As a Soldier residing in the barracks at Fort Carson, Johnson assumed the Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers (BOSS) program just took people on mountain-biking and river-rafting trips.

“Looking down from the top of the lake, it’s kind of dark, but when you look up from depths, it’s crystal clear,” Johnson said. “It’s almost like a mirage.”

The Army sergeant and Arkansas native has skydived and ziplined, among other relatively extreme activities, but he never imagined that one day he’d dive more than 80 feet down a fresh-water aquifer, air tank strapped to his back, while relaying hand signals to his fellow divers.

Of course, scuba diving and completing advanced courses can become more expen sive dependent on whether students wish to buy their own equipment and take their own excursions to other dive locations. Arend teaches advanced courses all the way up to the scuba instructor level.
Arend explained that maintaining buoy ancy is key to maneuverability under water and that some folks have trouble catching on quickly, but that it’s a hurdle most peo ple conquer during their pool practice. He teaches up to eight students in one class and owns all of the equipment used in the course wet suits, air tanks, air regulators and masks to name a few – that students will need to complete the course.

DAUGHTER OF AIR FORCE PARENTS INSPIRED TO KEEP US ALL SMILING WITH CONFIDENCE
Everyone Deserves an Amazing Smile
It all starts with a free consultation, in which Dr. Giltner and her team work with patients and their families to figure out the best treatment plan for them.

Confident Smiles Created Daily
“We’re more than just orthodontists,” she adds. “My team and I at Smile Doctors shop the same grocery stores, go to the same churches, and hike the same trails as our patients and their families. We’re your friends and neighbors, and we’re totally committed to making the smile of your dreams a reality."
Now one of the country’s leading orthodontists herself, she says “I really do have the best job in the world.” Dr. Giltner practices with Smile Doctors, the country’s fastest-growing network of award-winning orthodontists.Whetherit’s braces or Invisalign® aligners—for kids, teens, or adults—Dr. Giltner has treatment plans that help patients get healthy smiles that last a lifetime. “No two smiles are alike,” says Giltner, “so I enjoy the challenge of customizing an approach that fits the patient. But my team and I have a saying: People first, teeth second. We love creating great smiles, and we love people even more.”
Giltner believes the large Smile Doctors network is a major benefit to her patients. With more than 300 locations in 25 states, Smile Doctors still manages to maintain its focus on a patient-centered approach, something Giltner has been instrumental in shaping through her work with miliary families.
rowing up as the proud daughter of two Air Force officers, Pueblo orthodontist Dr. Jennifer Quist Giltner, DMD, MS, globetrotted everywhere from Tucson to Okinawa with her parents. Yet, no matter where she was planted—and however temporarily—her passion for serving people kept blooming and was lovingly cultivated by her two parents, oral surgeon Colonel Rhett Quist, USAF (retired) and nurse Major Amy Quist, USAF (retired).
received by Smile Doctors in Pueblo alone, their approach is winning Pueblo families over.
“We have people who can help figure out the insurance piece to help make treatment more affordable,” says Giltner. “And of course, we offer a 10% military discount and have affordable payment plans to make an amazing, healthy smile attainable for anyone.

“It can be challenging to build relationships, only to have your patient or their family move away—not to mention the stress that comes with relocating a family. I feel for them because I’ve been through it,” Giltner says. “And I find comfort knowing that if relocation occurs during treatment, there is a stress free, smooth transfer of care. I can just say ‘Call Dr. So-and-so. She’s a true rockstar orthodontist!’ or ‘Here’s my friend, Dr. So-and-so’s number. You’ll like him.’ My patients love this ease as well and have specifically sought out Smile Doctors locations to start their treatment for this reason.

“I’m thankful for the opportunity to watch my parents’ amazing work with patients. Between my mom’s caring heart and my dad’s expert skills, they really inspired me to become an orthodontist. I get to build relationships with patients and help them discover confidence they didn’t think they had. I never get tired of that!”

“We even have a truly groundbreaking remote care option,” she adds. “Smile Doctors Anywhere is an app that puts your orthodontist at your fingertips, so wherever your phone works, we can see you and keep tabs on your progress. That combination—our strong network with the country’s leading orthodontists, and the convenience of remote care—it is perfect for military families. I’m sure my parents wish they’d had this when I was young. I know I do, and I hear from patients all the time about the ways Smile Doctors has made life for military families better.”

Road, which gets much
Closest to Colorado Springs, Gold Camp Road from the “Four Corners” Trailhead above Helen Hunt Falls is a great place right after a fresh snowfall. About sixtenths of a mile down is the ever popular 7 Bridges Trail, another good snowshoeing trail, if you get to it before it gets too packed down. Instead of turning onto 7 Bridges, continue on Gold Camp Road, which gets much

In this part of the country, you’ll want to look for “mountaineering” snowshoes that have a “heel lifter.” This device folds down under the heel of your boot and keeps your foot relatively level, even if the snowshoe itself is at an angle. You flip the heel lifter up when you’re on level ground, or when going downhill.

snowshoes, and I recommend insulated, waterproof snow or hiking boots. Snowshoes attach to your footwear with bindings that wrap around your boots. Each manufacturer has their own style of bindings, but they all do the same thing.
inter is just around the corner, but that doesn’t mean it’s not still possible to enjoy outdoor recreation. All it takes are some adjustments to clothing, gear and planning. Winter also brings snow, of course, and if we’re lucky, snow too deep to just walk
You can wear almost any kind of footwear, except ski boots, with

is a great way to enjoy being outside in deep snow, and you’ll want at least 6 or 8 inches of powder before strapping on the snowshoes. Snowshoes keep you from “post-holing” — sinking up to your knees, or deeper, into the snow — by floating on the snow. When you’re looking to buy snowshoes, the fi rst consideration is which size of snowshoe to use. Snowshoes are sized by length, and which size you should get is determined by the weight they’ll need to support on the snow. The longer the snowshoe, the more weight it will support. You’ll need to not only factor in your weight, but the weight of your clothing, boots, pack, water and anything else you’ll typically carry while snowshoeing. Each manufacturer has their own method of determining which size supports whatever weight, so you’ll want to consult with manufacturers’ data when deciding what size to get. If your weight falls between two sizes, get the bigger of the two.
So that we’ve covered the basics of snowshoeing, where should you go?
Moving around in snowshoes can be a bit awkward at first, but most people take to it pretty quickly. If you fall while wearing snowshoes (and you will, at least once) it can be a bit difficult to get back up. Having hiking poles with you, which is highly recommended, will not only help keep you from falling, but also help you get back up when you eventually do.

less traffic and is wide enough that you can fi nd unpacked snow to snowshoe on. When you get to Tunnel #3, continue on the trail that goes up and over the tunnel. At the top of the trail, there is a great view down North Cheyenne Cañon, which is especially nice when covered in fresh snow. Th is is also a good place to turn around, especially if this is your first time on snowshoes. If you want to go further, you can keep going on the trail to a fork in the trail. Bearing right will take you to St. Mary’s Falls, and a left will take you over to the other side of the tunnel and continuing on Gold Camp Road. My suggestion is to take Gold Camp Road past the tunnel. This section of the road is lightly used, typically gets quite a bit of snow, and has some nice views.
A little further west, Mueller State Park has a wide variety of trails, and due to its elevation, gets plenty of snow. Call ahead or check in with the very knowledgeable staff at the visitors center to get the latest trail conditions. A little further west, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument also offers good snowshoeing opportunities, especially the easy Shootin’ Star and Twin Rocks trails. Call ahead or check in at the visitor center to get current trail conditions. Entry fees do apply at Mueller State Park and Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument.Obviously this doesn’t cover all the places to go snowshoeing, but since this column is “Snowshoeing 101,” it will get you started. If you can hike, you can snowshoe. Have fun.
