Joint Expeditionary Base (JEB) Little Creek/Fort Story hosted this year’s luncheon to recognize more than 70 outstanding Sailors, Marines, Airmen and Coast Guardsmen for their accomplishments over the past year.The Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce and the local business community sponsor the event each year.

“The business community represented by the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce is delighted to recognize the military’s best through this program,” said Mike Roberts, chair of the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce Virginia Beach Division.“We’re so fortunate to have such dedicated and courageous men and women in our military and in our community.”

“Most people in the civilian world do not understand that less than 1% of the population of the United States has the courage to volunteer and raise your right hand to swear to defend our constitution ... And that many take up arms to be deployed to defend this great nation’s rights that began right here in Virginia … You all have done that and we honor you for that and we thank you for that,”

OCEANA CONTROL TOWER GETS UPGRADE TO TRAINING FACILITIES PHOTO/STORY BY MC2 TONY ROSA NAS Oceana Public Affairs Air traffic controllers assigned to Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana Air Operations Department have worked tirelessly to upgrade the training facilities at the control tower.

According to Air Traffic Control, Air Space Airways Training Specialist Lance Clark, the desire to install a new air traffic control simulator was driven by the need to train Sailors more efficiently and more effectively in any potential scenario.

“The simulator is vital to readiness, training and proficiency of the personnel providing air

traffic control,” said Clark.“We try to build all of our scripts into our training scenarios so that everything that is available to happen can happen and the Sailors will be prepared to deal with it.”

According to Air Traffic Controlman 3rd Class Jerod Winesberry the new simulator is a significant upgrade on the older training systems.

“The old system was very basic. It was kind of like dots on the screen and this one allows you to fly around the airfield, take a cockpit view, jump into any vehicle on the airfield, and you can even jump out about five miles and see the

New Global Trade Compliance impacts FPO package mailings Oct. 1 From NAVSUP Corporate Communications MECHANICSBURG, Pa. (NNS) -- The United States Post Office and Military Postal Service Agency announced new Global Trade Compliance requirements, effective Oct. 1, that will impact all packages mailed at Navy Fleet Post Offices (FPO).

"The new Global Trade Compliance program will require the data on all customs

forms for packages mailed to and from our Navy FPOs to be entered into the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) database, similar to the way U.S. Postal Service post offices are currently conducting business for international and military packages with customs forms," said Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Navy Postal Director Gabe Telles.

Luncheon: 75 service members awarded — Continued from page 1 said Bryan Stephens, president and chief executive officer of the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce.

“The business community of Hampton Roads cannot do enough for those of you that serve. We cannot do enough for your families and we cannot do enough for our veterans in this community,” he continued.

Stephens said that the goal of the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce is to make Hampton Roads the best place for service members, veterans and their families to live, work and raise families and, hopefully, decide to stay when their time comes to leave the military.

“We want you here, the values that you guys live by every single day … loyalty, integrity, honesty, selfless service, dedication – and I can go on.

Those are the qualities and traits that we want here in Hampton Roads,” Stephens said.

JEB Little Creek/Fort Story Command Master Chief Brian Schlicht called each of the 75 honorees to the stage to be presented with a certificate, coin and a bit of “swag” as well as shake the hands of local commanding officers from the military bases.

“I honestly didn’t think that I was going to get an award,” said Electronics Technician 3rd Class Channen Garrity. “I thought I was just going to be here honoring other people, but to be given something to recognize that we are doing something every day to help out other people in our … that is really nice.”

Schlicht said he and his team had been working on organizing the luncheon since last year’s luncheon ended.“Anytime we take time to recognize our Sailors to me, it’s worth whatever we put into it,” he said.

UPGRADE: ALLOWS PERSONNEL TO TRAIN UNUSUAL SCENARIOS — Continued from page 1 entire area surrounding NAS Oceana,” said Winesberry. “We can just better control and better train the real scenarios versus the old canned ones we had with the old trainer.”

The simulator has the ability to train personnel in unusual situations, such as weather affecting flight and other types of emergencies.

“What’s really great about this simulator is that we have the ability to add snow, rain, lightning and any other kind of weather you can think of so that the person training on this can have a good idea of the types of conditions they’ll see day to day,” said Air Traffic Controller 3rd Class Eric Jamison.

As an initial trainer and tester of the system, Jamison feels that the added level of training and knowledge that Sailors will receive can only benefit the com-

mand and its efficiency. The simulator, which can train Sailors in ground and local air traffic control skills, also has the ability to help integrate Sailors coming straight from A-School or from a different position in the air traffic control team.

“If we have someone new coming in from either ‘A’ school or another duty station and they haven’t trained in a specific area we can get them up and running with this simulator,” said Jamison “ It’s a very seamless transition for them because of the capabilities of the simulator.”

Because of the upgrade, Clark feels that Sailors and NAS Oceana will be better prepared and far better trained because of the new simulator.

“At the end of the day the controller is going to love this system,” said Clark. “It really is user-friendly and a great tool for learning and staying proficient in air traffic controlling. It’s a fantastic upgrade for these trainees and for NAS Oceana.”

CHAPLAIN’S CORNER Being humble is awesome!

BY LT. CMDR. ALAN SNYDER Chaplain Have you heard the story of the great African-American singer Marian Anderson?

Chuck Swindoll tells this

story. Marian Anderson retired from singing in 1965, but she was one of the greatest singers of her day.

Once in an interview, a reporter asked her to name the greatest moment in her life. She could have named: • The night Conductor Arturo Toscanini announced, “A voice like hers comes once in a century;” • In 1955, she became the first African-American to sing with the Metropolitan Opera in New York; • The following year her autobiography became a

best seller.

• In 1958 she became the US delegate to the United Nations; • She once gave a private concert at the White House for Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of England; • Her hometown, of Philadelphia, awarded her the $10,000 Bok Award as the person who’d done the most for the city; • In 1963 she was awarded the coveted Presidential Medal of Freedom; or

• The Easter Sunday in Washington D. C. when she stood at the Lincoln monument and sang for a crowd of 75,000, including Cabinet members, Supreme Court justices and most of the members of Congress.

Which of those big moments did she choose? She chose none of them. She quietly told the reporter that the greatest moment of her life was the day she went to her mother and told her she wouldn’t have to take in washing anymore.

In this life we have had,

and will have, many grand opportunities to listen to the praise of men. No matter what greatness or recognition comes from the accolades we receive, let us remember that the greatest thing we have in life is the love we have for each other.

What a great testimony that the greatest day in her life was that she could take care of someone she loved.

A person who was great and had the whole world saying so, and she remembered what was important in this life. Her humility in-

creased her ability to reach and love people because they knew what was important. The greatness of Marian Anderson didn’t merely stem from her extraordinary voice, but her humble spirit.

The Bible teaches us that if we are humble in sight of the Lord, the Lord will lift us up. We must realize that everything that we get, every opportunity we have, every breath we take is a gift from him. When we have that attitude, a more abundant life awaits.

NEW CHIEFS' NAMES TO BE RELEASED AUG. 5 From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs Office

Along with Natalie are her mother Catherine and father, retired Chief Electrician’s Mate (SW/AW) Nato Ebreo and NAS Oceana Command Master Chief Richard Haninger. Natalie attended Ocean Lakes High School in Virginia Beach and will be attending Virginia Tech in the Fall to study engineering.

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Names of Sailors selected to advance to chief petty officer by the fiscal year 2016 E-7 selection board are scheduled to be posted to commands' BUPERS Online (BOL) accounts Wednesday, Aug. 5, with public release via NAVADMIN Thursday, Aug. 6 at 11:00 a.m. eastern time.

Approximately 4,100 quotas were announced in June with an overall advancement opportunity of 23.64 percent for this cycle, just a .45 point drop from last cycle and above the 10-year average of 21.94 percent.

The selection board is not required to fill all quotas; only the best and most fully qualified candidates are selected for advancement to chief.

Because the Navy advances to vacancies, opportunity varies by rating, though advancement planners work to smooth overall opportunity across cycles.

SUNLINERS HAVE HISTORY OF FIRSTS AND CHANGE

BY CARRIE ANDERSON Jet Observer

HISTORY OF SUNLINERS INSIGNIA When the Navy redesignated the squadron as a strike fighter squadron (VFA) on March 30th, 1988, the logo was modified into its current form to reflect the squadron’s rich history. The traditional mach wave design was surrounded with four stars to represent different airframes the squadron has been assigned. Beneath the mach wave are three small stars, one for each of the three past airframes: F9F8B Cougar, A-4E Skyhawk, and A-7 Corsair II. The large single star above the mach wave represents the current airframe: the F/A18E Super Hornet. Crossing the background are three spears representing the three missions the squadron has been called upon to perform: fighter squadron, attack squadron, and strike fighter squadron.

Change came early for the current Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 81. Originally established as Attack Squadron (VA) 66 on July 1,1955, they were redesignated as Fighter Squadron (VF) 81, the “Crusaders,” later the same day. The all-weather fighter interceptor squadron would be flying the F9F-8B Cougar for the next four years and through three deployments. Their first deployment was aboard USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CV 42) in response to the Suez Crisis that occurred when Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal prompting Israeli forces to invade Egypt.

In 1959, the squadron transitioned to the Douglas A4D-2 Skyhawk and was redesignated Attack Squadron (VA) 81. After the redesignation, the Crusaders made five deployments to the Mediterranean Sea aboard USS Forrestal (CV 59) between 1960 and 1966. Not all Crusaders made those deployments though. From 1961-62, a detachment of Skyhawks from VA-81 deployed aboard USS Essex (CV 9) as the first jet unit to function as a part of an antisubmarine killer force.

Change was coming again for the Crusaders in the 1960s. With the increased use of the Vought F-8 Crusader aircraft by the Navy, including the creation of squadrons made up of only Crusader aircraft, the “Crusaders” of VA-81 were renamed in order to avoid confusion. And so the Sunliners were born.

In 1966 and 1967, VA-81 was deployed with Carrier Air Group (CAG) 8 to the Mediterranean, this time aboard USS Shangri-La (CV 38). In 1969, the Sunliners made a single deployment to the Mediterranean operating for a time off the coast of Libya following a coup that overthrew the Libyan monar-

chy on Sept. 1, 1969.

In February 1970, the Sunliners won the Navy Battle “E” for East Coast A-4 squadrons for demonstrating the highest state of battle readiness. In May 1970, VA-81 transitioned to the Vought A-7E Corsair II and was reassigned to CVW-17. Between 1971 and 1982, VA-81 made eight deployments to the 6th Fleet aboard USS Forrestal.

The squadron once again played a crucial role in naval aviation history in 1986 during a standoff with then Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi. After naval aircraft crossed what al-Gaddafi termed the “Line of Death,” Libyan forces fired surface-to-air missiles at F-14 Tomcat targets. While they missed their targets, later that night, aircraft from VA-81 acted as a decoy group for VA-83’s strike against the Libyan missile radar site.

On Feb. 4, 1988, VA-81 transitioned to the McDonnell-Douglas FA-18C Hornet, becoming Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 81. Along with the new aircraft, the squadron adopted the current squadron logo and patches that Sunliners wear today.

On January 17, 1991, VFA-81 participated in some of the first carrier-based strikes of the Persian Gulf War.The first division of Sunliners to enter combat succeeded in proving the strike fighter concept by successfully engaging in both air-to-air and air-to-ground engagement in the same flight.

As three VFA-81 Sunliners and one VFA-83 Rampager aircraft flew into Iraq on CVW-17’s first daylight strike of the war, they were confronted by two Iraqi Mig-21s. Sunliner Lt. Cmdr. Mark “MRT” Fox, and Lt. Nick “Mongo” Mongillo each downed one enemy aircraft before proceeding to and destroying their target. These were the Navy’s only two aerial victories of the war.

The day was to become bitter-

sweet for the squadron, however.

That evening, Sunliner Lt. Cmdr.

Scott “Spike” Speicher was shot down over west-central Iraq-the only aircraft downed that first night of the war. Through the remainder of Operation Desert Storm, none of the limited information available on dead or missing coalition personnel revealed the fate of Speicher. He was the only U.S. serviceman lost over land during Operation Desert Storm whose status remained Killed in Action-Body Not Recovered at the war’s end.

As the 1990s rolled on, the Sunliners continued to be pioneers in naval aviation. In 1994, as a part of Operation Deny Flight and Operation Provide Promise, VFA-81 participated in the first Atlantic Fleet deployment with the Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM).

In 1998, while deployed aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) as part of Operation Southern Watch, the squadron completed the first deployment by an East Coast air wing equipped with the Joint Stand-Off Weapon (JSOW), a long-range cluster bomb.

It was following that deployment that the Sunliners reported to their new homeport of NAS Oceana after the BRAC-mandated closure of Naval Air Station (NAS) Cecil Field.

In 2000 to 2002, the squadron completed two deployments to the Mediterranean and Arabian Gulf aboard USS George Washing-

ton (CVN-73) again participating in Operation Southern Watch.After the renewal of hostilities with Iraq and the launch of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the squadron deployed aboard USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67) in 2004, travelling directly to the Persian Gulf and participating in daily air strikes against the regime of Saddam Hussein.

From 2007 and 2008, VFA-81 was reassigned to CVW-11 in the Pacific Fleet and completed two deployments aboard USS Nimitz (CVN 68). During the first of these deployments, from March to September 2007, the Sunliners completed missions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Upon returning the NAS

— Continued from previous page Oceana at the completion of the 2008 deployment, the Sunliners turned in their F/A-18C Hornets, and began the transition to the Navy’s newest strike fighter, the Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet. On November 20, the squadron was pronounced “SafeFor-Flight” in the Super Hornet and newest era of the squadron began with an assignment to CVW-17, the Navy’s first planned “All Hornet” airwing.

From 2005 to 2009, the Sunliners were attached to three different air wings and embarked on four different aircraft carriers deploying all over the globe, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Arabian Gulf embodying the squadron’s motto “anytime, anyplace.”

The Sunliners were ready to go again in 2010 when disaster struck in Haiti. Joining three other squadrons, VFA-81 spent months providing humanitarian support to Haiti after a devastating 7.0 earthquake struck the island nation. During that deployment, the squadron transited the Straits of Magellan and experienced flight ops with

aircraft from five South American nations.

The squadron lived up to their motto “Anytime, Anyplace” once again in 2011 when they were asked to do two WESTPAC deployments with only a five and a half months spent at home.

The Sunliners are still recording firsts.

The squadron recently returned from a nearly 10-month long deployment, the longest planned carrier deployment since the Vietnam War. “It was an honor to be part of such a tactical squadron in such a dynamic environment while completing the longest planned carrier deployment since the Vietnam War. Furthermore, VFA-81 led the Air Wing with a 98.6% boarding rate and an overall Grade Point Average of 3.85 earning the “Top Hook” for the entire deployment which is a testament to the high standard held at VFA-81,” said VFA-81 Executive Officer, Cmdr. Brennan Sweeney of the most recent Sunliner deployment.

During that deployment, the squadron recorded over 2,100 carrier arrested landings, or “traps,” and flew more than 2,650 sorties, of which 469 were combat sorties

FRCMA Oceana hosts LGBT awareness forum

BY AT3 DAVID HAMLET FRCMA Oceana Fleet Readiness Center MidAtlantic (FRCMA) Oceana's Diversity Committee hosted its first Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) awareness forum on June 25. June was LGBT Pride month, dedicated to the celebration of the LGBT community and to express pride and support. The forum aimed to promote equality by promoting awareness of the LGBT community and their history to Oceana Sailors.

The LGBT community in the

Navy has faced many challenges, beginning with the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) policy instituted by the Clinton Administration. This policy prohibited military personnel from discriminating against or harassing “closeted” homosexual service members and applicants. However, members of the openly gay community were banned from joining any military service.

On Sept. 20, 2011, the repeal of the DADT policy ended the ban and allowed gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transsexuals to serve their country openly. With the recent Supreme Court ruling

allowing same-sex marriages nationwide, the Navy is now granting same-sex marriages equal spousal benefits.

"The purpose of this event is to spark awareness and educate FRCMA Oceana Sailors on the LGBT community" said Aviation Ordnanceman 2nd Class Clairease Booker, head of the LGBT event planning committee. "We as Sailors must realize that everyone deserves to be treated equally, even within our military community."

The LGBT awareness event began with Cmdr. Francini Clemmons, maintenance officer at FRCMA Oceana, sharing his views of LGBT in the military. "I support anyone that raises his or her right hand and takes an oath to our flag and country," he said. Clemmons further expressed his welcome to all volunteers regardless of race, creed or sexual orientation.

The event included facts concerning the LGBT community, such as the symbolism of the rainbow flag, historical events

5,500 flight hours, including nearly 3,000 combat hours.

and how the banishment of the DADT policy changed lives.

The event opened doors for Sailors to freely express themselves about the policy changes for the LGBT community.

"Being able to celebrate pride heritage month while serving my country is honestly beyond wonderful," said Aviation Structural Mechanic Airman Elizabeth Vega.

Vega explained that she wanted to join the military in 2003 while in high school, but feared having to hide who she was and who she loved. "Working in an open environment allows my fellow Sailors to credit me for my work ethic of what I produce rather than my sexual orientation," said Vega.

The LGBT awareness forum concluded with two videos. The first video, taking place after the DADT policy was established, displayed the direct effects of Sailors not being able to rightfully express themselves leading to a negative impact on the overall morale of the military. In

contrast, the second video took place after the repeal of the DADT policy and highlighted how members of the LGBT community were able to join the military with zero discrimination and receive marriage certificates in states where it was legal.

Aviation Machinist’s Mate 1st Class Autumn Zawadzki, head of the Diversity Committee, supervised the LGBT event. “I believe that, after this event, Sailors are now more aware of the LGBT community,” she said. "This event lets the Sailors embrace the diversity in the Navy and shows how far we have come as military service members.”

FRCMA Oceana celebrates and welcomes all Sailors through event forums to spread awareness and promote equality. The most recent policy changes regarding same-sex marriages in the military points towards better serving all Sailors and military families, allowing the Navy to support every Sailor with full spousal benefits.
