Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group successfully completes COMPTUEX By MCSN L. A. Preston USS Harry S. Truman Public Affairs

ATLANTIC OCEAN

The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (HSTCSG) completed Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX) on Sept. 30, in preparation for a future deployment. Commander, Carrier Strike Group 4

graded the exercise evaluating how well the strike group performed in warfare scenarios such as simulated surface, air, undersea, strike and electronic attacks. They also assessed simulated search and seizure scenarios, live-ﬁre evolutions and strike group formations. Cmdr. Alysa Ambrose, commanding ofﬁcer of USS Gravely (DDG 107), said one of the best aspects of the training

was the anti-terrorism and force protection exercises which allowed watchstanders to work together to assess and neutralize incoming threats. “It has built a strong sense of camaraderie and teamwork both on the ship and between ships,” said Ambrose.

Coastal Riverine Squadron 8 Detachment in Groton conducts 500th submarine escort By Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg Navy Expeditionary Combat Command Public Affairs

GROTON, CONN.

Sailors assigned to Coastal Riverine Squadron (CRS) Eight Detachment (DET) Groton, conducted their 500th escort of Los Angeles and Virginiaclass submarines, Sept. 23, since assuming the mission in October 2013. The detachment is primarily comprised of Sailors, a Coast Guard Ofﬁcer, and selective reservists who have been serving on two-year Active Duty for Special Work orders. “We have all taken pride in completing every single one of the 500 escort missions,” said Coast Guard Lt. Liam O’Connell, ofﬁcer in charge of CRS-8 DET Groton, who emphasized the important role his detachment performs in enabling deployed undersea

operations worldwide. “We know we are a small piece of the pie, but an important one, so we endeavor to always execute our mission professionally and in keeping with our tasking,” said O’Connell. “Conducting over 500 missions in two years is the result of a lot of very long days, and plenty of them in arduous weather.” Lt. Rebecca Troutman, the operations ofﬁcer assigned to Coastal Riverine Group (CORIVGRU) 2, in Portsmouth, added that other detachments provide similar escort duties in Hampton Roads; Mayport, Florida; Kings Bay, Georgia; San Diego; and Bangor, Washington. A total of 22 personnel are assigned to the detachment. On Oct. 1, the mission in Groton will transfer to an all-Navy full-time support mission

with a small reservist contingent. “Most of the unit personnel have previously deployed on similar missions overseas, so we recognize the importance of what we do,” added O’Connell. The Coastal Riverine Force (CORIVFOR) operates in harbors, rivers, bays, across the littorals and ashore. The primary mission of CORIVFOR is to conduct maritime security operations across all phases of military operations by defending high value assets, critical maritime infrastructure, ports and harbors both inland and on coastal waterways against enemies and, when commanded, conduct offensive combat operations.

NAVSUP FLC Norfolk teaches ceremonial cake decorating By Tom Kreidel NAVSUP FLC Ofﬁce of Corporate Communication

NORFOLK

The Navy Food Management Team (NFMT) at Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center (NAVSUP FLC) Norfolk wrapped up a Cake Decorating 201 class at Naval Station Norfolk on Sept. 17. The three-day class teaches Sailors from area ships and shore commands the basics needed to decorate cakes for Navy ceremonies. According to Master Chief Culinary Specialist Stephen Boos, NFMT lead instructor, the class teaches culinary specialists basic sugar, chocolate and fondant fabrication to aid in cake construction. “Ceremonial cakes increase crew morale shipwide,” Boos explained. “These cakes are critical to any ship deployed during the holiday season.” He went on to describe cake decorating as an edible form of artwork that takes years to master. He explained that instructors assigned to Navy Food Management Teams go through a thorough

Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center (NAVSUP FLC) Norfolk hosted a tour, Sept. 22, for Director of the Mexican navy General Staff S-4, Rear Adm. Santiago Jose Morgado Gomez. The tour started at NAVSUP FLC Norfolk’s main headquarters, with personnel briefing him on the command’s operations, according to acting Executive Officer Capt. Lorenzo Williams. Gomez also visited the Regional Supply Office Norfolk and Advanced Traceability and Control. “The beehive of activity of both of those work centers transcends languages and nationality,” said Williams. “They are visible examples of the work and dedication it takes to support our country’s Navy and are universally understood.” NAVSUP FLC Norfolk Executive Director Dale Rieck added that Gomez was very interested in the command’s collaboration with the Defense Logistics Agency on both warehousing and distribution, comparing how the Mexican navy handled cargo movements with U.S. Navy processes and procedures. “He was very impressed with our 24/7 customer support by the Global Distance Support Center, as well the front line logistic support representative fleet assistance,” said Rieck. Williams added that the tour was a great chance to share best practices in a group of naval logistics professionals. “The single most gratifying aspect of hosting a tour for our allies is sharing our enthusiasm for supporting our respective naval forces,” Williams added. NAVSUP FLC Norfolk, one of eight fleet logistics centers under NAVSUP Global Logistics Support (GLS), provides operational logistics, business and support services to fleet, shore and industrial commands with 37 separate locations in three Navy regions. NAVSUP GLS comprises more than 5,700 military and civilian logistics professionals, contractors and foreign nationals operating as a single cohesive team providing an array of integrated global logistics and contracting services from 110 locations worldwide to Navy and Joint operational units across all warfare enterprises.

Navigation system maintenance technician pilot class graduates By Kimberly M. Lansdale Center for Surface Combat Systems

VIRGINIA BEACH

The Navy’s newest Navigation System Maintenance Technician (NSMT) course graduated its first pilot class after completing a 13-week training course, Sept. 11. Training was conducted by the Center for Surface Combat Systems Unit (CSCSU) at Dam Neck, in conjunction with Surface Training Systems Program Office (PMS 339) at the Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division. The 14 students were the first group of technicians to have experienced the benefit of a high fidelity, navigation maintenance training simulator.

WHAT DOES “Employer of Choice” MEAN? ✓ A Great Place To Work ✓ Respect For Employees ✓ Diversity In the Workplace ✓ Excellent Opportunities for Career Advancement ✓ Success through Innovation and Teamwork ✓ A Connection with the Hampton Roads community

No longer will technicians go to the ﬂeet with just one aspect of navigation.” -Chief Electronics Technician Cedric Alexander

“The main difference with this course is that it gave us the chance to become familiar with the procedures, maintenance and inner workings of the equipment for each different system in the pipeline, while giving us a fully operational platform to work with for operational and troubleshooting purposes providing a wealth of experience across the board before we even step foot onto a ship,” explained Electronics Technician 2nd Class Matthew Turner, a student in the program. Capt. Len Remias, CSCS Unit Dam Neck’s commanding ofﬁcer, says the pilot course was a success. “The electronics technicians learned about the navigation system as an endto-end system, rather than smaller standalone pieces,

such as the Bridge and Navigation System (IBNS) and AN/WSN-7 Ring Gyro Navigation (RGN),” Remias explained. “This course is addressing the gap for technicians who do not currently have the opportunity to train in a ‘system of systems’ environment. The NSMT simulator allows students to learn how the individual navigation components integrate and provide navigation information to users throughout the ship.” The NSMT features a Virtual Maintenance Performance Aid (VMPA). The VMPA provides a virtual environment that supports training in Combat System Operational Sequencing System (CSOSS) operations, Planned Maintenance System (PMS), system alignment, troubleshooting, and repair. “No longer will technicians go to the ﬂeet with just one aspect of navigation,” said Chief Electronics Technician Cedric Alexander, CSCS Unit Dam Neck’s leading chief petty ofﬁcer. “They will now understand how the system works as a whole and what it provides for the ship. The simulator is pivotal in bringing this all together and in giving new Sailors a sneak preview of what it looks like

Spend a Little,

to be on a Destroyer. “Blending the simulator experience with actual Technical Training Equipment (TTE) that matches the equipment in the fleet is a great way to teach technicians. It not only provides them a visual aid through technology, but also hands on experience with the actual equipment they will be responsible for in the fleet.” The next step is to apply adjustments to the curriculum that were identified in the pilot course and be ready for the first official class, convening Nov. 2. CSCS’ mission is to develop and deliver surface ship combat systems training to achieve surface warfare superiority. CSCS headquarters’ staff oversees 14 learning sites and provides nearly 70,000 hours of curriculum for 700 courses a year to more than 40,000 Sailors. CSCS delivers specialized training for officer and enlisted Sailors required to tactically operate, maintain, and employ shipboard and shore-based weapons, sensors, and command and control systems utilized in today’s Navy.

NECC OBSERVES NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

WPNSTA Yorktown celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month

By Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg Navy Expeditionary Combat Command Public Affairs

VIRGINIA BEACH

By Mark O. Piggott Naval Weapons Station Yorktown Public Affairs

YORKTOWN

Naval Weapons Station (WPNSTA) Yorktown struck a chord with the theme “Energizing Our Nation’s Diversity” at a celebration for National Hispanic Heritage Month, Sept. 23, at Nelson Chapel. Hispanic Heritage Month begins on Sept. 15 and ends on Oct. 15, covering the anniversary of independence of several Latin American countries and Columbus Day. “Ever since John Adams established our Colonial Navy, Latinos, Hispanics, and Chicanos have served our country with distinction,” said MM2(SS) Gabriel Baltezar, master of ceremonies for the celebration. “It can be said, that the path to democracy in the United States was forged through the blood, sweat, and tears of our immigrant population who came to America with hopes of a better tomorrow.” According to the Navy History and Heritage Command, the Navy recognizes the service of nearly 70,000 Sailors and civilians of Hispanic heritage who comprise approximately 11 percent of our active, reserve, and civilian forces. National studies point out that in three decades, minority chil-

dren born today will constitute the majority in the U.S. “We all have a big responsibility to the new racial majority of Americans,” said Dr. Jorge Yinat, guest speaker at WPNSTA Yorktown’s Hispanic Heritage program. Yinat, a 28-year veteran of the Army, served in many overseas assignments and combat tours, including Operations Desert Shield/Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom. He is currently the president and CEO of James | Williams | York & Company, the only Hispanic business and management consulting ﬁrm in Hampton Roads. “The new waves of American minorities will need all of us to guide them, coach them, inspire them, and point them in the right direction,” he continued. “It is our time now to reach out to the new generation, because our efforts in the development of individuals coming from all walks of life will translate into the betterment of our American society as a whole.”

Thirty-nine Hispanics serving in the Navy were awarded the Medal of Honor, which is more than any other identifiable ethnic group. The story of the hard working immigrant family parallels the Navy’s core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. “Hispanics have had a profound and positive influence on our country through their strong commitment to family, faith, hard work, and service,” Baltezar said. “They have enhanced and shaped our national character with centuries-old traditions that reflect the multiethnic and multicultural customs of their community.” “We are all Americans and we are in this journey of the American experience together,” Yinat concluded. “Immigrants, minorities, and foreigners will continue to greatly contribute to our nation, and our nation will become richer, more vibrant, and more economically successful because of our efforts and sacrifices.”

As Latin music played in the background and a variety of Hispanic themed dishes were being served, Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) personnel gathered to attend a National Hispanic Heritage Month event at the Little Creek headquarters, Sept. 24. National Hispanic Heritage Month, observed annually from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, is held to celebrate the contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and South America. Chief Yeoman Karla Gonzalez, NECC staff member who attended the observance, appreciated the opportunity to recognize and celebrate the rich diversity of her Hispanic heritage. “These types of events help to break down barriers and stereotypes that may exist, but also provide context to our contributions to the Navy and nation, while showcasing our heritage and where we came from,” Gonzalez said.

Olga Torres, president of the Hampton Roads Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, served as guest speaker advising the attendees to get involved in their communities to increase the awareness of the Hispanic culture. “I enjoy giving back to the community and share our history and heritage with others, and as this observance comes around every year it provides more opportunities to learn about our culture,” said Torres. This year’s Presidential Proclamation, issued Sept. 14, spoke to the many faces of America’s Hispanic community and its role in shaping our nation. “Hispanics contribute to our Nation’s success in extraordinary ways – they serve in the military and government, attend schools across America, and strengthen the economy,” according to the proclamation. “Each day, we see the tremendous impact they have on our communities, and they reﬂect an enduring truth at the heart of our nation: no matter where you come from or where your roots are, with hard work and perseverance, you can make it in America.”

Effects of Hurricane Joaquin felt locally, down East Coast

MCSN Bill Dodge Sailors at Naval Station Norfolk ﬁll sandbags in preparation for Hurricane Joaquin.

■ turn around, don’t drown Each year, more deaths occur due to flooding than from any other thunderstorm related hazard. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that over half of all flood-related drownings occur when a vehicle is driven into hazardous flood water. The next highest percentage of flood-related deaths is due to walking into or near flood waters. People underestimate the force and power of water. Many of the deaths occur in automobiles as they are swept downstream. Of these drownings, many are preventable, but too many people continue to drive around the barriers that warn you the road is flooded. A mere six inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult. It takes just 12 inches of rushing water to carry away a small car, while two feet of rushing water can carry away most vehicles. It is never safe to drive or walk into flood waters. MC3 A. A. Cruz Aviation Electrician’s Mate 3rd Class D. Fuger, left, and Aviation Machinist’s Mate Airman D.

| Sailors to get hands-on experience

Continued from front In order to optimize carrier operations, Eisenhower modified its jet blast deflectors (JBD) and catapults to better support the F-35C. A JBD does just what its name suggests. It is a safety device that redirects the high energy exhaust from a jet engine away from equipment and people on the flight deck to prevent damage and injury. “We completely rebuilt catapult one’s JBD on the ship,” said Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Equipment) 1st Class Shamon Smith, Air Department’s V-2 Division maintenance leading petty officer aboard Eisenhower. “We replaced some of the salt-water piping which allows for a rapid flow of pressure throughout the JBDs so it can cool down a lot faster under strenuous conditions which make them perfect for the F-35C.” Catapult two also received a complete overhaul, but it was built off-ship by the Carrier and Field Service Unit (CAFSU) and the Voyage Repair Team (VRT). The CAFSU and VRT engineers ensure carriers are operating under the latest instructions in order to maintain and update equipment for catapult flight operations. “The CAFSU and VRT guys were a huge help,” Smith said. “They came in and did the modifications that we received from AIRLANT and they added those specifications into our JBDs so we were ready for the F35C’s to land aboard Eisenhower.” Changes were also made to the arresting system that is responsible for “trapping,” or stopping, an aircraft during an arrested land-

■ second test phase The F-35C is currently in its second developmental test phase (DT-II). During DT-II, the test aircraft will perform a variety of operational maneuvers while simulating maintenance operations and conducting general maintenance and fit tests for the aircraft and support equipment. ing. The Advance Recovery Control (ARC), also installed while in the shipyard, aides in ensuring a safe recovery with every trap. “The magic number is 183,” Smith said. “When an aircraft lands, no matter what cable it catches, the ARC system will only allow that aircraft to travel a total of 183 feet down the landing area. It’s an excellent safety precaution that they have for the F-35C, and safety is paramount to every recovery aboard Eisenhower.” Besides making physical modiﬁcations to Eisenhower, select Sailors were given the chance to visit the test site in Maryland so they could get a jump start on learning what it takes to launch and recover an F-35C. “We brought a team from the Eisenhower to Patuxent River about two months ago,” said Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 23 test pilot Lt. Cmdr. Daniel Kitts. “At Pax River, we have a steam catapult built into our runway.

ment) Jose Correa attended the training and says the information they received helped prepare them for this testing phase. “The purpose of the trip was to receive information on launch and recovery and how we can accommodate the F-35C,” he said. “We learned the taxiing, and chock and chain processes, the Crash and Salvage team was able to access rescue procedures, and V-4 Sailors learned the fueling process.” The last new aircraft released to the ﬂeet was the F/A-18 Super Hornet more than a decade ago. Smith said that Eisenhower Sailors are thrilled to be part of this aviation milestone. “My guys are totally excited. They’ve spent

hours downstairs in the hangar bay looking at the aircraft and the engine,” Smith said. “We’ve been waiting for it to arrive and now it’s ﬁnally here and we get the opportunity to see it in person. It’s an awesome experience.” Eisenhower Sailors won’t just be observing the F-35C, they’ll have a chance to get handson experience and share their thoughts with the F-35 Pax River Integrated Test Force. “We are going to see exactly what it does to the new water-brake system that we put in and how our JBDs are going to stand up,” Smith said. “The F-35 guys out here listen to what we think, because we are the operators in the ﬂeet. It’s great being able to have some kind of input on tomorrow’s Navy.”

| To deploy later this year “Together, we’ve conquered every challenge by communicating, planning and acting as a team – each ship, each aircraft and their Sailors brought their expertise, making us a powerful combat force. I have no doubt that we are well prepared for deployment.” Teamwork and communication were vital themes of HSTCSG’s success. “I’m very impressed with how well the strike group worked together as a team,” said Rear Adm. Bret Batchhelder, commander, Carrier Strike Group 8. “We began this exercise as six ships and an air wing. We ﬁnished as a uniﬁed, tested and proven Strike Group.” HSTCSG is scheduled to deploy late this year and includes the aircraft carrier Truman, Carrier Air Wing 7, guided-missile cruiser USS Anzio, Destroyer Squadron 28, and guided-missile destroyers Gravely, Bulkeley, Gonzalez and Ramage.

“This deployment allowed us to engage with our regional partners and host nation counterparts, furthering our interoperability to provide care and services, address common concerns and demonstrate our commitment to fostering a lasting partnership. This in turn, improves our collective capacity to respond together in the case of a future contingency.” Comfort left her homeport in April and completed mission stops in Belize, Guatemala, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Panama, El Salvador, Colombia, Dominica, the Dominican Republic, Honduras and Haiti. “Continuing Promise is an opportunity to share our common talents in preparing to meet our common goals of stability and security. Using health care, engineering skills, preventive medicine and veterinary care to work side-by-side one another, is an incredible way to move forward together,” said Capt. Christine Sears, commanding ofﬁcer of the Medical Treatment Facility aboard Comfort. CP-15 had the highest number of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the mission’s history. In total, more than 400 volunteers from various NGOs were embarked aboard Comfort at some point during the mission, including members from World Vets, Latter-day Saints Charities, Project HOPE, Registered Nurses Response Network, University of California San Diego Pre-Dental Society, Operation Blessing and Operation Smile. “The men and women who made up the Continuing Promise team came from around the globe, from different military branches and different NGOs, but the one thing they all had in common was a desire to improve

the lives of others,” said Lt. Amy Welkie, the mission’s NGO liaison. “The NGOs worked seamlessly with military personnel to enhance mission capacity and make this deployment a tremendous success.” In addition to the medical care provided, Navy Seabees attached to Construction Battalion Mobile Unit (CBMU) 202 from Virginia Beach, and Jacksonville, Florida, completed over 90 engineering projects ranging from the construction of a chicken coop and walkways, to installing fencing and refurbishing the various sites and locations. CP-15 personnel also participated in more than 40 sporting events, including basketball, soccer and volleyball, and volunteered for over 40 community relations projects, offering extra hands to help with landscaping, painting, distributing donations of schools supplies, shoes, and books and spending time with the residents at multiple orphanages and senior citizen homes. Sailors assigned to the U.S. Fleet Forces Band “Uncharted Waters” performed more than 100 concerts, including concerts for host nation citizens at medical sites, schools and orphanages and performances for dignitaries and distinguished visitors at ofﬁcial ceremonies and receptions, both on and off the ship. The CP-15 mission provided an excellent opportunity for the U.S. military and its partner nations to work with NGOs, international organizations and host nations to build strong relationships that can be called upon in the event of a regional disaster. The relationships built and sustained through missions like Continuing Promise help tremendously in humanitarian efforts and preserving peace and stability in the region.

that are a part of the Harry S. Truman Strike Group.” Capt. Castellano, commanding officer of USS Anzio (CG 68), said COMPTUEX had been a positive learning experience for team Anzio. “The various exercises that Anzio has participated in, from maritime security operations to being plane guard for Harry S. Truman, have helped facilitate continual integration of our air department and built the confidence of each Sailor on board,” said Castellano. “COMPTUEX has improved team Anzio’s professional expertise in warfighting and has provided significant training to prepare us for any and all challenges that may come our way during deployment.” Over the past month, guidedmissile destroyers Gravely, USS Bulkeley (DDG 84), USS Gonzalez (DDG 66) and Ramage exercised training to conduct

real world missions. During the exercise, they practiced providing assistance to distressed vessels at sea. Using those same skill sets, they responded to four actual vessels adrift off the east coast of the U.S. One of the craft, King Fisher II, had two personnel aboard who were delivered to safety due to the efforts of Ramage and the Coast Guard. “There is no substitute for training at sea to prepare a ship and her crew for warfighting,” said Cmdr. Stefan Walch, Gonzalez’s commanding officer. Wrapping up COMPTUEX was the “Advanced Phase,” an unplanned continuous scenario that tested how the strike group reacted, as a whole, to challenges they may encounter on deployment. “As the Strike Group’s Flagship, we are the central node and the focal point to the entire exercise,” said Capt. Ryan B. Scholl, Truman’s commanding officer.

CULINARY

| Training for competition, to further develop culinary skills

Continued from front

Continued from front Jerome Feliciano of the Commander, Sixth Fleet Flag Mess in preparing ﬁve Culinary Specialists (CSs) to compete in an event scheduled for later this year. “One of our training goals was to prepare the CSs to compete in a British military culinary competition called Exercise Joint Caterer,” said Alba. “We practiced the dishes they will be using for the competition. We helped them with their knife cuts, made stocks, and showed them different ways to prepare chicken, rabbit and lobster.” Exercise Joint Caterer takes place at the Defence Academy, Shrivenham in the United Kingdom, Oct. 13-15. The primary aim of the exercise is to provide chefs, caterers and stewards of the British armed forces with a competition, which further develops their culinary skills. It also nurtures pride in professional achievement and builds team spirit, imagination, innovation and adaptability in order to excel on operations. Non-UK military members are also

allowed to compete. Alba, Edwards and Feliciano are no strangers to international competition. Last year, they were part of a U.S. team that won two gold medals, six silver medals, and four bronze medals in the London Culinary Arts Salon at the Hotel Olympia. The training wasn’t all focused on preparing for competition. “The training is a supplemental advanced culinary training program for Sailors that may not have opportunities to attend training in the U.S. while stationed overseas,” said Edwards. “The training is motivation; basically we share our knowledge and passion for the culinary arts. This creates momentum and healthy competitiveness that fosters competent chefs capable of working in any kitchen.” In addition to preparing the Sailors for the competition, Alba provided training in sanitation and other areas to help them prepare for certiﬁcation by the American Culinary Federation. She also helped them to prepare for further study at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, where

they can earn ProChef level 1 certification. “Petty Officer Alba is a technical expert of food service administration, a talented teacher, and an experienced culinary competitor, said Edwards. “She helped keep the training organized and effective, and shared her competition knowledge with the participants.” “The most rewarding thing for me is to be able to teach Sailors advanced culinary skills and creative ideas that I’ve learned from Chief Edwards,” said Alba. “We have known each other for more than 10 years and share a passion for teaching. Having the opportunity to teach other culinary specialists new skills and help them develop confidence in their abilities is a win-win for everyone involved, including their shipmates who will enjoy new dishes they’ve learned to prepare.” NAVSUP FLC Norfolk, one of eight fleet logistics centers under NAVSUP Global Logistics Support (GLS), provides operational logistics, business and support services to fleet, shore and industrial commands with 37 separate locations in three

MCPON wishes happy birthday to all Sailors By MC1 Martin L. Carey Ofﬁce of the Master Chief Petty Ofﬁcer of the Navy

WASHINGTON

Master Chief Petty Ofﬁcer of the Navy (MCPON) Mike Stevens released the following Navy Birthday Message to the Fleet, Oct. 5. Shipmates, families, and friends. This week we celebrate 240 years of the United States Navy being “Ready Then, Ready Now and Ready Always!” Many would say that it is

our equipment, weapons systems and platforms that make our Navy great. I would agree that these aspects give us an advantage. But at its core, what truly makes us great, is our people. Since 1775, excellence has been the hallmark of our Navy and I can conﬁdently say that this year is no different. I have spent time with our Sailors around the globe and have had the privilege to witness ﬁrst-hand their professionalism, technical knowledge and commitment in everything they do. As we celebrate our Navy’s

rich heritage, we celebrate all Sailors, both past and present, for raising their right hand and taking an oath to defend our great nation. A Navy career can often times be challenging, but we do not serve alone. Our friends, families and loved ones also serve a vital role in our lives and the overall success of our Navy. Thank you for your service and for always striving towards excellence. Happy Birthday Navy! Very Respectfully, MCPON Mike Stevens

We are proud to partner with the Navy in launching this program and are excited to learn from the ofﬁcers during their time at Amazon.”

NAVY MEDICINE INFORMATION SYSTEMS SUPPORT ACTIVITY DISESTABLISHES By Jessica F. Alexander U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery Public Affairs

SAN ANTONIO

After seven years of faithful service, the Navy's Medical Information Management and Information Technology Support Organization (NAVMISSA) was disestablished during a ceremony, Sept. 30. Rear Adm. Raquel C. Bono, National Capital Region Medical directorate and chief of the Navy Medical Corps, presided over the disestablishment ceremony. "NAVMISSA's origins were based on an emerging electronic age in health care delivery. It became very impor-

tant for Navy Medicine to understand complex data systems and harness that information, so that the entire Navy Medicine enterprise could make more informed decisions. NAVMISSA led that effort," said Bono. Established in 2008, NAVMISSA was chartered to manage the Navy's medical IM/IT systems. To enable joint collaboration, NAVMISSA was strategically located in San Antonio, Texas, geographically close to the U.S. Army Medical Information Technology Center (USAMITC) and the Air Force Medical Operations Agency (AFMOA). During its existence, NAVMISSA developed and deployed a techno-

logical solution for health clinics across the Marine Expeditionary Forces, ensuring that warﬁghters continued to have a documented health care record. As the executive agent for secure messaging, NAVMISSA also led the tri-service effort to ensure asynchronous communication between 9.7 million beneﬁciaries and their providers for 56 hospitals and 365 clinics worldwide. NAVMISSA's information assets, personnel and responsibilities will integrate with the Defense Health Agency (DHA), allowing Navy Medicine to continue its medical readiness mission, while achieving cost-savings

through a shared medical support services structure across the Military Health System. "This is an opportunity to reﬂect on what NAVMISSA was, what it meant to Navy Medicine, and how our people will impact the future of military medicine," said Capt. Paul Hammer, NAVMISSA'S commanding ofﬁcer. "The job isn't over, it's just changing. Our mission remains the same – to ensure the medical readiness of every Sailor, Marine and their families around the world. That's something to be proud of," Hammer said.

USS Reagan arrives at new homeport

Time is valuable By Linda Port Military Spouse Contributor

I wish I had a crystal ball. Don’t we all? It seems a lifetime ago that my husband and I began this Navy journey. I never thought about things back then as I do now. If only I could have known going in how the course would go, I might have paid closer mind to some of the advice and instruction I was given along the way. But isn’t that how so many things go? Get an education, work hard, save for the future. I was listening but I certainly could have done better. We have just always been so very busy, just like everyone else. PCS’s, new commands and cities, kids. Life. The general pace of life for the average American has picked up steadily in my five decades of life. With so many technologies and methods of communication coming online and being constantly updated I nearly always feel behind the eight ball. Conveniences and innovations “simplify” our lives every day. From smartphones to coffee shops, things like Amazon and Starbucks have changed our lives. Few people’s lives are what you could call simple anymore and most of us do not have any problem with that. I am a big fan of the old school ways, but I do subscribe to some of our “simplifiers” and I notice that lots of conveniences have a toll that is not merely monetary. Money is a big part though, and the easiest bit of the equation to account for. It can be less complicated to opt for the easier way because we are too often on the edge of overwhelmed. Take out and convenience items are always getting better, healthier, and even more affordable. I am going to pick on coffee and smoothies a bit, but it’s amazing how big an industry they are. We have become such an “on the go” society that we might not think about preparing some things for ourselves any more if we can grab it on the way. They are both very easy to make, and a lot of fun to experiment with. It is about the time, really…and convenience too, I guess. We have built our lives to be this way. When is the last time you had a lazy afternoon. Even when we have down time, that is when we catch up with the shows on the DVR. When we were small it was a special occasion to go out for ice cream. We had all the time in the world to select our favorite flavors and items from the toppings bar or frozen treat from the ice cream truck, then sit with grandpa and savor the yumminess of our choices. Today we go to the drive up coffee window and rattle off our specifically personalized favorite grande double shot non fat soy mocha chino whatever, or latest and greatest fast food meal. Then we fuss over how long the line of cars ahead of us is as we shuffle the iPod play list and send an abbreviated text as we scroll through Facebook. I think we might be tricking ourselves into thinking we are getting precisely what we want or need. We have morphed some of our everyday standards into cartoon like versions of themselves. Add a flavor shot and a dollop of whip, or a fancy cut fry in a bright geometric box with some little condiment packets and we have just cancelled out the time we spent in the gym today. Advertising is very creative in distracting us with what we crave by presenting it as what we need. We teach our kids to try to make the best choices they can but often give ourselves a pass because we are running behind or need a lift. Sometimes the route to what we are aiming for gets caught in a loop and we feel like we just tread water and make little progress. We want a little more for our life and family so we get a job, take classes or try for a promotion. These things take more time, which causes us to maybe spend a little more on conveniences and treats for a boost or reward. So many luxuries from years ago have been rolled into the accepted norm of today. I wonder sometimes what the reactions are to some of my topics in this column. I know I have a pretty conservative view on life but really try to keep my mind open to how others see things without judging. Okay, I judge sometimes, but not too often out loud … I feel like a dinosaur for being surprised when the tab for 11 people going out to a coffee shop tops $100. I want my kids to be better off financially than I was, to be healthier and better prepared for their future. I try not to criticize them for how they spend their money. They know I want the most for them and I try to set a good example. I see Sailors and their families the same way. I want to steer them all to good, sound sources of information leading them towards their best future, and share some of the answers to life’s tests before they have to face them. So here is my soapbox statement: Time is an important and valuable currency. Live your best life and keep that always as the goal, but be patient. Give attention to details in your life and home so that it is your sanctuary. Nurture your relationships. We make many personal choices. Trade-offs of time, convenience, and quality are made more often than we like. Time spent at work to earn more may get you caught in the perpetual loop of then needing to spend more on conveniences because you have no time. There is little value to that trade. Life is about what we do with our time. Spend it wisely. Save it when you can. Share it for good. Give it to those you love. Linda Port is a Navy wife, Navy mom, and lives in Pensacola, Florida.

JEBLCFS hosts 2015 Ombudsman Appreciation Dinner JEBLCFS Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH

Joint Expeditionary Base Little CreekFort Story hosted the Ombudsman Appreciation Reception at the City of Virginia Beach Convention Center on Oct. 1, to recognize the accomplishments of Navy and Marine Corps Ombudsmen. The reception brought together ombudsmen, their spouses, commanding officers and command master chiefs for a special dinner to acknowledge the ombudsmen's contribution to their commands and Sailors. More than 600 attended the dinner. Mrs. Martha Faller, an Ombudsman-at-Large for the chief of naval operations, was the guest speaker. “Commands, I want to thank you for recognizing the value and importance of the Ombudsman role,” said Faller. “Our program is not important because it’s required. It is required because it’s important! “Think of your Ombudsman as your insurance policy,” stated Faller. “You invest in an insurance policy each month because you want to know that you can rely on it in times of crises. That consistent support that you provide your Ombudsman by equipping them with things such as updated rosters and providing consistent outreach, benefits the command with the knowledge of the challenges affecting your families.” Navy ombudsmen are liaisons between commands and families, providing information to family members about Sailors' deployments and Navy affairs. Established in 1973 by former Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Elmo Zumwalt, the program has been an integral part of keeping spouses integrated in the command and aware of valuable resources. A key component of the program is to improve mission readiness. A strong command Ombudsman program, both ashore and afloat, helps to ensure that families have the information necessary to meet the challenges of a military lifestyle. Ombudsmen are Navy spouse volunteers, appointed by the commanding officer and serve two important roles: a communication link between the com-

manding ofﬁcer, and a professionally trained information and referral specialist for the command's families. "I cannot think of a more integral part in our Navy family support system than the role of Ombudsman,” claimed JEBLC-FS Command Master Chief Brian Schlicht, and master of ceremonies for the evening’s event. “Being the resource that family members can count on for guidance and direction when help is needed is invaluable to our Navy. “The Ombudsmen are instrumental to our mission readiness particularly for those commands that are deployed and on the front lines defending our freedoms,” said Schlicht. “It is a great comfort to our Sailors knowing their family back home has available resources and people they can reach out to in time of need. Our well trained volunteer Ombudsmen give our warriors peace of mind which allows them to stay focused to ensure mission accomplishment, but more importantly, that they and their shipmates return home safely." Representatives from throughout Navy commands in Hampton Roads used the reception to express their respect and admiration for the command ombudsmen. Leadership from Fleet Forces Command, the surface force community as well as the submarine, air forces, amphibious forces and Mid-Atlantic Region attended the reception. “All of you are here this evening because you care,” said Faller. ”Author Joyce Hiﬂer states that ‘Giving is so often thought of in terms of how much we give, but our greatest giving is of our time and kindness and even comfort for those who need it.’ “Ombudsmen, you make such a difference every day in the lives of the entire command,” lauded Faller. ”Commands, you make the difference for our Ombudsmen by realizing how vital their role is to maintaining a healthy, ready force at home and while at sea.”

Teaching teachers about the Navy: A ﬁrst-hand look at Navy life By Mark Alvarez Navy Recruiting District San Francisco

SAN DIEGO

Good relationships with the local community can be very valuable to a recruiting command. These connections are often the key to finding the best and brightest next generation of Sailors. One of the ways a recruiting command strengthens these relationships is through Educator Orientation Visits, or EOV for short. Educator Orientation Visits provide educators and school administrators a first-hand look at Navy life to better inform them about the opportunities a career in the Navy has for their students. Navy Recruiting District (NRD) San Francisco hosted 13 faculty members, from central and northern California schools, on a four-day getaway to San Diego, Sept. 21-24. The emphasis for this EOV was the large role female Sailors play in the Navy and the variety of roles they fulfill. Several of the educators in attendance came representing all-girl Roman Catholic high schools. “I feel like this opened my mind to what’s available to students,” said Nora Anderson, guidance counselor from Saint Francis High School in Sacramento, California. “It was great to talk to the females that are in the Navy right now, it’s interesting to get their perspective.” This trip accomplished several goals that are important to both the Navy and NRD San Francisco. “First and foremost, the young people graduating from the schools represented on this trip are some of the top talent in northern California,” said Cmdr. Ray Stromberger, commanding officer of NRD San Francisco. “It’s a priority of mine to present the Navy as a career option to them.” The EOV started with the group visiting Sea Combat Helicopter Squadron (HSC) 15, where they spoke with a female pilot and a female search and rescue medical technician about their experiences in the Navy. Next they visited Naval Medical Center San Diego, where they were treated to an extensive tour of one of the Navy’s premiere medical facilities. “When we tell them about the Navy, we’re just one more group of people talking to them,” said Stromberger. “When we show them the Navy, we leave a much more indelible and accurate impression.” The next day the group received a harbor tour of the Naval Base San Diego waterfront. Here they got to experience the sea spray in the air as they viewed Navy ships from a per-

spective few outsiders get to see. The day finished off with a tour of the nuclear submarine USS San Francisco (SSN 711). There they were exposed to the pungent experience of working in tight quarters with 127 of your closest friends. “I consider it an important mission to bring awareness of what the Navy is, what the Navy does, and what kind of people make up the Navy to as many people in my district as I can, especially those who may not ever have thought about the Navy seriously before,” said Stromberger. “The people on this trip are all respected members of their school communities, and their words touch a lot of people every day. This is a very efficient way of bringing a firsthand look at the Navy to a very large number of people for years to come." On the fourth and final day, with a plane ride in sight, the educators made the most of their last morning with a visit to the guided missile destroyer USS Stockdale (DDG 106). They were escorted by two female junior officers who took the group from top to bottom of this finely tuned American warship. “Getting these educators to come out and have a positive experience with the Navy is what we’re all about,” said Chuck Roeder, education specialist at NRD San Francisco. “There is no better tool, that I have for building these relationships, than EOV trips; they are absolutely crucial to our success with the schools.” Each Navy recruiting district is allotted one EOV per year. However, if they have a dedicated education specialist, they can find the money for more. As Roeder would tell you, he will get-in as many EOVs as he possibly can. For NRD San Francisco, this was their second EOV this fiscal year. These visits help the recruiting commands put a personal face on the Navy and build relationships that are mutually beneficial for the Navy and the schools, on into the future.

NMCB 3 Seabees strengthen skills while supporting the Army By MC1 Michael Gomez Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 3 Public Affairs

OKINAWA, JAPAN

A team of equipment operators from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3â€™s Alpha Company crane crew relocated cargo containers to support the Armyâ€™s 1st Battalion, 1st Air Defense Artillery (1-1 ADA) Regiment, Sept. 22, at Kadena Air Force Base Okinawa, Japan. Alfa Companyâ€™s mission covers a variety of skills and support roles all geared towards the ability to effectively and quickly mobilize our battalionâ€™s tools, materials, supplies and personnel in support of varied military and humanitarian operations. The crane team transported a total of nine separate cargo containers, marking their ďŹ rst crane operations during NMCB 3â€™s U.S. PaciďŹ c Command (PACOM) deployment. Equipment Operator Constructionman Devon Perkins made his ďŹ rst lift during the crane operations. â€œI was a little nervous at ďŹ rst, but Iâ€™m conďŹ dent in my skills,â€? said Perkins. â€œIâ€™ve had a lot of good training from my instructors.â€? Trust and teamwork is an important part of each lift, it is vital to complete a safe and successful crane operation. â€œThe ďŹ rst few lifts of the PACOM deployment are getting the crew back into the rhythm that made them successful during home port,â€? said Equipment Operator 1st Class Kyle Louiselle, crane crew supervisor. â€œThe collective experience the crane team gains from each lift can be used to make future lifts a complete success.â€? NMCB 3 is home ported in Port Hueneme, California, and is currently deployed to Okinawa, Japan. Its mission is to support Navy and joint forces throughout PACOM with construction projects and humanitarian missions in more than 13 different geographical locations.

Adm. Scott H. Swift, commander of U.S. PaciďŹ c Fleet (PACFLT), spoke at the Surface Navy Association (SNA) Pearl Harbor chapterâ€™s professional development event held at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam OfďŹ cerâ€™s Club, Sept. 30. The purpose of the event was to bring Sailors together and provide them with an opportunity to hear from the admiral, and have discussions on professional matters affecting the local surface warfare community and the PaciďŹ c Fleet. â€œWe are very pleased that Adm. Swift has taken the time out of his busy schedule to speak to the chapter,â€? said SNA Pearl Harbor Chapter President Cmdr.

Timothy Wilke. â€œIt is always incredibly beneďŹ cial when we can interact and communicate with our most senior leaders as it provides us an insight on leadership and some understanding and knowledge as to why we are doing what we are doing as a force; insight that is not always readily apparent from message trafďŹ c.â€? SNA serves as the professional association for surface warfare past, present and future. Its mission is stated as the promotion of greater coordination and communication among those in the military, business and academic communities who share a common interest in Naval Surface Warfare and to support the activities of the Naval Surface Forces. Swift spoke about leadership, necessary risk and diversity and

how they relate to problem solving in the Navy. â€œThe only way to harvest the diversity of ideas, the diversity of thought is through inclusive leadership,â€? said Swift. â€œCreating an environment where people can share their ideas without being criticized is extremely important.â€? Swift also spoke about how

each individual Sailor is important to the mission. â€œA great point I took away from Adm.

Lt. Cmdr. Heidi Lenzini Naval History and Heritage Command archaeologist Dr. George Schwarz, right, and University of West Florida (UWF) graduate student Nicole Mauro clean artifacts recovered from the crash site of a WWII Navy aircraft as Maddeline Voas, center, also a graduate student from UWF, photographs the artifacts at DeLand Naval Air Station Museum. The aircraft is being recovered from a property in Osteen, Fla.

Navy completes review of Florida WWII bomber crash NHHC, Communication and Outreach Division OSTEEN, FLA.

The Navy released its ďŹ ndings Sept. 30, in the investigation of a WWII era aircraft wreck site in Osteen. Dr. George Schwarz, an archaeologist at Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC), personally visited the site, examined recovered artifacts and helped organize an ongoing survey of the site to document additional wreckage. His investigation determined that the evidence from the site, informed by research conducted at NHHC of the 25 recorded aircraft losses in the area, is consistent with the wreck of an SBD-5 Dauntless bomber piloted by Ensign William T. Bellmire, who died in the crash. While conďŹ dent of the determination, 100 percent conďŹ rmation is impossible without speciďŹ c airframe identiďŹ cation evidence, which was not available. The crash occurred 16 miles south of DeLand Naval Air Station on Feb. 1, 1944, during a training mission. â€œThe accident history card for Ensign Bellmireâ€™s plane indicates high-speed impact and demolition of the aircraft, which is consistent with ďŹ ndings at the site,â€? said Schwarz. â€œStill, there has been no conclusive evidence from the wreck site that directly links it to Bellmireâ€™s aircraft.â€? Additionally, during Schwarzâ€™s visit to Osteen, a search of the site with dogs specially trained to detect human remains turned up nothing. News reports from the time of the accident indicate Bellmireâ€™s body was returned home and buried with military honors at the Delta Cemetery in Delta, Colorado. Those reports also indi-

cate that Bellmire, 25, was the only child of Clarence L. Bellmire and Shirley May Roady Bellmire, who were from Delta, but living in California at the time of the crash. The investigation began in December 2014 when NHHC was notiďŹ ed that what appeared to be aircraft wreckage had been turning up on the property of Osteen resident Rodney Thomas. He contacted Scott Storz, a volunteer at the DeLand Naval Air Station Museum (DNASM), who then reached out to NHHC. Schwarz visited the site Feb. 18-20 and worked with Thomas, Storz, and 45 volunteers from nearly a dozen organizations to wade through dense vegetation and sift through the Florida sand in search of more clues. More than 240 objects associated with the SBD-5 were excavated and documented, a site map of ďŹ nds was developed, and a protocol for recording future ďŹ nds was developed for local volunteers who intend to assist with continuing the search for aircraft remains under NHHC guidance. Schwarz says identifying wreckage and sites like this is important work. â€œIn addition to a better understanding of our history and heritage, site investigations are part of our obligation to those who choose to serve, we will not forget their service and their sacriďŹ ce,â€? said Schwarz. â€œNormally a site investigation like this one will provide a grieving family with some sense of closure,â€? he added. â€œBut in this case, with the body of the pilot recovered and returned to the family, the investigation is really being driven by the people we worked with in Osteen who are very interested in

honoring the life and service of an American Sailor who made the ultimate sacriďŹ ce in service to his country. I was proud to join them in that effort.â€? In accordance with federal law, the aircraft parts remain property of the government. Final disposition of the collected artifacts will be determined by NHHC after they are fully inventoried and assessed. However, in keeping with NHHCâ€™s mission to share naval history, it is likely most of the recovered objects will be loaned to the DeLand Naval Air Station Museum to display for their visitors. Thousands of pilots trained for war at DeLand Naval Air Station, which the Navy operated from 1942-1946. The site was returned to the city of DeLand after the war, and is still in operation today with one 4,300 foot-long runway and a longer one that is 6,000 feet. The Naval History and Heritage Command, located at the Washington Navy Yard, is responsible for the preservation, analysis, and dissemination of U.S. naval history and heritage. It provides the knowledge foundation for the Navy by maintaining historically relevant resources and products that reďŹ‚ect the Navyâ€™s unique and enduring contributions through our nationâ€™s history, and supports the ďŹ‚eet by assisting with and delivering professional research, analysis, and interpretive services. NHHC is composed of many activities including the Navy Department Library, the Navy Operational Archives, the Navy art and artifact collections, underwater archaeology, Navy histories, nine museums, USS Constitution repair facility and the historic ship Nautilus.

Seven Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 133 are currently assisting the Colombian marines Mobility Battalion No. 1 with the construction of a vehicle training course in Malagana, Colombia. Created ďŹ ve years ago, the mobility battalion is relatively new and in the future their training course will host Colombian Humvees, trucks, and tanks from other units. The course will help vehicle operators hone their tactical driving skills to include barrier navigation, rough terrain traversal and narrow area crossings.

This effort is in direct support of Colombiaâ€™s initiative to modernize their military and will help turn the Malagana Base into a pivotal hub for vehicle training. The Malagana base is located in an area that was liberated from narcotics trafďŹ ckers in 2008 and supports ongoing training for the forces involved in Colombiaâ€™s current internal ďŹ ght against drug trafďŹ cking around the country.

ENERGY ACTION MONTH 2015 Delivering power and presence Chief of Naval Operations Energy and Environmental Readiness Division WASHINGTON

Worldwide throughout the month of October, naval commands are using Energy Action Month 2015 as an opportunity to strengthen their workforce’s commitment to responsible energy use as an enabler of the mission. The Navy’s Energy Action Month theme for this year is “Power. Presence.” The theme makes clear the connection between the energy operating forces depend on and the Navy’s commitment to be on station when and where our nation requires, 24 hours a day, seven days per week. Without the fuel needed to resupply conventionally powered ships and aircraft and the electricity needed to run the shore facilities that support those operational platforms, the Navy’s ability to deter threats, put munitions on target and be responsive in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief scenarios could be seriously degraded. Navy commands will promote the Energy Action Month theme and activities with posters, electronic displays and social media posts that highlight energy saving tips, programs and initiatives. Numerous senior leaders throughout the Navy will release short videos on energy-related topics during October. The content will be posted on https:// www.facebook.com/navalenergy, command websites and social media channels. On Oct. 14, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus will participate in a roundtablestyle “ﬁreside chat” with David Crane, president and CEO of NRG Energy, Inc.; Joseph Kopser, co-founder and CEO of RideScout and Steve Jurvetson, who serves

on the board of directors of Tesla Motors and is managing director of energy venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson. The event will take place at National Defense University in Washington, D.C., and is open to the media. The Navy is also launching a new version of its Energy Warrior app this month, and will release a new series of videos highlighting Navy personnel who are exploring new technologies and pursuing innovative practices to optimize energy use. The app is available for free download at app stores and the videos can be viewed on the Navy’s Energy Warrior TV YouTube channel. In a recent video, Rear Adm. Doug Morton, director of the Chief of Naval Operations Energy and Environmental Readiness Division, challenged Navy personnel to find innovative solutions for reducing energy consumption and submit their ideas to energywarrior@navy.mil. “If you take a broad view, it’s clear that finding ways to conserve energy ashore and at sea enables combat capability and every other part of our mission,” said Morton. “Solving our energy challenges will be tough, but not impossible, and I believe there’s no problem our workforce can’t solve.” The Navy currently uses an average of 3.2 million gallons of fuel daily. Annually, the Navy accounts for 28 percent of DOD’s total petroleum use. Additional information and Navy resources for Energy Action Month are available at http://greenfleet.dodlive.mil/energy/ energy-action-month/.

expand program next year Continued from B1 provide a unique opportunity for Sailors and civilians to interact, and hopefully inspire others to serve their country.” The Navy’s five participants were selected by their community leaders, and while assigned to Amazon and FedEx, they will work as normal employees of each company. “We are proud to partner with the Navy in launching this program and are excited to learn from the officers during their time at Amazon,” said Dave Niekerk, an Army veteran and Culture & Engagement Leader at Amazon. “We know our company and customers will benefit from their contributions, as we do from all Amazonians with military experiences. These officers working on daily process improvements and solving complex problems will have the opportunity to make quick assessments, implement plans and drive them to completion.” Shannon A. Brown, senior vice president of Human Resources for FedEx Express, expressed similar sentiments. “FedEx is tremendously proud of our long association with all branches of the U.S. Military, and we look forward to working with Cmdr. Rice and Cmdr. Finley,” she said. Next year, the Navy is working to expand the program to 10-15 officers and 10-15 enlisted per year. The program is open to officers O-3 and above with greater than five years of service and who have completed their first operational tour, as well as to enlisted E-6 and above. Sailors participating in the program will remain on active duty, with the Navy paying all of their salary and benefits. Following their industry tour, Sailors will work with

their community detailer to receive a special assignment known as a utilization tour where their new skills will be put to best use by the Navy.

Continued from B1 Ronald Reagan departed Naval Base North Island in Coronado, California, Aug. 3, after completing a hull swap with the aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73). During her transit across the Pacific Ocean, Reagan completed a blue water certification, replenishment-at-sea, day and night flight operations, and damage control and medical drills. Reagan arrived in Yokosuka equipped with the Navy’s newest technological upgrades including a new local area computer network, the Consolidated Afloat Networking Enterprise Services (CANES). “Ronald Reagan is 11 years newer than George Washington, which means the [Reagan] has benefited

from 11 years of evolving technology,” said Capt. Christopher Bolt, Reagan’s commanding ofﬁcer. Although Reagan newly arrived to Yokosuka, the carrier brings about two-thirds of the George Washington crew who cross-decked to Reagan during the hull swap. “The Sailors aboard Ronald Reagan embody the spirit of the ship’s namesake, as President Ronald Reagan had a strong personal friendship with Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone,” said Bolt. “In the same way, Ronald Reagan Sailors will continue to strengthen ties between the United States and Japan.” In 2011, Reagan served as a refueling station for Japanese coast guard and U.S. military helicopters, providing humanitarian assistance

and disaster relief off the Sendai Coast of Japan during Operation Tomodachi, after the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami. “The United States values Japan’s contributions to the peace, security and stability of the Indo-Asia-Paciﬁc region and its long-term commitment and hospitality in hosting U.S. forces forward deployed there,” said Alexander. “These forces, along with their counterparts in the Japan Self-Defense Forces, make up the core capabilities needed by the alliance to meet our common strategic objectives.” Reagan and its embarked air wing, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5, provide a combatready force that protects and defends the collective maritime interests of the U.S. and its allies and partners in the Indo-Asia-Paciﬁc region.

Navy digital library expands its reach! Navy Installations Command Public Affairs WASHINGTON

For Sailors, families, retirees, dependents and civilians wanting 24/7 access to electronic books, audio books, reference materials, and newspapers, all free of charge, the Navy has a solution for you. The Navy General Library Program (NGLP) launched its new Navy Morale Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Digital Library website on Oct.1. The NGLP is a service of the Navy Installations Command and provides library resources for Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard personnel, their family members, retired and Reserve military personnel, Naval Academy midshipmen, Department of the Navy (DON) Delayed Entry Program personnel, DON and Navy Appropriated Fund civilian employees and DON contractors. “Users can access the Navy MWR Digital Library from any device with Internet connectivity, including computers, tablets and phones, anytime and anywhere,” said

Nellie Mofﬁtt, Navy General Library program manager. “It’s a user-friendly website. We’re very proud that the Navy MWR Digital Library is now available for our Navy customers.” A common access card (CAC) is not required to log in to the Digital Library. The Department of Defense SelfService (DS) Logon is the new authentication method for those without CACs. Current CAC users can choose to set up a DS Logon account or simply log on using their CAC. To get started, authorized users can go to the website at www.NavyMWRDigitalLibrary.org, click on “login” in the upper right corner of the screen, then click “login” under the DS logon logo, and enter their DS Logon username and password. Those who don’t already have a DS logon can register on the same page. “The Navy MWR Digital Library provides access to valuable resources for all of our customers, many of whom lost access when Navy Knowledge Online went CAC-only in August 2013,” said Mofﬁtt. “Our customers

should find this website much easier to navigate and use. We’ll continue to provide resources through NKO, but we hope our customers will find our new access point quick and easy to use.” Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) is responsible for operations and maintenance of shore installations world-wide and quality of life programs to support the Fleet, Fighter and Family. With more than 40,000 civilian and military employees operating 70 installations under 11 regions, the Navy’s shore enterprise ensures requirements necessary to train and operate the Navy’s fleet are maintained and ready; that naval installations are able to facilitate the manning, training and equipping of the Navy’s fighting force; and supports Navy families through Family and Community Services programs.

FOR ADULTS, THERE’S MORE TO CONSIDER THIS SEASON THAN JUST FLU Brandpoint

With ﬂu season in full swing, many adults are visiting their health care providers to discuss ways to stay healthy. Have you thought about other potentially serious diseases you may be at risk for as an adult? Shingles, the common name for herpes zoster, is a disease caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. Once a person has chickenpox, the virus never leaves the body. At some point later in life, quite unexpectedly, this virus can reactivate and erupt as shingles – a red blistering rash that can be very painful. “People with shingles have described the pain as sharp, stabbing, shooting, burning, throbbing and itchy,” says Dr. Adriana Perez, Ph.D., ANPBC, FAAN, assistant profes-

sor and Southwest Borderlands scholar at Arizona State University and co-director at the Hartford Center of Gerontological Nursing Excellence. “The ﬁrst symptoms of shingles are often felt, but may not be seen, and may initially include itching, tingling or burning in a speciﬁc area on one side of the face or body.” Any person who has had chickenpox is at risk of developing shingles, and 98 percent of adults in the U.S. have had chickenpox. The shingles rash can last up to 30 days and appears most commonly on a single side of the torso, but can appear anywhere on the body – even the face. Perez says, “A person’s risk for shingles increases as they get older. Because immune systems can weaken as people age, it becomes

easier for shingles to break through the body’s defenses.” There’s no way to predict if or when someone will get shingles, or how severe the case could be. For most healthy people, after the shingles rash heals, the pain and itch subside, and the blisters leave without a trace, but in some cases, even after the rash heals, there can be permanent scarring. There are approximately one million cases of shingles each year in the U.S., and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in three people will get shingles during their lifetime. Don’t wait until you or a loved one get shingles. Ask your doctor today about the risk, and for more information visit www.shinglesinfo. com. This information is provided by Merck.

How to conduct a DIY home energy audit StatePoint

This fall, why not consider making needed improvements in your home to help increase energy efficiency and save big in the long run? Here is a short checklist for a doit-yourself (DIY) home energy audit. Seal Air Leaks According to the Department of Energy, sealing air leaks around the house can save up to 30 percent of energy costs annually. To find leaks, conduct a thorough visual inspection for gaps and cracks by baseboards, where the walls and ceiling meet, around door frames, and near cable and phone line wall plates. Spot a gap? Caulk it. Use painter’s tape for a cleaner job. Hold the caulking gun at an angle for best results, and apply in a continuous stream. Improve insulation around windows and doors with weather-stripping. Measure the gap you need to fill to identify the width of weather-stripping needed and determine whether you should apply it from the inside or outside. Before starting, read the package instructions to ensure you’re using the right materials. Cut to size and install. Lastly, check if your fireplace flue is open. If so, close it when not in use for additional savings. Make Smart Upgrades One quick way to check your windows for inefficiencies is to look for condensation, frost and other moisture. The Department of Energy also recommends closing your windows on a dollar bill. If you can easily pull the bill out, the window might be losing substantial energy and may require repair or replacement.

Additionally, ENERGY STAR reports that homeowners who choose windows that have earned the ENERGY STAR save an average $101-$538 a year when replacing single-pane windows. If it’s time for an upgrade, look for ENERGY STAR qualified windows that offer innovative technologies and improve energy efficiency. Exterior remodeling companies like Window World, an ENERGY STAR partner, offer more high-performance options featuring technologies like a Warm-Edge Spacer System, which blocks escaping heat between glass layers. Additionally, the company sells windows made with high-performance low emissivity glass, featuring a microscopic silver coating that actively blocks heat gain during the summer and heat loss during the winter. To further improve efficiency, Window World’s replacement windows also contain Argon gas between their glass layers. Because Argon is denser than air, it acts as an ideal insulator. For information about innovative and cost-saving energy efficiency options, visit www.WindowWorld.com. Change Behavior Do an audit of not only your home’s features, but of the occupants as well. Are lights left on in empty rooms? Is the television on when no one is watching it? From switching to cold water laundry cycles to taking advantage of sunlight for warmth and light – modifications of energy and cost-saving resources don’t need to be a sacrifice. To save energy, improve the comfort of your home and do your part to be more environmentally conscientious, conduct a DIY energy audit. You’ll likely discover many areas in your home that should be improved.

The power of the shower: 6 tips to freshen up your bathroom StatePoint

Some people hop in the shower ﬁrst thing in the morning. Others prefer to save the experience for winding down at the end of the day. No matter your preference, there are a number of ways to easily transform your shower space into a productive, relaxing oasis. Here are six ideas to improve your shower, all of which can be completed in the time it takes for you to lather, rinse and repeat. ■ Clean Up Your Space: A clean, well-organized shower sets the tone for a truly relaxing experience. Declutter by installing shelves or storage pieces. Some shelves and accessories can pull doubleduty, featuring bath safety elements like grab bars to make your shower safer and clutter-free. ■ Home Spa Experience: Set the mood with music. Install a fan or light that also contains a Bluetooth

speaker. For example, Home Netwerks offers an option that even allows you to select the lighting based on your mood. Switch between white LED or soft blue light to set the perfect scene. ■ Maximize Relaxation: Consider replacing your existing showerhead with an option that offers multiple spray settings, like the new Magnetix hand showers from Moen, which feature six high-performance spray options, ranging from massage to combinations of soft and forceful, full-rinse sprays. A powerful magnetic dock allows for easy release and replace of the showerhead, so that even with your eyes closed, there’s no need to interrupt your Zen. ■ Sit Down: Sitting down in the shower is another way to relax while you scrub. For ladies, a shower seat will reduce the strain you put on your back and neck while shaving, and also help prevent spills and falls in the shower.

If you’re short on space, look for a model that folds down to provide a seat when you need it and then neatly tucks away when you don’t. ■ Maximize Space: A curved shower rod is another great addition for smaller showers. Check out Moen’s curved rods, which provide up to seven inches of additional space inside the shower, and come in a variety of styles and ﬁnishes to match any décor. ■ Beautify Your Surroundings: A bit of greenery can perk up any room. Add plants to give the illusion of a lush outdoor experience. A philodendron is a perfect option because it doesn’t need soil and can thrive in smaller containers. Bringing aromatic plants into the shower can also help calm the mind. Cut a few sprigs of eucalyptus or lavender and keep them in the shower. As it ﬁlls up with steam, the fragrance will carry throughout the room. Take a deep breath and say ah …

CHIKARA VISITS VIRGINIA; NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS CROWNED By Jonathan McLarty Contributing Writer

Chikara visited the Norfolk Masonic Temple to present their family-friendly and high-flying professional wrestling action for the fans in Virginia. “The Marta Complex” was headlined by a huge tag-team main event with the Campeonatos de Parejas titles on the line. Champions, The Devastation Corporation (Max Smashmaster and Blaster McMassive), took on Virginia’s own N_R_G (Race Jaxon and Hype Rockwell) in a two out of three falls match. Both teams scored a victory a piece, forcing one of them to break the tie. Devastation Corp. displayed their size and strength throughout the contest, even dropping Race Jaxon face first to the concrete floor at the feet of the front row fans. Rockwell was given a chokeslam on the ring apron by McMassive, allowing a double-team on Jaxon. McMassive, nursing a leg injury, missed a charge into the turnbuckles and it was downhill from there for the champions.

As Jaxon hit a superkick to McMassive, Smashmaster was bumped to the arena ﬂoor. Jaxon followed up with a dive to the ﬂoor onto Smashmaster as Rockwell delivered a tornado backbreaker to McMassive for the pinfall victory. The crowd came to their feet in celebration of the title change for the hometown heroes. The Challenge of the Immortals continued in Norfolk, as this is the major focus for Chikara in Season 15. Ten teams are involved, each seeking to gain points for their teams by winning the matches that take place within this tournament. The opening contest saw “The Kentucky Gentleman” Chuck Taylor (representing The Gentleman’s Club) defeating Jakob Hammermier (member The BDK) to earn points in the tournament. Several other matches took place under the Challenge of the Immortals umbrella. Silver Ant (Nightmare Warriors) took advantage of the injured arm of Oleg the Usurper (Arcane Horde) for the submission victory. Dasher’s Dugout (Mr. Touchdown/Icarus) defeated The Snake

Pit (Eddie Kingston/Argus). Following this match, Kingston and Icarus got into a verbal confrontation, referencing when Kingston lost the Chikara Grand Championship after a two and a half year reign to Icarus back in 2014. Crown and Court (Princess KimberLee/ Jervis Cottonbelly/Ice Cream, Jr.) were victorious over Battle Hive (Amasis/Fire Ant/Worker Ant) to score the point for their team. KimberLee, who demanded her opponents bring the fight to her, scored the pinfall on Fire Ant. Jervis Cottonbelly is known as the world’s sweetest man. He may defeat you in the ring, but he is polite while doing so. Cottonbelly embraced both referee Bryce Remsburg and ring announcer Gavin Loudspeaker after the contest. Also taking place within the Challenge of the Immortals tournament, Dasher Hatfield (Dasher’s Dugout) defeated Flex Rumblecrunch (The Wrecking Crew). Hatfield made use of his special elbow pad to score a knockout elbow strike for the victory. Mr. Touchdown and Heidi Lovelace cheered Hatfield on at ringside. Battleborn (Lucas Calhoun and Missile Assault Man) defeated United Nations members Prakash Sabar and The Proletariat Boar of Moldova. Kevin Condon appeared on stage, accompanied by The Lithuanian Snow Troll, with a somber demeanor. Condron is coming to grips with his violent removal of Orbit Adventure Ant from the Chikara universe. Calhoun/Missile Assault called out to Condron as he made his way through the crowd and exited the build-

ing. This was the “Special Move” match, where the fans in attendance were treated to a prize should the move (drawn at random) be used during the contest. The special move for this match was the Samoan Drop. Lucas Calhoun made use of this maneuver for the victory, awarding the fans with a limited edition Chikara travel cup. Following the main event, fans wanted more action from the Chikara crew. Answering to chants of “One more match” fans were treated to a wrestling encore. Young Lions Cup winner Heidi Lovelace defeated Frightmare with the Heidi-Can-Rana. The event was touted as Chikara’s ﬁnal visit to the Commonwealth, which is a shame. However, you can catch all of the Chikara action via their Chikaratopia streaming service. For only $7.99 a month, you can access over 545 hours of Chikara wrestling action. A seven-day free trial awaits anybody who wants to take the service for a test ride. Owners of the Roku streaming device can now add the Chikara channel for viewing through their television.

Bush bringing Texas spirit to Dublin needed to make, but did so with the broader perspective that comes with being a UFC fighter. Bubba Bush isn’t quite sure if “I definitely have some perspecthe infamous “Octagon jitters” had tive now,” Bush said. “Fighting in the anything to do with his first run at UFC for the first time is tough and victory in the UFC, but whatever the Octagon jitters are definitely a was going on with him just wasn’t real thing. I think I’ll be a bit more right. The born and bred Texan had comfortable this time around, but the the right amount of experience and crowd in Dublin is well known for titles on smaller stages in the sport bringing the energy. I’m excited to to give him the confidence he needed experience that firsthand, but it’s also to make the jump to the big leagues; something that I’m going to have to the only thing he needed to do was get used to quickly. execute the way he’d proven he could “To be honest, going to the UFC time and time again. feels like a step down at first in regard But that didn’t happen, and his to pressure.

South African middleweight also stumbled in his official promotional debut, which has set the stage for a high stakes showdown on the “Emerald Isle” on Oct. 24. Both men need a victory to establish themselves in the ultra-competitive 185-pound mix, but only one will have their hand raised at the end of battle. Bush is confident he’ll be the one walking back to the locker room with his head held high, and he plans on giving the passionate Irish contingent a show in the process. “I’m really looking forward to the fight this time and I’m focused on the work,” Bush said. “I’m going to stick around for a week after to see the sights, but there is a job to do first. I think it’s a really cool fight. We are both former champions in other organizations and he represents an entire country. We have very similar styles and I think he’s very beatable. I like the match-up and I’m going to go in there and handle my business.” Even though Bush may be a newcomer to the UFC ranks, traveling the globe is somewhat old hat for the 30-year-old College Station resident. The product of a military family, Bush is no stranger to being on the

move, and ever-changing scenery is commonplace in the nomadic world of the fight game. For his upcoming bout with McLellan, he will get the opportunity to check Dublin off the list of places he’s always wanted to visit. And the trip becomes even sweeter since it comes with rapid-fire MMA ruckus attached. “I’m really excited about fighting in Dublin,” Bush said. “It has always been a dream vacation spot, so to be able to go over there to fight then see the city a little bit is awesome. “There is certainly a lot of appeal to being able to travel the world,” he added. “I grew up in a military family and we traveled a lot. I have been living in the same town now for 10 years and it’s the only time I’ve ever been in the same place for that long, but I do love to travel and get to experience different places and cultures.” Although Bush will be looking to establish himself on the sport’s biggest stage later this month, he plans to do so while keeping his beliefs and causes visibly on his sleeve. As a proud Christian, his beliefs keep him grounded, but it is a fight he wages outside of the Octagon that presents a unique challenge for the up-and-

Bubba Bush

coming middleweight to handle. “One thing people need to know about me is that I ﬁght for Jesus Christ,” Bush said. “I have dedicated my life to being his servant and I try to put his name out there as much as possible. I’m also diabetic, so I’m trying to bring as much attention to the issue as I can in the hopes of maybe helping someone else who is also diabetic, because I don’t think there has ever been a diabetic who competes at this level of competition. “It deﬁnitely creates some tough spots, but everyone has their struggle. I don’t think I’m unique in that aspect. I just happen to have an ailment that a lot of Americans are currently dealing with and I’m trying to show that you can overcome any adversary in your way. You can do a lot more than you think you can. I’m a little out there. I enjoy the struggle. Fighting is in my blood and it’s something I love to do.”
