Fun and games at Norfolk Month of the Military Child event

By MC1 Theodore Green The Flagship Staff

NORFOLK

Military families celebrated the Month of the Military Child with a day of fun in the sun at Capt. Slade Cutter Athletic Park in Norfolk, April 23.

The event is hosted annually by Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Child Development Homes (CDH) to honor the sacrifice and resiliency of area children with parents serving

in America’s armed forces.

One of the event organizers, Regional CDH Education Technician Sarah Walch, said the goal of the event was to provide back to the community and show the CDH’s support for the area’s active duty family members.

“We hold this event during the month of April to be able to express how important military children are to our program,” Walch said.

The CDH trains providers to care for children in their own homes, on or off base. Providers are certified by the DOD, applicable

state licensing agencies, and are currently accrediting with the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC). This type of arrangement offers a home-like, natural

While in the U.S. 6th Fleet, Kearsarge visited the port of Valencia, Spain, where the ship hosted a dinner reception on the flight deck for approximately 120 Spanish distinguished visitors and 100 crew members.

"The Kearsarge and MEU team had a wonderful port visit in Valencia and appreciate the people of this great city for giving us such a warm welcome,” Kearsarge's Commanding Officer Capt. Larry G. Getz said. “The reception held on our flight deck was a great way to strengthen partnership with our Spanish counterparts as we continue to work together to promote peace and stability in Europe and the world.”

In addition, Sailors and Marines took advantage of the opportunity to participate in several community relation events to include participating in a 5K run/walk for Autism Awareness, as well as a visit to the Polytechnic University of Valencia where they were able to interact with the students and faculty.

Sailors and Marines aboard Oak Hill visited Lisbon, Portugal, during a scheduled port visit, where the embarked 26th MEU Marines participated in a tactical exchange with the Portuguese Fuzileiro. The military-tomilitary cooperation was beneficial to strengthening interoperability as allies.

While Kearsarge and Oak Hill were in port, Arlington pulled pierside in Marseille, France, to enjoy some of the French culture the city had to offer. During Arlington's time in port, the crew attended a reception hosted by the Association France Etats-Unis, provided ship tours for the local media, and participated in a community relations project with the Marseille Blue Stars American football team at a sports camp for kids.

NEW TECHNOLOGY IMPROVES NMCP PATIENT EXPERIENCE

By MC2 Terah L. Bryant Naval Medical Center Portsmouth Public Affairs

PORTSMOUTH

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP) is bringing technology to a larger screen to enrich the patient and the patient’s family’s time spent in the hospital.

Beginning earlier this year and continuing for the next few months, NMCP Communications Department has been upgrading bedside televisions on inpatient wards. According to Communications and Networking Manager Diana Delucia, the intent of the upgrade was to make a difference and improve the patient experience.

“These new, interactive televisions will allow patients to watch cable, access the internet, and use the built-in cameras,” Delucia said. “All televisions will be hard wired to the commercial internet to allow for faster service which gives patients the opportunity to share good news, or to be supported during difficult times by

family and friends.”

With the new capabilities available, security for personal information was of the upmost importance.

“Every patient, or user, will be able to create their own login with a four-digit PIN,” NMCP Telecommunications Specialist Bobby Washington said.

When the profile is created, users have full access to the TVs, including watching Netflix, checking their email accounts, and even using Skype, an application that allows free face-to-face video chatting, which is especially important if family members live outside of the Hampton Roads area and cannot make it to the medical center.

“When the patient is done, they can simply log off,” Washington said. “When a new profile is created, the previous one is completely wiped clean.”

When preparing for the upgrade, the communications staff knew what capabilities they desired for the TVs. They chose the interactive TVs due

to a previous experience with a patient that will forever stay with them. A patient, who happened to be a retired chief, was not able to see his son graduate as he was terminally ill at the medical center.

“He was nearing the end of his journey on Earth and was saddened by the fact that he would not see his son graduate from boot camp,” Delucia said.

“His doctor contacted the communications office requesting assistance, and all of us immediately got to work.”

Although this was something the communications staff had never attempted before, the entire team jumped aboard working with NMCP staff and the local television stations at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

The night prior to the event, the team utilized commercial WiFi equipment, reinstalled it in the patient’s room and hospice room, and tested the equipment.

“The next day was like a gift to all involved,” Delucia said. “Dr. Daly ensured the

hospice room was decorated with balloons, ribbons, banners – the works! The galley provided refreshments for the immediate family and communications provided technology.”

Delucia added, “When the patient was wheeled in and set in front of the 50-inch monitor to watch the ceremony, he just cried. He was so very thankful and was able to stay sitting up long enough to watch his son parade by, and then was taken back to bed.”

“The tears flowed from all those involved. A life moment that probably happens all too often around NMCP, but is never shared with the masses,” Delucia said. “It is not often that technical and administrative staffs behind the scenes are able to actively participate in providing care for patients at NMCP, but when we do, it is a blessing and an experience remembered forever.”

CHESAPEAKE

For the fifth year in a row, military service members, both active and reserve, veterans and family members, came together in Dismal Swamp April 23 to commemorate those who survived and died during the 65 mile march of surrendered American and Filipino troops to prison camps that took place on the Bataan Peninsula on the main Philippine island of Luzon during WWII in April 1942.

According to the Chesapeake Bataan Death March Memorial Walk Facebook page, the purpose of this annual event is not only to honor the survivors of those who died in Bataan but all WWII veterans and their families. The goal of the walk

is to educate today’s generation on the sacrifices of those troops who endured that tragedy while fighting for the freedoms we enjoy today.

The event consisted of three walks including 16.6 miles, five miles and one mile.

Bataan Command Master Chief Scott Harville participated in the 5-mile walk this year with his family and shared that he believes it is

important to keep in mind that we can never fully realize the pain our troops experienced during the death march.

“This is my second year at this event,” Harville said.

“Having a mental remembrance of what our Bataan death march survivors, and what everyone else had gone through; it was a humbling experience to just do this walk.”

Andy Mikita, a native of Santa Cruz, California, is the son of Tom Mikita Jr., who was a survivor of the death march.

“I did the one mile walk today,” Mikita said. “I did this walk to honor my father who was a prisoner of war of the Japanese during World War II.” A volunteer for the event, Matthew Schweers, a resident of Chesapeake and member of the SSG Jonathan Kilian

Dozier memorial VFW Post 2894, said that the walk is not only a time for young people and children to spend time with the veterans, but it is also a fundraiser to help the families of veterans and survivors of the Bataan death march. The funds raised the previous year were used to help four veteran families in need and Schweers said that is what this event and the VFW are also about.

“I have been volunteering at this event for the past five years and Bataan has been a great help to us,” Schweers said. “We are more than just a group of guys sitting in a bar telling war stories; we are about outreach and helping veterans and their families when they have a need.”

The walks culminated with a ceremony where guest speakers included City Council member S. Z. “Debbie” Ritter, John “J.C.” Carter of Bataan, and death march survivor and POW honoree Dan Crowley. Crowley survived a 42-month imprisonment by the Japanese and was involved with a number of marches and prison camps.

“Everyday was a day of terror,” Crowley said. “I recall personally being beaten to the ground when my number was called and I didn’t move fast enough.”

Crowley went on to share what the process of being liberated at the end of WWII was like and encouraged everyone listening that they have a duty to read whatever they can about WWII and our country’s history and to educate others, especially our children and young people, so that we will never be in danger of losing our freedoms that many have died protecting.

VIRGINIA BEACH

Jet fighter pilots don’t always get the chance to tell their story. In many ways, besides flying jets and landing on aircraft carriers, much of what they do is a mystery to the general public.

Allison DeMarcus and her crew with the Country Music Television (CMT) show “Southbound” looked to change that when they visited Naval Air Station Oceana to film an episode highlighting military life in Virginia Beach and what it means to be a naval aviator, April 19.

Southbound shoots on location to showcase tourist attractions, hidden treasures, or anything else that makes that area unique.

The first stop was with Strike

Fighter Squadron (VFA) 11, where DeMarcus was greeted and escorted by Lt. Cmdr. Jeff McLean, the squadron’s safety officer. After donning a flight suit and being fitted for flight gear she realized how cumbersome it can be just to get prepared to fly. But it wasn’t until she was put into the cockpit of an F/A-18F where she gained her first indication of how complicated it is to fly.

“It was a very exhilarating experience, and it was fun to pretend to be that cool,” DeMarcus said. “To see what these pilots deal with on a daily basis makes you appreciate it even more.”

Since the complications of flying can never be fully realized until trying it out firsthand, DeMarcus’s next stop was the F/A-18 flight simulator, where she was given a run-through on take-off, pilot-

ing basics and carrier landing. After a mostly successful round of simulated flying, it was time to discover what pilots do when they’re not flying, as the crew headed out to the Naval Auxiliary Landing Field at Fentress to speak with a landing signal officer (LSO).

While there, DeMarcus visited with Lt. Cmdr. Hank Woodward, an instructor pilot with VFA 106. The two spent time grading other pilots as they simulated a captured landing. Captured landings aboard an aircraft carrier require pilots to stick their landing at a specific point.

In a simulated landing, a pilot’s ability to hit this mark is graded. LSOs will talk to the pilots via radio and assist them in touching down at the right spot.

“I was intimidated seeing how precise these pilots have to make their landings and how easy they make it look,” DeMarcus said. “It shows how skilled and professional they are and how good they are at what they do.”

At the end of the day, despite being disappointed that she had to return her flight suit, DeMarcus walked away with a better sense of what it means to be a naval aviator.

“I’ve always respected the military,” DeMarcus said.

“This whole day has been really fun, and we’re grateful to have been a part of it. [Everyone] was so polite, respectful and welcoming.”

The episode is scheduled to run on Memorial Day weekend and July 4. For more about the show, visit www.cmt.com/ shows/cmt-southbound/.

Naval Information Forces hosts Fleet Waterfront Applications Workshop in Norfolk Navy Information Dominance Forces Public Affairs

The purpose of the workshop conducted this week was intended

NORFOLK

Naval Information Forces (NAVIFOR) held a threeday Fleet Waterfront Applications Workshop on Naval Station Norfolk, April 18-20.

Fleet Waterfront Applications Workshops hosted by the NAVIFOR fleet functional area manager (FAM) are intended to provide training and best practices on shipboard network systems and applications.

The workshops are open to all ratings and designators, government civilians and contractors.

These workshops stemmed from information gathered by the NAVIFOR Fleet Applications and Solutions Team (FAST) over a four-year period. According to more than 2,100 surveys completed by shipboard personnel across all ratings, Sailors identified configuring, troubleshooting and maintaining of shipboard systems and applications as their most challenging issues.

“Sometimes the issues are operator related, training related and in some cases the program itself simply has faults,” NAVIFOR Fleet Functional Area Manager John Toomer said. “The purpose of the workshop conducted this week was intended to help the fleet with just-in-time training on these systems.”

The workshops help the participants share their issues

training on these systems.”

with the FAM team who in turn work to empower them with the training, skills and solutions needed to manage and maintain applications and shipboard systems on their own.

“The ultimate goal is to work our way out of these training workshops,” Toomer said. “This would mean that the knowledge of the users is increasing and the issues Sailors are having with these applications are going away.”

Those who attend the workshops come away with valuable knowledge that they can take back to their ships, creating a “train-the-trainer” mentality.

“The workshop is designed to give us an understanding of how the fleet works with the approved applications onboard the ships,” Pre-commissioning Unit Gerald R. Ford’s (CVN 78) Information System Security Manager Ensign Tara Mark said. “I’m looking to take from this a way forward that’s fleetwide and a baseline process that will make it easier for us as a ship to either request applications, to know what appli-

cations are approved, and to know what applications are unauthorized to help us maintain our cybersecurity status and standard.”

The greater the attendance at the workshops, the less the ships will need to contact subject matter experts to help troubleshoot system faults.

“If we can get leadership on ships to allow their Sailors to attend this workshop, I think that would be one way to reach our goals,” Toomer said. “The more we can increase participation and attendance in these workshops, the fewer trouble tickets we will see in the future on many of these systems.”

The fleet functional area manager’s office is designated as N41 under NAVIFOR. NAVIFOR’s mission is to support operational commanders ashore and afloat by providing combat-ready information warfare forces, which are forward deployable, fully trained, properly manned, capably equipped, always ready, well maintained, and combat sustainable.

NECC SAILOR TO PARTICIPATE IN ALL-ARMED FORCES BOWLING COMPETITION

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

VIRGINIA BEACH

A Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) Sailor has been invited to try out for the All-Navy Women's Bowling Team at the All-Armed Forces competition in May. Personnel Specialist 1st Class Ashley Gray, of Maple Heights, Ohio, has been preparing herself to take part in the bowling competition at Travis Air Force Base in California from May 7-14 to earn her spot on the team, which will allow her to compete in the All-Armed Forces tournament.

"Being able to represent my command through All-Navy Sports is so rewarding," Gray said. "I used to tell people that it's not always what you can do for the Navy, but what the Navy can do for you."

Gray added that during her military career the Navy has been able to provide her the opportunity to play sports at a competitive level while still serving her coun-

try. While she is passionate about bowling, she has also participated on the All-Navy Women's Softball Team in 2014.

"It's not even a job when you love what you do," Gray added, who recently participated in a Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story bowling competition on April 13 to bring awareness to the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) active duty fund drive.

"Being able to do something I love and bring awareness to a great cause like NMCRS couldn't get any better," Gray said – she finished in second place during the base-wide competition.

While Gray may have come in second place, she is looking forward to striking multiple "10's" when she tries out for the All-Navy Women's Bowling Team.

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

Month of the Military Child event

Continued from front environment and more flexibility in the hours of operation to accommodate the service member’s work schedule. Some CDH providers even provide care for watchstanders, weekend duty, overnight care, shift-work hours, and more.

“We are here to help educate the families and help children develop,” Walch said. “We are a stable resource for these families as the active-duty service member meets their mission. It’s important for them to see our appreciation and how we truly care for the children and this [event] is our way of being able to say thank you.”

Children were treated to bounce houses, a treasure hunt, face painting, rock wall climbing and games, as well as performances by the Platinum Dance Arts dancers of Chesapeake, a visit from local dentist Dr. Anthony A. Elgohary and representatives from the Norfolk Police Department and the Naval Station Norfolk Fire Department.

Mary Green, a Navy spouse and mother of two, expressed her appreciation for the CDH and all the event’s volunteers.

“We’ve had so much fun,” Green exclaimed. “There was so much for my 3-year-old to do; he was

non-stop the entire time. He got a little overwhelmed when he won a brand new bike in the raffle!

“I think it’s fantastic that they’ve done this for us. Being in a military family isn’t always easy, but events like this make sure that the kids are having fun.

We’re definitely looking forward to more,” Green said.

“I was a military child while my father was on active duty,” Walch shared. “I remember my mother explaining to me why my dad couldn’t make certain dance performances or school meetings, so it hits close to home for me to be able to connect with these children on a personal level and even a social emotional level. I feel that I am able to help these children de-

velop even more since I know what they’re going through. “ The Navy Commissary and Exchange donated food and prizes for the day’s festivities. Dozens of Sailors and child development home providers volunteered their time to serve food and facilitate entertainment for the event.

“Our volunteers and special events team really made this event possible,” Walch said. “Without them our event wouldn’t have been as great as it was.”

Aviation Ordinanceman Airmen Natalia Corral and Heather Rockholt from Pre-commissioning Unit Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) spent the day painting faces and sharing smiles.

“It’s really fun because you help the kids and they’re really happy – it’s great,” Corral said. “I painted a bunch of little kids faces and they all wanted funny dog faces, so I tried my best and they were really happy, so that’s all that matters.”

“I really enjoyed this,” Rockholt said. “It’s been so much fun hanging out with little kids from the community.”

tional. After observing the underway process and going on sponsorguided tours, guests gathered on the flight deck for an air power demonstration performed by CVW-3.

Friends and family members observed the aircraft landing pattern, touch-and-go landings, arrested landings, catapult launches and a supersonic flyby.

“It was amazing to see the aircraft up close and in action,” Karen Jarish said, who is the mother of an Eisenhower Sailor. “Normally you can only see this kind of stuff on television.”

Some guests said they were impressed by Eisenhower’s size and it reminded them of a small city.

“It’s like a floating labyrinth,” Kayla Cook said. “It’s crazy to see how huge the ship is up close and how many people can fit on it.”

Eisenhower’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation also provided family-friendly games and activities in the hangar bay for the cruise.

“We catered lunch as well as basketball, bingo, a bounce pit, live music, a rock climbing wall, a caricature artist [and] balloon animals,”

Eisenhower’s Fun Boss Thomas Cocke. “So many people came together to organize this event and its great seeing how the families are enjoying getting to see their Sailors.”

Megan Moore, cousin of an Eisenhower Sailor, said she learned about what it’s like to be a Sailor during the cruise.

“It’s really cool to see where everyone works and I was really excited to see what my cousin does when they are underway,” Moore said.

Electrician’s Mate Fireman Mike Conway Jr., invited his wife, father and mother aboard to share in his Navy experience.

“Family fun day is a great opportunity to show my family the best of the Ike,” Conway said.

As the event came to an end friends and families not only got to see what their loved ones do on a daily basis, but also left knowing the Sailors were ready for deployment.

“It’s a celebration,” Cocke said.

“Now that we’ve finished all the tests and trials and exams of the last couple months we finally have an opportunity to show everyone the end result of what we’ve been working towards and say ‘Hey! We’re fully ready to go on deployment.’”

Youth Health and Fitness Fair held at Bethesda

By Seaman William Phillips Naval Support Activity Bethesda Public Affairs

BETHESDA, MD.

In recognition of Month of the Military Child, Naval Support Activity (NSA) Bethesda is holding several events for military children and their families.

NSA Bethesda’s Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) held their 5th annual Youth Health and Fitness Fair, April 16.

“We have a health and fitness fair with 23 vendors ranging from the Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic to NSAB crime prevention,” FFSC Life Skills Educator Carren Francis said.

The Youth Health and Fitness Fair was also a way for parents to get information while their children had fun.

“It is an informational fair,” Francis said. “The parents get to go around and get information from the vendors, and the kids will do an activity at each table. The kids will then get their passports stamped once they completed their activity and they will turn them in for a prize at the end of the fair.”

Francis said at the end of the fair, FFSC raffled off prizes like fitness gifts bags and bikes.

“We just want to honor some of the sacrifices that our families are making as the parents are serving in the military,” FFSC New Parent Support Nurse Ursula Rocha said.

FFSC thought it was important to put an emphasis on the health of the service member’s family.

“Being a military treatment facility, we thought it was very important to focus on the health of our families since that’s what we primarily do here at NSA Bethesda,” Rocha said. “We thought focusing on their health and building resiliency among our families was really important.”

There are many benefits offered to service members, and sometimes it can be difficult to keep up with all of them.

“We just really encourage our families to come to these events to learn what services are available to them,” Rocha said. “Sometimes there are so many things available that it’s very hard to keep track of all the options they have available to them.”

Printing capabilities have been around for a long time. Pictures and documents can be produced in record time. If it’s on the screen, it can be printed in hard copy.

That’s not particularly incredible. What is incredible is now Sailors have access to 3D printers and computer numerical controlled (CNC) mills, which allows them to create things they never thought possible.

TIDEWATER OFFICERS’ SPOUSES’ ASSOCIATION HOLDS LUNCHEON

By FC3 Kathleen R. Hinson Naval Station Norfolk Public Affairs

NORFOLK

Tidewater Officers’ Spouses’ Association (TOSA) held a luncheon at Vista Point on Naval Station Norfolk, April 19. More than 90 women with military affiliation, including spouses from Fort Eustis and Langley Air Force Base, attended the event.

During the social hour, guests had the opportunity to purchase items from the Tidewater Collection, the non-profit boutique in Ely Hall which raises funds for military family related charities. This year, Tidewater Collection raised $25,500 and the Tidewater Military Family Services Council entrusted TOSA to select recipients for an additional $12,000, totaling a record breaking $37,500. TOSA will be presenting recipients with the funds on May 3 at Ely Hall at 10 a.m.

Following the social hour, TOSA President Jennifer Weech provided welcome remarks followed by an invocation by an invocation by TOSA Vice President Deborah Kail-Lee. Keynote speaker, Mrs. Pamela Northam, wife of Virginia’s lieutenant governor Ralph Northam, then addressed the group and spoke from experience of the sacrifices military spouses make.

“I kissed him goodbye not knowing when I will see him again. There I was alone, in a foreign country with a toddler and one on the way,” Northam said. “But I wouldn’t change those experiences for anything. Ultimately it made me stronger as a mother and a wife.”

Following her opening address, Northam gave a presentation stressing the need for environmental awareness related to the Chesapeake Bay. “We need to take an active role in our community by cleaning up marine debris or trash

in the bay,” Northam said. “More and more trash is found washing up on our shores rather than seashells and seaweed. Together we can clean up the beautiful Chesapeake Bay and make it clean once more.”

Following Northam’s speech, Weech presented gifts and spoke about the tradition of the “passing of the bowl.”

“The passing of the bowl has become a symbol of our joint bond and has been passed down from service to service,” Weech said. “It holds the sacrifices and contributions of all the spouses of the armed forces.”

Weech presented the bowl to Fort Eustis Spouses’ Club, who will be the host of next year’s Joint Service Luncheon. They will, in turn, pass it to Langley’s Officers’ Spouses’ Club.

In closing, the women each took turns singing the service songs of their respective branches.

Parenthood is full of surprises. Just when you expect a complete meltdown, your resilient military kids shock you by going with the flow. Moving can put the whole house on an emotional rollercoaster. So, here are a few tips that might make your next move a smooth one for your kids – and you: ■ Tell your kids about the move as soon as possible. Give your kids plenty of time to adjust to the idea of moving and say goodbye to all their friends.

■ Give your kids space and answers.

They may also have a lot of questions, so listen patiently and answer as best you can. Help your kids research their new school, nearby parks and base activities. The adjustment – for you and your kids – will take time.

■ Give your kids a task. Depending on the age of your kids, there are many ways to help. Older youth might be able to help plan portions of the move, such as searching for new houses online or researching fun things to do on the new installation. Younger kids can help by packing their own "first day box."

■ Reassure your kids. Let them know they'll have a new home address, but the important things in life – like how much you love each other – won't change.

Your kids take their cues from you. Stay positive and make the move fun to help them feel involved and excited.

■ Enjoy your kids' favorite things and places. Before you go, make a point to visit the park, the frozen yogurt shop or another favorite place. You might take something from one of those places to the new house and encourage your child to find a new favorite spot.

Moving is part of military life. It has its challenges, like anything else, but it doesn't have to lead to meltdowns and silent treatment. Plan ahead as much as possible and know: The more you talk about your new home ahead of time, the easier the relocation will be for your kids – and you.

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

How military children can prepare for switching schools Military OneSource

It’s not easy being the new kid and it can be hard to leave your old school and friends. However, before too long, you’ll have new friends and you’ll wonder why you ever worried about switching schools in the first place. The key is just to jump right in and find out what’s waiting for you. Here are some things to do before the first day of school: ■ Become a research sponge. The more you know, the less anxious you’ll feel. Check out the new school’s website to figure out how it compares to your old school and what features you can look forward to.

■ Call ahead. Have a parent call the guidance counselor to see if there’s anything specific you need to do to get ready. They can ask for details on certain classes, after-school programs and clubs you may be interested in.

■ Check in with the youth center. If you’re worried about meeting new people, this is the perfect solution. You can have the youth director at your current installation get in touch with the program at your new installation to set up sponsorship before you move. Youth center staff can also connect you to someone your age who goes to your new school. Then you can ask

the questions you really want answered – like who the best teachers are and how often the cafeteria serves pizza.

■ Get your papers in order. Your current school’s guidance counselor and your parents can help you with this. Your parents need to request an official transcript be sent to your new school.

Ask for an unofficial transcript printout for your own records. Your parents can help you organize the other important papers you’ll need to bring to school – like your health records and test scores.

■ Find your place. Getting comfortable in your new school is all about finding your place in your new school community. Get involved right away in the activities that interest you.

Maybe you want to try something you’ve never tried before. That’s a great thing about switching schools – it’s the perfect time to try something new.

■ Meet your neighbors. This is especially helpful advice if you’re moving in the summer before school starts. Hang out with the other kids in your neighborhood or on your installation, so you’ll have a built-in network of friends when school starts.

Just remember: a positive attitude goes a long way – and you can never go wrong by simply being yourself.

NAVCENT LIBERTY POLICY MANAGES RISKS, REWARDS

greenNavy

Installation environmental division talks trash during Earth Day observance

By Melinda Larson Naval Support Activity Monterey Public Affairs

MONTEREY, CALIF.

By MC1 Chris Thien U.S. Naval Forces Central Command Public Affairs

MANAMA, BAHRAIN

U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT) released a revision to its theaterwide liberty policy April 12 emphasizing comprehensive assessments of all service members behaviors – on and off duty – prior to granting liberty in order to prevent adverse incidents.

The revision of the NAVCENT Operation Order regarding liberty directs units to be familiar with the past conduct of their personnel to effectively identify those likely to be involved in off duty incidents and to implement proactive liberty risk measures where appropriate to prevent misconduct from occurring.

The revision covers those deployed or on temporary duty to the region as well as those permanently assigned.

“We believe it’s critical for commands to understand the habits of their service members

before placing them on liberty in this area of operations,” NAVCENT and U.S. 5th Fleet Command Master Chief Scott Fleming said. “The only way to do that is by taking a hard look at the previous performance of each person, not just off duty but on duty as well. If a Sailor repeatedly shows up for work late or can’t follow uniform standards or is in continuous conflict with shipmates, there’s a good chance that same Sailor will have a hard time following rules or maintaining composure while on liberty.”

Fleming highlighted programs available to manage risk and to reward individuals whose professional and personal performance warrants greater liberty benefits.

“The liberty risk program can be used both preemptively and reactively, but beyond that commands should consider utilizing phased liberty privileges that increase gradually as individuals prove they are mature, understand the rules, and be counted on to act appropri-

ately,” Fleming said. “Similar programs have had success in other areas; they give people a chance to become familiar with the environment and compel them to demonstrate a certain level of responsibility if they want expanded privileges.”

The liberty policy revision also adds additional guidance to the roles and responsibilities of liberty buddies.

“Liberty buddies are more than a token check in the block,” Fleming said. “They are charged with really looking out for those in their liberty party and stepping in decisively to stop improper conduct or to prevent shipmates from getting hurt. We expect liberty buddies to be aware of what the role actually means, and to understand that they can ultimately be held accountable if they fail to act in accordance with the guidance.

No one is better positioned to put the brakes on destructive behavior than liberty buddies – they simply need the fortitude and character to do so.”

trend prompted the revision, the liberty policy is indicative of NAVCENT’s strategic environment and the critical importance of serving as role models for conduct and respect at all times.

“We want service members to enjoy their time off and to enjoy the unique cultural opportunities in this region,” Fleming said. “I’m proud to say the vast majority of service members are fantastic ambassadors; they represent their commands and our country in exactly the manner we strive to achieve.

However one individual or one incident can truly jeopardize our mission and our credibility. It’s imperative then that we meet the standard as individuals and that we apply measures as a team to prevent an unfortunate moment in time from having a permanent impact on our reputation as gracious guests.”

Tons of paper, plastics, glass, metal, and simple trash moved from Naval Support Activity (NSA) Monterey into the waste stream in 2015 at a cost of about $170,000 in disposal fees, according to the environmental division of Public Works.

Educating the public about what can be recycled was a key message during Earth Day displays April 19 in front of the Dudley Knox Library.

“We have to be proactive and continue our efforts to educate everyone on what’s trash and what can be recycled,” Natural Resources Specialist Todd Wills said. “Small measures can make a big difference in what enters the waste stream.”

The Morale, Welfare and Recreation department’s Community Activities Coordinator said she tries to make a big difference during the course of her work week and every day activities.

“I try to be mindful of which container to use when I discard trash. I often remind my family and co-workers to use the correct trash or recycle container,” Lindsey Carver said when she stopped by the recycling display.

Water conservation tips and sustainability information were also presented during the four hour event with representatives from the City of Monterey Sustainability Office, the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, and California American Water.

Recycling and trash containers are located throughout the installation. All hands are asked to pause for a moment when disposing of soda cans and other recyclable items.

“Getting the right material in the right can save money and other resources that can be better put to use in Navy ships and planes,” Installation Environmental Program Director Vicki Taber said.

Divers highlight interoperability in ďŹ nding, neutralizing mines

By Lt. Alex Cornell du Houx U.S. Naval Forces Central Command Public Affairs

KUWAIT

Divers from ďŹ ve nations are training together to identify and neutralize mines and other threats in order to ensure the waterways in the Middle East remain safe for commercial shipping.

Explosive ordnance disposal teams from Kuwait, France, the Netherlands, Germany, and the U.S. are conducting a series of drills to address some of the biggest notional threats to maritime commerce as part of the International Mine Countermeasures Exercise (IMCMEX).

IMCMEX includes navies from more than 30 countries spanning six continents training together across the Middle East. The exercise is focused on maritime security – from mine countermeasures, maritime infrastructure protection, and maritime security operations – in support of civilian shipping and freedom of navigation.

German navy Cmdr. Mario Fink, from Kiel, Germany, who is commanding the IMCMEX task force in Kuwait, said, “IMCMEX brings together a different variety of coalition partners. Working together to know the ability of the different nations and to be familiar with circumstances of this very important area is an important goal of IMCMEX.�

Commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command Vice Adm. Kevin Donegan visited the operations April 14 and toured with Commander of Kuwait’s Naval

Forces Maj. Gen. Khaled Abdullah. “This exercise is about enhancing cooperation, maritime capabilities and interoperability between international partners,�

Donegan said. “This exercise provides an opportunity for us to build proďŹ ciency and test the latest technology available for ensuring the global maritime commons stay open and secure.â€?

Kuwaiti dive teams are conducting training with U.S. and partner nations throughout IMCMEX to include medical and harbor security operations.

French navy Lt. Cmdr. Patrick Bontemps, from Lyon, France, led a vehicleborn improvised explosive device engagement and neutralization, highlighting the importance of training together. “We participate in IMCEX to improve our training level in different contexts so that when there are dangers we are used to facing them,� Bontemps said. “We are also here to improve interoperability between nations.� “It’s the big picture – the navy is here to protect our merchant shipping,� Dutch navy Lt. Cmdr. Lodewijk de Waard from Rhenen, Netherlands, who led the demonstrations for Donegan and Abdullah, said. “If our merchant shipping is threatened we have to protect them. If it deals with mines or improvised mines, it is a job for our unit in the Netherlands and the international community. We do a lot of trade with the countries out here – it is important for us to be ready to deploy with a united response.�

IMCMEX will continue through April 26.

Navy commands worldwide are observing Earth Day in April through events and activities that demonstrate good environmental stewardship among Sailors and civilian personnel.

Events range from tree plantings to shoreline and neighborhood base cleanups, nature tours, school presentations and recycling challenges. In many locations, Earth Day also provides an opportunity for the Navy to engage with local communities.

The Navy’s 2016 theme, “Creating Resiliency Aoat and Ashore,â€? makes the point that protecting the environment and using energy wisely helps us perform our mission more effectively. As examples, looking out for marine life and responsibly handling waste materials aboard ships, funding research to better understand whale physiology and habitat; and conducting environmental planning for our training and testing activities can help minimize our impact on the planet and maintain trust with regulatory agencies and the public.

Energy efforts such as optimizing fuel use in ships, aircraft and tactical vehicles; integrating renewable energy sources such as solar arrays at our installations; and improving the efďŹ ciency of our buildings improve our resiliency as well.

Operational platforms can then travel farther and get more mission capability from each gallon of fuel and shore facilities improve their ability to continue key functions

when the commercial power grid goes down. “For the Navy, Earth Day isn’t simply a one day event,� Director of the chief of naval operations Energy and Environmental Readiness Division Rear Adm. Doug Morton said. “Our stewardship of the environment is a full time commitment. Our total force demonstrates this everyday on every ship and at each installation.�

Among the Earth Day-related events in which the Navy will participate for 2016 are a groundbreaking ceremony for a solar panel facility at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Mid-South; on April 16, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam participated in the Ahua Reef cleanup and held other base and shoreline cleanups throughout the month; on April 22 Naval Station Everett will host a dumpster dive; and Fleet Activities Yokosuka will hold an Earth Day informational fair and tree planting activity.

The Pentagon will host an Earth Day speaker panel April 26 entitled, “Four DOD Perspectives on Climate Change,� featuring senior leaders from each service branch.

Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations, and Environment Dennis McGinn will represent the Department of the Navy on the panel.

Navy accepting STA-21 applications Naval Service Training Command Public Affairs GREAT LAKES

The Seaman to Admiral-21 (STA-21) commissioning program, which provides an opportunity for qualified Sailors to receive college educations and Navy commissions, is soliciting applications for fiscal year 2017 – announced in NAVADMIN 078/16 March 29.

The deadline for submitting application packages is July 1.

Naval Service Training Command’s (NSTC) Officer Development (OD) directorate head of Naval Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (NROTC) program selection and placement, and STA-21, Cathy Kempf said, “STA-21 is a full-time, undergraduate education and commissioning program open to enlisted personnel of all pay grades and ratings to receive a top-notch college education and become commissioned officers.”

According to NSTC’s OD Program Deputy Director Mark Gough, the STA-21 program is one of the best officer commissioning programs the Navy has to offer.

“STA-21 pays up to $10,000 per year for college costs such as tuition, books and fees,” Gough said. “All the while, Sailors draw their full pay and allowances for their current pay grade. Under the STA-21 program, Sailors have 36 months, including summer semesters, to complete their bachelor’s degree requirements.”

All STA-21 officer candidates attend the Naval Science Institute (NSI) course at Officer Training Command at Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island, prior to beginning college studies at an NROTC affiliated college or university.

NSI is an eight-week course of intense officer preparation and indoctrination. Course enrollment is timed to allow college entrance during summer or fall semesters after selection.

The STA-21 program benefits Sailors as well as the Navy. The average candidate has at least two years – and in most cases more than four years – of observed performance, which assists in the process of selecting the most qualified Sailors to receive a commission.

In addition, STA-21 candidates are on average older than most midshipmen, bringing a maturity directly reflected in the more than 90 percent completion rate STA-21 program candidates boast, and many Sailors involved in the STA-21 program already have some college credit and some candidates finish ahead of the three years allotted to earn a degree.

All of these factors – proven performance for better selection, maturity for higher completion rates, and previous college credit – save the Navy money while producing top-quality experienced naval officers.

According to NAVADMIN 078/16, the following target options and core are open for application for the fiscal year 2017 selection board: surface warfare officer (SWO), SWO/ED, nuclear (surface/submarine), special warfare, explosive ordnance disposal, naval flight officer, pilot, Civil Engineering Corps, Nurse Corps, and oceanography officer (OCEANO).

The following target options have zero select opportunity for fiscal year 2017: Human Resources, intelligence, information warfare, information professional, Medical Corps, Supply Corps, surface warfare officer/information professional, and SWO/ OCEANO. The nuclear (surface/submarine) target option is now open to Sailors who are serving in the fleet and hold an active nuclear Navy enlisted classification (335X, 336X, 338X, or 339X). This option is a change to the previous year’s eligibility policy.

Sailors who are serving as a staff member or student in the Navy Nuclear Power Training pipeline are also eligible, as they have been in previous years.

All applicants must be able to begin their first day of class in the first semester of their course work prior to commencing their eighth year of service.

See the Nuclear Program Authorization (PA150A) dated December 2015 for more specific information and all other requirements to apply for the program.

Additionally, all applicants must receive conditional release, per reference (b) of NAVADMIN 078/16, from the Nuclear Enlisted Community Manager (OPNAV N133D).

In the STA-21 program, as it is in many competitive selection processes, it is often a candidate’s extra efforts which can result in selection.

“Do your best in all your endeavors, college courses, and have superior performances on your physical fitness assessments (PFA). With so many great Sailors to choose from, selection boards often look for the tie breakers or the indicators of extra effort, potential and desire; in this regard the STA-21 program is no exception,” Kempf said. “As always, performance is the number one criteria. When given the chance to lead, take it. No matter how small the opportunity, step up and lead people, and lead them well. Also attend to your physical – as well as your professional – preparedness.”

Reporting seniors who feel they have a Sailor with the potential to be selected by STA-21 should comment on their leadership skills and potential in their performance evaluations early in their career. These comments are highly regarded by the boards, even in junior Sailors.

Kempf reminded all Sailors that are applying for STA-21 to have an endorsing letter from their commanding officers and to include their Scholastic Aptitude Test/American College Test (SAT/ACT) scores in their packages.

This year’s NAVADMIN includes numbers from

last year. It states of the 423 applications received for fiscal year 2016, only 315 were board eligible. A total of 50 were selected to participate in the fiscal year 2016 STA-21 program. Each year, packages are not considered due to non-qualifying SAT/ACT test scores, missing commanding officer endorsement or recommendation, recent non-judicial punishment, missing PFA cycles, missing or illegible submission of documents, and not meeting program age or PFA requirements.

NAVADMIN 078/16 also states minimum eligibility requirements must be met before submitting an application. Applications should be mailed only when fully completed.

Officer interview boards shall consist of three officers; the applicant’s commanding officer may not be a board member and should not submit an interview appraisal sheet. The commanding officer’s personal interview should be conducted only after the application is complete and the officer interview board has submitted their appraisals. The full picture of an applicant’s academic and officer potential can only be determined by reviewing the SAT/ACT scores, high school and college transcripts, and a completed application package.

Kempf echoed the NAVADMIN and said the commanding officer’s endorsement is extremely important, especially the ranking of the individual among his or her peers. The endorsement should contain specifics about the individual’s academic potential, commitment, leadership, service above self, and potential as a naval officer. Commanding officer comments should specify the primary option to which the individual is applying and address how the individual meets qualifications for that option. For junior Sailors with only schoolhouse evaluations, the commanding officer must address this issue in his or her endorsement.

Application packages must be postmarked on or before the July 1 deadline date. The deadline for submission of additional documentation to an applicant’s package is August 1.

Questions concerning this program should be directed to command career counselors or to the NSTC officer development directorate at 850-452-9563.

Commander of NSTC Rear Adm. Stephen C. Evans and his staff oversees the OD directorate and 98 percent of initial officer and enlisted accessions training for the Navy, as well as the Navy’s Citizenship Development program. NSTC includes Recruit Training Command, the Navy’s only boot camp at Naval Station Great Lakes; NROTC at more than 160 colleges and universities; OTC at Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island; Navy Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (NJROTC); and Navy National Defense Cadet Corps (NNDCC) citizenship development programs at more than 600 high schools worldwide.

NREURAFSWA WORKS TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION

By Lt. Adam Yarochowicz Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia Public Affairs

NAPLES, ITALY

Navy Region Europe, Africa, and Southwest Asia (NREURAFSWA) and Naval Facilities Command Europe, Africa, and Southwest Asia (NAVFAC EURAFSWA) are working together to reduce the energy usage and carbon footprint of all installations throughout the region.

Increased focus and effort has been put toward these efforts in response to Executive Order 13423 signed in 2007 by President George W. Bush, ordering a reduction of energy usage of 30 percent over 10 years.

The region was on track with 28 percent energy reduction as of 2015. This order was wrapped up in Executive Order 13693 signed by President Barak Obama in March 2015, establishing continued focus on reduction of energy usage in all federal agencies, requiring 25 percent of all energy provided by renewable sources by 2025.

All installations throughout the region have completed comprehensive installation of sound and motion sensors in all buildings in order to reduce energy consumption whenever any of the facilities are not in use. These sensors are installed in ofďŹ ces and bathrooms to parking garages and gym facilities.

Electric vehicles are also used extensively throughout several installations with 66 vehicles currently being used by base personnel and maintenance crews.

Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples, Italy; Naval Support Facility (NSF) Deveselu, Romania; and NSA Souda Bay, Greece, have installed several solar panels throughout their installations. NSA Souda Bay has built seven solar carports

capable of storing 200 kilowatts while producing 275 megawatts per year equivalent to the power used by 27 U.S. homes per year. NSA Naples has installed panels on several buildings with a capacity of 300 kilowatts while generating 390 megawatt-hours per year. That is the equivalent energy usage of 39 U.S. homes for one year.

Naval Air Station (NAS) Sigonella, Italy, followed by the rest of CNREURAFSWA, replaced street lighting and high density light ďŹ xtures with light emitting diodes (LEDs). Usage of the LED lamps reduces maintenance and replacement costs, upgrading from 20,000 to 50,000 hours of use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conventional lights are replaced with LEDs for several reasons. LEDs are more efďŹ cient, to produce 800 lumens of light, an incandescent bulb consumes 60 watts, a CFL [compact ďŹ&#x201A;uorescent] 13 to 15 watts, and an LED only six to eight watts,â&#x20AC;?

NAVFAC EURAFSWA Regional Energy Manager Daniel Lougen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;LEDs produce virtually no heat, requiring less safety protective accessories. LEDs last six times longer than CFLs and over 30 times longer than incandescent bulbs.â&#x20AC;?

As part of this effort there is an ongoing project to replace interior lighting across the region with LED lighting, increasing lifetime and reducing energy consumption. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the initial cost of an LED can be ďŹ ve times, or more, greater than that of a CFL, in the long run it is a prudent energy saving investment,â&#x20AC;? Lougen said.

In ďŹ scal year 2015 alone, NAS Sigonella has seen a savings of $2 million.

NSA Bahrain supports several U.S. and coalition ships every year.

Part of the support provided is removal of hazardous waste, including oily waste. With a concentrated

effort, Bahrain has increased efďŹ ciency and reduced costs in dealing with the waste. From 2010-2012, Bahrain supported 210 ships, offloading 19,000 barrels of hazardous waste, reducing cost of disposal by more than $6 million.

Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti (CLDJ) is situated in a harsh climate and with that comes high use of air conditioning units throughout the entire installation. In an effort to reduce energy consumption, 900 air conditioners were replaced, reducing usage from 24,000 BTUs to 9,000 BTUs. This move alone increased the energy efďŹ ciency ratio, amount of energy used versus created, from

nine to more than 12. Also, by restructuring the power grid on base, CLDJ was able to remove 72 tactical generators and parallel the two on base power plants to reduce redundant spinning, decreasing the necessary excess by approximately half.

NREURAFSWA and NAVFAC EURAFSWA currently funds Energy Savings Performance Contracts at all installations throughout the region.

These contracts, in-step with the region Energy and Resource Reduction Plan, continuously investigates alternative options in areas like power generation, lighting, heating, cooling, and building constructions.

While new installations, like NSF

Deveselu, are being built to current energy standards these programs will work to bring all the older installations into compliance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our biggest energy savings will come from behavior changes,â&#x20AC;? NAVFAC EURAFSWA Public Affairs OfďŹ cer Cam Betz said.

In order to support behavior changes, each base has an installation energy manager as part of the Public Works Department to monitor power uses and affect changes to costly behaviors and patterns.

Campaign says remain vigilant, not complacent

Continued from B1 As one of NH Bremerton’s sexual assault prevention and response (SAPR) victim advocates, Neff assisted in manning the command’s SAAPM informational table by the Terrace Dining Facility during peak lunch time. As people passed the static display, Neff and other victim advocates took turns conversing with them on their awareness of sexual assault uncomfortable realities and getting them to involved by signing the “We Have the Watch” petition poster to show support by being an active bystander for the stated mission goal of the victim advocates to eradicate sexual assault from the community.

“Doing this is one of the reasons why I became a victim advocate,” Neff said. “I want to not only support any victim in need, but also get the word out to help eliminate sexual assault. A big part of what I do as a corpsman is helping others and being a victim advocate is something that is very personal for me in being able to do just that.”

For Hospitalman Emily Clement, manning the information table

DIVERS

was the same as volunteering to become a victim advocate; it was an automatic decision.

“I like to help others, especially those in time of need and why I’m a hospital corpsman,” Clement said.

“That’s what I do. By being here as a visual reminder and by reminding everyone who comes by that sexual assault awareness and prevention is not just during the month of April, we’re helping to make a difference.

“Monday, April 18, marked a year as a victim advocate and being a victim advocate is very personal for me,” Clement added.

Victim advocates such as Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Nathan Cole, NH Bremerton’s lead victim advocate, are specially trained to assist victims in finding their own route to recovery by advising them on such procedures as reporting options and various resources.

For Cole, handling the role as a victim advocate is a duty that he has continued since being assigned to NH Rota Spain.

“I had a friend who was sexually assaulted,” Cole said. “I wanted to help then and still want to help out my peers and Sailors. I want them

to know that we’re here for them as victim advocates. We hope of course that we never have to be, but ‘blue-on-blue’ remains a problem and hopefully by continuing to stress the awareness with campaigns like SAAPM, we’re helping to eliminate the crime.”

According to Cole, there is a lot of awareness at NH Bremerton, but what the monthlong campaign really does is help to remind everyone to remain vigilant and not complacent.

“Some have that ‘out-of-sight, out-of-mind’ thinking when it comes to something like this, which is why being here is important.

Plus, it lets others know that we’re here to help in any way if someone has a problem. They don’t have to hold it in. They have someone to turn to,” Cole said.

Neff, Cole, Clement and 14 others make up the NH Bremerton victim advocate roster, all of them volunteers to help listen, guide and console a sexual assault victim.

The other victim advocates are Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Gretchen Albrecht, Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Andrea Arenas, Personnel Specialist 2nd

Class Brittany Burke, Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Michael Burriss, Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Oswald Cacatian, Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Matthew Duckworth, Hospitalman Franklin Holder, Logistics Specialist Seaman Emily Jaske, Hospitalman Danyaal Khan, Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Clifton Lee, Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class James Louck, Chief Personnel Specialist Dawn Molinero, Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Zulema Sotelo, and Master-at-Arms 3rd Class Brandon Williams.

“There are not a lot of people who can do what our victim advocates do, and without them our program could not provide the needed support,” SAPR program coordinator Lt. Angela Sadosky said.

Along with the command’s victim advocates taking on a proactive, visible role in the SAAPM campaign, NH Bremerton has also shared a host of other awareness events throughout the month.

| DBROV has variety of benefits

Continued from B1 as a ROV, a diver propulsion vehicle (DPV), an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), or any combination of the three.

Lee Cofer, NSWC PCD electronics engineer and Dive Buddy project lead, says the DBROV has a variety of beneficial aspects which will significantly improve efficiency and effectiveness of the diver’s assignments.

“I believe all Navy diving will benefit from the Dive Buddy, in particular, expeditionary diving,” Cofer said.

Cofer said the Dive Buddy was created to fulfill the need for a fly-away, agile base unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) platform with autonomous capabilities that is scalable and adaptable to the diver’s needs. Also, there is a need for a platform to have the ability to be outfitted with equipment and sensors that divers need for their specific mission at hand.

The DBROV is able to carry backup life-support systems, tools, items of interest, perform dive site reconnaissance and tagging, navigate and transport the diver to dive sites, perform small area searches and provide forward looking sonar information and voice/video/data communications to the surface.

During the process of developing the DBROV, the team of Navy scientists and engineers met with divers and individuals in the Navy diving community to get their input about what functions they need in a system.

Cofer refers to the need for such an unmanned system capability as three-pronged.

“The first need is for a system that can aid in decision support by pro-

viding dive supervisors and their teams with real time sensor feeds providing information on critical aspects of their underwater mission,” Cofer said. “The final is the human and machine teaming aspect that multiplies the diver’s effectiveness.”

Cofer added that while the diver is the most critical and capable component in a dive mission, some tasks that are simple and/or repetitive can be assisted by or offloaded to an unmanned system. By doing this, there is better utilization of the limited bottom time of the diver for the more complex tasks that require greater agility.

The DBROV will not only increase diver safety, but it provides decision support through harvesting a greater situational awareness and command and control for dive supervisors. Command and control is part of a three-tier technology pillar for initial response diving, which also includes thermal management and decompression support. According to Cofer, it is beneficial for the fleet to use this system.

“Navy capability for subsea human intervention that is rapid, low cost, and safe is extremely limited yet critical for all domain access, maritime security, power projection and sea control missions. Divers are necessary for these missions until the situational awareness, adaptability, agility and dexterity of a diver is duplicated in machines, likely decades from now.

Meanwhile, unmanned systems are needed to sustain the Navy’s undersea asymmetric advantage,” Cofer said.

“Addressing these operations by teaming divers with a specialized UUV has potential to safely achieve greater capability while addressing numerous

documented mission needs.”

Examples of missions the DBROV would be useful include disabled submarine escape assessment or assistance and recovery of classified debris before they are reached by hostile forces.

In closing, Cofer stressed the significance of the Dive Buddy development, but explained it is not a replacement for human interaction.

“DBROV is not a replacement for a diver, but a tool in their tool belt,” Cofer said. “The DBROV/diver relationship is an example of human and machine symbiosis.”

All manufacturing of the Dive Buddy is completed in-house at NSWC PCD. Along with benefitting the fleet, this project was used as an innovative mentorship tool to allow seasoned scientists and engineers to foster learning with the up and coming workforce.

The DBROV efforts are part of the Navy Innovative Science and Engineering (NISE) program, a sub effort of the Office of Naval Research’s (ONR) N-STAR program. The program was established to seek, build and maintain a robust science and technology (S&T) workforce within the Naval Research Enterprise. The program consists of a broad consortium of naval warfare S&T elements throughout the Department of Navy.

After developing the DBROV project for over three years thus far, Cofer and his team briefed attendees about DBROV at the NISE/219 demonstration at the Pentagon April 21. In addition, Water testing is scheduled to begin during the summer of 2016 with a demonstration by the end of this fiscal year.

FAB LAB

exercises, involvement in Naval Base Kitsap’s Victim Advocate Appreciation ceremony held April 11, and SAAPM Challenge event on April 29, a daylong affair effort designed to bring awareness and understanding to sexual assault interveners, victims and survivors through a variety of venues.

Sadosky noted that if and when called upon, victim advocates like Neff and Olson are not there to judge. They are there to help and provide support for someone through the entire process. All receive comprehensive training to immediately provide front-line, deckplate prevention, response, and accountability for the safety, dignity, and well-being of Sailors and Marines.

In a posted Navy Medicine message, Navy Surgeon General Vice Adm. Forrest Faison shared, “We must recognize our role and help our shipmates and colleagues. Know your part in sexual assault prevention: know when and where to intervene. Take action, and when necessary, get others to help. Become an active bystander and do your part in preventing sexual assault.”

| Cutting-edge

technology for the Navy Continued from B1 ing has a unique experience. A Culinary Specialist could use the 3D printing capability to create food molds, while other Sailors who needed a very specific tool, now have the capability to actually design that tool and print or cut a prototype or even a functional unit.

The Fab Lab allows Sailors and innovation to gloriously merge together. This is where the concept of one team, one fight lives. The best part is that anybody can do it no matter what rate they are.

“We’re a family, we don’t see rates and we come together,” Culinary Specialist 2nd Class Kirstene Edwards said. “If someone’s stuck on something, we come together to fix it as a group collectively.”

“There’s a lot of other warfare labs and innovation labs in the Navy but they’re really production, research and development centric,” Coursey said. “What sets us apart, what makes us individual from all the others out there in the Navy, is we’re warfighter centric. So we’re here specifically for the people, for the fleet.”

That means the MARMC Fab Lab is looking at all the different uses they could have in the fleet. The Fab Lab has everything from 3D printers to CNC mills. They can create anything from simple tools to non- critical parts

The Fab Lab also prides itself on being able to take pretty much anybody from any rate, at any rank, and have them be proficient enough to provide these services. And that means everyone from machinists mates to culinary specialists.

By having a diverse group of rates come through the Fab Lab, they are better able to see what each rate needs. Each rate has its own personality, which means it has different ways that the 3D printers and CNC mills can be used not only to save money, but also time. The only real way to know what each rate needs is to have someone from that rate go through the Fab Lab experience.

These machines are nothing on their own. It’s only because of the people operating them that they are able to be useful.

As with everything in the Navy, the key to the success of the Fab Lab is its Sailors. While not all of them have been hand selected to be there, they have all gone from knowing nothing about this technology to being more than competent at it.

It seems like science fiction. Sometimes it feels like it too. The Fab Lab is growing in popularity and placing our Navy on the cutting edge of technology. Twenty years ago, this would have been a scene in a sci-fi movie. Now that it’s a reality, there’s no telling what tomorrow will bring, but our Sailors are ready.

Two big Christian music acts playing in Hampton Roads this weekend

By Dan Duke The Virginian-Pilot

Hampton Roads is blessed with an abundance of contemporary Christian music this weekend – and yes, I’m willing to risk eternal damnation for a bit of wordplay.

Three of the biggest bands in that category are playing here – with two of them combined as a sort of super-heavenly group. Steven Curtis Chapman – he’s got more awards than any other Christian music artist and has sold about 11 million albums – is singing as part of the band with Third Day, who have four Grammy Awards and sold more than 9 million albums. Their concert, April 30 in Newport News, is all but sold out.

On May 1 in Virginia Beach, Hillsong Worship headlines the Outcry Tour. The band from Sydney, Australia, has been performing for 33 years. Its latest album hit No. 1 in Australia and No. 1 in the U.S. on Billboard’s Christian albums chart.

I’m fascinated with this type of music. I perform it most every Sunday at Norview United Methodist Church in Norfolk with a gifted singer, guitar player and fiddler named Dennis Kelley.

And, I was in on the ground floor of contemporary Christian music. Or at least one of its iterations.

In the mid-1960s, St. Anselm’s in Swissvale, just outside Pittsburgh, was my church and school. Mass switched from Latin to English at that time. Either way, it was boring beyond belief, and the sermons – or the bits I listened to – were fire and brimstone. Then, Father Tom Smith came to town.

He preached about love. He sang and played guitar for the schoolchildren.

He was sunshine and fresh air. We were floored. Church didn’t have to be grim.

How about that?

He became known as “The Singing and Dancing Priest,” performing in bistros and halls far and wide, and getting national attention on talk shows with Mike Douglas, David Letterman and Phil Donahue.

He never approached the fame and reach of today’s contemporary Christian singers, but he was a pioneer in breaking past harrumphing traditionalists and using popular music to bring a little light into churches.

Let’s talk tasty taco tips

By Janet Tharpe JustAPinch

This Mexican street food is so popular it seems everyone has added Taco Tuesday to their weekly menu.

I know if you put a plate of tacos in front of me, you’ll see one big smile on my face.

If you’re looking for a bit of taco inspiration, here are a few of what I think are the best taco recipes.

“In the words of my little brother, ‘these tacos are the freakin bomb,’ and I would have to agree,” Lauren Mitchell jokes.

What makes Mitchell’s Grilled Fish Tacos with Chipotle Crema special is the marinade. Lime juice, olive oil, and garlic combine with seasonings like chili powder, cumin and Mexican oregano to pack one flavor punch. The chipotle cream tops the tacos off real nicely.

While Mitchell uses mahi-mahi for her fish tacos, Stephanie Tate chose tilapia or fresh cod for her Baja Style Fish Tacos.

“This recipe reminds me of summers in Mexico and buying a fish taco from the street vendors,” Mitchell reminisces. “A traditional street fish taco has a flour batter, [but] I prefer using very fine cornmeal instead.”

I’ve never met a fish taco I haven’t enjoyed ... and I loved these! I taste recipes as I go, and with each taste, these got better and better.

The cornmeal adds a slight crunch and texture to the fish.

These tacos are big on flavor and easy to make.

“Super easy to fix – just put the main ingredient in the crock pot in the morning and it’s ready at supper,” Tommy Curtis from Sharps Chapel, Tennessee, says of his family-favorite Cantina Beef and Lime Tacos recipe. “This dish is also foolproof, you can’t mess it up!”

If you’re looking for a dinner-time fiesta, this is a fantastic go-to recipe. And the recipe seriously couldn’t be any easier. Put it in the crock pot in the morning, and your house will smell amazing all day while it’s simmering.

What I love most about Greg Fontenot’s Beef and Artichoke Salsa Tacos is the amazing salsa on top. By adding just lime juice and chili season, the steak is seasoned just enough so that unusual artichoke salsa can really shine.

“This is a taco I prepare in some form at least every week,” Fontenot shares.

Serve these to your family once, and I guarantee they’ll become a staple on your taco

night menu. These are tasty!

“We love to go to our favorite Mexican restaurant, but when we can’t get a sitter or we’re just too tired to go out, this dinner fits the bill,” Shanelle Long explains.

“This recipe satisfies that need for quality Mexican food we enjoy out, but right in the comfort of our home.”

I love the yummy flavors in Long’s Amazing “Date Night” Chicken Tacos. It may be the “stewing” of the chicken, I’m not sure, but something special definitely does make these guys amazing!

“This recipe takes some time but is well worth the time,” Danielle Williams says of her Pulled Pork Tacos with Pickled Red Onions and Cilantro Pesto.

My goodness, Williams’ rub recipe is a real knock-out!

Brown sugar, salt, pepper, cayenne, cinnamon – the secret ingredient I think – cumin. So much flavor soaking into the pork butt. Throw in the yummy cilantro pesto and delicately pickled red onions, and you have got one truly special meal.

Whether you decide to go traditional or mix your flavors up a bit, tacos are an easy weeknight meal or work great for a fiesta with friends.

Let me know your favorite taco recipe. Happy pinching!

We continue to have fast Camrys. We’ll be continuing to run up front and race for wins.” -Kyle Busch

Carl Edwards bumps past Kyle Busch to victory in Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Int’l Raceway

By Rick Minter Universal Uclick

Bristol winner Carl Edwards got his second straight Sprint Cup win with a victory in the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway. But to get it, he bumped his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch from the lead on the final lap.

Although Busch was not critical of Edwards afterward, it was clear from his measured comments that he wasn’t happy about the move Edwards made. Busch, who recovered to finish second, went through his postrace media obligations, but did not address the bump.

Asked if he expected a bump from Edwards on the last lap, Busch responded, “Our Banfield Camry was real awesome today. We had a great race car. My guys made some awesome adjustments to it. It was really good for us to have an opportunity to run and race for the win like that.”

His answer, when asked for a response to

Edwards’ explanation that he and Busch can race without worry because both have won a race this season and are virtually assured of berths in the Chase, elicited little reaction as he essentially repeated his earlier answer.

“My guys give me great race cars each and every week,” he said. “We continue to have fast Camrys. We’ll be continuing to run up front and race for wins.”

Edwards said having fast teammates – he and Busch together have won the past four Cup races – inevitably leads to scenarios like the Toyota Owners 400.

“The double-edged sword of having great teammates is, sometimes you have to race like that,” he said, adding that he thought Busch’s car was losing speed in the final laps. “It looked like maybe his tires went away. Going down the back straight, I thought he’d spun his tires; they were hot.

“I knew I was going to run the bottom.

Somehow he knew I was going to run the bottom, too. So he went there. He squared up the car, slowed down. He was pretty cer-

tain I was going to bump him. At that point, it’s like, man, we’re so much faster into the corner, I had to try something.”

Team owner Joe Gibbs said he’s not sure how the regular team meeting will play out this week or what he will say to the two drivers.

“I think when something like this happens, I don’t think there’s a game plan for it,” he said. “You have no real organized way of handling it. What you do is you start out and work your way through it. That’s what we’ll do.”

But, Gibbs said, it won’t be easy.

“It’s a tough thing, because it’s certainly painful for one side,” he said. “You’re on such a high with the other side. It’s a tough thing.”

The Toyota Owners 400 race saw eight drivers lead at some point, with 23 official lead changes.

Joe Gibbs Racing placed all four of its drivers in the top 7 at Richmond, as Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin finished sixth, followed by Matt Kenseth.

Hendrick Motorsports, which has two

wins this season – both by Jimmie Johnson, at Atlanta and Auto Club Speedway – had two drivers in the Top-5 at Richmond, as Johnson finished third, ahead of fourthplace Kasey Kahne, who scored his first Top-5 of the season. Stewart-Haas Racing’s Kevin Harvick, who won earlier this year, at Phoenix, was fifth.

Tony Stewart, in his first Sprint Cup start of the season, finished 19th and moved to 40th in the points standings, 101 markers behind Matt DiBenedetto in 30th.

To make the Chase, Stewart, who missed the first eight races because of a non-racing back injury, must win a regular-season race and be among the top 30 in points after the first 26 races.

He plans to start next week’s race at Talladega Superspeedway, and then turn his No. 14 Chevrolet over to Ty Dillon. That will allow Stewart to be credited for the points earned by the car, but keep him out of harm’s way at a track that has been known to have some nasty crashes.

UFC

Forget rankings, DJ makes case as best ever

By Thomas Gerbasi UFC.com

One minute. Give or take a few seconds, depending on your capacity to be alarmed, that 1/60 of an hour against John Dodson in January of 2013 is the only time Demetrious Johnson appeared to be in danger of losing his UFC flyweight title.

Dropped to the mat twice in that minute by Dodson, Johnson still recovered quickly and got back to work, going on to fight three-and-a-half more rounds and retain his crown via unanimous decision.

With his first successful title defense in hand, his reign had truly begun, and no one has gotten close to him since.

The most recent challenger to be dismissed was Henry Cejudo, an unbeaten Olympic gold medalist whom Johnson stopped in less than three minutes April 23 in Las Vegas.

That was defense No. 8, tying him with interim light heavyweight champion Jon Jones on the UFC’s all-time list. The man at the top, former middleweight champion Anderson Silva, is the leader with 10 successful defenses.

Such excellence has many calling for “Mighty Mouse” to supplant Jones as the top pound-for-pound fighter in the sport. But would it be out of line to call Johnson the most dominant UFC champion – not just today, but ever?

He’s not the first name to come to mind. That headspace is reserved for icons with unforgettable names: Silva,

Courtesy of UFC Demetrious Johnson successfully defended his crown for the eigth consecutive time.

Georges St-Pierre (GSP), Jones, Liddell, Hughes, Ortiz, Shamrock, Aldo and Rousey. But a closer look shows a reign by Johnson that is not just lengthy, but historic.

Frank Shamrock, the earliest titleholder on the list, was champion of what is now known as the light heavyweight division from 1997 to 1999. He was a talented and dominant champion, but he did go life-and-death with Tito Ortiz before beating him in 1999 and then relinquishing the title to go into a brief retirement.

Ortiz and Chuck Liddell also dominated the competition at 205 pounds during their respective reigns, but with a combined nine successful title defenses, they don’t match the longevity of someone like Silva.

The first lady of MMA, Ronda Rousey, has a strong case for her reign from 2012 to 2015, which saw her win six title defense fights, finishing all of them – five in the first round and three in less than a minute. But her title loss to Holly Holm last November has many fans and pundits focusing on Rousey’s present and future and not appreciat-

ing her body of work before the defeat. The same goes for Jose Aldo’s five-year run at the top of the featherweight division, in which he defeated six challengers in seven title fights before a stunning knockout loss to Conor McGregor.

So let’s address these reigns at a later time.

So what of Johnson’s title run compared to the fearsome foursome of Jones, Silva, GSP and Matt Hughes? Each fighter dominated his division for years, fighting stellar competition each step of the way. But if we’re talking clear dominance, it means the champion to hold this mythical crown must have been virtually untouched while at the top. So it can’t be Hughes, who was nearly finished by Frank Trigg or BJ Penn; Silva being pushed to the brink of defeat by Chael Sonnen before a miracle fifth-round finish; Jones almost getting submitted by Vitor Belfort or going through a five-round war with Alexander Gustafsson; or GSP getting dropped by a Carlos Condit kick or eking out a decision over Johny Hendricks.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

On the contrary, a fighter coming back from the brink of defeat to win shows championship heart, and it’s those battles we will be talking about for years. Johnson even did it himself when he rose from those early knockdowns to win the next three rounds and beat Dodson.

But that “danger” lasted all of a minute. Not a round, not five. It was one minute where you sat there and thought Johnson actually might lose. Since that fight, Johnson has fought in the Octagon for one hour, 51 minutes, and eight seconds, compiling seven wins. He has finished five of those bouts, and in the two he went the distance in, he lost one round on two judges’ scorecards.

It’s a championship resume few, if any, can touch. It’s not Ali rope-a-doping Foreman into defeat or a halfblind Leonard knocking out Hearns. Think of it more as fistic perfection, a Floyd Mayweather going 49-0, Pernell Whitaker or Willie Pep showing that technique and defense can win fights.

In other words, appreciate “Mighty Mouse” while you can, because when he leaves, it will be more than a minute before we see the likes of him again.
