for one fitness-focused squadron commander in the 86th Airlift Wing, an
early morning run was the order of the day.

When the Junior All Star girls

Renowned National Soccer Hall of Fame Member Marcelo Balboa will visit
Ramstein Saturday as part of his tour of U.S. Air Forces in Europe
bases to promote the Extreme Summer

Participants from six countries converged on Ramstein recently to take
part in the 2006 U.S. Forces in Europe Racquetball Championships. The
championships were held Saturday at the Ramstein southside and
northside fitness centers and saw participants from Germany, Italy,
Portugal, England, Kosovo and Turkey.

Fit Factor is a great Air Force initiative to get  youth, between the
ages of 9 and 18, on the right path to leading active and healthy
lives. Through this program, youth can achieve points from
participating in a variety of activities ranging from sports,
completing daily chores, eating healthy, participating in instructional
classes, and much more. Through acquiring points, participants will
achieve the different levels of fitness and at each level receive
incentives for their hard work and dedication. Furthermore, this
summer, participants will have the chance to receive 150 Extreme Summer
points for each level they reach. So, if a child takes part in Extreme
Summer this is just another way to earn points while being active and
just having fun.
