USS Newport News returns from deployment

SUBMARINE WARFARE PIN RETURNS TO SEA TO CONTINUE MORE THAN 70-YEARS OF SERVICE

From Submarine Force Atlantic Public Affairs NORFOLK

The Los Angeles fast-attack submarine USS Newport News (SSN 750) returned from a regularly scheduled deployment, June 10, to Naval Station Norfolk.

Newport News is commanded by Cmdr. Patrick Clark, who became the submarine’s 14th commanding officer on August 29, 2013. While deployed, the crew of Newport News executed the chief of naval operation’s maritime strategy in supporting national security interests and maritime security operations.

NORFOLK

Sailors and civilians from Naval Station (NAVSTA) Norfolk participated in the 28th annual Clean the Bay Day, June 4.

All over Hampton Roads, more than 6,000 volunteers, including active-duty military and civilian personnel, removed 60 tons of trash from 300 miles of shoreline and roadway during the event, according to a preliminary count by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, which sponsored the clean-up.

A third generation submarine officer received his submarine warfare (gold dolphins) in a ceremony held on the mess desks of the Los Angeles-class attack submarine USS Boise (SSN 764), May 30.

Lt. j.g. Bryan Tobin was pinned by Boise Commanding Officer Cmdr. Chris Osborn, while Executive Officer Lt. Cmdr. Mark Allen proctored the time-honored ceremony.

“This qualification means so much to me,” Tobin said.

“It’s one thing to be able to set a goal and achieve it, but to know that my achievement makes me a contributing part of the team – that’s undeniably valuable.”

“It’s an honor to share in this special moment and award a junior officer that has such close ties with the submarine forces’ history,” Osborn said. “Not only did he earn his place within our submarine history, but he is personally carrying on a tradition that runs deep in the Tobin family.”

Unbeknownst to the Chesapeake native, Tobin’s father anticipated him reaching this goal and provided the executive officer with a set of dolphins to be used during the pinning ceremony.

These dolphins were first earned by his grandfather, Jim Tobin, in 1943 while serving aboard USS Steelhead (SS 280) during the early years of submarine combat in WWII. These dolphins were later pinned on his father, Bob Tobin, in 1978 while serving aboard USS Alexander (SSBN 617).

Since Jim and Bob earned their dolphins as enlisted Sailors, Bob had the dolphins electroplated with gold so that his son would be able to wear the same set.

MARINE CORPS RESERVE SQUADRON TRANSITIONS TO NEW PLATFORM

By MC3 Jeanyra A. Mateo Naval Station Norfolk Public Affairs NORFOLK

Marine Medium Tilt-Rotor Squadron (VMM) 774, based out of Naval Station (NAVSTA) Norfolk, recently transitioned from the medium-tilt tandem rotor transport helicopter CH-46E Sea Knight to the tilt-rotor aircraft MV-22B Osprey.

The Osprey is the medium-lift aircraft that combines the versatility of a helicopter with the speed of a turboprop airplane to provide assault support transportation to the Marine Air Group Task Force by moving people, equipment, and supplies in order to support assigned operations afloat or ashore. “Though the Osprey has been serving both ashore and afloat since 2007 in operational capacity, the first MV-

22B arrived to NAVSTA Norfolk in 2016,� VMM-774’s Executive Officer Major John A. Fabbri said. “Transitioning to this aircraft is a bitter sweet evolution. The CH-46E was used for more than 50 years to help transport Marines and Sailors.

However, it is exciting to have the Osprey which has carried Marines and Sailors for the last decade during the both peace time and combat operations serving the fleet from such a historically rich and currently viable location as Naval Station Norfolk.�

VMM-774’s Commanding Officer Lt. Col. Eric G. Burns spoke of the training behind the transition from the Sea Knight to the Osprey. “Pilots and aircrew members that once worked on the CH-46E are constantly training with Marines that have a specialty in the Osprey,� Burns said. “The squadron is a mixture of MV-22B

pilots and crew and CH-46E, schooling is also provided to Marines to make the transition as effective as possible. This replacement from an older and legendary aircraft to more modern one shows the new evolution in assault support.�

Maj. Jedidiah Howard, a pilot for VMM-774, spoke of the excitement associated with the transition. “The Osprey can go a lot further, a lot faster and can carry more supplies than our previous aircraft,� Howard said. “It is exciting to be a part of the future of aviation.�

The first Osprey arrived to NAVSTA Norfolk on Jan. 27 and the first official test flight took place on April 7. The transition of HMM-774 to VMM-774 is needed as part of the established U.S. Marine Corps Aviation Plan replacing CH-46E aircraft and enhancing the mission and combat capability of the medium-lift community.

Child Development Center earns 5-star accreditation

By Lt. j.g. Tara Cutner Naval Station Norfolk Public Affairs NORFOLK

Naval Station Norfolk Willoughby’s Child Development Center (CDC) earned their National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), June 1.

All DOD centers are mandated by the Military Child Care Act of 1987 to be accredited through the NAEYC. This NAEYC accreditation validates the highest quality of care that is provided to children and families on a daily basis at the Willoughby CDC. The NAEYC is the nation’s leading organization of early childhood professionals. Their accreditation system was created in 1985 to set professional standards for early childhood education, and to help families identify highquality preschools, child care centers and other early education programs.

Only eight percent of all preschools and other early childhood programs are currently accredited by NAEYC. “I am proud of the teachers, management, and support staff that have committed not only to the program but to each family,� Director of Child and Youth Programs Shannon Lowe said.

To earn NAEYC accreditation, the CDC went through an extensive selfstudy process, measuring the program and its services against the ten new NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards and more than 400 related accreditation criteria.

The program received NAEYC accreditation after an on-site visit by NAEYC assessors to ensure that the program meets each of the ten NAEYC program standards. NAEYC accredited programs are also subject to unannounced visits during their accreditation, which lasts for five years.

The Willoughby CDC has been open

for five years; it is one of the Navy’s largest centers that care for 288 children each day. The teachers provide daily care to children six weeks through five years of age. The CDC operates a full kitchen providing two healthy meals and a snack to each child every day. Each classroom opens up to an age appropriate playground that keeps the children entertained, with climbing equipment and sand boxes. The CDC also offers ways for parents and family members to participate in activities with their children throughout the year including parades, carnivals, and classroom celebrations. “The military families that we serve have so many challenges in their everyday lives, our goal is to ensure that we are exceeding their expectations when it comes to providing quality care and supporting their child’s social, emotional and developmental growth,�

Lowe said.

Sailors participate in improvisational theater to rehearse for real life

By MC2 Benjamin Dobbs U.S. Fleet Forces Public Affairs NORFOLK

Hampton Roads Sailors attended a performance education workshop led by the social theater group Pure Praxis at Naval Station (NAVSTA) Norfolk, June 8.

Pure Praxis is a team of actors, facilitators, educators and trained victim advocates who were contracted by the DON Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (DON SAPRO). Their mission is to promote social change by using live, improvisational theater to recreate difficult real-world situations so audiences can rehearse proactive responses.

Program and content administrator Nicole Snell helps Pure Praxis train and empower service members at military installations.

“My passion is to end sexual assault,” Snell said. “It’s a worldwide issue. The work we are doing here is to change the culture that condones sexual assault by giving people a safe space to practice positive intervention strategies.”

Pure Praxis’s message has reached more than 37,000 military service members worldwide. Their visit to NAVSTA Norfolk was one of nine stops during a two-day trip that included shows at Newport News, the aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth.

“There is a real mission need to go after [people committing] sexual assault, because more than other destructive behaviors, [sexual assault] is polarizing and undermines mission readiness more insidiously than the others do,” U.S. Fleet Forces SAPR officer Capt. Chuck Marks said.

Navy Cargo Handling Battalion 1 Logistics Specialist 1st Class Shauntez Fair joined the actors on stage to participate in one of the scenarios.

“There are a lot of different ways to handle a situation,” Fair said. “There are a lot of background things involved in what’s going on with all parties, be it the victim or the person actually committing the act. This helps us know a little more before getting involved in something or making judgment.”

Facilitator and actor Benji Kaufman has been with Pure Praxis for more than one year.

“Today, we are focusing on post-assault retaliation, reprisal, education and prevention,” Kaufman said. “We find that with this engaging training, the feedback we get is that they really enjoy being hands on. Sailors like to see these scenarios acted out in front of them and having the opportunity to get up and practice their ideas on a stage in front of their peers. Commands love the training that we do. They love the scenarios that we put forward and they really like seeing their Sailors and Marines come up on stage and succeed and really show their leadership skills.”

REGIONAL SECURITY EXPERTS EDUCATE IKE CREW

By MC3 Cole Keller USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Public Affairs ATLANTIC OCEAN

Instructors and regional subject matter experts from the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) are embarked aboard the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) as part of the Regional Security Education Program (RSEP).

RSEP is designed to educate Sailors on cultural and geopolitical issues facing countries they may visit during deployment. Several professors, including Dr. Michael Rubin have embarked Eisenhower to prepare Sailors to be better ambassadors of the U.S. “Through a better understanding of local cultures and societies, we strive to enable a better understanding of the region and predict the reactions of the local communities to the work Eisenhower conducts in the area,” Rubin said.

RSEP representatives are handpicked by an admiral or captain and boast extremely specialized degrees. Rubin has a doctorate in Iranian history and handles issues on Iran and Iraq for the office of the secretary of defense.

“We are selected on the basis that we can combine an under-

standing of policy, significant on the ground experience and academic expertise in the region to achieve our mission,” Rubin said.

“The goal is not to replicate the standard Navy lectures, but be able to spark a conversation and further a Sailor’s understanding of how problems and conflicts are currently unfolding.”

While most shipboard briefings are focused on tactical and operational needs, RSEP concentrates more on a geopolitical strategic angle. The briefs are not only designed for the staff or those making serious political decisions, but the younger Sailors who may be unaware of the culture in foreign countries.

“RSEP is designed to help everyone from the admiral to the new Sailors,” Rubin said. “It’s an outreach program to help paint a picture of the customs and traditions of the countries we might visit on deployment, particularly the Middle East.”

The RSEP representatives are more than willing to help out anyone with a desire to learn more about the Navy’s presence in the areas of responsibility.

“We do have tailor-made briefs we present, but another very important function that we like to

perform is that we’re sort of the ‘human Google’ when it comes to all things Middle East,” RESP representative Dr. Bob Rook said.

“There are a lot of people that catch us in the [passageway] who have questions that may not be specifically addressed in a brief.

We are here to answer those questions.”

With almost all of the world’s greatest powers having a presence in the Middle East, the briefs give Eisenhower Sailors a greater awareness of what is happening on a broad scale.

“We hope that when we leave the ship we will have initiated a conversation about the broader issues Eisenhower will encounter in the region,” Rubin said. “We want every Sailor to have a better understanding that every mission has a role in the big picture of national security.”

Eisenhower is deployed as part of the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group, and is conducting naval operations in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of responsibility in support of U.S. national security interests in Europe.

Truman Carrier Strike Group continues mission against ISIL From Carrier Strike Group 8 Public Affairs MEDITERRANEAN SEA

MC3 Anthony Flynn An F/A-18C Super Hornet, assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 83, prepares to land on the flight deck of aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group is deployed in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of responsibility.

The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group marked its 205th day of deployment June 7, continuing its mission to degrade and ultimately defeat ISIL in support of Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR).

Since beginning operations from the Mediterranean Sea, June 3, strike group aircraft launched 68 combat sorties and delivered 52 precision guided munitions to targets in Iraq and Syria to dislocate ISIL leadership, target fighters, and degrade the terrorist group’s finance generating capacity.

Overall, the strike group has flown 1,856 combat sorties and expended 1,481 pieces of ordnance.

“We are having an impact,” Commander of Carrier Strike Group 8 Rear Adm. Bret Batchelder said.

“However, it’s not just about the number of weapons we’ve put on target, it’s about the combined efforts of the 65 coalition nations participating in OIR who, together, have retaken approximately 45 percent of the populated land ISIL once controlled in Iraq, and are improving regional stability and conditions for the indigenous people of Iraq and Syria.”

Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor holds family symposium

By MC2 Erica Yelland Navy Public Affairs Support Element East VIRGINIA BEACH

Eight wounded warriors and their caregivers shared testimonials at the inaugural Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Navy Wounded Warrior (NWW) – Safe Harbor Family Symposium, June 3, at the Holiday Inn Oceanside in Virginia Beach.

NWW is the Navy’s sole organization for coordinating the non-medical care of seriously wounded, ill and injured Sailors or Coast Guardsmen and providing resources and support to their families. All active duty, reserves, and medically retired service members are eligible for enrollment.

“These family symposiums are really wonderful opportunities to highlight the stories of the wounded warriors, families and caregivers,” program director of NWW – Safe Harbor Capt. Brent Breining said.

“The key thing with our program is providing an additional layer of support for that Sailor or Coast Guardsman that’s going through medical recovery.”

Eileen Kennedy, mother of deceased NWW enrollee Petty Officer 3rd Class Stephen James, said her son’s non-medical care provider was a great benefit during her time with the program.

“She made an impossibly difficult situation a little bit easier to deal with,” Kennedy said. “When you’re dealing with the day-today medical crisis, it was invaluable to have someone there to help you with everything else.”

Lessening stress on enrollees and their families are part of NWW’s mission, Breining said. “We let them know they’re not alone in the fight and help them [with] all those non-medical issues that may be

NWW helps enrollees test their limits by encouraging members to try challenging physical activities.

“They opened doors to things that I didn’t think would be available to me as a wounded warrior,” Nianais Martinez said, a wounded warrior who suffered nerve damage from a motorcycle accident. “The Navy Wounded Warrior program has taught me that nothing or no one can put limitations on me, because I am just as capable as anybody else.”

Martinez said, being in the program

helped her reinvent herself physically and opened her eyes to new possibilities to life after the military.

“I didn’t know that occupational therapy existed until I received it, and now I know it’s what I want to do once I am out of the Navy,” Martinez said. “It’s helping others, and I love helping others. But it’s also reteaching them how to do things. You adapt, move on, and overcome.”

“This is one of the most rewarding as-

signments that I’ve had in my 26 years in the Navy,” Breining said. “Giving back to Sailors and Coast Guardsman in their time of need, as they’re going through something that’s life changing, is what this program is all about.”

NWW plans on taking all the feedback they heard at the symposium and bettering the program, Breining said.

Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor hopes to continue this symposium annually.

“We wanted to give back to the community and help keep the base clean. It brings up morale and shows we care about the beatification of the base,” Chief Air Traffic Controlman Robert Rygg said.

Every item, no matter how small, was documented by team captains on blue sheets

before it was deposited into the garbage bags. For many of the volunteers the most common items collected were cigarette butts and shreds of plastic bags, some of which were partially buried in the sand.

At NAVSTA Norfolk, the cleanup began at Breezy Point Park and lasted for about three hours, with the Sailors scattering out all over the Mason Creek area to collect whatever trash and debris they could find.

“We picked up a lot of

trash that was scattered everywhere,” Rygg said. “The place definitely needed some good old fashioned tender loving care and we definitely accomplished that. I felt like we all helped to make a difference in keeping the bay clean.”

Since 1989, Clean the Bay Day has engaged more than 130,000 volunteers, who have removed approximately 5.8 million pounds of debris from nearly 5,500 miles of shoreline in Virginia alone.

BOISE | Pin returns to sea after 70 years Continued from A1 Now, 38 years after Tobin’s father was pinned and 73 years after his grandfather was pinned, Tobin was being pinned with the same set of dolphins that they wore.

Tobin was unaware of the historical significance of his newly inherited dolphins.

“Being able to wear a piece of my family’s history, only adds to the sense

of pride I have for accomplishing this goal,” Tobin said.

The Submarine Warfare Insignia, known as “dolphins” or “fish”, is a uniform breast pin worn by enlisted Sailors and officers of the Navy to indicate that they are qualified in submarine warfare. The pin’s design consisting of the bow view of a submarine, with bow planes rigged for diving, flanked by dolphins. To qualify, a Sailor must complete a qualification card,

pass a test and an oral board. During each of these tasks the Sailor must show a working knowledge of damage control, navigation, propulsion, combat, electronic and auxiliary systems.

The qualification board is made up of senior Sailors who are considered experts on their systems.

Tobin’s grandfather was buried at sea on July 31, 2011, from the bridge of USS Boise. His grandson would join the same ship four years later.

Sailor mail retires, direct delivery takes over From Submarine Force Atlantic Public Affairs NORFOLK

The Navy is modernizing its method for sending emails to Sailors aboard submarines, effective June 30. The 25-year-old “Sailor Mail” is migrating to the “Direct Delivery” system as a necessary improvement, ensuring the Navy has a supported program in the future.

Under the older Sailor Mail system, emails would automatically be modified to include removing attachments with the sender receiving a notification of the modification.

This will not happen with Direct Delivery and some attachments may be allowed, depending on mission and ship settings to control attachment size.

“The new system is bringing some improvements, but overall, families will see little change in the basic system for keeping in touch with their loved ones,” Master Chief Information Systems Technician Richard Okrasinski said.

“Your Sailor’s email address will not change, and emails should flow faster between you and your Sailor since we are eliminating a manual intermediate step.”

As before, ship connection speed will still be limited by operational and environmental conditions. However, emails will flow directly to the submarine if the vessel is communicating.

“A significant difference from the old system is that instead of your email being moved and processed on a classified network – required by the old system – it will be delivered directly to the boat via the unclassified network,” Okrasinski said.

Follow these steps to ensure a smooth transition between services: – Do not send emails with large attachments. Remember words do not use a lot of bandwidth, but forwarding a long email thread can become a large file. Adding background pictures and images in the signatures also takes up space.

By sending emails in plain text, you will help the email get on and off the boat sooner and more reliably.

– If you do not receive a response daily, please be patient. While underway, the ship may have limited connectivity to the unclassified network and may not receive all non-mission essential message traffic. Additionally, as in the past, some operations will prohibit the transmission of unclassified email.

– Remember, what you write is likely to be read by a human reviewer on board. The reviewer is a trusted member of the crew who has been trained on allowable content.

Shipyard NEX to undergo renovations

By Gene Varela General Manager of Portsmouth Scott Center Main Navy Exchange PORTSMOUTH

The Portsmouth Scott Center Main Navy Exchange (NEX) store will be undergoing renovations over the coming months and customers should be aware of upcoming changes.

It is a cyclical renovation, which is going to result in an expansion of many departments including uniforms, handbags, beverages, greeting cards, and adult beverages.

There will be an expanded number of checkouts and an additional new entrance for customer convenience.

The $1.5 million project began in May and will be completed by the NEX Regional Facilities team around September 2016. In addition to some expanded merchandise

assortments, the store will get a complete update including new carpet and tile, brand new merchandise fixtures, complete renovation of the barber shop, new associate lounge, updated administration office space and new exterior signing. There is no anticipated interruption of any business with the exception of the barber shop which will have to close for 7-10 days when it is renovated.

Renovation will begin in the soft lines and apparel department and move through the store in 15 phases with the final phase being the new package store space. The current package store will remain open until the new store space is ready. The gas station at the package store will remain open as a “pay at the pump” station after the old package store closes. Children’s apparel and garden merchandise are being eliminated to create the space needed for the expanded assortments.

The Gay, Lesbian and Supporting Sailors (GLASS) association aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) hosted a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) pride month ceremony, June 7.

LGBT pride month commemorates the events of June 1969 in New York, known as the Stonewall riots which are largely regarded as the beginning of the LGBT rights movement, and works to achieve equal justice and equal opportunity for LGBT Americans. The DOD has chosen “Celebration” as the theme for this year’s observance.

“Today we acknowledge the painstaking labor of Americans, whose personal sacrifices and determination were instrumental in the struggle for civil rights,” vice president of Eisenhower’s GLASS association Boatswain’s Mate 2nd Class Blanca Arredondo said. “Together, we celebrate the progress we have made in ensuring equality for all individuals.”

The event was the second annual celebration of LGBT pride month aboard the ship, and included remarks by Eisenhower’s Commanding Officer Capt. Paul C. Spedero Jr., as well as testimonials, a cake-cutting and video presentation.

“Throughout our nation’s history, even though we began with the best of intentions, we have quite often struggled as a society to fully appreciate what we were fighting to institute and defend,” Spedero said. “Prejudice and persecution have been prevalent throughout our nation’s history and have encompassed not only a bias based on demographic differences – such as race, gender and sexual orientation – but also discrimination based on background, culture, and even thought. Diversity is not just about removing discrimination and other unnecessary barriers. It serves to make our Navy and our military stronger and more representative of the nation we serve.”

Members of GLASS spoke about their personal experiences as gay and lesbian Sailors, as well as the difficulties transgender service members still face today.

“Last year, I had the opportunity to attend a pride event at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.,” Seaman Cayla George said. “What I didn’t know at the time was that I would witness history. My shipmates and I stood side-byside and watched as the secretary of defense stated that sexual orientation would from that day forward be covered by the equal opportunity policy of all the branches of the military, and that discrimination based on a service member’s sexual orientation would not be tolerated.”

“Pride isn’t about rainbows and glitter, parades or cake,” George continued. “Pride is about furthering equality in our community and to be visible for those in the past who had to remain hidden and silent.”

Aviation Electronics Technician 3rd Class Amanda Haas told the story of her friend, a female to male transgender Sailor, and the difficult path they walk as a minority currently unable to serve openly according the DOD. “Transgender people, people who feel their sex assigned at birth does not align with who they really are inside, are banned from the Navy; those who are already in must serve in silence,” Haas said. “They live double lives or try to deny themselves a happy, fulfilling life.”

Military policy and legislation had previously prohibited gay individuals from serving, and subsequently from serving openly. In turn, a legislative policy was enacted in a 1993 bill that continued the ban under which LGBT individuals were prohibited from serving, but it also prohibited investigation into a member’s sexual orientation without suspicion. The new policy was known as “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and was seen as a compromise between the two political efforts.

The Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act of 2010 created a future pathway to allow the LGBT community to serve in the military. This repeal would only take effect with sufficient certification it would not harm military readiness, followed by a 60-day waiting period. In early 2011, military leaders began issuing training plans for the expected repeal of the ban. A court order on July 6, 2011, required the Pentagon to immediately suspend the ban, which the government complied with. Prohibitions were entirely ended September 2011 after Congress voted to repeal the policy.

The event aboard Eisenhower gave Sailors a chance to show their support for LGBT pride month, learn about GLASS and commemorate the progress made towards equality while highlighting the importance of diversity in U.S. military history.

“I’m appreciative of the team that put today’s program together in recognition of the dedication and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender members,” Spedero said. “We recognize their continuing contributions even in light of seemingly insurmountable obstacles placed in their path through ignorance and prejudice. The Navy and the entire DOD is committed to removing those obstacles and recognizing all for their merit and their devotion to the defense of our nation. And while we recognized the injustice of the past and even the struggle that continues today, we will also celebrate the progress that has been made to ensure a more inclusive and stronger fighting force.”

Adm. Michelle Howard took command of Allied Joint Force Command Naples and U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa during a ceremony held at the Joint Force Command (JFC) Naples Headquarters, June 7.

Howard, the 29th commander of JFC Naples, assumed command from Adm. Mark Ferguson, who is slated to retire from the Navy. Howard previously served as the 38th vice chief of naval operations.

In addition to Howard and Ferguson, the ceremony’s official party included Supreme Allied Commander Europe Army Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti, Com-

MILLINGTON, TENN.

WASHINGTON

The transition to requesting retirement, including requests to transfer to the Fleet Reserve and separations online, was announced June 8 in NAVADMIN 133/16.

Retirement and separations (R&S) will be implemented incrementally through the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) beginning in June 2016, and continuing throughout the summer and fall. The initial roll out will include the commands supported by Personnel Support Detachment (PSD) Gulfport, Mississippi; Little Creek; and Memphis, Tennessee.

Once the initial three PSDs complete implementation satisfactorily, a phased roll out of the remaining PSDs will follow. A schedule will be posted and announced.

Additionally, NSIPS Web-Afloat implementation timeline is dependent on the ship modernization process and will be completed in about 24 months after initial rollout.

“The transition to requesting and routing retirement and separations requests is the first end-to-end personnel process to be re-engineered,” Assistant Chief of Naval Personnel for Pay and Personnel Ann Stewart said. “This

“This was a very hard decision, perhaps the hardest I have made since becoming CNO,” Richardson said.

“Every nation around the world seeks to replicate the role played by U.S. Navy chief petty officers. After spending some time with our fleet master chiefs, it’s crystal clear why. Each is superb in their own unique way. They really are the perfect blend of experience and professionalism, with little difference in their impressive resumes. As we encounter increased competition around the globe, the nation needs a capable and ready Navy today more than ever. Master Chief Giordano will play a central role in leading our team through the challenges and opportunities of today and tomorrow.”

JUST LISTEN: THE FULL STORY OF A FATHER

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse contributor

I stepped from airport baggage claim into the steamy Richmond, Virginia, sun, and found a bench at curbside pick up. I hadn’t seen my father in a while and a twinge of nerves caught in my throat.

When in a good mood, Dad is fun, larger than life in every way. While watching his favorite sitcoms, his loud and uncontrollable laughter is infectious. Also, he has an uncanny ability to seek out the best restaurants, always over-ordering for the table, and insisting on paying the bill.

But like many people, my father has a moody side. When angry, he makes it uncomfortable for everyone, especially those he loves the most.

We had both traveled to Richmond for my cousin’s wedding, and agreed to share a hotel room.

Knowing my father was a man of extremes, I didn’t know what to expect.

Suddenly, I heard three sharp blasts of a car horn. Then three more. I stood up to investigate, just as I heard the blasts again. They were coming from a car driven by my dad. Good mood, I detected gratefully. I knew that the obnoxious greeting was my father’s way of being playful.

I hopped into the passenger’s seat, and while exchanging side hugs over the center console, I noticed that his skin was like crepe. Getting old, I thought.

“Okay,” my father said in his characteristically domineering voice, “we don’t have to be at the rehearsal dinner until six, so I thought I’d take you on a tour of Sandston.” I knew the excursion to my father’s hometown was more for him than me, but I was curious to see the setting of his upbringing.

“When I was a kid, this road seemed to go on forever,” he said of Sandston’s sleepy main drag. He pointed to a faded drug store sign, explaining that his nanny, Irene, used to take him there for iced cream. “She wouldn’t go in with us, because she never wore shoes.”

We turned slowly down Garland Avenue, and my father told me about the “creek” he used to wade in, now a grassy ditch along the side of the road. Among the line of tiny steep-roofed houses, he pointed out the one he used to live in, where his parents divorced when he was only six years old. We rounded the corner to the school, and on to a small civil war cemetery, as my father told of being sent to Fork Union Military School at the age of ten.

For once, I let him do all the talking, and he told all the stories I’d heard before, and a few I hadn’t. Something in me sensed that my father needed to reflect on his life, and the best thing for me to do was to listen.

“I was devastated,” he commented about his father leaving. “I always wanted the kind of dad who would take me fishing, but he just wasn’t that way. … After my mother sent me to Fork Union, I held the record for the most runaway attempts. But eventually, the school became like family to me.”

Later, in our hotel room, my father napped while I settled into a polite routine intended to minimize the awkwardness of the situation. Although we had visited each other many times over the years, sharing a hotel room was chummier than we’d been in decades. But something in me sensed that my father simply needed a witness, not only to his stories, but to the advancement of his life.

Lisa Smith Molinari’s father, Durwood Smith.

Rather than armoring myself with defenses formed during rockier moments in our relationship, I opened myself to see my father as he was: a 73-year-old character with a unique story to tell. That weekend, I enjoyed his company, helping him with his buttons, brewing him coffee, researching local breakfast joints, and even plucking a particularly conspicuous white hair from his nose.

“This has been nice,” my father said after breakfast at The City Diner on our final morning together. Grateful for having had the opportunity to get to know my father in the context of his full life story, I genuinely agreed.

TRICARE: Summer time is disaster prep time From TRICARE

Summer rays and cool breezes can quickly turn into unexpected lightning and blinding rains. TRICARE makes it easy to get the care you need in the event of a natural disaster.

In emergencies, the DOD can approve a waiver of primary care manager (PCM) referrals. Waiving the PCM referral requirement allows affected beneficiaries to get care from TRICARE-authorized providers without a PCM referral while avoiding point-of-service charges.

The “Emergency Refill Too Soon” waiver authorizes early prescription refills for affected beneficiaries. When a prescription waiver is

authorized for an impacted area, information about early refills is posted on the TRICARE website. Beneficiaries who’ve signed up for TRICARE updates via email or SMS text-messaging receive the update directly. Also check TRICARE’s social media pages for updates.

Severe weather can happen at any time, during any season. Disaster preparation is important and being prepared is just as essential as knowing how to get help. Everyone should have an emergency “Go To” kit, and copies of important documents like: your uniformed services ID card, other health insurance cards you may have in addition to TRICARE, driver’s license, social security card, a list of prescriptions and an up-

to-date shot record.

Have the numbers to family doctors and the regional contractor close at hand for help getting care. Make a disaster plan and practice it. TRICARE has a downloadable contact wallet card with all the contacts you need for help with your health plan. Visit the TRICARE website for details on how to stay safe and get the care you need in a disaster.

Navy recruiters; Navy Special Warfare and Special Operations teams; Navy science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) tours; and a social media team made their presence known at the 2016 ESPN Summer X Games held at the Circuit of the Americas, June 2-5.

Thousands of attendees visited the America’s Navy display and took the opportunity to view a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle, don an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) suit, operate EOD robots, pose with the Navy’s chalk art, operate robotics modules and the Virtual SeaPerch Challenge with the Oculus, and participate in the Warrior Challenge Pull-up Competition to win a custom skate deck.

Participants included Sailors from: Navy Recruiting District (NRD) San Antonio, Texas; Navy Recruiting Command’s Marketing and Advertising Department and Warrior Challenge Program Office; EOD Training and Evaluation Unit 2; EOD Mobile Unit 12; EOD Expeditionary Support Unit 2; Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 3; U.S. Navy Parachute Team (Leap Frogs); and Naval Sea Systems Command Southwest Regional Maintenance Center.

The Warrior Challenge, one of the main events of America’s Navy at X Games, gave the opportunity for men, women and children to demonstrate their strength and endurance by performing maximum pull-ups.

“We had hundreds of people test their strength,” Lt. Cmdr. Allen Owens said. “We had small children

to older adults compete daily for a skate deck. The Warrior Challenge allows us to meet with people who are in a high state of fitness and provides us the opportunity to engage with those individuals regarding some of our special warfare/special operations career fields.”

According to Owens, the Navy attends X Games to showcase the great things the Navy does for the country and to spread awareness of America’s Navy, to include opportunities within the Navy.

During the first day of X Games, the Leap Frogs took to the air, jumping from 6,000 feet into the Flat Track area of the Circuit of the Americas.

On day two of the X Games, seven-time medalist Morgan Wade visited the Navy display and signed autographs and participated in the Warrior Challenge.

According to NRD San Antonio Commanding Officer Cmdr. Karen Muntean, X-Games allowed the unique opportunity for recruiters to engage with thousands of people at a single event.

“Being a part of X Games is important and valuable to the NRD because it provides us an environment for us spread Navy Awareness,” Muntean said.

“X Games provides a diverse market for recruiters to engage with young people and provide them information on life in the Navy and about the various career opportunities the Navy has to offer.

LED LIGHTING BRIGHTENS FUTURE AT NSA ANNAPOLIS

U.S., Indian, Japanese Maritime Forces to participate in Malabar 2016

By MC1 Pedro A. Rodriguez Naval District Washington Public Affairs WASHINGTON

Naval Support Activity (NSA) Annapolis has increased efforts to go green and promote energy efficiency by upgrading exterior lighting systems to LED lights in almost all U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) buildings and athletic fields as part of the Great Green Fleet (GGF) initiative.

LED is a type of solid-state lighting that uses a semiconductor to convert electricity into light. Today’s LED bulbs can be 6-7 times more energy efficient than conventional incandescent lights and cut energy use by more than 80 percent. “Naval Facilities and Engineering Command invested $1.07 million to retrofit 609 street lights at both the U.S. Naval Academy and North Severn with energy efficient LED lighting,� NSA Annapolis Public Works Electrical Engineer Jabe Nekula said. “This project substantially improved the appearance and light quality at the Naval Academy and North Severn, while cutting energy usage in half and extending normal service intervals by a factor of four.�

LED lights contain no mercury, and a recent Energy Department study determined LEDs have a much smaller environmental impact than incandescent bulbs. They also have an edge over compact fluorescent lights (CFLs), which are expected to grow over the next few years as LED technology continues its steady improvement. “For the most part, we have increased the lighting level substantially at our sports venues to a level where games can be televised, while reducing cost to provide energy,�

Nekula said. “In all cases we have improved the quality of the light so it’s ideally suited for the task at hand, we have increased the light level, and we have significant reduction of energy usage.�

Unlike incandescent bulbs – which release 90 percent of their energy as heat – LEDs use energy far more efficiently with little wasted heat.

Nekula explained the upgrade will bring big energy savings to the Navy. “Energy savings alone are projected to be approximately $285,000 annually, with life expectancy extended from five years to nearly 20 in street lighting only,� Nekula said.

The Navy will be investing more than $13 million total between street lighting, sports fields and USNA buildings.

Saving a projected $16.2 million for a period of 25 years, these savings are in addition to reducing maintenance costs. “Street lighting has transformed the nighttime appearance of the academy and new dome lighting has brought back to life the striking appearance of the chapel dome after dark,� Nekula said. “As the design manager, I consider this work to be the most relevant and personally satisfying I’ve had the pleasure to execute.�

According to the U.S. Department of Energy in 2012, about 49 million LEDs were installed in the U.S. – saving about $675 million in annual energy costs. Switching entirely to LED lights over the next two decades could save the U.S. $250 billion in energy costs, reduce electricity consumption for lighting by nearly 50 percent and avoid 1.8 billion metric tons of carbon emissions.

GGF is a yearlong, Department of the Navy initiative that demonstrates the sea service’s efforts to transform its energy use. As one of the secretary of the navy’s key energy goals, the purpose of the GGF is to make our Sailors and Marines better warfighters, able to go farther, stay longer and deliver more firepower. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus chose the name Great Green Fleet to honor President Theodore Roosevelt’s Great White Fleet, which helped usher in America as a global power on the world stage at the beginning of the 20th Century.

OCEANOGRAPHY WARRANT OFFICERS TO MAKE A RETURN

By George Lammons Naval Information Forces Stennis Public Affairs STENNIS SPACE CENTER, MISS.

The Navy is bringing warrant officers back to Naval Oceanography in 2018 after a 28-year hiatus.

In late March, the Navy Personnel Command released the message, NAVADMIN 079/16, reestablishing the program and at the same time disestablishing the Oceanography Limited Duty Officer (LDO) Program.

The message reads, “In order to meet the increasing demand for officers with specific technical meteorology and oceanography knowledge, skills and abilities, the secretary of the Navy has approved the establishment of the Oceanography Chief Warrant Officer (CWO) Designator.”

The first warrant officer candidates will be selected by the fiscal year 2018 board.

“The Navy wants to retain the technical expertise of the senior enlisted aerographer’s mates and to give Sailors opportunities to pursue their interests in the technical aspects of our work,” Oceanography Officer Community Manager Cmdr. Christi Montgomery said.

Montgomery said there are no commissioning programs available that provide advancement opportunities to allow continued focus on technical expertise within the community.

Senior enlisted Sailors increasingly gain administration and policy responsibilities, while the technical aspects of their specialties are de-emphasized.

LDOs with seniority are increasingly focused on officer and leadership responsibilities and less on the technical aspects of the job.

The revival of the CWO program also came partially out of necessity. The LDO and CWO Officer Sustainability Initiative, approved in 2010 and implemented in 2012, forced the information warfare LDO communities to become “off-ramp” communities, removing their control grade billets – lieutenant commander and above – and thus forcing those officers to either retire when

eligible or laterally transfer into the Integrated Warfare Community (IWC) restricted-line sister community, such as 1800 for oceanography.

In addition, the Officer Sustainability Initiative lowered the time-in-service eligibility requirement for LDO. Projections revealed the LDO community would be composed largely of first class petty officers, who have been advancing at 100 percent, and the LDO program would essentially become a junior officer accession source for the oceanography community.

“This future scenario was not an optimal solution either for the oceanography wardroom or the aerographer’s mate rating,” Montgomery said.

But the new program isn’t quite the same as the one discontinued 28 years ago. The former CWOs community was aerographer CWOs and focused on meteorology support, originally during WWII. “The original aerographer CWO community was created prior to the establishment, in 1975 of a single designator which combined meteorologists and oceanographers [and] geophysicists,” Montgomery said. “The new CWO community name is ‘Oceanography CWO.’ This matches the community name for 1,800 officers and supports our community’s expanded role in supporting the fleet in ocean-centric warfare areas. It does not, however, imply that the new CWOs will be solely supporting oceanography mission areas.

The proposed assignments for the new community span the same mission sets as our current officer and enlisted billet assignments.”

The fiscal year (FY) 2018 In-service Procurement Board will select the first oceanography CWOs for a FY 2018 commission. Application deadline to Navy Personnel Command will likely be October 1. To be eligible for the program, Sailors must have 14-20 years of service, with waivers up to 22 years of service for master chief petty officers only. Applicants must be E-7 (select) or above and must have previously qualified as aerographer’s mate forecasters (NEC 7412).

Montgomery said, plans at this point call for approximately three CWO selections per cycle. The number of accessions will allow the program to grow slowly and allow the numbers to adjust as the program develops, but the phasing plan and billet locations have not yet been released. The proposed community structure ensures promotion opportunity up to chief warrant officer 5.

The LDO and CWO community managers have submitted a proposal for LDO and CWO statutory promotion by competitive category by FY 2020. If approved, oceanography CWOs will compete for promotion at statutory boards with only Information Warfare community warrant officers. Oceanography LDOs compete with all LDOs in the Navy for promotion. Oceanography detailers will assign oceanography CWOs. How the existing LDOs fit into this new program has not been determined. BUPERS-3 is exploring the possibility for LDOs who do not yet have a permanent commission or are under a probationary officer status (O-1 to O-3) to revert to CWO if they desire to do so. There is currently nothing in law or policy to prevent this opportunity, but more work remains to ensure that all risks are mitigated and policy makers’ concerns are assuaged.

In the meantime, the oceanography community will be able to take advantage of a higher level of technical expertise and will be able to retain that capability longer.

“This is a very positive change for the METOC,” Montgomery said. “We want to keep the best technical leaders in our force in order to advance our support to the rapidly expanding naval mission set and platform base.”

MANAMA, BAHRAIN

Navy Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Bahrain graduated its first class of independent duty postal clerks (IDPC), each of whom earned their Navy enlisted classification (NEC) 3001, May 22-26.

Chief Logistics Specialist Erwin Edralin and Chief Logistics Specialist Carlos Martinez from Center for Service Support Learning Site San Diego, California, conducted the training in Bahrain.

NAVSUP FLC Bahrain Regional Postal Manager Timothy Lynch, NAVSUP FLC Bahrain, spoke at the graduation ceremony and offered some words of wisdom to the graduates.

“Our first IDPC class has finished here in Bahrain and it was a success,” Lynch said. “Fourteen activeduty and U.S. Navy Reserve students from various commands here in the region are now 3001 classified. We appreciate the help getting this started and hopefully it can become a regular thing.”

“We identified a training opportunity for our Sailors,” Lt. Cmdr. Ben Banaszewski said, “and after collaboration with FLC and forward deployed units in the AOR, we determined that it would be more cost and operationally effective to bring the training team to Bahrain instead of sending Sailors to the school in the U.S.” NAVSUP FLC Bahrain has more than 180 military and civilian personnel providing logistics support in the region. The command is one of eight FLCs worldwide in the NAVSUP Global Logistic Support (GLS) enterprise.

NAVSUP GLS provides global logistics for a global Navy. The organization is made up of more than 6,500 military and civilian logistics professionals operating from 105 locations worldwide, providing an extensive array of integrated global logistics and contracting services to Navy, Marine Corps, joint operational units, and allied forces across all warfare enterprises.

NAVY WEEK SYRACUSE BRINGS NAVY MEDICINE TO HEALTH CAREER STUDENTS

By Larry Coffey Navy Medicine Education and Training Command Public Affairs SYRACUSE, N.Y.

Navy Medicineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education and training director visited Syracuse School District leaders June 7, and spent time with students and faculty from two local high schools offering health career programs that can lead to an associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree.

Commander of Navy Medicine Education and Training Command and Navy Nurse Corps Director Rear Adm. Rebecca McCormick-Boyle was at Henninger High School and Public Leadership Academy as part of Navy Week Syracuse.

McCormick-Boyle discussed medical education and training with teachers and school program managers, and visited three classes to discuss the Navy and Navy Medicine missions with high school students participating in health career, Emergency Medical Tech-

nician (EMT) and Navy Junior ROTC programs.

McCormick-Boyle asked the first group of students if they know why the numbers 70, 80 and 90 are important to them and the nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than 70 percent of the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface is covered by water, 80 percent of the world lives close to a coast, and 90 percent of all world trade by volume travels by water,â&#x20AC;?

McCormick-Boyle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, water is very important. Your Navy keeps those waterways free, and your Navy protects and defends you and our nation. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission.â&#x20AC;?

She also explained Navy Medicineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission and how it supports the Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Navy Medicineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job is to keep the Navy and Marine Corps ready, healthy and on the job,â&#x20AC;? McCormick-Boyle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order for the Navy to do its job protecting you and keeping the sea lanes free, the Sailors have to be healthy.â&#x20AC;?

BEAUTIFUL HOMES, MODERN F LOOR PLANS, PERFECT LOCATIONS,

McCormick-Boyle delivered a brief audiovisual presentation that included video clips which explain how Navy Medicine performs its life-saving mission side-by-side with Marines in combat and with Sailors on, above and below the ocean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take care of our Sailors and Marines on the sea [aboard] ships, above the sea on aircraft, below the sea on submarines, and on the battlefield,â&#x20AC;? McCormick-Boyle said.

McCormick-Boyle shared her personal story and the opportunities Navy Medicine provided her. She described how those opportunities are still available for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health career students, and she showed a video that described Navy Medicineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humanitarian work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What surprised me the most is how much the Navy helps other nations, not just the United States,â&#x20AC;? Clegg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Navy is a blessing to the world, which is really good.â&#x20AC;?

Clegg wants to become a physical thera-

pist, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the Navy has physical therapists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love medicine, and I love exercise, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what brought me into medicine,â&#x20AC;?

Clegg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know a lot of those options were out there along with a chance to represent this country. Now that I know the Navy has physical therapy, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll consider.â&#x20AC;?

Syracuse School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Director for Career and Technical Education Robert A. Leslie said McCormick-Boyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip to Henninger High and Public Leadership Academy was the first for Navy Medicine during his tenure and gave students exposure to another career pathway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was great, especially knowing that our program here applies directly to the skills the students would need to join Navy Medicine,â&#x20AC;? Leslie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was also great for them to learn about another opportunity that is out there.â&#x20AC;?

Caregivers discuss struggles, provide support in monthly forum

By Andrew Damstedt Naval Support Activity Bethesda Public Affairs BETHESDA, MD.

Once a month caregivers meet in a conference room in building 62 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, for a support group, which is facilitated by military and family life counselors so caregivers can speak about what’s troubling them and hopefully find solutions to problems they face.

“It’s a forum space to allow them to meet other caregivers,” Department of Defense Personalized Experiences Engagement Resources (PEER) support coordinator for the National Capital Region Taneesha Kinchen said. “They share their stories. They exchange information. Some caregivers have been doing it a lot longer than other caregivers so they view each other as mentors.”

Resources on the necessary information that a caregiver might need are also brought to the support group, such as a military caregiver directory. That directory includes contact information for resources to many programs at the national, state and local levels to assist in the recovery, rehabilitation and community integration of a wounded warrior. The directory also includes a lot of self-help resources because it’s important for a caregiver to take care of themselves, Kinchen believes.

A RAND Corp. study estimated that of the 5.5 million people who care for a current of former military service member, nearly 20 percent are caring for someone who’s been injured since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The study found that a post-9/11 caregiver is younger, usually between the ages of

Giordano is currently serving as the senior enlisted leader for U.S. Naval Forces Europe and U.S. Naval Forces Africa in Naples, Italy.

“Fleet Giordano is a great leader and someone who is fully capable to lead our Navy well into the future,” Stevens said. “I am very excited for him and his family and there is no doubt in my mind that he will do a magnificent job.”

A native of Baltimore, Giordano enlisted in the Navy in June 1989.

Following completion of basic training at Recruit Training Command Orlando, Florida, he reported to Naval Technical Training Center Pensacola, Florida, completing cryptologic technician training. Upon graduation, he reported to Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron 1 Agana, Guam, serving as a signals analyst and reporter and completed an operational deployment to Naval Security Group Detachment Bahrain in support of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

U.S. Navy photo Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John M. Richardson announced, June 9, that Fleet Master Chief Steven S. Giordano will take charge from Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Michael D. Stevens, Sept. 2, during a change of office ceremony at the Washington Navy Yard.

Giordano completed numerous operational deployments aboard surface ships and submarines in the Pacific and European areas of responsi-

bility. His previous command master chief tours include time aboard the guided-missile frigate USS McClusky (FFG 41) and at Navy Information Operations Command Colorado. He has also served as the force master chief for Navy Information Dominance Forces.

Giordano holds a Bachelor of Science in management, is a graduate of the Senior Enlisted Academy, Newport, Rhode Island, and a Keystone graduate from the National Defense University, Fort McNair, District of Columbia.

His personal decorations include the Legion of Merit, Meritorious Service Medal, Joint Service Commendation Medal, Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal (five awards), Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal (seven awards) and various unit and campaign awards. He is designated in information dominance warfare, submarines and surface warfare.

NAVSUP GLS develops new department to service the warfighter Army Staff Sgt. Julio A. Larreat Naval Support Activity Bethesda Commanding Officer Capt. Marvin L. Jones cuts a cake during an event honoring caregivers of wounded, ill and injured service members, May 31.

18 to 30, and many don’t have a military background.

“Their service member decides to serve their country, gets injured and their lives are turned upside down,” Kinchen said. “That’s a drastic change when you go from being a happy family and now all of a sudden you have to become a caregiver. In some situations, helping to bathe, give medications, [and] help out with appointments.”

Michelle Eidschun has been going to the caregiver meetings since her husband, Army Sgt. Maj. Thomas Eidschun, began receiving care at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Not knowing exactly what is medically wrong with her husband and not being able to leave him alone, has been the most trying part for her as a military caregiver.

“Everything has pivoted around on how he feels, and the doctor’s appointments and trying to figure what’s going on so we can go back to a normal life,” Eidschun said.

As a senior enlisted spouse, Eidschun thought she knew a lot about the military, but said nothing prepares a person to navigate the complex military medical system.

“You get here and they say, ‘Tell us what you need,’ and you don’t know because you’ve never been in this situation,” Eidschun said. “So just the asking of ‘What do you need,’ – you try to remember that they’re doing it out of love – but even that creates a significant amount of stress because you just don’t know what, and there’s so many options.”

It isn’t always easy to talk about the struggles that caregivers are facing. Eidschun believes being able to

discuss them with other caregivers has helped her cope with the stress of having to take care of her husband 24/7.

“I can’t tell you how big of an advocate I am for allowing people who are in a situation, who have gone through a situation, allowing them to help,” Eidschun said. “If you don’t find a purpose, the situation will take over and you will drown. If you can find a purpose then you can [say to yourself] ‘there is a reason why I’m struggling, there’s a reason why I’m going through this because I’m helping this person up.’”

Eidschun said she would like more support for caregivers and more top leadership championing support for military caregivers.

The military caregiver support group is held every fourth Wednesday in building 62 at the Soldier and Family Assistance Center conference room 2047 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. The next meeting is June 22.

By Suzanna Brugler Naval Supply Systems Command Global Logistics Support Public Affairs SAN DIEGO, CALIF.

Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Global Logistics Support (GLS) recently created a new functional department to specifically service and address naval warfighter readiness issues.

The new department, designated Code 42 – Warfighter and Family Readiness, streamlines the NAVSUP GLS construct by grouping four of the primary “caregiver” functions into one holistic department. The four functions include Navy Household Goods, Navy Postal Services, Navy Food Services and travel for all 5,400 members of the NAVSUP GLS enterprise.

“The creation of Code 42 – Warfighter and Family Readiness, will help the NAVSUP GLS team more efficiently and effectively administer the all important caregiver services to our warfighters down-range, creating fiscal and administrative efficiencies,” Commander of NAVSUP GLS Rear Adm. James McNeal said.

The new department will be led by Department Head Paul Brown, who formerly headed NAVSUP GLS’s Project Handclasp program for both the operational Navy and NAVSUP GLS. Project Handclasp was transferred to the NAVSUP GLS Code 43 – Operations Department, as a result of the reorganization.

“Warfighters and families are what we are all about,” McNeal said. “This transformational realignment in how we do business here at NAVSUP GLS demonstrates our sincere commitment to provide the best possible service to promote warfighter readiness.”

The reorganization began with a functional “soft” start date of June 6, while the official “hard” start date will be October 1.

NAVSUP GLS provides global logistics for a global Navy. The organization is made up of approximately 6,300 military and civilian logistics professionals operating from 105 locations worldwide providing an extensive array of integrated global logistics and contracting services to Navy, Marine Corps, joint operational units and allied forces across all warfare enterprises.

THE TEMPTATIONS ARE COMING TO HAMPTON

By Yiorgo Contributing writer

Get ready for the event of the summer. Whisper Concerts and the City of Hampton proudly present the world-renowned musical group The Temptations, who will kick off the 2016 Military Concerts Series at Mill Point Park in downtown Hampton at 6 p.m. on June 18.

Tickets for limited preferred VIP seating are on sale now and can be purchased at all Ticketmaster locations, online at www. whisperconcerts.com and www. ticketmaster.com or via phone at (800) 745-3000, as well as free general admission eTickets, not including a $4 Ticketmaster processing fee.

The Temptations began their musical life in Detroit, Michigan, in the early 1960s thanks to Berry Gordy’s Motown and to Smokey Robinson, when in 1964 he wrote and produced “The Way You Do The Things You Do” for the group. This was the beginning of an amazing ride that continues to this day.

Hit after hit followed: “My Girl,” “It’s Growing,” “Since I Lost My Baby,” “Get Ready,” “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg,” “Beauty Is Only Skin Deep,” “I

Wish It Would Rain.” The list is never ending.

From the original line up, only Otis Williams remains, and 55 years of success later, he is always in the middle and the rock of the group. The other current members of the group are: Larry Braggs, who was the lead singer for Tower of Power band; Ron Tyson, with an incomparable falsetto voice; Terry Weeks, with his booming voice and Willie Greene Jr., with his amazing bass voice.

Williams is very proud of the fact that “The Temptations have always been known for great lead singers. Today we have three of the greatest leads in the proud history of the group. Our challenge is to live in the present while respecting the past.”

Ron Tyson, perhaps the best high tenor in the business was quick to add, “The more we change, the more we stay true to ourselves. We’re about singing straight-up soul. It’s a style that will live on forever.”

Terry Weeks, grew up in Alabama, spent eight years in the Air Force and is humbled to be a

member of this illustrious group.

His smooth voice full of textures and tones, express a full range of feelings and emotions.

Larry Braggs is a two-time Grammy-nominated artist with a vocal range of over three octaves. He is passionate, powerful and very spiritual. His command of the stage electrifies the audience.

Willie Greene Jr. was born in Birmingham, Alabama, and remembers seeing The Temptations on The Lloyd Thaxton Show. They sang “The Way You Do The Things You Do” and “Get Ready.” “Even though I was just a child, I knew that I was a ‘Temptation Forever!’

Throughout my career I have had the honor, privilege and

pleasure of recording and performing with Lyle Lovett, Ry Cooder, Dolly Parton, John Fogerty, George Harrison [The Beatles]. This opportunity to become a part of the ‘Great Temptation Legacy’ is truly God’s greatest musical gift to me! I would like to thank Mr. Otis Williams for his tenacity in keeping the group together and granting me this opportunity!”

For more than fifty years, The Temptations continue to do the things they do in their own impeccable style and you can see that style, relive their songs and be part of history by coming out this June 18, 6 p.m. at Mill Point Park in downtown Hampton for an experience you will never forget.

Joey Logano, driver of the No. 22 Shell Pennzoil Ford, takes the checkered flag to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway on June 12, 2016 in Brooklyn, Michigan.

LOGANO NABS HIS FIRST CUP VICTORY OF THE SEASON

By Rick Minter Universal Uclick

NASCAR fans likely got a good glimpse of the future on Sunday in the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway. Joey Logano, who is familiar to most fans from his eight years in the sport, but is still relatively young at age 26, dominated from the pole, leading 138 laps to get his first win of the season and the 15th of his career.

To get the victory, Logano had to outrun two drivers even younger than him – Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson – who, for the second time in recent weeks, found themselves chasing a veteran and trying to fig-

ure out what they need to do to win a race in NASCAR’s elite Sprint Cup division. At Dover, Matt Kenseth outran the young duo for the victory.

Elliott, 20, challenged Logano on several late restarts at Michigan, but had to settle for second place, which was a Cup careerbest result for the rookie driver of the No. 24 Chevrolet at Hendrick Motorsports. Larson, 23, finished third – his third finish of second or third this season.

Veterans Brad Keselowski and Kevin Harvick completed the top five.

Logano, who led the circuit in victories last year with six, said he liked seeing a race decided by

three drivers whose average age is 23.

“It’s cool to see the future is here,” Logano said in his winner’s interview. “And it’s fun for me.

Shoot, I’m usually the youngest guy by a long shot, so it’s fun to be racing for the win with some guys that are close to my age.

“It’s amazing you see some of those guys that are coming in, how good they are, and particularly with Chase and Larson. Their wins are obviously right around the corner. You can see that. I’m going to be racing against those two at least for the rest of my life. I know that, and I’m excited about it.”

Logano said his years in the sport give him an advantage when

it comes to racing for a win, even though he struggled for much of the early parts of his Cup career.

“I’ve been doing it for a while, which definitely plays into my hand at this point,” Logano said.

“Going through the struggles and maybe getting thrown into a situation too young and too soon and when I wasn’t prepared for it, going through all that has really changed me as a person and helped me kind of look at every race situation maybe a little bit different than I used to.

“I wouldn’t change that for anything, because now I’m able to use that for my advantage, and I’m still only 26-years-old. I’ve still got plenty of time left.”

For Elliott and Larson, coming close but coming up short can be frustrating. Elliott said he made a mistake on a restart that allowed Logano to take the lead and control the race from that point on.

“I think we had a fantastic opportunity today, and I think I messed one up,” he said.

Larson said he didn’t think he made any mistakes, but acknowledged that his No. 42 Chevrolet lacked a bit.

“I think we had a third- or fourth-place car,” he said, adding that being that close to the front marks a dramatic improvement since the start of the season.

“I wish we could have gotten a win. But we’ll keep fighting.”

Inside the camp: Updates from Alliance MMA

By E. Spencer Kyte UFC

Ask any fight fan to name the top gyms in the sport and the same collection of names will probably come out first.

Tristar. American Top Team. Jackson’s. AKA. One that may not get as much instant love, but deserves billing alongside those familiar talent factories is Alliance MMA, where Eric Del Fierro and a collection of talented coaches have been turning out top tier talent for a decade.

“We fall into those top five gyms in the world, but the difference with us is we’re still a small facility compared to the other teams that are out there – the big name teams – but I think we get just enough mention,” Del Fierro said, who is not only the head coach at the San Diego fight team, but a full-time firefighter and EMT as well. “We’re going to have our ups and downs as a team and when we’re on our highs is when we get the most attention.”

Right now, the team is in the spotlight thanks to a strong run of results over the last two UFC events, as Jeremy Stephens picked up arguably the biggest win of his career late last month, defeating former

bantamweight champ Renan Barao in Las Vegas before Polo Reyes earned Fight of the Night honors and Dominick Cruz retained his bantamweight title at UFC 199 last weekend in Los Angeles.

As one of the longest tenured fighters on the team and certainly its most accomplished member, Cruz sets the tone and example in the gym – not with his words, but with his actions.

“His determination and his will to get back in there and compete is admirable and all the guys and girls feed off of it,” his long-time coach explained. “Everybody is in there having their own battles going into their fight, so seeing what he went through and his determination to not quit makes everyone work harder and stay with their dream.”

Following three different ACL repairs and a torn groin that limited him to one fight in three years, Cruz returned to the Octagon in January and picked up a split decision victory over TJ Dillashaw to reclaim the bantamweight title he was stripped of during his extended injury hiatus.

As an encore last weekend in Los Angeles, Cruz made it clear that he was all the way back by putting his nine-year rivalry with Urijah Faber to

bed, collecting a unanimous decision victory over “The California Kid” in their personal rubber match.

“We never once doubted that he was going to be back.

It was more just following his commitment and saying, ‘If this is our choice where we’re choosing not to retire, we’re 100 percent in.’ Nobody ever sits back and doubts it. We just figured, ‘Okay, we’re coming back and that’s all there is to it.’”

“After we did it, as Nate Diaz said, ‘I wasn’t surprised,’” Del Fierro laughed, leaving out the Stockton native’s choice of pronouns. “I know what he brings to the table and he’s just too tough to quit.”

In addition to being tethered to Cruz in the minds of fight fans, Alliance also stands out as a place where numerous international fighters have chosen to call home for their fight camps over the years, with the likes of Alexander Gustafsson and Ross Pearson setting up shop at the San Diego fight camp and numerous others having passed through at one time or another.

These days, the gym is also garnering a great deal of attention for the collection of high level female talent that calls it home, even if the man at the

Courtesy of UFC Stephens is one of many Alliance MMA members on a roll right now.

top of the coaching hierarchy isn’t sure how his spot suddenly became the place for female standouts to come and train.

“For the past decade, we’ve always had guys from different countries come out and our team is just huge, but we never had females,” Del Fierro explained. “I think Kerry Vera was one of our only females, but then all of a sudden The Ultimate Fighter came on and that brought the 115-pound girls.

“I want to say Bec Rawlings was one of the first ones that came over. She was living at the gym, grinding, and she stuck with it and then I think Jessica [Penne] and Angela Hill [came out] shortly after and then it just kept growing.

“Cat Zingano is here with

us now, but I don’t know [how it started],” he laughed. “They kind of snuck in there and now there is a whole bunch of them here now and they’re all doing great. Everybody is motivated and it’s going well right now.”

And it’s a female fighter that he points to when asked to single out one athlete everyone should be paying attention to from the gym over the next year.

“I think you’re going to see a resurrection of Angela Hill,” Del Fierro said of the Ultimate Fighter Season 20 competitor, who made her Octagon debut with a single professional MMA bout under her belt and was released after backto-back losses to Tecia Torres and Rose Namajunas.

Invicta FC quickly swooped in to sign “Overkill” and the

28-year-old has already gone 3-0 to start 2016, claiming the all-female organization’s strawweight title last time out.

“She needed to get those rounds and she needed to get those experience fights in there. She’s a student of the game and now that she’s comfortable, she knows what she needs to do and she’s learning and has the platform to keep moving forward.

“She wasn’t ready to be in the UFC when she was there and you’re going to see a new Angela Hill in Invicta and whatever comes her way after that. She’s comfortable with our camp, she’s learning, she’s progressing she’s happy.

You’re going to see a different athlete.”

You’ve been told. Act accordingly.
