OCEANA NAMES SAILORS OF THE QUARTER
From the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles RICHMOND — Law enforcement officers across Virginia and the nation are out in full force during May looking for seat belt violators as part of the national Click It or Ticket enforcement mobilization. Seat belts prevent ejection, which is one of the leading causes of death and serious injury during a crash.Without a seat belt, a person’s body becomes a missile inside the vehicle, endangering everyone else in the car. “Don’t risk death or hurting others in your vehicle,”said Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Commissioner Richard D. Holcomb, the governor’s highway safety representative.“If you’re driving, the second action you need to take after fastening your own seat belt is to insist all your passengers are wearing their belts too.” Day and night, local law enforcement officers are on the lookout for those not wearing their seat belts — and for good reason. Last year in Virginia, 54 percent of all traffic fatalities, or 310 deaths, were unrestrained drivers and passengers, and most of the unrestrained fatalities (144 or 46 percent) occurred between the hours of 6 p.m. and 3 a.m. In 2012 nationwide, 61 percent of passenger vehicle occupants killed at night (6 p.m. to 5:59 a.m.) were not wearing their seat belts. DMV’s Virginia Highway Safety Office encourages all Virginians to buckle up on every trip, every time, no matter what time of day. Also last year in Virginia, 118 (38 percent) of the unrestrained traffic deaths were young people ages 21 to 35, and 73 percent were

Workers with the Worldwide Aircraft Recovery, Ltd. use a crane to remove the engine of the A-1 Skyraider during its disassembling on NAS Oceana on May 8. The Skyraider, which has been at Oceana for more than 40 years, was transported to the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York City, where it will be restored and put on display.
Skyraider makes move from NAS Oceana to New York City STORY/PHOTO BY MC3 TIMOTHY DAUGHTON NAS Oceana Public Affairs For more than 40 years, NAS Oceana has been home to a prototype of the famous A-1 Skyraider series of attack bombers. Nicknamed “Spad,” this particular airplane was the XBT2D-1 Dauntless II. Last painted in the colors of the“Valions” of Attack Squadron 15, (now Strike Fighter Squadron 15), which flew the AD-4 Skyraider from 1949 to 1965,the Skyraider has served as the backdrop for many photos by visitors to Oceana. But on May 14, after a week of careful dismantling, Spad left its longtime home at the Aviation Historical Park and was transported to the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York City, where museum staff inspected the
aircraft and carefully re-assembled it. “To have this airplane on the Intrepid is a very big deal because it is beautiful and is very relevant to the Intrepid’s history,” said Peter Torraca, aircraft restoration and interpretation specialist for the museum. “It has performed a lot of duty on the Intrepid during its time in service.” “It’s sad to see the Spad go, but we recognize that all the aircraft in the park are an important part of Navy and Marine Corps aviation and deserve to be in a place where they will reach the best audience. The Intrepid Museum is the best place for that aircraft,” said NAS Oceana Commanding Officer Capt. Kit Chope about the aircraft’s departure from the base.

BATTAGLIA SALUTES TROOPS ON ARMED FORCES DAY BY AMAANI LYLE American Forces Press Service ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY, Va., — The senior enlisted advisor to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff praised military members serving worldwide and recognized the sacrifices of fallen warriors in remarks following an Armed Forces Day wreath laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery May 17. Marine Corps Sgt. Maj. Bryan B. Battaglia joined the services’ senior enlisted leaders, each of whom affixed their seals to the ceremonial wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns as the U.S.Army Band played “Taps.” “Like many burial grounds, here are housed and harbored America’s heroes —
the hundreds of thousands of men and women who for more than 238 years proudly wore the cloth of our nation,” Battaglia said. The sergeant major said that President Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish a single-day opportunity for citizens to thank service members for their patriotism in defense of the nation. On Aug. 31, 1949, Battaglia said, Defense Secretary Louis Johnson announced the creation of Armed Forces Day, a single-day celebration recognized annually on the third Saturday in May. “The wreath we laid, placed in honor of our fallen and because our comrades in arms who rest here throughout the rolling hills and sacred grounds, though in spirit ... still serve ... we celebrate
Beginning of Armed Forces Day On Aug. 31, 1949, Defense Secretary Louis Johnson announced the creation of Armed Forces Day, a single-day celebration recognized annually on the third Saturday in May.
Armed Forces Day with them,” Battaglia said. Arlington Cemetery, he said, is a proper place to observe Armed Forces Day. “Here we are encircled among those brave and courageous men and women past and present, currently serving, active and Reserve, National Guard,living veterans and our fallen who proudly serve our country,” he said. “What ... better place for us to thank those in uniform who play such a critical part protecting America’s freedom and liberty and those entrusted with safe-guarding our national code?” Battaglia also recognized deployed service members, who he said are “standing the watch, patrolling the perimeters, and eliminating the threat.”

Growler reaches centennial milestone BY MARCIA HART Naval Air Systems Command Public Affairs
Photo by MC2 John Hetherington Roger Woods, EA-18G mission systems director for Boeing, presents Capt. Darryl Walker, commander, Electronic Attack Wing, U.S. Pacific Fleet, with a commemorative coin in front of the 100th EA-18G Growler delivered to the U.S. Navy on the tarmac at NAS Whidbey Island May 15. The 100th production Growler flew into NAS Whidbey Island the previous week, representing the continuing successful transformation of the electronic attack community from the EA-6B Prowler to the new Growler.
ST. LOUIS (NNS) — U.S. Navy officers and distinguished visitors from Missouri and Illinois gathered for a ceremony May 5 in St. Louis, Mo. to celebrate the production of the 100th EA-18G Growler. The Growler, the newest advancement in the Navy’s electronic attack (EA) arsenal, is a variant of the Block II F/A-18F Super Hornet and is the Navy replacement for the EA-6B Prowler. The airborne electronic attack aircraft combines modern advances in airborne electronic attack systems and weapons with the tactical versatility, advancements and capabilities of the Block II Super Hornet. “The EA-18G Growler is a high demand asset that is equally critical in disrupting our enemies operations as it is enhancing our own,” said Capt. Frank Morley, program manager for the F/A-18 and EA-18G Program Office (PMA-265) during the ceremony at Boeing. Capt. Darryl Walker, commander of the Electronic Attack Wing, U.S. Pacific Fleet (CVWP), accepted delivery on May 15 of the aircraft on behalf of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 129 in Whidbey Island,Wash., before its transfer to a designated operational squadron in the fleet.
The Growler is designed to perform an array of airborne electronic attack missions, operating from either the deck of an aircraft carrier or land-based fields, similar to the EA-6B Prowler. Through these capabilities, warfighters may jam or suppress enemy radar and communication systems to protect friendly assets in the air and on the ground. “NAVAIR (Naval Air Systems Command) is continuing to advance the capabilities of the Growler as the U.S. Navy’s electronic attack mission becomes more robust and potential adversaries up their game with increasingly lethal air defenses,” Morley said. With new technologies, such as the Next Generation Jammer (NGJ), the Growler will have greater capabilities in the EA arena then its predecessor. Currently, the Growler still uses the Prowler’s ALQ-99 Jammer Pods, slated to be replaced with the NGJ in the early 2020s.The NGJ features active electronically scanned array antennas and a lighter, more aerodynamically shaped pod, which can allow for faster airspeed bringing greater lethality and capability to the EA-18G. The EA-18G program remains on the same schedule and cost projected when the program began in 2003, and the aircraft is projected to serve beyond 2040. The Navy accepted its first Growler Aug. 3, 2006.
The EA-18G Growler is a high demand asset that is equally critical in disrupting our enemies operations as it is enhancing our own.” - Capt. Frank Morley, manager for F/A18 and EA-18G Program Office

‘A Shot of Reality’ comes to TSCHR STORY/PHOTO BY RPSA STEVEN CALDWELL Training Support Systems Hampton Roads Irresponsible alcohol use isn’t funny, but Sailors, Marines and civilians were left in stitches as they got the opportunity to learn while laughing during a performance designed to educate personnel on the adverse effects of alcohol. Over 300 staff and students were treated to “A Shot of Reality� program, by the comedy duo of Patrick McIntyre and Gillian Bellinger held May 5 and 6 at Dam Neck Annex. The alcohol awareness program is designed to provide an unconventional way of highlighting and discussing alcohol abuse. The training was coordinated by Training Support Center Hampton Roads (TSCHR) Drug and Alcohol Program Advisor Chief Electricians Mate (SW) Will Harrington. “We wanted to expose our young Sailors and Marines to something different related to alcohol awareness training; something that the students could relate to, not just another brief. Something entertaining that would grab
their attention, keep their attention and hopefully stick with them, so that when they are faced with a real-life situation involving alcohol, they make good choices,â€? said Capt. Brent Kyler,TSCHR commanding ofďŹ cer. “Drinking is a choice; it’s not something you have to do just because everyone else is drinking. The show isn’t meant to completely deter people from drinking alcohol but to do so responsibly,â€? said Harrington. The show provided tips like staying hydrated,not drinking on an empty stomach, the negative effects of alcohol that hinder health and judgment, and having a plan if they intend to drink. “We are here to make the audience aware of what could happen when alcohol is involved and then it’s up to them to make the right decision,â€?said Patrick McIntyre. “We will continue to keep educating our staff and students because if just one life is spared due to alcohol awareness training, then we’ve done our job,â€? said Harrington. To ďŹ nd out more on the “Shot of Realityâ€? go to www. shotofreality.com.
During the “A Shot of Reality,�Patrick McIntyre and Gillian Bellinger demonstrate different scenarios on what could happen when someone is intoxicated. The program, while humorous, is designed to educate personnel on the adverse effects of alcohol abuse.

Old pilot Stu Apte learns new tricks at Oceana BY LEE TOLLIVER The Virginian-Pilot
It was a great time in my life, and I loved the Navy. Some of this has got me kind of choked up.” — Former Navy pilot Stu Apte who flew Cutlasses and FJ-3 Furys from Oceana in the 1950s
Stu Apte guided the nose of the F/A-18 Hornet toward the stern of the Nimitz, cruising south just off the coast of the Eastern Shore. He came in a little too high and to the left, pulling out at the last second and buzzing the ship’s tower. Such a stunt surely would earn him a visit to the skipper’s quarters. Good thing this fly-by took place in a simulator. Apte hadn’t tried to land a jet on a carrier deck since he was stationed at Naval Air Station Oceana in the early 1950s. On May 15, during a tour of the base
SESAME STREET/USO EXPERIENCE
Photo by MCSN Kayla King Elmo, Grover, Rosita, Cookie Monster, Katie and Honker made two appearances at the NAS Oceana Aerotheater April 30 and May 1 during the “Sesame Street/USO Experience for Military Families.” The fuzzy, furry and friendly muppets performed their free show at Oceana, as well as other Navy installations in Hampton Roads. The program featured Katie, a military child on Sesame Street who is moving to a new place, as well as mini-shows and giveaways for military members and their families.

Ben Kovesci, from VFA-106, during a special tour of NAS Oceana for the former Navy pilot. He returned to Oceana May 15, for the first time since the Korean War.
he hadn’t seen for 60 years, Apte struggled to recognize any of it, while marveling at the new technology and size of the complex. “Nothing looks familiar,” he said, walking into the huge hangar of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 106, the “Gladiators.” “This is amazing.” The Islamorada, Fla., resident flew the simulator for 30 minutes,taking to the controls as easily as jumping back on a bicycle. “You were great, baby,” Apte’s wife, Jeannine, said.“Remember, you’re 84 and only have one eye. “Just think what you could have done with two good eyes.” Apte wondered how he would have done with several hours of cockpit instruction before taking to the imaginary air. He flew Cutlasses and FJ-3 Furys when Oceana was a small landing strip surrounded by Quonset huts in the middle of what was then Virginia Beach farmland. He joined Fighter Squadron (VF) 81 for a couple of years before transferring to VF-171 in Jacksonville, Fla., leaving the Navy in 1955 to start a 34-year career as a pilot for Pan Am. Along the way, he became one of the top saltwater fly fishermen in the world, earning Hall of Fame and celebrity status. He returned to Virginia Beach to participate in Thursday night’s Project Heal-
ing Waters fundraiser at the Oceanfront. Organizers arranged the tour of the base. Apte was met by fighter pilots Shaun Bellemare of VFA-2 and Lt. Ben Kovesci of VFA-106. His first stop was a tour of the cockpit of a real Hornet. “It’s amazing to talk to a guy like him and show him around,” Kovesci said.“It’s guys like that who got me into this in the first place. Hearing his stories and adventures was why. “I wanted my own stories and adventures.” Apte had plenty to tell, whipping out a book with black-and-white pictures of his days at Oceana. “I’ve had a few tears in my eyes today,” Apte said, staring at a mothballed Fury. “It was a great time in my life, and I loved the Navy. Some of this has got me kind of choked up.” Apte thanked the two pilots and looked back at the exhibit of old jets and gazed off in the distance. He thumbed through a historical book on Oceana that he was presented, searching for signs of his past. “My squadron had just gotten back from Korea when I enlisted,” Apte said. “I wasn’t in long. I probably would have been dead if I would have stayed in.” “Our planes were on the leading edge, and I did some wild things.” Maybe even a supersonic fly-by.

Skyraider: will be restored and on display at Intrepid Museum Complex — Continued from page 1 Beginning on May 7 and over the course of several days,Worldwide Aircraft Recovery, Ltd. disassembled the Skyraider and shipped it to its new home aboard USS Intrepid (CV 11), the decommissioned aircraft carrier which is the foundation of the museum complex. Of the 13 historical aircraft in the Aviation Historical Park, three, including the Skyraider, were on loan from the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Va. The remaining 10 at Oceana are on loan from the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Fla. After an inspection, representatives of the Marine Corps museum determined age and the elements were taking their toll on the airframe. It was decided the airplane should be moved to a place that can repair and perform the proper preservation work, according to a release

from the Intrepid Museum. Following its arrival in New York, representatives of the museum evaluated the condition of the Skyraider for possible restorations needed to maintain the appearance of the plane. “Between the disassembling and reassembling of the airplane, I will determine which parts and components need to be left off so we can do restorations,” said Torraca. Marty Batura, vice president of Worldwide Aircraft Recovery, has been transporting aircraft for 17 years.The three crew members who disassembled the Skyraider all work for the company and together transport between 40 - 80 aircraft a year. “Being a part of all of this is what I really love.We transport a lot of trainer aircraft, which are training military members today.There is a lot of hard work and long hours, but when we accomplish our mission, that’s what it is all about for me. Ninety percent of our business is, in one way or another, interactive with the military, whether it is transporting aircraft to a museum or base to base,” Batura said. “Coming here to Oceana, we have been made to feel very welcome, no issues. Everybody is more than supportive to make this happen and it is really a pleasure to work here,”Batura added. According to the museum’s press release, Skyraiders are rare. Only approximately 57 are still known to exist and of those, only about 20 are still flyable. The XBT2D-1 was a prototype designed by the Douglas Aircraft Company. It made its first flight in March and after evaluation, the aircraft was delivered to the Navy in late 1946 and designated the AD-1. Although not in production to help the war effort during World War II, the carrier-based dive-bomber flew missions in the Korean War and North Vietnam until leaving active

The plane will be restored and displayed at the museum.
service in 1971. It had a wingspan of 50 feet and a maximum speed of 195. Eventually 3,180 Skyraiders in several configurations were built. They served not only the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, in both the Korean War and Vietnam War, but also with the U.S. Air Force and with 10 other nations. One of the Skyraider’s proudest moments occurred on Oct. 9, 1966. While flying a Skyraider off Intrepid, Lt. j.g. William T. (Tom) Patton shot down a MiG-17 over Vietnam. The Skyraider was not designed to be a dogfighter, so air-to-air combat was very rare. A victory in which a propeller-driven airplane prevailed over the jet-powered MiG-17 was an unusual occurrence. For the first time in many years, the plane returned to the flight deck of a ship on May 20, and fittingly it returned to the aircraft carrier where it once made history. Using a large crane and sturdy cables, the Skyraider was hoisted high above the ship and gently set down on Intrepid’s flight deck, where visitors to the museum will have the opportunity to see a piece of aviation history.

CHAPLAIN’S CORNER
Love and respect in marriage
BY LT. JOHN GIBSON Carrier Air Wing 1 Chaplain I was recently asked by my mother about what size clothing my 10-month old daughter was wearing nowadays and if I could tell her (or estimate) what size clothing she would
be in by the time her first birthday rolled around in a couple of months.This was my answer to her (sent via Facebook):“12 months now and could be in 18 months by July.” Later that evening, my wife logged onto our Facebook page and determined that she should provide an answer of her own to my mother’s question. Here is hers: “…it might depend on the brand. Carters 18 months starts at 24.5 lbs. [She] weighs around 20 lbs. now so she might be in Carters 18 months till end of summer/early fall. The Koala Baby brand at Babies
R Us runs big. She’ll be in 12 months of that brand throughout the summer. The Circo brand at Target runs small. I bought her some 18 month dresses to wear this summer. Hope this helps.” Needless to say, her response was much more detailed and in-depth than mine was.And as I read her response in the midst of my own chuckling, I was reminded that as men and women, we are different; more often than not our appearances, mannerisms and other traits serve as distinctions between the two genders. For example, whereas,

for the most part (though certainly not in every case), women tend to be more verbose and detailed in their communication, men tend to be more goal-oriented and less detailed as they converse with others. And this is a good thing. Why is it good? Because God created us that way; and because God created men and women to live in harmony with each other in the context of a marriage relationship. In Ephesians 5:21-25, Paul gives specific instructions on how husbands and wives are to treat each other.And yet, how often do we
fall short of this standard? Truth of the matter is: husbands,too often,do not love their wives as Christ loved the church; whereas wives, too often, do not submit to their husbands as they do to the Lord. This is arguably the most misunderstood, misquoted, and misinterpreted passage of scripture in the New Testament, if not the Bible. So before I go any further, let’s understand what’s not being discussed in this passage. First of all, the apostle Paul is not suggesting that men are superior to women and that women should submit because men are
somehow better than them. Rather, Paul is elevating the status of women and is doing so in two distinct ways that should be highlighted. First, note how, right off the bat, he asserts that women and men both are to submit to each other“out of reverence for Christ” (v. 21). This verse often gets overlooked as people quickly skim to the “part about women submitting,” as it were. Paul, however, was very intentional in beginning his discourse on marriage relationships this way. What he is saying is

“Every American Morale, Welfare and Recreation customer survey rolls out should see this film” – Dr. W illiam Perry, Former Secretary of Defense

WASHINGTON — Does your base fitness center need new equipment? Do you want more recreational traveling opportunities? Do you think there aren’t enough recreational opportunities for single service members, or do you think there are too many? You have your chance to make a difference by answering the Defense Department’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation Customer Satisfaction Survey, which began arriving in service members’ email boxes May 12. “The surveys are going out via email to individual active duty and reserve-component service members,” said Carol Potter, the senior program analyst for the Morale, Welfare and Recreation office here. The survey was rolled out over several days,and it is in service members’best interests to participate, Potter said. The survey asks overall questions about the military’s morale, welfare and recreation programs and then delves into specifics. The specific areas officials need feedback on are fitness, libraries, outdoor recreation, recreation centers, automotive

This is the third time the office has conducted the survey. Previous surveys were taken in 2009 and 2011. In both cases, Potter said, officials used the surveys to decide how to allocate funding. “Our service members told us they wanted that money in fitness programs and fitness centers,” she said. “They also wanted it in outdoor recreation and in single service member programs.” The information from the new survey will be crucial in making decisions on where to invest and what to invest in, she said, and can help to make the MWR program better for everyone.
ling up and are dying on our roadways,” Holcomb said.“Those who drive and ride in pickup trucks may think that their large vehicle will protect them more than other vehicles in a crash.This false sense of security may cause them to not wear their seat belts, but the stats show that this bravado is misplaced.” Simply put, seat belts hold drivers and passengers in place, helping the driver to maintain control during a collision. The shoulder belt keeps the driver from pitching forward into the steering wheel, dashboard and windshield, and keeps passengers from being ejected and from flying around the vehicle injuring others. “We want to do everything we can to reach those who don’t buckle up so we can save their lives,” Holcomb said.“If you are close to someone who doesn’t wear a seat belt on every trip, please remind them they have so much to lose, including you.”

MARRIAGE: directive to love and
serve one another as God intended — Continued from page 14 that husbands and wives are to regard each other with humility and a desire to serve the other person. He is not advocating for anything close to a “top-down” approach that allows men to exploit and dominate their wives for their own personal gain and/or pleasure. Rather, his point is best understood as a mutual sharing of servitude as both husband and wife seek to honor and please the other in the context of a marriage relationship. Secondly, Paul (thankfully) doesn’t end his instructions for marriage relationships with simply an admonition for wives to submit to their husbands. Instead, he turns right around and instructs husbands to “love your wives as Christ loved the Church.” He is using Christ’s sacrificial love for his people, which was ultimately demonstrated on the cross, as a perfect
metaphor for how husbands are to treat their wives. Paul’s admonition for husbands then is that they love their wives sacrificially and with a servant’s heart, just as Christ loved his people; a directive that dovetails beautifully with his admonition to both men and women in verse 21. Furthermore, Paul’s instruction for men sets the stage beautifully for women to do exactly what he has commanded them to do. If you are a woman and are reading this, think about something for a moment: are you more likely to follow the leadership of someone who forcefully tries to get you to do what they want, or someone who treats you with love, respect and a servant’s heart? What we should take away from Ephesians 5:21-25 is neither a perverse view of male chauvinism, nor a passive approach to marriage relationships. Rather, it is a directive to love and serve one another as God intended us to.
