4. Where do I go..
When I need Support?
With so many resources out there, sometimes it’s confusing to know
where to start. Here’s an illustration that might offer some guidance in
those times of confusion.
Imagine that you are going to the tool store in need of a tool or tools to
build your support structure. You walk through the doors and are
greeted by…
The “Representative” at the Door –This is typically the first person that you see when you
enter a store for help. They have a good general idea of where all of the tools are and can
point you in the right direction. This person would be a good starting point in your search
for tools that you need to build your support structure. This person is like your (Family
Readiness Group) FRG Leader.
The “Customer Service Agent “– But sometimes the tools that you will
need are so specific that it stumps that Sales Person. So, they would
typically send you to the Customer Service Agent who typically knows
the store in a little more detail and who would be able to give you very
specific guidance. This person is your (Family Readiness Support
Assistant) FRSA.
The “Specialist” – Once you know where to go to find the tools, there are times
when you realize that you might need to talk with someone who can hear the
problem and give you specific advice on which tools you’ll need, how to build your
support structure, and whether or not it is a project that is realistically manageable.
This person is your (Military Family Life Consultant) MFLC.
The “Contractor” – There are times when the specialist recommends that you get with
a contractor because the project is too big. The contractor is Behavioral Health.
The “Trusted Friend” – Sometimes when we approach
projects that are big and unfamiliar we can find comfort in
bringing along a trusted friend who has proven themselves to
be supportive and knowledgeable in these difficult times so
that we don’t have to embrace them alone. In the absence of
a trusted friend, the Chaplain is a good person to bring along.

5. A power outage has been scheduled for 29 September 2012, starting at 5 am and will continue until 6 pm. The
outage will take place close to the intersection of South Riva Ridge and Nancy Drive and at the intersection of
Chapel Drive and South Riva Ridge. The reason for the outage is to upgrade the current power lines and make
Coblenz Circle able to be back feed from another direction. We are combining two outages into one. The outage
will be for the same 12 hours but ¾ of the homes will only be out of power for up to 4 hours. Below is a break-
down of who will be affected and for how long. It will affect the 9000 area housing (Coblenz Circle only), MP Sta-
tion, CID, FD, CDC's, Main Post Chapel, Car Wash for approx 12 hours starting at 5 am. The following housing areas
will be affected for up to 4 hours starting at 5 am. 9000 area(9050 thru 9086) 9100, 9200, 9300, 10800. Again, the
outage is scheduled for approx 12 hours but if done sooner power will be restored immediately. If you have any
questions please contact Jeff Carroll at 523-0458.

6. October 3 from 5 - 9 pm The Commons is celebrating the autumn harvest with a dinner special
featuring Schnitzel and Cordon Bleu. Enjoy traditional German specialties and the micro-brewed
