NIWDC, CIWT leaders ensure readiness, lethality through IW training Story, photo

by Glenn Sircy Center for Information Warfare Training

Rear Adm. Jeff Scheidt, commander of Naval Information Warfighting Development Center (NIWDC), visited the Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT) and Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) Corry Station to review information warfare (IW) training initiatives and discuss current and future training for the Navy’s rapidly changing IW missions, capabilities and roles, Jan. 17.

This was Scheidt’s first visit to CIWT since taking the helm of NIWDC in August 2018. Scheidt’s visit also offered an opportunity to update him on the latest force development approaches for building a talented fleet through initiatives, such as Ready, Relevant Learning, that take recruits from “street to fleet” and transform civilians into highly skilled, operational and combat-ready warfighters.

Established in early 2017, NIWDC is one of 88 commands under Naval Information Forces (NAVIFOR). Similar to other warfighting development centers, NIWDC’s mission includes training and assessing information warfare forces in advanced tactics, techniques and procedures at the individual, unit, integrated or advanced, and joint levels, ensuring alignment with the information warfare training continuum.

Scheidt began the visit with CIWT Commanding Officer Capt. Nick Andrews, where Andrews discussed the scale of training CIWT offers from rating-specific enlisted apprentice to cyber warfare to officer development courses.

“Rear Adm. Scheidt’s visit was a great opportunity to accelerate top-level discussions on how we continue to transform the development and delivery of the right training at the right time in the right way for our information warriors,” Andrews said. “The CIWT team is committed to help modernize the IW community’s career-long learning continuum,

while directly supporting the fleet’s high-end warfighting capabilities and readiness.”

Scheidt then led an IW training roundtable discussion with

various CIWT and IWTC Corry Station leaders and subject matter experts. Topics ranged from revolutionizing IW training to reinforcing accountability

and professionalism to measuring competence in a more direct way.

Blue Angels reach training milestone ahead of 2019 season

By MCC Chad V. Pritt Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron Public Affairs

EL CENTRO, Calif. (NNS) – U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, reached a major milestone in their annual winter training, Jan. 19, when they completed their first set of training flights over the airfield at Naval Air Facility (NAF) El Centro, Calif.

The six jet demonstration pilots had been training over the Special Use Airspace adjacent to NAF El

Centro, and will continue to do the bulk of their training there for the next few weeks, before moving full time to the air space above NAF El Centro.

This is the first time in 2019 the Blue Angels held a full practice over the airfield, a critical step in preparing for the 2019 air show season.

“Until today, we’ve mainly trained over the Gulf

CIWT hosts CTI workshop for occupational standards Story, photo

by Glenn Sircy Center for Information Warfare Training

Twenty-five subject matter experts (SMEs) from the cryptologic technician (interpretive) (CTI) community and the Navy Manpower Analysis Center (NAVMAC) met for an occupational standards (OCCSTDS) review workshop for the CTI rating at the Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT) onboard NAS Pensacola Corry Station Jan. 14 to 17.

NAVMAC is tasked by the chief of

naval personnel with the development, review and maintenance of accurate enlisted OCCSTDS. However, since CIWT is home to many senior CTIs, CIWT hosted the workshop.

“This was the largest, most diverse and knowledgeable CTI working group we’ve ever assembled,” CTICM Andrew Leshnov, attached to CIWT’s training directorate said. “Due to the expanding nature of the CTI rating’s missions, we are working together to better prepare our CTI Sailors in warfighting See CTI on page 2

of Mexico and (Special Use Airspace) Shade Tree,” Capt. Eric Doyle, flight leader and commanding officer of the Blue Angels said. “I couldn’t be happier with how we’re progressing in our training, and that’s a testament to not only the pilots, but the unwavering dedication and hard work of our maintenance and support team. Without them, we wouldn’t have safe and reliable aircraft to fly.”

This is just one of many steps for the squadron on its See Blues on page 2

NEX Customers support Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society

By Kristine M. Sturkie Navy Exchange Service Command Public Affairs

Virginia Beach, VA (NNS) – On Jan. 22, retired Rear Adm. Robert J. Bianchi, Chief Executive Officer, Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) presented a check for $147,115 to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) representing money donated

by NEX customers during a promotion held in fall 2018.

“Since 2011, NEXCOM has given customers the opportunity to purchase a $5 benefit ticket at NEX stores, and

those funds are then donated directly to NMCRS,” Bianchi said. “This campaign is very popular with our customers, so in 2018 we were excited to give them two chances, in the spring and fall, to support the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society. We’re proud to provide our customers multiple opportunities throughout the year to give back and support fellow service members and families who rely on NCMRS.”

Navy to begin drinking water testing From NASP Public Affairs

The Navy will begin testing private drinking water wells the end of this month in and around Saufley Field as part of our commitment to ensuring our neighbors have safe and clean drinking water.

This is part of the Navy’s ongoing testing of drinking water, conducted at no cost to the well owners, that is currently taking place at and near Navy installations across the nation.

A public open house is scheduled for residents residing near Saufley Field Jan. 30 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the St. Anne Catholic Church (5200 Saufley Field Road, Pensacola, Fl., 32526), to discuss the Navy’s drinking water investigation.

The event will include informational displays specific to each location and will have representatives present from the Navy, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Florida Department of Health and other representatives. The media are invited to attend the Jan. 30 event at St. Anne Catholic Church at 3 p.m. for on-camera interviews.

Navy officials have informed members of the staff at the Florida congressional offices on Capitol Hill regarding the Navy’s current plan to test private drinking water wells in designated areas near Saufley Field for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Additionally, we are conducting door-todoor notification of potentially impacted residences. Navy leadership has also informed local officials in Pensacola and Escambia County.

PFAS are man-made chemicals persistent in the environment that are not

absorbed well in soil and could migrate to groundwater. PFAS have been used for many years to make products that resist heat, stains, grease and water, and have been used in a variety of products and substances, such as non-stick pans; water resistant textiles and sprays with water resistant properties.

The most common historical Navy use of these chemicals has been as firefighting foam used on Navy installations.

In May 2016, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued lifetime health advisory levels for two PFAS, specifically perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), at 70 parts per trillion, individually and combined if both are present.

While there are no EPA regulations for these compounds, the EPA established these lifetime health advisory levels to offer a margin of protection for all Americans throughout their life from potential adverse health effects resulting from exposure to PFOA and PFOS in drinking water.

In June 2016, the Navy issued a policy to identify areas of potential release of these materials to the environment.

As part of this policy, the Navy is testing for PFOS and PFOA in and around Saufley Field.

The Navy will provide alternate drinking water (typically bottled water) for residents if their drinking water concentrations exceed the EPA lifetime health advisory levels for PFOA and/or PFOS. The Navy is committed to sharing additional information as it becomes available throughout the testing process.

NIWDC from page 1 “It’s imperative that we improve our skill development model. As advanced capabilities are developed, our crews need instruction and practice venues that can accelerate readiness generation to the levels needed for great power competition. Getting more from our capability investment means ensuring our operators are well prepared – in skills and mindset,” Scheidt said. “Collaboration between CIWT, Information Warfare Training Group, NIWDC and NAVIFOR N7 is the best way to ensure a coherent IW training continuum delivering the greatest combat power.”

Other events throughout the day included lab tours and virtual training environment discussions about the Ship’s Signal Exploitation Equipment Increment F and AN/SLQ32(V)6 electronic warfare systems; lunch with enlisted students at the base galley; an overview of the Cryptologic Warfare Officer Basic (CWOBC) and Cryptologic Resource Coordinator (CRC) courses; a meeting and discussion with CWOBC students; a meeting and discussion with CRC and Afloat Cryptologic Manager course students, and meeting and discussion with IWTC Corry Station signals intelligence personnel.

During the visit with the CWOBC students, Scheidt challenged the junior officers to become the best officers and leaders within their commands.

“We must be creative, innovative and fully prepared to fight and win in this ‘great power competition’ era,” Scheidt said. “We are equipping you with the skills to create warfighting options for fleet commanders, and we must always be accountable for our readiness. Our business is about defeating adversary decision-making while maximizing naval lethality.”

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.

Gosport is an authorized newspaper published every Friday by Ballinger Publishing, 314 North Spring St., Suite A, Pensacola, Fla. 32501, in the interest of military and ci-

“This generous donation from Navy Exchange shoppers around the globe will go directly to Sailors, Marines and their families,” retired Adm. Steve Abbot, President and CEO, NMCRS said. “There are so many experiencing personal financial hardships like needing funds to travel to the bedside of an ailing family member or buy a tank of gas to evacuate their family to safety when a Category 4 hurricane is approaching. The Navy-

Marine Corps Relief Society is honored to use this gift to serve Shipmates and fellow Marines in need.”

In return for a $5 donation to NavyMarine Corps Relief Society, customers receive a card that entitled them to specific discounts for a one-time purchase at the NEX. Since its inception, NEX patrons have donated nearly $2 million to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society.

CTI from page 1 readiness skills for the Navy the nation needs.”

The CTI review consisted of a panel of enlisted E-5 through E-9, and most are the SMEs from each of the major CTI-centric commands.

“This workshop offered me a valuable chance to work alongside and be mentored by some of the Navy’s most senior CTIs,” CTI1 Noah Hibbler, attached to Navy Information Operations Command Georgia said. “I greatly appreciate this opportunity to help shape and improve our rating.”

“I am humbled to be on this team that worked together to transform and advance our rating for many years to come,” CTI1 Constance Miller, attached to Navy Information Operations Command Georgia said. “I’ve learned a tremendous amount during this experience and it will help me be a better technician and leader.”

According to the Naval Personnel Command’s website, “standards are defined as those minimum capabilities which the Navy expects and requires of individuals with each rating.”

The OCCSTDS are statements that describe the Navy’s minimum requirement/skills of a Navy enlisted rating as established by the rating’s primary resource/warfare sponsor. The OCCSTDS also establish the basis for all Navy professional development and training tools, such as rate training manuals, personnel qualification standards, course curricula and advancement exams. Because of this, updating and maintaining OCCSTDs are critical to ensuring that they accurately reflect what jobs Sailors in specific ratings are performing in the fleet.

During the biennial review workshop, the SMEs broke down core tasks, job descriptions, skills and abilities of CTIs to set the minimum required standards for each paygrade.

“The review process is an opportunity to bring together the best and bright-

vilian personnel and their families aboard the Naval Air Station Pensacola, Saufley Field and Corry Station.

Why we love airport meltdowns

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist

L

ast week, TV networks aired a viral video of an airline customer melting down. These videos surface every few months – a woman’s tirade over a $20 baggage fee in Memphis, an irate doctor’s dramatic arrest in Orlando, a Spirit passenger ranting in the isle after her plane was diverted and a mother losing her cool after her family’s flight to catch a Disney cruise was delayed 12 hours. Last week’s viral video featured a woman body-slamming the gate kiosk after her JetBlue flight was cancelled, screaming, “Get me out of this f----- up place, you rapist!”

Lovely.

Why do we have a sick fascination with watching seemingly normal citizens lose control? I figure, we must secretly enjoy seeing irate customers berating airline employees for the delays, cancellations and exorbitant costs we’ve all experienced. Hasn’t everyone on the planet been frustrated with air travel?

Her syndicated column appears in military and civilian newspapers, including Stars and Stripes, and on her blog, www.themeat a nd p ot a t o e s of l i fe.c o m . grand scheme of things. But distance traveled is not equally proportional to the level of inconvenience experienced at the airport facility. In other words, no matter where I fly, I know it will be a goat rope.

It started at the TSA lines, where I stared clumsily at the same twenty people every time we zig-zagged past each other toward security screening. Thir-

ty minutes later, I’d formed a silent kinship with them. In the microcosm of airport society, they were my friends. At the end of the line, I bid them adieu and nervously moved to the next, intimidating step: TSA check-in.

The seemingly soulless TSA agent looked from my documentation to my face to my ID, making me feel like a fugitive wanted for heinous crimes. I feared that TSA German Shepherds might sense my natural guilt complex and attack, but somehow, I passed and was directed to the security screening conveyor belts.

Nothing says humility like a TSA security screening line.

Everyone tried to act nonchalant as we fumbled for grey plastic bins. We wanted to appear to be a savvy travelers, but all were uneasy with the indignity of the process. I scrambled to remember the complicated rules: Do I remove my jacket in addition to my shoes and belt? If my laptop has to be in a bin by itself, does my phone get its own bin too?

Will that packet of ketchup in my purse be flagged as liquid?

Will the screener think my hairdryer is a gun?

I stood, legs spread and arms over my head, in the futuristic metal detector as an exhaled puff blew my hair into the air.

The lady behind me was selected for a random pat-down. I tried not to gawk. We retrieved our bins, and as my comrades and I put our shoes and belts back on, I felt like we’d had an awkward one-night stand.

I stopped to get a cup of coffee on my way to my gate, but the Dunkin’ Donuts line was longer than the one at TSA. Turns out, I had plenty of time. My flight was delayed two hours due to a flight attendant calling in sick at the last minute.

The large latte soon hit my bladder and I went in search of restrooms. Heeding the prohibition against leaving bags unattended, I muscled my wheeled carryon into the stall, only to realize that I’d dipped the sleeve of my jacket into the toilet in the process.

Thanks to a calming eighties mix emanating from invisible speakers in the terminal, broadcasting obscure oldies like “I Wanna Be A Cowboy” and “Sidewalk Talk,” I made it to Pittsburgh that day without losing my cool. However, long hours of confusion, inconvenience, boredom and frustration will inevitably bring even the sanest of us to the brink.

So expect air travel to be a hassle, and always keep your camera charged.

Navy technology commands improve their information warfare readiness

By Rita Boland Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence Public Affairs

I

n early January, a consortium of operational and supporting commands officially approved and moved into a bigger effort the final draft of the Information Warfare Readiness Improvement Plan (IWRIP) that Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (PEO C4I) released recently.

Implementation of the plan in 2019 will change the way fleet uses C4I capabilities, better positioning Sailors to compete, deter and win.

“Readiness is one of the biggest concerns across the Navy, and the Information Warfare community is no different,” Rear Adm. Carl “Chebs” Chebi, program executive officer, PEO C4I said. “It’s not good enough to be reactive to systems’ problems on ships or other platforms. We have to be smart and clever about being proactive.

What we’re driving toward is an environment with better technology that lets Sailors employ, maneuver and manage their C4I capabilities with less onboard assistance from the SYSCOM (systems command). That’s what the IWRIP and some related initiatives get after.”

By reducing or even eliminating the need for onboard C4I troubleshooting assistance from outside sources, fleet units will experience less degradation of services and more advantages in adversarial environments. In terms of the IWRIP, “employ” denotes the use of systems in normal operations; “maneuver” is their use in contested operations; and “manage” applies at all times. Ideally, none would require actions beyond the capability of the ship’s force or outside the scope of the Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual.

The IWRIP supports the Information Warfare Enterprise(IWE) sponsored Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems and Intelligence (C5I) Wholeness Campaign Plan. That plan is U.S. Naval Information Forces (NAVIFOR) Command’s macro-level guide to achieving enhanced C5I readiness. Ele-

ments of the IWRIP are now incorporated in the C5I Wholeness Campaign Plan in order to assure alignment and synchronization across the IWE. In mid-December, representatives from commands such as PEO C4I, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), Pacific Fleet and NAVIFOR participated in a working group in San Diego to finalize development of the IWRIP. “We did some preliminary homework, then invited stakeholder representatives to roll up their sleeves and join us for two days of brainstorming,” Dr. William Luebke, director, Logistics and Fleet Support, SPAWAR said.

The IWRIP incorporates four main lines of effort (LOEs): design, materiel, documentation and personnel. Team members will tailor capabilities to Sailors, validate materiel to support requirements, provide usable and effective documentation, and finally ensure procedures and personnel to properly man, train and qualify/certify across the Optimized Fleet Readiness Plan (OFRP).

Under the Design LOE, personnel will address some of the more complex C5I systems, which can be cumbersome to self-sustain. Depending on circumstances, support for these systems ranges from finding ways to make contact with support personnel in other locations to extreme conditions requiring personnel to fly out to ships or other locations to troubleshoot problems. Need for such help comes from causes such as variance of equipment across like platforms, complexity of the systems and obsolescence of parts in the systems/orphans.

“Orphan systems,” in general,

Manpower, Personnel, Training and Education (MPT&E) Fleet Master Chief Wes Koshoffer shares advice with Sailors attending Information Systems Technician “A” school during a familiarization brief and tour of the Center for Information Warfare Training and Information Warfare Training Command Corry Station onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola Corry Station last week. Koshoffer’s Pensacola-area visit was an opportunity to update him on the latest force development approaches for building a talented fleet through initiatives, such as Ready, Relevant Learning, that take recruits from “street to fleet” and transform civilians into highly skilled, operational, and combat ready warfighters. Photo by Glenn Sircy are systems without adequate support and sustainment.

Within the year, the IWRIP team members will attempt to eliminate C4I orphans. They also aim to reduce the complexity of C4I systems to simplify operations and to reduce maintenance and repair requirements, in part through increased automation. Finally, they will lower the total number of C4I baselines in the fleet and strive to deliver a common baseline across all ships in a strike group by 2020.

In terms of design, system developers will never get to a state without variability among platforms because Sailors customize tools to meet changing mission needs. PEO C4I is moving toward a DevOps environment that will be more like a smartphone with the variations more like apps added onto a baseline (the operating system) that comes from the N2/N6 level.

The Materiel LOE addresses a straightforward issue: necessary material resources onboard ships or in the Navy stock system to consistently maintain optimum operational readiness.

One key action item under this LOE involves deeper analysis by the PEO C4I system owners and by members of SPAWAR’s Fleet Readiness Directorate.

That work aims to introduce tools such as predictive analysis to reduce downtime waiting for

parts not already onboard ships.

Additionally, coordination will continue with Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support to increase range and depth of materiel support for Information Warfare capabilities as well as to improve service levels and process control to deliver a higher yield of material support within available resources.

The Documentation LOE will develop complete, capabilityfocused documents and procedures and ensure alignment to fleet training, certification and employment objectives. The efforts will address the clearly defined and documented C4I baselines. They also will tackle current C4I system documentation to address holistic C4I capability employment, ensuring is written to an understandable level, is in a usable format for the fleet user or is aligned toward Sailor/crew certification requirements. In addition to instituting and implementing instructions, new documents and procedures, project personnel will develop “Millennial-friendly” C4I baseline documents and drawings to support the goal for common baselines for strike groups by 2020.

Finally, the Personnel LOE drives right to the heart of the problem IWRIP wants to address. Fleet personnel face challenges self-sufficiently employ-

ing, maneuvering and managing C4I capability missions. Type commands, training commands and acquisition commands will work together and with operational stakeholders to address causal factors. Their results will couple with PEO C4I’s responsibility to design more userfriendly systems.

“What we’re trying to do is increase Information Warfare readiness throughout the acquisition lifecycle from maintenance through sustainment,” Sean Zion, the assistant program executive officer for logistics at PEO C4I said. “No matter what technology we have, the people component remains the most important part. Our partners and we are making big changes in training and assignments to ensure the operational fleet can deliver warfighting capability.”

Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (PEO C4I) provides integrated communication and information technology systems that enable information warfare and command and control of maritime forces.

PEO C4I acquires, fields and supports C4I systems which extend across Navy, joint and coalition platforms. More information can be found at www.public.navy.mil/spawar/ PEOC4I/Pages/default.aspx.

The live stream broadcasts of the graduations are from Kay Hall at OTC on Naval Station Newport, R.I., through the Defense Visual Distribution Service (DVIDS) website (https:// www.dvidshub.net/unit/NSTC).

The first live streamed broadcast was Dec 14. The last livestreamed OCS graduation was Jan. 18.

“Unfortunately, not all of the family members and friends that want to attend the graduation ceremonies for any of our five programs (OCS, Officer Development School, LDO/CWO Academy, Direct Commission Officer Indoctrination Course, and Naval Science Institute) can afford the time or funds to make the trip to Newport,” Capt.

Mark Nicholson, commanding officer of OTC, said. “Live stream gives them an opportunity to participate in the excitement of what is a big milestone for these junior officers as they begin their careers in the Navy.”

Nicholson said he and his OTC staff were excited to have this capability up and running. “We were finally able to take advantage of technology and share the excitement and energy of commissioning these young men and women with our Navy family and the American public.”

“The young men and women under-

going training here at Officer Training Command Newport (OTCN) have made a commitment to serving in our Navy,” he said.

“Furthermore, our OTCN staff put in a lot of long hours and hard work into transforming these young men and women into the next generation of Navy leaders. Our Navy family is composed of not only our service members and civilians, but their families and friends as well. The live stream connects our graduates and staff with our Navy family and the American public, sharing the results of their commitment and sacrifice and inspiring others to do the same.”

Response to the live streaming of the OCS graduation has been greatly received by the officer candidates.

“They are extremely thrilled to be able to share their graduation experience with their families and friends that were not able to travel to Newport,” Nicholson said.

The Navy’s only boot camp, Recruit Training Command (RTC), on Naval Station Great Lakes, Ill. RTC has been

livestreaming their weekly Pass-InReview graduations since September 2013.

OTC is supported by Naval Service Training Command (NSTC), headquartered on Naval Station Great Lakes, Ill. NSTC manages all initial Navy officer and enlisted accessions training except for the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA).

OCS is one of five officer training schools located aboard Naval Station Newport, R.I. There is also the Officer Development School (ODS), Direct Commission Officer Indoctrination Course (DCOIC), Limited Duty Officer and Chief Warrant Officer (LDO/ CWO) Academy and Seaman-to-Admiral (STA-21) program. The staff officers, Recruit Division Commanders and Drill Instructors also provide training assistance for these schools, especially with the physical training of the students.

Navy OCS was established in 1951.

The Navy previously operated two officer candidate programs, OCS in Newport and Aviation Officer Candidate School (AOCS) at Naval Air Station

6

(NAS) Pensacola, Fla. AOCS trained prospective naval aviators, naval flight officers, aviation maintenance duty officers, and air intelligence officers, while OCS trained all other officer communities.

The original Navy OCS in Newport was closed in April 1994 when the programs were merged as a single OCS aboard NAS Pensacola. Subsequently, in 2007 the consolidated Navy OCS curriculum was relocated back to Newport by direction of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission of 2005.

For more information on OTC and OCS, visit www.ocs.navy.mil.

NSTC supports 98 percent of initial officer and enlisted accessions training for the Navy. This includes Recruit Training Command (RTC) at Naval Station Great Lakes, Ill., made up of more than 870 RDCs and instructors who oversee and train more than 39,000 recruits annually. OTC annually graduates more than 2,900 students per year under the instructing guidance of 39 RDCs, Marine Corps drill instructors and technical trainers. NSTC also supports Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) units at more than 160 colleges and universities across the United States, with more than 5,900 midshipmen enrolled annually who are taught, guided and molded by more than 500 Navy and Marine Corps officer and enlisted instructors. NSTC also supports Navy Junior ROTC and Navy National Defense Cadet Corps (NNDCC) citizenship development programs at more than 600 high schools worldwide.

NASWF Command Master Chief retires after 30 years of service

By Jamie Link NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs Office

N

aval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) Command Master Chief (CMDCM) Lee Stephens retired after 30 years of service to the U.S. Navy in a Jan. 18 ceremony onboard the installation among family, friends and shipmates.Stephens served as the command master chief beginning April 2016, culminating 30 years of naval service.

The ceremony was full of Navy tradition and included the reading of “Old Glory” and flag pass, shadowbox presentation, reading of the chief petty officer retirement creed, “the Navy Wife” and “The Watch.” Guests included many former shipmates who traveled from far and wide to take part in honoring Stephens’ Naval career.

Cmdr. Gil Clark, Command-

ing Officer of Afloat Training Group, Western Pacific, was the guest speaker for the ceremony. Clark spoke about serving with Stephens aboard USS The Sullivans (DDG 68) and wished him the best as he moves forward following his retirement.

“For 30 years Lee, you stood the watch with honor, courage and commitment,” Clark said. “Now we will relieve

him. This truly is the American dream, a retired master chief, a teacher and two beautiful kids that are starting to walk down their own paths.

“It has honestly been one of the most cherished professional relationships that I have had working with Lee, even better I made a life-long friend,” Clark continued.

vice in 1989 after completing basic training in Great Lakes, Ill. He then attended Operations Specialist “A” School at Fleet Combat Training Center Atlantic Virginia Beach, Va. His assignments and deployments include the USS Macdonough (DDG 39), USS Reasoner (FF 1063), Fleet Area and Surveillance Facility Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, USS Nimitz (CVN

68), USS Antietam (CG 54), USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67), Fleet Area and Surveillance Facility, Jacksonville, Fla., Joint Special Operations Center, Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, USS Vicksburg (CG 69), Naval Air Station Pensacola, USS The Sullivans (DDG 68) and NAS Whiting Field.

Stephens thanked his family and showed appreciation for their support before presenting his wife April and daughter Hannah with flowers. After the passing of the flag ceremony, he presented his son Logan with the American flag.

“I am honored to be a part of the legacy of serving our country, and I am proud to have served alongside every man and woman who volunteered to continue to preserve the liberties and freedoms that our veterans fought so hard to establish and defend,” Stephens said.

January is National Blood Donor Month

Use the gift of life this winter: Give blood From www.redcross.org

T

he American Red Cross has issued an emergency call for blood and platelet donors to give now and help mitigate a blood shortage. With holiday scheduling keeping donors busy, the Red Cross collected about 27,000 fewer blood and platelet donations during the weeks of Christmas and New Year’s than needed.

Right now, the Red Cross is urging people across the country, especially type O, to schedule an appointment to give. Eligible individuals can make a donation appointment by simply downloading the free American Red Cross Blood Donor App (https:// www.redcrossblood.org/ blood-donor-app.html), visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767).

January is National Blood Donor Month, a time to celebrate generous volunteer donors and raise awareness for the need for blood donations. It is also a month often plagued by snowstorms and seasonal illness that result in low donor turnout at blood drives and force many to delay giving, and this year is no different. This past weekend, blood drives were canceled in several states from the Midwest to the East Coast due to Winter Storm Gia, contributing to already low inventory levels. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports widespread influenza across nearly half the country and cases of the flu occurring in nearly all 50 states.

“During the winter months, snow storms, icy road conditions and seasonal illness like the flu often cause blood donors to delay their donations,” Chris Hrouda, president, Red

Cross Blood Services said.

“This further exasperates our already depleted blood supply from over the holidays. We are working every day to restock hospitals shelves with lifesaving blood products for patients and right now, we need all healthy, eligible individuals to give blood and platelets as soon as possible to ensure we can meet patient needs.”

The Red Cross encourages eligible individuals to review tips for blood donation during flu season.

Resolve to help patients like Luna all year long: At the young age of one and half years-old, Luna Giles is already a princess warrior. In her first year of life, she had two heart surgeries that required over a dozen blood transfusions. Luna will likely need more blood products for an additional surgery in her future.

“Each time, the nurse would bring in a bag of blood for her transfusion, I noticed a small label on each one that said, ‘Donation Type: Volunteer,’” Jessie Giles, Luna’s mother said. “It made me think about each individual who donated blood for my daughter. I would never know who those individuals were, and they would never see the effect their donation had. But each of those individuals, strangers to us, absolutely saved my daughter’s life.

They may never know it, but to

me, they are heroes.”

To pay it forward, the Giles family holds blood drives in the community in honor of Luna and other patients.

“Luna’s story is a reminder of the constant need for blood,” Jessie Giles said. “People would ask me how they could help and I would tell them to go give blood.”

Luna is not alone in her need for lifesaving blood products.

Patients rely on blood and platelets every day for accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease. Blood products are perishable, and the only source of lifesaving blood for patients is volunteer blood donors.

Prepare for your blood donation appointment: A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in.

Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least

110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/ RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App. Donors can help even more people by inviting a family member, friend or co-worker to donate too.

Host a blood drive in the community: During the weeks of Christmas and New Year’s, about 1,350 fewer blood drives were also hosted by volunteer sponsor groups than required to meet patient needs. With more than 80 percent of blood donations made at blood drives

organized by volunteer sponsor groups and coordinators, more hosts are needed to hold blood drives in the months ahead.

About the American Red Cross: The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families.

Navy Medicine’s Physical Therapist of Year Story, photo

by PO1 Brannon Deugan Naval Hospital Pensacola

L

t. Cmdr. Marissa Greene, associate director of Clinical Support Services, Naval Hospital Pensacola (NHP), was recently named Navy Medicine’s Physical Therapy Senior Officer of the Year for 2018.

Out of more than 100 physical therapists, Greene was selected for her leadership, innovative strategies and dedication to duty that ensured 100 percent access to care for all active-duty and post-operative patients.

“In my 30-year career, I have not run into an officer with this level of quality,” Capt. Michael Allanson, director of Clinical Support Services, NHP said.

“Her ability to multitask is noteworthy, her attention to detail is exceptional and she anticipates to ensure our directorate is successful. She makes my job as a director easier, and she does all of this while maintaining the priority of providing the highest level of patient care.”

Allanson informed Greene of her selection for the award while she was on leave and traveling through the mountains of North Carolina with her family.

“I was speechless at first,” Greene said.

“I didn’t know what to say. It is truly an honor and surprising.

“This recognition is a good reminder of all the hard work that has taken place (here) over the course of the last year,” continued Greene. “Even though my name is on the citation, it was a team effort that earned this recognition and I’m happy to be a part of this team.”

Greene explained that the best part of being a physical therapist is working with the patients and watching the positive changes therapy has in their lives.

The one-on-one interactions with patients allows her to witness transformations from the first appointment to last one.

As a physical therapist in the Navy, Greene aids injured warfighters by increasing their functional ability so they can return to the mission.

“Working with active duty and keeping service members in the fight is important,” Greene said. “For example here in Pensacola, we keep the service members that are students in their prospective training pipelines so they can finish their training and move on to their first duty station in the fleet. On the other side of this situation, we work to maintain readiness by ensuring the service members that teach the students can complete their mission of training the future warfighters.”

Originally from Green Mountain, N.C., Greene was a high school student athlete in cross country, volleyball, basketball, softball and track. During her time as an athlete, she encountered injuries that required visits with the school’s

physical therapist.

“In high school, I was an athlete and I had personal interactions with physical therapists during my own injuries,” Greene said. “I developed a strong understanding about the physical therapists capabilities and impact on others.”

The positive experiences with her high school physical therapists helped mold and narrowed Greene’s decision on what career path would be best for her to pursue.

“As a senior in high school, I had narrowed my decision between being a physical therapist and a mortician,” Greene said. “I decided to go with physical therapy because it was more colorful, had really cool toys and I got to move around a lot.”

After high school, Greene attended Appalachia State University for her

undergraduate studies prior to earning a doctorate in Physical Therapy from East Tennessee State University. While completing an internship for her degree, Greene was able to work at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center where she was able to work with wounded warriors. Greene explained that this experience is what made her decide that she wanted to be in the military.

For more than eight years, Greene has been commissioned in the Navy as a physical therapist and she finds a great deal of satisfaction while being stationed at NHP. “Honestly, I love my job,” Greene said.

“I love what I do. I enjoy coming to work every day to focus on our mission here at NHP. It makes me excited about the future of military medicine. So far this is the most fun I’ve had in the Navy.”

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.

From Saenger Theatre Mobile Broussard’s Piano Gallery will present the Gulf Coast premiere of Mario Van Peebles’ new movie, Armed, at the Saenger Theatre in Mobile, Ala., Feb. 2 at 7:30 p.m. Armed is a 2018 action film written and directed by Mario Van Peebles. It stars Peebles and William Fichtner. Van Peebles will be a special guest at the event and will participate in a Q&A with the audience following the movie. The event is a celebration of Black History Month and will benefit the restoration and outreach ministry of the historic Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd.

Starring William Fichtner, Ryan Guzman, Columbus Short and Jemma Dallender, as well as Van Peebles, Armed is the story of Chief (Van Peebles), a former U.S. Marshall struggling to manage personal adversity and health crises that point to a possible conspiracy.

Mario Van Peebles is a highly regarded director, actor, producer and writer. His directorial skills can be seen in the retelling of the epic mini-series “Roots” starring Forrest Whitaker and Matthew

Goode. Van Peebles has directed award-winning shows such as the recent hit “Empire” and “The Last Ship,” as well as “Sons of Anarchy,” “Lost,” “Damages” and “Boss.”

Tickets will go on sale Jan. 28 at 10 a.m. General admission price will be $15. To purchase tickets, visit www.ticketmaster.com.

The church, located on Donald Street in Toulminville, was established in 1854 and is the oldest black Episcopal Church in Alabama. It is also the fourth oldest Episcopal Church in the state. Proceeds from this event will benefit the church’s restoration and revitalization project, which includes the installation of a new Viscount digital pipe organ.

The oldest music business on the Gulf Coast, Broussard’s Piano Gallery has been serving customers from Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana since 1945. Broussard’s sells upright pianos, grand pianos, digital pianos, organs, and musical instruments and offers a variety of services, including moving, tuning, and restoration.
