Ballistic Missile Defense System succesfully conducts largest missile defense flight test in history U.S. MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (NNS) -The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) successfully conducted the largest, most complex missile defense flight test ever attempted Oct. 24. MDA, Soldiers from the 94th and 32nd Army Air and Missile Defense
Command (AAMDC); Sailors aboard USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62); and Airmen from the 613th Air and Space Operations Center conducted the test, resulting in the simultaneous engagement of five ballistic missile and cruise missile targets. An integrated air and ballistic missile defense architecture used mul-
tiple sensors and missile defense systems to engage multiple targets at the same time. All targets were successfully launched and initial indications are that the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system successfully intercepted its first medium-range ballistic target in history, and Patriot Advanced Capa-
bility-3 (PAC-3) simultaneously destroyed a short-range ballistic missile and a low flying cruise missile target over water. The live-fire demonstration, conducted at U.S.Army Kwajalein Atoll/ Reagan Test Site, Hickam Air Force — See Missile, Page 6

Chaplain’s
Corner
Voting a right and Responsibility BY LT. JOHN E. KELLY NAS Oceana Chaplain In just a little less than a week you and I will be going to the voting booths to once again vote for the person that we think will be the best choice for the President of the United States. We will also be voting for various candidates to represent us in villages, towns, cities, counties and states throughout our great nation. Not only is this our right as American citizens, it is also our moral obligation to determine who will best represent our values, our morals and our understanding of the issues. Each of us will base our choices on our life experiences and on our particular belief systems knowing that whoever we chose will be the person(s) that will represent us as individuals and as Americans. With that being said I would like you to keep two principles in mind as we approach the November 6th election. The first is that in order to make a good decision that will benefit the entire nation we, you and I, must have a well–formed conscience. Conscience is not the “freebie” it might initially seem to be. It’s not something that allows us to justify doing whatever we want, nor is it a mere feeling about what we should or should not do. Conscience has been, and is, called the “voice of God resounding in the human heart”; something that always requires us to make serious attempts at sound moral judgments. Being a faithful citizen requires a well-formed conscience, which is for everyone a necessary attribute that will enable us to make good moral and ethical choices in our private lives and public responsibilities. Developing and forming our conscience is an ongoing process aided by many things. For instance many people will rely upon their understanding of the issues, their well thought out principles, ethics and morals which have been acquired through education and life experiences. Others, like myself, will rely upon the same things but add to that Scripture, Church teaching, and prayer. The second principle is prudence. Prudence is the virtue that enables people to discern the right thing to do in specific, everyday circumstances and then act. Like a well-formed conscience, this comes with some caveats. — See Chaplain’s Corner, Page 9

Truman, CVW-3 sharpen warfighting skills BY MCSN TAYLOR DIMARTINO USS Harry S. Truman Public Affairs USS TRUMAN, At Sea (NNS) -- The aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) completed a 24-day underway Oct. 25 that tested the skills of every Sailor and Marine aboard. For the first time in almost two years, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 3 Sailors and Marines embarked Truman prior to Truman’s Oct. 2 underway to prepare for Harry S. Truman Strike Group’s upcoming deployment. Capt. Mike Wallace, CVW-3’s commander, said Truman’s underway gave the air wing an opportunity to test and improve various skills across each of its squadrons. Including a focus on the timeliness of launches and recoveries,Wallace said increased attention was placed on flight operations such as airborne refueling and individual unit-level training. “This is the first time the ship and air wing have operated together as a team since December 2010,” said Wallace.“This underway included a high number of cyclic operations. We were launching and recovering aircraft for 12 hours at a time, refining the pilots’ skills as they took off and landed on the carrier.” In total, CVW-3 pilots completed more than 1,300 launches and recoveries even as Truman Sailors and CVW-3 personnel participated in a multitude of ship-
board training scenarios, both on the flight deck and in the hangar bay. “The most noticeable part of our integration was that our Sailors and Marines were making flight operations look easy every time,” said Cmdr. Paul Crump,Truman’s air officer.“While working on the flight deck, there are so many variables, so many things that can happen, yet each launch and recovery was executed safely, quickly, and effectively.” Crump said the carrier’s underway consisted of seamless teamwork between Truman’s air department Sailors and CVW-3 as they conducted drills that simulated aircraft crashes and fires, barricade drills and mass casualty drills on the flight deck. “CVW-3 Sailors have been enthusiastic, motivated and willing partners in every way,” said Crump. “It’s great to see how far this team has come in only a single underway. As we moved on to more complicated operations, CVW-3 and air department Sailors were performing with practiced regularity.The flight deck and hangar bays have evolved to pro-active environments rather than reactive ones.” Wallace agreed, noting the professionalism every Sailor and Marine displayed while conducting air operations.

A Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptor missile is launched from Meck Island to intercept a ballistic missile target during a Missile Defense Agency integrated flight test.
Missile: Largest missile defense flight ever Continued from Page 1 Base,and surrounding areas in the western Pacific, stressed the performance of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD), THAAD, and Patriot weapon systems. An Extended Long Range Air Launch Target (E-LRALT) missile was air-dropped over the broad ocean area north of Wake Island from a U.S.Air Force C-17 aircraft, staged from Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. The AN/TPY-2 X-band radar, located with the THAAD system on Meck Island, tracked the E-LRALT and a THAAD interceptor successfully intercepted the medium-range ballistic missile. THAAD was operated by Soldiers from the 32nd AAMDC. Another short-range ballistic missile was launched from a mobile launch platform located in the broad ocean area northeast of Kwajalein Atoll. The Patriot system, manned by Soldiers of the 94th AAMDC, detected, tracked and successfully intercepted the target with a PAC-3
interceptor. USS Fitzgerald successfully engaged a low flying cruise missile over water.The Aegis system also tracked and launched an SM-3 Block 1A interceptor against a short-range ballistic missile. However, despite indication of a nominal flight of the SM-3 Block 1A interceptor, there was no indication of an intercept of the SRBM. FTI-01 was a combined developmental and operational test. Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen from multiple Combatant Commands operated the systems and were provided a unique opportunity to refine operational doctrine and tactics.Program officials continue to assess and evaluate system performance based upon telemetry and other data obtained during the test. Ballistic Missile Defense System programs have completed 56 successful hitto-kill intercepts in 71 flight test attempts since 2001.
Virginia Beach, Va. - Samaritan House of Virginia Beach held it’s 9th Annual DeFeet domestic violence 5k run/walk Oct. 21. The event took place on the Virginia Beach Oceanfront along the boardwalk. The organization partnered with active duty Navy members from Oceana to join the volunteer team for the event. The Samaritan House of Virginia Beach holds this event every year to raise funds and awareness for domestic violence and homelessness to better help those in need. The money raised by this event is used towards services for victims of domestic violence, help families who are homeless and maintain the eleven emergency shelters in the area.The event kicked off with a warm welcoming from the organization and a short children’s run.The volunteers helped out at various tents which included sign
making, face painting, and refreshments for runners. With October being domestic violence awareness month, a handful of Navy service members took this as an opportunity to further the awareness not only to the community but for our military family as well. “I wanted to be able to encourage others to speak out.” said Aviation Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class Petty Officer (AW) Kenya McCarty of Fleet Readiness Command, Oceana.“I had the free time on weekends so what better way to use my time wisely and help someone else.” As the day came to a close, the Samaritan House members expressed their gratitude to the Navy volunteers and for their support. “This is an issue and the awareness needs to be spread out in order to better help those in need.” saidAviation Machinist’s Mate Petty Officer 2nd Class (A/W) Pedro Gaytan also from Fleet Readiness Command, Oceana. The 5k run concluded at about 2:30 p.m. that afternoon after various awards were passed out to the runners, highest donating sponsor representative and best costume.

Celebrating cultural diversity Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana observes Hispanic Heritage month BY MC3 ANTONIO P. TURRETTO RAMOS NAS Oceana Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. - (Oct. 10,2012) - Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana celebrates diversity in our Navy by observing Hispanic Heritage month during a presentation held at the Chapel of the Good Shepherd Oct. 10. National Hispanic heritage month is from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15.The day of Sept. 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on Sept. 16 and Sept. 18, respectively. Also, Columbus Day or Día de la Raza, which is Oct. 12, falls within this 30-day period, according to the observances website, http://hispanicheritagemonth.gov. “We value all people and at this time we rightly celebrate the positive impact and richness of the Hispanic Latino culture and the influence of their heritage,” said Chaplain Paul Greer, NAS Oceana Chaplain. “Today we’re here to celebrate the Latino influence that has been made through history in today’s Navy and continue to make history which strengthens our nation,” said Chief Aviation Boatswain’s Mate-Handling (AW/SW) Geraldine Lopez, quarterdeck staff LCPO. A presentation highlighting the achievements of Hispanic Latino Americans was displayed for those in attendance. “The national theme for this year is ‘diversity united, building America’s future today,’ celebrating the generations of Hispanic Americans who have influenced and enriched our nation,” said Information Systems Special-

ist 2nd Class (AW) Donald Huet reading the Chief of Naval Operation’s message during the observance. “The strength of our Navy and nation is derived from the diversity of our people and hispanic Sailors play a critical role in our Navy.Today nearly 50,000 hispanic Sailors and officers serve in the United States Navy, participating in every facet of naval operations. Four hispanic admirals and 172 hispanic master chiefs lead our Navy from the front, providing unique perspectives and experiences that enhance our culture and improve our mission readiness.” According to guest speaker at the observance Jaime Barón, admissions representative at Bryan & Stratton College, the 2010 U.S. census revealed that about one in six Americans identify themselves as hispanic, making the hispanic demographic the fastest growing segment of the population currently an estimated 50 million people. “Culture, we are here today celebrating it,” said Barón. Barón stressed the need and responsibly we have to our children as a diverse population to pass on our native cultures in order to continue to sustain our native heritage. “It’s very important to know where you come from because it’s going to be a reflection of where you’re going, especially with culture,” said Barón.“What are we going to teach them [our children] that they are going to teach their kids? The values, the ethics and principles, all those things are instilled in the culture. These are the things that really tie us together. It’s like the mortar in between the bricks of our live’s that make us who we are.” The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30Photo by MC3 Antonio P.

Military Appreciation Day held at Norfolk Zoo BY MC3 JARED E. WALKER Navy Public Affairs Support Element East NORFOLK, Va. - Service members and their families spent the day at the 10th Annual Military Appreciation Day at the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk Oct. 14. The event was hosted by the United Service Organizations (USO) of Hampton Roads Central Virginia and sponsored by Dominion Virginia Power’ who provided free admission for military personnel and their families. “It’s nice to see people acknowledging the hard work that the military performs,” said Machinist’s Mate 2nd class Daniel G. Phillips, assigned to USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71). I am originally from Colorado and I never saw an event like military appreciation day when I was back home.” Navy spouse Anamarie Quejado expressed that the event was special because she could see the appreciation the local area has for the military. “Today is important to me because it shows the support that my spouse and oth-
er spouses serving in the military have. Our spouses work hard and put their lives on the line,” said Quejado. Karen Licari, Chief Operation Officer for USO Hampton Roads and Central Virginia, said enhancing the quality of life for military members and their families is the USO’s mission,and they are doing their part when they can to make the lives of services members and their families better. Last year’s appreciation day hosted as many as 10,000 service members and their dependents visiting the zoo. Some features during this year’s event, were children’s games, inflatable rides, face painting, clowns and military displays such as a dive tank and military construction equipment. “I love working for the USO.” said Licari. “Part of the reward is seeing the kid’s smiles during this and all the activities the USO holds. These events are a chance for military members and their kids to get out have a good time together.”

Chaplain: Voting priciples Continued from Page 3 For example, all of us will agree that that there are morally unacceptable ways of pursuing goals in our lives as individuals and as a nation and that the ends, whether they are good or bad, do not justify the means by which we attain those goals. There are different ways to respond to various social concerns and none of us are excused from helping to build a more just and peaceful world. In the end our elected officials are put into their positions by our choices which are based upon a well-formed conscience
and a prudent understanding of the issues, concerns, and problems that we face as citizens and a nation. No one person or group can dictate to us who we should or should not vote for, nor should we allow them to even try. All we need to understand is that every one of our votes count and will have consequences for each of us, our nation and the world. As citizens of the United States and of the world, our responsibility is to help build a more just and peace world. So, don’t forget to vote on Nov. 6 2012.

In An Uncertain World Navy needs science and technology collaboration BY DAVID SMALLEY Office of Naval Research ARLINGTON, VA (NNS) -- The chief of naval research told a packed house at an Office of Naval Research (ONR) event this week that he intends to bring officials from the Navy, Marine Corps, industry and academia together on a quarterly basis, starting in 2013, to accelerate S&T efforts for the warfighter. “We do this conference every two years, which is phenomenal and very valuable-and probably not enough,”said Rear Adm. Matthew Klunder, the chief of naval research, at the 2012 ONR Naval S&T Partnership Conference and ASNE Expo.“We’re going to start providing a more helpful regular drumbeat. Every quarter, ONR is going to have a focused working forum with our industry and academic partners.” Klunder stressed the new meetings will be informal, intended to share ideas and concerns within the naval S&T community. “This will not be a conference,” he said. “I’m talking bagels and coffee, and a few hours of shared time. Just a functional forum.” He emphasized the importance of collaboration in the successful development of new naval technologies, and their transition to the warfighter. The conference where he announced the new approach is itself a biennial event bringing together top military, scientific, industry and academic experts in matters related to science and technology and defense. More than 1,500 stakeholders attended the event this year. Klunder’s keynote delivered an overview of ONR’s missions and challenges, with updates on the focus areas of the Navy’s S&T Strategic Plan.Those areas include: autonomy and unmanned systems; assured access to maritime battlespace; information dominance; platform design and survivability; power and energy; strike and integrated defense; warfighter performance; total ownership cost; and expeditionary and irregular warfare. “We do look at developing leap-ahead, very cutting-edge

Klunder, Chief of Naval Research, speaks at the conclusion of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) 2012 Science and Technology Partnership Conference. opportunities, technologies that are 10-plus years away,” he said. “But we’re also looking at technology opportunities that will be complete in the next year or two, or three-to-five years.” In both cases, he said, the warfighter, and the taxpayer, will be best served by innovative, collaborative solutions from partnerships, drawing on strengths from industry, academia and the Navy and Marine Corps. The need for successful S&T solutions is particularly acute in the context of global developments, he said, listing problems from proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and terrorist elements to climate change and budget pressures. As the Department of the Navy’s science, engineering, mathematics and technology (STEM) executive, Klunder closed his address by encouraging efforts to increase par-
ticipation by young people in the fields of STEM-with the goal of nurturing future scientists. “I implore you,” he told the audience,“do not let a child come home from school and say that math or science isn’t cool-we owe it to our nation’s future.” ONR is the Navy’s lead organization for STEM outreach. ONR provides the science and technology necessary to maintain the Navy and Marine Corps’ technological advantage. Through its affiliates, ONR is a leader in science and technology with engagement in 50 states, 30 countries, 1,035 institutions of higher learning and more than 900 industry partners. ONR employs approximately 1,065 people, comprising uniformed, civilian and contract personnel, with additional employees at the Naval Research Lab in Washington, D.C.

Virginia Beach, Va. – Hurricane Sandy did not directly hit the Virginia Beach aarea, but the effects can be seen from the heavy rainfall and high tides that surged over the course of two days, Oct. 28 - 29. The Sailors of 1st Lieutenant at NavalAir Station (NAS) Oceana Dam NeckAnnex had h prepared sandbags months before Hurricane Sandy in preparation for hurricane season. Hundreds of sandbags stored on pallets were moved by fork lift and transporrted by truck to various tenant commands aboard Dam Neck Annex where Sailors m made preparations for the approaching storm Oct. 26. Essential personnel made their way to report for duty Oct. 29 sometimes trudg ging
through calf deep water to do so. NAS Oceana and Dam Neck Annex endured mostly flooding in the streets and a couple of downed trees from the high winds and saturated ground. Clean up efforts were ongoing after the weather settled down at the two bases. Sandy continued up the coast Oct. 29 before making a left turn back into the United States, making landfall near Atlantic City, N.J. Monday evening. New Jersey, New York and Connecticut suffered major damage from this “perfect storm.” Hurricane Sandy joined forces with a nor’easter to create the monster storm that devastated the midAtlantic and Northeast region of the United States.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA. (NNS) -- The Navy christened its newest submarine, the future USS Minnesota (SSN 783), Oct. 27, at Huntington Ingalls Industries - Newport News in Newport News,Va. Minnesota’s sponsor, Ellen Roughead, broke a ceremonial bottle of sparkling wine against the submarine’s hull, officially naming the ship. Roughead, the wife of former Chief of Naval Operations Adm. (Ret.) Gary Roughead, has been a tireless supporter of military families and continuing education initiatives for Navy spouses. “We were honored to have Mrs. Roughead participate in such an important milestone for PCU (pre-commissioning unit) Minnesota,” said Capt. David Goggins, Virginia class program manager.“The Virginia class is an outstanding platform and Minnesota builds on the stellar reputation of quality and success that the class is known for.” Minnesota is the 10th ship of the Virginia class and the last under the second, or block II, contract.The submarine is on track to deliver to the Navy in late spring 2013, ahead of its April 2014 contract delivery date.The ship will
be commissioned shortly thereafter. “When Minnesota delivers next year, every block II boat will have delivered early to its contract delivery date,” said Rear Adm. Dave Johnson, program executive officer for submarines. “Added together, the shipbuilders delivered these submarines 42 months early and Minnesota is well on track to push that number into the 50s.” Minnesota’s christening marks the final major milestone for the Virginia class in 2012. In May, the Navy took delivery of USS Mississippi (SSN 782) nearly a year early to its contract delivery date. Mississippi was commissioned on June 2. The Navy also began construction on PCU Colorado (SSN 788) and PCU Indiana (SSN 789) on March 2 and Sept. 2 respectively. Additionally, the Navy released the request for proposals for the block IV construction contract on Sept. 5. Virginia class submarines are designed to dominate the world’s littoral and deep waters while conducting anti-submarine warfare; anti-surface ship warfare; strike warfare; special operation forces support; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; irregular warfare; and mine warfare missions. Their inherent stealth, endurance, mobility, and firepower directly enable them to support five of the six maritime strategy core capabilities - sea control, power projection, forward presence, maritime security, and deterrence.

Panetta: Nation faces ‘dangerous and unpredictable’ world BY CLAUDETTE ROULO American Forces Press Service NORFOLK,VA. -- The Hampton Roads area of Virginia has played a vital role in the history of the United States, and of the military in particular, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta said in remarks to members of the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce, Oct. 19. Since the Civil War and the first battle between two ironclad ships, the area has been on the leading edge of American military innovation,with its shipyards serving as the backbone of American naval power, Panetta said, noting that the broad challenges now faced by the military also face the Hampton Roads region. The defense secretary said that after a decade of war,the U.S. is at a strategic turning point. Congressionally mandated budget cuts come at a time when the nation still faces a dangerous and unpredictable world. “I am not one who believes that you have to choose between fiscal security and national security,” he said, noting that violent extremism, weapons proliferation, international instability and the rise of new powers across Asia are just some of the challenges facing the country. “And now we confront a whole new threat of warfare in cyber [space],” said Panetta.“I think this is an area we have got to pay close attention to.This is the battlefront of the future. As I speak, there are cyberattacks going on in this country.” “And now they’re developing the capability to be able to go after our grid - our power grid, our financial systems, our government systems - and virtually paralyze this country,” he added.“We are confronting a series of threats to our national security. I’ve got to do everything I can to make sure we protect this country.” To address those challenges while meeting America’s fiscal responsibilities, Panetta said the Defense Department undertook a review of the defense strategy.As part of that review, it established new defense priorities and focused on designing a force that would carry the U.S. into the future. Panetta highlighted the five elements of the new defense strategy: a smaller, more agile force; a rebalance to the Asia-Pacific and Middle East; building international partnerships and alliances; ensuring the nation can confront and defeat aggression, even when it occurs on multiple fronts; and making key investments in defense technologies and capabilities. As part of that strategy, the defense secretary said,“We will continue to invest in the unique capabilities and the military and industrial facilities like those in Hampton Roads. I also want to maintain our industrial base.” For example, despite budget pressures, the Defense Department elected to retain the Navy’s full fleet of aircraft carriers. — See Panetta, Page 17

Continued from page 3 “This has given us the chance to practice critical skills that we will have to demonstrate during actual missions while on deployment,” said Wallace.“It’s all about refining our proficiencies. We can’t build upon the complexity of our mission execution until we have a solid foundation.” According to Wallace, the foundation could not have been built without the help of every Sailor and Marine aboard Truman. “I could not be happier with the team
we have built within Harry S.Truman Strike group,”said Wallace.“We tell ourselves every day how blessed we are to have great people who get along and work hard together and truly understand that it’s a team sport.” After disembarking, CVW-3 is scheduled to conduct advanced tactical training in Fallon, Nev., until mid-December. Truman is scheduled to continue training in preparation for an upcoming composite training unit exercise.
Panetta: U.S. at strategic turning point Continued from page 15 “Similarly, we are investing in the Virginia-class submarine and upgrading this important capability for the future,” he said. Adding, “And finally, we are investing in the cutting-edge unmanned systems and cyber warfare capabilities that are so important in our mission at Langley Air Force Base,” he said.“This community has strongly positioned itself to help us
achieve our strategy. But ... we are jeopardized if Congress does not act to prevent sequester from taking effect in January.” Panetta emphasized that the additional cuts would be devastating to the nation’s defense. “There’s still time to prevent sequestration,” he said. “Let me be clear, no one wants this to happen ... but, for God’s sake, don’t just kick this can down the road.”

Arlington Sailor Named the Military Citizen of the Year BY MC3 (SW/AW) DESIREE D. GREEN Navy Public Affairs Support Element East NORFOLK, VA. - The Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce honored a Sailor as the Military Citizen of the Year during a luncheon held at the Norfolk Waterside Marriott, Oct. 13. Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Eric Brown stationed on board PCU Arlington (LPD 24) was chosen as this year’s honoree for his dedication and organization of volunteer work for the United Service Organizations (USO) located in the Norfolk International Airport. “I’m honored,”said Brown upon receiving the award.“I’m also very happy to be here representing the Arlington.This was a win not only for myself but also all of their hard work. I’ve never been to a command where people volunteer the way they do here.” “He was a volunteer there already when I came on as the center director,” said Amber McKinney.“He welcomed me in and we began discussing our visions and goals to better serve the military in our facility.There is nothing more heartbreaking than seeing Sailors and Marines sleeping on bags and waiting. He motivated and trained Sailors to come out and volunteer their time.” Many volunteers would stand 12 hour watches in order to keep the facility open for military personnel, McKinney added. “Community service is the primary way we interact with our environment and the way we embrace our neighbors,” said Brown. In 2011, Brown volunteered more than 250 hours with the USO and Central Virginia’s Center alone. He also dedicated hundreds of volunteer hours to other outreach programs in the Hampton Roads community such as Habitat for Humanity and served as a tour guide for the Hampton Roads Naval Museum. “I am very excited,” said McKinney. “It’s like watching your child win the spelling bee. He has been huge in helping the military to include training his people. It’s an honor

I found out about the program through him and I’ve been doing it ever since. I’m there every Monday and he’s always there to help.” There were 29 nominations for the award that is named in honor of Samuel T. Northern, a local businessman who
devoted most of his life to strengthening the relationship between the local community and the military. “It is a difficult task to select a winner from those who have dedicated time and sometimes their own money,”said Ms. J.C. Kriedel, Immediate Past Chair of the Armed Forces Committee.“These fine young men and women have raised hundreds and thousands of dollars and inspired others to do the same.” The event featured keynote speaker, Retired Rear Adm. Byron Tobin,The Honorable Paul Fraim, Mayor of the city of Norfolk and a bell ringing ceremony to commemorate the 237th birthday of the Navy.
Strike Fighter Squadron VFA-83 Wins Top Hook Award PROVIDED BY VFA-83 Sailors and Aircrew from Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 83 “Rampagers” have accomplished several milestones while deployed aboard aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. VFA-83 was awarded the Top Hook Award for the first line period of 1350 arrested landings, earning a 3.522 GPA, the highest among all of CVW-7, with an outstanding boarding rate of 96.4%. In addition to the team performance by squadron pilots and LSOs that led to theTop Hook Award,VFA-83 maintainers were recognized for their superb aircraft support as the squadron was awarded the 2012 Chief of Naval Avia-
tion “Golden Wrench”Award for maintenance excellence for the second year in a row. “Our maintenance team continues to demonstrate outstanding technical skill and solid effort to keep these aircraft up and available for operations,” said Ens. Mike Harper, Maintenance Material Control Officer for VFA-83. Also, while on deployment,VFA-83 had the opportunity to participate in Operation Eagle Arena, which partnered CVW-7 aircrew with Egyptian Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcons out of Gianaclis Air Base, near Cairo, Egypt. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, validating our skills while solidifying relations with an international partner,” said Lt. Craig Searles of the operation with the Egyptian Air Force. VFA-83 is still deployed and not expected to return until next year.

CVW-7 Participates In Eagle Arena 2012 With Egyptian Air Force BY LT. BRANDON RODGERS Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 143 JIANIKLIS, Egypt (Sept. 11, 2012) – U.S. Navy Sailors from several squadrons assigned to Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7 participated in a 10-day exercise alongside the Egyptian Air Force (EAF) in Eagle Arena 2012, from Aug. 31-Sept.10. The 10-day exercise provided an opportunity to increase interoperability and combined proficiency in a number of air-based capabilities while also enhancing U.S.-Egyptian relations. Participating squadrons included the “Pukin Dogs” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 143, the “Jolly Rogers” of VFA-103, the “Rampagers”ofVFA-83,and“Wildcats”ofVFA131. Led by Cmdr.Bobby Markovich,commanding officer of VFA-83, two F/A-18C Hornets, two F/A-18E and two F/A-18F Super Hornets arrived in Egypt,Aug.31 and were welcomed by the EAF’s 272nd Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW),located at Jianiklis Air Base. CVW-7 maintenance personnel set up shop in spaces provided by their hosts, and aircrew attended academic sessions with the EAF on the first day. Presentations on the capabilities of the EAF and CVW-7 aircraft, organizational structures, training pipelines and close air support set the stage for the exercise. Prior to starting the exercise, it was important for the EAF and CVW-7 aircrew to have a common understanding of standard operating procedures. Despite language and terminology barriers, the EAF successfully explained their standard procedures for briefing and debriefing, entering working areas and operating within the aerodrome. With familiarization complete, Mirage V’s, Alpha jets, and Fighting Falcons from nearby bases participated in section engaged maneuvering and Forward Air Controller (Airborne) close air support events. Taking a crawl-walk-run approach, the operational phase of the exercise included
air intercepts, close air support and large force sorties. Mixed sections and divisions of Hornets, Super Hornets, and F-16 Fighting Falcons from the EAF 75th Fighter Squadron executed standard tactics, while remaining safe and predictable, during the air intercept phase. During a break from the action, Sailors enjoyed two cultural days in the city of Cairo, located two hours south of the base. Sailors visited some mainstays of Egyptian culture, starting with the Egyptian History Museum, where they marveled at artifacts from ancient Egypt,the furniture of the Pharaohs and the process and products of mummification. After a brief hike to the Great Pyramids of Giza and a drive to the Sphinx, Sailors spent three hours shopping for souvenirs, observing the making of papyrus and purchasing perfumes unique to Egypt. Evenings during the exercise featured soccer, table tennis and volleyball games with the EAF pilots and maintainers. During these social interactions, people shared stories of life and family, learning about one another’s culture and ways of thinking. The exercise culminated with two integrated large-force events. Conducting joint air defense, eight aircraft took to the skies to test their ability to coordinate and execute pre-briefed tactics. Meanwhile, eight opposing aircraft challenged these tactics by conducting a large-force strike, attempting to infiltrate and disrupt the lines of defenders. With 100 percent sortie completion, the exercise was a huge success. Patches were exchanged, cake was consumed and aircrew discussed ideas for the next Eagle Arena. In the end, the Navy aircrew discovered that the pilots of the EAF, though culturally and geographically distinct from themselves, are very similar in terms of goals, ambition, and their love of country and aviation. Both countries’ squadrons exemplify the fighter spirit by being the best they can be for the sake of their squadron, their people and their country. U.S. Navy photo/Released
