NASP Safety Office hosts safety stand-down From NAS Pensacola Public Affairs

Service members and civilian employees assigned to Commander, Navy Region Southeast’s (CNRSE) largest installation attended a May 15 series of presentations designed to increase awareness of summer safety concerns at the Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Mustin Beach Club Ballroom onboard NAS Pensacola. The NAS Pensacola Safety Office-sponsored Safety Stand-down, a series of briefs designed to raise service members’ and civilian employees’ awareness of seasonal safety hazards during the summer months, directly aligns with the Naval Safety Center-driven “101 Critical Days of Summer” campaign, according to NASP Safety Director Jon Winters. “The Department of Defense and Navy historically experienced an increased number of off-duty fatalities and injuries during the summer months,” Winters said. “Presentations such as this (safety stand-down) are de-

signed to ensure we have 100 percent awareness of some of the common mishaps DoD installations see and offer methods of reducing these incidences.” Service members and their families historically participate in numerous recreational activities during Memorial Day weekend and throughout the summer, prompting a DoD-wide effort to mitigate the risk of injury by educating personnel and reinforcing methods of avoiding potential mishaps with the “101 Critical Days of Summer” program. “Safety should be on the forefront of our minds all year and not just during a safety standdown,” NAS Pensacola Commanding Officer Capt. Tim Kinsella Jr. said. “Safety isn’t something you think about just before an activity – you should be thinking about safety before, during and after an activity that is potentially dangerous.” The safety stand-down included a segment on hurricane preparation, something NAS Pensacola Emergency Manager Burt Fenters said is critical as

Navy announces exercise training precautions From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

WASHINGTON (NNS) – Navy released NAVADMIN 108/19 May 10 alerting Sailors and command leadership of the importance of universal training precautions (UTP) to reduce the risk of exercise-related collapse and death during physical exercise, to include the Physical Readiness Test (PRT) and command physical training. As part of military readiness, Sailors are expected to maintain a high level of fitness. With PRT season on-

going throughout the Navy, this guidance is especially critical to ensure the safety of all Sailors. It is imperative for commanders and key leadership personnel, including command fitness leaders (CFL), to foster an exercise culture that promotes UTP, recognizes the early signs of distress and promptly terminates exertional activity when individuals display clear signs of distress. All personnel present during a training evolution or PRT can encourage good performance, but should

NAS Pensacola FFSC, NEX and Navy Lodge observe Military Spouse Appreciation Day From NAS Pensacola Public Affairs

During a two-hour event at the Navy Exchange (NEX) May 10, military spouses were presented Military Spouse Appreciation Day proclamations, various gifts and flowers.

“We felt it extremely important to recognize the military spouses here,” Stacy Leach, an NAS Pensacola (NASP) Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) Work and Family Life Specialist said. “Naval Air Station Pensacola is one of the largest facilities in the south-

east and and there are so many spouses here. Working together with the NEX and Navy Lodge to help celebrate and recognize the job and sacrifices military spouses have in the United States Armed Forces is important to us.” NASP Ombudsman Gloria Nettles also attended the event, and stressed that the role spouses have historically played is crucial to the continued success of the U.S. military. “The spouse has always played a part in ensuring our nation’s service members continue to support and defend our nation,” she said. “Events such as this demonstrate that NAS Pensacola commands are there to provide assistance to not only the service member, but the family they hold dear.” See Spouses on page 2

be on guard for signs that a participant is struggling and be ready to terminate the evolution. The Navy’s PRT portion of the Physical Fitness Assessment is intended as a measure of long-term health and wellness – not of individual athletic prowess. No one should risk their life by pushing through life-threatening conditions during a PRT. Some highlights from the NAVADMIN are listed below, but every Sailor should read the full message.

NAVSCOLEOD holds change of command ceremony Story, photo by Billy P. Martin Naval School Explosive Ordnance Disposal Public Affairs

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. – Naval School Explosive Ordnance Disposal (NAVSCOLEOD) conducted a change of command ceremony at the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Memorial May 10. Capt. Dean Muriano relieved retiring Capt. Charles H. Andrews, a native of Clinton and St. Francisville, La., as the commanding officer of the sole activity within the Department of Defense responsible for training and qualifying basic EOD operators. Capt. Robert Porter, commanding officer, Center of EOD and Diving (CEODD), was the guest speaker and shared his thoughts on the retirement of Andrews after nearly 27 years of honorable naval service. “I am grateful for Capt. Andrews’ friendship and professionalism at the helm of the world’s premier EOD training school,” Porter said. “As a veteran of CEODD and NETC (Naval Education and Training Command) domains, he was instrumental in enhancing the capacity and quality of training at the school house. The Navy’s EOD force

will feel his loss from the active-duty ranks, but we will continue to count on his expertise and passion for the community as he starts a new chapter in his life.” Andrews attended the University of Mississippi on a Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarship, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering and his commission in June 1992. Before Andrews departed, he thanked the command’s personnel for their hard work, passion and continued service. “NAVSCOLEOD staff and students, you should still get chills when you hear the national anthem,” he said. “If you

don’t have hair standing up on the back of your neck when you hear ‘land of the free and home of the brave,’ then you need to find another line of work. The American way of life and every American depends on your willingness to fight. Don’t you ever forget that we will only remain the greatest nation as long as we have individuals willing to sacrifice themselves for a greater cause.” Porter also welcomed Muriano, a native of Boonton, N.J., to the command and expressed his interest in leveraging Muriano’s recent joint knowledge to NAVSCOLEOD training. “As a prior operational group com-

‘hurricane season,’ the five-month period during which tropical systems have historically formed in the Gulf of Mexico, begins June 1. “Getting ready for a hurricane should be a year-long process,” he said. “And stressing the importance of this during an all-hands assembly will hopefully have reminded NAS Pensacola staff to make sure they’re ready for what could happen.” Other briefs during the presentation included water safety, during which boating, swimming, beach activities and other recreational aquatic activities were discussed. Safe practices, such as observing local laws and restrictions when boating, swimming in appropriate areas and dehydration and sunburn as well as ensuring equipment used is maintained properly, were showcased. Florida Gulf Coast Fire and Emergency Services (FGCFES) also reminded attendees of numerous fire safety issues which could occur, citing unattended grilling as one of the chief fire hazards not only occurring during the summer months, but throughout the year. Additional presentations on suicide prevention, occupational safety and traffic considerations were also part of the safety stand-down. Kinsella said that while other safety concerns are important, private motor vehicle-related fatalities and water sport mishaps have remained the top issues associated with summer safety. “Nearly sixty DoD members were killed last year during the ‘101 Critical Days of Summer,’ ” Kinsella said. “Through identifying potential risks, such as the responsible use of alcohol, proper sleep, driving without distraction and having a plan in place for emergencies can help ensure that potential incidents can be avoided. Safety is a top priority and making sure every NAS Pensacola department knows their service members and civilian employees are aware of this standard – both on and off duty – can help us continue to support the commands training our next generation of warfighters.” For more than one hundred years, NAS Pensacola, referred to as the “Cradle of Naval Aviation,” has supported the operational and training missions of tenant commands, including Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC), Naval Aviation Schools Command (NASC), the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT), Marine Aviation Training Support Groups (MATSG) 21 and 23 and is the headquarters for Naval Education and Training Command (NETC).

include: • Lack of appropriate environmental or exercise acclimatization • Recent or current illness, accumulated fatigue or dehydration • Poor baseline conditioning or excess body fat • A predisposing or underlying cardiac condition • Exercise-induced asthma • Sickle cell trait (SCT) • Prior poor performance on the PRT Environmental/external risk factors include: • Exercise at altitude • High ambient temperature and humidity • Use of dietary supplements containing stimulants to include energy shots and drinks If you don’t know if you have SCT, find out. SCT disproportionately affects African-Americans. Commanders are encouraged to exercise a liberal Bad Day PRT policy for those Sailors displaying clear signs of distress during the PRT, allowing Sailors to prioritize personal safety over a PRT score. Sailors who fail to complete any portion of the PRT or demonstrate any early signs of exercise distress are authorized a Bad Day PRT and are required to be examined by medical professionals before attempting the PRT again. Additionally, Sailors must com-

Vol. 83, No. 19

plete the follow-on PRT within seven days following medical clearance, within 45 days of the body composition assessment date and within the current Navy Physical Fitness Assessment cycle. Any Sailors who fail to complete the Bad Day PRT for a second time must be screened by medical professionals for the possibility of a medical waiver or enrollment in the Fitness Enhancement Program (FEP). When Sailors observe an emergency during physical training, rapid recognition of symptoms with a timely and accurate response is critical. Some syndromes result in rapid collapse while others may slowly evolve to an initial conscious collapse. Understanding the syndromes that can lead to exercise-related collapse can assist in guiding treatment. Three syndromes to be aware of are Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), Exertional Collapse Associated with SCT (ECAST) and Exertional Heat Stroke (EHS). Read more about the specifics of these syndromes in the NAVADMIN. Additionally, after participating in the PRT, participants should be observed for no less than 10 minutes after the test, during an active cool-down period. All PRT evolutions shall be monitored by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) trained personnel with an Automated External

Defibrillator (AED) readily available. All physical training evolutions (e.g., command physical training, fitness enhancement program (FEP) or Sailor 360) involving moderate exercise shall occur within the Emergency Medical Service (base or 911) response area of an ambulance equipped with a defibrillator, oxygen and hydration. Finally, all CFLs, first responders, corpsmen and supervisors are strongly recommended to view the videos and other training resources available on the Uniformed Services University’s Consortium for Health and Military Performance (CHAMP) website: • Informational videos for Sailors with SCT, first responders, and sickle cell trait awareness for medical personnel can be found at https://www.hprc-online.org/articles/sickle-cell-trait-awareness. • Guidance on heat injury prevention and treatment can be found at https://www.hprc-online. org/articles/heat-illness-prevention-treatment-and-recovery. • Supplement guidance is available through Operation Supplement Safety, the Department of Defense dietary supplement resource, at https://www.opss.org.

mander, Muriano brings an extraordinary amount of know-how and understanding of what our new EOD techs need to be successful,” Porter said. “I look to leverage his joint expertise to realize this need to ensure we continue to improve upon the renowned reputation that this school-house has earned over the years.” Muriano expressed his gratitude to be part of the EOD family and NAVSCOLEOD team. “NAVSCOLEOD trains some of the best and brightest men and women this nation has to offer,” Muriano said. “They are all the top 10-percenters both physically and intellectually and extremely motivated to be part of the EOD family and serve our nation.” Muriano earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and his commission from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1992. NAVSCOLEOD, a jointly-staffed (Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force) school, provides specialized EOD training to officer and enlisted personnel of all services, both U.S. and international, and to select civilian officials, in the best methods and procedures for the recovery, evaluation, rendering safe, and disposal of ordnance, surface and underwater, conventional and nuclear, employed by the U.S. and other nations.

The politics of marriage:

What Congress might learn from husbands and wives By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist

I

n theory, marriage should be the perfect balance of power between two parties. A husband is the yin to his wife’s yang. Spouses are each other’s “better halves.” Couples are like planets exerting complimentary gravitational pulls, caught in each other’s orbits, circling together in one planetary system. Romantic, right? But in reality, marriage is often an adversarial system, requiring the two parties to regularly negotiate resolutions to conflicts. Sound familiar? All the talk of divisiveness in Washington these days has me wondering if the politicians might learn a few things from how typical husbands and wives manage to make decisions on everything from buying a new couch to whose mother is coming for Thanksgiving. When I met my Navy husband, Francis, he was a bit of a dark horse candidate. He came from

How to submit a commentary

out of nowhere, in a time in my life when I wasn’t looking for a running mate. But much to my surprise, we had one of those goofy “love at first sight” kind of meetings, and after a brief courtship, we tied the knot and I became a military spouse. We’ve spent the last 24 years working together to make our union run smoothly. Thankfully, we found out that we have very similar platforms on big ticket items such as politics, morality, military duty stations, NFL teams, and whether John Candy movies are the best (they are, in case you didn’t know).

About the columnist Lisa Smith Molinari, mother of three, was a military spouse for more than 25 years. Her husband retired from the Navy. Her syndicated column appears in military and civilian newspapers, including Stars and Stripes, and on her blog, www.themeat a nd p ot a t o e s of l i fe.c o m . Certainly, there are some conflicts without an absolute majority opinion. Whether it’s Thai food or pizza, comedy or suspense, lights on or lights off – sometimes a married couple has to hold a special session before they can come to an accord that each party can live with. It certainly isn’t easy. There’s of-

ten lengthy debate, and sometimes filibuster – which, by the way, husbands completely tune out while their minds wander to things like cars, women’s body parts and peanuts. When bargaining on whether to stay home and watch the baseball game on Sunday or go blueberry picking with the family, a wife might try to negotiate a continuing resolution requiring her husband to give her a foot rub on the couch during the seventh inning stretch. While perusing the family’s Netflix watch list on Friday night, a husband might try to logroll the swing voters (a.k.a., the kids) to vote for “Leprechaun: Back 2 Tha Hood” instead of “The Notebook.” During debate over whose in-laws should get first dibs on Christmas, a husband might propagate “fake news” that his mother’s recent attack of gout was arguably life-threatening and therefore entitles her to priority status. Both husbands and wives will make shameless attempts to propagandize the family, promising pork barrel spending on sugared cereals, brand name clothing, expensive electronics and puppies to garner support for their personal agendas. There’s muckraking and mudslinging, dissent and demagoguery, tyranny and totalitarian-

ism. But in the end, even if it takes cloture, husbands and wives do something that our government just can’t seem to do these days: they compromise. Wives give in on golf outings as long as husbands help with dishes. Husbands give in on mani-pedis, as long as wives make meatballs. Whatever the terms of compromise, most married couples do what they need to do to keep their system of government running smoothly, just like Francis and I have done for the last 24 years. That being said, I must confess, there is one thing in our marriage that Francis and I have yet to agree upon. You see, Francis insists that the toilet paper roll must be placed such that the edge of the paper hangs on the side of the roll closest to the wall; whereas, I firmly believe that toilet paper rolls are meant to hang so that the edge of the paper hangs on the side of the roll away from the wall. This is our Cold War, our Berlin Wall, our 38th Parallel. I fear we will never achieve detente, because getting Francis and I to compromise on toilet paper roll placement would take an Act of Congress, and that’s something we know isn’t going to happen any time soon.

MyNavy Family App focuses on stronger families and fleet By Cmdr. Erik Wells Sea Warrior Program (PMW 240) Public Affairs

W

ASHINGTON (NNS) – Navy families navigating military life can now find support by downloading the MyNavy Family application which was released in the days leading up to Military Spouse Appreciation Day (May 10). The free app can be found in the Navy App Locker, https://applocker.navy.mil. The MyNavy Family App was developed as a result of the Navy asking spouses about their experiences and how the Navy could help make it better. Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. John Richardson has often commented on the important role Navy families play in mission success. “To be affirmed and valued in our important role as Navy spouses at the highest level of the Navy organization fosters a greater sense of pride for all that we do in support of our spouses and in support of our nation,” Latisha Motley, a 12-year Navy spouse, said. More than 1,100 spouses across the Navy provided input to develop the app. It focuses on 11 key milestone events within the life of the Navy family. Some of those areas include New Spouse Orientation, Mentorship and

Networking, Special Needs Family Support and Navy Retiree Services. Information from more than 22 different websites is now consolidated within one easy-to-use app. “The app is very intuitive and doesn’t have too many Navy acronyms which allows family members to clearly understand what programs and services are available to them,” Jennifer Summers, a 23-year Navy spouse said. “Whether the app is used by the Sailor or spouse or a family member, they can be assured that the information is accurate.” The Navy’s Sea Warrior Program (PMW 240) produced the app and Tracen Technologies Inc., a company that specializes in integrated mobile and web solutions, developed the software. “This particular app really hit home with me,” David Driegert, assistant program

manager for PMW 240’s mobility program said. “As a dependent and later as a Marine, I understand the importance of making sure the entire family feels included because we all serve, not just the service member.” The app provides valuable information whether someone is new to the Navy or a seasoned spouse who has experienced multiple deployments or permanent change of station moves. There is also a feedback section so suggestions can be incorporated into future updates. “This is only the beginning,” Linda Jackson, Project Manager, Navy Services

Familyline said. The MyNavy Family App supports the Navy Family Framework objective to expand and improve the experience for Navy spouses and families. Other efforts include improving family programs and websites, developing an official MyNavy Family website, providing ombudsman registry access to command leadership spouses and increasing the availability of live webinars and self-directed learning activities. Additionally, next month we will release a new policy allowing reimbursement of up to $500 of spouse state licensure or certifica-

tion costs rising from relocation from one state to another due to a permanent change of station move. Future updates of the app will provide a more interactive user experience, and a companion website is in the works. “We all serve,” Jackson said. “The Sailor, the spouse and the children. The MyNavy Family App is a tool for all of us to create stronger families and a safer nation.” Get more information about the Navy from U.S. Navy Facebook or Twitter.

Navy jet flyover kick starts NASCAR Gander RV 400

By 1st Lt. Pawel Puczko Chief of Naval Air Training Two Navy T-45 Goshawk trainer jets flew over Dover International Speedway to help kick off the NASCAR Gander RV 400 May 6 in honor of Na-

tional Military Appreciation Month. The jets screamed over the one-mile concrete oval race track just as the national anthem came to a close to the delight of thousands of cheering spectators below.

“We are always honored to salute our men and women in uniform and very thankful the T-45 team was able to support our 50th anniversary with today’s flyover,” Gary Camp, assistant vice president of Marketing and Communications for Dover International Speedway, said. “The flyover always gets our fans pumped up just before the big race.” Mission Commander Marine Corps Capt. Richard Dunlap led the jets from Training Squadron (VT) 9 at Naval Air Station (NAS) Meridian, Miss., to Dover to perform the flyover. “What an incredible opportunity to represent Naval Aviation, and to be able to assist in providing the fans and drivers the atmosphere they were looking for,” Dunlap said. The Goshawk is a carrier-ca-

pable jet aircraft that can reach speeds of more than 645 mph. It is used to train naval aviators in the advanced phase of jet training. A flyover, such as the one performed at this event, is more than the few seconds experienced by spectators. Preauthorized by the Navy Office of Community Outreach in Millington, Tenn., every flyover requires careful consideration and planning, and must adhere to strict FAA and naval aviation safety guidelines. It also requires significant work on the ground. Each training squadron has a team of maintainers who meticulously inspect and prepare the aircraft to ensure they are safe and flight ready. During the event, a ground crew maintains radio contact with the pilots to ensure they arrive over the target

at a precise time, much as if on a tactical mission. VT-9 is one of 17 training squadrons across the five training air wings of Chief of Naval Air Training, which is responsible for all initial flight training for the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. While the training mission takes priority, events such as nationallevel flyovers offer an opportunity to demonstrate the excitement and precision of naval aviation to the American public while also achieving valuable training. CNATRA, headquartered in Corpus Christi, trains the world’s finest combat quality aviation professionals, delivering them at the right time, in the right numbers, and at the right cost to a naval force that is where it matters, when it matters.

U.S. Navy hospital ship Comfort to deploy in response to humanitarian crisis in Latin America From U.S. Southern Command Public Affairs MIAMI (NNS) – The U.S. Navy hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) is scheduled to deploy in June from Naval Station Norfolk to the Caribbean, Central America and South America to conduct humanitarian medical assistance missions in support of regional partners and in response to the regional impacts of political and economic crises in Venezuela.

During a five-month humanitarian mission, U.S. military medical personnel will work alongside partners to provide medical assistance to communities based on needs identified by host-nation health ministries, and help relieve pressure on host nation medical systems in countries hosting Venezuelans who have fled the country’s crisis. Countries hosting the USNS COMFORT during the mission will be announced at a later time. “The USNS COMFORT represents

our enduring promise to our partners in the Western Hemisphere – our shared neighborhood,” U.S. Navy Adm. Craig Faller, commander of U.S. Southern Command, which will oversee the deployment, said. “U.S. Southern Command is committed to the region in support of our Caribbean and Latin American partners, as well as displaced Venezuelans who continue to flee the brutal oppression of the former Maduro regime and its interlocking, man-made political, economic and humanitarian

crises.” This marks the hospital ship’s seventh deployment to the region since 2007, second deployment to the Western Hemisphere in the last six months, and reflects the United States’ enduring promise of friendship, partnership, and solidarity with the Americas and the people of Venezuela. The USNS COMFORT operation is part of the deepening of our engagement in the region under the health pillar of the U.S.-Caribbean 2020 Strategy.

Pace naval officer earns wings

onboard NAS Whiting Field By Lt.j.g. Drake Greer NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs Office

E

ns. Jordan Davis, a graduate of Pace High School, earned his Wings of Gold at Naval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) May 10. Growing up in a Navy family Davis has lived in Jacksonville, Pensacola, Seattle, Key West and Virginia Beach before finally settling in Pace, Fla. When Davis was only two, his mother remarried a young Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) Lamar Bradley, who rose through the ranks to become a chief petty officer. He then went on to become a Limited Duty Officer and retired as a lieutenant commander in 2009. “We moved here Jan. 2007, and it’s been the place I’ve known the

longest,” Davis recalled. Davis attended Pace High School, but wasn’t certain he’d join the Navy until his junior year. “I always knew I wanted to do something important,” Davis said. While Davis said his mother is his biggest influence, his stepdad’s hints and advice were what led him to join the Navy. He attended the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md., but wasn’t certain about aviation. “I was considering maybe serving in the United States Marine Corps or maybe special

ops (operations), but aviation was always at the top of the list.” During his time at the academy, Davis was the captain of the boxing team as a two-time brigade champion. He was national champion his senior year and commissioned in May 2017 with a degree in mechanical engineering. Following graduation, Davis reported to Aviation Preflight Indoctrination at NAS Pensacola for academic and physiological training. Upon completion he reported to NAS Whiting Field to fly the T-6B Texan

with Training Squadron Six (VT-6) for primary flight training. After successful completion, he selected helicopters, or rotary, for his advanced training. This meant he transferred to the South airfield at Whiting where he flew the TH-57 Sea Ranger with Helicopter Training Squadron Eighteen (HT-18). Reflecting about his favorite parts of flight school, Davis said, “every day you get to do something new and exciting. It’s never boring. Even when it’s the same thing, it’s something different. You could be flying the same flight, but there are so many things that make it dif-

ferent – just different weather or a different instructor, there’s never a lack of stuff to do. (You get) a real sense of satisfaction, especially at the end of the week when you look back and see what you’ve accomplished.” His advice for other potential pilots is, “know what you’re getting into. Pilots always try and make everything look easy. It’s a lot of work but we always try and look cool.” For the younger Pace residents, he recommended “Do math. STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) is important.” Davis was pinned with his wings of gold

by his mother Sylvia Bradley and joined on stage by friends and family including retired Lt. Cmdr. Lamar Bradley, Keith Davis, Jennifer Davis, Nicholas Davis, retired Marine Col. Christopher Holzworth, Shelly Holzworth, Christopher Holzworth and Grayson Holzworth. Following this assignment, Davis will fly the MH-60R Sea Hawk in San Diego. He’s excited to see where it will take him. “I’ve visited but never lived in San Diego,” Davis said. “It feels like I’ve lived around the same places for the past 12 years, so I’m looking forward to someplace new.”

ermites. That single word should send a shiver up your spine. If it doesn’t, here’s a phrase that will: “It’s termite swarming season.” And they are swarming in our area right now. Here on the Gulf Coast, we are home to several species of the destructive house-eating insects. In the spring, established colonies of termites send out reproductive alates or “swarmers,” so named since they can cover a home in thousands. When termites swarm they are drawn to lights, many times the porch or security lights of a home. Shedding their wings, the termites find their way into the structure. If undiscovered, they will eat wood until it is just a lightweight shell. Frequently the damage goes unnoticed until it is severe – even support beams can become as light as balsa wood, eventually causing structures to fail. Unfortunately, Gulf Breeze and Pensacola are home to an especially devastating species of termite, the Formosan. An established Formosan colony – consisting of millions of workers, soldiers and reproductives – can eat up to a pound of wood a day. Originally from mainland China, Formosans have been established in the United States for about 50 years. They have been found in Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi, North and South Carolina and Tennessee. The larger colony size – several million termites vs. several hundred thousand termites for native subterranean termite species – makes Formosans a greater threat. They are vigorous, aggressive and a greater threat than native termites, causing more structure damage at a faster rate. Formosans chew through asphalt, plaster, plastics

Word Search: ‘Insects’

What is bugging you may cost you thousands of dollars. Common name: Formosan subterranean termite. Scientific name: Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki. Either way you say it, these pests are expensive trouble – and found in this area. Reproducing Formosan termites called alates or “swarmers” fly from the nest on calm evenings to create a new colony. During their dispersal flights, they are drawn to lights – such as porch or security lights – and the winged insects in the thousands can cover a structure, shed their wings and begin looking for a food source – the wood in your home.

and even through copper and lead sheeting. When they attack a home, they use saliva, dirt and wood to create nests called cartons. Mud tubes leading from the ground are a telltale sign of a termite infestation, but once established, Formosans can live without soil contact indefinitely. Queens can produce more than 1,000 eggs a day; soldiers constitute 10 percent or so of a colony. Termites, or just ants? Both termites and ants have two sets of wings, but ant wings are different sizes; all four termite wings are the same size. Ants have elbowed antennae and narrowed waists, termites have short, straight antennae and thick waists. What you can do: Pressure-treated wood, which contains preservatives such as creosote, pentachlorophenol or copper arsenate, needs to be used where a structure comes in contact with soil. Formosans do not like to eat pressure-treated wood but they frequently travel the treated wood to find and destroy untreated wood. Any moisture problem areas – whether caused by roof or air conditioning issues must be corrected.

Roof gutters should carry water as far away from your home’s foundation as possible, in order to deny the insects easy access to moisture. Treatment: Termite fortifications include injecting chemical barriers, called “trenching,” into the soil around your home. A number of effective termiticides are used by professionals which kill the insects through contact. Holes are drilled into areas which otherwise cannot be reached – under concrete slabs, for example – and the chemicals injected. Pre-construction treatment of the foundation is the best prevention. Baits are also used to check for the presence of termites and to identify the species. Plastic spikes containing a bait are placed at intervals around the home’s foundation and inspected regularly. When termites are discovered, the bait station is replaced with one containing a sophisticated poison, which is carried by workers back to the nest. Do not hesitate to contact a licensed pest control professional if you suspect termite damage. If termites are at work in your home, the clock is already ticking.

CIWT civilian, Navy veteran commissions son From Center for Information Warfare Training Public Affairs

N

EWPORT, R.I. (NNS) – A civilian employee at the Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT) in Pensacola commissioned his son as a naval officer during a ceremony at the Navy’s Officer Candidate School (OCS) May 3. Mark Stephens serves as a program analyst and job duty task analysis/training requirements review manager at CIWT. The retired Navy chief warrant officer 4 served on active duty for more than 29 years. During the OCS graduation ceremony for his son, Scott, he acted as commissioning officer and delivered the oath of office to his son. “It was an exceptionally wonderful moment for me to actually swear my son in as a commissioned officer,” Mark Stephens said. “Not many people get the opportunity to do that with their children.”

Prior to commissioning, Scott Stephens served as an enlisted air traffic controller. During his three-year enlisted career, he advanced to the rank of second class petty officer and earned the enlisted air, surface and information warfare specialist qualifications. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminology from the University of West Florida in 2012. “I am happy and proud of my son’s decision to become an officer,” Mark Stephens said. “My son had expressed a desire to become a Navy officer long before he enlisted. I think that was his

tion to continue the tradition. “I’ve always been around the military, so it seemed like a natural path. I guess it was in my blood,” Scott Stephens said. “It has always been my dream to become a Navy officer and follow the family tradition of serving my country.” The father and son will be reunited in Pensacola, where Scott Stephens will report onboard Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola for training as a naval aviator. While being an officer has always been his dream, Scott Stephens credits his time as an enlisted member of the aviation community with his decision to become a pilot. “When deployed, I did a lot of flying with the Marines as a member of the Marine Augmentation Unit/Supporting

Arms Team, and really loved it,” Scott Stephens said. “I was also preparing the daily hot sheets and briefing the aircrews, so I got to interact with many of the pilots and NFOs onboard. They gave me a lot of encouragement when applying for OCS.” Before commissioning his son, Mark Stephens shared advice from his time as a naval officer that he believed would help Scott Stephens lead a successful career. “Always be professional. Work hard, play hard, make time for yourself and family and always be firm, fair and friendly with the Sailors that serve under you,” Stephens said. With four schoolhouse commands, two detachments and training sites throughout the United States and Japan, CIWT is recognized as Naval Education and Training Command’s top learning center for the past three years. Training more than 21,000 students every year, CIWT delivers trained information warfare professionals to the Navy and joint services. CIWT also offers more than 200 courses for cryptologic technicians, intelligence specialists, information systems technicians, electronics technicians and officers in the information warfare community.

ments that have flown over our city: Spain, France, England, the Confederacy and the United States. The scope of Fiesta was expanded in the late 1980’s to include fund-raising events. The Pensacola Crawfish Festival in the spring and the Pensacola Seafood Festival in the fall are both three-day events held in the historic district of downtown Pensacola. The success of these weekend events has enabled Fiesta to invest in local organizations that research and promote Pensacola’s history. Throughout the 68 years of the Fiesta’s history, the mission has remained the same: “To celebrate our heritage, promote tourism and build pride in Pensacola through festive activities which enhance the quality of life in our Community.” Today Fiesta mobilizes community support for its year-round events, contributes funds to the promotion of Pensacola’s history, while providing exciting entertainment and events for the entire community to enjoy.

The annual Fiesta of Five Flags is coming back to Pensacola May 29 through June 7. Taking its name from the five flags that have flown over Pensacola in its history, the fiesta elevates the city’s rich history and culture for 10 days of Pensacola pride. In the late 1940’s, a group of community leaders began to develop the idea of an annual summer festival to promote tourism in the Pensacola area. That idea developed into the Fiesta of Five Flags Celebration, and it may have been the first community attempt to recognize and develop tourism as an industry. Calvin Todd, President of the Pensacola Chamber of Commerce in 1949, proposed the concept of combining a historical theme with tourism promotion. Thus, the focus of Fiesta was based upon the founding of Pensacola, America’s oldest city, by Don Tristan de Luna in 1559. It would also be a salute to our history under the flags of five govern-
