Health, Safety and Fitness Community Service Award winners announced • NAS Pensacola wins 2012 Navy Project Good Neighbor Community Service Flag Award for Large Shore Command •

By Ed Barker NETC PAO

Thirteen commands were recognized for community service excellence recently as the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) announced the Health, Safety, and Fitness Flagship awards for calendar year 2012 by Naval Administrative M e s s a g e (NavAdmin) 377/12.

Sponsored by the Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) and executed by the Naval Education and Training Professional Development Technology Center (NETPDTC), the award recognizes commands with the best overall community service programs teaching and encouraging individuals, especially youth, to lead healthy and active lives.

“The Navy’s Health,

Safety and Fitness Flagship uses command partnerships to promote healthy and fit lifestyles with schools and communities,” said Capt. Ann Burkhardt, NETPDTC commanding officer.

“Commands around the world, both shore-based and afloat are out in the community, not only being good neighbors, but also helping to educate and set a good example for kids and their families.”

Health, safety and fitness project initiatives are part of the Navy’s Community Service Program. The Health, Safety and Fitness program features Navy volunteers who visit schools and neighborhoods to share information and give practical training that focuses on nutrition, hygiene, mental health, disease prevention, leisure skills develop-

ment, personal safety, drug demand reduction, sports and recreation.

Examples of commandsponsored health, safety and fitness events are Special Olympics, the Great American Smokeout, safety and health fairs, and the President’s Award on Physical Fitness and Sports.

The Navy Community Service Program (NCSP) was launched in 1992 by then CNO Adm. Frank B. Kelso. The program’s goal is to foster and nurture community ties with the Navy and promote volunteerism while developing better Navy leaders through experience in the program.

NCSP consists of five flagships, including the Health, Safety, and Fitness Flagship.

The other four flagships are the Personal Excellence Partnership Flagship, Project Good Neighbor Flagship, Campaign Drug Free

Blue Angels ‘Boss’ receives international air show award

By Lt. Katie Kelly Blue Angels Public Affairs

During its annual convention in Las Vegas, the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS) board of directors honored former Blue Angels commanding officer/flight leader, as the recipient of the ICAS Special Achievement Award during the recent Chairman’s Banquet.

Capt. Greg McWherter was chosen as this year’s honoree for his achievements and contributions during the 2012 air show season. McWherter, who led the team for a total of four years, was recognized for his efforts to integrate the team more fully into the larger air show community, as well as

the personal and professional sacrifices he made when he volunteered to serve a second two-year stint as the Blue Angels’ boss.

“The work Greg did, the progress he helped the team make and the sacrifices he and his family have endured during the last four years are nothing short of extraordinary,” said John Cudahy, president of ICAS. “These last four years have been a remarkable gift to the air show community. The team is fundamentally different than it was in December of 2008 when Greg attended his first ICAS convention.”

McWherter transitioned the team to

Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) announced Dec. 28 that the commander of NETC visited the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit (CNATTU)

Keesler Air Force Base to see firsthand how the learning site has successfully implemented a Virtual Desktop Initiative (VDI).

VDI is a five-year plan to deploy the VDI to more than 36,000 daily users and will replace 80 percent of the more than 23,000 desktop computers

in more than 2,500 classrooms at 68 learning sites around the world.

Rear Adm. Don Quinn, NETC commander, was briefed

by Cmdr. Jonathan Vorrath, CNATTU Keesler’s commanding officer, about the learning site implementation of VDI and how they use it to train students.

Desktop virtualization provides multiple student and instructor workstations from a centralized server environment, which eliminates physical workstations residing in an electronic classroom.

“CNATTU Keesler is the first learning site to implement the virtual desktop initiative, which will expand throughout the NETC domain,” said Quinn.

“We have thousands of computers. To keep pace with current technology, security risks and software, each computer currently has to be updated. When you virtualize a classroom you shift

from multiple updates to an update of a single server. In this case, we went from 152 computers to three servers. Now when we update, we only have to do it three times instead of 152. It’s a huge time and money saver.”

Besides being a money saving

venture, Quinn says he is also pleased by how VDI saves electrical power and time, and benefits the students.

“There’s also a power issue – instead of running 152 desktops

By ABF2(AW/SW) Marla R. Chapa E-28 Arresting Gear Division

The crew of the E-28 Arresting Gear Division at Naval Air Station Pensacola (NASP) is starting the year off at full throttle to get ready for its annual certification.

“Our gear certification and the air show are our busiest times of the year,” said Arresting Gear Division lead-

ing chief petty officer ABE1 O.J. Pitts.

The certification inspection is scheduled for this month, Pitts said.

The E-28 emergency runway arresting gear is designed to safely stop tail-hook equipped aircraft, from the T45 to the F-18, in the event of an aborted takeoff or an emergency landing.

Flagship, and Environmental Stewardship Flagship. A separate Navy command sponsors and administers each flagship.

As the Health, Safety, and Fitness Flagship sponsor, NETC is responsible for coordinating policy that encourages volunteer participation.

NETC also provides flagship project information and technical support to Navy commands and holds an annual awards board to select and publicize Navy-wide flagship award winners.

According to NETC Commander Rear Adm. Don Quinn, taking the time to devote to improving health, safety and fitness can have significant and lasting effects.

“Getting out into the community, forming relationships and showing that we are good neighbors is extremely important,” said Quinn.

“The commands that participate in VDI from page 1

we now have only 152 monitors and three servers.

So we save on electricity, manpower, and time,” Quinn said. “In terms of mission effectiveness, the most important thing is speed. It’s so much better for the students. It’s reliable, it's faster, and instructors now spend less time fighting technology and more time teaching. It is clear that once we incorporate this change in more than 2,500 electronic classrooms containing more than 23,000 computers that this is a huge deal for NETC and the Navy.”

Spearheaded by NETC’s Information Technology Services Department (N6), the initiative stemmed from a mission imperative requiring cost effective delivery of training content.

During the planning process, the integrated proj-

ect team determined VDI should be phased in throughout the domain because of diverse training environments and multiple stakeholders with varying requirements.

Because several training applications are learning site specific, the team needed to consider each site and decided which workstations, programs and applications could be delivered as a service to the student.

The virtual system requires no desktop operating system or disk drives, and no virus or spyware monitoring requirement. It would also need to have full Universal Serial Bus (USB) capability to support thumb drives, and dual monitor capability but no refresh requirements due to software updates or new applications, and no media, graphics or memory restrictions.

Desktop virtualization

The gears are seldom called into service. There were only five traps last year, Pitts said. But the equipment must be ready at all times. The arresting gear is an essential element to NASP; without a functioning emergency system aircraft cannot fly.

The E-28 Arresting Gear Division is part of the Air Operations Department at Forrest Sherman Field. The crew consists of 30 aviation boatswain’s mates – equipment and handling experts – who man the airfield seven days a week. The Sailors work to ensure that the six sets of arresting gears are ready at all times.

Daily operations follow a strict routine, Pitts said.

The day starts bright and early at 5:30 a.m. with daily maintenance checks, followed by corrosion control on all 12 arresting gear engines.

If there are any discrepancies on any of the engines, they are documented and corrected immediately.

According to Cmdr.

Sean O’Brien, NETC’s deputy chief information officer, it reduces desk-side support costs by up to 40 percent through centralized desktop and application deployment and management, and improved desktop reliability.

“Productivity and flexibility is boosted by providing users with anywhere and soon ‘any-device access’ to their work,” O’Brien said. “Security of the user’s data is also bolstered, and it simplifies disaster recovery by separating processing and storage from desktop hardware and lowers operational expenses by extending the life of periph-

“The benefits of virtualization are that it’s engineered to meet current requirement, it’s expandable for future demand and provides a standardized solution for student application loads,” he said.

O’Brien says the successful implementation of VDI is the result of outstanding cooperation and teamwork.

“The success of this project is the result of close collaboration of the dedicated VDI integrated project team and CNATT’s commitment and willingness to work closely with the team to ensure that all training delivery requirements were incorporated into the solution design.”

Using the lessons learned from the initial roll out at the Keesler training unit, NETC can template the process across the domain.

Currently, the Arresting Gear Division is rigorously preparing for its annual certification, which is a full review of overall operations. The certification is comprised of an inspection and tests including a dyno pull test and a stall test in which the results must exceed 4,000 pounds.

Pitts and his crewmembers are going through a detailed checklist to make sure everything is ready.

“We rehab all of our engines and make sure everything is running like it should,” Pitts said.

For the past three years, the NASP Arresting Gear Division has received outstanding scores on certification inspections and Pitts, who joined the division last year, hopes to keep up that record.

The Arresting Gear Division also operates as the backbone of the setup and breakdown of the annual Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show at the air operations field. Throughout the year, Arresting Gear personnel stay on top of maintenance obligations in preparation for this signature event.

You can’t escape from the holiday backlash

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist

“Is it time?” I thought to myself as I sipped my coffee and stared at our lifeless Christmas tree.

I could flip the switch to electrify the tiny lights, top off the stagnant water in the stand, and blur my eyes to the curling branches and falling needles for one more week. Or, I could take the whole damned thing down.

Positioning myself closer to the tree, I considered my options. I cocked my head sideways and sighed, remembering the lovely pine smell on that first night just after Thanksgiving break. This tree had been with us for a month of celebrating, shopping, eating, baking and gift giving.

Shouldn’t I keep her for one more week?

In my sentimental haze, I reached out to touch the lovely blown glass sailboat ornament my husband had given me years ago, and as my hand brushed against the branch, I set off a veritable avalanche of dead pine needles.

“That’s it,” I thought, “she’s gotta go.”

One by one, I removed and wrapped our tree decorations, packing them away in the storage closet under the stairs. The ornaments, the beaded garland, the lights, the skirt and the angel. Using a turkey baster, I sucked the scummy water out

About the columnist Lisa Smith Molinari, mother of three, has been a military spouse for 19 years (and running). Her humor column, “The Meat and Potatoes of Life,” appears weekly in newspapers and on Stripes Military Moms, a website associated with Stars and Stripes newspaper. She also writes columns for Military Spouse magazine and a blog at www.themeat andpotatoesoflife.com.

Molinari and her family are currently stationed at Naval Station Mayport in Jacksonville, Fla. of the tree stand, and detached the naked tree, lugging the dead carcass across our family room, out the back door and across the yard, finally heaving her into the gutter in front of

our mailbox.

Fueled by a colossal sense of relief, I marched back into the house, going room by room to purge all evidence of Christmas.

I shook the candy wrappers out of the stockings, packed away the Nativity scene, derailed the train, bubblewrapped the ceramic Christmas trees, stored the Santa mugs and silenced the jingle bells.

I filled garbage bags with dying poinsettias, stale cookies, burnt candles, wrinkled wrapping paper, used doilies, broken candy canes, half a cheese ball, a whole fruitcake, a carton of egg nog and a stripped turkey carcass.

Invigorated, I stormed out onto the porch and unwound the garland from the columns, plucked the light-up candy canes from the walkway, tugged until the twinkle lights gave way from the gutters and tore the wreath from the door, hurling it like a Frisbee into the gutter with the discarded tree.

Then, I set my eyes on the enormous blow-up snow globe, faithfully regurgitating the tiny Styrofoam balls in a continuous flurry over the inflatable snowman and his

penguin sidekick.

Yanking the outdoor extension cord from the outlet, I heard an electronic sizzle, then turned with sadistic satisfaction to watch the orb slowly suffocate and die on my lawn.

I was infuriated to see that the blow up monstrosity failed to give up its last puff of breath, leaving one stubborn bubble trapped in its folds of Visqueen and nylon. With homicidal vengeance, I bounded across the yard and onto the bubble, stomping the last sign of verve from the wretched ornament.

I exhausted the remainder of my cathartic frenzy by firing up the Shop Vac. With crazed eyes, I sucked up thousands of pine needles, glitter, crumbs, cookie sprinkles, red and green M&Ms, snips of ribbon, scraps of tissue paper and one or two gumdrops fringed with dog hair.

I dumped the Shop Vac canister in the trash, and along with several boxes and bags, and wheeled the whole shebang out to the curb next to the tree cadaver. Then, I grabbed the mail from the mailbox before heading inside.

I sat at the kitchen table in my freshly expunged house,

pleased to have wiped my slate clean and ready for a fresh start to the New Year.

But then, I opened the credit card bill. As I leafed through a month of reckless spending memorialized on paper, I took a slurp from my coffee cup and a drop dribbled from the rim, plopping onto my gut.

Moving the bill to one side, I stared down at the surprisingly large blob of flesh, dented in the middle where a cavernous belly button lay just under my shirt.

A month of overeating had turned my middle-aged mom tummy into an embarrassing flop of overhanging flab.

I realized that the real battle to purge myself of the holiday excesses had only just begun.

NAMI reaches critical milestone in TBI research project Navy Medicine Operational Training Center Public Affairs

A team of researchers from Navy medicine, the Veteran’s Administration and a university working with the Naval Aerospace Medical Institute (NAMI) Hyperbaric Medicine Department in Pensacola announced recently that they reached a critical milestone in a three-year research effort that could significantly impact the future treatment of persistent post-concussive syndrome (PPCS), which impacts some injured combat personnel in Afghanistan.

The research project “Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Post-Concussive Symptoms after mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Randomized, DoubleBlinded, Sham-Controlled Variable Dose Prospective Trial” is a collaborative partnership with Dr. David Cifu and other researchers from the Virginia Commonwealth University and McGuire Veterans Administration Medical Center in Richmond, Va., designed to help determine whether hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) might be an effective treatment for patients suffering from PPCS after mild traumatic brain injury (TBI).

The researchers have completed a series of 705 chamber compressions, logging more than 146 man-days of “bottom time,” Dec.13.

Capt. Brett Hart, the Navy’s

principal investigator on the project, said the study could yield positive results for a condition that has garnered widespread attention since the onset of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). According to Hart, the full impact of OIF/OEF-related mild TBI on service members is unknown, but conservative estimates place the number of individuals suffering from PPCS at more than 100,000.

“As of now, there is no defined treatment for PPCS,” he said, though some scientists have proposed HBO2 as a potential treatment for PPCS based on the theory that marginally functioning brain cells in and around damaged areas of the brain may be revived by improving oxygen availability, stimulating cellular repair and, ultimately, restoring neurological function.

“Our feasibility trial helps test whether or not volunteers with mild TBI can safely tolerate HBO2 exposure, will experience subjective reductions in their PPCS symptoms, and/or demonstrate objective improvements in their physiologic and neuropsychological performance,” Hart said.

Setting what Hart believes are new standards for quality objective conduct of clinical hyperbaric research, the study includes 62 active-duty U.S. Marine volunteers who were randomly assigned to breathe one of three different oxygen concentrations

(10.5 percent, 75 percent or 100 percent) at an absolute atmospheric pressure two times greater than that experienced at sea level. Because the study-breathing gasses were labeled only as gas “A,” “B” or “C” and all study volunteers were exposed to the same pressure in the hyperbaric chamber, both volunteers and researchers remained blinded to the volunteer’s specific exposure condition throughout

the HBO2 exposure phase of the study. Further, despite applying a battery of more than 25 symptom characterizing, neuropsychological and neurophysiologic tests, the researchers responsible for conducting baseline and postHBO2 exposure testing of Marine volunteers were also effectively blinded to the study gas assignments throughout the testing.

“Such scientific rigor is critical to ensuring the veracity of the results we obtain,” Hart said.

“Unlike previous unblinded, uncontrolled trials evaluating HBO2 exposure’s effects on PPCS, the results of our study are much less likely to be skewed by such confounders as researcher bias, Hawthorne and placebo effects.”

Complete results of the research project are not expected until after March 2013, when the last group of Marine volunteers completes a three-month follow up testing, the study’s blinding code is broken and the accumulated study results are analyzed.

Hart said that, regardless of outcome, the study provides significant value to Navy medicine and the Department of Defense, noting that hyperbaric team effort and resources provided during the course of the project are minimal compared to those required if HBO2 were to be accepted as a treatment for PPCS. “Objectively determining whether or not HBO2 therapy is an effective means of treating

never be bored

PPCS is critical,” Hart said.

“This is the primary goal of our study,” as he believes is the case with the companion TBI trials recently completed by the US Air Force and soon to be completed by the U.S. Army. “If HBO2 therapy proves to be effective, then the DoD will have gained a viable treatment option for an injury that currently has few to no therapeutic alternatives. If, on the other hand, HBO2 therapy is found to be ineffective, then the DoD will have gained the insight needed to help refocus its efforts on indentifying other, more effective treatments.”

NAMI reports to the Navy Medicine Operational Training Center (NMOTC), the recognized global leader in operational medical and aviation survival training, which in turn reports to Navy Medicine Education and Training Command (NMETC), which maintains oversight of Navy Medicine education and training.

NAMI, NMOTC and NMETC are all 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 more than 1 million 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.

Simple tips for getting fit in the new year

By Laura Garrett

(NAPS) – For many, controlling their weight starts with getting control of impulse eating. Often, in order to change behaviors, people must first acknowledge the patterns of behavior that lead them to eat impulsively.

It starts with a list One of the biggest culprits is going to the grocery store without a list.

Supermarkets set up their aisles for impulse buying and quick hunger fixes. Breaking the behavior chain that leads to bad decisions often starts with changing routines. For example: • Eat a piece of fruit before shopping.

• Create a shopping list template – keep copies in the car and add addi-

tional items as needed.

• Stick to the shopping list.

• Use coupons only for items on the list.

Learn how to lunch Workday lunches can be another opportunity for impulse eating to take hold. If you’re one of those workers who waits until 11:30 a.m. (after hunger has already set in) to decide where to go out for lunch or what to order in, you may find yourself often resorting to high-fat, high-calorie options like fast food. Here are some suggestions to make better choices: • Have fruit at 10 a.m.

• Pack a brown-bag lunch the night before. This will also save money.

• Pack or purchase lunches on sliced bread. Rolls can have twice the calo-

ries of sliced bread.

• Salads are great, but measure the salad dressing or use vinegar.

Make mealtime meaningful Sometimes, simple things can make a difference at mealtime. For instance: • Choose carbohydrates that are low on the glycemic scale, such as fruits, veggies and whole grains.

• Count to 10 before grabbing something to eat.

• Make the slogan “The kitchen closes at 9 p.m.” a mind-set.

Today is a good day to begin Making positive behavior changes to avoid impulse eating is an essential factor in health and weight management. Start today by becoming aware of those behaviors that lead you astray from your weight management goals.

NMOTC service members, civilians attend holiday nutrition seminar From Navy Medicine Education and Training Command Public Affairs

Service members attached to Navy medicine’s recognized global leader in operational medical and aviation survival training attended a seminar recently designed to showcase basic nutrition and maintaining an eating plan during the holiday season which is applicable the whole year.

Navy Medicine Operational Training Center (NMOTC) personnel; including those from NMOTC component commands Naval Aerospace Medical Institute (NAMI), Naval Survival Training Institute (NSTI) and the Aviation Survival Training Center (ASTC) Pensacola, attended the course, taught by Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Portside

Fitness Center Fitness Specialist Nicole Gilchrest.

She hosted an open forum, soliciting questions from the more than 50 service members attending, focusing on basic nutrition, finding a metabolic rate, forming an individual eating plan, and shopping for groceries, as well as creating a healthy diet centered around moderation.

“Nutrition is important all year round but it seems we throw caution to the wind when it comes to the holidays,” she said. “We eat for social reasons not because our body needs it, and this is the time of year we can get into real trouble with weight gain.”

During the class, Gilchrest explained strategies designed to assist personnel in remaining lean, but still enjoying holiday foods.

Plan for getting and staying healthy in 2013 live. This may help get some items checked off your “to do” list and clear your mind.

• Set goals for healthy eating and physical activity. Motivate yourself with fun activities that you can do with others, like flag football.

Physical activity • Be active every day and make time for physical activity. Work activity into your day, whether by parking farther away from stores to do your holiday shopping or walking around the mall or outdoor shops one full time before you buy anything.

Balance, balance, balance • Share healthful recipes with family members and friends. Often, alternatives that are lower in fat, sugar, salt or cholesterol can be substituted for ingredients in even the most traditional recipes.

(NAPS) – The new year is a perfect time to focus on family and friends, not food. It’s also an important time to move more and eat better.

To help, the Weight-control Information Network (WIN), a national information service of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, offers the following tips so you can stay fit in 2013: Time management • Plan and prepare meals and snacks. Shop ahead of time for ingredients. Reach for quick snacks that are healthy, such as whole-grain crackers and peanut butter or veggies with low-fat dip.

• Go for a walk after a meal. Run some holiday errands or take a quick stroll where you work or

Gilchrest, who also serves as an MWR Fitness Navy Operational Fitness and Fueling Series (NOFFS) instructor, said there are a variety of methods service members can employ to control their caloric intake.

“I hope I provided a common sense approach to nutrition and the template on how to make an individual successful with nutrition and fitness goals,” she said. “I want to make people self-sufficient and confident about nutritional choices so they are not dependent on the next new dieting fad to hit the internet or any other source of media. We eat right and train because we love our bodies not because we hate it.”

Gilchrest also highlighted

NOFFS during the class, citing the two-hour course as a method of teaching active duty personnel how to train and focus on proper body mechanics.

“This program helps to reduce the risk injury of our active-duty men and women while teaching them how to become efficient at their job while in the line of duty,” she said. “This program also offers a nutrition template with a listing of foods to go along with the template. The eating system is to fuel our military athletes for optimal performance.”

Gilchrest said Pensacola MWR Fitness offers several courses to beneficiaries of the facilities, including a two-day course entitled Mission Nutrition, an in-depth offering expanding on the nutritional information presented at the NMOTC seminar.

NMCRS volunteers NATTC commissions a new CWO of the quarter praised Story, photo

by Lt. Jonathan Bacon Naval Air Technical Training Center PAO

From NMCRS

Each quarter the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) Pensacola honors two dedicated volunteers with the Volunteer of the Quarter award. For the July through September 2012 quarter; the awards went to Ken Webb at the NMCRS Thrift Shop and LeAnna Clarke at the NMCRS office.

These volunteers helped clients in any way they could, while providing them with extra-special service.

Webb started volunteering at the thrift shop in 2009. Since then, he has contributed more than 800 volunteer hours and received two awards for his contributions. In April 2010, he received the Volunteer of the Month award at the thrift shop and last month he was honored with the Volunteer of the Quarter award.

“Ken is such a

hard-worker,” said Mattie Kirk the chair of the thrift shop.

“When we had our volunteer luncheon this past October, Ken stayed to help out at the store. He knew people come from all over to get here and he didn't want them to be disappointed to find it closed when they arrived.”

The thrift shop was not the only part of NMCRS Pensacola blessed with a remarkable volunteer who provided special service to NMCRS clients.

Client Services Assistant (CSA) LeAnna Clarke was selected as the office Volunteer of the Quarter because of her consistent, professional service as the face of NMCRS that clients first experienced. In addition to being extremely dependable, readily available and courteous, she welcomed clients, guests and potential volunteers by making them feel

welcome, at ease and valued. According to Chair of Volunteers Ginny Goodman, Clarke is “totally reliable and is good with everybody.”

Since Clarke started volunteering in 1998, she has provided more than 2,000 volunteer hours of caring, compassionate service.

N M C R S Pensacola appreciates all of its volunteers, especially those who really want to help service members and their families. If you are caring, compassionate, considerate, dedicated and empathetic, and are interested in becoming a very special NMCRS Pensacola team member, call 4522300 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. and ask for Ginny, Amanda, Chloe or Jackie.

Make sure you tell the person who answers the phone that you are calling to inquire about volunteering.

ATC Scott Ouellette, an instructor at Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC), was commissioned a chief warrant officer (CWO) recently during a ceremony at the National Naval Aviation Museum onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola.

With his family, friends and fellow staff members in attendance, Ouellette passed his chief’s anchors down to the next generation of chiefs.

Afterward, with the help of his family he put on his new officer’s uniform. His mother and mother-in-law placed his warrant officer shoulder boards on his shirt and his father helped him into his new dress blue jacket. Ouellette’s 3-year-old daughter, Olivia, with a little help from his wife Holly, placed his combination cover on his head.

“The support of my family, and the values my parents instilled in me growing up, brought me the success I have had to this point in my career,” said Ouellette. “It’s important that the best Sailors in the fleet come back as instructors to training center’s such as NATTC, as I did, to pass their experience down to the next generation of Sailors.

“As a warrant officer I intend to continue to lead and train Sailors to do their best work for our Navy, and to be ready to someday relieve me as a chief petty officer or as a chief warrant officer,” he said.

NATTC’s Commanding Officer Capt. James Daniels presided over the ceremony and former NATTC staff member retired CWO5 Marv Wimpee was the guest speaker and administered the oath of office to Ouellette.

“Chief Warrant Officer Ouellette is the third mustang to be commissioned at NATTC in 2012,” said Daniels. “For almost 70 years Naval Air Technical Training Center, since it’s commissioning in 1943, has had outstanding instructors such as Ouellette training technical experts in support of the Naval Aviation Enterprise.”

NATTC graduates approximately 15,000

The IMAX film “Rocky Mountain Express” features scenes such as this view of a steam-powered locomotive passing through a section of the Canadian Rockies.

New IMAX film on track at museum

By Janet Thomas Gosport Staff Writer

A new IMAX movie is scheduled to debut today, Jan. 4, at the IMAX Naval Aviation Memorial Theatre at the National Naval Aviation Museum.

“Rocky Mountain Express” takes audiences on a steam train journey through the Canadian Rockies and highlights the challenges that engineers faced when they were building the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR), the transcontinental railway that was completed in 1885.

Retracing the railway’s original route, the film weaves together aerial cinematography, rugged landscape vistas and archival images and maps to tell the story

“Rocky Mountain Express” Now showing: 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. daily. It is 40 minutes long. Rated G, suitable for all.

of the epic engineering feat.

Spanning thousands of miles and several natural barriers, the grand project and its wandering ribbon of steel shaped a new

nation.

The film, which was released in September 2011, was directed by Canadian filmmaker Stephen Low. It features the Canadian Pacific Railway’s restored 4-6-4 H1b Hudson steam locomotive 2816.

Low also directed “Rescue,” another IMAX film that has been featured at the museum.

The museum’s IMAX theater is one of the largest IMAX theaters in the world and has the largest screen in Florida. The screen is 10 times larger than a traditional cinema screen. The projector passes 70mm film at 24 frames per second over a three-foot diameter rotor turning at 180 mph, projecting an image on the screen magnified 273 times the size of the film frame.
