Military Kids Turn Good Grades into Big Rewards 

# data[].attributes.body
The KMCC Exchange is giving top marks to military students who ace their academics, celebrating 25 years of the class-act You Made the Grade program.

Military students, including homeschoolers, in first through 12th grades, can bring their report cards to the KMCC customer service area each grading period to receive rewards. Students with straight A’s receive a $20 Exchange gift card, while students with a B average earn a $10 Exchange gift card.

Since 2000, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service has honored military kids’ hard work in the classroom. According to the National Military Family Association, the average military child changes schools nine times before graduating—a challenge their civilian counterparts don’t face.

🚗 Drive Safe, Ramstein! 🚸

The safety of our community—especially our families and children—is our top priority. We’ve seen a recent uptick in vehicles exceeding the posted 30 km/hr speed limit in base housing, particularly near Donnelly Park.

Please help us keep Ramstein safe by slowing down and staying aware of your surroundings. Reducing your speed not only prevents vehicle-related incidents but also protects our pedestrians and little ones at play.

Let’s work together to maintain a secure, family-friendly environment we can all be proud to call home. Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to safety!

This research study is about regulating mood and sleep with morning light exposure.

The purpose of this Human Research study is to examine whether morning light exposure using

light emitting glasses can improve mood through circadian rhythm realignment. Information

gained from this study will support the relationship between the effects of light exposure on

circadian rhythms and treating the symptoms that result from circadian misalignment. Results from

this study will be used to address the pervasive issue of sleep disruption and circadian

misalignment and potentially improve the quality of life for members of the military. This

information could be generalized to populations that deal with circadian misalignment like night-

shift workers, as well as provide overall insight to other symptoms of low light exposure in the

general population such as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Hello Community Members,

For this upcoming event, we are specifically seeking additional volunteer drivers.

I've attached a flyer with more detailed information on how to join the NO DUI Prevention Program Telegram Group Chat. Please consider volunteering your time and sharing this opportunity with others who might be interested.

You can reach me directly at dustin.d.sellers.mil@army.mil. Once you've joined the Telegram group chat (after your request has been approved), you can also connect with me there.

Welcome to the NO DUI Prevention Program. Our program is inside the Kaiserslautern Military Community (KMC) area.

KMC!

Some good news, POVs shipped through International Auto Logistics (IAL) to the Kaiserslautern VPC do not need to receive temporary plates.

All customers stationed in the KMC who shipped their vehicle(s) through IAL to the Kaiserslautern VPC will be required to bring all documents to the Kapaun Vehicle Registration Main Office to include valid Insurance Confirmation Card.

Kapaun Vehicle Registration will verify the customer meets the documents and insurance liability requirements and direct the customer to IAL. The customer will drive their vehicle directly from IAL to Kapaun POV Inspection. If the vehicle passes inspection, they will receive permanent KL plates; if the vehicle fails it will receive temporary TK plates.

We will begin this process on Monday, March 17, 2025. Customers will be serviced on a walk in first come first serve basis.

If you have any questions, please send us an email to 569USFPS.S5BV.Vehicleregistration@us.af.mil
