Dancing the night away Army revises 670-1 By Staff Sgt. Wallace Bonner 4th Infantry Division Public Affairs Office

The Army released a revision of Army Regulation 670-1, and for the first time, Department of the Army Pamphlet 670-1, March 31, and leaders everywhere have been working to get the changes out to their Soldiers. The changes touched on all aspects of Soldiers’ appearance and uniform wear, as well as defined the punitive and non-punitive portions of the regulation. When regulations, or portions therein, are punitive, it means that violations may result in adverse administrative action and/or charges under the Uniformed Code of Military Justice, i.e. Article 92, Failure to Obey Order or Regulation, said Capt. Jason Allen, judge advocate, Administrative and Civil Law, Office of the Staff Judge Advocate, 4th Infantry Division and Fort Carson. When regulations, or portions therein, are non-punitive, it means that violations may result in non-punitive measures. Non-punitive measures are teaching tools as opposed to punishment, he said. Examples of non-punitive measures include denial of pass or other privileges, counseling, administrative reduc- tion in grade, administrative reprimands and admonitions, extra training, bar to re-enlist- Photo by Staff Sgt.

Participants looked for clues that took them to the various Family services and locations on post. If they got all the clues right, they were entered into a noon drawing for the golden egg — a $1,000 cash prize. “I thought it was going to be like the scavenger hunt (MWR) did for Christmas — Jingle Bell Rock,” said Sgt. Thomas Evans, military police- man, Headquarters and Head quarters Battalion, 4th Infantry Division. “But this one was a lot more fun and that one was a lot harder. “What I liked about this one — besides that I won — was (that I) actually learned new information. “One neat thing I found out is that if you are a spouse of a Staff Sgt.

For 12 years, a room in the Family Connection building has been home to German conversations, tips and advice, and native food. The German group, one of two cultural groups offered by the Relocation Readiness Program, is an opportunity for Family members to get together twice a month, the first and third Wednesday from 10 a.m. to noon. “This is the nicest group I’ve seen. It’s a lot of support. You can speak the same language, enjoy the food, get travel tips, cooking tips,” said Martina Edelmann, who has been part of the group for about a year. “It’s helpful, especially for the newer spouses who are new to the Army and away from home, to be able to speak the language.” In addition to the German group, a Hispanic group meets on alternating Wednesday mornings. On a recent Wednesday morning, participants enjoyed pretzel rolls, cupcakes and a homemade biscuit roll baked by Helga Slavens.
