STORY/PHOTOS BY MC2 (SW) ALYSIA HERNANDEZ NAS Oceana Public Affairs Family, friends and Sailors filled every seat and more in the ceremonial hangar bay Aug. 7 on board Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana for the celebration of Command Master Chief (AW/ SW/EXW) Eric Clark’s 30-year career in the U.S. Navy coming to a close. Clark, born in Parkersburg, W.Va. and raised in Ohio, enlisted in the U.S. Navy delayed entry program during his junior year at Belpre High School from which he graduated in 1985. Clark completed Electronic Warfare Technician (EW) “A” school and Navy Security Guard School prior to reporting to his first duty station at NAS Fallon, Nevada. He served as a leading petty officer aboard USS Stump (DD 978) where he was selected as the 1993 Sailor of the Year. Clark was selected to be a chief petty officer in 1995, senior chief in 2004 and master chief in 2007. In 2008, Clark was selected into the Command Master Chief (CMC) Program. That year he attended the CMC/Chief of the Boat course and the Navy Senior Enlisted Academy. Clark reported to NAS Oceana as the CMC in May 2013. Though Clark said he and his wife Jennifer have anxiously talked about retirement for many years, now that it’s finally here he said he has mixed feelings. “It’s all I’ve ever known, so I don’t know what Aug. 10 is going to feel like when I wake up and I have nowhere to go,” Clark said. “When I go

CHAPLAIN’S CORNER
A story of innovations
LT. ROBERT FASNACHT Chaplain A spiritual look at the Investor’s Business Daily “Top Ten Secrets to Success.” #8—Don’t be afraid to innovate; be different: follow-
ing the herd is a sure way to mediocrity. The Navy is nothing if not a story of innovations by Sailors trying to make a difference and make things better. I’ve been told that the origination of Carrier Landing Signals Officers (LSO’s) came from a Sailor waiving dixie cup covers to assist a plane trying to make a landing. Even if that’s not the case, the innovation of using optical landing system devices instead of the use of “paddles” (colored flags or wands) was an innovation that, according to a lecture by Robert Heffley, resulted
in a decrease in carrier landing accidents from 35 per 10,000 landings in 1954 to 7 per 10,000 landings in 1957. An internet search of “Innovation in the Navy” reveals a robust and vibrant listing of blogs of service members sharing and debating their ideas for innovations as well as a request from the Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus for Sailors at all levels to participate in crowdsourcing their innovations. You can learn more at http://www. secnav.navy.mil/innovation/ Pages/Home.aspx. I looked at bible.org to find an example of bibli-
cal innovation and came up with this example you might enjoy: Perhaps you may remember Hank Luisetti, the great basketball player of a few decades back.When Hank came along, virtually every basketball coach in the country insisted that his players shoot with two hands. Instead of two hands, Hank used a jerky, funny-looking, one-handed jump shot. His coach, looking for results rather than method, was smart enough to let him use it. The rest is basketball history—today almost everybody uses Hank’s one-handed jump shot.
OK, I was expecting an example more like that of Noah, perhaps. Not of a seafaring people, Noah built an ark dynamically able to withstand a global flood.You can imagine the heckling he received from those around him. But today, none of their names are known in history, only Noah’s. So going against the herd can be an uncomfortable place to be, but if you feel strongly about your innovation, run it up the chain or all other proper avenues you can find. The greatest innovation, bar none, was creation itself. The God who could speak
into existence billions of stars over space so vast it boggles the mind is also so powerful and present as to also be available to us at all times as our comforter and guide. It’s as if the Chief of Naval Operations, who has so much to oversee, could also always have an open door policy to all Sailors, at all times, desiring to hear about our day, our experiences, our concerns, our dreams. That would be something special and amazing, wouldn’t it? So every time we create and innovate, we’re following in the footsteps of our Creator, the great Innovator.

RICHARDSON CONFIRMED AS NEXT CNO BY MC1 ELLIOTT FABRIZIO Chief of Naval Operations Public Affairs WASHINGTON (NNS) — Adm. John M. Richardson, director, Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, was confirmed by the Senate as the 31st Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Aug. 5. Richardson will replace Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert who has been CNO since September 2011. Vice Adm. Frank Caldwell, who was also confirmed by the Senate today, will succeed Richardson later this month as the director, Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. “I am honored and humbled to have been nominated and confirmed to succeed Adm. Greenert as our Navy’s next chief of naval operations,” said Rich-
ardson. “Adm. Greenert and his wife Darleen have been tireless and superb advocates for our Sailors and their families. I am deeply grateful for their service to our Navy and nation. I am excited to lead the extraordinary men and women in the world’s greatest Navy.” The change of office ceremony will be held in September at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. Richardson, 55, hails from Petersburg, Va. He graduated with a degree in physics from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1982. Richardson also holds master’s degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the National War College. As one of the Navy’s top leaders, Richardson has a broad-based record as an operational commander. Richardson commanded the nuclear attack submarine USS Honolulu (SSN 718), served as a naval aide to the president of the United States, as well as numerous other assignments through his career. Richardson received the prestigious Vice Adm. James Stockdale for inspirational leadership award in 2001, among a long list of personal and unit awards.

CLARK: THIRTY YEARS COMES TO A CLOSE — Continued from page 1 to my closet I have to figure out what I’m going to wear!” Clark was 18 years old when he joined the Navy and he said initially he did not plan on making a career out of it. “During my first enlistment I swore up and down that I would never ever, ever re-enlist,” Clark explained. At about his four year mark in the Navy he changed his mind. He said he arrived to his first ship, went to sea for five days and when he got home he went to Jennifer and told her that he loves the Navy and is going to re-enlist. He said he loved sea duty and it made the decision to reenlist every time it came up very easy. “As I started getting more senior, the reason why I stayed started to change and when I became a CMC it wasn’t about sea duty anymore, it was about the Sailors,” Clark explained. “I don’t know where it changed or when I decided I was going to make it a career but I know that there were times that I said I would never reenlist and here I am 26 years later and I’m retiring at 30.” In his 30 year career, Clark said he exceeded his own expectations. He recalled many years ago that his goal was to make 1st class petty officer. “I achieved much more than I ever thought I could. I’m just a guy from small town Ohio, who graduated probably at
At the end of the day, as the saying goes, ‘every good thing must come to an end,’ and I think this is it for me.” -CMC Eric Clark

the 50% mark in my high school class,” he said. He explained that the Navy and some leaders along the way pointed him in the right direction and helped him make the right decisions, plus the backing of his wife and biggest supporter. In addition to a career that he excelled in, Clark said the Navy has afforded his incredible opportunities and brought him to places he’d never even heard of. “I’ve gotten to go to some awesome places and do some cool things like cross the equator, go into the Arctic Circle, go through the Suez Canal, Panama Canal,” Clark recalled. “You can’t do those things in small town Ohio, or going to college … the Navy has afforded me so many cool

and interesting things.” In the past weeks leading up to retirement, Clark added a few more things to the list of opportunities he’s had. “So, the skipper and [executive officer] pushed me out of a perfectly good airplane. Skydiving was awesome!” Clark said. “I got to ride in an F/A-18 with [Lt. Cmdr. Shaun “Snot” Bellemare]. That was amazing! To be able to say that you broke the sound barrier and did flips and barrel rolls.” Also in the past couple of weeks Clark dedicated some time to seek out certain Sailors to thank them for what they do and present them with a challenge coin. The Sailors at NAS Oceana and Dam Neck Annex also made it a point to give Clark a proper send off by hosting multiple potlucks, luncheons and two Sailors at the galley even prepared a special meal just for Clark and his wife. Clark said the Sailors are the part of the Navy he will miss the most. “I’m going to miss a Sailor coming up and me being able to help them whether it’s professionally or personally. I’m going to miss the camaraderie of the chief petty officers. I’m going to miss the family atmosphere that the Navy provides,” he said. Clarks plans for retirement include moving back to Ohio, where he and Jennifer are having a house built, and going to school to weld, something he said he’s always wanted to learn. His hopes are that he will be at the bowling alley seven nights a week and that he can just spend

some time relaxing. “My mom’s excited I’m moving back closer to her, my mother-in-law as well,” Clark said.“After being gone for 30 years it will be nice to spend more time with them.” Though he’s excited to move back closer to family, Clark says he still has mixed emotions because of all opportunities, experiences and great people the Navy has afforded him. “At the end of the day, as the saying goes, ‘every good thing must come to an end,’ and I think this is it for me.” Clark said he still wants to find a way to give back to the Navy but his time working for the Navy has come to an end. “I don’t think you could ever find a better way to spend your time than to serve in a branch of the military,” Clark said.“But, as for the Navy, though I’ve never served as a naval officer, I don’t think there is anything better in the United States Navy than to be a chief petty officer.”

Drill: Oceana prepares for upcoming air show — Continued from page 1 Schager said if a mass casualty were to occur, NAS Oceana’s team and the community team are ready to react quickly and swiftly. Large scale mass casualty exercises are done quarterly at NAS Oceana and this one is designed specifically in preparation for the air show. “We usually do our pre-air show mishap exercise on the air field and we focus on the fact that we are going to have very large crowds. Last year we enjoyed 314,000 visitors
on our installation. This year we expect somewhere around the same,” said Schager. “So, in doing these drills, we focus on an aircraft piece. That’s why you saw the helicopter simulated on fire. We simulated an active shooter which is part of what we do regularly as well on the installation.” More than 300 Sailors, Marines and civilians volunteered to take part in the exercise. Sixty volunteers wore a tag on their wrist with an injury and a brief description of the severity of it from the active shooter. Emergency responders treated each injury

as if they were real. Schager said that training with a large volunteer group reflects what he would expect during the air show. “We want to make sure that all folks that are coming and enjoying the air show are confident and comfortable that, should any incident occur, we are very confident we’ll be able to respond swiftly and timely,” said Schager. “As a commanding officer of an installation, I think security for anyone at any installation throughout our community is always a concern, but of the training drills we do today, I view a lot of confidence in our ability to respond and I’m very confident in our security team
here on the installation.” According to Schager, he and his team have taken great steps in security, especially in the last six months in preparation for the air show. “We’ll have metal detectors, we’ll have security screens … part of the invites that are going out, we’re telling our folks that are visiting for the air show what some of the prohibited items are. You can’t bring large bags, of course you can’t bring any weapons or knives or any other metal objects and that’s very clear for our visitors. Should they come on board and happen to have one of those, I’m confident they will be screened and dealt with appropriately.”

The Norfolk Tides, a minor league baseball team, hosted its 8th annual Navy Night at Harbor Park Aug. 8. The event was held in honor of the men and women of the U.S. Navy and to showcase the capabilities of commands in the region. “Tonight we celebrate our naval forces that have evolved from six frigates to the most dominant and influential naval force in the world,” said Jack Ankerson, former executive director of the Hampton Roads Sports Commission. Before the game, public interactive displays from Navy Expeditionary Combat Command and Mid-Atlantic Fire & Rescue were set up outside of the ballpark. Inside the park were tables featuring displays from Hampton Roads Naval Museum, Navy Stewards of the Sea and a Sailor from Naval Station Norfolk performing basic knot tying skills. On the field, fans in their seats were shown a demonstration with Dokie, a Navy working dog trained to find explosives and take down threatening persons. “It went really well,” said Master-AtArms 1st Class Nick Webster, attached to a K-9 unit from Naval Air Station Oceana. “It was a great chance to show the public what we do.” Following that, seven recruits from a local Delayed Entry Program (DEP) recited the oath of enlistment on the third base line, making their entry into the Navy official. “My favorite part of the night was watching the admiral swear in all of them,” said Yeoman 3rd Class Ashley Bracken, from Norfolk. “It brought back the memory of when I swore in.” After Rear Adm. Rick Williamson, commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic, joined in throwing the first pitch, fans held their hands over their hearts for the national anthem. The Tides, dressed in blue digital camouflage, then took to the field to begin the game. “As Sailors, with the nature of our job being deployed, sports is life-blood to us,” said Williamson.
