Naval Information Forces and local commands host LGBT pride month ceremony

By Robert J. Fluegel NAVIFOR Public Affairs SUFFOLK

Sailors and DON civilians assigned to Naval Information Forces (NAVIFOR), Naval Network Warfare Command, U.S. Fleet Cyber Command and U.S. 10th Fleet South, and Navy Cyber Defense Operations Command came together for an observance ceremony in honor and support of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) pride month, June 17.

Commander of NAVIFOR Rear Adm. Matthew J. Kohler delivered the fourth annual LGBT pride month observance’s opening remarks and introduced the guest speaker.

There was a moment of silence during the ceremony to honor those that were lost in the horrific attack on June 12, in Orlando, Florida, that left 49 people dead and 53 people injured.

“This is a sobering reminder that an attack on any American – regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender or sexual orientation – is an attack on all of us and on the fundamental values of equality, dignity, and respect that define us as a country,” Kohler said. “And no act of hate or terror will ever change who we are or the values that make us Americans.”

Units from the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group (CSG) and Turkish Naval Forces participated in a combined exercise, June 25.

The training evolutions were comprised of two phases, an anti-submarine warfare exercise (ASWEX) and an air defense exercise (ADEX).

The ASWEX was designed to leverage the unique capabilities and strengths of the U.S. and Turkish navies, while defending multiple units from possible sub-surface threats.

“Anti-submarine warfare is a major component in protecting the U.S. homeland and reassuring our commitment to our NATO partners,” Commander of Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 26 and sea combat commander for Eisenhower CSG Capt. Scott Switzer said. “Working with our counterparts in the Turkish navy helps hone our skills and amplifies our interoperability for future missions.”

The ASWEX, Eisenhower CSG’s second exercise since departing homeport June 1, focused on communication, maneuvering and surveillance and was executed from guided-missile destroyer USS Nitze (DDG 94).

“This is a great opportunity to work with Turkey and to practice all components of anti-submarine warfare,” submarine operations officer for DESRON 26 Lt. Alex Coker said. “The exercise execution was safe and professional for all units involved.”

Aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) and embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 3, along with multiple U.S. and Turkish Naval Forces ships participated in an ADEX. “Routinely conducting exercises, like today’s air defense exercise, strengthens the operational relationship between NATO partners and enhances interoperability between coalition forces in today’s complex military environment,” commanding officer of San Jacinto, and air and missile defense commander for Ike CSG Capt. Dennis Velez said. “Additionally, working alongside the Turkish Naval Forces demonstrates our commitment to the region and our NATO allies.”

The ADEX portion required communication between participating ships and aircraft in order to share tactical data and carry out a safe exercise. » See EISENHOWER | A7 Top photo: The Turkish G-Class frigate TCG Gaziantep (F-490) is underway in formation with the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Donald Cook (DDG 75) during an exercise with the Turkish and United States navies.

USNS LEWIS B. PULLER: THE FUTURE OF EXPEDITIONARY MINE HUNTING

By Bill Mesta Military Sealift Command Public Affairs ATLANTIC OCEAN

The Navy’s first expeditionary mobile base USNS Lewis B. Puller (T-ESB 3) got underway from Naval Station Norfolk to perform airborne countermine deployment training, June 13-16.

Puller’s hybrid crew of Sailors and civil service mariners (CIVMARs) worked in concert with Sailors assigned to Helicopter Mine Countermeasures Squadron (HM) 15 to hone mine elimination capabilities. “This underway was the first opportunity to merge the Puller’s full mission deck which included small boat operations, countermine sled launches and flight operations,�

Puller’s military crew officer-incharge Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Muehlbauer said. “The underway was our first opportunity to simultaneously launch aircraft, small boats and antimine sleds.� “We got underway to train in preparation for a future Initial Operational Test and Evaluation,� Puller’s Chief Mate Bryan Stoots said. “We performed a mock Airborne Mine Countermeasures mission, which included deployment of countermine assets from the ship’s Airborne Mine Countermeasures inventory.�

The training battery during the four-day underway consisted of deploying and recovering two types of

mine countermeasures from the deck of Puller.

One mine countermeasure deployed was a Mark 105 magnetic sled, which creates a magnetic field to destroy mines as it is towed behind a helicopter. The second type of countermeasure system used during the training battery was the Magnetic Orange Pipe (MOP). This system is a shallow-water mine countermeasure which also uses magnetism to negate mine threats.

The deployment of each countermeasure was broken down into multiple phases. Puller’s Deck Department Sailors and CIVMARs first launched three rigid-hull inflatable boats (RHIBs), manned by HM-15 Sailors. These boats were used to guide and maneuver the magnetic sled and MOP. Then the countermeasure devices were moved into position for towing. The sled was attached to one of HM-15’s MH-53 Sea Dragon helicopters and towed through simulated mine target area. “Prior to this underway, we developed these capabilities independently,� Muehlbauer said. “We tested and qualified the crew to handle small boats and crafts. On the flight deck, we qualified the crew to launch and recover different types of aircraft.�

After the designated target area was cleared, the mine countermeasures and the RHIBs were brought back aboard Puller. “The Puller is designed to sup-

port anti-mine countermeasure mission sets,� Muehlbauer said. “We are able to embark up to four MH-53 helicopters capable of towing different types of countermine equipment, such as different types of mine hunting sleds or mine-finding sonar through the water. To support these anti-mine operations we are able to launch and recover small boats and different mine neutralization assets.

This platform can be adapted very quickly to deploy the mine countermeasure assets required based on a particular situation.�

The future for Puller includes testing and evaluation. The vessel is also going to spend some time in the shipyard for upgrades and modifications prior to being permanently deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility in 2017. “The Puller is going to receive an upgrade which will enable special operations forces to utilize the ship for operations,� Muehlbauer said. “The Puller will be able to support maritime interdictions, operations potentially in-country, and different adaptive military packages to perform different types of special operations forces contingencies throughout the world.�

Fire Controlman 2nd Class Jessica Staley, assigned to guided-missile destroyer USS Nitze (DDG 94), is on the doorstep of history.

Like many Sailors, Staley joined the Navy to travel the world and get an education. “I wanted to be on submarines when I joined, but it wasn’t available [for women] at the time,� Staley said.

That all changed in January 2015, when the Navy announced enlisted women would be eligible to crossdeck to Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines (SSBN), Ohio-class guided-missile submarines (SSGN) and Virginia-class attack submarines (SSN) after allowing female officers the chance to serve on submarines in 2011.

Selection to the program was no easy feat. Staley had to submit three years-worth of evaluations, physical readiness test results, awards, letters of recommendation, complete a submarine physical and be evaluated by a board. “My chain of command has been awesome,� Staley said. “I have gotten letters of recommendation from both

captains and command master chiefs that I have served under since reporting to Nitze.�

Staley’s chain of command was there to support and assist with questions she had regarding the submarine force. “Since this program is so new, there were a lot of things that I was uncertain about, and my chief and leading petty officer used their connections to help me get answers,� Staley said.

Before cross-rating, Fire Controlman 1st Class Mario Grau, Staley’s leading petty officer, was a fire control technician (FT) stationed onboard Ohio-class ballistic-missile submarine USS Wyoming (SSBN 742). “Our chain of command has been extremely supportive of FC2’s [Staley’s] conversion to FT, from the captain on down,� Grau said.

Staley was Nitze’s Junior Sailor of the Quarter and is an extremely intelligent and self-motivated candidate for submarines, Grau explained.

Staley will report to Basic Enlisted Submarine School in October and start FT “A�

School late December. Upon completion of “A� school, she is set to report to the Ohioclass guided-missile submarine USS Florida (SSGN 728).

Eisenhower hosts U.S.-Italian Great Green Fleet reception From USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Public Affairs NAPLES, ITALY

Aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) hosted a reception while in port Naples as part of the Great Green Fleet partnership between the U.S. and Italian navies, June 18.

The event was a celebration of continued partnership with Italy and the Italian navy – Flotta Verde – and the U.S. joint commitment to energy efficiency and conservation.

“The ‘Mighty [Eisenhower]’ and her strike group are a centerpiece of the U.S. Navy’s effort to transform our energy use, improve our combat capability, and strengthen our ability to provide presence,” Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy Joe Bryan said. “We are not alone in that transformation.

Flotta Verde marks the Italian navy’s effort to lead the way on energy security and environmental stewardship.”

Commander of Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 10 Rear

Adm. Jesse Wilson referenced the saying, “amateurs talk tactics and experts talk logistics.”

“In Flotta Verde and Great Green Fleet we talk both, and the use of energy efficient systems relieves the burden on our logistics chains, enabling enhanced sustainment of our forces and [enhancing] our combat capability,” Wilson said.

On June 16, Eisenhower CSG ships participated in a multi-day passing exercise (PASSEX) involving units of the Italian navy’s Flotta Verde. The PASSEX highlighted energy conservation operations and included a replenishment-at-sea event, with Italian oiler ITS Etna (A5326) giving more than 15,000 gallons of advanced fuel (F76 equivalent) to the guided-missile destroyer USS Mason (DDG 87).

“This would not have been possible without the vision and leadership of the Italian navy,” Wilson said. “The recent Great Green Fleet operations in the Mediterranean,

along with the strike group port visits throughout Italy, further highlight energy conservation technologies for both navies and emphasizes our enduring partnership with Italy.”

The Great Green Fleet is the Department of the Navy’s (DON) energy conservation initiative that uses energy efficient systems, processes and

alternative energy in an operational environment, highlighting them as key enablers of combat capability and energy security.

The Great Green Fleet initiative began in 2009 when Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced five aggressive energy goals to reduce DON consumption of energy, decrease reliance on

foreign sources of oil and significantly increase its use of alternative energy.

The art of coalition operations today is to leverage the unique capabilities and strengths of each member.

The event aboard Eisenhower demonstrates the U.S. and Italian navies’ mutual commitment to increase energy efficiency as it enables our

forces to go farther, stay longer and deliver more combat capability while also continuing to foster our partnerships.

Eisenhower, along with the rest of the Eisenhower CSG, is conducting naval operations in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of responsibility in support of U.S. national security interests in Europe.

Mason Sailors, Italian Forces conduct VBSS exercises

By FC3 Cody J. Fischer USS Mason Public Affairs MEDITERRANEAN SEA

Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Mason (DDG 87) and Italian frigate ITS Carlo Margottini (F529) performed a joint international visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS) exercise, June 15.

Five VBSS members assigned to Mason were selected to travel to Margottini to help promote international relations and cooperation.

VBSS teams specialize in inspecting suspicious vessels in their ship’s area of responsibility while underway.

Teams have been known to find and apprehend illegal drugs, weapons, and other types of contraband aboard unknown vessels. The pres-

ence of ships and their respective teams play a vital role in American forces regulating and protecting known merchant areas in an effort to secure maritime sea lanes.

“Cross-training is always good,” Commander of the Italian navy Amphibious San Marco Brigade, Second Regiment Marines, Lt. Edoardo Luzzi said. “We do things differently, but can always learn from each other. I have specialized in maritime marine operations including VBSS. My favorite part of all my work and training is the close quarters combat.”

Luzzi has received training in the U.S. in courses at Camp Pendleton, California, and Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.

San Marco and Margottini hosted Mason’s VBSS team

and shared best practices on boarding scenarios, emphasizing the comparison between planning and attacking methods. The two teams’ tactics proved similar, yet each brought differences which served to improve their efficiency.

“It was an awesome experience with another country that went great,” Ship’s Serviceman 3rd Class Marcel Bird said. “We should continue exercises like this because

it creates stronger ties with countries we are working with. I felt the camaraderie start to build with the Italians as soon as we got on board.

The hospitality they showed us is something I will never forget.”

The VBSS exercise was part of a multi-day joint international exercise between elements of Eisenhower’s Carrier Strike Group ‘s Great Green Fleet and the Italian navy’s Flotta Verde to further

highlight energy conservation technologies and emphasize our enduring partnership with Italy.

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

NAVSUP SMALL BUSINESS EFFORTS RECOGNIZED BY NVSBC

By Kathy Adams Naval Supply Systems Command Office of Corporate Communications NORFOLK

Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) small business efforts were awarded a National Veteran Small Business Coalition (NVSBC) Champions of Veterans Enterprise Award, June 21.

The Champions of Veterans Enterprise Award is earned by organizations for having met or exceeded the mandated goal of providing opportunities to veteran-owned and service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses.

NAVSUP exceeded the congressional mandated goal of 3

percent of awards to service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses in 2015. With a total of $6.1 billion spent, NAVSUP achieved 9.21 percent of awards to veteran-owned small businesses and 5.9 percent of awards to service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses. This is the fifth year NAVSUP has exceeded the federal goal.

“NAVSUP has an excellent team of small business professionals and contracting personnel who recognize the capabilities available from service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses,” Associate Director of NAVSUP’s Office of Small Business Programs Carol Decker said. “We are honored to receive this award and we appreciate the critical role that veteran-owned small businesses played in helping

NAVSUP accomplish our mission.”

The mission of the NVSBC is to promote the use of veteranowned and service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses in federal contracting as prime vendors and subcontractors.

NAVSUP’s mission is to provide supplies, services, and quality-of-life support to the Navy and joint warfighter. With headquarters in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and employing a diverse, worldwide workforce of more than 22,500 military and civilian personnel, NAVSUP oversees logistics programs in the areas of supply operations, conventional ordnance, contracting, resale, fuel, transportation, and security assistance. In addition, NAVSUP is responsible for food service, postal services, Navy Exchanges, and movement of household goods.

“The intent of this conversation is to inform and educate,” Stansberry said. “It is not intended to dissuade anyone’s personal opinions or religious beliefs. Respect each other, open up discussions and talk with people that are different than yourself and be compassionate to others.”

As Sailors and DON civilians sat together they also watched a video of the Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus’s speech at the LGBT observance ceremony that was held at the Pentagon earlier this month.

Through these monthly observances, efforts are made to increase awareness, mutual respect and understanding of that month’s designated observance, as well as promoting cross-cultural and cross-gender awareness.

These events help contribute to the harmony of military members, their families and the civilian workforce.

This year’s theme is celebration, and calls Americans to eliminate prejudice and celebrate our diversity. This June, the Navy recognizes LGBT service members and civilians for their dedicated service to our country. For service members, repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell in 2011 allowed gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals to serve openly in the armed forces. Currently, the DOD is reviewing its transgender policy for the armed forces.

“Our Sailors come from all walks of life. We are all unique, yet each of us brings something to what makes our great Navy what it is today,” NAVIFOR Force Master Chief Toby Ruiz said. “While our military continues to change and work towards making significant steps for equality in the workforce, we still have room to improve.

We improve by learning the rules, setting and communicating expectations, and most importantly, treating everyone with dignity and respect. We improve by how we positively interact with and value each other!”

Commander of Naval Information Forces Rear Adm. Matthew J. Kohler delivered the fourth annual lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Pride Month observance’s opening remarks and introduced the guest speaker.

Guests toured USS Bataan (LHD 5) Continued from A1 Sailor employees. Each employer was selected based on nominations by the Sailors they employ, and this year’s event featured invited guests from 37 companies and 13 different states.

“It’s important that we recognize these employers from across our nation who have given their Navy Reserve Sailors the time they need to fulfill their military duties,” Chief of Navy Reserve Vice Adm. Robin R. Braun said.

“These employers have gone above and beyond to support their Sailors. In many cases, they’re also helping out families while their Sailor is deployed.

We appreciate the outstanding support that’s being provided – not only to individual Sailors and families, but to the Navy and the nation.”

The day’s first stop was Joint Amphibious Base Little Creek-Fort Story where, following a welcome brief with Braun and Commander of Navy Reserve Forces Command Rear Adm. Eric Young, 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.

“I have been completely amazed,” Kristin Ranek said, site director at Convergys in St. Louis, Missouri. “I had no idea of the diversity of what the reserves did hand-in-hand with the active-duty military. It’s been very educational and very impressive.”

Convergys currently has a Navy Reserve employee deployed in Djibouti.

The 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 Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewmen (SWCC) boat unit firing blanks to simulate the rescue. The SEAL team members who participated in the event are all reserve Sailors.

“I bet every boy in America grows up idolizing the Navy SEALs,” Bryan Badzin said, president and owner of

SuperClean Brands in Eagan, Minnesota. “The thing that hit me is we had seen a video about the demonstration before we came, but you can’t get the full effect of just what it is by watching a video. When you see it live – the boats roaring in, the machine guns – it was super cool, and getting to talk to these guys to see the fire in their eyes; it’s very cool.”

“We are a small company,” Badzin said. “We have 12 people, so if we lose one person you feel it, but we told our employee to go do what he had to do and we would be here waiting for him when he got back.”

Commanding Officer of SEAL Team 18 Cmdr. Jim Spagnoli, was especially excited to demonstrate the unit’s capabilities and help show their appreciation to the employers.

“The reserve Sailors are my command,” Spagnoli said. “My command exists because of reserve Sailors, including myself. I have more than 400 reserve Sailors, and I have never heard of an employer that did not support their activity.”

“My employer offers me military time off that does not interfere with my vacation or my sick time,” Navy Reserve Builder 2nd Class Kathleen Foley said, a member of SEAL Team 18 who works as a teacher with the Pasco County, Florida School District. “They recognize all the military employees on Veteran’s Day. Anything I want to do to advance my career with the SEAL team, they are on board with it.”

Foley has completed two deployments to Afghanistan that kept her away from her teaching job for one year each time.

“Employer support is absolutely critical to the Navy Reserve’s mission,” Braun said. “We currently have 2,100 reserve Sailors deployed around the world. Making sure those reserve Sailors have a job when they come back from that yearlong mobilization is critical, and that’s why this event is wonderful. We’re recognizing employers who have given outstanding support to their Navy Reserve Sailor. In fact, many of the employers here have Sailors who are deployed right now overseas. So this is a great opportunity for us to recognize them for the outstanding support they give.”

Following lunch, the honorees had the opportunity to witness life aboard a Navy ship during a tour of the amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5) at Naval Station (NAVSTA) Norfolk.

The event wrapped up with a trip to Chambers Field at NAVSTA Norfolk, where employers had the opportunity to see E-2 Hawkeye, C-130 Hercules, C-40 Clipper, F/A-18 Hornet, MH-60 Sea Hawk and MH-53 Sea Dragon aircraft and meet with aviators from regional squadrons before ending their day at a reception at the historic Pennsylvania House.

“Our hope is that the employers gain a better understanding of what their Navy Reserve Sailors are doing when they leave to support Navy missions around the world,” Braun said. “In many cases, their Sailors are deploying and leaving their company for a year at a time to mobilize, so today gives them a better picture of the capabilities the Navy brings to our nation, and also the type of support our reserve Sailors provide to the Navy.”

NMCP | More than 100 patients, friends, family and staff attended Continued from A1 More than 100 patients, friends, family and NMCP staff attended the event, which included a guest speaker, a ceremonial walk, a reading of a poem, and a cake-cutting reception. The day allowed patients and staff members to connect and offered support and inspiration to cancer survivors and their families.

According to the NCSD foundation, a survivor is defined as anyone with a history of cancer, from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life. Regardless of whether a patient is just beginning treatment or in remission, NMCP acknowledges that cancer survivors face

a variety of challenges – not only with their disease, but also outside of their cancer.

“There are a lot of potential psychosocial issues a patient can be dealing with that could prevent them from adequately engaging in their health care,” clinical oncology social worker and head of the Social Work Department Lt. Cmdr. Joseph Ford said. “It could be their housing situation, benefits, food, transportation, a compromising relationship – any number of things.”

Ford has developed a distress screening to identify which patients need additional services, as mental health can also be an issue for cancer patients, so that NMCP staff can help them cope with

the additional stressors that come with cancer.

During the NCSD event, guest speaker Army Maj. Gen. Bill Hix, the current director of Strategy, Plans and Policy; deputy chief of staff of the Department of the Army Headquarters, spoke of his own challenges with cancer.

“Cancer tested me in a way that Ranger or special forces training and combat never did,” Hix said. “I thought I was resilient, indeed I thought I was indestructible, and cancer humbled me.”

Hix, who is currently celebrating 15 months in remission after a battle with head and neck cancer, also addressed fellow cancer patients and survivors directly,

offering positive words and inspiration.

“All of you are a testimony that a cancer diagnosis today is increasingly not the end, but the beginning of a transformative, enlightening and heroic journey,” Hix said.

After the conclusion of Hix’s remarks, event attendees walked outside together from the medical center’s chapel, along Hospital Point to Building 1, in a show of support for survivors.

Upon reaching the steps of Building 1, attendees gathered for a reading of a poem written by Kevin Nowak about fighting cancer, followed by a reception in the building’s foyer.

NAVY’S FINAL SATELLITE IN MUOS CONSTELLATION LAUNCHES SUCCESSFULLY From Space and Naval Systems Command Public Affairs CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA.

The Navy’s fifth Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) satellite launched from Space Launch Complex 41 aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket in the 551 launch vehicle configuration on June 24.

MUOS-5 is an on-orbit spare and the final satellite in the five-satellite MUOS constellation. The satellite is success-

fully responding to commands from a Navy and Lockheed Martin team operating MUOS-5 from the Naval Satellite Operations Center, Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu, California.

“With this marking the last launch of the Navy’s MUOS system, I want to thank the entire MUOS team for all the hard work that goes into making these launches successful and the ongoing efforts of those who support the endto-end integration of the MUOS system around the world,” Program Executive

Officer Space Systems Rear Adm. Christian Becker said. “We are looking forward to continued collaboration with the other services and our industry partners as we mature the full system and deliver it for operational use.”

MUOS is an Internet Protocol-based system designed to provide improved communications capabilities to users around the world, regardless of where they are in relation to a satellite, and will provide greater than 10 times the bandwidth capacity compared with the

current ultra-high frequency (UHF) constellation.

“The MUOS Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system provides significantly increased capacity and coverage, superior voice quality and Internet-like capabilities, enabling warfighters the flexibility to better communicate what they need to, when they need to,” Program Manager for the Navy Communications Satellite » See SATELLITE | B7

RECONSTRUCTING PATRIOTISM

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military spouse contributor

Back in 1976, it was the U.S. bicentennial, and I was in the fourth grade. At East Pike Elementary, Ms. Degatano’s class was picked to re-enact life in 1776. For five months until school let out for summer, we wore bonnets and three-cornered hats, churned butter, sewed our own flags, ran a general store, and did our class work by candlelight. Not only was it an excellent way to learn our nation’s history, it was really cool.

When Independence Day rolled around, copious amounts of hot dogs were grilled, watermelon sliced, and cobs of corn boiled as friends and family gathered in honor of this exceptional national birthday. With bellies full of barbecue, we bent our faces upward to see what our forefathers saw in The Revolutionary War-torn sky two centuries ago. We “oooed” and “aaahhhed” as the fireworks imitated “the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,” and we took it for granted that Ameri-

cans are special.

But nowadays, thanks to the complex quagmire of extremes in modern society, the mere act of being patriotic has become a political statement subject to judgment, debate, and controversy.

Webster’s Dictionary defines “patriotism” simply as “love for or devotion to one’s country,” but the complicated gridlock of ideas regarding politics, economics, religion, domestic issues, gender roles and sexual norms has politicized national pride.

A person can no longer identify as “patriotic” without suggesting that he or she might also be prolife, pro-gun, pro-war, anti-gay, anti-amnesty, or racist. How did patriotism become bogged down with so much extra baggage?

Terrorist attacks have become a regular part of our 24/7 news stream, and rather than banding together the way Americans did after 9/11, public discourse degrades into bitter debates over gun control, administrative failures, race and religion. The “new normal” for political campaigns

includes tabloid-like press coverage, bitter personal attacks, Twitter wars, and violent protests. Extreme divisiveness has the public defensively poised, ready to pit black against white, gay against straight, atheist against believer, male against female, choice against life, and animal against human in an all-out fight for who has rights.

In recent years, scholars, pundits and pop stars have pontificated over whether patriotism is the quiet and unpretentious love of the best ideals of one’s homeland, or ferocious blind faith jingoistic nationalism that incites excessive military action. See www.thenation.com/article/whatpatriotism/ and www.cbsnews. com/news/how-do-you-definepatriotism/.

Every year around this time, new polls on patriotism ask questions such as: “Would you describe yourself as patriotic?” “Do you feel this country has gotten off track?” “Are you proud to be an American?” “Do you think the United States has a unique charac-

ter that makes it the greatest country in the world?” Each statistic is broken down by gender, race, age and political party, so that inferences can further separate individual groups. See www.aei.org/ publication/aei-public-opinionstudy-polls-on-patriotism/.

Despite the attempts to deconstruct patriotism, the intangible notion of “The American Spirit” remains intact, having transcended current governments and political parties. Ever since our forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence back in 1776, America has been a truly unique melting pot of democratic values, personal liberties, military superiority, industrial and scientific advancements, and humanitarian responsibility.

As a military family, we have daily reminders of how fortunate we are to be Americans. Every morning, we pause reverently to face one of the many flags flown on base, hands over hearts, to hear “The Star Spangled Banner.”

“United States” is in the job title of every military serviceperson.

War monuments and memorials on base remind us of those who fought and paid the ultimate price for our democracy and freedom.

For us, patriotism is a lifestyle.

But average Americans caught up in the complications of the 21st Century may need to be reminded that patriotism is not a political statement — it is an expression of our undying American Spirit.

This July 4th, keep it simple.

Wear red, white and blue. Fire up the barbecue. Fly the flag. Raise your face to the night sky. Wipe away the tangled web of rhetoric and divisiveness, and remember what it means to be free.

Summer Safety: Heat and Fireworks

By Katie Lange DOD News, Defense Media Activity

Is it hot enough for you yet this summer? If you’re living in the continental U.S., there’s a good chance that answer is yes.

Heat waves have moved across the country in the past few weeks, and now that your kids are out of school for the summer, it’s probably a good time to remind them how to make it through the day outside of the serenity of an airconditioned house. Since the Fourth of July is around the corner, it’s also a good time for a little fireworks safety refresher course.

Here’s our second installation of summer safety tips:

Surviving High Heat: It’s summer in most of the places in which our troops are stationed, which means parades and outdoor time for the family – and the usual heat that comes with it. Here are some things to know when getting your kids ready to spend the day in the sun: Dress for the heat – wear breathable fabrics, like cotton, as well as hats and sunglasses that can protect your face and eyes from harmful rays.

Hydrate! Always make sure

your kids have lots of water. Many drinks like sodas and powdered drink mixes are full of sugar, which can actually dehydrate you more, so the key is water. Make sure they have plenty!

Keep an eye out for heat advisories and try to plan outdoor activities around the hottest parts of the day – between noon and 4 p.m.

Find shade when you can.

This one is pretty obvious, but it always needs to be said: NEVER leave your children unattended in a car. Heat can kill very quickly.

The most tragic cases are almost always accidents, so try to put something in your front seat or dashboard that reminds you that your child is in the car with you – a teddy bear, a pacifier or even a “baby on board” sticker. That way, if you’re rushing around running errands, you have a reminder that they’re in there with you, too.

If you’re kids are excessively sweating, seem weak, dizzy, have clammy skin, muscle cramps, get nauseous or faint, they might have heat exhaustion. Get them into a cool area and, if needed, get the help of a doctor.

Sunscreen: Ultraviolet rays can damage skin within 15 minutes, so make sure you put a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher

on your children about 10-15 minutes before they go outside so it has time to properly soak in. Re-apply it often, especially if your kids are swimming, sweating or toweling off. Sunscreens have a shelf life, so throw them away if they’re more than a year or two old. Make sure to use cosmetics and lip balms that have an SPF, too.

Learn all about how UV rays affect your skin and what’s in sunscreens to combat them here http://tinyurl.com/jcbrwpl. You can also learn more about treating bad sunburn and skin cancer here http://tinyurl.com/gvoul5k.

Fireworks: There’s no holiday that’s more synonymous with fireworks than the Fourth of July, and it’s coming up quickly. Chances are there are going to be fireworks involved in your celebration. But, as you likely know, exploding varying chemicals into the air can be a dangerous thing for anyone who handles them – just ask Jason Pierre-Paul of the NFL’s New York Giants.

Here are a couple of things to remember when setting off fireworks around your kids: Don’t allow your kids access to the fireworks.

If you allow them sparklers,

celebrate locally Check out the cover of the On Liberty section to read about local Fourth of July events happening in Hampton Roads! make sure you monitor them. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says sparklers burn at about 2,000 degrees – hot enough to melt some metals – and about half of sparkler-related injuries happen to children under age 14, so they’re no joke.

Never put any body part directly over a firework device after lighting the fuse, and make sure you back up immediately.

Keep a water source handy, like a filled bucket or hose, in case something goes wrong.

Don’t ever point or throw fireworks at another person.

Don’t ever try to relight duds!

Once they’re done burning, douse fireworks in water before throwing them out so you don’t cause a trash fire.

Be sure to know what is legal in your state, too. A few states only allow sparklers, while some have bans on all consumer fireworks.

Pacific Partnership 2016 concludes mission stop to Timor Leste

By MC2 Hank Gettys Pacific Partnership 2016 Public Affairs DILI, TIMOR LESTE

Pacific Partnership 2016 departed Timor Leste on June 21, after completing two weeks of subject matter expert exchanges (SMEE) in civil-military disaster response preparedness, cooperative health engagements (CHE) and engineering projects. “At every level we’ve continued to build upon the partnerships we began 10 years ago when Pacific Partnership first visited Timor Leste,� Pacific Partnership 2016 mission commander Commodore Tom Williams said. “We’ve forged new relationships, increased the scope of our mission with our Timor Leste partners and our collective capacity to respond to disaster in the region. The teamwork I’ve seen in Timor Leste gives me great confidence that as we leave here we are all better prepared to respond when disaster strikes.�

A key event of this mission stop was the five-day Humanitarian Assistance Disaster Relief symposium, co-hosted by the Falantil-Forca Defeza Timor Leste and Pacific Partnership. Civilians and military personnel from partner nations and humanitarian organizations participated in discussions, workshops and a

tabletop exercise to focus on civil-military coordination to support a collaborative, rapid response to natural disasters in Timor Leste. The symposium also integrated discussions of women’s role in disaster response planning and execution.

Engineering projects, conducted by Timorese soldiers, U.S. Navy Seabees, U.S. Marines and Australian engineers, included the renovations of Maneluana Primary School and Aimutin School, which also serve as civilian shelters during disasters.

Medical teams conducted various engagements in Timor Leste and aboard hospital ship USNS Mercy (TAH 19), including SMEEs and CHEs for surgery, dentistry, antenatal and postnatal care, women’s health, blood bank administration, biomedical repair, children’s health, nutrition, industrial hygiene infection control, and veterinary services. “A lot of us had not been to Timor Leste before, so we didn’t know as a team what to expect,� director for surgical and medical services aboard Mercy Lt. Cmdr. Pete Bradford said. “But we have had a lot of opportunity to share our expertise and they have had an opportunity to share their expertise. It has been satisfying because we are definitely in our element when we are

SWO BOSS VISITS BURLINGTON TO PROMOTE THE NAVY

Swim call onboard Stennis Sailors climb back aboard after jumping from aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis’ (CVN 74) elevator during a swim call.

By MC1 Trevor Welsh Naval Surface Forces Public Affairs BURLINGTON, VT.

Nestled on the shores of historic Lake Champlain along the Vermont-New York border sits the most populous city in the state. Burlington boasts a rich naval heritage, yet like most land-locked cities, less than 1 percent of its citizens have served or know someone who has served in the Navy.

Commander of Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet, Vice Adm. Thomas Rowden – leader of the surface warfare officer community – visited Burlington June 20-22, as part of the Navy’s Executive Engagement Visit program. During this visit Rowden, affectionately known as the “SWO Boss,” talked with city leaders and citizens about why the surface Navy is important to them.

A native of Washington, D.C., and a 1982 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Rowden also has as a rich naval heritage and ties to the local community.

“My father, who retired as a three-star admiral, grew up in Wells River, Vermont, and I have fond memories of vacationing here in Vergennes,” Rowden said.

In recognition of the strong ties between the Navy and Vermont, many of its ships have been named in honor of the state and its communities, such as USS Lake Champlain (CG 57), USS Montpelier (CL 57), USS Ticonderoga (CG 47) and USS Vermont (BB 20).

“One of my favorite things about Vermont is its strong Navy history,” Rowden said. “Vergennes is where the nascent American fleet defeated the British in the Battle of Plattsburgh on Lake Champlain. USS Saratoga and USS Ticonderoga were among some of the fine Navy ships built on Otter Creek at the mouth of Lake Champlain. Vermont has always had, and will continue to have, a special place in Navy history.”

While in Burlington, Rowden met with Burlington’s Rotary Club, the Vermont Council on World Affairs, the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the dean of the University of Vermont, College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences and faculty of the school’s Complex Systems Studies. He also visited the University of Vermont Children’s Hospital, the Burlington Electric Department biomass facility to discuss the Great Green Fleet, and tossed out the first pitch at a Vermont Lake Monsters baseball game.

This visit was to reaffirm ties to the Vermont community and inform the public about the capability, importance, and value of today’s Navy and its relevance to national security.

“The current security environment is much different today than it was 10 or even five years ago,” Rowden said. “And this is exactly why the United States needs a strong and capable Navy. In any security environment, the best defense is a great offense. It is the Navy that helps keep these threats away from our shores and borders. Presence matters. We want America to know that their United States Navy is deployed around the world, around the clock, protecting and defending America on the world’s oceans, and that the United States Navy is ready to defend America at all times. We are the ‘away team.’”

The Navy’s mission is to provide combatant commanders with lethal, ready, well-trained, and logistically-supported naval forces to assure, deter and win.

“I am thrilled to be here representing the Navy, discussing its relevance, and explaining why it is important not only to our national security, but to our way of life,” Rowden said.

USFF Destructive Decision Workshop brings insight to NAS Jacksonville Sailors

By MC1 Stacy D. Laseter Navy Region Southeast Public Affairs JACKSONVILLE, FLA.

What is your definition of a destructive decision? Is it drinking and driving? Is it an alcohol-related incident? How about domestic abuse?

U.S. Fleet Forces Command recently visited with Naval Air Station Jacksonville Sailors to get them thinking about just those things.

The event was hosted by U.S. Fleet Forces Command Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) officer Capt. Charles Marks. Commander of Navy Region Southeast Rear Adm. Mary Jackson’s opening remarks emphasized the importance of understanding destructive behaviors and how leadership should own them.

“When we start to peel back the layers of what a destructive decision is, lots of different things come to mind ¬– including suicide, suicidal behavior, and alcohol,” Jackson said. “Even small things, such as the fast-paced and global way we communicate can be contributing factors to destructive behavior. We have come to the point where we realize that there are linkages between all of these destructive behaviors. As Sailors, we have to figure out how we are going to get in front of this.”

Navy statistics show an estimated 15 percent of Sailors wrestle with some form of destructive behavior – suicide or suicidal ideations, alcohol

incidents, domestic violence, sexual assault, or prescription drug abuse.

The Navy is working to help Sailors avoid destructive conduct by giving them and their leaders the tools needed to treat themselves and others with respect.

The goal of the workshop was to teach Navy leaders prevention and awareness. According to Marks, the leadership teams of the Chiefs Mess and wardroom should engage in a deckplate effort to reduce the number of destructive behaviors.

“Culture change is not easy,” Marks said. “It requires all-hands participation, starting with each of you.”

The workshop contained content tailored to deckplate supervisors, command triads, and program managers, including command climate specialists, equal opportunity officers, drug and alcohol program advisors, sexual assault prevention and response points of contact, unit victim advocates, family advocacy program coordinators, urinalysis program coordinators, and suicide prevention coordinators.

Yeoman 2nd Class Reaunta Evans, a deckplate supervisor training attendee, said what she took away was a renewed sense of what could be considered destructive.

“You don’t always think about the Internet being destructive,” Evans said. “But if you stay up late browsing and come to work late repeatedly, that is definitely not a good behavior,

and needs to be addressed.”

Janine Latus, author of “If I am Missing or Dead: A Sister’s Story of Love, Murder and Liberation,” was the keynote speaker who spoke about the physical abuse she endured, and the loss she felt when her sister was murdered by an abusive boyfriend.

She explained the warning signs of an abuser. For example, isolation – either emotional or economic – as well as sexual abuse can be part of an abuser’s pattern. An abuser may also use children, make threats, intimidate or may use male privilege to break down a significant other.

During the second day of the workshop, motivational speaker and son of legendary boxer “Sugar” Ray Leonard, Ray Leonard Jr., spoke about his family and the destructive decisions that shaped his life. He explained how his father once beat his mom and how he felt guilty by not being able to step in to help her. He also spoke about his mother’s suicide attempt, and how he is now learning to use these stories to help others.

“It’s about being strong,” Leonard said. “And coming from a boxing family, I don’t mean just physically.

You have to be strong emotionally, and stand up. Become a beacon for someone else.”

By changing approaches on interpersonal relationships and empowering Sailors with knowledge of their rights and boundaries, U.S. Fleet Forces Command is committed to positively changing these behaviors.

SAPR

NAVY REGION SINGAPORE HOSTS DATE SAFE PROJECT Founder of the Date Safe Project Mike Domitrz gives his presentation “Can I Kiss You?” to Sailors.

By Marc Ayalin Navy Region Center Singapore Public Affairs SINGAPORE

MC3 Jermaine M. Ralliford Sailors assigned to U.S. Naval Forces Korea and Fleet Activities Chinhae applaud at the conclusion of the performance education workshop presented by the actor-advocates of Pure Praxis.

Pure Praxis brings innovative SAPR training to Korea From U.S. Naval Forces Korea Public Affairs JINHAE, REPUBLIC OF KOREA

Service members and civilians stationed throughout the Republic of Korea attended interactive sexual assault prevention and response (SAPR) training while the Pure Praxis theater group visited the peninsula, June 20-23.

While contracted by the Department of the Navy’s SAPR office, more than 1,300 members from each branch of service are experiencing the socially adaptive performance group during shows in Seoul, Osan, and Jinhae.

“I’ve been through a lot of SAPR training in my days,” Commander of U.S. Naval Forces Korea Rear Adm. Bill Byrne said. “I was at one of the performances this week [in Seoul] and the performance was simply the best I’ve ever seen.”

According to the group, it uses improvisational theater to rehearse for difficult life situations so the audience can practice positive, creative, and safe solutions.

“We want this to resonate,” Pure Praxis founder and President Kelly Pfleider said. “We want people to walk out of this training, hear something inappropriate, and know they should act.”

Pure Praxis uses their interactive workshops to confront social issues, like sexual assault, by discussing topics including bystander intervention, proactive prevention, domestic violence, re-victimization, harassment, awareness and empathy, sexism and appreciation of diversity.

“For me, today was about making a culture shift,” Chief Information Systems Technician Frank F. Gordon Jr. said. “It is about learning and appreciating what others are going through and helping them heal. It is about empowering victims and witnesses with the tools to prevent and respond to sexual assaults.”

Navy Region Singapore hosted a different type of sexual assault awareness and prevention training event June 20, as Mike Domitrz, author of “May I Kiss You?” and executive director of The Date Safe Project, presented an interactive and entertaining take on dating and intimacy.

More than 200 U.S. Sailors, Department of Defense civilians and their family members attended the hourlong presentation held at the region’s Terror Club upper patio. According to The Date Safe Project, Domitrz is a critically-acclaimed author and works closely with the U.S. military with his unique approach in discussing society’s approach to sex, gaining consent, bystander intervention and how to better support survivors.

For Domitrz, his message and goals were simple.

“I wanted to let people know about and discuss three main topics of asking first, intervening, and supporting survivors of sexual assault,” Domitrz said.

Domitrz’ first topic of discussion, “Ask First,” included a role play on asking partners or first opening communication about wanting sex. He then discussed making mistakes when relying on body language and pointed out real-life scenarios of assumptions couples can make. During the presentation, the crowd participated in role-playing exercises designed to act out everyday scenarios people often encounter during intimacy.

“We used role playing and real-life scenarios so people can see how this pertains to their life, whether they’re married or single. And that’s the key to this training – that every person feels like ‘this relates to me,’” Domitrz said.

The relatable situations appeared to resonate well with the audience as they laughed and chuckled when Domitrz drove home the main points of his topics. For example, in his intervening topic, service members took part in a role-playing scenario that included a bar scene where a person used alcohol to get someone drunk for sexual favors.

In this scenario, Domitrz discussed in-

tervention opportunities with the audience, and while some scenarios were funny, Domitrz maintained the seriousness of the subject.

In supporting survivors of sexual assault, Domitrz stressed the importance of being there for them. He said, it is important to say to survivors, “If anything ever happens to you, I am here for you.”

Throughout the presentation, Domitrz reminded everyone about the military protocol for reporting sexual assault. He explained the differences between restricted and unrestricted reporting and provided resources where victims can go for help.

For Logistics Specialist 2nd Class Jalisa Charles, a unit victim advocate for Fleet Logistics Center Site Singapore, Domitrz’s training event was a great approach.

“Today’s presentation was good in that it helped to reiterate the same messages that we teach our military service

members,” Charles said. “It’s really great that Mike Domitrz spoke about the resources available for people for when they need help such as chaplains, unit victim advocates, sexual assault response coordinators, and in most cases, medical professionals.”

Sexual assault prevention and response officer for Navy Region Singapore Lt. Cmdr. Mark Robinson said he was glad Domitrz and his Date Safe Project initiatives are here for the U.S. military communities.

“It is so very important that we show our support for victims,” Robinson said. “Mr. Domitrz emphasized that direct support for survivors includes listening to them, being there for them, and not blaming them. It’s important that we support survivors of sexual assault. Every person deserves respect.”

As the presentation came to a close, Domitrz requested audience members take what they learned and spread the word to others. In recap of his presentation, Domitrz asked several individuals what they would practice once they left the Terror Club. Several service members restated they’d practice asking their partners about their moods before intimately engaging one another and would not assume their partner is in the same mood as he or she. Lastly, as an incentive for audience participation, Domitrz gave away free items such as T-shirts, DVDs on communicating with teens, and books about sexual assault survivors.

CNATT Sailor serves as guest speaker for Eglin AFB LGBT event From Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Public Affairs EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, FLA.

A Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT) Sailor served as the guest speaker for the Eglin Air Force Base lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Pride Month commemoration on June 16, at the Two Trees Restaurant in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

CNATT Command Climate Specialist and Military Equal Opportunity Advisor Master Chief Culinary Specialist Dwayne D. Beebe-Franqui addressed the civilian and military attendees at the nearly two-hour event. His interactive presentation, designed to showcase strides made in the LGBT community towards equality throughout the U.S. military and the Department of Defense, centered on empowerment, mentoring, and education – something he said is imperative in the changing climate of the U.S. military.

“I served – as many did – under the ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy,” Beebe-Franqui said. “At times it was difficult, but I always focus on working hard and taking care of mentoring the Sailors at each of the commands at which I’ve served. And that’s what I tell younger service members.”

Attendees at the LGBT Pride luncheon also heard a presentation on the history of the LGBT movement in the U.S., as well as a reading of the Presidential Proclamation designating June 2016 as LGBT Pride Month.

The month of June, recognized in commemoration of the Stonewall Riots, which took place in June 1969 at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, New York – generally viewed as the catalyst for the U.S. LGBT movement – was officially designated LGBT Pride Month by President Barack Obama.

Beebe-Franqui believes the recent revisions to existing military policies, including the March 2015 Family and Medical Leave Act, are demonstrative of the strides taken in equal treatment of LGBT service members.

“It was a great honor to be invited to the White House for an event honoring the achievements and advancement of the LGBT community,” Beebe-Franqui said.

CNATT is the technical training agent for the Naval Aviation Enterprise, an organization designed to advance and sustain naval aviation warfighting capabilities at an affordable cost, and is the largest training center under the Naval Education and Training Command.

USS John C. Stennis Public Affairs WESTERN PACIFIC

USS John C. Stennis’ (CVN 74) multi-cultural heritage committee hosted a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) pride month celebration, June 20.

The event included Sailors addressing personal experiences and major events in LGBT history as well as musical selections and dance performances.

“Ceremonies like these are important because they bring awareness and open people’s eyes to what we are actually dealing with in life,” Logistics Specialist 3rd Class Luis Bermudez said. “It shows them that we’re human too.”

Speakers talked about the history of LGBT service members, their struggle for equality, personal struggles both in and out of the Navy, and the recent mass shooting in Orlando, Florida.

“I am here for a cause that is bigger than you and I,” Bermudez said.

“LGBT pride month is about finding solace within yourself, seeking trust

MC3 Kenneth Rodriguez Santiago

and becoming one with it, and showing acceptance in who you are.”

The event also included song selections and a flash mob dance demonstration that included many Sailors from the audience.

The event was one of many throughout the Department of Defense LGBT pride month, which happens every June and aims to promote diversity, the history and contributions of the LGBT community.

“These events promote diversity

by allowing people to have a starting point in something they may not know a lot about,” Aviation Support Equipment Technician Airman Alexander Faber said. “I think that creates a lot of diversity by giving people a better picture what things like this are all about.”

Providing a ready force supporting security and stability in the Indo-AsiaPacific, Stennis is operating as part of the Great Green Fleet on a regularly scheduled U.S. 7th Fleet deployment.

GOGGLES | Doubles view field of traditional night vision goggles Continued from B1 Manager for Visual Augmentation Systems Brenda Flanagin said.

Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane optical scientists measured the WFOV NVG and found combat efficiency improvements ranging from a typical 19.8 percent to a maximum improvement of 33.9 percent.

Additionally, measured movement speed improvements ranged from a typical 35.2 percent, to a maximum improvement of 63.7 percent.

The WFOV NVG system was developed as part of the Department of Defense Rapid Innovation Fund Program, and NSWC Crane began implementing a cost effective upgrade to existing night field goggles in fiscal year 2009.

A contract is currently in place to retrofit existing night field goggles with WFOV optics. The contract saves an estimated $32,000 per comparable system and millions more in logistics and sustainment costs. The total sav-

ings and cost avoidance is greater than $39 million.

In a 5-year contract with a $48 million ceiling, NAVSEA is already beginning to see those cost avoidances in the first year.

In a recent deployment with two NECC Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams who engaged in combat operations, WFOV NVGs increased operator situational awareness across 90 percent of EOD operations.

Further testing was conducted at an Army Technical Support & Operational Analysis (TSOA) event, which supported previous combat effectiveness findings.

According to the TSOA results, “Warfighters strongly supported the WFOV F-NVG’s 80-degree field of vison and nominated this technology as a technology of warfighter interest in terms of warfighter utility.”

Baseline WFOV NVGs are ready for procurement with options to conduct warfighter community-focused customization.

COURSE | Twenty-five students from eight navies participated Continued from B1 “This is the largest gathering of international officers put together,” U.S. Naval War College (NWC) Professor Jim Murray said.

APNIC, which is facilitated by representatives from the NWC and the JMSDF Command and Staff College, also aims to strengthen ties among the like-minded navies in the region.

President of the JMSDF Com-

mand and Staff College Rear Adm. Umio Otsuka welcomed officers to the course.

“I am very proud, as a Japanese naval officer, of being able to demonstrate the robust Japan-U.S. alliance on this occasion in launching together with the U.S. Navy a new event promoting multilateral regional cooperation amongst friendly navies,” Otsuka said.

Otsuka stressed that trust is the key for successful military operations.

The course includes lectures, discussions and practical sessions on hypothetical disaster relief operations caused by natural disasters.

Professors emphasized that officers will need to develop teamwork and work together to be successful in the course.

Representatives from both NWC and JMSDF Command and Staff College would like to see more countries in the Asia-Pacific region participate in the APNIC next year.

AN/SPY-6 Array delivered to Pacific Missile Range Facility From Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems KAUAI, HAWAII

The U.S. Navy installed a new AN/SPY-6 radar at the Advanced Radar Development Evaluation Laboratory (ARDEL) at the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) on June 6.

The delivery and installation of the AN/SPY-6 radar at ARDEL followed the successful completion of Near Field Range testing in Sudbury, Massachusetts, in late May, and marks the beginning of the Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) program’s next phase of execution that includes live test campaigns at PMRF – involving air and surface targets as well as Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) flight tests.

“Completion of Near Field Range testing and installation at ARDEL is a huge milestone for our AMDR team,” Capt. Seiko Okano said. “De-

livery of the radar, 13 months after System Critical Design Review, is a testament to the maturity of the design and a reflection of the team’s hard work. The Navy needs this capability today, and this keeps us on track to delivering this critical capability to the fleet.”

Preparations for the next phase of testing are underway, and near term efforts will focus on integration and checkout to support initial light-off in early July.

AN/SPY-6 is a single-face, new development IAMD radar, providing sensitivity for long range detection and engagement of advanced threats.

The Navy competitively awarded the Engineering and Manufacturing Development contract to Raytheon October 2013.

The AN/SPY-6 uses active electronically scanned array technologies with solid state transmit and receive amplifiers placed behind each

antenna element, which replace the waveguide tube amplifiers of legacy DDG-51 Class AN/SPY-1D(V) arrays. The digital architecture provides multi-beam capabilities to reduce anti-aircraft warfare surveillance frame times, while also improving radar performance in both harsh natural and manmade environments. AN/SPY-6 will provide the Navy with next generation IAMD capabilities and is currently planned for deployment on DDG-51 Flight III destroyers and interfaced with the AEGIS Advanced Capability Build (ACB 20) combat system.

Program Executive Office for Integrated Warfare Systems (IWS) is an affiliated Program Executive Office of the Naval Sea Systems Command.

IWS is responsible for spearheading surface ship and submarine combat technologies and systems, and for implementing Navy enterprise solutions across ship platforms.

NAVY ACCEPTS DELIVERY OF FUTURE USS MONTGOMERY From Program Executive Office Littoral Combat Ships Public Affairs MOBILE, ALA.

The Navy accepted delivery of future USS Montgomery (LCS 8) during a ceremony at the Austal USA shipyard, June 23.

Delivery marks the official transfer of Montgomery from the shipbuilder to the Navy. It is the final milestone prior to commissioning, which is planned for September 2016, in Mobile. Montgomery is the seventh littoral combat ship to be delivered to the Navy and the fourth of the Independence variant, which is noted for

its trimaran hull.

“Today marks a significant milestone in the life of the future USS Montgomery, an exceptional ship which will conduct anti-submarine, surface and mine countermeasures operations around the globe with ever increasing mission package capability,” Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program manager Capt. Tom Anderson said. “I look forward to seeing Montgomery join her sister ships in San Diego this fall and deploy next year.”

LCS is a modular, reconfigurable ship, with three types of mission packages including surface warfare, mine countermeasures, and anti-

submarine warfare. The LCS class consists of the Freedom variant and Independence variant – designed and built by two industry teams. The Freedom variant team is led by Lockheed Martin – for the odd-numbered hulls, e.g. LCS 1. The Independence variant team is led by Austal USA – for LCS 6 and follow-on even-numbered hulls.

The Program Executive Office Littoral Combat Ships is responsible for delivering and sustaining littoral mission capabilities to the fleet.

Delivering high-quality warfighting assets while balancing affordability and capability is key to supporting the nation’s maritime strategy.

| System provides information on gaining credentials NAVY COOL

Continued from B1 for credentialing application fees, exam fees, and annual maintenance fees. Nineteen enlisted ratings and collateral duties and 15 officer designators are mapped to more than 150 different civilian and federal maritime-related occupations.

“The licensing process for mariners is a Coast Guard program, and there are strict eligibility requirements that must be met,” Navy COOL Program Director Keith Boring said. “Our goal here at Navy COOL is to provide Sailors with a map to help bridge the gap between their Navy training and the Coast Guard’s requirements.”

By preparing while on active duty and earning required accreditations with the support of Navy COOL, including in some cases with funding, Sailors can be well positioned to transition into the merchant fleet. “‘Blueprint to Mariner’ provides Sailors with a crosswalk between their job and related jobs in the civilian sector,” Navy COOL Assistant Program Director Michael Talley said. “It’s there to help explain what you need to do to qualify for the different positions in the mariner community.”

Available on Navy COOL’s website, the “Blueprint to Mariner” guide discusses a maritime career and provides step-by-step credentialing processes and visual walkthroughs of where to find information and how to apply on the Navy COOL and Coast Guard websites. It also describes how the Maritime Administration predicts there

will not be enough qualified mariners to support sustained military sealift operations in the future, which has direct economic and national security implications.

With an anticipated need for 74,000 mariners over the next 10 years, certain Sailors have many of the skills and experiences that make them a good fit for the maritime industry.

“The [merchant] industry thinks the Navy would be a good resource for help,” Talley said. “However, even though Sailors may have some of the skill sets required, they would still need to earn the requisite Coast Guard’s licenses, and that’s what we’re trying to do here at Navy COOL.” “Blueprint to Mariner,” along with links to additional information on a maritime career following naval service, is available online at www. cool.navy.mil/usn/otr/otrblueprint.htm Navy COOL provides information about licenses and certifications applicable to all Navy ratings, offering resources and funding to help Sailors gain appropriate civilian desired, and in many cases required, credentials.

Navy COOL is located at the Center for Information Dominance (CID) based at Naval Air Station Pensacola Corry Station. CID delivers information warfare professionals to the Navy and joint services, enabling optimal performance of information warfare across the full spectrum of military operations.

SATELLITE | MUOS is an Internet

Protocol-based system Continued from B1 Program Office (PMW 146) Capt. Joe Kan said.

The MUOS-5 satellite is now in transit toward its geosynchronous orbit location, where it will then deploy its solar arrays and antennas.

“MUOS-5 will be transitioning over the next nine days to reach its test slot 22,000 miles above the earth in a geosynchronous orbit,” Principal Assistant Program Manager of MUOS Cmdr.

Jason Pratt said. “Once it has reached its location and deployed its arrays and antennas, on-orbit testing of the satellite will begin.”

MUOS is a system consisting of five satellites, four ground stations across the globe, a network management system and an integrated WCDMA waveform.

The first four MUOS satellites are already operational via their legacy payloads, providing UHF satellite communications (SATCOM) for the DOD and mitigating potential gaps in UHF communications capabilities. The system’s WCDMA capability, currently in its test and evaluation stage, employs ad-

vanced third-generation cellular technology adapted for military SATCOM. “Looking forward, we are continuing to focus efforts on transitioning to the WCDMA capability of MUOS,” Director of End-to-End System Integration Jarratt Mowery said. “The system first demonstrated WCDMA voice and data calls via the Army’s Manpack radios in 2013, and we’ve since conducted testing and training with each of the various service branches.

We’re excited to keep working with end-users to ultimately provide warfighters the ability to talk, text and share data around the world using the MUOS WCDMA system.”

The MUOS constellation and associated network will extend narrowband communications availability well past 2025.

The Navy’s Program Executive Office for Space Systems, located at the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command in San Diego, California, is responsible for the MUOS program. For more information, visit www.public.navy.mil /spawar/PEOSpaceSystems/.

“Weird Al” Yankovic keeps the Portsmouth fans laughing

By Jonathan McLarty Contributing Writer

“Weird Al” Yankovic visited the Portsmouth Pavilion for the return of his “Mandatory World Tour,” June 21. Yankovic is continuing his tour around the world in support of his most recent album “Mandatory Fun,” that was released in 2014. The latest generation of “Weird Al” fans have propelled his music to heights that had not been achieved with previous releases. When “Mandatory Fun” became available for sale in 2014, it reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard listings that week; a first for Yankovic.

Yankovic, whose career in musical comedy is nearing the 40-year mark, has created numerous hit songs over the years. Serving as parodies to pop music mega hits, Yankovic is responsible for such songs as “Eat It” from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It,” “Word Crimes” from Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” and “Amish Paradise” from Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise.” Excited fans of all ages came out to the Portsmouth Pavilion to witness the event.

Many attendees wore hats made of aluminum foil; a reference to Yankovic’s song “Foil,” a parody of Lorde’s “Royals.”

Ever the consummate professional, the event began at the advertised time of 8 p.m. and featured a medley of “Weird Al” hits over the course of two hours. Al made his entrance through the crowd for the opening number “Tacky.” Numerous costume changes took place throughout the night, but there was never any down time for the attendees. While Al and the band stepped away

to change, funny video clips were played on stage from Al’s many appearances on TV shows over the years. Costumes that Al famously wore in his music videos, such as the fat suit for the Michael Jackson parody “Fat,” were all worn during the show.

During a rendition of “Wanna B Ur Lovr,” Al made his way through the crowd to woo some of the female attendees. Fans were treated to a special Star Wars themed encore that saw Al dress as Obi-Wan Kenobi, performing both “The Saga Begins” and “Yoda.” Behind Al was a row of Stormtroopers, Boba Fett, R2-D2, and Darth Vader. For those fans who purchased VIP tickets, a meet and greet took place after the show where you were got to meet the costumed characters while a remote controlled R2D2 rolled around the room.

Anytime “Weird Al” comes to town, I would recommend you check out the show. Even if you’re not familiar with his tunes beforehand, you’re bound to know the song that is being parodied. It’s hard not to get a kick out of how Al completely changes the narrative of the tune with his

Arts& Entertainment The BFG Steven Spielberg directed this adaptation of Roald Dahl’s beloved novel, which centers on the unlikely friendship between a lonely orphan named Sophie – Ruby Barnhill – and the titular “big friendly giant” – brought to life via a motion-capture performance from Mark Rylance. Together, the pair explore Giant Country and collect dreams; later, they try to warn the Queen of England – Penelope Wilton – about the threat posed by the other giants, who, unlike the vegetarian BFG, eat children for sustenance. The BFG made its world premiere at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, and is dedicated to the memory of screenwriter Melissa Mathison – who also wrote the script for Spielberg’s E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. Rebecca Hall, Bill Hader, Jemaine Clement, and Rafe Spall co-star.

The Legend of Tarzan Years after leaving the jungle and settling down with his wife Jane – Margot Robbie – in London, Tarzan – Alexander Skarsgård – is forced to return to the Congo in order to act as a trade representative for England. However, he soon clashes with a greedy Belgian captain – Christoph Waltz – who has sinister plans for his old home.

David Yates directed this adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic tales. Samuel L. Jackson, Djimon Hounsou, John Hurt, and Jim Broadbent co-star.

Stewart wrestles victory from Hamlin on road course at Sonoma

By Rick Minter Universal Uclick

Even the greatest of race drivers come to a point in their careers when the winning ends. For the soon-to-be retired Tony Stewart, that moment might have come Sunday at Sonoma Raceway, where he scored a dramatic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and for most of the race, unexpected â&#x20AC;&#x201D; victory.

For some, like Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip and Bill Elliott, the last victory came long before their final start.

Petty got his 200th and final Cup victory at Daytona in 1984, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run his last race until the end of 1992. Darrell Waltrip won for the 84th and final time in the 1992 Southern 500 at Darlington, but raced on without a win through the 2000 season. Bill Elliott got his 44th win at Rockingham in the fall of 2003, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run his final race until 2012.

Last year, Jeff Gordon ended his career on a winning note by scoring his 93rd and final victory at Martinsville Speedway just four weeks before he ran his final race.

Stewart, who wrestled Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win away from Denny Hamlin in a last-lap, fender-banging duel, now

can at least say he won a race in his final season, as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already announced his retirement from Sprint Cup. For most of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race, Stewart was a non-factor, running in the middle of the pack midway through the 110-lap affair. But a decision by his crew chief, Mike Bugarewicz, to pit just before the caution flag flew at Lap 88 allowed Stewart to leapfrog past the drivers ahead of him when they made their pit stops under the ensuing caution flag.

When the green was displayed to restart the race, Stewart was out front, ahead of Hamlin, who had led a race-high 33 laps up to that point.

With passing difficult on the road course at Sonoma, Stewart had the advantage and was able to keep Hamlin and other challengers, like Martin Truex Jr., at bay â&#x20AC;&#x201D; until the final two laps.

Stewart bobbled several times, most notably in Turn Seven on the final lap. That allowed Hamlin to motor by into the lead, but then he drove too hard into Turn 11, drifted to the outside and left the inside lane open. Stewart seized the moment, drove inside of Hamlin, pushed him aside and drove away to victory.

Even Hamlin seemed to appreciate the significance of a win by Stewart at this point in his career and after his recent struggles. He was among the first to congratulate Stewart.

This victory â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the 49th of his career â&#x20AC;&#x201D; allows Stewart, 45, to walk away with something to be happy about, after three disappointing seasons. In 2013, he missed the final 15 Cup races after breaking his leg in a sprint car crash. In 2014, his involvement in a sprint car incident that saw another driver fatally struck by Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car, led to Stewart missing three races and struggling to excel upon his return to the Cup circuit. This year, he missed the first eight races due to a back injury suffered in a nonracing incident.

Stewart said in his winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interview at Sonoma that if he never makes it back to Victory Lane again, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win another one, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

The victory allowed Stewart to close in on a berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Now that he has a race victory, all he needs to do is finish the 26-race regular season among the top 30 in the points standings. His win on Sunday moved him to 32nd place, just nine points out of 30th.

He said his biggest challenge in getting to 30th place is coming up Saturday night at Daytona International Speedway, where the style of racing created by restrictor plates on the engines can lead to pointskilling, multi-car crashes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daytona is going to be a big hurdle,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said.

Courtesy of NASCAR Tony Stewart found his way to Victory Lane in the Toyota/Save Mart 350 after a three-year dry spell, and said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be all right if this is his final career win.

cool to win the last one [at Sonoma],â&#x20AC;? Stewart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen again, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be all right if this is the last place I win one.â&#x20AC;?

Stewart said it was nice to be able to reward the crew members who have stuck by him through the hard times of the past few seasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My guys have been through this whole disastrous roller-coaster the last three or four years and never backed down,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never quit on me. There are days Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve quit on myself, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the guys that send you text messages and call you when you get home saying things like: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud for them, and it meant more for me to get it for them than for myself.â&#x20AC;?

Stewart also said that winning a race after a three-year dry spell has him motivated to go for more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lay down for anything,â&#x20AC;?
