Pensacola Lighthouse marks 160th anniversary

From Naval Air Station Pensacola Public Affairs

Nearly 100 invited guests attended a Jan. 11 ceremony onboard Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola marking the 160th anniversary of one of Northwest Florida’s most well-known landmarks.

The Pensacola Lighthouse and Museum, accessible through NAS Pensacola on Pensacola Bay, was celebrated during the hour-long ceremony, during which Pensacola Lighthouse Association founders Dianne Levi, Richard Callaway and executive director Jon Hill, offered remarks on the 171-foot tower. The celebration marked not only the structure’s 160th anniversary but the end of a four-year multimillion dollar restoration effort.

“None of this would have been possible without the ladies of Impact (100), and the more than 130,000 visitors we have annually,” Jon Hill, the executive director of the Pensacola Lighthouse and Museum said.

“To a person, they all love this lighthouse and have a vested interest in its continued success and accessibility.”

According to Hill, the cur-

rent lighthouse is the second iteration of the structure in Pensacola, the first of which was established in 1824. That lighthouse was deemed “insufficient, too short and light not bright enough,” by sea captains working in the area, Hill said, and Congress appropriated funds for the current lighthouse with construction beginning in 1856 and completed two years later. The lighthouse’s Fresnel lens was lit for the first time Jan. 1, 1859.

Restoration efforts during the four-year refurbishment included repair of 300 feet of linear cracks on the exterior, replacement of 110 of the structure’s 177 stairs, restoration of the ironwork at the top, restoration of the Fresnel lens and complete restoration of all associated buildings. Hill added that the significant community involvement made the facility’s refurbishment possible.

“We are excited to see the end of this large historic restoration effort,” he said. “All work was completed without the benefit of federal dollars. It was completed entirely through earned income, donations and grants from organizations such as Pensacola Bay Area Impact 100, Florida

NASP Religious Ministries celebrates 40th birthday of Religious Programs Specialist rate From Naval Air Station Pensacola Public Affairs

The Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola Religious Ministries Department observed the 40th birthday of the Religious Programs Specialist (RP) rating with a ceremony at the Aviation Memorial Chapel Jan. 14 onboard NAS Pensacola.

The brief ceremony, which featured remarks from former U.S. Army Chaplain’s Assistant and Chaplain retired Lt. Cmdr.

Peter Mclaughlin and NAS Pensacola Chaplain Cmdr. Bryan Crittendon, included a cake-cutting and reflections from chaplains and RPs concerning the rate’s rich heritage.

“The establishment of the RP rating is the best thing that has ever happened to the Chaplain Corps and to the sea services,” retired Capt. Fred Zobel said. “The support and advisement RPs provide have greatly impacted the function and professionalism of the Chaplain Corps.”

The RP rating, a Navy job designed to assist Navy Chaplains in devel-

NASP Notes ...

Lane closures at NAS Pensacola. ... The southbound turn lane that connects Murray Road to Moffett Road in front of the base chapel is scheduled to be closed starting this week, according to NASP Public Works Department (PWD). Drivers will need to go straight on Murray Road to the traffic light and turn right on Moffett Road. Signs will be posted to direct traffic. Afterwards, a single northbound lane of Murray Road will be closed north of Moffett Road. Both closings will be temporary to allow storm water drainage repairs. The Murray Road northbound lane will not be closed until the work impacting the southbound turn lane is complete. Only one lane will be closed at a time. The construction is expected to take about four weeks. For more information, call Josh Klein at 452-3131 ext. 3076 or Jack Severson at 452-3131 ext. 3074.

Restriping work to be done on NASP roadways ... NAVFAC SE has awarded a contract to have six roads onboard NAS Pensacola re-striped over the next several months. All motorists are asked to use caution when approaching the work crews and obey all directions given. Signs will be in place ahead of the work crew to notify drivers that there is road work ahead. Starting this week crews will begin removing old paint lines and installing new lines on Taylor Road from the intersection at Murray Road westbound to the intersection at Radford Drive. The following week (Jan. 21) crews will be restriping Duncan Road from the front gate canopy to the intersection of Taylor Road and also the outbound lanes on Duncan from the intersection at Taylor Road to the overpass bridge by the golf course. For more information contact either Jeff Harrison at 452-3131 ext. 3088 or Lt. Jordan at 452-3131 ext. 3082.

oping programs to meet the needs of Sailors, Marines and their families, has evolved from a concept in the late 1800s of having a chaplain’s assistant assigned to each ship on which a Navy chaplain served. The U.S. Navy rate was officially estab-

lished Jan. 15, 1979.

Pensacola community shares with the U.S. Armed Forces makes the iconic lighthouse part of the history of a base which has trained naval aviators for a century.

“I’m honored that this important part of Gulf Coast history is located so close to NAS Pensacola,” he said. “The Pensacola Lighthouse Association does an incredible job of maintaining this amazing landmark, and I do not doubt the thousands of visitors passing through the base to visit the lighthouse are impressed with what is an important part of this area’s history.”

According to Hill, since the lighthouse was lit in 1859, the structure has survived cannon fire, two lightning strikes and the Great Charleston earthquake of 1886. He also said that in 1965, the lighthouse was automated and is no longer manned by the U.S. Coast Guard. Although still in use, most of the Pensacola Lighthouse’s historic buildings – including the lighthouse keeper’s quarters – were left to decline, and in 1991 were slated for demolition. An effort from Navy Cultural Resource Officer Richard Callaway, however, saved the facility’s structures and helped found an organization to care for and restore the lighthouse.

The Pensacola Lighthouse and Museum, accessible through NAS Pensacola, is a 501(c) non-profit organization. NAS Pensacola, referred to as the “Cradle of Naval Aviation,” is designed to support operational and training missions of tenant commands, including the Naval Aviation Technical Training Center (NATTC), Naval Aviation Schools Command (NASC), the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT), Marine Aviation Training Support Groups (MATSG) 21 and 23 and is the headquarters for Naval Education and Training Command (NETC).

addition to maintaining records and religious educational materials. Service members in the rate can serve at a variety of different types of commands including aboard ships, with Fleet Marine Force (FMF) units, with elements of Navy Special Warfare, Seabees, at naval hospitals and in assignments with chaplains from other branches of the United States Armed Forces.

Additionally, RPs are sometimes required to provide physical security measures for chaplains in contingency areas, as Geneva Convention strictures prohibit chaplains from carrying a firearm.

The NAS Pensacola Religious Ministries Department, staffed by three chaplains and three Religious Programs Specialists, manages the programs and facilities of the NAS Pensacola Command Religious Program.

This includes direct oversight of religious offering funds, rigging of religious services and leading key community relations projects.

According to NAS Pensacola Religious Ministries Department Leading Petty Officer RP1 Robert Porter, one of the most critical roles NAS Pensacola’s Religious Ministries department has is maintaining close ties with Pensacola-area religious groups and charita-

Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla.: A Bicentennial Defense Community Commanding Officer – Capt. Christopher T. Martin

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 biplane 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 one of the

Navy’s most modern fighter aircraft, the F/A18 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.

CAC-less: The future of Navy mobile applications

By Cmdr. Erik Wells Sea Warrior Program (PMW 240) Public Affairs WASHINGTON (NNS) – The Navy released a new mobile application that allows Sailors to access a portion of their Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ) without using a Common Access Card (CAC).

NAVADMIN 008/19 announced the launch of MyNavy Portal MyRecord Mobile (Beta) App Jan. 8, marking a new era for both the Navy and Sailors.

“The Navy is committed to transforming how it delivers human resources services – personnel, pay and training – services to our Sailors,” Vice Adm. Robert Burke, chief of naval personnel, said. “The launch of the MyNavy Portal MyRecord Mobile (beta) App is our first step to providing these services without using a Common Access Card. We are committed to expanding CACless services with the same level of security and convenience Sailors expect from their personal banking services. In time, Sailors will be able to conduct all personnel transactions using their mobile device.”

The initial release has limited functionality by design and will display only a portion of

How to submit a commentary

A new Navy app will allow Sailors to access a portion of their Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ) without using a Common Access Card (CAC). The app is in beta testing.

a Sailor’s ETJ in a read-only mode. This initial release has limited functionality specifically linked to a portion of personnel and training information from the ETJ of the Sailor, in a read-only mode, as the primary function of the release is to evaluate the CAC-less access.

By rolling out the MyRecord App in a beta format, Sailors will be able to provide feedback for the Navy to improve the application and overall Sailor experience. Reviewing a record on the MyRecord Mobile (Beta) App does not replace a Sailor’s responsibility to conduct a full record review for boards. Sailors should still conduct a full record review as they do today to ensure accu-

racy of their entire record.

Sailors should also keep in mind that as a beta release, early testing indicated an occasional error resulting in the misalignment of data fields.

Before submitting records for correction, first verify their status on the MyNavy Portal (MNP) desktop version of MyRecord.

“We find Sailor feedback and suggestions are critical for a successful application,” David Driegert, program manager for the Navy’s Sea Warrior Program (PMW 240), said. “Our Sailors are tech-savvy and when we include them in the process, the end result is always a better application. We want their candid feedback, what they like and dislike

about the app and what future capabilities they desire.”

Going CAC-less is a multistep process and requires Sailors to enable CAC-free setup in MNP. They must also download the MyRecord App and a Navy-approved third-party application, Okta Verify. Okta Verify allows Sailors to create a secure Multi-Factor Authentication account to log-into the MyRecord (Beta) App. Sailors may receive an email regarding the activation of their account, however no action is required.

The entire process should take less than five minutes and can be used on mobile devices with iOS version 10, 11, and 12 or Android version 6, 7, 8 and 9. Step-by-step instructions to go CAC-less are available in NAVADMIN 008/19.

Both mobile apps are available for free in the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and the Navy App Locker.

“Starting with the MyRecord Mobile (Beta) App launch in January, new capabilities and functionality will be released over time,” Burke added. “Sailors can expect continuous updates to the app that will offer more tools right at their fingertips and allow them and their spouse to accomplish things that used to require a trip to a Personnel Support Detach-

ment. Coupled with the Customer Service and responsiveness of MNCC, you can expect continuous improvement in how personnel service are delivered in the coming months.”

Sailors can send their comments to the MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) Contact Center either by selecting the email link on the Beta release in the MyRecord App (askmncc@ navy.mil) or by calling 1 (833) 330-MNCC (6622). Sailors should also contact MNCC if they are experiencing any difficulty with the app.

“This app allows Sailors greater flexibility on when and where they can access their personnel information, allowing them to maintain continued focus on their job and operational environment,” Driegert said.

Navy salutes our defenders on Law Enforcement Appreciation Day From Commander, Navy Installations Command Public Affairs

W

ASHINGTON (NNS) – Wherever you go in the Navy, you see them at the entry control points, in vehicles, patrolling the installation, and on the water protecting our ships and piers – master-at-arms and civilian Navy law enforcement professionals are on watch 24/7 protecting you.

The U.S. Navy joins the rest of America in saluting our law enforcement professionals on National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (L.E.A.D).

Our uniformed master-atarms and civilian law enforcement professionals stand the watch around the clock every day of the year ensuring our Navy assets, Sailors and their families remain safe to ensure our Navy is ready to protect our nation when needed.

“Military and civilian law enforcement personnel are key to CNIC’s critical force protection mission,” Tim Alexander, Director of Operations for Navy Installations Command said. “Our Navy exists to protect America from attack, but it’s our Navy law enforcement professionals who help protect our Navy.”

CNIC employs more than 3,600 civilian federal law enforcement officers, as well

as 6,300 active-duty security personnel, including masterat-arms (who are the Navy’s security and force protection professionals. Additionally, about 5,000 Navy security forces are assigned to the fleet.

With a moto of “Serving those who protect, protecting those who serve,” the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) is comprised of about 2,000 personnel, with more than 1,000 serving as federal special agents. NCIS is unique among U.S. military criminal investigative organizations as it is a civilian-ran agency headed by a civilian law enforcement professional who reports directly to the Secretary of the Navy. NCIS operates in approximately 191 locations, in more than 41 countries.

“Force protection (FP) is the overarching mission for security personnel,” Ron Herb, Force Protection Program Di-

MASN Gaige Hoffman, assigned to Naval Station Everett Security Forces, disarms a terrorist suspect during Exercise Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield. Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield is an anti-terrorism and force protection exercise conducted by Navy installations within the continental United States to ensure that the Navy is ready to respond to changing and dynamic threats at all times.

rector for CNIC said. “Force protection has several subsets to include Law Enforcement, Physical Security, and antiterrorism, all supporting the FP mission.”

Uniformed master-at-arms and civilian law enforcement professionals perform antiterrorism, force protection, physical security, and law enforcement duties on land and at sea. They operate force protection watercraft, direct investigations, control base access and supervise K-9 assets.

Navy law enforcement per-

sonnel conduct waterborne security patrols, protect oil platforms, and provide protection for high-ranking dignitaries and government officials.

They perform security inspections, conduct K-9 explosive and narcotics detection missions, organize and train security personnel, operate brigs and conduct crime prevention programs.

Master-at-arms is one of the oldest ratings in the United States Navy, having been recognized since the founding of the Continental Navy more than 243 years ago. Part of

the MA creed includes these words: “I wear my shield of authority with dignity and restraint.”

Whatever their creed, motto or mission, the Navy’s law enforcement professionals, along with their civilian counterparts all over the nation, are worthy of appreciation today and every day.

SECNAV names future destroyer for Adm. Jeremiah Denton From Secretary of the Navy Public Affairs

WASHINGTON (NNS) – Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer named a future Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer in honor of U.S. Navy Vietnam veteran, Navy Cross recipient, and former U.S. Senator from Alabama, Adm. Jeremiah Denton.

“Admiral Denton’s legacy is an inspiration to all who wear our nation’s uniform,” Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer said. “His heroic actions during a defining period in our history have left an indelible mark on our Navy and Marine Corps team and our nation. His service is a shining example for our Sailors and Marines and this ship will continue his legacy for

decades to come.”

In 1947, Denton graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and served as a test pilot, flight instructor, and squadron leader, and developed operational tactics still in use, such as the Haystack Concept, which calls for the dispersing of carrier fleets to make it more difficult for the enemy to find the fleets on radar.

On July 18, 1965, Denton was shot down over North Vietnam and spent nearly eight years as a POW, almost half in isolation.

During an interview with a Japanese media outlet, Denton used Morse code to blink “torture,” confirming

that American POWs were being tortured. He suffered severe harassment, intimidation and ruthless treatment, yet he refused to provide military information or be used by the enemy for propaganda purposes.

In recognition of his extraordinary heroism while a prisoner-of-war, he was awarded the Navy Cross. Denton was released from captivity in 1973, retired from the Navy in 1977 and in 1980 was elected to the U.S. Senate where he represented Alabama.

Arleigh Burke-class destroyers conduct a variety of operations from

peacetime presence and crisis response to sea control and power projection. The future USS Jeremiah Denton (DDG 129) will be capable of fighting air, surface and subsurface battles simultaneously, and will contain a combination of offensive and defensive weapon systems designed to support maritime warfare, including integrated air and missile defense and vertical launch capabilities.

The ship will be constructed at Huntington Ingalls Industries’ Ingalls shipbuilding division in Pascagoula, Miss..

The ship will be 509 feet long, have a beam length of 59 feet and be capable of operating at speeds in excess of 30 knots.

USS Indianapolis survivors view documentary of ship’s final days

J

ACKSONVILLE, Fla. (NNS) – Survivors of USS Indianapolis (CA 35) met with the crew of the Freedom-class littoral combat ship USS Indianapolis (LCS 17) to screen a documentary, “USS Indianapolis: The Final Chapter,” at Naval Station Mayport, Jan. 7.

The Vulcan’s Productions documentary shares the discovery of the once-lost, Portland-class heavy cruiser Indianapolis, or “Indy,” by Research Vessel Petrel, owned by the late Microsoft co-founder Paul G. Allen.

“This film is important for tying the crew to the Indianapolis because it gives them a sense of history,” Cmdr. Colin Kane,

commanding officer of Indianapolis (LCS 17), said. “I really hope that it drives this home because it will bring to the forefront the sacrifices that these Sailors made back in World War II.” Before viewing the documentary, survivors of the Indianapolis shared their experiences surrounding the events of the attack, in 1945.

“He was all messed up,” Harold Bray, a veteran and survivor said while recounting his efforts to help a fellow crew member during the attack. “His lips all blistered, he was floating around. I grabbed him and pulled him in. I tried to tie him to the raft, but I guess I didn’t get a good knot on him. He just disappeared.”

Marines and Sailors were adrift at sea for nearly five days without food or potable water.

Many were injured, covered in thick oil from the damaged ship, or taken by sharks.

“I never thought about dying out there,” Bray said. “I was 18 years old. Who dies at 18?”

The documentary chronicled Indianapolis’ victories, mission, attack and the life of a few of her crew members after the war.

“This shows their fate and that they had not been forgotten,” CS1 Cesar A. Torres, assigned to Indianapolis (LCS 17), said.

“It inspires me to be a better Sailor.”

There was a Facebook Live Q&A session following the screening, with film director Kirk Wolfinger, retired Navy Capt. Bill Toti, RV Petrel expedition leader Robert Kraft and retired Adm. Sam Cox, director of the Naval History and Heritage Command.

“In 18 years of service I’ve never been assigned to a ship with this kind of connection,” said Torres. “It keeps me in tune with the casualties who kept up their efforts until their last breath.”

Indianapolis was tasked with delivering parts for the atomic bomb “Little Boy” set to drop on Hiroshima. The mission was so secret, crew members did not know what they were guarding.

“This brings us back to the importance of our mission,” Kane

said. “If they didn’t complete their mission, World War II could’ve ended differently.”

The wreckage, which had been missing for 72 years, was discovered 18,000 feet under the Philippine Sea. Indianapolis is the Navy’s worst loss of life at sea with 880 of its 1,196 crew members perishing after the initial torpedo attack and during the time Marines and Sailors spent floating in the ocean waiting to be rescued.

“It’s much easier to die, believe me, than it is to live,” Edgar Harrell said. “You’ve got to fight to live. But all you’ve got to do to expire is just give up.

NAS Whiting Field: 2018 in review

By Jamie Link NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs Office

L

ooking back at 2018, Naval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) continued support for the naval training aviation mission, cultivating the best warfighters supporting the largest training air wing in the Navy, Training Air Wing Five (TraWing-5). As we look back over the year, the base continues to enable the fighter, support our family members through Navy programs and sustain the fleet.

NASWF reached an important milestone anniversary, commemorating 75 years of military excellence in naval aviation training including celebrating with a base picnic this past summer supported by our neighbors, friends, business professionals and leaders of Santa Rosa County via the Santa Rosa County Chamber of Commerce.

The installation received recognition and awards from environmental achievements, services and personnel retention accomplishments: NAS Whiting Field awards for the year included 2018 Secretary of Navy (SECNAV) Energy Award for Excellence in Energy Conservation, Navy Small Shore Category, CNO Environmental Award (Environmental Quality, Non-industrial Installation), SECNAV Energy and Water Management gold level of achievement, Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt Award Winner for Excellence in Lodging Management, Navy Community

Service Flagship Award for 2018 Medium Shore Category an honorable mention. Another important accomplishment was being named with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Public Water System Plant Excellence Award winner for small community category, recognizing the Public Works Utilities for its outstanding inspections results, quality control, training program and water conservation efforts. NAS Whiting Field has won this award for six consecutive years.

NASWF personnel who also earned recognitions while representing the installation are: NCIC FY17 Vice Admiral Robert B. Pirie Naval Air Traffic Controller of the year is PO1 Justin Kersch, CNIC Retention Excellence Award FY17 Command Career Counselor, CPO Thurman Winkler and Navy Meritorious Civilian Service Award to NAS Whiting Field Community Plans Liaison Officer Randy Roy.

Ashley Koenig Base mission support continued throughout the year for Joint Strike Fighter Squadron VFA-101 at Navy Outlying Landing Field Choctaw operations performing Field Carrier Landing Practices.

The NASWF Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) program opened the Navy General Library Program in a grand opening ceremony in the building with the Tower Café, now to be combined as the Tower Books and Café. The MWR program hosted numerous events throughout the year to include America Kids Fun run, Pensacola Blue Wahoos baseball kids camp and events supporting the personnel and their families.

Mayor Peter Wolff, Evergreen Ala. and Mayor Yank Lovelace, Brewton Ala. participated in a distinguished visitor embark aboard the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) this year.

This provided them an opportunity to witness first hand Sailors performing carrier air-

craft operations at sea. This Navy outreach program serves as a catalyst for collaborative partnerships with communities across Florida and Alabama.

The installation continued to increase the buffering acreage around the installation through restrictive easements and encroachment efforts safeguarding 1,011 acres and expending $4.03 million in total funding with $2.6 million being expended in readiness and environmental protection integration (REPI)/Navy funds.

Our ability to collaborate with stakeholders to gain this winwin continues to serve to protect the critical flight training mission into the future.

In the fall of 2018, NAS Whiting Field personnel were both deployed and volunteered in response to Hurricane Michael to assist with clean-up efforts and to support victims who experienced loss and damage.

One of the final plans between the Navy, NAS Whit-

ing Field, Santa Rosa County and Escambia County came to fruition with the finalization of a first-in-the-Navy initiative land swap where the Navy gained an outlying field closer to the base. This plan culminated more than 10 years of coordination.

On the TraWing-5 side, the air wing continues to pin Wings of Gold on new rotary aviators, and as of December, totaled more than 34, 600 aviators.

NAS Whiting Field has had a successful year supporting the training mission and taking care of Navy personnel and their families.

“I am very proud of what we have accomplished as a team here at Whiting Field this past year,” NASWF Commanding Officer Capt. Paul Bowdich said. “The hard work and dedication of our personnel is apparent from the numerous awards and accomplishments we have received. It’s been a great year.”

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

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

Martin Luther King Jr.

Civil rights giant fought for principles with universal applicability

By Michael Jay Friedman iipdigital.usembassy.gov

A

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 2019, it falls on Jan. 21.

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.”

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 public 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). This was an alliance of black ministers and churches or-

ganized 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 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 high-pressure fire hoses against peaceful 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 AfricanAmerican 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.

NETPDC announces 2018 Civilian of the Year

By Ens. Lillian Pitkin Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center Public Affairs

T

he Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) announced recently the selection of Education Services Specialist Catalina Delgado as Civilian of the Quarter (CoQ) for the fourth quarter, and also Civilian of the Year (CoY) for 2018.

Delgado was recognized for her innovative thinking and problemsolving. In the fourth quarter, Delgado was able to create a unique training plan for the Voluntary Education (VOLED) virtual support center, which included travel to Italy and Bahrain to provide training to standardize division practices.

According to her nomination, Delgado spearheaded efforts to provide Sailors with virtual face-to-face communication using Skype for Business. Delgado trained her fellow education counselors on the new capability, enabling more than 100 Skype for Business counseling sessions with Sailors across the Fleet.

Delgado was also recognized by her supervisor Chris Cruz, Navy VOLED Virtual Education Capabilities Director, for incredible leader-

ship during hurricane Florence.

“Despite being shut down for twoand-a-half days due to the hurricane, Catalina’s leadership and training efforts enabled the Navy College Virtual Education Center to maintain exceptional service and availability to Sailors through Live Help Now chats, e-tickets, and Skype for Business counseling,” Cruz said.

“Catalina’s ability to lead through a crisis makes her an exceptionally valuable asset and team member.”

When asked about her double selection as CoQ and CoY, Delgado noted that she is just part of an outstanding team.

“I feel humbled because there are so many talented people here at the command; I know that it must have been a tough choice,” she said. “I love the job I do and to be recognized

for it is just a cherry on top.”

During a visit to the Navy College Virtual Education Center Dec. 4, NETPDC Commanding Officer, Capt. Kertreck Brooks present Delgado with her awards.

“I am motivated every day by the outstanding example set by the incredible team that is Navy VOLED,” Brooks said. “It is members like Catalina Delgado who offer creative solutions that help NETPDC achieve its mission despite of obstacles like natural disasters. Their efforts have a direct impact on improving the personal and professional lives of

Sailor’s across the fleet.”

NETPDC’s mission is to provide products and services that enable and enhance education, training, career development, and personnel advancement throughout the Navy.

Primary elements of the command include the Navy Advancement Center, the Voluntary Education Department, and the Resources Management Department.

charges for OCONUS) • The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program: Provides prevention, intervention and a 24/7/365 response to nonintimate partner adult vic-

tims of sexual assault.

Active-duty and adult family member sexual assault victims have a choice of reporting options, unrestricted and restricted.

Unrestricted reporting al-

lows victims 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-of-command, 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 duty SARC, call the SARC cell at 554-5606.
