Detecting breast cancer early makes a world of difference. With our digital
mammography system, highly detailed images for a more accurate diagnosis can
be shared with physicians almost instantly.
That means you spend less time in the exam room, less time waiting for results,
and less time away from living your life.
And it takes place at the Sue Mayborn Women's Center at Metroplex, a place
exclusively designed for women's health that combines compassionate care with
an amazing healing environment. It's just one of the many ways we're Creating
Better Health.

murals on six recycle roll-off con-
tainers. CRDAMC’s environmen-
tal health section Soldiers were on
hand and helped brainstorm with
students on mural ideas. Colorful
murals highlighted environmental
topics from recycling and beautifi-
cation to the impact of pollution.
Following the mural painting,
Williams turned physical training
exercises into an ice breaker to
build up competition and team
work. The activity energized stu-
dents as they explored the recycle
center’s single stream operation.
David Holmes, materials sorter
and identifier supervisor for Fort
Hood Recycle, explained how tons
of recyclable material from card-
board to plastics are dumped from
trucks into a pit at the center.
Holmes guided the students as
they explored the center’s auto-
mated system of conveyor belts,
screens and magnets that separate
the comingled recyclable materials.
It quickly became clear that people
throw items that are not recyclable
and a team of sorters is responsible
for pulling contaminants out.
After touring the recycle center,

cle and the Directorate of Public
Works Environmental Division
hosted the leadership and environ-
mental stewardship event as part
of CYS’s FRIENDS initiative -
Fort Hood Region Initiating Edu-
cational Networks and Developing
Support System.
“FRIENDS is an amazing posi-
tive, bonding experience and you
form interschool bonds as well,”
McCoy said.
“FRIENDS is also a great
opportunity to get involved with
your peers and in your commu-
nity,” Jordan House, a senior at
Shoemaker High School, said
FRIENDS connects military
student leaders with the Fort
Hood community and develops
student-centered solutions aimed
at addressing transitional issues,
while providing mentorship and
leadership development.
“The goal of FRIENDS is to
help empower youth in our com-
munities, encourage them to make
positive life choices and maximize
their potential,” Angelica Salinas,
school liaison officer for CYS,
said. “The initiative also gives the
aspect of mentorship and guidance
from our Army and Soldiers.”
Spc. Joseph Williams, preven-
tive medicine specialist, was one
of a handful of Soldiers from Carl
R. Darnall Army Medical Cen-
ter’s environmental health section
that volunteered and supported
the event.
“The Army has given me an
amazing opportunity to engage
youth leaders and discuss how the
decisions they make today that can
affect them tomorrow,” he said.
“You never know who you can
help by taking time out of your
day to talk to these future leaders.”
The first of five activities began
at Fort Hood Recycle. Students
made their way to the recycle
yard, splitting into groups to paint

jump forward.”
The students complied, but
then Salinas added a twist to his
instructions.
“Say the opposite of what I say,
but do what I say,” he said. “Jump
right!”
“Jump left,” the students echoed.
Half moving to the left and others
moving to the right.
Salinas explained that leaders
can either provide guidance or
chaos.
“Leaders provide purpose, direc-
tion and motivation to be able to
reach goals,” he stated. “But as a
leader you can also create chaos
and sometimes words can get lost
in translation.”
“Leadership is about showing
the way to paths, opportunities
and ideas and encouraging others
to follow,” House said.
Students concluded the leader-
ship event by using creative props,
recycle bins and costumes to cre-
ate environmental public service
announcements highlighting recy-
cling, litter prevention and for-
estry.
“The PSAs engaged our
to be more involved of what is
going on in their environment,”
Angelica Salinas said. “They will
help to enlighten their peers and
adults with their messages.”
Carol Ormand, an English
teacher and Student 2 Student
sponsor from Belton High School,
attended the event with her stu-
dents and was happy about what
they experienced.
“The kids had an amazing time
learning and are going to be able
to take this message with them
to teach others about the envi-
ronment and recycling,” Ormand
said.
“The FRIENDS initiative is a
great opportunity to grow lead-
ership skills and gain a lot of
perspective about being a better
leader and raising each other up to
be stronger.”

“The U.S. is developing at a
rate of 200 million acres per year,
and replacing wildland and grass-
land with businesses, apartments,
houses and other living areas,”
she said. “But there are easy ways
to change this by planting trees,
shrubs and native plants and get-
ting rid of monoculture lawns to
help increase biodiversity.”
Students joined in, grabbing
shovels and planting an ash tree
and a mountain laurel shrub that
were donated by the production
managers of the National Geo-
graphic miniseries “The Long
Road Home.”
The next stop of the day was
the Comanche Youth Center for a
leadership icebreaker, environmen-
tal public service announcements
and lunch.
Master Sgt. Luis Salinas, the
DPW sergeant major, split the
students in half to form two cir-
cles facing inward toward each
other. Students held hands and
were given instructions to jump
forward, backyard, left or right.
“Say what I say and do what I
say,” he instructed. “Jump left...
