MWR programs earn four stars in CNIC audit From NAS Key West Public Affairs
N
aval Air Station Key West’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation program fell just a few points shy of a five-star accreditation following a recent audit by Commander, Navy Installations Command. The audit team, which announced the results Aug. 6, awarded the program four stars, according to Timothy Campbell, MWR director. “This was the first time we were visited by a CNIC team, but the standards have been under development for several years,” Campbell said. The CNIC accreditation team lead was Karen Widman, assisted by Leslie Gould, also from CNIC, and Amy Cimino-Shockley from Commander, Navy Region Southeast. “The purpose of the audit is to provide consistency and quality programming at all installations,” Campbell said. Although the audit was a review of all local MWR programs, only five have specific set of standards, he noted. The Child and Youth Program wasn’t included in this audit. At NAS Key West, Campbell said the programs that were see MWR page 8

avy Exchange Key West employees, patrons and service members were recognized for winning the 2014 Bingham Award during a ceremony Tuesday at the NEX on Sigsbee Park. Thanks to sales of fuel, recreational items like fishing gear and bikes, and consumables, NEX had $13.1 million dollars in sales for 2014. The award was for Sales
Category 5 ($7 - $14 million). “This year we earned 106 percent more than last year, and 109 percent over our planned earnings,” said NEX Key West General Manager Ron Dotson. “This award not only shows earnings, but a partnership between the NEX and the supporting command. “Winning this Bingham Award represents a tremendous achievement on the part of all the store associates and managers as well as the base community,” Dotson said. “The spirit, dedication and
professionalism of all our associates exemplify that each take to heart the mission of our command.” NAS Key West Commanding Officer Capt. Steve McAlearney lauded the NEX for its accomplishment, given its size. “The NEX plays such a large role in such a big area, for such a small establishment,” McAlearney said. “Key West has such sparse shopping selections and this NEX means a lot to every military family see nex page 3

was reminded of another nugget of wisdom during my travels last month when I was faced with a choice to fly or drive to our destination. The choice wasn’t hard since flying to my hometown would have cost us $3,000. Let alone we would have had to get a rental car and car seats. I would guess we would have spent close to $4,000 by the end of our trip just on transportation needs alone. Though the speed and ease of flying for one day versus a threeday drive would be nice, the cost was too much. However, the cost would not be merely monetary. As we drove roundtrip we had a lot of experiences that made all the unexpected parts I talked about last week worth the drive. First, I made memories and passed on traditions with my family. We played family car games along the way. My twoyear-old daughter would play with her toys making up the most interesting stories. Second, I would have missed
visiting and reconnecting with family and friends in different locations that were along our route. Third, we were able to go to Orlando and have fun at Sea World, where I discovered my kids enjoyed rollercoasters and as a result we CHAPLAIN'S can look into CORNER other parks in the future. And there are many other things we would have missed out on if NAS Key West we took the “easy Command road.” Chaplain In our lives, as Lt. we walk our spirEthan Everts itual path, there are days that we wish we could just fast forward through or skip all together. There are times when the journey seems long with all the unexpected delays. However, as I look back on my travels in life, the lessons learned, the friendships forged and the good times lived are worth the longer journey. When you look at the lives of people in the Bible, you find that the greats had especially long journeys. Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, King David, Jesus, Peter, Paul and many
others took the long journey. Without their journeys, they would not be who they were or write and teach with the wisdom they had. There was a phrase through my training time in becoming a chaplain that I heard a lot: “Embrace the suck.” There were a lot of times that I had to embrace it, but even through those times I learned a lot and made friends. It was through those times and other trying times that God, my faith and my friends carried me through some difficult situations. I say embrace your journey. You do not have to enjoy every aspect of the journey, but do not throw it away. The resiliency we gain, the relationships we form and the wisdom we learn makes us who we are today; all of these are gained through the long journey. If you need a place of worship, journey down to the Truman Chapel at 10:30 a.m. on Sundays. If you need care and guidance through your journey, talk with your chaplain, (305) 293-2318, Naval Air Station Key West or (305) 292-8788, Coast Gaurd Sector Key West. God bless and journey on!

W.H. Bingham, who in 1946 was directed by the Secretary of the Navy to establish what is now the Navy Exchange Service Command. The Bingham Award Program was established in 1979 to recognize excellence in customer service, operations and management.

In 2014, the acting troupe performed for more than 26,000 Sailors and Marines in 2014. The program incorporates audience participation in teaching bystander intervention and assertive communication strategies, which can be key in preventing sexual assault. Loftus is visiting NAS Key West, meeting with command and Fleet and Family Support Center staff. On Monday she will host a focus group with installation SAPR victim advocates to discuss the SAPR program, including training, areas of improvement and concerns.
