CNO, MCPON in Cradle of Naval Aviation Tour training commands, USS Independence From Naval Education and Training Command Public Affairs

Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. John Richardson and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) Mike Stevens visited commands onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola Jan. 6-7.

The visit served to provide the senior leaders an overview of aviation training, as well as an opportunity to tour the littoral combat ship USS Independence (LCS 2). The ship is operating out of the station while the crew conducts operational evaluation and testing of the mine countermeasures mission package.

The CNO and MCPON were greeted by Commander Naval Education and Training Command Rear Adm. Mike White, Chief of Naval Air Training Rear Adm. Dell Bull and NAS Pensacola Commanding Officer Capt.

Keith Hoskins. As part of the visit, they saw flight simulators used by student aviators at squadrons under Training Air Wing Six (CTW 6).

During the tour of Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) they saw how instructors use a blend of standard and electronic classrooms with hands-on lab work to Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm.

Steps for school success : second semester From Carissa Bergosh NAS Pensacola School Liaison Officer

Now that second semester is in full swing having begun Jan.5, is your child settling into the school routine? Or is he still reluctant to get back into any kind of routine? Is he still forgetting that weekly spelling/vocabulary test? Is it hard to get him up in the morning for school like it was back in August? Are the number of tardies and absences increasing?

There are some positive steps you can take: 1. Determine if he is getting enough rest to be successful in school. Students today are involved in a myriad of activities in addition to school, including youth sports, dance, music, or karate classes; cheerleading, band, or JROTC practice; faith-based youth activities; and home computer games. Older students work many hours a week to assist with car and insurance payments. With physical tiredness comes a weariness that makes it hard to stay awake at school to deal with assignments, homework and time management.

2. Talk to your child about his busy schedule. Try to determine whether it is due to homework requirements, activi-

ties, or work. Can something be eliminated? Would putting together a study plan actually give him more time.

3. Then map out a plan to insure that he gets the sleep he needs. A rested student is a more interested and engaged student.

4. Look over that second quarter report card. Report cards were sent home Jan. 11 so you should have it in hand by now. Students making Ds and Fs no matter how hard they have studied or how many extra credit assignments they turned in are more apt to tune out and stop trying. If this continues for any length of time, it can lead to failure. Their somewhat positive attitude at the beginning of the school year turns to frustration after a semester of really trying, but getting the same grade over and over.

5. Engage your child in some quiet dialogue about what he believes is the problem. Don’t add to his frustration by piling on saying, “Why don’t you study harder? Why don’t you ask for help?” when that may be exactly what he thought he was doing. During the discussion you will probably hear many of these excuses: tiredness, boredom and frustration. Be an active listener. Genuinely express sympathy for the causes.

6. Now map out an academic plan which could include you getting him help or him getting help for himself. Joining a study group or getting tutoring are two ways to receive help. For active-duty military dependents, www.TUTOR. com/military provides professional tutors to help with all math, science, social studies, and English subjects from elementary to advanced levels. The tutor will work with your child in a one-to-one secure online classroom where everything is anonymous. The tutors use an interactive whiteboard, file sharing and instant messaging to work through the problem. Because of this, I frequently advise parents that students younger than third grade may need parental assistance to work with the tutor. Older students should have no problem working with the tutor, and each tutor is screened, certified and background-checked. No personal information is ever shared between tutor and student.

Students do want to succeed, but as children they aren’t always able to figure out by themselves what the actual problem is. With patience and understanding, you can take these suggested actions to help your child figure out how he can achieve academic success.

Workshop offers training for families with special needs From Jay Cope NASWF PAO

The Specialized Training of Military Parents (STOMP) is coming to NAS Pensacola to put on a two-day workshop Jan. 21-22 providing information and training for families with special needs.

STOMP is an organization dedicated solely to address the needs of military families who have family members with special medical or educational needs. Established in 1985, STOMP has been recognized as the premier resource for families within the military who have children, youth, and adult family members with special needs.

The organizations mission and program exists to empower military parents, individuals with disabilities, and service providers with knowledge, skills, and resources. STOMP provides a way for families so that they are able to access services to create a collaborative environment for family and professional partnerships without regard to geographic location.

“This is a great chance for parents to meet and discuss with the professionals from STOMP about all the services offered and provided to help aid military families with special needs,” said Christopher Hendrix, who is the Naval Air Station Whiting Field school liaison officer. “As our first year hosting this event we are very excited for this opportunity of working with STOMP and providing a way for families to network and gain

information.”

STOMP accomplishes their mission by providing workshops on a combination of topics pertaining to military families and specifically tailored to the needs and concerns of families at specific installations. Some topics covered in these workshops include: • In-depth information about parents’ rights and responsibilities (IDEA, 504, DODEA, FERPA, IEP and IFSP) in achieving special education services for their children whether located in the United States or overseas.

• Accessing educational and medical records and developing a comprehensive home file.

• Accessing resources in both current duty stations and future assignments enabling expedient transition to new services.

• Making informed decisions with respect to overseas assignments and DODEA. • Working effectively with military systems such as TRICARE, ECHO, and the EFMP. The training is scheduled for noon to 6 p.m. Jan. 21 and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jan. 22 at the Lighthouse Terrace Community Center, 1 Price Ave. Registration is limited to the first 35 individuals. Families are encouraged to bring their child(ren) if they are not able to obtain childcare for all or part of each day they are planning to attend.

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.

A healthy diet resolution: Eat fat to lose weight

By Kristy Malone NASP SAPR Civilian Victim Advocate

T

he majority of Americans who make New Year’s resolutions set a goal to lose weight.

Additionally, most people who are trying to lose weight this year have also tried losing weight in the past, often by following a low-fat diet.

The “fat is bad” myth that gained popularity in the 1990s has now been rejected by the scientific world, but most people have yet to make the paradigm shift.

The truth is that fat is a critical component to our health.

Have you ever tried a lowfat diet only to find that not only did you fail to reach your target weight, but you also felt tired, irritable and frequently hungry or unsatisfied?

Every cell in your body requires fat. Your brain alone is made up of 60 percent fat, most of which is saturated fat.

Cell walls are made up of a lipid bilayer, which allows nutrients to come into the cell and wastes to be expelled from the cell, and also maintains the structural integrity of the cell. This cell membrane

How to submit a commentary

also serves an important role in the communication between cells to keep your organs functioning optimally.

People who aren’t getting sufficient fat in their diet or are consuming poor quality fats tend to experience lethargy, brain fog, vitamin deficiencies (particularly the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K), gallbladder dysfunction and weight gain.

In addition to glucose, fats are used as an energy source so without adequate fat in your diet you will quickly find yourself running out of steam.

The other problem with low-fat diets is that they tend to be high in processed foods.

Pre-packaged frozen meals and meal replacement shakes or bars are often full of chemicals, refined carbohydrates, and sugar.

One of the most dangerous ingredients found in processed foods are hydrogenated oils. What we now

know about fat and heart health is that trans fat – a byproduct of hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils – is the real culprit of heart disease.

Eating the wrong fats is just as unhealthy or worse than eating too little fat. In fact, the FDA has required that all trans fats be removed from the food supply by 2018. Until then, reading the ingredients and carefully selecting the foods you eat is the only way to protect yourself from these damaging fats. Better yet, do more cooking at home since most fast food contains trans fats.

Some healthy, whole food sources of fats for cooking are cold-pressed olive oil (for low or medium heat), unrefined coconut oil, grass-fed butter or ghee, tallow and lard.

Diet fads come and go, but the best way to achieve a healthy weight and optimal health is through whole, nu-

trient dense foods. When toxic chemicals and highly processed ingredients are removed from the diet, the body is unburdened and able to achieve a natural balance. Instead of stocking up on processed low-fat foods this January, here are some tips to jumpstart your resolution and make for a healthier, happier new year: • Pantry/fridge makeover: Take inventory of the products you are consuming and eliminate products that contain chemicals, preservatives, and dangerous ingredients and replace them with safe and healthful alternatives.

• Start reading the ingredients rather than the nutrition facts. Educate yourself about what’s in your food and avoid ingredients you can’t pronounce or don’t know what they are. Make a point to be aware of what you are eating.

• Incorporate more healthy fats and remove the danger-

ous fats from your diet: Use whole food sources of fats for cooking and avoid the highly processed liquid vegetable oils and hydrogenated oils.

• Eat whole foods instead of processed foods. Try to shop for organic produce as much as possible. Conventional fruits and vegetables are loaded with chemical pesticides, may be lower in nutrients, and may be genetically modified.

• Replace the unhealthy foods you are consuming with healthful alternatives.

This doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice taste or deprive yourself. For example, instead of using margarine products full of hydrogenated oils, eat butter from grassfed cows. Instead of refined table salt use mineral rich, additive-free sea salt or Himalayan salt. Instead of refined sugar or artificial sweeteners (I could write a whole article about the dangers of these), use raw local honey, real maple syrup, or molasses. Instead of drinking soda (diet sodas and calorie free sodas included) try some fizzy and delicious kombucha (found in local grocery stores).

Submissions must be bylined and include a daytime phone number or e-mail contact for the writer. All submissions are subject to editing to comply with policy and standards. Send commentary submissions to Janet.Thomas.ctr@navy.mil.

Naval history anniversaries for 2016

By Paul Taylor Naval History and Heritage Command, Communication and Outreach Division

T

hose of us in the history business are looking ahead to the opportunities 2016 presents for us to honor and remember momentous events from our Navy’s history. Here are some of the important anniversaries.

designed for shipboard use. As a result, USS North Carolina becomes the first ship of the U.S. Navy equipped to carry and operate aircraft.

100th anniversary – On May 6, 1916, the first ship-to-shore radio telephone voice conversation is held. Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels in Washington, D.C., speaks wirelessly with Capt. Lloyd Chandler onboard USS New Hampshire (BB 25) at sea off the Virginia Capes.

15th anniversary – On October 7, 2001, after the Sept. 11, 2001 al Qaeda terrorist attacks, Operation Enduring Freedom begins with Tomahawk and carrier air strikes on targets in Afghanistan. Later at sea, Navy amphibious forces establish a 750 mile supply line through Pakistan to Marines in Afghanistan.

25th anniversary – On Jan. 16, 1991, at 7 p.m. Eastern, President George H. W. Bush announced to the country that the liberation of Kuwait had begun. The offensive action against Iraq, codenamed Operation Desert Storm is carried out under provisions of 12 U.N. Security Council resolutions and resolutions of both houses of the U.S. Congress. Combat Operations last through the end of February. Forward deployed naval forces provided protection for early introduction of land-based ground and air assets, and may well have deterred further aggression by Iraq. Maritime superiority and unchallenged control of the sea enabled the safe and timely delivery of equipment, supplies and spare parts necessary to support the allied campaign. Naval aviation complemented allied air operations, added flexibility to the air campaign and deterred reintroduction of Iraqi aircraft from Iran into the conflict while Tomahawk cruise missiles took out heavily defended targets in Iraq and significantly degraded enemy air defenses.

75th anniversary – On March 11, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs the Lend-Lease Act. The act changes the “cash and carry” provisions of the Neutrality Act of 1939 to permit delivery of war materials to the Allied Powers on credit or lease.

50th anniversary – On April 10, 1966, the River Patrol Force commences operations during the Vietnam War. River patrol boats (PBRs) operate on inland waters of South Vietnam including the Mekong Delta stopping and searching sampans for contraband. By June, 80 PBRs were in service and during Operation Game Warden, the PBRs would average 80 firefights per month during 1966-68.

70th anniversary – On April 24, 1946, the Navy’s Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, is established. Then-Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. Chester Nimitz, had a vision to create a flight demonstration team in order to raise the public’s interest in naval aviation and boost Navy morale.

Today, the mission of the “Blues” is to showcase the pride and professionalism of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps by inspiring a culture of excellence and service to country through flight demonstrations and community outreach.

100th anniversary – On July 12, 1916, an AB 3 flying boat, piloted by Lt. Godfrey de Chevalier, is catapulted from USS North Carolina (ACR 12) while underway in Pensacola Bay. The launch completes calibration of the first catapult

150th anniversary – On July 25, 1866, David G. Farragut is commissioned the first admiral in the U.S. Navy, by a Congressional Act. Farragut is born on July 5, 1801 near Knoxville, Tenn.

Known for the quote, “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead” during the Battle of Mobile Bay in 1864, he is appointed a midshipman in 1810 and becomes the first rear admiral in July 1862. He is appointed vice admiral by President Abraham Lincoln on Dec. 21, 1864. Farragut dies on Aug. 14, 1870 after 59 years of service. In honor of Adm. Farragut, the U.S. Navy names four ships in his honor.

75th anniversary – On Sept. 27, 1941, SS Patrick Henry, the first U.S. Liberty ship, is launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt at Baltimore, Md. More than 2,700 of the ships were built using a simple design at the cost of around $2 million a ship. Tagged the “ugly ducklings” by FDR himself, the Liberty ships, and their later sister fleet, Victory ships, would carry “lend-lease” supplies and war armament to allied countries before and after the war.

Patrick Henry survives World War II, but is scrapped in 1960.

75th anniversary – On Oct. 20, 1941, USS Hornet (CV 8) is commissioned. During World War II, she partic-

ipates in the Doolittle Raid on Japan, the Battle of Midway, and the Solomon Campaign. On Oct. 26, 1942, at the Battle of Santa Cruz Islands, Hornet is severely damaged by the Japanese enemy and abandoned. Though U.S. destroyers attempt to scuttle her, Hornet remained afloat and was sunk by Japanese destroyers early the next morning.

50th anniversary – On Oct. 31, 1966, while serving as boat captain and patrol officer on board River Patrol Boat (PBR) 105 in Vietnam, BM1 James E. Williams and his crew are taken under fire, facing a superior number of enemy vessels. Williams leads his men to sink 65 enemy craft and inflict numerous casualties among the enemy. He is awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions. USS James E. Williams (DDG 95) is named in his honor.

50th anniversary – On Nov. 11, 1966, Gemini 12, the final of the project’s 10 manned flights, launches with former aviator Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin and Cmdr. James A. Lovell Jr., USN, as the command pilot. The mission lasted three days, 22 hours, and 34 minutes and included 59 orbits at an altitude of 162.7 nautical miles. The crew was recovered by a helicopter from squadron HS-11 aboard USS Wasp (CVS-18).

75th anniversary – On Dec. 7, 1941, in one of the defining moments in U.S. history, the Japanese attack the U.S. Pacific Fleet, and nearby military airfields and installations, based at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and removed the U.S. Navy’s battleship force as a possible threat to the Japanese Empire’s southward expansion. American shock and anger unites a divided nation and translates into a wholehearted commitment to victory in World War II.

Significant uniform changes slated for 2016

By MC3 Madailein Abbott CTF 73 Public Affairs

S

INGAPORE (NNS) – New and updated uniforms are scheduled to come online across the fleet for active duty and reserve Sailors in calendar year 2016. Most noticeably are the uniforms for women, which are being redesigned to match styles worn by men.

Along with redesigns, brand new uniforms will be added including a fitness suit that mimics a design used by the Marine Corps. Not all uniform updates will be noticed by Sailors stationed in Singapore, with little need for coveralls and cold weather parkas, but here are a few updates that will be seen in the fleet and at Navy installations around the world.

Lightweight Navy Working Uniform (NWU) Type I: This lightweight version of the current NWU has been in high demand

by Navy members stationed in tropical regions for several years.

Sailors located in Guam, Hawaii, Diego Garcia and Singapore will be the first to purchase this uniform around April of this year.

Starting Oct. 1, recruits will begin receiving them at recruit training command as part of their mandatory sea bag. Distribution to the rest of the fleet has not been established at this time.

Service Dress White/Blue Cover (Women): The cover normally worn by women with both the Service Dress White

and Blue uniforms will be phased out this year starting at recruit training command in April.

Enlisted women will now wear the “dixie cup” cover to establish a more standard style across the fleet. Female chiefs and officers will be assigned a combination cover resembling their male counterparts sometime this year for their respective dress uniforms.

Service Dress Blue (SDB): Both men and women, ranks E6 and below, will begin the transition to one service dress blue (cracker jack) uniform this year starting with the distribution at recruit training command in October. The style is similar to the current design with a few modern touches.

The trousers will have pockets and a zipper and while the traditional 13 buttons will remain, they will be purely decorative. The blouse will also contain extra side zippers making it easier to put on and take off. When the new SDB is issued to women, they will be required to wear the uniform with the “dixie cup” cover.

Fitness Suit: The new uniform will be worn over the Navy issued PT gear to protect Sailors from the elements during outdoor exercises and will also be

authorized to wear with civilian clothing. The fitness suit is being produced early this year with first sets being issued to incoming recruits in October. Mandatory possession of the uniform by all Sailors will be Jan. 1, 2020.

All Weather Coat: The design for the all-weather coat won’t be changing much except for going from single-breasted to double-breasted design due by 2017. Recruits already started receiving this updated coat in late 2015 as a beginning of the phase-out process.

Sailors should expect to see an increase in their uniform allowance in order to meet the mandatory wear date of 2020.

Sailors assigned to Navy Region Singapore have been eagerly awaiting the lightweight NWU since it was announced earlier this year. MA1 Dennis

Long said he is interested in seeing how it compares with the current uniform.

“It’ll be great to have on the really hot days here,” said Long.

“I’m hoping it won’t be as stiff as the current NWU and will have some breathing room. We could really use that being stationed out here where the humidity is high almost every day.”

“I think that the change for women’s blues to match the men’s uniforms will help make the fleet be more united,” said IT1 Amber Blair. “Everyone will be following the same regulations, having the same uniform standards and looking exactly the same instead of the big differences between the men and women. That’s important when we’re aiming for equality among all Sailors.”

CNO releases ‘A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority’ From Chief of Naval Operations Public Affairs

WASHINGTON (NNS) – Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson released “A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority,” Jan. 5, a document that addresses how the Navy will adapt to changes in the security environment and continue to fulfill its mission.

To read A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority, go to http://www. navy. mil/cno/docs/cno_stg.pdf.

The term “design” refers to the document’s built-in flexibility, recognizing the rapid rate of change occurring in both tech-

nology and the maritime domain.

“This guidance frames the problem and a way forward, while acknowledging that there is inherent and fundamental uncertainty in both the problem definition and the proposed solution,” said Richardson.

“As we move forward, we’ll respect that we won’t get it all right, and so we’ll monitor and assess ourselves and our surroundings as we go. We’ll learn and adapt, always getting better, striving to the limits of performance.”

The CNO’s design reaffirms the Navy’s mission, describes the strategic environment and identifies four lines of effort, each with corresponding objectives to guide the

actions of the Navy and its leaders.

The four lines of effort are the following: • Strengthen Naval Power at and from Sea. • Achieve High Velocity Learning at Every Level.

• Strengthen our Navy Team for the Future.

• Expand and Strengthen our Network of Partners.

The document also details four “Core Attributes” that serve as guiding criteria for command decisions in decentralized operations: integrity, accountability, initiative and toughness.

NASWF earns Navywide volunteerism recognition

By Jay Cope NAS Whiting Field PAO

N

aval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) was recognized by the Navy again recently for the beneficial role its Sailors play in the local community when the installation was selected as the runner-up in the Navywide competition for Project Good Neighbor in the Medium Ashore Category.

This is the second award the installation has received in the Navy’s annual Flagship community outreach program to recognize commands who excel in giving back to their localities.

The Flagship Awards recognize outstanding community service programs throughout the Navy every year in five categories: Project Good Neighbor; Personal Excellence Partnership; Health, Safety and Fitness; Campaign Drug Free; and Environmental Stewardship.

Shore, sea and overseas

commands are eligible to compete in three categories, based on the size of the command.

NAS Whiting Field previously took first place in the Environmental Stewardship category.

“Our mission is to train aviators for the military, however, it is also our responsibility to be good neighbors to our fellow residents,” NAS Whiting Field Commanding Officer Capt. Todd Bahlau said. “This recognition is special because it showcases the positive impact that our Sailors and civil-

ian employees make within our communities.”

The Chief of Navy Chaplains Rear Adm. Margaret Kibbens sent a certificate of appreciation to the base commemorating the achievement and thanking the base for “promoting community outreach, restoring hope and extending a helping hand.”

NASWF’s nomination package showcased the base’s nearly 2,000 hours of volunteer service to-

wards helping the less fortunate and improving the quality of life for struggling families. Volunteer programs and events that exemplified the installation’s efforts throughout 2015, included: Pensacola Florida Habitat for Humanity, United Way, ESCAROSA Coalition on the Homeless, Bay Area Food Bank, Helping Hand Missions of Florida, Peace on Earth in Action, Covenant Hospice of Milton and other opportuni-

ties that helped to make positive impacts in the local community.

Almost 20,000 people were aided through the volunteer efforts of the Whiting Field team and 14 percent of the base’s population volunteered time to help collect more than 50,000 pounds of food for those in need, transporting household goods for veterans who needed to move, and visiting hospice homes. Throughout the year, the volunteers signif-

icantly affected the Santa Rosa County community.

“We have an amazing group of Sailors here who are dedicated toward helping their neighbors in the local area. They not only work hard and are talented professionals in their chosen careers, but are tremendous citizens within their communities.

I couldn’t be prouder of their efforts and am extremely happy to serve alongside them,” Bahlau stated.

NASWF’s FFSC completes certification process From Jay Cope NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs

NAS Whiting Field (NASWF) service members can now be more confident than ever in the programs provided at the base’s Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC). Having completed a certification process administered by the Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) Dec. 10, the services offered at FFSC met all of the Department of Defense (DoD) criteria.

To ensure quality programs are offered, the CNIC conducts regular inspections every four years for each FFSC. Doing so ensures personnel have access to the same services at every FFSC, both domestic and international.

Due to the inspection’s extensive coverage, FFSC began reviewing their operating procedures and curriculum several months ago. The certification process consisted of both an online and on-site evaluation of all the services FFSC provides, including per-

sonal financial management, sexual assault prevention, individual counseling, resume writing, and transition assistance. More than 470 different criteria were inspected by the CNIC within a three day period, and resulted in no necessary corrective actions.

“Because no further corrective actions had to be made, our certification was not just a success, but an overwhelming success,” FFSC Director Sharon Boggs said.

With their current programs certified and standardized by

the CNIC, FFSC now has the ability to grow by providing additional services to personnel and their families. Additionally, the staff possess more than 100 years of experience between their own active-duty service and employment at FFSC, leaving Boggs confident of their capabilities.

“This means when service members on a small base like NASWF walk through our door they can receive the same, and in my opinion better, services as those offered on much larger Navy installa-

tions.”

Other FFSCs in the region, along with local staff and volunteers, helped make the certification a successful effort by reviewing current policies and procedures. As a token of their appreciation, FFSC invited the community to attend its open house Jan. 13, offering free coffee and donuts to visitors.

“The staff went above and beyond my expectations and I was amazed at how everyone stepped up to accomplish what was needed, I give them a big Bravo Zulu,” Boggs said.

Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” – Strength to Love, 1963.

“If we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective.” – Christmas sermon, Atlanta, Ga., 1967.

“Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.” – From the “I Have A Dream” speech in Washington, D.C., Aug. 28, 1963.

“We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” – Washington National Cathedral, March 31, 1968.

“Make a career of humanity.

Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a better person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in.” – March for Integrated Schools, April 18, 1959.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.

Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” – Letter from Birmingham, Ala., jail, April 16, 1963.

“True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.” – Stride Toward Freedom, 1958.

“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.” – Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, Oslo, Norway, 1964.

Civil rights giant fought for principles with universal applicability

By Michael Jay Friedman http://iipdigital.usembassy.gov

mericans on each third Monday of January honor the life and achievements of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968), the 1964 Nobel Peace laureate and the individual most associated with the triumphs of the African-American civil rights movement during the 1950s and 1960s.

As a political organizer, supremely skilled orator and advocate of nonviolent protest, King was pivotal in persuading his fellow Americans to end the legal segregation that prevailed throughout the South and parts of other regions, and in sparking support for the civil rights legislation that established the legal framework for racial equality in the United States.

The occasion is a federal holiday. In 2016, it falls on Jan. 18.

King was among those champions of justice whose influence transcended national boundaries. A student of the philosophy and principles of nonviolence enunciated

by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948), King in 1959 traveled to India, where he studied further the legacy of the man his widow, Coretta Scott King, later would call his “political mentor.”

The late Nelson Mandela, accepting the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize, similarly credited King as his predecessor in the effort to resolve justly the issues of racism and human dignity.

Son of the prominent Atlanta pastor Martin Luther King Sr., King at the age of 26 completed a doctorate in theology at Boston University. In 1954, while completing his dissertation, King accepted the pastorate at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala. It was in Montgomery the following year that Rosa Parks, an African-American seamstress, was jailed for refusing to give up her seat on a segregated municipal bus to a white passenger. The incident sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, in which the city’s African-Americans refused to patronize its segregated bus system. King led the organization directing the boycott and became the movement’s pub-

Gandhi and further refined his thought on nonviolent social protest.

During the early 1960s, King and the SCLC initiated a number of peaceful protests against segregated institutions. In May 1963, Birmingham, Ala., Police Commissioner Eugene “Bull” Connor unleashed police dogs and highpressure fire hoses against peace-

This was an alliance of black ministers and churches organized to pursue nonviolent direct action against segregation. SCLC leaders hoped to change public opinion and to complement the legal challenges to segregation pursued by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). King was a dynamic force within the SCLC, emerging as its leading fund-raiser and as a skillful political tactician who successfully forged alliances with sympathetic Northern whites. In 1959, King traveled to India, where he met with followers of

ful demonstrators, many of them schoolchildren. The images horrified the nation. King was arrested during these demonstrations and from his jail cell produced “Letter from Birmingham City Jail,” in which he argued that one who breaks an unjust law to arouse the consciousness of his community “is in reality expressing the highest respect for law,” provided he acts “openly, lovingly and with a willingness to accept the penalty.” That August, African-American leaders organized the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Before an estimated quarter-million civil

rights supporters gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, King offered one of the most powerful orations in American history.

Generations of schoolchildren have learned by heart lines from the “I Have a Dream” speech, in which King prayed for the day when people would “not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

The images from Birmingham and Washington helped crystallize support for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson July 2, 1964.

In 1965, the violent Selma, Ala., police response to a voting rights march sparked a similar surge in support for King, the civil rights movement and for legislation guaranteeing the right of political participation. Consequently, the Voting Rights Act became law Aug. 6, 1965.

With the passage of these civil rights laws, King continued to employ his strategy of nonviolent social protest even as some younger leaders at times argued for more radical means. King also broadened his agenda to encompass efforts to focus attention on African-American poverty. King was in Memphis, Tenn., in support of striking black garbage workers when, on April 4, 1968, an assassin’s bullet cut him down at the age of 39.

Americans honor the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. with a national holiday celebrated on the third Monday of each January, and by a national monument, constructed in sight of the Lincoln Memorial, where King inspired Americans with his dreams of racial justice and equality. Countless individuals and organizations, including The King Center in Atlanta, carry on his work.

Pensacola’s Martin Luther King Parade is scheduled for 11 a.m. Jan. 18.

Floats line up at 9 a.m. downtown. Parade begins at 11 a.m. and runs through 3 p.m.

lic face, appealing to white Americans’ spirit of brotherhood. When the federal courts, following the reasoning of the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision, declared the bus segregation law unconstitutional, King emerged as a national figure.

In 1957, King was among the founders of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC).

olunteers from NAS Pensacola tenant commands have lent a hand recently with the preservation of local aquatic preserves.

In December, volunteers from Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) assisted Keep Pensacola Beautiful and Florida Department of Environmental Protection: Northwest Florida Aquatic Preserves in conducting an oyster reef build at Bayou Grande.

The reef build event is part of an ongoing project called Bayou Grande Living Shorelines, and focuses on addressing environmental issues at Bayou Grande such as eroding shorelines and the decrease of

natural habitat. According to Keep Pensacola Beautiful, volunteers from NAS Pensacola have participated in nearly every Living Shoreline volunteer event proving essential to achieving the project’s goals.

NAS Pensacola volunteers have included groups from Naval Air Technical Training Center (ATC, AS, AME, PR Divisions); Naval Information Operations Command (NIOC) and the Air Force’s 359 Training Squadron (TRS) Detachment One. Keep Pensacola Beautiful states that “the dedi-

cation and enthusiasm of the (military volunteers) is particularly commendable.”

Throughout the year, Keep Pensacola Beautiful collects

barrels of oyster shells from local participating restaurants to be transported, dumped and dried by the sun in what is virtually a vacant parking lot. From there, NAS Pensacola volunteers bagged the dried shells and stacked the bags.

In December, volunteers from NATTC transported the stacked oyster bags from the staging site to Bayou Grande and strategically placing them in the water in attempts to mitigate the impact of boat waves and erosion of shorelines.

Oyster shells act as the pre-

ferred substrate of oyster larvae, or spat, to settle and mature, and live adult oysters are able to filter 50 gallons of water in a 24-hour period. The outcomes of constructing reefs from recycled oyster shells include a decrease in erosion rates caused by waves, a natural water filtration system and a natural habitat for marine species to thrive.

The Bayou Grande Living Shorelines project received funding from Gulf Power and Southern Company through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation partnership.

Gulf Islands National Seashore extends hours From National Park Service

Gulf Islands National Seashore has extended operating hours at Fort Pickens and Perdido Key areas from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. The extended hours are in response to public comments requesting access during the early morning and late evening for fishing, star gazing, and other activities.

The seashore will no longer sell the night owl pass, which was offered for an additional $30 to allow after-hours access for fishing. Visitors who want to fish at Fort Pickens or Perdido Key before dawn or after dark won’t be required to purchase this additional pass.

“Whether you want to fish, watch the sunrise or sunset, stargaze or have an evening stroll on the beach, you can enjoy the park from early morning to

late evening,” said Superintendent Dan Brown.

These changes will also help the park better provide for visitor safety and protect park resources and facilities. The expanded operating hours more closely match those hours that a majority of visitors use the park, and will enable the park to have park rangers on duty to respond to visitor emergencies and incidents, and to monitor park resources and facilities.

“We are committed to providing visitors with the best possible Gulf Islands experience,” Brown said.

The visitors centers and museums at Fort Barrancas, Fort Pickens and the Naval Live Oaks areas are open daily

from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The Naval Live Oaks Visitor Center will be closed Jan. 18 for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

Programs scheduled in January include: • “Advanced Redoubt: Legacy in Brick & Mortar,” is offered at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.

Visitors should meet at the entrance to Advanced Redoubt.

• “Fort Barrancas: Guardian of the Gulf,” is offered at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Friday and Saturday at 2 p.m.

Visitors should meet at the Fort Barrancas Visitor Center.

• “Stories of Survival,” 12:30 p.m.

Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Visitors should meet at the Fort Pickens Museum.

From WUWF Public Media

WUWF Public Media and the Capitol Steps are both turning 35 in 2016, and a birthday celebration performance is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. today, Jan. 15, at the Pensacola Saenger Theatre.

Through comedy and song the troupe has been entertaining fans by parodying politicians since 1981. It all started when some staffers for Sen. Charles Percy were planning entertainment for a Christmas party.

Their first idea was to stage a nativity play. But eventually, they decided to dig into the headlines of the day, and they created song parodies and skits which conveyed a special brand

of satirical humor.

Since that time, the comedic team has recorded more 35 albums, including their latest, “Mock the Vote.” The group has been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS, and can be heard twice a year on National Public Radio stations during the “Politics Takes a Holiday” radio specials. Priding themselves as “equal opportunity offenders,” the members scour the headlines – political and social – for material.

Most cast members have worked on Capitol Hill; some for Democrats, some for Republicans, and others for politicians who firmly straddle the fence.

Although the group is based in Washington, D.C., most of the shows are out-of-town or for out-of-town audiences. The group also has performed for the last five presidents.

No matter who or what is in the headlines, you can bet the Capitol Steps will tackle both sides of the political spectrum and all things equally foolish.

All seats are $40 (plus taxes and applicable fees). WUWF membercard holders receive a 10 percent discount on up to 10 tickets by presenting their current card at the Saenger box office at time of purchase. Tickets also can be purchased through Ticketmaster.

For more information, call 474-2787 or go to wuwf.org.

GOSPORT 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.
