Honoring 117 years: Navy corpsman birthday Story, photos

by MC2 Kaitlyn C. Boland NMOTC PAO

Nearly 70 service members Department of Defense and contract employees from the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery’s (BuMed) premier training facility for operational medicine and aviation survival training celebrated the 117th birthday of one of the U.S. Navy’s most decorated ratings June 17.

Navy Medicine Operational Training Center (NMOTC), the command responsible for operational medicine and aviation survival training for U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard personnel, hosted a cake-cutting ceremony and presentation honoring hospital corpsman, the Navy’s largest rating.

HMC Jeff Kerrigan, HM2 Leiman Gonzalez and HM2 Brandon McFarlane presented colors wearing various uniforms to represent the capabilities

and areas served as corpsman.

HR Cory Troche, NMOTC’s Pensacola-area youngest hospital corpsman, and HMCS Dexter Lewis, NMOTC’s Pensacola-area oldest hospital corpsman, cut a cake during the brief ceremony.

Photos of some corpsman killed in action during the most recent United States conflicts were part of the hour-long ceremony.

According to Gonzalez, a 12-year veteran, participating in a ceremony celebrating the most decorated Corps in the United States Navy proved inspirational.

“It’s imperative to continue to celebrate the hospital corpsman rate and remember their rich history,” he said. “I joined to become a corpsman, to be that individual who stood alongside the Marines, to serve at sea and to save lives. There were several students present and for them to see – some of

Hospital corpsmen work in a wide variety of capacities and locations, including shore establishments such as naval hospitals and clinics, aboard ships, and as well as the primary medical caregivers for Sailors while underway. Hospital corpsmen are frequently the only medical caregiver available in many fleet or Marine units on extended deployment. In addition, hospital corpsmen perform duties as assistants in the prevention and treatment of disease and injury and assist health care professionals in providing medical care to Sailors and their families.

They may function as clinical or specialty technicians, medical administrative personnel and health care providers at medical treatment facilities. They also serve as battlefield corpsmen with the Marine Corps, rendering emergency medical treatment to include initial treatment in a combat environment.

Qualified hospital corpsmen may be assigned the responsibility of independent duty aboard ships and submarines; Fleet Marine Force, SEAL and Seabee units; and at isolated duty stations where no medical officer is available.

The colloquial form of address for a hospital corpsman is “doc.” In the United States Marine Corps, this term is generally used as a sign of respect.

NMOTC, the recognized global leader in operational medical and aviation survival training, reports to Navy Medicine Education and Training Command (NMETC).

NMETC manages Navy Medicine’s formal enlisted and officer education and training programs, medical operational training for medical and medical support personnel deploying worldwide, and training that prepares aviators and flight crews to survive in land and water mishaps.

NMOTC and NMETC are part of the Navy Medicine team, a global health care network of Navy medical professionals around the world who provide high-quality health care to eligible beneficiaries. Navy Medicine personnel deploy with Sailors and Marines worldwide, providing critical mission support aboard ships, in the air, under the sea and on the battlefield.

Autonomous, swarming LOCUST UAVs fly into the future

By David Smalley Office of Naval Research

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. – A new era in autonomy and unmanned systems for naval operations is on the horizon, as officials at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) announced recently technology demonstrations of swarming unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) – part of the Low-Cost UAV Swarming Technology (LOCUST) program.

LOCUST can launch swarming UAVs to autonomously overwhelm an adversary. The deployment of UAV swarms will provide Sailors and Marines a decisive tactical advantage. (Watch: LOCUST video on YouTube) “The recent demonstrations are an important step on the way to the 2016 ship-based demonstration of 30 rapidly launched autonomous, swarming UAVs,” said ONR program manager Lee Mastroianni.

A screen capture from an online video shows a LOCUST taking flight.

The LOCUST program includes a tubebased launcher that can send UAVs into the air in rapid succession. The breakthrough technology then utilizes informationsharing between the UAVs, enabling autonomous collaborative behavior in either defensive or offensive missions.

Since the launcher and the UAVs themselves have a small footprint, the technology enables swarms of compact UAVs to take off from ships, tac-

while the LOCUST autonomy is cutting edge compared to remote-controlled UAVs, there will always be a human monitoring the mission, able to step in and take control as desired.

“This level of autonomous swarming flight has never been done before,” said Mastroianni.

“UAVs that are expendable and reconfigurable will free manned aircraft and traditional weapon systems to do more, and essentially multiply com-

tical vehicles, aircraft or other unmanned platforms.

The ONR demonstrations, which took place over the last month in multiple locations, included the launch of Coyote UAVs capable of carrying varying payloads for different missions. Another technology demonstration of nine UAVs accomplished completely autonomous UAV synchronization and formation flight.

ONR officials note that

bat power at decreased risk to the warfighter.”

UAVs reduce hazards and free personnel to perform more complex tasks, as well as requiring fewer people to do multiple missions.

Lowering costs is a major benefit of UAVs as well. Even hundreds of small autonomous UAVs cost less than a single tactical aircraft – and, officials note, having this capability will force adversaries to focus on UAV swarm response.

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert’s Sailing Directions to the fleet note that over the next 10 to 15 years, the Navy will evolve and remain the preeminent maritime force. It directs: “Unmanned systems in the air and water will employ greater autonomy and be fully integrated with their manned counterparts.”

Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla.: A Bicentennial Defense Community Commanding Officer — Capt. Keith Hoskins Public Affairs Officer — Patrick J. 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.

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

p.m., July 27-31. A VA registration packet, a completed and signed DD Form 2950 Page 10, and a personal interview with one of the NASP SARC’s are required prior to attending class.

The last day for packet/interview is July 24. Once class is completed successfully and the VA candidate receives the command and SARC’s endorsement, the VA then applies to receive their DSAACP confirmation.

Preventing ID theft: Five things you need to know From Defense Media Activity

T

he recent breach of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) personnel record systems potentially impacts 4 million federal employees and has been in the news recently.

In this digitally connected world it’s more important than ever to know how to protect yourself from online identity theft that can lead to someone using your Social Security number or other personal information to open new accounts, make purchases, or get a tax refund.

Here are five things you can do to protect yourself: 1. Check your account information. Monitor it regularly and report immediately any suspicious or unusual activity to your bank or financial institu-

tion.

2. Keep an eye on your credit report. Request a free credit report at www.AnnualCreditReport.com or by calling (877) 322-8228. Consumers are entitled by law to one free credit report per year from each of the three major credit bureaus – EquifaxR, ExperianR and TransUnionR – for a total of three reports every year.

Contact information for the credit bureaus can be found on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) website, www.ftc.gov.

3. Verify who is asking for your information. Be suspicious of unsolicited phone calls, visits, or email messages from individuals asking about you, your employees, your colleagues or any other internal information. If an unknown individual claims to be from a legitimate organization, try to verify his or her identity directly with the company.

4. Stay vigilant online.

Do not reveal personal or financial information in e-mail, and do not respond to e-mail solicita-

tions for this information. This includes following links sent in e-mail.

Pay attention to the URL of a website. Malicious websites may look identical to a legitimate site, but the URL may use a variation in spelling or a differ-

ent domain (e.g., .com vs. .net).

5. Keep your documents in a safe place. At home and when you are traveling it’s important to only take what you need.

Lock your wallet or purse in a safe place at work and

limit what you carry with you. When you go out, take only the identification, credit and debit cards you need.

Bad weather happens: Are you prepared ... now?

By Ed Wright Navy Installations Command Public Affairs

WASHINGTON (NNS) – Recent severe weather can be very stressful and even dangerous, and being left without a plan to get ahead of these natural disasters can put you and your family at risk.

Navy Installations Command and Ready Navy are encouraging every Sailor, their families and our civilian workforce to take proactive, preparedness measures to stay safe no matter what the season.

The hurricane season officially began in June and runs through November.

“Do not wait for a hurricane or typhoon warning to stock your home with emergency supplies,” said Jeff Sanford, N37 Emergency Management. “As a storm approaches, there can be a run on essential supplies or possible power outages, so take steps today to ensure you and your families are prepared for the threat of a hurricane or typhoon.”

In addition to an evacuation plan, it’s recommended families have at least three days of emergency supplies on hand, according to the American Red Cross, including one gallon of water per person per day, nonperishable foods and personal hygiene products.

Austal hosts christening of new LCS Gabrielle Giffords From General Dynamics Mission Systems http://gdmissionsystems.com

A

ustal joined Gabrielle Giffords, her husband, retired Navy Capt. Mark Kelly, and ship’s sponsor Dr. Jill Biden in celebrating the christening of the future USS Gabrielle Giffords (LCS 10) June 13 in Mobile, Ala. This is the third littoral combat ship (LCS) in Austal’s 10-ship, $3.5 billion block-buy contract.

The Independencevariant littoral combat ship is a 127-meter (419foot) aluminum trimaran, capable of being outfitted with reconfigurable payloads (mission packages) which can be changed to support mine countermeasure, anti-submarine and surface warfare missions.

It is named Gabrielle Giffords after the former Congresswoman from Tuscon, Ariz. This is only the 16th U.S. naval ship to be named for a woman and the 13th since 1850 to be named for a living person.

“The Navy motto is Semper Fortis, ‘always courageous’,” said Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus during a ceremony held at the Pentagon in February 2012, where he officially announced the name of the ship. “Unwa-

vering courage has defined the Navy for 236 years and it is what we expect and what we demand of our sailors every single day. So it is very appropriate that LCS 10 be named for someone who has become synonymous with courage and who has inspired a nation with remarkable resiliency and showed the possibilities of the human spirit.”

Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, is a mother and grandmother, a lifelong educator and an active member of her community. Biden is the author of a children’s book, “Don’t Forget, God Bless Our Troops,” released in June 2012. In Delaware, she was active with a nonprofit organization called Delaware Boots on the Ground, which helps families during times of military deployment by organizing community events to raise awareness and support.

Dr. Jill Biden delivers remarks prior to christening the future littoral combat ship USS Gabrielle Giffords (LCS 10) at Austal USA in Mobile, Ala. Former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle “Gabby” Giffords was on the stage as Biden christened the ship. The 419-foot ship was built at the Austal shipyard and is the Navy’s 10th littoral combat ship, designed to operate in shallow waters near the coast. It is 16th U.S. naval ship to be named for a woman and only the 13th since 1850 to be named for a living person. Photo courtesy Austal USA

“I think I speak for Austal’s entire shipbuilding team when I say that we are excited to be building a ship named after such an amazing person,” Austal USA President Craig Perciavalle remarked. “Gabrielle Giffords’ courage and tenacity in the face of adversity is well-represented in the short history of the littoral combat ship program.”

He praised the shipbuilders, saying “I’m proud to say that Austal’s workforce shows the same commitment and dedication that both of these women representing this ship have demonstrated

throughout their careers, growing exponentially in a short period of time completing milestone after milestone making Austal highly successful and the largest private employer in South Alabama.”

The vessel has a maximum speed of more than 40 knots. The Independence-variant combines superior seakeeping, endurance, and speed with the volume and payload capacity needed to support emerging missions – today and in the future. The ship was launched in February and is making preparations for trials and delivery in 2016.

Navy tradition dictates that each ship constructed for the service be honored on four historic ceremonial occasions: keel-laying, christening, commissioning and decommissioning. When a Navy ship is christened, the recently constructed ship is solemnly dedicated, named and committed to the sea.

More than 400 naval and shipyard guests attended the ceremony, which was held on the east bank of the Mobile River at Austal’s waterfront facility. The Honorable Dennis V. McGinn, Assistant Secretary of the Navy

for Energy, Installations and Environment, was the principal speaker at the event.

The LCS program is in full swing at Austal USA with seven ships under construction at this time.

Jackson (LCS 6) was scheduled for acceptance trials the week of June 22.

Montgomery (LCS 8) is preparing for trials and delivery later this year. Final assembly is well underway on Omaha (LCS 12) and Manchester (LCS 14).

Modules for Tulsa (LCS 16) and Charleston (LCS 18) are under construction in Austal’s Module Manufacturing Facility.

Feds Feed Familes kicks off

By Ens. Margaret Gresham NASWF Public Affairs

The Feds Feeds Families (FFF) campaign is once again collecting food to help the less fortunate across the nation. The 2015 campaign began mid-June and will conclude at the end of August, and the NAS Whiting Field (NASWF) donations will support the efforts of Bay Area Food Bank.

The Command Religious Program in coordination with Commander of Naval Installations Command was tasked to coordinate the “Feds Feed Families” campaign aboard their respective installations. NAS Whiting Field collected 3,238 pounds in 2013 and 2,338 pounds in 2014. The goal is to surpass what was collected last year.

According to usda.gov, federal workers have donated and collected nearly 39 million pounds of food and other non-perishable items to support families across America since the campaign began in 2009. More than 85 percent of federal workers live and work outside the Washington D.C., area, so the campaign helps communities in every state. In 2013, employees collected nearly 9 million pounds of food. Agencies were asked to set their own goals again and beat their previous best. In 2014, federal employees donated a total of 14,849,380 pounds.

The strategy is to continue to partner with the NASWF Commissary by offering $5 and $10 bags of groceries to donate to the cause. These bags will be collected by the commissary team, and can be purchased at check out with the cashiers.

Although nationwide the program is really about helping those in need locally, as what is donated by the Whiting team will help those in Northwest Florida. Naval Air Station’s newest chaplain, Lt. Roy Fondren, shared that “The passionate desire of the Whiting Field family is to continually participate with our local community to provide those in need with practical blessings and tangible displays of love.”

Region Southeast has led the Navy, which has led the DoD, for the past several years. We hope that through the generosity of military members and their families this record of success continues ... but most importantly, the desire is to assist people and families in our local community during difficult times.

Mulligans: Southern, home cooking done right

By Jay Cope NASWF Public Affairs

With only a few months under her belt, Naval Air Station Whiting Field’s new food and beverage manager Darlene Allen has started to make her presence felt at Mulligans. Establishing a new set of lunch specials and a selection of new menu items, Allen is working hard to meet the food service needs of the NASWF team.

Starting May 1, Allen set up a new sequence of daily specials to focus more on home cooking and southern style food. “All these service members are away from home and balanced meals are hard to come by,” she said. “Mulligans is really the only place on base where we are able to provide that.”

Allen emphasized that she “loves doing menus,” and that the hardest part is getting people out to Mulligans to come try them. Especially with the golf course now closed, the café is a little out

Allen’s 15 years owning her own restaurants, Uptown Café in Crestview and The Dinette in Florala, Ala., provided a solid basis to determine how to meet customer desires. She also recently worked as the assistant manager of Legends, a club on Eglin AFB.

Operation Dry Water is a national awareness and enforcement campaign focused on reducing the number of alcoholand drug-related accidents and fatalities, and fostering a stronger, more visible deterrent to alcohol and drug use on the water. tention to the dangers of boating under the influence (BUI) of alcohol and drugs.

Since the inception of the Operation Dry Water Campaign in 2009, law enforcement officers have removed 1,875 BUI operators from the nation’s waterways and made contact with more than 604,250 boaters during the annual three-day weekend. The campaign continues to make a significant impact on boater safety and spread the message of the danger of boating under the influence.

Operation Dry Water is held in June just prior to

Operation Dry Water is coordinated by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA), in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard as well as local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.

Officers from all 56 U.S. states, trusts and territories are expected to participate June 26-28 in Operation Dry Water 2015.

Launched in 2009 by NASBLA in partnership with the United States Coast Guard, Operation Dry Water has been a highly successful campaign, drawing public at-

the Fourth of July holiday, a holiday known for increased boaters on the waters where alcohol use is prevalent, as are subsequent boating accidents and fatalities.

The U.S. Coast Guard has released the 2014 Recreational Boating Statistics. There were 610 recreational boating fatalities in 2014, the second lowest number of yearly boating fatalities on record.

ness portion of the campaign is in effect yearround. Through the outreach efforts of NASBLA, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the participating law enforcement agencies nationwide, Operation Dry Water focuses on spreading awareness of the danger of boating under the influence as well as changing the cultural acceptance of drinking and boating.

Operation Dry Water 2014: • In 2014, 585 local, state, and federal agencies participated in Operation Dry Water. During that three-day weekend law enforcement officers contacted 146,711 boaters, made 318 BUI arrests and issued 18,607 citations and warnings for safety violations.

• In 2014, more than 6,950 officers from 585 local, state, and federal agencies participated in the 72 hours of heightened BUI enforcement.

About Boating Under the Influence (BUI): • U.S. Coast Guard 2013 data reveal that alcohol use is the primary known contributing factor recreational boater deaths.

• Operating a boat with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or higher is against federal law and

Gosling Games Color Me ‘Sail away’

most state laws.

• Alcohol can impair a boater’s judgment, balance, vision, and reaction time. It can also increase fatigue and susceptibility to the effects of cold-water immersion.

• Sun, wind, noise, vibration, and motion – “stressors” common to the boating environment – intensify the side effects of alcohol, drugs and some medications.

• Impairment can be even more dangerous for boaters than for drivers, since most boaters have less experience and confidence operating a boat than they do driving a car.

• Persons found to be boating under the influence can expect to incur severe penalties. If a boat operator is BUI, the voyage may be terminated, the boat may be impounded and the operator may be arrested. Penalties vary by state but can include fines, jail, loss of boating privileges, even loss of driving privileges.

• A three-year field evaluation by the Southern California Research Institute completed in 2011 validated a battery of tests for marine use that are now the basis for efforts to implement a National Marine Field Sobriety Test standard.

Combined with chemical tests using blood, breath, and urine samples, these validated ashore and afloat tests give marine law enforcement officers an impressive arsenal in their ongoing efforts to enforce BUI laws.

• Alcohol is also dangerous for passengers. Intoxication can lead to slips, falls overboard and other dangerous accidents.

• It is illegal in every state and territory to operate a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. BUI laws pertain to all vessels, from canoes and rowboats to the largest ships.

More boating safety facts: • 84 percent of people who drowned in a recreational boating accident were not wearing a life jacket. Always wear a life jacket.

• Boat operator instruction is a significant factor in avoiding and surviving accidents. In accidents where the operator’s instruction was known, 77 percent of fatalities occurred on boats where the operator had not received any boating safety instruction.

• In 2014, there were 11,804,002 recreational vessels registered in the United States.

DANTES director retires after 36 years of VOLED service Story, photo

by Ed Barker NETC PAO

C

elebrating a career that spanned more than 36 years of public service, Carol Berry, director of the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES), retired recently during a ceremony at the National Naval Aviation Museum.

Berry’s career in voluntary education (VOLED) began in 1979 at Naval Air Station Keflavik, Iceland, where she was the director of the Navy Campus office. Following her tour in Iceland, she moved to the Hampton Roads area, where she first directed the NAS Norfolk, Va., Navy Campus Office (NCO) and then the NAS Oceana NCO in Virginia Beach, Va. In 2003, she became the Southeast regional director of Navy College programs, overseeing NCOs throughout the Southeast region of the U.S. including Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

In 2010, Berry became the director of DANTES in Pensacola.

As DANTES director, Berry led a staff that provided valuable educational opportunities and programs for service members and veterans. DANTES supports the off-duty voluntary education

programs of the Department of Defense (DoD) and conducts special projects and development activities in support of educationrelated functions of the DoD. DANTES programs include providing various examinations, such as high school equivalency, college admissions and college credit, and an extensive number of certification and licensing exams. DANTES also supports the Joint Services Transcript and manages the Troops to Teachers program.

The guest speaker for the ceremony was retired Rear Adm. Don Quinn, former commander of the Naval Education and Training Command (NETC).

“I know of no one who has committed their life to empowering others more than Dr. Carol Berry,” said Quinn. “She is a great teacher who will be missed, but her legacy will live on in the millions of Sailors and service

members whose lives have been made better by living the simple axiom ‘For also knowledge itself is power’.”

Also attending the ceremony was Dawn Bilodeau, chief of Department of Defense Voluntary Education. She commended Berry’s 36 years of service and presented her with the Office of the Secretary of Defense Award for Excellence.

“In her five years as DANTES director, Dr. Berry has done some amazing work; she has been exceptionally supportive of voluntary education and the Department of Defense,”

said Bilodeau. “I’ve only known her for a couple of years, but in that time we’ve been able to make miracles happen together for VOLED and our service members.”

Berry said that her nearly four decades of service in VOLED has been not only an incredible journey, but has also allowed her to work with some amazing and dedicated people.

“Working with the staff, the service chiefs, education center personnel, high-level leadership, institutional partners and service members made for exciting days and some sleepless nights, but in

all, serving the greatest military in the world has been a great experience.”

At the close of the ceremony, Berry was also presented the Navy Superior Civilian Service Award by the NETC Chief of Staff, Capt. John Jones.

COMMAND LINES

SAPR 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.
