Super heroes, large and small, turn out for Military Family Festival BY CATHY HEIMER Jet Observer Thirty minutes before the doors opened to the annual Military Family Festival Oct. 26, a crowd of “super heroes” of all shapes and sizes had already formed inside the Virginia Beach Convention Center. Batman and Robin, Superman, Captain America, The Incredibles and youthful soldiers in camouflage, were joined by Ninja Turtles, princesses in all pastel colors of costumes, and a family of Dr. Seuss characters, among others. And by the time the doors opened at 11, a line of children and their parents snaked across the center’s entrance for the free event bringing together military families with local nonprofits and businesses that serve them.
Previously hosted by the Tidewater Military Family Services Council (TMFSC), 2014 marks the first time it was hosted by Military Newspapers of Virginia (MNV), publisher of the Flagship and Jet Observer newspapers. “In addition to producing weekly papers, we also put on a number of important events that support the military community … We saw this as opportunity to step up and take on the family festival this year.We’re proud to host this year’s Military Family Festival,” explained Laura Baxter, publisher and general manager of MNV and The Flagship Inc. “This is designed as an opportunity for military families to have a chance to come to a very military-family-friendly event, where they can bring their children.They can learn a little bit about military support organizations
at the same time they are here. At the same time, they can interact with the community partners that support them,”said Russell Ariza, TMFSC chairman and executive director of the Armed Services YMCA. The festival has drawn 6,000 in each of the past two years, and to accommodate its growing popularity has meant moving it to larger spaces.Although held in the convention center for the third time, the exhibit halls were used to make it easier for young families with strollers and those with wheelchairs. One of the youngest super heroes attending had to be Henry Powers, just 2 weeks old.“We came to check things out,”explained new mom Natalie, as a sleeping Henry was carried by his dad,Machinist’s Mate 2nd ClassAndrew Powers from USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69). Dressed as Mrs. Cat in the Hat, Brandy Jemmott and her husband Miljan, who was the Cat in the Hat,brought their six children for the second year in a row.Four of the kids were dressed as “Things 1 – 4” and the remaining were two little“whos”from“Horton Hears a Who.” “We came last year and we loved it,” said Brandy, who retired from the Army, as Miljan, a — See Military Family Festival, page 8

Dam Neck galley shows appreciation for CSS employees at luncheon STORY/PHOTO BY MC2 (SW) ALYSIA HERNANDEZ NAS Oceana Public Affairs In conjunction with National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), the Dam Neck Galley by the Dunes hosted their annual appreciation luncheon for its Chesapeake Service Systems (CSS) employees on Oct. 10. CSS is a private, non-profit organization that provides job opportunities for people with disabilities in Hampton Roads. In addition to providing jobs, CSS provides its employees with transportation to and from their work place. CSS employees and their family members filled the seats in a room of the galley set for the event. Dam Neck Food Services Officer Ed Ruhling kicked off the luncheon by welcoming guests and inviting them to eat a meal specially prepared by the Navy’s culinary specialists. “This is my third year doing this for CSS and I absolutely love it … If it wasn’t for them this galley would not function.They are the backbone to Dam Neck Galley, so I am proud to give back every time they ask me to,” said Culinary Specialist 1st Class Jason Lowry. “I have a special needs child, so I look at what they do for the surroundings and what the company does for them,thinking that maybe someday if my son falls into that particular [category] that there’s going to be hope for him, like there is for these people that are challenged in that way,” Lowry continued. After everyone was served, Ruhling provided some background about the luncheon.“It actually started with Tom [Swanston] in 2008; he had come over here and presented the Dam Neck active duty crew with a nice appreciation plaque.” The plaque was from CSS to show their appreciation for what the galley staff does for them, the company and their employees. Ruhling said it was decided that the galley wanted to reciprocate the display of appreciation for the CSS staff. “The employees of CSS here at this galley come seven days a week, work every day and you’re providing a service and
meals to our active duty … So, we should do something for you and prepare a nice meal and have you sit down and we’ll cater to you for a minute.We’ll take that little special time out to say thank you and we appreciate you.” After giving a brief history of NDEAM, Ruhling took a moment to speak “from his heart.” “All of you, you get to come to work every day, the military beside each of you … You all come here smiling everyday with great, positive attitudes as soon as you walk through the door. Some of you are singing … Some of you are even dancing,” Ruhling explained, as guests laughed and picked out their singing and dancing co-workers. “That makes my heart fill with joy.” CSS Executive Director Thomas Swanston started his speech by praising the military for their part in employing people who have disabilities. “It’s National Disabilities Employment Awareness Month, here’s some awareness; we stand at 70 percent unemployment for people with disabilities. That is a horrendous problem.” Swanston said. “We have a war going on, on unemployment for people with disabilities. So, who comes to fight that war? Our military! Our military across the country is employing hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities. That is an amazing domestic battle because our military fights for those who can’t fight for themselves.” Swanston discussed the impact having a job has on the CSS employees.“The amazing transformations from the day that someone comes to one of these galleys to sometimes it’s weeks, sometimes it’s months, sometimes it’s years, but we see a person go from being completely introverted, completely disabled, barely functioning to where they are flourishing,” Swanston said. Swanston explained to the CSS employees why he considers them heroes. “You said to yourselves, ‘I don’t care what the world thinks, I don’t care what my barrier, I’m going to overcome it … You folks who have a disability, I can’t say enough about you. You just needed an opportunity and you charged through the door.” The CSS site manager for the Dam Neck
Lori Harris and her mother Careddwin share how working at the Dam Neck Galley by the Dunes has impacted Lori’s life during the annual CSS appreciation luncheon Oct. 10.
Galley, Kisha Hunt, read a letter from the parents of Joseph Briggs Jr., who for the second year were unable to attend, but asked that their letter be read. In the letter, the family discussed their appreciation for the organizations involved in the program that their son has “been allowed to be a part of,” and what it has done for him.“We don’t know what Joey … would be doing if it wasn’t for this wonderful program. It has done so much towards his social development, independence and self-esteem.This program gives him the feeling of being a productive member of society. “We are both retired from our careers but Joey does not ever let us forget he is the only employed person in the house,” Hunt read as the room filled with laughter. “Joey now feels he is ready to have his own place and live on his own; along with his caseworker, we are trying to accomplish his goals.We are sure without a doubt,that his independence came from being in this program.” Hunt then invited family members and employees to share how CSS has impacted their lives. A guest hollered “best dressed!” as Antoine Williams approached the podium in his all black suit.“I’m proud to be working here, it’s like my family away from home and it’s thanks to you all that I’m best dressed,”Williams joked.“It’s like they say, when you got it you flaunt it!”
He continued by thanking Hunt, the employees, Ruhling and the bus drivers for their service.“They’re the best people that I could work with … I thank everybody for allowing me this opportunity.” Lori Harris also shared why she enjoys her job.“I’ve got a lot of friends here, a lot of Navy people I mess with,” she laughed. “I love you guys so much, you’re like family to me … I love this job!” NAS Oceana Commanding Officer Capt. Kit Chope discussed a common theme the guests had brought up. “Everybody who came up here said something about family.A family is a group of people who respect and trust and care for each other, and are selfless in their service to each other, and that’s what we have here and it’s wonderful.” Chope discussed how he’s gotten the opportunity to get to know Swanston and his wife Delinda over the last couple of years. “You want to talk about the word ‘hero’ and you look at somebody whose vision and whose passion for a quarter of a century has brought us into this room today, has brought many of you all into a greater world, into a greater life, into a bigger family … I am absolutely in awe of what you have helped build here … your vision and your love and your creativity and your passion are admirable … I am absolutely humbled and I’m proud.” For more information about CSS, visit www.css-online.org.

NEXCOM breaks ground for headquarters building expansion BY KRISTINE M. STURKIE NEXCOM Public Affairs The Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) held a groundbreaking ceremony Oct. 21, for a 33,000 sq. ft. addition to its headquarters building located in Virginia Beach. The $15 million nonappropriated fund construction project is scheduled to be completed in fall 2016. “When NEXCOM moved into its headquarters building in 1993, we had 380 associates,” said Robert J. Bianchi, NEXCOM’s chief executive officer.“Today, there are almost 1,000 NEXCOM associates in Hampton Roads and more than half work in our headquarters building.” The new addition allows NEXCOM to replace approximately 9,000 sq. ft. of aging trailers that have been in use for the last 10 years to create much needed conference and planogram rooms and address merchandising and information technology personnel space deficiencies. It also brings 125 NEXCOM associates from its Human Resources and Loss Prevention/Safety departments, as well as the Navy Lodge program into the headquarters building from other Hampton Roads office locations.
“This is the first step necessary in order to move our headquarters associates from leased space into Navy-owned space,” said Bianchi. “This new addition will help us consolidate and align key headquarter codes for even greater command efficiency.” Congressman Scott Rigell, a representative of Virginia’s 2nd district, praised NEXCOM for the work it does to support military members and their families. “I respect the great work you are doing and the quality of life you offer to your customers,” said Rigell.“As a businessman in a season of public service, I know that the quality of your surroundings affects the creativity and quality of work of your associates.This new building addition will definitely add to the quality of work you provide. I look forward to the opening of your new facility.” William Sessoms, Virginia Beach mayor, participated in the groundbreaking ceremony.“The work provided by NEXCOM is valued and appreciated by all military commands and especially military families,” said Sessoms. “Your dedication and commitment to service are truly unmatched. NEXCOM gives military members and their families shopping experiences and prices that are so competitive that you are

CSADD gives away cupcakes as a way to spread awareness STORY/PHOTO BY ADC (AW/SW) QUNITA TRIPLETT FRCMA Oceana Public Affairs The Fleet Readiness Center Mid-Atlantic Oceana (FRCMA) Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions (CSADD) organized a free cupcake event Oct. 3, to serve as a forum to discuss domestic violence and drug abuse prevention and awareness. CSADD members welcomed Sailors to share personal experiences and also took the opportunity to discuss the importance of bystander intervention. It also served as a forum for Sailors to learn about the CSADD organization, who they are, what they stand for and why their existence is important. The CSADD peer-to-peer mentorship program focuses on Sailors between the ages of 18 and 25-years-old. Their motto, “Shipmates helping Shipmates” is becoming very common among junior Sailors. The program promotes creative thinking and gives young Sailors the opportunity to help prevent their shipmates from making bad decisions. Aviation Structural Mechanic 3rd Class Doland Miller,
vice president of the FRCMA Oceana CSADD chapter, shared a very important message with Sailors who came out to the event. “So many Sailors feel as if there is no way out but there is a way out. The Navy has many programs that can offer help like DAPA, SAPR and suicide prevention to name a few. Suffering in silence is a big deal and we want all Sailors to know that they do not have to suffer. If we can save one Sailor then CSADD is worth the talk.” Each month CSADD covers a different topic to train on and discuss as a group. The manner in which the topic is trained is entirely up to the chapter. The CSADD program gives chapters the opportunity to do things their own way, in addition to thinking of creative ways to tackle the topics. Aviation Maintenance Administrationman 2nd Class (AW) Luvenia Evans, secretary of the FRCMA Oceana CSADD chapter, talked about their goal for the event. “Today we wanted to get as many people out to our event to spread the word on what we do.We also want to encourage Sailors to come out to our meetings and share their ideas and experiences.We can do so much more if

we work together as a team.” Evans and the FRCMA Oceana chapter have gone to great efforts to reach out to other CSADD chapters on ways to improve their program. “What these young Sailors are doing to help their shipmates is commendable and the leadership team at FRCMA applauds these efforts,”said FRCMA Executive Officer Capt. Keith Nixon.

Oceana Commissary helps raise awareness about breast cancer STORY/PHOTO BY MC3 TIMOTHY DAUGHTON NAS Oceana Public Affairs October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month and to raise awareness, NAS Oceana’s Commissary has been wearing pink and handing out information to its customers about breast cancer. “One in eight women will develop breast cancer during the course of their lifetime, so it is very important that we continue to create an environment where education is available to teach people how to better take care of themselves,� said Justina Mosley, health promotion coordinator for NAS Oceana Branch Health Clinic.“During the month of October, I try to place education materials in the community that our population of people will be able to access, encouraging them about the responsibility they have to take care of

Mosley, a registered nurse, started her career in clinical practice and for 15 years, she treated illnesses. Wanting another way to help people improve their quality of life, she decided to pursue a career in health education. Mosley shared the story about a client she had 15 years ago who was a professional drug company representative but had hesitations about doing her breast self-exam. “She met me in the parking lot and asked me to teach her how to do a breast exam, and I was amazed that this professional young woman had no one to teach her how to do a proper breast exam.

There are several people that currently work for the commissary who have been touched in one way or another by breast cancer.The store recently lost an employee who fought breast cancer for years. “The people that worked with her for a long period of time felt the loss very deeply.This is something we all come together and do and we all feel very strongly about,â€? said Leslie Carroll, NAS Oceana Commissary store administrator. “I think it is really important that we take this month to highlight the awareness, but I also think it is something that we need to be cognizant of year round.â€? Many companies like General Mills and Kellogg’s turn the packaging of their products pink in support of breast cancer awareness and throughout October, the commissary put those products on display as an eye-catcher to raise awareness to all of the commissary customers. Tanan Heins, a merchandiser for Acosta food service, has been working with the commissary since 1983. In 1999, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. “Self-exam is very important for a woman because I noticed a lump in my breast and immediately made an appointment.

All-Military Wilderness Challenge ends with two-time Navy champion STORY/PHOTO BY MARK PIGGOTT Naval Weapons Station Yorktown Public Affairs Officer The Naval Weapons Station (WPNSTA) Yorktown Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) Department final All-Military Wilderness Challenge ended with the Navy Team“Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead”winning backto-back titles Oct. 11.The extreme outdoor race came to an end after 13 years of competition among the armed services in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains in Minden,W.Va. Military personnel representing more than 30 teams from across the country competed for the title of the “Ultimate Extreme” Military Race Team through a series of five outdoor adventure races in a team format, including an 8K mountain run, a 12-mile mountain bike race, a 14mile hike through the mountains, a 13-mile whitewater raft race and a 7-mile kayak race; more than 52 miles travelled in two days. “The conditions and the challenges this year was probably the most challenging in my nine years of competing,” said Cmdr. Todd Gagnon, team captain of the two-time champions,Team Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead. Especially with the new course for the 8K run, ending on a one mile downhill to the river; that really changed the dynamic of this year’s challenge,” he continued.
“This was harder than before; a lot more mud on the mountain bike run and the hike especially,” said Lt. Kyle Ensley from Team “Slow Children Playing” representing the Coast Guard. Ensley is stationed at USCG Civil Engineering Unit, Providence, R.I.“It’s really cool that it’s a team effort with just the military.The whitewater rafting was a blast.” The race was designed to bring camaraderie, competition and team spirit between all five branches of the armed services. Teams were comprised of four active duty military, one of which must be female.Teams could also include active reservists, retirees and ROTC. “The All-Military Wilderness Challenge brought together the best athletes the armed forces had to offer and put them to the test,” said Michael Bond, event coordinator.“As the competition has gotten tougher over the years, so did the competitors, as more teams joined in to battle it out.” Since 2000, the All-Military Wilderness Challenge has tested the limits of human endurance as teams pushed themselves to finish the race.To the competitors, it’s not just about winning, it’s about the spirit of the competition. “We’ve all been really busy over the last decade with the high OPTEMPO and having an event like this where you can just relax for a second with other service members, swapping stories and just enjoy being in the military community,” Gagnon added. “Something that ties fitness to recreation like this, is really great to be a part of.”
PUMPKIN PATCH 5K Runners take-off at the starting line in front of the Flightline Fitness Center for NAS Oceana’s annual Pumpkin Patch 5K Oct. 16. The overall first place winner for males was Lt. Derek Dostie from Commander, Operational Test and Evaluation Force (COMOPTEVFOR) with a finishing time of 19:08. The overall first place female winner was Nadia Verbanac with a finishing time of 20:17. Photo by MC3 Timothy Daughton
CTI2 Rebekah Smith, (r), Cmdr. Todd Gagnon, Lt. Travis Dill and Cmdr. Andrew Cawlfield, members of “Team Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead,” representing the Navy, are awarded plaques by Rick Thompson (l), cabinet secretary for the West Virginia Department of Veterans Assistance, after winning the 2014 All-Military Wilderness Challenge Oct. 11.
Rick Thompson, cabinet secretary for the West Virginia Department of Veterans Assistance,was there to greet competitors as they crossed the finish line. He even presented the Wilderness Challenge“Challenge Coins”to some of the teams, including the Wounded Warrior Team “Lost in the Woods” from Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, as all the teams cheered them on as they finished the challenge. “I wanted to thank you for your service to our country and your commitment to our country,” Thompson said. “As a native West Virginian, I can appreciate the roughness of our wilderness. I might be able to hike 14 miles, ride a bike for a little bit and get into a raft; but to do all of it in 52 miles in two days, no way.” The top three teams were all familiar competitors to the Wilderness Challenge.Team Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead from the Navy took 1st place for the Navy and 1st place overall. Team “Ducky Fuzz and the Masters of Rubber” from the Coast Guard took 1st place for the Coast Guard and 2nd place overall.Team “Copper Collar” from the Navy took 2nd place for the Navy and 3rd place overall.Team “Dog and Pony Show” took 1st place for the Army and Team “Afit” took first place for the Air Force. The only team representing the U.S. Marine Corps was the Wounded Warrior team,“Lost in the Woods.” “The Wilderness Challenge will always be remembered as the ultimate test of strength, speed and endurance, both mental and physical,” Bond concluded.“That’s something the men and women of our military rely upon each and every day in defense of our nation.”
