World War II generation remembered Navy F6F Hellcat unveiled at museum Story, photos by Mike O’Connor Gosport Associate Editor

In solidarity and sacrifice, they were a generation of Americans united in a just cause: protecting this nation’s freedom from world-encompassing tyranny. More than 418,000 of them died in the five-year struggle to rid the world of totalitarianism. America’s World War II generation rose to meet the challenge. And Dec. 6, 2013, they rose again to receive the applause from hundreds of service members and civilians at a World War II remembrance ceremony held in the National Naval Aviation Museum onboard Area veterans of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, including former RM1 Jacob NAS Pensacola.

Bobcat rescued at NASP golf course was no ordinary cat, and it had a problem. It was soon discovered that this was a cat from the wild – a bobcat – and that its right front leg was broken; additionally it was weak from dehydration. The small bobcat did not fight its rescuers and was placed into a box. After a call to NASP Public Works Department, members of the base natural resources staff were on their way to the rescue.

Trees For Troops delivers holiday cheer during tree lighting By Tami Meier MWR Marketing

The smell of fresh-cut trees along with holiday spirit filled the air at NAS Pensacola Dec. 6. More than 300 fresh-cut trees were delivered as part of the Trees For Troops program for distribution to active duty military. “Getting a real tree really puts me in the holiday spirit,” said Lance Gonzales, who was attending the event for the second year. “It is nice for our family to be able to get this tree and come and enjoy the tree lighting event.” Trees for Troops is a nationwide program of the Christmas Spirit Foundation in conjunction with FedEx that donates trees for military troops. Since 2005, Trees For Troops has delivered more than 122,000 trees to military families across the world. The trees were given away during the MWR Holiday Tree Lighting celebration held at the

Radford Fitness area. Families enjoyed an evening filled with holiday fun that started with Santa Claus arriving by fire truck. People sipped on hot chocolate, ate Christmas cookies and took photos with Santa. More than 500 people attended the Holiday Tree Lighting event. Children also enjoyed face painting, finger print art and playing in the children’s zone that included bounce houses, Spider Mountain, the gyro, an obstacle course and more. Joann Dean and her family were enjoying the event for the second year. “It is a really nice event for the entire family. The kids really love it. They especially loved the face painting and meeting Santa,” said Dean. With a flick of the switch, the evening ended with the majestic 30-foot tree being illuminated – marking the start of the holiday season at NAS Pensacola.

highlighted the country’s entry into the war and the year-by-year progress of wartime production and fighting across the European and Pacific fronts. A musical tribute performed by the Tate High School Band and Vocal Jazz Ensemble was woven throughout the presentation and recalled the tunes, both upbeat and melancholy, which defined the war years. “(Dec. 7) was the day World War II began for us,” Pisz said. “But more importantly it was a day which we were attacked by a powerful enemy without warning. We were taken completely by surprise and we found that we were woefully unprepared to defend ourselves. And a generation of Americans vowed not only to defeat the enemy who had attacked us, but to never again be vulnerable to such.” Guest speaker Thiessen took the opportunity to personally thank the vets of the generation who were present. “Fifteen million Americans joined the armed services during that war – 15 million. Think about that number,” Thiessen said. “Some of those young men and women are with us today; most are not. The cemeteries from Normandy to Okinawa and everywhere in between – every single small town – are a silent tribute to that generation and what they did during that four-year struggle.” The program paused to call attention to a newly restored fighter aircraft of the era, a Navy F6F Hellcat, in the back of the atrium. Hellcats flown from Navy carriers played a pivotal role in sweeping Pacific skies clear of its opposite number, the Japanese A6M2 Zero fighter. The museum’s new Hellcat was presented by Enterprise Rent-A-Car company founder Jack C. Taylor, who sponsored the aircraft’s recovery and restoration. Taylor, a World War II veteran, flew Hellcats during the war and was the recipient of two Distinguished Flying Crosses and the Navy Air Medal. In a tribute to Taylor’s own service as a fighter pilot aboard USS Enterprise (CV 6) and USS Essex (CV 9), a Navy flight student dressed in World War II flying garb to represent Taylor shook hands with the car company executive to broad applause, and strode off to climb into the aircraft’s cockpit. It was a stirring visual reminder of an era that may be gone, but which will never be forgotten.

Cheryl Greene discovered the little cat was a young female. There was some good news and some bad news: the good news was the bobcat was going to be eventually OK; the bad news was that it had some healing time ahead. “The young bobcat was admitted with a severe break in the front right leg and an open wound to the back right leg,” Kaufman said in early December. “She was very thin for her size, just five pounds. It’s been three and a half weeks and she is now 10 pounds, with another week to go before her splint is removed. We are all hoping for the best but only time will tell.” The bobcat was named “Princess Reada,” after her homesite at A.C. Read, and the maintenance crew there was happy to learn she was being taken care of and someday soon may return to the wild where she belongs. Native wildlife, such as the bobcat, are being pushed into very often non-native territory as development and escaped domestic animals or nonnative species take over the home range of the native animals. Widely distributed throughout most of North America and somewhat rare, bobcats have adapted to “urbanized living” in Florida.

Mostly however, its home is usually in deep forests and swamps with thick patches of saw palmetto or dense shrub thickets serving as den and resting sites. In rural areas, bobcats can range five or six square miles and generally cover their territory in a slow, careful fashion. In urban to suburban areas, the range of territory usually decreases to one or two miles. Unlike escaped domestic or feral animals, native species such as the bobcat have evolved throughout the ages to be an integral part of the ecosystem and fill important roles or “niches” in making the natural world work. Their populations do not increase exponentially like most escaped or feral domesticated animals, so even though they prey upon the same wildlife that domesticated or feral animals prey upon, the impact is not of the scale to be a danger to the ecosystem as they are part of the food chain itself, whereas domestic or feral animals are not.

Don’t cancel Christmas: A misfit shopper’s pledge By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist

ike most military families struggling to climb the neverending series of financial peaks along life’s path, we are in a constant state of panic. Mortgages, car loans, school tuition, music lessons, credit card payments, repair bills, sports fees, application fees, grocery bills, insurance bills, and all the other costs that encumber the typical military family, can pile up into a seemingly overwhelming mountain of expenses. We trudge up that treacherous peak, wondering if we will ever get out of debt, save enough to send the children to college and make it to retirement. We keep at it, hoping that one day, we will reach the summit and plant a flag signaling that our personal financial goals have been achieved. And it will be all downhill from there. In the meantime, we keep climbing from one tiny crumbling precarious ledge to the

How to submit a commentary

next, in a continuing struggle to balance our income and expenses. And just when we think we have found a foothold, something comes along and knocks us into another crevasse of debt. No, it’s not a polar bear, a mountain goat, or the Abominable Snowman – it’s the holiday shopping season and there is nothing more dangerous to our financial security at this time of year. “Now, kids, your father and I are not going to buy a lot of Christmas presents this year,” I’ve told our children on numerous occasions, and despite their “we’ve heard-this-before” eye-rolling, I have sincerely meant it every time. The problem is: once I get out there in that frenzy of holiday shoppers, I lose my way.

About the columnist Lisa Smith Molinari, mother of three, has been a military spouse for 20 years (and running). She also writes columns for Military Spouse magazine and a blog at www.themeat andpotatoesoflife.com. She and her family are stationed at Naval Station Newport in Rhode Island. Despite careful budgeting and planning, I am bombarded by a blizzard of twinkling lights, eye-catching displays, irresistible special pricing, fuzzy slippers, cheese log samples, ingenious gadgets,

two-for-one deals and unsolicited perfume spritzes. I am not an experienced shopper, so like the preacher’s daughter at the frat party, I sometimes don’t know when to stop. One minute, I show up at the mall armed with a budgeted list of specific items and a plan to be home before dinner. The, next thing I know, I have overdosed on department store fragrances and Harry & David samples. My husband and children have called numerous times, wondering why I have not come home yet. My minivan is stuffed with shopping bags full of items, half of which I bought for myself. Woozy and confused, I chew the remnants of peppermint bark I vaguely recall buying from a female elf at Macy’s, make the humiliating “drive of shame” back home, and wonder when the avalanche of credit card bills will

start rolling in. What happened? Will I ever learn financial self-control and stay on course? Or will I always be blinded by the blizzard of holiday shopping temptations and go adrift? With three teenagers in the house and college tuition bills looming in our future, I am making a pledge to stay on course this year: • I will not try on boots, agree to a free exfoliating hand massage, sample gourmet mustards or inhale even the tiniest whiff in the perfume department. • I will stick to my list, pay in cash, avoid anyone dressed up like an elf, and save a few dollars to drop into the Salvation Army bucket. I may not have Rudolph to guide me, but there is no need to cancel Christmas. This misfit shopper will make it through the holiday spending blizzard of 2013, and live to tell the story.

Santa on special duty at NASP during children’s Christmas party By Janet Thomas Gosport Staff Writer

olunteers shared a merry day with 99 invited guests during the Selected Children’s Christmas Party Dec. 4 at the Fred G. Smalley Youth Center aboard NAS Pensacola. The party is held yearly for underprivileged children from elementary schools in Pensacola. The party was sponsored by the First Class Petty Officers Association (FCPOA) with participation from the Navy Wives Club and several NASP departments.

Volunteers were assigned to chaperone the children, who enjoyed activities such as a craft station and a “Twelve Days of Christmas” dance-along with Pen Air’s Penny the Porpoise. Other highlights included a balloon artist. After lunch, Santa Claus arrived aboard a fire truck. Each child got to talk to Santa, who handed out pre-selected gifts that had been purchased by volunteers. NASP Commanding Officer Capt. Keith Hoskins joined the fun by handing out candy canes to the children. The party wrapped up around noon, when children were transported back to their respective schools. Note: Names of children in the photographs were not included at the request of party organizers.

Tailored career guidance resource is free for Sailors’ lifetime Story, photo by Ens. Riley Cornett NETC PAO

Sailors planning ahead for an eventual transition from naval service, are encouraged to take advantage of the Kuder Journey career guidance system, a pilot program available through the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) that ends enrollments Dec. 31. The program can be initiated at any stage of a military career. “Once activated, the Kuder Journey accounts are good for a service member’s lifetime,” said HMCM David Acuff, DANTES Senior Enlisted Adviser. “The program offers assessments, tailored career guidance, and aids with a search that narrows down a list of compatible occupational fields. “From those occupations, the education required to pursue that career will be presented, along with information on financial aid, job searches and placement tools. Providing tailored career guidance is important to DANTES, which is why they are providing this intuitive resource for career guidance.” Ens. Irving Rosenstein from Naval Aviation Schools Command (NASC) is currently transitioning from active duty and found the program to be a valuable resource. In assessing his civilian career options, he used the Kuder Journey program. “Activating my account and taking the surveys was quick and easy,” said Rosenstein. “The program generated suggested career fields and positions within them that I was well

Ens. Irving Rosenstein recently utilized Kuder Journey college and career planning services, which helped guide him toward pursuing a doctor of medicine degree for which he is now taking classes at Pensacola State College during the process of his separation from the Navy. Rosenstein found Kuder Journey to be a valuable resource in his transition to finding civilian employment and education. Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) is currently supplying Kuder Journey memberships to all service members under a pilot program, but those memberships must be activated by Dec. 31.

suited for and were of interest to me. The program then provided details about the careers including the education and qualifications for entry, along with the projected outlook of growth or decline over the next 10 years.” Rosenstein was relatively confident that he wanted to go back to school and become a physician or physician’s assistant, and the Kuder program recommended the medical field as the top fit for him based on its assessments. “The other career suggestions

that Kuder produced had merit as well as sparking my interest, so I am impressed by the program’s level of accuracy,” added Rosenstein. “The program provides many valuable resources after identifying careers to target as well, especially for military members looking to transition to the civilian world.” Service members visiting the Kuder Journey Career Guidance System will notice multiple tools to assist military members looking to transition to civilian occupations. Users

transitioning to civilian employment can choose their military specialty from a list and the closest matches to civilian occupation are provided by the program. Scores from the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) may also be input by the user for Kuder to provide occupations for the member to consider. The program also supplies information on governmentfriendly employers, colleges for given locations and career

fields, and military financial aid options, including GI Bill information. “No middle man, no tokens, no wait,” said Candice Rice, DANTES counselor program manager. “In less than 30 minutes, active-duty, Guard, and Reserve personnel can self-register and take all three of the Kuder Journey Assessments to learn more about themselves.” Once activated, accounts provide a variety of comprehensive and user-friendly tools to assist in career and degree planning as well as the job search process. To get a Kuder Journey account, there are just three easy steps to get started: 1.Visit www. dantes. kuder. com; 2. Watch the User Registration and Overview Tutorials; 3. Register as a new user. (Remember to always select Adult job seeker or career changer, I’m a veteran or active member of the military.) Note: Following the steps above will prevent delays in registration and from being asked to submit a $35 payment. Retirees, family members and civilians who are interested in a lifetime user code, should contact Kuder Customer Support at support@kuder.com or (877) 999-6227.

NASWF named Tree City USA for 22nd year From Jay Cope NASWF PAO

he National Arbor Day Foundation once again recognized Naval Air Station (NAS) Whiting Field as a Tree City USA location for its dedication to conservation and urban renewal. This is the 22nd consecutive year the base has received the designation. NAS Whiting Field planted a tree to recognize the completion of the annual certification requirements and to celebrate the accomplishment Dec. 5, next to the base’s command building. The Arbor Day Foundation presented a proclamation and banner to the command to recognize the achievement. NAS Whiting Field Executive Officer Cmdr. Greggory Gray read the certificate. The certificate read in part: “(I) declare that Whiting Field will continue to annually celebrate Tree Awareness

From U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

ASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates there were 15,000 injuries involving holiday decorating seen in emergency departments nationwide during November and December 2012. This is the fourth consecutive year these estimates have increased. In each year since 2009, there have been an estimated 12,000 or more emergency department visits. Falling from a ladder and stepping on broken ornaments may be funny in holiday movies but in real life, these and similar mishaps result in visits to the emergency room, or calls to fire departments, for thousands of consumers each year. “There are about 250 injuries a day during the holiday season. Adding safety to your checklist can keep a holiday tradition from becoming a holiday tragedy,” said CPSC Acting Chairman Robert Adler. “Keep Christmas trees watered well, don’t leave candles unattended, and use caution whenever you are on a ladder.” In 2012, the most frequently reported holiday decorating incidents seen in emergency departments involved falls (34 percent), lacerations (11 percent) and back strains (10 percent). When it comes to fires, from 2009 through 2011, fire departments nationwide responded to an average of 200 fires in which the Christmas tree was the first item ignited. These incidents resulted in 10 deaths, 20 injuries and $16 million in property loss. In addition, candle-related fires from 2009 through 2011 have resulted in an estimated 70 deaths, 680 injuries and $308 million in property loss.

To prevent fires, discard holiday lights sets with evidence of damage such as broken sockets and bare wires, water Christmas trees frequently, and always extinguish candles before leaving a room. Consumers can use the following safety tips as a guide to help prevent decorating disasters this holiday season: Trees and decorations 1. Buying a live tree? Check for freshness. A fresh tree is green, its needles are hard to pull from branches and the needles do not break when bent between your fingers. The bottom of a fresh tree is sticky with resin, and when tapped on the ground, the tree should not lose many needles. 2. Setting up a tree at home? Place it away from heat sources, such as fireplaces, vents and radiators. Because heated rooms rapidly dry out live trees, be sure to monitor water levels daily, and keep the tree stand filled with water. Place the tree out of the way of foot traffic, and do not block doorways with the tree. 3. Buying an artificial tree? Look for the label: “Fire Resistant.” Although this label does not mean that the tree will not catch fire, the label does indicate that the tree is more resistant to catching fire. 4. Decorating a tree in a home with

small children? Take special care to avoid sharp, weighted or breakable decorations. Keep trimmings with small removable parts out of the reach of children, who could swallow or inhale small pieces. Avoid trimmings that resemble candy or food that may tempt a child to reach for and swallow them. Candles 1. Keep burning candles within sight. Extinguish all candles before you go to bed, leave the room, or leave the house. 2. Keep candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Place candles where children and pets cannot reach them or knock them over. Lighted candles should be placed away from items that can catch fire, such as trees, other evergreens, decorations, curtains and furniture. Lights 1. Use lights that have been tested. Select lights tested for safety by a nationally recognized testing laboratory, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Intertek (ETL) or the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). Lights for both indoor and outdoor use must meet strict requirements that testing laboratories are able to verify. On decorative lights available in stores, UL’s red holographic label

signifies that the product meets safety requirements for indoor and outdoor use. UL’s green holographic label signifies that the product meets requirements for indoor use only. 2. Check each set of lights. Examine new and old lights for broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires, or loose connections. Throw out damaged sets, and do not use electric lights on a metallic tree. 3. Check each extension cord. Make sure each extension cord is rated for the intended use and is in good condition. Do not use cords with cuts or signs of fraying. 4. Check outdoor lights for labels. Look for labels indicating that the lights have been certified for outdoor use, and only plug them into a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)-protected receptacle or a portable GFCI. Fireplaces 1. Use care with “fire salts.” Fire salts produce colored flames when thrown onto wood fires. Fire salts contain heavy metals that can cause intense gastrointestinal irritation and vomiting, if swallowed. Keep fire salts away from children. 2. Do not burn wrapping papers in the fireplace. A flash fire may result from burning wrapping papers because wrappings can ignite suddenly and burn intensely.

Navy offers support with holiday stress navigation campaign From Chief of Naval Personnel

ILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) – A holiday stress navigation campaign launched by Navy officials Nov. 1 is aimed at helping service members enjoy the season. This year’s campaign, “Thrive During the Holidays,” will provide Sailors and families proactive resources to get ahead of holiday chaos while focusing on building resilience for the New Year. “For many of us, ‘the most wonderful time of the year’ is as demanding as it is joyous,” said Capt. Kurt Scott, Navy resilience chief. “Our Sailors and families are operating under more stress and uncertainty than ever this year, and plan-

ning for the holidays can be overwhelming. Our annual campaign will address everything from financial preparations to maintaining diet and fitness goals, so that we can help everyone stay in the holiday spirit and position themselves to thrive in the New Year.” Navy Operational Stress Control’s 2013 “Thrive During the Holidays” campaign includes collaboration between Navy’s 21st Century Sailor pro-

grams and other readiness programs to offer resources on topics such as responsible alcohol use during holiday celebrations; planning and time management; budgeting; incorporating physical fitness into busy schedules; healthy eating tips; spirituality and relationship fitness; and more. “Our focus is helping Sailors and families proactively identify these sources of stress before things start to pile up on them, so that they can truly enjoy their holidays and do so responsibly,” Scott said. “Continuing our effort to promote a sense of community, we really have something for everyone this year from families navigating the holi-

days with a loved one on deployment to helping Navy kids ‘Track Santa.’ ” Engagement with the North American Aerospace Defense Command’s annual “NORAD Tracks Santa” promotion is a new initiative for the OPNAV N171 holiday campaign this year as part of an effort to reach out to Navy children. The “Thrive During the Holidays” campaign will continue through early January 2014. Releases can be found on Navy Operational Stress Control’s blog, www.navynavstress.com, and the Navy Suicide Prevention website, www. suicide.navy.mil.

Help for victims of sexual assault in the DoD community is a call, click or text away. The SafeHelpline provides live crisis support and information by trained staff. Call (877) 995-5247; go to www.SafeHelpline.org; or text: 55-247 CONUS; (202) 470-5546 OCONUS (may be additional charges for OCONUS). The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program provides prevention, intervention and a 24/7/365 response. Active-duty and adult family member sexual assault victims have a choice of reporting options, unrestricted and restricted. Unrestricted reporting allows a victim to have an advocate, seek medical care, counseling, legal services and safety interventions. To access an unrestricted report, the victim can report to his/her chain-of-command, security/law enforcement, NCIS, SAPR Victim Advocate (VA), SARC, and his/her CO shall commence an investigation. Restricted reporting allows a confidential report, which does not trigger command nor law enforcement notification and the victim can have a SAPR VA, and seek medical care and/or counseling. To access restricted reporting, the victim can disclose his/her sexual assault only to the SARC, a current SAPR VA, a health care provider and/or a chaplain. To contact the NASP 24/7 VA, call 449-9231/2. To contact the SARC during working hours, call 452-5990, ext. 0; during and after working hours, call the SARC cell at 554-5606.
