NASP participating in Feds Feed Families Story, photo from NAS Pensacola Public Affairs

Service members, retirees and military families near Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola can participate in a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-led initiative to assist the local food banks.

Feds Feed Families (FFF), a charitable venture initiated by the USDA in 2009, was created to help food banks and pantries stay stocked during the summer months, a period when these organizations historically see a decrease in donations and an increase in need, according to the USDA official website. The campaign began June 26 and is scheduled to continue through Aug. 9.

“The hunger issue in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties is similar to that in other areas around the United States,” said Religious Program Specialist 2nd Class Timothy Martin, the NAS Pensacola Religious Ministries Department assistant leading petty officer. “Being in a position

to donate some food items to the community we call home is something I think we all can appreciate. Helping out those less fortunate is not only part of being a good service member, but is part of being a good member of the community.”

Martin said area commands

should have a designated receptacle for items donated through the Feds Feed Families campaign, as well as a point of contact. He added that NAS Pensacola locations for dropping off non-perishable foods include the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) onboard

NAS Pensacola Corry Station, the All Faiths Chapel, the NAS Pensacola Air Operations Tower and the NAS Pensacola Headquarters Building.

“DeCA (Defense Commissary Agency) has also implemented a program through which service members or eligible patrons wishing to contribute to the Feds Feed Families campaign can purchase prebagged items that will be donated,” Martin said. “This ensures the most needed products will be available to community members needing assistance.”

Martin said the campaign has historically worked with an Escambia and Santa Rosa County-area food bank that NAS Pensacola has maintained a relationship with for years. He added that items the organization needs most include canned of dry beans; peanut butter, canned vegetables, grains, hot and cold cereal, canned tuna or salmon, canned chicken, healthy snacks, canned fruits and juices.

“We (NAS Pensacola Religious Ministries) work

with them (the food bank) throughout the year and the most needed items are something the majority of us have or buy regularly,” Martin said.

According to the USDA website, the annual food drive has collected nearly 80 million pounds of food since the campaign began in 2009 through donations from federal employees coordinating with partner organizations. In 2017, more than 10.4 million pounds were donated and provided to food banks and pantries throughout the United States.

NAS Pensacola, referred to as the “Cradle of Naval Aviation,” is designed to support operational and training missions of tenant commands including Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC); Naval Aviation Schools Command (NASC); the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT); Marine Aviation Training Support Groups (MATSG) 21 and 23; and is the headquarters for Naval Education and Training Command (NETC).

Capt. Amy Branstetter, Nurse Corps, relinquished command of Naval Hospital Pensacola (NHP) to Capt. David Webster, Medical Corps, at a change of command ceremony June 29 at the National Museum of Naval Aviation onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola.

NHP has been providing care

since 1826 and includes ten branch clinics across five states – Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi and Indiana.

Approximately 55,000 patients are enrolled for care at the hospital and the branch clinics.

During Branstetter’s tenure as commanding officer of NHP, she has overseen several significant and successful changes including successful development of the Surgeon General’s Connected Corpsmen

in the Community proof of concept, the reestablishment of the Gulf Coast Department of Defense Veterans Administration Executive Management Team, and the successful NHP transformation from inpatient hospital services to The Joint Commission gold star accreditation in ambulatory and mental health care. Under her command, the hospital was honored with consecutive DoD Patient Safety Awards, making it one of the most recognized commands in Navy Medicine.

“To the staff of Naval Hospital Pensacola and its branch health clinics, thank you for an amazing and challenging two years,” Branstetter said. “Your commitment to this command and the patients we are so privileged to care for is evident in everything that you do. You are the reason that this hospital and its branch clinics enjoy such a positive reputation, not only in Navy Medicine but throughout the military health system.”

By Mike O’Connor Gosport Editor

The NAS Pensacola Station Library has been updated and renovated to bring base personnel a comfortable environment to learn, relax and enjoy.

According to Hannah Rapetti, the supervisory library technician, the library has a new floor plan, new furniture, new computers, stronger WiFi and more printers.

“We have switched from Library of Congress classification to bookstore model classification,” Rapetti said. “This means we now do everything like a bookstore and by subjects. Want a science book? Go look in the science section. Want fiction or graphic novels? We have those too. We also have audiobooks for all age groups.”

The goal was to create a welcoming space that See Library on page 2

NAS Pensacola participates in annual NAVFAC fuel spill drill Story, photo from NAS Pensacola Public Affairs

As part of a series of regularly scheduled exercises, the Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola Installation Training Team (ITT) held a fuel spill drill July 24 at the air station’s fuel farm.

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Fuel/Oil Spill Training and Exercise drill, a coordinated effort designed to measure the installation’s capability of effectively planning and responding to a potential fuel spill, was organized through the air station’s Environmental and Safety Departments and Fire and Emergency Services Gulf Coast (F&ESGC).

“This is important to the base because the amount of fuel that we deal with on a daily basis is significant,” Trent Hathaway, the NAS Pensacola installationtraining officer said. “We have to be able to (train like this) to be able to effectively respond to any situation as quickly as possible to ensure the least amount of impact on the base and the environment.”

Fire and Emergency Services Gulf Coast (F&ESGC) Capt.

Steve Banks (left) and Station Chief Steve Welch respond to a casualty during the annual Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Fuel/Oil Spill Training and Exercise drill July 24 onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola. The drill, designed to measure the installation’s capability of effectively planning and responding to a potential fuel spill, engaged several NAS Pensacola departments in a simulated 58,000-gallon fuel spill as a result of an aircraft crash into the air station’s fuel farm.

The drill involved the simulated crash of a T-6 Texan aircraft on the east side of the air station’s fuel farm, an area in which jet fuel is stored for use by training squadrons onboard

NAS Pensacola. For purposes of the training exercise, a piece of the aircraft struck a fuel tank during the crash. The simulated impact caused more than 58,000 gallons of simulated fuel to spill

across retention area.

“Being able to respond to situations such as this help us ensure we remain in compliance with Department of Defense, Navy and local environmental protection guidelines,” Darrell Wilson, a NAVFAC Southeast environmental engineer and the NAS Public Works Department Air/Tanks/Spill Prevention, Countermeasure and Control (SPCC) program manager said.

“Not only do exercises like these provide us an opportunity to train in how to mitigate potential mishaps to NAS Pensacola personnel, but these give us the opportunity to exercise methods of ensuring we remain proactive in protecting the environment in this area.”

F&ESGC exercise participants were required to respond to the simulated aircraft crash site and render assistance to the “pilot.” Due to the simulated amount of fuel spillage, F&ESGC personnel additionally set up a mobile decontamination station while NAS Pensacola’s Security Department cordoned off the area and the air station’s

NHP from page 1 Immediately following the change of command ceremony, Branstetter retired from the Navy after 28 years of service. The Indiana native will remain in the Pensacola area following retirement.

“I consider myself very fortunate and honored to have been afforded this privilege to lead Naval Hospital Pensacola,” Branstetter said. “I look forward to following your continued successes and seeing you take the command to the next level.”

Webster’s last assignment was as the executive officer for Naval Hospital Sigonella, Italy. He holds a residency in Family and Aerospace Medicine. He has previously served at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, Virginia; Naval Hospital Jacksonville, Florida; Naval Health Clinic Kings Bay, Georgia; and Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. He earned his doctorate from Hahnemann University School of Medicine as well as a Master’s in Public Health from the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health.

“It’s an honor that can’t be understated to become the 26th Commander of Naval Hospital Pensacola,” Webster said. “Today, there is no greater Military Treatment Facility in Navy Medicine than the team I have been selected to lead.”

Webster said he plans to continue focusing on patient satisfaction, but will also emphasize readiness amongst the active-duty population, including staff at the hospital and branch clinics.

“It is a privilege to be able to work with such an extraordinary group of health care professionals,” Webster said. “Our mission here is clear; to deliver high-quality health care to ensure a medically ready force and a ready medical force.”

Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla.: A Bicentennial Defense Community Commanding Officer – Capt. Timothy Kinsella Jr. Public Affairs Officer – Jason J. Bortz 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 biplane 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-

promotes professional and recreational development, she said.

The starchy, uptight library image is gone, too. Talking out loud here won’t earn you a librarian’s disapproving look.

“A big part about this switch is that we are no longer a library where you’ll be shushed at every turn,” Rapetti said. “We welcome noise, large study groups, groups of the base community to come for playdates or just to hang and play Monopoly.”

For those that do like quiet spaces in a library, your needs are still covered.

“We have a new Quiet Zone area, which includes individual study carrels (private desks), computers, laptops, bar height seating, small tables with dry erase boards and large study tables,” she added.

There’s no high-end coffee served at this book stop, but the Old Navy Yard Eatery is located right next door.

Additional library enhancements include: • Created a “makerspace area” to include blocks, puzzles, board games and art supplies • There are now 32 computers available including three NMCI computers.

Printing is free but with limitations on how much one may print each day.

• There are even laptops that can be checked out for use in the library. A user can come to the desk, check out a

environmental office determined that a request for additional support in cleanup and area maintenance was merited.

According to Hathaway, the exercise is part of a series of NAVFAC-mandated readiness drills, gauges the effectiveness of individual, team and command response.

He added that NAS Pensacola has historically maintained an excellent response in responding to drills and exercises.

“The concept of doing a field exercise such as this is that this allows the personnel to actually respond and go through the physical steps of everything from responding to the actual aircraft crash to identifying other issues,” he said. “For this scenario, we built from a crash to a large fuel spill and then the coordination of bringing out all the personnel needed, everything from fuels to environmental to security and the outside contractor which will help reclaim the fuel. Just like everything we do at NAS Pensacola, exercises and drills are a team effort.”

A tribute to summer soft serve joints

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist

A

few months ago, I was cursing my place in the world.

I mean literally, the actual spot where we live here in “Rhode Iceland.” After my husband retired from the Navy, I thought I could handle the harsh, bitter, seemingly endless New England winters, but every time it snows in April (and it does every year) I curse the ground it falls upon.

But somehow, without fail, summer comes to this temperamental part of the planet, and it has the same effect that the birth of each of my three babies had on me after long hours of labor – I am so happy to see it, I completely forget about the excruciating pain I just endured.

As soon as the flowers begin to bloom, the lawn turns green, and mild coastal breezes waft over the bay – POOF! I have selective amnesia. I suddenly can’t recall the chunks of gritty snow hanging from my car’s wheel wells, the salt

stains on my leather boots, the Nor’easters that cut me to the quick, the chapped lips, the flakey skin, and our shocking fuel oil bills.

I never know the exact date that the mercy of selective amnesia will thaw my frozen psyche, but it usually coincides with another much-anticipated yearly event – the opening of our local summer soft serve ice cream joint.

Those who are stationed in California, Hawaii, Arizona, Florida, or Texas might not understand this, but living in cli-

About the columnist Lisa Smith Molinari, mother of three, was a military spouse for more than 25 years. Her husband recently retired from the Navy. Her syndicated column appears in military and civilian newspapers, including Stars and Stripes, and on her blog, www.themeat a nd p ot a t o e s of l i fe.c o m . mates with harsh winters does come with certain benefits. And one of those is the privilege of experiencing summer soft serve joints. They are generally dumpy, privately-owned, small businesses run out of shacks with walk-up windows, neon signs and outdoor picnic tables.

They only operate in summer, and local folks line up on opening day. Their soft serve cones are always huge, but the napkins

are inevitably too small to catch the drips. They have names that often include cutesy misspelled derivations of “freeze,” “cone,” “treat,” “dairy,” and “cream.”

Where I grew up in Western Pennsylvania, there’s one such joint called “Stern’s” in the former coal mining borough of Creekside. On any given night in summer, locals line up for humongous swirled soft serve cones that look like they’ll topple over they’re so tall, and home-made hot apple dumplings smothered in vanilla frozen custard.

After marriage, the Navy took my family to tours of duty in warmer climates where our ice cream cravings could only be satisfied at year-round chain restaurants. And while stationed overseas, we took the mandatory culinary detour away from American cuisine to experience the delights of European gelato parlors.

But soon after being stationed in Rhode Island six years ago, our family learned about “Frosty Freez,” a tiny walk-up shack in a parking lot in front a strip joint off of East Main Street, between an insurance agency and Glam Nail Salon.

That first summer, we heard the hubbub about opening day, and wondered, “What’s the big deal? Why is everyone lining

up for basic soft-serve and rainbow sprinkles?” But it didn’t take us long to catch the aura of this iconic little gem. Now, we fight the line with everyone else, swatting bugs attracted to the neon lights, to get our rightful taste of the season.

My order is usually vanilla and coffee custard swirled on a cone, and dipped in chocolate, because I love the process of systematically nibbling off the chocolatey shell and licking the ice cream drips. Francis typically opts for a strawberry shake. The kids orders vary, but they mostly go for the candy-packed “Flurries.”

Local joints like Frosty Freez thrive despite stiff competition from year-round establishments because they represent something more than the cheap frozen custard they express out of stainless steel machines into flimsy cones and dip in waxy imitation chocolate. To the people who flock to them, they represent sunshine and swimming pools, green grass and garden hoses, flip-flops and fireflies, baseball games and bathing suits, sunburns and screened doors, fire pits and Frisbees, bug bites and beach chairs.

Simply put, soft serve ice cream joints are American symbols of summer joy.

New uniform mobile app has new name, new guidance From Cmdr. Erik Wells Sea Warrior Program (PMW 240) Public Affairs

A

RLINGTON, Virginia (NNS) – One of the more popular mobile applications the Navy has is the OPNAV Uniform Regulations app released in October 2017. Just like your worn-out uniforms, the app needed updated. With a new name and more information, the OPNAV Uniform Regulations is now MyNavy UNIFORMS which hit app stores July 18.

“There are two major updates to the app,” Robert Carroll, the head of the naval uniform office at Chief of Naval Personnel said.

“We added a chapter (Chapter 2) on Grooming Standards and a chapter (Chapter 5) on Identification Badges/Awards/Insignia based on feedback from Sailors.”

The changes in hairstyles for female Sailors are addressed and includes photographs of both au-

thorized and unauthorized hairstyles. Within the app, there is a link to the All-Hands website for female hairstyles and provides illustrations and examples of authorized hairstyles. Please refer to the “Hair” section under “Personal Appearance” within the MyNavy UNIFORMS app.

With uniforms being phasedout and phased-in, and grooming standards changing, it can be difficult for Sailors to navigate

regulations and instructions to stay on top of the guidance for properly wearing their uniforms components and accouterments.

Sailors will find an FAQ section and a NAVADMIN Library that links to a variety of articles and regulations relevant to the proper wear and maintenance of uniforms. The latest COMUSFTFORCOM message covering

the Improved Flame Resistant Variant (IFRV) Coverall is also included in the app.

“One of the best features of the app is the Uniform Browser which has been updated to reflect recent policy changes,” Dave Driegert, assistant program manager for the Sea Warrior Program (PMW 240) mobility team said. “With re-

quirements to maintain four sets of uniforms – working, service, dress and formal – the Uniform Browser is a quick resource tool to quickly jump to a particular section of the app to find the answers Sailors are seeking.”

The MyNavy UNIFORMS app is free and available for download from the Navy App Locker, https://www.applocker. navy.mil and does not require the use of a Common Access Card.

The Sea Warrior Program along with Tracen Technology updated the app. The Sea Warrior Program manages a complex portfolio of information technology systems that provide full life cycle management to support MyNavy HR business operations initiatives.

USS Michael Murphy provides aid to stranded mariners

By PO2 Justin Pacheco U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command & U.S. Fourth Fleet Public Affairs

PACIFIC OCEAN (NNS) – The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) rescued distressed mariners at sea July 24.

While conducting routine operations in the U.S. 4th Fleet area of operations, Michael Murphy spotted a small vessel with individuals aboard waving flags in distress.

Five Peruvian mariners were aboard the fishing boat, which had suffered engine failure off the coast of Peru before drifting for more than eight days. The vessel was located 80 nautical miles off the Ecuadorian coast.

The boat was initially observed by Ens. Adrienne Wang while standing watch as the Junior Officer of the Deck, and Ens. Alex Misenheimer as the Officer of the Deck. The vessel was confirmed by GM2 Ryan Buck using the ship’s optical sighting system, and BM3 Devansh Mehta and BMSN Samuel Torres, who were on watch in the pilot house.

Michael Murphy’s boarding team, including CMC Jose Ramiro, MAC Glenn Rakowski, search-and-rescue swimmer OSC Peter Lancieri, Boat Officer Ens. Bernardo Martinez, and HM1 Philip Trent were quickly dispatched to assess the situation.

The fishermen were provided food, water and repairs to their engine, having run short on food five days prior, and were on their third day without fresh water.

“Today’s events provided us an opportunity to render assistance to fellow mariners in need,” Cmdr. Christopher Forch, Commanding Officer aboard Michael Murphy said. “Our training and capabilities allowed us to quickly assess the situation, plan the rescue operation, and care for these fishermen who found themselves adrift for a significant period of time. A chance encounter at sea resulted in the preservation of five lives.”

Machinist’s mates were later dispatched to the boat to provide mechanical assistance, but lacked the parts needed to make necessary repairs. The fishermen were transferred to Michael Murphy while their boat was rigged to be towed. Commander, 4th Fleet’s team assisted in making arrangements to have the fishing vessel towed to Ecuadorian waters for a successful turnover with the Ecuadorian Coast Guard.

Assisting mariners in distress is the responsibility of all vessels at sea, even warships.

Michael Murphy is currently deployed to the U.S. 4th Fleet area of operations, following its participation in UNITAS LX and Teamwork South 2019 in Valparaiso, Chile, June 24 to July 3.

NIWC Atlantic Team tests exploratory technology during Navy, Marine Exercise

By C. Michaela Judge Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command Public Affairs

CHARLESTON, South Carolina (NNS) – Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic demonstrated nine exploratory technologies during the 21st Century Combined Arms Advanced Naval Technology Exercise (ANTX) East July 9 to 20 at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

The Navy and Marine Corps worked to provide a platform for more than 35 government agencies, industry and academia to test technology prototypes emphasizing maneuver, logistics and force protection capabilities.

ANTX East is the fourth in a series of exercises designed to identify capability options for the warfighter aimed at addressing emerging operational requirements within 12 to 18 months.

During the week, NIWC Atlantic demoed prototypes focused on logistics, command and control, strike and electronic attack and warfare. A few of the technologies assessed included small-unmanned aerial systems, command and control enhancements and 360-video capabilities captured through semi-autonomous systems.

TRACER: Sailors use augmented reality to train for combat

By Bobby Cummings Office of Naval Research The Sailors file into the room, their weapons ready and their adrenaline flowing. They operate as a team in a seamless manner. Their mission: to secure an active-shooter situation and apprehend the holographic perpetrator. Commands are given to the shooter, within the augmented-reality (AR) headset. The shooter surrenders, and the Sailors’ mission is accomplished.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global TechSolutions program has teamed with Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Dahlgren, U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command and industry partners, Magic Leap Horizons and Haptech Inc. to develop a breakthrough AR training environment. The Tactically Reconfigurable Artificial Combat Enhanced Reality (TRACER) project was recently tested at the Center for Security Forces (CENSECFOR) Detachment Chesapeake, on Naval Support Activity Northwest Annex, in Currituck County, North Carolina.

TechSolutions is ONR Global’s rapid-response science and technology initiative that develops prototype technologies, to address problems voiced by Sailors and Marines, within approximately 12 months.

The TRACER system consists of the Magic Leap One AR headset, a backpack processor and a Haptech Inc., state-ofthe-art instrumented weapon, designed to deliver realistic recoil. More importantly, TRACER leverages and builds upon

software developed by Magic Leap Horizons as part of the U.S. Army’s Augmented Reality Dismounted Soldier Training (ARDST) project, providing advanced weapons tracking and allowing trainers to create multiple and adaptable simulation scenarios for security personnel to experience.

“Our training system is built mostly from commercial-offthe-shelf products, so we are using widely available gaming gear,” Dr. Patrick Mead, TRACER project lead from the Human Systems Research and Development branch at NSWC Dahlgren, said. “All of these technologies combine together

to give us extremely accurate weapon and movement tracking capabilities as well as highly immersive simulation visual, auditory and haptic (relating to the sense of touch) feedback.

Ultimately, TRACER provides Sailors with dynamic, engaging and less predictable training scenarios that would otherwise be too costly or time consuming to create in the real world.”

The mission at CENSECFOR is to train Sailors from divergent career fields in U.S. Navy security force fundamentals, code of conduct, anti-terrorism and expeditionary warfare training—in order to achieve maritime-interdiction and irreg-

ular-warfare superiority.

“We can integrate this AR, virtual training environment into our existing curriculum, and it allows us to be very reconfigurable,” Cmdr. Kim Littel, CENSECFOR director of training innovation said. “We can go in and we can change the scenarios, or we can change the opposition forces and the threat that they pose.”

For Sailors who often have to train and remain proficient while at sea, flexibility is crucial.

According to Littel, the necessary space required to conduct training operations on a ship are limited and the opportunity

to conduct training without impeding on regular operations is scarce. TRACER will help mitigate those issues and help increase proficiency and currency in more expansive training scenarios.

“In an environment where we’re taking students from the fleet, from their primary jobs, to train them; we need to maximize the limited time we have to make them as proficient as possible,” Littel said. “This technology provides a huge advantage by being quickly adaptable to different scenarios, geographic locations and opposition forces. Using this technology, we can conduct training almost anywhere, anytime.”

TRACER earned rave reviews during the demo at CENSECFOR. “I would say it’s going to bring a lot of value to our training because you can immediately redo a training operation,” Senior Chief Thomas Pruter, who is assigned to CENSECFOR and helped design scenarios for the demo, said. “We underwent two to three hours of training and we were creating scenarios, putting people into them, getting sailors to run through those scenarios, rebuilding them and executing.

“I think if we continue to submit our ideas, and ONR can continue to build off them and improve, it will be good for our Sailors and our security forces,” he continued.

MWR shines at NAS Whiting Field

By Julie Ziegenhorn NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs Office

T

he Naval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) Morale Welfare and Recreation (MWR) team is one of the best in the Department of Defense, serving families of active duty and retiree members throughout the area.

Their mission is designed to contribute to the retention, readiness and mental, physical and emotional well-being of military personnel and to the welfare of their families by providing a varied program of recreational, social and community activities. They assist in sustaining the fleet, enabling the fighter and supporting the family through exceptional quality of life services and programs.

As part of an ongoing process to ensure mission readiness, Commander, Navy Installations Command, (CNIC) MWR conducts site accreditation

visits during the fiscal year. The CNIC MWR Accreditation Program evaluates four critical elements: compliance with Navy MWR Program Standards, financial performance, customer satisfaction and facility management.

MWR operations that demonstrate sound management, program delivery and embody the spirit of the accreditation process will earn basis accreditation.

Those operations that exhibit superior overall performance including program reviews and on-site visits in addition to basic accreditation, receive recognition as a

Five-Star program.

In Fiscal Year 2018, CNIC awarded the NAS Whiting Field MWR program with a five-star accreditation.

“Each day I have the opportunity of working with a passionate and motivational team that shares the same goals I have which is to take care of our Sailors, Marines and their families,” NASWFs MWR Director Tom Kubalewski said about his team. “Together we strive to make a difference each day.”

The MWR team is also currently in contention as one of four finalists for this year’s National Recreation and Park

The NAS Whiting Field MWR team also manages a library onboard the base, where children enjoy events that stimulate their love for learning and adventure.

in long-range planning, resource management and innovative approaches to delivering superb park and recreation services with fiscally sound business practices.

The National Gold Medal Award Program includes seven classes: five classes based upon population, one class for armed forces recreation, which is the category NAS Whiting Field MWR will vie for, and one class for state park systems in odd-numbered years.

The NRPA Grand Award recipients will be announced at the NRPA Annual Conference in September.

The other installation MWR activities finalists are: • Marine Corps Base Camp Smedley D. Butler – Okinawa,

Japan • United States Army Garrison Bavaria – Grafenwoehr, Germany • USAG RheinlandPfalz – Kaiserslautern, Germany Whether or not they win, Kubalewski said, “We don’t measure success by the amount of work completed today; we measure success by what we did for a Sailor today. As (motivational speaker) Zig Ziglar once stated, ‘your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.’ We have great employees with great attitudes who continue to do great things.”

Congratulations to the NAS Whiting Field MWR team for all their recent successes and for all they do to support Sailors and their families.

Pensacola native serves aboard one of Navy’s most versatile combat warships

By MC1 Amanda Rae Moreno Navy Office of Community Outreach

A

2016 West Florida Baptist Academy graduate and Pensacola native provides key support as part of combat operations aboard Littoral Combat Squadron 2, stationed at Naval Station Mayport, Florida.

GM2 Caleb Fuller serves as a gunner’s mate responsible for handling anything surrounding weapons in the navy.

“We fix, test and shoot weaponry,” Fuller said. “We also train others on the ship to be able to use the equipment.”

Fuller credits success in the Navy to many of the lessons learned in Pensacola.

“I learned that hard work pays off,” Fuller said. “Just because you mess up doesn’t mean you can’t come back

and be more successful.”

It is designed submarines and fast take into account the to defeat asymmetric surface craft, littoral unique design and “anti-access” threats combat ships are a bold manning of LCS and such as mines, quiet diesel submarines and fast surface craft.

The ship’s technological benefits allow for swapping mission packages quickly, meaning sailors can support multiple missions, such as surface

its associated mission modules.

According to Navy officials, the path to becoming an LCS sailor is a long one. Following an 18-month training pipeline, Sailors have to qualify on a simulator that is nearly identical to the ship. This intense and realistic training pipeline allows Sailors to execute their roles and responsibilities immediately upon stepping aboard.

Fuller is now a part of a long-standing tradition of serving in the Navy our nation needs.

“My grandfathers, my dad, and two of my uncles served,” Fuller said. “It is a major part of our family.”

Fuller said they are proud to be part of a warfighting team that readily defends America at all times.

“Serving in the ceremonial guard for two years I took part in hundreds of veteran funerals and highprofile events,” Fuller said. “It gave me a great sense of pride to represent the Navy at such important and meaningful events.”

Fuller is playing

an important part in America’s focus on rebuilding military readiness, strengthening alliances and reforming business practices in support of the National Defense Strategy.

“Our priorities center on people, capabilities and processes, and will be achieved by our focus on speed, value, results and partnerships,” Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer said. “Readiness, lethality and modernization are the requirements driving these priorities.”

As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied upon capital assets, Fuller and other sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes.

Serving in the Navy, Fuller is learning about being a more respectable leader, sailor and person through handling numerous responsibilities.

“My whole life I have wanted to serve,” Fuller said. “I carry my family’s legacy and am proud to be a part of the most powerful Navy in the world.”

Mamma Mia! taking the stage by song at PLT

Pensacola Little Theatre will be hosting productions of Mamma Mia throughout August. Stop in to see the classic comedy show about a girl’s search for her true father during her wedding.

Story, photo From Ashley McGlothren Marketing Specialist Pensacola Little Theatre

The Pensacola Little Theatre (PLT) proudly presents Mamma Mia, the feel good musical based on the music of ABBA as the first production of the 2019-2020 Mainstage

season. Carla Rhodes directs this vibrant and colorful Broadway musical with music directed by Tina Buran.

Show dates are Aug. 2 to 4, 8 to 11 and 15 to 19. Tickets are on sale now.

Mamma Mia! is the story of Donna, the owner of a Greek island resort, whose daughter Sophie is getting married.

Unbeknownst to Donna, Sophie invites three of Donna’s former flames to her wedding in hopes of determining which of them is her father.

Joining them are Donna’s two best friends, who are part of Donna & the Dynamos, a 70s singing group. This story is told with all of your favorite ABBA songs, including Mamma Mia!, Dancing Queen, Take a Chance on Me and many, many more.

Veronica Lidnholm and Brooke Fleming have taken on the roles of Sophie and Donna, the lovable mother and daughter duo. A large ensemble of Pensacola’s local talent rounds out the rest of the cast.

Tickets are available online at www.PensacolaLittleTheatre.com and through the box office at 432-2042 or by visiting on weekdays from noon to 5 p.m.
