The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has designated tramadol (Ultram®) as a schedule IV controlled substance. Beginning Aug. 18, new restrictions will apply to tramadol prescriptions. Medications are designated as controlled substances based on their relative abuse potential and the likelihood of causing dependence when abused. Tramadol is a medication used for pain.

What this means to beneficiaries:

• Prescribers and pharmacies will follow all applicable state and federal requirements for controlled substances when tramadol is prescribed.

• Tramadol prescription will only be valid for six months from the date written.

This includes any prescriptions written before Aug. 18. Previously, prescriptions for tramadol were valid for one year.

• Refills remaining on prescriptions will not be valid if the prescription is older than six months or if the prescription has already been refilled five times.

There’s nothing like a good ‘old’ summer vacation

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist

I

don’t “need a vacation from my vacation,” but after two weeks in a beach cottage with my extended family I could really use microdermabrasion, arthroscopic knee surgery, a colonic and a full course of psychotherapy.

Vacations just are not the same when you get older.

When I was a teenager, I came home from my family’s beach vacations with nothing more than a peeling nose and maybe a few deck splinters.

But now that I am in my 40s, simple vacation activities such as sunbathing, swimming and paddleball leave me in need of urgent medical attention.

My family and I left the safe little confines of our military base housing for two weeks, and drove the 12-hour trek down the East Coast to the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Just like every year, our family of five, along with my mother, my brother and his family of five, packed ourselves like lemmings into our

How to submit a commentary

modest 1970s beach cottage.

At the beginning of the vacation, the adults envisioned getting up with the sun every morning to jog along the bike path, where other vacationers could see how disciplined we are.

As planned, I got up early the first morning, and picked a jogging outfit from the stack of work out clothes I had ambitiously packed for the trip.

Of course, I had to have coffee before setting out, but not enough to awaken my digestive tract. Then, I announced loud enough for everyone to hear, “I’m going on a run,” and let the screened door slam behind me to ensure that anyone within earshot would be impressed that I’m one of those

About 20 minutes later, I was only about a mile from our cottage, soaked in sweat and frantic that my bladder might give way. Thankfully,

a port-a-potty at a tiny public park saved me the humiliation of ducking into someone’s shrubbery.

I slowly stumbled back through the dunes to our cottage, picking up the pace to a jog only when passing witnesses.

I was happy to see four blisters on my feet when I got home, because I knew they would serve as an adequate excuse to not run again during our vacation.

Later that week while lounging on the beach, the adult women did a sort of reenactment of the QuintHooper-Brody-drunken-scarcomparison scene in “Jaws” when we took turns pointing out our liver spots, barnacles and moles.

Despite our rational conclusion that sitting out in the sun would only age our skin faster, we all agreed with the old adage that “tan fat is better than white fat,” so we stayed out late into the afternoon.

Sometime at the end of week one, I made the mistake of agreeing to play beach volleyball. Soon after taking my position as right side hitter, I was forced to jump four inches off the sand to block a

shot. This simple move caused my knee to slightly hyperextend.

For the remainder of the vacation, while engaging in simple activities such as paddle ball and wading in the ocean, I was on alert that my weakened knee might buckle backward like some kind of old Barbie doll.

The other adults in our family suffered similar oldage vacation injuries, while our children frolicked carefree.

By the end of week two we had collectively accumulated one wobbly knee, five ugly blisters, a swollen wrist, a strained achilles, three bruises of unknown origin and four cases of heartburn.

The anti-inflammatories and antacids were being doled out like candy, along with some embarrassing over-thecounter remedies to deal with digestive backup from all the overeating.

Even though we do not experience vacations the same way we did when we were young, perhaps the benefit of being so weathered, worn and weary after two weeks at the beach is that it is actually a relief to get back to life’s daily grind.

A flag for the future USS America

By Lt. Jonathan Bacon NATTC PAO

A

retired fourth grade teacher visited NAS Pensacola’s Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) Aug. 1 with a special flag he is taking around the country.

“How will you live your life?

What will you do with the liberty you have been given? How will you pursue happiness?”

These were the questions Larry Ross, a teacher from Canaan, Maine, posed as he pulled a black accordion folder and an American flag out of his backpack. Ross has been taking this flag around the country and using it to teach young people about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. NAS Pensacola was one stop on this journey, which will end in San Francisco Oct.11 at the commissioning ceremony for the future USS America (LHA 6).

The flag itself is an ordinary national ensign, but Ross is taking it around the United States to create what he calls “teachable moments” in the lives of young people. He describes the flag as a symbol of the many service men and women who have sacrificed their lives for their country. He then tells the life stories of servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice.

During the Pensacola stop, the presentation was given to a group of service members, rep-

resenting commands from across NASP including the Naval Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels; Marine Aviation Training Support Group 21 (MATSG-21); Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) and NATTC. As part of his presentation, he told the stories of five Sailors and Marines who lost their lives during service to their country.

They all had a different story of why they joined, where they were from and how they became an American hero we should all remember. They all demonstrated their commitment to living positive lives and exemplifying life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Ross has stories of Sailors and Marines from across the United States in all 50 states and each has a story that he uses to help teach young people about the sacrifices they made and how it has impacted their families today.

Ross wrapped his presentation up posing the questions “how do you use your life, and liberty? And how will you pursue happiness?” He passed out a card with the seal of the future

USS America on one side and a pledge to consider on the other.

The pledge, built out of the examples he shared, was to “protect my life and the lives of others, to use my liberty for good and to help others do the same, and to pursue my happiness.” Those who were interested could make the pledge, sign the card, and the signed cards would be presented with the flag to the crew of the USS America at the ship’s commissioning.

Ross will continue his flag tour throughout the summer, with stops in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, La., as he heads across the country.

Since 1942, NATTC has

been committed to delivering training and increasing readiness within the Naval Aviation Enterprise. NATTC graduates approximately 15,000 Navy and Marine students annually. The majority of the student population is made up of enlisted personnel attending “A” schools, where they are learning the skills and knowledge required to perform as apprentice level technicians in the fleet. The center also provides airman apprenticeship training, personal financial management, and shipboard aircraft firefighting training. Advanced schools provide higher level technical knowledge for senior petty officers, and technical training for

officers in aviation fuels, carrier air traffic control center operations, amphibious air traffic control center operations, aircraft launch and recovery equipment, and shipboard aircraft fire fighting.

Additionally, NATTC supports the fleet by providing team training to ships personnel during their pre-deployment workups, to ensure that shipboard personnel have the proficiency required to take their ship on deployment, after a prolonged period in port.

NASWF names Sailors of the Quarter

By Lt.j.g. Brett Resue NASWF PAO

N

aval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) recently announced its Sailors of the Quarter (SoQ) for the third quarter fiscal year 2014. This awards program is designed to give recognition to the top performing Sailors at various levels of enlisted service.

The SoQ is the top performing first class petty officer. The Junior Sailor of the Quarter (JSoQ) is the best performing second class petty officer.

Lastly, the Blue Jacket of the Quarter (BJoQ) is the most impressive Sailor in the junior ranks.

AC1 Dennisha Jones, AB2 Adam Harless and AC3 Darren Williams have been respectively recognized as the SoQ, JSoQ and BJoQ. These Sailors are being recognized for outstanding performance while on duty and through their involvement within the community.

Jones is currently serving as facility watch supervisor for NASWF. In addition, Jones is the Sexual Assault Prevention and

Response (SAPR) point of contact as well as a SAPR victim advocate (VA), and the divisional Enterprise Safety Applications Management System (ESAMS) supervisor.

These duties have allowed for 16,000 flight operations and 11,000 flight plans and flight information messages in support of Training Air Wing Five mission readiness. She has also provided mandatory training to 76 Sailors in support of the Navy’s goal to raise awareness and prevent sexual assault.

Jones’ department head, Robert Asmus, said, “Petty Officer Jones’ superior performance and initiative distinguishes her from her peers. She is an enthusiastic leader and exhibits the finest qualities of

leadership, personal growth and versatility.”

Harless is a departmental supply petty officer, minor property custodian and HazMat coordinator.

He is responsible for the management, logistics, inventory and procurement of supplies in support of nine active Naval Outlying Landing Fields, totaling $480,109.63.

Additionally, he is an active member of the NAS Whiting Field’s color guard team and has performed at two change of command ceremonies, one retirement ceremony and the city of Milton Memorial Day ceremony. As an ARFF chief, he trained, supervised and managed three ARFF crewmembers in all aspects of aircraft firefighting and

AC1 Dennisha Jones

rescue procedures to support Training Air Wing Five and Six, the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) and other aircraft operations.

Lt. Kenyatto Mayes, crash officer, praised Harless’ superior performance in his nomination statement by saying, “Petty Officer Harless is an exceptional deckplate leader and technical expert. He is without a doubt, my No. 1 nominee for Junior Sailor of the Quarter.”

AC3 Darren Williams is a very involved junior Sailor. His present duties are Naval Outlying Landing Field Choctaw facility watch supervisor, local controller, and training petty officer. He is also the mail petty officer. As facility watch supervisor,

AB2 Adam Harless

a position normally held by first class petty officer, he was responsible for the safe and expeditious handling of 8,370 T-6 and JSF aircraft operations at NOLF Choctaw. As the training petty officer for six air traffic controllers and oversaw and coordinated the crew’s weekly training plan, consisting of professional and general military training lessons and on-the-job training of air controllers.

Additionally, he dedicated 36 hours serving as the junior enlisted association’s master-at-arms. In this position, he fostered unit cohesion and helped maintain good order and discipline during three association events.

Robert Asmus, operations department head,

AC3 Darren Williams

said, “AC3 Williams is a top-notch Sailor who exemplifies the highest standards in military bearing and personal appearance. His unwavering dedication to the Navy’s core values has set the highest standards for juniors and peers to follow.”

“It’s always difficult to select Sailors of the Quarter from the terrific pool of quality Sailors we have at NAS Whiting Field,” NAS Whiting Field Executive Officer Cmdr.

Greggory Gray said.

“These three Sailors were truly outstanding, and I am impressed with their professionalism and dedication. Congratulations to those selected and to all the other candidates recommended for the award this quarter.”

PRACTICE AREAS Divorce Alimony

Child Support Military Divorce Criminal Defense DUI

Military Divorce Active Duty or Retired

We are located near Corry Station and NAS Pensacola. As a result, for 30 years we have handled problems that are unique to active duty and retired military service members.

We are able to handle most issues where Florida has jurisdiction, which may include Initial Divorce proceedings, Spousal Support, Child Support, Modification, Visitation or Custody issues Contempt, Email or Teleconferencing. In cases of deployment, regarding court appearances, many occasions relevant to these issues (pursuant to the other sides agreement when necessary), you can testify by telephone and never have to physically be in Florida for the proceeding.

Set forth below are a few of the issues that you may question regarding, whether you are active

duty, retired or the spouse of active duty or retire military.

Child Support In calculating Child Support, in addition to your regular or retirement pay, the following pay is included: 1. Housing Allowance 2. Sea or Flight Pay 3. Retirement Pay 4. Social Security 5. V.A. Benefits (Yes, despite what others have told you, VA pay is included in child support calculations. Some of you will argue this point. Make an appointment and I will show you why it is included).

You will still be governed by the child support requirements under the general Divorce/Child Support for the state of Florida. FYI: Based on the child support formula, it is almost always cheaper, if possible, to use day care.

The Law Firm of Steven W. Bowden 4502 Twin Oaks Drive Pensacola, FL 32506 Phone: (850) 456-5779 E-mail: sbowdenlaw@gmail.com For more information about Steven Bowden’s areas of practice, go to http:// pensacola-lawyer.com

A major problem which can affect both the payor and recipient of child support is when the support should begin. If you are involved in the initial Divorce proceeding the payor’s obligation begins, at the minimum, when the divorce is filed and/or you no longer live together with the child/children. The separation date may predate the filing of the divorce petition. You need an attorney’s advice to ascertain your obligation. If you wait until the final hearing, you may have to pay ongoing child support plus a court ordered amount each month to satisfy an arrearage plus interest.

If you are active duty military, the JAG manual (navy page) will specify what you must pay to continue to support your family until further court order. A temporary hearing could reduce the amount of child support that you have been direct to may pay military orders or rules.

If you are the spouse of an active duty military member, reservist or retiree, see Spouse/Military or

call for an appointment regarding the questions you may have.

Retirement Alimony/Spousal Support In Florida, military retirement funds are an asset which is treated differently than other income related to Alimony/Spousal Support. The spouse of retired military personnel receives a pro rata share of the retirement funds. If the spouse remarries, the awarded share is still paid. If the military retiree dies, and an SBP is elected, it is still paid. You must make sure your lawyer uses the correct formula in order to establish the amount owed. DFAS has particular guidelines that must be met in order to accomplish the correct payment of spousal support.

Avoid a thirsty fate ...

Hydrate!

By MC3 Jeffrey Madlangbayan USS George H.W. Bush

• 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.”

From 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 life style,” 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.

Navy’s international training command selects CoQ

By Lt. Cmdr. Shelline Floyd Naval Education and Training Security Assistance Field Activity PAO

O

fficials at the Naval Education and Training Security Assistance Field Activity (NETSAFA) announced July 30 their selection of Ruthanna Marie Brown as Civilian of the Quarter (CoQ) for the third quarter of 2014.

“It is an honor to work at NETSAFA,” said Brown. “I came to NETSAFA almost 20 years ago to work as an administrative assistant, and through hard work and perseverance I have been given the opportunity to excel and achieve my dream of becoming an (international) country program manager.

NETSAFA is a great organization and I feel it’s a privilege to work with such a caring and professional workforce.”

Brown is a foreign military assistance specialist for the African Command (AfriCom) Division in NETSAFA. She manages 23 countries, but during this quarter her workload was temporarily increased to 53 countries. She also serves as the backup supervisor for the division when needed.

“Marie’s accomplishments this quarter are over-and-above the requirements of her position,” said Susan Busch, NETSAFA’s AfriCom supervisor. “She is very

concerned with the quality of training the international students receive, so she takes it upon herself to find training to suit their specific needs.”

According to Busch, Brown was instrumental in establishing a special convening of the Professional Military Education (PME) preparation course. This special course, taught in coordination with Defense Language Institute English Language Center (DLIELC), allows for followon training with the Naval Command College (NCC) and Naval Staff College (NSC). The nine-week course emphasizes the development of English language skills for international military students who will attend PME courses with their American counterparts.

Busch also added that as a result of the success of this class, DLI has agreed to schedule the course again in future years, resulting in a win-win for allies,

DLI and the Naval War College (NWC). Additionally, Brown is working closely with the U.S. Coast Guard, Navy Dive School

Ruthanna Marie Brown

and NETSAFA International Training Command (NITC) to increase international student throughput.

“Marie is a dedicated employee who truly takes supporting the mission of NETSAFA to heart,” said Dave Babcock,

NETSAFA operations department head. “During this quarter, her performance is distinguished by the manner in which she has demonstrated efforts beyond her ‘own desk,’ so to speak.”

Brown's hard work and determination was also reflected in her off-duty hours. She enjoys training with her husband and son in Hapkido, a Korean martial art.

NETSAFA is the U.S. Navy’s agent for international education and training. NETSAFA coordinates training support to international governments and international organizations. As a field activity of the Naval Education and Training Command (NETC), the command serves as a focal point for all security assistance training program issues, coordination and advice within the U.S. Navy.

Recovery center shares tips for safeguarding military mail

By Sgt. 1st Class Tyrone C. Marshall Jr. DoD News, Defense Media Activity

ATLANTA (NNS) – Officials at the Mail Recovery Center are hard at work assisting service members in recovering their lost items.

Lionel A. Snow, Mail Recovery Center manager, shared the mission of the U.S. Postal Service’s only remaining mail recovery center.

“We have an operation specifically designated for the military – all military,” he said. “So anything that comes across those belts or comes in our door that’s military affiliated, we take it and put it in our military operation.”

Workers at the center look at the lost mail and separate it, Snow said. “If it’s a duffel bag, we open it up and see if there are any fatigues,” he said. Other

Mail call: There are ways to prevent loss Here are some tips from U.S. Postal Service officials on how to prevent personal items from getting lost in the mail: • Secure labeling on the outside of packaging using tape; • Provide full, accurate mailing addresses and return addresses; • Include identical information inside the package, parcel, bag or trunk in case the mailing label comes off; • Consider including a phone number and e-mail address inside; • Track all mailed items when possible and always confirm receipt; • Include secure tags on all items, especially duffel bags or trunks with military equipment; and • When searching for lost mail, provide accurate, detailed descriptions.

Any service member attempting to locate missing mail should call the Postal Service’s toll-free customer service number – 1 (800) 275-8777 – say they are military and provide a tracking number for the missing item.

clues they look for, he added, include names, follow-on orders, parents’ address and letters home.

The center has handled just short of a million pieces of mail this year, he said,

Your City, Your Magazine

and last year processed 88 million pieces of mail – letters, flats, parcels and loose mail. The staff of almost 100 tries to work quickly, he added, because items are held for only 30 days.

Using the Automated Military Postal System, or AMPS, Snow said, the Mail Recovery Center is able to share data with the military to better facilitate tracking and returning items to the owners.

He also noted that the return rate on returnable mail – items for which the sender or recipient has been located, not the totality of all incoming lost mail – is about 27 to 32 percent.

As the only mail recovery center, the manager said, the facility is unique because it is the only part of the Postal Service that can open mail.

Using “locators” contracted with each military service, officials at the Mail Recovery Center are able to track down troops, said Aleta Montague, acting supervisor for the Mail Recover Center, noting that it is increasingly difficult because of frequent moves.
