October is Energy Action Month and Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southeast (NAVFAC SE) is putting an emphasis on energy conservation during the monthlong observation. This years theme is “Energy Action=Mission Success.” The government-wide observance promotes energy awareness and encourages the smart use of energy and water resources. “Energy is critical to the Department of Navy’s ability to accomplish its mission,” said NAVFAC SE Regional Energy Program Manager Steven Webster. “That mission is to provide the global presence necessary to ensure stability, deter potential adversaries and present options in times of crisis.” The Navy, in recent months, refined its focus on energy conservation and utilization into three pillars of energy security. Those pillars are reliability, resiliency and

efficiency, further explained below: • Reliability: energy systems deliver in a regular and timely manner • Resiliency: energy systems resist and recover from disturbances, whether they are accidents, terrorist attacks or weather related • Efficiency: deliver energy in an efficient and effective manner The Southeast region continues to implement significant projects that will reduce the amount of energy. “In fiscal year 2018, 15 major energy saving projects will reach full operations, resulting in savings of more than $6.4 million annually,” Webster said. One energy saving project is underway on board Naval Construction Battalion Center Gulfport, Miss. There, more than $4 million is being invested in installing new interior lighting, new HVAC controls, new transformers, chilled water system upgrades and water conservation See Energy on page 2

Virtual Education Center takes over CONUS Navy College service delivery; NASP on-base schools remain By Ed Barker Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) Public Affairs

As of Oct. 1, the Navy College Virtual Education Center (NCVEC) will take over Voluntary Education (VOLED) service responsibility for the continental United States. With the closure of the last CONUS Navy College Offices (NCOs), all educational program servicing for Sailors will shift to the NCVEC and Navy College Pro-

gram (NCP) website. For Sailors overseas, 11 Navy College Offices still remain open. “Even though the local stateside NCOs have gone away, on-base education programs are still available to Sailors through our partner schools,” said Ernest D’Antonio, Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center VOLED program director. “Navy College Program Region Advisors and base commanding officers work together to select academic institutions to provide on-base educa-

tion programs.” On Naval Air Station Pensacola, academic institutions with partnership agreements will continue to provide services as they have in the past. Currently, NASP is served by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Southern Illinois University and Coastline Community College. “Our VOLED support structure includes a See College on page 2

Navarro has always loved theatre and being able to think outside the box. “I think exercising that creative part of the brain has always been important to me, and finding outlets for it ... especially at the Naval Academy, where everything was so uniform and regimented,” Navarro said. The Key-A is not her first art project. At 16 years old, she turned her Dodge Ram van into “The Time Machine” by covering it in clocks and TIME magazine covers.

systems that will produce hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual energy savings. A similar project is underway onboard Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas. Both projects are expected to be completed by January 2018. “The Navy needs the full commitment of every sailor and civilian to perform their duties with the minimum required energy consumption, so energy is available to ensure the Navy mission is delivered,” Webster said. “This includes simple actions like keeping thermostats at prescribed levels, turning off lights, computers and computer monitors when not required, minimizing the amount of water used and reporting observed energy wastes for immediate repairs.” Naval readiness is strengthened when energy is used efficiently. Every Sailor, Marine and civilian is responsible for using energy efficiently in support of mission success. “We provide the tools and education through our community outreach programs and our building energy managers,” Webster said. “Together, we can all help our supported commanders by using energy efficiently in support of mission success.” For more information, visit www. navy. mil, www. facebook.com/ usnavy, or www. twitter. com/usnavy.

Fire Prevention Month: Smoke alarms Commentary from Craig Lewis Fire Prevention Chief, Fire & Emergency Services Gulf Coast (F&ESGC)

Smoke alarms save lives. Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained play a vital role in reducing fire deaths and injuries. If there is a fire in your home, smoke spreads fast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out. • A closed door may slow the spread of smoke, heat and fire. Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room and outside each separate sleeping area. Install alarms on every level of the home • Smoke alarms should be interconnected. When one sounds, they all sound.

• Large homes may need extra smoke alarms • Test your smoke alarms at least once a month. Press the test button to be sure the alarm is working • There are two kinds of alarms. Ionization smoke alarms are quicker to warn about flaming fires. Photoelectric alarms are quicker to warn about smoldering fires. It is best to use of both types of alarms in the home • Replace all smoke alarms in your home every 10 years • In 2009-2013, smoke alarms sounded in more than half (53 percent) of the home fires reported to U.S. fire departments • Three of every five home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke

showed off the Time Machine in an annual art car parade with three categories: daily drivers, augmented vehicles and cycles. “I definitely want to drive the Key-A in it someday,” Navarro said. It’s an incredible show of whimsy that is indescribable. The things people come up with make my car look tame.” The Key-A is a show-stopper anywhere it goes and people are always approaching Navarro with questions and ideas for it. “It is a lot more complex than The Time Machine,” she said. “Not everyone gets the pun right away, or once they get it they don’t get all the things that are on it. I actually like that because it requires people to think a little more.”

Various types of bikes were on display including a three-wheeled Spyder bike. A representative and instructor from Harley-Davison of Pensacola and three motorcycle deputies from Escambia County also attended the event. Riders were able to meet fellow riders, show off their rides and pose questions of the guest speakers, all while eating lunch. Particularly noteworthy was the informal chat session held under the pavilion. Deputies and the instructor were able to pass along valuable information from questions asked by military riders. Hot zones to avoid, traffic laws and how to handle being pulled over by police when riding a bike, were just of a few of the issues discussed.

Feedback from riders was overwhelmingly positive with discussions of future get-togethers and organized rides. The goal of the Motorcycle Mentorship Program is to partner novice and knowledgeable riders together for mutual benefit, safety and information sharing. Varying levels of experience attended the event. Almost all riders, took away new tidbits of knowledge. Support from the local community has been significantly positive. Dedication to their daily jobs outside of the base spilled over into concern and support for those riders inside the base. Additional knowledge from the guest riders is invaluable to the local military community. Combining efforts of all riders covers a wider knowledge base, which in turn, enables riders to learn from others’ mistakes. Future get-togethers and rides are in the planning stages. It is the NASP Safety Office’s goal to reach all riders on base and ensure less experienced riders have go-to mentors for questions, assistance and comradery.

Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla.: A Bicentennial Defense Community Commanding Officer — Capt. Christopher T. Martin Public Affairs Officer — Patrick J. 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 the Navy’s most modern fighter aircraft, the F-18 Super Hornet. Established in 1921 as the Air Station News, the name Gosport was adopted in 1936. A gosport was a voice tube used by flight instructors in the early days of naval aviation to give instructions and directions to their students. The name “Gosport” was derived from Gosport, England (originally God’s Port), where the voice tube was invented. Gosport is an authorized newspaper published every Friday by Ballinger Publishing,

Tablets bring firepower to the future for Marines By Pfc. Ethan Pumphret Marine Corps Air Station Yuma

CHOCOLATE MOUNTAIN AERIAL GUNNERY RANGE, Calif. – Marines from Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One (MAWTS-1) conducted and organized a digitally-aided close air support (CAS) fire mission using Target Handoff System (THS) tablets at Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range, Calif., Sept. 22. CAS is a vital asset to ground forces because it allows medical evacuation and removes hostile air targets and mechanized ground forces. Without CAS, dozens of ground forces may not still be here today. This is the first time these systems have been integrated and fielded for a Marine Corps exercise. This exercise was conducted during Weapons and Tactics Instructors (WTI) course 1-18. WTI is a course that brings service members from all across the world to participate in training that teaches pilots, air crew and ground forces to work together to benefit the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF). Marines set up artillery at Firebase Burt to provide fire support for the range. Using a tablet known as the Target Handoff System V2, they can relay their position to artillery and aerial support using GPS location and indicate where their target

is. The tablet connects to a PRC117G radio to use voice communication in conjunction with GPS. “We were sending VMF messages to (F/A-18Ds) using THS and on the same tablet we had a 117G hooked in with an ANW2 network,” said Gunnery Sgt. Andrew Rogers, a joint tactical air controller with MAWTS-1. “So we were able to track position and location information of multiple friendly positions while they moved.” Rogers said this helps the ground units by sending direct and accurate information to fire support. According to Rogers, the hardest part of this mission was communicating with the helicopters because they did not have the GPS system equipped. “Right now, their radios aren’t able receive the types of messages we send,” said Rogers. He said they communicated the grid and fire pattern through normal voice communication. Over the course of this exercise they used 155mm howitzer shells, 20mm autocannons on the helicopters and planes as well as 5-inch rockets and several 1,000-pound JDAM bombs. “The purpose of today was threefold,” said Maj. Eben Buxton, a CH53E Super Stallion pilot with MAWTS-1. “We were integrating two tablet and digital networking programs of record.”

Josh Foster, air ordnance disposal instructor with Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One (MAWTS-1), provides digitally aided close air support using radios and tablets in support of Weapons Tactics Instructors course (WTI) 1-18 at Fire Base Burt, Calif., Sept. 22. WTI is a seven-week training even hosted by MAWTS-1 cadre, which emphasizes operational integration of the six functions of Marine Corps aviation in support of a Marine Air Ground Task Force and provides standardized advance tactical training and certification of unit instructor qualifications to support Marine aviation training and readiness and assists in developing and employing aviation weapons and tactics.

The THS V2 communicates primarily through K-series messages and VHF and is used by forward air controllers and field artillery. The other program of record is the MAGTF Common Handheld Early Capabilities Release (MCHECR), which has the goal of getting these tablets into the hands of infantry squad leaders and platoon commanders “This is an event we call IPFLY,”

said Buxton. “So the aircraft that we are supporting were primarily MAWTS-1 aircraft and the instructors come out to conduct proficiency flights. So we work with them for our proficiency on the ground and their proficiency in the air. It’s a good opportunity to conduct a tactical exercise with these systems like we did today because we have experts in the air and experts on the ground.”

USNS Comfort responds to hospital’s generator emergency in Puerto Rico By Lt.j.g. Samuel R. Boyle USNS Comfort (T-AH 20)

S

AN JUAN, Puerto Rico (NNS) – The Mercy-class Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) in San Juan, Puerto Rico, received five critical patients around 8 p.m. Oct. 4, from Ryder Memorial Hospital in Humacao, Puerto Rico, after the hospital’s generator failed. The possibility of hospitals in Puerto Rico failing due to running on emergency generators for extended lengths of time had been planned for by Comfort, the Federal Emergency Management System (FEMA) and other Federal and local agencies. Patients were medevaced by the Sea Knights of Navy Helicopter Sea Squadron (HSC) 22 and Army Blackhawks. “Working with the Army and the hospital, we were able to reduce transport times for critically ill patients,” said Lt. Cmdr. Christopher Perry, a dual-designated emergency physician and naval aviator aboard Comfort who landed the MH-60S with patients. “This is the mission we have all been training for.”

The Army Blackhawks, which are scheduled to conduct day landing qualifications on Comfort, transferred patients to the Sea Knights at a nearby landing zone in San Juan. Comfort is part of the wholeof-government response effort and is assisting FEMA, the lead federal agency, in helping those affected by Hurricane Maria. Comfort is a seagoing medical treatment facility that currently has more than 800 personnel embarked for the Puerto Rico mission including Navy medical and support staff assembled from 22 commands, as well as more than 70 civil service mariners. The hospital ship has one of the largest trauma facilities in the

United States and is equipped with four X-ray machines, one CT scan unit, a dental suite, an optometry lens laboratory, physical therapy center, pharmacy, angiography suite and two oxygen-producing plants.

Comfort’s primary mission is to provide an afloat, mobile, acute surgical medical facility to the U.S. military that is flexible, capable and uniquely adaptable to support expeditionary warfare. Comfort’s secondary mis-

sion is to provide full hospital services to support U.S. disaster relief and humanitarian operations worldwide. For more information, visit Comfort’s website at www. navy. mil/local/tah20.

Energy Action = Mission Success for Energy Action Month 2017 From Chief of Naval Operations Energy and Environmental Readiness Division

WASHINGTON (NNS) – Since 2012, October has been designated Energy Action Month, a celebration of energy as a pillar of the nation’s economy and a time to recognize the role individual Americans can play in reducing energy waste. The Department of the Navy’s Energy Action Month theme for this year is, “Energy Action = Mission Success.” The theme makes the point that energy is integral to the sea service’s ability to maintain forward presence at sea, operate sensors that detect threats and help protect our forces, and conduct the full range of missions from humanitarian assistance/disaster relief (HADR) to high-end combat operations. “The decisions Sailors and civilians make about energy use on a daily basis can have a direct impact on how far we steam, how often we refuel and how long can we stay in the fight,” said Capt. Carl Lahti, director of the Chief of Naval Op-

erations Energy and Environmental Readiness Division. “Energy Action Month reminds us of that responsibility and can help us focus on ways to improve our energy consumption.” The Department of Defense (DoD) is the largest single consumer of energy in the United States. The Navy accounts for more than one quarter of DoD’s petroleum use. Throughout the month of October, the Navy is demonstrating its commitment to energy resiliency through awareness and

outreach campaigns. Electronic and hard copy posters highlighting the theme are circulating fleetwide and Navy social media channels will feature stories, videos and tips for energy conservation afloat and ashore. All U.S. Navy vessels depend on hull coatings and regular hull cleanings to reduce drag from buildup that would otherwise degrade hydrodynamics and miles per gallon at sea, affecting speed and range. Ships equipped with technologies

such energy dashboards, LED lighting and hybrid propulsion systems like USS Makin Island (LHD 8) and USS America (LHA 6) have more “tools in the toolkit” to actively manage their energy consumption. These Navy ships can employ best practices such as turning off lights in unused spaces, using trail shaft (i.e., one or more engines secured) when operationally safe to do so and completing routine maintenance on shipboard systems to get the maximum combat capability from the fuel in their tanks. Ashore, personnel at naval facilities can take advantage of energy saving tips on the Chief of Naval Installations Energy Action Month page at https://cnic.navy.mil/om/energy-actionmonth/energy-tips.html.

Cybersecurity: The cyber threat is real From Office of the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare

WASHINGTON (NNS) – Throughout National Cybersecurity Awareness Month this October, and in subsequent articles, the Office of the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare (N2N6) will describe the things you can do, at home and at work, to protect yourself and the Navy from cyber threats. Few people today need to be convinced that our networks, computers and smart phones are at risk of compromise. We have grown accustomed to the news of computer hacks. The confidential information of 143 million Americans was potentially compromised in the recent Equifax breech. In May 2017, the WannaCry ransomware attack infected 150,000-plus computers in more than 150 countries within the first 24 hours. If you keep up with the news, you know of Russia’s election-focused data thefts and disclosures. More distant high profile attacks, such as the 2015 Office of Personnel Management hack that resulted in the theft of 21.5 million personnel records, are memorable because they affected many of us in the Navy. From these example hacks, you can safely assume anything connected to the internet is at risk. In fact, any electronic device for storing and processing data, a computer, is at risk, regardless of whether it is connected to the internet or whether it looks like the desktop or laptop computers we use at home and at work. Disconnected systems are also vulnerable as attackers have employed innovative tactics to reach systems not connected to the internet. For example, thumb drives loaded with damaging software were picked up by unsuspecting technicians and used to spread the Stuxnet virus to centrifuges in an underground Iranian nuclear research fa-

cility. Although the compromise of Iran’s nuclear facility was well publicized, less well known are other news reports that also demonstrate physical systems controlled by computers, control systems, are at risk. In 2016, hackers who were thought to be from Russia compromised a Ukrainian power company, knocking out power to part of Kiev for over an hour. A 2015 breech of a Ukrainian energy company, which resulted in a power outage to 80,000 customers, may have been related to the 2016 attack. Closer to home, in 2016, the Justice Department claimed Iran had attacked U.S. infrastructure online, by infiltrating the computerized controls of a small dam 25 miles north of New York City. The control systems that manage the Navy’s critical infrastructure and other services at Navy bases and facilities are

commercial products that have known weaknesses. Like the Ukrainian control systems and the systems controlling the New York dam, Navy control systems and networks used by operational forces could also be at risk of compromise. During June 2017, a commercial ship off the Russian coast discovered its GPS navigation system erroneously located the ship at an airport 32 kilometers inland. At least 20 other ships in the area had similar problems with their Automatic Identification System, which U.S. Navy ships also use. Experts think this is the first documented use of GPS misdirection, a spoofing attack that has long been warned of but never seen in the wild. Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. John Richardson sums up the current cyber threat environment, “The threats reach well beyond what you would consider a traditional computer

Veranda

or information technology network into the control systems and indeed almost every aspect of our lives and of our Navy mission.” These cyber threats can come from nations with highly sophisticated cyber programs, countries with lesser technical capabilities but possibly more disruptive intent, ideologically motivated hackers or extremists and/or insiders within our organizations, with a variety of motivations. Even cyber criminals threaten the Navy because they sell malicious software to state and non-state actors, thereby increasing the number of potential threat actors. Vigilance and ensuring a robust defense-in-depth framework that incorporates people, processes and technology to assure our networks are safe is key. The threat will continue to increase as adversaries look for potential vulnerabilities and increase their level of sophistication for cyber-attacks. In Congressional testimony, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper described the threat saying, “Cyber threats to US national and economic security are increasing in frequency, scale, sophistication and severity of impact. The ranges of cyber threat actors, methods of attack, targeted systems and victims are also expanding.” But you can make a difference. By adhering to cybersecurity policies, directives and best practices you can help keep the Navy secure and also protect yourself and your families while online, outside of work. It is an all hands effort, like damage control on a ship. Knowing adversaries are actively seeking to penetrate our systems, steal our data and disrupt operations should help you understand the CNO’s perspective: “Wherever you are, whatever system you’re operating, every time you log in, you are in the cyber battlespace.” For more information visit www.navy.mil/local/cyberawareness/.

NAS Whiting Field handles Hurricane Nate By Jamie Link NASWF Public Affairs Office

H

urricane Nate hit the U.S. as a Category 1 storm, having been identified to affect the Florida Panhandle and threaten Navy assets. Naval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) prepared for Hurricane Nate’s arrival last week with the implementation of procedures that protect base personnel and their families along with the safeguarding of Navy facilities and aircraft. The majority of the aircraft assigned to NAS Whiting Field were hangared and the T6 aircraft that could not be hangared were flown off-base as a precaution. Whiting climbed slowly up the Conditions of Readiness (COR) from COR FIVE to

COR ONE prior to predicted local impact. The NAS Whiting Field emergency management team worked to keep current information accessible for base leadership and the base population. Personnel were also encouraged to have a travel and com-

munication plan. Additionally, personnel were advised to monitor the base social media sites for current base updates. NASWF personnel worked in conjunction with Santa Rosa emergency management officials to ensure a seamless line of communication of base population on and off the installation. NASWF reported no major damage to the installation after Hurricane Nate and the base was able to resume normal operations quickly after the base assessment team completed all required assessment checks. This hurricane served as a reminder that September was National Preparedness Month sponsored by the Federal Management Emergency Agency (FEMA).

Hurricane season preparedness refresher tips From www.ready.gov/ hurricanes

Each year, many parts of the United States experience heavy rains, strong winds, floods and coastal storm surges from tropical storms and hurricanes. Affected areas include all Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico

coastal areas and areas over 100 miles inland, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Hawaii and the U.S. territories in the Pacific. A significant percent of fatalities occur outside of landfall counties with causes due to inland flooding. • Know where to go. If you are ordered to evacu-

ate, know the local hurricane evacuation route(s) to take and have a plan for where you can stay. Contact your local emergency management agency for more information • Put together a go-bag: a disaster supply kit including a flashlight, batteries, cash, first aid supplies,

medications and copies of your critical information if you need to evacuate • If you are not in an area that is advised to evacuate and you decide to stay in your home, plan for adequate supplies in case you lose power and water for several days and you are not able to leave due to

flooding or blocked roads. • Make a family emergency communication plan Many communities have text or e-mail alerting systems for emergency notifications. To find out what alerts are available in your area, search the Internet with your town, city or Marine Lt. Col. Roberts retires ... Lt. Col. Richard C.

county name and the word “alerts” Hurricane winds can cause trees and branches to fall, so before hurricane season trim or remove damaged trees and limbs to keep you and your property safe • Secure loose rain gutters and downspouts and clear any clogged areas or debris to prevent water damage to your property • Reduce property damage by retrofitting to secure and reinforce the roof, windows and doors, including the garage doors • Purchase a portable generator or install a generator for use during power outages. Keep generators and other alternate power sources outside, at least 20 feet away from windows and doors and protected from moisture; and never try to power the house wiring by plugging a generator into a wall outlet

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month Be the Change. Prevent Domestic Violence From NASP Fleet & Family Support Center

T

he U.S. Navy’s core values of honor, courage and commitment are lived and reflected in the everyday practices and interactions of Navy servicemen and women and the military community. The core values can also form the foundation of healthy relationships. These values make us stronger. Domestic violence however, is incompatible with these core values. Domestic violence is not acceptable, and it needs to stop. Together, as one voice, we can help break the cycle of violence by raising awareness in our communities of what domestic violence is, why it is so serious and what we can do to help. Nearly three out of four Americans know someone who is or has been a victim of domestic violence. That means that more than 220,000,000 of us are connected to someone affected by domestic violence, which potentially makes each of us either a survivor or someone who knows a survivor. Domestic violence is more than physical assaults. Domestic violence can include emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse and neglect. Emotional abuse is defined by consistent verbal and psychological mind games, such as put downs and humiliation, excessive control, threats of harm, digital stalking, isolation, jealousy and the use of children by offenders to exert power over their victims. Physical abuse consists of hitting, kicking, pushing, restraining and/or strangling. Sexual abuse consists of sexual assault, rape or threats. Neglect consists of withholding access to medical care, to necessities or to necessary acculturation. Why is domestic violence so serious? Domestic violence is a serious social problem and a national health concern with significant negative impacts on both individuals and communities. Domestic

violence does not discriminate; it affects every race, economic class, education level, gender and age group. Domestic violence may take place in all types of intimate relationships: heterosexual relationships, same-sex relationships, marriages, dating relationships, families and between people formerly in a relationship. Each domestic violence situation is different, yet abusers use similar tactics to get what they want and keep power and control. Domestic violence in a relationship is the No. 1 reason for 911 calls and visits to hospital emergency rooms. In some cases, domestic violence results in death. Domestic violence not only has longterm emotional and psychological repercussions. It can lead to other issues, such as chronic health conditions, injuries, diseases, significant short-term memory loss and stress-related physical consequences that can last long after the abuse has ended. Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 15 million children are victims of family violence each year in the U.S. What can we do to prevent domestic violence? As individuals, we can raise our voice and honor ourselves and our community. In October, wear purple to raise awareness of domestic violence. Be proactive and take a pledge to live by the relationship core values. Spread the word about services provided by the

NAS Pensacola Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) activities “Be the Change. Prevent Domestic Violence.” The Navy’s DVAM theme for October is a call to support the domestic violence awareness purple ribbon campaign by wearing purple each Thursday throughout October and posting a picture to social media using the hashtag #PURPLETHURSDAY. The theme spotlights the importance of knowing the warning signs of domestic violence and understanding where to find help and how to build healthy relationships. Join representatives of the NASP FFSC at the following events during October: • 4 p.m. Oct. 17, “Break the Cycle” Spin Class, Radford Gym. • 1 p.m. Oct. 19, Imagination Station Purple Thursday Playgroup. • 9:15 a.m. Oct. 20, “Break the Cycle” Spin Class, Radford Gym. • 9 a.m. Oct. 26, Purple Thursday Toddlercize Class, Family Fitness Gym.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month... Naval Air Station Pensacola is joining other installations across the country and overseas in promoting awareness and prevention of domestic abuse during October. This year’s theme is “Be the Change. Prevent Domestic Violence.” (Above) During October, a collection of signs, such as those seen at NASP command headquarters will be rotated across various locations on base. Part of the “Know the Signs” campaign, these signs featured warning messages that could be indicators of an unhealthy or even abusive relationship. Photo by Mike O'Connor Family Advocacy Program at NAS Pensacola Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC). As a community, we can use courage to make a change. Together we show commitment when we create an environment where victims feel supported, where we can prevent future violence and where children flourish as they experience safety and respect in relationships. If you suspect domestic violence is

occurring, the Family Advocacy Program is here to help. Family Advocacy provides victim advocacy services; couples and children’s counseling and parent education; and transitional compensation for abused dependents. During the month of October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month, come visit the NASP FFSC and show your support for “Be the Change. Prevent Domestic Violence.”

NETC Commander Rear Adm. Kyle Cozad praised the awardees for their hard work and consistent effort supporting the Navy’s training mission. “The NETC team is made up of outstanding military and civilian professionals who bring critical knowledge, skills and abilities to what we do at NETC every day,” Cozad said. “It’s my privilege to recognize the efforts of two of our team members who work tirelessly to ensure our mission of training and educating Sailors continues to move forward. Whether improving our information technology (IT) tools or helping others learn and embrace evolving technology advancements, both of these dedicated team players are making a tremendous impact.” Joseph Taylor, an IT specialist supervisor, was named the Senior CoQ for his leadership during the completion of the migration of all NETC public

leading people and driving innovation to the voluntary education program, where he has used his skills and enthusiasm to provide new Sailor self-service tools to the fleet,” said Bruce Bare, NETC architecture and governance portfolio manager. “He has the unique ability to get three or four people in a room and move beyond current circumstances.” Working in government for more than three and half decades, with nearly eight years at NETC, Taylor said he likes having the opportunity to support projects where he can have a positive impact on the lives of service members. “I have to say that the work with the Voluntary Education program has been some of the most rewarding work I’ve ever been privileged to support,” said Taylor. “Our team is dedicated to ensuring our service members continue to obtain services

He oversees the daily operation of the administration department, managing congressionaland flag-level correspondence, including more than one hundred chief of naval operations and secretary of the Navy tasks and action correspondence. He is the domain organization administrator for the Department of the Navy Tasking, Records and Consolidated Knowledge Enterprise Repository (DON TRACKER). “With the implementation of DON TRACKER, our team has ensured a smooth transition for the NETC domain,” Williamson said. “Our admin department spent many hours learning the new system while simultaneously assisting headquarters and domain personnel on how to use it.” Additionally, Williamson manages the Navy department awards website entries and reviews local instructions and notices. “As the newly reporting administrative officer at NETC, I have relied heavily on Mr. Williamson,” Cristi Zajic said. “He does an incredible job staying on top of all the admin requirements.” For more information on Naval Education and Training Command, visit www. netc. navy. mil/.
