Happy New Year to the Fort
Drum Community from ACS!
The ACS staff is looking
forward to starting off the New
Year under the leadership and
direction, of new ACS Chief,
Catherine Ferran. Catherine
comes to Fort Drum from Fort
Meade, Maryland where she
was the ACS Director.
While new to Fort Drum,
Catherine is not new to ACS
and Army Family program-
ming. She brings with her 21
years of experience as well as
degrees in Education, Public
Administration and Social
Work.
When Catherine was asked
what her vision was for Fort
Drum’s Army Community
Service, she replied, “to de-
velop a plan to reach out to
more Soldiers and Families
on and off Post.”
Her plan will include identi-
fying at-risk populations,
marketing ACS programs
and services and letting
people know that ACS is
here if they need us for any
reason!
The staff of ACS is looking
forward to helping Catherine
achieve this goal by
continuing to provide
excellence in customer ser-
vices on a daily basis.
It is going to be a great New
Year. We hope to have the
opportunity to see you in
ACS soon.
Army Community Service Has a New Chief !

others to dream more,

What Might Need To Know
from your ACS Unit Service Coordinator (USC)
Army Commu-
nity Service
utilizes a Unit
Service Coordinator (USC) to reach out
to command teams to find out the type
of information and referral needed to
best support their Soldiers and Families.
The USC goes directly to the unit and
completes a desk side needs assessment
to determine unit specific needs.
Recently, our USC Sarah Lynch, visited
with a Battalion and the need for
information on housing and relocation
transportation was the hot topic. Here is
what you might need to know from your
USC.
Many commanders are faced with
questions from their Soldiers and Family
members regarding housing and
transportation under the following
scenarios:
1. ) For Families who chose to leave Fort
Drum to stay with Family during their
Soldier’s deployment and gave up hous-
ing to do so, the Army will not pay to
move the Family back to Fort Drum
upon return of the Soldier. .
2.) If a Soldier PCSs to Fort Drum and
chooses to take housing off post, the
Army will not pay to move the Soldier
and Family back on post when housing
becomes available.
Garrison Policy Letter 11-17 states that
there are no local moves of household
goods unless an exception to policy is
granted based on compelling
circumstances.
For more information regarding moves,
contact the transportation office at
772-6310.
What does this mean to the Soldiers and
Families PCSing to Fort Drum or those
who already have housing? Stay put
during your Soldier’s deployment. It
would be best to not give up your
housing, instead make arrangements with
Mountain Community Homes to retain
your home while you are away.
If you are in need of housing, there are
some resources available to assist you.
Army Community Housing, located in
Room A2-54 Clark Hall, offers an
apartment guide and housing availability
report as well as other housing options.
Their hours are Monday thru Friday from
0730-1600. The apartment guide lists
available rental complexes along with the
corresponding school districts and maps.
The apartment availability report lists
apartment complexes, unit sizes, availabil-
ity, amenities, pet policy and average
rent.
Housing encourages Soldiers and
Families to utilize legal assistance to look
over lease agreements prior to signing
them. ACS recommends their
Financial Readiness Homebuyers Class
for anyone considering purchasing a
home.
The good news is that an additional
166 new 4 and 5 bedroom homes are
being added on post and another
thousand rental units are expected to
be constructed over the next two years.
If you live on post and have questions
concerning housing, contact your local
Community Centers at:
Adirondack Creek 955-6640
Crescent Woods 955-6641
Monument Ridge 955-6642
Rhicard Hills 955-6643

Regarding Resiliency: Tips, tools and techniques for practicing
resiliency everyday!
By Jenn Eichner, MRT 772-2848
Upcoming Master Resiliency Classes
Hello, hope this new month finds
you positively thinking! Did any of
you recognize an Activating Event?
Did you have a moment when you
thought: What was that reaction all
about? It happens to us all – every-
day adversity is alive and well, but it
does not have turn into unproductive
thinking and reacting!
All to often the reasons why we react
in a puzzling way to an Activating
Event are not immediately clear.
This is largely due to the fact that we
all tend to think in the same manner
day in and day out, so we rarely think
about how we think.
Could you be stuck in a Thinking
Trap? Thinking Traps are overly
rigid patterns in thinking that can
cause us to miss critical information
about a situation or individual.
Let’s take a look at some of the most
common traps:
Jumping to Conclusions -Believing
one is certain about a situation
despite having little or no evidence to
support it.
Mind Reading - Assuming that you
know what another person is
thinking, or expecting another person to
know what you are thinking
Me, Me, Me - Believing that you are the
sole cause of every problem you
encounter
Them, Them, Them - Believing that
other people or circumstances are the
sole cause of every problem you
encounter
Always, Always, Always - Believing
that negative events are unchangeable
and that you have little or no control
over them
Everything, Everything, Everything-
Believing that you can judge a person’s
or your own worth, motivation, or
ability on the basis of a single situation
(character assassination)
Does your thinking typically tend to fall
into any of these traps? If you answered
yes, you may need to develop some
mental agility and work your way out of
the trap. For each trap there is a
critical question that you can ask
yourself to free your thinking:
Jumping to Conclusions: What is the
evidence for and against my thoughts?
Mind Reading: Speak up: Did I
Identify and Avoid Thinking Traps

express myself? Did I ask for
information?
Me, Me, Me: Look outward: How
did others and/or circumstances
contribute?
Them, Them, Them: How did I
contribute?
Always, Always, Always: Grab
control: What’s changeable? What can I
control?
Everything, Everything, Every-
thing: Look at behavior: What is the
specific behavior that explains the
situation?
Thinking Traps are common. And it is common to fall into a Thinking Trap, particularly when stressed. But they tend to be counterproductive as they narrow our field of vision and lead us to miss important information. Take some time and work on noticing the patterns that you tend to fall into. Then use the critical questions to help broaden your awareness of important information. This practice will help you build your mental agility and become able to pull yourself out of counterproductive thought. Good luck and good thoughts!

Before coming to Fort
Drum, Carolina owned a
business called Coverall,
which is a cleaning fran-
chise . Carolina, plans to es-
tablish her business here in
the North Country.
Right now, Carolina plans to
volunteer for ACS while she
waits her husband’s return
from Afghanistan.
If you see Carolina and her
Family, please welcome her

April is a go getter. Three days
after arriving, she had a job
with Thistle Head Salon in Wa-
tertown. For nearly five years
April has had a successful cos-
metology career.
April and her husband are ex-
cited to be at Fort Drum as she
is from Maine and Ryan is origi-
nally from Idaho. The snow
does not scare them, in fact
they are looking forward to the
winter season and the hunting
seasons to come.
April is currently pursuing a
degree in business while Ryan is
working on his Master’s of
Business Administration in
Aviation.
April LaPlant– Spouse in the Spotlight
This month’s Spouse in the spotlight is April
LaPlant. April and her family arrived at Fort
Drum on November 3 from Fort Polk.
April’s husband Ryan is a helicopter pilot with
Task Force Phoenix 3-10. They have three
children. Two sons, Tristan age 7, Micah age 2
and one
daughter

old.
April is no
novice to
Military life,
in fact she
was an active
duty Air
Carolina loves
Christmas and is quite a
talented for decorator.
Carolina and her
husband Hugo have
been at Fort Drum since
last November. The
Martinez Family came
from Kissimmee,
Florida where Hugo
was previously stationed
with the Navy for six
years. Fort Drum is
their first Army duty
station. Hugo is now a
welder for 710 BSB.
Carolina and Hugo have
three beautiful children:

Relocation is one of the most stressful aspects of military life. As warm as the people of Fort Drum and the North Country are, the negative perception of cold and snow can be difficult for a Soldier and the Family to overcome.
There is an easy way to conquer this pessimistic view: Sponsorship. When done right, this one initiative can have a tremendously positive impact on the attitude of Soldiers, Family members and Civilian employees.
The Total Army Sponsorship Program offers the opportunity for the gaining unit or directorate assigned sponsor, to demonstrate their concern for the
welfare of arriving Families. The sponsor begins to build a relationship with their incoming, Soldier, Family or civilian em-ployee before their arrival. This relation-ship, eases the anxiety of leaving what is familiar to someplace unknown.
First impressions are lasting ones. By fostering a sense of belonging and caring, a sponsor can help to create a positive experience and improve teamwork within units and organizations. The gaining installation reaps the benefits of having a good sponsorship program. Because the Soldier or Civilian Employee gets settled in more quickly, he or she is able to concentrate on their new duties more quickly. Sponsorship further enhances
retention by positively effecting how Soldiers, Families members and Civilians view their gaining organization and the Army as a whole.
Being a good sponsor doesn’t have to be hard! The Relocation Readiness Program at Army Community Service is here to help. Make the difference for an arriving Soldier or civilian: be a sponsor! For more information on Sponsorship Training call 772-6566.

The Major Group has partnered with
Florida Gulf Coast University,
Mississippi State University and
Lamar Institute of Technology to
offer the ultimate package of virtual,
portable, self-paced certification
programs for Military Spouses. The
courses are all MyCAA Approved
and qualify for 100% tuition coverage
for eligible Spouses. The cost of the
certification exams is included and the
schools have created a loaner system
for books. Are you interested in
obtaining online career training?
The Major Group is largely comprised
of Military Spouses, both active and
retired, who understand the demands
and benefits of the Military lifestyle,
and have combined them to create the
ultimate job training packages for My-
CAA eligible Spouses. Each program
is priced at or below the $4,000.00
MyCAA cap and the schools have
agreed to include the cost of the
certification exam so each student
truly has the ability to prepare for
entering the workforce. All of these
unique courses are online, self-paced,
flexible and portable to suit the needs
of the Military Spouses as they
support their service member.
Eligible Spouses may choose from
over 20 career fields available
through The Major Group. The
current career programs are
focused primarily in Healthcare,
Business Administration, and
Paralegal, although new courses are
being added based on the demand
of interested students. Students
enrolling through The Major Group
have access to their online courses
24x7 and are provided with access
to subject matter experts,
technological support, and a Career
Development Specialist to help
them along the way. No virtual
student will feel alone in their
courses while completing their
schooling.
Career programs can be completed
in 3-12 months from home allowing
you to set your own learning
schedule and pace depending on
your specific needs and career goals
and provide the necessary skills to
earn nationally recognized
certification, in high-demand areas.
Enrollment is easily completed
online and everything you’ll need to
be successful will be shipped to
your home. Upon completion of
the program, each student will take
a final exam to determine their
preparedness to sit for the national
certification exam. Student Services
will help arrange the certification
exams and provide study materials
to ensure that the student
approaches their exam with
confidence and the necessary
qualifications to be successful.
Many educated, experienced
Military Spouses have experienced
great difficulty in obtaining
rewarding careers because of continued
PCS moves. In the past, employers have
often been reluctant to hire Military
Spouses, regardless of their qualifications
simply because of their inability to fulfill
the position for more than a few years.
Recent awareness from the White House
and other Military Spouse support
networks have helped to create a
nationwide awareness of this issue and
employers are pledging their commitment
to Military Spouses. The Major Group has
carefully selected career fields with
promising projected growth and demand to
assist the Military Spouse in fulfilling career
goals.
MyCAA is a Department of Defense
initiative aimed at assisting Military Spouses
in obtaining portable career training. The
assistance comes in the form of a $4000.00
grant available to Souses of active service
members in the ranks E1-E5, O1-O2, and
W1-W2 as well as the Guard and Reserve
components in those ranks while the
service member is on Title 10 orders.
If you are interested in enrolling you may
contact Tasha Hollingsworth, your local
Career Development Specialist, at
727.365.6678 or
Tasha is a fellow Military Spouse who is
here to help you succeed. Detailed course

Alumni Program (ACAP)
Career Fair is fast approaching.
Taking steps to prepare before
attending a career fair makes a
big difference on whether
landing a job is a feasible
outcome after the event is over.
In preparation for the event,
determined job seekers research
the companies on the list to
attend, look over their resume
and make copies to hand out to
the recruiters. However, one big
step in preparation that is to
often ignored is choosing the
right clothing for the career fair.
First impressions are lasting
impressions; make sure you dress
for success!
Wear a confidence building
outfit, try it on a few days
before the interview, and make
sure it is clean, ironed and fits
well.
Insure your nails and hair are
well groomed; skip the cologne
or perfumes, less is more.
Wear minimal jewelry and
makeup. Carry a nice briefcase,
portfolio or bag with you for
your resumes and any informa-
tion you will be collecting from
the representatives. But do
not carry too much again less
is more.
Here are a few examples of
appropriate attire for attending
a career fair.
Tips for Men:
Tailored navy, gray or beige
suite
White or light shirt
Natural, wrinkle-resistant
fabrics
Dress shoes with over-the-
calf dark socks
Conservative tie with low-
key colors/patterns
Tips for Women:
A simple, tailored suite,
dress or dress/jacket com-
bination
Natural wrinkle-resistant
fabrics
Wear Conservative colors
30 Second Commercial—Make the Right Impression
What do you do when you are asked
what you do for a living? Do you
panic and string a few sentences
together and hope they make sense?
Do you walk away, shake your head
and feel like you blew it?
We have all at one time in our lives
been at a loss for words. Believe it or
not, most people feel uncomfortable
talking about themselves. Unfortu-
nately, thirty seconds is about how
long we get to make a first impression.
In the job market, when we fumble
that opportunity, it may cost us the
job, the promotion or valuable busi-
ness connection.
The thirty second commercial,
sometimes referred to as an elevator
speech, is a planned, rehearsed tool to
prepare you for the thirty seconds
your stuck on the elevator with your
boss or your response when the
recruiter at the job fair asks you about
yourself.
A well planned commercial will sell you,
the product, effortlessly and prevent
awkward, embarrassing attempts at
finding the right words when put on the
spot.
Use this simple exercise to prepare your
commercial:
1. With a notebook and pen write down
what you do. Really dig for details.
2. Describe you talents. You want your
listeners to understand who you work
with. You want them to understand
how they can benefit from your
talents
3. Create your hook. Your hook is the
first thing you say. It is what makes
you memorable. Be interesting,
consider asking a question about your
field as a hook
4. List the projects you have done and
the results they produced. If you
implemented a procedure that saved
money, use that detail
Here is an example:
Did you know that small business who
utilize social networking can expect an
increase in profit with very little
capital investment? I help business
owners create effortless marketing
that maximizes their income and
increases their sales through utilizing
social networking. My clients learn
how to draw new business to them by
optimizing their websites, and increas-
ing their search engine optimization
resulting in first page ranking on
popular search engines like Google
and Yahoo.
5. Practice, practice, practice until you
can recite it without it sounding
memorized
After successfully using your thirty
second commercial remember to
follow up with your contacts within
twenty-four hours to solidify their
positive impression of you.
Use makeup sparingly
Low-heeled pumps
Always put your best
look forward when
attending a job fair!

How About a Financial Resolution This New Year?
The New Year is a time of reflection
on the past year as well as a time to
make resolutions to improve ourselves
for the year to come. For many, these
resolutions will be health based,
whether it is exercising more to trim
the waistline or kicking a bad habit.
Why not make 2012 the year to get fi-
nancially healthy and to improve your
financial waistline and save more
money?
Some easy financial resolutions are:
1.Save more and Spend Less. Set a goal
and feed savings each month. This can
be done through an automatic deposit
or transfer. Limit mindless spending.
2. Make a monthly budget. Imple-
menting a monthly budget will allow
for a black and white snapshot of what
is actually being spent throughout the
month and can be an eye opener as to
where a household’s money is actually
going.
3. Pay off debt. Start with the smallest
debt and once paid off, snowball that
monthly payment into the next debt
and continue with process until all
debt is gone. Think of the satisfac-
tion of watching the debt melt
away.
4. Order your free credit reports.
This is an easy resolution and can
be completed through
www.annualcreditreport.com.
Order one credit report from a
different credit reporting agency
every 4 months.
Whatever the financial resolution
may be, make sure it is clear and
concise and has a specific goal.
Setting a goal not only gives you
something to work toward, but
rewards you with a feeling of
accomplishment and satisfaction
when the goal is attained.
This year, make a resolution to
your financial health with help
from the Financial Readiness
Program at ACS!

What's YOUR New Year’s Resolution? How about Volunteering with Army Family Team Building (AFTB)
Happy New Year all
My name is Kim
Hill and I am the
new AFTB Program
Support Assistant.
I am getting settled
and looking forward
to working with our
wonderful AFTB
Volunteers and to
recruiting a few
more of you! I
want to suggest that
maybe AFTB could
be part of your New Year resolutions. Here’s
how…
We all have different goals and many of us
use the New Year as a time to set them and
kick them off.

better understand of his everyday work life.
If so, Army Family Team Building can help
you achieve that goal.

give you a better understanding of the
Army and help you communicate with
your Soldier.
Maybe you want to work on personal
growth or leadership skills? Start 2012 off
right with our Level II training that is
designed to develop your communication

self development classes to beef up your
resume or plan to be more involved with
your Family Readiness Group or even
become an FRG Leader. Our Level III
training curriculum focuses on
communication skills for leaders,
meeting management, and coaching and
mentoring.
If you really want to start the year off
right become a Volunteer Instructor for
AFTB by taking the Instructor Training
along with Levels I, II and III.
Whatever your personal resolution may
be, we will help you decipher all the
information so you can make use of all
the resources available to you

Army Family Team Building is a
great way to meet new people
and learn about what’s going on
in the Fort Drum community.
In addition, Soldiers did you
know in taking our AFTB classes
you can earn promotion points?
Our classes can be taken in any
order so take a look at your
schedule and determine which
class will fit for you.
Come join us for a day of
empowerment and kick the new
