USFF honors MLK

By Ensign Aleena Y. Hammack

Retired Norfolk State University professor Dr. Annie Shaw-Barnes receives a commemorative coin from U.S. Fleet Forces (USFF) Assistant Chief of Enlisted Staff Captain Roger L. Curry, following a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day celebration on board Naval Support Activity-Hampton Roads in Norfolk.

GULF OF OMAN

The guided-missile destroyer USS Bulkeley (DDG 84) rendered aid to a distressed vessel Jan. 15 while operating in the Gulf of Oman.

Bulkeley’s bridge team spotted two men in a small, powerdriven fishing vessel waving their arms and a makeshift flag.

Bulkeley slowed to stay near the vessel and sent the visit, board, search, and seizure (VBSS) team to render assistance.

Shaw-Barnes was invited to speak during the USFF’s Combined Multicultural Heritage Committee organized event.

Two people will be sleeping in their beds tonight, when they might not have been otherwise.”

- Cmdr. Hank Allen

The skiff’s crew had no food or water on board. Bulkeley provided food, water, blankets and contacted a regional coast guard.

Bulkeley remained with the vessel until they arrived.

“Safety of Life at Sea is a mission the Navy is well prepared to perform,” Bulkeley’s Commanding Officer Cmdr. Hank Allen said. “It is our responsibility to render aid to vessels in distress. The Bulkeley team did a great job today, from spotting the vessel at a distance and recognizing their distress, to rendering assistance. Two people will be sleeping in their beds tonight, when they might not have been otherwise.”

Bulkeley is deployed with the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (HSTCSG) in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations.

HSTCSG consists of the staff of Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 8, USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75), Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7, the guided-missile cruiser USS Anzio (CG 68), Destroyer Squadron 28 and her ships: guided-missile destroyers Bulkeley, USS Gravely (DDG 107), USS Gonzalez (DDG 66), and USS Ramage (DDG 61).

after a four day training period.

According to NAVSUP FLC Norfolk Reserve Liaison Lt. Cmdr. Adam Whetstone, the Sailors received the training to enhance their knowledge of command operations while increasing readiness to support the Logistics Support Representative (LSR) positions held in the Logistics Support Center (LSC) at this command and other fleet logistics center sites.

While much of the training across the three levels of RLR certification – apprentice, journeyman and master – focuses on LSR-type functions, training also covers other areas.

“An RLR-journeyman-qualified Sailor stands ready to backfill positions within the FLC in the event of contingency operations or manpower shortages, while also enabling the Sailor to contribute operational support at numerous facilities within the FLC during weekend drills and active-duty training,” Whetstone said.

NAVSUP FLC NORFOLK HOLDS RESERVIST TRAINING

NORFOLK

More than 30 Navy Reserve Sailors completed Reserve Logistics Representative (RLR) Journeyman-level training at Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Norfolk on Jan. 10

He also said the training had a second benefit for Sailors taking advancement exams, as many of the areas covered during the training could be on the exam, while helping them foster relationships with their active-duty counterparts.

“This allows for a more seamless integration in contingency and operational support situations,” Whetstone said.

The students were primarily reservists attached to NAVSUP FLC Norfolk, but a few of the Sailors were from other fleet logistics centers including Sigonella, Italy, and Bahrain.

“Our reservists have proven to be an integral part of NAVSUP FLC Norfolk’s command and operational abilities and with this training, reservists further enhance our ability to meet the needs of the fleet,” Whetstone said.

CHATTANOOGA,TENN.

July 16, 2015, was a Thursday as any other at the Navy Operational Support Center (NOSC) Chattanooga. Logistics Specialist 2nd Class Randall Smith reported to work just as any other work day. At approximately 10 a.m., this day took a turn when Mohammed Abdulazeez rammed his vehicle through the security gate and opened fire at the NOSC, killing four Marines, wounding another, and seriously wounding Smith. He was hit with three bullets, piercing his stomach, colon, liver, and arm. On July 18, after a two-day fight for his life, 26-year-old Smith became the fifth fatality in the shooting incident.

After extensive investigations, the July attack was deemed as having been inspired by a foreign terrorist organization, which made Smith, along with five others, eligible to receive the Purple Heart Award. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus stated he hoped would comfort the families in some way.

The Purple Heart Ceremony for Smith was held

Kaylee Larocque Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRCSE) EA-6B Prowler Fleet Support Team and Integrated Program Team representatives gather with FRCSE Commanding Officer Capt. Chuck Stuart, seventh from left, in front of the last EA-6B aircraft during a rollout ceremony Dec. 17, 2015.

Workers say goodbye, reminisce at ceremony for last Prowler

By Clifford Davis Fleet Readiness Center Southeast Public Affairs

JACKSONVILLE, FLA.

Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRCSE) held a bittersweet ceremony Dec. 17, 2015, to honor the workers of the EA-6B Prowler Fleet Support Team as the last Prowler nears completion.

The ceremony, marking the end of more than 20 years of Prowler work, signified the end of one era, but also the birth of another as most of the artisans of the Prowler line transition to trainer aircraft.

“I just want to thank each and every one of you here,” FRCSE Commanding Officer Capt. Chuck Stuart said.

“Though the last one of these amazing monsters is leaving us, the culture of teamwork and dependability you all have built here will stay. That will continue no matter what aircraft you’re working on.”

The first EA-6B came to FRCSE in October 1994. Many workers from Norfolk came too, after their depot was shut down during the Base Realignment and Closure process.

While many of the workers are transitioning to training aircraft, others will hang up their tool belts along with the plane they’ve kept in the air for decades.

“None of us wanted to see it go,”

EA-6B Supervisor Greig Tatum said.

“I’ve been on the EA-6B for about 24 years going back to my days in Norfolk. It hurts, but it’s a good sign to me because I’m retiring with it.”

The pilot who delivered the first Prowler to undergo maintenance at FRCSE came back for the ceremony.

Cmdr. Mark Nye flew the “Flying Frying Pan” in the Navy’s fleet for 10 years before coming to FRCSE as the EA-6B product officer.

“Even today, the electronics are modern but the airframe they’re loaded on is a little dated,” Nye said. “It’s pretty amazing when you think of how long the A-6 has been gone now and they’re still flying the Prowler.”

The A-6 Intruder, from which the EA-6B descended, entered service in March 1963 with Attack Squadron 42.

When the Navy saw the need for electronic attack aircraft, they returned to the A-6’s rugged design. In fact, in at least some cases, they used the actual plane itself.

“The first three Prowlers that were built, were built from A-6 Intruders,” FRCSE’s EA-6B program manager in the mid-‘90s Burt Hood said. “They cut it right there at fuselage station 139, where the top fit is, and they brought in that whole front section. The first three that were built, were built with an A-6 back and an EA-6B nose.”

Perhaps the worker with the longest time on Prowlers at the ceremony was Logistics Management Specialist at FRCSE Ken Ball. Ball worked for the plane’s original manufacturer, Grumman, for 35 years.

“I started with Grumman in 1967,” Ball said. “I was in the flight test department, so I worked on some of the early prototypes. What really made this aircraft special was its ability to loiter over the battlefield for extended periods of time and jam enemy signals and communications.”

“The team that maintained the aircraft is special as well,” Stuart said.

“Perhaps that’s why so many turned out.”

From retirees with decades on the Prowler, to relative newcomers, more than 100 current and former workers showed up for the ceremony.

“It really was like growing up together, and I think we all enjoyed ourselves,” Tatum said. “It was like a family.”

The men and women of the Prowler line shared laughs and recounted old stories – and looked longingly at the last one.

“When the Prowler gets in your blood, she’s in your blood,” Nye said.

“You end up working on a bunch of different planes, but this was always home.”

■ MLK day Navy Expeditionary Combat Command Headquarters personnel watch a video about the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day celebration Jan. 14.

The theme for this year’s event is Remember!

Celebrate! Act! A Day On, Not a Day Off!

NECC CELEBRATES MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY oridinator Legalman 1st Class Jhaka Gartrell emphasized that the future is promised to those who see opportunity before they become obvious.

This week would have marked King’s 87th birthday.

Multi-cultural committee Chair Chief Hospitalman Reginald Morris added that during his lifetime, King acted as a humanitarian for all races.

“The vision for us as people of all races are to come together despite our differences,” Morris said. “This year’s theme is “Remember! Celebrate! Act! A Day on, Not a Day Off!” Each year on the third Monday in January, the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service is the only federal holiday observed as a national day of service-empowering individuals to strengthen their communities and create solutions to social problems.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a vital figure of the modern era and a pivotal figure in the Civil Rights Movement. In sermons and speeches, King’s voice rang out with a call for us to work toward a better tomorrow. His actions inspired men and women, young and old, in this nation and around the world.

VIRGINIA BEACH

Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) celebrated the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Virginia Beach on Jan. 14.

Chair of the Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Commemoration Service and Third Baptist Church Assistant Pastor Joseph Fleming served as the guest speaker and echoed the civil rights leader’s timeless thoughts that “the world works better together than apart.”

In 1983, legislation was signed creating a federal holiday marking the birthday of the civil rights leader. King is the first African-American, and the first non-U.S. president, to have an official legal holiday.

Fleming added that our diversity overall serves to make us stronger as a nation and thanked the NECC military and civilian personnel for serving their country, adding that “his legacy lives in your work and your service.”

Diver performs repairs on Carney

By MCC Edward Kessler NAVELSG Public Affairs

A diver assigned to MidAtlantic Regional Maintenance Center Norfolk performs repairs on USS Carney (DDG 64), Jan. 13.

WILLIAMSBURG

Fifty Sailors from Navy Expeditionary Logistics Support Group (NAVELSG) active-duty battalion Navy Cargo Handling Battalion (NCHB) 1 and two reserve component Sailors from NCHB 8 and 10, departed Williamsburg, Cheatham Annex on Jan. 13, in support of the National Science Foundation Operation Deep Freeze (ODF) 2016.

The Sailors will deploy as part of ODF’16, the military logisticalsupport component of the Antarctic Program.

ODF is unlike any other military operation. It is one of the military’s most difficult peacetime missions due to the harsh Antarctic environment. The military is uniquely equipped and trained to operate in such extreme climates.

NCHB 1, the only Navy detachment supporting the National Science Foundation (NSF) research in Antarctica, will arrive at Ross Island, Antarctica, on or about Jan. 17 and make port at NSF’s McMurdo Station, the southern-most navigable harbor in the world. Once there, Navy cargo handlers will meet the Military Sealift Commandchartered ship MV Ocean Giant, to off-load approximately 20 million pounds of fresh supplies to support the scientists and researchers living year-round in the brutal environment. Cargo handlers will work around the clock for seven to 10 days in the continuous sunlight of the Antarctic summer.

“The conditions that we are working in are extremely dangerous and people are not used to working in the cold, so it is important to have someone with experience and that understands the unique factors and watch out for everyone’s safety while still tackling the mission,” Chief Boatswain’s Mate Cliff Brown said. “It is an honor to be able to go down there with a bunch of Sailors who have never experienced this type of mission before,” Despite working 12-hour shifts in the harshest conditions, Sailors compete for the chance to go.

“It seemed interesting, an opportunity. I don’t know too many people that can say they have been to Antarctica,” NCHB 10 reservist Equipment Operator 3rd Class Robert Newton said.

The Navy has supported expeditions to Antarctica for more than a half century. Their specialized training and equipment continue to make them well-suited for the job.

“We are good stewards of their cargo because we know that many of these scientists have spent their lives working on their projects and hopefully their research will make our overall lives better,” Brown said.

Once the fresh supplies are off-loaded, the previous year’s trash is hauled on board the ships. By international agreement, researchers must save and export all waste to preserve the pristine polar environment.

The return shipment includes ice core samples that will provide scientists studying global climate change with information about the composition of the atmosphere hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Carney, an Arleigh Burkeclass guided-missile destroyer, forward-deployed to Rota, Spain, is conducting a routine patrol in the U. S. 6th Fleet area of operations in support of U.S. national security interests in Europe.

NMCP OFFERS ‘MAMMOGRAMS WHILE YOU WAIT’ TO PATIENTS

By Emma Dakin Naval Medical Center Portsmouth Public Affairs

PORTSMOUTH

One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, making breast cancer the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women worldwide. Yet breast cancer also has one of the highest survival rates, largely thanks to early detection services such as screening mammograms.

The Mammography Department at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP) is making it easier for patients to get their annual mammogram through the new “Mammogram While You Wait Program.” Walk-in screenings are now available for patients who are already at the medical center for another reason. This service is available from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday.

“In a nutshell, this program will improve access to care,” Mamography Department’s Lead Interpreting Physician Lt. Cmdr. Jessica Miller said. “Patients who are waiting for the pharmacy or for labs or anything can swing by and complete their screening.”

On average, a screening mammogram takes only 15 to 30 minutes. These screenings are key in identifying potential cancer in its earliest stages when it is the most treatable, since mammograms are capable of detecting cancer up to two years before symptoms begin to show.

“We really want to make it easier for patients to keep up with their annual screenings,” Miller said.

Starting at age 40, women with an average risk of cancer are recommended to complete an annual screening, switching to a biannual screening after age 55.

Currently, the “Mammogram While You Wait Program” is available at NMCP for all women ages 40 and older who are enrolled in Tricare Prime or Standard. The Mammography Department has added 13 walk-in slots per day to accommodate the program. Miller stated she is pleased with the cooperation between the staff and the command to establish the program.

“This command has been such a huge support,” Miller said. “We wouldn’t have been able to implement the program without our really amazing staff and mammography technicians.”

With innovative programs such as the “Mammogram While You Wait Program,” NMCP encourages women to take charge of their health and continues in its aim of providing quality, patientcentered health care.

Mason Sailors bid farewell to fallen shipmate USS Mason Public Affairs NEW YORK

A contingent of USS Mason (DDG 87) Sailors attended a funeral on Jan. 9 in New York City to honor the last surviving crew member of USS Mason (DE 529).

Lorenzo Dufau, 94, passed away on Dec. 19, 2015. He was highlighted in the 2004 documentary ďŹ lm “Proud,â€? the story of the all AfricanAmerican crew of USS Mason (DE 529).

In the same spirit the crew achieved recognition, Dufau spent a lifetime working to end discrimination. He appeared several times on board naval bases and ships to speak on the subject. Most recently, he spoke in 2012 aboard Mason in Norfolk as part of their Black History Month celebration. “Words cannot really express my deepest feelings because I become emotional when I realize the role that I was picked to play in developing America,� Dufau said, while answering questions from the Mason crew in 2012. “This is America, a combination of all people, one nation under God.�

In recognition of his lifetime of service, members of the current Mason attended and spoke during Dufau’s funeral. “Mr. Dufau continued to be an advocate for the Navy and the work that he and his shipmates did aboard USS Mason was nothing short of spectacular,� Mason’s Command Master Chief Ronald Shasky said. “He felt it was important for the story of his ship and shipmates to be heard, a story of an all African-American crew taking a naval vessel into battle, serving with honor and distinction, all during a period where racial segregation was rampant in our community.

He and his shipmates were trailblazers in the history of African-Americans in service to their country. He was quoted as once saying, ‘Sure the Tuskegee Airman get all the attention. They were pretty yboys. But did they own and operate a Navy destroyer? I think not!’ Speaking with his family and friends, it was quite evident that he was proud of his and his shipmates’ service.

The Navy is a better place because of him, his shipmates, and DE-529.�

Lt. Cmdr. John Lloyd Jr. led Mason’s delegation and spoke to the family, bringing greetings and condolences from Mason’s Commanding OfďŹ cer Cmdr. Christopher Gilbertson, and from her crew. “I am heart-broken that I did not have the pleasure and honor of meeting such a humble man who was obviously loved by so many,â€?

Lloyd said.

Dufau is survived by his daughter-in-law and numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.

MARMC OVERSEES GUNSTON HALL MAINTENANCE AVAILABILITY ■about the ship Gunston Hall is homeported at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek–Fort Story and assigned to Amphibious Group 2 of the Atlantic Fleet.

By Chris Wyatt MARMC Public Affairs

NORFOLK

Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center’s (MARMC) Waterfront Operations Department provided oversight and technical expertise during an extended 11-month chief of naval operations availability to USS Gunston Hall (LSD 44), due for completion in April. “Before the repairs took place, we set a fueling milestone of Jan. 4,� Gunston Hall Project Manager Armando Samonte said. “That’s important because the ship cannot perform equipment testing without taking on fuel.�

In order to meet that milestone, 19

fuel tank level indicators had to be repaired. Once the tank level indicators were repaired, Carderock Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center inspected and certiďŹ ed them. With the indicators repaired the next step before refueling involved inspecting 69 tanks.

According to Samonte, once the tank inspection is complete, MARMC will provide a repair list to Naval Surface Forces Atlantic Command, which decides what repairs are to be performed.

In this particular case, eight tanks needed repairs.

“There is a lot of coordination going on here between repair, testing, inspection and documentation,� Samonte said. “All of these moving pieces are going on inside the 11 months to get this ship back operational.�

With the tank level indicators and tanks repaired, the refueling of Gunston Hall’s tanks will begin as planned. “The entire maintenance team, along with General Dynamics National Steel and Shipbuilding Company, did a great job working together to get this ship ďŹ xed,â€? Samonte said.

Lincoln Sailors celebrate the life of Martin Luther King, Jr.

By MC2 William Blake USS Abraham Lincoln Public Affairs

NEWPORT NEWS

USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) Sailors celebrated the life and work of Martin Luther King, Jr., on the mess decks on board the Floating Accommodation Facility (FAF) in Newport News, Jan. 14.

Lincoln Sailors gathered to honor King’s legacy and his contributions to equality in America and to reflect on the holiday’s recurring theme, “A Day On, Not A Day Off!” The celebration was led by Lincoln’s Command Chaplain Cmdr. Maurice Buford, who gave a speech encouraging Sailors to aspire to be like King. He encouraged Sailors to look at all of King’s contributions to civil rights for AfricanAmericans and examine how they can make a difference in their communities and lives.

“Dr. King put on the garment of resiliency; he understood that a bullet couldn’t stop destiny,” Buford said. “I

encourage you to seize every moment, because life is short. I want to encourage you to be a person of integrity and character; to get out of fear and pursue your dream. It’s our hour. It’s our time.

The question now becomes, ‘Will we be people of destiny?’”

Through his actions, King helped to open doors for African-Americans to be able to vote, attend any institute of higher learning, and work in any field.

“Martin Luther King is a figure in not just American history, but human history,” Lincoln’s Commanding Officer Capt. Ron Ravelo said. “I would like all our Sailors to take some time over the long weekend and not just see it as a day off, but to sit back and reflect on how truly important Dr. King was to humanity.”

To honor his contribution to civil rights, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established by President Ronald Reagan in 1983, with the first observance held in 1986 on King’s birthday, Jan. 15. It was later made into a federal holiday by the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday

and Service Act passed by Congress on Aug. 23, 1994.

“Martin Luther King represented something greater than civil rights,” Aviation Technician Airman Torre Williams said. “The fact that we still celebrate his legacy every year shows the impact he had on the American people.

If it weren’t for him, the whole landscape of this country would look completely different.”

Lincoln is currently undergoing refueling complex overhaul (RCOH) at Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries in Newport News.

Lincoln is the fifth Nimitz-class aircraft carrier to undergo RCOH, a major life-cycle milestone. Once RCOH is complete, Lincoln will be one of the most modern and technologically advanced Nimitz-class aircraft carriers in the fleet, and will continue to be a vital part of the nation’s defense.

Nearly 9,000 selected reserve Sailors at NECC

Continued from front ham said. “The stand-up of NECC provided a better understanding of the critical capabilities of our expeditionary forces and how to best provide our combatant commanders with an effective and well-trained fighting force.”

Navy Expeditionary Logistics Support Group (NAVELSG) Chief of Staff Mark Sakowski has been affiliated with NECC since its conceptualization. Sakowski first reported to NAVELSG in 2003 as their deputy commander and later retired from active duty in 2008.

“It is unheralded how quickly NECC came online to become an effective and proven advocate for the expeditionary forces,” Sakowski said. “Our manning is better, our training is better, our facilities are better, our equipment is better, and our Sailors are better. This never could have happened, and especially so quickly, without a dedicated and focused TYCOM that has worked deliberately and exhaustingly to truly represent our capabilities and build the Navy an effective and lethal expeditionary force.”

Since its establishment in 2006, NECC has folded the

expeditionary combat force under one umbrella of capabilities that includes explosive ordnance, Navy diving, coastal riverine, construction force, expeditionary logistics support, cargo handling, expeditionary warfare development, individual augmentee training, expeditionary combat camera support, and expeditionary intelligence capabilities.

Expeditionary Combat Readiness Center’s Command Master Chief Randy Watson, who was one of the establishing plank owners, explained the synergy behind the stand-up of NECC. “To see that vision grow into reality over the years has been a special opportunity,” Watson said. “One of the TYCOM benefits for our communities is recognizing the synergies across various communities and leveraging those to build a stronger, more effective and efficient force as well as building the adaptive force packages to meet many unique missions.”

Watson has served at four different commands within NECC and discussed its formation.

“By forming NECC, the Navy brought many overlapping or similarly supported

capabilities under one umbrella – capabilities that are unique in nature and if not formalized would otherwise have to be accomplished by pulling Sailors from the fleet in a temporary duty or ad hoc manner,” Watson said.

NECC delivers its core capabilities through rapidly deployable expeditionary forces made up of both active and reserve force components. NECC continues to serve as a role model for Active Reserve Integration with approximately 50 percent of its forces comprised of reservists.

Nearly 9,000 selected reserve Sailors are assigned to NECC and serve across the U.S. in commissioned, hardware-equipped units that train and deploy to meet operational requirements from around the globe.

“These are not your average ‘one weekend per month and two weeks per year’ drilling Navy Reservists,” Deputy Commander of NECC Rear Adm. Darren Hanson said. “They are a highly dedicated, elite group of men and women who are proud to support real missions in real places alongside, or in lieu of, their active component counterparts.”

NECC Manpower Analyst Lillian Jenkins reported to

NECC Jan. 5, 2005, serving as their first chief yeoman.

“It was exciting to be a part of an organization from the very beginning and witness its growth escalation over the past decade,” Jenkins said.

Jenkins retired from active duty after serving 20 years.

She has also served on the NECC staff for the past decade as a Navy civilian.

“It has been rewarding to be a part of a bigger organization that has global reach,” Jenkins said. “As part of standing up our force I established or reorganized each command within NECC and maintained force structure and military manpower.”

Jenkins job affects military and civilians across the NECC enterprise.

On any given day approximately one third of NECC forces are deployed worldwide on missions from theater security partnerships to partnership building to infrastructure protection. Due to the operational capabilities represented and where they operate, NECC units act as a force multiplier in the areas where they deploy and operate.

by wife, three daughters Continued from front Jan. 14 is a day Angie will remember forever. Not only because it was the day her husband was posthumously awarded the nation’s oldest, and one of the most honored military medals, but it was also their wedding anniversary and the day that Randall graduated from Navy boot camp.

Angie, standing tall and strong as always, made a poignant speech during the ceremony bringing tears to all, but at the same time remembering the light-hearted side of Randall. At one point during her speech, Angie commented on a conversation between them.

Randall: “I will always remember Jan. 14.”

Angie: “Why, because you married me?”

Randall: “No, you big dummy – because I graduated boot camp!”

This is the side of Randall she wants all to remember.

“Although the Purple Heart can never possibly replace this brave Sailor and these brave Marines, it is my hope that as their families and the entire Department of the Navy team continue to mourn their loss, these awards provide some small measure of solace,” Mabus said. “Their heroism and service to our nation will be remembered always.”

“The entire Navy Reserve Force was deeply saddened at the passing of LS2 Randall S. Smith,” Braun said. “He was a dedicated Sailor who cared deeply about his family, his community, and his country. His service and, indeed, his life will remain an inspiration for his shipmates and all who were fortunate enough to have known him.”

The Purple Heart was presented to the Smith’s eldest daughter, Lyla, with ceremonial medals being presented to all of the Smith girls.

Smith was born April 16, 1989, in Paulding, Ohio. He joined the Navy in 2010. After graduating boot camp at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Michigan, he attended logistics specialist “A” school on board Naval Air Station Meridian, Mississippi. Smith then served three years on board the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD-1) before transferring to Navy Operational Support Center Chattanooga in August 2014. There, he was responsible for supporting supply management and operations.

Smith was active in the First Baptist Church of Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, and enjoyed watching sports and volunteering his time. He was also attending college at Ashford University Online, where he was working toward a degree in hospital administration.

Smith is survived by his wife, Angie; daughters Lyla, Eila and Kyla; father, Tracy Smith; and several other family members.

The right to dream

By MC3 Seth Coulter NPASE Detatchment Northwest

KEYPORT, WASH.

Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Keyport held a performance by the Living Voices touring company, who performed “The Right to Dream” in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day at the Naval Undersea Museum.

It is the twenty-third year, the NUWC’s Black

Employment Program has hosted the event, which was based off of a student’s coming of age during the civil rights movement in the 1960s.

“Dr. King’s work did not end with his death, his legacy gives others the courage and confidence to leave their mark on society,” Commanding Officer of NUWC Division Keyport Capt. Francis Spencer said.

The presentation was acted out by Bob Williams, a member of Living Voices since 1997 from

3-D printing to enable rapid ondemand manufacturing for Sailors

By Luefras Robinson NSWC Dahlgren Division Corporate Communications

DAHLGREN, VA.

From making prosthetics to prototyping a robot, 3-D printing technologies are making concepts a rapid reality for today’s warfighter – on-demand.

“We are on the ground floor of 3-D Printing,” NSWCDD Technical Director Dennis McLaughlin said.

There were 100 participants at a 3-D Print-A-Thon in December, where 3-D Printing experts revealed the technology’s capabilities and design guidelines.

A line of effort in the recently released “Design to Maintain Maritime Superiority” is to strengthen our Navy team – composed of active and reserve Sailors, Navy civilians, and families. On Jan 14, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson announced a new set of sexual assault prevention and response initiatives to lower the obstacles to reporting, provide added support to survivors,

and prevent re-victimization.

During the announcement Richardson told reporters an important element of this effort is to eliminate self-inflicted destructive behavior, sexual assault being among the most egregious.

“Sexual harassment and sexual assault have absolutely no place in our Navy and are contrary to our core values,” Richardon said. “Eliminating sexual assault requires more than words, zero-tolerance requires an all-hands effort.”

The five initiatives announced to help end the

It is every Sailor’s responsibility to “step up and step in” to help their shipmate when they observe or become aware of undesired and destructive behavior. In 2015, the Navy adopted a new training approach, shifting from traditional lecture-style training to a more dynamic program called Chart the Course.

FireďŹ ghter turned author pens childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books

Know your resources with your local FFSC

By Julia LeDou Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall

JOINT BASE MYER-HENDERSON HALL, FORT MYER, VA.

In his workday life, Jon Nordstrom is a ďŹ reďŹ ghter on Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall.

In his off-duty time, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a devoted family man who relishes his roles of husband, father and uncle.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also earned the title of award-winning author, with two published books to his credit and two more on the way.

Nordstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writing career was born out of a dream and an unfathomable family tragedy. About ďŹ ve years ago, Nordstrom said he had a dream, a nightmare really, that involved a grandmotherly ďŹ gure draped in black robes that ďŹ&#x201A;owed out behind her. In his dream, the ďŹ gureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s robes helped lull children to sleep. Although the dream ended up being a nightmare, it planted an idea into Nordstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind about soothing children to sleep, a story that would eventually become his ďŹ rst book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes Sleep.â&#x20AC;?

Then came Oct. 31, 2010. Halloween that year began as a joyful day for Nordstrom, his wife and daughters. They trick-or-treated in their neighborhood and had a great time hanging out with friends, until

Mid-Atlantic Fleet and Family Support Centers (FFSC) programs and services are designed to help you make the most of your military experience... and they're all available to you at no cost.

Nell King Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall (JBMHH) ďŹ reďŹ ghter Jon Nordstrom poses with one of the books he has illustrated and authored at the ďŹ re station on the Fort Myer portion of JBMHH on Jan. 12. Nordstrom, an award-winning author, has written and illustrated two childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books and is currently working on a third.

the phone call came.

On the line was Nordstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father-in-law, who told them that their beloved 11-year-old nephew, Nathan, had been killed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lost our nephew in a car crash,â&#x20AC;? Nordstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a really hard time sleeping. My daughter had an even harder time sleeping. I came to the conclusion that I wanted to do something to immortalize Nathan and to help my daughter sleep.â&#x20AC;?

That led to Nordstrom to ask his oldest daughter what helped her to sleep. He began illustrating what she told him and then put words about the drawings to paper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The illustrations came pretty quickly,â&#x20AC;? Nordstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sometimes Sleepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was absolutely therapy for me in coping with the loss of my nephew.â&#x20AC;?

The self-taught illustrator draws

on paper with ink and marker before editing his work with computer software.

Nordstrom, an Air Force veteran who has been a professional ďŹ reďŹ ghter for 15 years, did most of the work on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes Sleepâ&#x20AC;? at the Fort Myer Fire Station during his off-duty hours. The book took him more than two years to complete, and he initially self-published it.

He now has found a publisher who has re-issued it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes Sleepâ&#x20AC;? has been awarded both the Gelett Burgess Award and Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice Award for Excellence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest thing is we got Nathanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name out,â&#x20AC;? Nordstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done different charities, and we donated numerous books.

Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a celebration of joy.â&#x20AC;?

Nordstrom said his eldest daughter also served as the catalyst for his second book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shimmer.â&#x20AC;? Father

and daughter were discussing the water cycle when she answered a question about it incorrectly. That led to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shimmer,â&#x20AC;? a tale about a water droplet who is trying to ďŹ nd his place in the world, and at the same time teaches kids about the water cycle, which describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love to make kids laugh,â&#x20AC;? Nordstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This book teaches kids while making them laugh.â&#x20AC;?

Nordstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third book, which he is at work on now, is about a mouse who, appropriately enough, lives in a ďŹ re house. He said his daughters review all his work and that he takes great stock in their opinions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids will tell you the absolute truth,â&#x20AC;? Nordstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are great editors.â&#x20AC;?

The boy is back in town

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Contributor

There is a room in our creaky old base house that we try to avoid. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dangerous hazard, a treacherous obstacle, a toxic wasteland. Those who enter are well-advised to wear eye protection, use a gas mask, and wield a knife, just in case.

You see, buried deep in debris and dirty gym socks lies the creature who is responsible for turning that room into a veritable landďŹ ll â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hayden, our 20-year-old son, who has been home from college for three weeks.

Every time Hayden goes back to college, it takes a month to turn his bedroom into an acceptable guest room. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a matter of cleaning â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more like the disaster restoration services that are performed after ďŹ res, ďŹ&#x201A;oods, or lethal mold infestations.

The room stays clean until Hayden comes home from college on break, and the cycle repeats itself all over again.

Now, although I provided my son with clean sheets, the mattress is, once again, bare of linens, which were presumably thrown off in the middle of the night and lay crumpled in a dusty corner.

The bed is instead strewn with gum wrappers, cords, empty soda cans, and wrinkled clothing. The ďŹ&#x201A;oor is covered with piles of neglected books, empty boxes, tangled electronics, crusty dishes, and stiffened gym clothes. Every ďŹ&#x201A;at surface holds teetering stacks of college boy castoffs, all coated in an unhealthy sprinkling of dust and toenail clippings.

Interestingly, none of this seems to interfere with our sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daily routine while home on break. He is perfectly happy to wake up at noon on his litter-strewn mattress, wearing the same pizza sauce stained T-shirt he had on yesterday, and stumble like a zombie with crazed hair down to the kitchen for his daily roast beef

sandwich, which he likes to consume on the couch while watching old episodes of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Judge Judyâ&#x20AC;? and wiping his hands on the upholstery.

After a sufďŹ cient number of crumbs have been deposited on the carpet, Hayden ďŹ nds his way back to his bedroom, somehow negotiating the familiar piles of debris without so much as a scratch, to spend a few hours on one of several electronic devices before getting serious about his day.

Sometime in the mid afternoon, he emerges once again from his personal cesspool, ready to face the day, or whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left of it, with vim and vigor. He has not shaved, combed his hair, or changed his clothes, but he does manage to grab his coat, which doubles as a blanket while his bedding is in that forgotten corner, and his shoes, both of which remain untied.

He spends the rest of his day walking the dog, going to the gym, and visiting friends. I wonder if Haydenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buddies are alarmed by his disheveled state, but I realize that young men his age are too caught up in youthful exuberance to care.

He returns home in time for dinner, during which he consumes his meal in a manner normally associated with rabid wolverines. To his credit, Hayden courteously drops his fork and plate into the dishwasher before retiring to his putrid quarters for the night. We remind him to take a shower, which he always does, even if that occurs at 1 a.m., after various phone calls to friends, old movies, and rounds of â&#x20AC;&#x153;PokĂŠmon Super Mystery Dungeon.â&#x20AC;?

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take him back to college next week, after which I will excavate, fumigate and disinfect his room so guests can sleep there without breaking an ankle, contracting a fungal infection, being strangled by electrical cords, or catching Legionnaireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease.

from college? Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we, a military family, require him to wake with morning revelry, and spend his day with productive, ship-shape pursuits?

Perhaps. But seeing as Hayden tackles differential equations, algorithms, and software design while at school, we ďŹ gure he deserves a break. Besides, someday when our kids are through with college and on their own, our house will be perpetually clean and ready for guests â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with hospital corners, gleaming surfaces, and Febreezed freshness.

And then, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll long for the days when our home was dirtier, because that was when it was their home too.

SMWDC INTRODUCES WTI PROGRAMS AT SNA SYMPOSIUM

By MC2 Veronica Mammina Defense Media Activity

CRYSTAL CITY, VA

Naval Surface and Mine WarďŹ ghting Development Center (SMWDC) shared information about Warfare Tactics Instructor (WTI) programs at the Surface Navy Association (SNA) Symposium on Jan. 13.

The foundation of this effort is training junior ofďŹ cers to become WTIs who will specialize in warfare areas such as amphibious operations, integrated air and missile defense, or a combination of anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and surface warfare.

Commander of SMWDC Rear Adm. Jim Kilby announced a change to one of the WTI programs.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beginning this month, the existing ASW WTI course will be renamed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;advanced anti-submarine warfare ofďŹ cerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and extended from four weeks to ďŹ ve for second tour division ofďŹ cers,â&#x20AC;? Kilby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;WTIs are moving forward consolidating, updating and developing doctrine, tactics, techniques and procedures â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the foundation of warďŹ ghting.â&#x20AC;?

A key message to the SNA symposium was the importance of distributed lethality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we are to truly achieve a more lethally distributed surface force capability in which every ship that ďŹ&#x201A;oats can ďŹ ght, and ďŹ ght well, this change must go beyond how warfare commanders employ ships and aircraft and focus on, and reinvest in, tactical proďŹ ciency at the individual warďŹ ghter and watch-team levels,â&#x20AC;? Kilby said.

Much like scouts from a professional sports team, Kilby and his team are on a campaign to go ship-by-ship to identify the best junior ofďŹ cers to ďŹ ll the 100 seats they plan to graduate annually. Eventually, 20 percent of ofďŹ cers will become WTIs after their division ofďŹ cer tours. Additionally, 10 percent of WTIs will come from the Limited Duty OfďŹ cer program.

The future of the surface warfare ofďŹ cer community is moving toward creating warfighting experts. Soon, all ships across the ďŹ&#x201A;eet will have WTIs in the ranks of second tour division ofďŹ cers and department heads through the most senior ofďŹ cers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Along with the ďŹ nest ships and the most advanced warďŹ ghting systems, we must also have the most tactical warďŹ ghters in the

world,â&#x20AC;? Kilby said.

SMWDC was formally established in June 2015, at Naval Base San Diego, Califronia, with detachments in Dahlgren, Virginia, and Little Creek, along with two detachments in San Diego. Kilby leads the program and is responsible for increasing the tactical readiness of individual surface warfare communities through the creation of warfare doctrine, underway assessment exercises and WTIs. The SNA was incorporated in 1985 to promote greater coordination and communication among those in the military, business and academic communities who share a common interest in naval surface warfare and to support the activities of surface naval forces.

CNO, MCPON TOUR FUTURE FLEET IN PAX RIVER AND BATH Chief of Naval Operations Public Affairs BATH, MAINE

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Mike Stevens visited facilities at Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River, Maryland, and General Dynamics Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine, on Jan. 13.

Following an all-hands call at Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at NAS Patuxent River, Richardson and Stevens got an opportunity to get a firsthand look

the latest aviation projects under development, including the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, the F-35C Lightning II joint strike fighter, and the MQ-4C Triton unmanned aircraft system.

Richardson thanked an audience of Sailors, Navy civilians and contractors for their efforts in charting the future of naval aviation.

“We need to connect creativity with production,” Richardson said. “We need to remove bureaucracy and allow us to be faster – to get great ideas into the fleet.

Rating name change working group begins Office of the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Public Affairs WASHINGTON

Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Ray Mabus recently directed a review of the Navy’s rating names to ensure they were representative of all Sailors and did not discriminate based on gender.

The SECNAV specifically asked Chief of Naval Operations John Richardson to look at ratings that referenced “man” in the title, which encompasses more than 20 Navy jobs.

“As our senior enlisted leader, I’ve asked MCPON to take the helm on

Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) Mike Stevens will put together a working group that will canvass

NAVAIR does that. It’s in your DNA. There is just a tremendous amount of creativity here,” Richardson said.

Following the morning at Patuxent River, Richardson and Stevens travelled to Bath, Maine, to tour the future USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000), and receive an overview of Bath Iron Works shipyard.

“There is so much going on between the Navy and Bath,” Richardson said. “You only have to look to the headlines to understand the impact our shipbuilders have on our national security.”

the fleet, talk with Sailors to hear their thoughts, and provide recommendations based on feedback. After the data has been compiled, MCPON will meet with the group to discuss Sailor feedback and determine courses of action.

“This is an opportunity for us to take a look at our rates to see if their names and titles best represent the Sailors and the description of their jobs, just as we have done many times in the past,” Stevens said.

As the Navy moves toward the full integration of women serving in all job fields, the service will review its ratings for gender-neutral titles, accurate descriptions of their work, and alignment with civilian related jobs. In 2004, the Navy changed mess management specialist to culinary specialist, and in 2009 postal clerk and storekeeper were merged to form the logistics specialist rate.

A report detailing proposed courses of action is due to the SECNAV by April 1.

MECHANICSBURG, PA

Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) is working to educate Sailors on the Go for Green® (G4G) program, which helps Sailors know what choices to make in the galley line to stay fit and healthy.

G4G is a food identification system designed to help service members identify healthy food and beverage choices while dining in military galleys. The color codes – Green (Eat Often), Yellow (Eat Occasionally), Red (Eat Rarely), and a salt shaker graphic to measure sodium content – help service members choose foods and beverages that boost their performance, readiness and health.

“This program will provide Sailors worldwide with accurate nutrition information that will help them make healthy choices,” NAVSUP Dietician Jen Person-Whippo said.

Person-Whippo is tasked with educating the Navy on the G4G’s green, yellow, red system.

“Ultimately, G4G will allow Sailors to choose healthy options at each meal as part of their broader fitness goals,” Person-Whippo said.

A NAVSUP G4G pilot education program will take place late January in Norfolk, educating the NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers Navy Food Management Teams, which will play an important part in educating culinary specialists who work the galleys, both on shore and afloat, on the food labeling system. The first step in implementing G4G across the fleet is training galley personnel.

NAVSUP, in partnership with the Combat Feeding Directorate at Natick Labs, and Uniform Services University, prepared eight training modules that will be used across the Navy to train galley personnel on the proper use of G4G when preparing and labeling food items served to Sailors.

Person-Whippo is also collaborating with other agencies to train Bureau of Medicine Dietitians; Morale Welfare and Recreation Command Fitness Leaders; and Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center Health Promotion Directors.

“NAVSUP is driving toward innovative solutions to the Navy Food Service experience by ensuring our customers receive healthy meals with diverse menu options,” NAVSUP Navy Food Service Director Cmdr Bert Hornyak said. “In concert with the fleet and Commander Navy Installation Command, we are leveraging technology, standardized equipment, and a variety of delivery options to revamp and modernize afloat, pier-side, and shore feeding to satisfy customer expectations. We are also maintaining viable experiences and training to nurture and challenge our culinary specialists throughout their careers.”

NAVSUP provides naval forces with quality supplies and services. Headquartered in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and employing a diverse, worldwide workforce of more than 22,500 military and civilian personnel, NAVSUP oversees logistics programs in the areas of supply operations, conventional ordnance, contracting, resale, fuel, transportation, and security assistance.

NHCP expands pain relief options for women in labor

By MC2 Yasmine T. Muhammad NHCP Public Affairs

The conference was held to discuss and share ideas, philosophies, and practical experiences relating to the Dec. 19, 2011, National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security.

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, CALIF.

Beginning in mid-December women in labor at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton (NHCP) now have the option of using nitrous oxide to ease labor pains.

Nitrous oxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas, better known as “laughing gas” that is made for inhalation to provide relief from pain.

“The nitrous oxide is another way that we can offer women pain relief,” NHCP Maternal Infant Unit Nurse Tonya Kellam said. “The gas is a 50 percent nitrous oxide and 50 percent oxygen mixture that is self-administered by the patient through a face mask.”

In order to use the nitrous oxide the patient in labor must be able to hold their own mask to self-administer. The nitrous oxide takes about 30 to 60 seconds to begin taking effect and lasts for about a minute.

NHCP is the second naval hospital to utilize nitrous oxide after Naval Hospital Jacksonville at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida, began earlier this year.

“We’re very proud of the care we provide here and we want to be the first choice for patients and families,” NHCP’s OB-GYN Department Head Lt. Cmdr. Eric Terpstra said. “[Providing nitrous oxide] allows us to offer a safe pain control alternative to labor than the traditional IV narcotics or regional anesthesia and we’re happy to be at the forefront of this addition to Navy medicine.”

Nitrous oxide can be used as the only method of pain relief during labor, but can also be used in conjunction with other regional anesthesia, such as an epidural.

Using nitrous oxide does not have any effect on the baby, but there is a possibility of nausea and vomiting for mom.

This method of pain relief cannot be used if the patient cannot hold their own mask, has received a narcotic in less than two hours, has a vitamin deficiency, or some other rare conditions.

For more information about using nitrous oxide at NHCP please speak with your primary care provider in the Family Medicine or OB-GYN clinic.

NWC seeks papers on women, peace, security

By Daniel S. Marciniak Naval War College Public Affairs

NEWPORT, R.I.

Naval War College (NWC) is issuing a ‘call for papers’ in preparation of its fourth annual Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Conference to be held at the college on May 17.

In an effort to gather theoretical and practical ideas from a wider audience not normally represented in a limited conference format, the conference series chair is soliciting papers from academics, researchers, military personnel, non-governmental organizations and individuals who have an interest or experience in issues pertaining to WPS. “Conferences have limited room for participants,” NWC Professor and Chair of WPS Conference Series Mary Raum said. “To have available, online and in the networked world, some quality thoughts on components of WPS from thinkers and practitioners who have a direct tie to the subjects being discussed is an invaluable resource. This call for papers will allow for a broader reach in exchanging ideas and enable us to net-

work on a global scale – a first step for formalizing the sharing of ideas allied with conference precepts.”

Since the inception of the National Action Plan on WPS in 2011, NWC has been at the forefront of exploration into national and international issues involving WPS, working toward the goal of empowering women in conflict prevention and peace.

In support of the conference theme, critical themes in global security, interested parties can contribute to this goal by submitting a paper on one of the following subjects: ■ Cyber ■ Food security and agriculture ■ Religion ■ DOD components of WPS Papers that focus on WPS issues in Africa, Southern Hemisphere, and AsiaPacific regions are of particular interest.

“Being a contributor to this call for papers will allow for an additional avenue of exchange between theorists and practitioners in academia, military and non-governmental organizations,” Raum said. “These ideas are important for better operationalizing WPS compo-

nents in the most meaningful way possible.”

Proposals must be submitted by Feb. 28.

Selected papers will be published and accessible via the NWC website at www.usnwc.edu.

Submission guidelines can be found at www.usnwc.edu/wps2016-callforpapers.

Ten Navy Sailors safely returned to U.S. custody Jan. 13 after departing Iran. There are no indications that the Sailors were harmed during their brief detention.

The Sailors departed Farsi Island at 8:43 a.m., on board the two Riverine Command Boats (RCB) that they had been operating when they lost contact with the Navy. The Sailors were later transferred ashore by Navy aircraft, while other Sailors took charge of the RCBs and continued transiting toward Bahrain, the boats’ original destination.

The Navy will investigate the circumstances that led to the Sailors’ presence in Iran.

The Navy Center for Language, Regional Expertise, and Culture (CLREC) announced the re-launch of the joint Foreign Area Officer (FAO) web portal on Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) on Jan. 13.

The new version of FAOweb on JKO replaces a pilot program managed by the Naval Postgraduate School since 2009. When that pilot ended in September 2015 with the website’s deactivation, the Navy’s Language, Regional Expertise, and Culture (LREC) Office stepped in to sponsor the follow-on solution.

“FAOweb is an important tool for the joint FAO community,” Director of CLERC Chris Wise said.

“When the Navy’s LREC Office asked CLREC to identify and manage how to deliver online training and other FAO professional

development, my team was excited to be a part of the answer. Together, we saw JKO as the best, quickest, and most cost-effective way to reach the more than 3,000 members of the joint FAO community.”

Now as a community of interest within JKO, active, reserve and civilian personnel from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force, serving in the FAO community around the globe, can reconnect with the resources the previous website offered.

The joint FAO community includes Marine Corps regional affairs officers as well as Air Force regional affairs strategists and political affairs strategists.

Training materials and capabilities will continue to become available incrementally over the coming weeks and months as JKO converts existing FAO courseware to be compatible with JKO’s traditional portal website and its mobile learning platform. The existing

FAOweb document library, with more than 5,000 items, is now available on the new FAOweb, and more than 200 lectures, seminars and other valuable resources are coming online through a linked video channel.

“FAOs have access again to the library that was hosted by Naval Postgraduate School and includes everything from servicespecific references to crosscultural training and advice for family members heading to their first overseas assignment,” CLREC’s FAOweb Content Manager Jim Murphy said. “FAOweb will ultimately be a clearinghouse for FAO-related professional development information and training. We’re particularly enthusiastic about the JKO Mobile application, which now allows FAOs to access training and working aids on their mobile devices.”

Joint FAOs can access FAOweb at jko.jten.mil/ faoweb. Instructions for accessing the mobile app are available on the site.

Questions about FAOweb may be directed to the appropriate service proponent office or Murphy by emailing questions and feedback to clrec@navy.mil or calling CLREC at 850-452-6218.

The littoral combat ship USS Fort Worth (LCS 3) successfully completed a scheduled preventive maintenance availability (PMAV) at Changi Naval Base on Jan. 11.

Compared to other Navy platforms, the littoral combat ship has a relatively small crew. Routine maintenance outside the scope of ship’s force ability is conducted during a PMAV, where labor and technical support is supplemented by civilian contractors who perform much of the preventive maintenance work in port.

The maintenance period included more than 500 preventative maintenance checks including 30 in combat systems, 497 in engineering, and 16 in operations.

“It’s really a joint effort between contractors and Fort Worth’s crew to come together and get the maintenance done,” LCS Crew 101 Chief Engineer Lt. Brian Newcomb said. “Without contractor support it would take an entire department about three weeks to complete the maintenance checks that we completed together in roughly seven days.”

In addition to preventative maintenance, Fort Worth also has a window of opportu-

nity to receive corrective maintenance.

“During this availability contractors removed, refurbished, and replaced the fly wheel for a ship service diesel generator [SSDG],” LCS Crew 101 Main Propulsion Assistant Lt. Brian Osborne said. “The SSDGs produce the ships electricity, and it’s very important to maintain them so that Fort Worth can continue to successfully contribute to maritime security operations.”

Fort Worth is the first LCS to deploy under the “3-2-1” manning concept, which allows LCS to sustain a longer rotational presence without fatiguing the crew during the extended deployment. The concept allows LCS to deploy more than twice as long as typical Navy ship deployments. It is named 3-2-1 because three rotational crews support two LCS ships, one of which is deployed. Future LCS deployments to the region will employ this concept, allowing for enhanced Navy presence throughout the Indo-Asia-Pacific.

Fort Worth is the second LCS to deploy to U.S. 7th Fleet as part of an initiative to simultaneously deploy up to four LCS to the Indo-Asia-Pacific region in just a few years. The third and fourth LCSs are planned to arrive in 2016, when the region will see two of these ships deployed at the same time.

do.”

Scientists and engineers – provided with 3-D Printing tools to experiment at the event – responded with innovative ideas to benefit the warfighter, and the response is ongoing.

They are using a 3-D printing device that significantly reduces production time, allowing rapid deployment of equipment part replacements back to the field.

NSWCDD – the first warfare center with a metal 3-D printer – displayed diverse 3-D printer-created products at the event.

For example, Print-A-Thon attendees saw a replica of a warship’s command center design console and a low-fidelity 3-D model used to gather input on layouts from the fleet on both coasts.

Due to the portable, lightweight nature, the models are reused over an extended amount of time, significantly reducing hours required to create small scale mockups by hand. 3-D printing the components also saves a considerable amount of labor as more durable models are produced.

Another example of rapid 3-D development is the rapid-prototype HexaPod Robot, which is in the early research and development phase. The robot could provide several advantages to the warfighter, such as low-power movement through difficult terrain, considering its small, covert, low-profile heat signature.

Engineers can transition a concept to full prototype in four weeks as compared to three to four months without 3-D technology.

Just 12 hours before the event, engineers decided the robot was too heavy, so they quickly remanufactured the base and top, reducing the weight from 2.65 kilograms to 2.06 kilograms. This is reflective of the bright future 3-D printing holds for the warfighter.

“The ability to move additive manufacturing into the field would allow for equipment to be made on demand, reducing the overall footprint on the ground and dramatically increasing flexibility,” NSWCDD Disruptive Technologies Engineer Jason Phillips said.

NSWCDD is also realizing the benefits of reproducing human anatomy thanks to 3-D Printing. Minimal effort is needed to fabricate complex human features, such as a human head.

At the Print-A-Thon, Instrumentation Engineer Kevin Streeff demonstrated how a laser tracking camera would be used to define a head. In real-time as the head of a plastic bust was scanned, a digital version appeared on the computer screen to set the stage for printing. A whole body scan can be completed in

what to do – how to act – when faced with challenging situations.

■ Establish counselors within the Fleet and Family Support Centers as a resource for victim support. Building on the success experienced with deployed resiliency counselors on big deck ships, there is a potential for gain if the Navy is able to replicate the counseling and support provided under the Navy Family Advocacy Program for Sailors impacted by sexual assault. In addition to enhanced care, the expectation is that the availability of these counselors will provide an opportunity to go after the social and structural barriers to malevictim reporting. These counselors will provide opportunities to collaborate with local civilian facilities and counselors to ensure the Navy is using every available measure to support the survivors. The Navy is currently determining how to pilot this concept to get a better assessment.

■ Improve the personnel management practices and procedures, following a sexual assault experience, to ensure Sailors are put in the best position possible to succeed.

This includes examining the present detailing practices so to preclude administrative or management decisions and actions that unintentionally result in the Sailor reliving the sexual assault experience. In addition to the expedited transfer program, this could also include honoring a survivor’s request for an expedited discharge, should they desire to leave the Navy.

■ Continue the efforts to educate our Sailors and reduce alcohol abuse in the Navy, particularly binge drinking. The data clearly reflects that alcohol abuse is a factor in most of the Navy’s sexual assault cases. The Navy needs to ensure that the accountability processes and options, administrative and otherwise, provide the tools needed to effectively deal with incidents where alcohol abuse has been established.

■ Better utilize technology to remove cultural barriers and stigma associated with reporting a sexual assault or seeking advice and counsel. The Navy is currently exploring a number of computer applications piloted at universities – it is expected to be able to begin introducing a Navy version within the year.

Richardson concluded his discussion by thanking Congress for the focus, attention, and assistance they have provided on this issue and the commitment to eliminate sexual assault.

“I want to continue to confront this scourge in our workforce,” Richardson said. “Until we go to zero we can never be satisfied.”

less than two hours.

This far-reaching capability includes prosthetics design and manufacturing, cosmetic and corrective surgery design, custom fit masks, and face pieces based on scanning living anatomy. The scanning technology can also be used scan mechanical components for modeling, analysis or re-engineering.

These innovations were among 10 featured at the Print-AThon.

“We have a suite of varying 3-D capabilities across the base,” NSWCDD Disruptive Technology Lead Mechanical Engineer Ricky Moore said. “We are developing lessons learned with regard to fabrication and design.”

In his 2013 State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama called 3-D printing a technology with the “potential to revolutionize the way we make almost everything.” The DOD has been a leader in utilizing 3-D printing to save time and money.

With origins dating back to the 1970s, 3-D printing contrasts were traditionally manufactured by adding instead of subtracting substances – such as metals or plastics to create an object.

For almost a decade, NSWCDD has employed additive manufacturing to reduce development time, but the focus on solving fleet problems began in 2013 when CDSA Dam Neck – in conjunction with CNO’s Rapid Innovation Cell – initiated the Navy’s consolidated effort to bring 3-D printing to fleet Sailors.

The Navy’s first-ever “Print-the-Fleet” was hosted by CDSA in June 2013 to raise fleet awareness of Additive Manufacturing and provide an understanding of how 3-D printing can solve fleet problems. This two-day event also provided Navy Additive Manufacturing professionals first-hand feedback from Sailors on what they would like to see printed.

Continued from B1 The ceremony focused on what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was trying to instill in a fragile nation more than the man himself – a sense of community – a collective that worked together to form a better place.

“We can all contribute to make our community a better place, there are many avenues in which to bring assis-

tance to those who need it the most,” Spencer said.

Although Jan. 20 is a federal holiday, in 1994 Congress declared it a national day of service calling it a “Day On, Not a Day Off.” King believed acts of service to the local community were a great equalizer for many Americans, so we as a nation, are asked to use that day in commemoration of his beliefs. To help build the community – and society – Dr.

Continued from B1 In 1944, after serving in Guadalcanal and Guam, he joined the campaign in Iwo Jima. Two days after arriving on the island, Williams picked up a 70-pound flamethrower and walked ahead of his infantry’s tanks for four hours clearing their path of enemy machine gun fire.

President Harry S. Truman awarded him the Medal of Honor two years later for his actions.

Williams served during the Battle of Iwo Jima until he was wounded in March of 1945. He returned to the U.S., was awarded a Purple Heart and released from active duty. Later, he served in the Marine Corps Reserves for 17 years.

Williams is the last surviving Medal of Honor recipient from the Battle of Iwo Jima.

The new 784-foot-long vessel will feature a 52,000 square foot flight deck, fuel

and equipment storage, repair spaces, magazines, and mission-planning spaces.

Able to accommodate up to 250 personnel, the new ESB ship will support multiple missions such as airborne mine countermeasures, counter-piracy operations, maritime security operations, humanitarian aid and disaster-relief missions, and crisis response operations.

In addition, the vessel will be capable of supporting MH-53 and MH-60 helicopters, with an option for future upgrades to support

MV-22 tilt-rotor aircraft.

VIRGINIA WAR MEMORIAL’S POPULAR ARTIFACTS ROADSHOW RETURNS

By Jeb Hockman Virginia War Memorial

RICHMOND, VA

Whether it’s an old uniform cap or helmet, a box of medals and ribbons, a flag, sword, or a canteen – every piece of military memorabilia has a story to tell.

So anyone who would like to learn more about a military-related item that’s been passed down in his or her family, was discovered in the attic or found at a yard sale, is invited to bring it in a for free expert review at the Virginia War Memorial’s Artifacts Roadshow – Winter Edition on Jan. 30, from 10

a.m.-12:30 p.m. in the Memorial’s Paul and Phyllis Galanti Education Center, Richmond.

Virginia War Memorial Curator Jesse Smith and noted military memorabilia expert Robert House will again be on hand to personally review and offer their insights on the original and history of military items from any historical era – from the Revolutionary War until today.

Admission to the Artifacts Roadshow is free as are reviews. Donations to the non-profit Virginia War Memorial Foundation are appreciated. Parking is also free at the Memorial, located at 621 South Belvidere Street in Richmond.

Sponsors of the 2016 Artifacts Roadshow – Winter Edition are Bank of Virginia and the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), 3rd District, Department of Virginia. Media sponsors are WCVE Public Radio and the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Since the first Artifacts Roadshow was held in January 2012, this program has become one of the Virginia War Memorial’s most popular twice-yearly events. While Jesse Smith, Robert House, and other experts will be pleased to tell the story about each item reviewed and give preservation tips, they cannot offer appraisals or monetary evaluations of items.

“We always look forward to seeing the items that people bring in for us to review,” Memorial Curator Jesse Smith said. “The Artifacts Roadshow gives folks the opportunity to rummage through their closets and attics and learn more about military items that may have belonged to a family member. Robert House and I are always astounded by the variety of items we get to review.”

Small arms, weapons and ordnance items brought to the Artifacts Roadshow will be checked, inspected and tagged for safety by trained representatives from Green Top Hunting and Fishing prior to review. Vendors and dealers are prohibited at this event.

7-Eleven recruits military vets for franchise competition

By Elizabeth Evans 7-Eleven Public Relations

HAMPTON ROADS

If you have served in the armed forces, are looking to open a franchise and be your own boss, 7-Eleven, Inc. has something in store for you.

Dallas-based 7-Eleven is recruiting qualiďŹ ed men and women who have been honorably discharged to enlist in the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second Operation: Take Command competition. One deserving and lucky veteran will be awarded a 7-ElevenÂŽ feefree franchise, a value of up to $190,000.

The winner can choose any of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7-Eleven convenience stores available in the continental U.S. at the contestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culmination.

Interested veterans can enter online at www.veteransfranchisegiveaway.com now through Feb. 26. The winner will be announced in June. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than 6,000 ex-military men and women applied last year, and 1,700 were vetted in our ďŹ rst Operation: Take Command campaign,â&#x20AC;?

7-Eleven Vice President of Franchise Systems Greg Franks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ďŹ nalists were outstanding, and many who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win, still took command of their careers and moved forward through our normal qualiďŹ cation process to own their own 7-Eleven

franchise.â&#x20AC;?

Salil Gautam, of Chesapeake, was a winner in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural competition.

An Army veteran, he opened his 7-Eleven store on Sept. 29, 2015, at 1618 Indian River Road in Norfolk. The other winners were Navy veteran Mark Anthony Page, who franchises a 7-Eleven store in Burleson, Texas, and Army reservist Robert Kemna, who recently took the reins of his new 7-Eleven store in Miami, Florida. Of the 6,000 total applicants, Virginia ranked third, with 227 veterans who applied last year. Among those, three Hampton Roads veterans, including Gautam, were among the top 10 semiďŹ nalists.

Operation: Take Command initiative is a multi-phased competition that includes meeting 7-Elevenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s franchising qualiďŹ cations and successful interviews. The top 25 will be invited to submit a video on why they deserve a 7-Eleven franchise. Up to seven will be selected from this pool for the semi-ďŹ nal competition.

Through votes on 7-Elevenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page, the public will select three ďŹ nalists to be interviewed by 7-Elevenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s franchise department management and narrowed to one winner.

Contestants will go through the same qualiďŹ cation process as all 7-Eleven franchise applicants including credit evaluation, a leadership test, business plan development, budget, and store location preferences.

HOMEOWNERS LIABLE FOR SNOW, ICE CONTROL Brandpoint

During the winter months, it’s common to see shopping centers and business owners out and about clearing snow and ice from pathways, parking spaces and entrances.

But this isn’t just good business to help customers get in the door – it’s also a liability issue should someone slip and fall and injure themselves. Homeowners, too, face similar, albeit more limited, liability if they fail to take adequate steps to remove such slippery hazards from their property.

Generally speaking, homeowners are responsible for limiting dangers on their property, but in some cases, this can also extend to public sidewalks abutting your home. In some localities, governments also require homeowners clear snow and ice or face fines. A regional survey of county and municipal agencies conducted by the Salt

Institute found 83 percent have written policies directing property owners to remove accumulated snow and ice within 24 hours of the end of the snowstorm. Penalties for property owners not complying, can range from nominal tickets, to misdemeanors punishable by up to 90 days in jail, to fines of up to $500.

Shoveling snow is simple, but ice removal is another matter, and nothing works better to remove or prevent ice from forming than salt. Salt lowers water’s freezing point, the temperature at which it changes from a liquid to a solid and vice versa. The most effective way to use salt is to melt the snow or ice that is right at the pavement. If you can do this, then you will find it much easier to shovel the snow or ice from the sidewalk.

This process, preventing water from freezing in the first place, is called anti-icing. It is best achieved by putting salt, or some other

anti-icing material, down on the sidewalk when a freeze or a snowfall is expected. In contrast, melting water already frozen is called de-icing and in this case salt is applied once ice appears. It still works, but is less efficient than anti-icing.

Commercially available anti-icing materials include salt, sodium chloride; calcium chloride; magnesium chloride; potassium acetate; and calcium magnesium acetate.

Each has its advantages and disadvantages, but salt remains the best choice for use at temperatures above 15 degrees Fahrenheit, -9.4 C. For extremely low temperatures, look for a mixture using calcium or magnesium chloride instead.

Laws regarding snow and ice clearing vary by state and from locality to locality, but most mandate some action must be taken within a reasonable time period, often 24 hours, after it stops snowing. For

90 cents of every dollar supports programs and services for local military families.

example, the Illinois Snow and Ice Removal Act states that any owner who removes or attempts to remove snow or ice from sidewalks abutting the property shall not be liable for any personal injuries allegedly caused by the snowy or icy condition of the sidewalk resulting from his or her acts or omissions unless the alleged misconduct was willful or wanton.

The dangers from slips and falls should not be taken lightly, especially for the elderly. Each year, thousands are rushed to emergency rooms as a result of icy falls with injuries that could have easily been prevented. One enterprising hospital, St. Vincent’s in Indianapolis, Indiana, even decided to give away road salt to local residents to try and prevent such injuries and the resulting emergency room visits. In the end, the person who is most likely to slip and fall is the homeowner themselves.

NEWS, NOTES FROM THE WORLD OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING

By Jonathan McLarty Contributing Writer

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE): Will be presenting the 2016 Royal Rumble on Sunday, Jan. 24 from Orlando, Florida. This event will be broadcast live on the WWE Network, which is free for 30 days to new subscribers. Mr. McMahon has returned to television in recent weeks to back-up The Authority – Triple H and Stephanie McMahon – in their campaign against Roman Reigns. Reigns is the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion, having recently defeated former champion Sheamus O’Shaunessy for the title on an episode of Monday Night Raw. Reigns has rebelled against the authority figures, attacking Triple H and Mr. McMahon on multiple occasions. As payback, for the first time in Royal Rumble history, the 30-man Royal Rumble match this year will see the winner being awarded the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Reigns will be competing in this match, so he would have to outlast the 29 other men to hold on to his title. Other competitors include Chris Jericho, Big Show, Dolph Ziggler, The Wyatt Family, and “The Beast Incarnate" Brock Lesnar.

There is always discussion of who may show up as a surprise participant in the Royal Rumble match. One name making the round is “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles. Fans know this name from his decade long run with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling Alliance, as well as his work in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. His most recent run in New Japan has brought a renewed inter-

est in his career. He is now a free agent, after losing to Shinsuke Nakamura at New Japan’s Wrestle Kingdom 10 event and being unceremoniously ousted from The Bullet Club – a group of rebels of which Styles was the leader. Current NXT Champion Finn Balor was a former competitor in New Japan and member of The Bullet Club, so competitors making the jump to WWE from New Japan is not unprecedented.

Also announced for the Royal Rumble event is a Last Man Standing match between Kevin Owens and the Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose. These two men have brawled since Ambrose defeated Owens for the title at WWE TLC in December. Owens, through his brutal sneak attacks, has proven that he knows no limits and will do what his necessary to regain his title at Royal Rumble.

WrestleMania 32 will be taking place on April 7. The night before the big event is the 2016 WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The first inductee has been announced for the Class of 2016 – Sting.

Impact Wrestling: Impact Wrestling has now begun to air on the Pop network.

The World Title Series concluded with four men reaching the semi-finals: Eric Young; Ethan Carter, III (EC3); Bobby Lashley; and Matt Hardy. EC3 and Matt Hardy faced off in the final match, resulting in EC3 scoring the victory and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Kurt Angle is competing in his farewell tour with TNA, taking on stars such as Drew Galloway and Bobby Lashley. High profile tag team Beer Money, Bobby Roode and James Storm, have re-

Jonathan McLarty

united after Storm’s surprise return to the company.

Vanguard Championship Wrestling (VCW): Check back soon for my recap of the latest happenings in Vanguard Championship Wrestling. A new VCW Heavyweight Champion has been crowned, and the new champ will be

challenged by former WWE Superstar Carlito on Feb. 6, in Norfolk.

Newman says 2016 NASCAR rules package will make for good competition

By Rick Minter Universal Uclick

As Sprint Cup veteran, Ryan Newman heads into his third season at Richard Childress Racing and his third with crew chief Luke Lambert, he’s hoping to break a twoyear winless streak and possibly win his first Sprint Cup championship.

Newman, who won 17 races – including the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400 – driving for Team Penske and Stewart-Haas Racing, moved to Richard Childress Racing (RCR) in 2014 and finished second in the Chase to Kevin Harvick that year. He made the Chase for the Sprint Cup again in 2015, but wound up 11th in the final standings.

Newman said this week that he believes he and Lambert are poised to return to the win column.

“It’s been a good run for our two years together,” Newman said. “I look forward to getting our first win together and that first championship. We’ve been close so many

times.”

The biggest question heading into 2016 for Newman, as well as his fellow Sprint Cup drivers, is a new lower-downforce rules package that NASCAR has mandated.

For 2016, Cup cars will have a 3.5-inch rear spoiler, decreased from 6 inches; a .25-inch leading edge, previously 2 inches, on the front splitter; and a 33-inch wide splitter extension panel, radiator pan, replacing the current 38-inch pan. Goodyear is in the process of developing a tire compound to run with the package.

Newman pointed out that the downforce isn’t as low with the new package as some might want to believe.

“The package we will race at every track except the superspeedways is still more downforce than what we ran five or six years ago and still a couple of thousand pounds of downforce more than 15 years ago,” Newman said. We are taking downforce off from what it has been the last couple of years. It’s definitely a step in right direction.

Courtesy of NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Ryan Newman says that the new rules package “makes the driver the most important part of the race car.”

We saw that last year when we ran the package at Kentucky and Darlington.”

Newman, who has an engineering degree from Purdue University, believes the new package takes some of the aerodynamics out the equation, which should make the on-track competition more entertaining.

“It makes cars less dependent on each other for aerodynamics,” Newman said.

“The car in front always has best air, no matter what. It’s making the most downforce, and that makes cars stick and the tires stick to the track. The car behind it, all he has is a little bit of a draft. He has less downforce, he’s fighting his car a little bit more, so his tires are getting hotter. It’s just a matter of time before the lead car runs away. If we ever get back to zero down-

“The Phenomenal” AJ Styles – is a WWE debut in his future?

force, that’s when all cars will be equal.”

Newman believes the less aerodynamics are at play, the more emphasis there is on the driver’s contribution, and fans should see some of that this season with the new rules.

“It makes the driver the most important part of the race car, which he should be, as far as making it go fast,” Newman said.

“That’s what we’re working towards.”

In past seasons, Newman has been able to win lots of races by strategy – staying on the track with older tires, or stretching his fuel farther than his competitors. Whether that strategy will work with the new package depends on the tire compound Goodyear develops.

“That’s the best question there is,” Newman said. “We don’t know what tires will be like. Goodyear has been put back to the drawing board making tires to compensate for lack of downforce. We have failed a lot of tires in last couple of years.

Now we have to go back and redefine the tires and air pressure we run. It’s just like when you have a heavy load on a street tire, you have to put in more air pressure so the sidewalls won’t wrinkle up. We also worry about increased rolling resistance from tires under lower pressure, but grip is the most important part. Goodyear’s homework in the offseason will be a bigger variable in how our strategy works than the downforce difference.”

Admirals: Road trip ends with victory in Manchester Press Release MANCHESTER, N.H.

The Norfolk Admirals went threefor-four during a four-game road trip, ending with a 5-4 shootout win against the Manchester Monarchs, of Manchester, New Hampshire, on Jan. 17, afternoon at Verizon Wireless Arena.

Winger Devin Mantha picked up his fourth goal of the season after Greg Chase grabbed possession of the puck near the right wall. Mantha received Chase’s bouncing pass after it hit off of Steven Whitney’s stick. Mantha’s shot in the slot was deflected in by Manchester’s netiminder Doug Carr at 6:15 in the first

period.

The Monarchs soon answered to even the score at 7:33 after Danick Paquette notched one in from the top of the right circle after it ricocheted off of Norfolk goalie Nic Riopel’s chest, making it 1-1 in the opening frame.

Manchester scored first in the second period at 1:25, after Joe Diamond carried it into the left circle of the Admirals zone; he passed it through the slot to Matt MacKenzie. MacKenzie’s shot near the hash marks hopped over Riopel when Derek Arnold swatted it in at the top of the crease putting Manchester in the lead, 2-1. Right after the Admirals killed the penalty, Austin

Block attempted to shove the puck in as Riopel fell, but could not convert. Maxim Kitsyn then collected it in front goal to widen the lead to 3-1 at 6:08. Riopel was then pulled in favor of Ty Rimmer.

Admirals had a two-man advantage after Manchester blueliners David Kolomatis and Mackenzie both sat in the sin bin for high-sticking. Whitney’s one-timer at the high slot tightened Manchester’s lead to 3-2 at 12:38 in the second frame. At 16:09, Alexis Loiseau tied the game during a power play when his equalizer hit just underneath the crossbar from the right ring.

During a 4-on-3 power play for the Monarchs, Diamond set a be-

hind-the-net pass to defenseman Michael Boivin. With just 40.5 seconds remaining, Boivin put the Monarchs back on top to wrap up the middle frame, 4-3.

The Admirals tied the game again after Nick MacNeil fed the puck from the right boards to Nick Pageau at the right point. Pageau found wide-open Captain Jordan Hill when his laser from the left point marked the only goal in the third period at 16:41, launching the Admirals and the Monarchs into overtime.

After a scoreless extra skate, both teams missed their first two attempts in the shootout. During Norfolk’s second try, Scott Allen slowed down

as he got near the net and scored top shelf, securing a win for the Admirals, as Rimmer managed to save the final stab on net.

Nic Riopel who was pulled after letting in three goals in the second period, kept out 20 out of 23 shots for the Admirals. Ty Rimmer who replaced Riopel, turned away 16 out of 17 attempts on net, while Monarch Doug Carr blocked 26 out of 30 for Manchester. Norfolk scored twice while the Monarchs only converted on one, as both teams had seven man-advantages.

The Admirals will return back home to face the Elmira Jackals for back-to-back games Jan. 22, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 7:15 p.m.
