“Since the decision to scrap Forrestal, the museum has sought to obtain this stern plate,” said Acting Museum Director Robert Macon.

“Every single aircraft that landed on the ship passed over it and to have a section of the ship that was the foundation for the modern supercarriers of today on display will be of great interest to our visitors.”

The ship was the first aircraft carrier named for a naval aviator – James V. Forrestal. He received his

NHP: World Breastfeeding Week starts Aug. 1

By Kelly Trout NHP lactation consultant

World Breastfeeding Week is held every year from Aug. 1-Aug. 7, and this year’s theme is “Breastfeeding and Work. Let’s Make it Work!”

Breastfeeding supporters all over the world are striving to support women in combining breastfeeding with work; whether in the formal sector, non-formal sector or at home.

Naval Hospital Pensacola (NHP) has one of the highest exclusive breastfeeding rates within the Department of Defense.

NHP’s staff have decades of collective experience in empowering moms to breastfeed their babies.

Human milk provides virtually all the protein, sugar and fat babies need to be healthy. It also contains many substances that benefit the baby’s immune system, including antibodies, immune factors, enzymes and white blood cells.

These substances protect babies against a wide variety of diseases

and infections not only while breastfeeding, but in some cases long after they have weaned.

To help promote breastfeeding, NHP doesn’t supplement formula for breastfeeding mothers unless there is a medical indication, a policy clearly defined within the hospital’s policy.

Pacifiers are not provided as they can lead to breastfeeding difficulties and are discouraged during the early weeks of breastfeeding. The use of breastfeeding tools, such as nipple shields, is reserved specifically for the 5-10 percent of families with a medical need. Following these guidelines, NHP is able to support mothers to establish a plentiful milk supply that can enable them to continue their breastfeeding relationship for as long as desired.

Regardless of the choice, NHP supports parents in their decision on how to feed their baby. If parents decide they do not want to

wings in World War I and later served as the first Secretary of Defense.

USS Forrestal (CV 59) served for 38 years, most of her deployments in the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. The lone exception was a combat cruise to Vietnam, which ended abruptly on July 29, 1967, when the misfiring of a Zuni rocket loaded on one aircraft impacted an external fuel tank of another airplane, starting a fire on the flight deck. The crew bravely fought the conflagration, which killed 134 men, injured 161 others and destroyed 21 airplanes. Among the survivors was future Sen. John S. McCain III.

breastfeed, the staff will support their decision and assist them by any means possible.

Breastfeeding can be difficult and frustrating at times, especially for first-time mothers.

Fortunately, mothers have a variety of resources they can use to continue to receive support for breastfeeding even after they leave the hospital. Babies are seen in the outpatient setting within a couple of days of discharge, and moms are provided emotional support, lactation advice and assistance from an international board certified lactation consultant. Multiple other resources are also available, including home visits from the Navy and Marine Corps Relief Society nurse, the New Parent Support Program, the local La Leche League group, peer counselors at Women, Infants and Children (WIC) offices and the Medical Homeport Teams at NHP. Breast pumps are often a vital

“The heroic actions of the crew that fateful day embodied the honor, courage, and commitment that are a hallmark of Navy personnel,” said museum historian Hill Goodspeed.

“The fact that the lessons of the Forrestal fire are still used in Navy training translates into the fact that most every Sailor is familiar with this ship.”

After undergoing preservation by museum staff, the stern plate, which stretches 18 feet in length and weighs more than 2,500 pounds, will be placed on public display, where it will join that of the carrier Oriskany. The stern plate of that ship was removed before her 2006 sinking as an artificial reef off Pensacola.

tool needed for breastfeeding, and TRICARE is now providing reimbursement for the purchase of electric or manual breast pumps.

TRICARE is also providing reimbursements for any pump purchased after Dec. 19, 2014.

Beneficiaries will need a copy of their prescription from their provider and a copy of the receipt.

There are two options for filing for reimbursement through TRICARE. The first is to file a claim on the TRICARE website, www.TRICARE.COM, or beneficiaries may visit the Health Benefits Office within the hospital, which will assist with filing the claim.

To kick off World Breastfeeding Week this year in Pensacola, there will be a “Global Latch On” tomorrow, Aug. 1, at 9:30 a.m. in the Northridge Church in Pensacola. The event is open to everyone, and a NHP representative will be there to lend support.

For more information or questions on breastfeeding, call 5057109.

Retired Rear Adm. Peter B. Booth was on hand when the stern plate was unveiled to the media July 28. Booth had three tours onboard USS Forrestal: as VF-74 squadron pilot during the 1967 fire, as CO/XO of the “Red Rippers” fighter squadron and as CO of Forrestal from 1977-79.

“It’s very impressive and it will add also to the Forrestal display that they have here in the museum,” Booth said. “As the first of the supercarriers, commissioned in 1955 ... (Forrestal was), compared to the World War II Essex-class carriers, much bigger; more airplanes, more ammunition storage, more fuel – aviation and ship – and bigger overall by a considerable margin.”

Heroes Among Us is a monthly series that salutes Northwest Florida residents from all branches of military service. The speaker series is organized by members of the Marine Corps League, J.R. Spears Detachment 066, to support Marines In Distress, a MCL veterans assistance fund established to provide immediate financial grants to veterans in need. Since the beginning of the speaker series in 2013, the organization has collected $30,000 in donations for the fund.

Other 2015 speaker series events include: • Aug. 27 - 70th anniversary World War II victory night.

• Sept. 24 - Special Operations and sniper night.

• Oct. 29 - Khe Sanh night.

virus is a mosquito-borne virus that causes mild to severe illness, and there have been 38 other states with confirmed cases in 2015.

“I encourage Floridians and visitors to take steps to prevent mosquito bites that can lead to illness,” said State Surgeon General and Secretary of Health Dr. John Armstrong. “Stay safe by draining any standing water near or in your home, making sure that screens are intact, and keeping your skin covered with clothing and mosquito repellent.”

Most people with West Nile virus infections, approximately 80 percent, have no symptoms. In those people who develop them, most experience a mild illness with conditions like headache, fever, pain and fatigue. These typically appear between two and 14 days after the bite of an infected mosquito. People older than the age of 50 and individuals with weakened immune systems, especially transplant recipients and HIV-infected individuals, seem to be at increased risk for severe disease.

Those experiencing severe side effects should seek medical attention immediately.

of lessons in naval warfighting strategy, effective use of technology, and history which allowed them to take a look back in time, a perfect illustration of how they are continuing a legacy of excellence,” added Fontanez.

One of the tour group participants, AWOC Mike Anderson, said that for aspiring chiefs, the tour helped put into perspective how far the Navy has come.

“This visit drove home where the Navy has been and illustrates how we continue to build upon the foundation from those who have gone before us,” said Anderson. “Sailors stationed in Pensacola are in a location rich in

You need a game plan for traveling with children

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist

Ah, summertime … that happy time of year when, after months of running the veritable hamster wheel of work, school, bills and chores, we finally loosen up and have a little fun.

Hike the Appalachian Trail? Take a Caribbean cruise? Stay at a B&B in the French countryside? Camp in the Grand Canyon? Sightsee at Yosemite? Rent a beach house in the Outer Banks?

Simple, adventurous or extravagant, the point is to relax and have a good time.

But wait. Hold up. Just a sec. (Cue tire-screeching sound effects.) What do we do with the children?

Unless you have a team of well-paid nannies who will keep your offspring entertained at home all week (not likely on our military budget) then I’ve got some bad news: the children are coming along.

Instead of leisurely lunching on brie and wine at a Parisian street café, you’ll find yourself nibbling nuggets at the McDonalds on the Champs d’Elysie. Rather

than braving class-four rapids on Pennsylvania’s Ohio Pyle Gorge, you’ll be splashing the sticky cotton candy off your face on the logjam at Six Flags. Forget about scheduling your couples massage at the spa, because you’ll be wading in a suspiciously cloudy kiddie pool at a motel off the interstate.

Take it from me. I know.

While stationed in California, England, Virginia, Germany and Florida, I planned countless family trips. I wanted to jam-pack our time overseas and in different states with cultural and educational experiences that our kids would appreciate for the rest of their lives.

Problem was, I forgot. Oh, yeah, they’re children. Bummer.

I soon learned that children don’t want to wait two hours for traditional indigenous foods at an authentic local restaurant. They could care less about mountain scenery or sylvan country settings. And they absolutely hate lingering in art and history museums.

We discovered the hard way that, unless we were planning a trip to the Thresh-

First, we adopted the cardinal rule of traveling with children: “Lower your ex-

pectations.”

Don’t envision authentic ambiance, cultural experience, thrilling adventure and romantic interludes. Just tell yourself that your family vacation will be about as relaxing and cultural as chaperoning a fifth-grade field trip to Bowl-O-Rama.

With that mindset, you’re bound to be pleasantly surprised.

Next, follow the strategies I finally learned while on the brink of family vacation insanity: • My children are so cultured, they have thrown up in six states and seven foreign countries. Nothing kills ambiance like the lingering scent of upchuck on your shoes, so keep gallon ziplock bags and wet wipes in your purse at all times.

• Take appropriate steps, literally. Bell towers, monuments, castles, sand dunes, forts and tall buildings are great places to run the “squirrelly” out of children.

Beware that you may need a portable defibrillator for yourself, but a coronary event may be worth it if it means your children will sit through dinner.

• Pommes fritz, furai,

chips, papas fritas – whaever you call ’em, don’t even think about sitting down at a restaurant that doesn’t have French fries on the menu.

• Space out. No, I’m not suggesting that you take sedatives while traveling with the children, but find wide open spaces where you and hubby can soak up local ambiance while the rugrats spread their grubby little wings and fly. You can nibble local cheese and bread while they scare pigeons in the piazza, chase bumblebees in an alpine meadow, or roll in the grass at a city park.

• Wet them down while you wet your whistle. When deciding where to stop for a glass of wine, look for a nearby fountain, stream, lake, pond, beach or tropical fish tank. If they can splash, throw rocks, feed ducks or tap on the glass, you have a decent chance of sipping your wine in peace.

Oh – and be sure to take lots of photos, because no matter how torturous family vacations may seem, take it from me, someday you’ll look back and wish you could do it all over again.

Statement by Rear Adm. Jackson during July 22 Chattanooga law enforcement press conference From Navy Region Southeast Public Affairs

C

HATTANOOGA, Tenn.

(NNS) – Just six days ago, a senseless act of violence at both the Chattanooga Navy Recruiting Station and the Navy Operational Support Center claimed the lives of five members of our Department of Navy family.

My deepest sympathies remain with the families of our Sailor and four Marines whose lives were taken during these unimaginable acts of violence.

The grave impact reaches far and wide.

On behalf of Navy leadership, I would especially like to thank the Chattanooga Police Department under the leadership of Chief Fletcher, and the first responders who reacted and responded with such veracity and determination that they most certainly saved lives.

Additionally, the leadership from, and the coordination amongst the federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to conduct a thorough investigation are comprehensive and

reassuring.

We are committed to work with our partners in law enforcement represented here with me on this stage to investigate, review and guard against future vulnerabilities and to safeguard the security of our service members and their families. It is an absolute imperative.

Throughout our nation’s history, Sailors and Marines have served overseas, in harm’s way, and have experienced the deep and lasting pain of combat loss.

Today, here at home, we feel that pain.

And, at the same time, we are reminded that we serve with and alongside brave and valiant Sailors and Marines – just like

those at the Recruiting Center and Naval Operational Support Center who are well trained and responded courageously under fire – the best our nation has to offer.

In the days ahead, our priority will be to take care of the families of those affected.

While the tragedy in Chattanooga is both devastating and senseless, the healing process is ongoing. We have brought to town a cadre of chaplains and grief counselors that are here to bolster our service members

and their families, and to fold into the great efforts that are already being offered.

The citizens of Chattanooga have been incredibly generous with their thoughts and prayers, which are foundational and continue to make a huge difference during the process of recovery.

There is significant interest in the well-being of Petty Officer Smith’s family, and the same is true for the families of our fallen Marines. I have met with Mrs. Smith; she is a re-

markable and resilient woman facing a horrific tragedy. She is appreciative of everyone who has expressed their concern, yet she asks for your understanding in respecting her privacy as she moves ahead during this difficult time.

I can assure you, without a doubt, that we are honored and humbled to serve our nation, both at home and overseas.

What Chattanooga has done to rally during this difficult time is the epitome of why we serve.

God Bless America.

MCPON Stevens welcomes InterACT to the Pentagon

W

ASHINGTON (NNS) – Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) Mike Stevens welcomed the social justice performance troupe InterACT to the Pentagon Thursday afternoon to present Sexual Assault and Prevention Response (SAPR) training to service members and civilians.

InterACT, which started at California State University, Long Beach, presents complicated, realistic scenes about domestic violence and sexual assault, and invites audience members to enact possible interventions on stage.

The troupe has performed for more than 50,000 Sailors and Marines around the world.

“It was an honor to

kick-off the interACT training today here at the Pentagon,” said Stevens. “The training and education that the cast provides is impactful, relevant and truly engages the audience to be involved. By addressing various social issues and situations in a safe, live and realtime environment offers a refreshing way for Sailors and Marines to stay educated about

sexual assault prevention and bystander intervention.”

Sailors, Marines, Soldiers, Airmen and civilians attended the July 23 performances.

“I really enjoyed the training and the fact that it was interactive made it very unique and engaging,” Lt. Cmdr. Peter Field said. “Sexual assault is a tough subject to talk about but this training really helped to

put Sailors in the driver’s seat by allowing them to practice bystander intervention tactics.”

In addition to the Pentagon, interACT actors have performed for

Evans assumes command of Naval Service Training Command

By NSTC Public Affairs Office

R

ear Adm. Stephen C. Evans relieved Rear Adm. Richard A. Brown as Commander, Naval Service Training Command (NSTC), in a traditional change of command ceremony July 21.

The ceremony was held in the USS White Hat at Training Support Center (TSC) aboard Naval Station Great Lakes. USS White Hat, known as the “ship in a bottle,” is a partial replica of a ship at Boatswain’s Mate “A” School used to train the Navy’s future boatswain’s mates.

Rear Adm. Michael S. White, commander, Naval Education and Training Command (NETC), was the principal speaker at the ceremony.

“It’s a privilege to be here today as we gather to take part in a very time-honored Navy tradition to witness the transfer of command,” said White to the more than 100 family, friends, NSTC staff members and Sailors from area commands.

NSTC, headquartered at Naval Station Great Lakes, Ill., oversees 98 percent initial officer and enlisted accessions training for the Navy. This training includes the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) program at more than 160 colleges and universities. NSTC also oversees Officer Training Command (OTC) at Naval Station Newport, R.I., Recruit Training Command (RTC), the Navy’s only boot camp, at Naval Station Great Lakes, as well as the Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NJROTC)

and Navy National Defense Cadet Corps (NNDCC) citizenship development program at more than 600 high schools worldwide.

“The motto of Navy Education and Training Command is ‘Fleet Readiness Starts Here’ and that is literally the case for Naval Service Training Command,” said White. “NSTC is the ‘Source of the Force’ and under the guiding hand of Rear Adm. Brown the results have been nothing short of spectacular.”

Brown, a native of Lowell, Mass., will report as Commander, Carrier Strike 11, embarked onboard USS Nimitz, (CVN 68) home ported in Bremerton, Wash.

“I can think of no higher calling than overseeing the transition of more than 40,000 civilians into Sailors and officers each year,” said Brown. “This has been an incredible tour and I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Great Lakes. I am grateful to the NSTC military and civilian staff for their dedication to the Navy.”

According to White, during Brown’s tenure, NSTC helped continue to grow and reinvigorate the NROTC program at Ivy League schools with the reintroduction of the Brown University unit. He oversaw the

return of the NJROTC National Academic, Athletic and Drill Championships at Naval Air Station Pensacola after a two year absence. Brown also implemented a first-of-its-kind NJROTC suicide prevention, bystander and hazing intervention programs to more than 92,000 cadets worldwide.

Brown also embraced the Massive Multi-Player Online War Game Leveraging the Internet, or MMOWGLI. Partnering with the Naval Academy and Naval Post Graduate School, the crowd-sourcing website is designed to get fleet feedback on common core curriculum for all naval officer accession commands.

Rear Adm. Evans, from Beaufort, S.C., reported to NSTC following assignment as the senior military assistant to the Secretary of the Navy.

Evans received his commission as a member of the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps in 1986 from the Citadel while earning a bachelor of arts degree.

His sea tours include the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), destroyer USS Deyo (DD 989), destroyer USS Hewitt (DD 966) and as executive officer of the cruiser USS Hue City (CG 66) before

taking over as commanding officer of the guided missile destroyer USS Mitscher (DDG 57). He went on to serve as deputy commodore Destroyer Squadron 24 and commodore Destroyer Squadron 50, where he commanded Combined Task Force 55 (Middle East Force) and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Combined Task Force 152. He made numerous deployments to the Arabian Gulf, Mediterranean, North Atlantic and Western Pacific areas of operation earning the Battle Excellence Award in every ship assigned.

His shore commands include Professional Development Division and Chairman of the Admissions Board, United States Naval Academy, and his most recent assignment as senior military assistant to the 75th

Secretary of the Navy.

He holds a master’s degree in national security and strategic studies from the Naval War College.

“It is truly an honor to assume command of NSTC,” said Rear Adm. Evans. “I thank Rear Adm. Brown for his leadership of such a professional staff and their devotion to producing the highest quality Sailors for our fleet. I am excited to lead and I look forward to continuing in the tradition of excellence for our naval accessions training.”

Brown received his commission from the U. S. Naval Academy in 1985 with a bachelor of science degree in mathematics.

He took command of Naval Service Training Command in June 2014.

VT-3 holds change of command ceremony Story, photo

by Ens. Margaret E. Gresham NASWF Public Affairs

Training Air Wing Five’s Training Squadron Three (VT-3) welcomed Cmdr. Jade L. Lepke as the new commanding officer July 17. Lepke assumed command from Cmdr.

James J. Conatser, who served as CO for the past 15 months. The two officers exchanged command of the squadron during ceremonies in Naval Air Station Whiting Field’s (NASWF) atrium building.

Conatser served VT-3 as the XO from November 2012-April 2014 and CO from April 2014-July 2015. During this time, his steadfast leadership, pioneering initiative and unwavering enthusiasm ensured VT-3 produced the richest quality military aviators for the nation. VT-3 completed more than 30,300 sorties, amounting to more than 42,249 flight hours and producing 580 student naval aviators.

They successfully completed three detachments,

including the first-ever T6B squadron-level detachment in Alpena, Mich., in 2014. The quality and safety exemplified by this squadron was clear, and they were recognized in 2013 with the Chief of Naval Operations Aviation Safety award.

In recognition all of these accomplishments, Conatser was awarded with the Meritorious Service Medal. After receiving this medal, Conatser praised VT-3’s team.

“The amount of effort that the students and instructors set forth in this squadron is truly amazing,” said Conatser, “My favorite thing about VT-3 is the genuine care they have for one another, a Red Knight is a Red Knight is a Red Knight, no matter what branch of service or insignia they display, a Red Knight is a Red Knight is a Red Knight.”

According to Conatser, VT-3 had completed more aviators, and more flight

hours with fewer mishaps than any other primary squadron, but that was not what most astonished him.

“It is the quality of military aviator that VT-3 produces that is my best accomplishment, that we have more advanced completers than any other primary training squadron, therefore producing more winged aviators that are out fighting the good fight,” said Conatser.

Conatser and Lepke then stepped forward in

front of the stage while the senior enlisted member of the squadron, Tech Sgt. Herbert Copeman, presented the command pennant to Conatser. He in turn passed it to Lepke, symbolically passing command of the squadron to its new commander. After formally requesting to exchange duties with Conatser, Lepke’s wife pinned the command at shore insignia on his uniform. Lepke then stood in front of the squadron as the commanding officer for the first time and received his first salute from the assembled students in ranks.

It marked the next step in a distinguished career.

Lepke takes command of VT-3 after 24 years of naval service, which began when he enlisted in 1991 with the South Dakota Air National Guard as an aircraft armament systems specialist on the F-16C. After graduating OCS and earning his wings of gold in 1998, Lepke was assigned to HSL-40 for training in the SH-60B helicopter. He served several tours in the Arabian

Gulf and Mediterranean Sea, and supported Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.

Following his operational department head tour, Lepke’s next assignment was to United States Strategic Commad in Omaha, Neb. As a member of the Joint Functional Component Command – Global Strike, he served in the Nuclear Plans Division/Aircraft Strike Branch and was the Global Strike NATO Plans team chief until his departure in July 2013.

“I’ve seen the dedication of this squadron, and I am privileged and thrilled to be the head of VT-3. I am truly humbled and honored with the confidence you’ve placed in me, and I am proud to be your new skipper,” Lepke said as he stood in front of his new squadron, “It is time for me to stop talking and start doing, so without further delay, XO take charge and carry out the plan of the day.”

Cmdr. Chris Biggs will replace Lepke as XO of the squadron.

NASWF Education Fair matches resources with service members

By Ens. Margaret E. Gresham NASWF Public Affairs

Naval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) hosted its first Education Fair in several years July 16. The fair consisted of 25 local and national educational institutions.

The fair showcased a wide array of opportunities for service members to continue their education. The various scholastic programs can help Marines and Sailors in their naval career or help them set up pathways and careers after the Navy.

“I have three classes left until I complete my degree in workforce education and development through the University of

Southern Illinois,” AZC Adrian Lampkins said. “As I prepare to retire, I am confident that I will be able to find a job and continue to educate young men and women because of my degree that I gained while still in the service,” he said.

The fair hosted a variety of colleges and services to help Marines and Sailors achieve their goals. The University of West Florida, Pensacola State College, Troy University and Emery Riddle were just a few of the colleges providing information. Education fairs provide potential students face-to-face time so that they receive invaluable information that they missed or not had access to

from the websites. They also expose people to some services they may not have thought to use.

Robin Giacin, a student service specialist, was there representing TRiO, an educational opportunity center. In particular, she represents Pensacola State College but Garcin said she can help students apply for the Pell Grant to use at any school. Giacin helps people apply for the Pell Grant that can pay up to $5,800 a year to help students with books, rent, study materials or tuition. Many military members do not even consider the grant because they have their tuition covered by their veteran educational bene-

fits, but they are still eligible for the grant to help cover the extra costs associated with school.

Another interesting service is the Defense Activity for NonTraditional Education Support (DANTES), a program that helps service members receive college credits without having to sit through classes. Service members live a challenging lifestyle with their deployments and different duty stations, so it is only fair that they are provided an alternative way to get their education. DANTES provides information on end of course (EOC) tests that students can take; if they pass they get the credit for that class, permitting they are working through a

university that accepts these EOC credits.

Service members will have a transportable degree, this means that they can start a degree program and when they get stationed somewhere else they simply take the credits they have already earned with them to a new university at their new duty station. In addition to the EOC tests, service members can apply for credits by providing certificates and ratings they have earned while in service.

Universities have paired certain military certificates with their course curriculum so patrons can receive credit for work they have already done for their military job.

Avoid a thirsty fate ...

Hydrate!

By MC3 Jeffrey Madlangbayan USS George H.W. Bush

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

U

SS GEORGE H.W. BUSH (CVN 77) at sea (NNS) – As temperatures continue to rise, so does the chance of heat related injuries.

Since the beginning of deployment, the George H.W. Bush carrier strike group has transitioned from winter, to brief spring-like temperatures in the Mediterranean, to the humid temperature of the Arabian Sea. Sudden changes of temperatures make the risk of dehydration especially dangerous if a Sailor doesn’t drink water often.

Lt. William Burrell, a physician assistant from the medical department, recommends Sailors drink two to three liters of water a day to remain hydrated under normal conditions.

“Hydration is one of the most important factors we have to deal with every day, especially in the hot environment we are operating in,” said Burrell.

“Since many of us are not accustomed to a hot environment like this, we may need to triple the normal amount to stay hydrated.”

HM2 Brian Prendingue, from the ship’s medical department, explains how dehydration occurs and how easy it is to lose water in a hot environment.

“Dehydration occurs when the amount of liquid a person loses is more than the amount

they gain,” said Prendingue.

“When performing demanding tasks such as working in a hot machinery room or on the flight deck it is easy to get hot. The body’s natural response is to regain normal temperature by sweating, which causes the body to lose vital water.”

Just like a plant needs water to develop and survive, the human body also needs the right amount of water for maximum performance. There are many aspects that determine how much water a person should drink.

“Environmental factors, such as high temperatures or humidity, cause the body to produce more sweat,” said Burrell. “Each individual’s body composition and chemical balance determines the amount of water that person needs. More water must be consumed to compensate for sweating and the effects of consuming substances such as caffeine or aspirin, which trigger the kidneys to release extra water.”

One of the most common effects of dehydration is heat injuries, which include heat cramps, heat exhaustion and

heat stroke. Each is more severe as dehydration becomes more prolonged.

“When we’re dehydrated, the body can’t regulate its temperature properly, and that results in heat injuries,” said Burrell.

“Plus, the lack of water makes it difficult for our bodies to get rid of the things that we don’t need, and this keeps us feeling unbal-

anced and unable to properly function.”

Staying hydrated also involves knowing how much water you have in your own body. Burrell recommends that Sailors constantly keep track of how much water they have in their body.

“You may not know if you’re in a constant state of dehydration, which is dangerous because dehydration can sneak up on you,” said Burrell. “If you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated and need water.”

Prendingue adds that it’s important for Sailors to recognize how dehydrated they are. Mild stages of dehydration will result in an unclear urine color and include thirst, dry mouth and skin, and fatigue.

“Moderate to severe dehydration includes dark yellow urine, headache, moderate to extreme fatigue, vomiting, dizziness and fainting,” said Prendingue. “Additionally, dehydration may progress to the severe level slowly, from days or weeks without enough water.”

For mild to severe dehydration, Prendingue said the most efficient way of determining degree of dehydration is by urine color.

“We teach everyone about urine color for severity of dehydration,” said Prendingue. “The darker the urine, the worse off you will be.”

When consuming liquids other than water, Prendingue recommends that Sailors should reduce their intake of caffeine

and carbonated liquids, because they do more harm than good to the body.

“Beverages like coffee, tea, soda and especially energy drinks do not hydrate,” said Prendingue. “Instead, they dehydrate. Intake should be limited to no more than one to two of these beverages a day, along with drinking adequate amounts of water.”

Burrell adds that it is OK to consume drinks other than water, as long as you remain hydrated.

“Although water should be consumed more than any other liquid, the body relies on other substances as well, such as electrolytes, in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle,” said Burrell.

“Electrolytes, commonly found in fruit juices and sports drinks, can affect and regulate the hydration of the body, as well as help carry out bodily functions.”

Sports drinks contain high levels of electrolytes, and should be consumed along with water.

Burrell recommends drinking plenty of water with a sports drink, since it is made for replenishment rather than rehydration.

“Water is the best fluid to drink to stay hydrated, and maintain a good, constant energy level and a healthy sleep cycle,” said Burrell. “Proper hydration must always be part of a healthy lifestyle, along with eating healthy and working out.”

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.

“Hyperthermia is caused by a failure of the heat-regulating mechanisms of the body to deal with the heat coming from the environment,” said Kim Calvin, program assistant at the National Institute on Aging. “(Heat emergencies such as) heat fatigue, heat syncope – sudden dizziness after prolonged exposure to the heat – heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke are all forms of hyperthermia. These conditions can pose special health

risks for older adults, and can increase with the combination of outside temperature, general health and individual lifestyle.”

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 light, loose-fitting clothing, and drink plenty of water. For those without air conditioning in their homes, public facilities such as libraries and malls offer free entry to an air conditioned space to spend time during the warmest parts of the day.

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 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.

Military Times honors Service Members of the Year Story, photo

by MC1 Tim D. Godbee Defense Media Activity

W

ASHINGTON (NNS) – Five service members from all four branches of the Department of Defense and the U.S. Coast Guard were honored during the 2015 Military Times Service Members of the Year award ceremony in the Caucus Room of the Cannon House Office Building on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., July 21.

The awardees were nominated for the awards by their peers for service to both their nation and communities.

The Navy’s honoree was HM3 Sara Freeman, assigned to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69).

“I was truly humbled and honored when I found out; I don’t feel like I should be here,” said Freeman. “I’ve done community work, worked hard every day and helped people at every opportunity, but that’s what being a Sailor is.”

Though Freeman was humble about her selection, her chain of command is overwhelmingly impressed with her. She was nominated by her leading chief petty officer without her knowledge until she was pulled aside by her upper chain of command and told the

news via a conference telephone call with the Navy Times editor.

“I didn’t know what to do,” said Freeman. “I couldn’t hear or see anything at that point. I had to maintain my military bearing, but the shock was overwhelming.”

The awardees received a weeklong, all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., a ceremony on Capitol Hill with numerous members of congress, high-ranking military officials and family in attendance, $1,000 donated to their local MWR and a $30,000 scholarship to Kaplan University that can be used by themselves or a dependent.

“HM3 Freeman has a little over five years in the Navy,” said Deputy Chief of Naval Operations, Integration of Capabilities and Recourses, Vice

Vice Adm. Joseph Mallo, deputy chief of naval operations for integration of capabilities and recourses, congratulates HM3 Sara Freeman as she is announced as the 2015 Navy Times Sailor of the Year during a ceremony on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Freeman was selected from dozens of other submissions after being nominated by her chain of command aboard the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69).

Adm. Joseph Malloy. “In this time she has done almost as much as the average senior chief. Her efforts as command pregnancy coordinator pushed women’s health readiness to 89 percent. She also administered 1,556 health assessments, nearly 4,000 immunizations, qualified 12 CPR instructors and 54 basic life support students, helping Ike net a 99 percent individual medical readiness rate – the highest in the fleet.”

Freeman, a survivor of sexual assault prior to joining the Navy, also served on Eisenhower’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response team and volunteered her personal time to prevent sexual assault in the Hampton Roads area. As impressive as her resume may read, she accredits her recent success to being herself, genuinely caring, and working hard.

“I wake up every day and I’m thankful for all of the small

things I have – especially my son,” said Freeman. “Having a positive attitude and going into every situation knowing that you may not get what you want, but you’ll always have what you need is what keeps me going.”

This year, the 15th Military Times Service Members of the Year ceremony, had the most applicants in the program’s history which increased competition for each of the service members selected.

You can help spread Navy’s responsible drinking message From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

MILLINGTON, Tenn.

(NNS) – This summer, the Navy Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention (NADAP) Office is hosting a contest for Sailors to submit their ideas for a new poster and slogan for the “Keep What You’ve Earned” (KWYE) campaign.

Now is your chance to put your creativity to the test, show the Navy what responsible drinking means to you and help your shipmates make smart decisions.

The KWYE campaign recognizes how hard you’ve worked to be successful in your career. As a Sailor, you’ve made

sacrifices in your life, including choosing a more responsible lifestyle. The campaign encourages you to celebrate all that you have accomplished during your time in the Navy, and to protect your career, life and the lives of those around you by choosing to drink responsibly.

But what does responsible drinking mean to you?

If you’ve ever been at a bar with your friends and wanted to scream, “Stop embarrassing

yourself,” or woken up after a night out and wished you had passed up on that extra beer, here’s your opportunity to remind others not to make the same mistake. If you’ve ever been worried about a friend’s drinking habits but didn’t know how to speak up, this is your chance to have a voice. If you’ve watched a Sailor get in a car with someone who has been drinking, now is the time to get a message out and encourage

responsible decision-making.

The “Keep What You’ve Earned” campaign needs your help spreading messages of responsible drinking to the Navy community. The campaign encourages all Sailors with creative and meaningful messages about responsible drinking to participate in the poster contest.

E-mail your submissions and any questions to sara.sisung.ctr @navy.mil by Aug. 31. There is no limit on the number of submissions per Sailor, so feel free to explore all of your slogan and design ideas. If you win, your poster will be featured on the NADAP website and will be available for download by campaign partners. You will serve a pivotal role in helping the cam-

paign find new, creative ways to promote responsible decisionmaking in the Navy.

To learn more about the KWYE poster contest and read guidelines on how to submit your ideas, go to www.npc.navy. mil/bupers-npc/support/21st _Century_Sailor/nadap/Pages/ default2.aspx and go directly to the KWYE poster contest description and instructions for use.

As a Sailor you make important decisions every day. It’s in your hands to prevent instances of irresponsible alcohol use in the Navy and protect your fellow shipmates.

COMMAND LINES

SAPR If you are a victim of sexual assault, it is not your fault. Help for victims of sexual assault in the DoD community is a call, click or text away: The SafeHelpline provides live, one-on-one crisis support and information by trained staff. Call: (877) 995-5247; click: www.SafeHelpline.org; or text: 55-247, CONUS; (202) 470-5546, OCONUS (may be extra charges for OCONUS).

The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program provides prevention, intervention and a 24/7/365 response to non-intimate partner adult victims of sexual assault. Active-duty and adult family member sexual assault victims have a choice of reporting options, unrestricted and restricted. Unrestricted reporting allows victim 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-ofcommand, 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.

To contact the NASP 24/7 Victim Advocate, call 449-9231/2. For the Civilian Victim Advocate, call 293-4561. To contact the duty SARC, call the SARC cell at 554-5606.

GOSPORT

Welcome to GOSPORT. Ever wonder why its called GOSPORT? 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 has over 25,000 readers every week. www.gosportpensacola.com
