2MiGAlley FlyerMarch 17, 2006CommentaryUm, yeah ... didn’t you get the memo?By Master Sgt. Kevin Hawks • 51st Mission Support SquadronIn the spirit of the cult classic "Office Space," apparently a lot of people around the Air Force didn't "get thememo." Now, I'm not talking about putting cover sheets on TPS reports, I'm talking about dress and appearancestandards. Not a day goes by where I don't have to correct an Airman for unknowingly violating thesestandards. Hopefully, after reading this article, we will all be on the same sheet of music.In June of 2004, the 96th Air Force Uniform Board approved some changes to AFI 36-2903 that still haven'treached the masses. The first of these changes not being followed, my fellow shirts and I see all too often concernsbackpacks. The uniform board approved the wear of backpacks over both shoulders, which everybodyhas heard about. What it seems people missed is the board also restricted the color of backpacks to solid black,olive drab green, and woodland camouflage for Airmen in BDUs and flight suits, and solid black only in serviceuniforms. Blue, gray, red, and any other color your backpack may be, is no longer allowed in uniform.DiamondTipsAnother result of the uniform board that we see violated all too oftenis hands in pockets. Prior to this uniform board, there was alwaysdebate as to if you could put your hands in your pockets or not. Thedebate is over. The board approved adding the specific wording prohibitingputting hands in pockets, which includes the pockets of Gore-Tex and cold-weather parkas.The next point I want to cover is not a part of the uniform boardchanges, but is relevant to Osan. AFI 36-2903 provides installationcommanders the authority to approve the wear of the stocking or Navywatch cap. While the 51st Fighter Wing does not have an approved supplementyet, it has been drafted to include this guidance as follows:Airmen are authorized to wear the stocking cap from 1 Oct. 1 throughApril 15. The cap will be worn squarely on the head with a 1½" to 2"fold, no extra material protruding from the top and, as with all headgear,no hair exposed in the front. The cap can only be worn with approvedouter garments. However, maintenance personnel may wear it without acoat while performing duties in their immediate work area.The last thing I need to address is actually a couple of safety concerns.The first is the use of headphones on base. Safety guidelinesprohibit the use of headphones while walking or jogging on Osan byanybody unless you are on the track behind the High School. The secondis the wear of reflective belts. Currently, Airmen are heading to orleaving work in the dark. Please, if you are in uniform and walkingaround during hours of reduced visibility, you must have a reflective beltaround you, and if you are carrying a backpack, you must have an additionalone around it. As a driver on Osan Air Base, I can assure you thatwithout the belt, you are practically invisible. Even if you have one onyour backpack, I can't see it if you are walking towards me.This article was written in the spirit of ensuring all Airmen adhere tothe standards. It was not written to chastise. Does wearing a blue backpackor having your hands in your pockets mean you are a bad Airmanand can't perform your duties? Absolutely not! But we are members ofa profession with standards and complying with those standards is inherentto the Profession of Arms. As for the safety items, myself and therest of the leadership of the Air Force want to make sure you are readyto fight tonight.BODY JEWLERY -- Members are prohibited from attaching, affixing ordisplaying objects, articles, jewelry or ornamentation to or through the ear,nose, tongue or any exposed body part while on a military installation.Piercing of earlobes by women is allowed, but should not be extreme orexcessive. The type and style of earrings worn by women on a militaryinstallation should be conservative and kept within sensible limits.(Source: AFI 36-2903) Questions?

MiG Alley FlyerNEWS March 17, 2006 3Chili’sContinued from Page 1Computersbefore Thursday’s grand opening.The restaurant has been anAmerican tradition since 1975, andOsan’s Chili’s makes a total of threein Air Force Services behindKadena Air Base, Japan, andRamstein AB, Germany, said Maj.Todd Alcott, commander for the51st Services Squadron.“What (is) a common icon statesideis now a reality for Osan . . .thanks to all the hard working folksin the services squadron,” the majorsaid. “(They are responsible for )bringing yet another popular diningdestination to Osan. This endeavorwill surpass our wildest dreams, andbring joy to the Korea military communityfor many years to come --services rocks!”It may be fair to say also the newstaff at Chili’s rocks, too! Accordingto Miss Aubrey Urbanowicz, aseven and a half year Chili’semployee and corporate trainer, thebartenders, servers and managersare quickly adapting to the ins-andoutsof the fast-paced eatery.“The staff is performing verywell. They are picking up the computersystem much faster thanemployees in our stateside locations,”Miss Urbanowicz said.“Their work ethic is amazing. Whenwe ask them to correct somethingthey’re doing wrong, it takes justthat one time for them to correct it.”She, along with 23 other corporatetrainers, is here for about threeweeks to train the staff. Osan’sChili’s is Miss Urbanowicz’s 20thtraining location and her first oneoverseas.The signature “Chili pepper”appeared over the entranceshortly before Christmas, withthe construction beginning inearly 2005, Major Alcott said.He said our services investmentsin Osan’s facilities arepaying off.“Many people wonder wheretheir financial investments gowhen they purchase products fromthe Army and Air Force ExchangeService, and one of them is ournew $3.4 million Chili’sRestaurant,” Major Alcott said.“When a customer walks into ourChili’s and makes a purchase, thatinvestment will help build futurefacilities and programs.“Both the 51st SVS and AAFEShave made huge corporate changesby listening to our customers, and asa result, we are producing “namebrands” that people are familiarwith in the commercial industry likeChili’s,” the major said.Ms. Lorna Fermanis, manager forthe officers club, who was responsiblefor the services part of the construction,as well as assisting withfood purchasing and personnel hiring,said said Chili’s will not takereservations, but customers willhave other options for dining convenience.“Call ahead (seating is available)providing how long the wait is; notgoing to the front of the line,” Ms.Fermanis said. “There will be to-goservices, (but) just like the states, nodelivery services will be available.”Aweaponssystemwith amouseBy Staff Sgt. Andrea Knudson51st Fighter Wing Public AffairsProtecting people, infrastructure andresources such as Air Force weapons systemsshouldn't be anything new to AirForce members. However, the concept oftreating the computers Airmen use everyday as a weapons system may be a newone to some.Making the connection between vigilantlyprotecting those weaponssystems and theCMI tipsimportance ofprotecting the computersAirmen useevery day is a serious matterand something Airmencan improve upon, according toSenior Master Sgt. David Cruz,superintendent for the 51stCommunications Squadron networkengineering and security element."An example of where Airmen canimprove their vigilance in protecting theirnetwork and computer systems is ensuringthey use proper procedures for classifiedmessage incidents," Senior Master Sgt.Cruz said. "And the most challengingaspect of classified message incident proceduresis educating our (Airmen) that thee-mail they use regularly is part of aweapons system our enemies would liketo have access to."A classified message incidentis when information of ahigher classification is introducedonto a network that isnot approved and protected,said Mr. John Ford, 51st CSsection chief for the informationassurance element."If an individualreceives or causes a CMI,1. Cease all operations!2. DO NOT delete the information, email anyinformation, or save any data.3. Disconnect the LAN cable in the back ofthe computer.4. DO NOT leave the computer unattendeduntil it has been sanitized or secured in anappropriate classified storage container.5. Notify the Client Support Administrator,Unit Security Managerand FunctionalSystem Administrator, or InformationSystems Security Officer.d. Network Control Center Help Desk at784-2666 (24/7). If you call via unsecuredmeans state the following: "I have a networkincident that requires your immediate presence."Remember, never discuss this informationon the unclassified network or telephone.Air Force Instructions require that all securityincidents be reported immediately!they need to immediatecease all operations andnotify the client supportadministrator or the 51stCS help desk so actionscan be implemented toprevent the spread ofthe CMI," Mr. Fordsaid. He also saidusers should not leavetheir computers unattendedwhen a CMIoccurs.To ensure thesafety of U.S.Forces in Koreaand in other areasof the world, it'simportant classifiedinformationisn't compromised,SeniorMaster Sgt.Cruz said.Periodically,he said thenetworkengineeringand securityelementwill test thebase's ability to effectively andproperlyhandleCMIs."We sendout test messagesvia e-mail that indicatethey are classified(but aren't) and then we waitfor proper response from the recipient,"Senior Master Sgt. Cruz said. "Again, thefirst response is to cease all operations."Classified message incidents can resultin a total loss of access to the network forall affected Osan users until proper sanitizationactions can be completed, accordingto Mr. Ford."It can also result in the entire base notbeing able to send messages outside ofOsan, and if the CMI is sent to anotherbase, these same actions can affect theirnetwork system, too," Mr. Ford said. "CMIprocedures have been taught to all CSAs,information systems security officers andinformation assurance awareness monitors.CMI procedures have (aired) on theCommander's Access Channel, and havebeen (posted) on the base bulletin."People must understand the seriousnature of CMIs. If classified information isreleased and obtained by the wrong individual,it can result in serious damage tothe U.S. to include loss of life," Mr. Fordsaid. "It's like if someone found foreignobject debris on the flightline; it can resultin the loss of an aircraft."The most challenging aspect of theprogram is accountability, Mr. Ford said.He said individuals have to get used to theidea that they should report the CMI, andnot assume someone else will report it.The 51st CS is responsible for reportingand tracking all CMI to Pacific AirForces Command until all sanitizationmeasures are taken. They are also directlyresponsible for sanitizing all mail serversand the storage area network.For more information, contact SeniorMaster Sgt. Cruz at 784-9006 or Mr. Fordat 784-4691.

NEWSMiG Alley FlyerMarch 17, 20065Yellow dust symptoms can be preventedMarch and April on the KoreanPeninsula mean a break between thewinter-bearing Siberian air mass andthe summer swelter that flows fromSouthern Asia. But, just to keep thingsinteresting, spring in Korea also meansyellow dust storms from the GobiDesert in Northern China, InnerMongolia and Manchuria. These duststorms kick up huge clouds of dust thatcan travel all the way to Korea andJapan.When that happens, the KoreanMeteorological Association's weatherofficials may issue "Asian Dust" or"Yellow Dust" health advisories, usinga yellow-dust warning system. Thelevel of warning depends on how muchdust, measured by the number of dustparticles, is in the air.

BuzanowskiAir Force Print NewsWASHINGTON -- Like MyPay and LeaveWeb before, the AirForce is bringing even more military personnel flight actions online.The process, called personnel services delivery transformation,takes effect March 31, and will encompass even more options thanthose of the Virtual MPF site already on the Internet."We're making it easier and more efficient for people to conducttheir personnel business without having to worry about schedulingappointments or waiting in lines at their local MPF," said TimBeyland, the Air Force manpower and personnel director of plansand integration."People already do their banking online and pay their billsonline, we're just taking the next step by conducting Air Force businessonline," he said.The transformation is a four-phase program, beginning thismonth and continuing through 2011. The first phase begins with theactive-duty force and is further broken up into seven segmentscalled spirals.Spiral 1, which goes into effect at the end of March, will moveseveral personnel transactions Airmen usually visit their MPF for tothe Web and contact center at the Air Force Personnel Center.Additional spirals will make processes available to the remainingtotal force, Mr. Beyland said.Among the initial actions transferred online are forms for evaluationappeals, retirements, retraining, and duty history corrections.To access the new online MPF actions, Airmen just need to log intothe Air Force Portal, and from there head to Virtual MPF, he said.The goal is to move 85 percent of MPF actions online. Once thetransformation begins, however, it doesn't mean Airmen still can'tget personal customer service."There's a contact center Airmen can call 24 hours a day, sevendays a week to get help when they need it," Mr. Beyland said. "PSDalso doesn't mean the Air Force is doing away with MPFs -- Airmencan still get help there too. But it saves the Air Force and its peopletime and money when MPF actions are accessible online."To make the transition easier, personnelists and mission supportsquadron commanders have been sent training programs so they canbetter explain the transformation initiatives to their customers,which include guardsmen, reservists and civilians.TopChargerSenior AirmanRalph M.K.K.

For moreOsan Airmen receive nonjudicial punishment• Fifteen Airmenreceive Articles 15in MarchCompiled from staff reports51st Fighter Wing Judge AdvocateCourts-martial results in twoOsan Airmen convictionsBy Tech. Sgt. Jim Fisher51st Fighter Wing Public AffairsA pair of courts-martial put two Osan Airmen behind barslast week, as charges relating to discussing classified informationand fraud were tried here March 7 and 8.In the first case, Capt. James L. Schank, of the 5thReconnaissance Squadron, pled guilty to disobeying an order,two counts of conduct unbecoming an officer, two counts ofviolating a lawful general regulation and making a false officialstatement. Schank pled guilty March 7 in a General CourtMartial, and under a pre-trial agreement, to divulging classifiedinformation and related offenses from December 2003 throughJune 2004.According to 51st Fighter Wing Staff Judge Advocate officialsand Schank's plea, he providedinformation to a woman asking for classifiedinformation. He also engaged inan improper relationship with thiswoman from the former Soviet Union,who was married to an Army NCO at thetime they met. Failing to report the contactwith her, and another woman whoasked him for similar information, anddisobeying a direct order, ended the officer's18 year career.He was sentenced to 10 months confinementand dismissal from the Air Force. He will serve six ofthe 10 months consistent with the pretrial agreement, accordingto Staff Judge Advocate Lt. Col. Steve Meador."In exchange for the plea agreement, the time in confinementwas reduced," Lt. Col. Meador explained. "But confinement is atemporary segment of a very tough sentence, when you look atwhat he's lost. His career was nearing the stage of retirementeligibility, and now after being incarcerated for six months, hewill leave the Air Force with nothing. He will have to start hislife all over with a felony conviction."Lt. Col. Meador said given the gravity of Osan's mission andvital importance of security, following basic procedures isimperative."There's only one thing to do when you are asked to provideclassified information: report the contact immediately," Lt. Col.“Careers are ending,people are getting lockedup and lives are beingchanged forever.When commanders decide to impose nonjudical punishment,they have a variety of types of punishment fromwhich to choose.For enlisted members, the list includes a reduction inrank, forfeiture of pay, restriction (for example, to the baseor from the clubs), extra duties and a reprimand. At someAir Force bases correctional custody is also an option.Officers could receive forfeiture of pay, arrest in quarters,restriction and/or a reprimand as punishment.While the facts of some offenses appear similar, commanderstake into account the member's duty performance,attitude, potential and disciplinary history such as previouscounselings, reprimands or nonjudicial punishment.These facts assist in determining an appropriate punishment.The following 15 Airmen received Articles 15 inFebruary 2005.• An airman from the 51st Communications Squadronconsumed alcohol while under the age of 21 and made afalse official statement. Punishment was suspended reductionto airman basic, 14 days restriction and a reprimand.• A senior airman from the 51st Logistics ReadinessSquadron assaulted an airman and was drunk and disorderly.Punishment was reduction to the grade of airman firstclass with suspended reduction to airman, suspended forfeitureof $713 pay a month for two months and restrictionto Osan Air Base and from base alcohol establishments for60 days.• A senior airman from the 51st Medical OperationsSquadron failed to go to the appointed place of duty, wasdisrespectful towards a noncommissioned officer and disobeyeda lawful order. Punishment was suspended reductionto airman 1st class and 30 days extra duty.• A senior airman from the 51st Medical Group assaulteda local national and engaged in disorderly conduct.Punishment was suspended reduction to the grade of airman1st class and a reprimand.• A senior airman from the 51st Mission SupportSquadron wrongfully used marijuana. Punishment wasreduction to the grade of airman first class and restrictionto Osan AB and from base alcohol establishments for 30days.• An airman from the 51st Munitions Squadron assaultedan airman. Punishment was reduction to airman basic,suspended forfeiture of $250 pay a month for two monthsand restriction to Osan AB and from base alcohol establishmentsfor 45 days.• An airman from the 51st Security Forces Squadronwas found sleeping while posted as a sentinel. Punishmentwas forfeiture of $250 pay a month for two months, restrictionto Osan AB for 45 days, 45 days extra duty and a reprimand.• An airman from the 51st Services Squadron committedlarceny. Punishment was suspended reduction to airmanbasic, forfeiture of $150 pay a month for two months,restriction to Osan AB for 13 days and 10 days extra duty.Meador said. "He didn't do that and he'll suffer the consequencesof his crime the rest of his life."Master Sgt. Paul Richardson's life will be forever changed aswell, after he pled guilty to one count of larceny and one countof making a false official statement during his General Court-Martial March 8.According to Richardson's plea, he applied for baseallowance for housing in San Francisco, an area where hisdependents did not reside, to capitalize on a much higherallowance rate. He accumulated more than $33,000 in unauthorizedBAH from February through November of 2005.Richardson opted to be tried by a panel of officer members,and was handed a bad conduct discharge, reduction in grade toAirman Basic, and 18 months confinement. At the time thefraud was discovered, the former member of the 607th CombatOperations Squadron at CampHumphreys was eligible for retirement."This was a planned and premeditatedtheft of more than $33,000 dollars oftaxpayers' money," Lt. Col. Meadorsaid. "He stole more than some of ourjunior enlisted members make in anentire year's worth of base pay."Lt. Col. Meador, whose staff hasbeen seeing more BAH fraud investigationsin recent months, said the militarywill continue to investigate and prosecutewhen appropriate until people start getting the message thatthe Air Force is serious about holding thieves accountable."Careers are ending, people are getting locked up and livesare being changed forever," he said. "This is a crime that makesno sense. It has become so easy for us to catch people perpetratingBAH fraud. When things don't look right on paper, asimple phone call to the nearest Office of Special Investigationsdetachment and we've got you. And when you're caught, youwill be faced with possible prosecution, confinement and thenstarting your life over with the disadvantage of a felony conviction."For Richardson who, like Schank, lost untold hundreds ofthousands of dollars in retirement benefits, the $33,000 washardly worth it."The message is clear," Lt. Col. Meador said. "It's not worthit. Don't do it."”Lt. Col. Steve Meador51st Fighter Wing Staff Judge Advocate• A staff sergeant from 51st SVS committed indecentacts with two local nationals. Punishment was forfeiture of$200 pay, restriction to Osan AB and base alcohol establishmentsfor 14 days, 14 days extra duty and a reprimand.• An airman 1st class from the 604th Air SupportOperation Squadron was derelict in his duties by failing tocomplete the required documentation to marry a foreignnational.

MUSTANG LIFEMiG Alley FlyerMarch 17, 20067Mrs. Ha retires after 39 years at OsanBy Tech. Sgt. Jim Fisher51st Fighter Wing Public AffairsFor 39 years, Mrs. Ha, Chong Young, has been reportingfor duty at Osan. Very dedicated to the men and womenworking in Aerospace Ground Equipment, the custodian andcook has put forth an extraordinary attendance record. In allher years at AGE, she's only missed one day of work.Members of the flight have been taking time to learn moreabout the extraordinary career of Mrs. Ha as they prepare tocommemorate her service when she retires at the end ofMarch.A closer look at her service and the woman who renderedit reveals a life of humble gratitude and sacrifice."I am very happy and glad to be working in this place,"Mrs. Ha said through a translator. (Though Mrs. Ha can speakEnglish, a translator was used to conduct an in-depth interview.)"That's why I've worked here for 39 years."In 1967, Mrs. Ha began performing custodial duties at thebase weather squadron to help support her family, whichincluded four small children. Her husband was working in theair cargo terminal at the time. Though their life required a lotof hard work, they had come a long way from the strugglesthey endured living in North Korea's Hwang Hei province. In1950 during the early stages of the Korean War, the 21-yearoldMrs. Ha fled the communist regime with her husband andother family members. Before the 1945 creation of the communiststate and division of Korea at the end of World War II,her husband had been a farmer and landowner. By 1950,North Korean leader Kim, Il Sung, had begun purging largesegments of the population, and Mr. Ha was a likely target."At that time, North Korea was killing everyone who hadowned land and their families," Mrs. Ha said. "That decision[to defect] saved our lives." Only distant relatives stayedbehind, and she has no idea whether they survived, or wherethe next generation is now, she explained.So she entered her time at Osan with a very grateful anddedicated approach. After 15 years, she moved from theweather squadron to the AGE flight, and has worked as anindependent contractor there ever since. Her salary comesfrom the flight members themselves, who take regular collectionsfor her."I have alwaysbeen treated verywell. This has notchanged over theyears - everybody hasbeen very nice, everybodyhas loved meand this is why I haveworked here for solong. This is the reasonI am always joyfuland smiling," Mrs.Ha said.The constant smilemade a big impressionon Master Sgt.Kenneth Jacobs,Combat Age Teamleader for the flight,who has served twotours at Osan.Mrs. Ha, Chong Young,cooks ramen at Building 878.Photo by Tech. Sgt. JimFisher"I've worked with her twice already and it's just a greatexperience working with her. She walks around with a smileon her face all the time," Sergeant Jacobs said. "She's made abig impact on all the military members and civilians hereover the years."Sergeant Jacobs said that Mrs. Ha is well known in theAGE community throughout the Air Force."When you come from Osan, people who have been stationedhere in the past will ask, 'is Mrs. Ha still workingthere?' A lot of people are surprised to find out she is stillworking," Sergeant Jacobs said. Since Sergeant Jacobs andfellow AGE members have posted news of Mrs. Ha's retirementon an unofficial AGE website read by Air Force AGEtroops world-wide, hundreds have visited the pages, heexplained.One of the things many of these people remember aboutMrs. Ha is her ramen noodles, according to Sergeant Jacobs.When she was working at the weather squadron, shift workerswould often get hungry at night and she started bringing inramen to cook for them. The noodles soon became very popularamong Korean employees and American troops as well,and they have been a staple at AGE ever since."Word's gotten out about her noodles," Sergeant Jacobssaid. "She has a special touch. Many of these guys eat themeveryday, and there are other people on base that have heardabout them by word of mouth and stop by to try them.""I am so happy when I see service members and Koreanemployees, when they are hungry at break time, eating well.This makes me very happy to see this kind of scene," Mrs. Hasaid.While she was taking care of the troops in AGE andweather over the decades, she was also meeting the demandsof taking care of her family. Mrs. Ha was widowed just 10years after coming to work at Osan in 1977. She worked hardto continue to raise her family. She has two daughters andtwo sons, and one grandson. One daughter has immigrated tothe U.S., and is living in Maryland with her husband and son.Mrs. Ha will join them on April 8."This was the only day I missed at work, because of goingto the embassy in Seoul to prepare paperwork for immigration,"Mrs. Ha said. "After working with U.S. servicemembersfor 39 years, I do not think I will feel like a stranger inAmerica."Explaining the reason for her dedication and near perfectattendance record, she said she did not want to inconvenienceher coworkers by not being there to clean and cook for them.Good health also made it possible, she explained. For this,along with her other blessings, she is very grateful."That is why I am working everyday. I am very thankfulto everybody here, and I believe in Jesus Christ," she saidwiping away tears. "And Jesus Christ gave me this very niceplace to work and these relationships with the American servicemembersand I am very thankful for this."Editor’s note: The story is also being published in Hangeul for the benefit of interested Korean employees.

Jim Fisher51st Fighter Wing Public AffairsThe Osan Cougars boys and girls soccerteams are into the third week of the 2006 KoreanAmerican Interscholastic Athletic ActivitiesConference season and they are focus on one primarygoal: defending their 2005 Far East Titles.Both squads are coming off of a championshipyear, winning the small school crowns forschools in Japan, Korea and Guam.Boys Coach Tony Alvarado, who's team hasposted a 1-3 record in the season first two weeks,said though his team doesn't have a lot of returningupperclassmen, it still contains a lot of promise."We only have three seniors and one startingsenior with us this year, but we are bringing backa lot of players from last year," Coach Alvaradosaid. "This year's team is a good team. Eventhough it looks on paper like we our rebuilding, Ireally feel like we are reloading."Quality players and quickness are attributesbrought to this year's team by new arrivals,Coach Alvarado explained, with a lot of potentialfor this season and the next. After taking lastyear's team to the title, Coach Alvarado may stillbe better known for bringing Osan's football(American) team the 2005-'06 Far East Title.While the majority of his experience is on thegridiron, his pragmatic approach involves inputfrom the entire squad."I'm fairly new to soccer. What I think I haveis a connection with the kids," Coach Alvaradosaid. "I'm not a know-it-all coach, I'm a playerscoach, and when we get out there, we communicate.If we are trying to run a certain defense, or acertain setup, and it's not working, the kids canalways come and talk to me and say, hey coach,'can we try something else?' We're open to modifyingand molding our game to what is bestfor the team."Girls Coach Sung Plourde will draw onconsiderably more experience as he evaluatesand employees his team's talents in defendingtheir title. He coached either the boys or girlsteams for the last 14 seasons. His team is now3-1."We have a lot of young players right nowand it's too early to say how the team's goingto be," Coach Plourde said. "Since we started[training] in mid-February, the team's come alongpretty good and I think we are going to be competitivein the KAIA."Good leadership from seniors and high teammorale are the strengths so far, according toCoach Plourde. He said they will continue toimprove as they focus on retaining the title."That's our ultimate goal - defending the FarEast title. Right now, we're not at a competitivelevel, but we will get there," Coach Plourde said.Both coaches are excited about playing themajority of their 17 game schedule at home. Theteams play back to back on 12 different dates onCougars’ Kevin Finch (left) and JustinStanley kick off to start a matchagainst Seoul International March 10.the OAHS pitch and are hoping to see a lot ofsupport from the home crowd."You know, these guys are working hard ourhere and it's really nice to get the base's supportwhen they come out," said Coach Alvarado,whose football (American) team enjoyed outstandingsupport in the fall. "It was just outstandingthe way the troops supported the team.
