Aviation symposium events attract large turnout at museum

By Janet Thomas Gosport Staff Writer

A schedule focusing on Coast Guard aviators and a group of World War I pilots produced a good turnout for the annual Naval Aviation Symposium May 4-6 at the National Naval Aviation Museum aboard Naval Air Station Pensacola.

Museum officials estimated that more than 1,300 people attended events that included a salute to the centennial of Coast Guard aviation.

Retired Coast Guard Vice Adm. John Currier was the moderator for a May 5 panel discussion, “Coast Guard Air: Into the Storm for 100 Years,” and retired Coast Guard Capt.

Robert Workman, author of “Float Planes and Flying Boats,” was the guest speaker at a luncheon.

The symposium also featured the Pensacola premiere of the documentary film “The Millionaires’ Unit – U.S. Naval Aviators in the First World War.” The film tells the story of service and sacrifice made by an affluent group of college students from Yale University who formed a private air militia. Named the First Yale Unit and dubbed “the millionaires’ unit” by the press, the pioneer aviators became the founding squadron of the U.S. Naval Air Reserve. They were the first to fly and the first to die for their country during World War I. During a May 6 panel discussion, Navy,

Marine Corps and Coast Guard flag officers discussed the challenges and initiatives under way and the future of naval aviation.

The moderator was Vice Adm. Mike Shoemaker, commander, Naval Air Forces. Panel members included Marine Maj. Gen. Gary L. Thomas, commander, Second Marine Aircraft Wing; Coast Guard Vice Adm. Charles W. Ray, commander, Pacific Area, and commander, Defense Force West; Navy Adm. Bill Gortney, commander, North American Defense Command Aerospace (NORAD); Navy Rear Adm. Michael Manazir, director of Air Warfare (OpNav N98) on the staff of Chief of Naval Operations (CNO); Navy Rear Adm. Michael T. Moran, program executive officer for Tactical Aircraft Programs; and Navy Rear Adm. Dell Bull, Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA).

Other symposium activities included a golf tournament, the Hall of Honor enshrinement and an awards reception.

Three new names were added to the Pioneers in Aviation Hall of Honor during an enshrinement ceremony: Frederick Trubel Davison, the founder of the First Yale Unit, who later served as Assistant U.S. Secretary of War and the director of personnel for the Central Intelligence Agency; Marine Col. Bernard Smith, who established Vice Adm. Mike Shoemaker, commander, Naval Air Forces, moderates a flag panel discussion on “Naval Aviation Today and Tomorrow” May 6 at the annual naval avia-

HURREX Citadel Gale 16 exercise underway through May 20

By Navy Installations Command Public Affairs

NAS Pensacola, in conjunction with Navy Installations Command and U.S. Fleet Forces Command, is conducting an annual hurricane preparedness exercise, HURREX/Citadel Gale 2016, through May 20 in preparation for the upcoming Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean area hurricane season.

The purpose of HURREX/Citadel Gale 2016 is to prepare the Navy to respond to weather threats to U.S. coastal regions, and to maintain the ability to deploy forces even under the most adverse

weather conditions.

This year’s exercise will consist of two simulated tropical cyclones that will develop and intensify to hurricane strength, and will threaten the East Coast of the United States, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean coastal regions.

Vigilance this season is urged by Burt Fenters, NASP emergency manager.

“I’m concerned about complacency; it’s been a while since our last storm along the Gulf Coast; even the locals seem to be relaxing.

Don’t let your guard down,” Fenters said.

Navy stress dog Cmdr. Joe visits NASP

By Jason Bortz Public Affairs Officer, NHP

Mid-Atlantic, Naval District Washington and Navy Region Southeast – ashore, afloat, in port and underway – are participating, to include reviewing and exercising heavy weather instructions and procedures and accounting for Sailors and Navy families in the affected regions through the Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System (NFAAS).

The destruction and devastation caused by storms such as hurricanes Sandy, Irene and Katrina reinforce the need for proper training and preparedness prior to the threat of a real world natural disaster. With the onset of the Atlantic hurricane season June 1, the Navy remains committed to the safety, security, and well-being of its Sailors, civilians and their family members.

NATTC presents Holocaust Remembrance Day observance From Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Public Affairs

Cmdr. Joe may not look like a typical commander with his long hair, four paws and wagging tail, but he is making a significant impact with patients he meets.

As a military stress and welfare service dog, Joe is trained to identify signs of stress or depression in people.

Joe and his handler, Lt. Cmdr. Tracy Krauss, a behavioral health specialist at Fort Belvoir Community Hospital in Virginia, travel to military and civilian hospitals throughout the country to demonstrate Joe’s unique talent. The two visited Naval Hospital Pensacola and several branch clinics in the Gulf Coast region May 2-6. Joe also visited several commands in the area aboard Naval Air Station Pensacola and NAS Cmdr. Joe and his handler, Lt. Cmdr.

Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) service members attended an hour-long Holocaust Remembrance Day observance, May 5, in the facility’s Charles A. Taylor Hangar.

Organized by the NATTC Command Diversity Council, the observance included presentations from CDC members, as well as a speech from guest speaker Dr. Lori Ripps, a Pensacola resident and the daughter of two Polish Holocaust survivors.

NATTC Commanding Officer Capt.

Hugh Rankin said the command’s observance of Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) is an integral part of showcasing the diversity of the United States Navy to the staff and the thousands

NASP CO expresses appreciation to military spouses From NASP Commanding Officer Capt. Christopher T. Martin

“In 1984, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed that a day be set aside to recognize and celebrate the unselfish contributions made by military spouses.

“This is a perfect time for me to express my personal gratitude for the outstanding support of NAS Pensacola’s military spouses. Your selfless encouragement is vital to the mission of this command and the United States Navy.

Thank you for the sacrifices you make every day. Your committment to the challenging Navy lifestyle is essential for the defense of the nation and peace throughout the world.

“Sincerely, C.T. Martin, Captain, U.S. Navy.”

Whiting Field.

A black-and-tan Labrador, Joe acts just like a normal dog most of the time. He loves to be petted and greets new people that he meets with a wag of his tail. However, Joe’s demeanor changes when Krauss gives him the command to work. At that time, Joe searches for someone that may be suffering from stress or depression.

“Joe can recognize someone’s body language and can smell stress pheromones or cortisol levels,” said Krauss.

As the only stress-sniffing dog in the Department of Defense, Joe’s popularity is growing as he helps people suffering from stress and turns doubters into believers. In the past four years, Joe has identified 59 people showing signs of emotional distress and nine of those people admitted to having a suicide plan.

“Anyone that doubts Joe just needs to see him in action,” said Krauss. “He has never been wrong.”

Krauss only gives Joe the command to work in a clinic or hospital setting, and she is always open with patients about Joe and why he is there. Joe has a discreet way of letting Krauss know if he has identified a patient that may need attention and that patient is brought to a provider along with Joe to talk about stress or feelings of depression they may be experienc-

“The U.S. Navy has a diverse population, something which is reflected at NATTC and celebrating our differences and learning about each other’s culture and beliefs makes us a better organization,” he said. “The NATTC Command Diversity Council does an outstanding job of making sure our staff and students are exposed to different cultures and observances, and events such as our Holocaust remembrance observation serve as a reminder of some of the world’s darkest days, and why we stress equality and cultural understanding.”

The Holocaust was the statesponsored, systematic persecution and annihilation of European Jews by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945. Jews were the primary victims – six million were murdered; Roma and Sinti (gypsies), people with mental and physical disabilities, and Polish citizens were also targeted for destruction or decima-

“Sometimes people ask to speak to Joe,” said Krauss. “They can talk to him about anything because Joe doesn’t judge.”

Even when Joe is not working, he always brings a smile to people faces. “(Joe) is awesome,” said HM2 Gibbi Johnson, leading petty officer, NHP Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic. “It’s hard to be in a bad mood when he shows up wagging his tail and wants to be petted.”

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,

She was ultimately liberated from that camp and subsequently immigrated to Canada, where she met Ripps’ father, also a Holocaust survivor and the only member of his family to survive Nazi atrocities.

NATTC instructor and Command Diversity Council member AD1(AW/SW) Eric Bobadilla said Ripps’ lecture provided an insight into something he had previously only known about through school.

“Hearing what this family has endured really opened my eyes to what happened to this group of people decades ago,” he said. “I hope everyone who heard her speak today can understand and appreciate what these individuals (Holocaust victims) endured for no other reason than because they were different. Her words really struck me and I know the students here today can have a deeper appreciation of what we represent as individuals serving our country and adhering to the Navy’s core values.”

The deed is done, but our house won’t be forgotten

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist

“Ach! I’ve got to get rid of this albatross around my neck!” my husband Francis exclaimed recently, with plenty of overly dramatic Italian gesturing.

“Albatross? Don’t be so dramatic,” I retorted. “I love that house. Hayden will never forget his little blue room, Anna took her first steps in that cul-de-sac, Lilly was born there … and Zuzu is buried in the back yard for criminy’s sake.”

Last week, we put the house we have owned since 1998 on the market, and our emotions have been mixed.

After returning from a military tour in England with a toddler and a newborn, we bought our first home in Virginia Beach, Va., intending to stay a while. Even though “homesteading” was frowned upon, we didn’t care – our son had been diagnosed with developmental delays, and in order for his treatment to be effective, he needed stability.

Lucky for us, Francis was offered competitive Navy orders to Second Fleet, Fleet Forces Command, and Joint Forces Command, enabling

us to stay put without jeopardizing his career.

During the years we lived on our suburban cul-de-sac, the children knew the shortcut to the local park. I planned the neighborhood Halloween parade every year.

We got our first puppy, Dinghy, after Zuzu the cat died. We went to the ice cream place down the street after Hayden’s flag football games. Lilly would toddle across the circle in nothing but a diaper to flirt with Jimmy, our 16-year-old neighbor. On Friday nights, we drank cold beer with our neighbors while sitting in lawn chairs on the driveway.

And in the mornings, we could hear the Fairfield Elementary School announcements from our front porch.

In that happy little Dutch colonial, I dabbled in home improvements, installing a new faucet, ceiling fans, lights and shelving in the playroom. Every spring, while the daffodils, azaleas, ferns and hostas pushed through the mulch, Francis and I argued about whether the lawn needed aerating. We added a screened porch, which became the site of many birthday dinners, after-

By the numbers: According to the 2015 Census, about 64 percent of Americans own homes, but only 38 percent of military members buy houses. There are resources available for military buyers and sellers. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development website (hud.gov) explains provisions of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). Housing counselors are available at 1 (888) 995-HOPE. The Military Housing Assistance Fund (usmhaf.org) offers monetary “gifts” to qualified service members who need help paying closing costs.

She and her family are stationed at Naval Station Newport in Rhode Island. noon coffee breaks, and Lilly’s first communion brunch. Anna broke her arm falling from our backyard playset, and the following year, Lilly got stitches in her

head for the same reason.

Oblivious to the fact that the military would eventually force us to move, we meticulously scratched the height of each member of our growing brood, including the dog, into the pantry door.

Like I said, I loved that house.

When we got orders to Germany in 2008, we told ourselves, “We’ll definitely come back here one day.”

But we never returned.

Now, before we have to face tricky capital gains taxes, we have decided to sell. Francis isn’t sad to see her go, because he is tired of the responsibilities and stresses of renting and maintaining a house from a distance. Un-

scrupulous property managers, surprise repairs and negligent renters put Francis in the mood to sell.

I, on the other hand, feel the bittersweet pangs of melancholy as I prepare myself to sign away the deed to a decade of some of the most important years of our family’s life.

But it is time.

Time for another young family to grace her walls with baby photos. Time for another child to hang a swing from her big oak tree. Time for another husband to gripe about the leaves in her gutters, and for another wife to plant pansies in the yard. Time for another dog to sleep in front of her fire-warmed hearth.

‘New to the Navy’ mobile app upgraded From Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs

M

ILLINGTON, Tenn.

(NNS) – The “New to the Navy” mobile application is a one-stop resource for answers to many of the frequently asked pay and personnel questions Sailors may have, and now it’s even better.

On April 29, the Navy updated the app providing more indepth information, streamlining content location, and making overall performance improvements.

Information additions include a new tab category “Links and References,” which contains information and links to Legal Services and Voluntary Education (VolEd). The Legal Services section covers the types of legal assistance and support the Judge Advocate General provides, such as wills, notary, etc. The VolEd section provides links to the Navy College Program website, the Web Tuition Assistance

site, and much more. The update also adds pertinent information for reserve pay and personnel content.

Additional new content consists of updated checklists and content changes. There is a section for Sailors to know what to do when they want to get married while on leave, and what to do when they’re getting ready to move to a new command. There are also updates to the list of the Navy’s common terms and acronyms to help new Sailors and family members learn to navigate the service’s alphabet soup.

The application is available

Upgrade to Navy COOL mobile app includes advancement BIBs Story by Ed Barker Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) Public Affairs

The Navy Credentialing Opportunities Online (COOL) app for mobile devices received a significant upgrade April 28 with the addition of advancement exam bibliographies (BIBs).

Added to the Navy COOL website last month, BIBs on COOL allows Sailors, including the Reserve forces, who are preparing for advancement examinations to access their references without the need for a Common Access Card (CAC). The direct links to the Navy COOL website BIBs enhance the functionality of the COOL app for mobile devices.

“Adding the BIBS to the Navy COOL CAC-free website was a major win for the Sailor,” said At CID change of command ... Capt.

ETNCM(SS) James Berhalter, command master chief for the Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC). “Adding that same tool to the Navy COOL app makes it even more convenient, with the ability for active-duty and reserve Sailors to prepare for advancement exams virtually anywhere.”

According to Keith Boring, Navy COOL program manager, adding the BIBs to the app is a major accomplishment, but is just one of the upgrades.

“Many of the documents in the app have been compressed, making downloading it easier,” said Boring. “We’ve also added supporting files for the Learning and Development Roadmaps, Rating Information Cards and Joint Service Transcript files. App users should see noticeable improvements after down-

loading the update.”

The Navy COOL app is a bring-your-own device (BYOD) tool designed to work on personal devices outside of the NMCI domain. Users can download the Navy COOL app from the Apple store and Google Play Store at no cost.

To find the free Navy COOL app, search “Navy COOL” in app stores or in your web browser. To update the existing Navy COOL app on your mobile device (if you haven’t received a notification), check the page in the device store and there will be an upgrade option – choose “upgrade” and download.

The Navy COOL office is located at the Center for Information Dominance (CID) at Naval Air Station Pensacola Corry Station. CID is the Navy’s learning center that delivers information warfare professionals to the Navy and joint services, enabling optimal performance of information warfare across the full spectrum of military operations.

NETPDC, located on board NAS Pensacola Saufley Field, provides products and services that enable and enhance education, training, career development, and personnel advancement throughout the Navy. Primary elements of the command include the Voluntary Education Department, the Navy Advancement Center and the Resources Management Department.

NHP: Allergy season is here again Story, photo

by Jason Bortz Naval Hospital Pensacola PAO

F

ortunately, there are precautions that can be done to reduce allergies and medications that can help reduce symptoms. “Allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever, is an immunological response to allergens such as pollen, dust mites and dander from cats or dogs,” said Lt. Cmdr. Julia Savitz, allergist, Naval Hospital Pensacola (NHP).

“Allergies are one of the most common reasons patients visit their doctor; especially during the allergy season,” she said.

The allergy season typically runs from spring to fall, but it can be longer in the Gulf Coast region due to the moderate climate. In this region, common allergies include grass, pollen and dust mites. Allergens such as these can cause discomfort and can result in missed school or days at work.

“Unfortunately, exposure to allergens make the symptoms worse,” said Savitz, who is from Lakewood, Wash.

Dust mites are one of the most common allergies in this region and they live and multiply in warm, humid environments. Their particles are often found in pillows, mattresses and carpeting. To reduce expo-

sure to dust mites, Savitz recommends vacuuming regularly, washing sheets weekly in hot water and using dust mite covers on mattresses and pillows. Unlike other allergies, dust mites tend to be yearround and often do not have seasonal variation.

Pollens from grass, trees and weeds are hard to avoid because they can travel for many miles with the help of the wind, but there are steps that can be taken to manage exposure to them. Keeping windows closed during high pollen periods, wearing glasses or sunglasses when outdoors and showering after spending time outdoors will all help.

If all these precautions fail, there are medications that can help including over-thecounter intranasal steroids and

oral antihistamines. If these medications are not effective or patients have more severe symptoms like trouble breathing or hives, they should visit their physician, who may refer them to an allergist.

An allergist, such as Savitz, may be able to identify the specific cause of allergies through a series of tests or by simply reviewing a patient’s medical history.

“If a patient has an allergic reaction every time they touch a dog or cat, then I know they are allergic to pet dander and

can prescribe a treatment plan for them,” said Savitz. “For some patients further evaluation may involve skin testing or blood testing in addition to a detailed history.”

The cause of allergies or why some people are allergic to somethings and not others is not always known. Unfortunately, almost no one escapes the annual allergy season without at least mild reactions and discomfort. With medications and managing exposure to known allergens as best as possible, allergy season does

When asked where the perfect place to live where there are no allergies, Savitz responded with a laugh, “Maybe in the middle of a desert.”

Appointments with NHP’s Allergy Clinic are by referral only and are available to all TRICARE beneficiaries. Patients enrolled to a Medical Home Port Team at NHP should contact their team first.

Patients enrolled to a provider outside of NHP can call the NHP Allergy Clinic at 5057087 for more information.

NASWF recognized as Top Shore Installation by ADC

By Jay Cope NAS Whiting Field PAO

N

aval Air Station Whiting Field’s (NASWF) banner year continues as the installation received notification of a national level award earlier this week.

The Association of Defense Communities (ADC) honored NAS Whiting Field with its Installation Excellence Award for 2015. The award recognizes the command’s continuing emphasis on strengthening relationships with Northwest Florida and Southeast Alabama localities.

ADC presents awards to individuals and organizations that support enhanced ties between military and the area in which the

military bases reside. The Installation Excellence Award is the only award of the six which is presented to a Navy, Marine Corps, Army or Air Force facility.

The organization reviews Department of Defense installations from any military branch that have successfully built strong partnerships with communities, regions and/or states to “(1) enhance community-military col-

laboration; (2) promote installation efficiency and innovation; (3) advance DoD energy efficiency goals; and/or (4) serve as a national model for communitymilitary partnerships.”

To be eligible for the award, an installation must be nominated by a member of ADC. Jim Brightenfield, the manager of the Tri-County Defense Support Initiative, submitted the nomination for NAS Whiting Field.

“I have seen firsthand the outstanding work done at NAS Whiting Field, training our future aviators. The commitment Whiting makes to its students, staff and the community are without parallel. Whiting Field

has, over the past few years, received numerous unit and installation awards. The ADC award representing installation excellence brings together all the work and awards and commitment under the appropriate banner that signifies true installation excellence,” he said.

The nomination package for NAS Whiting Field detailed aspects of the installation’s relationship with the community. Summaries within the package encompassed collaboration, energy goals, innoand partnerships. vation Specific items included the base’s land buffering initiatives with the county, the renewable energy project at Holley Field in

Navarre, a proposed land swap concept with Escambia County and volunteerism within the community.

NAS Whiting Field Commanding Officer Capt. Todd Bahlau was pleased with the recognition, but emphasized that the key word for the ADC award was partnership.

“The team here at NAS Whiting Field continues to set the standard by working tirelessly to be good neighbors in the community,” Bahlau stated. “The residents and businesses of Santa Rosa County likewise take care of our team in a way that I have not seen before in my 25 years of service. I am truly fortunate to be part of such a tremendous relationship.”

Bahlau is scheduled to receive the award in Washington, D.C., June 21 during ADC’s annual symposium.

VT-3 earns CNATRA training excellence awards

By Jamie Link NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs

NAS Whiting Field’s (NASWF) Training Squadron Three’s (VT-3) unparalleled dedication and superior performance was recognized recently with the presentation of two Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) awards. The squadron received both the training excellence award for primary flight training and the Vice Adm. Robert Goldthwaite award for overall training excellence.

The Goldthwaite award honors the outstanding achievements of units engaged in the flight training of student military aviators and student naval flight officers. This accolade is presented to the squadron that has demonstrated the best safety record, training efficiency, quality of training, innovation programs, and community involvement during the preceding calendar year.

VT-3 extended its safety record to 29 years without a class “A” mishap and safely conducted detachment operations to Roswell International Air Center in Roswell, N.M., for 21 days during the year. The Red Knights executed the detachment with 20 aircraft resulting in 1,751 mishap-free flight hours and 1,225

sorties.

“While the production numbers speak for themselves, they shine even brighter when combined with the simple fact that the Red Knights have done it all safely,” VT-3 Commanding Officer Cmdr. Jade Lepke said.

The Red Knights of VT-3 earned the

CNATRA Training Excellence Award (primary squadron), one of several awards presented to the best aviation training within its competitive category.

The training excellence award is a prerequisite qualifier to be considered for the Goldthwaite award.

When Lepke addressed his team fol-

lowing the announcement, he deflected all the praise to their efforts.

“Each of you makes a difference every day, our people – the civilian and military instructors, both reserve and active duty alike – are the true heartbeat of the squadron. Thank you all for your dedication to excellence on every front,” Lepke said.

The Red Knights received the Goldthwaite award for the third time.

The awards were presented at the National Naval Aviation Museum May 5

by Chief of Naval Air Training Rear Adm. Dell Bull.

This award is named for Vice Adm. Robert Goldthwaite, who contributed significantly to the Naval Air Training Command (NATraCom) while serving as a flight instructor; Commander, Training Squadron (TraRon) 13; Superintendent of Aviation Training; Chief of Naval Air Basic Training and CNATRA. “These officers represent the finest instructors and leaders in the Naval Training Command. The Chief of Naval Air Training takes great pride in recognizing their achievements. Congratulations to all. Fly, Fight, Lead,” Bull said in his congratulatory message announcing the winners.

GOSPORT Military Appreciation Month: Pen Air FCU salutes the troops

May

is

From Patty Veal Pen Air Federal Credit Union director of public relations

During the month of May, designated by the U.S. Congress in 1999 as Military Appreciation Month (MAM), Pen Air Federal Credit Union (FCU) will sponsor and support several events in honor of the men and women that serve our great nation.

Congress selected May as Military Appreciation Month because it has the most days set aside for celebrating and commemorating our military’s achievements.

These days include Loyalty Day, Victory in Europe (VE) Day, Military Spouse Appreciation Day and Memorial Day. The month was dedicated to ensure the nation was given the opportunity to publically demonstrate their appreciation for the sacrifices and successes made by our service members – past and present – and Pen Air wants to ensure that opportunity to express appreciation for our troops happens on a local level.

“Pen Air has always been a strong supporter of our military and are happy to sponsor military appreciation events,” said Stu Ramsey, Pen Air president/CEO. “We are truly grateful for the sacrifice our troops endure to preserve our freedom.”

During Military Appreciation Month, Pen Air will assist the Perdido Key Chamber of Commerce with the annual Rosamond Johnson Beach Day in honor of Escambia County’s first fallen hero during the Korean War. Pen Air will also sponsor NAS Whiting Field and the Santa Rosa County Chamber of Commerce during the Whiting Field Family Fun Day event open to military families and public, and the Pace Area Chamber of Commerce’s Military Appreciation Month Breakfast open to chamber members and non-members with advance reservation. Pen Air is also the presenting sponsor of the Pensacola Council of the U.S. Navy League’s Outstanding Enlisted Recognition Breakfast. For information on these events, visit penair.org or Pen Air’s Facebook site.

The Pen Air Signature Event for Military Appreciation Month is the upcoming annual Pen Air Free MAM Bar-B-Que May 20 at the NAS Pensacola Pen Air office (21 Cunningham St.) free to all military and civil service employees from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m., while supplies last. This will mark Pen Air’s sixth year for presenting the event in honor of Military Appreciation Month. For information on these events contact, Patty Veal, director of public relations for Pen Air at 505-3200, ext. 7777, or e-mail vealpa@penair.org.

Pen Air is a not-for-profit, memberowned financial institution, serving the community and improving lives since 1936. For more information, visit www.penair.org or call 505-3200/toll free (877)4PENAIR.

National Military Appreciation Month started as a simple idea; to gather America around its military family to honor, remember, recognize and appreciate those who serve and have served with an appreciation for history. Legislated twice, this idea continues to evolve experiencing increased national attention and recognition.

From http://www.nmam.org

The first legislation (S.Res 33) began in 1999 by the United States Senate designating May as National Military Appreciation Month. With the support and sponsorship of U.S. Sen. John McCain and U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter, along with more than 50 veteran service organizations, this legislation states to service members an entire month is set aside to honor, remember and appreciate their patriotism and dedication from their families.

In April 2004, more comprehensive legislation was passed by unanimous consent of both houses of Congress as H. Con. Res. 328, which solidified May as National Military Appreciation Month. It also reminds the president of the United States to issue annual proclamations calling Americans to recognize this special month through appropriate ceremonies and events.

The military continues to play a major role in the development of the

tory Americans have been privileged to participate in throughout the past 240 years.

Through appropriate means and incentives, federal, state, and local governments and private sector entities are invited to participate in this special month and to encourage everyone to sponsor and participate in programs via multiple venues, giving the nation a time and place upon which to focus, draw attention, and express our appreciation and thanks to the military family.

Due to military deployments worldwide protecting national interests, Americans are asked to serve.

And employers are asked to accommodate these lengthy absences adding demands on the employees. The military’s members represents the highest caliber of professionalism and patriotism and are asked to willingly risk their lives on a moment’s notice.

In May, the nation recognizes their contributions and the sacrifices of their families.

Help the Blue Wahoos and Whataburger support USO Donated items will be accepted at all home games in May From http://www.milb.com

For Military Appreciation Month, the Pensacola Blue Wahoos and Whataburger are teaming up for a third year to collect donations for USO Northwest Florida.

United States chronicled through history of unbending honor, dedication to duty and genuine love of country.

Alarming to some is that younger generations sometimes distance themselves or lack awareness of the service given by Americans. Schools seem to rarely teach crucial military events, causing youth to lose connection with American history.

Names and phrases such as Pearl Harbor, San Juan Hill, the Civil War, the Continental Army, the 38th parallel, the Berlin airlift, the Tet offensive and Normandy continue to lose their significance within the general American population. Because of this, American Military History Month has been combined into May’s Military Appreciation Month, encouraging educators to develop lesson plans that will highlight the history of each military branch.

As many holidays have become marketing avenues to distract focus on its original purpose, May reminds everyone of the sacrifices and the his-

Letter carriers to pick up food donations May 14 Story, graphic from Manna Food Pantries

Tomorrow, May 14, Escambia and Santa Rosa letter carriers will once again join forces to help Stamp Out Hunger in local communities.

In its 24th year, the annual food drive has grown to be the largest national single-day effort that benefits millions of Americans who struggle to put food on the table.

Residents are encouraged to leave a sturdy bag of nonperishable foods, such as canned soups, fruits, vegetables, or meat, dried pasta, rice, beans and cereal next to their mailbox prior to their regular

mail delivery tomorrow, May 14. Escambia and Santa Rosa letter carriers will collect food donations for five local organizations including: ACTS Ministry of Holley Assembly of God in Gulf Breeze, We

Care Ministries of Navarre United Methodist Church in Navarre, Feeding The Gulf Coast (formerly Bay Area Food Bank) in Pace and Milton, Warrington Emergency Aid Center and Manna Food Pantries.

Last year, these organizations received a total of 186,804 pounds of food from the community during the food drive.

“I would like to thank everyone in our community who donates food, our volunteers, local businesses, and especially Publix Supermarkets for providing the food drive bags,” said Phillip Skipper, president of the National As-

sociation of Letter Carriers Northwest Florida Branch 321. “Please give generously this year, so we can help provide food to those who are less fortunate.”

Despite generous support, the need is still great in our community. Last year, Manna Food Pantries helped a total of 20,303 individuals through all of their pantries and programs in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. Of those, 34 percent were children.

“This is such an important food drive because it comes at a time when donations are typically low and the need has increased,” said DeDe Flounlacker, executive director of

Manna Food Pantries. “During the school year, many children get a healthy meal through the free or reduced breakfast and lunch programs.

During the summer, those programs are not available.

The donations from Stamp Out Hunger allow us to provide nutritious food to hungry families and children throughout the summer months.”

Last year, Feeding the Gulf Coast was able to provide nearly 27,000 meals to the hungry through their partner agencies because of Stamp Out Hunger.

Two competitive sporting events will be stirring up excitement at Pensacola Beach this weekend.

Pro Watercross jet ski racing, also known as NASCAR on water, is returning for the third year.

Events are scheduled to start at 8:30 a.m. May 14-15. Spectators can watch for free.

UWP, event producer of the Pro Watercross Tour, was founded in 1996 with core values in mind to provide a safe racing atmosphere for its competitors in a family friendly environment.

In 2015 UWP formed Pro Watercross membership to give a voice to event organizers, competitors, crew members and PWC enthusiasts.

For more information, go to www.prowatercross.com.

The Pensacola Beach Triathlon is scheduled to start at 7 a.m. tomorrow, May 14.

Participants will be challenged to complete a 300-yard swim, a 10-mile bike ride and a three-mile run. The swim takes place on the sound side of Santa Rosa Island behind Flounders.

About 240 people competed in the triathlon in 2015.

Spectator can gather on the pier to watch the swim and then proceed to the transition area in the Casino Beach parking lot to see the finish of bike and run portions of the race.

GOSPORT SAPR

If you are a victim of sexual assault, it is not your fault. Help for victims of sexual assault in the DoD community is a call, click or text away: The SafeHelpline provides live, one-on-one crisis support and information by trained staff. Call: (877) 995-5247; click: www.SafeHelpline.org; or text: 55-247, CONUS; (202) 470-5546, OCONUS (may be extra charges for OCONUS).

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

To contact the NASP 24/7 Victim Advocate, call 449-9231/2. For the Civilian Victim Advocate, call 293-4561. To contact the duty SARC, call the SARC cell at 554-5606.
