uring World War II, the message “loose lips sink ships” was an idiom that reminded servicemen and citizens to avoid discussing secure information that could help the enemy. Today the idiom is “loose tweets sink fleets” but the purpose is the same reminding Sailors and civilians to avoid sharing information on social media that could be used to harm our forces at home and overseas. The Navy, its sister services and the DoD have issued social media guidance on

what Sailors and civilians should be sharing and to whom. The goal is education, according to Naval Air Station Key West Information Technology Director Gidget Johns. Johns hosted a Lunch and Learn session on Social Media April 2. There is an age difference in how social media is used, she told the group. “Oldsters will lock it down,” she said. Young people, however, grew up with the technology. “Social media is important to them because that’s see snoops page 16

hen the Navy College at Naval Air Station Key West closed its doors in 2013, it directed Sailors to the Navy's Virtual Education Center for educational service/counseling and support. There no longer was a person to help guide them through the college maze.

Fortunately, Saint Leo University, with its staff of three, has had a presence at NAS Key West for about two decades. The university offers educational services to all branches of the military and Coast Guard serving in Key West as well as their dependents and DoD civilians working on base.

y inspiration for this article came from a bird I saw outside my window flying around the barracks. As I watched it, I noticed fluttering outside the windows moving back and forth. It was in that moment, I realized what the bird was doing. It was fighting with its reflection in the window. It was acting frenzied, thinking there was another bird in its territory. As I laughed at this situation, it dawned on me that this is a reality in our lives. When things are not going right, we are quick to look around to find that culprit that is making us miserable or invading our zone. As a result, we become angry toward different people because we fail to see the reality. We disregard that it is our own reflection we are actually fighting. Through marriage counseling and trainings, I see how conflict can arise. Most of the time, it is caused by two people seeing the same situation and confronting it differently. We may be created equal, but that does not mean we are the same. Our personalities, the way we learn and our life situations make us different. Even if you were

ted. So Nathan tells a story of a man stealing from another man. And David reacts saying the one in the wrong should repay fourfold and forfeit his life. And Nathan replies saying David is the guilty man. David had different options. He could have blamed the Ammonites for the war. He could have blamed Bathsheba for taking a bath where he could see. He could have become angry and had Nathan executed. He could have blamed God for not stopping him from going so far. Instead, he repented for his transgressions. When we can step back and look at what is happening, it is a good idea to start with ourselves first. It doesn’t mean we dismiss issues and never confront them, but we must be willing to do a self-assessment. When we do, we won’t be like the bird beating its wings in a fury because we “see” another bird. Instead, we will understand that we may be a part of the problem.

The deadline for submitting a scholarship application to the Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation is Wednesday. The scholarship program is open to high school seniors, undergraduate and graduate students whose parent is a BBC military family housing resident. Scholarship applicants must plan to attend, or already attend, an accredited college or university on a full-time basis in the fall of 2015. For details on scholarship requirements and information on how to complete an application, visit the Foundation’s website, www.bbcommunitiesfoundation.org.

Starting April 18, Keys residents will need to include the area code when making local phone calls. Aboard Naval Air Station Key West, the change only affects local calling. When dialing a local number, dial 9 plus the 10-digit local number. The processes for making on-base four-digit, long distance, DSN or toll-free calls are unchanged. The mandatory 10-digit dialing comes as the 305 area code has been exhausted, with no available phone numbers left. New telephone lines in the Keys will have the 786 area code beginning June 1. see this just in page 10

sor and faculty member for university programs like Saint Leo, which offers online/distance/virtual classroom and on-site classes. She arrived here three months ago, glad for a promotion and an opportunity to move from Palm Beach to the Keys. In Palm Beach, she was with Barry University working with military members through the local Veterans Administration office. Most of those veterans were seeking law enforcement and firefighting credentials. “I had visited here [on and off] for 15 years and wanted to live here,” she said. “Working with the VA was a good transition to the military.” Saint Leo has had a partnership with the Navy since 1973 and has centers in California, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. At NAS Key West, the Saint Leo Education Center has 92 students enrolled. Houston encourages active duty members to start their college coursework now, rather than wait until after getting out of the service. “I always tell people to have a plan B in place,” she said. “A degree is one thing you can always take with you.” The Navy’s tuition assistance and the Florida Resident Access Grant, which provides up to $1,500 in financial aid per semester, makes going to college a nominal out-ofpocket expense. “We work to meet all the requirements to be eligible

for BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing),” Houston added. Unlike typical college programs, Saint Leo’s classes are eight-weeks long. A limited number of classes are taught at the education center but classes can be taken online, through inter-computer classes or in a virtual classroom. Saint Leo also has classes set up on CD-ROM for deployed military members. Regardless of the medium, Houston said instructors are readily available to help students via email and phone calls. More often, college students don’t have that access or support, she added. Saint Leo University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, which has the strictest standards of the seven regions that accredit colleges and universities. Saint Leo’s class identification numbers and credits are the same as those at the state schools in Florida, Houston noted. The curriculum is just as rigorous as the state schools as well. When a student decides to go to a state college or university, the Saint Leo credits transfer just as from other state institutions. According to a majority of students who posted reviews online, the coursework was described as challenging. They also gave positive remarks to instructor assistance and accessibility. Houston and Assistant Director Paul Tontz are available from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday - Friday, in Bldg. A-718, second floor, on Boca Chica Field. The phone is (305) 293-2847.

t Naval Air Station Key West, April is designated as a time to focus on window safety. Spring is the perfect time to open the windows and enjoy the fresh air but it is important to be aware of what can be done to help keep families safe from the risk of accidental falls or other window-related injuries. Here are some window safety tips from the National Safety Council that we share with our residents in order to protect our communities. Preventing falls out of windows is just as important as learning how to use one in an emergency. Unattended children run

the greatest risk of falls and injuries, so the best first step is to carefully watch your children as they play. Nothing can substitute for careful supervision. • Keep your windows closed and locked when children are around. When opening windows for ventilation, open windows that a child cannot reach. • Do not rely on insect screens to prevent a fall. Insect screens are designed to provide ventilation while keeping insects out, not to prevent a child’s fall from a window. • Set and enforce rules about keeping children’s play away from windows or patio doors. Falling through the glass can

NSTC launches SAPR website for Navy recruits, new officers From Naval Service Training Command Public Affairs

N

aval Service Train­ ing Command kicked off Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month with the launch of a new Sexual Assault Prevention and Response website, April 1. The site is www.netc.navy. mil/nstc/SAPR2/s_assault. asp. With the NSTC geographic domain extending throughout the country, overseeing Recruit Training Command, Officer Training Command, Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps,

which contains more than 160 affiliated colleges and universities, the new SAPR website will provide a "one-stop shop” for SAPR resources. “At NSTC, we train 98 percent of the Sailors and officers who enter the Navy,” said Capt. Bob Fink, NSTC deputy commander. “Establishing a culture in our Navy that is intolerant of sexual assault and supportive of victims begins with us. The website provides information and training to our commands in order to protect the men and women who are volunsee SAPR page 10

be fatal or cause serious injury. • Keep furniture, or anything children can climb, away from windows. Children may use such objects as a climbing aid. While some falls occur from windows, it is important to realize that in the event of a fire, a window also can save a child's life. This is why windows play a critical role in home safety. Has your family developed an emergency fire escape plan? Windows provide a secondary means of escape from a burning home. Determine your family’s emergency escape plan and practice it regularly. In the plan, include two elements of escape from every room. Remember that children

may have to rely on a window to escape in a fire. Help them learn to safely use a window under these circumstances. To educate children on the importance of window safety, BBC has created a kid-friendly crossword puzzle which can be found at http://www.naskeywesthomes.com/community-life/kids-corner. To learn more about Window Safety, visit http://www.naskeywesthomes.com/com/resident-resources/safety.

SAPR Victim Advocate

“I

have been sexually assaulted, or someone I know has. What are my options?” During the “Can I Kiss You?” presentation at Naval Air Station Key West, Mike Domitrz conducted a poll that began with a “raise your hand if you know someone who.” The poll clearly s h o w e d nearly every audience member had been impacted by sexual assault in some way, shape, or form. The central goal of the DoD’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program is for victims to know they will be treated with dignity and respect and receive the medical treatment, mental health counseling and the advocacy services they deserve. If you or someone you know is sexually assaulted, take the victim to a safe location and call the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator or victim advocate. The SARC or VA is there to assist the victim, who has two reporting options - restricted or unrestricted. With restricted (confidential) reporting, the victim can access health care,

advocacy services, and legal services without the command or law enforcement being notified. The restricted reporting policy allows the victim to report the crime to specific individuals: the SARC, SAPR VA or health care personnel. While the special victims counsel and chaplains have the privilege of confidentiality, they can’t accept a restricted report. W i t h unrestricted reporting, the victim can access health care, advocacy services and legal services, but the command and law enforcement are notified. Unrestricted reporting doesn’t restrict the reporting options to specific individuals; for example, the victims can report the chain of command, the chaplain and law enforcement. For victim assistance please contact the Safe Helpline by calling 1 (877) 995-5247, going to www. Safehelpline.org or by texting 55247. The NAS Key West 24/7 Hotline is (305) 797-1408; NAS Key West SARC is at the Fleet and Family Support Center on Sigsbee Park, (305) 293-2408 or 786-383-7873.

nlike many competitions, the goal of this face-off wasn’t to win - it was to avoid receiving the ugly totem trophy. In a bowling contest March 27, Naval Air Station Key West’s officers defeated the Key West Area Chief Petty Officers Association at the Air Lanes Bowling Center on Boca Chica Field. The competition is an exclusive Key West event, taking items common to the locale and adding them totem pole that is awarded to the losing team, according to NAS Key West Sports Coordinator Robin Boucree. “We are always looking for more ways to create a friendly competition for Sailors,” said Boucree. “We came up with the idea last year and brought it to the captain. It’s another way to promote camaraderie and sportsmanship.” Last year, it was the chief’s mess that avoided the totem trophy after taking on the officers in a dodgeball competition. After winning the bowling competition, NAS Key West Commanding Officer Capt. Steve McAlearney turned over the infamous trophy to CMC Mark McDonald. The trophy has been on display in the NAS Key West command suite since it was awarded last year. “They can add to it, change it up and make it their own,” said Boucree. As the losing team, the Key West CPOA will choose the next competition, which will be advertised at the Boca Fitness Center and on the NAS Key West MWR Facebook fan page.

CSADD skit gives voice to good, bad decisions Story and photos by MC1 (SW/AW) Brian Morales Southernmost Flyer

T

he first day of the month may be April Fools’ Day, but the focus of the month is no joke. Naval Air Station Key West kicked off Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month March 26 with a proclamation signing by Commanding Officer Capt. Steve McAlearney, followed by skit by the Southernmost Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions. The event took place in Bldg. A-515, Boca Chica Field. CSADD members acted out the good and bad consciences of two individuals on a night out, illustrating the struggle that comes with making responsible choices. Sexual Assault and Response Coordinator Gina Marcano and SAPRO ETC Latoya Blaine have scheduled a number of activities tied to April’s SAAPM campaign, including more performances by CSADD.

how they communicate,” said Johns. That opportunity for instant communication has positive benefits; for example, social media is a great tool to relay information out before and after a weather incident. “The word gets out a lot faster and it’s clearer because it’s not a repeated message.” Johns identified the following ways to keep information secure while using social media: • Use a different email address for social media accounts to protect your primary email address from social media hackers. • Review social media settings - security, privacy, timeline and tagging - frequently. “Every time Facebook makes changes, you need to check your security settings, ensure they didn’t go back to ‘public’, and remain the way you set them,” Johns said. If you post a message and make it public, rather than just “friends” that will reset the default to public and you have to change it in the security settings or every time you post. • Update social media passwords every 60 - 90 days. Password resetting is the easiest because all the answers to your security questions are usually listed on your social media. Example: Pet’s name, high school, etc. Set alerts to notify you if someone attempts to hack your account. • Either respond or decline friend requests. If ignored, the program will eventually add requests to your

friends’ group. • Set alerts so you know if you’ve been tagged in photos or posts. Review those posts and content. • Check to see if anyone has created a separate account mirroring yours, using your name and personal information. It can be an attempt to set up a scam. • Google your own name to see what information is out on the internet. • When posting photos - especially of children turn off the phone’s location services to prevent the photos from having a time, date and place stamp. • Download only those apps that are available through an authorized producer. Be aware that it may be more than friends who are viewing posts and messages. Shadow followers collect information that, when taken altogether, could prove to be detrimental to operational security and personal safety. Parents should help their children strengthen their privacy controls and teach them to use technology safely. Visit www.keepitsafe.org for resources for parents, educators and communities on how to ensure the safe use of technology.
