SMDC’s Dorsey allies with Kwaj

By Jim BennettEditor

Kwajalein has a new friend.Lt. Col. (promotable) Rick Dorsey,

deputy chief of staff operations atthe U.S. Army Space and MissileDefense Command, visited last week.

�I needed to come here to get a fullappreciation of what goes on outhere,� Dorsey said. �I have now expe-rienced it, rather than heard about itin e-mails. You�ll always have an allyin Huntsville.�

Dorsey, who also serves as forceprotection officer for the command,took over the staff job 3½ months ago

(See CATV, page 3)

and came to Kwajalein as one ofseveral people visiting for an anti-terrorism assessment.

�The range is not a Bosnia,� Dorseysaid. �You don�t have security issuespeak everyday. It�s in the intel brief-ings and such.�

As deputy chief of staff for opera-tions and force protection officer,Dorsey helps coordinate efforts be-tween the range and the Departmentof the Army, Pacific and Pacific Com-mand.

�My coming here does not preventthe great folks of Kwajalein from co-ordinating directly with DoA, Pacificor PACOM,� he said. �We�re here tosupport Kwajalein.�

By Barbara Johnsonand KW HillisFeature Writers

The community said yes, they arewilling to pay, and USAKA/KMR ismoving ahead on plans to cable theisland for TV and radio.

�It appears that there is pretty wide-spread support at the communitylevel [for CATV],� said Lt. Col. SteveMorris, USAKA/KMR operations as-sistant chief of staff. �When he sawthe results, the commander said, �Ok,we know what we want, go back andsee if we can make it happen.��

Last month, residents of Kwaj andRoi responded to surveys asking ifthey would pay for CATV and up-graded Internet service. Altogether,453 residents replied, and, overall,71 percent said they would pay anaverage of $21.04 a month for CATV.

�[That average number] is what wewill use to figure the revenue to offsetthe operating costs,� Morris said.

Positive responses were lower forInternet upgrades, with 43 percentoverall saying they would pay for56KBS Internet, and 47 percent for128KBS Internet. They would spendan average of $17.42 and $22.96,respectively, for the two high-speed

Internet options.�The interesting thing was that

people were mostly happy with the[Internet] service they get for freenow,� Morris said, adding that al-though upgrading the Internet may

not be done now, upgrading may takeplace in the future if more residentswant it.

When and if the island gets cableupgrades depends on results of a

Community calendarpublished monthlyFrom Staff Reports

As of Oct. 27, it has been 90 days formy short tenure as commander, andI continue to be impressed by thecaliber and quality of both peopleand the community.

I appreciate the warm welcome mywife and I have received. I especiallyenjoy meeting and talking to many ofyou. Generally, there are three ques-tions most often asked, and I willshare them with you.

First, �How do you like Kwajalein?�Well, generally five days a week I feelas though I should return a portion ofmy pay. I can�t believe the Army paysme to do this job! The job offers a newchallenge every day. This is such adiverse operation. Also, the enter-tainment options are endless. But,there are those other two days when

it is sheer frustration.There isn�t enough money. I�ve got

too much direction from higher head-quarters and there are three com-peting events scheduled simulta-neously. On these days I stroll to thewindow, look out at the ocean andweigh the question � the Pentagonor Kwajalein? Instantly I�m remindedthat I�ve got it good.

The second most asked question is�How does your wife like Kwajaelin?�Well, just being with me makes lifegrand for Sheila (ha!), so I�d have totell you she loves it. Does that soundconceited � and will I pay a heftyprice for saying it?! No, she is atypical Army wife � a great lady whomakes a home for her husband andfamily where ever duty calls. Sheilais volunteering at Queen of PeaceElementary school on Ebeye, work-ing with the other Army wives andenjoying various recreational activi-ties � (when she�s not hosting someevent that I forgot to tell her about

until the last minute!) Bottom line �she really enjoys life here atKwajalein.

The third most often asked ques-tion is my favorite. �Sir, what doesHooah mean?�

Well, it means everything � and itmeans nothing. Hooah, (pronouncedwho-uh) is an expletive (not obscen-ity) uttered by soldiers as an affirma-tion, salutation, proclamation, ova-tion or question. It is a word to fill outa sentence. Example: The boss is-sues an order and you acknowledgeHooah!

In the soldier�s mind, his or herHooah! to the boss means:

1. That�s the dumbest thing I everheard but will execute anyway.

2. I don�t understand, won�t admitit, but will acknowledge the order andask someone else for clarification.

3. I understand and will comply.(�Wilco� for civilians.)

4. Enthusiastic gesture just so theboss acknowledges your presenceand the fact that you�re a team-player.

So, you see, Hooah! can mean a lotof things, but I prefer to use it in apositive, can-do, affirmative manner.As you come across someone in thecommunity today or tomorrow, greetthem with a big Hooah! for me.

90-day snapshot … three questions … and a Hooah!

Kom ruwainene�Kom ruwainene� is the Marshallese way

to say, �Welcome.�

Recently arrived from Tucson, Ariz.,are Jim and Susan O�Connor. Jim,retired U.S. Air Force major, is hereas site lead forRaytheon Missile Sys-tems. He has visited Kwaj TDY fourtimes in the past two years.

The O�Connors say, �We can�t waitto get started on sailing, snorkelingand new crafts projects.�

Cline and Finley wedStephanie Cline and John Finley

were joined in marriage Friday, Oct.13, at Island Memorial Chapel.

Merrie Beth Schad served as maidof honor and Kai Kalahiki was thebest man.

The bride�s parents, Mr. Buck andTrish Cline, of Hawaii, attended theceremony, as well.

A reception was held Oct. 14, atCoral Sands Beach.

After a honeymoon trip to Pohnpei,the couple will resume their work asfirefighter/emergency medical tech-nicians with the USAKA/KMR FireDepartment.

The couple, both of Virginia Beach,Va., came to Kwajalein in June.

Stephanie (Cline) and John Finley

survey by an off-island cabling com-pany and the operating and startupcosts.

�We won�t know that until we lookat the numbers [from the survey],�Morris said. But all the cable conduitalready put under the new roads willsave a lot of time and money.�

Cabling the island will affect morethan just the viewing habits of resi-dents.

If the island is cabled, it will dras-tically change the way Central Pa-cific Network does business, saidCraig McCarraher, CPN chief engi-neer.

CPN won�t have to staff the office 24hours a day, although someone wouldbe on call.

McCarraher said Kwaj would get atleast nine channels, which wouldinclude six stations from AFRTS, allthat they offer worldwide; one AFNstation, which we now get on Chan-nel 9, delayed 13 hours; possibly one24-hour weather radar channel; and24 hours of the local �roller,� updatedperodically. Kwaj would also get 10radio stations. All signals would beon 24 hours a day.

�There was very wide support forinclusion of the Discovery channel inaddition to the AFRTS channels,�

Morris said. �If we can make thishappen, we need to include [Discov-ery].�

Another major factor in the up-grade is the cost saving to CPN. �Theinitial investment for CPN would belarge, but the cost saving in the longrun would be huge,� McCarrahersaid.

The up-front cost would be newdistribution equipment for the cablechannels.

Another factor, according toMcCarraher, is that fewer transmit-ters would be needed. BecauseAFRTS is the commander�s hotlinein case of emergency, a minimum ofone radio and one TV station wouldbe broadcast over a transmitter sothey could be heard by someonewithout access to a cable � at thebeach, on a boat or at Ebeye, forexample.

AFRTS plans to add two more sta-tions sometime in 2001-2002,McCarraher added, so they would beautomatically added to our lineup atthat time. Stations being consideredare another Spectrum channel formovies, a cartoon channel and asports channel.

Survey results varied by locationand tour status. On Kwaj, 73 percentof respondents would pay for CATV,while Roi-Namur had a lower 46 per-cent who would pay for CATV.

Unaccompanied residents wouldsupport CATV at 73 percent, whileaccompanied residents weighed inslightly lower at 68 percent.

�The coming months will be plan-ning and analysis,� Morris said. �Wegot a loud and clear message [fromthe community] that we have to do itright, if we�re going to do it.�

From Staff ReportsWhen Howard �Tako Man� Duarte

teed off at the fourth hole Sundayduring the �Japan Open,� he knewhe�d made a good shot. He didn�tknow he�d scored a hole-in-one.

�I hit the ball and knew that it wasgonna be on the green, and with mythree previous holes being bogeyed, Ifigured that maybe it was time for meto at least survive with a par hole,�Duarte said. �As it was early morn-ing, there were tree shadows rightover the pin placement and I couldn�tsee the final roll of the ball.�

The final roll landed in the cup, 176yards away.

�I couldn�t see any ball on the green,and my first thought was that I over-shot the green,� he said. �Well, Ichecked the entire area over the greenand didn�t find my ball. So, as a lastresort, I looked into the hole and�Olé,� there it was, my ball with mymarking on it.

�I was really overjoyed �cause, firstof all, this was my first hole-in-one,

and secondly, I felt all the more ex-cited �cause there were quite a num-ber of fellow golfers with the JapanOpen group that have played thegame for 20 to 30 years and haven�tscored an ace hole-in-one yet. So itmade for a very special moment.�

Fellow golfers Lott Lawson, TerryHardy and Harry Luckett roundedout the foursome and witnessed theshot.

The Japan Open is played weeklyby 35 to 40 local avid golfers, Lawsonsaid. Though membership haschanged over the years, the grouphas played for about 30 years.

�When Howard made his hole-in-one we had a small group of about24 folks playing, due to the clubchampionship being played,�Lawson said. �It was lucky forHoward, as it is traditional for whom-ever makes a hole-in-one to buydrinks for his fellow players. Howardgot off cheap.�

Said Duarte, �It was a small price topay for the excitement.�

By Staff Sgt. Kathleen T. RhemAmerican Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON � The Defense Com-missary Agency is once again team-ing with the producers of a popularshow touring U.S. military bases toramp up support for a holiday letter-writing campaign.

Producers of the show �Lettersfrom the Front: World War II,� whichhas been touring overseas militarybases for three years, came up withthe idea of a letter-writing contestafter their contact with Americantroops.

Organizers said they were �struckby the feeling of loneliness and es-trangement expressed by many ofthose we met during our travels.�

The contest runs through Nov. 11.Letters must be between 100 and150 words long and begin with, �DearService Member, I just want to saythanks for � .�

Visit the contest Web site atwww.letters-from-the-front.com for in-

formation, complete rules anddownloadable entry forms.

Prizes will be awarded in three agegroups: under 12, 12-18 and over 19.The two grand-prize winners under19 will receive $3,000 scholarships;the adult grand-prize winner will re-ceive a $3,000 computer system.

After the contest ends, the lettersare forwarded to U.S. service mem-bers serving overseas. Last yearAmerican troops received thousandsof letters through this contest, orga-nizers said. �My entire platoon �read your letter,� wrote back one sol-dier from Camp Bondsteel, Kosovo.�It changed our outlook and bright-ened our day.�

A noncommissioned officer sta-tioned on Korea�s demilitarized zonewrote to the organizers and calledthe contest a good idea because �notonly does it lift a soldier�s spirits � sofar from home, but it gets the nextgeneration to take an interest in thepeople defending their country.�

‘Letters from the Front’ seeks writers

Getting ready for thisyear’s drive, MarshaRoberts, producer ofRector-RobertsProductions’ “Lettersfrom the Front:WWII,”holds just a few of thethousands of lettersentered into lastyear’s Letters to theFront letter-writingcontest that weresent to service menand women overseas.
