Navy celebrates Earth Day through ‘Global Reach, Local Action’ From Chief of Naval Operations Energy and Environmental Readiness Division Public Affairs

WASHINGTON (NNS) – Navy commands across the globe celebrated Earth Day April 22 and throughout the month of April by participating in local activities that showcase their ongoing commitment to the environment as they support the Navy’s national security mission. Earth Day, which was first celebrated in April of 1970, began as a grassroots movement that raised public awareness of the fragility of natural ecosystems and encouraged people to make individual commitments to protect the planet. The Navy’s 2014 theme for Earth Day, “Global Reach, Local Action,” reminds Sailors, civilians, and family members that as a result of the Navy’s global presence, they have many opportunities to make positive changes for the environment and for energy use in their communities. “The Navy began installing equipment on our ships to safely manage our waste stream at sea and protect the environment over 30 years ago, and our bases have developed robust programs to protect natural resources and keep the air, water and soil clean,” said Rear Adm. Kevin Slates, director of the Chief

of Naval Operations Energy and Environmental Readiness Division (OpNav N45). “We’re also pursuing energy initiatives that focus on enhancing capability and resiliency, but many of those energy efforts also have a side benefit of being good for the environment. Earth Day is a prime time to let people know that we have taken and will continue to take our environmental stewardship responsibility seriously,” said Slates. Among the Earth Day-related activities planned or ongoing this year at naval commands are environmental presentations at local schools; exhibit events with government agencies and non-governmental organizations; 5K runs; beach clean-ups; energy awareness training/competitions; recycling events; solar power demos; environmental fairs and facility nature tours; and tree plantings. Earth Day activities were carried out onboard NAS Pensacola throughout the week. April 18 was all about energy conservation and keeping things au natural during a farmers’ market event at the NEX Corry Mall. Officials from local utility company Gulf Power and the Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA) hosted energy efficiency workshops, and local vendors had handmade jewelry, natural lotions and hand knitted accessories on display for sale.

NHP CO Capt. Padden discusses Urgent Care Center By Jason Bortz Naval Hospital Pensacola PAO

On June 1, the emergency room at Naval Hospital Pensacola (NHP) will be converted into an urgent care center (UCC). The UCC will be open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. for all TRICARE beneficiaries. Capt. Maureen Padden,

commanding officer, NHP, has served in the Navy for more than 26 years. She began her career in family medicine and has previously served as the executive officer for NHP. She holds an undergraduate degree in molecular biology from

the University of California at San Diego, a medical degree from the Uniformed Services University and a master’s in public health from the University of Washington. Why is the emergency room being converted to an urgent

care center? Navy Medicine, as a whole, looked at how it could align its resources to best meet the operational needs of the Navy, reduce costs and optimize its limited resources to provide the best care to beneficiaries. The relatively low patient volume at our ER coupled with our improved access to care within our Medical Home Port Teams lead to

Rear Adm. Michael S. White, commander, Naval Education and Training Command (NETC), made his first official visit to the Center for Information Dominance (CID) April 9. White, who recently assumed command of NETC, is traveling to Navy Learning Centers throughout the NETC domain to learn first hand about the training being delivered to the fleet. Located only two miles from NAS Pensacola, where NETC is based, CID is one of the earliest learning centers White visited. Based at NASP Corry Station, CID is the Navy’s learning center that leads, manages and delivers Navy and joint forces training in information operations, information warfare, information technology,

CID oversees the development and administration of 202 courses at four commands, two detachments, and 14 learning sites throughout the United States and Japan. CID provides training for approximately 24,000 members of the U.S. armed services and allied forces each year. Following a short presentation from CID Commanding Officer Capt. Susan K. Cerovsky on the overall mission and scope of CID, White visited two classrooms and a lab at CID Unit Corry Station. While there, he received briefs from several instructors including: Ship’s Signal Exploitation Equipment Increment “F” Maintenance Course supervisor and retired master chief petty officer and CID Civilian of the Year Tom Priest; Joint Cyber Analysis Course

Beneficiaries can now make appointments with their primary care manager or Medical Home Port Team more efficiently than ever at Naval Hospital Pensacola, usually on the same day. We also have three excellent civilian hospitals with ERs in the Pensacola area that will

be able to provide emergency care to our beneficiaries. What kind of care will be provided at the UCC? The UCC will provide acute or urgent needs care such as minor lacerations or injuries, fevers, colds, sore throat and other basic healthcare. The care provided at the

Transferring your Post-9/11 GI Bill By MC1 Elliott Fabrizio Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

Serve 36 months in the Navy, and get 36 months of education benefits: in-state tuition, housing stipend, books – the whole shebang. Earning the Post-9/11 GI Bill benefit is automatic, but giving it away requires planning and action. There are several critical rules to follow to properly transfer your educational benefits, and this article will explain the exact steps, but first, it’s worth noting that transferring the GI Bill can also be understood as “sharing” the benefit and gives the benefit a lot of fluidity. Here are some hypothetical examples of ways you can share this benefit: • You can transfer your Post-9/11 GI Bill to your child. •You can have another child and transfer half the benefit to your new child, so they each have 18

BRITE’s visit to Pensacola was sponsored by the NASP Public Works Department. Ongoing events at the NASP NEX Aviation Plaza featured demonstrations by Compass Solar Energy demonstrations as well as the Navy Exchange (NEX) “Recycle Wars.” This competition for NEX associates, featured recycled material, highlighting the ability to be reused into something useful. The week’s events also showcased the Tree of Pledges, allowing patrons and associates to write their pledge to “Go Green” on a leaf cutout and tape it to a tree made of PVC.

an idea of what is possible. Picture your 36 months of Post-9/11 GI Bill benefit as three dozen eggs, and when you transfer your benefit, you’re free to divide those “eggs” among your dependent’s (or your own) baskets as you see fit, with the option to redistribute as your circumstances change. None of this flexibility, however, is part of the standard package.

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

Owens, 19, of Frenchville, Penn., on assembling new Ethernet cables. Owens showed White how to make a new cable by deciphering the wiring scheme and attaching an RJ-45 connector to each end of the cable. Owens said he was honored to meet White, and that he never expected to meet an admiral, let alone have a one-on-one conversation with one. Owens said he was pleasantly surprised that White was genuinely interested in the work he and his classmates were doing in the IT lab, and to have the opportunity to show off some of his newly-acquired technical skills. “It was a really cool experience to be able to show Rear Adm. White how to make a cable,” Owens said. “It was neat to be able to show someone besides an instructor or fellow student what I’ve been learning in IT ‘A’ school.” Most of the students White spoke with at the IT lab were new accessions, or Sailors who only a few weeks earlier were attending boot camp at Recruit Training Command Great Lakes, Ill.

White said he was impressed by the quality and speed of these students as they make the transformation from recruits to fullfledged information systems technicians, and he gave the credit for that transformation to the dedicated and talented CID instructors. “The quality of the instructors just amazes me,” White said. “That they are able to mold these young men and women into productive IDC Sailors in such a short time speaks volumes to their quality.” After five months of intense training at CID this class of IT “A” school students will join the fleet later this summer as the newest crop of cyber warriors within the Information Dominance Corps (IDC). “Their motivation energizes me every day,” White said. “CID is clearly an incredibly professional organization that’s building the future of our fleet.

members, then it’s time to submit an application to transfer your Post-9/11 GI Bill benefit. Once you complete the process to transfer the benefit one time, you will not need to reapply or reenlist to redistribute your 36 months between your dependents and yourself, or add additional eligible dependents. However, you can’t add additional dependents after separating from service, hence the recommendation to assign one month to each eligible dependent. You may redistribute or revoke these benefits from your dependents at any time by accessing the MilConnect website.

Let me give you some advice about ‘college talk’ By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist

t’s college decision time, but before parents of high school seniors engage each other in conversation, take heed. You are about to step into a veritable quagmire of double entendre regarding the seemingly innocuous topic of your child’s college pick. One might think that discussing college decisions are as simple as: Parent No. 1: “What college will your son/daughter attend in the fall?” Parent No. 2: “He/She will attend XYZ University.” Parent No. 1: “Oh, that’s swell.” But, beware. Hidden beneath this rudimentary exchange is a underground strata of complex connotations and confidential context. How do I, a parent of a high school senior, know this already? During our last few tours of duty, my family has had many “empty nesters” as neighbors in military base housing. I have found that there is much to be learned by observing this unique breed of parent. No, they don’t collect twigs, preen their feathers, or engage

How to submit a commentary

in elaborate mating rituals ... well, not that I know of, anyway. But, empty nesters have “been there, done that” when it comes to parenting. Interacting with these veterans around backyard fire pits and at the dog park has taught me that some things in life are not as simple as they seem. In order to help other parents, like myself, who will soon be expected to tell friends, relatives and colleagues about their children’s college picks, I will pass on the college talk tips I have gleaned from more experienced parents. Most importantly, when people ask, “What college did Little Suzie decide to go to?,” they really want to know, “Did she get any rejection letters?” And when you answer, “Little Suzie is going to State,” they are tabulating all prior conver-

In order to diffuse their natural curiosity, it’s best to be frank. Tell them which schools, if any, declined to ac-

cept your child’s application for enrollment. However, do not be tempted to add, “We’re actually happy that Little Johnny didn’t get into Ivy U, it just wasn’t the right fit for him.” The listener will only hear, “Little Johnny’s Ds in chemistry came back to bite him, and besides, those Ivy Leaguers are so stuck up.” Also, although it is considered gauche for friends to discuss money matters in the civilian world, talking about personal finances is quite common in the military community. Thanks to clearly defined rank structures, we military folks know each other’s pay grade. Regardless, be careful when discussing college expenses with friends and neighbors. As soon as they find out that your child’s college costs upwards of $50,000 a year or more, they will wonder how on earth you’re going to pay for it. You may wish to remain silent, and let them speculate that your child was offered a scholarship for some hidden talent like didgeridoo playing or curling. In a vacuum of information, your friends might think that you’ve got some long lost rich great uncle who graced you with a gazillion dollar trust fund, but this

might be hard to believe if you drive a used minivan and buy buns from the day-old rack at the commissary. Or, they might guess that your family’s heritage includes a recruitable ethnicity, like the long lost peoples of the Siberian Pot Belly Tribe. But most likely, unless you tell your friends and family that you are paying for college with the GI Bill, loans, your Thrift Savings Plans, or your 529 plans; they’re going to think that you’re planning to sell your earthly possessions, take the night shift at the local 7-11, and move the family into a cardboard box over a heating grate in order to pay for college. Most parents have faced or will face the daunting college application process, and as long as you deliver the news of your child’s decision without pretense, you will be met with understanding. Honesty is clearly the best policy to stop wondering minds from wandering to the absurd. My child? He was rejected from two (stuck up) schools and accepted by six (fine academic institutions). He has decided to go to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y. We are using the GI Bill. And yes, it’s really swell.

Navy VolEd seeks Sailors’ success stories By Susan D. Henson Center for Personal and Professional Development PAO

IRGINIA BEACH, Va. – The birthday of Navy Voluntary Education (VolEd) is May 14, and the Center for Personal and Professional Development (CPPD) is asking in advance for Sailors’ help in celebrating 40 years of their educational successes. “We are looking for current and former Sailors to share their successes as a result of using Navy VolEd programs,” said CPPD Commanding Officer Capt. John Newcomer. “Throughout my career, I’ve seen many, many Sailors achieve incredible things as a result of VolEd programs. We want to give Sailors a chance to share those successes and also inspire other Sailors to achieve

their own educational goals.” VolEd programs include Tuition Assistance, Navy College Program for Afloat College Education (NCPACE), and United Services Military Apprenticeship Program (USMAP), for example. Through the month of May, submitted photos and stories will be posted on CPPD’s Facebook and Twitter pages, along with the hashtags #NavyVolEd

#My5Words. Former and current Sailors who agree to their photo being used in social media for this celebration should follow these directions: • Decide what five words state how your participation in Navy Voluntary Education has helped you succeed. • Write those five words clearly on a piece of paper (at least 8” x 10” in size). • Take a photo of you holding the sign with your five words. (Your face and sign must be in focus with no CACs/ badges/ classified or sensitive information showing. Consider if a particular background setting in the photo can help tell your success story – ship or sub bridge, operational/expeditionary setting, aircraft/flight deck, a flight line, pierside, operating room, etc.) • E-mail it to CPPDFeedback @navy.mil by May 30 along with the following information,

NETC FORCM Jon Port shares “five words” in a screen grab from Facebook.

which is helpful, but not mandatory: name, former/current rating, number of years in the Navy, degree / USMAP certificate achieved (AA, MS in Ed., PhD in ... ), current job title and any other information.

May 1 through 31, CPPD will post photos, along with each person’s name, rank and/or what they accomplished and the hashtags #NavyVolEd #My5 Words. “We’ll also be inviting Sailors to share their own five words of success in their personal social media accounts in May using the #NavyVolEd #My5Words hashtags in their posts,” said Newcomer. “We’re looking forward to everyone joining in our Navywide celebration. I’m already thinking about my own five words.” For questions about the VOLED celebration, contact CPPD at CPPDFeedback @navy.mil or (757) 492-5642 (DSN 492).

Navy’s underwater archaeologists dive headfirst into naval history From Naval History and Heritage Command

WASHINGTON – It was a simple pottery jar with cork in it. But when the team from the Underwater Archaeology Branch (UAB) of the Naval History and Heritage Command eased the cork out of it, the air that came out was nearly 200 years old, perhaps created by the organic material it had stored on the sloop-rigged floating battery Scorpion before it was scuttled Aug. 22, 1814. Dr. Robert S. Neyland, director of the Underwater Archeology Branch (UAB) of the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) in Washington, D.C., doesn’t always get to work in such rarified air, but that was just one of many remarkable moments of his career in managing one of the lesser known, but widest-reaching organizations in the Navy. The branch headquarters and laboratory are tucked away in the many historic buildings at the Washington Navy Yard. And just like the shipwrecks the branch monitors and manages, it takes a map and a little inside knowledge to find them. But within its offices are the people who conserve and protect the more than 17,000 ship and aircraft wrecks around the world, its collection of more than 3,000 artifacts recovered from sunken military craft sites, and an artifact loan program of 6,000-plus items to national and international museums and other qualified facilities throughout the world. The branch itself was created in 1993 through the Department of Defense Legacy Resource Management Program funds. Neyland followed soon after. Neyland, a native of Palestine, Texas, earned his doctorate and master’s degrees in anthropology through the Department of

Anthropology, Nautical Archaeology Program at Texas A&M in 1996 and 1994, respectively. His Navy work has taken him to dives on Revolutionary War ships in Maine, surveys of World War II wrecks off the beaches of Normandy, France, and rare downed aircraft under the waves off the Marshall Islands. He’s led the Navy archaeology team seeking the resting site of World War II submarine USS Pompano, which sank somewhere off the coast of Japan. Diving for archaeology, however, isn’t always in pristine recreational areas such as the waters of the Caribbean or Mediterranean seas. “The visibility for diving isn’t that

great in harbors and rivers,” Neyland said. “But we dive where the wrecks are.” Protecting underwater grave sites: Diving into the murky waters of rivers can be as cloudy as navigating government regulation. That’s why one of UAB’s responsibilities includes arranging for permitting authority for the Department of the Navy under the 2004 Sunken Military Craft Act (SMCA). The SMCA was enacted to protect sunken ship and aircraft wrecks, which represent a collection of more than 17,000 fragile, non-renewable artifacts that often serve as war graves, safeguard state secrets, carry environmental and safety hazards such as oil and ordnance, and hold significant historical value.

Neyland said there is a fair expectation by the public that the Navy will look after theses wrecks as archeological sites and as war graves. “Laws and ethics do not keep up with the advances in technology that allow for deeper dives and locating wrecks and the Navy’s wrecks are no longer protected by immersion in the marine environment,” Neyland said. “In many ways, these are like undiscovered islands, but which are already titled as U.S. property and are distributed worldwide.” But with those remains may also lay environmental issues still buried with the wreck, such as oil, ordnance and weapon systems better left to experts rather than civilian divers. The UAB works with numerous other Navy commands to recover or protect Navy artifacts, like the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units, Seabees, Judge Advocate General Corps and Naval Criminal Investigative Service. And as for that 1814 air from that pottery jar from USS Scorpion, remnants were captured and stored for future examination into what that jar might have held as part of the Chesapeake Bay Flotilla sunk in the Patuxent River during the War of 1812. “These military wrecks are also a means of interpreting the history of the services. Other benefits to DoD also include public education, particularly as awareness pertains to the history and mission of the services and the role the military plays in the past, present and future in protecting the country,” Neyland said. “Discovery of a military wreck – in the case of the missing-in-actions, the resolution for family members – captures the public’s imagination and raises that awareness. This occurs in the process of complying with our management mandate.”

‘My darkest hour:’ Emergency liver transplant highlights Donor Awareness Month By Ens. Joshua Faulkner Naval Hospital Pensacola Registered Nurse

pril is Donor Awareness Month and the following is my account of how a donor forever changed my family. The minutes seemed like hours as my mind and body were finally succumbing to all that was happening. The reality that my son was closer to death than life had finally set in and the enormity of the moment seemed to sit directly on my chest like a heavy weight. How had this happened? Just six days earlier, life was totally normal and the thought that my 14-year-old son Trenton would soon be fighting for his life had never crossed my mind. He had complained of a mild stomach ache that weekend, but by Monday morning he was up and ready for school. Halfway into the school day I received his text, “Dad, my eyes are yellow.” Being a registered nurse, I immediately drove to the school knowing that if this was true, a trip to Naval Hospital Pensacola’s (NHP) emergency room would be required. As he walked into the front office, the yellow hue of his eyes was obvious. The lab work revealed that his liver was not working correctly. His liver enzymes were elevated and the many functions of the body sustained by

the liver were reflecting its weakened state. Knowing the potential for complications, NHP immediately transferred him to one of the local hospitals to ensure that the potential services that may be required would be available. I didn’t know it then, but this was just one of many time critical decisions that allowed my son to have a chance to fight for his life. After two days it became apparent that Trent’s condition was not improving. The medical team felt it was now necessary to airlift Trent to a children’s hospital in Atlanta. They informed us that he would be admitted into the transplant unit. I believe this was the first time the full severity of the situation truly dawned on us as a family. For two more days we sat with Trent hoping for the best, but were helpless to watch as his condition continued to deteriorate. He slept more and more, his skin yellow and swollen from the toxins accumulating in his body. Finally, the doctors entered Trent’s hospital room and told us that the

Trenton Faulkner, 14, is surrounded by his family, including his father Ens. Joshua Faulkner, a registered nurse at Naval Hospital Pensacola, as he waits for a liver donation late in 2013. A donor match was found and Trenton made a full recovery. Joshua shared his son’s story to raise awareness on the impact donors can have.

damage to his liver had reached a point of no return and that without an immediate transplant, he would die. I looked at Trent as the doctors exited the room, and for the first time I saw fear. I asked the obvious, “Are you scared?” That little acknowledgement of what he was feeling was all it took for him to finally release the tears that he was fighting so hard to hold back. My wife and I cried with him, and I struggled to mutter the words, “It’s going to be OK.” I wanted to do nothing more in that moment than to be able to take away his fear and ease

his heart, but I could not think of the proper words to comfort my son. About 12 hours later, the doctors came with the first good news we had heard all week. They informed us that they had been contacted with a potential donor match and that a team of doctors was already in route to assess the donor liver to ensure that it would be a viable organ for Trent. I cannot describe the feelings that I felt in that moment. I felt a sense of relief and hope for sure knowing that my son would have a chance to survive, but I also felt a very real

awareness that somewhere someone had lost their life. A family had made a difficult decision to donate life while grieving the loss of their loved one. The minutes seemed like hours. Finally at 3 a.m., the ICU nurse came to tell us that the liver had arrived, and they would be wheeling Trent to the operating room. After six hours from the beginning of the procedure, the surgeon walked into the waiting room still wearing his scrubs. He slowly pulled up a nearby chair and sat down in front of my family. My heart was in my throat as we waited for him to give us the news. “It went great,” he explained. “Everything worked out perfectly.” Sitting at home now, some five months post-transplant, the enormity of the gift given to my family by our donor family becomes more evident daily. Every memory made and cherished by each of us with Trent is a blessing, granted by someone’s decision to donate life. I have since watched Trent return to school, play with his sisters and begin playing baseball. I don’t know if I could ever express in words how much these moments mean to me, or how appreciative I will forever be to my son’s donor and their family.

SAAM proclamation signed at NASWF By Jay Cope NASWF PAO

ith the arrival of April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), it is time to turn attention to the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program and its efforts to provide ready avenues to support victims of sexual assaults and enhance the knowledge about these programs throughout the base and tenant commands. With this year’s theme of “Live Our Values: Step Up to Stop Sexual Assault,” the Department of Defense is emphasizing the need to provide a vital, beneficial, and immediate response to aid survivors of sexual assaults. Programs that support this mission have support from the highest levels of the Navy command structure, and the local chain-ofcommands are responsible for providing an environment of trust, professionalism and caring that is intolerant of any form of sexual misconduct. “We’ve created changes in our reporting, investigative, and adjudicative procedures – changes which have earned critical trust and resulted in increased reporting, which deepen our understanding. No one should serve in fear. Together we will work to protect victims of sexual assault and hold perpetrators appropriately accountable,” Rear Adm. Sean Buck, director, 21st Century Sailor Office, stated in a recent news interview. Naval Air Station Whiting Field’s SAPR team takes such responsibilities

seriously, and worked aggressively to create an effective and flexible program to meet these challenges. Consisting of Kristen Klein, the Command Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC), and Jennifer Walker, the civilian victims advocate (VA), as well as nearly two dozen other VAs; the team works with the chain-of-command and the Fleet and Family Support Center to ensure NAS Whiting Field can respond in the event of a sexual assault. Within the past five weeks, the team has doubled the size of its VA force and coordinated a simulated response with the Branch Naval Health Clinic to ensure the capability is in place to provide support to the victim. Victim advocates provide sexual assault victims essential non-clinical support and information on available options and resources, and also maintain communication and contact with the victim as needed for continued victim support. The NAS Whiting Field VAs maintain a 24/7 on call watch

rotation and are called in immediately if an assault occurs. Klein and Walker coordinated a week-long course March 10 to 14, which enabled the nine graduates to increase the pool of VAs to 22. This volunteer force is large enough to both serve as a consistent first line of support as well as provide adequate coverage as service members transfer to other commands. Klein and Walker also set up a sexual assault response drill with the Navy Branch Health Clinic at NAS Whiting Field. The drill exercised the response procedures in place should a patient speak to a physician about having been sexually assaulted. Following the restricted report (a report initiated by the victim where they wish their anonymity to be maintained), a victim advocate was called in to assist the individual as were counselors and other support personnel. The drill ran successfully and spurred a host of questions from clinic staff who wished to learn more about the program and the procedures followed in other

types of situations. “We need these drills so we can improve in our responsibilities. We are fortunate in that we don’t get a lot of cases, so we need to be up to speed to give our victims the best care possible when it does happen,” Klein stated. The ability to respond to an event is only part of the program. The other half is to create a culture where sexual misconduct doesn’t happen in the first place. “We need to help create a climate where people feel free to step in if they see something happen,” Klein said. “Anyone could potentially see a situation start to develop, but to make the effort to stop it is the key.” To that end, Klein and Walker presented a dramatic production, “Can I Kiss You,” set up informational booths throughout April at various locations,

and held a SAAM proclamation signing ceremony. The sometimes funny, always candid, and imminently educational “Can I Kiss You” program was a hit as more than 280 service members attended the event. Nationally known speaker Mike Domitrz presented the seminar April 3 in the base auditorium. For more than 15 years, Domitrz has been inspiring audiences with his unique approach to healthier dating and communication. He teaches audience members how to ask for what they want. The show is about ensuring that everyone’s boundaries are respected. “Anytime we can bring in someone from the outside who is a professional speaker and deviates from the traditional types of training, it’s good,” Walker said. “It has a better chance to reach through to our Sailors.”

Reaching out to the Sailors is also why the SAPR team began setting up booths at locations such as the golf course, NEX, Subway, coffee shop, and more. They handed out information about support programs, important numbers to call, Navy guidelines, and so on. The goal is to increase knowledge about the programs, enhance the trust level between service members and the chain-of-command, and reinforce standards of conduct. As stated in the proclamation signed by NASWF CO Matthew Coughlin, “The underpinning of our entire program is the need for every service member and civilian alike to live the values of our profession; integrity, trust, respect, fidelity and courage. If we all ‘Live Our Values,’ it will naturally create an environment intolerant of sexual assault.”

for all you do – this month’s for you

ational Military Appreciation Month started as a simple idea: To gather America around its military family to honor, remember, recognize and appreciate those who have served and those now serving, and to know the history behind it all.

Pensacola Chamber MAM events Military Appreciation Month in May of each year promotes and improves quality of life for area military members in Escambia County. This initiative is an annual monthlong salute to the men and women who volunteer to serve our country in time of war and also provide for the largest economic engine in the community. The Pensacola Council of the U.S. Navy League has scheduled two events for Military Appreciation Month: • The Military Spouses Appreciation Luncheon is May 22 at New World Landing at 11:30 a.m. Contact Lynn Mott at 436-8552 or by emailing navyleagueofus@bellsouth.net if interested in attending. • The Enlisted Appreciation Breakfast is May 28 at Heritage Hall at 7:30 a.m. Contact Lynn Mott at 4368552 or by e-mailing navyleagueofus@bell south.net if interested in attending. Additionally, “local commands and military members will be honored at each Blue Wahoos home game throughout the month of May,” said Debi Panyko, manager, Armed Services, Pensacola Chamber Foundation.

From http://www.nmam.org/

This idea was then legislated twice to achieve greater national attention and recognition. The first legislation passed in the United States Senate in 1999 designating May as National Military Appreciation Month. With the support and sponsorship of Sen. John McCain of Arizona and Rep. Duncan Hunter of California and more than 50 veteran service organizations, this important and timely legislation tells service members that their country has set aside an entire month to honor, remember and appreciate them. In April 2004, more comprehensive legislation was passed by unanimous consent of Congress, that May is National Military Appreciation Month and urges the president to issue an annual proclamation calling on the American people to recognize this special month of May through appropriate ceremonies and events. The military has played a major role in the development of the country chronicled through unbending honor, dedication to duty and love of country. Unfortunately, it is common for many families to be neither aware of, or value and understand the service given by those in their own families, many of whom are of Tom Brokaw’s “Greatest Generation.” Schools no longer teach these military events that turned the course of history. Some people think we are slowly losing our connection to our own American history. Names such as Pearl Harbor, San Juan Hill, Civil War, Belleau Wood, Continental Army, 38th Parallel, Berlin Airlift, Tet Offensive and Normandy are rapidly losing their significance to the general American population, particularly our future generations – our youth. Because most holidays/observances commemorating historical military events have become little more than three-day weekends lacking focus on their original purpose, this month is needed to remind us of the sacrifices and the history we, as Americans, have been privileged to participate in throughout the past

“Whereas service in the armed forces entails special hazards and demands extraordinary sacrifices from service members and their families; “Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), that Congress — (1) supports the goals and objectives of a National Military Appreciation Month; and (2) urges the president to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States, all federal departments and agencies, states, localities, organizations and media to annually observe a National Military Appreciation Month with appropriate ceremonies and activities.” — 111th Congress, 1st Session, H.

Due to military deployments worldwide protecting national interests, Americans are being asked to serve. Employers are being asked to accommodate lengthy absences by key employees. The military represents the highest caliber of professionalism and technology. They are asked to willingly risk their lives on a moment’s notice; should Americans not willingly and openly recognize their contributions and their sacrifices as well?

Take steps to reduce stress during moving process From Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs

ILLINGTON, Tenn (NNS) – Planning ahead can be one of the biggest stress relievers when it comes to a permanent change of station (PCS) move, according to Fleet and Family Service Center (FFSC) officials. “Preparation, communication and family involvement are keys to a less stressful PCS move,” said Diane Brown, a FFSC work and family life specialist in Millington, Tenn. Sailors can use the “Plan My Move”

tool on the Military OneSource website at www.militaryonesource.mil to organize their move. It provides a three-month

calendar of steps a Sailor needs to take to ensure a smooth move. Brown says sponsors can also help reduce a Sailor’s stress by finding answers ahead of time to any questions they have about their new location. Sailors who have not been assigned a sponsor should contact their gaining unit, or they can request one on the Military OneSource website with the Electronic Sponsorship Application and Training tool. Sailors should also visit their local FFSC and meet with a relocation as-

sistance program specialist, then attend a Smooth Move class or Moving Overseas workshop to learn the basics about a PCS move and how to start the process. “It doesn’t matter whether it’s their first or fifth move,” Brown said. “Things change and one should be aware of those changes.” Here are some other helpful websites resources: • Housing Early Application Tool (HEAT): https://www.dko.mil/heat/ apply. • Housing Service Center locator: www.cnic.navy.mil/HousingQuick Reference. • To schedule your PCS move: www.move.mil For more news from Navy Personnel Command, visit www.navy.mil/

Time to toss a fish for fun By Janet Thomas Gosport Staff Writer

Watch out for flying fish this weekend. Known as “the Gulf Coast’s Greatest Beach Party,” the 30th annual Interstate Mullet Toss is a spring tradition at FloraBama Lounge, which sits on Alabama-Florida state line on Perdido Key. The event typically draws huge crowds. The torpedo-shaped fish are a local favorite. You will find fried, baked, broiled or smoked mullet on the menus of many local restaurants. There are numerous categories for contestants. Celebrity tossers will be featured at noon each day. Contestants fill out a registration form and pay a $15 entry fee to toss a mullet weighing approximately a pound. All tossers receive a mullet toss T-shirt. Top finishers get trophies and gift certificates. The rules are simple: No gloves or sand can be used when throwing. Contestants pick a mullet out of a bucket, and they have to retrieve the mullet and toss it back into the bucket after the throw. Mullet are thrown from a 10-foot circle down a designated alley. Each year, the event generates more than $20,000 in charitable donations. A contribution is made for each fish flung. And there is plenty of fun for spectators including beach games, live music and food. Parking is limited. There will be a $10 charge for parking in the beach lot. Bus serv-
