
Carson Soldiers representing the
Army — took their positions at
center ice. U.S. Army Garrison
Fort Carson Commander Col.
David Grosso was then intro-
duced as he walked to the
center ice faceoff circle to
officiate the ceremonial puck
drop between the Colorado Avalanche and
St. Louis Blues team captains.
The pregame festivities concluded with
a joint service color guard presenting the
colors as the on-ice participants, decked
out in their respective service uniforms,
sharply saluted at the beginning of the
national anthem and two Air Force
paratroopers rappelled from the rafters,
unfurling a giant American flag.
Throughout the game, the Jumbotron
featured many “shout-out” videos from
deployed servicemembers to their Families
in attendance — eight of them from Fort
Carson Soldiers assigned to 1st Armored
Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry
Division, currently serving at Camp
Buehring in Kuwait.
“I felt that it was really awesome and
heartwarming that they played those videos
for us during the game,” said Summer
Campbell, spouse of Spc. Chris Campbell,
1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment,
1st ABCT, 4th Inf. Div. “It makes me
proud to know that my husband, and my
kids’ father, is serving. It is also really
emotional because of the pain of missing
somebody so much.
“It is unbelievable to go through what
we, (military) wives, go through on a
daily basis,” said Summer Campbell.
“A lot of people take for granted the
sacrifices that spouses and Soldiers make.
(The Soldiers) miss the children growing
up, anniversaries and birthdays; but in
the long run it is worth it because, as
military Families, we’re built strong and
can go through almost anything.”
Spc. William Ocasio, Company A, 4th
Brigade Support Battalion, 1st ABCT, 4th
Inf. Div., said he was honored to represent
the Army during the pregame show.
“I feel honored and appreciated to
be chosen to represent the Army …
and to be in this environment surrounded
by everyone that is grateful for what
we do,” Ocasio said.
“When you’re out there in the field,
and you’re eating meals-ready-to-eat,
and covered in dirt, you forget about
this side of being a Soldier,” he said.
“It is nice to put on the uniform and
get all dressed up; get reminded that
you are more than just a warrior,
that you are that member of
society that the public looks up
to. It is a really good reminder,
and it feels good to be here.”
The Avalanche defeated
the Blues 5-3. The camouflage
warm-up jerseys are being
auctioned off April 28, with
proceeds benefiting children
and Families in need.

Conference focuses on spouse wellnessBy Catherine Ross
Special to the Mountaineer
A highly-interactive opportunity to explore the
many facets of wellness will come to Fort Carson
May 22, when Army Community Service hosts
the Spouse Wellness Conference.
The daylong event will feature keynote speaker
and author Dr. Karen Reivich, a comprehensive
menu of wellness classes to choose from, a catered
lunch and health screenings fair. Based out of Iron
Horse Sports and Fitness Center, portions of the
conference will also take place at the Forrest
Resiliency Center and the Special Events Center.
“This is the most comprehensive women’s well-
ness conference,” said Jennifer Antonia, wife of 4th
Infantry Division Chief of Staff Col. Bruce Antonia.
“This one is just so interactive,” said Antonia,
comparing the conference to similar events at other
installations. “This is going to be fun.”
Following the keynote address and a group
yoga stretch, participants will then attend a number
of breakout classes of their choosing.
The breakout sessions provide the opportunity
to sample outdoor recreation classes such as rock
climbing and fitness classes including Zumba,
weightlifting and cycling.
“They’re not only great for your health, they’re
a good way to meet people in the community,” said
Teia Mack, Iron Horse Sports and Fitness Center
facility manager. “It’s a lot more fun to do classes
than workout on your own.”
Classes provided by Evans Army Community
Hospital Department of Behavioral Health will
focus on mental and behavioral well-being, and
provide ways to improve personal self-care,
parenting skills and marital strategies.
Spouses will also have a chance to learn a
performance enhancing mental skill called
“energy management.”
“This helps to develop self-awareness
throughout the day,” said Comprehensive Soldier
and Family Fitness site manager Rory Travis.
Spouses can also learn about additional training
that CSF2 provides including resiliency-focused
classes and a leader course, which Travis encourages
spouses to attend because “a mom is a leader, a
leader of a family.”
Throughout the day, attendees have the option
to participate in an on-site health screening fair,
hosted by Evans Army Community Hospital.
Preventative screenings will include height,
weight, blood pressure, body mass index and
diabetic labs, if needed. Nutritional counseling will
also be available and a screen of immunization
records, to include children’s, if requested, can be
done to determine if anything is due.
The screenings will conclude with a one-on-one
meeting with a provider, who will review each
spouse’s results, discuss high risk factors and submit
any needed referrals.
“This is much different from any other health
fair when it comes to the individual evaluation
of your health care and providing individualized
health care screenings,” said Lt. Col. Diane Heinz,
nurse practitioner and chief of Patient-Centered
Medical Home at EACH.
Registration required
Spouses interested in attending the conference must
register in advance. Registration forms and detailed
class descriptions are available at http://www.wfcp.
carson.army.mil/SpouseWellnessConference.html.

Sustainability
“Leaders and Soldiers can see what has happened
before through education, observances and things of this
nature.” Johnson said. “Catch it before it happens. In the
military, we all come from different walks of life and
everybody doesn’t know everything about each other. It’s
important to know as much as possible, so that we don’t
offend anybody, and help each other the best we can.”
Helena Atlas-Acuna paid tribute to past Soldiers
in their role of liberating her people from the
concentration and death camps.
“You all have inherited the legacy of the troops that
liberated our people from the Nazi menace,” she said.
“Thank you for your service.”

Editor’s note: The following article was
written by the Directorate of Emergency Services
division chiefs to inform the Fort Carson community
of current policies and procedures:
Police
The Directorate of Emergency Services is
working hand in hand with the 759th Military Police
Battalion on the Community Law Enforcement
Initiative. Under the CLEI, police officers — both
military and civilian — have begun to institute a
more proactive approach in engaging the public by
asking three to four questions based on the Priority
Information Requirement sheet each patrol receives
during its shift. Patrols target areas such as the
Exchange, Expresses and housing areas where they
can engage community members and ask targeted
questions to gain their impressions of crime on Fort
Carson and what DES can do as law enforcement
officials to improve services and better serve the
community. The intent of the PIR is to actively
engage residents and refrain from asking “Yes”
or “No” questions. A question can be as simple
as “What housing villages require more MP
foot patrols?” followed by “What time and day
of the week would best address this need?” The
CLEI has been successful so far and gives a better
picture on where DES needs to focus its attention.
This type of approach has enabled DES to
better address issues that crime statistics alone
could not provide in real time.
Fire
Regardless of recent weather, spring is here.
Traditionally, people mend their winter cabin fever
with spring cleaning. While going through the
spring cleaning frenzy, have these tips in mind
to help keep the home and Family safe:
Clear accumulated leaves and pine needles
from around the house, sheds, garages and gutters.
Clean out utility closets, especially around the
water heater and furnace. Keep combustibles clear
and wipe out the dust. Pay particular attention to
the area around vents. Check clothes dryers and
clean vents and hoses of built-up lint.
Inspect barbecue grills to ensure they are in
good working order and check propane tank
connections.
Ensure windows open and close easily in case
they are needed as an escape route.
In the garage, clean up any oily rags,
accumulated combustible liquids, papers/magazines
or recyclables. Store paint, gas cans and oil in a
responsible manner.
Review fire escape plan and meeting place.
Check smoke and carbon monoxide detector
batteries; replace if needed.
Contact the Fort Carson Fire Department
Fire Prevention Branch at 526-2679 for more
information.
Physical security
Fort Carson has fielded the RAPIDGate RCx
access control system at all installation gates.
This system embraces technology by allowing
access control personnel to electronically verify
state- and federally-issued photo identification
against open source law enforcement databases
and the installation bar roster. Incorporating
these technologies will enhance the installation’s
security posture by helping to identify
fraudulent/forged ID cards, personnel who
have been barred from installation entry and
wanted felons. Contact the DES Security
and Access Control Division at 526-5543 for
more information.

Commentary by Chap. (Maj.) Doug Ball
2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team,
4th Infantry Division
It seems that there is a plethora of things
that are bad for your heart. Most likely if there is
something believed to not be bad for your heart
today, a study will come out next year that
shows it is indeed bad for your heart.
Even if it used to be bad for your heart, but
now it is OK, a study will come out next year
that shows it is once again bad for your heart.
Eggs? Bad for your heart. Salt? Bad for your
heart. Stress? Sitting on an airplane? How about
sitting on an airplane, stressed, eating eggs with
salt on them? All bad for your heart.
Fortunately, I’m not here to give you medical
advice. You’ll need to talk to your doctor about your
physical heart. However, I do know that there are
things that are bad for your spiritual heart, and I
am qualified to dispense spiritual prescriptions.
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on
Earth, where moth and rust destroy and where
thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourself
treasures in heaven, where neither moth or rust
destroys and where thieves do not break in and
steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart
will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-20)
The point of this passage is pretty clear: too much
focus on the stuff of this world is bad for your heart.
Please don’t worry that this will devolve into a “send
your checks and money orders to …” type of thing —
God owns the cattle on a thousand hills, and I’m paid
by the government — we don’t need your money.
God is concerned
about where your heart
is for your own good.
If your heart is focused
on temporary treasure
that gets moldy and
falls apart, then your
heart will get moldy
and fall apart. If
your heart is
focused on
eternal treasure
that never
fades, your
heart will
never fade.
That’s the
goal of the
God-oriented
life — a heart
that is focused
not on the
things of this
world, but on
the world to come.
If our heart is there, it will remain healthy and
incorruptible, and will continue to grow strong in
love for God and love for neighbor.
We can choose to do this because we know that
God has an amazing heart of love for us, and will
provide all that we need, so that we don’t have to
focus on and worry about it. Later in Matthew 6, we
are reminded when it comes to material necessities,
such as food and clothing, “your heavenly Father
knows that you need them.” We are free to “seek
first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all
these things will be given to you as well.”
So don’t worry this week — it’s bad for
your heart. Don’t stress yourself chasing the
treasures of this world — it’s bad for your
heart. Instead, focus on spreading the same
love to others that God has shown to you —
that’s good for your heart.
“For where
your treasure
is, there your
heart will be
also.”
— Matthew 6:20

Mountaineer staff
Sometimes reaching to achieve
a major milestone can lead a person
to even greater accomplishments.
That is the case for Estella
Juarez, a contracting specialist
with the Mission Installation
Contracting Command’s Fort
Carson Contracting Office.
Juarez began an effort to
get into shape four years ago
while stationed in Germany because
she wanted to participate in the
Camino de Santiago, or the Way of
St. James, pilgrimage across Spain.
Juarez knew that her physical
condition would be the biggest
obstacle to complete the pilgrimage.
She has since dropped 65 pounds.
“I really wanted to do the walk
four years ago ... I saw a number of
things that talked about the race,
but it didn’t seem feasible to me to
take on an event like that in the
physical condition I was in,” she said.
“But the idea stuck in my head ... so
this year I’m going to go and do it.”
The four-year odyssey to prepare
for the pilgrimage hasn’t been
easy for Juarez. She said she had to
dedicate herself to losing as much
weight as possible and get fit enough
to walk across Spain.
When Juarez first told her
son about doing the event, he was
concerned because he witnessed the
strain hikes put on her body when
she was overweight. She assured
him that she would get in shape to
complete the journey.
“When I began to train to
get the weight off, I was actually so
embarrassed because I felt I had gone
so far off the wagon, and I didn’t
know where I wanted to start to get
back into shape,” Juarez said. “I
remember looking at myself in the
mirror and feeling like I was so far
gone; so far out of shape that there
was nothing I could do about it.
“I wanted to go to the gym but
I had to get in shape first. Then I
remembered I heard once that
someone said ‘you don’t have to be
great to start, but you have to start
in order to be great,’ and that is what
I use for motivation,” Juarez said.
She said staying faithful to her
desire to get in better shape played a
large role in her getting ready to take
on the biggest challenge she has faced
since losing 65 pounds and is confident
she is ready to complete her mission.

The Directorate of Family and
Morale, Welfare and Recreation
sponsors a football combine,
designed to help athletes improve
their athleticism, May 11 from
10 a.m. to noon at the Iron Horse
Sports and Fitness Center complex.
The testing will
be similar to what the players
experience in high school, said
Levi Hokkala, DFMWR intramural
sports office, who is running the
event. He said it will also allow
players to see where they stand,
what skills they are good at and
which ones they can improve.
“The whole idea behind the
combine is to give a baseline standard
as it pertains to your power, which
we will test with vertical and long
jumping,” Hokkala said. “We will also
test the players’ speed by having them
run a 40-yard dash (and) test and
see how well the players can move
laterally, doing the 5-10-5 drill. Each
of the tests are designed to test the
overall athleticism of the players and
suggests ways for them to improve
from where they are at this point.”
For more information on
the combine call 526-3972.

athletes for its youth sports summer
season through May 17.

Edwin Rivera
Intramural volleyball player
How long have you played volleyball?
I have played since high school, growing up in Puerto Rico. I
received a scholarship to play volleyball in college. Since I have been
in the Army, I have been on the All-Army volleyball teams, and I have
coached volleyball while in the Army. While I was stationed in Kentucky,
I also coached high school volleyball, and I am currently coaching
volleyball at Big House Sports in Colorado Springs. I have also played
beach volleyball.
Why did beach volleyball make such a difference in your life?
I actually got hooked on volleyball more from playing beach volleyball
than I did regular volleyball. I like the idea that it was me and another
guy and we either do it well or we didn’t do well during the games.
What would you consider your favorite moment in volleyball?
I coached my daughter’s team when she playeds volleyball, and my
biggest thrill was watching her win a championship. It was definitely
my favorite moment in volleyball, seeing that she has been able to take
what I have passed onto her and achieve such a great moment.
What haven’t you done in volleyball you wished had done?
When I was younger, I dreamed of being an Olympic volleyball player,
but now that I am a 43-year-old man; that goal is probably something
I won’t be able to reach.
People who don’t know me would be surprised to know that …
I play volleyball. I am a command sergeant major and I normally don’t
leave my office until 7:30 p.m., so a lot of my troops would be surprised
to know that I have the time to play volleyball. They normally only see
me when we are doing physical training.

Story and photos by
Nel Lampe
Mountaineer staff
One of America’s most beautiful
Victorian mansions is just 40 miles
away. It’s Rosemount, the John and
Margaret Thatcher mansion, in Pueblo.
The mansion has been featured in
The Home and Garden TV channel’s
“Christmas Castles” and Art and
Entertainment’s “American Castles.”
The elegant home took two years
to construct. Completed in 1893, the
mansion has 37 rooms, 24,000 square
feet of floor space and two large
porches or verandas. The mansion
occupies a complete city block and
is surrounded by shrubs, gigantic
trees and sweeping lawns.
A nearby 6,000 square-foot
carriage house provided a place
for carriages, harnesses, horses and
hay. It also had a toolroom, washroom
and an extra large harness room that
served as a smoking room for male
servants. The carriage house also had
an apartment for the attendant.
A greenhouse that provided
the family’s flowers and produce
was between the carriage house
and the mansion.
Wellknown architect Henry
Hudson Holly, who’d built Thomas
Edison’s house and laboratory in
New Jersey, designed Rosemount.
This wasn’t his first mansion in
Pueblo — he had already designed
and built a Victorian-style mansion
for John Thatcher’s brother and
business partner, Mahlon Thatcher.
Holly designed Rosemount and
its furnishings as a package. The
furniture came from Wanamakers
Department Store in Philadelphia.
The lighting was designed by Tiffany’s
of New York. Fireplace trim in some
rooms matched furniture; furniture
carvings duplicated ceiling carvings.
Margaret Thatcher’ favorite flower
— the rose — is featured in carvings
throughout the home.
Innovative and luxurious touches
were included in the mansion. Water
was distributed through a gravity
system from a large tank in the attic.
Lights were wired for both electricity
and gas as the Pueblo electric plant
closed down early.
Closets were designed one
above the other, so the closets could
be converted into an elevator shaft
at a later date.
Rosemount has a large dining room
that could seat many guests. There’s
a butler’s pantry and several large
cabinets filled with dinnerware sets. A
special room stored trunks and luggage.
There’s a sewing room, a large guest
room and a library. Servants quarters
were on the third floor.
The mansion is built in
Richardsonian Romanesque style,
with an exterior of pink volcanic
stone quarried at Castle Rock. The
slate roof came from Vermont.
The home’s exterior is trimmed
with medallions and carvings.
John Thatcher came from
Pennsylvania with a wagon filled
with merchandise in the 1860s,
arriving first in Denver. He later
moved to Pueblo, setting up a store
there. His brother later joined him.
The town of Pueblo had its start
as a trading post in the 1840s,
when the U.S. and Mexico border was
the Arkansas River.
As Pueblo had no bank, local
citizens asked the Thatchers to keep
their valuables in their store safe.
Eventually, the Thatchers started
Pueblo’s first bank in 1871.
Pueblo began to prosper when
Gen. William Palmer, founder of
Colorado Springs, extended the
Denver and Rio Grande Railroad
to Pueblo. When silver, gold and
valuable minerals were discovered
in western Colorado, Palmer
began to expand his railroad west
to reach the mines.
Needing a source of steel for
constructing the rails, Palmer started
a steel mill in Pueblo.
As Pueblo prospered, elegant
houses and public buildings were
built. Smelter mills, wool mills, the
steel mill and railroad development
brought workers and growth to Pueblo.
John Thatcher also prospered,
investing in mining, ranching and
Places to see in the
Pikes Peak area.
agriculture while expanding his banking
interests, and he moved from a modest
home to the large mansion.
Members of the Thatcher family
occupied the mansion for 75 years.
After his parents died, the youngest
son, Raymond Thatcher, lived there
until 1967, when the house was turned
over to the city for a museum. Most of
the original furnishings are still intact.
The luxurious mansion is open
for guided tours throughout the
year, except in January and major
holidays, Tuesday-Saturday, from
10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Summer weddings can be held on
the grounds or verandas of Rosemount
by arrangement, call 719-545-5290.
Rosemount has a small gift shop
that features Victorian-style postcards,
china pieces and gifts.
On May 11, Rosemount observes
Historic Preservation Day, when
visitors are admitted for half price.
Guided tours are available from
10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and take
about an hour. Regular admission
is $6 for adults, $4 for children.
Rosemount is at 419 W. 14th
Street in Pueblo.
Take Interstate 25 south of Fort
Carson to Exit 99B (13th Street)
and go west about five blocks to
Greenwood Street. Turn north, and
go one block. Parking is at metered
spaces along the street.

Thatcher family.
