Sailors prepare for fall PFAs By Lt. j.g. Amanda McMillan Naval Health Clinic Patuxent River The countdown has begun for the Fall 2012 Physical Fitness Assessment, or PFA, cycle.While PFA dates vary by command, each command will complete its PFA between October to November, and Sailors are reminded that part of the PFA requirement is completing their Physical Activity Risk Factor Questionnaire, or PARFQ. The 13-question PARFQ is available online at the Bureau of Naval Personnel site, or BUPERS. Sailors who answer "yes" to any question on the PARFQ must be seen by a medical provider. Those assigned to a squadron with a flight surgeon can see their flight surgeon. Sailors assigned to a command without a flight surgeon must be seen by one of the appointed providers at the Naval Health Clinic. The clinic has designated four dates for these Sailors to be seen as a walk-in on a first-come, first-serve basis. • Friday, 7:30-11:45 a.m. • Aug. 23, 1-3:45 p.m. • Sept. 3, 7:30-11:45 a.m. • Sept. 17, 7:30-11:45 a.m. Those who answer "yes" and are seeking a medical waiver must make an appointment to be seen by their primary

F-35 completes first airborne weapons separation By Victor Chen Program Executive Office Joint Strike Fighter Public Affairs The F-35 Lightning II accomplished a significant test milestone Aug. 8 when the aircraft successfully released a weapon in flight. BF-3, a short-takeoff and vertical-landing F-35 variant, released an inert 1,000-pound GBU-32 Joint Direct Attack Munition, or JDAM, separation weapon over water in an Atlantic test range while traveling at 400 knots at an altitude of 4,200 feet. "While this weapons separation test is just one event in a series of hundreds of flights and thousands of test points that we are executing this year, it does represent a significant entry into a new phase of testing for the F-35 program," said Navy Capt. Erik Etz, director of test for F-35 naval variants. "Today's release of a JDAM was the result of extraordinary effort by our team of maintainers, engineers, pilots and others who consistently work long hours to deliver F-35 warfighting capability to the U.S. services and our international partners." The release was the first time for any version of the F-35 to conduct an airborne weapon separation, as well as the first from an internal weapons bay for a fighter aircraft designated for the U.S. Marine Corps, the United Kingdom and Italy. The milestone marks the start of validating

heed Martin test pilot for the mission. "Stealth, fifth-generation avionics and precision weapons—coupled with the flexible mission capability of the short-takeoff and vertical-landing F-35B—is going to be huge for our warfighters." An aerial weapons separation test checks for proper release of the weapon from its carriage system and trajectory away from the aircraft. It is the culmination of a significant number of prerequisite tests, including ground fit checks, ground pit drops and aerial captive carriage and environment flights to ensure the system is working properly before expanding the test envelope in the air. Aircraft and land-based test monitoring systems collected data from the successful separation, which is in review at the F-35 integrated test force at Naval Air Station Patuxent River. The F-35B is the variant of the Joint Strike Fighter designed for use by the U.S. Marine Corps, as well as F-35 international partners in the United Kingdom and Italy.The F-35B is capable of short takeoffs and vertical landings to enable air-power projection from amphibious ships, ski-jump aircraft carriers and expeditionary airfields. The F-35B is undergoing test and evaluation at NAS Patuxent River and Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., prior to delivery to the fleet.

V-22 supports Harry S. Truman flight-deck certification V-22 participation in USS Harry S. Truman's (CV 75) flight deck certification finishes a five-month U.S.Navy engagement that includedV-22s delivering supplies to 5th Fleet seaborne assets and completing a successful medevac proof-of-concept test with a Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine. By James O'Donnell V-22 Joint Program Public Affairs When a V-22 Osprey from Marine Tiltrotor Operational Test and Evaluation Squadron (VMX) 22 landed for the first time on USS Harry S.Truman (CVN 75) on July 19, it highlighted another in a series of firsts for the tilt-rotor aircraft that has become an integral part of the U.S. naval forces. And although the July 19 landing was a first for a V-22 on Truman, it wasn't the first time for an aircraft carrier, nor will it be the last, according to Cmdr. Sean McDermott, V-22 Joint Program Office (PMA-275) Navy integrated production team lead. "The Marine Corps has committed to providing V-22s to support CVN flight deck certifications," McDermott said, adding that one of the goals of Navy leadership is to incorporate V-22s into the aircraft-carrier flight-deck certification process as often as possible. "It won't be long before each carrier has had V-22s on board," he said. In March, Ospreys supported flight-deck certification with USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) and returned to the ship two months later to perform dynamic interface testing to gather data to expand the V-22's current flight envelope, McDermott said. In addition to this past spring's CVN integration operations, McDermott said a V-22 recently played a role in a deployed aircraft carrier's logistics mission. "In July, USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) was operating in the Arabian Sea and had about 3,000 pounds of perishable
goods needing to be delivered to USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7)," McDermott said. "(Iwo Jima) was about 250 nautical miles away from the Lincoln and helicopters couldn't travel to Iwo in the appropriate amount of time, so they requested a V-22 from the Marines on the Iwo Jima." The Osprey, from Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 261 (VMM261), landed on Lincoln, loaded the cargo and six passengers and was airborne in less than 25 minutes. A fairly routine mission, but noteworthy because it involved a carrier, McDermott said. "V-22s provide support for the MEU (Marine Expeditionary Unit) and amphibious warships all of the time, this logistics mission only scratches the surface of the aircraft's potential for the U.S. Navy." In addition to this logistics support function, the V-22 is also uniquely suited for the medevac mission, McDermott said. This was shown in June, when an Air ForceV-22 successfully demonstrated an evacuation from an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine off the southeast coast of the United States. The V-22 traveled from Cannon Air Force Base, N.M., to the surfaced submarine USSWyoming (SSBN 742), a distance of more than 1,300 miles. While hovering above the submarine, the aircraft lowered a hoist line and simulated evacuating a submarine crewman strapped into a Stokes rescue stretcher. The Osprey then returned to its base in New Mexico. "It was a pretty awesome experience," said Air Force Capt. William Thompson, theV-22 pilot who flew the mission. "It really is a great aircraft, versatile, flexible and a blast to fly." Thompson is a member of the 20th Special Operations Squadron,partofthe27thSpecialOperationsGroupatCannon. "This medevac demonstration was just one example of the myriad missions theV-22 is capable of completing," said Marine Col. Greg Masiello, head of theV-22 Joint Program Office at Naval Air Systems Command. "[June 6th's evolution] demonstrated one of the unique capabilities the Osprey brings to a commander's playbook-the ability to go farther, faster and safer than any other medevac vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft," Masiello said. "These capabilities can and will be instrumental in saving lives."

An MV-22 Osprey assigned to the Storms of Marine Tiltrotor Operational Test and Evaluation Squadron (VMX) 22 departs from the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) recently. This is Harry S. Truman's first Osprey launch and recovery. Harry S. Truman is underway conducting carrier qualifications. A fact not lost on Wyoming's commanding officer. "It's nice to know the U.S. Navy, working with our joint partners, has the capability to rapidly evacuate critically injured Sailors without negatively impacting the strategic mission," said Cmdr. Chris Nash, USS Wyoming's commanding officer. While some of the details and location of the June 6 demonstration are classified, Nash said he was impressed that in spite of wind gusts of 30 knots and heavy seas, the Osprey remained stable above the submarine, without so much as a shiver from the wind. "This was excellent training for my Sailors," Nash said. "[This evolution] highlighted the unique capabilities of this transformational aircraft and proved synergy possible when leveraging two of the most capable platforms in the Joint Forces."
ITT offers vacation getaways By Connie Hempel NAS Patuxent River Public Affairs If that vacation time you've built up is burning a hole in your pocket, why not use it before you lose it? Let your MWR Information, Tickets and Travel office, or ITT, do the planning for you. The ITT team of four includes Cruise Lines International Association certified cruise counselors and destination specialists available to assist you with Disney/Universal packages, cruises, including river cruises, destination weddings and honeymoons, and more through their preferred providers. "Commissions are attached to every package and when authorized customers use our services, those commissions stay local and come back to MWR programs and service members," said NAS Patuxent River MWR ITT Manager Michele Kessler. "So if buying a vacation package through another venue, let's say the Internet, and it's the same price ITT gave you a quote for, why not purchase it through ITT and give back to your local MWR?" The ITT team can also assist people in navigating the online Armed ForcesVacation Club site, www.afvclub.com, which also returns a portion of the money to the local MWR ITT office. The AFVC is available for active-duty and retired military, and DoD civilians and contractors. Kessler said many enjoy this site because of the drastic savings it offers. For example, reservations for an eight-day, sevennight time-share accommodations around the world are available for only $369, she said. ITT is also the hub for tickets to special events in the area, such as the upcoming Sept. 22 Defenders of Freedom Day at Six Flags, which is open to all DoD personnel for $18 a ticket. Parking is free, too. Naval District Washington region personnel will take over the park for the day, and there are 5,000 tickets available that include admission to the
Lynyrd Skynyrd concert that night at no extra charge.Ticket prices increase to $20 starting Aug. 17. Discounted meal tickets, which are good for one meal at a select restaurant in the park, can be purchased through the ITT for $11. ITT offers discounted tickets to sporting events throughout the region, and to the major amusement parks along the Eastern Seaboard, including Florida. "Another benefit to you, our authorized patrons, is that we do not charge any additional fees for these services," Kessler said. Kessler encourages those interested in a vacation to plan early and to schedule an appointment with a certified ITT vacation specialist as soon as possible. "Our office does more than just travel, and we want to be able to spend dedicated time with you in planning your vacation package," she said. "Often, when you plan early you could receive special promotions, and you can pay for your vacation packages by installments. She said those paying in installments usually make a deposit and pay the balance by a certain date. Payments can be made at the ITT Office, in Bldg. 2655 on Cedar Point Road.

hile many of you may be itching to get away this summer, thousands have been making Southern Maryland their destination. Why? Look across the Patuxent River and you'll see.There's a vacation get-away that you can enjoy all year long. "We like to encourage people to have 'staycations' with us," said Carrie Jay-Rose, Navy Recreation Center Solomons director, "Although you live here locally, sometimes you just need to escape from all of the chaos in your normal world. Just come over here, it's peaceful." Whether you want to get out and play or sit back and relax, the Navy Recreation Center Solomons offers a variety of activities year round, and it's all nestled within a 295acre complex that boasts 4,800 feet of shoreline. NRC Solomons is also now a Navy Getaway and perfect for visitors to "Stay. Play. Relax," as the Navy Getaway motto goes. Worried about the crowds? Not at Solomons. The exclusive complex admits only military and DoD civilians, their families and their guests. While the busiest time is Memorial Day to Labor Day, with peak days on weekends, it offers programs and activities throughout the year for families, empty-nesters and single people. "We have all sorts of special programming and activities going on, so there's always something waiting to happen," Jay-Rose said. Prices for activities, lodging and boat and equipment rentals at Solomons vary as most are based on the sponsor's status and rank or rate. For more information on prices or making reservations, call one of the numbers listed or visit http://cnic.navy.mil/Patuxent, click on Fleet and Family Readiness,Things to Do, Recreation and then Solomons Recreation Center.

"It's a quality program at a quality price for an amazing experience," Jay-Rose said. "And the beauty of it is it focuses on what the Navy MWR program is all about, quality-of-life programming."

Laser Gives Patients New Lease on Life
PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Laser technology in the medical field is not new. Lasers are used for a multitude of procedures that consumers are generally aware of such as corrective eye surgery, blood vessel treatment, hair removal, microsurgeries such as joint repair, and muscle therapy. In more recent years lasers have been utilized as pain management devices and in the treatment of periodontal therapy. The use of the laser in periodontal therapy may not only cure periodontal disease but help deter the onset of many other diseases that wouldn’t normally be associated with gum disease. Scientists have been studying the dramatic correlations between systemic health and what would logically appear to the layperson as a localized problem. There is no example more glaring than the relationship between one’s periodontal (gum) health and their overall (systemic) health. The gums that hug the teeth have a very unique position and arguably a flaw in their human functionality. The gums are one of the only areas that provide an access point to the cardiovascular system of the human body. In other words, there is a gap between the gums and the tooth that leads directly into the jaw. This gap is an access point for potentially dangerous bacteria and germs. The mouth, when not provided with consistent professional care, can become a virtual Petri dish for bacterial infections which can wreak havoc on the gums. Known as periodontal disease, this condition will cause inflammation, recession, and larger gaps between the gums and the teeth. Eventually it can lead to loss of teeth and bone degeneration in the jaw. While these conditions seem localized, the bacterial infection that is thriving in the mouth is passing through the gaps between the gums and the teeth and it has constant access to the whole, internal body. This point of access created by periodontal disease has been linked to heart disease and strokes, diabetes, respiratory diseases, pregnancy problems, osteoporosis among other systemic conditions. Before the introduction of a very specific type of laser into the dental field, the only treatments for periodontal disease were the more severe osseous surgery and scaling and root planing. Osseous surgery is a procedure that involves cutting back the gum tissue around the teeth, removing the tartar build up and the granulation tissue (infected gum tissues that creeps into the craters where bone loss has taken place). The bone is then reshaped to help reduce the gap between the healthy gums and
the tooth. A bone graft may be necessary at this point as well. After this the gums are sewn back up and the healing process takes place. Scaling and root planing, a process usually performed by a dental hygienist, requires the area of the mouth being treated (divided into quads, usually) to be numbed first. After the area is sufficiently numbed, the hygienist scrapes and cleans the gums and teeth right down to the root. Both of these procedures are not comfortable for the patient. In fact, many patients opt to not treat, or stop treatment of their disease due to fear and discomfort involved. Thanks to modern laser technology there is now a third option. Periodontal disease can be treated with a laser and a highly trained general dentist. The treatment is minimally invasive. There are no shots, no cutting, and no sewing. A laser is gently used to stimulate the gums and provide a platform for healthy gum growth, possible bone regeneration and a significant shrinking of the gap between the tooth and the gums. This therapy can restore gums to a
healthy state. Dr. Todd Cooper, a general dentist at Tidewater Dental in Lexington Park and Prince Frederick, is one of the only dentists in the tri-county area trained in this technology. He holds the highest level of training and experience, with the Periolase laser, in the area. Since incorporating the laser into Tidewater Dental he has seen dramatic results. He explains that there is a higher compliance rate because the procedure isn’t as uncomfortable as the alternative. In most cases the procedure is also covered by the patient’s insurance as well. Laser technology has provided a new way to cure periodontal disease, a disease that is the leading cause of tooth loss and is estimated to effect upwards of 80% of adults in the U.S. A healthy smile may literally lead to a healthier heart and body. To find out more about periodontal disease visit the National Center for Biotechnology Information website at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov or schedule a consultation with Dr. Todd Cooper at Tidewater Dental.
