Photo by MC3 Kayla King The Dam Neck Annex ECP was officially opened when the ceremonial ribbon was cut by the Public Works Department Engineering Technician Patrick Roufe, Security Officer Lt. Cmdr. James Simpson, Public Works Officer Lt. Cmdr. Marcel Forte, NAS Oceana Executive Officer Capt. Richard Meadows, NAS Oceana Commanding Officer Capt. Louis Schager, Officer-inCharge Dam Neck Annex Lt. Cmdr. Roger Mitchell, Chief of Staff Commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Capt. Robert Geis and NAS Oceana Command Master Chief Richard Haninger.
NEW DAM NECK ANNEX ECP OFFICIALLY OPEN BY MC3 KAYLA KING NAS Oceana Public Affairs “In today’s day and age, it is critical to understand that the world and the security challenges we face are ever changing and we must stay ahead of those threats,” said NAS Oceana Commanding Officer Capt. Louis Schager at the ribbon-cutting ceremony marking the completion of the new Dam Neck Annex Entry Control Point (ECP) held on Jan. 15. “This state of the art gate serves as an Anti-terrorism Force Protection enhancement that provides an attractive yet imposing visual deterrent upon approach and a high tech, physical barrier once reached, if needed,” said Schager. “Yet we all know that the true effectiveness of this gate remains with the dedicated men and women standing the watch — both military and civilian — 24/7/365.” Construction on the new ECP began Aug. 1, 2014. Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Mid-Atlantic also included the construction of a new military working dog kennel, a Navy Special Warfare Development Group visitor center, improved perimeter security and the main ECP upgrade in the contract. “The old Dam Neck Gate did not have traffic calming measures to slow incom-
ing traffic, any mechanical vehicle stops, nor was the guard house hardened ... In short, the proper level of access control for all personnel and traffic was not being met,” said Schager. Part of the overhaul of the Dam Neck Annex ECP included Patrick Kilduff’s refurbishment of the long-standing Trained Sailor monument. The Trained Sailor, a 7.5-foot, 1,000-pound monument, weathering the Atlantic winds and storms, has greeted Dam Neck personnel at the main gate for nearly 30 years. Like the main gate, he too, needed some upgrades. “The Trained Sailor really represents all of our efforts to make a ready Navy. He represents the students studying, the ready and trained sentries at the front gate, the medics, the firemen, the admin personnel. His eyes trained intently through the front gate, keeping watch on those who enter and bidding farewell to shipmates leaving the base for home, or deployment. He represents our Ready Navy — The Navy trained and designed to protect our families, the cornerstone of American security and prosperity,” said Schager. When refurbishing the Trained Sailor, Kilduff was surprised to discover a time capsule tucked in the sea bag. In keeping with the tradition, Kilduff placed a Jet

Observer, photos of command personnel, a command brief and other items representing NAS Oceana and Dam Neck Annex of today in the sea bag. The monument was originally dedicated in 1987 by then Dam Neck Annex Training Support Center Hampton Roads (TSCHR) Commanding Officer Capt. John Narciso. Sculpted by artist Rod Taylor from sketches drawn by former Sailor Bobbi Pruitt, the statue was funded solely by contributions from Dam Neck staff and students at TSCHR. “The impressive upgrades to the Dam Neck Annex entrance greatly improved the installations security. Dam Neck’s mission is to obtain the highest level of Fleet readiness. Now, with a more secure front gate, better protection is available for the Sailors and all who are training and working to protect us, the American people,” said Terri Dunn-Campbell, Congressman Scott Rigell’s military liaison on behalf of the Congressman. “It’s been a long, hard road — who can forget the previous gate — to say the old gate was a bit more modest in scope and size is an understatement — but as all of you approached the gate today, it is obvious we’ve come a long way,” said Schager.“Rest assured, we can all sleep better at night knowing we have a world class Entry Control Point that meets all Antiterrorism Force Protection standards — one we all deserve and the American public expects.”

Training and Support Center Hampton Roads prepares Sailors for training positions STORY/PHOTO BY R. HOLLAND Training Support Center Hampton Roads HAMPTON ROADS,Va. – It’s only the second week in January and close to 1,400 students have checked-in at Training Support Center Hampton Roads Student Management (TSCHR SM) for indoctrination. The TSCHR SM directorate’s primary mission is managing students while operating as a single point of contact for all student management and training support needs for the Naval Education and Training Command activities in the Hampton Roads area. TSCHR SM is headquartered at NAS Oceana Dam Neck Annex under the leadership of Oscar Jose, SM director. “Our day to day functions are accomplished at five sites in the Hampton Roads area to facilitate efficient and effective management of student personnel and prompt support to learning center personnel enabling them to do what they do best, training Sailors,” said Jose. “Student management covers administrative support, special screenings, Customer Support Detachment (CSD) liaison for per-diem, pay and entitlements, port calls, permanent change of station order negotiations, graduations, advancements,

Resource System (CeTARS) Manager,“Since December, students can now access ‘new to the Navy mobile applications’ which covers a variety of topics: frequently asked questions about pay, personnel matters, transfers, marriage and family, how to get dependent ID cards, etc. This application is perfect for TSCHR since we assist a large number of transient students and help a large number of new accession students,” said Willoughby. “After completing indoctrination, and being able to ask questions, hopefully by the end of indoctrination, students leave
here feeling a little less overwhelmed, and they know we are readily available to make their transition as easy as possible,” said Roof. “Student check-in is conducted every Monday at all sites starting at 0630. Once the student has finished indoctrination they have an opportunity to fill out a critique. We take these critiques very seriously and are always striving for positive feedback and process improvement,” said Roof. “Our goal is to do whatever it takes to get the students to their training and thus meeting Fleet requirements,” said Jose.
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth Welcomes First Baby of New Year BY REBECCA A. PERRON Naval Medical Center Portsmouth Public Affairs PORTSMOUTH, Va. (NNS) — Baby Rose made her debut nine days late to become Naval Medical Center Portsmouth’s (NMCP) first baby born in 2016. NMCP’s labor and delivery team delivered Rose Vorpahl at 9:14 a.m. on Jan. 1, the baby of David and Laura Vorpahl. Rose weighed 8 pounds, 4 ounces and was 21 inches long, and is the couple’s second child. David is an Electronics Technician 2nd class assigned to the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS James E. Williams. “We are happy and healthy, and I am glad the staff was
so amazing during this trying time,” David said.“[Rose] is here, and mommy’s doing well, and we are looking forward to going home.” During the stay, the president of the Oakleaf Club of Tidewater presented the family with a gift basket to recognize them for the birth of the New Year’s first baby. The basket included about a dozen items, such as diapers, wipes, toys and a bib with “I Love NMCP” cross-stitched onto it. The total number of deliveries for NMCP’s birthing center in 2015 was 2,973, with the average number of deliveries at more than eight per day.The month with the most births was July with 297, and the center finished out the year with 242 births in December.

CHAPLAIN’S CORNER Longing for justice
LT. JOHN GIBSON Chaplain I will never forget watching live coverage of
the aftermath of Saddam Hussein’s capture on the news over a decade ago. What I likely will remember most is not the remarks made by the news anchors, or even the images of Saddam himself as he was taken prisoner. Instead, what I will remember most vividly are the celebrations in the streets that took place immediately following. In Iraq, throughout the Middle East, and even on our streets here in the United States of America, throngs of people, many of whom
had likely seen first-hand just how brutal Saddam’s regime had been, were dancing among their families and neighbors in jubilation. Opinions vary in regard to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the ensuing decadelong war, Saddam Hussein, and whether he actually did, in fact, face justice. That is not the point. Rather, the point is what those who celebrated his capture so many years ago can teach us about longing for justice, about ourselves, and ultimately,
about God. As human beings, we are created in the image of Almighty God. Among many other things, this means that we are created in the image of the One who not only established the entire concept of justice Himself, but who has in fact also promised to deliver justice on our behalf some day. Consider his words of encouragement to us through John, author of Revelation 12:10: “And the Devil, who deceived them (meaning the nations), was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” (Parenthesis mine) As we read this particu-
lar passage in more detail, we see a foretelling of a God who fights for us, and does so until our enemy (the Devil) is completely destroyed. To be sure, the book of Revelation is complex and contains many passages that are open to many different interpretations. However, the central theme ought to be clear to anyone who reads the entire book. Truth be told, the same holds true for the entire Bible itself. And the message is this: God wins. This should give us comfort as we look upon the evil in our world.Whether you are someone who is distressed over the news that yet another wealthy celebrity has gotten off scot-free after committing a terrible act or injustice against another person;
or someone who is struggling at work because others who make poor life decisions and live dishonestly seem to be receiving better breaks and fortune than you; or maybe even someone who simply takes time to reflect on the deeper philosophical concepts of justice, crime, and punishment; regardless of where you may be in life, you likely will encounter, at some point, a situation in which you perceive injustice and what appears to be prosperity for the wicked. My encouragement to you is simple: trust in the same God who has promised to bring about the ultimate justice on your behalf, even when the wicked appear to be reveling in their own wealth and success.

STEVENSON TAKES COMMAND OF THE VFA-15 VALIONS BY LT. J.G. ANDREW DAVIS VFA-15 Public Affairs Officer Cmdr. Matthew Stevenson relieved Cmdr. Timothy Muller as commanding officer, Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 15 in a formal ceremony at Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana on Dec. 18. Muller is a native of Mahopac, NY, and a graduate of The Pennsylvania State University where he studied earth sciences and geology. In November 1996, he was commissioned as an Ensign through the Officer Candidate School at Pensacola, Florida. Muller was designated as a Naval Flight Officer on March 20, 1998 and was selected for training in the EA-6B Prowler with Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 129 and VAQ-133. Recognized as a community professional, his efforts were acknowledged by the EA-6B Commodore and the Naval Bureau of Personnel when he was selected to transition to a Naval Aviator designation. Muller completed training with Training Squadron (VT) 27 at NAS Corpus Christi and with VT-21 at NAS Kingsville where he was designated as a Naval Aviator on Nov. 21, 2003. Follow on orders would take him to NAS Oceana, where he reported to the "Gladiators" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 106 and qualified in the F/A-18 Hornet.

Following his tour with VFA-87, he reported to the international military staff at NATO Headquarters in Belgium. Beginning in June 2010, Muller was the acting education, training, exercise and evaluation assistant branch chief for 18 months. Muller reported to VFA-15 in July 2013 as the executive officer and assumed command in September 2014, where he led the Valions on a nine-month combat deployment in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. He has accumulated over 2,600 flight hours and 424 carrier arrested landings. His decorations include the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Air Medal (five strike/flight awards), Navy Commendation Medal, Navy Achievement Medal (three awards) and various campaign and service citations.

CIVILIAN QUARTERLY AWARDS BY CARRIE ANDERSON The Jet Observer The success of NAS Oceana depends on civilians and Sailors working side by side everyday to ensure a working environment that promotes engaged workers, encourages those who go above and beyond the call of duty and cultivates positivity. Every quarter, civilians are honored for their contributions to the success of NAS Oceana. The civilians of the quarter for the first quarter of 2016 are: Yvette Andablo, Command Security; Toni A. Fox, Fleet and Family Services (FFSC); Melinda Carr, Morale, Welfare and Recreation; Emily Burdey, Navy gateway Inn & Suites; and Josefino F. Sarate, Navy Gateway Inn & Suites. Andablo earned her recognition as a Civilian of the Quarter through her work as an administrative support assistant to the Command Security Manager. During the first quarter,Andablo maintained a 4.0 GPA in her Master’s studies at Regent University while exceeding expectations at work. She completed and processed 59 System Authorization Request forms, resolved 64 computer access issues and reviewed over 200 foreign visit requests. In addition, Andablo created and maintained an in-house tracking system for personnel eligibility updates for 151 Child Youth Program employees, ensuring each employee met the requirement for the Navy’s Child Youth Program. “[Andablo] always goes the extra mile and stays behind after hours to complete all tasks ahead of schedule,” wrote Lt. Leroy Ames in her nomination packet. “She reached not only NAS Oceana but its 70 tenant com-
mands assisting with command investigations.” Fox was recognized for her professional achievement as a counseling and advocacy program supervisor for FFSC. Her efforts contributed to FFSC exceeding the program benchmarks set by Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC). She also volunteered to participate in the development of “Thrive,” an OSD parenting program initiative. Her work in the first quarter also led to a CNIC system change that was implemented across the entire Navy. For months, Fox monitored and tracked FFSC case distribution and identified inequities in the process. As a result of her efforts, her letter of commendation notes that FFSC clinical programs across the world will operate more efficiently. Her letter of commendation notes that Fox “demonstrated exceptional initiative, knowledge and expertise in flawlessly managing the counseling and advocacy programs of three Fleet and Family Support Centers in Navy Region Mid-Atlantic.” Carr was honored for her contributions to the Morale, Welfare and Recreation department as an administration assistant. Her letter of commendation notes that Carr “consistently performed her demanding duties in an exemplary and high professional manner” during the first quarter. Carr was responsible for monitoring all financial paperwork submitted to the region and following up to ensure documents were properly entered in to the accounting system in a timely fashion. She is seen as the “go-to” person to train new managers and administrative personnel on all paperwork

processes from credit card maintenance to payroll and accounting processes. Burdey was recognized for her contributions as a quality assurance trainer to the Navy gateway Inn & Suites location on Dam Neck Annex. During the first quarter, Burdey trained more than 60 associates on quality assurance procedures and completed more than 250 quality assurance inspections. During a personnel shortage, Burdey stepped up and assisted the front desk staff in completing their duties to ensure customer satisfaction. “Burdey’s outstanding perfor-
mance and loyal devotion to duty reflected great credit upon herself and Naval Air Station Oceana and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service,” reads her Civilian of the Quarter letter of commendation. Sarate distinguished himself as a custodial worker at the NAS Oceana Navy Gateway Inns & Suites (NGIS) location. Sarate maintains one of the lowest discrepancy rates in the NGIS while completing difficult, last-minute tasks and filling in for his coworkers in their absence. His devotion to being a team player and
“unselfish attitude” ensures that guests are the first priority, each and every time, according to his civilian of the quarter letter of commendation. “Sarate has proved to be a true innovated self-starter whose work is marked by integrity and initiative,” notes his letter of commendation. “He has been a dedicated professional who thrives on new challenges.” The Civilian of the Quarter program works in tandem with the Sailor of the Quarter program to identify and honor exemplary employees aboard NAS Oceana, Dam Neck Annex and NALF Fentress.
