NFA receives grant to continue STEM Saturday program From Katie King EW Bullock Associates

The National Flight Academy (NFA) onboard NAS Pensacola has been awarded a $25,000 grant from AT&T to support STEM Saturdays –an introductory science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) program designed for young children in third through sixth grades. Held the third Saturday of every month, STEM students spend a half-day at the NFA engaged in hands-on activities with their group’s “Chief” aboard the world’s only landlocked aircraft carrier, AMBITION. Students participate in five hours of fun, interactive and educational activities and are provided lunch on the ship’s Mess Deck. Additionally, all participants get a chance to fly an aircraft, drone or remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) in one of the NFA’s 42 flight simulators locat-

ed in the Hangar Bay. STEM Saturday programs cost between $40-50 per child, including labor and product costs. Thanks to AT&T underwriting the tuition costs, the NFA will be able to run the program from August 2018 through May 2019 at only $30 per child. “To maintain our country’s global leadership in aviation, today’s students must advance their skills in science, technology, education, and math,” Ray Walker AT&T regional director said. “Our company’s support will provide educational outreach and hands-on activities for our younger generation to raise awareness of some of the exciting opportunities available to them.” The STEM Saturday program allows students to explore the principles of flight and aerodynamics by flying the See NFA on page 2

Predesign public survey for NAS Pensacola Bay Living Shoreline Project Your input is needed; visit https://myescambia.com/our-services/natural-resources-management/shoreline-project-questionnaire

From https://myescambia.com

Escambia County has received funding from the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council as a result of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill for the design and permitting of a large-scale living shoreline project in Pensacola Bay. Public involvement is a key component of this project and the county is seeking public input about the project design. Public comments received as a result of this survey

will be used by the design team to guide the development of the overall conceptual design. The project will include three separate areas around NAS Pensacola (NASP): one adjacent to White Island in northwestern Pensacola Bay and the other two on the eastern and southern shores of NASP. The goal is to create 24,800 linear feet of rock and oyster reef breakwater to protect the shorelines from further erosion by reducing storm surge impacts. The project will also create 205 acres of marsh and

Scholarships for Military Children awards 700 grants Four scholarships awarded at NAS Pensacola

By Mike Perron DeCA public affairs specialist

FORT LEE, Va. – Seven hundred students from military families each received a $2,000 scholarship this year, thanks to the 2018 Scholarships for Military Children program. The program, created in 2001, recognizes the contributions of military families to the readiness of the fighting force and celebrates the commissary’s role in enhancing military quality of life. It is administered by Fisher House Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides assistance to service members and their families. Local winners, listed at www.militaryscholar.org/sfmc/winners18. html, include four from NAS Pensacola:

• Kiley Brady • Joshua Brady • Mitchell Brown • Mackenzie Miller “This year, we ended with fewer applicants than last year,” Marye Dobson, the Defense Commissary Agency’s (DeCA) scholarships program liaison said. “However the quality of the applications submitted really exceeded prior years’ submissions.” Qualifying to be considered for selection for one of the scholarship grants is straightforward. Requirements include completing the application; submission of the student’s official transcript indicating a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale for high school applicants, or college transcript See DeCA on page 2

submerged aquatic vegetation habitat at these three sites. Living shorelines address erosion by providing long-term protection, reducing wave energy and restoring vegetated shoreline habitats through strategic placement of plants, rock and oyster reefs. Living shorelines also stabilize sediment, improve water quality, and enhance habitats for oysters, fish, shrimp, crabs, birds, sea turtles and other species. To take the survey, go to the Escambia County website at https://myescambia.com/our-services/naturalresources-management/shoreline-project-questionnaire.

Four minutes to better VOLED: Navy College Program launches new survey By Ed Barker Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) Public Affairs

The Navy College Program (NCP) announced a new, more efficient customer service opinion survey July 24 as part of the continuing improvement process for Voluntary Education (VOLED). “The survey asks for Sailors’ opinions about the Navy College Program’s education support, counseling services, information, and admin,” Don Squibb, Navy VOLED assessments program manager said. “We’re seeking feedback on their experience so we can adjust and improve our service.” According to Squibb, the new survey asks only 10 questions, and the average Sailor completes their input in just over four minutes. “The surveys are the primary channel we have to gather customer input on how we’re doing, and we use the fleet feedback to refine the service delivery of the Navy College Virtual Education Center,” he said. “By shortening the survey, we hope to increase participation while retaining key information. One Sailor that participated in both the longer and shorter NCP surveys is AW1

Brad Powell, instructor at the Naval Air Technical Training Center. “The new Navy College Program survey gets right to the point and only took a couple of minutes to get my opinions,” Powell said. “I can tell that the Navy

College folks value my time and are genuinely interested in improving the VOLED experience.” Navy VOLED Director Ernest D’Antonio noted that constant process improvement is key to serving Sailor’s educational needs. “Over the past two years, we’ve made significant improvements to the Navy College Program’s customer service, and much of that was based on Sailor input,” D’Antonio said. “We’ve completely revamped the Navy College Program web-

site, added customer-friendly improvements such as our mobile application, automated WebTA processing, chat and trouble-ticket features, made self-service improvements in My Education and to NCP internal processes to ensure we are meeting Sailor’s high expectations in keeping with CNP’s transformation guidance. Any Sailor, CONUS or OCONUS, can use the survey link to provide feedback.” One measure of NCP success that has been identified by the customer satisfaction surveys is the number of times a Sailor has to contact the Navy College Virtual Education Center (NCVEC) in order to solve a problem. “According to our latest survey feedback, 80 percent of Sailors are able to resolve their issue with their first call to the NCVEC,” Squibb said. “That’s not perfect, but it’s a great indication that we’re moving in the right direction.” The link to the new NCP customer service opinion survey is https://www.research.net/r/NCVEC_CSAT_SURV_V2. Squibb also emphasized that fleet survey responses are anonymous and their identification will not be shared. “The way this program works, combined with the way I send out the invi-

Nichols The Gosport nameplate pays homage to the 100th anniversary of naval aviation in 2011: the Centennial of Naval Aviation, or CONA. The image on the left side of the nameplate depicts Eugene Ely taking off in a Curtiss pusher bi-plane from the USS Pennsylvania Jan. 18, 1911. While Ely had taken off from the USS Birmingham two months earlier after his plane had been loaded on the ship, the USS Pennsylvania event was the first time a plane landed on and then took off from a U.S. warship. The image on the right side is one of the

Navy’s most modern fighter aircraft, the F/A18 Super Hornet. Established in 1921 as the Air Station News, the name Gosport was adopted in 1936. A gosport was a voice tube used by flight instructors in the early days of naval aviation to give instructions and directions to their students. The name “Gosport” was derived from Gosport, England (originally God’s Port), where the voice tube was invented.

Navy’s first female admiral Alene Duerk passes away From Naval History and Heritage Command Communication and Outreach Division WASHINGTON (NNS) – Retired Rear Adm. Alene B. Duerk, the Navy’s first female admiral, passed away July 21. She was 98 years old. “It took 197 years and a forward-looking Chief of Naval Operations Elmo Zumwalt to break with tradition before Alene Duerk became the first woman admiral in the U.S. Navy,” Naval History and Heritage Command director Sam Cox said. “But the credit goes to Duerk. From the crucible of caring for wounded Sailors, Marines and prisoners of war during World War II in the Pacific, she blazed a trail of stellar performance in tough jobs, serving as an inspiration for an ever increasing number of women officers who have followed her path.” Born in Defiance, Ohio, March 29, 1920, she received nursing training at the Toledo (Ohio) Hospital School of Nursing, from which she earned her diploma in 1941. From there, Duerk entered the U.S. Naval Reserve and was appointed an ensign in the Nurse Corps. “Alene Duerk was a strong and dedicated trail

blazer who embodied the very principles that continue to guide Navy Medicine today,” Vice Adm. Forrest Faison, Navy surgeon general, said upon learning of her passing. “She will forever be remembered as a servant leader who provided the best care to those who defended our nation, honoring the uniform we wear and the privilege of leadership.” Her first tours of duty included ward nurse at Naval Hospital Portsmouth in Virginia, Naval Hospital Bethesda in Maryland and sea service aboard the Navy hospital ship USS Benevolence (AH 13) in 1945. While anchored off the coast of Eniwetok, Duerk and the crew of the Benevolence would attend to the sick and wounded being brought back from the Third Fleet’s operations against Japan. Upon cessation of hostilities Sept. 2, 1945, Duerk and the Benevolence crew took on the task of repatriating liberated Allied prisoners of war, an endeavor that solidified her commitment to nursing and patient care. Years later, when asked about her service for the Library of Congress’ Veteran’s History Project, Duerk said, “The time I was aboard the hospital ship

An undated official portrait of Rear Adm. Alene B. Duerk. Duerk entered the Navy in January 1943 and initially served as a ward nurse at the Portsmouth and Bethesda naval hospitals. She was later assigned to the hospital ship USS Benevolence (AH 13) and deployed to the Pacific Theater during World War II in support of Adm. William Halsey’s Third Fleet. In May 1970, Duerk was appointed director of the Navy Nurse Corps. She became the first woman to attain flag rank in the U.S. Navy June 1, 1972.

and we took the prisoners of war, that was something I will never forget ... that was the most exciting experience of my whole career.” Thereafter, Duerk was assigned to Naval Hospital Great Lakes until being released from active service in 1946. In 1951, Duerk returned to active duty serving as a nursing instructor at the Naval Hospital Corps School in Portsmouth, Va. and later as inter-service education coordinator at

the Naval Hospital Philadelphia, Penn. Her skills in ward management, surgical nursing and mentoring would be put to use over the next two decades while serving at hospitals in San Diego; Yokosuka, Japan; at the Recruiting Station in Chicago and in Washington D.C. In May 1970, following assignments as assistant for Nurse Recruitment in the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) and

assistant head of Medical Placement Liaison (Nurse Corps) at the Bureau of Naval Personnel, Duerk was appointed director of the Navy Nurse Corps. Over the next five years, Duerk provided direction for the Nurse Corps, updating policies affecting Navy Medicine and expanding the sphere of nursing into ambulatory care, anesthesia, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology. Her selection to the rank of rear admiral was approved by President Richard Nixon April 26, 1972. The first woman to be selected for flag rank, she was advanced June 1, 1972. Rear Adm. Duerk retired in 1975, but remained a strong advocate for Navy nursing through the remainder of her life. Duerk was awarded the Naval Reserve Medal, American Campaign Medal; Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with bronze star; World War II Victory Medal; Navy Occupation Service Medal, Asia Clasp and the National Defense Service Medal with bronze star. Duerk’s biography offers greater insight into her service, it can be found online at the website of the Naval History and Heritage Command at www.history.

CNO strengthens partnerships at Inter-American Naval Conference From Chief of Naval Operations Public Affairs Communication

ARTEGENA, Colombia (NNS) – Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. John Richardson attended the 28th InterAmerican Naval Conference (IANC), July 25 through 26, in Cartagena, Colombia, and delivered remarks highlighting the U.S. Navy’s commitment to its naval partnerships in the region.

“This forum, first initiated in 1959, has been critical to strengthening the bonds of partnership, collaboration, and friendship that define us – both as fellow naval professionals and as neighbors,” Richardson said. IANC provides a forum for the interchange of ideas, knowledge and mutual understanding of maritime challenges that affect the Western Hemisphere. The theme of this year’s IANC is countering drug trafficking and representatives from 18 navies attended the event to include the navies of Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama,

Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. The conference is one part of CNO’s multi-day trip to South America to strengthen partnerships and seek more opportunities for combined operations. “We have worked alongside the nations of this continent to build, refine, maintain and execute a broad spectrum of capabilities – from law enforcement to high-end antisubmarine warfare, and everything in between,” Richardson said. “Our work together, here and in oceans far away, demonstrates that we are ready to sail into any waters, face any challenges, and emerge victorious together.” Richardson met individually with his counterpart heads of

navy from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru to discuss deepening their naval partnerships with the U.S. toward a common goal of a maritime environment that is secure, orderly and prosperous for all nations. “We are all Americans here; however, we are bound by more than simply our shared geography,” Richardson said. “We share inter-American values and a commitment to

regional and global institutions that are designed to confront common security challenges. That we are here together is no coincidence. While militaryto-military-relationships are important, I believe Navy-toNavy partnerships are the ‘first among equals.’ These Navy relationships are so natural because we share backgrounds, cultures, knowledge and a love and respect for the sea and what it can provide.” While in Colombia, Rich-

ardson attended the 50th anniversary of the three-masted barque ARC Gloria, the official flagship of the Colombian Navy, July 25. He also visited the crew of the USCG Hamilton and praised the U.S. Coast Guardsmen for their part in seizing and offloading more than seven tons of illegal cocaine in February. CNO will meet next with South American naval partners during planned engagements in Chile, Argentina and Brazil.

U.S., Egypt commence Exercise Eagle Response 18 From U.S. Naval Forces Central Command Public Affairs

RED SEA NAVAL BASE, Egypt (NNS) – The U.S. Navy with the Egyptian Naval Forces commenced exercise Eagle Response 18 at the Red Sea Naval Base, Egypt, July 24. Eagle Response 18 is an explosive ordnance disposal and diving exercise conducted with the Egyptian Naval Force and other participating nations to enhance interoperability and warfighting readiness, fortify military-to-military relationships and advance operational capabilities of all participating units. “We are fortunate to have this opportunity to build strong relationships to strengthen our maritime security capabilities,” Lt. John James, the U.S. Navy on-scene commander for the exercise said. “Training opportunities like these give our Sailors the unique chance to learn from different nations and show them what we can do.” The U.S. Sailors represent Task Force 52, U.S. 5th Fleet’s mine warfare task

force. The U.S. delegation is part of Task Group 52.3, and includes deployed Sailors from Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 6; Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit 2, Company 25 and the Naval Oceanography Mine Warfare Center.

The exercise began with a welcoming brief, classroom trainings and decompression chamber familiarization. “It was great seeing a variety of nations compare their personal experiences with decompression training

from a medical perspective,” HMC Eli Hernandez, who lead the hands-on decompression training said. “Diving is one of the most hazardous evolutions a human can do, and it’s important we share our experiences and learn from each other to improve safety across the board.” Scheduled events include underwater detonation drills, unmanned underwater vehicle operations and antiterrorism/force protection dives. The exercise is part of Eagle Salute 18, a surface exercise, to provide opportunities for participating nations to collaborate on an even wider range of maritime security operations. U.S. Naval Forces Central Command conducts more than 20 bilateral and multilateral exercises with partner nations throughout the region each year. Exercise Eagle Response is one of numerous exercises vital to the U.S. Navy’s theater security cooperation efforts in building and enhancing solid regional and international relationships.

Naval Hospital Pensacola Sailor strikes a nerve Story, photo By Jason Bortz Naval Hospital Pensacola

M2 Melissa Clayton, an electroneurodiagnostic technician at Naval Hospital Pensacola (NHP), recently became the only registered nerve conduction study technologist in the Navy. The Uniontown, Ohio, native can now test the nerves of patients to see how efficiently their nerves transmit and receive signals from their spinal cord. Clayton originally joined the Navy in 2012 to help achieve her goal of completing medical school. While attending the Navy’s school for electroneurodiagnostic technicians at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, Clayton was exposed to only one day of nerve conduction training during the six month course. That one day struck a nerve with Clayton. “When I arrived at Naval Hospital Pensacola, we were not doing nerve conduction studies on patients,” Clayton said. “I found an old nerve conduction machine and started teaching myself how to use it.” Nerve conduction studies evaluate the function of the motor and sensory nerves of the human body. Some of the common symptoms that a nerve conduction study would be used for include numbness of extremities, signs of carpal tunnel and nerve issues from the spinal cord.

To complete her registry with the American Association of Electrodiagnostic Technologists, Clayton had to have at least an associate degree in neurodiagnostic technology or an equivalent program and over 300 patient studies. Clayton earned her associate degree and began compiling patient studies with the help of Lt. Joseph Cahill, neurologist at NHP. To pay for the exam fees, Clayton used Navy COOL. Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (COOL) helps Navy service members find information on certification and licenses related to their jobs. Navy COOL also has a voucher program that will pay for eligible credentialing exams, recertification fees and maintenance fees. “It was a lot of work, but it was really interesting and I had a lot of fun learning about nerve conduction,” Clayton said. “Lieutenant Cahill really helped me a lot too. He spent time during his lunch or after work helping me; I couldn’t have completed this without him.”

HM2 Melissa Clayton, an electroneurodiagnostic technician at Naval Hospital Pensacola, performs a nerve conduction study on a patient July 18. Clayton recently became the only registered nerve conduction study technologist in the Navy.

Clayton now sees 10 to 12 patients a week at the Neurology Clinic at NHP that previously had to be referred to a civilian network provider. Each of her studies last about two hours and include an appointment with Cahill. “Our patients enjoy getting their care here at NHP,” Clayton said. “I’m glad I was able to complete this registry and provide this service to them.” Clayton is also the enlisted technical leader for the 22 electroneurodiagnostic technicians in the Navy. She is currently working with the school command at Fort Sam Houston to increase the nerve conduction training students initially receive. She hopes the additional training will lead to more registered nerve conduction study technologist in the Navy. “She is amazing Sailor and corpsman,” Lt. Jessica Howell, division officer for specialty clinics at NHP, said. “We are very fortunate to have her at

this command, and I know she will continue to do great things throughout her career.” Clayton is still pursuing her goal of attending medical school, but for now she is focused on conducting nerve conduction studies for patients at NHP. “I still want to attend medical school,” Clayton said. “But for now I’m just giving my full attention to the patients I see and trying my best to help them.” Naval Hospital Pensacola is in its second century of service and is one of the oldest and most respected military medical facilities in the country. It continues to provide health care to more than 150,000 beneficiaries in its main facility, located near Naval Air Station Pensacola, and 10 branch clinics in five states.

NASWF MWR program awarded highest accreditation By NAS Whiting Field MWR

hen it comes to helping personnel relax, unwind and play, NAS Whiting Field Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) is a five-star, accredited program. The Commander Navy Installation Command (CNIC) recently awarded the base’s MWR program a five-star accreditation, the highest ranking possible, during an inspection May 25. Each MWR program on a Navy base is judged on the quality of personnel, facilities, programming, equipment and administration. The types of ratings allotted to base MWR programs are five-star, accredited, or not accredited. Of 65 Navy installations rated this year, there are 21 five-star, 39 that are accredited and five that are not accredited. “You have to go above and beyond to be recognized as a five-star program,” NASWF MWR Director Tom Kubalewski said. “I am extremely proud of the work the MWR team does every day taking care of our Sailors,” NAS Whiting Field Commanding Officer Capt. Paul Bowdich said. “As a benefactor of many of the MWR activities and offerings, I can say this is one of the best installation MWR programs I’ve seen. I offer my congratulations to the entire MWR team.”

The CNIC MWR accreditation process began in 2010 and each year, directors throughout the enterprise describe whether they met or did not meet various professional program standards through an on-line database. The accreditation program determines compliance with Navy developed program standards, financial performance, program delivery, staff knowledge, employee development, customer satisfaction, and facility management.

All MWR programs are involved in the accreditation process, excluding Child and Youth Programs (CYP), which have their own accreditation program. Once information is entered into the database, a pre-visit score is provided.

Photo by Lenny Nordmann, MWR Marketing Then, every three years, an independent accreditation team from CNIC visits the installation to validate their scores on program standards. At NAS Whiting Field, MWR provides a multitude of recreation programs and facilities to include a stateof-the-art fitness and aquatics center, a community recreation and single-sailor program, the Whiting Park outdoor recreation area, and the Navy’s first bookstore library concept, the Tower Books and Café, featuring a Starbucks coffee shop. Some MWR programs receive appropriated funds because they are designated as essential to military missions, but others are selfsufficient and must generate their own revenue to keep running, such as the food

and beverage facilities and the RV Park. During their visit, the accreditation team noted the large size of the fitness center. They stated not many installations are lucky to have this size facility, affording greater space for workouts. Other areas the CNIC team commended were the recently opened Tower Books and Café, and how the bookstore concept

meets the needs of families and singles by bringing the coffee shop flair into the program. Whiting Park was also noted as an outstanding facility that not only offers programs and services to families and singles, but a great place for commands to host picnic and outdoor events. In addition, the team noted during their visit that it is apparent the entire MWR

and CYP team works together and communicates to develop services and programs for our community members. “It feels great,” Kubalewski said of the rating. “To receive this rating means two things – it means that the team is professional and dedicated, and it means that each of them is doing everything possible to bring quality services and programs to our active-duty members, their families, to our retirees and their families and to the civilian employees who work onboard the installation. “Bottom line – with or without the award – it is great to know that we have a team that is committed to NASWF’s 2017 Travel Expo had dozens of vendors. taking care of our commuPhoto by Lenny Nordmann, MWR Marketing nity,” he concluded.

IWTC Corry Station Sailor meritoriously promoted Courtesy story Center for Information Warfare Training

nformation Warfare Training Command (IWTC) NAS Pensacola Corry Station promoted IT2 Indigo S. Hart to first class petty officer through the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) July 9. According to the Navy Personnel Command website, MAP is designed to recognize superior performance and authorizes commanding officers to advance the best and most deserving E-3 through E-5 Sailors to the next higher pay grade. A strong MAP application includes community involvement, advanced education, collateral duties, command involvement and other vital performance indicators. Hart has a history of excellent performance. She was selected as IWTC Corry Station’s 2017 Junior Sailor of the Year, Junior Instructor of the Year, is currently the Joint Cyber Course supervisor and certified as a Master Training Specialist. As the IT “A” School Microsoft Certified Professional (Windows 7) leading petty officer and course supervisor resulting in a 92 percent grade point average with zero academic attrition, her efforts were critical in delivering highly capable technicians to the fleet potentially safeguarding hundreds of Department of Defense warfight-

ing networks afloat and ashore. She has served as a command career counselor and has been active in the morale, welfare and recreation committee, holiday party committee and petty officer association secretary. Her community service hours are very diverse and spread to multiple organizations around the Pensacola community. “I actually found out because my friends sent me pictures of the Fleet Training Management and Planning System showing that I had picked it up,” Hart said. “I was still very special to me to have the executive officer, command master chief, and my friends all at the presentation.” “IT2 Hart is my number one second class petty officer at my command,” IWTC Corry Station’s Commanding Officer Cmdr. Chad Smith said. “She is a phenomenal leader and professional who operates well above her paygrade. Her investment in the mission and Sailors has made a tremendous impact and exceeds all expectations every time. A model Sailor in all regards, her work ethic sets

an example for all too emulate. There is no finer candidate for the Meritorious Advancement Program.” According to Hart, the MAP program was not her motivation to succeed. “I didn’t have the mindset that I needed to work hard in order to get MAP,” Hart added. “I had the mindset to do the best that I could every day and give to this

command everything I have. I never expect to get rewarded or recognized for my everyday work. I come to work to give and not get back. There is a mindset that some people have that you need to step over other people to succeed in the military but it really takes a team. My department, triad and command really make me feel like they truly care about my success. Be-

ing awarded MAP by the triad in front of my command meant a great deal to me.” The Navy introduced MAP in July 2015, replacing the Navy’s Command Advancement Program. Meritorious promotion is part of the Navy’s ongoing talent management initiatives used to empower the command triad to advance their top-performing Sailors, advancing them when they are ready for the next level of responsibility. Navy retention and advancement policies are aimed at ensuring the best-qualified, highest-performing Sailors are promoted and retained. The MAP program supplements traditional advancement via exams to ensure that occurs, and to empower command leadership to personally identify those who are immediately ready for promotion. What advice does Hart give to other Sailors? “Find your motivation to be the best possible you,” Hart said. “For me it is a picture of my son in my planner. When I get overwhelmed I look at that. I felt that my department wanted me to succeed and they believed in me. They are invested in my career and success. This really helped me to believe in myself. There is a mindset that some people have that you need to step over other people to succeed in the military. My department, triad and command really make me feel like they truly care about my success.” For more from Center for Information Warfare Training, visit www.navy.mil/local/cid.

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.

Boats line up for annual race From Navy Yacht Club Pensacola Commodore’s Cup Regatta Race No.2 Anniversary Regatta, part of the Navy Yacht Club’s 87th anniversary celebration and the Pensacola Bay Championship Series Race No.5 will take place Aug. 11. Historic anniversaries are held to commemorate special and significant events in our lifetime. On April 12, 1931 the Navy Yacht Club of Pensacola (NYCP) was established onboard the Naval Air Station Pensacola (NASP). This year the club will celebrate their 87th anniversary and one of the best ways for the club to recognize this historic event is to host a sailboat race out on the waters of Pensacola Bay. Not only will the Navy Yacht Club and its members be celebrating their 87 years of existence but also look forward to being participants in the newly established Pensacola Bay Championship Series – a community effort to encourage more participation not only from the local yacht clubs in our area but to invite and support community athletes from the northern Gulf Coast district. Race registration for the

NYCP 87th anniversary Regatta, Commodore’s Cup Race No.2, Bay Championship Race No.5 is available via the Regatta Network and is mandatory. Registration and race information packages for the Commodore’s Cup Series can be obtained from the Navy Yacht Club through their website at www.navypnsyc.org. Registration will also be open at the Crow’s Nest at Bayou Grande Marina Aug. 11 starting at 9:30 a.m. Computer access to the Regatta Network will also be available for use for registration. Online race registration can be made via the Regatta Network at www.regattanetwork.com/html/calendar. php (scroll down to the date of the event to find the link to the registration form). The notice of race (NoR) is available on the Regatta Network website and on NYCP’s web site. Regatta entry fee is $35 with U.S. Sailing membership and $40 for nonmember racing participants. Spectators and anyone who is interested in the racing event is invited to the Navy Yacht Club facility, which is located onboard NASP. The skipper’s briefing for the

race competitors will be held at 10 a.m. Aug. 11. For those who cannot attend the meeting, all pertinent information will be passed along on VHF radio channel 72 at 11:45 a.m. Race registration for spinnaker, nonspinnaker and cruising classes will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. and the race start is scheduled for noon. Following the race, the participants and guests are invited to anchor their boats back at the Navy Yacht Club facility at the Bayou Grande Marina and enjoy the post race festivities which includes the winner’s award ceremony to be held at approximately 5 p.m. Aug. 12 will be reserved as a make-up day if required. The Commodore’s Cup is one of four races held on Pensacola Bay throughout the year and count towards earning the Overall Commodore’s Cup Series Trophy for each class which will be presented at the Commodore’s Ball held at the end of the year. The next Commodore’s Cup Race is scheduled for Sept. 15th and will be counted in the Pensacola Bay Championship as Race No.10.
