Educational benefits for family members: Just ask By Jason J. Bortz NAS Pensacola Public Affairs Officer
Active-duty service members have many options for assistance in furthering their education, but military spouses and dependents are also eligible for benefits. The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) Education Assistance Program offers interest-free loans and grants ranging from $500 to $3,000 per academic year to spouses of active-duty and retired service members for undergraduate programs at an accredited two- or four-year institution. The Department of Veterans Affairs also offers programs to assist with tuition costs for military spouses such as the Post-9/11 GI Bill, scholarships and education assistance programs for dependents of veterans who are permanently disabled due to a service-related condition. For the Post-9/11 GI Bill, service members must transfer all 36 months or the portion of unused benefits to a spouse or child while still on
active duty. There are also federal and state benefits that military spouses can apply for to further their education. Each state has different programs and resources available to assist military spouses with education. The web site www.statepolicy.militaryonesource.mil has information for each state. To help sort through the abundance of benefits and options available, spouses and dependents can utilize the Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC). At the FFSC onboard NAS Pensacola, Terri Stine, a work and family life specialist, can help spouses and dependents find benefits that meet their educational goals whether it is obtaining a general educational development (GED) or earning a master’s degree. “There are a lot of benefits available to military spouses and dependents,” Stine said. “I can help explain scholarship options or help select an appropriate See Education on page 2

NASP Religious Ministries Department hosts professional training workshop From Naval Air Station Pensacola Public Affairs
Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola’s Religious Ministries Department hosted a four-day Professional Development Workshop June 3 to 6 at the All Saint’s Chapel and Navy Gateway Inn and Suites onboard NAS Pensacola. The workshop, organized by NAS Pensacola Religious Ministries Department Deputy Chaplain Lt. Richard Tiff and attended by more than 100 U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard Chaplains and Religious Programs Specialists (RPs), included various presen-
tations on issues currently impacting the Chaplain Corps (CHC). Additional lectures included a series of talks from U.S. Navy Chief of Chaplains and Director of Religious Ministries Rear Adm. Brent W. Scott, who unveiled the importance of the Department of the Navy (DoN) recently released Strategic Plan for Religious Ministry to workshop attendees. “I think (the plan) is relevant right now because of what the Navy at large is preparing for and with the kind of combat
Desert Storm ‘MiG killer’ aircraft arrive at museum From National Naval Aviation Museum
A pair of F/A-18C Hornets with significant combat histories recently arrived at the National Naval Aviation Museum for restoration and eventual display. On Jan. 17, 1991, Lt. Cmdr. Mark Fox and Lt. Nick Mongillo of Strike Fighter Squadron Eighty-One (VFA-81) were flying the airplanes on a combat mission over Iraq during Operation Desert Storm. The pair engaged two Iraqi MiG-21 fighters, shooting them both down, and then carried out a successful bombing
mission against a hangar, fuel stores and a control station. These represented the first kills of enemy aircraft by naval aviators during the Gulf War. “With the retirement of the legacy Hornets from naval aviation squadrons after decades of service, these historic aircraft were at the top of our wish list for acquisition,” Museum Director retired Navy Capt. Sterling Gilliam said. “They represent links to an important chapter in naval aviation history.” See MiG killers on page 2
that we may encounter in the future,” he said. “With great power competition and distributed maritime operations, we’re looking to move the Chaplain Corps from a phase ‘zero’ mentality to a mentality that’s operational – an operational perspective – and to think how we’re going to do that and execute support at and from the sea.” Scott added that the annual conference, held at 12 different locations around the world to provide a sense of uniform understanding throughout the Chaplain Corps, also standardizes training and provides an opportunity to discuss the DoN Strategic See RPs on page 2

CNP visits Naval Education and Training Command From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs
WASHINGTON (NNS) – Vice Adm. John Nowell, the Navy’s 59th chief of naval personnel (CNP) concluded a two-day visit to Pensacola where he was able to extend his appreciation to the workforce of Naval Education and Training Command (NETC), Navy’s force development command, June 13. Nowell spent time visiting local commands and recognizing Sailors and civilians who contribute to the Navy’s “street-to-fleet” team responsible for Navy recruiting, education and training. “The Sailors and civilians here are doing a phenomenal job ensuring we are recruiting top talent and are training the force – across a continuum of career waypoints – to be ready for the challenges of an increasingly dynamic maritime environment,” Nowell said. “The collective force development team is implementing systems and processes that are making training shorter and more effective – amazing work at all levels.” NETC, led by Rear Adm. Kyle Cozad, oversees a 12,000-plus Sailor and civilian workforce who work to train almost 30,000 Sailors on a daily basis across 240 learning sites worldwide. NETC is credited with advancing the U.S. Fleet Forces-led Ready, Relevant Learning (RRL) initiative across its learning sites. The Center for Surface Combat Systems Unit Great Lakes graduated the first group of stu-
dents to complete the initial run of its modernized operations specialist training course, May 24, which provides a virtual, simulation environment where students learn the same way as they would in an operational combat information center. NETC has also integrated innovative training platforms into its learning centers. For example, the Multipurpose Reconfigurable Training System 3D®, a virtual team trainer being used at Naval Submarine School, Groton, Conn., replicates the auxiliary machinery room of a Virginia-class submarine. These modifications have helped qualify students significantly faster as diesel operators than those students who went through a modulebased approach. During an All Hands Call at NETC, Nowell thanked Sailors and civilians for their hard work and emphasized that he intends to continue the aggressive push on initiatives like Sailor 2025 and its RRL pillar. “Now is the time that the entire MyNavy HR Team must focus on the operationalization of our transformation vision and efforts,” he said. “It is critical that we hold firm to our principles: focus on Sailors and their families; enhance Sailors’ experiences; leverage diverse teams to make better choices; deliver unparalleled customer service and forge our toughness. You all play a part in all five of those principles and in overall the strength of our force.” Sailors and civilians present were encouraged by the
visit and the recognition of the importance of their work. “It’s great to hear from CNP where we are headed as a Navy with transforming how we do business,” Dorothy Berry, an analyst for planning and training excellence in NETC’s strategy, innovation and voluntary education division said. “We see how hard our learning centers and their instructors work to deliver quality training to our Sailors and continuing to pursue modernized and smarter ways of delivering that training is something we all care deeply about.” CNP’s other stops in Pensacola included visits to Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center, Naval Education and Training Security Assistance Field Activity, Naval Air Technical Training Center, and Center for Information Warfare Training. Nowell also took time to highlight the significant contributions of several civilians within the NETC domain in efforts ranging from RRL to the development and implementation of the electronic Professional Military Knowledge Eligibility Exam App. NETC’s mission is to develop the workforce through education and training that builds personal, professional and leadership skills.

MiG killers from page 1 “Several years ago, somebody told me the airplane I had flown on the MiG kill mission ... was being flown by the Marines in their Hornet FRS (Fleet Replacement Squadron) at Miramar, and that it still had a MiG kill/Iraqi flag painted on it,” Fox, now a retired vice admiral, said. “So I was generally aware it was still around and had continued to serve a useful purpose. The jets we flew in VFA-81 in Desert Storm were (at the time) brand new ... and it appears the taxpayers got their money’s worth out of them.” Mongillo, who retired from the Navy as a captain, lost track of his MiG-kill aircraft a number of years ago. On that momentous day, he was a nugget, the term used in the Navy for an aviator on his first deployment. “The fog of war was real, especially on the first few days of combat,” he recalled recently. “I was a bit overwhelmed by the constant radio chatter and accompanying communication chaos. (But) I suppressed my anxiety, focused on the task at hand, and reverted to my training when we were alerted to the MiGs.” Fox and Mongillo’s kills were the last recorded by naval aviators until June 18, 2017, when Lt. Cmdr. Michael Tremel shot down a Syrian Su-22. The National Naval Aviation Museum is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola. For further information about the museum, call 452-3604 or visit its website at www.navalaviationmuseum.org.

Education from page 1 school or program.” Stine explained that one of the unique factors for many spouses at NAS Pensacola is that they are only here for a short period of time while their spouse are in training. This can limit some of the educational options, but there are still plenty of choices and resources available such as online programs. “Before going with an online program, make sure it’s accredited or check with a Fleet and Family Support Center,” Stine warned. In addition to FFSC, MilitaryOneSource provides education consultants to assists service members and their families. The service is free and provides a confidential one-on-one session with an expert in education resources. The consultants can assist with selecting a college, locating sources for financial aid, finding military-friendly schools that allow previous college credits to be transferred and getting credentials converted and diplomas translated to meet state requirements. For more information, visit www.militaryonesource.mil or call 1 (800) 342-9647. With all of the options and benefits available to military family members, earning a degree or certification is worth pursuing. All family members have to do is ask for assistance.

RPs from page 1 Plan for Religious Ministry. He also stressed the importance of the Chaplain Corps diverse capabilities, and his desire to ensure that service members staffing the organization’s ranks remain cognizant of their changing mission. “Chaplains and RPs function in every single domain of the Navy,” he said. “We have religious ministries teams that are working at training commands, and we have them at bases like (NAS Pensacola). We have them in hospitals – they are on ships, they are in Marine battalions, they are in the U.S. Coast Guard. I think it’s important that the perspective, regardless of where we are operating, is the same.” Goals of the DoN Strategic Plan for Religious Ministry include adopting an operational approach to religious ministries, sharpening the organization’s core capabilities, developing Chaplain Corps Leaders and championing the spiritual Readiness of Sailors and Marines. Tiff added that the strategic plan served to further his capabilities in dealing with the myriad of issues members of the religious ministries community can face. “Here at NAS Pensacola, we train young men and women to be in the aviation field and this type of workshop provides us the opportunity to be chaplains in a way that is relevant and useful while they prepare for their particular trades,” he said. “I talk to a lot of young men and women who are starting their careers in the Navy. This type of workshop gives me tools that can help me speak to their specific needs so that they can be effective in their particular field of study as they prepare to go out to the fleet. We as chaplains are there to empower them and give them the spiritual fitness and resiliency they need.” The NAS Pensacola Religious Ministries Department, staffed by three chaplains and three Religious

Junior Navy scientists, engineers develop integration capability for electric weapons By John Joyce Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division Public Affairs
D
AHLGREN, Virginia (NNS) – It has all the trappings of a bestselling Navy technological thriller – six junior scientists and engineers overcame the odds to develop a new capability that enables the integration of electric weapons aboard Navy ships. The recent college graduates – Navy civilian employees selected for a special workforce development program known as Sly Fox – verified the veracity of their research and demonstrated that their Power and Energy Generation Analysis SimUlation System (PEGASUS) is not fiction. The Sly Fox Mission 25 team proved the potential of PEGASUS to integrate electric weapons and electric propulsion systems aboard Navy ships in several demonstrations held at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD), May 31. “We developed a durable, model-based systems engineering capability for use in the integration of electric weapons on Navy ships,” Josh Hellerick, Sly Fox Mission 25 scientist said. “This model has the ability to implement multiple different electric weapon system modules, as well as complex mission profiles, including firing frequency, duration, power, ship’s propulsion, ship’s hotel and power generation systems.” At first, Hellerick and his five Sly Fox Mission 25 colleagues were strangers to each other while put in a room and tasked as a team to do what it takes to ensure the survival and success of their Sly Fox mission. They took time to get to know each other, including their strengths and weaknesses, while responding to the Navy’s need for a tool that enables the integration of highpowered electric weapons on naval ships as engineers design new ships. The PEGASUS innovation enables this integration via engineering models of combat and power elements coupled with mission profiles to calculate the ship’s power needs profile. “I learned how different personalities can come together or clash, and that these disagreements contribute to
producing a better system,” Courtney Fredrickson, Sly Fox Mission 25 engineer said. The team persevered through long hours and weekends under high stress while developing the PEGASUS capability that models expected power and energy needs of a specified ship configuration. “There were high expectations in regards to our mission since it was the first Sly Fox Mission to collaborate with another warfare center,” Marie Zacarias-Morro, Sly Fox Mission 25 scientist said. “The collaboration with NSWC Philadelphia Division was key to this effort. They provided us with critical insight into ship power systems that allowed us to reach our mission objective and deliver our final product.” The team of mentors – senior NSWCDD scientists and engineers – ensured a strong focus on technical rigor as they taught the Sly Fox team how to perform under pressure with limited funds and a six-month deadline. “Sly Fox provides an opportunity for an entry level team to come together, solve real problems, operate within a real budget, and span the systems engineering process from concept to demonstration in six months,” Tony Scaramozzi, Sly Fox mentor, who provided guidance as the team developed the PEGASUS solution said. “A systems view of requirements analysis, analysis of alternatives, risk management, development, test, and demonstration are elements of the process,” he added. Sly Fox Mission 25 team members explained the process and the background of their mission at the demonstration. Moreover, they wrote an overview on PEGASUS published in a brochure provided to attendees. “As more high-powered

electric weapons and sensors are added to the fleet, more ship-board electric power is required; at the same time, electric propulsion systems with their own electricity demands are being adapted,” according to the brochure. “However, naval ship design criteria and integration practices do not exist for integrating high-powered electric weapon systems and electric propulsion systems into a common hull. These efforts highlight the common issues and challenges of integrating electric weapons on-to ships. Sly Fox Mission 25 was tasked to address this need and developed PEGASUS.” At the demonstration, the team discussed the Navy’s previous efforts to integrate ship service power with electric propulsion aboard DDG 1000 – lead ship of the Zumwalt-class destroyers, a class of next-generation multi-mission surface combatants. Sly Fox team members have been brainstorming a solution since December 2018. Along the way, their collaboration with subject matter experts from NSWC Philadelphia Division – who provided insight into ship power systems and delivery – proved critical to mission success. “We also developed two module libraries – the Weapons Library and the HM&E (Hull, Mechanical and Electrical) Library,” Peter Corrao, Sly Fox Mission 25 aerospace engineer said. “By design, the
PEGASUS model is highly expandable and customizable. We proved this when we implemented an unmanned vehicle at the near end of our mission.” The team was able to build a set of models, architectures, data structures and interfaces that will allow for the development of combat system, power and electric system, and electric weapon and sensor requirements that will then enable develop and demonstration of better management and allocation of shipboard electric power. “I have a better understanding of the systems engineering process from design, concepts, testing and demonstration as well as the programmatic aspects of a project such as budget, schedule, and risk,” Daniel Apolinar, Sly Fox Mission 25 mathematician said. “I will apply the lessons learned both in my professional work and outside of work. The best of all is working with an amazing team and mentors that made this a truly unforgettable experience.” Moreover, the Mission 25 team followed a rapid prototype development process to assess requirements, analyze and evaluate alternatives, design, develop, and test the system, and produce the product. In all, six formal systems engineering technical reviews were conducted on PEGASUS: requirements review, concept review, design review, system test readiness re-
view, demo readiness review and the final review. “Throughout my career in industry and government, and as a systems engineer, program manager and supervisor, I had never seen a workforce development initiative for young engineers and scientists that is as robust in its design and execution as Sly Fox,” Bill Walsh, Sly Fox Program director said. “Looking forward, and working with the CTO (Chief Technology Office) and all Dahlgren leadership, we hope to strengthen an already solid program by aligning Sly Fox with the innovative initiatives and strategic goals of NSWCDD, and to become a cornerstone in the investment that Dahlgren is making in our future.” “I will remember lessons learned through this program for the rest of my career,” Alexa Thomas, Sly Fox Mission 25 mathematician said. “Sly Fox has helped me understand so much more about the systems engineering process, and it allowed me to touch on topics I never would have seen this early in my career otherwise. Learning how to work on a team like this was something I have never experienced previously, and I will always be grateful for this valuable experience.” Get more information about the Navy from U.S. Navy Facebook or Twitter.

Navy makes progress to expand oversight of PPV housing program

From Commander, Navy Installations Command Public Affairs WASHINGTON (NNS) – The Navy has taken another step forward to improve the quality of life of service members and their families as well as better address housing concerns now and into the future. A central housing electronic data warehouse that will pro-
vide consistent oversight of the Navy’s Private Partner Venture (PPV) and government housing programs is currently in development and expected to be up and running by the end of September 2019. “In keeping with our policy of transparency, the Navy has full access to the privatized housing partners’ maintenance databases,” Cmdr. Benjamin Turner said. “Now with a centralized da-
tabase, the Navy can better monitor, validate and inquire about specific issues.” Turner, who is assigned to Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), is an asset management liaison officer to Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC), which oversees the Navy’s housing program. The system will automatically pull and compile maintenance records from all managing members of Navy PPV housing. The Navy currently gathers the information through a manual download and upload, which can take time to generate reports. “This new system will help provide the Navy with real-time and detailed reports of maintenance requests submitted by our Sailors and families and the partners’ progress to address those requests at our fingertips,” Greg Wright, housing director for CNIC, said.
Working with the housing partners, the Navy is standardizing the work descriptions and categories used within the maintenance management programs to ensure the data noted in the reports are consistent. Clear guidance on what is a health issue and safety issue will provide leaders a better understanding of the issues at each location, Turner said. “At the end of the day, we want our warfighters and families to live in quality homes that meet all health and safety standards,” Wright added. “This system will help us do just that.” In addition to tracking the timeliness of work orders, the housing partners are providing weekly maintenance and customer satisfaction reports to Housing Service Centers (HSC) and installation commanding officers. Navy leaders are able to increase their Sailor and family advocacy by identifying and addressing nega-
tive trends in customer service quickly, which was a common issue identified during recent town halls and home visits. The second phase of the database, which is also expected to launch in late September, will include housing information for Navy-owned family and unaccompanied housing. If you have issues with privatized housing, you can contact Navy housing headquarters at NavyHousingHQ@navy.mil. Those interested in learning more about the PPV housing options can contact their local HSC. HSC contact information is available at http://www.cnic. navy.mil/ContactHousing.

Navy to christen Littoral Combat Ship Minneapolis-Saint Paul From the Office of the Navy Chief of Information WASHINGTON (NNS) – The Navy christened its newest Freedom-variant littoral combat ship (LCS), the USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul (LCS 21), during a 10 a.m. CDT ceremony June 15, in Marinette, Wisconsin. U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum of Minnesota delivered the christening ceremony’s principal address. Deputy Under Secretary of the Navy Ms. Jodi Greene served as the ship’s sponsor. In a time-honored Navy tradition, Ms. Greene christened the ship by breaking a bottle of sparkling wine across the bow. “The christening of the future USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul marks an important step toward this great ship’s entry into the fleet,” Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer said. “The dedication and skilled work of our industry part-
ners have ensured this ship will represent the great city of Minneapolis Saint Paul and serve of our Navy and Marine Corps team for decades to come.” The future USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul is a fast, agile, focused-mission platform designed for operation in nearshore environments yet capable of open-ocean operation. It is designed to defeat asymmetric “anti-access” threats such as mines, quiet diesel submarines and fast surface craft. The ship will be homeported in Mayport, Florida. The LCS class consists of two variants, the Freedom variant and the Independence variant, designed and built by two industry teams. The Freedom variant team is led by Lockheed Martin in Marinette, Wisconsin (for the odd-numbered hulls). The Independence variant team is led by Austal USA in Mobile, Alabama, (for LCS 6 and the subsequent evennumbered hulls).
LCS 21 is the 11th Freedom-variant LCS, the 21st in the class. She is the second ship named in honor of Minnesota’s twin cities. The first was a Los Angeles-class fast attack submarine that served from 1984 to 2008. Two U.S. Navy ships have been named for Minneapolis and two for St. Paul. The first Minneapolis was a cruiser commissioned from 1894 until 1921. The second Minneapolis was a New Orleansclass cruiser commissioned in 1934, earning 16 battle stars for World War II service by 1946, when it was decommissioned. The first St. Paul, a passenger liner chartered by the Navy, served in the Spanish-American War and in World War I. The second St. Paul was a Baltimore-class cruiser commissioned in 1945, earned one battle star for World War II service, eight battle stars for Korean service, and eight battle stars for Vietnam service by the time it was decommissioned in 1971.

Airfield management: ‘Keeping aviation training running safely’ By Lt.j.g. Drake Greer NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs Office
D
irectly responsible for the 12 different outlying landing fields in Alabama and Florida, and two airfields on the base used for naval aviation training at Naval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF), one would be surprised to learn that airfield management has only existed officially in the Navy since 2012. Originally only a collateral duty for Air Traffic Controller Facility Officers, the Navy began to adopt similar policies to the Army and Air Force by maintaining airfield management as a full time position and responsibility. The airfield management team is currently located in the NASWF Command Building and is responsible for the safe and efficient operations at the airfields and their primary facilities. The airfield management office, led by Dr. Leann Bair, Whiting Field’s airfield manager, is comprised of 13 active enlisted military and eight civilians. The civilians are either management in charge of project review and creation, or specialists who work the duty desk, inspect airfields and help manage wildlife on and around the airfields. Airfield management handles all airfield inspection, maintenance, scheduling and coordination of daily operations along with wildlife detection and dispersal. Airfield specialists inspect each airfield daily to ensure they are maintained and ready for safe flight operations. They work closely with the three U.S.
Department of Agriculture wildlife specialists assigned to NAS Whiting Field and are capable of identifying wildlife and authorized with the final decision about how to handle wildlife to ensure the airfields are safe for the aircraft. “We help protect the aircraft from damaging wildlife strikes by moving the wildlife away from the aircraft operating areas,” Randy Smith, assistant airfield manager who has been
Originally a surface electronics warrant officer, Smith transferred to Whiting Field as the Ground Electronics Maintenance Officer before retiring and then working with airfield management. Together, the civilians in airfield management have an estimated total of 180 years of experience among them. “Whenever the (air traffic control) towers are open, we’re here,” Doug Wood, airfield specialist said. Airfield management hours begin at 5 a.m., when specialists arrive at each airfield to inspect the runways, landing pads and facilities. Despite differences in airfields used for primary fixed wing training or helicopter training, both inspections follow similar parameters, looking for anything that needs to be addressed before the flight operations begin for the day. Throughout the day, airfield management is in touch with the base’s air traffic controllers, squadron Flight Duty Officers

and Training Air Wing Five to maintain airfield integrity, usually with the last shift ending at 1 a.m. the next day. “When pilots have blown tires, we’re out there inspecting the runway and coordinating getting personnel out of there,” Wood explained. The enlisted members of the team are all Aviation Boatswain’s Mates (Handling) and, in ABH2 Christina Heron’s words, it is a lot different from serving on a ship. “It’s good as far as shore duties go,” she noted. “We come in early, get our eight hours in. It is good for the ABs. It helps us adapt out of our element.” The enlisted staff function is similar to the airfield specialists in that they conduct airfield inspections and wildlife dispersals, and perform other functions for the base, if necessary. “The biggest change (from working on a ship) is working with civilians but we’ve adapted quickly,” Heron remarked.

with NASWF for the past 14 years noted. “There are multiple methods we use to herd birds and other wildlife away from the airfields: pyrotechnics, recorded sounds, clapper boards.”
A pothole caused by a lightning strike to an outlying landing field runway could cause problems for aircraft on the field. Early morning inspections by airfield management team members at 5 a.m. daily help identify issues needing to be addressed quickly to maintain the operations tempo that makes NASWF the busiest aviation training base in the Navy.

Law enforcement officers across the nation team up for
Operation Dry Water – July 5 to 7 National BUI enforcement and education campaign
From www.operationdrywater.org
O
peration Dry Water (ODW) is a year-round boating under the influence awareness and enforcement campaign. The mission of ODW is to reduce the number of alcohol- and drug-related accidents and fatalities through increased recreational boater awareness and by fostering a stronger and more visible deterrent to alcohol use on the water. Operation Dry Water’s heightened awareness and enforcement three-day weekend (July 5 to 7) takes place annually around July fourth, a holiday unfortunately known for drinking and boating, and deadly accidents. ODW is coordinated by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA), in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard as well as local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. Agencies from all 56 U.S. states, trusts and territories are expected to participate in Operation Dry Water and in the Operation Dry Water 2018 heightened awareness and enforcement weekend. Launched in 2009 by NASBLA in partnership with the United States Coast Guard, ODW has been a highly successful campaign, drawing public attention to the dangers of boating under the influence (BUI) of alcohol and drugs. Since the inception of the Operation Dry Water Campaign in 2009, law enforcement officers have removed 3,038 BUI operators from the nation’s waterways and made contact with more than 1.1 million boaters during the annual three-day weekend. The campaign contin-
ues to make a significant impact on boater safety and spreading the message of the danger of boating under the influence. Alcohol use is the leading known contributing factor in fatal boating accidents; where the primary cause was known, it was listed as the leading factor in 19 percent of deaths according to U.S. Coast Guard Recreational Boating Statistics 2017. The Operation Dry Water outreach and awareness portion of the campaign is in effect year-round. Through the
ceptance of drinking and boating. Operation Dry Water 2018: In 2018, 574 local, state and federal agencies participated in Operation Dry Water. During the three-day heightened awareness and enforcement weekend law enforcement officers contacted more than 291,000 boaters, made 494BUI arrests and issued more than 26,000 citations and warnings for safety violations. In 2018, more than 7,418 officers from 574 local, state, and

deaths. Operating a boat with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or higher is against federal law and most state laws. Alcohol can impair a boater’s judgment, balance, vision, and reaction time. It can also increase fatigue and susceptibility to the effects of cold-water immersion. Sun, wind, noise, vibration and motion – “stressors” common to the boating environment – intensify the side effects of alcohol, drugs and some medications. Impairment can be even more dangerous for boaters than for drivers, since most boaters have less experience and confidence operating a boat than they do driving a car. Persons found to be boating under the influence can expect to incur severe penalties. If a boat operator is BUI, the voyage may be terminated, the boat may be impounded and the operator may be arrested. Penalties vary by state but can include fines, jail, loss of boating privileges, even loss of driving privileges. A three-year field evaluation by the Southern California Research Institute validated a battery of tests for marine use that are now the basis for efforts to
implement a National Marine Field Sobriety Test standard. Combined with chemical tests using blood, breath and urine samples, these validated ashore and afloat tests give marine law enforcement officers an impressive arsenal in their ongoing efforts to enforce BUI laws. Alcohol is also dangerous for passengers. Intoxication can lead to slips, falls overboard and other dangerous accidents. It is illegal in every state and territory to operate a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. BUI laws pertain to all vessels, from canoes and rowboats to the largest ships. Other boating safety facts: Always wear a life jacket – 84.5 percent of people who drowned in a recreational boating accident were not wearing a life jacket. Boat operator instruction is a significant factor in avoiding and surviving accidents. In accidents where the operator’s instruction was known, 81 percent of deaths occurred on boats where the operator had not received any boating safety instruction. In 2017, there were 11,961,568 recreational vessels registered in the United States.

Gulf Breeze girl is 455th FTS’s ‘Pilot for a Day’ Story, photos by Capt. Clarence Abercrombie 479th Flying Training Group Public Affairs
A
local girl had the opportunity recently to become a U.S Air Force “Pilot for a Day” at NAS Pensacola’s 455th Flying Training Squadron (FTS). After a car accident in 2015, doctors were not sure if 7-year-old Layla Vogt would be able to move, speak or see normally. Doctors diagnosed severe bleeding on her brain which resulted in tissue damage and the doctors didn’t know how much of “herself” she would regain.
Although her life was no longer in danger, the medical staff was not able to guarantee that Layla would be able to go back to school and function as a normal student. Although her prognosis was unfavorable, Layla’s courage and fortitude led to her defying the medical odds. On June 14, now 11 years
Layla Vogt, from Gulf Breeze, Florida, was recently made “Pilot for a Day” at NAS Pensacola’s 455th Flying Training Squadron. She is recovering from medical challenges caused by a car accident in 2015.
old, she smiled with confidence as she became the 455th FTS’ first “Pilot for a Day.” Squadron Commander Lt. Col. Joshua Shore presented Layla with her first squadron coin and Maj. Danielle
Varwig gave her a squadron patch, making her “officially” a member of the squadron. Although it was Layla’s first time donning a harness and helmet, judging from her excitement, squadron members
doubted it will be the last. Special thanks from 455th FTS to Lt. Col. Tim Robinson for putting the program together and to Layla for being an inspiration to all of us. Pilots need heroes too.
