Training Wing Six unveils ‘Show Bird’ Story, photos

by Greg Mitchell NAS Pensacola Public Affairs

Artwork comes in many forms. In terms of painting, it is usually done on an art canvas or even as a mural on a wall.

One common form of artwork within the military is presented in the form of “show bird” painting. Commander, Training Air Wing Six (CTW6) recently completed the painting of one of its T-45C G o s h a w k aircraft, in turn naming its very own version command show bird.

“The paint scheme was created as a symbol of the command’s long-storied connection with Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola and the local community,” said Lt.j.g. William Flournoy, CTW-6 collateral duty public affairs officer.

Show bird origins can be

connected to nose art on military aircraft, dating as far back as World War I. Italy and Germany are credited as the first countries to apply such paint schemes, with the United States eventually following suit as well. While World War I nose art was usually embellished or extravagant squadron insignia, true nose art appeared during World War II, which is considered by many obser vers to be the golden age of the genre, with both Axis and Allied pilots taking part.

Entering U.S. naval service in 1992, the McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) T-45 Goshawk is a highly modified version of the British Aerospace (BAE Systems) Hawk land-based training jet aircraft that serves as an aircraft carrier-capable

trainer.

The preparation phase of the aircraft consisted of four months of stripping, sanding, priming and painting, to include weighing to insure the aircraft falls within the proper parameters of safe flight operation. The squadrons’

standard aircraft come with a red and white color scheme.

The show bird is predominately white with bold Navy blue and gold stripes, a “Don’t Tread on Me” logo port and starboard fuselage, a blue tail section that includes the “Don’t Tread on Me” rattlesnake and a

squadron “F” with white stars.

“The aircraft left Pensacola as aircraft 615, but returned as aircraft 600 to signify it will be flown by the commodore,” said Flournoy.

CNATRA hosts production alignment conference From Lt. Michelle Tucker Chief of Naval Air Training

More than 300 personnel from across the Naval Aviation Enterprise met for a semiannual Production Alignment Conference in San Antonio, Aug. 20 to 22.

Hosted by the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA), the three-day conference brought together personnel from Chief of Naval Air Training, fleet replacement squadrons, and Navy Personnel Command to align

training tracks for fixed wing and rotary aircraft to deliver the right number of aviators, naval flight officers, and naval aircrewmen to the fleet at the right time.

Chief of Naval Air Training Rear Adm. Dan Dwyer, who assumed command July 26, addressed the group, challenging them to find innovation at every possible level.

“If there’s a barrier, if we’re doing something that

doesn’t result in a fleet cockpit seat being filled, let’s get after all those issues,” Dwyer said. “I just came from the fleet where I had the privilege to serve alongside great Americans, aviators, naval flight officers, and naval aircrewmen. I got to see them in action each and every day. I want your teams to understand that what they’re doing is incredibly important to naval aviation, and what they’re doing is spot on because the fleet is getting good product.”

NATTC welcomes USS Bonhomme Richard Sailors for two weeks air traffic control training Story, photo

by Ens. Crysta Gonzalez Naval Education and Training Command Public Affairs

Members of the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) air traffic control (ATC) team wrapped up two weeks of simulation training at Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) Aug. 23.

While the amphibious assault ship, homeported in San Diego, is undergoing a drydock planned maintenance availability period, it is being outfitted for the F-35 Lightning II joint strike fighter. The ship’s ATC Sailors are training for the transition.

Lt. Cmdr. Mitch Deshotel and his team come to Pensacola two to three times a year to engage in training while not out at sea.

“Pensacola is a vital place for training,” said Deshotel. “Not only do the controllers come here for ‘A’ school, simulation rooms like these are how the team stays up-to-date on the latest technology.”

ATC and tactical air control

Air Traffic Controller Airman Auston Stanhope participates in a training simulation at Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) as a member of the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) air traffic control (ATC) team. NATTC is part of the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training and graduates approximately 15,000 Navy, Marine Corps and international students annually.

squadron (TACRON) teams, with a range of experience levels, train at NATTC. The simulator training can range from basic to more advanced runs depending on what the team leader requests.

“The scenarios in the simulation are demonstrating amphibious air traffic control and what we could

potentially see when we are out on deployment with an amphibious ready group,” said Deshotel.

NATTC ATC training’s main objective is team building.

The teams are often the same division of about 15 personnel.

Each trip serves to make the members more proficient and cohesive.

The team Deshotel brings is usually the same, attempting to keep the core group of those controllers who have been in the division the longest.

“We also bring anyone who has just recently reported to the ship in our division so we can build that group continuity, where we train just as we would operate as a team on deployment,” said Deshotel.

Air Traffic Controller 1st Class Bridgett Penate, the leading petty officer who has been working with the simulator program for one and a half years at NATTC, talked more on the actual evaluations and examinations the teams go through.

“While the teams are here for training, they get interim qualifications for using the simulators, which helps make up for the time they cannot get out to sea,” said Penate. “The teams do 60 runs and are graded by the type commanders. The entire team also takes a test of 100 questions, with 80 percent of questions depending on if they

are from TACRON or ATC and the other 20 percent on the opposite command.”

The certification awarded from NATTC lasts 120 days.

NATTC is part of the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training and graduates approximately 15,000 Navy, Marine Corps and international students annually. The largest part of this student body is comprised of enlisted personnel attending “A” schools designed to provide them with the knowledge and skill levels required to perform as technicians at the third class petty officer level.

CNATT develops, delivers and supports aviation technical training at 27 sites located throughout the continental United States and Japan.

CNATT is a training center under Naval Education and Training Command, and is a technical training agent for the Naval Aviation Enterprise, an organization designed to advance and sustain naval aviation warfighting capabilities at an affordable cost.

A second show bird designated as a ‘squadron show bird’ is scheduled to arrive in September of this year.

Headquartered in the “Cradle of Naval Aviation” onboard NAS Pensacola, CTW-6 is responsible for all Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) Naval Flight Officer (NFO) training and production. CTW6 graduates about 300 U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and international students annually. Their the mission is to safely train the world’s finest combat quality NFOs, committed to global security and prosperity, while projecting naval air power worldwide.

Primary, intermediate and advanced NFO training is conducted in three training squadrons: Training Squadron 10 (VT-10), Training Squadron 4 (VT-4) and Training Squadron 86 (VT-86). Additionally, the 2nd German Air Force Training Squadron (2nd GAF) is an integral part of the CTW-6 International Military Training program.

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.

The procrastinator’s motto: No day like tomorrow

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist

M

y column was late again this week.

A spaceship wasn’t hovering over Rhode Island.

Our house didn’t burn down. My computer didn’t seize up with “the blue screen of death.” None of our kids came down with double pneumonia. I hadn’t been arrested for tax fraud.

Nope, I didn’t have one decent excuse for my column being late. Truth be told, I’m a hopeless procrastinator.

I’m supposed to submit my column to newspaper editors on Thursdays for publication the following week. So every Monday, I know the smart thing would be to write 200 words on Monday and Tuesday, leaving Wednesday for rewrites and editing, and Thursday for polishing and submission.

But that makes way too much sense.

“Thursday is eons away,” I think to myself at the beginning

How to submit a commentary

of each week. “Today, I’ll get laundry done, mop the floors, wash the car. Getting chores done will free me up to write more tomorrow.”

But between the dog being afraid of the vacuum cleaner, the hour-long call from my mother, the search for missing socks under the kids’ beds, and that riveting episode of “Flea Market Flip” I had to watch until the end, I barely manage to defrost the pork chops.

On Tuesday, I wake with a purpose. “I’m going to make some headway on that column … as soon as I think

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 . of an idea. What will I write about this week?” I wonder optimistically. Notebook in hand, I sit on the front porch to let the dog sniff around in the yard while I search for inspiration.

“Hmmm,” my inner dialogue sabotages my creative process once again, “the beds could really use a bit of weeding.”

Three hours later, there are

bags of garden debris out by the curb, my fingernails are packed with dirt, and I’m on my way to Home Depot for grass seed, tomato cages, and annuals.

On Wednesday, I determine that, if I spend the entire day in front of my computer, I can turn out 700 words and still have Thursday for editing. “All I need is a subject,” I tell myself.

I pour an oversized mug of coffee, and settle in front of the desktop. All morning, I troll the Internet looking for topics, current events, some nugget of news that might feed an idea.

With a pang of hunger nagging me to stop for a snack, I decide to check Facebook real quick to see what’s trending.

Big mistake.

An hour later, I’ve scrolled all the way down to 2015, got sucked into a comment debate over whether mustard or ketchup is better on hot dogs, and watched a string of YouTube videos of dogs with human voiceovers.

I figure I’ll switch out the laundry and try again after lunch, but the afternoon brings a case of the sleepys. I convince myself that a 20-minute catnap on the couch will do wonders, but you can probably guess how the day goes from there.

Thursday, I wake up stressed,

which should provide adequate motivation to meet my ninehour deadline. But by noon, I have done everything BUT my column. I organized the junk drawer, swept out the basement, clipped my toenails, put our National Geographic magazines in chronological order, and dug the fuzz out of the keyboard with a toothpick.

While standing in front of the open refrigerator, I plan to e-mail my editors to finally let them know, I just can’t do this anymore. The afternoon passes in hopeless defeat.

But on Friday, I notice that the sky did not fall. The Earth did not implode. I am still breathing. My editors probably haven’t even noticed that my column is late. I realize that my fear of failure caused me to create conditions where success is impossible. With the dangerous awareness that I could play this cat and mouse game with myself every week if I so dared, I finally sat down and tapped out this column about procrastination, submitting it the day after last week’s deadline.

Every time I hit send on a column, I promise myself, “I will put an end to this selfdestructive habit, and I’ll do it first thing – tomorrow.”

Gilday relieves Richardson as CNO From Chief of Naval Operations Public Affairs

W

ASHINGTON (NNS) – Adm. Mike Gilday relieved Adm. John Richardson as the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) in a ceremony, Aug. 22 at the Washington Navy Yard.

Gilday became the 32nd CNO, the U.S. Navy’s most senior officer. As a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the CNO acts as an advisor to the President of the United States, the National Security Council, the Homeland Security Council, and the Secretary of Defense. Under direction of the Secretary of the Navy, the CNO is responsible for the command, utilization of resources, and operating efficiency of naval forces and shore activities assigned by the Secretary.

The Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer acted as the presiding officer and guest speaker at the ceremony. In his speech, Spencer focused on the Navy’s many accomplishments during Richardson’s tenure.

“The Sailors serving this nation are constantly on Adm. Richardson’s mind and close to his heart,” he said. “As much as Adm. Richardson has done for our capabilities and processes,

he’s done more for our people.

Thanks to his efforts, the men and women of the U.S. Navy are safer, better prepared, and better commanded while standing watch around the world.”

Before concluding, Spencer spoke about the future of the Navy.

“Adm. Gilday has already played a critical role in restoring our readiness and lethality, and he’s well positioned to help take our integrated naval force into the next decade,” he said.

During the ceremony, Gilday spoke about the status of the Navy and what he sees in the service’s future.

“I believe our Navy’s strategic direction is rock solid and that our Navy is in great shape,” said Gilday. “We are recruiting and retaining a high-quality force, we are providing well trained combat-ready forces forward, around the globe. We are modernizing our Navy at

a scope and pace not seen in decades. I can say all that, in large part, due to the leadership of our 31st CNO.” Gilday also thanked Richardson and his family for their service throughout the years.

“Adm. and Mrs. Richardson – John and Dana – thanks for your nearly four decades of selfless service,” said Gilday.

“You have given so much – and accomplished so much – all of it quietly and humbly, yet so effectively.”

In his speech, Richardson thanked his family, friends,

those who served with him during his 37-year tenure, as well as the men and women serving in the Navy.

“The Navy has given so much to me and my family,” said Richardson.

“Most important has been the chance to be part of a noble institution, working with honorable and talented people. Dana and I are so grateful for a lifetime of working shoulder-to-shoulder with the Navy team.”

Richardson also praised Gilday and spoke about some of his accomplishments.

“Adm. Gilday is a true

cutting edge warfighter, a surface warrior who, by virtue of his leadership at 10th Fleet, fully appreciates the challenges we face in the cyber warfare arena and the increasing pace of competition in new domains,” said Richardson.

“His experience as the director of the Joint Staff will ensure that the Navy continues to look for every opportunity to collaborate with other services, allies, and partners around the world. The Navy will be in good hands with Adm. Gilday at the helm.”

Navy releases more Public-Private Housing survey results, continues corrective plans From Commander, Navy Installations Command Public Affairs

WASHINGTON (NNS) – The Navy has released more details from its 2019 Summary of the Navy Public Private Venture (PPV) Housing “Out of Cycle” Survey, conducted earlier this year based on concerns with privatized family housing.

The results of the survey, conducted April 2 to May 9 by CEL & Associates for Commander, Navy Installations Command, are available here.

In July, the Navy released a redacted version of the “out of cycle” survey to allow PPV partners enough time to develop corrective action plans. The Navy has released the rest of the results to enhance transparency for residents who participated, now that the housing providers have identified corrective actions.

The action plans are in progress or will soon begin, once they’re reviewed by Navy business agreement managers and Navy region and installation leadership.

Each installation action plan is tied to specific concerns raised by residents in the out-of-cycle survey that warrant action by installation property managers.

“The Department of the Navy team is committed to improving the quality and care for the housing provided to our Sailors and their families, which they deserve for their service to our Nation,” said Lucian Niemeyer, acting assistant secretary of the Navy (Energy, Installations and Environment). “Resident satisfaction

surveys provide valuable feedback by location and enable the Navy and PPV partners to create and implement corrective action plans to focus our efforts where they are needed most,” he noted.

“We are releasing additional survey information at this point for two reasons,” Niemeyer continued. “We wanted our partners to have a chance to review the survey results and to propose plans for improving quality and service, which they have proactively accomplished.

Second, we want to maintain transparency and accountability to our military families.

CEL & Associates provided a corrective action plan template and training on how to use the template to both the partner property manager and the Navy Housing Service Center. For this survey, the Navy raised the threshold for corrective action plans to 75 points, more stringent than earlier surveys’ standard of 70 points.

Based on this survey, any neighborhood with a score below 75 (rated average to very poor) is required to develop a plan of action addressing residents’ concerns.

Navy Housing Service Center staff are also developing and implementing action plans for all Navyspecific issues at each installation.

“I want to thank the Sailors and their families who spent their time to take the survey,” said Vice Adm. Mary M. Jackson, commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC). “They have helped us tremendously in focusing on residents’ concerns, and it is important that they see the full results. Now it is our responsibility

to stay engaged with our PPV partners as the advocates for Sailors and their families.”

Each military service has different businessagreement constructs, and the Navy business arrangements use limited liability companies (LLCs).

The Navy is the non-managing member and the Public Private Venture housing partners are the managing members of each LLC. The Navy’s six PPV partners are Balfour Beatty, Clark, Hunt, Landmark, Lincoln and Patrician.

Balfour Beatty operates about 8,700 family housing units. Project NORTHEAST includes seven installations in Navy Region Mid-Atlantic, and project SOUTHEAST includes 11 installations in Navy Region Southeast.

Patrician operates about 900 family housing units at one installation, project NEW ORLEANS in Navy Region Southeast.

Landmark’s regular 2019 resident satisfaction survey was in progress, so they were not included in the 2019 “out of cycle” survey. Landmark operates approximately 400 family housing units. Project SOUTH TEXAS includes two installations in Navy Region Southeast.

Local Housing Service Center contact information is available at www.cnic.navy.mil/ContactHousing.

Residents who have questions about privatized housing can contact Navy Housing Headquarters at NavyHousingHQ@navy.mil.

New F-35 Modification Facility brings strategic capability to FRCE

Fleet Readiness Center East is the lead site for depot-level maintenance on the F-35B Lightning II (short takeoff-vertical landing). A recently constructed laser shock peening facility will bring a new strategic capability to Fleet Readiness Center East and the F-35B Lightning II aircraft line next year. When the new F-35 laser shock peening facility is fully operational in 2020, FRCE will be one of two sites in the world that will use laser technology to strengthen F-35 structural components.

by Heather Wilburn Fleet Readiness Center Public Affairs MARINE CORPS AIR STATION CHERRY POINT, North Carolina (NNS) – A recently-completed facility will bring a new strategic capability to Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE) and the F-35B Lightning aircraft line next year. When the new F-35 laser shock peening facility is fully operational in 2020, FRCE will be one of two sites in the world that will use laser technology to strengthen F-35 structural components.

Construction of the $6 million facility wrapped in July, and the contractor providing the laser shock peening service will take occupancy in early spring, said Donald Jeter, portfolio manager of the F-35 aircraft line at FRCE.

Under that timeline, the first F-35 aircraft inducted for laser shock peening would arrive in June to undergo the validation and verification process, and then the depot will begin work on the remainder of the F-35 fleet that requires the laser shock peening modification.

“This facility is a big get for Fleet Readiness Center East,” Jeter said. “It’s very exciting.

Being able to perform this laser shock peening process adds a huge strategic capability to our depot. With it, we’ll be able to provide a critical support element to the F-35B program and act as a force multiplier for the fleet and the warfighter.”

The 16,000-square-foot facility comprises two bays, where the actual laser shock peening process will take place, and a connected area that will house the laser

generator. The state-of-the-art laser shock peening process will allow FRCE to conduct heavy structure modifications that will strengthen areas of the F-35’s airframe without disassembling the entire aircraft, said Matthew Crisp, the F-35 Joint Program Office site lead at FRCE. The process strengthens designs without adding additional metal or weight, which increases the aircraft’s life and reduces maintenance costs. It has been used on the F-22 Raptor and in manufacturing aircraft components including engine blades, Crisp said, but has never been employed for the F-35. Now, FRCE will use the technology to help Marine Corps aircraft reach their full life limit.

Aircraft maintenance professionals at FRCE will conduct prep work and some structural modification on the F-35s inducted into the depot, then turn them over to the contractor running the laser shock peening operations.

The contractor will complete the process to strengthen the bulkheads and airframes, and FRCE will put the jets back together, perform all the flight test functions and get them back out to the fleet, Jeter said.

The end result is aircraft that have been reinforced without adding additional weight, which would reduce the fighter’s capabilities by limiting its fuel or weapons carrying capacity.

Shot peening is not a new process, Crisp said, but laser shock peening is unique in that it produces a uniform result across the surface being treated. In laser

shock peening, the surface of the media is first coated with an ablative layer and covered with a water tamping layer. A highenergy laser beam is fired at the metal, which creates an area of plasma on the metal’s surface.

The impact creates a shock wave, which travels through the metal, and compressive residual stresses remain. This compression helps improve the metal’s damage tolerance, fatigue life and strength. “(Shot peening) has been done for decades,” he explained. “It’s where you take a solid media, like glass beads or some kind of metal, and you hit the surface of an item – kind of like sandblasting.

You just randomly throw it at the surface, and it creates all these surface dimples. What you get is a very inconsistent surface profile, because it’s not controlled.”

With laser shock peening, the process is very controlled, Crisp said.

“They create a laser beam that’s actually square, and the intensity is consistent across the entire laser beam – it’s the exact same at the very edge of the beam as it is in the middle,” he said. “They come up with a grid pattern and stack the squares up right beside each other, so the entire surface of the part is completely uniform. You don’t have the weak spots in between these areas that would then induce cracking later.”

Jeter said he expects laser shock peening to be a main focus of the F-35 line for the next four to five years. Once the first two aircraft have undergone the validation and verification (val/ver) process, it will be a sprint to the finish to

complete modifications on the remainder of the F-35B fleet that requires this treatment.

“After that val/ver event, the aircraft will basically be noseto-tail,” Crisp added. “We’ll completely fill every aircraft stall that’s here, and for the next five years, when one leaves another will come in. That’s critical, because this process has to be done on every single airplane that requires it.”

The workload does not include every F-35 ever produced, although it does include B and C models, and also encompasses F-35 aircraft owned by partner nations. FRCE will focus solely on the B variant, while Ogden Air Force Base in Utah will work on the F-35C models and take any F-35B overflow.

After the first round of laser shock peening modifications, what comes after that is still to be determined, Crisp said.

“I’m sure there will be some follow-on work,” he said. “And beyond the F-35 program, this is a little bit exciting, because this really is cutting-edge technology and we have it here at FRCE. I think maybe within the engineering community here, as people find out more about it, they may open additional discussions about how we could implement this on other aircraft lines. We might find a future capability we want to look at.”

Question-and-answer with an instructor pilot Story, photo

by L.t.j.g. Nicholas Wren NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs Office

T

he instructor pilots at NAS Whiting Field (NASWF) play an invaluable role in the training of future naval aviators.

In a recent issue, Gosport highlighted the fixed-wing primary side of training with an interview of a training squadron (VT) instructor pilot.

This week, we had the pleasure of talking with Lt. Zachary Minette of HT28. Minette is a TH-57B/C helicopter instructor for advanced training at NASWF South Field. The following questions and answers help illustrate the challenges and responsibilities inherent in teaching rotary student aviators.

What led you to the Navy and what did you do before coming to Whiting Field?

My commission was from NROTC at George Washington University. I was in VT-27 in primary, HT-8 in advanced, HSC-3 and HSC-23 in the fleet, and now HT-28 as an instructor.

I ranked all the training commands at the top.

Briefly describe the training it takes to become an instructor – how it was different from regular flight school?

Training was mostly at the HITU (Helicopter Instructor Training Unit) where they get you ready to fly with students.

Besides being able to fly the maneuvers yourself, they also concentrate on being ready for anything with students.

How much experience as an instructor is needed before taking students who have never flown the TH-57 before?

Here at HT-28 we require 175 total hours, then 50 hours in the Bravo (TH-57B, visual flight rules only, for students just starting advanced

A HT-28 instructor debriefs a student aviator on the details of the flight just flown with feedback for future flights.

training) before you are allowed to take on-wings.

Before all of that you will also go through an instructor syllabus at the HITU to get you ready specifically for Bravos.

What typically do you do with a student on their first flight?

First we do a course rules show-and-tell, then fly out to a NOLF (Navy Outlying Landing Field) to learn each control one

What led you to flight instructing? Was it something you wanted to do early in your naval career?

It wasn’t anything I was viewing early in my career, but I did always enjoy teaching flights in the fleet. When it was time to select where to go next

at a time. By the end, we spend some time with all three controls (cyclic, tail rotor pedals and collective).

What was/is a method you use to help students learn to hover?

Force them to talk about something to distract them from flying. The subconscious hovers better than the conscious mind.

What is the primary purpose of the first solo and what must they know?

The first solo is geared toward (the question) “Can the student fly a basic flight safely? If they were to get an emergency, could they handle it?”

Nothing more than that.

How challenging is it to get a student to their

first solo on average?

Depends on the students.

It requires a lot of outside squadron studying, and as long as you are practicing the maneuvers then the flying part is easy.

Describe the purpose/ role of an instructor in the entirety of flight training.

Most of the things I cover are things that I wish I had known or done different when I came through. It’s also to get students ready for how to study in the fleet.

From then to now have you changed your instructing style, or changed ways you do things, or maybe learned new techniques that worked better?

Constantly.

Each student has been different. Nothing works

for everyone. The first few flights you figure out what type of things work and then you tailor your teaching to that.

How has this position changed, or molded you as a pilot?

I have never been more proficient at basic FAA rules and instrument flying than I have as an instructor at HT-28. It has also allowed me to fine tune my teaching technique overall.

What would you say was the most gratifying moment of teaching you had in the aircraft?

Definitely the soft patching (students receive their wing patches on their flight suit) and being able to give my on-wings (my designated solo student), their wings.

LABOR DAY

• Sept. 2, 2019 •

how it came to be – and what it means for you

From www.DoL.gov

L

abor Day differs in every essential way from the other holidays of the year in any country,” Samuel Gompers, founder and longtime president of the American Federation of Labor said.

“

Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity and wellbeing of our country.

Founder of Labor Day More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers.

Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor. Library of Congress photo

Some records show that Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a co-founder of the American

Federation of Labor, was first in suggesting a day to honor those “who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold.”

But McGuire’s place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many believe that Matthew Maguire, a machinist, and not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday.

Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, New Jersey, proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. What is clear is that the Central Labor Union adopted a Labor Day proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic.

The first Labor Day The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, Sept. 5, 1883.

In 1884, the first Monday in September was selected as the holiday, as originally proposed, and the Central Labor Union urged similar organizations in other cities to follow the example of New York and celebrate a “workingmen’s

Word Search: ‘American states’

holiday” on that date. The idea spread with the growth of labor organizations and in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.

Labor Day legislation Through the years the nation gave increasing emphasis to Labor Day. The first governmental recognition came through municipal ordinances passed during 1885 and 1886. From them developed the movement to secure state legislation. The first state bill was introduced into the New York Legislature, but the first to become law was passed by Oregon on Feb. 21, 1887. During the year four more states – Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York – created the Labor Day holiday by legislative enactment. By the end of the decade Connecticut, Nebraska and Pennsylvania had followed suit. By 1894, 23 other states had adopted the holiday in honor of workers, and June 28 of that year Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories.

A nationwide holiday The form that the observance and celebration of Labor Day should take were outlined in the first proposal of the holiday – a street parade to exhibit to the public “the strength and

esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations” of the community, followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families. This became the pattern for the celebrations of Labor Day. Speeches by prominent men and women were introduced later, as more emphasis was placed upon the economic and civic significance of the holiday.

Still later, by a resolution of the American Federation of Labor convention of 1909, the Sunday preceding Labor Day was adopted as Labor Sunday and dedicated to the spiritual and educational aspects of the labor movement.

The character of the Labor Day celebration has undergone a change in recent years, especially in large industrial

Gosling Games Color Me: ‘Math class’

centers where mass displays and huge parades have proved a problem. This change, however, is more a shift in emphasis and medium of expression. Labor Day addresses by leading union officials, industrialists, educators, clerics and government officials are given wide coverage in newspapers, radio and television.

The vital force of labor added materially to the highest standard of living and the greatest production the world has ever known and has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pay tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation’s strength, freedom and leadership – the American worker.

T

he Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT) named its 2019 second quarter Civilians of the Quarter (COQ), Aug. 20.

Selected were Innis Davis, a facilities specialist at the Center for Information Warfare Training in Pensacola as non-supervisory COQ and Victoria Leezer, an instructor and lead course developer at Information Warfare Training Command Virginia Beach, Virginia, as Civilian Instructor of the Quarter.

“The CIWT domain encompasses an exceptionally talented and dedicated team of professionals, and CIWT civilians like Mr. Davis and Ms. Leezer are deeply invested in the execution of our mission and warfighting lethality, readiness and capacity,” said CIWT’s Executive Director Jim Hagy. “We greatly appreciate their enthusiastic perseverance and service to the Navy and our country.”

As an instructor and lead course developer, Leezer organized and led 24 military and civilian instructors in all facets of training materials document creation by

producing Training Project Plans, Training Course Control Documents and Resource Requirements Lists for the Navy’s Intelligence Specialists (IS) 2025 training modernization initiative.

Additionally, she personally constructed 70 new and reconstructed 25 Course Training Task List (CTTL) line items for the new Operational Intelligence Analyst “C” school course while reviewing, and quality checking 851 additional CTTL items for all three IS 2025 courses.

“Ms. Leezer is fully engaged in this command’s IS 2025 curriculum project – a herculean modernization effort, not attempted in 14 years, to reduce ‘street-to-fleet’ time while improving the training for intelligence specialists from the basic journeyman level,” said Cmdr. Richard Bosworth, commanding officer of IWTC Virginia Beach. “Her subject matter expertise, Navy training savvy and fleetwide impact

CIWT delivers trained information warfare professionals to the Navy and joint services, enabling optimal performance of information warfare across the full spectrum of military operations.

of her efforts place her at the civilian pinnacle of our civilian workforce.”

As a CIWT domain facilities specialist, Davis has been a pinnacle player in standing up one of the Navy’s few modular Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIF).

The addition of the 44 modular SCIF buildings offers CIWT an additional 37,000 square feet of training space consisting

of 33 electronic classrooms and 530-student computer stations that help keep up with the demand for trained cybersecurity and information warfare specialists.

He conducted daily inspections of the facility and coordinated with Naval Facilities Engineering Command for security and fire suppression issues.

“Mr. Davis is a true team

player who consistently goes out of his way to ensure all commands and detachments within the entire CIWT domain not only meet, but exceed mission expectations,” said Harold O’Connell, CIWT’s training support services (N4N6) director. “Although he is a behind-the-scenes action officer, his steadfast devotion, exceptional performance and leadership are force multipliers that ensure our domain team continues to have and maintain the finest resources that help train and deliver information warfare professionals to the fleet.”

With four schoolhouse commands, two detachments, and training sites throughout the United States and Japan, CIWT is recognized as Naval Education and Training Command’s top learning center for the past three years. Training more than 21,000 students every year, CIWT delivers trained information warfare professionals to the Navy and joint services.

CIWT also offers more than 200 courses for cryptologic technicians, intelligence specialists, information systems technicians, electronics technicians, and officers in the information warfare community.
