FALLS CHURCH,Va. — The expiration of the retail pharmacy contract between Express Scripts, Inc. (ESI) and the Walgreens pharmacy chain means Walgreens is no longer a TRICARE pharmacy network provider as of Jan. 1, 2012. “The majority of beneficiaries have access to another network pharmacy very close to home as our pharmacy contract requires ESI to maintain high access standards,” said Rear Adm. Thomas McGinnis, chief of the TRICARE Pharmaceutical Operations Directorate. “There are still 56,000 network pharmacies nationwide – easily meeting or exceeding our access requirements.” In addition to 56,000 network pharmacies, TRICARE beneficiaries have other pharmacy options including military pharmacies at no cost and convenient TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery. Generic medications are available at no cost through Home Delivery. Beneficiaries who use non-network pharmacies, including Walgreens, pay full prescription costs upfront and submit their own claims for reimbursement. Reimbursement will occur only after the non-network deductible is met. Out-of-network costs include a 50 percent point-of-service cost share for TRICARE Prime, after deductibles are met. All other non-active duty TRICARE beneficiaries pay the

greater of a $12 copay or 20 percent of the total cost for formulary medications and the greater of $25 or 20 percent of the total cost for non-formulary medications, after deductibles are met. For more on pharmacy costs go to www.tricare.mil/ pharmacycosts. TRICARE beneficiaries changing from Walgreens pharmacy can simply take their current prescription bottle to their new network pharmacy to have the prescription transferred. To find a nearby network pharmacy, use the “find a pharmacy” feature on www.express-scripts.com/ tricare. Beneficiaries who want help finding a pharmacy, changing their medications to Home Delivery or who have other questions can contact Express Scripts at 1-877885-6313. The issues between ESI and Walgreens are not specific to TRICARE. Other employer-sponsored and some Medicare Part D pharmacy plans are also affected.

Chaplain’s

Corner

4,000 hours and still counting

Forever and ever BY LT. RICHARD SMOTHERS Carrier Air Wing 3 Chaplain “Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.” (A Prayer of Moses, the Man of God in Psalm 90:1-2 ESV) For many of us, the winter holiday season is always a great time of reconnecting with family and friends, enjoying special festivities and foods, and giving and receiving gifts. For some of us, this holiday season is the first one we’ve spent away from home or possibly the first one since a dear loved one has died.For some, the holidays are a kaleidoscope of memories — loved ones around us, playful surprises shared with friends, and long journeys (“Are we there YET?!”) ending in the warm and welcoming embrace of those we love. Maybe this season of the year is special for you as you celebrate long-cherished traditions. Some traditions we share with others (worship, gift giving, parties, etc.), and some traditions are for us individually (think a special “gift” to yourself). As a Christian, I think one of God’s best gifts this time of year is the opportunity to glance back (with thankfulness and humility), before going forward (with steady hope) into the New Year. What about you? As you think back over 2011, what stands out in your mind? Did you take on new responsibilities or overcome some unexpected challenges? Maybe you had a year of both professional and personal victories, and you’re hoping 2012 is just as good (or better)! During 2011, did you find good opportunities to apply new or improved skills at work or at home? Maybe 2011 brought a really special person (friend, colleague, mentor, assistant, partner, spouse) into your life and you are excited at your prospects for 2012. That’s not the whole picture though, is it? Most of us can think of some things we wish we’d done better (or at least differently) in 2011.Did I make the most of my opportunities for serving or leading others well? Was I able to pray and work my way through tough choices in order to do what was best in a situation, not just what was“acceptable”or“allowed?”Are there — See New Year Page 11

BELOW: In front of the jet where he achieved a milestone few aviators do — 4,000 hours in an F/A-18. Photos by Harry Gerwien NAS Oceana Commanding Officer Capt. Jim Webb hit a major milestone in a naval aviator’s career. On Dec. 14, in an F/A-18 Super Hornet from the “Gladiators” of VFA-106, he surpassed 4,000 flight hours in the F/A-18. The milestone flight was part of a training flight with a student pilot at VFA-106 — where Webb began his own aviation career. Webb earned his wings of gold in 1988, following his graduation from Auburn University, where he was commissioned through the NROTC program. His flying career has taken him to VFA-106, VFA-86, Navy Test Pilot School, VFA-37, Strike Fighter Wing Atlantic and VFA-81, where as the commanding and executive officer, he flew combat missions in support of operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. Webb has flown 29 different aircraft, accumulating more than 5,000 flight hours,including the 4,000 hours in the Hornet and Super Hornet, along with 660 arrested landings in the F/A-18.

Subsistence allowance, most housing allowances rising BY KAREN PARRISH American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON — Service members stationed in the United States saw an average increase of 2 percent when new basic allowance for housing rates took effect Jan. 1. The Defense Department announced the 2012 BAH rates on Dec. 15, along with basic allowance for subsistence rates, which will also increase slightly. Department officials said the average BAH increase for 2012 is approximately $39 per month, though the actual amount depends on where a service member lives, what his or her rank is and whether he or she is supporting family members. Cheryl Anne Woehr, defense BAH program manager, said about 35 percent of the military’s housing areas will see a housing allowance decrease, but the change will apply

only to members newly reporting to those locations. Service members are given individual rate protection, she said, which ensures that those already assigned to a location will not see their BAH rate decrease. However, they will receive the increase if the rate goes up. That protection ensures the rate change doesn’t penalize service members who already are obligated to leases or rental contracts based on a previous, higher housing cost,Woehr said. “We measure the cost of rental housing in each area, and economic factors can have different influences in each area,”she said.“That’s why rates are going up in some areas and down in others.” DOD collects housing data annually for each military housing area, recording current local costs for rent, renter’s insurance and utilities including electricity, heating, — See BAH Next page

Focus on Sailors

Oceana Sailors frocked Photo by MC3 Indra Bosko

During his commissioning ceremony, Ensign Andrew Barron’s new shoulder boards are attached by his wife and daughter. Barron was a chief aviation electrician’s mate at VFA-11 before his Nov. 23 commissioning as a Limited Duty Officer.

Determination helps VFA-11 chief achieve goals in 2011 BY CATHY HEIMER Jet Observer 2011 brought big changes to the career of Chief Aviation Electrician’s Mate Andrew Barron from Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 11. After being notified in early spring, Barron was commissioned as a Limited Duty Officer (LDO) on Nov. 23 during a ceremony at the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit Oceana. Barron also achieved a second goal he was working toward — obtaining an associate’s degree. But neither goal came quickly or without a great deal of planning,work and determination on the new ensign’s part. The decision to become an LDO was made early in his career, when Barron made second class. “You start focusing more on leadership. I had some really good mentors and I just decided that this is a good objective, long-term.” He explained how one of the most critical things that affected him were certain chiefs and the officers “who definitely knew what I needed in order to challenge me.They definitely took care of me and I was smart enough to listen.”

Selection didn’t come on his first application for Limited Duty Officer (LDO) program — or even the second time. But his perseverance finally paid off when he was selected as an LDO.“I couldn’t imagine myself after plus 20 years,saying‘Did I try as hard as I could for as long as I could to do as best as I could?’” For Barron, bettering himself also meant“picking away at college”for nearly 10 years — taking classes as his schedule allowed. At one point, after not taking classes for several years, he even had to reenroll with Embry Riddle, where he discovered the degree program had changed. He’s continuing on with his education and is now 21 credits shy of a bachelor’s degree in professional aeronautics from Embry Riddle University.“The overall big picture is keep going, just don’t stop. It’s the same way when applying for LDO, if you don’t get picked up the first or second time. That continuous reapplication really shows the board that you want it,” he said. “It’s a real important note that college is a big undertaking and maybe there’s this — See Goals, Page 12

BAH: see a slight increase in 2012 — Continued from page 4 water and sewer, she explained. Any year-to-year change in any of those factors can cause an increase or decrease in BAH,Woehr noted. “The highest [BAH] rates are in the areas you’d expect, the high-cost urban areas such as San Francisco, Boston [and] New York,” she said.“The lowest areas are in the more rural parts of the country.” Woehr said service members stationed outside the United States receive the Overseas Housing Allowance, which is calculated on a different schedule, rather than BAH. Defense officials said BAH rates are determined based on six housing profiles — varying by dwelling type and number of bedrooms — in each military housing area.

Rates are calculated for each pay grade, both with and without dependents. Officials said more than 1 million service members will receive an estimated $20 billion in total BAH payments during 2012. Officials said the 2012 subsistence allowance,which will also took effect Jan.1,is designed to cover the cost of food for service members who do not have access to military dining facilities.That allowance will increase from $325.04 to $348.44 for enlisted troops, and from $223.84 to $239.96 for officers. The allowance is based on the Department of Agriculture’s “cost of food at home index,” which increased 7.2 percent between October 2011 and October 2011, officials said.

To make the training as realistic as possible, a practice ejection seat was actually placed at the scene and the responders were trained on how to approach an ejection seat which may still have live ordnance. “This is just such a great example of that cooperation and how far we’ve come between the cities and the base,â€? said NAS Oceana Commanding OfďŹ cer Capt. Jim Webb. Webb said he expects the base will continue to practice with the cities on many occasions in the future, including the Navy’s yearly spring exercise, Solid Curtain/ Citadel Shield, which will be held in March 2012.

New Year: time to reflect, move forward — Continued from page 3 persons that I’ve let down in some way over the past year, and what have I done to reconcile with them and begin to restore our relationship? Can I discover a way to deal with my regrets and mistakes without becoming a hostage to the past? Moses, empowered by the Holy Spirit learned that he could both glance back and go forward by trusting in his

fully-trustworthy God. In Psalm 90, he testifies the Lord is our eternal creator and the one who sustains our very lives — through every season and circumstance. As you think about the year just past and the year ahead,consider making Moses’ prayer your own.“So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.”(Psalm 90:12 ESV) Take time to take stock of your life, as well as the way your life impacts those around you. This New Year, may you find renewed strength, purpose and ever-growing hope as you trust God for each of your dreams,challenges, regrets and victories — Happy New Year!

Goals: new ensign reaches several in 2011 after work and planning

— Continued from page 4 misconception that you can just go and get your degree. You still have this commitment to the Navy ďŹ rst and that means deploy,â€? he explained. While Barron said the Navy is “very good about offering ways around those hurdles,[earning a degree] is not going to be immediate and if you do sacriďŹ ce all your time to a college, you’re probably not doing so well at work, so it’s deďŹ nitely like ‘eating an element.’â€? Earning both the associates and commission are motivating Barron toward his next goal of ďŹ nishing his four-year degree. “Doing your job and doing it right,â€?is the grassroots philosophy the new ensign has had about every job he had in the past 16 years. It’s also what he sees as ďŹ rst and foremost as helping him earn his commission.“There’s certain expectation out there and you have to take care of business and that’s what you do,â€? explained Barron. He also believes that if Sailors are going to commit to a career in the Navy, they should be maximizing all the resources the Navy offers. While many of his peers are now preparing for a 20-year retirement, Barron explained his decision not to retire at 20,but“to continue on,â€?was an easy one for him to make. While “I loved being a chief,â€? Barron explained,“there is an expectation for constant improvement, which means

the more that you know and the more that you learn, the better you are to be able to affect and make the whole enterprise better. Throughout his career, Barron explained he has maintained his philosophy about advancement. “As you get higher up, you should really continue to push on forward,â€? pointing out that “if you start to stagnate, what good are you?â€? The Stamford, Conn. native reported to boot camp on Nov.22,1995.After boot camp and schools,his career took him to Hampton Roads,where he has remained. Stationed ďŹ rst at AIMD Oceana, he then reported to USS George Washington (CVN 73), HM-14 and then to VFA-11 in December 2010. Until his commissioning, he had been serving as the aviation armament division leading chief petty ofďŹ cer, overseeing 30 -40 Sailors.“Being a division chief, much of it is the evaluations and awards, dealing with the personal life issues, making sure the shop programs are run the way they are supposed to. It’s deďŹ nitely a personnel-driven job, meaning that if the guys in the shop can’t do their job for one reason or another, it’s up to the chief to ďŹ gure out a way around it or through it,â€? he explained. He and his wife, Karla are the parents of three children. Their 19-year-old son has enlisted in the Navy and they

have two daughters, 17 and 11. His next assignment – a two-year unaccompanied tour in Japan was a family decision.With his oldest daughter a high school senior and the 11-year-old competing in junior Olympics with AAA times, “It was the least amount of moving,â€? he explained. “We’ll probably go broke ying back and forth,â€? he jokingly added. He also achieved a much more personal goal during the commissioning ceremony. Married for more than 14 years, the couple had discussed renewing their wedding vows but somehow never got around to actually planning a ceremony. With many of his family and friends already planning to attend the commissioning, Barron, who admitted to “never being much of a planner,â€? organized the vow renewal as a very big surprise for his wife at the end of the ceremony.“Even my kids didn’t know,â€? he said. Following his Nov. 23 commissioning, he returned to the squadron during the holidays, where he put the time to good use learning his new job as a new aviation maintenance ofďŹ cer,before he heads off to two months of school in January and February. As he prepares to starts a new chapter in his career in a new location, Barron said,“I’m a ďŹ rm believer that every place is what you make it.â€?

YORKTOWN — The United States Adventure Racing Association (USARA) announced Dec. 2, that the All-Military Wilderness Challenge is now a qualifying race for the USARA National Championships. As a USARA sanctioned event, the winner of the Wilderness Challenge will be able to compete on a national level for what is considered the “heart and soul” of adventure racing in the United States, — The USARA Adventure Race National Championship. “USARA is excited to have the Wilderness Challenge as a 2012 USARA regional qualifier,” said Troy Farrar, president USARA.“We hope to see several teams from the Wilderness Challenge represent their military branch and compete in the USARA Adventure Race National Championship.” Established in 2000 by the Naval Weapons Station (WPNSTA) Yorktown Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Department, the All-Military Wilderness Challenge brings together more than 300 active duty military from all five branches of the armed forces to compete in a series of five extreme outdoor races through the heart of the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia. Teams of four compete in an 8K mountain run, a 10mile mountain bike race,a 15-mile forced hike through the mountains, a 14-mile whitewater raft race on the Gauley River and a seven-mile kayak race on the New River… more than 50 miles covered in two days. “The Wilderness Challenge brings together the best ath-

New Year’s Eve: 500 Hampton Roads runners race to beat the ball BY KATISHA DRAUGHN Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads Public Affairs Approximately 500 people chose to bypass the celebratory parties and participate in a healthy alternative on New Year’s Eve by running in the inaugural Beat the Ball 5K at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth Dec. 31. “We wanted to offer a positive alternative to the traditional New Year’s Eve festivities,” said John Lucas, Naval Support Activity (NSA) Hampton Roads MWR Portsmouth director. The run began at 11:35 p.m. and consisted of a fast, flat course that traversed the historic grounds of Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. “I thought the run was great, and it was a new challenge for me,” said Joshua Washington, who competed in two NSA Hamp-

ton Roads MWR runs last year.“It’s a better way to get healthy for the NewYear instead of going out and drinking.” When Lucas first brought the idea to Capt.Charles Melcher,commanding officer of NSA Hampton Roads in March, he was very supportive and thought the concept was great and very distinct. “Spending New Year’s Eve getting healthy by running in a 5K? The idea was so unique, and I knew that John and his team would execute it flawlessly,” said Melcher. After receiving the green light from Melcher, Lucas and his team immediately began planning the race. The idea was to see who could finish the 5K run before midnight and the dropping of the celebratory New Year’s Eve ball. “We wanted to ensure that we encouraged all to participate, regardless if they were going to finish before midnight,” said

Lucas. “But for the runners who finished before the New Year’s Eve ball dropped, we had Beat the Ball 5K commemorative champagne flutes for them filled with sparkling cider.” Initially, Lucas was aiming for 300 participants, but MWR completely surpassed that goal. “The fact that we had about 500 people come out and participate in our very first Beat the Ball 5K is just remarkable,”he said. When Lori Sherwood first heard about the novel 5K run months ago, she thought it would be fun and decided to sign up. “I had a great time,”she said.“And I heard that it is good luck to cross the finish line on New Year’s Day.” Sherwood participates in some type of physical activity every Saturday and also planned to run in a New Year’s Day 5K at Mount Trashmore in Virginia Beach Jan. 1. In addition to some giveaways, MWR

Portsmouth also had a 16-foot screen set up which broadcasted the New Year’s Eve festivities and the ball dropping in New York City. Grandfather Time was also on hand on to cheer everyone on and pass out the awards. “Planning an event like this took a lot of teamwork between MWR and the command,” said Lucas.“It turned out great, and I am so happy that everyone came out and chose to hang out with us on New Year’s Eve and start the New Year off right by getting healthy.”

“

The fact that we had about 500 people come out and participate in our very first Beat the Ball 5K is just remarkable,

”
