The Navy recently released NAVADMIN 161/16 which covers the Navy’s financial literacy education implementation plan.

The U.S. Uniformed Services Blended Retirement System (BRS) takes effect Jan. 1, 2018, and gives Sailors a greater individual responsibility in securing their financial future.

The BRS will require Service Members to make financial decisions affecting their current readiness and long-term financial wellbeing. BRS is effective 1 January 2018 and service members eligible to opt-into BRS will have until 31 December 2018 to decide if they want to switch to the new plan. Everyone serving today can stay under the current system; however, those with fewer than 12 years of service as of 31 December 2017 will have an opportunity to opt-into the new retirement system. The training, education, and opt-in procedures regarding the new military retirement system, will be addressed in future NAVADMINs. The new plan offers a blended system of accounts and pensions that is set to replace the current traditional retirement system – which pays out only after a minimum of 20 years of service.

The Fleet and Family Readiness Centers (FFRC) of Hampton Roads plans to educate Sailors about these new changes by offering town hallstyle events, educational videos, leadership briefings, classroom sem-

Aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) Commanding Officer Capt. Ron Ravelo recognized four Sailors for earning the 2016 Navy and Marine Corps Association (NMA) Peer Leadership Award, July 18.

The awardees were: Food Services Leading Chief Petty Officer Senior Chief Culinary Specialist Stephen D. Wilson; Reactor Department Mechanical Assistant Lt. Sohn D. Mcgough; Administration Officer Lt. Cmdr. John C. Leitner; and Chief of Engineering Cmdr. Hannah A. Kriewaldt.

Recipients of the NMA Leadership Award are selected by their peers for exhibiting the highest levels of excellence in leadership.

“I’m still at a loss for words,” Wilson said. “I don’t come to work for the accolades or the pats on the back. When you know you’re putting in 110 percent, 110 percent of the time, and you

get an award like this, it just shows that your hard work is being recognized.”

NMA sponsors more than 400 awards annually for presentation by the commanders of Naval Air Forces, Naval Surface Forces, U.S. Marine Forces Atlantic and Pacific and the superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy to those officers and enlisted personnel who have been selected by their peers as outstanding leaders in their respective communities.

“I realized that I can’t do it all, but I understand that I can do more; and the things that I do, I can do well,” Wilson, referencing the mantra he teaches to his Sailors on a daily basis, said.

Leitner beamed with pride while talking about how his success is a direct reflection of the Sailors he leads.

“I always told myself that when I got in this position, I would do everything I could to make a positive impact on every Sailor,” Leitner said.

“Above all else, what this award symbolizes is the strength, courage and dedication it takes to be a great leader.”

NAVSTA Sailors volunteer at Norfolk’s Northside Middle School

By MC1 Leeanna Shipps Naval Station Norfolk Public Affairs NORFOLK

Sailors assigned to Naval Station Norfolk (NAVSTA) helped their local community by volunteering at Northside Middle School to help set up classrooms for the upcoming school year, July 12. “We have always had a good relationship with the military community,� Northside Middle School Principal Richard Fraley said. “Most of our students are from military families, so it means a lot to us when they volun-

teer. We are very happy to have them here.�

Northside Middle School is a public school, opened in 1956, educates more than 750 students per year in 55 classrooms. Northside serves students in grades 6, 7, and 8. “I volunteer at Northside Middle School to help out the community and the younger kids,� Air Traffic Controller 2nd Class Justin Grave said. “I have volunteered last year during a career day to talk about the Navy and some of the different rates it has to offer.�

Volunteering is meant to encourage Sailors to make a dif-

ference in the local community, to show the appreciation for the support that the local community has for the Navy. “My children could go to the school and I like doing anything to help the kids in the community,� Machinist’s Mate 1st Class Lamont Green said. “I volunteer as a coach for the public basketball league in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on the weekends, so when I have time to volunteer locally I take advantage of the opportunity.�

Green, assigned to NAVSTA Port Operations, has been in the Navy for more than 15 years and is a native of Bridge-

NMCP HOSTS “REAL TALK — NO RANK�

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

Real Talk – No Rank is an initiative geared toward empowering and increasing the strength among the ranks of women in the Navy. The program is tailored to women, without prejudice to rank, and is open to both military and civilian personnel. “Most everyone has a story. Some speak of success, some speak of tragedy, some speak of guilt,� coordinator of Real Talk – No Rank Master Chief Hospital Corpsman Marsha Burmeister said. “You may not have a story; you may not care to share your story. It doesn’t matter. Your voice is powerful.

The point is to join in on the conversation about the struggles, challenges and rewards of being a successful woman not just in the military, but in life as you live it.�

Retired Master Chief Hospital Corpsman Anna Sanzone, founder of Real Talk – No Rank said the sessions are not scripted, nor do they run by a detailed outline, but instead, the topics tend to derive from whatever the women want to talk about to include overcoming adversity, stigmas, controversy, and roadblocks – whether internal or external – all while building strength, relationships, raising selfesteem and empowering one another – and confidentiality during and after the sessions is key.

ton, New Jersey.

Some tasks the Sailors completed were placing more than 510 student desks and 20 teacher desks throughout 17 classrooms. By doing this takes a great burden off of Head of Maintenance Roderick Bridgers, who has served 30 years in the Norfolk School District. “If it weren’t for these volunteers, my staff and I would have had to set up all the classrooms ourselves,� Bridges said. “Because of these Sailors I can enjoy my vacation knowing that the school has been taken care of.�

“It is not focused primarily on [sexual assault and prevention] issues, the purpose of the session is to address the challenges, self-esteem issues, confidence, poor decision making and other underlying issues that can lead to incidents,� Burmeister said. “It’s about women supporting women by sharing their stories.�

The goal is to provide a relaxed forum for women to share their stories with others and receive direction to resources if needed and just be heard.

This also shows Sailors that there are senior enlisted that care about them and understand what they may be facing as we have all been there.

These sessions have been conducted since 2013. Real Talk – No Rank was founded by Sanzone and two of her coworkers: Master Chief Hospital Corpsman Marsha Burmeister and Senior Chief Yeoman Tanesha Wheeler.

Since 1954 the Jet Observer has been a staple at Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana. For our faithful readership, we regret to announce the final issue.

The decision to end this 62-year-old publication did not come easily. Over the years, the Jet Observer has seen many changes. Just over a year ago the paper transitioned from a weekly to bi-weekly publication. This past March, readers may have noticed the name suddenly change to “Oceana Observer.� Though there will be no “Jet� or “Oceana Observer� our NAS Oceana, Dam Neck Annex and Naval Auxiliary Landing Field Fentress news will still be in the stands. “The Jet Observer has been an iconic [Naval Air Station] Oceana news source that people could pick up on base and off. Like most print media around the country, it’s transitioning to more online content. The good news is that the print content is being transferred into The Flagship, which is produced in our region weekly,� Naval Air Station Oceana Commanding Officer Capt. Louis Schager said. “We’re excited to roll into The Flagship to continue telling the Oceana, Dam Neck, and [Naval Auxiliary Landing Field] Fentress-specific story.�

The Jet Observer, originally titled the “Oceana Jet Journal� has seen a world of change over its 62-year span. What started as a 4-page paper, featuring countless hand-drawn comics and a “Jet Journal Pin-Up� in each issue, has grown with the ages and become the prime resource for the NAS Oceana community to share and engage in the goings-on of our master jet base. “I remember arriving to [Naval Air Station] Oceana in 1993 as a student in the F-14 training squadron and paging through the paper in the ready-room, reading about the fleet squadrons,� Schager recalled. “The paper was a way to learn about their activities and their successes, especially squadrons on deployment. I also have fond memories of picking it up to learn about the community in and around Oceana and the support facilities, like what Fleet and Family or MWR was doing that week. Especially back then, before social media, it had an impact on me as a junior officer.�

Since 1992, the NAS Oceana Public Affairs team has worked with the exceptional publisher, designers, editors, photographers, journalists and friends at Military Newspapers of Virginia. We look forward to continuing our partnership in our cohesive goal of telling the Navy story.

Opening our hearts to all.

From the frail elderly to at-risk youth, from the homeless individual to the person with disabilities, and many others, Volunteers of America provides a continuum of services that uplifts the human spirit and helps those we serve rebuild lives.

7.28.2016 | The Flagship | www.flagshipnews.com | A3 An E-2C Hawkeye assigned to Early Warning Squadron 123, is hooked onto the catapult prior to taking off from the flight deck of aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69).

LIFE IN THE CATAPULT

MC3 J. Alexander Delgado

just a normal part of the daily routine.

“We wake up, check the catapults, and walk the spaces to make sure they’re good to go,” Machinist’s Mate 1st Class Mark Leinaar said. “We have watchstanders that stand watch 24 hours a day to make sure there is steam going to the catapults so we can launch the aircraft.”

Steam is taken from the reactor, which is then pressurized in an accumulator. In the accumulator – best described as a half-full water bottle – the pressurized steam that is held at 520 pounds per square inch heats the water and gets pushed into the launch valve, which acts as a spring to launch the jet.

The process of sending the steam from the reactors all the way up to the catapults is no easy feat, but the engineers have a well-trained and disciplined team.

The team’s hard work is matched only by their unwavering level of camaraderie.

“I really enjoy the people I work with,” Machinist’s Mate 3rd Class Arnelle Wardnurse said. “I love working with V-2 and with the Sailors in my shop. It wouldn’t be the same if we weren’t as close as we are.”

As Eisenhower carves its way in to the next area of operations, the catapult shop is well-equipped and prepared to handle their immense workload as a team.

“It’s the same thing the [commanding officer] always says,” McGehee said. “Take care of each other. As long as we take care of each other, everything will be fine.”

With a rumbling and clanking, a giant roar echoed through the ship, sending vibrations down through the hull. Like a sigh, the remaining steam crept up through the catapult troughs, wafting and dissipating in the humid air above.

An aircraft had just been launched off the flight deck thanks to the engineers of USS Dwight D. Eisenhower’s (CVN 69) catapult shop.

Machinist’s mates who work in the catapult shop endure long hours and exhausting conditions to ensure every aircraft is launched safely and effectively. On the surface of the flight deck, temperatures can easily soar to well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. About 20 feet below the baking steel, in the twists and turns of the machinery that drives the catapults, is where they perform their work.

“You learn to love it,” Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class Tommy McGehee said. “Knowing that every jet that launched safely and securely was because of the Sailors in my shop and the aviation boatswain’s mates (equipment) in arresting gear is a great feeling of accomplishment.”

For the tight-knit group of about 10 people who work in Eisenhower’s Cat Shop, grease and sweat is

Coastal Riverine Squadron 2 returns from deployment From Coastal Riverine Squadron 2 Public Affairs HAMPTON

Sailors assigned to Coastal Riverine Squadron (CRS) 2, based out of Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, returned home July 19, following a six-month deployment supporting operations across four areas of responsibility.

“I am truly proud of each and every Sailor at CRS 2 and of their many accomplishments during our deployment,” CRS-2 Commanding Officer Cmdr. Samuel Davis said. “Their strength, dedication to the mission and sincere care for one another demonstrated in this dynamic and arduous operating environment is a testament to their keen abilities and resolve. I am deeply grateful for the enduring support we all received from family and friends throughout our deployment.”

Master-at-Arms 1st Class Jeffrey Allen Crook, one of the new fathers, greeted his six-week old son upon returning from deployment.

“Absolutely a blessing,” Crook, who was also welcomed home by his extended family, said.

CRS-2 Ombudsman Kimberly Essenburg and CRS-2 Family Readiness Group President Rebecca Hamilton were on hand to welcome the returning Sailors back to Virginia and discussed the joy of homecomings.

During the deployment, the over 350 Sailors completed a variety of missions to include dynamic and static seaward security for high value assets, landward security, aircraft security and maritime domain awareness operations. Additionally, Sailors conducted unmanned aerial vehicle operations and interoperability training with adjacent forces during their deployment.

CRS-2 supported operations in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, including the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. In addition, the Sailors of CRS-2 provided force protection and participated in International Mine Countermeasures Exercise and Eager Lion 2016 in Aqaba, Jordan.

Additionally, CRS-2 Sailors supported operations in U.S. European Command and U.S. Africa Command areas of responsibility while operating out of Rota, Spain, and conducted security missions in Panama in support of U.S. Southern Command.

CRS-2 is part of the Coastal Riverine Force (CRF), which operates in harbors, rivers, bays, across the littorals and ashore. The primary mission of the CRF is to conduct maritime security operations across all phases of military operations by defending high value assets, critical maritime infrastructure, ports and harbors both inland and on coastal waterways against enemies, and when commanded conduct offensive combat operations.

The CRF is comprised of units manned, trained, and equipped to conduct port and harbor security, high-value asset security and escort, surveillance and reconnaissance, insertion and extraction of small units and command and control for supporting assigned units.

The CRF is capable of conducting 24-hour operations in all weather conditions and climates.

BravoZulu CNATTU Oceana recognized as NAS Oceana Energy Challenge winner

By AT1 Quinnton Lawson Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit Oceana Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH

The Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit (CNATTU) Oceana was named the winner of a Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana-sponsored six-month energy conservation contest, July 7.

The contest was designed to motivate service members and their families working and living on base to practice energy conservation, to facilitate end-user energy savings, to get involvement from top to deckplate leaders and to recognize the initiative, innovation and teamwork of the participating teams.

Naval Air Station Oceana Commanding Officer Capt. Louis Schager and Executive Officer Capt.

Richard Meadows presented a $50,000 check to CNATTU Oceana Commanding Officer Cmdr. Richard Grove and CNATTU energy conservation representatives.

The challenge every day was to review energy instructions; train multiple building monitors; customize and use a daily, monthly and quarterly energy checklist; develop an energy progress report and develop an energy baseline for command facilities.

“As a building monitor, my toughest challenge was changing the mindset and daily practices of not only my fellow instructors, but also to our junior Sailors so that they may carry with them the same energy conservation ideas out to the fleet,” Aviation Electronics Technician 1st Class James Allen said.

The CNATTU team which led

the command’s conservation efforts consisted of Chief Aviation Electronics Technician Charles Zimmerman, Allen, Aviation Structural Mechanic 1st Class Robert Welch, Aviation Electronics Technician 1st Class Timothy Centoze, Aviation Electrician’s Mate 1st Class Eddie Bradshaw, Aviation Electronics Technician 1st Class Matthew Mountcastle, and Aviation Electronics Technician 1st Class Kyle Neer.

“Our team had the initiative, drive, ingenuity, and creativity to bring this game-changing process of conserving energy to reality,” Zimmerman said.

With the first challenge complete, the second is already underway. In addition to the $50,000 award, CNATTU Oceana holds the Energy Challenge Award trophy which will be passed on to be displayed in each winning command’s building during their reign. CNATTU is also the first and only command listed on a plaque displayed at the NAS Oceana commanding officer’s quarterdeck.

A total of 21 teams participated in the challenge and their energy conservation was measured on a point-based system. CNATTU Oceana won the challenge with a score of 562 points.

CNATTU Oceana supports the Department of Defense by providing specialized technical training to aviation maintenance professionals for F/A-18 Hornets and automated test equipment in direct support of genuine and emerging fleet requirements.

CNATTU Oceana is part of the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training, which provides single site management for Navy and Marine Corps aviation technical training.

Navy Medicine East officer receives DON’s Financial Management, Comptroller Award

By MC2 Stephane Belcher Navy Medicine East Public Affairs PORTSMOUTH

Navy Medicine East (NME) Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) Department Head Lt. Cmdr. Jodi Phillips was honored, July 13, with the DON Financial Management and Comptroller Award for outstanding achievement in fiscal readiness and management.

“This award confirms what we already know, that Lt. Cmdr.

Phillips’ leadership and ongoing support to her team are critical in ensuring fiscal responsibility and good stewardship of taxpayer dollars,” Commander of NME Rear Adm. Kenneth J. Iverson said. “She has raised the bar of

expectation.”

The award recognized Phillips for her exceptional contributions to the region’s performance in financial improvement and audit readiness, and in preparing the NME FIAR team for the regional assessment that kicks off in fiscal year 2018.

Phillip’s efforts involved the testing of more than 200 financial transactions each month, improving performance in the financial processes as well as taking the lead in reimbursable work order compliance. In order to increase NME’s audit performance from 80 to 93 percent, she designed and implemented 153 corrective action plans. She also developed questionnaires and compiled data that is now

used by the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery and the Defense Health Agency (DHA).

As a result of her efforts, NME outperformed all other regional commands in DHA. Phillips has been invited to an awards ceremony at the Pentagon in August where Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Financial Management and Comptroller Susan Rabern will present the award.

NME oversees the delivery of medical, dental and other health care services to approximately 1 million patients across almost 100 facilities in six countries: U.S. – East and Gulf Coasts – Spain, Italy, Greece, Cuba and Bahrain. Additionally, its public health activities extend globally.

ATLANTIC OCEAN

When many Americans dream of experiencing something “exotic,� they often picture tropical climates, rain forests, and sandy beaches. For Brazilian navy Lt. Almir Fonseca, it’s just the opposite.

A native of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, Fonseca has dreamt of traveling to new places and experiencing new cultures since he was a child. Today, he is fulfilling his dream as he serves aboard the U.S. amphibious-transport dock USS San Antonio (LPD 17). “To me, this is a great honor,� Fonseca said. “It’s a chance to be involved in international operations and learn from a state-of-the-art Navy.�

Fonseca has been a member of San Antonio’s crew since June 2015, and he has two-year orders. It was a competitive assignment to obtain – one that Fonseca said he didn’t expect to get.

He is a participant in the U.S. Navy’s personnel exchange program (PEP), a program created to allow personnel to temporarily swap between U.S. military branches as well as partner nation militaries. The exchanges are a chance to share technical knowledge between participating nations and foster military-tomilitary relations. “If there was one challenge I had, it is the language,� Fonseca said. “But even that is not so much of a challenge. Since I was 11, I started studying English. I watched movies in English, sometimes with subtitles. I always wanted to travel to see other cultures and have more opportunities as a naval officer, so I need-

ed English.�

Foreign language training is a requirement for participation in PEP, as the exchanged service member must be able to communicate effectively with the host nation military they will integrate into. Although he hadn’t studied English since 2002, Fonseca picked it up again just before receiving his orders and communicates easily with the rest of San Antonio’s crew.

He is now integrated into the ship’s day-to-day operations, where his previous naval experience comes in handy. “There are some differences [between our navies], but they are also very similar,� Fonseca said. “We don’t have ships as big as this, but our procedures are almost the same. We operate the ships in the same way. Many of the names we have for things are the same, and many of the watches are the same.�

Fonseca joined the Brazilian navy in 1998, where he served on four ships,

spending four years patrolling the rivers of the Amazon rain forest.

Describing his role in the Brazilian navy, Fonseca said much of his time in the Amazon was devoted to providing assistance for small remote towns, villages and tribes, as well as providing border security.

In contrast, U.S. naval operations are far from being local, with the U.S. Coast Guard undertaking most border security efforts. However, the international mission of the U.S. Navy is virtually the same as Brazil’s – foster international relations, provide humanitarian assistance, keep international trade routes clear for global commerce, and provide security to allied nations.

This is Fonseca’s first time traveling to the 5th and 6th Fleet areas of responsbility. He said he looks forward to experiencing other cultures on the deployment, and to grow as a naval officer through knowledge and experience.

Naval Station Norfolk (NAVSTA) Navy Exchange Fleet Store held a grand reopening and ribbon cutting ceremony, July 8.

The Fleet Store is one of several outlying Navy Exchange (NEX) locations on NAVSTA and the ribbon cutting was held to celebrate their new and improved store. “The Fleet Store’s mission is to serve the sailors aboard ships while they are in home port,� Navy Exchange Complex General Manager Lisa Colvin said. “This store’s convenient location makes it easy for Sailors to purchase a variety of necessary items from snacks and drinks to uniform items.� “The district vice president and the chief merchandising and marketing officer came for a visit and we did a walk-through of the store�

Michael Butts, Fleet Store General Manager said. “There were Sailors sitting on the floor in the hallway with their electronics plugged into outlets using our free Wi-Fi. It was obvious we weren’t fulfilling our mission.�

The Fleet Store began its four-week renovation June 10. During this time the store remained open for business. “Our goal was to be finished with the project prior to the [Truman] Strike Group Homecoming,� Colvin said. “We received a lot of support from other stores, so we were able to execute at the local level and complete the project under budget and ahead of schedule.�

The newest features of the NEX Fleet Store include free Wi-Fi, power bar charging station and gaming consoles. Sailors can grab a seat and charge their devices, take advantage of the free Wi-Fi and unwind by playing interactive games on the Play Station 4S and Xbox One in moving theatre type seating.

Additionally, the store has expanded their selection of women’s and men’s active apparel, added an on-site barber and a Blimpie Sub Shop will be added in the fall.

Navy tests latest Aegis Weapon System Interoperability with Spanish navy From Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems ATLANTIC OCEAN

U.S. Department of Defense Blended Retirement System

RETIREMENT | See the graphic for more information Continued from A1 inars, and one-on-one counseling to all fleet and shore commands in the Hampton Roads area, ensuring the widest dissemination over the next two years.

“I think the big thing that we see is obviously people are going to have more options earlier in their career,” Fleet and Family Readiness Center (FFRC) Mid-Atlantic Education Training Supervisor Karen Melvin said.

The modernized plan is built to accumulate retirement savings regardless of time served through the addition of a 401(k) style investment option. This option combines automatic and matching contributions, giving Sailors a choice of making the Navy a career or leaving the service, while still securing an investment in their future.

“When you’re 18, nobody will ever tell you the power of time and money,” Melvin said. “This puts people in a better situation earlier in life. It also encourages people to invest now and not wait. Let’s start thinking about your future when you’re young as opposed to when you’re in your thirties and are like, ‘well I don’t know if I want to stay in the Navy for the rest of my life.’”

For the first time, Sailors with as little as three years of service would leave the Navy with some type of retirement benefits as opposed to the traditional all-or-nothing approach.

Broken down, the blended system has many appealing elements.

“With the new blended retirement system, one of the biggest highlights is that you’re going to be automatically

enrolled into TSP, and not only that, but for the first time the [Navy] is going to give matching funds. They’ve never done that in the past,” Melvin said.

New Sailors entering service will have 1 percent of their basic pay automatically withdrawn from their paycheck and deposited into a thrift savings plan (TSP) account after completing their first 60 days of service.

They will then have the option of adjusting the amount they contribute.

After reaching three years of service the Navy will begin matching a Sailor’s contribution up to 5 percent of their base pay, another first.

Money in the savings plan will not be available without tax penalties before age 59.5. In addition, any money contributed while in a tax-free zone will remain tax free as a Sailor begins to withdraw benefits. “[This plan] is really putting us on par with civilian organizations,” Melvin said. “So many civilian companies now automatically enroll their employees into a 401(k) on day one of work.

Investing means you’re not going to get your benefits until you’ve worked there for a certain amount of years, and this is the same, you’ve got to be there for at least three years.”

To curb a possible exodus of valuable mid-career leaders, the Navy will offer compensation incentives for those with 12 years of service electing to serve an additional four years, while still offering the promise of a healthy monthly lifetime annuity for those who chose to stay Navy until retirement.

The 20-year retirement pensions will

remain for all, but only at a reduced rate of 40 percent of a three year average of the Sailor’s base pay at retirement, compared to the 50 percent average currently offered.

Sailors who entered service after Jan. 1, 2006, with 12 years or less as of December 31, 2017 can choose to receive the traditional 20-year retirement pension or opt into the new 401(k)-style blended system.

Anyone enlisting after Jan. 1, 2018, will be automatically enrolled in the new blended system.

This means those who are midway through their career may have to wrestle with some tough financial decisions before 2018, but they’re not alone.

The FFSC’s doors are open to anyone looking to discuss their individualized plan with one of their highly trained personal financial management staff members.

“I think it’s really about weighing your options, how long you want to stay in, which is going to be financially better for you?” Melvin said. “You need to sit down and do the math, and we can help.”

FFRC already offers over 22 financial education courses for military members and their families, including money and credit management; strategies for car buying; and tips for developing a saving and investing plan.

SOLAR | Facility to be built at Naval Air Station Oceana Continued from A1 In exchange for the use of DON land, NAS Oceana will receive in-kind consideration in the form of electrical infrastructure upgrades. Dominion will build, own, operate and maintain the 21 MW DC facility for 37 years.

“Renewable energy projects, like the one at NAS Oceana and others throughout the Mid-Atlantic Region, are winwin-win collaborations. They’re good for the utility companies, good for our installations and good for the communities surrounding our installations,” Commander of Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Rear Adm. Jack Scorby Jr. said “These projects increase the energy security, energy diversity and energy resiliency of our bases.

Energy security, or having assured access to reliable supplies of energy and the abil-

ity to protect and deliver sufficient energy to meet mission-essential requirements, is critical to our installations’ roles to support the Fleet.”

NAS Oceana’s Commanding Officer Capt. Louis J. Schager Jr. highlighted the value of this project for NAS Oceana and the local community. “We have a great relationship with the surrounding community and by hosting this facility we are helping to make the regional grid more diverse and, therefore, more resilient.

Bottom line, this project will advance our mission to support the fleet while benefitting our Navy family as well as the community.”

“Our thanks to the Department of the Navy for their partnership on this important solar installation,” , Dominion Chairman, President and CEO Thomas F. Farrell II said. “This collaboration shares

common goals – investing in the growth of renewable energy and helping to make the military’s energy supply more secure.”

The project requires approval from the Virginia State Corporation Commission.

Dominion plans to submit that request this summer and anticipates the facility to be completed and operational in late 2017.

The Secretary of the Navy established a goal to bring one gigawatt of renewable energy into procurement by the end of 2015, which the DON surpassed by collaborating with industry to develop mutually beneficial energy resources.

The DON is exploring the next level of energy technology advances such as battery storage, electrification, fuel cells and microgrids to further enhance its energy security, operational capability, strategic flexibility and resource availability.

The U.S. Navy conducted a series of cooperative air defense test exercises with the Spanish navy that culminated in live-missile firing events using the latest Aegis Weapon System baseline, July 20-21.

The event was not only the first interoperability test of the latest Aegis Baseline 9.C1 with a foreign ship, but also the first combined Combat Systems Ship Qualification Trial with that country’s navy since 2007. Guidedmissile destroyer USS Arleigh Burke (DDG 51) and Spanish frigate Cristobol Colon (F 105) participated in the testing.

In addition to live-missile firing events, Tactical Data Link interoperability exercises were held, July 12-14.

“While our combat systems suites are slightly different, the way we operate and execute missions are quite similar,” Arleigh Burke Commanding Officer Cmdr.

Tom Myers said. “My crew and I are grateful for the opportunity to deepen our operational relationship with our Spanish allies and enhance interoperability initiatives between our two navies. The professionalism and proficiency of the Cristobol Coln crew was top notch and it was an honor to work with them.”

During the events, both ships combined with E-2 Hawkeye aircraft, shared a common tactical picture using the Aegis AN/SPY-1 radar and Tactical Data Links.

Arleigh Burke also demonstrated Aegis Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) and Area Defense (AD) detect-to-engage performance against a variety of subsonic anti-ship cruise missile targets.

“The complex, multi-participant interoperability testing between DDG 51, F 105, land based test sites, E-2C and E-2D aircraft as well as challenging IAMD and AD test scenarios demonstrate the impressive capability of the Aegis Combat System that is delivered to the hands of our Sailors,” Aegis Fleet Readiness Major Program Manager Capt. Todd Boehm said.

Spanish Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jaime Muñoz-Delgado and Minister of Defense Pedro Morenes were aboard Cristobal Colon during the live fire events.

“These international relationships form the backbone of a vibrant, interoperable naval power network,” Integrated Warfare Systems Program Executive Officer Rear Adm. Jon Hill said. “As we expand our combat capabilities, our allies look to us for leading edge technologies and battlespace advantage – and this enhances our distributed lethality network.”

The interoperability tests occurred two weeks after Arleigh Burke celebrated its 25th anniversary of service to the fleet as the Navy’s oldest guided-missile destroyer.

The exercises between Arleigh Burke and Cristobol Colon come less than one year after the fourth and final Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer arrived in Rota, Spain, as part of the forward-deployed naval force.

In September 2015, guided-missile destroyer USS Carney (DDG 64) joined guided-missile destroyers USS Donald Cook (DDG 75), USS Ross (DDG 71), and USS Porter (DDG 78) to maximize the ships’ operational flexibility for missions in the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. The Aegis Weapon System is a centralized, automated, command-and-control weapons control system that was designed as a total weapon system from detection to engagement. The heart of the system is the AN/SPY-1 radar, which is an advanced, automatic detect and track, multi-function phased-array radar. This high-powered radar is able to perform search, track, and missile guidance functions simultaneously with a track capacity of more than 100 targets.

BUSH | Ship to conduct sea trials Continued from A1 testing and evaluation will be successful and our crew is eager to return this great ship to operational service and get back in the fight.”

Sea trials will test ship equipment that supports surface operations, flight deck evolutions, deck seamanship and damage control readiness through various drills and system checks. This includes high-speed turns, aqueous film forming foam tests on the flight deck and hangar bays, anchor drop testing, and sea and anchor drills.

“The ship itself is an innovative piece of machinery, but it’s the Sailors that give it life,” Bush Command Master Chief Huben Phillips. “The many man-hours that went into PIA have brought us to this point. Now the crew will put those efforts to good use and begin the task of getting us back to our primary mission.”

Norfolk Naval Shipyard Commander Capt. Scott Brown said he truly appreciates the combined efforts supporting Bush’s planned incremental availability during the past year.

“It’s your efforts that have enabled us to deliver this national asset back to the fleet,” Brown said.

“The crew is chomping at the bit to get out of the yards and back into the operational environment,” said Bush Navigator Cmdr. Marc Christino. “You can see it walking around the ship. There is an excitement in the air about getting back to sea.”

The end of sea trials will mark Bush’s successful completion of PIA and the crew will return to its homeport of Norfolk, Virginia, to enter its training and qualification cycle in preparation for a 2017 deployment.

Nimitz Sailor saves family from house fire

By MCSN Liana Nichols USS Nimitz Public Affairs BREMERTON, WASH.

A Sailor assigned to aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) was presented with the South Kitsap Fire and Rescue Certificate of Commendation, July 14, for acts of

heroism displayed, June 14.

Chief Machinist’s Mate (Nuclear) Richard A. Coleman rescued three Port Orchard, Washington, residents from a burning home and transported them to a local hospital for care.

Coleman saw an eerie glow coming from behind a residential home

while on his way home from the airport. Upon further review Coleman discovered the backside of the house was on fire. He ran around to the front of the house and his instincts took over from there.

“I was curious to go see what that light over the bridge was, and it turns out that my curiosity was

useful,” Coleman said.

His quick actions allowed him to notify the homeowners and gave them time to escape the building.

“There were no working smoke detectors,” South Kitsap Fire and Rescue Deputy Chief Guy Dalrymple said. “He saved three lives by getting to these folks.”

WASHINGTON

As part of ongoing efforts to enhance the professional growth of leaders in the Navy, Marine Corps and Department of the Navy (DON) civilian workforce, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus recently directed the development of policies and procedures for the implementation of a Full and Inclusive Review (FAIR) program.

Core to the FAIR program is the use of a multi-rater assessment, more commonly referred to as a 360-degree review, for all military and civilian supervisory personnel.

Government agencies and the private sector routinely use these types of assessments as a developmental tool to provide personnel with relevant feedback designed to help them evaluate and use their strengths while also dedicating attention and resources to skills they may need to improve.

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® named Operation Homefront as its new flagship nonprofit partner to support the organization’s mission of building strong, stable and secure military families.

The partnership was kicked off with a commitment to contribute donations valued at $100,000 to Operation Homefront over the next year. To rally Cracker Barrel guests around the new partnership, “Operation Rocker: Cracker Barrel’s Summer Salute to Military Families,” has been launched in order to furnish the front porches of military and veteran families with the iconic rocking chairs. In addition to the $100,000 commitment, the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Foundation also pledged a $100,000 donation to Operation Homefront.

Until Labor Day, Sept. 5, each purchase of an eligible adult rock-

er from Cracker Barrel’s website will donate an adult rocker to Operation Homefront. The rockers will support the organization’s “Homes on the Homefront” program that helps our nation’s heroes realize the American dream by placing deserving veterans and their families in mortgagefree homes, as well as Operation Homefront’s other initiatives.

Cracker Barrel will also offer this same opportunity for each eligible rocker cushion set purchased online during this time.

“Cracker Barrel is proud to serve the families of the men and women who serve our country,” Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Chief People Officer Beverly Carmichael said. “Kicking off this flagship partnership with Operation Homefront allows us to bring together our commitment to our nation’s military families with Operation Homefront’s mission of building strong military families. ‘Operation Rocker’ is an opportunity for our guests to express thanks to America’s ser-

vice members, veterans and their families by bringing part of the Cracker Barrel experience to their own front porch.”

Operation Homefront provides valuable programs designed to build strong, stable and secure military families and honor their patriotism and service to our country. By connecting the American giving community to military families through programs that address specific, short-term and critical assistance, long-term stability and recurring support needs they experience, Operation Homefront is able to help military families overcome many of the challenges inherent in military life.

“Our mission to build strong, stable and secure military families means working to ensure these amazing Americans always feel they have a place to call home,” Operation Homefront President and Chief Executive Officer retired Brig. Gen. John I. Pray Jr. said. “Our life-changing work is only made possible with the in-

The same as it ever was

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military spouse contributor

“You just don’t understand, Mom!” Anna bawled before slamming her bedroom door.

The theatrics would make one think that the galaxy was collapsing, but I had merely refused to allow Anna to sleep over at a girlfriend’s house because Anna’s boyfriend was staying there too.

I sighed heavily, slurped my now tepid coffee, and wondered if my 18-year-old remembered that science has actually proven that the Earth spins on an axis, and does not, in fact, revolve around her. But I knew better than to expect a teenager to imagine that she is anything less than the center of the known universe.

Back in the early 80s, I was a self-absorbed teen too, but countless mother-daughter talks have not convinced Anna that I had ever walked in her shoes.

To start, she is a world-traveling Navy brat, and I grew up in one small Western Pennsylvania town. Anna is stylish, and my favorite outfit in high school was an orange wool sweater with matching knee socks. She is long and lean, and I was short and chunky. It is true that Anna is smarter, more popular, more artistic, more beautiful, and vastly more fashionable than I ever was at her age, but we still share certain universal adolescent experiences.

I’ll admit that Anna’s generation is different than mine. Today’s kids spend a significant portion of their day staring into electronic devices, communicating wirelessly with their thumbs, taking digital photos of themselves, and guzzling the enormous deluge of 24/7 images and information on the web.

By contrast, I grew up without instant infor-

mation about my friends, because I only communicated with them in person or during calls from the rotary telephone in my bedroom.

And, the only electronic screen I looked into with any regularity was our family’s console television, which was usually broadcasting the six-o-clock news, “Magnum P.I.,” “Three’s Company,” or “Hill Street Blues.”

Regardless, when I was Anna’s age, I was also plagued by the injustices and insecurities of youth.

I’d lay on my mock-brass twin bed, ensconced in my Kliban Cat comforter, staring at

credible support of communityfocused partners like Cracker Barrel, and we’re grateful that they share our commitment to care for those who do so much to protect the freedoms we enjoy daily.”

the yellow walls. None of the billions of teenage girls who had lived before me had ever been through what I had been through. No one understood me.

The ordeal of puberty, the anxiety of social acceptance, the surge of hormone-fueled emotions, the awkwardness of adolescence – it was all so overwhelming. Surely, no one since the dawn of time had ever felt the same. In my underdeveloped frontal lobe, I thought the only way to solve all my problems was to somehow get a boyfriend. Or, lose ten pounds. And there was no one, except maybe my best friend, Patti Frankovich, and sometimes our golden retriever, Cinnamon, who could begin to understand my plight.

Especially not my parents.

I pressed play on my walkman, and as Culture Club, Duran Duran, Men at Work and Stray Cats washed over my teal-and-fuchsiaenamel-earrings and into my longing ears, I never felt so alone.

Although Anna already has a boyfriend and doesn’t need to lose ten pounds, she still feels that same teenage angst that I felt over three decades ago. I tell her about my own adolescent feelings, and the experiences of generations of teenage girls, so she will see that she is not, by any means, alone.

But for some reason, this only makes things worse.

I hope that Anna’s frustratingly existential mindset will compel her to ignore the bounds of previous experience and blaze her own trail, succeed in college, and do extraordinary things with her life that I could have never imagined.

And in the meantime, I’ll sit back, slurp my coffee, and watch the world spin slowly around her.

MC1 Nathan Laird Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson meets with Commander of the People’s Liberation Army-Navy (PLA-N) Adm. Wu Shengli at the PLA-N headquarters in Beijing.

CHIEFS OF US, CHINESE NAVIES AGREE ON NEED FOR COOPERATION From Chief of Naval Operations Public Affairs BEIJING

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson met with People’s Liberation Army-Navy (PLA-N) Commander Adm. Wu Shengli during professional and social events held July 18, at navy headquarters in Beijing.

The goal of the engagement was to improve mutual understanding and encourage professional interaction between the two navies.

“I appreciate the opportunity to visit China and to meet with Adm. Wu in person-there is no substitute for these types of face-to-face meetings,” Richardson said. “My goal is to forge a relationship built on frankness and cooperation. Given the responsibilities that our navies have, we must work together and speak candidly-when we agree as well as when we have differing opinions.”

“I am very happy to receive you here today,” Wu said.

“We attach great importance to your visit. Your visit to China, at our invitation, shows how both sides put great priority on maritime issues.”

The two leaders had frank and substantive conversations on the importance of operating safely, in accordance with international law; future opportunities for the two navies to engage; and the South China Sea. The visit, which has been in works for months, was Richardson’s first visit to China as the chief of naval operations and his first in-person meeting with Wu. Over the last year, the two admirals have held three discussions via video teleconference.

CNO visits Chinese North Sea Fleet; Underscores importance of international law From Chief of Naval Operations Public Affairs QINGDAO

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson visited Chinese North Sea Fleet headquarters, July 20, to meet with Fleet Commander Vice Adm. Yuan Yubai.

The goal of the five-day trip is to improve mutual understanding and encourage professional interaction between the two navies.

“This is an important time in a very important relationship,” Richardson said. “As growing nations and global powers, our two navies will play a pivotal role in the direction this relationship takes. We should take advantage of our common culture as Sailors to advocate for customs and laws that have served mariners and their nations for thousands of years, and in particular the last 70 years, where so many have greatly prospered.”

During the meeting with Yuan, Richardson underscored the importance of lawful and safe operations in the South China Sea and elsewhere professional navies operate. He also reiterated that U.S. forces will continue to sail, fly and operate wherever international law al-

lows – a point emphasized by U.S. officials during recent visits to Asia.

“The [United States] Navy will continue to conduct routine and lawful operations around the world, including in the South China Sea, in order to protect the rights, freedoms and lawful uses of sea and airspace guaranteed to all,” Richardson said. “This will not change.”

Richardson began the week in Beijing where he met with People’s Liberation Army-Navy Commander Adm. Wu Shengli and members of the Chinese naval staff.

“I am supportive of a continued and deepening navyto-navy relationship, but I will be continuously reassessing my support conditioned on continued safe and professional interactions at sea. In this area we must judge each other by our deeds and actions, not just by our words,” Richardson said.

The visit, which has been in work for months, was Richardson’s first visit to China and his first in-person meeting with Wu. Over the last year, the two admirals have held three discussions via video teleconference.

Sailors taking fall classes should start tuition assistance approval process now

By Ed Barker Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center Public Affairs PENSACOLA, FLA.

MC3 Nicholas A.

College in your future? Testing options expanded for SAT, ACT

By Ed Barker Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center Public Affairs PENSACOLA, FLA.

Service members planning to start their college education have a new option for taking admissions tests, including the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and the American College Test (ACT) Assessment Program.

New to the testing programs is a reimbursement option for members taking the ACT/SAT at off-base locations, including local high schools or colleges.

Service members will pay for the offbase tests upfront when they register, and will be reimbursed by the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) after the fact.

“The reimbursement option gives our Sailors the ability to arrange SAT and ACT testing at off-base locations that fit their personal and professional schedules,” Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center’s Voluntary Education Program Director Ernest D’Antonio said.

ACT and SAT testing through the new DANTES reimbursement program is now the Navy’s primary means for Sailors stationed in CONUS to take these exams.

On-base testing at DANTES-authorized testing sites, such as Navy College Offices outside the continental U.S., is funded by directly by the Department of Defense and does not require student payment.

Other tests eligible for reimbursement through DANTES include a single GED, GMAT, GRE General, GRE Subject, Praxis Core – formerly Praxis I – and Praxis Subject Assessment – including the Principles of Learning and Teaching – and two ACTs and two SATs during a service member’s career.

For reimbursement of testing fees, the

Navy College offices are located at 36 installations around the world and advise service members how to complete their high school diploma, work on technical or occupational certificates or earn a college degree.

“Electronic Reimbursement Form” is located on the DANTES website www. dantes.doded.mil/. Service members should select Examinations, Reimbursement Eligibility, then read the instructions and click on the “Electronic Reimbursement Form.” A valid Uniformed Services Common Access Card is required to access the Online Reimbursement Center.

Service members are required to upload both their official score report and payment receipt with all reimbursement requests in order to receive approval.

Sailors planning to take college courses this fall using Tuition Assistance (TA) should submit their requests as soon as possible, so they may be reviewed and approved before classes start.

According to Naval Education and Training Professional Development Technology Center’s Voluntary Education (VOLED) Program Director Ernest D’Antonio the number one reason for problems with TA requests is late applications.

“Summer is a historically slow time in terms of receiving and processing TA requests,” D’Antonio said. “Sailors who get a head start on their applications have the best chance of having their requests approved. Service members are required to obtain approval for TA funding before the official start of a course.”

D’Antionio added TA approval is a multi-step process, and if there is a problem, the request gets held-up until the Virtual Education Center (VEC) staff can troubleshoot and fix it.

“It’s crucial for commands to make sure that their Sailors know to start the process early, so that TA applications

can be completed by the VEC in advance of the deadline,” D’Antonio said. “We are currently authorizing TA requests based on term start dates.”

VEC Supervisor Susan Sutter noted TA applications are funded on a first-come, first-served basis.

“There’s no risk in applying early; we can modify or cancel the TA voucher after the fact if necessary with no harm to the Sailor,” Sutter said. “But if TA requests are received by the VOLED team on or after the class begins, the TA requests will be denied in accordance with policy guidelines – putting Sailors in a potentially tough financial situation if the course is not dropped. That’s why early TA submission, coupled with a well-defined education and degree plan is strongly recommended.”

Sutter detailed the required steps that must be taken for a TA request to be approved; Sailors must: 1) Be counseled by their local Navy College Office or the VEC 2) Complete WebTA training 3) Have an education and degree plan on file – with the course that the Sailor is requesting TA for included in the plan 4) Receive command ap-

did you know?

Sailors working on a college degree should ensure their school’s accreditation type supports their educational and professional goals. Navy Tuition Assistance pays for one associate through master’s degree and only pays if a degree at a particular level wasn’t already earned using personal funds. proval on their TA request “Sailors also must have completed at least 12 months on board their first permanent duty station, have no missing grades, not owe the Navy any funds for incomplete or failed courses, and have an end-of-obligated service date after the course ends,” Sutter added.

Both D’Antonio and Sutter also stressed Sailors should monitor their information and status through the MyEducation portal on the Navy College website to ensure their accounts are posted and accurate, and their degree plans are current. The MyEducation portal is available 24/7.

UPDATE YOUR INFORMATION IN NSIPS

By Gene H. Hughes Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs MILLINGTON, TENN.

Navy Personnel Command (NPC) is always working to provide better customer service to Sailors. There are times when Sailors need important news and information while on temporary duty, leave, or between duty stations.

To avoid delays during these times, it’s important for Sailors to have their accurate work and home email address and phone numbers updated in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS).

“Sailors need to make sure all their addresses are correct,” Personnel Support Detachment Memphis, Tennessee, employee Jerry Sides said.

“With many of the new self-service initiatives we’re rolling out in NSIPS, having an accurate email address on file is critical,” NPC Assistant Commander for Pay and Personnel Management Ann Stewart said. “That piece of information can provide the link that we need to get in touch with people about their pay or personnel support.

We are finding it very useful in helping people who have permanent change of station orders and are in the process of traveling from one duty station to the next.”

Update your personal email address and phone numbers in NSIPS to make sure you don’t miss critical information about your career or during times when you may be out of the official line of communications.

Father and son reunite at Information Warfare Training Command

By MC3 Taylor L. Jackson Center for Information Dominance Public Affairs PENSACOLA, FLA.

It’s not every day a Navy family gets the chance to cross paths in the fleet. For one father and son duo, this opportunity presented itself as the two information warfare (IW) community Sailors were brought together at Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) Corry Station, Florida.

Chief Warrant Officer 2 Willie WaldenBryan Sr. enlisted in the Navy in 1997 as an undesignated seaman. He later picked up the radioman rating which eventually became the information systems technician (IT) rating. Eighteen years later, his son Willie Walden-Bryan Jr. followed his father’s example and enlisted in the Navy as an IT. “When my son told me he was interested in the Navy, I recommended the IT rating to him because it provides a lot of useful skill sets on both the military and civilian sides,” Walden-Bryan Sr. said. “I wanted to make sure he was set up for success, but it also feels good to see him following in my footsteps.”

After his boot camp graduation, WaldenBryan Jr. reported to IWTC Corry Station in January to begin his IT training. He completed the IT “A” School a few months later

and, as he awaited orders to his first duty station, learned his father would be coming to Corry Station as well to attend the Information Professional (IP) Basic Course.

“It was pretty amazing finding out I was actually going to be attending the course in Pensacola,” Walden-Bryan Sr. said. “It’s rare that family members in the Navy are at the same command, and getting to be here at the same time as my son is a great feeling.”

Walden-Bryan Jr. said having his father around at the beginning of his naval career served as a reminder of his own goals and of the family tradition he carries on.

“I always looked up to my dad, and he’s a big reason for me joining the Navy,” Walden-Bryan Jr. said. “He always tells me to do the best I can, and I would like to one day reach the same level as him or maybe even farther.”

Walden-Bryan Sr. is expected to depart IWTC Corry Station and return to his permanent duty station at the conclusion of the IP Basic Course, and Walden-Bryan Jr. is currently awaiting orders to his first permanent duty station. He hopes to receive orders to the same area as his father. Both expressed how lucky they felt to be at the same command together as they achieved new milestones in their careers.

“I’m honored to have the opportunity to

be here with my son during his ‘A’ school time,” Walden-Bryan Sr. said. “As I’m completing my transition from enlisted to officer, he’s beginning his transition from civilian to Sailor and it’s so amazing for us to be able to be here at this moment.”

Information Warfare Training Corry Station provides a continuum of training to Navy and joint service personnel that pre-

pares them to conduct information warfare across the full spectrum of military operations.

Dambusters earn SECNAV Aviation Safety Award 2015

By MC3 Sara B. Sexton Commander Task Force 70 Public Affairs SOUTH CHINA SEA

The “Dambusters” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 195 were named the recipients of the Secretary of the Navy Aviation Safety Award for 2015, July 16.

The SECNAV Aviation Safety Award recognizes the Navy and Marine Corps commands that have demonstrated exceptional and sustained safety excellence.

“To put it simply, this year’s many accomplishments are a direct result of the hard work, determination and relentless pursuit of excellence demonstrated by the squadron’s most important strategic asset – our Sailors,” Commanding Officer of VFA195 Cmdr. Guy Snodgrass said.

The Dambusters executed more than 2,000 sorties, or take-offs and landings, and more than 4,000 mishap-free flight hours from seven locations including two aircraft carrier flight decks.

“The Dambusters have developed a culture of exceptional and sustained safety excellence that should be emulated by all naval aviation units,” Commander of Task Force 70 Rear Adm. John D. Alexander said.

VFA-195 is based at Naval Air Facility Atsugi, Japan, and is assigned to Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5.

The squadron regularly embarks aboard aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) during the ship’s routine patrols throughout the Indo-Asia-Pacific.

VFA-195 regularly participates with the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) in exercises to continue the interoperability between U.S. and Japanese forces.

VFA-195 is deployed in support of security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific.

Board members looked at Sailors who participated in community relations, furthered their education, or did things expected of someone at a higher pay grade when considering who to advance.

“Do what you got to do, always be on time and have a squared away uniform,” Ship’s Serviceman 2nd Class Steven Ivan Perez, one of the 28 Sailors who were advanced, said. “You have to get out there, get your collateral duties, get in touch with some sort of command association, do volunteer work.

SOLAR | Navy, State of

Hawaii, and Hawaiin Electric Company announced agreement Continued from B1

Lt. Lauren Spaziano Submarine Squadron (COMSUBRON) 15 Command Master Chief Steven Bosco waves from the sail of the squadron’s submarine float, manned by family members from COMSUBRON 15, during Guam’s 72nd Liberation Day Parade.

PARADE | Event celebrates Guam liberation from Japan Continued from B1 by a joint color guard – musically accompanied by the III Marine Expeditionary Force Band from Okinawa.

Joint Region Marianas Ombudsman and Assembly Chair Trisha Pair had a front row seat at the parade as she served as a judge for the float entries. Pair, whose husband serves aboard Los Angelesclass attack submarine USS Chicago (SSN 721), said it was her second year at the parade and was excited to see all the entries.

“I think it’s just fantastic; just the spirit of it is quite wonderful,” Pair said. “We’ve seen all the different armed forces represented and it’s awesome. I’m honored to be invited as a judge; it’s great and I definitely won’t forget it.”

Service members from every military branch marched in the parade and greeted parade-goers with various treats including candy, fans and a spritz of water from a minisubmarine from Submarine Squadron 15 to break the heat of the day.

“To see the military community out here I think shows unity,” Pair said. “It shows that we’re here to support Guam and it’s just awesome.”

Guam resident Leila Uong shared Pair’s sentiments, adding events like Liberation Day give a great opportunity for the military and local communities to interact.

“They’re here to show that they support us and it does show that unity,” Uong said.

“The show of military personnel in the parade is inspiring to all Guamanians.

From the young kids to our

retired veterans, we all have a military tie, so to see all the branches here in full force is wonderful.”

On July 21, 1944, Marines stormed the island’s beaches to recapture Guam from occupation under the hand of the Japanese Imperial Army. After weeks of fierce firefights, U.S. forces made their way to the northern part of the island where, on Aug. 10, 1944, the island was declared secure.

“To this end, we are partnering with organizations like Hawaiian Electric Company that can develop highquality solar facilities to achieve all of our goals. This project is the epitome of a win-win-win for the Department of the Navy, for Hawaiian Electric, and for the State of Hawaii.”

“The State of Hawaii is working toward 100 percent renewables powering the state,” Hawaii Governor David Y. Ige said. “Every additional renewable energy project helps move us closer to that goal. Together with the Department of the Navy and Hawaiian Electric, we have made another significant step forward today.”

“This project represents a significant step in our journey towards 100 percent renewable energy,” Hawaiian Electric President and CEO Alan M. Oshima said. “This is another example of the value of our partnership with Navy to strengthen our grid and provide energy security for our state.”

Pending approval from the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission, Hawaiian Electric will build, own, operate and maintain the solar facility at JBPHH. In exchange for the land needed for the project, JBPHH will receive in-kind consideration in the form of electrical infrastructure upgrades to Navy-owned base infrastructure. The renewable energy generated by the solar facility will feed into the island’s electric grid and will serve all customers on Oahu, including JBPHH. This event follows the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the DON and the state last month, coordinating goals and strengthening the partnership between both organizations in the pursuit of additional renewable energy in the state of Hawaii.

The Navy has always been a leader in energy innovation, and deployment of renewable energy on DON installations continues to strengthen the DON’s warfighting capabilities. The next step for the DON will be exploring the next level of energy technology advances such as battery storage, electrification, fuel cells and microgrids to further enhance the DON’s energy security, operational capability, strategic flexibility and resource availability.

NCMB 11 Seabees aid civilian during GoRuck fitness challenge Official file photo of a GoRuck fitness challenge event.

By Ensign Samantha Krulik Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 11 Public Affairs MOBILE, ALA.

Seabees assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 11, Detachment Echo, participated in a GoRuck fitness challenge course, July 16, where they acted quickly and decisively to aid in a medical emergency.

Ten Seabees of NMCB 11 participated in the GoRuck fitness challenge in Mobile, Alabama.

A GoRuck course involves hiking with weights over a 6-8 mile course, while performing competitive physical exercises with a focus on team building and leadership. The Seabees are committed to challenging and bettering themselves.

Two hours into the GoRuck event, Construction Mechanic 2nd Class Stacie De Vries witnessed

a 59-year old male collapse while doing bear crawls. Vries quickly rushed to his side, along with two other GoRuck participants to assess the situation. Upon reaching the man, Vries quickly determined he was not breathing and was suffering cardiac arrest. Within 10 seconds of him collapsing, Vries began cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and with the aid of the two others, continued to perform CPR. A 911 call was made for an ambulance and the team continued to continually assess the victim and constantly communicate between them to effectively provide aid.

Builder 2nd Class Patrick Udell monitored the man’s vital signs, and the team quickly identified the need for an automated external defibrillator (AED). Utilitiesman 3rd Class Kory Field volunteered to run to the nearest building to locate one.

Although the patient showed no signs of pulse or respiration, they provided emergency CPR to the victim for 15 minutes until paramedics from the City of Mobile Fire Department arrived. Due to the quick response, and the efforts of everyone rendering nonstop continuous aid the man was success-

| FAIR program to be used for assessment

Continued from B1 “Effective implementation of FAIR, and the feedback provided by these reviews, will hone the skills of our future leaders and foster continued growth and excellence in the execution of our mission,” Mabus said. “This program is a further example of our existing efforts to modernize our personnel processes and strengthen our Navy, Marine Corps and civilian leaders.”

FAIR implementation plans and policies for DON civilian supervisory personnel are

overseen by the office of the assistant secretary of the navy (manpower and reserve affairs), while the chief of naval operations and commandant of the marine corps will oversee the implementation of FAIR in their respective services.

The program is designed for use across the DON by personnel in positions of increasing scope of leadership and responsibility such as civilian supervisors, senior enlisted leaders or officers assigned as department heads or higher.

The feedback provided via

FAIR will address core leadership and innovation competencies and be discussed during a developmental discussion with a supervisor during which the reviewed leader’s plan for continued growth will be addressed.

The DON has already launched a dedicated portal site to provide information to and register civilian senior executives for 360 assessments.

Further development of policy and training for those who will be using the program is underway and continues through the end of 2016.

fully resuscitated in the hospital.

“They were calm, no one panicked and jumped right into action; they truly embodied the Seabee spirit,” Lt. j.g. John Salguero said.

Many of the Seabees rendering emergency care had never been in a situation similar to this, yet they were able to work together as a team to save a man’s life.

“I was amazed at their quickness to action and resilience,” Lt. Danika Globokar said. “I am proud of everything they did.”

Even with the Seabees quick action emergency care, the man passed away three days later while

surrounded by his family.

“I am comforted that our actions were able to keep him alive for his family and friends to say goodbye,” said De Vries.

While it is a tragedy a man lost his life, the prompt actions taken

by NMCB 11 Seabees are a true testament to the “Can Do” attitude and “Fighting Spirit” of Seabees around the world.

NMCB-11 is a Seabee battalion specializing in contingency construction, disaster response, and humanitarian assistance. The battalion’s homeport is in Gulfport, Mississippi.

HERO | Sailor saved residents from home,

transported them to hospital Continued from B1 “Your alertness and initiative helped save the lives of three people, but his compassion did not end there. You also provided them shelter from the elements and transported them to a local hospital for follow-up care in your personal vehicle.

Your quick actions on this day reflect great credit upon yourself, your family, and your command and have earned the appreciation of South Kitsap Fire and Rescue and its citizens.”

Even after receiving the award, Coleman remains humble about his actions.

“Whenever anyone asks, I tell them I’m not a hero,” Coleman said. “I just did what any other person would have done.

I know that what I did wasn’t heroic, but I helped. I, Richard Coleman, a nuclear machinist’s mate, assigned to USS Nimitz (CVN 68), helped. Any other person would have done the same thing as I did, but instead it was me. I was the one who was in the right place at the right time with the right sense of curiosity. I helped.”

Coleman’s actions reflect the Navy’s core values of honor, courage, and commitment, and he is determined to show those core values through his actions while in the Navy.

24 MORE THINGS TO ADD TO YOUR SUMMER OF FUN BUCKET LIST

Hyunsoo Leo Kim | Virginian-Pilot file photo The Sandler Center offers free tours on Tuesdays at 2 p.m.

By Robyn Sidersky The Virginian-Pilot

We promised 24 more bucket-list items to check out this summer in Virginia Beach, so here they are. We encourage you to try as many as possible before fall gets here. In case you missed it, here’s the first list of must-try experiences.

1. Summon your artistic side at The Mermaid Factory.

Surely you’ve noticed the colorful mermaids all over Norfolk or the dolphins throughout Virginia Beach. Now you can make your own. There are locations at the Oceanfront and Ghent. Call 963-7700 for the Oceanfront one.

2. Go see cute animals at Hunt Club Farm. They’ve got a petting farm, a new bird aviary and seasonal festivals. Call 427-9520.

3. Check out the dinosaurs in Jerrassic Park (not a typo) at the Military Aviation Museum. It’s at 1341 Princess Anne Road.

4. Watch jets take off – up close. We know a spot. It’s hard to explain, but it’s a gravel pull-off off Oceana Boulevard.

5. Scope out the Cape Henry Lighthouse. It’s on the Fort Story military base, near the North End, but it’s open to the public. It’s the oldest federally-funded one in the country.

6. Sneak off to False Cape State Park. It’s one of the few remaining undeveloped areas along the Atlantic Coast. It offers activities like kayaking, hiking, and bike trails, plus six miles of beach. You can’t get to it by car though – you have to go by foot, bicycle, beach transport, tram or boat. To make reservations on the beach transporter, call 800-9337275.

7. Visit an international news network. The Christian Broadcasting Network is right here in town and offers free tours Monday through Friday. You can even see a taping of “The 700 Club.” Call 226-2745.

8. Take surfing lessons. You can have a one-on-one lesson or do it in a group. Either way, you’ll learn a new skill. VB Surf Sessions offers workshops and camps, along with other water skills. Call 633-5330.

9. Go fishing at the 400-foot Sandbridge Pier at Little Island Park. You can rent a pole, and a license isn’t required.

10. Get a shot at the spotlight. The Sandler Center offers free tours at 2 p.m. every Tuesday, which includes behindthe-scenes views and even a view from the stage.

11. If you’re into cigars, check out the private secondfloor club, above Twist, in Town Center.

Courtesy of iFly Virginia Beach Cameron McMahan takes a 4-year-old on a “high flight,” which is when an instructor takes a customer toward the top of the 52-foot-tall flight chamber.

12. Go skydiving – indoors. iFly at the Oceanfront lets you feel the sensation of jumping out of a plane, without actually going up in one. You simply float on a column of air. It’s at 2412 Pacific Ave. 13. Pick peaches and visit Martin’s Vineyard on Knotts Island, just a short drive from Pungo. The winery is on an island, so you are guaranteed great views of the water. It’s at 213 Martin Farm Lane, Knotts Island, N.C. 14. There’s more to Pungo than the yearly Strawberry Festival. Head over to The Tar Roof, which hosts painting

nights, pop-up dinners and displays art and photography.

It is located at 1791 Princess Anne Road, and you can call 655-5005 15. Watch movies on the big screen at the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center. They’re shown every Saturday, and it’s cheaper if you’re a member. Call 385-3474.

16. Take a cooking class at New Earth Farm. Chefs will teach you how to use seasonal produce grown right at the farm. Call 536-6102.

17. Did you know there’s a restaurant at The Art Institute of Virginia Beach? It’s called CrAive and it’s open for lunch when classes are in session: Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. For reservations, call 493-6839.

18. If you’ve never been inside The Royal Chocolate in Town Center, be sure to pop in between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.

Monday through Thursday. All of the shop’s hot and frozen drinks (frozen hot chocolate, for example) are buy one get one free. It’s at 164 Central Park Ave. 19. Every Thursday night (through Sept. 8) at Neptune’s Park (at 31st Street and Atlantic Avenue) the Virginia Symphony Orchestra and Symphonicity will play free shows.

Symphony by the Sea is from 7:30 to 9 p.m.

20. Watch a movie at Mount Trashmore: On July 22, catch “Minions,” on Aug. 12, catch “Home” and on Aug. 26, catch “The Peanuts Movie.” Activities begin at 7 p.m. and the movies start at sunset. The park is at 310 Edwin Drive.

21. Belt out a tune at Wanna B’s Karaoke Club and Restaurant. During the week, you have to be 21 to get in, but on Sundays, it’s for those 18 and older. It’s at 2880 Virginia Beach Blvd.

22. Let your dog run free! The city has three dog parks where pups can run around off-leash. Red Wing Park is at 1398 General Booth Blvd., Bayville Farms Park is at 4132 First Court Road, and Woodstock Park is at 5709 Providence Road.

23. Get the best flounder sandwich in Hampton Roads (according to our taste-testers) at Chick’s Oyster Bar. It’s at 2143 Vista Circle.

24. Catch blue crabs at the Virginia Beach Fishing Pier.

It’s apparently a banner year for catching the critters, and you can take them home with you. It’s $10 for adults and $5 for kids younger than $12, but less if you just want to watch.

It could be the last season. The wooden pier is at 15th Street at the Oceanfront.

An event such as this brings Sailors and their families together.

“I am proud to be out here with all these Sailors and their families,” NAVSTA Norfolk Command Master Chief William Caraballo said. “To be able to run alongside everyone is a great opportunity.”

A diverse crowd participated in this event from Navy captains and midshipmen to master chiefs and seamen. Winning first place was Courtney Fullilove, 17, son of Master Chief MasterAt-Arms Aurelius Fullilove, with a time of 20:25.

Critical blood shortage: Red Cross urges blood and platelet donors to give now schedule an appointment To schedule an appointment to donate, use the free Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood. org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

News Release American Red Cross

While thousands of people from across the country responded to the emergency request for blood and platelet donations issued by the American Red Cross in early July, a critical blood shortage remains. The Red Cross urges eligible donors to give now to help ensure blood is available throughout the rest of the summer to meet patient needs.

At times, blood and platelets are being distributed to hospitals faster than donations are coming in, which impacts the ability to rebuild the blood supply. Right now, the Red Cross has less than a five-day blood supply on hand. The Red Cross strives to have a five-day supply at all times to meet the needs of patients every day and be prepared for emergencies that may require significant volumes of donated blood products “The Red Cross continues to have an emergency need for blood and platelet donors to give now and help save patient lives,” said Bernadette Jay of the Mid-Atlantic Blood Services Region. “We are grateful for those who have already stepped up this summer to give and want to remind those who are eligible that hospital patients are still counting on them to roll up a sleeve.”

Every two seconds In the U.S., every two seconds someone like Ray Poulin needs blood or platelets. Poulin’s liver and kidneys failed following a serious blood infection. The situation became urgent when his liver hemorrhaged. He was given a 10 percent chance of survival. After receiving 77 units of blood, Poulin defied the odds.

“There was a lot that went into saving my life, but if the blood wasn’t available when I needed it, I wouldn’t be here today,” Poulin said.

Blood and platelets are needed for many different reasons. Accident and burn victims, heart surgery patients, organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease may all need blood.

Does the prospect of moving have you buzzing with excitement? Or are you left with worries about packing and clutter? This moving season, an estimated 40 million Americans will move or relocate, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Moving is an exciting time, creating opportunities to start fresh and reinvent your life. But whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving by yourself or uprooting your entire family, moving presents a number of stress-causing challenges.

Staying organized and planning ahead will be your best armor against the moving blues. Ease your transition with some of these professional organization tips:

Make a plan Your calendar will be your best friend throughout the moving process. As soon as you know your moving date, schedule moving help and/or a truck rental. Then, block out time in your calendar for each step of the move, including packing, payment due dates and paperwork.

Schedule a day or several to walk through your home, opening every cabinet and drawer, to get rid of what you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need or use. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no sense in paying to move items you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want in your new home.

Clear the clutter

Relocating in 2016? 6 tips for a stress free move

Did you know that 91 percent of Americans say they have kept an item because they feel guilty getting rid of it? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of leftover gifts, family heirlooms, greeting cards and rarely worn clothing just lying around. And when you have a home filled with disorganized clutter, you can spend hours searching for misplaced items. A move is a great opportunity to go through that stuff and make the tough decisions about what to keep and what to toss.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re downsizing or staying at a smaller place midmove, you might need a temporary storage solution to keep some of your belongings. You can easily find and compare prices on storage units, as well as full-service storage services, at SpareFoot.com.

From cleaning supplies to boxes, to labels, packing tape and scissors, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to make sure you have all the tools you need. Set up a â&#x20AC;&#x153;moving stationâ&#x20AC;? somewhere in your current home where you store all your moving necessities. Be sure to select the right boxes for moving your different types of belongings. For example, you can find kitchen packing boxes that have double-wall construction which is better suited for breakables, like dishes, china, crystal and glassware.

Create a moving binder A three-ring binder is an organization staple for any area of your life. Store and file moving company brochures or business cards, important paperwork like leases or closing documents and use a pouch for holding pens and sticky notes. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re someone who likes to store everything digitally, use an organization app so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget any important information, photos, websites or notes about your move.

Pack like a pro Assign a color to each area or room of your home.

Use colored pens, tape and stickers so you can easily see your color code from across the room or from inside a moving truck. Label all sides of your boxes so you can easily see where a box belongs even when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all jumbled together. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hiring professional movers, this will help them know where each box should end up on moving day. Unpacking will be a breeze.

Prepare for moving day Leading up to your move, make sure to hydrate, rest and eat well. Take care of yourself so that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be completely ready to take on the tasks at hand. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to pack a survival box with the essentials you need for the first night in your new home. Toilet paper, sheets, towels, soap and a coffee pot are just a few of the items that you want to be sure you can easily access.

TIPS FOR CREATING A MULTIPURPOSE HOME OFFICE From Brandpoint

Courtesy of Brandpoint

Instead of turning that spare bedroom into a space strictly used for work, why not consider improvements that will help the room multitask? With a few smart upgrades, spaces such as attics, basements, spare bedrooms and other smaller areas can serve as multi-functional spaces for work, play, working out and socializing.

Good lighting is essential for any home office, but if you want to avoid

BEAUTIFUL HOMES, MODERN F LOOR PLANS, PERFECT LOCATIONS,

the institutional look of traditional office lights, consider increasing the amount of natural light that enters your multi-purpose office space. Adding Energy Star-qualified, solar-powered, fresh-air skylights, like those from Velux America, is a cost-effective way to bring natural light, as well as passive ventilation, into any home office space.

Solar-powered blinds in designer colors and patterns enhance the blended decor of a multi-use room, while allowing you to control the amount

of light entering the room with a programmable touchpad remote control.

Plus, a 30 percent federal tax credit is available to homeowners on solarpowered skylights, blinds and installation costs. Roof windows, which are very similar to skylights but are inreach and operated by had, are another popular option, especially in attics.

For home offices without direct roof access, a Sun Tunnel tubular skylight with an optional light kit can provide light 24/7. Visit www.whyskylights. com to learn more.

New Featherweight Champion crowned at GLORY 32 in Norfolk

By Jonathan McLarty Contributing Writer

The GLORY kickboxing organization returned to Virginia at the Ted Constant Convocation Center in Norfolk for GLORY 32. Fans in attendance got to witness the GLORY 32 main card presented on ESPN 2 and ESPN 3, as well as the GLORY Superfight series that preceded it on UFC Fight Pass.

The event featured several local fighters, all of which the raucous Norfolk crowd got behind.

In the Superfight series, Francois Ambang, from Mechanicsville, Va., defeated Michael Stevens by unanimous decision. On the main card, Brian Collette, from Virginia Beach, Va., defeated Myron Dennis by unanimous decision. When GLORY last visited Virginia, for GLORY 19 in Hampton, a special

armed forces bout took place. Virginia native Cedric Smith of the Air Force was victorious in that bout and was awarded the Spartyka Fight League GLORY belt.

Smith was able to retain his title at GLORY 32 by defeating Roger Corbin, of the Navy, by unanimous decision.

GLORY has instituted a Knockout of the Night bonus, as well as a Fighter of the Night bonus.

Each recipient earns $5,000 per bonus. At GLORY 32, Zinedine Hameur-Lain was chosen to be the recipient for both of these bonuses, adding an additional $10,000 to his paycheck. Hameur-Lain delivered a brutal knockout punch to Warren Thompson in the first 12 seconds of round one against Warren Thompson. Hameur-Lain would compete again later in the evening as he was participating in

Jonathan McLarty New GLORY Featherweight Champion Gabriel Varga.

the GLORY Light Heavyweight contender tournament. In his second bout of the evening, HameurLain defeated Ariel Machado by knockout to earn a future shot at the GLORY Light Heavyweight Title. His strong performance this evening did not leave any doubt as to who would earn that Fighter of the Night bonus.

Another popular knockout tactic at GLORY 32 was the liver kick, putting a stop to two of the Superfight Series bouts. Giga Chikadze defeated Chris Mauceri in the first

round with this maneuver, and Anderson Silva defeated Gordon Haupt in round one in that same fashion. These knockouts were impressive in their own right, but they were outshined by HameurLain’s quick KO later in the evening.

The GLORY 32 main event saw Gabriel Varga defeat Serhiy Adamchuk by unanimous decision for the GLORY Featherweight Title.

Opened up mid-way in round one by a head-butt from Adamchuk, Varga fought through the blood in

his eyes to secure the victory after five rounds. When discussing his victory over Adamchuk, Varga remarked “He’s an amazing fighter, and we’ve seen that. This is his first loss in GLORY and I’m very proud of myself to be the guy to give him his first loss.”

GLORY 33 will take place September 9, in New Jersey, headlined

by Rico Verhoeven defending his GLORY Heavyweight Title against Anderson “Braddock” Silva. For information about GLORY World Series, visit GloryKickboxing.com.

Other results from the evening: Funda Alkayis def. Vanessa de Waele via unanimous decision – GLORY Women’s Super Bantamweight tournament reserve match, Chi Lewis-Parry def. Maurice Green by KO in round two, Ariel Machado def. Pavel Zhuravlev by unanimous decision to advance to the Light Heavyweight Contender tournament final.

KYLE BUSCH SWEEPS WEEKEND EVENTS AT INDIANAPOLIS

By Rick Minter Universal Uclick

When aging champions retire, one of the obvious questions is who is going to fill their shoes.

After Sunday’s Combat Wounded Coalition 400 at Indianapolis, the answer to who will replace NASCAR icons Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon is pretty obvious.

While Stewart and Gordon were making their last starts at the Brickyard, 31-year-old Kyle Busch was putting on a performance that will earn him plenty of mention in the sport’s and that track’s history books.

Busch completely dominated the weekend at Indianapolis. He won both the Xfinity and Sprint Cup races for the second-straight year, only this year he also won the pole for both races. In doing so, Busch becomes the first driver in NASCAR history to sweep the Xfinity and Cup races and their poles in a

single weekend. He’s also the first Xfinity driver ever to score three wins a row on two occasions in a single season.

It will never be said that he conquered Indy in dramatic fashion.

“Dominant” would be the appropriate description. He led all but one lap of Saturday’s Xfinity race, then led 149 of the 170 circuits on Sunday, including the final 109, which included 10 laps of overtime. His 149 laps led was a track record.

Both wins came despite multiple late-race restarts in which his challengers had fresher tires.

The victories pushed Busch’s win total to 12 for the season – four in Cup, seven in Xfinity and another in the Camping World Truck Series.

And for his career, the reigning Sprint Cup champion now has 166 major NASCAR victories – 38 in Cup, 83 in Xfinity and 45 in trucks.

Based on the age at which most drivers retire, there are plenty more

to come as he still has another 15 years or so to be competitive, assuming he stays healthy.

Busch’s Cup crew chief, Adam Stevens, said in the winner’s interview at Indy that Busch’s success is a team effort and that Busch’s driving ability combined with his communication skills are a big part of that.

“At this level of motorsports and the competition level across the field, you can’t hit on one thing and beat people,” Stevens said. “You have to hit on everything. There are 550 employees at (Joe Gibbs Racing) to make sure we are working on everything that makes a race car go fast.

“At the end of the day, it comes down to the communication between the driver and the crew chief and the team and taking what he’s saying the car is doing and what it’s not doing and translating that into changes that make the car better.

“That’s Kyle’s strong suit.”

Busch said he realized during the pre-race practices at Indy that his No. 18 Toyota would be really fast, with the right adjustments.

“I just felt like the feel that I was getting, it kept getting more vivid to me of what I wanted to feel in the car going through the corners instead of just feeling numb and just making laps,” he said. “I could actually steer the car, and you could feel the front tires bite and do what they needed to do for you.

“When you get those sort of feelings as a driver, you’re just like, ‘Oh, yeah, that’s really nice.’

“You put all that to good use and keep talking to your crew chief about changes that make sense and do good things for you, and you keep going that direction. It was definitely during second practice on Friday that I knew we had a really good car.”

Busch’s latest win marked another strong outing for his Joe Gibbs Racing teammates. Although Carl

Edwards wrecked out of the race, he was a top-five contender all day.

Matt Kenseth finished second, with Denny Hamlin in fourth place. Martin Truex Jr., whose Furniture Row team uses JGR cars and technology, finished eighth. Jimmie Johnson in third place and Kyle Larson in fifth led the way for Chevrolet, while Joey Logano, in seventh place, was the highest-finishing Ford.

Now the Cup circuit heads to Pocono Raceway – a track very similar from a setup standpoint to Indy.

Busch has had fast cars there in the past, but the Tricky Triangle remains one of the two tracks left on the circuit where he’s never won a Cup race.

“Obviously, Pocono next week is a place I haven’t won at yet, so I would certainly like to check that box and get that one off the list, which only leaves Charlotte,” he said. “We’ll just focus on one thing at a time and look forward to next week.”
