“This run will take people out of their every day comfort zone of normal physical training and force them to push their bodies to the

limit,” said Glenn Nelson, MWR Athletic and Fitness Director and Grunt Run race director.

The course is more than five miles long and will consist of mud crawls, wall climbs, an ammo can carry, barrier jumps and a few other surprising obstacles.

The run, which attracted approximately 500 people last year, entailed various planning components, such as developing a planning team, setting up meeting dates, assigning different areas of responsibility, setting up marketing, designing artwork for the flyers and Tshirts, and establishing volunteer requirements.

“Basically an event such as this requires a lot of planning and team work,” said Nelson.

The run is free for the military community without a T-shirt purchase; the military community with a T-shirt purchase is $15; the general public without a Tshirt purchase is $20; and the general public with a T-shirt purchase is $30. Participants can run individually or as part of a co-ed team.

“This event creates an opportunity for some family fun,” said Nelson. “In addition to the actual run, we will have a rock climbing wall, corn hole and bouncing ride.

Most of all, this event gives base personnel a chance to connect with other members who are stationed here.”

The Navy celebrates its 237th birthday

By Vice Adm. Richard W. Hunt Director, Navy staff

MILITARY APPRECIATION NIGHT WITH THE NORFOLK ADMIRALS TO BE HELD AT THE SCOPE NORFOLK

The 2012 Calder Cup Champion Norfolk Admirals enter their 13th season of AHL action in 2012 - 2013. When the puck drops on Military Appreciation Night, it will begin the first season of a multi-year affiliation agreement between Norfolk and the National Hockey League’s Anaheim Ducks.

Admirals hockey has been a staple of the Hampton Roads community since 1989.

“The puck will drop on a new era of Admirals hockey,” said Admirals Vice President Joe Gregory. “We look forward to a great new relationship with the Anaheim

Ducks. The Ducks understand the winning tradition of Admirals hockey. While there will be new faces and names to learn, we are confident that Admirals fans will have the same amount of pride for the team that skates onto the ice at Scope on Oct. 12 as they did when they cheered for the Calder Cup last June.”

As we celebrate our Navy’s 237th birthday, our history and heritage forms our identity, telling us who we are and what we stand for. Our core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment have been passed down from our founders, who charged the Navy with the solemn duty to serve as the “shield” of our republic. The first real test our Navy faced was during the War of 1812. This war began at sea when United States ships were ordered to heave to upon the high seas and U.S. citizens were forcefully taken, or impressed, into the crews of another nation’s ships. The great battles that followed proved the fighting mettle of our Sailors and the cutting edge of our ship designs.

These battles established both free trade and free navigation as critical national interests of our country – interests that endure to this day.

The warrior characteristics of cunning and boldness exhibited in 1812 inspire our Sailors of today’s Navy as they continue to serve around the world. The War of 1812 served as a critical turning point for our Navy.

On this 237th birthday of our Navy, we have the honor to serve in the greatest maritime fighting force the world has ever seen, but we do so with humility, continuing to build upon the framework those fighting Sailors forged before us. History teaches us that with great power comes great responsibility. From the great captains and crews who fought single ship actions in 1812 to the commerce raiders of the Civil War; from the convoys of World War I

U.S. Navy file photo Vice Adm. Richard W. Hunt became director, Navy Staff in August 2012.

■ Navy origins The United States Navy traces its origins to the Continental Navy, which the Continental Congress established on Oct. 13, 1775, by authorizing the procurement, fitting out, manning and dispatch of two armed vessels to cruise in search of munitions ships supplying the British Army in America. The legislation also established a naval committee to supervise the work. All together, the Continental Navy numbered some 50 ships over the course of the war, with approximately 20 warships active at its maximum strength.

to the major fleet actions at coral sea and midway; from the blockade of Cuba in October of 1962 to the Riverine operations on the Tigris and the Euphrates, our Navy has boldly and proudly put our shoulder to the wheel. We have championed peace and we continue to shield the republic. Here is to 237 years of proud naval heritage and many more!

For visitors who enjoyed the opportunity to see a local naval installation during last months’s NAS Oceana Air Show, another opportunity to visit a Navy base and enjoy another family-friendly event is just around the corner. The annual Fleet Week Chili Cook-off, being held at Dam Neck Annex this year, takes place on Oct. 13, from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The event is open to the general public and offers some of the best tasting chili on the East Coast – with more than 20 military teams competing for top honors.

This year’s event coincides with the 237th birthday of the Navy. Admission and parking are free for the cook-off, although there will be small charge for the chili samples.

Although conflicts with schedules at the Oceana’s Main Gate Park and other Fleet Week Hampton Roads events meant moving the location, NAS Oceana Commanding Officer Capt. Bob Geis felt strongly he should host it again this year.

“This has been a great event, traditionally held at Oceana, and we would like to continue to show our support to the public and have the public enjoy Dam Neck Annex,” he said. “It’s a great event, it’s a fantastic venue.

We will provide the same access [to the public] as we have at the Main Gate Park.”

The Chili Cook-Off will

- Capt. Bob Geis, NAS Oceana Commanding Officer

be held at the Fairwinds Softball Park, field 1, across from Navy Federal on Dam Neck. The new venue is a roomy location for the teams and offers a picnic area for visitors to sit and enjoy their chili samples, along with a playground for children.

“It’s a highly-desired location,” said Geis.

The Chili Cook-Off is being sponsored by the Jet Observer, the official Navy newspaper of NAS Oceana, Dam Neck Annex and NALF Fentress.

“We’re excited to once again support our troops and their families by sponsoring this year’s Chili Cook-off,” said Laura Baxter, publisher and general manager of Military Newspapers of Virginia. “The Chili Cook-Off is part of Fleet Week here in Hampton Roads. It’s a longstanding tradition.”

Commands wanting to earn some extra money for their MWR funds have the perfect opportunity with the Chili Cook-Off. The best tasting and most original chili will earn $300 for first, $200 for second and $100 for third place; the big dipper award for the

most samples sold will earn $300; and the team with the most showmanship can take home a prize of $200.

There is no charge to enter the competition.

With the event taking place near Halloween, teams in previous years have gotten into the season with everything from the ghoulish spirit of the month to “Roadkill Chili,” making the competition for the showmanship award as fierce as the competition for the best chili.

“It’s a great opportunity for healthy competition,” said Geis about the command teams which compete year after year.

For the teams with early risers, the cooking area opens at 6:30 a.m., but teams are only allowed a maximum of four hours to cook up their own special stews. And nearly everything must be cooked onsite. The exceptions can be mixing and grinding of

spices and canned or bottle tomatoes and pepper sauces.

While each team must bring their own cooking items, such as pots and pans, they will receive a $200 gift card to Farm Fresh to purchase all of their ingredients.

Baxter urges teams to use every dollar of those gift cards to stock up on ingredients, mentioning how in past years teams have run out of samples long before the competition formally ended.

“If you want to taste some great chili, you need to head out to see us. As a previous judge, I can tell you it’s extremely hard to choose which team has the best chili,” she said. “That’s why I’m glad we give out eight awards and almost $2,000 in prize money.”

Each team will provide a quart of chili for the panel of 10 judges to begin sam-

pling at 1 p.m. The winners will be announced near the end of the event.

“There’s always a great smorgasbord of flavors,” said Geis, who has served as a judge for several of the competitions. “Stews over the years have included secret ingredients of venison, unique varieties of tomatoes and spices, chocolate and “mystery meats.”

In addition to all the chili samples, MWR will offer reasonably-priced concessions on-site. There will also be a large children’s area with fun contests, inflatables and more.
