WASHINGTON — The government shutdown is over, but it will take a while for the effects to fade, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said in Washington D.C. Oct. 17.

At the shutdown’s height, more than 400,000 Defense Department civilian employees were furloughed because of the lapse of appropriations for the new fiscal year,which began Oct. 1.The Pay Our Military Act allowed the department to bring most back to work Oct. 7.The rest — about 5,000 — came back to work Oct. 17.

“While all of us across the department welcome the fact that the shutdown is now behind us,I know that its impact will continue to be felt by all of our people,”Hagel said at a Pentagon news conference.“All of them, in different ways, had their lives affected and disrupted during this period of tremendous uncertainty.”

All DOD leaders will work to repair the damage from the shutdown, the secretary vowed.

“I want all of our civilian personnel to know that the work they do is critically important to this department and this country,”Hagel said.“It matters to this department, and it matters for the country.The military simply cannot succeed without our civilian employees,and the president and I appreciate their professionalism and their patience throughout this very trying period.”

While the department must refocus on critical work, Hagel noted, Congress did not remove the shadow of uncertainty cast over DOD. “DOD is now operating on a short-term continuing resolution, which limits our ability to start new programs, and the damaging cuts of sequestration remain the law of the land,” the secretary said.

The continuing resolution passed Oct. 16 gives Congress the chance to craft a balanced long-term spending bill, Hagel said.

“If this fiscal uncertainty continues, it will have an impact on our economy, our national security, and America’s standing in the world,”he added.“If the sequester level continues, there will also be consequences.”The cuts could be devastating to training and to maintaining and equipping the force, he said.

“DOD has a responsibility to give America’s elected leaders and the American people a clear-eyed assessment of what our military can and cannot do after years of sequester-level cuts,” Hagel said. “In the months ahead, we will continue to provide our best and most honest assessment as Congress works to establish the nation’s long-term

The secretary said he is concerned about civilian morale.

“I don’t think anyone questions that the uncertainty that shutting down the government and closing down people’s jobs has brought a great amount of not only disruption to our government, to our country, but to their lives, to the civilian personnel whose lives have been disrupted by this particular shutdown,” he said.

Combined with no authorization, no appropriation, continuing sequestration and the uncertainty of planning, this creates a perfect stew for bad morale, Hagel said.

“People have to have some confidence that they have a job that they can rely on,” he explained.“I know there are no guarantees in life, but we can’t continue to do this to our people — having them live under this cloud of uncertainty.”

If this continues, he added, DOD will not be able to recruit good people.

The government shutdown and the nation’s debt limit problem are making American allies nervous as well, the secretary said.

“Our allies are asking questions: Can we rely on our partnership with America? Will America fulfill its commitments and its promises?” he said.“These are huge issues for all of us, and they do impact our national security and our relationships and our standing in the world.”

Deadlines for holiday mail delivery

Tuition Assistance payments resume

WASHINGTON — Military Postal Service Agency officials recommend that parcel post packages for service members overseas be mailed by Nov. 12 for delivery by the holidays.

Officials at MPSA, an extension of the U.S. Postal Service, have published a chart at http://hqdainet.army.mil/mpsa/xmas.htm that shows deadlines for various mailing options, broken down by the APO/FPO/ DPO numbers of various destinations.

USPS is offering a discount on its largest Priority Mail Flat Rate box at $14.85.The price includes a $2 per box discount for military mail being sent to APO/FPO/DPO destinations worldwide, officials said.

Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes are available free at local post offices, or can be ordered from USPS online.Postage,labels and customs forms also are available online.

BY CMDR. KELLY BRANNON Naval Education and Training Command Public Affairs PENSACOLA, Fla. (NNS) — Following passage of continuing resolution authority (CRA),the Navy is in the process of resuming funding of voluntary education programs, including tuition assistance.

Effective immediately, all Military Tuition Assistance applications for courses starting on or after Oct. 17 may be submitted.

All previously approved TA requests for courses which began on or after Oct. 17 will also be honored.

CNP has received inquiries regarding classes that

began during the dates of the government shutdown, Oct. 1-16. Any authorization for such classes that came prior to Oct. 1 will still be honored.

However, Navy will follow guidance from the DOD Instruction which states “All Military TA must be requested and approved prior to the start date of the course.” Since funding cannot not be awarded retroactively, classes that started Oct. 1-16 which were not authorized prior to Oct. 1 will not be paid for.

According to Navy officials,the service will resume close to normal pre-shutdown operations, with no changes to TA execution anticipated for 2014. The bottom line for Sailors is, if you have a TA voucher printed from the WebTA site, you may present this to your educational institution in lieu of payment.

NMCP to participate in drug Take-Back Day Oct. 26

Coffee habit by VAW-120 Officers’ Mess nets donation for St. Judes

From Naval Medical Center Portsmouth Public Affairs

From VAW-120 Public Affairs

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth’s main pharmacy will participate in “Prescription Drug Take-Back Day” on Saturday, Oct. 26.

Active duty service members, retirees, family members and staff can drop off expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs at the medical center’s main pharmacy in Portsmouth. Ridding the home of old medications also prevents drug abuse and theft. Patrons may bring their medications for disposal to the pharmacy’s counseling window, Building 2, 2nd floor, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.The service is free and anonymous; no questions will be asked.

This is the fourth time NMCP has participated in Drug Take-Back Day. In April, 66

pounds of prescription drugs were turned in to NMCP. Coordinators are hoping for a higher total this time.

Unused and expired medicines in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are high, as are accidental poisonings and overdoses. Studies show most abused prescription drugs are obtained from family, friends and the home medicine cabinet. In addition,Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash — are safety and health hazards.

For up-to-date information on NMCP and its branch clinics, go to www.med. navy.mil/sites/NMCP or www.facebook. com/NMCPortsmouth.

Officers from Carrier Airborne Command and Control Squadron (VAW) 120 “Greyhawks” love the taste of coffee! So much so, that they decided to switch the brand of coffee from a major coffee brand to Norfolk Coffee and Tea, a local brewing company that brews premium fresh coffee and is located in the squadron’s hometown of Norfolk.

VAW-120’s Wardroom Mess Officer and Instructor Pilot Joey Giordano found Norfolk Coffee and Tea Brewing Company via a radio commercial. After meeting with the owners of Norfolk Coffee and Tea, Giordano worked out

a deal with the brewing company that was donating a portion of coffee sales of their “Uncle Pete’s” coffee to St. Judes Children’s Research Hospital. The brewing company agreed to donate $6 per box of Uncle Pete’s coffee purchased from VAW-120.

VAW-120 has well over 100 officers, most of whom enjoy coffee, and the squadron on average purchases 12 boxes of Uncle Pete’s coffee a month.

The squadron has been ordering coffee from Norfolk Coffee and Tea since March 2013 and so far, has donated more than $400 to help the children at St. Jude’s. The squadron is on track to have a yearly donation of more than $950.

Military parenting website assists with communication, building relationships

BY AMAANI LYLE American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON — Service members who deploy or are otherwise separated from their families due to mission needs now have an online resource allowing them to hone their parenting skills as they reconnect with their children.

Pam Murphy, the Defense Department’s lead psychologist for the website, said the launch of http://www.militaryparenting. org offers unprecedented, comprehensive and free computer-based training from a service member’s perspective on parenting and building strong relationships with their children.

A clinical psychologist with more than 20 years of experience in community and private practice, Murphy said the Integrated Mental Health Strategy Program is a collaborative initiative between the Veterans Affairs Department and DOD.

“We initially did an environmental scan of everything within the DOD as well as commercially available, and one of the areas that seemed to be at a deficit was a comprehensive parenting program that looks at the basics,” Murphy said.

She noted that while a plethora of parenting information exists online, it was difficult to identify a free, private “militarycentric” program.

“This is one of the first of its kind,” Murphy said.The interactive site,she explained, develops and reinforces parenting skills to help families reconnect through in-depth technology solutions that appeal to younger parents.

“Many of the parents in the service member population are generally younger,” she said. “Prominent age groups of their children are typically 5 or below.”

Murphy added that the site goes beyond the job and hits home in terms of affecting family relationships, building resilience

and helping service members to be happy with their lives within the military.

She also noted that service members’ personalized accounts interwoven into the site make the situations and solutions relatable.

“We included videos of real service personnel ... to talk about their real-life experiences with parenting, reintegrating and making those everyday decisions,” Murphy said.

The website consolidates and simplifies information that was previously accessible across multiple resources, said Air Force Senior Airman Matthew Siegele, a protocol specialist, and his wife, Air Force Staff Sgt. Sabrina Siegele, noncommissioned officer in charge of knowledge operations,both of whom work at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash.

“We’ve been through so many parenting classes, counseling and therapy, and a lot of the resources and advice is mirrored

on this site,” Sabrina said.“This website is excellent — it’s a one-stop shop instead of jumping around to multiple appointments.”

During family separations, Murphy said, applications such as Skype and Facetime can help in keeping families connected, but the military parenting website provides ideas for technology-based activities that can help in reuniting parents and children after a deployment.“A lot of times, kids don’t know what to talk about with their parents when they are on the phone or on the computer with them,” she said.

Murphy said the website can help military parents to reconnect with their children.

“Parents can benefit from this site, and I believe they want their kids to grow up to be happy, healthy, fully functioning adults,” she said. “Here, they’ll find strategies and ideas to [get] even better in terms of helping kids to grow, mature and blossom.”

Lights on Afterschool Oceana Youth Programs was among participants in the 14th annual Lights on Afterschool, Oct. 18, a rally to bring attention to the importance of afterschool activities for children. Military installations worldwide and civilian communities conducted nearly 8,000 events to call attention to the need for all children to have access to afterschool programs. Oceana CYP offered fun activities in their gym for the kids who attend their afterschool program and also offered information booths for parents, who were invited to attend.

Lights on Afterschool is a project of the Afterschool Alliance, a nonprofit public awareness and advocacy organization working to ensure that all children and youth have access to quality afterschool programs.
