ROK training commander visits NASP Story, photo

by Ens. James A. Griffin Naval Education and Training Command Public Affairs

Rear Adm. Mike White, commander, Naval Education Training Command (NETC) was host to the Republic of Korea (ROK) Navy commander of Naval Education and Training, Vice Adm. Jin-Sup Jung, during a visit to Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola Mar. 3.

The visit began with a discussion about U.S. Navy training at NETC’s headquarters, followed by visits to area training facilities. White and Jung discussed new methods in training Sailors being used in the NETC domain such as eTablets and smart phones.

“Our naval forces are stronger when we operate jointly and together with allies and partners, and that includes sharing training with our partners,” said White.

Naval Air Technical Training Center participates in PSC career expo From Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training PAO

Twenty Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) Sailors volunteered to explain their jobs in the Navy during a Pensacola-area career expo Feb. 23-24 at Pensacola State College’s (PSC) Pensacola campus.

The Sailors, all NATTC instructors teaching aviation ordnance, electrician, electronics and aircraft handling courses at the largest Navy “A” School facility, spent two days describing their jobs to more than 3,000 Escambia and Santa Rosa county middle- and high school-age children during the Worlds of

Possibilities Career Expo.

NATTC Executive Officer Cmdr. Scott Sherman said the SkillsUSA event, sponsored by PSC, the Greater Pensacola Chamber, Visit Pensacola and Gulf Power, allowed Sailors teaching aviation technical jobs the opportunity to share their experiences with the teens who

one day could choose to serve in the Navy.

“Showcasing what we do at NATTC and enlightening young adults preparing to enter the workforce on the exciting career opportunities offered by the Navy is a great opportunity for the NATTC staff,” Sherman said.

The Worlds of Possibilities Expo was organized by Skills USA, a nationally recognized program that serves as a partnership between students, teachers and industry. Fourth Annual SkillsUSA Worlds of Possibilities Career Expo showcased See Expo on page 2

Reminder to Blues-watchers: NAS Pensacola access procedures have changed From NASP PAO

Spring is almost here, and with the change of seasons, the Blue Angels are due to return soon. A reminder to the Blues’ practice watchers: NAS Pensacola’s access procedures have changed.

All unescorted visitors NAS Pensacola to (NASP) heading to the National Naval Aviation

Museum, Fort Barrancas and Pensacola Lighthouse who do not possess a DoD identification card, will be required to enter the installation via the west gate (Blue Angel Parkway).

The changes were announced during a press conference Jan. 25 by NAS Pensacola Commanding Officer, Capt.

Keith Hoskins, and the National Naval Aviation

Museum director, retired Navy Capt. Sterling Gilliam.

NAS Pensacola’s main gate (Navy Boulevard) will be open to all employees, military and DoD cardholders, as well as previously vetted personnel who possess a

valid visitor’s pass. Unescorted visitors to Barrancas National Cemetery will be vetted upon arrival at the Visitors Inform a t i o n Center, Bldg.

The theater will continue to show educational and feature films, seven showings daily. Primarily dedicated to the large screen, the 325-seat theater also has multimedia, multipurpose capability and has been the site for a broad range of presentations, from lectures to choral groups to ballet.

The lobby will also receive a facelift with new amenities and a

“We have a great training partnership with the ROK Navy and this visit was a valuable opportunity to build on that relationship.”

Jung was supportive of the partnership.

“I hope that we can visit each other every other year to help strengthen the U.S. and Korean relationship,” said Jung.

During the tour of the Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) Jung and his staff observed how avionics technicians, aircraft mechanics and air traffic controllers are trained for the fleet. NATTC graduates approximately 15,000 Navy and Marine students each year. The largest part of this student body is comprised of enlisted personnel attending apprentice “A” schools designed to provide them with the knowledge and skill levels required to perform as technicians at the apprentice level.

Jung and his staff were also shown the multiplace underwater egress training, or helo dunker, in the Naval Survival Training Institute’s (NSTI) Aircrew Water Survival pool. HM1 Walter J. Bedell demonstrated some of the exercises all aviation students must complete as part of their training.

“I think they were really impressed with the helo dunker,” said Bedell. “It’s more of an immersive training that students will remember for the rest of their life.

I still have people come back after years to show their families this specific training they went through.

“I think it’s important to have a strong relationship with the ROK (Navy),” said Bedell. “Training increases the readiness of both navies to efficiently carry out operations throughout the globe.”

From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

WASHINGTON (NNS) –The Chief of Naval Personnel released guidance March 9 outlining changes to the Navy’s Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) program, announced last fall, that are critical for the fleet to understand.

The updated implementation guidance detailed in NavAdmin 061/16 is effective immediately and lists several changes to the Physical Fitness Assessment, including specific Body ComposiAssessment (BCA) tion procedures and measurement rules for Command Fitness Leaders (CFL), guidance for commanding officers concerning how to establish a spot check program, and new scoring tables.

The new BCA consists of a three-step process. The first measurement uses the current height/weight tables. If in stanExpo from page 1

In addition to the Navy aviation jobs demonstrated at the event, Baptist Hospital displayed gaming-style technology used to educate staff and students on cancer variations and treatments and Pensacola State College’s Veterinary Technician program showcased exotic animals.

NATTC instructors had numerous items from the various aviation ratings taught at NATTC on display, answered questions about the equipment displayed, and shared their experiences in the Navy. Air Training Department brought firefighting suits, a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), and aviation fuel training equipment. Mechanical Training Department brought survival vests, pilot helmets, flight suits, a backpack parachute assembly, an inert AIM-9X Sidewinder Missile training aid, and hydraulic servo cutaways. Avionics Training Department brought circuit schematics, electrical switches and a multi-meter.

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.

dards, Sailors will pass the PFA. If an individual fails to meet those standards, a single-site abdominal circumference measurement will be conducted. The final opportunity for Sailors to pass the BCA will be a test using the previous system of neck and waist measurements to calculate body fat percentages. Sailors will pass the BCA by meeting the DoD maximum allowable body fat limit of less than or equal to 26 percent for males or 36 percent for females.

If a Sailor fails the BCA, it will constitute an overall PFA failure.

Additionally, individuals will be evaluated by a medical provider, enrolled in the Fitness Enhancement Program (FEP), and provided nutritional counseling.

Sailors who are medically cleared to take the PRT must also participate in the test regardless of BCA results, and will face separation from the Navy if they fail two PFAs in a three-year period,

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.

Gosport is an authorized newspaper published every Friday by Ballinger Publishing,

a change from previous rules.

Additionally, commanding officers are now empowered to conduct BCA spot check programs to ensure Sailors are staying within standards. This moves the Navy beyond a two-test-a-year system, by giving commands the ability to identify Sailors in need of additional support without subjecting them to administrative punishments that result from an actual BCA/PRT failure.

Last, the message also explains the administrative steps that commands will take to close out the records from Cycle 2, 2015, specifically for the group of Sailors that need letters of correction for exceeding BCA standards, were in a deployed/ operational status, medically waived, or pregnant during the PFA cycle.

AEC Ryan Cazire feels events such as this help to strengthen the Navy's relationship with the local community and hopefully inspire young adults to consider a career in the military.

“We are part of this community, and we live and work here,” Cazire said. “I take great pride in showing our neighbors what we do and explaining our jobs to someone who might wear the same uniform as me one day. Maybe we sparked some interest in someone who had never considered a career in the Navy before today.”

Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT) Interactive Multimedia Instruction Manager and one of the 2016 Worlds of Possibilities organizers Lance McClure said both NATTC and CNATT involvement in the project began three years ago.

“Civilian organizations that teach aviation maintenance were participating and it seemed the Navy was missing out,” he said. “Additionally, the event aligns with CNATT and NATTC as most of the skill providers represented are certified by the Council on Occupational Education (COE) which happens to be the organization that certifies CNATT and our Learning Sites.”

Your best picture pick could be in box, bargain bin

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist

Somewhere in our basement, there is a box of VHS tapes. Relics from the days when our children loved “The Aristocats,” “Toy Story,” “Spot” and “Barney.”

Their sticky little hands could pop those tapes into the TV/VCR combo without needing mom’s help. Well, as long as there was not a waffle or a Barbie shoe in the VCR already.

If we let them, they would watch one after the other – “Pocahontas,” “The Great Mouse Detective,” “Sesame Street Sing-a-long” and “Babe” – leaving the tapes lying about unwound and out of their jackets. But we limited the children’s TV time, only allowing marathons when they were sick.

Even so, it was alarming how much the children memorized. Anna could perform a perfectly accurate but off-key version of “A Whole New World,” and Lilly spoke flawless Swahili when belting out “Hakuna Matata.” Our oldest, Hayden, who was diagnosed with autism, could repeat entire 30 minute “Arthur” scripts even though he had a

severe language delay.

These movies even seeped into our adult psyches, at times rendering us babbling fools instead of responsible parents. We would catch ourselves singing “… Barney can be your friend too if you just make believe him!” in the shower, or mumbling “Dora, Dora, Dora the explorer …” while waiting in the car pool line.

By the time Hayden reached fifth grade, the VHS tapes had been watched dozens and dozens of times.

The words and tunes were forever burned into our brains, and our VCR was nearly burned out.

It was time for us to move on.

We decided to introduce our children to real movies.

Movies with real people and stories that would teach them life lessons.

One rainy afternoon, we found some ’80s classics from our childhood in a discount DVD bin at the mall. “Karate Kid,” “Pretty in Pink,” “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Footloose,” “Sixteen Candles” and “The Breakfast Club.”

We lined the children up on the couch: Hayden, 12, who was frankly still happy watch-

As if we were passing down

the ancient wisdom of their elders, we explained why the ’80s movies they were about to see weren’t just entertainment, they were a visual manifesto for teen angst and adolescent rebellion. Without computers and internet access, we were trapped in the bubble of our high schools and hometowns. Music, television and movies were our only escape.

Seeing our frustrations and dreams played out by actors like Andrew McCarthy, Molly Ringwald and Ralph Macchio was liberating.

“I’m hungry!” Hayden whined.

“I wanna watch the one with the cute boy on the front,” Anna demanded. “ ’Scuse me,” Lilly giggled, apparently having expelled some form of gas.

We were losing them, so we quickly loaded “The Breakfast Club” into the DVD player.

Having not seen the film in a while, we forgot some details. We remembered the inspiring story of five stereotypical high school students who entered detention with nothing in common and left eight hours later with a new understanding of themselves and each other. But we

completely forgot about those same children smoking pot, cussing, making out in the janitor’s closet and admitting to drinking alcohol, compulsive lying and nymphomania.

Oh, and the “R” rating.

Whoopsie.

Thankfully, Hayden had fallen asleep and Lilly was on the floor with her dolls. Only Anna had watched the whole movie, and she had her head buried deep in the couch cushions.

After prying Anna from the couch and drying her tears, we learned that, despite her insistence that she was “not a little girl anymore,” her innocent brain was not ready for teenage reality.

We went back to our tattered VHS tapes for the next few years. Anna eventually gave “The Breakfast Club” another try. And now as a senior in high school, it is, ironically, her favorite flick.

Whether a movie wins an Oscar or ends up in the bargain bin at the mall, it’s our life experiences that connect us to the characters and allow us to appreciate their stories.

There’s no need to go to the box office, because the best picture might just be in a box in the basement.

Medal of Honor awardee inducted into Pentagon’s Hall of Heroes

By April Grant Navy Office of Information

W

ASHINGTON (NNS) – SOCS (SEAL) Edward C. Byers Jr. joined the more than 3,460 other Medal of Honor recipients listed in the Pentagon’s Hall of Heroes March 1, during an induction ceremony in the Pentagon Auditorium.

One day after receiving the Medal of Honor from President Barack Obama, Byers was honored with a commemorative plaque that will be displayed within the hall. Byers is being recognized for his valiant rescue efforts during a hostage situation in Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in December 2012.

Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson spoke at the event.

Work opened the ceremony saying Byers embodied the “remarkable heroism” and “selfless bravery” common to all special operators in the field.

“Your selfless and heroic actions in the face of a determined enemy read like a Hollywood

script,” he said. “Your story represents the very best of military men and women ... and the limitless things that I know you and your teammates will continue to do in the future.”

Mabus echoed Work’s sentiments. “I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of a ceremony that recognizes a Sailor. His loyalty to the mission to rescue an American citizen is selflessness in its purest sense,” he said. He also thanked Byers’ family – his wife Madison, daughter Hannah, mother Peggy – and Byers’ team members for their continued support.

Richardson said Byers’ actions were “emblematic of this generation’s dedication to the Navy core values: honor, courage and commitment,” adding that he will serve as “an inspiration” for

memorative Hall of Heroes plaque and the Medal of Honor Flag.

As family and supporters looked on, Byers took to the podium and spoke of his admiration for his fellow teammates, as well as for all members of the Special Forces community who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

“I, along with many of my teammates, have been to many funerals at Arlington (National Cemetery). We have seen too many good men buried,” he said.

“Many may ask, ‘What is it that keeps you going in the face of so much death?’ ” Without a question, he said, it’s the brotherhood.

“I’m no different than any one of my teammates. I’m certain any one of them would take the same actions I did that day ... I proudly wear this trident to represent the brotherhood,” he added.

The Hall of Heroes is dedicated to the more than 3,460 recipients of the Medal of Honor.

Along the walls of the room are the names of each recipient. All three versions of the Medal of Honor – the Army, Sea Service (Marine Corps, Navy and Coast Guard), and Air Force – are displayed in the Hall of Heroes. An asterisk next to some names represents service members who received two Medals of Honor for two separate acts of bravery.

Dots are used to signify Marines who were under the command of the Army during World War I

and received both the Army and Sea Service versions of the Medal of Honor for a single act of bravery.

Byers was born in Toledo, Ohio, and began his naval career in 1998 as a hospital corpsman.

Following graduation from Hospital Corpsman School at Great Lakes, he completed the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL course and the Special Operations Combat Medic course in 2003.

He served at Great Lakes Naval Hospital, 2nd Battalion and 2nd Marine Regiment at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, as well as East Coast SEAL teams, and completed 11 overseas deployments with nine combat tours. Byers was promoted to the rank of senior chief petty officer in January 2016.

Byers’ personal decorations include the Bronze Star with Valor (five awards), the Purple Heart (two awards), the Joint Service Commendation Medal with Valor, the Navy Commendation Medal (three awards, one with Valor), the Combat Action ribbon (two awards) and the Good Conduct Medal (five awards). He is only the 11th living service member to be awarded the Medal of Honor for gallantry displayed in Afghanistan.

Navy celebrates 2016 Women’s History Month From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

W

ASHINGTON (NNS) – The Navy joins the nation in celebrating Women’s History Month throughout March.

This year, Navy commands are encouraged to celebrate and reflect on the theme “Working to Form a More Perfect Honoring Union: Women in Public Service and Government.”

Through service and leadership, women have been an integral part of both the Navy’s history and its future.

“Women throughout our history have endeavored to serve the flag, not looking for special treatment, prestigious awards or financial wealth, but merely for the opportunity to serve the flag itself and the great nation it represents,” said Adm. Michelle Howard, vice chief of naval operations.

Today, women comprise 18 percent of the Navy and are indispensable to the national security mission. There are more than 59,000 active

duty women serving in the Navy and more than 9,000 female Reservists.

Thousands of women have served alongside men in Iraq, Afghanistan and at sea, and their record of performance has been nothing less than outstanding.

After more than 10 years, Naval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) will resume flight training at Navy Outlying Landing Field (NOLF) Summerdale in Alabama beginning March 11.

The first flight is expected to arrive to the facility at approximately 10 a.m. and will be followed by a short ribbon cutting ceremony to commemorate the occasion. Baldwin County Commissioner Chris Elliott will participate with NASWF Commanding Officer Capt. Todd Bahlau in slicing the red, white and blue ribbon.

NAS Whiting Field has not utilized NOLF Summerdale regularly since 2005, but with recent construction on the facility completed, flights are due to recommence.

Construction was neces-

sitated by the installation’s replacement of the venerable T-34 Turbomentor aircraft with the T-6B Texan II beginning in 2009. The T-6B required longer runways and NOLF Barin and NOLF Summerdale were selected as the airfields best able to accommodate the extensions during a lengthy scoping process in 2010.

Since 2005 the airfield has served as a “low approach” only airfield due to the runway length restrictions.

Training Air Wing Five will commence full time training flight operations with the T-6B Texan II on March 14.

“The production of pilots for our national defense is just as important now as it was when Outlying Field Summerdale was first constructed in 1943,” Bahlau stated.

“The completion of the runway extensions at Summerdale reestablishes a key asset for our mission and will help ensure years of safe, productive flight training for our student aviators.”

Irish immigrants’ struggles, successes recalled on

St. Patrick’s Day

By Kevin Kenny http://iipdigital.usembassy.gov

rish immigrants had a rough start in the United States, stuck in urban poverty and taunted by some of their neighbors. They and their descendants overcame the obstacles and prevailed.

I

In the century after 1820, 5 million Irish immigrants came to the United States. Their presence provoked a strong reaction among certain native-born Americans, known as nativists, who denounced the Irish for their social behavior, their impact on the economy and their Catholic religion.

Nonetheless, by the early 20th century, the Irish had successfully assimilated.

All legal immigrants who subscribe to the U.S. Constitution are entitled to become U.S. citizens, and white immigrants have encountered relatively few obstacles in their attempt to do so. Despite nativist hostility, the Irish never encountered racism comparable to that inflicted on African Americans and Asians, who were excluded from citizenship or restricted from entering the United States. Turning their Catholic identity to their advantage and pursuing political opportunities unavailable in Ireland, the Irish moved steadily upward in American society.

The Irish made up almost half of all immigrants in the United States in the 1840s and one-third in the 1850s. These figures are remarkable given that Ireland is no larger than the state of Maine and its population never exceeded 8.5 million. Between 1846 and 1855, due to repeated massive failures of the potato crop, the Irish population declined by one-third. More than 1 million people died of starvation and famine-related diseases and another

1.5 million fled to the United States. Many Irish immigrants believed the famine could have been avoided. “The almighty, indeed, sent the potato blight,” the Irish nationalist and political exile John Mitchel wrote, “but the English created the famine.” At the heart of Irish-American identity thereafter was a sense of banishment and exile.

Early struggles The Irish immigrants of the famine era were the most disadvantaged the United States had ever seen. The Irish poor lived in basements, cellars and one-room apartments lacking natural light and ventilation and frequently flooded with sewage. They suffered from alarmingly high rates of cholera, yellow fever, typhus, tuberculosis and pneumonia. They also succumbed to mental illnesses, often complicated by alcohol abuse. They accounted for a greatly disproportionate number of admissions to poorhouses and public hospitals, and they topped the charts for arrests and imprisonment, especially for disorderly conduct. In New York City in 1859, for example, 55 percent of all people arrested were of Irish origin.

The Irish immigrants were mostly unskilled, worked for low wages, and were often used as substitute labor to break strikes. Native-born workers worried that their own wages would decline as a result and that gains made by organized labor would be undercut. Many Americans also feared that the Irish would never advance socially but would instead become the first permanent working class in the United States, threatening the central principle of 19th century American life: upward social mobility through hard work.

Equally disturbing to nativists was the immigrants’ religion. Would Irish Catholic immigrants ultimately be loyal to the United States or to the church in Rome? Were they beholden to their priests on political matters? Did a church headed by a pope, cardinals, archbishops and bishops have a legitimate place in a democratic republic? And why did Irish Catholic immigrants send their children to separate parochial schools rather than using the free public system? The Irish response was that the public school boards were dominated by evangelical Protestants. Freedom to cultivate their children’s faith as they saw fit, they insisted, was what the United States was all about.

Nativists launched a sustained attack on Irish immigrants because of their Catholicism. In 1834, a mob burned down the Ursuline convent

Gosling Games Color Me ‘Lucky clover’

in Charlestown, Mass. In 1844, nativist rioters burned two Catholic churches in the Philadelphia suburbs in a dispute over which Bible to teach in public schools, the Catholic one or the Protestant King James version.

Irish-American identity Rebutting accusations of divided loyalty, Irish immigrants insisted that they could become good Americans but that they would do so on their own terms. Because they spoke English and were the first Catholic group to arrive in the United States in large numbers, the Irish quickly took control of the American Catholic Church. As a popular saying put it, the church in the United States was “One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic – and Irish.” Catholicism became the single most important ingredient of Irish-American identity.

Anti-Catholicism remained part of American culture until 1960, when John F. Kennedy was elected to the presidency. The Irish had long dominated the politics of many American cities – including New York, Boston and Chicago – by controlling the local Democratic Party. In the 1920s, they began to move onto the national stage, when Al Smith became the first Catholic to run for president. Smith had little chance of being elected, but Kennedy, who was acutely conscious of his Irish heritage, finally laid to rest America’s long anti-Catholic tradition. “I am not the Catholic candidate for president,” he declared during the campaign. “I am the Democratic party’s candidate for president, who happens also to be a Catholic. I do not speak for my church on public matters – and the church does not speak for me.”

Irish immigrants became good Americans without sacrificing their religious and cultural heritage. They demonstrated that assimilation is not a one-way process in which immigrants must conform to a dominant Anglo-Protestant culture while forsaking their own traditions.

Immigrants always change the United States as much as the United States changes them. By becoming Americans in their own way, the Irish carved out a distinctive ethnic identity and helped lay the groundwork for today’s cultural pluralism in the United States.

Today the Irish are one of the most prosperous ethnic groups in the United States, significantly exceeding national averages on education levels, occupational status, income, and home ownership. In line with their steady upward social mobility during the 20th century, the American Irish moved out of the tight-knit urban communities of the Northeast and Midwest to settle in suburbs, towns and cities across the United States. They also married increasingly outside their ethnic group, first with other Catholics and then with Americans generally. The result of these developments is a much less cohesive sense of communal identity than in the past. But Irish Americans retain a strong sense of ethnic pride, especially in the realms of politics and culture. To be IrishAmerican, after all, is to be part of a national success story.

Jokes & Groaners Lost in translation A Swiss man, on holiday in Dublin, needed directions.

He was standing outside an office building when he saw two youths walking by so he stopped them and asked, “Entschuldigung, koennen sie Deutsch sprechen?”

The two lads look at each other blankly and stare back at him. “Excusez-moi, parlez vous Français?,” he tried. The two continue to stare.

“Parlare Italiano?” Still absolutely no response from the two lads. “Hablan ustedes Espanol?” The Dublin lads remained totally silent.

The Swiss man walked off extremely disappointed and downhearted that he had not been understood. One of the boys turned to the second and said, “You know, maybe we should learn a foreign language.”

“Why on Earth should we?,” said the other. “That guy knew four languages, and it didn’t do him any good.”

CNATT leadership attends team-building symposium From Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training PAO

M

ilitary and civilian members of the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training’s (CNATT) headquarters core leadership team attended a two-day workshop Feb. 23-24 at the NAS Pensacola Chief Petty Officer’s Club.

The two-day event, designed to provide the 25 attendees the opportunity to participate in discussions, review strategic priorities and propose command initiatives, has become regular for CNATT leadership development, according to CNATT Commanding Officer Capt. Terrence Hammond.

“We try to do this about every 90 to 100 days,” he said.

“This provides us an opportunity to critically assess at our strategic priorities, improve command policy, do some team training and engage with

guest speakers.”

With a geographically diverse command of more than 27 learning sites, Hammond said that in an effort to meet that type of challenge while continuing to provide top notch support for the courses for which CNATT is responsible, supporting regular and unfiltered communication is of paramount concern.

“The most important thing we do is ensure our training meets fleet requirements,” he said. “We want to ensure the right Sailor and Marine gets to

the fleet with the right training.

CNATT units and detachments are located throughout the continental United States, Hawaii and Japan, and headquarters leadership maintains constant contact with these units and detachments.”

Activities during the twoday span included guest speakers from Commander Fleet Readiness Centers, Technical Director Rich Bomhold, who presented the U.S. Navy Vision 2020 and Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) Total Force N1 Director Capt.

Susanne Mcninch, who provided a detailed presentation on NETC N1 plans, programs and initiatives. Other activities included a review of CNATT’s strategic priorities and a comprehensive review and the CNATT Standard Organization and Regulations Manual (SORM), updates on Navywide training initiatives and discussions on methods of continuing strong enterprise support and cost effective investment strategies.

Hammond added, his core leadership team remains dedicated to ensuring the continuation of naval aviation technical training remains top notch and engaging his leadership in

strategic planning will benefit the individual Sailor, Marine and ultimately the Naval Aviation Enterprise.

“What our Sailors and Marines are learning in our classrooms is technical training to support the future of naval aviation,” he said.

“What we’re planning for at meetings such as this are strategies to keep our organization innovative, agile, effective and efficient so our sites can continue provide safe, current and relevant training in support of current and future fleet readiness.”

Do you see your dentist at least twice a year for regular checkups? If so, you have an excellent chance of keeping your teeth and gums healthy for a very long time.

From City of Pensacola Information Officer

The City of Pensacola and the Blue Angels Association are partnering to commemorate the Blue Angels’ 70th anniversary milestone with a kickoff event March 21.

The event will begin with a flyover of downtown Pensacola, followed by a proclamation ceremony at 3 p.m. at the National Naval Aviation Museum aboard Naval Air Station Pensacola (NASP). “We are proud to be called the Cradle of Naval Aviation and honored to be the home of the Blue Angels,� said Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward. “Pensacolians love their Blue Angels and we are confident that they will continue to inspire

and make us proud while extending into their 70th season.�

The mission of the Blue Angels is to showcase the pride and professionalism of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps by inspiring a culture of excellence and service to country through flight demonstrations and community outreach. “Pensacola is a special place not only to the Blue Angels, but also for all naval aviators,� said Cmdr. Ryan Bernacchi, flight leader and commanding officer of the Blue Angels. “The incredible support from our community continues to be invaluable to our ability to achieve our mission of inspiring future generations, and also to be better Sailors and Marines every year.�

The Blues will return to Pen-

sacola after a rigorous winter training program, and performing at air shows in El Centro, Calif., and Lancaster, Calif. “Whether it’s the college student who is a future flag officer ... or the 12-year-old aspiring to be something great ... the Blue Angels are here to inspire,� said David Anderson, president of the Blue Angels Association. “They have motivated generations of people throughout the world and are truly an American treasure.�

The event is open to the public, however visitors who do not possess a Department of Defense (DoD) identification card or who are not escorted by a DoD ID car holder are required to enter the base via the west gate located off Blue Angel Parkway.

If you are a victim of sexual assault, it is not your fault. Help for victims of sexual assault in the DoD community is a call, click or text away: The SafeHelpline provides live, one-on-one crisis support and information by trained staff. Call: (877) 995-5247; click: www.SafeHelpline.org; or text: 55-247, CONUS; (202) 470-5546, OCONUS (may be extra charges for OCONUS).

The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program provides prevention, intervention and a 24/7/365 response to non-intimate partner adult victims of sexual assault. Active-duty and adult family member sexual assault victims have a choice of reporting options, unrestricted and restricted. Unrestricted reporting allows victim to have an advocate, seek medical care, counseling, legal services, safety interventions and/or transfer, etc. To access an unrestricted report, the victim may report to his/her chain-ofcommand, security/law enforcement, NCIS, SAPR VA, SARC, or others. NCIS shall be notified by the CO and/or the VA/SARC in unrestricted cases to begin investigation. Investigation results are provided to the offender’s CO for appropriate action/disposition. Restricted reporting allows a victim to have a confidential report, which does not trigger command or law enforcement notification and the victim may have a SAPR VA and seek medical care and/or counseling. To access restricted reporting, the victim may disclose his/her sexual assault only to the SARC, a current SAPR VA, a health care professional and/or a chaplain.

To contact the NASP 24/7 Victim Advocate, call 449-9231/2. For the Civilian Victim Advocate, call 293-4561. To contact the duty SARC, call the SARC cell at 554-5606.
