2 Editorial Here s the story of a Bob, on his birthday Today is Bob s birthday. I don t know that any of you have met Bob. Folks in his family call him Bubba, sometimes. It s a family joke. Others nicknamed him Bobo because of his terrible handwriting. When he signs his name, that s what it reads like. But Bob is like any other 35-year-old guy. He loves baseball and can recite the entire starting line-up of the 1970 s Big Red Machine. He traded baseball cards for a living back in the 70s and while recognizing the value of a New York Yankee, would happily trade it away for an equally important player in the National League, preferably a Cincinnati Red. But the Thurman Munson card came off the table when he learned the Yankee catcher had died in a plane crash. Even at 7 years old, he realized that was tragic. Later that year, he led a group of other 7-year-old neighborhood kids who called themselves the Green Machine Gang, named for the three-wheeled, pedal-powered scooters they drove. As their leader, however, and he was widely recognized to be the leader, he demanded one thing his little brother, only 4, be included. No one questioned Bob s authority, and Marshallese Word of the Day iakiu - baseball or softball Commanding Officer...Col. Jerry Brown Public Affairs Officer...LuAnne Fantasia Editor...Jim Bennett Associate Editor... KW Hillis Graphics Designer...Dan Adler Staff Writer... Jan Waddell The Hourglass is named for the insignia of the U.S. Army 7th Infantry Division, which liberated the island from the forces of Imperial Japan on Feb 4, is an authorized publication for military personnel, federal employees, contractor workers and their families assigned to USAKA. Contents of the Hourglass are not necessarily official views of, or endorsed by, the U.S. Government, Department of Defense, Department of the Army or USAKA. It is published Tuesdays and Fridays in accordance with Army Regulation and using a network printer by Kwajalein Range Services editorial staff, P.O. Box 23, APO AP Phone: Autovon ; local Printed circulation: 2,000 the little brother rode along with the bigger kids down the sidewalks and to the local five-and-dime to buy baseball cards. No one got an allowance except for the only child with rich parents who lived down the street. He got whatever he wanted and wasn t afraid to show it off. But the other neighborhood parents either couldn t afford allowances, or didn t believe in it. So, the kids used whatever nickels and dimes they could scrape together doing odd jobs for parents, scrounging under the couch cushins or, in a pinch, looking for that weak moment when a parent might give in to some begging. Inevitably, some change would appear and disappear just as quickly, turned into something more valuable the wax-paper-sealed, 2½-by-3 inch piece of cardboard with a picture of a baseball hero and all the important statistics on the back. That was Bob s life in the Midwest. He d later move to Arkansas, where the family joined the local Methodist church. He sang in the choir, but his voice was awful. Still, he was quite the showman, so for the church play, Ronnie Kay Smith, the young and pretty plucky director, put him in the front and had him speak most of the lines. You might say he was an early rapper. Somehow, he convinced Miss Smith his little brother would do well in another role, and who was she to question his judgement on matters relating to that play and his brother. So the little brother got the part, and the whole choir traveled around Arkansas performing, The Music Machine. As the years passed, Bob s family, like so many of that generation, went through a divorce, the family, or what was left of it, moved, but he carried on with his usual care-free spirit. He worked hard in school, but never missed a chance to lead a group of kids on some adventure, whether it was a BBgun war in the woods or a tobagon towed behind a three-wheeled motorcycle. The little brother followed along each time, dodging BBs, hanging on for dear life or suggesting that maybe, this time, they d gotten in over their heads. Bob would just laugh. As in his early years, Bob led a group of kids through high school. Not really a gang, however, they socialized, drove around in his giant green Plymouth, and stopped off at someone s house to watch movies or just hang out. Then the little brother got sick, and went to the hospital. Bob couldn t talk his way into achieving health for his little brother. It was beyond his control, and he didn t like that. But when his brother got out, four weeks later, he contacted a friend at the movie theater who worked as an usher and snuck him into Top Gun, the hottest movie at the time. The little brother vowed to become a fighter pilot like Maverick in the movie, and Bob just smiled supportively, then said, sure bro, knowing it could never happen. Why crush the dreams of a sick, little kid, he must have thought. Like all young men, though, Bob found things to keep him away from home like high school swimming, an after-school job and a girlfriend. He tried to include his brother as much as possible, getting the little guy into the Catholic youth group of which the girlfriend was a member. Bob would go on to be the first, non- Catholic president of that organization and received a personal invitation from the diocese to convert. He laughed and said he was a more faithful member the way he was than most of the actual members. Finally, Bob went on to college, several states away, and then to his career, which took him all over the world. At first he wrote a lot, but the letters trailed off as life became more complex. Christmas and summer visits, routine during college, became impractical as he had little money in his early 20s, due mostly to the low pay of his profession. The letters he sent told of adventures, as he and his buddies from work, all in the same boat, discovered the world around them. He still tried to include his little brother, but adventures became fewer and farther between. The little brother went down his own path. Bob finally got married and now has nearly two-year-old twins. He s moved up in his profession, but he still travels a lot and he continues to work hard. He believes in his profession. Today, some folks call Bob Major Bennett. Others call him Sir, and some folks include him among the ranks of gentlemen, of which he is, but not because of an act of Congress. Happy Birthday, big brother. 2

3 Topping It Off Workers on the ground, high above in manlifts and sitting in cranes, replace the Millimeter Wave radar dome cap last week on Roi-Namur. The installation phase of the project began on August 7 with the buildup of a new 435 panel cap, according to Mark Thimsen, KRS systems engineer. Last week, workers removed the old cap and set the new cap in place. Workers are changing out the remaining old panels in a panel-for-panel manner and Thimsen expects the radome installation to be completed by mid-september. The installation crew has worked 10-hour days and weekends, and although they have been hampered by rain and by corrosion of the old radome hardware, the project is on schedule, he said. (Photo by Mark Thimsen) UMUC prof learns about Pacific islands first-hand By Jon Cassel Staff Writer Michael Zdanovich, currently from Okinawa, recently arrived on island to begin teaching classes in the upcoming term offered by University of Maryland University Campus. The UMUC is offering courses in American government and a history of American relations with China and Japan. The first term, which began on Tuesday for the American government course, and yesterday for the American relations with China and Japan course, will last a term or a total of eight weeks since UMUC has five terms each year. Zdanovich said he is fired up about coming to Kwaj for the two terms he will be teaching, and has a few side plans of his own. The pace of the island is just great, he said. I m really looking forward to doing some scuba diving. He said that when he finally leaves he wants to be able to say, I came, I saw, I scuba dived. Originally from Boston, Zdanovich taught an American government course almost every year of his career, however the other class will be new for him, he said. He earned his bachelor of arts degree in international relations as well as archeology from Beloit College in Wisconsin and later went on to earn a master of arts degree from Columbia University in New York City. Zdanovich practiced archeology for a while, but is currently working on his doctorate on the Pacific islands from the University of Hawaii s East-West Center, he said. In the past I know [UMUC] has offered courses in English, business, government, history, and oceanography, he said. I m especially interested in Kwaj because I ve studied the Pacific islands at the University of Hawaii for quite some time It s really thrilling to actually be here after studying it for so long. Measles shots needed for everyone under 40 By KW Hillis Associate Editor The Centers for Disease Control raised the age bar to 40 for people needing immunization against measles Thursday, according to Dr. Jill Horner, Kwajalein Hospital staff physician. She added that all badged workers up to 30 years old have been immunized and the immunization program on Ebeye and USAKA is refocusing on those up to age 40, with inoculation starting at the Dock Security Checkpoint on Wednesday. There are now two deaths and 450 cases on Majuro, she said. Ebeye has six cases, all contacts of each other and there are a few cases on Jaluit and Ailuk, two outer islands. There is one case in Honolulu and three in Guam that can be traced to Majuro, Horner added. USAKA officials reinstated all access programs as of Thursday, and this announcement will not affect the access programs, but will affect international travelers, Horner said. International travelers 40 and under must show proof of vaccination before being allowed on planes, she said. To travel within the atoll, however, anyone under 30 years of age, including badged workers, must show proof that they have been immunized with the measles, mump, rubella vaccine when they arrive at DSC. Travel to Ebeye is authorized for anyone over 30 years of age or those inoculated with the MMR vaccine, according to USAKA officials. The hospital is looking for volunteers who have a nursing background to help with the new round of vaccinations, going house to house on Ebeye or at the DSC next Wednesday. Volunteers should call Horner,

4 Range commanders compare notes By KW Hillis Associate Editor Instead of recreating the wheel on each of 22 test, training or operational ranges located throughout the United States and in the Pacific, the Range Commanders Council does more than cooperate in identifying common problems and finding solutions. It s coordination, said Dave Villeneuve, Reagan Test Site Technical Director. We have goals of working on technical standards, joint procurements and exchanges of technical equipment. Villeneuve attended the Dave Villeneuve Aug RCC conference at Fort Irwin, Calif. as the RTS technical representative along with USAKA Commander Col. Jerry Brown as the installation commander. Lt. Col. Anne Daugherty did not attend as the Executive Committee member since she had just arrived on island, but will attend the next conference in February, according to Villeneuve. Founded in 1951, the council is made up of range commanders, executive officers and technical representatives all who volunteer their time, he said. In an effort to standardize and solve common technical and operational problems, 15 technical groups, such as the frequency management group, meteorology group and telemetry group also meet twice a year to discuss problems and develop tasks for their solutions. The technical groups separate reports are given to Villeneuve and other technical representatives, who monitor their problems and provide direction and guidance on their activities and tasks during the first day of the RCC conference. They, in turn, give a final report to the range commanders and others on the executive committee. Some issues or tasks that are brought to the committee are common to most, if not all, the ranges. The RCC finalizes standards that the ranges can use. (File illustration, courtesy of RTS) Telemetry standards are used by personnel on Mount Olympus, above, and by almost every range located throughout the United States and in the Pacific. Instead of developing standards on each range, the Range Commanders Council helps the 22 ranges by, among other things, writing technical standards for use by all the ranges. Almost every range has telemetry, he said. So if you are writing telemetry standards they are common to everyone But the RCC s effort goes beyond not recreating the wheel in 22 different locations. Each range is not a finite entity, many of the ranges such as RTS and Vandenberg Air Force Base test together all the time and need to be on the same page, he said. Debris containment is one such issue the RCC is working on. Different ranges use different safety analysis tools, he said. [So a safety display] for one range may be slightly different if another range did the analysis. That is something they are working on outside the RCC, but RCC members are involved. The same members that are in the RCC safety committees are also working together in other venues, such as Missile Defense Agency s Pacific Range Support Team, who also wants to standardize these processes, he said. Encroachment issues are another current issue for the RCC, although encroachment is not yet an issue at RTS. One of the big issues on the western ranges is encroachment, he said, explaining that encroachment can be building close to a range, finding endangered plants or animals on your range, or loss of frequency spectrum to commercial entities because of the proliferation of cell phones and other electronic devices. As the available frequencies diminish coordination with nearby ranges becomes extremely important. We don t have those problems here, but they are important issues and someday we might. he said. During the conference Villeneuve said he heard stories of operations being shut down due to encroachment. They tell a story of a pilot coming into Nellis [AFB] and there is a guy building a house essentially on the approach way, he said. It s on private property, but when they start doing night operations, that guy is going to call the mayor and say, These guys are creating a disturbance out here, and they can shut you down. The RCC conference is also used to work on joint procurements or exchanges of equipment. The radar that used to be up on Mount Olympus was given to the Pacific Missile Range Facility in Kauai, Villeneuve said. We work closely with the PMRF doing testing. When it turned out that we were going to have this radar available, it (See RANGES, page 5) 4

5 Ranges plan to go digital... (From page 4) came up at the RCC conference. Other than the debris containment standards and encroachment issues, the technical groups came up with a list of tasks for the RCC. One issue on the task list is for high-speed digital data standards and control. We re all going to digital cameras and digital optical recording systems, he said. We re trying to get rid of film out here because it is so expensive and it s so hard to manage. Another issue which involves many of the ranges is the development of a command range data network architecture called the Test and Evaluation Network Architecture or TENA so every range can communicate easily with each other. We can t really put data out and all of a sudden another range can use it, he said. In some instances we can... but not universally. TENA will help solve the problems associated with the high cost of testing. What you would really like to do is have some virtual testing going on, some live testing going on and in a distributive environment which means real and virtual systems being tested in different locations but appearing as if they are on your range, he said. TENA will help resolve some of the complexities associated with this type of testing. The RCC is working closely with the TENA developers to address the range issues, he said. As to when these and other issues or tasks will be completed by the RCC depends on how much time each volunteer can put into the task. The RCC is a voluntary group. We set goals, but we don t always make the goals, he said. People are taken away to other projects how much time we can put in depends on the mission schedule. Despite the volunteer nature of the membership which has increased over the years, the RCC has been successful for more than fifty years in helping the ranges streamline, cooperate and coordinate solutions to common problems, he said. Their solutions result in significant cost savings to both the DoD and taxpapers, he added. SBX radar seeks Alaskan latitude By KW Hillis Associate Editor The fact that the 250-foot radome of the Sea-Based X- Band radar will decorate Adak, Alaska s Pacific skyline, but not Kwajalein s lagoon skyline, is a disappointment but not a surprise. If we were 4,000 miles north we would have had a better chance, said Doug Hoskins, RTS Instrumentation engineer, who helped put together the briefings and tour for the SBX site selection team in March. I m not too surprised. RTS Technical director Dave Villeneuve said, We re all a little disappointed, but I didn t think we could get it. Lt. Gen. Ronald T. Kadish, Missile Defense Agency director, announced Aug. 15 that Adak would be the Primary Support Base for the SBX radar according to a DODNEWS release. In March, a nine-member SBX site selection team toured Kwajalein to assess the advisability of using the range as the SBX s Primary Support Base. The X-Band radar is part of the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense test program and is designed to intercept and destroy long-range ballistic missiles aimed at the U.S. homeland, according to DODNEWS. This radar is mounted on a modified oil platform which is semi-submersible, self-propelled, 390-feet-long by 238-feet-wide and weighs 30,000 tons. The team was impressed with the range and the community, according to Navy Cmdr. Robert Dees, SBX technical advisor and spokesperson for the site selection team, in the March 28, 2003 Hourglass. One very unique aspect is that ballistic missile testing that goes on here, Dees said. One of the advantages here is that the community is used to working with highpowered radar and there is a very 5 (File photo) TheSBX radar, shown in this artist s rendering, will head north to Alaska when complete. controlled environment, which is good. The one disadvantage about Kwajalein is distance, Dees said in March. It is fairly far from the test locations and we re also at the end of a long supply pipeline, he said. Five other sites were also assessed for factors including environmental considerations, infrastructure, cost, security and the local community s reaction to the SBX, according to the Hourglass issue. The sites considered, other than Kwajalein and Adak, included Naval Station Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; Port of Valdez, Alaska; Naval Station Everett, Wash.; and Naval Base Ventura/San Nicolas Island, Calif. Adak, a town of 70 people, and its Naval Station, closed by DOD in 1996, won out over the other contenders. I just think it s just a matter of latitude, Hoskins said. Even if they had come here, they would be running up to the north Pacific all the time. They wouldn t be here months out of the year. Villeneuve agreed, At their home port in Adak, they will be able to get to their area of operations area pretty quickly. But, because of its mobility, the radome may be seen on Kwajalein s skyline in the future. We may still see them, they may come by, Hoskins said. I would like to see the finished project.

Closed Golf course automates beer sales By Jim Bennett Editor Holmberg Fairways and Vending officials are under way to meeting a contract requirement and increased convenience for adult golfers this week with the installation of a beer vending machine at the golf course. But don t think this machine comes without security, said Paul Fritz, Retail Services manager. The machine dispenses cans of beer only after reading a card issued to the user by course or vending officials. After swiping his or her card, the buyer then provides the machine money to buy the 12-ounce can of beer. Fritz and Bob Butz, golf course supervisor, will be on hand at the course this weekend, issuing cards to adults. Each numbered card will be issued for a $10 administration fee, which will be refunded on return of the card. If the card is lost, however, the fee will be kept and an additional $10 replacement fee will be charged, Fritz said. Patrons should report lost cards to Fritz immediately. Those receiving a card will have to sign a form saying they understand the Kimij karakik tok kom Kimij karakik tok kom is the Marshaleese way to say welcome. Literally, it means, We make you no longer strangers. Capt. Michael J. Russell, his wife, Janet, and children, Dylen, 10; regulations associated with the beer machine access cards, he added. The machine is kept in the golf locker room to protect it from the elements, Fritz said. With the sensitivity of the equipment and the highly corrisive atmosphere at the golf course, it would not last long out there, Fritz said, adding soda machines placed outdoors at the golf course, with less electronic equipment, last less than two years. The move stems from a Performance Work Statement requirement that the contractor make beer available to adults at the golf course during regular business hours. But that limited the hiring of golf course employees, particularly pro shop workers, to adults or required additional positions, Fritz said. We would be eliminating more work and after-school hours for the youth, Fritz said. So KRS officials chose to automate the service, and sought the card-reading technology to make it happen. If the card reader does not prove reliable, Fritz said officials would have to relook at the hiring of youth at the golf course. Thunder and lightning hits home By Jim Bennett Editor Residents awoke around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday night to the unfamiliar sound of thunder as a trio of lightning bolts struck the island. There were three big ones that probably woke people up, said Valerie McCoy, Aeromet meteorolgist who observed the event. Strikes occured at 3:34 a.m., 3:39 a.m. and 3:45 a.m., according to meteorologist Mark Bradford. But lightning strikes are not unheard of on Kwajalein, just more rare than in the states, Bradford said. You get more charge build-up on land and the continents, he said. Also, because of the warm, tropical air, clouds don t form in the same layers that are as conducive to lightning as in the states. That s not to say it doesn t happen. Earlier in the year, we had lightning warnings on Roi-Namur, Bradford said. He also noted that a Wednesday night storm 50 miles to the west produced 25 strikes over a 45 minute period, two hours before the Kwaj strikes, which points out another reason lightning strikes are rare. One has to be at the right place at the right time, and with little land mass, the right place is pretty small. It s really luck of the draw, Bradford said. Jacob, 8; Josalyn, 4; and Emilee, 1; recently arrived from Fort Riley, Kan. where he was a company commander. He is the new RTS Space test director. On arrival, he said, Incredible hot, humid, beautiful. 6

12 Women s Equality Day Mentors and their students help each other grow By KW Hillis Associate Editor Familiar Kwaj faces lab technician, architectural designer, administrative assistant, veterinary technician, food service worker and range commander accompanied by Dolly Parton s song Eagle When She Flies, welcomed residents to the Special Emphasis and Equal Opportunity Programs Women s Equality Day luncheon. When I see something like this, I get encouraged, said luncheon speaker Dr. Linda Gentle, acting director of the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense and Acquisition Center, as she watched the slide show of local women filling a variety of jobs. I want to emphasize achievement, working hard [and] helping people, she said. If we weren t doing this Women s Equality Day, there would be no reason to have a lecture. So because we celebrate certain events we have excuses to let people present things. It is the fact we need to encourage each other, she said. It is an opportunity to encourage. SEEOPS is an Army-wide program designed to set aside each month to recognize an ethic or social group The Army set aside August to recognize the pioneering women of the past and the innovative women of today, said Twilyn Sheet, Public Affairs intern and event organizer, before introducing Gentle. Gentle reviewed a few facts from the history of women s rights, including that it took 72 years for women to gain the right to vote after the beginning of the movement. Sixteen other countries gave women the vote before the U.S., and her great-grandmother was a 1920 suffragette who was called both immoral and radi- Tonight: Partly cloudy with a slight chance of showers.

Gentle then transitioned into encouraging others, men and women, by the use of mentoring. That morning s walk on the Kwaj Lodge beach made her notice that when she walked by critters in their shells, they froze what they were doing, she said. If someone stops when you watch them, as a mentor, you should help them start moving again. She outlined what mentors need to be and do role model, listener, trustworthy and observer and encourage goal setting. Since she is raising her 11-year -old grandson, Gentle admitted she had to become a better role model (Photos by KW Hillis) by slowing down when she Above: Pauline Alfred reads about women s equality at drove.

They also must listen and sort out the options from their mentor. Finally, they need to be trustworthy and honest themselves, just like the mentor. Mentoring and support can take place among unrelated or related people, she said. One of the techniques that three women, in a recently read book, used to help mentor each other was for each to pick a word that they would aspire to for the next 12 months, Gentle said.
