SUPER BOWL XLVI Vinson Prepares for Super Bowl at Sea STORY BY

nce more, Vinson is halfway around the world, supporting Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility (AOR), so it must mean it’s time for the Early Bird Super Bowl Special! Carl Vinson’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Division is slated to present Super Bowl XLVI live on the big screen via Armed Forces Network (AFN) Sports (SITE TV CH. 9, 20) on the aft mess decks Monday Feb. 6, from 3 a.m. until game’s end. MWR and Supply Department’s S-2 Division will be
offering the Super Bowl trifecta of pizza, wings and nachos from 3 a.m. to 4:30 a.m. Regular breakfast will begin at 5 a.m., and the big screen television will remain up for the entire game. “The mess decks will be decorated complete with party favors and Sailors are encouraged to support their teams by wearing team jerseys and ball caps,” said Therese Guinane, Vinson’s Fun Boss. However once the game is over, Sailors will be required to be back in the uniform of the day. CONTINUE ‘FOOTBALL’ ON PAGE 2

“At halftime we’re doing the paper football field goal contest – who can make the most field goals – and we’re adding a football trivia game. We’ll be giving away prizes like gift certificates to MWR and the ship’s store to the winners,” Guinane added. In an effort to include night check personnel, the trivia and paper football contests will be held during Monday morning’s live broadcast of the Super Bowl. Despite the early hour, Sailors around the deckplates said they would try to watch the game live. “We’ll probably watch it in the shop,” said Information Systems Technician (SW/AW) Shantae Clark, Carrier Strike Group 1 N6 Division’s leading petty officer. “I’m comfortable with my peers. I might start throwing a couple of fist pumps or ‘Hoo-yah!’s, and that’s not for everybody.” Interior Communications Electrician 2nd Class Stephen Getchell, an avid Patriots fan assigned to Combat Systems Department’s CS-8 Division, said he will make the early wake-up call for the game, but probably will not sit through the entire five hours of pre-game coverage. “You can only stand to hear them talk about the last time we played the Giants in the Super Bowl for so long, but I’m definitely going to be watching the game,” Getchell said. This time, though, Getchell is confident the Patriots have an edge. “I grew my mustache for the Bruins playoff run last season – I kept it through three port calls and the first day back in San Diego,” Getchell said. “I’m attributing their championship to my mustache-growing skills, and that’s why I started growing it this season for the Patriots.” Clark, who will be rooting for the NFC, even though the New York Giants beat her San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game, disagrees. “Oh, the Giants are gonna get by them, just like they did in ’07,” she said. Whether supporting the Giants or the Patriots, the NFC or the AFC, for those Sailors who don’t want to brave the early hour (the pre-game show starts at 10 p.m. Sunday), SITE TV will air replays of the game at 1300 and 2100 Monday.

abata. Though it may sound like a samurai’s muttered curse, Tabata refers to the Tabata Protocol or Method, a high-intensity, interval-training (HIIT) fitness regiment based upon a 1996 study by Izumi Tabata and others. The program consists of 20 seconds of intense exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest repeated continuously for four minutes or eight cycles. “It’s as fast as you can go, as many reps as you can do, as hard as you can go for 20 seconds. Anybody can handle anything for 20 seconds,” said Lt. j.g. Gloria V. Ewing, assistant maintenance officer assigned to Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron (HS) 15.” Ewing’s class includes a warm-up of dynamic stretches like jumping jacks or high knees before the workout and 10 to 12 minutes of static stretching at the end of the workout. Ewing said she doesn’t like static stretches at the beginning of workouts because she feels they mess up the elasticity of muscles, relaxing them too much to give a person the spring necessary to function properly. Rather, she saves static stretching until after the workout to stretch the muscles used that day and help stretch the muscles that are sore from a previous workout. The class is approximately an hour long, but what attracted Ewing to the class initially was that Tabata seemed a “no-frills workout”. “Twenty-four minutes is what attracted me to it, and after 24 minutes I was sore,” Ewing said. “When I do it by myself, I’m in and out of there in a half an hour. And it’s a pretty darn good workout if you do it right.” Phrases like “24-minute workout” and “20-second exercises” led Logistics Specialist Seaman Erik Pinos, assigned to Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department’s Material Control Division, to believe the class would be easy. “I didn’t think it was gonna be a challenge,” Pinos said. “I went the first time and it was really tough for me. Pushups are easy for me, but when we did 20 seconds, eight sets, that was killing me. I like the challenge; that’s what really attracted me to the class.” “Lt. j.g. Ewing would do it, and it would look easy,” said Aviation Maintenance Administrationman (AW) 3rd Class Bertha Espino, a central technical publication library administrator assigned to Air Department’s V-2 Division. “Once we started doing it, it was not easy – not at all.” Espino and Pinos are part of a core group of Sailors who have come to the class since it began two weeks before the Hong Kong port visit. Pinos has been attending the class for five weeks and Espino for three and a half weeks. “At first they died,” Ewing smiled as she recalled their initial response to the class. “They died every day. But now it’s so much easier for them because they’ve gotten stronger. They’ve come a long way, and it’s great to see that progression. For me to see them get fitter and get more confident in those exercises and see the changes in their bodies, I’m like, ‘Good for you, guys.’”

Hwang This program shreds inches, more so than helping you lose weight. It’s a toning program that increases functional strength, so you’ll be smaller but not necessarily lighter because you are building muscle. “It’s muscle endurance,” Pinos said. “My legs are stronger. I feel better when I walk; I run better, I breathe better and my core is also better.” “I’m trying to lose weight and it is really helping,” Espino said. “I can’t tell on the scale because I’ve been gaining muscle, but my waist is losing inches.” When Ewing found that Vinson’s Fitboss wasn’t returning for this deployment, and most of last deployment’s instructors had left, she thought “We can’t go all cruise with nothing.” She approached Therese Guinane, Vinson’s Funboss about possibly teaching a fitness class. “I like to help people; I like to see them achieve some goals,” Ewing said. “If you give me 20 minutes and even sound like you are trying to attain some fitness goal, I’ll help.” Ewing emphasized her presence in the class would be felt. “I will be all up in your Kool-Aid,” she laughed. “If you have injuries and we need to spend extra time rehabbing it, you’re going to stay after class and we’re going to so some passive stretching and I’ll teach you how to stretch better. I’m going to be involved all the way, until you are at a point that you think I can take the training wheels out and you can go, at which point, I’m like, ‘Go forth and prosper, and teach someone else.’” Ewing’s passion and commitment to fitness generates from personal dogma, but also from her concern about the trend in Sailors’ health and fitness, especially among the younger Sailors. She wonders how Sailors, after leaving boot camp within regulations, are arriving at their first command out of standards. “It honestly is heartbreaking to see where we are, what we are condoning as being ‘okay’ as a standard in the Navy,” Ewing said. “We are hurting our readiness because you are going to have to deal with health problems. People cannot deploy because they do not screen medically, because they are dealing with all the stuff that is being brought on by being too heavy or not fit.” Though believing her efforts are “not even half a drop in the bucket,” Ewing says she is on a crusade against Navy obesity. “Any way I can contribute to alleviate that or resolve that, I’m going to do it.” Ewing and her shipmates are heartened, though, by the strides Vinson has taken to promote fitness and offer a variety of classes during this deployment. “I think we’re doing well,” Espino said. “We have more fitness programs than last deployment, that’s for sure.” “It’s really encouraging to see the turnout, the amount of people that we’re starting to see overall taking advantage of these classes and how many people are embracing these opportunities,” Ewing added.

Day In The Life Of...
VFA-81 Aviation Ordnancemen STORY & PHOTO BY
MC3 (SW) Rosa A. Arzola | Carl Vinson Staff Writer
S
ailors wearing red jerseys identifying them as aviation ordnancemen or “ordies”, with bold letters stenciled across their chest – “Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 81” – work in an environment known for its intricate evolutions with weapons and aircraft on the flight deck. As Carl Vinson and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 17 Sailors adapt to working in U.S. 5th Fleet supporting ground troops from the air, these redshirted Sailors, with a sense of pride in their work, stay motivated to do their job and do it well – all to save lives. Like a well-orchestrated team, sometimes at a moment’s notice, they properly upload and download live, fused ordnance on aircraft. “It takes a group of six of us to lift, hook, slide, and lock 500 pounds of ordnance to the aircraft launchers. From the quality assurance safety observer, team leader, and three team members, we all need to be in full concentration mode,” said Day Check Supervisor Aviation Ordnanceman 2nd Class (AW) Cassandra Carr. Carr explained more than 1,000 pounds of ordnance require mechanical hoisting and mistakes have no home on the flight deck or beneath the wing of a multi-billion-dollar aircraft. “We have this in mind every day we step on the flight deck ready to do our job,” Carr said. VFA-81 AOs receive, inventory and cross-check every piece of weaponry delivered to the flight deck to ensure the right ammunition is attached to the correct aircraft. It’s this pressure to make the correct decisions that keeps these Sailors on the go, on their toes and aware all the time. “Not following the rules or lack of attention when handling ordnance can get someone killed,” Carr said. From a foreign object damage (FOD) walk-down to recovering the last aircraft of the day, they are

constantly roving from aircraft to bomb farm, inspecting each aircraft and its ammunition after every launch and recovery. “If it weren’t for us, the mission wouldn’t happen,” said Leading Chief Petty Officer Chief Aviation Ordnanceman (AW/SW) Monica Lyde. “No ordnance would be loaded to the aircraft. A flying aircraft with no defense is useless.” And that understanding goes up and down the chain of command. “My job is one of the most important jobs onboard,” said Aviation Ordnanceman Airman Tyler Zink. “That’s why we are here on deployment, to drop off bombs and save lives.” “We work around the heat of the jet blast, the sound of the catapults, and the adrenaline rush, knowing pilots are sitting in the aircraft giving us a questioning look – ‘Are you going to be able to load me up on time so I can take off and do my job?’” Carr said. “What greater feeling exists than knowing as a group you were able to allow pilots to help your fellow service members on land?” Carr also feels working in such
a mentally and physically stressful environment is one of the reasons why the shop is a lot like a family. As “ordies” they are proud to know the success of their job is completed as a team, that nothing can be accomplished as individuals. The camaraderie does not only exist while completing their daily jobs up on deck but extends further to include while they are eating on the mess decks, studying for warfare qualifications and advancement, or simply enjoying liberty together, Carr said. Lyde, who has been an AO for twelve years, said ordancemen always act like family, have each other’s back and help each other out with personal or career problems. She emphasized VFA81’s particular shop of ordnancemen understands the role they play as a squadron in supporting the boots on the ground. “My guys bust their back every day,” Lyde said. “They never complain even if they are on the flight deck, moving and carrying heavy equipment, loading and uploading 10 aircraft all day. They give me 110 percent and I couldn’t ask for a better group of Sailors. They work hard and are always on their toes.”

Groundhog A NOTE FROM
Lt. Cmdr. James West | Carl Vinson Chaplain
I
couldn’t let Feb. 2 go by without writing something about Groundhog Day. A few weeks ago I mentioned Groundhog Day and noticed the class didn’t know what the reference was. So I asked, “Do you know what I mean by saying it’s like Groundhog Day?” It surprised me, but no one in the class had heard of the expression. I imagine that there are some other sayings that have fallen into the generation gap, but this one truly caught me by surprise. Fortunately, I had the tools to remedy the situation: a flat screen monitor, DVD player and the Groundhog Day DVD. After a few minutes, the generation gap was bridged. It turned out later that same day, Media Department played the movie on SITE-TV1. The movie is entertaining and Sailors do get the impression we keep living the same day over and over again. I remember one Sailor describing last year’s deployment as one long day with a lot of little naps. I wonder, would people ever be satisfied with a perfect day? Does perfection require going over the same routine until one
Bowl
We’re In It To Win gets it right? There are several communities that practice continually, who strive for perfection and keep us involved. Athletes are one of those. Teams run the same drills over and over again. They study game tapes. Practice, they say, does make perfect. Yet what makes it remarkable for both the player and those in the stands is the live experience. No two games are ever alike. We pay attention to them because we know they are striving to win. We get excited because they are in it to win it, and we get engaged. It’s in our nature to strive for perfection. There’s no better feeling than getting it right. Getting it right with a team, among family, friends and fans is the best. So, is having Groundhog Day and the Super Bowl close together a coincidence? I don’t think so. Enjoy the game and remember, we are in this together. We work together because it’s not only the right thing to do, it’s a great experience to accomplish the mission, together. It’s not Groundhog Day, it’s far better than that. This is life, lived for others. The best is yet to come.

Unauthorized Absence (UA)
M
any of the offenses covered in the UCMJ require no special explanation. Theft is theft, and arson is arson no matter what system of justice you answer to. But one article requires some additional explanation and emphasis. Article 86 of the UCMJ deals with unauthorized absence, sometimes referred to as “AWOL” (absence without leave). In civilian life, your presence at your job is very important and, in the case of some occupations such as doctor or fireman, it can mean the difference between life or death for someone. In the military, since defending the nation is your foremost reason for being, the potential for a life-or-death situation is always there. Whether you are the loader on a
gun, the person who inspects parachutes, or the cook who prepares meals for the crew, you are on an important part of a team that depends upon every member to function properly. Any mission, whether it is one involving combat, rescue, or routine operations, will be adversely affected if one or more of the team is not there to do his or her job. Because of this, UA is considered a very serious breach of discipline and is subject to severe penalties. Because of the punishment you may receive and because of your responsibility to the Navy and to your Shipmates who are counting on you, you must make every effort to avoid being absent without proper authorization.

Who Was Carl Vinson? T
CO’s
he youngest man in Congress at 31 years of age, Carl Vinson’s first two committee assignments were less than prestigious. He worked industriously on the now-defunct Pension Committee and the District of Columbia (DC) Committee, but found little satisfaction in them. He introduced multiple bills serving the interests of his native Georgia, letting his constituents know their congressman was hard at work. By late summer of 1916, Vinson was approaching the end of his first congressional term, and to the state’s surprise, he entered the Democratic Primary unopposed – an almost unheard-of occurrence. When the 65th Congress convened in 1917, there were vacancies on a few choice House committees. With one completed term of service under his belt, Vinson chose the Naval Affairs Committee. “I wanted to serve on a committee where I could see the results of my labors. When you authorize the construction of a military base or a big carrier, you see the results,” Vinson said. Vinson told his constituents he would support a large Navy. It was only a few days after Vinson’s appointment to the committee that President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress to declare the U.S. a participant in World War I. Vinson supported the resolution, calling for an end to German atrocities and to perpetuate free institutions in the world. “The government which would not take like action under such provocation is not entitled to endure as a nation,” Vinson said. Who is Carl Vinson? is part of a continuing series based on the book, Carl Vinson: A Legacy of Public Service.
Suggestion Box
Captain, I have more of a question than a suggestion. On our last deployment we got the same excuse for an increase in the cost of sodas as we did this time. “Sodas cost more when we buy them from overseas locations vice the United States. So the price will temporarily be higher”…..etc. However, the cost never came down from the first gouging even when and after we returned to Calif. (from 55 cents – 65 cents). We are getting the same excuse again for yet another jump in soda prices. My question is why? I don’t know if this may have slipped someone’s mind or if it was intentional. Would you address this, Captain? I find it hard to believe soda prices have increased 33%
from last January. That would be an 18% increase in price last deployment and an additional 15% increase this deployment. It simply seems to me to be an intentional fleecing of captive consumers. GO NAVY! Response: Every time we buy sodas form a different country, the prices change. S3 is required to maintain some type of profit, but that money does not go into Supply’s pocket, it goes into the command’s MWR Funds, which are used for transportation in port (buses for tours); discounted ticket prices on deployment, sports events for the crew; any type of gym equipment/T-shirts for the crew; games/movies, and giveaways/ supplies when we have the Sailor events. S3 has done an outstanding job of making sure USS Carl Vinson has great choices
in the Ship’s Store and different drink selections; these things cost the command. I have talked with SUPPO and as soon as we can, the sodas will go back to 65 cents. I assure you, no one is trying to gouge prices or take advantage of our “captive consumers”.
