Marines instruct Sailors in combat marksmanship

ARABIAN GULF

Shoot. Move. Communicate. For the Marines aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), this mantra has been engrained in them from the time they first set foot on the yellow footprints at the recruit depot.

For the Sailors of Tactical Air Control Squadron (TACRON) 21 Marine Augmentation Team (MAT), this is a new skill set. The MAT Sailors of TACRON 21 are primarily air traffic controllers and are used to communicating with aircraft, but now under the instruction of the

Center for Security Forces Public Affairs CHESAPEAKE

The Center for Security Forces (CENSECFOR) Detachment Chesapeake spotlighted its newest training asset designed to heighten the effectiveness and realism of its security force training, Jan. 21.

The new training simu-

lator, a wooden open-roof structure, consists of eight rooms of various configurations and entryways that will allow for much more realistic advanced security force training.

Since 2012, the detachment had used a basic wire fence to simulate the interior rooms of a building, and the major drawback was students could always see

around the corner.

“We recognized the need to make our training scenarios more realistic,” CENSECFOR Detachtment Chesapeake Instructor Chief Gunner’s Mate David McNutt said. “The logical step forward was to improve our current training simulators.”

Commander CSG-8 visits Bulkeley at sea

By MC2 Michael J. Lieberknecht USS Harry S. Truman Public Affairs

ARABIAN GULF

Carrier Strike Goup (CSG) 8 Commander Rear Adm. Bret C. Batchelder visited the guided-missile destroyer USS Bulkeley (DDG 84) to meet and speak with the crew, Jan. 21.

Upon arrival, Batchelder was greeted by Bulkeley’s Commanding Officer Cmdr. Hank Allen before meeting with officers in the ship’s wardroom.

Batchelder received a tour of the ship including combat information center, the vertical launch missile system, and central control station. Batchelder took time during the tour to talk with various members of the crew.

“Thank you for all you do and your families who support you,” Batchelder said. “Your families particularly have to live with your absence every day. They could never get enough recognition for their support.”

Batchelder also emphasized

the crew’s role in the strike group during deployment.

“It’s a team effort and it couldn’t be done without Bulkeley,” Batchelder said.

“What Bulkeley does daily in support of Truman allows our pilots to continue their mission, and to make it back safely each night.”

After the tour, Batchelder was escorted to the flight deck for departure.

“We were honored to have our strike group commander onboard today,” Allen said.

“For him to take the time out

of his busy schedule shows his concern for the crew and his commitment to ensuring that we have everything that we need to support the mission. The crew loved having him onboard and getting the opportunity to show off Bulkeley.”

Bulkeley is currently deployed as part of the Harry S. Truman CSG in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, maritime security operations, and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations.

WOUNDED WARRIORS More than 40 seriously wounded, ill and injured Sailors and Coast Guardsmen – including 20 first timers – traveled to Naval Base Ventura County, California, Jan. 16, to participate in the first Navy Wounded Warrior-Safe Harbor adaptive sports camp of the year.

Sarah Hall, a Homeschool Program parent, believes her son is able to relate to other children because of the shared experiences among military families.

“My son is able to socialize with other kids around his age that understand the absence and separation of a parent because of deployment,” Hall said. “My son is able to make friends easily, which is a blessing since the life of a military family can create constant traveling.

Knowing that he will be in classroom learning and participating with children that share the same experiences is great.”

The Homeschool Program is proven to be a success in the last couple of years by the increase amount of participants. Students and parents are able build a community with common goals and experiences.

Naval Station Norfolk is the only installation that provides home-school support groups for military family in the Hampton Roads area free of cost to the family because of generous contribution from the military community.

IKE Carrier Strike Group completes FST-GC Carrier Strike Group 10 Public Affairs NORFOLK

Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 10 participated in the Fleet Synthetic Training-Group Commander (FST-GC) exercise, Jan. 11-21.

The CSG-10 staff, aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69), Carrier Air Wing 3, and Destroyer Squadron 26 joined forces to exercise the strike group's ability to integrate and perform during various synthetic scenarios throughout the two week exercise, which is broken into academic and execution phases.

The training placed the strike group in a realistic training scenario to complete taskings that progressively built into more challenging requirements. Participants included personnel from the U.S., Britain, Denmark and Germany, as well as guided-missile cruisers USS San Jacinto (CG 56), USS Monterey (CG 61), and guided-missile destroyers USS Stout (DDG 55), USS Roosevelt (DDG 80), USS Mason (DDG 87) and USS Nitze (DDG 94).

"By simulating the operational environment, participants are able to focus on the planning and execution of highend operations,” CSG 10 Operations Officer Cmdr. Matthew Rick said.

Leading the exercise was Tactical Training Group Atlantic, a tenant command of CSG 4, whose mission is to provide advanced tactical training to improve proficiency in warfighting and joint operations to the CSG. Computer-generated environmental conditions, political unrest and foreign military provocations tested the warfare commanders and operators’ decision making process and pre-planned responses to these complex situations.

“FST-GC is an invaluable training tool for exercising our ability to integrate, innovate, and work together as a strike group and alongside our coalition partners,” CSG 10 Commander Rear Adm. Jesse Wilson said. “The completion of this exercise is another milestone in preparing for our upcoming deployment which helps to build confidence and teamwork, aiding in our success during combat operations.”

GULF OF OMAN

Advancements in technology and communication help close the distance between Sailors and families to help maintain their connection during deployment.

Two new fathers, thousands of miles away from home and loved ones, utilized these advancements.

The technology allowed two Sailors, Aviation Electronics Technician 2nd Class John MacDonald and Aviation Machinist’s Mate 3rd Class Richard Boone, currently deployed on board the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3,) the opportunity to meet their newborn sons during a video teleconference (VTC) on Jan. 13.

There, on a live-streaming feed, they interacted with their children for the very first time.

“It felt amazing seeing my family,” MacDonald said. “My son was born Dec. 8, 2015, and I had yet to see him in real time. It was a blessing for sure.”

Each Sailor was able to chat with their

family for approximately 15 minutes.

Boone described the video chat as a very emotional experience for him and his wife.

“My favorite part was the interaction between my son and me,” Boone said. “I made my wife videos of me talking to my son so she can play them everyday and then he would get used to my voice. He remembered my voice from the videos and started smiling at the screen while I watched them and talked.”

This is the first time Kearsarge has organized a VTC for new fathers this deployment. Religious Program Specialist 1st Class Jerry Hutchins, who helped organized the call, emphasized the importance of trying to keep Sailors connected to their families.

“The whole point is to connect new parents with their newborns,” Hutchins said.

“We aren’t able to send them home during deployment, so this is a way for them to stay connected with their families.”

The VTC was appreciated by the Sailors and their families back home.

“I was so excited to see my family,” MacDonald said. “I loved seeing my wife and my mother-in-law, and seeing my son was incredible. He was wide awake and seemed to recognize my voice from the audio books.”

Kearsarge is the flagship for the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group and, with the embarked 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, is deployed in support of maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations.

Military Sealift Command (MSC) hosted a special observance ceremony in recognition of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’ s birthday on board Naval Station Norfolk, Jan. 20.

The celebration was coordinated by MSC’s Equal Employment Opportunity team and was held to commemorate Dr. King’s leadership against racial inequality.

“Thank you for joining us today to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,” said Mr. Clarence White, the celebration’s Master of Ceremonies. “Dr. King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia.

“Dr. King was a Baptist minister and social activist who led the civil rights movement in the United States from the mid-1950s until his death by assassin in 1968,” White said. “His leadership was fundamental to the success of the civil rights movement and in ending the legal segregation of African Americans in the south and other parts of the United States.”

Mr. Carneal Smith of MSC’s Equal Employment Opportunity program played the National Anthem on his saxophone for the approximately 100 civilian and military MSC teammates in attendance.

The opening ceremonies

were followed by an address from Key Note Speaker Dr. Ella P. Ward, a city council member for Chesapeake.

“I am glad you took the time out of your work-day to honor one of the greatest civil rights leaders to ever exist, the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,” Ward said.

“Some in this day and time may feel as though we no longer need to observe Dr. King’s birthday, but trust me it is important that we do.

Even as we begin 2016, we need to take a time-out from business as usual to pay tribute to this great leader. Dr. King did a lot of great things but there are still a lot of great things that need to be done.”

Dr. Martian Luther King, Jr. would have celebrated his 87th birthday if not for his assassination on April 4, 1968.

“Dr. King was with us but a very short time,” Ward said.

“While he is known for leading the Civil Rights Movement, what he really led was a movement for peace for generations to come.”

Ward began her third, fouryear term on the Chesapeake City Council in July 2015.

She was first elected to the Chesapeake City Council in 2006.

“It is important that we pay tribute to Dr. King,” Ward said. “We must accurately remember his life, history, character and courage of great leaders like the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.”

USS Eisenhower hosts education fair

By MC3 Justin Peeler USS Eisenhower Public Affairs

NORFOLK

Representatives from more than two dozen colleges and universities held an education fair in the hangar bay of the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) on Jan. 19.

Sponsored by the Norfolk Navy College Office (NCO), the event, which was open to the entire waterfront, provided Sailors with a chance to investigate available opportunities to advance both their careers and their educational interests.

Eisenhower’s Educational Services Officer Ensign Gerardo Arbulu said the fair gave Eisenhower Sailors information about not only the many different schools available to them but also the best way to finance their education with little or no money spent.

“Sailors can definitely benefit from college education,” Arbulu said. “Receiving a free education can help Sailors that want to eventually become officers and can also help those who just want to do better during their boards.”

Personnel Specialist 2nd Class Henry Zeldich, currently working toward earning a degree from Penn State University, said the fair was an opportunity for Sailors to learn how to reach their educational goals.

“This fair is a great starting point for getting your education on track, and the resources are all right here,” Zeldich said. “I think a lot of Sailors will benefit.”

With an upcoming deployment scheduled to begin later this year, Eisenhower Sailors will also have the opportunity to take classes while underway. The Navy College Afloat Program (NCPACE) and Tuition Assistance (TA) afford Sailors access to college classrooms while they serve at sea.

“We’re preparing for deployment, so

■ special section insert Check out the Careers and Continuing Education special section inserted into this issue of The Flagship!

we’re pushing for Sailors to sign up for NCPACE,” Arbulu said. “The instructors who come aboard will offer a lot of courses in math and English.”

NCO hopes to sponsor three eight-week terms over the course of the ship’s deployment. For the first term, Sailors may take one class; for the following terms, Sailors will be permitted to take up to two classes at a time. Crew members can therefore take a maximum of five classes during the deployment.

“I feel that if the Navy is going to offer these opportunities for us, then we should take advantage of them,” Electronics Technician 3rd Class Victoria Ybarra said.

“Taking college courses now will help me prepare for my future as a civilian if I get out or give me an edge to advancing in my rate if I decide to stay in.”

Bill Rodgers, an NCO representative, said he believes the Navy needs Sailors to be as educated and prepared as they can be.

“An educated Sailor is an improved Sailor,” he said.

Other programs represented at the fair included Troops to Teachers, a program that helps military personnel obtain teaching certificates and places them in classrooms around the country, and the United Services Military Apprenticeship Program, a training program that allows military members to complete civilian apprenticeship requirements while serving on active duty. NCO also provided information about the GI Bill and the Navy’s Tuition Assistance program.

MC2 Aren Everett Sailors, assigned to the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), and Marines, assigned to the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, hike during a Morale, Welfare and Recreation tour in Oman.

The crew of the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) departed Muscat, Oman, Jan. 12, after a four-day port visit.

The liberty visit gave Sailors and Marines a chance to relax and experience the rich heritage of Oman.

While in port, Sailors and Marines took advantage of the opportunities to enjoy the sights of Oman by taking part in various Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) sponsored events and experience the local culture.

MWR activities included a Muscat City Tour, a tour of Nizwa, Bahla and Jabrin Forts, exploring multiple wadis, snorkeling, hiking, fishing and day trips to Wahiba Sands, Wadi Bani Khalid and Jebel Shams.

In Oman, a wadi is a bed or valley of water, and Wadi Shab is one of the more scenic wadis in the area, boasting a famous keyhole in which people travel from all over the world to swim.

Logistics Specialist 3rd Class Joseph Lee said this was his first trip to Oman and that he took part in the Wadi Shab Coastal Trek.

“I didn’t know what to expect, but it was nice,” Lee said. “I got a lot of exercise and the keyhole was amazing. It’s definitely something I will remember.”

Lee said that he felt privileged to have had the experience of traveling to Oman and seeing the country through the MWR tours.

“Walking through all those rocks and pebbles barefoot was painful,” Lee said. “But when I finally made it to the keyhole and jumped into that water, it was worth it.”

Whether out on an MWR excursion or shopping at the souks, Sailors and Marines interacted with the Omani locals and learned more about the region's culture and rich history.

“The people of Oman were very friendly, and shared stories and facts about their culture with us,” Machinist’s Mate 1st Class Carolina Hummel said. “This is why Oman was a great liberty port.”

USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) is the flagship for the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group and, with the embarked 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, is deployed in support of maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations.

foundation for future joint training ops Continued from front The MAT Sailors worked hand-inhand with Marine units during the deployment work-up cycle, building the skillsets that would be needed in the challenging operating environment they would be faced once deployed.

Already well prepared for whatever mission they would be called upon to execute, the joint-firearms training with the BLT Weapons company on board Kearsarge has only served to bolster their capabilities and increase their combat effectiveness.

As the sun rose in the Arabian Gulf, Sailors and Marines donned their body armor and gathered on the flight deck on board Kearsarge to go over the mornings’ course of fire.

“Today you will be shooting the modified Table 2 Marine Rifle Qualification course of fire,” BLT Weapons Company Executive Officer Marine Corps Capt. Aaron Garbade said.

“This course will help develop a foundation for future tactical shooting evolutions and will build confidence in your weapon system and optic.”

The Sailors listened attentively as they held their M4 service rifles to their chest.

“You will be executing controlled pairs, hammer pairs and box drills on the targets in front of you,” Garbade said. “Follow my commands and the commands of the line coaches and we will have a safe and productive range.”

After the completion of the safety brief the Sailors and Marines walked to their firing positions on the port aircraft elevator, stood in front of their targets and waited for the exercise to begin.

“Green Range” sounded over the

MCSA Dana D. Legg Sailors, attached to Tactical Air Control Squadron 21, practice shooting techniques in the hangar bay of the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3).

1MC and upon the command to load and make ready, seven Sailors inserted magazines into their weapons and the metallic sound of bolts going home on chambered rounds echoed down the line.

The Sailors had practiced this course of fire three previous times with the range coaches they now stood in front of. They knew the commands that would come and the order in which they would be firing each drill.

As Garbade commanded “targets,” it was echoed by line coaches and in a swift movement seven rifle muzzles were brought to bear on the silhouettes 20 yards in front of the shooters. The cracks of rifle-fire split the calm morning air, and in the distance, sprays of water could be seen as the rounds impacted the ocean.

The Sailors began to execute the range in a rhythmic fashion; targets, up-on-fire, safe-down; targets, up-onfire, safe-down.

The Sailors continued to fire the range through the morning under the watchful eye of the Marine line coaches and the range safety officer.

As each Sailor emptied their magazine they executed a well rehearsed tactical magazine change.

“The proficiency of the Sailors during the conduct of this course of fire is a direct reflection on the time and effort they put into learning the material and the number of repetitions they practiced it,” Air Traffic Controller 1st Class Joshua Lowery said. “We practice on the Navy course of fire which serves to teach the Sailors the basics of marksmanship and weapons safety, but this course has given us the opportunity to shoot in a more realistic scenario.”

By the time “Red Range” sounded over the 1MC the Sailors of TACRON 21 had expended 840 rounds of ammunition and had completed the course of fire twice.

Upon completion of the evolution the Sailors and Marines gathered together to debrief the range and begin their police call of the flight deck. As they came together, they met each other with smiles and handshakes, a testament to the collective satisfaction with the conduct of the range.

“Shooting is fun,” TACRON 21’s Detachment Assistant Officer in Charge Navy Lt. Cmdr. Patrick Johnson said. “When you pair it up with the knowledge and professionalism of the Marine instructors, you create a learning environment that is beneficial to all parties. The Sailors have gained a valuable skill that they would otherwise never be exposed to and the Marines have had the opportunity to teach weapons proficiency to a brand new audience without the background of Marine rifle training.”

The Marine Corps has a saying, “steel sharpens steel.” The concept that warriors grow from training other warriors in the art of battle is a thread that runs through every training evolution. As the Sailors of TACRON 21 and the Marines of the BLT parted ways on the flight deck, it was apparent that this saying still held true.

The joint weapons exercise helps to develop Sailors and Marines to more tactically proficient in the use of their weapon systems, increased the proficiency of the Marine instructors and continues to lay the foundation for future joint training operations.

| Program mission

is to reduce deaths, assaults Continued from front hosted this training,” NSN Assistant Security Officer Lt. Cmdr. Mike McComb said. “I coordinated similar presentations through the FBI LEOKA program at previous duty stations and knew that there is a need and predicted there would be a strong interest for this training in the Hampton Roads area.”

The mission of the FBI's LEOKA Program is to reduce incidents of law enforcement deaths and assaults. This class included multiple case studies related to 20 years of FBI LEOKA research. This program relies on a detailed analysis of the deadly mix involving officers, offenders and the circumstances under which they come together that result in death or serious bodily injury to police officers. Demographic and behavioral descriptors of victim officers and offenders were discussed, as well as the recurring circumstances under which police officers are most often killed or injured. The delivery of the course content included lectures, interactive discussions, analysis of LEOKA data and video interviews with surviving officers and offenders. Additionally, on days two and three, Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) provided a presentation covering the Washington Navy Yard shooting and response.

The seminars were led by an instructor with the LEOKA Program in the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division Marcus Young. Young had a long and honorable career in law enforcement and was most notably awarded the Medal of Valor in 2004 following an officer involved shooting incident. Since 2009, Young has presented FBI programs to more than 24,000 law enforcement and military personnel throughout the U.S. and overseas.

“The training provided by the FBI and NCIS was highimpact and highly relevant to today's events. The real-life case studies provided in person by NCIS Special Agent Brian Kelley and Marcus Young provided a sobering reminder of the deadly realities law enforcement officers face in today's society,” McComb said. “The training covered toolsets which every law enforcement and military professional require in the course of day-to-day operations. We were exceptionally fortunate to have had the opportunity to host such a great event and reach so many agencies.”

SECNAV, SECAG VISIT WILLIAM P. LAWRENCE OF THE GREAT GREEN FLEET ■ green fuel Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus shows Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack a fuel sample of alternative fuel aboard USS William P. Lawrence (DDG 110).

By Lt. j.g. Jane Baird USS William P. Lawrence Public Affairs

PACIFIC OCEAN

Guided missile-destroyer USS William P. Lawrence (DDG 110) hosted Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, Jan. 20, while participating in the Great Green Fleet kickoff celebration.

Mabus and Vilsack embarked an MH-60S helicopter from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 14 to rendezvous with the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer.

Lawrence, which departed Naval Base San Diego, California, for deployment Jan. 19, was conducting a replenishment at sea with USNS Guadalupe (T-AO-200) using a blend of advanced biofuel and marine diesel.

Mabus emphasized this type of replenishment at sea “is not unique. It is the new normal.”

When asked about his first replenishment at sea using alternative fuel, Lawrence Commanding Officer Cmdr. Walter C. Mainor said, “As a whole, these energy saving measures allow us to be on sta-

Biological ticks

By Sara Jane Arnett Military Spouse Contributor

I’m in that stage of life where the old expression “my biological clock is ticking” is ever present. My husband and I have three beautiful, healthy, and happy boys that are the best things that ever happened to us.

Hands down. So with that being said, I used to find myself absolutely, positively 100 percent sure I was good with being the mama of only three boys – how having another would just throw me into crazy land that I clearly visit routinely with being a single parent most of the time.

However, this very selfish notion slapped me in the face two years ago when we were given the news I as expecting our fourth. I was angry. I was upset that “my” plans were going to be all thrown out of whack because of the pregnancy timing, but was there ever really the perfect time to have a baby though? It took me about a week to regroup and get myself right emotionally. I accepted that I could possibly drive a minivan and would enjoy the spoils of pregnancy. I took my pregnancy clothes out of storage, washed baby blankets, started to stock up on diapers, and anxiously awaited feeling the baby grow inside of me.

I went into town to shop one fall afternoon and felt great – I was even able to shop by myself as my children were in school. After I had finished, I pulled into the driveway and started to unload the trunk with the wonderful groceries I had gotten, to include some surprises for the boys. As I walked through the dining room to the kitchen with two armfuls, I felt a sharp pain and felt myself starting to bleed heavily. I knew I had lost the baby.

I was rushed to the hospital and was given the news that we had miscarried Baby Arnett at eight weeks. We were heartbroken. I was shattered. I couldn’t bare the thought that I could have somehow caused this to happen.

Was I too upset and anxious those few days; did my attitude create some type of issue which caused our baby to die; did my selfishness will this tragedy?

If you’ve known anyone who’s had a miscarriage or have had one yourself, you are well aware of the physical, mental, and emotional anguish during this entire process. I felt comforted that the baby was still inside me. I wanted a miracle to happen. After 4 days, my body naturally “passed” the baby. I was in my shower, bleeding as

if I had given birth. I lost a piece of my soul that day. My husband took the baby from me as I continued to sob and cramp. He carried me, wrapped me in a flannel robe, and went to great lengths to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. I mourned for my baby, the loss of life that I had the honor to carry inside of me for two short months. I felt as if God had given me a gift and I was too selfish to realize it at the time, and that’s why I lost it. I felt better blaming the loss on myself because it matched how ugly I felt on the inside.

So, as I sit here and type this, my biological clock is still ticking, but when will it stop? Does a woman ever really give up that beautiful gift of life? With time, nature will encourage it to stop, but I don’t believe I’m ready for it.

If you’ve ever been in my state of mind, or know someone that is here, please reach out to them and let them know that you love them and you are thinking of them. As long as there are friendships, faith, and loved ones to help carry us when we fall, miracles will happen.

Sara Jane Arnett is an active Army spouse, mother of three rambunctious boys and military children’s author of “My Daddy’s a Soldier.” In 2011, she was selected as the “Heroes At Home” Military Spouse of the Year and also received the prestigious Military Police Corps “Order of the Vivandiere” award.

WINTER WEATHER Be prepared, stay safe during extreme weather TRICARE

As you prepare for winter weather, make sure you and your family know how to safeguard yourself from cold temperatures, snow and ice. Snow, sleet and freezing temperatures can knock out heat, power and communications services to your home or office.

Get prepared for weather-related emergencies, including power outages, and follow these steps from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention to prepare your home.

■ Check your heating systems and have them professionally serviced.

■ Inspect and clean fireplaces and chimneys.

■ Have a safe alternate heating source and alternate fuels available.

■ Install a Carbon Monoxide (CO) and smoke detector. Check its batteries regularly. If the detector

sounds leave your home immediately and call 911. Carbon monoxide is found in fumes produced any time you burn fuel in cars or trucks, small engines, stoves, lanterns, grills, fireplaces, gas ranges, or furnaces. CO can build up indoors and poison people and animals who breathe it. The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are headache, dizziness, weakness, upset stomach, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion.

■ Stock food that needs no cooking or refrigeration and water stored in clean containers.

■ Ensure that your cell phone is fully charged.

■ Keep an up-to-date emergency kit and refill any prescriptions that are due to be refilled.

■ Don’t forget to wear appropriate clothing at all times. It is best to layer light, warm clothing, gloves, scarves, hats and waterproof boots

for wetter weather. Work slowly when doing outside chores, and take a friend and an emergency kit when participating in outdoor recreation.

■ You should also prep your car for colder climates. Have your radiator serviced and check antifreeze levels. Check your tire tread, and if necessary, replace your tires with all-weather or snow tires. Keep your gas tank full to avoid ice in the tank and fuel lines, and use a wintertime formula in your windshield washer. It is also smart to prepare a winter emergency kit for your car. Pack blankets, non-perishable foods, and water and plastic bags for sanitation. Be sure to include booster cables, flares, a tire pump, flashlight, battery-powered radio, and extra batteries and a first aid kit. If an accident does occur, with these essentials, you should have enough materials to keep you safe and warm until help arrives.

Visit The Flagship’s online calendar

■ When it’s cold out, try to check on family and neighbors who are at risk from cold weather hazards: young children, older adults, and the chronically ill. If you have pets, bring them inside. If you can’t bring them inside, provide adequate, warm shelter and unfrozen water to drink. Winter storms and cold temperatures can be hazardous for all, but if you plan ahead, you can stay safe and healthy! Visit ready.gov for more tips, resources and winter safety ideas.

TRICARE can help you stay informed about your benefit in times of severe weather. When a state of emergency is issued, TRICARE may authorize early prescription refills, blanket waivers for referrals or other emergency benefits. When authorized, any emergency benefits are announced in email disaster alerts along with their effective dates.

Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy visits NAVSUP WSS

SASEBO BAY, JAPAN

The forward-deployed amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) conducted an ammunition on load Jan. 20 in preparation for its patrol of the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations.

Sailors assigned to the ship’s Weapons Department worked in conjunction with civilian contractors of the Navy Munitions Command (NMC) to receive more than 200 pallets of ammunition and ordnance.

“As we prepare for our patrol, we’re bringing on all the necessary ammunition that we’ll need for the ship and to support Marines,” Rich-

Lynnhaven Acres

ard‘s Weapons Officer Lt. Cmdr. Jeffery Hall said. “It’s all about us being prepared, being war fighters and having everything we need on board to support the mission.”

Gunner’s mates and aviation ordnancemen (AO) worked around the clock to on load, inventory, and organize loads ammunition that arrived via barge.

“The Weapons Department is responsible for maintaining all of the ammunition for the Navy and the Marines on board. We issue it, we maintain it, and we make sure that the fleet has ready-for-use ammunition when it’s time to execute the mission.”

For many members of the weapon’s team, this on load

was just a normal part of the job. However, for Aviation Ordnance Airman Michael Holzemer, this was the first time that he participated in an evolution fundamental to his rate underway.

“The AO rate is very interesting. I plan to learn all that I can about it and I’m excited to gain more experience,” Holzemer said. “It’s very exciting. For me this opportu-

nity is epic.”

Weapons Department leadership expects to maintain that same level of enthusiasm throughout the patrol.

“My hope for the future operations of our department is to excel and be ready to fight,” Hall said. “Be ready to give the warfighters the ammunition they need knowing that it’s going to perform as advertised.”

Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) hosted a visit to its Philadelphia site by Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Expeditionary Programs and Logistics Management) Thomas Dee and his Logistics Management staff on Jan. 14.

During the visit, NAVSUP WSS senior leaders discussed with Dee various topics including current initiatives, future readiness strategies, Performance Based Logistics (PBL), and continued development of the workforce.

“Dee is a strong advocate at the Pentagon for our workforce, PBL efforts and our logistics and IT systems, so it is an absolute pleasure to share with him our key initiatives and successes as well as our future plans to continue to support the fleet,” Commander of NAVSUP WSS Rear Adm. Paul J. Verrastro said.

Dee took the opportunity to visit work spaces of NAVSUP WSS’ Integrated Weapon Systems teams for a close-up look at their in-house operations and also hear firsthand about the accomplishments and initiatives of the P-8 and AV-8B teams.

The visit concluded with Dee briefing the NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center and NAVSUP WSS workforces on current strategic initiatives, Agility and Innovation, Acquisition Workforce, Acquisition Program Support, PBL initiatives, and DON Property Management.

“NAVSUP WSS is a PBL Center of Excellence and you are very well respected for the work you do here,” Dee said. “I am really encouraged by your innovation, agility, and collaborations, which molds NAVSUP WSS’ ability to make better buying decisions earlier on for essential programs.”

Employees were also given the chance to ask Dee his opinion on topics focusing on auditability, lifecycle logistics, and acquisition program support.

Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and Norfolk employees participated in the discussions via video teleconferencing.

SECNAV Mabus names Virginia-class submarine Secretary of the Navy Public Affairs SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus hosted a ship-naming ceremony Jan. 19 to announce SSN 801, a Virginiaclass attack submarine, will bear the name USS Utah. The submarine will be named to honor the history its namesake state has with the Navy.

Utah was home to the Naval Supply Depot Clearfield, which by the end of WWII was the world’s largest naval supply. It boasted approximately 16 million total square feet and employed nearly 8,000 civilian employees. It was responsible for buying and selling ship equipment and supplies and for managing the movement of personnel for three West Coast ports that attended to the Pacific Fleet. In addition, the depot distributed automotive and other material for selected activities in three naval districts stretching from North Dakota to Texas.

The future USS Utah will be the second naval vessel to bear the name; the first, a battleship designated BB-31, was commissioned in 1911 and had a long, honorable time in service. The early part of BB-31’s career was spent conducting gunnery and torpedo defense exercises.

In 1914, BB-31 became involved in the Mexican Civil War when it assisted in transporting Mexican refugees to Tampico. Following this mission, it was charged with searching for SS Ypi-

ranga, the German ship that was carrying munitions for the Mexican dictator Victoriano Huerta. After this search proved unfruitful, BB-31’s battalion spent the next two months fighting in Vera Cruz. Seven men from her battalion earned the Medal of Honor as a result of their actions during this time.

Shortly thereafter, BB-31 returned to conducting battle exercises in the Caribbean until the outbreak of WWI. During this time, BB-31 had the opportunity to act as both the flagship for Battleship Division 6, operating out of Ireland, and later, was part of the honor escort for George Washington during its time transporting President Woodrow Wilson to France.

In 1929, it was BB-31’s opportunity to have high-ranking officials on her decks when she transported Presidentelect Herbert Hoover and his official party to Rio de Janeiro.

Two years after this honorable voyage, BB-31 was converted to a mobile target. This allowed it to be controlled by radio gear. It then spent the next nine years training naval aviators in dive, torpedo and high-level bombings. While conducting anti-gunnery exercises in Pearl Harbor, BB-31 was struck by a torpedo and capsized during the initial stages of the Japanese attack. She was struck from the Navy record Nov. 13, 1944, and received a battle star for her service in WWI. Virginia-class attack submarines provide the Navy with the capabili-

ties required to maintain the nation’s undersea supremacy well into the 21st century. They have enhanced stealth, sophisticated surveillance capabilities and special warfare enhancements that will enable them to meet the Navy’s multi-mission requirements.

These submarines have the capability to attack targets ashore with highly accurate Tomahawk cruise missiles and conduct covert, long-term surveillance of land areas, littoral waters or other sea-based forces. Other missions include anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare; mine delivery and minefield mapping. They are also designed for special forces delivery and support.

Each Virginia-class submarine is 7,800-tons and 377 feet in length, has a beam of 34 feet, and can operate at more than 25 knots submerged. They are designed with a reactor plant that will not require refueling during the planned life of the ship, reducing lifecycle costs while increasing underway time. The submarine will be built under a unique teaming agreement between General Dynamics Electric Boat (GDEB) and Huntington Ingalls Industries’ Newport News Shipbuilding division, wherein both companies build certain portions of each submarine and then alternate deliveries. Utah will be delivered by GDEB located in Groton, Connecticut.

SECRETARY OF THE NAVY, SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE LAUNCH GREAT GREEN FLEET Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations, and Envrironment CORONADO, CALIF.

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack kicked off the Great Green Fleet Jan. 20, with the deployment of the John C. Stennis Carrier Strike Group (JCS CSG) during a ceremony at Naval Air Station North Island.

The Great Green Fleet is a Department of the Navy initiative highlighting how the Navy and Marine Corps are using energy efficiency and alternative energy to increase combat capability and operational flexibility. At the close of the ceremony, the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Stockdale (DDG 106) left the pier to begin its deployment, becoming the first Navy ship running on an alternative fuel blend as part of its regular operations.

“When it comes to power, my focus has been about one thing and one thing only: better warfighting,” Mabus said. “The Great Green Fleet shows how we are transforming our energy use to make us better warfighters, to go farther, stay longer, and deliver more firepower. In short, to enable us to provide the global presence that is our mission.”

The blend fueling the JCS CSG’s surface ships contains alternative fuel made from waste beef fat provided by farmers in the Midwest. It was purchased at a cost-competitive price through a partnership between the Department of the Navy and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) aimed at making alternative fuel blends a regular part of the military’s bulk operational fuel supply.

With USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) and Stockdale in the background, Mabus and Vilsack explained why this milestone alternative fuel purchase is important to the Navy and Marine Corps, and how it supports America’s farmers, ranchers and rural manufacturing jobs.

Mabus said, “Diversifying our energy sources arms us with operational flexibility and strengthens our ability to provide presence, turning the tables on those who would use energy as a weapon against us.”

“The Navy’s use of renewable energy in the Great Green Fleet represents its ability to diversify its energy sources, and also our nation’s ability to take what would be a waste product and create homegrown, clean, advanced biofuels to support a variety of transportation needs,” Vilsack said.

“Today’s deployment proves that America is on its way to a secure, clean energy future, where both defense and commercial transportation can be fueled by our own hardworking farmers and ranchers, reduce landfill waste and bring manufacturing jobs back to rural America.”

JCS CSG, the centerpiece of the Great Green Fleet, deployed using energy conservation measures (ECMs), including stern flaps, LED lights and energy efficient operational procedures, and alternative fuel in the course of its normal operations. Other ships, aircraft, amphibious and expeditionary forces and shore installations using ECMs or alternative fuels in the course of performing planned mission functions, will be part of the Great Green Fleet throughout 2016.

Stockdale is the first surface combatant to receive alternative fuel as part of its regular operational supply. Following the ceremony, Mabus and

Vilsack flew out to the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS William P. Lawrence (DDG 110) to witness it replenishing its tanks with alternative fuel from fleet replenishment oiler USNS Guadalupe (T-AO 200). The remainder of the CSG’s surface ships will receive fuel from fast combat support ship USNS Rainier (T-AOE 7), which will take on over 3 million gallons of the alternative fuel blend in Washington state before joining the CSG on deployment.

The advanced fuel blend was produced by California-based AltAir Fuels from a feedstock of beef tallow – waste beef fat – provided by Midwest farmers and ranchers, and traditional petroleum provided by Tesoro. Pursuant to Navy requirements, the alternative fuel is drop-in, meaning it requires no changes to ship engines, transport or delivery equipment, or operational procedures.

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a contract to AltAir Fuels for 77.6 million gallons of the alternative fuel blend, at a cost to DLA of $2.05 per gallon, making it cost competitive with traditional fuel.

Through the Commodity Credit Corporation, USDA is able to partner with the Navy to help diversify its fuel supply and simultaneously support America’s own farmers, ranchers and rural economies.

Sailing the Great Green Fleet in 2016 was one of the five energy goals Mabus set in 2009 for the Navy and Marine Corps. It was named to honor President Theodore Roosevelt’s Great White Fleet, which helped usher in America as a global power on the world stage at the beginning of the 20th century. The Great Green Fleet will usher in the next era of Navy and Marine Corp energy innovation.

YOKOSUKA, JAPAN

Guam Exercise (GUAMEX), an annual bilateral training exercise between the U.S. Navy and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF), began Jan. 20 off the coast of Guam.

Destroyer Squadron 15 guided-missile destroyers, USS Mustin (DDG 89) and USS McCampbell (DDG 85), will

practice tactical operations along with more than six ships from the JMSDF in a number of exercises including, an anti-air warfare exercise, anti-submarine warfare exercise, and anti-surface warfare exercise.

Maritime assets from the U.S. Navy and JMDSF will include ships, MH-60R Sea Hawk helicopters embarked on Mustin and McCampbell, Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aircraft, EA-18G Growlers, and a submarine.

“Our relationship with Japan is grounded in at-sea operations that we conduct with the JMSDF throughout the region,” McCampbell Commanding Officer Cmdr. Ed Sundberg said. “It is critical that we learn from each other, so we can continue to improve each country’s tactical expertise and response.”

Exercises like GUAMEX provide a training environment for enhancing mutual understanding of each country’s tactics, communication protocols, pro-

The rigorous five-day course - Builder 2nd teaches the skills necessary to sustain Class Octavio combat operations in the jungle enviGarcia ronment.

JWTC is a training camp run exclusively by Marine instructors to build confidence by introducing tough, team-building exercises to every service member who participates. For this particular exercise, the instructors pushed Seabees through a 3.4-mile jungle endurance course.

“I loved it,” Builder Constructionman Apprentice Anthony H. Harris said. “I jumped into it not knowing what was going to happen. My favorite part was the endurance course [because] it tests your skills physically and mentally, pushing yourself to the very limits.”

The course focused on practical application of skills such as first aid, communications, booby traps, knot tying, rappelling, land navigation, and patrolling.

“We kept each other motivated,” Builder 2nd Class Octavio Garcia said. “I liked it because we figured out how to work together. Someone had an idea [so] we tried it and it worked. Team work was the most important part of the training.”

The JWTC occupies 17,500 acres of jungle in the NTA. The hilly and rugged terrain, topped with single and double canopy forest has been challenging Marines and Sailors in the art of jungle warfare for more than 50 years.

NMCB 3 is home ported in Port Hueneme, California, and is currently deployed to Okinawa. The mission of NMCB 3 is to support Navy and joint forces throughout the U.S. Pacific Command area of operations through construction projects and humanitarian missions in more than 13 different geographical locations.

Yokosuka says farewell to sister city namesake sub

By MC2 Brian G. Reynolds Submarine Group 7 Public Affairs

YOKOSUKA, JAPAN

For more than half a century, the city ofYokosuka and the U.S. Navy have held a special relationship. And now, the Los Angeles-class fastattack submarine USS City of Corpus Christi (SSN 705) holds an even more unique relationship with the city.

Corpus Christi, Texas, the namesake of the submarine, is a sister city to Yokosuka. The two cities have held 54 years of sister city relations and have much in common. Both are port cities and thrive on the port harbor industries and both are home to U.S. military installations.

During the port visit in Yokosuka, Christi’s Commanding Officer Cmdr. Travis Petzoldt, along with a delegation from the submarine and Fleet Activities Yokosuka (CFAY), Yokosuka’s Mayor Yuto Yoshida, and the city’s representatives held a plaque exchange to commemorate the special relationship that the two cities have held.

“It is an honor to be here,” Petzoldt told Yoshida. “The hospitality of you and your people here, as well as the alliance and friendship we have is great.”

Christi arrived at Fleet Activities Yokosuka (CFAY) Jan. 11 for a port visit. The boat’s Sailors enjoyed the rich culture of Japan and all that Yokosuka has to offer.

“I’m glad your crew is able to enjoy a good time here in Yokosuka,” Yoshida said. “It’s all because of our relationship. We have a great relationship with CFAY.” Petzoldt also presented Yoshida with a command ball cap.

“The next time that I visit Corpus Christi, I will wear it,” Yoshida said.

The timing of the exchange couldn’t have been more fitting. The memorable visit to Yokosuka will be Christi’s final foreign port visit before she returns to her home port of Pearl Harbor and is later to be decommissioned.

Commissioned in 1983, Christi has a long standing tradition of excellence and achievement. Its crew is highly trained and capable of supporting the boat through any mission cycle within short notice.

U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY’S STEM DIRECTOR RECEIVES MLK AWARD

By MC2 Tyler Caswell Naval Academy Public Affairs

GLEN BURNIE, MD.

The U.S. Naval Academy’s (USNA) science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) Center for Education and Outreach Director Angela Leimkuhler Moran received the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drum Major Award on Jan. 15 at the 28th annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Awards dinner.

The event highlighted accomplishments of 11 honorees, recognizing local leaders who keep King’s dream alive through their words, deeds and extraordinary acts of service and commitment.

“Dr. Moran leads our STEM program, which helps reach underserved youth throughout our nation,” USNA Superintendent Vice Adm. Ted Carter said. “It’s an outreach program that inspires youth, women and diverse groups across the nation whom we want to bring, enjoy and develop here at USNA.” Moran joined the faculty of the acad-

emy’s Mechanical Engineering Department in the fall of 1993 as an expert in materials manufacturing and engineering.

Her leadership role allows her to bring STEM education to underserved students in Anne Arundel County and surrounding counties.

“What I do has been amplified many times over by the faculty, staff, administration, and especially by the midshipmen,” Moran said. “These people have contributed over 20,000 hours to help reach underserved populations and promote STEM activities.”

Coordinating with many of USNA’s departments, Moran oversees training of faculty members and midshipmen, and coordinates hosting numerous events each year at USNA. “Through the help of many departments at USNA, we’re able to reach more than 18,000 students and more than 1,000 educators through our STEM program,” Moran said. “We are able to engage our lessons with exciting hands-on projectbased learning activities.”

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

The outreach program encourages students to use hands-on projects to engage in non-conventional learning experiences.

“Martin Luther King, Jr. said, ‘The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically.

Intelligence plus character, that’s the goal of a true education,’” Moran said.

“Our STEM midshipmen and our STEM faculty know the value of this education extends beyond the formal classroom.

This includes shaping the attributes of the 21st century learner. We strive to do that through our outreach efforts.”

USNA STEM events are sponsored by the Security of Defense, Office of Naval Research, the Naval Academy Foundation, the Northrop Grumman Foundation, and the Bauer Foundation.

Founded in 1988, the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Committee was designed to honor King’s legacy in Anne Arundel County.

By Yiorgo Contributing Writer

NORFOLK

Get ready Norfolk; it’s time to go to the ball at Chrysler Hall!

Roger and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, the 2013 Tony® Award-winning Broadway musical with all it’s pageantry and splendor will be here for a limited engagement from Feb. 2-7.

The Associated Press calls it, “Pure Magic! A charming, witty and relevant take on the classic story with top-notch singing, sumptuous songs and a first-rate cast!”

The New Yorker declares it, “Eye-poppingly opulent enough to wow any six-yearold at heart!”

And The Record says, “A delightful Broadway extravaganza chock-full of visual spectacle, elaborate dance numbers, eye-catching scenery, dazzling costumes and a marvelous Rodgers and Hammerstein score.”

We spoke recently with Blair Ross who has the delightful task of playing the evil stepmother.

Yiorgo (Y): Where were you born, and where did you grow up?

Blair Ross (B.R.): I am very proud of the fact that I was born in the United States Military Academy at West Point. My father was a professor there when I was born and a West Point class of 1950. My older brother also went to West Point, in the Eighty Second Airborne and retired as a colonel. So to all of our military personnel, thank you for your service. You are much loved by us Broadway actors. My dad retired and we moved to northern New Jersey where I grew up.

Y: What drove you to go into musical theater?

Blair Ross

B.R.: I studied piano growing up. My brother, who was at West Point at the time, invited me to hear the great opera singer Leontyne Price who was performing there.

Her brother was a general there and she performed all the time. Hearing her sing changed my life forever because I went home, woke my parents up and asked them to sign me up for singing lessons. I had found my calling. They were very supportive, and signed me up. I still take singing lessons to this day because that is something you have to keep up with. As you age your voice changes so you have to keep that in shape.

I got to see a lot of Broadway theater at an early age because I would take a bus and go into New York City with my friends and wait in Time Square at the tickets line for half price Broadway tickets. And in the 70’s, Time Square was not the nice place it is today. But we were a group of junior high and high school students just as happy to be there and catch a show like “Pippin” or “Chorus Line” and so on. It was a fantastic time for me.

I did musicals and regular plays in junior high and high school. I majored in art ahstory at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, and I moved to Nashville,

Tennessee where I had family. It was there that I got my start as a singing waitress at a dinner theater. And let me tell you it was hard work.

Y: When did you know that you can make a living with this?

B.R.: Well Yiorgo, I am going to tell you something. I have had a wonderful life in theater, but it is almost impossible to make a living in it. I still have a fantastic survival job at a law firm where I have worked there for 17 years. I am never giving that up. It affords me the opportunity to be selective with what shows are offered to me since I have a steady income from this job. The law firm has been very gracious and flexible with my work schedule so I can continue to act and tour.

Y: You have acted in “Side Show,” “Jekyll and Hyde,” “Gypsy,” “42nd Street” – both on Broadway and the National Tour, just to mention a few. Can you tell us what the audition process was like for “Cinderella?”

B.R.: I auditioned on tape. I was at the Kennedy Center, Washington, D.C., doing “Side Show” and I asked a cast member to tape me and I sent it off. Then they wanted a callback, but we were in our tech rehearsal, and that is an all-day affair. I played eight different characters in the show so I told them thank you very much but I could not come to New York at this time. The director, Mark Brokaw, and producer, Robyn Goodman, shocked me by asking if we could Skype the callback. I actually set up my computer in my sister’s basement in McLain, Virginia, where I was staying during the run of the play, and my sister read the lines of “Cinderella” off camera.

When my commitment with “Side Show” was over, they happened to have an open-

ing for a new stepmother, they remembered me and called me. They were so kind and gracious. I was delighted and overjoyed to work with Mark Brokaw, who is so imaginative and so, so, so smart. It really has been a thrill. And the entire cast is amazing. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. I have been with them for three months and I am having a great time.

Y: Any wow, pinch me moments you would like to share?

B.R.: I have a few of those memories.

There are many actors that I admire, that I get to share the stage with. The most recent actor I worked with that I thought, “Boy I have a great job, I am so lucky,” was John Slattery, who played Roger Sterling on AMC’s “Mad Men.” He is fantastic, such a wonderful actor. Another one that comes to mind is Constantine Maroulis who I worked with on Broadway in “Jekyll and Hyde.” I remember thinking, “Oh my God what a great voice and I get to act with him.”

He was absolutely wonderful. Boy did he love his family. I know his mom, sister and brother. You Greeks are very loyal. He was an absolute delight from beginning to end and I am still in touch with him. You know these pinch me moments happen way more then what people think.

Y: You are very fortunate to be able to play a roll of a lifetime, that of Cinderella’s evil stepmother. How do you tackle a part like that?

CINDERELLA | Continued from C1 B.R.: I have played a lot of evil roles, so I make sure to get familiar with my character by coming up with a back story and what brought them to be so angry. What I always look for is why is that character so unhappy that they are taking it out on other people? What is their frustration, their challenge here? In my own mind that character is not mean, there has to be a justification for it. But at the end of the day, it is my job to make it really hard on Cinderella. That is the whole reason I am there, that is my job and that is what I am paid to do.

It was fun when Mark Brokaw and I had our first work session. I said this may sound kind of weird but this is what I am thinking, “I just finished reading the biography of Catherine the Great and her mother was extremely ambitious for her daughter to marry one of the crown heads of Europe.

She was anxious for her daughter to attain power, prestige and a crown and

Coming to Chrysler Hall

I want to base my character on Catherine the Great’s mother who always felt like she was on the fringes of nobility and deserved the higher stages in life.” Mark surprised me by saying that he had just finished reading it too.

That was just wonderful; that we both had just finished reading it at the same time. What a lucky, lucky coincidence.

So I always try to find something like that to see what motivates a person to be cruel to others. When you look back there is a reason and mostly it is fear and insecurity and I try to find that vulnerable point that drives them to lash out at other people.

Y: What will people get out of seeing Roger and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella?”

B.R.: Our show is good escape entertainment. No matter what their problems are they can leave it at the door because when they come in through that door what they will see is something absolutely beautiful. It is a story that they have known all their lives, told with a very fresh contempo-

rary feel, more of a social conscience way. Cinderella is still incredibly kind, but she is also feisty, with more of a social conscience, voicing her concerns about the unfortunate people in the kingdom. The play is gorgeous to look at, and those amazing Rogers and Hammerstein songs will enchant everyone in the family from the fouryear-old daughter to the eighty-fouryear-old grandmother.

Begin your Valentine’s Day planning now!

How to pick the right watch for your valentine Statepoint

The stakes are high on Valentine’s Day. When you are shopping for just one special someone, there’s very little room for error.

While flowers or chocolate are a great way to say “I love you,” you may want to indulge your love with something longer lasting. For the perfect gift, consider a timeless classic – a watch to suit his or her personal style. But remember, one watch will not fit all personalities or lifestyles.

“The right watch can nurture the spirit of individuality and communicate one’s sense of style,” watch-brand Armitron‘s Product Development Vice President Matthew Shell said.

With that in mind, Shell offers these suggestions for finding the right watch for your loved one: ■ The trendsetter: For those who love looking their best, coordination of accessories is key. So whether you opt for a genuine leather strap or a bracelet watch, look for a versatile timepiece that can transition from day to night or be dressed down or dressed up depending on the occasion. Before making a selection, consider your recipient’s favorites – taking preferences like gold versus silver and vintage versus modern into account.

■ The athlete: Enhance your loved one’s training efforts with a bold, sporty watch built to move. For example, Armitron Pro-Sport Digital watches feature lap timing, stop watches and chronographs to help runners, swimmers and other athletes push past their goals. Water resistant to 330 feet, this category of watches offers multicolored dials, soft touch resin straps, chrome bezels and silver tone buckle closures.

■ The sentimentalist: If your gift recipient already has a favorite watch for everyday wear, consider something elegant that can – but doesn’t have to be – reserved for special occasions. For instance, a bangle watch functions as jewelry and timepiece, putting form and function on the same level.

Or for him, a watch featuring a diamond dial.

■ The confident one: For the confident man, consider an automatic watch that does not require batteries to operate such as a stainless steel automatic watch with a skeleton movement and luminous dials.

Have you been wondering if you could be receiving more from your personal devotion time? Do you have a deep desire to know how to study the Bible?

Spartyka Fight League hosts amateur mixed martial arts event

Joe Gibbs celebrates 25 years in NASCAR racing

By MC2 Kevin F. Johnson AIRLANT Public Affairs

Universal Uclick

Courtesy of NASCAR Jimmy Makar, left, Joe Gibbs and Bobby Labonte pose with the 2000 Cup championship trophy.

Joe Gibbs, the highly successful NFL coach who decided to go into NASCAR racing, is celebrating his 25th season as a NASCAR team owner. He’s the reigning championship car owner in the Sprint Cup Series, thanks to Kyle Busch, one of his four Cup drivers. Over the years, Gibbs has amassed 128 Sprint Cup wins and four championships, and 112 victories and one driver championship in the Xfinity Series.

Gibbs had steadfastly maintained that wins, in the NFL and in NASCAR, are not the result of the right combination of X’s and O’s or the proper selection of race car parts. Instead, he believes races and football games are won by employing the right people and getting the most performance from them.

Few people have had as much influence on Gibbs’ racing success as Jimmy Makar, who now goes by the title of senior vice president of racing operations at JGR, a position he’s held since 2005.

In this position, he rarely even touches a race car, focusing instead on big-picture issues and making sure the team has the right people in place to continue building faster race cars.

In the beginning, Makar wore many hats. Using the job titles and duties of today’s racing employees, he was crew chief, competition director and shop foreman, along with handing administrative duties, such as payroll.

But that wasn’t uncommon back in 1991, when Makar went to work for Gibbs midway through the season and began preparing cars for the team’s debut.

It all started for Makar and Gibbs with a meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina.

They talked some about racing, but also about life in general, and some football.

“It was a really interesting conversation,” Makar said. “We got through and I told my wife, ‘I can work for that guy.’

You could tell from talking to him he was a great people person and had a great focus on life and what was important.

That was unique in the sport at that time.”

Working out of a 15,000-square-foot rented shop in Charlotte with 15 employees, Makar began building a race team, starting with parts and pieces purchased from Rick Hendrick.

A native of Cedar Knolls, New Jersey, Makar first came to NASCAR in 1977 with his father, Jim, brother, Bobby, and a secondhand race car they’d purchased from Roger Penske.

With Jody Ridley at the wheel, they finished 14th at Atlanta Motor Speedway, impressing those in attendance that day, including many veterans in the garage.

Then, after another driver, Kenny Brightbill, crashed the car at Dover, Jimmy was sent to Charlotte to help repair the car. He worked at the chassis shop with Banjo Matthews, and then helped Robert Gee hang the body. Gee, impressed with Makar’s work, offered him a job, and Makar moved to Charlotte.

By 1991, he was working with Penske and was crew chief for Rusty Wallace when he struck his deal with Gibbs.

At that time, Gibbs was still a full-time coach, and not the most knowledgeable of team owners. Makar recalls Gibbs’ first trip to the Daytona 500 and how the rookie owner didn’t realize until midway through Speedweeks that there was a chance his car might not make the starting field for the 500.

Even though the team won the Daytona 500 on their second try, with Makar’s brother-in-law Dale Jarrett at the wheel, there were times when the future of Gibbs’ team was shaky.

“At one point we got in financial difficulty,” Gibbs said. “I kind of put everything underneath Jimmy. I kid him now, telling him, ‘This is a fine mess

By Rick Minter

you got us into.’ He kept us going. He could have just let us go. When I reflect on that, I realize what a miracle it is that we’ve been here this long.”

Makar said he, too, had his doubts in the beginning. “There were plenty of times when you wondered,” Makar said.

“We had some successes – won the Daytona 500 in our second year. And we had some tough days too, trying to build the organization. When Dale [Jarrett] left and went over to Robert Yates’ team, I wondered, ‘Are we really going to make it here?’”

But Makar and Gibbs hired Bobby Labonte to drive the No. 18, and everyone was relieved when the team began winning races on a regular basis.

“Right about that period, I felt like we were here to stay,” Makar said.

A key factor in the team’s survival was adding a second team.

“We saw what Rick Hendrick was doing and what Jack Roush was doing,” Makar said. “We realized we had to go all in and grow or we wouldn’t survive as a single-car team.”

Now Gibbs has four Cup teams, all of which made the Chase for the Sprint Cup in 2015.

And Jimmy Makar is still there, helping steer an organization that now has approximately 550 employees.

One of his main jobs is hiring the best engineers and innovators.

“My thought process is I’ve got to hire people smarter than me and let them run with it,” Makar said.

Makar still travels to about 25 races a year, and like many a former crew chief, he still catches himself thinking about how he’d handle things if he was still running a team.

“I find myself second-guessing or preguessing crew chiefs’ decisions on race strategy and [chassis] setups,” Makar said. “But it’s kind of passed me by.”

Fans of mixed martial arts (MMA) can come out to support local fighters and Spartyka Nation on Jan. 29 at the Ted Constant Convocation Center in Norfolk, for Spartyka Fight League XXII. The fight will feature up to 20 bouts, including the 155-pound title between Damon Minor and Andres Encinales, both active-duty service members.

The event, part of Spartyka Nation’s Friday Night Fights, supports local MMA fighters while raising awareness and support for those who have served in the armed forces, both past and present.

“We’re going to do a tribute for the 12 Marines that were killed in the helicopter crash off the coast and we’re also hosting 80 wounded warriors at the event,” Founder and Owner of Spartyka Nation Chief Petty Officer Jimi Partyka said.

“There’s a lot that’s going on, and it’s going to be a fun time.”

Tickets for the event can be purchased at www. ynottix.com. Doors open at 6 p.m. with a 7 p.m. start time.

Spartyka Nation also hosts warrior challenge runs, softball and basketball tournaments, and the Spartyka Wounded Warrior 5K, which now hosts events across the country, all with the common goal of raising awareness and support for those who have served.

Partyka is active-duty Navy, has gone on five deployments, worked with the Navy’s Mobile Training Team and with the Maritime Civil Affairs and Secutiry Training Command providing military to military training in countries all over the world.
