Ramrod Key family of three perished in a home fire this summer. In 2009, a young Coast Guardsman died when his Sigsbee bachelor quarters caught fire. Home fires cause thousands of dollars in damage and take lives. This week, home fire safety is the focus National Preparedness Month, which takes an all hazards approach to emergency preparation. Unattended cooking has been the cause of at least two fires on Naval Air Station Key West. Other causes of home fires include unattended candles or overloaded electrical outlets. Smoke alarms can warn of smoke and fire but families need be prepared to escape. As part of their emergency preparations, families should make and practice an escape plan. The plan should include every family member knowing how and when to safely exit the home. It should also include a see NPM page 2

SECNAV visits southernmost naval air station
From NAS Key West Public Affairs
S
ecretary of the Navy Ray Mabus made a quick fleet visit to the southernmost city to visit with Sailors and Marines at Naval Air Station Key West Thursday. Mabus toured Boca Chica Field and spoke with the Marines of Marine Attack Squadron (VMA) 211 and Sailors at Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 122 and Fighter Squadron Composite (VFC) 111. After Boca Chica Field, NAS Key West Commanding Officer Capt. Steve McAlearney took Mabus to the Truman waterfront to talk to units training in the waters off Key West. Mabus spent the short time in Key West chatting with Sailors and
Marines and posing for their every photo request. Mabus also spoke to NAS Key West’s chief petty officer selectees, wishing them strength in the final week of their CPO Phase 2 training. With more than 100 naval installations spanning the globe, McAlearney knows it is imperative to show off what makes NAS Key West unique and valuable to the Navy. Before SECNAV’s arrival, he spoke to the hard work accomplished at the air station. “When you work in paradise, there’s a perception up north that you don’t work as hard, and I want to show the Secretary how hard our Sailors and civilians work here every day,” said McAlearney. “I’m excited for him to
see us at work and for the opportunity to show off just what all we accomplish here on a daily basis, not just for the Navy, but all of the Department of Defense, as well.” At the end of the day, Mabus saw firsthand that Key West is capable of producing more than just perfect sunsets and that NAS Key West is a world-class installation with support from the Key West community. “I greatly appreciated the opportunity to visit with Sailors and Marines and see the outstanding capabilities of Naval Air Station Key West,” said Mabus. “We have always received tremendous support from the community here and I would like to thank the people of Key West for their hospitality.”

Yo quiero
Y Sept. 11 2001 - American Airlines Flight 77 is hijacked by terrorists and hits the Pentagon, causing 184 fatalities, including 33 military, six civilians and three contractors.
Sept. 12 1987 - USS Key West (SSN 722) is commissioned at her homeport of Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. The boat is the third Navy vessel to be named after the southernmost city.
Sept. 13 2008 - Hurricane Ike hits Galveston and Houston, Texas.
Sept. 14 1950 - During the Korean War, the First and Fifth Marines go ashore for the Inchon Invasion, which includes Army and Korean forces.
Sept. 15 1958 - Lt. R. H. Tabor, wearing a Navydeveloped pressure suit, completes a 72-hour simulated flight at altitudes as high as 139,000 feet.
Sept. 16 1854 - Mare Island, California, becomes the first permanent Navy installation on the west coast, with Cmdr. David Farragut as its first base commander.
Sept. 17 1787 - The Continental Convention signs the Constitution at Philadelphia, replacing the Articles of the Confederation.
o quiero is the Spanish phrase meaning, “I want.” It is also a part of an infamous slogan back in the day of a popular fast food restaurant that opened up a few weeks ago. For legal issues, I cannot place the name in this column, but I am sure you know what I am talking about. Whether you have been there or not, I would expect that many of you have heard about the long lines for the drive thru that reached over an hour of wait time. I drove by the line almost every day, seeing cars lined up on to the road awaiting their chance to have a crunchy or soft shell taco. Like all new things, it did not take long for the newness to wear off and the lines to shorten. Give it a few more weeks and it will be running like every other fast food restaurant in the area. It made me think of the newness factor we have in life. It makes us say, “Yo quiero/I want…” We finally get it after waiting forever, but in time the appeal deteriorates. Think about a “new” car you buy. You make sure it is washed every week. You try not to drop crumbs inside of it. You park away from cars so no one accidently dings it. You treasure it. Then you eat a crunchy taco that spills on the seat. You wash it

a few times a month if you are lucky, and you get tired of walking across the black top desert so you park next to all the other cars. Unfortunately, this concept happens to us with jobs, places and people as well. You join the Navy and find CHAPLAIN'S out the recruitCORNER er left out some important details about seeing the world, or you come to Key West and you find out that living and NAS Key West visiting are two Command Chaplain different concepts. You may Lt. Ethan Everts even roll over one morning looking at the love of your life and wonder when death will part you if that snoring does not stop. When you hit this stage, it can become “No quiero!” You wonder if this is what you want. You have two responses: quit or work through it. There are times where quitting is the only option. However, I can tell you most of your frustrations are temporary or fixable if you work through it. Let’s look at the examples. We are all contracted in the Navy; meaning, we have an end date. However, if we quit because it gets hard, we may lose out on other life skills. You may regret later that you got out, especially if you took drastic measures.
If you quit every time you hit obstacles, get ready to quit a lot. If Key West is not your favorite place to be, just know you will have permanent change of station. I eventually will leave here and head to Norfolk. It was not my first choice. Actually, I did not look at it as a choice, but it is where I am going. I can either go there dreading it or make the best of it. In the end, I might enjoy it enough to stay. If not, it will only be three years, so I will enjoy what is there and move on. And finally, your marriage/ relationship will have conflict, and your spouse will not have that same awe factor. You need to work through it and find what you love about each other. And as you work through it, you will find your love grow in a deeper way. So figure out what you truly want, work through the issues and look for the good. If after it all it seems that it will not work, then move on to the next chapter, but make sure you can continue forward with no regrets. If you want to come to chapel, please join us at 10:30 a.m. at the Truman Chapel. If you are in need of care and guidance, please call the chaplain at (305) 293-2318 Naval Air Station Key West or (305) 292-8788 Coast Guard Sector Key West. Also, I am not endorsing you to eat fast food every meal/day (Chaplain Dietz). God Bless and work through it!

uicide prevention goes beyond training people to recognize risk factors, warning signs or what to do in a crisis. You may not realize it, but suicide prevention happens every day when you do something kind for someone who didn’t expect it, or just take the time to actually listen to someone when you ask how they’re doing. It’s hard to quantify exactly how many lives you’re impacting or how you’re impacting them, but
the one fact you can count on is that the little things you do mean something big to someone else. Those small acts can make a difference. This year’s Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month theme “1 Small ACT” builds on 2014’s theme ACT - Act Care Talk, because a small act can have a big impact on someone’s life. One way to show your support as an individual or organization is to participate in the “1 Small ACT” photo gallery. Participants can print the “1 Small ACT” sign directly from the tool-
kit or online, personalize it with their example of a small act that they can perform in a shipmate’s life, and then send a photo with the sign to suicideprevention@navy.mil. Submissions will also be accepted through the Real Warriors mobile app, which can be downloaded on the Apple App Store or Google Play. The “1 Small ACT” photo gallery will be displayed on the Navy Suicide Prevention Office’s Operational Stress Control Facebook page, building a virtual wall of hope for the entire Navy
community. Submissions accepted through Aug. 31, 2016. Another way to show support is to wear yellow on Sept. 18, which has been designated as Yellow Ribbon Day at Naval Air Station Key West. Remember, suicide prevention is an all hands evolution, so family and civilian involvement is encouraged. By stepping outside of yourselves and your everyday focus to make an impact and share an emotional connection, you’re not only investing time in others, but also in yourself.

Sailors to participate in DOD health survey From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs
T
he Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs wants Sailors to participate in the 2015 Health Related Behaviors Survey that began Tuesday to assess the health status of service members. The survey is being launched by the independent, non-profit Research and Development Corporation in coordination with IFC International. The HRBS is conducted every three years and
assesses the health related behaviors and lifestyles of military personnel and the potential to impact readiness. Sailors throughout the Navy are chosen at random from the Defense Manpower Data Center to participate in the anonymous survey. “The Sailors who will take this survey will help us learn about the work we’re already doing and how we can get better,” said Rear Adm. Ann Burkhardt, director, 21st Century Sailor Office. “This will shape and guide the programs we’re running that keep Sailors healthy and
resilient, and that’s why their feedback is critical.” The voluntary HRBS is estimated to take 40-minutes to complete, and will be sent to Sailors through a secure-email invitation. The data obtained from Sailors’ responses will inform DOD of potential health problems in the military and help suggest ways to solve or prevent them. The survey will give service members a chance to voice their opinions on issues that affect their health, careers and wellbeing of family members. The results of the survey will be published.
