WFF: Provides Navy ability to VAW-112 hosts Carrier Strike Group 3 for ADEX LT. J.G. BRIAN SEYMOUR relieve some capacity issues BYVAW-112 Public Affairs — Continued from page 1 of FLCPs.The display consisted of a video showing the importance of FCLPs, an E-2/C-2 vertical stabilizer painted with specifications on the E-2 and C-2 aircraft, an actual propeller blade from an E-2/C-2, and a mannequin dressed in safety equipment that E-2/C-2 pilots wear during flight. Deputy Commander U.S. Fleet Forces Command Vice Adm. NoraTyson explained that the E-2 and C-2 turbo prop aircraft will be the only Navy aircraft using the Wallops Flight Facility for FCLPS when she spoke at the ceremony, where she said that everyone involved benefits from the Navy conducting FCLP’s at Wallops Flight Facility. “We also consider this agreement not just a good thing for the Navy, but also for NASA and the community surrounding this facility,” said Tyson This initiative has economic benefits to the region. In addition to the recently-completed construction, the Navy will pay for expanded service requirements at the airfield to support FCLP, and also provide NASA direct payment for airfield use.Additionally, the ability to conduct two-week detachments will result in the requirement to obtain messing, berthing and transportation services on the civilian economy. “Now that the Navy is adding things such as the touch and go landings, it certainly is, I believe, going to be a big economic impact,”said Jack Gray with the Accomack County Board of Supervisors.

The U.S. Navy and NASA conducted a joint ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday, Nov. 4, to mark the offical opening of Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) to field carrier landing practice (FCLP) for Navy E-2 Hawkeye and C-2 Greyhound aircraft. These twin engine turboprop aircraft will conduct up to 20,000 passes annually at Wallops Flight Facility.

Norfolk clinic: A leader in tobacco cessation efforts BY DEBORAH R. KALLGREN Naval Medical Center Public Affairs Officer PORTSMOUTH,Va. (NNS) -- Naval Health Clinic Naval Station Norfolk shared its success in helping patients become tobacco free in a webinar Oct. 25. Representing the clinic on the webinar was Peg Smith, Health Promotions nurse educator. Since joining the Norfolk clinic in 2006, it has been her passion to make it easier for Sailors,their families and retirees to quit tobacco. “In our tobacco program, we teach people that they are not ‘quitting tobacco or giving something up,’” Smith said.“Instead, we teach them that they are just taking back what they willingly gave away to a pack of cigarettes or a can of dip: Power, choice and control over their health, finances and their future.” After arriving at the clinic, Smith researched the needs of tobacco users wanting to quit and why so many had trouble
completing the classes. The feedback pointed Smith and the team to make the process easier and more Navy-friendly.The clinic, part of Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, serves thousands of Sailors on the Norfolk waterfront, who often were unable to complete the four tobacco cessation classes due to fleet and other obligations. In 2007, the multiple tobacco cessation classes were condensed into one four-hour class, leading to 100 percent course-completion rates.This allowed Sailors to attend and complete a tobacco program in one appointment. The course “must meet the needs of operational Navy,” Smith said. Providers are available after the tobacco workshop to write prescriptions for those who are eligible.Patients no longer have to come back or make an additional appointment to receive medications to help them quit tobacco. In addition,after taking the class,patients receive one email a month for six months asking how they are doing and offering en-
to take care of our veterans, and we have a sacred trust to take care of those who currently wear the uniform ensuring they know we will take care of them and their families,” Smith said. “We simply find and remove barriers to care, meet our patients more than halfway and treat every patient with respect. We don’t know what road they are on, how long they have been on it or what mountains stand between them and success or peace. “When they realize they can quit tobacco, they succeed.And when they succeed we create a stronger, healthier, tobaccofree military.” Approximately 20 commands across Navy Medicine joined the webinar to get ideas on how to develop their own programs and get ideas from the most innovative programs. The webinar was produced by the Navy-Marine Corps Public Health Center in Portsmouth,Va., and also highlighted Great American Smokeout activities at Naval Health Clinic Cherry Point, N.C., and Naval Hospital Bremerton,Wash.
couragement to remain tobacco-free. “It’s a coordinated effort with many moving parts,” Smith said. That attention to detail and understanding of their patients’ needs have paid off with higher rates of success.The addition of a twice-a-week open/walk-in tobacco cessation medication clinic for refills also helps the patients keep on track. At the Norfolk clinic, nearly 30 percent of those who took the tobacco cessation class in 2012 remained tobacco free for six months. Smith presented the data to the webinar audience and answered questions about the road to their success.The clinic’s innovative approach has not gone unnoticed:In addition to being chosen to present their experience during the webinar, the clinic has been recognized as a ‘Best Practice’ by the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, and has been selected by the Partnership for Prevention for inclusion in their book highlighting the most successful military efforts to curb tobacco use. “We have the indebted responsibility

Sunliners complete air-to-air SFARP BY LT. J.G. JUSTIN WILEY VFA-81 Public Affairs Officer The “Sunliners” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 81 are home in Virginia Beach after a two-week detachment to NAS Key West, Fla.As the first step in their pre-deployment work-up cycle,VFA-81 completed the air-to-air portion of the Strike Fighter Advanced Readiness Program (SFARP) from Sept. 28 to Oct. 10. The squadron was joined in Key West by instructors from Strike Fighter Weapons School Atlantic (SFWSL), the “Fighting Omars” of Fighter Squadron Composite (VFC) 12,the“River Rattlers” of VFA-204,and the“Sundowners”of VFC-111. The Sunliners took full advantage of the excellent training opportunities afforded by operating out of Key West. The vast offshore ranges, clear weather, and wide variety of adversary support allowed VFA-81 to fly several different types of missions, utilizing a broad spectrum of tactics. Squadron pilots had the chance to fight against F/A-18 Hornets and Super Hornets and F-5Tigers in scenarios simulating real-world air threats. Meanwhile, the maintenance and ordnance shops gained valuable training and passed multiple evaluations in the loading and handling of air-to-air weapons. This training set the foundation for further integrated air wing

Over the course of two weeks, Sunliner and weapons school pilots flew 155 air-to-air training sorties for a total of 191.4 flight hours. The
80-strong maintenance team worked to support eight aircraft and accomplished a 100 percent SFARP sortie completion rate. As VFA-81 returns to NAS Oceana, they begin the next phase of deployment preparation by integrating air-to-ground tactics into their recently honed air-to-air skills.

Apprenticeship trade for MWD handlers on the horizon BY DARRYL ORRELL Center for Security Forces Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH,Va. (NNS) -- The Center for Security Forces (CENSECFOR) announced Nov. 1, the anticipated release of the first apprenticeship trade for Military Working Dog (MWD) handlers by year's end. The proposed apprenticeship is currently under review by the Department of Labor (DoL), which is the final step in the approval process. Once approved, Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsman will then be able to enroll and work towards earning this unique and specialized certification. "This new apprenticeship will apply to personnel performing security and law enforcement duties that work with a MWD. Some of the duties a MWD handler performs include patrol, crowd control, security operations, and explosive and drug detection and of course, suspect apprehension," said CENSECFOR Master-at-Arms (MA) Programs manager, Jose Bautista.

Pre-registration credits will be given to personnel who have graduated MA "A" school and/or earned the Navy classification code for Dog Handler and Kennel Master.All of which would count towards the proposed 2,500 hours of practical experience needed to complete the apprenticeship. "Those who take advantage of these credentialing opportunities will not only enhance their military career and be set apart from their peers; they will also enhance their marketing potential in the civilian workforce when their military service is complete," said Bautista. Sailor's serving in the MA rating can select from eight available apprenticeship trades that include Police Officer I, Security Specialist, Protective Security Specialist, Master Homeland Security Specialist,Armory Technician, Corrections Officer and on the horizon,Working Dog Handler.

Drill: Training benefits civilian, Navy first responders — Continued from page 1 firefighter Josh Creamer. “The problems that occurred during that plane crash are things we encounter here, so we try to work through it and remember the lessons learned.” Civilian first responders were not the only ones to benefit from the training. “There’s no one in the Navy that isn’t focused on training,” said Chope.“It’s important in this era of constrained resources that we continue the types of training that we need to have to keep us sharp and ready to respond to any contingency. It’s critically important.” Due to the heavy concentration of Navy installations in the Hampton Roads area, resources from across the area were invited to take part in the training evolution. “It’s always a benefit when we’re able to bring multiple resources together,” said Battalion Chief Amy Valdez of the Virginia Beach Fire Department. “On a day-to-day basis we’re kind of separated, but we know that in the event of a large-scale event of this nature, we’re going to have to work together. For Chope, it is vital for the Navy to reach out and show solidarity with the Hampton Roads community. “It’s important for our young Sailors, and even older Sailors like me, to see and recognize the commitment we have to those who live,work and play in this community,” said Chope.“I’m very proud of this team and our relationships with all of the Hampton Roads area and we look forward to continuing this kind of exercise to hone our capabilities in the field.”

On Sep. 19 the Tomcatters of VFA-31 left Virginia Beach for a month- long detachment to NAS Fallon to take on Air Wing Fallon.Air Wing Fallon is a crucial part of the work up cycle for VFA-31’s upcoming deployment, focusing on integrating all of Carrier Air Wing Eight’s assets to plan and execute large force strikes.The Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center presented Team Felix and the rest of CVW-8 with challenging and realistic scenarios that served to hone and fine tune the skills necessary to fight and win our nation’s wars. The performance of Team Felix was not a sole test of the combat lethality of the Tomcatter pilots; it was an end-to-end evaluation of the entire squadron’s ability to provide mission ready aircraft, execute complicated missions, and to perform at a higher level with each new day. In addition to the demands of Air Wing Fallon, Felix’s aircrew worked towards attaining new qualifications as Combat Strike Leads, Division Leads, and Section Leads. Felix maintainers consistently provided fully mission capable aircraft and tirelessly pursued new qualifications, such as collateral duty inspector, plane captain, move director, and brake rider. In addition to the rewards that are inherent with completing the demanding mission sets of Air Wing Fallon,VFA-31 was presented with CVW8’s “Golden Wrench” award in recognition of the stellar performance of the Tomcatter Maintenance Department.With the lessons learned and successes of another detachment to NAS Fallon in the rear view mirror,Team Felix is ready to take on the next challenge, a month-long underway onboard the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77).

Oceana and CSS hosts annual Source America luncheon BY MCSN JUSTIN R. DINIRO Navy Public Affairs Support Element East Employees with disabilities from SourceAmerica and their family members were honored at an appreciation luncheon Oct. 30, at NAS Oceana’s Hornet’s Nest Galley. Chesapeake Service Systems (CSS) and NAS Oceana hosted the sixth annual luncheon to thank their employees with disabilities for their hard work and great service in the galley. “When I come to work, I feel loved,” said Bill Glenn, Source America employee at NAS Oceana’s Hornets Nest Galley.” I love coming to work, I love it here.” “They provided such great service,working so hard to keep the galley clean and making sure our military is happy,” said Chief Warrant Officer Eleithia Castro, Oceana’s Food Service Officer. “These aren’t disabled workers; they’re our ability workers.We want them to know how much they are appreciated.” Ed Ruling began the SourceAmerica luncheon at Dam Neck Annex. Source America and Chesa-
peake Service Systems worked together during disability week to hire disabled persons for jobs, which led to the development of National Disability Employment Awareness Month honoring the disabled individuals in our nation. “What really makes us appreciate working here is the leadership and the teamwork we get to experience,” said Jasper Joyner,CSS employee. “We love the companionship that coming to work every day builds.” Coleman and Joyner have each worked with SourceAmerica and CSS in the Hornets Nest Galley for two years.According to them,they have a lot of fun every day. “We were awarded ribbons this year and it was really nice of them,” said Edward Coleman, CSS employee.“Last year we were given certificates signed by the Navy, which was a great feeling.” “The individuals here work so close to our military everyday, they support our heroes,” said Tom Swanston, chief executive officer of CSS.“I look around the room and I see heroes in themPhoto by MC3 Harry Andrew D.

Chaplain Corps hones pastoral care capabilities in cases of sexual assault BY CHRISTIANNE M. WITTEN Chief of Chaplains Public Affairs WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Navy chaplains and religious program specialists met with Chaplain Corps leadership for a professional development training course validation at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Oct. 29-31. The training, hosted by the Naval Chaplaincy School and Center, focused on pastoral care for sexual assault victims with a particular emphasis on confidentiality and the role chaplains play in the healing and recovery process. While chaplains already receive training in sexual assault reporting procedures, this year's training will represent "the first time the Chaplain Corps has focused on specialized training in pastoral care for sexual assault victims," said Lt. Cmdr. David Thames, a Navy chaplain and deputy executive assistant to the chief of Navy chaplains, who helped coordinate the training. The purpose of the multi-day validation was to fine-tune the training course before it is rolled out next January across the Chaplain Corps worldwide. "Sexual assault in our military is a critical issue that can have a devastating impact on our people and the command.As chaplains
and religious program specialists,we are in the unique position of being first responders when these critical situations arise," said Chief of Chaplains Rear Adm. Mark L. Tidd during his opening remarks."The role we play in helping victims and the accused is crucial to the healing and recovery process for the individual service members, their units and their families," Tidd added. "Our people have the right and privilege to confidential communications with us,as chaplains. This complete confidentiality is a critical resource for those we serve and our leaders, since it is this confidentiality that encourages victims to take the steps to become survivors who regain a sense of wholeness and hope in times of deepest human need.We must do all we can to uphold and protect this sacred trust placed in us," Tidd said. Teresa Scalzo, deputy director for the office of the judge advocate general corps' trial counsel assistance program, was among the subject matters experts in attendance to address how religious ministry teams can support victims as they navigate the legal process. "Chaplains are truly partners in the justice process. Very often we forget that there are two important goals in military justice: one is victim health and wholeness
and the other is offender accountability," said Scalzo. "We are far more likely to achieve both goals if we seek both goals. In other words, if we are able to support a victim and help a victim heal, they are far more likely to want to cooperate in the process, to testify, to be able to get through the stresses and trauma of the military justice system. The chaplain can help the victim by empowering and supporting the victim, recognizing the pressure points in the process, and providing pastoral care to help the victim get through those trying times," she added. When asked about the complete confidentiality one can have with the chaplain, Scalzo went on to say, "confidentiality, in the context of the chaplain, is a privilege. The chaplain is the one person the victim or the accused can go to and speak freely in the context of receiving spiritual guidance." In addition to covering the reporting process and the legal aspects associated with military sexual assault cases, attendees also learned about the psychology of trauma and the psychological impact of sexual assault on a victim. The final day focused on best practices for providing pastoral care to both the victims and the accused. Dr. Kristen Leslie of
Eden Theological Seminary and Dr. Marie Fortune of the Faith Trust Institute were contracted as subject matter experts to help chaplains learn how to better "care for those who pursue healing; to assist in lending an articulate vocabulary to those who've lost their voice due to the trauma of sexual assault," said Capt. Kyle Fauntleroy, a Navy chaplain and commanding officer of the Naval Chaplaincy School and Center. Throughout her training, Leslie emphasized the ability of chaplains to bring "healing where there is brokenness; to be a safe place for victims to be heard and understood." She described how the chaplain's presence, combined with their ethical and theological framework, can help bring healing and hope to those who are struggling and hurting. "Chaplains offer compassion when being present with people who are suffering. They help them to make sense of what has happened to them emotionally, physically and spiritually," Leslie said. "Chaplains help victims navigate through grief and loss and serve as a reminder that they are deserving of attention,not only by a chaplain, but also by God.That there are deserving of justice," she added.

STORY/PHOTO BY ADC(AW/SW) Q. M. TRIPLETT Fleet Readiness Center Mid-Atlantic Oceana Public Affairs Officer Master Chief Avionics Technician (AW) Bill White from U.S. Fleet Forces and Senior Chief Culinary Specialist (EXW) Cajan Nelms visited Fleet Readiness Center MidAtlantic Oceana to provide chief petty officer (CPO) training Oct. 16. The one-day seminar was designed to energize CPO messes to become more effective leaders by focusing on CPO responsibilities,key Navy programs,team building, and leader development. This initiative was not a training requirement; it was an opportunity to leverage fleet CPO trainer instructional support on an “as requested” basis. “Our Navy was built on the fundamentals of excellence and unity which are two very important elements to ensure that our Navy tradition lives on for generations to come,” said Master Chief Dale Arnold, Command Master Chief for Fleet Readiness Center Mid-Atlantic. “It is not uncommon that we see senior leadership putting so much effort on being ‘Brilliant on the Basics,’ this waterfront training will continue to preserve our legacy while ensuring our senior leadership remains the driving force behind the success of our Navy.” Instructors will travel at the request of force and fleet master chiefs to host these one-day seminars. This is a high value, low cost initiative designed to invest in CPO leadership and reinforce key U.S. Fleet Forces tenets. Being Brilliant on the Basics and CPO accountability are key ingredients for a successful CPO Mess. “This is the type of training every CPO mess needs in order to build a stronger mess,” said Nelms. “I am happy our CPO Mess was able to attend this training because it was a real eye-opener on how we view each other as chiefs,” said Chief Aviation Maintenance Administrationman (AW/SW) Shara Polk.

FRCMA Sailors and Marines volunteer at Anthem Wicked 10k
Fufilling my Oath of Enlistment STORY/PHOTO BY ADC (AW/SW) ASIEM MCBEAN “I will beat my cancer diagnosis again and continue my Navy career,â€? was the statement made by Aviation Machinist’s Mate Second Class (AW) Brandon E. Hair. Petty OfďŹ cer Hair reported onboard Fleet Readiness Center Mid-Atlantic (FRCMA) Oceana Jan. 28 after a series of chemotherapy, radiation treatments and brain surgery at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). In August, he was again diagnosed with cancerous tumors. He was readmitted to the UNC cancer ward on Aug. 18 to undergo a second round of intensive treatment to decrease the four newly discovered tumors; three in his brain and one on his spine, and was in serious jeopardy of not being able to participate in the September Navy wide exam. On Sep. 5, the Navy wide advancement exam commenced and Petty OfďŹ cer Hair was too weak to participate due to the effects of intensive chemotherapy and radiation. He would have to wait for the substitute exam in October and hope his condition had improved. With the late exam date approaching, Petty OfďŹ cer Hair was still unable to walk without assistance. He texted his command, “I am too weak to take the exam and really don’t know if I will be able to test.â€? In response, Lt. Dennis Pollmeier, FRCMA Oceana Power Plants Division OfďŹ cer and Lt. Cmdr. Jason Bristlin,theAssistant Maintenance OfďŹ cer, coordinated with NAS Oceana Educational Services OfďŹ ce to send a proctor to his mother’s home in Fayetteville,North Carolina where he was spending his convalescent leave
AD2 (AW) Brandon E. Hair from Test Cell Work Center (450) took time off from intensive radiation treatment to participate in the annual Navy substitute advancement exam. Hair successfully completed his advancement exam for Aviation Machinist’s Mate 1st Class in Fayetteville, North Carolina on Sept. 24.
to administer the Aviation Machinist’s Mate 1st Class exam to Hair. On a couch in the privacy of his mother’s living room, Petty OfďŹ cer Hair drained from all the radiation and unable to get up from the couch, completed his rating exam. After completing the exam he offered these words, “Thank you Lord, God for waking me up today and my command for granting me this opportunity to continue to fulďŹ ll my oath of enlistment.â€? Petty OfďŹ cer Hair is truly an American Hero and Fleet Readiness Center Mid-Atlantic could not be more proud of this young Sailor’s effort to continue to ďŹ ght the battle.

STORY/PHOTO BY AD3 PHURTURA L. BRAZIER FRCMA Oceana Public Affairs Virginia Beach, Va – FRCMA Oceana Sailors and Marines volunteered at J&A Racing’s 5th annual Anthem Wicked 10k on Oct. 26 in Virginia Beach. FRCMA’s MWR put together a group of volunteers to assist with the race in any way they could.This year they were given the task of being “course marshalls� for the 6 mile race.Their job was to assist the Virginia Beach Police Department with pedestrian and vehicle interferences during the race, ensuring the safety of everyone who came out to run. As serious as this position is, the volunteers were able to enjoy themselves by cheering for the racers as they passed and looking for costumes that stood out the most. “I really had fun doing this.� said Aviation Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class (AW) Tiffani Witcher.
There were about 25 volunteers that made up the FRCMA group for the race. Each one stationed at different points of the course. Some had two or more, depending on the high hotel trafďŹ c in that particular area. “We were cheering everyone on from start to ďŹ nish. By the end of it I was deďŹ nitely ready to sit down and have lunch but overall, I had a blastâ€? said Aviation Machinists Mate Airman Eduardo Sardinas. The volunteers were there from 7:30 to 11:00 a.m.on their post.With the day starting at 38 degrees, both racers and volunteers felt exhausted but accomplished when the last racer crossed the ďŹ nish line. “I felt ecstatic and wonderfully happy after this,â€? said Cpl. Benjamin Vincent. MWR will be assembling another volunteer group for the“Surf-n-Santa 10 Miler,â€?also hosted by J&A Racing for Dec. 7.
