NAMI hosts 2018 United States Naval Aeromedical Conference Understanding physiological episodes involving hypoxia a key focus issue Story, photos by MC2 Michael Lieberknecht Navy Medicine Operational Training Center

More than 300 aeromedical specialists attended a weeklong conference onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola (NASP), which ended Jan. 12, designed to provide participants the latest information regarding aerospace medicine. The annual United States Naval Aeromedical Conference (USNAC) was hosted by the Naval Aerospace Medical Institute (NAMI), which welcomed several guest speakers and presenters in the Navy Medicine community to discuss a wide variety of topics. Rear Adm. Sara A. Joyner, Physiological Episode Action Team (PEAT) lead, kicked off the conference as the keynote speaker and reminded attendees that USNAC 2018’s main focus included the research and testing involving physiological episodes such as hypoxia. Hypoxia is a deficiency in the amount of oxygen reaching tissues in the body and can carry symptoms of confusion, rapid heart rate and shortness of breath. Last year, Navy pilots

training in the T-45 and pilots flying the F/A-18 Super Hornet and even the new F-35 have reported physiological episodes as a result of oxygen deprivation.

“I am looking at a group of people in front of me who are capable of fixing this, understanding this, and getting to the root cause,” Joyner said. “What I would love this week is for you all to brainstorm how you can assist Naval Aviation in overcoming these challenges.” Overall, USNAC was geared toward active-duty and reserve occupational flight surgeons, senior medical officers, dental officers, ship nurses, medical administration officers and aerospace medicine technicians (AVTs). The conference worked as a platform for participants to learn the latest in aerospace

challenges facing carrier and air wing personnel; develop courses of action to improve aeromedical support to fleet, fleet Marine force, and joint warfighters; and hear firsthand from senior leadership. One specific presentation was hosted by Lt. Cmdr. Leisa Deutsch, department head of hyperbaric medicine at NAMI, who presented on when recompression therapy for special interest physiologic episodes should be considered. This discussion was part of several briefings showing how complex categorizing and treating physiological episodes (PEs) can be. “It is a collaborative effort across Navy medicine to include the diving medicine community to offer the best available insight into treatment for these episodes,” Deutsch said. “The explanation for these PEs is constantly evolving, and it is an exciting and challenging time to be involved.” Topics of discussion also included battle readiness in the medical field, radiation health, and clinical and ancillary services.

Military Saves Week tips for saving on a budget Military Saves, a component of the nonprofit America Saves and a partner in the Department of Defense’s Financial Readiness Campaign, seeks to motivate, support and encourage military families to save money, reduce debt and build wealth. Military Saves Week is Feb. 26 through March 3. From NASP FFSC and Military Saves

How can those who currently are not saving afford to save money? And how can those saving only a little save more? Here are our top 10 tips for saving money

when budgets are tight. Tip 1: To find small savings that add up to big savings over time, keep a careful record of all (and we mean all) of your expenditures for a month. You may be surprised to learn how much you are

spending on such things as a daily latte or restaurant meals. Tip 2: For necessary purchases – such as food and transportation and insurance – comparison shop. Remember your commissary and exchange can offer

Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla.: A Bicentennial Defense Community Commanding Officer — Capt. Christopher T. Martin 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. Gosport is an authorized newspaper published every Friday by Ballinger Publishing,

Cyberattack against DoD looms, DISA warns By Lisa Ferdinando DoD News Defense Media Activity ARLINGTON, Va. – The vast, global networks of the Defense Department are under constant attack, with the sophistication of the cyber assaults increasing, the director of Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) said Jan. 11. Army Lt. Gen. Alan R. Lynn, who is also the commander of the Joint Force Headquarters, Department of Defense Information Networks, described some of the surprises of being in his post, which he has held since 2015. Lynn spoke at a luncheon of the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association’s Washington Chapter. “We do an excellent job of defending the (Department of Defense information networks), but the level of attacks that we’ve seen actually was really truly surprising and it still continues to surprise me just how robust the attacks have become,” he said.

How to submit a commentary

Washington television host Francis Rose (left) moderates a discussion with Army Lt. Gen. Alan R. Lynn (right), director of the Defense Information Systems Agency and commander of the Joint Force Headquarters, Department of Defense Information Networks, in Arlington, Va., Jan. 11. Lynn discussed cybersecurity challenges and warfighter technologies during a luncheon of the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association’s Washington chapter. Photo by Lisa Ferdinando A few years ago, getting a one-gigabyte or two-gigabyte attack at the internet access point was a big deal, he said. “Now, we get 600-gig attacks on the internet access points and unique, different ways of attacking that we hadn’t thought of before,” he added.

The Department of Defense (DoD) is fortified against even larger attacks, he said. “There’s now, we would call it the ‘terabyte of death’ – there is a terabyte of death that is looming outside the door,” he said. “We’re prepared for it, so we know it’s coming. It’s just a matter of time before it hits us.”

Lynn, who retires next month, said the size of the DoD network is something else that surprised him. He described it as a “massive,” 3.2 million-person network that he has to defend or help support in some way. “There’s something happening every second of every minute globally that you can’t take your eye off of,” he said. The department needs agile systems for the warfighter to stay ahead of an adversary that is evolving and moving, he pointed out. There are challenges to finding solutions that scale to the DoD information networks, he said. A commercial solution that works for a smaller operation might not translate into something that is effective for the worldwide DoD networks, he explained. DISA, he pointed out, is a combat support agency responsible for a multitude of networks. He cited as examples the networks between the drones and the drone

pilots, or the F-35 “flying mega-computer” that needs a lot of data and intelligence, or the “big pipes” that connect various entities to missile defense. He explained how commercial mobile platforms have been modified for warfighters to accommodate secret or top secret communications. “Anywhere they are globally, if they’ve got to make a serious decision right now and it means seconds, that’s there and available to them,” he said, adding that mobile platforms are becoming “more and more capable as we go.” Wa r f ighting, w h i c h now inc l u d e s streaming drone video feeds, is happening on mobile devices, he said. While acknowledging DISA does do “a lot of cool IT stuff,” Lynn said all of the efforts support a singular focus. “At the end of the day, it’s about lethality.”

CNO, MCPON hold Mayport all-hands call aboard USS Iwo Jima From USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7) Public Affairs Office

M

AYPORT, Fla. (NNS) – Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. John M. Richardson and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) (SG/SW/IW) Steven S. Giordano held an all-hands call onboard the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7) Jan. 24. While speaking with more than 1,100 Sailors and Marines assigned to commands homeported onboard Naval Station Mayport, Richardson and Giordano answered questions on topics such as paternity leave, training and the Sailor 2025 program. They also sent their best wishes to the crews of Iwo Jima and USS New York (LPD 21) well on their upcoming deployment. “Over the past few months with your outstanding hurricane relief efforts, you have shown how the Navy can be the best partner and friend you can choose, but now you are going to get the fighting part of the ships going so people understand we are the worst possible enemy you can ever choose,”

Richardson said. “I know that you will go out there and do a tremendous amount of good and show what the terms ‘Navy Power’ and ‘Uncommon Valor’ really mean. Be safe every day and make sure that every one of you who leave come back home as well.” Richardson and Giordano also spoke about how they begin their jobs each day. “As MCPON and I meet every day, we try to figure out the right decisions to help make you a better Sailor and help you perform to the maximum of your potential,” Richardson said. Many questions from Sailors regarded future advancements in the fleet. “If you look at the numbers, you can see that quotas are

continuing to go up,” Giordano said. “It’s critical that we help afford you every opportunity to continue your upward mobility.” “One of the major themes of today is that our Navy is growing,” Richardson said. “We are building more ships, we are recruiting at record rates, we don’t want people to depart the Navy. We want to help build a stronger Navy for the future and that means more opportunity for

each of you.” The highlight of the call was the discussion of replacing Navy Working Uniform (NWU) Type I blue undershirts with the NWU Type III undershirts. “This is the third time I’ve gotten this question,” Richardson said. “I think we can do away with the blue undershirts. Anybody have any use for the blue undershirt once we go to NWU Type IIIs? Anyone want to keep it? Okay, done, we’ll kill

it. We’ll go to brown in the near future.” Following the all-hands call Richardson and Giordano took time to shake hands and take personal photos with Sailors before departing the ship.

DoD and VA release online tool to assist veterans with discharge process From Department of Defense

WASHINGTON (NNS) –The Department of Defense (DoD), through a joint initiative with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), is pleased to announce the launch of a web-based tool that will provide customized guidance to veterans who desire to upgrade or change the conditions of their military discharge. “We are thrilled to have partnered with the Department of Veterans Affairs in developing this wonderful and easily-accessible tool,” said Robert Wilkie, Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness. “We support our veterans, whether they served recently or long ago, and we are excited to introduce a tool that will individualize the guidance for those who desire an

upgrade or change in their military discharge,” he said. Over the years, some veterans have criticized the review process as daunting or difficult to understand. The issuance of supplemental guidance over the past few years, while helpful to many, has the side effect of creating multiple guidance documents that can be confusing to some. Furthermore, some veterans suffer from mental health or other conditions that make tasks like these more difficult for them than for others. This innovative tool simplifies and customizes the guidance. By answering a few short questions, veterans will know which board they need to go to, what form to fill out, any special guidance applicable to their case, where to send their application and some helpful tips for appealing their discharge. Any

veterans who believe their discharge was unjust, erroneous, or warrants an upgrade are encouraged to use this tool and then apply for review. This tool can be found on Vets.gov at www. vets. gov/ discharge- upgradeinstructions. The link is also available on Military OneSource (www. military one source. mil/) and each of the review board’s websites. The link has also been forwarded to a number of veterans service organizations and military service organizations in order to spread the news to as many veterans as possible. This initiative was one of many in recent years aimed at improving the review process and guidance available to veterans who believe they may have been unfairly discharged or received an unfair discharge characterization. The department issued special guidance

in 2011 for veterans discharged under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” or its predecessor policies. Also, the Department issued guidance related to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) in 2014. Most recently, in February 2016, the department redoubled its efforts to ensure veterans received the benefit of the latest guidance and statutes of limitations were liberally waived in such cases. Subsequently, in December 2016, the department launched an internal review of its policies and procedures. That review disclosed some gaps and confusion in the previous guidance. In August 2017, the department issued significant guidance clarifying how review boards will consider cases involving mental health conditions, including PTSD, TBI, sexual assault or sexual harassment.

F-35 Pax River ITF complete STOVL testing

The Marine Corps’ F-35 variant makes a vertical landing Jan. 16 at Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field Bogue, N.C., during sloped surface vertical landing testing. With the sloped surface tests, the F-35 Patuxent River Integrated Test Force team wraps up testing of the F-35B short takeoff/vertical landing envelope, bringing it one step closer to initial operational test and evaluation. Through a series of vertical landing maneuvers in simulated expeditionary conditions, the team’s end goal is to expand warfighter capability for the F-35B, allowing vertical landings with relaxed sloped surface requirements. Photo courtesy of Lockheed Martin By Connie Hempel F-35 Lighting II Pax River ITF Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C. – The F-35 Patuxent River Integrated Test Force (ITF) team brings the U.S. Marine Corps’ F-35B one step closer to initial operational test and evaluation as they wrap up testing of the F-35B STOVL envelope with sloped surface vertical landing tests January and February at Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field (MCALF) Bogue, N.C. “The Marine Corps is an expeditionary force capable of deploying

on short notice to crises around the world – even to the most austere environments, and the F-35 has an exceptional expeditionary capability,” said Maj. Michael Lippert, F-35 Pax River ITF test pilot and detachment officerin-charge. “Conducting the testing at Bogue Field provides the Marine Corps with a unique opportunity to continue the test and development of the F-35 in the (short takeoff/vertical landing) mode, while simultaneously exercising components of the (Marine Air-Ground Task Force’s) Air Combat Element, specifically the Marine Wing Support Squadrons at Bogue

and MCAS Cherry Point.” The capability inherent in a STOVL jet allows the Marine Corps to operate in harsh conditions and from remote locations where few airfields are available for conventional aircraft—from abandoned or primitive runways, to long stretches of roadways. The aircraft can also operate from sites where Marines construct their own expeditionary runway or landing pads with AM-2 matting, similar to that used during the sloped surface testing. Through a series of vertical landing maneuvers in simulated expeditionary conditions, the team’s end goal will ease current sloped surface vertical landing requirements for the F-35B. “We hope to be able to relax the landing pad certification limits in terms of maximum slope/gradients in the context of expeditionary pads—existing and future,” said Bob Nantz, F-35 Pax River ITF Performance/Environmental Technical Specialist. With Marines from the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing capturing real-time lessons learned, some of the test results will be instantaneous. However much of the data will require significant analysis before any updates can be made to the fleet, Lippert said. The Pax River ITF will analyze nearly 200 data test points to assess how well the F-35B operates on varying slopes, impacts of head and tailwinds, and the effect of aft center of gravity in conjunction with ground slopes. “These updates will eventually make it to our fleet aircraft while the capabilities of the F-35 will continue to transform the way we fight and win,” Lippert said. Since the Marine Corps declared initial operational capability for the F35B in July 2015, the service has been

continuing to mature the platform, through tests like the sloped surface testing, to further refine the operational concepts that allow the service to fully leverage the air system’s capability. The F-35B is capable of conducting close air support, offensive and defensive counter air, air interdiction, assault support escort and armed reconnaissance as part of a Marine Air Ground Task Force or in support of the Joint Force. “Not only will this test expand the expeditionary envelope for the B variant, working with the Marine Wing Support Squadrons at Bogue and MCAS Cherry Point showcases their unique skillsets and demonstrates the ability for our Marines and their equipment to precisely build expeditionary sites suitable for F-35 operations,” Lippert said. Marines from the 2nd MAW staged the Bogue testing site for the Pax River ITF team by constructing sloped landing pads with AM-2 matting, the same matting Marines use to build airfields nearly anywhere around the world. Second MAW squadrons provide aviation ground support, enabling Marine Aircraft Groups to conduct expeditionary operations. “Every opportunity that we get as a Marine Wing Support Squadron to provide aviation ground support is a highly valued opportunity,” said Gunnery Sgt. Julio Silva, Marine Wing Support Squadron 274 Expeditionary Airfield Services chief. “The information gained will not only help the JSF but will also ensure that the expeditionary airfield capability is enhanced as we welcome the Marine Corps’ newest generation of aircraft into fold.”

Pensacola local earns Wings of Gold at NAS Whiting Field By Ens. Caroline Ready NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs Offices

H

ailing from just 33 miles where his Wings of Gold were earned, a Pensacola local is now a naval aviator and one of the service’s newest helicopter pilots. Ens. Robert Burns Jr. earned his wings during the winging ceremony onboard Naval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) Jan. 26 in front of family and friends as the 34,134th aviator to be winged on the installation. Burns is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy, where he earned his commission and the opportunity to train to become a naval aviator. He graduated from Pensacola High School in 2012. His father, retired Lt. Col. Robert Burns Sr. was a Marine Cobra pilot who, like his son, earned his wings of gold out of Helicopter Training Squadron 18 (HT-18). Burns Sr. later returned to NAS Whiting Field as an instructor at HT-8 for 10 years. Burns Sr. expressed how proud he is and how memorable it was to be able to wing his son. “The main thing I was thinking was, those are my old wings that I had when I got winged,” Burns Sr. said. “They are tarnished and bent from when my dad hit them and bent them, so that’s meant a lot to me, being able to pass that on to my son.” Spending most of his time in Pensacola while his father was an instructor, Burns Jr. realized that being an aviator

would be interesting and exciting. “Around the time I started applying to college is when I really started looking in to becoming a pilot,” Burns Jr. said. “When I saw my first winging, I noticed that they weren’t that much different than me, and I thought that could be me in a couple of years.” His mother Tess Burns was still in shock that her son is following in her husband’s footsteps as a helicopter pilot. “It’s beyond cool,”she said.

“I told R.J. (Burns Jr.) ‘you’re going to have to pinch me later,’ because I still can’t be-

lieve you’re an aviator and doing what your dad did. When (Burns Sr.) was an instructor,

I remember, he would come home and say ‘if I could do this for the rest of my life, this would be the coolest job,’ and when RJ wanted to become a pilot I thought, he’s going to love it.” Burns Jr. took the stage at Friday‘s winging ceremony accompanied by his parents and his two sisters. Burns’ father winged him at the center of the stage during the ceremony as a projector displayed the new aviator’s name with future helicopter platform, the CH-53E. The Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion is a heavy-lift cargo helicopter that has been in service since 1981. Burns relayed his excitement for his future in aviation. “I am looking forward to more flying, more training and serving as a pilot in the Navy,” Burns said.

By Kaitlyn Peacock Gosport Staff Writer The annual Pensacola Grand Mardi Gras Parade will be held Feb. 10 through Pensacola’s historic downtown. The parade is a longstanding tradition of Pensacola and is attended by more than 100,000 people. To celebrate their sophomore football season and their trip to the 2017 NCAA Division II Football National Championship game, the University of West Florida Argonauts team will serve as grand marshals for the prade. As grand marshals, the team will lead the parade through downtown Pensacola. “We were all so excited to see the Argos make it all the way to the national champi-

onship game, and we can’t wait to celebrate them at the Pensacola Grand Mardi Gras Parade,” said Danny Zimmern, president of the Pensacola Mardi Gras Inc. “We are thrilled to honor the team, and invite all of the Gulf Coast to join us and show their Argos pride.” Krewes interested in marching during the parade must have their applications and registration fees received by today, Feb. 2, at the Pensacola Mardi Gras Inc. offices. This includes the motorized vehicle liability waiver on any motorized vehicles that will travel the parade route. Late applications are accepted solely at the discretion of Pensacola Mardi Gras Inc., with a $125 late fee. Additional rules apply. To down-

load an application and for a complete list of parade rules, visit www.pensacolamardigras.com. The parade lineup will start on Spring Street at 10 a.m. Feb. 10. Spring Street will close to traffic starting at 6 a.m. Other road closures are expected, including Garden Street and Palafox Street closures. The parade will begin 2 p.m and is expected to conclude by 6 p.m. Roads will be reopened after cleanup. The parade is free and open to the public. Due to limited space and road closures, attendees are encouraged to arrive early. The parade will run regardless of weather.
