The amphibious transport docking ship USS Mesa Verde (LPD 19) steamed toward Haiti Oct. 7 to support Joint Task Force Matthew, which is overseeing U.S. military relief efforts in the island nation. U.S. Southern Command established Joint Task Force Matthew to oversee U.S. military relief efforts in Haiti. The task force is supporting U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) following a request for U.S. assistance from the government of Haiti. The addition of Mesa Verde brings amphibious, command and control, medium and heavy lift and road clearing capabilities suited for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR) missions. The 700 Sailors and Marines embarked aboard Mesa Verde also bring ship-to-shore expertise, the ability to make and transport fresh water, medical capabilities at sea and ashore, and many vital skills suited to helping after a hurricane. The Commander of Expeditionary Strike Group Two Rear Adm. Roy I. Kitchener said, “Some of the same capabilities that make amphibious Navy ships like Mesa Verde so effective in combat operations also makes them ideal to conduct humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions. We’re here to do all we can on behalf of the United States people.” Mesa Verde has a large well deck designed to flood with water which allows Landing Craft Utility

“

At the end of the day I will still be a boatswain’s mate and I will still be doing my job. I think it will be really hard for a lot of the fleet to absorb, but by the time I retire it will be the norm. I will always be a ‘Boats’ .. once a Boats, always a Boats.”

Most of the information people were basic things that I would have to adjust to. As far as my rating, he (CNO) didn’t say much about it, so I wouldn’t say that it will affect my rating.”

I don’t know how much it will affect me because I’m at almost 10 years now, but I guess it will play some part in there somewhere. It will give (junior Sailors) a lot more opportunities and will diversify their careers. My only question is whether this will affect advancement.” -PO2 Ashli Allmond

NAVSTA Norfolk Galley receives award By SN Stephanie M. Butler NAVSTA Norfolk Public Affairs NORFOLK

Naval Station (NAVSTA) Norfolk Commanding Officer Capt. Doug Beaver presented the galley with the 5-star accreditation for food service excellence. The five-star accreditation is the highest level in Navy food service evaluation. “I am extremely proud of the entire crew for achieving this award. This award is about doing it right on a daily basis,” Beaver said. “You all provide exceptional professionalism and commitment to the patrons each and every day and achieving this award is a totalteam effort. Congratulations.” The 5-Star accreditation for food service excellence is based on the review team’s on-site evaluation of strict

criteria regarding the overall quality of food service, including records, inventory practices, training, sanitation, and food preparation. To achieve the fivestar accreditation a facility needs to receive at least 790 points out of a possible 820. Once a five-star accreditation is awarded, the facility will retain this rating for one year. The Naval Station Norfolk Galley provides meals to an average of 700 Sailors daily. “We serve three meals a day regardless of what operations are going on, we are involved in every operation regardless if it involves us specifically, because we have to serve those meals and take care of those Sailors,” Petty Officer 1st Class Hilbert Smith said. “It’s a big accomplishment. We get to see all the hard work you put in pay off.” Navy galleys provide essential food services to all uniformed mili-

tary personnel at Navy installations worldwide. “Take pride in what you do, and do it well every single time, don’t only do it when people are looking. Do it because it is the right thing to do, and you will never go wrong,” Chief Warrant Officer Wanda E. Trammell said. Achieving a 5-star accreditation is a prerequisite to being a candidate for the Captain Edward F. Ney award. The Ney Memorial Awards Program is cosponsored by the Secretary of the Navy and the international food service executives association (IFSEA). IFSEA is a nonprofit food service association dedicated to enhancing the professional image and growth of persons serving the food service industry. The awards encourage excellence in Navy food service programs, with the objective of improving the quality of life for Navy personnel.

OCEANA CELEBRATES 2016 HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH By PO2 Jacob S. Richardson NAS Oceana Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH

NAS Oceana celebrated the contributions of Hispanic Americans during a Hispanic Heritage month event at the Dam Neck Annex Galley, Oct. 5. Hispanic Heritage month which runs Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 was established in 1968 under President Lyndon Johnson. In 1988, it was expanded by President Ronald Reagan to cover a 30-day period, paying tribute to the generations of Hispanic Americans who have positively influenced and enriched our nation and society. The unique dates of this heritage month were chosen to encompass the Independence Day anniversaries for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico and Chile. This year, the theme “Embracing, Enriching, and Enabling America,” represents Hispanic Americans walking together with those who share in the honor of calling this nation home. “We hold these events to unite ourselves and to create strong community bonds within the service and as Sailors,” Hispanic Heritage Month Coordinator Senior Chief Wilfred Romero said. “It gives us an opportunity to celebrate the diversity of the Navy and help each other better understand how we as Sailors, although coming from different backgrounds, can come together and do great things.” Capt. Rich Meadows started the event off by impressing upon the audience just how large the Hispanic community is in the Navy. “There are more than 57,000 Hispanic Sailors currently serving in the Navy

and more than 16,000 Hispanic civilian employees working for the Department of the Navy,” Meadows said. “Hispanic Sailors make up a total of 15 percent of the Navy, 2.5 percent are serving as flag officers and 11 percent represent the E8-E9 leadership. Representation is present in every rank and in a wide variety of career fields.” Olga Torres, president of the Hampton Roads Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, was invited to the event as the guest speaker. “This year’s theme invites us to reflect on Hispanic Americans, not only embracing America and its culture, but bringing a culture of their own; language, traditions, values, work ethic and ideals add to the vitality and meaningful legacy of our countries cultural framework, said Torres. “It’s these events that remind us to celebrate all cultures within the community and to continue to foster cultural enrichment and diversity.”

Torres continued by thanking all the Sailors and Marines in the audience for their service and drove home just how important serving each other and the community as a whole is. “Community is a very important word to me,” said Torres. “Whether you’re Hispanic or not, we are all a part of the same community and we should all take the time to serve the community, our country and strive for the betterment and enrichment of both.” “I am honored to have a frontrow seat to many of the wonderful things that are happening in our community, the Hampton Roads community, and can tell you that we continue to embrace, enrich and enable the community and its many members,” Torres said. “We embrace the American dream because we have self-determination, we value the liberty that our country affords us and we are thankful for all of you that serve and maintain that freedom.”

NAS Oceana began its observance of domestic violence awareness month (DVAM) with an event at the base chapel Oct. 4. DVAM is committed to educating personnel, their families and the community on domestic violence, its effects and the tools available to combat domestic violence and seek help and support. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence defines domestic violence as a pattern of behavior in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner. It can affect anyone of any gender at any stage of a relationship. This year the Navy has chosen, “Silence Hides Violence,” as its DVAM theme to encourage every member of every community to use their voice against domestic violence. “DVAM is extremely important because it not only does it raise awareness of domestic violence, but also helps to stop it,” Victim Advocate for NAS Oceana Family Advocacy Program (FAP) Larissa Sutherland said. “It gives us a way to reach people who otherwise would not have heard of the family advocacy program and the people they can turn to, like victim advocates, for support and assistance.” FAP representatives offer a number of services to victims of domestic abuse, including connecting victims to emergency services and counseling, shelter, legal services and other resources on and off base. They can also explain reporting options, provide information about military and civilian response to domestic violence, and explain transition compensation available to family members of service members who are separated from the military due to a dependent-abuse offense. Domestic violence survivor Natalie Purdie was invited to the event as the guest speaker. “When I finally was given the opportunity and found the courage to speak out and let people know what happened to me, I didn’t want to hide behind a curtain, I wanted to people to see my face and hear my voice, I wanted to connect with people and make a difference in their lives,” Purdie said. “That was the beginning of my journey to becoming who I am now, these events give me the ability to reach out and help others who have experienced what I have, hopefully even give those people still experiencing abuse the courage to speak up.” According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, on average, and 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have been victims of some form of physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime In Virginia alone in 2012, 17,664 domestic violence crimes were reported to Virginia law enforcement and Virginia law enforcement made 20,718 arrests for domestic violence, only 26% of these arrests led to convictions. In addition, 117 Virginians were killed in domestic violence-related homicides, comprising 34% of all Virginia homicides deaths (117 of 344). “We as people, part of a community, all need to be more aware of how to help and care for each other,” Sutherland said. “Participating in awareness events, talking with survivors and receiving their knowledge, hearing about all the resources available and finding the strength to reach out to each other and use those tools proactively; that is how we better ourselves, the community and the lives of those around us.”

24 MEU host combat artists on board Bataan By PO3 Mutis A. Capizzi USS Bataan Public Affairs ATLANTIC OCEAN

While the amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5) hosted Amphibious Squadron 8 (PHIBRON) and 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) for integrated training Sept. 11-23, the MEU didn’t only bring their combat gear with them, they brought four extremely talented artists with them. Combat artistry is part the National Museum of the Marine Corps and MEUs frequently contract artists to deploy with units to record events and experiences using various artistic techniques, such as sketching, painting and sculptures. The United States Navy also has official combat artists assigned to Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC). Col. Craig Streeter, the USMC official combat artist and Kristopher Battles, one of three official Navy artist;

along with Michael Fay, a retired USMC official combat artist, civilian illustrators, Richard Johnson and Victor Juhasz, brought their sketch pads and pencils to draw the mission and people that make up the Bataan, PHIBRON 8 and 24th MEU hoping to bring an awareness to the public of each units mission. Battles said that his whole purpose right now is to tell the Navy story. As the Navy and Marine Corps are one team, one fight, Battles believes Bataan is the perfect setting for this visit. “I think we [combat artist] serve a function that is very important for morale, very important for the public affairs mission and very important for bridging cultural gaps,” Battles said. “Sometimes we find that our cultures aren’t always unified, and I think arts can bridge those gaps and open up an avenue of conversation.” Juhasz expressed how great his experience on Bataan was

and how welcoming everyone was to him as he shadowed various departments and captured their daily activities in his artwork. “Every day is a new challenge; every day is a new opportunity to capture something that’s happening on the ship that is somehow advancing the story,” Juhasz said. “And the access here on the boat with the Marines and with Naval personnel has been shockingly open; to just sit and be with them and draw and follow their activities.” Battles shared that the response he and the other artists get from Sailors and Marines makes all the time put into creating these pieces worth it. “When you are seeing a piece of art that is being made; when an artist sat down and took the time to PO3 Raymond Minami draw a person or the activity, to draw the gear and the Richard Johnson, an artist embedded with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), shows a sketch to Sailors depicting environment of these young a boiler being ignited for steam powered propulsion aboard the Sailors and Marines, that says amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5).

said. “It’s like, wow, the Navy and Marine Corps send artists because they care enough about what we do to capture this.” Streeter said he is hopeful

that throughout the Marine Corps other units will take notice about what happened with the 24th MEU and the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group and will want to em-

bed combat artists with them as well. “I hope other units reach out and that they will want to do something like this,” Streeter said.

NAVSTA Norfolk holds suicide prevention training By PO3 Kassandra Jagers Naval Station Norfolk Public Affairs NORFOLK

Sailors and civilians of Naval Station (NAVSTA) Norfolk gathered for Suicide Prevention training. So far this year, the Navy has lost 42 Sailors to suicide. The training highlighted the importance of suicide intervention and the warning signs associated with it. “Suicide is a traumatic event that has impacted each one of us in some way,” NAVSTA Norfolk Commanding Officer Capt. Doug Beaver said. “Understanding the warning signs and risk factors can allow us to empower, to identify, to prevent and to intervene early to save lives.” The training was provided by Leslie Cristea and Ted Cremer from the life skills unit, Fleet and Family Support Center, Norfolk. “It’s okay to not be okay,” Cristea explained. “There is strength in admitting you need help.” Cristea and Cremer emphasized that there are

“

many underlying causes of suicide. “We all have something that burdens us whether it is a less than perfect marriage, being new parents or financial responsibilities,” Cremer said. Cristea described that victims go through an emotional pain equivalent to any physical pain a person may feel, like childbirth or an injury. “Suicide is the result of someone wanting to put an end to the emotional pain they have,” Cristea said. “Sometimes the person feels that is the only way to get the pain to go away.” The Navy provides multiple programs that can help members manage emotional grief. Chaplains are available 24/7, and counseling services are always available at Fleet and Family Support Center.

training As a result of EWTGU efforts, the Navy’s EW and cryptologic warfighting proficiency is better positioned to meet the growing threats presented by our adversaries.

Sailors from Navy Information Operations Command Norfolk Electronic Warfare Technical Guidance Unit provided advanced electronic warfare (EW) and cryptologic tactics and systems training to forward-deployed naval forces in Rota, Spain, during two sessions held in June and July. The purpose of the training was to familiarize tactical watchstanders with EW and cryptologic capabilities and limitations, while honing their skills in the tactical implementation of electromagnetic maneuver warfare, anti-ship missile defense and real-time spectrum operations. EWTGU warfare tactics instructors specialize in providing tactical unit-level EW and cryptologic training across the fleet training continuum. “Due to the advances in adversary capabilities and today’s dynamic threat environment, it is essential we integrate EW and cryptologic and improve our tactical training while fully exercising our pre-planned response capabilities to defend against increasingly sophisticated and advanced threats,” EWTGU electronic warfare tactics instructor Cryptologic Technician (Technical) 1st Class Justa Brunot said. “One of our main objectives during these missions is to provide leadership and tactical watchstanders with the tools and knowledge to be successful.” The integration of EW and cryptologic operations were a focal point of the EWTGU training, which included EW and ship signals exploitation space coordination and pre-planned responses, tactical employment of softkill systems, countermeasures and spectrum operations. “The primary line of effort across EWTGU is to ensure EW and cryptologic combat readiness for surface combatants,” EWTGU electronics warfare tactics instructor Cryptologic Technician (Technical) 1st Class Regis Lance said. “Our adversaries are becoming more proficient and capable of employing advanced systems technology, therefore we must improve our training across the training continuum.” EWTGU’s mission is to advance fleet electronic warfare and cryptologic readiness and warfighting capabilities through fleet training and assessment in order to prepare ships to face the challenges of a dynamic threat environment and achieve mission success. Navy Information Command (NIOC) Norfolk’s mission is to advance cyber, electronic warfare and information operations warfighting capabilities for naval and joint forces. NIOC Norfolk offers tailored tactical training across the optimized fleet response plan. 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 Chief of Naval Operations 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.

USS Bulkeley highlights versatility during backto-back exercises

SN Colbey Livingston Sailors aboard guided-missile destroyer USS Bulkeley (DDG 84) participate in a damage control drill during international exercise Cutlass Fury 16.

Twelve Sailors assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) participated in a community relations (COMREL) event with the ForKids organization in Chesapeake, Virginia. Organized by the command’s Women at Sea program, service members assisted the facility with landscaping maintenance and picking up litter and debris. ForKids was founded more than 20 years ago by concerned citizens in an effort to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty by providing families with shelter in Norfolk and Suffolk. The organization works with approximately 175 families in the Hampton Roads area, to provide housing, education and support services for families experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. “We work with all types of families to provide everything from holiday dinners to tutoring services,” ForKids facility coordinator Tammy Long said. “As a nonprofit organization, we rely on volunteers to do work around the facilities. I know when a Navy volunteer group is coming to help us I can count on them to get the job done efficiently and effectively.” The ForKids COMREL was just one of many opportunities Women at Sea provides for Lincoln Sailors. “Women at Sea offers a way for women on the Lincoln to get involved,” Women at Sea chair Lt. Kelly Kelleher said. “We have Sailors from junior enlisted to officers get together, and I really see them enjoying their time at meetings and events like this.” The Lincoln’s Women at Sea chapter provides a forum for women to connect with each other on the ship. “We are more than just a Navy community, so it is important to volunteer and show support for the community we live in,” said Kelleher. Lincoln is currently undergoing Refueling and Complex Overhaul (RCOH) at Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries. It is the fifth ship of the Nimitz-class to undergo an RCOH, a major life-cycle milestone. Once complete, Lincoln will be one of the most modern and technologically advanced Nimitz-class aircraft carriers in the fleet and will continue to be a vital part of the nation’s defense.

By PO3 Magen F. Reed USS Bulkeley Public Affairs GULF OF MAINE

On the heels of international anti-submarine exercise, Cutlass Fury 16 (CF16), the guided-missile destroyer USS Bulkeley (DDG 84) continues to strengthen our network of partners by participating in multi-national exercise Frontier Sentinel 16 (FS16), Sept. 26-28. FS16 is a full-scale, live exercise conducted in the Gulf of Maine under command of U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFF), along with Canadian Joint Task Force Atlantic (JTFA), and U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Atlantic Area (LANTAREA). In its 10th year, the goal of Frontier Sentinel is to practice, evaluate, and develop recommendations for enhancing capabilities in response to threats to North American maritime homeland security. Bulkeley’s crew says it has been pushing the pedal to the metal the last few weeks with their participation in multiple international exercises, transitioning from the antisubmarine warfare nature of CF16 to the anti-terrorism evolutions of FS16. “It’s a good test of our response times and how well we work together,” Petty Officer 2nd Class Benjamin Wagner said. “It helps us see how fast we can react to a real threat and keeps us relevant in real

exercise The primary aim of FS16 is to promote USFF, JTFA, USCG LANTAREA, and other federal government interagency planning and interoperability at the operational and tactical levels with an emphasis on testing and validating applicable plans, treaties, and standard operating procedures to enhance maritime security operations within each command’s area of responsibility. world situations.” FS16 is comprised of four ships, two helicopters, and the staff of multiple government departments and agencies from both the U.S. and Canada. Together they aim to accomplish training objectives including inter-organizational communications at the operational and tactical levels, shared maritime domain awareness, collaborative operational planning and performing coordinated operations. “This exercise is about coordination, practice and threat containment,” Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 72 Lt. Sonia Herrera said. “It is in our best interest to practice as we fight. Our Navy is great, but we will continue to improve when we coordinate and learn from our allies and teach them our best methods as well.”

Until Friday, Aug. 25, Atherton had never met Karen. He was driving home and came around a curve on I-40 in Memphis, Tennessee, where he noticed there was a car smoking on the side of the road. Atherton pulled over and his Naval training kicked into action – things were anything but calm. “I pulled off the road, her car still smoking and uninterested motorists zooming by on the highway. “ “I ran over to Karen and checked for a pulse. Good to go. I checked for breath but there was none. Her mouth was full of blood,” Atherton said. “Suddenly, she coughed blood onto me and took a big breath.” Atherton held her hand and his goal was to keep the woman conscious until the paramedic’s arrived. “Karen opened her eyes and stared blankly and then frantically at me. I held her hand and looked into her eyes and told her ‘I’m Jeff, you were in an accident, but I’m going to be right here with you until paramedics arrive.

Don’t try to talk, but blink your eyes if you understand me.’ She gave a few slow blinks. I told her everything was going to be ok, but I wasn’t convinced that it would.” As other motorists stopped and stared; afraid to approach the bloody woman; Atherton barked orders at the strangers, just like his Naval training. One called 911, the other searched the car for other people, one directed traffic and made room for emergency responders. “I held her hand and talked to her for what seemed like an eternity. She came in and out of consciousness. I demanded that she keep her eyes on me. She squeezed my hand and we went through a few more blinking drills. That’s all I could do. There was no limb to tourniquet or any arteries to apply pressure to,” Atherton said. First responders arrived. The police, fire truck and an ambulance all arrived and Atherton left. Days passed but eventually Atherton found out that Karen was alive and he got to speak to her. “To hear the voice of someone who you are almost certain is dead is an indescribable feeling,” He said. She told him what hospital and room she was staying at and that she wanted to see him. Atherton left work, grabbed some flowers and picked up his wife as an emotional support system. “I walked into her room and saw her fa-

miliar blue eyes, but this time a blood-free smile. She reached out and grabbed my hand. It was the same feeling as when she was lying in the grass on the side of the highway fighting to stay alive, but this time, she knew she was holding onto me. ‘You saved my life’ she whispered, having just been released from the ICU this morning,” Atherton said. “I really didn’t know what I was doing but I did know how to keep calm. I did know how to assess the situation and direct others to help out. I also knew that this woman dying on the side of the road needed something to focus on and I was glad for it to be my voice. I did what I did and I know what I know be-

Atherton said you don’t have to be a first responder or service member to be a hero, but what he wants is that people, stop and think. Stop and help, stop and hold someone’s hand and tell them it will be okay. Petty Officer 1st Class Jeffery Atherton received the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal for his unwavering determination, wise judgment, and complete dedication to duty. Petty Officer Atherton reflected credit upon him and upheld the highest traditions of the U.S. naval service.

Mason Sailors volunteer at equestrian school By PO3 Janweb B. Lagazo USS Mason Public Affairs MANAMA, BAHRAIN

Sailors from guided-missile destroyer USS Mason (DDG 87) volunteered during a community relations (COMREL) project at an equestrian school in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Eighteen Sailors of different ranks and rates volunteered at Al Muharraq Equestrian, where each Sailor was assigned a horse for whom to care. “This COMREL allowed us to see how the horses were taken care of and [allowed] us to ask questions while working with the stable hands,” Petty Officer 1st Class Richard J. Mitchell said. “Trying to take care of the horse was interesting and fun. They are very strong, but also very intelligent and it was sometimes difficult to get them to do everything you wanted.” Each Sailor was instructed on how to use the proper protective equipment during the visit. They were then taught how to properly groom each animal as well – brushing their hair, oiling their hooves, and washing the entire horse. To finish the session, the Sailors walked the horse and, eventually, rode them. “When I was assigned a horse to groom, I was nervous, but it ended up being a great experience,” Petty Officer 1st Class Reginald Nero said. “The horses seemed to love being groomed. As I rode the horses for the first time, it was awkward at first, but then it started to become natural.”

Mitchell explained there was no language barrier. They were able to talk freely, and all of the staff was very friendly and nice. “I believe the COMREL helped in building bridges with the people of Bahrain simply by doing a good deed and assisting the staff with grooming and washing the horses, ponies and donkeys,” Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael D. Sanchez said. “You can tell the people cared about their animals and having a group of Sailors assisting them gave them a good feeling.” Al Muharraq Equestrian was founded in 1980 and was previously called Smaheej Stable. They are the first small animal park in the Kingdom of Bahrain and currently have 460 members. Mason, part of the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group (CSG), is deployed to support maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility. Along with Mason, Eisenhower CSG includes CSG 10 staff, Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 26 staff, aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69), Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 3, guided-missile cruisers USS San Jacinto (CG 56) and USS Monterey (CG 61), and DESRON 26 guided-missile destroyers USS Stout (DDG 55), USS Roosevelt (DDG 80) and USS Nitze (DDG 94).

Sextortion schemes target service member online By PO1 RJ Stratchko Flagship Military Editor NORFOLK

With many dating and social media sites available to choose from it is easy to become a target of a wide variety of online schemes. Sextortion is one you want to be aware of because its effects can be costly. There you are, on a dating site and a person says they like you and want to talk. They’re young and attractive. You as a service member accept their request to chat which turns into exchanging photos or a video chat. This is when their communication quickly becomes sexual in nature and they ask for you to perform sexual acts for them. What you need to be careful of is if they recorded it on their end. This is where the conversation changes. The conversation; where you were taking a risk in hope of meeting the person, turns to the person threatening to release the video to your friends, family and colleagues unless you pay the blackmail they request. If you pay, the perpetrator asks for more. It may be embarrassing to report what is happening but that is exactly what you need to do. “Sextortion is a cyber crime perpetrated against unwitting victims who are approached or initiate a casual conversation via social media and then seduced into engaging in online sexual activities. After fulfilling the sexual requests, which are recorded without the victim’s knowledge

or consent, the victim is threatened with public exposure and embarrassment if the victim does not pay a specific sum of money to the perpetrator, usually through a wire transfer,” NCIS Investigator Karl Morrisette said. Increasing numbers of DOD personnel are falling victim to sex extortion aka “sextortion” schemes. According to Naval Criminal Investigative Service, Sextortion occurs when a person secretly records an online sexual interaction with a willing participant and then threatens to share the images or video with friends and family or post the footage to an online site, unless the participant sends or deposits money. Information from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) indicates that the most common DON victims are men in the E-2 or E-3 rank aged 19 to 26. Some of the precautions you can take to avoid falling victim to sextortion: - Adjust your privacy setting on social media profiles so the public has a limited view of your information. - Be careful whom you accept when receiving a friend request. - Refrain from participating in sexually explicit acts online or exchanging compromising video or photos. If you or someone you know is being targeted or says this is happening to them, remember to do the following: - Contact your command and your local NCIS office. - Do not make any payment.

- Save all communications between the perpetrator and you. “The use of the Internet and social media has made it easy to target DON personnel,” NCIS Division Chief, Analytical Support to Operations & Investigations Megan Bolduc said. “The same general approach to luring military service members into an extortion trap has been seen in 12 NCIS field offices that have opened cases and produced criminal intelligence on the topic.” Although it seems military men are the most-targeted, there have been some instances which enlisted females have become collateral victims by having profile information stolen and used as a false identity. Where the perpetrator uses the fake identity to approach male service members online. It creates a sense of security and trustworthiness to the victim to communicate with the fake profile. Sextortion does not only affect the victim, but is also affects the people who the perpetrator has access to from your profiles friendship where they can gain information on your friends, family and colleagues. Who will also become at risk for exploitation. If a service member or someone you know has been victimized, immediately contact your command and notify NCIS via the NCIS hotline at 1-877-579-3648 or www.ncis.navy.mil. Information may also be submitted anonymously to NCIS by texting 274637 (CRIMES) or using the Tip Submit smartphone application.

The HotC Horde, as they have been called by the executive officer, consists of the programs on board that are available to Sailors such as financial and health management, suicide prevention, mentorship, the first class petty officer association (FCPOA) and second class petty officer association (SCPOA), chaplain, coalition of Sailors against destructive decisions (CSADD), drug and alcohol program advisor (DAPA), sexual assault prevention and response (SAPR), command managed equal opportunity (CMEO), the deployed resiliency counselor (DRC), family advocacy program (FAP), command master chief (CMC) and the executive officer (XO). Bataan Executive Officer Capt. Corey Keniston and coordinator of HotC, said that the purpose of the initiative is to create awareness of upcoming events while sharing specific efforts toward the primary goal of the event, and synchronizing with other programs in the spectrum to increase efficiency for support of the event and discover how all of the programs work better in concert with one another when focused on a particular goal. “The Health of the Crew initiative is directly related to the combat readiness of Bataan,” Keniston said. “There are many programs onboard that provide resources and services to assist our Sailors in reaching their full potential as a Sailor, a leader, and a Naval warrior.” Keniston went on to say that by all of the programs sharing and coordinating efforts on specific goals, productivity and effectiveness will increase, making Bataan even better prepared to carry out and complete its missions. “I think the HotC is an excellent initiative that the executive officer developed,” secretary of Bataan’s CSADD Quartermaster 3rd Class Kendria L. Houseworth said. “It is also a great way to physically see how each organization within the Bataan community correlates with one another.” Houseworth added that the job of the initiative is to highlight the support programs onboard and make Sailors aware of the help they can receive when needed. CSADD is directly involved with HotC because they aim to reach Sailors before they make that destructive decision that may have lasting negative impacts on the rest of their military career and lives in general. “We are a group of motivated Sailors helping Sailors,” Houseworth said. “And we are looking for more motivated Sailors to come help expand CSADD.” Mrs. Ingrid Smith, currently assigned as the DRC aboard Bataan, agrees with Houseworth that this initiative is vital to have well-rounded, healthy Sailors who are prepared not only for deployment, but for whatever life has to offer. “The HotC Horde is an innovative way to bring all of the sailorization programs together to ensure that important topics are being presented to the crew,” Smith said. These programs and topics will educate the Sailor in how to manage their personal and professional lives so they can achieve their full potential.”

Fire Prevention Week: Don’t Wait – Check the Date! By Ricky Brockman Navy Fire and Emergency Services, Special Contributor to Navy Installations Command Public Affairs WASHINGTON

Navy Fire and Emergency Services department, in conjunction with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), wants you to check to see if your smoke alarm is outdated as part

of the annual fire prevention week Oct. 9-15. A recent survey conducted by the NFPA revealed only a small percentage of people know how old their smoke alarms are, or how often they need to be replaced. “That lack of awareness is a concern for Navy Installations » See FIRE | B7

“Our intention, since Navy COOL’s inception, has always been to eventually include DON civilians,” assistant program director for Navy COOL Michael Talley said. Navy COOL has helped more than 52,000 Sailors obtain civilian credentialing, which can contribute to career development while on active duty and when a Sailor joins the civilian workforce, possibly even as a federal employee. DON Civilian COOL was developed in partnership with U.S. Fleet Forces Command and is the first of its kind for DOD civilians. The initial group of 37 federal civilian occupations includes fields such as information technology, human resources, administrative, financial, engineering, education, legal, supply and security careers. It also has information for the cyber security workforce. The program director for Navy COOL Keith Boring said, his team plans to continue connecting credentialing prospects for more

The Bonhomme Richard expeditionary strike group (BHR ESG) joined two guided-missile destroyers from the Pacific surface action group (PAC SAG) for a series of interoperability drills in international waters, Oct. 3-4. The BHR ESG employed the capabilities of USS Spruance (DDG 111) and USS Decatur (DDG 73) to practice defense in depth of the amphibious ships, including anti-submarine warfare and air defense scenarios and live-fire events with embarked helicopters from Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 49 and the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. “As I said in April when the PAC SAG deployed, this type of training with the BHR ESG will pave the way for the inaugural deployment of an ESG embarked with joint strike fighters (F-35B Lightning II) and escorted by a SAG like this one, which I call an up-gunned ESG,” Commander of U.S. Pacific Fleet Adm.

DON’T GET SICK, GET STUCK From TRICARE

Every year in the early fall, flu season begins again. The flu makes most people feel sick and miserable, but for some people it can be deadly. Getting the flu vaccine every year is the best way to protect you, your family and your community from the flu. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that everyone six months and older get the flu vaccine every year. The flu virus is always changing, so the vaccine changes every year. Getting the shot one year probably won’t protect you the next year. Getting a flu shot every year not only lowers your chances of getting the flu, but it means that people you come in contact with are less likely to get the flu from you.

TRICARE beneficiaries can get the flu shot at no cost from their doctor, a participating retail network pharmacy or from a military hospital or clinic. If you get the shot at a pharmacy, make sure that you get it from the pharmacist. If it is administered by another health professional at a clinic within the pharmacy, it may not be covered. If you get your flu shot from a military hospital or clinic, you may want to call ahead to find a good time and make sure it is available. This year, the recommended flu vaccine an injectable flu shut. In previous years, a nasal spray, called FluMist was also available. This year, the CDC recommends against using the nasal spray, due to questions surrounding its effectiveness. Military hospitals and clinics will not offer FluMist this year, and TRICARE will not cover it if you get

it from a pharmacy or doctor. Talk to your doctor if you have allergy concerns about the flu shot. TRICARE covers the flu shot for all beneficiaries. Service members should follow their Service policy for getting the shot and getting the proper documentation so it is recorded in their readiness system and medical records.

The flu is a serious disease that has the potential to spread quickly and easily. Getting the flu shot doesn’t mean you can’t get the flu, but most years it lowers your chance of getting the flu up to 60 percent. Most side effects are temporary and mild, such as soreness and redness at the injection site, cough, nasal congestion, sore throat and chills.

Gridley legacy

Gripping and grinning with former Gridley and current Gridley Navy chiefs ... Gene Hanson, retired chief with a naval career that spanned World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam War until he retired off USS Gridley (DLG 21) in 1964, is surrounded by Navy chiefs from USS Gridley (DDG 101), Naval Hospital Bremerton, Naval Base Kitsap during an impromptu gathering of sea stories and memories shared from one generation to the next.

Douglas H Stutz

Navy chiefs honor history, heritage By Douglas H. Stutz Naval Hospital Bremerton Public Affairs BREMERTON, WASH.

A Navy chief from USS Gridley past met with Navy chiefs from USS Gridley present in a meeting of more than just an exchange from one era to the next. There was a distinctive sharing of Navy chief petty officer honor, history, and heritage that took place Sept. 24 in Bremerton, Washington. Despite the passing of time â€“ over 52 years â€“ a shipâ€™s plaque and a few other keepsakes from former Leahy-class guidedmissile cruiser USS Gridley (DLG 21), originally presented to retired Chief Gene Hanson in 1964, were proudly bestowed upon the current Chiefs Mess of Arleigh Burkeclass guided-missile destroyer USS Gridley (DDG 101). At age 91, Hanson wanted to ensure the cherished mementos and associated Navy tradition were passed on to a worthy beneficiary. The meeting happened due to the efforts of Chief Stephen Vanzant of Naval Undersea Warfare Center Keyport dive locker, who initially met Hanson in August as a Navy chief selectee. After learning of Hansonâ€™s career, the idea of linking the past with the present materialized and contacts were made to make it happen. â€œIt was just a complete honor to be able to organize this,â€? Vanzant. Hanson was one of the initial crew members, a plankowner, of guided-missile cruiser Gridley, which was also his last ship. After guided-missile destroyer Gridley changed homeport to Naval Station Everett this summer, he became curious about comparing and contrasting the two ships bearing the same name. When Gridley Command Master Chief Kassel K. Ndiaye learned it would prove much easier for them to travel to see Hanson, he immediately solidified their commitment to making the visit. A traveling contingent of the commandâ€™s chiefs made the trek over to meet and greet the Hansons. â€œTo travel here and meet Gene Hanson and his wife Adele ... this is all very emotional,â€? said Ndiaye. â€œWhatâ€™s important is that Gene is so gracious to share what he received with us. That means a lot.â€? Hanson downplayed his service record and the attention he was receiving, all of which everyone else thought was highly appropriate. His habit is deflect praise and not complain. â€œI thank you all for wasting your time here on a Saturday; Iâ€™ve had a great retirement,â€? Hanson said. â€œIt seems every time I need something that the chiefs from Naval Hospital Bremerton (NHB) and now Naval Base Kitsap (NBK) are always there to help me navigate. I am glad that I held on to the plaque I got from the Gridley when I retired and that I found it to be able to share with the new Gridley.â€? Perhaps to understand the significance of what passing along remembrances means to a retired Navy chief, a glimpse into Hansonâ€™s Navy career is required. His 22 years in uniform spanned three tumultuous decades with involvement in three wars, from the North Atlantic and Pacific in World War II to off the Korean Peninsula during the Korean War, to the South China Sea in the Vietnam War. Before Gridley, he served aboard cargo ship SS Frederick L (DAU 851), cargo ship Media (AK 83), attack transport ship USS Calvert (APA 32), aircraft carrier USS Midway (CVA 41), landing ship medium USS Oceanside (LSM 175), and destroyer USS Rogers (DD 876). He was in Shanghai, China in 1946 as part of what was called the â€œmagic carpet fleet,â€? ships that were assigned to transport the troops home at the end of the war, including former prisoners of war and wounded service members. He even recalls pulling into a port on the Manchurian coast of northern China at the time.

â€œThere was an old â€œChina fleetâ€? retiree there who had a bar; boy was he glad to see a Navy ship pull in,â€? Hanson recalled. Born in 1925, the Wisconsin native enlisted in 1942 and served aboard ammo ships and destroyers as a gunnerâ€™s mate. Ask Hanson about steaming in the cold North Atlantic during those early dark days of the 1940s, and heâ€™ll let whoever once said salt water doesnâ€™t freeze know if theyâ€™d been in a slow-moving convoy out of England, theyâ€™d find out the truth of the matter if they made it through. In rough weather, there were few places inside an ammo ship the sea couldnâ€™t reach. Wet gear never dried and dampness would spread through a compartment. Even in good conditions and decent weather, getting a convoy of up to several hundred ships across the Atlantic was a major challenge without a collision or some other mishap. It was worse in winter. The main convoy route cut through a region of the North Atlantic which had some of the worldâ€™s foulest weather for any mariner to handle. Ships encased in ice or blinded by snow had to struggle to keep their place in the formation. Seas would run up to 60 feet high, break the backs of some ships, and smash lifeboats to splinters. Men who were blown or washed overboard often froze to death in seconds. Even in the most arduous conditions, peak alertness had to be maintained at all times. At night, the crew kept bone-chilling vigils, searching the white waves for a conning tower of a German U-boat submarine. Hansonâ€™s watches would be 10 hours or more. It was tedious. There were bouts with boredom. The strain and exhaustion were mingled with a combination of fear and fatalism. The year Hanson joined the Navy, 120 ships were sunk by German U-boats in May and another 119 in June. â€œWe had a submarine surface in the middle of us once and we all opened fire,â€? Hanson remembered. â€œWe did our best, but a lot of our ships at that time had outdated equipment left over from the last war. Hell, even the ship would complain every time we went through a wave.â€?

one anymore.â€? He was demobilized. After 30 days, with jobs scarce, he came back into the cloth of his nation and the career he knew. He shifted platforms to become a â€œTin Canâ€? (destroyer) Sailor, steaming off the coast of Korea in 1951, lobbing shells to provide artillery support and help with the evacuation of wounded in a war that began June 25, 1950. The fighting would go on for three long years. When he and his ship returned to stateside there was no flag-waving, nor has there been any victory parade or celebration noting the end of hostilities between Americaâ€™s allies in South Korea and the north. Itâ€™s not a slight to the American service member, as would be the case in the decade after. â€œWe didnâ€™t get any welcome home from the war, because that war is still going on,â€? Hanson said. â€œThere [still] has been no declaration of peace.â€? The 1960s took Hanson from the Pacific Northwest back to the South China Sea and Southern Pacific waters. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy increased the number of American military advisors to South Vietnam. Along with them came military supplies that were shipped into Saigon, mostly from the then-giant Navy base at Subic Bay, Republic of the Philippines. Hanson helped provide escort duty and fire support on a cargo ship and aircraft ferry ship taking helicopters to South Vietnam. On Dec. 11, 1961, aircraft ferry USS Core (CVE 13) reached Saigon carrying 33 C-H21C twin rotor helicopters with pilots and ground crews. They were to support South Vietnamese units, but would remain under U.S. Army control and operation. Those 400 men in the two helicopter companies would

raise the total number of U.S. military personnel in-country Vietnam to 1,500. â€œMany more,â€? the New York Times reported, â€œare expected.â€? â€œBack in â€˜62 most of us didnâ€™t even know where Vietnam was, let alone having heard of it,â€? Hanson related, steaming from Subic Bay to Saigon, a world away from his home, until his last ship Gridley. Hanson retired at Long Beach Naval Station, California in 1964. He was part of a group of six or seven. There was no ceremony. He collected his pay and got his new ID. Out of Hansonâ€™s 22 years of naval service, 18 were â€œhaze-gray and underway.â€? The convoys and deployments he went on are simply too numerous for him to accurately remember. He returned to Bremerton, where heâ€™d been before. He went to work at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard as a ship-fitter, completing another career there. He knew Bremerton as a good military town. â€œIt still is,â€? he attested. When Hanson returned from three wars, there was no red carpet. He has gone out of his way to make sure that doesnâ€™t happen again. Over the past dozen years as NHB began sending waves of doctors, nurses, hospital corpsmen and support staff deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, Hanson was there to render support as they departed. It didnâ€™t matter if it was well before 4 a.m. He was there with well-wishes and care packages. He was also there every time the individual augmentees returned from deployment. This time, chiefs from Gridley, NHB and NBK were there for him, and will continue to be, as long as he needs help navigating.

â€œ

We had a submarine surface in the middle of us once and we all opened fire.â€? -Retired Chief Gene Hanson

There was even one convoy trip which started out in Liverpool, England, got rerouted, and wound up all the way in Calcutta, India â€“ supplying needed ordnance to troops fighting the Imperial Japanese army in Burma. Another trip took him from the south of France, with victory in Europe announced, to south of Manila in the Philippines, where his and 2,000 other ammo ships waited for the orders to invade the Japanese mainland. Orders that would mean more hard fighting. Those orders never came. His ship and many others loaded up as many troops from the far Pacific as they could for the long voyage home. When his ship docked in New Jersey, there was no celebration. No fanfare. No pomp and circumstance. The big celebration was up in New York City. A young petty officer like Hanson had done his duty and survived, which was more than many could say about those years of war. â€œEvery day was dangerous,â€? Gene explained. â€œThe sea was dangerous; the Uboats in the Atlantic and the submarines in the Pacific were dangerous. Hell, being on an ammo ship was dangerous, but after a couple trips, it didnâ€™t bother any-

USNS Maury draws a crowd in New Orleans

USS Frank Cable concludes Vietnam engagement From USS Frank Cable Public Affairs

By Rebecca Eckhoff CAM RANH BAY, VIETNAM

The submarine tender USS Frank Cable (AS 40) completed a successful technical and goodwill port visit to Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, Oct. 4. Frank Cable, along with the guided-missile destroyer USS John S. McCain (DDG 56), were the first U.S. ships to moor in the port facility. The port visit followed the conclusion of the sea phase of Naval Engagement Activity Vietnam. NEA Vietnam has evolved from annual port visits to Da Nang by U.S. Navy ships, which began more than a decade ago, to a multi-day bilateral naval engagement ashore and at sea. â€œThis was a great opportunity to visit a culturally-rich country and continue to develop a relationship based on friendship and mutual respect,â€? Frank Cableâ€™s Commanding Officer Capt. Drew St. John said. â€œFrank Cable Sailors and Civilian Mariners continued their reputation of being great ambassadors. With the assistance of our gracious hosts, we were able to provide a small amount of support for the needs of the S.O.S Childrenâ€™s Village. Whether it was through the community relations project or just getting off the ship and exploring the area, the lasting impression we made here during our short visit, I hope, pays dividends in the future.â€? During the visit, Sailors and Military Sealift Command Civilian Mariners explored, learned and engaged with the

people of Vietnam. Sailors also volunteered for a community relations project at the S.O.S Village, helping foster a better understanding between the U.S. and the people of Vietnam. July marked the 21st anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between the United States and Vietnam, and these activities are designed to foster mutual understanding, build confidence in the maritime domain, and develop relationships between the people and navies of both nations. More than 500 Sailors and Civilian Mariners make up Frank Cableâ€™s crew are currently deployed to provide vital flexibility to the fleet commanders, extending the range and impact of U.S. naval forces. â€œWe still have a mission to do,â€? St. John said. â€œThe crew is prepared to support the fleet in the Indo-Asia Pacific region, strengthening ties and demonstrating our flexibility as a repair ship in the U.S. 7th Fleet.â€?

NEW ORLEANS

More than 1,000 visitors toured USNS Maury (TAGS 66) while the ship was berthed in downtown New Orleans from September 29 to October 2. Maury, the Navyâ€™s newest oceanographic survey vessel and the sixth ship in the Pathfinder Class fleet operated by Military Sealift Command and technically controlled by the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO), was open to local schools and NAVOCEANO employees, who will man the shipâ€™s future survey teams, on Thursday and Friday, followed by tours open to the general public over the weekend. NAVOCEANO Commanding Officer Capt. Greg Ireton explains Mauryâ€™s future role in the U.S. Navy fleet, saying, â€œMaury will collect critical oceanographic data around the world that will keep our ships safe at sea by providing better safety of navigation information to the fleet.â€? He goes on to say, â€œWe are thrilled to have gotten to share her with the city of New Orleans before she deploys globally.â€? Throughout the four-day open house, Maury was host to 1,057 visitors. While on board, visitors heard from subject matter experts from NAVOCEANO and Fleet Survey Team in scientific and engineering fields, as well as military personnel from the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Mine Warfare Center. All three commands are based at Stennis Space Center in southern Mississippi and support Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command. Maury, named for Cmdr. Matthew Fontaine Maury, known as the â€œPathfinder of the Seasâ€? and father of modern oceanography, is paving the way for a new class of ships better equipped to support autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) survey operations. The ship is 353 feet in length, 24 feet longer than the previous T-AGS design, to accommodate a moon pool used for launch and recovery of AUVs and other oceanographic systems. NAVOCEANO, comprised of approximately 800 military, civilian and contractor personnel, uses a variety of platforms, including ships, aircraft, satellite sensors, buoys and unmanned underwater vehicles to collect oceanographic and hydrographic data from the worldâ€™s oceans.

RAGNAR: A FUN AND MOTIVATIONAL WAY TO STAY NAVY FIT

TRICARE retail pharmacy network to change in December

By Lt. j.g. John Thiele Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron 1 Public Affairs WHIDBEY ISLAND, WASH.

From Naval Hospital Bremerton Public Affairs BREMERTON, WASH.

Change is coming Dec. 1 to the TRICARE retail pharmacy network, and Naval Hospital Bremerton (NHB) can help if needed. The TRICARE pharmacy contractor, Express Scripts Inc. (ESI), will implement a change by adding all Walgreens pharmacies to the network and removing all CVS pharmacies, including those in Target stores. Beneficiaries who continue to fill a prescription at CVS after the change will pay the full cost of their prescription up-front, and will then need to file a claim for partial reimbursement as from any other nonnetwork pharmacy. There are several key points behind this decision. The network change will mean there is now more than 57,000 retail pharmacies in the U.S., including other pharmacy chains, such as Rite Aid, Walmart and supermarkets that will remain in the TRICARE retail pharmacy network. The change will also expand access to 24-hour, drive-through pharmacies, with an estimated 98 percent of beneficiaries having a network pharmacy within 5 miles of their homes. Additionally, NHB pharmacies at the main facility, NHB Refill Annex, Branch Health Clinic (BHC) Bangor, BHC Everett, BHC Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, and the TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery program are lower-cost pharmacy options still available to beneficiaries. NHB Pharmacy Department head Lt. Cmdr. Eric Parsons, cited Naval Hospital Bremerton pharmacy and the TRICARE pharmacy home delivery are both an excellent, money-saving alternative for beneficiaries. “We’ve been advocating the Home Delivery option for several years; it offers our TRICARE beneficiaries excellent care and service in addition to

lower out-of-pocket costs when compared to obtaining chronic maintenance medications from the retail network,” Parsons said. Parsons attested Naval Hospital Bremerton has an extensive formulary of medications available for beneficiaries, and Home Delivery provides an accommodating option for TRICARE beneficiaries to get their maintenance medications, especially for those who live farther away from a military pharmacy. “These choices are both less expensive than using the TRICARE retail network,” Parsons said. “Home Delivery can offer the convenience of having maintenance medications delivered directly to your home. A beneficiary will pay more to get their prescription filled at a non-network pharmacy, and they very well might need to pay up front and then file a claim for reimbursement.” Parsons added if someone decides to try the Naval Hospital Bremerton or BHC Everett pharmacy, they can call ahead for a new prescription at 360475-4425 to make sure their medication is available. Home delivery is the most convenient and cost-saving way to refill a prescription. There are no shipping fees for up to a 90-day supply of medication to any address in the U.S. or overseas duty stations. For TRICARE home delivery,

there are no out-of-pocket costs for up to a 90-day supply of generic medication, versus $8-47 co-pay for up to a 30-day supply from a TRICARE retail pharmacy. Home delivery can also provide automatic prescription refills so a beneficiary does not have to worry about last minute phone calls or dashes to the pharmacy. Online — Use our online prescription refill service by accessing TRICARE here. It is secure, fast, and no cost. To switch to home delivery for pharmacy refills, beneficiaries can also visit www.tricare.mil/homedelivery or call 1-877-782-8731. Beneficiaries who continue to get select maintenance drugs at a network pharmacy will pay 100 percent of the cost. This does not apply to active-duty service members. Patient costs vary based on where a beneficiary gets their prescription filled and the type of drug – generic, brand name or non-formulary. Beneficiaries can save on cost by asking their doctor to electronically-submit prescriptions for formulary medications to the NHB pharmacy for the subsequent filling instead of to a network pharmacy. “We are available to assist,” Parsons stressed.

While many Friday afternoons in the aviation community conclude with an all officer’s meeting at the Officers Club, the afternoon of July 15 this year served as only the starting point for 12 Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron (VQ) 1 officers embarking on a unique mission. Listening to electronic dance music blaring from a van and dressed in a bright pink tank top that read “Don’t Put Me Down For Cardio,” one of the aviators was shucking down oysters – a rather non-traditional pre-race meal to the untrained eye – as the crowd gathered dressed in costumes for the main event. It became obvious all too quickly this would be no normal run. This was Ragnar! Comprised of a grueling, approximately 196 miles, the Ragnar Northwest Passage relay race began at the Canadian border in Blaine, Washington and wound its way around La Conner, through Anacortes, over Deception Pass, and mercifully finished in the small town of Langley on the southerly end of Whidbey Island. Covering some of the most beautiful scenery Washington has to offer, the Ragnar Relay was an incredible, albeit intimidating, prospect to even the most seasoned of athletes. This year’s Ragnar saw two teams from VQ-1 compete. On the teams were Lt. Cmdr. AJ Tereshko, Lt. Tyler Darr, Lt. Mark Phelps, Lt. Matt White, Lt. Lee Murphy, Lt. Sefram Carlile, Lt. Justin Roberts and Heather Newman – the better half of Lt. Rob Newman. Among the Ragnarockers were Dave Pucci, Ensign Amber Bixler and Ensign Nico Wooten. Running against other teams such as “Chafing the Dream,” “Twisted Blister,” “Crazy Monkey Attack,” and “Strangers with Candy,” the VQ-1 contingents knew they had their work cut out for them. The teams also knew training for such a demanding race would prove difficult. Team members attempted to balance the demands of supporting worldwide signals intelligence (SIGINT) operations with training, but more often than not extra flight hours trumped logging extra foot miles. The mission always came first, the race second, but they were undeterred. During the Ragnar, the 12 man teams divided into 2 vans. The six members in van 1 ran individual legs between 2-10 miles while the other team members navigated, recovered and offered encouragement. After completing six legs, van 1 passed the baton to van 2 at major transition points and the cycle repeated every four hours. Motivated by music and the reward of pizza and cold drinks at the finish, the teams from VQ-1 pushed themselves hard to the finish. The Spooks44! team, led by the unflappable Darr, crossed the finish line at 25 hours, 54 minutes, averaging a 7:55-minute mile. This impressive time ranked them 26 out of 532 teams and the number one public service or military team in the entire event.

NMCB 5 relieves NMCB 4 as deployed Seabee battalion By PO2 Adam Henderson Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 5 Public Affairs OKINAWA, JAPAN

Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 5 assumed charge of all Western Pacific Region Naval Construction Force missions during a relief in place and transfer of authority ceremony at Camp Shields in Okinawa, Oct. 1. The relief in place and transfer of authority ceremony (RIP/TOA) marked the official end of NMCB 4’s deployment. “NMCB 4 completed a very successful deployment by executing a detailed and meticulous turnover at all sites. NMCB 5 spent a year in homeport getting ready, and we are,” Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 5 Commanding Officer Cmdr. Matthew Riethmiller said. “Our country, Navy, families and friends, as well as our hosts in nearly a dozen countries across the Pacific expect us to be the very best – prepared for any conflict or disaster. It’s daunting, but the men and women of five have consistently redefined what is possible for a Seabee Battalion. We have the watch.” Riethmiller relieved Cmdr. James Cho in officially assuming all duties and responsibilities from the previous battalion. Before a RIP/TOA can occur, a weeklong inspection and review are conducted of all equipment, supplies, projects, facilities, and civil engineering support equipment (CESE). “This is my first time in Okinawa and I am looking

forward to not only working here but to also getting to see and experience the culture,” Petty Officer 3rd Class Maria Correa said. When a Seabee battalion deploys, they do not travel with their equipment. Instead, all of the construction equipment and supplies that they will use are already at their deployment sites. A detailed turnover must be conducted before the oncoming battalion commences work. “The equipment and supplies that the battalion uses are called a table of allowance (TOA). For an NMCB, the entire TOA, which is worth more than $70 million, is designed to support operations and sustainment of approximately a 600 [person] Seabee battalion, conducting forward contingency and humanitarian assistance operations anywhere in the world, NMCB 5’s assistant supply officer Ensign Andrea Villarreal said. Construction equipment and support equipment (CESE) undergoes a more thorough inspection, in a process called

the battalion equipment evaluation program (BEEP). The BEEP inspection is designed to transfer all special knowledge of CESE maintenance, operations, and techniques to the relieving battalion. “If any tools, parts, or other supplies are found to be missing during the inspection, they need to be on order or placed on order,” Villarreal said. “We have to maintain the TOA at 100 percent readiness.” The equipment will be used to complete construction tasking in locations across the Pacific. NMCB 5 is the forward deployed Pacific NMCB ready to support major combat operations and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations, and to provide general engineering and civil support to Navy, Marine Corps and joint operational forces. Homeported out of Port Hueneme California, NMCB 5 has 14 detachment sites deployed throughout the United States and Pacific area of operations, including two locations in the Philippines, Timor Leste, Palawan and Cambodia.

| 5,600-square-foot Navy Exchange to be built

BARRACKS

Continued from B1 The base’s old barracks, currently at full capacity, house 800 junior enlisted personnel. Warrior Hall can accommodate about 450 personnel and is designed chiefly for E-4s, but may house some E-3s, if there is sufficient space. Based on the overseas housing and utilities allowances for sailors in the E4 or lower pay grades, housing 450 enlisted in the new barracks could amount to savings of about $940,000 per month. Junior personnel arriving in Bahrain are expected to move directly into on-base housing if space is available. This will cut down on temporary lodging allowance and per diem costs. Officials estimate the cost of new barracks will be recouped in about four to six years. NSA Bahrain commander Capt. Cory Howes played up the security offered by the new facility rather than the cost savings. “I’ll talk about cost in one breath,” Howes said. “The big benefit I mostly talk about is it improves the safety and security of our junior Sailors.” Though Bahrain is a great host nation with excellent off-base accommodations, Howes said, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral John M. Richardson wants his E-4 and below on base for several reasons, including access to facilities they require. It also reduces destructive behavior, Howes said. The new barracks meets the CNO’s standards for E-4 housing, NSA Bahrain public affairs said. Each service member will have a private room in a 153-square-foot suite and share a connected bathroom and kitchenette with one other person. Amenities include internet, storage space, individual refrigerators, hot plates and other appliances. The building also has 42 washing machines, 84

dryers, an indoor community space and an outdoor grilling facility. The barracks will also have resident advisers to help ensure the sailors’ standard of living and appropriate behavior, Howes said. The advisers, who will primarily be E-6s, will have their own suite with the second room serving as a living room and office space. To meet the Navy’s energy initiatives, the barracks have solar water heaters and motion-sensor lighting. The first group of residents moved in Thursday and the base hopes to reach capacity by January. “I’m excited, these rooms are nice,” Petty Officer 3rd Class Preston McDowell said, one of more than 100 E4s who are moving from the old barracks to Warrior Hall. “These are definitely an upgrade from the old barracks.” The opening of the barracks, originally slated for January 2015, was delayed because of required redesign of the irrigation and climate-control systems, NSA Bahrain public affairs said. Still, the building was about $500,000 under budget, costing an estimated $44.6 million, base public affairs officials said. Warrior Hall is one of several construction projects aimed at bringing more support, accommodations and services closer to the NSA Bahrain II waterfront, which has seen a lot of the base’s mission growth in recent years, Howes said. Other construction projects along the waterfront include new transient quarters and a galley. A brand new 5,600-square-foot Navy Exchange is also being planned for NSA II. “A Sailor comes off a ship, now its a five-minute walk to his room,” Howes said of the new barracks.

FIRE | Replace smoke

alarms every 10 years Continued from B1 Command (NIC) Fire & Emergency Services, NFPA, and fire departments throughout the country,” director NIC Fire and Emergency Services Carl Glover said. “The reason behind the concern is because smoke alarms don’t last forever.” According to NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm Code®, requires smoke alarms be replaced at least every 10 years; but because the public is generally unaware of this requirement, many homes have smoke alarms past their expiration date, putting people at increased risk. “Time and again, I’ve seen the life-saving impact smoke alarms can have in a home fire, but I’ve also seen the tragedy that can result when smoke alarms aren’t working properly,” Glover said. “That’s why we’re making a concerted effort to educate residents about the overall importance of smoke alarms, and that they do have a life limit.” As the official sponsor for more than 90 years, NFPA is promoting this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Don’t Wait – Check the Date! Replace Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years,” to better educate the public about the critical importance of knowing how old their smoke alarms are and replacing them once they’re 10 years old.

“Navy fire departments around the world will be hosting activities in support of fire prevention week,” Glover said. “Check with your local Navy fire and emergency services department for a schedule of events.” According to Glover, to find out how old your smoke alarm is and its expiration date, simply look on the back of the alarm where the date of manufacture is marked. The smoke alarm should be replaced 10 years from that date, and not the date of purchase. Glover also recommends smoke alarms be tested monthly and batteries should be replaced once a year or when they begin to chirp, signaling they’re running low. For more information on smoke alarms and this year’s fire prevention week campaign, “Don’t Wait – Check the Date! Replace Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years,” visit www.firepreventionweek. org/. Navy Installations Command is comprised of about 52,000 military and civilian personnel worldwide and is responsible for the operations, maintenance and quality of life programs in support of the Navy’s fleet, Sailors and their families.

SECDEF recognizes three Navy personnel for contributions in the face of adversity From Office of the Chief of Information WASHINGTON

Representatives from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and various DOD agencies joined The Secretary of Defense Ash Carter at the Pentagon’s auditorium today to award the DOD’s 36th annual disability awards. “As national disability employment awareness month begins, we’re reminded of our commitment to live the values we defend — to make the Department of Defense more open and accessible to all who can make a contribution to our mission,” Carter said. “So I encourage all DOD components and military departments to renew their commitment to increase the employment of individuals with disabilities.” Eighteen individuals were recognized, including three members of the Department of the Navy team. Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, the honorable Franklin R. Parker, recognized Marine Staff Sgt. Adam Leblanc, Ms. Christina Pate and Mr. Alec Forsman.

“

The dedication, perseverance, and breath of accomplishments these men and women represent are tremendous.” -Franklin R. Parker “I was totally shocked, honor and surprised by this award,” acquisitions lead with the Naval Systems Warfare Center Christina Pate said. “To be recognized amongst peers outside of my command is priceless.” Pate has been a civil servant for more than 33 years and is currently serves as the equal employment opportunity diversity council hair in Panama City, Florida. “The dedication, perseverance, and breath of accomplishments these men and women represent are tremendous,” Parker said. “Their service and sacrifice are an inspiration for all, and a genuine example of the triumph of the human spirit. I am honored to be able to recognize these extraordinary individuals on

behalf of our Department.” Kirk Bauer, the executive directive of Disabled Sports USA, was the ceremony’s key speaker. A combat-wounded veteran from the Vietnam War, he was twice awarded the Bronze Star for heroism. He is also the recipient of the Purple Heart for wounds he sustained in combat, including the amputation of his left leg above the knee.

vide funding for costs associated with initial credential attainment and maintaining and renewing the credential. Navy COOL may only fund application fees, exam fees and annual maintenance fees for DON civilians in the Navy’s cyberspace information technology and cyber security workforce. For most employees, some costs may be funded by the Navy if an employee’s command approves and budgets for it. In other cases, veterans eligible for the GI Bill may tap into that resource. The DON COOL program is part of a joint-service initiative to promote civilian credentialing opportunities for military service members and civilian employees. DON COOL reflects the Navy’s ongoing commitment to Sailors, Marines and civilians in providing

world-class training, experience and opportunities that will serve them well, whether during activeduty, federal service or post-service civilian careers.

| Strike Group on routine patrol in U.S. 7th Fleet

Continued from B1 traditional amphibious ready group along with the staff structure to deploy with surface ships, expanding the mission sets and survivability of the ESG. The PAC SAG deployed in April as part of a three-ship group consisting of Spruance, Decatur, USS Momsen (DDG 92) and embarked helicopter detachments of HSM 49 to conduct maritime security operations in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. While Spruance and Decatur conduct routine patrols in the Western Pacific, Momsen is conducting an Oceania Maritime Security Initiate (OMSI) mission. Under the operational control of U.S. 3rd Fleet, the PAC SAG is commanded by Destroyer Squadron

(CDS) 31 and assumed the role of sea combat commander during the time the two groups operated together. As sea combat commander, CDS 31 managed the maneuvering of all ships and oversaw execution of planned drills. “Integrating with the ships of the BHR ESG and associated staffs has been a great experience for us as we wind up the PAC SAG’s deployment in the Western Pacific,” Commander of CDS 31 Capt. Charles Johnson said. “As we operate in the South China Sea, building on the work the ESG and SAG have accomplished, it demonstrates the flexibility of our Navy to operate forward and bring the right capability to the arena.” The BHR ESG is currently on a routine patrol in U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations in support of security

and stability in the region. The BHR ESG is commanded by Rear Adm. Marc Dalton and the ESG 7 staff, headquartered in White Beach, Okinawa, Japan. BHR ESG units include flagship amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6), amphibious transport dock ship USS Green Bay (LPD 20), amphibious dock landing ship USS Germantown (LSD 42), Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 25 and the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. The 31st MEU consists of Battalion Landing Team (BLT) 2/4, Combat Logistics Battalion (CLB) 31, and Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 262 Reinforced.

Hampton Roads Sailors educate and entertain at Children’s Museum of Virginia By PO2 Charles Oki Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group 2 Public Affairs PORTSMOUTH

Sailors from several Hampton Roads area commands volunteered their Saturday to educate children about the U.S. Navy during Military Appreciation Day at the Children’s Museum of Virginia Oct. 8. Sailors and volunteers from 12 different commands from Naval Station Norfolk and Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story took part in the event held in support of Fleet Week Hampton Roads and the Navy’s 241st birthday. “Events like these are great because we really get to show people what we do in an up close environment,” Petty Officer 2nd Class Kylee Fuller said, assigned to Naval Station Norfolk’s Military Working Dog Division. “Normally we can’t let kids get close to the dogs, while they’re working, so this gives us the chance to let the kids pet the dogs while also showing them the obedience training they receive.” The event featured military and civilian static displays; science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) activities; various demonstrations; and a performance by U.S. Fleet Forces Band “Woodwind Quintet.” Sailors also spoke to visitors about their experiences in the Navy and their career fields, and how those experiences relate to education. “It’s a great opportunity to show kids how their education can apply to their future,” Petty Officer 3rd Class David Eninger said, assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 12. “Kids always love playing with the robots and I think it’s a great way to show them how science and engineering apply to the real world.” The event one of several held as part of Fleet Week Hampton Roads which was created to help increase awareness of the Navy’s mission and to celebrate and rec-

ognize the sacrifices and contributions of Navy Sailors, past and present. “The museum is all about giving kids an environment where they can learn while having fun and having the Navy here with all of their equipment has been a great experience,” exhibit supervisor for the Children’s Museum of Virginia Tim Michalski said. “The kids really enjoyed driving the robots, seeing the working dogs, and watching the Navy band. Overall it has been a fantastic event and we’d be honored to be a part of the event in the future.” Sailors and civilians from the Hampton Roads Naval Museum, Naval Information Forces, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Atlantic, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group 2, Naval Recruiting Command, Drug Education for Youth (DEFY), The Flagship, U.S. Fleet Forces Band, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Fire & Emergency Services, Naval Station Norfolk Military Working Dogs, and Fleet & Family Support Center Norfolk took part in the event.

This weekend: Visual Arts Week 2016 By Sarah Hill The Virginian-Pilot Correspondent

It’s an easy call to go and see art in Norfolk at two longrunning arts shows, but the city’s Visual Arts Week is designed to get people to check out lesser-known treasures. The weeklong celebration is usually bookended by the 54th annual Ocean View Art Show and the 2016 Stockley Gardens Fall Arts Festival, which is Oct. 15 and 16. The Ocean View Art Show, however, has been postponed due to Hurricane Matthew to Oct. 29-30. Norfolk Arts encourages people to spend the

week on a self-guided tour by visiting public art, venues and exhibits they might have missed. For a list of places to go and special events, visit www.norfolkpublicart.org. Following a 10th anniversary theme for the creation of Norfolk’s Public Art Commission, there will be a reception at Slover Library on Monday at 10:10 a.m. Other special events include the Crafted: Indie Arts and Craft Market at O’Connor Brewing on Saturday and the Backlot Deal Days Outdoor Arts and Crafts Fair at The Looking Glass Artisan Boutique on Saturday, and two events on Sunday: the Colonial Place & Riverview annual Front Porch Art Walk and Riverview Village Days. Norfolk created its Public Art Commission in 2006, spurring sculpture, murals

and other art installations in parks, parking decks, community centers and schools. In 10 years, the Public Art Commission has dedicated 67 new works of public art. “For years people didn’t quite understand what ‘public arts’ was, and now they

WWE NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura and Samoa Joe face off in Norfolk By Jonathan McLarty Contributing Writer

In front of a lively Norfolk crowd at Old Dominion University’s Ted Constant Convocation Center, WWE NXT made their Virginia debut on October 6. Many of NXT’s biggest stars were on hand, including NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura and NXT Women’s Champion Asuka. Many of these performers have not frequently competed in the Virginia area, so the crowd was excited to see these stars in person for the first time. The opening contest saw Wesley Blake take on Lince Dorado, a member of Monday Night Raw’s Cruiserweight Division. Blake, chosen to be referred to as “Beautiful” Wesley Blake, fell to the smaller opponent by means of a Shooting Star Press. In NXT Women’s Division action, New Jersey’s Liv Morgan defeated Aliyah. Both women traded numerous pinfall attempts which got a great reaction from the crowd. The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar), without their manager WWE Hall of Famer Paul Ellering, competed against TM-61 (Shane Thorne and Nick Miller). This contest, similar to Aliyah/Morgan, proved to be very competitive. With NXT’s weekly episodes only having a run time of one hour, some talent do not have as much time to showcase their talents as they do on the live events. The Authors of Pain defeated TM-61 with The Last Chapter (Russian Legsweep/Clothesline combo). “The Drifter” Elias Samson came out to kill the mood of the Norfolk crowd with an original song. Samson hasn’t been seen on NXT television for months, but his demeaning song content hasn’t changed. No Way Jose interrupted to raise the crowd’s spirits. Jose put Samson away in their match with the cobra clutch slam. In what would be considered the match of the night, “Glorious” Bobby Roode defeated Cedric Alexander. Alexander has competed in Virginia and North Carolina many times over his seven year career and received a warm

reaction. His spectacular outings in the WWE Cruiserweight Classic and participation in the Cruiserweight Division on Monday Night Raw has earned him a load of praise from fans worldwide. Roode has been on national television with Impact Wrestling for the better part of a decade, rising to stardom as a tandem in the “Beer Money” tag team with James Storm. The Norfolk fans remembered his time there, all the while embracing his new narcissistic “Glorious” character. After a kick to the groin of Alexander behind the referee’s back, Roode got the victory with the “Glorious Drop” lifting DDT. Undefeated NXT Women’s Champion Asuka continued her winning streak against Peyton Royce. Though Asuka did seem more vulnerable in this match given the long stretches of dominance by Royce, Asuka’s submission skills secured the victory via an Asuka Lock. In the night’s main event, Austin Aries and Samoa Joe took on

“Perfect Ten” Tye Dillinger and NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura. Nakamura was sporting a neck brace during his entrance thanks to an attack by Joe on NXT television in recent weeks. Joe avoided having to step in the ring with Nakamura for the majority of the match. While Dillinger took care of Joe, Nakamura was able to hit Aries with the Kinshasa for the pinfall victory. NXT airs on the WWE Network on Wednesday nights at 8PM for the initial airing and is available On Demand afterward. NXT TakeOver: Toronto will air on the WWE Network on Saturday, November 19.
