WHO WE ARE

I would like to begin this issue by saying thank you to all that par ticipated in our last Town Hall Meeting. Colonel Boucher passed on some very notewor thy information on DPRI and the transition of VMGR-152/CAG-5 to Iwakuni. The Colonel also discussed some of the issues that we are dealing with here at MCCS, including the possible requirement to star t charging for swimming and the Recreational Locker. MCCS is holding of f as long as possible on charging for these activities until directed by higher authority. Information was also passed on this year’s Friendship Day; which is a go, fireworks on the four th of July; to be determined by the community and opening the harbor for fishing activities; hopefully soon. I hope that many of you reading this make it a point to come to the next Town Hall; there were many good suggestions made at this meeting that will benefit the community as a whole.

In this issue of the Preview we celebrate Women’s History Month to recognize the many contributions women have made to our nation and the armed services. From establishment of the Nurse Corps in 1908 to the accomplishment of service members of all ranks today, women play an integral par t of our military’s success. In addition to Women’s History month, our nation celebrates “Read Across America Day.”

The National Education Association (NEA) was instrumental in establishing Read Across America Day. The NEA represents about 3.2 million elementary and secondary teachers, higher education faculty, education suppor t professionals, school administrators, retired educators and students preparing to become teachers. The organization provides resources and activities for educators, parents, and children. NEA chose March 2 as Read Across America day to align with the bir thday of the well-known children’s author, Dr. Seuss. MCCS is recognizing this day and celebrating the bir thday of the beloved Dr. Suess by formatting the March Preview in true “Dr. Suess style.”

The Grand Ballroom at Club Iwakuni (253-3363) will be busy in March. The Seabee Ball will be held on March 7 and the “Red/ White Wine & Food Festival,” is scheduled for March 15. Come out and enjoy great conversation and great food paired with your favorite variety of wine. Also for those of you that have never had the oppor tunity to learn the proper rules of formal dining, please join us on March 21 for the Marine Corps Family Team Building (253-3754) event, “Dine like a Diplomat.” This event sells out quickly every year and is alot of fun so grab your tickets early. Finally, discover ways to work of f the calories from your month of dining at Health Promotions (253-6359) Health and Fitness Expo. The expo is March 22 at IronWorks gym. Check out our calendar of events, travel pages and ar ticle submissions from our community; there is something for everyone in this month’s Preview.

ROAD TAX

SEASONBy Barry Harwell

Pass & Registration 253-3135

BEGINNING APRIL 1, 2014 THE JAPANESE ANNUAL ROAD TAX SEASON WILL STARTThis is when all vehicle owners must pay their respective vehicles taxes. While this point is important, it is imperative that you know your vehicle must be registered to this base and prefecture or adjacent prefecture by April 1, 2014. This simply means that if you were previously registered in Okinawa and you transferred to MCAS Iwakuni with a vehicle and never registered at Pass and Registration building 608, prior to April 1, 2014 you will be responsible for paying your taxes in Okinawa or another bases prefecture.

Signs will be posted at key locations throughout the base to remind you to pay your road tax. Prices may differ slightly from previous year but shouldn’t vary much from last year’s payment. If you are unsure of the previous amount paid please look at the documents used for vehicle registration, you should have the following: Title, Japanese Compulsory Insurance, Recycling Fee receipt (motorcycles will not have one), secondary car insurance and the Road Tax receipt which is usually a little white piece of paper about the size of a credit card that states “Automobile Tax Stamp” across the middle. These are the primary documents you will need when you go to Pass and Registration to validate payment and registration, along with the vehicle being registered. IF YOU HAVE LOST ANY OF THESE DOCUMENTS PLEASE GO TO PASS AND REGISTRATION AND RECEIVE THE PROPER DOCUMENTS TO RECOVER SAID FORMS.

Look forward to next month’s article on this event for times and payment amounts. If you have any questions please contact Barry Harwell, Pass and Registration Supervisor at 253-3135.

YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PAY YOUR ROAD TAX AT:

MCCS AUTO SKILLS CENTER PMO (DURING SPECIFIED TIMES, TBA)

IWAKUNI CITY HALL

AUTO SKILLS CENTER APRIL 1-30, TUESDAY - FRIDAY, NOON - 6 PM The tax is required by Japanese law, so pay your Road Tax right on base (Yamaguchi Prefecture plates only). Cost is $5 per vehicle plus required tax, call 253-5325 for fee structure.

A TOAST TO TASTY, HEALTHIER DRINKS!by Kirsten Diller, Substance Abuse Clinical Program Manager

COMMUNITY ARTICLE

Well, we’re a couple of months into 2014 and I’m sure

many of us still have healthy diet goals, right? And this

is Iwakuni, so of course a lot of folks are pregnant and

alcohol simply isn’t an option. So, here’s one way you

can still have a fun, delicious, and complex drink, but

SKIP the empty calories in alcohol!

The following mocktails range in difficulty and prep time

and all of the ingredients are available locally. Get ready

to impress your “pregger” friends at their baby shower,

host a Pampered Chef party, or simply look cool holding

one of these tasty and beautiful mocktails! ENJOY!

Oh,theYou'llPlaces Go!

Prayer wheels at the Daisho-in Temple

As the weather starts to warm up a bit, it’s time to start

planning some outdoor adventures. Luckily, living in

Iwakuni means lots of wonderful places to explore! 19M C C S I WA K U N I . C O M | M A R C H 2 0 1 4

If you are into hiking, here are three places that are

definitely worth checking out. Three Peaks (Mikura

Dake) is probably the closest of the ones I am going

to mention. It is considered to be easy, but that de-

pends on which trail and who you talk to. The first

time I hiked Three Peaks it was a little more difficult

that I thought it would be, but I made it up to the

top. It was a beautiful hike and the view from the

top is worth the hike. They also have camp grounds

here if you want to camp out and hike up to see the

sunrise. Seven Falls (Jyakuchikyo) is a little further

away, but it is also quite beautiful . Although it’s not

a difficult hike, there are lots of steps in the begin-

ning and it can be a very long hike. Seven Falls also

has camp grounds and cottages you can rent. The

last one and my absolute favorite is Sandankyo. It’s

a bit of a drive to get to, but it is so worth it. I also

think that this is the easiest hikes of the three. My

favorite time to hike Sandankyo is in the fall, but it

is nice during the summer too. Actually, all three of

these places are really pretty in the fall so I recom-

mend going in the different seasons to see which

you like the best.

If you want a great souvenir of your time here in Japan, purchase a Japanese Temple Stamp book (Go-Shuin-chou). Not only is it a beautiful way to document the temples and shrines you’ve visited here, it also becomes a challenge almost to see how quickly you can fill it up. My friend told me about it and I was hooked right away. Now I carry my stamp book in my purse and I get all giddy when I visit a new temple or shrine because it means I will get another stamp in my book! This also means I have to go back to some temples and shrines I had visited prior to purchasing my stamp

book, but I am totally okay with that.

My Stamp Book

Travel Tip:

I’m a military brat, half-Japanese and half-American, who proudly calls Iwakuni home. I love food, photography, and travel.

I started the Iwakuni Foodie blog and Iwakuni Foodie Facebook page to document my adventures to local restaurants, and

hopefully make it easier for Americans to get out and explore Japan! -The Iwakuni Foodie

For those of you who are looking for the more touristy type things to do, like visit

temples and shrines, Yamaguchi City has a beautiful five-storied pagoda on the

grounds of the Rurikoji Temple. It is truly breathtaking and there are some nice

walking paths around the temple that are worth checking out. If you go on the

first Sunday of the month, there is a really cool flea market at Kameyama Park

that you could check out before heading to the pagoda. The flea market starts

at sunrise, but I am not that ambitious so I usually get there at around 10 AM. I

have still managed to find a few things I could not live without so I don’t think

you have to be there at sunrise, but if you’re an early riser anyway then go for it.

I know sightseeing and traveling around

can be a little bit of a challenge when

you have small children, but it isn’t

impossible. Tsuwano is a cute little

castle town that is located about 3.5

hours from here by car. When driving in it

really doesn’t look like much, but there is a lot to see here. Children

love it because the waterway running through part of the town

is full of koi fish. You can buy fish food and feed the fish as you

walk down the street. You can also take a lift up to the castle

ruins and walk around, or walk through a thousand torii gates to

see the Inari Shrine and enjoy the gorgeous view. If your children

are too small to walk up the hundreds of steps to the Inari Shrine,

there is a way to drive up to it also. If you are looking for a place

where the whole family can play, then check out Hachigamine

Park. There are quite a few activities to keep your children busy

for a few hours. They have a huge roller slide, a nice playground, an

obstacle course, a ferris wheel, and more! The obstacle course is a

lot of fun to do as a family. Pack a picnic lunch and make a day of it

as there are plenty of places to sit down and enjoy a meal or a snack.

FUEL FOR PERFORMANCEby Tiffany Cunin, CSCS, PES, FMSC

SEMPER FIT

EAT CLEAN: Choose foods that are least processed and are closest to their original form, whether it is from the earth or the animal. Simply put, try to eat foods in the most natural form possible. The more a food is processed, the fewer nutrients it is likely to have. Nutrient density is the relationship of the amount of nutrients a food has compared to the amount of calories. To ensure you get the nutrients you need, try to choose foods that have the highest amount of nutrients for the calories within the foods. Eat a rainbow of foods every day!

EAT OFTEN: Eating mini-meals every 2-3 hours gives your body a steady flow of fuel. This steady flow of fuel is the key to energy and sustainability. Eating often keeps the metabolism roaring all day and will help to maintain blood glucose (fuel) in an optimal range. Eat breakfast within 30-minutes of waking and graze through the day to keep your fuel levels topped off. Those who eat more frequently have more energy, more focus, and less chance of becoming overly hungry, which can help us make better choices.

HYDRATE: The body is 60-65% water. Water performs numerous vital functions such as providing life and shape to every cell, brain function, temperature regulation, fuel delivery to muscles, aides in digestion and metabolism, shock absorption around joints, the spine and the brain, and aiding in muscle contraction and tone. Try to drink at least half your bodyweight in ounces of water daily. For example, a person weighing 120 pounds should aim to drink at least 60-120 ounces of water a day. As little as a 2% decrease in weight, due to fluid loss, may impair both physical and mental performance.

RECOVER: Proper nutrition is necessary to expedite the recovery process. Following a workout your body has reduced both its circulating (blood glucose) and stored fuel (glycogen) sources. To reap the benefits of your workout and to perform at high levels, you will need to replace your fuel stores as soon as you can after training. A 2 to 1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein within 30-minutes of your workout will aide in recovery and decrease your risk for injury.

NUTRIENT TIMING: Carbohydrate, protein, and fat are macronutrients needed for survival. It is important NOT to eliminate any one of these from your diet. During exercise, carbohydrate is the predominant fuel source followed by fat, and protein is very rarely used as a fuel source. Below are some simple guidelines on how to fuel your body before, during, and after training.

BEFORE: Do not go into your workout on an empty stomach; fuel your body with a small balanced snack consisting of fluid, carbohydrate, and a small amount of protein 1-2 hours prior to training. Going into a workout properly fueled will improve performance and recovery times. Some great pre-workout snacks include yogurt with berries and cereal or one-half of a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Don’t forget 16-20oz of water too!

DURING: Stay hydrated during exercise. Weighing yourself before and after training is a great way to monitor your hydration levels. Fat will not burn off in an hour of training; the instant weight loss you may see following a training session is due to fluid loss. Drink 20-24oz of fluid for each pound lost during training. AFTER: The optimal window for re-fueling is 10-30 minutes after training. It is important to refuel properly. The chart below provides some basic guidelines for optimal re-fueling.*

Some great re-fueling foods are 20oz low-fat chocolate milk plus a banana, turkey and pasta salad, fruit smoothie blended with yogurt or whey protein, or 2 scrambled eggs on whole wheat toast plus 6oz of fruit juice. The possibilities are endless!

If you want to achieve optimal performance, fuel your body like the well-oiled machine it is! Don’t skip meals, always stay hydrated, and improve your nutrient timing. For a more in depth look at fueling for performance, contact Health Promotions at 253-6359.

Whether you are training for a marathon, a powerlift meet, or staying fit to fight, optimal human performance is achieved through proper fueling. There are five easy steps to fueling your body for performance:

Green Eggs and HamOh, dear Green Eggs and Ham, you were

such a childhood classic book. You taught me

that I should always try new foods because,

who knows, I may very well end up liking

them. I bet most of you wouldn’t think that

learning etiquette skills would be something

you would like or applicable to you. Well,

let me tell you this, I’m sure all of us were

taught what constituted as good manners by

our parents. Maybe even now, we are parents

and are teaching that very same topic to our

children. Think about it this way, just because

we learned those types of skills growing up

doesn’t mean as adults we are completely out

of the manner learning profession. Dorothea

Johnson, Founder of Protocol School of

Washington, stresses the importance of

protocol/etiquette in today’s workforce,

“the fierce competition in the business arena

has simply made etiquette another tool to

provide a competitive edge” (Johnson, 2009,

p. 2). Don’t you want that valuable “edge”

as a potential employee or businessman/

woman? Do you handle yourself skillfully

in social settings? In today’s economy, it’s

possessing those social prerequisites that

make you stand out against the competition.

Luckily, you don’t have to attend an expensive

conference or lengthy seminar to learn this

code of “international politeness” (Johnson,

2009, p. 2).

Here at MCAS Iwakuni, MCFTB facilitates

Dine Like a Diplomat annually where Station

Protocol Officer, Dave Garber, presents

topics of business and dining etiquette such

as extending and accepting an invitation,

seating guidelines, toasting rules, styles of

eating (American vs Continental), silverware

savvy and a host of other topics. Mr. Garber

possesses over 20 years of experience in

the Protocol field and has attended premier

training events in this area.

Participants will arrive at Landing Zone

where they will first learn all about upgrading

their professional skil l set to remain

competitive in the business arena. After

gaining confidence in the material, attendees

will move upstairs to the Eagles Nest where

they can immediately implement their newly

developed talents while enjoying a custom 6

course menu. Here is a quick tip guide and

some of the topics you will be learning about

as you invest “in your most valuable asset-

yourself” (Johnson, 2009, p. 2).

• Know the restaurant you are using and pick your table.

• Pay the bill in advance.

• Allow your guest to order first.

Host Duties

• There are two traditional toasts given by the host: a welcome toast (before eating) and a toast to the guest of honor (dessert course).

Toasting

• Sit straight, but not stiffly, against the back of the chair and rest both feet flat on the floor.

Posture at the Table

• Bacon is eaten with a knife and fork. Only very crisp bacon may be eaten with the fingers.

Eating Various Foods

• To seat yourself, approach the right side of the chair and enter it from your left side. When the meal is over, push your chair back from the table, rise and exit from the right side and push your chair under the table.

• At business meals, a woman never expects a man to seat her. She seats herself. However, if a man offers to seat her she accepts with a gracious “thank you.”

OF

P&PD ARTICLE

The ABC's of ResumesA -Accomplishments. Listing your duties

gives no indication of how well you did

your job. Your professional experience

should be described using accomplishment

statements.

B - Balance. The document should be

visually appealing, allowing the most

important details to immediately stand

out. This means white space, a fairly equal

amount of bullets for all jobs, and easily

distinguishable sections and job titles.

C - Combination. This widely used

résumé format showcases a progression

of skills and responsibility. Chronological -

This format is very traditional, emphasizing

professional career growth over time.

D - Demographics. Make sure all contact

information listed is current. Employers

will utilize the phone number and/or email

address listed to set up the interview. A

professional email address is a must. I

recommend one to be specifically utilized

for the job search.

E - Education. This section can be first if

the requirement is heavily emphasized

in the announcement and later in the

document if it is not as emphasized.

F - Functional. This type of résumé can

disguise gaps in employment history by

emphasizing relevant skills. Come see us in

Career Resources for guidance.

G - Generalit ies. Avoid words l ike

"various", "numerous", and "multiple".

See “Q” for more explanation.

H - Highlights. Think of an ESPN highlight

reel. Your document is your professional

highlight reel and should make a strong

impression in mere seconds.

I - Interview. This is the goal of the

résumé. Let Career Resources teach you

how to answer each interview question

appropriately.

J - Jargon. Subject matter experts are not

always the first to read a résumé. Be mindful

of terminology and acronyms that others

might not understand.

K - Knowledge. Arming yourself with

company knowledge prior to submission

makes your résumé even stronger and

prepares you for the impromptu interview;

it does happen.

L - Length. There is no ideal. Most civilian

employers expect one or two pages

but federal or specialized résumés may be

longer.

M

- Margins. All ONE inch.

N - Never submit an unprotected

document. PDF documents have less

risk of format loss in transmission.

O - Objective Statement. Is a screening

tool to ensure you are applying for the

job the reader is looking to fill; especially

useful if your document is posted to a job

board with multiple listings. Keep it short

and specific.

P - Pertinent. If you are on the fence about

adding a job or specific responsibility,

ask yourself whether or not it is pertinent to

the desired job. If the answer is no, you have

managed to save yourself some space.

Q - Quantify. Make your bullets as

quantifiable as possible for impact.

This is a double edged sword since you want

to highlight only the highs and not areas in

which you might be lacking. For example,

simply telling the reader you allocated funds

could mean millions or hundreds of dollars.

Thousands? Millions? Quarterly? Annually?

Leave no room for guessing.

R - References. “References available upon

request” wastes space. If they require

them, they will ask. Keep a references page

on file ready to submit when requested with

header formatting similar to your résumé.

S - Salary. You should be aware of what

the job offers in your area and what

you are willing to/can accept before you

submit your résumé. Not sure how much

you need? Come see Kieu Garcia, Personal

Financial Management Program Manager

for assistance.

T - Tailored. There is not one résumé

that you can provide that is universally

suitable. Take the time to tailor your

document to the job announcement.

U - Underline. You can use bold or

underline to make sections obvious,

being mindful that if everything is

highlighted, nothing stands out.

V - Volunteer experience can be listed just

like any job if it is pertinent to the desired

position.

W - Work. A quality résumé takes a lot of

this. Give yourself ample time.

X - Xerox. How does your résumé look

printed? Is it visually appealing? Print

it out before you submit!

Y - Your picture should never make an

appearance on your résumé. The end.

Z - Zero. The number of typos and

misspelled words on your résumé.

Don't Forget!

love and affection to the ones that matter the most.

However, to teenagers, it's just another day of the week.

But this year, Valentine's Day was fun, all around.

The Youth & Teen Center sponsored a Red & White

dance. The dance was open to all youth and teens

from Iwakuni, as well as visiting teenagers from

Korea, Guam, other Japan bases and Okinawa.

Mr. Clark invited several dozens of drama

students from other DODDS Pacific schools from

Yokosuka, Zama, Misawa, Yokota (Japan) Osan,

Humphreys, Daegu (Korea) Kubasaki, Kadena

(Okinawa) and Guam High (Guam). The party was a

success and such a fun experience.
