Get out of debt: Military Saves Week is Feb. 26 through March 3 From NASP FFSC and Military Saves

Roughly one in six savers has selected paying off consumer debts as their wealth-building goal. That does not come as a surprise since, along with modest incomes, large consumer debts are the most important financial reason that people have trouble saving and building wealth. The good news is that there is hope. With planning, discipline, patience and maybe some outside help, almost anyone can reduce their debts and start to accumulate wealth. Are you in trouble? If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, then you probably need to get your debts under better control: 1. Can you only afford to make minimum payments on your credit cards? 2. Do you worry about finding the money to make monthly car payments? 3. Do you borrow money to pay off old debts? 4. Have you used a home equity loan to refinance credit card debts, then run up new revolving balances on your cards? Why too much debt is costly? Borrowing more money than you can afford is costly in many ways. Americans spend well over $75 billion a year just on See Military Saves on page 2

The Pensacola Council of the Navy League is proud to announce the winner of the Margaret Flowers Civic Award for 2017, Naval Air Technical Training Center’s ABE1 (NATTC) (AW/SW) Michael P. Shannon. The award was given yesterday, Feb. 22, at a luncheon held to honor all of the enlisted service members who volunteered their time in contribution of the local community. In his write-up, Cmdr. Russell A. Lawrence, Shannon’s department head, spoke highly of Shannon’s attributes. “Petty Officer Shannon’s superior performance, professionalism and reliability while serving in a leadership position in the (NATTC) Air Training Department have been outstanding,” he wrote. “His persistent dedication to helping his community was instrumental to NATTC’s selection as the 2017 Project Good Neighbor Flagship Award, and the Health, Safety and Fitness Flagship Award winner for large commands.

without Petty Officer Shannon’s contributions, both as an individual volunteer and his efforts coordinating thousands of volunteers for hundreds of individual events.” In 2017, Shannon devoted countless hours toward community outreach and improvement with several local organizations. Among his services include 130 hours mentoring an 11-year-old “Little Brother,” as part of the Big Brother, Big Sister program. His contribution

helped his “Little Brother” develop improved study habits, class participation and positive thinking. Shannon was also heavily involved with leading and coordination NATTC Sailors and Marines to assist teaching children how to live a healthy, active life through organization such as Miracle League Youth Baseball, Heroes on the Water Association, Blue Wahoos Youth Sports Initiatives, Pensacola High School Football and Escambia High School Football. These efforts culminated into a total of 3,118 volunteer hours served in these organizations. Shannon also led 63 volunteer events with a total of 317 volunteers to assist the quality of life for shelter animals with the Escambia County Animal Shelter, leading to another 2,165 volunteer hours contributed. He also volunteered as a Coalition of Sailors Again Destructive Decisions (CSADD) advocate, mentoring Sailors, Marines and Airmen.

Nurses, corpsmen honored with DAISY Award at NHP Story, photo by Jason Bortz Naval Hospital Pensacola

Naval Hospital Pensacola (NHP) held a ceremony to announce the winners of the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses Feb. 2. The ceremony marked the first time the DAISY Award has been given at NHP. According to the DAISY Foundation website, The DAISY Award celebrates nurses who provide extraordinary compassionate and skillful care every day. DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. The DAISY Foundation was formed in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died at 33 of complications from idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, an auto-immune disease. The nursing care that Barnes received had a significant impact on his family and inspired them to create the DAISY Foundation. Over 2,800 health care facilities in all 50 states and 17 countries participate in the program and honor nurses with the DAISY Award. In addition to recognizing ex-

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,

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIOFORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas – When Air Force Airman 1st Class Gisella Panchana graduated from the Medical Education and Training Campus (METC) Jan. 30, the graduation started the next phase of Panchana’s service in the Air Force, continuing her training as a radiology technician at Travis Air Force Base, Calif. Even though Panchana is excited about continuing her military career, her graduation means she will no longer be able to be around her younger sister, Navy SN Michelle Panchana, a Navy hospitalman who is also a student at METC. While the two sisters will be separated from each other, Gisella said she will keep in touch with Michelle.

“It’s another chapter in my life,” Gisella said. “Even though I won’t see her as much, I can still talk to her on the phone. It will definitely be a different experience without her.” The two sisters appreciated the time they were students together at METC for six months, from August 2017 to January 2018. Michelle was the first sister to arrive at METC in June 2017, beginning her classes in the pharmacy program. Two months later, Gisella arrived at the campus to start her training in the METC radiology program. Michelle found out that her older sister would be joining her at METC during a phone call with Gisella, who was finishing up basic training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. “I was pretty excited,” Michelle said. “When she told me, I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t think it would happen at all.” Even though they lived in separate dorms, being on the same campus

H i s t o r y

gave the sisters the opportunity to visit whether it was during class breaks, lunch or dinner and talk about things that were going on in their lives, including their classes. “I usually see her at least once a day during break time,” Michelle said. “If not, we usually hang out after school and we get lunch or dinner together. We just talk basically about everything. We’re sisters, there’s really no limits to our conversations.” Gisella said her younger sister was able to provide emotional support for her when she needed it. “It’s been a relief not being alone, just having a family member close by and talk to whenever you want to,” Gisella said. “To actually have her here has been really great.” Michelle said being with her older sister allowed her to de-stress from classes and go out on weekends, including seeing the sights in San Antonio, shopping and eating out. The sisters, who were born in the Bronx, New York City and grew up in New Jersey, were raised in a close-knit family of four children by their parents Rita and Jorge Panchana, who came from Ecuador. “Having her here at METC has just brought us even closer together,” Michelle said. Since they are close, the sisters seek advice from each other at times. “I usually tell her everything that goes on,” Michelle said. “If I have any problems, I will go to her and she does the same thing with me, as well.” The two sisters and their younger brother George are the first members in their family to join the military. Their younger brother joined the Navy in early January. Before each of the sisters joined the military, they discussed the idea with

M o n t h

each other. Gisella was the first one to explore the option of joining the service after going to college and earning a degree in graphic design. “I actually researched all the military branches and chose what I thought was the best for me,” she said. “I just wanted something new in life. I kind of felt stuck at a point in my life and I thought, ‘Why not?’ They have great opportunities, so I decided to join.” Michelle said her older sister inspired her to join the military. “She started talking about joining the military way before I even thought about joining it as well,” she said. “We talked about it amongst ourselves for quite a time.” Michelle decided to enlist in the Navy after going to nursing school for two semesters. She said the Navy offers more medical programs and opportunities for her. Michelle is training to become a pharmacy technician. The sisters look up to each other. “I definitely look up to her because she is a character,” said Gisella about her younger sister. “She puts herself out there and that’s what I’ve always wanted to do. She’s not afraid of anything.” “I’ve learned how strong she can be whenever she is in a tough situation,” Michelle said about her older sister. “Seeing her overcome obstacles in her life, it has made me want to be a stronger person, as well.” Michelle is set to graduate from the METC pharmacy program in April. She said it will be hard to see her older sister leave and not have her around at METC. “I’m very sad she is going to leave first because we are just so use to having each other here,” Michelle said. “It’s going to be a little different now.”

Navy Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (COOL), which funds certification exams for eligible Sailors, coordinated with the NTMPS and

JST program to ensure Sailors’ civilian credentials were being accurately reflected in FLTMPS and the Sailors’ ETJs. The change aligns with Sailor 2025 initiatives to improve fleet manning. The availability of credentialing data in NTMPS, FLTMPS and the ETJ will allow Sailors to seek compatible billets or duties based on their earned credentials. The data will also allow leadership to readily seek well-qualified Sailors to fill billets or duties.

“This is a big win for both our Sailors and for Sailor 2025,” COOL’s Director Keith Boring said. “Not having the credential data available would have hampered future goals of finding Sailors with compat ible credentials to fill other positions or move to other enlisted ratings. Now that the data is flowing, credentialing data can be made readily available for Sailor and leadership detailing decisions.” Boring added that promotion and officer boards will be able to utilize NTMPS,

FLTMPS and ETJ credentialing data to assist in board decisions. “This new process of automated integration is just awesome,” said HMCS Fernandel Bardouille, senior enlisted leader at Navy Aerospace Medical Institute. “In the past, it was very inefficient and difficult for Sailors to ensure their data was accurately reflected.” COOL provides active duty and Reserve Sailors, whether forward deployed, underway or ashore, a way to map their Navy education, training, experience and competencies to civilian credentials and occupations. It also allows Sailors to pursue credentials throughout their military life cycle, from completion of

technical training until they become eligible for transition opportunities. Navy COOL is located with the Center for Information Warfare Training, which delivers trained information warfare professionals to the Navy and joint services, enabling optimal performance of information warfare across the full spectrum of military operations.

Navy submits 30-Year Ship Acquisition Plan From Navy Office of Information

WASHINGTON (NNS) – The Department of the Navy submitted the long-range ship acquisition plan to Congress Feb. 12. The 30-Year Ship Acquisition Plan is a Congressionally-mandated report which describes the Department of the Navy’s (DoN) long-range shipbuilding plans for 2019 through 2048. This year’s report focuses on meeting the Navy’s baseline acquisition requirements needed to build the Navy the Nation Needs (NNN) and sustaining the domestic industrial base to meet that aim.

In support of the National Defense Strategy’s stated goal of achieving a more lethal, resilient and agile force, the plan serves as a roadmap to reach a 355-ship fleet by the early FY2050s, potentially quicker with an aggressive investment of resources. The plan pursues acquisition strategies to build ships more quickly and affordably and places top priority on sustaining the industrial base now and for the future. Ultimately, the plan supports the Navy’s overall effort to build the Navy the Nation Needs to protect the homeland, defend the interests of America and its allies abroad, and preserve America’s stra-

NASWF’s Air Traffic Controller of the Year By Ens. Caroline Ready NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs Offices

N

AS Whiting Field (NASWF) recently announced AC1 Justin Kersch as the Vice Adm. Robert B. Pirie Naval Air Traffic Controller of the Year. Kersch is the North Tower Branch chief/NATOPS instructor, a title normally held by a chief petty officer. He maintained regulations to control tower operations, operational continuity between watch teams, qualified personnel to individual operation positions, recommended personnel for supervisory positions and provided technical assistance in the development of procedures. Kersch is also the Assistant Training Branch

Chief/NATOPS Evaluator. He established and maintained on-the-job training programs, developed local course material, visual aids and training scenarios and prepared tests to evaluate scheduled training. Kersch managed six Sailors who conducted the annual review of the facility manual, the Air Operations Manual and assisted with the rewrite of the NASWF Air Traffic Control Facility Manual. He led to the safe completion of

AC1 Justin Kersch

more than 167,000 flight operations and 6,000 ground controlled approaches and was directly responsible for 7,250 training hours which resulted in 13 Facility Watch Supervisor designations, 33 supervisor designations, 80 air traffic control position qualifications and an increase of staffing by 40 percent.

Kersch represented NASWF at the Command Navy Region Southeast level, where he will continue to the national level at Commander Navy Installations Command. Kersch was asked what advice he would give other Sailors. “First and foremost do what you are told,” he advised. “If you are assigned a task, get it done to the best of your ability. Additionally, you need to always stay engaged, make small goals and keep plugging away. Always keep your eye on the target.” The target for Kersch is not always recognition; growing as a Sailor under great leaders is what has truly benefited his career. “I just hope that I can do a good job at whatever task is assigned,” he said. “Making rank or getting awards is inconsequential. I just want to look back at the end of my ca-

reer and know that I tried my best.” Commanding Officer NAS Whiting Field Capt. Paul Bowdich recognized Kersch as a role model to emulate. “His loyalty, hands-on approach to mentorship and genuine concern for his shipmate’s quality of life, set the highest standards and are keeping with the true spirit of the NAS Whiting Field Team,” Bowdich said. “He continues to produce exceptional results across the spectrum and is an excellent example of one of the finest air traffic controllers the Navy has to offer.” The Vice Admiral Robert B. Pirie Naval Air Traffic Controller of the Year is “symbolic of the outstanding contributions to operational readiness and safety of flight made by individual Navy and Marine Corps air traffic controllers,” according to NAVAIR 0080T-114.

Black History Month event at NASWF ... Jawana Jackson from the

Selma House Museum returned to Naval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) Feb 13 once more to share her memories of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Artifacts and Dr. King-related items filled the foyer of the atrium onboard NASWF as Jackson shared stories of what it was like to be a child growing up around the influence of Dr. King, civil rights leaders and parents that were active supporters of the civil rights movement. The gathering began with an introduction of Jackson by director of the NASWF Diversity Committee, CPO Andrew McDougle. Jackson spoke to the audience and then opened the room for a question-and-answer period to learn more about her life and experiences with her father and Dr. King. She mentioned what Dr. King was like day to day, how Dr. King handled the stress of FBI surveillance and the challenge of remaining peaceful during such a crucial time in our country. Jackson was presented with flowers in appreciation for her efforts and time, and refreshments were served. She resides in Milton, but operates The Selma House Museum in Selma, Ala., which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage.

CNATT: Make Labor Day weekend safety a priority Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Public Affairs

The Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT) safety manager is reminding service members, civilian employees and their families to maintain safety awareness as they prepare for what is generally viewed as the end of summer. CNATTSafety Manager Krystal Hancock said that Labor Day, a federal holi-

day designed to honor the achievements of American workers, includes an extended weekend, with service members and their families often electing to travel to see family and friends. “Whether taking a long road trip or simply jumping in the car to run a quick errand, driving is inherently risky, and traffic mishaps continue to

be a leading reason for lost time, days, and lives across our force,” she said. Hancock said the National Safety Council (NSC) predicts this could be the deadliest Labor Day weekend for drivers in eight years, estimating that more than 430 people could be killed in traffic accidents throughout the Labor Day weekend. She added that service members, often sepa-

rated from their families and travelling significant distances to visit during the long weekend, should take some simple precautions before and during their trips. “Get enough rest before heading outsleepy driving is as dangerous as impaired driving,” she said. “Alternate drivers or take frequent breaks to ensure that whoever is behind the wheel stays alert.” See Labor Day on page 2

‘Be There’ for your shipmates during Suicide Prevention Month 2016 By James Rosenfelder U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery public affairs

NAS Pensacola to host 9/11 commemoration ceremony ... In commemoration of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, Naval Air Station Pensacola will present a ceremony at the National Naval Aviation Museum aboard the base at 10 a.m. Sept. 9. The event will include a guest speaker and a musical rendition from the NATTC Choir, a traditional “two-bell” ceremony, honors performed by the NASP Honor Guard and a 21-gun volley. The public is invited to attend.

Navy Medicine recognizes September as National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, which began Sept. 1. The theme for Suicide Prevention Month 2016 is “Be There.” Throughout the month, Navy Medicine will highlight the power of peer support and personal wellness, encouraging Sailors and Marines to be there for their shipmates. “Action starts with prevention,” said Vice Adm. Forrest Faison, Navy surgeon general and chief, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BuMed). “When a Sailor needs assistance, easy access to support resources and mental health treatment is essential, as is validation of help-seeking behaviors.” Suicide prevention is a yearlong effort. Suicide Prevention Month serves as a reminder that building resilience and preventing suicide requires all

members of the Navy and Marine Corps community to work together. Every life lost to suicide is one too many. “Take action if you notice anything

out of the ordinary for a shipmate; reach out to them,” Faison said. “If you are having difficulties, seek help if See Prevention on page 2

T

he 2018 Theme for National Women’s History Month is “Nevertheless, She Persisted: Honoring Women Who Fight All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.” Women’s History Month: A history. As recently as the 1970s, women’s history was virtually an unknown topic in the K through 12 curriculum or in general public consciousness. To address this situation, the Education Task Force of the Sonoma County (California) Commission on the Status of Women initiated a “Women’s History Week” celebration for 1978. The week of March 8, International Women’s Day, was chosen as the

focal point of the observance. The local Women’s History Week activities met with enthusiastic response, and dozens of schools planned special programs for Women’s History Week. More than 100 community women participated by doing special presentations in classrooms throughout the country and an annual “Real Woman” essay contest drew hundreds of entries. The finale for the week was a celebratory parade and program held in the center of downtown

Santa Rosa, Calif. Mobilizing a movement. In 1979, Molly Murphy MacGregor, a member of the group, was invited to participate in The Women’s History Institute at Sarah Lawrence College, which was chaired by noted historian Gerda Lerner and attended by the national leaders of organizations for women and girls.

tions within their own organizations, communities and school districts. They also agreed to support an effort to secure a “National Women’s History Week.” Presidential and Congressional support. The first steps toward success came in February 1980 when President Jimmy Carter issued the first presidential proclamation declaring the week of March 8, 1980 as National Women’s History Week. In the same year, U.S. Rep. Barbara Mikulski, who at the time was in the House of Representatives, and Sen. Orrin Hatch co-sponsored a congressional resolution for National Women’s History Week 1981. This co-sponsorship demonstrated the wide-ranging political support for recognizing, honoring, and celebrating the achievements of American women.

A national lobbying effort. As word spread rapidly across the nation, state departments of education encouraged celebrations of National Women’s History Week as an effective means to achieving equity goals within classrooms. Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Oregon, Alaska and other states developed and distributed curriculum materials for all of their public schools. Organizations sponsored essay contests and other special programs in their local areas. Within a few years, thousands of schools and communities were celebrating National Women’s History Week, supported and encouraged by resolutions from governors, city councils, school boards and the U.S. Congress. Each year, the dates of National Women’s History Week, (the week of March

8) changed and every year a new lobbying effort was needed. Yearly, a national effort that included thousands of individuals and hundreds of educational and women’s organizations was spearheaded by the National Women’s History Project. National Women’s History Month. By 1986, 14 states had already declared March as Women’s History Month. This momentum and state-by-state action was used as the rationale to lobby Congress to declare the entire month of March 1987 as National Women’s History Month. In 1987, Congress declared March as National Women’s History Month in perpetuity. A special presidential proclamation is issued every year which honors the extraordinary achievements of American women.

CIWT recognizes Civilians of the Quarter By MC2 Taylor Jackson Center for Information Warfare Training

T

he Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT) announced its 2017 fourth quarter Civilians of the Quarter (CoQ), Feb. 1. CIWT Commanding Officer Capt. Bill Lintz commended the awardees for their hard work and steadfast effort supporting the Navy’s training mission. He went on to say that selecting only one candidate in each category was extremely challenging, as all nominees clearly exceeded expectations in all assigned duties. CIWT selected Jeffery Galli, administrative officer for Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) Monterey, Calif., as supervisor CoQ; Steve Kase, director of facilities for IWTC San Diego, as non-supervisor CoQ; and Gerald Bailey, an instructor at IWTC San Diego, as its Civilian Instructor of the Quarter. Galli led IWTC Monterey’s administrative team to provide support to more than 550 staff and students. He led the completion of more than 700

command correspondence items, including 164 evaluations and fitness reports with zero rejections. Along with several other noteworthy accomplishments, Galli’s efforts measurably improved timeliness, accuracy and efficiency throughout the command. “I really appreciate the recognition,” Galli said. “The credit goes to the awesome admin team here whom I have the pleasure of working with, and the very cooperative IWTC Monterey staff.” Kase supervised four building monitor personnel and ensures that any discrepancies are handled in the most

efficient way possible. He routinely visited classrooms and office spaces to monitor equipment conditions and room temperature, enabling training to continue on schedule. He also created a command zone inspection in order to improve material readiness, a Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office standard operating procedure to ensure efficient use of assets, and a building monitor instruction to standardize staff contributions to the facilities mission. “I strive to go above and be-

yond each day to ensure our facilities provide the very best training environment for both staff and students,” Kase said. “Our IWTC San Diego team from the top down is nothing less than superb and is very supportive in all that I do.” As an training instructor and systems administrator, Bailey delivered 201 hours of instruction and lab demonstrations this quarter. He provided mentorship for both new and experienced instructors, and provided continuous feedback to students to ensure course objective comprehension. Additionally, Bailey worked with the facilities team to maintain connectivity of training networks, resulting in the repair of several classroom trouble calls with no loss of training

days. “This selection means the world to me, and I am humbled by the recognition,” Bailey said. “I have been working diligently for nine years and always keep the Sailors first. Proud to serve.” Center for Information Warfare Training delivers trained information warfare professionals to the Navy and joint services, enabling optimal performance of information warfare across the full spectrum of military operations.

Medieval festival returns

Costumed pirates celebrate during the 2015 Gulf Coast Renaissance Faire and Pirate Festival. Attendees are encouraged to dress for the fair. Photo by Mary Atkins

From www.gcrf.us The Gulf Coast Renaissance Faire and Pirate Festival (GCRFPF) returns to the Gulf Coast March 3 through 4 at the Santa Rosa County Fairgrounds. At GCRFPF, there are stages and performance areas set up for scheduled shows, such as plays in Shakespearean or commedia dell’arte tradition, as well as anachronistic audience participation comedy routines. Other performances will include dancers, magicians, musicians, jugglers and singers. Between the stages the streets, called “lanes,” will be lined with stores, known as “shoppes,” and stalls where independent vendors sell medieval and Renaissance themed handcrafts, clothing, books and artworks. There will be food and beverage vendors, as

well as game and ride areas. Games include basic skills events such as archery or axe-throwing as well as other games of skill. Rides are typically not machine powered; various animal rides and human-powered swings are common. Live animal displays and falconry exhibitions are also commonplace. GCRFPF includes a joust as the main attraction. In addition to the staged performances, a major attraction of GCRFPF is the crowds of actors – both professional and amateur – who play historical figures and roam the fair, interacting with visitors. Visitors are encouraged, but not required, to wear costumes, contributing to the illusion of an actual Renaissance environment. Many of the fair vendors sell costumes for all ages and types. The Renaissance fair subculture’s word

for these costumed guests is “playtrons,” a portmanteau of the words “patron” and “player,” and they add a second level of enjoyment to their experience by “getting into the act” as Renaissance Lords and Ladies, peasants, pirates, belly dancers or fantasy characters. Ticket prices to the fair are $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 12 to 5 and free for children ages 4 and younger. Tickets can be purchased online or at the gate. If you purchase tickets online, print your confirmation from PayPal and bring that confirmation receipt from PayPal to enter the gates. Tickets will not be mailed. The fair will be rain and shine 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both March 3 and 4. For more information and a full schedule of events and vendors, visit www.gcrf.us.
