America: 242 years young, happy Independence Day Commentary by Craig Lewis Fire and Emergency Services Gulf Coast As we are fast approaching our 242th birthday as a nation and enjoy time with family and friends let’s look at having a safe and happy Fourth. There shall be lots of festivities such as boating, grilling, family fun, fire work displays and of course

fireworks. Don’t let the fun of the day be a sadly remembered day due to injuries caused by mishandling fireworks and let’s be honest – some of you live in Alabama where it is legal to purchase fireworks and the rest of us live in Florida where everything but sparklers are illegal (don’t mean to put a damper on your festivities but it is true). The category of “spar-

klers” are: sparklers, fountains, snakes and glow worms – at the bottom of the article is a link to a list provided by the Florida Fire Marshal’s Office and CPSC.

For those of you living on NAS Pensacola and NASP Corry Station, no fireworks or even Sparklers are allowed on government installations according to IAW NASPNCLAINST 11320.1H. Concerns for cooking are: • Never leave unattended • Keep children away from immediate cooking area • Keep grills at least 10 feet

USAF communications exercise ... Naval Air Station Pensacola was the site of an annual U.S. Air Force (USAF) communications exercise throughout most of June. The exercise involved five units from all over the U.S., including Air National Guardsmen, Air Force Reservists and active-duty USAF personnel.

CAP cadets tour the 479th Flying Training Group

Civil Air Patrol cadets line up to see a Beechcraft T-6A Texan and talk with members of the 455th Flying Training Squadron and the 479th Student Squadron. Photo courtesy of 479th Flying Training Group

Story by Lt. Col. Ramon DeJesus Fourteen Civil Air Patrol (CAP) cadets and two senior members from the CLREC from page 1 allies, cultivate relationships with emerging partners, thwart adversaries and defeat enemies. Since 2007, CLREC has delivered specialized training to deployed Sailors to familiarize them with foreign environments and provide an overview of each region’s unique culture. CLREC’s Cultural Training materials can be used for both scheduled deployments and situations where immediate familiarization is required, such as natural disaster response. “The training materials we provide help Sailors understand and anticipate the attitudes and actions of foreign people by introducing the predominant values, beliefs, behaviors and norms of foreign cultures,” CLREC Director Christo-

Pensacola Cadet Squadron toured the 479th Flying Training Group, June 18. The purpose of their visit was to receive first-hand exposure to Combat

pher Wise said. “Culturally competent Sailors experience less culture shock, operate more effectively and are better ambassadors of our Navy and nation.” As part of its language training responsibilities, CLREC coordinates all formal foreign language training of Navy personnel conducted at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center. They ensure that the Sailors who will go on to be cryptologic technicians (interpretive) meet the required language proficiency standards. CLREC also manages the Defense Foreign Language Testing Program for the Navy. CLREC testing sites in the U.S. and Navy College Offices overseas administer the Defense Language Aptitude Battery (DLAB) and Defense Language Proficiency Test

Systems Officer (CSO) training at the U.S. Air Force’s only CSO school. Members from the 455th Flying Training Squadron and the 479th Student Squadron gave cadets a tour of a static T-6A Texan and a modified T-1A Jayhawk while providing special insight in the role these aircraft play in the instruction of future CSOs. Cadets were also taught about the variety of roles CSOs perform during the employment of Air Force weapons systems across a wide range of missions. In addition to seeing the aircraft up close, cadets flew several flight profiles in simulators operated by civilian instructors from the 479th Student Squadron. After a brief lunch break, cadets received briefings about air-

(DLPT). The DLAB measures the aptitude for foreign language learning by the typical native English speaker. The DLPT measures a service member’s proficiency in a foreign language in listening and/ or reading. “Measuring foreign language proficiency through testing is necessary for Navy leaders to understand the language capabilities available,” Wise said. “For Sailors, a language proficiency score can affect bonus pays, special assignments, and even college credit.” In an effort to maximize the availability of its language and cultural training, CLREC released a free mobile app for both Android and IOS. The CLREC Global Deployer mobile app provides cultural awareness and language

resources such as history, geography, ethnic groups and culturally-appropriate behaviors for 27 different countries and their associated languages. The CLREC Navy Global Deployer mobile application is available for download from the iTunes and Google Play online stores. To find the free app, search key words such as “CLREC” and “Navy global deployer” in the app stores or a web browser. Sailors can also find this app and many other Navy apps at www.applocker.navy.mil.

Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla.: A Bicentennial Defense Community Commanding Officer – Capt. Christopher T. Martin Public Affairs Officer – Patrick J. Nichols 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 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. Gosport is an authorized newspaper published every Friday by Ballinger Publishing, 314 North Spring St., Suite A, Pensacola, Fla. 32501, in the interest of military and ci-

craft egress procedures and emergency equipment from instructors at the 451st Flying Training Squadron and the 479th Operations Support Squadron. This is to prepare the cadets for potential orientation flights scheduled this summer. The Civil Air Patrol is the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. It has a three-fold mission, which includes a focus on cadet programs which “transform youth into dynamic Americans and aerospace leaders.” Open to children between the ages of 12 through 18, the program exposes youth to aerospace education, leadership training and physical training while providing opportunities to compete for scholarships in aviation-related fields.

NHP from page 1 with same-day surgical capabilities, we wanted to expand the hours of our Urgent Care Center to enhance access to care for our patients,” said Capt. Amy Branstetter, commanding officer, NHP. TRICARE beneficiaries can visit the UCC for acute care symptoms such as minor lacerations and injuries, fevers, sore throats and cough. Beneficiaries with severe or life threatening injuries or illnesses such as head trauma, strokes or heart attacks should call 911 or visit the closest emergency room. TRICARE’s Nurse Advice Line is also available 24/7 at 1-800-TRICARE, option one, to assist beneficiaries in deciding if a visit to an emergency room is appropriate. “The Urgent Care Center provides treatment to patients with acute needs when their primary care providers are not available after hours or on the weekends,” said Lt. Mary Sivulich, department head for the UCC. “There are some limitations to the care we can provide, but the UCC is ideal for minor injuries and illnesses.” While the UCC is open to all TRICARE beneficiaries, those enrolled with a Medical Home Port Team at NHP or one of its local branch clinics are highly encouraged to contact their Medical Home Port Team during normal hours before visiting the UCC. The Medical Home Port Teams offers same day appointments and provide beneficiaries with continuity of care by its team of health care providers. “The Medical Home Port Teams know their patients best because they see them on a regular basis,” said Branstetter. “Having continuity of care with the same team of health care professionals is a huge benefit to our patients enrolled here because there is a relationship established between the team and patient, which leads to trust and better overall care.” Evening and weekend appointments can be made for the UCC by either calling the UCC at 505-6731 or by visiting www.TRICAREonline. com.

Realizing it is not all about me By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist “Honey, my job is a priority,” my husband reminded, after saying that he would not be home to help me pack for our family vacation. Every summer, Francis’ work seems to get in the way of our annual beach trip. It’s become tradition for me to do all the planning, packing, dog-kenneling, kid-nagging, and driving to North Carolina, while Francis shows up late “because he has to work.” This year, Francis was not only going to arrive at the beach after I’ve made beds and chilled beverages, he was also departing early “for work,” leaving me to clean, re-pack, and make the twelve-hour drive home. So, I was feeling sorry for myself. “Military spouses are expected to do everything,” I thought while wrestling the heavy mower down the steps of our shed. The grass was so long, I had to stop every lap to empty the clippings. My nails were stained green, a flying bit of mulch speared my shin, and I stepped in dog doo … twice. “I’m too old for this,” I grumbled to myself. At one point, I saw my 80-something-year-old neighbor, Sandy, waving a crumpled tissue at me from her side of the fence. “How have you been?” I asked

after silencing the mower. “I have a problem with my teeth,” she said, oddly. She went on to explain that her dog, a huge labradoodle named Zoey, had chewed up her bridge. I noted gaps in her molars as she spoke. “Oh, I just love your dog,” she said, looking over at our yellow lab. “What’s her name again?” “He’s male, and his name is Moby.” I had told her this many

times before. “You know,” she said, gesturing excitedly to the street with her hand, “she got out and came over to my kitchen door one day!” Sandy had also told me this before, about how smart our dog must be to have found Zoey’s house. “Your dog loves Zoey. What’s her name again?” We went around in circles like this a few more times, talking about the same things we always talked about — our dogs, which pine trees shed too many needles, Sandy’s old house in Connecticut. I glanced down at my watch. Still so much to do to get ready for vacation. I tried to make a break for it. “Hey, could you come over with your dog so I can show you my cabin?” Sandy pleaded. She had asked to show me her little log house several times since we moved to the neighborhood a year ago, but I had always avoided it. This time, guilt got the better of me. We entered Sandy’s kitchen door, and she giggled when Moby lapped from Zoey’s bowls. She shuffled me through her tiny kitchen, an unused guest bedroom, and the log living room. Home Shopping Channel was on the television. A dusty ceramic Christmas tree sat on the mantle with cards from her grown children who lived out of state. Sandy told me to

climb the stairs to the loft to see the dollhouse that she had put there in case grandchildren ever visited. They were too old for dolls now. Having seen her cabin, I poised myself to make an exit. “Sit for a minute, would you?” Sandy gestured to a creaky wicker settee and smiled widely despite the gaps in her molars. “I’ll open the window so we can smell the sea.” Sandy talked more about her old house in Connecticut, her grown children, and the dogs, before she asked me if I wanted to see her doll house. I explained that I’d already seen it. “Oh, yes … what’s your name again?” I wrote my name, address,

phone number and “Moby (male dog)” in large block letters on an index card Sandy retrieved from a kitchen drawer. “You can bring Zoey over to play at my house next time,” I told her. Walking home, I remembered the board games I needed to pack, the damp grass I needed to cut, the laundry I needed to finish, and the 12-hour drive I had to make to the beach with the kids. And I was grateful. Lisa Smith Molinari was awarded first place for print humor column from the National Society of Newspaper Columnists June 10.

Mattis: Naval War College grads will tackle today’s security challenges By Terri Moon Cronk Dept. of Defense

W

ASHINGTON (NNS) – Defense Secretary James N. Mattis told this year’s U.S. Naval War College graduates, June 15, he is confident they will carry forward the legacy of the school’s founding officers as they take their intellectual firepower forward to tackle the security challenges of our time. “(We) are witnessing a world awash in change – a world beset by the reemergence of great power competition, and we define the categories of challenges as urgency, power and political will,” the secretary said at the school’s Newport,R.I. campus. “We see urgency epitomized by the North Korea situation, as well as by the threat from violent extremist organizations – two very different challenges that have our ongoing attention,” Mattis said. And, while a possible new avenue to peace exists with North Korea, he said, the United States remains vigilant in pursuing denuclearization anywhere in the world. Half-a-world away, despite the U.S.-led coalition’s significant success against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, extremist organizations continue to sow hatred in the Middle East and murder innocents around the world, from Europe and Africa to South Asia and the Sulu Sea, the secretary said. Defeating terrorism “It is the urgency of this fight that compels us all to act deci-

sively against terrorism, denying terrorists the safe haven they seek and carrying out this counterterrorism campaign, by with and through our allies and partners with over 70 nations united in the defeat-ISIS campaign and 41 nations united under NATO’s flag to defeat terrorism in Afghanistan,” Mattis said. The United States views Russia as the nation closest to ours in nuclear parity, and it has proven willing to use conventional and irregular power in violation of international norms, the secretary said. “For the first time since World War II, Russia has been the nation that has redrawn international borders by force of arms in Georgia and Ukraine while pursuing veto authority over neighbors’ diplomatic, economic and security decisions,” Mattis said. Russian President Vladimir Putin seeks to shatter NATO, and he aims to diminish the appeal of the Western democratic model and undermine America’s moral authority, the secretary said. “(Putin’s) actions are designed not to challenge our

Secretary of Defense James N. Mattis addresses students of U.S. Naval War College’s (NWC) 2018 graduating class during a commencement ceremony. The graduating class of 2018 included 323 resident students of the Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, federal civilian employees and 103 international students. Additionally, 1,109 students completed coursework through NWC’s College of Distance Education programs. Photo by MC2 Jess Lewis

arms at this point, but to undercut and compromise our belief in our ideals,” Mattis said. Open international order There is a potential rivalry with China, as it harbors longterm designs to rewrite the existing global order, Mattis said, adding that after World War II, the U.S. and its allies and partners built the open international order that’s benefited global prosperity. “It’s unrealistic to believe today that China will not seek to replicate its internal authoritarian model elsewhere as it expands globally,” the secretary said. In response to those competitive challenges of urgency, power and political will, the Defense Department in January released its first National

Defense Strategy in more a decade with three lines of effort, Mattis said. They are, he said: building a more lethal military force, strengthening U.S. military alliances and building new partnerships and the reforming and modernizing DoD for greater performance, accountability and affordability to ensure DoD earns the trust of Congress and the American people. The future Mattis said he expects the school’s graduates “to be at the top of your game mentally, physically and spiritually, and to work to maintain that standard throughout the rest of your career.” The graduates, he added, now have “the credentials to measure up in the crucible of

combat, and your character must do the rest.” The students’ yearlong education at the college has prepared them well to integrate naval, joint and coalition campaigns across all domains of air, land and sea - and space and cyberspace, Mattis said. “We are counting on you graduates to live and breathe the ‘fighting admiral’ ethos, regardless of your rank or position, branch of service or nationality,” he said. “Keep your wits about you, keep your grace under fire, your civility with subordinates; inspiring those you lead with humility and intellectual rigor, and reconciling war’s grim realities with your political leaders’ aspirations,” Mattis said.

Making the grade: Navy a ‘Top Supporter’ of HBCU engineering schools By Warren Duffie Jr. Office of Naval Research

ARLINGTON, Va. (NNS) – The U.S. Navy’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI) program recently was named a “Top Supporter of HBCU Engineering Schools” by U.S. Black Engineer and Information Technology magazine. The designation resulted from a survey the magazine conducted of

the deans of 15 HBCU engineering schools accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, and of the leaders of Advancing Minorities’ Interest in Engineering, a corporate-academic alliance. “The Navy is honored to receive this accolade,” Anthony Smith Sr., who heads the Navy’s HBCU/MI program said. “It reflects our mission to educate students about the Navy’s research needs, get them excited about creating solutions and even inspire them to pur-

sue Navy-related internships or scholarships.” The “Top Supporters” survey asked participating HBCU institutions to list the corporate, government and nonprofit organizations providing the most support to their schools. They considered factors such as support for infrastructure modernization and enhancement, research and mentorship projects, participation on advisory councils, faculty development opportunities, scholarships and career op-

portunities. The Navy’s HBCU/MI program is based at the Office of Naval Research, with the mission of discovering some of the best and brightest minds in support of the Navy and Marine Corps. “We’re always looking for diverse ideas and innovative research to address the science and technology challenges facing the Navy,” Smith said. “Collaborating with HBCU/MIs connects us with a huge number of talented students and faculty.”

Pensacola local earns her Wings of Gold By Lt. j.g. Harrison Garrett NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs Staff Ens. Zoe Macfarlane, a graduate of Pensacola High School, earned her Wings of Gold at Naval Air Station (NAS) Whiting Field, June 8. Macfarlane lived and went to school in Pensacola where she was surrounded by aviation, but not initially drawn to it. “I never really paid much attention to (aviation) growing up, in the sense that I didn’t think it was what I wanted to do,” Macfarlane said. “We would see the Blue Angels every summer and I thought it was amazing what they did, but I never wanted to do that personally.” Yet, Macfarlane was drawn to the Navy after her older sister started at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. The close relationship Macfarlane has with her sister, and her sister’s experiences at the Naval Academy, piqued Macfarlane’s interest. After graduating from high school, Macfarlane also enrolled in the Naval Academy, where she pursued a bachelor of science degree in Oceanography, graduating and commissioning as an Ensign in 2016. It was not until she was at the Naval Academy and choosing her career track that Macfarlane reflected on her roots. “That’s when growing up in Pensacola swayed me toward aviation,” Macfarlane said.

After commissioning, Macfarlane went to where all Naval Aviators begin – NAS Pensacola for Aviation Preflight Indoctrination (API), a six-week, intensive academic and physiology training syllabus. Once Macfarlane completed API, she moved to Milton to begin Primary Flight Training in Training Squadron Two (VT-2), flying the T-6B Texan II onboard NAS Whiting Field. Following primary flight training, Macfarlane was selected to stay at NAS Whiting Field to begin Helicopter Advanced Training, flying the TH-57 Sea Ranger, with Helicopter Training Squadron Eight (HT-8). Macfarlane said it was the people who she worked with daily in the training squadrons that helped her through the rigors of aviation. “The students I met and see every day in the ready room make any time waiting to fly pass faster.” Macfarlane recalls. “Also, the instructors in advanced (training) care about making the most capable pilot for the fleet, but also care about you as a person.” Macfarlane said that she had “highs and lows” during her time in flight training and recognized how she handles the lows has helped her grow into a better person. Macfarlane has not expended much effort thinking about the rest of her career because she knows she will be a very

different person when her contract with the Navy end and she gets to choose to stay in or pursue other avenues. “I have been taking flight school one day at a time, with the end goal of being winged,” Macfarlane said. “I can’t predict what I will want seven years from now, but when the time comes to make the choice, I know I will make the right decision for myself and for my family.” Macfarlane said she is most excited to join the fleet, where she will “be able to positively influence other people’s lives. If any Sailors are having professional or personal problems, I will be there to Security forces train onboard NAS Whiting Field ...

I am very excited to fly aircraft and complete missions and do what I have been training to accomplish, but I am equally as excited to be working with a diverse group of individuals to achieve our squadron and fleet missions.” Macfarlane was winged by her mother Cindy Wasem. Her fiancé Tim Tracey, father Russell Macfarlane and guest speaker retired Rear Admr. Michael White joined Macfarlane on stage for her long awaited moment to become a winged aviator. Macfarlane has been selected to fly the MH-60S Seahawk. She will be moving to San Diego, Calif. to begin her training in her Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) where she will learn how to fly her new helicopter assignment. Naval Air Station Whiting Field, home of Training Air Wing FIVE, is the backbone of Naval aviation training, supporting approximately 60 percent of all primary fixed-wing flight training and 100 percent of all initial helicopter training for the Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps. NAS Whiting Field is the busiest aviation complex in the world with more than 1.2 million flight operations flown at the installation annually. It is comprised of two main airfields and 12 Navy Outlying Landing Fields across five counties in Southeast Alabama and Northwest Florida.

of

Excerpts from www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/ declaration_transcript. html

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the 13 United States of America, When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed ... The history of the present king of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states ... In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury ... We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in general congress, assembled, appealing to the supreme judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved ... And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

Fireworks: It is better and much more safe to go to the show From National Fire Protection Association

Permanent scarring, loss of vision, dismemberment – these are too often the harsh realities of amateur fireworks use. To keep the public safe from fireworks-related injuries and deaths, the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) urges everyone to treat fireworks, whether legal or illegal for consumers, as suitable only for use by trained professionals. According to NFPA, amateur fireworks use endangers not only the users, but also bystanders and surrounding property and structures. Pyrotechnic devices ranging from sparklers to aerial rockets cause thousands of fires and serious injuries each year. “Safe and sane fireworks don’t exist,” John Hall, NFPA’s division manager of fire analysis and research said.

Word Search: ‘Fourth of July’

“When things go wrong with fireworks, they go very wrong, very fast, far faster than any fire protection provisions can reliably respond.” In recent years, fireworks have been one of the leading causes of injuries serious enough to require hospital emergency room treatment. Fireworks can result in severe burns, fractures, scars or even death or disfigurement that can last a lifetime. The thousands of serious injuries each year typically harm the eyes, head or hands, and are mostly reported in states where fireworks are legal. Even sparklers, which are considered by many to be harmless, reach temperatures of more than 1,000 degrees. Wooded areas, homes, and even automobiles have become engulfed in flames because of fireworks. Fireworks-related fires have typically caused at least $20 million in property

loss (not adjusted for inflation) each year in recent years. A substantial portion of the structure fire property loss due to fireworks typically involves bottle rockets or other fireworks rockets. These rockets can land on rooftops or wedge within certain structures and still retain enough heat to cause a fire. Public fireworks displays are a safer alternative. Conducted by trained professionals, these displays are the smartest and safest choice for

anyone because they are established under controlled settings and regulations. After these displays, or any other time, children should never pick up fireworks that may be left over. Fireworks that have been ignited and fail to immediately explode or discharge can cause injury because they may still be active. Children should always tell an adult if they find fireworks rather than picking up smoking or charred fireworks themselves, which is just too risky.

A reminder from Fire & Emergency Services Gulf Coast: NASPNCLAINST11320.1H. states “Fireworks: The sale, use or storage of fireworks of any kind (to include sparklers) on any naval installation, including housing areas, are strictly prohibited.”

British Consul General in Miami visits NAS Pensacola IWTC Corry Station By Lt. John Laughery Information Warfare Training Command Corry Station Public Affairs

I

nformation Warfare Training Command (IWTC) Corry Station hosted the British Consul General in Miami David Prodger onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola (NASP) Corry Station, June 12. One reason why Prodger came to the area was to see firsthand the benefits of the Navy’s Personnel Exchange Program (PEP), and to support the special relationship between the U.K. and U.S. Currently, Chief Cryptologic Technician Paul Thomas, a Royal Navy sailor, serves at IWTC Corry Station through the PEP. Thomas is billeted as an instructor, fully integrated with the U.S. military and civilian staff. “The Navy’s Personnel Exchange Program is just one example of the U.S. Navy working closely with the Royal navy to increase security and prosperity worldwide,” Cmdr. Chad Smith, commanding officer of IWTC Corry Station said. “There is a major return on investment from having Chief Thomas on board. The experience that he brings to the classroom is, in many cases, more than most.”

As both the U.K. and U.S. build up their cyber capabilities, they both see some of the same challenges. “These are the best and brightest Sailors that we bring here,” Smith added. “Both countries are seeing the challenges of finding these unique Sailors, and then retaining them once their obligation is complete. They learn very unique and mentally-challenging skills that are highly coveted by non-military firms. However, the opportunities that they will have and firsthand experiences of using these skills in the Navy are impossible to find outside the military.” Currently, there are approximately 700 to 800 British military personnel located in 34 states throughout the U.S. This is 10 times the number of British troops than in any other country, and 60 to 70 of them are in Florida – from Key West to Pensacola.

“It really helps to be able to say that we have these U.K. military members here, and this is what they are doing and this is the depth of the rela-

tionship they have,” Prodger said. Prodger accepted his appointment as the British Consul General in Miami in Au-

gust 2014, and is now in his final year. Before taking this position, he served in a number of roles, both in the U.K. and overseas, within the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) since joining in 1999. In his current position, his region encompasses Florida, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, to include supporting the work of the governors of the U.K.’s overseas territories. He is regularly traveling the state to meet with local and state politicians to build on the strong relationship that already exists. When Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico in September 2017, he worked alongside U.S. Southern Command and other state organizations and military commands to coordinate a U.K. relief effort. Information Warfare Training Command Corry Station, as part of the Center for Information Warfare Training, provides a continuum of training to Navy and joint service personnel that prepares them to conduct information warfare across the full spectrum of military operations.

Active-duty and adult family member sexual assault victims have a choice of reporting options, unrestricted and restricted. Unrestricted reporting allows victims to

have an advocate, seek medical care, counseling, legal services, safety interventions and/or transfer, etc. To access an unrestricted report, the victim may report to his/ her chain-of-command, security/law enforcement, NCIS, SAPR VA, SARC or others. NCIS shall be notified by the CO and/or the VA/SARC in unrestricted cases to begin investigation. Investigation results are provided to the offender’s CO for appropriate action/disposition. Restricted

reporting allows a victim to have a confidential report, which does not trigger command or law enforcement notification and the victim may have a SAPR VA and seek medical care and/or counseling. To access restricted reporting, the victim may disclose his/her sexual assault only to the SARC, a current SAPR VA, a health care professional and/or a chaplain.

Morale, Welfare and Recreation The NASP Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) department has a number of upcoming events and activities. For more information, call 452-3806, ext. 3100, or go to the MWR website at www.navymwrpensacola .com.

You can see fireworks over Pensacola Bay, July 4 beginning at 9 p.m.

Fireworks light up the sky From Visit Pensacola Pensacola will host a Fourth of Jully festival all throughout the city, with a fireworks display at its climax, beginning at 9 p.m. Watch fireworks over the bay from the historic downtown Pensacola, or travel just a few miles and watch a dazzling display after spending the day on one of the world’s whitest beaches. Whether you like a Fourth of July steeped in history or soaked in sunshine, Pensacola gives you fantastic options for your Independence Day celebrations. In downtown Pensacola, area Sertoma organizations are hosting a traditional Fourth of July

event in Seville Square. Enjoy a day-long party in the park with family-friendly fun and activities including a free children’s area with inflatables, pony rides, a rock climbing wall, a “meet and greet” with characters, face painting and much more. The downtown event also includes arts and crafts vendors, food and beverage vendors and live entertainment on the gazebo stage beginning at 11 a.m. and on the Bayfront Stage beginning at 4:30 p.m. Of course, Fourth of July would not be complete without a Hot Dog Eating Contest. Kids are invited to sign up early for the noon contest. Learn more about the down-

town events at www.pensacolafireworks.com. Or spend your day at Pensacola Beach splashing in the waves and basking up the summer sun and then stay to watch the dazzling fireworks display. It’s one of the beach’s most popular events, with thousands of boats taking to the water for the 8:30 p.m. fireworks show, which takes place over the Santa Rosa Sound behind the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk. With the beautiful beaches, downtown shopping and dining, historic forts and the National Naval Aviation Museum, there is no better place than the Pensacola Bay Area to spend a few days to celebrate America’s history and our Independence Day.
