NASP kicks off base’s centennial with headquarters dedication Jan. 17 From NASP PAO

N

aval Air Station Pensacola will kick off its centennial celebration with the dedication of the NASP command headquarters, Bldg. 1500, Jan. 17 at 11 a.m.

The ceremony will take place on the south side of the building.

On Jan. 20, 1914, battleship USS Mississippi (BB 23) arrived in Pensacola Bay to set up the Navy’s first flying school, and later, the first Naval Aeronautical Station on what is now Naval Air Station Pensacola.

One of Mississippi’s crewmembers, Ship’s Cook Fourth Class Walter

Leroy Richardson, a photography enthusiast, captured aviation activities on film, and the Navy soon recognized that Richardson’s photographs were a valuable tool for training and documenting aircraft testing, accidents and other aviation related activities. The Navy then designated Richardson as the Navy’s first official photographer. Richard-

son later received his wings of gold as a naval aviator (No. 582) and retired from service in 1926.

From 1950 through 1998, Bldg.

1500 served as the Naval Schools of Photography and was renovated for use as the command headquarters for NAS Pensacola in 2011. In recognition of Richardson’s service as a naval photographer and aviator, Bldg. 1500 will be dedicated in his honor and NAS Pensacola will kickoff its 100th year anniversary.

Guest speakers for the event will be U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller and Rear Adm. Donald Quinn, Commander, Naval Education and Training Command. Capt. Keith Hoskins, commanding officer NAS Pensacola will provide opening remarks.

The event is open to the public.

NASP PWD pitches in to make NOLF ready for F-35s From NASP PWD

A project recently completed by Public Works Department (PWD) Pensacola has made Naval Outlying Field (NOLF) Choctaw safe for landings by the Navy’s new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF).

NOLF Choctaw was closed temporarily due to the foreign objects or debris (FOD) created by spalls in the runway landing areas. Spalls are small broken areas in the concrete pads generating small pieces of concrete which can damage aircraft and their engines.

PWD Pensacola was tasked to repair 60 spalls in the runway and scrape more than 30,000 square feet of loose paint at NOLF Choctaw. It required using the use of a walk-behind saw and heavy equipment to remove damaged concrete sections. The project required several weeks to complete, starting Nov. 21 and finishing Dec. 31, 2013. Military aircraft from Eglin Air Force base, NAS Whiting Field and NAS Pensacola can now resume training operations.

Constructed in Santa

Rosa County near the Blackwater River’s entrance into Pensacola Bay, this particular runway is vital to several training squadrons including training and testing for the new Joint Strike Fighter.

NOLF Choctaw has the paint markings and the lighting to simulate an air craft carrier, so aircraft and pilots can simulate carrier landings ashore.

It is also used by the Blue Angels for air show rehearsals. The field is also available in case of an emergency landing for NASP PWD workers fixing runways at NOLF Choctaw include Michael Hencommercial aircraft as ingburg (lead mechanic), William Peckham, Alan Aho (in foreground finishing concrete), Dudley Steadham and Lane Stallworth.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – The Center for Personal and Professional Development (CPPD) is temporarily expanding the availability of tuition assistance (TA) for Sailors.

CPPD’s Virtual Education Center (VEC) will start authorizing command-approved TA requests for classes that have a start date in the second quarter of FY-14, which ends March 31, according to Capt.

John Newcomer, CPPD’s commanding officer.

“We strongly believe that Sailors who take the initiative to develop personally and professionally through Navy voluntary education programs are better equipped with strong analytical skills and the ability to make informed decisions that benefit their command and the Navy,” he said.

TA requests for the FY-14 second

quarter will be approved in the order they are received on a “first come, first served” basis for as long as TA funds are available, said Newcomer. TA requests will be authorized up to a total expenditure cap of approximately $23 million for the second quarter.

The second quarter of each fiscal year historically has the highest demand for TA funding, said Newcomer.

Newcomer emphasized that Sailors are responsible to know the status of the TA request before they begin any class. “Sailors must ensure their TA requests are command approved, in the WebTA system, and authorized by the VEC before their class start date. If any of these three criteria aren’t met, Sailors should contact the VEC or servicing Navy College Office regarding the status of their TA request before their class begins.”

The VEC is open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Navy Lodge shares community support with Ornaments for Troops for service members

By Demetria Bitjoka Administrative Assistant Navy Gateway Inn & Suites

Each year the staff of NAS Pensacola’s Unaccompanied Housing works with local schools in an effort to bring a little holiday cheer to the halls of our barracks through a pro-

gram called Ornaments for Troops.

In its fourth year, Ornaments for Troops brought the holiday light of joy into the halls that house young warfighter who are far from their loved ones.

And the program is expanding.

During the holidays, ornaments and cards flowed in

from seven schools in the area.

The community support for student residents included handcrafted decorations made by students of local elementary schools including Myrtle Grove, Hellen Caro, Oakcrest, Blue Angel, Pleasant Grove, Warrington and Navy Point.

The trees reflected the love

of a community that is closely connected to the military and brightened the public areas of barracks buildings temporarily called home by “A” school students aboard NAS Pensacola.

Many of these elementary schools educate families of service members both active and retired, showing just how

strong the connection between armed force generations can be.

After the trees are decorated by the residents a memory book is created and sent to the participating schools so children can know the impact they have on others who serve our country.

NAS Pensacola service members pose with their Christmas trees at NASP Unacccompanied Housing, to thank and return local children’s wishes for holiday cheer.

Tuition from page 1

(ET) Monday through Friday. Sailors can reach the VEC by phone at (877) 838-1659 or (757) 492-4684, or DSN at 492-4684. The VEC e-mail address is VEC@navy.mil.

TA is the Navy’s educational financial assistance program available to both Navy officer and enlisted active duty per-

sonnel and Navy reservists on continuous active duty. It funds tuition costs for courses taken in an off-duty status at a college, university or vocational/ technical institution, whose regional or national accreditation is recognized by the Department of Education and has a signed Department of Defense Memorandum of Un-

derstanding.

CPPD is responsible for providing a wide range of personal and professional development courses and materials, including General Military Training, Navy instructor training, alcohol and drug awareness program training, suicide and sexual assault prevention, bystander intervention, and personal responsibility

classes. CPPD’s required leadership training is delivered multiple times throughout a Sailor’s career via command-delivered enlisted leadership training material and officer leadership courses in a schoolhouse setting.

CPPD also administers the Navy’s voluntary education program, which provides Sailors with the opportunity to

earn college degrees.

CPPD additionally manages the United Services Military Apprenticeship Program (USMAP), which offers Sailors the opportunity to earn civilian apprenticeship certifications.

Navy Cash/Marine Cash cardholders are protected from Target data breach From NavSup

Princess Reada update: NASP bobcat doing well, cast on broken limb is off ... A badly injured bobcat rescued in mid-November from NAS Pensacola’s A.C. Read Golf Course is mending nicely, according to Dorothy Kaufmann of the Wildlife Sanctuary of Northwest Florida. Named Princess Reada, the cat suffered from a broken limb and dehydration when it was found and transported to the sanctuary by NASP Public Works Department staffers.

“Princess Reada was finally moved outside Jan. 3,” Kaufmann said recently.

“It has been tough on her to stay confined long enough for the break to heal.

With people you can tell them to be careful; don’ t lift anything, don’t climb, don’t put weight on a broken limb. However, with animals, all you can do is restrict movement in some manner. The female juvenile bobcat has spent four weeks in a cast, and two and a half weeks with no cast, but restricted from bouncing around. (Jan. 3) was her day to play for the first time in weeks.” Dr. Tommy Knight from Westside Animal Hospital has overseen the cat’s care. Princess Reada’s release day or site will not be made public.

Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla.: A Bicentennial Defense Community Commanding Officer — Capt. Keith Hoskins Public Affairs Officer — Harry C. White The Gosport nameplate pays homage to the 100th anniversary of naval aviation in 2011: the Centennial of Naval Aviation, or CONA. The image on the left side of the nameplate depicts Eugene Ely taking off in a Curtiss pusher bi-plane from the USS Pennsylvania Jan. 18, 1911.

While Ely had taken off from the USS Birmingham two months earlier after his plane had been loaded on the ship, the USS Pennsylvania event was the first time a plane landed on and then took off from a U.S. warship.

The image on the right side is the Navy’s most modern fighter aircraft, the F-18 Super Hornet.

Established in 1921 as the Air Station News, the name Gosport was adopted in 1936. A gosport was a voice tube used by flight instructors in the early days of naval aviation to give instructions and directions to their students. The name “Gosport” was derived from Gosport, England (originally God’s Port), where the voice tube was invented.

WASHINGTON (NNS) – Navy officials said Sailors and Marines who used their Navy Cash/Marine Cash cards at any United States Target stores between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15, 2013, are not liable for any transactions that occur as a result of the unauthorized access to card data reported by Target Corporation in December.

Navy Cash/Marine Cash cardholders affected by the breach are protected by the card networks and Regulation E (http://www.cfpb.gov/), which sets rules, liabilities, and procedures for electronic funds transfers and establishes customer protections associated with using electronic funds transfers.

“We partner with the U.S. Department of the Treasury and its financial agent to manage the Navy Cash/Marine Cash program,” said Naval Supply Systems Command (NavSup) Commander Rear Adm. Jonathan Yuen. “Data reports show 58 cardholders used their Navy Cash/Marine Cash cards at Target stores during the affected period. These accounts have been flagged and are being monitored for unusual activity.”

Disbursing officers on ships with members impacted by the breach are being notified to issue new cards to affected cardholders.

Chicken soup is perfect prescription for crazy day

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist

No sooner did I drop my husband off at the airport, than I felt the tickle at the back of my throat.

He was off on a Navy trip to Bahrain for a couple of weeks, leaving me in charge of the house, the bills, the children, the dog, the trash, the leaves, our son’s college applications, our daughter’s inevitable fashion crises and my own mental and physical wellbeing. So, this was the last thing I needed.

By the time I got home from the airport, the tickle had upgraded to a full-blown head cold. One of those throat-itching, eye-watering, lungwheezing, phlegm-thickening, mucus-dripping, sinus-filling afflictions; that compels you to guzzle cold medicine and bury yourself under the covers, because you’re going to be totally useless.

But being useless was not an option. Before the 3 p.m. middle school pick up, I had to walk the dog, have a mammogram, shop for groceries, iron my son’s dress shirts, start my column, return a few e-mails, walk the dog again, get something out for dinner, and try to take a shower and

Head cold or no head cold, I had to be firing on all pistons.

I decided to make one minor adjustment to my jampacked schedule that might

ease the pain of functioning while sick: I’d take five minutes and throw some chicken soup on the stove before heading out to my 9:30 a.m. mammogram appointment.

In a flash, I had onions and carrots chopped and sautéing in a pan, alongside my old Revereware soup pot, which was simmering with chicken and spices. Next, I plopped four ribs of celery on the cutting board and began slicing.

I was coming to the end of the bunch when, shshshwing!

There it was – the very tip of my thumb laying neatly on the edge of the cutting board.

The next few seconds were a slow-motion controlled panic. I watched my uncut hand reach for the severed cap of flesh and place it back on the tip of my thumb, albeit crooked, and unravel multiple sheets of paper towels to wrap my bleeding appendage. I flicked the stove off, grabbed my purse, and jumped into my minivan, mumbling to myself, “it’s gonna be fine, it’s gonna be fine, it’s gonna be fine.”

“Hi, I’m here for a mammogram (nervous laughter) ... you’re never going to believe this (nervous laughter) ... I just cut the tip of my thumb clean

off,” I jabbered to the lady behind the base clinic check in desk. Despite a convincing look of utter apathy, the woman directed me to a nurse who preliminarily wrapped my thumb and told me the doctor would take a look right after my mammogram.

As the adage goes, you learn something new every day, and on this particular day, I learned that it’s nearly impossible to unhook your own bra strap with one hand.

Somehow, I was able to get the task done like some kind of awkward high school boy on prom night just before the technician came in to squash my bits and pieces between two glass plates. After several painfully humiliating images were procured, I was free to dress and head back across the clinic to see about my bleeding thumb.

With my bra strap precari-

ously fastened, I waited for the nurse, then the doctor, then the nurse again, then the doctor again, before my thumb was finally treated, and I was released to go wait all over again for a tetanus shot at immunizations and for medication in the pharmacy.

Four hours after entering the clinic doors, I left with a bandaid on my arm, wilted mammories, a thumb that looked more like a chicken drumstick, and a completely neglected to do list.

Despite the chaos, I felt compelled to finish my chicken soup, needing it now more than ever. At dinnertime, I ladled the hot soothing elixir into bowls, careful not to slosh any broth onto my bandages, and placed them on the table with a box of oyster crackers.

The children and I sat in silence, inhaling the salty steam, blowing gently on spoonfuls.

“I can’t believe you made this soup with all that craziness going on today, Mom,” my middle schooler said with a compassionate slurp.

“Mmmm,” she mumbled with her mouth full. “It’s still really good, Mom.” Yes, it certainly is.

17 Sailors chosen for frocking Story, photos by Ens. Emily Hegarty NASWF PAO

O

fficials at Naval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) in Milton recognized the professional advancement of 17 Sailors Dec. 9 at a frocking ceremony.

Following the formal reading of the advancement letter for each rate, NASWF Commanding Officer Capt. Matthew Coughlin presented each selectee with a personalized frocking letter and congratulations.

Sailors were then joined on stage by family members and shipmates, who pinned new insignias onto their collars.

The frocking honor is a Navy tradition whereby the selectee is authorized to assume the title, professional responsibilities, and wear the uniform of the next rate prior to the Sailor’s formal promotion.

Although the frocking distinction is granted in advance of formal promotion, Coughlin emphasized that the obligations of elevated rank became incumbent with immediate effect.

“Your appointment carries with it the obligation that you exercise increased authority and willingly accept greater responsibility. Occupying now a position of great authority, you must strive with a renewed

dedication toward the valued ideal of service with honor,” read the certificate.

The Sailors are authorized these privileges in advance of formal promotion on the basis of superior performance of duty and exhibition of exemplary character.

Coughlin thanked the Sailors at the ceremony for the hard work that lead to their advancement. He also emphasized the role that support networks provided by family, friends, and co-workers play in a service member’s career, thanking family and friends in attendance for their encouragement and explaining that achievements such as this wouldn’t have been possible without their help.

Second class petty officers were frocked to first class, third class petty officers were frocked to second class and airmen were frocked to third class.

Sailors who were selected for advancement to petty officer first class included: AB2 Reynaldo Colasito, AB2

AC3 John Carmichael receives his new insignia during the frocking ceremony Dec. 9. Carmichael was one of 17 NAS Whiting Field Sailors recognized.

Matthew Ashurst, AB2 Derek Faust, AB2 Michael Flosi, AB2 Charleston Hines, AB2 Carlos Londono, AB2 Joseph Nicolass, AB2 Abraham Sanchez, AB2 Magdalena Serrano and AB2 Marlon Squires.

AC3 Jake Black, AC3 Jesus Vivanco and IT3 Camille Faison were selected for advancement to petty officer second class.

Vivanco, who enjoyed the double distinction of promotion and recent selection as NAS Whiting Field Junior Sailor of the Quarter for the Third Quarter of 2013, derived great satisfaction from the occasion, and was quick to point out the support he had received that helped lead him to success.

“Everybody in this command – my chiefs,

peers, and civilians – have not only trained me but also guided me in the right direction. I will keep on paying it forward,” he said.

Sailors from NAS Whiting Field who were selected for advancement to petty officer third class included: ACAN John Carmichael; ACAN Alexandrea Coy; ACAN Christian Glover; and ACAN Bryan Madden.

NAS Whiting Field CMC Alton Smith congratulated Sailors on their promotions, and praised their focus and determination.

“These Sailors have helped the base to achieve an advancement rate well above the fleet average,” he said, a testament to the caliber of the sailors onboard Whiting Field.

Physical fitness: Make a contract with yourself From Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs

ILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) – An exercise physiologist from the Navy Physical Readiness Office encourages Sailors to make small changes to their exercise plan in order to maximize success.

Many people look at the new year as a time to set goals and make grand resolutions to get physically fit. However, most resolutions fail within days or weeks. According to Lt. Cmdr.

Austin Latour, an exercise physiologist with the Navy Physical Readiness Office, making small changes in an exercise plan now can make a big difference.

“The most important thing to do is write it down,” said Latour.

“Make a plan, then write it down, it can be pretty simple, the days you’d like to exercise, how much time you want to put into it, what type of activity you want to do.”

Writing a plan down can be the key to success.

“Once you write it down you’re making a contract with yourself,” said Latour. “It’s human nature to want to adhere to a contract and actually do

what you’ve written down. You should try some new things to find something that you like to do though. If you don’t like what you’re doing even writing it down won’t lead to success.”

It is important to work within one’s ability level and not get hurt.

“If you are not active now, start with some low-impact,

If you are more physically fit, you can do more weight bearing activities. If you are a beginner and you want to do a group activity, start with a beginning group activity.

“If you’ve been running for a long time and are comfortable with it, consider a running club,” said Latour. “Take your activity

Plan for getting and staying healthy in the new year (NAPS) – The new year is a perfect time to focus on family and friends, not food. It’s also an important time to move more and eat better.

To help, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, offers the following tips so you can stay fit in 2014: Time management • Plan and prepare meals and snacks. Shop ahead of time for ingredients. Reach for quick snacks that are healthy, such as whole-grain crackers or veggies with low-fat dip.

• Go for a walk after a

meal. Run some errands or take a quick stroll where you work or live.

This may help get some items checked off your “to do” list and clear your mind.

• Set goals for healthy eating and physical activity. Motivate yourself with fun activities that you can do with others.

Physical activity • Be active every day and make time for physical activity. Work activity into your day, whether by parking farther away from stores to do your holiday shopping or walking around the mall or outdoor shops one full time before you buy anything.

NASC instructor dives into water survival training Story, photo

by Ens. Riley Cornett NETC PAO

Seeking to fulfill her dream of leading Sailors as a naval officer, PR2(AW/SW) Danae Slaton had finished one year of community college in her hometown of Riverside, Calif., but did not have the means to continue her education; so at 19 years of age she joined the enlisted ranks as an airman apprentice.

Today, less than six years later at 25, Slaton has led many Sailors while nearing completion of her degree using Navy tuition assistance.

“As a survival instructor at Naval Aviation School Command (NASC) I have trained 3,520 students including aircrew, Aviation Preflight Indoctrination students, and land survival students, as well as Sailors becoming instructors,” said Slaton, course curriculum model manager (CCMM) and master training specialist (MTS) coordinator for the NASC Aviation Survival Department onboard NAS Pensacola. “I take the training of each student very seriously because they need to know how to survive if they ever have to bail out of their aircraft or fall off a ship.

As a high risk training instructor, I teach courses that go far beyond lectures and include using the pool environment to simulate deep water evolutions.”

Naval operations often require aggressive training programs to prepare personnel to perform mission essential high risk tasks in a variety of environments, such

PR2(AW/SW) Danae Slaton, master training specialist coordinator and course curriculum model manager for Naval Aviation School Command’s Aviation Survival Department, oversees swimming technique and times a Sailor as he retrieves a brick from the bottom of the pool at NASP’s Aviation Rescue Swimmer School.

The brick retrieval test is the first test for the course which qualifies graduates to administer the second class swim qualification test.

as survival training.

Not giving up on her dream of becoming a naval officer, in her off duty time Slaton takes college courses and is nearing completion of a bachelor’s degree in networking security.

Master training specialist and AWCS Ted Page, the survival department leading chief petty officer has been Slaton’s supervisor since she came on board NASC. “You don’t get many Sailors like her; she’s a hard charger and volunteers for everything,” said Page. “She does an outstanding job and has definitely earned her chain of command’s respect.

What I like about her most is she really connects with the Sailors she is training and motivates them while keeping training in-

teresting and applying fleet experience; the students really listen to her. She’s a great leader and she takes new instructors under her wing and thoroughly explains to them the responsibility they have and the impact that they can make as an instructor.”

According to Page, Slaton’s contributions, along with her display of professionalism and proficiency during her first year here at NASC led to her selection as the 2012 Junior Sailor of the Year.

“Upon arrival, Slaton got qualified as an instructor and showed professionalism in being fair and showing respect across the board in training junior enlisted and junior officers alike,” Page continued. “As an instructor, Slaton is the cream of the crop for us. In addition to training students, she

gained her Master Training Specialist (MTS) qualification in the minimum amount of time which allowed her to train instructors as well as students.”

Page explained that he has given Slaton additional responsibilities due to the confidence he has gained in her ability to sustain her exceptional performance while working at an accelerated pace.

“She has acquired a lot of knowledge and Sailors see her as a subject matter expert,” said Page. “She got certified in land survival and has taught the signaling and recovery class as well. Soon after I appointed her as the command MTS assistant coordinator she made a very significant contribution by initiating a training program which provided officers and enlisted valuable MTS training that directly contributed to staff members achieving their MTS certification in minimal time. Six months later, I appointed her to the Aviation Survival Department’s Course Curriculum Model Manager (CCMM) Division. The CCMM division has already gained the confidence to hand work off to her with very little need for guidance, oversight or correction and she has made changes that streamlined their processes.”

The MTS program is a voluntary program designed to develop and qualify those individuals who possess advanced knowledge, skills, and abilities that will enhance the delivery of quality education and training in the Navy. Individuals

who are designated as an MTS are expected to take a leadership role and mentor, instruct, and evaluate other instructors and develop curricula products.

Slaton said she chooses to lead others by example.

“My goal of becoming an officer has helped motivate me to strive for excellence and stay focused in all my efforts,” explained Slaton. “I am driven by my desire to lead and mentor others to reach their goals.

Knowing that my efforts can impact others by bettering their future inspires me. I try to impress upon students that goal setting really does work and the combination of putting in extra effort, volunteering for extra tasks, and presenting yourself professionally really makes a difference in your Navy career success.”

While some individuals in their twenties may get wrapped up in a whirl of social activities, Slaton remains focused on balancing her career, family and fitness.

“My marriage this year is the most memorable event in my life and my husband is very supportive and proud of my Navy career,” said Slaton. “Balancing spending time with family along with achieving all of my occupational goals and college course work is important to me. In order to stay centered and focused I maintain a proper diet and exercise six days per week. Working out relieves my stress and focusing on fitness has kept me away from clubs and alcohol. I find if I don’t physically feel good it is very hard to be productive.”

Navy 311 call center ready to serve Sailors and their families From Sea Warrior Program (PMW 240) PAO

WASHINGTON, D.C. (NNS) – It was midnight in the Indian Ocean with a storm bearing down; poor timing to lose access to the carrier’s Intelink Website.

Relive history at Fort Pickens

By Janet Thomas

Gosport Staff Writer

Walking through the ruins of Fort Pickens is a treat for anyone interested in military history.

But if you want to see what it was actually like to live there during the Civil War, you should be making your plan of attack to hang out with other history buffs at Fort Pickens this weekend.

National Park officials are presenting a free Living History Camp that will feature candlelight tours.

The hours will be 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. tomorrow, Jan. 11, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jan. 12. You need to arrive no later than 8 p.m. tomorrow to take the self-guided tour. Candles will be burning in the fort, and flashlights are allowed.

As an extra attraction, reenactors in uniform are scheduled to conduct a period “Colors” ceremony at 9 a.m. tomorrow and Sunday and a “retreat” ceremony at 5 p.m. tomorrow. Company drill demonstrations will be conducted at 10

a.m. and 3:30 p.m. tomorrow and again at 10 a.m. Sunday. A rangerled tour of Fort Pickens is scheduled for 2 p.m. tomorrow and Sunday.

The activities are free, but the regular $8-per vehicle admission fee to the park will be collected at the gate. Also, carpooling is encouraged because of limited parking.

Costumed reenactors will be stationed around the fort answering visitor questions and providing information about Pensacola during the Civil War. Begun in 1829 and completed in 1834, Fort Pickens is the largest of four forts built to defend Pensacola Bay and its Navy yard.

It was one of four forts in the South that was never occupied by Confederate forces during the Civil War. Federal forces defeated Confederate troops during the Battle of Santa Rosa Island about a mile east of the fort in October 1861, and Confederate troops withdrew from positions around Pensacola Bay in May 1862 after heavy bombard-

ments.

With modifications and additions, the fort remained in use from the 1890s through World War II, when such fortifications became obsolete. The fort became part of Gulf Islands National Seashore in 1971, and following extensive repairs it was reopened in 1976.

If you get to Fort Pickens this weekend, you should keep it on your list of places to go.

Free America the Beautiful National Parks and Federal Recreation Lands annual passes are available for active-duty military. For more information, go to http://store.usgs. gov/pass/index.html.

And Gulf Islands National Seashore officials recently announced the 2014 list of fee-free days: Jan. 20, Martin Luther King Jr. Day; Feb.1-17, Presidents Day weekend; April 19-20, National Park Week’s opening weekend; Aug. 25, National Park Service’s 98th birthday; Sept. 27, National Public Lands Day; and Nov. 11, Veterans Day.
