“The Sailors who man our ships and squadrons should be extremely proud of what we, as a team, accomplished while deployed to the 5th Fleet AOR,” said Miller.

“Carl Vinson Strike Group has the watch and their presence, like ours, will enhance regional stability and make a difference in the fight against terrorism.”

CDSA Dam Neck hosts community Hispanic heritage event STORY/PHOTOS BY TAMMY VAN DAME Combat Direction Systems Activity, Dam Neck Corporate Communications Director The Hampton Roads defense and business communities came together at a local Navy base to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month Oct. 8.

Capt. Eric Tapp, commanding officer, Combat Direction Systems Activity, Dam Neck, a Naval Sea Systems Command warfare center, hosted a panel discussion and luncheon for Sailors,government civilians and the community, featuring prominent Hispanic military and civilian leaders in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month at the Shifting Sands Club on Dam Neck Annex.

Bryan Stephens, president and CEO of the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce, was among those who attended.

“Capt. Tapp and his command are not only recognizing the importance of Hispanics to our community, but how vital it is to offer a unique perspective of both military and business leaders contributing to the discussion. It was an honor to take part in such an excellent event.”

In keeping with the 2014 national

theme of “Hispanics:A legacy of history, a present of action, and a future of success,” the panelists shared their challenges and best practices.

“The U.S. truly is the land of opportunities,” said Coast Guard Capt. Andres Delgado, chief, Office of Diversity and Inclusion, who immigrated from Cuba in 1966 during the rise of President Fidel Castro.

“In Cuba, I came from a very wealthy family, but we lost everything and started again. It was not easy, but my family made it happen.”

Delgado recalled his early personal struggles to join the military after his college graduation. Delgado credits his wife Ann for her persistence and support of his dreams.

“She called the Navy recruiter once a week until he suggested we give the Coast Guard a call and they said yes. Always move forward and you will achieve,” Delgado said.

The three other panelists are originally from Puerto Rico, but their individual experiences provided the audience with diverse perspectives.

“Never stop learning,” advised Olga Torres, president of the Hampton Roads Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

Torres was 13 when she moved to New Jersey and just 18 when she made the cross-country trek to California with a teenage friend in search of higher learning. What she found on the West Coast went well beyond books.

“Californians I encountered in the business world assumed I was Mexican because they never met any other Latin people. This shocked me, but I looked at this as an opportunity to educate people about the broad spectrum of Hispanic culture. And, for me, I gained tremendous business insight on the cultural gaps between non-Hispanics and Hispanic consumers and businesses.”

Torres took those lessons and applied them successfully throughout her career and still uses them today to advocate and educate the business world.

Joel Vargas was living in the Bronx when he entered the Navy at 16 on a

During the Hispanic Heritage Month observance at CDSA Dam Neck, Olga Torres, president of the Hampton Roads Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, shares her experiences with the audience, as part of a panel discussion Oct. 8. Also on the panel are Dr. Gladys Brignoni, deputy commander, Force Readiness Command U.S. Coast Guard; Joel Vargas, military representative for USAA insurance; and Coast Guard Capt. Andres Delgado, chief, Office of Diversity and Inclusion.

About Hispanic Heritage Month The months of September and October are chosen to cover a wide range of independence days for Latin American countries. Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua all celebrate their independence on Sept.

15. Mexico celebrates its independence on Sept. 16 and Chile on Sept. 18. El Día de la Raza (Columbus Day) is observed on Oct. 12.

For purposes of this celebration, the term Hispanic includes persons with ancestry from the countries of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, Spain, Uruguay and Venezuela.

waiver that his mother couldn’t read, but signed anyway at his urging.

“I got my first taste of success in the way of a promotion after graduating from my first Navy training school. After that, there was no turning back.“ Vargas ended up retiring as an officer and is now a military representative for USAA insurance. He has the opportunity to speak frequently with Sailors and tells them to work hard and stay positive.“Ev-

eryone has to earn it. Success comes, but only if you make it happen.”

“It wasn’t cool to be Latina in the 1970s Midwest,” said Dr. Gladys Brignoni, who landed in a small Indiana town with her parents and a few words of English just in time to begin school.

Brignoni is the deputy commander, Force Readiness Command U.S. Coast Guard.“My early reaction to the situation was to assimilate, not embrace, my ethnicity. When I realized my error, I knew I would choose education as my profession in order to educate others.“ Brignoni joined the Peace Corps and then accepted a Department of Defense position where a colleague gave her unusual and unsolicited career advice.

“A male co-worker who outranked me took me aside and expressed his doubt that I would be successful because I was a woman and a Hispanic.”

That was a powerful motivator for Brignoni. She set out to prove them wrong by completing additional training and education that eventually led to her rising to the senior executive service (SES), the civilian federal service equivalent of an admiral. Now senior to most federal employees, she is the one giving advice.

“Everyone has something to offer — a diverse point of view. It is up to leadership to recognize that and bring those people in. And when that door opens, you must be ready and bring something to offer.”

RUNWAY 5K: celebrated the

239th birthday of the Navy — Continued from page 1 to run on the runway,” said Sibelius, about the 5K which crossed all four runways at Oceana.

Sibelius said the successful run was the result of coordination between MWR, the air operations officer, public affairs officer and base security. She also praised “the military volunteers who have worked with us out on the flightline. They have been outstanding. They made the setup and everything go smoothly.”

The event not only drew individual runners but also parents pushing single and double strollers, as well as members of “Team Hoyt Virginia Beach.” Gary Brown ran the race while pushing his adult son Timothy in a specially-designed chair made for running.

“I do not run a race without him. He’s the only reason I run,” said Gary. “Our group’s philosophy is that any person can experience the thrill of a road race. Our local group here pushes disabled folks.”

Team Hoyt Virginia Beach is an organization that assists people who are physically disabled become active members of the community.

I love this weather and of course, celebrating our Navy’s birthday. It’s fun to be part of that.”

— ADAN Alexander Ray, first place finisher

Since 2009, the duo has been competing in between eight and 14 races each year, including the Boston and Disney marathons, as well as local runs. Gary saw a brief about Oceana’s race in the Virginian-Pilot and thought it would be fun to be out on the runway.

It was fitting that the runway run was won by an Oceana Sailor whose job it is to maintain the F/A-18 Hornets that fly from NAS Oceana’s runways. Aviation Machinist’s Mate Airman Alexander Ray, 20, from Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 106, broke the tape with a time of 19:03.“I love running,”said Ray,who had just finished working the mid-check with the “Gladiators.”

“I love this weather and of course, celebrating our Navy’s birthday. It’s fun to be part of that,” said Ray, who also competes in local races.

Kellie Zinchini, 25, the wife of a Navy diver, took second place overall and was the first female finisher with a time of 19:16.

“This is a good race to come out to and it’s for free,” said Zinchini, who enjoys competing in a variety of road runs when she’s not working at the local running store.

“This is fun, it’s interesting to see the open space and it’s a nice day to run,” Zinchini added.

Following the run, NAS Oceana Commanding Officer Capt. Kit Chope presented awards to the top finishers and thanked the participants and Oceana personnel for making the first Navy Birthday 5K on the Runway a success.

“This is a great way to start a week, a great way to recognize the Navy’s 239th birthday,” said Chope.

“Let’s do this again next year, what do you say?” asked Chope, as the runners voiced their agreement with loud cheers.

Oceana galley hosts appreciation luncheon to honor employees with disabilities STORY/PHOTO BY MC3 TIMOTHY DAUGHTON NAS Oceana Public Affairs

Culinary specialists from NAS Oceana’s Hornet’s Nest Galley (r) serve food during an annual appreciation luncheon for their coworkers who have disabilities from Chesapeake Service Systems Oct. 8.

NAS Oceana held a luncheon Oct. 8 at the Hornet’s Nest Galley to honor the employees with disabilities from Chesapeake Service Systems (CSS).

During the luncheon, the galley was also presented with their 7th consecutive 5-Star Accreditation award, which highlights strengths in customer service, cleanliness and management.

“All the employees from CSS love working here.They love interacting with people and it has helped them a lot with becoming more out-going,” said Terry Denmark, Oceana site manager for CSS. CSS has been providing job opportunities for adults with disabilities for more than 25 years and the agency prides itself on helping each individual reach personal

and professional goals. Currently, there are 26 employees working at the galley doing various jobs, such as washing dishes, cleaning and serving food, according to Denmark.

“As I go through day-to-day,I am enlightened at just how important a job is to a person with a developmental or severe disability,” said Thomas Swanston, chief executive officer of CSS.“The fact that we have been able to put people with such severe disabilities to work, the American Association for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities no longer says that a person’s condition is constant.They now say it is relative to the environment and to having a place where they can feel productive.”

Swanston told a story about a mother of one of the CSS employees thanking him in tears. The woman said she had a

daughter who was 38-years-old and spoke for the first time in her life after receiving a job through CSS. “What I really enjoy is whenever we have these luncheons; they [CSS employees] show how excited they are about being able to have a good job and being part of the community. It helps their social skills and it is nice to see someone enjoy their job everyday,”said Chief Warrant Officer 3 Aleithia Castro, Oceana food service officer.“Regardless of the diversity, where you are from or being hearing impaired, I believe it is a benefit twofold for the workers, as well as our Sailors, and they get a chance to understand a different piece of diversity that most people might not have the opportunity to work with.”

CHAPLAIN’S CORNER The value of mentoring

BY LT. JOHN GIBSON Carrier Air Wing 1 Chaplain I recently saw a picture online with the following caption: “You want to know the difference between a ‘master’ and a ‘beginner’? The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried.”

It is no secret that people and communities are just

two of God’s gifts to us.

Thanks to those most important to us and those to whom we live closest, we not only tend to become better off physically and materially, but also spiritually and emotionally. “No man is an island,”as the poet John Donne once put it.

On a more specific level, however, we can especially benefit from communal relationships in the context of mentoring. What exactly is “mentoring?” According to Merriam-Webster’s online, mentoring is defined as “someone who teaches or gives help and advice to a less experienced and often younger person.”

Let’s face it, we’ve all been “less experienced” and “younger” at some point.

Truth is, we likely always will be in relation to at least a few people. It’s pretty safe to assume, therefore, that at one point or another, we will need a mentor in our lives to teach, coach and at times, correct us along life’s journey. As someone who personally has had the benefit of learning from several great mentors along the way, I can attest firsthand to the level of expertise and wisdom that they bring to the table and can speak into one’s life.

That’s all well and good, you may be saying, but what specific areas of life can a mentor help with? Here are a few: • Professional — In our chosen line of work, individuals who are older, have

Hear, my son, and accept my words, that the years of your life may be many.”

– Proverbs 4:10

more time in service, and can thus train and teach younger service members are already “built-in,” so to speak, as ideal mentors.

Regardless of one’s line of work, however, everyone should have a mentor who is showing them how best to ply a trade and better put to work the particular skill set of their chosen profession.

• Personal — Who is helping you grow and develop as a person? This particular type of mentoring could be done by a parent or other older relative, a co-worker, supervisor or really anyone that you trust enough to speak words of wisdom into your life. Bottom line: we need people who have walked the life paths that

we ourselves intend to walk someday. Their advice can be invaluable.

• Spiritual — There may be some overlap here between this category and the “personal” type of mentoring, but nonetheless, a “spiritual” mentor is someone who is helping you go deeper specifically in your spiritual life. This role is often best met by a pastor, other clergy person or spiritual leader who you identify as ideal to help you deepen your walk as a spiritual being. Even if you are not a typically spiritual person, it would be wise for you to find someone with whom you can discuss spiritual matters, if for no other reason than to broaden your knowledge

about other faiths and belief systems. Challenging your own opinions often can lead to enlightenment, as well as more security in what you believe.

Having a mentor is important.Being a mentor is equally as important.As someone older and wiser than you pours their lives into yours, make sure you’re taking what you glean from a mentoring relationship and passing it along into someone who might need it from you.

This is how we learn.

As I said before, I have been blessed to have many mentors and I hope to mentor others as I progress in my life and career. I hope you will do the same.

Navy housing annual Resident Satisfaction Survey distributed From Navy Installations Command Public Affairs WASHINGTON (NNS) — Navy housing residents can now provide feedback through the annual Resident Satisfaction Surveys (RSS) which is being distributed to both government-owned or leased and some privatized housing residents.

Residents in family housing should receive the RSS through the mail but may also participate online. Participation in the survey allows for valuable feedback which helps with improving quality of life services for Sailors and their families.

“We are focused on providing superior customer service, housing and amenities to our Navy housing residents,” said Navy Housing Program Director Greg Wright. “Hearing from our customers is critical to sustaining and improving our business.”

The RSS measures all aspects of customer satisfaction with Navy Housing, including staff services, the condition and maintenance of homes, and other provided amenities such as loaner furnishings and housing community centers. Navy Housing encourages all residents to answer the survey and to provide comments which will help the housing staffs know where and how they may improve the services provided.

The survey is also used to target funding for facility and amenity improvements.

“Our residents’ feedback also drives improvement in

facilities and services,” said Wright. “Project priorities are set based in part on resident satisfaction with the housing they receive.”

Three governmentowned locations — Andersen Air Force Base, Naval Station (NS) Rota, and NS Guantanamo Bay — will be part of a pilot online-only survey process in 2014,and these residents will receive a letter with instructions regarding accessing their surveys online. All other residents of governmentowned and leased family housing Navywide will receive a printed survey that can be returned by mail or submitted online.

This survey cycle also includes all residents at the following privatized housing locations: Carroll’s Creek at NS Everett, Corpus Christi Naval Air Station (NAS), NAS Kingsville and Naval Complex New Orleans. All Navy Housing residents are surveyed annually at various times during the year; only those listed above are included in this specific survey cycle.

Rampagers hold change of command

BY LT. BRENDAN BUHOLZER VFA-83 Public Affairs Officer Cmdr. Nathan A. Ballou relieved Cmdr. Jesse W. Hilliker as commanding officer of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 83 on Sept. 25, during a change of command ceremony on NAS Oceana.The guest speaker for the event was retired Capt. Dan Dixon, former commander, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8.

Hilliker joined the “Rampagers” of VFA-83 as the executive officer in February 2012, during the squadron’s first of two back-to-back combat deployments aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69). He assumed command in June 2013 and led the Rampagers to many accomplishments throughout his tenure. Under his guidance, VFA-83 safely returned from a combat deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and executed multiple training detachments, including carrier qualification aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), two air-tosurface detachments with Naval Special Warfare Group 2 to Alpena, Mich., and air-to-air detachments to NAS Key West, Fla., Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla., and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson,Anchorage,Alaska.

In recognition of the squadron’s success with Hilliker at the helm, the Rampagers were awarded the 2013 Chief of Naval Operations Aviation Safety Award, the 2013 “Jig Dog” Ramage Award for operational readiness, the 2013 Blue “M”Award for medical readiness, and a Meritorious Unit Commendation as part of Carrier Strike Group 8.Additionally under his leadership, the Rampagers extended their safety record to 20 years and 82,000 flight hours with zero Class A mishaps.

Hilliker graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1996. He earned his naval aviator wings of gold in 1998 with Training Squadron (VT) 21 in NAS Kingsville,Texas.

Hilliker initially deployed with VFA-25. He then report-

ed to the Empire Test Pilot School in the United Kingdom and completed test pilot training in 2003.

LUNCHEON: showed appreciation for the

26 CSS employees of Hornet’s Nest Galley — Continued from page 5 work and get the job done. I like serving the customers and telling them have a nice day,”said Easter Dozier, CSS employee and dining room attendant, who has been working at the galley over six years.

Culinary Specialist 3rd Class Andrew Patrick, assistant watch captain at the galley, explained how working with the CSS employees compares to the temporarily-assigned personnel from other departments he worked with on his previous ship.

“A lot of people on the ship are assigned to supply and they become disgruntled because that is not why they joined the Navy, but these civilians come in here every day and work through their disabilities, and do a great job,” said Patrick.

NAS Oceana Commanding Officer Capt. Kit Chope gave closing remarks.

“This is such a wonderfully emotional day for my staff to come here. I love to see my CSes sitting down with our partners and our family members from Chesapeake Services; that doesn’t happen enough.” said Chope.

TRUMAN SAILORS TEE OFF ‘FORE’ TEMBE CUP

BY MCSN JUSTIN R. PACHECO USS Harry S. Truman Public Affairs Sailors stationed aboard aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) competed in the 4th annual Tushar Tembe CVN Cup golf tournament Oct. 15.

Sailors from Truman, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69), USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), Pre-Commissioning Unit Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), USS Enterprise (CVN 65) and USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) participated in the competition at NAS Oceana’s Aeropines Golf Club.

The tournament consisted of two courses at Aeropines, the Tomcat and Hornet.

The Tembe Cup is awarded to the carrier whose Sailors posted the lowest cumulative score from both courses.

While Enterprise ultimately won the Tembe Cup,Truman was represented well.

The team of Capt.Bob Roth,Truman’s commanding ofďŹ cer, and Capt. William Hamilton, Enterprise’s commanding ofďŹ cer, won ďŹ rst place after posting the best score on the Hornet course. Aviation Electronics Technician 1st Class Nathan Payne, Logistics Specialist Seaman Cavon Carr and Sonar Technician (Surface) Seaman Jonathan Law, all Truman Sailors, placed third on the Hornet course.

The tournament is named after the late Capt.Tushar R.Tembe, who passed away in 2011, days before the inaugural golf tour-

nament he helped plan. While a cancellation was discussed, the tournament continued in honor of Tembe’s memory. “We are here to pay homage to the memory of Capt.Tembe and continue the tradition he started,� said Truman’s Command Master Chief Raymond D. Kemp. “Shipmates from different carriers came together to honor a great man and a fellow shipmate. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter who won or lost because the experience was gratifying and the excitement was evident throughout the day. We don’t have a lot of chances to get together like this and share our camaraderie with other ships, so it felt good to catch-up with shipmates from other commands and play some golf.�

With more than 240 Sailors from the various aircraft carriers participating in the tournament,Truman’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation representatives were pleased with the turnout and conďŹ dent in next year’s tournament.

According to Jenny Snyder, Truman’s MWR coordinator,Truman had the biggest player turnout, followed by Eisenhower, Lincoln and Roosevelt. “We had a maximum capacity of about 290,� said Snyder. “Nearly everyone who signed up, showed up; we’re really happy with the turnout.We look forward to building from the success of this year’s event and making next year’s even better.�
