Gray clouds and a howling wind set the tone of a somber spring morning. Drops of rain fall like tears on gathered mourners, clothed in black. Before them sits a casket, draped in the cloth of a grateful nation, ﬂanked by stoic Sailors who came to render ﬁnal honors. An order is given and the Sailors place their shipmate before his gathered loved ones. The sounds of

sorrow mix with the soft patter of rainfall. Deep in grief, the mourners slowly rise as a team of rifles aim toward the heavens. “Ready. Aim. Fire.” The shots echo across the cemetery. “Ready. Aim. Fire.” A Sailor’s sacrifice is paid tribute. “Ready. Aim. Fire.” One final blast punches the air, and then, all goes silent.

NSA Hampton Roads celebrates Arbor Day By Katisha Draughn-Fraguada Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads Public Affairs

NORFOLK

In recognition of Arbor Day, Naval Support Activity (NSA) Hampton Roads celebrated with events on Apr. 26 and Apr. 28. The first event was held at NSA Hampton Roads-Northwest Annex where children from the Child Development Center (CDC) helped plant a Bald Cypress tree. “It’s important to have celebrations that get the children and community exposed to why trees are so vital,” Natural Resources Manager for Northwest Annex Michael Wright said. “It’s a good lesson on the web of life and how trees are an integral part of us and how we need them to live.” During the celebration, Wright asked the children why they thought trees were important, to which she received multiple excited replies, “They provide shade!” “They give us oxygen!” “They keep our heart pumping!” Virginia Department of Forestry Area Forester Michael Aherron was also on hand to emphasize the importance of Arbor Day. “This is our opportunity to educate the children about trees, the benefits they provide, and how they impact the environment,” he said. “This is also a good tool to show them how to care for a tree.” Arbor Day is an annual observance that celebrates the role of trees and promotes tree planting and care. J. Sterling Morton founded Arbor Day in 1872 with the goal of setting aside a special day for tree planting. In addition to planting the tree, Northwest Annex assistant officer in charge Chief Boatswains Mate Pat Warthen read the proclamation signifying the occasion and the CDC children and teachers were on hand to help celebrate Northwest Annex being

named a Tree City installation for the fourteenth year. The installation achieved Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program’s four requirements: a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. “The children really enjoyed the celebration and I could tell how amazed they were to hear about trees and how signiﬁcant they are to all of us,” Warthen said. “The sense of amazement that they see in everything is so inspiring and reminds me of why I do this job every day.” On Apr. 28, NSA Hampton Roads Headquarters celebrated Arbor Day with a tree planting and the reading of the proclamation. Sailors were on hand to plant the tree and celebrate the seventh year NSA Hampton Roads Headquarters has been named a Tree City installation. “This is good for morale and helps to reinforce our commitment and stewardship to the environment,” NSA Hampton Roads Environmental Program Director Linda Hicks said. NSA Hampton Roads Headquarters also achieved Tree City USA recognition by the same four requirements as Northwest Annex. In addition to Arbor Day, both installations have participated in various events that support the environment such as Clean the Base Day, National Public Lands Day, International Migratory Bird Day, and Clean the Bay Day. “When people plant a tree, it starts off small and as it grows over time, the trees become like monuments,” Virginia Department of Forestry Senior Area Forester Robbie Lewis said. “People make memories tied to that and that special connection makes those trees so important and memorable.”

Unaccompanied Personnel Housing receives Navy Region Mid-Atlantic’s only ‘A’ List Crystal Award By Katisha Draughn-Fraguada Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads Public Affairs

NORFOLK

Unaccompanied Personnel Housing (UPH) at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Hampton RoadsPortsmouth Annex recently received the CEL and Associates National Real Estate Platinum “A” List Crystal Award for excellence in customer service. The UPH at Portsmouth Annex was the only housing facility out of 16 in Navy Region Mid-Atlantic (NRMA) to receive the award for

ﬁscal year 2015. “It is such an honor and a wonderful feeling for my staff to be recognized for all of our efforts in ensuring that our residents are taken care of and provided the best service,” UPH Installation Program Director Sheila Costello said. UPH received the award as a result of the resident satisfaction surveys (RSS), which is a helpful tool that allows residents to provide feedback on their Navy Housing experience, whether it is the service they receive or the home they live in. Survey scores can be used

to help identify areas that need improvement, as well as those that can be benchmarked. “My staff and I are in constant communication with the residents throughout the year and we try to talk with them as much as possible about any issues that they may be having,” Costello said. “It is so important to be in-tune with them so that they know we really care about their living experience.” The RSS ran from mid-September through November of 2015 and NRMA Navy Housing was provided a bi-weekly survey count update

and the status on where each housing property was in the collection process. “In addition, it was used to ensure that we met our calendar year 2015 RSS program goal of achieving a 50 percent response rate during the reporting period,” Costello said. “By mid-October, we completed the survey collection and received an outstanding 97.8 percent response rate, which was 48.9 percent above the program goal.” In order to have received the number of surveys with positive results, Costello encourages her

housing staff to show great front desk customer service at all times; provide prompt response and updates regarding maintenance requests and ﬁxed issues; maintain a good rapport with the tenant commands; ensure upper management responds to issues and questions within 24 hours; and keep open communication with the resident advisors so they were able to provide residents with proper information and assistance. “I think what had a great impact is that we found the best time to reach out to our Single Junior Sailors, which was typically during resident town halls. We also did roomto-room delivery of the surveys, and offered to pick up the surveys from the residents, at their room, or provided them easy access to management for drop off,” Costello said. “We used a very distinct, hands-on approach.” Costello and her 10 staff members provide customer service to approximately 322 permanent party residents and 43 wounded warriors on a daily basis. “We are a small staff, so it is an honor to receive such a prestigious award,” Costello said. The Platinum “A” List Crystal Award is a Real Estate Award for customer service excellence at a military installation. The UPH received the “Best in the Industry” ratings for providing a superior level of service to their residents. “Earning this award is a considerable honor for the UPH team and I am very proud of their hard work and dedication to our Sailors,” NSA Hampton Roads Commanding Ofﬁcer Capt. Jack Freeman said. Each year, CEL and Associates compiles customer satisfaction survey data from thousands of properties. Since 1998, the “A” List Awards For Customer Service Excellence have been awarded in recognition of achieving a “Best in the Industry” rating for providing the highest level and quality of service. “I have such a great team of professionals here who work their hardest from the time they get to work in the morning until they leave in the evening,” Costello said. “We are all dedicated and will continue to support our Sailors and the Navy’s mission.”

NORFOLK

Cmdr. Doug Gabos was relieved by Lt. Cmdr. Ronald R. Yniguez as ofﬁcer in charge (OIC) of Expeditionary Combat Camera (EXPCOMBATCAM) in a change of charge ceremony, April 29. Gabos assumed the duties as OIC September 2012 and worked to ensure EXPCOMBATCAM Sailors followed four tenets: safety, leadership, training and teamwork. “I remain in awe of the Sailors and civilians who work here at EXPCOMBATCAM. Your level of professionalism, determination and drive is unparalleled,” Gabos said. “The scope of our missions can be daunting at times, but what you all bring to the ﬁght each and

every day is enormous. Your commitment, initiative and loyalty are what have helped us achieve so much.” Gabos’ next assignment will be at Navy Reserve Forces Command where he will serve as the force public affairs officer. Prior to his tenure at EXPCOMBATCAM, Gabos served as the executive officer at Navy Public Affairs Support Element (NPASE) in Norfolk. EXPCOMBATCAM forces perform unique and highly specialized missions with visual information documentation capabilities supporting all phases of an operation or campaign. Personnel maintain qualifications enabling them to operate with air crew, special operations forces (SOF) and military divers. EXPCOMBATCAM teams have the technological capability to rapidly transmit imagery during

fast-moving operations and support forward-operating maneuver elements. Commander of Naval Construction Group (NCG) 2 Capt. Paul J. Odenthal served as the guest speaker for the ceremony. “He has commanded this unit and has done a great job,” Odenthal said. “To be successful in a mission like this and have a crew that goes out and captures such great imagery and does what this command does takes vision, leadership, and drive. Doug has done a fantastic job of that.” Odenthal presented the Meritorious Service Medal to Gabos following his remarks. Yniguez worked as the operations ofﬁcer for NPASE before serving as EXPCOMBATCAM assistant ofﬁcer in charge (AOIC). After reading his orders and assuming command as EXPCOMBATCAM OIC he addressed Cmdr. Gabos, guests, and his crew of Sailors and civilians. “I can’t say enough about the support and mentorship you [Gabos] gave me during my time as your AOIC,” Yniguez said. “The work the crew here at combat camera does is impeccable and I look forward to working with you all in the future.”

The Navy is contacting 12 property owners in the vicinity of Navy Auxiliary Landing Field Fentress for permission to sample drinking water from private wells for the presence of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs). In February and March, the Navy tested 53 private wells within a half-mile radius of the on-base wells where the compounds were detected. The Navy is providing water to two of the private wells that had levels above the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provisional health advisory for PFCs. Three wells are being monitored quarterly to ensure the PFCs remain below the EPA’s provisional level. Results at 48 wells required no further action. This week, Navy environmental staff, verifying the test values from the February sampling, discovered an error affecting the results at one property previously requiring no further action. The Navy has notified the property owner that the corrected results are still below the EPA advisory levels and asked for permission to monitor the well quarterly. A transposition of screening values was responsible for the incorrect result. The Navy has verified that all other comparisons to EPA’s provisional health advisory values were accurate. By policy, the Navy must now expand the sampling area in a half mile radius from this sample for the presence of the PFCs in drinking water wells. On Feb. 28, the Navy began notifying the 12 property owners within the half mile radius. “When we started the testing we knew additional testing might be required,” Commanding Officer of Naval Air Station Oceana and Fentress Capt. Lou Schager said. “We also promised to keep the community and our partners upto-date and informed of where we are in the process and the next steps.” Sampling of the drinking water from the wells will be performed May 3-13. Property owners will be individually notified of the results. The results are expected in early June 2016. A public information update session will be held in June, similar to the ones conducted by the Navy, federal, state, and local agencies in February and March. The location, date, and time are still being determined. A water-fill station for use by residents who have concerns with their well water used for cooking and drinking, will remain open. The Navy in partnership with the City of Chesapeake set up the station in February. In December, Navy installations across the country began testing on-base drinking water wells for the presence of PFCs. The compounds were used in many products, beginning in the 1950s, for their stain and water-repellent properties, including the foam the Navy used to train Sailors in fighting aircraft fires at sea and ashore. The Navy no longer uses the foam in firefighting training. The compounds are also found in paints, carpets, cookware and food packaging.

Guided-missile destroyer USS Mason (DDG 87) hosted a Family Day Cruise from its homeport at Naval Station Norfolk, April 25. The 12-hour cruise offered guests a chance to experience what it is like being underway on the ship and an opportunity to observe their Sailors in action. The day began with boat operations as one of Mason’s rigid hull inﬂatable boats was hoisted back aboard after routine maintenance while guests enjoyed the view. “The purpose of the Family Day cruise was to have the Sailors’ families see kind of what they do on a daily basis,” Culinary Specialist 1st Class Casey King said. “It gave them a chance to spend time with family and friends

while underway on a warship.” The guests also had the chance to enjoy breakfast and lunch prepared by the ship’s culinary specialists, receive an exclusive tour of a variety of spaces within the ship, observe the firing of a MK 45 5-inch gun and a MK 38 M242 25mm Bushmaster chain gun, and watch a F/A-18 Super Hornet flyby. “To be a part of the process meant a lot,” King said. “It was a lot of work. There were some things that popped up last minute during the planning and finalizing process, but to see the fun all the family, friends, and Sailors had was well worth it.” Guests also had the opportunity to learn about Mason and her crew by observing static displays of damage

control, seamanship, weapons familiarization, and Visit, Board, Search and Seizure techniques. “My family was excited,” Personnel Specialist 2nd Class Xin Yu Chen said. “I’ve always told them that the U.S. Navy was the best and this event showed that. It gave them a chance to experience what I do and participate in a lot of things that a very select few experience in their lifetime.” The day’s events culminated in an awards ceremony as Cmdr. Christopher J. Gilbertson presented 19 Sailors with their Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist devices after completing the requirements during Mason’s composite training unit exercise last month. Many Sailors who received the distinction had family members present during the cruise. Mason is preparing for an upcoming deployment with the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group.

USS Abraham Lincoln’s (CVN 72) sexual assault prevention and response (SAPR) team sponsored a special track and field day on the Huntington Hall field April 22 in support of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAPM). The day kicked off with Lincoln Sailors walking in silence, to raise awareness of the silence victims of sexual assault often endure. SAPR representatives also set up a booth to provide Sailors with information on the program and how it can assist victims. Throughout the afternoon, Lincoln Sailors competed against Sailors from USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) and USS Enterprise (CVN 65) in multiple track and field events. “We have more people showing up this year than we did last year,” region Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC) Shannon Minor said. “Every year there has been an increase in participants, so I am pleased with the support that the Lincoln has given for this event; it’s a great turnout.” Participants also had the opportunity to take part in The Clothesline Project by writing messages or drawings to create a visual display of shirts to graphically depict the impact of violence faced by both male and female victims of abuse. “The Clothesline Project gives people the opportunity to read raw feelings and emotions of what the victims are going through and thinking about,” Aviation Structural Mechanic 1st Class Kevin Snow said. “It also lets others give words of encouragement. The main takeaway is that you are never alone; there is a large group of people who are ready and willing to help.” This event is one of many scheduled during Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month to raise awareness about sexual violence, educate Sailors on how to prevent violence and what help is available should a sexual assault occur. “Events like this help spread the information and awareness so that people can see who their SARC is and meet other SAPR victim advocates,” Minor said. “We all come together to agree that everyone is against sexual assault and to learn how we can intervene to prevent it from happening.” Lincoln is currently undergoing Refueling and Complex Overhaul (RCOH) at Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries. It is the fifth ship of the Nimitz class to undergo a RCOH, a major life-cycle milestone. Once complete, Lincoln will be one of the most modern and technologically-advanced aircraft carriers in the fleet and will continue to be a vital part of the nation’s defense.

HONORS

| More than

25,000 ceremonies in 2015 Continued from front A shiver runs through those gathered as the first notes of taps breaks the silence. The bugle’s lonely song resonates through the open air; each note is a memorial to the life and service of this departed shipmate. The nation’s flag is folded with care, each corner made crisp, each star shone bright on a field of blue. As it’s presented to a grieving loved one, a Sailor speaks these solemn words. “On behalf of the president of the United States, the United States Navy, and a grateful nation, please accept this flag as a symbol of our appreciation for your loved one’s honorable and faithful service.” His final salute is to the family from a grateful nation and those who serve. Fair winds and following seas shipmate, we have the watch, you stand relieved. This is the solemn duty of Navy Region Mid-Atlantic’s (NRMA) Funeral Honors Team, to render final honors to the region’s naval veterans. Though it may do little to ease their grieving, families of deceased Sailors can take comfort in knowing that their loved ones’ patriotism and sacrifice is recognized and commemorated by the honor guard. “It’s the Navy’s way of giving those shipmates their final tribute,” NRMA Funeral Honor Guard Team lead Denise Murphy said. “It’s a way of honoring those veterans for their service, and it’s the most dignified thing we could do for our fallen Sailors.” The Funeral Honors Team is made up of Sailors and civilians responsible for an area covering 583 thousand square miles across 20 states in the Northeast and Midwest. Support staff located in Norfolk and Groton, Connecticut, provide scheduling and logistics support for a Funeral Honor Guard based out of Naval Station Norfolk and the 60 plus reserve and Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps teams located across the region. The Norfolk honor guard consists of 30 active-duty Sailors from local commands on six-month temporary assignment that provide ceremonies for retirees and veterans in the Hampton Roads area. However, more than three quarters of all requests made annually are handled by the reserve and cadet

CHILDREN

teams spread out across the region’s vast territory. In 2014, Sailors conducted 14,690 ceremonies in 14 states. That same year NRMA assumed responsibility for six additional Midwestern states, more than doubling their square mileage. The following year the number of ceremonies spiked to 25,629. That year the national total for all six regions was 58,418. The region is home to two heavily requested locations, New York and Chicago. Sailors have already conducted 14,749 ceremonies this year, an average of 70 per day. The schedule is demanding and the team does its best to accommodate every request made, near or far, rain or shine. The nature of the work leaves little time for planning. The team asks for 48 hours notice, but often gets much less. When a request comes in, the regional office screens it to ensure the veteran’s eligibility, specifically proof of honorable service. “From that point we designate a command by location to assign the closest team available taking work load into consideration,” Murphy said. “We try to keep the average miles traveled to under 200 miles round trip, but that would be the minimum given our vast area of responsibility and placement of assets.” Despite the logistical challenges, the team was able to fulfill 99 percent of last year’s requests. “This is a total force mission,” Murphy said. “It’s short fused, you can’t plan death. That’s the nature of the mission. And we have to be ready 365 days a year to carry out that mission.” Throughout their time in the Funeral Honor Guard, Sailors will conduct more than one hundred funerals. “One of the most difficult things is being able to have complete composure, and being able to be as professional as you can,” NRMA Funeral Honor Guard assistant leading petty officer Gas Turbine System Technician (Mechanical) 1st Class Jeffery Hammer said. “Whenever you are presenting a flag to a wife, or daughter, or son, they’re grieving and you want to grieve with them, but you can’t. You have to keep your composure and that’s probably the hardest part of this job.” Cryptologic Technician Collection 3rd Class Dillon Norcross will

| Geis shares his family’s story

Continued from front Leaders spent an entire day engaged in facilitator-led discussions, information-sharing, and presentations addressing the challenges of supporting military children. Today, it's estimated that over two million school age children have a parent or parents serving in the armed forces. MCEC Convening Coordinator Joan Patterman Barrett said there are at least 10 thousand of those military connected children reside in the Norfolk area. “It's almost certain that number is under estimated,” she said. These children face a number of challenges that come with the unpredictable lifestyle of military service. “Military families have all the same stressors that civilian families have, but civilian families often have a familiarity and support structures built by years within a city or neighborhood,” Geis said. “Military families have to deal with those stressors without that support structure.” Geis himself is the child of a service member. His father, retired Lt. Cmdr. Neil F. Geis, served 26 years in the Navy as an engineman, retiring when Geis was 10 years old. One of the greatest challenges faced by school age children are the many school changes that come as a result of frequent moves around the country. Different school districts and states may have varying curricula, standards and requirements, which can present roadblocks to transitioning military children. Geis shared his children's personal experiences growing up in a military family with those gathered. “When we moved here in 2004, my son Bob was starting ninth grade at his ninth school. My daughter Megan was starting ﬁfth grade at her

We are blessed to be a part of a community that really accepts our military families as part of the fabric of our city, of our region.” -NRMA Chief of Staff Capt. Robert Geis fourth school. My children were educated in San Diego; San Francisco; Silverdale, Washington; Jacksonville, Florida; Tampa, Florida; Newport, Rhode Island; and right here in Hampton Roads. They learned that moving was an adventure and that sometimes you have to say goodbye. You have to say goodbye to friends and routines you are familiar with.” The convening focused on how local leaders could unite to ease these burdens and many others military families face. Ideas were exchanged to address the needs of military-connected students in the City of Norfolk, at all grade levels, in support of their college, career and life readiness with considerations including academic life, social-emotional well-being and transitions. The convening also looked to identify and capitalize on existing assets, partnerships and resources, and to encourage future partnerships between the City of Norfolk, Norfolk public schools and the military. “We do not do this alone,” Geis said. “We in the military recognize the tremendous importance of education and educators as we build connections to our new homes. Those educators include teachers and counselors, coaches and staff.” “Active collaboration on the part of so many city, school and military leaders is the ﬁrst indication that the city of Norfolk is a community that values its military-connected children,” Patterman Barrett said.

The convening developed action plans focusing on academics, advocacy and increased access to opportunity with a goal of implementing these plans by the year 2020. The city hopes to become the beacon of opportunity by establishing effective communication and collaboration between organizations and providing reliable access to information and resources to transferring military families to ease their navigation through the education process. “Supportive environments, schools, neighbors and communities, play a huge part in developing [our children’s] resilience” Geis said. “There can be no doubt that we here in Norfolk are extremely fortunate to be surrounded and supported by a community that acknowledges the sacriﬁce and contributions made by military members and their families. We are blessed to be a part of a community that really accepts our military families as part of the fabric of our city, of our region.” In the 18 years since the its founding, the MCEC has worked to improve the lives of military children by providing research based tools, practical professional development, and partnership support. This Convening is a key component in an integrated network of collaborative events hosted by the MCEC that collectively promote academic partnerships and provide pathways to academic success for all of the nation’s military-connected children.

sitting there, having to look someone in the eyes that looks just like me and reliving all those memories. It shook me up a bit. “It’s hard,” Norcross continued. “Because I really wanted to say something but I can’t. People will want to say thank you and talk to you and hug you, but you have to maintain your composure, say your lines, present the ﬂag, salute and turn away.” The job is not without its rewards. “There’s really no physical gratitude when it comes to rewards you get from being in funeral honors,” Hammer said. “It’s just the pride that you get from what you do. Being able to support your country, being able to support your fallen shipmates, that to me is the biggest gratitude you can get from this. It’s just getting that pride knowing that what you’re doing is bettering the

CATS

military community.” Honor, duty and personal pride can be powerful motivators, but each member of the team has their own personal reasons for serving. Murphy, a civilian now, was a Navy reservist when she first started working with the funeral honors program. It wasn’t long after that the nation was thrust into the global war on terrorism. “When 9/11 happened, and we were doing funerals for the victims, it really set a stronghold in my heart,” she said. When Murphy left the Navy and was given an opportunity to come back to the office as a civilian, she didn’t have to think twice. “There was no question in my heart that this is where I wanted to be, and I think that’s the spirit of everybody out there doing the funerals,” she said. While honoring late service members with a final farewell, the flags, rifles and bugles at these ceremonies also give family members closure and peace-of-mind. “The notes that we get from the families bring tears to your eyes because they’ll always say that, ‘Dad was so proud of his service in the Navy. He couldn’t have had a more beautiful send-off. The service members were professional and he was sent off with dignity and we can’t thank you enough for your presence there,’” Murphy said. “That’s pretty much the message they all come through with and I think it’s a great thing that we are doing it.”

on giving a feral cat a home Continued from front the Navy to help cats living outside and unowned at Naval Station (NAVSTA) Norfolk, the world’s largest naval base. The cats will be placed with community members owning barns or stables who will provide care for the felines in an indoor and outdoor environment. People owning breweries, distilleries, vineyards or warehouses may also be considered for appropriate placements. All who agree to provide loving oversight will receive a cat from the naval base. They also will greatly enhance the lives of the cats while gaining rodent control experts. This initiative started once the Norfolk SPCA was made aware of the large number of cats living on NAVSTA Norfolk. Military policy forbids feeding the cats as well as assisting them via a trap-neuter-return (TNR) program, because stray companion animals are not permitted on military property. Recently, however, Cat Team 7 leaders reached out to leaders of NAVSTA Norfolk to determine if the Navy would permit humanely trapping the cats, so they could be sterilized and given a rabies vaccine at the Norfolk SPCA’s public veterinary clinic, which assists thousands of feral cats in local TNR programs. The cats from the naval base would not be returned to their current outdoor home, as is typical with TNR, but, instead, relocated for an outdoor existence with a screened and approved adopter elsewhere in Virginia. “We just had to see if Naval Station Norfolk wanted to be part of an effort that would make them

the most humane naval base in the world,” Cat Team 7 Project Coordinator Caitlyn McIntosh said. “Partnering with Norfolk SPCA and Naval Station Norfolk has been amazing and this is only the beginning.” Cat Team 7 volunteers – the majority of whom are current or former members of the military or are spouses of service members – will receive trapped cats from the Navy, arrange the spay and neuter surgeries, and transport cats with needed equipment to ensure successful relocations. Feral cat relocations are not always successful and take two to four weeks of caring for the cats indoors in a cage or pen to ensure cats accept the new location as a home. “We are thrilled that the U.S. Navy has agreed to this trap-neuter-relocate effort and we heartily thank the leadership at Naval Station Norfolk for partnering with us to launch this program,” Norfolk SPCA Executive Director Rob Blizard said. “The potential for improving the lives of these cats and their kittens – by stopping the cycle of reproduction and ﬁnding them a caring home – is enormous.” The effort to trap-neuter-relocate will begin in May. The Norfolk SPCA and Cat Team 7 will be updating the public on a regular basis on the results of the program in hopes of encouraging similar tests at other military installations in Hampton Roads and even nationwide. Anyone interested in giving a home to an outdoor cat from the NAVSTA Norfolk should contact Cat Team 7 at (571) 423-9200 or catteam7norfolk@gmail.com.

We all have a part in eliminating sexual assault By Regena Kowitz Naval Health Research Center

SAN DIEGO

In keeping with the theme for Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAPM) “Eliminate Sexual Assault: Know Your Part, Do Your Part,” the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) hosted two events to raise awareness about sexual assault and teach practical self-defense skills to staff. SAAPM is intended to draw attention to the fact that sexual violence remains an intol-

erable violent crime which impacts mission readiness for our Navy community. Eliminating sexual assault requires every service member to be a steadfast participant in creating an appropriate and respectful culture and upholding Navy core values. “Every service member, from the new recruit to the ﬂag ofﬁcer, must know, understand, and adhere to Navy core values and standards of behavior in order to eliminate sexual assault and other criminal behavior,” a research physiologist at NHRC and one of the command’s points of contact for the sexual assault preven-

tion and response (SAPR) program Lt. Melissa Laird said. Know Your Part Knowledge is power. Being a research command, it was only ﬁtting that staff at NHRC hosted a poster presentation to share research ﬁndings on the topic of sexual assault.

The Navy joins the nation in celebrating the contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month throughout May. The Navy encourages commands to embrace this year’s national theme “Walk Together, Embrace Differences, Build Legacies.” This year’s three imperatives serve to promote equal representation and to remove barriers in developing diverse leaders, acknowledging the challenges that still exist today. Today, there are 24,500 Asian American and Pacific Islander Sailors serving in the Navy, including eight admirals and 235 master chief and senior chief petty officers. These Sailors represent more than 56 ethnic groups, speaking over 100 languages from Asia and the Pacific Islands, living in the U.S. Asian American and Pacific Islanders of various nationalities and ancestry have been serving in the Navy since the early 19th century. The rich history of these cultures, their struggles against adversity to achieve equality, significant contributions to the American experience, and the opportunity to build the foundation for a bright future are made reality by some great leaders who share the same heritage. Senior leaders serving in the Navy today, who are Asian American and Pacific Islanders, are:

May is Gold Star Awareness Month By Stephanie Hunter Navy Installations Command Gold Star Program

NORFOLK

The month of May is synonymous with Memorial Day; the unofﬁcial kick off to summer, barbecues and a long holiday weekend, however Memorial Day was created as a day of remembrance to honor those who have paid the ultimate price to ensure our freedom. Originally known as Decoration Day, it was dedicated to honoring the fallen after the Civil War and that tradition remained until WWI when it evolved to honoring all who gave their lives in service to our country. Memorial Day was established as a federal holiday in 1971. Today, while our primary efforts are to remember those fallen service members we should also take time to recognize the sacriﬁces that Gold Star family members make when a father, mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, or other loved one dies in service to the nation. The Navy

recognizes that no one has given more for the nation than the families of the fallen. As Memorial Day approaches all Americans should think about the sacriﬁces made by military service members and their families and remember those who died and will no longer be able to celebrate a birthday, an accomplishment, or a special family event and those families who will have an empty seat at their table. The Navy Gold Star program has designated the month of May as Gold Star Awareness Month. Throughout the month, the Navy Gold Star program will help to educate our communities on what it means to be a Gold Star family as well as to honor those Gold Star families by hosting events that pay tribute to the fallen and connect them with one another. For more information on events in your area please visit www. facebook.com/navygoldstar or www.navygoldstar.com or call (888) 509-8759.

This May, U-Haul Team members had the honor of handing out Memorial Day cards at the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington D.C. As the parade’s pre-entry, U-Haul Team Members marched along side a U-Haul truck showcasing the “United We Stand” SuperGraphic, honoring the victims of 9/11. The cards handed out this year were illustrated by a dear friend of Kathryn’s and a Gold Star Father, John Phelps, with American Flags, these cards were handed out to parade goers and more speciﬁcally, Veterans in the crowd. Many of the veterans who received the cards were very thankful but reminded Team members what the day was truly about – remembering and honoring their fallen brothers and sisters who made the ultimate sacriﬁce. U-Haul Company is proud to be partnered with Kathryn in her mission to remember all of our veterans. Myra Byers, president of American Gold Star Mothers, stated, “Thank you so much in your efforts to serve, support, and recognize our veterans. The cards are beautiful and a great way to acknowledge our military.”

GOLD STAR MOM HANDS OUT MEMORIAL DAY CARDS Press Release My U-Haul Story

American Gold Star Mothers is an organization focused on remembering our fallen heroes. It is composed of mothers who have lost a son or a daughter in the service of our country. American Gold Star Mothers continue to honor their sons and daughters through service – service to veterans and patriotic events. Kathryn Cross, a Gold Star Mother and artist, has been making cards for veterans since 2009. These beautifully illustrated cards were made in the memory of OSSN Tyler J. Connely, Cross’ son, who was killed in action bravely serving our country. Cross created The Tribute Journey as a way to honor service members past and present through her cards. U-Haul Company has partnered

with Kathryn Cross since the beginning of the Tribute Journey to help print and deliver more than 200,000 cards every year to our veterans all over the world. U-Haul Company’s Team members volunteer with Gold Star Mothers in handing out the cards at VA hospitals across the U.S. and Canada as well as being distributed to Navy ships at sea. “Sometimes along The Tribute Journey we are blessed with the honor of paying special homage to those who have so gallantly served us as their spirits embark on a new journey and they join their fellow comrades – like my own son,” Cross stated. “A life remembered never dies”. Cross currently creates six different cards including cards for Memorial Day, Veterans Day and Valentine’s Day.

TRICARE improves mental health care and treatment Press Release TRICARE

People in distress may hesitate to reach out for help due to perceived stigma associated with seeking mental health treatment. This perception and the belief that care may be hard to get, may prevent some people who need care from getting it. TRICARE has worked hard to eliminate potential barriers to mental health care by removing day limits for certain mental health services. When a mental health condition requires more intensive treatment

than outpatient care, partial or full-time hospitalization may be required. The in-patient psychiatric hospitalization benefit was limited to 30 days per benefit year for adults and 45 days for children or adolescents. You could request a waiver for additional treatment days if needed. Now however, inpatient mental health hospital services, regardless of length or quantity, may be covered as long as the care is considered medically or psychologically necessary and appropriate. In addition, the 150 day limit on residential treatment care for beneficiaries under 21 has

been removed. Although medical determination is still required, there is no day limit. The psychiatric partial hospitalization benefit still requires a waiver to extend treatment beyond the 60 day limit per benefit year. However, there is currently a proposed rule that would remove the limitation to ensure that beneficiaries receive care for as long as needed. More information will be provided on this change when it is available. If you or someone you know requires mental health care, get help. If you believe emergency care is

required, you can get emergency psychiatric care without pre-authorization. However, you must get authorization within 72 hours of admission and the 72 hours starts the day after admission. Medical or surgical care does not and has not historically had day limits on care. Now, thanks to the federal mental health parity law, which requires that mental health beneﬁts be equal to medical or surgical healthcare beneﬁts, the same is also true for mental health care. For more information about mental health coverage, visit the TRICARE website.

‘Recruit Reboot’ war game includes ﬂeet Sailors in recruit training process Naval Service Training Command Public Affairs GREAT LAKES

Gameplay begins today for the new interactive Recruit Reboot war game that evaluates the most effective training practices at Recruit Training Command (RTC), the Navy’s only boot camp. Recruit Reboot is an opportunity for Sailors in the fleet to impact how their future shipmates are trained. Registration will remain open at https://mmowgli.nps.edu/ recruitreboot/ until May 13. “We are listening,” said Rear Adm. Stephen C. Evans, commander, Naval Service Training Command. “And good ideas go a long way to help us train better.” Recruit Reboot is a completely anonymous game on the Massive Multiplayer Online War Game Leveraging the Internet (MMOWGLI) platform, generated by the Navy Post-Graduate School and NSTC to use feedback commentary to help solve challenges. “Receiving the best training, from the moment you begin your Navy career, guarantees the fleet will be armed with the most professional and technical Sailors possible,” said Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Mike D. Stevens in a recent video public service announcement aired on American Forces Network. “I truly believe our Navy’s greatest weapon system is our people, so we must ensure they are exceptionally well trained.” Players provide feedback by playing “idea cards” on six areas of training including Militarization, Damage Control, Seamanship, Personal Financial Development, Policy, and Watch Standing. Players earn points with each card they play as well as by commenting on other players’ cards. “The more cards you play, the more points you earn,” said Evans. “The more points you earn, the more you help us provide the most effective training for our future shipmates.” The player with the most points will be commended for their positive contribution to naval accessions training. Although player points are displayed, their feedback will remain anonymous. At RTC, Command Master Chief Shawn Isbell said in his own PSA that “we are constantly looking for ways to better our training so we can send you the best possible new Sailors. We are asking for your help – we want to hear from you about what training has worked well and what training could use a ‘Reboot.’” NSTC first used the MMOWGLI platform to initiate fleet feedback for a Human Performance Requirements Review in April, 2015 to analyze and validate the Professional Core Competency Manual, standardized criteria all officer accession programs use to accomplish training. Sign up on the website to play or ask your chief petty officer for the Recruit Reboot flyer for more information.

NAVY CALLS FOR ALLHANDS PARTICIPATION IN NATIONAL TAKE BACK DAY Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs MILLINGTON, TENN.

Misuse and abuse of prescription drugs is a serious health threat, and a threat to ﬂeet readiness. The Navy is participating in the Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, April 30. The event offers Navy personnel and their families a safe venue to turn in expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs to a local drop-off site anonymously and free of charge. Through Take-Back Days, Navy personnel can take a proactive role in preventing the misuse and abuse of prescription drugs. “When prescription medications fall into the wrong hands, they have serious health and career consequences,” Navy Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Ofﬁce Deputy Director LaNorfeia Parker said. “Take-Back Day should be an all-hands event, where we each have the chance to protect our Sail-

ors and their families.” Sailors can ﬁnd information about whether their military treatment facilities (MTFs) are participating by contacting the hospitals directly. While participation at MTFs is encouraged, Sailors and their family members can also drop off unused or expired medications at participating sites in their local communities. Collection sites in local communities can be found by visiting the DEA’s Ofﬁce of Diversion Control and searching for local collector locations. Local law enforcement, military security, and MTF staff can support this DEA initiative by hosting a Take-Back program on base or in their local community.

Toledo returns from 7-month deployment By MCC Steve Owsley Naval Submarine Support Center, New London Public Affairs

GROTON, CONN.

Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarine USS Toledo (SSN 769) returned to Naval Submarine Base New London following a regularly scheduled deployment, April 25. Under the command of Toledo, Ohio, native Cmdr. Michael Majewski, Toledo and crew returned from a deployment to U.S. Central Command area of responsibility where they executed the chief of naval operations’ maritime strategy in supporting national security interests and maritime security operations. “The crew performed amazingly well,” Majewski said. “When we found out that we were extended on deployment, everyone took it in stride and rose to the challenge, because everyone on the crew knows how important the mission is.” While on deployment Toledo steamed approximately 31,000 nautical miles, equal to nearly 1.5 trips around the world at the equator or just over six round trips from New London, Connecticut, to San Diego. Toledo conducted port visits in Manama, Bahrain; Rota, Spain; Toulon, France; Jebel Ali, United Arab Emirates; Duqm, Oman; and Souda Bay, Greece. Like Toledo and her crew, loved ones attending the homecoming also traveled great distances – some as far away as Washington, Oregon and California.

In a long-standing naval tradition, the first Sailors to meet their families were two new fathers who held their children for the first time. Kelsey Smith gave the first kiss to her husband, Electrician’s Mate 2nd Class James Smith. Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class Clint Van De Water’s family made the most of the first hug. Van De Water’s wife, Melissa, watched as the family’s four children, ranging in age from ages 3-10, embraced their father in a group hug. Melissa said it was an amazing experience. “We missed him so much over the past seven months,” she said, “This is our second deployment and a perfect ending to his four and a half years on Toledo.” Fast-attack submarines are multi-mission platforms enabling five of the six Navy maritime strategy core capabilities – sea control, power projection, forward presence, maritime security, and deterrence. The submarine is designed to excel in anti-submarine warfare, anti-ship warfare, strike warfare, special operations, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, irregular warfare and mine warfare – from open ocean anti-submarine warfare and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, to projecting power ashore with special operation forces and Tomahawk cruise missiles in the prevention of or preparation for regional crises.

Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 5 Sailors completed the airfield damage repair (ADR) portion of their field training exercise (FTX), April 21. The event tested the battalion’s ability to repair runways and other airfield facilities following a simulated attack by an enemy force. A 12hour stand-alone project during previous FTXs, this ADR exercise spanned three days and involved a majority of the battalion. The Seabees combed an expeditionary runway to assess the damage from a simulated rocket attack, and working together with Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Mobile Unit 3, identified and allowed EOD to properly dispose of unexploded ordnance while Sailors assigned to Naval Construction Group (NCG) 1 evaluated their proficiency. “Working with EOD brought a lot more realism to the training and just

UT3 Stephen Sisler

added authenticity to the situation,” Equipment Operator 3rd Class Patrick Heng said. After assessing damage and EODMU 3 Sailors removed unexploded ordnance, NMCB 5’s ADR team worked within a timeline of eight hours to fill and compact various craters created by the simulated attack, install bolted fiberglass panels, and place concrete patches. “This is probably the first battalion that has done as much training has they have done this homeport prior to coming out here so [NMCB 5] was very well prepared coming out here,” NCG 1 lead ADR instructor Builder 1st Class Richard Turgeon said. “Each day they knocked about an hour off their time. Even the last day when we threw a night scenario with more damage they still repaired it just over five hours.” During the repair exercise, the ADR team also built a concrete vertical takeoff or landing (VTOL) pad and a 10,000-gallon fuel storage bladder for refueling aircraft. “ADR is a valuable tool in our ar-

senal that will prepare us to react to ongoing events in the world, and deal with challenges that the enemy may throw at us.” Heng said. The exercise marked a renewed focus on ADR for the Seabees, although it is not new. Seabees have constructed and repaired airfields throughout their history, beginning in WWII. Implementing ADR in the FTX ensures the skills needed to repair damaged airfields remains a core competency of deployed Seabee units. “The ADR mission is a battalion level responsibility, and NMCB 5 was successful in bringing the entire NMCB’s resources to bear to accomplish that mission,” NCG 1 training exercise officer Lt. Eric Truemper said. The FTX prepares and tests the battalion’s ability to enter hostile locations, build assigned construction projects and defend against enemy attacks using realistic scenarios in a controlled environment. The exercise is the last qualification for NMCB 5 prior to receiving certification to deploy.

U.S. cyber commander speaks at Naval Academy on future of cyber operations By MCSN Brianna Jones U.S. Naval Academy Public Affairs

ANNAPOLIS, MD.

Commander of U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) Adm. Michael S. Rogers spoke at the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) in Annapolis as part of the Cyber Lecture Series, April 26. Rogers addressed more than 600 midshipmen about the critical role cyber operations will play throughout their naval careers. “Not everyone is going to be a hardcore cyber professional, but I believe increasingly that in the world we live in, there is a fundamental level of knowledge that we all must have of cyber operations,” Rogers said. “[Cyber] is that pervasive, it’s that foundational.” Rogers, an Auburn University graduate, received his commission in the Naval Reserve Ofﬁcers Training Corps. Originally a surface warfare ofﬁcer, he was later selected for redesignation to cryptology, now information warfare. Rogers emphasized that cyber operations, at its core, is a mission set

that is powered by men and women – that USCYBERCOM’s greatest edge is not its technology but the intellectual power of the highly skilled and trained people who make up the cyber community. Rogers underscored the critical role of leadership in cyberspace, posing the question, “How do you train commanders at the unit level and above to understand both the implications of cyber threats to their ability to execute their mission as well as how do you apply cyber capability?” Rogers added, the future success of the U.S. military’s cyber operations relies on recruiting well-trained, adept individuals to stay on the cutting edge of this ever evolving field. Twenty-seven midshipmen in the class of 2016 will be the first to graduate from the USNA with degrees in cyber operations. Rogers reminded these midshipmen that because their field is still in the development stage, they will be shaping the future for USCYBERCOM. “As cyber operations officers, you will be building the future for the nation and our entire workforce,” he said. “You will be creating some-

thing new every day and developing a skill set that no one has ever seen before.” According to Rogers, most people spend their naval career in fields that have been fully developed by the hard work of men and women who came before them. But for those who work in the cyber operations field, they are trailblazing a new path and molding the future for the Navy and the nation. “The midshipmen at USNA are at the forefront of this developing field,” Rogers said. “They are the future of the Navy and will be the minds developing new technologies for the fleet that will keep our nation and our citizens safe.” USNA immediately recognized the critical role that cyber operations would serve in support of DOD missions, and has led the way with a series of projects, including the development of the new cyber operations major, adding required cyber classes to the overall curriculum for all midshipmen and, ultimately, the construction of the academy’s Center for Cyber Security Studies, scheduled to begin later this year.

Navy leader passes away, leaves legacy in surface warfare community By MC2 Charlotte Oliver Defense Media Activity

FORT MEADE, MD.

Retired Vice Adm. Henry C. Mustin passed away April 11 from congestive heart failure at age 82. The U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, will hold funeral services at the Academy Chapel to honor Mustin and his 34-year service to the Navy. A fifth generation naval officer, Mustin commissioned as an ensign from the Naval Academy June 3, 1955. “From as far back as the 1800s, the Mustin family name has been synonymous with a legacy of service in our Navy,” Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson said. Arleigh Burke-class guidedmissile destroyer USS Mustin (DDG 89) is named for the Mustin family. The Vietnam veteran served with the Delta River Patrol Group as flag lieutenant to the commander in chief Pacific and later as a destroyerman serving at sea both in the Pacific and Atlantic Fleets.

“His forward-leaning approach to warﬁghting was instrumental in the development of numerous shipboard and weapons technologies,” Richardson said. “Vice Adm. Mustin took strong hold of the naval legacy passed to him by both his father and grandfather, cementing into history a continued family drive for ingenuity and service to country.” Some of those naval developments and ﬂeet introductions include the Tomahawk cruise missile, standard missile (SM) 2, Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System helicopters, and the Ticonderogaclass Aegis guided-missile cruisers. He was also instrumental in the initial requirements for Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers. Mustin directed all U.S. Navy arms control planning, including negotiations with the Soviet Union and led high level U.S. interagency delegations to Moscow; London; Paris; Lisbon, Portugal; Oslo, Norway; and Seoul, Republic of Korea. He also served as the senior U.S. military rep-

Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany hosts solar groundbreaking ceremony Ofﬁce of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations and Environment WASHINGTON

The Department of the Navy (DON) and Georgia Power, a Southern Company subsidiary, broke ground April 28 on a large-scale solar facility at Marine Corps Logistics Base (MCLB) Albany in Georgia. Expected to be one of the largest solar facilities in the state, the facility will have a production capacity of up to 44 megawatts (MW) of direct current power – 31 MW alternating current. The facility will cover 150 acres of land with 138,000 solar panels, which will be able to power the equivalent of up to 5,000 homes. Georgia Power will build, own, operate and maintain the solar facility at MCLB Albany, which will generate electricity for its electric grid. The utility company anticipates the solar facility to be online and producing power within a year. Notable groundbreaking ceremony presenters and attendees included Dennis V. McGinn, assistant secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations and Environment; Lt. Gen. Michael G. Dana, deputy commandant of the Marine Corps, Installations and Logistics; Col. James C. Carroll III, MCLB Albany commanding officer; Kenneth E. Coleman, senior vice president of marketing for Georgia Power; and Lauren “Bubba” McDonald Jr., Georgia Public Service commissioner and vice-chair. “This project, our second collaboration with Georgia Power, will help to enhance the energy security of MCLB Albany,” McGinn said. “It is these partnerships that have yielded such high value for the Department of the Navy, our installations and the surrounding communities. As we begin to tighten our focus on energy resiliency, these projects will be the foundation of energy security on our bases.” “This project will generate solar energy as part of a diverse generation mix, while providing security for the base and a positive economic impact in the local community,” Coleman said. “The projects we are developing on our state’s military bases are great examples of renewable energy growth being driven by collaboration and innovative partnerships.” “The Marine Corps is known for implementing our Energy Ethos vision within our ranks. We know that making efficient use of our energy resources is critical to our mission readiness. This solar facility extends that ethos to energy resiliency,” Dana said. “We are excited for this and other energy projects on base aimed at making the installation more resilient.” “At MCLB Albany, we are fortunate to be collaborating with this group of military and private entities,” Carroll said. “We have all been working together toward the same goal--to provide an unprecedented capacity for continuity of operations furthering grid stability.” The Marine Corps and the Navy have been leaders in energy innovation and deployment of renewable energy on DON installations continues to strengthen the DON’s warfighting capabilities. The next step for the DON will be exploring the next level of energy technology advances such as battery storage, electrification, fuel cells and microgrids to further enhance the DON’s energy security, operational capability, strategic flexibility and resource availability.

Navy helps usher in next generation of STEM at Conrad Challenge By MC3 Brandon Martin Navy Recruiting Command Public Affairs

MC3 Brandon Martin Capt. Dave Bouve, advertising and marketing department head at Navy Recruiting Command, poses with a participants at the 2016 Spirit of Innovation Conrad Challenge at Kennedy Space Center, Apr. 22.

COCOA BEACH, FLA.

Four Navy officers served as judges in the 2016 Spirit of Innovation Conrad Challenge at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, April 20-23. The Conrad Spirit of Innovation Challenge is an annual, multiphase innovation and entrepreneurial competition that brings in teams of high school students from around the world who invent, design, create and promote inventions in one of four fields: aerospace and aviation, cyber technology and security, energy and environment, and health and nutrition. The event kicked off with the participants, also known as diplomats, giving their first round of power pitches. A power pitch is the name for the presentation the teams gave about their individual inventions or prototypes. These pitches were judged by a group of experts for accuracy, originality and marketability. After their preliminary pitches, the teams had to give their presentations in front of their fellow competitors and a panel of judges including the Navy officers. The second round of pitches was judged based on the style, content and delivery of the presentation. “The presentations were very advanced and complicated and I think what impressed me the most was how thoughtful the students were in approaching problems that were current and applicable to things that we face today,” a Medical Corps fellow at the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery in Falls Church, Virginia – and judge of the Health and Nutrition panel – Lt. Cmdr. Jami J. Peterson said. The first set of presentations was in the category of cyber technology, immediately followed by the aerospace and aviation portion. During the presentations, the Navy judges

were able to see and critique some of the newest innovations in their ﬁelds of study. “The prototypes were pretty well thought out and obviously they spent a lot of time researching what they needed to build and they succeeded tremendously,” staff member from the Ofﬁce of Naval Intelligence – and

judge on the cyber technology and security panel – Lt. Cmdr. Christopher T. Coy said. “One of my favorites was the HeatRescue, a device that allows you to tell if there is a living being in a hot car without needing to be around the vehicle.” Following the power pitches, participants visited the Apollo/Saturn V Center and took a tour of the center to learn the history behind the many space explorations that led to the 1969 moon landing. Along with the tour, the diplomats were also given the opportunity to listen to a variety of speakers from various backgrounds, including Director of Marketing and Advertising at Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) Capt. Dave Bouve. “It was a real pleasure and an honor visiting the Kennedy Space Center, the site where so much history happened and where the Navy has had the great fortune to provide so much of a contribution to our space program,” Bouve said. “The energy, intelligence, optimism and creativity these young adults displayed was inspiring. The real trick is making sure we continue to effectively communicate the Navy message, because the better we are able to capture the attention and aspiration of young adults like this, the better off our Navy is going to be.” From there, diplomats had the chance to have a group conversation with resident Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex astronaut retired Capt. Jon McBride. McBride discussed his experiences as an astronaut and ﬁelded questions from the audience about his vision for the future of space exploration. After the chat with McBride, the teams began giving their second power pitch in

the field of energy and environment, which was followed by pitches in the field of health and nutrition. “Interests in the areas of [science, technology, engineering and mathematics] are so important,” Director of Submarine and Nuclear Accessions at NRC – and judge for the energy and environment panel – Cmdr. Kenneth Roman said. “The Conrad Challenge is really an opportunity for the students to present these innovative ideas and push this area forward. [Science, technology, engineering and mathematics], being an important field in the Navy, we need individuals coming up that are able to do the research and operate these amazing pieces of machinery.” Following the second set of power pitches, diplomats engaged in a group discussion on how to improve communication in the community and the means for making lasting connections. As part of the Conrad Challenge, guests were given a chance to take part in the Space Shuttle Atlantis Exhibit. From there, the diplomats and their families and coaches were able to listen to a variety of guest speakers. The event concluded with the announcement of the winners and award ceremony. Taking first place in the aerospace and aviation category was Team Noodles with their Sixth Sense Helmet, an invention designed to help filter out toxic chemicals in space. In the cyber technology and security category, Team Kosmos took first place with an invention that allowed first responders the ability to be able to access a patient’s medical records from an app to provide the best care possible. Team Firebird took gold in the energy and environment category with their NaSoPod, an invention designed to absorb heat from the sun during the daytime and release that heat inside of a home in the evening. In the final category of health and nutrition, Team Ilm earned top honors for their invention DStress, an invention designed to lower stress levels in patients and improve overall health. “New opportunities are emerging all the time for everyone and whether you are a student or in the military, as you leave I encourage you to continue to learn and continue your education,” former NASA astronaut and current Director of Innovation at the U.S. Naval Academy – and judge for the aerospace and aviation panel – Capt. Kathryn P. Hire said. “Always work to hone your skills because you never know when a great opportunity is going to come your way and we need people who are willing and ready to take those strides into the future.”

In addition, heritage events as well as staff- and civilian-level training sessions were conducted. USS Decatur won the best T-shirt competition. USS Mustin and USS Wisconsin shared the best board design win and USS Halsey was awarded for the most participation in the 5K color run.

Moran said to an audience of Sailors and DOD civilians at the base theater. Part of the discussion focused on advancement opportunities in the information warfare community. “Over the last ﬁve to ten years, we’ve been able to stabilize our advancements rates to a very nice position,” Moran said. “However, some rates go up and down depending on pay grade. So, over the last three years we’ve taken a closer look at how to get more predictability in advancement rates.”

Do Your Part The second event was a self-defense workshop, designed to teach the men and women at NHRC skills to fend off an attack, but more importantly, how to prevent one. Sexual assault can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. Everyone has a role in ending sexual violence. Self-defense helps individuals become more aware of their surroundings and conscious of the fact that they do not have to feel helpless in any situation. “The self-defense class was useful because it’s not just about physically protecting yourself, but also knowing how to keep yourself out of dangerous situations,” preventive medicine physician at NHRC and command SAPR point of contact Lt. Cmdr. Lori Perry said. “Situational awareness and how you carry yourself can be just as important as knowing how to physically ward off an attack.” According to Laird, self-defense class participants often report feeling more prepared in case of a violent attack or a sexual assault. They also report feeling more empowered in everyday situations – like when walking at night. Self-defense teaches tips to reduce vulnerability to attack by making participants more aware of their surroundings and teaching them how to react to a variety of situations. “The goal of self-defense is to provide participants with response options to an attack,” Laird said. “Parts of the class are geared speciﬁcally towards countering sexual assault. Research involving women who have survived sexual violence have shown that women who yelled, or used active physical resistance, were more likely to avoid a completed sexual assault. Of those women who reported using physical resistance during an assault, a majority reported that they felt it either helped the situation or did not make the situation any worse. “It is important to remember that sexual assault is never the victim’s fault, even if they did not resist,” Laird added. “Only the perpetrator, the person who committed the crime of sexual assault, is at fault.” We All Play a Part in Preventing Sexual Assault In addition to self-defense, an important component of preventing sexual assault is knowing when to act – when service members witness a crime or inappropriate behavior taking place, stepping in to prevent it can stop it. “Each member of our Navy community has a unique role in preventing and responding to sexual assault,” Laird said. “Bystander intervention is a key prevention approach, which involves interrupting situations that could lead to sexual assault, using both direct and indirect strategies.” According to Laird, although sexual assault awareness and prevention is a year-round effort in the Navy, SAAPM is a time when both military and civilian sexual assault organizations engage their respective communities in these efforts. “SAAPM provides an opportunity for the sexual assault prevention and response team to address sexual violence by engaging the Navy community through awareness and prevention-focused events and activities,” Laird said. “The events held throughout the Navy in April provide an opportunity not only to raise awareness and promote prevention, but also to challenge existing social norms and beliefs.” As the DOD’s premier deployment health research center, NHRC’s cutting-edge research and development is used to optimize the operational health and readiness of the nation’s armed forces. In proximity to more than 95,000 active-duty service members, world-class universities, and industry partners, NHRC sets the standard in joint ventures, innovation, and translational research.

WWII Liberty Ship SS John W. Brown will sail into Norfolk for living history cruise By Denise M. Watson

if you go

The Virginian-Pilot

What John W. Brown Liberty ship open for tours â– When 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday, May 20 and Saturday, May 21. Last visitor aboard at 4 p.m.; ship closes to visitors at 6pm. â– Cost Free

During WWII, the Liberty ship John W. Brown pushed through the Mediterranean Sea and Persian Gulf, bearing everything from men to meat to munitions in an effort to bring a victory for the Allies. Later this month, the ship will slice through the Elizabeth River to bring a chunk of that past to Norfolk. The Brown, now a ďŹ‚oating museum in Baltimore, will be in Norfolk for its Living History Cruise. It will have re-enactors portraying the U.S. Navy Armed Guard, who protected the ship, and entertainers such as the Andrew Sisters and comedy duo Abbott and Costello. After lunch, a â€œsurpriseâ€? attack by a Japanese Zero might ensue. The trip back in time, however, is to help keep the boat aďŹ‚oat now. The Brown is one of only two functioning Liberty ships that remain from the more than 2,700 that were built to support the war effort. The other, the Jeremiah Oâ€™Brien, is berthed in San Francisco. The ships were designed as simple cargo steamers that could be put together in an average of 42 days, in shipyards from Portland, Oregon, to Portland, Maine. President Franklin D. Roosevelt remarked, â€œSheâ€™ll carry a good load. She isnâ€™t much to look at, though, is she? A real ugly duckling.â€? So the ships got the â€œugly ducklingâ€? nickname, but were known as Liberty ships. The ďŹ rst one completed was named after Virginian Patrick Henry, the Revolutionary War patriot who famously

Living History Cruise â– When: Sunday, May 22, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m â– Cost $148 per person. Family of four, discounted rate of $125. Processing fees apply. â– The deadline to purchase tickets is Saturday, May 7. For tickets and more information, visit www.ssjohnwbrown.org

declared, â€œGive me liberty or give me death.â€? The Brown was named after a Maine labor leader who died in 1941, a year before the ship was completed. While perhaps basic, the Liberty ships transported two-thirds of all cargo that left the U.S during the war, according to Project Liberty Ship, the nonproďŹ t that maintains the Brown. The Brown could carry as much as 300 railroad boxcars worth of goods, including 500 men. â€œThereâ€™s no plane that could touch that; thatâ€™s quite a lot of cargo,â€? Duff Porter III of Portsmouth said, who has volunteered to work on the Brown since 1991. â€œFor every Soldier in the ďŹ eld, you have four people behind him providing supplies.â€?

Porter, 72, tried to get into the Navy many years back but ďŹ‚unked the physical. He started working as an apprentice at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in 1964. He retired 35 years later. A friend called him and asked if he wanted to tag along on a â€œmatronâ€? voyage of the Brown. He did. â€œI made some new friends, made some old, and I got hooked.â€? Porter sails as part of the engine department and travels 12 to 15 times a year to Baltimore to help on the ship. The vessel is more than a museum. It is a living memorial to merchant mariners and military veterans, Porter said. The current crew, including the captain, is volunteer. The group hunts for grants, accepts donations and holds fundraisers for maintenance and upkeep, such as fuel costs to bring the ship to Norfolk. Every ďŹ ve years, the Brown travels to Colonnaâ€™s Shipyard in Norfolk for repairs. That price tag is usually around $1 million. The ship does two to four Living History cruises a year, another way to bring in money. In September, the Brown will travel to New York for one. Before the cruise in Norfolk, the Brown will be docked at the Half Moone Cruise and Celebration Center near Nauticus and open for tours. â€œEvery American ought to take that trip,â€? Porter said. â€œItâ€™s a wonderful ship. â€œAccording to the assessments of Eisenhower, Churchill, Montgomery, almost everyone would tell you that we couldnâ€™t have done it without them. These ships really won the war.â€? This story originally appeared in The Virginian-Pilot.

Great brunch recipes for your next Sunday brunch by Janet Tharpe JustAPinch

One of the girls in the Test Kitchen was saying she has a standing monthly Sunday brunch date with a few friends. Itâ€™s a way for them to check out new restaurants, but also to catch up on everything thatâ€™s happening. We started talking about next month hosting brunch at a friends house and what recipes would be big hits. I like to serve a quiche at my brunch. They are easy to prepare and are impressive. A favorite is Desiree Macyâ€™s, from Ft. Myers, Florida, Crustless Ricotta Quiche (vegetarian). â€œThis is such a light and ďŹ‚uffy quiche,â€? Desiree says. Desireeâ€™s quiche is lovely. When I tested this, I chose not to add in the meats to keep it vegetarian. And it was wonderful! I like that this is gluten-free for friends who have a sensitivity. But, if you wanted to add some ham or ground sausage that would be delicious too. â€œThis is the best spinach quiche I have ever had,â€? exclaims Katrina Freed, from Newark, Delaware, of her Kitty Spinach Quiche recipe. â€œI usually make my own crust, but if you want a faster, easier quiche I am sure a purchased pastry shell will do the job.â€? Iâ€™m all about shortcuts, but, honestly, itâ€™s not very hard to create the crust if you follow Katrinaâ€™s recipe. The outcome is worth it. This scrumptious quiche has a perfect blend of ďŹ‚avors â€“ bacon, onion, spinach, and ooey gooey cheese. Yum, oh yum. Tammy Wadeâ€™s, from Lees Summit, Missouri, Crabby Patty Brunch Bake is a different type of brunch casserole and itâ€™s delicious! â€œIf you wake up crabby in the morning, you wonâ€™t be for long ... this goodie will happy-fy you,â€? Tammy jokes. The half and half along with the red and green peppers really contribute to the awesome ďŹ‚avor of this recipe. If you like crab, add this to your next brunch. Itâ€™ll be a hit! â€œThis Asparagus Omelette is one of my favorite breakfast/ brunch recipes because it is so ďŹ‚avorful and quick and easy to make,â€? shares Teresa G., from Lewisburg, Kentucky. With it being asparagus season, fresh stalks are readily available and add a slight crunch. I love the prosciutto in here. It elevates this simple omelette. Rebecca Evans, from Danville, California, Dutch Apple Baby with Blackberry Hoisin Bacon is the perfect sweet and savory combination. â€œServed with additional blackberry syrup and a piping hot cup of coffee, the recipe is scrumptious,â€? Rebecka says. I really like how the bacon

Check us out online!

is basted with blackberry jam, hoisin sauce, and brown sugar. It creates the best ďŹ‚avor and takes the bacon to a whole new level. Butter and brown sugar caramelize the apples and is a great contrast to the bacon. A Dutch Baby is basically a fancy pancake everyone will love. Want to add some sweets to the menu? Try Cindy Graulâ€™s, from Wyncote, Pennsylvania, Raspberry Honey-Walnut Crescent Rolls or Jacquelyn Liminaâ€™s, from Duquesne, Pennsylvania, Easy Delicious Pull-Apart Sticky Buns. Both

are delicious. â€œThese little tidbits are a delicious bite of sweet and savory,â€? Cindy thinks. â€œThe nuttiness combined with fruit and cream is sure to be a showstopper when company comes over.â€? The best part of this recipe is you can make them in about ďŹ ve minutes with ingredients

you probably have in the fridge. Guests will love these goodies! Jacquelynâ€™s recipe is super simple and oh so good! â€œI needed to do something that was easy and simple for dessert one night and I came up with these,â€? Jacquelyn explains. â€œPlus I needed to use up some cans of refrigerated biscuits.â€? Caramel sauce adds just the right amount of ooey, gooey goodness to these treats. While Jacquelyn made these for dessert, I think theyâ€™d be perfect for brunch too.

Captain America: Civil War With many people fearing the actions of super heroes, the government decides to push for the Anti-Hero Registration Act, a law that limits a heroes actions. This results in a division in The Avengers. Iron Man stands with this Act, claiming that their actions must be kept in check otherwise cities will continue to be destroyed, but Captain America feels that saving the world is daring enough and that they cannot rely on the government to protect the world. This escalates into an allout war between Team Iron Man (Iron Man, Black Panther, Vision, Black Widow, War Machine, and Spiderman) and Team Captain America (Captain America, Bucky Barnes, Falcon, Sharon Carter, Scarlett Witch, Hawkeye, and Ant Man) while a new villain emerges.

Adrienne Warren, a 2005 graduate of The Governor’s School for the Arts, has been nominated for a Tony Award for her performance in the musical “Shuffle Along, Or the making of The Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed.” The show, which revives the Jazz Age musical and tells the story of how it was created, also features six-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald and is directed by George Wolf, with choreography by Savion Glover. Governor’s School Executive Director Andrea Warren – also known as Adrienne’s Mom – said her daughter called her first thing Tuesday morning to tell her she had been nominated for best actress in a musical. “She called me before I could call her,” said Warren, who was watching the nominations as they were announced. “She was crying, I was crying, my husband was yelling!” The only one who didn’t seem to understand the significance of their daughter’s nomination was the family dog, which “just kind of looked at me funny,” her mom joked. “My husband and I have been floating all day,” Warren added. The show received 10 nominations, including best musical, best book of a musical and best performance by an actor in a musical. It is the first Tony Award nomination for the Governor’s School. Before Tuesday morning’s excitement, the Warrens learned that Adrienne also has been nominated for a 2016 Fred and Adele Astaire Award in the outstanding female dancer category. Her daughter seems to have been on this path since infancy, her mother said. “We realized when she was really, really young she could get on beats,” Warren said. “She could bounce right on beat. She’s been singing and performing ever since she was 3.” Dance classes at age 3 led to the

Hurrah Players, where she trained under Hugh Copeland, Warren said. Adrienne Warren became the first African-American locally to be cast in the role of Annie. She attended the Governor’s School while also attending Western Branch High School in Chesapeake. She was a theater major with a musical theater minor at Marymount Manhattan College in New York. “This has been her path for a long time,” Warren said. “She’s been really fortunate. She did ‘The Wiz,’ right out of college understudying Ashanti.” She also was in “Dreamgirls” on tour, starting at The Apollo Theater in New York. Her Broadway debut came in 2012 in “Bring It On: The Musical.” “She’s a hard worker,” Warren said of her daughter. “I love it when people tell me she’s just a good person. That means everything to me when people tell me that. But this is a nice icing on the cake too.” The mother and daughter talked by phone again Tuesday morning as Warren drove to work in Norfolk. Her daughter had to fill her in on the Met Gala she attended Monday night. Warren, who has seen “Shuffle Along” four times, said it’s too soon to know whether she’ll be able to attend the Tony Awards with her daughter when they are presented on June 12. She has decided one thing: if her daughter gets only two tickets, she’ll be getting the other one, she joked. And she also gave her another important reminder: “don’t forget your mom when you win these awards.” This article originally appeared in The Virginian-Pilot.

BRAD KESELOWSKI TAKES THE CHECKERED FLAG AT TALLADEGA By Rick Minter Universal Uclick

Brad Keselowski’s fourth career Sprint Cup victory at Talladega Superspeedway, in last Sunday’s GEICO 500, was much like his ﬁrst at Talladega back in 2009. Both races saw some nasty crashes, with cars going airborne and questions arising about the dangers of racing at the 2.66-mile superspeedway. In 2009, Keselowski was involved in a lastlap crash that saw Carl Edwards ﬂy into the catchfence, with debris injuring several fans, as Keselowski continued on to victory. This year, the last-lap melee occurred behind Keselowski, and the fences, beefed up since 2009, likely kept the wrecks involving Kevin Harvick and A.J. Allmendinger from putting fans at risks. With the wrecking in his rear-view mirror, Keselowski prevailed over Kyle Busch, Austin Dillon, Jamie McMurray and pole-

sitter Chase Elliott. The last-lap wreck wasn’t the only incident that revved up the safety debate. All told, more than 30 of the 40 drivers were involved in one or more incidents during the race. On Lap 97, an incident on the backstretch sent Chris Buescher’s No. 34 Ford on a barrel roll down the track. He was uninjured, but was dejected afterward. “I am pretty sick and tired of speedway racing at this point,” he said. A wreck on Lap 162 involved 21 drivers, and another on Lap 182 collected 12, including Danica Patrick, who slammed hard into the wall, and Matt Kenseth, who got airborne before landing upside down on the inside wall. Joey Logano, also knocked out in the ﬁnal wreck, saw his race end in a wreck for the second day in a row after wrecking in Saturday’s Xﬁnity Series race. “A couple of big hits, so I can’t wait to get out of this place,” he said.

UFC

‘Bigfoot’ going back to his roots vs Struve By Jordan Newmark Special to UFC.com

On May 8, the Octagon will make its first appearance in the Netherlands with UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Arlovski. In the co-main event, the #12-ranked UFC heavyweight Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva will take on Stefan Struve in the home country of the “Skyscraper.” “He’s a very nice young man,” Silva said of Struve. “We had the opportunity to have dinner together once before. We’re friends on social media. We both follow each other. I have seen him a couple of times [in Florida], but because of the fight we don’t keep in touch.” In sheer physicality, the matchup between Bigfoot and Skyscraper is highly interesting, but there’s also an outside of the Octagon connection between the two as far as personality, martial arts journey, and where they are in their UFC careers. The 38-year-old from Brasilia, Brazil spent his formative years in the sport training in his home country, later in England at Wolfslair MMA Academy and eventually settled in the “Sunshine State” as a member of the world-renowned American Top Team. Meanwhile, Silva’s opponent trained for years in his home of the Netherlands before joining the Blackzilians team in Boca Raton, which is about a 22minute drive from ATT without traffic. “There is an honor to fight and not lose to a Blackzilian,” Silva said. “It’s nothing personal. I am not his friend, I am not his enemy. It’s about

business. And I want to win this fight. When the fight is finished, we can go on with our life and be friends.” Besides being born in different hemispheres and now living in the same community because of a similar pursuit of the UFC heavyweight championship, Silva and Struve have fought their last two fights on the same cards with related results. Bigfoot scored a second-round knockout of Soa Palelei at UFC 190 then lost by first round knockout to Mark Hunt at UFC 193. Struve won a unanimous decision over Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 190 before losing by unanimous decision to Jared Rosholt at UFC 193. “We’re both coming off losses and we both need to win,” Silva said. “No doubt about it, the fans should expect an amazing fight. We are two big fighters – huge in size – and we’re both going to look for the finish. It’s going to be an amazing match. We’re both looking for the finish.” And they both will go for it, early and often, because that is what Silva and Struve have done time and time again. Across Bigfoot’s 28-fight pro career, he has gone the distance a total of four times and only one of those decisions occurred in the past six years. That lone decision was one of the greatest heavyweight bouts in UFC history, as Hunt and Silva battled to an incredible draw in December 2013. As for his opponent, Struve has had 38 pro fights with 23 of his 30 wins ending before the final horn. With a 19-8, 1 NC pro record including 15 knockouts, Silva is focused not only on getting the win, but also

Even Kyle Busch, who ﬁnished second, was critical of the style of racing that occurs at Talladega, where restrictor plates are used to slow top speeds. One way drivers compensate for reduced speeds is by pushing each other, which makes both cars go faster, but also contributes to more wrecks. “It’s just Talladega,” he said. “It is what it is. These cars, you try to get a little bit aggressive, start bumping people and pushing people, they’re real easy to get out of control.” Kyle Busch, the defending Series champion, said that since he already has two wins this season and is assured of a berth in the championship-deciding Chase again this year, said he’d just as soon take the Talladega weekend off. “I hate it,” he said. “I’d much rather sit at home. I’ve got a win. I don’t need to be here.” Third-place Austin Dillon — despite significant damage to his car — recorded his best

finish of the season and his third top-5, said he is confident that series officials will have a solution in place before the next restrictor-plate race, at Daytona in July. Last July, Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet flew into the fence and literally was ripped to shreds, as were portions of the fence, but he escaped injury. “We all have to do it. I don’t know how many really love it,” Dillon said. “But I know our moms and wives and girlfriends — they don’t like it because they’ve got to watch their loved ones put themselves in situations they don’t like. It’s part of the game, speedway racing, always has been. Hopefully, we can figure something out to help keep them on the ground.” For his part, Keselowski did a masterful job of hanging on to the lead of the race, even as others behind him teamed up in the draft in an attempt to overtake him. He said being at the front of the pack helped keep him out of harm’s way.

No doubt about it, the fans should expect an amazing fight. We are two big fighters – huge in size – and we’re both going to look for the finish.” -Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva

improving his already powerful striking. Besides working his ground skills with Roan Carneiro, Silva has been hitting the mitts with ATT’s boxing coach Kelson Pinto, whose work with teammate Santiago Ponzinibbio has been on full display in his past two first-round knockout wins. “Fans are going to see Bigfoot Silva going back to his roots – looking for the victory all the time,” Silva said. “Stefan is an amazing fighter. He’s a very good fighter who knows a lot of jiu-jitsu and a lot of kickboxing. Even though I respect the kid a lot, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. I have fought guys that have beaten Struve. It gives me more confidence because I beat fighters that beat Stefan.” To be exact, Silva owns wins over two fighters who have beaten Struve: Travis Browne and Alistair Overeem. These commonalities between Silva and Struve only add intrigue to the possibilities when the two tangle inside the Octagon. This Sunday Rotterdam, two heavyweights’ shared interests will collide as Bigfoot meets Skyscraper to see who will get their hand raised inside the Octagon.
