By MC3 Cole Keller USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Public Affairs MANAMA, BAHRAIN

After three years, aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) returned to the Kingdom of Bahrain for a port visit, Aug. 13-17.

With more than 50 consecutive days at sea, the crew appreciated the time to rest and explore the small island country and take in the local culture.

“It was awesome to get off the ship for a few days and recharge,” Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) 3rd Class Skylar Halbeisen said.

“Bahrain is a beautiful country and I’m looking forward to coming back here again.”

Morale, Welfare, and Recreation hosted several tours, events and even trips to a spa – of which a good number of Sailors took advantage.

USS Mason Public Affairs GULF OF ADEN

Arleigh Burke-class guidedmissile destroyer USS Mason (DDG 87), part of the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group (CSG), assisted the motor vessel Marzouk, a stricken dhow off the coast of Yemen, July 27.

Marzouk’s propulsion and auxiliary systems had suffered a massive failure, leaving the vessel and its crew dead in the water. The situation left a severely overcrowded crew vulnerable to harsh seas and weather conditions without basic necessities, including drinking water. Immediately after discovering the dhow, Mason’s visit, board, search, and seizure team, along with an engineering assessment team went to troubleshoot the propulsion system and to aid Marzouk’s passengers.

“We came upon a dhow that was dead in the water with over 300 [people] on board with limited provisions and less than adequate living accommodations,” member of the engineering assessment team Command Master Chief Ronn Shasky said. “We provided food and water to the passengers on board and quickly established a rapport with the crew, allowing us to assess their mechanical issues.”

Upon inspection of the dhow’s engine room, the engineering assessment team discovered a severely degraded propulsion system.

“The MWR tours are always great,” Culinary Specialist Seaman Kayla Amador said. “I got a massage and a pedicure. I feel like a new woman.”

Wasp stays connected with VTC

When the local Navy College Office closes, how do I pursue my educational goals?

By MC2 Nathan Wilkes USS Wasp Public Affairs MEDITERREAN SEA

Three Sailors and one Marine aboard amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1) participated in a family video teleconference (VTC) in the ship’s flag conference room, Aug. 9.

Lt. Nathan Richard, Aviation Ordnanceman Airman Johnathan Perkins, Fireman Terrance Thigpen, and Marine Capt. Mark Chapman each had 15 minutes to speak with their families. Richard and Thigpen were able to see their newborn children for the first time. “It’s a complete joy and a blessing to be able to see my wife and son,� Richard said. “It’s unfortunate that the time didn’t work out so I could be there, but I am extremely grateful for those that helped to set this up for us.�

Perkins and his wife are expecting to have their first child any day now, and Chapman surprised his family with a promotion from chief warrant officer to captain. “I’m excited and nervous, and the anticipation for him to get here is crazy,� Perkins said. “I hope that he likes baseball!�

By Ed Barker MC2 Nathan Wilkes Lt. Nathan Richard speaks to his wife and sees his newborn son for the first time during a video teleconference aboard USS Wasp (LHD 1) Aug. 9.

With many more major events and newborns on the way, VTC aboard Wasp is set to make a positive impact on the lives of service members and their families for the remainder of deployment. “The VTC offers our deployed Sailors the opportunity to interact with their loved ones following major events in their lives,� Navy chaplain assigned to Wasp Lt. Andrew Young said. “We are able to allow our service members to meet their newborn children for the very first time in this live video feed, or to see their spouse just days before they give birth to their child. Our Sailors sacrifice so much serving our nation and unfortunately miss some of the most important moments in their fami-

lies’ lives. With the VTC, we can give them an opportunity to feel, if only for 15 minutes, like they are home enjoying this event.�

The live feed was sent from the ship to Commander, Naval Surface Forces Atlantic headquarters in Norfolk. “Advancements in technology have given the military the ability to VTC with family and friends from huge distances,� said Master Chief Information Systems Technician Craig Harris, senior enlisted leader for Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 6. “The driving force behind a Sailor or Marine’s performance is directly affected by the opportunity to speak with and remain in contact with their loved ones.�

With the announcement of the closings of 16 stateside Navy College Offices (NCO) on Oct. 1, of this year, and the remaining four – Norfolk, Virginia; San Diego, California; Jacksonville, Florida; and Kitsap, Washington – closing by Oct. 1, 2017, many Sailors are asking how they will start or continue their education.

After Oct. 1, Voluntary Education (VOLED) services in the continental U.S. will be provided by the education counselors at the Navy College Program’s Virtual Education Center (VEC). According to Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center’s VOLED program director Ernest D’Antonio the goal of restructuring service delivery is to provide Sailors the educational tools and information when and where they need it. The VEC call center hours are from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST Monday – Friday, and may be reached by calling: (877) 838-1659 or DSN 4924684, or by email at VEC@navy.mil. “This new VOLED structure will make educational programs, including counseling, Tuition Assistance and testing services accessible for all Sailors in the continental U.S. through a combination of self-service and virtual services,� D’Antonio said. “The colleges themselves will still have access to bases for teaching courses and counseling students.�

The Little Creek/Fort Story NCO will close on Oct. 1, but academic institutions with partnership agreements will continue to provide services as they have in the past. Currently, Little Creek/Fort Story is served by: Old Dominion University; Saint Leo University; Tidewater Community College; and University of Maryland University College.

The four NCOs staying open until October 2017 will continue to provide full services, including counseling and testing, until they close.

Most of the current steps in the VOLED process will not change under the new service delivery model. Sailors are expected, both now and in the future, to talk with their chain of command about pursing an education program; research education programs via the Navy College Program website and the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) website, including completing information modules such as the DANTES Higher Education Preparatory Course and TA Decide; receive counseling from a Navy College Program education counselor; work with an approved academic institution to develop an education and degree plan; meet all Navy eligibility requirements to use TA, including completion of Navy WebTA training and TA applications that will be approved by the Sailor’s command; and successfully complete their academic courses.

The MyEducation portal on the Navy College website is available 24/7 for Sailors to establish and monitor their accounts, ensure their degree plans are current and verify they have received education counseling.

Academic Institutions requesting access to Navy installations are required to use the Air Force Academic Institution Base Access Portal to request visitation for student interaction, education fairs, Morale, Welfare and Recreation events, sponsorship, command visits, etc. The portal can be found on the internet via: aiportal.acc.af.mil/aiportal/. Additional information may be found on the Navy College Program website’s “Base Access� page at: www.navycollege.navy.mil/base_access_info.html.

NEWS FROM NAS OCEANA

Swordsmen roll through cruise days of leisure and culture in Naples, Italy. They availed themselves of the opportunity to visit Rome, Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast and other picturesque and historical locations throughout Italy.

Following the port call, Eisenhower continued to the eastern Mediterranean Sea, and began launching sorties into Syria and Iraq in support of Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR). This was weeks earlier than originally planned, but due to their vigorous training, VFA-32 aviators and Sailors were ready. The change in schedule had no impact on the squadron’s ability to support national objectives from U.S. 6th Fleet area of responsibility.

July was just as busy. After passing through the Suez Canal, VFA-32 provided immeasurable support to Americans and their allies through Operation Oaken Steel. With little prior notice, VFA-32 aviators, in close coordination with VFA-105, quickly planned missions for South Sudan. Both VFA-32 and VFA-105 aircraft launched from the Red Sea and flew more than 1,200 miles inland to the American embassy in Juba, South Sudan to support the orderly departure of 29 embassy personnel.

MWR hosts back to school event at Oceana

By MC2 Alysia Hernandez NAS Oceana Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH

The Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) team at Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana hosted the Back to School Family Fest at Main Gate Park, Aug. 18.

The annual event was free to attend, and open to military personnel and their families. Each year, NAS Oceana MWR hosts a special family fest geared towards helping families get ready for the upcoming school year by creating a one-stop-shop of information as well as giving out school supplies as prizes to the games provided at each booth.

MWR once again pulled out the stops with entertainment including live music, a DJ, laser tag, a magician, face painters, balloon artists, hay rides, pony rides, a field full of inflatables, a rock wall and loads of carnival games.

Vendors and sponsors from NAS Oceana, Dam Neck Annex and the community were

Since leaving Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana for deployment on June 1, Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 32 has conquered many challenges.

After saying their goodbyes to family and friends nearly three months ago, VFA-32 left for a planned seven-month cruise aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69). Before transiting the Atlantic Ocean they completed carrier qualifications, comprising multiple days of landing on the aircraft carrier in different environmental conditions, ensuring that squadron pilots were fully prepared for the challenging circumstances they would face over the coming months. The Swordsmen passed, successfully qualifying 18 pilots.

While transiting the Atlantic, Sailors of VFA-32 worked hard supporting flight operations, maintaining combat readiness and qualification currency.

By mid-June, Eisenhower had safely passed through the Strait of Gibraltar and entered the Mediterranean Sea. In the following days, the squadron conducted unit level training and currency flights before their first port call.

As ambassadors, VFA-32 conducted themselves professionally during four

port. During their extended time in the Gulf of Aden, the Swordsmen flew a variety of missions including tanking, and surface search and coordination.

In addition to their normal duties many Sailors received warfare qualifications, personal awards, and promotions including four Sailors meritoriously promoted by the commanding officer for exceptional performance.

Once relieved from Operation Oaken Steel, VFA-32 proceeded towards the Arabian Gulf and through the Strait of Hormuz. During the transit VFA-32 were again entrusted with the special task of protecting the strike group, standing up alert aircraft ready to launch at a moment’s notice. With minimal and safe interaction with the Iranian navy, Eisenhower continued to sail north into the waters of the Arabian Gulf, where she has spent the past month launching continued strikes against ISIL in Iraq and Syria in support of OIR. In the span of a few short months, the Swordsmen and their teammates in Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 3, Carrier Strike Group 10, and Eisenhower excelled at operations and sustained combat ashore. By providing flexible, timely, and professional support to our nation, VFA-32 stands ready to meet challenges over the coming months.

The scene marked the beginning of the 16th annual Chief Petty Officer Heritage Days at the Hampton Roads Naval Museum, a three-day event intended to foster a sense of pride and naval heritage in the hearts of chief petty officer selectees. “We are building tomorrow’s leaders,�

Senior Chief Sonar Technician D.J. Moore said. “A lot of the knowledge passed on to us isn’t always written in a black and white form. Sometimes it’s about experiences and what you go through, and that’s what we’re passing on.�

The selectees participated in a tour aboard the retired battleship USS Wisconsin (BB 64), a Navy vessel in service from 1943 to 1991. Selectees learned a range of topics from older uniform styles to historic naval engagements while keeping with this year’s theme to trust in your fellow chiefs and take care of your junior Sailors.

“Today has taught me a lot,� Navy Recruiting District Richmond, Virginia, Chief (select) Moises Paze said. “Today has taught me that I can count on my brothers and sisters in the mess, and that I can count on my senior leadership for guidance.�

Heritage Days allowed chiefs and chief selectees from a range of regionally-based commands to share their experiences and strengthen the kinship of the chief’s mess. “It gets them exposed to heritage they might not normally be exposed to,� USS Mitscher’s (DDG 57) Command Master Chief Jerry Hagdorn said Several retired master chiefs also attended the event to share their experience and wisdom. Although no longer in active service, their contributions help ensure the continued strength and pride of the chief petty officer rate. “The main goal is to continue the heritage and the legacy of the Navy chief,�

Moore said. “We want to build that next generation so that they can pass it on.�

BOLD ALLIGATOR EXERCISES AMPHIBIOUS FORCES From USFF Public Affairs NORFOLK

Commander of U.S. Fleet Forces (USFF) Command and Commander of U.S. Marine Corps Forces Command (MARFORCOM) commenced Exercise Bold Alligator 2016 (BA16) in Norfolk, Aug. 15.

BA16 is a synthetic, scenario-based simulation exercise designed to train Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) 2 and 2d Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB). As part of the exercise, both staffs are planning and executing a MEB-sized amphibious assault from a sea base in a medium land and maritime threat environment and anti-access/ area denial (A2AD) environment to improve naval, amphibious core competencies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bold Alligator series has been invaluable to the Navy-Marine Corps Teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amphibious operations and has increased our interoperability and cooperation with our allies and partners,â&#x20AC;? Deputy Commander

MC3 Mutis A. Capizzi Commanding General of the Norwegian Brigade-North Brigadier Eldar Berli, far left, listens to a discussion during lunch held in the flag mess aboard amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5).

of USFF Vice Adm. Richard Breckenridge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a synthetic exercise, Bold Alligator 16 creates a unique opportunity to evaluate planning processes, execute command and control across the amphibious force and provide valuable experience for all partici-

pants, setting the conditions for success in Bold Alligator 17, next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s live exercise.â&#x20AC;?

Previously, BA14 focused on crisis response operations in a complex setting with coalition partners. The capabilities that allow amphibious forces to conduct a forcible entry against an opposing military force are the same capabilities that make it the first, best choice for crisis response, humanitarian assistance and building partnerships.

BA16, while synthetic, prepares American service members and coalition partners for Bold Alligator 2017 which will draw from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afloat and ashore planning to train amphibious forces in a real-world environment. As part of BA16, 15 countries are participating or observing from different command elements in the Hampton Roads area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bold Alligator 2016 capitalizes on modern simulation technology to refine joint and combined amphibious operations from planning to execution, with a focus on translating

the ongoing exercise efforts to follow-on live exercises,â&#x20AC;? Commander of MARFORCOM Lt. Gen. John Wissler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The combination of realistic simulation technologies and existing communications infrastructure during this exercise provides the Navy and Marine Corps team, along with our international partners, the ability to rigorously train for amphibious combat in an ever increasingly complex environment by leveraging the efficiencies of virtual and constructive training tools, all the while developing the most valuable warfighting commodity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; personal relationships between military professionals.â&#x20AC;?

Improving Navy-Marine Corps amphibious core competencies along with coalition, North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Allied and partner nations is a necessary investment in the current and future readiness of our forces.

WPNSTA Yorktown celebrates 98th birthday

By Michael Vernon Voss WPNSTA Yorktown Public Affairs YORKTOWN

Sailors, civilian employees and community members from York County and the Greater Williamsburg community came together during a week’s worth of events to celebrate the 98th birthday of Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, Aug. 8-12.

Originally acquired by order of Presidential Proclamation as the Naval Mine Depot on Aug. 7, 1918, today, after 98 years, the weapons station still serves as one of the Navy’s “explosive corridors” to the sea.

To mark the anniversary of the historic base, this year, Commanding Officer of Naval Weapons Station Yorktown Capt. Paul C. Haebler accepted an official proclamation recognizing the 98th birthday of the installation from Chairman of the York County Board of Supervisors Jeffrey D. Wassmer,.

Additionally, Haebler along with more than 200 local attendees were treated to a public concert from the Navy Fleet Forces Command Band held at the historic Yorktown Beach.

The celebrations continued on Aug. 12, as more than 100 runners from the installation and local area took part in the annual 8K Fear the Pier race and a special meal held at the Scudder Hall Galley on the weapons station.

“I echo the sentiments of a thankful community, when I say Happy Birthday to the Sailors, civilians and dependents who enable Naval Weapons Station Yorktown to continue meeting our security mission,” Wassmer said.

“This installation is of strategic importance to our nation, and you are important to the residents of this community.”

Today, the more than 2,000 Department of Defense employees and contractors assigned to Naval Weapons Station Yorktown contribute more than $300,000 to the local economy, but more importantly they are active volunteers at area schools and Boys and Girls Clubs across the Hampton Roads area.

“The birthday of the installation not only offers a chance to celebrate with our local community members, but it also is an opportunity for us to remember the history of this one-time mine depot that today delivers more than 90,000 tons of ordnance each year to the Atlantic Fleet,” Haebler said. “As the installation nears its centennial anniversary, I can say with confidence our Sailors and civilian employees start each day remembering to honor the past and look to the future.”

USS Mason’s CSADD encourages talent

By MC3 Janweb B. Lagazo USS Mason Public Affairs GULF OF ADEN

Sailors in the Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions (CSADD) aboard guided-missile destroyer USS Mason (DDG 87) hosted and participated in a command talent show, Aug. 12.

The talent show encouraged Sailors of all rates and ranks to participate and become more involved while having fun.

“The ship really needed a morale booster,” CSADD president Culinary Specialist 2nd Class India Shula said. “We felt the crew would love a chance to be themselves and show their talents. The goal was to show the amazing talent we have aboard Mason.”

CSADD is a Navy-wide organization that focuses on building unit cohesion among junior Sailors and seeks to reinforce a culture of shipmates helping shipmates through peer-to-peer interaction, while preventing destructive, addictive behaviors, and fortifying leadership skills.

“We try to give junior Sailors an opportunity to be involved within the command,” Shula said.

“CSADD wants to get them out of their comfort zones so they can contribute throughout the command. A Sailor who feels a part of something and is motivated by peers is a concoction for a motivated and hardworking Sailor.”

However, studies have been done to show the positive effects sunlight can have on the condition and many patients are receiving light treatment using an ultraviolet light box. Subsequently, at least 75 percent of patients see a significant improvement.

NMCP | There are several

types of psoriasis Continued from A1 “Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory, multi-factorial disease of the immune system that can be hereditary,” staff dermatologist at NMCP Lt. Cmdr. Lesley Hawley said. “It is basically a production of skin cells, usually resulting in thick, white scales and flaky, irritated skin.”

Psoriasis does not discriminate against gender as men and women develop psoriasis at equal rates. However, four percent of Caucasian Americans suffer from psoriasis as opposed to only two percent of African Americans. Although the condition is often diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40, it can develop at any age but is not contagious.

Psoriasis most often presents itself on the knees, elbows and scalp but can affect the torso, palms and soles of the feet.

There are several types of psoriasis. Most types go through cycles, flaring for a few weeks or months, then subsiding. In some cases, psoriasis can go into complete remission. Despite its prevalence, psoriasis is commonly stigmatized. Many people with psoriasis experience anxiety, embarrassment and depression as they manage the condition.

“People with psoriasis often have triggers that cause the condition to flare up,” Hawley explained. “For example, strep [throat] – streptococcal pharyngitis – stress and illness can result in these flare ups.”

The traditional treatment of psoriasis is to treat the inflamed area with a medicinal cream. However, studies have been done to show the positive effects sunlight can have on the condition and many patients are receiving light treatment using an ultraviolet light box.

Subsequently, at least 75 percent of patients see a significant improvement.

For those who have psoriasis, one of the most destructive symptoms can be related to joint problems. As psoriasis is the inflammation of the skin, that inflammation can reach the joints of the patient’s knees and elbows, which can lead to psoriasis arthritis.

Anyone experiencing inflammation and white, flaky skin is urged to contact the Dermatology Department as soon as possible at 953-0291.

said. “All of that made the judging extremely difficult because they all were great!”

The top three performances were presented with gift cards to the

ship’s store by Mason’ Commanding Officer Cmdr. Christopher J. Gilbertson said.

“One of the greatest things about our Navy is its diversity,” Gilbertson said. “Providing an opportunity for Sailors to be themselves and share their unique talents in a relaxed atmosphere is important.”

Gilbertson explained the winning performances were “well deserved.”

“It’s great for people to notice all the talent,” winner Culinary Specialist 3rd Class Trayon Dupree said. “It was fun, and it allowed others to be themselves. It just feels good.”

Jackson said that the crew is looking forward to the next event to showcase more of Mason’s outstanding performers.

“It was beautiful,” Hospital Corpsman Jordan Smith said. “Everyone had a chance to relax and have fun because at the end of the

day, we’re family.”

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

Eisenhower CSG is comprised of the Carrier Strike Group 10 staff, Destroyer Squadron 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 USS Monterey (CG 61) and the ships assigned to DESRON 26: guided-missile destroyers USS Stout (DDG 55), USS Roosevelt (DDG 80), Mason and USS Nitze (DDG 94).

The crew was also afforded the opportunity to get some exercise and cheer on their shipmates in rugby, basketball, softball and soccer games with local Bahraini teams.

“I had so much fun out there with all the guys,” Electrician’s Mate Fireman Daniel Lewis said. “I got to play rugby before, but I’m glad I got to contribute to the team.”

KEEP ON DREAMING: IS THERE LIFE AFTER TERMINAL LEAVE?

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military spouse contributor

Ever since my retired Navy husband, Francis, went on terminal leave, I’ve been having some pretty weird dreams.

Nowadays, some prefer to use the label “transition leave” because it sounds a little less like someone is about to die, but no matter whether one uses the ominous traditional term or the newfangled sugarcoated expression, both describe the same thing: the period of accrued leave – up to 75 days – that a service member can take before his or her final separation from the military.

Some lucky military service members line up good civilian jobs before their leave time begins, making leave a veritable vacation.

Others sail through their leave without a care in the world knowing they can survive comfortably on their military retirement pay due to independent wealth, or a spouse with a wicked good job, or an absence of major bills like mortgages and college tuition.

But then there are people like us.

We have a dog scheduled for expensive knee surgery, two kids with private college tuition, one child who goes over the data limit on her phone every month, a minivan with 180,000 miles on it and a funny rattling noise in the wheel well, tired old furniture in desperate need of replacement, and an embarrassing amount of accumulated debt.

I could claim that my writing career will carry us, but then again, I could also declare that monkeys will fly out of my belly-button.

So, it’s a given: Francis has to get a new job

Make sure your children’s eyes are developing properly

before his terminal leave ends and he stops receiving a paycheck from Uncle Sam. During this transition in our lives, we could either fight the psychosomatic effects of stress, or embrace them. Did you know that nail biting actually saves wear and tear on clippers? Facial ticks are a form of exercise.

Wine actually tastes pretty good on Tuesday afternoons. Diarrhea can be quite cleansing.

And terminal leave nightmares are kind of fun to interpret.

In this week’s nightmare, I had a big, sprawling house with lots of rooms. And even though it was my house, I was surprised by several hidden hallways, staircases and bedrooms. At some point, I became aware that I had houseguests. Dozens of them. The house suddenly looked cluttered and dirty. The dream turned chaotic, as I tried desperately to play hostess the hoard of guests. I was frantic to find them all clean towels, bedrooms and baths in the complicated maze of my mysterious house. Just before I woke up, I discovered that the bathrooms were infested with gobs and gobs of slimy black mold.

I couldn’t wait to ask Google what my bizarre nightmare was all about.

Apparently, “new room” dreams are actually quite common. According to www.DreamMoods.com and most other online dream interpretation sources, a house represents “self” or “inner psyche,” and finding new rooms in that house can indicate that the dreamer is facing something new or unknown about himself or herself. Finding dirty or cluttered rooms implies that some aspect of the dreamer’s life is in chaos. It can also mean that the dreamer

August is Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month. Children have several common eye problems. Being aware of them will help you make sure that your children’s eyes are healthy and that their vision is protected.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, amblyopia, or “lazy eye”, is the most common cause of vision problems in children. “Lazy eye” occurs when the brain favors using one eye over the other. About two to three percent of people have amblyopia.

It is the most common cause of permanent vision impairment among children, young and middle-aged adults and there are several causes such as strabismus – associated with eyes that cross – and astigmatism.

Cross-eyes occur when the position of the eyes is imbalanced. This imbalance makes the eyes cross in or turn out which causes the affected person to appear to

is suffering from some emotional or psychological clutter, and needs to release these feelings in order to regain control.

What other common dreams may appear during stressful transitions in life?

Teeth falling out can indicate problems with confidence or self-expression. Being late to or forgetting to study for a school exam implies that the dreamer feels judged or unprepared for a challenge. Dreams of falling happen when one feels unsupported or outof-control, but are also linked to a “fall from grace.” Dreams of being naked in public can indicate shame, fear of exposure, and vulnerability. Being chased in a dream can represent fear that a secret, an addiction, or a debt may catch up with you. Dreaming of being in an out-of-control vehicle can indicate a lack of direction in life.

But interestingly, flying often indicates that the dreamer is feeling empowered and optimistic.

So, for those who have recently retired from the military or are considering retirement, never fear. Even if you find yourself toothless on a date, naked in church, late for a Calculus exam, or being chased by wolverines, remember that it’s only a dream. One day soon terminal leave will be over, and with any luck, you’ll be flying high.

look in different directions and not focus on the same point at the same time. When the eyes can’t focus on the same image then depth perception is reduced. Depth perception is the ability to know where an object is based on where it is in your field of vision. If left untreated, the brain might learn to ignore one eye. This can lead to permanent vision loss in the eye that is being ignored.

Astigmatism is a common vision condition that causes blurred vision. It occurs when the cornea – the clear front cover of the eye – is irregularly shaped.

There are treatments available for both lazy eye – strabismus – and cross-eyes – amblyopia. One common treatment involves patching the dominant eye to encourage the brain to use the other eye, according to the National Eye Institute. Your child’s eye would only have to be patched for two to six hours a day. Another common treatment is the use of eye drops that temporarily blur vision in the dominant eye.

These therapies typically last a few weeks to a few months and can prevent years of potential vision loss. Your child’s doctor should check for amblyopia and strabismus during well-child visits. You may take your child to an optometrist or ophthalmologist to screen for eye health as well.

Routine eye exams are part of well-child visits.

TRICARE covers well-child visits up to age six.

MV Ocean Glory rescues distressed fisherman

By Grady Fontana MV Ocean Glory Public Affairs AT SEA

Military Sealift Command’s (MSC) voyagecharter MV Ocean Glory rescued an Indonesian fisherman in the vicinity of the Bali Strait while en route to Banyuwangi, Indonesia, Aug. 14.

“I stepped onto the bridge fully expecting to take a routine arrival a few hours later into the Port of Tanjungwangi, Indonesia,” merchant marine and master of Ocean Glory Capt. Christopher Hill said. “Instead, the officer of the watch reported a man standing atop an overturned, outrigger fishing boat.”

The fisherman and the remains of his boat were caught in a strong current and were quickly being swept out of the Bali Strait and into the open, unfrequented Indian Ocean.

“Later, I would learn that the small boat had capsized the previous day in a squall and that the lone fisherman had been adrift in very rough seas for about 20 hours before Ocean Glory’s arrival on scene,” Hill said.

Ocean Glory notified the Indonesian coast guard, and attempted to pass a lifejacket via ship’s heaving line to the distressed fisherman while waiting on station for confirmation of coast guard assistance.

In the process of passing the heaving line and while waiting for local coast guard to arrive, it became apparent the fisherman could not wait to be rescued, according to Hill.

“He lost his footing on the upside-down boat and took to the water holding only the bitter end of the ship’s heaving line,” Hill said. “The ship’s pilot ladder was quickly rigged and all hands on deck worked together and with quick precision to drag the fisherman at the end of the heaving line alongside the ship’s hull, thence to the ladder.”

Upon reaching the ladder, the man in the water let go of the heaving line and began to climb. After hours stranded at sea and as soon as he was on

the decks of Ocean Glory, he collapsed and was quickly taken to medical.

“While being treated for exhaustion and dehydration by ship’s medical officer, he tearfully thanked everyone around him without knowing or needing a word of English and insisted, even in his weakened condition, on shaking everyone’s hands ... he was so thankful to be alive,” Hill said.

An Indonesian ambulance and medical team came aboard as soon as the gangway was down in Tanjungwangi. The shore-side medical team transported the survivor to the hospital for further medical treatment.

“But not before the ship’s crew and on-board members of the U.S. Army passed the hat,” Hill said.

Through donations, they provided the unexpected shipmate with shoes, clothes and money to help speed his recovery and his return home.

Ocean Glory, a commercial, multi-purpose, heavy-lift ship from Intermarine had been sailing under a MSC charter for the previous few months in support of Pacific Pathways (PP) 16-2, a U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC) mobility operation that supports three USARPAC exercises and links them into a single operation by using a single MSC commercial vessel to carry a designated task force and their force package equipment for the entire duration. PP16-2 was supporting exercises’ Hanuman Guardian in Thailand, Keris Strike in Malaysia, and Garuda Shield in Indonesia.

PP16-2 was a combined operation between the U.S. Army and each of the armed forces of Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia – where the last of the U.S. Army’s equipment was back loaded for return to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and Tacoma, Washington.

MSC operates approximately 115 non-combatant, civilian-crewed ships that replenish Navy ships, conduct specialized missions, strategically preposition combat cargo at sea around the world, and move military cargo and supplies used by deployed U.S. forces and coalition partners.

B4 | www.flagshipnews.com | The Flagship | 8.25.2016 Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert performs a group reenlistment during an all-hands call with Navy Region Hawaii Sailors at Naval Station Pearl Harbor.

Obligated service requirements help fleet readiness From Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs MILLINGTON, TENN.

Navy Personnel Command (NPC) recently released guidance to the fleet on obligated service (OBLISERV) requirements that helps stabilize fleet manning and minimize personnel uncertainty.

NPC policy states Sailors must obtain the required OBLISERV – either detailed in their orders or as defined in MILPERMAN 1306106 Page 6 – within 30 days of receipt of orders and prior to executing permanent change of station (PCS) orders.

If OBLISERV has not been met 35 days after orders have been released, then a general administration (GENADMIN) note will be sent to all applicable commands.

“OBLISERV is required before reassignment to ensure Sailors complete their tour,” NPC Force Master Chief Tuck Williams said.

“This GENADMIN will advise Sailors to expedite reenlistment [or] extension, let NPC know if there are any constraints, or if an extension waiver is required.”

The new guidance provides predictability to both the Sailor and the detailers. The Sailor knows where he or she is being assigned and for how long, while the commands know the billet has been filled.

“Having the guidance helps detailers have a predictable manning environment,” Williams said. “It is the transferring command’s responsibility to ensure Sailors have necessary required service to execute orders.”

When considering members for PCS transfer, detailers must consider time on station and retainability – the minimum amount of active OBLISERV a member must have upon arrival at a new duty station after a PCS transfer – requirements of Sailors.

“In the end, it is up to the Sailor whether they reenlist or extend, but every Sailor should communicate their desires to the command career counselor and detailer,” Williams said.

Navy announces adjustments to timein-grade waiver policy From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs WASHINGTON

The Navy announced an update to the policy for commanders and captains with at least 24-months time in grade (TIG) to request a waiver to retire at their current rank before completing their 36 month time-in-grade commitment in NAVADMIN 182/16, Aug. 17.

Rather than a blanket authorization for officer communities to forward a TIG request to the chief of naval personnel for approval determination as outlined in NAVADMIN 371/08, now every officer community will decide if TIG requests can be supported and only forward a request for consideration if community health would allow the early loss of that officer. However, hardship or special circumstance cases may be considered for all communities on a case-by-case basis.

The message also provides guidance on when an applicant should include a next-lower-grade (NLG) waiver request in the TIG waiver application. NLG waivers provide the option to retire at the next lower grade rather than the current rank. Navy Personnel Command (NPC) may authorize an officer to be retired the lower grade if they do not meet the time-in-grade requirement.

PROVIDING EXCELLENCE IN THE AO RATING

By MC2 Kyle Carlstrom USS Bonhomme Richard Public Affairs SASEBO, JAPAN

U.S. Navy Photo Illustration Photo illustration announcing that Military Sealift Command fleet oiler, T-AO 206, will be named USNS Harvey Milk.

SECNAV names newest fleet replenishment oiler USNS Harvey Milk From Secretary of the Navy Public Affairs SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF.

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced Aug. 16, that the second ship of the next generation of fleet replenishment oilers (T-AO 206) will be named USNS Harvey Milk, after the civil and human rights leader who became one of the first openly gay elected officials in the U.S. when he won a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977.

The announcement was made at a shipnaming ceremony in San Francisco.

“The future USNS Harvey Milk will play a vital role in the mission of our Navy and Marine Corps while also forging a new path in fleet replenishment,” said Mabus. “Naming this ship after Harvey Milk is a fitting tribute to a man who had been at the forefront of advocating for civil and human rights.

Milk graduated from New York State College for Teachers – now State University of New York– in Albany, in 1951 and enlisted

in the Navy. He attended Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island, and subsequently was based in San Diego, California, where he served as a diving instructor.

In 1955, he was discharged with the rank of lieutenant junior grade.

After becoming a leading political spokesman for the gay community, he was elected as a San Francisco City-County Supervisor in 1977. His career was cut short when he was assassinated nearly a year after taking office.

“T-AO 206 will, for decades to come, serve as a visible legacy of Harvey Milk’s committed service to his nation, both as a Sailor and as an activist. By adorning one of our ships with his name, his example will live on in the steel of that ship and in all those who will serve aboard her,” Mabus said.

The future USNS Harvey Milk will be operated by Military Sealift Command and provide underway replenishment of fuel and stores to U.S. Navy ships at sea and jet fuel for aircraft assigned to aircraft carriers. Construction is expected to begin in 2018.

Established 90 years ago, the aviation ordnanceman (AO) rating has a lot of history and tradition. Technical experts in aircraft weapons, they’re in charge of storing, servicing, inspecting and handling all types of weapons and ammunition carried aboard naval aircraft.

Over the past week, amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) took on more than 1,000 pallets with more than 1 million pounds of ammo and ordnance. The evolution took nearly two days, bringing munitions from a barge to the hangar bay to be transferred to the ship’s magazines.

In order for this to happen, Weapons Department required the expertise of all their Sailors, including Aviation Ordnanceman Airman Elliot Jones.

“It’s really intense; it’s been quite an experience,” Jones said. “I’m learning a lot more than I ever imagined. I’m working with great people and getting the experience. This [ammo onload] is our biggest evolution on this platform as an AO. I’m working with a lot of great people and I’m really excited to be here. This has been my dream to come out here and serve my country.”

As a new AO aboard Bonhomme Richard, Jones said he is constantly looking to improve himself and going into his first onload, he felt fully equipped for the job.

“I feel like I was exceptionally well prepared for today’s evolution,” Jones said. “I’ve been given the best training on the background and details of handling ordnance. I’ve been shown the works by people who have been doing this for years and years. They have the experience and expertise.”

Prior to the evolution, Jones said he did everything he could to become as qualified as possible, and said it was because of those around him.

“I’ve been given the right recommendations — the right routes to become qualified in all there is to be qualified in,” Jones said. “I rest assured [knowing] I’m in good hands and I couldn’t be happier

with my crew. I’m safe with my crew.”

During the onload, Bonhomme Richard’s Weapons Department, G-1 Division leading chief petty officer Chief Aviation Ordnanceman Richard Delgado noticed Jones’ strong desire to do the job to the best of his abilities and his persistence.

“He has an incredibly strong work ethic,” Delgado said. “He’s extremely professional. For this being his first onload, his work is stellar. He’s definitely stood out.”

With all the history within the AO rating, Jones admits he did not know too much about the rating when he enlisted.

“I knew very little to nothing about Navy rates, much less what any of the acronyms meant going into the military entrance processing station,” Jones said. “I was really just so happy and excited to be going into the military that you probably could have sold me on anything. One of my recruiters – not my primary, but my secondary recruiter is an AO. He always told me about how happy he was with his job.”

Choosing AO turned out to be a great choice, according to Jones.

“He told me that I would see the world because this rate would take me different places,” Jones said. “He told me about what the job entailed and that if it was offered to me, I should jump at the opportunity. It actually was the first rate offered to me. I simply told them that it sounded great. I am confident that this has put me in the right direction. I’m in, I’m serving my country, and it’s for the right reasons.”

The future is wide open for Jones and he looks forward to not only learning more about the rate, but the traditions of the Navy and Bonhomme Richard.

“I’m learning about the culture of the ship, and how things are done,” Jones said. “This is years and years of tradition and experience, way before anyone here was even alive. This [Navy tradition] has been passed down for generations. What I’m learning today has been built by the experience of millions of people. I hope to take on as much as I can and to one day pass on something new to people I train.”

Down to the wire: ONR researchers and new bacteria

By Warren Duffie Jr. Office of Naval Research Public Affairs ARLINGTON, VA.

Scientists sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) have genetically modified a common soil bacteria to create electrical wires that not only conduct electricity, but are thousands of times thinner than a human hair.

As electronic devices increasingly touch all facets of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives, there is growing appetite for technology that is smaller, faster and more mobile and powerful than ever before. Thanks to advances in nanotechnology â&#x20AC;&#x201C; manipulating matter on an atomic or molecular scale â&#x20AC;&#x201C; industry can manufacture materials only billionths of a meter in thickness.

The ONR-sponsored researchers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; led by microbiologist Dr. Derek Lovley at the University of Massachusetts Amherst â&#x20AC;&#x201C; say their engineered wires can be produced using renewable green energy resources like solar energy, carbon dioxide or plant waste; are made of non-toxic, natural proteins; and avoid harsh chemical processes typically used to create nanoelectronic materials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Research like Dr. Lovleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s could lead to the development of new electronic materials to meet the increasing demand for smaller, more powerful computing devices,â&#x20AC;? program officer in ONRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Warfighter Performance Department Dr. Linda Chrisey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being able to produce extremely thin wires with sustainable materials has enormous potential application as components of electronic devices such as sensors, transistors and capacitors.â&#x20AC;?

The centerpiece of Lovleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is Geobacter, a bacteria that produces microbial nanowires â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hair-like protein filaments protruding from the organism â&#x20AC;&#x201C; enabling it to make electrical connections with the iron oxides that support its growth in the ground. Although Geobacter naturally carries enough electricity for its own survival, the current is too weak for human use, but is enough to be measured with electrodes.

Lovleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team tweaked the bacteriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s genetic makeup to replace two amino acids naturally present in the wires with tryptophan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is blamed, incorrectly, some say â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for the sleepiness that results from too much Thanksgiving turkey. Food allegations aside, tryptophan actually is very good at transporting electrons in the nanoscale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we learned more about how the microbial nanowires worked, we realized it

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

This is just one project of many programs that The Bridge has fostered with its core concept of turning all 140,000 Sailors in PACFLT into innovators, replacing innovation cells with a bridge from the deckplates to -PACFLT Commander Adm. Scott Swift innovation opportunities.â&#x20AC;?

Photo courtesy of Dr. Derek Lovley Scientists sponsored by the Office of Naval Research have genetically engineered a new strain of bacteria, found naturally in dirt, to create electrical wires that not only conduct electricity, but also rival the thinnest wires known to humanity. The nanowires could have a great impact on the future force, contributing to everything from smaller electronic devices to alternative fuels.

might be possible to improve on natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design,â&#x20AC;? Lovley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We rearranged the amino acids to produce a synthetic nanowire that we thought might be more conductive. We hoped that Geobacter might still form nanowires and double their conductivity.â&#x20AC;?

The results surpassed the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expectations as the synthetic, tryptophaninfused nanowires were 2,000 times more conductive than their natural counterparts.

And they were more durable and much smaller, with a diameter of 1.5 nanometers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; over 60,000 times thinner than a human hair â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which means that thousands of nanowires could possibly be stored in the tiniest spaces.

Lovley and Chrisey both say these ultra-miniature nanowires have numerous potential applications as electronic and computing devices continue to shrink in size. For example, they might be installed in medical sensors, where their sensitivity to pH changes can monitor heart rate or kidney function.

From a military perspective, the nanowires could feed electrical currents to specially engineered microbes to create butanol, an alternative fuel. This would be particularly useful in remote locations like Afghanistan, where fuel convoys are often attacked and it costs hundreds of dollars per gallon to ship fuel to warfighters.

Lovleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nanowires also may play a crucial role in powering highly sensitive microbes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which could be placed on a silicon chip and attached to unmanned vehicles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that could sense the presence of pollutants, toxic chemicals or explosives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an exciting time to be on the cutting edge of creating new types of electronics materials,â&#x20AC;? Lovley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that we can do this with sustainable, renewable materials makes it even more rewarding.â&#x20AC;?

Lovleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research is part of ONRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts in synthetic biology, which creates or re-engineers microbes or other organisms to perform specific tasks like improving health and physical performance.

The field is a top ONR research priority because of its potential far-ranging impact on warfighter performance and fleet capabilities.

Cyber Security Internship Pilot Program promotes innovation

By MC2 Tamara Vaughn U.S. Pacific Fleet Public Affairs PEARL HARBOR, HAWAII

Just by looking at where we are today, we can already see how powerful technology is shaping our world. Through the years, scientists have developed cutting-edge technologies intended to make life a lot more convenient with rapid innovation and advancement.

Especially in the 21st century, our current way of life always seems out of date as soon as the newest app or gadget comes out. The introduction of â&#x20AC;&#x153;new-fangledâ&#x20AC;? technology, especially in the fields of cyber information and security, has radically altered the world in so many ways and created new opportunities and challenges along the way.

U.S. Pacific Fleet (PACFLT) is working to keep up with the demands of an everchanging world with the kickoff of a new pilot internship program. In partnership with a program titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bridgeâ&#x20AC;? launched in February and the MD5 National Security Technology Accelerator at the National Defense University, the pilot program provides opportunities for junior officers and enlisted Sailors in the field of cyber security technology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just one project of many programs that The Bridge has fostered with its core concept of turning all 140,000 Sailors in PACFLT into innovators, replacing innovation cells with a bridge from

the deckplates to innovation opportunities,â&#x20AC;? PACFLT Commander Adm. Scott Swift said.

A team of four Sailors led by Lt. j.g. John Vincent Deniega, attached to Navy Information Operations Command, Hawaii, were the first selected for this pilot program â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which offers a unique combination of academic mentoring and valuable real-world experience working with leading experts in the field. The four Sailors compete against college-level interns in co-educational competitions using the latest research, technology and developments by applying them strategically and tactically in real-world scenarios against cyber attacks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not sure if I was just lucky enough to have three proactive and brilliant Sailors on my team,â&#x20AC;? Deniega said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They demonstrated they were ready to exceed expectations from day one. My job as team lead was simple â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ensure my team had what they needed in order to own their tasks, keep eyes down the calendar, and unify the technology with a deliverable business strategy.â&#x20AC;?

The Navy team has won its first six competitions, demonstrating to the other interns, industries, and the local college directors who have visited as judges, that the Navy is a key player in the cyber security field. According to Deniega a few interns have actually started asking questions about how to join the Navy ranks either in the military or civil service side.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although we are mostly the same age as these college students we are competing against, we are all slightly older and the levels of work ethic and determination vary drastically,â&#x20AC;? team member Cryptologic Technician (Networks) 2nd Class Tyler Fulkerson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being in the Navy, we have been working full time on top of taking college classes and developing skills relevant to our rate. So when a task is assigned or a goal needs to be met we have no issue hitting target, simply because we are all experienced in this fast-paced and demanding environment. We come out on top by appropriately assigning roles and jobs due to strengths in skills, and that really fast tracks our work here.â&#x20AC;?

The Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team continues to lead the charge. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve developed potentially viable products that have captured the attention of industry, academia, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The work our internship project is doing and the milestones they are achieving surpass my expectations,â&#x20AC;? Swift said.

As an added benefit of the internship effort, this pilot program succeeded in showing industry professionals and college students Sailors can set the pace. The team is expected to participate in a final â&#x20AC;&#x153;showâ&#x20AC;? to present their inventions and innovations in front of a panel of investors, Aug. 17.

NHHC Underwater Archaeology Branch displays WWII rifle

More than Navy recruiters: Forging a team, impacting a community

An M1 Garand rifle used by U.S. Marine Corps Raiders during the World War II attack on Japanese military forces on Makin Island is at Naval History and Heritage Command’s (NHHC) Underwater Archaeology Branch.

Due to the rifle’s significant surface concretions, corrosion and other physical damage, the branch is performing an assessment of the artifacts stability.

MC1 Arif Patani

By MC1 Timothy Walter Navy Recruiting District Nashville Public Affairs NASHVILLE, TENN.

A firefighter, a bomb builder, and a man who studies dots on a screen walk into an office just outside of Nashville. They sit down each day and work a very different job – putting people in the Navy. The paperwork and community interactions are a far cry from the high-stakes skill craft that they each display on the seas. Still, they deliver despite the change of pace and the change of work, and they don’t stop there.

Whether it’s at a retirement ceremony, or during the national anthem at a hockey game, or even the massive stadium of the Tennessee Titans, these three Sailors from Navy Recruiting Station Rivergate, Tennessee, are some of the most visible faces of the Navy in a town known more for country music than its naval connections.

As members of Navy Recruiting District (NRD) Nashville’s color guard, they regularly spend their off time making an impression on the community. They often receive thanks, which are followed by the common refrain: “What’s the Navy doing in Tennessee?”

The truth is that the Navy, in the case of these Sailors, came out of a Tennessee.

Damage Controlman 2nd Class Jamie Parker grew up in Memphis, Tennessee.

Aviation Ordnanceman 2nd Class Allen Barreto hails from the opposite side of the state in Knoxville, Tennessee. And the leader of the group, Operations Specialist 1st Class James Miller was raised in a little suburb just outside of Music City called La

Vergne, Tennessee.

But saying that each is from Tennessee and thus the same is like saying that because each is in the Navy that they all rig sails. The state, like the service, is much more complicated. In fact, the flag of Tennessee has three stars to represent what is known as the three grand divisions of east, middle and west Tennessee. Each division’s main city happens to be where these Sailors call home. The different regions represent very disparate areas of culture, demographics and identity. Somehow, through fate or fortune, these three met in the middle just outside Nashville in Madison, Tennessee.

Sitting in the office which is tucked in a strip mall, they call themselves a team.

“I’ve never been so excited to just come into work each day,” Miller said. “I literally wake up excited and start compiling a list of what we can get accomplished. They are just as excited to try to get done everything I come up with. They put it into action and make it all work.”

As the leading petty officer of Rivergate, Miller is charged with setting the pace and managing the station. He transferred to the office in October 2015, after spending time at another station in the division for several months. It was a move that he was at first unsure about and then grew to love. Things just clicked when he joined up with the Parker and Barreto. The team was recently recognized as the best large station of the quarter within the command. Considering

how much they see each other both as recruiters and color guard members, Miller said he is surprised at how well the chemistry continues to work.

“It would be possible to get sick of each other but not here. They always put in the extra effort and make mission first,” Miller said.

Jokes fly around the office and laughter often punctuates the normal hum of the community printer and clicking of keyboards. It’s an office space without the feel of an office, more like a locker room getting for the game. When future Sailors walk in, each recruiter has a unique story to share.

For Parker, that story might be a steam leak. As a damage controlman, he is charged with helping to protect a ship from fire and flooding, not to mention chemical, biological and radiological attacks.

One time, steam was the enemy he faced.

Normally, it powered the catapults that help sling aircraft off the flight deck. On this day, it threatened to rip apart the ship with fire.

“Waking up at 2 a.m. in morning to combat that casualty, my heart was pounding.

The fire jumped out and surprised us, but I was able to find and use a hot water hose in the compartment and put it out. Instead of having all these drills, it was like actually getting in the game.”

The pace of being a firefighter is what Parker said he missed most. Yet, he has found other ways to keep the tempo going.

When he’s not marching on a field in his dress uniform with the color guard, he is working on his bachelor’s degree in business management or helping to run the audio production for a local artist, plus he has a side job in real estate.

“I am always trying to learn as much as possible,” Parker said.

In fact, each member of Rivergate is pursuing a degree and Miller is only one class away from completing his in finance.

The motivation for success is shared equally among them. For Barreto it is a link that reminds him of the flight deck where he would assemble and load bombs for the aircraft.

“It’s a different tempo but the same camaraderie,” Barreto said. “I compare it to being a part of football team. Everyone is working hard out there together. At the end of the day you are tired and sweating but everyone put in good work and got the job done.”

When someone asks Miller about his job, he starts talking about radio frequencies and radar screens and dives into the subject with zeal.

“It’s a lot of fun,” NRD Nashville’s Sailor of the Quarter Miller said. “Always knowing where you are in the ocean and what is going to happen next is a real advantage to the rate.”

Miller has carried that zeal from sea to shore and found a new reason to love the Navy in the process.

“I joined the Navy and didn’t know what an operations specialist did. I didn’t care about what job I was going to be doing,” Miller said. “Ultimately, I just wanted to be in the Navy so I could have the opportunity to go to college. That was eight years ago, now I want to stay in for the leadership opportunities.”

The Sailors of Rivergate each impact the community as they visit schools and simply show up in their uniform. When they prepare for their color guard presentations the effect goes both ways.

“It gives you a little bit more of that pride you first had in boot camp because you get to go out and represent something more than yourself,” Barreto said.

Miller added that it is a good way to remind himself of the duty he has to show the Navy in the best possible light.

“As soon as you start putting on the color guard accessories, you’re a lot more focused on military bearing and making sure everyone is in step,” Miller said.

The change reveals itself in moment like a call to attention with a spoken word.

The smiles turn serious and their bodies straighten up. Their hands tighten and they stare straight ahead. Suddenly, a few normal Sailors become something else, some more as they begin their march holding the flag of their country. It’s a melding of mind for brief time and out of many different backgrounds, they become one.

“It’s three of us in a city of thousands of people. But when you have a few people on the same page going forward together, you simply don’t need as many people to accomplish a goal,” Parker said.

NRD Nashville is one of 13 districts which make up Navy Recruiting Region East. More than 100,000 square miles are assigned to NRD Nashville including counties in Tennessee, Arkansas, northern Alabama, northern Georgia, northern Mississippi, southern Kentucky and Southwestern Virginia.

Statement of cooperation signing in Australia aims to advance biofuels development

SPS | Trip focused on Zika,

preventative treatments Continued from B1 Honduras,” SPS’s medical team leader Lt. Cmdr. Patrick McKenna said. “As we went through the planning process our ideas evolved. Our initial focus was on women’s health and water issues, but when Zika became a world issue, we shifted our focus.”

SPS’s medical team is equipped with entomologists specializing in mosquitoes, clinical nurses, preventive medical personnel, and a gynecologist.

“When it comes to the Zika [virus] and preventive medicine, it’s not a one-stop deal,” medial team’s gynecologist Cmdr. Tony Silvetti said. “To change the environment, we have to change the mindset.

We have to educate the kids, talk to the adults, and work with our medical subject matter experts.”

Silvetti came to Honduras with a goal to educate as many people as possible about the various environmental diseases caused by sanitation issues. He didn’t intend to only consult patients during the mission, but reach out to the youth popu-

lation through child-friendly training.

To maximize the team’s outreach, the Navy’s personnel partnered with the nonprofit organization, Operation Blessing. Honduras National Director Hilda Romero leads Operation Blessing, and her organization provided a bridge between the U.S. service members and the people of Honduras.

“We’re in the middle of this crisis, preventing Zika, and when the military asked the locals what they could do to help, we said that there was plenty to do,” Romero said.

To achieve the goal of reducing Zika, Operation Blessing has began implementing biological pesticides to limit mosquito larva development.

The organization gives Monte Verde villagers tortoises and tilapia that are trained to eat mosquito larva to place in their standing water for washing clothes. Without these animals, the mosquito breeding rate would exceed 40 percent, increasing the risk for mosquito-borne illnesses.

Romero said she believed the U.S. service members and Hondurans could learn from

BOXER | Connelly: “I

definitely pushed myself with this qualification” Continued from B1 first female to qualify as master helmsman aboard Boxer in the past decade.

“I think it is pretty awesome, I definitely pushed myself with this qualification,” Connelly said. “You have to stand a lot of watches under instruction, drive during special evolutions; it takes a lot of practice. I improved with time. It was frustrating at times, but knowing that I am the first female to qualify on board Boxer in the past ten years I hope that it can inspire other females in deck department or other departments to push for higher goals.”

Connelly said goal-setting helped her plan and pursue this accomplishment.

“As soon as I learned about this qualification I immediately knew I had to get it, it was one of my top goals for this deployment,” Connelly said. “I felt really comfortable on the helm, it’s something I enjoy doing. I enjoy standing watch on the bridge, seeing the captain, the [executive officer] and all the junior officer’s, it makes me feel a sense of importance.”

A challenge to obtaining this qualification for Connelly was the series of pre-requisite qualifications obtained only while underway.

“To get the Master Helmsman qualification you have to be underway watch qualified, normal underway helm and look-out qualified,” Connelly said. “All those qualifications take several weeks to get.”

Deck department’s lead petty officer Boatswain’s Mate 1st Class Carl Bethea believes it takes a strong focus and a lot of responsibility to become a master helmsman.

“Being a master helmsman is very challenging,” Bethea said. “It requires that qualified Sailors steer the ship during the most strenuous times for example: underway replenishments, pulling in and out of port, straits transits, harbor transits, all of the challenging tasks that take a great amount of concentration and focus.”

The qualification process takes a lot of patience and determination due to all the prerequisite qualifications and lengthy duration involved.

“First it starts off with the pre-reqs of be-

each other. She explained how the people of Monte Verde live a very different life, where water and medical attention isn’t always readily accessible. Many of the practices used in Honduras are not conventional for many Americans.

“This has been just the first few days and I feel like we accomplished a lot,” McKenna said. “As long as we strengthen this relationship, that in itself will be a success.”

ing lookout, lee helmsman, helmsman and aft steering helmsman qualified,” Bethea said.

“The estimated time of completion is twenty three weeks. This qualification is huge in the [captain, executive officer], and navigator’s eyes as well. They are on the bridge during every major evolution ensuring that every task from the master helmsman is executed flawlessly. You have to have confidence and be consistent in everything that you do to obtain this qualification.”

After standing helm watch aboard Boxer for several weeks and completing all of the personnel qualification standards, Connelly earned the coveted Master Helmsman qualification.

“Connelly and I have stood a lot of watches together,” Lt. j.g. Caitlin Fine said. “Both in the regular watch rotation and during stressful special evolutions like [underway replenishments], strait transits, and pulling into and out of ports.”

Connelly’s dedication is recognized by many throughout Boxer’s deckplates and those she stands watch with.

“Her tenacity and dedication impressed me from the first time I met her,” Fine said. “When she volunteered, after full days of command indoctrination or work in deck department, to come up to the bridge and be helmsman under instruction, she learned quickly and became one of the helms that I, as a bridge watchstander, trusted to understand how the ship moves and execute commands perfectly every time, even under pressure.”

Sailors face many challenges throughout their careers, for a master helmsman the entire watch is a constant challenge.

“The most challenging aspect of steering underway watch is definitely keeping mental focus and realizing the bigger picture,” Connelly said. “I need to do this right because it affects the safety of the ship.”

Connelly admits that this qualification isn’t easy, but she offered advice for anyone interested in pursuing it.

“Stay focused and don’t get frustrated, it comes with time,” Connelly said. “I wasn’t great at it at first. I definitely had pre-game jitters before going up there the first time.

Knowing that I am driving the ship during an [underway replenishment] and we are two hundred yards from another ship is a little scary but you have to overcome that and keep your head in the game.”

JAPAN | Williamson presented a rungu stick to Inada Continued from B1 The official visit to Camp Lemonnier gave Inada the opportunity to get a firsthand look at the installation expansion efforts. It was also an opportunity to meet key leadership, including the U.S. Embassy Charge d’affaires a.i., Christina Higgins; Commander of Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia (EURAFSWA) Rear Adm. Rick Williamson; and outgoing Camp Lemonnier Commanding Officer Capt. Geoffrey Colpitts.

Inada was greeted by the entire leadership staff upon

her arrival to Camp Lemonnier. She was given a guided tour of the installation and its facilities. The final stop of the tour was at the Dorie Miller 5-Star Galley.

An exchange of gifts occurred at the conclusion of the tour. Williamson presented a rungu stick to Inada, which is a traditional wooden throwing club or baton bearing special symbolism and significance in certain East African tribal cultures. The stick also bore the region EURAFSWA coin on one side and the Camp Lemonnier commanding officer’s coin on the other.

This was Inada’s first trip to

the Horn of Africa since she assumed office as minister of defense, Aug. 3.

Camp Lemonnier provides, operates, and sustains superior service in support of combat readiness along with security of ships, aircraft detachments and personnel for regional and combat command requirements, enabling operations for the Horn of Africa while fostering positive U.S.-African nation relations. Camp Lemonnier enables the forward operations and responsiveness of U.S. and allied forces in support of Navy Region, Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia’s mission to

A statement of cooperation between the U.S. Navy and the northeastern state of Queensland, Australia, was the culmination of a week of Great Green Fleet events in Australia to promote the U.S. Navy’s energy efficiency and alternative energy initiatives.

Queensland’s Premiere Annastacia Palaszczuk and U.S. Deputy Under Secretary of the Navy for Management Thomas Hicks signed a Statement of Cooperation to work together in support of projects that advance shared interests in alternative fuel development, Aug 17.

Both officials signed the Statement of Cooperation shortly after meeting and discussing energy security and the Great Green Fleet initiative.

The signing “memorializes” several years of progress and “what’s to come,” Hicks told reporters immediately after the signing at the Parliament House.

“That’s what’s most exciting for us, is how these fuels that are developed here can be used not only for ourselves, but in private industry as well.”

The document spells out a commitment for the U.S. Navy and Queensland to hold discussions on the research, development, supply and sale of alternative fuels, which can improve operational flexibility and increase energy security. The Statement of Cooperation is not a legally binding commitment and does not create a legal relationship between the U.S. Navy and Queensland.

“We look forward to what the future holds in working together as we go forward,” Hicks said.

Earlier in the week, Hicks called the Great Green Fleet initiative “the new normal” in his remarks to Royal Australian navy officials and industry representatives at an event aboard Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Stethem (DDG 63) Aug. 15, while the ship was conducting a port visit in Sydney, Australia, to promote the Great Green Fleet initiative. Additionally, Stethem held a roundtable aboard for eight professionals working in the clean energy sector, and sent personnel to speak to roughly 40 high school students at the Powerhouse Museum, a

received briefings on Navy Cyberspace Operations Continued from B1 Information Warfare community and the need for each generation of Sailors to leave behind a solid legacy upon which their successors can grow.

“Our job is to ensure that we leave a legacy for the next generation of Sailors in which the path forward is clearer and the light is a little bit brighter,” Stevens said.

Richardson and Stevens also used the occasion to recognize the Sailors of the year from both FCC/C10F and Navy Information Operations Command (NIOC) Maryland.

“I felt very honored and humbled to be recognized by the CNO and the MCPON; I didn’t expect it, but it felt great,” Sailor of the Year for FCC/C10F Chief (select) Yeoman Demetrius Martinez said. “Most importantly, I had my shipmates beside me and also cheering me in the crowd and that felt good.”

CNO and MCPON spent the majority of the time interacting with the group and answering questions from the Sailors and civilians in the audience on a wide range of topics, from the manning and uniforms to information assurance for fleetwide communities.

After receiving a question about in-

major branch of the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences in Sydney, about how the U.S. Navy is transforming its energy use to increase combat capability. The visit coincided with National Science Week in Australia.

During Hicks’ five-day visit to Australia, he also met with high-ranking Royal Australian navy officials, the U.S. ambassador, industry leaders, academia, and caucus members at the Queensland Parliament to highlight the U.S. Navy’s commitment to alternative energy and energy efficiency measures, learn about new developments in the alternative fuels industry in Australia, and to urge greater research on the benefits of alternative fuel.

The yearlong Great Green Fleet initiative deployed in early 2016 to highlight how energy efficient technology and procedures and alternative energy can provide increased combat capability and flexibility in an operational environment – essentially enabling U.S. Navy ships to go farther, stay longer and deliver more firepower.

Many U.S. Navy ships operating in the Pacific Ocean this year have been powered by an alternative fuel blend containing 10 percent advanced biofuel derived from beef tallow provided by Midwest farmers. The blend requires no changes to engine modifications or operational procedures, is cost-competitive with traditional fuel, and was purchased from a California-based producer as part of the Defense Logistics Agency’s normal bulk fuel procurement process.

formation assurance, both leaders addressed the Navy’s effort to introduce technology, computer literacy and cyber security from the bottom up, along with other requisite knowledge expected of a Sailor out of boot camp. They both cited the Navy’s new “E-Sailor Initiative,” a program in which Sailors receive mobile devices at recruit training and use them for training purposes and communication with family members. Stevens stressed that just as new recruits are taught the basics necessary to become well-rounded Sailors, so to must the importance of cyber security be ingrained in them from the beginning and reinforced throughout their careers.

U.S. Fleet Cyber Command serves as the Navy component command to U.S. Strategic Command and U.S. Cyber Command, and the Navy’s Service Cryptologic Component commander under the National Security Agency/ Central Security Service. Fleet Cyber Command also reports directly to the CNO as an Echelon II command.

U.S. 10th Fleet is the operational arm of Fleet Cyber Command and executes its mission through a task force structure similar to other warfare commanders. In this role, C10F provides operational direction through its Maritime Operations Center located at Fort George G. Meade, executing command and control over assigned forces in support of Navy or joint missions in cyber/networks, information operations, electronic warfare, cryptologic and signals intelligence and space.

Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. John Richardson discusses the Navy’s strategic guidance, A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority, with Tier I and II senior enlisted leadership during a symposium hosted

Sharp, who is with the Beekeepers Guild of Southeastern Virginia, was doing the demonstrating during The 6th Annual Virginia Honeybee Festival.

The event had activities for kids and adults alike – including honey tastings, vendors and a bee costume parade – to teach them about the buzzy little bugs.

“They’re vital to life as we know it,” the guild’s Pam Fisher said.

The biggest misconception about honeybees is that they are mean and want to sting you, she said.

They’re actually just as afraid of us as we are of them, she said. Their instincts are to protect the queen bee and their honey.

Fisher and the group had a display of plants that are good for the bees – pollinator-friendly, she said.

The best flowers for bees are single flowers, she said. For example, a rose, which has multiple layers, would not be good. Single flowers planted in groups make a bigger impact.

In the comfort of air conditioning, attendees could learn about the honey and wax extraction process.

From Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Public Affairs NORFOLK

June 1 is the official start of hurricane season, which means accountability will be a priority more than ever. Natural disasters like hurricanes, wild fires, earthquakes, and floods are just some of the disastrous reasons why it is important to make sure your Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System (NFAAS) information is always up to date.

NFAAS is an online accountability tracker, used following a disaster or other events, to help determine the location and well-being of Navy active duty, reserves, Department of the Navy civilians and their immediate family members.

“There are three key things to remember during a disaster. First and foremost is safety followed by accountability and knowing how to get help,” Navy Region Mid-Atlantic’s personnel service officer Lt. Catherine Warren said. “NFAAS was created to provide a means for individuals and commands to account for personnel and request assistance when needed. The bottom line is that we want to know if everyone is OK, where everyone is, and how we can help.”

The establishment of NFAAS came after the massive destruction of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. With the displacement and evacuation of so many people in a short period of time, it made it difficult to accurately account for each person. To help keep information current in NFAAS, service members are required to take part in the Navy-wide semi-annual updates.

“Although the primary way to muster is still through your chain of command, the updates in NFAAS are incredibly important and required. NFAAS serves as the primary reporting system for commands and their InService Support Centers to ensure personnel are accounted for and assistance is provided when needed,” Warren said. “The visibility it provides up and down the Navy chain of command helps in so many ways.”

One example Warren recalled was from a disaster that occurred when a petty officer on a ship had family members in an affected area that was devastated by the weather. But, because NFAAS was updated with correct information, the family members were able to be reached thousands of miles around the world and assistance was provided by the Navy and Marine Corps Relief Society and the Red Cross.

“NFAAS is important because it allows us to help during a disaster. We are one Navy family and we need to ensure our active duty, reserves, civilians and family members are equally accounted for and provided assistance. This tool helps us do just that,” Warren commented on why NFASS is important.

NFAAS is easy to use and there are a few of ways to use it.

about NFAAS Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System (NFAAS) standardizes a method for the Navy to account, assess, manage and monitor the recovery process for personnel and their families affected and scattered by a widespread catastrophic event.

NFAAS provides valuable information to all levels of the Navy chain of command, allowing commanders to make strategic decisions which facilitate a return to stability.

NFAAS allows Navy personnel to do the following: Report accounting status Update contact and location information Complete needs assessment View reference information To update your information in NFAAS, visit https://navyfamily.navy.mil. A Common Access Card, or username and password is required. If a disaster is declared, Sailors have three options: Check in directly with their commands and provide the status and whereabouts of their family members – commands will then upload the information to NFAAS; Use the Internet to logon to NFAAS to muster and report your needs; If an Internet-ready computer is not accessible, call the Navy Personnel Command Emergency Coordination Center at (877) 414-5358, or (866) 297-1971 (TDD).

A misconception is that the only time NFAAS is used is during hurricanes or during hurricane exercises.

Some recent examples of NFAAS being used include Super Typhoon Haiyan in the pacific, tornados in the Midwest and recent assessments were conducted in NFAAS for tornados and flooding in Florida, Alabama, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee, Warren added.

When an event occurs – real or exercise – the first action is for the member to muster with their command and account for themselves and their dependents. The command can then enter the information into NFAAS for the member which will prevent overloading NFAAS.

During times when the service member is unable to update his NFAAS due to no internet connection or evacuation following a disaster, the service member can contact their command with their family information and his command NFAAS representative has the ability to update the information for him.

If a member is unable to reach their command for any reason, they can muster in NFAAS or they can muster by calling the Navy Personnel Command (NPC) Help Desk at (877) 414-5358. Note that during nonemergency events, this is the NPC customer service desk.

Each command’s hurricane preparedness and evacuation officer can provide additional information for the service member to take home and share with his family.

“Unfortunately one of the most common challenges we have, whether it’s during an exercise or during a real world event, is accurate contact information in NFAAS,” Warren said. “When disaster strikes we want to assist our Navy families as quickly as possible. By ensuring your personal and family information is up to date and having contact numbers for your command, NFAAS and NPC we can make a difficult situation a little better.”

HARVICK RIDES TWO-LANE GROOVE TO VICTORY LANE AT BRISTOL

By Rick Minter Universal Uclick

Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at Bristol Motor Speedway, as well as Friday’s Xfinity Series race, had most of the elements that made the summertime races at the Tennessee track crowd favorites.

Thanks to the application of a coat of resin on the lower edge of the bottom groove, there were two lanes for racing, although the top groove was the preferred line.

That meant lots of passing, and an occasional bump-and-run.

In both races, there were lead changes aplenty, and drama all the way up to the end – including several multi-car crashes that involved the sport’s top stars.

One of those swept up in wrecks was Kyle Busch, who led more than half the race – 256 laps – before a part broke on his No. 18 Toyota. He spun out and was struck by the No. 46 driven by Justin Allgaier.

There were also some surprises among the top finishers, including runner-up Ricky

Stenhouse Jr. – the best he or any of his Roush Fenway Racing teammates have finished all season.

Austin Dillon, driving the No. 3 Chevrolet made famous by the late Dale Earnhardt, contended for the win, until he faded to fourth at the finish.

And Chris Buescher, a surprise winner at Pocono Raceway two races back, raced his way into the lead pack, finished fifth and moved into the top 30 in driver points. That puts him – for now – in position to claim a berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Kevin Harvick, who has seen several likely wins this season go by the wayside for one reason or another, prevailed at the end to score his second Cup win at Bristol – but his first in the night race – and the 33rd triumph of his Cup career.

It was the first Bristol win for his StewartHaas Racing team and the first Cup win in the Bristol night race for Chevrolet since 2004, when Dale Earnhardt Jr. won. Harvick’s win, combined with Austin Dillon’s triumph in Friday’s Xfinity Series race, gave

Chevy its first night-race weekend sweep since 1999, when the late Dale Earnhardt won the Cup race and Matt Kenseth, now driving Toyotas for Joe Gibbs Racing, won the undercard in a Chevrolet.

The only thing missing was a large, enthusiastic crowd on Sunday afternoon. The grandstands were fairly full on Saturday night. But when rain stopped the race after just 38 laps on Saturday and persistent showers kept cars off the track until late Sunday afternoon, most of those fans had already left when the race finally resumed.

Harvick, in his winner’s interview, was among those praising the racing surface.

“I was excited that you were able to use the bottom of the race track, and the lapped cars had an option,” he said. “I really just want to applaud the race track for the effort that they made this weekend to really get that bottom groove working ... as a driver, you had a lot of options to ... maneuver through traffic and make up positions. We started 24th and pretty much drove through the field because of that.”

Harvick also called Friday’s Xfinity race a big success.

“I think Friday night was probably one of the best Xfinity races I’ve ever sat and watched,” he said. “Just really happy to see Bristol back where it is this weekend, and looking forward to coming back.”

Stenhouse, who came back from two laps behind to finish second, used the race to honor his friend, the late Bryan Clauson, who died in a sprint car crash two week before.

“We really wanted to get this Bryan Clauson tribute car in Victory Lane,” Stenhouse said. “It just wasn’t meant to be.

“We made our car a lot faster throughout the race and came from two laps down to get back on the lead lap. We missed some wrecks and gave it all we had.”

Stenhouse also thanked the fans who turned out for the race, which has struggled to fill seats for several years after a long string of sellouts.

“This place was pretty packed [Saturday] night,” he said. “Thanks to all the fans that were able to stay around [on Sunday].”

UFC 202 Talking Points: Conor, Nate and more

By Matt Parrino UFC.com

Conor McGregor sat on his stool after 15 minutes of warfare with Nate Diaz, sucking wind.

Five months after getting finished by Diaz at UFC 196, McGregor was staring a second-straight loss in the face after surviving an onslaught from Diaz in the third round, similar to the flurry he used to finish McGregor in March.

But this time was different.

McGregor regrouped and recaptured the momentum, and, eventually, a majority decision victory (48-47, 47-47, 4847) to draw even with Diaz at one win apiece.

In true McGregor fashion, McGregor grabbed the mic to publicly reclaim his thrown.

“Surprise, surprise. The king is back. If you want this trilogy, it’s on my terms,” McGregor said in reference to a third fight with Diaz. “I came up to 170, now you’ll come back to 155 and we’ll finish what we’ve started. I knew what I had to do this time around and I did it.”

McGregor-Diaz 3 will be out of this world when it does happen, and it will. But first McGregor has business back at 145 pounds, and interim champion Jose Aldo is waiting and desperate for his own revenge.

These are the UFC 202 Talking Points:

What does the result of Diaz-McGregor 2 mean for both men?

UFC president Dana White made things pretty clear before the rematch – McGregor is going back to 145 pounds to defend his title next.

Diaz is only interested in big fights and may be willing to sit out until the trilogy match with McGregor, whenever that may come.

McGregor needed this fight. If he truly plans to be a twodivision champion he needed to figure out how to react when the chips were down. And he was all in on the flop as the fourth round began.

Georges St-Pierre said McGregor had to be willing to have the worst night of his life to win this fight. And as the Irishman limped to the back after his five-round war, he truly understood what the Canadian great meant.

Both guys come out of the rematch stronger and more popular. The astonishing stat of a combined 330 significant strikes landed between them is good for second-most all-

time in a UFC fight behind, appropriately, Diaz vs Cowboy Cerrone (334).

UFC 202 was great top to bottom and the main event was unforgettable.

Rumble keeps on Rumblin’ Anthony Johnson is the scariest man on the planet and it’s not even close.

“Rumble” put Glover Teixeira to sleep with the first big swing he threw in their co-main event and No. 1-contender clash, then proceeded to call out Daniel Cormier, who was sitting as a witness Octagon-side.

Teixeira was KO’d once before – 14 years ago in his professional debut. It hasn’t happened since then and it only took Johnson 13 seconds.

The last time Johnson faced Cormier he sent the champion halfway across the Octagon, but the “King of the Grind” out-worked Johnson after that to secure a submission win.

The rematch must happen and it now looks more likely than ever before.

“When I fight Daniel (Cormier) again, the difference will be that I’m going to win,” Johnson said. “I’m going to whoop that a--. Daniel is a wrestler and a lot of people don’t realize that I’m a wrestler, too. I know that grind, I know that struggle. Daniel is a true champion. I respect him a lot and he deserves that title that he has.”

sure-packed for the bantamweight rising star.

“No Love” has been talking a big game in recent months and has set his sights on champion Dominick Cruz in hopes of securing a title shot for the bantamweight championship.

After the win Garbrandt called out Cruz, who was sitting in his seat in the FS1 announcing booth. Cruz seemed game for the fight.

“I’m a different beast than Cruz. I’m a young, hungry lion,” Garbrandt said. “I’m mentally and physically strong.

He’s never faced a fighter like me. I’ll track him down no matter how many rounds it goes – the first through the fifth and just punish him.”

Cowboy calling his shot Just eight short months removed from the most devastating loss of his career, Donald Cerrone has put together another win streak and is sitting pretty with plenty of options ahead of him.

Cerrone is faster at 170 pounds and it showed once again against Story, as the former lightweight title contender kept him guessing with kicks and punches before landing the impressive final series to finish the fight.

Two years ago Cowboy welcomed Eddie Alvarez to the UFC by beating him by unanimous decision at UFC 178.

Now Alvarez has the lightweight title, and despite his success at welterweight, Cerrone has unfinished business at 155 and wants Alvarez next in New York City for the lightweight title.

Garbrandt shows no love for Mizugaki Cody Garbrandt may be just four fights into his UFC career, but his battle with veteran Takeya Mizugaki was pres-

Larkin ready for the next level After Lorenz Larkin finished teeing off on Neil Magny’s left leg with leg kick after leg kick, he delivered a message to the rest of the welterweight division: He wants big fights.

Larkin now has three KO finishes at 170 pounds and he became the first man to finish Magny by KO in his 15 career UFC fights.

A significant jump in the rankings should be coming for Larkin next week when the official rankings are released.

He now places his name in the mix of the Top 10 of a stacked 170-pound division, but with his power and takedown defense he could be serious problem for the rest of the division.

“I came in feeling like I had something to prove tonight,” Larkin said. “I have to make an argument for why I deserve to be pushed and marketed and I think going out there and delivering a dominant performance is what it takes. All I want is to be the biggest star in this sport.”
