Region Southeast holds change of command ceremony From Navy Region Southeast Public Affairs

Commander, Navy Region Southeast (CNRSE) held a change of command ceremony onboard Naval Air Station Jacksonville in Florida Feb. 23.

During the ceremony, Rear Adm. Gary Mayes relieved Rear Adm. Babette “Bette” Bolivar as the region’s commander.

The time-honored ceremony marked an end to Bolivar’s leadership of the command that she has headed since February 2017.

CNRSE supports and guides 18 installations throughout the Southeastern United States and the Caribbean.

Vice Adm. Mary Jackson, commander, Navy Installations Command, served as the guest speaker for the ceremony. She presented Bolivar with the Legion of Merit for her performance of outstanding services and achievements.

“As we evolve from a shore integrator to a shore owner, each member of the CNIC team must relentlessly examine how we operate to support maximum operational readiness. Bette and the Navy Region Southeast team have, and continue, to deliver at the highest level to this standard,” Jackson said. “I have, and will always, admire your work and your tenacity. As a shipmate and a friend, you have done an exceptional job.”

Born in Hawaii and raised in various locations in the Western Pacific, Bolivar graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1985, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in oceanography. She later went on to earn a Master of Science degree in management from Troy University. In 1988, following her second tour, Bolivar was accepted to the Explosive Ordnance Disposal/Diving and Salvage Community as

A.C. Read Golf Course onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola Feb. 23.

A.C. Read Golf Course employee Steve Bobe noticed the downed owl nest on the golf course and contacted Wildlife Sanctuary of Northwest Florida Director Dorothy Kaufmann, informing the organization that one juvenile great horned owl had been recovered from the downed nest. Another owl, presumably a sibling of the rescued owl, was recovered near the downed nest, but was probably killed from the fall, Kaufmann said.

Bobe then transported the owl to the Wildlife Sanctuary of Northwest Florida, where Kaufmann examined the nestling. She determined the one-pound owlet, healthy and alert, could be re-nested, something the Wildlife Sanctuary of Northwest Florida has accomplished in the past.

“The Wildlife Sanctuary has had many successful re-nestings of juvenile owls, but it takes teamwork,” she said. “We have always had great teamwork everyone on the Navy bases, and with the help of Steve and the Fire Rescue team, we were able to renest the owl.

We couldn’t have asked for a better team.”

Kaufmann and Bobe assembled a makeshift nest for the juvenile owl, which was carried up an F&ESGC ladder to the tree from where the nest had presumably fallen. The nest was then securely fastened to the tree, See Owl rescue on page 2

Navy’s private drinking water Phase 1 initial sampling results near Saufley Field From NASP Public Affairs

The following update is provided as part of the Navy’s ongoing private drinking water testing and site inspection at Saufley Field for the emerging, national environmental issue of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).

• As of Feb. 13, 2019, the Navy has received 20 preliminary lab results from drinking water well sampling at private residences in the areas surrounding the western side of Saufley Field. Of the 20 preliminary results received, eight preliminary results are above Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lifetime health advisory level established for one of two specific PFAS, perfluorooctane sulfonate, PFOS and/or perfluorooctanoic acid, PFOA. • The Navy commenced Phase 2 of its drinking water sampling program along

the eastern boundary of Saufley Field on Feb. 15, 2019.

• The Navy commenced its drinking water sampling program for Naval Air Station Pensacola on Feb. 15, 2019.

The Navy is providing bottled drinking water to the owners of private drinking water wells with drinking water concentrations that exceed the EPA’s lifetime health advisory as we work to validate the data and develop a long-term solution.

The Navy will update property owners on their validated results. Out of respect for residents’ privacy, specific results will only be released by the Navy to the owner(s) of each individual well which was sampled.

The Navy continues to work directly with residents, community leaders and other federal, state and local agencies

on this important national issue and will keep the community informed while respecting the privacy of individual residents.

People in the sampling areas have been notified by letter and can arrange sampling at no cost to themselves by calling 4523131, ext. 3027. We encourage residents in the identified sampling area to have their wells sampled.

Updates and additional information on this project is available at https://www. cnic.navy.mil/regions/cnrse/installations/ nas_pensacola.html Project background: The Navy continues to investigate drinking water sources at Navy installations worldwide where PFAS are suspected – typically at locations with historic use of aqueous film forming foam (AFFF), a highly

Navy Region Northwest, as commander, Joint Region Marianas and then in her current position as commander, Navy Region Southeast.

Bolivar’s next assisgnment will be in San Diego, Calif., where she will take the helm of commander, Navy Region Southwest in March.

She thanked the installations, the community, and the Navy Region Southeast staff.

“It has been an absolute pleasure being part of this team,” Bolivar said. “The combination of our installations, tenant commands, other Department of Defense services, and governments and communities across our region enable us to execute CNIC’s mission to support the fleet, the fighter and the family. These are the can-do professionals who continue to make it happen for our region.”

Following the striking of Bollivar’s flag and the raising of Mayes’ flag, the new commander of Navy Region Southeast addressed his team for the first time.

“What an honor and a privilege it is for me to again assume the mantle of command in this great Navy,” Mayes said. “After spending the past few weeks with many of the professionals on the staff and the various commands that make up this region, I observed your infectios unity, your enthusiasm, your synergy of effort and I am happy to say I am absolutely thrilled and proud to be here serving alongside the men and women of Navy Region Southeast.”

Mayes graduated from Purdue University in 1987, earned his commissioned from Aviation Officer Candidate School in 1988, and was designated as a naval aviator in 1989.

He is familiar with the Jacksonville area having flown with Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light (HSL) 48 and 46. He served as the executive officer and commanding officer of HSL-44, and as the officer in charge of a combined East and West Coast HSL/Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) detachment of 16 helicopters conducting rescue and humanitarian relief missions in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

His previous flag assignments include commander, Navy Region Northwest and, most recently on the staff of the Deputy Chief of Naval Operatons for Fleet Readiness and Logistics.

National African-American History Month, also known as Black History month, is an annual celebration of achievements by AfricanAmericans in the struggle for freedom and a time for recognizing the central role this demographic has played in the history of the United States.

Since 1976, every U.S. President has officially designated the month of February as National African-American/Black History Month. The month originated in 1915 when noted historian and author Dr. Carter G. Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and Pensacola’s Roy Jones Jr. took photos with Sailors, including CMD- History. Through this organization, Woodson CM Mario Rivers at the Feb. 22 Black History Month Celebration. initiated the first Negro History Week in February 1926.

Kaufmann said the owlet’s mother will return.

“This is the best outcome you could ask for after a bad situation of a fallen nest,” Kaufmann said.

“The base’s concern for the local wildlife in Pensacola has always been outstanding, and I’m thankful they help out in situations such as this.”

Stable in population, the great horned owl, indigenous to North and South America, usually gravitates toward secondary-growth woodlands, swamps, orchards and agricultural areas. Although they generally adopt a nest built by another species, great horned owls line the nest with shreds of bark, leaves, and feathers.

The Wildlife Sanctuary of Northwest Florida is a non-profit organization which works to provide appropriate care to injured or orphaned indigenous wildlife, providing medical care and fostering during recovery and the rehabilitation and release of wildlife if possible. The organization works in cooperation with local, state and federal wildlife agencies. For more information, visit www.pensacolawildlife.com.

Navy renews focus on education

By MC2 Kashif Basharat All Hands Magazine The Navy announced today a Naval University System (NUS) that will overhaul the education of the fleet, ensuring a competitive advantage in the decades ahead.

The announcement came in the wake of a memorandum signed by the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) last week promulgating his decisions and immediate actions resulting from a landmark, seven-month Education for Seapower (E4S) study lead by Under Secretary of the Navy Thomas B. Modly.

The findings and recommendations of the study, captured in a December 2018 final report recently made available via the Navy’s website, identified the Department of the Navy’s strengths and weaknesses when it comes to Sailors’ and Marines’ academic education.

“We decided to take a comprehensive look at naval education on how to best educate our Sailors and Marines to sustain an advantage for our naval forces in respect to their minds,” Modly said recently in an interview on E4S. “We decided to assemble an outside group of leaders ... to conduct a top-to-bottom, clean-sheet review of naval education.”

The NUS will combine the United States Naval Academy, Naval War College, Marine Corps University, Naval Postgraduate School, the academic curricula of the Naval Reserve

Graphic from www.navy.mil

Officers’ Training Corps and service Officer Candidate Schools, federal executive fellowships, and all flag and general officer education into one united university system.

The new system will align and orchestrate the academic efforts and resources of all naval education activities, while also retaining the special characteristics and strengths of each institution, and enhancing overall agility and accountability. It will use a universal transcript system and institute a common strategic intent and

similar policies for admissions, instructor qualifications and faculty empowerment.

The chief of naval operations and commandant of the Marine Corps will also refine selection standards for top-level schools and war colleges, aiming for the top 30 percent of officers in terms of leadership, as well as operational and academic performance.

“This will help us create a much more agile fleet,” Modly said. “That’s ultimately going to be our differentiating strategic advantage. That goes from

what our ships can do ... how we work together between the Navy and the Marine Corps, and how our leaders think and how they react. This is not just about the individual, but how that individual will impact the organization.”

Another keystone of the NUS will be the establishment of a Naval Community College (NCC). The NCC will provide accredited associates’ degrees for enlisted Marines and Sailors in academic disciplines that advance lethality, partnership and reform.

“The idea is to get our enlisted service members an opportunity to get educational programs ... wherever they are,” Modly said. “We want to provide them with a system, whether it’s online learning or connections with local colleges in certain areas, to make it easier for them to advance their education.”

The new focus on education will also appear on evaluations. Both branches will utilize competitive grading criteria for educational and learning achievements on officer fitness reports and enlisted evaluations. This will ensure learning achievements are appropriately weighted when it comes to promotions. “(With the E4S study,) we’re finding that there was very little correlation between people who are getting advanced degrees and education with their promotion ranks,” Modly said.

“We want to see ... a direct

correlation, and then obviously it’ll bear itself out in terms of how prepared we are as a naval service. ... Education has not been considered a part of [the] readiness equation at a high enough level. ... What the study found is that’s shortsighted because at some point, if we don’t educate our people properly, it’s going to have a huge impact on readiness.”

A new N7/director of warfighting development will serve as the sole resource sponsor and strategic leader for Navy education within the office of the chief of naval operations (CNO). This director will serve alongside a Marine counterpart, the existing deputy commandant for combat development and integration, to refocus naval educational efforts on increased warfighting capacity.

A new chief learning officer (CLO) position will also be created. The CLO will act as a Department of the Navy advisor to the OPNAV and Marine Corps staff on all education matters.

In addition, a naval education board, comprising the under secretary of the Navy, the CNO, the commandant of the Marine Corps and the vice chief of naval operations, among others, will meet at least semi-annually to ensure the success of the NUS.

Pensacola’s Gen. Chappie James in combat: Wolf Pack’s first ‘Wolf 2’

By Robert Vanderpool 8th Fighter Wing/7th Air Force Historian

O

“

lds Lead, this is Ford. Four SAMS coming up at your 6 o’clock. Don’t break, they’re not guiding. I’m right behind you Chief. I’m covering your tail!” ViceCommander of the 8th Tactical Fighter Wing Col. Daniel James called this out over the radio as his group of fighter aircraft entered the engagement unfolding in the skies over North Vietnam.

At the time, James was leading the “Ford Flight” of F-4’s from the 8th TFW flying cover for the “Olds Flight,” led by wing commander Col. Robin Olds, during Operation Bolo.

Occurring Jan. 2, 1967, Operation Bolo was the largest single aerial fighter battle of the Vietnam War. During the battle, which lasted only 12 minutes, the 8 TFW destroyed seven North Vietnamese MiG-21s along with another two probable kills, all without the loss of a single aircraft.

James’ “Ford Flight” entered the battle just as the lead flight began to engage with the enemy MiG-21’s. While keeping an eye on the “Olds Flight,” James’ group spotted two MiG’s approaching from the front as another MiG snuck in behind the group targeting James’ F-4 from the rear. James executed a horizontal barrel roll managing to reverse positions and get in behind his attacker. James launched and an AIM-9 missile that the MiG barely evaded, however, during the attempt to avoid James’ salvo, the MiG’s maneuver placed it in front of James’ wingman who downed the aircraft with a missile strike.

Daniel “Chappie” James Jr. was born Feb. 11, 1920, in Pensacola, Fla. He grew up in Pensacola and attended Booker T. Washington High School graduating in 1937. Later that year, James began studies at the Tuskegee Institute located in Tuskegee, Ala. James earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education in 1942, at the same time completing a government sponsored civilian pilot training program. James remained at Tuskegee as a civilian instructor pilot in the Army Air Corps Aviation Cadet Program until January 1943 when he entered

the program as a cadet. James earned his pilots wings with the military and commission as a second lieutenant the following July.

When James and his classmates graduated from Tuskegee they anxiously awaited their first assignments passing the time conducting familiarization flights with P-39 Airacobra and P-40 Warhawk fighter planes at Tuskegee. He was particularly fond of the P-39. Standing at 6’4” and weighing more than 200 pounds, James was too big to fit in the cockpit of the P-39 while wearing a parachute.

Not to be dissuaded, he went against regulation and flew the plane without a parachute carefully hiding that fact from the Army Air Corps.

James’ first assignment after Tuskegee was with the 332nd Fighter Group at Selfridge Field, Mich. With a lingering desire to continue to fly the P-39, James was forced to transition to the P-40 and its larger cockpit after a direct order from his commanding officer to “Get out of that thing,” James remained within the continental United States for the duration of World War II serving at several different airfields across the country as an instructor training other pilots.

James first saw combat during the Korean War after arriving in Korea in August 1950.

Serving with the 18th Fighter Wing and flying the P-51 Mustang and later the F-80 Shooting Star, he flew a total of 101 combat missions over Korea.

With the 18 FW, James flew operations from airfields at Taegu, Pyongyang, Suwon, Chinhae, Pusan, and also from air fields in Japan. While in Korea, James also served for a 30-day period with front line troops as a forward air controller, calling in air

strikes to support ground forces.

His luck in the air would also take a turn for the worse a few weeks after returning to the cockpit during a close support ground attack mission against North Korean gun emplacements. James’ F-80 was hit by anti-aircraft fire, and he was forced to bail out of the stricken aircraft at 7,000 feet. James’ parachute landed behind enemy lines, but luckily he was picked up by a roving Marine Corps tank unit and immediately returned to friendly lines. James was back at his air base before nightfall, and he climbed into another F-80 flying an additional mission the same day he was shot down. James remained in Korea until December 1950.

Between the Korean War and Vietnam War, James served in a variety of staff and command positions in the United States and also during a three-year tour in England. James joined the 8 TFW in Thailand as deputy commander of operations in December 1966, assuming the role of vice-commander in June 1967. Known for his organizational skill, James was the perfect complement to the wing commander, Col. Robin Olds, who was known more for his operational aptitude. Both men were known for their strong work ethic, and they became the best of friends while working together in Thailand.

During his time with the 8 TFW, James flew a total of 78 combat missions. During one

mission flying the infamous Route Package IV, a flight route that fighter pilots dubbed “Downtown” due to it being the most heavily defended area of North Vietnam and included the communist capital city of Hanoi, James brought his F-4 back with 56 holes in the fuselage. After the conclusion of Operation Bolo, the 8 TFW adopted the nick-name, “Wolf Pack,” and its commander was given the nickname “Wolf,” a tradition the 8th Fighter Wing continues today. As vice-commander during Operation Bolo, James effectively became the 8 FW’s first “Wolf 2.”

Following his stint with the 8 TFW, James served as vicecommander of the 33rd TFW at Eglin AFB, Fla., until October 1969 when he assumed command of the 7272nd Training Wing at Wheelus Air Base in Libya. Shortly before James took command at Wheelus, a group of Libyan military officers perpetrated a coup d’état and ousted the existing government. Wheelus Air Field had been established by the United States following World War II. Initially, the U.S. government insisted that the new Libyan government honor existing agreements despite their protests, and several confrontations ensued as a result.

During one such confrontation, a group of Libyan halftracks refused to halt for guards at the base gate and entered the installation. James ar-

rived on scene and stood face to face with the new Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gaddafi. Gaddafi stood in front of James with his hand resting on his holstered .45 attempting to stare him down. James barked at Gaddafi, “Move your hand away from that gun!” and Gaddafi relented. James later commented: “I told him to move his hand away. If he had pulled that gun he would have never cleared his holster.”

After this incident, the Libyans never again attempted to enter Wheelus without permission. Determining that the strategic importance of Wheelus Air Field had waned, the U.S. willingly withdrew from the installation in June 1970 and James returned to the U.S. James received promotion to brigadier general in July 1970, serving in a variety of staff positions over the next four years.

On Sept. 1, 1975, James pinned on his fourth star becoming the first African-American to achieve the rank of full general in United States military history. James assumed command of NORAD and Aerospace Defense Command at Peterson AFB, Colorado, having responsibility for operational command of all U.S. and Canadian strategic aerospace defense forces. James’ last position with the Air Force was as Special Assistant to the Air Force Chief of Staff at the Pentagon. He retired from the Air Force Feb. 1, 1978.

3D printing: Civilian skills print a future

By MC1 Terah Bryant NORFOLK, Va. (NNS) – Three years ago, Lt. Jake Lunday’s wife bought him a 3D printer for Christmas. The first time it proved to be useful was when the family’s carpet cleaner broke. Instead of buying a new one, he was able to reverse engineer the part that failed, print a replacement, and install it – all within an hour. It was an event that not only secured support from his wife on his new hobby, it also was the beginning of a career shaping interest.

As a civilian, Lunday is a director of manufacturing engineering in the food and beverage industry and in the Navy Reserve, he is an engineering duty officer with the Deputy Chief of Naval Operation for Fleet Readiness and Logisitics. So, it was no surprise for his wife when her husband expressed interest in learning about 3D printing.

“It was meant to augment my small hobby machine shop in the garage,” Lunday said.

“However, it quickly became my preferred piece of equipment for projects.”

As a manufacturing engineer, Lunday has seen how additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, has begun to reshape the traditional ways of manufacturing.

“The technology brings the ability to rapid prototype, quickly deliver equipment repairs and improve designs,” Lunday said.

Lt. Jake Lunday, a reserve component Sailor attached to the Fleet Readiness and Logistics staff for the office of the Chief of Naval Operations, measures equipment susceptible to wear-and tear in the machine shop aboard the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69). Lunday visited the ship to assist in creating a database of 3D printable parts available for shipboard use. Photo by MCC Stephen Hickok

With his newfound skillset, Lunday decided to include the information online under his “My Civilian Skills” profile on the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System. The Navy Reserve saw the update and immediately wanted to put his skills to use. He has since taken orders to assist Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, and Naval Air Systems Command with 3D printing projects.

“I’ve been fortunate to be plugged into so many exciting projects,” Lunday said. “The civilian skillsets database definitely enabled me to provide support and I am grateful the Navy Reserve team is embrac-

ing the pairing of civilian skillsets with our military roles.”

Lt. Cmdr. James Tilden, the Navy Reserve assistant director for personnel policy, says over the past year the Navy Reserve has seen a large increase in demand from units requesting Sailors with specific skills.

Through the database of civilian skills, commands have been able to easily identify Reserve Sailors who have the needed skills and who are willing to step in and fill the role.

They have called up Sailors like Cmdr. Brian Hall, who works in cyber assessments in his civilian job and volunteered for orders assessing the cybersecurity of aircraft carriers, and Lt. Cmdr. Rob Liu,

who leveraged his background as a data scientist to lead in the development, planning, assessment and accountability efforts with the newly established Digital Warfare Office – a unique in-house capability that would normally need to be contracted out.

Whether an IT programmer, first responder, business owner or licensed professional, the Navy has long benefited from the civilian expertise of Reserve Sailors, according to Tilden.

“The My Civilian Skills site is an important part of continuing to develop the holistic way we retrieve critical civilian skills that can be leveraged toward a dynamic total force impact,” he said.

The desire to employ Reservists according to their expertise is a balancing act of sorts as DoD policy prohibits the involuntary mobilization or activation of Reserve Sailors based on civilian skills. But Tilden says the balance is necessary.

“The information is important because it delineates critical civilian skills that could be outside one’s rate or designator and may be essential in support of national disasters or civil unrest,” he said.

But for Lunday, he sees the Navy’s desire to account for the civilian expertise available in their midst as an opportunity to put his skills and interests to good use.

“The civilian skillset database is an incredible tool for Reservists to get plugged into active duty projects. I strongly recommend continuing to build this program since it provides incredible value to the Navy and provides great opportunities to the Sailors,” he said.

Navy Reserve Sailors can enter their civilian skills and expertise online on the Civilian Employment Information portal on NSIPS at https://nsipsprod-sdni.nmci.navy.mil. From the NSIPS Main Menu navigate to Electronic Service Record/Tasks/My Civilian Skills.

NASWF Sailor receives Margaret Flowers Civic Award for community involvement Story, photo

by Julie Ziegenhorn NAS Whiting Field PAO

T

he Pensacola Council of the Navy League presented the 2019 Margaret Flowers Civic Award to NAS Whiting Field PO1 Brian Clark at a luncheon Feb. 21. The award recognizes military members who contributed countless hours of volunteer time to local religious, civic, educational, fraternal and other service organizations, and whose work “greatly enhances the quality of life” in the communities in which they live and serve.

Clark is the NAS Whiting Field (NASWF) volunteer program coordinator, volunteering at 96 community service events, and giving back more than 533 hours with organizations such as Meals on Wheels, the Shepard House, and local Milton schools. As volunteer coordinator, he organized activities for 600 people from Whiting Field who participated in 69 different community events.

Through his efforts, eight new community service partnerships were formed with the installation. Clark is an Aviation Boatswains Mate (Handling) at NAS Whiting Field, where he supports Navy outlying landing field operations for the aviation training mission.

Twenty-two award nominees from local military units and bases including NAS Pensacola, Naval Air Technical Training Center,

Information Warfare Training Command at Corry Station, NAS Whiting Field, Marine Aviation Training Support Group 23, Naval Hospital Pensacola, U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Dauntless (WMEC 624), and the Air Force’s 479th Flying Training Group, among others, were honored at the luncheon that is held on Military Recognition Day each year in February.

“Petty Officer 1st Class Brian Clark epitomizes what it means to give back to the community,” Commanding Officer of NAS Whiting Field Capt. Paul Bowdich said. “His leadership with the volunteer program here at NAS Whiting Field is exemplary, and the Sailors who give their time back to the community, the local schools and charitable organizations make a tremendously positive impact in our local area.

PO1 Brian Clark stands with Margaret Flowers, namesake of the award that honors the military member for outstanding contributions to the community for the year. Clark won the prestigious award Feb. 21 in a luncheon sponsored by the Pensacola Council, Navy League of the United States.

“We’re very proud that Petty Officer Clark was recognized with the Margaret Flowers Civic Award – welldeserved!”

Numerous local businesses, civic organizations and representatives from Escambia and Santa Rosa counties presented Clark with certificates and gifts, including $1,000 from both Pen Air and Navy Federal Credit Unions.

Representatives from the state of Florida were also present at the luncheon, and presented Clark with various accolades for his contributions, including letters from Sen. Marco Rubio, Sen. Rick Scott and U.S. Rep. Matt

“Ms. Margaret Flowers paved the way for community service in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, and we all definitely strive to follow in her footsteps,” Clark said.

The award is named in honor of Margaret Flowers, a career civil service employee who was present at the luncheon. Her long and devoted record of service to the Navy and the community embody the true “esprit de corps of community and social involvement,” according to Pensacola Navy League representatives.

The National Women’s History Theme for 2019: Visionary Women: Champions of Peace & Nonviolence

March is Women’s History Month

From Molly Murphy MacGregor Executive director and co-founder of the National Women’s History Alliance https://nationalwomenshistoryalliance.org

T

he theme for 2019 is “Visionary Women: Champions of Peace & Nonviolence.”

This year we honor women who have led efforts to end war, violence, and injustice and pioneered the use of nonviolence to change society.

For generations, women have resolved conflicts in their homes, schools and communities. They have rejected violence as counterproductive and stressed the need to restore respect, establish justice, and reduce the causes of conflict as the surest way to peace. From legal defense and public education to direct action and civil disobedience, women have expanded the American tradition of using inclusive, democratic and active means to reduce violence, achieve peace and promote the common good.

From women’s rights and racial justice to disarmament and gun control, the drive for nonviolent change has been championed by visionary women. These women consciously built supportive, nonviolent alternatives and loving communities as well as advocating change. They have given voice to the unrepresented and hope to victims of violence and those who dream of a peaceful world.

As recently as the 1970s, women’s history was virtually an unknown topic in the K-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 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 our 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. When the participants learned about the success of the Sonoma County’s Women’s History Week celebration, they decided to initiate similar celebrations 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 Carter issued the first presidential proclamation declaring the week of March 8, 1980 as National Women’s History Week. In the same year, Representative Barbara Mikulski, who at the time was in the House of Representatives, and Senator 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 Wom-

en’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 Alliance.

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 rational 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.

Presidential message 1980: President Jimmy Carter’s Message to the nation designating March 2-8, 1980 as National Women’s History Week.

“From the first settlers who came to our

shores, from the first American Indian families who befriended them, men and women have worked together to build this nation. Too often the women were unsung and sometimes their contributions went unnoticed. But the achievements, leadership, courage, strength and love of the women who built America was as vital as that of the men whose names we know so well.

“I ask my fellow Americans to recognize this heritage with appropriate activities during National Women’s History Week, March 2-8, 1980.

“I urge libraries, schools, and community organizations to focus their observances on the leaders who struggled for equality – Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, Lucy Stone, Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Harriet Tubman, and Alice Paul.

“Understanding the true history of our country will help us to comprehend the need for full equality under the law for all our people.”

NAMI receives accreditation for RAM program Story, photo

by MC2 Michael Lieberknecht Navy Medicine Operational Training Centeer

N

aval Aerospace Medical Institute (NAMI) received an annual national accreditation for its Residency in Aerospace Medicine (RAM) program Feb. 4.

NAMI has received this qualification since 1957 from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), making this the command’s 62nd consecutive year.

“This stand-alone institution certifies our RAM program to provide aerospace graduate medical education,” Capt. Nathan Almond, RAM program director at NAMI said.

The RAM program was commended for substantial compliance with ACGME institutional requirements. Parts of this accreditation include curriculum reviews, compliance with standards for a positive clinical learning environment, milestone evaluations, and faculty and resident surveys which provide feedback.

Almond explained how the program’s long history of accreditation, spanning 349 graduates since RAM’s beginning, including 64 Army and 12 international residents, allows graduates to pursue further

qualifications.

“It allows our residency graduates to qualify for taking the aerospace medicine board specialty exam which designates them as certified aerospace medicine specialists,” Almond said.

Each member wishing to attend RAM must individually apply to the Joint Graduate Medical Education Selection Board, a competitive military application process. Once selected, they become eligible for training at NAMI and begin their residency which consists of two years of research, clinical rotations and attending a wide array of military and civilian courses, including graduate level studies, culminating in a Master’s Degree in Public Health from University of West Florida (UWF). Once completed, residents receive their certificate of residency from Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) signed by the Navy Surgeon General.

Capt. Nathan Almond, Residency in Aerospace Medicine (RAM) program director at Naval Aerospace Medical Institute (NAMI) displays his certificate of residency from 2011. NAMI has received an annual national accreditation for its RAM program qualification since 1957 from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), making this the command’s 62nd consecutive year.

“It’s a rigorous training program,” Almond said. “Graduates go on to become senior medical officers for aircraft carriers as well as marine aircraft group surgeons. The program must provide tough training for these future experts in operational medicine.”

Almond said that the RAM is the gold standard for operational medicine training.

“This is where physicians

come to turn into operational medicine experts,” Almond said. “No other program provides the expertise or preparedness needed for potential challenges at sea, undersea, in the air or on the battlefield.”

Almond added that for anyone who has any questions or is interested in applying for the RAM program, he can be contacted at nathaniel.b.almond. mil@mail.mil.

NAMI is a detachment of Navy Medicine Operational Training Center (NMOTC), whose mission is to provide operational medical and aviation survival training. NMOTC is part of the network of Navy medicine professionals who support Sailors and Marines worldwide, providing critical mission support aboard ships, in the air, under the sea and on the battlefield.
