Blues ready to rock the beach From Katie King EW Bullock Associates

The Santa Rosa Island Authority (SRIA) will once again host the annual Pensacola Beach Air Show, with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels headlining July 13 and 14. In addition to the Blue Angels, there will be a host of worldclass aerobatic and stunt plane performers, as well as interactive exhibits, military recruitment stations and all types of vendors on the ground.

“Every year we look forward to hosting this world-class air show, along the shores of this world-class beach, with our hometown heroes,” Paolo Ghio, executive director of the SRIA said. “It’s a fantastic attraction, for tourists and locals alike, to be able to enjoy every summer.”

To pursue ways to alleviate traffic congestion for the air show, the SRIA will be increasing free public transportation hours along the island July 13 and adding 10 extra buses to the schedule July 14. For more trolley information, go to visitpensacolabeach.com/trolleyinformation.

For the safety of all spectators and air show participants, the SRIA is requiring the public suspend all flights of unmanned aircraft, or drones, during the air show hours of the Pensacola Beach Air Show week. In addition, glass is always prohibited on the beach, and leashed dogs are only allowed at the two designated dog beaches on either side of the island.

Kicking off the air show week is “Breakfast

NASP’s VT-4 to change command July 12 From VT-4 Public Affairs

Cmdr. Jon “Petey” Shepard will transfer command of Training Squadron Four (VT-4) to Cmdr. Christopher “CB” Brown during a change of command ceremony July 12 at 2 p.m. in the National Naval Aviation Museum onboard NAS Pensacola.

After 15 months in the top spot, Shepard will turn over the squadron

Cmdr. Christopher Brown

to his executive officer, Brown. Under Shepard’s command, the squadron

earned numerous accolades and conducted advanced undergraduate Naval Flight Officer (NFO) training.

The training encompassed ground and simulator training for student NFOs and international navigators. During his tenure the squadron winged more than 340 NFOs while executing more than 16,000 events.

Additionally, the squadron reduced the time to train by 38 percent,

On June 28 at 6:10 p.m., the final call of

“baby boy, United States Navy arriving,” echoed throughout Naval Hospital Pensacola (NHP). James Robert Bishop will go in the records as the last baby born at NHP. On July 1, the labor and delivery services at

NHP stopped after thousands of babies cried for the first time throughout the years.

Since 1976, over 27,000 babies have been delivered at NHP. In the early 1980s, NHP averaged almost 1,000 births a year, but that number has reduced in recent years to around 400 births a year.

“As the number of deliveries have declined over the years, it became increasingly difficult to maintain the required skills for the active duty service members assigned to the Labor and Delivery Ward,” Capt. Amy Branstetter, commanding officer, Naval Hospital Pensacola said. “Those active duty service members will be reassigned to other Military Treatment Facilities where they will be able to maintain the skills to be battle field ready if needed.”

Despite some sadness over the termination of labor and delivery services, the staff at NHP has remained positive and have enjoyed the memories they had of working in a ward that brought so much joy to so many families.

‘Hiring Our Heroes’ coming to NASP July 11 From NASP FFSC

The “Hiring Our Heroes Transition Summit” is coming to NAS Pensacola’s Mustin Beach Club July 11 from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Hiring Our Heroes (HOH) is a nationwide initiative to help connect veterans, transitioning

service members and military spouses with meaningful employment opportunities.

Launched in 2011 at the height of the veteran unemployment crisis, HOH works with our vast network of state and local chambers and other strategic partners from the public, private and nonprofit sectors to create and sus-

tain a movement across America in hundreds of communities where veterans and military families return every day.

More than 40 of the nation’s largest companies have joined our Veterans Employment Advisory Council (VEAC) and Military Spouse Employment Advisory Council (MSEAC).

These are companies committed to hiring veterans and military spouses, establishing best and next practices for veteran and spouse employment, and providing mentors to veterans, transitioning service members and military spouses.

Hiring Our Heroes has helped more than half a million veter-

ans and military spouses find employment since launching in 2011.

More than 30,000 of these hires resulted directly from more than 1,100 job fairs held across the country and on installation overseas.

For more information, call 452-5990.

July 13 is the Pensacola Beach Air Show dress rehearsal, with the civilian acts beginning just before noon and the Blue Angels overhead at 2 p.m., weather depending.

July 14 marks the official Pensacola Beach Air Show, and follows exactly the previous day’s dress rehearsal schedule: At 11:30 a.m., the Veteran’s Flight leads off the civilian acts portion of the air show. Organized by Pensacola attorney and pilot Roy Kinsey, about a dozen vintage Stearman biplane pilots from all over the Southeast will be flying World War II veterans over Pensacola Beach on Friday and Saturday as a way to pay tribute to them, and give the tens of thousands of beach spectators a glimpse at aviation history.

At 11:45 a.m., the U.S. Coast Guard will enact a SAR helo demo, which involves an out-the-door, search and rescue demonstration of a person in distress from a helicopter hovering overhead.

At noon, pilots Ken Rieder and Jon Thocker with Redline Aerobatic Team take to the skies, in their signature red and black stunt planes, to perform deathdefying opposing stunts and inverted maneuvers and formations.

Next up, at 12:15 p.m., watch solo pilot Kevin Coleman push the limits of his bright yellow Extra 300 SHP stunt plane, his body and his mind, to create a visual spectacle like no other over Pensacola Beach.

About 12:35 p.m., solo pilot Gary Ward will zip overhead in his green and purple MX2 aircraft, showcasing an aerobatic act packed with maneuvers that range from zero-speed hovers to dives in excess of 250 mph.

At 12:50 p.m., closing out the civilian acts with highskill passes and maneuvers, is stunt pilot Skip Stewart in his famous red, white and black-checkered biplane, Prometheus.

Following the civilian acts will be a short 30-minute window for spectators to cool off and take a dip in the Gulf before lifeguards clear the waters again in anticipation of the start of the Blue Angels show.

Then, at 2 p.m., look to the Gulf horizon as six signature blue and gold F-18 Super Hornets make their way over Pensacola Beach. For the next 45 minutes, spectators will get a glimpse of aeronautic maneuvers like the diamond dirty loop, the double farvel, the vertical pitch, the fleur-de-lis, the opposing knife-edge pass, and the crowd-favorite sneak pass. These are just a few of the mind-blowing displays of choreographed precision flying the Navy’s flight demonstration team has perfected during the past 70 years.

Following the show, when it’s time to pack up and leave, the SRIA would like to remind the public: “Leave Only Your Footprints Behind.” For the safety and enjoyment of all Pensacola Beach visitors and the preservation of the island’s flora and fauna, take all that you came with and help keep the beach clean.

Scottsbluff, Neb., and will serve as the 14th commanding officer of NIOC Pensacola. Salazar is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and was commissioned in 1999. He served much of his early career in the aviation community, before a lateral transfer to the cryptologic warfare (CW) community in 2011. He also attended the National Defense University’s Dwight D. Eisenhower School, and in 2016 was awarded his JPME II and master of science degree in National Resource Strategy.

Salazar’s previous tours include duty with Patrol Squadron Twenty-Six (VP-26) at Naval Air Station Brunswick, Maine, the 562nd Flying Training Squad-

Vol. 82, No. 27

VT-4 from page 1 Distribution in May 2000 and received designation as an NFO in August 2001 flying the P-3 Orion.

In April 2002, Brown reported to the “Golden Swordsmen” of VP47. He completed deployments to both 7th and 5th Fleet in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. In May 2005, upon completion of his tour with VP-47, Brown returned to the Fleet Replacement Squadron VP30, where he served as an instructor NFO. Following his instructor

tour he reported to the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) in May 2008, as a catapult and arresting gear officer “shooter.” While onboard the USS Eisenhower, Brown deployed to 5th Fleet in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. He then earned his Master of Arts Degree in National Security and Strategic Studies from the Naval War College in February 2011. In June 2011, he reported to the “Fighting Marlins” of VP-40 for his Department Head tour and completed deployments to 7th and 5th Fleet in support of Operation Endur-

ing Freedom. From May 2014 to November 2016, Brown was assigned to U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) where he served as a branch chief and action officer in the Special Programs Division (J32). In May 2017, Brown reported to VT-4 as the executive officer.

Cmdr. Sean Newby will relieve Brown as the executive officer for the squadron.

Shepard is departing for the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) in Norfolk, Va. to serve as the operations officer.

NHP from page 1 Capt. Frances Barendse, the director for nursing services at NHP, recalled her first duty assignment in 1984 as a corpsman with the Labor and Delivery Ward at NHP. “I remember the first time I saw a baby being born and was handed the baby to clear its airway,” Barendse said.

“I learned so much and became proficient in so many skills from working in the Labor and Delivery Ward.”

Adonna Jones, a registered nurse, worked in the Labor and Delivery Ward since 2000 and has the most experience in the ward of all current employees.

“It was a joy to work in the Labor and Delivery Ward,” Jones said with pride. “We were one of the first naval hospitals to allow moms to deliver and remain in the same room throughout their stay.”

Jones will transfer to NHP’s new Pediatric Clinic that is scheduled to open on July 9. Despite her sadness about no longer working on Labor and Delivery Ward, she is excited about her new responsibilities in the Pediatric Clinic and continuing to care for families at NHP. For Michaela and Ens. Jacob Bishop, a flight student at NAS Whiting Field, the couple enjoyed the attention they and their son received as the last patients in the Labor Delivery Ward.

“We got a lot of special attention and everyone treated us so well,” Michaela, who is a first time mother, said.

“I was just glad I got to deliver at NHP because I had heard some many great things from other mothers who delivered here.”

With labor and delivery services no longer available at NHP, all expectant mothers enrolled to the hospital will be referred to the civilian network for care. A newly formed Care Coordination Team will assist patients referred to the network and will even visit patients in the hospital. The team will ensure the mother and newborn are receiving the care they need and will schedule appointments with the mother’s physician and the newborn’s pediatrician at NHP after delivery.

“Our patients are our patients regardless of where they get their care,” Branstetter said. “The Care Coordination Team will ensure our patients receive the care they need and deserve.”

VCNO checks out latest Ready, Relevant Learning From Naval Education and Training Command Adm. Bill Moran, Vice Chief of Naval Operations (VCNO), visited Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) to discuss developments with Ready, Relevant Learning (RRL) June 20.

RRL is a pillar of the Navy’s Sailor 2025 initiative, with an overarching goal to provide Sailors the right training at the right time and in the right way. The new training model will eliminate the current practice of front-loading training at the very beginning of a Sailor’s career by providing incremental training, or Block Learning, across a career-long learning continuum that delivers the training closer to when a Sailor is expected to perform the specific work.

“This isn’t clicking through slides, with Ready Relevant Learning, our Sailors will learn the things they need to know in smaller, but effective and more frequent doses, and ultimately they will get that training right on the waterfront,” Moran said. “We are already seeing success with this approach in our LCS training facilities and in some of our submarine training systems. Additionally, with modern training applications, training will be tailored to the strengths and weaknesses of each Sailor rather than having to repeat things they do well while getting less time on things where they need practice.”

Almost 5,400 fleet Sailors have completed Block 0, which is initial technical training and now the first phase of their learning continuum. The first batch of Block Learning was delivered by Naval Technical Training Center in Meridian, Miss., to newaccession logistics specialists in April 2017.

Almost 250 Sailors are within six months of their Block 1 window, where they will gain the next level of skillsets to prepare them for the next stage of their careers, at a point where they will actually use those skills.

“To most of these Sailors, this process has been relatively transparent,” Rear Adm. Kyle Cozad, NETC commander, said. “They’ve completed the training that they’ve been assigned up to now and reported to their first operational unit with the mission-essential skills needed to succeed in their first two years aboard. What we have ongoing now is close coordination between their unit training officers and our training support centers to keep these Sailors on track to get the next block of training when they need it, anywhere from 12 to 24 months from their initial report date.”

Moran leads the RRL Integration Board, a senior leader forum for the commanders involved in various RRL aspects, such as strategic direction, overseeing implementation, and resourcing requirements. U.S. Fleet Forces (USFF) Command as the RRL executive agent and the type commanders are responsible for developing training requirements. Naval Air Systems Command and Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division acquire the courses and the modernized software and

hardware systems, and NETC delivers the training.

Cozad’s team provided Moran with an overview of NETC’s role in delivering converted training content and modern training systems to the fleet. Although there are examples of modernized training systems in use throughout the fleet today, that longterm strategy delivers training systems closer to the waterfront and flightlines in fleet concentration areas.

“Block Learning is a transition phase that supports a continuum of career-long learning,” Cozad said. “This takes us to the next phase of what we are calling ‘modern delivery,’ which captures all the aspects of training, whether it’s the content itself or the software or hardware component, and delivers that training with the latest, easier to access, on-demand content with the best resources and tools when and where our Sailors need it.”

The long-term goal of RRL is to have the ability to reach back to training content and resources through a robust learning management system, while incorporating mod-

ern technology-based solutions along with more traditional delivery methods, such as instructor-led and laboratory training.

During the discussion, the operations specialist (OS) rating served as an example for accelerated delivery of RRL. The OS rating has no career training continuum beyond “A” School and was entirely dependent on the brick-and-mortar schoolhouse.

“Up to now, training for the OS rating has been primarily through instructor-facilitated PowerPoint slides, along with some hands-on radar simulated training with the Part Task Trainer, and some computerbased simulation,” Lt. Cmdr. Roger Phelps, a member of the NETC RRL team, said.

“What we’re going to see in the very near future is the addition of interactive courseware, demonstration videos, and step-by step guides, along with newly established refresher training courses with virtual simulation that will span across the OS career continuum. The ultimate goal is to have improved training and a robust electronic resource library available to them anytime, anywhere.”

Even the personnel qualification standards for each rating will be modernized through RRL, moving away from the current paperbased system. Mobile, modernized content will incorporate science of learning techniques that enhance Sailor readiness.

“Key to all of this is technology and looking for the next generation of training systems while thinking outside of the box,” Cozad said. “Technology advancements will help transform training away from a heavy emphasis on memorizing, describing or listing and toward more performancebased training with application, repetition and practice.”

SMP2 gives local students hands-on experience at NHP

Elizabeth Molchan, 15, from Pensacola High School, listens to the breathing of a newborn at Naval Hospital Pensacola June 19. Molchan participated in NHP’s Summer Medical Preparatory Program (SMP2), which provided students interested in a career in medicine with an opportunity to gain experience in various aspects of health care.

Story, photo

By Jason Bortz Naval Hospital Pensacola From June 18 to 22, 13 high school students from four local high schools participated in Naval Hospital Pensac-

ola’s (NHP) Summer Medical Preparatory Program (SMP2).

The inaugural program was created to provide students interested in a career in medicine with an opportunity to gain experience in various aspects of health care.

“It’s so important to show students the value of pursuing a career in medicine,” Capt. Elizabeth Adriano, executive officer of NHP, said. “We have an amazing and diverse staff at NHP who take great care of our patients, so this was our opportunity to provide these teenagers with an example of how rewarding it is to take care of patients who put their trust in us to care for them and hopefully inspire them to continue to pursue their dream of a career in medicine.”

The majority of students, who range in age from 15 to 17, had previously participated in Escambia County’s Health Academy, which provides health care classes to students interested in a career in medicine. With support from the Escambia County School District, SMP2 allowed the students to experience health care in an actual health care facility.

“I thought it would be interesting to experience different jobs in a hospital,” Kaleb Long, 15, a sophomore at Pensacola High School who wants to be a neurosurgeon, said. “The handson experience was my favorite part.”

From making dental impressions to forming casts on each other to listening to the heartbeat of a newborn, the students had plenty of hands-on experience throughout the week. They also got to observe surgeries in the operating room and patient care in the Family Medicine Clinic.

“The surgeries were awesome,” Naomi Overholt, 17, a senior at Tate High School who wants to be a surgeon, said. “I wanted to see if I got queasy watching, but I didn’t.”

The students also got experience practicing medical care on NHP’s realistic simulators. The simulators perform like real patients, including talking and moaning in pain, and allowed the students to learn and practice skills such as maintaining spine stabilization, controlling bleeding, placing IVs and restoring breathing. To put their skills to a test, the students participated in a realistic training where they had to save the life of simulated patient injured while riding a motorcycle.

“At first, there was some initial shock and we all kind of froze,” Raegan Tainter, 17, a senior at Tate High School who wants to be physician assistant, said when asked about the simulated training, “but then everyone stepped up and applied what we had practiced.”

Throughout the week, the teenagers from Pensacola, West Florida, Tate and Pine Forest High Schools got a behind the scenes look at a career in medicine and got to talk to and learn from physicians, nurses and corpsmen with years of experience. Perhaps one of the students will become the next great neurosurgeon or one will become a nurse whose compassion comforts the family of a cancer patient. Regardless of their future, they all got an opportunity to see how rewarding a career in health care can be and to make some new friends.

“I made new friends this week with the other students and some of the staff at Naval Hospital Pensacola,” Tainter said. “I really enjoyed everyone that works at the hospital, they were so welcoming and friendly.”

Future USS Indiana delivered to Navy From Naval Sea Systems Command Public Affairs WASHINGTON (NNS) – The Navy accepted delivery of future attack submarine USS Indiana (SSN 789), the 16th submarine of the Virginia class, June 25.

The ship began construction in 2012 and is scheduled to commission in September. This next-generation attack submarine provides the Navy with the capabilities required to maintain the nation’s undersea superiority.

“Indiana’s delivery marks the culmination of millions of man-hours of work by thousands of people across this country to bring the world’s foremost undersea asset to the fleet,” Capt. Christopher Hanson, Virginia class program manager, said. “It is a proud day for every person who had a hand in the submarine’s construction.”

Indiana is the sixth Virginia-class Block III submarine. Block III submarines feature a redesigned bow with enhanced payload capabilities, replacing 12 individual vertical-launch tubes with two large-diameter

Virginia payload tubes, each capable of launching six Tomahawk cruise missiles. The redesign also incorporates a large-aperture bow (LAB) water-backed array, which replaces the traditional air-backed spherical array. These, among other design changes, reduced the submarines’ acquisition cost while maintaining their outstanding warfighting capabilities.

Indiana is the fourth ship named after the 19th state and will be the first to be in active service since the

end of the Second World War. The first USS Indiana (BB 1), a battleship, saw action during the SpanishAmerican War and participated in both the blockade and battle of Santiago de Cuba. The third USS Indiana (BB 58) was completed in April 1942, saw extensive combat in the Pacific theater of World War II, and earned nine battle stars.

Virginia-class submarines are built to operate in the world’s littoral and deep waters while conducting anti-submarine warfare; anti-surface ship warfare; strike warfare; special operations forces support; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; irregular warfare and mine warfare missions. Their inherent stealth, endurance, mobility and firepower directly enable them to support five of the six maritime strategy core capabilities – sea control, power projection, forward presence, maritime security and deterrence.

U.S. Navy partners with historically black colleges and universities, minority institutions From The Office of Naval Research

A

RLINGTON, Va. – Come Aug. 30 to 31, the Department of the Navy’s (DoN) Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI) program will host its annual Naval Opportunity Awareness Workshop (OAW) at the Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, Ga. There will also be a special, student-focused pre-workshop event, Aug. 29, from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The workshop is aimed at college and university presidents, vice presidents, provosts, faculty, staff and students from HBCU/MIs. It will highlight research opportunities within the Navy and Marine Corps, summer faculty/ sabbatical research opportunities, student internships and scholarships.

The OAW provides a platform for direct engagement between the Department of the Navy and key stakeholders, potential grantees and future partners. It serves as a recruitment tool to get more HBCU/ MI faculty involved in navalrelevant scientific research,

and to attract students to internships.

There are hundreds of historically minority-serving institutions across the country, and Navy HBCU/MI officials want to increase awareness to take advantage of the DoN HBCU/ MI programs. The HBCU/MI programs offer various opportunities for faculty and students to work collaboratively with scientists and engineers at naval labs on projects of mutual interest.

“HBCU/MI students are a national asset,” Anthony C. Smith Sr., director, Department of the Navy, HBCU/ MI program, said. “We’re interested in fostering student interest in scientific research and implementing their research into the DoD.”

The DoN HBCU/MI program is based at the Office of Naval Research, with the mission of discovering some of the best and brightest minds at HBCU/MIs. “These students and faculty are a huge, untapped asset that can benefit the Navy and the nation,” Smith said.

The program has three main goals: • Expand opportunities for schools to successfully compete for grants and contracts for basic and applied research

• Offer scholarships, fellowships and internships to students pursuing degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) studies • Promote greater student interest in STEM degrees at HBCU/MIs “We want our young minds and their ideas, infused into our programs,” Smith said.

“Diverse innovative minds will help us maintain a competitive advantage over our adversaries.”

NASWF bids ACC Rachael Kempston Fair Winds and Following Seas at retirement

By Julie Ziegenhorn NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs Officer

N

aval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) bid farewell to ACC Rachael Kempston at the National Naval Aviation Museum onboard NAS Pensacola June 28, in a ceremony rich in Navy tradition.

Presiding over the retirement was Lt. Cmdr. Lance Breeding, Air Traffic Control Facility Officer, Naval Station Mayport, who told the audience that it was a sad day for the Navy, but to Kempston said, “thank you for choosing to serve the best Navy in the world.”

Kempston began her Navy career in 1998, graduating from Air Traffic Control “A” School in Pensacola, and then reported to her first assignment at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Wash.

She advanced quickly through the ranks due to her “dedication,

drive, commitment and proven performance,” according to her sister, U. S. Navy Command Master Chief Robyn Pierce, Pre-commissioning Unit, Tripoli, (LHA 7) who was the guest speaker at the ceremony.

Following Air Traffic Control school, Kempston went on to serve in assignments at Naval Auxiliary Landing Field San Clemente Island, Calif., at Naval Base Coronado and aboard the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis, (CVN 74). She also served in Tactical Air Control Squadron

Kempston thanks her mother for her support throughout a 20year naval career during her retirement ceremony June 28.

Photo by Lt.j.g. Luke Rague 12 in San Diego, where she accomplished two deployments aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2), earning the coveted enlisted aviation warfare specialist and enlisted surface warfare specialist designations as an air traffic controller. She was also assigned to Naval Air Technical Training center onboard NAS Pensacola as an air traffic controller instructor and NAS Jacksonville, where she obtained her watch supervisor qualification.

In 2012, Kempston was selected for chief petty officer, a rank only seven percent of 317,000 enlisted personnel achieve, according to Pierce.

“You have a better chance of becoming an NFL player than making chief,” Pierce commented.

Kempston reported to NAS Whiting Field in 2013 as the leading chief petty officer for airfield management in 2013.

Speaking to Kempston’s sons, Chase and Quintin, Pierce commented that “she wanted to ensure she could provide for you boys ... she deployed, not once, but twice,

and that is not an easy decision for a mother and a Sailor. She would have rather been by your side, but thank you for sharing your mom with the Navy.”

Pierce went on to say that air traffic controllers have a tough job.

“It is a very intense job,” Pierce said “You have to stay five or six steps ahead and remain calm. Everyone on that ship and surrounding areas, as well as pilots, will tell you that the air traffic controller is critical for operations and the safety of everyone. One mistake by the air traffic controller affects the lives of everyone on the ship.”

Pierce also applauded her sis-

ter’s commitment to those she trained and mentored, and the lives of the Sailors she touched through the years, saying that she led by example and took care of her Sailors.

In an emotional farewell speech, Kempston said that “the Navy is a family... it’s absolutely true. I can call on anybody day and night, and they will be there.”

She emphasized in her remarks that she could not have done what she did in the Navy without her family, singling out her mother and friends who cared for her boys through numerous assignments and deployments.

Speaking from her personal experiences as a Sailor and single mom throughout much of her career, she implored her fellow Sailors and junior ranks that “you can do anything you set your mind to.”

She also thanked her fellow chiefs for their friendship, mentorship, and for making the day special for her and her family.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, and symbolizing the departure from a ship to go back to shore, she and her family were “piped ashore” one last time through the traditional ceremonial sideboys. In honor of Kempston’s service and friendship, all retired, active duty and fellow chief petty officers in the audience stood in line to give a final salute and well wishes to Kempston and her family.

Avoid a thirsty fate ...

Hydrate!

By Cmdr. Connie Scott Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center navymedicine.navylive.dodlive.mil

W

e all know that water is good for us. But do you know just how critical it really is? Consider this – you can survive for weeks without food, but you can only live for days without water.

It is that important. Water helps replenish fluid loss, regulate temperature, protect organs, keep joints moving, transport other nutrients throughout your body and eliminate waste.

Let us take a look at your basic hydration needs and ways to determine if you are meeting them, as well as how your needs increase due to physical activity and tips for preventing dehydration.

Hydration needs: Your main source of hydration should always be water. The amount of water that your body needs is based on a variety of factors, two of which are body weight and physical activity.

You must meet your hydration needs daily, because your body loses water through regular activities such as sweating, urinating and even breathing.

Use the table below to identify your recommended daily hydration needs based on your body weight.

Body weight – ounces/day • 120 pounds – 60 to 120 oz./day • 150 pounds – 75 to 150 oz./day • 175 pounds – 90 to 175 oz./day • 200 pounds – 100 to 200 oz./day • 225 pounds – 115 to 225 oz./day • 250 pounds – 125 to 200 oz./day It’s important to note that if you are thirsty, your body is already dehydrated.

Hydrating for physical activity: If you engage in high-intensity physical activity, you may need additional water to offset your fluid loss.

Follow these helpful hints to ensure proper hydration before, during, and after physical activity.

Drink 17 to 20 oz. of water two-to-three hours before physical activity.

Drink 7 to 10 oz. of water

• July, August in Florida can be brutal • Heat illnesses can befall the most fit

every 10 to 20 minutes during physical activity.

Drink 16 to 24 oz. of water for every pound of body weight lost after physical activity.

Water is the best option for replacing fluids; however, sports drinks can help replenish

electrolytes such as sodium and potassium. Only opt for sports drinks before, during or after high-intensity physical activity exceeding 45 to 60 minutes and follow these tips: • Select sports drinks with 110 milligrams (mg) sodium and 30 mg potassium per 8 oz.

• Consider sports drinks with 200 mg sodium per 8 oz. and added electrolytes if you are an excessively salty sweater, meaning you can see or feel salt on your skin when your sweat dries Tips for hydrating: You can get water from fruits and vegetables such as oranges and celery, but you get most of it from the fluids that you drink. To

help meet your daily hydration needs, follow these tips: • Make hydrating a priority – carry a water bottle to drink on the go • Choose water over sugarsweetened, caffeinated or alcoholic beverages • Add lemon, lime or cucumber to your water to enhance the taste Proper hydration can improve your health, enhance your performance and replace fluid loss following physical exertion. Remember to meet your hydration needs by drinking water throughout the day.

Once you have identified your needs based on the information above, pour yourself a glass of water and start drinking to your health.

Hyperthermia, heat injuries strike quickly

By Patrick Gordon Naval District Washington Public Affairs

WASHINGTON (NNS) – Summer heat can be a joy to some and burden to others. Whether relishing in the warmth, or trying to avoid it, the rising temperature can wreak havoc on the body.

The Red Cross advises being informed of weather conditions and expected heat waves, and to be aware of any personal physical conditions such as heart disease or high blood pressure that can put a person at

higher risk of being affected by a heat related emergency. If a local heat advisory is in effect, avoid or postpone outdoor activities and stay inside, preferably in air conditioned spaces. Wear loose-fitting clothing; drink water.

If a person is affected by a heat emergency, they will display certain tell-tale symptoms. Heat exhaustion is characterized by cool, moist, pale, ashen or flushed skin; headache; nausea; dizziness; weakness and exhaustion.

Heat stroke – usually caused when heat exhaustion

Gosling Games Color Me: ‘Ice cream’

is ignored – is a life-threatening condition characterized by extremely high body temperature; red skin which may be dry or moist; changes in consciousness; rapid, weak pulse; rapid, shallow breathing; confusion; vomiting and seizures. If signs of heat stroke occur, immediately call 911 and begin cooling the victim. Cool them by immersing the victim in cool water or covering them in cool, damp towels, rotating the towels frequently. If they are alert, give the person sports drinks or water at a rate of a half cup every 15 minutes.

Jokes & Groaners Blazingly bad jokes Q: What does a bee do when it is hot?

A: He takes off his yellow jacket.

It was during a heat wave in July one summer when I saw this sign on a telephone pole. “Garage sale this Sunday, 7 a.m. until 100 degrees.”

It’s so hot – the soup company has changed the directions on its cans to “Just pour and eat.”

It’s so hot – All the water buffalo at the zoo evaporated.

It’s so hot – I saw a dog chasing a cat and they were both walking.

It’s so hot – You discover that it only takes two fingers to drive your car.

NETPDC selects advancement center program analyst as Civilian of the Quarter Story by Ed Barker Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) Public Affairs

A

Program Analyst for the Navy Advancement Center (NAC) was recognized June 14 as Civilian of the Quarter (CoQ) for the second quarter of 2018 at the Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC).

Winfred Greene, a former Navy Chief Personnel Specialist and civil service veteran since 2015, received the award for his outstanding performance in facilitating enlisted advancement exam ordering and solving discrepancies during a period of reduced manning, and during peak branch operations.

Greene said he was totally honored by the CoQ recognition, and appreciates his boss taking the time to acknowledge his work.

“This award was a very nice surprise, especially since I really enjoy giving back to the Fleet that I once served in,” Greene said. “It’s very rewarding to be on this end of the phone – I was at one time the Sailor calling in and can un-

derstand the problems they are facing. It’s very gratifying and I love my job.”

NETPDC Commanding Officer Capt. Kertreck Brooks said Greene’s outstanding efforts ensured that Sailors were able to progress in their careers as a result of Greene’s efforts.

“Mr. Greene’s knowledge and insight into the exam process enabled him to implement process improvement steps utilizing automating manual processes, which will result in huge man-hour savings for future exam cycles,” Brooks said. “His organizational skills allowed him to temporarily manage a workload typically handled by three personnel, maintaining capability to respond to exam orders and discrepancies. He played a key

part in advancing thousands of Sailors.”

Jay Gulley, NAC Branch Head for exam ordering and discrepancies and Greene’s supervisor, said his work was not only outstanding, but is an integral part of the exam execution process.

“As one of two N321 staffers working in the exam ordering and discrepancies section in support of the 2018 spring exam cycles, he fielded more than 1,450 phone calls and 2,200 e-mails during the months of January to March

2018,” Gulley said. “Mr. Greene also singularly processed over 190,000 exam orders in support of three exam cycles, during this period.

Were it not for his efforts, the impact to Sailors could have been severe. His positive, cando attitude makes every customer feel as if they were the only tasker on his plate, and that’s a rare talent.”

NETPDC’s mission is to provide products and services that enable and enhance education, training, career development and personnel advancement

throughout the Navy. Primary elements of the command include the Voluntary Education (VOLED) Department, the Navy Advancement Center (NAC) and the Resources Management Department.

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.
