ATLANTIC OCEAN

The nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) (Ike) rescued distressed mariners at sea, Feb. 7.

Eisenhower received a distress call via bridge-to-bridge communications from the U.S.-flagged sailing vessel Selket at approximately 7 p.m. The vessel was located 40 miles from Miami, Florida, with reports of a broken mast and smoke in the engine room.

Due to the state of the sailing vessel and rough seas, Eisenhower launched a helicopter, assigned to the embarked Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 9 to rescue the crew of five.

The mariners were medically evaluated on board Eisenhower before being transferred to U.S. officials at Coast Guard Station Opa Locka, Florida.

Assisting mariners in distress is the responsibility of all vessels at sea, even warships. “Responding to mariners in distress is an inherent obligation of the U.S. Navy.

A duty we take very seriously,” Eisenhower’s Commanding Officer Capt. Paul Spedero, Jr. said. “I am glad that we were in the right place at the right time to rescue these mariners. I couldn’t be more proud of the professionalism and performance displayed by the Ike-Trident team.”

AIRLANT Sailor wins 2015 Aerospace Medicine Technician of the Year

By MC2 Kevin F. Johnson AIRLANT Public Affairs

NORFOLK

Hospital Corpsman (HM) 1st Class Dishern Tucker, assigned to Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 74, recently received the Cornelius “Fritz�

Koppy – John “Rick� Garmeson Award as the 2015 Aerospace Medicine Technician (AVT) of the Year for the Navy and Marine Corps.

The award is given for outstanding performance in operational aviation medicine, leadership, dedication, initiative, resourcefulness and industry while serving within operational forces. “HM1 Tucker was recognized as the best among his peers from over 50 squadrons to be the Commander, Naval Air Force Atlantic (CNAL) AVT of

the year. He then went on to compete against the winners from all reserve squadrons, all Marine Corps squadrons and all 70 plus squadrons under Commander, Naval Air Force PaciďŹ c,â€?

CNAL Force Corpsman Master Chief Hospital Corpsman Joseph Burds said. “He is being recognized for being the best in the Navy.�

In addition to being assigned to HSM 74, based out of Jacksonville, Florida, Tucker also is the leading petty ofďŹ cer of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 3, of which the squadron is attached. He manages the scheduling and completion of all physical exams to a crew of more than 5,000 Sailors and Marines. He has spearheaded the planning and execution of health service support for four major exercises and has solely managed aviation medical readiness and ight deck physicals for more than 1,200 personnel.

Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Dishern Tucker “I was at a loss for words when it happened. I didn’t see it coming, it was a total surprise,� Tucker said. “It feels good to be recognized for all the hard work.�

Aside from his primary responsibilities, Tucker also manages the hearing conservation program, which increased the command’s readiness from 86-99 percent. He is currently executing work-ups preparing for an extended deployment to the U.S. 5th and 6th eet areas of operation in support of Operation Inherent Resolve.

Tucker believes he and the other candidates worked hard to get where they are and the recognition of those efforts is welcome.

With the strength of all the candidates in the running, Tucker was surprised himself to receive the news. “I never thought I’d win,� Tucker said. “It’s a great honor.�

Ike’s AIMD program achieves perfect AMI score

By MC3 J. Alexander Delgado USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Public Affairs

NORFOLK

The Aviation Intermediate Maintenance Department (AIMD) on board the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) was recognized as one of the top AIMD programs in the Navy following a perfect score on their Aviation Maintenance Inspection (AMI), Jan. 14.

AMI is conducted roughly six months prior to a ship’s deployment and inspects more than 40 various AIMD programs to verify that maintenance is being conducted properly.

Representatives from Commander, Naval Air Forces Aviation Maintenance Management Team conducted the shipboard AMI and assessed the de-

partment using a three-tier grading system. Each graded program was given a score of “on track,� “needs more attention� or “off track.� “Aviation maintenance is fundamentally dangerous,�

Senior Chief Aviation Electronics Technician Herbert Turner said. “AMI validates that we are doing maintenance by the book.�

Eisenhower’s Maintenance OfďŹ cer Cmdr. Vencent Logan believes it is rare for an AIMD department to receive a perfect score on their AMI. “Normally, a department will receive at least one ‘needs more attention,’â€?

Logan said. “But the average ‘off track’ is about three programs.�

Turner, who developed the plan to prepare for AMI and oversaw its execution, attributes the department’s suc-

cess to three key elements: availability, transparency and follow through. “Our quality assurance representatives (QARs) had to be constantly present within the department,â€? Turner said. “The department knew they could ask questions of my QARs, and my QARs were helping correct the deďŹ ciencies that they found.â€?

Through transparency, Turner ensured the chain of command was aware of the deďŹ ciencies discovered by the QARs so they could correct them as a team. “We set deadlines,â€? Turner said. “These had to get corrected by a certain date, and they were. We followed through and made sure everything was ďŹ xed like it was supposed to be.â€?

In the fall of 2015, Eisenhower went to sea for the ďŹ rst

time following an extensive two-year shipyard period.

For many of the junior Sailors working in AIMD, a steep learning curve was necessary to guarantee a successful AMI. “Our Sailors wanted to know how to do the job correctly,� Turner said. “All we had to do was provide the tools and training for them.�

Within four months, Eisenhower’s AIMD was not only engaged in AMI preparations, they were in full swing supporting a full air wing as well. “They were standing up programs that had not been touched in two years,� Logan said. “To get them to inspection-ready status within a few months says a lot about their dedication and that they believe in achieving high standards.�

MARMC Fab Lab host Fort Lee Marines

By Chris Wyatt MARMC Public Affairs Specialist

NORFOLK

Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center’s (MARMC) Fab Lab hosted Marines from Fort Lee’s machinist school on Jan.28.

The visiting Marines, set to graduate next month, requested to visit MARMC’s Fab Lab before graduation.

“This was a pretty cool opportunity for us,” Fab Lab Project Officer Lt. Todd Coursey said. “We, as Navy Sailors deploy with the Ma-

rines. The Marines are starting to latch onto additive manufacturing and this training is going to help them define their product.”

MARMC Sailors trained the Marines on 3-D rendering programs and showed them how to use Fab Lab’s laser cutters, wood cutters and 3-D printers.

"We gave them an opportunity to use our computers and equipment, and they quickly picked up the 3-D program and started to create tools and solutions for their daily work life,” Coursey

said. “That is really what the Fab Lab is all about: using your imagination to create real work solutions.”

The Marines left excited for what the future holds for them and the Marine Corps.

“We had an interest in additive manufacturing and with our proximity only being two hours away we came down to work with MARMC,” Marine CorpsGunnery Sgt. Carlos Lemus said. “The goal is for us to collaborate with MARMC and show our students some of the tools that they may be

using in the near future.

As machinists, we can fabricate anything but this additive manufacturing adds a new dimension.”

The Marine Corps expects to receive two fab labs in the near future.

“What I see coming out of the Fab Lab is a marine opportunity to broaden his or her scope on their new skills as a machinist and that their true capabilities go beyond metal working,” Marine Ordnance School Director Maj. Michael Gasperini said. “Also, it will give them skills to be thinking outside the box.

As the marine ordnance school director, I see the equipment enhancing our curriculum for entry level students and it will enhance our future machinist course.”

military health care providers in preparing for and executing appropriate medical care to civilian populations in austere humanitarian emergency and disaster relief settings.

Course content focused on understanding this unique health environment and recognizing and managing those conditions consistently associated with high mortality among the most vulnerable populations in those settings.

Personnel at NEPMU-2 train to respond to these types of events and addressed PM functions in a humanitarian setting, such as disease surveillance and principles of sanitation, hygiene and disease vector control.

NEPMU-2 Preventive Medicine officers Lt. Cmdr. Lucas Johnson and Lt. Cmdr. Patrick McKenna instructed the PM section of the course, leveraging their extensive training and experiences to provide insight on basic PM concepts and techniques critical for any medical personnel tasked with response to a humanitarian emergency. They discussed the three basic PM priorities: rapid assessment of needs, addressing the scarcities in the basic population, and establishing a surveillance system to measure and prevent further problems.

“Navy Medicine is fortunate to have physicians with a wealth of experience working in a variety of government and non-government jobs in the area of global health engagement,” McKenna said. “It’s a real privilege to be able to interact with them in this course and to discuss the public health, population-based perspective in responding to humanitarian emergencies.”

In addition to lectures, course scenarios were designed to focused on the role military medical assets would likely play as responders to a humanitarian emergency.

By focusing on the population as a whole, clinicians can significantly contribute to the Department of Defense goal of protecting health and preventing unnecessary loss of life when tasked with responding to disasters and humanitarian emergencies.

MSC delivers essentials, rolls-out

EXERCISE COBRA GOLD

By Grady Fontana Military Sealift Command Far East

LAEM CHABANG,THAILAND

Military Sealift Command’s (MSC) Surge Sealift, Roll-on/ Roll-off ship USNS Maj. Stephen W. Pless (T-AK 3007) arrived at the Laem Chabang port to off-load essential military equipment in support of Exercise Cobra Gold 2016 (CG-16), Jan. 27.

Thailand and the U.S. are scheduled to co-host the annual, multilateral Exercise CG-16 in various areas throughout the Kingdom of Thailand, Feb. 9-19. This year’s CG-16 will consist of three primary events: a command post exercise, which includes a senior leader seminar; humanitarian civic assistance projects in Thai communities; and a ďŹ eld training exercise that will build regional relationships.

Pless carried more than 470 items that totaled approximately 2,500 long tons, 5.38 million pounds. The cargo included such items as military vehicles, aircraft and ammunition. A second MSC vessel, the USNS 1st Lt. Jack Lummus (T-AK 3011), is scheduled to arrive in the coming days to off-load additional CG-16 gear.

Phase one of the off-load was conducted at Laem Chabang, then Pless sailed to the port of Sattahip in Chuk Samet, Thailand, to off-load the remainder of gear, Jan. 28.

From the ports, all equipment was staged and will be transported to various locations in Thailand.

During the exercise, MSC falls under the Joint Movement Coordination Center (JMCC) and works with various agencies, such as the Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC). “The JMCC is the coordination center for all inbound and outbound cargo,â€? JMCC OfďŹ cer-In-Charge for CG-16 Army Maj. Juan A. Vega said. “This includes sealift, port handling and transportation.

Our job is to receive the equipment at the port, and coordinate transportation to its ďŹ nal destination.â€?

The JMCC is a team effort.

SDDC is responsible for loading and off-loading the ship and all the reception, staging and onward movement and integration of all the gear that is coming off the ship. MSC is responsible for providing the ships that are capable of meeting the sealift requirement.

In addition to providing vessels that deliverer the equipment for CG-16, MSC Far East (MSCFE) is also exercising expeditionary port operations.

At the port of Sattahip, MSCFE stood up a mobile sealift operations center (MSOC), a y-away communications suite that is staffed by Expeditionary Port Unit 111 (EPU 111), out of Oklahoma City, Okla. The MSOC consists of two shipping containers: one is a storage facility and one is outďŹ tted with a full complement of communications equipment. “The EPU is here to train on port operations for contingency support,â€? MSCFE Exercise Planner Cmdr. Christopher M. Cassano said. “The EPU would rarely be used during peacetime, but in a contingency operation, when we’re at a dozen different ports, we have the EPU to exercise control at the port for MSC. Because during phase two operations there would be no port agent – we’d be responsible for all things in support of the ships.â€?

Concurrently, Pless is on a mission supporting the U.S. Army PaciďŹ c (USARPAC) PaciďŹ c Pathway (PP) 16-1, a transportation operation supporting three exercises. “Cobra Gold is the ďŹ rst leg of PaciďŹ c Pathway 16-1,â€?

USARPAC TrafďŹ c Manager Joseph Peck said. “We take a

■details Exercise Cobra Gold, one of the largest multilateral exercises in the Asia-Pacific region, has taken place annually for more than 30 years. single vessel and a single task force and take it to numerous exercises. It saves money, cuts legs off transportation and allows us to bring a bigger force with more capability to the exercises.�

Pless started the PP 16-1 mission at Joint Base Lewis– McChord (JBLM) in Tacoma, Washington. “She then loaded the aviation task force in Hawaii, then went to Okinawa, Japan and

picked up joint-forces gear that supports the exercise,� Peck said.

Upon conclusion of CG-16, Pless will back-load the ship at the end of February, and then head over to South Korea to off-load the Army force for Exercise Foal Eagle. She will then swing back to Okinawa, Japan, to off-load Marine Corps equipment, and up-load the new Marine gear for Exercise Balikatan. The ship will come back to South Korea to pick up the Army force, and then move to the Philippines to off-load for Balikatan. Finally, she will reverse sequence back to JBLM to drop off the remainder of the joint task force. “PP 16-1 consolidates a force on a vessel and keeps it out so it does multiple iterations of loading and off-loading a vessel,â€? Peck said. “This is a ďŹ ve-and-a-half-month mini deployment to three different countries, which we would have loaded the ship at least ďŹ ve times.â€?

Grady Fontana A humvee is off-loaded from the Military Sealift Command’s Surge Sealift, Roll-on/Roll-off ship USNS Maj. Stephen W. Pless (T-AK 3007), Jan. 28. The Pless, carrying more than 470 items, is one of two MSC ships delivering equipment for Exercise Cobra Gold.

Lincoln Sailors battle Langley airmen on ice

By MC3 Ciarra C. Thibodeaux USS Abraham Lincoln Public Affairs

NORFOLK

The nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln’s (CVN 72) hockey team took on airmen from Langley Air Force Base in the inaugural “Air vs. Sea” hockey game at Scope Arena in Norfolk, Jan. 30.

In the months leading up to this event, the two hockey teams played various games against other opponents in the Hampton Roads area. This is the first inaugural “Air vs. Sea” hockey game, an event that encourages a friendly rivalry between the two military branches.

“Playing the Air Force on Saturday was incredible and a once-in-a-

lifetime opportunity,” Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Fuel) 3rd Class Stephen Dobbs said.

“Our team became closer than ever and took a lot from the game. We are very excited for our future games and to take what we have learned and use it against future opponents.”

Hundreds of their shipmates, family members and friends came out to support with Lincoln pride.

The players all expressed what an honor it was to play in the arena with the support of the command and their shipmates behind them.

“It’s a privilege to represent the command while doing something that I love to do,” Electrician’s Mate 2nd Class Michael Greenberg said. “Shift work gets really repetitive, so it’s great to break up the weeks out there on the ice while only focusing on one thing,

which is to win.”

Lincoln did not bring home a win this year. The final score of the game was 8-4, but the team is already preparing for their next big game in the spring.

“We plan to work on moving the puck more,” Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Fuel) 1st Class Anthony Serio said.

“Next time we will come out fighting and not wait until the last period to really get into the game.”

President to award the Medal of Honor Naval Special Warfare Command Public Affairs WASHINGTON

Harry Gerwien | Military Newspapers of Virginia The Los Angeles fast-attack submarine USS Montpelier (SSN 765) returned to Naval Station Norfolk, Feb. 5, after completing a successful deployment to the European Command and Central Command areas of responsibility.

HOMECOMING Continued from front According to Mongold, Montpelier’s crew celebrated the New Year reflecting on their accomplishments in 2015 and preparing for their journey home.

First-time Ombudsman Cassie Tatum, wife of Chief Fire Controlman Thomas Tatum, summed up the overall excitement of the Family Readiness Group (FRG).

“Everyone’s incredibly excited to have their Sailors back home,” Cassie said. “While in the shipyard for repairs, we had a lot of crew changeover, so this was a first deployment for many of our families. We all made it through and did amazingly well.”

FORD

| Sub deployed six months

Monthly FRG meetings that turned into potlucks, social media groups created to share advice and provide a forum for questions and answers, and monthly newsletters were some of the vehicles used to keep the families engaged and create a bond among the families on the homefront.

“I think most people will be able to look back on this time and say they made at least one friend that made a difference,” Cassie said.

The wintry weather may have delayed the boats arrival, but for Cassie and the rest of the families that surrounded Pier 3, “it’s right on-time.”

Fast-attack submarines like Montpelier have multi-faceted missions.

They use their stealth, persistence, agility and firepower to deploy and support special force operations, disrupt and destroy an adversary’s military and economic operations at sea, provide early strike from close proximity, and ensure undersea superiority.

Montpelier is the third ship in the Navy to be named for the city of Montpelier, Vermont. Built by the Newport News Shipbuilding Company and Drydock Company, the “Mighty Monty” was commissioned March 13, 1993. The submarine has a crew complement of 15 officers and 129 enlisted. The submarine is 360-feet long, and can travel in excess of 25 knots.

Continued from front As the first shipwide drill on board the new aircraft carrier, Ford focused on damage control and emergency responses -- a significant step in certifying the crew as they train to fight and take ownership of the ship.

“GQ is a meeting of the minds,” Damage Controlman 1st Class Letitia McKelvey said. “It allows departments who don’t normally work together a chance to become a team.

They build teamwork and learn how to rely on each other for help.”

This teamwork is important when a ship is underway. At sea, Sailors are responsible for all shipboard efforts.

There is no other support coming to aid in damage control efforts. The crew itself serves as fire department, hospital and any other emergency response personnel who would usually be called upon.

“This first GQ is a great opportunity for us to assess ourselves,” Ford’s Assistant Fire Marshal Chief Damage Controlman Michael Lewis said. “Now we know where we are.

This is all baby steps; we have to crawl before we can run.”

During the GQ drill, Ford Sailors conducted training with damage control and medical training props, while others responded to simulations of shipboard emergencies.

“This GQ was a major milestone for Ford because it pushes the ship significantly forward in preparation for Crew Certification 2 and being able to get the ship underway and out of the shipyards,” Damage Controlman 1st Ryan Vanderstouw said. “With Crew Certification 2 and Crew Certification 3 coming up in the future, we have to get everyone qualified and get everyone trained up and demonstrate to inspectors that we have what it takes to take the ship to sea and be successful during any hurdles we may encounter out there at sea.”

Ford is currently under construction at Huntington Ingalls Newport News Shipbuilding.

On February 29, 2016, President Barack Obama will present the Medal of Honor to Senior Chief Special Warfare Operator Edward Byers.

Byers will receive the Medal of Honor for his courageous actions while serving as part of a team that rescued an American civilian being held hostage in Afghanistan on Dec. 8-9, 2012.

He will be the 11th living service member to be awarded the Medal of Honor for actions in Afghanistan. He and his family will join the president at the White House to commemorate his example of selfless service.

“The strength of the Naval Special Warfare community is in its exceptional people.

Senior Chief Ed Byers’actions on the battlefield reflect the highest ideals of our profession: bravery, selfless dedication to duty, and above all, the highest level of commitment to protect the lives of others and the freedom for which our nation stands,” Commander of Naval Special Warfare Rear Adm. Brian Losey said. “We are humbled by Senior Chief Byers’ incredible example of service, and are proud to call him Teammate.”

Byers was born in Toledo, Ohio, Aug. 4, 1979. He graduated from Otesgo High School in Tontogany, Ohio, in June 1997.

Byers currently holds a National Paramedics License, and will graduate from Norwich University, Northfield, Vermont, with a Bachelor of Science in Strategic Studies and Defense Analysis in early 2016.

Byers entered the Navy in September 1998, attending boot camp and hospital corpsman school at Great Lakes, Illinois. He served at Great Lakes Naval Hospital, and then with 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. In

Fleet, Family Support Center Norfolk kicksoff Military Saves Week

By MC3 Jeanyra A. Mateo Naval Station Norfolk Public Affairs

NORFOLK

Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) Norfolk held a Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) event to kick off the annual Military Saves Week at Naval Station Norfolk, Feb. 4.

The event informed active-duty, retired military and their family members and DOD employees of TSP’s benefits, participation rules and investment options.

Stewart Kaplan, a member of the TSP Boards and liaison specialist, spoke about the benefits of investing in a retirement supplement plan during your career.

“TSP is a retirement savings and investment plan, sponsored by the federal government, designed to supplement not replace a military retirement check,” Kaplan said. “It provides an extra income in addition to military retirement and Social Security to help establish financial stability and independence at retirement.”

Kaplan continued to explain the benefits of investing in future retirement throughout a career and explained the available options TSP provides.

Throughout the event, guests had an interactive opportunity to have their questions answered by Kaplan. Kaplan and FFSC pro-

vided slide shows with statistics, pamphlets that highlighted key points and booklet that summarizes TSP. Work and Family Life Supervisor at FFSC Norfolk for the Personal Financial Management Team Karen L. Melvin believes events like these are necessary to provide

service members and DOD employees with financial readiness and a plan for retirement.

“The purpose of this event is to highlight the value of saving for retirement as part of the Build Wealth, No Debt message of Military Saves,” Melvin said. “TSP is a great vehicle to save for retire-

2002, he attended the Basic Underwater Demolition and Seal course, graduating from Class 242, and completed the Special Operations Combat Medic course in 2003. Byers has been assigned to various east coast Seal teams, and completed eight overseas deployments with seven combat tours.

Byers’ awards and decorations include five awards of the Bronze Star Medal with Combat V device, two awards of the Purple Heart, the Joint Service Commendation Medal with Valor device, the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Combat V device, two additional awards of the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, two awards of the Combat Action Ribbon, three Presidential Unit Citations, two Joint Meritorious Unit Awards, two Navy Unit Commendations, and five Good Conduct Medals.

The Medal of Honor is awarded to members of the armed forces who distinguish themselves conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of their own lives above and beyond the call of duty while: ■ engaged in an action against an enemy of the U.S.; ■ engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; ■ serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the U.S. is not a belligerent party.

There must be no margin of doubt or possibility of error in awarding this honor.

To justify this decoration, the deed performed must have been one of personal bravery and self-sacrifice so conspicuous as to clearly distinguish the individual above his or her comrades, and must have involved risk of life. It must also be the type of deed which if not done would not subject the individual to any justified criticism.

ment and the members of our community should take advantage of the TSP classes offered by FFSC, their command financial specialist as well as the financial educators at FFSC.” According to Intelligence Specialist 2nd Class Sarah Maley, this event is important for anyone that can benefit from TSP and other classes FFSC offers.

“Like many Sailors, I started using TSP three years into my career because I was unaware of the benefits,” Maley said. “This information session is important because it explains TSP in depth which is something we do not get in boot camp when the program is initially introduced.”

The event fulfilled its purpose by providing their guest with information and further resources for financial stability.

NAVY INSTALLATIONS BEGIN ENFORCEMENT OF REAL ID ACT

By Ed Wright Navy Installations Command Public Affairs

WASHINGTON

Navy installations worldwide will no longer authorize base access for individuals who do not have an approved government-issued credential or state driver’s license that is compliant with the REAL ID Act of 2005.

Driver’s licenses from Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, Washington, and American Samoa

are not compliant with the congressionally-mandated REAL ID Act of 2005, therefore, personnel seeking base access from these states will require a secondary form of identification.

Washington and Minnesota enhanced driver’s licenses, however, which do meet the REAL ID Act requirements, will be accepted.

Navy installations will require visitors who present a driver’s license from a non-compliant state or territory to provide an additional form

SNOW PLOWS, WEDDING VOWS

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Contributor

After 23 years of marriage, I know relationships are tested.

Power struggles surface during unexpected moments, when complex facets of our subconscious bait us into subtle conflicts with our mates. Every couple has their triggers, and ours include discussions over which way the toilet paper roll should hang, who touched the thermostat last, and what constitutes junk mail.

For my husband and I, there is one seemingly harmless event that launches us into a passive aggressive battle of wills like no other. It happens only once or twice a year, but when it does, it causes palpable tension that leaves us both leafing through the yellow pages for a good attorney, just in case.

That event is skiing.

A wonderful recreational sport intended to provide overworked human beings with a break from the daily grind, unforgettable memories, and adrenaline-fueled euphoria; skiing actually sends us to the brink of divorce.

Our perceptions of skiing started in our respective childhoods. Francis will never forget being forced to take ski lessons with his brothers, after having been bribed with hot cocoa. Whereas, my high school best friend and I loved going to local Pennsylvania ski resorts, lying to boys we met on the lifts, telling them we went to exclusive private schools and our names were “Claire Taylor” and “Brooke Townsend.”

With our particular histories, Francis and I see family ski trips through different lenses – mine rose colored, and his sharply focused in

harsh lighting.

Last weekend, some friends invited us to their ski place up in New Hampshire. As soon as we accepted the invitation, the power struggle ensued.

Subconsciously, Francis was prepared to hate every minute of it – the cold, the inconvenience, the expense – and to hold me personally responsible for his annoyance. And without realizing it, I launched my own propaganda campaign to convince him that skiing is fun.

While Francis remained stubbornly skeptical, I ran around like the proverbial headless chicken to shield him from the inconvenient truth. I needed a doctorate in economics to get the best deal on lift tickets. I needed eight arms at the base recreation center to rent two snowboard sets, two alpine ski sets, and four cross country ski sets; I needed the patience of Job, packing enough gloves and hats and snacks and drinks to keep everyone happy.

I needed a second mortgage on our house to pay for it, and acting lessons in how to grin and bear it.

It all came to a head our first day on the slopes. After huffing and puffing our way into long underwear, ski pants, sweaters, and coats, we still had to pack our equipment into the car, find a parking spot at the resort, and awkwardly lug our clacking skis, poles, helmets and boots to the ticket area.

The tension emanating from Francis was palpable. With clenched teeth, he silently screamed, “This is all your fault!” And the worst was yet to come.

Sweaty and winded, we went to the locker room for the most notorious of ski-related tasks. You’d think that by now, someone would have

invented an easier way to put on ski boots, or at the very least, a boot that doesn’t make you walk like you are doing a bad version of The Hustle.

Francis grunted audibly from his side of the bench. It took two of us bracing against the lockers to snap his buckles shut, then we had to do it all over again when he announced that a wrinkle in his sock was causing excruciating pain.

Cussing under his breath, Francis did the awkward-rocking-bootwalk outside to find his skis, and by some miracle of God, we made it onto the chair lift.

In that rare moment of calm silence, I realized that Francis had been right all along – skiing really is the most inconvenient sport. I decided to concede defeat and leave him alone, fully expecting him to give up after a run or two and head for the lodge.

As the journey winds down

By Linda Port Military Spouse Contributor

Thirty years. Now that the retirement date is set and plans are lining up I am feeling much cause for reflection. So of course, my mind is reeling with the history of the career that has been our life and of the many, many things that I have learned.

Sometimes it seems like that image painted in our mind of life flashing before your eyes, and there is so much more to it than just the “technical” side of making your way. I think of the journey from its beginning with our experiencing the adjustment, learning the processes, understanding the Navy and the military in general. These things, along with the hundreds of details of Permanent Change of Stations and navigating military programs, then interfacing it all with family needs wherever we were stationed; these things are the subject matter that we can study up on to be prepared. They make up the mechanics of this Navy life. There are, however, many other elements to the big picture of life in the Navy.

Where you are stationed as well as the community type your Sailor is in will always play a big role in how you fare. We need to focus on the hand that we are dealt to work with but it is good to have at least a general understanding of the rest of the Navy’s components. Most importantly we need to identify what I call the “predictable variables” that exist wherever your orders take you. The detailing process is very complicated. Even within the same job specialty Sailors may have different skills and certifications. The array of billets your Sailor may fill can vary greatly. At a new duty station, once you can get a feel for the work routines and sur-

rounding community you will have the basic elements established to work your life around.

Consider this the playing field and ground rules.

Ask questions and learn it as quickly as you can manage.

Layered over all of this is the human element.

This is the part that makes the most difference for me, and we have the least control over, but I think it is the biggest variable for spouses.

Who you meet along the way and how they treat you can set the tone – although we hold some responsibility too – as we interact and integrate into a new place. Whether it is coworkers at the command and their spouses, neighbors, or individuals in the community as you settle in we all need to feel welcomed a little bit. Sometimes, later in my Sailors career, we have been lucky enough to arrive at a new place and already know some people at the command or in the area. In the very beginning though, we were wide eyed and a little lost. I will be honest; we were a lot lost – and pretty clueless.

I was so very fortunate to learn from the gracious example of a lot of wonderful people from the very start. There was no grand coordinated effort by any command directive or instruction.

I think I was just lucky to meet quite a few genuinely nice spouses at several locations who were happy to draw me into the fold and teach me the ropes. They spoke not necessarily with authority, but from the experience of “I’ve been in your shoes, let me help you.” I will never forget the kindness and understanding. They showed me the security of being able to rely upon them when our Sailors were away and the importance of allowing others to rely on me. The camaraderie of spending time together was therapeutic! I also learned to see when a friendship was true and when a request or offer of help was sincere.

Hours later, I ran into Francis on the slopes. Not only had he not given up, he’d been skiing all day long, without hot cocoa. “You up for another run?” he asked from behind his balaclava.

“Heck yeah,” I smiled, slotting into the lift line with him.

On the chairlift, I asked, “Isn’t this fun?”

“It’s okay, I guess,” he responded, noncommittally.

I leaned in for a frosty kiss, realizing that our power struggle had peaked, and it was all downhill from there.

With each re-enlistment our footing was more solid. I gained confidence in navigating our journey and reinforced what I knew by sharing with others. At first it was just with friends at barbecues or Bunco nights but it evolved to mentoring spouse seminars and COMPASS sessions. The more time I spent sharing what I knew, the more I realized I could learn from others who had different experiences than me.

So, I continued on as a faithful student even as I taught, and kept my mind open. Guiding others through a comfortable and successful military life was my way of trying to pay back to those who helped me over the years. I encourage spouses to mentor their peers. Just as the Navy asks Sailors to help their shipmates we can all pay it forward to ease the way for the next person.

I cherish the friendships I have made over the last 30 years and have a couple of groups from various stages over the career that I keep up with on Facebook. But there are a handful of those who are special. We have been stationed near a couple of them multiple times. Last week a group of five of us got together from far and wide for a little three-day retreat. I do not think we will let so much time go by again before getting the band back together! We enjoyed how comforting it is to just sit around the table over coffee or a chilly beverage and just relax and revel in friendship.

As we embark on new adventures we can never know what kind of people will be there to greet us. I have been so blessed over the years to meet such wise and kind people along the way. In a couple months, after the ceremony, I will again feel like the rookie for a little while.

I suppose I should regard it as one last set of orders but I will admit I am a little uneasy of the unknown. I know it will be fine. My dear friends have assured me, and I trust them.

may be eligible for this VAadministered program. Since its introduction in 2009, the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill benefit has proven popular with transferability being one of the mostvalued features for Sailors interested in paying for their family member’s college education.

Transferability Qualified Sailors may elect to transfer all or a portion of their benefits to a spouse or child enrolled in Defense Eligibility Enrollment System and eligible for benefits. For transferability, Sailors must have served at least six years in the armed forces and agree to serve an additional four years, in most cases.

MCSN Megan N. Anuci Veterans Affairs Military Services Coordinator Beth Juachon explains details of the Montgomery G.I. Bill for active-duty service members to Naval Special Warfare Sailors at Naval Amphibious Base, Coronado, California. The Post 9/11 Montgomery G.I. Bill offers tuition and fees, yearly books and supplies, and a monthly housing allowance to qualified service members.

You have 10-15 years to use your benefits Once you have separated from the service you have 10 years to use all of your benefits under the Montgomery G.I. Bill and 15 years to use your Post-9/11 G.I. Bill benefits. Although separat-

ing from service “starts the clock” on your 10-year time limit, you should know that if you rejoin active-duty service for more than 90 days during the 10-year period, your 10year clock is reset.

Military apprenticeships celebrate 40 years

By Ed Barker Naval Education and Training Professional Development and Technology Center Public Affairs

PENSACOLA, FLA.

January 2016 marked the 40th year of the United Services Military Apprenticeship Program (USMAP), providing sea-service military members with certifications documenting their skills through the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).

According to USMAP Certifications and Credentialing Program supervisor Tom Phillips this anniversary also marked a milestone of 80,000 current active participants, with 55,000 registrations in the past year.

“The USMAP team works closely with DOL to provide nationally recognized apprenticeship programs that result in journeyman-level certificates of completion for members of the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard,” Phillips said. “During their apprenticeship, service members document their military duties while working in their rating or Military Occupational Specialty.”

Earning the DOL certificate costs the service member nothing and does not normally require working additional off-duty hours. Phillips also noted that it can give the

member a significant head-start on their post-military career.

Recent improvements to the program allow registrations to be done completely online, with few exceptions.

“We’ve made significant upgrades to the program, making it easier for service members to sign up, manage and complete the program,” Navy Voluntary Education Operations Director Lt. Cmdr. Mark Wadsworthn said. “These upgrades have resulted in the increase in the number of service members actively working toward their USMAP certificates.”

One Sailor who has embraced the program is 1st Lt. Department Leading Chief Petty Officer for Naval Base San Diego, California, Senior Chief Hull Technician Jonathan Purvis. Purvis currently holds five DOL certifications, ranging from plumber to welder.

“I started working on USMAP apprenticeships during my first enlistment, when I wasn’t sure whether I was going to stay active duty, and I knew that it could help me get a job in the civilian sector,” Purvis said.

“But throughout my career, working on several apprenticeships has helped me focus on different skill areas and made me a better technician. That focus and knowledge has

also helped me train my junior Sailors.”

USMAP enables documentation of a Sailor’s formalized and structured training. It combines onthe-job training (OJT) and related technical instruction. All the individual is required to do is regularly document the hours worked in the various skill areas either in a hardcopy log or electronically through the web and have it verified by their supervisor. In addition, the service member submits a report every six months to the USMAP staff and a final report once their required OJT hours are complete.

“Each apprenticeship requires anywhere between 2,000 and 8,000 hours of OJT work and training,” USMAP Senior Registrar Bob Rowland said. “Working a typical 40-hour week, many members can complete an apprenticeship within a year. There are 123 trades available, ranging from aircraft mechanic to x-ray equipment tester. More than 96 percent of Navy enlisted ratings, 85 percent of Coast Guard enlisted ratings, and 232 Marine Corps MOS’ are eligible for these trades.

Some trades, such as computer operator are available to all ratings.”

Rowland added that pre-registration credits can be awarded to

Creating a ‘greener’ NSASP — Small steps equal big savings

By Barbara Wagner Naval Support Activity South Potomac Public Affairs

DALHGREN, VA.

Like many large corporations looking to cut costs and create a more energy efficient work space, the Navy, including Naval Support Facilities (NSF) Dahlgren and Indian Head, are working towards a ‘greener’ footprint.

With that in mind, Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP) Energy Manager Kathryn Simpson and her team are focusing on small changes that create a big impact around the installation, and recent funding is helping to make that possible.

Naval District Washington was the recipient of Energy Conservation Investment Program funding for the second time. That funding will allow NSASP Energy to make the P-231 Chemical Biological Incident Response Force housing area and the main building on NSF Indian Head more energy efficient.

“This is very exciting news for us, we are going to be doing what we call an ‘Envelope Energy’ project at P-231,” Simpson said.

The actual execution of the project will be in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 and is being funded in FY16 for the planning portion of the project.

“One of the really nice things about a project like this is that not only will it save us a substantial amount of energy,

www.judyboonerealty.com

it will also improve the habitability of the spaces,” Simpson said.

The Energy Envelope project for P-231 will focus on improvements in the energy efficiency of the buildings with energy efficient windows and exterior materials, motion-activated lighting, and putting low-flow sensors on all of the water faucets and shower heads.

“One of the things I have learned since arriving in August is that there are concerns about the over-burdened aquifers that cover most of Charles County including NSF Indian Head,” Simpson said. “The more that we can reduce our usage of the aquifer, the more water that leaves for the rest of the usage. Being a good neighbor and saving energy is a win on all accounts.”

These small changes, in addition to other major energy infrastructure projects, will be addressed in the coming months. This will also include the NSF Indian Head water systems and is only a small portion of the changes that are being introduced.

Energy auditors are currently conducting inspections of structures in and around both NSF Dahlgren and NSF Indian Head, identifying other ways that the command can continue reducing energy consumption and create a greener working environment.

those who have time-in-service and can even be applied toward college credits.

“Service members can receive a maximum credit up to 50 percent of the required OJT,” Rowland said.

“For example, an E-6 with 10 years of service interested in an apprenticeship requiring 6,000 hours can receive a maximum of 3,000 credits toward their certificate, significantly cutting their requirements for hours of logged on-the-job training.”

Any active-duty Sailor, Marine, or Coast Guardsman can become an apprentice as long as they have been designated in a rating, have sufficient time to complete the pro-

gram while on active duty and possess a high school diploma or GED certificate. The selected trade must be their primary job at their current command.

“It’s about quantifying what you’ve accomplished,” Phillips said. “Service members are already doing the work; it’s just a matter of documenting what they do. Now they have their work ‘on the record’ and a completed apprenticeship shows significant professional development, and can look good to promotion boards.

Certificates also regularly open doors once a service member decides to hang up the uniform.”

system of neck and waist measurements used to calculate body fat percentages will be the final opportunity to pass the BCA. Failing the BCA will result in the Sailor being placed into the Fitness Enhancement Program; however, the individual will still take the PRT and can pass the overall PFA. “These changes do not result in a loosening of the standards,” Goza said. “The reality is that regardless of how you measure in during the BCA, you will participate in the PRT portion of the PFA under the new system. Your overall fitness will be measured based on how you actually perform physically.”

Under the former PFA system, three failures during a four-year period resulted in a discharge from the Navy. In correlation with the new BCA standards, two failures during a three-year period will result in a discharge.

The changes are intended to reduce the number of Sailors discharged every year for PFA failures. More than 4,000 sailors were discharged from the Navy as a result of PFA performance from 2011 to 2014.

NAS Patuxent River is NDW’s energy biggest loser

Navy Medicine hosts Women’s Health Summit

By Steve Van Der Werff U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery Public Affairs

By MC1 Pedro A. Rodriguez Naval District Washington Public Affairs

WASHINGTON

Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River was announced as the winner of the Naval District Washington (NDW) 2015 Energy Biggest Loser (EBL) Competition, Jan. 24.

The competition among the NDW installations ran for the whole month of November and pitted one base against the other to see which one could reduce energy use the most during the month. The total usage was collected weekly and then compiled at the end of the month. The winning installation was chosen based on the greatest percent reduction in electrical consumption from the previous year.

Having reduced its overall energy consumption by 6.2 percent, NAS Patuxent River had the greatest reduction and will receive the first place prize of $70,000 to use toward base improvements. Naval Support Activity (NSA) South Potomac earned second place, and NSA Annapolis earned third place. Second and third place “losers” will receive $50,000 and $30,000 respectively.

NAS Patuxent River Commanding Officer Capt.

Heidi Fleming, accepted the $70,000 award on her installation’s behalf.

“We’ve been leaning forward in partnering with our tenants to educate the workforce on the importance of changing our culture to reduce our energy consumption,” Fleming said. “It’s truly a team effort to get a workforce of 25,000 to see that every bit each of us can do adds up. While 6.2 percent may not seem like a lot, it’s about $102,000 off of one month’s electric bill.”

It was the first time NDW held the “Energy Biggest Loser” competition among its installations.

In addition to the main competition, a poster and video contest were also held in an effort to promote energy conservation awareness, provide education, and promote individual actions personnel can take to help bring down costs of energy use ashore.

The winners for the poster and video contest received a letter of recognition. The winning poster and videos both went to the Naval Academy Midshipmen representing NSA Annapolis.

The EBL competition was also an effort to change culture and behavior, achieve a regional energy reduction of 5 percent for the month of November and facilitate continual energy education and communication throughout the year.

“The competition was done in an effort to broaden the reach of energy savings,” NDW Energy Program Manager Lt. Cmdr. James Shefchik said.

“Every computer shut down, every light switched off, reduces the Navy’s energy bill and reduces the fossil fuel burned.”

The contest used friendly competition to encourage people to think just a little harder about the energy impacts they make.

Shefchik was also confident the overarching message brought by the competition made a big difference.

“Saving energy does not have to be painful, but it does require attention,” Shefchik said.

The competition was also inspired by the Navy’s ongoing energy conservation initiative started in 2009 by Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Ray Mabus. The program, known as the Great Green Fleet, aims to reduce the Department of the Navy’s consumption of energy, decrease its reliance on foreign sources of oil, and significantly increase its use of alternative energy. Energy bills are the single largest cost for Navy installations, reflecting about 28 percent of Navy’s shore budget. Reducing energy costs will help us reach the SECNAV’s energy goals.

SAN DIEGO, CALIF.

Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) hosted its first Women’s Health Summit, Jan. 25-28.

The summit gave stakeholders an opportunity to understand and discuss critical topics regarding women’s health and health care, as well as contribute to the development of a comprehensive, strategic plan to shape and guide the future of the Navy and Marine Corps women’s health community.

Commander of U.S. 3rd fleet Vice Adm. Nora W. Tyson was the featured guest speaker and emphasized the importance and value of the summit with regards to readiness.

“As the 3rd fleet Commander, I’m in the readiness business. I owe the Pacific fleet commander the ready forces he needs to carry out their mission in the region,” Tyson said. “The health of our force has a very real impact on my ability.”

Topics addressed during the summit

included: ■ Women’s health challenges and opportunities in the Navy Medicine community.

■ Population health management throughout the continuum of care.

■ A community vision and goals for the future of women’s health and health care delivery.

“Our goal is to develop a strategic plan for the Navy and Marine Corps women’s health community to guide the delivery of health care and optimize the health of female beneficiaries,” BUMED Office of Women’s Health Cmdr. Eva Domotorffy said. “This plan will be evidence-based, driven by stakeholder input and aligned with SECNAV [secretary of the Navy] and BUMED priorities. “During our breakout sessions we discussed existing and anticipated challenges to the delivery of care and achieving optimal health for female beneficiaries.”

Cmdr. Gregory Freitag emphasized that the number of women serving in the military is increasing and their roles in the military and civilian sector are changing, which means health require-

ments need to change as well.

“Attendees discussed women’s health issues, challenges and opportunities from the provider perspective and the patient perspective,” Freitag said. “This summit allowed us to address key findings, trends and themes that will influence women’s health care across the Navy and Marine Corps.”

Navy Medicine is a global health care network of 63,000 Navy medical personnel around the world who provide high quality health care to more than one million eligible beneficiaries. Navy Medicine personnel deploy with Sailors and Marines worldwide, providing critical mission support on board ship, in the air, under the sea and on the battlefield.

PRESENTATION HIGHLIGHTS IMPORTANCE OF SAPR

By Zach Mott Training Support Center Great Lakes Public Affairs

GREAT LAKES, ILL.

Eliminating sexual assault in the ranks is a top priority for military leaders. For the more than 5,000 new accession Sailors in Training Support Center (TSC) Great Lakes, learning skills and tactics to reach that goal were the focus of a presentation, Feb. 3, to a packed Ross Theater crowd.

“It helps emphasize the importance of sexual assault prevention and that there are people out there who do bad things,” TSC Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Command Liaison Chief Damage Controlman Jeremy Hardnack said. “This program is another tool to help us use in order to help get the information out there to the students.”

During the hour-long, interactive presentation, students were instructed on the harm of retaliation and reprisal, the role of each individual in the prevention of sexual assault, how to be a good bystander, the connection between harassment and sexist remarks, creating a culture that does not tolerate sex offenders and reinforce Navy core values.

The scenario depicted Sailors reacting to a reported sexual assault between shipmates. Sailors are first observers then take on more involved roles as the scenario

dives deeper into the issue of sexual assault and the reprisal thereafter.

“It really makes you think,” Seaman Elizabeth Jones said.

“Going through these scenarios it helps to get an idea of how to deal with a real situation like this.”

The production is researched and put on by Peer Praxis, a group based out of Long Beach, California, that stages productions for Navy and Marine Corps groups throughout the world.

“This show specifically deals with retaliation because we’ve seen a lot of that,” Peer Praxis group member Alfredo

Avila said.

This scenario is designed to give Sailors a toolkit of responses if they encounter similar issues.

“Sexual assault is a difficult issue with how do you curb it,” Avila said. “When presented with an opportunity when you can do something about it and do an action. That’s how you train for combat, you practice.

That’s how we feel people should train to prevent these kinds of things.”

This presentation is a continuation of an education that began in student indoctrination during their first

week at TSC as bystander intervention is introduced.

That training continues through instruction from Navy Military Training Instructors and programs taught by outside agencies, such as this one.

“The CO [commanding officer], XO [executive officer] and CMC [command master chief] are very adamant about having this training because it’s one of the top programs for the CNO [chief of naval operations] and the SECNAV [secretary of the Navy] to make sure we’re talking about sexual assault prevention,” Hardnack said.

NAF Misawa Sailors begin surface warfare pin snow sculpture

By MCCS Ryan C. Delcore Naval Air Facility Misawa, Japan Public Affairs

SAPPORO, JAPAN

Sailors stationed at U.S. Naval Air Facility (NAF) Misawa, Japan, and its tenant commands began work on a snow sculpture as part of the 67th annual Sapporo Snow Festival in Hokkaido, Japan, Jan. 30.

The team will carve a 3-D surface warfare pin in honor of the Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface warfare program, marking the 33rd consecutive year the U.S. Navy has sent a team of eight Sailors to participate in the festival.

The surface warfare pin will be carved from a 10-by-10 foot block of compacted snow and will be on display during the festival, which is visited by more than 2 million spectators each year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our team has never had this experience before and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their ďŹ rst time ever trying to complete a sculpture,â&#x20AC;?

Team Leader Builder 1st Class Thomas Thornton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a phenomenal job. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on their second day on the site and the surface

The Sailors were chosen by their commands as a result of their stellar performance while on and off duty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My personal experience here has been amazing so far, this is a once in a lifetime chance to be able to participate in an event like this,â&#x20AC;? Information Systems Technician 3rd Class Nicholas Garcia said.

In recent years, the U.S. Navy snow sculpting teams have sculpted replicas of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lone Sailor,â&#x20AC;? USS George Washington (CVN 73), the famous

U.S. Navy Seabee logo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Fighting Beeâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest commissioned ship â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the USS Constitution.

The team has seven days to build the sculpture in time for the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kickoff, Feb. 5, and they have made quick progress shaping the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hull and waves.

While in Sapporo, the U.S. Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team will once again be hosted by the Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) members at Camp Sapporo.

Along with Thornton and Garcia, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-Navy snow sculpting team is also comprised of Mineman Seaman William Deaver; Yeoman 2nd Class Pauline Foust; Utilitiesman Constructionman Victoria Holland; Operations Specialist 2nd Class Ellington Morgan; Aviation Electronics Technician 3rd Class Darshelay Rockette; and Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Samuel Weldin.

There are many snow sculpting teams from around the world that participate in the festival every year. JGSDF and the city of Sapporo create some of the largest sculptures measuring more than 40 feet high and 80 feet wide.

U.S. Navy photo STEM students participate in a variety of hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics activities, and have the opportunity to interact with the Naval Academy faculty and midshipmen, who serve as role models and mentors.

Cherry Point family earns Military Family of the Quarter Award

By Marine Corps Cpl. Unique B. Roberts Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point Public Affairs

CHERRY POINT, N.C.

As members of the armed forces, service members spend countless hours protecting Americans and their freedoms.

In the same manner, military members also dedicate their time to uplifting and rebuilding their local community.

Among the number of individuals who volunteer in the community, Naval Hospital Clinic Cherry Poitn (NHCCP) Lab Technician Hospital Corsman 1st Class Anacleto De La Garza and his family have dedicated more than 200 hours to support the Havelock, North Carolina, community.

For their efforts, the Havelock Military Affairs Committee awarded the family with the Havelock Military Family of the Quarter Award during a ceremony in Havelock, Jan. 27.

“It is important to know that military personnel are willing to go out and assist the community whenever there is a need,” De La Garza said. “The opportunities to volunteer are endless and with every minute spent helping the community we are cultivating a change.”

The De La Garza family has volunteered and assisted with a variety of organizations and events including Cherry Point’s Breast Cancer 5K Color Run, the Veteran Services Association 2015 Veteran’s Day Parade, the Annunciation Catholic Church Daily Bread and the 25th Scroogefest Arts and Crafts Festival.

“I started volunteering back in 2009, assistant coaching with my son’s little league baseball team,” De La Garza said. “When I moved I started volunteering here and in the Camp Lejeune area.”

The De La Garza family said they feel humbled to have received the award and intend to continue supporting the community.

“De La Garza is doing what I consider the most important aspect of leadership and that is leading by example,” NHCCP’s Command Master Chief Nathan Whiddon said. “His actions directly influence all of his shipmates, but especially the young Sailors within the command. They can look to De La Garza and recognize there is more to being a Sailor than just doing your ‘day job.’ Being a part of the community is about contributing to that community and De La Garza and his family are great examples of what that really means.”

The John C. Stennis Strike Group (JCSSG) crossed the International Date Line into the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations on Feb. 4.

Approximately 7,000 Sailors make up the strike group, which is on a regularly scheduled Western Pacific deployment.

“The Sailors of this strike group are ready, willing and able to go wherever is necessary to protect American interests,” JCSSG Commander Rear Adm. Ron Boxall said. “We will continue the great tradition of projecting power and enhancing U.S. partner relationships around the world.”

During the initial seconds of the attack, several U.S. and Afghan personnel were wounded, creating immediate overwhelming chaos across the formation. Without hesitation, Salabarria maneuvered into the kill zone, engaging the rogue commando.

Once he reached a severely wounded fellow corpsman, he dove between him and the rogue commando, using his body as a shield to prevent further injuries. While protecting the other corpsman with his body, he engaged the rogue commando with his M4 assault rifle, eliminating him and any further threat to his team. Immediately after securing the area, Salabarria rendered aid to two wounded team members and coordinated their evacuation via helicopter. His bold actions ultimately saved the lives of his fellow team members and Afghan commando partners.

Visitors may also enter Navy installations under a “Trusted Traveler” procedure. This procedure allows a uniformed service member or government employee with a valid Common Access Card (CAC); a military retiree, with a valid DOD identification credential; or an adult dependent of at least 16 years of age, with a valid DOD identification credential, to present their identification token for verification while simultaneously vouch-

NSA Annapolis Water Treatment Plant fully operational

By MC1 Pedro A. Rodriguez NDW Public Affairs

WASHINGTON

Naval Support Activity (NSA) Annapolis held a ribbon cutting and open house for the U. S. Naval Academy Water Treatment Plant in Annapolis, Md., Feb. 3.

This is the first event showcasing energy conservation measures Naval District Washington (NDW) and Naval Facilities Engineering Command Washington have on tap for the Secretary of the Navy Great Green Fleet initiative.

“The NSA Annapolis water treatment plant project was developed as a Utility Energy Service Contract [UESC] water conservation project with Baltimore Gas and Electric,” NSA Annapolis Public Works Department Water and Waste Water Plant Engineer-

ing Technician Paul A. Bianco said.

The $7.7 million project is expected to save 130 million gallons per year by recycling plant backwash, reducing groundwater production requirement up to 40 percent and costs, and impact, associated with run-off discharged into the Chesapeake Bay. The plant upgrades include centrifuges and gravity settlers. The reject water and iron-sludge mixture will be reduced from a 98 percent water mixture to a 30 percent cake through a process called sludge-dewatering. Instead of weekly removal of the water and iron-sludge mixture via five tankers; we will extend removal to months and remove the iron-sludge cake via a rolloff dumpster.

“The project will drastically reduce operational costs – $1.5 Million annually – through an improved sludge removal process, recapturing of filter

attacks. Congress tightened up issuance processes and documentation needed to get a driver’s license. Compliant cards must have specific security features to prevent tampering, counterfeiting or duplication of the document.

The licenses also must present data in a common, machine-readable format.

backwash, reduced energy consumption and a reduction of chemical treatment,” Bianco said. “This plant will conserve millions of gallons of groundwater and drastically reduce the amount of treated effluent discharged to the Chesapeake; two precious and significant natural resources.”

In 2016 as part of the Department of the Navy’s Great Green Fleet initiative, Navy shore installations are highlighting energy conservation methods that aide the transformation of the Navy’s energy culture and enhance energy security. The water treatment plant is one of several Navy water conservation projects.

“The Great Green Fleet initiative has a lot to do with using alternate energy, but it’s about energy conservation, to find energy conservation measures that will help us be a greener entity and making a better use of our money,” Naval Support Activity Annapolis Commanding Officer Capt. Logan Jones said. “Often these initiatives are just proclamations from people who understand that we can save thousands or even millions of dollars just by taking initiative, caring enough, finishing the project to start reaping those benefits.”

Continued from C1 The event moved this year to the Half Moone Cruise and Celebration Center adjacent to HRNM, using the larger space to accommodate more local partners and an expanded play area.

“Every year, it gets bigger,” HRNM Educator Elijah Palmer said. “The first year, we were having it next door, and now we have better ships, better designs and clearer instructions.”

The program offered partakers of all ages the opportunity to show off ships built at home,

in addition to creating ships from HRNM’s custom-made diagrams of USS Zumwalt, USS Harry S. Truman and the Monitor, to name a few.

Colton Wyckoff, 4, and first-time participant, assembled a difficult-level ship accompanied by his father, Brandon.

“I liked putting the blasters on,” Colton said.

More than 70 volunteers also aided the event, helping children assemble ships and keeping track of runaway Lego pieces.

“This year, our volunteer base consists mostly of active-

duty Navy where we reached out to all the local command master chiefs asking for volunteers,” Darcy said. “You might not know they’re in the Navy because of what they’re wearing, but they’re Sailors helping Sailors.”

Naval Weapons Station Yorktown Machinist Mate (Weapons) 2nd Class Gabriel Baltezar volunteered at the medium-difficulty level tables.

“I always liked playing with Legos when I was a kid and wanted to see what it’s all about,” Baltezar said.

Palmer also judged the contest entries, believes seeing the kids’ enthusiasm was the most enjoyable aspect of the event.

“The kids get really excited about not only the kits we provide, but they also feed off the ideas from the ships that are brought from home or that we build here at the museum,” Palmer said. “It’s a great event for the fact that it brings so many people here, and that’s why we like hosting it, because it’s part of our mission to educate and be here for the public.”

However, out of all the paper used, only 62 percent – 42,500 tons – is being recycled, so there’s still room for improvement. To encourage people to recycle more, try providing a small container for waste and large container for recycling.

Preventing pollution from car, lawn, pool maintenance NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic

Stormwater pollution results when precipitation such as rain or snowmelt runs over surfaces picking up pollutants like pesticides, fertilizers, construction site sediments, pet waste, litter, etc. These pollutants can significantly degrade water quality and threaten aquatic wildlife and human health. In addition, stormwater pollution impacts our drinking water supplies and use of waterways for recreational activities such as swimming, fishing, and boating.

The facts related to pollution can be staggering: ■ A single quart of oil can pollute 250,000 gallons of drinking water – NDRC, 1994.

■ Recycling just one gallon of used oil can generate enough electricity to run the average household for almost 24 hours – Philadelphia Water Department, A Homeowner’s Guide to Stormwater Management, January 2006.

■ Pesticides are toxic to the fish and the organisms living in our waterways and are harmful to our drinking water supplies.

■ Excessive nutrients from fertilizers result in an overgrowth of algae and plants which depletes the necessary oxygen for fish.

■ Back wash residues, algaecides, and acid washes from routine swimming pool and spa maintenance can be very harmful if discharged into our waterways.

Below are tips we can all adopt to help keep our local waterways healthy.

Vehicle Maintenance: Using the following tips for proper car and truck maintenance can prevent pollutants such as oil, heavy metals, and toxic materials from entering the storm drain: ■ Frequently check your vehicle for leaks by examining the pavement in your driveway or garage and use drip pans to capture the leaky substances until you are able to completely repair the leak.

■ Properly dispose of or recycle used or unwanted oil, transmission fluid, antifreeze, and batteries.

Never dump or allow these materials to leak onto paved surfaces that connect to the storm drain system.

■ Carefully store vehicle maintenance supplies in tightly sealed containers to prevent spills.

■ In the case of a spill, use an absorbent material to contain the potential pollutant, clean it up immediately once absorbed, and properly dispose of the spill and cleanup materials.

Special tip: Empty liquid detergent bottles are excellent for storing vehicle maintenance fluids because the lids seal tightly.

Lawn Maintenance: Using the following tips for proper lawn care and

maintenance can prevent pollutants such as pesticides, fertilizers, lawn clippings and leaves from entering the storm drain and negatively affecting our nearby waterways: ■ Use pesticides and fertilizers sparingly and never right before it rains. If you believe that your soil needs nutrients, have your soil tested first so that you know the proper amount to apply. Over application of fertilizers is a leading cause or pollution from homeowners.

■ Composting and/or using organic fertilizers are highly recommended to reduce polluted runoff from our homes.

■ Do not use a leaf blower or sweep your leaves and grass clippings into the storm drains around your home. This clogs storm drains which can cause flooding issues and adds excessive nutrients to our waterways. Grass clippings hold the fertilizers or pesticides that are applied to your lawn, and if blown into the nearby storm drains will carry these pollutants into the downstream waterways.

Special tip: Instead of bagging your lawn clippings and leaves, use your lawn mower to mulch the lawn waste and allow it to spread over your lawn which will act as a natural fertilizer. This will also help you save money because you will not have to pay for fertilizers and will help get that nice green lawn!

Pool Maintenance: Using the following tips for proper pool maintenance can prevent chlorine from entering the storm drain: ■ Drain your pool waters to the sanitary system if possible and allow by local ordinance. The sanitary system provides treatment before discharge to local waterways.

■ If draining your pool water to the stormwater system, only drain your pool when a test kit demonstrates that the chlorine levels have dissipated and are no longer detected. The pH should be between 6.5 and 8.5 before discharging.

■ Never clean or rinse a pool or spa filter over a paved area that leads to a storm drain. Only rinse in a sink that is connected to the sanitary system or over a lawn that will absorb and infiltrate the runoff.

■ Carefully store your pool chemicals in a covered area and in tightly sealed containment to prevent spills and/or exposure to precipitation.

■ Prevent algae buildup and the need for additional chemicals with regular cleanings and maintaining consistent chlorine levels.

■ Avoid the use of the more toxic copper-based algaecides by using an alternative such as sodium bromide.

Deadpool ^^ In this irreverent spin on the superhero genre, former Special Forces soldier Wade Wilson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ryan Reynolds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; agrees to participate in a top-secret experiment after learning that he has terminal cancer. When the procedure leaves him with advanced healing powers and a disďŹ gured face, he reinvents himself as a wisecracking, spandex-clad mercenary known as Deadpool, and seeks revenge on those responsible.

Zoolander 2 Male models Derek Zoolander â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ben Stiller â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Hansel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Owen Wilson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; must investigate a conspiracy after a number of celebrities are assassinated while posing with Zoolanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue Steelâ&#x20AC;? look.

French composer Charles Gounodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take on Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Romeo and Julietâ&#x20AC;? made a welcome return to the Harrison Opera House, Norfolk, Jan. 5, evening in a striking new staging by Bernard Uzan.

The production, shared with Opera Carolina, was successful on many levels, helping to bring this lovely work to life.

There was a time when â&#x20AC;&#x153;Romeo and Juliet,â&#x20AC;? was considered old-fashioned and dated, and largely faded from stages. But over the past 50 years, it has gradually regained popularity, helped no doubt, by the continuing appeal of its story but also by a renewed appreciation of what a ďŹ ne opera Gounod crafted.

Uzan rightly realized that this opera doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need much â&#x20AC;&#x153;helpâ&#x20AC;? and staged it in a straightforward, dramatic fashion that helped the loversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; story stand out amid the colorful and varied lesser characters who pass through the work.

A handsome set of large arches across the rear of the stage allowed ample playing space and evocative lighting that rapidly shifted the scene from a ball to a moonlit garden and eventually to a tomb. The lighting design by Michael Baumgarten, who was also co-designer with Uzan, was some of the most beautiful seen at Virginia Opera.

None of this would have mattered if the protagonists had not maintained this high level.

It was announced that Marie-Eve Munger, who portrayed Juliet, was recovering from bronchitis. If there was any audible effect, it was slight. Once past her opening lines, she gave a lovely performance, portraying a feisty and spirited woman who grows up before the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes. Her singing was lyrical, but she could also manage Gounodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

intricate vocal lines, especially in the famous â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waltz Songâ&#x20AC;? in Act I. As the opera proceeded, Juliet was called on to sing more and more dramatically, especially in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Potionâ&#x20AC;? aria.

Munger showed no fatigue and did some of her most poignant singing in the ďŹ nal scene.

She was partnered with Jonathan Boyd, who brought the love-struck Romeo to life with his passionate stage presence and a voice that was more exciting the higher it went.

But this was no mere highnote-loving tenor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Boyd ended his Act II soliloquy to the sun with some beautifully executed soft, high singing that was as welcome as it was surprising. Many tenors merely belt out the last note, because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all they are able to do.

The heart of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Romeo and Julietâ&#x20AC;? is in the four great duets that Gounod gave his lovers.

Munger and Boyd were successful in tracing the course of the love story, from shy infatuation at the start, to passion after Romeo is banished and ďŹ nally to the desperation of the ďŹ nal scene.

The lesser parts were handled with varying degrees of success, from Kevin Langanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sonorous Frere Laurent and Susan Nicelyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rich Gertrude, to Kyle Tomlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong Tybalt and Kim Sogiokaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pert, slightly unsettled-sounding Stephano. Efrain Solis delivered his Queen Mab solo with good verbal clarity, but his voice was too light to command the stage at moments when Mercutio must dramatically take charge.

In the pit, James Meena led the Virginia Symphony members in a well-played rendering of Gounodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score. There was excellent coordination with the stage, and the orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution added signiďŹ cantly to the eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success. Hovering over all this was Gounod, that sometimes underrated composer, who wrote a work that at its best transports the audience to a very special place.

Newman on Don Miller: ‘He’s a motorhead like me’

By Rick Minter Universal Uclick

Even the most talented prospects with the best of resumes need to make a good first impression on a potential employer.

Back when NASCAR driver Ryan Newman was still in school at Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana, and racing on the weekends, he traveled to the Penske racing shop in North Carolina in search of a job racing Sprint Cup cars.

His lifelong love of old cars wound up being a big asset when it came to impressing the people at Penske, particularly Don Miller, then president of the team known at that time as Penske Racing South.

On his way in to one of their early meetings, Newman noticed a sharp-looking 1957 Ford in the parking lot. Unlike most of his peers, especially those his age, Newman immediately knew its make, model and year.

“When I went in I said, ‘That’s a nice 1957 Ford parked outside. Whose car is it?’” Newman said.

“It’s mine,” Miller said.

And that was the start of a great friendship between a young driver and a team executive old enough to be his

grandfather. It didn’t hurt his chances of landing a ride at Penske, either.

“It was like licking the stamp at that point,” Newman said.

“It was the best comment I made in that interview.”

In the years since, Newman and Miller have remained close friends, even as Miller retired from Penske and Newman moved on, first to Stewart-Haas Racing and then to his current home at Richard Childress Racing, where he drives the No. 31 Chevrolet in the Sprint Cup Series.

Miller has remained busy in his retirement. Today, he is chairman of the board of both the North Carolina Auto Racing Hall of Fame and the Stocks for Tots program, both of which serve children in need in the North Carolina area.

Still, the two find time to get together, and it’s more like a family relationship, as their wives and kids are friends with each other as well.

“He’s like a son to me,” Miller said.

A few weeks ago, while Newman was off making preseason media appearances, Miller took on some maintenance work on one of Newman’s old cars.

“He came up and pulled the gas tank out of one of my cars,” Newman said. “It was all varnished up, and he helped me out with that. He’s a motorhead like me.”

Sometimes it works the other way, with Newman helping out with the old cars while Miller is away.

Miller recalls an instance in which he was in the Washington, D.C., on business, and heard about a rare 1957 Ford that came off the assembly line with a 312-cubic-inch engine fed by a supercharger.

Newman tracked down the car and called Miller to report what he’d found. The thing that surprised them both was that the factory-built hot rod had four doors, which made it seem like more of a family car than a muscle car.

Miller, a noted historian of Fords from the 1950s, did some research and learned that the car was one of a kind – the only four-door 1957 Ford that came with a supercharger.

He also learned the reason it was ordered that way – A bootlegger placed the special order, likely assuming that the law enforcement officers he routinely tried to outrun wouldn’t be paying much attention to a gray, four-door car.

Miller also likes to tell the story of another purchase he made, this one at the Auto Fair held each year on the grounds of Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Having ridden with Newman in the 1953 Plymouth that had been Newman’s daily driver in college, Miller knew the salty roads of the Midwest had taken a toll on the car.

“We went around a curve once, and it felt like the body shifted on the frame,” Miller said. So when he saw another 1953 Plymouth at the Auto Fair, he knew Newman would like it, so he purchased it and parked it in Newman’s driveway as a surprise for him.

When Newman and his wife, Krissy, arrived home from a weekend of NASCAR racing in New Hampshire and saw the old Plymouth parked in his driveway, Newman turned to Krissy and said just one word, “Miller.”

DYNAMITE 12 – BISPING’S DEFINING MOMENTS

By Thomas Gerbasi UFC.com

It’s a fight Michael “The Count” Bisping has craved for years, and on Feb. 27, he will finally get his chance to throw hands with Brazilian icon Anderson Silva in the main event of the UFC FIGHT PASS show in London, England. For “The Count,” a win will certainly land the bout on his list of the longtime contender’s 12 most memorable moments. ...

Cage Rage 7 – Mark Epstein I July 10, 2004 | Result: Bisping TKO2 Unbeaten, yet untested, a young Michael Bisping was just 2-0 as a pro when he got the call to take on then 6-3 Mark “The Beast” Epstein, and almost immediately, Bisping got a rude welcome to the next level as he was dropped to a knee by a punch and later sent to the canvas, where he spent the majority of the first round fighting from his back. And though Bisping was obviously still raw as far as technique was concerned, his resilience was already evident, and he came out strong in the second round, eventually stopping Epstein at the 1:27 mark. He would notch a KO win over Epstein in their rematch four months later, and the 24-year old from Manchester was on his way to the top.

TUF 3 Finale – Josh Haynes June 24, 2006 | Result: Bisping TKO2 With British fighters Mark Weir, Ian Freeman, Lee Murray and Leigh Remedios only having spotty success in the UFC, you wouldn’t have been criticized too much for suggesting that Bisping, along with Ross Pointon, weren’t going to make much noise on the third season of The Ultimate Fighter.

And while Pointon made more fans for his personality than his fighting, Bisping quickly soared to the finals of TUF3, with his two round thrashing of Josh Haynes in the finale a mere formality. The UFC had a new Ultimate Fighter, and England finally had someone in the organization who looked like he would be staying around for a while.

UFC 70 – Elvis Sinosic April 21, 2007 Result: Bisping TKO2 After getting his first post-TUF win over Eric Schafer at UFC 66, Bisping was the natural choice to lead the UFC back into the UK for UFC 70 in Manchester, England. It was the type of pressure cooker environment that

could very well break a fighter, but Bisping took it all in stride, and from the moment he entered the Manchester Arena to Blur’s “Song 2”, he owned the hometown crowd. Sinosic took a little more convincing, but after scoring a knockdown and almost locking in a kimura, the Australian was stopped by Bisping in the second round, and a British star was born.

UFC 75 – Matt Hamill Sept. 8, 2007 | Result: Bisping W3 Having done no wrong thus far in his UFC career, it was inevitable that somewhere along the line, Bisping would hit a bump in the road. That bump was his TUF3 housemate and rival Matt Hamill, a fighter Bisping figured he would have his way with given his superior striking. But it was Hamill who showed up with improved stand-up that night in London, and after three closely contested rounds, many thought the fighter ending up with a “1” on a previously unbeaten record would be Bisping. But it was Hamill on the short end of the split decision, sending fans into a frenzy on internet message boards for weeks. As for Bisping, he got the win, and wasn’t shy about letting people know about it. “Of course, don’t insult me like that,” Bisping said when asked at the post-fight press conference if he believed he deserved the decision. “I’ll give him the first round, I won the second, and I won the third.”

UFC 78 – Rashad Evans Nov. 17, 2007 | Result: Evans W3 Two months after the Hamill bout, Bisping was back in action, and this time he was being asked to headline a Pay-Per-View event against fellow unbeaten Rashad Evans. This would be the true barometer of both fighters’ popularity, and after an entertaining war of words leading up to the bout, he and Evans delivered on all fronts, as the match garnered a considerable buzz by the time the opening bell rang. In the Octagon though, it would be Bisping falling short of victory for the first time, as Evans held off a late charge from the Brit to take a three-round split decision.

UFC 83 – Charles McCarthy April 19, 2008 | Result: Bisping TKO1 After the loss to Evans, Bisping decided that it was time to test the waters at middleweight, where he wouldn’t be forced into the role of ‘small guy’ every time he fought. Of course, TUF4’s Charles “Chainsaw Charles” McCarthy took exception to being Bisping’s

“break-in” fight at 185 pounds and he let Bisping know it at every opportunity. Such talk between the two made the fight perhaps the second most anticipated to Georges StPierre’s triumphant Montreal homecoming against Matt Serra, but Bisping wasn’t about to get into a prolonged war with “Chainsaw Charles.” Instead, Bisping stalked his foe, avoided a mid-round submission attempt and then proceeded to unleash a barrage of knees that broke McCarthy’s arm and forced a halt to the fight at the end of the first round. Middleweight? No problem.

UFC 89 – Chris Leben Oct. 18, 2008 | Result: Bisping W3 After the win over McCarthy, Bisping made short work of Jason Day at UFC 85 and was then given another headlining gig against Chris Leben in Birmingham, England. Now matched up with a striker for the first time since his TUF3 win over Haynes, Bisping was expected to engage in a toe-totoe brawl with Leben. But showing maturity and restraint, Bisping used a disciplined stick and move strategy that kept the wildswinging Leben at bay and allowed him to sail to a three-round unanimous decision victory. It wasn’t going to win any fight of the year awards, but in victory, Bisping showed that he wasn’t the same fighter that beat Epstein four years earlier. He was a versatile and dangerous contender now.

UFC 100 – Dan Henderson July 11, 2009 | Result: Henderson KO2 Following the win over Leben, Bisping locked horns with MMA superstar Dan “Hendo” Henderson as a coach on season nine of The Ultimate Fighter and led two members of his team, Ross Pearson and James Wilks, to victory on the show. Bisping wasn’t going to be so fortunate against “Hendo” when they met in the Octagon at UFC 100, and in a night when nothing went right, “The Count” was knocked out in spectacular fashion by the former two division PRIDE champion. It was a devastating defeat for Bisping, one that would take some time to recover from.

UFC 105 – Denis Kang Nov. 14, 2009 | Result: Bisping TKO2 When Bisping returned to action after the KO loss to Henderson, the entire MMA world was watching to see if the Brit was going to be able to recover – not just physically, but mentally – from the defeat. And he didn’t

get any gimme in his return, as he was pitted against another international star in Denis Kang, a fighter who wasted no time in testing Bisping’s chin in the first round. Yet after some shaky early moments, Bisping – his back pinned to the wall careerwise – roared out of his corner for the second round and halted Kang at the 4:24 mark. “The Count” was back, proving that fighters aren’t defined by how they get knocked down, but how they get back up.

UFC 127 – Jorge Rivera Feb. 27, 2011 | Result: Bisping TKO2 The lead-up to this bout between the veteran middleweights was beyond heated, yet on fight night, it was Bisping who got his revenge on Jorge “El Conquistador” Rivera, as he stopped him in the second round. It wasn’t a win that was going to move “The Count” closer to a title shot, but it was a solid victory, one that he followed up with another dominant performance, a third-round TKO win over his TUF 14 coaching rival Jason “Mayhem” Miller.

UFC Fight Night – Cung Le August 23, 2014 | Result: Bisping TKO4 From 2012 to April of 2014, Bisping only managed a 2-3 record, defeating Brian Stann and Alan Belcher while losing to Chael Sonnen, Vitor Belfort and Tim Kennedy. It was a rough spell for the Brit, who also had to undergo a pair of eye surgeries for a detached retina. But Bisping was not to be denied his place among the elite, and a punishing fourthround TKO of striking specialist Cung Le was just what “The Count” needed to show that he was far from done as a top middleweight contender and 185-pound title threat.

UFC Fight Night – Thales Leites July 18, 2015 | Result: Bisping W5 A submission loss to Luke Rockhold less than three months after the Le bout slowed Bisping’s charge for the title. But he got right back to business with a hard-fought win over CB Dollaway at UFC 186 in April of 2015, and he followed that up with a gritty decision victory over Thales Leites in Scotland in July of last year. That win made it three out of four since the defeat to Kennedy, and if Bisping can vanquish Anderson “The Spider” Silva in his first fight in England since 2010, he will have to be mentioned as a serious contender for the middleweight crown. And no one would deserve it more.
