employers to see the type of work their employees perform when they leave to support the Navy Reserve,” said Chief of Navy Reserve Vice Adm. Robin Braun. “This event puts it all into perspective for these employers, and they come away with a much better understanding of what the Navy does, and the kind of training and experience their employees receive while away serving their country.”

Following a welcome brief with Braun and Rear Adm. Bryan Cutchen, commander, Navy Reserve Forces Command, the tour kicked into high gear with a visit to Naval Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) for an

up-close look at some of the weaponry, vehicles and hardware of NECC units.

Their next stop was a rare glimpse at a demonstration by Navy SEAL Team 18. After emerging from their camouflaged positions, the team performed a hard extraction complete with a SWCC (special warfare combatantcraft crewmen) boat unit firing blanks to simulate the rescue. The SEALs even received assistance from Paul Smith, an employer representing General Electric, who called in the boat unit to perform the extraction.

“This is an amazing experience to meet these guys and see what they do.

It’s incredible to see how they transi-

tion from civilian life, while still being able to put in the time and effort to keep up their training and conditioning,” said Smith. “They are some pretty amazing individuals - true artisans of their craft.”

Chief Special Warfare Boat Operator Alexander Sherlock was especially excited to be able to demonstrate the capabilities of the special warfare community and help show their appreciation to the employers. “I just want to say thanks for the support. It takes a lot of time to keep up our skills. As a civilian I am a paramedic and my em-

VICTORY LANE MOTORS PLACED OFFLIMITS TO ALL NAVY PERSONNEL NORFOLK

The civilian business establishment Victory Lane Motors, located at 6512 E. Virginia Beach Blvd. in Norfolk, has been temporarily placed off-limits to all Navy personnel in the Hampton Roads area. The business was placed off-limits June 20 to all Navy personnel by Rear Adm. Dixon R. Smith, Commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic (CNRMA), following reports of the establishment defrauding its customers. To date, more than 20 service members have been identified as possible victims of these practices. The commander has the authorization to temporarily place civilian establishments off-limits in situations that are considered detrimental to the well-being of Navy personnel.

Service members are encouraged to contact the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) who have interacted with the business in the following ways: ■ Purchased a vehicle from the dealership and never received a title ■ Placed a vehicle on consignment ■ Returned a car after purchasing The best number to contact DMV is 455-0881.

The off-limits order applies to all active duty Navy personnel and Navy Reserve personnel on temporary active duty. This order will be reported to the Joint Armed Force Disciplinary Control Board (JAFDCB) of Southeastern Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina.

The JAFDCB is required to review the matter and determine if the business will be formally placed off-limits to all military personnel.

While the temporary order only applies to Navy personnel, Army Maj. Gen. Ross E. Ridge, Senior Commander Army Element, Joint Base Langley-Fort Eustis and Air Force Col. John J. Allen, 633rd Air Base Wing Commander, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, have also placed the business off-limits to Army and Air Force personnel. Other services are also free to temporarily place the establishment off-limits.

CNRMA intends to keep the establishment off-limits until the JAFDCB can

review the matter.

Currently, eight area businesses are “off-limits” to all members of the armed forces: ■ Hampton Pipe and Tobacco, 86 W. Mercury Blvd., Hampton ■ Hampton Pipe and Tobacco, 15435B Warwick Blvd., Newport News ■ Hampton Pipe and Tobacco, 4796 George Washington Memorial Highway, Hayes, Va. ■ Lazy Dayz, 731 J Clyde Morris Blvd., Ste. B, Newport News ■ Lazy Dayz, 839 W. 21st Street, Norfolk ■ Mellow Smoke Tobacco Shop, 1948 Diamond Springs Road, Virginia Beach ■ Outer Edge Gifts, 760-B J. Clyde Morris Blvd., Newport News ■ Blazin Herbs, 85 W Mercury Blvd., Hampton The JAFDCB board works closely with businesses that are considered being placed off-limits to avoid these actions.

Mitigation efforts demonstrated by area businesses and communication to the board by the businesses often have favorable results.

Establishments are given the opportunity to notify the JAFDCB in writing that corrective actions have taken place.

Removal from the list will be considered by the board upon presentation that satisfactory corrective action has been taken. Failure to respond will result in the board making a request for establishment representatives to appear in person at a formal hearing of the JAFDCB. The safety and security of all service members is a priority for the Department of Defense. The JAFDCB is an investigative committee composed of members from each military service and civilian advisers, who work with local law enforcement agencies and local businesses to identify conditions which may adversely affect the health, safety, welfare, and discipline of the armed forces.

The establishments will remain on the off-limits list until the next scheduled meeting of the JAFDCB, where it will be determined whether they will remain on the list or whether they will be removed.

The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Ross (DDG 71) arrived at Naval Station Rota, Spain to begin her forward deployment to the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations, June 16.

Ross, departed Norfolk June 3, and is the second of four Arleigh Burke-class guidedmissile destroyers to be forward deployed to Rota, joining USS Donald Cook (DDG 75) which has been on station since February.

“On the global and regional stage, we are allies, and we share a common interest in maintaining a Europe that is safe, secure and prosperous. We work closely together with the NATO Alliance, with other partners across the region, and nation to nation

as well,” said Vice Adm. Phil Davidson, commander, U.S. 6th Fleet. “To the crew of USS Ross, I say again, welcome! Welcome to Rota. Welcome to 6th Fleet. Welcome to one of the most dynamic operational environments in the world. You have worked many long hours to get here, and we are going to put your training to the test. You are now present where it matters, and it matters right now.”

The purpose behind Ross’ and the other destroyers’ forward deployment is to enhance the security of the European region. While in U.S. 6th Fleet, these ships will perform numerous missions including NATO missile defense, maritime security operations, bilateral and multilateral training exercises, and NATO operations and deployments.

Upon arrival in Rota, Ross and her crew were greeted by family members, and digni-

“Everyone takes part in history, but very few actually write it. Spain did it in past times. Today, it is the United States of America’s turn, and as this achievement involves a huge responsibility; we want to support you,” said Bolibar-Piñeiro. “Welcome to Rota Naval Station, to your homes, so that you can successfully write this history through our shared defense of the western civilization and of the world peace. I say welcome to your home because Spain, our home, is also the home of our friends and allies. Sixty years living together in Rota have proven this.”

USS Porter (DDG 78) and USS Carney (DDG 64) are scheduled to join Ross and Donald Cook in 2015.

“The USS Ross and her Sailors are excited to serve as part of the U.S. Navy’s Forward Deployed Naval Force in Rota, Spain,” said Ross’ Commanding Officer, Cmdr. Tadd Gorman. “We have been training for years so that we are ready to operate forward and work with our European allies, as well as other U.S. assets and personnel in the region.”

U.S. 6th Fleet, headquartered in Naples, Italy, conducts a full range of maritime security operations and theater security cooperation missions in concert with allied, joint, and interagency partners in order to advance security and stability in Europe and Africa.

ASYMCA hosts fatherdaughter ball for military families

USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT, AT SEA

Sounds of shuffling feet echoed off the bulkhead in the hangar bay. Orange overhead lights glowed in the haze of the warm, humid night air.

The open ocean and a helicopter framed a Sailor bouncing a soccer ball from knee to knee during a soccer skills tournament aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), June 7.

To help Sailors get into the FIFA World Cup spirit, Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) held the event, which tested Sailor’s juggling and ball-handling skills.

“We came up with the idea for the soccer skills competition by talking with other ships,” said Megan Villapudua, TR’s MWR representative. “The idea was perfect with the start of the World Cup happening this week.

“With this event we were able to appeal to a different crowd of Sailors,” said Villapudua. “The Sailors came out and responded to the event and it looked like they had a lot of fun.”

It can take years for soccer players to perfect their skills. “It has taken me a long time to be able to handle a soccer ball like that,” said Airman Hunter Jarrett, from Portland, Oregon. “I started at a young age and just kept working at it.”

Sailors not only came out to showcase their skills, they also came out to unwind with fellow soccer enthusiasts.

“During the skills competition Sailors were cheering each other on,” said Villapudua. “After the skills test was done they just started little pickup games in the hangar bay.”

Cheatham Annex celebrates 71 years of service to fleet, family and fighters

By Mark O. Piggott Naval Weapons Station Yorktown Public Affairs

WILLIAMSBURG

It sits in a corner of York County, just off Route 199, next to the York River in the heart of the “Historic Triangle”—Yorktown, Williamsburg and Jamestown. The land is rich in history, from the first settlers in the New World and the colonist’s fight for independence to the infamous “Seven Days Battle” during the Civil War. It has been known as “Utimaria” and “Penniman” but today it’s called Cheatham Annex, or CAX, a part of Naval Weapons Station (WPNSTA) Yorktown.

Commissioned on June 21, 1943, Cheatham Annex was a U.S. Navy Supply Depot, named after Rear Admiral Joseph Johnston Cheatham, a former Chief of the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts, a forerunner to Naval Supply Systems Command. Today it is a hub of activity from its diverse industrial complex to naval expeditionary training facilities and outdoor recreation sites for military personnel and their dependents.

CAX has grown from very simple beginnings to a vital asset for the U.S. Navy.

The first industrial use of the land came about as a result of World War I. The DuPont Company bought out the area farms and built a munitions plant with more than 10,000 employees. A small

town sprang up around the new facility named Penniman, after Russell S. Penniman, the inventor of ammonia dynamite.

By the start of World War II, military interest in the area quickly developed, not for munitions, but rather for supply. The site was selected largely due to its partially developed harbor, which could easily expand to accommodate large vessels.

With major rail facilities and highway access, CAX was utilized as an assembly and shipping point for materials being shipped overseas during World War II. At CAX, there is something more for the military family available year-round.

CAX is home to the largest Morale, Welfare and Recre-

ation (MWR) Outdoor Recreation facility on the East Coast. Active duty, reservists and military retirees and their dependents can take advantage of a wide range of facilities, including 54 cabins, 50 RV parking spots, 20 primitive campsites and more than 10 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. Along with fishing on two lakes and the York River, swimming pool and an 18-hole golf course, the MWR Outdoor Recreation is ideal for military families looking for a chance to relax.

Cheatham Annex may be a sleepy little base in a small corner of the Virginia Peninsula, but it has supported our Navy through countless conflicts in defense of our nation for more than 71 years.

BALTOPS 2014 COMES TO A CLOSE IN GERMANY

By MC1 Adam C. Stapleton U.S. 6th Fleet Public Affairs

KIEL, GERMANY

Forces participating in Baltic Operations (BALTOPS) 2014, including the U.S. 6th Fleet command and control ship, USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20), arrived in Kiel, Germany, June 20 after the successful completion of BALTOPS 2014.

“Coming together for BALTOPS was like climbing a mountain, we have come to the top and planted the BALTOPS flag,” said Brig. Gen. Ola Truedsson, BALTOPS deputy commander, speaking to the task force staff just prior to pulling into port.

BALTOPS is an annual, multinational exercise to enhance maritime capabilities, interoperability and support regional stability. This year’s BALTOPS, the 42nd since 1971’s inaugural exercise, saw the participation of naval forces from 14 countries including Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Norway,

Poland, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States and NATO. “What I can remember of previous exercises is that it was never as big and as impressive as it is now,” said Royal Netherlands Navy Lt. Cmdr. William Vandergeest, current operations planner for BALTOPS 2014.

Vandergeest would know, as this is marked the fourth time he has participated in the

exercise. “Working in an exercise with so many ships from different nations - I wrote to my wife the other day and told her, ‘you know this is probably my professional highlight’,” said Vandergeest.

Planning the largest naval exercise in the Baltic region began in September of last year, leading up to the official kick off in Karlskrona, Sweden; where, following a face-to-face pre mission

brief, participating navies set sail for nearly two weeks of interoperability training.

Serialized exercise evolutions culminated with the final tactical exercise during which the group divided into opposing forces to test collaborative responses in key areas such as command and control, tactical maneuvering, and rules of engagement.

“It was a busy two weeks.

We conducted practice board-

ings of cooperative merchant shipping with teams from 4 nations. We exercised cooperative air defense against, and with, land based tactical aircraft from the air forces of 3 nations. We came together in coordinated anti-submarine warfare with U.S. and partner ships, submarines, helicopters and maritime patrol aircraft. We conducted a mine detonation demonstration to drive home the importance

of mine warfare. Finally, we executed two days of tactical integration in a fictional scenario,” said Commander of BALTOPS 2014 Rear Adm. Rick Snyder.

Vice Adm. Phil Davidson, 6th fleet commander, called BALTOPS 2014 a complete success and stressed the importance of the annual exercise.

“This year’s exercise was dynamic and challenging, including a full spectrum of operations - and it was designed to ensure that, as allies and partners, we are prepared to respond where it matters, when it matters. And it matters here in the Baltic,” said Davidson.

Although the at sea portion of the exercise concluded with the force’s arrival in Kiel, exercise participants will convene for a post-sail conference upon arrival. This final event provides an opportunity for planners and participants to collect feedback that will ensure continued success of the largest, multinational naval exercise in the Baltic region.

NAVSTA Norfolk holds T.G.I. Fitness Challenge

By MC3 Justin R. DiNiro Navy Public Affairs Support Element East

NORFOLK

Sailors from ten different commands aboard Naval Station Norfolk tested their competitiveness during the T.G.I. Fitness Challenge, June 20.

The bas, in coordination with Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR), hosted the fourth annual T.G.I. Fitness Challenge for Sailors to build camaraderie between shipmates and raise overall fitness awareness.

“The events started as a friendly fitness competition,” said Duffy Duram, MWR athletic director. “We’ve been hosting the competition annually and it has been a great opportunity for everyone to come out and have some fun.”

Each team competed in events such as relay races, agility courses, obstacle courses and a sand bag relay.

“It’s a great time, coming out here and winning the first place trophy for the second year in a row,” said Senior

Chief Master-at-Arms Marcus Blackwell, attached to USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). “Events like this build great camaraderie and challenge Sailors to embrace their physical fitness through various events.”

The object of the competition is to engage Sailors in different forms of physical activity.

The base emphasizes exploring other activities to promote a healthy lifestyle.

“We did really good at this event and every member of our team put forth a huge effort,” said Aviation Machinist’s Mate 1st Class Anthony Pangelinan from Fleet Readiness Center Mid-Atlantic Norfolk (FRCMA). “It was huge taking the win in tug of war, but everyone had fun and that is what’s important.”

USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) topped the leaderboard throughout the event taking 1st place in the Fitness Challenge, Helicopter Mine Countermeasures Squadron 15 (HM 15) finished in second place and FRCMANorfolk earned the third place spot.

NMCP

Sailors from air department aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) participate in a test of the aqueous ďŹ lm forming foam ight deck ďŹ reďŹ ghting system.

| HELP hopes to reduce

unnecessary medical evacuations at sea Continued from front These providers can be independent duty corpsmen on small ships, medical ofďŹ cers on carriers or doctors at military hospitals and clinics who don’t have local access to speciďŹ c specialties. “The system allows input for medical history and physical symptoms of the patient, the medications they are on and the consult questions,â€? said Cmdr. Andrew Lin, one of HELP’s consult managers. “Providers can also upload media ďŹ les, like pictures, X-rays or sound ďŹ les. Once the consult is added to the system, it comes to a consult manager at NMCP who decides which specialty to forward it to for an answer. And then the specialist suggests a course of treatment based on the case presented.â€?

The goal of the consult system is to reduce unnecessary medical evacuations from ships at sea and overseas, as well as to reduce patient referral to the civilian health care network.

According to HELP policy, specialists at NMCP will answer a consult within 72 hours of its submission, but response time is expected to be quicker - around 14 hours - based on response times by a similar system on the west coast. HELP uses the same technology as PATH, or Pacific Asynchronous TeleHealth system, which was developed

by Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii. “I think it will be particularly important for Navy Medicine East,� said Lt. Col. C. Becket Mahnke, PATH director. “If there’s somebody at Jacksonville who needs to see a specialist not available there, the primary care doctor

NERE

has the ability to say, ‘Do I need to send them to the network provider? Instead, I can use the specialists at NMCP.’ We’ve found that in two-thirds of cases in PATH, we were able to answer the question without that face-to-face visit with a specialist.�

PATH processes more than 3,000 cases a year from 20 hospitals and clinics throughout the PaciďŹ c region involving 40 different medical and surgical specialties, saving up to $750,000 annually in medevac costs. In a review of 1,000 pediatric teleconsultations through PATH, referral to a local specialist was decreased by up to 43 percent with a cost savings of at least $200,000.

HELP is expected to give military treatment facilities on this side of the globe similar savings and reduction in network referrals. “We’ve reduced redundant testing, including laboratory and radiological tests,�

Mahnke said. “By coordinating ahead of time for patients we do have to medevac, we’ve decreased time away from their duty stations because their registration and appointments have been prearranged.�

Prior to HELP going live, Lin spent the ďŹ rst half of June informing staff, residents and interns at NMCP about the system and its beneďŹ ts. Residents and interns who are preparing to graduate can begin assignments around the eet knowing that expert consultation is only a few mouse clicks away. “I’m hoping it will streamline consults, give people in the eet better access to our services, prevent unnecessary medical evacuations and unnecessary triage phone calls

and consults,� said Cmdr. Michelle Morrison, Otolaryngology Department head. “For example, we’ve been referred patients with trauma who don’t need surgical intervention and which would heal on its own in a few weeks, so they don’t need to see us acutely. I would say every day somebody in the department sees someone unnecessarily.�

Lin is also setting up accounts for NMCP staff who would be responding to consults and training them how to use the system. NMCP’s ďŹ rst consults were for dermatology. “The system is pretty easy to use, pretty intuitive,â€? said staff dermatologist Lt. Cmdr.

Brooke CauďŹ eld. “Having done two consults today, the time spent in front of the computer is brief and direct. Each individual case is pretty easy and the questions were appropriate and easy to answer.

When we are the duty provider, we typically get ďŹ ve consults by phone. Certainly, for the places that don’t have dermatology nearby, this would be a lot easier.â€?

HELP offers additional beneďŹ ts: completed consults can be added to the patient’s medical record, NMCP can track specialty workload to ensure staff is available for all patient care, and NMCP can analyze the nature of the consults to identify opportunities to provide additional training to the providers who submit consults.

Lin expects that consults will trickle in at ďŹ rst, but within the next few months or year, as word spreads, the telemedicine system will really help patients get improved access to quality specialty care.

TR Sailors are ready to show off their skills during INSURV

By MC3 Heath Zeigler USS Theodore Roosevelt Public Affairs

NORFOLK

The aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) kicked off the three-day Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) with more than 130 inspectors, both military and civilian, coming aboard June 23.

The inspection will cover the ship’s thousands of spaces. Inspectors will scour more than 200 miles of piping, 1,600 miles of cable and 30,000 light ďŹ xtures.

The inspection will test various systems and verify safety gear inventories. “INSURV, as tough and as thorough as it is, ultimately looks at how well we are performing,â€? said Lt. Cmdr. Angela Leer, INSURV coordinator aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt. “It also gives us a guide for what to look for and helps identify trends among the other ships in the eet.â€?

An important part of INSURV requires Sailors to check all of the lifesaving equipment aboard the ship. The inspectors ensure Sailors properly account for every oat coat, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and emergency escape breathing device (EEBD) to conďŹ rm they meet required standards. “Inspectors are checking everything from padeyes to the propulsion plants,â€? said Leer. “They are here to ensure that our material condition meets the Navywide standard.â€?

| Civilian employers honored

Continued from front ployer has to move around a lot of people in order to allow me to come out here and keep my skills up at a high level,� said Sherlock. “Outstanding employer support goes beyond allowing Sailors time to train,� said Braun. “Employer support can mean any number of things. These employers have shoveled snow, mowed lawns, invited family members to company outings and even provided presents at Christmas, all in support of mobilized service members and their families.�

Following lunch, the honorees had the opportunity to witness life aboard a Navy ship during a tour of am-

phibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7), and experience the tight quarters of a fast attack submarine aboard USS Scranton (SSN 756) at Naval Station Norfolk.

Although impressed with the various air and sea platforms and hardware Reserve Sailors use in their Navy jobs, Tammy Heiser of the United Service Organization in Arlington, Va., was more excited to meet and interact with the Sailors who man them. “It’s great for us to be able to come out and see what our Sailors actually do. You can tell they enjoy talking about it as much as we enjoy listening and learning,� said Heiser. “They really light up and you can see the pride in what they do.�

Theodore Roosevelt will show off her skills to the inspectors with a variety of demonstrations to validate the ship meets operational standards. Full power demonstrations, main drainage and detect-to-engage (DTE) are the three main objectives TR’s crew must successfully complete to pass INSURV. TR completed anchor drops and Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) testing during previous underways. “The DTE tests all of our radars to ensure that contacts can be seen. Full power demonstrations ensure that we cannot only speed up and slow down quickly but can maintain high speeds if needed,â€? said Leer. “Each of the main demos goes toward the overall INSURV score but have their own individual score they must meet.â€?

Sailors need to be ready to assist any inspector. Even those not directly involved in the inspections should treat the inspectors with the same courtesy as they would any other guest. “This is a uniďŹ ed effort throughout the ship,â€? said Chief Hospital Corpsman Michael Mann, assistant INSURV coordinator aboard USS Theodore Roosvelt. “We want everyone actively engaged. When we are pier side, don’t immediately go to the hangar bay and jump on your cellphone. We still have a lot of INSURV demos to get through. So let’s not lose the momentum.â€?

Š

The event wrapped up with a trip to Chambers Field at Naval Air Station Norfolk where employers had the opportunity to see F/A-18, F-5, E-2, HH-60, and C-40 aircraft and meet with aviators from regional squadrons before ending their day at a reception at the historic Pennsylvania House. “Employers are a key facet of every Reserve Sailor’s life. The service each Sailor provides to the Fleet is achieved in no small part due to their employer’s support,� said Braun. “By allowing their employees to serve, they enable the Navy Reserve to contribute to our nation’s mission overseas and at home. Their support can never be taken for granted.�

Students graduate, reflect on Naval War College experience

MCC James E. Foehl A procession of U.S. Naval War College (NWC) faculty makes their way to Dewey Field at NWC in Newport, Rhode Island, in preparation of a graduation ceremony.

neering commands ran into danger to aid and protect others, the Navy secretary said. He also cited the colleagues, friends and strangers who saved others from peril and comforted one another.

One-thousand five-hundred eighteen students graduated from U.S. Naval War College (NWC), and were recognized for their achievements by Adm. John M. Richardson, director, Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, and Rear Adm. Walter E. “Ted” Carter Jr., president, NWC, during a graduation ceremony, June 20.

“Individually, you will go on to enhance any team that you join. Together, I see the class of 2014 as a tremendous strategic addition to the arsenal of our Navy and our Nation,” said Richardson during his remarks as guest speaker for the event.

The graduating class encompassed a broad and diverse group of joint military, government civilian, and international military officers who completed the NWC curriculum through the 10-month resident or distancelearning education programs.

Making up the resident graduates were: 279 Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Army, Coast Guard and civilian government employees who attended either the College of Naval Warfare or College of Naval Command and Staff, and 94 international naval officers representing 56 countries who attended either the Naval Command College or Naval Staff College (NSC).

“This entire experience has been extremely rewarding and fulfilling,” said Lt. Cmdr. Lara Bollinger, who was one of four American students and only female officer selected to participate in NWC’s NSC international program.

“It was a huge honor for me to be in that program,” said Bollinger. “It had 47 students representing 39 countries. We traveled together introducing international students to our industry, military and all the great things America has to offer.”

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel discussed the proposed defense budget with a Senate panel June 18.

Hagel: Proposed defense budget tailored to meet future threats

By Nick Simeone American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON

After more than a decade of large, land-based operations driven by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the proposed Defense Department budget for the coming fiscal year focuses on new and emerging threats, including those in cyberspace, with the department proposing significant reductions in the size of the Army and Marines, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told a Senate panel June 18.

“After 13 years of long, large stability operations, we must shift our focus onto future requirements shaped by enduring and emerging threats,” Hagel told the Senate Appropriations Committee’s defense subcommittee, largely recapitulating the main points contained in the proposed Pentagon budget first unveiled in February.

“We must be able to defeat terrorist threats and cyberattacks and deter adversaries with increasingly modern weapons and technological capabilities,” Hagel added.

Even so, Hagel said, the department is taking a $75 billion hit in its budget this year and next, and he warned lawmakers “we cannot keep our current force structure adequately ready and modernized” under the strict budget limits being imposed on the department.

Nurse Advice Line to help TRICARE beneficiaries

By Deborah R. Kallgren Naval Medical Center Portsmouth Public Affairs

PORTSMOUTH

Starting June 27, TRICARE beneficiaries in Hampton Roads will have access to a new tool to help them decide whether they need to seek immediate care.

The Nurse Advice Line will be available 24/7 to all TRICARE beneficiaries by calling 1-800-TRICARE (option 1). Callers will be connected to a team of registered nurses who can answer a variety of urgent health care questions. They can help the patient decide whether self-care is the best option, or if it they should see a health care provider.

First, the beneficiary's eligibility through DEERS will be verified. Then, a registered nurse will ask the beneficiary a series of questions to provide the best advice possible.

If the beneficiary has a question about their child, the beneficiary will be routed to a pediatric nurse. If follow up is needed, the beneficiary will be called back later to check the child's status. The nurse can make same-day appointments for TRICARE beneficiaries enrolled to a military hospital or clinic. If a same-day appointment is not available, the nurse will direct the beneficiary to the closest urgent care center, and advise their primary care manager that a referral is needed so the patient won't have point-of-service

co-pays. TRICARE beneficiaries not enrolled to a military hospital or clinic will receive professional health advice and whether to seek urgent care.

Beneficiaries can still call their PCM or clinic, but the Nurse Advice Line is another option for patients, especially after hours or on the weekend.

The Nurse Advice Line may also reduce the number of unnecessary Emergency Room visits.

More than a quarter of all ER visits are generally for non-emergency issues. National estimates for civilian care indicate that one-half of all ER patients would have seen a primary care doctor had one been available. Unnecessary ER and Urgent Care visits cause longer wait times for patients, additional workload for staff, additional stress on resources, and higher costs to the Military Health System. The Nurse Advice Line will help direct non-emergency and nonurgent visits to routine providers relieving strain on the ER system as well as increasing beneficiary access to their primary care manager or urgent care facilities.

HOW TO STAY ON BUDGET

(Without really trying)

“Stay on a budget without even trying? Yeah, right,” said SpouseBuzz reader Tara Reeder.

Tara isn’t kidding. It’s one thing to have a budget app on your phone reminding you how you really can’t afford to go out to dinner again. It is another thing to actually resist going out to dinner.

How do you stay on budget without lashing yourself to your own front porch?

Spouses who attended Military.com’s Spouse Experience event at Joint Base Lewis McChord and our USAA money gurus gave us their top 10 tips on what they do stay on budget. What would you add to their list?

3. Divide and conquer.

There is an old rule that says it is better to tell your dollars where they are going than to ask them where they went. Dividing money into little pots helped our readers stay honest with themselves.

Scott Halliwell, a Certified Financial Planner with USAA, told one Spouse X crowd that he keeps seven (7!!) different savings accounts.

These accounts are for things like Christmas, his kids sports expenses, vacation, and charitable giving.

“For us, separating the money into different accounts does two things: It keeps us from using it on something else and it gives us piece of mind to know that the money will be there when we need it,” said Scott.

1. Marry someone who doesn’t like to spend money.

JJ Montanaro, Certified Financial Planner with USAA, said that in his career he has noticed that there are two kinds of people in the world: savers and spenders. And that they marry each other.

That can be a problem. Or a fantastic advangate.

Sara Hoff said the best money decision she ever made was to marry her husband (who hates spending money.)

4. Temptress, know thyself.

Our spouses said that if you really want to stay on budget, you don’t go hang out in the places where you can’t help but buy. If you really want to stay on budget, you don’t go shopping when you are feeling low.

So don’t fool yourself. Everyone knows where their own temptation lies. Many of our readers said that Target was kinda irresistible. Shop with a list and stick to it or don’t let yourself go in the store.

2. Trick yourself early and often.

The part of the brain that controls spending must be so basic that it works on autopilot—like breathing. Me see sushi. Me want sushi. Me give credit card to pay $60 for sushi. Me no understand why no money to cover sushi bill?

The Budget Queens among our SpouseXers figure that part of the brain is D-U-M-B. So they set out to trick it early and often.

They used all-cash systems in which you put cash into envelopes for each different category and then stop spending when the cash is gone. Or they used a cash card system with an automatic spending limit. Or an app on their phone for autotracking that calls your mother if you overspend (surely they were making that one up?)

“Set an allotment to go straight to savings,” advised Kelly K. You can’t spend it if you can’t see it.”

5. Do Dave Ramsey.

While this hardly qualifies as staying-on-budget-without-even-trying, I must admit that over and over our participants swore by Dave Ramsey’s debt reduction method by name.

They like his no-holds-barred approach and that the participation of both partners is required.

Rachael Mayo is a big Ramsey fan. “Budget every month with your spouse whether you are in debt or not,” said Rachel.

By Jacey Eckhart Military Spouse Contributor

6. Understand the difference between wants and needs.

Senior spouses were more likely to bring up the idea of wants and needs, possibly from prior experience.

“If you and your service member can really look at something and see the difference between a need (milk for the kids) and a want (ice cream

for dessert), then you can make it,” said one fortysomething spouse.

Understanding the difference between wants and needs is a huge concept. So is the idea of “enough.”

7. Eat at home during the week.

No matter what activities you have going on, make a rule that you always eat at home during the week. That’s a good tip. It makes the eat-out decision much less subject to whether or not you feel like cooking. Is it Wednesday? Then we are eating at home, people!

Our readers said that having a plan for these weeknight meals helps a lot. Katherine Adler swears by her crock pot. Jessica Strandberg leans on leftovers. Katie G says that a menu plan helps her family order fewer pizzas.

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

Functions and/or services FFSC provides: ■

Clinical Counseling(Individual, Couples, and Child Counseling ) ■ Personal Financial Management ■ Information & Referral ■ Family Employment Assistance ■ Transition Assistance ■ Family Advocacy Program ■ Deployment and Mobilization Support ■ Ombudsman Support ■ Relocation Assistance ■ Parenting Programs ■ Stress and Anger Management ■ Command Support ■ Crisis Support ■ Suicide Prevention ■ Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Support

8. Cultivate your inner Scrooge.

Ol’Scrooge gets a bad rap. Sure, he was a penny pinching old miser. But he liked it! He loved it! He thought up new ways to save all the time!!

Cultivate a little Scroogey joy in yourself by listing all the ways to save money. Going out to lunch instead of dinner. Don’t order $2 sodas at a restaurant, just order water. Cut your own grass.

Learn to cut your soldiers hair. Grow plants from seeds. Research military discounts. Buy meat in larger packages that you can separate and freeze.

Grow vegetables and herbs. Recycle school supplies. Whatever you do, love it like Ebeneezer and staying on budget will seem a lot easier.

9. Use your sweaters.

Scrooge himself kept Bob Cratchit on his toes by keeping heat consumption to a minimum. Heating and cooling costs really do add up.

Andrew F. said that it wasn’t a big deal to learn how your thermostat system works and have it automatically turn the heat down at night during the winter and turn the air conditioning up during the summer. Easier than clipping coupons. This is why we love male spouses.

10. Base activities are cheap.

“Take advantage of base activities,” said Tevera.

Lots of things are no cost or extra low cost.”

Like our Military.com Spouse Experience shows!! Our shows are free to the base (you just have to invite us) and free to our participants (you just have to sign up).

Navy fitness releases new workout apps

NEXCOM gives $51.9 million to MWR

Commander, Navy Installations Command Public Affairs

NEXCOM Public Affairs

WASHINGTON

Commander, Navy Installations Command’s Navy Operational Fitness and Fueling System (NOFFS) program is launched three new workout series apps for your smart phone or tablet, June 20. These high-intensity programs - the Strength, Endurance, and Sandbag series - provide Sailors with a “best-in-class” physical fitness and nutrition program.

NOFFS was developed by the Navy in partnership with EXOS (formerly Athlete’s Performance Institute). The Operational Series provides the foundational exercises that are designed to replicate the activities Sailors conduct in their operational duties: lifting, pushing, pulling, and carrying.

Each additional series (Strength, Endurance, and Sandbag) was developed to provide training modes that address the special interests of users.

“The Strength Series will assist Sailors with developing the strength that is needed to perform at their highest level,” said Nick Aures, Performance Enhancement Dietitian, Commander, Navy Installations Command. “There are three training phases within the series that are intended to progressively build total work capacity and improve cardiovascular fitness.”

The first phase, Build Muscle, is focused on building lean muscle mass and improving the body’s capacity to handle greater physical demands through a higher volume of work.

The second phase, Get Strong, focuses on building strength through fewer repetitions and higher intensity. The final phase, Get Powerful, harnesses the user’s newfound strength and trains their muscles to be fast and forceful.

“The workouts in The Endurance Series are designed to assist with breaking through training plateaus, while decreasing injuries often associated with traditional endurance training,” added Aures. “The workouts can be accomplished in a number of ways, including running, biking, rowing, or using any cardiovascular machine.”

Beyond the cardiovascular training in this series, additional training components that are vital to sustained success with endurance activities have been incorporated. These include pillar prep, strength maintenance, soft tissue release, and plyometrics.

Although these components can be completed in separate workouts, together they will provide the tools necessary to maximize results. The six phases of cardiovascular training progressively develop both the aerobic and anaerobic energy systems, effectively enhancing your ability to cover a greater distance at a faster pace.

The ability to customize these workouts based on heart rate and/or rate of perceived exertion (RPE) will make the workouts challenging and effective throughout the phases.

EVERYONE

“The Sandbag Series provides Sailors with a training plan that can be performed in environments with limited equipment options. It will help them develop the strength and power they need to meet the performance demands placed upon them in any environment,” said Aures.

“The added challenge of performing traditional exercises with a less stable mass (a sand-filled bag) provides a unique training experience that mimics the demands experienced in day-to-day life.”

The Sandbag Series also progresses through three phases of training by building upon the work completed in the previous phase and preparing for what’s to come.

The first phase, Build Your Base, establishes a strong base fitness level. The second phase, Gain Muscle, develops lean muscle mass and increases workout capacity through the use of a higher number of sets and repetitions.

In the third phase, Get Powerful, movements will become more explosive, therefore developing the power necessary for immediate bursts of energy often required in operational environments.

“Two additional elements that are available in each series include the fueling aspect and the regeneration component,” explained Aures.

The fueling aspect of NOFFS will allow Sailors to determine their total caloric needs to achieve personal goals, while the meal builder enables them to select high-octane foods for each meal, populate their meal plan a week at a time, and email it to themselves.

The regeneration component will assist Sailors with addressing common aches and pains. The soft tissue release techniques combined with the flexibility routine will help restore muscular balance, and ensure that Sailors develop and maintain the mobility necessary for high-level performance.

Interactive apps for each series are available at no cost for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, or iPod), with Android devices being released shortly. The apps provide detailed guidance and examples of each exercise, along with scrolling pictures and videos that can be viewed with a quick swipe. Search for “NOFFS” in the App Store or on the Google Play Store app.

The Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) released its fiscal year 2013 audited financial report which showed a $51.9 million contribution to Navy Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR).

“In addition to providing our customers with quality goods and services at a savings, NEXCOM’s mission is also to support Navy quality of life programs by contributing 70 percent of our profits each year,” said Rear Adm. Robert J. Bianchi, (Ret), Chief Executive Officer, NEXCOM. “This year, we gave Navy MWR $51.9 million from our 2013 sales. So, in addition to saving our customers money when they shop at the NEX, the money they spend also ultimately supports their own quality of life.”

Navy MWR uses the dividends from the NEX in a variety of ways. Installations receive part of the funds for specific installation level MWR efforts. The remaining funds are used for MWR capital projects to improve facilities.

“Navy MWR provides worldclass programs for Sailors as well as all other service members and their family members, whether stationed ashore or deployed. We are able to construct and repair many of our golf, bowling, youth, and food & beverage facilities because of the significant contribution provided by the annual NEX dividend. These Sailor-generated dollars allow us to build and operate outstanding recreation facilities throughout the Navy and thereby enhance the common thread of ‘Service to the Fleet’ from MWR in partnership with NEX,” said Edward J. Cannon, Director, Commander, Navy Installations Command, Fleet and Family Readiness.

Navy Surgeon General helps recommission preventive medicine unit in Rota, Spain Navy Environmental Preventive Medicine Unit Seven Public Affairs

You are looking at Navy medicine’s latest asset, a forward based preventive medicine unit, the first Navy medicine unit to be stood up in recent memory” -Capt. Juliann Althoff, NEPMU 7 officer-in-charge

ROTA, SPAIN

Vice Adm. Matthew Nathan, Surgeon General of the Navy and Chief, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED), joined Navy Environmental and Preventive Medicine Unit (NEPMU) 7 in Rota, Spain for a recommissioning and ribbon-cutting ceremony, June 20.

Capt. Juliann Althoff, NEPMU 7 officer in charge, welcomed personnel and guests, including several distinguished visitors, to the ceremony and thanked the BUMED, Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center, U.S. Navy Forces Europe and Africa (NAVEUR), and Naval Station Rota for their work in helping the unit re-establish following an eight-year hiatus.

During her remarks, Althoff emphasized NEPMU 7’s mission to support the fleet and deployed forces with its public health initiatives and requirements.

“You are looking at Navy medicine’s latest asset, a forward based preventive medicine unit, the first Navy medicine unit to be stood up in recent memory,” said Althoff. “This ceremony represents the return of NEPMU 7, a unit first commissioned almost 60 years ago. It pays tribute to the unit’s rich history while looking forward to the promise of its bright future here in Rota.”

Previously disestablished in September 2006, NEPMU 7 will once again provide a comprehensive range of public health and preventive medicine services to customers within the Africa and Europe areas of responsibility.

“We are designed to be responsive while maintaining a small footprint, able to quickly deploy small capability-based teams throughout the theater in support of deployed forces,” said Althoff.

“What this unit represents are thousands and thousands of people they’ll never see. Why won’t you see them? Because you won’t have to, because they won’t be ill. You won’t have to because they’ll be out performing the mission. And they won’t need

to be brought in and tended to,” said Nathan. “Until you’ve suffered something from the environment around you, you can’t appreciate what these people do. They’re agile, they’re expert and they’re going to be out there and they’re going to keep us in our job.”

At the ceremony, Nathan was piped on with seven sideboys and one military working dog.

“This was the first time with a dog, and I liked it,” he said.

First established as Navy Preventive Medicine 7 in 1956 and commissioned May 2, 1957, the command received its current designation of NEPMU 7 in 1971. The unit provided public health services to 6th Fleet and the European Theater and was originally homeported at Naval Support Activity Naples and relocated to Naval Air Station Sigonella in 1995.

The decision to re-establish NEPMU 7 included a change of venue from its former location in Sigonella, Italy to its new home in Rota, Spain.

Navy medicine’s facilities team from the BUMED detachment in Jacksonville, Florida worked closely with the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center (NMCPHC), NAVEUR and NAVSTA Rota in the selection, design and renovation of the facility for NEMPU 7, according to Mike Plante, BUMED director for Installations and Logistics.

“The project was ably managed by Lt. Shaun Bott, the BUMED Health Facility Planning and Project Officer (HFPPO), from design through the facility renovation phase,” said Plante.

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA

U.S. Navy surgeons are performing multiple surgeries alongside Cambodian physicians at the Preah Ket Mealea Hospital in Phnom Penh as part of Pacific Partnership 2014.

“We are having a subject matter exchange interaction,” said Lt. Cmdr. Ian Fowler. “We are showing them how we do things. It is interesting to learn from them as well. It is very similar to our procedures.”

The Cambodia phase of Pacific Partnership began June 19.

Three surgeons specializing in general surgery, orthopedics and obstetrician gynecology will be at the Preah Ket Mealea Hospital for four days. They are performing surgeries such as hernia repairs, uterine prolapse procedures, hemorrhoid removal and lipoma removal.

“We have had a great exchange of information with the Cambodian doctors,” said Fowler.

“They are very well trained and they want to learn what we are teaching them and I love to ask them questions.”

The purpose of this mission is to increase interoperability between the U.S. and Cambodian military physicians as well as gather an assessment of where their skill levels are for possible future interactions.

“The interaction has been very good,” said Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Wilson, a general surgeon.

“The language barrier has not been that difficult to overcome. Surgery is a universal language. Everyone knew the next step in the operation so it went very smoothly.”

Pacific Partnership is in its ninth iteration and is the largest annual multilateral humanitarian assistance and disaster relief preparedness mission conducted in the Asia-Pacific region.

KEY FIGURE IN BENGHAZI ATTACKS CAPTURED American Forces Press Service safely left Libya, Kirby added. of the United States military WASHINGTON

In cooperation with law enforcement personnel June 15, the U.S. military captured a key ďŹ gure in the September 2012 attacks on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya, Pentagon Press Secretary Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby said.

In a statement, Kirby said Ahmed Abu Khatallah is in U.S. custody in a secure location outside of Libya.

There were no civilian casualties related to this operation, and all U.S. personnel involved in the operation have

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel later released a statement commending everyone involved in the operation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to commend all the service members who were involved in the planning and execution of the operation to capture Ahmed Abu Khatallah,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their tireless efforts may only be known to a few, but are felt by all Americans who are proud of what they do every day to defend this nation. This successful counterterrorism operation is another example of the extraordinary capabilities

and our unrelenting commitment to hold accountable those who harm American citizens.â&#x20AC;?

Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also issued a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This team of professionals acted with extraordinary skill, courage and precision, successfully carrying out a dangerous and complex capture operation resulting in no casualties,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of those who tirelessly defend our nation, our freedoms and our way of life.â&#x20AC;?

NEWPORT, R.I.

PRESIDENT OBAMA PRAISES â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;COURAGE, PROFESSIONALISMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; OF KHATALLAH OPERATION American Forces Press Service to the painstaking efforts of We will continue to honor our WASHINGTON

President Barack Obama praised the courage and professionalism of those involved in the operation that resulted in the capture of Ahmed Abu Khatallah, a key ďŹ gure in the September 2012 attacks on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The United States has an unwavering commitment to bring to justice those responsible for harming Americans.

Since the deadly attacks on our facilities in Benghazi, I have made it a priority to ďŹ nd and bring to justice those responsible for the deaths of four brave Americans,â&#x20AC;? the president said in a statement.

Obama said he recently authorized an operation in Libya to detain Khatallah. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that he is now in U.S. custody is a testament

our military, law enforcement and intelligence personnel,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of their courage and professionalism, this individual will now face the full weight of the American justice system.â&#x20AC;?

Even as the nation welcomes the operationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success, the president said, it also pauses to remember the four Americans who gave their lives in Benghazi representing their country: Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I said shortly after the attack, they exempliďŹ ed the values that we stand for as a nation, including a commitment to freedom and justice,â&#x20AC;?

Obama said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All Americans should be grateful for their service, just as we are grateful to all our personnel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; civilian and military â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who represent our country around the globe.

fallen by carrying on their efforts in support of the Libyan peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aspirations to live in a peaceful, prosperous, and democratic society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With this operation, the United States has once again demonstrated that we will do whatever it takes to see that justice is done when people harm Americans,â&#x20AC;? the president continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will continue our efforts to bring to justice those who were responsible for the Benghazi attacks. We will remain vigilant against all acts of terrorism, and we will continue to prioritize the protection of our service-members and civilians overseas.â&#x20AC;?

The United States also will sustain its support for the Libyan people â&#x20AC;&#x153;as they work to overcome years of tyranny and do the difďŹ cult work of building a democracy,â&#x20AC;? the president said.

The U.S. Naval War College (NWC) kicked off the 65th annual Current Strategy Fourm (CSF) with a keynote address from the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert, June 17, at the NWC in Newport, Rhode Island.

As NWCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capstone academic event, the two-day forum brings together distinguished guests and students to explore issues of strategic national importance.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme, â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Grand Strategy and Sea Power: Challenges and Choices,â&#x20AC;? focuses on challenging assumptions and undertaking a strategic assessment of the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gathered a diverse group of individuals here,â&#x20AC;? said Greenert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone from junior, mid and senior ofďŹ cers to scholars, civilians and retirees owns a piece of this [strategy] and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here right now to roll up our sleeves and get to work.â&#x20AC;?

In his opening remarks, Greenert stressed upon leaders the importance of coming together regularly to ensure that the conversation to develop naval strategy doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end at the completion of the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to come together periodically to keep the conversations and forums going so that we share more thoughts and ideas to develop these strategies,â&#x20AC;? said Greenert.

online A detailed list of scheduled events, times and participants can be viewed at www.usnwc.edu/csf14-agenda.

Readers are invited to watch live at http://navylive.dodlive.mil and join the discussion on Twitter using the hashtag #CSF14.

For the ďŹ rst time in its 65-year history, CSF is being co-sponsored by the CNOs ofďŹ ce for operations, plans and strategy.

The underlying premise is to connect the ďŹ&#x201A;eet with the strategy being discussed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing is looking out to make sure we have the right mechanisms in place to develop future strategists for the Navy,â&#x20AC;? said Rear Adm. Walter E. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tedâ&#x20AC;?

Carter Jr., president, NWC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making sure that we are connected with the ďŹ&#x201A;eet, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that here without having a signiďŹ cant partnership with our OPNAV staff.â&#x20AC;?

To bridge this connection, 25 junior ofďŹ cers from around the ďŹ&#x201A;eet and three midshipmen from the U.S. Naval Academy were invited to participate in the forum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are reinvigorating the way that we develop our strategy and it starts here,â&#x20AC;? said Rear Adm. James G. Foggo III, assistant deputy chief of naval operations for operations, plans and strategy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our intent for this reinvigoration is to push strategic thinking down to the deckplates.â&#x20AC;?

graduates, most of whom graduated from a distance Continued from front Additionally, 1,145 students graduated by completing coursework through NWCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College of Distance Education (CDE), which includes NWC programs at Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif., Fleet Seminar Program, online and CD-ROM programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The level of professionalism that I experienced here at the NWC far exceeds any education that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done in my life,â&#x20AC;? said Army Col. Jerry Wilson, a CDE graduate and division chief for mobilization and readiness at Fort Bragg, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My writing skills have improved, my decision making has improved, my abilities to think much larger, away from a tactical world to more of a strategic world, has been the culminating piece of everything Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done.â&#x20AC;?

Wilson began his NWC education in 2009 as a Fleet Seminar Program (FSP) student attending classes at Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth in Texas, and completed two core courses of study before being deployed for a year to Djibouti in 2011.

Following deployment,

MCC (AW/SW/EXW) James E. Foehl U.S. Naval War College (NWC) students, Cmdr. Christian Boll, Air Force Lt. Col. Kenyon Bell, and Marine Corps Lt. Col William Barnes, stand in formation prior to a graduation ceremony on Dewey Field at NWC in Newport, Rhode Island.

Wilson made a permanent change of station move to Fort Bragg, where he enrolled and was accepted to complete his ďŹ nal core course of study as a FSP student in Norfolk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was driving once a week, from Fort Bragg, N.C., up to Norfolk, Va., on Thursdays to go to class and driving back Friday morning to go back to work,â&#x20AC;? said Wilson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quitting was not an option for me. It was important that I got my degree and it was important that I ďŹ nished what I started.â&#x20AC;?

During the ceremony, students were recognized and received either a NWC diploma or a Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Arts degree in National Security and Strategic Studies.

Carter concluded the ceremony by charging each of the students to grasp future opportunities and engage organizational leaders as part of a highly-sought talent pool. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each of you departs this college more knowledgeable about your honorable profession. More in-tune with both the responsibilities and rewards of self-less service to the nation, and intellectually refreshed in order to address the many challenges of tomorrow,â&#x20AC;? said Carter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I chal-

And unless Congress changes the law to prevent another budget sequester, he added, another $50 billion will come out of the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget every year through 2021.

This, he said, could occur at a time when Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and security are increasingly being challenged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recent crises in Iraq and Ukraine remind us how quickly things can change in the world and they underscore why we must assure the readiness, agility and capability of our military,â&#x20AC;? the secretary told the senators.

Even so, as outlined in the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget request sent to Congress earlier this year, Hagel said the department still proposes drawing down the active duty Army by 13 percent over the next ďŹ ve years to as low 440,000 soldiers, which he said he believes is still adequate to defend the nation and respond to future threats.

The Marine Corps, he said, will continue its planned drawdown to 182,000 members while devoting an additional 900 Marines to stepping up security at U.S. embassies around the world.

The Navy will have 11 carrier strike groups, but 11 cruisers will be set aside for modernization and retroďŹ tting, while

NAVY YARD

the Air Force will see the 50-year-old U-2 surveillance plane replaced by the unmanned Global Hawk aircraft, as well as an end to the aging A-10 attack aircraft.

Compensation for those in uniform is being adjusted, Hagel said, with the department slowing the growth in pay increases, while subsidies for off-base housing will be reduced as well. Co-pays for retirees and family members under the TRICARE health care plan will face modest increases, but health care for active duty personnel will remain free, the secretary told the panel, adding that the adjustments are tied to resourcing readiness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under our plan, 100 percent of the savings from compensation reform will go toward ensuring that our troops have the training and tools they need to accomplish their missions,â&#x20AC;? he said.

But Hagel warned that if Congress does not provide the department the money it needs, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it will jeopardize the readiness and capability of our armed forces and shortchange Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to effectively and decisively respond when global events demand it.â&#x20AC;?

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing comes midway through a congressional calendar that is not likely to see ďŹ nal action on a Pentagon budget for months.

| Victims honored

Continued from front â&#x20AC;&#x153;The courage we witnessed on the 16th of September did not end with the closing of that terrible day,â&#x20AC;? Mabus said, adding that people began returning to work the following day, and that three days later, most of the Navy Yard was reopened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thousands represented here today, whose lives had been in real peril just three days before, were back doing the vital work of our nation. That courage endures,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Navy Yard employees embody the mottos Semper Fortis - â&#x20AC;&#x153;always courageousâ&#x20AC;? - and Semper Fidelis - â&#x20AC;&#x153;always faithful,â&#x20AC;? Mabus said.

Navy Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert, chief of naval operations, said NavyYard person-

nel comprise sailors, civilians and families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are all shipmates,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last September [when] tragedy struck, shipmates demonstrated courage. Since that day, you have all embodied resilience [and] determination to continue the mission.â&#x20AC;?

Navy Yard employees, both military and civilian, are the foundation of American sea power, Greenert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your nation turns to you now in this period of our world, and the future, more than ever before,â&#x20AC;? the admiral added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have unmatched dedication, teamwork and patriotism, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m honored to call you my shipmates.â&#x20AC;?

About three dozen awards honored fallen Navy Yard employeesand surviving co-workers, an ofďŹ cial at the ceremony said.

AND ALL THAT JAZZ Toni Braxton and Babyface headline Hampton Jazz Fest along with The O’Jays, Chaka Khan, Charlie Wilson HAMPTON

The 47th annual Hampton Jazz Festival will take place over a three-day period at Hampton Coliseum on June 27 - 29 with a star-studded lineup taking the stage.

Friday’s show features the incomparable Charlie Wilson. Since storming back onto the music scene after his departure from the Gap Band, Charlie has turned out one hit after another and is currently one of the finest entertainers working today. Making his festival debut this year will be Jaheim – billed as possibly the next Luther – fans will come to appreciate the true greatness

of his voice. Also appearing on Friday will be a super jazz package featuring Jonathan Butler, Norman Brown and Alex Bugnon.

This is probably smooth jazz at its best.

Friday’s show will open with Jackie Scott & The Housewreckers with special guest William “Mobetta” Ledbetter.

Saturday’s show features Hampton Jazz Festival’s favorite The O’Jays paired with another icon of R&B music, Chaka Khan.

Together they are sure to give Festival patrons a once in a lifetime experience. Also appearing will be Morris Day & The Time – a great throwback to music from the 1970s and ’80s. Rounding out Saturday will be one of the true icons of the smooth jazz genre – Spyro Gyra.

Sunday’s show will feature something truly special. Toni Braxton and Babyface will both appear and perform complete

shows – but what will be really exciting for Festival patrons will be that they will perform songs together from their brand new smash album “Love, Marriage & Divorce.”

This will surely be one of the highlights of the Festival. Also appearing will be Dave Koz and Friends – and in this case his friends are Mindi Abair, Gerald Albright and Richard Elliott. Local Hampton Jazz fans will also delight in this year’s Sunday opener The Now & Then Trio + One, wellknown throughout the Tidewater area.

Tickets are to the Hampton Jazz Festival are $60 per day plus applicable fees, and are available online at www.Ticketmaster.com, charge-by-phone at 1-800745-3000, at all Ticketmaster Outlets, and at the Hampton Coliseum Box Office.

Attucks Theatre to host evening with Art Garfunkel NORFOLK

The iconic and incomparable Art Garfunkel is making his highly anticipated debut at the Attucks Theatre in Norfolk on June 28 at 8 p.m.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member and diamond-selling artist had taken time off to recover from a vocal ailment. Garfunkel kicked off his 2014 tour this January in Tennessee and has been playing a select number of performances throughout the country.

“The voice is back,” Garfunkel said. “I’m in flight again. I believe I have grown through adversity. A new creation has emerged that is truly exciting me – my stage show.”

Garfunkel performed a series of intimate warm-up shows in late 2013 and is excited to be back in action. These concerts included a stripped-down band, as well as a post-show Q&A with the audience.

The Columbus (OH) Dispatch said, “His achievement was considerable…One of the eve-

■ legendary career Although he is best known for being part of a duo with Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel’s solo career include a top 10 hit, three top 20 hits, and a People’s Choice Award. Through his solo and collaborative work, he has earned six Grammys, including the Lifetime Achievement Award.

ning’s singing highlights came as he added a beautiful vibrato to the rich mid-range part of the lovely original ‘Perfect Moment.’ More often, the singer concentrated on the song, scoring with a romantic take on Antonio Carlos Jobim’s ‘mature love song’ ‘Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars).’ ‘Someone To Watch Over Me’ displayed the continuing rightness of Garfunkel’s interpretation of durable standards (12/13/13).”

The Cleveland Plain-Dealer addressed the

show’s format, saying, “For 90 short minutes, Garfunkel enthralled the capacity crowd with songs, stories and even a question-and-answer period. Some of the tales and questions focused on the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s partner, Paul Simon. Some were about his young son, Beau. Some were about his party days in California. Some were about his distaste for texting and technology, and all elicited rapt, hear-a-pindrop attention…It’s a joy to hear and share the contentment in his songs and stories (12/14/13).”

You can also dig into ART’s website, where he chronicles--in order--every book he has read since 1968, his 60 favorite songs of all time, acting credits, poetry and discography: www. artgarfunkel.com Tickets are on sale at the Scope Arena Box Office, all Ticketmaster outlets, online at Ticketmaster.com or via phone at 1-800-745-3000.

Transformers: Age of Extinction As humanity picks up the pieces, following the conclusion of “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” Autobots and Decepticons have all but vanished from the face of the planet. However, a group of powerful, ingenious businessman and scientists attempt to learn from past Transformer incursions and push the boundaries of technology beyond what they can control – all while an ancient, powerful Transformer menace sets Earth in his crosshairs. A new group of humans, led by Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg, left), helps Optimus Prime (voice of Peter Cullen) and the Autobots rise up to meet their most fearsome challenge yet: a worldwide war of good versus evil.

They Came Together

In this sci-fi epic from director Bong Joon-Ho, a failed global-warming experiment kills off most life on the planet. The final survivors board the SNOWPIERCER, a train that travels around the globe via a perpetual-motion engine. When cryptic messages incite the passengers to revolt, the train thrusts full-throttle towards disaster. Stars Chris Evans, Song Kang-ho, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer, John Hurt and Ed Harris.

When Joel (Paul Rudd) and Molly (Amy Poehler) meet, it’s hate at first sight – his big corporation is the one that threatens to shut down her quirky knick-knack store. “They Came Together,” which follows their predictably on-again/off-again relationship, features rom-com staples such as the jealous ex-girlfriend, the office jerk, scary in-laws, a boring dentist, a wise dog and beautiful shots of New York City in autumn.

Winning strategy call brings Carl Edwards to victory in his ďŹ rst road-course career win

By Rick Minter

Carl Edwards celebrates in Victory Lane after his win in the Toyota/ Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway.

Universal Uclick

Just a week after all three of its drivers ran uncharacteristically badly at one of its best tracks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Michigan International Speedway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Roush Fenway Racing responded with a win

by Carl Edwards at Sonoma Raceway, a track where none of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current drivers had ever won before.

Edwardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; No. 99 Ford was fast in practice, and he qualiďŹ ed fourth. His veteran crew chief, Jimmy Fennig, who last won at Sonoma in 1997 with Mark Martin as his driver, made a winning strategy call when he brought Edwards to pit road on Lap 70. The caution ďŹ&#x201A;ag ďŹ&#x201A;ew just after that, and when that pit stop cycle ended, Edwards wound up among the leaders and took the top spot for good from Marcos Ambrose, with 26 of 110 laps left to run.

At the end, Edwards, despite his worn tires, held off runner-up Jeff Gordon (the same driver Martin beat back in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;97) and a fast-closing Dale Earnhardt Jr., who made a late stop for fresh tires and recorded the best Sonoma ďŹ nish of his Cup career.

It was a far different scenario than a week before, when Edwards ďŹ nished 23rd at Michigan, a track where his car owner Jack Roush leads all others in Cup victories. His teammates fared about as poorly at Michigan, with Greg BifďŹ&#x201A;e 20th and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. 27th.

Edwards said in his winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interview that his team didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything extra special in preparing for Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race on the California road course. He said his team gives 100 percent each week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not obviously running as well as we want at the bigger tracks, we prepared for this race the very best we could, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll prepare for Kentucky the best we can,â&#x20AC;?

Edwards said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to go out and take advantage of the places where we run well, and this year itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the short tracks and the road course; looks like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got that program going pretty well.

Edwards now has two wins for the season, the other coming on the short track, Bristol Motor Speedway, and is all but guaranteed a Chase berth. But Fennig said that being securely in the season-ending, 10-race run for the championship wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change his week-to-week strategy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we just stay with the plan weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been racing and trying to improve our mile-and-a-half program, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working really hard at it.â&#x20AC;?

But it does make life a little easier, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have two wins right now and be locked in really feels good because it also adds some bonus points, too,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Having two wins already this season and

being assured of a Chase berth also seemed to make a huge difference at Sonoma for Earnhardt, who had never ďŹ nished better than 11th there before.

Although heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not considered a top roadcourse talent, he ran among the top ďŹ ve for much of the race and ďŹ nished a strong third.

Not having to worry about a potential loss of points due to a poor ďŹ nish seemed to make a difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a fast car all weekend, and we ďŹ gured that our best opportunity to run well here would be to pit and get newer tires more often than everybody else,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So having the two wins in the season, it allowed us to really kind of gamble and go ahead and get back there in the mess and have newer tires, and it paid off.

We were able to drive up through there.â&#x20AC;?

Earnhardtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ&#x201A;awless. He bobbled once and knocked Matt Kenseth into a tire barrier, destroying Kensethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car. Then he had a dust-up with A.J. Allmendinger than sent Allmendinger spinning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had an eventful race,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tore Matt Kensethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car up pretty bad jumping that curb.

I was racing him a little hard there coming out of Turn 7.
