Division Officer Lt. Mark Gackowski is pleased to report that the Naval Air Station Pensacola’s E-28 Emergency Runway Arresting Gear Division passed its annual certification with flying colors.

“My goal was to not only to pass the gear cert, but to correct all deficiencies to ensure that safety guidelines and proper operations are up to par and maintained,” Gackowski said.

Otherwise known as “Arresting Gear,” the division of 30-plus Sailors led by Gackowski and maintenance leading chief

petty officer ABEC Daryl Pierce of the NASP Air Operations Department, has been working around the clock for the last few months to prepare for certification, which was administered in the last week of January. Passing the certification proves that NASP Arresting Gear is equipped to safely arrest tailhook equipped aircraft, from T-45 Goshawks to F/A-18s, in the event of an aborted takeoff or emergency landing – which is vital to overall operations.

The Carrier Airfield Support Unit (CAFSU) inspectors began work on Jan. 29 and were prepared to spend the whole week inspecting the arresting gear, but NASP’s gear division was definitely prepared for them. With only two days of inspection followed by review and training, the inspectors apparently were more than satisfied with what they saw.

Arresting Gear assistant leading petty officer ABE2 Jonathan Hollenbaugh said all of the crew’s hard work paid off.

“Without the support of my workcenter, working the long hours and weekends for the past nine months, preparing all 12 arresting gear engines, none of this could have been achievable,” he said. “And it paid off, because not only did we pass, but we had outstanding results and it showed because the inspectors were impressed beyond their expectations.”

NMOTC service members complete SAPR-F training Navy Medicine Operational Training Center Public Affairs

Slightly more than one month after the Southeast region Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Fleet (SAPR-F) Master Mobile Training Team deployed to NAS Pensacola, Sailors from the U.S. Navy’s recognized global leader in operational medical and aviation survival training participated in a 90-minute course Jan. 29 designed to familiarize them with new SAPR guidelines.

Navy Medicine Operational Training Center (NMOTC) Sailors, in keeping with a June 2012 Navy directive designed to prevent sexual assault and promote cul-

ture changes throughout the Navy, participated in SAPR-F training, a mandatory effort for active duty Sailors in paygrades E-6 and below.

NMOTC Staff Education and Training leading chief petty officer and SAPR-F facilitator MAC(SW/EXW) Roger Tice said the fleet-wide SAPR-F program is invaluable, and can serve to familiarize and empower every Sailor with critical tools to reduce sexual assault and promote professionalism at the command, fleet and Navy levels.

“This training (SAPR-F) illustrates the problems Sailors can encounter when hearing of or witnessing a sexual assault,”

TRICARE Online bringing options to patients

By Jason J. Bortz NHP PAO

TRICARE beneficiaries have a new option to make receiving medical care even easier at Naval Hospital Pensacola (NHP) and its branch health clinics.

TRICARE Online (TOL) provides information and tools to assist beneficiaries with a variety of health care needs that can be accessed 24-hours a day from anywhere through the Internet.

“TRICARE Online is another tool to empower our patients to have the ability to schedule an appointment, review their lab results, renew a prescription refill or connect to RelayHealth

and ask their provider a question through one portal,” said Cmdr.

Michael Kohler, director, Health Care Business, NHP. Patients of Naval Hospital Pensacola can still obtain all of these services by contacting their provider or Medical Home Team, but TOL does provide an online option that many patients may find useful.

To use TOL, users must login at www.tricareonline.com with a Department of Defense Common Access Card (CAC), a Defense Finance and Accounting Services (DFAS) myPay login information or a DoD Self-Service Logon (DS Logon). Patients without a

CAC, myPay account or an existing DS Logon can create a

DS Logon as long as their information is located in the Defense

Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS).

Once in TOL, patients will find a variety of helpful health care services that are easy to use.

The prescription refill option allows patients to request refills for existing medication, check the status of prescriptions or link to TRICARE’s pharmacy program. Patients can also schedule an appointment, set reminders and cancel appointments from the comfort of home or a mobile device. Sponsors can also make appointments for their family members with TRICARE Online. Patients need to be aware

On Feb. 8, 1965, ‘naval aviation observers’ became naval flight officers

Naval flight officers celebrate 48 years of service

By Lt. Ransome Springer VT-10

Feb. 8, 2013, marks the 48th anniversary of the naval flight officer (NFO) designator in the U.S. Navy. On Feb. 8, 1965, the designation of “naval aviation observer” was changed to naval flight officer (NFO), by Bureau of Personnel Instruction 1210.4C, thereby making it an unrestricted line officer (URL) billet. Prior to 1965, both enlisted and officers served in the position of naval aviation observer, responsible for the duties of both current NFO and aircrew.

At that time, eight subspecialties were available: bombardier, controller, electric countermeasures evaluator, navigator, interceptor, photographer-navigator, tactical coordinator and reconnaissance navigator. NFOs are winged officers that are not trained as pilots to fly airplanes, but instead have numerous other duties involved in completing their missions. All NFOs share a common set of fundamental skills that enable them to be effective warriors in the air.

These core capabilities are universally dispersed through the full spectrum of Tacair (Rhino/ Growler/Prowler) and Big Wing (Orion/Poseidon/ Aries/Mercury/Hawkeye) communities, and consist of navigation, communication and sensor/weapon system management.

Equally important but not readily apparent, all NFOs must be knowledgeable in a myriad of enemy threat capabilities and counter tactics. Despite the constant nature of change throughout the United States military and specifically naval aviation, NFO training has remained consistent in its quality and location at Naval Air Station Pensacola.

All of the Navy’s NFO training is concentrated at Training Air Wing Six (TraWing-6). All U.S. Navy and Marine Corps student NFOs are trained at TraWing-6.

Additionally, TraWing-6 is training NFOs from Germany, Singapore and Saudi Arabia.

TraWing-6 is comprised of two squadrons: the “Wildcats” of VT-10 for primary and intermediate training and the

he said. “This training reinforces the Navy’s aggressive policy on getting these sorts of crimes reported, and the corrective action for everyone involved. While it takes all hands to ensure a ship can deploy and all hands to make sure a combat unit is ready, it takes all hands to make sure that we look out for our shipmates.”

The SAPR-F training is designed to detail bystander intervention, equipping Sailors with the knowledge and

“Sabrehawks” of VT-86 for Advanced Tacair training. In October 2013, the “Warbucks” of VT-4 will be re-commissioned and join TraWing-6 to provide Advanced training for Big Wing NFOs. All NFO students enter VT-10 where they fly the T-6A Texan II in their primary phase of flight training. After graduation from primary, students who select the P-3C Orion, P-8A Poseidon EP3 Aries or E-6B Mercury progress immediately to their respective fleet replacement squadron (FRS) for specific platform training. The P-3/P8 community mission is primarily long-range anti-

submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASuW) and intelligence/surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR).

The E-6B’s mission is to provide communications relay and to be a strategic airborne command post aircraft. Students who are selected to fly in the E-2C Hawkeye remain with TraWing-6 for intermediate training where they fly the T-39G/N Saberliner.

At the completion of intermediate training, those who select E-2C move on to the FRS squadron. The E-2 community mission is to provide carrier-based tactical battle management with airborne early warning

skills necessary to engage, address and positively impact behavior at the lowest level.

The interactive question-and-answer forum is mandatory throughout the Navy, a standardized model designed to elicit an all-hands effort to reduce and ultimately eliminate sexual assault crimes. With more than 580 reported sexual assaults occurring in the Navy in Fiscal Year 2011, the Navy’s SAPR program was reevaluated, launching its revamped program in June 2012.

and command and control.

Students selected for tactical air communities also complete intermediate training in the T-39, but continue to VT-86 for advanced training.

While in VT-86, students fly the T-39G/N Saberliner and T-45C Goshawk.

Following their winging, NFOs select either the FA-18F Super Hornet or the EA18G Growler. The FA18F NFO position is known as the weapons system officer (WSO) with the mission of both air to air and air to ground strike warfare.

The EA-18G NFO positions are designated as

electronic warfare officers (EWOs) with the mission of electronic attack via a vast array of sensors and weapons which provide the warfighter with a lethal and survivable weapon system to counter current and emerging threats.

The future of NFO training holds even more changes.

TraWing-6 is undergoing a major shift in its curriculum as they phase out the aging T-39 Sabreliner and focus NFO training solely with the T-6A and T-45C. With the addition of VT4 later this year, all NFOs, regardless of platform, will complete their training in TraWing-6 and receive their wings of gold before moving on to their respective FRSs. This is the largest syllabus shift in TraWing-6 since it was commissioned in 1972. It will provide a more focused and efficient level of training and should ultimately produce better trained NFOs able to move on to the fleet aircraft to execute whatever missions they are assigned.

said the training provided the nearly 75 junior enlisted Sailors in his command a different look at something that has proved detrimental to a command environment in the past.

“Sexual assault undermines the command’s integrity and ability to function,” he said. “When these sorts of crimes occur, the victim suffers, their shipmates suffer, and the command suffers. Every Sailor bears a responsibility to their shipmates to ensure they are part of an organization that cannot tolerate these sorts of crimes.”

Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla.: A Bicentennial Defense Community Commanding Officer — Capt. Christopher W. Plummer Public Affairs Officer — Harry C. White 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.

that some clinics may not support online appointments yet, but most of them do.

Contact your provider or Medical Home Team if you have questions.

Another helpful feature of TOL is the “Blue Button.” The Blue Button allows patients to have access to their personal health data such as outpatient medication profile, allergy profile and current medications available for refill. The Blue Button will also show some laboratory results, though patients should contact their provider for an explanation of the results.

When a patient needs to contact their provider, TOL allows for secure messaging between a patient and provider through RelayHealth. RelayHealth is a secure and HIPAA-compliant portal that allows patients to ask specific questions to their provider. Of course, patients can still call or schedule an office visit with a provider.

Time to start thinking about NMCRS contribution

By Gil Chase Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society volunteer

In a little more than a month, the annual ActiveDuty Fund Drive in support of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) will begin. This annual fund drive, as you may know, is the source of funds that NMCRS uses each year to assist Sailors, Marines and their families. As usual, all active-duty Sailors and Marines will be asked to contribute. Some will, and some won’t, for various reasons. As a retired Navy guy and volunteer with NMCRS, I’ve heard many of the reasons (and excuses), but the most often repeated one is, “I’ll never need their help.”

Well, maybe so, and maybe not. The fact is, that approximately 20 percent of all service members on active duty with the Navy and Marine Corps, need assistance from NMCRS; that is about one out of every five. During 2011, NMCRS assisted 96,061 Sailors, Marines and their families and in doing so, provided $48 million in financial assistance.

In Pensacola alone, NMCRS processed 2,376 financial cases and provided $976,656 in financial assistance. So, saying “I’ll never need help from NMCRS,” may not always be the case.

You might be a great money manager and you may not spend money foolishly, but unplanned things can happen to all of us. What will you do

if your wife suddenly needs thousands of dollars in dental work, or you need four new tires, or a new transmission and you have nothing saved?

How about if you have to go on emergency leave and can’t afford the travel expenses?

These things have happened to those we have helped and could happen to you (or a very dear friend).

Even if you never have to call on NMCRS, some of your shipmates or fellow Marines, surely will; and your donation might help them and/or their family. Look at the 2011 statistics and ask yourself, who the 2,376 people were who needed nearly $1 million worth of assistance. For sure, it was a Sailor or Marine or a family member. One or more of them may have been a friend.

So, please think again about why you can’t donate? You may never need to borrow that

donation, but a shipmate or fellow Marine may desperately need the assistance. You know, a small monthly donation might cost less than a fancy cup of coffee.

Isn’t it great to know that NMCRS is all about Sailors and Marines helping Sailors and Marines? You and your friends might consider donating for just that reason, if for no other. Keep in mind that the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society is not federally funded and does not receive a share of the Combined Federal Campaign funds.

Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society serves and supports you – Sailors and Marines – because you defend us, our freedoms and our very way of life.

Contributions to the NMCRS are fully deductible under Section 170(b)(1)(a) of the IRS Code. The NMCRS is exempt from federal income

tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the tax code.

Founded in 1904, the NavyMarine Corps Relief Society is a private, non-profit charitable organization. It is sponsored by the Department of the Navy and operates nearly 250 offices ashore and afloat at Navy and Marine Corps bases throughout the world. The NMCRS was incorporated in the District of Columbia and has its headquarters in Arlington, Va. It is managed by a board of directors whose members are active duty or retired members of the naval services, or spouses of active duty or retired members of the naval services.

The Pensacola office of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, located aboard NAS Pensacola in Bldg. 191 at 91 Radford Blvd., is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays (except for holidays) and can be reached at 452-2300.

Mabus releases statement on Women in Service Review From Secretary of the Navy PAO

WASHINGTON (NNS) – Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus released the following statement Jan. 24 on the Women in Service Review.

“I fully support Secretary Panetta’s decision to rescind the 1994 Direct Ground Combat Definition and Assignment Rule, which removes barriers preventing women Sailors and Marines from reaching their potential in certain fields.

“I am pleased the Navy has completed an initiative I announced several months ago to open up one of the few areas not currently available to women, that of service on Virginia-class submarines (SSNs). Three years ago we announced a policy change allowing women to serve in guided-missile attack (SSGNs) and ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) and this is a planned continuation of that effort.

“Along with the changes already being made in the submarine force,

rescinding the Direct Ground Combat and Assignment Rule allows Navy to expand opportunities for women in our riverine forces and in Navy billets that directly support Marine infantry operations like hospital corpsman and chaplains.

“The Marine Corps has already opened officer and staff noncommissioned officer billets in unrestricted mission occupational specialties in ground combat units that were previously closed to women such as artillery,

armor, low altitude air defense and combat engineer battalions. We will continue to seek female volunteers to train at the Infantry Officer Course to prepare women to serve in the infantry as part of a comprehensive research plan that will inform the Marine Corps’ implementation plan.

“Women continue to serve bravely and honorably at sea and ashore.

Drawing from their talent in additional assignments increases our ability to maintain readiness.”

Fleet air traffic controllers train onboard NASP before deployment Story, photos

by Lt. Jonathan Bacon NATTC PAO

N

aval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) announced Feb. 1 that air traffic controllers from the nuclear aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) recently completed proficiency training.

During the two weeks they were at the training center, George Washington crew members worked as a team to prepare for their upcoming spring deployment.

NATTC instructors led the air traffic control watch teams through complex scenarios, specifically designed for their ship, in the Carrier Air Traffic Control Center (CATCC) simulators at NATTC’s Air Traffic

Control schoolhouse.

“It’s important to receive this type of training at NATTC,” said NATTC instructor AC3 Tracey Walker. “These sessions bring a sense of camaraderie and good morale before the teams go out on deployment.”

The purpose of the simulator scenarios was to challenge the teams and help them regain the proficiency that may have been lost since their last deployment

AC1 Erwin Sinsay, a member of the Carrier Air Traffic Control Center (CATCC) team from the USS George Washington (CVN 73), directs approaching aircraft from the Approach A station in the CATCC trainer at Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC).

“This training has been an invaluable refresher for our watch-standers,” said Lt.j.g.

James Williams, George Washington’s carrier control watch officer. “Observing how well the controllers performed in the simulators will help us determine what stations our personnel will fill on the watch-quarterand-station bill during the next deployment.”

Since its commissioning in 1942, NATTC has been committed to training technical experts for the Naval Aviation Enterprise. NATTC graduates approximately 15,000 Navy and Marine students annually. The majority of the student population is made up of enlisted personnel attending “A” schools, where they earn the skills and knowledge required to perform as technicians at the apprentice level. Advanced schools provide higher level technical knowl-

edge for senior petty officers and specialty schools offer specific skills not particular to any one rating, such as airman apprentice training, maintenance, personal financial management and shipboard aircraft firefighting.

NATTC also conducts technical training for officers in aviation fuels, carrier air traffic control center operations, amphibious air traffic control center operations, aircraft launch and recovery equipment, and shipboard aircraft fire fighting.

Additionally, NATTC supports the fleet by providing team training to ships personnel during their pre-deployment workups, to ensure that shipboard personnel have the proficiency required to take their ship on deployment, after a prolonged period in port.

Military Kids website also helps parents, educators From National Center for Telehealth and Technology

(NNS) – The Defense Department website for military children has added new features to help parents and educators explain difficult topics of the military lifestyle to children.

Since its launch in January 2012, MilitaryKidsConnect.org has served more than 125,000 visitors and won five industry excellence awards. To mark the one-year anniversary, the website added new content designed for children, parents and educators, officials said.

The new features include: • Military culture videos and lesson plans for teachers, school counselors, and educators to better understand the

differences between military and civilian youth; • Graphic novels and mini-documentaries by military kids sharing their experiences; • New modules for children and parents on handling grief, loss and physical injury.

The website, created by the Defense Department’s National Center for Telehealth and Technology, known as T2, uses innovative ways to help military youth cope with the unique strains of military life. In addition to disruptions from parents deploying to assignments away from home, military children are affected by moving frequently, changing schools and making new friends. They also have to live with readjustment issues when a parent returns from deployments. These issues may include post-traumatic stress and physical disabilities.

“After watching the interaction with kids on MilitaryKidsConnect this past year, we saw many conversations about trying to understand the issues they live with,” said Dr. Kelly Blasko, T2 psychologist. “We developed the added features to help parents and teachers answer the questions the kids were sharing with each other.”

Blasko said the website is continuing to add features and information to military children with the special challenges of living in a military family. Separations, moving and changing friends frequently may be unusual for civilian children, but it’s a normal lifestyle for military children. The website helps them live in that world and, hopefully, makes it more fun for them, Blasko added.

Beach gets a helping hand from NHP

By MC1 James Stenberg Assistant Public Affairs Officer, NHP

A

s the sun rose over the beach on the morning of Jan. 12, members of Naval Hospital Pensacola’s (NHP) Ambulatory Procedure Unit and Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (APU/PACU) were busy cleaning a portion of Rosamond Johnson Beach that is not accessible by car.

Members of Naval Hospital Pensacola’s Ambulatory Procedure Unit and Post-Anesthesia Care Unit comb a section of Johnson Beach Jan. 12 looking for trash during a recent clean-up effort.

Lt. Jason Brough, a nurse with Naval Hospital Pensacola’s Ambulatory Procedure Unit and PostAnesthesia Care Unit, pilots a shallow water boat on Jan. 12 from Sherman Cove, Naval Air Station Pensacola, to Johnson Beach near Fort McRee.

Navy Lt. Jason Brough, APU/PACU nurse, of Corpus Christi, Texas, organized the beach clean-up after noticing the hard-to-reach area during his frequent fishing trips to the beach along Perdido Key. “There are portions of Johnson Beach that are easily accessible by car, but as you go out towards Fort (McRee) there’s no road, so it’s only accessible by boat,” Brough said as he explained the circumstances that led him to organize the beach clean-up.

“Several of (the hospital staff) fish and do activities on the water and we just noticed that this was a part of the beach (that needed some attention) and it’s difficult to get to for your average beach comber.”

Brough then contacted National

Park Service officials at Gulf Islands National Seashore to see what he could do about the beach.

After receiving information about the wildlife and their habitat in the area, he was given the “OK” to proceed with the clean-up effort from the organization.

“Lt. Brough asked several of the staff, enlisted and officers alike, if they would like to participate in giving back to the community in the form of a beach cleanup,” said Lt. j.g. Sarah Carmack, APU/PACU nurse, of Willoughby, Ohio. “It’s just nice to be able to keep the areas and attractions clean.”

On the morning of the clean-up, approximately 25 members of the hospital’s APU and PACU, along with family members, met at Sherman Cove onboard Naval Air

Station Pensacola to board boats that would shuttle them out to the beach.

“It was a lot of plastic bottles, beer cans, beer bottles and all manner of debris like that,” said Brough. “There was some household debris, but probably the oddest piece we found was a complete porcelain toilet.”

After collecting several large bags of trash, the volunteers gathered for a planned picnic as a thank you for the effort given from everyone involved.

When asked about the success of the outing Brough said, “It was a lot of fun and we’re looking forward to doing it again. We are contemplating, as a unit, doing an adopt-a-beach and adopting that stretch of the beach to do on a regular basis.”

NASWF’s Civilians of the Year From NASWF PAO

D

uring a recent command safety standown in the base auditorium, NASWF Executive Officer Cmdr.

Jonathan Lewis gave a quick shout out to civilian employees congratulating them on their accomplishments.

For Steve Terrell and Anthony Breaux, it was the first acknowledgement of their selection as Civilian and Junior Civilian of the Year for Naval Air Station Whiting Field.

The recognition rightfully showcases a year of hard work for the two employees and expresses the base’s appreciation of their efforts. It was the first time either had been picked for the awards.

Terrell serves as one of the operations department’s Operations Duty Officer, where he coordinates flight operations at both north and south fields at NAS Whiting Field as well as at seven Navy

Outlying Fields across two states and five counties.

Such coordination entails supervising emergency response support, mitigating aircraft hazards and responding to unauthorized use of the airfields.

A mission he performs exceptionally well, according to his supervisor.

“Due to his extensive experience and constant vigilance as an ODO, Mr. Terrell often discovers prospective issues and situations before they impact the operations and mission at NAS Whiting Field …

(He) is an invaluable asset to the NAS Whiting Field team and is a solid performer who has greatly

contributed to the base’s accomplishments,” Cmdr.

Joseph Hutchinson, NAS Whiting Field operations officer, stated in his nomination.

Additionally, Terrell helped to facilitate the $12.5 million airfield lighting and signage renovation project; assisted in the training of more than 700 military aviators during the year; coordinated access for personnel and equipment for a $450,000 drainage project; and ensured safe airfield operations throughout the year.

Breaux, the Junior Civilian of the Year, works as the police training officer for NAS Whiting Field’s security depart-

ment. His duties encompass force protection and law enforcement training for the 122-member security force. Despite the challenges of a rotating schedule, constant manning of posts around the base and limited access to reserve personnel and auxiliary force team members, Breaux ensures that every person is trained to meet the department’s requirements. This included enabling the weapon qualifications of more than 300 Sailors assigned to the pre-commissioning crew of the USS Arlington which will hold the desig-

nation of (LPD-24) based out of Pascagoula, Miss.

He also volunteers with the Escambia High School Navy JROTC shooting team to help prepare the unit for its shooting competitions.

“Mr. Breaux is an accomplished professional and a recognized subject matter expert,” said Lt. David Vandyke, NAS Whiting Field’s security officer. “He readily volunteers for additional assignments outside and above his position description and always performs above expectations.”

“Through God all things are possible,” Breaux said. “Not expecting or looking for anything just doing your job pays off. It’s a wonderful thing to be selected as Whiting Field Junior Civilian of the Year. I’m honored and blessed to received this award. I was always told, a little hard work and dedication goes a long way.”

The annual award recognizes government employees who excel

within their departments, work to assist other departments, seek opportunities beyond the scope of their job descriptions and promote NAS Whiting Field beyond the fence line of the base. All the candidates are nominated by their departments. The nomination packages are reviewed by the base awards board with final recommendations going to the commanding officer for selection. In addition to the honor of being the recipient of the award, there is a financial incentive as well.

MWR Outdoor Recreation moves to a new home at NASWF From NASWF PAO

MWR Outdoor Recreation has moved to a new home in the Naval Air Station Whiting Field Bowling Alley, Bldg. 1475, Saratoga St. The move was made Dec. 17 and they are ready to serve you now.

According to Jessica Arbogast, MWR Outdoor Recreation specialist, the move was made because of a necessity for a larger facility and one that is closer to the supply warehouse. Outdoor Recreation is a rental center and a trip program management office that offers outdoor recreation opportunities to all active duty, retirees, dependents, DoD civilians and reservists.

A primary focus of the program is to provide a stress reducing outlet for student and instructor pilots.

They moved to a location that is now a mere 25 yards from their supply warehouse resulting in several key benefits. The significant benefits resulting from the new location are that Outdoor Recreation can now offer 13-

foot travel camping trailers and the customer can now pick up the rental equipment at the same location where the rental equipment was paid for. Additionally, the new site provides approximately 100 square feet more space than the previous home of the rental equipment.

“I am really excited to be closer to my warehouse and in a bigger location, especially one that will be easier to find by the patrons,” Arbogast said. “I believe this change shows that we are committed to serve our customers by providing them the best products available.”

Outdoor recreation is responsible for the popular Outdoor Adventure Program at Whiting Field. The Outdoor Adventure Program, OAP, is designed to introduce participants to outdoor recreation opportunities through trips, educational programs, seminars and gear rentals. Regardless of skill level, participants will have the opportunity to develop lifetime recreational skills, learn about safety and proper technique, gain an appre-

ciation and concern for our natural environment, meet new people and have a great time. From indoor climbing, to multi-day hiking, biking and paddling trips, the OAP has something for everyone.

The outdoor recreation programs build a sense of community, promote skill development and provide for stress relief and enjoyment while conserving and protecting wildlife, forests, wetlands and other natural resources. The program contributes to military mission readiness through adventure and challenge-type activities that tests functional fitness and motor skills and enhances unit cohesion.

Outdoor Recreation will be posting its upcoming event schedule within the next couple of weeks on the Whiting Field MWR Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/WFMWR. Hours of operation are Monday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Thursday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Saturday,– 8 a.m. to noon.

‘THROW ME SOMETHING MISTER!’ What’s the story behind Mardi Gras?

A

s a major holiday in parts of Europe and South America, the celebration dates back to 1703 when the tiny French colony of Mobile, Ala., observed North America’s first Mardi Gras.

The Cowbellion de Rakin society took loudly to Mardi Gras revelers in previous year’s downtown Pensacola parade (clockwise) LSU Alumni Association, the streets in 1830 armed with rakes, hoes and cow- Krewe of Blues, Krewe of Mystic Mafia, Krewe du Ya-Yas. Photos by Mike O’Connor bells plundered from a hardware store and no doubt later kept the feast with whatever food and drink they had. Although they marched on New Year’s Eve and not Fat Tuesday, it was a true antecedent of Mardi Gras in Mobile and the first mystic societies, which were later formed in the 1830s. Later, in 1857, the Mobile members of the Cowbellian de Rakin Society traveled to New Orleans and assisted with the formation of the Mystic Krewe of Comus, to this day New Orleans’ most prestigious Mardi Gras society. From these early roots grew the wonderful Mardi Gras celebrations found today in the Port City.

The stress of the Civil War brought an end to the annual festivities in Mobile. After the war and under Union occupation, the city was disillusioned and discouraged. On the afternoon of Fat Tuesday in 1866, Joseph Stillwell Cain set out to raise the spirits of Mobile. He donned Chickasaw Indian regalia, called himself “Chief Slacabormorinico,” climbed aboard a decorated coal wagon pulled by a mule and held a one-float parade through the streets of Mobile. Mardi Gras with all its frivolity was reborn.

Cain founded many of the mystic societies and built a tradition of Mardi Gras parades, which continue today. In fact, he is remembered each year on Joe Cain Day, which is the Sunday before Ash Wednesday. Known as “the people’s day,” Mardi Gras revelers decorate anything they can push, pull or drag for the Joe Cain procession and parade, which is as much fun to watch as it is to ride. Cain • 2013 Krewe of Lafitte Illuminated Parade tonight, Feb. 8, in downtown Pensacola at 8 p.m. himself participated in each year’s festivity until he • 2013 Pensacola Grand Mardi Gras parade, tomorrow, Feb. 9, in downtown Pensacola at 2 died at age 72. p.m., visit http://pensacola mardigras.com/ for more information.

The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program provides prevention, intervention and a 24/7/365 response to adult victims of sexual assault. Active-duty and adult family member sexual assault victims have a choice of reporting options, unrestricted and restricted.

Unrestricted reporting allows a victim to have an advocate, seek medical care, counseling, legal services, safety interventions such as a Military Protective Order (MPO), separation from offender, expedited transfer, etc. To access an unrestricted report, the victim may report to his/her chain-ofcommand, security/law enforcement, NCIS, SAPR VA, SARC, and his/her CO shall commence an investigation.
