NASP Security, Safety Office stress speed limits on base From Naval Air Station Pensacola Public Affairs
The Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola Security Department and Safety Office stressed the importance of observing posted speed limits during an NAS Pensacola Safety committee meeting April 17. NAS Pensacola Safety and Occupational Health Specialist Jane Bush said one of the chief safety issues onboard the largest facility in Commander, Navy Region Southeast (CNRSE) are drivers failing to adhere to the posted speed limits on the facility. “We are currently looking at different methods to control base speeding,” she said. “One method we currently use is speed display signs placed on base, which can
serve as visual reminders to drivers to slow down and follow speed laws.” The speed display signs are posted at areas on base which have a high volume of through traffic. These signs, operated through a radar speed sensing device, begin flashing the vehicle’s rate of speed when the posted speed limit is exceeded. Bush also said that violations of the air station’s speed limit policy can have severe repercussions, including a potential ban from operating a privately owned vehicle on the facility’s grounds. She stressed that NAS Pensacola Security department service members and civilian employees can and do issue tickets for speeding, Obeying NAS Pensacola’s posted See Speeding on page 2

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 biplane 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 one of the
Navy’s most modern fighter aircraft, the F/A18 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, 314 North Spring St., Suite A, Pensacola, Fla. 32501, in the interest of military and ci-
sacrifices to the country, and encouraged everyone to become the finest warfighters within their commands and respective branch of service. “Each of you volunteered to wear the cloth of this great country, and I thank every one of you for your sacrifices and dedicated service,” MacDonnell said. “We must always stay ahead in the great power competition, so while here training, learn everything you can to be the finest in your fields, but also balance your time to have fun.” In departing comments with Andrews, MacDonnell expressed how impressed he was of CIWT’s training initiatives and newest developments to deliver combat-ready warfighters to the fleet. “The CIWT team is truly passionate and persistent in pursuing and employing solutions to tough training challenges facing the services,” MacDonnell shared. “We have many more challenges ahead, and I’m confident your team is doing and will continue to do everything it can to meet and exceed the nation’s expectations for the Navy and all military branches.” For more news from Center for Information Warfare Training, visit www.navy.mil/local/cid. vilian personnel and their families aboard the Naval Air Station Pensacola, Saufley Field and Corry Station.

Alcohol awareness month: The facts about self-referral From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs April is Alcohol Awareness Month, and the Navy Alcohol Abuse Prevention (NAAP) office encourages Sailors to not just make responsible choices if they choose to drink, but to take an honest look at their alcohol use. If you think your drinking is impacting your work or relationships, or if you suspect you may be struggling with addiction, the Navy’s non-disciplinary self-referral process allows you to seek help and remain an active duty Sailor. The intent of a self-referral is to provide you with a means of intervening in the progression of alcohol abuse early enough for you to get help before a problem becomes more advanced and more difficult to resolve without the risk of disciplinary action. Have you ever wondered what the self-referral process is like? This recently released video testimonial from the Keep What You’ve Earned Campaign (KWYE) shows the real-life story of one chief’s experience with seeking help. You can view the testimonial video above, and more information is available on the NAAP website. Do you still have questions about the selfreferral process? The following list answers some frequently asked questions about selfreferral. 1. What exactly constitutes a self-referral?
How to submit a commentary
A self-referral is an event that is personally initiated by the member. A member may initiate the process by disclosing the nature and extent of their problem to one of the following personnel who is actively employed in their capacity as a qualified self-referral agent: • Drug and Alcohol Programs Advisor (DAPA) • Commanding Officer, Executive Officer, Officer- in-Charge, or Command Master Chief (CMDCM)/Chief of the Boat (COB) • Navy Drug and Alcohol Counselor (or intern) • Department of Defense medical personnel, including Licensed Independent Practitioner (LIP) • Chaplain • Fleet and Family Support Center Counselor 2. When should someone consider self-referring? A member should consider self-referring if they desire counseling and treatment to address potential, suspected, or actual alcohol abuse or misuse. 3. Is there anything that could make a self-referral invalid, in which case the member would not be shielded from disciplinary action? To be valid, the self-referral must be made only to one of the qualified self-referral agents listed above; it must be made with the intent of acquiring treatment, should treatment be recommended as a result of the screening process; and there can be no cred-
ible evidence of the member’s involvement in an alcohol-related incident (ARI). 4. What do we mean by “non-disciplinary?” This means that a member may not be disciplined merely for self-referring and participating in the resulting process of screening and treatment, if recommended. It does not mean that a member is necessarily shielded from the possible administrative consequences of treatment failure or the administrative or disciplinary consequences of refusing to participate in treatment recommended by the post-referral screening process. 5. Does making a self-referral count as an alcohol-related incident (ARI)? No. Self-referral provides the means of early intervention in the progression of alcohol abuse by which members can obtain help before a problem becomes more advanced and more difficult to resolve without risk of disciplinary action. 6. What happens after someone makes a self-referral? • Command will complete DAPA screening package and OPNAV 5350/7 Drug and Alcohol Abuse Report (DAR). • Self-referrals shall be directed to the appropriate Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Program (SARP) for screening. Following screening, a medical officer or LIP will provide the member’s command with a written screening summary and treatment recommendation. • If treatment is recommend, the command will coordinate with the appropriate SARP facility based on availability, locality,
and type of treatment needed. 7. Will other people know if I self-refer? Yes. The member’s chain of command, and others on a need-to-know basis, will be informed. 8. Will a self-referral mean that the Navy looks at other parts of my life/job performance? Alcohol use issues are complex, and evaluation and treatment require a holistic view. Relevant information on the member’s work and personal life may be required as part of the screening and treatment processes. 9. Can I re-enlist if I’ve self-referred? Yes. 10. What are the levels of alcohol treatment? • Level 0.5 Early Intervention/Education Program • Level I Outpatient Treatment • Level II Intensive Outpatient/Partial Hospitalization (lOP) • Level III Inpatient Treatment 11. Will I lose my security clearance for self-referring? No. Your security clearance may be jeopardized if your post-referral screening recommends treatment and you subsequently refuse that treatment. 12. Where can I get further information on the self-referral policy? Refer to OPNAVINST 5350.4D for details and official policies. Questions may directed to the 21st Century Sailor Office, NAAP staff. Contact information is available at the NAAP website at www.public. navy.mil/bupers-npc/support/21st_Century_Sailor/NAAP/Pages/default.aspx.

Navy promotes education to ‘Protect Our Species’ on Earth Day From U.S. Fleet Forces Command Public Affairs
N
ORFOLK, Va. (NNS) – The U.S. Navy’s global presence provides numerous opportunities to positively affect the environment in their communities – not just on Earth Day, but throughout the year. This year’s theme is “Protect Our Species,” which serves to promote awareness for the protection of endangered species and highlight everyday actions for Sailors, Marines, Department of the Navy civilians and their family members. “In addition to departmentlevel measures, we do all we can to protect marine species and natural resources by complying with laws,” Mike Jones, the environmental planning and resources section head at U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFFC) said. “This includes being proactive in our communities, regions and bases in the U.S., as well as overseas for a better, more sustainable environment.” In partnership with federal agencies and with input from state government agencies, academia, and non-governmental organizations, and in compliance with environmental laws, the Navy develops and imple-
ments appropriate sciencebased protective measures to protect species at sea and ashore. Sailors and Marines can use similar actions to safeguard both the species and the habitats they call home. Mitigation zones: When the Navy conducts training or testing activities, and a protected, threatened or endangered species is spotted in a mitigation zone, then the activity is stopped until the animal has cleared the zone. You too can protect them by avoiding them on land or water. Marine mammals – such as dolphins, whales and seals – are protected under the Ma-

rine Mammal Protection Act, which makes it illegal to harass or harm these animals. It is important not to interact with them if you encounter these species when boating, jet-skiing or swimming. Additionally, all sea turtles are protected under the Endangered Species Act, so do not approach them or disturb any nests you may find on your local beach. Proper disposal of waste: The Navy equips all warships with suites of solid waste processing equipment and provides recycling capabilities for shore installations. Ashore, items accepted for recycling include white paper, cardboard, metals, aluminum and glass. Ensure you understand what can and can’t be recycled in your area, and contact your local installation or community recycling centers for hours of operation. To ensure that plastic is not discharged at sea, Sailors compress and melt shipboard-generated plastic waste that results from food preparation and everyday life aboard the ship so it can be stored for proper disposal in-port. Plastics can be devastating to marine species because they are sometimes mistaken as food (plastic bags can look like jellyfish in the water) or coastal wildlife can be harmed by becoming entangled in fishing gear or six-pack rings. You can protect wildlife by packing up all of your trash from a day at the beach or other coastal areas and not throwing anything
overboard if you are on a recreational boat. Avoiding impacts to essential fish habitats: All fish and marine species require quality habitat in order to live and reproduce, so the Navy analyzes the effects of training activities, consults with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and takes part in habitat restoration projects to ensure our potential impacts on essential fish habitats (EFH) are prevented or minimized. You can also help to protect EFH by being aware of where they are in your local waterways, turning in oyster shells to recycling programs and looking for sustainable seafood choices wherever you shop for seafood. To learn more on sustainable seafood choices, visit https://www.fisheries.noaa. gov/insight/understanding-sustainable-seafood. Protection of migratory birds: The majority of birds in the U.S. are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which makes it illegal to shoot, wound, kill, capture or collect any migratory bird, as well as the parts, nests or eggs of these birds – except under the terms of a valid federal permit. The Navy limits the trimming of trees on Navy property during spring nesting time to help reduce disturbance to active birds’ nests. You can help protect migratory birds by examining your trees, bushes, and tall grasses for nests before trimming trees or mowing your yard.
“Managing the balance between readiness activities and protecting wildlife is critical to ensure Sailors and Marines are prepared to defend the country, and that species thrive for future generations,” Tom Olexa, the natural resource manager at Naval Weapons Station Yorktown said. Each year on April 22, Earth Day is celebrated world-wide, but the Navy conducts related events throughout the entire month of April. These activities include fairs, beach and base cleanups, tree plantings, recycling contests, school and youth activities, fun runs, and more. The Navy also promotes its environmental stewardship efforts through the USFFC-sponsored “Stewards of the Sea: Defending Freedom, Protecting the Environment” outreach program. Earth Day was founded in 1970 by former U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin to promote community engagement and practices of environmental stewardship around the world.

DoD official: ‘Intense campaign’ addressing military housing issues
By C. Todd Lopez Defense.gov WASHINGTON – Site visits to military housing by defense officials to hear firsthand accounts of problems there are just one step being taken to ensure military families have safe places to live. Robert H. McMahon, the assistant secretary of defense for sustainment, told lawmakers on April 4 that the military services are aware of problems in privatized housing and have embarked on a series of house
McMahon said that the Defense Department had an opendoor policy when it comes to reporting housing issues. He said all resident complaints are taken seriously and acted upon by the housing privatization project entity and staff, and that when he’s fielded such a complaint, he’s then followed up with other service-level officials to help fix problems. Included among those officials were Thomas Modly, undersecretary of the Navy; John W. Henderson, assistant secretary of the Air Force for installations, environment and energy; and Alex A. Beehler, assistant secretary of the Army for installations, energy and environment. All three testified alongside McMahon at the hearing. Modly told lawmakers the Navy is reaching out to “every single person in the Navy and Marine Corps who lives in privatized housing.” So far, he said, they’ve identified about 4,700 issues with family housing for sailors, and that about 2,800 of those families have asked leaders to visit their homes personally. “We’re well on the way of ticking away on that,” Modly said, noting that about 900 visits have been made to Navy personnel and 7,000 personal visits have been made to family housing. “I think we are taking it extremely seriously, as well as
calls to let families know they’re going to fix issues they find. “Since the beginning of the year, the military departments have conducted an intense campaign, consisting of site visits, reviews of privatized housing conditions, meetings with families and communities, and senior-level discussions with privatization partners to address property management issues,” McMahon said in testimony during a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee’s readiness subcommittee.
taking it personally,” he said. “But we’re trying to do everything we can immediately to address the immediate concerns.” Henderson said nearly 50,000 Air Force families have been contacted and interviewed regarding their concerns with family housing. Accordingly, he said, some 4,700 work orders have been opened up to address issues that were found. “They are now surging on (those work orders) and we’re battle tracking here with the Air Force,” Henderson said. The Army has also stepped up efforts to correct any problems in privatized family housing. Following the hearing, Beehler said leaders across the Army have been visiting soldier homes to assess problems that might be found there. “The chain of command for each soldier has visited their on-post housing — that’s more than 87,000 homes,” Beehler said. “These home visits will continue at the request of our military families until the issue is resolved. Furthermore, we are hiring additional personnel on the ground to provide quality assurance oversight for all housing. We have also established 24-7 hotlines that are live at every single installation that soldiers and families can call and connect with key garrison and command personnel to discuss any housing con-

cerns. We want to ensure our soldiers and families are getting the best quality housing that they deserve.” At the DoD level, McMahon said the department is committed to providing a safe and secure environment on all bases and installations for service members and their families. He said a series of corrective actions are underway already to address problems found in privatized housing. “Examples of these actions include implementing a residents’ bill of rights. Determining the feasibility of developing a common tenant lease, clarifying processes for tenants to raise health concerns and for health providers to report issues as appropriate and establishing resident customer care advocates.” In 1996, legislation established the Military Housing Privatization Initiative, or MHPI. As part of this initiative, the military departments conveyed 99 percent, or more than 200,000 units of installation family housing in the United States to private entities. The MHPI leverages private investment and expertise to significantly improve the quality of on-base housing faster than traditional military construction and facilitates longterm investment necessary to maintain high quality on-base housing.

Letter confirms ongoing strength of NAS Whiting Field’s SAPR commitment From NASWF Public Affairs An anonymous letter
T
o the community that I have come to admire, respect and love: Those are strong words, I know, but they are written with absolute sincerity. For the last couple of years, a special edition of the Whiting Tower has been published to cover events that take place during Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAPM). The last two editions included a heartfelt open letter to sexual assault survivors who came forward to make a report in FY15. I am not against it being published another year. The words are as true today as they were three years ago but the “awareness tree” it mentions is gone. It is hard to understand the letter without a little backstory on the hun-
dreds of teal ribbons that adorned the trees at Naval Air Station Whiting Field in April 2017. So here it goes: It is always a challenge to plan SAAPM events because you hope to increase public awareness and engagement while also being respectful of survivors’ experiences. That was our challenge as we tied 138 teal ribbons to create our awareness trees in the courtyard between Bldg. 1401 and the atrium onboard NAS Whiting Field two years ago. We needed the visual appeal because we wanted people to look, but we wanted them to see everything each ribbon stood for. If one looked hard enough,

they might have seen the ribbons transform into pain, anger, sadness, loneliness, bravery, courage, strength, healing or any number of emotions survivors experience ... each rib-

assault. We didn’t have the resources to hang 1,376 ribbons from the trees so each ribbon represented 10 survivors and there was both a sense of satisfaction and guilt when we had finished. I believe in our community and our Navy. I know we are all making our personal commitments to end sexual violence, and I am confident the numbers next year will reflect our efforts. Regardless of the number of reports we will receive during FY19, we plan on bringing back the awareness trees next April but this time,
every story will stand on its own. This is how we can be respectful of their experience; we can see them – all of them. We can look past the pretty teal ribbons that blow in the wind and honor the people they represent, have the courage to admit that sexual violence is a threat to all of us, and commit yourself to do something about it.

The sugary white sands along the Florida Panhandle attract millions of visitors to the area throughout the year. It is important for locals and visitors to understand and consider the following tips for safety at the beach. The danger of rip currents far outweighs the danger of having a shark encounter. As a result of past storms, the near-shore sandbars along our beaches have changed and the frequency of rip currents has increased. A rip current is a turbulent, fast flowing current that can carry a swimmer out to sea very quickly. The currents are formed when water rushes out to sea in a narrow path (such as a break in the nearshore sandbar or from an obstruction of the current caused by a groin or jetty or other type of barrier). Rip currents can last for a few hours or may be permanent; they usually exist when the surf is rough and after storms, but can occur on calm days. Some signs of rip currents include: • A difference in water color. The water may be murkier from increased sediments or appear

darker because it is deeper • A channel of churning, choppy water • A line of foam, seaweed or debris being carried directly to sea • Rip currents can be difficult to spot. Wearing polarized sunglasses will help you recognize changes in water color If you are caught in a rip current, try not to panic or swim against the current. Swim to the left or right of the current, parallel to shore until you are out of the current. Rip currents range in width from a few feet to many feet wide. If you can not break out of the current, float calmly out until it ends, usually just beyond the breakers. Then swim diagonally to shore. Remember, always use common sense and swim responsibly. For current surf conditions
check out the National Weather Service rip current forecast. Know the meaning of the beach warning flags: • A double red flag means the water is closed to the public • A single red flag means the surf is very dangerous and you should stay out of the water • A yellow flag indicates that you should take caution when in the water • A green flag indicates that conditions are safe for swimming • A purple flag means there could be dangerous marine life such as jellyfish When swimming at the beach it is important to remember that the Gulf of Mexico is a wilderness, not a swimming pool. Use common sense when enjoying the Gulf. Some safety tips to remember include:
Gosling Games Color Me: ‘Shells’
• Swim near a life guard • Know your swimming abilities and limits, if you can not swim, stay out of the water • Swim in groups or use the buddy system; never swim alone • Be aware of weather conditions; get out of the water and away from the beach during electrical storms. Taking shelter in a building is best, but otherwise a car • Always enter the water, feet first every time • Don’t swim in murky waters or between dusk and dawn • Stay calm in the event of an emergency • Pay attention and know the meaning of beach warning flags. Pay attention to lifeguards • Avoid swimming in areas where people are fishing • To avoid being stung by a sting ray, shuffle your feet; this will stir the sand and scare away sting rays • Always wear sunscreen or protect your skin with clothing • If you see someone in trouble, get help from a lifeguard, have someone call 9-1-1. Throw the victim something that will float and yell instructions on how to escape. Remember, many drown while trying to save someone from a rip current.

Navy’s senior CTM piped ashore By Center for Information Warfare Training
T
he Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT) piped ashore CTMCM Neil Watson, a native of Homestead, Fla., as he retired from the Navy after 30 years of dedicated and honorable service during a ceremony onboard NAS Pensacola Corry Station April 12. More than 130 family members, friends and shipmates attended the ceremony to honor and bid “fair winds and following seas” to Watson, the Navy’s senior CTM. The presiding officer for the ceremony, retired Lt. Cmdr. Mike MacDonald, commended Watson for his loyal devotion to the Navy, Sailors and families. “The moment I met Neil years ago, I knew he was a special guy and the kind of Sailor to get things done,” MacDonald shared. “Neil and his family have sacrificed an incredible amount for the Navy, and without a doubt, he’s made a lasting, positive impact on his Sailors and the CTM rating for many years to come.” Capt. Nick Andrews, CIWT’s commanding officer, presented Watson the Meritorious Service Medal for superior performance as CIWT’s CTM rating training manager and directorate senior enlisted leader from 2017 to 2019. Some of the top metrics in the citation included: “As the driv-
ing force behind the resurgence of the CTM training pipeline, his innovation and expertise ensured the rating is prepared to meet future fleet requirements and strategic goals. Under his steadfast leadership, new courses were approved, designed and implemented for optimal opportunity and adjusted to meet Navy training goals. Additionally, as senior enlisted leader for more than 75 senior military and civilian personnel, 225 courses and 22,000 annual students, he yielded an unmatched team cohesiveness and culture of enhancement aligning with Sailor 2025 and Ready Relevant Learning objectives. Through his initiatives and attention to detail, the Center for Information Warfare Training was awarded the Naval Education and Training Command Training Excellence Award in each category, an unprecedented accomplishment.” Retired CTRCM Sam Catalane served as one of the guest speakers. “Neil always went above

and beyond with anything he did, and above all, he loves the Navy,” Catalane added. “There’s no better trait than leadership and Neil was and always has been a true leader– a great chief, senior chief and master chief petty officer.” Retired ITCM Frank Carollo was another guest speaker. “Neil always challenged Sailors and others around him to always do and be better,” Carollo said. “He never left a Sailor behind and always took them along for the ride. You are example to everyone and have a solid moral compass for others to emulate. You are a true brother, leader, shipmate and chief, Neil.”
The ceremony also included numerous presentations to Watson and his family. A Meritorious Service Award, signed by Vice Adm. Timothy White, commander of U.S. Fleet Cyber Command and U.S. 10th Fleet, highlighted: “Master Chief Watson served with devotion and honor during cryptologic and information warfare assignments in California, Virginia, Florida and Iraq. His career was distinguished by excellence in leadership, technical acumen, and a deep commitment to the information warfare and cryptologic communities.” During his remarks, Watson shared how the Navy offers
you many opportunities such as “who gets to” and how numerous prior and current shipmates and Sailors impacted his career. “I wouldn’t be here today without the support, guidance leadership and friendship of many of you in the room today,” Watson said. “You never know what is going to happen to you so when opportunities arise, rise with them. Who gets to learn about the consistency as a leader from one of the best, retired Lt. Cmdr. Mike MacDonald? Who gets to be a chief at sea and lead Sailors? Who gets to make Navy policy? Who gets to make positive change every day?” Watson also individually thanked the numerous family and friends in attendance. “My sole source of life comes from one person, my wife,” Watson said. “You are why I stand here today, and without you, there’s no doubt I would not have achieved my goals. You are my best friend, my sounding board, my confidant, you are my rock, and most of all my heart, my soul and my love. To my daughters, you are my inspiration and I look forward to making more great memories in this next chapter of our lives.” In closing, Watson shared, “We are what make up the Navy, we make our country safer, our family better and our lives worth living. Thank you for allowing me to serve 30 years in the Navy I love. It has been a pleasure and a privilege.” Watson and his family were then piped ashore for the last time by the honors boatswain.

Active-duty and adult family member sexual assault victims have a choice of reporting options, unrestricted and restricted. Unrestricted reporting allows victims to have an advocate, seek medical care, counseling, legal services, safety interventions and/or transfer, etc. To access an unrestricted report, the victim may report to his/her chain-of-command, security/law enforcement, NCIS, SAPR VA, SARC or others. NCIS shall be notified by the CO and/or the VA/SARC in unrestricted cases to begin investigation. Investigation results are provided to the offender’s CO for appropriate action/disposition. Restricted reporting allows a victim to have a confidential report, which does not trigger command or law enforcement notification and the victim may have a SAPR VA and seek medical care and/or counseling. To access restricted reporting, the victim may disclose his/her sexual assault only to the SARC, a current SAPR VA, a health care professional and/or a chaplain.
