BY CATHERINE MCNALLY to Team Hilltop Times writer p hen you come through the gate in the morning are you coming to advance your career or is it just your job?" asked Essye Miller, director of Hill Air Force Base Communications Directorate, as she spoke March 11 to a gathering.

NORDEL KIM COOK/U.S. Air Force Ogden Air Logistics Center and 75th Air Base Wing command chief Essye Miller, director of Hill Air Force Base Communications Directorate, talks at a woman's history event on March 11. I am writing this news article, which it hurts to have to write. Since my arrival two months ago, we have been fighting drug use issues, so I thought I'd share with you an update. This week we sent the first of the many soon-to-come Airmen out of the Air Force and off the installation as a civilian for the use of Spice. This one was sent away with a less-thanhonorable discharge. So Spice is the ticket ...your ticket out the gate! The Uniform Code of Military Justice states the use of any mind-altering substance other than alcohol is strictly prohibited; Spice is exactly that prohibited substance. Scarier yet, we don't know anything about Spice, its long term effects or what you will have to deal with later in life because of its use. Wow, what a chance to take with your future in so many ways! My No. 1 concern with Spice is that it hurts our nation and its defense. We have no place for abusers of drugs; people's lives depend on our mental and physical fitness. So to ensure we maintain these attributes, we will put Spice users out of our Air Force and continue the business of national defense. Team: Spice has no place in or amongst Team Hill. We are working hard to eliminate its presence and if you look around one day and someone isn't there because they used Spice it means we are doing our job. Please, let's make sure we all work together to keep our community strong and drug free.

Jeffrey Dorko, Deputy Commanding General for military and international operations at the headquarters of U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, visited Team Hill on March 2. The purpose of his visit was to meet with Team Hill project leaders and workers and to see the constructions sites that are being worked on and developed. "Our relationship with Hill Air Force Base is really good, and this is a great opportunity for me to come out here and meet with our partners and customers," Dorko said. "Over the past several years we have done about 200 million dollars worth of work just on Hill Air Force Base." The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers mission is set into two buck- ets. One is the civil works mission which focuses on parks, recreation areas and construction within communities. The other falls into the area which is in the visiting general's domain — military construction for the Army and Air Force worldwide. Dorko explained that the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers does more than just military construction.
