Chaplain’s
Corner
The tyranny of tomorrow BY LT. JOHN GIBSON Carrier Air Wing 1 Chaplain “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.” — Proverbs 27:1 “Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you,tomorrow,you’re only a day away.” — Little Orphan Annie “I’ll do it tomorrow,” “Tomorrow is going to be hard,” “Tomorrow is going to be great.” — Us Too often, the longer the present day wears on, the more we think about the next one; our to-do list, our eager anticipation (or, in some cases, dread) of upcoming events, and most of all, prediction of how it’s all going to turn out.We’re told to “live for today” and “carpe diem (seize the day),” but the reality is that our nature often compels to look forward and neglect the present. This is not an entirely negative thing.A big part of our success in whatever we choose to endeavor is based on proper planning.Thus, we need to be forward-looking and forward-thinking. However, the flip side is that this can become a negative thing if we allow it to. How does this happen? 1.When we neglect what’s most important.Our spiritual lives are the epicenter of our being, yet how often do they take a backseat to our hand-held devices and, even more so,to the calendar therein? We need to make time to refresh ourselves spiritually so that when we do face tomorrow, we can do so with renewed energy and motivation. 2. When we neglect our loved ones. How many of “those moments”do we miss due to planning? Whether we’re planning the next big thing or just laying out the routine tasks to accomplish for the next day, the truth is that every day with those whom we love is a gift. May we never become so busy that we forget this and thus miss the opportunity to spend time with those to whom we’re closest and to tell them that we love them. 3.When we neglect today. Have you ever become so fixated on what was happening next that you forgot about an important event that was happening now or in the very near future? I certainly have.We need to remember those things that require our attention in the present even as we’re looking toward the future. Take some time to enjoy the present and tend to those things that are most important in your life, even as you are planning for the next day and the ones that will follow.

Feds Feed Families 2013 campaign a success
BY MC2 ALEXANDRA SNYDER Defense Media Activity-Navy WASHINGTON (NNS) — With schools beginning across the country, children once again have access to school nutrition programs.To help fill the need this summer when they didn’t,the 5th annual Feds Feed Families campaign collected more than 900,000 pounds of non-perishables for distribution to food banks across the fleet. “Feds Feed Families is a summer long food-drive to benefit the National Capital Area Charitable campaign program, where pounds of food and other non-perishable items are collected to support families
across America,”said Rama G. Latin, Department of the Navy Charitable Campaigns administrator.“Without access to nutrition programs, children and families across the country may be at risk of hunger in the summer.At the same time, donations dip in the summer months as donors take a vacation or change their routines.” Since the program’s inception, Navy and Marine personnel have placed boxes at collection points across bases worldwide, ensuring that all Department of the Navy staff and service members have the chance to donate, with chaplains collecting donations on board ships. — See Campaign, Next page

Campaign: Navy surpasses last year’s food collection goal — Continued from page 3 Nearly 75 percent of this year’s donations came from Department of the Navy entities, surpassing last year’s collection goal and helping more than 500 food charities in the Washington, D.C. area alone, said Dylan Menguy, coordinator, media and events for the Capital Area Food Bank. “Feds Feed Families is one of our biggest food drives of the year,”said Menguy.“It’s a way for us to help act as a stopgap for the times when kids are being fed daily at school, at least for breakfast and lunch,and when those children have that vital source of food cut off during the summer months. Feds Feed Families helps us bridge that gap.” Although the campaign officially ended Aug. 28, 20 percent or more of the child population in 40 states and Washington, D.C. will continue to live in food insecure households, and those still wanting to make a difference for them can bring their donations to their local chaplain’s office who can distribute it to food banks and charities in the local area. “The need to run this program is great; our generosity to run this campaign is greater,” said Latin.“With this campaign, we are helping communities in every state and area around the fleet.”

— Continued from page 1 disorder, and increased awareness to signs of suicidal behavior can help save lives. “I was very close to my friend,” said Kevin Mashek,“Out of the Darkness” registration volunteer. “He drifted away from me and I regret not being there for him (when he committed suicide), but being here helps me to cope with it along with his family.” According to Hampton Roads S.O.S., the 10th leading cause of death among Americans is suicide, which is often a result of untreated depression.Also, post-traumatic stress disorder is a leading cause of suicide in the military, and in Virginia alone, one of every four adults who commit suicide is a military veteran. “Being in the military, we see a lot of people going through hardships in different ways around the world, and we’re here to let them know we support them,”said Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class David Jack.“Suicide is a really serious medical issue, and if we can prevent losing even one person from our overall mission in the military, it helps everyone as a whole.” For more information on suicide prevention, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK.

Ekstrom has conducted training for more than 250 Navy galleys, ships and submarines. Dam Neck and Oceana galleys conduct monthly trainings covering everything from basic skills to garnishing and cake decorating.
Trainings revive creative touches, improve skills for culinary specialists BY MCSN KAYLA KING NAS Oceana Public Affairs Dam Neck Annex galley held a soup and salsa training for culinary specialists throughout the Navy Mid-Atlantic Region Sept. 4 - 5. They invited food expert and culinary arts connoisseur, Chef Nydia Ekstrom, certified executive chef with Unilever Food Solutions, to help train the staff at Dam Neck, help revive the culinary arts atmosphere and to attract more patrons to the facility. “We try to do more creative ideas with the menus. I look at her [Ekstrom’s] schedule and see when she is available and then I see what we need to do to prepare for the training,” said Felicia Boyson, a military sales representative. “We tell the galleys what they need to purchase before we come out and hold the trainings.” Ekstrom has done training for more than 250 galleys, ships and submarines. NAS Oceana and Dam Neck Annex galleys try to host different training sessions every month to improve the skills of culinary specialists. Previous trainings have been cake decorating and garnishing training. Both galleys invite any culinary specialist from any command to come out and work on their skills. “This was a great opportunity for additional training for our junior culinary specialists from around the Hampton Roads area coming together from different Navy

did tuna salad and added vegetables to it, which brings the calorie content down and makes it healthier, and we did various soups.” After the training was complete, the Sailors had one hour to use ingredients of their choice to make a final plate to determine who had the best dish. The judges were Chief Culinary Specialist (SW) Nigel Mahone, Ruhling, Ekstrum and Roger Brown, also with Unilever Food Solutions. It was a close competition that had the judges baffled. Instead of awarding a gold, silver and bronze medal to the top three teams, each team will receive a gold medal with each member’s name engraved on it and team members will also be given a certificate. The participants were encouraged to write down their recipes to have the nutrition information added in and possibly served as a meal at the galley. “I’ve been in a lot of competitions and this has been some of the best presentations I have seen; that’s the key to the competition,” said competitor Culinary Specialist 3rd Class (SW) Tommy Green from the Dam Neck galley. “This type of training takes a lot of planning and effort, but is so very rewarding after execution.We always look to develop our CSes and help them grow in every way possible and this is just one way to raise the bar in training curriculum,” said Ruhling.

Of the 34 crew members aboard the Marine Electric, 27 people were recovered; only three survived. Seven Marine Electric crew members were never found, possibly still aboard the ship.The deceased were later pronounced dead by medical examiners who indicated the cause of death to be hypothermia and/or drowning. Meanwhile, as the sun rose, the Marine Electric had already begun a slow descent into oblivion, beneath the sea where it lay in perpetuity.

Costello, commander of the Coast Guard’s 5th District praised the commitment of the SAR team “in one of the largest and most sudden search and rescue cases with which he’s been involved.” Following the tragedy, the Coast Guard launched one of the biggest Marine Board of Investigations in its history.After several congressional hearings, the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1984 was passed to ensure the Coast Guard was properly equipped to respond to such cases. Although the Coast Guard had created the rating of Aviation Survival Technician (AST) in 1969, up until after the Marine Electric tragedy, the job had been to inspect and maintain life support equipment,perform ground handling and servicing of aircraft, and conduct aviation administration duties. But very quietly in the 1984, the Coast Guard joined forces with the Navy, which permitted prospective Coast Guard helicopter rescue swimmers to train with Navy swimmers at the U.S.Navy Rescue Swimmer School at NAS Pensacola, Fla. The new rating initially known as Aviation Survivalman or ASM graduated five members in the first class. Rescue swimmers assigned to Air Station Elizabeth City officially became the first operational unit with helicopter rescue swimmers on March 5, 1985, with air stations throughout the country following suit throughout the following years. After a few years of training with the Navy, Coast Guard made some modifications because some of the methods taught at the joint service school were not applicable to the Coast Guard’s search and rescue mission.These methods included scuba, deploying parachutes, tree extraction and mountain rescue.The Coast Guard’s main emphasis is peacetime rescues,not downed military recovery methods. Editor’s note — Information was compiled by Jet Observer Editor Cathy Heimer from the newspaper’s archives and a 2008 story by Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Christopher Evanson, which previously ran in the Jet Observer.

Campaign: Mid-Atlantic Region supported KWYE with key summer events — Continued from page 1 “The Navy Region Mid-Atlantic was a huge supporter of our Keep What You’ve Earned campaign this summer,â€?said Favorite. “They hosted Memorial Day Weekend send-off events at six installations and rallied more than 650 Sailors together to march in support of responsible drinking during the Fourth of July liberty weekend.â€? Other Keep What You’ve Earned summer safety events took place at Naval Base San Diego, Naval Station Great Lakes, Naval Shipyard Kittery, Naval Base Kitsap, and the Washington Navy Yard. In addition to these events, NADAP partnered with the Naval Safety Center’s “Live to Play, Play to Liveâ€? Summer Safety Campaign. Together they encouraged Sailors and Navy personnel to take an online pledge to practice responsible drinking habits this summer.Hundreds of Sailors took the pledge, promising to plan ahead for a safe ride home, not try to “keep upâ€? with others, and to know their limit, before they got there. Responses from Sailors regarding why they pledged to drink responsibly included: â€˘â€œI don’t want to lose my career and future just because of an irresponsible drinking decision.â€? • “I want my fellow shipmates to know that they have a good liberty buddy dedicated to their safety if a DD is needed.â€?

Three easy resume steps to an interview BY SANDY MEADOW FFSC Oceana Employment Educator
Looking for a
This training, available for presentation at your worksite, teaches command personnel to serve as sponsors.Topics include ways to be an effective sponsor, duties and responsibilities, military and community sources of help, and FFSC relocation assistance.
How long do most employers spend reading your resume? “Just 5-15 seconds!â€? employers say. Why? Because they’re skimming a stack of 300 resumes to ďŹ nd the top four candidates for interviews. What are they looking for in those few seconds? Their key words! If you don’t say that you meet or exceed all of their requirements in your qualiďŹ cations section, they’re reaching for the next resume. If you do, they’ll spend the next 5-10 seconds skimming your experience section. So what’s the best way to capture all their key words? Just copy and paste their ad into a Word document. Next write your accomplishments based on their duties. Here are the steps to write a targeted resume for each ad. 1. Find an ad. For civilian jobs, try www. indeed.com. For a federal search, visit www.usajobs.gov. 2. Copy the ad into Word and re-format. Do use bullets throughout. Don’t use lines or italics. If their requirements are true for you, keep the same words and same sequence in your qualiďŹ cations.If it’s not true,
take it out. If you have something better, substitute. Example: “Associate’s degree in progressâ€? instead of “High school diploma.â€? 3. Write accomplishments for their duties. The ad tells you what they want you to do. All you have to write is how you did each duty and any results you achieved.You could stop at step three or you could enhance your targeted resume. 4. Enhance. Use your generic resume, evals, awards or VMET to quantify with numbers, percentages or dollars. “That sounds too easy,â€? job seekers say. It is easy for you‌ and you’re making it easy for the employer to call you for an interview. That’s the purpose of a resume — to land an interview. Now you’ve also started preparing for the interview‌You had to think about and write your best achievements for each of their duties. So save the generic resume for job fairs and networking.Write a targeted resume based on all the key words from each ad. It’s as easy as 1-2-3! Visit the Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) at NAS Oceana to attend an Effective Resume Writing workshop, get help writing resumes or translating military to civilian and for resume reviews. Call the FFSC Oceana at 433-2912.
