Pensacola military spouses honored • Opportunities for spouses, career and licensing resources highlighted at luncheon Story, photos by Jason Bortz NAS Pensacola Public Affairs
The Pensacola Navy League hosted an annual Military Spouse Appreciation Luncheon May 22 in Pensacola, Florida, to honor 23 spouses from the local commands. “The Navy League exists to support and advocate for the sea services,” Dan McCort, president of the Pensacola Navy League said, “and the sea services cannot do their job without the support of military spouses.” Breanna Wesley was nominated by her husband AB2 Timothy Wesley, Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola Honor Guard. “I really appreciated the opportunity to nominate my
wife,” Wesley, who is from Midland City, Alabama said. “She deserved being nominated. She always supported me while I was on deployments.” Breanna and Timothy met while playing basketball in college at Bishop State Community College in Mobile, Alabama. They have only been married five years, but have already experienced life as a military couple – two deployments and months of separation. “It was rough when he was gone,” Breanna, who is originally from Gautier, Mississippi said, “but I had a lot of support from my family and other spouses.” The guest speaker for the luncheon was Jennifer Kinsella, wife of Commanding See Spouses on page 2

Service members: tips for first time automobile buyers By Greg Mitchell NAS Pensacola Public Affairs
Most service members will buy a car at some point during their enlistment, and car payments is usually the highest bill a person will have – second only to a mortgage. First-time purchasers are limited often in experience that can make them targets for car salesmen looking to make a quick sale. Having money for a down payment can reduce the overall cost and save thousands in interest over the term of the loan.
Solid credit scores are also important for acquiring a car loan and free scores can be acquired on various credit score websites. Poor credit can often be improved dramatically in a few months by making payments on time and aggressively paying down debt. The difference in the annual percentage rate (APR) a buyer will pay can amount to thousands of dollars, which will pay off later down the road. Deciding on financing is also very important. Applying for a loan and securing a pre-approved loan before visiting a dealership can help the transaction
run smoother. Financing through a dealership can sometimes bring higher interest rates. Before securing financing, check to see if the interest rate is reasonable or if there are better options. When considering what car to purchase, research is the key. There are several automobile sale websites geared towards helping car buyers decide on a vehicle and how much that vehicle should cost. If a buyer does the research, the dealer attempting to sell them a car will have a more difficult time taking advantage of them. Also, consider purchasing a used vehicle.

IWTC Corry Station celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month By CTR1 Marcus A. Vasquez IWTC Corry Station
Students and staff at Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) Corry Station attended a presentation celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, May 16. Since 1992, May has been officially designated as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. May was chosen as the observance month to commemorate the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants to the United States on May 10, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the of the transcontinental railroad completion on May 10, 1869. The majority of the workers who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants. The U.S. military also marks this month as a time to recognize the service and sacrifice of its Asian American and Pacific Islander veterans. “This annual observance serves as

a reminder of the patriotism of Asian American and Pacific Islanders who have served, or are currently serving,” CTTC Frakelia Leonard said.
Following a short presentation on Asian American and Pacific Islander history and a speech from Leonard, the Miyabi Dancers of Pensacola performed
a traditional Japanese dance. Information Warfare Training Command Corry Station is a part of the Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT). 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.

a used automobile that may be a few years old can sometimes cost up to one-third less than a new car. Although there are some warranty advantages to buying a new car, it is possible to get much more value from buying a used car. For resources and trusted advice on buying a vehicle, visit the Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC). FFSC offers classes for service members and their families to learn important steps to follow before making a purchase. “Courses with regards to personal financial management, to include automobile purchase are offered at least two times a month and upon request,” FFSC Personal Financial Management Specialist Stephanie Talcott said. “Furthermore, we also provide one-on-one counseling services for those interested. We highly encourage service members, as well as family members, to take full advantage of all the programs we have to offer.” Following these few tips will help car buyers make a well-informed purchase that will fit their finances while also keeping them from having buyer’s remorse down the road.
Spouses from page 1 Officer NAS Pensacola Capt. Timothy Kinsella. A military spouse of 12 years, she echoed the importance of support, but also stressed being active as a military spouse. “It’s important to jump in and be part of the military spouse community as well as the local community,” Kinsella said. “There is a lot of support available for spouses through the services provided on base as well as in the community.” One of the resources Kinsella specifically mentioned was the Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) onboard NAS Pensacola. The FFSC has programs to support spouses such as New Parent Support, Exceptional Family Member, Family Advocacy, Personal Financial Management, Life Skills Education, Clinical Counseling, Transition Assistance, Relocation Assistance, Family Employment Readiness, Disaster Preparedness and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response. Another valuable resource for military spouses moving to Pensacola is www. statepolicy.militaryonesource.mil. The site contains information about transferring occupational licenses such nursing from another state to Florida, removing certification requirements for teachers and maintaining in-state tuition. According to Eric Sherman, southeast regional liaison with the Defense – State Liaison Office, Florida is one of the easiest states in the country for military spouses to transfer licenses and certifications related to their careers. Even with the numerous resources available to military spouses, being a military spouse is never easy. Coping with long periods of separation, moving every couple of years and being concerned for the safety of their deployed loved ones are all part of being a military spouse. The role of the military spouse is often overlooked, but is a vital necessity of maintaining the readiness of our military. One thing that will never change is the ability of military spouses to adapt and overcome the challenges they may encounter. “Spouses adjust their sails in all kinds of weather,” Kinsella said to those in attendance. “We are adaptable, but our safe harbor is our community. The community where we live and our military spouses’ community. For more than a century, NAS Pensacola, referred to as the “Cradle of Naval Aviation,” has supported operational and training missions of tenant commands, currently 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).

Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida: A Bicentennial Defense Community Commanding Officer – Capt. Timothy Kinsella Public Affairs Officer – Jason Bortz The Gosport nameplate pays homage to the 100th anniversary of naval aviation in 2011: the Centennial of Naval Aviation, or CONA. The image on the left side of the nameplate depicts Eugene Ely taking off in a Curtiss pusher biplane from the USS Pennsylvania Jan. 18, 1911. While Ely had taken off from the USS Birmingham two months earlier after his plane had been loaded on the ship, the USS Pennsylvania event was the first time a plane landed on and then took off from a U.S. warship. The image on the right side is one of the
Navy’s most modern fighter aircraft, the F/A18 Super Hornet. Established in 1921 as the Air Station News, the name Gosport was adopted in 1936. A gosport was a voice tube used by flight instructors in the early days of naval aviation to give instructions and directions to their students. The name “Gosport” was derived from Gosport, England (originally God’s Port), where the voice tube was invented.

Goat yoga with Grammy It seemed like a terrific idea … at the time. Grammy was coming to visit for her birthday. Over the years, we’d given her every lousy present from ill-fitting sweaters, to redundant casserole dishes, to hardware store gift cards, to complicated electronics she would never use. It was high time we put real thought into Grammy’s special day. It hit me while I was driving past a local farm. “What if we surprised Grammy with a goat yoga session for her birthday?” I blurted to my daughters, Anna and Lilly, seated in the car with me. “That would be SO fun!” Anna exclaimed. We were unable to contain our own selfish excitement at the prospect of snapping selfies with adorable goats in the name of Grammy’s birthday. While most 70-something grandmothers would not want a cloven farm animal standing on her back, Grammy had always been fearless with all manner of bugs, reptiles, and furry creatures … and, oddly, fascinated with their scatology.
How to submit a commentary
So, Anna, Lilly, and I surprised her. “In honor of your birthday, we’re having ‘Girls’ Night Out,’ complete with Sunset Goat Yoga followed by dinner at a Thai restaurant!” Although it sounded like the perfect girls’ night to us, Grammy’s stunned expression begged for more information. “Don’t worry Mom,” I assured her, “we’re going to a quaint, historic farm, and as the sun kisses the horizon, we’ll be meditating on yoga mats in a flowered meadow while adorable baby goats frolic around us… Doesn’t that sound fabulous?” Grammy smiled uneasily. We piled out of the car at the farm, just before several other participants showed up, each wearing the same look of cautious optimism. We waited outside the barn as instructed, as the farm hands retrieved goats on leashes for each of us. Lilly was assigned Herb, Anna had Daisy, Grammy had Wilson, and I had Sugar. I had expected curious and compliant goats, but these young kids pulled fiercely on their restraints, bleating

to the hills to be returned to the comfort of their dungheaps. The farm hands told us to walk our goats up a muddy road to the field at the top of the hill, where the yoga instructor would teach our class. They advised, “If they run, run with them. If they resist, pick them up. But
watch the horns!” I looked down at Sugar, straining on her lead. “Is that mud running down the backs of her legs?” I wondered, resolving to not carry her. The scene soon looked like an old Keystone Cops reel, each of us trying desperately to coax our goats up the hill, getting tangled in each other’s leashes, sporadically running, and trying awkwardly to pick up the animals. I finally resorted to carrying Sugar, with my head turned reluctantly toward her caked backside to keep from having my eyes poked out. By the time we all reached the yoga location, we were sweating, traumatized, and smudged with poo. We rolled mats out between the cow pies, and our yoga instructor began, “Today, we will experience real life with all its beauty and distractions.” A giggle erupted when a goat urinated. “Yes, the goats are funny, but let’s be mindful of our bodies now. Feel the breeze, hear the birds, smell–” A goat hopped onto An-
na’s lap, and Lilly hooted and fumbled with her phone to snap photos. “Smell the ocean,” our instructor continued, just as a goat nibbled on Grammy’s hair. “He thinks it’s hay!” my mother joked, and the entire class cracked up. The hilarity continued through lotus position, downward-facing dog, grasshopper and warrior pose, while the goats hopped, bucked, gnawed, yanked, and tugged their way into our hearts. Even mucky Sugar won me over when she nuzzled my neck and nibbled my ponytail. Meditation and mindfulness seemed impossible, but suddenly I became very mindful when I realized Sugar had my entire ponytail down her throat. Clearly, laughter was the best therapeutic technique under the circumstances. Over green curry and sake, I asked Grammy what she thought of goat yoga. She mustered her inner diplomat, not wanting to offend anyone while still speaking the truth, “Hmm, well, I must say, it was VERY authentic.”

Navy leadership accelerates lethality with newly designated Surface Development Squadron From Commander, Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet Public Affairs
S
AN DIEGO (NNS) – To encourage innovation, experimentation and combat readiness, Vice Adm. Richard Brown, Commander, Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet (CNSP), announced the establishment of Surface Development Squadron ONE (SURFDEVRON ONE) during a ceremony May 22. SURFDEVRON ONE will integrate unmanned surface vessels (USV) and support fleet experimentation to accelerate delivery of new warfighting concepts and capabilities to the fleet. Brown, who provided remarks during the ceremony, told the attendees they were witnesses to the future in Surface Warfare. “By standing up a command dedicated to developing warfighting capabilities and experimentation, we will ensure the U.S. Surface Navy remains the premiere Surface Navy in the world,” Brown said. SURFDEVRON’s primary functions will be to: • Execute experimentation to support development of new and emerging surface warfighting capabilities. • Develop material and technical solutions to tactical challenges. • Coordinate doctrine, organization, training, material, logistics, personnel and facilities requirements for unmanned
surface systems. To establish the new command, CNSP re-designated Zumwalt Squadron ONE (ZRON ONE) to SURFDEVRON ONE to accelerate new warfighting capabilities to the surface force and lead fleet integration of unmanned surface vessels. Commanders, U.S. Fleet Forces Command and U.S. Pacific Fleet, approved the SURDEVRON ONE plan, and Chief of Naval Operations endorsed it earlier this year. Capt. Henry Adams relieved Capt. Scott Carroll during a combined change of command/establishment ceremony. “ZRON ONE embodied Adm. Zumwalt’s legacy of warfighting innovation by leading fleet integration of the revolutionary ship class that bears his name,” Carroll said. “Establishing this new squadron – with its focus on experimentation and future warfighting technology – fulfills and extends ZRON’s purpose to the rest of the Surface

Navy. Although the name has changed, I’m proud to note that Adm. Zumwalt’s innovative legacy will persist.” “I want to recognize and thank Capt. Scott Carroll for his leadership and hard work while Commander of the ZRON,” Brown said. “His leadership was crucial to the introduction of the Navy’s newest and most technologically advanced ship class. He ensured the Zumwalt class was properly manned, the Sailors specifically trained to operate the advanced warfighting systems, and the required material readiness was in place to conduct sustained combat operations at sea.” Adams is SURFDEVRON
ONE’s first Commodore. Previously, he led CNSP’s Commander’s Action Group (CAG) and served as Commander, Destroyer Squadron TWO ONE (CDS 21). Other previous command tours include USS Stethem (DDG 63) and USS Thunderbolt (PC 12). “It’s an honor and a privilege to lead the SURFDEVRON ONE team as we work to execute the Navy’s and surface warfare community’s vision to build an organization focused on fleet innovation and experimentation,” Adams said. “We look forward to the challenge and to working with the broader community of interest – both inside and outside of the Navy – as we collaborate to re-
Housing program reviews: A team approach to monitoring the Navy’s Housing Program From Commander, Navy Installations Command Public Affairs
WASHINGTON (NNS) – Although private companies provide housing for Navy families, many are unaware that there is a dedicated staff of Navy employees as well as tools to manage, improve and provide oversight for privatized housing – as well as all Navy housing. One of the tools used includes “Housing Program Reviews,” conducted by Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC), which manages and conduct program oversight of the Navy housing programs at its installations. They cover not only privatized family housing, but also military family housing and all unaccompanied housing. CNIC conducts the reviews, commonly referred to as HPR, collaboratively with
Navy regions and installations, using Navy housing policy, metrics, reports, plans and on-site observation. “The HPR is the most effective method to monitor the housing programs,” Greg Wright, director of Navy Housing at CNIC said. “While conducting a review, we use a team approach to identify and correct issues, promote efficiencies, validate resources and provide a forum to collect and share best practices.” The CNIC housing team, along with region and installation housing personnel, conducted a review at Naval Station Norfolk and Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads May 13 to 17. During the oneweek, on-site review, the team evaluated unaccompanied housing, staffing, housing referral and other services. The team also conducted focus groups, which provided an opportunity for Navy
personnel to meet with service members and families residing in Public Private Venture (PPV) housing and unaccompanied housing. At the conclusion of the focus groups, team members and housing professionals met one-on-one with residents to address individual questions and concerns. “We wanted to meet with our residents and listen to their recommendations for the program,” Gabriel Smith, CNIC’s PPV housing program analyst said. “An open discussion also gave residents the opportunity to ask housing professionals about the program, and residents learned more about the support that the Navy has in place to ensure that their housing needs are met.” To find your local Navy Housing Service Center, visit www.cnic.navy.mil/ContactHousing.
alize SURFDEVRON ONE’s full potential.” The stand-up of SURFDEVRON ONE will be executed in phases over the next several years until it reaches full capacity and capability. SURFDEVRON ONE draws on the urgency within the National Defense Strategy (NDS), which acknowledges, “We cannot expect success fighting tomorrow’s conflicts with yesterday’s weapons or equipment, and exercising a strategy proven in other Navy warfighting communities.” SURFDEVRON ONE also aligns with the Secretary of the Navy’s vision of an integrated Naval Force that provides maritime dominance for the Nation with a renewed sense of urgency and speed throughout the entire organization. SURFDEVRON ONE is responsible for the maintenance, training and manning oversight for medium and large Unmanned Surface Vessels (e.g. Sea Hunter / MDUSV) and ZUMWALT-class ships: USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000), USS Michael Monsoor (DDG 1001), the future USS Lyndon B Johnson (DDG 1002). The squadron headquarters will be located onboard Naval Base San Diego but will operate throughout various areas of operation. Get more information about the Navy from U.S. Navy Facebook or Twitter.

NATTC employs new air conditioning training simulator

Instructors replaced outdated air conditioning training equipment with the new system, which helps modernize initial accession aviation support equipment technician “A” school training with a commercial offthe-shelf modernized air conditioning and refrigeration training aid.

From Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training PENSACOLA, Florida. – Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) wrapped up the first Aviation Support Equipment (AS) “A” School air conditioning unit incorporating a new training system May 23. Instructors replaced outdated air conditioning training equipment with the AMATROL T7082A Learning System, which helps modernize initial accession AS rating training.
The air conditioning unit is one of 10 modules that initial accession Sailors and Marines complete as part of AS “A” School. “These new trainers are the same as most trade schools and will help the students have a better understanding of how air conditioners work,” Johnnie Creel, NATTC AS “A” School curriculum manager, said. The system is an example of a modernized method of delivering training that the U.S. Navy’s Sailor 2025 Ready, Relevant Learning initiative calls
for. Students receive more performance-based hands-on training through practice with multiple “reps and sets” of critical concepts on a simulator. The updated training aid is a commercial off-the-shelf advanced air conditioning and refrigeration system that teaches critical concepts of compressors, condensers, metering devices, evaporators, temperature, pressure control devices and reversing valves. The T7082A system components and gauges show students the
air conditioning and refrigeration cycle of operation and helps teach students to observe and monitor cooling systems using various instruments including sight glasses, moisture indicators, and a panel-mounted compressor ammeter. “This new trainer is able to allow students to see the changes in state of the refrigerant as it passes each component in the cycle of operation, which was never possible before in the legacy trainers,” Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Hector Delgado, the NATTC AS “A” School primary air conditioner instructor and curriculum update lead, said. “Before we would have to just tell students that this occurred. Now the students will actually be able to see it.” The trainer provides the capability of critical hands-on, skill-building tasks such as using a manifold gauge to measure thermal system pressure and testing a thermostatic expansion valve or compressor, preparing AS “A” School students for the next phase of air conditioning training at a “C” School. “The ease of use of these new training aids will help those new accession students, who have never worked with air conditioning before, be able to more easily identify components and better understand the basic concepts, duties and tasks of this unit,” ASC Wayne
Guan, NATTC AS “A” School training officer, said. “These new training aids should also provide NATTC with a more environmentally-friendly solution and cost-effective solution to delivering the training.” Keeping in compliance with the Clean Air Act, requiring removal of R-22 refrigerant by 2020, the replacement of older air conditioning and refrigerant trainers became a necessity. NATTC is part of the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT), headquartered at Naval Air Station Pensacola and graduates approximately 15,000 Navy and Marine students yearly. The largest part of this student body is comprised of enlisted personnel attending “A” schools designed to provide them with the knowledge and skill levels required to perform as technicians at the third class petty officer level. CNATT develops, delivers and supports aviation technical training at 27 sites located throughout the continental United States and Japan. CNATT is a training center under Naval Education and Training Command, and is a technical training agent for the Naval Aviation Enterprise, an organization designed to advance and sustain naval aviation warfighting capabilities at an affordable cost.

Sixty percent of all primary flight training is conducted at Whiting, and 100 percent of Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard helicopter pilots. Whiting has two airfields, North and South, that conduct training flight operations for fixed-wing and helicopter training, respectively. With the massive number of flights at the installation, almost one million flight operations per year, an aviator’s support must include a high degree of expertise to keep flight training at the safest possible level. Both North and South flight lines have facilities, known as “paralofts,” where inspecting, fitting and maintaining aviation safety gear happens every day. Almost all of the paraloft employees who work both fields are former military from
Navy, Marine Corps, Army or Air Force and have an average of 20 years of experience each. “Everyone takes a lot of pride in their work here,” Joe Timbang, South Field paraloft’s aviation life support system or ALSS lead explained. The South Field paraloft caters to TH-57 Sea Ranger aviators and includes 700 helmets and 650 vests maintained by 10 people. “We’re a small-manned section, but the amount of work pumped out of here is ridiculous. It’s unheard of,” Timbang said. Vests are grouped by size so that most aviators sign out

a vest based on their physical build. Each vest includes survival gear and a harness in case of a helicopter rescue. They return the vests after each flight. “It’s always a safe product,” South Field’s Adam Galasso said. “But we also never want our stuff to be used.” Understandable, since aviators do not want to be in a situation requiring the use of their
vest’s survival equipment. Unlike North Field, South Field has 80 night vision goggles, or NVGs, used by helicopter students for their training flights before they graduate. NVGs allow the aviators to train on how to conduct night operations in environments with limited lighting. The NVGs must be fitted to the student’s helmet for ease of use.

Another paraloft responsibility is to provide nametags for wingings and promotions and to maintain all flight clothing such as coveralls, gloves and boots. “We’ve been known to be one of the top paralofts in terms of customer service and quality of work,” Timbang said proudly. A friendly competition is in play between NASWF’s North and South Fields. “We’re better than South Field,” North Field’s Randall Arboghast said with a chuckle. Since the T-6B Texan II flies higher than the TH-57, pilots need facemasks plugged into an oxygen producing unit to breath at oxygen scarce altitudes. “We’ve got a lot more equipment and just barely a few people more than South Field,” Arboghast noted. It’s a friendly and respectful rivalry in which everyone wins. The North Field paraloft boasts 900 sets of gear including helmets, survival gear, oxygen hoses and “G-suits” capable of helping T-6B aviation students resist G-forces, or gravitational forces, during aerobatic maneuvers. The North paraloft is 7,000 sq. ft. bigger to individually house each aviator’s set of equipment. Each set is tailored to the aviator by one of the 13 dedicated workers. After all the gear has been adjusted, the aviator is then strapped into parachute lines and suspended from the ceiling to test comfort and effectiveness. “It’s never a dull moment,” Bryant Roddy of North field, who has 14 years Air Force experience, remarked. “It’s challenging every day, and we make sure the student gets good equipment before they get into the fleet.”

Onboard NASP TACAMO aircraft to be celebrated
A group of retired Sailors will gather at the National Naval Aviation Museum in the Blue Angels Atrium June 8 at 1 p.m. to celebrate the long service of BUNO 151891, a Navy C-130 Hercules. With a service career that spanned decades, the plane, known affectionately as simply ‘891,’ has been the workhorse in six different Navy squadrons. In between very brief service as a transport with VR21 and the Blue Angels, 891 served in four other squadrons, providing alternative long range communications support for the Navy’s nuclear deterrence submarine forces. That mission is known as TACAMO, an acronym for Take Charge and Move Out. Sponsoring the 891 celebration is the TACAMO Community Veterans Association (TCVA) whose chartered purpose is to provide fraternal, social and recreational activities for the members and guests and encourage and support the preservation of the history of TACAMO. TCVA has more than 3,000 members, a website and social media virtual gathering places for its members. A TACAMO Hall of Fame, reunions and memorials are just some of the activities TCVA sponsors. See TACAMO.org for more information about 891 and also https://www.tacamo.org/buno151891. For more on the ceremony go to https://www.tacamo.org/2019-minireunion-pns.

Japan’s sword shattered at
Midway
By Mike O’Connor Gosport Editor
V
eterans, cryptographers and historians will take time this week to recall World War II’s Battle of Midway, considered by many to be the turning point in the battle for the Pacific. Midway. A catastrophic defeat for Japan, and a desperately needed victory for America, the Battle of Midway destroyed the illusion of Japanese invincibility and set the stage for Japan’s inevitable defeat. More than a halfway point, it was the turning point for World War II in the Pacific. A string of quick victories had led to overconfidence in the Japanese admiralty, a condition they later termed “victory disease.” Its forces had run up success after success in the Pacific after the Dec. 7 attack on United States forces at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The British battleship Prince of Wales and cruiser Repulse had been sunk Dec. 10. Guam and Wake Island were seized, the Philippines invaded. Hong Kong and Singapore, too, fell into Japanese hands. By June 1942, Japan was in uncontested possession of the whole of Southeast Asia. Japanese Naval General Staff strategic planner Fleet Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto had sought to strike a decisive blow that would knock America out of the Pacific once and for all. By attacking Midway Island, an atoll actually consisting of two
islands, Sand and Eastern Island – and also in the Aleutian Islands off Alaska – he hoped to draw the American carrier forces into a trap. If Japanese fleet forces succeeded in destroying the U.S. Navy’s carrier forces, which were untouched by the attack at Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto reasoned Japan would have a free hand in the Pacific for years. Yamamoto was a well-known gambler, but in his bid to take Midway he could not have known the deck was stacked against him. American cryptologic efforts, under the direction of Cmdr. Joseph Rochefort at Pearl Harbor’s Station Hypo, had made significant progress against the Japanese naval code then in use, called JN-25. The Navy’s radio intelligence organization was able to decipher an increasing percentage of enemy radio traffic and was beginning to offer clues to America’s military planners about Japan’s intentions. In the months leading up to the Midway battle, the Station Hypo team was putting together a puzzle based on the information they knew. A large-scale Japanese naval offensive was in the making against a target they

called “AF” but the focus of the attack was unclear. The staff of Adm. Chester Nimitz, commander of the U.S. fleet in the Pacific, needed to be sure. Rochefort’s team, along with Capt. Edwin Layton, Nimitz’s fleet intelligence officer, had a clue that “AF” might be Midway, so a ruse was developed. The radio operator at Midway was instructed to broadcast in the clear a message that the installation’s fresh water distillation plant had broken down and that fresh water was needed at once. Soon after, monitored Japanese radio traffic passed along a message, “AF is short of water.” With the enemy intentions in hand, Nimitz drew up his own plan of attack. Three American aircraft carriers, USS Enterprise (CV 6), USS Yorktown (CV 5) and USS Hornet (CV 8) faced four large
Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) carriers – Akagi, Kaga, Hiryu and Soryu at Midway. Accompanying the IJN carriers were no less than seven Japanese battleships; the Americans had none at Midway. And supporting the powerful IJN fleet were about 150 supporting ships of various kinds; the United States had about 50. The date of the intended offensive was known – June 3. Though American naval forces were far less numerous than the opposing force, Nimitz was able to position his strength to his best advantage. Patrols made contact and June 4, in the space of a few history-changing minutes, three Japanese carriers were hit and left ablaze by American dive bombers. Later that day the fourth Japanese carrier was located, hit and later sunk.
Gosling Games Color Me: ‘Shells’
Though Yorktown was lost – bombed, then torpedoed and sunk by a Japanese submarine – the damage to the Japanese fleet was thorough. Four of the six Japanese carriers which had attacked Pearl Harbor were lost, along with a cruiser, 256 aircraft and 3,057 personnel. American losses in addition to Yorktown were one destroyer, 145 aircraft and 307 personnel. The battle was won due to a combination of factors in which courage, skill, fortune and timing all played a part, but the value of the naval intelligence which indicated Japanese intentions is undeniable. The victory was a needed shot in the arm to an anxious America at war. Before the Battle of Midway, Japanese military power in the Pacific did nothing but advance. After Midway, they did nothing but retreat.

CIWT civilian reaches epic career milestone By Glenn Sircy Center for Information Warfare Training
A
my Gandy, a Pensacola native and civil service employee, reached an exclusive 30-year career milestone, all at the same command, onboard Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola Corry Station May 21 After graduating from the University of West Florida, Pensacola in 1989 with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, Gandy began her civil service career as a centralized financial management trainee at Naval Technical Training Center Corry Station, the command now named and known as the Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT). After the twoyear program, she was then permanently hired as the CIWT command evaluation officer, a role she still currently holds today. Gandy is also the CIWT Managers’ Internal Control Program coordinator, Process Review Program manager, and the inspector general hotline point of contact. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working for the CIWT domain the past 30 years,” Gandy shared. “Although the people, leadership and mission have changed throughout the years, they have all been good to me and I truly value the great working environment here.” During her dedicated service here, Gandy has worked for 13 separate commanding officers while the command and mission have evolved into a headquarters domain of four schoolhouse
commands, two detachments, and training sites throughout the United States and Japan that trains and delivers more than 21,000 information warfare professionals to the Navy and joint services every year. “Our CIWT domain is comprised of incredibly talented and professional people, like Ms. Gandy, and I’m grateful how she plays a vital role in the execution of our mission and in our warfighting effectiveness for the Navy the nation needs,” CIWT’s Executive Director Jim Hagy said. “I greatly appreciate her dedication and loyal service to not only this command, but this great nation.” Gandy is a known and respected member to not only the domain team, but within the Naval Education and Training Command (NETC). “Having known Amy for 30-plus years, I must say I have never met a federal employee more conscientious than Amy,” NETC Deputy Inspector General Charles R. Gimbel said. “Her work efforts have always been impeccable, which have produced superb results. She gives a 110 percent effort in all her assignments, and is an exceptionally trustworthy and loyal em-

ployee. Amy has always done things in the best interest of her command and the commanding officer. She has also professionally assisted the NETC inspector general (IG) in all assigned investigation responsibilities and NETC inspector general inspections or area visits. Amy is a most welcomed addition to the NETC inspector general team when asked to provide inspection assistance. The bottom line is she’s the best of the NETC echelon 3 command evaluation officers, and CIWT is very fortunate indeed to have such a truly outstanding employee. Frankly, can’t say enough great things about Amy. She’s that good!”
Over the years, Gandy has been the continuity in assisting the CIWT headquarters domain and separate command commanding officers and officers in charge in attaining strategic goals and objectives, and in improving the performance, readiness, efficiency, effectiveness of their commands and detachments. “My main goal has always been to help the entire CIWT domain excel,” Gandy said. “I enjoy helping the entire team focus on and strengthen command work processes; assess compliance programs; review metrics; assess standardization; and assess and highlight mission accomplishments.” When asked how much longer she’ll add to her CIWT career chapter, Gandy said, “I have no definitive plans to go anywhere soon, and I truly appreciate the opportunity to have and continue to serve such an outstanding command with an important mission.” 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.

Movie Magic: Space Oddities
A BB-8 prop used in the recent Star Wars movies. It is on display at the T.T. Wentworth Museum as part of the Merrill Movie Museum collection. Photo courtesy of the Merrill Movie Museum By Julio Diaz T.T. Wentworth Museum You might be surprised to learn that one of the most impressive collections of screen-used movie props, costumes and related materials resides in Pensacola. But for the first time, a significant portion of this collection is on display in a stunning museum setting. The Merrill Movie Museum is a private collection of more than 1,000 artifacts from movies and television ranging from pre-production concept art and business documents to finished production pieces used in the making of dozens of different films and television shows, and much more. Brothers Burney, Collier and Will Merrill have been collecting items for decades,
and have now teamed with the T.T. Wentworth Jr. Museum to showcase some of their treasures. “Space Oddities: Selections From the Merrill Movie Museum” is on display at the Wentworth through February, and focuses on items from science fiction films and television shows including the “Alien” and “Men in Black” franchises, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” “Battlestar Galactica,” “Serenity” and “Zathura,” as well as vintage sci-fi movie posters from the Merrill collection. While the brothers – who are well-known in the community as the owners of The Fish House, Jackson’s Steakhouse, Atlas Oyster House, Five Sisters Blues Cafe and the forthcoming Angelena’s – have occasionally shown items publicly, including displays to promote Pensacon and in an appearance on “American Pickers,” for some time, the collection has been spread out across multiple locations, with much of it in boxes, making assembling any serious exhibit a challenge. Representatives of the University of West Florida Historic Trust were among the first invited to view the private collection as it started to become presentable, and immediately recognized the potential in putting together an exciting public exhibit. Over the course of several visits, reviewing multiple items, a decision was made to create an exhibit that would focus on a few highly recognizable sci-fi properties, as well as looking back at some of the grand history of the movie posters of the genre’s golden age. After careful discussion, the Historic Trust team selected some of the most historically significant and all-around coolest items in the Merrill Movie Museum collection for this exhibit. We are excited to be able to share a small portion of the Merrill Movie Collection with the world via this exhibit. To learn more about the collection, visit www.facebook.com/merrillmoviemuseum, follow @merrillmovies on Twitter, and follow @merrillmoviemuseum on Instagram.
