YORKTOWN

Yorktown Day is a day of celebration and commemoration you won’t find on any calendar or school schedule. It’s rarely talked about outside of the state of Virginia, but to the people of Yorktown, it’s Christmas and the Fourth of July rolled into one.

Every Oct. 19, with much pomp and circumstance, the citizens of Yorktown celebrate the day that the U.S. was victorious over Britain in 1781.

The Continental Army, under the command of Gen. George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette, defeated Lord Cornwallis and the British army at the Battle ofYorktown. Pinned against the sea and a blockade by the French navy, Cornwallis surrendered, thus setting the stage for the beginning of our great nation.

Marching down historic Main Street, the U.S. Fleet Forces Band led a parade of military marching units, patriotic organizations and local high school Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs.

The parade ended with the Old Guard, the Army’s ceremonial marching unit from Washington, D.C., performing for the honored guests with fife and drums.

“Yorktown Day carries a special meaning, not only to the community but the nation,” said Capt. Paul Haebler, com-

QM3 LaDonna Lucas Joint Service color guard representing Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Coast Guard Training Center Yorktown, and Marine Corps Security Force Regiment lead the 2015 Yorktown Day parade, Oct. 19, down Main Street in Historic Yorktown.

manding officer of Naval Weapons Station (WPNSTA) Yorktown. “We are honored to be part of this annual event.”

Yorktown Day draws in dignitaries from across Virginia, the U.S., and even from across the ocean. Both military and civilian personnel from France make the annual journey to remember the sacrifice of both French and American patriots, united against oppression and the common bond that our two nations still share today.

The day began with wreath laying ceremonies at the French cemetery and the French Memorial,on the Yorktown Battlefield, and at the grave of Gov. Thomas Nelson, Jr., at Grace Episcopal Church in Yorktown. These ceremonies led up to the parade, ending at the Yorktown Victory Monument.

Construction on the monument was authorized in 1781, just ten days after

the victory at Yorktown, but construction didn’t begin until 1881 and was completed in 1884. It stands as a symbol of the great victory at Yorktown, but also the sacrifice many made in securing that victory.

“I wanted to express my thanks and congratulations on a wonderful event – Yorktown Day 2015,” said Kym Hall, superintendent of Colonial National Historical Park. “The event was handled by a highly talented group of employees with a commitment to demonstrating the very best of Colonial National Historical Park to the public, our partners and neighbors.

I know this was many months and hard weeks in the making and I want you to know it didn’t go unnoticed and I’m so impressed with how fabulous everything and everyone looked and how well the National Park Service was represented. I appreciate that very much.”

Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center Commanding Officer Capt.

Steven Stancy shares his vision for additive manufacturing with USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) Sailors.

Kearsarge gets Navy’s first afloat Fab Lab

By Chris Wyatt MARMC Public Affairs

NORFOLK

Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC) and USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), on board the ship in Norfolk, Sept.

29, and installed the Navy’s first afloat mini Fabrication Laboratory (Fab Lab).

Kearsarge Commanding Officer Capt.

David Bossert and MARMC Commanding Officer Capt. Steven Stancy were on hand for the delivery and installation of the mini Fab Lab. “This is a game changer. In a few years, I can definitely see this on every ship in the fleet,” Bossert said.

The mini Fab Lab consists of two additive manufacturing 3D printers along with a desktop Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) mill. A large flat screen monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse are also included. The 3D printer has the ability to

build various sizes and shapes out of polymers. The CNC mini mill uses subtractive manufacturing processes to create circuit boards.

Kearsarge Sailors have been training in the MARMC Fab Lab since Sept. 21, as an introduction to digital manufacturing and innovation. They were trained in many 3D rendering programs, soldering basics and electronic component instruction. The goal of the training was to give them the basic instruction needed to operate a mini Fab Lab while underway.

“We are using Sailors to train Sailors on how to use the equipment,” MARMC Fab Lab Project Officer Lt. Todd Coursey said. “This is pretty special because in the past when the Navy got new equipment we were quick to bring in outside help. With this new mini Fab Lab the Kearsarge Sailors are being trained by MARMC Sailors.

Kearsarge Sailors become the subject matter experts and can help their fellow Sailors when they come to the Fab Lab for help.”

Chris Wyatt EM3 Nuvaro Shavers shows his fellow USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) Sailors a project he completed during training at the Mid-Atlantic Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center Fabrication Laboratory.

The mini Fab Lab will be used as a place for Sailors to innovate.

Electrician’s Mate 3rd Class Nuvaro Shavers is already ahead of the curve. While attending training at MARMC he took a problem on the ship and designed a tool to make his job easier.

“As an electrician in the Navy, I have to be very careful when working on equipment.

When I use a multi-meter, I normally have to tape it up with electrical tape. During my training at MARMC, I have designed an electronically safe multi-meter clip out of polylactide,” Shavers said. “It won’t be as strong as metal but the tensile strength is more than enough for the delicate equipment I need it for. I’m not the most creative person by far but I had a problem in my workspace and used the Fab Lab to create a solution.”

Stancy is excited about seeing the Fab Lab go to sea. He said that the Fab Lab is where creativity meets reality.

“This is what the Fab Lab is all about. The Fab Lab is designed to empower the warfighter to use creative thought to solve an issue in his or her work space,” Stancy said.

“We appreciate the support from the Kearsarge team and we look forward to working with them as we both move forward with additive manufacturing and innovation.”

Theodore Roosevelt wraps up Malabar 2015

By MCSN Chad M. Trudeau USS Theodore Roosevelt Public Affairs

BAY OF BENGAL

The tri-lateral exercise Malabar came to a close as Indian, Japanese and U.S. naval forces completed training, Oct. 19.

The annual high-end war fighting exercise, which began in 1992, featured maritime patrol and reconnaissance operations, surface and anti-submarine warfare, air defense exercises (ADEX) and visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS) operations.

“Every Malabar we really go one notch up, and I think we’ve achieved the same thing this time,” said Indian navy Rear Adm. SV Bhokare, flag officer commanding eastern fleet. “We have really achieved a high level of interoperability and I’m sure we will do better next time.”

At-sea events started with an ADEX involving the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1, the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy (CG 60) and the Indian frigate INS Shivalik (F 47).

“Exercise Malabar has enabled the Indian navy, JMSDF [Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force], and the U.S. Navy to further our interoperability,” said Rear Adm. Roy Kelley, commander of Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 12. “This in turn will allow for enhanced support from any one Navy to the next as they operate within and outside their nation’s maritime region, enabling a more global presence for all. Presence is important because being there matters. It matters in global businesses, it matters in international relations and it certainly matters in maritime security where our navies ensure the freedom of navigation and flow of commerce.”

The ashore portion of the exercise featured information exchanges from professionals and subject-matter experts on a wide variety of military operations including helicopter operations, maritime patrol and reconnaissance operations, damage control, carrier strike group operations and explosive ordnance disposal.

MCSN Chad M. Trudeau The aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) and Japanese Maritime Self-defense Force Akizuki-class destroyer JS Fuyuzuki (DD-118) sail alongside the Indian Deepak-class fleet tanker INS Shakti (A 57) during a replenishment-at-sea exercise as a part of Exercise Malabar 2015.

“I think we have built upon each of the exercises annually to broaden and deepen the complexity,” said Capt. Craig Clapperton, Theodore Roosevelt’s commanding officer. “I think the lessons learned from the interoperability of all of these ships and planes in very close proximity and doing so effectively and safely will be invaluable to all three navies.”

Capt. Scott Robertson, Normandy’s commanding officer, was confident the exercise improved interoperability between the three countries.

“With the talent and capability that we saw here over the last four days, if there is ever a need to actually form a tri-lateral strike group, we absolutely could do it,” Robertson said.

While conducting the at-sea portion of the training, ships from the Indian navy, the JMSDF and the U.S. Navy collaborated to advance their ability to plan and coordinate tactical operations in a multinational environment. Events at sea included submarine familiarization, surface warfare exercises, liaison officer professional exchanges and embarkations, high-value unit defense, mine exercise, medevac, search and rescue exercises, communication exercises and an opposed underway replenishment.

Roosevelt also welcomed aboard officers and dignitaries from each nation for a chance to exchange information and observe operations.

“I think the biggest highlight of this Malabar is that despite so many operations, everything went on safely. There were no incidents, and I think it really speaks volumes of our Sail-

ors, because they are the ones who actually conduct these exercises,” Bhokare said. “You make new friends and that’s one of the bigger highlights of this exercise. So I thank each one of you for your participation and I am looking forward to Malabar 2016.”

Months of planning go in to creating these exercises, and years of partnership are what bring these governments together.

“The exercise has come a long way over the years and there has been great cooperation and coordination in making this come together,” Kelley said.

Roosevelt, Normandy, Freedom-class littoral combat ship USS Fort Worth (LCS 3), Los Angeles-class submarine USS Corpus Christi (SSN 705), the Japanese Akizuki-class destroyer JS Fuyuzuki (DD 108), the Indian navy Brahmaputra-class guided-missile frigate INS Betwa (F 39), the Rajput-class destroyer INS Ravijay (D 55), the Sindhughosh-class dieselelectric submarine INS Sindhuraj (S 57), INS Shivalik and INS Shakti were all participants in Exercise Malabar 2015.

Malabar is a continuing series of complex, high-end war fighting exercises conducted to advance multi-national maritime relationships and mutual security. It features complex exercises both ashore and at sea.

The Military Sealift Command fleet ocean tug USNS Apache (T-ATF 172) departed Norfolk, Oct. 19, to begin searching for wreckage from the missing U.S. flagged merchant vessel El Faro.

The ship is deploying to a search area northeast of Crooked Island in the Bahamas island chain, which is the last known location of the vessel.

The initial search area is 100 square miles, and water depth is estimated to be 15,000 feet across the expected search area. Transit to this search area is expected to take four to five days, due to weather.

Apache is equipped with several pieces of underwater search equipment, including a voyage data recorder locator, side-scan sonar and an underwater remote operated vehicle.

The Navy's mission will be to first locate the ship and, if possible, to retrieve the voyage data recorder commonly known as a black box.

The Navy operates some of the world's most advanced underwater search and salvage systems, and is uniquely qualified to perform this type of mission. Though this equipment is typically used to search for and

recover downed military ships and aircraft, the Navy has a long history in assisting other federal agencies in underwater search and salvage operations, including the search and recovery of TWA 800 and the space shuttle Challenger. In 2013, the Navy assisted the government of Australia in its search for missing Malaysian Airliner MH 370.

Apache provides towing, diving and standby submarine rescue services for the Navy.

The ship is 226 feet long and has a crew of approximately 22 civilian mariners and uniformed Navy personnel.

The crew will be joined by a team from the Navy's Supervisor of Diving and Salvage.

For more information on the equipment they will be operating, please see the following fact sheets: ■ http://bit.ly/1OWnJeh ■ http://bit.ly/1i0OqS5 ■ http://bit.ly/1NY6HOk For more information on the Navy's search, please contact the Naval Sea Systems Command Office of Corporate Communication at (202) 781-4123.

CNP VISITS NECC SAILORS

By Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg Navy Expeditionary Combat Command Public Affairs

VIRGINIA BEACH

MC1 Erik Wehnes Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy Joe Bryan presented a Secretary of the Navy Energy Award to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 131 Commanding Officer Cmdr. Brad Freeman, Executive Officer Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Farmer and Command Master Chief Russell Sites.

Six regional commands earn SECNAV energy awards

By Ted Brown U.S. Fleet Forces Command Public Affairs

NORFOLK

Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Energy) Joe Bryan visited six Hampton Roads-area commands on Oct. 19, to present 2015 Secretary of the Navy Energy and Water Management awards to several commands and squadrons.

Commands receiving awards included Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana; Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 131; Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 124; Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VRC) 40; Naval Station Norfolk and USS Mesa Verde (LPD-19).

During his visit, Bryan emphasized that energy efficiency within the Navy is about increasing combat effectiveness.

“People talk a lot about the more energy you can save, the more money you can save, and that is a good thing,” Bryan said.

“People also talk about being good stewards of the environment, and we want to make sure we are always doing that. But the primary mission of our energy program isn’t focused on those benefits. … It’s really about getting the most mission capability out of every kilowatt hour of electricity or every gallon of fuel.

“We want to be able to go further on a tank of gas, we want to be able to stay there longer and we want to be able to deliver more firepower while we’re on station,” Bryan added.

“On the shore side, we want to be more efficient and more resilient and reliable with our power systems so that we can support the mission, because our shore installations are what enable our forward operations.”

NAS Oceana Commanding Officer Capt.

Lou Schager indicated his command is committed to meeting the Navy’s energy efficiency goals.

“We’re always forward-leaning and looking for opportunities to be more energy efficient,” Schager said. “Whether it’s as simple as having Sailors turn off their lights and computers before they go home at night, or largescale renewable energy projects such as solar, or ground source heat pump opportunities, or using the effluent from the Hampton Roads Sanitation Department as a heat sink like we do at Dam Neck Annex – from big to small, we know everything matters.”

Commanding Officer of Mesa Verde Capt.

Nicholas Dienna indicated his entire crew is committed to energy efficiency.

“Mesa Verde is proud to have received this recognition,” Dienna said. “Energy management and conservation is not only environmentally responsible and fiscally sensible, but

is also a warfighting imperative. And, it’s an all-hands effort. Bryan’s visit brought those ideas home very visibly for the entire crew.

“Since the transition from sail, the Navy has been on the cutting edge of developing and implementing new technologies to ensure global access and operational flexibility,” Bryan continued. “Recognition as a SECNAV Energy award winner highlights the value of those concepts to every man and woman on board Mesa Verde. And, at the end of the day, responsible energy use is really just the right thing to do. We’re all extremely proud to be a part of that heritage.”

“Naval Station Norfolk’s selection for this honor reflects the hard work, commitment and dedication of all commands and personnel on the base to energy conservation,” Naval Station Norfolk Commanding Officer Capt.

Doug Beaver said. “Additionally, our Public Works energy team is devoted to executing an aggressive energy conservation program.

They did a tremendous job leading the way with innovative solutions and a passionate focus on the efficient management of our resources to support the warfighter. I could not be prouder of the entire Naval Station Norfolk team.”

The Department of the Navy’s Energy and Water Management Awards Program is designed to promote and reward excellence in the areas of energy efficiency, energy management, new technology, renewable energy, energy training innovation, and energy awareness.

President Obama has proclaimed October 2015 to be Energy Action Month. For the Navy and Marine Corps, Energy Action Month is an opportunity to reinforce how critical energy is to mission accomplishment and to encourage Sailors and Marines to look for ways to optimize their energy use to boost warfighting capabilities.

Bryan indicated the showing by commands in the Hampton Roads region in this year’s award program was impressive, and indicative that the message is resonating with Hampton Roads Sailors.

“It’s really amazing,” Bryan said. “You have a concentration of award winners here in the Hampton Roads area that is maybe unmatched across the Navy. It shows that you have leaders who are making it a point to say that energy is important to our mission and that message is getting across to the deckplate Sailors, who are trying to come up with innovative ways to improve energy use and get more mission out of every ounce of energy that they use. This commitment is helping the Hampton Roads region be amongst the most successful in the country, and that commitment is reflected in this year’s awards.”

Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) Vice Adm. Bill Moran met with more than 800 Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) Sailors during an all-hands call on Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, Oct. 21.

During Moran’s visit to Little Creek he provided an update on uniform changes, military pay, retirement, bonuses, advancement opportunities, training, and education.

“I wanted to come back to meet with the NECC forces,” said Moran. “It’s important for our leaders in Washington to know more about the important work you are doing for the Navy around the world.”

CNP stated that he had visited with members of the NECC forces in Gulfport, Mississippi; San Diego; and other locations, but enjoyed an opportunity to meet with a large group that comprise the expeditionary forces.

Moran also focused on the quality of service members the Navy is attracting and retaining in the all-volunteer force.

“If you have great people and talent on your team, the team will be strong,” said Moran who praised the quality of recruits who have recently joined the Navy. “We have service members who are the most talented

and high performing recruits in the Navy.”

CNP also spoke to the Seabees attending the hour-long discussion where he provided encouraging words on future advancement opportunities on the horizon.

“You should start to see an increase in advancement it will be slow, but steady,” said Moran.

Moran also informed NECC forces about some new initiatives to be launched in 2016 to include a new portal called “My Navy Portal” that will provide one-stop location for Sailors to get the information they need, as well as Billet Based Detailing to assist Sailors find the right fit for their next duty assignment. Moran also updated the forces on a new social media app the Navy recently launched to reduce domestic violence.

As CNP, Moran is responsible for all recruiting, training and detailing policies.

He and his staff ensure Navy has the right number of Sailors with the needed skill sets to carry out operations across the fleet.

NECC is an enduring war fighting force providing sea-to-shore and inland operating environment capabilities across the full range of military operations that is focused on delivering combat effective expeditionary forces ready for worldwide operations now and into the future.

| OfďŹ ce of Small Business

Continued from front completed its strongest small business ďŹ nish on record in ďŹ scal year 2015.

The OfďŹ ce of Small Business exceeded goals in all categories and surpassed their overall small business goal by ďŹ ve percent, while awarding $611 million in contracts to small businesses.

According to NAVSUP FLC Norfolk Assistant Deputy Director for OfďŹ ce of Small Business Programs Leah Baker, this was the ďŹ rst time the command surpassed every goal in a ďŹ scal year, while setting a command record for most money awarded to small business. “We have come close in the past to achieving all of our small business goals, but usually fell short in one or two categories,â€? Baker said. “The Small Business OfďŹ ce and the Contracting Department made a concerted effort to maximize small business opportunities

MARMC

where possible and the results are outstanding.�

Baker added that throughout the year, the NAVSUP FLC Norfolk Contracting Department and small business specialists worked with NAVSUP headquarters on market research efforts designed to increase small business awards.

She cited the example of an effort by Gerald Furey, the small business specialist in NAVSUP FLC Norfolk’s Philadelphia ofďŹ ce called “8 for 8,â€? where small business 8(a) ďŹ rms were invited to present briefs on their companies to the Contracting Department. “This forum allowed these ďŹ rms to present their capabilities ďŹ rst-hand to the audience,â€?

Furey said.

Baker says these small business successes reect the Navy’s overall emphasis on small business programs. “Small business and a competitive, healthy small business industrial base are vital to the long term success and

affordability of the Department of the Navy, as well as to our national security,�

Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisition) Sean J. Stackley said in a memo earlier this year. “The evidence is overwhelming that where affordability is paramount, a strategy that includes small business creates more affordable outcomes and promotes innovation and technical advancement.�

Baker explained that the overall increased awareness of the Small Business Programs has helped break barriers in the procurement process, allowing the Small Business OfďŹ ce to collaborate on the requirements sooner to assess the potential for small business opportunities. “The success is truly a joint effort – the acquisition personnel rose to the challenge and focused on ďŹ nding small businesses that could meet their requirements,â€? Baker said.

| Project partnered with MIT

Continued from front OfďŹ cer Lt. Todd Coursey said. “The course contains a series of modules that each student will progress through with the goal being to turn their creativity into actual concepts and prototypes.â€?

Edwards was the perfect Sailor for this course. She said that she’s never taken an engineering course, she doesn’t like to build things in her off time, she is not very well versed in electronic component design, but she wants to learn. “I have zero experience building things,� Edwards said. “The only thing I’ve ever built was an IKEA desk. I’m very excited to have been selected to take part in this class.

I’m eager to learn and my goal is to be successful. My biggest fear is failure.�

MARMC partnered with Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Fabrication Foundation and Teaching Institute for Excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math to develop a three-week course that focuses on an introduction to digital design and fabrication, ma-

chining and designing of preselected projects, and a selfdirected project. The class was spread over three months in an effort to reduce impact on the student’s daily work responsibilities. “During the ďŹ rst module, Edwards learned about the machines and how they worked; safety and what she can and cannot do,â€? Coursey said. “During module two, Edwards really started to take hold and build off of pre-selected projects. You could see Edwards taking her everyday job as a CS and using the fabrication equipment to create things to make her job easier. She designed and printed an Aztec pyramid molding and ďŹ lled it with chocolate and made candies for the class.â€?

Edwards used every skill she picked up over the course of the class during her ďŹ nal project. According to Coursey, soldering, 3-D program instruction, component design and fabrication were all needed to make her ďŹ nal project a success. Edward chose to build an MP3 player from scratch. “During module three, Edwards chose a pretty aggres-

sive project in building a MP3 player,� Coursey said. “She went from knowing nothing about circuit boards or electronics, to being able to build a functioning MP3 player. It’s quite astonishing to be honest.

The real value of the lab isn’t necessarily creating end products, but supporting the creative process and building the capacity and capability to build a deckplate understanding of emerging technologies.�

The success of Edwards and the other civilians and Sailors in the course, proves Coursey’s feeling that anyone can come into the Fab Lab and turn their creativity into working prototypes. “At the Fab Lab, we are getting back to the basics,�

Coursey said. “We teach 3-D programs and electronic component instruction, soldering basics and fabrication. Here, we teach mechanics to be better electricians and electricians to be better mechanics.

We are teaching operators to be more than just operators.

We are teaching them to be better maintainers and empowering them to be the innovators of the future.�

The Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center (NMCPHC) announced Oct. 23, the launch of a new Navy web-based sexual health lesson available on Navy Knowledge Online (NKO).

This product was co-developed by NMCPHC and the Navy Education and Training Center’s (NETC) former Center for Personal and Professional Development (CPPD). The training is categorized as command assigned readiness enhancement, which means it must be delivered at least once per deployment cycle, or every two years. “NMCPHC has been providing healthrelated subject matter support to NETC through CPPD for over 15 years, and we consider NETC and CPPD as valued public health partners,� NMCPHC Director for Population Health Cmdr. Amy Drayton said. “We consider NETC to be a valued public health partner.�

The theme is “Ask the Doc!� and en-

PILOT

courages Sailors to ask their doc about key sexual health issues. These issues include long-acting reversible contraceptives – the intrauterine device and the sub-dermal implant – Human Papillomavirus vaccination, emergency contraception, annual Chlamydia screening for young women, annual HIV screening for people at high risk, HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis and Pap testing.

According to NMCPHC Sexual Health and Responsibility Program Manager Mr. Michael “Bob� MacDonald, the training is intended to inform Sailors about these key issues and encourage and empower them to initiate conversations about sexual health with their health care provider. “The lesson format was developed in collaboration with multiple focus groups to maximize its resonance and relevance with young Sailors and leaders,� MacDonald said.

The new online lesson invites the learner to select a baseball card to represent themselves – male or female baseball player.

The learner plays nine innings of baseball against the computer, scoring runs for correct responses and for watching video clips.

| Part of Pilot Exchange Program

Continued from front Italian pilots on board. “It was the ďŹ rst time we were bringing an Italian jet back from a problem maintenance inspection from Fleet Readiness Center Cherry Point,â€? Manica said. “I was actually happy to come back here, because I already knew the ship, and the people here have always been friendly.â€?

For the past three years, Manica has been part of the Pilot Exchange Program.

The program is part of a Department of Defense strategy to maximize warďŹ ghting capabilities with other countries on a global scale.

This time, the aircraft is going home to Italy after an extensive overhaul to extend its life span. “They did a lot of deep maintenance, similar to restoring a muscle car, and then the most cost effective way to get [Manica] back to Italy is to ride across with us while we’re on deployment,�

Marine Corps Maj. Geoff Palmer said, an AV-8B maintenance ofďŹ cer assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron

(VMM) 162 (Reinforced) based out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

While at Cherry Point, Manica taught American and allied pilots as an instructor to improve their joint warďŹ ghting capabilities. “Americans and Italians both learn from each other,â€? Manica said. “It’s cooperation between the two nations and it’s a learning curve where lessons are learned from both nations. I’m actually working with the Marines, so right now we’re exchanging tactics and improvements and lessons learned on how to do things.â€?

Manica said the Kearsarge crew has been just as welcoming and friendly as he remembers them to be. “The crew has always been really friendly and they accommodate you in anything that you need help with,� Manica said. “They don’t hold back.�

As the harrier ies off into the sky and completes its journey home, its not the end for Manica and his stay in America.

He will return to Cherry Point for another year to continue training and improving the combat capabilities of Marine Corps harrier pilots.

NRSW CPO FOUNDATION WRAPS ‘FOUNDRY’ TRAINING

By MC2 Christopher Lindahl Navy Public Affairs Support Element West

SAN DIEGO

A class of 51 Navy first class petty officers and two Air Force technical sergeants graduated from the Navy Region Southwest (NRSW) Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Foundation’s newest training program, known as The Foundry, Oct. 23.

The Foundry, a weeklong leadership training for those at the pay grade of E-6, draws many of its lessons from the leadership of heroes past and present – heroes who sacrificed themselves to ensure a better nation. From Navy SEALs, who selflessly smothered grenades to save their shipmates, to current personnel issues at small outpost commands, The Foundry discussed their stories. Mentors told the stories of real human beings who worked through unimaginable conflicts; Sailors who fought the enemy at sea, who provided humanitarian aid and disaster relief to those in need, and people who simply provided mentorship and guidance to someone in need.

“It’s been a really amazing experience, especially in the evenings when we do the ‘fireside chats,’” Chief Hospital Corpsman Tristan Cavender said, one of the mentors who is assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Expeditionary Support Unit One. “We break out into smaller groups, so it’s not really structured, there’s not necessarily an outline to follow. It’s really an opportunity for these Sailors to vent a little bit – and some of them have had huge breakthroughs.”

The Foundry is not set up to tell people how to lead. Its intention is to share stories of leadership. From walking the Fort Rosecrans Cemetery and sharing stories of heroes past, to listening to current military and civilian

BUSAN

The U.S. 7th Fleet and Commander of Republic of Korea Fleet (COMROKFLT) bands held a joint concert in Busan to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the ROK navy, Oct. 22.

The concert, attended by more than 2,000 U.S. and ROK sailors and guests, highlighted the longstanding partnership of the U.S. and ROK navy bands.

“It’s been very rewarding to perform again with the [U.S. 7th Fleet] band especially today, because we are celebrating the birth of our navy,” OK Musician 1st Class Seo, Incheol said.

The concert marked the fourth time since 2012 that both bands have played together in Korea.

“It’s been great to play with the [COMROKFLT] band again,” said Chief Mu-

Mario Lemieux, National Hockey League Hall of Famer and Pittsburgh Penguins owner, and his wife, Nathalie, participated in a ribbon cutting and official dedication ceremony. The family was also joined by Rear Adm. Terry J. Moulton, commander of Navy Medicine East, and Capt. Rick Freedman, the hospital commanding officer.

Freedman explained how important it is to take care of and ensure readiness aboard the base. He also emphasized how the playroom will play an integral part in that mission.

“There is no surer way to make a combat ready Marine, Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Guardsman more ineffective than to have them worry about their loved one,” Freedman said, as he lamented over his own experience with a sick child.

His oldest daughter was born and spent a considerable amount of time in intensive care. They had a toddler son who acted like most toddlers. He explained that juggling a toddler and with his worry over his newborn was difficult. “Perhaps if we were there today, with a beautiful Austin’s playroom at the National Military Medical Center at Bethesda, it might have been different.

Richardson participated in a panel discussion which focused on the symposium’s main theme, “Enhancing maritime security in the wider Mediterranean.”

The event included two sessions, the first focusing on the wider spectrum of maritime challenges, while the second focused on improving maritime security through dialogue and cooperation.

Richardson, on the tail end of a nearly two-week international trip, cited the insight he gained from his discussions with U.S. naval forces and international counterparts.

HE ELLALE OOTH

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Contributor

I was nervous, dreadfully nervous.

True, the tooth had haunted me both day and night, but my senses were only sharpened, not destroyed. I was certainly not mad. In fact, my awareness was so acute as to render me excruciatingly sane.

So listen carefully, ye with endodontic woes, and hear the ghoulish story on this All Hallows’ Eve. ...

Oh, the nerve of that dreaded tooth! An angry nerve, indeed. I cannot claim credit for the murderous idea; it was my dentist who suggested that I schedule a root canal.

Oct. 21, I arrived promptly at 9:30 a.m. in the endodontist’s waiting room. Like a snake charmer, his assistant lead me down a narrow passage to an oxblood red vinyl chair in the surgical chamber, scattered with various metal instruments and machines.

Suddenly, the doctor appeared at my side like an apparition. Wearing an ominous surgical mask and cap, I could only see his vexing blue eyes ... which is why I didn’t notice the tiny tire iron he was wielding in his latexsheathed hand.

“Let’s confirm that Tooth Number Three is our culprit,” he said, before wrapping the metal instrument three times against my tender molar like he was chipping ice for his martini.

The inflamed pulp shot searing daggers into my battered nerves.

“Unghhh!” I groaned, giving him the confir-

mation he needed to begin the lethal procedure.

The doctor administered the first shots of Novocain into my gums with such an angel’s touch, I was wholly unprepared for the poisoned pitchfork he thrust mercilessly into the roof of my mouth.

While the injected anesthetic seeped into my cells, the assistant – is her back slightly hunched? – scurried around the chamber, preparing me for the wretched task at hand. She lassoed Tooth Number Three with a “rubber dam” that covered the rest of my mouth like a miniature tarp. I feared I might suffocate if the Rubber of the Damned suctioned against my nervously heaving nostrils.

Finally, Assistant Hunchback jammed a doorstop between my back molars to make it impossible for me to scream.

With Tooth Number Three sufficiently numbed, the doctor extended a monstrous mechanical arm from the wall, lowering the Hubble Space Telescope over my face. With his evil blue eye peering into the complex series of magnifying lenses, I wondered if I’d be burned alive like a helpless insect on a sidewalk.

As much as it had abused me over the last several weeks, I was not entirely convinced that Tooth Number Three should be sentenced to death. It had served me faithfully since my youth – through braces, fillings, unpopped kernels, Sugar Daddies, pistachio shells, and night grinding. Is it really necessary to strip the thing of its life-giving innards in such a barbaric way?

My eyes darted from Assistant Hunchback

Lisa Smith Molinari

to Doctor Evil Eye, trying in vain to communicate my reluctance. But, alas, it was of no use.

All I could do was lie back as they committed the dastardly deed, listening to the quickening flamenco melody oozing from the chamber’s sound system.

Assistant Hunchback passed Doctor Evil Eye a series of hideous instruments – probes, forceps, clamps, excavators. A switch was flipped, and through the whir and grind of the drill, I could hear the frantic strumming of a rosewood guitar.

A puff of putrid dust rose from my hollowed molar, exposing its inflamed pulp. With the Hubble Space Telescope in my face, I could only smell the odor of household bleach and burnt flesh, and see the glint of metal probes.

The Andulasians stamped their feet to the ricocheting guitar strings, while Doctor Evil Eye reamed bits of meat from the bloody canals. Tooth Number Three would not surrender easily. The clapping dancer whirled to a frenzied crescendo as the doctor made one last stabbing probe deep into the root.

“Ole!” spurted from the speakers just as the last nerve ending was plucked, and the deed was done.

Nevermore will I open a bottle with my molars!

Misawa hosts COMPASS class for spouses

By MC3 Samuel Weldin Naval Air Facility Misawa

MISAWA, JAPAN

Naval Air Facility Misawa hosted a COMPASS class for military spouses, both new and veteran, Oct. 22.

Before joining the eet, new Sailors spend months going through basic training, indoctrination, and rating schools so that they are prepared for Navy life. However, a Sailor’s spouse often gets no indoctrination to being married to the military. But, there is a solution; the COMPASS program.

COMPASS is a spouse-to-spouse mentoring program, explains Johanna Lovendale, the Navy Misawa COMPASS team leader and a 15-year Navy spouse, and Navy mom.

She says the program offers the answers to the questions that spouses need to know.

Although COMPASS can point new Navy spouses in the right direction, veteran spouses can take something from the program too. “I don’t care if you’ve been married to your Sailor for a week or for 20 years,� Lovendale says. “You will leave this workshop a whole lot smarter about Navy life.�

Alongside Lovendale, several Navy spouses volunteer to help the program and speak on numerous topics including permanent change of station, communication, naval history, pay and beneďŹ ts, etiquette, and living in Misawa.

A spouse can learn from the COMPASS program, but

This award encourages us to continue our endeavors to excel in all related areas of lodging services.�

MC3 Samuel Weldin Noelle Howitt and Johanna Lovendale, Navy spouses, lead a COMPASS class for military dependents at Navy Air Facility Misawa. The COMPASS program is for Navy spouses to familiarize themselves with all the Navy has to offer their Sailor and their family.

they can also increase their network. The class explains that sometimes spouses can feel isolated or disconnected, but when they come here, they see they are not alone and that there are people here to help. “The Misawa COMPASS Team now includes Japanese,

Tagalog and Spanish translators and mentors in order to overcome the language and cultural barriers that some spouses may ďŹ nd when relocating away from home,â€? said Lovendale. “We are trying to make it as inviting as possible, so that no one feels left out.â€?

NOAA METEOROLOGIST SPEAKS, PERFORMS AT NAVY HISPANIC HERITAGE EVENT

Navy to participate in Veterans Week NYC 2015

By John Joyce NSWC Dahlgren Division Corporate Communications

DAHLGREN, VA.

Isha Renta watched as Hurricane Hugo tracked toward Puerto Rico in 1989 and after all the devastation, wondered how it happened.

“I remember asking myself, at such a young age, what I could do to help my people and reduce the damage,” Renta said.

That’s when Renta, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) meteorologist, started dreaming of becoming a meteorologist.

She pursued her dream by studying mathematics at the University of Puerto Rico and graduating with a bachelor’s degree. Renta then studied meteorology at Howard University, receiving her master’s degree in Atmospheric Sciences. Now, she supports the national weather service mission to save life and property, while working on a doctoral degree in Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Maryland.

“They say that you choose a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life,” Renta said, speaking at the Hispanic Heritage Observance held at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD), Oct. 7. “Those who know me are aware that I’m always talking about what’s going on with the weather and fascinated about the atmosphere and its phenomena.”

Renta joined local Navy leaders to celebrate Hispanic Heritage with Dahlgren personnel at the University of Mary Washington Dahlgren campus.

With a national theme of “Hispanic Americans: Energizing Our Nation’s Diversity,” the observance celebrated the histories, cultures, and contributions of Americans who trace their roots to Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

“Hispanic Americans have served our nation throughout our history and fought at sea in every American war,” said Capt. Mary Feinburg, commanding officer of Naval Sup-

Navy Office of Information East Public Affairs NEW YORK CITY

More than 400 U.S. Navy Sailors will participate in Veterans Week New York City (NYC) 2015 from Nov. 8-13, to honor the service and sacrifice of all American veterans.

Sailors from local commands in Manhattan, the Bronx, Long Island and New Jersey will be joined by Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Ray Mabus; Rear Adm. Cynthia Thebaud, commander of Expeditionary Strike Group 2; and the captain and crew of USS NewYork (LPD 21), who recently returned from deployment in the Middle East.

The New York, a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship, contains 7.5 tons of steel reclaimed from the World Trade Center after the attacks on 9/11. This will mark the ship’s second visit to its namesake city since its commissioning on Nov. 7, 2009. New York has a crew of 360 men and women, and can carry up to 700 Marines and equipment.

Veterans Week NYC 2015 and America’s Parade are presented by the United War Veterans Council to honor the sacrifices and service of all veterans. America’s Parade is the largest Veterans Day event in NYC and has been held annually since 1919.

“It is important for us to remember the sacrifices of our veterans, not only on Veterans Day, but throughout the year. Their contribution to the birth, growth and future of this nation should be recognized and appreciated by all,” Mabus said. “Sailors and Marines have defended America’s interests around the world for 240 years, and the men and women of today’s Navy and Marine Corps team continue to carry on the legacy forged by the sacrifices of past and present veterans who have stood the watch since our country’s founding.”

The SECNAV expressed excitement for the upcoming opportunity to celebrate our nation’s service members.

“I look forward to visiting New York City to take part in this great city’s Veterans Day observances as we pause to reflect on the sacrifices and contributions our veterans have made to this country,” Mabus added. “And to thank the countless communities, organizations, and large and small businesses around the country that provide unwavering support to those serving and those who have served.”

Sailors will take part in activities throughout the city, including city tours, sporting events, Veterans Week remembrances, and marching in America’s Parade.

“I’m delighted that USS New York is available to return to her namesake and take part in its celebration of the efforts, achievement,s and sacrifices of our nation’s Veterans,” Thebaud said. “Their dedication and commitment to the United States touches every aspect of our proud nation and this magnificent city.”

port Activity South Potomac.

“Their roles have included seamen, 4-star admirals, boatswain’s mates, corpsmen, fighter pilots, doctors, nuclear engineers, policy makers – and of course, meteorologists.”

Renta then discussed with the audience another cultural milestone she was able to realize. The NOAA meteorologist achieved her cultural dream by founding Semilla Cultural (Cultural Seed), a non-profit organization dedicated to cultivating a community that embraces diversity by educating, promoting and disseminating Puerto Rican culture and traditions.

The Dahlgren audience enjoyed the “Bomba” music and dance performed by Renta and her Semilla Cultural volunteers, which include NSWCDD scientists and engineers.

Renta started the organization in 2014 to teach and perform traditional Puerto Rican musical genres while educating the community about historical events that shaped the music.

Since Semilla Cultural’s humble beginning in Renta’s basement, its volunteers have been engaged in a whirlwind of public and private classes, workshops, and performanc-

es to bring cultural awareness to the state of Virginia.

Recently, the group was invited by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to perform in Washington, D.C. Semilla Cultural’s performance at the Sept. 27 extravaganza streamed live over the internet and “made my cultural dream come true,” Renta said.

“In 21 months, it has been a great adventure,” she added. “It has not been easy and it’s been overwhelming sometimes … But when I saw what happened at the Kennedy Center, I said ‘yes, it’s worth it.’”

Renta, a former NSWCDD employee, and the audience agreed that Dahlgren’s Hispanic Heritage event was informative and worthwhile.

“I have personally received rave feedback,” said Eunice Mercado, NSWCDD Hispanic employment program manager. “The performers all showcased their culture, music and dance and the appreciation of it was evidenced by the overwhelmingly positive response from everyone who attended.”

Renta explained her science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) + arts = STEAM

formula for the audience.

“I’m a very strong advocate of STEM and a very strong advocate of arts,” Renta said.

“STEM gives you critical thinking, problem solving, persistence, collaboration, and curiosity. Arts give you social development and the creativity you need for problem solving, academic performance and critical thinking. The arts also give you intellectual development for your curiosity and out of the box thinking for the problem solving part of STEM. They are not mutually exclusive – they actually go together.

And when they go together, you get magic.”

Renta applies this STEAM magic at outreach events from San Juan, Puerto Rico, to Fredericksburg, Virginia, where she teaches students about the “wonders of weather” and keeping their homes safe during hurricanes.

“You can be passionate about science and the arts without sacrificing either one,” Mercado said. “Many of us think that it’s too risky to follow our dreams, but Isha opened our eyes to other possibilities. It takes magic to achieve everything she has done so early in her career. But as Isha said, it is the combination of STEM and the arts which creates that magic – also known as STEAM. Those final remarks were very welcomed by the audience. In my opinion they were the perfect ending to summarize how the passion and dedication of Hispanics have come to ignite our nation’s diversity.”

Hispanic Heritage Month first started in 1968 as National Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon B. Johnson, and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15.

The date of Sept. 15 is significant because it is the Independence Day for five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days Sept. 16 and Sept.

18 respectively.

Today nearly 70,000 Sailors and civilians of Hispanic heritage are serving in the Navy, making up approximately 11 percent of the Navy’s active, reserve and civilian forces.

Navy COOL launches new website Center for Information Dominance Public Affairs PENSACOLA, FLA.

Navy Credentialing Opportunities On-line (COOL), a program providing Sailors a way to take the skills they have learned on the job and translate them into civilian credentials, introduced a new website Oct. 16.

“We’ve made things easier to read, easier to find, and easier to use, whether you’re at your desk or on your phone,” said Keith Boring, Navy COOL program manager. “We know today’s Sailors look for information in different ways, and we want to make sure that information about this very important program is accessible to them, wherever they are and however they are connected online.”

Navy COOL helps Sailors find information on certifications and licenses related to their jobs and can even provide funding to pay for credential exams and maintenance fees.

The website upgrades include a responsive design that adapts to the device a Sailor chooses to use to explore the site, whether on a desktop, tablet or phone.

Interactive credential tables also give Sailors more tools when looking at credentials related to their rate, designator or collateral duty.

Applying filters and sorting and searching by key words help create customized, printable lists.

“We reorganized the content, too” said Boring. “All of the supporting information on COOL, from the credentialing steps along the

top of each page to the pages you access from the top navigation bar, has been redesigned and rewritten to make it easier to understand credentialing and what it means to you. Most importantly, it makes it easier for you to understand what you need to do to get a credential.”

A new site-wide search box also provides results in three tabs, showing all results, military occupations on summary pages and COOL credential snapshots pages.

Along with the Navy COOL website, the Department of the Navy COOL portal site has also been updated.

The Navy COOL office is located at the Center for Information Dominance (CID) based at Corry Station – a part of Naval Air Station

Pensacola. CID is the Navy’s learning center that leads, manages and delivers Navy and joint forces training in information operations, information warfare, information technology, cryptology and intelligence.

With nearly 1,300 military, civilian and contracted staff members, CID provides training for approximately 22,000 members of the U.S. armed services and allied forces each year. CID oversees the development and administration of more than 200 courses at four commands, two detachments and 12 learning sites throughout the U.S. and Japan.

know of all those possibilities.”

ANNAPOLIS, MD.

The U.S. Naval Academy’s (USNA) Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Center for Education and Outreach hosted a girls-only STEM workshop for middle school-age girls Oct. 17.

More than 230 girls from surrounding counties and neighboring states attended the day-long workshop.

Parents, midshipmen and faculty worked with the girls to provide hands-on activities in subjects such as aerospace engineering, biology, and physics. The goal was to empower students through confidencebuilding team exercises and present the opportunities and possibilities in STEM careers.

“Research shows that 6th, 7th, and 8th grade girls are particularly affected by their environment and peers,” said mechanical engineering Professor Angela

The STEM Center reaches 8,000-9,000 girls each year through a variety of programs. Its faculty said they want to make sure those girls are left with a lasting impression that is continually reinforced.

“It has to be a three-way message. We engage the girls, we speak with the parents, and we interact with

about 1,000 teachers a year, trying to ensure the sustainability and encouragement of STEM inside of the classroom,” said Moran. “Our events are always a very rewarding experience, we see these young girls go from saying ‘I can’t do that,’ to an hour later saying ‘I didn’t know I could do that.’”

The workshop consisted of hour-long modules testing various student-built designs. Midshipmen and faculty oversaw and demonstrated hands-on projects that showcased rocket design, meteorology, mathematical computation for music, and more.

“From a young age, I feel like there can be some discouragement for girls to work in a STEM field,” said Midshipman 2nd Class David Dedios, a mechanical engineering major and STEM volunteer. “It’s really important for them to get these experiences because these fields should be as diversified as possible.”

The introduction or reinforcement of STEM fields as future career paths can help young girls decide in which direction to focus their high school and college studies.

“When I was young, I was very interested in math and science. When I went to college, I met freshmen who were engineering majors, and I had never even heard of engineering as a major. I wondered how they even knew what an engineer was at the age of 17. We want to prevent that,” said chemistry Professor Sarah Durkin. “I think it’s great to inspire girls at this age, and if you don’t know something exists, you can’t work towards that as a goal.”

USS GERMANTOWN VISITS HONG KONG

HONG KONG

The amphibious dock landing ship USS Germantown (LSD 42), with embarked elements of the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines, conducted a ďŹ ve-day quality-of-life port visit to the Chinese territory. After completing an arduous operational patrol of multinational exercises with regional partners over the summer and fall, the Sailors and Marines were ready to support theater security initiatives by engaging with the local community and taking in the sights and culture of Hong Kong.

While there was time to enjoy a respite from the operational schedule, Germantown’s crew also took advantage of the opportunities provided to interact with the local commu-

nity by conducting ship tours and taking part in several community relation (COMREL) projects. Two COMREL projects were held at Sheng Kung Hui (SKH) Tsoi Kung Po and SKH Holy Carpenter schools that allowed service members to leave lasting impressions with the youth that will help bridge our cultures. The ship tours, with several local organizations and supporters, were also a great engagement opportunity for the community – particularly the Boy Scouts and Sea Cadets, as young minds were provided initial exposure to the challenges and rewards of leadership. “These community engagements truly are a unique opportunity for the entire crew,â€? said Cmdr. Gary Harrington, Germantown’s commanding ofďŹ cer. “They enable Sailors and Marines to not only take a well-deserved

More than 70 Sailors and Marines offered up their time and service during this port of call, adding to the already signiďŹ cant number of volunteer hours contributed during this deployment. Whether it was acting as a guide during a ship tour or visiting with local volunteers for Meals in the Home (MITH) exchange, the service members aboard Ger-

mantown were eager to link with the gracious hosts in Hong Kong. “It was very interesting to learn about their culture and talk to the children in the school,� said Personnel Specialist 1st Class Mark Gregorio, a COMREL volunteer. “As a young child in the Philippines, I experienced multiple encounters with missionaries and volunteer workers. This opportunity made me feel like I was giving back what had been given to me.�

The MITH program was a unique COMREL opportunity for the Germantown Sailors and Marines to take part in. MITH is a long-standing program where local community members sponsor service members to visit their residences or to join in a group tour of some cultural or scenic destination. “I had the chance to try a Chinese meal during a Jewish dinner with a local family,� said Operations Specialist 3rd Class Annie Hall. “These exchanges helped us to better understand the day-to-day lives of people in some of the ports we visit, since we don’t usually get to go into their homes.�

“Every time we play, both bands walk away with a stronger bond and I hope we can continue to strengthen this friendship.”

Musician Seaman Emily Kershaw, of U.S. 7th Fleet Band, echoed McGowan’s sentiments and believes she always finds a great sense of comradery by playing with other military musicians.

“When we leave,” Kershaw said, “I think both the U.S. and ROK sailors will be going back with a stronger sense of partnership and the ability to incorporate some of each other’s culture into their own.”

For some band members like ROK Musician 3rd Class Hwang, Young-Jun, the musical collaboration is always memorable.

“I’ll never forget this experience,” Hwang said. “I hope we continue to get together and perform along with our U.S. band mates.”

Continued from B1 “What becomes clear on such a trip, is that in each place that is stopped, there is a growing sense of the importance of the maritime domain as a global system that seamlessly and effectively connects global nations,” Richardson said.

“Our economies, our people, our access to resources, our markets all flow on the superhighway that we call part of the global commons.”

Richardson stated that the seas

however are no longer the only medium that connects people around the world.

“There is a new system,” Richardson said. “A vast global information network that also binds us together. As seamless as the oceans, with a structure and flow all its own.”

He went on to add that one “only has to consider the explosion in cyber, electromagnetic and unmanned technologies to get a sense of what I am talking about.”

Richardson stated that navies are fundamentally important to governing the increasing activity and competition occurring at sea.

“This is exactly the terrific work I saw being done by the multinational naval coalitions – by your navies – around the world,” Richardson said.

Richardson told those in attendance that there were three purposes of naval forces in the modern maritime domain: to promote and protect freedom of the seas; advocate for

and demonstrate the benefits of international laws and standards; and to deter conflict and coercion.

Richardson closed by noting that there was one universal factor that served as the cornerstone of the day’s discussions regarding the security environment and technical possibilities.

FOUNDRY

Playroom for ages three - 12

MC2 A.J. Jones The interior of the “Austin’s Playroom,” located in the NH-200 Clinic Annex, Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune, houses a multitude of entertainment options for children of all ages, Oct. 20.

“It’s really good. I’d rather come here with this playroom and play, than go to a place that doesn’t have a playroom at all,” Kainana Contreras said, a 9-year-old from North Top Sail. “I really liked the hockey game.”

Each room is equipped with creative and visually appealing furniture that makes the centers more like home.

“We are very conscientious about trying to provide stimulating areas in each of our rooms, and when you look around the playroom, you will see an area for imaginative play, a place for caregivers to rest, as well as an area for older children to hang out,” Nancy Angus said, executive director for the foundation. “They can play bubble hockey, do homework – they can be comfortable doing things they would do in their own home.”

This is exactly what the foundation hopes for. In fact, the idea of fun has benefited healthcare all the way around.

“Camp Pendleton has seen a 30 percent increase in patients who keep their appointments, since its Austin’s Playroom was established last year,” Nathalie said. “We have seen the same thing with our hospital emergency room playrooms.“ There is a bit of a tactical aspect to the playroom from a parent’s perspective.

It will make it easier for parents who are left alone during deployment to take their children to appointments, Major Gen. William D. Beydler said, commanding officer for II Marine Expeditionary Force.

“They might actually feel more capable of making appointments.”

The playroom project is a part of the Mario Lemieux Foundation, which was created in 1993 when Mario was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease. While battling cancer, Mario continued to establish a new NHL scoring record. Lemieux amassed 613 goals and 1,494 points in 745 regular season games while capturing a multitude of individual awards and accolades, according the Hockey Hall of Fame website.

He is now 22 years cancer free and on a mission to find a cure for cancer. The Lemieux Foundation, a Section 501(c) (3) organization, is dedicated to raising funds for cancer research and patient care, as well as Austin’s Playroom Project.

Donations are key to funding the $100,000 playroom.

One particular organization had an integral part in raising the money for the military installations playroom projects.

“We are a small group who raise money in response to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. We got involved five years ago and host annual fundraisers that we split between Wouned Warriors and the Military Playroom projects,” Marcy Westwood said, a board member for Western Pennsylvania Friends of Wounded Warrior. “We are looking forward to doing more. We are always looking forward to support. We need warriors.”

day, this is a human endeavor fueled by trust and confidence.”

RSS is the leading forum in the wider Mediterranean region, hosting the largest gathering of navy leaders, organizations and agencies with a key role in the maritime dimension. This year’s event was attended by 49 navies and 10 organizations and agencies.

Richardson became the 31st CNO, Sept. 18, serving as the Navy’s most senior officer, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a principal advisor to the secretary of the Navy, secretary of the defense and the President.

Continued from B1 hospital, perhaps would have enabled all of us to visit Jessica as a family.“ The third of its kind established on a military installation and 32nd overall, the playroom is a place for children to play and relax during stressful situations. Built to accommodate children ages three to 12, the playroom features toys, books, games and other activities. The concept for the playroom stems from Lemieux’s own personal experiences shortly after the birth of their son Austin, who spent 71 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit after being born premature.

While they were caring for Austin, there was nothing to engage his sisters, who were both toddlers at the time. It was then Mario and Nathalie realized a need for playrooms and began their plan to establish Austin’s Playroom Project.

“Mario and I are excited to open this new military playroom in the new Naval Hospital Clinic Annex at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune,” Nathalie said. “This is our third military playroom, and a great honor to have a room here. It is my hope that this playroom provides the necessary healing and comfort for these very special military families.”

The playroom will serve the more than 75,000 active-duty Marines and their families, as well as wounded warriors, veterans and their families in the Jacksonville area.

“When you see the little children come in with their huge smiles on their face, it lets you know you’ve done something right,” Nathalie said.

Smiles were all around, as children checked out the educational books, toys and games.

leaders speaking of their own stories, The Foundry simply aims to inspire.

“I didn’t really come in with a lot of specific expectations on what it was going to be. I wasn’t real familiar with what The Foundry was about or what the leadership concepts were going to be. If I assumed anything, I thought it would be more like a heritage academy,” Cavender said. “I’ve been in 22 years and this is one of the few times that I have been a part of a group and thought, ‘this is really something.’ This is something that, when it catches fire and the word gets out, I really see it exploding and getting implemented earlier in the career process.”

Cavender is one of 10 mentors for this class of The Foundry, all between the pay grades of E-7 to E-9. The mentors were tasked with shaping and molding the attendees into future leaders – people who will turn orders from above into a realized solution on the ground. The Foundry looks to forge and instill the heroic qualities of people such as Master-at-Arms 2nd Class Michael Anthony Monsoor, a Navy SEAL Medal of Honor recipient, who perished after diving on and covering a grenade to save his shipmates.

Even to a brief observer, it becomes obvious that the chiefs, senior chiefs, and master chiefs at The Foundry are truly interested and invested in the future of their Sailors. They did not do this for bullet points on their next evaluation or to make themselves appear superior to their counterparts. They applied for this opportunity to enhance the Navy as a whole. They believe in the value of leadership and realize the true impact that it can have on people’s lives.

“This is the most incredible leadership program that I have ever attended. Ever.”

Logistics Specialist 1st Class Robert Walker said. “I think that there should be a lot more people that should know about this. It could really help and change our military for the better in the way they create leaders.”

Air Force Tech. Sgts. Stephanie Chastain and Mark Philpott, both assigned to Naval Consolidated Brig, Miramar in San Diego, California, were taken in by the NRSW CPO Foundation for The Foundry and expressed extreme gratitude for it.

“It was an honor to even be a part, the Navy has been great with us and I just can’t say enough how honored I am to have the opportunity,” Chastain said.

Philpott said he found the training to be deep, inspirational and exceptional.

“I feel like I’ve never gotten any thing like this anywhere else,” Philpott said. “I

feel I can take so much back with me to share with the rest of the Air Force.”

Philpot reflected on the sense of humanity, respect and deep honor with the cemetery walks, hardly able to express in words the meaningfulness.

The success of Foundry was accomplished not only from the fireside chats and cemetery walks but also from the quality of the volunteer speakers.

One particular standout, Chris Van Gorder, a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives (FACHE) and president and CEO of Scripps Health.

Van Gorder’s rise to the top of one of the nations leading health care providers was unexpected and unconventional. He began in the security department with Scripps Health after being medically retired from the Los Angeles Police Department. One day he was thrust into the helm in an interim capacity. That was in the year 2000 when the company was nearly bankrupt.

Since then, with Van Gorder still at the helm, Scripps Health had made the Forbes Magazine “Top 100 Companies to Work For” list eight times and remains a major staple in the healthcare industry.

“For me just taking just an hour or two out of my time to spend time with future navy leaders, that an investment in the future. I am truly honored to be able to come spend a couple hours with you,” Van Gorder said.

“I’m still a grunt, I’m still a street cop, and that’s never really changed. I don’t think any differently than I did when I was a front line employee or a cop. I really don’t. I have a different title and a different salary, but I never forgot that what’s most important is the work you are actually doing.”

An experienced speaker and storyteller, Van Gorder held the room almost completely silent for his near two-hour speech, as seemingly everyone waited with bated breath to hear what he would say next.

“I was engaged the whole time, I couldn’t really take my eyes off of him – with everything he was saying, it’s definitely going to make a change in my leadership,” Walker said. “He completely changed my mindset on what it is to run and organization and to lead people, it’s incredible.”

The real challenge of the future for The Foundry may not be maintaining the quality of speakers and strength of their curriculum, but it may lie in controlling the demand.

“It’s not only to build more effective Navy leaders, but to build more leaders in general,” said Foundry committee member Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman Ric Bolton, assigned to Naval Medical Center San Diego, California.

WILLIAMSBURG DINNER THEATRE – A DELIGHTFUL FIND

By Seymour Simon III Contributing writer

On a recent visit to Williamsburg, Virginia, I came across a delightful find. Williamsburg Dinner Theatre, located inside the Williamsburg Quality Inn and Suites at 5351 Richmond Rd. I was intrigued to find out that every Friday night at 7:30 p.m., a scrumptious buffet dinner and an enchanting murder mystery comedy is offered to the enjoyment of those in attendance.

The menu is a grand buffet meal served with a classic salad, and includes: succulent pork tenderloin or beef entrée, plump and tender poultry, mouthwatering local baked fish. With a house choice of side dishes, such as: roasted potatoes, aromatic grilled vegetables and rice pilaf and finally toped of with a desert specialty of the house.

The current production I found out is A Midsummer Night’s Scream, written by Paul Vander Roest. It is a pun-filled murder mystery, with lovable characters that fully engage their guests and audience members in their shenanigans. Unfortunately, someone with more sinister intentions is also in attendance. Who will survive? Solve the murder for prizes, laughs and fun!

It runs through November 20th.

I also found out that the cast pulls double duty as the waiters and staff.

They are made up of: Sheree Press, Cole Shumaker, Vincent Marcanthony Joe, Kelly Flick, Gabrielle Montrond, Eugene Paolo Macalma, and Sarah Jones. The play is directed by Aliki Marie Pantas, who graciously welcomed me into their rehearsal after I explained my purpose of wanting to write an article about the Williamsburg Dinner Theatre.

Pantas: What is unique about our dinner theatre is the abundant inclusion of audience participation and an audience sing-a-long that encourages creativity and that’s fun for the entire family! In the spirit of Halloween, we are encouraging our audience to come in costume as your favorite character, or celebrity.

I have enjoyed seeing our cast develop these quirky characters! They keep me laughing in rehearsal and with their performances. They do the same with our audiences as well.

They are truly amazing and we are blessed to work together. They have worked so hard in a short period of time. I am so proud of my cast and our amazing show A Midsummer Night’s Scream.

The actors welcomed me into their fold and willingly shared their thoughts about their dinner theatre experiences.

Shumaker: This is a homemade and passionate company made of a group of people who want nothing more than for every single audience member to leave with a full belly and a lighter heart. This is homegrown fun at its most sincere and we love doing it.

Our Williamsburg Dinner Theatre is a welcomed reprieve from the monotony of normality as a night out. It is alive. You will never see the same show twice. Sure, the plot and story arc will be the same but that isn’t the point. The life comes from the moment-to-moment ebb and flow of the story unfolding. Will a handsome couple be celebrating a cornerstone of life and love in your presence?

Will someone’s wig fall off? Or perhaps that skinny guy will finally break a hip when being thrown. Who knows. Hey, I don’t know and I work with them.

Flick: In all my years of theatre I have never been in a show with such a strong audience interaction. It has been a truly amazing experience. Every audience is different and thus each show has a special magic that can’t be repeated. At one point in the show I take a ‘selfie’ with a table and I was scared that they wouldn’t be receptive. However, every night they smile, pose, and really enjoy the moment.

I also feel like I have made some fantastic friends in the process. The superb cast has been great fun to work with. I have learned so much from each and every one of them.

Montrond: It is very rewarding and wonderful to see our audiences

get into it. I cannot help but smile whenever I see the audience joyful or laughing about something that we have said or when we are serving and busing in character. There is no feeling like it, and I truly am blessed to say that I am a part of this wonderful cast and family. Over the last month, everyone in the cast has become extremely close and has truly become a family. I remember one time, our chef could not find his mustache, so, all the girls banded together and quickly began drawing on his face with eyeliner so that he could still salvage his favorite part of the costume.

Jones: I have fallen in love with this form of theater! My favorite part of performing live has always been the audience. Hearing their reactions and then getting to speak with them immediately after the show and learning how the story impacted them is what keeps me going as an actor. One of the things that make this dinner theater special is that the audience members are participants in the show. As an actor, getting to engage the audience directly and mingling with them makes it a truly original and wonderful experience.

“I love Roest’s script!” Pantas said with a glee. “His satirical characters and puns on Shakespeare’s plays will have you dying from laughter! Come see if ‘all’s well that ends well.’”

I am doing just that. I cannot wait to partake in the total experience: full buffet and an interactive play where I get to laugh and solve a murder. Who can ask for anything more!

Arts in Virginia Beach.

Tales of Hemingway for Ticket prices begin at Cello and Orchestra was $25. For tickets, call commissioned by the NashVSO Patron Services at ville Symphony Orchestra 892-6366 or visit www. and a consortium consisting virginiasymphony.org. of the Asheville Symphony, El Paso Symphony Orchestra, Erie Philharmonic, Redwood Symphony and the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. The world premiere was given by the Nashville Symphony Orchestra on April 17, at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, with Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor, and Zuill Bailey, cello.

“Tales of Hemingway for Cello and Orchestra evokes the turbulent life, adventures, and literature of American author and journalist Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961). His terse, direct, accessible writing style, combined with a mastery of dialogue and brilliant use of omission and repetition, made him one of the most influential and original writers of the 20th century,” Daugherty said. “Hemingway’s distinctive body of work was also informed by his larger-than-life experiences.”

The program opens with Jacques Ibert’s naval-inspired Ports of Call, which can be found on the VSO’s Seascapes CD, and concludes with the featured composition, Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations.

Enigma Variations explores a theme and variations that illustrate, according to Elgar, “the idiosyncrasies of 14 of my friends, not necessarily musicians.” Under the direction of JoAnn Falletta, the VSO performed this well-known work during a concert at Carnegie Hall in 1997.

The performance at Chrysler Hall has been partially underwritten by Barbara Spigel, in memory of her husband, Herman A. Spigel.

The Virginia Symphony Orchestra Norfolk Classics series is sponsored by Norfolk Southern.

Zuill Bailey, widely considered one of the premiere cellists in the world, is a distinguished soloist, recitalist, artistic director and teacher. His rare combination of celebrated artistry, technical wizardry and engaging personality, has secured his place as one of the most sought after and active cellists today.

Bailey received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Peabody Conservatory and the Juilliard School. Zuill Bailey was named the 2014 Johns Hopkins University Distinguished Alumni. His primary teachers include Loran Stephenson, Stephen Kates and Joel Krosnick. Bailey performs on the “rosette” 1693 Matteo Gofriller Cello, formerly owned by Mischa Schneider of the Budapest String Quartet. In addition to his extensive touring engagements, he is the artistic director of El Paso Pro-Musica, in Texas; the Sitka Summer Music Festival/Series and Cello Seminar, in Alaska; the Northwest Bach Festival, in Washington; guest artistic director of the Mesa Arts Center, in Arizona; and Professor of Cello at the University of Texas at El Paso.

Under the leadership of Grammy Award-winning music director, JoAnn Falletta, the Virginia Symphony Orchestra is southeastern Virginia’s pre-eminent professional symphony orchestra with a mission of inspiring, educating and connecting audiences of all ages.

Rock ‘n’ Roll Express’s Ricky Morton Talks Wrestling In Norfolk

By Yiorgo Contributing Writer

Courtesy of NASCAR Joey Logano crossed the finish line at Talladega Superspeedway first in his third Sprint Cup race in a row.

LOGANO FENDS OFF JUNIOR AS DRIVERS SPIN OUT AT TALLADEGA FINISH LINE

By Rick Minter Universal Uclick

Joey Logano held off a surging Dale Earnhardt Jr. in an abbreviated green-white-checkered-flag run to the finish of the CampingWorld.com 500 at Talladega Superspeedway to complete a sweep of the three races of the Contender Round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup. It was his series-leading sixth win of the season and the 14th of his Sprint Cup career.

“I didn’t think it was possible, I can tell you that much,” Logano said of his sweep. “Come to Chase time, everyone is bringing their A-game, everything they got, the best they can, not only with their race cars, but every driver is trying to find that extra little bit. We’re in a performance business. If there’s a trophy, we’re supposed to get it. That’s our job.”

Behind Logano at the finish, drivers were spinning right and left, creating a chaotic situation that took NASCAR some time before officials decided which drivers would be advancing to the Eliminator Round, which begins this weekend at Martinsville Speedway.

Logano, Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, Brad Keselowski, Martin Truex Jr., Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch will advance – Dale Earnhardt Jr., Ryan Newman, Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth will not.

At the center of the controversy after the race was Harvick, the defending series champion, whose No. 4 Chevrolet was running very slowly, apparently due to major problems with his engine.

Harvick, who needed a good finish to advance to the Eliminator Round, maintained his 12th position in line as the field headed to the start-finish line for the first try at a run to the checkered flag.

But before the leaders reached the start-finish line, Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Larson wrecked, so NASCAR officials determined that another attempt at a green-whitecheckered finish was warranted, explaining that the field

never officially got the green flag.

On the second attempt, Harvick was still struggling to gain speed. As the drivers behind him attempted to avoid his wounded ride, Harvick appeared to steer to the right, clipping the No. 6 of Trevor Bayne and bringing out the caution flag that effectively ended the race and established the finishing order. The drivers still circulated the track under the caution flag back to the finish line, but per the rules, could not advance their positions. It took several minutes for NASCAR to determine that Logano had beaten Dale Earnhardt Jr. for the win, as Earnhardt was surging forward when the fateful caution flag flew.

In his post-race comments, Earnhardt did not quibble with NASCAR decisions, and instead offered his support.

“I’m fine with it,” he said, adding that his failure to advance to the third of the four Chase rounds was due to more than just the finish at Talladega. “We didn’t do good enough in the first two races. I got wrecked by the 19 [Carl Edwards, at Charlotte] and didn’t run well at Kansas.”

Earnhardt said that despite the disappointment of the finish of the race, he was proud of his team’s effort.

“I’m more proud of the drive [on Oct. 25] than the two wins [earlier this year],” he said. “They came easier.”

Earnhardt also weighed in on the controversy surrounding Harvick’s decisions at the end of the race, saying a driver in that situation needs to give those behind him an escape route.

“I think you just got to get out of the way,” he said.

Kenseth laid the blame squarely on Harvick – and the NASCAR officials making the calls at the end.

“The 4 [Harvick] knew he was blown up, so he said he was going to stay in his lane, so the 6 [Trevor Bayne] then went up and outside and he clipped him and caused a wreck because he knew he’d make the Chase that way,” Kenseth said, adding that he wasn’t too happy with NASCAR’s decisions on the final two restarts. “I just feel like they lost total control of this whole thing. It’s not what racing is all about.”

Logano sweeps Contender Round, eight drivers advance to Eliminator Round Points standings and race results from the CampingWorld.com 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.

1. JOEY LOGANO (finished first) 4,000 points Logano’s the driver with all the momentum heading into the final four races of the season, but he angered Matt Kenseth at Kansas and again at Talladega. Two of the next tracks on the circuit, Martinsville Speedway and Phoenix International Raceway, are shorter tracks and often the site of retaliation for earlier incidents on faster tracks.

2. CARL EDWARDS (finished fifth) 4,000 points Edwards came away from Talladega with a Top-5 finish and a pass to the next Chase round, but his thoughts also were with his fellow drivers, including teammates Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin, who did not advance. “It’s frustrating to see guys that raced so hard and so well just barely miss the cut because of wrecks on the last lap,” Edwards said.

3. JEFF GORDON (finished third) 4,000 points In his final season, Gordon is poised to make a bid for his fifth Cup championship. “Since the Chase started … the momentum and the execution, the things that we weren’t doing earlier in the year – we are doing them all right now at the right time,” Gordon said. “Watch out.”

4. KURT BUSCH (finished 10th) 4,000 points After surviving the first two rounds of the Chase, Kurt Busch is ready to make a run for his second championship. “I’ve won at the final four tracks,” Busch said, adding that he likes the idea of being tied in points with the eight drivers who advanced to the Eliminator Round.

5. BRAD KESELOWSKI (finished fourth) 4,000 points Keselowski is relieved to have the Contender Round in his rear view mirror.

“This is, to me, the tough bracket to get through,” Keselowski said. “We tested Phoenix and were awesome. We finished second at Martinsville in the spring.”

6. MARTIN TRUEX JR. (finished seventh) 4,000 points Truex Jr. fell a lap off the pace in the first half of the race, but recovered to record his 20th Top-10 finish of the season. “It’s crazy how fast things can change and how much is out of your control,” Truex Jr. said.

7. KEVIN HARVICK (finished 15th) 4,000 points The defending series champion had some saying he intentionally wrecked Trevor Bayne at the finish to preserve his spot in the Chase. “I don’t know if I clipped [Bayne] or if he came across as I was coming up,” Harvick said.

8. KYLE BUSCH (finished 11th) 4,000 points Kyle Busch beat Ryan Newman by three points to claim the final transfer spot to the Eliminator Round. “However it was or is, it’s good if we’re in and we’re moving on,” he said. “That’s ... the farthest I’ve ever gone [in the Chase] before.”

Wrestling fans in the Hampton Roads area rejoice! For the first time since the 1980’s, Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat will be in a wrestling ring together here in Norfolk on Friday, Nov. 20, at the Norfolk Scope. Not only will they pose for pictures with the fans, they will also reminisce about their thousands of matches they had together throughout their careers and specifically at the Norfolk Scope.

Brought to you by Big Time Wrestling (BTW), they also have on the card The Rock n’ Roll Express Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson who will see action that night, as well as Scottie “2 Hotty” Garland facing off against Gangrel and so much more!

As a big fan of the Rock n’ Roll Express, I was excited to speak with Ricky Morton.

Yiorgo: Thank you Ricky, this is indeed a pleasure talking with you. How does it feel for you and Robert to be coming back to Norfolk and wrestling on top of that?

Ricky Morton: The pleasure is all mine. We are so excited to becoming back on Nov. 20, just like it was years ago. It will be a great night of wrestling and Robert and I will tear the place down. You know we are the longest lasting professional wrestling tag team in history, 34 years strong. Even though we might be older, we still wrestle like we did back in the 80s.

Y: Oh I’ll vouch for that! I had the distinct pleasure of seeing the two of you wrestle a little over a year ago and pardon the pun, you guys had the joint rocking and rolling!

R M: Thank you for that generous complement. We go to that ring to have fun and make sure the fans get their monies worth. You know my dad use to tell me, “Son, if you enjoy what you do in life, you will never work a day in your life.” I absolutely love what I do!

Y: Speaking of your dad, he was the one that trained you to become a pro wrestler, is that right?

R M: That’s right. I am a second-generation wrestler.

My dad was a wrestler then he refereed. I have been around this business all my life. A lot of people don’t understand this, but I had my first professional wrestling match when I was 14 years old in Pensacola, Florida, where my dad was working at the time. I have a son who is 14 now and he can wrestle just as good as anyone on TV, because like me back then, he is surrounded by it all of his life. When I got out of high school I had other plans to do something, but it’s in my blood. I was lured right back into it and it was the smartest decision I ever made in my life.

Y: And now you are giving back to the business that gave you so much. You are involved with teaching the young people about the wrestling business.

R M: Yes indeed! I have a wrestling school in Chuckey, Tennessee. You can find us on Facebook under School of Morton. I just ran a show last night and had Bobby Eaton who also came by my school. We teach our students the right way. Our business has changed a lot on nationwide TV, but on the independent shows we call it the right way.

Y: Who came up with the name and look of The Rock n’ Roll Express?

R M: It was Jerry Lawler who put us together, but Jimmy Hart came up with our name. Robert Gibson and I were in Memphis, Tennessee, competing against the team of Steve Kern and Stan Lane, known as the fabulous Ones.

Y: You and Robert eventually came to work for Jim Crockett Promotions.

R M: We came in the Mid-Atlantic area in 1985 and on our first time on TV, we won the world title belts from the Russians. That is what got it going for us. We made history especially when we wrestled the Midnight Express (“Beautiful” Bobby Eaton and “Loverboy” Dennis Condrey with Jim Cornette). We were rock stars and did not even know it. The five of us broke attendance records and then we came back and broke them again. Not many can say that they broke Elvis Presley’s attendance record, but we did.

Y: The Rock n’ Roll Express is coming back to Norfolk.

What are some of your memories here?

R M: Norfolk was one of the biggest towns we wrestled and we were at the Norfolk Scope every two weeks. We would go to Norfolk on Thursdays and Richmond on Fridays. Some of the greatest times we ever had were right there by the airport where we stayed. A lot of great memories. I had a lot of feuds in Norfolk. I wrestled Ric Flair to an hour time limit at the Norfolk Scope. We wrestled Ole and Arn Anderson and the rest of the four horsemen.

Y: What should the fans expect to see at the Big Time Wrestling Show on Nov. 20?

R M: We are proud to be a part of such a great company as Big Time Wrestling. They have some young and exciting talent and the fans are in for a treat. On top of that, Robert and I are coming back to Norfolk. That is where we started. You know the old saying you always go back to where you started. The Rock n’ Roll Express is coming back to town to wrestle one more time for the fans. Add to that Scotty “2 Hotty” Garland, Gangrel, and of course Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat, and what you will have is the coming together of the Glory Days, the Good Old Days and the Best Days coming together that night. Come out and see all these great stars and so much more and experience what BTW is all about!
