Feds Feeds Families starts 2014 campaign Navy Region Southeast joins the fight By Twilla Smith Navy Region Southeast Public Affairs

Capt. Maureen Padden, NHP commanding officer; Lt. Christopher Lynn, department head, Urgent Care Center (UCC); and Cmdr. Carolyn Rice, director for Medical Services, cut the ribbon at the grand opening of NHP’s UCC. The UCC is open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

With the conversion of Naval Hospital Pensacola’s Emergency Room into an Urgent Care Center, TRICARE beneficiaries need to understand their benefits when visiting a civilian ER. Active-duty service members and their families with TRICARE Prime still incur no cost when visiting a civilian ER, but most other TRICARE beneficiaries will incur a copay. “A copay is the amount of money, fixed or percentage, that some patients are responsible to pay for any visit to a (civilian emergency room),” said Sally Rathbun, supervisor, Health Benefits Office. “The type of TRICARE coverage a patient has will determine the amount or percentage they will pay for

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Feds Feed Families is a voluntary effort supported by Federal employees across the nation where employees donate food and other non-perishable food items to be distributed to local food banks. This year’s campaign kicked off June 1 and will continue through Aug. 27 throughout Navy Region Southeast and the nation. “The Feds Feed Families campaign gives Navy Region Southeast the opportunity to give back to the community,” said RPC (SW/FMF) Michael A. Hawthorne, the region coordinator

for the 2014 Feds Feeds Families campaign. “It is in the spirit of giving that the men and women of Navy Region Southeast and this year will be no exception. My expectation is to exceed the 227,026 pounds of food we collected last year.” According to the USDA, hunger is a reality for one in six Americans. As a result, millions of Americans due to no fault of their

NETC CO thanks training team at Center for Service Support By MCC Shawn D. Graham Center for Service Support Public Affairs

NEWPORT, R.I. (NNS) – Rear Adm. Michael White, commander, Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) visited the Center for Service Support (CSS) June 6. PNC Roger Drumheller, administration ratings training manager, said providing White an overview of day-to-day functions is important in understanding the dynamics of CSS’ unique blend of military and civilian trainers. “Rear Adm. White is able to see the full scope of the training we provide to the fleet’s future Sailors, from basic skills to advanced training,” Drumheller said. “It’s always important to hear the boss’ perspective and listen to his thoughts about the job we perform. This was also a great opportunity to show the success of our blended team of chief petty officers and stellar civilian employees.” As White toured, MCCS Joel Huval,

CSS senior enlisted adviser, discussed the importance of CSS’ training programs for Sailors who will ultimately serve in the fleet. “We give the fleet Sailors who will become leaders and managers,” Huval said. “CSS and all of our schools and learning sites are critical to the Navy’s mission. We instill our students with required skills and training they will use in their future jobs. Our schools are at the forefront of shaping the Navy’s Sailors of the future. Our students will fill critical roles at their ships, shore installations and squadrons.” White was impressed with the staff and their efforts to educate and mentor new Sailors. “I appreciate the opportunity to look everyone in the eye and tell them thank you for what you do,” White said. “Nearly 36,000 recruits come into the Navy and in a short period of time you

Everyone has role in NASP’s stormwater management By NASP Public Works Department

Regardless if you live on or off installation, we all share our unique natural resource, water. This vital resource includes the groundwater we drink and surrounding waters such as bayous, creeks and bays. We all depend on clean water for our health, the environment, and our economy. NAS Pensacola works diligently to ensure its water resources are protected and managed efficiently and effectively. One important aspect of this stewardship is stormwater management. Three primary challenges of stormwater management are: draining stormwater quickly for flood prevention, ensuring stormwater has not picked up contaminants along the way and allowing stormwater to recharge groundwater and drinking water supplies.

Both options are more cost efficient. “Beneficiaries authorized for care at the UCC will not have any out of pocket expenses,” said Al Hijuelos, health systems manager, HUMANA. The UCC is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. for all

TRICARE beneficiaries. However, if a beneficiary believes they are having a medical condition that requires emergency care, they should immediately seek emergency assistance by calling 911 or visiting an ER. After visiting an ER, beneficiaries should contact their primary care manager for follow up and consultation.

own must turn to food banks and food pantries for emergency food assistance. Since the campaign began in 2009, federal workers have donated and collected 24.1 million pounds of food and other nonperishable items to support families across America. “Navy Region Southeast is excited to participate in the 2014 Feds Feeds Families campaign, where we can contribute to helping end hunger in America,” said Capt. Bob Williams, Navy Region Southeast regional chaplain. “We are always ready to serve our fellow citizens.” Navy Region Southeast is actively participating in this annual event by organizing collection and distributions locations at installations throughout the region, ensuring that all regional staff and service members have the chance to donate. The Navy Region Southeast chaplain’s office is responsible for coordinating the program, to include deliveries to local food banks and weighing the donations. Every installation is encouraged to set goals in order to have continued success with the campaign. Anyone who is interested may donate to the campaign. Some of the items on the campaign’s “most wanted” list include canned fruit in light syrup or its own juices, low sodium canned vegetables, multi-grain cereals, grains such as brown rice, canned proteins, soups, 100 percent juices, condiments, snacks, baking goods and hygiene items.

The national contact for the Feds Feeds Families campaign is Karen T. Comfort. She can be reached at (202) 690-0187 or fedsfeedsfamilies@usda.gov.

Candidates must have three years of commissioned service – but no more than 11 years of total active federal service as of April 1, 2015, to apply for the scholarship. Specific designator eligibility is listed in the NavAdmin. Historically, Olmsted Scholars have benefited from the program and continue to promote to senior leadership positions, including 12 past Navy scholars that achieved flag rank. One Olmsted scholar that uses his international experience on a daily basis in his job at the Pentagon is Capt. Jeff Kim, deputy director of the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Strategic Actions Group (N00Z). Kim studied at Leiden University in the Netherlands from 1997 to 1999 as an Olmsted Scholar. “The Olmsted Foundation Scholarship Program afforded me the rare opportunity as an active-duty officer to study fulltime at a foreign civilian institution,” Kim said. “The benefits of the program go well beyond country-specific expertise. Two years of language and cultural immersion at a European university allowed me to see global issues through a different lens. The Olmsted Scholarship is unique among postgraduate programs, and the education gained abroad continues to shape my thoughts on strategy and policy. Operating forward is at the core of what we do in the Navy, and Olmsted Scholars bring valuable perspectives and experiences to lead and support forward operations.” Olmsted scholars interact daily with locals and immerse themselves in the

Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla.: A Bicentennial Defense Community Commanding Officer — Capt. Keith Hoskins Public Affairs Officer — Harry C. White 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 bi-plane 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 the Navy’s most modern fighter aircraft, the F-18 Super Hornet. Established in 1921 as the Air Station News, the name Gosport was adopted in 1936. A gosport was a voice tube used by flight instructors in the early days of naval aviation to give instructions and directions to their students. The name “Gosport” was derived from Gosport, England (originally God’s Port), where the voice tube was invented. Gosport is an authorized newspaper published every Friday by Ballinger Publishing,

Debris can clog systems or be transported to waterways posing a hazard to wildlife. Report clogged storm drains to your building manager. • Place vegetation to cover bare spots in your yard. Using native plants has many benefits including decreased irrigation needs. • Use fertilizers sparingly and avoid pesticides. • Direct down spouts away from paved surfaces (preferably to a rain garden). • Pick up after your pet. Leaving pet waste on the ground increases public health risks by allowing harmful bacteria and nutrients to wash into storm drains and eventually into local bodies of water. Each individual can make a difference. For more tips and information, go to www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater.

CSS was established Feb. 7, 2003, in response to NETC’s initiative to address challenges in fleet training and to improve Sailors’ professional development products and processes. In streamlining the business of delivering training, NETC charged 15 learning centers like CSS with specific areas of naval training. NETC organized the centers around their functional areas and appropriately aligned schools and respective training sites to each center.

Olmsted scholars receive their normal pay and allowances, and if married, are normally accompanied by their families. The Center for Personal and Professional Development (CPPD) is currently accepting applications from regular or full time support line and Supply Corps officers for the FY-16 Olmsted Scholar Program. Applicants are required to meet a list of qualifications and prerequisites and submit a command-endorsed nomination package that must be received by CPPD in Pensacola no later than Aug. 29. In October, the applications are reviewed and a final, Navy-sponsored list of nominees is selected. Up to 10 Navy scholars may be selected by the Olmsted Foundation Board of Directors for the FY-16 program. The Olmsted Foundation, named in honor of Maj. Gen. George and Carol Olmsted, and the Department of Defense have jointly sponsored this scholarship program since 1959. Since its inception, the foundation has focused on educational and charitable purposes. Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bruce Scott serves as president and chief executive officer of the Olmsted Foundation and was an Olmsted Scholar from 1979-81 at the University of Freiburg (Albert Ludwig) in Freiburg, Germany. Scott believes the success of the program is a direct result of the vision of the man for which the foundation and the scholarship program is named. “Gen. Olmsted, our benefactor and

Take responsibility for ‘your home away from home’ By Fifi Kieschnick NAS Kingsville Public Affairs

Around your home, if you see something that’s not quite right or needs fixing, you take care of it. If it’s something you can take care of, you do it yourself. Otherwise, you call a repairman. What about your “home away from home?” It should be the same for your work center. It’s the concept for zone inspections, which are occurring around the air station. It’s paramount to taking responsibility for your “home away from home,” your work spaces. As directed by Rear Adm. Rick Williamson, Commander, Navy Region Southeast, NAS Kingsville is conducting zone inspections around the base. The program provides a framework for assessments of construction, maintenance, energy usage and safety. “Effective work zone inspection programs can increase safety for employees, increase compliance with agency standards and requirements, serve as a risk management tool, and help mitigate deficiencies in energy conservation,” said Capt. Chris Misner, NAS Kingsville commanding officer. Mike Sparks, NAS Kingsville safety manager, recently distributed the station’s new approach to zone inspections. “Initially, the inspections will occur monthly on a rotation basis. After supervisors become proficient at identifying deficiencies, we should be able to conduct them quarterly,” Sparks said. Sparks distributed a checklist with 16

The work zone inspection program provides a framework for assessments of construction, maintenance, energy usage and safety. areas of common hazards that may be observed when conducting inspections. The areas include general housekeeping, utility conservation, material handling and personal protective equipment, to name a few. “It’s a supervisor’s checklist for health, safety and housekeeping items that serves as a risk management and energy conservation tool,” Sparks said. “The Fire and Emergency Services Fire Prevention Department is the foundation to an effective fire protection and life safety program,” said Fire Chief Ruben Perez, of NAS Kingsville. “The goal for the Navy’s fire and emergency services prevention program is to reduce fire in the Navy by 50 percent every three years. “This is achieved by executing effective inspections, applying practical prevention controls, and delivering fire safety education,” Perez added. “These efforts directly support the admiral’s intent on zone inspections.” But, Fire and Emergency Services isn’t the only department on base that supports zone inspections. “The most important part of zone inspection is motivating Sailors by the level of involvement by the chain of command,” Misner said, “and we’re all involved in ensuring we maintain a safe

working environment. We also have, as a top priority, energy-usage reduction.” The first step in correcting deficiencies is noting them. So, completed checklists are returned to the Safety Office. From there, the information gathered is analyzed and corrective action can be put into place based on priorities such as safety, performance or even aesthetic deficiencies. Williamson visited NAS Kingsville in March as part of a familiarization tour. His visit also provided the impetus for the air station to solidify a zone inspection program. While at Air Operations, Williamson conducted a Preventive Maintenance spot-check on a Tower Control Workstation (TWC), part of the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) in the Air Traffic Control radar room, according to ETC (SW) Ricardo Quintana, ground electronics leading chief petty officer. “During the spot-check, the admiral verified that ET3 Scott Dunn was qualified to perform the maintenance, that the work center maintained the right Maintenance Requirement Card (MRC) used to conduct the maintenance,” Quintana said. “He also observed Dunn performing the maintenance and was impressed with his knowledge of the 3M program

and the knowledge of the equipment he is responsible for maintaining,” Williamson also visited the Child Development Center and saw the structural shifting of the facility and the need for an industrial kitchen to support the facility. “The health, safety and housekeeping zone inspection program will help ensure a safe and healthful workplace for our Sailors and civilian employees, as well as for the children in our care and the visitors to the air station,” Misner said. “It will also increase the life of facilities and equipment on board the air station by identifying deficiencies and hazards and having them abated before they become more serious.” Vice Adm. William French, CNIC, recently asked for everyone’s help and engagement for a culture change which is needed to made reducing energy a top priority. “We’ve made progress in the shore enterprise,” according to French. “We used a lot less energy in 2013 than we did in 2003. We’re also making progress in where we get our energy; in 2013, we were able to make or buy a lot of the energy we used in facilities from renewable sources. “That’s encouraging, but we still have more work to do to meet the Secretary of the Navy’s and Chief of Naval Operations’ goals for reducing energy consumption by 2020.” The work zone inspection program will help NAS Kingsville achieve energy-consumption reduction goals, as well as ensure a healthy and safe “home away from home.”

NETC Sailor sings on national TV Story, photo by Ens. Michael Patronik Training Support Center, San Diego Public Affairs

AS VEGAS – It had always been the dream of ST3 Destiny Coates to one day sing before a large audience – and thanks to the Academy of Country Music, that dream came true May 20. In early January of this year, while she was a student at the sonar technician A school at the Fleet Anti-Submarine Warfare Training Center, San Diego, Coates was told by friends about a Department of Defense-wide contest for service members to submit video auditions to the ACM for their televised salute to the troops. The special was to feature country music stars performing in concert with members from each branch of the military at the MGM Grand resort in Las Vegas – exactly the sort of thing Coates had always wanted to do. There was one problem, however. “I was incredibly sick, and there were only a couple days left to enter,” Coates said. “My voice was off, and I thought there was no way I’d ever get chosen.” In spite of not feeling her best, she sat down in her room and recorded herself singing the country hit “Fancy” by Reba McEntire, and sent the video along to the Department of Defense office handling the contest. She heard back within a week that she was chosen as a top-three finalist for the Navy, and then ultimately was chosen in March as the num-

ber-one pick to represent the Navy on the televised special. The road to singing on TV was long and winding, but one to which she knew she had long been suited. “I grew up singing in every choir under the sun,” she said. “I did jazz, blues and classical choirs, and I sang in a lot of country music singing contests.” Once she became an adult, though, Coates made the decision to leave behind a life of music in Everett, Wash., and join the Navy. She was initially unsure of entering the contest, as she’s only been on active duty for a couple of years and hasn’t yet deployed due to the long training pipeline for sonar technicians. But she relied upon the compelling story of a lifetime spent having tended to her long-ailing late mother and already knowing the hardships of having an active duty, forward-deployed spouse to make her case for the contest. CBS television sent a camera crew to San Diego to follow Coates and her husband, MN Kenny Coates, for several days to highlight for the audience the work active-duty Sailors perform. The produc-

ers also chose to surprise Coates with the revelation that she would be singing with a country music powerhouse. “They told me on-camera that I’d be performing with Keith Urban,” she said. “I couldn’t believe it.” Coates had just one week to learn Urban’s song “For you,” which was featured in the movie “Act of Valor,” before she was flown to Las Vegas to perform before a live audience of 14,000 at the MGM Grand. Coates said she was nervous leading up to the show, and also excited to meet a star like Urban. “There was all sorts of heavy security because of all the celebrities who were there for the ACM Awards the night

before,” she said. “But then Keith swept in, and he immediately put me at ease because he treated me like a fellow musician and asked my opinions about how to put on the best performance together. To have someone of that caliber take my opinions seriously was a big relief.” In addition to doing her best with just one day of rehearsal time in Las Vegas, Coates said she also had to represent the Navy in the best way possible, in spite of the instincts of the makeup artists to go overboard. “They wanted to put more makeup on me and to do something more interesting with my hair, but I made sure to keep everything within regulations

since I knew there’d potentially be millions of people watching at home,” she said. Coates also didn’t let her nerves get the best of her when she found out “NCIS Los Angeles” star and rapper LL Cool J was present. “I’m a child of the ’80s and ’90s, and when I heard he was around, I said I’d love to take a picture with him and my escort went and got him,” she said. “Then I started getting pictures with every famous person I could find.” When it came time to take the stage, Coates just wanted to make sure to hit her notes. “Keith told me, ‘You’ve got this,’ ” she said. “I sang with everything I had, and I was just glad I didn’t miss my notes or fall off stage.” Coates rounded out her time on stage with a triple standing ovation, and, because she was the first service member to go on, got to relax and take in the rest of the show from the front row with her husband. “This was a dream come true,” she added. “I grew up imagining myself on stage, but had written it off. But I got to live my dream.” “The All-Star Salute to the Troops” aired May 20 on CBS.

HT-8 receives prestigious Goldthwaite award

Cmdr. Matthew J. Bowen with the Vice Admiral Robert Goldthwaite Award for Training Excellence. From NASWF PAO

Helicopter Training Squadron Eight (HT-8), “Eightballers,” received the Vice

Admiral Robert Goldthwaite Award for Training Excellence from Rear Adm. Roy J. Kelley, Chief of Naval Air Training. Cmdr. Matthew J. Bowen, the former commanding officer for HT-8, accepted the award at a formal ceremony in the National Naval Aviation Museum recently. The squadron earned the three top awards in naval aviation training for the 2013 calendar year. The Vice Admiral Goldthwaite Award is awarded to the outstanding squadron in the Naval Air Training Command (NATraCom) and acknowledges the outstanding achievements of units engaged in the flight training of student naval aviators. HT-8 also obtained the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) Training Excellence Award for Advanced Squadron, identifying the best overall advanced training squadrons; and the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Aviation Safety Award, recognizing commands that display vigilance and dedication to the safety and well-being of the military service members within the command. “I never had a doubt that the Eightballer instructors and students were the best in CNATRA and some of the safest, but to see the squadron receive these awards reinforces what we have been doing over the past year: training the world’s best rotary wing pilots; safely

and with the highest quality,” said Bowen. The Eightballers distinguished themselves within the training community with multiple “CNATRA Best Practice” citations for the Eightball University, an online portal for student flight training resources; and their implementation of the Commander, Naval Air Forces Aviation Safety Awareness Program (CNAF ASAP Program) which highlights the common errors or potential weaknesses and allows for a more directed focus on the squadron’s weaknesses to improve training methods. According to the award nomination package, HT-8 maintained a standard of excellence in the professional and personal development of its student naval aviators and aggressively addressed students’ needs within flight training and personal matters. The command also proactively contributed to the local community volunteering 85 man-hours; establishing a standard for selfless service to the local area while enhancing support and camaraderie with the civilian population. Bowen expressed his sentiments and pride in HT-8’s hard work and dedication: “Often individuals look to the CO to give him or her all the credit for earning three awards in one year, but this is far from the truth. My command philos-

ophy is ELITE: excel, learn, inspire, teach and enjoy. “I have empowered my instructor pilots, aircrewmen and students with integrity and accomplishing the goal of the mission when it could be accomplished safely. I was never one to push a mission just to get an ‘X’ in the box and because of that I feel the squadron was able to have fun while getting the job done. I never doubted anyone’s ability to accomplish the mission.” These attitudes were demonstrated in 2013, as HT-8 flew 21,137.4 safe, mishap-free flight hours producing 156 winged naval aviators for the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and allied partners and trained 22 MV-22 “Osprey” pilots for the Marine Corps. The squadron also maintained a significantly lower attrition rate at 3.4 percent than the historical average. “I am honored that HT-8 has received so many accolades in just one year, but we are only a component of an incredible CNATRA, Training Air Wing Five and NAS Whiting Field team. We certainly could not do our job without the support of our wing, NAS Whiting Field or our sister squadron,” said Bowen. Both the CNATRA Training Excellence Award for Advanced Squadron and the CNO Aviation Safety Award will be presented to the squadron at a later date.

Whiting Sailors wear new ranks after frocking From NASWF PAO

Naval Air Station (NAS) Whiting Field recognized the accomplishments of soon-to-be-advanced Sailors during a frocking ceremony May 29. Twentysix Sailors were all smiles as they were able to wear the new collar devices for the first time. The frocking ceremony is a Navy tradition that provides the selected Sailors an opportunity to wear the uniform and take on the responsibilities of their new rank before they are formally advanced. Second class petty officers were frocked to first class, third class petty officers were frocked to second class and airmen frocked to third class. Each Sailor received a frocking letter from Capt. Matthew Coughlin, NAS Whiting Field commanding officer, which reads in part, “Your appointment carries with it the obligation that you exercise increased authority and willingly

accept greater responsibility. Occupying now a position of greater authority, you must strive with a renewed dedication toward the valued ideal of service with honor.” Sailors selected for advancement with their new ranks were: ABH1 Derrick A. Battle, ABH1 David J. Casados, ABH1 David L. Castro, ABH1 Michael J. Edwards, ABH1 David D. Hernandez, ABH1 Haskell B. Jackson, ABH1 Shawn M. Johnson, ABH1 Zachary T. Nance, ABH1 Julian G. Ortiz, ABH1 Boubacar Tinni, ABH2 Robert A. Charay, MA2 Mary L. Corrales, ABH2 Justin S. Hill, AC2 David A. Knight, AC2 Jeremy K. Merki, AC2 Preston P. Miller, AC3 Daniel V. Adams, AC3 John G.

‘Thanks, Dad.’ From U.S. Census Bureau

he idea of Father’s Day was conceived slightly more than a century ago by Sonora Dodd of Spokane, Wash., while she listened to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart, a widowed Civil War veteran who was left to raise his six children on a farm. A day in June was chosen for the first Father’s Day celebration, June 17, 1910, proclaimed by Spokane’s mayor because it was the month of Smart’s birth. The first presidential proclamation honoring fathers was issued in 1966 when President Lyndon Johnson designated the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Father’s Day has been celebrated annually since 1972 when President Richard Nixon signed the public law that made it permanent. How many fathers? • 70.1 million. Estimated number of fathers across the nation in 2008, the most recent year for which data are available. • 24.7 million. Number of fathers who were part of married-couple families with children younger than 18 in 2013.

• 21 percent were raising three or more children younger than 18 (among married-couple family households only). • 3 percent were a subfamily living in someone else’s home. • 2.0 million. Number of single fathers in 2013; 17 percent of single parents were men. • 9 percent were raising three or more children younger than 18. • About 44 percent were divorced, 33 percent were never married, 19 percent were separated, and 4.2 percent were widowed. • 39 percent had an annual family income of $50,000 or more. Stay at home dads • 214,000. Estimated number of stay-at-home dads in 2013. These married fathers with children younger than 15 have remained out

of the labor force for at least one year primarily so they can care for the family while their wife works outside the home. These fathers cared for about 434,000 children. • 18 percent. In spring 2011, the percentage of preschoolers regularly cared for by their father during their mother's working hours. Child-support payments • $2 billion. Amount of child support received by custodial fathers in 2011; they were due $3.7 billion. In contrast, custodial mothers received $19.5 billion of the $31.7 billion in support that was due. • 41.4 percent. Percentage of custodial fathers who received all child support that was due in 2011, not significantly different from the corresponding percentage for custodial mothers, 43.6 percent.

• 63.9 percent. Percentage of custodial fathers receiving noncash support, such as gifts or coverage of expenses, on behalf of their children. The corresponding proportion for mothers was 55.0 percent. Thinking of you, dad • 7,422. The number of men’s clothing stores around the country in 2011, a good place to buy dad a tie or shirt. • 21,227. Number of sporting goods stores in 2011. These stores are good places to purchase traditional gifts for dad, such as fishing rods and golf clubs. • 79.1 million. The number of Americans who participated in a barbecue in 2010. It’s probably safe to assume many of these barbecues took place on Father’s Day.

Father’s Day reflections “It doesn’t matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.” – Anne Sexton “If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let him take comfort from the fact that whatever he does in any fathering situation he has a 50 percent chance of being right.” – Bill Cosby “One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.” – George Herbert “It is much easier to become a father than to be one.” – Kent Nerburn

Jokes & Groaners Just 100 years later ... In 1914, fathers could count on children to join the family business. Today, fathers hope their children will soon come home from college long enough to teach them how to hook up the router and set up a Twitter account. In 1914, fathers pined for the old country – Ireland, Italy or Germany. Today, fathers pine for old country – Hank Williams. In 1914, fathers pined for the old school, which meant a one-room, red-brick building. Today, fathers pine for old school, which means Dr. J. and Mickey Mantle.

NSTI officer in charge awarded national aerospace award From NMOTC PAO

he officer-in-charge of the U.S. Navy’s premier operational aviation survival and human performance training facility was recognized May 14 with a senior aerospace physiologist award at a national conference. Naval Survival Training Institute (NSTI) officer-in-charge, Capt. Matthew Hebert, was awarded the Fred A. Hitchcock Award by the Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA) during the association’s 85th annual scientific meeting at the Hilton Bayfront Hotel in San Diego. Hebert, the first Navy AsMA member to win the award since 2010, said the award represents a career’s worth of efforts in the fields of aerospace medicine and aerospace physiology. “I am honored to be selected,” he said. “It is humbling to know that the contributions I have made to the Navy and to operational and aerospace physiology community

were recognized, and hopefully some of the things that I was able to put into place will have long lasting effects to help future aviators and scientists accomplish their goals.” The previous three years’ recipients have all been U.S. Air Force personnel. The Fred A. Hitchcock Award recognizes career contributions of senior aerospace physiologists for excellence in either operational aerospace physiology or aerospace physiology research. The award was established in 1972 and is named in honor of Fred A. Hitchcock, co-translator of Paul Bert’s classic work, “Barometric Pressure.” Hebert received the

award for work done at his previous command, the U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED), where he served as the Naval Aviation Survival Training Program (NASTP) manager and Aviation Opera-

tional Physiology community specialty leader. AsMA, recognized as the international leader in aviation, space and environmental medicine, is an organization dedicated to the application and advancement of scientific knowledge promoting and enhancing the health, safety and performance of those involved in aerospace and related activities. NSTI is part of the Navy Medicine Operational Training Center (NMOTC), the recognized global leader in operational medical and aviation survival training which reports to Navy Medicine Educa-

Capt. Matthew Hebert

tion and Training Command (NMETC). NMETC manages Navy Medicine’s formal enlisted and officer education and training programs, medical operational training for medical and medical support

personnel deploying worldwide, and training that prepares aviators and flight crews to survive in land and water mishaps. NSTI, NMOTC and NMETC are part of the Navy Medicine team, a global health care network of Navy medical professionals around the world who provide high-quality health care to more than one million eligible beneficiaries. Navy Medicine personnel deploy with Sailors and Marines worldwide, providing critical mission support aboard ships, in the air, under the sea and on the battlefield. NEX at NHP ... Capt.

Take the pledge: Commit to summer of responsible behavior By Rear Adm. Sean S. Buck Director, 21st Century Sailor Office

he signs of summer are a cause for celebration. Whether you celebrate with a barbecue, a day at the beach or by attending a baseball game responsible use of alcohol is essential. Every summer preventable accidents take the lives of Sailors and many of these unfortunate incidents involve the use of alcohol. According to the Naval Safety Center, 16 Sailors and 10 Marines lost their lives last summer due to fatal mishaps, five of which were alcohol-related. While this was a 21 percent decrease from the previous summer, and a 30 percent decrease from the five-year average, this is still 26 too many lives lost.

To prevent these accidents from occurring, the Navy’s Keep What You’ve Earned campaign reminds Sailors that as responsible, decision-making adults, your career success is ultimately in your own hands. If you choose to drink, you should do so responsibly. In line with the Naval Safety Center’s summer safety awareness program, the Keep What You’ve Earned campaign is presenting its second annual “Play to Live, Live to Play” summer pledge

Your City, Your Magazine

available at https://www.survey monkey.com/s/SummerPledge2014. All Navy personnel are being encouraged to sign the pledge as a commitment to drinking responsibly during the 101 days of summer. The pledge asks you to commit to at least one responsible behavior: 1. Plan ahead for a safe ride home, 2. Don’t try to “keep up” with others, and 3. Know your limit for alcohol, before you get there, in addition to any other responsible drinking habits you would like to commit to. The pledge serves as personal commitment for Sailors to drink responsibly this summer and is completely confidential. The pledge submissions will not be used for statistical compilations for research or policy assessment purposes. Providing your name is completely op-

tional, and no names will be attributed to the information submitted. When it comes to alcohol use, we all have a role in changing the social norms of our Navy and encouraging our shipmates to keep what you’ve earned. It’s simple: think before you drink. Make the pledge to drink responsibly this summer. For more information on how you can encourage responsible drinking among Sailors, visit www.nadap.navy.mil or call 1-866-U-ASK-NPC. Privacy disclaimer: Your decision to take part in the “Play to Live Pledge” is voluntary and you may refuse to take part, or choose to stop taking part, at any time. A decision not to take part or to stop being a part of the pledge will not negatively impact you in any way. This pledge does not constitute as a survey and is for personal use only.
