(575) 538-2505 Veterans Non Profit provides an array of services 10B By Marcy Sanchez WBAMC Public Affairs As part of William Beaumont Army Medical Center s Partners in Education program, a special guest was invited to speak to students at Terrace Hills Middle School as part of March s Women s History Month experience, March 27. Former WBAMC commander and retired Maj. Gen. Carla Hawley-Bowland spoke to the students in an effort to inspire them to keep dreaming big and never give up. It s important to get (students) excited about dreaming and getting to where they want to be instead of accepting the status quo, said Hawley-Bowland, an obstetrician and gynecologist. They can go after anything; there s always a path to get there. They just have to sometimes be willing to change paths, but they can get there. Shortly after serving as WBAMC s commander from 2000 to 2002, Hawley-Bowland was nominated to become the first female Medical Corps general officer in the U.S. Army. Retiring in 2011, Hawley-Bowland s impressive résumé includes 32 years of service with roles ranging from hospital commander to being the last commanding general and only female to command Walter Reed Army Medical Center before casing its colors and merging with the National Naval Medical Center to become Walter Reed National Military Medical in 2011. A glass ceiling was broken, said Sgt. Stetson Proctor, senior advisor for the WBAMC Junior Enlisted Council, the WBAMC group which coordinates most PIE engagements. She paved the way for future leaders. As a commander, Hawley-Bowland opened opportunities for female Soldiers as evidenced through her Soldiers success to include U.S. Army Surgeon Generals, retired Lt. Gen. Patricia Horoho and current Surgeon General, Lt. Gen. Nadja West, both of whom served under Army Secretary talks modernization, improved training, fitness 11B Photos by Marcy Sanchez / WBAMC Public Affairs Retired Maj. Gen. Carla Hawley-Bowland, former William Beaumont Army Medical Center commander (2000-2002) and first female physician general officer in the Army, is seen behind memorabilia representing phases of her life during a presentation in observance of Women s History Month at Terrace Hills Middle School in El Paso March 27. Former WBAMC commander inspires students Students at Terrace Hills Middle School take notes as retired Maj. Gen. Carla Hawley-Bowland, former William Beaumont Army Medical Center commander (2000-2002) and first female physician general officer in the Army, speaks during a presentation in observance of Women s History Month at Terrace Hills Middle School in El Paso March 27. Hawley-Bowland. During her presentation, Hawley-Bowland shared stories of growing up in Wyoming, working in a male-dominate industry and overcoming obstacles by working outside her comfort zone and pushing beyond the norm. I knew I wanted something in science. It wasn t anything specific, but I was good at science and math, shared Hawley-Bowland. As I went forward, I kept narrowing it down and down and when I got to college and began working at the hospital, I knew what it was that I wanted to do. Today, Hawley-Bowland continues to teach OB-GYN at various institutions and is a medical volunteer at WBAMC s OB-GYN. (Hawley-Bowland s story) shows our young future leaders that anything is possible, Proctor said. Hopefully these students understand the great things she s accomplished and know that they can do it too. The presentation ended with intrigued students firing questions at the former Medical Corps chief regarding her experiences and opportunities. Never give up on your dreams and be willing to change, Hawley-Bowland said. Never give up.

2B April 12, 2018 FORT BLISS BUGLE Fort Bliss Auto Crafts available for DIY projects Photos by Miguel De Santiago / Special to the Fort Bliss Bugle Have you been arrested? Been in an accident? YOU DESERVE JUSTICE! By Miguel De Santiago Special to the Fort Bliss Bugle Fort Bliss Auto Crafts, provided by Fort Bliss Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, is a wonderland for gearheads. It is a giant facility with multiple bays that are filled with tools and equipment for all sorts of auto repair, maintenance and restoration plus a do-it-yourself element that makes the shop even more unique. They help you to understand what you re doing, said Staff Sgt. Darryl A. Lindsey as he changed valves and hoses on his vehicle. A lot of people don t know what they re doing when they work on cars. Lindsey also mentioned the affordable pricing and the advice he has received from the staff. I have a nice time with them, Lindsey said. More people should come in here. They just don t know what they re missing out on. It s a nice place and it s good for the military. Angel Jimenez, a supervisor at Fort Bliss Auto Crafts who proactively provides advice and assistance in the shop, said he enjoys showing Soldiers and clients who come in how easy it is to do maintenance and repair work. It s a real friendly environment, Jimenez said. I tell people it s better that you do it just so you have that experience for your knowledge. The facility allows DIY work only after the completion of an orientation class, after which participants receive a safety card. The classes take place Wednesdays and Thursdays at 6 p.m. and Saturdays at 8 a.m. and usually last around 30 minutes. We have the ability to use the lifts and you don t have to buy your own tools. You could just come here and they lend you whatever tools you (Top left) Staff Sgt. Darryl A. Lindsey works on his vehicle inside Fort Bliss Auto Crafts here April 4. (Left) Spc. Alejandro Mireles changes the oil on his vehicle at Fort Bliss Auto Crafts here April 4. We have the ability to use the lifts and you don t have to buy your own tools. You could just come here and they lend you whatever tools you need. >> Staff Sgt. Jeffrey D. Cordero need, said Staff Sgt. Jeffrey D. Cordero as he changed the shifter kit on his car. Some people meet here just to work on cars and that s how I heard about it. Folks who aren t savvy at car repair and maintenance are encouraged to come in and receive assistance from certified mechanic staff or close friends who know the shop. The staff is great, said Spc. Alejandro Mireles as he changed the oil on his vehicle. Mireles said he found out about the shop after he told a friend it was too expensive to get an oil change off post. Mireles learned how to change oil from his friend at Fort Bliss Auto Crafts and it has become his go-to place for oil changes ever since. Jimenez said Fort Bliss Auto Crafts has almost every tool or piece of equipment someone might need for a repair or project, but it s better to double check before starting. I tell all my customers the best bet when they re getting into a job and it requires a specialty tool is to let us know before you start, so that way if I do have it you know it s there or I could order it for you, Jimenez said. You don t want to get through the work and then you re stuck with a car on the lift. There is a $6-an-hour fee to use the DIY bay. Jimenez said using the shop for DIY maintenance and repairs is cheaper than the labor costs competitors charge, which he said often turn out to be the costliest element of a service. If you re not at all interested in DIY car work, Fort Bliss Auto Crafts has you covered with a wide range of services at fair prices, including Texas inspection validation services. The auto shop also provides storage for project vehicles. I m just trying to get Soldiers to come on in, save them money, Jimenez said. We re here to help.

4B April 12, 2018 FORT BLISS BUGLE TIRES & BRAKES Courtesy graphic The above numbers were extracted from a service member s subprime lending contract for educational purposes. For a loan of $1,089.26, the service member paid $3,209.05. Beware of subprime lenders By Rito G. Vallez Jr. Personal Financial Readiness Specialist Are you in a tight spot? Do you need money fast? If you answered yes to either of these questions, there is a chance you could be tempted to visit a subprime lender for quick cash. Congress established the Military Lending Act in 2006 to assist in the protection of our service men and women from predatory lending. One of the rights under the act is that lenders cannot charge service members more than a 36 percent military annual percentage rate. Other rights include finance charges, credit insurance premiums or fees, add-on products sold in connection with the credit, and other fees like the application or participation fees, with some exceptions, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The term some exceptions is where you need to be cautious. For example, if you finance $1,089.26 with some subprime lenders, you could find yourself paying an annual percentage rate (the cost of your credit as a yearly rate) of 581.72 percent; a finance charge (the dollar amount the credit will cost you) of $2,119.79; and a total of payments of $3,209.05. When borrowing from organizations such as these, you are placing yourself further in debt. When borrowing from organizations such as these, you are placing yourself further in debt. Where can you go in time of need? Army Emergency Relief is one place you can turn to in a time of crisis. AER provides service members zero percent interest loans. Some of the categories of assistance are rent or mortgage, utilities and deposits, food, dental and medical, emergency travel, travel fund for relocation (permanent change of station), funeral expenses, vehicle repair, replacement vehicle, cranial helmets, essential furniture, car seats, repair or replacement of basic appliances and minor home repairs. AER is located at Army Community Service, Bldg. 2494 Ricker Road. Your Fort Bliss financial educators are here for you if you wish to speak with someone regarding questions or concerns. They can help you with the calculator, print off information and help you better understand financial information.

By Lisa Smith Molinari Special to the Fort Bliss Bugle You know those people who open bags of M&Ms and dump the entire contents into their upturned mouths? They re the same ones who eat icing roses off birthday cakes, open big presents before little ones and ask for the good news first. Unfortunately, I m not one of those people. Throughout life, I ve strictly adhered to a save the best for last regimen. As a kid, I would squirrel away things trinkets, treats, rewards and ration them to myself, slowly and methodically, until the best was left to savor. Take those M&Ms for example. I sorted through them one by one, eating the misshapen ones first, until I had a perfect candy of each color. Those five, The Chosen, would be ceremoniously sacrificed in one final, triumphant chomp. They didn t taste any different than the rest, so why the irrational ritual? In junior high school, everyone collected stickers, but while my friends were slapping theirs on books and lockers, I stashed mine away for something special. Those stored stickers eventually lost their stick. I think my mother still has a sheet of crusty Smurf stickers in the desk drawer of my old room. Every Easter, Valentine s Day and Halloween, I would ration my candy, saving the best treats so long that they often got too stale to eat. Decades later, I m still nibbling around center of cinnamon rolls and reading the most interesting magazine article last. Why? What has it ever gotten me but a rock-hard coconut egg and a shriveled Papa Smurf sticker? Has all my controlled frugality been for naught? I consulted an expert (Google) and found that best for last tendencies have been researched extensively. Scientists have studied delayed gratification, intuitive judgment and peak-end bias to find out why some eat muffin tops first and others don t. In a 2011 University of Michigan experiment, students were given a series of chocolates to eat. With each candy, the experimenter said, Here is your next chocolate. But when the experimenter said, This is your last chocolate, the subjects tended to rate that last candy as their favorite regardless of the flavor. Finally, my M&M sorting ritual makes sense. This experiment dovetails with peak-end bias research by Nobel Prize-winner Daniel Kahneman, which shows that people irrationally judge experiences by what happened last. For example, if a mediocre vacation ended with a fantastic night in a five-star hotel, vacationers tend to remember the trip FORT BLISS BUGLE April 12, 2018 5B Marshmallows and military adventure: Grab em while you can positively. Despite this illogical partiality for end experiences, there are rational bases for saving the best for last. In the Stanford (University) Marshmallow Experiments in the 1960s, researchers offered 600 preschoolers one marshmallow now, or two 15 minutes later. The vast majority of subjects waited for the additional reward, proving that children understand delayed gratification. A follow-up study showed that the ability to delay gratification was linked to higher SAT scores and lower body mass indexes. Somehow, that correlation skipped over me. Finally, a 2013 Cornell University study showed that the tendency to save the best for last fades with age. Apparently, younger adults have long-term visions that require saving for later, while older folks think, Life is too short; eat dessert first. How does this apply to military families? Certainly, we must be frugal, always saving and planning for our ever-changing futures. Living a life centered around serving one s country requires careful organization and responsibility. However, military life also offers the luxury to splurge on experiences. Despite all those years I spent digging through plastic strands of grass to ferret out jelly beans while my peanut butter eggs dried up, our family didn t delay gratification when it came to our military experiences. We ate the marshmallow, taking unique opportunities as soon as they arose. And my husband s 28-year military career ended with a bang after a fun final tour in Newport, Rhode Island, we threw a huge retirement party that was way over our budget. Don t delay the adventure. Live overseas, rent a unique house, travel, try indigenous foods, go to military balls, eat the whole bag of M&Ms grab the bull by the horns and make the most of your military journey.

6B April 12, 2018 FORT BLISS BUGLE There is only one way to the truth By Chaplain (Capt.) James D. Duran 2nd Bn., 43rd ADA Regt., 11th ADA Bde. John 14:6 says, Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no Man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. It doesn t matter how much I try, I seem to get lost. I can plan the route in advance, can take additional maps for extra help or call the venue for direction. I still seem to get confused or mixed up in getting to my final destination. This is unlike Jesus Christ; He is the Way and the only way for us to find truth and eternal life. So often, we rely on other people to get us to heaven. We forget the only person who can get us to our destination without the U-turns and confusions. The answer is Jesus Christ himself. Jesus said, All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. John 6:37. No man cometh unto the Father but by Me. John 14:6. H e wipes away any other proposed w a y to heaven, including good works, religious ceremonies or costly gifts. There is only one way, and that way is Jesus Christ. Before a court hearing, you hear the words from the bailiff, Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God? We hear so many times from our celebrities, politicians, best friends and even family members that they tell us lies. They fail us so many times that it really hurts us. It s like a deep cut that penetrates down to the bones or heart. When someone lies about you behind your back, it even hurts more than if they lie to your face. We speak to people in our profession and we become aware of some lie someone has told about us or someone else. It is sad when people cannot be honest. There is only one person we can count on for absolute truth, and that is Jesus Christ Himself. We can believe every word He says to us without reservation and we don t have to worry about Him changing His mind on His truth. Jesus Christ is the only truth that teaches us the knowledge of God, and directs his Way. He is the source of truth and He who originates and communicates for the salvation of men. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life. You may ask what is life? We enjoy life in many capacities. Life has its cycles: infancy, adolescence, teenage years, adulthood and then golden years. It comes rather quickly. I am nearing 60 years old and I look back and wonder where the time has gone. I can remember when I was 5 years old running around the house without a care about anything or anyone. Life is coming to an end. Do I have any regrets, forgiveness to do, and do I have any actions that I would like to take back? Those are the questions that enter everyone as they come to the end of life. Jesus Christ is the Life, both in grace and glory. He is the life that not only saves us from death, but also destroys it. Jesus said, I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me will live, even though they die. John 11:25. Why? Because He is the only One who has conquered death, so He has given us the opportunity to accept Him as our personal savior. Jesus Christ is the life. If we accept and receive the truth, He becomes the life. Although some say there are many paths to God, that is a heretical false teaching of the New Age movement. Let s be clear, there is only one way to God, and that is through Jesus Christ our Lord. There is no one else who can get you to heaven. As we stated at the beginning, He is the plain way. He has paved the way and is the only way to heaven. When we start to travel on the sandy desert of El Paso or through the rocky country roads where there is nothing to mark the path, then we are in a way that is not plain. The way of salvation is in Jesus Christ himself, and no other way can be possible. It s not the broad way, but the plain way. It s the narrow way, because sinners can come into eternal life by leaving their sins behind and confessing them to Jesus. Matthew 7:13 and 14 says, Enter by the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life and there are few who find it. No one can ever get to heaven who does not go through Jesus Christ. Many will miss the opportunity to get to heaven because they are relying on themselves or something else. We won t Rest until You do...

8B April 12, 2018 FORT BLISS BUGLE Legal issues related to immigration By Jennafer Tallant Fort Bliss Legal Assistance Offi ce Every two years at the state level, lawyers education gets repealed. Every two years in Texas, the legislature meets and changes laws, and lawyers have to learn new laws. That is just state law. Immigration law is part of federal law, and this particular area of law has been changing rapidly. Immigration is a very highly specialized area of law. If you have immigration issues, you need to speak with an attorney who practices in immigration or who knows how your legal issue plays out in the immigration realm. If you have a criminal matter but are concerned about your status, you need to speak with a criminal lawyer who, at a minimum, knows the consequences that could play out in your immigration case. The same is true if you need a divorce, or if you want to leave your assets to someone who is not a United States citizen. You need to speak with a lawyer who, at a minimum, knows how your legal issue interacts with immigration law. For example, a service member and a noncitizen spouse want a divorce. No reason for the divorce exists other than the two no longer get along. The spouse did not plead for cruelty or abuse, and no abuse or cruelty has existed in the marriage. Before the final hearing, the spouse s attorney wants the service member to agree to a divorce on cruelty so the spouse can remain in the United States under the Violence Against Women Act. The service member s attorney sees no problem with this issue, but the service member does. The service member has every right to be concerned, because this is fraud on a federal level which can mean prison, loss of job, deportation, and most likely Uniform Code of Military Justice action and the ending of the service member s military career. In criminal law, for anyone who is undocumented, any arrest can lead to the undocumented person being placed in removal proceedings. Even if the noncitizen spouse has a green card or a visa, certain criminal charges may lead to deportation. Felonies, crimes of violence and drug-related offenses will almost always result in deportation. DWI and fraud may also result in deportation. Because the federal government usually places a hold on immigrants, whoever pays an immigrant s bond should first check to see if a hold is placed on the immigrant. This is because a bond will get the individual released from the county jail, but if the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency or the Department of Homeland Security has a hold on the individual, the individual will be picked up by law enforcement officials and transferred to an immigration detention facility where the immigrant will have to pay another, even larger bond to the federal government. Finally, with estate planning, if you want to leave assets such a house to a noncitizen, then certain taxation rules may apply. You will need to consult with a qualified estateplanning attorney to ensure your goals are met. Immigration is a highly specialized area of law.
