NASP observes Alcohol Awareness Month with 2 years free of ARI

By Ens. Jacob Kotlarski NASP Public Affairs

Naval Air Station Pensacola (NASP) broke a record April 4 when it officially logged two years free of any alcohol related incidents (ARI).

The milestone was noted on a wooden board, which is on display at the quarterdeck. The board is updated on a daily basis so everyone who enters NASP headquarters will be reminded of the importance of responsible alcohol use.

The tally board has been on display since Dec. 19, 2014, but this is the first time that the 730-day mark has been reached.

NASP Commanding Officer, Capt. Christopher Martin, expressed his pride in the command’s achievement.

“Two years is such an important milestone,” he said. “I am so proud of the base personnel who continue to set the example on how to be responsible both on and off duty.”

The achievement is also of note because has April been designated as Alcohol Awareness Month by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) since 1987.

Programs from Navy Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention (NADAP) help Sailors be responsible with alcohol and assist some with alcoholism and recovery. Programs such as “Keep What You’ve Earned” and “Who Will Stand Your Watch” encourage responsible drinking among Sailors by

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.

Modern inconveniences make life more stressful

ying there before dawn, under the rumpled covers of our bed, I squeeze the minute muscles of my eyelids in hopes of delaying the morning grind.

I don’t want to face the daily onslaught of snooze buttons, tartar control toothpaste, sassy teenagers and car pools. I would rather not fluff the darks, scrape the burnt edges off the toast, or rub mascara smudges from under my eyes. I’m in no rush to deal with my daughter’s latest wardrobe crisis, who took the phone charger again, or where I left my cup of coffee this time.

I would rather wallow in a dream state, riding in a convertible Camero with the Muppets or having a cotton candy picnic while wearing a fancy hat. But often, in the “hour of the wolf” when I should be dreaming, I’m worrying about losing control.

These feelings could be caused by middle-aged hormones, third month of deployment blues, or lingering heartburn from last night’s tacos, but I’m convinced that the ever-increasing demands our hectic 21st century

lifestyle causes increased stress.

Today, people can’t live without mobile apps, microfleece, coffee pods, lumbar support, hypoallergenic pets, and teeth whiteners. We can’t eat without considering glycemic indexes, free radicals, growth hormones, corn syrup solids and gluten. It’s no wonder we’re so busy, coating our skins with PABAfree SPF lotions, updating our social media profiles, cleansing our colons, and being concerned about green energy efficiency. Even our children worry about antibiotics in their milk, “likes” on Instagram, helmet laws, game system updates, and whether or not their peanut butter sandwich will send a classmate into anaphylactic shock.

Life was so much simpler in the ’70s. I would thump out of bed in my highly flammable polyester nightgown, and remove the faux-denim strap of my headgear before

About the columnist Lisa Smith Molinari, mother of three, was a military spouse for more than 25 years. Her husband recently retired from the Navy. Her syndicated column appears in military and civilian newspapers including Stars and Stripes, and on her blog, www.themeat andpotatoesoflife.com. padding off to the kitchen for a bowl of gum-shredding Captain Crunch or non-freerange eggs with buttered Wonder bread and canned Donald Duck orange juice.

Over breakfast, I would

wonder what the day might bring. Would my mom agree to drop me off at the pool after she was done sunbathing in her rollers? Would the kid next door want to swing on our swing set, or was there still a beehive in the metal tube? Would my dad let me ride my banana-seat bike into town if I promised to pick him up a pack of Salems from the pull-lever cigarette machine in the diner on the way home?

The lack of modern conveniences meant that my biggest worry was whether my brother would chase me around the neighborhood again holding a stick with speared dog poop on the end.

Even as a teen, my life was unencumbered by the trappings of the modern world. I slogged through school like everyone else, gauging my enjoyment of each day by such mundane triumphs as staying awake in Geometry class and having pizza or burgers on the cafeteria menu. At night, I would talk to my best friend on the wall telephone, sorting out our insecurities over double chins and popularity. On weekends, we would sneak into the local drive in, walk around the mall

slurping Orange Juliuses, or borrow her parents’ Ford Fairmont to cruise past the local arcade in hopes that the boys would stop playing Asteroids long enough to notice us.

Although I truly believed that my lack of curling iron skills could potentially leave me without a boyfriend and therefore ruin my entire life, I had no real worries other than a normal dose of teen angst.

Now as a stressed adult, I’ve wondered, “After such a carefree upbringing, why is it that I’m ridden with guilt over using incandescent bulbs, my eye twitches when I hear my smartphone message notifications, and I can’t cope with the pressure to choose the right sugar substitute?”

Surely, there’s a tipping point when the “conveniences” designed to make life easier become so pervasive, that managing them takes more intelligence, physical energy, and organizational skills than most human beings possess. This begs the question: What really matters?

In the dawn before each day, I remind myself of the answer. It may be different for each person, but it’s always the same.

75 years later: A mark in history the USS Bataan will never forget

By MC1 Kegan Kay USS Bataan Public Affairs

T

here are certain dates that are memorialized in history, dates that have shaped who we are as a nation, a country and the world. Dec. 7, 1941, in the peaceful quiet hours on a Sunday morning, Pearl Harbor would soon awaken to a devastating attack, marking the beginning of a Japanese campaign. Within 10 hours, the Japanese would launch an attack on the Philippines.

By Dec. 23, 1941, Gen. Douglas MacArthur ordered the withdrawal from the fortified north of Luzon to the narrow jungle of the Bataan peninsula where U.S. Army, Navy and Marine Corps combined with American-trained Filipino forces to continue the fight against the Japanese.

This unified defense, known as the “Battling Bastards of Bataan,” for the next few months would face harrowing conditions, rampant disease, malnutrition and a severe lack of supplies and ammunition.

History books make very little mention of the date April 9, 1942, but it was this day that Maj. Gen. Edward King Jr., surrendered against orders from MacArthur and Lt. Gen. Jonathan Wainwright, with Corregidor surrendering less than a month later.

Historians dubbed what happened next as the “Bataan Death March,” as approximately 75,000 American and Filipino service members marched 65 grueling miles, signifying one of World War II’s earliest recorded accounts of the savage treatment of prisoners, with more than 21,000 lives being claimed

within the first week due to starvation, exhaustion and abuse from their captors.

Death would continue to follow due to poor conditions aboard Japanese “hell ships” transporting them to prisoner of war camps in Japan and it is said that two of every three Americans who defended Bataan and Corregidor never returned home.

This year, USS Bataan (LHD 5) will commemorate the 75th memorial anniversary of the Battle of Bataan and pay homage to the brave and determined American-Filipino forces from whom the ship receives her namesake.

“It is very important for those who come after us to understand what happened to us and understand the past and the strong heritage of the U.S. Navy,” remarked Jim Brockman, curator of the National American Defenders of Bataan & Corregidor Museum Education and Research Center (NADBC Museum).

To assist with the celebration, Brockman and representatives from the NADBC Museum, Naval History and Heritage Command, and General Dou-

(Left to right) John Pentangelo, from the Hampton Roads Naval Museum; Jim Brockman and David Hubbard, from the National American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor Museum; Duane Trowbridge, a World War II veteran; Joe Judge and Jeffery Barta from Naval History and Heritage Command and MM1 Jose Paz take time for a group photo Feb. 3 in front of a boiler aboard amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5).

“It is very important that USS Bataan is tangible and folks can see it as a reminder of the battle and the history of both the ship and World War II,” continued

women went through in World War II alive and part of our history.”

“It helps the American people remember and commemorate the valor and sacrifices of past generations, while educating and inspiring a new generation of heroes in today’s Navy,” added Jeffrey Barta, deputy director for Museum Operation Division, Naval History and Heritage Command.

In a presentation ceremony in front of the ship’s crew, Brockman presented historic photos, books written by survivors of the Bataan Death March and documentary movies regarding the Battle of Bataan and spoke to gathered crew members and urged them “to continue to keep the history of Bataan alive.”

“Unlike other ships, which are

named after an individual, this ship embodies a very significant historical event in military history,” said Brockman. “You are truly a world-class fighting ship and the crew has a dedication I have not seen on the ships I have been stationed on.”

To further mark the 75th memorial anniversary, the ship is remodeling the ship’s museum, the Jose Calugas Museum, and the ship’s distinguished visitors quarters, the General Jonathan Wainwright Suite, which will include the new contributions from the NHHC and NADBC museum.

“We name our ships for specific reasons and lessons learned,” said Barta. “The valor of the men and women of Bataan, both past and present, cannot be forgotten. The Chief of Naval Operations has charged us with ‘accelerated learning’ and one way to achieve that is by remembering who we are and where we came from, and why we do the things we do.”

Dates and events are highlighted in the history books, but it is the individuals whose stories and experience truly define the magnitude and the weight they carry and the effect they bring about to our future.

When it comes to learning from our history, Barta urged everyone to “Learn it. Remember it. Live it. Make your own history.”

“Every ship, squadron and unit should follow Bataan’s example when it comes to learning and commemorating our rich history and heritage,” said Barta.

Navy Week anchors on the Gulf Coast

By M. Dawn Scott Navy Office of Community Outreach

M

ILLINGTON, Tenn.

(NNS) – Mississippians will welcome the U.S. Navy to the Gulf Coast through April 8, with units coming from around the country to celebrate the bicentennial of Mississippi statehood and the 75th anniversary of the Seabees.

Mississippi Gulf Coast Navy Week’s purpose is to share the Navy’s story with the people of the community and raise awareness of the Navy, its mission and its people. To help with this, there are multiple events scheduled throughout the week, including jumps by the Navy Parachute Team, the Leapfrogs, static displays of oceanographic systems and underwater drones with Sailors from the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command, multiple performances by Navy Band Southeast and school visits with Sailors from USS Mississippi (SSN 782) and USS Ramage (DDG 61), as well as Naval Construction Group 2.

This year, Mississippi Gulf Coast Navy Week will be hosted by two senior Navy leaders with connections to the region.

Rear Adm. Bret Muilenburg, commander, Naval Facilities Engineering Command and chief of the Civil Engineer

Corps, having been stationed in Gulfport, and Rear Adm. Timothy Gallaudet, commander, Meteorology and Naval Oceanography Command, currently stationed aboard Stennis Space Center, will serve as flag hosts.

Muilenburg said he was eager to visit a region that holds such a special place in his memory and career.

“It’s an honor to be able to come back to the Mississippi Gulf Coast for Navy Week,” said Muilenburg. “This region has supported our Seabees throughout their history, and the people certainly supported me during my time here. It’s always important for the Navy to share our mission with citizens in local communities, but it is a distinct pleasure to share that mission and celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Seabees in such a special place.”

taries will conduct a ceremony with the presentation of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Navy Week proclamation, April 1, at Centennial Plaza during the Mississippi Bicentennial Celebration.

This celebration is just one of many ways the state is recognizing the bicentennial of statehood throughout the year.

“It has been a privilege to serve in this great state for the past three years,” said Gallaudet, who also served a prior tour in Mississippi earlier in his career.

“As the only flag officer stationed in the state of Mississippi, the opportunity to be a part of Navy Week was too good to pass up. This region goes all out to

support their service members, and I’m proud to be a part of a week celebrating the relationship the Navy maintains with the Mississippi Gulf Coast.”

Mississippi Gulf Coast Navy Week, the third of 15 Navy Weeks for 2017, will culminate in honoring the 75th anniversary of the “Can Do” men and women of the Naval Construction Force for Seabee Day 2017 at Naval Construction Battalion Center Gulfport. The event is open to the public and begins at 9 a.m. tomorrow, April 8. It will include live music, carnival attractions and a chance for the public to interact with U.S. Navy Sailors.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness

and

Prevention Month

Navy announces SAAPM 2017 theme From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

W

ASHINGTON (NNS) – Navy leaders announced March 30 the 2017 Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAPM) theme of “Protecting Our People Protects Our Mission.”

This awareness month is designed to enhance year-round efforts to eliminate the crime of sexual assault and ensure all Sailors are treated with dignity and respect.

“It is up to all of us to root out destructive behavior, whenever and wherever we see it happen, in person and online. Preventing sexual assault relies on leadership and teamwork and its foundation is trust and respect,” said Rear Adm. Ann Burkhardt, director, 21st Century Sailor Office. “We’re telling Sailors, the difference starts with you. This year’s theme highlights the role everyone plays in stopping sexual assault and how critical that is to keeping us ready to carry out our mission.”

Over the last two weeks, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) released several messages to the fleet discouraging destructive behaviors and highlighting the importance of teamwork to solve this problem.

“The very best teams perform best across the board. They have no place for toxic behavior that weakens the team –

they are laser-focused on continually improving their performance,” said Adm. John Richardson, Chief of Naval Operations (CNO). “If you see these behaviors anywhere, step in – there are no bystanders on our team. Intervene and stop the behavior.”

Richardson asked command leaders to engage with their Sailors at the small team level to talk about what respect looks like at work, at home and online.

During the month of April and throughout the year, commands are encouraged to address sexual violence through leadership engagement at all levels with small focus groups to discuss each Sailor’s role in ensuring their shipmates can live and work in a safe environment free from sexist behaviors, sexual harassment, hazing or sexual assault and to address how alcohol misuse impairs decision making.

Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) has created the SAAPM 2017 Toolkit which provides Sailors ideas on how to host local activities to include SAPR symposiums, active intervention

workshops and other command events that maintain the goal of increasing progress in preventing sexual assault.

Information like the toolkit, as well as references and resources can be found online at www.navy.mil/saapm. The website also includes resources for victims of sexual assault to reach out and get help.

SAAPM efforts go hand-in-hand with the ongoing need to address character and leadership skills across the Navy.

Strengthening and broadening leader de-

velopment remains a key objective of the gold line of effort in “A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority.”

NETPDC selects security assistant as CoQ

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

T

he security assistant for the Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) was honored as the Civilian of the Quarter (CoQ) for the first quarter of 2017 during an all-hands ceremony March 16.

Ed Hattabaugh, a fiveyear civil service veteran and retired senior chief, received the award for his outstanding performance as the command’s security assistant, while simultaneously assisting in the administrative division during the gapped billet of the admin officer.

Hattabaugh said he appreciated the CoQ recognition, but being able to assist where he was needed comes naturally.

“I have never sought out recognition, but appreciate the command taking the time to acknowledge my efforts,” said Hattabaugh. “Mission accomplishment has always been my number one goal, and helping out where needed is a part of that process.”

At the award cere-

mony, NETPDC Commanding Officer Capt.

Lee Newton said he is constantly reminded of how much talent and dedication the civilian professionals on the NETPDC headquarters staff bring to the Navy.

“Mr. Hattabaugh is a direct example of our civilian personnel going the extra mile to ensure the job gets done,” said Newton. “He was able to successfully split his time between two divisions during a temporary manning shortage, ensuring mission accomplishment in both areas. His efforts were nothing short of superb.”

Keith Washington, the command business operations department head for NETPDC, said that Hattabaugh’s work in the

security and administrative divisions was critical and did not go unnoticed.

“Ed successfully syn-

Ed Hattabaugh

chronized a wide variety of admin officer functions while managing a high volume of security clearances, investigations and projects,” said Washington. “His development of a detailed tracking ma-

trix will be used to monitor security and background investigations for years to come. His teamwork and attitude are an outstanding asset to our department.”

NETPDC, located onboard Naval Air Station Saufley Pensacola’s Field, provides products and services that enable and enhance education, training, career development and personnel advancement throughout the Navy. Primary elements of the command include the voluntary education department, the Navy Advancement Center and the resources

management department.
