An act of gratitude

By MC1 Theodore Green The Flagship Staff

NORFOLK

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service.

The day was born out of the Civil War and a desire to honor the dead with an act of selfless gratitude.

According to the website usmemorialday.org, Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5, 1868, by the National Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic Gen. John Logan. It was first observed on May 30, 1868, when

flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate Soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.

“The thirtieth of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land,” Logan proclaimed.

With the passage of the National Holiday Act of 1971, it became a federal holiday observed by a grateful nation honoring the loss of those who served.

NORFOLK

The amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5) hosted a dedication ceremony in honor of Alcide “Bull” Benini, a WWII combat veteran and Bataan Death March survivor for his distinguished military service to the U.S., May 20.

Bataan’s Commanding Officer Capt.

John “JC” Carter officially dedicated Bataan’s 844 feet long flight deck in Benini’s honor during the ceremony, christening it as Bull Benini field.

Carter shared Benini’s experiences that he had through WWII and what came after.

“I would like to tell you a story about survival, resilience and redemption,” Carter began when speaking to Benini’s family, friends and Bataan’s crew about the “Bull’s” life.

Alcide “Bull” Benini was born Oct. 15, 1921, in Cologna, Italy. Benini proudly served in the U.S. military during WWII, Korea, and also completed two tours of duty to Vietnam. He served in both the Army and the Air Force, achieving the rank of Chief Master Sergeant. He went on to become the founder of the Air Force Pathfinders, later renamed Combat Controllers, which are ground combat forces who specialize in traditional path finding with simultaneous abilities for air traffic control, fire support command, control and communications in covert operation environments. He retired in 1976 after serving for more than 30 years.

Ten of Benini’s family and friends attended the ceremony, including his daughter Jane Ables. “Just like many of his comrades in arms, he did not ever think of himself as a hero,” Ables said. “It was his duty to his country, and he did it well. without faltering like those before him, those after, and those who serve today.

Service before self is not just a saying, it’s a reality.”

Nicknamed “the Bull” from his experience, Benini was a WWII prisoner of war

CHUNG-HOON WINS CRYPTOLOGIC EXCELLENCE AWARD

MC2 Nathan Wilkes Acting as an injured civilian, a Marine receives medical care during a simulated mass casualty drill aboard USS Wasp (LHD 1).

WASP MEDICAL EXCELS IN MASS CASUALTY DRILL

By MC1 Eric S. Garst Navy Public Affairs Support Element East

ATLANTIC OCEAN

Amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1) integrated medical team set a new benchmark during a mass casualty drill, May 14. “From the time the ďŹ rst plane arrived and they took the ďŹ rst patient; it was nine minutes before the ďŹ rst patient was going to the intensive care unit and 13 minutes before the ďŹ rst patient was in the operating room,â€? U.S. Fleet Forces Command Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman Brain Campbell said. “That was phenomenal to see how well they work together and how quickly and smoothly that worked.â€?

Campbell noted it usually takes 20 minutes to get the ďŹ rst patient to the ICU. The purpose of the drill is to test the newly integrated medical team in a mass casualty and casualty-receiving scenario. The scenario is designed to stress the medical capabilities aboard ships. “When you are doing joint operations you want unity of effort and to do that you need unity of purpose,â€? amphibious task force surgeon for Wasp Amphibious Ready Group Capt. Christopher Kurtz said. “You can’t get any more uniform of purpose than in the medical ďŹ eld.â€?

The simulated causalities ranged from burns, fractures, amputations and sucking chest wounds. Once the casual-

ties arrived, the medical team then had to evaluate, stabilize and treat them. “They had a coordinated plan,�

Campbell said. “Every corpsman, every doctor, every nurse knew what their position was and where they needed to be.�

The Wasp integrated medical team includes medical personnel from Wasp, 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) and Fleet Surgical Team (FST) 2. “There is no my team, your team,�

Wasp Medical Department leading chief petty ofďŹ cer Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman Nathan Marsh said. “Everybody is on board, we all know what the mission is, and we all have the same mission – which is get everybody back home.â€?

Wasp’s medical department has four operating rooms, 15 ICU beds, 38 inpatient ward beds, and approximately 550 overow beds for humanitarian and disaster relief operations.

Wasp Amphibious Ready Group is currently in the Atlantic Ocean conducting a composite training unit exercise in preparation for an upcoming deployment.

Guided-missile destroyer USS Chung-Hoon (DDG 93) was awarded the Commander of U.S. 7th Fleet Quarterly Cryptologic Excellence Award for cryptologic efforts in support of theater, fleet and national tasking, May 16.

Bataan trains with new Mark VI patrol boats

By MC3 Raymond Minami USS Bataan Public Affairs

ATLANTIC OCEAN

Coastal Riverine Squadron (CRS) 4 conducted, for the first time, well deck operations with the Mark VI patrol boat aboard amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5), May 15.

Two Mark VI boats demonstrated their capabilities by mooring and launching from the well deck of Bataan, accomplishing a major milestone for the craft.

The first operational Mark VI arrived in Bahrain as part of the U.S. 5th Fleet. Once deployed, CRS-4 will utilize the Mark VI to conduct maritime security missions throughout the Arabian Gulf.

Deck Department division officer Ensign Michael Klooster was

excited to train with CRS-4.

“This is the second time Mark VI patrol boats have ever done well deck operations and the first time conducting operations with an LHD class amphibious warfare ship,” Klooster said.

The Mark VI is an 85-foot patrol craft fitted with a Mark 38 25 mm gun on the bow of the craft, with an ability to reach speeds in excess of 35 knots. The craft will provide the Navy the continued ability to patrol waterways for the purpose of protecting coalition forces as well as vital infrastructure.

“We need to continue doing these operations because they are extremely beneficial to us,” Klooster said. “This will allow us to be more adaptable and support further operations when we deploy overseas. The Mark VI patrol boats

are extremely cool pieces of machinery, they are extremely useful to the Navy’s war fighting mission.”

According to Klooster, the boats are versatile enough to fit inside the well deck, thus, they can be transported to any location in a short period of time. The crafts are also provided with kickstands that help deck department when are conducting boat operations with the Mark VI. “Not only do these boats come into the well deck, they actually have kickstands that are manually operated and lowered so they sit in the well instead of having all kinds of shoring and everything done to hold it in place,” Klooster said.

The Coastal Riverine Force (CRF) operates in harbors, rivers, bays across the littorals

The primary mission of CRF is to conduct maritime security operations across all phases of military operations by defending high value assets, critical maritime infrastructure, ports and harbors both inland and on coastal waterways against enemies and when commanded conduct offensive combat operations.

JEBLC-FS, UCT ONE, CBMU 202 and ACB 2 Participates in Scout Camporee

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

VIRGINIA BEACH

Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, Underwater Construction Team (UCT) ONE, Construction Battalion Maintenance Unit (CBMU) 202, and Amphibious Construction Battalion (ACB) TWO participated in the Bayside District 2016 Spring Camporee May 13-15.

More than 200 participants to include Boy Scouts, Sea Scouts, explorers, and Cub Scouts participated in a variety of military-related activities and demonstrations while visiting Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek.

“The Boy Scouts’ Bayside District 2016 Spring Camporee turned out to be a great event to support on base. This was a unique opportunity to share our military heritage with a group of youth who will be the future leaders of our country,” Commander of Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story Capt.

Frank Hughlett stated.

“The core values of Scouting of building character, being responsible citizens and personal fitness, lend itself to the Navy’s core values of honor, courage and commitment’” Hughlett said. “Having the opportunity to influence youth in a positive manner, helping them to be their best is greatly rewarding.”

UCT ONE training department Chief Equipment Operator Gary Tyler, reflected on the importance of working with the next generation of possible Sailors, Seabees, and Seabee Divers.

“Mentoring junior leaders on diving, underwater construction, tools, Seabees, and the Navy’s opportunities and capabilities provides us an opportunity to bring awareness to our technical skills and capabilities we provide worldwide,” Tyler said, who added this is the fifth year that UCT ONE has participated in the Camporee event.

During the two-day event, UCT ONE Sailors provided the scouts a closer look at what types of construction Seabees perform below the seas.

“Seeing the diving gear underwater in action, letting the scouts try on the dive helmets, see how underwater construction tools are used underwater, and perhaps challenge them to a game of tic-tack-toe,” Tyler said, who added that the scouts will learn about diving theories, Navy heritage, and Seabee history by highlighting the upcoming 75th anniversary of the Naval Construction Force.

U.S. Navy Expeditionary Combat Command is an enduring warfighting force providing sea-to-shore and inland operating environment capabilities across the full range of military operations that is focused on delivering combat effective expeditionary forces ready for worldwide operations now and into the future.

IW TYCOM commander speaks at Sea-Air-Space Expo 2016

By Robert Fluegel Naval Information Forces Public Affairs

NATIONAL HARBOR, MD.

The Navy League of the United States hosted the fifty-first annual Sea-Air-Space “Global Maritime Exposition,” at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Md. May 16-18.

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John M. Richardson spoke during the Service Chiefs’ update panel on the first day and talked about the importance of events like the Sea-Air-Space Exposition for industry leaders to come together with Navy leadership.

The Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space Exposition was founded in 1965 as a means to bring the U.S. defense industrial base, private-sector U.S. companies and key military decision makers together for an annual innovative, educational, professional and maritime based event located in the heart of District of Columbia. Sea-Air-Space is now the largest maritime exposition in the U.S. and continues as an invaluable

extension of the Navy League’s mission of maritime policy education and sea service support.

Commander of Naval Information Forces (NAVIFOR) Rear Adm. Matthew J. Kohler, spoke to a group of more than 100, as one of several Information Warfare (IW) Pavilion featured speakers. IW flag officers were also prominent in several Sea-Air-Space exposition panels.

Kohler started the discussion by explaining the signfinance of IW in the design for maintaining maritime superiority released several months ago by the CNO, as well as NAVIFOR’s roll in the design.

“NAVIFOR has matured significantly as a type commander over the past 18 months and is moving out on several key initiatives that support the design; specifically the task to further advance and ingrain IW into Navy warfighting,” Kohler said.

More than 300 interactive exhibits displayed their products to an estimated 12,000 attendees showcasing the latest in maritime, defense and energy tech-

nology were featured. The event offered attendees the chance to network and attend seminars, and it provided a professional development platform for educating Sailors of all ranks on the latest developments in naval warfare.

Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter spoke at the 2016 Navy League SeaAir-Space Exposition during a luncheon held at the Gaylord National Harbor Resort and Convention Center May 17.

The Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space Exposition was three days of seminars and demonstrations highlighting the latest maritime-related technologies and solutions. The symposium provided an excellent opportunity for Navy policy and operational leadership to interact with industry representatives to discuss and debate common interests and concerns.

NAVIFOR’s mission is to support operational commanders ashore and afloat by providing combat-ready information warfare forces that are fully trained, properly manned, and capably equipped.

WWII veterans receive Legion of Honor

By MC3 Raymond Minami USS Bataan Public Affairs

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA.

Amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5) hosted a Legion of Honor ceremony as part of Fleet Week Port Everglades, May 7.

More than 300 guests attended the ceremony honoring nine WWII American veterans who participated in at least one of the four main campaigns of the Liberation of France.

The award is France’s highest and pays tribute to those who have provided exceptional service to France.

Awardees Charles Adderley,

Kalman Bass, Edwin Blasingim, James Gilchrist, Robert Kampert, Sam Kornfeld, Arthur Kosa, James Lockshin and Calvin Landau became Knights of the Legion of Honor. The group joined notable Americans – inventors Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, astronomer Simon Newcomb, President Dwight D. Eisenhower and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of State Colin Powell.

Guest speaker Commander of U.S. Southern Command Adm. Kurt W. Tidd was honored to participate in the ceremony.

“You came from different back-

grounds, different experiences,” Tidd said. “You were ordinary men who became part of something extraordinary. In countless battles, large and small, you changed the course of history.”

Tidd recognized the close ties that unite the two countries, calling France, America’s oldest friend.

“We celebrate a bond of our two countries,” Tidd said. “A bond that has endured over two centuries, France is our first ally. More than 240 years ago you helped us win our independence, more than 70 years ago we helped you regain your independence. We owe our freedom to each other.”

Consulate General of France Phillipe Letrilliart honored the nine veterans by saying each of their names and recognizing them all as heroes, thanking them personally for coming to the shores of France and fighting to restore democracy and freedom in Europe.

“This ceremony is about you and what you have done,” Letrilliart said. “We recognize the actions of our nine veterans and through you we remember and honor your comrades who made the ultimate sacrifice. It is important to remember what these men did and the lives lost, to tell your children about their feats so that it is never forgotten.”

All nine men, now in their 90s,

saw action in the European campaign with almost all of them fighting in the battle at Normandy. The men helped bring WWII to an end and halt Nazi aggression on the continent and abroad.

Before pinning the medals on the lapels of the men, vice president of American Society of the French Legion of Honor Nicole Hirsh told the veterans she is proud to count them among the members of the society of the French Legion of Honor.

“Wear the red ribbon proudly,” Hirsh said. “From now on, this to remind you of France’s eternal gratitude and important part you played in this liberation.”

Former Sailor, ‘Salvage Dawgs’ star reflects on service and success

By MC2 Adam Austin Navy Public Affairs Support Element East

ROANOKE, VA.

It was a great way to get around, and there was a lot of camaraderie.

I was a crazy 21-year-old, and I loved the Orient.”

- Mike Whiteside

■ watch the show The crew saves beautiful old doors, stained glass, floors, mantels, etc. from buildings that are slated to be torn down.

Watch the season premiere July 31 on the DIY Network!

“Find something that you like that you can put your heart and soul into, and find a way to make a living at it.”

That’s what Mike Whiteside, a former Sailor and current celebrity, has to say to anyone looking for life advice.

Long before Whiteside became the highly successful CEO of Black Dog Salvage or the co-star on the television series “Salvage Dawgs,” he was a 19-year-old high school graduate signing a four-year enlistment contract for the U.S. Navy.

“I was fresh out of high school looking for guidance,” he said. “I was looking for someone to take care of me for four years, and Uncle Sam obliged.”

Whiteside joined the Navy in 1976, graduating from basic training and attending school to become a parachute rigger in Lakehurst, New Jersey. The only command he served with was Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron (HS) 8 – then, located in Imperial Beach, California. He may not be a 20-year veteran, but Whiteside gained plenty of life experience during his tour.

He sailed for two deployments on board USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63), traveling through the Western Pacific region to places such as China, Japan, and the Philippines. His strike group was also the first to respond to the Iran hostage crisis, and Whiteside says, it is the closest that he ever came to any conflict during his service.

“It was peacetime back then,” he said. “It was a lot different that how things are now.”

Back then, Whiteside would often earn favors from pilots by offering his sewing skills, a bargaining practice known in the military as “comshawing.”

“It was ‘You fly me out to Baguio for the weekend, and I build you a bag,’” Whiteside said, whose primary re-

sponsibility as a parachute rigger was to pack parachutes and survival bags.

“It was a great way to get around, and there was a lot of camaraderie. I was a crazy 21-year-old, and I loved the Orient.”

In 1980, after four years of service and becoming a petty officer second class, his enlistment contract ended and Whiteside rejoined the civilian world with new qualities. He had learned leadership, responsibility, and accountability. In short, he had grown up.

But the desire for adventure never left.

“Once I’d tasted the freedom of traveling and adventure, which is what the Navy gave me, I wanted to do more,” he said.

So he moved to Colorado to be a ski bum. Several years later, he moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to begin working in the yachting business.

He began as a deck hand. Over the course of 15 years, Whiteside moved up the ladder until he became a captain with a Coast Guard-issued master license.

“I traveled the world doing that,” he said. “It was like a variation of the Navy, without all the big guns. You get to see your country, and you get to see the rest of the world and really reflect on where you want to live. It taught me to be proud of my country.”

Whiteside likened the yachting business to the Navy. They’re a similar lifestyle, he said. You put your life in a sea bag and you ship out. You work while you travel, so you really take everything in. It’s not like a vacation where you just visit tourist sites and snap photos.

After years of traveling, the inevitable happened – his roots called him back back.

“It was like Dorothy,” he said. “‘There’s no place like home,’ and I traveled to a point where I needed to be home. I put my sea bag away.”

That’s when Whiteside settled down in Roanoke with his wife to start the beginnings of Black Dog Salvage

Company. Today, his salvage business has become wildly successful, inspiring the television series spin-off, “Salvage Dawgs,” which airs on the DIY Network.

“If someone would pay you to do something that you love, what would it be? Most people can’t answer that because they don’t know what their passion is,” Whiteside said. “I loved skiing, so I moved to Colorado. I loved sailing more, so I moved back to the ocean.

And I love this job and my family, so here I am.”

Whiteside says he is fortunate that he was able to serve his country during a time of peace. Sailors leaving the Navy today are under a lot of stress and apprehension, he says, and leaving the financial safety net of the military can create additional concern.

“Everybody seems to put their effort into making a paycheck, or working nine to five – whatever they have to do to make a living,” Whiteside said.

“Find your passion, whatever it is, and pursue it. It may not be something you

learned about on career day at high school, but it’s out there. Then you can start to grow your business and enjoy your life.”

And enjoying life is something Whiteside can’t stress enough.

“It’s smiling and laughing. Have fun.

I don’t care if you’re a garbageman.

Enjoy it. Be the best garbageman out there because you’ll work your way up. People recognize your attitude and your work ethic. Be a positive influence in life, and that’ll serve you well.”

After years of sailing around the world, both in the Navy and the private sector, Whiteside is back home. He says his dedication to pursue what he loves to do is his key to success, and his positive attitude has helped to create new opportunities, but his ability to uproot himself and take risks is a result of the nomadic lifestyle of a Sailor.

“I appreciate everything our service members do,” he said. “I’m thankful that I had the chance to serve, and that there are people out there right now protecting me as well.”

NAVSTA Norfolk holds USS Liberty Memorial Carillon dedication

By MC3 Jeanyra A. Mateo Naval Station Norfolk Public Affairs

NORFOLK

For the first time in more than 40 years Naval Station (NAVSTA) Norfolk’s David Adams Memorial Chapel played the Carillon after a rededication ceremony, May 16.

The memorial Carillon dedication honored the Sailors and families affected by the 1967 attack of USS Liberty.

NAVSTA Norfolk’s original Carillon was also dedicated to USS Liberty; however, it was destroyed a couple of years following its installation due to a fire. The chapel was without bells during the intervening years until this memorial rededication.

The ceremony consisted of an introduction to the history is USS Liberty as well as the history of the original Carillon by Lt. Cmdr.

Diana Lantz, a Navy chaplain assigned to NAVSTA Norfolk.

NAVSTA Norfolk’s Commanding Officer Doug Beaver spoke

of the importance this day has for both the base, the survivors of USS Liberty and family members. USS Liberty survivor retired Lt. Cmdr.

Jim Smith, spoke of the value this rededication has for all members affected by the 1967 event. The ceremony concluded with the unveiling of the memorial plaque and the presentation and acceptance of the new Carillon.

Lantz spoke of the two primary reasons why this ceremony is valuable to the NAVSTA Norfolk community.

“This dedication is important to recognize and honor all the sacrifices the members of USS Liberty endured as well as pay respect to the 34 Sailors that lost their lives during the attack,” Lantz said. “The second importance is the Carillon itself. Naval Station Norfolk has not heard the Carillon in many years, and now Sailors and civilians alike will be able to hear 12 bells at noon followed by a hymn. The ringing bells from the chapel tell everyone there is a special element to life and

anyone that hears it knows there is a holy and sacred spiritual location on this base.”

Smith spoke of his experience as a survivor of USS Liberty and his gratitude towards NAVSTA Norfolk’s Chaplain Department for honoring the shipmates he lost during the attack.

“I was on USS Liberty during the 1969 attack,” Smith said. “A couple of years after the attack I was here at the David Adams Memorial Chapel during the Memorial Carillon dedication. Today, because of the efforts of chaplain Lantz, the 34 Sailors will be honored and never forgotten with this Memorial Carillon rededication. This holds a great value to me and the family members that were affected by the attack but more importantly it continues to recognize the brave men that lost their lives that day.”

Beaver and Smith presented the memorial plaque. Beaver also spoke of the impact events have on NAVSTA Norfolk and his gratitude for the rededication of the Carillon.

“Our history is marked by many remarkable and several tragic events that make us who we are today and it is extremely important that we never forget those events,” Beaver said. “I want to

reiterate how grateful I am for individuals like Chaplain Miller and Chaplain Lantz who are so dedicated and committed to maintaining and most importantly sharing the history of our base.”

HONORS

| Words from loved ones

Continued from front For the Sailors of Navy Region MidAtlantic’s Funeral Honors team, Memorial Day is every day. They tirelessly uphold the time honored tradition of paying final respects to their departed shipmates.

It’s a tribute that does not go unnoticed by the loved ones of the deceased. Letters of gratitude pour in from the families, letters thanking the Sailors for the lasting memories they’ve provided.

“I am writing to express our sincere gratitude for the military honor ceremony that was held for my father. The ceremony was a loving tribute to my father and also a reminder of the sacrifice that many made and continue to make for our country.”

“Thank you for your warm, caring and compassionate memorial. Words cannot even begin to express how much it meant to all of us. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.”

“I am compelled to write this letter as I could not appropriately express my personal appreciation and that of my family and everyone in attendance on a postcard for the military honors presented at my father’s memorial service. The promptness, appearance, performance and courtesy extended by the Navy personnel for the military honors were simply exceptional. Everyone in attendance commented on the impact of the military honors and it was due to the professionalism, care and respect extended by each person making up the Navy contingency. It not only made us extremely proud of my father and his service to our country, but also it made everyone proud to be an American and see the quality of our service personnel.”

“Through the rain, the young men proceeded with stoic dignity. They are a credit

to the service.”

“Words alone cannot express the professionalism and dedication to service exhibited at the funeral for my father. As a retired master sergeant in the Air Force Band, I performed over 4,000 public performances during my career, so I am well aware of proper military customs and courtesies.

Rest assured, these Sailors performed their duties with the highest level of professionalism and care. My mother mentioned afterwards that my father would have been very impressed and humbled by their gesture.”

“My brothers and I would like to express our deep appreciation for the Navy Honor Guard who served at our mother’s funeral. Since she had served in the WAVES, it was so meaningful to us that one of the Honor Guard was a woman in her dress whites. We had just been looking at pictures of our mother in hers.

She was very proud of her service in the WAVES and we are proud of her.”

“Please extend my family’s and my thanks and gratitude to the Sailors who performed honors at my father’s ceremony.

They are a credit to the Navy and the country they serve.” “... the second Sailor presented me with the flag. He said what he was prescribed to say, “... the President of the United States …” But just after that, he knelt down in front of me and my family and said the most gracious, personal words I’ve ever heard. I do not wish to share them, but I will say it was heartfelt and sincere and it points to him as a wonderful human being in addition to a commendable asset to the military.”

“I will never forget the care and dignity and patriotic fervor you brought to my father’s burial. I know my dad was honored and moved. God Bless you all and thank you.”

Are you ready and prepared ed to keep you and your family ly safe in the event of a hurriricane this season? In order to ensure your readiness, plan an to attend an annual hurricane ne preparedness brief to be held ld on Joint Expeditionary Base se Little Creek-Fort Story inn the month of May.

These briefs efs are open to all hands as well ell as family members who are particularly encouraged to participate.

“Emergencies happen, so the question is ‘are you ready,’” Barber stated. “Disasters impact hundreds of thousands of people every year, many with little to no advance warning. It can happen to you, me, or our friends and loved ones. My goal is to assist our military personnel and their families to properly plan to help ensure their safety and welfare.

see The Flagship’s hurricane guide at http://tinyurl. com/j7j9n5h.

“I want them to be informed and stay informed. I want them to plan and I want them to build their own disaster response kit to be ready to help themselves until assistance arrives, if needed,” Barber said. Depending on the severity of the disaster, assistance may not arrive immediately. As part of the

INITIATIVE Continued from front to foster more direct two-way communication,” Director of DLA Logistics Operations Rear Adm. Vincent Griffith said. “It offers our customers the opportunity to engage our subject matters experts and learn how they can more easily access and leverage our capabilities. It also provides us firsthand feedback on what we are doing well and how we can improve to best support them.”

Navy community, e a c h one of us has a role in planning for emergencies.

“I want to especially encourage our family members to attend one of the briefing sessions,” Barber noted. “Our uniformed personnel deploy frequently to defend our cherished freedoms, thus leaving their loved ones behind. I want our families to get this information in order to afford them the opportunity to be better prepared.”

| More than 1,000 attendees

Continued from front pursue during our vacation time put us at risk for accidents that have potentially serious penalties. We all must do everything we can to be safer this summer. Fundamental military lessons of working together, exercising leadership, focusing on the mission, and having the courage to say no to a risky situation are all essential to enjoying the summer and returning to your units,” NAVSTA Norfolk’s Executive Officer Capt. Richard McDaniel said.

More than 1,000 Sailors heard presentations on suicide prevention, motor vehicle safety, the dangers of driving under the influence, home and recreational safety, domestic violence and heat stress prevention.

Among the speakers at the event was a Virginia State Police trooper, who spoke about highway safety. He talked about several examples of Sailor fatalities involving the dangers of speeding, driving under the influence and not wearing a seat belt.

“The information really made me think about being more careful on the roads this summer,” Quarter Master 1st Class Myesha Randel said. “I think everyone took something away from this that they can use this summer to be safer and more aware of the hazards around them.”

“What we try to do with these stand downs is hopefully be proactive rather than reactive. Stand downs offer a chance to educate people in hope of preventing accidents,” McDaniel said.

BATAAN

| Benini ‘lived through hell’

Continued from front who was captured in Bataan, Philippines, in 1942. He was forced to endure the infamous Bataan Death March. He then rode one of the notorious hell ships to mainland Japan, where he was brutally forced to do rigorous labor in Japanese mines.

“Benini literally lived through hell. If he were alive today, he would tell stories of the hard work in the lead and zinc mines of Japan,” Carter said.

After his release, he served with the 82nd Airborne Division, Pathfinder platoon when he was in the Army. During his assignment to the Pathfinder platoon, Benini became a fully

trained Master Parachutist. In January 1953 he left the Army and enlisted in the Air Force.

“Bull” past away Apr. 16, 2015, and was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery.

“I know [my] dad is in a much better place now and I imagine he is smiling down on us, as this flight deck is dedicated in his honor,” Ables said.

In closing, Capt. Carter spoke of how it was an honor and an inspiration to have met Benini.

“Bull, you have given the men and women on USS Bataan inspiration, and in exchange, we give you the recognition of Bataan’s flight deck, forever being called Bull Benini Field in your honor.”

U.S. military aids EgyptAir search, rescue operations

By Karen Parrish Defense Media Activity

WASHINGTON

U.S. European Command and the U.S. 6th Fleet are coordinating with officials in Greece in support of Egypt’s search and rescue operations for EgyptAir Flight 804, which disappeared from radar screens while en route from Paris to Cairo, May 19.

Director of Defense Press Operations Capt. Jeff Davis updated Pentagon reporters on those efforts.

European Command and U.S. 6th Fleet officials, Davis said, “continue to coordinate closely with the Hellenic armed forces, the Joint Rescue Coordination Center in Greece, and the U.S. Embassy in Athens, Greece, all of which are supporting Egypt's lead in this search and rescue operation.”

News reports say Egyptian officials announced the discovery in the Mediterranean Sea of some parts from the missing airliner, as well as suitcases and some remains. Sixty-six people were reported aboard the missing airliner.

The Defense Department “did respond to a request to provide U.S. Navy P-3 Orion aircraft to support the search efforts,” Davis said.

That aircraft, he said, assigned to Patrol Squadron 4 in Sigonella, Italy, conducted a search mission yesterday.

Two additional P-3 aircraft missions occurred today, Davis added, one from the Naval Air Station at Sigonella.

Another sortie began around 8 a.m.

Plebes from the U.S. Naval Academy’s (USNA) Class of 2019 endured 14 hours of rigorous physical and mental challenges during the annual sea trials training exercise, May 17.

Modeled after the Marine Corps’ crucible and the Navy’s battle stations recruit programs, sea trials serves as a capstone event for the plebes.

“Sea trials is one of the culminating events to end plebe year,” Midshipman 2nd Class Megan Rosenberger said. “It is a time for them to put forth everything they have learned mentally and physically throughout the year and work together as a team. The plebes are put under pressure and stressful situations that they have to work through as a team and be able to adapt.”

Although the primary purpose of sea trials is to serve as a rite of passage to the plebe class, it also strengthens senior midshipmen’s roles as leaders.

“We have a phrase we say as upperclassmen – ‘positive pressure with a purpose’ – and it’s to help us remember to be those leaders who are helping others, staying positive and guiding them and making sure we are building them up for success,” Rosenberger said.

SAFE AND SOUND New DOD campaign raises awareness to prevent child neglect

By MC1 Theodore Green The Flagship Staff

NORFOLK

The DOD recently launched the “Safe and Sound” campaign, a proactive outreach effort to educate military parents and bolster awareness of resources to ultimately prevent child neglect and abuse.

The campaign acknowledges military families face a number of challenges and aims to build trust, offer support, and provide parents with prevention tools and information about child abuse and neglect risk factors.

Naval Station (NAVSTA) Norfolk was one of three locations chosen to launch the campaign along with Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina and Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado.

Chris Scorby, wife of Commander of Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Rear Adm. John “Jack” Scorby, recently supported the roll-out effort at a reading event at the Norfolk Public Library: Mary D. Pretlow Anchor Branch, April 12. She was accompanied by NAVSTA Norfolk Commanding Officer Capt. Douglas J. Beaver and Navy Region Mid-Atlantic (NRMA) Fleet and Family Readiness Program Director Capt. John Malfitano.

“My husband and I are passionate about kids and Navy families – they’re my top priority” Scorby said.

Scorby read to local preschoolers while their parents learned about the prevention effort.

“This campaign is more about raising awareness of programs and services, and not raising awareness of child neglect,” Scorby stressed.

“In the age of technology, we can all be a little distracted. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad parent. It doesn’t mean you’re abusing your kids. It’s something we need to pay attention to and be mindful of so that it doesn’t move on into some greater neglect or abuse.”

Research shows that knowledge of parenting and child development and support for families in times of need reduce the risk of child neglect.

A key piece of the campaign connects military families to local support programs and systems that exist on and around installations.

Programs such as: fleet and family support, family advocacy, new parent support, exceptional family member; Military OneSource; local schools, libraries, YMCAs, recreation centers, and much more.

“At the Fleet and Family Support Center we offer a wide variety of programs,” NRMA Fleet and Family Support Program Manager Shannon Davis said. “From beginning to end, whether you’re pregnant or trying to raise teenagers, you can receive free services from fleet and family and it’s really important that we make everyone aware of this. Not everyone has support in the community, so we have them right here on every installation in Hampton Roads.

“The programs we offer are for everyone, not just those who may be having problems or command referrals. We have a number of Sailors

and their spouses taking our classes who are raising healthy families, but who want to gain more knowledge and understanding of parenting tools and available resources. Something doesn’t have to be wrong to want to take advantage of what we offer here.”

“From a very high level in the Department of Defense there is recognition that these types of programs directly affect our mission readiness,” Malfitano said. “If our warfighters are worried about their families, they’re not going to be as effective in their mission.”

While neglect may be more prevalent than abuse, it is less well-known and understood. The campaign uses web content, digital media advertising, and local military and community leadership to target the three main incidents of neglect: inadequate supervision, physical and environment hazards, and distracted parenting.

Inadequate child supervision can mean leaving one child in the car while taking another into day care or letting a child walk home alone.

The campaign provides guidelines to help parents understand what proper supervision entails and connects them with state and installation supervision guidelines and available child care options.

hazards such as a failure to childproof household hazards, unsafe sleeping arrangements or unsanitary conditions present in the home. The different programs highlighted in Safe and Sound offer courses and information for learning how to identify hazards around the home presents ways for parents to make kids’ environments both child-friendly and safe.

Parents are busy, especially when their spouse is on duty or deployed.

Simple tasks like preparing dinner or doing laundry while children play in the next room turn into stressfilled distractions that cause a lack of focus on children. With the advent use of technologies such as social media, gaming, texting, or email, the issue becomes even more prevalent.

Education about distracted parenting teaches parents how to balance daily activities to minimize distractions.

Malfitano said, unit commanders fully support Sailors and their spouses having access to and taking advantage of programs to improve their family’s quality of life. He also stressed that Sailors can be confident that their information will not be referred back up to the command so long as they don’t indicate intent to harm themselves or others.

“This is not going to impact a Sailor’s career, so long as it’s being done proactively or they refer themselves before there is an issue where the command would have to step in,” Malfitano said. “Seek assistance and make use of the resources available. Take advantage now before something becomes an issue down the road – do so with the confidence of maintaining confidentiality.”

Installations were selected based on recommendations from the service’s family advocacy program, the size of the military family population, and the ratio of military families to general population, among other factors.

Navy officials: 3D printing to impact future fleet with ‘on demand’ manufacturing

By John Joyce NSWC Dahlgren Division Corporate Communications

DAHLGREN, VA.

Is it possible to produce parts and equipment from scratch for Sailors – aboard ships and on demand?

Can the Navy rush deliver parts and hightech gear such as customized unmanned systems, avionics components, and improvised explosive device detectors to its warfighters?

“Yes we can,” Navy officials say and when additive manufacturing – also known as 3-D Printing – fully hits the fleet, Sailors could receive their orders within a substantially reduced time frame.

Remarkably, Sailors and Marines are already inventing new products, expanding the realm of possibilities made real by 3-D printing while saving time, resources, and money.

“Additive manufacturing will fundamentally change how we think, how we do business, the cost variable, and how we make decisions,” Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Dr. John Burrow told a gathering of 3-D printing exhibitors and visitors at the Department of the Navy Additive Manufacturing Showcase, April 20. “I think you are about to see its operational and technical potential literally explode off the map.”

As Burrow and Navy officials look at that map, they envision a future with 3-D printers forward-deployed with Marines and installed aboard warships as well as shorebased commands.

In fact, Navy Supply Command is anticipating a paradigm shift that will enable delivery of parts and equipment “just in time” to Sailors.

This shift to integrate 3-D printing into the Navy’s supply strategy will ensure that no request for a manufactured item will be left behind, according to Director of Engineering and Product Support for Navy Supply Command Capt. Armen Kurdian.

What’s more, Sailors without a 3-D printer or unable to make a product won’t have to look far for support. Their command supply officers will be able to special order parts and equipment for rapid production via 3-D printing.

“Additive manufacturing could bring about revolutionary changes to the Navy Supply System, with an associated paradigm shift from the current order and stocking system to implementation of just-in-time inventory,” Kurdian said after the event, hosted by Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Dahlgren Division. “It has the potential to move the point of manufacture for hundreds of components and parts closer to the point of demand.”

In many cases, the waiting time for an order could be reduced from months or weeks to days or hours.

Kurdian, Burrow and more than 100 visitors perusing the exhibits at the University of Mary Washington Dahlgren campus were clearly struck by the reality of 3-D printing’s potential impact to the fleet.

“The volume of creative and innovative ideas made feasible with 3-D printing is astounding,” NSWC Dahlgren Division physicist Lynn Shoppell said, who coordinated the showcase. “The exhibitors demonstrated that their concepts for increased technical capabilities, rapid prototyping, improved logistics operations, and cost reduction initiatives are achievable with 3-D printing.

Participants also experimented with additive manufacturing technology research and development.”

From a vantage point on stage during his keynote speech, Burrow could see 25 additive manufactured projects rapidly 3-D printed by government employees to solve problems, reduce costs, reduce risk, and improve technical capabilities for the warfighter.

Suddenly, he pointed to one project in the back of the auditorium.

“You can’t put that on a ship or a submarine – it’s for training,” Burrow said, regarding the Globe Valve Training Aid, 3-D manufactured by NSWC Dahlgren Division engineers based at Combat Direction Systems Activity in Dam Neck. The one-inch manual primary globe valve was built for classroom training at Norfolk Naval Ship Yard. The valve mock-up is being used to familiarize engineers and mechanics with valve operation and repair procedures.

“It’s significant because this same tool is used in a training classroom to give Sailors

or Marines an opportunity to tear it apart and put it back together,” Burrow said. “The original system costs $50,000, but they built it for $500. Identical, and that’s significant.

Start looking at these price differentials.

They are substantial.”

Burrow sponsored the event to explore innovative applications of additive manufacturing that benefit the warfighter and to highlight its impact throughout program lifecycles from early concepts, into component and system testing, and sustainment.

The Navy still has crucial engineering, business, and legal questions to answer, however, before it can fully take advantage of additive manufacturing capabilities.

For example, how will acquisition program managers know that parts produced via 3-D printing match the specifications of the same parts produced conventionally? How will supply officers apply data rights and intellectual property laws? How will they handle orders and billing?

“If we don’t manage and implement the business side of additive manufacturing properly, we could fail to realize the full weight of the benefits it can bring to the Department of Defense,” Kurdian cautioned.

Makin Island certifies 3M early MC1 Larry S. Carlson

SAN DIEGO

The crew of USS Makin Island (LHD 8) successfully completed the arduous Maintenance and Material Management (3M) certification assessment ten weeks ahead of schedule.

“Our Sailors did an outstanding job,” Makin Island 3M coordinator Master Chief Ship’s Serviceman Ioapo “PT” Puaatuua said, from San Diego. “They did what they do so well every day: conduct maintenance. The ownership of the crew was evident in their performance and each Sailor showed off their equipment with personal pride, proving this warship is ready to move forward.”

The challenging 3M inspection was an all-hands evolution. For three days, inspectors assessed 321 maintenance spot checks and maintenance condition validation checks from more than 65 work centers throughout the ship. Procedural compliance is the hallmark of a safe ship, and this in-depth inspection certified the crew’s adherence to safe and proven procedures.

Typically, ships receive a 13-week gap between the administrative 1.3 assessment and the functional 1.4 inspection, in order to correct discrepancies and hone maintenance practices. In an effort to complete the certification inside the basic phase training cycle, Makin Island requested to challenge the certification 10 weeks early, leaving only two weeks between the 1.3 and 1.4 evaluations.

“We asked to move up the timeline because we were ready. Makin

Island Sailors know their equipment, and they have been trained extensively in 3M. The inspection results clearly demonstrate that,” Puaatuua said. “Training played a key role in preparation for this inspection. We prepared all of our Sailors on how to properly conduct spot checks, how to correctly maintain their equipment, and how to accurately manage their 3M program.”

The 3M inspection is part of a training cycle that continuously monitors and trains Sailors on proper shipboard maintenance. The program plays a critical role in ensuring the ship meets its expected 40-year life span.

Makin Island Executive Officer Capt. Mark Melson leads the ship’s 3M program. “Our material condition is directly related to each Sailor’s ability to conduct maintenance effectively and in accordance with the Navy’s 3M system,” Melson said. “We are not fully mission capable if we can not properly maintain our equipment and our systems. This crew proved once again that we are inspection ready.”

Puaatuua attributed the success of the inspection to the 3M training team, the departmental 3M assistants, work center supervisors and the Sailors who performed spot checks during the inspection. The teamwork and over-the-shoulder training by Afloat Training Group over the last few months were critical to Makin Island’s success.

“Maintenance is an all hands effort from the wardroom, Chiefs Mess and especially the junior Sailors who are out there doing the maintenance everyday and performing the spotchecks,” Puaatuua said. “I am ex-

tremely proud of this crew’s ability to continuously surpass expectations and get the job done right the first time. Bravo Zulu, shipmates!”

Interior Communications Electrician 2nd Class Andrew Christian, received a score of 100 percent on his spot check and credited his success to the training he received.

“We do a lot of hard work and we take pride in our ship,” Christian said. “This inspection was an opportunity to showcase what we do every day and how well we do it.”

Commanding Officer Capt. Jon P. Rodgers expressed his pride in the Makin Island crew achieving this milestone simultaneously with the Supply Management Certification and a surprise Pay and Personnel Audit in the same week.

“Despite our best efforts to alleviate simultaneous inspections, we fall short, and inevitably place a heavy burden on the backs of the crew. The winning attitude of these Sailors is impressive,” Rogers said.

“Family members of the Makin Island crew should be justifiably proud of their Sailors for these noteworthy achievements. Maintenance is very critical to this ship being ready to deploy and respond when necessary. This crew not only passed these three inspections, but scored impressively high given the additional burdens associated with the last maintenance period prior to deployment. This certification proves our crew has pure heart and ready to answer the nation’s call whenever we are needed.”

The Makin Island crew is undergoing the basic training cycle in preparation for a regularly scheduled deployment in fall 2016.

“We will need to develop new contracting strategies to exploit on demand or even automated IDIQ [indefinite order, indefinite quantity] so that a fleet user could put in a demand signal for a particular component.

An order would be transmitted through the supply system to the most suitable geographic location where it could conceivably get a 3-D machine printing that part without any human interaction from the moment the demand signal is sent.”

Exhibitors showcasing additive manufacturing projects represented Naval Air Systems Command, Naval Research Laboratory, NSWC Carderock, NSWC Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division, NSWC Panama City, NSWC Dahlgren, Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Keyport, NUWC Newport, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Pennsylvania State University Applied Research Laboratory, and Walter Reed Medical Facility Department of Radiology.

Selected submissions from the showcase at Dahlgren were on exhibit at the Navy League’s 2016 Sea-Air-Space Exposition from May 16-18.

NDW HONORS FIRST JAPANESE EMBASSY ARRIVAL TO U.S.

By MC1 Pedro A. Rodriguez Naval District Washington Public Affairs

WASHINGTON

Naval District Washington commemorated the arrival of the first Japanese Embassy to the U.S. in May 14, 1860, by hosting a plaque dedication and unveiling ceremony at the Washington Navy Yard, May 13.

The plaque, now permanently displayed in Willard Park in the Washington Navy Yard, was donated by the Society of Descendants of the First Japanese Embassy.

More than 100 guests from the Society of Dependents of the First Japanese Embassy to the United States of America, 1860 Inc.; Japan America Society of Washington; prominent Japanese Americans and government employees working at the Washington Navy Yard attended to witness the historic ceremony.

Distinguished guests included former U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Norman Mineta; Deputy Chief of Mission, Atsuyuki Oike of the Embassy of Japan; and Commandant of Naval District Washington Rear Adm. Yancy Lindsey.

Lindsey welcomed guests in attendance, while addressing the crowd during his opening speech and spoke about the efforts to make the ceremony and the plaque a reality for Takashi Muragaki.

“For over a year Mr. Muragaki has steadfastly shepherded the effort to put in this special place a fitting reminder of the historic event that we’re celebrating today,” Lindsey said. “Mr. Muragaki, we’re inspired by your dedication and your loyalty to the memory and legacy of your ancestors. It’s been a pleasure to work with you throughout these past several months. Your kindness, consistency and patience epitomize the diplomatic charisma demonstrated in this place by your ancestor so many years ago.”

Muragaki is chairman of the Society of Descendants of the First Japanese Embassy and a fourth generation descendant of Vice Ambassador, Norimasa Awajinokami Muragaki. He thanked Naval District Washington for bringing the plaque dedication ceremony to fruition.

“With sincere gratitude and joy I welcome you to the plaque unveiling ceremony commemorating the historic arrival of the First Japanese Embassy to the United States of America in 1860,” Muragaki said.

“Tomorrow marks the 156th anniversary of this historic event.”

Japan’s first diplomatic trip to the U.S. occurred May 14, 1860, when the steamer Philadelphia brought the first Japanese delegation to Washington, D.C. Three Japanese Ambassadors, including Norimasa Awajinokami Muragaki, were received at the Washington Navy Yard.

According to Muragaki, his ancestor participated in establishing the first solid bond of friendship between the two nations 156 years ago.

“Today, the shared history between the United States and Japan continues,” Muragaki said. “This plaque presentation culminates collaboration with honored attendees of both countries.”

The ceremony culminated with the unveiling of the plaque which reads: “In commemoration of the arrival of the First Japanese embassy to the United States of America at the Washington Navy Yard on the 14th day of May 1860.

We honor and remember the first historic visit of 77 Japanese members of the Edo government of Japan and the long-lasting friendship between the United States of America and Japan. Presented this 13th day of May 2016, to the Unites States Navy by the Society of Descendants of the First Japanese Embassy to the United States of America 1860.”

DOD adds funding to enhance Zika surveillance by military labs

By Cheryl Pellerin DoD News, Defense Media Activity

WASHINGTON

The Defense Department is providing $1.76 million in extra funding to military laboratories to expand Zika virus surveillance worldwide and assess the virus’s impact on deployed service members’ health and readiness, Navy Cmdr. Franca Jones said in a recent interview.

Jones, who holds a doctorate, is chief of the Global Emerging Infections Surveillance and Response, or GEIS, section of the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Branch (AFHSB) in the Defense Health Agency’s Public Health Division.

The enhanced Zika virus surveillance will involve 10 projects in 18 countries and territories by four lab partners based in the U.S. and ďŹ ve located overseas.

Jones said, the labs receiving more Zika virus funds are part of the GEIS integrated worldwide emerging infectious disease surveillance network that includes core Army or Navy medical research labs in Egypt,

Georgia, Kenya, Peru, Thailand, Cambodia and Singapore, and Army, Navy and Air Force labs in the U.S., working in more than 60 countries around the world.

In the current ďŹ scal year, she added, GEIS already has provided its network partners with more than $51 million to support a range of emerging infectious disease surveillance programs.

Mosquito-borne Zika Zika virus disease spread to people through the bites of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, usually shows mild symptoms – fever, rash, joint pain and red eyes – that last several days or a week, according to the CDC. But Zika virus infection during pregnancy can cause a serious birth defect called microcephaly and other severe fetal brain defects, the CDC says.

In May 2015, the Pan American Health Organization issued an alert about the ďŹ rst conďŹ rmed Zika virus infection in Brazil. Three months ago, the WHO declared Zika virus a public health emergency of international concern. Local transmission has been reported in many other countries and territories.

Zika virus likely will continue to spread to new areas, CDC says. Some 4,905 conďŹ rmed and 194,633 suspected cases had been reported in 33 countries and territories in the Western Hemisphere, according to an April 6 AFHSB summary.

Jones said the DoD labs will use the Zika money provided by the branch’s GEIS section for three kinds of surveillance studies. One will look retrospectively for Zika virus exposure among DoD personnel through serum repository samples. A retrospective study looks backward in time, in this case using serum samples of patients who had been deployed in areas with high rates of Zika virus infection.

The other surveillance studies will leverage existing work in the GEIS lab network in different parts of the world to expand clinic-based surveil-

SHOOTING STARS Navy snares 2016 Armed Services Skeet Championship

By Amaani Lyle Defense Media Activity

NASHVILLE, TENN.

As the 56th Armed Services Skeet Championship concluded May 13 at the Nashville Gun Club, organization officials announced the victors from among the contending five-member teams representing the branches.

The Navy took top honors as high overall average (HOA) military champions, while the Air Force earned HOA runnerup spoils from scores in the 12gauge, 20-gauge 28-gauge and 410-bore shotgun events, as well as the doubles.

“The competition has sustained popularity because it occurs at various locations and is open to active and retired veterans from all services, as well as the participants’ spouses and dependents,” retired Marine Corps Col. Chris Naler said, who was a competition participant and is the Armed Forces Skeet Association (AFSA) president.

This year’s competition featured more than 155 shooters from across about 36 states, with representation from all five services, he added.

Hopefuls can sign up through their units’ morale, welfare and recreation organization and can be either sponsored or command-supported through temporary duty assignment funding to accommodate a three-day pre-shoot followed by a five-day main shoot, Naler explained. About a year of evaluation and assessment from team leaders typically yields primary and development categories within each team.

“Ideally, you’re always growing a new group, as well as you have a seasoned group that can really compete head-to-head – that’s where the camaraderie and good bragging rights come from,” Naler said.

While wartime obligations have hampered some attendance, interest among skeet enthusiasts has remained since AFSA’s emergence in the 1960s, Naler said. “As we came into more of a wartime footing,” he added. “Obviously our personnel had been deployed for the last 15 years, and that did put a bit of a strain on our attendance for active military.”

Participation Has Rebounded Though event participation is rebounding in recent years, Naler hopes to see spikes in retiree and veteran attendance.

“When we look out and see those personnel shooting on the active military teams, we reflect on our time when we were there, on our time when we [served].”

With about 25 active-duty competitors in this year’s championship, Naler acknowledges the challenge military leaders face as they pursue funding and justify travel, fees, and other related costs, which he emphasized fits well into military training.

“Everything we’re doing here fits into marksmanship; everything fits into training,” Naler asserted. “[Nothing] is counter to any form of marksmanship that young Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen are going to perform in their day-to-day duties, so it all fits right to the heart of being in the U.S. military.”

Naler also hopes skeet competition and camaraderie extend to the local communities.

Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Mark Stewart, field artillery range operations chief at Camp Pendleton, California, shares Naler’s sentiment.

Experience, Patience, Focus A junior Olympic trap shooter, 1996 Olympic team alternate and

competitive shooter for much of his life, Stewart said that as the Marine Corps team’s most seasoned member, he looks forward to continuing teaching fundamentals to shooters of all ages in the local community.

“Perhaps ironically, the experience, patience and focus that come with age bring [me] the clarity to turn [my] brain off,” Stewart said – which he noted ultimately yields better results.

“This sport is played on the subconscious level, it isn’t played on the conscious level,” Stewart said.

“With most other shooting sports … you’re trying to steady the gun, and that involves a very conscious focus on sights and precision.”

Stewart, who still holds multiple records for fastest draw, characterized the shotgun as an imprecise weapon against a moving target, but noted the “instant gratification” that comes with accuracy.

“It’s all hand and eye – they know what to do, but when your subconscious brain gets in the way, that’s when you screw it up,” he said candidly. “You would be amazed how fast your hands and eyes can work if you stay out of their way.”

Stewart said, trap is the oldest

form of the outdoor sport, and earned the name from its genesis in the 1600s, when people would release live birds from a trap. Glass balls and clay pigeons eventually replaced the birds, and mechanical throwers eventually replaced human lobbers.

But whether the target is birds, glass balls or clay pigeons, repetition and comfort are among the sport’s most important elements, Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Winders said, who is assigned to the 673rd Medical Group at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska.

“It’s really about just practicing and fine-tuning your game,” Winders said. “With so many types of shooters, it’s about finding what works for you to make it happen and break the targets.”

Fun Regardless of Age or Gender While competition is always a factor, both Winders and his Navy competitor Lt. Meagan Makarenko said, it primarily comes down to having fun without being hampered by age or gender.

“We see men and women and people of all ages here, and one of the speakers at the opening ceremony this year was about 90 years

old,” Makarenko said.

At the other end of the age spectrum, Army Capt. Jake Stewart from 4th Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment in Fort Carson, Colorado, said he’s been shooting since he was about 9 years old with his father at sporting clay competitions and charity events in west Texas.

Though deployments and other duties whittled his practice time to just under a month, Stewart said, balancing focus to avoid mental fatigue has been a reliable method.

“You have to get through the zone while you’re on the pad, and then relax until the next pad to get back into the same zone,” he said.

Stewart also said he prefers the 410-gauge, because it’s the smallest with the fewest number of pellets. “If you break a target, you know exactly where you were and you know exactly that you shot it well – if you break a target, you earned it.”

“We’ve all served shoulder to shoulder. We’ve all supported one mission, and that is the defense of our nation,” Naler said. “When we come out here, it’s a chance to let our hair down a little bit but also represent our respective services – active, retired or veteran.”

Aviation community to see significant change in training

By HM2 Matthew Clutter Navy Medicine Education and Training Command Public Affairs

PENSACOLA, FLA.

The Naval Survival Training Institute (NSTI) announced May 17, the Navy is fully integrating the Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device (ROBD) into aviation hypoxia training as a bridge to the more permanent normobaric hypoxia (oxygen reduced) trainer.

According to NSTI assistant officer in charge Capt. Michael Prevost, the portable ROBD is replacing the large, room-sized low pressure chambers that were decommissioned at all eight Aviation Survival Training Centers (ASTC) in March.

The ASTCs execute the Navy’s aviation survival training program and are probably best known for their water survival training for pilots and flight crews, but they also train aviators to recognize the symptoms of hypoxia

– a condition which the body is deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen. Instructors do that by inducing hypoxia in the aviators.

Typically when pilots become hypoxic, it can greatly affect their ability to fly a plane.

Ask pilots what it feels like, and they may compare it to “not feeling right” or simply feeling “a bit strange.” To put it medically, the signs and symptoms are quite varied but can range from lightheadedness and a tingling sensation to complete unconsciousness.

The decommissioned low-pressure chambers had been a part of aviation training since 1947. The chambers induced hypoxia by reducing the atmospheric pressure and oxygen level. However, physically changing the atmospheric pressure puts students at risk of decompression sickness, which typically occurs with a change in air pressure.

ROBD eliminates this risk. Instead of changing the atmospheric pressure, ROBD uses bot-

tled gasses to feed an adjustable oxygen and nitrogen mixture to a pilot’s oxygen mask to produce the atmospheric oxygen contents for altitudes up to 34,000 feet.

ROBD training is also more realistic. In the traditional low-pressure chambers, hypoxic pilots and flight crew members were required to perform tasks that required simple coordination. By contrast, ROBD can be packed up and taken to a fleet simulator, permitting context-specific hypoxia training.

“Instead of sitting in a low pressure chamber playing patty cake or playing with a shape box or something like that, we can put them at a set of aircraft controls and have them do aviationtype tasks,” Prevost said.

Prevost explained hypoxia is the number one human factor issue for the F/A-18 Hornet and for the commander of Naval Air Forces.

He said, ROBD addresses this issue by giving him and his team a much better way to train

aviators for hypoxia. In addition to its mobility, is its ability to allow the pilot to train and retrain for hypoxia – something that was rather limited with the low pressure chamber due to the reported cases of decompression sickness.

“Low pressure chambers are expensive to operate and maintain, and they have reached the end of their operational life. By shutting them down the ASTCs avoid the risk of pushing them structurally,” Prevost said.

In decommissioning the giant, steel lowpressure chambers, the Navy is losing a longtime staple of the aviation training community.

In its place is a more mobile and efficient tool.

The shift to a less expensive, more efficient and permanent training solution will be complete by 2017. All pilots will use the ROBD trainer until the full implementation of normobaric hypoxia trainers occurs. Once those trainers are in place, only pilots who fly with masks will continue using the ROBD.

MC2 Justin Stumberg Tunisian marines participate in fast rope familiarization during exercise Phoenix Express 2016 at the NATO Maritime Interdiction Operational Training Center, May 18.

Phoenix Express 2016 Commences U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, U.S. 6th Fleet Public Affairs SOUDA BAY, GREECE

Maritime forces from Europe, North Africa, and the U.S. began the tenth iteration of the multinational maritime Exercise Phoenix Express, May 17.

Phoenix Express, sponsored by U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) and facilitated by U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, U.S. 6th Fleet, is designed to improve regional cooperation, increase maritime domain awareness information-sharing practices, and operational capabilities to enhance efforts to achieve safety and security in the Mediterranean Sea. Quick Facts: This year’s exercise control group will be hosted at the NATO Maritime Interdiction Operations Training Center (NMIOTC) located in Souda Bay, Greece, but training will take place throughout the Mediterranean to include North African nations’ territorial waters.

The at-sea portion of the exercise will test North African, European, and U.S. forces’ abilities to combat illegal migration, illicit trafficking, and movement of materials for weapons of mass destruction.

Additionally, participating forces will work together to practice procedures of search and rescue in cases where vessels are in distress.

Participating Maritime Operations Centers (MOCs) will exercise information-sharing practices.

Participants of Phoenix Express have opportunities to enhance expertise in a number of areas: boarding techniques, search and rescue operations, medical casualty response, MOC to MOC communication, and maritime domain awareness tools.

Scenarios focused on the globally-recognized Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) will allow endorsing nations of Tunisia and Morocco to develop capabilities to detect and disrupt the delivery of materials used to build and develop weapons

of mass destruction.

A Combined Maritime Operation Center (CMOC), led and comprised of North African navy officers, will form at NMIOTC to manage at-sea operations.

While the exercise is facilitated by the U.S. Navy, senior leaders from North

African navies have prominent roles in the exercise.

A Moroccan officer will oversee the exercise control group; a Tunisian officer will oversee the CMOC; and an Algerian officer will oversee a five-ship surface action group participating in the at-sea phase.

U.S. units participating include the dive and rescue salvage ship USNS Grasp (T-ARS 51), and USS Gravely (DDG 107). In addition, medical and maritime interdiction operations specialists will assist participating partner nation units during the exercise.

A senior leader seminar

will be held one day prior to the start of the exercise, organized and facilitated by the Near East South Asia Center for Strategic Studies. The seminar will focus on the current maritime challenges in the Mediterranean and bring forward dialogue on how regional cooperation can address those challenges.

Exercise Phoenix Express is one of three U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, U.S. 6th Fleet facilitated regional exercises. The exercise is part of a comprehensive strategy to provide collaborative opportunities amongst African forces and international partners that addresses maritime security concerns.

Participating nations in Phoenix Express 2016 include Algeria, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Malta, Mauritania, Morocco, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey and the U.S. NATO Shipping Center is also scheduled to participate.

Navy historical works on naval aviation, Vietnam history, earn prestigious awards Naval History and Heritage Command WASHINGTON

■ about NHHC NHHC, located at the Washington Navy Yard, is responsible for the preservation, analysis, and dissemination of U.S. naval history and heritage.

Two Navy historical works have earned special recognition for their contributions to the field of historic scholarship, the North American Society for Oceanic History, announced It provides the May 14.

“War in the Shallows: U.S. knowledge foundation Navy Coastal and Riverine Warfor the Navy by fare in Vietnam, 1965-1968” maintaining historically by the Naval History and Herirelevant resources tage Command’s (NHHC) John and products that D. Sherwood, Ph.D. won the reflect the Navy’s John Lyman Book Award in unique and enduring the category of U.S. Naval Hiscontributions through tory. Meanwhile, “United States our nation’s history, Naval Aviation 1910-2010” and supports the fleet

by Naval History and Heritage by assisting with and Command’s Mark L. Evans and delivering professional Roy A. Grossnick, won the John Lyman Book Award in the catresearch, analysis, and egory of Naval and Maritime interpretive services.

Reference Works and Published Primary Sources.

“These are very prestigious awards, and we’re very proud of the command’s historians who researched and wrote these books,” Director of the Naval History and Heritage Command Samuel J. Cox said. “Both books are important historical works and are indicative of the expert, scholarly research and publication being performed here every day by the history professionals of NHHC, including the outstanding editorial and publication support the authors received in publishing these two definitive texts.”

Each year the North American Society for Oceanic History (NASOH) presents the John Lyman Book Awards to recognize excellence in the publication of books that make significant contributions to the study and understanding of maritime and naval history. Winners of the awards for books published in 2015 were announced at NASOH’s annual meeting held in Portland, Maine, May 14.

“War in the Shallows: U.S. Navy Coastal and Riverine Warfare in Vietnam, 1965-1968” details the operations of three inshore task forces – the Coastal Surveillance Force (TF 115), the River Patrol Force (TF 116), and River Assault Force (TF 117) – which made up the naval component of the Mobile Riverine Force. It also examines the basing, logistics, tactics, rules of engagement, and technology of the Navy’s inshore task forces in Vietnam. Perhaps the most enlightening aspect of the book is the use of interviews with Vietnam veterans that illustrate the social history of the men who made up the “brown water” Navy. They provide a glimpse of the humanity behind the hardware rarely seen in message traffic or action reports. The book can be downloaded for free from NHHC’s website: http://go.usa.gov/cJ3gg/.

“United States Naval Aviation 1910-2010” is the Naval History and Heritage Command’s fourth update to the original history, which was initiated in 1960. That first issue celebrated the first 50 years of United States naval aviation and this two-volume set commemorates the centenary. Previous editions have proved an invaluable first-stop research tool to aviation, naval, and military historians. This latest update breaks U.S. naval aviation history into two volumes – chronology and statistics. Both have greatly increased content over the previous version beyond simply including years not previously covered. New and expanded research makes these the definitive volumes on U.S. naval aviation’s first century. The two-volume set can be downloaded for free from NHHC’s website: http://go.usa.gov/cJ3gK/.

According to NASOH’s website, the society was founded in 1973 to provide a forum for maritime history and remains actively devoted to the study and promotion of naval and maritime history. The society’s objectives are to promote the exchange of information among its members and others interested in the history of the seas, lakes, and inland waterways; to call attention to books, articles, and documents pertinent to naval and maritime history; and to work with local, regional, national, international, and government organizations toward the goal of fostering a more general awareness and appreciation for North America’s naval and maritime heritage.

The exercises took place at different locations throughout the yard and Naval Support Activity Annapolis. Events included a variety of physical and mental challenges that simulated situations officers might encounter in the fleet and Marine Corps. Companies focused on teamwork to overcome each obstacle.

“This day is the most amazing day I have ever had,” Midshipman 4th Class Morgan M. Jones said. “I have bonded more with my company today than I have ever since arriving here back in July. This event has brought us together, and no one here has any negative

Mayport remembers fallen shipmates at Stark Memorial

JACKSONVILLE, FLA.

Sailors held a ceremony of remembrance at Naval Station (NS) Mayport, May 17, to honor Sailors who were killed aboard guided-missile frigate USS Stark (FFG 31) 29 years ago.

On May 17, 1987, while on patrol in the Arabian Gulf, 37 Sailors died when two Iraqi missiles struck Stark.

Despite the severe damage inflicted, the heroic efforts of Stark’s crew saved the ship. Stark was decommissioned at Mayport in 1999.

Surviving crew members attended the annual ceremony, including retired Chief Operations Specialist Larence Barrow, who spoke about what remembering the tragedy means to him.

energy. Everyone is helping each other out and keeping each other positive, so we can move forward and finish.”

During a ceremony at the completion of the exercise, 29th Company was named the Iron Company, recognizing them as the top performers in endurance and spirit throughout the event.

“The two lessons that were reinforced today and that is taught to you here is the importance of attitude and effort in everything you do, and the power of the human will,” Commandant of Midshipmen Col. Stephen Liszewski said. “These two things can shape your future in anything you do.”

“There’s such a catharsis, and you learn that everyone else shares the same feelings, and it’s a camaraderie,” Barrow said. “It’s a healing ceremony for us to meet with the families, to share the stories and reminisce. We need that.”

This year’s memorial included the donation of Stark’s original stern plate from Janna Ryals, a Navy veteran and sister to Signalman Seaman Earl Ryals, who died in the attack.

“This shows that we’re still respecting and honoring not only the men who died that day, but the ones that are still alive,” Ryals said.

Ryals said she originally wanted to keep the stern plate at home with her to remember her brother, but she had a change of heart and realized sharing it was the best thing she could do for Stark’s crew. The stern plate will now

be on display Naval Station Mayport.

“I did lose my brother, but through this I’ve gained several other shipmates,” Ryals said.

This year’s remembrance was hosted by NS Mayport’s Second Class Petty Officers Association (SCPOA).

First year SCPOA member, Ship’s Serviceman 2nd Class Jeffery Meade said, he was happy to be associated with such a historic event.

“I think it’s important that we preserve this tradition because the Stark was home ported in Mayport,” he said.

“There are many family members of the crew who still live in the area, and it means a lot to them that we do this.”

Mayport Memorial Park was established Aug. 1, 1987, with the dedication of the Stark monument and will continue to honor this memorial every May 17.

| Wide array of advancements

Continued from B1 electrical systems including the ship’s boat handling, anchor and mooring systems as well as major demonstrations of the damage control, ballasting, navigation and communications systems.

“Today represents a significant achievement for not only the DDG 1000 program and shipbuilding team, but for the entire U.S. Navy,” DDG 1000 Program Manager Rear Adm. (select) Jim Downey said, “This impressive ship incorporates a new design alongside the integration of sophisticated new technologies that will lead the Navy into the next generation of capabilities.”

The 610-foot, wave-piercing tumblehome ship design provides a wide array of advancements. The shape of the superstructure and the arrangement of its antennas significantly reduce radar cross section, making the ship less visible to enemy radar at sea.

Zumwalt is the first Navy surface

combatant to employ an innovative and highly survivable Integrated Power System (IPS) distributing 1000 volts of direct current across the ship. The IPS’s unique architectural capabilities include the ability to allocate all 78 megawatts of installed power to propulsion, ship’s service, and combat system loads from the same gas turbine prime movers based on operational requirements. Each ship in the class features a battery of two advanced gun systems, capable of firing long-range land attack projectiles (LRLAP) that reach up to 63 nautical miles, providing three-fold range improvement in naval surface fires coverage.

Each ship is equipped with 80 advanced vertical launch system cells for tomahawk missiles, evolved sea sparrow missiles, standard missiles (ASROC), and vertical launch antisubmarine rockets (VLA).

The ship will employ active and passive sensors and a multi-function radar (MFR) capable of conducting

area air surveillance, including overland, throughout the extremely difficult and cluttered sea-land interface.

Following delivery and a crew certification period at General Dynamics-Bath Iron Works (BIW), the ship will be commissioned in Baltimore, Oct. 15. Zumwalt will then transit to her home port in San Diego where mission systems activation will continue in parallel with a post delivery availability.

“Zumwalt’s crew has diligently trained for months in preparation of this day and they are ready and excited to take charge of this ship on behalf of the U.S. Navy,” Zumwalt Commanding Officer Capt. James Kirk said. “These are 143 of our nation’s finest men and women who continue to honor Adm. Zumwalt’s namesake with their dedication in bringing this ship to life.”

BIW is also constructing followon ships, the future Michael Monsoor (DDG 1001) and Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG 1002).

CVW 9 COMMANDER ACHIEVES 1,000TH TRAP

By Lt. James Haizlip Carrier Air Wing 9 Public Affairs

SOUTH CHINA SEA

Commander of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 9 completed his one-thousandth career carrier-arrested landing, or trap, aboard aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74), May 11, flying a F/A-18E Super Hornet assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 14.

To Capt. Rich Brophy, becoming a part of the “Grand Club” is a great accomplishment – representative of a long career spent flying aircraft of

multiple different platforms, Brophy said.

Brophy, however, was quick to recognize this is not merely a personal achievement.

“This milestone could not be reached without the hard work of the Sailors providing an aircraft ready to fly and a catapult and arresting gear team qualified and ready to launch and recover aircraft,” Brophy said.

Brophy has amassed over 3,900 flight hours in a career spanning 24 years. Brophy began his career with Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 105 flying off aircraft carrier USS

Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71). He has flown in numerous operations throughout his career including Southern Watch, Allied Forge, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom.

He was commanding officer of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 115, and assumed command of CVW-9 January 2015.

CVW-9 is currently embarked aboard John C. Stennis on patrol in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of responsibility providing a ready force supporting security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific.

with a climb up six flights of stairs – 10 steps per flight – each lugging a 42-pound hose. When they reached the top, the firefighters pulled a hose up the tower then raced to the bottom. From there, they stood over a 160-pound beam and beat it with a sledgehammer until it moved 5 feet. That led to a hose competition, followed by a victim rescue exercise in which each firefighter dragged a 175-pound mannequin backwards 100 feet to the finish line.

On his first run, rookie Virginia Beach firefighter Chris Scott finished in 2:03, but lost his sushi and tropical smoothie lunch in the process.

“That last stretch was tough,” he said, laughing. “I was just trying to make sure I didn’t pass out.”

Scott, 30, said he registered three days before the race at the urging of his ladder captain. He finished his 15month probationary period last week after moving to Virginia Beach from a volunteer fire department in upstate

Coast Guard Auxiliary celebrates safe boating week with 8 ways to be better prepared on the water U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary 5th District Southern Region PORTSMOUTH

The Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary are celebrating safe boating this week in Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland.

We’re determined to arrive at the day when every boater is fully prepared before going out.

Eighty-four percent of fatal drowning victims weren’t wearing a life jacket. With an expanded variety of comfortable options available, there’s no good reason to be without one.

2. Get a free vessel safety check annually. Visit www.

SafetySeal.net to schedule an appointment. A vessel safety check ensures a boat and its equipment comply with federal, state and local safety requirements. It’s your opportunity to get the facts and your questions answered, typically in less than an hour.

3. Take a boating safety course. What you don’t know can cost you. Eighty percent of boating deaths occurred on boats where the operator had not received boating safety instruction. Most on-water accidents are preventable. Visit http://cgaux.org/boatinged to search affordable ($25-$50 on average) courses of all levels taught year-round by local experienced expert instructors.

4. Boat sober. Never boat under the influence. Alcohol use is the leading contributing factor in boater deaths. Drunk boating is drunk driving. Have a designated vessel operator when friends and family are having a few adult beverages while boating.

5. Purchase a VHF radio with digital selective calling and an emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB).

Register both. A cell phone connects you to one party only.

A VHF radio is better in an emergency because you can simultaneously alert the Coast Guard and surrounding boats.

When an EPIRB is properly registered, the Coast Guard will be able to use the registration information to immediately take action. If the EPIRB is unregistered, a distress alert may take up to two hours longer to reach the Coast Guard over the international satellite system.

6. File a float plan. Visit http://floatplancentral.cgaux.org/ for everything you need to know about filing a float plan.

A float plan can be as simple as telling friends and family where you’re going, and when you plan to return.

7. If you see something, say something. Keep an eye out.

Weather conditions change. If you see something that may be unsafe, call it out. Encourage your passengers to do the same. Speak up for everyone’s safety.

8. Get Familiar with the new Coast Guard mobile app.

Your safe boating needs in one free easy app. Find the latest safety regulations. Request a vessel safety check. File a float plan. Request emergency assistance. Download it for free: www.uscg.mil/mobile.

â&#x2013; green tip â&#x20AC;&#x201C; lawn care practices Your lawn care practices greatly affect the health of our local waterways. The nitrogen and phosphorus found in fertilizer can run off your yard and end up in our waterways. Excess nitrogen and leads to â&#x20AC;&#x153;dead zonesâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or areas with low amounts of oxygen. With little or no oxygen, ďŹ sh, crabs, oysters, and other aquatic animals literally suffocate. An excess of these nutrients fuels the growth of dense algae blooms that block sunlight that underwater grasses need to grow in order to continue providing food for waterfowl and shelter for blue crabs and juvenile ďŹ sh. These blooms also cause our waterways to become discolored, smelly and undesirable for swimming and boating. ~askhrgreen.org.

GET YOUR GRILL ON THIS MEMORIAL DAY

By Janet Tharpe JustAPinch.com

Depending on what part of the country you live in, on Memorial Day you may be bundled in a sweatshirt or ďŹ&#x201A;oating in the pool trying to stay cool. But for everyone across America, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ofďŹ cial holiday to remember those in our military that have given the ultimate sacriďŹ ce. And, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the unofďŹ cial kick-off to grilling season! Once again, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hosting the neighbors for a fun food ďŹ lled day.

What cookout is complete without a burger this year. But I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be serving any ordinary burger. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still trying to decide, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narrowed down to two ďŹ&#x201A;avor-ďŹ lled recipes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tara Waitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger with Chipotle Mayo or Josephine Quickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s My Grilled Hawaiian Turkey Burger with Pineapple. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the ďŹ&#x201A;avor of smokey sweet barbecue on my burger,â&#x20AC;?

Tara explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made this recipe trying to ďŹ nd a nice barbecue burger that tastes great without all of the normal burger ďŹ xings.â&#x20AC;? The burger itself is great with the ďŹ&#x201A;avor from the chipotles. Pairing cheddar and Gouda cheese is great and adds to the smokey ďŹ&#x201A;avor. A chipotle mayo tops the burger and adds one last ďŹ&#x201A;avor punch. So good!

Josephine combines ground chuck and turkey in her recipe and I loved the combination of meats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Top with grilled pineapple, Swiss cheese, spinach, onion rings, thinly sliced tomato, and a drizzle of

pineapple teriyaki sauce,â&#x20AC;? Josephine suggests. Make sure to also add an ample amount of her mayo sauce. She mixes mayo with pineapple juice, ketchup, jalapeĂąo and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough of it.

Who knows? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so good, maybe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll serve both! I do know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m adding Carla Tiptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s juicy Italian Spiced Pork Chops to the menu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These have a very nice ďŹ&#x201A;avor,â&#x20AC;?

Carla thinks (and so do I). The oil mixture on these chops made for some very handsome grill marks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and an excellent presentation guests are sure to love. If you happen to see a pork loin on sale at your supermarket, pick it up. You can substitute that for the pork chops and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have more than enough meat to feed a crowd.

The vinegar and seasonings in Elizabeth Matticeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grilled Florida-style Chicken combine to make one ďŹ&#x201A;avor-packed chicken. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[I] love this grilling sauce as it is not a red or tomato based sauce,â&#x20AC;? Elizabeth says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been a family favorite for generations and each generation has experimented with the basic sauce to create interesting variations.â&#x20AC;?

In the Test Kitchen, we made this just as Elizabeth shared and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fabulous. One bite and no one will think this is just ordinary chicken.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great chicken addition to a cookout. For this party, I may try her variation with lime â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I think that sounds divine.

While I love a good rib eye or T-bone steak, they can get mighty

JustAPinch Grilled Hawaiian Turkey Burger with Pineapple.

pricey when serving a crowd.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Pamela Rapportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marinated Flank Steak and Mushrooms recipe is great for a cookout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The marinade] adds lots of ďŹ&#x201A;avor to an inexpensive cut,â&#x20AC;? Pamela points out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be sure to slice it across the grain when serving.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great tip from Pamela.

By cutting against the grain youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have tender slices of meat.

I love the ďŹ&#x201A;avor sesame oil gives to dishes. Combined with the soy sauce and other ingredients it helps to make for one great marinade. The mushrooms on top

complement the steak perfectly, but if you want to leave them off, then skip them. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still have one great steak.

Susan Felicianoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grilled Vegetables with a Tangy Sauce are fresh and ďŹ&#x201A;avorful. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fabulous without the sauce. But with the sauce, oh my, it takes these veggies up a level or two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love making up ďŹ&#x201A;avorful sauces for marinating and basting,â&#x20AC;? Susan shared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I used to try to avoid things that required basting, but after doing it a few times and noticing the difference in the

ďŹ nished product, I am now a fan.â&#x20AC;?

Basting is the key adding so much ďŹ&#x201A;avor. You can also customize this recipe by using your favorite vegetables or what you ďŹ nd fresh at your market. This is also a great recipe if you happen to have a vegetarian in the crowd.

As you gather around the grill and enjoy the day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with some great food â&#x20AC;&#x201C; take a moment to remember those Soldiers who fought for our freedom. Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Infrastructure can make the rain go away

By Chris Ausink Askhrgreen.org

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rain, rain, go away, come back another dayâ&#x20AC;? is a familiar nursery rhyme we all know. Our storm water infrastructures help make rain â&#x20AC;&#x153;go away.â&#x20AC;?

But do we really understand how our city storm water management system works? Engineers have designed a system for removing excess rain water. It is called â&#x20AC;&#x153;storm water infrastructure.â&#x20AC;?

The system does not treat the rain water. Instead, it

directs the rain water to a nearby creek, river or the Chesapeake Bay. It does not take out oil, paint, soaps, fertilizers, grass clippings, leaves, yard debris, and litter including cigarette butts and tips. Those items pollute and plug up our drainage system,

Roberta Broussard’s Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole is the definition of breakfast decadence.

I loved the blueberries, but feel free to try with any fruit that’s in season. Blackberries or strawberries would be fabulous!

Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible.

Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto, to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven, with the help of Professor X, must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

online For more information about scholarships, visit www. anchorscholarship.com

More than a hundred active and retired service members participated in the 4th annual 5K Anchor Run at Naval Station (NAVSTA) Norfolk, May 21.

The Anchor Run is an event hosted by the Anchor Scholarship Foundation which provides scholarships to eligible family members – children and spouses – of active-duty, retired or honorably discharged surface Navy personnel.

“The Foundation has grown from four $500 scholarships awarded in 1981 to more than 40 scholarships valued at $100,000 in 2015,” Executive Director of Anchor Scholarship Foundation Danielle Dawley said. “These scholarships recognize deserving and gifted Navy dependents [officer and enlisted, children and spouses].”

The command with the most participation at the event was the wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD-5), which was awarded an opportunity to give a named scholarship on behalf of their command at the scholarship award ceremony in June.

Although Bataan had the most participation at the event, USS Normandy (CG-60) was recognized with winning six out of eleven first prizes in various categories.

More than 20 commands were represented.

“It’s wonderful to see everybody that excited about anchor scholarship and the fact that we are truly family,” Director of Operations of Anchor Scholarship Foundation Ingrid Turner said. “Not everybody has a dream to be in the Navy, so we should support everyone’s dream because they have supported the Navy by supporting their parents through deployment, and it’s nice to see some of the ships competing a little bit against each other."

The course started at the Pennsylvania House on NAVSTA Norfolk, continuing alongside Willoughby Bay – past the piers – ending at the starting point.

Along the course were volunteers from the Junior Navy Reserve Officers Training Corps from I.C. Norcom High School in Portsmouth who cheered the runners on.

“The volunteers greeted me at the beginning and were there to cheer me on throughout the race and that was great to see.”

Petty Officer 3rd Class Raul Florencio from USS Arlington (LPD-24) said, who completed the course first with a time of 19:47.

Even though the race was met with thunderstorms, the runners were committed to completing the course – showing their support for the event.

I was getting looser throughout the race. We were making adjustments, but werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t making big enough ones.â&#x20AC;? -Kyle Larson

ALL-STAR RACE DELIVERS CONFUSION AND GREAT RACING

By Rick Minter Universal Uclick

NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016 Sprint All-Star Race and the preliminary Sprint Showdown produced some of the best racing the circuit has seen in quite a while. There was Trevor Bayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-wide, up-the-middle pass to win the ďŹ rst of three showdown segments, and with it a berth in the All-Star Race. Then Kyle Larson prevailed over Chase Elliott in a door-banging, tire-smoking run to the ďŹ nish line in the third showdown segment. And in the ďŹ nal segment of the All-Star Race, Larson again found himself battling for the win, but this time Joey Logano emerged with the lead, speeding away to take his ďŹ rst All-Star win while Larson bounced off the wall and left Charlotte Motor Speedway a disappointed young man.

But afterward, many fans and drivers were talking about an unforeseen scenario that played out at the end of the ďŹ rst All-Star segment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a series of developments that left drivers, fans and even TV commentators confused, and about half the All-Star ďŹ eld a lap behind the leaders.

According to the All-Star format, all drivers had to make a green-ďŹ&#x201A;ag stop during the ďŹ rst 50-lap segment.

Matt Kenseth and his team decided to make their stop late in the segment, so they could take just two tires, then stop under the yellow ďŹ&#x201A;ag and get two more. The strategy was that his yellow ďŹ&#x201A;ag stop would be quicker than those who took four tires, while his two changed under green would have only a handful of laps on them, giving him essentially four fresh tires and track position for the restart.

The problem arose when the

with four fresh tires.

Still, the battle for the win was a classic, with the 23-year-old Larson hanging tough against 25-yearold Logano. With two laps to go, Logano, who restarted the segment in sixth place, caught Larson. Despite Larsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempts to replay the moves that won him the showdown with Chase Elliott, Logano made the pass and went on to win.

Logano had praise for Larson, who is still seeking his ďŹ rst Sprint Cup victory and has had strong runs in recent weeks, including a runner-up ďŹ nish at Dover a week ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew what I was up against after watching the showdown,â&#x20AC;? Logano said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew we were going to race really hard. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for a million bucks.â&#x20AC;?

Logano said he was careful not to let Larson get in position to make his car loose, as Larson had done to Elliott earlier in the day, and that was

caution ďŹ&#x201A;ag ďŹ&#x201A;ew for a spin on the track before Kenseth could make his ďŹ rst stop. Since he was the leader of the race at that point, many of the drivers behind him who had made their stops were trapped a lap down. Kenseth was penalized one lap for not making his mandatory green-ďŹ&#x201A;ag stop.

Having so many drivers a lap down threw a wrench into the format for the ďŹ nish, which was planned so that from nine to 11 drivers would stop for fresh tires before the ďŹ nal segment, with the remainder of the ďŹ eld restarting in front of them for the 13-lap run to the ďŹ nish.

With only 13 drivers on the lead lap, that left just two out front â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch.

Without a lot of others in between them and lacking fresher tires, they were sitting ducks and immediately were passed by drivers

the key to his victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just good, hard racing there at the end,â&#x20AC;? Logano said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Larson] is a heck of a racer. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to win a lot of races, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to race against him and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to see the youth in this sport.â&#x20AC;?

Larson, who hit the wall trying to keep Logano at bay and faded to sixteenth at the ďŹ nish, could not hide his disappointment after the race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hate that I keep letting my team down,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did everything right. They worked their tails off after I got all the damage in the showdown.â&#x20AC;?

Larson said, the main reason he lost is that his No. 42 Chevrolet wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handling well enough to hold off Logano. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was getting looser throughout the race,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were making adjustments, but werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t making big enough ones.â&#x20AC;?

That allowed Logano to close on him when it counted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tried to move around at that point, and he did a good job of sidedrafting me and getting me slowed down enough to get kind of ahead of me,â&#x20AC;? Larson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just got loose getting into that corner. I deďŹ nitely didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over-correct. I was just going fast, got loose, lost control and hit the wall.â&#x20AC;?

Larson went on to say that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to take the next big step and win a race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks to everyone at the race shop for working hard and getting our race cars a lot better,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been fun recently to run up front and contend for wins. I just have to ďŹ gure out how to do it.â&#x20AC;?
