Leadership Pensacola class visits NASP Story, photo

by MC2(SW/AW) Michael J. Lieberknecht NMOTC Public Affairs

Members of Leadership Pensacola (LeaP) took a tour of Naval Air Station Pensacola for the “Military Day” portion of their curriculum March 9.

LeaP, founded in the fall of 1982 as a program of the Pensacola Chamber Foundation, aims to develop community-minded leaders to help them acquire an understanding of the issues facing the Pensacola area and to gain the leadership skills necessary to resolve them.

The 50 guests were first treated to an introduction of the base by local Navy leaders at Naval Aerospace Medicine Institute (NAMI) featuring guest speakers Rear Adm.

Michael White, commander, Naval Education and Training Command (NETC); Capt. Christopher Martin, commanding officer, NAS Pensacola; and Capt. Mark Goto, commanding officer of Navy Medicine Operational Training Center (NMOTC).

Starting the day off, White showed his gratitude for the group before their tour of NASP continued.

“I thank you all for your time, I’m really glad you all decided to participate for this event,” said White.

Goto finished the overview introduction and kept the group looking forward to their tour.

“There’s so many great things to see here,” said Goto. We want to keep it on track and get you out there.”

Members of Leadership Pensacola, a program of the Pensacola Chamber Foundation, receive a briefing at Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) as Sailors are trained in crash and salvage procedures.

Following their briefing, LeaP members were split into groups to visit both the Air Traffic Control School (ATCC) and crash and salvage training centers.

While at ATCC, guests learned the job of Navy air traffic controllers and how

they were trained. ATTC instructors explained the everyday responsibilities while performing their duties in the fleet from communicating with aircraft and planning flight routes, to the challenges many Sailors face while on de-

ployment working long hours on ships which launch aircraft around the clock.

LeaP guests were even invited into training spaces to watch Sailors practice scenarios. They looked on and asked several ques-

tions in low-light training rooms while ATTC students and instructors displayed their aptitude performing scenarios based on situations that could happen while See LeaP on page 2

Mattis: Social media misconduct by DoD personnel won’t be tolerated

By Terri Moon Cronk DoD News, Defense Media Activity

The purported actions of civilian and military personnel on social media websites, including some associated with the “Marines United” group and possibly others, represent egregious violations of the fundamental values that are upheld at the Department of Defense, Defense Secretary James Mattis said March 10 in a statement.

Rating expert? Your knowledge is needed to write advancement exams

By Ed Barker Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center Public Affairs

Active-duty Navy chiefs (E-7-E-9) interested in shaping the future of their ratings are needed to serve as subject matter experts (SMEs) for upcoming Advancement Examination Readiness Reviews (AERRs).

Naval Administrative Message (NavAdmin) 058/17, released March 8, announced the AERR schedule for April to September 2017. Based on this schedule, AERR panel members working as fleet SMEs for their respective ratings develop E-4-E-7 rating advancement exams for future cycles.

Navy chiefs (E-7-E-9) on

active duty, Full Time Support (FTS) and reservists on active duty for special work (ADSW) are encouraged to apply and take part in the process.

“The knowledge that our fleet experts bring to the reviews is invaluable, as that’s what makes the exams relevant and identifies a Sailor with the right skills to select for advancement,” said Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) Command Master Chief, ETNCM(SS) James Berhalter. “AERRs give chiefs direct input toward shaping their community – participants have a

say in what their reliefs need to know.”

AERRs vary in length between one-to-two weeks and exam readiness reviews are held throughout the year with each specific rating being reviewed on an annual basis. The reviews are held at NETPDC at Saufley Field in Pensacola. AERR participants receive temporary additional duty (TAD) orders from their parent command, paid for

IWTC Corry Station graduates enlisted, officer courses Story, photos

by MC2 Taylor L. Jackson Center for Information Warfare Training Public Affairs

Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) Corry Station held a ceremony for two graduating classes at the Naval Air Station Pensacola Corry Station chapel March 1.

The graduating classes included 15 students from the Information Professional (IP) Basic Course and 14 students from the Joint Cyber Analysis Course (JCAC).

The graduating IP Basic Course students were the last to attend the class at IWTC Corry Station. The course has been moved to IWTC Virginia Beach, Va., in part to leverage the close proximity of IP and information warfare (IW) community operational commands to the training command. The course has also been expanded from eight weeks at Corry Station to 20 weeks to meet the evolving demands of communications and network technologies.

“The team at IWTC Corry Station did an outstanding job training many of our IP officers who are now in our most vital roles in the fleet,” said Lt.

Students from the Information Professional (IP) Basic Course at Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) Corry Station pose for a photo during their graduation ceremony at the Naval Air Station Pensacola Corry Station chapel. The students were the last to attend the course at IWTC Corry Station. The IP Basic Course is now taught at IWTC Virginia Beach, Va.

Michael Baucum, a Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT) program manager for the IP Basic Course. “We took many of the lessons learned and positive practices of the IP Basic Course at Corry Station and implemented them in the new course in Virginia Beach. The IP community is in deep gratitude to the instructors who taught the course at Corry Station, for providing outstanding IP officers throughout the course’s time there.”

The IP Basic Course provides new IP officers with a fundamental knowledge of the IP

community and the IP’s role within the IW mission. While introducing the values which guide the IP community, the course gives students a foundation of skills which will enable them to develop, communicate, and promote innovative solutions.

JCAC trains enlisted personnel from all services in the skills and knowledge required to perform technical network analysis in cyberspace operations.

“I’m grateful I had the opportunity to come to this course and improve my skills and knowledge as a cyber analyst,” said

CTN Christopher Hall, the JCAC honor graduate, who has orders to Navy Information Operations Command Fort Devens, Massachusetts. “JCAC is a very difficult course, but it definitely helps prepare us to go out to the fleet and be the best information warriors we can be.”

Capt. Edward Kruk, CIWT executive officer and guest speaker for the ceremony, spoke of the importance of the graduates’ roles in supporting the IW mission.

Getting out of the dark rooms and into the sunlight, the tour was also led to the practice flight deck where fleet-experienced Sailors were running crash and salvage drills.

LeaP members watched as students communicated with hand signals and worked together to move a decommissioned training jet down the flight deck.

The guests learned about how and why the crash and salvage crew operates to ensure safety in the event of a mishap aboard a ship while asking questions and observing the Sailors in training replace a jet tire.

By the end of the tour, LeaP members were expected to have explored and identified components of the military structure while understanding the large economic impact said structure has on the region and examine the community support of the military. As far as Martin was concerned, support was in full force.

“The interaction between the military and the community here is unlike anything I’ve ever seen,” said Martin. “It’s absolutely incredible.”

Nichols 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.

Navy’s builders have played important role for 75 years Commentary by Lt. Cmdr. Jen Cragg Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, Public Affairs Officer

M

arch 5 marked the 75th anniversary of the Seabees, and Seabees young and old are celebrating the birthday of this unique organization.

Since March 5, 1942, the U.S. Navy has employed an elite cadre of construction battalion Sailors, better known as Seabees. Guided by the motto, “We Build, We Fight,” throughout the past 75 years the Seabees have served in all major American conflicts, supported humanitarian efforts, and helped to build communities and nations around the globe. Even when not engaged in war, the Seabees construct and maintain American military bases around the globe. In addition, they provide engineering and construction support to other U.S. government agencies and friendly nations.

Here are a few facts about Navy’s builders, who can fight: • Rear Adm. Ben Moreell is the proclamined father of the Seabees. After the Dec. 7,

How to submit a commentary

1941, attack on Pearl Harbor, the need for a militarized Naval Construction Force to build advance bases in the war zone was self-evident. Moreell saw the need to activate, organize, and man Navy construction units. On Dec. 28, 1941, he requested specific authority to carry out this decision, and Jan. 5, 1942, he gained authority from the Bureau of Navigation to recruit men from the construction trades for assignment to a Naval Construction Regiment composed of three Naval Construction Battalions.

• On March 5, 1942, Construction Battalions (CBs) were given official permission to assume the name of Seabees. That is why March 5 is the approved date to celebrate the annual anniversary of their establishment.

• The official motto of the

Seabees is Construimus, Batuimus, which is Latin for, “We Build, We Fight.” Created by Moreell, it’s at the essence of why the Seabees were created and what they do. A fighting force of men and women, the Seabees have been deployed globally in every theater, constructing bases, building airfields, conducting underwater construction, and building roads, bridges and other support facilities.

• The first Seabee unit was known as the Bobcats.

Shortly after Adm. Ernest King requested the War Plans

Division recommend a base to establish a fueling station in the South Pacific, BuDocks developed the 1st Naval Construction Detachment, the first Seabee unit, known as the Bobcats for the island’s codename. Want to know more about their establishment?

• During World War II, Seabees made their mark on both sides of the globe. The World War II Seabees performed now legendary deeds

in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters of operation. At a cost of nearly $11 billion and many casualties, they constructed more than 400 advanced bases along five figurative roads to victory which all had their beginnings in the continental United States.

• CM3 Marvin Shields was the first Seabee to receive the nation’s highest award.

Shields was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor during the Vietnam War. Not only was Shields the first Seabee to receive the nation’s highest award, he was also the first Navy man to be so decorated for action in Vietnam.

USS Marvin Shields (DE 1066) was named in his honor.

The Naval Construction Force has an illustrious history and engineering expertise that has played a historically significant role in the construction of the naval shore establishment, supported expeditionary warfare and provided disaster recovery and assistance humanitarian within the context of larger American foreign policy.

Thank you to the past and present Seabees for your service. Happy 75th anniversary.

103-year-old Seabee reflects on service

By Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg Commander, Navy Expeditionary Combat Command Public Affairs

D

URHAM, N.C. (NNS) – As Seabees worldwide celebrated the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the fighting Seabees, March 5, the oldest living Seabee in North Carolina, at 103 years of age, recounted service to his country during World War II. While Seabees worldwide are commemorating the 75th anniversary this year which established a force of more than 325,000 builders who could fight during World War II, Jerry Smith was one of the Sailors who entered the U.S. Navy at the age of 29, March 15, 1942.

At the time of his enlistment he didn’t know about a new rating called the Seabees; he simply signed up to serve his country like so many men his age would. Based on his experience helping to run a hardware store for a decade, he was selected for this new community.

“I was assigned to the 1st Naval Construction Battalion,” recalled Smith. “After serving in the unit for six months overseas we found out that we were Seabees.”

Smith was also chosen to serve in the Seabees based on his familiarity with construction equipment and ability to build.

Smith jokingly added when he joined the Navy it was at the behest of his employer, Liston L. Mallard, who owned the local hardware store. Mallard had served in World War I and wanted to again do his part for his country.

“I'm joining the Navy; would you like to come too?,” Smith recalled what Mallard had asked him 75 years ago.

Smith ultimately ended up serving with Mallard while deployed overseas on Efete Island in the Southwestern Pacific. The island, just five miles long from

the east to west and 18 miles wide, served as a significant defensive advantage for the U.S. and its Allied forces.

After the war ended Smith returned to his same hometown, to his same job, and worked again with his same employer. Men like Smith and Mallard signed up simply because it was needed at the time.

Smith served as a storekeeper during his enlistment – one of 17 on island – and when he joined the Navy there was no delay in shipping qualified builders worldwide to help turn the tide in the U.S. and Allied favor.

“We were taken out of our civilian lives, placed in a 1,000man unit and shipped overseas,” said Smith, who recalled arriving on Efete Island, the dominant island in the New Hebrides archipelago.

Elements of the 1st Naval Construction Battalion starting arriving on island, May 1942, and were quickly put to work.

The U.S. Navy was responsible for constructing the base on the island, the port and a 600-bed hospital, but also construct the crucial 6,000-foot runway and airfield, which was needed for the Guadalcanal campaign, August 1942 through February 1943.

While forces were actively building up Efete Island, Japanese forces were establishing bases on Guadalcanal which threatened access to sea routes between the U.S. and Australia.

The construction of the airfield

PO2 Jerry Miller Smith, standing, a World War II veteran and one of the original members of the first construction battalion of the Navy, celebrated his 100th birthday Aug. 27, 2013, at the North Carolina Executive Governor’s Mansion in Raleigh, N.C. Smith is one of the pioneers of the famed “Seabees” that became part of the militarized Naval Construction Force responsible for building advance bases, hospitals, highways, and airports in combat zones throughout the South Pacific Islands in the 1940s. Here he is shaking the hand of a World War II Marine veteran, T.C. Lawson, who recovered in one of the medical facilities Smith helped build. Photo by Sgt. Leticia Samuels

at that time was crucial because the U.S. needed to get planes in the air to prevent Japanese forces from attacking Allied supply lines across the Pacific.

“First thing we built was a bomber strip so we can start bombing Guadalcanal,” recalled Smith.

With seven bulldozers, 10 trucks, and one crane, Seabees stationed on Efete Island used the older equipment and got to work fortifying and building up the base to create the first stronghold in the Pacific to fight against the Japanese.

Smith played a pivotal role on island, overseeing timber to be used in all of the base construction.

“I was the only one on the island except the man I worked for who could count lumber,” recalled Smith. “I was automatically in charge of lumber – more than 600,000 feet of the prettiest West Coast fir you ever saw.”

During his nearly two-year deployment, he spent time building docks, bridges, and roads in addition to his storekeeping duties.

The Guadalcanal campaign

was seen as a significant strategic combined Allied victory in the Pacific theater because it marked the first major offensive

by Allied forces against Japan.

Coupled with the victory of the Battle of Midway, June 1942, both historical events helped to turn the tide in the Pacific against the Japanese in favor of the U.S. and Allied forces.

Smith ultimately served his entire time in service on Efete Island, March 1942 through September 1945. In today’s Navy where families can stay connected with their loved ones instantaneously while deployed, Smith didn’t have the opportunity to speak with his family for 19 months.

For the Seabees serving during World War II, having the right amount of initiative and toughness both helped to save lives and equally served to pass the time. Smith recalled stories of his “Seabee ingenuity” put to good use to both raise morale and help to pass the time.

When Smith got on island there was no radio, no form of entertainment or books to read,

NRL develops lighter, field-repairable transparent armor

By Daniel Parry U.S. Naval Research Laboratory PAO

WASHINGTON (NNS) – Research chemists at U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have developed and patented a transparent thermoplastic elastomer armor to reduce weight, inherent in most bulletresistant glass, while maintaining superior ballistic properties.

Thermoplastic elastomers are soft, rubbery polymers converted by physical means, rather than a chemical process, to a solid. Consequently, the solidification is

reversible and enables damaged armor surfaces to be repaired “on the fly” in the field.

“Heating the material above the softening point – around 100 degrees Celsius – melts the small crystallites, enabling the fracture surfaces to melt together and reform via diffusion,” said Dr. Mike Roland, senior scientist, NRL Soft Matter Physics.

“This can be accomplished with a hot plate, akin to an iron, that molds the newlyforming surface into a smooth, flat sheet with negligible effect on integrity.”

Up to now, NRL scientists have tested

the use of polymeric materials as a coating to achieve improved impact resistance of hard substrates. Applying polyurea and polyisobutylene layers enhances the ballistic performance of armor and helmets, and achieves greater ballistic effectiveness and mitigation of blast waves.

By using a variation of employing thermoplastic elastomers, NRL scientists are able to recreate superior ballistic properties of polyurea and polyisobutylene coatings, with the added benefit of the material being transparent, lighter than conventional bullet-resistant glass, and repairable.

save for his Bible. He and his fellow Sailors saw their first movie on island roughly three months after their arrival.

Smith also found himself helping his fellow Sailors in any way he could.

“You just did what you had to do, with what you had to do it with is what we found out,” said Smith.

Smith wasn’t your average storekeeper. He found ways to help with everything from building the 6,000-foot runway, and rolling up his sleeves to assist the medical staff when wounded service members starting arriving on island, to flying combat missions.

“When 67 wounded men arrived at the hospital,” recalled Smith, “we had no nurses and we were short of corpsmen. I would help with anything.”

Smith also took care of the men he served with; whether by making coconut pies or fresh homemade biscuits, he did his part to help his fellow shipmate.

“I had one of the welders make me a stove, 24 inches wide, 4-feet-high, that I used to make homemade biscuits,” recalled Smith, who also had a pig roast a time or two.

Smith, who today resides in Durham, N.C., looks more like a 90-year-old than an active centurion. Smith enjoyed reflecting on his time in service and offered advice to the generations of Sailors and Seabees serving today.

“Do your best all the time,” said Smith, who truly did his best while serving his country as a Seabee.

MK 18 deployment team makes historic AMCM flight From NSWC PCD Office of Public Affairs (Code 1031)

P

ANAMA CITY, Fla. (NNS) – For years, the U.S. Navy has swept the water columns in various ways for mines, to include using a Mk-107 sled towed by a MH-53E helicopter. This demonstration proved a possible lighter, less time intensive way to sweep for mines in theater and deployed a MK-18 Mod 2 unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) from a MH-60S aircraft.

According to NSWC PCD MH-60S Integration Lead Tim Currie, Naval Air Systems Command HX-21 test pilots used a NSWC PCD “Dragon Master” MH-60S helicopter with the MK18 MOD2 mass model to transit a short distance to the operational area near the NSWC PCD sea wall.

“Once in a hover, the crewman streamed the mass model and adapter into the water and initiated release of the MK18 MOD2 mass model. Once the MK18 MOD2 mass model was released from the UUV adapter the crewman retrieved the adapter back to storage position on the side of the aircraft,” said Currie. “The total operation, from liftoff to touchdown, took 18 minutes. The release of the mass model and recovery of the UUV adapter took approximately three minutes.”

Currie said no anomalies or

equipment issues occurred during any phase of the flight. The aircrew, aircraft, and UUV adapter returned to base safely.

The mass model was retrieved from the bay and returned to the hangar shortly after liftoff.

“This program has been funded by the NISE program with the goal of providing internal warfare funds to incubate promising new technologies that will improve the capabilities of the Navy,” said Currie. “The Fleet demand for the capabilities that the MK18 MOD2 brings to the Navy grows every day. We hope that this work furthers that goal.”

“This was a perfect collaboration between government and industry,” said Currie. “Our industry partners and Concurrent Technologies/EVC had the vision to design the UUV adapter device on internal funding, knowing that this was a needed capability for the U.S. Navy.”

Currie said the next challenge is phase two: Recovery of MK18 Mod 2 from the aircraft.

“We are working with NUWC Keyport on the recovery device and two Keyport engineers were onsite for phase

one of the test. We wanted them to see a flight first hand to aid in their design for the recovery device,” said Currie. “Lessons learned from the initial in water testing have been included in the second prototype design and we expect to have a functional prototype by April of this year. In April, we will be back pierside conducting in water testing of the recovery device and I will provide periodic updates to that progress. Phase two flight testing is scheduled for the first quarter of FY18.”

NAVSEA Warfare Center Executive Director Don McCormack congratulated the MH-60S, MK-18 deployment

team via e-mail Feb. 2.

“Congratulations on yesterday’s successful demonstration.

This is a great good news story for the warfare centers, our industry partners and the Expeditionary MCM Warrior. I look forward to the same success with the retrieval aspect,” he wrote. “The real winner will be when this capability is operationalized for the warfighter.”

Changes to TRICARE and dental benefits with new options

By Jamie Link NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs Office

D

o you know the difference between TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Standard? Don Nelson, the health benefits adviser with Naval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) Naval Branch Health Clinic (NBHC), has answered that question plus many more that pertain to TRICARE benefits.

“A big difference between Prime and Standard is the freedom of choice,” Nelson said, “Tricare Standard gives you options to go out in town but you have to pay a deductible and co-pay. With Tricare Prime, you are seen on-base at no cost,” (except if you are a retiree with TRICARE Prime; you pay a yearly cost to be a part of TRICARE Prime).

Nelson has worked in the NBHC medical building onboard NAS Whiting Field for 11 years.

Nelson retired as a master chief and served 26 years in the Navy as a hospital corpsman.

Were you aware of the new ways to receive care when you are hurt or sick?

Another option is the use of urgent care centers (UCC), which are available for all TRICARE beneficiaries. You are given a maximum of two visits per fiscal year without a referral.

A piece of advice from Nelson: “If you use the

nurse advice line and speak with a nurse, it does not count against your two allowable urgent care visits (if the nurse decides you should be seen) for the fiscal year, so it is worth making the call.”

UCCs are located in several locations off-base and now on the installation.

The nurse advice line is 800-TRICARE (800-8742273) and is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The registered nurses on the line help callers make informed decisions about self-care at home or when to see a health care provider.

The NBHC has urgent care center hours 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. every day of the week including holidays. Visit the UCC for acute care concerns such as minor lacerations and injuries, fevers, sore throat and cough. For UCC appointments call (850) 505-6731.

NBHC Whiting Field enrollees also have the option for same-day ap-

pointments during normal clinic hours, but check for appointment availability before visiting the UCC. Family Medicine at (850) 623-7551 and Aviation/ Military Medicine at (850) 623-7151, both are open Monday through

Friday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

An important note for urgent care vs. emergency

care is that if you have an emergent care need, go directly to the emergency room. Emergency room visits do not require a referral and all information is automatically sent to your primary care facility after care is given.

Another important change will be that in 2018, TRICARE’s regions are changing. The number of regions will change from three to two; NorthSouth-West regions will become East Region and West Region.

There are also changes that will take effect May 1 of this year for dental

coverage. The dental contracts will be changing from Met Life to United Concordia as the new carrier. For questions call (844) 653-4061 (CONUS) or visit www.uccitdp.com.

Nelson is available in the NBHC and by appointment to answer questions concerning TRICARE beneficiaries’ issues and can also help lead patients in the right direction for dental care concerns as well.

For more information or questions, call Nelson at (850) 623-7399 or by e-mail at don.l.nelson3.civ @mail.mil or TRICARE (800) 444-5445.

Professional and backyard barbecue teams will be firing up the grills today and Saturday for the Smokin’ in the Square event in Seville Square.

Story and photo from www.Smokinginthesquare.com

The two-day Smokin’ in the Square event pits professional and backyard barbecue teams against each other for prize money and bragging rights.

The event is organized by the Knights of Columbus Milton Council 7027 and sanctioned by the Kansas City BBQ Society (KCBS).

This is the eighth year for the cook-off, which draws local barbecue fans to watch the competition and sample the food. The event also features vendors, arts and crafts, the Bikes on the Bay motorcycle show, a cornhole tournament and live entertainment.

The Knights of Columbus is a fraternal organization of Catholic men. The Milton Council 7027 has more than 250 members.

Smokin’ in the Square is a volunteer-run fundraising event.

The chairman and organizer, Ivan Delabruere, works with a core team planning each year’s event with the support of members and local sponsors.

Each year, the event has grown and now includes an average of 50 pro teams and 25 backyard teams.
