Air show takes off for Blues 70th anniversary

By Ens. Dana Voshen NASP Public Affairs

It is that time of the year again. The annual Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show opens today, Nov. 11, and will be repeated tomorrow, Nov. 12, at Naval Air Station Pensacola (NASP).

Gates will open at 8 a.m. both days. Performances are scheduled to start about 9:30 a.m., but like all air shows, performance times are subject to change. Reserve seating is available and additional information can be found at www.

NAS Pensacola AirShow.com.

And you don’t want to the miss night show from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. today, Nov. 11, because officials have announced plans to drop it from the NASP air show lineup after this year.

Aircraft will light up the sky with color during and there will be a fireworks

display by East Coast Pyro.

Base officials are excited about this year’s show, which could attract nearly 200,000 fans.

“This is really a chance for Naval Air Station Pensacola to give back to the community that gives to us all year long,” NASP Officer Commanding Capt. Christopher Martin said. “It is also a chance for us to highlight naval aviation and the talent and technology of today’s Navy.”

The magnitude of this event really takes hard work from everyone involved, according to Cmdr. Bill Schomer, NASP’s air operations officer.

“This is an all-hands effort, an allcommunity effort that takes a long time to plan and a lot of details are really involved in order to put on a good, safe air show for all to enjoy,” he said.

scheduled to perform in the afternoon, but there will be some exciting performances to enjoy before they hit the sky.

Here is a list: • Shockwave Jet Truck: The triple jet engine machine showcases both speed and power. The driver/pilot this year is Chris Darnell, son of Neal Darnell who has the standing record of reaching Shockwave’s speeds up to 375 mph in 2005. Chris

Darnell has been doing air shows for 10 years and fans will be pleased to see him back.

• United States Air Force F-16 Demo and Heritage Flight: Celebrating USAF 50th Heritage Flight Program founded in 1997, a state-of-the-art fighter jet will fly side by side with a vintage World War II Korea and Vietnam era fighter jet to demonstrate the evolution of air power. An Air Combat

Command trained military Air Force pilot will fly the current fighter, while a trained and certified civilian heritage fighter pilot will fly the historical war bird. This display is a great way to honor the brave men and women who have and are currently serving in the military, as well as a celebration for Vietnam 50th anniversary.

Paul Wood, the founder of The Warbird Heritage Foundation in 2003, will

also be exhibiting his skills in civilian and military flight time.

• Vertigo Air Show: A military-grade 250pound thrust jet engine Super Salto Jet Sailplane will take to the sky with pilot Bob Carlton. The world’s most powerful, fastest and acrobatically capable sailplane will showcase its talent through choreographed See Blues on page 2

New Navy College website redesign a hit with Sailors

By Ed Barker Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) Public Affairs

The redesign of the Navy College website has proven an immediate hit with Sailors; feedback about virtual capabilities, response times and improved access has been overwhelmingly positive.

According to Ernest D’Antonio, Navy Voluntary Education (VolEd) director, the new virtual features are helping his team to meet their key goal of improving customer service.

“The chat feature is extremely popular, primarily due to a current average pickup time of only one minute,” said D’Antonio. “For simple or quick questions, no one wants a long wait, and adding chat to the website and Virtual Education Center’s toolkit was a great solution.”

PO1 Karen Collings, career counselor for the Naval Operation Support Center in Denver, said that since the “Mile High” Reserve Navy is distant from the See College on page 2

graceful movements to classical music, leaving only a trail of smoke in its path. Just when you think it has hit the lowest altitude, Carlton gears up the jet engine for low-level jet aerobatics.

During the nighttime Fire and Lights Pyro Show presentation the sailplane shoots out sparks, smoke, fireballs and bomb bursts.

Carlton is known as one of the most versatile air show performers and his performance can leave viewers astonished.

• Rob Holland MXS-RH: A one-of-a-kind single seat, competition and air show-ready, all-carbon aircraft that is capable of 16 positive and negative G-forces (the F/A-18 does about 7.5 G-force). Holland incorporated his design modifications with the skill to barrel roll at 500 degrees per second. “I want to take aerobatics to the next level. I want to push the limits of what can be done,” he said.

• Bill Stein Edge 540: An airplane with cutting-edge technology paint that continuously changes colors based on constantly varying angles between audience, plane and light is a visual aesthetic performance that will leave you wondering the original color of the plane. Try to note how many colors will you be able to see at one time.

• Randy Ball MiG-17F: Another way to honor Vietnam War veteran’s this year is bring in one of the only vintage Vietnamera fighters on the North America air show circuit. Restored over the course of four years, this fighter maintains 8G turns, a maximum speed of 715 mph and can climb to 30,000 feet in three minutes. High speeds, an authentic paint joband it is the only MiG available for ground display with fully restored guns.

• RedLine Aerobatic Team: Van’s RV-8s is a two-seat tandem aircraft that is capable of 230 mph and a land short ability as slow as 50 mph. It features Hartzell Advanced Structural Composite propellers, a 200 horsepower engine and two-ship formation aero team. The skilled and practiced pilots, Ken Reider and Job Thocker, perform inverted, opposing and formation maneuvers.

• Aeroshell Aerobatics Team: Better known as “the pilot maker,” the T-6 Texan was originally designed as a basic trainer for the U.S. Army Air Corps. It soon became the primary training platform for all U.S. Airmen in World War II that continued on as fighter pilots. For more than 25 years, the AeroShell Team has put on a classic air show performance.

• Dan Serrato T-28C Trojan: Coupling with the T-6 Texan World War II display, the T-28 Trojan model “C” was built in 1954 and was the first craft to land on carrier USS Tarawa in 1955. This was the replacement of the T-6 after World War II because it was created with a larger engine and a tailhook to allow for carrier training. Also, the T-28 was pressed to serve as an attack aircraft and retired in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1984.

• Stearman Flight Team: Demonstrates safety and proficiency in Stearman formation flying.

NASP welcomes back some familiar faces. Taking charge this weekend is seasoned air boss performer Wayne Boggs. For more than 20 years, Boggs has fulfilled the duties of air boss and even assists in production and execution during the show.

Working next to Boggs is expert air show announcer, “honorary Blue Angel” Rob Reider. In 1978, Reider announced his first air show and by 2006 it became his fulltime occupation.

Spectators will also be able to explore static displays including everything from present day to old wartime aircraft. Tentatively scheduled for viewing from the military side are the F/A-18, P-3, C-144, H-60S, MH-53, H-60 and the F-35. Head over to the museum to view the T-34, C-2, C-12, A-3, A-4, F-4, H-53, T-2, S-3, HU-16, F-3D and drones. In the civilian world there is the Focke Wulf 149D, Cessna 172, Piper PA 30, PT-10, A-26 and more.

The Kid Zone offers a place for children to explore and enjoy the inflatable obstacle course, Spider Mountain and bouncy house. All children 12 and younger will receive a wristband with the guardian’s information and a “Lost Kids” section where they can safely wait to be claimed.

fleet’s resources, the new website is very helpful.

“It’s great to see a VolEd product that gives equal access for the reserves,” said Collings. “As a command career counselor, I absolutely love the website and its 24/7 availability. The hardest part for a Sailor is always ‘Where do I start?’ and the new website is excellent for that.”

For Sue Sutter, VEC supervisor, the new technologies have made participating in VolEd significantly more efficient for their customers.

“One example of the technologies working together is that when a Sailor takes the WebTA training while in the MyEducation/ WebTA portal, it automatically populates into the Sailor’s record in the Navy College Management Information System,” said Sutter.

“There’s no waiting for someone to manually enter it into their record – it’s now instantly recorded and that shortens the initial TA qualification and application process significantly.”

According to Sutter, all requests for assistance or action through the Navy College Program website are assigned an ‘eticket’ and can be tracked for follow-up and research. Instead

“Another website addition that is saving Sailors a lot of time is the counseling self-service scheduling tool,” said D’Antonio. “The tool allows a Sailor to sign-up for a counseling appointment conducted virtually by a VEC counselor, or a Sailor may self-schedule a counseling appointment through one of the four CONUS Navy College Offices.

Sailors can also access the website’s call-back feature to request a counselor call them back on the phone at the Sailor’s convenience.

With that many options, there’s very little wasted time.”

70 years and counting: A history quiz for Blues fans Commentary by Sandy Gall Naval History and Heritage Command

I

t’s true, the Blue Angels, the U.S. Navy flight demonstration squadron, are pretty famous, but how well do you know the team’s history?

Like most things Navy, the Blues, as they are affectionately called, are rooted in a proud and lasting heritage. As the team celebrates its 70th birthday, take a look back on how they became the fixture in the sky we all know today.

Test your Blue Angel knowledge. You might learn something new: Q: Who established the Blue Angels?

A: The Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, ordered the establishment of the team April 24, 1946.

Admiral Nimitz had the vision to create a flight exhibition team in order to raise the public’s interest in naval aviation and boost Navy morale.

Q: When did they perform their first flight?

A: The Navy Flight Exhibition Team, their formal title at the time, performed its first flight demonstration June 15, 1946, at their home base, Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville. Lt. Cmdr. Roy “Butch” Voris led the team and flew the Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat. The new Navy Flight Exhibition team was only the second formal flying demonstration team to have been created in the world, since the Patrouille de France formed in 1931.

Q: Why is the flight exhibition team called the “Blue Angels”?

A: The team was first introduced as

How to submit a commentary

the “Blue Angels” at a show in Omaha, Nebr., in July 1946. Right Wing Pilot Lt. Maurice “Wick” Wickendoll came across the name in the New Yorker Magazine in a column called Goings On About Town. Voris said, “That sounds great! The Blue Angels. Navy, Blue and Flying!”

Q: When did the Blue Angels get the crest that is displayed on their planes and flight suits?

A: In 1949, Flight Leader Lt. Cmdr.

Raleigh “Dusty” Rhodes designed the first official Blue Angels insignia or “crest.” It is nearly identical to the current design. Only the aircraft silhouettes in the cloud have changed with each aircraft the team has flown.

Q: How many aircraft have the Blue Angels flown?

A: Since their creation, they have flown 10 flight demonstration aircraft.

The first was the F6F Hellcat. For a list of all the aircraft, check out the infographic at right.

Q: Are the Blue Angels all U.S. Navy pilots?

A: No, the Blue Angels’ first Marine Corps pilot, Capt. Chuck Hiett, joined the team in 1954. At least one position has been reserved for a Marine ever since.

November is Warrior Care Month From Commander, Navy Installations Command

N

ovember is designated as Warrior Care Month, a time to honor the courage, resilience and accomplishments of wounded, ill and injured service members, their families and their caregivers. The Navy is participating in activities to increase awareness of warrior care issues.

Warrior Care Month, which is commemorated across all branches of military service, was established a decade ago when former Secretary of Defense Robert F. Gates declared it would be a Department of Defense effort aimed at increasing awareness of programs and resources available to wounded, ill and injured service members, their families, and those who care for them.

The theme for Warrior Care Month is “A Show of Strength.” It celebrates the fortitude that wounded warriors – and their families – exhibit during their journey toward recovery.

Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor is the Navy’s lead organization

for coordinating the nonmedical care of seriously wounded, ill and injured Sailors and Coast Guardsmen, and providing resources and support to their families. Through proactive leadership, the program provides individually-tailored assistance designed to optimize the success of the wounded warriors’ recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration activities. During recovery and rehabilitation, wounded warriors can experience heightened stress and a range of challenges because of changes to their physical or psychological condition. These issues can impact the rate of wounded warriors’ recovery and healing. To promote healing and an

acceptance of change, the Navy encourages regular contact with wounded warriors and their families to provide information on available resources.

Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor: • Though November is Warrior Care Month, the Navy assists wounded warriors year-round. Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor, the Navy's wounded warrior support program, cares for them and their families every single day.

• Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor provides a wide range of support services to wounded warriors recovering from serious illness or injury – beginning at bedside and continuing

2017 Warrior Games June 30-July 8 From CNIC

Wounded warrior athletes, representing the Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Coast Guard, and Special Operations, will compete in the 2017 Department of Defense (DoD) Warrior Games, June 30-July 8 in Chicago, Ill. The Warrior Games began in 2010 as an introduction to adaptive sports for wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans. For the first five years, the games were hosted by the U.S. Olympic Committee. Since 2015, each military service has rotated to lead the operational planning and coordination of the event.

The U.S. Navy, in partnership with the City of Chicago, will host this year’s event. 2017 marks the first year the Warrior Games will be held entirely outside a military installation or a U.S. Olympic team training facility. More than 250 seriously wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans will participate in the competition.

They will go head-to-head in archery, cycling, shooting, field, sitting volleyball, swimming, track and wheelchair basketball, engaging in spirited competition and experiencing the healing power of sports.

• The 2017 DoD Warrior Games athletes are proof that individuals can recover from a serious injury or illness and lead fulfilling, productive and inspiring lives.

• The DoD Warrior Games uses sports to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation and generate a wider understanding and respect of those who serve their country.

To participate in the DoD’s Military Adaptive Sports Program you must be enrolled in a military service wounded warrior program. Warrior Games team selections are made at individual Service’s Warrior Trials in the winter and spring of 2017.

For information on partnership opportunities, e-mail navywoundedwarrior@gmail.com or call (202) 433-4111.

throughout the rest of their lives.

• Wounded warriors enrolled in Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor are assigned a regional nonmedical care management team that helps develop a Comprehensive Recovery Plan (CRP), which identifies short- and long-term recovery goals and lists strategies to achieve them.

• Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor helps Sailors and Coast Guardsmen return to duty. When that’s not possible, the program works collaborawith federal tively agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Labor, as well as state and local organizations, to ensure successful reintegration of service members back into their communities.

Questions and answers: “What is the story behind Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor?”

Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor provides Sailors and Coast Guardsmen, as well as their families, with non-medical care while they are recovering from serious illness or injury. Regional non-medical care providers tailor support to each enrolled service member’s recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration needs.

The program allows service members and their families to focus on recovery without distractions.

“How does a service member become enrolled in Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Har-

bor?”

Sailors and Coast Guardsmen may self-refer to the program or be referred by a family member, their command leadership or their medical team. For questions on enrollment eligibility, call Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor’s toll-free line, 1-(855)-NAVY WWP (628-9997), or email navywoundedwarrior@navy.mil.

“How many service members are enrolled in Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor?”

Currently, more than 4,300 Sailors and Coast Guardsmen are enrolled in the program.

“What is meant by care? non-medical What does that include?”

Non-medical support includes pay and personnel issues; invitational travel orders; lodging and housing adaptation; child and youth care; transportation needs; legal and guardianship issues; education and training benefits; commissary and exchange access; respite care; traumatic brain injury/post-traumatic stress support services; and more. Regional non-medical care providers work with a wounded warrior and their medical team to develop a comprehensive recovery plan, which is designed to address the individual’s specific recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration goals. In addition, Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor provides transition support; enrollment does not conclude when a

service member is discharged from a medical treatment facility.

“Where is Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor located?”

The program is headquartered in Washington, D.C. Regional non-medical care providers are located at major Navy medical treatment facilities throughout the U.S., as well as at two VA Polytrauma Centers and the San Antonio Military Medical Center.

“Who is eligible for enrollment in Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor?”

The Navy defines a “wounded warrior” as a Sailor or Coast Guardsman who has a serious illness or injury requiring long-term care that may result in a Medical Evaluation Board/Physical Evaluation Board (MEB/PEB) to determine fitness for duty. Support is not limited to combat injuries. Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor also assists those battling serious illnesses or who are injured in accidents.

“The Navy is scheduled to host the 2017 DoD Warrior Games.

When and where will they be held?”

The Navy will host the 2017 DoD Warrior Games in the city of Chicago from June 30-July 8. Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs Franklin Parker made the announcement June 21. Visit this link for details: http:// www. navy.mil/submit/display.as p?story_id=95323.

F-35 Lightning II testing begins on USS America From USS America (LHA 6) Public Affairs

P

ACIFIC OCEAN (NNS) – Five Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II aircraft landed on the amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) Oct. 28.

America will embark seven F-35Bs – two are scheduled to begin the third shipboard phase of developmental test (DTIII) and five are scheduled to conduct operational testing.

America, the first ship of its class, is an aviationcentric platform that incorporates key design elements to accommodate the fifth-generation fighter.

The ship’s design features several aviation caenhanced pabilities beyond previous amphibious assault ships which include an enlarged hangar deck, realignment and expansion of the aviation maintenance facilities, a significant increase in available stowage of parts and equipment, as well as increased aviation fuel capacity.

America is capable of accommodating F-35Bs, MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft, and a complement of Navy and Marine Corps helicopters.

The third test phase

will evaluate F-35B Short Take-off Vertical Landing (STOVL) operations in a high-sea state, shipboard landings, and night operations.

Training Air Wing Five hosts Gulf Coast Fleet Fly In

By Ens. Brittany Stephens NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs

N

aval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) and Training Air Wing Five (TraWing-5) hosted 22 aircraft Oct. 24-28 for the 27th Gulf Coast Fleet Fly-In.

Aviators and aircrew converged from across the country in Milton to share their aircraft, knowledge, and possibly a few sea stories with student military aviators (SMAs) and aviation enthusiasts. The fleet fly-in is the one time each year that student aviators in the rotary pipeline can experience mission ready helicopters of the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.

The fly-in commenced Oct. 24 with the arrival of the helicopters on base.

The MH-60S Knighthawk, the MH-60R Seahawk, the H-53 Sea Stallion, the AH1W Super Cobra, the H-65 Dolphin, and the C-144 Ocean Sentry platforms represented the United States Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps in addition to several civilian helicopters.

TraWing-5 officially opened the fly-in at the Na-

tional Naval Aviation Museum Oct. 25 with the playing of the national anthem and opening remarks from guest speakers.

“Do not hesitate to reach out with questions,” stated Capt. Mark Murray, commodore of TraWing-5, to a group of student military aviators (SMAs) attending the opening ceremony.

“And to the pilots, be receptive and responsive to these questions.”

The ceremony was followed by a panel of senior officers participating in the fly-in. Students and instructors directed questions towards the panel regarding the general field of aviation and the individual officer’s specific experiences out in the fleet. The events served to welcome the visiting pilots and enabled students to interact with the visiting fleet officers.

Throughout the week,

the fly-in provided significant information towards the future careers of SMAs in the rotary pipeline. Students attended community briefs and social events Oct. 25-27 that enabled them to speak directly with the pilots and crews about the geographic locations and mission requirements of their respective platforms, in order to aid them in making better-informed choices with their aircraft selection.

Students also familiarized themselves with the interior of the aircraft , followed by “orientation flights” under the instruction of the visiting aircrew

and pilots. They were allotted two flight windows Oct. 26-27. For many students, the opportunity to experience actual mission aircraft and not the typical training helicopter was an exciting prospect.

“It’s smoother and more powerful than the 57. And it was a lot of fun,” says Ens. Zack Wallace, who flew the MH-60S Oct. 26.

Wallace also spoke to the MH-60S pilots and crew about their mission. “It is definitely influential for my decision.”

While Wallace enjoyed his flight in the MH-60S, he feels he will be satisfied with any helicopter when it

comes time for his selection.

Instructor pilots based out of NAS Whiting Field also participated in the flyin. Several took advantage of the opportunity to fly civilian helicopters during scheduled flight windows during Oct. 25-27. Instructor pilots also attended the scheduled briefs to keep in touch with their respective communities and reach out to fellow aviators.

Squadrons also participated in a flight skills competition Oct. 26. One helicopter of instructor pilots from NASWF represented their respective squadrons in performing

three maneuvers: an autorotation, hovering to lift an external load, and popping a water balloon under a skid. The winning squadron takes a trophy home until the next skills competition, encouraging friendly competition between the squadrons. This year, HT-8 took the trophy.

The helicopters and their crews departed NAS Whiting Field Oct. 28 after a successful week of dialogue and training.

“The fly-in promoted naval aviation, it informed prospective pilots, and it’s a good time,” stated Lt. James Cozby, an instructor pilot.

Gulf Power and NASWF partner to bring energy savings to the installation

By Jay Cope NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs Officer

Standing in front of a 20-foot-tall helicopter simulator, Gulf Power’s General Manager of Marketing and Sales Foster Ware III, shook hands with NAS Whiting Field (NASWF) Commanding Officer Capt. Todd Bahlau, signifying the start of a Utility Energy Service Contract (UESC) project that will help the installation conserve energy and provide for more efficient use of tax dollars well into the future.

The $9.8 million project is the largest single conservation project for any Department of Defense facility in the area through Gulf Power. When completed, the contract will shave 15 percent off the

installation’s energy usage.

“This project advances many of our strategic energy initiatives,” Bahlau stated. “It reduces our energy footprint, enhances our energy resiliency, and enables us to reprioritize the savings to advance our operational priorities for years to come.”

Roughly 92 percent of NAS Whiting Field’s main complex will be affected by the UESC. This encompasses 53 facilities and more than one million square feet of workspaces. Best of all, the contract enables almost $500,000 a year in energy savings that can be reutilized to support operational priorities.

The UESC encompasses a variety of energy saving initiatives under one con-

tract. Projects will involve replacing fluorescent light bulbs with LED tubes in 41 buildings, installing low-flow water fixtures in 26 buildings, heating and air conditioning improvements, an expansion of the energy management control system, and providing low voltage electrical transformers. The accumulation of these projects will save 17,000 MBTUs annual which equates to 350 houses worth of energy. They will also save 26 million gallons of water reducing the installations consumption the amount that 180 households would use in a year.

The helicopter simulator building was selected as the location for the kick-off of the UESC as the largest single project will be a virtual chiller plant that will link

the cooling units from four different simulator buildings and enable them to work as a collective unit. A new, high-efficiency magnetic bearing chiller will be incorporated into the virtual chiller plant.

The set-up will enable the units to cool the buildings more efficiently while protecting the buildings and electronic equipment should any one unit stop functioning.

“It goes back to being a partner in the community and being committed to customer service,” Gulf Power’s Energy Services Supervisor Chris Hood emphasized. “Reducing the amount of energy the Navy buys helps us act as a true partner in meeting their energy conservation goals.”

Getting choked up: American Cancer Society’s 41th annual Dangers of second-hand smoke

Great American

From Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

Secondhand smoke is dangerous. The Surgeon General of the United States, working with a team of leading health experts, studied how breathing secondhand tobacco smoke affects you.

What is secondhand smoke?

When a person smokes near you, you breathe secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke is the combination of smoke from the burning end of the cigarette and the smoke breathed out by smokers.

Whether you are young or old, healthy or sick, secondhand smoke is dangerous.

What we now know: • There is no safe amount of secondhand smoke. Breathing even a little secondhand smoke can be dangerous.

• Breathing secondhand smoke is a known cause of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Children are also more likely to have lung problems, ear infections and severe asthma from being around smoke.

• Secondhand smoke causes heart disease and lung cancer.

• Separate “no smoking” sections do not protect you from secondhand smoke.

• Many states and communities have passed laws making workplaces, public places, restaurants and bars smoke-free. But millions of children and adults still breathe secondhand smoke in their homes, cars, workplaces and in public places.

More facts and advice are available from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at www. cdc. gov/ tobacco.

very year, on the third Thursday of November, smokers across the nation take part in the American Cancer Society (ACS) Great American Smokeout.

They may use the date to make a plan to quit, or plan in advance and then quit smoking that day.

E

The Great American Smokeout event challenges people to stop using tobacco and helps people know about the many tools they can use to help them quit and stay quit.

In many towns and communities, local volunteers use this event to publicize the need to quit, and press for laws that control tobacco use and discourage teens from starting, and support people who want to quit.

It’s hard to quit tobacco. Research shows that smokers are most successful in kicking the habit when they have support, such as: • Telephone smoking-cessation hotlines.

• Stop-smoking groups.

• Online quit groups.

• Counseling.

• Nicotine replacement products.

• Prescription medicine to

The idea for the Great American Smokeout grew from a 1970 event in Randolph, Mass., at which Arthur P. Mullaney asked people to give up cigarettes for a day and donate the money they would have spent on cigarettes to a high school scholarship fund.

Then, in 1974, Lynn R. Smith, editor of the Monticello Times in Minnesota, spearheaded the state’s first D-Day, or Don’t Smoke Day. The idea caught on, and on Nov. 18, 1976, the California Division of the American Cancer Society got nearly 1 million smokers to quit for the day. That California event marked the first Great American Smokeout, and the ACS took the program nationwide in 1977. Since then, there have been dramatic changes in the way society views tobacco advertising and tobacco use.

Many public places and work

areas are now smoke-free – this protects non-smokers and supports smokers who want to quit.

About 40 million Americans still smoke cigarettes, and tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the world. While cigarette smoking rates have dropped (from 42 percent in 1965 to 17 percent in 2014), cigar, pipe and hookah – other dangerous and addictive ways to smoke tobacco – are very much on the rise. Smoking kills people – there’s no “safe” way to smoke tobacco.

Quitting smoking has immediate and long-term benefits at any age. Quitting is hard, but you can increase your chances of success with help. Getting help through counseling or medications can double or triple the chances of quitting successfully. Quit smoking – Nov. 17.

Quitting smoking? Naval Hospital Pensacola can help From Naval Hospital Pensacola

Naval Hospital Pensacola’s (NHP’s) Health Promotion and Wellness Department provides individual tobacco cessation counseling for those desiring to quit

lessen cravings.

• Guide books.

• Encouragement and support from friends and family members.

Using two or more of these measures to quit smoking works better than using any one of them alone. For example, some people use a prescription medicine along with nicotine replacement. Other people may use as many as three or four of the methods listed above.

How the Great American Smokeout began: The Smokeout event has helped dramatically change Americans’ attitudes about smoking. These changes have led to community programs and smoke-free laws that are now saving lives in many states. Annual Great American Smokeout events began in the 1970s, when smoking and secondhand smoke were commonplace.

Tobacco use is a significant contributor to cancer and one of the leading causes of death among the U.S. population. The health risks far outweigh the addiction.

Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training holds change of command From Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Public Affairs

The Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT) held a change of command ceremony at the National Naval Aviation Museum aboard Naval Air Station Pensacola Oct. 27.

Capt. Terrence E. Hammond turned over responsibilities to Capt. Eric J. Simon during the two-hour ceremony, at which Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) Chief of Staff Capt.

Mike Whitt presided.

Hammond, who served as the CNATT commanding officer since July 2015, oversaw the delivery of 560 courses at 27 different locations during his 18-month tenure, graduating more than 110,000 students annually.

“Thank you for allowing me the privilege to serve and be called your commanding officer,” he said. “The Sailors who are coming through our doors are prepared and ready to meet the challenges they will face, and that’s due to the tireless dedication, relentless efforts and wealth of knowledge the CNATT team

possesses.”

During the ceremony, Hammond was presented the Legion of Merit, an award he attributed to the dedication of the hundreds of CNATT domain Sailors, Marines and civilian employees to ensuring quality training for aircraft maintainers.

Under Hammond’s leadership, CNATT earned the 2015 NETC Learning Center Training Excellence Award, in addition to training excellence awards in the functional categories of logistics management and curriculum management.

Hammond also authored a revised Training Requirements Reviews Process, which enabled aviation training commands to quickly identify and resolve fleet skill and training gaps. He was also instrumental in the Chief of Naval Operation’s Ready Relevant Learning and Sailor 2025 initiative, forming a Ready Relevant Learning innovation cell and a Block Learning Analysis Process that introduced the first rating review process of all the NETC learning centers.

Hammond retired from active duty after more than 28 years of service.

UWF lecture series continues with Spanish poet From the University of West Florida

T

he University of West Florida College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities will continue its 2016-17 Experience UWF Downtown lecture series Nov. 15 with Dr. Raquel Lanseros – poet, translator and one of the most awarded and recognized voices of Spanish contemporary poetry.

Lanseros, a visiting instructor with the UWF world languages program, will present “Different Languages, Different Names: Poetry as a Universal Fact and the Power of Translation” at the Museum of Commerce, 201 E. Zaragoza St. The event is free and open to the public, with a reception at 5:30 p.m. and the lecture at 6 p.m.

During the lecture, Lanseros will delve into the process and challenges of translating Spanish poetry into

English. With bilingual readings of her own poetry, Lanseros will offer insight into how literature offers a cultural richness to readers when presented in different languages.

Lanseros also plans to cover topics that will focus on deepening the understanding of poetic expression.

Considered one of the most outstanding figures of contemporary poetry in the Spanish language, Lanseros has received multiple

awards for her work, such as the Unicaja Poetry Prize, the Antonio Machado in Baeza Prize and the Jaen Poetry Prize.

Approximately 200 critics from Lanseros more than 100 universities – including Harvard, Oxford, Columbia and Princeton – have named her the most relevant Spanish-language female poet born after 1970.

Her books include “Diary of a Gleam,” “The Eyes of the Mist” and “Small Thorns Are Small,” which was a 2014 best-seller in Spain.

As a member of the global literary community, Lanseros participates in

poetic creation workshops, courses, festivals and literary events around the world. She often collaborates with prestigious international literary and cultural magazines, and her work has been partially translated into numerous languages.

Lanseros received a doctorate in didactics of language and literature and a master’s degree in social communication from the University of Almería in Spain.

The next Experience UWF Downtown lecture, “Archaeology of the Luna Expedition in Pensacola,” is scheduled to be presented Feb. 1 by the UWF Division of Anthropology and Archaeology.

Morale, Welfare and Recreation The NASP Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) department has a number of upcoming events and activities. For more information, call 452-3806, ext. 3100, or go to the MWR website at www.navymwrpensacola.com.

A new exhibit at the T.T. Wentworth Jr. Florida State Museum features memorabilia from Trader Jon’s.

Story, photo from UWF Historic Trust

An exhibit about Trader Jon’s, an iconic Pensacola bar that closed in 2003, recently opened at the T.T. Wentworth Jr. Florida State Museum. The exhibit created by the University of West Florida Historic Trust will be on display at the museum for the next three years. “We hope that this exhibit brings back fond memories for those who visited Trader Jon’s,� said Robert Overton, executive director of the UWF Historic Trust. “We also feel that Trader Jon’s was a memorial to our military and naval aviation in particular, and hope that this new exhibit will serve as one, too.�

Located on the museum’s second floor, the exhibit opens with the front door of the bar and features memorabilia from

the Trader Jon collection, including model airplanes, flight suits and signed photos of celebrities. Other highlights of the exhibit include a replica bar, as well as a miniaturized re-creation of the bar’s Blue Angels Museum room and video recordings of the legend himself, Martin “Trader Jon� Weissman. “This exhibit is unique in that it will resonate not only with the local community, but also with those service members who frequented Trader Jon’s while they were stationed in Pensacola and are now spread across the globe,� said Dr. Brendan Kelly, vice president for University Advancement and CEO of the Historic Trust.

Trader Jon’s opened on Jan. 1, 1953. Weissman, a Brooklyn native and Army veteran, operated bars in Miami and Key West before settling in Pensacola. Located at 511 Palafox

St. in downtown Pensacola, the bar was known for its unique atmosphere that matched its eccentric owner.

The bar welcomed celebrities such as Elizabeth Taylor, Prince Andrew, John Wayne and Bob Hope and featured a collection of military memorabilia including more than 10,000 items valued at more than $2 million.

When the bar closed, the Pensacola law firm of Aylstock, Witkin and Sasser purchased the memorabilia collection and donated it to the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation. It was later transferred to the University of West Florida.

The museum is open Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. For more information, go to www.historic pensacola.org.

If you are a victim of sexual assault, it is not your fault. Help for victims of sexual assault in the DoD community is a call, click or text away: The SafeHelpline provides live, one-on-one crisis support and information by trained staff. Call: (877) 995-5247; click: www.SafeHelpline.org; or text: 55-247, CONUS; (202) 470-5546, OCONUS (may be extra charges for OCONUS).

The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program provides prevention, intervention and a 24/7/365 response to non-intimate partner adult victims of sexual assault. Active-duty and adult family member sexual assault victims have a choice of reporting options, unrestricted and restricted. Unrestricted reporting allows victim to have an advocate, seek medical care, counseling, legal services, safety interventions and/or transfer, etc. To access an unrestricted report, the victim may report to his/her chain-ofcommand, security/law enforcement, NCIS, SAPR VA, SARC, or others. NCIS shall be notified by the CO and/or the VA/SARC in unrestricted cases to begin investigation. Investigation results are provided to the offender’s CO for appropriate action/disposition. Restricted reporting allows a victim to have a confidential report, which does not trigger command or law enforcement notification and the victim may have a SAPR VA and seek medical care and/or counseling. To access restricted reporting, the victim may disclose his/her sexual assault only to the SARC, a current SAPR VA, a health care professional and/or a chaplain.

To contact the NASP 24/7 Victim Advocate, call 449-9231/2. For the Civilian Victim Advocate, call 293-4561. To contact the duty SARC, call the SARC cell at 554-5606.
