INSIDE
BY CATHY HEIMER Jet Observer Two members of the classic rock band “Styx” took a day off from their busy concert schedule to spend time with the “Checkmates” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 211. Following their June 1 concert at the Farm Bureau Live amphitheater in Virginia Beach, Lawrence Gowan and Tommy Shaw, along with band support staff, spent much of June 2 at Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana. First stop for the band was Oceana’s F/A-18 simulator, where the musicians were given the chance to “fly” the Navy’s fighter jets. Describing the simulator visit as awesome, Shaw, guitarist and vocalist for the band, tested his skills on a night landing on a carrier. “I have bragging rights over our assistant tour manager, who was betting on me to crash and it didn’t work out that way,” he laughed. For Gowan, lead vocalist and keyboardist for Styx, the flight simulator ranked as one of his favorite parts of the tour. “Sitting in a flight simulator — who gets to do that on a day off?” he asked with a smile. Band members were provided a briefing in the Checkmates Ready Room by Lt. Carl Federoff and Lt. Brian Hudson. While officers and enlisted Sailors from the squadron were eager to meet Gowan

The Battle of Midway took place June 4 - 7,1942,where U.S.Navy carrier strike forces prevented the Japanese from capturing control of Midway Island in the Pacific. The victory proved to be a pivotal point of World War II and is an important marker in naval heritage.
“The Battle of Midway was not only a turning point at the beginning of World War II, it also revolutionized the face of naval warfare forever and was the real birth place of today’s aircraft carrier strike groups, which is the cornerstone of our nation’s naval power,” said Capt. Kit Chope, commanding officer of NAS Oceana. “I am excited about the future of the Navy as we continue to grow leaders who carry the legacy of American ingenuity, valor and dedication that the heroes of the Battle of Midway possessed. We honor those that served during that battle, along with the heroes making

JEB Little Creek-Fort Story hosts D-Day remembrance BY MC3 LAURA HOOVER Navy Public Affairs Support Element-East World War II veterans, distinguished guests and service members came together at Joint Expeditionary Base (JEB) Little Creek-Fort Story,June 6,for a remembrance ceremony to honor the sacrifices made by Allied Forces during the World War II invasion of Normandy, France. This day marked the 70th anniversary of the turning point in World War II, when Allied Forces stormed the beaches of Normandy, putting their lives on the line for the liberation of Western Europe. Maj. Gen. Ross E. Ridge, deputy commanding general of Training and Doctrine Command, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, the ceremony’s keynote speaker, said it is important for everyone to pause from their busy day to reflect on the importance of events in history such as D-Day. “Our veterans helped pave the path for where we are today,” said Ridge. “The values that service members live by today are the same values that the service members who came before them fought for.Today’s service members are part of a legacy that will set the tone for future service members who come after them.”
D-Day by the numbers 160,000 Allied troops; 113,000 Allied aircraft and 5,000 naval vessels all converged on the beaches of Normandy June 6, 1944.
Service members filled the Enlisted Beach on JEB Little Creek-Fort Story for a ceremony which included tributes, traditions and speeches to observe a day labeled as the biggest naval invasion in history. Many service members had the opportunity to participate in re-enacting the events on the beach. “It was a great opportunity to be able to participate in the D-Day remembrance ceremony,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Pierre Cook, attached to the Army’s 11th Transportation Battalion.“It was nice to take a break from our daily training to reflect and pay respect to the service members that came before us.” The ceremony included Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC), Landing Craft Utility (LCU) and Lighter, Amphibious Resupply, Cargo (LARC) vehicles, among other vehicles to symbolize more than 50,000 ve-

hicles that made D-Day possible. Commander, JEB Little Creek-Fort Story Capt. Frank E. Hughlett, said he felt a strong sense of pride and emotion during the ceremony. “I was most happy to see the young Soldiers, Sailors and Navy Junior ROTC cadets interfacing with the veterans,” said Hughlett.“Keeping the continuity of what it means to serve our great nation from generation to generation is amazing and this ceremony helped demonstrate that.” More than 150,000 service members
from various nations helped to support one of the most historic battles in the world. More than 3,500 service members lost their lives during the Battle at Normandy. Cook expressed his gratitude for the DDay veterans and his fellow service members. “It was an honor to meet these men who contributed so much to our nation,” he said.“It’s a really good feeling being able to show appreciation for our heritage and past as we continue to serve.”

8 JET OBSERVER • June 12, 2014 CPPD Command Master Chief (SW/ AW) David Colton, delivers a presentation about the Battle of Midway to staff at CPPD headquarters at Dam Neck Annex. The Battle of Midway, which took place June 4 - 7, 1942, was considered the turning point of the war in the Pacific during World War II.
Battle of Midway lessons still teaching today’s Sailors BY SUSAN D. HENSON Center for Personal and Professional Development Public Affairs Officer The Center for Personal and Professional Development Sailors and civilians commemorated the Battle of Midway, June 5, with a presentation led by a command leader with a unique view on the engagement. The Battle of Midway is widely considered to be one of the most significant naval battles ever fought and the critical turning point in the Pacific theater during World War II. CPPD Command Master Chief David Colton has a personal tie to this history. “My father was in World War II, and I had the honor of meeting many Pearl Harbor survivors during my tour aboard USS Pearl Harbor,” he said. These interactions provided him with first-hand accounts from service member who fought in the war. Colton’s presentation recounted the history leading up to the Battle of Midway to illustrate the battle’s importance and critical lessons. The United Stated had remained neutral prior to entering World War I, acting as a
key supplier to Britain and other Allied powers. In just 19 months of formal U.S. participation from April 6, 1917, until the war ended, 116,516 U.S. service members were killed and 204,002 wounded. “My father and other World War II veterans told me that back then, Japan seemed like another planet to most Americans,” he said.“It was just 23 years after World War I, and we’d suffered catastrophic losses then. As a result, there was absolutely no appetite for war. But Pearl Harbor changed that.” The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941, became a rallying point for America’s spirit to never give up.“Despite defeat after defeat by the Japanese in the first months of the war, the forces of the 1940s were amazingly resilient — they never gave up,” he said. Colton gave an example of this resilience using Doolittle’s Raid on April 18, 1942, which was an important operation leading up to the success of the Battle of Midway. Colton said one of the most impressive aspects of the operation was that the original idea for it came from a Navy submarine officer who was on temporary duty in Norfolk.

“He happened to see the shadow of two Army Air Corps bombers flying over the outline of an aircraft carrier painted on the ground for pilot training. This submariner asked ‘what if?’ But nay-sayers said there was no way it could be done — all the way up to senior U.S.leadership.It was Chief of Army Air Forces Lt. Gen. [Henry] Hap Arnold who saw the possibilities and ran with it,” he said. According to Colton’s research, it took some convincing in both services because, technically, U.S. forces didn’t have land-based bombers that could reach Japan. U.S. ingenuity and dedication were employed full force when Army Air Corps B-25B Mitchell medium-range bombers were gutted to the bare minimum, and crews trained completely on land for a sea-air mission. “It’s amazing that the first time one of these bombers flew off the end of a ship at sea was during take-off for the actual mission — just 400 miles from the Japanese coast. They didn’t know if the planes would even make it off the flight deck and into the air. But they did.” The raid caused hardly any material damage to Japan. In part because of cloud cover, the pilots hit secondary and tertiary non-military targets or missed them completely. “How the raid succeeded, was in raising American morale and casting doubt on the ability of Japan’s military leaders to defend their home islands,” Colton said.“It also caused Japan to withdraw its powerful aircraft carrier force from the Indian Ocean to defend its home islands.The raid also contributed to Japanese Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto’s decision to attack Midway in the Central Pacific.” Another point Colton made during his presentation was about Sailors of all ranks
and communities contributing to mission success. Pacific Fleet cryptanalysts intercepted 500 to 1,000 Japanese radio messages per day in May 1942. They deciphered and translated approximately 25 percent, which enabled intelligence analysts to deduce that Midway was the Japanese target. “Based on this critical intel, Adm. Chester Nimitz devised the battle plan. He took calculated risks, gave orders, and then trusted his team to execute those orders — whether flag officers, pilots and their crew, submariners or surface ship crew, they were all an essential part of mission success,” Colton said. Midway was a dramatic and desperately needed victory. Facing four experienced Japanese aircraft carriers, the U.S. Navy won the four-day battle that began June 4, 1942, with just three aircraft carriers — Enterprise (CV 6), Hornet (CV 8), and Yorktown (CV 5) — augmented by land-based fighters, bombers and torpedo planes from Midway. “And this was four months after the Pearl Harbor attack.Yorktown was just out of the shipyard and not even at 100 percent yet,” added Colton. The balance of sea power in the Pacific shifted from Japan to a level playing field between it and America. Soon after the Battle of Midway, the United States and its allies would take the offensive in the Pacific. “The feats of ingenuity, courage and dedication to mission are lessons we still lean on today,” said Colton.“The men and women of the 1940s American forces fearlessly stood up to the threat of democracy.They lived our Navy core values because the world’s freedom depended on it. Today we honor their dedication and sacrifice as we continue their proud tradition of service.”

Styx: Band members spend day off touring Oceana, VFA-211 — Continued from page 1 and Shaw, the musicians were just as interested in the military, asking many questions about the length of their missions, frequency of deployments and more. As band members entered the PR Shop, they were greeted with the familiar sound of “Renegade.” Suiting up in flight gear, Shaw and Gowan proved to be good sports, mugging for the camera and posing for photos with anyone who asked.They snapped photos of each other in the helmets, equipped with the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System and joked about how Shaw’s head was too big for the helmets. According to tour manager George Packer, spending the day at Oceana was a rare treat for band members, who perform 110 - 115 shows a year.They are currently touring as part of a “package” with Foreigner and Don Felder, former Eagles guitarist, to promote their latest album,

“The Soundtrack of Summer.” From May 14 through July 27, the bands will perform 40 shows across the U.S., so Packer said it’s good to have a day off and see something “besides the inside of a hotel room or the tour bus.” “We know you guys have the best toys and to get to be anywhere near it and the people who operate it … it just reminds us of how easy our job is,” explained Shaw about why they wanted to spend one of their few days off at Oceana. “Not a lot of heavy lifting in our job and if we make mistakes, most people don’t even notice,” Shaw added. Although they’ve visited other military bases across the country,“it’s never been anything like this. It’s indescribable,” said Shaw about his visit. Joking about being the “lone Canadian” in Styx, Gowan said, “I enjoy a day off where we can be with people from other walks of life. I’m just fascinated with the things I’ve learned.” “To meet people who are so highly skilled that are able to operate this type of equipment, it’s a very interesting way to spend a day off,” said Gowan, who also enjoyed seeing the F/A-18 up close. As they toured VFA-211’s hangar, they were presented chief petty officer coins by Master Chief Aircraft Maintenanceman (AW/SW) Ray Hager.“It’s the least I can do, I’ve enjoyed their music all these years,” said Hager. “We always help people, especially if they’re coming through on a tour. We’ll make sure everybody gets a good understanding of what we do on a day-to-day basis,” explained Hager after he answered questions from Gowan and Shaw about the Super Hornets and the squadron’s mission. After getting an autograph from the band, Hager said, “If they had time, I’d take them out and have them autograph my Harley.” As tour guides, both Hudson and Federoff volunteered to show the band around their hangar. Federoff had a unique reason for want-

ing to meet one of the band members. In the 1970s, his mother, who is from South Chicago, was dating the bass player for Shaw’s band MSFunk. Good friends with Shaw’s girlfriend, his mom attended Shaw’s wedding to his first wife. “I grew up listening to Styx, because my mom was obviously a fan,” explained Federoff, who was surprised to find out that Tommy Shaw remembered his mom.

about how humble and engaging the musicians are. “They seemed like regular guys,” said Hudson. “It’s not what you expect from rock stars,” added Federoff. “They were great people.They were very interested in what we do and we are very interested in what they do.” “This was a fun thing to do.A good way to start off the week,” said Hudson.
“As a skipper of the America in the battle of Kuwait during Desert Storm, I can only try to relate to the scenario of June 4th 1942. On this very day 72 years ago, our Navy and nation experienced the most significant sea battle in its history. It was a battle between aircraft carriers that has not been duplicated to this day.The training, experience and ingenuity of those Sailors during the battle made the difference, and the greatest generation benefited as they turned and sailed toward the sound of gun fire,” added Ewing. For the U.S. Navy, 340 lives were lost, as well as USS Yorktown (CV 5) and the destroyer USS Hummann (DD 412) which were also lost during the battle. On the Japanese side, 3,057 were killed in action. “I believe our nation’s will and industrial capacity will be in place when called.We will always have bold and accountable leadership and we must always have highly trained and resilient Sailors and their families. Standing here in front of us today, we pay tribute to them,” Ewing said in closing.

Awards: CDSA Dam Neck Sailors, civilians honored — Continued from page 5 “The Transition GPS training curriculum clearly filled a demonstrated technical training need identified by the White House, while simultaneously saving the DoD millions of dollars by eliminating the need for transitioning service members to attend resident training,” said Tapp. Master Chief Operations Specialist (SW/AW) John Appleton, CDSA Dam Neck’s senior enlisted leader, and Information Systems Technician 1st Class (SW) Daniel Heidbreder were each presented with the C.J. Rory Award in a ceremony May 7 to commemorate technical and scientific achievements of military and civilian employees within the NSWC DD. Appleton managed 11 individual military and civilian programs, volunteered in several organizations, including serving on the Dam Neck Annex’s Board of Governors, where he provided oversight/management for 14 commands raising over $5,000 in scholarships. Appleton provided superior efforts
for fleet Sailors as well. “Master Chief Appleton has unsurpassed technical expertise,” said Junior Johnson, his civilian project manager. Appleton supported the Battle Management Organization/Human Machine interface working group for dual band radar development/implementation on board the Pre-commissioning Unit Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78). “His contributions resulted in improved coordination, visual interaction and responsiveness by the Sailor,” said Johnson. Heidbreder, a systems administer,received his Rory Award for leading the configuration and installation of the virtual computing environment of an unclassified tactical system network, named Real Time Switching System. During this time, he developed the certification and accreditation package to obtain the authority to operate. “This complex process is required for network security and IT1 Heidbreder dedicated himself to this task, ensuring the maximum amount of network assurance,”said Charlotte Bauser, CDSA’s network administrator.
While getting the accreditation, Heidbreder identified and corrected over 300 vulnerabilities and reviewed 32 security guides, which included over 1,700 checks. The fourth CDSA award went to the Command’s Cyber T&E/Surface Combat Systems Center (SCSC) team for their work supporting the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) in the development of the Enterprise Cyber Range Environment – Aegis. The team’s technical prowess provided innovative technical and engineering solutions that met DOT&E cyber assessment requirements. Their tremendous contributions to cyber security enhanced and improved maritime cyber readiness and directly affected combat and strategic operations that satisfied DOT&E cyber requirements, while overcoming changing requirements and accreditation challenges. “The CDSA Cyber T&E/SCSC team was instrumental in ensuring the environments were engineered to be operationally relevant and technically representative of the actual operational platforms. This technically robust environment provided the ability to test and evaluate cyber effects, develop cyber playbooks, and enhance cyber defense tactics, techniques and procedures,” said Tapp.

The Adventure Park at the Virginia Aquarium conducted its grand opening ceremony, May 30, to a crowd of 150 invited guests. Representatives from the City of Virginia Beach, the Virginia Aquarium Foundation and The Adventure Park offered comments and participated in the “ropeâ€? cutting.After the ceremonial festivities, guests were invited to climb and zip! At the park, guests can climb in the Adventure Forest or in the Labyrinth. The Adventure Forest spreads through about six acres of the canopy, just north of the Marsh Pavilion. After completing a safety brieďŹ ng on how to use “always-locked-onâ€? gear, guests climb into a main tree platform where they can choose from 13 different trails that are color-coded to indicate degree of difďŹ culty. Trails are marked like ski runs, with some suitable for novice, some for intermediate and some for advanced climbers. These trails include more than 170 challenging crossings made of rope, cable and wood. Among these crossings are more than 20 zip lines.The most chal-

lenging trails are up to 55 feet above the ground.The longest zip line runs 315 feet and crosses Owls Creek. The Labyrinth is a climbing area similar to The Adventure Forest, but it’s scaled down for younger climbers, ages 5 - 9,and even parents who are young at heart. It includes 40 platforms with various crossings between them. The Aquarium and The Adventure Park are separately ticketed activities. The Virginia Aquarium’s non-proďŹ t foundation and the Connecticut-based Outdoor Ventures Group, a leading national authority on aerial forest parks, designed and built The Adventure Park at Virginia Aquarium.

Wounded Warrior Team Navy Trials come to a close BY PATTY BABB Navy Wounded Warrior — Safe Harbor NORFOLK (NNS) — More than 60 seriously wounded, ill and injured Navy and Coast Guard athletes, as well as their families and friends, gathered for the closing ceremony for the Wounded Warrior Team Navy Trials in Norfolk June 7. “I don’t have family here, but all of you are like my family,” said Navy Master-atArms 2nd Class Marijka Temple while addressing the crowd at the celebration. “I don’t want this to end.This has meant so much to me, and I just love all of you.” Temple, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, was among more than 30 trials participants who have not yet attended the Warrior Games, an annual competition among wounded warriors from all branches of the service. Throughout the week, athletes trained rigorously and participated in several fierce competitions to win a spot on Team Navy and advance to the Warrior Games. “It was so great to see so many new faces at this event, and to watch them test their abilities,” said retired Coast Guard Electrician’s Mate 1st Class Paul Johnson, who was injured in a shipboard accident. “So often, medical professionals tell you NC1 Misty Taylor prepares to dive into the pool for a race during the Wounded Warrior Navy Trials at Virginia Wesleyan College June 4.

what you can’t do. But this event is all about your abilities, and what you can do.” “Before [these adaptive athletics events], my injury defined me.Now,I am defined by my willingness to move forward,”he added. The Wounded Warrior Team Navy Trials were jointly sponsored by Commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic (CNRMA) and Navy Wounded Warrior (NWW) - Safe Harbor. During the closing ceremony, Rear Adm. Dixon Smith, CNRMA, was joined by Adm. Bill Gortney, commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFFC). USFFC played an integral part in the execution of the event and arranging local support for the wounded warrior athletes. Gortney, Smith, NWW Director Capt. Brent Breining, and other organizers and volunteers handed out gold, silver, bronze and participation medals to the wounded warrior athletes.A complete medal count, as well as the Team Navy roster, will be posted on the NWW website (http://safeharbor.navylive.dodlive.mil). “I left home in pieces,but I am starting to put them back together again, and I hope to come home more whole,” said Navy Culinary Specialist 2nd Class Michael Dacanay, who has been diagnosed with a serious illness.“I am learning so much from the people here.Another athlete has been

through [similar medical treatments], and he is sharing tips with me. It’s about much more than sports.” The closing ceremony also provided an opportunity to honor the local sponsors who supported the Wounded Warrior Team Navy Trials. Each athlete had at least one sponsor who cheered for them during competition and, in some cases, took them out for meals and other recreational opportunities. “I have a lot of respect for these Sailors, who could have chosen to just stay home,” said Navy Senior Chief Personnel Specialist Paul Buchanan, who was sponsoring Temple. “Instead, they’re out here doing stuff.The camaraderie is great to see, and I’m having a great time. I do wish that others could see it, too.” At the closing ceremonies, event organizers also thanked the 160 local volunteers who helped ensure the smooth execution of the event. Amanda Loeffler, whose husband is a Navy expeditionary ordnance disposal technician currently on deployment, was among the dedicated volunteers, and she often worked until late in the evening. “I firmly believe that if someone has given limbs, or given some other part of themselves, for my freedom, I should give back to them,” she said. Throughout the week, the Wounded Warrior Team Navy Trials, which featured 65 wounded warrior athletes, drew more than 700 local spectators, making it the largest adaptive athletics event ever hosted by NWW.
NWW coordinates the non-medical care of more than 2,500 seriously wounded, ill and injured Sailors and Coast Guardsmen and provides resources and support for their families. NWW is sponsoring Team Navy at the 2014 Warrior Games. To learn more about NWW and adaptive athletics, call 855-NAVY WWP (628-9997) or email navywoundedwarrior@navy.mil.
