Gosport - May 22, 2015

Tall ship Elcano returns to Pensacola ... Spain’s naval training ship, the Juan Sebastian de Elcano, is scheduled to arrive at the Port of Pensacola at 9 a.m. May 27 for a five-day visit as part of the annual Fiesta of Five Flags celebration. The Elcano is a four-masted topsail schooner. Standing at 113 meters, it is the third largest tall ship in the world. The Elcano last visited Pensacola in 2009 as part of the city’s 450th anniversary celebration of the 1559 arrival of Spanish explorer Don Tristan de Luna, marking the first American settlement in Pensacola.

Memorial Day services scheduled

By Janet Thomas Gosport Staff Writer

For those with military ties, Memorial Day is not a time for celebration.

The federal holiday, which honors Americans who have given their lives in service of their country, is observed on the last Monday of May (May 25 in 2015).

Visiting the graves of loved ones is one of the traditional ways to observe the holiday.

Every year at Barrancas National Cemetery, members of the Boy Scouts of America Gulf Coast Council and other youth organizations to place miniature flags in front of grave markers for Memorial Day. This year, the grave-decorating project is scheduled for May 23.

Another Memorial Day tradition involves displaying the flag of the United States at half-staff from dawn until noon and then raising it to full staff until sunset.

Formerly known as Decoration Day, the holiday was originally enacted to honor Union and Confederate soldiers following the American Civil War.

After World War I, it was extended to honor Americans who have died in all wars.

The preferred name for the holiday gradually changed to Memorial Day, and it was declared the official name by federal law in 1967. The Uniform Holidays Bill, which was passed in by Congress in 1968, moved Memorial Day from the traditional May 30 date to the last Monday in May. Local events are also scheduled to observe the holiday. Here are some details: • The Veterans Memorial Park Foundation of Pensacola will present its annual Memorial Day observance at 1 p.m. May 24 at Veterans Memorial Park on Bayfront Parkway in downtown Pensacola.

The guest speaker will be retired Marine Lt. Gen. Duane Thiessen, president and chief executive officer of the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation.

Butch Hansen, president of the foundation, will be master of ceremonies and the presentation will feature the NAS

Fundraising in full swing for 2015 Pensacola area Navy Birthday Ball

By MC2(SW) Kaitlyn C. Boland NOMTC PAO

The 2015 Navy Ball Committee, comprised of service members from commands across the Pensacola area, has been hard at work planning this year’s 240th Navy Birthday Ball, to include conducting a number of fundraising events designed to help offset some of the costs of attending the 2015 Pensacola-area Navy Birthday Ball for military members.

The Navy Medicine Operational Training Center (NMOTC) is the host command for this year’s ball, which will be held Oct. 3 at the National

Naval Aviation Museum aboard NAS Pensacola.

NMOTC’s Naval Aerospace Medical Institute’s (NAMI) Aviation Experimental Psychologist Lt. Cmdr. Tatana Olson said these fundraisers are invaluable in offsetting the cost of tickets to the event.

“We are working very hard to ensure this event not only captures the rich history and heritage of the United States Navy over the past 240 years, but that it is an event accessible to all Sailors, regardless of rank,” Olson said.

Olson stressed that the Navy

would increase cumulative contract value to $7,788,880.

Work is expected to be completed by May 2017.

Small businesses play a vital role in the American economy – employing half of the country’s workforce, creating nearly two out of every three new American jobs, and often being the source of the next American innovation. NavFac Southeast strives to meet its goals building on its success by providing con-

tract opportunities to small businesses.

“This is an example of an exceptional match between the Navy’s often unique requirements and the professionalism, craftsmanship and responsiveness that our small business vendors bring to the table,” said Nelson Smith, NavFac Southeast small business deputy.

“Every small business award is a win for the taxpayers, the nation and the Navy.”

Each year NavFac establishes target goals for small business, small disadvantaged business, historically underutilized business zone small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, and womenowned small business categories. Smith explained that the maximum practicable utilization of small business concerns is a matter of national interest with both social and economic benefits.

CNATT hosts leadership and training workshop

By Rai Lopez CNATT PAO

The Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT) headquarters on board Naval Air Station Pensacola hosted a leadership and training workshop May 12-14 for Navy and Marine Corps commanding officers (COs) and officers in charge (OICs) within the CNATT domain.

The three-day workshop included representatives from all 27 CNATT learning site locations across the United States, Hawaii and Japan and provided opportunities for the exchange of information, panel discussions and open forums between the group and CNATT headquarters staff.

“The workshop brought together CNATT leadership to collaborate on ideas for best practices for

aviation technical training” said CNATT Commanding Officer, Capt. Katherine Erb. “We focused specifically on how CNATT can do our part in developing the force of the future.”

According to Erb, although there was a variety of experience levels from the seasoned to the new, to the not-yet reported on board, the CNATT domain COs and OICs collaborated, shared experiences and discussed their visions for potential initiatives and priorities for training the aviation Sailor of the future.

In addition to presentations from the CNATT headquarters staff, the workshop included guest speakers from commands supporting the CNATT mission.

Memorial Day weekend: make it a safe one From NASP Safety Department

Memorial Day from page 1

Pensacola Color Guard and a bugler.

The public is invited.

Bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on.

For more information, call 434-6119 or go to www.veteransmemorialparkpensacola.com.

• The Naval Air Station Pensacola Memorial Day service is scheduled for 9 a.m. May 25 at the Aviation Memorial Chapel.

This year’s program will include a performance of patriotic music by the NATTC Choir as well as honor guard flag and rifle salutes. The keynote speaker will be NAS Pensacola Commanding Officer Capt.

Keith Hoskins.

The annual event is a cooperative effort between the Gulf Coast Veterans Advocacy Council, Barrancas National Cemetery and Naval Air Station Pensacola.

NAS Pensacola is conducting a safety stand-down before the Memorial Day weekend to increase awareness of local and seasonal hazards. This is ultimately to prevent mishaps that are more likely in the summer.

NASP Safety is doing this now to get the message out before base personnel are focused on their Memorial Day travel and recreational activities.

“I want to touch on a few of the issues here,” said NASP Safety Manager Jon Winters in a recent e-mail. “Traffic mishaps continue to be the biggest threat for death and serious injury to our people. From observation of on base driving and from review of recent mishaps reports, it is clear that many of us have gotten complacent and need to refocus on our driving.”

Winters urges base personnel to: • Pay attention to the speed limits on base.

• Stop at the stop signs and look both ways, not just left as you accelerate past the stop sign to make a right.

• Watch out for what the other guy is doing. Be prepared for his mistakes. Having right of way won’t help you in a collision.

“Don’t let yourself be tempted to check that text that just came in or to take your focus off driving to adjust your navigation system. You put yourself and others at an unacceptable risk when you do that,” he said.

“Stop where it is safe to read the text and check your navigation.”

Along with the warm weather, more people are riding motorcycles and there is a somewhat sudden increase in serious or fatal mishaps. The mishaps are from both rider

careless/reckless driving and from other drivers not seeing them.

“We all need to realize that our brains allow us to look at oncoming motorcycles without seeing them,” Winters notes. “So no kidding, check twice. It doesn’t take an extra second. And for you riders, you don't know which one of those cars is the one that is going to drive into you, but one of them is, so you have to be prepared for each of them.”

Water safety: Drowning is the next highest cause of fatal mishaps. There have already been several on the Northwest Florida Gulf beaches this year.

“Ensure your family members can swim well and when in a boat, wear a life jacket.

Check conditions before you dive in,” Winters said. “While not as severe, heat injuries, sunburn and sports injuries, particularly ankle sprains are more common this time of year. Stay hydrated, take time to get acclimated to the heat. Use sun screen, don’t try to get a week’s worth of sun in one day.

Check the field surface conditions to avoid the ankle injuries.”

Firearms: “We all make mistakes, but with firearms, mistakes can be catastrophic,” Winters said. “Don’t let yourself be one mistake away from a firearms mishap. Always check to ensure your firearms are not loaded.”

A tendency is to swing a weapon in the direction we are looking, even if it is when we are talking to a friend. Train yourself not to do that. Keep your finger out of the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot, and you won’t unconsciously pull the trigger. Store firearms so that people that should not have access to them do not have access to them.

Alcohol: If you are going to drink, drink responsibly. The likelihood of all the potential mishaps increases with use of alcohol.

Additional traffic safety notes: Speeding can be defined as driving in excess of the posted speed limit or driving too fast for given weather conditions. It greatly reduces the driver’s ability to slow a vehicle when necessary due to the increased distance needed. Speeding also decreases the time available to steer safely around an unexpected curve, vehicle, or hazardous object in the roadway. In school zones or neighborhoods, that can include a child or an animal running across the road. Driving above the posted speed limit or speeding in bad weather conditions not only increases the probability that a motorist will be involved in a crash but it puts the driver, their passengers, other drivers and pedestrians at risk.

“We have a very high volume of pedestrians aboard installations such as NAS Pensacola and (NASP’s) CID Corry Station,” said NASP Safety Department’s Lt. Grant Smith. “Drivers should stay alert, watch for and obey all posted speed limits so that we’re not putting any of our Sailors, Marines, civilians or visitors at risk.

“Vehicles must stop for pedestrians in a crosswalk until they have crossed the entirety of the street; they have the right of way as well as personnel formations with posted road guards. Drivers need to remember that there is a reason posted speed limits exist aboard our installations. The roadways can be a dangerous place and the speed limits are designed to protect everyone – drivers, passengers, pedestrians – everyone.”

Wastewater disposal on base: Be mindful with fats, oils, grease From NavFac SE, NASP PWD

Recently, the NAS Pensacola Public Works Department (PWD) working in conjunction with Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA), has reported an increase in plumbing pipe blockages as well as lift station repairs due to inappropriate items being placed in the drains and discarded in the toilets. The following list of “do” and “don’t” suggestions will help the NASP community prevent costly repairs and keep our utilities system healthy: • DO: Place liquid fats, oils and grease (FOG) into a jar or container with a lid or double bag

and then dispose in the trash can or dumpster. Wipe down greasy pots and pans with a paper towel prior to washing in the sink or dishwasher.

• DO: Place a wastebasket in the bathroom to dispose of solid wastes. Disposable diapers and personal hygiene products do not belong in the sewer system.

• DO: Use a strainer over the drain in your sink, tub and shower. Then, empty the collected material into the garbage.

• DO: Use the manufacturer’s recommended amount of detergent for washing in the kitchen or laundry. The average household uses three times more detergent than manufacturers recommend

Navy Ball from page 1

Ball Committee is a private organization that relies solely on fundraising efforts and the support of the local community to plan and execute this event. In addition to the fundraising events listed below, Navy Ball Committee members will be conducting food sales every month and a golf tournament is being planned for September.

“These fundraisers will go a long way towards keeping the costs low for tickets, transportation, and childcare,” Olson said.

“We don't want any of these things to stand in the way of someone’s desire to attend the ball. This event is really a celebration of our Sailors for our Sailors.”

Upcoming Navy Ball Committee fundraising events include: • “Beanbags for Bluejackets” tonight, May 22, at Gallery Night in downtown Pensacola in honor of Military Apprecia-

for washing dishes and clothes.

When these detergents enter the sewer system, they hold large amounts of fats, oils and grease in suspension making cleaning and treating the wastewater difficult and more costly. In addition to saving money on buying detergents, by cutting down on the amount of detergent used, there will also be less phosphate in the environment to cause the growth of algae in water.

• DON’T: pour fats, oils and grease from cooking down the sink drain. If your pots and pans are just oily or greasy, don’t rinse them; wipe them out with a paper towel.

• DON’T: pour sour milk

Don’t talk to my Sailor about doing any home repairs

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist

A

hoy, fellow military wives.

Are you tethered to a Soldier who doesn’t know how to hang a ceiling fan?

Does your Airman plead ignorance when it’s time to program the remote?

Are you anchored to a Sailor who can’t assemble the baby’s crib?

Does your Marine call the plumber when the faucet leaks?

If you answered, “Aye,” to any of these questions, then I’ve got the scuttlebutt for you.

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful Sailor’s wife who got stuck doing all the home repairs …

More than two decades ago, I left home to marry a Navy man. A true greenhorn, I assumed that all military men were “manly” types who tinkered with cars, hooked up stereos, and fixed stuff around the house.

Shiver me timbers, was I off course.

How to submit a commentary

For the first few tours of duty, we rented or lived on base, where management was primarily responsible for repairs. So my misconceptions about my husband’s fix-it skills persisted.

It wasn’t until we bought our first home in 1998 that I realized – not only did my husband have no fix-it skills, he also didn’t feel an ounce of embarrassment if I handled the bulk of the yard work and home repairs.

In denial at first, I believed he would change as the demands of our growing family increased.

I decided to set a good example, and bought a manual on DIY repairs. With a baby on my hip and a toddler at my feet, I replaced the kitchen faucet. I hung new ceiling fans. I assembled the crib. I aerated the lawn. I replaced the sprinkler heads. I

She and her family are stationed at Naval Station Newport in Rhode Island. jig sawed my son’s soapbox derby car.

The feeling of accomplishment was so exhilarating, I forgot to notice that my husband hadn’t joined in my

DIY efforts. He even stood idly by as I embarked on a two month project to build shelving along one 15-foot wall of our playroom. I couldn’t see past the sawdust to notice that he was conveniently absent.

One night while simultaneously nursing our third baby and chopping onions for dinner, I asked my husband to assemble a new tabletop grill.

Half an hour later, he sat looking cross-eyed at the instructions. “I swear Honey, you could strand me on a deserted island with this thing, and I’d never figure it out.”

A few days later, I was relaying my frustrations to another Navy wife while we watched our children on the playground. Expecting compassion, I was surprised when she told me … it was all my fault.

At first I thought that she didn’t understand my predicament, because her aviator husband was mechanically inclined; whereas, my husband was still uncertain about the term “Phillip’s head” and referred to the hardware store as “The Haunted House.”

However, she explained: “Believe it or not, I’m no stranger to a tool box, but that’s my little secret. Try being helpless,” she whispered. “Trust me, it works.”

But, by that time, my husband had already seen me chop onions, nurse a baby, and assemble a grill all at the same time.

There was no going back.

And now, as a salty ol’ Navy wife in my “roaring forties,” I’m still the one who programs the remote and assembles the IKEA dressers.

It might be too late for me, but if this is your maiden voyage as a milspouse, there’s still time.

You may be perfectly capable of skippering your own boat, but don’t go overboard.

Stow those fix-it skills in your ditty bag and play the role of landlubber Ginger or first mate Gilligan while hubby takes the helm. He’ll figure out how to replace the toilet tank float or fix the cabinet hinge in no time.

Be ye in a Navy port or on an Army fort, heed this whale of a tale and your DIY projects will be smooth sailing.

Internet social networking risks From http://www.fbi.gov

I

nternet-based social networking sites have created a revolution in social connectivity.

However, con artists, criminals, and other dishonest actors are exploiting this capability for nefarious purposes.

There are primarily two tactics used to exploit online social networks. In practice, they are often combined.

1. Computer savvy hackers who specialize in writing and manipulating computer code to gain access or install unwanted software on your computer or phone.

2. Social or human hackers who specialize in exploiting personal connections through social networks. Social hackers, sometimes referred to as “social engineers,” manipulate people through social interactions (in person, over the phone, or in writing).

Humans are a weak link in cyber security, and hackers and social manipulators know this.

They try to trick people into getting past security walls. They design their actions to appear harmless and legitimate.

Falling for an online scam or computer hack could be damaging for an individual victim as well as the organization the victim works for. Such risks include: Vulnerability of social networking sites. Social networking sites are Internet-based services that allow people to communicate and share information with a group.

Risks: Once information is posted to a social networking site, it is no longer private. The more information you post, the more vulnerable you may become.

Even when using high security settings, friends or websites may inadvertently leak your information.

Personal information you share could be used to conduct attacks against you or your associates. The more information shared, the more likely someone could impersonate you and trick one of your friends into sharing personal information, downloading malware, or providing access to restricted sites.

Predators, hackers, business competitors, and foreign state actors troll social networking sites looking for information or people to target for exploitation.

Information gleaned from social networking sites may be used to design a specific attack that does not come by way of the social networking site.

Tactics: Baiting – Someone gives you

a USB drive or other electronic media that is preloaded with malware in the hope you will use the device and enable them to hack your computer.

Do not use any electronic storage device unless you know its origin is legitimate and safe. Scan all electronic media for viruses before use.

Click-jacking – Concealing hyperlinks beneath legitimate clickable content which, when clicked, causes a user to unknowingly perform actions, such as downloading malware, or sending your ID to a site. Numerous click-jacking scams have employed “Like” and “Share” buttons on social networking sites. Disable scripting and iframes in whatever Internet browser you use. Research other ways to set your browser options to maximize security.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) – Malicious code is injected into a benign or trusted website. A stored XSS attack is when malicious code is permanently stored on a server; a computer is compromised when requesting the stored data. A reflected XSS attack is when a person is tricked into clicking on a malicious link; the injected code travels to the server then reflects the attack back to the victim’s browser. The computer deems the code is from a “trusted” source.

Turn off “HTTP TRACE” support on all webservers. Research additional ways to prevent becoming a victim of XSS. Doxing – Publicly releasing a person’s identifying information including full name, date of birth, address, and pictures typically retrieved from social networking site profiles.

Be careful what information you share about yourself, family, and friends (online, in print, and in person).

Elicitation – The strategic use of conversation to extract information from people without giving them the feeling they are being interrogated. Be aware of elicitation tactics and the way social engineers try to obtain personal information.

Pharming – Redirecting users from legitimate websites to fraudulent ones for the purpose of extracting confidential data.

(E.g.: mimicking bank websites.)

Watch out for website URLs that use variations in spelling or

domain names, or use “.com” instead of “.gov”, for example.

Type a website’s address rather than clicking on a link.

Example: Most computer infections come from websites.

Just visiting a website can expose your computer to malware even if you do not download a file or program. Often legitimate sites may be unknowingly infected.

Websites with information on popular celebrities or current sensational news items are frequently hijacked by criminals, or criminals may create such websites to lure victims to them.

Phishing – Usually an e-mail that looks like it is from a legitimate organization or person, but is not and contains a link or file with malware. Phishing attacks typically try to snag any random victim. Spear phishing attacks target a specific person or organization as their intended victim.

Do not open e-mail or e-mail attachments or click on links sent from people you do not know. If you receive a suspicious e-mail from someone you know, ask them about it before opening it.

Example: In March 2011, hackers sent two spear phishing e-mails to a small group of employees at security firm, RSA. They only needed one employee to open an infected file and launch the malware. The mal-

ware downloaded information from RSA that then helped the hackers learn how to defeat RSA’s security token.

Phreaking – Gaining unauthorized access to telecommunication systems. Do not provide secure phone numbers that provide direct access to a private branch exchange or through the public branch exchange to the public phone network.

Scams – Fake deals that trick people into providing money, information, or service in exchange for the deal. If it sounds too good to be true, it is most likely a scam.

Cybercriminals use popular events and news stories as bait for people to open infected email, visit infected websites, or donate money to bogus charities.

Spoofing – Deceiving computers or computer users by hiding or faking one’s identity.

E-mail spoofing utilizes a sham e-mail address or simulates a genuine e-mail address. IP spoofing hides or masks a computer’s IP address.

Preventive measures at work: “Defense in depth” – use multiple layers of security throughout the computer network.

• Identify ways you have lost data in the past, and mitigate those threats. Educate employees about those threats and how

to change their behavior, if necessary, to prevent future loss.

• Constantly monitor data movement on your network.

• Establish policies and procedures for intrusion detection systems on company networks.

• Establish policies about what company information can be shared on blogs or personal social web pages. Enforce the policy.

• Educate employees about how their own online behavior could impact the company.

• Provide yearly security training.

• Ask employees to report suspicious incidents as soon as possible.

• Additional preventive measures: Do not store any information you want to protect on any device that connects to the Internet.

Always use high security settings on social networking sites, and be very limited in the personal information you share.

Monitor what others are posting about you on their online discussions. Use anti-virus and firewall software. Keep them and your browser, and operating systems patched and updated.

Change your passwords periodically, and do not reuse old passwords. Do not use the same password for more than one system or service. For example, if someone obtains the password for your e-mail, can they access your online banking information with the same password?

Do not post anything that might embarrass you later, or that you don’t want strangers to know.

Verify those you correspond with. It is easy for people to fake identities over the Internet.

Do not automatically download, or respond to content on a website or in an e-mail. Do not click on links in e-mail messages claiming to be from a social networking site. Instead go to the site directly to retrieve messages.

Blue Wahoos NASWF baseball camp

By Ens. Margaret Gresham NASWF Public Affairs

aseball is as American as apple pie. The great pastime merged with the military May 9 to create an opportunity for Naval Air Station Whiting Field’s (NASWF) children at the installation’s baseball fields.

Pensacola’s own minor league baseball team the Blue Wahoos hosted a baseball camp on the NASWF baseball fields as part of their community outreach. The team showed their support for area service members with the baseball camp for military families. The camp hosted nearly 40 children ranging in age from 5-13.

The Cincinnati Reds Double “A” affiliate brought a staff of eight including three players; Carlos Gonzalez, Kyle McMyne and Jacob Johnson.

While the three players worked specifically with the children, Blue Wahoos President Jonathon Griffith directed the activities which included; stretching, running, batting, pitching, fielding and fundamental exercises. At the end, the children were able to get their glove, baseball cap, or Blue Wahoo T-shirt signed by the three volunteer players and Kazoo, the Wahoos’ mascot.

Griffith felt it was important to reach out to the military in this way. “Our goal of community outreach is to improve the lives of the families in Pensacola and the surrounding areas,” Griffith said. “We want our players to share their knowledge and love of baseball with these children.

Pensacola thrives off the military community and sustenance they provide so it is especially

important that we help those families associated with the military and give back to them our time and support.”

The camp was broken up into three different stations so each player could focus on a smaller group and give each child some individual attention and critiques. The children were at each station for approximately 20 minutes before switching to the next. The first station involved throwing where the children practiced tossing the ball back and forth to one another then pitching to McMyne, who was acting as the catcher. The second station entailed mostly running where the children fo-

cused on running through the four bases and then the best technique to steal bases as Gonzalez played pitcher. The last station was one of the children’s favorites because they were able to practice hitting techniques off a tee. Johnson gave each child tips and tricks to improve their swing and stance.

“The hitting station was the most fun because I got to practice my swing and I could see how I was getting better with each round,” nine-year-old Ethan said. “I got some great feedback from the Jacob, like to always aim for the top of the ball, and keep a strong front foot when I stepped to swing. I got to talk first hand with him and that was cool.”

This event was more about the children than anything, it is always great to participate in community outreach but the happiness seen on the children’s faces was immeasurable. All of the parents were getting involved and could be heard encouraging their children from the sidelines.

“Events like these let the children connect with local professionals and makes them feel like they too are part of the

team,” stated Kevin Jackson, who works at Whiting Field.

“Baseball, or any sport for that matter, teaches teamwork, how to win and loose with dignity, sportsmanship and respect. I would definitely bring my child to another event like this one.”

The players divided the younger children and the older ones for most of the stations.

This allowed the players to introduce and reinforce the basics to the younger children while also helping to improve and perfect techniques the older children already knew. Most of the children had a background in baseball or were already part of a local team so they were all excited and receptive to the advice they received.

The penultimate baseball event was a mock baseball game. The children got to put

together all the skills they had been practicing. They were able to hit the ball, run around the bases and throw the balls to each other in attempts to get one another out. The excitement and vigor was obvious in the children’s faces and they all worked together and cheered one another on. Each child got a chance to strut their stuff and show off their new skills, it was a great way to close out a fun event. The game was followed by the players handing out free Blue Wahoo T-shirts and then signing them in an autograph session.

“This was such a great learning opportunity for my children,” ACC Rachael Garcia expressed, “it is not easy to get a 12- and 13-year-old up early on a Saturday, but they were excited and ready for the camp this morning.”

Memorial Day: Veterans lives, sacrifices remembered

http://www.va.gov/

T

hree years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans – the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) – established “Decoration Day “as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers.

Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared that Decoration Day should be observed on May 30. It is believed that date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country.

The first large observance was held that year at Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. The ceremonies centered around the mourningdraped veranda of the Arlington mansion, once the home of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Various Washington officials, including Gen. and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant, presided over the ceremonies. After speeches, children from the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphan Home and members of the GAR made their way through the cemetery, strewing flowers on both Union and Confederate graves, reciting prayers and singing hymns.

Local observances claim to be first: Local springtime tributes to the Civil War dead already had been held in various places. One of the first occurred in Columbus, Miss., April 25, 1866, when a group of women visited a cemetery to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers who had fallen in battle at Shiloh.

Nearby were the graves of Union soldiers, neglected because they were the enemy. Disturbed at the sight of the bare graves, the women placed some of their flowers on those graves, as well.

Today, cities in the North and the South claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day in 1866. Both Macon and Columbus, Ga., claim the title, as well as Richmond, Va. The village of Boalsburg, Pa., claims it began there two years earlier. A stone in a Carbondale, Ill., cemetery carries the statement that the first Decoration Day ceremony took place there on April 29, 1866. Carbondale was the wartime home of Logan. Approximately 25 places have been named in connection with the origin of Memorial Day, many of them in the South where most of the war dead were buried.

Official birthplace declared: In 1966, Congress and President Lyndon Johnson declared Waterloo, N.Y., the “birthplace” of Memorial Day. There, a ceremony on May 5, 1866, honored local veterans who had fought in the Civil War. Businesses closed and residents flew flags at half-staff. Supporters of Waterloo’s claim say earlier observances in other places were either informal, not community-wide or one-time events.

By the end of the 19th century, Memorial Day ceremonies were being held on May 30 throughout the nation. State legislatures passed proclamations designating the day, and the Army and Navy adopted regulations for proper observance at their facilities.

It was not until after World War I, however, that the day was expanded to honor those who have died in all American wars. In 1971, Memorial Day was declared

a national holiday by an act of Congress, though it is still often called Decoration Day. It was then also placed on the last Monday in May, as were some other federal holidays.

Some states have Confederate observances: Many Southern states also have their own days for honoring the Confederate dead. Mississippi celebrates Confederate Memorial Day on the last Monday of April, Alabama on the fourth Monday of April, and Georgia on April 26. North and South Carolina observe it on May 10, Louisiana on June 3 and Tennessee calls that date Confederate Decoration Day. Texas celebrates Confederate Heroes Day Jan. 19 and Virginia calls the last Monday in May Confederate Memorial Day. Logan’s order for his posts to decorate graves in 1868 “with the choicest flowers of springtime” urged: “We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance ... Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic.”

The crowd attending the first Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery was approximately the same size as those that attend today’s observance, about 5,000 people. Then, as now, small American flags were placed on each grave – a tradition followed at many national cemeteries today. In recent years, the custom has grown in many families to deco-

Flag etiquette: when to fly half-staff

By U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs

An easy way to remember when to fly the United States flag at halfstaff is to consider when the whole nation is in mourning. These periods of mourning are proclaimed either by the president of the United States, for national remembrance, or the governor of a state or territory, for local remembrance, in the event of a death of a member or former member of the federal, state or territorial government or judiciary. The heads of departments and agencies of the federal government may also order that the flag be flown at half-staff on buildings, grounds and naval vessels under their jurisdiction.

rate the graves of all departed loved ones.

The origins of special services to honor those who die in war can be found in antiquity. The Athenian leader Pericles offered a tribute to the fallen heroes of the Peloponnesian War more than 24 centuries ago that could be applied today to the 1.1 million Americans who have died in the nation’s wars: “Not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions, but there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not on stone but in the hearts of men.”

To ensure the sacrifices of America ’s fallen heroes are never forgotten, in December 2000, the U.S. Congress passed and the president signed into law “The National Moment of Remembrance Act,” P.L. 106-579, creating the White House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance. The commission’s charter is to “encourage the people of the United States to give something back to their country, which provides them so much freedom and opportunity” by encouraging and coordinating commemorations in the United States of Memorial Day and the National Moment of Remembrance.

The National Moment of Remembrance encourages all Americans to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation. As Moment of Remembrance founder Carmella LaSpada states: “It’s a way we can all help put the memorial back in Memorial Day.”

M F W E X H Q C G Q T T Z N L

On Memorial Day the flag should be flown at half-staff from sunrise until noon only, then raised briskly to the top of the staff until sunset, in honor of the nation’s battle heroes.

In the early days of our country, no regulations existed for flying the flag at half-staff and, as a result, there were many conflicting policies. But on March 1, 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower issued a proclamation on the proper times.

The flag should fly at half-staff for 30 days at all federal buildings, grounds, and naval vessels throughout the United States and its territories and possessions after the death of the president or a for-

mer president. It is to fly 10 days at half-staff after the death of the vice president, the chief justice or a retired chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, or the speaker of the House of Representatives.

The president may order the flag to be flown at half-staff to mark the death of other officials, former officials, or foreign dignitaries. In addition to these occasions, the president may order half-staff display of the flag after other tragic events.

Out of respect for the U.S. flag, never dip it for any person or thing, even though state flags, regimental colors and other flags may be dipped as a mark of honor.

Quotes to remember On patriotism and remembrance ...

“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty.” – President John F. Kennedy “A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” – Joseph Campbell “All we have of freedom, all we use or know, this our fathers bought for us long and long ago.” – Rudyard Kipling “Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.” – James Bryce “Better than honor and glory, and history’s iron pen, was the thought of duty done and the love of his fellowmen.” – Richard Watson Gilder “A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.” – President Dwight D.

Italian flight student earns coveted award

By Ens. Michael Torres NETC PAO

M

ILTON (NNS) – The Distinguished Graduate Certificate of Merit was awarded for the first time in more than two years by Training Air Wing 5 onboard Naval Air Station (NAS) Whiting Field recently.

Ens. Davide Caporale, an Italian Navy student pilot, earned the award, which is reserved for less than one percent of all student pilots.

More than 1,300 students have graduated since someone last performed well enough to earn the certificate. All U.S. and international students trained by the U.S. Navy are eligible for the award at each training wing.

“Ens. Caporale’s award of the Distinguished Student Certificate of Merit is a great achievement deserving of personal accolade,” said Col. Gary Kling, Training Air Wing 5 commodore. “I am very proud of him for his sustained superior performance in both the academic and flight phases of multiple syllabi.”

Italian student pilots train side-by-side with their American and other international counterparts. After completing primary pilot training Italian students then go on to complete both advanced multiengine and advanced helicopter training. In all three phases Caporale per-

formed in at least the top 98.93 percent of the class. In advanced helicopter training, he earned a perfect 80.0 out of 80.0 in his Navy Standard Score (NSS), which is the curved scoring formula on which flight students are graded.

“I think I succeeded because of my great passion and dedication for this awesome profession,” said Caporale. “Since I joined the Italian Navy, I’ve tried to do my best to improve day after day, learning from others’ mistakes and asking a lot of questions. I’ve also been striving to be my worst judge, because I knew it was the best way to improve myself during and after every single flight.”

According to the Italian Naval Attache to the U.S, Capt.

Valter Zappellini, this is a noteworthy honor.

“Flight school requires a lot of effort and dedication and it’s not easy to carry on even for the students that are truly passionate for this challenging profession,” said Zappellini. “Undergoing such difficult training using a

foreign language is utterly outstanding. Being awarded for your performance in such a demanding training environment, even with that language handicap, is truly remarkable.”

Zappellini also noted that Italian flight students have a new standard to strive for.

“The Italian Navy students have an excellent reputation and typically get all kinds of awards in all phases of training, but this is the very first time one of them is rewarded with the Distinguished Graduate Certificate of Merit,” Zappellini explained.

“This sets a milestone and a new goal for the Italian Navy students that have just started their wonderful voyage.”

Caporale was grateful to receive the award.

“I’m really honored to re-

ceive this certificate; I wasn’t expecting to have the qualities and ability to reach this award.”

His instructor’s comments on his grade sheets were proof of his high performance.

“Flawless check flight,” wrote Marine Capt. Cody Scot, his instructor on his first solo check-ride. “This has to be the finest check-ride I have given to date. (The) student naval aviator is well ahead of the airplane and executes maneuvers with style and grace.”

Caporale’s first flight in a helicopter seemed to go equally well according to instructor, Lt. Matthew Goodavish.

“He was able to immediately pull up into a hover, takeoff, and land all within course training standards,” wrote Goodavish in the grade sheet.

Caporale will join the First Helicopter Group at NAS Sarzana in Tuscany, Italy, to fly the EH-101 Merlin.

“I will continue to do my best in Italy, as much as I can,” said Caporale. “I just can’t wait to start to fly this incredible aircraft and to pay back the remarkable opportunity the Italian Navy gave me.”

The Italian Navy, along with other international partners, train with the U.S. Navy through programs managed by the Naval Education and Training Security Assistance Field Activity (NETSAFA). The goal of NETSAFA is to foster and strengthen enduring international partnerships.

According to Kling, NETSAFA is meeting its goal.

“Even greater than the award is how this serves as a testament to the deep and meaningful partnership we’ve developed with the Italian Navy over many years,” Kling said. “We have the distinct privilege of developing future leaders and warriors here at Training Air Wing 5 during the early days of their flight leadership training, then sending them off to stand shoulder-to-shoulder in conflicts across the globe. I am honored to serve with all of these fine officers, and look forward to the many accomplishments they will share together in the future.”

Commissaries urge food safety at holiday barbecue From Defense Commissary Agency

FORT LEE, Va. – Nothing signals the start of summer quite like the backyard barbecue on Memorial Day. As commissary patrons worldwide prepare to dust off their “grill sergeant� skills, the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) wants to ensure that they handle and prepare their food safely.

The Be Food Safe program is as important to the success of the barbecue as charcoal is to an old-school grill, said Chris Wicker, DeCA’s public health advisor. The program was created through the collaboration of several government agencies – U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention – to focus on preventing foodborne illnesses caused from im-

proper food handling at home.

Foodborne illnesses such as salmonella, E. coli and listeria are all potential party crashers if people don’t pay heed to proper food handling, Wicker said. “Through ‘Be Food Safe’ we are promoting the message that our patrons have a responsibility to safeguard themselves and their families by practicing proper food handling techniques at all times,� he said.

Wicker said that anyone planning a barbecue should first consider the following basic food safety tips: • Be clean. Before cooking or eating – and definitely after using the bathroom – wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Don’t forget the grill; it should also be cleaned before

preparation begins. • Separate the food. Keep raw food apart from cooked food. The juices from raw meats can contain bacteria that could transfer to other foods. That means use separate plates or containers for raw meat, poultry or seafood when moving food to the grill and different containers entirely for the cooked products unless the carriers have been washed thoroughly in soap and water. Also, keep cooking utensils and cooking surfaces clean from potential cross contamination. • Marinate in refrigerator. Any food that is marinating should be covered and kept in a refrigerator until ready to cook.

Also, don’t reuse marinade containing raw meat.

• Cook it completely. This means you cannot take shortcuts on the amount of time it takes to thoroughly cook meat.

Use a food thermometer to ensure meat is ready to eat. For example, ground beef and pork should be cooked at 160 degrees, chicken at 165 degrees and steaks and roast at 145 degreees. You can use your microwave, oven or stove to precook the food immediately before placing it on the grill. “Time and temperature are key factors for grilling and protecting your loved ones from foodborne illness,� Wicker said. “Ensure proper temperatures are reached for all cooked meats and that no food is left out longer than two hours.

Keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot.

When in doubt, throw it out.�

Spanish ship to arrive May 27 From Fiesta of Five Flags

Spain’s naval training ship, the Juan Sebastian de Elcano, is scheduled to arrive at the Port of Pensacola at 9 a.m. May 27 for a five-day visit as part of the annual Fiesta of Five Flags celebration.

The Elcano is a four-masted topsail schooner standing at 113 meters. It is the third largest tall ship in the world.

“This ship is not just any ship, it’s a very special naval training ship, a floating university,” said Maria Davis, honorary vice consul of Spain in Pensacola. “Spain is sending the Elcano here this year to honor the U.S. citizenship of Gen. Bernardo de Galvez, a Revolutionary War hero who won the Battle of Pensacola 234 years ago in May.” An informal welcoming ceremony will take place at approximately noon May 27 for the ship’s commander, Capt. Enrique Torres-Piñeyro, at the T.T. Wentworth Jr. Florida State Museum.

Ramon Gil-Casares, the ambassador of Spain to the United States, local dignitaries and city and military officials are expected to attend.

Galvez defeated British troops in the Battle of Pensacola on May 9, 1781, reconquering West Florida for Spain and aiding the 13 American colonies in their quest for independence. The public is invited to attend the annual wreath-laying ceremony to honor Galvez at 9:30 a.m. May 28 at Fort George. The Elcano and NASP Corry Station naval bands will perform and a 21-gun salute is planned.

Free tours of the ship are available to the public from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3 to 5 p.m. May 2930 and from 3 to 5 p.m. May 31.

Tour dates are subject to change.

The ship is scheduled to depart Pensacola at 4 p.m. June 1. For updates on the ship’s schedule, go to FiestaofFiveFlags.org.

Adelene Lovelace, executive director of the Fiesta of Five Flags Association, is thrilled the ship will be here to help kick off the 66th Annual Fiesta Days celebration, which starts May 27.

“We are honored that the Elcano is returning to Pensacola.

We are one of only two ports in America that the ship will be

calling on this year,” said Lovelace. “This helps us celebrate our heritage and connections with Spain.”

The Juan Sebastián de Elcano was built in 1927 for the Royal Navy. It is named after the Spanish explorer who successfully completed the first ever circumnavigation of the globe from 1519-1522 with Ferdinand Magellan’s fleet.

The Elcano last visited Pensacola in 2009 as part of the city’s 450th anniversary celebration of the 1559 arrival of Spanish explorer Don Tristan de Luna, marking the first American settlement in Pensacola.

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.
