Sewells Point Golf Course offers new way to traverse fairways

By Katisha Draughn-Fraguada NSA Hampton Roads Public Affairs NORFOLK

If you have passed by Sewells Point Golf Course off of Terminal Boulevard recently, you may have seen individuals zipping around the fairways on what may look like a segway on four wheels. But it’s not. It’s the new Golf Skate Caddy and its popularity has been gaining momentum.

“The Golf Skate Caddy is a stand-up golf cart for one rider designed to make your round of golf more fun and exciting to play,” Professional Golfers’ Association Golf Manager at Sewells Point Golf

Course Tom Dozier said.

The golf course at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Hampton Roads currently has four skate caddies that can be used by anyone who is interested in playing a round of golf and has a driver’s license.

“The caddies add an element of fun for younger golfers, as well as something new and interesting for lifelong golfers,” Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Director at NSA Hampton Roads Kelley Harkins said. “We hope that it might bring in new golfers who might see the sport as dated.

There is only one other course in the area that actually has the golf caddies, so we » See GOLF | A7

Three pilots assigned to Airborne Early Warning (VAW) Squadron 123 were awarded the Armed Forces’ Air Medal for valor aboard aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) following a flight deck mishap, March 18.

Lt. Cmdr. Thomas Browning, Lt. Cmdr.

Kellen Smith and Lt. Matthew Halliwell were presented the award for reacting in time to prevent the loss of an aircraft by maintaining positive control during the mishap.

The award is presented for heroic actions or meritorious service while participating in aerial flight.

“I’d like to thank the [Eisenhower] Strike Group family for their support and my fiancee back home, but most importantly I’d like to thank the folks who were there with me on that day,” Smith, aircraft commander that day and co-pilot of the E2-C Hawkeye at the time of the mishap, said. “It’s a good thing to award those who execute training and execute our procedures to a ‘T,’ so we can carry the lesson forward and pass it on to other crews.”

Smith described the events of March 18, a day that will stay with him for the rest of his life.

“We had clear skies and a smooth takeoff, and it seemed like another good day to fly,” Smith, who earlier that day had piloted the aircraft to complete his own arrested landing during the Eisenhower Strike Group Composite Training Unit Exercise, said. “We finished what we had to do in the air and were relieved to be landing back on board.”

With Halliwell in the pilot’s seat, the Hawkeye touched down on the flight deck and caught the wire. As they began to decelerate, the arresting cable snapped and they found themselves rolling ever closer to the edge of the landing area.

“It all happened in about eight seconds,” Smith said. “While we were decelerating we heard a loud snap. When we would normally be coming to a stop, we weren’t.

Our years of training kicked in and we reacted on instinct. I slapped back the ditching hatch – Hawkeyes do not have ejection seats – as we cleared the deck and began a deep settle [significant descent]. I would » See BRAVO ZULU | A7

By MC3 Michael Molina USS Wasp Public Affairs MEDITERRANEAN SEA

Sailors from the United Kingdom Royal navy trained alongside U.S. Navy Sailors and Marines on the flight deck of USS Wasp (LHD 1), beginning June 25. “Living with one another is good for integration, so when we work together, when we have your aircraft come to our flight decks, and vice versa, we’ll have a bit more awareness of how we each operate. It helps us work with you better on different platforms when we need to,�

Royal navy Chief Richard Clark said.

The Royal Navy sent six Sailors, from Navy Command Headquarters in Ports-

mouth, England, to integrate into Wasp’s flight deck operations to prepare them for their upcoming Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers. “This is the first group of guys who are not first classes. Some of them have never been on a ship before, so for the younger guys, it’s good for them to get experience,� Clark said.

Her Majesty Ship (HMS) Illustrious (R06) was the last carrier in British service before being decommissioned in 2014 and will soon be replaced by its advanced counterparts HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08) and HMS Prince of Wales (R09).

The Royal Navy stopped working with fixed wing aircraft in 2010, so the reintroduction of carriers in the British fleet

requires personnel who can safely run a flight deck. The two new carriers are expected to operate the short take-off and vertical landing variant of the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, with flight trials expecting to start in 2018.

Wasp is deployed with the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group to support maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of responsibility.

U.S. 6th Fleet, headquartered in Naples, Italy, conducts the full spectrum of joint and naval operations, often in concert with allied, joint and interagency partners, in order to advance U.S. national interests, and security and stability in Europe and Africa.

Sailors, Marines complete Corporal’s Course aboard USS Wasp

By MC3 Zhiwei Tan USS Wasp Public Affairs MEDITERRANEAN SEA

Two Sailors from the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1) graduated from the Marine Corps Corporal Leadership Course along with Marines from the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, Aug. 9.

The course, known as Corporal’s Course, is a professional military education program for Marines that

places an emphasis on basic leadership skills at the junior non-commissioned officer level. The intent is to prepare Marines to smoothly transition from subordinates to small unit leaders. “It teaches you how to lead people in the field. It also teaches you how to work with different personality types. It’s a good course, and I’ll take all the knowledge with me to the fleet,� Master-at-Arms 3rd Class Stephan Moore said.

During the two-week event, Sailors and Marines conducted physical training together and studied a variety of topics such as Marine Corps history, leadership, rank structure, and customs and courtesies. “It’s a good experience on how [Marines] teach leadership, and I’m learning skills to becoming a better leader,� Aviation Maintenance Administrationman 3rd Class Destin Thomas said.

The course will serve as a base-

line for the continued integration of Sailors and Marines throughout Wasp’s deployment. “We have a unique opportunity to do this. Integrating Navy personnel creates an open line of communication between the green and blue side. This way, they can work together to solve issues at the lowest level,� Marine Corps Corporal Leadership Course chief instructor Gunnery Sgt. Brian Downing said.

Wasp is currently deployed with

the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group in support of maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations.

ALL AVIATION ROADS LEAD BACK TO LINE SHACK

By MCSN Liam Antinori USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Public Affairs ARABIAN GULF

A squadron’s line shack consists primarily of airmen new to the squadron who begin with little or no on-the-job training.

Also known as plane captains, the line shack plays a key role in a squadron’s operational effectiveness, as they wear several hats throughout the launch and recovery process.

These Sailors are given a chance to interact with the aircraft at a basic level and learn its essential overall workings. By the time airmen join or choose a rating within the squadron, they ideally have a more comprehensive understanding of their aircraft.

“We get all the Sailors either new to the Navy or straight out of ‘A’ school,” Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 74 line shack

leading petty officer Aviation Ordnanceman 1st Class Joshua Malone said. “When they first get to the squadron, they go straight to line shack. Here is where new Sailors gain a knowledge base to start off with. By the time they leave the shop, they should have a general idea of how the aircraft works and how all the individual components work together. From there they can go on to specialize in certain areas of their rating or, if they are an undesignated airman, they can determine what area they are proficient in and follow that career path.”

Line shack Sailors run chocks and chains on the flight deck, perform daily checks (commonly called “dailies”) on aircraft and perform maintenance, all while working on essential qualifications.

“One of our main jobs is to preform dailies on the aircraft,

usually near the end of the day,” Aviation Structural Mechanic Airman Victor Rosario said.

“When the pilots come back, we essentially do a full inspection of the aircraft to check for any discrepancies.”

Line shack rotations are typically 12-18 months. Most of that time is spent trying to obtain plane captain qualifications and the last six months working as a plane captain.

“I’ve been with line shack for about a year and I’m advancing towards my plane captain qualification while really getting a feel for the aircraft,” Rosario said. “I also look forward to getting some in-rate qualifications as well. I’ve learned a lot about the different components in the aircraft and how all the ratings work together to make them fly.”

This entry-level heavy lifting is no doubt hard work, but plays a principal role in a carrier’s mission and the preparation of junior Sailors.

“These are probably the hardest-working, dirtiest guys in the squadron,” Malone said. “I’m proud to work with them, and am glad to see their skillsets improve every day.”

Aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) held a steel beach picnic on the ship’s flight deck and in the hangar bay as a respite for the hard-working crew following six consecutive weeks at sea, Aug. 6.

The steel beach picnic included grilled ribs, bratwurst, burgers, hot dogs, music and a multitude of games set up in the hangar bay.

Eisenhower’s Supply Department, S-2 division, also provided an assortment of sodas, cookies and other treats.

Volunteers came to hand out refreshments, man the grills and keep the ice stocked.

Eisenhower’s volunteers included the Chief Petty Officer Association, First Class Petty Officer Association and Second Class Petty Officer Association.

Sailors who made their way to Eisnehower’s hanger bay were given an opportunity to relax and enjoy the food, music and the company of their fellow shipmates.

“It was a good time,” Seaman Tunyia Clark said. “After being underway for such a long time it was really enjoyable to relax and enjoy some good food.”

“

Everybody was out and about and got a chance to relieve some stress and tension. It was a good break from the regular work days.”

-Aviation Boatswain’s Mate 3rd Class Skyler Halbeisen

Games such as basketball were set up by Eisenhower’s Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) team for the enjoyment of Sailors.

MWR also had a volunteer DJ playing music for steel beach participants to listen and dance to.

Sailors who left the hanger bay at the end of the day appeared satisfied with the food and time to relax.

“The food was great and the games in the hangar bay were a lot of fun,” Aviation Boatswain’s Mate 3rd Class Skyler Halbeisen said.

“Everybody was out and about and got a chance to relieve some stress and tension. It was a good break from the regular work days.”

IKE’S SECURITY TEAM STANDS THE WATCH

By MC3 Cole Keller USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Public Affairs ARABIAN GULF

As intimidating machines are loaded with weaponry and skilled pilots are sent to fly through some of the most dangerous areas of the world, it is important to remember the men and women who make their mission possible by keeping them and their maintainers safe before takeoff.

The Sailors of Security Department work diligently around the clock to ensure aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) is one of the safest places in the world.

The 88 security force personnel are charged with the responsibilities of keeping good order and discipline and ensuring more than 5,000 Sailors currently aboard Eisenhower are protected from a variety of possible threats. All security personnel have to go through weeks of training to understand and learn the proper levels of force to use in a given situation. They are taught the necessary restraints, learning to use the least amount of force possible to control a situation.

“I think our presence alone aboard the ship is a deterrent,” Chief Master-at-Arms Carly Bohannon said. “When they come out of training, they know how to stand

the watch. They’ve been tested over a series of events and have passed them by protecting the ship every time.”

Bohannon explained the presence of the ship’s security force is like that of local police officers. If you have security personnel present, the crew feels safer and better protected from someone who would want to commit a crime.

At the core of the ship’s security force are the masters-at-arms.

These law enforcement professionals are augmented by Sailors from other departments sent on temporary assigned duty (TAD) to Security Department. These TAD assignments often last for a year or more, but TAD personnel say they feel integrated into the force.

“I think we do our best to keep people safe,” Security Department TAD member Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Fuels) Airman Blane Davidson said. “We’ll be the first ones to walk around and correct people if they don’t shut hatches or keep water-tight integrity – things that affect the whole crew.”

The security force divides Eisenhower into zones to patrol, and it is through those patrols they keep order throughout the ship. When one of the patrolmen comes across a discrepancy, they have to address it.

“Sometimes people get out of hand; they get stressed out and we

need to know how to protect ourselves,” Davidson said. “Where some people have the leisure to walk away and report, we don’t.

We have to do something about the situation right then and there.”

After nearly 2 1/2 months of being underway, Sailors aboard Eisenhower get into a routine and may become complacent, forgetting military bearing or ignoring safety regulations.

“Since we’ve been out here so long, some people start to slip a little bit,” Master-at-Arms Seaman Justin Hastings said. “They start to not want to follow the rules just be-

To know what to do in a situation, security personnel go through training to help them understand how to handle a hostile situation.

Everyone who is on TAD to security has to go through Security Reactionary Force-Bravo (SRF-B) training. SRF-B teaches Sailors a variety of skills, such as how to use a baton and how to maintain control of an uncertain situation.

The visit provided the distinguished guests with a naval orientation that focused on carrier strike group (CSG) and naval aviation capabilities. “This is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the unique contribution the [Eisenhower]-Battle Axe team is making to our national defense and to showcase the professionalism of our Sailors,” Eisenhower’s Commanding Officer Capt.

During the visit, Votel took the opportunity to meet with Sailors and expressed appreciation for

NROTC midshipmen participate in sailing lessons at ODU

By MC3 Kameren Hodnett Navy Public Affairs Support Element NORFOLK

Midshipmen from around the country received sailing lessons at the Old Dominion University (ODU) Sailing Center, Aug. 7.

The event was part of a four-week summer training program Navy ROTC midshipmen attend after completing their first year in college.

“As future Navy officers, it’s important to understand the mechanics of the boats and how to handle them,” Midshipman 3rd Class Katie Lindsay said. “I love sailing because we are out on the open water, and there is a feeling of freedom. I love being in control of the sailboat and being able to maneuver it to wherever I want to go.”

The group of more than 100 future Sailors arrived at 8 a.m. and were split into groups for rotation between classroom training and hands-on practice. Lessons in the classroom taught the midshipmen tips and maneuvers applicable for the day’s training and in their future careers in the Navy.

“The most important sailing lesson is the wind,” ODU Sailing Center instructor Ethan Lounsbury said. “Figuring out wind direction along with every movement we make on the boat has to do with the wind. First you have to figure out exactly where that wind direction is, then you learn what to do with those sails in order to harness that wind to make your boat go.”

During the exercise, midshipmen navigated small sailboats in close quarters. After receiving instruction from the ODU crew, the midshipmen were able to keep the small fleet of sailboats on path.

“We learned to jib and tack, how to recover from capsizing, and how a sailboat works,” Midshipman 3rd Class Peter Herlihey said. “It’s important as a midshipman to learn these skills, because it brings us back to basics and moving forward toward bigger complicated machinery.”

Sailing is just one of the many exercises midshipmen will encounter during their time in the Naval ROTC program.

These experiences instill core values and the knowledge required to join the fleet.

“If the right lessons were not captured from the past or if the crew had not paid attention to them, they would not be here today. I am humbly grateful for their proven professionalism, resilience, and respect for the dangerous environment in which we find ourselves daily.”

Smith stressed as grateful as he and his crew mates were to have regained the air after coming so close to the water, he immediately began to think about those on the flight deck who may not have walked away unscathed.

“The flight back to Norfolk afterwards was long,” Smith said. “Once we realized the plane was fine, we started to think about the people back on the ship. [VAW 123 is] a tight-knit family and the pilots are close to our main-

Four months after that day, Halliwell has moved on to be an instructor for up-and-coming Hawkeye pilots. Smith and Browning are still flying with VAW 123.

Smith said there was never a doubt he would be behind the controls again.

MC1 Gary L. Johnson Medical Service Corps officers gathered on the front steps of historical Bldg. 1, at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth after concluding their annual symposium.

SYMPOSIUM | MSC celebrates 69th anniversary Continued from A1 NMCP Commanding Officer Capt. Christopher Culp welcomed MSC officers to the medical center and wished them a happy anniversary.

“We are the most diverse corps within Navy Medicine,” Director of Medical Service Corps Rear Adm. Anne Swap said.

There are 31 specialties within MSC. However, there are three main categories the specialties fall into – health care administration, health care scientists and health care clinicians. While discussing the state of the MSC, Swap noted health care administration now makes up 36 percent of the

corps, health care scientists include 24 percent, and health care clinicians now hold the largest spot with 40 percent.

Swap went on to discuss the number of billets the corps currently has along with the manning rate, loss rate, and the number of people within the corps.

NMCP Executive Officer Capt. Matthew Case spoke about high reliability organizations (HRO), and how MSC officers contribute to them. An HRO is defined as an organization which has succeeded in avoiding catastrophes in an environment where normal accidents can be expected due to risk factors and complexity.

“HRO is characterized by five key principles that facilitate both problem detection and problem management,” Case said. “Characteristics include preoccupation with failure, reluctance to simplify interpretations, sensitivity to operations, commitment to resilience, and deference to expertise.”

Case led a discussion asking the various specialties within the community how they each play a role in maintaining a HRO. Director of Strategic Operations Master Chief Hospital Corpsman Aaron VanDall spoke to guests about “Excellence and Integrity: Sailors’ Expectations of

MSC Officers.”

VanDall reminded officers of the importance of being visible on the deckplate, to be approachable to Sailors of all ranks, to provide mentorship, and understand and apply servant leadership.

Following keynote speakers, officers were able to participate in multiple break-out sessions specific to their area of expertise. The symposium concluded with a group photo on the front steps of historical Building 1 – the oldest, continuously-operating hospital since 1830.

GOLF | New way to travel the course Continued from A1 are hoping the novelty of them as well will draw golfers to our course.”

The caddies resemble a skateboard and a segway vehicle with the battery enduring 36 holes before it needs to be recharged. According to Dozier, the caddies speed up play by 50 percent, has minimal turf compaction, and keeps players moving at a faster pace.

Each Golf Skate Caddy comes with an easily readable instruction card, wide tires for control, shock absorbers for a comfortable ride and maneuverability, headlights and tail lights, a large detachable umbrella to protect from the rain and sun, convenient Universal Serial Bus port, comfortable seat, drink holder, ball and tee holder, divot repair container, and beverage cooler.

“They are fairly easy to use, but we do show all riders a training video and our staff member will give each new rider a brief demonstration on the proper use of the caddy to make their round

of golf more enjoyable before they go out on the course,” Dozier said.

Since they received the caddies, Dozier and his team at the golf course have seen quite a few riders who want to try something different and experience a new way to navigate throughout the course.

Site Director Kenny Pugh at NSA Hampton Roads-Portsmouth Annex, tried out a caddy for the first time and found the ride pleasant and interesting for a new rider.

“I got comfortable riding it after a few holes and then could focus on hitting the golf ball,” Pugh said. “The biggest surprise was how much I had to use my legs, feet and core muscles, especially during sharp turns. As I became more familiar with its operation, the ride was actually enjoyable.”

Currently, NSA Hampton Roads is the only installation in the Mid-Atlantic Region to use the Golf Skate Caddies.

Monterey hosts midshipmen

By MC2 William T. Jenkins USS Monterey Public Affairs ARABIAN GULF

Midshipmen from various Naval ROTC programs completed their 33rd day of underway training aboard guided-missile cruiser USS Monterey (CG 61) as part of a five-week summer training cruise, Aug. 10.

Midshipmen from the U.S. Naval Academy and other universities have been attending training all summer across the fleet on various ships, both deployed and stateside. Through the various stages of their schooling, they have been taught naval operations in subjects such as engineering, seamanship, weapons tactics and basic navigation.

The midshipmen aboard Monterey were paired with crew members, or running mates, who escort them during daily operations at sea. The intention is for the midshipmen to both shadow and learn from enlisted and officer running mates in all shipboard evolutions.

The midshipmen second and third class are experiencing their training through an enlisted perspective to get a deckplate view of life in the fleet. They live in an enlisted berthing, eat in the crew’s mess and participate in the same evolutions as other enlisted personnel, such as working parties during replenishments-at-sea, cleaning stations and observing routine maintenance.

“It has been an awesome experience out here,” Midshipman 3rd Class Joseph Minicucci said. “I got put into a really good, hands-on division that allows me to experience it all.”

During this cruise, Minicucci is shadowing Hull Technician 3rd Class Justin Snickers in the Repair Division. His experience has given him a better vantage point of enlisted life and operations outside his normal field of study.

“I can work with these guys and get dirty, sweaty and experience some jobs that aren’t really fun, but I believe are necessary to learn,” Minicucci said.

Just like Minicucci, other midshipmen have the same goals – to understand as much as possible about life aboard a Navy warship.

“This is my first time underway,” Midshipman 2nd Class Patrick Morin said. “I am spending a lot of time with the navigation office; I just finished a class on navigation, so it was awesome to see it in action.”

Morin went on to say it was interesting to see how the officer and enlisted communities interact.

“Seeing the role of a division officer firsthand was key to understanding what my future role would be,” Morin said. “Learning the leadership roles of the chief [petty officer] and division officer and how they go hand-in-hand was an eye-opener.”

Ensign Paulet Moreno, the midshipmen coordinator aboard Monterey, explained having past experience as a midshipman was vital to making the most of midshipmen training.

“I know and understand just how vital it is for these midshipmen to get this experience and be able to interact one-on-one with enlisted personnel,” Moreno said. “Not only can they understand what deployment is like, but this experience will help them become better leaders in the long run.”

At the end of their five weeks aboard Monterey, the midshipmen will return to their NROTC units with a new outlook on the Navy and experiences these future officers will take to future commands.

Monterey, deployed as part of the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group (CSG), is supporting maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility.

Eisenhower CSG is comprised of Carrier Strike Group 10 staff, Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 26 staff, Carrier Air Wing 3 staff and embarked squadrons, aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69), guided-missile cruisers USS San Jacinto (CG 56) and Monterey, and DESRON 26 guided-missile destroyers USS Stout (DDG 55), USS Roosevelt (DDG 80), USS Mason (DDG 87) and USS Nitze (DDG 94).

Children of fallen special operations service members participate in the Gold Star Teen Adventure Sailing Camp at Naval Station Newport.

The camp provided an opportunity for participants to learn to sail, bond and enhance healing, mentorship, development and opportunity.

GOLD STAR TEEN ADVENTURES TAKE THE HELM IN NEWPORT

MC2 Jess Lewis

By MC2 Jess Lewis Naval War College Public Affairs NEWPORT, R.I.

The Gold Star Teen Adventures (GSTA) came to Newport for their annual sailing adventure camp, Aug. 1-4.

GSTA was created to give teens who have lost a parent in the line of duty in the special operations field a chance to bond with each other in order to enhance healing, mentorship, development and opportunity. The program does not release the full names of the teens or the branch of service their parents served in to protect the teens’ privacy.

GSTA was inspired and created by Kent Solheim who was wounded in combat in Iraq in 2007, losing his right leg. During his difficult road to recovery, he came up with the idea for GSTA because of his two children. Solheim realized he would have wanted his children to know the bond and brotherhood of the special operations community if had he not made it back home.

Solheim was also able to experience emotional healing when he was able to spend time with other wounded service men who had faced similar traumas.

Summer is in full swing around the globe. From surfing the Pacific swells off the coast of Southern California to hiking across the lava flows of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii, Sailors have endless ways to enjoy the summer weather.

You most likely had a summer safety standdown right before Memorial Day weekend – we’re here to remind you that summer isn’t over yet.

Maybe you just returned from deployment, or recently moved to a new location or maybe you have finally bought that motorcycle you’ve always wanted.

Remember, no matter your age, rank or skill, all Sailors and Marines who ride must take the basic rider course. All sport bike riders must take the military sport bike rider course 60 days after completing the basic course.

In the months since the summer season started six Marines and four Sailors are no longer with us due motor vehicle-related accidents.

One of the leading causes of vehicle accidents is distracted driving. That text can wait and if you don’t have a hands-free headset or Bluetooth-compatible vehicle, safely pull over to use your phone.

YARD SALE BOOTY BLUES

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Contributor

“I’ll give you thirty bucks for all of it,” the man said in a heavy Rhode Island accent, gesturing to a table heaped with vintage toys from my childhood that I’d decided to sell at a recent neighborhood yard sale.

“Are you kidding me?!” I blurted incredulously.

“No way!” I continued, “I could get that much on Ebay for just the Dawn Dolls … and you want my Holly Hobby sewing machine, my Sunshine Family, my Barbies, and my Bionic Woman Doll … complete with the original box and accessories, too? What … are you nuts?”

A crowd of yard sale-ers stopped milling about my folding tables heaped with used junk to witness our banter. As the Rhode Island con artist did his best to swindle me out of the beloved toys that I’d refused to part with through nine military moves, I realized that my inside hoarder was getting the better of me.

It’s time to give up old things, I told myself.

But my inside hoarder resisted total surrender: “Gimme thirty-five at least!”

In the end, I settled for $32 and stood back as he callously threw my precious relics into his van. “Be careful!” I shouted pathetically, “You almost dropped the Bionic Woman’s Morse code translator!”

Two hours after our yard sale had ended, my husband, Francis, and I were headed to a Connecticut casino with a Ziplock baggie stuffed with $276 of yard sale booty, along with tickets to the Counting Crows/Rob Thomas concert that night.

“Make it rain, baby!” I yelled from the passenger’s seat of our minivan, jingling the baggie and envisioning a wild night of prime cuts of beef, top shelf cocktails, double-or-nothing winnings, and sweaty rock songs.

Mohegan Sun appeared quite suddenly in the Connecticut woods, and with our baggie securely stashed in my fanny pack, we found our way to the casino. I pictured us shouting excitedly over a crowded roulette wheel or muttering “Hit me” at a suspense-filled blackjack table, but we were lost in the indoor jungle of flashing lights, ringing bells and cigarette smoke. Overwhelmed, we found ourselves feeding bills into a lonely poker machine near the restrooms.

After five minutes, we cashed in our whopping $8 winnings and went to one of the many casino restaurants, where we shared a delicious stack of chicken and waffles drenched in Vermont maple syrup and sprinkled with crispy onion straws before heading to the concert.

Rob Thomas took the stage singing recognizable tunes such as “This Is How a Heart Breaks,” “Her Diamonds,” and “Someday.” We would normally leap to our feet at a concert, but we’d gotten up early for the yard sale, and we were both feeling full from dinner.

Besides, most of the crowd of 40-to-60-year-olds stayed seated too,

with the exception of a surprising number of women, whose peri-menopausal hormones were compelling them to gyrate their capri-ensconced hips quite enthusiastically. The women reached out longingly to Rob Thomas, and being a 40-something himself, he obliged with an excellent performance.

“Oh good grief,” I cringed halfway through the show, after Francis let a belch slip by that reeked of those crispy onion straws.

“Sorry,” he confessed, “do you have any Tums in that fanny pack?”

The next act was the one Francis had been waiting for. Back in the 90s, he played Counting Crows’ August and Everything After album a zillion times on our old CD player. “Time to get sweaty,” he said as lead singer Adam Duritz took the stage.

But soon it was clear that we were all getting a little too old for these late-night endeavors.

Duritz, now 52-years-old himself and endowed with an ample gut, loped around the stage as if he suffered from joint degeneration. We felt Duritz’s pain literally and figuratively, as we shifted in our seats to ward off hip numbness.

Although Duritz displayed his true artistry on the stage that night, the middle-aged crowd was not long for this world, fighting back yawns by ten o’clock.

“For criminy’s sake, Honey!” I winced on our way home after Francis expelled another pungent belch.

The strange combination of the day’s events had taught me that, getting rid of old things in life won’t stop the sands of time. Just like Francis’ crispy onion straws, the years will just keep on repeating.

Immunizations offer protection for all stages of life Press Release TRICARE

August is Immunization Awareness Month and is a great time to find out which vaccines you and your need to be protected at different ages and stages in life.

Immunization typically starts at birth. At 2 months old, infants start receiving a series of six primary immunizations that protect against disease.

These diseases can be spread in a variety of ways. Flu and other diseases spread through the air or on surfaces. Hepatitis B is spread through exposure to infectious blood or bodily fluids.

Rotavirus is spread when the virus is shed by an infected person and then enters another person’s mouth. Babies frequently use their mouths to

explore the world around them, so this vaccine is extremely important. For more information, visit the Rotavirus page on Health.mil.

Some vaccines require multiple doses for lifelong protection. These may start in infancy and continue in later stages of childhood. Toddlers and school-age children typically get immunized again for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR), Hepatitis A and chickenpox.

Recommendations for middle school aged and older kids include vaccines to enhance protection against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis, and protect against meningitis and human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a leading cause of cervical and other cancers.

More vaccines may be needed during adulthood based on factors like age, occupation, lifestyle, high-risk medical conditions, type and locations

of travel, and previous vaccine history. For older beneficiaries, vaccines are available and recommended to protect against pneumonia and other infections, as well as shingles, a very painful condition caused by the same virus as chickenpox.

TRICARE covers, at no cost, age-appropriate doses of vaccines as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). For more information visit the TRICARE website.

Through the expanded TRICARE pharmacy vaccine program, you may receive certain covered vaccines for zero copayment at participating network pharmacies. For more information, call Express Scripts at 1-877-363-1303 or search for participating pharmacies online.

John C. Stennis Strike Group returns to San Diego

By Lt. j.g. Emily Wilkin John C. Stennis Strike Group Public Affairs SAN DIEGO

More than 7,000 John C. Stennis Strike Group (JCSSG) Sailors returned to San Diego following a regularly scheduled seven-month deployment to the Indo¬Asia-Pacific region Aug 10.

JCSSG left for deployment on Jan 15 and operated in both U.S. 3rd and 7th Fleet areas of responsibility, including more than 60 days in the South China Sea. Commander of JCSSG Rear Adm. Marcus A. Hitchcock commended the Sailors on their recent deployment.

“I am proud of our Sailors and their dedication during the last seven months.

They performed admirably, excelling in both complex exercises and the often demanding maritime environment.

The success of our strike group was a team effort, the result of preparation, training and the truly exceptional Sailors who make up crews, squadrons and staffs. They demonstrated once again that the U.S. Navy can operate around the world, promoting maritime security alongside our international partners and friends,” Hitchcock said.

While underway, JCSSG worked alongside international partners, including exercises Balikatan, Komodo, Foal Eagle, Malabar and RIMPAC. International exercises provide units

from different countries with opportunities to share their experience and improve their ability to work together in the maritime environment. JCSSG also conducted dual carrier operations with the Ronald Reagan Strike Group off the coast of Japan, during which both aircraft carriers worked in concert with one another, conducting coordinated flight operations.

Ships from JCSSG made port calls to Fiji, Guam, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore and South Korea. These port visits provided Sailors the opportunity to interact and experience the culture of the countries they visited. Many Sailors volunteer alongside local groups in community service projects, while others took part in organized tours provided through the ships’ Moral, Welfare and Recreation programs.

Strike group ships sailed over 66,000 nautical miles over the course of their time underway. Its aircraft flew over 19,000 hours, with fixed wing aircraft launching and landing from the aircraft carrier’s catapults and recovery gear more than 8,500 times.

JCSSG consists of USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74), Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 9 and Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 21, and guided-missile cruiser USS Mobile Bay (CG 53).

DESRON 21’s ships which deployed with the strike group include

MOBILE BAY RETURNS TO SAN DIEGO

By MC2 Ryan J. Batchelder Carrier Strike Group THREE Public Affairs SAN DIEGO

The guided-missile cruiser USS Mobile Bay (CG 53) returned to its homeport of San Diego following a regularly scheduled seven-month deployment to the Indo¬Asia-Pacific, Aug. 11.

Mobile Bay left for deployment on Jan. 19 and carried out operations in both U.S. 3rd and 7th Fleet areas of responsibility, to include more than 60 days in the South China Sea. Mobile Bay Commanding Officer Capt.

Sean McLaren commended the Sailors on their recent deployment.

“Mobile Bay fully accomplished her mission as air defense commander for JCSSG,” McLaren said. “We safely and professionally operated in a variety of complex air defense environments including the South China Sea and the Korean theater. The strong tactical knowledge of the crew was the backbone to our warfighting readiness.”

MCSN Daniel Kelley Gas Turbine System Technician (Electrical) 3rd Class Caleb Harshbarger, assigned to guided-missile cruiser USS Mobile Bay (CG 53), greets his girlfriend, Anna Lam, with a kiss during a homecoming at Naval Base San Diego, California.

During deployment, Mobile Bay conducted 370 take-off and landings of aircraft, totaling more than 850 hours of flight time, received 564 pallets of stores, and took on more than 3.5 million gallons of fuel in 30 replenishments-at-sea.

“This is my fifth ship, and I saw many Sailors take on more responsibilities than their paygrade warranted,” Command Master Chief Lisa Thomas said. “Everyone had their head in the game, and it made it easy for me to do my job and focus on them as well as the bigger picture. The level this crew operates at made complex operations look effortless.”

During the recent deployment, Mobile Bay and JCSSG participated in many international exercises, including Balikatan, Komodo, Foal Eagle, Malabar and Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC).

“Mobile Bay was selected to independently represent JCSSG on two occasions.

Once in Mokpo, South Korea during our participation in Exercise Foal Eagle, and once in Sasebo, Japan during Exercise Malabar

America’s Navy comes home to Des Moines

By M. Dawn Scott Navy Office of Community Outreach MILLINGTON, TENN.

America’s Navy is coming home to Des Moines, Iowa. Des Moines Navy Week is scheduled for Aug. 15-21, to coincide with the Iowa State Fair.

Des Moines Navy Week is designed to give area residents an opportunity to learn about the Navy, its people and its importance to national security and prosperity.

“Des Moines Navy Week will be a fantastic opportunity to showcase the greatest fleet and Sailors in the world [to] further strengthen the connection between the citizens of Des Moines and their Navy,” mayor of Des Moines Franklin Cownie said. “We look forward to participating in this exciting event and appreciate the opportunity to bring the fleet to our city.”

Des Moines Navy Week will kick off at the Iowa State Fair during the Veterans’ Day Parade at 11 a.m., where Rear Adm. Margaret DeLuca “Peg” Klein, senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense for Military Professionalism, will receive a proclamation just prior to the parade to declare Navy Week in Des Moines.

“During Des Moines Navy Week we have approximately 70 outreach events that have been coordinated with corporate, civic, government, education, media, veterans, community service and diversity organizations in the city and surrounding areas,” lead planner of Des Moines Navy Week Lt. Cmdr.

Brett Dawson said. “During this week we will have Navy bands, divers, hometown Sailors, medical personnel, the Ceremonial Guard Drill Team and Navy recruiting assets all on hand to make this a great Navy Week.”

The local Navy Reserve and Navy Recruiting Sailors will participate in community service projects at Habitat for Humanity, the Food Bank of Iowa and there will be performances by Navy Band Great Lakes at The Veteran’s Community Hospital and the Iowa Veteran’s Home.

The band also has several performances scheduled throughout the week including concerts at the Science Center of Iowa, Iowa State Fair, local farmers markets and Cubs Stadium for a Iowa Cubs AAA baseball game.

“The goal for our musicians is to connect with the people of the great city of Des Moines both as Sailors and musicians,” director of Navy Band Great Lakes Lt. Geordie Kelly said.

“We have a unique job in the Navy and we look forward to telling the Navy story through our music during Navy Week events. Our talented Sailors are excited to be a part of Navy Week and part of the Navy team coming to Des Moines.”

Other events are the Navy presentations at the Walnut Creek and South Suburban YMCAs by several Navy assets on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. During these events, Navy divers will give demonstrations on their equipment, personnel and what it takes to become a Navy diver, as well

MC3 Justin R. DiNiro Sailors assigned to the Navy Band from Great Lakes, Ill., perform in the Old Post Office Plaza in St. Louis, Mo. as part of St. Louis Navy Week.

as displays from Navy Medicine and Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC). Divers will also provide displays Wednesday at the Science Center of Iowa and at the Blank Park Zoo for Navy Day at the Zoo Friday, Aug. 19.

The Iowa Cubs will host the Navy for Navy Night at Principal Park Saturday night, Aug. 20, beginning with Navy Band playing as the gates open at 5:30 p.m. and including several displays and performances from the Ceremonial Guard Drill Team, NHHC, local Sea Cadets, Navy Medicine and Navy divers and recruiting.

Des Moines Navy Week will wrap up at the Iowa State Fair with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Day Sunday, Aug. 21.

Also during the week at the State Fair there will be displays by Navy divers, STEM, recruiting, Navy Medicine, NHHC and more.

“As with all Navy Weeks, we hope to offer Des Moines an opportunity to see their Navy up close, learn more about the importance of the Navy and its mission, and improve on the already outstanding relationship between the community and the Navy,” Dawson said.

Historically, Navy Week events draw thousands of attendees to participate and create dialogue between Sailors and local residents.

2016,” McLaren said. “During RIMPAC, Mobile Bay was the air-defense commander for Combined Task Force (CTF) 170, and led the air-defense elements of Force Integration Training for ships from Australia, Canada, Chile, India, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and the Unites States.”

While underway, Mobile Bay made port calls to Guam, South Korea, Singapore, Philippines, Japan, and Hawaii, sailing more than 58,000 nautical miles.

“Even with a 24/7, high operational tempo throughout deployment, as exhausted as the crew was, we never lost our professionalism and we never lost our edge,” Thomas said.

McLaren echoed Thomas’ pride in the crew and looks forward to giving the crew a muchneeded respite from the tempo that comes with a deployment.

“While executing important missions for our country, Sailors learn to love the Navy while on deployment. At the same time, we learn how important strong family support is,” McLaren said.

TSC CSADD volunteers making a difference in forest preserves

By Brian Walsh Training Support Center Public Affairs GREAT LAKES, ILL.

Training Support Center’s (TSC) Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions (CSADD) are doing their part to help improve the environment.

Every Thursday a group of Sailors travel to the Independence Grove Forest Preserve in Libertyville, Illinois to maintain the forest and its natural beauty by clearing out invasive species of plants and replacing them with trees and plants native to northern Illinois. In addition to this, volunteers also help to maintain a community garden.

“We are very grateful that the Sailors come out to volunteer,” civilian volunteer Herman Weimer said. “I’m 80 years old, and we have other volunteers that are near 90.

At times, the work is hard to do by ourselves. Having these young folks out here is a real blessing.”

The volunteer Sailors are happy to help out and understand they are making a difference.

“It is busy work; we mulch and lay gravel to help plants grow,” president of TSC CSADD Electronics Technician Seaman Darrell Green said. “But it is worth it. I like making a difference and leaving a good environmental footprint.”

Sailors help to double the numbers of the total volunteer force. Not only does the work get done faster, but the forest preserve is beautifully shaped and cultivated for the enjoyment of anyone interested in the many activities the forest preserve provides.

“I think it is important for the kids to see that the environment is filled with different types of plants and trees and not just concrete,” community service coordinator for TSC CSADD Fire Controlman 3rd Class Alejandro Castillo said. “And, there is more to life than just staring a screen. They can go out to the forest preserves to explore and swim in the lake.”

Researchers develop therapeutic cocktail of environmental phages

By Doris Ryan Naval Medical Research Center Public Affairs SILVER SPRING, MD.

MC2 Gabriel S. Weber Navy Sailors make the ascent to the 12,388-foot summit of Mt. Fuji.

NCTS Far East Sailors, civilians test endurance on Mt. Fuji

By Lt. j.g. Duc H. Nguyen, U.S. Fleet Cyber Command/U.S. 10th Fleet Public Affairs YOKOSUKA, JAPAN

A small group of Sailors and civilians with U.S. Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station (NCTS) Far East climbed to the summit of Mt. Fuji, during a command team-building event to increase morale and esprit de corps.

Each year more than 300,000 people make the ascent to the top of the sacred mountain, and nearly all make the climb during the official climbing season of July and August. “I’ve waited 20 years for this opportunity to climb Fuji-san,� information technology specialist Jeffery Norman said, who works within the theater network operations and security center. “I’m super excited and can’t wait to make it to the summit.�

For the 27 personnel from NCTS Far East who participated in the climb, their day started early at 1:30 a.m. preparing for the mental and physical challenges ahead.

Mt. Fuji is an active volcano and one of Japan’s “Three Holy Mountains.� It is also the highest mountain in Japan extending 12,388 feet towards the sky.

Mt. Fuji has been named a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage site, a status earned in June 2013.

The climbers from NCTS Far East approached via the Yoshida Trail from Fuji-Subaru Line 5th Station. This trail is the most popular of the four available to the summit, and attract-

ed 136,587 hikers in summer 2015.

Yoshida initially offers a steady and flat incline to the 7th station where it quickly transitions to a steep and rocky climb the rest of the way to the summit.

Climbers can purchase walking sticks at the base station and earn special stamps that are branded onto the sticks to mark one’s accomplishment during the progression to the summit. “The stamps are a great incentive to climb further to the top of Fujisan,� Information Systems Technician 3rd Class Thomas Trujillo said. “I’ve made it my personal goal to collect every stamp to the top. I suppose you can say that some people climb for the stamps and Fuji-san just happens to be in the way.�

Located at the summit is a Shinto Shrine dedicated to Shinto goddess, Sengen-sama. For centuries many travelers have worshipped and offered up prayers upon reaching the summit.

Quickly becoming tradition is for travelers to enjoy a savory bowl of ramen and a few other delectable dishes at an eatery before they start their journey towards the base of the mountain.

The climbers dedicated their event to the Shinsen Children’s Home, a school and orphanage NCTS Far East has sponsored since 1998.

NCTS Far East, located in Yokosuka, Japan, provides communications and information technology services for U.S. 7th Fleet and supporting units, U.S. Naval Forces Japan, U.S Naval Forces Korea, Defense Information Systems Agency and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

In a proof-of-concept study, a team from the Naval Medical Research Center (NMRC), in collaboration with the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), reported success in combating an antibiotic-resistant infection in a laboratory model using bacteriophage therapy.

The results will be published in the October issue of the journal, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy.â&#x20AC;?

The paper, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personalized Therapeutic Cocktail of Wild Environmental Phages Rescues Mice From A. Baumannii Wound Infections,â&#x20AC;? is available online on the American Society for Microbiology website.

Acinetobacter baumannii is recognized as one of the most difficult antimicrobial-resistant gram-negative infections to treat. Combat-related injuries are at high risk for serious infections. Infections have occurred in up to 35 percent of service members who have had combat-related injuries during Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. Those infections are often very hard to treat because of multidrug antibiotic resistance in the bacteria present in the wound.

NMRC worked in collaboration with Navy medicineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overseas laboratories to collect phages from environmental sources around the world. Using the collection of phages, referred to as a phage library, personalized phage cocktails could be made by selecting multiple individual phages from the phage library to create phage mixes customized to the needs of each patient.

U.S. Navy photo

NMRC also worked closely with WRAIRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wound infections department to test the phage cocktails in wound infection models and demonstrate that personalized phage cocktails can treat infections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bacteriophages, commonly known as phages, are viruses found in the environment, and are known for their activity against bacteria; this is why they have therapeutic potential, and may be able to treat bacterial infections even when antibiotics fail,â&#x20AC;? deputy director of the NMRC Infectious Diseases Directorate Cmdr. Michael Stockelman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this study we showed that a phage cocktail can be designed and used to target an infection caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria in a wound infection experimental model.â&#x20AC;?

Phages have an entirely different way of attacking bacteria compared to the mechanism of action for conventional antibiotics. Phages invade the bacterial cells, replicate in the cells, and destroy the cells when they rupture and release more phages into the body. Because phages multiply when they kill the disease-causing bacteria, the phage treatment actually gets stronger where it is needed most, at the infection site. In addition, phages do not affect bacteria that are not being targeted.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our bodies have many different kinds of bacteria that normally live on or in us, and they help our bodies work,â&#x20AC;?

Stockelman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we take antibiotics, we impact the whole system, killing good bacteria along with the bad bacteria. Phages will not damage that community of bacteria called the microbiome the way antibiotics do.â&#x20AC;?

Stockelman explained phage therapy could allow physicians to treat and manage wound infections in combat casualties who would otherwise need repeated surgeries or other extreme measures, including limb amputations, to control the infections. Successful phage therapy would greatly improve the quality of life for wounded warriors and make it more likely wound infections would not prevent a warfighterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to return to duty.

The next step for the team is to plan for clinical trials testing phage cocktails in human volunteers. Initial studies will confirm phage is safe in humans. For future clinical trials, researchers hope to work with treating physicians to eventually make personalized phage cocktails for patients with otherwise untreatable infections, to test the ability of phage therapy to overcome antibiotic resistance in a medical setting, outside the laboratory.

consisting of two tigers and one member of the JEA evaluated participants as they showcased their dance and musical styling’s during an allotted two-minute window, as they competed for prizes provided by the JEA. “This was a great experience because I love to perform and I love to play,” Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Fuel) Airman Austin Waldron said.

Waldron won first place by performing a stylized version of “Sunday Morning” by Maroon 5 with accompanying guitar.

“I play every day and it’s something that has helped me get through life,” Waldron said.

Sixteen contestants participated in the 90-minute showcase for a crowd in excess of 150 Sailors and tigers as the ship steamed through the Pacific Ocean.

“I was happy to help the JEA set up this showcase during Tiger Cruise,” Chief Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) Arnel Angeles said. “I thought it was important that people see and hear from the ship’s junior Sailors.”

The Rock the Mic talent show represented just one of the many Tiger Cruise events.

Other events included Damage Control Olympics, pie and watermelon eating contests, work center tours and hands-on static displays designed to showcase the talents and jobs of John C. Stennis’ Sailors.

“I really appreciate the opportunity and it means a lot to me to show the rest of the crew and their families that there is a lot of talent on the boat,” Waldron said.

Providing a combat-ready force to protect collective maritime interests, John C. Stennis is on a regularly scheduled Western Pacific deployment.

GOLD STAR | Teens participate in sailing adventure camp Lt. James Arterberry, an instructor at Surface Warfare Officers School, provides littoral combat ship simulator training to children of fallen special operations service members during the Gold Star Teen Adventure Sailing Camp on board Naval Station Newport.

Continued from B1 teens is clearly the most beneficial aspect of the Gold Star Teen Sailing Adventure,” operations director for this year’s GSTA Lonnie Barham said. “It’s one thing for a teen to talk to a surviving parent, sibling or professional counselor about their feelings of loss.

It’s entirely different and tremendously more helpful when a silently grieving teen can talk to another teen in a nonthreatening, supportive environment where feelings come out naturally.”

Throughout their stay, the teens stayed aboard sailboats provided by the Newport Yacht Club, visiting U.S. Naval War College (NWC), Fort Adams, Jamestown, U.S. Coast Guard Station Castle Hill, Rhode Island Army National Guard, Glenn Farm Polo Club, and the Morale, Welfare and Recreation bowling lanes at Naval Station Newport.

Multiple adventure camps are available to the GSTA to choose from each summer and the sailing adventure, established three years ago by Army Col. Patrick Powers, a Green Beret, is a more hands-on learning experience for the participants.

Upon their arrival, the teens worked with the crew of Seamanship and Leadership Training for Youth, doing safety drills under sail, swim tests, and sailing

MC2 Jess Lewis

to a few different places along Narragansett Bay. The teens sailed in Rhodes 19 boats provided by NWC’s yacht club.

During their stay, the teens also got to visit Surface Warfare Officers School at Naval Station Newport, learning how to use the same simulators that future surface warfare officers use to practice navigating ships through different kinds of weather, staying in a group formation with other ships, navigating through ports into the ocean and dealing with different water levels.

Some of the teens who have had positive experiences at the camps as participants have returned to be peer counselors to incoming teens. One of the teens, Victoria, said her first camp

experience was life altering and she knew she had to come back.

“That very first year impacted me so much I don’t see how I could be as happy as I am without this camp,” Victoria said.

This year was Victoria’s third adventure camp and her first year as a peer counselor.

“The fun, learning, sharing and peer-to-peer emotional support these kids gain during this adventure would be impossible to duplicate anywhere else,” Barham said. “They all want to come back. We adults who run and support the program love the experience and the teens. We all look forward to seeing them and other Gold Star Teens next year.”

Sailors play a part in street cleanup

By MC3 Alexander Cole Patrol Squadron 46 Public Affairs OAK HARBOR, WASH.

Sailors from Patrol Squadron (VP) 46 participated in a street cleanup as part of the Adopt-A-Street program.

Early that morning, members of VP-46’s coalition of Sailors against destructive decisions (CSADD) and CPO 365 gathered on Northeast Regatta Drive at Olympic View Elementary School to commence the cleanup efforts. VP-46 CSADD joined with the AdoptA-Street program to provide an opportunity for Sailors to have a positive impact on their community.

“You learn humility cleaning up a mess you had no part in making,” Personnel Specialist 3rd Class Christopher Dukes said. “It’s inspiring to see people in the squadron out there with you making a difference.”

The squadron’s Commanding Officer Cmdr. Chad J. Livingston, and Command Master Chief (CMC) Jonathon Fields also took part in the event.

“It shows morale,” Dukes said. “Seeing the ‘Skipper’ and CMC out there really shows that our leaders support us.”

Fields said he was proud of his fellow shipmates and was pleased with the amount of people who joined in the cleanup effort.

“We had an amazing turn out,” Fields said. “Everyone was motivated, and you could really tell everyone wanted to be there.”

The participants filled eight trash bags along a onemile stretch of road.

“It grows camaraderie,” Fields said. “Being out there and making an impact together not only shows support for our community, it also demonstrates that we support each other.”

| Naval Base Kitsap Sailors attend training camp SEAHAWKS Continued from B1 The event was sponsored by USAA, the official military appreciation sponsor of the Seahawks.

“It’s an awesome experience to observe my favorite NFL team in action,” Legal Department leading petty officer at Transient Personnel Unit (TPU) Bangor Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) 1st Class Tu Chau said. “To know my team is adopting my service branch is a true honor.”

Sailors got the opportunity to watch practice, meet and greet the team, and participate in a boot camp-style NFL training camp.

“To share this experience with my favorite team and some of the best Sailors is a truly awesome experience,” TPU Bangor Commanding Officer Lt. Cmdr. Jay Hyler said.

The Seahawks hosted more than 100

Sailors and countless fans who were spectating from the stands, cheering on their favorite team and the Navy.

“When you go to see NFL players and you’re the one who’s treated as if you’re famous or royalty, it’s the best feeling ever,” Machinist’s Mate 3rd Class Ivory Hargrove said.

During the “boot camp” portion of the practice, Sailors competed against one another in team events, with the winning team’s Sailors each winning two tickets to the Seahawks Military Appreciation Day game in November.

“It was a true honor for our Sailors to be present for the Seahawks’ Training Camp,” Navy Region Northwest Command Master Chief Todd Gruchalla said. “For the Seahawks staff and players to take time out to meet and greet our Sailors truly displays the appreciation that they have for our U.S. military personnel.”

MC3 Charles D. Gaddis IV Sailors assigned to Naval Base Kitsap participate in training events during the Seahawks™ Training Camp event. USAA sponsored the Seattle Seahawks™ Training Camp and invited Naval Base Kitsap Sailors to attend boot camp style training.

BRAVO ZULU | Awarded in ‘Environmental Excellence in Weapon System Acquisition, Large Program’ Continued from B1 and reduced hazardous materials across the program while diving into the details was impressive,” McGinn said. “Their dedication, talent and knowledge made a difference.”

The team was presented with the Chief of Naval Operations award, June 30. This is the team’s fifth CNO award and second SECNAV award.

“Our team’s biggest success was establishing a robust ESOH program earlyon in the acquisition process

to ensure compliance with all technical requirements,” PMA-290/P-8A ESOH team lead Michele Pok said. “In addition, the team engaged multiple stakeholders, at all levels, to ensure that the program’s needs and concerns were addressed.

“Our massive communication effort with all the stakeholders was key, addressing all ESOH concerns in a timely manner,” chemical engineer and P-8A ESOH team member Jeanelle Tortorice said.

Currently, the program is

focused on completing the transition of all P-3C Orion squadrons to P-8As. As of Aug. 9, the P-8A program has delivered 42 production aircraft, supporting fleet transition and operational deployments. On average, 1.5 production aircraft are delivered per month. There are six test aircraft supporting system development, integration and test of P-8.

Improving the quality and usability of the information in the P-8A hazardous material authorized use list (HMAUL) was also a major accomplish-

ment. The team collaborated with Jacksonville fleet support team logistics, Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) logistics, and the NAVAIR materials engineering division to reduce the number of line items in the HMAUL by 35 percent and decrease the number of items without national stock numbers by 67 percent.

“Our biggest challenge was consolidating the hazardous materials list,” Pok said.

Originally, the Navy planned to have Boeing manufacture and maintain the aircraft.

However, in the middle of the acquisition process, the maintenance concept changed and the Navy decided to perform the maintenance.

“This resulted in gaps and disconnects between commercial standards and Navy standards, which were resolved through teamwork,” Pok said. “This ongoing effort continues to streamline the aircraft’s delivered HMAUL to meet the Navy’s operational needs.”

Other programs are benefiting from the P-8A ESOH team’s success because the

team members with specialized skill and knowledge also support other acquisition programs.

“Through monthly meetings and regular communication within the team, we are able to apply lessons learned to other programs,” Pok said.

The team has also extended its reach to the Royal Australian Air Force, which has purchased the P-8A. With different hazardous materials and regulations than the U.S., the ESOH team is working with RAAF to track these materials and ensure compliance.

Norfolk Tides host Navy Night “

It was a great chance to showcase our capabilities to the public.”

By MCSN Maria I. Alvarez Navy Public Affairs Support Element East NORFOLK

The Norfolk Tides, a minor league baseball team, hosted its ninth annual Navy Night at Harbor Park Aug. 13.

The event was held in honor of the men and women of the U.S. Navy and to showcase the capabilities of commands in the region.

“I love the festivities in the beginning and how they include the crowds participation,” Chief (select) Information Systems Technician Gloria Blanchard said. “I feel that it represents unity and it feels good to be recognized for the sacrifices we make.”

Before the game, public interactive displays from Navy Expeditionary Combat Command and Mid-Atlantic Fire & Rescue were set up outside of the ballpark.

On the field, fans in their seats were shown a demonstration with Csiko, a military working dog trained to find explosives and mitigate threats.

“It went really well,” Regional military working dog trainer attached to Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Chief (select) Master-atArms Nick Webster said. “It was a great chance to showcase our capabilities to the public.”

cruiting district recited the oath of enlistment on the third base line, marking their official entry into the Navy.

“It is rewarding to give the oath of enlistment in the company of people who understand what I will go through to protect this country,” future Sailor Aleshia Williams said. “Being able to swear in with an admiral in front of my family and my daughter made me proud.”

Fans held their hands over their hearts for the national anthem before, Commander of Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Rear Adm. Jack Scorby joined in throwing the first pitch. The Tides, dressed in blue digital camouflage, then took to the field to begin the game.

Navy Tides Night is a good opportunity to get the Hampton Roads community involved in Navy related events, Scorby said.

He also said the support we get is outstanding.

Sleep is important for healthy brain function, emotional well-being and overall good physical health. But many service members and veterans are not getting the sleep they need. A study conducted by Rand Corp. determined about 70 percent of deployable service members reported six hours or less of sleep per day, almost half said they sleep poorly and one-third felt fatigued three to four times per week.

Psychological health concerns or a traumatic brain injury (TBI) may make sleep even more difficult. Sleep disturbances are common for those recovering from a brain injury, while nightmares are common for those who have experienced trauma. Making simple changes to your behavior and environment — sleep schedule, bedtime habits and daily lifestyle choices — can help you get a better night’s rest.

Avoid caffeine, alcohol and nicotine prior to bedtime. Having these stimulants too close to bedtime may keep you awake at night. Avoid them within three hours of turning in.

Keep a regular sleep schedule. Go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time every day. Try to stick to this routine even on the weekends.

Eventually, your body will get into a rhythm and expect to awake and sleep at certain times.

Exercise early. Exercising regularly has a variety of health benefits, including promoting better quality sleep.

Avoid vigorous exercise three hours before bed.

Follow a relaxing bedtime routine.

Do you have a bedtime ritual? You may find it easier to fall asleep if you make an effort to relax and unwind before bed. For example, take a warm bath or shower, practice relaxation exercises like meditation or yoga, listen to calming music or do some light reading.

Make your bedroom a comfortable place to rest. Turn your bedroom into a sleep-inducing environment.

Remove distractions, loud noise and bright lighting. Keep your room cool, and play soft music if that helps you

to sleep. Also, if your mattress and pillows aren’t comfortable, it may be time to purchase new bedding.

Use the bed to sleep, not work.

Your bed may be a comfortable place to eat, watch TV and work, but try to find other areas outside your bedroom for these activities. By using your bed only for sleep, you’re strengthening the connection between your bed and sleeping.

Go to bed only when you’re sleepy.

You don’t want to stay in bed for long periods of time while awake. If you don’t fall asleep within 20-30 minutes, get out of bed, go to another room and do something relaxing until you feel tired enough to sleep.

Avoid naps. While napping is often a great way to recharge, afternoon napping may make it harder to fall asleep at night. If you’re tired during the day, go for a walk or do some gentle exercise. If you can’t help it, take a nap but keep it short.

Change your electronic habits. Researchers found that levels of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleepwake cycles, are affected by blue light.

Turn off electronic devices at least two hours prior to bedtime.

Follow doctor’s guidance on sleep medication. Take prescribed sleep medications as instructed and at the same time every night. Don’t take over-the-counter medications or supplements without first talking to your doctor.

It is always best to speak with your health care provider for effective treatment of sleep issues. Below are self-management tools you can access from home.

The tools work best when used in conjunction with your provider: Warfighter Sleep Kit: Provides information to service members on the impact of sleep on mission effectiveness and the importance of getting enough sleep after a concussion. The sleep kit helps with basic sleep hygiene; it includes a sleep mask, earplugs and educational materials.

Afterdeployment Sleep Module: This online tool offers information on good sleep hygiene, self-assessments, how to seek help, videos and more.

TBI Symptom Management: Healthy Sleep: This fact sheet offers healthy sleep tips for service members and veterans who experience sleep disturbances after a traumatic brain injury.

Mobile Apps: These apps are available to help warriors experiencing sleep issues. Dream EZ is designed to help a person “rewrite” nightmares to make them less intense and frequent.

CBT-i Coach is for people engaged in cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-i) with a health care provider, or those who have experienced symptoms of insomnia and would like to improve their sleep habits.

Big Bands on the Bay When: Aug. 21, 7 p.m.

War Dogs With the war in Iraq raging on, Efraim Diveroli offers childhood friend David Packouz a chance to make big bucks by becoming an international arms dealer. Together, they exploit a government initiative that allows businesses to bid on U.S. military contracts. Starting small allows the duo to rake in money and live the high life. They soon find themselves in over their heads after landing a $300 million deal to supply Afghan forces, a deal that puts them in business with some very shady people.

Showtimes for Kubo and the Two Strings Young Kubo’s (Art Parkinson) peaceful existence comes crashing down when he accidentally summons a vengeful spirit from the past. Now on the run, Kubo joins forces with Monkey (Charlize Theron) and Beetle (Matthew McConaughey) to unlock a secret legacy. Armed with a magical instrument, Kubo must battle the Moon King (Ralph Fiennes) and other gods and monsters to save his family and solve the mystery of his fallen father, the greatest samurai warrior the world has ever known.

Ben Hur In this adaptation of Lew Wallace’s 1880 novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of Christ (previously brought to the screen in 1925 and 1959), a Jewish prince (Jack Huston) spends years toiling in slavery after an old friend, now an officer in the Roman army occupying Jerusalem (Toby Kebbell), falsely accuses him of a crime. In time, he wins his freedom and competes against his betrayer in a violent chariot race, but an encounter with Jesus Christ (Rodrigo Santoro) teaches him the importance of mercy and compassion. This version of Ben-Hur was penned by Oscar-winning 12 Years a Slave scribe John Ridley, and directed by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter). Morgan Freeman co-stars.

Inclement weather and eight caution periods kept race speeds in the MidOhio Challenge under 54 mph.

Justin Marks a ‘monster in the wet’ at Mid-Ohio

By Rick Minter Universal Uclick

Saturday’s Xfinity Series race — the Mid-Ohio Challenge at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course — was as appropriately named as a race could be.

Much of the race, NASCAR’s top event on a weekend in which the Sprint Cup Series was idle, was run in a driving rainstorm, with cars sliding off the track nearly every lap. But that’s just what Justin Marks needed — and wanted. Marks, an experienced road racer who has run in the rain on numerous occasions, dominated the race and scored his first Xfinity Series win. In fact, it was the first time he’d ever even led a single lap in 25 career Xfinity Starts.

At Mid-Ohio, driving Chip Ganassi’s No. 42 Chevrolet, Marks led 43 of 75 laps, including the final 10, to get the win over Sam Hornish Jr., Ryan Blaney, Ty Dillon and Justin Allgaier.

The race was slowed by eight caution periods, with the field running under the yellow flag for 32 laps. That, combined with the drivers running reduced speeds due to rain, led to an average race

speed of just 53.437 miles per hour. Officially, there were 13 lead changes among eight drivers, but there were many more on the course, as even the leaders were prone to spins as drivers struggled to maintain control of the relatively heavy cars with high centers of gravity, in the driving rain. Lighter sports cars aren’t as hard to race in the rain.

The entire race wasn’t run in the rain, which added to the drama, as teams ran some of the race in the rain with grooved rain tires, while other portions were run under clear skies on the normal racing slicks.

It all played into Marks’ hands, as he was clearly the best under the difficult circumstances.

“These are as tough conditions as you can put drivers in,” he said in Victory Lane, which was a makeshift celebration held under a tent. “It’s just really hard on everybody when it’s dry and wet and you don’t really know what to do, so strategy plays a big role in it.

“My specialty is road racing in the rain in these stock cars, and I don’t get much of an opportunity to do it, so when that opportunity pres-

ents itself, you have to really take advantage of it. I knew if the race ended in the rain that we would have a real shot at winning it.”

On a week in which the entire motorsports world was paying tribute to the late Bryan Clauson, who died from injuries suffered in a Midget race at Belleville, Kansas, Marks was able to add his

own tribute. He dedicated his win to Clauson, who raced for a time in the Xfinity Series driving for the same team that fielded Marks’ car.

“Bryan’s short career in stock car racing came with Chip Ganassi Racing, so it’s great to be able to put this thing in Victory Lane to honor him,” Marks said. “He’s a real American hero race car

driver, Bryan was. They don’t make them like that anymore.”

Hornish, the runner-up, is also considered a good road racer. He had another good run in a season in which it looked as if he might not even get to run a single race. He was among those congratulating Marks.

“My hat’s off to Justin

Marks,” said Hornish, who started from the pole in the No. 2 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing. “I generally hold myself as a pretty decent rain racer, and even given the opportunity there at the end, I couldn’t do anything with him. In the dry, I feel like we could win, but Justin ... was just a monster in the wet.”
